[04:07] <jvess> I'm having trouble booting ltsp clients, is anyone experienced with that?
[12:03] <highvoltage> ogra: I've changed the mailing list rules to get rid of spam instead of keeping it for approval, spamassassin is quite acurate, I don't think we'll have false-positives
[12:03] <highvoltage> ogra: the lists should be a bit more managable now, and there should be less admin requests
[12:21] <test___> hi
[12:21] <test___> help me plz
[12:22] <highvoltage> test___: feel free to ask if you ned help with something
[12:22] <test___> http://www.vguard.net/E_download_vgcard.htm <---- this system on windows based how to run on edubuntu?
[12:23] <test___> this system use dll on windows system32 /. dll and mplayer - but how do run dll or other components on edubuntu?
[12:24] <highvoltage> test___: you might be able to run it under wine, but Windows software is not supported under edubuntu
[12:26] <test___> ok thank?
[13:25] <fja> i've just installed edubuntu 7.10 and the clients (with i810 video) boot up and starts x. But when a user logout clients can not start X/gdm again. I've got the following error msg: [drm:i810_wait_ring] *ERROR* lockp [drm:i810_wait_ring] *ERROR* space: 65520 wanted 65528
[13:26] <fja> are there known fixes/workarounds to this problem?
[13:27] <fja> earlier we ran debian and ltsp4.2 and it worked great except sound...
[13:30] <fja> i've tried X_VIDEORAM in lts.conf and XSERVER both auto and i810
[13:31] <fja> different X_MODES...
[13:31] <popey> use intel video instead of i810
[13:35] <fja> i've got same error messages with XSERVER = intel
[14:21] <cberlo> Hi folks.  I'm having a problem upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy.  I can't seem to rebuild my client chroot.  Can anyone help with this?
[14:26] <cberlo> David, how's the lab?
[15:24] <bddebian> Heya
[18:34] <stgraber> hi ogra
[18:35] <stgraber> I contacted iTalc's upstream, he told me that the VNC crash is a known problem with QT and will be fixed in .4 which will be released "really soon"
[18:35] <stgraber> so I'm just waiting for this one to be out, then update my patches and we should have something working :)
[18:40] <Goosemoose> can anyone tell me why my ubuntu machine can ping others on the domain using 'ping computer' but not 'ping computer.domain.local' ?
[18:53] <ogra> stgraber, yay!
[19:36] <musashi1> can anyone point me to a good how to for setting up things like the firefox home page, available apps and such for clients? I'm not finding anything on the edubuntu wiki (course i may not be searching well either).
[19:43] <johnny_> howdy edubuntu peeps
[19:43] <johnny_> i upgraded my ubuntu from feisty to gutsy, and for some reason they aren't keeping their hostnames anymore
[19:44] <johnny_> previously it didn't work either, but i got around it by chmod 000 /etc/hostname in the chroot
[19:45] <stgraber> is it taking the hostname from the DHCP server ?
[19:45] <johnny_> pretty sure
[19:45] <johnny_> lemme do one last verify
[19:45] <johnny_> brb
[19:46] <stgraber> ok, so you can probably fix that by changing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[19:53] <johnny_> it's getting the IP assigned in /etc/hosts
[19:55] <johnny_> but i don't see the IP
[19:55] <johnny_> i can ping them
[19:55] <johnny_> by name
[19:55] <johnny_> but they don't come up with the right name :)
[19:56] <scrapbunny> is there any way to make the fonts look better on thin clients?
[19:56] <johnny_> did you mean on the clients? or the host stgraber /
[19:57] <scrapbunny> both
[19:57] <johnny_> they both have send host-name "<hostname>";
[20:18] <johnny_> ok screw this.. i'm chattr +i /etc/hostnamet
[20:18] <johnny_>  /etc/hostname  in the chroot
[20:26] <johnny_> ok next issue
[20:26] <johnny_> audio
[20:27] <johnny_> for some reason it allows one to change the server's volume
[20:55] <pvangundy> hey all
[21:07] <musashi1> can anyone point me to a good how to for setting up things like the firefox home page, available apps and such for clients? I'm not finding anything on the edubuntu wiki (course i may not be searching well either).
[21:41] <johnny_> musashi1, try something like pessulus and sabayon
[21:43] <musashi1> johnny_: not sure i understand.
[21:45] <johnny_> you can use that set all sorts of defaults
[22:03] <dtrask> hey edubuntu folks!  Check my latest blog post about the kids reaction to the CMPC today!  Complete with pics   http://dtrask.wordpress.com
[22:04] <dtrask> ogra_cmpc: figured you might like to see the pics

[22:37] <johnny_> is there a way to get unpartitioned memory sticks to work?
[22:37] <johnny_> because that's somewhat of a deal breaker around here, plus does that affect cdrom drives?
[22:38] <Burgundavia> johnny_: umm, can you buy unpartitioned memory sticks?
[22:38] <Burgundavia> by default, they should be fat32
[22:38] <johnny_> i thought the description meant single partitioned memory sticks
[22:39] <johnny_> it's not very clear
[22:39] <johnny_> in the DebugLocalDevices wiki page
[22:39] <johnny_> so.. ok then issue is elsewhere
[22:39] <Burgundavia> oh, that
[22:39] <Burgundavia> hmm
[22:40] <johnny_> it uses the word mounted
[22:40] <Burgundavia> right
[22:40] <johnny_> and a drive without a filesystem wouldn't get mounted in any case
[22:40] <Burgundavia> yep
[22:41] <Burgundavia> that isn't the clearest
[22:42] <johnny_> i'm trying to debug why none of the usb drives are working  getting odd errors about /tmp i think
[22:42] <johnny_> somebody jumped on that machine while i walked away
[22:42] <johnny_> :(
[22:42] <Burgundavia> do the drives work in a standard ubuntu machine or on the server?
[22:43] <johnny_> we have a total of 4 terminals
[22:43] <johnny_> two of them still have feisty installs
[22:43] <johnny_> ie: still have a hard drive
[22:43] <johnny_> and it gets detected on that
[22:44] <johnny_> and i checked the dmesg on the client and the drive does get detected
[22:44] <johnny_> it just doesn't get mounted
[22:44] <johnny_> plus, a disc in the server cdrom drive is showing up on the clients
[22:44] <johnny_> and the volume control on the client affects the servers
[22:45] <Burgundavia> hmm, I don't know enough about the LTSP moving bits to tell you
[22:45] <Burgundavia> but as a simple test, make certain that any drives work under non-LTSP
[22:45] <johnny_> yes
[22:45] <johnny_> they do
[22:45] <johnny_> or rather.. this one doe
[22:45] <johnny_> does*
