| sbalneav | Morning all | 14:51 |
| dgroos | Good Morning sbalneav! | 14:53 |
| researcher | :)Hello everybody | 16:44 |
| dgroos | researcher: hello! | 16:46 |
| researcher | thanks u noticed me | 16:47 |
| dgroos | :) | 16:48 |
| researcher | is this the only way to communicate here? | 16:48 |
| researcher | Cant we make voice talk here? | 16:48 |
| dgroos | as an irc I think it's only text... | 16:48 |
| researcher | ok | 16:49 |
| researcher | I want a picture to appear at the bottom of screen on edubuntu when a kid studies | 16:49 |
| researcher | is it possible ? | 16:49 |
| mhall119 | what do you mean? | 16:50 |
| dgroos | yes... a student logs in to their account, right? | 16:51 |
| mhall119 | you want a picture to appear on top of everything else? | 16:51 |
| dgroos | then? do you mean this would be their desktop 'wall paper'? | 16:51 |
| researcher | not wall paper | 16:51 |
| researcher | at the bottom of the screen | 16:51 |
| researcher | small pic or text | 16:52 |
| mhall119 | in the panel? or floating above everything else? | 16:52 |
| researcher | I must have options | 16:52 |
| researcher | panel preferred | 16:53 |
| dgroos | describe how you plan on using it--why you want it--what is the purpose of this picture. | 16:54 |
| researcher | I want to creat a CD with my name and photo | 16:54 |
| researcher | so that in whichever cllass it is installed studnet sknow the teacher name and photo | 16:55 |
| dgroos | don't get the CD part... | 16:56 |
| researcher | that means its my photo and my name so my laboratory kids know this resource has come from this teacher | 16:56 |
| dgroos | how does this relate to the idea of a CD? | 16:57 |
| researcher | about CD part. .... Want to have self installable edubuntu CD | 16:57 |
| researcher | when it is inserted and PC started then it installs Edubuntu.. | 16:57 |
| researcher | which edubuntu when used shows my picture and name | 16:57 |
| researcher | did I make my requirements clear ? | 16:58 |
| dgroos | getting close! do you want a permanent install on the PC or do you want to run it off the CD so there is no change made to the HD of the PC? | 17:01 |
| researcher | Permanent install on the PC | 17:02 |
| dgroos | options depend, I think, on weather users will be logging in a school wide server. Or, is there no log in? If a server, will it be edubuntu server? | 17:06 |
| researcher | no server | 17:06 |
| researcher | stand alone pc | 17:06 |
| researcher | there is no login | 17:07 |
| dgroos | OK, now there are a few things here. | 17:07 |
| researcher | yes plz | 17:08 |
| dgroos | Actually, edubuntu no longer uses CD but DVD--gives more options. | 17:08 |
| researcher | ok | 17:08 |
| dgroos | Is there a network available to connect all these stand-alones, to? | 17:08 |
| researcher | may be at times | 17:09 |
| researcher | normally unconnected PCs | 17:10 |
| dgroos | Instead of using a speciallized DVD, I would consider installing on a single PC, customizing it with a picture/name like you want, then by making an image of it onto a flash drive, then going around, from computer to computer, and burning this speciallized image on to each PC. | 17:13 |
| researcher | thats enough good | 17:14 |
| dgroos | Then, customizing the PC for another classroom, make new image and repeat process. 'course, could use a USB external HD too. | 17:14 |
| researcher | thats fine | 17:14 |
| dgroos | So... there are 2 things here... | 17:14 |
| researcher | plz | 17:14 |
| dgroos | 1. how do you add the image to the bottom of a window (mhall119? he's your man on that). And... | 17:15 |
| mhall119 | I am? | 17:16 |
| alkisg | (for an icon or text with a customized picture, see the fish applet: right click on a panel, add applet, fish...) | 17:16 |
| dgroos | si senor :) | 17:16 |
| alkisg | (and it supports a custom command when clicked, so you could pop-up a dialog with your name there, with zenity) | 17:16 |
| dgroos | good evening alkisg | 17:17 |
| alkisg | Hi all - just dropping an idea and leaving to see a TV show :D | 17:17 |
| researcher | what am I to do now. Whats this fish applet? | 17:18 |
| alkisg | http://www.fifi.org/doc/gnome-help-data/html/fish_applet/C/index.html ==> but of course you can put your face instead of a fish | 17:19 |
| alkisg | Try it on your ubuntu to see. | 17:19 |
| researcher | oh.thanks | 17:19 |
| * alkisg will be back later... | 17:19 | |
| researcher | :-D | 17:20 |
| researcher | how to save this chat for later reference? | 17:20 |
| dgroos | 2. to learn about the process of making and using images, check out http://clonezilla.com--pretty slick, pretty efficient too. | 17:22 |
| researcher | ok.thanks | 17:22 |
| researcher | it says "server not found" | 17:23 |
| researcher | ok . Got it | 17:23 |
| dgroos | lots of ways to save. besides using the built in possiblities of the chat client you are using, you can copy the whole chat and past it into a wordprocessing document. | 17:24 |
| researcher | ok | 17:24 |
| dgroos | sorry--yes http://clonezilla.org | 17:24 |
| dgroos | Good luck! | 17:24 |
| researcher | u people r wonderfully helpfull | 17:25 |
| researcher | may u have all thats Peace,health,Wealth and Joy | 17:25 |
| dgroos | another resource is join the edubuntu list--it's an e-mail list where you can get help via e-mailing. Do a search for edubuntu users list. | 17:27 |
| dgroos | Thanks and to you as well. | 17:27 |
| researcher | good night | 17:28 |
| researcher | How can I meet you again? | 17:28 |
| dgroos | 'here' also edubuntu user list. | 17:29 |
| researcher | see you | 17:32 |
| researcher | bye | 17:32 |
| === Rondom_ is now known as Rondom | ||
| vistro | Hello. I just performed a clean install of Ubuntu on another computer last night, and when I installed edubuntu (after applying all of the package upadates), I can't login after a reboot. | 20:18 |
| vistro | I logon, and I get the Ubuntu logo and the logon loading thing, and then it bumps me right back to the logon screen | 20:18 |
| vistro | The only thing that changes is that the screen resolutionchanges to what I picked for my account, but it goes right back to the original resolution when it puts me back at the logon screen | 20:19 |
| vistro | What do I do? | 20:19 |
| feathercloud | Hey, running ltsp-server with 3 nics, 2 ltsp-client subnets and an internet connected interface: ldm doesn't start in this case: tty7 echo's nc: invalid option -- 'f'. (using ltsp 5 on ubuntu karmic). Disabling one thin client network iface in dhcp-server 'solves' the issue. Is this a known bug? | 20:36 |
| === dgroos_ is now known as dgroos | ||
| vistro | Can anyone here help with a logon problem after installing edubuntu? | 21:09 |
| alkisg | vistro: on LTSP clients? or on a standalone pc? | 21:13 |
| vistro | standalone | 21:13 |
| vistro | once a user is created and logged in | 21:13 |
| vistro | one logout, and it's useless | 21:13 |
| vistro | the most I can do is a terminal if I select xsometing from the session menu | 21:14 |
| vistro | it acts like it will log in, and it goes back to the logon screen | 21:14 |
| alkisg | See the user's ~/.xsession-errors for any messages | 21:14 |
| vistro | the most noticable change it goes through in the steps to bring me my desktop is it changes my screen rez for maybe 6 secons | 21:14 |
| vistro | how do I do that? | 21:14 |
| alkisg | Get the xterm thing, and run: cat ~/.xsession-errors | 21:15 |
| vistro | Okay. I'm in the middle of trying to uninstlall edubuntu to see if that helps | 21:15 |
| vistro | Nope, same song and dance... I'll try that .xsession-errors thing | 21:16 |
| vistro | what am I looking for here? | 21:17 |
| vistro | three lines of output | 21:17 |
| vistro | /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... | 21:20 |
| vistro | Setting IM through im-switch for locale-en_US. | 21:21 |
| vistro | Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default. | 21:22 |
| vistro | and that's it | 21:22 |
| alkisg | Right, it doesn't tell you anything :( | 21:22 |
| vistro | I'm not reinstalling the system again | 21:22 |
| vistro | it's a pain in the ass when it won't let me see half of my screen | 21:23 |
| alkisg | Well, that's as far as I can go, so either wait for someone else, or try to also ask in #ubuntu | 21:23 |
| vistro | the people in #ubuntu really don't care | 21:23 |
| sbalneav | vistro: Have you tried turning off desktop effects? | 22:20 |
| vistro | can't get in to do that | 22:21 |
| vistro | I managed to recover it by installing KDE and then loggint into gnome | 22:21 |
| vistro | but the stupid son of a bitch won't connect to a wireless network now | 22:21 |
| vistro | greaaatttt OS you got here | 22:21 |
| vistro | even if I put the god damned wireless card on the stupid router, can't see it for jackl | 22:22 |
| vistro | I suppose Ubuntu was designed to break wireless compatibility on a desktop machine | 22:23 |
| sbalneav | What kind if wireless card is it? Only some wireless carda are supported | 22:23 |
| vistro | Linksys | 22:24 |
| vistro | usb card | 22:24 |
| vistro | it sees it | 22:24 |
| vistro | but good luck connecting to a network | 22:24 |
| sbalneav | There are some bugs in NetworkManager that I think are fixed in "Proposed", but not in the main archive. | 22:25 |
| vistro | then where do I get them | 22:25 |
| vistro | the card works just fine on my laptop | 22:25 |
| sbalneav | You might try turning on the "Proposed" archive in software-sources, and doing an update | 22:25 |
| vistro | thus confirming my theoroy on ubuntu's hate for desktop wireless | 22:25 |
| sbalneav | System -> Admin -> Software sources | 22:26 |
| sbalneav | click on "updates" tab | 22:26 |
| sbalneav | check off "karmic-proposed" | 22:26 |
| sbalneav | Then update your system. | 22:26 |
| sbalneav | You're using edubuntu? | 22:28 |
| sbalneav | vistro: I'm heading home for the day. I'll be on later on tonight if you need any further help. | 22:31 |
| vistro | can't do it | 22:37 |
| vistro | at all. ever | 22:37 |
| vistro | won't let me log into gnome on any account other than the non-superuser | 22:37 |
| vistro | so that won't work at all ever | 22:37 |
| vistro | wish there was a magic command that turned off the shitty_experience package | 22:38 |
| vistro | somehow my laptop turned that off for me | 22:38 |
| vistro | how do I enter this menu on SDE? | 22:38 |
