[01:51] hi folks [01:52] 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] specifically, I need to get rid of the CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y option in the i386 client kernel [02:30] nentis: you'll have to create it a seperate chroot probably [02:31] 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? [02:33] if the other clients dont mind the chang you could yeah [02:33] all clients are the same. This is a new install. [02:33] ebox 2300SX requires that option be removed. [09:06] RichEd: greetings. [09:06] ugg is it that late? [09:06] hello mr carter sir ... [09:06] and mr LaserJock [09:06] happy happy merry best etc. [09:07] LaserJock: heh [09:07] yes, same to the both of you! [09:09] RichEd: looks like I got dynamic menus figured out [09:10] LaserJock: ogra mentioned some success at the (very small & short) meeting on wed [09:10] 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] heh [09:10] well I just fixed it [09:11] it was complete hosed for a while and I was unsure if it could be reimplemented [09:11] but I figured it out with a one-line fix [09:11] so now it needs a friendly front-end [09:12] perhaps I can get ogra, the pygtk masta, to help there ;-) [09:12] :) from you ... or are you looking for some labour ? [09:12] I've not particularly written a GUI before [09:12] although this one should be simple I don't want to promise much [09:13] especially since it's 1am and I have a dissertation draft due tomorrow ;-) [09:14] LaserJock: how are things with the dissertation? [09:15] sounds good if you already have a draft ready :) [09:15] 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) [09:16] RichEd: doh! I forgot. I've know cody for quite some time. I'll try to respond to that email [09:17] he's been around the doc team for a long time and is getting his hand into MOTU [09:17] not sure if he can code but I'll ask [09:17] hello [09:17] highvoltage: *supposed* to have a draft ready [09:17] hi jsgotangco :) [09:17] hi jsgotangco [09:17] LaserJock: why are you still awake [09:17] heh [09:18] because I'm pulling my hair out trying to work on my dissertation ;-) [09:18] heh [09:18] some days I just hate molecules [09:18] my drawing program just won't reopen its own files :( [09:18] so i finally bored myself again and decided to build a dev environment again for ubuntu [09:19] as work is mostly boring stuff [09:19] LaserJock: aah :) [09:19] jsgotangco: don't you have ... something else to do? ;-) [09:20] LaserJock: hey, stop that! [09:20] yeah wrap up series 2 of funding then IPO [09:22] is edubuntu getting an lts? [09:23] as far as I know yes [09:23] Kubuntu's lack thereof was because of KDE4 [09:23] LaserJock so when will i be calling you as Dr. [09:23] heh [09:23] hopefully May [09:24] DrLaserJock [09:24] that sounds very evil. [09:24] please do not touch "The Lazer" [09:25] that's right ;-) [09:25] "that's *Dr* LaserJock to you" [09:25] so will you call your next project the alan parsons project? [09:26] hmm, I gotta get Project Seabass finished first :/ [09:26] sbalneav was supposed to help me with that [09:27] RichEd: how's it going dude [09:27] jsgotangco: well thanks & self ? (apart from your boring day job that is ?) [09:28] so who's editing the website? me and highvoltage get an occasional email inquiry or two [09:28] they must be still referring to the emails on the website [09:28] * highvoltage installed the new theme over the weekend [09:28] still needs some work and tweaking and fine-tuning [09:28] jsgotangco: pips1 ... forward on to him & cc me [09:29] we still need a new frontpage though :/ [09:31] we need .... ACTION! [09:31] * LaserJock darts about [09:57] night all [11:57] hi! I want to ask you, how to change directory (cd) to desktop on the terminal? [11:59] cd ~/Desktop [11:59] ok, thanks [13:13] hey ogra, how are you doing? [13:27] how to play subtitle (.sub file) in movie player? [13:28] highvoltage, fine, ltsp just moved to ubuntu-alternate :) [13:28] so hopefully we can drop edubuntu-server with alpha4 now [13:35] ogra: oh wow [13:35] ogra: I think the alterante CD should've had an LTSP option ages ago [13:36] ogra: but LTSP is probably more ready for the masses now than it was previously [13:36] stmartin: I think that question might be more suitable for #ubuntu [13:37] 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] it was only dropped for gutsy [13:37] aaah [13:38] i switrched to the -generic kernel and changed some bits in the installer integration [13:39] ogra: from the end-user side, will there be anything new in hardy for edubuntu? [13:39] apart from the cds goind away ? [13:39] *going [13:40] well, probably lasers menu stuff [13:40] and italc might be in, not sure yet [13:41] hardy+1 will see big changes, i think for hardy the CD redesign will be enough [13:41] i need to cope with its LTS nature .... so better fix bugs than adding new things [13:42] currently most of my time goes into classmate things anyway [13:44] yep [13:44] I'm getting a Classmate within the next week or so [13:44] if you ever want me to test anything, I'll be happy too [13:45] yesterday I got my DSL upgraded to 4mbps, so my life will be much, much easier from now on [13:45] i'll ping you if the image autobuilder is done [13:45] then we get daily images [13:45] won't have to wait forever when I download something anymore. [13:45] ok cool [13:45] it will be rsyncable [13:45] ++ :) [13:46] then it would take a few minutes at most for me to sync :) [14:34] hi [14:35] as anybody know how do I put sound working on my thin clients [15:12] was looking for some help setting up ltsp on ubuntu gutsy [15:15] anyone have any experience on setting this up? [15:16] Lots of people do, but unfortunately that's the same who don't have much time :) [15:16] Do you have any specific problem with installing LTSP ? [15:18] 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] now when my client connects i dont see a login screen anymore [15:18] oh, that's weird [15:19] what's the last message you see on the screen (if any) ? [15:19] i get into initramfs screen instead [15:20] hmm, ok, what's the last lines of /var/log/syslog on the server ? [15:20] any nbd error message ? [15:26] dhcpack on 192.168.0.250 to 00:d0:59:81:a8:4b via eth1 [15:26] hey... does 7.10 not have the groups powerdev and plugdev anymore? [15:26] that is the last line in the syslog [15:29] what's the result of a : ls -lh /opt/ltsp/images/ ? [15:31] -rwxr--r-- 1 root toot 140M 2008-01-10 10:18 i386.log [15:31] I get message from message bus (dbus) saying that powerdev and plugdev are not recognised groups, is that a change in 7.10? [15:37] argh, why is it .log ?? [15:37] it should be .img :) [15:37] ZeRoMaX: try renaming it to i386.img [15:40] my mistake its actually i386.img [15:40] read it wrong [16:16] 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 [16:25] ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250 (192.168.0.250) [16:26] ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250, assigned file is /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img [16:27] ndb-server[6052]: size of exported file/device is 146485248 [16:30] hmm, ok so it's not a nbd issue [16:31] can you try removing splash and silent from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default ? [16:31] and booting your client again, you should at least see more information [16:31] Heya [16:33] hi bddebian [16:34] Hello stgraber [16:38] when i check the eth0 setting on the client i noice the ip address are different === juliux_ is now known as juliux [19:17] how do i install by category ?
