| [15:19] <cog_> Welcome to #edubuntu. | |
| [15:19] <cog_> Hi. May I get assistance in installing Mathematica on a 11.10 Edubuntu computer freshly installed? | |
| [15:22] <highvoltage> cog_: can't gaurantee that we'll have all the answers, but ask away! | |
| [15:25] <cog_> How do I get my DVD mounted? I have tried mount /dev/cdrom ;-; | |
| [15:27] <highvoltage> it should automount when you insert it | |
| [15:27] <highvoltage> check under the /media directory | |
| [15:28] <highvoltage> it usually uses the media name so it might be under /media/cdrom or something like /media/methematica | |
| [15:28] <cog_> No meth, no CD, I get nothing in /media ;-; | |
| [15:29] <highvoltage> you could try this perhaps: | |
| [15:29] <highvoltage> mkdir /mnt/cdrom | |
| [15:29] <highvoltage> mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom | |
| [15:29] <highvoltage> (it will warn that the media is read-only, but that's ok) | |
| [15:30] <cog_> "no media found" or something like that ;-; | |
| [15:39] <highvoltage> you could type "cat /proc/partitions" | |
| [15:39] <highvoltage> perhaps your cd device is called something else | |
| [15:39] <highvoltage> (or not dected) | |
| [15:41] <highvoltage> *detected | |
| [15:42] <cog_> you must specify the fily system type ;-; | |
| [15:42] <cog_> *e | |
| [15:43] <highvoltage> I think it's usually iso9660 | |
| [15:44] <cog_> My computer keeps spinning the DVD somehow... | |
| [15:44] <highvoltage> but if it doesn't detect that automatically then there might be something wrong with the disc or it's using a filesystem that your system doesn't understand | |
| [15:47] <cog_> Oh ._. | |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | |
| [16:55] <alkisg> stgraber: do you want to reuse the squashfs image of the edubuntu live CD to netboot thin/fat clients? Should I try to propose a quick solution for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/950945 ? | |
| [16:55] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 950945 in ltsp (Ubuntu) "package ltsp-client-core (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-common-functions', which is also in package ltsp-server 5.3.2-0ubuntu3" [Low,Confirmed] | |
| [16:59] <stgraber> alkisg: as we dropped the check from the preinst, we might as well fix this one, yes | |
| [16:59] <alkisg> stgraber: one quick way would be to have the same file installed twice, with a different name | |
| [16:59] <alkisg> common-client-functions, common-server-functions | |
| [16:59] <alkisg> (done from the packaging) | |
| [17:00] <alkisg> And have all the client files source the first one, and the server files source the second one | |
| [17:00] <stgraber> alkisg: is the file absolutely identical at the moment? (same md5) | |
| [17:00] <alkisg> stgraber: it's a single file | |
| [17:00] <alkisg> The packaging copies the same file to the ltsp-server and ltsp-client-core package, with the same name | |
| [17:00] <stgraber> ok, so I guess the dpkg magic allowing for identical files to be shipped by two packages is limited to multiarch :( | |
| [17:00] <alkisg> Ah, didn't know about that | |
| [17:01] <alkisg> Another way would be to have an ltsp-common package, but I don't think it makes sense to have that for 1 file | |
| [17:01] <alkisg> We may just adjust the packaging to install it with a different name | |
| [17:03] <stgraber> might be worth checking with vagrant but having two common files sounds like the easiest though requires upstream changes or ugly postinst hack (having ltsp-common-functions.<package-name> with a symlink called ltsp-common-functions) | |
| [17:05] <alkisg> OK, let's wait a few hours, vagrantc will probably show up, so that we reach a common decision | |
| [17:06] <alkisg> I haven't checked the edubuntu dvd since 11.10, but it would be nice to be able to boot fat clients _and_ lower the DVD contents at the same time ;) | |
| [17:07] <alkisg> And it would be fast too, as most of the squashfs image that's needed to netboot the clients would be cached by booting the live dvd itself | |
| [17:12] <alkisg> stgraber: | |
| [17:12] <alkisg> root@alkis:/# dpkg-query -W ltsp-client-core | |
| [17:12] <alkisg> ltsp-client-core 5.3.4+bzr2134-0ubuntu1~ppa2 | |
| [17:12] <alkisg> root@alkis:/# dpkg -S /usr/share/ltsp/nbd-disconnect | |
| [17:12] <alkisg> dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/share/ltsp/nbd-disconnect. | |
| [17:13] <stgraber> doh, wrong path, I think it's in usr/bin ... | |
| [17:13] <alkisg> Oh | |
| [17:13] <stgraber> can you confirm it's in usr/bin? if it's, then I'll just change the path and upload to Ubuntu | |
| [17:13] <alkisg> Indeed | |
| [17:14] <alkisg> /usr/sbin/nbd-disconnect | |
| [17:14] <stgraber> right, fixed in the packaging | |
| [17:14] <stgraber> anything else before I upload 5.3.5? I guess we can fix the ltsp-client-core one for 5.3.6 as it'll likely need some thinking? | |
| [17:14] <alkisg> Could you include the last ltsp-update-kernels commit too? Is it easy for you? | |
| [17:15] <alkisg> I'm using that frequently, I'd like to test it as well | |
| [17:15] <alkisg> (I have chroots that are not available when I run ltsp-update-kernels, and I won't want the kernels deleted) | |
| [17:15] <alkisg> *don't | |
| [17:21] <cog_> I want Superkey functionality like when I used Ubuntu 12.04 :) | |
| [17:23] <stgraber> alkisg: commit 2135? | |
| [17:53] <alkisg> yes | |
| [18:03] <cog_> How do you get that? | |
| [18:30] <alkisg> I guess we can fix the ltsp-client-core one for 5.3.6 as it'll likely need some thinking? ==> you mean ltsp-common-functions? Yeah sure, let's leave something for 5.3.6 :) | |
| [18:33] <stgraber> yeah | |
| [23:33] <cog_> Thank you alkisg :) | |
| [23:34] <cog_> Anyways, I want to mount a DVD in wine, any leads? | |
