| joebake1 | I want to install server johnny_ because this laptop has a dual core centrino with 3 gigs of RAM and it is screaming fast. So I'm thinking of demonstrating it as an LTSP server. | 00:28 |
| stgraber | RichEd-2: I have something that will be useful with classmates and similar setups using iTalc. I have a working avahi integration script that should work with both LTSP setups and workstations setups. | 00:36 |
| stgraber | RichEd-2: I have that working with ugly bash scripts, will write something cleaner tomorrow (probably using python) | 00:37 |
| RichEd-2 | great :) i'm busy testing the classmate now ...got a few minor hassles ... working through them | 00:38 |
| RichEd-2 | maybe you have an idea on this one ... | 00:39 |
| RichEd-2 | i can configure the wireless network manually on the command line using iwconfig and ifconfig | 00:39 |
| RichEd-2 | but network manager says wlan0 does not exist | 00:40 |
| RichEd-2 | so i am having to reconfigure the wlan each time i rebot | 00:40 |
| RichEd-2 | *reboot | 00:40 |
| RichEd-2 | bit of a pain | 00:40 |
| stgraber | and the NIC name doesn't change ? or is something like wlan0_rename at some point (that's the kind of weird thing I had with some intel NICs) | 00:41 |
| stgraber | NM logs everything in syslog so you should be able to get more details from it | 00:45 |
| * RichEd-2 wil look | 00:50 | |

| ioanna | i'm wondering if anyone may be able to help me | 04:28 |
| ioanna | i run a tiny private school and need help with download and installation | 04:30 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ioanna, i'm sure someone can try and help out | 04:31 |
| ioanna | thanks | 04:32 |
| ioanna | i don't have a working CD drive, can i still install it from just the simple download | 04:33 |
| ioanna | or do i save it to a zip drive, or what is recommended | 04:33 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | you need to install from cdrom. either an ubuntu cd or an edubuntu cd can be used, because you can download some extra tools onto an ubuntu system and make it into edubuntu | 04:34 |
| ioanna | i cant do that as i dont have a working CD drive | 04:35 |
| ioanna | im currently downloading edubuntu 7.10 | 04:35 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | its posable to network install, but thats much more complicated | 04:36 |
| ioanna | so in other words, i will need to hire someone to install ubuntu | 04:36 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | or find a working cd burner/cdrom (to burn and install off) | 04:38 |
| ioanna | okay | 04:39 |
| ioanna | thanks | 04:39 |
| johnny | or a big usb flash drive possibly.. | 04:39 |
| johnny | 1gb | 04:39 |
| ioanna | who could i ask who would know for sure if i could use a flash drive | 04:40 |
| johnny | the internet? | 04:40 |
| johnny | a working cdrom drive is a good thing to have tho | 04:40 |
| johnny | and they are cheap | 04:41 |
| ioanna | my firmware is corrupted for both my cd and dvd drives | 04:41 |
| ioanna | i have a hacked windows box | 04:41 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | flash sticks are a bit iffy, as bios has to support it | 04:42 |
| johnny | yes.. the bios has to support it for sure | 04:42 |
| ioanna | i see | 04:42 |
| johnny | usually private schools .. even tiny ones can afford to spend the $10-20 USD to get a new cd drive tho.. | 04:44 |
| ioanna | how do you install the driver tho | 04:45 |
| ioanna | for the new drive :P | 04:46 |
| johnny | they don't need drivers | 04:46 |
| johnny | for windows nor linux | 04:46 |
| ioanna | ah, okay | 04:47 |
| johnny | which windows/ | 04:47 |
| johnny | ? | 04:47 |
| ioanna | XP | 04:47 |
| johnny | then you just need an iso burn option | 04:47 |
| johnny | there's a free utility mentioned | 04:47 |
| johnny | on the ubuntu install doc | 04:47 |
| ioanna | i will look that up, thank you | 04:48 |
| johnny | sadly windows xp doesn't let you do it by default :( | 04:48 |
| ioanna | naturally | 04:49 |
| ioanna | bbiab, thanks for your help | 04:51 |
