| shazzr | Is it at all possible to create a bootable USB stick with the Edubuntu 10.10 beta DVD iso? I've tried now with unetbootin AND the Universal USB installer...I even tired to follow this recipe: http://www.yournearestbar.com/2009/12/installing-ubuntu-or-derivatives-using-a-usb-pendrive/ | 19:38 |
| shazzr | I get the following error when following the tutorial from yournearstbar.com: http://codepad.org/0BytJh2r | 19:40 |
| alkisg | Did you try with the preinstalled usb creator | 19:45 |
| alkisg | ? | 19:45 |
| alkisg | System > settings > Create a usb disk... | 19:46 |
| shazzr | alkisg: Nah...I'm on win7. | 19:49 |
| alkisg | Boot with the edubuntu dvd and do it from there (on a pc with a dvd drive, if you have one...) | 19:49 |
| shazzr | alkisg: Don't have empty DVD's. :( (Hence the need for USB) | 19:49 |
| alkisg | shazzr: do you have another pc around? | 19:49 |
| alkisg | Ahm sorry | 19:50 |
| alkisg | No, that won't do | 19:50 |
| shazzr | I installed Edubuntu at work today...but the 64 bit version. Bummer since Google Chrome 64 bit edition won't play flash. :( | 19:52 |
| shazzr | So I have to do it all over again with 32bit. | 19:52 |
| Lns | he could download the ubuntu/edubuntu ISO and mount it in windows, install it and then boot to it if he really can't find a dvd anywhere.. :) | 19:52 |
| alkisg | Heh | 19:52 |
| alkisg | You can make a usb stick at work then ;) | 19:53 |
| alkisg | Meeting in 5' ? | 19:54 |
| shazzr | alkisg: Nah. Theres a hell of a policy regarding websites I can access. Hence my need for *nix. I need freedom. Can't work in the locked down Windows environment. :S | 19:55 |
| alkisg | shazzr: if it doesn't work, I'd file a bug on those tools you mentioned, I've never used them, I don't know if they work... | 19:56 |
| alkisg | shazzr: do you have an ubuntu stick or cd around? | 19:57 |
| alkisg | (previous version, or something similar?) | 19:57 |
| shazzr | alkisg: Yes. Could I possibly boot from that and make a USB stick from within it? | 19:59 |
| alkisg | Yup | 19:59 |
| shazzr | I'll give it at try! Thanks. :) | 19:59 |
| alkisg | highvoltage: meeting? | 20:00 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: oh, yes! I completely forgot | 20:03 |
| alkisg | stgraber: would you mind if I added that nbd-client loop (if you read the ltsp ML message I sent?) | 20:16 |
| shazzr | alkisg: Made a bootable USB from a 9.10 Live cd....got a new error when booting. Whene the syslinux-stuff appears, it says "Unknown keyword in configuration file. boot:" | 20:22 |
| stgraber | alkisg: go ahead, that's going to be for Natty anyway so I'll have time to test it | 20:22 |
| alkisg | stgraber: thanks | 20:23 |
| alkisg | (I won't do it for nbd-proxy to save some overhead, just for nbd-client) | 20:23 |
| alkisg | (so it'll only work with nbd_proxy=false in the kernel command line) | 20:23 |
| alkisg | Of course the best thing would be to solve the udev issue, but I've no clue how to do that... | 20:24 |
| * alkisg will try it a bit though, if I succeed I'll commit that instead | 20:24 | |
| shazzr | alkisg: Success! Had to remove "ui" from sysconfig.cfg. | 20:39 |
| alkisg | shazzr: nice, I didn't know such a problem existed | 20:40 |
| alkisg | Thanks for the feedback | 20:40 |
| shazzr | alkisg: Apparantly there was an issue with the USB creator on older versions of Ubuntu. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=09bccbe0cad4f74222930bb1970fe15c&p=9704603&postcount=17 | 20:44 |
| dgroos | I want to make it so that when my users log in from their LTSP client, the authentication goes through the school districts AD server BUT... | 22:58 |
| dgroos | ...the first time they do this it creates local accounts on the server SO AS I can add users to specific groups that don't exist on the AD server (and to which besides I could only get initial access anyways). | 23:03 |
| dgroos | Any ideas? | 23:03 |
| dgroos | Also, with ekul's help I think I've got enough directions to do all the stuff but the above. | 23:04 |
| Lns | woooo!! New native 64-bit Linux flash "preview" plugin from adobe: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 23:29 |
| dgroos | another day, another venue... adios! | 23:39 |
