| lenutio | hi I am wondering if edubuntu has any kind of speed reader scripts or programs (for a person to read document faster? | 05:25 |
| HedgeMage | lenutio: I don't know about one for teh default gnome desktop, but there's one in xfce | 05:26 |
| HedgeMage | lenutio: the xfce dictionary app has a speed reading trainer in it. | 05:27 |
| lenutio | is that for edubuntu? or xubuntu? | 05:28 |

| masai47 | I just installed edubuntu and while I could connect to the internet in a live environment from a USB within the new install I can not, the nm-applet is not showing up, and I am not really sure what is wrong. | 14:56 |
| alkisg | masai47: try opening a terminal and running: sudo dhclient eth0 | 14:57 |
| masai47 | no such device | 14:58 |
| alkisg | ifconfig -a | 14:59 |
| alkisg | What devices are there? | 15:00 |
| alkisg | eth1 etc? | 15:00 |
| masai47 | eth3 | 15:00 |
| alkisg | OK, try with eth3 then | 15:01 |
| masai47 | ok, that brought back some info | 15:01 |
| alkisg | Now try: ping www.google.com | 15:01 |
| alkisg | Do you have net access now? | 15:01 |
| masai47 | I think it is doing it | 15:03 |
| alkisg | OK. Now, run this: cat /etc/network/interfaces | 15:03 |
| alkisg | And put the results to pastebin | 15:03 |
| alkisg | !pastebin | 15:03 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 15:03 |
| masai47 | I think it is working now | 15:04 |
| masai47 | not sure how that changed anything | 15:05 |
| alkisg | Did you put the result to pastebin? | 15:06 |
| alkisg | If so, paste the link here. | 15:06 |
| alkisg | The change we did was not permanent | 15:06 |
| masai47 | sorry, I am on internet from a different computer than the one that I am having difficulties with so no pastiing but it says auto eth3 iface eth3 inet static then gives an address and netmask | 15:06 |
| alkisg | It was just to get you temporary internet access | 15:06 |
| alkisg | So that you can then paste that file and so that we can fix its problems | 15:07 |
| alkisg | You still have errors in that file | 15:07 |
| alkisg | In the next reboot again you'll have no internet access | 15:07 |
| masai47 | ok | 15:07 |
| masai47 | one moment on pastebin slow internet in africa | 15:09 |
| alkisg | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 15:09 |
| alkisg | pastebin /etc/network/interfaces | 15:09 |
| alkisg | This will put it to pastebin without opening a web browser | 15:09 |
| masai47 | paste.ubuntu.com/569194/ | 15:10 |
| alkisg | You're missing the gateway | 15:11 |
| alkisg | Scroll up in the terminal | 15:11 |
| alkisg | See the output of dhclient | 15:11 |
| alkisg | And paste that to pastebin too | 15:11 |
| masai47 | sorry | 15:12 |
| masai47 | could we start over | 15:12 |
| alkisg | OK | 15:13 |
| alkisg | Run this command: ip -oneline -family inet route show | 15:13 |
| alkisg | What's the output? | 15:14 |
| masai47 | paste.ubuntu.com/569196/ | 15:16 |
| alkisg | You need to modify your /etc/network/interfaces | 15:16 |
| alkisg | So that it contains the following: | 15:16 |
| alkisg | auto lo | 15:16 |
| alkisg | iface lo inet loopback | 15:17 |
| alkisg | auto eth3 | 15:17 |
| alkisg | iface eth3 inet static | 15:17 |
| alkisg | address 192.168.1.254 | 15:17 |
| alkisg | netmask 255.255.255.0 | 15:17 |
| alkisg | gateway 192.168.1.1 | 15:17 |
| masai47 | paste.ubuntu.com/569197/ | 15:17 |
| alkisg | OK scratch that then | 15:18 |
| masai47 | ok, what is the quickest way of changing that file | 15:18 |
| alkisg | address 192.168.1.10 | 15:18 |
| alkisg | gateway 192.168.1.254 | 15:18 |
| alkisg | ^^ those are the correct ones | 15:18 |
| alkisg | If you have a GUI, use: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 15:18 |
| masai47 | I dont see a gateway line | 15:19 |
| masai47 | that number is under address | 15:20 |
| alkisg | Yes, that's why you don't have internet access | 15:21 |
| masai47 | ok, just made that change so it now has address / gateway / netmask | 15:21 |
| alkisg | address = .10, gateway = .254 | 15:21 |
| alkisg | Reboot the server | 15:21 |
| alkisg | And see if it has internet access | 15:21 |
| masai47 | so if I restart it will work now | 15:21 |
| masai47 | ok | 15:21 |
| masai47 | I had dpkg installing a bunch of deb files, is there a way of having it stop? | 15:22 |
| alkisg | No, don't | 15:22 |
| alkisg | And also don't use dpkg directly, use either gdebi or apt | 15:23 |
| masai47 | ok | 15:23 |
| masai47 | I have been having to install edubuntu and a bunch of additional packages and updates on computers with no internet, and dpkg was all I had figured out on installing .dep files that had been downloaded by another computer | 15:24 |
| masai47 | I am way over my head on this but the next think I want to see if I can do is set up this computer so that it can act as a data server for a bunch of other computers so that user accounts and /home can be stored on it and the other computers look to it for log on credentials | 15:26 |
| alkisg | masai47: that's done automatically, for ltsp thin and fat clients | 15:46 |
| masai47 | ok, I just restarted the computer and I cant seem to connect to the internet again | 16:13 |
| masai47 | running dhclient eth3 seemed to fix it | 16:19 |
| alkisg | Before running dhclient check if your /etc/resolv.conf contains a valid dns server | 16:21 |
| alkisg | Or, remove the static declaration from /etc/network/interfaces, and just use network-manager to manage your connections | 16:21 |
| alkisg | Whichever seems easier for you. | 16:22 |
| bluebows | I just installed Edubuntu on a computer. When I try to open firefox I get an XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome:browser/content/browser.xul line number 31, column 1: <window id="main-window" | 20:49 |
| HedgeMage | bluebows: have you tried googling that error? | 21:05 |
