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