| [06:34] <thismamacooks200> if I run a repeating playlist or a long video in *any* media player, it stops playing and the player eventually stop playing sound at all until I close and restart it. I also have the same problem with audio in firefox. Games also will not make sound if firefox or a media player are opened first. | |

| [14:54] <sbalneav> Morning all | |
| [18:15] <Eeyore-Jr> hi. i quite a few questions | |
| [18:15] <Eeyore-Jr> can i use ltsp server as a central login/home/storage server but use standalone machines | |
| [18:37] <sbalneav> Eeyore-Jr: You could | |
| [18:37] <sbalneav> It'd take a bit of modification of things, but not too much | |
| [18:48] <Nubae> Eeyore-Jr: take a look at www.nubae.com theres an article about using ltsp to serve fat clients... which is more or less what u want, except there is no data stored on the client machines | |
| [19:03] <Eeyore-Jr> Nubae: thx | |
| [19:11] <Eeyore-Jr> so ltsp will serve to pii 450 with 512mb ram and work as well as it were if it were running on the server? | |
| [19:12] <Eeyore-Jr> someone referred me here, as i was looking at ubuntu intrepid server and installing ltsp. is there a difference between edubuntu and ubuntu + ltsp ? | |
| [19:12] <Eeyore-Jr> i'm looking for "lean" | |
| [19:13] <sbalneav> edubuntu = ubuntu + ltsp + educational apps | |
| [19:13] <Eeyore-Jr> i've looked at the educational apps, and some of them are cheesy. i've been thinking about paying someone to build some apps | |
| [19:14] <Eeyore-Jr> i guess my question about edubuntu was, is it pre-configured, or does it matter for ltsp ? | |
| [19:14] <Eeyore-Jr> ah, and what about windows apps on wine. run the same way ? | |
| [19:15] <sbalneav> Why not pay to have someone help to make the current apps less cheesy :) That benefits us all, then. | |
| [19:15] <sbalneav> Yes. | |
| [19:15] <Eeyore-Jr> sbalneav: well, yes, there is that | |
| [19:16] <Eeyore-Jr> ok, next question, i can install ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, e17 on ubuntu ltsp and let the end user choose his desktop ? | |
| [19:16] <sbalneav> Well, you simply install whatever desktops you'd like on the server, and then the user can choose from there. | |
| [19:17] <Eeyore-Jr> going the ubuntu server route, i'm going to need xwindows as well | |
| [19:17] <sbalneav> yes | |
| [19:17] <Eeyore-Jr> nm, i'll kubuntu it and then do e17 | |
| [19:35] <Nubae> Eeyore-Jr: if u want ltsp, you're best of sticking with ubuntu | |
| [20:01] <Lns> Nubae! | |
| [20:25] <DrX> how can you see the version of your RAID driver? | |
| [20:58] <sbalneav> DrX: Some context would be useful :) | |
| [20:59] <sbalneav> I mean, uname -a gives you your kernel version, which, depending on your raid driver (i.e. if it's a built in one) is also it's version | |

| [21:21] <Eeyore-Jr> Nubae: ? | |
| [21:21] <Eeyore-Jr> any particular reason why stick with ubuntu? | |
| [21:22] <Nubae> cause ltsp has been heavily tested on Ubuntu only... | |
| [21:23] <Nubae> its definitely gnome reliant | |
| [21:23] <Eeyore-Jr> :( | |
| [21:23] <Eeyore-Jr> guess i'll be a guine pig | |
| [21:23] <Eeyore-Jr> :) | |
| [21:23] <Nubae> doesnt mean u cant run kubuntu, its just apt-getting the ltsp server stuff | |
| [21:24] <Nubae> but u'd have less problems with ubuntu | |
| [21:24] <Eeyore-Jr> ah, that's what i think i'm doing now with bare ubuntu server | |
| [21:24] <Eeyore-Jr> less probelms because edubuntu or ubuntu has better confiugriaon | |
| [22:00] <Eeyore-Jr> i noticed in aptitude there is standalone, vs server ... port forwarding boot requests? | |
| [22:05] <Eeyore-Jr> what is a fused server? | |
| [22:07] <Eeyore-Jr> i suppose i could put the standalone on now and then sepearte the two later | |
| [22:10] <Eeyore-Jr> looks like there is clietn and client-core ... but adept doesn't tell me what is so different about them | |
| [22:18] <sbalneav> ltsp-server-standalone includes the dhcp3-server package being installed. ltsp-server doesn't include the dhcp3-server package. | |
| [22:18] <sbalneav> Most people want the -standalone package, as they typically don't have a dhcp server already. | |
| [22:21] <varikk> Hello all | |
| [22:22] <varikk> can anyone point me to some documentation that explains setting up an edubuntu server for my school and thin clients? | |
| [22:29] <sbalneav> !docs | |
| [22:29] <ubottu> documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | |
| [22:29] <sbalneav> Also: | |
| [22:30] <sbalneav> http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream | |
| [22:31] <sbalneav> Heading home | |
| [22:31] <sbalneav> be on later | |
| [22:32] <Eeyore-Jr> well, i'm about ready to test the idea of ltsp on a consumer machine with 7 clients and see if it works. :) | |
| [23:04] <Eeyore-Jr> k, has anyone tried to use music software with a usb piano keyboard and ltsp server serving the app? | |
| [23:04] <Eeyore-Jr> or i guess the question is, does ltsp recognize the local usb ports | |
| [23:22] <Eeyore-Jr> is there a way to "monitor" a ltsp workstation? ie, see what is going on video wise? | |
| [23:28] <Eeyore-Jr> ah, ha, hit f4 and the ltsp server will install | |
| [23:31] <Eeyore-Jr> hrm, 8.10 does not have a ltsp option | |
| [23:32] <Nubae> really | |
| [23:32] <Nubae> it should... the alpha and beta did | |
| [23:33] <Nubae> make sure its the alternative cd | |
| [23:33] <Eeyore-Jr> i'm on the beta, and f4 only gives normal and minimal | |
| [23:33] <Nubae> alternative cd? | |
| [23:33] <Eeyore-Jr> ubuntu server cd or ubuntu alternate? | |
| [23:33] <Nubae> ubuntu alternate | |
| [23:33] <Eeyore-Jr> is there an ubuntuer server alternate? | |
| [23:33] <Nubae> no | |
| [23:34] <Eeyore-Jr> ah. booting from ubuntu, xubuntu or kuubntu will install ltsp for that particular flavor? or just a base ubuntu ltsp server? | |
| [23:36] <Nubae> particular flavour | |
