Muhammad_SaadHello, I need a screen magnifier. Which application should I install?07:07
LaserJockI believe there is a default app installed for that07:08
kgoetzgnome ships with one (so i assume edubuntu does too)07:08
Muhammad_Saadwhich one?07:08
LaserJockMuhammad_Saad: you might have to edit the menu for it to show up07:08
Muhammad_Saadwhat command?07:08
LaserJockperhaps orca?07:08
* kgoetz should boot up the edubuntu lappy and find out, but you can probably do without07:09
Muhammad_SaadI have found it.07:10

generalsnusok, i could use a little input here..  we have about 30 thin clients and 2 thin client servers and a file/LDAP server(profiles) ...today we use "Skolelinux" but we where planning to change to edubuntu ..but we also want to have about 20 workstations, that should authenticate agains a ldap server.. is this possible with the use of edubuntu?  we could also use our 2k3 server for authentication..if thats possible15:59
RichEdgeneralsnus: i think that's possible ... an accurate answer would come from highvoltage, ogra_cmpc, kgoetz16:04
RichEdor else across in #ltsp ... which is the core LTSP we bundle16:04
RichEdgeneralsnus: check this out ?16:07

jsgotangcowhat's keeping you busy lately16:32
musashii have a feisty thin-client lab set up. students auth against AD. occasionally, a student has trouble. they can log in but nothing happens - blank screen or the computer acts frozen. sometimes they get a message like "firefox cannot be started because it is already running". logging in to the server and running top i usually can't see anything suggesting a problem. is there a better way to...17:37
musashi...see why this might be happening?17:37
generalsnusmusashi:17:42
musashiyes?17:42
generalsnusid like to know how you got  AD auth to work :917:42
musashiah, that was a bit of trick and i had a lot of help17:43
generalsnusstruggeling with that now :/17:43
musashithere was a "how to" that we ended up mostly following.17:43
musashiif you give me an email i can find it (might need to contact my helper" and send it to you.17:43
generalsnussure17:44
generalsnusgot it?17:45
musashioh, yeah, i see it. i'm email the guy who helped me and cc-ing you.17:46
generalsnuskk17:46
generalsnusgot a plan to use 2k3 auth here.. with thin clients and edubuntu workstations17:47
musashiokay, checks in the mail. he is often busy so it may be a couple days before we hear back - or not, you never know.17:49
musashiany idea how i can figure out what's causing some users to freeze? is there a better tool than top to see running processes - especially if i can grep for the user in question or something.17:50
musaships aux | grep <username> wasn't much help17:51
generalsnushmm17:52
* generalsnus is googleing as crazy17:55
musashidespite the fact that a user was logged in but the system wasn't responding, ps aux didn't show anything for that user. that's why i'm wondering about a better option or if using AD gets in the way of this. "users" "who" etc only returns me and none of the other logged in users.17:56
