mgariepygood morning everyone13:33
highvoltagegood morning!13:44
HyperbyteHi!  New installation of Edubuntu 11.04... so new in fact, the server is still cooling down from all the work...14:27
HyperbyteI configured http_proxy and ftp_proxy in /etc/profile14:28
HyperbyteLogged in again via SSH so the variables get set14:29
HyperbyteRun apt-get install thunderbird14:29
Hyperbyte"E: Encountered a section with no Package: header"14:29
HyperbyteLooked online, saw something about removing /var/lib/apt/lists/*, which didn't help.  Also saw something about exchanging /var/lib/dpkg/status-old and status... no luck either14:30
HyperbyteAnymore suggestions? :)14:30
HyperbyteIt also says to try aptitude by the way, which would be great if it was installed. :)14:30
HyperbyteAlso:  "W: GPG error: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com natty InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2"14:31
HyperbyteThis is when I run apt-get as root, by the way... as user it doesn't connect, not even a little.... even though the proxy settings are ok. :/14:36
* Hyperbyte is confused.14:36
highvoltagehey Hyperbyte14:39
highvoltagewhat does your http_proxy say? I had a problem like that before when I didn't have a slash at the end of the proxy line14:40
highvoltage(like http_proxy="http://user:pass@host:port" instead of http_proxy="http://user:pass@host:port/"14:40
highvoltage)14:40
HyperbyteOh, hi-ghvoltage. :)14:41
HyperbyteNice to see you here as well14:41
Hyperbytedeclare -x ftp_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/"14:42
Hyperbytedeclare -x http_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/"14:42
Hyperbytedeclare -x https_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/"14:42
Hyperbyte(wget works, so proxy config should be ok)14:42
HyperbyteYou know you'd make my day if you'd help me fix this.14:43
HyperbyteI've implemented LTSP with Fedora and I'm running into all sorts of problems.14:47
HyperbyteSo insanely big problems it needs fixing -now-, or so the boss says... he's right though, not just pushing me.14:47
HyperbyteThing is - Fedora sucks with LTSP.  In fact, I'd go as far as to say Fedora's GUI and the support that comes with it, is insanely bad.14:47
HyperbyteSo I've decided to switch to Edubuntu overnight (yes, I'm planning to work through the night if needed)... and get rid of Fedora14:47
HyperbyteI'm not gonna get very far if I can't get this apt-get thing working though... so it would mean insanely much to me if you could help me fix this. :)14:47
Hyperbytehttp://secondary.recreatie-zorg.nl/jan/aptget.png14:47
HyperbyteThat's the full 'apt-get update' output, which some stuff missing at the top, but it spits out of a lot of stuff14:47
Hyperbyte*with14:47
highvoltageI think you could make a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d that would contain Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.100.1:3128/" that might work14:47
highvoltage(well, that's what I would try anyway)14:47
JanMiddelkoopHmm...14:51
JanMiddelkoopHyperbyte is lagging behind for some reason. :|14:52
JanMiddelkoopDid I miss anything?14:52
highvoltagemaybe14:53
highvoltage09:52 < highvoltage> I think you could make a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d that would contain Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.100.1:3128/" that might work14:53
highvoltage09:53 < highvoltage> (well, that's what I would try anyway)14:53
HyperbyteI feel a netsplit coming up by the way... some major lag here...14:53
JanMiddelkoopWow.  I typed that 5 minutes ago14:54
JanMiddelkooproot@terminaltest:~# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20proxy14:54
JanMiddelkoopAcquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.100.1:3128/"14:54
JanMiddelkooproot@terminaltest:~# apt-get update14:54
JanMiddelkoopE: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20proxy:2: Extra junk at end of file14:54
highvoltagemaybe it doesn't want a newline or maybe there's whitespace at the end of the line14:55
highvoltageI guess the :2 is indicative of a newline14:56
JanMiddelkoopI checked, there isn't.14:56
JanMiddelkoopChecked with vi to make sure14:56
JanMiddelkoopSemicolon missing.14:57
JanMiddelkoop:)14:57
JanMiddelkoopFixed that, same error.14:57
JanMiddelkoopIt looks like it has no trouble finding my proxy actually...14:57
highvoltageah14:58
JanMiddelkoopIt's downloading even, so it says... it says there's a problem with some package or list or whatever14:58
JanMiddelkoopHah, was waiting for that.14:58
highvoltagedo you have lzma installed?14:58
JanMiddelkoopYessir.14:58
highvoltageok, looking at your screenshot it seems to have trouble with decoding lzma, but that could just be because the files its getting is 0b14:59
highvoltagecan't think of anything weird that we do in edubuntu that would cause that, it might be a good idea to ask in #ubuntu too fwiw15:00
JanMiddelkoopJust did that.15:03
highvoltagestgraber: didn't you use to be able to log in as a guest user from GDM?15:31
stgraberhighvoltage: nope, you can't15:32
stgraberhighvoltage: you can only start a guest session from an existing user session15:32
highvoltagepity.15:32
stgraberit's certainly doable to have it in gdm, it just wasn't done for security reason15:32
