Ahmuckhi.  if the server motherboard does not have sound, does the ltsp client that does have onboard sound produce sound ?02:24
stgraberAhmuck: should be03:02
Ahmuckstgraber: thx.  found the anser ealier in #ltsp03:07
Ahmuckmy final question.  i'd like to offer ubuntu, kubuntu and opengeu as desktops, perhaps xubuntu as well.  these all have sepearate menus.  in my testing after "sudo aptitude install kubuntu" i noticed kubuntu items with ubuntu items.  is there a way to isolate menus03:36
Ahmuckwell, next to final.  i assume there is a way to "strip" out menu items that require super user access?03:36
Ahmucki assume that i can do normal partitioning, (/, /home, /var, /tmp, /usr/local)?03:52
HedgeMageAhmuck: they are only presented to people in the sudoers file anyway03:56
AhmuckHedgeMage: thx u, thx u03:56
Ahmucki was logging in as a sudoer and noticed the menu selection, have not got as far to test with a  normal user03:57
HedgeMagenp03:58

Net_Did you have a meeting on Wednesday?10:55
mssmsshi there13:23
mssmssI can't seem to get more than 2 thin clients boot at once on 8.04.01. looks like dhcp is crawling13:25
mssmsslooks like other people had the same problem13:27
mssmsshttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2008-September/002649.html13:27
mssmssbut could not find any solution ...13:27
mssmssanyone know about this ?13:27
mssmssI can get multiple clients to work if I turn on one, wait until it is completely booted, then turn on the next one...13:29
mssmsslogs show dhcp DISCOVER/OFFER messaged long after the client has booted, coming in at 15 s intervals13:29
mssmssanyone here ?13:31
mssmssanyone familiar with ltsp edubuntu 8.04.1 ?13:47
nubaefamiliar, yes, but your problem doesn't sound familiar13:55
nubaemssmss: do you have remote logging enabled?13:58
mssmssyou mean for the log files ?14:06
nubaeyes14:06
mssmssnot sure .. did not touch a thing on the server .... standard installation 8.04.1 of Edubuntu with only network config done ...\14:07
nubaethen it should be ok... did u try upgrading to the latest sets of packages14:08
mssmssother people have seen the same issues with dhcp ...link I posted above14:08
nubaeenabling hardy-updates14:08
mssmssno.....don't have internet in the location yet .. installed from a CD ..am in India ...but the school is in a rural area with scant internet connectivity14:09
nubaehmmm, I would advise ordering the intrepid ibex CD14:10
nubaehardy is known to have some issues, and without updates, it could be anything...14:10
mssmssbut does it not have a shorter support cycle ? also is it an upgrade from Hardy or should I do a completely new install ?14:10
nubaeu can upgrade I believe... it does have a shorter support cycle, but if you cannot do upgrades from the internet, I dont think you have to worry about that ;-)14:12
nubaeanyway intrepid is supported for 18 months14:12
mssmss:-)14:14
mssmsshopefully it's only a short term issue ...hoping to see some connectivity within the next six months14:14
Ahmuckgood morning.  i'm looking for "boot rom?".  is anyone familiar with this method?14:41
Ahmucki understand i can install a chip on the nic.  does the chip have boot rom already on it or does one flash the nic to get the boot rom there?14:41
sbalneavMorning all17:04
Ahmuckgood morning18:29

Ahmucknubae: on a fat client setup does one need the same amount of memory on the server?  processing power?  or is that all offloaded to the client?22:30
Ahmucki'm getting ready to ditch the server idea if i can offload to 1Ghz clients22:35
Ahmuckand make them fat clients.  the 1Ghz clients will only cost me 50.00/machine22:35
