[01:00] <quittt> hello
[01:00] <quittt> what is edubuntu for?
[01:07] <infiniti_guy> i have an ltsp question re: hardy 8.04
[01:08] <infiniti_guy> had a problem with localdev.. usb flash drive appeared when inserted on thin client but could not read files (jpg)
[01:08] <infiniti_guy> i followed this page... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev
[01:09] <infiniti_guy> and now, after settig the chroot root passwd, the thin client gets a permission denied error when booting...
[01:09] <infiniti_guy> hmm...
[01:09] <infiniti_guy> any ideas?
[01:10] <infiniti_guy> ok.. running amd64 platform.. and noticed an $ARCH error in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (was set to /opt/ltsp/i386 by default.. should be amd64
[01:10] <infiniti_guy> wondering if it's the same issue after the ltsp-update-image command
[01:12] <infiniti_guy> ??
[01:29] <infinitiguy> Can anyone help with a LTSP issue in Hardy 8.04?
[01:47] <infinitiguy> Anyone help with ltsp chroot problem?
[07:07] <Muhammad_Saad> Hello, I need a screen magnifier. Which application should I install?
[07:08] <LaserJock> I believe there is a default app installed for that
[07:08] <kgoetz> gnome ships with one (so i assume edubuntu does too)
[07:08] <Muhammad_Saad> which one?
[07:08] <LaserJock> Muhammad_Saad: you might have to edit the menu for it to show up
[07:08] <Muhammad_Saad> what command?
[07:08] <LaserJock> perhaps orca?
[07:09]  * kgoetz should boot up the edubuntu lappy and find out, but you can probably do without
[07:10] <Muhammad_Saad> I have found it.
[07:12] <Muhammad_Saad> What does "Enable echo by word" mean?
[13:40] <czubek> hi all
[15:50] <generalsnus> heyas guys
[15:59] <generalsnus> ok, 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 possible
[16:04] <RichEd> generalsnus: i think that's possible ... an accurate answer would come from highvoltage, ogra_cmpc, kgoetz
[16:04] <RichEd> or else across in #ltsp ... which is the core LTSP we bundle
[16:07] <RichEd> generalsnus: check this out ?

[16:30] <jsgotangco> RichEd: hello :)
[16:31] <RichEd> hey jsgotangco :)
[16:32] <jsgotangco> what's keeping you busy lately
[17:37] <musashi> i 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?
[17:42] <generalsnus> musashi:
[17:42] <musashi> yes?
[17:42] <generalsnus> id like to know how you got  AD auth to work :9
[17:43] <musashi> ah, that was a bit of trick and i had a lot of help
[17:43] <generalsnus> struggeling with that now :/
[17:43] <musashi> there was a "how to" that we ended up mostly following.
[17:43] <musashi> if you give me an email i can find it (might need to contact my helper" and send it to you.
[17:44] <generalsnus> sure
[17:45] <generalsnus> got it?
[17:46] <musashi> oh, yeah, i see it. i'm email the guy who helped me and cc-ing you.
[17:46] <generalsnus> kk
[17:47] <generalsnus> got a plan to use 2k3 auth here.. with thin clients and edubuntu workstations
[17:49] <musashi> okay, checks in the mail. he is often busy so it may be a couple days before we hear back - or not, you never know.
[17:50] <musashi> any 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.
[17:51] <musashi> ps aux | grep <username> wasn't much help
[17:52] <generalsnus> hmm
[17:55]  * generalsnus is googleing as crazy
[17:56] <musashi> despite 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.
