[00:20] <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> ;)
[00:21] <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?
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[05:01] <newmonky> Is there any sort of Live CD for edubuntu?
[05:34] <nixternal> newmonky: no LiveCD, just an addon CD
[05:35] <nixternal> you can try to install the edubuntu-desktop from an Ubuntu LiveCD, but I don't know if allowed drive space permits
[05:39] <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
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <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
[05:45] <johnny> it might be edubuntu-desktop
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <johnny> you could dual boot..
[05:48] <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
[05:50] <newmonky> Open Source in general seems to be getting really good
[05:51] <newmonky> Maybe I will dual boot eventually, I love the list of things you can add to Linux
[05:53] <johnny> yeah.. the haters are all disappearing.. :)
[05:55] <newmonky> Steve Balmer will not disappear
[06:00] <johnny> sure.. but he's near irrelevant now
[06:32] <newmonky> Thanks again, I am off to bed (and downloading it)
[08:58] <[W][3][B]> !help
[09:22] <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 ?
[10:29] <RichEdcmpc> hi ... ogra you around ?
[19:57] <Intrelude> hello
[19:57] <Intrelude> anyone here?
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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.
[20:01] <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).
[20:40] <johnny> ltsp-manager shouldn't even be there..
