| [02:24] <Ahmuck> hi. if the server motherboard does not have sound, does the ltsp client that does have onboard sound produce sound ? | |
| [03:02] <stgraber> Ahmuck: should be | |
| [03:07] <Ahmuck> stgraber: thx. found the anser ealier in #ltsp | |
| [03:36] <Ahmuck> my final question. i'd like to offer ubuntu, kubuntu and opengeu as desktops, perhaps xubuntu as well. these all have sepearate menus. in my testing after "sudo aptitude install kubuntu" i noticed kubuntu items with ubuntu items. is there a way to isolate menus | |
| [03:36] <Ahmuck> well, next to final. i assume there is a way to "strip" out menu items that require super user access? | |
| [03:52] <Ahmuck> i assume that i can do normal partitioning, (/, /home, /var, /tmp, /usr/local)? | |
| [03:56] <HedgeMage> Ahmuck: they are only presented to people in the sudoers file anyway | |
| [03:56] <Ahmuck> HedgeMage: thx u, thx u | |
| [03:57] <Ahmuck> i was logging in as a sudoer and noticed the menu selection, have not got as far to test with a normal user | |
| [03:58] <HedgeMage> np | |
| [04:04] <Ahmuck> is the wiki a comprehensive manual? | |
| [04:04] <Ahmuck> that is what i'm looking for now. reading on adding users, etc. | |
| [04:19] <helpme> hi sorry if i wrong. i want to ask about ltsp 5. problem with old machine ACPI: DMI BIOS year==0, assuming ACPI-capable machine, somebody help? | |
| [04:21] <Ahmuck> helpme: always just ask/state your question/problem | |
| [04:31] <helpme> my problem how to set acpi off, in etherboot enviroment? | |
| [04:46] <helpme> anybody using etherboot? | |
| [04:48] <Ahmuck-Jr> can user and groups be managed via a thin terminal? | |
| [04:55] <helpme> can | |
| [04:59] <Ahmuck-Jr> under "System --> Administration --> Users and Groups" the "Add User" is grayed out. I'm confused | |
| [06:05] <Ahmuck-Jr> www.adobe is causing a hard lockup of the client. requires a reboot. | |
| [10:55] <Net_> Did you have a meeting on Wednesday? | |
| [13:23] <mssmss> hi there | |
| [13:25] <mssmss> I can't seem to get more than 2 thin clients boot at once on 8.04.01. looks like dhcp is crawling | |
| [13:27] <mssmss> looks like other people had the same problem | |
| [13:27] <mssmss> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2008-September/002649.html | |
| [13:27] <mssmss> but could not find any solution ... | |
| [13:27] <mssmss> anyone know about this ? | |
| [13:29] <mssmss> I can get multiple clients to work if I turn on one, wait until it is completely booted, then turn on the next one... | |
| [13:29] <mssmss> logs show dhcp DISCOVER/OFFER messaged long after the client has booted, coming in at 15 s intervals | |
| [13:31] <mssmss> anyone here ? | |
| [13:47] <mssmss> anyone familiar with ltsp edubuntu 8.04.1 ? | |
| [13:55] <nubae> familiar, yes, but your problem doesn't sound familiar | |
| [13:58] <nubae> mssmss: do you have remote logging enabled? | |
| [14:06] <mssmss> you mean for the log files ? | |
| [14:06] <nubae> yes | |
| [14:07] <mssmss> not sure .. did not touch a thing on the server .... standard installation 8.04.1 of Edubuntu with only network config done ...\ | |
| [14:08] <nubae> then it should be ok... did u try upgrading to the latest sets of packages | |
| [14:08] <mssmss> other people have seen the same issues with dhcp ...link I posted above | |
| [14:08] <nubae> enabling hardy-updates | |
| [14:09] <mssmss> no.....don't have internet in the location yet .. installed from a CD ..am in India ...but the school is in a rural area with scant internet connectivity | |
| [14:10] <nubae> hmmm, I would advise ordering the intrepid ibex CD | |
| [14:10] <nubae> hardy is known to have some issues, and without updates, it could be anything... | |
| [14:10] <mssmss> but does it not have a shorter support cycle ? also is it an upgrade from Hardy or should I do a completely new install ? | |
| [14:12] <nubae> u can upgrade I believe... it does have a shorter support cycle, but if you cannot do upgrades from the internet, I dont think you have to worry about that ;-) | |
| [14:12] <nubae> anyway intrepid is supported for 18 months | |
| [14:14] <mssmss> :-) | |
| [14:14] <mssmss> hopefully it's only a short term issue ...hoping to see some connectivity within the next six months | |
| [14:41] <Ahmuck> good morning. i'm looking for "boot rom?". is anyone familiar with this method? | |
| [14:41] <Ahmuck> i understand i can install a chip on the nic. does the chip have boot rom already on it or does one flash the nic to get the boot rom there? | |
| [17:04] <sbalneav> Morning all | |
| [18:29] <Ahmuck> good morning | |
| [18:51] <sbalneav> Morning | |
| [22:30] <Ahmuck> nubae: on a fat client setup does one need the same amount of memory on the server? processing power? or is that all offloaded to the client? | |
| [22:35] <Ahmuck> i'm getting ready to ditch the server idea if i can offload to 1Ghz clients | |
| [22:35] <Ahmuck> and make them fat clients. the 1Ghz clients will only cost me 50.00/machine | |
