| nentis | hi folks | 01:51 |
|---|---|---|
| nentis | I have a thin-client which needs a custom kernel. What method should I use to compile and install a new client kernel? | 01:52 |
| nentis | specifically, I need to get rid of the CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y option in the i386 client kernel | 01:52 |
| kgoetz | nentis: you'll have to create it a seperate chroot probably | 02:30 |
| nentis | I can't compile a new kernel using the /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/config-2.6.22-14-386 as a base, and throw it into the existing chroot, then run ltsp-update-kernels? | 02:31 |
| kgoetz | if the other clients dont mind the chang you could yeah | 02:33 |
| nentis | all clients are the same. This is a new install. | 02:33 |
| nentis | ebox 2300SX requires that option be removed. | 02:33 |
| highvoltage | RichEd: greetings. | 09:06 |
| LaserJock | ugg is it that late? | 09:06 |
| RichEd | hello mr carter sir ... | 09:06 |
| RichEd | and mr LaserJock | 09:06 |
| RichEd | happy happy merry best etc. | 09:06 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: heh | 09:07 |
| highvoltage | yes, same to the both of you! | 09:07 |
| LaserJock | RichEd: looks like I got dynamic menus figured out | 09:09 |
| RichEd | LaserJock: ogra mentioned some success at the (very small & short) meeting on wed | 09:10 |
| RichEd | can you give me a quick run-down on what can be done with your new feature ... or should I read the spec ? | 09:10 |
| LaserJock | heh | 09:10 |
| LaserJock | well I just fixed it | 09:10 |
| LaserJock | it was complete hosed for a while and I was unsure if it could be reimplemented | 09:11 |
| LaserJock | but I figured it out with a one-line fix | 09:11 |
| LaserJock | so now it needs a friendly front-end | 09:11 |
| LaserJock | perhaps I can get ogra, the pygtk masta, to help there ;-) | 09:12 |
| RichEd | :) from you ... or are you looking for some labour ? | 09:12 |
| LaserJock | I've not particularly written a GUI before | 09:12 |
| LaserJock | although this one should be simple I don't want to promise much | 09:12 |
| LaserJock | especially since it's 1am and I have a dissertation draft due tomorrow ;-) | 09:13 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: how are things with the dissertation? | 09:14 |
| highvoltage | sounds good if you already have a draft ready :) | 09:15 |
| RichEd | did you respond to our volunteer guy I mailed you about ? cody ? i wonder if he could get stuck in (with a bit of guidance from an old hand) | 09:15 |
| LaserJock | RichEd: doh! I forgot. I've know cody for quite some time. I'll try to respond to that email | 09:16 |
| LaserJock | he's been around the doc team for a long time and is getting his hand into MOTU | 09:17 |
| LaserJock | not sure if he can code but I'll ask | 09:17 |
| jsgotangco | hello | 09:17 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: *supposed* to have a draft ready | 09:17 |
| RichEd | hi jsgotangco :) | 09:17 |
| LaserJock | hi jsgotangco | 09:17 |
| jsgotangco | LaserJock: why are you still awake | 09:17 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 09:17 |
| LaserJock | because I'm pulling my hair out trying to work on my dissertation ;-) | 09:18 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 09:18 |
| LaserJock | some days I just hate molecules | 09:18 |
| LaserJock | my drawing program just won't reopen its own files :( | 09:18 |
| jsgotangco | so i finally bored myself again and decided to build a dev environment again for ubuntu | 09:18 |
| jsgotangco | as work is mostly boring stuff | 09:19 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: aah :) | 09:19 |
| LaserJock | jsgotangco: don't you have ... something else to do? ;-) | 09:19 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: hey, stop that! | 09:20 |
| jsgotangco | yeah wrap up series 2 of funding then IPO | 09:20 |
| jsgotangco | is edubuntu getting an lts? | 09:22 |
| LaserJock | as far as I know yes | 09:23 |
| LaserJock | Kubuntu's lack thereof was because of KDE4 | 09:23 |
| jsgotangco | LaserJock so when will i be calling you as Dr. | 09:23 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 09:23 |
| LaserJock | hopefully May | 09:23 |
| highvoltage | DrLaserJock | 09:24 |
| highvoltage | that sounds very evil. | 09:24 |
| jsgotangco | please do not touch "The Lazer" | 09:24 |
| LaserJock | that's right ;-) | 09:25 |
| LaserJock | "that's *Dr* LaserJock to you" | 09:25 |
| jsgotangco | so will you call your next project the alan parsons project? | 09:25 |
| LaserJock | hmm, I gotta get Project Seabass finished first :/ | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav was supposed to help me with that | 09:26 |
| jsgotangco | RichEd: how's it going dude | 09:27 |
| RichEd | jsgotangco: well thanks & self ? (apart from your boring day job that is ?) | 09:27 |
| jsgotangco | so who's editing the website? me and highvoltage get an occasional email inquiry or two | 09:28 |
| jsgotangco | they must be still referring to the emails on the website | 09:28 |
| * highvoltage installed the new theme over the weekend | 09:28 | |
| highvoltage | still needs some work and tweaking and fine-tuning | 09:28 |
| RichEd | jsgotangco: pips1 ... forward on to him & cc me | 09:28 |
| highvoltage | we still need a new frontpage though :/ | 09:29 |
| LaserJock | we need .... ACTION! | 09:31 |
| * LaserJock darts about | 09:31 | |
| LaserJock | night all | 09:57 |
| stmartin | hi! I want to ask you, how to change directory (cd) to desktop on the terminal? | 11:57 |
| ogra | cd ~/Desktop | 11:59 |
| stmartin | ok, thanks | 11:59 |
| highvoltage | hey ogra, how are you doing? | 13:13 |
| stmartin | how to play subtitle (.sub file) in movie player? | 13:27 |
| ogra | highvoltage, fine, ltsp just moved to ubuntu-alternate :) | 13:28 |
| ogra | so hopefully we can drop edubuntu-server with alpha4 now | 13:28 |
| highvoltage | ogra: oh wow | 13:35 |
| highvoltage | ogra: I think the alterante CD should've had an LTSP option ages ago | 13:35 |
| highvoltage | ogra: but LTSP is probably more ready for the masses now than it was previously | 13:36 |
| highvoltage | stmartin: I think that question might be more suitable for #ubuntu | 13:36 |
| ogra | highvoltage, well, it was on there for quite some time .... but not documented and theer was no usable kernel on eth ubuntu CD | 13:37 |
| ogra | it was only dropped for gutsy | 13:37 |
| highvoltage | aaah | 13:37 |
| ogra | i switrched to the -generic kernel and changed some bits in the installer integration | 13:38 |
| highvoltage | ogra: from the end-user side, will there be anything new in hardy for edubuntu? | 13:39 |
| ogra | apart from the cds goind away ? | 13:39 |
| ogra | *going | 13:39 |
| ogra | well, probably lasers menu stuff | 13:40 |
| ogra | and italc might be in, not sure yet | 13:40 |
| ogra | hardy+1 will see big changes, i think for hardy the CD redesign will be enough | 13:41 |
| ogra | i need to cope with its LTS nature .... so better fix bugs than adding new things | 13:41 |
| ogra | currently most of my time goes into classmate things anyway | 13:42 |
| highvoltage | yep | 13:44 |
| highvoltage | I'm getting a Classmate within the next week or so | 13:44 |
| highvoltage | if you ever want me to test anything, I'll be happy too | 13:44 |
| highvoltage | yesterday I got my DSL upgraded to 4mbps, so my life will be much, much easier from now on | 13:45 |
| ogra | i'll ping you if the image autobuilder is done | 13:45 |
| ogra | then we get daily images | 13:45 |
| highvoltage | won't have to wait forever when I download something anymore. | 13:45 |
| highvoltage | ok cool | 13:45 |
| ogra | it will be rsyncable | 13:45 |
| highvoltage | ++ :) | 13:45 |
| highvoltage | then it would take a few minutes at most for me to sync :) | 13:46 |
| pmvalente | hi | 14:34 |
| pmvalente | as anybody know how do I put sound working on my thin clients | 14:35 |
| ZeRoMaX | was looking for some help setting up ltsp on ubuntu gutsy | 15:12 |
| ZeRoMaX | anyone have any experience on setting this up? | 15:15 |
| stgraber | Lots of people do, but unfortunately that's the same who don't have much time :) | 15:16 |
| stgraber | Do you have any specific problem with installing LTSP ? | 15:16 |
| ZeRoMaX | i was having an error with "This workstation isn't authorized to connect to server" and then i updated sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys and sudo ltsp-update-image | 15:18 |
| ZeRoMaX | now when my client connects i dont see a login screen anymore | 15:18 |
| stgraber | oh, that's weird | 15:18 |
| stgraber | what's the last message you see on the screen (if any) ? | 15:19 |
| ZeRoMaX | i get into initramfs screen instead | 15:19 |
| stgraber | hmm, ok, what's the last lines of /var/log/syslog on the server ? | 15:20 |
| stgraber | any nbd error message ? | 15:20 |
| ZeRoMaX | dhcpack on 192.168.0.250 to 00:d0:59:81:a8:4b via eth1 | 15:26 |
| Nubae | hey... does 7.10 not have the groups powerdev and plugdev anymore? | 15:26 |
| ZeRoMaX | that is the last line in the syslog | 15:26 |
| stgraber | what's the result of a : ls -lh /opt/ltsp/images/ ? | 15:29 |
| ZeRoMaX | -rwxr--r-- 1 root toot 140M 2008-01-10 10:18 i386.log | 15:31 |
| Nubae | I get message from message bus (dbus) saying that powerdev and plugdev are not recognised groups, is that a change in 7.10? | 15:31 |
| stgraber | argh, why is it .log ?? | 15:37 |
| stgraber | it should be .img :) | 15:37 |
| stgraber | ZeRoMaX: try renaming it to i386.img | 15:37 |
| ZeRoMaX | my mistake its actually i386.img | 15:40 |
| ZeRoMaX | read it wrong | 15:40 |
| stgraber | ZeRoMaX: can you check your syslog for any "nbd" or "nbd-server" message, usually when you get an initramfs prompt, it's because it was unable to mount the hdd image over nbd | 16:16 |
| ZeRoMaX | ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250 (192.168.0.250) | 16:25 |
| ZeRoMaX | ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250, assigned file is /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img | 16:26 |
| ZeRoMaX | ndb-server[6052]: size of exported file/device is 146485248 | 16:27 |
| stgraber | hmm, ok so it's not a nbd issue | 16:30 |
| stgraber | can you try removing splash and silent from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default ? | 16:31 |
| stgraber | and booting your client again, you should at least see more information | 16:31 |
| bddebian | Heya | 16:31 |
| stgraber | hi bddebian | 16:33 |
| bddebian | Hello stgraber | 16:34 |
| ZeRoMaX | when i check the eth0 setting on the client i noice the ip address are different | 16:38 |
| === juliux_ is now known as juliux | ||
| methods[laptop] | how do i install by category ? | 19:17 |
