hi, im using ubuntu dapper with ltsp and i was wondering if it's possible to lock terminals to specific users; i.e from terminal A only user A can log in, from terminal B only user B?
04:34
i use my installation as a small kiosk, so i have users like: terminal1, terminal2, people using terminals are told to login into terminal 1 as user terminal1 but sometimes they don't :-) and they log as terminal1 to both terminal 1 and 2, and for example when one of them starts oowriter it shows up on the other's screen

yemu, https://wiki.edubuntu.org/WritingLTSP5Plugins
04:44
err, sorry https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HowtoWriteLTSP5Plugins
04:44
that will give you a kiosk mode with autologin
04:45
<yemu>
thanks, i'll try that (in near future :-), because now i can't risk destroying my production server
04:46Capricorn^80 has quit IRC
04:47
<ogra>
you can just copy /opt/ltsp/i386 to /opt/ltsp/i386-kiosk and do the stuff described in the howto manually as well ;)
04:47
<yemu>
and now i'm using ltsp 4, so probably i'll upgrady to edgy and install ltsp5
04:47
<ogra>
oh207, right, ltsp4 is different
04:47
oops
04:47
oh ...
04:47* ogra kicks xchats autocompletion
04:58
<pipedream>
we're just starting to install ltsp5 on dapper, in order to set up a fat diskless system like above, so install ldap-client and all the apps as well
04:58
and nfs mount stuff

05:21Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC
05:23
<ogra>
cliebow, they use different tftp locations and different kernels ..., if you manage to keep these distinct it should work ... but its usually not recommended for joe averageuser
05:25
<cliebow>
i thought so..but the ssh tunnel bothered me
05:26
<pipedream>
with the fat diskless that will no longer run. just like that plugin for the kiosk. not ldm, but gdm
05:26
<ogra>
pipedream, ??
05:29bobby_C has quit IRC
05:29meduxa has quit IRC
05:34
<pipedream>
hi
05:34
the kiosk plugin basically does apt-get install gdm firefox, and then some config files, right
05:34
and then it has local authentication, not ldm -> ltsp server
05:34
that local auth could be ldap or nis itself pointing back at the same or another server
05:35
<ogra>
thats what we'll do for th fat clients
05:36
for a kiosk mode you want /home to be wiped out running gdm and firefox locally with /home in a tmpfs is the easiest way t achieve that
05:37
gdm is only used for respawning firefox here ...
05:37
<pipedream>
oh
05:38
Ja, we want to do fat clients
05:38
<ogra>
i got it running here already, will be in my next ltsp package upload
05:38
(end of the week or so)
05:42
<pipedream>
cool
05:45
<ogra>
the ldap integration bits are missing yet though
05:45
but they'll hit the distro during feisty development
05:47
<pipedream>
you just install ldap-client right
05:48
doesn't sound too hard
05:48
but we'll probably backport to dapper for a while
05:48
would be nice if those were available somewhere
05:48
dapper runnign ltsp5 serving an image of ubuntu-latest-stable
05:49
<ogra>
hard to do, i'm still fiddling with it
05:49
in edgy the localdevice stuff wass very deeply integrated
05:50
i have to find a way to either disable it or backport it as well, but the packages are in universe, so ltsp-build-client would break
05:50
(ltsp-build-client only works with main packages)
05:52
<cliebow>

following the instructions for LDAP on Debian on this page: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LDAP#Installing_the_slapd_package
08:01
ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=ltsp,dc=org" -f people_group.ldif -W
08:01
Enter LDAP Password:
08:01
ldapadd: no DN specified
08:02
what does no DN specified mean?
08:02
new to ldap btw
08:02
THis works -> ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=ltsp,dc=org' '(objectclass=*)'

dont you want to slapadd?
08:13
<mzilikazi>
hmm well slapadd is there but apparently uses a different syntax - I was just following what the docs say :)
08:15
<cliebow_>
guess i should look at the docs before i shoot my mouth off
08:16danrez has joined #ltsp

<cliebow_>
are you setting up the server side then?
08:16
<mzilikazi>
yep
08:17
<cliebow_>
and you are migrating a database?
08:17
<mzilikazi>
the .ldif i created has 2 entried for dn - is it just a nater of feeding the right info to ldapadd?
08:17
new database
08:17

cause the Gadmwister is handy thhere too
08:49
i dont see any top dn
08:49
<mzilikazi>
what would a top dn look like?
08:49
what is the syntax?
08:49
sorry - very new to ldap
08:50
<cliebow_>
17788 is my top
08:51
<mzilikazi>
so it is like this then?
08:51
dn: 17788
08:52
perhaps I could see your .ldif?
08:53
<cliebow_>
17789..hope you can read between the lines
08:54
so that is like the top skeleton
08:56
it comes out like 17791
09:02
<mzilikazi>
well thanks for your help - must run to work now

11:03
example
11:05
I install ltsp5 sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone, later I execute $ sudo ltsp-build-client, I would like to know as I configure lts.conf. . to adjust the video of the workstations?

hello im tryin to follow this howto:
13:52
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Convert_Ubuntu_to_Diskless
13:53
it tells how to setup a dhcp tftp serevr so that it can boot a diskles ubuntu terminal server ...
13:53Sp0oKeR has quit IRC
13:53
<bip>
now i have reached this line:
13:53
sudo cp -Rp /etc/mkinitramfs /etc/mkinitramfs-pxe
13:54
but doesnt work, well there is no /etc/mkinitramf dir at all i wonder if i m doing something wrong or if that howto make some assumption i dont understand
13:55
is some ubuntu power user and/or developer is around some help will be apppreciated :)
13:55
<vagrantc>
that howto seems braindead.
13:55
<bip>
ah thanx vagrantc
13:56
so at least it s not my fault :)
13:56
i have been goin crazy with that for a coupla days
13:56
<vagrantc>
i would just install ltsp-server, run ltsp-build-client, and then: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
13:56
<bip>
it s reassuring to be told is not just me bein dumb vagrantc ;-)
13:56
wait wait
13:56J45p3r_ has joined #ltsp
13:56
<mz_work>
well i just got ltsp set up on Debian for the first time - all by reading the docs on http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WebHome
13:56
<bip>
im not tryn to perform aplain ubuntu ltsp install vagrantc
13:57
<jammcq>
they probably forgot to tell you to create that directory first
13:57
<bip>
that howto is a èart of a larger set of howtos
13:57
<vagrantc>
bip: what are you trying to do?
13:57
<bip>
telling how to do a slightly non standard setup
13:57
i ll try to explain
13:57
but i post u the main page of the project
13:58pscheie has joined #ltsp
13:58
<bip>
so u can have a look yourself vagrantc jammcq
13:58
ok ?
13:58
:)
13:58
<vagrantc>
sure
13:58
<bip>
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/%E3%81%BF%E3%82%8B_directory_server
13:59
ok the idea is that
13:59
is to install a ltsp bmachien along with a directory server and a nas
13:59
if i have understood ythe documentation well
14:00
the ltsp srevr it self is diskless and receives its fs and boot file form the nas machine(file server) while the miru directory server runs the relevant dhcp and tftp daemons ok ?
14:01
<vagrantc>
ok.
14:01
<bip>
so basically it s ltsp deployement in which
14:01
authentication terminal serving and nfs esportingf r done b 3separate machines ok
14:01
<vagrantc>
i would just install ltsp-server, run ltsp-build-client, and then: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install ltsp-server
14:01
<bip>
and the ltsp server itself it s diskless as far as ii can understand ?
14:01
<vagrantc>
:)
14:02
i've thought about implementing that sort of setup many times.
14:02
<bip>
but where ?
14:02
the server machine should be diiskless
14:02
so basically those things should be served by the directory and file server
14:02
<vagrantc>
well, install to a temporary machine, build the ltsp environment, and copy the ltsp environment to your ltsp server's NFS server.
14:03
<bip>
yeah i m workin at the temporary machine right now
14:03
that howto i was quoting was about that
14:03
maybe they just forhot aline as jammcq said
14:03
<vagrantc>
yeah, but it reimplemented a lot of work.
14:03
<bip>
i ll try that
14:03
<vagrantc>
a lot of work we've already done with ltsp
14:04
<bip>
wel wait if u check the second url that i pasted
14:04
<vagrantc>
i did...
14:04
<bip>
u can find a link to a mue cow howto
14:04
<vagrantc>
!quickstart
14:04
<ltspbot>
vagrantc: Error: "quickstart" is not a valid command.
14:04
<vagrantc>
!ubuntuquick
14:04
<ltspbot>
vagrantc: "ubuntuquick" is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
14:04
<bip>
i think it s a bit messy
14:04
yeah i know those docs ...
14:05
i was juyst tryint to follow that howto
14:05
<vagrantc>
you'll have to do some weird things to make the ltsp client an ltsp server, but not that difficult.
14:05
<bip>
if it s wrong maybe the author should be told so
14:06
u know i like the idea of keepin terminal servin siorage and authentication separated
14:06
if i keep em as separate blocks becomes easier for me to manage em
14:06
<vagrantc>
it's not wrong, it's just a a really complex way to re-invent the wheel.
14:06
<bip>
maybe i m wrong
14:06
what wheel ?
14:06
sory if i sound extra dumb ...
14:06
<vagrantc>
well, it's essentially implementing an ltsp server in a NFS root environment, no?
14:06
<bip>
i have been missing some sleep lately ;-)
14:07
<vagrantc>
what's a well supported NFS root environment?
14:07
LTSP :)
14:07
<bip>
yeah but the nfs servin is done by the nas
14:07
and the ltsp machine itself it s diskless
14:07
<vagrantc>
and how does that really change anything?
14:07
<bip>
and the authentication is carried by a separated machine that does dhcp and tftp too
14:08
it shouldn t
14:08
<vagrantc>
so, it's implementing an Ubuntu NFS root environment?
14:08
<bip>
that s why i dont understand why it doesnt work like it should
14:08
well
14:08
wait
14:08
the machine serving the terminals is ubuntu
14:08
but the file server is FreeBSD based
14:09
but if nfs is a plain ol unix standard
14:09
that shouldn t be a problem i think vagrantc
14:09* vagrantc wonders how using multiple OSes makes it easier to manage.
14:10
<bip>
no it doesn t ...
14:11
but i wanted to replicate it before thinkin about improving it
14:12
<jammcq>
vagrantc: maybe this is Novell/Suse's answer to thin clients :)
14:12patrickb_ has joined #ltsp
14:12
<vagrantc>
this seems like such a convoluted setup, but i don't understand what the goals really are.
14:12
jammcq: yes, they seem a little slow on the draw.
14:13
<jammcq>
heh, ya think?
14:13
<vagrantc>
bip: what do you *want* ?
14:13
bip: or, what about this model looks good to you?
14:13
<bip>
well i want have 3 separated bserver but just a single set of disk
14:13
and full active directory iintegratio as that model semms to promise
14:14
not sure it delivers
14:14
<vagrantc>
well, i'm not at all knowledgeable about active directory, but i know how to put all your disks in one place.
14:14
<bip>
apparently they that that directory server can totally replace a ms windows domain controller
14:14
i know that is only a part of the problem
14:15
i was attracted by the whole package
14:15
and u know what i found amusing ?
14:15
was novel using bsd and ubuntu to get that done ;-)
14:15* vagrantc found that a little strange, yes.
14:15
<bip>
isn t amusing they don use suse to do that ? ;-)
14:15
<jammcq>
it's called "leveraging" :)
14:15
<bip>
i have a weird sense of humor actually ;-)
14:16
like when i give the finger ...
14:16
and say leverage that jammcq = ;-)
14:16
<vagrantc>
in this model, are there both thin clients and ... fat diskless clients?
14:17
<bip>
yest if the drawing isn t lying
14:17
there should be both vagrantc
14:17
i think there is a bit of marketing hype in it
14:17
the documents appear very well done
14:17
but there s some stuff missing
14:17
<vagrantc>
yeah, it sure is purty.
14:17
<bip>
maybe we should reverse leverage em jammcq ;-)
14:18
<vagrantc>
why do people who make purty things that don't work make money?
14:18
<bip>
i beg your pardon
14:18
what means purdy ?
14:18
i m still a furner ..
14:18
i can say funky things like givin da finger ...
14:19
and still ignore what purty means ;-)
14:19
<vagrantc>
bip: it's a heavily accented pronunciation of "pretty"
14:19
<bip>
ah ok
14:19
it looks well
14:19
but doesnt deliver
14:19
then lets setal em da toy
14:19
let s make it pretty and working as well ;-)
14:19
oops
14:19
sorry
14:20
then lets *steal*l em da toy
14:20
then lets *steal* em da toy
14:20
let s make it pretty and working as well ;-)
14:20
:)
14:20* vagrantc has to go do stupid things that make money.
14:20
<bip>
not now ...
14:20
but ...
14:20
i m working on this
14:20
i hace steup a virtual replica of that solution
14:21
and i want to get it working
14:21
then figure how to do it better ...
14:21
and give novell the finger it deserves ;-)
14:22
oh sorry ...
14:22
<vagrantc>
i'd just skip the freebsd part, use debian or ubuntu, and use the ltsp-server software to build all the NFS environments.
14:22
<bip>
oh well those bsd appliances r the nicest part of it
14:22
have u ever checked something called m0n0wall ?
14:23
the first thing i wanna get rid of is the ubuntu part and use plain ol debian instead
14:23
then i want to see if the bsd part can be replicated with debian too
14:23
well i might be wrong
14:23
<vagrantc>
never heard of m0n0wall, no.
14:23
<bip>
but there is something good in their idea
14:24
ok m0n0wall is a bsd based firwall
14:24
designed to run from ol recycled pc
14:24
or tiny embedded devices
14:24
it s almolt all gui driven
14:24
and u set it upo in 5 minutes
14:24
<vagrantc>
i would think the time spent trying to replicate their strange ideas woudl be better spent doing it a more consistant way.
14:24patrickb has quit IRC
14:25
<bip>
and leave it wait wait
14:25
m0n0wall is a real c00l lil thing
14:25
i have used it often
14:25
basically their directory server and NAS r m0n0wall soin oofs
14:25
the use the same interface and write configs into xml files
14:26
consistency in interface is a good thing
14:26
if the model u start from is a good one
14:26
but of courese i could be more or less wrong
14:26
course
14:26* vagrantc seeks work
14:26
<bip>
probably more ;-)
14:27
me too
14:27
my ltsp project got aguge set back :(
14:27
s/aguge/huge
14:27
basically hour ...
14:27
lemme see
14:28
we had a political guardain angel ...
14:28
if tha makes any sense in english
14:28
anyhow she was elected to a more important position
14:28
and suddenly the funding disappeared ;(
14:29
and i m makin a very long story super duper short vagrantc
14:29
<vagrantc>
yeah, i was wondering how that was going ...
14:30
<bip>
ok
14:30
well its back to square one where i was ine year ago
14:30
i have written
14:30
tried
14:30
chatted
14:30
experimented and learned
14:30
but i didn have the moneyt or a place to run it a year ago
14:30
<vagrantc>
bip: is this is the project for computers in cuba?
14:31

Hi to everybody!
15:21
I have a "Philosophical question"
15:22
I have a k12ltsp server
15:22
I have some users that need to use graphical applications, and I want to give them a good resolution and fast answer
15:23
I need oversized video cards in server, in workstations or in both?
15:23Lumiere has left #ltsp
15:23
<knitoperu>
Who gives the video power? Server's video card, workstation's video cardss or both?
15:25
<vagrantc>
knitoperu: in workstations.
15:26
jammcq: any idea how to get the video card in that little thin-client to eat less of the system memory? it seems to be grabbing 32 out of 128 available ... i'd rather have a little more system memory...
15:26
tried looking in the bios, but didn't see anything obvious
15:28
<knitoperu>
If I have a 16 Mb video card in server and a 256 Mn video card in workstation, I would have more pixeles in workstation session that in server's session?
15:40
<jammcq>
knitoperu: well, you could, depending on the monitor and other factors
15:40
just keep in mind, the X configuration on the client is completely independent of any X configuration on the server
15:41
vagrantc: umm, I'm not at the office right now. I'll be there tomorrow, and I can look at the video config
15:41
<knitoperu>
Then, that's a thing to have a non so thin client!
15:42
<vagrantc>
jammcq: cool. thanks :)
15:42* vagrantc is still waiting for a monitor
15:45
<knitoperu>
Thankyou jammcq
15:46
<vagrantc>
knitoperu: i will likely be working with not-so-thin clients in the near future.
15:47
soon as i get a monitor, mouse and keyboard for this thing ... got some offers from the local linux user's group.
15:47* vagrantc is impatient

18:47
<vagrantc>
bip: sure
18:47
<bip>
:)
18:47
ok i m sorry i cut it short ...
18:47
but we live in different time zones ...
18:47* vagrantc is experiencing really itchy and swollen toes from a suspected spider bite
18:48
<bip>
ouch
18:48
sorry to hear that
18:48
sounds painful ...
18:48
is it very swollen ?
18:48
<vagrantc>
noticeably.
18:48
<bip>
ouch ...
18:49
i had a similar experience with ...
18:49
<vagrantc>
the itching is really what's getting to me ...
18:49
<bip>
hairy worms
18:49
i dont know what they r called in english
18:49
but i scratched myself to death :(
18:49
<jammcq>
harry worms ? I know that guy
18:49
<bip>
no harry
18:49
hairy
18:49
<jammcq>
heh
18:49
<bip>
lil cretaures with hairs
18:50
<jammcq>
centipede ?
18:50
<bip>
sortt of
18:50
they crawl in lines ...
18:50* vagrantc has stumbled across mention of such worms in recent searches on insect bites
18:50
<bip>
hold on
18:50
<jammcq>
makes me pull my feet up onto my chair
18:50
<bip>
i find the exact translation
18:51
but lets give some first aid to the poor vagrantc first ;-)
18:51
do u have any forgive the wrong spelling
18:51
anthistaminic cream or pill ?
18:51
those against allergies
18:52
i had to use those when i had my encounter with hairy worms
18:52
well i was camping
18:52
<vagrantc>
i probably should start with washing my feet...
18:52
<bip>
so i had to go back to a civilized place first
18:52
yes
18:52
cold water
18:52
and use ice
18:52
<jammcq>
some benidrill cream would help
18:52
<bip>
yup
18:53
benidrill sounds like the stuff i m talkin about vagrantc
18:53
but if u have extensive itching a pil might be better ...
18:53
sorry if we r playing doctor with your toe vagrantc ;-)
18:54
anyhow ...
18:54
my ltsp project is exxperiencing some *political* problems ...
18:55
but i have spent too much time working and dreamin about it to let it drop ...
18:55
so i want to redesign it and get it goin while i better figure the funding issue
18:56
there r some idead in that novell think that might be worth consideration ?
18:56
or i m just bein deceived by marketing snake oil jammcq & vagrantc ?
18:57
<vagrantc>
LTSP channel, source of all your first aid advice!
18:58
<bip>
:)
18:58
is your toe feeling better vagrantc ?
18:58
i still dream of bringin u jammcq and finnarene here in rome
18:58
for a great first italian ltsp conference
18:59
but i rally suck at the olitics involved in all that :(
18:59
well
18:59
i suck at typing too ;-)
19:13
<vagrantc>
wow. washing has helped considerably... at least for the moment.
19:13
bip: i though finnarne was doing some home-brewed non-ltsp/non-lessdisks thing these days
19:13
<bip>
he might ...
19:14
i ahvent been chatting much withj him
19:14
i dont even think i had a chat to explain him what is goin on here exactly
19:14
and i feel sorry
19:14
becauise he has been tremendously helpful to me
19:15
and i m afradi i might think i kept going w/out pulling him him
19:15
but the turth is the everything stopped in such an italian manner :(
19:16
that is didn dare to tel him, fearin he couldnt belive how things r going here :(
19:16

Anyone know how to make the "case" statement in a bash shell script case insensitive?
20:41
Or, convery a variable to all lower case?
20:41
errr convert^
20:48yanu has quit IRC
20:49
<vagrantc>
PMantis: the variable, or the variable name?
20:49
PMantis: er, value or name?
20:49
PMantis: and which part of the case statement?
20:49
<PMantis>
Value... I found this w/ google: | awk '{print tolower($0)}'
20:50
<vagrantc>
tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'
20:50
would also work
