| sakhi | hi highvoltage RichEd | 10:48 |
| RichEd | hi | 10:48 |
| sakhi | anyone familiar with perl? | 10:55 |
| sakhi | I busy learning it. | 10:55 |
| sakhi | I'm busy creating user accounts but I don't want them to have a password, rather to automatically logon | 10:56 |
| sakhi | using the username only | 10:56 |
| kgoetz | not sure you can have an empty password | 10:57 |
| stgraber | that should be a username option | 10:57 |
| stgraber | though if you are using LTSP it may causes some problems | 10:58 |
| stgraber | like SSH or LDM not accepting empty password | 10:58 |
| sakhi | ahhh so if the script does the following egrep "^$username" /etc/passwd >/dev/null | 10:59 |
| sakhi | that could cause problems on LTSP? | 10:59 |
| sakhi | as I am running edubuntu | 11:00 |
| stgraber | well, you should try this : | 11:00 |
| stgraber | create a test account with useradd and setting the password to empty | 11:00 |
| stgraber | edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config so it allows empty passwords | 11:00 |
| stgraber | then try a login from a thin client | 11:00 |
| stgraber | but I don't think ldm has any support for empty passwords | 11:01 |
| stgraber | ogra_cmpc: ^ | 11:01 |
| sakhi | stgraber: ok, I also want all the users to have the same interface when they logon i.e.Background | 11:04 |
| sakhi | I know have to do something in /etc/skel ? | 11:05 |
| ogra_cmpc | stgraber, hardy has support for ssh key based logins | 11:05 |
| sakhi | so that presence can take place in all the users | 11:05 |
| stgraber | /etc/skel is what will be copied to /home/username so modifiying it will apply to all new users | 11:05 |
| ogra_cmpc | but dont ask me how that works, i havent played with it yet | 11:05 |
| stgraber | but they will still be able to change the settings afterwards | 11:05 |
| stgraber | you may want to have a look at sabayon and the lockdown tool (I never used them but I think that's their goal to do such things) | 11:06 |
| johnny | sadly they don't provide a way to edit the global gconf | 11:10 |
| * johnny tries to decide of the extra expense of the dvi cable is worth it | 11:11 | |
| stgraber | johnny: I have a box full of them here (monitor have the DVI plug but those tell computers don't) :) | 11:13 |
| johnny | well i am buying an adapter for other computers | 11:14 |
| johnny | the project has dvi on it , but i don't know how much it really matters to it | 11:14 |
| johnny | i can't figure out what model it is, because the mount obscures it all, and i can't find the key :) | 11:15 |
| sakhi | thanks | 11:15 |
| johnny | i can buy alot of svga cables | 11:15 |
| johnny | for the price of 1 dvi | 11:15 |
| johnny | 100ft vga is less than 35ft dvi | 11:16 |
| stgraber | johnny: yes, DVI is expensive ... I should really think of selling those 50 DVI cables :) | 11:26 |
| alesan | hi, anyone knows how can I draw a triangle in QCad, when I know all the dimensions of the sides? | 17:10 |
| ScorpKing | is there a pxe boot image for ltsp on edubuntu? i get "tftpd[4990]: RRQ from 172.19.1.250 filename /lts/2.4*/pxelinux.0" "tftpd[4990]: sending NAK (1, File not found) to 172.19.1.250" | 17:39 |
| ScorpKing | got it. :) nvm | 17:49 |
| ScorpKing | now i get "this workstation isin't authorized to connect to server" on the clients | 17:51 |
| ScorpKing | isn't* | 17:51 |
| ScorpKing | nvm, problem solved here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToCookEdubuntu/Chapters/LTSPManagement | 18:04 |
| johnny | ogra_cmpc, the patch is now in libxklavier cvs | 19:04 |
| johnny | need to test it there, it got simplified | 19:04 |
| ogra_cmpc | great i'll hunt down seb tomorrow so he includes it | 19:06 |
| ScorpKing | how do i change the usplash theme for the thin clients? | 19:27 |
| Armagon | Greetings. I've got an old iMac G3 with a bad battery for the internal clock. I've set up a shell on screen 2 and ldm on screen 7. It will not start ldm properly until I set the time (it thinks it is 1904) in the shell. | 21:11 |
| Armagon | I read somewhere that ubuntu runs ntpupdate in the startup process. I installed ntp on my server, and I think I have properly configured things so the client can query it -- it works fine if I run "ntpupdate-debian" on the shell on the client. | 21:12 |
| Armagon | Does anyone, perchance, know if ntpupdate is really called during the startup process? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in dmesg, and there is no /var/log/daemon.log on the client (although I don't know if it'd be mentioned there in any case.) | 21:12 |
| Armagon | Is there a way for me, in a shell script, to log something and have it show up in dmesg's output? | 21:18 |
| johnny | i wouldn't show up in dmesg.. | 21:22 |
| johnny | it might show up in /var/log/messages tho | 21:22 |
| johnny | not daemon | 21:22 |
| Armagon | As root in the client shell, /var/log contains: Xorg.6.log Xorg.6.log.old fsck/ ldm.log news/ | 21:24 |
| Armagon | darn. | 21:24 |
| Armagon | Hey, I can add a script and make it create a log file. I would think it should have read/write access. | 21:25 |
| Armagon | Ok, it didn't work. | 21:36 |
| Armagon | I made a script called /opt/ltsp/powerpc/etc/init.d/fixtime.sh | 21:37 |
| Armagon | #!/bin/sh | 21:37 |
| Armagon | (ntpdate-debian && date) > /var/log/fixtime.log | 21:37 |
| Armagon | I chmoded it to 755 (as the other files in the directory are) | 21:37 |
| Armagon | In /opt/ltsp/powerpc/etc/lts.conf, I added (previously): RCFILE_01=fixtime.sh | 21:38 |
| Armagon | Now that I have rebooted the client, the time is still wrong, and no /var/log/fixtime.log exists. | 21:38 |
| Armagon | I'm pretty sure my client is using NFS (and not NBD), so I didn't feel that need to run any post-processing steps; I just edited the file. | 21:39 |
| Armagon | Did I follow the correct steps to make a custom script run? | 21:39 |
| Armagon | It's been a half-hour since I posted my problem, but I got it to work! | 22:23 |
| Armagon | instead of using RCFILE_01 = fixtime.sh, I needed RCFILE_01 = /etc/init.d/fixtime.sh | 22:23 |
| Armagon | How can I allow users to log in to a different window manager, such as KDE? (I installed edubuntu-desktop-kde on top of my edubuntu server, but that didn't add more options than just "default" for when a client logs in.) | 22:32 |
| * ScorpKing wonders if there's any clever people in this channel.. | 23:07 | |
| felipe__ | Hello, could someone provide me the link for the edubuntu 7.10 dvd, from the edubuntu webpage I only found the hardy dvd. | 23:36 |
| Armagon | http://www.edubuntu.org/Download ought to work for you. | 23:43 |
| Armagon | oh dvd ... | 23:43 |
| ScorpKing | weird.. it sais 7.10 dvd but only hardy is there. heh | 23:44 |
| pygi | felipe__, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/7.10/release/edubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso | 23:44 |
| pygi | here | 23:44 |
| Armagon | Near the bottom of the page, where there are two links for DVDs, note that they say "current" on the end. | 23:44 |
| Armagon | Take the "current" off, and follow the link. You should be able to choose gusty | 23:45 |
| pygi | Armagon, or just use my link xD | 23:45 |
| Armagon | Just use the link pygi provided. | 23:45 |
| ScorpKing | ah ok. now i see. ;) | 23:47 |
| felipe__ | thanks for the link | 23:47 |
| ScorpKing | nite guys | 23:47 |

| felipe__ | sucks | 23:48 |
