<slipttees>
hello
16:51
<dougb>
i was just running edubuntu dapper, and i had two thin clients running, and if i was to load any open office application, it'd load on the other thin client. does anyone know why it would do this?
16:52
<slipttees>
necessary to speak with somebody regarding ltsp5 integrated in ubuntu
16:52
<vagrantc>
dougb: using LDM for login ?
16:52
slipttees: ask your question, and if someone can answer, they will.
16:53
<slipttees>
why this version, is you the bad one?
16:54
tenho 3 monitores que funciona 100% com o ltsp4.2 mas esse ltsp5 n?o dar!
16:54
I have 3 monitors that it functions 100% with ltsp4.2 but this ltsp5 not to give!
16:54
<vagrantc>
ah.
16:55
slipttees: they don't work at all?
16:56
<slipttees>
you to swallow lts.conf! : ( thus it is makes it difficult to the
16:56
pattern! : (
16:56
<vagrantc>
dougb: that's certainly a bizarre problem. the only thing i could think of that would do that is that you somehow have your $DISPLAY environment variables improperly set...
16:57
slipttees: you used the same lts.conf ?
16:58
<slipttees>
my monitors suport only 800x600!
16:58
<vagrantc>
slipttees: ltsp5 and ltsp4.2 have some differences in lts.conf, and you shouldn't use the same one.
16:59
<slipttees>
o give pra to manually justify the frequency of the monitors in ltsp.conf, that you they had taken off!
16:59
<vagrantc>
slipttees: what did you set?
16:59
<dougb>
it was using the GDM for the login
16:59
<slipttees>
only monitors frequency 800x600
16:59
<dougb>
it isn't a huge problem, and it is open-office specific, so i might just get abiwork and the "gnome office suite" to use
17:00
<vagrantc>
slipttees: i need to know what you put in your lts.conf to help you.
17:00
slipttees: did you modify X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH ?
17:01
<slipttees>
vagrantc, swim, you had taken off it!
17:01
<vagrantc>
dougb: all other applications open normally? that's bizzarre.
17:01
<slipttees>
lts.conf does not exist!
17:02
<vagrantc>
slipttees: that's normal.
17:02
<slipttees>
NO
17:02
<vagrantc>
slipttees: you only need it if you need to change something.
17:02
for ltsp5 in ubuntu
17:03
<slipttees>
why ltsp4.2 set up defaults
17:03
<vagrantc>
slipttees: and it sounds like you need to change something.
17:03
<slipttees>
i have too problems with the sound!
17:04
<vagrantc>
slipttees: probably best to fix one problem at a time
17:04
<slipttees>
=
17:04
=/
17:05
I am on
17:06
;)
17:06
<dougb>
yeah vagrantc, it's crazy. i was using dapper, maybe i'll try out edgy and see what happens. i want to get something up and going for a proposal to move to linux using LTSP, and edubuntu seems the most logical since it will be implimented in a learning environment
17:07
<slipttees>
simply, when I enter in the screen of login, I do not see absolutely nothing! it is seeming a blind person! after login, the resolution comes back pra "normal" 800x600
17:08
<vagrantc>
slipttees: is the login screen 800x600 when you login, or just after it fails to log in?
17:08
<slipttees>
after login
17:09
<vagrantc>
slipttees: so you never are able to login?
17:10
<slipttees>
eu fa?o o login, sem ver! ehehe
17:10
I make login, without seeing! ehehe
17:10
;)
17:11
why this ltsp all automatico ?
17:12
why this ltsp all automatic ?
17:12
<vagrantc>
slipttees: which version of ubuntu are you using?
17:13
<slipttees>
ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft
17:13
to only complicate the life of the users! : (
17:13
still I prefer in the mode ltspadmin!
17:16
I find that all automatico leaves the staff who is "configuring" ltsp if to know of nothing... simply any staff without having knowledge can assemble a network ltsp! : (
17:17
<vagrantc>
slipttees: there are plans to make tools similar to ltspadmin for ltsp5... but they are not yet done.
17:17
<slipttees>
what it was to be easy was desktop of linux!
17:17
<vagrantc>
slipttees: ltsp5 is still very new...
17:18
<slipttees>
humm interesting!
17:18
<vagrantc>
there are still some things to work out, but ltsp5 will have many advantages in the long term.
17:20
<slipttees>
I find that it would be better to come back toward old metodo of pattern being used ltspadmin! e to take off this mode automatico and to come back the archives of pattern as it was in the other versions!
17:22
<vagrantc>
the automatic stuff works for a lot of people.
17:22
<slipttees>
sorry i am using program for translation pt-br for english!
17:22
<vagrantc>
and the ltspadmin like stuff will be added latr.
17:22
later
17:22
<slipttees>
then two metods ;)
17:22
<vagrantc>
i think it will happen.
17:23
slipttees: it will improve with more time.
17:23
<cliebow_>
slippttees:you Can create an lts.conf where you can make changes for each machine
17:23* vagrantc thought that was explained, but it's probably worth repeating
17:25
<slipttees>
where this MAC address or IP to place there? , if is all automatic! :(
17:25
<vagrantc>
slipttees: it is only automatic if nothing is defined in lts.conf
17:25
<slipttees>
wont necessary add Mac Address in the dhcp.conf!
17:26
<vagrantc>
slipttees: i would create an lts.conf and use the Mac Address there.
17:26
<slipttees>
I prefer manual, this automatico mode complicate!
17:26
:(
17:26
<vagrantc>
slipttees: it's just as manual.
17:27
slipttees: in fact, without ltspadmin, it's even *more* manual. :)
17:28
slipttees: but you can still set up the Mac Address in DHCP, and then specify the ip or hostname in lts.conf.
17:28
<slipttees>
ltspconf created files, now :(
17:28
<vagrantc>
but i think that is more complicated than just editing lts.conf to use the Mac Address.
17:28
<slipttees>
where I see the MAC address, if it does not have as to see!
17:29
<vagrantc>
slipttees: are you using ltspadmin on a machine with ltsp-server installed? that will very likely break things.
17:29
<slipttees>
nope
17:29
<vagrantc>
what is ltspconf ?
17:30
<jammcq>
anybody seen sbalneav ?
17:30
<vagrantc>
jammcq: good one :P
17:30
<jammcq>
heh
17:30
<vagrantc>
jammcq: we all miss sbalneav.
17:30
someday, legal aid will let him play with us again.
17:31
<jammcq>
i'm calling him now. we need to get a paper submitted for FISL-8, and today is the deadline
17:31
voicemail :(
17:32
<slipttees>
vagrantc, ltspconf is for creating the archives of configura??o(dhcp.conf, lts.conf, host, conf, host.allow, etc..) of the old versions of ltsp
17:32
configuration*
17:32
<vagrantc>
slipttees: you're not trying to use ltspconf to configure ltsp5?
17:33
<slipttees>
doesn't exists
17:33
<vagrantc>
ok.
17:34
<slipttees>
only ltspserver-build-client
17:34
opss
17:34
<vagrantc>
slipttees: so, you can get mac addresses from dhcp's log files, or log on to the terminal.
17:34
<slipttees>
ltsp-build-client
17:34
tail -f /var/log/syslog ?
17:35
<vagrantc>
slipttees: and then put lines like [00:60:1D:F0:A3:FD] in lts.conf, followed by any configuration options you want to set.
17:35
slipttees: yes, they should be in there.
17:35
<slipttees>
you they had not changed the parameters of lts.conf
17:35
??
17:35
<vagrantc>
slipttees: could you say that a little differently?
17:37
<slipttees>
much thing! why in wiki of ltsp, it does not speak but on these patterns of ltsp5... it has people that you the similar one to use for test!
17:38
<vagrantc>
slipttees: you can put lines like this:
17:38
[00:60:1D:F0:A3:FD]
17:38
X_HORZSYNC=28-40
17:38
X_VERTREFRESH=43-60
17:39
<slipttees>
monitors 14' and 15' pol
17:40
<vagrantc>
slipttees: to see all the supported parameters for ubuntu, look in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples/lts-parameters.txt
17:40
<slipttees>
like this?
17:40
[192.168.11.3]
17:40
XSERVER = vesa # --> Placa de v?deo
17:40
X_MODE_0 = 800x600 # --> Resolu??o de v?deo
17:40
X_MODE_1 = 800x600 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync
17:40
X_VERTREFRESH = 60 #(Refresh rate)
17:40
X_COLOR_DEPTH = 16 # --> Cor usada pelo o monitor
17:41
USE_NBD_SWAP = Y # --> Usar swap via rede
17:41
XkbModel = abnt2
17:41
XkbLayout = br
17:41
sorry flood guys!
17:41
<vagrantc>
that should work, though i would use the Mac Address instead of ip, so you don't have to edit dhcp.conf
17:41
slipttees: actually, i think the X_MODE_1 doesn't work like that.
17:41
<slipttees>
then Mac!
17:41
<vagrantc>
slipttees: for ltsp5
17:42
<slipttees>
:(
17:42
my monitors is very old!
17:42
<vagrantc>
slipttees: and USE_NBD_SWAP is now NBD_SWAP
17:42
slipttees: what part of brazil are you from?
17:43
<slipttees>
yep
17:43
<vagrantc>
slipttees: i know a few people who work on ltsp from brazil.
17:43
<slipttees>
:)
17:43
how ?
17:44
<cliebow_>

17:44

So! I'm thinking something along the lines of "Challenges of remote device support in a thin client enviornment", and talking about sound, localdev, etc.
19:11

sbalneav: hi!!!
19:11
<sbalneav>
Hey vagrantc
19:12
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: will legal aide manitoba let you play with us ever again? :)
19:13
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: heh, the last 3 weeks were heck on wheels. I'm beginning to get my head above water now.
19:14
Go-live, while not a staggering success, was, with a lot of work by me and my co-worker, not an abject failure.
19:19
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: due to bugs in my initial implementation of ltspfs in debian (which is now in debian/unstable, by the way) i realized that you can use ltspfs to export mounted filesystems, too.
19:20
sbalneav: and i have this camera that requires gphotofs (another fuse-based filesystem), and was wondering how to get it working with ltspfs...
19:20
i think there are a fair number of cameras that work that way...
19:21FaithX has quit IRC
19:22
<sbalneav>
Hmmm, gphotofs
19:22
That's fuse-based, if I'm correct, yes?
19:26
<vagrantc>
yeah, hence the fuse-based mention in my comments :)
19:27
the way ltspfsd exports devices without mouting them sort of blows my mind...
19:27
er, exports filesystems without mounting them ...
19:28
<sbalneav>
Wel, fuse file systems stack easy, so, what we'd need is some udev magic to mount the gphotofs filesystem fiirst.
19:30
<vagrantc>
yeah, that's what i figured we needed to do somehow...
19:55
<cliebow_>
sbalneav:I would Really like to hear your talk..can you have it taped?
19:55
<jammcq>
cliebow_: I think the talks will all be taped
19:56
<cliebow_>
jammcq:lemme know how to access them..when the time comes?
19:57
<jammcq>
sure
19:57
<cliebow_>
8~)
20:01
<rjune>
sbalneav: where you at?
20:02
or rather, what talks are going to be taped?
20:03
<cliebow_>
jammcq saya all will be taped
20:03dougb has left #ltsp
20:05

I think they will be
20:05
i'm pretty sure they were taped last year

Can anybody in here give me a leg up in writing a .deb postinst script for edubuntu-auth-server? It's not obvious to me how the postinst.ex file that dh_make gives me is related to the package.postinst file that ends up in a debian source package.
21:30
<vagrantc>
moquist: it becomes the package.postinst
21:31
moquist: the DEBHELPER bits get replaced with debhelper stuff if left there.
21:31
<moquist>
vagrantc: OK, that was one of my guesses. I guess I just picked a poor example source package, then, because ltsp-client-builder.postinst doesn't have the case statement that is almost the entire content of postinst.ex, so I wasn't sure what was going on...
21:31
vagrantc: Hmm. OK.
21:32
<vagrantc>
moquist: ltsp-client-builder is actually a .udeb, so it's a little different than your typical .deb
21:32
<moquist>
So I should just use the /usr/share/debconf/confmodule stuff to ask what I need to, munge what I need to, and modify config files as necessary.
21:32
vagrantc: Oh. OK.
21:33
<vagrantc>
moquist: most questions should be asked in the .config script
21:33
moquist: postinst should just query the debconf database to get the answers.
21:33
<moquist>
vagrantc: and thanks for taking pity on a poor packaging newbie. :)
21:33* moquist nods
21:33
<vagrantc>
that way, it's easier to pre-ask questions before the time-intensive parts of package installation even happen.
21:34* moquist nods
21:35
<vagrantc>
and, while you can just have debian/postinst for a single-binary(.deb) source package, i still prefer debian/packagename.postinst just to keep things clear. most, if not all tools should be able to handle that.
21:35
and it also means less work if you suddenly realize you want two packages.
21:36
moquist: i'm a big fan of skillsharing :)
21:38
<moquist>
libpam-ldap has a config script, so I'm checking that out.
21:38
vagrantc: on the phone with Dad ATM...
21:38* vagrantc probably has to go to sleep early... starting a new job tomorrow.
21:39
<moquist>
vagrantc: !! congrats!
21:39
<vagrantc>
heh. it may mean less time for ltsp, though :(
21:40
<jammcq>
new job?
21:40
<vagrantc>
though it's only part time, that time is very keyboard-intensive... *sigh*
22:01Skarmeth has quit IRC
22:10
<moquist>
vagrantc: good luck, then.
22:13
<vagrantc>
jammcq: yeah. i've dragged my feet long enough. but the whole eating and roof thing is starting to put the pressure on... :)
