=== kai_62656 is now known as kracker[BDC] [01:11] highvoltage: Crunch time! [05:25] hi I am wondering if edubuntu has any kind of speed reader scripts or programs (for a person to read document faster? [05:26] lenutio: I don't know about one for teh default gnome desktop, but there's one in xfce [05:27] lenutio: the xfce dictionary app has a speed reading trainer in it. [05:28] is that for edubuntu? or xubuntu? [05:28] what abou the version two of 10.04? === Guest40503 is now known as ogra === mhall119_ is now known as mhall119 [14:56] 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. [14:57] masai47: try opening a terminal and running: sudo dhclient eth0 [14:58] no such device [14:59] ifconfig -a [15:00] What devices are there? [15:00] eth1 etc? [15:00] eth3 [15:01] OK, try with eth3 then [15:01] ok, that brought back some info [15:01] Now try: ping www.google.com [15:01] Do you have net access now? [15:03] I think it is doing it [15:03] OK. Now, run this: cat /etc/network/interfaces [15:03] And put the results to pastebin [15:03] !pastebin [15:03] 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. [15:04] I think it is working now [15:05] not sure how that changed anything [15:06] Did you put the result to pastebin? [15:06] If so, paste the link here. [15:06] The change we did was not permanent [15:06] 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] It was just to get you temporary internet access [15:07] So that you can then paste that file and so that we can fix its problems [15:07] You still have errors in that file [15:07] In the next reboot again you'll have no internet access [15:07] ok [15:09] one moment on pastebin slow internet in africa [15:09] sudo apt-get install pastebinit [15:09] pastebin /etc/network/interfaces [15:09] This will put it to pastebin without opening a web browser [15:10] paste.ubuntu.com/569194/ [15:11] You're missing the gateway [15:11] Scroll up in the terminal [15:11] See the output of dhclient [15:11] And paste that to pastebin too [15:12] sorry [15:12] could we start over [15:13] OK [15:13] Run this command: ip -oneline -family inet route show [15:14] What's the output? [15:16] paste.ubuntu.com/569196/ [15:16] You need to modify your /etc/network/interfaces [15:16] So that it contains the following: [15:16] auto lo [15:17] iface lo inet loopback [15:17] auto eth3 [15:17] iface eth3 inet static [15:17] address 192.168.1.254 [15:17] netmask 255.255.255.0 [15:17] gateway 192.168.1.1 [15:17] paste.ubuntu.com/569197/ [15:18] OK scratch that then [15:18] ok, what is the quickest way of changing that file [15:18] address 192.168.1.10 [15:18] gateway 192.168.1.254 [15:18] ^^ those are the correct ones [15:18] If you have a GUI, use: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [15:19] I dont see a gateway line [15:20] that number is under address [15:21] Yes, that's why you don't have internet access [15:21] ok, just made that change so it now has address / gateway / netmask [15:21] address = .10, gateway = .254 [15:21] Reboot the server [15:21] And see if it has internet access [15:21] so if I restart it will work now [15:21] ok [15:22] I had dpkg installing a bunch of deb files, is there a way of having it stop? [15:22] No, don't [15:23] And also don't use dpkg directly, use either gdebi or apt [15:23] ok [15:24] 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 [15:26] 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 [15:46] masai47: that's done automatically, for ltsp thin and fat clients [16:13] ok, I just restarted the computer and I cant seem to connect to the internet again [16:19] running dhclient eth3 seemed to fix it [16:21] Before running dhclient check if your /etc/resolv.conf contains a valid dns server [16:21] Or, remove the static declaration from /etc/network/interfaces, and just use network-manager to manage your connections [16:22] Whichever seems easier for you. [20:49] 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: bluebows: have you tried googling that error? === ogra is now known as Guest31833
