  1. I've been using this one recently. It's even got configuration wizard on the website to help out setting the tonnes of possible options infinite, circular jQuery carousel --- CarouFredSel 5.2.3
  2. to echo the other posts it sounds broken to me I've used this in the past: Mysql Monitor Tool | Free Development software downloads at SourceForge.net This is handy to let you see what's going on in the mysql part. For example we had a lot of slow down on a new server due to the login requests not be processed fast enough and queuing up. We were able to see then easily in the process list, see what the issue was and then search for answers around this.
  3. The Joomla system doesn't run PHP - the ubuntu server it's hosted on runs apache/ PHP and Joomla uses this. To update php on the ubuntu server log into it and run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and this will upgrade all the system packages including PHP to the lastest version for the version of ubuntu the host is running. If you don't have root access to the ubuntu server - sahred hosting etc - then you can't upgrade the php version.
  4. why not just turn on moolde ldap authentication? That way when users log in for the first time their account is automatically created. You can then use the moodle settings to pull in all the ad user information you want (names, id number etc) and moodle will automatically get these records up to date on each login.
  5. or a transparent proxy
  6. I have had moodle running for some time find on windows 2008 R2 SP 1 with apache 2.2 and mysql. We use the apache sspi module with the .htaccess method from moodle.org Recently we've been getting errors like: [Tue Sep 20 18:08:31 2011] [crit] [client 178.103.60.247] configuration error: couldn't perform authentication. AuthType not set!: / This is causing a lot of cpu activity and very slow log ons The authname and authtype are set in the .htaccess file and liuke I say it has been working any ideas please. If I can't solve it early tomoorw then i'm going to have to trun of single sign in, which isn't going to make me any friends
  7. the idea of LFS is really to roll your own distro. So a vm would be fine as you then spit out an iso at the end to allow it to be installed into some hardware.
  8. you could try winTPC which is the slimmed down windows 7. It's more a web client then a thin client. I was playing with over the weekend and it's pretty good. You can download a 90 day trial from microsoft
  9. something like this?: Simple Stream VLC to Website - VideoLAN Wiki

    chrome books

    Hi We're talking about ways in which we can start to look at the cloud/ VDI etc. One of the options we'd like to explore is the chromebook. I wondered if anyone had a contact as google that could get us a couple of devices for trailing? Dan

    What server OS

    you can use Centos or Scientific Linux which are both essentially re-branded RHEL As for the OP I would say best bets are Ubuntu Server or Centos if you want a full Linux distro FreeNas if you really want just nas functionality Zentyal if you want a free linux based server but want a simpler setup
  12. given apples recent moves I'd wait out before buying an android based tablet en mass. I think it;'s unlikly but if Apple win you could find support for the galaxy goes the way of the dodo
  13. it's pretty worrying that you have a live pc on your network that you nothing about. if it's not serving a printer and is running win 98 then i'll guess by now it's part of a bot net and spamming the heck out of half the known world
  14. It's different enough, if you just upgrade your not going to make any friends. Best bet is set up a seperate moodle 2.1 install and use mnet to link the two together. then put some training resources and sample courses on the new 2.1 install so that the tutors can log in and take a look. This will let them have a play and get used to moodle 2.
  15. you should look into google apps for education or live @edu. both give students a block of cloud storage which would replace their personnal drive and give them access to them from any where on the internet. We also allow access to usb drives. We have AV everywhere and come down like a ton of bricks on students that abuse the system.
  16. each of our students has a personal learning plan on our moodle VLE. Parents have access to that plan via a separate parent account and so can see their wards progress. We also use this plan heavily as part of parents evening.
  17. oh I don't know about that. Should be pretty quick just to try with one
  18. use windings. there's a box in there.
  19. How do I move an off-screen Window in Windows 7?
  20. no it's vmware esx 4
  21. no it's the 64bit version and the machines a VM
  22. Hi all What's the difference between free and available memory in the windows 2008 task manager? We have a moodle server running on windows 2008 that keeps running out of free memory. We bounce the apache and mysql services and then get over a gig of 'free' memory back. the server show over 3 gigs of avaiable memory
  23. I'm loving the fact that it's clearly based on Windows Phone Mobile 7 - and we all know what a great success that was
  24. you could run edubuntu in virtualbox on the host machine. This comes with the linux terminal server project built in. You'd then pxe boot the clients and would get a full linux desktop on each with internet, open office and other goodies
  25. astro file manager with the smb extension lets you do this I believe.
