| ojwb | there's an incorrect (or at least confusing) link on http://www.edubuntu.org/Download for DVD download | 09:37 |
|---|---|---|
| ojwb | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/dvd/current/ which is for daily hardy snapshots | 09:37 |
| ojwb | rather than http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/7.10/release/ | 09:38 |
| ojwb | which has the 7.10 DVDs | 09:38 |
| ojwb | if there's a better place to report this, let me know | 09:38 |
| ojwb | the comment before says "Edubuntu 7.10 DVD's are available from the following links:" | 09:39 |
| ogra | ojwb, theer is an edubuntu-website product on lauchpad, you can file it as a bug there | 10:11 |
| === mario_ is now known as pygi | ||
| ojwb | ogra: ah, obvious really - I'll report there | 12:46 |
| ojwb | hmm, I've just installed from the 7.10 i386 DVD | 12:56 |
| ojwb | I enabled the nvidia restricted driver | 12:56 |
| ojwb | then fetched the updates | 12:56 |
| ojwb | and it's saying they aren't authenticated | 12:56 |
| ojwb | software sources shows the CD and archive keys are installed | 12:57 |
| ojwb | is this a known issue? | 12:57 |
| ogra | ojwb, dont use the edubuntu-server iso, use ubuntu-alternate, edubuntu will become an addon to that in hardy, theer is no development going on on the old edubuntu-server CD | 13:12 |
| laga | hey ogra :) | 13:13 |
| ogra | hey | 13:13 |
| * ogra is in a rush atm, preparing for a flight | 13:13 | |
| laga | ogra: thanks for your suggestion to add mythbuntu-diskless to ltsp. couldn't have made my life any easier | 13:13 |
| ogra | laga, thanks for the patch :) | 13:14 |
| ojwb | um, this is for 7.10 though | 13:14 |
| laga | ogra: have a nice flight then :) | 13:14 |
| ogra | ojwb, oh | 13:14 |
| ojwb | FWIW, I deleted a duplicate but disabled DVD source in "software sources", and it updated the package lists and seems to be fetching now | 13:14 |
| ogra | laga, it would be nice to have the patch generate en_GB and set that as default to avoid all the perl errors you get with LANG=C | 13:14 |
| laga | ogra: i've got another patch which will add NFS overlays (as opposed to the current tmpfs approach). it'll be configurable of course and not change the default behaviour. would that be accepted? | 13:14 |
| ojwb | in about 4 minutes, I'll see | 13:14 |
| laga | ogra: oh, that patch. | 13:15 |
| ogra | laga, sure | 13:15 |
| laga | ogra: why not use en_US? ;) | 13:15 |
| laga | ogra: great. | 13:15 |
| ogra | well, eb_GB is waht ubuntu defaults to if nothing is set | 13:15 |
| * laga currently has some trouble testing patches because he keeps breaking stuff ;) | 13:15 | |
| ogra | so the chroot should behave similar | 13:15 |
| laga | ogra: ah. i thought it as en_US. ok, will do | 13:15 |
| ogra | hey, the rootdelay patch looks good, i'll merge that next week | 13:18 |
| laga | ogra: cool. | 13:18 |
| laga | ogra: i've just prepared the wake on lan patch. | 13:18 |
| laga | just needs testing. | 13:18 |
| ogra | oh, wow | 13:18 |
| * ogra isnt sure he has WOL capable HW here though | 13:19 | |
| laga | i've also added nbdroot= and nbdswap= boot options so you can put kernel + initramfs on a pen drive for example | 13:19 |
| laga | ogra: i can test it. it's like four lines and not enabled by default ;) | 13:19 |
| ogra | nbdroot ? isnt that there already ? | 13:19 |
| laga | ogra: i don't think you can just pass in nbdroot=ip:path | 13:20 |
| laga | when you boot the kernel | 13:20 |
| ogra | you do | 13:20 |
| ogra | have a look at client/initramfs/scripts/ltsp_nbd | 13:20 |
| laga | if you can do that, i must have missed something fundamental about boot option parsing | 13:20 |
| ojwb | ogra: seems to be working now | 13:20 |
| ogra | if [ -n "${nbdroot}" ]; then | 13:20 |
| ogra | NBD_ROOT_SERVER=$( echo "${nbdroot}" | sed 's/:.*//') | 13:20 |
| ogra | NBD_ROOT_PORT=$( echo "${nbdroot}" | sed 's/.*://') | 13:20 |
| laga | yes. | 13:20 |
| laga | but where is ${nbdroot} set? | 13:21 |
| ogra | that parsdes nbdroot | 13:21 |
| ojwb | I guess it had only fetched some of the package files when it downloaded the nvidia driver | 13:21 |
| ogra | laga, as kernel option :) | 13:21 |
| ogra | if [ -n "${nbdroot}" ] checks if it exists as kernel option | 13:22 |
| laga | ogra: if you take a look at /usr/share/initramfs/init you can see that nbdroot is not parsed there | 13:22 |
| ogra | doesnt need to | 13:22 |
| laga | oh. | 13:22 |
| laga | it's magic. | 13:22 |
| ogra | the kernel parses it and adds it to the env | 13:22 |
| laga | good, thank you. | 13:22 |
| laga | that saves me some work actually. great. :) | 13:23 |
| ogra | anyway, i need to go on packing :) | 13:23 |
| laga | :) | 13:23 |
| juliux | hey ogra | 13:35 |
| juliux | ogra, are you fine wiht edubuntu coffee mugs? | 13:35 |

| stgraber | argh, looks like we have a small problem with italc and ltsp :) | 16:04 |
| stgraber | I can run ica (client daemon) on a custom port (different one for each thin client) but I can't tell the admin interface which port to connect to ... | 16:05 |
| soberano | Is it possible to "upgrade" to Edubuntu from an Ubuntu install? | 21:25 |
| stgraber | yes | 21:26 |
| soberano | stgraber: easy process? | 21:26 |
| stgraber | installing the "edubuntu-desktop" package should do it | 21:26 |
| soberano | ok... I'll check it out... thanks | 21:26 |
| stgraber | if you want ltsp it's a bit harder (one more package to install and a couple of cmd) | 21:26 |
| stgraber | is that for a desktop or a server (LTSP) ? | 21:26 |
| soberano | I've installed Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn in parallels, Mac OS X; but I wanted Edubuntu... now I"m upgrading to Gibbon.. but the Edubuntu install for me didn't work on my Mac | 21:28 |
| soberano | so I'm looking for the desktop/singler user edition | 21:28 |
| stgraber | ok, so just upgrade your ubuntu to Gutsy Gibbon | 21:29 |
| stgraber | then install edubuntu-desktop | 21:29 |
