| johnny | lns, i did that | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| johnny | it just put the stuff in /etc/firefox | 00:20 |
| johnny | nobody gets prompted | 00:20 |
| johnny | ohnny@emma:~$ ls /etc/firefox-3.0/profile/adblockplus/ | 00:20 |
| johnny | patterns-backup1.ini patterns.ini | 00:20 |
| lns | johnny, you did what, just installed adblock-plus? no other steps? | 00:20 |
| lns | oh | 00:20 |
| lns | ;) | 00:20 |
| johnny | i copied the files in there | 00:21 |
| johnny | after installing it globally via apt-get | 00:21 |
| lns | nice | 00:21 |
| johnny | not necessarily a good idea to rely on apt-get for firefox extensions.. | 00:21 |
| johnny | but that's ok for now i guess | 00:21 |
| lns | thank you..that'll save me a lot of headache (not to mention the teachers and techs) | 00:21 |
| lns | johnny, why not? | 00:21 |
| johnny | because who knows what'll happen when firefox itself sees another update for it | 00:22 |
| johnny | when a new version comes out | 00:22 |
| lns | true.. | 00:22 |
| lns | i'd hope the .deb would have some functionality to disable the checking for updates through ff | 00:22 |
| johnny | it's never a good idea to maintain auto updating apps | 00:22 |
| johnny | in two places | 00:22 |
| johnny | same deal with using cpan for perl vs perl modules that are in debs due to deps on other packages | 00:23 |
| johnny | etc | 00:23 |
| johnny | it's not really a solvable problem atm | 00:23 |
| newmonky | Is there any sort of Live CD for edubuntu? | 05:01 |
| nixternal | newmonky: no LiveCD, just an addon CD | 05:34 |
| nixternal | you can try to install the edubuntu-desktop from an Ubuntu LiveCD, but I don't know if allowed drive space permits | 05:35 |
| newmonky | Ok thanks | 05:39 |
| newmonky | I wanted to show it to my girlfriend (a schoolteacher), but we don't have a computer that we can format | 05:39 |
| johnny | newmonky, you can dual boot, or use wubi | 05:42 |
| johnny | wubi might be better | 05:42 |
| johnny | or you could use virtual machine software | 05:42 |
| johnny | like virtualbox or vmware | 05:42 |
| johnny | wubi is prolly simplest, if it works | 05:42 |
| johnny | i have heard it does, but i haven't used it | 05:43 |
| newmonky | I can combine Wubi and edubuntu? | 05:43 |
| johnny | yes | 05:43 |
| johnny | edubuntu is just extra packages | 05:44 |
| johnny | you can just install them | 05:44 |
| johnny | there's prolly some meta package that pulls it all in | 05:44 |
| johnny | it might be edubuntu-desktop | 05:45 |
| newmonky | Ok thank you | 05:46 |
| newmonky | I am wubing | 05:46 |
| newmonky | If only I was not a gamer, then I could just reformat | 05:46 |
| johnny | you could dual boot.. | 05:47 |
| johnny | more and more stuff works on wine tho | 05:48 |
| johnny | guys are doing a bangup job | 05:48 |
| newmonky | I have heard good things about wine | 05:48 |
| newmonky | Open Source in general seems to be getting really good | 05:50 |
| newmonky | Maybe I will dual boot eventually, I love the list of things you can add to Linux | 05:51 |
| johnny | yeah.. the haters are all disappearing.. :) | 05:53 |
| newmonky | Steve Balmer will not disappear | 05:55 |
| johnny | sure.. but he's near irrelevant now | 06:00 |
| newmonky | Thanks again, I am off to bed (and downloading it) | 06:32 |

| dean_za | Hi , I tried setting up a kiosk and since then all my clients are getting the kiosk image from nbd_server , I have since removed all traces of kiosk to try get my default install working and I cant seem to find where nbd_server is getting its info. Any one have any ideas ? | 09:22 |
| RichEdcmpc | hi ... ogra you around ? | 10:29 |

| Intrelude | hello | 19:57 |
| Intrelude | anyone here? | 19:57 |
| Intrelude | I installed 8.04 server. I didn't get the desktop, so went through and installed the graphical desktop and now the edubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-server packages | 19:59 |
| Intrelude | I'm new... I click on System -> Admin and I don't see where/how to modify/setup thin clients | 20:00 |
| Intrelude | oh.. after installing desktop and server, I installed LTSP-manager, still don't see anything. | 20:00 |
| Intrelude | also, eth0 is connected to a switch. How do I set up DHCP so that it serves IPs on eth0. eth1 is my connection to my school network (windows pcs). | 20:01 |
| johnny | ltsp-manager shouldn't even be there.. | 20:40 |
