freetownanybody here using Promethean boards?01:33
sbalneavNo, link?01:34
freetownthis one should be good: http://www.prometheanworld.com/us/01:36
freetowni heard there was a beta for ActivStudio on Linux...and a promethean contact told me that they would finally be doing a release in a few months...and ubuntu was one of the platform distros01:37
freetownjust wondered if any here had a go with the beta01:37
sbalneavNot that I'm aware of.01:39
sbalneavThis cheeses me off to no end.01:40
sbalneavsbalneav@phobos:~/Devel/bzr/ltsp-docs-trunk$ docbook2txt LTSPManual.xml01:40
sbalneavUsing catalogs: /etc/sgml/catalog01:40
sbalneavUsing stylesheet: /usr/share/docbook-utils/docbook-utils.dsl#html01:40
sbalneavI'm trying to get plaintext docs for vagrant.01:40
sbalneavWHY'S IT USING THE HTML STYLESHEET?01:40
sbalneavstyupid Thang01:40
LaserJocksbalneav: you workin' tonight?02:52
sbalneavI am!03:18
sbalneavHot into the docs, ATM03:18
LaserJocksbalneav: lol, you actually use GNU/Linux? :-)04:45
sbalneavheh04:57
sbalneavLooking at the docs?04:57
sbalneavHold on, lemme push the latest, MUCH CLEANED UP docs...04:58
sbalneavLaserJock: pushed05:00
LaserJocksbalneav: pretty darn impressive05:05
sbalneavGetting there.05:07
sbalneavGetting it organized is surprisingly difficult05:08
LaserJocksbalneav: are you gonna put it up on ltsp.org when you're done?05:09
sbalneavThere's such a lot of disparate information in there.05:09
sbalneavAlready there05:09
sbalneavhttp://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream05:10
LaserJockah, cool05:11
sbalneavHere's an interesting one.05:12
sbalneavI'd like to get a plaintext formatted version of the docs (.txt file)05:12
sbalneavbut when I do docbook2txt LTSPManual.xml05:12
sbalneavit formats it with the html stylesheet.05:12
LaserJockhmm, interesting05:14
LaserJockI don't know that I've ever tried docbook2txt05:14
LaserJocksbalneav: you use sabayon or pesselus at all?05:58
sbalneavLaserJock: No, I just set up default panel entries06:00
LaserJocksbalneav: so you don't lock down at all?06:04
LaserJockI guess with your setting you can assume the users will behave better ;-)06:04
sbalneavyeah06:05
LaserJocksabayon seems to be really in bad shape06:07
LaserJockI wonder if Edubuntu could put some concerted effort into it06:07
sbalneavMorning all14:43
Fritz87hello everyone18:07
LnsHi Fritz8718:17
=== merriam_ is now known as merriam
LaserJockhello all19:10
sbalneavHey LaserJock19:11
LaserJockScottie!19:12
LaserJocksbalneav: are you wanting a package for the LTSP docs like now?19:13
LaserJocksbalneav: doh, lynx was the key to getting docbook2txt to work?19:14
sbalneavErrr19:14
sbalneavSure :)19:14
LaserJocklol19:14
sbalneavIt would be great if you could show me how to get something I could put in my PPA19:14
LaserJockI'm just wondering how close you are to feeling "done" with it19:14
sbalneavWell, if I could do it with my PPA, I could just update them whenever.19:14
sbalneavThey've got weeks and weeks of work until they're "done".... If ever :)19:15
LaserJockk19:15
LaserJockwell, at some point do you want it to go into Ubuntu?19:15
LaserJockwe could make it a dep of ltsp or something19:15
sbalneavWell, I guess my goal is to have something half-decent for inclusion in Jaunty19:16
sbalneavI'd say I'm at least 70% of the way there.19:16
sbalneavAt some point I'll hit 80%, then the 80/20 rule will kick in, but for now, I could have something "more or less" ready in another week or two19:16
LaserJockI don't see where you install the .txt version in your install rule19:16
sbalneavso if we start on the packaging now, that'd be great.19:17
sbalneavhow hard is it?19:17
LaserJockis what?19:17
sbalneavthe packaging part19:18
LaserJockoh, well I can get you one that will install in ~ 5min or so19:18
LaserJockgetting one that's perfect will take a bit of tweaking to make sure everything is all nice19:19
sbalneavYou are so beautiful... to me....19:19
LaserJockput just installing the pdf, html, and txt is trivial19:19
LaserJockit's getting it all set up with yelp that takes a bit more effort19:19
LaserJockas it's more than just dropping files in19:19
LaserJockbut not much more19:20
sbalneavwell, if we could just get  the (pdf,html,txt) files in /usr/share/doc/ltsp-docs, that'd be awesome.  The yelp thing would be perfectamundo.19:20
LaserJockwe should also install for Khelpcenter as well19:21
sbalneavyessir19:21
LaserJockyou know, just in case people are using that *other* DE19:21
sbalneavPhhht.19:21
* sbalneav looks around for Aaron Seigo19:21
LaserJockKhelpcenter uses HTML still I think19:22
sbalneavThat guy's like 10 feet tall, and can melt skyscrapers with hit *mind* man.19:22
LaserJockyou just need to drop a .desktop in the right I think19:22
sbalneavWe don't want to cheese him off.19:22
LaserJocklol19:22
sbalneavwhoops s/hit/his/19:23
sbalneavThat'll teach you to show up in #ltsp :)19:31
LaserJockI guess19:31
sbalneavWe'll have you writing code next.19:31
sbalneav:)19:31
LaserJocknuts ... all nuts I tell you19:31
sbalneavNah, just makes sense, if you're going to give me a hand with this, you might as well have permission to -trunk19:32
LaserJockit's a good thing you caught me on my birthday, I'm in a giving mood ;-)19:32
sbalneavIs it your Birfday today?19:32
* sbalneav slides LaserJock a pale amber carbonated beverage19:33
sbalneavHappy birthday!19:33
ograHAPPY BDAY !19:33
LaserJockyeah, I'm feeling old today19:33
sbalneavAll in favour of voting LaserJock a Fine Upstanding Citizen, and Capital Fellow, vote now!19:34
sbalneav++19:34
LaserJockyeah, exactly what I thought ;-p19:35
ogra++19:40
LnsLaserJock: Happy bday! *hands LJ another beer to doublefist*19:47
Moonstormdoes one even need a client with this?19:47
LaserJockMoonstorm: with Edubuntu?19:47
Moonstormwireless usb to vga adapter?19:47
Moonstormwouldn't one be able to open a session on the server?19:48
Moonstormhttp://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=1525&sku=29572&cm_mmc_o=HC4zbkCjC8bywkwll%20JmP%20VyBFB%20C%20niiovvvoCjCW-CjCW-19:48
Moonstormnm, it appears that may only be one display at a time, ie login at a time19:49
EeyoreJrlocal usb works?  no?20:58
EeyoreJri was thinking i saw this a while ago20:59
sbalneavEeyoreJr: You can mount usb sticks, drives, and cdroms yes.20:59
EeyoreJrwacom tablets?21:02
EeyoreJrnubae: hi.  i'm setting up fatclient in dhcpd.conf.  i have a question21:17
EeyoreJr  host fatclient1 {21:17
EeyoreJr                hardware ethernet  the:thin:client:mac:add:ress;21:17
EeyoreJr                fixed-address 192.168.0.2;21:17
EeyoreJr                }21:17
EeyoreJri assume that i must enter a line "hardware ethernet mac_addres;" for each client21:17
EeyoreJrthe fixed-address line, requires me to enter an ip for each client as well?21:18
EeyoreJrand "host fatclient1, 2, 3, for each client?21:18
EghieEeyoreJr: make new sections for new client21:18
Eghieso every client has a host section21:18
EeyoreJrso, host fatclient2, fatclient2, etc.21:19
Eghielike this: http://pastebin.com/m4d58474021:20
EeyoreJrEghie: great, awesome, and thx21:21
Eghieno problem21:21
EeyoreJrnubae: script also has thin clients in his script.  do i need to setup the thin clients as well or allow them to do it on thier own ?21:22
EeyoreJrer, will the thin clients continue to function on thier own21:23
EeyoreJrifconfig shows the address of the server mac address, not the local21:28
Eghiehmm, LTSP uses Bash scripts to configure the client, guess it's very adaptable to customizations21:30
EeyoreJrwhat is kiwi-ltsp ?21:34
Eghiemy hardy APT doesn't even know kiwi-ltsp21:35
Eghiedon't have access to Intrepid at the moment though21:36
Eghieso, don't know21:39
LaserJockEeyoreJr: kiki-ltsp is openSUSE's LTSP implementation21:44
EeyoreJrah.  ok21:44
EeyoreJrhow does one find the address of the thin client in ubuntu ltsp?21:45
LaserJockEeyoreJr: of a currentlly connected on?21:45
EeyoreJryes21:46
LaserJockI'm not a LTSP guy so I'm not much help21:46
EeyoreJrfor example, i'm on a thin client now.  if i do ifconfig or lspci i get the server info21:46
LaserJockbut does ip a in a terminal give anything useful?21:46
LaserJockah, i wondered21:46
LaserJockEeyoreJr: can you do a Ctrl-Alt-F1 and get to a virtual console21:48
LaserJockI think those are supposed to be on the client21:48
EeyoreJrctl-alt-f1 gets me a virtual console but won't allow login21:49
EeyoreJrhrm21:49
LaserJockI think you need to set a root password in the chroot21:50
LaserJockand then you can log in as root  on your client21:50
EeyoreJrhttp://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/ - is this document current?22:45
LaserJockno22:45
EeyoreJrgrr22:45
LaserJockI think it was updated for Gutsy22:46
EeyoreJrITalC is a gui for machine management where sayabon is a gui for user management22:46
LaserJockright22:46
EeyoreJris there a current up to date document?22:46
LaserJocksbalneav is working on one, one sec22:46
EeyoreJri've noticed this as well pessulus22:46
LaserJockEeyoreJr: http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html22:47
LaserJockEeyoreJr: what is the problem?22:47
EeyoreJri'm trying to locate the mac addresses for the thin clients22:48
EeyoreJrifconfig and ip and lspci show the server info22:48
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
EeyoreJrnm, u answered it in the other forum22:50
stgraberEeyoreJr: arp -n | grep $LTSP_CLIENT22:50
EeyoreJrDHCPREQUEST for 10.2.2.41 from 00:e0:b8:30:f5:5c via eth1: wrong network ... r others attempting to connect ?22:50
EeyoreJrthe doc covers sabayon, but not Pessulus?  is pessulus23:03
LaserJockEeyoreJr: is pessulus ... ?23:04
EeyoreJrintegrated?23:12
EeyoreJrnm.  i see this is a draft23:13
EeyoreJri'll work around it and figure it out23:13
LaserJocksabayon are related but different programs23:15
LaserJocksabayon is more of a profile editor23:15
LaserJockwhere pessulus is a lockdown editor23:15
LaserJockpessulus doesn't do as much, but I think it does what it does better23:16
LaserJocksabayon tends to not be as stable23:16
EeyoreJrpessulus does better than sabayon?  it sounds as though they provide different functions23:32
EeyoreJrdoesn't ubuntu have a lockdown editor?23:32
EeyoreJrA fatal error has occurred.  You can help us fix the problem by sending the log in /root/sabayon-debug-log.conf to http://bugzilla.gnome.org23:33
EeyoreJrwell, i'm hungry.  it's qutting time23:33
