[00:34] <Cheerio> lol k thanks
[01:07] <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?
[03:33] <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.
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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?
[03:36] <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 :-)
[03:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> not sure about your query - you may ave to wait a while (most devs are in europe iirc)
[03:38] <johnny> you do not want to disable MIT-SHM i bet
[03:38] <johnny> sounds like a bad idea
[03:42] <angelot> This is the paste-bin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55441/
[03:45] <angelot> johnny, do you have any clues how I can make vlc working - disable MIT-SHM or not?
[03:46] <johnny> never tried
[03:46] <angelot> OK :-)
[03:47] <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?
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <johnny> iirc
[03:52] <johnny> you have to edit the generated xorg
[03:52] <johnny> or provide your own custom one
[04:39] <angelot> Jonny: mplayer are running fine, except for some framedropping due to lack of resources on the thin client.
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <johnny> it generates one per client
[04:42] <angelot> Where can I find this one?
[04:46] <angelot> Where can I find the generated file for the thin clients?
[04:50] <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
[04:52] <angelot> I thought this was done using lts.conf
[04:53] <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...
[05:00] <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
[05:02] <angelot> IsleVegan: Seems to be an X-problem....
[05:02] <IsleVegan> hmm
[05:02] <IsleVegan> ok
[05:03] <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
[05:04] <angelot> Then you can set some dafaults in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
[05:04] <IsleVegan> ok, i'll look at that
[05:05] <IsleVegan> thanks for your help, i'm looking now
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <angelot> Her you'll find mine: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55442/
[05:09] <IsleVegan> thanks
[05:13] <IsleVegan> should i change this SERVER=192.168.0.1 to the ip address of my server?
[05:13] <IsleVegan> ends in 183
[05:18] <angelot> yep
[05:19] <IsleVegan> :-)
[05:47] <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
[05:48] <achandrashekar> with 3 servers
[05:48] <achandrashekar> can someone give me a walk through or how to set it up?
[06:12] <IsleVegan> thanks for earlier angelot
[06:12] <IsleVegan> i appreciate your time
[06:12] <IsleVegan> there may be other issues with this computer
[06:13] <IsleVegan> the hard drive may be dead / dying or whatever, it's all a new setup except the hard drive
[06:32] <angelot> IsleVegan: No problem. It was worth trying - I had the same problem with my 6.04 desktop...
[06:34] <IsleVegan> well, i'm booted with puppy linux now on the terminal, was getting frustrated with problems from the server
[06:34] <IsleVegan> blargh
[08:51] <brizben> hello can some one tell me if there is any "math tutor" soft ware on edubuntu?
[14:54] <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.
[17:02] <alien__> hi all
[18:57] <nixternal> ogra: is there still going to be a DVD image/release of Edubuntu or just CD?
