| [01:51] <nentis> hi folks | |
| [01:52] <nentis> I have a thin-client which needs a custom kernel. What method should I use to compile and install a new client kernel? | |
| [01:52] <nentis> specifically, I need to get rid of the CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y option in the i386 client kernel | |
| [02:30] <kgoetz> nentis: you'll have to create it a seperate chroot probably | |
| [02:31] <nentis> I can't compile a new kernel using the /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/config-2.6.22-14-386 as a base, and throw it into the existing chroot, then run ltsp-update-kernels? | |
| [02:33] <kgoetz> if the other clients dont mind the chang you could yeah | |
| [02:33] <nentis> all clients are the same. This is a new install. | |
| [02:33] <nentis> ebox 2300SX requires that option be removed. | |
| [09:06] <highvoltage> RichEd: greetings. | |
| [09:06] <LaserJock> ugg is it that late? | |
| [09:06] <RichEd> hello mr carter sir ... | |
| [09:06] <RichEd> and mr LaserJock | |
| [09:06] <RichEd> happy happy merry best etc. | |
| [09:07] <highvoltage> LaserJock: heh | |
| [09:07] <highvoltage> yes, same to the both of you! | |
| [09:09] <LaserJock> RichEd: looks like I got dynamic menus figured out | |
| [09:10] <RichEd> LaserJock: ogra mentioned some success at the (very small & short) meeting on wed | |
| [09:10] <RichEd> can you give me a quick run-down on what can be done with your new feature ... or should I read the spec ? | |
| [09:10] <LaserJock> heh | |
| [09:10] <LaserJock> well I just fixed it | |
| [09:11] <LaserJock> it was complete hosed for a while and I was unsure if it could be reimplemented | |
| [09:11] <LaserJock> but I figured it out with a one-line fix | |
| [09:11] <LaserJock> so now it needs a friendly front-end | |
| [09:12] <LaserJock> perhaps I can get ogra, the pygtk masta, to help there ;-) | |
| [09:12] <RichEd> :) from you ... or are you looking for some labour ? | |
| [09:12] <LaserJock> I've not particularly written a GUI before | |
| [09:12] <LaserJock> although this one should be simple I don't want to promise much | |
| [09:13] <LaserJock> especially since it's 1am and I have a dissertation draft due tomorrow ;-) | |
| [09:14] <highvoltage> LaserJock: how are things with the dissertation? | |
| [09:15] <highvoltage> sounds good if you already have a draft ready :) | |
| [09:15] <RichEd> did you respond to our volunteer guy I mailed you about ? cody ? i wonder if he could get stuck in (with a bit of guidance from an old hand) | |
| [09:16] <LaserJock> RichEd: doh! I forgot. I've know cody for quite some time. I'll try to respond to that email | |
| [09:17] <LaserJock> he's been around the doc team for a long time and is getting his hand into MOTU | |
| [09:17] <LaserJock> not sure if he can code but I'll ask | |
| [09:17] <jsgotangco> hello | |
| [09:17] <LaserJock> highvoltage: *supposed* to have a draft ready | |
| [09:17] <RichEd> hi jsgotangco :) | |
| [09:17] <LaserJock> hi jsgotangco | |
| [09:17] <jsgotangco> LaserJock: why are you still awake | |
| [09:17] <jsgotangco> heh | |
| [09:18] <LaserJock> because I'm pulling my hair out trying to work on my dissertation ;-) | |
| [09:18] <jsgotangco> heh | |
| [09:18] <LaserJock> some days I just hate molecules | |
| [09:18] <LaserJock> my drawing program just won't reopen its own files :( | |
| [09:18] <jsgotangco> so i finally bored myself again and decided to build a dev environment again for ubuntu | |
| [09:19] <jsgotangco> as work is mostly boring stuff | |
| [09:19] <highvoltage> LaserJock: aah :) | |
| [09:19] <LaserJock> jsgotangco: don't you have ... something else to do? ;-) | |
| [09:20] <highvoltage> LaserJock: hey, stop that! | |
| [09:20] <jsgotangco> yeah wrap up series 2 of funding then IPO | |
| [09:22] <jsgotangco> is edubuntu getting an lts? | |
| [09:23] <LaserJock> as far as I know yes | |
| [09:23] <LaserJock> Kubuntu's lack thereof was because of KDE4 | |
| [09:23] <jsgotangco> LaserJock so when will i be calling you as Dr. | |
| [09:23] <jsgotangco> heh | |
| [09:23] <LaserJock> hopefully May | |
| [09:24] <highvoltage> DrLaserJock | |
| [09:24] <highvoltage> that sounds very evil. | |
| [09:24] <jsgotangco> please do not touch "The Lazer" | |
| [09:25] <LaserJock> that's right ;-) | |
| [09:25] <LaserJock> "that's *Dr* LaserJock to you" | |
| [09:25] <jsgotangco> so will you call your next project the alan parsons project? | |
| [09:26] <LaserJock> hmm, I gotta get Project Seabass finished first :/ | |
| [09:26] <LaserJock> sbalneav was supposed to help me with that | |
| [09:27] <jsgotangco> RichEd: how's it going dude | |
| [09:27] <RichEd> jsgotangco: well thanks & self ? (apart from your boring day job that is ?) | |
| [09:28] <jsgotangco> so who's editing the website? me and highvoltage get an occasional email inquiry or two | |
| [09:28] <jsgotangco> they must be still referring to the emails on the website | |
| [09:28] * highvoltage installed the new theme over the weekend | |
| [09:28] <highvoltage> still needs some work and tweaking and fine-tuning | |
| [09:28] <RichEd> jsgotangco: pips1 ... forward on to him & cc me | |
| [09:29] <highvoltage> we still need a new frontpage though :/ | |
| [09:31] <LaserJock> we need .... ACTION! | |
| [09:31] * LaserJock darts about | |
| [09:57] <LaserJock> night all | |
| [11:57] <stmartin> hi! I want to ask you, how to change directory (cd) to desktop on the terminal? | |
| [11:59] <ogra> cd ~/Desktop | |
| [11:59] <stmartin> ok, thanks | |
| [13:13] <highvoltage> hey ogra, how are you doing? | |
| [13:27] <stmartin> how to play subtitle (.sub file) in movie player? | |
| [13:28] <ogra> highvoltage, fine, ltsp just moved to ubuntu-alternate :) | |
| [13:28] <ogra> so hopefully we can drop edubuntu-server with alpha4 now | |
| [13:35] <highvoltage> ogra: oh wow | |
| [13:35] <highvoltage> ogra: I think the alterante CD should've had an LTSP option ages ago | |
| [13:36] <highvoltage> ogra: but LTSP is probably more ready for the masses now than it was previously | |
| [13:36] <highvoltage> stmartin: I think that question might be more suitable for #ubuntu | |
| [13:37] <ogra> highvoltage, well, it was on there for quite some time .... but not documented and theer was no usable kernel on eth ubuntu CD | |
| [13:37] <ogra> it was only dropped for gutsy | |
| [13:37] <highvoltage> aaah | |
| [13:38] <ogra> i switrched to the -generic kernel and changed some bits in the installer integration | |
| [13:39] <highvoltage> ogra: from the end-user side, will there be anything new in hardy for edubuntu? | |
| [13:39] <ogra> apart from the cds goind away ? | |
| [13:39] <ogra> *going | |
| [13:40] <ogra> well, probably lasers menu stuff | |
| [13:40] <ogra> and italc might be in, not sure yet | |
| [13:41] <ogra> hardy+1 will see big changes, i think for hardy the CD redesign will be enough | |
| [13:41] <ogra> i need to cope with its LTS nature .... so better fix bugs than adding new things | |
| [13:42] <ogra> currently most of my time goes into classmate things anyway | |
| [13:44] <highvoltage> yep | |
| [13:44] <highvoltage> I'm getting a Classmate within the next week or so | |
| [13:44] <highvoltage> if you ever want me to test anything, I'll be happy too | |
| [13:45] <highvoltage> yesterday I got my DSL upgraded to 4mbps, so my life will be much, much easier from now on | |
| [13:45] <ogra> i'll ping you if the image autobuilder is done | |
| [13:45] <ogra> then we get daily images | |
| [13:45] <highvoltage> won't have to wait forever when I download something anymore. | |
| [13:45] <highvoltage> ok cool | |
| [13:45] <ogra> it will be rsyncable | |
| [13:45] <highvoltage> ++ :) | |
| [13:46] <highvoltage> then it would take a few minutes at most for me to sync :) | |
| [14:34] <pmvalente> hi | |
| [14:35] <pmvalente> as anybody know how do I put sound working on my thin clients | |
| [15:12] <ZeRoMaX> was looking for some help setting up ltsp on ubuntu gutsy | |
| [15:15] <ZeRoMaX> anyone have any experience on setting this up? | |
| [15:16] <stgraber> Lots of people do, but unfortunately that's the same who don't have much time :) | |
| [15:16] <stgraber> Do you have any specific problem with installing LTSP ? | |
| [15:18] <ZeRoMaX> i was having an error with "This workstation isn't authorized to connect to server" and then i updated sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys and sudo ltsp-update-image | |
| [15:18] <ZeRoMaX> now when my client connects i dont see a login screen anymore | |
| [15:18] <stgraber> oh, that's weird | |
| [15:19] <stgraber> what's the last message you see on the screen (if any) ? | |
| [15:19] <ZeRoMaX> i get into initramfs screen instead | |
| [15:20] <stgraber> hmm, ok, what's the last lines of /var/log/syslog on the server ? | |
| [15:20] <stgraber> any nbd error message ? | |
| [15:26] <ZeRoMaX> dhcpack on 192.168.0.250 to 00:d0:59:81:a8:4b via eth1 | |
| [15:26] <Nubae> hey... does 7.10 not have the groups powerdev and plugdev anymore? | |
| [15:26] <ZeRoMaX> that is the last line in the syslog | |
| [15:29] <stgraber> what's the result of a : ls -lh /opt/ltsp/images/ ? | |
| [15:31] <ZeRoMaX> -rwxr--r-- 1 root toot 140M 2008-01-10 10:18 i386.log | |
| [15:31] <Nubae> I get message from message bus (dbus) saying that powerdev and plugdev are not recognised groups, is that a change in 7.10? | |
| [15:37] <stgraber> argh, why is it .log ?? | |
| [15:37] <stgraber> it should be .img :) | |
| [15:37] <stgraber> ZeRoMaX: try renaming it to i386.img | |
| [15:40] <ZeRoMaX> my mistake its actually i386.img | |
| [15:40] <ZeRoMaX> read it wrong | |
| [16:16] <stgraber> ZeRoMaX: can you check your syslog for any "nbd" or "nbd-server" message, usually when you get an initramfs prompt, it's because it was unable to mount the hdd image over nbd | |
| [16:25] <ZeRoMaX> ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250 (192.168.0.250) | |
| [16:26] <ZeRoMaX> ndb-server[6052]:connect from 192.168.0.250, assigned file is /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img | |
| [16:27] <ZeRoMaX> ndb-server[6052]: size of exported file/device is 146485248 | |
| [16:30] <stgraber> hmm, ok so it's not a nbd issue | |
| [16:31] <stgraber> can you try removing splash and silent from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default ? | |
| [16:31] <stgraber> and booting your client again, you should at least see more information | |
| [16:31] <bddebian> Heya | |
| [16:33] <stgraber> hi bddebian | |
| [16:34] <bddebian> Hello stgraber | |
| [16:38] <ZeRoMaX> when i check the eth0 setting on the client i noice the ip address are different | |
| === juliux_ is now known as juliux | |
| [19:17] <methods[laptop]> how do i install by category ? | |
