[14:34] <markit> anyone can suggest a GNU/Linux program like "hot potatoes", for multichoice/alotofothertype questions ? http://hotpot.uvic.ca/
[14:34] <markit> maybe kwordquiz, but seems inferior
[17:56] <ubuntu> 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?
[18:10] <shazzr> Nevermind
[19:38] <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/
[19:40] <shazzr> I get the following error when following the tutorial from yournearstbar.com: http://codepad.org/0BytJh2r
[19:45] <alkisg> Did you try with the preinstalled usb creator
[19:45] <alkisg> ?
[19:46] <alkisg> System > settings > Create a usb disk...
[19:49] <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?
[19:50] <alkisg> Ahm sorry
[19:50] <alkisg> No, that won't do
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <alkisg> You can make a usb stick at work then ;)
[19:54] <alkisg> Meeting in 5' ?
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <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...
[19:57] <alkisg> shazzr: do you have an ubuntu stick or cd around?
[19:57] <alkisg> (previous version, or something similar?)
[19:59] <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. :)
[20:00] <alkisg> highvoltage: meeting?
[20:03] <highvoltage> alkisg: oh, yes! I completely forgot
[20:16] <alkisg> stgraber: would you mind if I added that nbd-client loop (if you read the ltsp ML message I sent?)
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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)
[20:24] <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
[20:39] <shazzr> alkisg: Success! Had to remove "ui" from sysconfig.cfg.
[20:40] <alkisg> shazzr: nice, I didn't know such a problem existed
[20:40] <alkisg> Thanks for the feedback
[20:44] <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
[22:58] <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...
[23:03] <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?
[23:04] <dgroos> Also, with ekul's help I think I've got enough directions to do all the stuff but the above.
[23:29] <Lns> woooo!! New native 64-bit Linux flash "preview" plugin from adobe: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[23:39] <dgroos> another day, another venue... adios!
