| Lns | nubae: haha, hello | 18:39 |
| nubae | boy has it been quiet on irc today... | 18:39 |
| nubae | btw... the new ltsp manual is up on launchpad with some of your stuff in it :-) | 18:39 |
| Lns | nubae: url me! | 18:43 |
| Lns | it's been quiet all around for me this week so far..its eerie | 18:43 |
| nubae | https://code.launchpad.net/~ltsp-docwriters/ltsp/ltsp-docs-trunk | 18:44 |
| nubae | you can bazaar it down or grab it directley I believe | 18:44 |
| nubae | yeah... eerie indeed | 18:45 |
| * Lns hasn't used bazaar before | 18:45 | |
| nubae | just do bzr branch lp:~ltsp-docwriters/ltsp/ltsp-docs-trunk | 18:45 |
| nubae | install bzr first I guess | 18:45 |
| Lns | oh ok | 18:46 |
| nubae | let me know if u find any errors/fixes... | 18:46 |
| Lns | nubae: np..on the phone | 18:54 |
| Lns | nubae: thank you for including my docs, too =) i'll probably update the docs for the user/group section to use default Gnome users/groups admin after https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/259163 is fixed | 18:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 259163 in gnome-system-tools "users-admin does not sort when Name/Login/Homedir field clicked" [Undecided,New] | 18:55 |
| GJ | My computer lab is running Edubuntu 8.04. I have 19 thin clients that boot OK, but three of them the monitor shuts off just before the login screen appears. What might cause that? | 19:10 |
| Lns | GJ: sounds like they're not getting the right sync vars from X | 19:17 |
| Lns | GJ: might want to look at passing some X variables through lts.conf for those monitors based on the TCs' MAC addresses | 19:17 |
| GJ | I looked for lts.conf but couldn't find it. Where is it located? | 19:18 |
| GJ | I should say I found it (in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc), but when I checked what was in it, I saw that it shoud be in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/. | 19:24 |
| Lns | GJ: it's located at /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf - if it's not there, you can create it | 19:37 |
| Lns | GJ: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html (although the location in that link is out of date) | 19:39 |
| GJ | That's the very page I was looking at. I found it confusing. | 19:40 |
| GJ | And I'm not sure what to put in the file to get the video adapter to quit shutting off the monitor. | 19:41 |
| Lns | GJ: looks like lts.conf vars " X_HORZSYNC" and " X_VERTREFRESH" might be of help, if the sync is the issue - you'll want to verify by adding a root PW in the chroot (if you haven't already), log in on TTY1 on the thinclient, and looking at the xorg logs to see why it's failing. | 19:42 |
| GJ | I remember reading about that root PW in chroot somewhere. Now I don't remember where I saw it. However, I can't see anything on the monitor after Edubuntu boots so how would I log on TTY1? | 19:45 |
| Lns | GJ: CTRL+ALT+F1 | 19:46 |
| GJ | OK | 19:46 |
| Deanr | Can anyone help me with my Ubuntu's slow WAN issue | 20:07 |
| Deanr | ?? | 20:10 |
| Lns | Has anyone had the issue of users crashing in OpenOffice.org and not being able to re-launch, with no OOffice processes running and removing their ~/.openoffice2.org config dirs? | 21:21 |
| GJ | I set a password for root in chroot. Then at the client I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to bring up TTY1. Using root as the ltsp login and using the password I set, the result is Login Incorrect. What am I doing wrong? | 21:27 |
| Lns | GJ: did you ltsp-update-image and reboot TC(s) ? | 21:28 |
| GJ | I didn't know I had to do that! | 21:28 |
| Lns | GJ: I would recommend studying http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/server.html | 21:30 |
| Lns | GJ: Particularly http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html | 21:31 |
| GJ | I did ltsp-update-image and rebooted TC. Now I get the message "Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator" | 21:59 |
| Lns | GJ: blargh..i forget how to get past this...i know there's a way though. | 22:01 |
| GJ | Ah! Found it. One of the FAQs says to unlock the account with passwd -u. I'll try that. | 22:02 |
| GJ | I suppose I have to do ltsp-update-image again even though the FAQ doesn't say so. | 22:10 |
| GJ | Yep! Unlocking the root account in chroot and then doing ltsp-update-image worked. | 22:19 |
| GJ | Now that I can get in as root@ltsp, I'd like to look for what you mentioned earlier. Too bad, the school experienced a power failure between your earlier comments and the present, because the power failure resulted in the loss of your comments. How did you say I could discover what is making my monitor go to sleep? | 22:22 |
