08:32
<ogra_cmpc>
rjune_, because i invited him to do so in my answer mail to: http://jwz.livejournal.com/846523.html

08:38* laga wonders why that guy is trying to run a.out netscape binaries.
08:40
<laga>
ogra_cmpc: wrt the DNS name server hack: i have already added enough hacks so that it doesn't really matter anymore for me. do you know if /tmp/net-eth0.conf is still available after the real init was started? the name server address could be pulled from there then
08:43
<ogra_cmpc>
i dont thing thats available outside of busybox
08:43
*think
08:43
<laga>
too bad.
08:44
the easiest thing might be copying it to the cow branch then
08:44
<ogra_cmpc>
laga, he runs a.out because he wrote netscape :) might be that in his opinion this is the last usable version :P
08:44
<laga>
ogra_cmpc: ah. ok, that's a valid reason
08:44
(if he wrote netscape, maybe he can just recompile it ;))
08:45
<ogra_cmpc>
heh, well :)
08:45
that would be easier than ranting publically
08:47
<mnemoc>
hi, what's the "upstream" repository of ltsp5? http://people.ubuntu.com/~robertc/pqm/trunk/?
08:48
<ogra_cmpc>
thats the source for package queue manager i think :)
08:48
nothing to do with ltsp
08:48
<mnemoc>
i just noticed :\
08:48
<ogra_cmpc>
how did you get that url in relation to ltsp ?
08:48
<mnemoc>
googling
08:49
<ogra_cmpc>
intresting
08:49
https://code.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/
08:49
<rjune_>
laga: because he's a pain in the ass.
08:49
<ogra_cmpc>
there are the branches
08:49
<mnemoc>
ogra_cmpc: thanks :)
08:49
ogra_cmpc: perfect... i have been two days looking for that :)
08:50
<ogra_cmpc>
heh, asking here is always the quickest way
08:50
<rjune_>
every time I've talked to him, he's been more interested in bitching and throwing a temper tantrum then getting his problem solved.
08:50
<ogra_cmpc>
for everything related to ltsp :)
08:50
<mnemoc>
ogra_cmpc: thanks :)
08:50
<ogra_cmpc>
rjune_, yeah, but he invented browsing, that gives him a big bonus ...
08:51Xorcom has joined #ltsp
08:51
<rjune_>
ogra_cmpc: netscape sucks. even the old versions
08:51
<laga>
then he should be able to figure out how to add "-r" to the sysklog args...
08:51
<rjune_>
so, uhm. no.
08:51
<ogra_cmpc>
well, sort of "invented" :)
08:51
rjune_, you dont use firefox ?
08:51
<rjune_>
no I do not.
08:52
<ogra_cmpc>
ah , k ... well
08:52
<rjune_>
and he didn't write firefox.
08:52
<laga>
ogra_cmpc: wasn't the gecko engine mostly rewritten from scratch because th netscape engine wasn't clean enough?

<Gadi>
had a b-day this week, went out to celebrate last weekend, got food poisoning, been spending my bday week not eating :P
09:26
<ogra_cmpc>
is it ? how so ?
09:26
happy bday then :)
09:26
<Gadi>
thanks - tell my stomach to comply
09:26
:)
09:27
<ogra_cmpc>
heh, get well ..
09:27emilk__ has joined #ltsp

<Gadi>
meanwhile, I keep finding more things to learn
09:27emilk_ has quit IRC
09:27
<Gadi>
which is good for an old dog
09:27
this SNMP thing can be really fun to play with
09:27
:D
09:28emilk__ has quit IRC
09:28
<ogra_cmpc>
it can also rip huge security holes in your setup if misconfigured :)
09:29
<Gadi>
yeah - especially if you do read-write stuff
09:29
<ogra_cmpc>
yeah
09:29
<Gadi>
still kinda cool
09:30Faithful has joined #ltsp

<Blinny>
SNMP is extremely useful as your network grows beyond a server or two.
09:52
<bjorn>
sutula: interesting. looks like your BIOS is definitely different than mine. are you using a plug-in radeon, by chance? my problem is with the built-in radeon

<bjorn>
sutula: huh. your radeon is at 00:0d.0, mine is at 01:00.0. maybe there are two t5710 versions, and only the one with radeon at 01:00.0 has the problem. any chance you have some of each, and saw the problem on the other variety?
11:38
<sutula>
bjorn: aw (in #lab) confirmed that there are at least two versions with entirely different processors
11:39
<bjorn>
sutula: different processor shouldn't matter, but if they moved the radeon and forgot to update the _PRT, that would do it

11:40sivaji_ has joined #ltsp
11:40
<sutula>
bjorn: What clock speed do you have?
11:40
<bjorn>
sutula: i have the 1.2GHz version
11:41plamengr has quit IRC
11:41sivaji_ has quit IRC
11:41
<sutula>
bjorn: Mine are all 800 MHz, though I might have had a borrowed 1.2G during initial testing, so maybe that's why I saw it then
11:42
<bjorn>
sutula: ahh, i like that theory! and my quirk should be harmless for your boxes, since it checks for the 01:00.0 PCI address before changing anything
11:42
<sutula>
bjorn: Anyway, apparently, it doesn't affect all t5710's, only the 1.2G efficeon
11:44
<bjorn>
sutula: you mean the IRQ problem only affects the 1.2GHz version? i didn't remember any data to show that, but good to know
11:47
<sutula>
bjorn: I'm just guessing...entirely different processors (efficeon vs. crusoe), different speeds, probably different (or at least different version) BIOS's

ogra_cmpc, cool, one of the RH employees is on the IETF DHCP standards group
12:15Q-FUNK has quit IRC
12:15
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, we're going to kick off the ratification process to get a NBD DHCP option into the standards
12:15
<cliebow_>
8~)
12:16
<ogra_cmpc>
heh
12:16
cool
12:19
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, we also came up with a cleaner way to handle nbd
12:19
ogra_cmpc, similar to NFS mount syntax
12:20
NFS: mount -t nfs 192.168.0.254:/path/to/root -o ro /somewhere
12:20
NBD: mount -t ext2 192.168.0.254:2000 -o nbd,ro /somewhere
12:20
<ogra_cmpc>
yeah, i already thought about a mount.nbd wrapper
12:20
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, actually, this NBD mount syntax is similar to loop
12:21
<ogra_cmpc>
right
12:21
its all over not much different from loop
12:21
(i actually tend to abuse it for loop mounts since i have the servetr around anyway :) )
12:21soneyka has quit IRC
12:23
<warren>
heh
12:23
ogra_cmpc, what package is your /bin/mount coming from? util-linux-ng?
12:23
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/ upstream
12:23
<ogra_cmpc>
mount
12:23
<warren>
oh
12:23daduke_ has quit IRC
12:23
<ogra_cmpc>
(is thae package name here)
12:24
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, that's the source package?
12:24
<ogra_cmpc>
ah
12:24
util-linux
12:24
no ng there
12:26indradg has joined #ltsp
12:26
<warren>
ah
12:27
ogra_cmpc, yeah, we moved on from util-linux finally after acknoledging the old upstream was dead long ago

warren, wow, what makes fedora boot so slow ? http://blog.kagou.fr/post/2008/03/06/Chronos-US-version
12:52
intrestingly the over all time is the same as ubuntu ...
12:52
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, he didn't indicate what he instaled
12:52
<ogra_cmpc>
fedora 8
12:52
with the same desktop additions ubuntu uses
12:52
at least thats what he writes he did for all the distros
12:52
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, I have a few theories
12:53
ogra_cmpc, we didn't try to optimize F8 much at all
12:53
<ogra_cmpc>
"Only Fedora, Mandriva and OpenSuse have been modified to correspond to Ubuntu. This means that Compiz is activated, Tracker and Deskbar applet also."
12:53
<warren>
we don't even use tracker
12:53
ogra_cmpc, btw does Ubuntu prelink?
12:53
<ogra_cmpc>
neither does matter for boottime though
12:53
no, we use readahead
12:54
<warren>
we have readahead, but it is broken
12:54
prelink is different
12:54
it actually modifies all binaries on the system
12:54
<ogra_cmpc>
right, but one excludes the other afaik
12:54
<warren>
No
12:54
You can use both if it is considered correctly (which it is not on fedora)
12:54
he likely tested the speed before prelink had a chance to work
12:55
<ogra_cmpc>
an you (theroetically) have to run it after every package installation
12:55
<warren>
configured correctly*
12:55
<ogra_cmpc>
i'm not sure readahed copes ...
12:55
its very fragile
12:56
anyway, we dont have a optimized profile on by default, i found that not many ubuntu users know about the profile kerneloption to create the proper lists
12:56
so readahead actually only gains us a marginal speedup
12:58
my prob with all these speedup solutions is that they dont really work on the fly
12:58
you always have to generate a list, db or some such
13:00
and in case of readahead i think something like that should rather be done on filesystem level ... then you dont need such workarounds
13:05deavid has joined #ltsp
13:18
<laga>
ogra_cmpc: oh, readahead has to be configured? i didn't know that
13:19
maybe it'd be helpful if some stuff was documented properly..
13:19
<ogra_cmpc>
laga, boot with: profile
13:19
then reboot
13:19
profile triggers a readahead hook in initramfs that creates the new file lists
13:20
<laga>
it's as easy as that? cool
13:21
<ogra_cmpc>
sadly it doesnt work on stacked filesystems like unionfs or aufs
13:21
<laga>
damn. i was just going to try it :/
13:21
<ogra_cmpc>
and it breaks on nfs as well ...
13:21
so nothing that helps with networked root
13:23indradg has quit IRC
13:23
<laga>
find /usr/share/initramfs-tools/ | xargs grep -i profile returns nothing (on gutsy). is it in the kernel or maybe only in hardy?

is there a reason the ltsp site itself is out of date wrt to pointing to upstream devel?
13:52
should i modify it ?
13:53
<ogra_cmpc>
its a wiki :)
13:55
<johnny>
well.. part of the site is :)
13:55
the main page isn't..
13:55
is there a reason?
13:56
<laga>
ogra_cmpc: um, how do you know that readahead wont work well with unionfs? i've just found references to unionfs being broken (which somehow doesn't surprise me)

mnemoc, depends what you mean by stable
16:54
mnemoc, I keep doing changes to them because they don't work on fedora

16:54mistik1_ is now known as mistik1
16:58
<mnemoc>
warren: what should i use as start point "upstream" for an integration on another distribution? by "stable" i mean it includes what is supposed to work, and that new commits are done when the change is supposed to work :)
16:58
warren: are your problems "just" related to the .specs file or deeper?
17:00
<johnny>
what distro?
17:01
<mnemoc>
johnny: www.opensde.net ... it's a framework to create and maintain custom distributions from zero
17:02
err
17:02
www.opensde.org
17:02
<johnny>
hmm.. i just do that with gentoo i guess :)
17:03
afaik you should use the those trunk branches atm
17:03
<mnemoc>
i have no problem with that ,-)
17:03
johnny: thanks :)
17:03

i might help dberkholz with gentoo integration if he'll let me
17:04
<Q-FUNK>
johnny: you might wanna talk to leio also for that
17:04

more so as a project to help me learn ltsp
17:04
really?

aha.. i knew leio
17:04
err know

<jcastro>
oh man.
20:34
beef, and pork, and chicken
20:34
it was probably awesome
20:34
<jammcq>
I have a couple people from my really big customer in rochester, NY in town today and took them out to a meal they won't soon forget
20:35
<jcastro>
jammcq: went out to lunch the other day with OU people, and sun have been courting them, so they came too, and paid for lunch
20:35
tried to sell them sunrays
20:35
<jammcq>
hmm, free lunch, eh?
20:35
<jcastro>
man
20:35
<jammcq>
dude, did you hear they closed all the La Sheesh's ?
20:35
<jcastro>
we railed them about sunrays vs. ltsp
20:36
I wish I could have taped it for you
20:36
<jammcq>
heh
20:36
<jcastro>
so, lasheesh is closed?
20:36
<jammcq>
yep, gone
20:36
<jcastro>
the whole sponsoring terrorism thing?
20:36
<jammcq>
yeah, I guess so. the tax evasion didn't help either
20:36
<jcastro>
heh
20:36
I love detroit
20:37
jammcq: have you talked to any sun people about sunrays at all in the last year?
20:38
<jammcq>
nope
20:38
not at all
20:38
<jcastro>
hah
20:38
it's awesome
20:38
they have no idea what ltsp can do
20:38
ken explained to them how we have ltsp clients that do all the things they do

well, when Fedora starts shipping it in F9, they'll start to get a clue
20:38
<jcastro>
they didn't really believe him
20:39
they really don't grok hat you can do thin clients without sunrays
20:39
it was pretty awesome
20:40
jammcq: so is F9 going to be all ltsp5-able ootb?
20:40
<jammcq>
umm, well, warren is the guy. let's see what he says
20:41
<jcastro>
warren for the win!
20:41
<warren>
jcastro, I have it maybe 85% working on F8. F9 would be identical if it weren't for a new X bug.
20:41
X's security something layer was completely rewritten
20:41
<jcastro>
I really drilled zonker about ltsp at fosdem
20:41
he's the new suse community guy
20:42
<jammcq>
oh, to see if he's able to make anything happen?
20:42
there's a couple of Opensuse guys who have done some really good work with ltsp-5 and kiwi
20:42
<jcastro>
He just started so he isn't aware of the issues
20:42
so I told him to get ahold of you
20:42
<jammcq>
I think they're doing it without any novell resources tho
20:43
<jcastro>
zonker is good people, I'm sure he'll get ahold of you soon jammcq
20:43
<jammcq>
i've known zonker for a long time
20:44
<jcastro>
jammcq: got to meet Tom "Spot" Calloway from fedora as well
20:44
great guy
20:44
<jammcq>
cool
20:44
<jcastro>
also got to see keith's talk on X
20:44
it was an awesome talk
20:45
<jammcq>
keith usually does a pretty decent talk
20:45
<jcastro>
there was a guy there from ATI/AMD as well
20:45
but it was packed
20:45
<jammcq>
he's got the right amount of smuggness to get up there and have fun
20:45
<jcastro>
from what mirco muller told me people just wrang the ati/amd guy through the wringer
20:45
<jammcq>
ati's in a bit of a pickle
20:46
<jcastro>
rightfully so imo.
20:46
<jammcq>
their driver sucks and they can't opensource what they have
20:46
cuz they don't own the IP in it
20:46
so they're developing a new set of opensource drivers, but that takes forever
20:46
<jcastro>
they subcontracted a suse person to do the oss driver
20:46
but it's only one dude
20:46
vs. intel and their 10-ish so people
20:48
jammcq: off to bed, see you tuesday; warren, see you later!
20:48
<jammcq>
ciao

apparently the way LDM is doing xauth is broken and wrong
20:59
it should be getting the X cookie BEFORE x starts

ogra_, ogra_cmpc: can we PLEASE fork ldm-trunk to ldm-0.1 now?
22:12
ogra_, ogra_cmpc: starting tomorrow I will have incompatible changes, starting with the broken way it does xauth
22:14
ogra_cmpc, ogra_: it is completely appropriate for the cutting edge changes to go into ldm-trunk
22:14
given "trunk'
