| [09:37] <ojwb> there's an incorrect (or at least confusing) link on http://www.edubuntu.org/Download for DVD download | |
| [09:37] <ojwb> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/dvd/current/ which is for daily hardy snapshots | |
| [09:38] <ojwb> rather than http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/7.10/release/ | |
| [09:38] <ojwb> which has the 7.10 DVDs | |
| [09:38] <ojwb> if there's a better place to report this, let me know | |
| [09:39] <ojwb> the comment before says "Edubuntu 7.10 DVD's are available from the following links:" | |
| [10:11] <ogra> ojwb, theer is an edubuntu-website product on lauchpad, you can file it as a bug there | |
| === mario_ is now known as pygi | |
| [12:46] <ojwb> ogra: ah, obvious really - I'll report there | |
| [12:56] <ojwb> hmm, I've just installed from the 7.10 i386 DVD | |
| [12:56] <ojwb> I enabled the nvidia restricted driver | |
| [12:56] <ojwb> then fetched the updates | |
| [12:56] <ojwb> and it's saying they aren't authenticated | |
| [12:57] <ojwb> software sources shows the CD and archive keys are installed | |
| [12:57] <ojwb> is this a known issue? | |
| [13:12] <ogra> ojwb, dont use the edubuntu-server iso, use ubuntu-alternate, edubuntu will become an addon to that in hardy, theer is no development going on on the old edubuntu-server CD | |
| [13:13] <laga> hey ogra :) | |
| [13:13] <ogra> hey | |
| [13:13] * ogra is in a rush atm, preparing for a flight | |
| [13:13] <laga> ogra: thanks for your suggestion to add mythbuntu-diskless to ltsp. couldn't have made my life any easier | |
| [13:14] <ogra> laga, thanks for the patch :) | |
| [13:14] <ojwb> um, this is for 7.10 though | |
| [13:14] <laga> ogra: have a nice flight then :) | |
| [13:14] <ogra> ojwb, oh | |
| [13:14] <ojwb> FWIW, I deleted a duplicate but disabled DVD source in "software sources", and it updated the package lists and seems to be fetching now | |
| [13:14] <ogra> laga, it would be nice to have the patch generate en_GB and set that as default to avoid all the perl errors you get with LANG=C | |
| [13:14] <laga> ogra: i've got another patch which will add NFS overlays (as opposed to the current tmpfs approach). it'll be configurable of course and not change the default behaviour. would that be accepted? | |
| [13:14] <ojwb> in about 4 minutes, I'll see | |
| [13:15] <laga> ogra: oh, that patch. | |
| [13:15] <ogra> laga, sure | |
| [13:15] <laga> ogra: why not use en_US? ;) | |
| [13:15] <laga> ogra: great. | |
| [13:15] <ogra> well, eb_GB is waht ubuntu defaults to if nothing is set | |
| [13:15] * laga currently has some trouble testing patches because he keeps breaking stuff ;) | |
| [13:15] <ogra> so the chroot should behave similar | |
| [13:15] <laga> ogra: ah. i thought it as en_US. ok, will do | |
| [13:18] <ogra> hey, the rootdelay patch looks good, i'll merge that next week | |
| [13:18] <laga> ogra: cool. | |
| [13:18] <laga> ogra: i've just prepared the wake on lan patch. | |
| [13:18] <laga> just needs testing. | |
| [13:18] <ogra> oh, wow | |
| [13:19] * ogra isnt sure he has WOL capable HW here though | |
| [13:19] <laga> i've also added nbdroot= and nbdswap= boot options so you can put kernel + initramfs on a pen drive for example | |
| [13:19] <laga> ogra: i can test it. it's like four lines and not enabled by default ;) | |
| [13:19] <ogra> nbdroot ? isnt that there already ? | |
| [13:20] <laga> ogra: i don't think you can just pass in nbdroot=ip:path | |
| [13:20] <laga> when you boot the kernel | |
| [13:20] <ogra> you do | |
| [13:20] <ogra> have a look at client/initramfs/scripts/ltsp_nbd | |
| [13:20] <laga> if you can do that, i must have missed something fundamental about boot option parsing | |
| [13:20] <ojwb> ogra: seems to be working now | |
| [13:20] <ogra> if [ -n "${nbdroot}" ]; then | |
| [13:20] <ogra> NBD_ROOT_SERVER=$( echo "${nbdroot}" | sed 's/:.*//') | |
| [13:20] <ogra> NBD_ROOT_PORT=$( echo "${nbdroot}" | sed 's/.*://') | |
| [13:20] <laga> yes. | |
| [13:21] <laga> but where is ${nbdroot} set? | |
| [13:21] <ogra> that parsdes nbdroot | |
| [13:21] <ojwb> I guess it had only fetched some of the package files when it downloaded the nvidia driver | |
| [13:21] <ogra> laga, as kernel option :) | |
| [13:22] <ogra> if [ -n "${nbdroot}" ] checks if it exists as kernel option | |
| [13:22] <laga> ogra: if you take a look at /usr/share/initramfs/init you can see that nbdroot is not parsed there | |
| [13:22] <ogra> doesnt need to | |
| [13:22] <laga> oh. | |
| [13:22] <laga> it's magic. | |
| [13:22] <ogra> the kernel parses it and adds it to the env | |
| [13:22] <laga> good, thank you. | |
| [13:23] <laga> that saves me some work actually. great. :) | |
| [13:23] <ogra> anyway, i need to go on packing :) | |
| [13:23] <laga> :) | |
| [13:35] <juliux> hey ogra | |

| [16:04] <stgraber> argh, looks like we have a small problem with italc and ltsp :) | |
| [16:05] <stgraber> I can run ica (client daemon) on a custom port (different one for each thin client) but I can't tell the admin interface which port to connect to ... | |
| [21:25] <soberano> Is it possible to "upgrade" to Edubuntu from an Ubuntu install? | |
| [21:26] <stgraber> yes | |
| [21:26] <soberano> stgraber: easy process? | |
| [21:26] <stgraber> installing the "edubuntu-desktop" package should do it | |
| [21:26] <soberano> ok... I'll check it out... thanks | |
| [21:26] <stgraber> if you want ltsp it's a bit harder (one more package to install and a couple of cmd) | |
| [21:26] <stgraber> is that for a desktop or a server (LTSP) ? | |
| [21:28] <soberano> I've installed Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn in parallels, Mac OS X; but I wanted Edubuntu... now I"m upgrading to Gibbon.. but the Edubuntu install for me didn't work on my Mac | |
| [21:28] <soberano> so I'm looking for the desktop/singler user edition | |
| [21:29] <stgraber> ok, so just upgrade your ubuntu to Gutsy Gibbon | |
| [21:29] <stgraber> then install edubuntu-desktop | |
