|---|---|---|
| dgroos | highvoltage: around? | 13:57 |
| outofhand1 | hi, i wonder if anyone can assist me ? | 14:00 |
| outofhand1 | i have just downloaded edubuntu11.10 onto dvd, and i wanna install in in my ubuntu 11.10 | 14:01 |
| outofhand1 | i cant get the dvd to install... do i have to install over my ubuntu (restaring my pc, and boot with edubuntu dvd ) | 14:01 |
| outofhand1 | ? | 14:01 |
| outofhand1 | is there no way i can just install it (edubuntu ) off the dvd within Ububntu ? | 14:03 |
| dgroos | hi outofhand1 | 14:04 |
| dgroos | seems that you can do that by setting your sources to use the dvd... | 14:04 |
| dgroos | do a sudo apt-get update | 14:05 |
| outofhand1 | ok? after the apt-get update? | 14:05 |
| dgroos | and it will find the new packages... | 14:05 |
| dgroos | and then sudo apt-get upgrade. | 14:05 |
| dgroos | BUT... | 14:05 |
| outofhand1 | dgoos , also. where do i setup the source to dvd only ?> | 14:06 |
| dgroos | Wait a few minutes on the list here to see if someone adds to this conversation and improves my answer! | 14:06 |
| outofhand1 | ok? | 14:07 |
| dgroos | To set up sources, wait, you are using Unity? | 14:07 |
| outofhand1 | bare with me ... im a noob on Ubuntu... i downloaded and using ubuntu 11.10 new desktop | 14:08 |
| dgroos | If I were going to update my Ubuntu to Edubuntu, I wouldn't do it from the DVD, but would do it from the internet -- do you have an OK connection to the internet? | 14:10 |
| outofhand1 | SA connection sux... 1 Mb | 14:10 |
| dgroos | You can tell the computer to add the edubuntu stuff from the Ubuntu Software Center--an application that lets you add/remove applications. Do you know where this is? | 14:12 |
| dgroos | that is, how to open this application? | 14:13 |
| outofhand1 | yeah i got that , thanks for that , what i wanna do is install the edubuntu on new installations of ubuntu pc's the scenario is . i wanna install ubuntu on peoples pc. but they dont have internet, so i wanna install edubuntu packages from a dvd / cd | 14:14 |
| dgroos | I see. What you need to do is then what I originally said. Let's see if I can walk you through it. Is the DVD in the drive? | 14:16 |
| outofhand1 | ideas? | 14:16 |
| outofhand1 | yes it is | 14:19 |
| dgroos | open up the system application called something like, software sources | 14:20 |
| outofhand1 | ok got it open | 14:20 |
| dgroos | There are 3 or 4 tabs available. One of those tabs will have a list of sources where programs can be gotten from. | 14:21 |
| outofhand1 | its all ticked | 14:22 |
| dgroos | find the tab that has this and one of them should show the Edubuntu CD or DVD. | 14:22 |
| outofhand1 | its ticked | 14:22 |
| dgroos | including the cd/dvd? | 14:22 |
| dgroos | cool. | 14:22 |
| dgroos | It was that way before? or you just did it now? | 14:23 |
| outofhand1 | it was already ticked | 14:23 |
| dgroos | OK, there should be something like an "Update" button, click it. | 14:23 |
| outofhand1 | cdform"[edubuntu 11.10_oneiric ocelot]" was ticked ... all i got is .. (add.. or add volume) no upgrade | 14:24 |
| outofhand1 | or update | 14:24 |
| dgroos | 'k close that and try opening the application, "Update Manager" | 14:25 |
| dgroos | Click on update there and see if that finds the apps on the DVD... | 14:26 |
| outofhand1 | let me check | 14:26 |
| outofhand1 | no . tells me there is no updates | 14:27 |
| dgroos | Hmmm... I've reached the limits of my over the net advise, hopefully someone can build on that. Be patient as it can take a while for attention on this list. Also I would suggest further google of, "Edubuntu install software from CD" Good luck. | 14:31 |
| outofhand1 | many thanks for your help, hope ur new year is good one | 14:33 |
| highvoltage | hi dgroos | 15:38 |
| highvoltage | (bbl) | 15:45 |
| dgroos | ...and back! | 17:09 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: re-ping! | 17:09 |
| highvoltage | dgroos: repong | 17:21 |
| alkisg | dgroos: do you have the old certificate to check its date? | 17:32 |
| dgroos | in and out... and in! | 17:35 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: yesterday I was on the edubuntu.org site and looking for a page with an overview on LTSP and found it. | 17:37 |
| dgroos | Then I went looking specifically for info on fat clients as they are significantly different from thin clients both with respect to client/server hardware requirements and for usb support. | 17:38 |
| dgroos | And I found that there wasn't phat fat info. | 17:39 |
| alkisg | Yeah, that was the problem, that the certificates generated by openssl expire after 1 month by default. I guess we should post a how-to-fix-the-problem in the wiki, and also automatically generate a new certificate on postinst if the old one has expired | 17:39 |
| dgroos | I was envisioning something with thinclient info in 1 column and fat in the next. Can I help with updating the page? | 17:42 |
| dgroos | hi alkisg :) | 17:43 |
| alkisg | Hello | 17:43 |
| dgroos | I tried to do the zero size files in server/client but didn't do the trick. | 17:43 |
| dgroos | I'll check the date right now... | 17:44 |
| alkisg | dgroos: I'd be interested to check your system, to verify that this is indeed the problem - with a shared vnc or socat screen | 17:45 |
| dgroos | hmmmm I tried to check the .crt file and saw no date in it. | 17:46 |
| dgroos | for sure, that would be great :D | 17:46 |
| alkisg | dgroos: x11vnc -noshm -connect alkisg.dyndns.org | 17:48 |
| dgroos | Thanks! | 17:56 |
| alkisg | dgroos: when it's done, reboot a client, and if it doesn't work, ping me | 17:56 |
| * alkisg left vnc... | 17:56 | |
| dgroos | alkisg: Will do. I won't be able to do this till after this teachers school day which is around 2:20 AM your time. Probably better put an amplifier on the sound output to wake you ;) | 17:58 |
| dgroos | Or tomorrow later... :) | 17:58 |
| alkisg | Or send me a mail, if you can :) | 17:58 |
| alkisg | If that fixes it, I should update the wiki pretty soon | 17:59 |
| alkisg | To notify people that their certificates probably expired around christmas :-/ | 17:59 |
| dgroos | perhaps I'll do that (mail) electronically to reduce ping time ;D | 17:59 |
| alkisg | Hehe | 17:59 |
| dgroos | For sure. | 17:59 |
| dgroos | I'll let you know. | 17:59 |
| dgroos | bbsoon... | 18:00 |
