[05:25] <lenutio> hi I am wondering if edubuntu has any kind of speed reader scripts or programs (for a person to read document faster?
[05:26] <HedgeMage> lenutio: I don't know about one for teh default gnome desktop, but there's one in xfce
[05:27] <HedgeMage> lenutio: the xfce dictionary app has a speed reading trainer in it.
[05:28] <lenutio> is that for edubuntu? or xubuntu?
[05:28] <lenutio> what abou the version two of 10.04?
[14:56] <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.
[14:57] <alkisg> masai47: try opening a terminal and running: sudo dhclient eth0
[14:58] <masai47> no such device
[14:59] <alkisg> ifconfig -a
[15:00] <alkisg> What devices are there?
[15:00] <alkisg> eth1 etc?
[15:00] <masai47> eth3
[15:01] <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?
[15:03] <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
[15:04] <masai47> I think it is working now
[15:05] <masai47> not sure how that changed anything
[15:06] <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
[15:07] <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
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <masai47> paste.ubuntu.com/569194/
[15:11] <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
[15:12] <masai47> sorry
[15:12] <masai47> could we start over
[15:13] <alkisg> OK
[15:13] <alkisg> Run this command: ip -oneline -family inet route show
[15:14] <alkisg> What's the output?
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <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/
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <masai47> I dont see a gateway line
[15:20] <masai47> that number is under address
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <masai47> I had dpkg installing a bunch of deb files, is there a way of having it stop?
[15:22] <alkisg> No, don't
[15:23] <alkisg> And also don't use dpkg directly, use either gdebi or apt
[15:23] <masai47> ok
[15:24] <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
[15:26] <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
[15:46] <alkisg> masai47: that's done automatically, for ltsp thin and fat clients
[16:13] <masai47> ok, I just restarted the computer and I cant seem to connect to the internet again
[16:19] <masai47> running dhclient eth3 seemed to fix it
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <alkisg> Whichever seems easier for you.
[20:49] <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"
[21:05] <HedgeMage> bluebows: have you tried googling that error?
