| MikeD | Hello? | 02:24 |
|---|---|---|
| MikeD | Looking for a little help on edubuntu server. WIll leave irc running. WIll check from time to time. Thanks! | 02:27 |
| bimberi | MikeD: Hi, just ask your question. If someone knows they'll answer. | 02:35 |
| MikeD | Thanks. I am familiar with k12ltsp. I LOVE Ubuntu desktop. I was trying to set up EDUbuntu LTSP. I am eaither trying to hard, or this is really too hard. Installed it 3 or 4 time. Comes to text login. Logged in fine. That's it? After reading many forums, found I had to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Did that. I am using a Dell 1600 with 1 gig ram and a 36 g scsi drive. 2 nic cards. one worksation with PXE capabilit | 02:45 |
| MikeD | Goal is to set up demo system ofr several non profits and day care centers. (pre-k to about 10 yrs old). Was hoping Edubuntu was THE solution. It HAS to have a GUI and be easy enough for neophytes (non techies) to administer. Unless I'm missising soemthing, this is not ready for "stick a disk in a server and make it go" for non techies. Is that where Edubuntu really is at this point? | 03:01 |
| MikeD | Server is fired up right behind me. Forgive my rant. | 03:05 |
| neil_d | I am setting up a ubuntu+ltsp system, would It be any better to run the clients with the xfce desktop instead of gnome ? | 03:36 |
| MikeD | Biel, I'm also waiting on some of the "brains" to appear. I think they are all out partying tonight. :) | 03:38 |
| MikeD | Neil | 03:38 |
| neil_d | MikeD: hi, do you have a LTSP setup ? | 03:39 |
| MikeD | Can't make it work yet. | 03:39 |
| MikeD | That's what I am trying to do | 03:40 |
| neil_d | I didn't have much trouble, what wrong ? | 03:40 |
| MikeD | Installed Ubuntu alt cd. gave me text logon. That was end? Did sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop to get gui. Dell server . 2 nics, hub, one pxe workstation. Just tring to get the worsation to connect. | 03:43 |
| neil_d | have you a gui now ? | 03:43 |
| MikeD | yes | 03:44 |
| neil_d | good ! installed the ltsp packages ? | 03:44 |
| MikeD | ? from where? | 03:44 |
| neil_d | with synaptic would be easiest | 03:44 |
| MikeD | Neil -brb. Installed Ubuntu alt cd and pakages for add on cd so far. Is ther emore for LTSP? | 03:46 |
| MikeD | back | 03:48 |
| neil_d | do you have ltsp-server or ltsp-server-standalone installed ? which one ? | 03:49 |
| neil_d | you also need openssh-server | 03:50 |
| MikeD | Let me back up. I know/used k12ltsp. I am NOT a linux gur. Have test server trying to set up Edubuntu server and make one pxe box talk to it via hub. Dell server with 2 nics. Installed Ubuntu 8.04 alt cd. It connect to my existing network on one nic. I had to install ubuntu-desktop to get gui. Installed some kids stuff form add on cd. Pxe box does not connect. Thtas all I have done. If there is more for LTSP - can you point m | 03:54 |
| neil_d | alright! one thing you need is a DHCP server, The server does it have static IP setup for both nics ? | 03:58 |
| * neil_d opps | 03:58 | |
| neil_d | I presume one nic is for internet access, one is for the terminals ? | 03:58 |
| MikeD | dunno, did default install. Asssume server gets DHCP IP for my network. It gets apps so it is working. No idea if other side works. I d/l dhcpd to server | 04:00 |
| MikeD | Neil - I can wipe and start over right now ..... | 04:01 |
| neil_d | ok! are you on irc from the server atm. | 04:01 |
| MikeD | no sir - windoze box 6 feet away ..... | 04:02 |
| neil_d | ok, | 04:03 |
| MikeD | So I can wipe and still talk to you | 04:03 |
| neil_d | have you run the ltsp-build-client script ? | 04:04 |
| MikeD | no. (where the hell is that?). Neil, I am trying to figure this out to explain to user that know less than me. I did what the Edubuntu site said, and butchered it by just reading forums and mailing lists. | 04:06 |
| neil_d | ok! start a terminal up. | 04:07 |
| MikeD | -Assume- I know nada. How hard is it to set up Edubuntu 8.04 on a new server with one p4/512 meg PXE box? | 04:08 |
| MikeD | with all defaults. Just making one boxen talk to blasted server? :) | 04:09 |
| neil_d | fairly simple most the complex stuff is done by various scripts. some customisation is needed. | 04:09 |
| neil_d | yes! but for that to work there is some setup to do. | 04:10 |
| neil_d | the less you know, about how linux works the more complex it appears. | 04:11 |
| MikeD | <sigh> thank you Neil. You have time to make this a virgin install work on a server/pxe box? | 04:12 |
| neil_d | ok do you have that terminal up? | 04:13 |
| MikeD | yez | 04:13 |
| MikeD | server up with gui, in shell | 04:14 |
| neil_d | type "ltsp" hit tab 2 times and a small list should appear. | 04:14 |
| MikeD | 'command not found" | 04:14 |
| neil_d | ok you don't have ltsp installled. do a "sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone" | 04:18 |
| neil_d | have you check the bios of the 'terminal' to make sure it can do a network boot ? | 04:19 |
| MikeD | invalid install ltsp-install retyped your commands several times | 04:28 |
| neil_d | have you used synaptic before ? | 04:40 |
| MikeD | oh yeah | 04:42 |
| neil_d | ok startup synaptic and do a search ltsp | 04:44 |
| MikeD | Neil. thank you so much for your time. I'm exhausted and going to bed. WIll be back tomorrow. I would really like to do this from a virgin install. I will need to do it again. Thank you! | 04:45 |
| neil_d | MikeD: ok, I dont think I will be here. bye | 04:46 |
| neil_d | I am setting up a ubuntu+ltsp system, would It be any better to run the clients with the xfce desktop instead of gnome ? | 04:48 |
