[01:51] <nentis> hi folks
[01:52] <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
[02:30] <kgoetz> nentis: you'll have to create it a seperate chroot probably
[02:31] <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?
[02:33] <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.
[09:06] <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.
[09:07] <highvoltage> LaserJock: heh
[09:07] <highvoltage> yes, same to the both of you!
[09:09] <LaserJock> RichEd: looks like I got dynamic menus figured out
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <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
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <LaserJock> especially since it's 1am and I have a dissertation draft due tomorrow ;-)
[09:14] <highvoltage> LaserJock: how are things with the dissertation?
[09:15] <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)
[09:16] <LaserJock> RichEd: doh! I forgot. I've know cody for quite some time. I'll try to respond to that email
[09:17] <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
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <jsgotangco> as work is mostly boring stuff
[09:19] <highvoltage> LaserJock: aah :)
[09:19] <LaserJock> jsgotangco: don't you have ... something else to do? ;-)
[09:20] <highvoltage> LaserJock: hey, stop that!
[09:20] <jsgotangco> yeah wrap up series 2 of funding then IPO
[09:22] <jsgotangco> is edubuntu getting an lts?
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <highvoltage> DrLaserJock
[09:24] <highvoltage> that sounds very evil.
[09:24] <jsgotangco> please do not touch "The Lazer"
[09:25] <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?
[09:26] <LaserJock> hmm, I gotta get Project Seabass finished first :/
[09:26] <LaserJock> sbalneav was supposed to help me with that
[09:27] <jsgotangco> RichEd: how's it going dude
[09:27] <RichEd> jsgotangco: well thanks & self ? (apart from your boring day job that is ?)
[09:28] <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
[09:29] <highvoltage> we still need a new frontpage though :/
[09:31] <LaserJock> we need .... ACTION!
[09:31]  * LaserJock darts about
[09:57] <LaserJock> night all
[11:57] <stmartin> hi! I want to ask you, how to change directory (cd) to desktop on the terminal?
[11:59] <ogra> cd ~/Desktop
[11:59] <stmartin> ok, thanks
[13:13] <highvoltage> hey ogra, how are you doing?
[13:27] <stmartin> how to play subtitle (.sub file) in movie player?
[13:28] <ogra> highvoltage, fine, ltsp just moved to ubuntu-alternate :)
[13:28] <ogra> so hopefully we can drop edubuntu-server with alpha4 now
[13:35] <highvoltage> ogra: oh wow
[13:35] <highvoltage> ogra: I think the alterante CD should've had an LTSP option ages ago
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <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
[13:38] <ogra> i switrched to the -generic kernel and changed some bits in the installer integration
[13:39] <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
[13:40] <ogra> well, probably lasers menu stuff
[13:40] <ogra> and italc might be in, not sure yet
[13:41] <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
[13:42] <ogra> currently most of my time goes into classmate things anyway
[13:44] <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
[13:45] <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> ++ :)
[13:46] <highvoltage> then it would take a few minutes at most for me to sync :)
[14:34] <pmvalente> hi
[14:35] <pmvalente> as anybody know how do I put sound working on my thin clients
[15:12] <ZeRoMaX> was looking for some help setting up ltsp on ubuntu gutsy
[15:15] <ZeRoMaX> anyone have any experience on setting this up?
[15:16] <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 ?
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <stgraber> what's the last message you see on the screen (if any) ?
[15:19] <ZeRoMaX> i get into initramfs screen instead
[15:20] <stgraber> hmm, ok, what's the last lines of /var/log/syslog on the server ?
[15:20] <stgraber> any nbd error message ?
[15:26] <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
[15:29] <stgraber> what's the result of a : ls -lh /opt/ltsp/images/ ?
[15:31] <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?
[15:37] <stgraber> argh, why is it .log ??
[15:37] <stgraber> it should be .img :)
[15:37] <stgraber> ZeRoMaX: try renaming it to i386.img
[15:40] <ZeRoMaX> my mistake its actually i386.img
[15:40] <ZeRoMaX> read it wrong
[16:16] <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
[16:25] <ZeRoMaX> ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250 (192.168.0.250)
[16:26] <ZeRoMaX> ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250, assigned file is /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
[16:27] <ZeRoMaX> ndb-server[6052]: size of exported file/device is 146485248
[16:30] <stgraber> hmm, ok so it's not a nbd issue
[16:31] <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
[16:33] <stgraber> hi bddebian
[16:34] <bddebian> Hello stgraber
[16:38] <ZeRoMaX> when i check the eth0 setting on the client i noice the ip address are different
[19:17] <methods[laptop]> how do i install by category ?
