[06:27] stgraber: you didn't include nbd-disconnect in the packaging [15:19] Welcome to #edubuntu. [15:19] Hi. May I get assistance in installing Mathematica on a 11.10 Edubuntu computer freshly installed? [15:22] cog_: can't gaurantee that we'll have all the answers, but ask away! [15:25] How do I get my DVD mounted? I have tried mount /dev/cdrom ;-; [15:27] it should automount when you insert it [15:27] check under the /media directory [15:28] it usually uses the media name so it might be under /media/cdrom or something like /media/methematica [15:28] No meth, no CD, I get nothing in /media ;-; [15:29] you could try this perhaps: [15:29] mkdir /mnt/cdrom [15:29] mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom [15:29] (it will warn that the media is read-only, but that's ok) [15:30] "no media found" or something like that ;-; [15:39] you could type "cat /proc/partitions" [15:39] perhaps your cd device is called something else [15:39] (or not dected) [15:41] *detected [15:42] you must specify the fily system type ;-; [15:42] *e [15:43] I think it's usually iso9660 [15:44] My computer keeps spinning the DVD somehow... [15:44] 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 [15:47] Oh ._. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [16:55] 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] 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] [16:59] alkisg: as we dropped the check from the preinst, we might as well fix this one, yes [16:59] stgraber: one quick way would be to have the same file installed twice, with a different name [16:59] common-client-functions, common-server-functions [16:59] (done from the packaging) [17:00] And have all the client files source the first one, and the server files source the second one [17:00] alkisg: is the file absolutely identical at the moment? (same md5) [17:00] stgraber: it's a single file [17:00] The packaging copies the same file to the ltsp-server and ltsp-client-core package, with the same name [17:00] ok, so I guess the dpkg magic allowing for identical files to be shipped by two packages is limited to multiarch :( [17:00] Ah, didn't know about that [17:01] 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] We may just adjust the packaging to install it with a different name [17:03] 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. with a symlink called ltsp-common-functions) [17:05] OK, let's wait a few hours, vagrantc will probably show up, so that we reach a common decision [17:06] 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 ;) [17:07] 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 [17:12] stgraber: [17:12] root@alkis:/# dpkg-query -W ltsp-client-core [17:12] ltsp-client-core 5.3.4+bzr2134-0ubuntu1~ppa2 [17:12] root@alkis:/# dpkg -S /usr/share/ltsp/nbd-disconnect [17:12] dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/share/ltsp/nbd-disconnect. [17:13] doh, wrong path, I think it's in usr/bin ... [17:13] Oh [17:13] can you confirm it's in usr/bin? if it's, then I'll just change the path and upload to Ubuntu [17:13] Indeed [17:14] /usr/sbin/nbd-disconnect [17:14] right, fixed in the packaging [17:14] 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] Could you include the last ltsp-update-kernels commit too? Is it easy for you? [17:15] I'm using that frequently, I'd like to test it as well [17:15] (I have chroots that are not available when I run ltsp-update-kernels, and I won't want the kernels deleted) [17:15] *don't [17:21] I want Superkey functionality like when I used Ubuntu 12.04 :) [17:23] alkisg: commit 2135? [17:53] yes [18:03] How do you get that? [18:30] 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 :) [18:33] yeah [23:33] Thank you alkisg :) [23:34] Anyways, I want to mount a DVD in wine, any leads?
