sbalneavTurns out I did most of it in one day.05:38
LaserJockrock ON!05:38
sbalneavSome kind soul in #gtk+ turned me on to JUST the right call I needed.05:39
sbalneavI'm hoping to have a first cut of an ldm that can handle bad passwords, and password expiry's by Sunday, if I'm lucky.05:39
nixternalcrimsun: ya, I just installed dhcpcd and it seems I have internet05:41
nixternaldon't know why it was uninstalled05:41
crimsunthat's a very severe problem, since you shouldn't need a universe package to establish it.05:42

=== andrew____ [n=chatzill@user-12ld7dv.cable.mindspring.com] has joined #edubuntu
andrew____trying to set up edubuntu server and the thin client is registereing its DHCP IP address but reporting a "FILE NOT FOUND" error.06:24
andrew____When I look in /opt folder on the server, it's empty...06:25
sbalneavHave you done an ltsp-update-kernels?06:25
andrew____let me try that...06:25
sbalneavIf /opt is empty, you've got no ltsp at all06:25
sbalneavltsp-build-client in that case06:25
andrew____but my package manager says it's installed06:26
andrew____ah...06:26
sbalneavthe packages are installed, but you haven't built the chroot06:26
andrew____yes...it's building now!06:27
andrew____I built it on top of ubuntu, rather than installing from edubuntu server distro...06:28
sbalneavRight, that was the problem.06:29
sbalneavthe ltsp chroot gets built at server install time.06:29
andrew____how do I return to fix the pixel dimensions I set.  I accidentally limited things to the highest resolution.06:29
sbalneavsystem->preferences->screen resolution06:30
andrew____I used apt-get install edubuntu-server06:30
andrew____Aren't the dropdown parameters determined by a config file?  I've got a high resolution monitor and it's dimensions don't appear...06:31
sbalneavYou could do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I beleive06:32
andrew____also, is it normal for the graphics to be "laggy" in an x terminal?  I'm running edubuntu desktop GUI on my server install and the screen refresh time is really slow...06:33
sbalneavDepends how fast the X box is.06:34
sbalneavThings will be a little slower.  Encryptions being used, the X is being tunneled over ssh.06:35
sbalneavIn the next version (gutsy) you'll have the option of going unencrypted for speed.06:35
andrew____Even when it's happenning on the same machine, correct?06:35
andrew____I've got the thin client booting now.  Hoooray.06:37
sbalneavSorry, are you talking about slow screen on a thin client, or on the server?06:37
andrew____On the server06:37
andrew____Dragging windows creates horrible trails...06:38
sbalneavWhat kind of video card do you have?06:38
andrew____Its an onboard, cheap one.06:40
sbalneavMight want to check your xorg.conf, maybe it used the vesa driver06:40
andrew____where is that file again?06:40
sbalneav/etc/X11/06:41
andrew____So I'd want to switch the driver to....?06:41
sbalneav"An onboard, cheap one", whatever that is.06:42
andrew____sorry, I'm a bit dense...looking at the device manager doesn't reveal anything about the video card...is this to be expected if it has a generic driver?06:44
andrew____Another issue, the thin client screen is shifted about 4" left of where it should be.06:48
sbalneavFlatpanel?06:50
andrew____yes06:51
sbalneavlspci should tell you what kind of card you have.06:51
sbalneavjust hit the auto button06:51
andrew____VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP (rev 01)06:51
andrew____"auto button" ?06:52
sbalneavSo, you'll want driver "via"06:53
sbalneavMost flatpanel LCD monitors have an "auto" button for syncing resolution.06:53
andrew____This is a TV06:53
sbalneavYou connecting through the svideo connector?06:54
andrew____VGA06:54
sbalneavCould be it's not reporting the DCC information correctly06:55
=== Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #edubuntu

athI am looking to set up a server for our small high school09:02
athI have just begun to investigate edubuntu and I am stuck on some things.  I was wondering if comeone could help out09:03
athI have never used irc before, how does this work, am I doing it right?09:04
stgraberath: maybe I can09:04
aththank you for trying09:05
athI installed edubuntu on a virtual machine first off09:05
athnow how do I get the thin clients to boot on the other machines?09:06
athDo I have to set the bios to boot into a network?09:06
stgraberyes you have to09:07
stgraberor if you can't you'll have to download a PXE boot floppy from rom-o-matic09:07
stgraberon your edubuntu server you should have two network cards, the first one connected to the outdoor (wan/public lan) and the other on which a dhcp server will be set for the thin clients09:07
stgraberthen connect your clients to the second one and boot them on the network either by using the BIOS PXE option (boot on lan) or the floppy09:08
athis it necessary to have 2 network cards09:08
stgraberit's easier but no it's not necessary09:08
stgraberdo you currently have a DHCP server installed on your network ?09:09
athno, i just have kubuntu desktop09:09

stgraberjust nbd-client which doesn't do its job09:13
sbalneavthe nbd-client within the chroot exececutes just seems to do nothing09:14
sbalneavThere was an update to the nbd tools a few days ago, notes seemed to be something about a new upstream version.09:14
sbalneavI'm going to try and see if I can put strace into the chroot tonight, so I can strace nbd-client, and see what's happening.09:15
