<ogra>
hp, well, in ubuntu we say for a gnome desktop per user you need 128M per session
08:39
plus about 256M to run the server itself
08:39
that should be fine with 2G

ogra, if i use ubuntu with ltsp 5, default settings mean, even the first thin client I get to boot off the terminal server would be able to detect a usb disk?
08:43
<ogra>
yep
08:43
<hp>
without me having to configure lts.conf yet?
08:43
<ogra>
right
08:43
<hp>
only with the printers do I have to modify the lts.conf
08:43
ok I'll try that then
08:43
<ogra>
sound, local devices are all set up by default nowadays
08:44
lts.conf is only used for custom setups or to work around bugs
08:44
<hp>
wow, I really have to try that
08:44
I'll just follow the howto link you pointed me to :)

is there still some development done on ltsp4 ?
08:48

not since about 3 years
08:48
<lejo>
great ;)
08:48
no better argument to convince people to go to 5 ;)
08:50

ogra, I'll follow your advice, good night and thank you

I've just upgraded an Edubuntu/LTSP install to Hardy, and now the root filesystem is getting mounted r/o too soon, and so /etc/fstab can't be created to allow /tmp to be mounted r/w... much suffering ensues. Help? Please? :/
13:25
Do I need to remove some package? Reconfigure something?

<spective>
Lns: no... I was hoping to avoid it, since I custom set up local apps etc...
13:28
heh. It's supposed to just "work". (hahah. sigh.)
13:29
<Lns>
spective: it's generally advised to do that after a dist-upgrade...
13:29
well
13:29
not if you upgrade half of your environment ;)

<jammcq>
hello all
13:29
<Lns>
hi jammcq
13:29
<spective>
well, I upgraded the client chroot... didn't rebuild it though.
13:29
So technically, I upgraded both halves.
13:29
<Lns>
hmm..not sure if that's advisable or not..
13:30
did you ltsp-update-image?
13:30spectra has quit IRC
13:30
<spective>
no... was not away of such.
13:30
s/away/aware/
13:30
<Lns>
sudo ltsp-update-image - this is necessary
13:30
<spective>
running it now...

13:37
<spective>
Lns: sigh.... yes.
13:37
How is that best accomplished?
13:37
<Lns>
when you dist-upgraded the chroot, did it even pull from the hardy repos?
13:38
<spective>
yes.
13:38
ltsp-build-client, yes?

13:39
<Lns>
so as to keep your old modifications handy
13:39
<spective>
yes.
13:39
running....
13:40
is there a way to specify a diferent mirror?
13:40
I have a nearby one that is faster...
13:40
<Lns>
yes
13:40
can't recall, man page has it though
13:40
<spective>
ah yes. I see it.
13:44
Much nicer pulling at 800KB/s...
13:44
<Lns>
hehe
13:45
local repo?
13:45
<spective>
eh, not quite. Just a under-utilized server which a ton upload bandwidth. It's a mirror I run.
13:46
well, it's done downloading and is setting it up now....

13:51
now lets see how much works...
13:51
sound works...
13:53
<Lns>
nice
13:53
always good to follow the directions. ;)
13:55
<spective>
verray.
13:55
Ok, but I have an issue with my ssh keys and local apps...
13:55
<Lns>
ssh-keys - try ltsp-update-sshkeys
13:55
<spective>
ok.
13:55
<Lns>
local apps - you're on your own. never used them. :)
13:56
<spective>
they work well. little tricky to set up, but other than that, they're great.
13:56
nice for graphically intensive apps.
13:57
<Lns>
spective: did you follow any howtos on localapps or did you do it all yourself?
13:57
<spective>
followed howtos, but had to hack a bit on my own.
13:57
<Lns>
I'd love to get google earth going
13:57
do you have a URL for the howto you followed?
13:57
<spective>
incidentally, ltsp-update-sshkeys, does not fix the local app issue.
13:57
Lns: no. It was a year ago.
13:57
I've forgotten.
13:57
<Lns>
ah
13:58
well yeah, ssh-keys won't fix localapps
13:58
just updates ssh keys
13:59
<spective>
brb
13:59
ok... lets see. We have ssh keys in three places.
14:00
on the server in /etc/ssh
14:00
on the client image in /etc/ssh
14:00
and on the client image in /root/.ssh/authorized_hosts
14:01
<_UsUrPeR_>
Need some help with DVI support in Fedora 9 w/ LTSP5. I am running a brand spanking new TK-3752/1G Dual-output client
14:01
<spective>
When we run a local app, we are using ssh on the server to connect to the client's ssh server...
14:01staffencasa has quit IRC
14:01
<spective>
so...
14:01
The server's pub keys need to be in the clients /root/.ssh/authorized hosts file. I think.
14:02
<Lns>
spective: you got me there. =p
14:02
<spective>
lol
14:02
<_UsUrPeR_>
I was able to get the same client to work in Ubuntu with a few additions to the lts.conf
14:02
<spective>
The thing is, the local apps icon on the server has to make a key-based authentication connection, so it doesn't ask for a password, and just works instead.
14:04
And... I think the server must be in the clients /etc/ssh/known_hosts file....
14:05
<Gadi>
other way around
14:05makghosh has joined #ltsp
14:05
<Gadi>
oh, no you're right
14:06
actually, no - other way around
14:06
<spective>
rofl. Let me know when you decide.
14:06
<Gadi>
hehe
14:06
if you are ssh'ing from server to client
14:06
then, the client needs to authorize you
14:06
and the server needs to know who the client is
14:07
so, the client's public key should be in the server's ssh_known_hosts
14:07
and the server should have a key-pair such that whoever is launching the app, has the public key in the client's .authorized_keys file
14:08
man - our new local apps stuff works much better than this
14:08
:)
14:08
silly keys....
14:09
just be sure you don't give your users free reign to run anything they like as root on the client
14:09
:)

In this situation, I don't think that will be too much of a risk...
14:10* vagrantc waves to Gadi
14:10
<spective>
given my users... heh
14:11
<score>
when using the qemu-ltsp script and trying to login under ldm, i get "this workstation isn't authorized.." can anyone explain?
14:11
<Gadi>
ah, thats what they all say
14:11* vagrantc feels doomed to support tcsh patches for debian unto all time
14:11
<score>
it appears that it works locally and from thin clients, but i'm trying to test remotely
14:11
<vagrantc>
score: i haven't tested that script in a long, long time ... may not really work anymore.
14:11
<spective>
Gadi, 6th graders? They get excited about "paint"
14:11
<Gadi>
score: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys in your server vm
14:11
<score>
Gadi: i've done that and rebuilt the image
14:11
<Gadi>
spective: be careful - one of our best developers is 13
14:12
:)
14:12
<vagrantc>
score: the issue will likely be that it's getting a fake ip address for the server, and your ssh keys aren't updated
14:12
<Gadi>
score: yeah, make sure your thin client subnet is static IP
14:12
<vagrantc>
score: well, the ssh keys will never get updated, because it has no idea it needs to use the fake ip address
14:13
<Gadi>
s/subnet/interface/
14:13
<score>
vagrantc: in the qemu-ltsp window, it seems to have the ip 10.0.2.15. there aren't any interfaces on the machine with 10. nets
14:13
<spective>
odd, it appears that the ltsp-build-client script did not create ssh keys in /etc/ssh
14:13
no... that's probably because openssh-server is not on the clients...
14:14
<score>
vagrantc: so, i need to edit the qemu-ltsp script's ip range?
14:14
<vagrantc>
score: correct, it's using qemu's virtual ip addreses.
14:14
score: you might have luck by specifying LDM_SERVER=real.ip.of.server in lts.conf
14:15
<spective>
Is there a way to prevent the openssh-server postinst script from attempting to restart the openssh server?
14:15
<jonnor>
13 year old ltsp dev? impressive
14:15
<spective>
eh?
14:15
oh
14:16
look, if one of my 6th graders hacks the ltsp install, I'll hire him.
14:16
or her.
14:17
<Lns>
child labor!
14:18
=p
14:18
<spective>
heh
14:19
<Gadi>
spective: what are you using for homedirs?
14:19
and what apps are you running locally?
14:20
most apps like users
14:20
:)
14:20
<spective>
Gadi: tuxpaint, tuxtype, tuxmath, gcompris, mostly.
14:20
<Gadi>
nothing that saves settings?
14:20
or files?
14:20
or prints?
14:21
<spective>
I'm using "standard" homedirs. They don't print from any of the local apps...
14:21
don't think they save either.
14:21
<Lns>
no saving in tuxpaint? :(
14:22
<Gadi>
ok - just be aware - the road you are heading down allows for none of the above
14:22
but, our new local apps support will hopefully address all those issues
14:22
<spective>
Gadi: I need none of the above for the local apps I use.
14:22
Gadi, what is the status of the new local app support for a hardy-based system?
14:23
<Gadi>
well, as ogra would say "you can request a backport" ;)
14:23
but, I think if anything, it will show up in intrepid
14:23
<spective>
targeted at intrepid?
14:23
ah.
14:23
So what approach is being used for the new method?
14:24
<Gadi>
it will work out of the box and you won't even know it
14:24
you just need to install apps in the chroot
14:24
(its a mixture of ssh auth + sshfs + Xatom launching + xdg menu magic)
14:24
<spective>
wild.
14:24
<Gadi>
but it should be mostly transparent
14:25
cyberorg has everything but the xdg menu magic in his opensuse packages atm
14:25
<spective>
nice.
14:25
<Gadi>
he likes merging the newly minted still in flux code ;)
14:26
<spective>
Insanity has its merits.
14:26elisboa has quit IRC
14:26
<Gadi>
anyhow, the Xatoms stuff makes your ssh key stuff not necessary
14:26
<spective>
delightful.
14:26
<Gadi>
which should save you some headaches
14:27
:)
14:27
<spective>
yes. since my keys are still not working.
14:27elisboa has joined #ltsp
14:28
<Gadi>
ah, right - so to get them to work, you should make a key-pair that all can read on the server
14:28
and then tell your launchers to use that keypair
14:28
and make sure the public key is in: $chroot/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
14:29
(use ssh -i .... in the launcher)
14:29
<spective>
pondering.
14:30
ok... trying.
14:31jimjimovich has joined #ltsp
14:34
<jimjimovich>
can someone give me a tip on where/how to add monitor sync values to lts.conf in LTSP-5? I keep breaking my ubuntu ltsp server trying to do it. I get the "this workstation isn't authorized..." error
14:35
<johnny>
that's an ssh error usally..
14:35
of the server IP changing
14:35
<Gadi>
the workstaion authorized has nothing to do with sync values
14:35
<spective>
jim, does it work without the sync values?
14:35
<jimjimovich>
hmmm
14:36
well, it broke (possibly because of IP change). Then I fixed it by rebuilding the ltsp image. then i changed the lts.conf and it broke again
14:36
<Lns>
jimjimovich: did you sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys?
14:36
<jimjimovich>
yes
14:37
it was working, then i simply changed the lts.conf and it broke again. oh wait, i guess i just got a blinking cursor then
14:37
(sorry, did it hours ago, just nobody was here at that time)
14:37
<Gadi>
whats the IP of your thin client interface?
14:37
<Lns>
jimjimovich: reversing your changes in lts.conf causes it to work again?
14:37makghosh has quit IRC
14:38
<Gadi>
do: grep <that-IP> /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
14:38warren has joined #ltsp
14:38
<warren>
Is any other distro using nbd-server with the -a timeout option?
14:38
<Gadi>
not ubuntu
14:39
<warren>
because if a client disappears without disconnecting from nbd-server (the norm with LTSP), then nbd-server is sitting there for 2 hours by default
14:39
<jimjimovich>
Gadi: did the grep, got nothing
14:40
<Gadi>
jimjimovich: do sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys again
14:40
if your IP changes, then make it not
14:40
:)
14:40
<Lns>
=p gadi
14:40

and the ltsp-update-image ?
14:40
<Gadi>
johnny: indeed
14:41
<jimjimovich>
Gadi: the IP changed on the server because of a bad NIC. But after I fixed that, I redid the ltsp image, ssh keys and everything. then it worked. the thing i don't understand is why it broke when i changed lts.conf
14:42
<Gadi>
it should not have
14:42
do that grep thing to make sure things are updated
14:42
<jimjimovich>
what is the error usually when you just get a flashing cursor right before the login screen?
14:42
what should i see in the grep?
14:42
<Gadi>
you should see a line in that file with your IP address
14:42
<jimjimovich>
the ip of the server or the client?
14:43
<Gadi>
the reason you are not authorizzed is that your server is not a known host
14:43
the server
14:43
<Lns>
jimjimovich: blinking cursor before LDM is usually just the monitor/video being detected on TC
14:43
<Gadi>
the client needs to "know" your server in the biblical sense
14:43
<jimjimovich>
Gadi: :)
14:44
Gadi: actually, i'm sorry, it wasn't the not authorized thing, it was the blinking cursor thing, got confused

hi
15:08
i'm looking for a way to install my ubuntu onto a high-power server at the company and use it via ltsp from home or when i'm on the road
15:09
<warren>
131072 seems to be a special number
15:09
<pimp^air>
however i only find information about using ltsp on the local network
15:09
warren: its a power of 2
15:09
ist 128M ram:)
15:09
remember the counter
15:09
<Gadi>
warren: you are limited by the file size being exported
15:09
thats the limit
15:10
it is exporting 131072 blocks
15:10
<pimp^air>
so my question: is there a way to connect to ltsp via a network connections and ssh
15:10
<Gadi>
warren: and you are trying to read 459222
15:10
<pimp^air>
i did not install ltsp yet, so a "yes or no" would help
15:10
<warren>
Gadi: yeah, something is confused here
15:10
pimp^air: ltsp is exclusively for super high bandwidth local networks
15:10
pimp^air: you want something else like VNC or NX for over the internet
15:10
pimp^air: which have nothing to do with LTSP
15:11
<pimp^air>
ok, i know those two... vnc is to slow
15:11
what is super high bandwidth?
15:11
especially the latency would have to be small i guess
15:11
at home i have 16mbit
15:11
<warren>
pimp^air: like 10mbit/sec minimum
15:11
<Gadi>
pimp^air: use NX
15:11
<pimp^air>
but only downstream
15:11
ok, i'll have a look at NX
15:12
i tried it once or twice, but without looking further into it
15:12
<Gadi>
it is your best bet
15:12
<pimp^air>
however i finally want to get rid of local software installation
15:12
i really hate my computer for their noise and for braking kaput

sounds like thats the size of your squashfs image
15:13

the squashfs image is 351367168 bytes
15:14
<Gadi>
thats bytes not blocks
15:15

block size 131072?

15:18
default block size is 1024M
15:18
er, 1024k
15:19
er
15:19
I dunno what Im saying
15:20
<warren>
1024k == 131072?
15:20staffencasa has joined #ltsp
15:21
<Gadi>
128*1024 = 131072
15:21
<warren>
where is 128 coming from?
15:21
<Gadi>
so, it seems that mksquashfs uses 128k blocks
15:21
<alexC>
pimp^air: you could have a local LTSP run network, a server with two NICs and SSH to your server to monitor the network
15:22
<Gadi>
So, your image should be 2681 blocks
15:22
of 128kbytes each

16:21warren has joined #ltsp

16:23
<vagrantc>
Gadi: i downgraded to the old openssh, and it didn't work. i upgraded openssh, and it worked. multiple times. no other changes.
16:24
there may be other factors, but that was at least one key point.
16:24
<Gadi>
cool
16:24
<vagrantc>
Gadi: i didn't yet share the "ssh -O exit" stuff ... i've been meaning to post to a debian bug report about it and cc ltsp-developer
16:24
<Gadi>
sucks to have to do a: ssh ... ssh -V
16:24
:P
16:25
<vagrantc>
?
16:25
<Gadi>
well, I assume that's how you will be able to tell
16:25
<vagrantc>
haven't figured out how to make it work.
16:25
<Gadi>
serverSSHVersion=$(ssh -S ${LTSP_SOCKET} ${LTSP_VERSION} /usr/bin/ssh -V)
16:26
<vagrantc>
that would tell you the client version
16:26
<Gadi>
the version of the server's client
16:26
<vagrantc>
not necessarily the server version ... though they're *likely* to be the same.
16:27
<Gadi>
I think its a fair assumption
16:28
<vagrantc>
the other method i thought would be to use distro-specific plugins to ldminfod
16:28
to pass the version
16:28
<Gadi>
but that assumes the LTSP server = app server
16:29
<vagrantc>
well, currently. but i think ldminfod should really belong in it's own package, along with dependencies for things that belong on app servers like a desktop and so on.
16:30
<Gadi>
oh - ldminfod
16:30
i was thinking l-b-c
16:30
how about just an lts.conf variable - LDM_LEGACY_MODE
16:30
<vagrantc>
that was my other approach
16:31
but it's really a per-server configuration, not a per client configuration.
16:31
<Gadi>
we are working around a bug
16:31
true
16:31
<vagrantc>
and our way of communicating server capabilities is currently ldminfod
16:31
<warren>
I'm not sure what is going on with nbd and squashfs mounts
16:31
it seems that squashfs is using more than 131072 blocks, but nbd0 thinks 131072 is the limit.
16:31
<Gadi>
vagrantc: I am hoping your thinking is to do ssh -O unless told otherwise by whatever mechanism, right?
16:32
<warren>
if I use nbd-client on the server itself and mount locally it has no problem
16:32
<vagrantc>
Gadi: yes.
16:32
Gadi: well, we have to append the "kill -1 $PPID" stuff onto the starting of the Xsession command, and nix the "ssh -O exit" when that happens.
16:33
<Gadi>
hey - here's an idea:
16:33
can you run ssh -O in the background and put a sleep after it
16:33
then follow up with a kill
16:33
that way, if ssh -O does hang, it will be killed by the kill
16:33
and if it doesn't everything exits nicely
16:34
<warren>
that sounds like something Gadi would think of
16:34
=)
16:34
<Gadi>
:)
16:34
<vagrantc>
Gadi: no, because the "ssh -O exit" doesn't ever happen unless you append the kill on the initial command.
16:34
<Gadi>
why are we still appending the kill?
16:34
<johnny>
hmm... you guys find odd bugs
16:35
<Gadi>
why can't we issue an ssh ... kill?
16:35
should be the same PPID
16:35
no?
16:35
<vagrantc>
Gadi: because without the kill on older versions, it hangs on logout and never runs the K* scripts
16:35
<Gadi>
oh...
16:35
I thought it was ssh -O that was causing the hang
16:35
<vagrantc>
it's a particularly annoying bug.
16:36
<Gadi>
it never runs ssh -O?
16:36
<vagrantc>
correct. just hangs.
16:36
<Gadi>
that still makes no sense to me
16:36
because it shouldn't run the kill either
16:36
:)
16:36
<vagrantc>
well, it runs ssh -O exit after you manually kill the process, and then ssh -O hangs because it still has a socket, but the socket doesn';t go anywhere.
16:37
it makes perfect sense to me, and i'm at a loss how to explain it futher.
16:37
<warren>
btw, what benefit does this ssh -O thing get us?
16:37
<Gadi>
warren: it is the key to making everything clean
16:37
<vagrantc>
there's basically three phases ... ssh to establish the tunnel, ssh to start the X session, and then after the X session ends.
16:37
warren: it properly does pam_logout
16:38
or pam_close_session, or whatever it's called.
16:38jammcq has quit IRC
16:39
<vagrantc>
Gadi: so right now, we do kill $PPID on the tail end of starting the X session ... without it, on older versions of ssh, it hangs.
16:39
and $PPID is the pid of the sshd process
16:39
<Gadi>
right
16:39
but "hangs" is non specific
16:39
it obviously continues to process more commands
16:40
because otherwise "kill" would never be executed
16:40
so, does it prevent ldm from continuing to call the rc.d scripts?
16:40
you say yes, I think
16:41
<vagrantc>
when it hits the end of "... Xsession ; ltspfsmouter all cleanup" it doesn't close the ssh connection.
16:41
<Gadi>
right
16:41
so, it doesn't return to the ldm controlling process
16:41
<vagrantc>
leaving ldm waiting till that call to ssh ends ...
16:42
<Gadi>
what if you did: ....Xsession ; ltspfsmounter ...; exit 0
16:42
<vagrantc>
Gadi: that's actually the next thing i planned on doing ... had hoped to test it yesterday, but got distracted but a dozen other things...
16:42
<Gadi>
ah, ok
16:42
its really not that "it holds open the ssh socket" or anything
16:43
its merely that the ssh child process does not close
16:43
which means the ldm parent process does not proceed to call the rc.d K scripts
16:44
<vagrantc>
i don't know exactly what is doing it, but that's the end result, yes.

but
21:22
why wont fedora 8 install on my machine?
21:22
<petre>
My thought was to have a script that called system-config-network, all the user to twiddle those parts, then call nautilus with the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory
21:22
to let them edit the newly created ethX interface
21:23

21:23

21:23
<chupacabra>
i was hoping there was a known issue.
21:23
8 is old
21:23
<petre>
it doesn't prevent the steps from working, but I think it might freak the user out
21:23
<warren>
how many users will run nautilus from a command line?
21:24
<chupacabra>
none.
21:24

none, the point is to put it into a script

petre: (btw, might want to test a F10 live cd to make sure that isn't still a bug, if it is please file)
21:24
<petre>
click on one button on the desktop to launch the necessary pieces
21:25
have it automatically bring up system-config-network
21:25
let the user make necessary mods
21:25
<chupacabra>
im using 8 because amahi only runs inn 8
21:25
<petre>
after user closes that, have it open nautilus pointing at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
21:26
so user can right click on ethX, choosed gedit, make change
21:26
<warren>
petre: might not be a bad thing for the user to know where to find the launcher for tools though.
21:26
especially that tool
21:26
and the change they make to the config file
21:27
<petre>
it would be a good thing, but I'm not sure this would be the time to teach them paths & tools
21:27
<warren>
because not knowing that change they can easily fuck their network later
21:27
<petre>
yes, I suppose you're correct
21:28
I'm just trying to keep away from a command line if possible
21:28
user can open Computer icon on desktop, drill down to .../network-scripts
21:28
but won't do any good unless one is root

instructing the user to open a terminal and su - to root is not that big a deal, I suppose

21:30
CL is more powerful, IMHO, but I'm trying to make it as easy as possible
21:33
<warren>
isn't this still easier than setting up K12LTSP?
21:33
fewer steps at least
21:34
<petre>
debatable
21:34
k12ltsp is only about 6-8 clicks with the mouse and it installs everything
21:34
OTOH, there's no live demo of k12ltsp
21:35
aside from the doctored edubuntu CD I made
21:35
so in that sense, yes, this is miles ahead of that
21:36
The steps in the README are really quite easy
21:36
but I've been doing this kind of stuff for a while;
21:37
I fear a teacher trying it out might be inclined to run away if there's CL work
21:37
so, I'm trying to figure out a way to avoid it, if possible; maybe it's not possible
21:38
k12lstp may also get the nics backwards, so it's not foolproof
21:38
this approach seems less likely to do that
21:41
<warren>
I'm really afraid of screwing your network with dhcpd
21:41
even I did it at work
21:41
twice
21:41
it wasn't pretty
21:41
they know it is me instantly now
21:41
=)
21:42
I'm thinking about adding a dhcp detector to the ltsp-dhcpd service
21:42
if you want to use it in a fancier way "dhcpd with failover" you have to flip a config option or something
21:44
<petre>
I used to work for Nextel; when I started there in 2001, they wouldn't let me run linux because some engineer had previously unleashed a dhcp server on a linux box, made a mess of things
21:44
took me two years to get them to relent
21:44
<chupacabra>
nont run dhcp on the ltsp server.
21:44
dont even
21:44
<petre>
for a live usb demo, dhcp is necessary
21:45
<chupacabra>
let their server point ot the ltsp server kernel
21:45
<petre>
most teachers don't control the school's dhcp server
21:46
<chupacabra>
ltsp over usb?
21:46
<petre>
ltsp via usb (stick)
21:46
<chupacabra>
ahh
21:46
<petre>
live CD on usb stick
21:46
really cool, I typing this on it
21:46
i'm
21:46
I'm
21:47
<chupacabra>
no, but you cant just throw another dhcp server on any network and not expect problems.
21:47
<warren>
chupacabra: http://wtogami.livejournal.com/27610.html
21:47
chupacabra: the usual way of using LTSP is to have an isolated network segment
21:47
<chupacabra>
that is your fault and problem
21:47
<warren>
if you want to use it in ANY other way you need manual configuration
21:47
<chupacabra>
warren: yes.
21:48
I been doing ltsp since the 90s
21:48
<jammcq>
warren: chupacabra was doing ltsp back when you were.... ok, I won't say it :)
21:48
<chupacabra>
lol
21:48
thanks Jim
21:49* jammcq hopes he didn't offend warren
21:50
<warren>
jammcq: I was doing LTSP back around 2002
21:50
<chupacabra>
my advice was basic sysadmin advice.
21:51
<warren>
chupacabra: yes, except the target user these days doesn't know anything about networking =(
21:51
<jammcq>
yeah, and chuppy was doing it before then
21:51
<chupacabra>
like dont run a server on your workplace network that might get boingboinged.
21:51
<warren>
chupacabra: things are so easy these days they don't even know they are running a server.
21:51
these users don't know what a server is
21:52
chupacabra: and with my live ltsp server, you could run a server without installing anything
21:52
which is both cool and scary
21:52
<chupacabra>
I thought linux was the moving target, not the sheeple that depend on it.
21:53
<petre>
that's the irony of ltsp: it's brilliant engineering, but to the user, it looks like a 'regular' computer
21:53
which is good in that it doesn't frighten users, but I don't think they always appreciate how clever it is
21:53
<jammcq>
well kidz, i'm heading to bed. it's early, but i've been staying up WAAAAAY too late lately
21:53
<chupacabra>
ya, "Nobody Cares" as lon as it works. and two dhcp servers on one network doesn't
21:54
nini Jim.
21:54
<petre>
so, testing for an existing dhcp server would be a good thing, I agree
21:55
would you just do a dhcp request, see if you get an answer?
21:55
<chupacabra>
maybe one could hack dhcpd to work no matter idf their was another dhcp server on the network but it would be a bitch
21:56
i thought about that but how do you know its range and what if it is 253 ips
21:56
<warren>
petre: good thing yes, but totally not fool proof
21:56
petre: and it is time consuming
21:56
<chupacabra>
back to square one in my book
21:57
<petre>
wasn't that part of the point of the bridge?
21:57
<warren>
petre: point of the bridge was to preconfigure all the services
21:57
<chupacabra>
hmmm. lemmee think about that. putting em on a diff subnet
21:58
<petre>
ah, right, then just connect it all to the desired interface via the bridge
21:58
<chupacabra>
not optimal
21:58
<petre>
perhaps I'm overthinking this
21:59
since the interface is going to the eth-something, is a newbie (teacher) likely to even know that's a network interface?
21:59
<warren>
petre: don't you need to know this for K12LTSP as well?
22:00
<petre>
sort of: it shows you, graphically, all the interfaces it sees
22:00
<warren>
what shows you?
22:00
<petre>
installer
22:00
<warren>
they wrote a custom screen for the installer?
22:01
<petre>
but it might get them backwards
22:01
<warren>
(I haven't used K12LTSP since maybe 2003)
22:01
<petre>
Eric might have
22:01
<johnny>
chupacabra, yes
22:01* johnny wonders if he remembers your first name..
22:01
<johnny>
the name mike comes to my head
22:01
<warren>
getting it backwards is really bad!
22:01
<petre>
if it finds two nics, it automatically chooses one for clients, other for public
22:02
yes, it is, and sometimes what you chose during installation is not what you'd get after reboot
22:02
after installation finished
22:02
so, it wasn't bullet-proof
22:02
it was a regular question on the list
22:03
"I installed k12ltsp with no problems, but now my clients won't boot" kinda stuff
22:05
in my installs, it usually picks the gbit nic for eth1, not what I want, but I figure that's just my karma
22:05
and if the box has, say, two gbit nics, the user will have to choose, and may still get it backwards
22:06
which, as you say, is really bad
22:06
I don't know that there's a foolproof way to prevent it
22:07
I gotta go to bed, been up since 3:30 this morning
22:08
I've got a bunch of screen shots for assembling an html README, but as I said, I'd like to avoid a commandline if I can
22:08
because I think that may turn some people off
22:08
I'll sleep on it

22:21
was outside
22:21
cool

i remember that nick switch problwem
22:22
was fun for a few weeks
22:22
floppyfw did that too.
22:23
put the command line in a gtk box or something

hi everyone]
23:11
i need some help ..
23:13
<vagrantc>
!question
23:13
<ltspbot>
vagrantc: "question" is if you have a question about ltsp, please go ahead and ask it, and people will respond if they can. please also mention the linux distro and release you're using. :)
23:14Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp
23:14
<dchristiaan>
ok
23:15
i'm using OpenSuse 11 with KIWI-LTSP
23:15
i've install everythin
23:15
<warren>
is anyone else annoyed at kiwi users coming here?
23:15
we can't help them
23:15
<dchristiaan>
and successfully boot the client
23:15
<warren>
kiwi is too different
23:16
<dchristiaan>
ouch :(
23:16
when i tried to login on the client
23:16
<warren>
dchristiaan: KIWI is a fork of LTSP upstream. LTSP behaves almost the same on all other distros. You need to get help from the KIWI community.
23:17
<dchristiaan>
ok then .. thanks a lot
23:17* Ryan52 thinks there needs to be a #kiwi
23:17
<vagrantc>
the basic concept of kiwi isn't soo different
23:17
the only difference really is fewer plugins, really.
23:18
for ltsp-build-client
23:18
<warren>
the last few people cmoing here for kiwi help
23:18
they mentioned tools and config I've never heard
23:18
of
23:19
their networking config is completely different
23:19
I can't troubleshoot that
23:19
forget it, waste of time bitching about kiwi
23:19* warren sleep
23:19
<dchristiaan>
i got error mesasge said --> ssh: Could not resolve hostname REPLACE_SERVER_IP: Temporary failure in name resolution
23:20
after that my client goes to logon windows again
23:31
Ok,, NOT talking abount KIWI
23:31
i need suggestion
23:32
<vagrantc>
after defending the similarities with KIWI, my hunch here is that it's something totally different with kiwi-ltsp, and i have no idea how to fix it. :)
23:32
<dchristiaan>
which one is better .... OpenSuse 11 + KIWI-LTSP or OpenSuse 11 + LTSP-5 ?
23:32
forget about my question .. i already fixed it :)
23:32
<vagrantc>
sounds like REPLACE_SERVER_IP is something that should have gotten substituted with a real ip address, but didn't.
23:33
<dchristiaan>
i forgot to change IP_SERVER on lts.conf :(
23:33
stupid things :)
23:33
<vagrantc>
hmmm... IP_SERVER ... that also sounds like a kiwi-ltsp-ism
23:33
<dchristiaan>
Bro, what do u think better is ? OS 11 + LTSP-5 or OS11 + KIWI-LTSP ?
23:34
<vagrantc>
i don't think there is an ltsp5 implementation for opensuse, just kiwi-ltsp, which is similar to ltsp5 in basic concept.
23:34
but it seems like they haven't maintained a lot of the conventions followed by other ltsp5 distros.
23:35
but maybe that's because opensuse doesn't maintain a lot of conventions used by other distros ... i don't really know.
23:36
<dchristiaan>
what about OpenSuse 11 + LTSP-4.2 ?
23:36
is it good ?
23:36
<vagrantc>
ltsp 4.2 is basically unmaintained at this point.
23:37
<dchristiaan>
so ? which one should i use to implemen LTSP on OpenSuse 11 ..
23:38
previously i success implenet OpenSuse 10.3+LTSP-4.2 at my office ..
