| corrosione | i boot to the ubuntu cd and it gives me errors...it then proceeds to load to the cd...once there i cant make out the text...but i click install anyway..next, next, next, starting up partioner...i cant make out the text except for resize partition...but i have another os on my hd and i have two partions..is there a safe way to tell it to install on the partition with no os..without being able to read the text | 02:33 |
| corrosione | can anyone help me with this | 02:33 |
| kgoetz | i woudnt install on an unreadable system. | 02:34 |
| corrosione | why would it be unreadable | 02:34 |
| ogra | there are different VGA options in the boot menu of the CD, try another one | 02:34 |
| johnny | hmm.. no scott today.. | 02:34 |
| corrosione | well thing is | 02:34 |
| * johnny wonders what else to try | 02:34 | |
| corrosione | how do i chose them this is my first time doing a live install like this | 02:35 |
| corrosione | i have only messed with linux a few times..im trying to learn it.. | 02:35 |
| corrosione | i mean you say chose other vga option like it gives me a choice | 02:36 |
| corrosione | meaning it asks me..does it have display settings like windows? | 02:36 |
| corrosione | or is it a command line thing | 02:36 |
| ogra | oh, you are using the ubuntu liveCd ... | 02:37 |
| ogra | there is an option in the menu | 02:37 |
| corrosione | k ill retry it | 02:37 |
| ogra | sytem-preferences->screen resolution or so ... | 02:37 |
| corrosione | o and by the way | 02:37 |
| corrosione | if it is giving me errors at boot | 02:38 |
| ogra | you can adjust it on the runing desktop | 02:38 |
| corrosione | before getting to cd | 02:38 |
| corrosione | i am assuming that is bad | 02:38 |
| ogra | no idea | 02:38 |
| corrosione | k thx | 02:38 |
| ogra | you would have to show the errors | 02:38 |
| corrosione | doesnt give me that long | 02:38 |
| corrosione | can you do screen shot from boot? | 02:38 |
| corrosione | £aughing Out £oud | 02:38 |
| ogra | if you install in a virtual machine you can .. but if there is really an error that will be depending on your HW so virtual machines wont help ... you can take photos though | 02:39 |
| ogra | anyway, off to bed | 02:40 |

| tsurc | on a default edubuntu gutsy install what ports need to be open from the client to the server. just ssh? | 09:47 |
| tsurc | reason i ask is because I'm working on installing squid dansguardian transparent proxy on the server, I have it working but my iptable rule that forwards all users to the proxy seams to prevent anyone logging in | 09:49 |

| effie_jayx | RichEd, ping | 12:20 |
| RichEd | hi effie_jayx | 12:20 |
| effie_jayx | RichEd, hey :D. any news ? | 12:21 |
| RichEd | effie_jayx: I'll be contacting Intel today ... will keep you in the loop | 12:21 |
| effie_jayx | RichEd, great... I met with the teaching giving feedback | 12:21 |
| effie_jayx | we are working into new features. | 12:22 |
| effie_jayx | like having the school rules somewhere in the app | 12:22 |
| effie_jayx | and even lab rules | 12:22 |
| effie_jayx | and a comprehensive list od deadlines for the schoolyear | 12:22 |
| RichEd | and ? great ... if you could show that "given a test device, you could get them to actively test and comment and make suggestions for improvement" that would be a winning argument in my opinion | 12:22 |
| effie_jayx | RichEd, in my request? | 12:23 |
| RichEd | do you have that "argument" in the wiki pages yet ? i'll do a final read ... and comment if i think you need to make any changes | 12:24 |
| rafaelcardoso | to skype work, server must have a sound card? | 12:26 |
| Bauer | sound card in the client should be enough.. sound works nice here | 12:27 |
| rafaelcardoso | here too but skype fails | 12:33 |
| rafaelcardoso | call failed problem with audio playback | 12:34 |
| Bauer | weird, sounds like a problem with the sound setup in skype | 13:00 |
| rafaelcardoso | maybe | 13:06 |
| rafaelcardoso | I can´t change devices, but shows me default device | 13:07 |
| sbalneav | Morning all | 14:58 |
| RichEd | sco sco sco scottieeeee | 15:04 |
| ogra | aww ... | 15:05 |
| ogra | evil abbreviation | 15:05 |
| * RichEd waves to sbalneav from sunny south africa ... 21C or 69.8F | 15:06 | |
| stgraber | you are lucky :), it's like -2°C here :) | 15:08 |
| * ogra has +6°C to offer here | 15:09 | |
| rafaelcardoso | hi all, I have one installation of edubuntu works fine with ltsp, have one or two troubles, but a big question is, I can make an script to login directly in dosemu? | 15:13 |
| * RichEd sees your paltry temperatures and raises you a 6:46 sunset time | 15:18 | |
| ogra | ogra@laptop:~$ scp gutsy-server-i386.iso ogra@people.ubuntu.com:/home/ogra | 15:27 |
| ogra | gutsy-server-i386.iso 100% 693MB 231.2KB/s 51:11 | 15:27 |
| * ogra hugs his new line | 15:27 | |
| sbalneav | :) | 15:29 |
| stgraber | that's the reason why I like being at school and using their bandwidth, that's really really useful for huge upload :) | 15:29 |
| sbalneav | not so sunny here today. | 15:29 |
| stgraber | 2x1Gb/s fiber so 100Mb/s symetrical for me :) | 15:30 |
| ogra | not having to drive 300km to reach my server physically is a huge improvement ;) | 15:30 |
| stgraber | indeed :) | 15:30 |
| * ogra is just setting up his 19" cabinet in the basement ... building a little datacenter | 15:31 | |
| RichEd | ogra: i thought you said decanter | 15:53 |
| RichEd | a drinks cabinet | 15:53 |
| ogra | we have decanters already ... and a wine cellar :) | 16:01 |
| rafaelcardoso | how run dosemu over ltsp | 16:04 |
| ogra | rafaelcardoso, create an ~/.xsession script that starts an xterm with dosemu would be one option | 16:05 |
| ogra | (but there are tons f others) | 16:05 |
| rafaelcardoso | great thanks | 16:06 |
| ogra | ldm will only attempt to execute /etc/X11/Xsession ... | 16:06 |
| ogra | thats what a normal ubuntu or debian does as well, so any documentation for X session management will apply to ltsp settings as well, if you find a xsession script for dosemu that runs on a normal debian/ubuntu you will be able to use it | 16:08 |
| rafaelcardoso | have a little trouble when i change lts.conf, put screen_01 = rdesktop for example, don't boot | 16:09 |
| rafaelcardoso | using config by mac address like examples on site | 16:10 |
| ogra | thats because rdesktop isnt instaled | 16:10 |
| rafaelcardoso | chroot and install? | 16:11 |
| ogra | right | 16:11 |
| rafaelcardoso | good thanks | 16:11 |
| johnny | hi | 16:20 |
| johnny | sbalneav, i ssh -X as you suggested for testing my autologin issue, that worked fine | 16:24 |
| rafaelcardoso | whi skype push sound configuration for my server | 16:31 |
| rafaelcardoso | sound on thin client works fine | 16:31 |
| johnny | skype is evil.. | 16:32 |
| rafaelcardoso | cool | 16:32 |
| ogra | skype would have to use alsa for sound ... | 16:32 |
| ogra | and there is no capturing device setup on thin clients atm ... | 16:33 |
| ogra | so you need to fiddle with that manually | 16:33 |
| bddebian | Heya | 16:40 |
| sbalneav | johnny: ok, well, it's something else then. | 17:16 |
| johnny | there are more comments on the bug with similiar experiences now | 17:17 |
| sbalneav | Yep, I've seen. | 17:18 |
| sbalneav | Any indication of error in /var/log/ldm.log on the thin client itself? | 17:18 |
| johnny | no | 17:18 |
| johnny | it just stops | 17:18 |
| johnny | no ctrl + alt + f1 | 17:19 |
| sbalneav | That indicates X has hung | 17:19 |
| johnny | last thing i see on the console when doing export LDM_USERNAME + LDM_PASSWORD and then starting ldm manually is the word hostname | 17:19 |
| johnny | appearing right after the command | 17:19 |
| johnny | and also "in get_userid" | 17:20 |
| sbalneav | Is "in get_userid" the last message in ldm.log? | 17:20 |
| johnny | yes | 17:22 |
| johnny | oh. no i don't think that is logged | 17:22 |
| johnny | it just shows up in the console | 17:22 |
| johnny | after doing ldm vt7 :0 | 17:22 |
| johnny | manually | 17:22 |
| sbalneav | So, after that, the thin client hangs, and doesn't respond to keyboard events? | 17:24 |
| johnny | correct, but the mouse moves | 17:27 |
| sbalneav | can you hit control-alt-backspace? | 17:28 |
| johnny | aha.. forgot to try that | 17:28 |
| === LaserRock is now known as LaserJock | ||
| johnny_ | sbalneav, i'm testing the backspace thing now, finally got a hold of a computer | 19:07 |
| highvoltage | goodnight edubunteros | 19:08 |
| johnny_ | are the thin clients supposed to have a splash screen? | 19:13 |
| johnny_ | sbalneav, no, ctrl + alt + backspace doesn't work | 19:13 |
| sbalneav | johnny_: ok, thanks | 19:27 |
| sbalneav | so, something's latched up. | 19:27 |
| johnny_ | anything else you want me to try while i got a free computer | 19:29 |
| === Ikiliki[God] is now known as Ilikekeke | ||
| sbalneav | I can't think of anything right at the moment, and I'm at work, and trying to catch up from being away for 10 days, so right at the moment, no :) | 19:31 |
| Ilikekeke | There is no op here? | 19:31 |
| johnny_ | oh, i thought you'd been back for awhile | 19:32 |
| Ilikekeke | brb | 19:32 |
| EhPrettyEasy | ESCAPE??! | 19:32 |
| sbalneav | johnny_: I have, about a week and a bit. | 19:33 |
| johnny_ | i wish i understood more C stuff | 19:35 |
| sbalneav | Quick way to fix that. | 19:35 |
| johnny_ | i wish, i have enough duties at our worker owned coffeehouse already :) | 19:36 |
| johnny_ | still need to patch up our scheduling application ,and add a new feature to our point of sale | 19:37 |
| sbalneav | yeah, well, I have my regular job, plus Edubuntu, plus upstream for LTSP, plus hang out in the channel and help anyone in the world with a problem. Plus wife, two kids, etc. :) | 19:38 |
| johnny_ | regular job? | 19:39 |
| johnny_ | what do you do? | 19:39 |
| johnny_ | yeah i do the same thing for my open source project.. | 19:39 |
| sbalneav | I'm the sysadmin for Legal Aid Manitoba. | 19:39 |
| sbalneav | And the manager of the systems department. | 19:39 |
| johnny_ | so do use ltsp there? | 19:39 |
| johnny_ | is there a way to run the old python ldm still? | 19:40 |
| johnny_ | at least i can hack that one :) | 19:40 |
| sbalneav | Yup, I use LTSP here | 19:43 |
| johnny_ | at least i could fix that one | 19:47 |
| sbalneav | The python one didn't support autologon anyway | 19:48 |
| johnny_ | yes it did | 19:49 |
| johnny_ | i was using it | 19:49 |
| johnny_ | with the LDM_USERNAME="hostname|" | 19:50 |
| johnny_ | you helped me set it up :) | 19:50 |
| sbalneav | That was an unofficial mod | 19:50 |
| johnny_ | aha.. i forgot | 19:50 |
| johnny_ | i was using it so long | 19:50 |
| johnny_ | it worked great | 19:50 |
| sbalneav | Well, this one works too. At least at home it does :) | 19:51 |
| sbalneav | why it's not working for you I don't know | 19:51 |
| johnny_ | prolly something minior | 19:51 |
| johnny_ | minor* | 19:51 |
| johnny_ | and for all the people on the list who have the same problem | 19:51 |
| johnny_ | err bug list | 19:51 |
| sbalneav | Well, we'll figure it out eventually. | 19:52 |
| johnny_ | that guy who posted to the ML, i'd like to get back together with him to work on it, but he hasn't reappeared since :) | 19:54 |
| sbalneav | who, gadi? | 19:56 |
| johnny_ | no | 20:03 |
| johnny_ | francis | 20:03 |
| johnny_ | he was helping me initially with debugging with ldm2 | 20:03 |
| johnny_ | that user he mentioned in the ML post was me | 20:03 |
| nixternal | sbalneav: how much of a machine would be needed to run ltsp on a machine that say, at a max, 50 computers would connect to at any given time? | 20:39 |
| sbalneav | nixternal: Well, you'd want something on the order of a dual xenon | 20:47 |
| sbalneav | prolly at least 4-6 gigs of ram. | 20:48 |

| ogra1 | LaserJock, yup, with half an eye | 21:36 |
| LaserJock | ogra1: I figured out our gcompris translation problem | 21:37 |
| LaserJock | ogra1: and will fix it for Hardy when I do the merge | 21:37 |
| ogra1 | hey, thanks | 21:37 |
| ogra1 | but you can also leave that to me | 21:38 |
| LaserJock | ogra1: and am going to send carlos a Gutsy .pot so that we can reinsert the translations into the lang pack updates | 21:38 |
| ogra1 | the new structure leaves me not much develpment time on other but edu apps | 21:38 |
| LaserJock | ogra1: I'll fix this one, it's my fault in the first place I believe | 21:38 |
| ogra1 | so as soon as CD and ltsp upstream are sorted i'll turn into a plain edu maintainer | 21:39 |
| === ogra1 is now known as ogra | ||
| LaserJock | ogra: great | 21:40 |
| LaserJock | there are quite a few bugs out there to get fixed up | 21:40 |
| ogra | yeah | 21:40 |
| ogra | well, i fear to get bored after some time | 21:40 |
| ogra | but lets see ... being bored one release might also not e bad :) | 21:41 |
| ogra | *be | 21:41 |
| LaserJock | well, we might have a better chance of doing some need polishing | 21:49 |
| LaserJock | *needed | 21:49 |
| ogra | i doubt that for hardy though | 21:51 |
| ogra | to much new stuff | 21:51 |
| ogra | and to much odl stuff for me to sort out | 21:51 |
| ogra | *old | 21:51 |
| LaserJock | I'm sure there will be enough to do | 21:52 |
