| Trailbrain | Ok I'm downloading the upgrade off of system update. It says it's going to take like a day. I've also downloaded the ISO file and have 8.10 on a CD. Can I upgrade from the CD | 02:29 |
|---|---|---|
| HedgeMage | Trailbrain: yes, but you need the Ubuntu CD and the Edubuntu add-on CD | 02:30 |
| HedgeMage | you can't do it with just the edu addons | 02:30 |
| Trailbrain | Is there a how-to online somewhere? | 02:33 |
| HedgeMage | I have no idea, but it's just a couple of steps... | 02:34 |
| HedgeMage | Put in the Ubuntu 8.10 CD and add it to your apt sources, then do the same with the edu addon CD | 02:35 |
| HedgeMage | Now click the upgrade button and it will prefer the local sources to the remote ones | 02:35 |
| HedgeMage | it may make you switch between the two CDs once or twice | 02:35 |
| Trailbrain | how do I add it to apt sources? | 02:36 |
| HedgeMage | ummm... let me look up the gui method... I'm old school, I do all this from the command line :) | 02:37 |
| HedgeMage | Trailbrain: From Synaptic choose Edit -> Add CDROM | 02:38 |
| Trailbrain | I can command line --- cut and paste--I mean | 02:38 |
| HedgeMage | Trailbrain: note that the disc must be in the drive before you do that so synaptic can find it :) | 02:38 |
| HedgeMage | Trailbrain: in the command line, you edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file, but the gui is probably easier for you :) | 02:40 |

| generalsnus | ok, so i have installed edubuntu 8.10 in vmware, with 2 nic's 1 for thinclients and 1 for internet ... the thinclients work ok, but i am not getting any internet connection. ifconfig tells me that i have IP 192.168.0.254 on both nic's , how can i change one to dhcp? in the network manager it only says "ifupdown" | 13:45 |
| sbalneav | generalsnus: Should be able to change it in System->Administration->Network | 14:22 |
| Eeyore-Jr | does edubuntu allow fine control over network services? printing, chat, internet, etc or must that be done elsewhere? | 14:25 |
| Eeyore-Jr | hrm, i'd forgotten yesterday was release day | 14:28 |
| sbalneav | Define "fine control". Certainly you can start/stop individual services, or block access to them from the network via iptables, or the like. | 14:36 |
| sbalneav | Eeyore-Jr: Can you be a bit more specific? | 14:40 |
| Eeyore-Jr | per user | 14:42 |
| Eeyore-Jr | for example, i want joe to use chat, as he uses it for info on technical questions, but don't want mary or george, because they use it to gossip | 14:43 |
| sbalneav | Several ways you could accomplish that. | 14:44 |
| sbalneav | Either through access to the chat program through group permissions | 14:45 |
| sbalneav | or with some kind of authenticating proxy. | 14:45 |
| sbalneav | This at a school, or a business? | 14:45 |
| Eeyore-Jr | business, but will have kids coming in after school | 14:45 |
| Eeyore-Jr | it's a community lab | 14:46 |
| Eeyore-Jr | built for use by the community with all free software | 14:46 |
| Eeyore-Jr | it's really a starting ground for some usablity testing and idea testing | 14:46 |
| sbalneav | There's multiple different ways to accomplish it. | 14:48 |
| sbalneav | GIYF | 14:48 |
| Eeyore-Jr | giyf? | 14:48 |
| * Eeyore-Jr googles giyf | 14:48 | |
| Eeyore-Jr | bleh | 14:49 |
| sbalneav | Google is your friend | 14:50 |
| Eeyore-Jr | google is like a friend with ADHD | 14:52 |
| Eeyore-Jr | up speed for *untu torrents today about 8 KB/s, for edubuntu add-on 0 KB/s :( | 16:00 |
| sbalneav | I downloaded the final intrepid CD last night in about 20 minutes. | 16:08 |
| sbalneav | My speed was great | 16:09 |
| RickZilla | I just upgraded my ubuntu distro to 8.10, but I also have edubuntu 8.04...did my recent upgrade automatically update edubuntu to 8.10, or should I do that manually? | 21:46 |
| HedgeMage | RickZilla: how did you upgrade... using the button in the update manager? | 21:51 |
| RickZilla | HedgeMage: Yes...I got my answer over in the ubuntu channel...turns out edubuntu upgrades simultaneously | 21:52 |
| HedgeMage | yep, that's what I was about to tell you | 21:52 |
| HedgeMage | Happy Halloween! | 21:52 |
| * HedgeMage waves and departs | 21:52 | |
| Eeyore-Jr | how does ltsp comply with CIPA | 22:07 |
| Eeyore-Jr | or specifically edubuntu | 22:08 |
| Lns | Eeyore-Jr: see #ltsp reply..ltsp/edubuntu has nothing to do with complying to content filtering standards | 22:24 |
| Eeyore-Jr | edubuntu is "education" or geared to that, so i would have expected it to address those type of issues i guess | 22:25 |
| Lns | Eeyore-Jr: there are plenty of external applications to take care of this that aren't part of the edubuntu project (which is basically a subset of desktop applications and themes that sit on top of ubuntu) | 22:26 |
| Lns | I guess it wouldn't be out of the question to bring some "recommended" content filtering system into edubuntu, but that's really not the focus of the project | 22:26 |
