[05:58] whats up [05:58] hi tbwnoob [05:58] i got eduububto and i cant get past the password [05:59] v 7.1 [05:59] does anyone know how to login [06:00] ? [06:00] Well, you set the password when you installed it, didn't you? [06:00] its live [06:00] when i boot from cd [06:01] it has a username and password [06:01] ahh [06:01] yea whats up with that [06:01] I honestly don't know, I have not used the livecd [06:02] how did you install it then [06:05] well can somone help me with this password problem [06:06] where are passwors stored on the cd [06:07] tbwnoob: they aren't stored in plaintext [06:08] okay [06:08] so is the any default passes [06:09] tbwnoob: did you try looking on ubuntu.org? [06:09] yea [06:09] they gave me this irc channel [06:10] heh [06:10] unfortunately, everyone seems to be sleeping [06:10] ok [06:10] hang on let me poke around [06:10] ok [06:11] I'll be slow, though, I am lecturing in drupal chat a bit [06:12] ok [06:17] sudo -i [06:17] ? [06:17] in the username [06:17] tbwnoob: you should have googled "edubuntu live cd password" [06:18] i did [06:18] i got sudo -i [06:18] tbwnoob: second result says username ubuntu password blank [06:19] i tried that [06:19] really? [06:19] hrm... [06:19] *sigh* [06:19] edubuntu and blank password maybe? [06:19] you'd think they'd make it autologin like the ubuntu one [06:19] tried it [06:20] didnt work [06:20] sudo password root [06:20] or sudo -i [06:20] brb [06:20] right but you can't use sudo unless you are logged in === jono is now known as highvoltage === greeneggsnospam is now known as jsgotangco === dvanassche is now known as Nubae [16:52] does anyone know if the XO one laptop per child could run as a thin terminal client? [16:54] Nubae: well, it runs linuxbios, so I guess it would support etherboot [16:54] Nubae: but why would you want to? [16:56] well, for one because sugar is not really ready yet [16:56] and 2 because distributing content is the main aim right now various programs [16:57] personally, I would rather use a classmate PC if you want to use it for a very mobile thin client [16:57] I am looking at a volunteer position in Nepal, a pilot project with teh XO [16:57] it has nicer hardware. [16:57] aah. [16:57] government already has 200 laptops [16:57] great! [16:57] and I was thinking of how to apply my ltsp knowledge [16:57] :-) [16:58] the main problem they currently have is lack of content [16:58] anyway, the XO lacks an rj45 network port so... [16:59] ouch, I didn't realise that. [17:00] yeah relies entirely on mesh networking [17:00] do you plan to use any of the default system on the machines? [17:01] 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] 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] ie, squid, content filtering, web based moodle like distribution [17:02] Nubae: how much ram does that olpc have again? [17:02] well, maybe not if its all adhoc [17:02] 256, quite a lot [17:02] Nubae: ogra_cmpc has a nice scaled down edubuntu image for the classmate pc, maybe that could be modified for the olpc [17:02] cmpc also has just below 256MB RAM. [17:03] I have a small xubuntu image too, that works very fast [17:03] but edubuntu has the contnet, that's what interests them right now [17:03] nice. Xubuntu works nicely in schools, but it has to be locked down. I ran Xubuntu in >200 schools too. [17:04] what content specifically? [17:04] curriculum based stuff (science, geogrpahy, maths, english, etc.) [17:05] gcompris alone puts the current XO content to shame [17:05] hmm, so why not just include gcompris in your xubuntu image? [17:05] anyway, I have a meeting with them tomorrow and wanted to mention ltsp and its benefits [17:06] that I've done, but not sure if teh XO can do it... [17:07] yeah [17:07] well I hope it goes well. [17:08] yeah thanks, the XO is cool at least in spirit [17:08] 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. [17:09] 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] so slightly more ram wouldn't hurt either. [17:09] maybe low fat will work better due to wireless [17:12] * Nubae wonders if ltsp could distribute through a mesh [17:14] Nubae: hope this doesn't overshadow the sugar development: http://www.olpcnews.com/software/windows/xp_on_the_xo_in_60_days.html [17:15] yeah, people aren't too happy about that [17:15] in any case, the focus is on open source and open content, would be crazy to put XP on it [17:16] not to mention power consumption [17:20] anyway ubuntu has been ported to it too, as an image [17:21] they say it runs more smoothly than sugar [17:26] gah... http://radian.org/notebook/paradox-of-choice === RichEd-2 is now known as RichEd [17:56] RichEd, on a Sunday night!? [19:08] Hello [19:09] i found out something while installing Edubuntu 7.10 [19:09] well, i had ubuntu 7.10 installed and at my house i have a router and a wireless usb adapter [19:10] in ubuntu 7.10 i was sure i config'd it right but it didnt work [19:10] now, i am running edubuntu, and it works and i set it up like on ubuntu [19:11] any conclusions? [19:20] 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.... [19:21] anyone else have this problem? [19:30] does ms virtaul pc like edubuntu? , coz it just keeps stopping when installing [19:31] lulemurfan, try virtualbox [19:32] whats that? [19:33] * lulemurfan slaps lulemurfan with a Guppy Fish [19:37] guess :) [19:37] you're attempting to use virtualpc already, so you should have an idea :) [19:37] virtualbox is free to use, and seems to run linux well [19:38] oh right [19:38] i have no idea why or why not virtual pc gives issues [19:38] since i've never seen it in real life [19:38] but virtualbox is supposed to work nicely in both windows and linux [19:38] ok i'll try that [19:38] to run either mac or linux :) [19:38] and windows [19:39] sorry, got it backwards, it runs in mac/linux/windows to run either windows or linux [19:39] it can prolly run osx with hackery, but i don't know anything about it.. [19:39] all it want it to do is run linux on window [19:40] try virtualbox [19:40] :) [23:36] hey guys [23:36] does anyone know why my cpu fan would be shutting dow at startup and make my computer overheat [23:38] ? [23:52] okay [23:52] i guess there was a small wire blocking my fan [23:52] i unplugged it moved some wires and now it stays on' [23:52] anyone here? [23:59] try #ubuntu [23:59] 99% of questions that apply to edubuntu also apply to ubuntu, since it is mostly the same , except the education apps
