[12:25] a bit, yes [12:25] whats wrong with update-rc.d ? [12:25] ogra: I haven't checked yet (I was falling asleep at the kb last night) so I don't know how wwwconfig does it, but using invoke-rc.d instead of wwwconfig is causing our hang-on-removal problem. [12:26] (update-rc.d maintains a db so the system always knows what the status *should* be, if you circumvent that by running the initscript directly you produce an inconsistency here) [12:26] It's a weird problem, because postrm itself is completing and exiting, but the parent dpkg process isn't. [12:27] did you look into wwwconfig ? how it does it ? [12:27] does update-rc.d actually start/restart services, or does it just manipulate the startup/shutdown lists? [12:27] ogra: Read above. :) [12:28] Gotta run to work now; I'll start a source build with /etc/init.d/apache2 restart just for testing purposes.

[01:20] Lets squash 'em!!!! [01:20] which ones ? [01:20] i just talked about the dhcpd one with mjg59 [01:20] thats slightly tricky [01:20] but i'll look into it [01:21] bug #48212 [01:21] Launchpad bug 48212 in ltsp "ltsp's dhcpd fails after server is hibernated" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48212 [01:21] yeah, that one [01:21] Really? That one seems simple [01:21] can't we just add the dhcp3-server onto the end of the restart services tring? [01:21] no [01:21] I chatted with jo baker, it works a treat [01:21] /etc/default/acpi-support is a conffile [01:21] no? [01:22] it will need proper resume.d and suspend.d scripts [01:22] just changing that file will break upgrades [01:22] (you get a conffile prompt) [01:23] ok, so if we add a suspend.d (dhcp3 stop) and resume (dhcp3 start) will that fix it? [01:23] right [01:23] and it needs to go into the dhcpd package then ... [01:23] ok, lemme have a look where those fuiles should be put [01:23] ok, fair enough, that's simple [01:24] whicjh in turn will need to deped on the package creating suspend.d and resume.d dirs === jsgotangco [n=JSG@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu [01:24] isnt that one part of the main ubuntu metapackage, and always installed? [01:25] sure, but you cant assume the ubuntu-meta package is there ;) [01:25] k [01:25] i.e. you could install a commandline system and just add dhcpd to it [01:25] that would fail if the dirs are missing to put the files in === ogra writes a CD to see the new udeb in action (or watch it breaking :P ) [01:27] probably what, 66-dhcpd-stop.sh? [01:27] in /etc/acpi/suspend.d [01:28] hmm, not sure [01:28] (about 66) [01:28] that'd be right after the stop-services one [01:28] yeah [01:29] make it 65 as well [01:29] ok [01:29] its a service too :) [01:30] (i was actually worried that stop-services could kill something dhcpd needs, but thats up to the user anyway) [01:30] I assume I should put these two scripts in the debian dir? [01:30] and install them from there? [01:31] yeah [01:32] btw, some minor refactoring in ltsp-update-images, to fix it so that it doesn't crap out violently if you've run it on a dir that's NOT wanting an nbd image. [01:32] in my tree. [01:34] there is a lot that needs to be fixed in ltsp-update-image [01:34] i'll go through that over the weekend [01:34] all the inetd and port handling isnt right as is atm [01:49] boah [01:49] bug 70471 is bad [01:49] Launchpad bug 70471 in denemo "Printing doesn't work if xpdf binary isn't installed - denemo should use evince or depend on xpdf" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70471 [01:54] ogra: got a second to help me here? [01:55] sure [01:55] I'm looking at the dhcp3-server package [01:55] whats your prob [01:56] I'm wondering what the BEST way to add these files is, the've got some stuff in the rules file that they're just using a cp /debian/blah into the dest, but somehow I suspect that isn't right. [01:56] right [01:57] really, I want to list them in dhcp3-server.files [01:57] but where to put them so that that phase of dh_whatever finds them? [01:58] .files [01:58] right, that i've got. [01:58] but WHERE in the directory do I put them? [01:58] the startup and shutdown script [01:58] hmm [01:59] hmm [01:59] actually i wouldnt object a cp here [01:59] given that the package is already doing pretty crazy stuff [02:00] so, stick 'em in debian, and just munge the rules file to do a copy? [02:00] yeah [02:00] ok, that I can handle. [02:00] id put them into debian/acpi-scripts or so [02:00] ok, makes sense. [02:01] and then just a cp in the install-tsmp target [02:01] i suspect I'll learn more about packaging today :) [02:01] *stamp [02:06] gah, denemo is a big bad mess === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage === TelnetManta [n=benwilli@72.159.132.4] has joined #edubuntu === pitux [n=pitux@200.113.28.118] has joined #edubuntu === shriphani [n=shriphan@219.91.188.167] has joined #edubuntu [02:46] hello.

[05:03] Seems to be, from my testing [05:03] oh, ok [05:03] so lets drop mknbi :) [05:03] I've tested a couple of nbi clients. Lets hold off, until I test a few more [05:03] we have it in main now [05:04] I haven't tested the latest boot floppies from etherboot yet [05:04] so no need to hurry, its a opne line change in the deps :) [05:04] right [05:04] still lots of time.

[05:22] can you explain to me plzz ??

[05:46] some, yes [05:46] I`m a teacher in the UK, and this summer I joined the world of open source. [05:47] raynerd, cheers [05:47] :D [05:47] Only 24 myself, had microsoft forced down my throat for 14 years, and wanted to give the kids an opportunity to use linux [05:48] I have installed a dual boot with edubuntu on my work pc, but the IT staff will not allow me to install linux on the kids computers === boyam [n=boyam@208.104.11.156] has joined #edubuntu [05:48] raynerd, It takes a little getting used to for them [05:48] be patient [05:48] install on a computer for them to try and get them familiar with it [05:48] I am happy that the students could boot up an edubuntu live CD, I want to mainly use science programs and openoffice. [05:49] BUT, there is an INSTALL option that I MUST remove from the live CD before I use it with them. Is there a way to do this? [05:49] raynerd, get the it people involved ... so that they become more permissive in the end [05:49] raynerd, also try out some of the apps on windows for them to feel confortable and the have them switch back a forth [05:50] haha, i`m not even going that way! I`m a young teacher, they dont really know me and are very busy reforming the school management system. I have no chance with that line of attack! [05:50] raynerd, you can customize the CD (just remove the ubiquity package) there is a howto on the wiki [05:50] i`m new to linux myself, can u send a link] [05:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization === froud_ is now known as froud [05:55] hummm, looks hard! [05:56] do edubuntu not do a live only CD version? [05:57] no, thats the desktop installer [05:57] :( [05:57] buggr [05:57] er [05:58] raynerd fire up an ancient box which also is capable of serving you as a door-stopper. [06:00] then let's see the management's reply. [06:01] management or the it staff whoever is the nutter. [06:02] raynerd, if the machines are network-boot capable and you have a spare beefy machine, you could set up an ltsp server, if a kid netboots the machine it will iuse linux over the net then [06:02] if it boots locally it will use whatever is installed in disk [06:48] Bug #36884 [06:48] Launchpad bug 36884 in kdeedu "Can't type accented vowels" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/36884 [06:49] yeah, just got a mail from that [06:49] so did i [06:49] obviously not fior us [06:50] yep [07:05] ogra: Bug #127294 looks kind of icky. [07:05] Launchpad bug 127294 in gpaint "Gpaint crashes when draggin toolbox" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/127294 [07:05] well, we coud drop gpaint ... [07:05] ogra: btw, can you sync and push new ltspfs? [07:05] will do [07:06] sync from upstream [07:06] drop gpaint? nah. Kids'll use it [07:06] no [07:06] thats tuxpaint [07:07] gpaint is really the gnu version of paint [07:07] They'll use both. Kids in junior or senior high aren't going to want to use tuxpaint :) [07:08] had you bumped the version ? [07:08] (ltspfs) [07:09] we'll need to switch to UUID at some point btw ... [07:10] for which? [07:10] ltspfs/d [07:10] Umm, I did in the -packaging branch [07:10] but not in the source. [07:10] upstream version ? [07:10] yeah [07:10] or only ubuntu [07:10] meh, k [07:10] ltspfs-upstream [07:10] no only ubuntu. [07:11] yes, thats where i'm in [07:11] I didn't bump upstream [07:11] just ignore my packaging [07:11] oh my, that last commit is a beast === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu [07:11] well, I basically merged all the work that was going on in -nodm back into upstream. [07:11] right [07:12] i should have merged earlier ... === froud_ [n=sean@dsl-242-191-75.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu === froud_ is now known as froud [07:27] As one of you already installed an Edubuntu server on AMD Athlon 64 X2 (4000+ in my case), can it easily handle 8 running openoffice (ram will be 2GB) [07:28] it should, yes [07:29] previous serv was Celeron 1.8Ghz and was almost impossible to use as soon as you had 4-5 running openoffice [07:30] ogra: I'll try an italc install on this network tomorrow [07:30] ah, cool [07:30] ogra: as they are using italc instead of vision6 on Windows as well [07:30] ogra: that way they have the same tool for Windows and Linux [07:30] feedback would be appreciated [07:30] i'm pondering italc as TCM replacement for gutsy+1 [07:30] even though its qt and adds extra stuff to the CD [07:31] yes that's what I'd like to see if italc can't work properly with thin clients I'll spend some time working on my reworked version of TCM [07:31] but I wouldn't like to work on something that already exists and is working [07:32] and same management tool on Windows+Linux will make the switch easier [07:33] yeah [07:33] italc is pretty widespread [07:33] i find its UI horrible though, makes me want to kill kittens :P [07:33] and the client is easy to manupilate [07:34] indeed, a simple killall and it's gone [07:35] we'll also have some problem with functions like shutdown/restart [07:36] power on is OK as it's using the WOL and we can manually specify the mac address, shutdown and restart are the problem as we'd need to send them to the client and not the server [07:36] but if the other functionalies work that'd already be wonderful [07:36] (I had some problem testing with gutsy packages yesterday, I built a new one for Feisty from current upstream source and it seems to work even between Linux and Windows) [07:38] ogra: oh, and I've been invited to UDS-Boston so I should be there to discuss those things :) [07:39] i know :) [07:39] looking forward to that [07:41] ogra: Ah, looks like that gpaint bug was fixed in Gutsy by a new upstream release [07:41] I'll commient [07:42] yay :) [07:42] lets see if ltspfs builds for me now in the new package :) [07:43] btw what do i introduce myself as to the school folks ? [07:43] edubuntu ambassador ? === ogra always says "hi, i'm oli" :) [07:44] What, you've been here a couple of days, and already you're our ambassador? :) [07:44] shriphani, sure, if you feel like [07:44] heh. [07:45] If that server works fine for a whole classroom, I'm pretty sure they'll want some others, it only cost me 250 for Motherboard+CPU+2GB kingston the other pieces have been taken on old computers [07:45] I like big names and tags. I then get attention. I am shriphani would get me lesser attention than an ant in a 60 floors building. [07:45] ogra: ok, gpaint's solved by upstream. What else is bugging you? [07:47] shriphani: bit of advice: don't come on too strong. "I am shriphani" is a true statement, and one you can back up. Slow and steady wins the race. [07:47] sbalneav, not sure. looking [07:47] sbalneav: ok. [07:49] sbalneav, im not really seeing anything urgent it seems by clicking through the packages [07:49] Any bugs we should address in TCM? [07:50] hmm [07:50] whats happening with my ltspfs build here [07:51] oh [07:51] heh === ogra wonders why he never saw that binary-indep is called during package build here [07:51] what a nonsense === ogra comments out the make call in that ... [07:55] Did I put something bad? [07:55] sbalneav, i dont see TCM in our packagelist ... [07:55] no no, that was my fault :) [07:55] It isn't [07:55] it just looks ugly in the build logs :) nothing that does any harm [07:57] ogra: If I write an oversized ISO on a DVD there will be no problem right ? [07:57] yep [07:57] ogra: I'd like to try the latest edubuntu server i386 on that new server [07:57] i'm just running such an install upstairs :) [07:58] ok, so let's find a USB hdd :) [07:58] no guarantee that works though [07:58] the new udeb didnt see and "in installer" testing yet [07:58] it might heavily fail (very likely) [07:59] yeah, 1% CPU use running OpenOffice on a feisty livecd, looks good [08:04] ltspfs_0.4.3-0ubuntu8_source.changes rejected [08:04] :(( [08:04] meh [08:05] No love? === Baby [n=miry@195.37.62.208] has joined #edubuntu [08:05] not really, no [08:05] i'll tr ya differnt way [08:05] *try a [08:05] (the ugly one) [08:07] *shudder* thats a 6000 lines patch [08:10] oh sigh [08:12] cat we release without localdev support :P === charlie_21 [n=charlie@115.sub-75-195-177.myvzw.com] has joined #edubuntu [08:13] hi all [08:14] ogra: err, no :) [08:14] What's the issue? Anything I can do? [08:15] sbalneav, my fear of buerocracy ... no issues beyond ... but i think we'll need an UVF exception for that i just dont feel like making the diff from -ubuntu7 to -ubuntu8 6600 lines big [08:16] (if i keep the upstream version (... orig.tar.gz) all changes have to go into the diff.gz) [08:17] Oh, crap, was it all the reformatting I did? [08:18] That something I can plead for? [08:18] Who should I ping? [08:18] no, it was me being late with even looking at it [08:19] nobody [08:19] my job [08:19] i just need to do a sane package now [08:19] tell me a version number my. upstream :) [08:19] *mr. [08:19] 0.5 ? [08:20] since it changes a lot and adds security [08:21] right, lets go to .5 [08:24] Hmm. Two of my working edubuntu servers are no longer working. /scripts/nfs-premount runs ("Done."), and then (after a while, of course), "connect: Connection timed out" [08:24] I'm just getting started on this one, but if anybody knows the answer I won't be annoyed if they type it in here. :) [08:32] ogra, I'm going to go upstairs for a bit of lunch. 7.5 hours deserves a break, eh? [08:32] You'll be here for a bit? [08:33] not long anymore, as soon as i filed the UVFe i'll fade out i think [08:33] 9pm here [08:33] well 8:30 [08:34] Who's a good guy who I can bug if I need any more bugs fixed? [08:34] how long till the ltspfs package gets pushed, btw? [08:34] tomorrow? [08:34] no idea, we'll need the UVFe granted [08:35] hi sbalneav [08:35] i'll prepare all paperwork now [08:35] hello ogra [08:35] sbalneav: LTSP has bugs!? [08:35] sbalneav, well i'D have said laser, but he's not here :/ i'll just keep my lappie here [08:36] highvoltage: :) [08:36] We've squashed 4 bugs so far, none of them ltsp related. [08:36] haven't even got started with ltsp bugs :) [08:43] Stupid changed IP address of the server stupid... :) [08:44] It's more complicated than that, but all I had to do was fix the custom PXE configuration. [08:44] argh, CD filed verfication ... === effie_jayx [n=valles@ubuntu/member/effie-jayx] has joined #edubuntu [08:47] http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=98 === vistakiller [n=spiros@ppp144-56.adsl.forthnet.gr] has left #edubuntu [] === highvolt1ge [n=highvolt@dsl-241-175-135.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu === bdoin [n=coudoin@home.gcompris.net] has joined #edubuntu === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #edubuntu [09:38] hi all === tck [n=tck@212.2.167.66] has joined #edubuntu [09:38] LaserJock, !!!

[09:40] hehe, a little [09:40] ogra: see my email on .iso sizes? [09:40] yes [09:40] not much i can do atm [09:40] sure, I know [09:40] just wondered if you had any ideas [09:40] i have to do test installs anyway, the udeb is untested yet [09:41] (just running one test upstairs (on a USB 1.1 disk since 4h) ) [09:42] I been squashin' bugs since 6AM [09:42] crazy guy :) === ogra hugs sbalneav [09:43] Hey, I don't mint the hugs, but stop pinching my *ss :) [09:43] mind [09:44] lol [09:44] lol === sbalneav gets punchy [09:45] ogra: chroot building failed inside the installer (mkfifo not found) [09:45] ARGH [09:45] thats the last thing i expected to be missing === ogra looks forward to a funn weekend with d-i === ogra goes upstairs if he can already confirm that [09:47] hmm, no, looks like it will take until tomorrow [09:48] only 50% of the desktop packages installed yet [09:48] sbalneav: how hard would it be to give everyone rwx perms on local devices, so we don't need to add people to the fuse group? [09:48] stgraber, can you send me the syslog ? [09:48] eww [09:48] umm [09:49] moquist, wont work [09:49] you cant mount without being in the fuse group [09:49] I think distro team would have kittens [09:49] heh, yeah [09:49] Oh, I don't mean for the whole project. [09:49] that as well [09:49] You can do it YOURSELF if you want [09:49] I meant for us, here. Because we don't care. :) [09:49] oh, that's easy [09:49] is it ? [09:49] how is moodle coming, btw ? :-) [09:49] sbalneav, i dont even think thats possible [09:50] insert/change the udev rule for /dev/fuse, to set perms 666, and chmod 755 fusermount [09:50] ogra: sure it is, I've done it. [09:50] LaserJock: OK; ditching invoke-rc.d let it finish. (I know, that's weird.) [09:50] sbalneav: Thx. The udev rules is what I was hoping your answer would be. :-) [09:50] sbalneav, still [09:50] unless something's changed, fuse's security was just through the groups perm [09:50] moquist: what did you replace it with? [09:50] sbalneav, ogra: is there any possibility this *could* be built in as a config option? (With lots of appropriate warnings, etc.) [09:51] LaserJock: Er, wwwconfig. Just for testing. ;) [09:51] heh [09:51] moquist, over my dead body :) [09:51] LaserJock: I know I need to replace it with update-rc.d; ogra clued me on that this morning. [09:51] It would have to be a libfuse + udev change. [09:51] ickypoo [09:51] sbalneav, the mount will be owned by the user in any case [09:51] ogra: OK, sounds like something I won't keep pursuing, then. :-) [09:51] moquist: ah, sweet [09:52] moquist, a) i dont belive its doable with the structure we have ... b) you break the whole system security through what sbalneav suggested above [09:52] ogra: http://www.stgraber.org/download/edu-syslog [09:52] yeah, it's a bad bad thing. [09:53] stgraber, hmm, thanks [09:54] well, I have to be off. More meetings to attend [09:54] but keep it up and crush those bugs!!! [09:55] looking at it I could have cut it to the last 10 lines :) [09:55] heh [09:55] yeas [09:55] hmm, i have no idea how to get mkfifo in the d-i environment === froud_ [n=sean@dsl-242-191-75.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [09:56] ogra: I have something weird now, it doesn't find fdisk either, but I'm pretty sure it did at the beginning of the install [09:56] (it can't install grub because it can't find fdisk) === froud_ is now known as froud [09:57] ok [09:57] sbalneav, ogra: how is the "whole system security" broken through sbalneav's suggestion? [09:58] using mkfifo is bad in the installer === ogra tatoos on forehead: "i want to use mknod if i work in d-i" [09:58] ogra: I'll restart an install and check if mkfifo is present at partitioning time (as I know fdisk was at this stage and wasn't at the end of the install) [09:58] moquist, you can loop mount stuff rw through fuse for example [09:59] stgraber, mkfifo is to high level, i need to change to mknod [09:59] ogra: can you loop mount the NFS root rw? [09:59] there wont be a udeb containing the mkfifobinary [09:59] no...it's not exported rw. [09:59] right [10:00] i'm talking about local dirs :) [10:00] ogra: We don't have a single TC in our district that has local devices that pose any security risk. [10:00] right, feel free to do it for your setup [10:00] but you'll never see me dropping all permissions on /dev/fuse [10:01] not even with an option thats called --feel-free-to-shoot-yourself-in-both-foots-with-bazooka [10:01] *feet .. bah [10:02] any reason of why we don't have fdisk ?? :) [10:02] because we use partman ? [10:02] well, grub use it [10:03] so we can't install grub :) [10:03] oh [10:03] well, you cant have everything :) [10:03] uhm, a boot loader would be great though :) [10:04] might be caused by the oversizedness ... [10:04] is there an fdisk udeb ? [10:04] indeed, I'm looking for the udeb [10:04] fdisk is in util-linux [10:05] (look in the menu ... "load additional installer components" or so [10:05] ) [10:05] ogra: Understood. But it's quite a pain to maintain the fuse groups, to be honest. It would be good if there were an easy way to say "give everyone access to local devices"...though I guess that's *exactly* what you're not wanting. [10:05] Maybe we could say "give everyone access to any local device with a name that matches one of these patterns" [10:06] ogra: anything need to be done for edubuntu-desktop-kde? [10:06] moquist, well, it would be cool to have a feature to add a selection of users to a group for sure, thats independent from fuse i guess [10:07] nixternal, not atm i guess ... i never installed it :) [10:07] i am going to get a test system up and running this weekend [10:07] lb [10:07] nixternal, feel free to add more stuff to it if you like [10:07] oops [10:07] ogra: load additional didn't work, I just downloaded the udeb and installed by hand [10:08] that did work ? [10:08] yes [10:08] I now have fdisk [10:08] sbalneav, ogra: thx [10:08] OK..any changes I make I will provide you with a debdiff..I am only a little MOTU right now :) [10:09] moquist, imho that should be a feature in gnome-useradmin [10:10] so you can select a set of users (or all of them) and right click ... add to group [10:10] breaking the security concept for a usability issue isnt the right way :) [10:12] is the UVF exception posted anywhere? [10:12] its a bug [10:12] you should have the mail for it [10:13] Hmm, no I don't! [10:13] youre no bug contact for your own package ?

[10:19] the UVFe ? [10:19] yeah :) [10:19] ubuntu-release [10:19] everyone in the team can approve [10:20] Who all's in there? [10:20] or is that a channel? [10:20] its a team [10:20] its subscribed to the bug [10:20] click on the team name in the left menu [10:21] ogra: Yeah, you're right. [10:24] ogra: I've manually installed mkfifo so I can see if something else doesn't work with the new udeb [10:24] stgraber, cool, thanks [10:24] that saves me one step :) === moquist boots a TC over an SSH tunnel [10:35] It's kinda slow, going encrypted over the Internet. ;) [10:36] ogra: a little remaining issue : unable to rename /var/log/ltsp-build-client.log no such file or directory [10:36] oh [10:36] did you have a proper progressbar ? [10:37] moquist, http://blog.daniel-baumann.ch/2007/09/07#20070907_debian-live-web-boot [10:37] nope, 0% during the whole chroot install [10:37] then it didnt work at all [10:37] now it's doing the mksquashfs and still no progress bar [10:38] i was suspecting that [10:38] in-target eats the output and forwards it to syslog [10:38] hmm, looks like the mksquashfs part finish by an infinite loop ... [10:38] is there progress on console4 ? [10:39] yes, its inifinite ... [10:39] since it waits for the output of mksquashfs [10:39] ogra: cool [10:41] ogra: ok, I killed the post-install script and copied the syslog to /target so you can have a look if you want [10:42] that would be nice [10:42] there should actually be no output at all in it from the client building === ogra_ [n=ogra@p548AF19F.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:05] ogra: oh, it seems that I have my usual problem, connecting the server to my LAN (only one NIC), then configuring my DHCP to next-server to the right IP [11:06] ogra: but I get a initramfs prompt [11:06] ogra: looks like nbd-client doesn't receive the right IP or something like that [11:06] so its happening before the mount attempt ? [11:07] whats the exact error you see ? [11:10] target doesn't have /bin/init [11:13] do you have an image in /opt/ltsp/images ? [11:13] yep [11:13] an entry in /etc/inetd,conf for nbdrootd ? [11:13] s/\,/\. [11:14] yep, I can manually connect using nbd-client and mount [11:14] hmm [11:14] nbd-client 172.16.4.254 2000 /dev/nbd0 && mount -t squashfs /dev/nbd0 /rofs [11:15] ls /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.6.22-10-386/ubuntu/fs/ ?
