| tbwnoob | v 7.1 | 05:59 |
| tbwnoob | does anyone know how to login | 05:59 |
| tbwnoob | ? | 06:00 |
| HedgeMage | Well, you set the password when you installed it, didn't you? | 06:00 |
| tbwnoob | its live | 06:00 |
| tbwnoob | when i boot from cd | 06:00 |
| tbwnoob | it has a username and password | 06:01 |
| HedgeMage | ahh | 06:01 |
| tbwnoob | yea whats up with that | 06:01 |
| HedgeMage | I honestly don't know, I have not used the livecd | 06:01 |
| tbwnoob | how did you install it then | 06:02 |
| tbwnoob | well can somone help me with this password problem | 06:05 |
| tbwnoob | where are passwors stored on the cd | 06:06 |
| HedgeMage | tbwnoob: they aren't stored in plaintext | 06:07 |
| tbwnoob | okay | 06:08 |
| tbwnoob | so is the any default passes | 06:08 |
| HedgeMage | tbwnoob: did you try looking on ubuntu.org? | 06:09 |
| tbwnoob | yea | 06:09 |
| tbwnoob | they gave me this irc channel | 06:09 |
| HedgeMage | heh | 06:10 |
| HedgeMage | unfortunately, everyone seems to be sleeping | 06:10 |
| tbwnoob | ok | 06:10 |
| HedgeMage | hang on let me poke around | 06:10 |
| tbwnoob | ok | 06:10 |
| HedgeMage | I'll be slow, though, I am lecturing in drupal chat a bit | 06:11 |
| tbwnoob | ok | 06:12 |
| tbwnoob | sudo -i | 06:17 |
| tbwnoob | ? | 06:17 |
| tbwnoob | in the username | 06:17 |
| HedgeMage | tbwnoob: you should have googled "edubuntu live cd password" | 06:17 |
| tbwnoob | i did | 06:18 |
| tbwnoob | i got sudo -i | 06:18 |
| HedgeMage | tbwnoob: second result says username ubuntu password blank | 06:18 |
| tbwnoob | i tried that | 06:19 |
| HedgeMage | really? | 06:19 |
| HedgeMage | hrm... | 06:19 |
| HedgeMage | *sigh* | 06:19 |
| HedgeMage | edubuntu and blank password maybe? | 06:19 |
| HedgeMage | you'd think they'd make it autologin like the ubuntu one | 06:19 |
| tbwnoob | tried it | 06:19 |
| tbwnoob | didnt work | 06:20 |
| tbwnoob | sudo password root | 06:20 |
| tbwnoob | or sudo -i | 06:20 |
| tbwnoob | brb | 06:20 |
| HedgeMage | right but you can't use sudo unless you are logged in | 06:20 |

| === dvanassche is now known as Nubae | ||
| Nubae | does anyone know if the XO one laptop per child could run as a thin terminal client? | 16:52 |
| highvoltage | Nubae: well, it runs linuxbios, so I guess it would support etherboot | 16:54 |
| highvoltage | Nubae: but why would you want to? | 16:54 |
| Nubae | well, for one because sugar is not really ready yet | 16:56 |
| Nubae | and 2 because distributing content is the main aim right now various programs | 16:56 |
| highvoltage | personally, I would rather use a classmate PC if you want to use it for a very mobile thin client | 16:57 |
| Nubae | I am looking at a volunteer position in Nepal, a pilot project with teh XO | 16:57 |
| highvoltage | it has nicer hardware. | 16:57 |
| highvoltage | aah. | 16:57 |
| Nubae | government already has 200 laptops | 16:57 |
| highvoltage | great! | 16:57 |
| Nubae | and I was thinking of how to apply my ltsp knowledge | 16:57 |
| Nubae | :-) | 16:57 |
| Nubae | the main problem they currently have is lack of content | 16:58 |
| Nubae | anyway, the XO lacks an rj45 network port so... | 16:58 |
| highvoltage | ouch, I didn't realise that. | 16:59 |
| Nubae | yeah relies entirely on mesh networking | 17:00 |
| highvoltage | do you plan to use any of the default system on the machines? | 17:00 |
| Nubae | well, at the moment the ui isn't ready, but the pilot project has started, they want me to concentrate on distributing content from servers | 17:01 |
| highvoltage | hmm, I thought you could perhaps put the LTSP system on the machines (on flash), and connect to the server via wireless, but LTSP over wi-fi is a bit too slow :-/ | 17:01 |
| Nubae | ie, squid, content filtering, web based moodle like distribution | 17:01 |
| highvoltage | Nubae: how much ram does that olpc have again? | 17:02 |
| Nubae | well, maybe not if its all adhoc | 17:02 |
| Nubae | 256, quite a lot | 17:02 |
| highvoltage | Nubae: ogra_cmpc has a nice scaled down edubuntu image for the classmate pc, maybe that could be modified for the olpc | 17:02 |
| highvoltage | cmpc also has just below 256MB RAM. | 17:02 |
| Nubae | I have a small xubuntu image too, that works very fast | 17:03 |
| Nubae | but edubuntu has the contnet, that's what interests them right now | 17:03 |
| highvoltage | nice. Xubuntu works nicely in schools, but it has to be locked down. I ran Xubuntu in >200 schools too. | 17:03 |
| highvoltage | what content specifically? | 17:04 |
| Nubae | curriculum based stuff (science, geogrpahy, maths, english, etc.) | 17:04 |
| Nubae | gcompris alone puts the current XO content to shame | 17:05 |
| highvoltage | hmm, so why not just include gcompris in your xubuntu image? | 17:05 |
| Nubae | anyway, I have a meeting with them tomorrow and wanted to mention ltsp and its benefits | 17:05 |
| Nubae | that I've done, but not sure if teh XO can do it... | 17:06 |
| highvoltage | yeah | 17:07 |
| highvoltage | well I hope it goes well. | 17:07 |
| Nubae | yeah thanks, the XO is cool at least in spirit | 17:08 |
| highvoltage | yes, I think once the UI evolves to the point it is intended to be, and they do some slight hardware upgrades, then it would rock. | 17:08 |
| highvoltage | I think the current cpu is a bit too basic for big python apps and such. gnome-app-install crashes if you have universe enabled with only 256MB ram | 17:09 |
| highvoltage | so slightly more ram wouldn't hurt either. | 17:09 |
| Nubae | maybe low fat will work better due to wireless | 17:09 |
| * Nubae wonders if ltsp could distribute through a mesh | 17:12 | |
| highvoltage | Nubae: hope this doesn't overshadow the sugar development: http://www.olpcnews.com/software/windows/xp_on_the_xo_in_60_days.html | 17:14 |
| Nubae | yeah, people aren't too happy about that | 17:15 |
| Nubae | in any case, the focus is on open source and open content, would be crazy to put XP on it | 17:15 |
| Nubae | not to mention power consumption | 17:16 |
| Nubae | anyway ubuntu has been ported to it too, as an image | 17:20 |
| Nubae | they say it runs more smoothly than sugar | 17:21 |
| Nubae | gah... http://radian.org/notebook/paradox-of-choice | 17:26 |

| arkaniad | Hello | 19:08 |
| arkaniad | i found out something while installing Edubuntu 7.10 | 19:09 |
| arkaniad | well, i had ubuntu 7.10 installed and at my house i have a router and a wireless usb adapter | 19:09 |
| arkaniad | in ubuntu 7.10 i was sure i config'd it right but it didnt work | 19:10 |
| arkaniad | now, i am running edubuntu, and it works and i set it up like on ubuntu | 19:10 |
| arkaniad | any conclusions? | 19:11 |
| Methlogic | can anyone help me? i install... i partitioned my disk and rebooted i got to the install screen hit ok then it goes to CMD prompt and says everything is ok... then my screen turns green and fades slowly.... | 19:20 |
| Methlogic | anyone else have this problem? | 19:21 |
| lulemurfan | does ms virtaul pc like edubuntu? , coz it just keeps stopping when installing | 19:30 |
| johnny | lulemurfan, try virtualbox | 19:31 |
| lulemurfan | whats that? | 19:32 |
| * lulemurfan slaps lulemurfan with a Guppy Fish | 19:33 | |
| johnny | guess :) | 19:37 |
| johnny | you're attempting to use virtualpc already, so you should have an idea :) | 19:37 |
| johnny | virtualbox is free to use, and seems to run linux well | 19:37 |
| lulemurfan | oh right | 19:38 |
| johnny | i have no idea why or why not virtual pc gives issues | 19:38 |
| johnny | since i've never seen it in real life | 19:38 |
| johnny | but virtualbox is supposed to work nicely in both windows and linux | 19:38 |
| lulemurfan | ok i'll try that | 19:38 |
| johnny | to run either mac or linux :) | 19:38 |
| johnny | and windows | 19:38 |
| johnny | sorry, got it backwards, it runs in mac/linux/windows to run either windows or linux | 19:39 |
| johnny | it can prolly run osx with hackery, but i don't know anything about it.. | 19:39 |
| lulemurfan | all it want it to do is run linux on window | 19:39 |
| johnny | try virtualbox | 19:40 |
| johnny | :) | 19:40 |
| tbwnoob | hey guys | 23:36 |
| tbwnoob | does anyone know why my cpu fan would be shutting dow at startup and make my computer overheat | 23:36 |
| tbwnoob | ? | 23:38 |
| shawn__ | okay | 23:52 |
| shawn__ | i guess there was a small wire blocking my fan | 23:52 |
| shawn__ | i unplugged it moved some wires and now it stays on' | 23:52 |
| shawn__ | anyone here? | 23:52 |
| johnny | try #ubuntu | 23:59 |
| johnny | 99% of questions that apply to edubuntu also apply to ubuntu, since it is mostly the same , except the education apps | 23:59 |
