[02:42] my quotes currently look like this instead of " and I have to hit the key twice to get it. [02:42] um. shift+key? [02:43] no, the apostrophe is without shift+, but that broken too btw [02:43] notice the funny ? [02:44] ah [02:44] hehe [02:44] do you know what keymap you have? [02:45] no idea, nor how to fix it. === wantok isnt sure if he can help for all users [02:45] i think its a per user setting. [02:45] im on edubuntu 7.04 [02:45] I guess I chose wrong doing the initial server install [02:45] was there a keyboard setting during install? [02:46] it something system wide [02:46] yeah, it asked me to type in keys and it would guess which layout it had [02:46] bad move [02:46] I should have said no and just picked US [02:47] maybe it something in xorg === wantok fires up a terminal [02:47] is this just a terminal thing, or system wide? [02:49] system wide [02:50] monteslu: what does env| grep LANG give you? [02:50] LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [02:53] hmm, I know how to do it for an individual user [02:53] but I'm not sure how it's done system wide [02:54] it cool.

[04:26] Hey LaserJock [04:26] sbalneav: I've been waiting for you, mwuahahaha [04:26] :) [04:27] ok, so crossover cable worked [04:27] but it can't find tftp [04:27] Excellent. [04:27] I get a timeout [04:27] ok, well, first things first. [04:28] What's your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file look like, and what's the ip address of your fixed interface? [04:29] ok, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34606/ [04:29] and my eth0 is 192.168.0.1 [04:31] ok, looks fine.

[04:42] after the "option subnetmask" [04:42] in dhcpd.conf [04:42] then restart [04:42] invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server restart [04:45] nope :/ [04:46] Wierd. [04:47] Humour me. [04:47] change the ip address of the fixed interface to 192.168.0.254 [04:47] and remove the next-server line. [04:47] and restart dhcpd again [04:48] change the actual interface? not just in dhcpd.conf [04:49] yes [04:49] now, what about the gateway? [04:49] I'm wondering if something's hardcoded somewhere. [04:49] doesn't matter. [04:49] I wasn't sure what to do with the gateway [04:50] You're not going to be routing through anywhere. [05:05] trying [05:05] nope [05:06] sam thing [05:06] hmm, my other interface wouldn't be interfering would it? [05:06] what's the ip address of the other interface? [05:06] sbalneav: do you remember ogra having any problems with netbooting his Classmate? [05:06] No [05:06] and I've netbooted mine. [05:06] they should work fine. [05:07] my other interface is on 192.168.1. [05:07] If it's on .1, that should be fine. [05:08] anything in /var/log/daemon.log, or messages? [05:10] in messages ther's a lot of eth0: link down [05:10] eth0: link up [05:10] etc. [05:10] ohhhhhhhh!!!! [05:10] I'm an idiot!!!

[05:12] On windows, you'dve just got a bluescreen, and that's that. [05:13] yep, exactly [05:13] daemon.log told me exactly what the problem was [05:13] Man, I've done a TON of updates today. [05:13] Fixed the security problem in ltspfs [05:13] simplified a ton of code. [05:13] cleaned up jetpipe some more [05:14] eliminated about 5 crufty files out of the tree [05:14] I is MOTORING.

[05:33] sbalneav: ^^ [05:34] Which, a character console on the terminal? [05:34] alt-f1 you mean? [05:34] alt-f1 [05:35] That would be on the client, and there's no logins defined there.

[09:20] I don't have an olpc to specifically compare [09:21] but I imagine one of the big things is that the classmate runs a regular OS [09:21] so Windows XP, Madriva-derived, SUSE-derive, and Ubuntu/Edubuntu [09:22] I had the chance to try a olpc for 10 minutes [09:24] has the classmate a touchscreen?

[09:48] because I have no audiodevice on my ltsp-server and flash crashes sometimes firefox [09:49] so I think a dummy audio device would solve the problem === pawan1234 [i=IceChat7@59.95.79.188] has joined #edubuntu [10:00] hi === pawan1234 is now known as pawan [10:00] hi [10:01] how to install edubuntu [10:01] pawan [10:01] yes [10:01] just insert the CD and boot [10:01] cant it be used as a live cd [10:01] decide if you want to dual boot (keep old partition) or complete install === ananas [n=ananas-m@xdsldb043.osnanet.de] has joined #edubuntu [10:02] pawan ... you'll need to check that ... what CD version do you have [10:02] i have edubuntu 7.04 for pc and server [10:03] i have currently installed ubuntu windows xp and windows 2008 server on my pc [10:03] now i am going to install edubuntu [10:06] hello [10:07] what type of partition to use for edubuntu === encompass [n=encompas@dsl-hvkgw1-fe6ffa00-119.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #edubuntu [10:11] pawan, what to you mean with "type"?

[10:21] just to have a look at some new features [10:21] is your ubuntu also feisty?

[01:19] (the one from the FAQ page) [01:20] no [01:20] from which? [01:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ [01:21] or ... https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuFAQ as you like [01:22] wow, every week I find new edubuntu docs [01:22] yeah ... they are pretty badly organized [01:22] but there is work going on constantly, so eventually we'll have them all in the edubuntu handbook === freeflying [n=freeflyi@123.116.102.66] has joined #edubuntu [01:28] ogra, this would be great [01:34] ogra, I only have to install this deb?

[01:36] but note that package isnt supported and not packaged very well either [01:38] ok [01:38] thx [01:42] ogra, and do you know if it is possible to add the nxclient-screen script?

[02:27] nosrednaekim, in the edubuntu meeting in #ubuntu-meeting atm [02:27] ogra: ok.... when is that finished?I have to talk to you. [02:28] just talk then but dont ecxpect immediate answers :) [02:30] ogra: ah ok :) I asked riddell about his offer to mentor someone porting the Thin Client Manager to Qt, and he said to talk to you. Not neccesarily for mentorship, but for how it is coming along I guess. [02:31] ah, well, the code is a mess, i'm just starting to try to get it sorted so it works again in gutsy ... but pete did at least do a proper frontend/backend split so adding a QT gui instead of thin-client-manager-gnome shouldnt be problematic [02:34] ogra: So there are a lot of problems with the backend, but making a QT4 frontend shouldn't affect that? [02:35] well, lots of probs is to much ... it used to work and needs adjustments for the new ldm ... [02:35] the code is in very bad shape thats the prob ... [02:35] i'm missing the spare week to go through it and clean it up from the ground up [02:36] So would now be the best time to write a frontend, or should I wait till you have that spare week? [02:37] but if you use the communication layers the studentcontrolpanel.py module provides you should be fine for frontend stuff [02:37] well, you should wait until you see the next upload (saying that i fixed userlist polling) [02:37] ok, thats great. [02:37] without that being fixed you woont get the basic list of users to work with in your gui+ === humbolto [n=elias@217.19.46.10] has joined #edubuntu [02:43] alrighty...

[02:45] ogra: ^^ [02:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall [02:48] or use the edubuntu server Cd on a system with two NICs, it will set up everything automativcally [02:49] ogra: :( I don't have a system with two NICs. In fact, I don't have any computer that I could try it on if it requires a dedicated server. [02:49] it doesnt [02:49] its just esier than manually setting it up [02:50] ogra: looks like I'm manually setting it up. Thanks. === sbalneav [n=sbalneav@mail.legalaid.mb.ca] has joined #edubuntu [03:05] Morning all [03:05] hi sbalneav :) [03:06] Hey there RichEd! [03:08] got a weird TC auth/session/login problem. [03:08] hi moquist ... [03:08] I've got two servers (they belong to a client) and one allows TC logins, the other does not [03:08] RichEd: hey [03:08] RichEd: good news. we're going Edubuntu across the board. :) :) :) :-D [03:08] ogra asked if you had any status answers on moodle for gutsy ? [03:09] moquist: \o/ [03:09] RichEd: mysql is going, need to add postgresql; I've heard from pitti on that and just need to sit down to figure it out/do it [03:09] I've got a package in REVU [03:09] (since the server came back up) [03:09] moquist, re-uploaded ? [03:09] I don't think anybody's REVUed it yet, though... [03:09] ogra: yes, re-uploaded (yesterday, once I realized REVU was back) [03:10] cool ! [03:10] anyhow, here are two LDM logs, where one works and one doesn't. if somebody could take a glance at it I'd appreciate any advice: [03:10] http://rafb.net/p/DwFFJD33.html [03:10] http://rafb.net/p/55RGWo71.html [03:10] I cranked the ldm ssh logging up with -vvv [03:11] the user(s) I'm testing work fine on the server [03:12] What happens on login? [03:12] /var/log/auth.log looks normal on both servers (i.e., pam_winbind fails ('cuz I'm not testing a Winders(TM) user) and then ssh auth succeeds) [03:12] sbalneav: can you be more specific? [03:12] teh only intresting log is ~/.xsession-errors [03:13] on the TC I see the spinning wheel and then X restarts [03:13] ogra: Oh... I'll grab that, then. :p === moquist thought ldm.log was pretty interesting... [03:13] (in general) [03:13] Like, does the greeter come up at all, or do they log in and it restarts, etc. [03:13] well thats about the ssh probs ... usually you will have session probs oif one login works and the oither doesnt [03:14] sbalneav: ah. yep, the greeter looks fine, I enter un/pw, [the server auth.log shows that authentication succeeded, ldm.log on the client shows that we've sent the ssh command, ldm.log shows that the server has closed the connection] , then X restarts and I get a fresh greeter [03:14] ogra: right. makes sense. [03:14] yeah, it's something on the server side. [03:15] so the .xsession-errors file I want lives server side? === moquist checks [03:15] right [03:15] in the users home === moquist nods [03:17] No profile for user 'moquist' found === moquist scratches head [03:17] not sure that's the problem [03:17] I'll have to log back out of this TC to check [03:17] moquist, that's what happened to me until I put the ssh keys from the second edubuntu server onto the server that the client was booting from... but it's probably something totally different :) [03:18] yeah, in my scenario I've stopped dhcp on the other server so I know the TC has the right host keys [03:18] i did the same [03:18] only one dhcp server, but two ldm servers [03:18] well, I meant during testing. [03:18] oh, right [03:18] long term I'll have two dhcp servers [03:19] so we'll have to copy the ssh keys over [03:19] moquist, uninstall sabayon [03:20] or add the user to a profile, then it will work [03:20] thats bug 38410 btw [03:26] ogra: awesome. thanks.

I read on the restricted formats page that it's not supported. Any workaround? [04:27] Riddell, hmm, we dont use it, is that the new ubuntu default ? [04:27] sonjag, ask adobe to provide shockwave for linix :) [04:28] *linux [04:28] there is no linux version at all ... [04:28] So they have flash but not shockwave? Bummer! [04:29] ogra: dunno, you'd have to ask dholbach, I'll leave it out [04:30] Riddell, ok ... i assume it wouldnt do any harm beyond eating CD space ... we use gartoon anyway so its not important to have for edubuntu === JohanSalim [n=guest@ip84-223.cbn.net.id] has joined #edubuntu === tck [n=tck@213-202-140-94.bas502.dsl.esat.net] has joined #edubuntu === ananas [n=ananas-m@xdslbh176.osnanet.de] has joined #edubuntu === ananas_ [n=ananas-m@xdslt109.osnanet.de] has joined #edubuntu === ashkev [n=kevin@216.120.184.194] has joined #edubuntu === highvoltage [n=highvolt@dsl-244-197-227.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu === ananas [n=ananas-m@xdslcn071.osnanet.de] has joined #edubuntu === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #edubuntu [06:13] ogra: ping [06:14] LaserJock, about to leave, whats up ?

[08:19] LaserJock: ouch...no network defeats ltsp's purpose... [08:20] well, I'm not saying that's the way it always happens [08:20] but I've seen several cases where people lose their network after installing dansguardian [08:20] but I don't think there's an inherent reason why it shouldn't work [08:21] I'd think especially if you've got 2 nics and are separating LTSP network from outside internet [08:24] LaserJock, not exactly ...i saw ubuntu CE was out there so I didn't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been done [08:28] boyam: well, I can't give a resounding endorsement of CE, but I think you can turn dansguardian off after installing it === RichEd-1 [n=richard@dsl-245-166-102.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #edubuntu [08:29] LaserJock, I'll look into it and give it a go.....

[09:46] jollis: What trouble are you having? [09:46] won't login, frozen [09:47] it also takes a long time to get to the error screen [09:47] This happening for all users, or just for one? [09:48] When the user is logged out, make sure there are no processes running as that user, [09:48] and rm -rf /tmp/gconfd-user [09:48] ie, my username is sbalneav, so rm -rf /tmp/gconfd-sbalneav [09:48] I will try another user, and your suggestions and get back with you [09:53] sbalneav: so, I got ltsp working great, was able to dd the existing Windows partition over to my laptop as a backup [09:53] Cool! [09:54] sbalneav: I logged in via ldm to see what all the LTSP hubbub is all about [09:54] it's quite amazing [09:54] only thing is that hit pegs my laptops CPU [09:54] and one time it overheated it and it shutdown [09:54] That's due to the ssh encryption of everything over the wire. [09:54] for just 1 client should it be *that* CPU intesive? [09:55] Shouldn't. I'd check your laptop. It'll be dust-clogged somehow. [09:55] I run 40 clients off of one server. this one: [09:55] I've recently dusted it out [09:56] I does run hot, especially in this weather [09:56] but like literally, the CPU was pegged [09:56] from the moment I logged in to LDM [09:56] sputnik: 1.46 [09:56] hm [09:56] odd. [09:56] I mean, it was worse than compiling from source or something like that [09:57] Got anything whacky animated on your desktop, or were you also logged in on the laptop as the same user? [09:57] I was logged in as the same user on the laptop [09:57] ahhh [09:57] yeah. [09:57] Gnome doesn't like more than one person logged in at a time. [09:57] A problem we need to get gnome to fix, exentually. === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu [09:59] sbalneav: so that'll account for the CPU usage? [10:00] yeah, gconf gets all whacky, starts sucking air. [10:00] ok [10:00] I was going to create a separate user for it anyway, just thought I'd give it a go while I was there [10:04] sbalneav: I was actually surprised how fast bootup and login is [10:04] I was expecting a long wait from all horror stories you guys had at Sevilla ;-) [10:04] Well, there's kindof a line you cross at about 700 mhz [10:05] I can't imagine how fast the new ltsp is going to be [10:05] I see [10:05] if you're BELOW 700 mhz, things start getting exponentially slower everytime you drop 100 mhz [10:05] if you're above 700mhz, things don't get much faster, really. [10:05] what speed is the average TC on the market today? [10:06] The problem is: ltsp caters to a LOT of older slower hardware. [10:06] sure [10:06] Well, in the $300 range, it's about 650-700 megs, so they're ok [10:08] that's a pretty penny if you've got to do a whole lab [10:08] I suppose that's why you see a lot of PIIs and PIIIs used [10:16] Well, the box jammcq had was like a $100 box. [10:16] The problem with those is: they're like 250 mhz. === ananas_ [n=ananas-m@xdsldc174.osnanet.de] has joined #edubuntu [10:16] So they were painful. [10:17] heh, makes this CMPC look like a very cheap TC [10:18] But now, mine boots in under 90 seconds. With ltsp 4.2, they booted in 42 seconds, but ltsp 4.2 was so finely tuned, and we'll never get quite that level of ability to tweak startup scripts in ltsp5. But, in my view, 90 seconds isn't that long, and a perfectly acceptible wait. [10:19] Especially since, once it's booted, it's just as fast, performance wise, as ltsp4.2 [10:19] sure === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #edubuntu === lns [n=lns@75.61.204.105] has joined #edubuntu === tck [n=tck@213-202-140-94.bas502.dsl.esat.net] has joined #edubuntu === froud [n=sean@dsl-242-172-114.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #edubuntu === ananas| [n=ananas-m@xdslcg118.osnanet.de] has joined #edubuntu [11:07] has anyone encountered a NFS over TCP not available issue? === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu [11:21] ogra: I don't get how https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/edubuntu-meta/+bug/48402 is an Edubuntu bug?
