ari_stressmorning, happy new year everyone :D00:27
iMacGyverok, so i have 64 bit edubuntu server i created a 32 bit ltsp image, now i need to compile a module (e1000) to work on the 32 bit kernel of the 32 bit image, but i'm hitting a wall, any clues? tia01:49
Solvan someone please explain to me how ltsp5 ubuntu detects and sets screen resolutions...I've noticed it sets different resolution for different hardware...and interestingly, the desktops resolution settings (which i would have thought would only be relevant for the servers local video card and monitor) refelect the resolution settings of the current terminal i'm on..03:43
Solvthat been said I would like to change the resolutions...as for some monitors they are too low, and everything is too big...i had them setup in fedora ltsp4.2 on higher resolutions with no problem03:43
Solvcurrently i just set the lts.conf file to 1024x768....but some monitors have a native resolution of 1280x1024...and one monitor gets given 800x600...even though it can cope with 1024x768??03:43
Solvif I set the resolution in lts.conf to 1280x1024...ltsp ignores this and sets the monitors to 1280x800 which looks horrible03:44
LaserJockSolv: I believe the xorg auto-detection is used03:47
LaserJockI'm not really sure how to set the x resolution03:48
LaserJockon a per client basis03:48
SolvLaserJock, setting stuff in lts.conf does seem to have an effect...but not the correct one =)03:48
Solvwell i know you can do stuff like [ws001] and set indivudual settings there....but i don't wanna look into that if the settings are being ignored...so to speak03:49
LaserJockyou might want to look through the edubuntu-users archive, I think this has been discussed before03:51
Solvokay thanks...i'm actually using normal ubuntu....but not many people around on ltsp...so i came here03:52
stgraberogra: around ?11:34
stgraberI'm currently working on the Ubuntu QA pages and was wondering if you know when the switch to an Addon CD to Ubuntu will happen for Edubuntu11:36
stgraberas I don't think it's very useful to update all the Edubuntu workstation, server and Add-on, if we are about to have all that changed11:37

msaulI upgraded a video card, and was wondering if there was a15:18
msaulcommand line utility to reset graphic card info to run X-windows15:18
msaulI'm running Edubuntu 7.1015:18
msaulPerhaps something that works similar to sax or sax2 in SuSE?15:19
msaulAny suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)15:19
ograsudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ... that will generate a new config .... if you omit th -phigh it will offer you all the current values and give you an option to change them15:32
msaulThanks :)15:34

lnsHey all18:39
lnsIs there a program/util that can limit the actual time a user is logged in in Edubuntu?18:40
lnsnevermind, found timeoutd =)19:20
iMacGyverok, so i have 64 bit edubuntu server i created a 32 bit ltsp image, now i need to compile a module (e1000) to work on the 32 bit kernel of the 32 bit image, but i'm hitting a wall, any clues? tia19:41
johnnyand you tried it in the chroot?19:42
johnnywhat happened?19:42
johnnyi don't recall19:42
iMacGyverinclude/asm/irq.h:15:25: error: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory19:42
iMacGyverworks fine, with exact same setup, but on a 32 bit server19:42
johnnyand youc an't copy the module over?19:42
iMacGyveri want to know how to do it here :)19:43
johnnyif the kernel/gcc matches19:43
johnnyit'll work19:43
iMacGyveri know19:43
johnnyor should19:43
johnnywell most people are gonna tell you not to bother with 64bit server19:43
iMacGyverbut i don't want to have to keep a 32 bit one around and in sync with the one here19:43
iMacGyverjohnny: why?19:43
johnnybecause there are no benefits19:43
johnnyif i had th chance to redo mine, i'd use 32bit19:43
iMacGyverjohnny: really, so how do i use more than 4GB or ram?19:43
johnnyisn't there a patch for that?19:44
johnnyor something..19:44
johnnyi know somebody in here was talking about it19:44
stgraberogra: ping19:45

iMacGyvermake ARCH=i38619:55
iMacGyveris the solution btw19:56
lnsThe server has a PAE enabled kernel allowing for >4GB RAM19:58
lnsout of the box19:58
lnss/server/server kernel19:58
lnsiMacGyver, and yeah...i wouldn't hassle with 64-bit server, especially if you wanna use things like flash19:59
iMacGyveri don't care about falsh :)20:00
lnsjava? any 32-bit only apps you can think of? if not, then stick with 64-bit (IMHO)20:01
lnscan't hurt, and PAE does impose a performance hit20:01
lnsfor me, I had to have flash, so this was really the only way to make it work 100% (with sound)20:02
iMacGyveri have java on it20:03
iMacGyveryou can install 32 bit java on it if you want20:03
johnnyiMacGyver, running make ARCH=i386 on the server?20:20
johnnysounds like a topic for a howto :)20:21
lnsJava has 64-bit native plugins ala "Iced Tea" now.. just seems a bit buggy compared to 32-bit java20:28
iMacGyverjohnny: doing that inside the chroot20:29
iMacGyverlns: when java 7 comes out, it should hopefully be better20:30
lnsiMacGyver, i hope too =)20:30
