[13:33] <mgariepy> good morning everyone
[13:44] <highvoltage> good morning!
[14:27] <Hyperbyte> Hi!  New installation of Edubuntu 11.04... so new in fact, the server is still cooling down from all the work...
[14:28] <Hyperbyte> I configured http_proxy and ftp_proxy in /etc/profile
[14:29] <Hyperbyte> Logged in again via SSH so the variables get set
[14:29] <Hyperbyte> Run apt-get install thunderbird
[14:29] <Hyperbyte> "E: Encountered a section with no Package: header"
[14:30] <Hyperbyte> Looked 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 either
[14:30] <Hyperbyte> Anymore suggestions? :)
[14:30] <Hyperbyte> It also says to try aptitude by the way, which would be great if it was installed. :)
[14:31] <Hyperbyte> Also:  "W: GPG error: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com natty InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2"
[14:36] <Hyperbyte> This 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.
[14:39] <highvoltage> hey Hyperbyte
[14:40] <highvoltage> what 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 line
[14:40] <highvoltage> (like http_proxy="http://user:pass@host:port" instead of http_proxy="http://user:pass@host:port/"
[14:40] <highvoltage> )
[14:41] <Hyperbyte> Oh, hi-ghvoltage. :)
[14:41] <Hyperbyte> Nice to see you here as well
[14:42] <Hyperbyte> declare -x ftp_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/"
[14:42] <Hyperbyte> declare -x http_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/"
[14:42] <Hyperbyte> declare -x https_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/"
[14:42] <Hyperbyte> (wget works, so proxy config should be ok)
[14:43] <Hyperbyte> You know you'd make my day if you'd help me fix this.
[14:47] <Hyperbyte> I've implemented LTSP with Fedora and I'm running into all sorts of problems.
[14:47] <Hyperbyte> So insanely big problems it needs fixing -now-, or so the boss says... he's right though, not just pushing me.
[14:47] <Hyperbyte> Thing 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] <Hyperbyte> So I've decided to switch to Edubuntu overnight (yes, I'm planning to work through the night if needed)... and get rid of Fedora
[14:47] <Hyperbyte> I'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] <Hyperbyte> http://secondary.recreatie-zorg.nl/jan/aptget.png
[14:47] <Hyperbyte> That's the full 'apt-get update' output, which some stuff missing at the top, but it spits out of a lot of stuff
[14:47] <Hyperbyte> *with
[14:47] <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 work
[14:47] <highvoltage> (well, that's what I would try anyway)
[14:51] <JanMiddelkoop> Hmm...
[14:52] <JanMiddelkoop> Hyperbyte is lagging behind for some reason. :|
[14:52] <JanMiddelkoop> Did I miss anything?
[14:53] <highvoltage> maybe
[14:53] <highvoltage> 09:52 < 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 work
[14:53] <highvoltage> 09:53 < highvoltage> (well, that's what I would try anyway)
[14:53] <Hyperbyte> I feel a netsplit coming up by the way... some major lag here...
[14:54] <JanMiddelkoop> Wow.  I typed that 5 minutes ago
[14:54] <JanMiddelkoop> root@terminaltest:~# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20proxy
[14:54] <JanMiddelkoop> Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.100.1:3128/"
[14:54] <JanMiddelkoop> root@terminaltest:~# apt-get update
[14:54] <JanMiddelkoop> E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20proxy:2: Extra junk at end of file
[14:55] <highvoltage> maybe it doesn't want a newline or maybe there's whitespace at the end of the line
[14:56] <highvoltage> I guess the :2 is indicative of a newline
[14:56] <JanMiddelkoop> I checked, there isn't.
[14:56] <JanMiddelkoop> Checked with vi to make sure
[14:57] <JanMiddelkoop> Semicolon missing.
[14:57] <JanMiddelkoop> :)
[14:57] <JanMiddelkoop> Fixed that, same error.
[14:57] <JanMiddelkoop> It looks like it has no trouble finding my proxy actually...
[14:58] <highvoltage> ah
[14:58] <JanMiddelkoop> It's downloading even, so it says... it says there's a problem with some package or list or whatever
[14:58] <JanMiddelkoop> Hah, was waiting for that.
[14:58] <highvoltage> do you have lzma installed?
[14:58] <JanMiddelkoop> Yessir.
[14:59] <highvoltage> ok, looking at your screenshot it seems to have trouble with decoding lzma, but that could just be because the files its getting is 0b
[15:00] <highvoltage> can'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 fwiw
[15:03] <JanMiddelkoop> Just did that.
[15:31] <highvoltage> stgraber: didn't you use to be able to log in as a guest user from GDM?
[15:32] <stgraber> highvoltage: nope, you can't
[15:32] <stgraber> highvoltage: you can only start a guest session from an existing user session
[15:32] <highvoltage> pity.
[15:32] <stgraber> it's certainly doable to have it in gdm, it just wasn't done for security reason
