I have all the CDs, Kubuntu, Mythbuntu, Ubuntu Desktop, Server, Xbuntu, etc.but it seems adding kde desktop using them is beyond my knowledge. I issue these commands; sudo mount /dev/cdrom sudo apt-get install kde-core etc, but it's taken over 24 hours downloading the files from the Internet on my slow link. There should be a way to install directly from cd without needing the Internet, pls help.

Have you filed a bug in <a target="_blank" href="http://Launchpad.net">Launchpad.net</a> with this information? Can you also include which hardware is used on the clients, the output of dmesg from the clients would be useful if you can get it. -Jonathan ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:29:10 +0200 From: "Jonathan Carter (highvoltage)" <<a ymailto="mailto:jonathan@ubuntu.com" href="mailto:jonathan@ubuntu.com">jonathan@ubuntu.com</a>> Subject: Re: Edubuntu - configuring for multiple monitor support To: <a ymailto="mailto:edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com" href="mailto:edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Message-ID: <<a ymailto="mailto:48D78F96.3070809@ubuntu.com" href="mailto:48D78F96.3070809@ubuntu.com">48D78F96.3070809@ubuntu.com</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi Tom Tom Reaney wrote: > I would like to use Edubuntu and OpenOffice Impress to drive three > seperate VGA video outputs for three monitors functioning as > message/information screens in a Secondary School.

Perhaps you mean PCI or AGP slots? ISA cards aren't supported in many Linux distributions. ISA slots are those big old black slots (picture on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry_Standard_Architecture" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry_Standard_Architecture</a>). I've read previously that if you want to have unique content on each display, you can only go up to 2. I think that you'll be able to get a cloned output with 3 displays with the tool that is available from the Preferences menu (Labeled Screen Resolution). Do you already have the hardware? -Jonathan ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:36:39 +0200 From: Reiner Schmid <<a ymailto="mailto:reischmid@gmx.de" href="mailto:reischmid@gmx.de">reischmid@gmx.de</a>> Subject: Hardy 8.041 ltsp dhcp frozen?

I didn?t upgrade, I wanted a complete new installation on my server. So I worked with two test clients at home and noticed a strange behaviour. The server worked very very slowly at some times, there was no chance to work as admin on the server. It was during boot process of the clients. But I didn?t want to notice it ....... But now at school (9 clients) the freezing process has the result, that only two clients reached the status of ldm screen. The others had no contact to the dhcp3-server .... So I tried at home stopping and starting the dhcp3- server (3-seconds-period) with sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart during boot process of one client Gutsy no problem: You can start and stop dhcpd after few seconds. No freezing! Hardy First no problem. But during boot you are able to freeze the dhcpd. I tried this with a second server. The same bug! Perhaps there are more users who suffer from the problem. *TOPIC: DHCP server (sometimes) not found <a href="http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=830748" target="_blank">http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=830748</a> ***Thanks Reiner -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
