Hey folks, anyone up at this time of night? Have a problem. Running Slack 12 and LTSP 4.2, everything is great except for one hiccup. If a thin client is up and running, and its turned off... then turned back on, the next time it boots up instead of it loading my stuff in the .xsession file, I get just the login screen. I'm using KDM, and auto-logins. The .xsession-errors file in the users home account shows lots of instances o

Any thoughts?

hi all
00:34
how i define multiple ranges in dhcp
00:35
<vagrantc>
like, you have two network cards ... or ?
00:36
<cyrenity>
range 192.168.1.61 192.168.1.157; range 192.168.1.159 192.168.1.230;
00:36
no i have one network card
00:36
<vagrantc>
haven't tried that.
00:36
main question is ... why? :)
00:38
cyrenity: have you tried specifying it on two separate lines ?
00:39
<cyrenity>
yes
00:40
well unfortunately i have defined on windows machine a staic ip 192.168.1.158
00:40
so i want dhcp not to assign to aonthor machine
00:40
<vagrantc>
and there's no way of changing that ?
00:41
other question is how many DHCP leases you'll need at a given moment
00:42
as 61-157 is nearly 100 leases.
00:42
<cyrenity>
yes
00:42
well my network is growing
00:43
am out of ips this time
00:43
will chgane to A class soon
00:45
is there any prb in doing that
00:47
plz this is a mess
00:51
<vagrantc>
if you're running out of IP addresses, you'll probably have to change networking configuration anyways ... so do that and don't assign a static address in the middle of a block in the future
00:52
not much to be done otherwise
00:54
<cyrenity>
what to do now
00:55
hum
00:59
<vagrantc>
well, in the short term, i'd give your windows box a different static IP and then set it to the full range that you can spare
01:14
<cyrenity>
but see guys here give haphazard static ips for windows which collides with dhcp rangs
01:14
and as wht i think when windows machine are off these ips are assigned to other machines through dhcp
01:15
hay here they define those windoes static ips are defines in dhcp for that host to be static but its also in dhcp range
01:15
is this make again a mess or?
01:16NefariousAryq has left #ltsp
01:16
<vagrantc>
so, control the windows ip addresses through dhcp
01:17
you can give static ips via dhcp
01:18
and if the problem is that people just give their boxes random ip addresses, well, you can't solve that technially anyway- it's a social problem of getting people to behave properly.
01:19
if you try to solve that technically, you'll have to set up some sort of firewalling of unknown machines not registered with DHCP
01:21
<cyrenity>
how am using shorewall here
01:21
well mac binding we can try on
01:21
http://pastebin.com/m227d654f
01:21
see my dhcp its messed up
01:21
see how statis ips are defines
01:21
<vagrantc>
get help from shorewall
01:21
this isn't really an LTSP issue at this point
01:22
<cyrenity>
sure
01:22
i know
01:30
did u see my dhcp file

I'm using ubuntu with sabayon and I had to change one line in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60sabayon_apply to make remote logging working.
04:52
I've changed '/usr/sbin/sabayon-apply' to '/usr/sbin/sabayon-apply || true' cause /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply returns 1 if current user don't have profile specified
04:52
shouldn't it be corrected in sabayon package?
04:52
<ogra>
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421924
04:53
its an upstream bug
04:54
sadly sabayon isnt very well maintained atm
04:54
(upstream i mean)
04:55
<exodos>
m'kay, thx for link
04:56
<ogra>
its definately locale related
04:56
you are using dutch i suppose
04:57
<exodos>
but i'm not so sure it's the same bug
04:57
<ogra>
i wonder if it works if you put LANG=C into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60sabayon_apply
04:57
<exodos>
as sabayon do not crash, but just exits with return value 1 which cuse whole Xsession script to exit as set -e i set at the beggining
04:58
*beginning :)
04:58
<ogra>
well, obviously the return value is always 1 if /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply is broken
05:03schregge has joined #ltsp
05:03
<schregge>
hello
05:03
<ogra>
but your || true is a good workaround for the start, i might add it if the bug doesnt get fixed upstream before gutsy
05:04
<exodos>
It's not broken. For me its working well: when I assign some sabayon profile to my user and run /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply then the retunr value is 0. When no profile is assigned to my user and i run /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply it prints "No profile for user 'user' found", and the return value is 1. This stops whole Xsession cause set -e.
05:04* ogra has to go afk for a bit ...
05:04
<ogra>
exodos, oh, ok, thats a trivial one ...
05:05
so you mean the set -e should just go
05:05
<exodos>
you mean go away?
05:05
<schregge>
i have a problem with ltsp5 and ubuntu.... when i start the client, it says SCREEN_SCRIPT: gdm not found
05:05
<ogra>
exodos, yes
05:06
schregge, how did you install and which version is that ?
05:06
<schregge>
i also tried rdesktop, same error
05:06
<ogra>
!ubuntu
05:06
<ltspbot>
ogra: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
05:06
<schregge>
i installed it with apt-get installl (Ubuntu Feisty, LTSP5)
05:06
<ogra>
if you follwed the quick install guide all should work out of the box
05:06
<exodos>
no, I think set -e is ok. You just have to be sure that all non-fatal errors won't stop Xsession
05:07
<ogra>
exodos, right
05:07
<schregge>
hmmm, i will try a reinstall
05:08
<ogra>
schregge, note that you should do it on a desktop install, ltsp needs a desktop to log in to on the server
05:08
so on an ubuntu-server install you need to get the ubuntu-desktop package as well
05:08cyrenity has quit IRC
05:09
<schregge>
yeah, i know... but i want to use a direct rdesktop login to win2k TS
05:09
but when i use screen_01=rdesktop, the same error appears
05:11schregge has quit IRC
05:11schregge has joined #ltsp
05:12
<ogra>
schregge, hmm, we recently added a new rdesktop screen script to gutsy ... might work in feisty as well
05:12

05:13
replace /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/rdesktop with the above and try again
05:13
(therew is documentation at the top of the script)
05:13
<schregge>
ok, thanks
05:14
<ogra>
and: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install rdesktop
05:14
might help as well :)
05:14* ogra really has to go afk now ... bbl
05:14
<schregge>
:-), i know
05:15
anothe question, is it true that LTSP5 in Ubuntu 7.04 is much slower than 4.2?
05:16K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp
05:16
<schregge>
i have an ltsp server with an old ubuntu version running, and its much faster than LTSP5... the thinclients are pretty slow (200-300 Mhz)
05:21
<exodos>
schregge: ltsp5 with ldm LDM_DIRECTX patch can be as fast as ltsp4.2

05:22
<schregge>
ok
05:23
i will try it
05:23
but the problem is the boottime
05:24
it takes twice as long as 4.2
05:26
<exodos>
to speedup bootup time you can try ltsp5 from gutsy. It is much faster then feisty

schregge, : fiesty comes pre-installed with ltsp (edubuntu)
05:34
<exodos>
schregge: I dont think its can be done easily
05:34
<schregge>
damn...same error... SCREEN_SCRIPT: rdesktop not found!
05:35
ok, my fault :-)
05:35

verbose install it if u must
05:35

the screen-script was not executable

bw what is ur thin clients specification ?

233 Mhz, 4 MB graphic card
05:39
they run fine on ltsp4.2
05:40
but now.... something is wrong.... they are very slow during bootup.... the syslog daemon gets the messages VERY late.... (around a minute)....
05:41ari_stress3 has quit IRC
05:46
<Jenna>
schregge, did u read the minimum client specifications on their site . i.e with ubuntu
05:47
If memory serves me correct its 700-800 Mhz proc with 128-256 Mb memory on the client
05:47
somebody correct me if Im wrong
05:48
schregge, I havent tried the ltsp 5 thing but 4.2 performs well with pre-historic h/w .
05:49ari_stress2 has quit IRC
05:50
<schregge>
hmm, i am running LTSP4.2 with the ibm N2800 very well
05:50
they have 128 MB memory and 233 Mhz proc
05:50
but on Ltsp5, they are not working
05:51
(also a quite new thin client, (800 Mhz Eden) is very slow on boot-time)
05:52
i think aomething messed up on the server...
05:54
but its a fresh feisty and ltsp installation
05:54
<Jenna>
hmm. could be . I run clients with 64 mb memory. anything more seem waste of money
05:56
<schregge>
but i have no idea whats the problem is..... 4 minutes ago, the clients finished booting, but i still get syslog messages from the bootprocess of the client
05:57
(and they are coming very slow.... one message in 2 seconds....
05:58
<Jenna>
stupid I know but check with network cables
06:00
<schregge>
they are ok... i tried the same environment with ltsp4.2 and it works fine
06:00
(with ltsp4.2)

hello all, I just installed Edubuntu 7.04 and was impressed with how well LTSP 5.0 worked out of the box! After testing it a while in the default configuration, I added some apps and did some configuring (pessulus, sabayon, etc). Now the clients' gdm apparently resets immediately after login (monitor signal breaks, login screen returns). Permissions on /tmp are 1777 (from troubleshooting page in wiki). Any ideas? Thanks
13:34
<whiprush_>
I had this problem
13:34
it's sabayon
13:35
<akn>
great. what did you do?
13:35
<whiprush_>
I removed it.
13:35
I am pretty sure it's fixed upstream now.
13:35
<akn>
simple enough
13:36
<whiprush_>
but I'm still on dapper so I left sabayon removed
13:37
<akn>
solved! I owe you a big thanks, whiprush!
13:38
gnome has the lead in a lot of ways, but kde's kiosk and admin tools were a big help.

gadi : I finally decided to switch from debian to ubuntu, yesterday u suggested to turn of usplash/bootsplash... I didnt had to do it with debian but now with ubuntu I do have one and it seems to fail, how can I turn it off again ?
15:13
<Gadi>
go to: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
15:13
and remove the word "splash"
15:14

umm i did that and it still have the ubuntu splash

resolution's good?

<ByPasS>
gadi : yup without xserver = amd
15:20
gadi : and the display is ok too !
15:21
<Gadi>
well, without it, it will use vesa
15:21
which is slow
15:21
(if ur on feisty)
15:21
<ByPasS>
gadi : no garbage like in ubuntu tho
15:21
yea 7.04
15:21
I may try NSC
15:21
it supposed to be the one for geode dx2
15:21
<Gadi>
yeah, if you want it to use the real server, you need to add universe repo in the chroot
15:21
<ByPasS>
but it was failling totally on debian yesterday
15:21
<Gadi>
and then apt-get it
15:21
and use xserver=
15:26
<ByPasS>
Ill give nsc / amd both a try and I'll let you know

I'm working on integrating LTSP v 5 into RHEL 4 for use by organization (hopefully we'll be able to share the work with RH).
16:36
I'm working with the initramfs and comparing the stock RH to the Ubuntu version.
16:37
I see that Ubuntu has klibc in their initramfs while RH does not. Is this required to get the clients booted?
