[02:38] <Goosemoose> hi guys
[02:38] <Goosemoose> im trying to preseed edubuntu
[02:38] <Goosemoose> i have this line but it doesn't seem to work, i get no gui
[02:38] <Goosemoose> tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard,edubuntu-desktop
[02:55] <Goosemoose> anyone?
[12:41] <ojwb> Hi - I'm putting together a computer from spare parts for my neighbour's ~6 year old kid, and edubuntu seems a good choice for the OS.  Looking at the wiki, I can find suggested hardware requirements for thin clients and servers for LTSP, but not for a standalone machine - any idea what it will run on?
[12:42] <ojwb> or is it just the same as ubuntu for that case?  does it use gnome for the desktop?
[12:46] <RichEd> ojwb: same as ubuntu ... and yes GNOME
[12:46] <RichEd> but it also has kde apps
[12:49] <ojwb> sure, I was meaning "rather than being based on xubuntu" really
[12:50] <RichEd> yep ... edbuntu is more or less ubuntu with an edubuntu-desktop package on top ... additional education applications, younger/simpler look & feel
[16:08] <steph_> bonjour à tous
[16:08] <steph_> le channel est français ou anglais
[16:09] <ogra> english, even though i think some here would understand french
[16:10] <steph_> ok. First of all, I'm a newbie to edubuntu.
[16:10] <steph_> hep you won another soldier :)
[16:10] <steph_> i put a wallpaper in /usr/share/backgroud
[16:11] <steph_> i would like  al; my users to see it
[16:11] <steph_> here is what i don't understand:
[16:12] <steph_> when i'm logon as a user, i see images in /usr/share/background
[16:12] <steph_> but not the one i added ?
[16:13] <steph_> if you can help me to understand how an admin can setup edubuntu for all users
[16:14] <steph_> (I have 5 childrem...kind of a admin lol)
[16:14] <steph_> childrens
[16:14] <stgraber> I'm not sure how gnome works on that point, but there is certainly some kind of .xml file storing the list of available wallpapers
[16:15] <steph_> in the /home/user ?
[16:16] <steph_> so i had to find that file, and mv to all other users ?
[16:16] <ogra> have a look at  /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu
[16:16] <steph_> what if users have personnal settings?
[16:16] <steph_> ok
[16:16] <ogra> create your own file in that dir with a higher number
[16:16] <ogra> and set the background like in the ubuntu file but with your own image
[16:17] <ogra> the higher number will make the settings you put in that file overrule all others
[16:17] <ogra> dont change the edubuntu file, that gets overwritten on updates
[16:22] <steph_> another question (maybe stupid). Why /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu has a symbolic link. Would it be easier to have only one file. Is it common in  *nix systems ?
[16:23] <Petaris> Hi all
[16:26] <Petaris> I am trying to debug a thin client issue but it seems to be ignoring my SCREEN_02=shell in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
[16:26] <Petaris> any ideas
[16:28] <ogra> paste your lts.conf to a pastebin
[16:28] <Petaris> its just two lines
[16:28] <Petaris> the version and the SCREEN_02=shell
[16:29] <Petaris> sec
[16:30] <Petaris_Aki> ogra: http://phpfi.com/281449
[16:30] <ogra> looks fine
[16:30] <Petaris> *three lines
[16:30] <ogra> you can drop the version var btw
[16:30] <Petaris> ok
[16:31] <Petaris> didn't know if it was required or not
[16:31] <ogra> its just a placeholder for the default file ... getltscfg would moan if it fineds the file empty
[16:31] <Petaris> ahh
[16:32] <Petaris> so why am I not getting a shell on tty2?
[16:32] <ogra> what happens exactly when you boot
[16:32] <ogra> you get a normal X login ? or is it stuck at the first console ?
[16:33] <Petaris> it grabs the DHCP, the image, gives me the Ubuntu boot screen then goes to a black screen
[16:33] <Petaris> x doesn't start
[16:33] <Petaris> thats what I am trying to diagnose
[16:33] <ogra> and alt-f2 doesnt get you to a terminal ?
[16:33] <Petaris> I need the shell to see what the graphics chipset is
[16:33] <Petaris> nope
[16:33] <Petaris> just a blank screen
[16:33] <Petaris> tty1 has the login on it
[16:34] <Petaris> but thats disabled right?
[16:34] <ogra> thats gutsy ?
[16:34] <Petaris> yeah
[16:34] <Petaris> 7.10
[16:34] <ogra> you can enable it with: sudo /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd && sudo ltsp-update-image
[16:34] <ogra> that enables the root login
[16:35] <Petaris> ok
[16:35] <stgraber> ogra: s/sudo/sudo chroot/ ?
[16:35] <ogra> oh, right
[16:35] <Petaris> still I wonder why I am not getting the shell
[16:35] <ogra> thanks for pointing
[16:35]  * ogra is in a meeting alongside
[16:37] <Petaris> ok, thanks for the instructions ogra
[16:45] <Petaris> where in proc should I look to find the video chipset?
[16:53] <johnny> i had a problem where if the desktop failed to come up properly
[16:54] <johnny> like the autolgin bug, i couldn't move over to the the screen 2
[16:55] <Petaris> hrm
[16:57] <Petaris> maybe similar
[16:57] <Petaris> but I can't tell for sure
[17:19] <bddebian> Heya
[17:27] <Goosemoose> anyone here preseed edubuntu?
[17:30] <Goosemoose> wow it's quiet!
[17:59] <Petaris> hrm
[17:59] <Petaris> Does anyone know if there is LTSP client support for the AMD Geode LX800 chipset
[17:59] <Petaris> ?
[18:00] <Petaris> Specifically graphics support
[18:08] <Goosemoose> wow, too quiet in here todya!
[18:08] <Goosemoose> today
[18:10] <Petaris> yeah
[18:10] <Petaris> Goosemoose: I don't suppose you know if there is support for AMD Geode LX800 Graphics chipsets?
[18:13] <Petaris> I thought I saw something in the handbook but now I can't find it
[18:17] <Petaris> ahh, it was on ltsp.org's site
[18:19] <Petaris> ahh
[18:19] <Goosemoose> unfortunately no
[18:19] <Petaris> maybe the nsc driver is what I need
[18:29] <Petaris> apparently nsc only supports the older GX1 and GX2 chipsets
[18:29] <Petaris> :(
[19:28] <Goosemoose> anyone using preseed with edubuntu?
[20:34] <Goosemoose> anyone using preseed with edubuntu?

[20:44] <Goosemoose> ok, having problems with the pressed file
[20:45] <das-t> i read so, but unfortunately i do not have a solution too. tried preseeding once with sarge, but did not succeed at that time. hat too little time to look into it.
