[00:27] <ari_stress> morning, happy new year everyone :D
[01:49] <iMacGyver> ok, 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? tia
[03:43] <Solv> an 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] <Solv> that 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 problem
[03:43] <Solv> currently 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??
[03:44] <Solv> if I set the resolution in lts.conf to 1280x1024...ltsp ignores this and sets the monitors to 1280x800 which looks horrible
[03:47] <LaserJock> Solv: I believe the xorg auto-detection is used
[03:48] <LaserJock> I'm not really sure how to set the x resolution
[03:48] <LaserJock> on a per client basis
[03:48] <Solv> LaserJock, setting stuff in lts.conf does seem to have an effect...but not the correct one =)
[03:49] <Solv> well 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 speak
[03:51] <LaserJock> you might want to look through the edubuntu-users archive, I think this has been discussed before
[03:52] <Solv> okay thanks...i'm actually using normal ubuntu....but not many people around on ltsp...so i came here
[11:34] <stgraber> ogra: around ?
[11:36] <stgraber> I'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 Edubuntu
[11:37] <stgraber> as 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 changed
[15:18] <msaul> I upgraded a video card, and was wondering if there was a
[15:18] <msaul> command line utility to reset graphic card info to run X-windows
[15:18] <msaul> I'm running Edubuntu 7.10
[15:19] <msaul> Perhaps something that works similar to sax or sax2 in SuSE?
[15:19] <msaul> Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
[15:32] <ogra> sudo 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 them
[15:34] <msaul> Thanks :)
[16:04] <bddebian> Heya
[18:39] <lns> Hey all
[18:40] <lns> Is there a program/util that can limit the actual time a user is logged in in Edubuntu?
[19:20] <lns> nevermind, found timeoutd =)
[19:41] <iMacGyver> ok, 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? tia
[19:42] <johnny> and you tried it in the chroot?
[19:42] <johnny> what happened?
[19:42] <johnny> i don't recall
[19:42] <iMacGyver> include/asm/irq.h:15:25: error: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory
[19:42] <iMacGyver> works fine, with exact same setup, but on a 32 bit server
[19:42] <johnny> and youc an't copy the module over?
[19:43] <iMacGyver> i want to know how to do it here :)
[19:43] <johnny> if the kernel/gcc matches
[19:43] <johnny> it'll work
[19:43] <iMacGyver> i know
[19:43] <johnny> or should
[19:43] <johnny> well most people are gonna tell you not to bother with 64bit server
[19:43] <iMacGyver> but i don't want to have to keep a 32 bit one around and in sync with the one here
[19:43] <iMacGyver> johnny: why?
[19:43] <johnny> because there are no benefits
[19:43] <johnny> if i had th chance to redo mine, i'd use 32bit
[19:43] <iMacGyver> johnny: really, so how do i use more than 4GB or ram?
[19:44] <johnny> isn't there a patch for that?
[19:44] <johnny> or something..
[19:44] <johnny> i know somebody in here was talking about it
[19:45] <stgraber> ogra: ping
[19:55] <iMacGyver> make ARCH=i386
[19:56] <iMacGyver> is the solution btw
[19:58] <lns> The server has a PAE enabled kernel allowing for >4GB RAM
[19:58] <lns> out of the box
[19:58] <lns> s/server/server kernel
[19:59] <lns> iMacGyver, and yeah...i wouldn't hassle with 64-bit server, especially if you wanna use things like flash
[20:00] <iMacGyver> i don't care about falsh :)
[20:01] <lns> java? any 32-bit only apps you can think of? if not, then stick with 64-bit (IMHO)
[20:01] <lns> can't hurt, and PAE does impose a performance hit
[20:02] <lns> for me, I had to have flash, so this was really the only way to make it work 100% (with sound)
[20:03] <iMacGyver> i have java on it
[20:03] <iMacGyver> you can install 32 bit java on it if you want
[20:20] <johnny> iMacGyver, running make ARCH=i386 on the server?
[20:21] <johnny> sounds like a topic for a howto :)
[20:28] <lns> Java has 64-bit native plugins ala "Iced Tea" now.. just seems a bit buggy compared to 32-bit java
[20:29] <iMacGyver> johnny: doing that inside the chroot
[20:30] <iMacGyver> lns: when java 7 comes out, it should hopefully be better
[20:30] <lns> iMacGyver, i hope too =)
