| cog_ | Welcome to #edubuntu. | 15:19 |
| cog_ | Hi. May I get assistance in installing Mathematica on a 11.10 Edubuntu computer freshly installed? | 15:19 |
| highvoltage | cog_: can't gaurantee that we'll have all the answers, but ask away! | 15:22 |
| cog_ | How do I get my DVD mounted? I have tried mount /dev/cdrom ;-; | 15:25 |
| highvoltage | it should automount when you insert it | 15:27 |
| highvoltage | check under the /media directory | 15:27 |
| highvoltage | it usually uses the media name so it might be under /media/cdrom or something like /media/methematica | 15:28 |
| cog_ | No meth, no CD, I get nothing in /media ;-; | 15:28 |
| highvoltage | you could try this perhaps: | 15:29 |
| highvoltage | mkdir /mnt/cdrom | 15:29 |
| highvoltage | mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom | 15:29 |
| highvoltage | (it will warn that the media is read-only, but that's ok) | 15:29 |
| cog_ | "no media found" or something like that ;-; | 15:30 |
| highvoltage | you could type "cat /proc/partitions" | 15:39 |
| highvoltage | perhaps your cd device is called something else | 15:39 |
| highvoltage | (or not dected) | 15:39 |
| highvoltage | *detected | 15:41 |
| cog_ | you must specify the fily system type ;-; | 15:42 |
| cog_ | *e | 15:42 |
| highvoltage | I think it's usually iso9660 | 15:43 |
| cog_ | My computer keeps spinning the DVD somehow... | 15:44 |
| highvoltage | but if it doesn't detect that automatically then there might be something wrong with the disc or it's using a filesystem that your system doesn't understand | 15:44 |
| cog_ | Oh ._. | 15:47 |

| alkisg | stgraber: do you want to reuse the squashfs image of the edubuntu live CD to netboot thin/fat clients? Should I try to propose a quick solution for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/950945 ? | 16:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 950945 in ltsp (Ubuntu) "package ltsp-client-core (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-common-functions', which is also in package ltsp-server 5.3.2-0ubuntu3" [Low,Confirmed] | 16:55 |
| stgraber | alkisg: as we dropped the check from the preinst, we might as well fix this one, yes | 16:59 |
| alkisg | stgraber: one quick way would be to have the same file installed twice, with a different name | 16:59 |
| alkisg | common-client-functions, common-server-functions | 16:59 |
| alkisg | (done from the packaging) | 16:59 |
| alkisg | And have all the client files source the first one, and the server files source the second one | 17:00 |
| stgraber | alkisg: is the file absolutely identical at the moment? (same md5) | 17:00 |
| alkisg | stgraber: it's a single file | 17:00 |
| alkisg | The packaging copies the same file to the ltsp-server and ltsp-client-core package, with the same name | 17:00 |
| stgraber | ok, so I guess the dpkg magic allowing for identical files to be shipped by two packages is limited to multiarch :( | 17:00 |
| alkisg | Ah, didn't know about that | 17:00 |
| alkisg | Another way would be to have an ltsp-common package, but I don't think it makes sense to have that for 1 file | 17:01 |
| alkisg | We may just adjust the packaging to install it with a different name | 17:01 |
| stgraber | might be worth checking with vagrant but having two common files sounds like the easiest though requires upstream changes or ugly postinst hack (having ltsp-common-functions.<package-name> with a symlink called ltsp-common-functions) | 17:03 |
| alkisg | OK, let's wait a few hours, vagrantc will probably show up, so that we reach a common decision | 17:05 |
| alkisg | I haven't checked the edubuntu dvd since 11.10, but it would be nice to be able to boot fat clients _and_ lower the DVD contents at the same time ;) | 17:06 |
| alkisg | And it would be fast too, as most of the squashfs image that's needed to netboot the clients would be cached by booting the live dvd itself | 17:07 |
| alkisg | stgraber: | 17:12 |
| alkisg | root@alkis:/# dpkg-query -W ltsp-client-core | 17:12 |
| alkisg | ltsp-client-core5.3.4+bzr2134-0ubuntu1~ppa2 | 17:12 |
| alkisg | root@alkis:/# dpkg -S /usr/share/ltsp/nbd-disconnect | 17:12 |
| alkisg | dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/share/ltsp/nbd-disconnect. | 17:12 |
| stgraber | doh, wrong path, I think it's in usr/bin ... | 17:13 |
| alkisg | Oh | 17:13 |
| stgraber | can you confirm it's in usr/bin? if it's, then I'll just change the path and upload to Ubuntu | 17:13 |
| alkisg | Indeed | 17:13 |
| alkisg | /usr/sbin/nbd-disconnect | 17:14 |
| stgraber | right, fixed in the packaging | 17:14 |
| stgraber | anything else before I upload 5.3.5? I guess we can fix the ltsp-client-core one for 5.3.6 as it'll likely need some thinking? | 17:14 |
| alkisg | Could you include the last ltsp-update-kernels commit too? Is it easy for you? | 17:14 |
| alkisg | I'm using that frequently, I'd like to test it as well | 17:15 |
| alkisg | (I have chroots that are not available when I run ltsp-update-kernels, and I won't want the kernels deleted) | 17:15 |
| alkisg | *don't | 17:15 |
| cog_ | I want Superkey functionality like when I used Ubuntu 12.04 :) | 17:21 |
| stgraber | alkisg: commit 2135? | 17:23 |
| alkisg | yes | 17:53 |
| cog_ | How do you get that? | 18:03 |
| alkisg | I guess we can fix the ltsp-client-core one for 5.3.6 as it'll likely need some thinking? ==> you mean ltsp-common-functions? Yeah sure, let's leave something for 5.3.6 :) | 18:30 |
| stgraber | yeah | 18:33 |
| cog_ | Thank you alkisg :) | 23:33 |
| cog_ | Anyways, I want to mount a DVD in wine, any leads? | 23:34 |
