| 00:15 | <kevcox> Anyone out there know anything about loading Linux on a Windows CE Neoware Thin Client?
| |
| 00:17 | <Appiah> well
| |
| 00:17 | does not really matter if there's WinCE on it?
| |
| 00:17 | <kevcox> I'm kind of lost...
| |
| 00:17 | <Appiah> since you want to replace it with linux
| |
| 00:17 | <kevcox> I've been searching and trying to find anyone who can help me and it maybe a little off topic.
| |
| 00:18 | <Appiah> well does it have CF card or what?
| |
| 00:18 | <kevcox> When I open the box it is not a CF disk but more a board.
| |
| 00:18 | I have a CF reading but it will not work on this chip
| |
| 00:19 | <Appiah> does it support cfdisks?
| |
| 00:19 | <kevcox> I've tried to load the .img via a LiveCD without success.
| |
| 00:19 | Not for sure....sorry this is my first time trying to use a Thin Client.
| |
| 00:19 | <Appiah> oh..
| |
| 00:20 | <kevcox> Are there any restrictions on the Windows CE chip that would prevent a reburn?
| |
| 00:20 | <Appiah> well replacing the OS on a thin client would be like replacing the OS on any computer , just that it maybe does not have a harddrive
| |
| 00:20 | Well I have no idea on your specific thin client
| |
| 00:20 | not all are the same :)
| |
| 00:21 | you will have to research that...
| |
| 00:21 | <kevcox> I'm trying to use the thin clients for multiple things.
| |
| 00:21 | I bought 27 of them thinking I had a plan. :)
| |
| 00:21 | Now I'm trying to prove my theory.
| |
| 00:22 | <Appiah> When I want to use thin clients and fat clients for multiple things i PXE boot
| |
| 00:22 | <kevcox> I think what I'm trying to load requires a block by block write.
| |
| 00:23 | So I'm unable to just boot to the install.
| |
| 00:23 | <Appiah> and you are trying to load what?
| |
| 00:23 | <kevcox> FreeBSD Appliance
| |
| 00:23 | <Appiah> Appliance?
| |
| 00:23 | <kevcox> PFSense
| |
| 00:23 | Firewall
| |
| 00:23 | The other is AskoziaPBX.
| |
| 00:23 | <Appiah> on 27 thin clients?
| |
| 00:24 | <kevcox> Multiple clients
| |
| 00:24 | Firewall service with PBX
| |
| 00:25 | <Appiah> well when I was putting linux on thin client I found very specific information on just the model I had
| |
| 00:25 | and similar
| |
| 00:25 | <kevcox> I'm considering that I might be able to find a ribbon or something that would allow me to connect my CF Reader to the chip assuming the chip has the same pin set.
| |
| 00:25 | <Appiah> my tip would be to run it of USB and if you can get everything to work you will have to find a way to flash that image to the chip
| |
| 00:26 | <kevcox> I think the connecting pins on the chip are the same as a CF disk just not accessible to the reader interface.
| |
| 00:26 | I did boot from a USB with success so it's just a matter of flashing the chip

| 07:15 | <muppis> At least one user getting Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server localhost:11.0 while trying to log in. Any ideas?
| |
| 07:21 | ogra_ac has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:22 | <alkisg> muppis: that usually means that the actual error is *before* that one.
| |
| 07:23 | E.g. if X crashes, *then* you'll see that error before the session also dies.

| |
| 07:30 | ogra_ac has quit IRC | |
| 07:30 | <alkisg> muppis: it's possible that there's an error before that, but it doesn't log anything to ~/.xsession-errors
| |
| 07:31 | Did you try disabling compiz?
| |
| 07:31 | !compiz
| |
| 07:31 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "compiz" :: if compiz is giving you problems, one way to disable it for all users is: sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager metacity

| 07:42 | <alkisg> muppis: you should be able to fix at least that: /etc/profile: 29: [[: not found
| |
| 07:43 | /usr/bin/compiz (core) - Fatal: Software rendering detected.
| |
| 07:43 | muppis: also, that means that compiz is running ^^^
| |
| 07:44 | jappiecr has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:44 | <muppis> Haven't caused any problems before on any existing thin, but I purge whole compiz because it isn't used anyway.
| |
| 07:45 | <alkisg> So why is it producing error messages? Is compiz-core still installed?
| |
| 07:45 | <muppis> Yes.
| |
| 07:45 | <alkisg> Right.
| |
| 07:45 | So, try disabling it if you want.
| |
| 07:46 | <muppis> I purge it.
| |
| 07:46 | <alkisg> (03:44:37 PM) alkisg: So why is it producing error messages? Is compiz-core still installed?
| |
| 07:46 | (03:44:48 PM) muppis: Yes.
| |
| 07:46 | So if it is still installed, why are you saying that you purged it?
| |
| 07:46 | I can't understand you.
| |
| 07:46 | <jappiecr> I installed Italc in chroot environment, but have trouble getting it to work. I want to reinstall on the server side only.How do I uninstall it completly?
| |
| 07:46 | <muppis> Sorry, english ain't my native language. I purged it now, after I said that.
| |
| 07:47 | <alkisg> muppis: anyway, my proposal is to run the command above that sets metacity as the window manager.
| |
| 07:48 | <muppis> It was done about two-three weeks ago.
| |
| 07:48 | <alkisg> muppis: can you pastebin your /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/%gconf-tree.xml ?
| |
| 07:49 | <muppis> http://ltsp.pastebin.com/8Q383uQN
| |
| 07:49 | <alkisg> (unless if that .xsession-errors that you pasted in the pastebin above that had the compiz error was even older than that...)
| |
| 07:50 | Right, that must be it
| |
| 07:50 | <muppis> Just recreated account, with fresh homedir
| |
| 07:51 | <alkisg> Hmmm I can't make any sense out of it then... why would compiz run with those settings?!
| |
| 07:54 | Btw, can you also paste your /etc/profile to fix the error there?
| |
| 07:55 | <muppis> http://ltsp.pastebin.com/TCz4Z40t
| |
| 07:55 | <jappiecr> Is there away to undo an installation? If my server was running great at 10 am and I installed something at 10.15am in server and chroot, can I get the system to to the state of 10am again?
| |
| 07:56 | <muppis> jappiecr, using purge or remove commands for those packages instead of install.
| |
| 07:57 | <jappiecr> is there a manual for this?

| 07:58 | <muppis> jappiecr, did you use Synaptic (or any other graphical aoftware) or from command line with aptitude or apt-get to install it?
| |
| 07:58 | software..
| |
| 07:59 | <jappiecr> I installed a program called Italc and did it through command line.
| |
| 07:59 | <alkisg> muppis: you're using thin clients, not fat clients, right?
| |
| 07:59 | <muppis> alkisg, yes.
| |
| 08:00 | fat ones works ok.
| |
| 08:00 | <jappiecr> muppis, I installed a program called Italc and did it through command line.
| |
| 08:01 | <muppis> jappiecr, with aptitude ?
| |
| 08:02 | <jappiecr> muppis, not sure what aptide is? But I followed this manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/iTalc
| |
| 08:03 | is there something in Ubuntu like "system restore" to previous state?
| |
| 08:03 | <muppis> jappiecr, ok. Follow again, but just use lines containing apt-get -command and replace install with purge.
| |
| 08:03 | <jappiecr> muppis, thanks I will try this !
| |
| 08:04 | <muppis> Ofcourse you need use chroot also, and update you images.
| |
| 08:05 | <jappiecr> muppis, do i start from the bottom or from top?
| |
| 08:06 | <muppis> jappiecr, I think this all what you need: sudo apt-get purge italc-master && sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get purge italc-client && sudo ltsp-update-image --arch i386
| |
| 08:06 | As one command.
| |
| 08:06 | methril_work has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:08 | <jappiecr> muppis, will try and let you know.Thanks!
| |
| 08:09 | <muppis> alkisg, I hope the compiz was the reason. If not, I have to check it tomorrow morning, as I'm here now using same hardware than causing the problem.
| |
| 08:09 | <alkisg> muppis: I hope so, otherwise it's making no sense to me :)
| |
| 08:10 | <muppis> Me neither. :)
| |
| 08:11 | But now had to go home.
| |
| 08:15 | <jappiecr> muppis, worked great thanks

| 08:52 | 2010-09-30 13:50:38 GMT
| |
| 08:52 | I installed Italc in edubuntu 10.04 ltsp environment (Tried both ltsp and server-only install!) while I was logged in as administrator. Everything works fine when am logged in as admin. But when I login as one of the teachers (or any other user) Italc tells me there no password found (?) and something with ICA. I tried the documentation but couldn't figure it out. The idea is that all teachers can login with their own account and then start using Italc..
| |
| 08:52 | . Any ideas? Please help!
| |
| 08:52 | ps...I reinstalled Server-only install now ...
| |
| 09:06 | <alkisg> Are the teachers on some special group, e.g. "teachers" ?
| |
| 09:12 | <jappiecr> alkisg, In users and groups (edubuntu) I created a group called teacher and a group called student..and an adminstrator
| |
| 09:13 | <alkisg> jappiecr: that's not a group, that's a user account
| |
| 09:13 | I mean, when you create 10 teachers and 10 students, how will the system know which one is the teacher?
| |
| 09:14 | <jappiecr> alkisg, u mean ubuntu or Italc?
| |
| 09:14 | <alkisg> Ubuntu
| |
| 09:14 | To check for the file permissions
| |
| 09:15 | You need teachers not to be admins but to be able to launch italc, while you don't want students to be able to launch italc.
| |
| 09:15 | Did I understand that right?
| |
| 09:15 | And I'm saying, to do that, you need to put all the accounts into groups, e.g. to have a "teachers" group, and modify the italc keys permissions so that only teachers can access them.
| |
| 09:16 | <jappiecr> alkisg, yes!
| |
| 09:20 | alkisg, In ubuntu I went to user and Groups and added a couple of users. Then I made 2 groups here, teachers and students. Than I went to Profile manager (where it only show the users, but calls them groups(?)). Here I made 2 menus, 1) teachers and 2) students (tried) to make profiles. Then in "profile manager: I made again 3 groups. 1) admin, 2 teacher and 3) students. Then I assigned them to "groups and menu association".
| |
| 09:21 | <alkisg> jappiecr: ls -lha -R /etc/italc
| |
| 09:21 | See the keys there, the private keys are only readable by admins
| |
| 09:21 | So, you need to "chown -R" those to be readable by teachers
| |
| 09:22 | I don't know the exact file names, I don't use iTalc, it crashes too often for me.
| |
| 09:22 | But now you only need a chown command.

I am able to see the scanner via 'scanimage -L' if I SSH into the client's console, but in Gnome, 'scanimage -L' says "No scanners were identified". What can I check to see why this is?

| |
| 10:40 | <Kyle__> Sanity check before I blow things away (and yes I have a backup, but still checking before anyway). If my current image & chroot is named amd64, it will not be affected if I run "ltsp-build-client --arch amd64 --chroot foo". Correct?

| 11:55 | <alkisg> seidos: the installation method is different on standalone machines vs ltsp servers
| |
| 11:55 | On ltsp servers, one just needs to install the italc-master package
| |
| 11:56 | On standalone machines one needs to transfer the generated keys to clients
| |
| 11:56 | A logoff/logon is needed on both cases for the ica service to run
| |
| 11:59 | <jappiecr> alkisg, I am having the same problem as seidos but one cannot only install the italc-master package. It comes with the client package as well I think
| |
| 12:00 | <alkisg> Right, that's necessary too, it's installed as a dependency automatically.
| |
| 12:00 | jappiecr: I don't think you're having the same problem, you just don't know how to change the keys permissions from "admin" to "teachers"...
| |
| 12:00 | italc runs for admins for you, right?

| 12:01 | <jappiecr> alkisg, not anymore. I uninstalled and and reinstalled it. Now it does not work anymore...I now get the message: "could not open configuration file /etc/italc/configfiles/globalconfig.xml"
| |
| 12:02 | <alkisg> You probably put the wrong permissions in that file
| |
| 12:02 | Again, different problem
| |
| 12:02 | With the default installation it runs fine
| |
| 12:03 | <seidos> after reinstalling, it completely removed /etc/italc. so i don't think permissions is the problem.
| |
| 12:03 | <alkisg> seidos: what part removed /etc/italc?
| |
| 12:04 | <seidos> alkisg, i recommended to jappiercr, after he reinstalled and had the problem. to rm his /etc/italc directory. but after uninstalling, the directory was already removed.
| |
| 12:04 | <jappiecr> alkisg, I started trying stuff, so i uninstalled ialc, removed all my groups and users and reinstalled it again. Now It won;t stat anymore. After the initial message that it can't find the globalconf.xml I get the same message as seidos: http://imagebin.org/116427
| |
| 12:05 | <alkisg> jappiecr: I really hate supporting italc because it's too broken for my taste, but I think I can spare a few minutes to get it to run for you with vnc (remote support). Would you like that?
| |
| 12:06 | <jappiecr> YES
| |
| 12:06 | <alkisg> I insist that with the default installation it runs fine (except for its own crashes), but let's see which parts you messed up... :)
| |
| 12:06 | Run: sudo apt-get install x11vnc
| |
| 12:06 | <jappiecr> just tell me what to do...
| |
| 12:06 | <alkisg> x11vnc -noshm -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
| |
| 12:07 | mikkel has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:08 | <jappiecr> alkisg, ok is done
| |
| 12:09 | <alkisg> jappiecr: I didn't receive any connections, did you get any error messages?
| |
| 12:09 | Ah, got it
| |
| 12:10 | <Kyle__> alkisg: instead of using italc can't you just put the VNC module into the x11 config? I haven't actually tried it myself, I'm just saying.
| |
| 12:11 | <jappiecr> is 123
| |
| 12:11 | <alkisg> ok - i was waiting for you to type it ;)
| |
| 12:16 | jappiecr: it's ready
| |
| 12:16 | Now, if the clients have started before the teacher starts italc, he'll see them
| |
| 12:16 | <jappiecr> alkisg, WOUW that is great!
| |
| 12:17 | <alkisg> jappiecr: BUT, I didn't run the teacher chown command
| |
| 12:17 | That's the default installation
| |
| 12:17 | Do you want me to create the teacher group too?
| |
| 12:17 | <jappiecr> alkisg, yes please!
| |
| 12:17 | <alkisg> OK, but you'll need to logoff to get "access" to the new teachers group, wait...
| |
| 12:19 | jappiecr: I copied all the commands I did in case you want to see them,
| |
| 12:19 | so if you want save that gedit file somewhere
| |
| 12:20 | Next, you need to logoff /logon, and I need to change the keys permissions for you
| |
| 12:20 | So come back both here + in the vnc and we'll continue after you logon
| |
| 12:21 | <jappiecr> alkisg, thank you so much! I will logoff/on and get back ok!

| 12:21 | jappiecr has quit IRC | |

| 12:24 | <alkisg> Kyle__: italc offers much more than vnc, though. There's really no other classroom administration tool available (that's why we had to develop our own here in greece when we saw that italc wasn't good enough)
| |
| 12:24 | jappiecr: x11vnc -noshm -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
| |
| 12:24 | <Kyle__> Ahh.
| |
| 12:26 | <alkisg> jappiecr: ready
| |
| 12:27 | The chown command you were looking for was: sudo chown -R root:teachers /etc/italc/keys/private
| |
| 12:27 | <jappiecr> alkisg, great, thank u!
| |
| 12:27 | <alkisg> Now, any user in the "teachers" group will be able to launch italc
| |
| 12:27 | * alkisg closed the vnc viewer... | |
| 12:27 | <jappiecr> alkisg, Now if I want to add user and groups to edubuntu, how do I add the teacher to the teachers group?
| |
| 12:28 | <alkisg> From the users-admin GUI, it's on the system > settings > users and groups
| |
| 12:29 | <jappiecr> alkisg, I see it, great! And so need to make a separte group for students right?
| |
| 12:29 | <alkisg> Not really
| |
| 12:29 | Just don't put the students on the teachers group
| |
| 12:30 | <jappiecr> alkisg, is the italc the related to profiles/profile manager or has nothing to do with this?
| |
| 12:30 | <alkisg> It's unrelated
| |
| 12:31 | <jappiecr> alkisg, Great I will start testing and let you know. One more Q, with this configurtion the teacher can use the italc from thin client as well?
| |
| 12:31 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 12:31 | <jappiecr> THANK YOU!
| |
| 12:31 | <alkisg> So, to sum up: the default "sudo apt-get install italc-master" command works, but a logoff/logon is needed,
| |
| 12:32 | and you also needed to add a "teachers" group and run that chown -R command, nothing more.
| |
| 12:32 | Remember that admins WON'T be able to run italc unless they're in the "teachers" group too.
| |
| 12:32 | (I put administrador in the teachers group for you)
| |
| 12:32 | <jappiecr> thanks!
| |
| 12:33 | <alkisg> You're welcome

| 14:02 | <Kyle__> So I'm testing some new chroots.
| |
| 14:02 | s/chroots/images/

| 14:05 | <abeehc-_> wierd
| |
| 14:05 | with the gx280s as i recall?
| |
| 14:10 | jappiecr has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:10 | <Kyle__> GX620s, but yea
| |
| 14:10 | <abeehc-_> right
| |
| 14:10 | are they fullsize or the little chassis?
| |
| 14:10 | we just looked over ebay and pretty well settled on those
| |
| 14:11 | at 50$ problem with caps don't matter that much
| |
| 14:11 | <Kyle__> Full sized ones.
| |
| 14:11 | <jappiecr> alkisg, Hi i am back again. I started testing and the italc interface will start but my TCś donñt show up. I tried manually adding one in the italc but it say nobody is logged on..
| |
| 14:12 | <Kyle__> If they were mini-chassis I'd be happier, then I could put them on the desks, behind or under the monitors without obstructing the view.
| |
| 14:12 | As it is kids kick them stretching the ethernet & usb cables tight.
| |
| 14:13 | <jappiecr> alkisg, is there anything that I need to do from this page to make it work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/iTalc ?
| |
| 14:13 | <alkisg> jappiecr: no, it should work with the default installation - anything else just makes it worse :D
| |
| 14:14 | <jappiecr> alkisg, yes I experienced this already:-(
| |
| 14:14 | <alkisg> Run x11vnc -noshm -connect alkisg.dyndns.org again if you want, both from where the teacher is logged in and where the student is logged in...
| |
| 14:15 | <jappiecr> alkisg, u mean that i need to login to 2 TC's and use one with teacher account and other with student account?
| |
| 14:15 | <ofirk> alkisg: thank you for your help. I managed to setup a LTSP server and boot from 2 clients
| |
| 14:15 | <alkisg> jappiecr: of course, how else is italc supposed to work?
| |
| 14:15 | ofirk: you're welcome
| |
| 14:16 | <ofirk> alkisg: I tried to play video files and they were a little bit choppy
| |
| 14:16 | alkisg: do you think I need to upgrade the server or the clients (ot both:) ?
| |
| 14:16 | <alkisg> ofirk: ask your problems in the channel, for anyone available to help... :)
| |
| 14:16 | There's no need to direct them specifically to me...
| |
| 14:16 | <jappiecr> alkisg, off course when I tested it I logged from TC's. I mean to run the x11vnc -noshm -connect alkisg.dyndns.org. Or just like I did before from this server?
| |
| 14:17 | <ofirk> alkisg: ok :)
| |
| 14:17 | <alkisg> jappiecr: sit where the teacher will be sitting (either a tc or the server, wherever you want). Login, and run the x11vnc command. Do the same for a student seat.
| |
| 14:17 | <ofirk> Hey everyone :)
| |
| 14:17 | I tried to play video files and they were a little bit choppy
| |
| 14:18 | My setup is a server that is conencted to 2 clients using router
| |
| 14:18 | the network is 100Mb network
| |
| 14:19 | I want to use this setup to run XBMC
| |
| 14:19 | <alkisg> ofirk: do you have LDM_DIRECTX=True in lts.conf?
| |
| 14:19 | It offers speed at a security cost
| |
| 14:19 | <jappiecr> alkisg, teacher done...next is student...
| |
| 14:19 | <ofirk> this directx for windows only?
| |
| 14:19 | <alkisg> No, "direct" "x -windows" :)
| |
| 14:20 | <ofirk> oh :)
| |
| 14:20 | <alkisg> It's linux only :)
| |
| 14:20 | <ofirk> I will put it
| |
| 14:20 | <alkisg> !lts.conf
| |
| 14:20 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "lts.conf" :: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
| |
| 14:20 | <alkisg> And also read the docs if you want more info about it
| |
| 14:20 | <jappiecr> alkisg, student loggin in as well
| |
| 14:21 | <ofirk> do you mean /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf ,right?
| |
| 14:22 | ok, I managed :)
| |
| 14:22 | <vagrantc> stgraber: i don't know when it happens automatically, if at all, but you should sync ltsp-docs from debian ...
| |
| 14:23 | alkisg: or do you know the process of getting updates in?
| |
| 14:23 | sweetpi has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:23 | <alkisg> vagrantc: nope, not sure, I think someone files a bug and requests a sync or something...
| |
| 14:24 | <jappiecr> alkisg, is it easier if I set laguage to English in teacher and student ?
| |
| 14:24 | <alkisg> Nah, don't bother :)
| |
| 14:28 | <ofirk> one of my clients has a nvidia card, do I need to install some drivers in order to use?
| |
| 14:28 | <alkisg> jappiecr: it looks like you've also made some other configuration pages, do you remember following anything else on that page?
| |
| 14:28 | <ofirk> will it boost performance ?
| |
| 14:28 | <alkisg> **configuration changes, I meants
| |
| 14:28 | pmatulis has quit IRC | |
| 14:29 | Lns has quit IRC | |
| 14:29 | <alkisg> ofirk: you need to reboot the client for LDM_DIRECTX to take effect, and it's on /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf, not in /opt/ltsp...
| |
| 14:29 | <ofirk> yes, I found it (it says so in the header of the first conf file)
| |
| 14:30 | but I have another question... regarding nvidia cards
| |
| 14:30 | <jappiecr> alkisg, I made some changes to the config yesteday but I changed nothing after you installed it. I see it give an ip of 127.0.0.1...I configured the ltps to run with 10.0.30
| |
| 14:30 | <ofirk> when I install Kubuntu I need to manually install the drivers in order to use the nvidia card
| |
| 14:31 | do I need to install some drivers in order to use the nvidia card?
| |
| 14:33 | I found some docs talking about the X Windows system and how card loading is done
| |
| 14:34 | I know how to install the driver (using chroot somehow)
| |
| 14:34 | but only 1 client uses nvidia, the other one doesn't
| |
| 14:35 | <alkisg> jappiecr: can you enter the password for administrador on the teacher screen?
| |
| 14:35 | jappiecr: nm :)
| |
| 14:39 | jappiecr: somehow italc is configured to look to /etc/italc/configfiles instead of ~/.italc
| |
| 14:39 | <jappiecr> alkisg, just on my system or is a bug?
| |
| 14:39 | <alkisg> I think that's because you ran some commands and messed up its configuration, BUT it might also be a problem in the package
| |
| 14:39 | * alkisg installs italc to check... :( | |
| 14:40 | <jappiecr> alkisg, most likely i screwed something up:-)
| |
| 14:40 | <alkisg> jappiecr: I *didn't* fix it, it still needs to be fixed

| |
| 14:51 | <alkisg> jappiecr: that path there, I think it was you who put it, right?
| |
| 14:51 | <Kyle__> Allrighty...looks like kubuntu _does_ cause the same issue for my hardware.
| |
| 14:51 | * Kyle__ sighs. | |
| 14:51 | <jappiecr> yes, bI did something like this yesterday I think
| |
| 14:53 | alkisg, yesterday I followed these steps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/iTalc but did not realized that it will still have effect after uninstall
| |
| 14:53 | <alkisg> jappiecr: ok, fixed it, closed vnc
| |
| 14:54 | That wiki page needs to be checked or even deleted... :)
| |
| 14:54 | ah, and it says that's for 8.04, not 10.04, so you shouldn't have followed it
| |
| 14:54 | <jappiecr> alkisg, I'd say! hank you so much again!
| |
| 14:55 | alkisg, somebody pointed me to it and told me I should follow it. It also it is the only info available I could find and
| |
| 14:55 | <alkisg> jappiecr: in the ubuntultsp wiki, if you don't see that the page actually is for your ubuntu version, DON'T follow it
| |
| 14:55 | <Kyle__> So that brings me to the question, how does one build a debian chroot under ubuntu?I'm guessing it's something easy to fix...
| |
| 14:55 | <alkisg> Even if it's the only info you can find
| |
| 14:55 | <Kyle__> E: Failed getting release file http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lenny/Release
| |
| 14:56 | <jappiecr> alkisg, Ill keep your advise! Anyway, many many thanks...you helped getting decent education to some poor Costa Rican Kids come a giant leap closer:-)
| |
| 14:57 | <alkisg> You're welcome :)
| |
| 14:58 | <jappiecr> alkisg, how good does it feel to no longer have to be depend on expensive MS crap software! GNU rules !!! Now we can start working toward recourse based education...and hopefully make a differnce in about 20 years!
| |
| 14:59 | <alkisg> I hope italc works for you, it sure didn't work for me :)
| |
| 15:00 | <jappiecr> alkisg, I hope so too...will start experimenting with it and let u know. ps...on the "flor account" there is still the italc-launcher document open. Do I need to save changes or close without saving?
| |
| 15:01 | <alkisg> Close without saving
| |
| 15:01 | <jappiecr> thanx
| |
| 15:32 | <Kyle__> Doh... just needed --mirror http://ftp.debian.org/debian
| |
| 15:35 | <alkisg> vagrantc: we've modified the debian win32-loader package to install gpxe instead of a linux kernel, so that it offers a "Boot from network" option in the boot loader of windows nt/2000/xp/2003/vista/7.
| |
| 15:35 | I wonder though, would the win32-loader maintainers be interested in providing a gpxe option themselves as part of their package, so that it's properly integrated, internationalized and distributed? It would be helpful to many ltsp users out there...
| |
| 15:35 | <vagrantc> Kyle__: don't use ftp.debian.org, it's deprecated
| |
| 15:36 | Kyle__: and hard on the mirror
| |
| 15:37 | alkisg: i suspect they would, although upstream gpxe isn't really showing any signs of resolving the licensing issues such that it could go into debian...
| |
| 15:38 | <alkisg> Hmmm... Has anyone contacted them? I think they were looking forward to solving whatever issues still remain... :(
| |
| 15:39 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i've contacted them numerous times over the last year, and gotten very little response.
| |
| 15:39 | <Kyle__> vagrantc: Oops. What should I use then? Is it so hard I should cancel the build in progress?
| |
| 15:39 | <alkisg> Ouch
| |
| 15:39 | <vagrantc> a "oh sure, we'd love to do that" is about as much as i've gotten.
| |
| 15:39 | Kyle__: what part of the world are you in?
| |
| 15:39 | <Kyle__> vagrantc: States.
| |
| 15:39 | <vagrantc> Kyle__: ftp.us.debian.org
| |
| 15:39 | Kyle__: probably get better bandwidth, too.
| |
| 15:40 | <Kyle__> Doh. Makes sense. yea. Think it's worth it to cancel and restart?
| |
| 15:40 | <vagrantc> good habit to get into, at least :)
| |
| 15:40 | <alkisg> Kyle__: hardcode ftp.debian.org to /etc/hosts?
| |
| 15:40 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
| 15:40 | alkisg: good hack!
| |
| 15:40 | <sweetpi> Kyle__: debian.lcs.mit.edu should be faster for you
| |
| 15:40 | <alkisg> You'll get an instant change :P
| |
| 15:40 | <Kyle__> OK.
| |

| |
| 15:41 | Heh. My university doesn't have the prestige, or wherewithall, for inet2.
| |
| 15:43 | <vagrantc> ah, someone mentioned mit.edu, so i was wondering... anyways.
| |

| 15:45 | <Kyle__> Wow... what happened to KDE? This kubuntu image is the firs time I've used it in years...its all tarted up with eye candy, and limmited usability.
| |
| 15:46 | it's like vista!
| |
| 15:52 | <vagrantc> every new version of KDE hurts more. :)

| |
| 16:21 | frederickjh: man lts.conf
| |
| 16:22 | frederickjh: LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT
| |
| 16:22 | frederickjh: although you'll want to switch from LDM_AUTOLOGIN to LDM_GUEST_LOGIN
| |
| 16:22 | <frederickjh> Thanks
| |
| 16:22 | <vagrantc> er, LDM_GUESTLOGIN
| |
| 16:23 | <frederickjh> What is the difference?
| |
| 16:23 | between Auto and guest login, that is?
| |
| 16:23 | <vagrantc> LDM_AUTOLOGIN never displays the login screen
| |
| 16:23 | <frederickjh> Ah,
| |
| 16:23 | and guest does?
| |
| 16:23 | <vagrantc> yup
| |
| 16:23 | <frederickjh> Thanks!
| |
| 16:24 | <vagrantc> it will display a button "Login as Guest" or translated if the language is configured/supported

| 16:25 | <vagrantc> the UI is a little clunky ... many people seem confused by it.
| |
| 16:25 | <frederickjh> New question, Is there a way to server up different images to different clients? And if so is there a tutorial somewhere?
| |
| 16:25 | Ah, so it still need user intervention to complete the login unless you use the timeout ?
| |
| 16:25 | <vagrantc> frederickjh: right
| |
| 16:26 | frederickjh: regarding the timeout
| |
| 16:26 | it's definitely possible to serve up multiple images, but in many cases, not necessary to have different images ... you could configure different thin clients differently, for example.
| |
| 16:27 | unless they have conflicting configurations
| |
| 16:27 | <frederickjh> I have normal ltsp Ubuntu Lucid install and want to server up mythbuntu to new clients I want to add while still servering the same image I have now to the exsiting clients. Is that possible?
| |
| 16:27 | <vagrantc> or rather, one requires something be installed, and one requires it not be installed
| |
| 16:27 | ah, specialized cases like that, too :)

| 23:19 | <jappiecr> Any idea how to enable numlock key on thin client at start up_ I installed numlockx on server and work great, but how do I get this to work on my TC's?
| |
| 23:28 | <abeehc-_> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/lts.conf.5.html
