cameronoi, how do you configure the kernel in ubuntu06:17
cameronin gentoo i would cd /usr/src/linux, make menuconfig06:18
RichEd-1cameron: is that an edubuntu question or perhaps an ubuntu one ?06:18
cameroni figure it would be the same06:19
cameronplus i like smaller chat rooms06:19
cameronfeels more like a community06:19
RichEd-1smaller has it's plus' as well as its drawbacks ...06:19
RichEd-1ask the kernel Q in #ubuntu ... there are many more lower level tech guys there06:20
RichEd-1https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/ia64/kernel-baking.html06:22
RichEd-1http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/devel/kernel-source-2.4.2706:22
RichEd-1"You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing "make config" and following instructions"06:22
RichEd-1etc.06:23
RichEd-1see if those links help06:23
* RichEd-1 is rebooting06:23
LaserJockcameron: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile I think is maybe what you want06:24
cameronLaserJock: indeed.06:26

subsumealmost got my Ubuntu Fat clients working. super exciting.06:31
subsumeone issue is my thin client is booting into initramfs instead of the ubuntu desktop I installed06:31
subsumecould it be error with NFS?06:31
subsume(output scrolls too fast for me to see)06:31
LaserJockhiya RichEd06:36
RichEdmorning mr LaserJock06:36
LaserJocknot sure if you saw, but I gave cameron https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile to look at06:36
subsumehttp://dpaste.com/39773/06:37
RichEdah  ... thanks ... the links i popped up were clues, but not a direct match06:37
subsumeThat's my issue with the initramfs. I don't get why LTSP is serving it instead of my desktop!06:37
RichEdjust starting my day, still coffee deprived06:37
subsumeIts booting the contents of /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/ instead of /opt/ltsp/i386...what gives?06:40
LaserJockI thought that's what it was supposed to do06:40
kgoetzLaserJock: it is in ltsp4 (i'd help, but i dont know anything about 5)06:41
subsumeLaserJock: So what is the point of installing anything in /opt/ltsp/i386.... if its just going to give me a RAM fs?06:41
subsume...a RAM fs from the tftpboot dir.06:41
LaserJockwell, I know what it's for on a thin client06:42
LaserJocknot sure on a fat client what'd do06:42
LaserJockhmm, maybe it would be similar06:42
subsumeYou don't do ltsp_update_image with a thin client?06:42
LaserJockyes you do06:42
subsumeso.... the stuff in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/ has nothing to do with that.06:43
LaserJocksure it does06:43
LaserJockthat's the kernel/initramfs that the client boots06:43
subsumebut /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/ is a different system than /opt/ltsp/i38606:43
LaserJockthen /opt/ltsp/i386/ is the chroot it botts into06:43
subsumeI see.06:43
LaserJockyeah, but that's not a problem06:44
subsumewell its not doing a very good job. i'm getting dumped into this darn initramfs06:44
LaserJockit's just where tftp finds the kernel to boot06:44
subsumeI wish I could see the startup messages on the client06:45
subsumemaybe there is an error triggering this06:45
subsumeLaserJock: maybe NFS failed?06:46
LaserJockI guess that would be a possibility06:46
LaserJockI've not really ever run an LTSP setup so I'm just guessing from what I've read/heard06:47
subsumeLaserJock: any theory how I can get my startup messages from client to server?06:48
LaserJockI don't think you can06:49
subsumewell initramfs doesn't keep startup error logs06:49
LaserJockbecause you probably don't have the backward connection setup yet, I'm guessing anyway06:49
subsumeJeez. this bites.06:50
subsumestupid ram FS06:51
johnnytell it all to log to remote syslog?06:59

moquistI'm experimenting with diskless thick clients. I've done 'apt-get ubuntu-desktop' in the chroot (this is feisty, actually) and I'm wondering if anybody has any OTOHH advice for me about problems I'll have before I have a workable kiosk-like system.18:50

theunixgeekHow do I upgrade to GNOME 2.22?22:42
LaserJockweird questions today22:54

LaserJocknot so much weird I guess as really off topic22:55
stgraberI guess it's hard to know what's Ubuntu and what's Edubuntu related22:56
LaserJockogra_cmpc: this debian squeak package is a bit interesting as well23:50
LaserJockogra_cmpc: it's got about 1MB worth of dpatches in debian/patches/23:50
