[12:41] <wolflord> Afternoon all
[12:42] <wolflord> I have a question for all you Ubuntu experts, I am trying to setup a VPN on my Ubuntu box so I can view my box from work, question is ... HOW :)
[12:42] <wolflord> I have vnc working fine, but I would like to have a more secure connection
[12:57] <cliebow>   wolflord maybe nx is the way to go
[01:07] <wolflord> ok what is nx ?
[01:08] <wolflord> I found the howto's on how to VPN to a diffrent computer, but nothing on if I want to VPN into my Linux box from a Windows Computer
[02:58] <OptimusRex> does anyone know how to set up my display setting on my new edubuntu installation? There was a way of doing it through the konsole but I can't find the notes
[03:02] <OptimusRex> ubotu, help me with graphics settings please
[03:03] <LaserJock> OptimusRex: ubotu is an IRC bot
[03:03] <OptimusRex> that's ok but how do I get to search his knowledge base
[03:04] <OptimusRex> there's a way to make him pick key phrases and get answers
[03:04] <LaserJock> yeah
[03:04] <LaserJock> !nvidia
[03:04] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:07] <OptimusRex> I'm trying to install edubuntu but everything is too large for the screen so that I cannot see the ok buttons. Any help?
[03:08] <LaserJock> System->Preferences->Screen Resolution  perhaps
[03:11] <OptimusRex> that does not work if the OS is not installed. I'm still running the live dvd but can't install coz I cannot see everything.
[03:11] <OptimusRex> I need the Konsole and the commands that go with that. Do you know these
[03:34] <LaserJock> you can't get to the menu?
[03:39] <OptimusRex> I can get to the menu but the menu does not let me set anything to more than 640x480
[03:39] <OptimusRex> that's a fault of the live cd
[03:40] <LaserJock> well, that was the best it detected
[03:42] <OptimusRex> that's true. Hey, I've selected install on hard disk and it is showing the options to set everything. Let me see
[08:03] <willvdl> morning all
[08:05] <LaserJock> hi willvdl
[08:05] <willvdl> hey, long time
[08:06] <LaserJock> yeah
[08:08] <willvdl> taken a wee break. been reviving my photography
[08:11] <jsgotangco> hi
[08:13] <willvdl> hey
[09:07] <A_b> Greetings, I am currently downloading edubuntu live cd and was wondering if what desktop is the default if there is one?
[09:08] <LaserJock> Gnome is the default
[09:08] <LaserJock> although you can install Xfce4 from the Classroom Server Addon CD
[09:09] <willvdl> outa here. later folks
[09:09] <LaserJock> which you'll want anyway if you want the educational apps that are on the liveCD
[09:09] <RichEd> hi LaserJock / jsgotangco & A_b
[09:09] <LaserJock> I'm out too, night all
[09:09] <LaserJock> hi RichEd
[09:09] <RichEd> g'night laser
[09:11] <A_b> greetings RichEd
[09:11] <RichEd> A_b: I see your info is KDE ... are you a teacher / student / admin ?
[09:15] <A_b> neither, I am a mature student and am looking for an os for my old p2 400 mhz with 128 of ram. For my children to become linux users as I am a new user :)
[09:17] <A_b> Creative writing major
[09:18] <RichEd> :) well edubuntu is what you want then ...
[09:20] <A_b> I am currently running opensuse 10.2 on this old 900mhz P3 IBM thinkpad - it was the first linux os that just worked on this computer after win98 just couldn't go anymore
[09:21] <RichEd> well ubuntu is often labelled as "just works" and edubuntu comes with some cool apps for kids ... some fun ... some educational
[09:22] <A_b> and love the way linux seems to just do what it has to do and yes my son who is 12 is itching to look at some possibilities for developing his skills in graphics and animation
[09:24] <A_b> but i'm looking forward to trying out the live cd :)
[09:38] <exw> this page: ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsIntel ) has a column with "Supports network install?". what do they mean when they say "network install"?
[09:43] <RichEd> exw: I'd guess they mean it supports an install across the network from a sever
[09:49] <exw> RichEd: for me ( newbie ) it just seams kinda weird that the network card would play such a important part in the install... i would have guesses if the card connected to the network, you would be able able to transfer any kind of traffic, whether it be an install or just a web page
[09:50] <exw> you know... packets are packets, right?
[09:51] <RichEd> exw: I think it's that the network card is able to find the server on boot, without any local software, and then start the install ... on older cards, you'd need local software to load the network drivers first before the server would be visible
[09:51] <RichEd> that's my guess ... open to correction
[09:51] <exw> ok, thanks for your help
[03:21] <wizzy> I am confused about the root-path param in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf - how do I add a root-server ?
[03:21] <wizzy> I used to put it as "root-path 172.20.1.3:/opt/ltsp/i386"
[03:21] <wizzy> But it doesn't seem to like the host part any more
[03:23] <wizzy> Is this a regression, or is there another parameter in dhcpd.conf that I use ?
[03:23] <wizzy> Or should I ask on #ltsp ?
[03:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> wizzy, if you dont get any help here try #ltsp
[03:27] <sbalneav> Morning all
[03:28] <wizzy> sbalneav: afternoon..
[03:30] <juliux> hi sbalneav
[03:30] <sbalneav> Hello
