dgroosping: alkisg13:48
alkisgHey dgroos, what's up?13:48
dgroosalkisg: I'm trying to use sch-scripts and I get this error: http://pastebin.com/mFT4yfkz13:49
dgroosI'm guessing the prob. is that I'm not upgrading the client component (you fixed it last year to not update).  Any ideas?13:50
alkisgdgroos: what's the output of this? sudo pwck13:50
alkisgNo it shouldn't be related to the client component (and also you didn't upgrade the server component too, right?)13:50
dgroosOK--only if sudo apt-get update/upgrading will do this.  Here's the output: http://pastebin.com/vJAVt8dp13:52
alkisgdgroos: fix the users that have invalid groups13:53
dgroos(I'm in the teacher's room right now and might have to leave at moments notice.)13:54
dgroosOK, will do.  I notice that it isn't listing all users?13:54
alkisgThat command checks your /etc/passwd for errors13:54
dgroosah...13:54
dgroosbrb...13:55
alkisgAnd the last 5 lines say that you have users with invalid group numbers13:55
alkisgsch-scripts shouldn't crash from that; it should just display a warning13:55
alkisg...or maybe one of the devs broke that line while splitting it to under 80 chars... let me see...13:56
alkisgYeah. :( Unfortunately one junior dev decided to reformat the source code so that it fits in 80 columns, and he broke it in many places :(14:00
alkisgPlease do this: sudo gedit /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/schscripts/lib_users.py14:00
alkisgRemove those 2 lines:14:00
alkisg                print " * I couldn't find user %s in shadow file. Are you " + \14:00
alkisg                    "root?" % (p.pw_name)14:00
alkisgAnd replace them with this line:14:00
alkisg                print " * I couldn't find user %s in shadow file. Are you root?" % (p.pw_name)14:01
alkisgThis way sch-scripts won't crash. You'll still get a warning though, as your /etc/passwd is broken.14:01
dgroosalkisg: thanks!14:10
dgroosAll computers/login worked (first time full class using all computers)!14:10
alkisgHow many?14:11
dgroosalkisg: working :D14:14
dgroosjust 16--we've got 8 tables, 2 computers/table.14:15
alkisgCool :)14:15
dgroosgot a lot of lines in terminal after submitting the sudo sch-scripts command:14:17
dgroos * I couldn't find user GCOS-ROOSEVELT\Administrator in shadow file. Are you root?14:17
dgroos * I couldn't find user GCOS-ROOSEVELT\Guest in shadow file. Are you root?14:17
dgroosthis pair of lines was repeated about 20 times.14:17
dgroosbrb14:18
alkisgIgnore them, they're just warnings14:19
alkisgYou're probably using something different than /etc/passwd for authentication. AD or LDAP maybe?14:20
dgroosmgariepy: FYI, adding the ";" did the trick! working great :D.14:20
dgroosalkisg: yes, LDAP authentication to the district AD server--took me a few days to get it to work, but it was worth it.14:20
alkisgCool - just ignore the warnings then14:21
dgroosI'm wondering what ramifications it will have on everything, however.  Good to know I can ignore those comments.14:21
alkisgIt's possible that it means that you haven't configured AD/LDAP 100% correctly, but as far as sch-scripts is concerned, sure, just ignore them14:22
mgariepydgroos, nice :)14:28
dgroosAnyone using menueditor with lucid fatclients?  How's it working?15:51
dgroosahhh... mgariepy = Marc Gar...15:52
dgroosdidn't know that :)15:52
dgroosmgariepy: any thoughts on lucid + fatclients + menueditor?15:53
mgariepydgroos, never tried that  but in theory it should work,16:42
dgroosmgariepy: How about a combination of any 2 of the 3? :)17:10
mgariepydgross : https://launchpad.net/~menueditor-devel/+archive/backports17:15
mgariepyfor the fat client you should ask alkisg17:15
dgroosI will, thanks, I think I'll post (repost?) to the user's list as well.17:20
dgroosgotta go17:20
alkisgmgariepy: how does the menu editor apply settings? where does it hook?17:21
mgariepyok cya17:21
mgariepyextract the generated menu file from edubuntu-menueditor in a directory under /etc and add a file in /etc/desktop-profiles/17:21
mgariepyafter that, there is a file desktop-profiles in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20desktop-profiles_activateDesktopProfiles17:28
alkisgAh, got it. So he could just transfer the configuration files in the chroot17:31
alkisg(another reason why being able to boot fat chroots read/write would be a handy idea)17:31
mgariepywould be great for image modification indeed17:32
mgariepyi use a configuration manager (bcfg2) to manage thin client chroot and it works great but it's not for everybody :)17:33
mgariepyit's not user friendly enough i guess17:33
highvoltagein my experience it works fine if you have an mgariepy around20:03
