I'm having problems with ltsp and getting flash to play sound, can anybody point me to the right information to solve my issue? thanks
09:19
<sbalneav>
Which version of LTSP?
09:19
<nabbschool>
5.0
09:19
i'm using edubuntu 7.10 and still no sound, its very annoying
09:25
thanks anyway
09:28
<Gadi>
nabbschool: you need to install libflashsupport
09:29
<sutula>
Gadi: Server or in the client chroot?
09:29
<Gadi>
server
09:29
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ
09:29* sutula is interested in the answer also
09:30* Gadi is unsure if it is in the ubuntu repo
09:30
<Gadi>
but that link has a place to grab it
09:30
<nabbschool>
excuse my primitivity but how do I do this using edubuntu? can i use the gui or do i need to use the command line?
09:31
<Gadi>
nabbschool: if it is apackage in the ubuntu repository, you can do it through the GUI (Synaptic package manager)
09:31
look for libflashsupport
09:31
<nabbschool>
thankyou. is this all i need then?
09:31
<Gadi>
if not, you can do it by grabbing the software package (deb) itself
09:31
by opening a terminal (as per the link I posted) and type:
09:32
wget http://pulseaudio.vdbonline.net/libflashsupport/libflashsupport_1.0~2219-1_i386.deb ; sudo dpkg -i libflashsupport_1.0~2219-1_i386.deb
09:32
(those are two commands separated by the semicolon)
09:32
you can type each one on its own line
09:32
<nabbschool>
so all this does is installs the libflashsupport, right? then it just works?
09:33
<Gadi>
nabbschool: yup
09:33
you may need to login/logout
09:33
or reboot the thin client
09:33ogra has quit IRC

<nabbschool>
well that sounds to easy to be true! ha
09:33
<Gadi>
or maybe just restart firefox

I dont remember :)

thanks for your help Gadi!

<Gadi>
joebaker: if you only use it for admin, grab the commercial one
10:16
<joebaker>
That's a thought for our company server.
10:17
But our LUG gives out freenx desktop sessions of Ubuntu. Freenx broke last night when I upgraded to Gutsy.
10:17
<Gadi>
hey - is there a limit to the number of characters in the password field on the new ldm?

i have it running on edgy and feisty..and apparently will go on gutsy
10:24
i hate gnome..
10:25
<rjune_>
what is baruch hashem?
10:25
cliebow_: use KDE
10:25
ubuntu even has a nifty gui for working with users and supposedly kiosktool, but I've not used that
10:25
<cliebow_>
or xfce is nice these days
10:26
<joebaker>
cliebow_: We want the same sort of central management and resource access as LTSP provides only from remote locations. I don't see how virtualized systems would do that.
10:27exodos has quit IRC
10:28
<cliebow_>
so you are saying fundamemtal differences in architecture freenx vs nimachine

Hi
10:47
Is there any more info about configuring LDM available online?
10:47
<cliebow_>
netstat -anp|grep ":177" shows gdm is listening...and it eorked last time i used the little bastud
10:48
Gawd it takes twenty minutes for the server laptop to come up in gnome...
10:49
<MasterOne>
I was wondering, if it is possible to install and start LDM on a normal workstation (so not a thin client) to log into the LTSP server
10:49
<rjune_>
probably
10:49
cliebow_: is DNS b0rked

<cliebow_>
ahh good point...
10:50
<rjune_>
Gadi: what is baruch hashem?
10:53
<sbalneav>
MasterOne: There's complete documentation in the edubuntu-handbook
10:53
<MasterOne>
Let's say you have a laptop with latest ubuntu installed, and you want to use that machine to log into your LTSP server, how would you do that? As you already have GDM installed your access to your local environment, can you additionally install LDM to access your LTSP server, and if yes, how would you start LDM?
10:54
<jammcq>
just use SSH
10:54
<sbalneav>
Yes
10:54
<MasterOne>
sbalneav: there is nothing specific to LDM in the edubuntu-handbook, I already checked
10:54
ah, i c
10:55
<sbalneav>
MasterOne: There most certainly is, as I wrote it :)
10:57
I haven't done anything opposite testing ldm in a full desktop, so your mileage may vary.
10:57
<MasterOne>
sbalneav: I must be blind, can you provide a link to that specific page in the handbook about LDM?
10:57
<sbalneav>
it's in the edubuntu-docs package. Are you running edubuntu?
10:58
<MasterOne>
ah, you mean the docs in edubuntu, I was only searching online
10:58
how would I exactly establish a nested X session from my LTSP server using ssh on my ubuntu desktop?
10:59
<sbalneav>
Using xnest
10:59
<jammcq>
Xnest
10:59
<sbalneav>
I don't have a command line off the top of my head.
11:01
<cliebow_>
Scottie:where would Xaccess be??find doesnt show it..

on suse it's /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
11:15
<cliebow_>
yeah used to be on redhat as well...find shows nothing
11:15
<jammcq>
cliebow_: gdm doesn't use Xaccess
11:15
that's an XDM thing
11:15
and sometimes kdm thing
11:17

11:41
<sbalneav>
cliebow_: Well, ogra just informed me, apparently xdmcp is broken currently in gutsy
11:42MasterOne has quit IRC
11:42
<ogra1>
well its broken upstream in gdm 2.20.0 ... fixed in 2.20.1 though, which is still waiting for enough testing in the gutsy-proposed archive
11:48
<cliebow_>
ogra1: i had it sort of working with the debianish gdm
11:48
<ogra1>
you installed gdm from debian ??
11:48
<cliebow_>
but the laptop server is so cusse dslow i cant get anything done
11:49
no i did not..but after googling i picked plain with face browser and got a login screen
11:49
<ogra1>
sounds like the same bug
11:50
<cliebow_>
yes..
11:52
<ogra1>
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gdm/gdm_2.20.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

then you need to enable gutsy-proposed (disable it immediately after installing gdm, its a test archive where broken stuff might exist)

our school has no money so I am going to use gx110 with a donated dell server for an edubuntu lab

er ... http://freegeek.org/grants

very cool thanks! there are local places but they get hit up often.
13:41
<vagrantc>
scrapbunny: we're actually using gx-somethings
13:42
scrapbunny: main part would be shipping ... freegeek doesn't deal with shipping
13:42
strangely, i had to downgrade the bios on some of the gx's in order to get them to PXE boot ...
13:43
<scrapbunny>
i will check it out and see what we can swing. I spent our "huge" budget of $4000 on a network reading program teachers wanted and 512 memory sticks for our gx150 and gx240 machines

13:56* vagrantc sighs
13:56
<ogra1>
vagrantc, patches accepted ;)
13:56
<vagrantc>
ogra1: well, the patch is simple- it's the breaking historical namespace that's the problem.
13:56
i brought that up years ago ...
13:57
i guess we could implement patches that check for the older version if the newer version isn't found ...
13:58
<cliebow_>
and trask made funny of my typing when I corrected lts.conf 8~)
13:58
<ogra1>
vagrantc, what breaks historical namespace ?
13:58* ogra1 doesnt understand
13:58
<ogra1>
i thought you where sighing because its lts.conf
13:58
<scrapbunny>
ogra-for ltsp 5 I thought it has to be ltsp.conf?
13:58
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: You can take that one up with jammcq :)
13:59
<ogra1>
i dot think it takes more than 5 lines to make it accept ltsp.conf :)
13:59
scrapbunny, it was never ltsp.conf
13:59
<vagrantc>
yeah, but supporting two configuration files is kind of ugly ...
13:59
sbalneav: it's just one of those things i think i'll live with.
14:00
<ogra1>
right, but makes the transition easier
14:00tiagovaz_ has quit IRC
14:00
<ogra1>
would be nice if the old path could go away at some point
14:00
<vagrantc>
i suppose we could consider a transition period where both are supported, and eventually drop the old one ...

sbalneav:ldm greeter is Awesome looking
14:30
never realized til i put it side by side with the original in /opt/ltsp/powerpc
14:30
which was pretty cool then 8~)
14:32
<scrapbunny>
ok question, if all my thin clients are gx110 can i set the default settings to the gx110 settings without effecting the server?
14:33
<cliebow_>
sure
14:34
<scrapbunny>
and i shouldn't have to restart the server after changing the lts.conf right?
14:35
i ask because none of the changes I have tried seem to make i difference on the 110 machine
14:35
<cliebow_>
no ..lts.conf is loaded fresh to the client
14:35
evry boot..you hould watch the p[ackets wityh wwireshark..it is awesome
14:35

Don't know. I'm not familiar with nVidia cards
16:32
<scrapbunny>
i have tried all the settings thinking I am dealing with the integrated intel i810 so I thought i would try the nvidia settings since entering the service tag on dell.com gives that as a video option
16:33

Might want to try X_COLOR_DEPTH=24 or X_COLOR_DEPTH=16
16:36
<scrapbunny>
i picked edubuntu because i thought it would be easier to set up the thin clients, guess i was wrong :(
16:36
tried both color depths
16:36
<sbalneav>
It generally is
16:36
But if you've got odd clients, then there's always some fooling around required.
16:37
So what, exactly, is the problem. I've yet to hear exactly what the symptom is?
16:37
Are they booting? Do you see the splash screen?

they pxe boot and i get the edubuntu screen but then instead of a log in screen i get a black screen with blinking curser line

hello guys
17:14
I'm trying to use SCREEN_02 in lts.conf - LTSP5 from Ubuntu 7.10
17:14
but when I put this line in the conf, the X server does not work
17:14
any ideas ?
17:16Q-FUNK has quit IRC
17:17
<vagrantc>
mhterres: yes, you have to then define SCREEN_07=ldm
17:17
<mhterres>
hmm
17:17
I'll try
17:18
<vagrantc>
i.e. both SCREEN_02 and SCREEN-07
17:18
er, SCREEN_07
17:18
<mhterres>
so I could put SCREEN_01 = shell
17:18
and SCREEN_07 = ldm
17:18
<vagrantc>
SCREEN_01 is usually taken by a getty
17:18
i would avoid 01
17:18
<mhterres>
hmm, o
17:18
k
17:20
<vagrantc>
the default, if NO SCREEN_NN is defined, is SCREEN_07=ldm
17:20
<mhterres>
ok, but if I define one screen, I must define SCREEN_07
17:20
is that correct ?
17:20
<vagrantc>
well, you could put it on whatever
17:21
but to be consistant, probably stick with 07
17:21
<mhterres>
ok, the thin client is booting
17:21
let me see
17:21* vagrantc wonders if we should reconsider the rationale of that logic
17:22
<vagrantc>
i.e. maybe only check if SCREEN_07 is defined ...
17:22
<mhterres>
great
17:22
I think it is working
17:22
let me test
17:23
no
17:23
let me try again
17:27
no way
17:27
the other SCREENs is not working
17:27
and that is my lts.conf

17:41

17:41
mhterres: which is very similar ...
17:41

Also can anyone help with how to make my clients auto login please. Thanks your help would be appreciated.
17:43

I am running a internet cafe and have updated to gutsy and now have this problem. When I updated at home it works a ok. and at the shop but then it just messed up.
17:44
<vagrantc>
mhterres: one major difference is that the initramfs downloads the lts.conf using tftp ... maybe that's failing somehow?
17:44

I Will try?

I don't like wiretapping.
23:46
without judicial review.
23:47
They could build an automated web application for acquiring fisa approval to fast track approval.
23:49
infowars.com has a movie that explains the "New World Order" / Council on Foreign Relations / Rockefeller connections. The movie is called Endgame.
23:50
<rjune_>
stick with the patriot act, it's more convincing
23:50
<joebaker>
The author, Alex Jones said he wants people to copy the movie and distribute it far and wide. So if you can get it via bittorrent you can.
23:50
rjune_ agreed.
