| slashdotfx | anyone had any luck to make ltspfs mount unpartitioned usb stick? | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| elisboa | slashdotfx: you mean pendrives that have the mbr formatted, instead of a partition? | 00:54 |
| elisboa | such as some mp3 players? | 00:54 |
| slashdotfx | elisboa, yes exactly | 00:55 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: do you have the detection script with you righ now? | 00:55 |
| elisboa | I can check it out | 00:55 |
| elisboa | if it's a shell script, it won't be hard to fix | 00:56 |
| slashdotfx | yes, it's a shellscript | 00:56 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: can you send me? | 00:56 |
| elisboa | or paste via web somewhere? | 00:56 |
| slashdotfx | ok, hold on | 00:56 |
| slashdotfx | via ltspfs.pastebin.com ok? | 00:56 |
| elisboa | ok :) | 00:57 |
| slashdotfx | uh, should we looking at udev instead of the shellscript? | 01:00 |
| slashdotfx | according to this document https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev | 01:00 |
| elisboa | if it's with udev, I don't know | 01:01 |
| elisboa | but I will look at the script first, and try to find what is lacking | 01:01 |
| elisboa | is the script available somewhere? | 01:01 |
| elisboa | it says it doesn't work with unpartitioned disks | 01:02 |
| elisboa | it's a bug | 01:02 |
| elisboa | and is fixable | 01:02 |
| slashdotfx | I'm a bit confused which script should be modified | 01:02 |
| elisboa | can i have the script? | 01:02 |
| slashdotfx | there are | 01:02 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: I have made a probing script, sometime | 01:03 |
| elisboa | ago | 01:03 |
| slashdotfx | ltspfsmounter | 01:03 |
| elisboa | and it predicted unpartitioned disks as well | 01:03 |
| elisboa | ` it reads data from sysfs | 01:04 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: do you want to see it? | 01:05 |
| slashdotfx | yes please | 01:06 |
| slashdotfx | maybe I can merge it down into my box | 01:06 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: have it: pub.ueberalles.net/probe.sh | 01:06 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: my script has a problem; it checks if the device is listed on fstab; if it is not, it isn't listed | 01:08 |
| elisboa | actually, it shouldn't need fstab after all | 01:08 |
| elisboa | it fetches the device mount path from ther, instead of define a bsae rootdir and complete it with device's name | 01:09 |
| elisboa | s/ther/there/ | 01:09 |
| elisboa | but it's not hard to understand it's engine, i ugess | 01:10 |
| elisboa | maybe you can use it for you | 01:10 |
| slashdotfx | ok, I'm digesting here | 01:10 |
| elisboa | bonapetit | 01:11 |
| slashdotfx | your script should be installed under ltsp chroot right? | 01:14 |
| krsnendu | looking for help with choppy flash videos on thin clients. I have LDM_DIRECTX set but still choppy. I'm using Hardy. | 01:20 |
| krsnendu | In Feisty the choppiness went away with LDM_DIRECTX. | 01:20 |
| slashdotfx | according to this thread | 01:20 |
| slashdotfx | http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=200802141431.34615.cjr%40tridentgarages.co.uk&forum_name=ltsp-discuss | 01:21 |
| slashdotfx | I need to modify udev rules | 01:24 |
| slashdotfx | elisboa, does your script executed manually? | 01:27 |
| slashdotfx | it works, after modifying udev rules | 01:52 |
| slashdotfx | ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", RUN+="add_fstab_entry %k auto" | 01:53 |
| slashdotfx | adding that to /etc/udev/rules.d/88-ltsp.rules | 01:53 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: yes, it executes manually | 02:23 |
| elisboa | it only probes devices | 02:23 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: sorry for the delay; i was moving fro mcollege to home | 02:24 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: tell me, did it help to fix the bug? | 02:24 |
| slashdotfx | ic, no problem | 02:24 |
| slashdotfx | well I need to test it further | 02:24 |
| elisboa | I am at home, ubuntu here | 02:24 |
| elisboa | I can help you if you want | 02:25 |
| elisboa | help to test, I mean | 02:25 |
| slashdotfx | since I'm test by deleting my own pendrive partition, and mkdosfs it without partition | 02:25 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: you can use mkfs.vfat too | 02:26 |
| elisboa | or mkfs.vfat -F32 if it's bigger than 2 GB | 02:26 |
| slashdotfx | well now the pendrive is mounted, even without partition | 02:27 |
| elisboa | yeaaaaah! | 02:29 |
| slashdotfx | elisboa, I'll report back to the channel asap after I got some real user bringing their mp3 players | 02:29 |
| slashdotfx | thank you very much for your help | 02:30 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: can I see how did you modified your 88-ltsp.rules? | 02:30 |
| slashdotfx | ok, its in here http://ltspfs.pastebin.com/m1176d890 | 02:31 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: I don't want to be preachy, but... Wouldn't it be interesting to use a rule for removable cd writers as well? They usually are named /dev/scd* | 02:36 |
| elisboa | slashdotfx: I've made this alteration: http://ltspfs.pastebin.com/m51409197 | 02:36 |
| elisboa | I don't have a removable CD writer here, but I have it at work | 02:37 |
| elisboa | if you want, I can test it there | 02:37 |
| elisboa | it's 00:00 now where I am. Brazil, -03:00 | 02:37 |
| elisboa | I usually get to owrk at 10:00 | 02:37 |
| elisboa | or 13:00 GMT | 02:38 |
| elisboa | oops, 01:00 PM GMT | 02:38 |
| slashdotfx | ic, I don't have removable cd writer here either, but it doesn't hurt to test it right | 02:38 |
| elisboa | yes | 02:39 |
| elisboa | if the line doesn't present any syntax error, it will be good for now :) | 02:40 |
| elisboa | so, I can test it at work and see if it works | 02:40 |
| slashdotfx | yes, excellent | 02:41 |
| elisboa | I know it's somehow hard to imagine that a thin client would have an external cd-drive, but if this lines gives us this feature, then there will be no excuses for this feature not to be present | 02:42 |
| elisboa | sorry if my english is seems ; i am not a native speakerbad | 02:42 |
| slashdotfx | no, your english is great | 02:45 |
| slashdotfx | I'm indonesian, english is not my native language too, but as long as we understand each other, its ok | 02:46 |
| elisboa | good :) | 02:46 |
| elisboa | I had a little problem with the keyboard, haha | 02:47 |
| slashdotfx | oops, now I'm seeing double mount point | 04:08 |
| coolio | i have a weird problem, the server goes really slow when then its nor directly connected to the internet, any thoughts | 07:00 |
| stgraber | dns resolution problems probably | 07:36 |
| johnny_ | hmm.. is gnome-cups-manager still needed these days? | 07:36 |
| johnny_ | evil thing pegs my cpu to 100% every once in awhile, causes music to skip | 07:36 |
| stgraber | johnny_: nope, it's replaced by system-config-printer | 07:57 |

| Muhammad_Saad | Hello, I have a question. Does a standalone Edubuntu workstation installation also contain the kernel headers? I will need them to compile the driver for my modem? I want to make everything ready before I install Edubuntu. | 08:20 |
| johnny_ | thanks stgraber :) | 08:27 |
| johnny_ | it wasn't autoremoved when i upgraded tho | 08:27 |
| johnny_ | bbiab | 08:27 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Does anyone know about my question? | 08:36 |
| Muhammad_Saad | If I have to download the kernel headers separately, which packages should I download? | 08:38 |
| cooli1 | just started installing gutsy I chose raid 1 and now want delete, what to do from here | 10:40 |
| bdgraue | where can i get an hardy alpha5/6 cd-iso? | 15:16 |
| bdgraue | i can only find an current dvd-image | 15:17 |
| ogra_cmpc | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/hardy/alpha-5/ | 15:28 |
| ogra_cmpc | you need the ubuntu desktop or alternate cd for it | 15:28 |
| ogra_cmpc | alternate has the ltsp bits in case you are after that | 15:28 |
| ogra_cmpc | (which can be found at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-5/) | 15:34 |
| bdgraue | ogra_cmpc: i am looking for the edubuntu thin client installation, i have an 400MHz AMD-K6 with 192 MB RAM and will install an edubuntu, i think a normal edubuntu installation is to big for the old machine. | 15:47 |
| ogra_ | bdgraue, thin clients need a server | 15:48 |
| ogra_ | they boot off the network | 15:48 |
| bdgraue | i thought i can use my kubuntu desktop as server | 15:48 |
| ogra_ | that spec would indeed make a godd TC | 15:48 |
| ogra_ | well, then just install ltsp on your kubuntu desktop :) | 15:49 |
| ogra_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall | 15:49 |
| ogra_ | no need for the iso | 15:49 |
| ogra_ | (at least with a decent DSL line) | 15:49 |
| bdgraue | i have to learn, how to configure the thin client | 15:50 |
| bdgraue | i'll try and learn :) | 15:50 |
| ogra_ | it configures itself | 15:50 |
| ogra_ | during boot it detects all HW related stuff it needs and sets up everything | 15:51 |
| ogra_ | the client is only used as a display and input/output device ... the actual session runs on the server so all that would be there to configure would be tweaks of the X server setup for special mouse or keyboard setups ... | 15:53 |
| ogra_ | there are some things to change in your desktop setup if you use kde though (i.e. redirect the desktop sound output) | 15:54 |
| bdgraue | i will read all i can get and try it, thanks for your help ogra_ | 15:55 |
| bdgraue | if i have more questions, i'll aks :) | 15:56 |
| bdgraue | ask | 15:56 |
| ogra_ | if you have questions, dont hesitate to come back and ask :) | 15:56 |
| bdgraue | i have a lot of questions, but all for a later state | 15:58 |
| bdgraue | one step after the other :) | 15:58 |
| bdgraue | (i think my english isn't the best) | 15:59 |
| cberl1 | Hi folks. got a little issue with an edubuntu server not authenticating clients (X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication). I know I've seen this issue discussed in the mailing list for edubuntu-users, but I can't seem to find the solution. Any thoughts? | 16:23 |
| === RichEd-1 is now known as RichEd | ||
| cberl1 | I can't ssh to the server and forward my connection, either. Does this help at all?? | 16:28 |
| cberl1 | Hey, anyone know what scp-client is? I seem to be missing it on my Edubuntu LTSP server... | 16:46 |
| cberl1 | Okay, found out what it is. any idea if it may be the cause of my users not being able to authenticate and get a session on my LTSp server? | 16:49 |
| bdgraue | * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3 [fail] <-- and i have no idea why, i thought it would be simple to set up an ltsp-server and only start the 'client-pc' via lan :( | 17:00 |
| bdgraue | is it easier with hardy alpha then with gutsy? | 17:05 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Hello, I want to know if the edubuntu cd comes along with the kernel development headers. I need them to compile my modem driver. | 17:13 |
| Muhammad_Saad | In the directory /pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.22 on the CD I see some packages starting with linux-headers-x.y.z.deb. Are these what I need? | 17:15 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Does anyone here know? | 17:21 |
| Paladine | anyone know if Alistair Crust frequents this channel (see http://www.ubuntu.com/products/casestudies/Skegness ) | 18:03 |
| LaserJock | bah | 20:02 |
| * LaserJock stabs bugzilla.gnome.org | 20:02 | |
| ogra_ | Paladine, he writes to the edubuntu-users ML from time to time ... | 20:10 |
| johnny | ogra_ hi.. | 20:14 |
| johnny | i got federico to do autotools magic for me.. and now sabayon is actually going to generate proper desktop file with X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version | 20:14 |
| johnny | so bug reports will be filed more correctly | 20:15 |
| Paladine | ogra_, thanks, was hoping maybe he came in here, he has invited me to his school to tour his labs, would have been nice to have a "face to face" in the irc sense first :) | 20:27 |
| ogra_ | right | 20:27 |
| ogra_ | if he is/was here, i'm not aware of his nick | 20:27 |
| Neon_lights | um...hello? xD | 21:41 |
| LaserJock | hello | 21:41 |
| Neon_lights | Hiya. :] I had a couple questions about Edubuntu. | 21:42 |
| Neon_lights | and I'm prolly gonna sound like an idiot, but oh well. I always do. Heheh. ^^; But anyway, I'm in Vegas, and my mom knows quite a few people on the county's school board | 21:43 |
| Neon_lights | And we were reading the paper today, and they're revamping their computer systems and stuff | 21:44 |
| LaserJock | cool | 21:45 |
| LaserJock | I'm in Reno ;-) | 21:45 |
| Neon_lights | Cool. I envy you, Reno is a lot more awesome then Vegas. =P | 21:45 |
| LaserJock | heh | 21:46 |
| Neon_lights | So anyway, we were thinking we'd send a couple emails out and ask if it's possible if they'd use Linux instead. =] | 21:47 |
| Neon_lights | And I guess I'm just wondering if ya know of any schools in the country that already use it that I could maybe use as a reference or something? | 21:47 |
| LaserJock | boy, I'm not sure of the specifics off the top of my head | 21:48 |
| LaserJock | but there's schools in Maine and Indiana | 21:48 |
| LaserJock | perhaps some in California too | 21:48 |
| LaserJock | I'd send an email to the edubuntu-users mailing list or look through some of the archives even | 21:49 |
| Neon_lights | Hm, okay | 21:49 |
| LaserJock | but yeah, there are a number of schools around that are using it successfully | 21:49 |
| Neon_lights | Cool. :D Thanks. | 21:49 |
| Neon_lights | Maybe we'll add a couple more to that number | 21:50 |
