| firestorm | Hi all. Have a newborn and am doing some early investigation into educational GPL software...have installed tuxpaint, gcompris and childsplay. Any other suggestions? | 01:07 |

| angelot | I'm running edubuntu-server 7.10 as an ltsp-server trying to play video with vlc on the clients. | 03:33 |
| angelot | I have no problem playing mp3's with vlc from clients nor video with totem, but video with vlc I can't. | 03:33 |
| angelot | VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus | 03:34 |
| angelot | The program '.' received an X Window System error. | 03:34 |
| angelot | This probably reflects a bug in the program. | 03:34 |
| angelot | The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. | 03:34 |
| angelot | (Details: serial 57 error_code 10 request_code 148 minor_code 1) | 03:34 |
| angelot | (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; | 03:34 |
| angelot | that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. | 03:34 |
| angelot | To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line | 03:34 |
| angelot | option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful | 03:34 |
| angelot | backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) | 03:34 |
| angelot | I belive this to be an ltsp-problem running X on thin clients | 03:34 |
| angelot | I found a soulution on vlc-forums: The solution is to start X with MIT-SHM extension disable, and allowModXvidtune. | 03:35 |
| angelot | How can I do this? | 03:35 |
| angelot | This is my /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf | 03:36 |
| angelot | [default] | 03:36 |
| angelot | XSERVER=auto | 03:36 |
| angelot | SERVER=192.168.0.1 | 03:36 |
| angelot | SCREEN_02=shell | 03:36 |
| angelot | SCREEN_07=ldm | 03:36 |
| angelot | X_MODE_0="1024x768" | 03:36 |
| angelot | X_COLOR_DEPTH=24 | 03:36 |
| angelot | X_HORZSYNC="31-60" | 03:36 |
| angelot | X_VERTREFRESH="55-75" | 03:36 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | angelot, dont paste | 03:36 |
| angelot | Anyone? | 03:36 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | !paste | angelot | 03:36 |
| ubotu | angelot: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 03:36 |
| angelot | OK :-) | 03:36 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | not sure about your query - you may ave to wait a while (most devs are in europe iirc) | 03:37 |
| johnny | you do not want to disable MIT-SHM i bet | 03:38 |
| johnny | sounds like a bad idea | 03:38 |
| angelot | This is the paste-bin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55441/ | 03:42 |
| angelot | johnny, do you have any clues how I can make vlc working - disable MIT-SHM or not? | 03:45 |
| johnny | never tried | 03:46 |
| angelot | OK :-) | 03:46 |
| johnny | but i think it may impact your performance | 03:47 |
| johnny | i could be wrong about that | 03:47 |
| johnny | but it sounds important | 03:47 |
| johnny | try mplayer? | 03:47 |
| angelot | I've just installed mplayer and I try that, but how can I write lts.conf to try to disable the MIT-SHM extension and allowModXvidtune? | 03:51 |
| johnny | you can't | 03:51 |
| johnny | iirc | 03:52 |
| johnny | you have to edit the generated xorg | 03:52 |
| johnny | or provide your own custom one | 03:52 |
| angelot | Jonny: mplayer are running fine, except for some framedropping due to lack of resources on the thin client. | 04:39 |
| angelot | I have no xorg.conf in my ltsp-setup, but the server have one. Do I have to edit the servers x-settings to get the clients to work well?? | 04:41 |
| johnny | no | 04:41 |
| johnny | it doesn't use that one | 04:41 |
| johnny | it generates one per client | 04:42 |
| angelot | Where can I find this one? | 04:42 |
| angelot | Where can I find the generated file for the thin clients? | 04:46 |
| johnny | it's generated on the fly | 04:50 |
| johnny | when the client loads | 04:50 |
| johnny | you can provide a custom one per thin client | 04:50 |
| johnny | i suppose | 04:50 |
| angelot | I thought this was done using lts.conf | 04:52 |
| johnny | that's very basic stuff | 04:53 |
| angelot | In mine I have some default values, but you can specify one setting for each MAC-address... | 04:53 |
| IsleVegan | the single terminal i have connecting to the server locks up after a period of inactivity | 05:00 |
| IsleVegan | well, it doesn't come out of a black / blank display state | 05:00 |
| angelot | IsleVegan: Seems to be an X-problem.... | 05:02 |
| IsleVegan | hmm | 05:02 |
| IsleVegan | ok | 05:02 |
| IsleVegan | what can i do about that? | 05:03 |
| angelot | Does your terminal connect to the server using ltsp? | 05:03 |
| IsleVegan | yes | 05:03 |
| IsleVegan | i'm using the terminal now | 05:03 |
| angelot | Then you can set some dafaults in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf | 05:04 |
| IsleVegan | ok, i'll look at that | 05:04 |
| IsleVegan | thanks for your help, i'm looking now | 05:05 |
| angelot | See http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted and scroll down to "Fine-tuning the thin client setup" | 05:07 |
| IsleVegan | there doesn't appear to be an lts.conf file in that location | 05:07 |
| angelot | By default, I don't think the lts.conf-file exist. | 05:08 |
| angelot | I had to make one myself.... | 05:08 |
| IsleVegan | hmm | 05:08 |
| IsleVegan | not sure what to put there, maybe i'll find that in the url you gave me | 05:08 |
| angelot | Her you'll find mine: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55442/ | 05:09 |
| IsleVegan | thanks | 05:09 |
| IsleVegan | should i change this SERVER=192.168.0.1 to the ip address of my server? | 05:13 |
| IsleVegan | ends in 183 | 05:13 |
| angelot | yep | 05:18 |
| IsleVegan | :-) | 05:19 |
| achandrashekar | hello. I have a question regarding a multiserver setup of edubuntu with ltsp | 05:47 |
| achandrashekar | specifically it is regarding a /home mounted on nfs | 05:47 |
| achandrashekar | and along the lines of that setup i plan to use it for the ENTIRE environment | 05:47 |
| achandrashekar | with 3 servers | 05:48 |
| achandrashekar | can someone give me a walk through or how to set it up? | 05:48 |
| IsleVegan | thanks for earlier angelot | 06:12 |
| IsleVegan | i appreciate your time | 06:12 |
| IsleVegan | there may be other issues with this computer | 06:12 |
| IsleVegan | the hard drive may be dead / dying or whatever, it's all a new setup except the hard drive | 06:13 |
| angelot | IsleVegan: No problem. It was worth trying - I had the same problem with my 6.04 desktop... | 06:32 |
| IsleVegan | well, i'm booted with puppy linux now on the terminal, was getting frustrated with problems from the server | 06:34 |
| IsleVegan | blargh | 06:34 |
| brizben | hello can some one tell me if there is any "math tutor" soft ware on edubuntu? | 08:51 |
| theunixgeek | I followed http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/18/removing-kde-icons-in-gnome-remove-gnome-icons-in-kde/ to remove KDE apps from the GNOME menus and vice versa; how do I undo it. | 14:54 |
| alien__ | hi all | 17:02 |
| nixternal | ogra: is there still going to be a DVD image/release of Edubuntu or just CD? | 18:57 |
