[00:19] hey [00:19] can anybody help me please [00:20] not if you don't ask a question [00:21] well i just used wubi to installe edubuntu on a virtual disk but it installed the server addition [00:21] but i would like a desktop [00:21] i tried sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop, but it said no updates or something [00:23] any advice? [00:28] i also have problems with the xorg config [00:33] Cheerio: someone will answer eventually, not everyone is at their computer all the time [00:33] good night :) [00:34] lol k thanks [01:07] Hi all. Have a newborn and am doing some early investigation into educational GPL software...have installed tuxpaint, gcompris and childsplay. Any other suggestions? === a[2121]e is now known as azizi [03:33] I'm running edubuntu-server 7.10 as an ltsp-server trying to play video with vlc on the clients. [03:33] I have no problem playing mp3's with vlc from clients nor video with totem, but video with vlc I can't. [03:34] VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus [03:34] The program '.' received an X Window System error. [03:34] This probably reflects a bug in the program. [03:34] The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. [03:34] (Details: serial 57 error_code 10 request_code 148 minor_code 1) [03:34] (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; [03:34] that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. [03:34] To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line [03:34] option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful [03:34] backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) [03:34] I belive this to be an ltsp-problem running X on thin clients [03:35] I found a soulution on vlc-forums: The solution is to start X with MIT-SHM extension disable, and allowModXvidtune. [03:35] How can I do this? [03:36] This is my /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf [03:36] [default] [03:36] XSERVER=auto [03:36] SERVER=192.168.0.1 [03:36] SCREEN_02=shell [03:36] SCREEN_07=ldm [03:36] X_MODE_0="1024x768" [03:36] X_COLOR_DEPTH=24 [03:36] X_HORZSYNC="31-60" [03:36] X_VERTREFRESH="55-75" [03:36] angelot, dont paste [03:36] Anyone? [03:36] !paste | angelot [03:36] 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] OK :-) [03:37] not sure about your query - you may ave to wait a while (most devs are in europe iirc) [03:38] you do not want to disable MIT-SHM i bet [03:38] sounds like a bad idea [03:42] This is the paste-bin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55441/ [03:45] johnny, do you have any clues how I can make vlc working - disable MIT-SHM or not? [03:46] never tried [03:46] OK :-) [03:47] but i think it may impact your performance [03:47] i could be wrong about that [03:47] but it sounds important [03:47] try mplayer? [03:51] 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] you can't [03:52] iirc [03:52] you have to edit the generated xorg [03:52] or provide your own custom one [04:39] Jonny: mplayer are running fine, except for some framedropping due to lack of resources on the thin client. [04:41] 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] no [04:41] it doesn't use that one [04:42] it generates one per client [04:42] Where can I find this one? [04:46] Where can I find the generated file for the thin clients? [04:50] it's generated on the fly [04:50] when the client loads [04:50] you can provide a custom one per thin client [04:50] i suppose [04:52] I thought this was done using lts.conf [04:53] that's very basic stuff [04:53] In mine I have some default values, but you can specify one setting for each MAC-address... [05:00] the single terminal i have connecting to the server locks up after a period of inactivity [05:00] well, it doesn't come out of a black / blank display state [05:02] IsleVegan: Seems to be an X-problem.... [05:02] hmm [05:02] ok [05:03] what can i do about that? [05:03] Does your terminal connect to the server using ltsp? [05:03] yes [05:03] i'm using the terminal now [05:04] Then you can set some dafaults in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf [05:04] ok, i'll look at that [05:05] thanks for your help, i'm looking now [05:07] See http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted and scroll down to "Fine-tuning the thin client setup" [05:07] there doesn't appear to be an lts.conf file in that location [05:08] By default, I don't think the lts.conf-file exist. [05:08] I had to make one myself.... [05:08] hmm [05:08] not sure what to put there, maybe i'll find that in the url you gave me [05:09] Her you'll find mine: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55442/ [05:09] thanks [05:13] should i change this SERVER=192.168.0.1 to the ip address of my server? [05:13] ends in 183 [05:18] yep [05:19] :-) [05:47] hello. I have a question regarding a multiserver setup of edubuntu with ltsp [05:47] specifically it is regarding a /home mounted on nfs [05:47] and along the lines of that setup i plan to use it for the ENTIRE environment [05:48] with 3 servers [05:48] can someone give me a walk through or how to set it up? [06:12] thanks for earlier angelot [06:12] i appreciate your time [06:12] there may be other issues with this computer [06:13] the hard drive may be dead / dying or whatever, it's all a new setup except the hard drive [06:32] IsleVegan: No problem. It was worth trying - I had the same problem with my 6.04 desktop... [06:34] well, i'm booted with puppy linux now on the terminal, was getting frustrated with problems from the server [06:34] blargh [08:51] hello can some one tell me if there is any "math tutor" soft ware on edubuntu? [14:54] 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. [17:02] hi all [18:57] ogra: is there still going to be a DVD image/release of Edubuntu or just CD? === paulj1 is now known as pauljw
