=== dgroos_ is now known as dgroos [14:34] anyone can suggest a GNU/Linux program like "hot potatoes", for multichoice/alotofothertype questions ? http://hotpot.uvic.ca/ [14:34] maybe kwordquiz, but seems inferior [17:56] Evening. I want to help translate kanagram, but I'm that much of a rookie that I can't locate the language file. Can anyone help me? === ubuntu is now known as shazzr [18:10] Nevermind [19:38] 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/ [19:40] I get the following error when following the tutorial from yournearstbar.com: http://codepad.org/0BytJh2r [19:45] Did you try with the preinstalled usb creator [19:45] ? [19:46] System > settings > Create a usb disk... [19:49] alkisg: Nah...I'm on win7. [19:49] Boot with the edubuntu dvd and do it from there (on a pc with a dvd drive, if you have one...) [19:49] alkisg: Don't have empty DVD's. :( (Hence the need for USB) [19:49] shazzr: do you have another pc around? [19:50] Ahm sorry [19:50] No, that won't do [19:52] I installed Edubuntu at work today...but the 64 bit version. Bummer since Google Chrome 64 bit edition won't play flash. :( [19:52] So I have to do it all over again with 32bit. [19:52] 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] Heh [19:53] You can make a usb stick at work then ;) [19:54] Meeting in 5' ? [19:55] 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 [19:56] 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... [19:57] shazzr: do you have an ubuntu stick or cd around? [19:57] (previous version, or something similar?) [19:59] alkisg: Yes. Could I possibly boot from that and make a USB stick from within it? [19:59] Yup [19:59] I'll give it at try! Thanks. :) [20:00] highvoltage: meeting? [20:03] alkisg: oh, yes! I completely forgot [20:16] stgraber: would you mind if I added that nbd-client loop (if you read the ltsp ML message I sent?) [20:22] 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] alkisg: go ahead, that's going to be for Natty anyway so I'll have time to test it [20:23] stgraber: thanks [20:23] (I won't do it for nbd-proxy to save some overhead, just for nbd-client) [20:23] (so it'll only work with nbd_proxy=false in the kernel command line) [20:24] 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 [20:39] alkisg: Success! Had to remove "ui" from sysconfig.cfg. [20:40] shazzr: nice, I didn't know such a problem existed [20:40] Thanks for the feedback [20:44] 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 [22:58] 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... [23:03] ...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] Any ideas? [23:04] Also, with ekul's help I think I've got enough directions to do all the stuff but the above. [23:29] woooo!!
