[03:39] <andrew2> Looking for help setting up LDAP.  I've been following tutorials to the tee and keep getting ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) when I query the userbase
[05:33] <sbalneav> Evening all
[05:34] <LaserJock> hi sbalneav
[05:34] <sbalneav> Hey LaserJock!
[05:34] <LaserJock> nixternal: I got the edubuntu-about.desktop translations in
[05:35] <nixternal> rock on!
[05:35] <nixternal> right now someone uploaded a bogus dhcpd that doesn't allow me to view the intarweb
[05:38] <crimsun> Martin touched it last.
[05:38] <crimsun> and it's dhcdbd.
[05:38] <sbalneav> I figured it was going to take WEEKS to even BEGIN to get an interactive greeter going for ldm2
[05:38] <sbalneav> Turns out I did most of it in one day.
[05:38] <LaserJock> rock ON!
[05:39] <sbalneav> Some kind soul in #gtk+ turned me on to JUST the right call I needed.
[05:39] <sbalneav> I'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.
[05:41] <nixternal> crimsun: ya, I just installed dhcpcd and it seems I have internet
[05:41] <nixternal> don't know why it was uninstalled
[05:42] <crimsun> that's a very severe problem, since you shouldn't need a universe package to establish it.
[05:43] <crimsun> I'd check with lure regarding his NM changes
[05:56] <moquist> LaserJock: now, for about 2 minutes
[06:04] <moquist> RichEd-2: hey hey
[06:20] <moquist> sbalneav: sounds good. I'm listening. :)
[06:20] <moquist> Well, sorta. I've popped in for about 10 minutes before going offline until Sunday afternoon.
[06:20] <moquist> ciao!
[06:21] <sbalneav> cya
[06:24] <andrew____> trying to set up edubuntu server and the thin client is registereing its DHCP IP address but reporting a "FILE NOT FOUND" error.
[06:25] <andrew____> When I look in /opt folder on the server, it's empty...
[06:25] <sbalneav> Have you done an ltsp-update-kernels?
[06:25] <andrew____> let me try that...
[06:25] <sbalneav> If /opt is empty, you've got no ltsp at all
[06:25] <sbalneav> ltsp-build-client in that case
[06:26] <andrew____> but my package manager says it's installed
[06:26] <andrew____> ah...
[06:26] <sbalneav> the packages are installed, but you haven't built the chroot
[06:27] <andrew____> yes...it's building now!
[06:28] <andrew____> I built it on top of ubuntu, rather than installing from edubuntu server distro...
[06:29] <sbalneav> Right, that was the problem.
[06:29] <sbalneav> the 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.
[06:30] <sbalneav> system->preferences->screen resolution
[06:30] <andrew____> I used apt-get install edubuntu-server
[06:31] <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...
[06:32] <sbalneav> You could do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I beleive
[06:33] <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...
[06:34] <sbalneav> Depends how fast the X box is.
[06:35] <sbalneav> Things will be a little slower.  Encryptions being used, the X is being tunneled over ssh.
[06:35] <sbalneav> In 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?
[06:37] <andrew____> I've got the thin client booting now.  Hoooray.
[06:37] <sbalneav> Sorry, are you talking about slow screen on a thin client, or on the server?
[06:37] <andrew____> On the server
[06:38] <andrew____> Dragging windows creates horrible trails...
[06:38] <sbalneav> What kind of video card do you have?
[06:40] <andrew____> Its an onboard, cheap one.
[06:40] <sbalneav> Might want to check your xorg.conf, maybe it used the vesa driver
[06:40] <andrew____> where is that file again?
[06:41] <sbalneav> /etc/X11/
[06:41] <andrew____> So I'd want to switch the driver to....?
[06:42] <sbalneav> "An onboard, cheap one", whatever that is.
[06:44] <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?
[06:48] <andrew____> Another issue, the thin client screen is shifted about 4" left of where it should be.
[06:50] <sbalneav> Flatpanel?
[06:51] <andrew____> yes
[06:51] <sbalneav> lspci should tell you what kind of card you have.
[06:51] <sbalneav> just hit the auto button
[06:51] <andrew____> VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP (rev 01)
[06:52] <andrew____> "auto button" ?
[06:53] <sbalneav> So, you'll want driver "via"
[06:53] <sbalneav> Most flatpanel LCD monitors have an "auto" button for syncing resolution.
[06:53] <andrew____> This is a TV
[06:54] <sbalneav> You connecting through the svideo connector?
[06:54] <andrew____> VGA
[06:55] <sbalneav> Could be it's not reporting the DCC information correctly
[06:55] <sbalneav> xorg relies on the monitor reporting it's frequencies properly.  A ton of things are buggy that way.
[06:56] <andrew____> is there a way to restart xorg?
[06:56] <sbalneav> ctl-alt-backspace
[07:06] <andrew____> just recovered from an xorg.conf error...the driver change I made was not kosher.
[07:12] <andrew____> now trying to install x11vnc on the client...can't find package.
[09:23] <willvdl> aargh, kubuntu file sharing has just dropped 300 files into the ether
[09:23] <willvdl> never to be seen again
[09:25] <RichEd> "where do you want your files to go today ?" ;)
[09:25] <RichEd> hope they did not represent too much lost work / info
[09:26] <willvdl> RichEd, I was backing up documentation
[09:26] <jsgotangco> ooppss
[09:26] <willvdl> not a lot of work lost but I just don't know how this is possible
[09:27] <RichEd> me wonders why jsgotangco is hugging his mispelt socks ?
[09:27] <willvdl> copied stuff across SAMBA to 2nd pc. turned off pc over night, this morning the folder is gone
[09:27] <jsgotangco> ;-)
[09:28] <willvdl> it's not a pretty thing when the universe decides to conspire against you :)
[09:39] <t94xr> universe?
[09:39] <t94xr> just the samba devs
[09:39] <t94xr> everyone else couldnt careless
[09:41] <willvdl> thanks
[09:41] <willvdl> I feel better now
[11:27] <willvdl> highvoltage, ping
[11:39] <highvoltage> willvdl: pong

[11:40] <highvoltage> willvdl: "nice". you're getting old :)
[11:40] <willvdl> that's the sound a fridge makes when you drag it along a tiled floor
[11:40] <highvoltage> Description:    Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
[11:40] <highvoltage> aaaaah, that's much better
[11:40] <highvoltage> willvdl: I'll ping you over the weekend to show you the changes
[11:40] <willvdl> isa nicah
[11:41] <willvdl> let me know if there's anything I can help with
[11:41] <willvdl> even if onlt verification
[11:44] <highvoltage> willvdl: will do, the more eyes we have on it, the better
[11:44] <willvdl> can't wait :) looking forward to updating our info
[02:10] <jonnoob> I need help with changing my local device(USB) to use ISO-8859-15 instead of UTF-8. Can anybody help?
[02:19] <JokeR-> hello everyone
[02:19] <JokeR-> i need help

[02:20] <`6og> JokeR-, what error?
[02:21] <JokeR-> dont know it writes "Loading" and afterthat a small dialog box appears where the only one option is reboot
[02:22] <`6og> unless you can give us more details, we probably cant help
[02:24] <jonnoob> can't anybody help me with getting USB-memory to work with non-ascii characters?
[02:25] <JokeR-> `6og
[02:25] <jonnoob> huh?
[02:25] <RichEd> jonnoob: can you ask in #ubuntu ? there are more techiies around there and it is not edubuntu specific is it ?
[02:26] <JokeR-> now im trying to load the cd from windows but it appears a dialog box "Start2.exe - application Error. The application failed to initializa properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application"
[02:26] <jonnoob> Sure.. No problem...
[02:27] <JokeR-> `6og any ideas?
[02:29] <`6og> JokeR-, what on earth are you trying to use to install?
[02:30] <JokeR-> ubuntu 7.04
[02:32] <`6og> JokeR-, i dont understand why you are running an exe

[02:47] <JokeR-> okay
[09:02] <ath> I am looking to set up a server for our small high school
[09:03] <ath> I have just begun to investigate edubuntu and I am stuck on some things.  I was wondering if comeone could help out
[09:04] <ath> I have never used irc before, how does this work, am I doing it right?
[09:04] <stgraber> ath: maybe I can
[09:05] <ath> thank you for trying
[09:05] <ath> I installed edubuntu on a virtual machine first off
[09:06] <ath> now how do I get the thin clients to boot on the other machines?
[09:06] <ath> Do I have to set the bios to boot into a network?
[09:07] <stgraber> yes you have to
[09:07] <stgraber> or if you can't you'll have to download a PXE boot floppy from rom-o-matic
[09:07] <stgraber> on 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 clients
[09:08] <stgraber> then 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 floppy
[09:08] <ath> is it necessary to have 2 network cards
[09:08] <stgraber> it's easier but no it's not necessary
[09:09] <stgraber> do you currently have a DHCP server installed on your network ?
[09:09] <ath> no, i just have kubuntu desktop
[09:09] <stgraber> hi sbalneav
[09:09] <ath> the ip addresses are controlled by the dhcp, is that the same?
[09:09] <sbalneav> Hey stgraber
[09:10] <sbalneav> ogra: you about dude?
[09:10] <ath> thank you for your help stgraber, I have to go.
[09:10] <stgraber> ok ... :)
[09:12] <stgraber> ogra, sbalneav : Did you guys have found a fix for that nbd problem (Unable to mount the squashfs image) ?
[09:12] <sbalneav> Yeah, I'm running into it myself
[09:13] <stgraber> It's pretty weird, from what I understand and checked there is nothing wrong :)
[09:13] <stgraber> just nbd-client which doesn't do its job
[09:14] <sbalneav> the nbd-client within the chroot exececutes just seems to do nothing
[09:14] <sbalneav> There was an update to the nbd tools a few days ago, notes seemed to be something about a new upstream version.
[09:15] <sbalneav> I'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.
[10:07] <stgraber> sbalneav: Are we sure that's the nbd-client which is buggy ?
[10:07] <stgraber> I tried connecting with feist's one and had the exact same result
[10:07] <stgraber> and trying a telnet on port 2000 from my laptop gives : ** (process:13090): WARNING **: Could not parse config file: Could not open config file.
[10:08] <sbalneav> Hm
[10:08] <sbalneav> ok
[10:08] <sbalneav> Well, I'll have a look
[10:08] <sbalneav> Maybe it's the server side that's jiggered.
[10:08] <sbalneav> That's easier to fix :)
[10:08] <stgraber> yes :)
[10:19] <stgraber> root@edubuntu:~# nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
[10:19] <stgraber> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[10:20] <LaserJock> that doesn't look good, and I don't even know anything about it ;-)
[10:20] <stgraber> (core is empty)
[10:30] <stgraber> sbalneav, ogra : It's definitely a bug of nbd-server 2.9.3-3, I've installed nbd-server_2.8.7-2ubuntu2 and it's working correctly
[10:34] <sbalneav> stgraber: ok, that makes it easy
[10:35] <sbalneav> Who's the maintainer for the nbd-server package?
[10:36] <sbalneav> I'm almost wondering if our newly minted core developer might not take that one over.
[10:36] <sbalneav> seeing as how we're pretty much the only project that's actually USING the nbd stuff
[10:36] <LaserJock> StevenK last touched it in Ubuntu
[10:36] <stgraber> Maintened by Wouter Verhelst (debian), uploaded by stevenk
[10:37] <stgraber> LaserJock was faster ...
[10:37] <sbalneav> I'll dig into it tonight when I get home.
[10:37] <stgraber> would be great to have that fixed by Tuesday (first Tribe-2 candidate build)
[10:38] <sbalneav> LaserJock: You gonna be on later tonight?
[10:39] <LaserJock> sbalneav: yes
[10:40] <sbalneav> k, If I come up with some patches, I'll ping you
[10:41] <LaserJock> ok
