[08:15] <nubae1> http://educamp2008.mixxt.de/networks/wiki/index.themenvorschlaege-ec08-2
[18:38] <nubae> welcome Lns
[18:39] <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 :-)
[18:43] <Lns> nubae: url me!
[18:43] <Lns> it's been quiet all around for me this week so far..its eerie
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <Lns> oh ok
[18:46] <nubae> let me know if u find any errors/fixes...
[18:54] <Lns> nubae: np..on the phone
[18:55] <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]
[19:10] <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?
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <GJ> I looked for lts.conf but couldn't find it. Where is it located?
[19:24] <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/.
[19:37] <Lns> GJ: it's located at /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf - if it's not there, you can create it
[19:39] <Lns> GJ: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html (although the location in that link is out of date)
[19:40] <GJ> That's the very page I was looking at. I found it confusing.
[19:41] <GJ> And I'm not sure what to put in the file to get the video adapter to quit shutting off the monitor.
[19:42] <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.
[19:45] <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?
[19:46] <Lns> GJ: CTRL+ALT+F1
[19:46] <GJ> OK
[20:07] <Deanr> Can anyone help me with my Ubuntu's slow WAN issue
[20:10] <Deanr> ??
[21:21] <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?
[21:27] <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?
[21:28] <Lns> GJ: did you ltsp-update-image and reboot TC(s) ?
[21:28] <GJ> I didn't know I had to do that!
[21:30] <Lns> GJ: I would recommend studying http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/server.html
[21:31] <Lns> GJ: Particularly http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html
[21:59] <GJ> I did ltsp-update-image and rebooted TC. Now I get the message "Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator"
[22:01] <Lns> GJ: blargh..i forget how to get past this...i know there's a way though.
[22:02] <GJ> Ah! Found it. One of the FAQs says to unlock the account with passwd -u. I'll try that.
[22:10] <GJ> I suppose I have to do ltsp-update-image again even though the FAQ doesn't say so.
[22:19] <GJ> Yep! Unlocking the root account in chroot and then doing ltsp-update-image worked.
[22:22] <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?
