mighty-d:what drivers are necessary for sais camera?
10:59
this ltsp-5 or 4.2?
11:00
for instance..ovcamchip driver is in both ppc and i386 versions of ltsp5
11:01
qc-usb is not
11:02
even then..how are you going to get output to the server where your desktop is ..

<jvin248>
? Any suggestions on enabling automatic dhcp3-server starting at bootup? Running Kubuntu 6.10 and I have to manually run server after a hard reboot, runs fine thereafter until next hard reboot.
15:26
<cliebow>
rcconf?
15:26
is easy
15:27
just like ntsysv in redhat

<erdinc>
hi everyone
15:28
<jammcq>
jvin248: look at the manpage for update-rc.d
15:28
<cliebow_>
jammcq:!!!!!!!!!!!!
15:29
you know how the initrd is set up in ubuntu? id like to poke around
15:29
<jammcq>
you prolly need something like: update-rc.d dhcp3-server defaults
15:29
<cliebow_>
cant seem to mount -t ext2 -o loop
15:29
<jammcq>
cliebow_: it's not really an initrd. it's an initramfs
15:29
totally different beast
15:30
cliebow_: do this: file initrd
15:30
and see what it says
15:30
prolly 'gzipped blah blah'
15:31
cliebow_: you with me?
15:31
<cliebow_>
yeah gzipped..
15:31
<jammcq>
ok, so now, lets gunzip a COPY of it. do this: gunzip <initrd.img-2.6.15-27.686 >/tmp/initrd.img
15:31
plug in the correct original filename
15:32
<cliebow_>
k
15:32
<jammcq>
ok, now, run 'file' on the result
15:32
see what it says
15:32
you'll notice it's NOT a filesystem :)
15:33
<irule>
hi, where does opensuse 10.2 actually add autologin configuration? I know I can choose it with yast2 but I want to add it to X terminals to individually autologin to a speciffic user
15:33
<cliebow_>
gotta look up inknow suffix business
15:33
<jammcq>
irule: no clue
15:33
cliebow_: huh ?
15:33
<cliebow_>
Balls
15:34
gd laptop
15:34
<jammcq>
cliebow_: did you run: file /tmp/initrd.img
15:34
<cliebow_>
got to look up gunzip and unknown suffix
15:34
<jammcq>
cliebow_: you didn't use '<', did you?
15:34
<cliebow_>
no
15:34
<jammcq>
gunzip <infile >outfile
15:34
yeah, you need to do that
15:35
<cliebow_>
gotta add a suffix maybe?
15:35
<jammcq>
no
15:35
do what I said
15:35
feed the file to gzip, via stdin
15:35
send stdout to a new file
15:35
gzip <INFILE >OUTFILE
15:35
err
15:35
gunzip <INFILE >OUTFILE
15:35
or, if you prefer:
15:35
cat INFILE | gunzip >OUTFILE
15:36
<cliebow_>
ggunzip: initrd.img-2.6.17-10-powerpc: unknown suffix -- ignored...gotta look up
15:36
<jammcq>
cliebow_: STOP IT !!!!
15:36
you aren't listening to me
15:36
you MUST use the '<'
15:36
gunzip <initrd.img-2.6.17-10-powerpc >initrd.img
15:37* jammcq wonders if cliebow_'s laptop doesn't have a '<' key
15:37
<cliebow_>
ahh..looking
15:38* jammcq wonders looking at what
15:38
<cliebow_>
ASCII cpio file
15:38
<jammcq>
heh, BINGO
15:38
do you know about cpio ?
15:39
it's just like a tarball, but they used 'cpio' instead of 'tar'
15:39
<cliebow_>
never used cpio
15:39
<jammcq>
ok, you wanna see what's in the file? do this:
15:39
cpio -itv <initrd.img
15:39
<cliebow_>
cool
15:40
<jammcq>
the 't' says "show me a table of contents"
15:40
the 'v' says "and display it on stdout, so I can actually see it
15:40
<irule>
is there an micro distribution to add to the hard disk of a client to put an lzlilo in it preserving the srunk windows partition?
15:40
<jammcq>
'micro' ?
15:40
an who uses 'lilo' anymore
15:41
<cliebow_>
jammcq:cool..evrytime i press on right side of laptop it does a ctrl-v
15:41
<jammcq>
heh
15:41
cliebow_: don't press on the right side :)
15:41
<irule>
can it added to grub? Id like to start the thing clients with the hard disk to free cdrom and floppy
15:41
thin
15:41
<cliebow_>
put the p and l keys somewhere else
15:42
i see the "filesystem
15:42
<jammcq>
irule: you don't need a micro distribution to do that, you just need to add grub or lilo to the hard disk, and have it load either the Etherboot image or the windows loader
15:42
cliebow_: ok, you wanna extract that archive, so you can look at the details?
15:43
<cliebow_>
yeah!
15:43
<irule>
thanks jammcq, so is there a website with detailed instructions on doing what you just told me? Im not quite an expert here lol
15:43
<jammcq>
irule: umm, dunno. there used to be the 'Linux Documentation Project' that had all kinds of things like that. it's been years since I mucked around with that stuff
15:43
cliebow_: here's what I would do:
15:43
1) mkdir /tmp/initrd
15:44
2) cd /tmp/initrd
15:44
3) cpio ivmud </tmp/initrd.img
15:44
BE CAREFUL
15:44
<cliebow_>
ok!
15:44
<jammcq>
if you happen to be in the wrong directory, like '/', you can trash your computer
15:47
<cliebow_>
-ivmud?
15:47
<jammcq>
cpio works in 3 different modes, either 'copy in', 'copy out' or 'pass-through'
15:48
in this case, you are reading an archive, so that's "copy in", that's what the '-i' is for
15:48
'v' for verbose
15:48
'm' to preserve permissions and ownership
15:48
'u' to do it unconditionally
15:48
<cliebow_>
gotta sommma reading to do...
15:48
<jammcq>
'd' to create directories as needed
15:48* jammcq has been using cpio for many many years
15:49
<jammcq>
since I was first introduced to unix, back in 1984
15:49* erdinc bye aLL..
15:49
<cliebow_>
i was asking about the dash..i got the filesystem now
15:50erdinc has quit IRC
15:50
<jammcq>
dash? that's how you denote options
15:50
ah, I see
15:50
I missed the '-'
15:50
bwahahahahahahaha
15:50
tar is funny, it works with or without the dash
15:50
cpio requires (like most other programs)
15:50
<cliebow_>
i see then do all in reverse..the part about trashing your computer made me ask first
15:52
ok..so the kernel loads lunpacks the initramfs..then the bash script says mkdir /sys
15:52
mkdir /tmp
15:52
etc
15:52
<jammcq>
which bash script?
15:52
<cliebow_>
mkdir /tmp
15:52
init
15:53
mkdir -p /var/lock
15:53
<jammcq>
yeah, 'init' is what's called. it does all the stuff that is needed, to prepare the real-root filesystem for mounting
15:53
you are into the bowels of the linux boot process
15:53
<cliebow_>
mount -t sysfs none /sys -onodev,noexec,nosuid
15:53
that is what i was kind of hoping for..
15:53
<jammcq>
yeah, mounts the pseudo filesystem 'sysfs'
15:54
you should see it mounting /proc too
15:54
<cliebow_>
no other way to get my head around what iis happening
15:54
<jammcq>
and maybe /dev/pts and /dev/usb
15:54
I don't remember if those are still needed
15:54
<cliebow_>
mount -t proc none /proc -onodev,noexec,nosuid
15:54
Cool.it is well commented as well
15:55
any help to you to mail it to you for reference?
15:55
<jammcq>
what are you looking for?
15:56
<cliebow_>
initramfs.conf
15:56
a good time..
15:56
<jammcq>
hmm, i'm not sure that file is actually inside the initramfs
15:56
<cliebow_>
just trying to get my head around it
15:56
<jammcq>
I think it's used during the creation of the initramfs, by the initramfs-tools
15:56
but... I could be wrong
15:57
<cliebow_>
i see /conf/iniramfs.conf
15:57
<jammcq>
oh yeah
15:57
<cliebow_>
Busybox
15:58
i can copy paste em and mail em to you..this is the powerpc one
15:58
<jammcq>
what would I be looking for?
15:58
seems like you are well on your way
15:58
i'm looking at an initramfs from a dapper machine right now
15:59
2.6.15-27
16:00
<cliebow_>
kind of pondering the device detection piece...but i guess that is in the nfsmount prett much
16:01
<jammcq>
device detection is probably handled by udev
16:02
<cliebow_>
oh right
16:03
i feel so helpless thrying to troubleshoot without poking around a little
16:06
<jammcq>
with open source, you are never helpless
16:08
<cliebow_>
amen..been trying to catch ogra..tell him i got the ppc ltsp5 running on my lappie
16:09
so right now most of the dev for sound is in the "chroot" right?
16:09
<jammcq>
umm
16:09
probably. I don't think any sound stuff would be in the initramfs, it's not needed for booting
16:10
<cliebow_>
sure..
16:13
how do the kernel options specified in dhcpd.conf get executed..ohh sya specifying a nic type?
16:13
nfs options?
16:13
<jammcq>
umm, I don't have a clue how they did that in the ubuntu kernels
16:13
I only know how I did it with LTSP kernels, and that's completely different
16:14
<cliebow_>
dhcp on alternate port? how did you
16:14
in 5 seconds or less
16:14
<jammcq>
I did that on the dhclient command line, inside the init script
16:14
but ubuntu's stuff is way different
16:15
<cliebow_>
i wonder if alternate port is supported? im gonna poke around somemore
16:16
thanks jammcq: i learned a lot
16:19
<jammcq>
cool

I have a problem with my ltsp

17:15

I have 2 stations but, when I go in a terminal to play a flash game with firefox
17:16
<cliebow_>
weird..mineisnt either
17:16
<edgarin_>
the sound of this game is played in the server
17:16
howto i can remove the sound of the terminals?
17:19
<cliebow_>
edgarin_:somehow your sound is not being redirected..
17:19
<edgarin_>
and howto I can direct this sound?
17:19
<cliebow_>
you have the sound scipt in /etc/profile.d
17:19
i am not good at this
17:20
<edgarin_>
I only /etc/profile
17:20
in the server
17:20
<cliebow_>

17:21
<edgarin_>

Hi people!
19:31
<jammcq>
hey edgarin
19:31
<edgarin>
jammcq, hey, how are you??
19:31
<jammcq>
doing very well, how are you doing?
19:32
<edgarin>
jammcq, all fine
19:32
<jammcq>
great to hear
19:32
<edgarin>
in this moment I have a problem
19:32
<jammcq>
oh?
19:32
<edgarin>
I can't configurate the nasd server
19:32
in the terminal
19:32
<jammcq>
hmm, are you sure you want to use nasd? that's very old
19:33
<edgarin>
I have problems with esd
19:33
<jammcq>
you'll probably have more problems with nasd
19:33
<edgarin>
beacause, the server have ubuntu
19:33
ohh!!
19:33
jammcq, exist another sound server ?
19:33
<jammcq>
just esd and nasd
19:33
in the future, we'll have pulseaudio
19:33
but that's not shipping in any distros yet
19:34
<edgarin>
cool!
19:34
see the problem
19:34
The ltsp server have Ubuntu installed
19:34
the version is Dapper
19:34
Dapper use in all esd
19:34
<jammcq>
ok, that should be fine
19:35
<edgarin>
but, in the terminal with esd
19:36
I can't listen music
19:36
<jammcq>
why not?
19:36
<edgarin>
I don't know
19:36
I configure the esd output plugin in the xmms
19:37
and I put the Ip adress and the port
19:37
the xmms show the song is playing, but the speakers don't have sound
19:39
<petre>
edgarin, have you tried 'esdplay somefile.wav' ?
19:39
<jammcq>
you probably need to talk to someone who understands the audio stuff much better than I do, like Gadi or sbalneav
19:39
or petre
19:39
:)
19:39
<edgarin>
:)
19:40* petre is trying to learn about sound
19:40
<edgarin>
petre, I try this in this moment wait..
19:40
the sound is played
19:40
but, the sound is listened in the server
19:41
no in the terminal
19:41
because Ubuntu use esd by default
19:41
and this is my big problem
19:43
<jammcq>
that shouldn't be a problem, that should make it easier
19:43
<petre>
hmm, if the sound is happening at the server, it suggests communication to the client's daemon isn't happening
19:44* petre wonders if that means the daemon isn't loading on the client
19:47
<edgarin>
I'm back in 10 minutes
