Nubae, it seems there is far too much interest in diskless fat client than i thought
01:02indradg has joined #ltsp
01:03
<johnny>
too much?
01:04
<cyberorg>
johnny, two people asked for it in last two days :)
01:04
i spoke to few more, they also showed interest in thing like that
01:05
everyone agreed that it is a good thing to have in addition to diskless thin client

oh
02:18
what version are you on locally?
02:18
<warren>
johnny: turns out bzr-1.5 is too old to talk to bzr-1.6 on the server
02:19
<johnny>
suprised to see it move so quickly
02:20

yeah

wow, edubuntu list is hot with dissent, and k12ltsp list seems sure the blame of all ltsp problems lie in ed/ubuntu
02:43Nubae1 is now known as Nubae
02:44
<Nubae>
I wonder if this is a sign more people are starting to use LTSP...
02:46Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp
02:47
<wwx>
no, they found after all somebody to blame
02:48
<Nubae>
yep... biting the hand that feeds :-)
02:49
<johnny>
Nubae, link?
02:50
<Nubae>
are u on the edubuntu/ubuntu and k12 mailing lists?
02:51baba_melone has joined #ltsp
02:51
<Nubae>
funny, ask them to please list the problems they are having and I get the response... we already did that lots of times...
02:58
<cyberorg>
Nubae, really weird stuff here https://www.redhat.com/archives/k12ltsp-list/2008-September/thread.html
02:58
none about ltsp though :)
03:04
<Nubae>
haha, funny... :-)

Nubae, they are right, they moaned a lot about hanging apps ... i ask them to file bugs for each of them so i can hassle the pp devs since about 1.5 years ... no bugs unitl today (but we have crap like gnome-watchdog now instead of having the probelms identified)
03:10
s/pp/app/
03:11
if i find the time i'll write an answer
03:11
but that will be rather longish and loud ... so i try to keep out of that thread atm
03:11ccherrett has quit IRC
03:13
<ogra>
Nubae, on a sidenote i suspect the initiator of that thread just copied his setup 1:1 from his centos 4 (or whatever he had there) to ubuntu hardy ... which indeed causes massive probs

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2008-August/004364.html
03:18
thats the source of the distress
03:19
<ogra>
i know
03:19
<Nubae>
I'm gonna write an answer as a lot of this can be simply fixed by upgrading to 8.04
03:21
<ogra>
btw, i dont know him and i'm sure RichEd (education manager) doesnt know him either
03:21
not sure to which "canonical employees" he has spoken as he claims ...
03:21
<Nubae>
never seen him on the channels either
03:22
and to say u dont get answered on #ltsp is pretty heavy...
03:22
<ogra>
yeah
03:22
i guess he rather refers to #edubuntu ...
03:23
for which thats true since we tried to switch over to #ubuntu-education (which sadly didnt really work out)
03:24ATA_Dark_Shadow has joined #ltsp
03:24
<Nubae>
well, there has been a communication break down I guess
03:24
<ogra>
yeah, and people are upset that edubuntu as a brand slowly vanishes
03:25
<Nubae>
yeah there is some lingering weirdness to that, though in practice nothing changes
03:26
<ogra>
we want ubuntu as a whole being seen as an educational distro since thta was the aim from the beginning, edubuntu as a brand was a mistake
03:26
<Nubae>
yeah a difficult one to fix now
03:26
<ogra>
but we seem to fail in getting that across
03:26
(not my job though ... )
03:27
with intrepid there wont be a orderable CD anymore for edubuntu ...
03:27
<johnny>
how about redirecting the channel???
03:27
<ogra>
we'll still keep the iso, but include edubuntu-desktop as task on the ubuntu DVD
03:27
<johnny>
other folks do that
03:27
<Nubae>
redirecting the channel is not a bad idea
03:28
<ogra>
i was a bit reluctant to that in the past since i didnt want to lose the rest of edubuntu people we had
03:28
but with the final step of dropping the iso it surely makes a lot of sense
03:29
my only prob with having an all in one DVD is that many/most edubuntu users live in countries wehe its really hard to get a dvd burner or reader
03:29
edubuntu is big in brazil, india south america and africa
03:30
where you even have a hard time to get the necessary RAM and CPU for a usable server ....
03:31
(or enough bandwith to download a 4G DVD)
03:32
<johnny>
how about .. get a dollar from every ubuntu user
03:32cyberorg has quit IRC
03:32
<johnny>
problem solved
03:33
give all the stuff away :)
03:33
<ogra>
heh
03:33
i guess i'D get one or two probs wih my marketing dept. :)
03:33
<johnny>
hey.. it'd make ubuntu look really good
03:34
don't force people to pay.. just ask :)
03:34
<ogra>
well, we give away CDs for free
03:34
since 4 years
03:34
<johnny>
i meant for the hardware too :)
03:35
<ogra>
you mean i should just reuse to accepy my salary ?
03:35
*refuse
03:35
<johnny>
huh?
03:35
<ogra>
where should the money come from ?
03:35
<johnny>
i just told you silly
03:36
$1 donation on download :)
03:36
<ogra>
that would lose us millions of users
03:36
<johnny>
asking for a donation?
03:36
ASKING
03:36
not telling
03:37
<ogra>
you can buy ubuntu boxed on amazon ... we make money with that ... additionally you can get the single pressed CD for free from shipit
03:37
thats teh marketing concept that made us big
03:37rjune has quit IRC
03:37
<ogra>
now switching to a donation model will make people moan that canonical is after making money
03:37
or getting greedy or some such
03:38
<Nubae>
yeah will put wood on the fire
03:38
<johnny>
donation directly to giving away servers to brazilan schools?
03:38
<ogra>
its hard to get across such changes
03:38cyberorg has joined #ltsp
03:38
<ogra>
how can we prove all that money doesnt go into canonicals cashflow ?
03:39
<Nubae>
So this scott guy claims to have spoken to a bunch of canonical employees at linux world
03:39
<johnny>
have it run by somebody who is not canonical..
03:39
<ogra>
as we grow people bring up more and more suspicions ... the philosophy iside canonical never changed but we get accused for greed more and more
03:40
doing such a thing is a great idea, but has a massive risk in it
03:41
Nubae, nobody who would have anything to do with either ltsp or edu

<zamba>
how can i make the dns information from the dhcp replies be the ones overwriting /etc/resolv.conf?
03:50
<ogra>
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf in the client chroot has settings for that
03:50
(though it should happen by default usually=
03:50
)
03:53
<zamba>
ogra: it doesn't here
03:53
ogra: running kiosk mode
03:54
<ogra>
right, then set it in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
03:55
i think the prepend domain-name-servers directive does it
03:55
or "require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;"
03:55
one of these should help
03:55
<zamba>

hello all
05:06
i have a problem with the kiosk LTSP plugin
05:07
it doesnt load firefox automatically, user on the thin client should click on his mouse to trigger firefox to open
05:07
how to let it go without that ?

<walter>
You guys.
06:02
I am encountering issues on Suse-Ltsp, though I believe that this is a generic LTSP problem.
06:03
Every two or three days, clients which are rebooted don't connect to the Server anymore. I looked into the errors, and it seems to be: nbd-client, Server closed connection.
06:03
Furthermore, the clients which are already running keep working fine.
06:04
And, it seems to be looking for /dev/nbd0, and I dunno about the clients, but it ain't on the server.
06:04
<cyberorg>
walter, what kiwi-ltsp version are you running?
06:04
<walter>
Any ideas?
06:04gate_keeper__ has quit IRC
06:04
<walter>
Latest.
06:04
<cyberorg>
walter, how many clients do you have?
06:04
<walter>
cyberorg, furthermore, whenever I run, from the server, kiwi-ltsp-setup -c, everything works again.
06:04
cyberorg, about 11.
06:05
<cyberorg>
walter, when that happens check "ps ax | grep nbd-server"
06:05
<walter>
cyberorg, I am trying to find a stable solution though
06:07
cyberorg, it is running
06:07
cyberorg, many instances, by the way
06:07
<cyberorg>
walter, also let me know what is the value of instances in /etc/xinetd.conf
06:07
walter, how many?
06:07
walter, pastebin /etc/hosts.allow too
06:11
<walter>
cyberorg, Awright, gimme a moment
06:12
cyberorg, 30 instances
06:13
<cyberorg>
walter, make it 100
06:13
and rcxinetd restart
06:13
<walter>
cyberorg, would that influece the issue?
06:14
<cyberorg>
does /etc/hosts.allow have nbdrootd: ALL: keepalive?
06:14
<walter>
cyberorg, what I ain't getting is: why does kiwi-ltsp-setup -c restart everything correctly?

<cyberorg>
walter, because it does rcxineted restart, that allows for 30 more instances of nbd-server
06:15
<walter>
cyberorg, but I got 11 running.
06:15
cyberorg, /etc/hosts.allow is all commented.
06:15
<cyberorg>
walter, is ps ax showing just 11 when you have this issue>?
06:15
<walter>
walter, actually no, many more. Why?
06:15
<cyberorg>
walter, if they reach 30 you wont be able to connect any more clients
06:16
pastebin the output of "rpm -qa | grep ltsp"
06:16
<walter>
cyberorg, the problem being, I got 11. Why are there 30plus running
06:16
?
06:16loca|host has quit IRC
06:16
<cyberorg>
walter, because you dont have nbdrootd: ALL: keepalive in /etc/hosts.allow that kills stale processes
06:17
<walter>
cyberorg, I am going to add that. Gimme a moment
06:17
<cyberorg>
so the output of "rpm -qa | grep ltsp" will help figure out why the version you are using does not have that fix, i remember fixing it
06:20
<walter>
ltsp-server-5.1.15_080809-2.1
06:20
<cyberorg>
walter, use pastebin.com, paste full output
06:21
<walter>
Gimme a moment.
06:21
After adding the line, what?
06:21
rcxinetd restart?
06:21
<cyberorg>
yes
06:22
<walter>
cyberorg, I still got about 58 nbd-servers running? WIll they go, eventually, or just stay there?
06:23
<cyberorg>
they should go away after about 2 hours

06:24
<cyberorg>
pastebin "zypper sl"
06:24
<walter>
cyberorg, as long as I ain't gotta reboot the server, I am more then glad to upgrade.
06:25
<cyberorg>
walter, we dont reboot linux servers, we just restart services :)
06:25

"services" like the cpu? ;)
06:25

cyberorg, that's the way to go.
06:25

cyberorg, It is pretty fast ;) What is that going to do? Upgrade ltsp and... tools?
06:27
Which tools?
06:28
<cyberorg>
walter, just copy paste that command, once the update is complete change /srv/tftpboot/KIWI/lts.conf CONFIGURE_X=true
06:29
<walter>
A ZYpp transaction is already in progress. This means, there is another application using the libzypp library for package management running. All such applications must be closed before using this command.
06:29
Why?
06:29
<cyberorg>
kiwi packages are in openSUSE:Tools repo and all the ltsp ones in server:ltsp
06:29
walter, you have another zypper, yast or updater running?
06:30
<walter>
Actually that is a problem. Each time I gotta run Yast, I need to kill a process caledd packaged or similar
06:30
Packageitd, in fact.
06:30
<cyberorg>
walter, rpm -e packagekitd ;)
06:30
<walter>
Yeah, thattun.
06:30
<cyberorg>
it is a bugger
06:31
<walter>
wrong package name though
06:31
It ain't finding it

06:32

suse sounds broken ;)
06:32
<walter>
I barely used it. I mean, I installed it, configured it, I did one or two upgrades where I didn't really know what was going on, but that's about it. It is pretty new.
06:33
Cause I ain't familiar with Yast2 at all.
06:34
<cyberorg>
packagekit works ok sometimes, but using multiple package manager simultaneously has its disadvantages
06:34
<walter>
cyberorg, Neeway, I am upgrading now. No worries.
06:34
<cyberorg>
stick to yast and zypper
06:34
<wigwam>
please, how to change xserver kbmap in client image?
06:35
<walter>
cyberorg, the problem is that packagekitd restart automatically, for some reason ;)
06:35
<cyberorg>
*till packagekitd matures
06:35
walter, rpm -qf `which packagekitd` find the name of the package and then rpm -e thatpackage
06:36
<walter>
Right.
06:36
<cyberorg>
not while zypper is running though :)
06:37
<walter>
Whoops. That's what I just did
06:37
:D
06:37
;)
06:38
Awright ZYpper finished.
06:38Pascal_1 has left #ltsp
06:39
<walter>
Which programs shall I restart then?
06:39
<cyberorg>
just do rpm -qa | grep ltsp again just to be sure all packages are up to date, did update from openSUSE:Tools repo too?
06:39
walter, first fix lts.conf
06:39
then check /etc/hosts.allow to see if nbdrootd stuff is in there
06:40
check that after running kiwi-ltsp-setup -c""
06:40
"kiwi-ltsp-setup -c"
06:41
<walter>
Did it. I shall run "kiwi-ltsp-setup -c" now? Cause normally it changes my lts.conf, which is why I gotta make a backup copy first.
06:42
<cyberorg>
walter, it shouldn't change now, fixed that as well
06:42
<walter>
Right.
06:42
<cyberorg>
that is why you have to manually change that variable
06:42
<walter>
Great.
06:42
Did it-
06:43
It didn't change it ;)
06:43
Everything is supposed to work now?
06:43
<cyberorg>
walter, boot up on of the clients to find out :)

06:52
<walter>
cyberorg, Another problem, while we're at it.
06:52
<zamba>
i guess i have to install cups or something on the server?
06:52
this should be a network printer
06:52
<walter>
cyberorg, Client dvd's aren't mounted at all. Need I specify anything in lts.conf?
06:52
<cyberorg>
walter, nope, they should just work, lts.conf has LOCALDEV=true by default
06:53
<walter>
cyberorg, They ain't working thoguh .)
06:53
:(
06:53
<cyberorg>
walter, and usb stick?
06:53
<walter>
cyberorg, Didn't try.
06:53
cyberorg, local hd's aren't mounted as well though.
06:54
<cyberorg>
local hd are disabled
06:54
<zamba>
all i can find online is about setting up locally attached printers
06:55
<cyberorg>
walter, try usb and cdrom with new client that just booted
06:55
zamba, printer configured on the server will be available to the client
06:55
<walter>
cyberorg, Awright, gimme a moment.

07:25gate_keeper__ has quit IRC
07:26
<cyberorg>
zamba, when you log in to the client you are really logged into server, so it will use printer that is available on the server whichever way it is configured
07:26
<ogra>
not in kiosk mode
07:27
kiosk mode runs firefox locally as fullscreen app on the client ... its all installed in the image
07:27
<cyberorg>
oh, sorry then no idea how that printing would work :)
07:27
<ogra>
i think its possible to make the printer available as network printer via IPP on the server ... then you should be able to see it from the FF rint dialog
07:28
but i never have tried that
07:28
<zamba>
ah, ok
07:29
<ogra>
another (pretty evil) option would be to install the jetpipe script on the server and make the printer available via HP jetdirect to the network ... and then connect the client to it

09:23
Nubae: I have no idea what an XS is
09:23
<Nubae>
we have a pilot project here with a bunch of xos, but want to give ltsp functionality too
09:24
the XS server is the server that allows the xos to communicate together, built on top of fedora 9
09:24
I guess I'll just give it a go
09:24
<warren>
I have absolutely zero experience with XO or XS
09:25
<Nubae>
its really just a set of scripts inside sysconfig for networking, dns, ejabberd, moodle and dansguardian
09:25
<warren>
I think eharrison has experience doing fiber
09:25
<Nubae>
oh and squid... though ejabberd is the heart of it... allows more than 32 (the limit with meshes) laptops to work together

09:37

yagi antennas FTW
09:37
<jammcq>
hmm, that might be a nice solution
09:37
<warren>
are yagi common and easy to buy?
09:37
<ogra>
you can build them with a pringles can
09:38
but you can also buy them ... indeed
09:38
<warren>
should we do this with WDS?
09:38
then it would be like $120 of hardware
09:38* ogra would donate some bucks for that
09:39
<ogra>
but http://www.3nw.com/pda/wireless/wi_fi_pringles_can_yagi_antenna.htm
09:39
<jammcq>
I told the guy that if meant buying a new access point, that we could prolly help out with the cost
09:39
<warren>
well the motel guy might pay for it
09:39
oh
09:39
<jammcq>
I'd be willing to throw in a bit
09:39
<ogra>
Parts list: ... Total: $6.45
09:40
<jammcq>
once again, he's holding the place open for us, past when he'd normally close it for the winter
09:40
<warren>
one trouble with a directional antenna is you need a dedicated AP on both sides
09:40
meaning four AP's
09:41
one for the office, one to beam across the lot, another to receive across the lot, another to serve the conf
09:41
Unfortunately the distance between the two is just beyond the reliable reach of non-directional
09:41
<ogra>
well, you can buy a repeater wih two inerfaces and use one of them with the yagi, one as general AP
09:41
<jammcq>
well, really only 3 are needed.
09:42
<warren>
what is a repeater with two interfaces?
09:42
<ogra>
there are linksys APs with two interfaces ...
09:42
<warren>
ogra: they don't work that way
09:42
<ogra>
run one in AP mode and link it to a standard AP in the office with the yagi
09:43
<warren>
ogra: there are two only for diversity
09:43
they can't do two separate
09:43

i had such a thing from lucent ...
09:43
but that was last century
09:44

perhaps that lucent box could do it
09:44
but linksys can't
09:44
it is only capable of diversity mode (default) or you can turn it off
09:44
tagging ltsp-trunk
09:48

10:09* ogra sighs about libclutter
10:09
<vagrantc>
sounds messy by design
10:10
<ogra>
heh, yeah
10:10
its a GTK GL lib that many of our mobile desktop apps use
10:10
i'm just porting the netbook-remix to a sane community image for eeePC and friends
10:11
but libclutter in the remix is 0.6 and apparently nearly everything changed to version 0.8
10:12
well, more for MID devices than eeePC ... but you will be able to run it on eee ATOM as well
10:13* vagrantc wonders where to register branches in launchpad
10:14
<ogra>
under your own account ?
10:14
<vagrantc>
yeah
10:14
<ogra>
or for ltsp-upstream
10:14
click the code tab
10:14
<vagrantc>
i just figured i'd mirror my *-experimental-packaging branches
10:14
<ogra>
there is a huge orange button at the right
10:15
labelled "register a branch" :)
10:15
<vagrantc>
no huge orange button in this interface
10:15
<ogra>
are you logged in ?
10:15
<vagrantc>
how can i tell?
10:15
<ogra>
top right
10:15
either states your name or says "log in"
10:16
<vagrantc>
ah, seems to be time for a password reset.
10:17
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: Yeah, looks to be roughly the same thing as my patch.
10:17
<vagrantc>
weird. depending on where i login to launchpad, it doesn't like my password. must have different passwords cached for different URLs.
10:18
<ogra>
it uses openid ... shouldnt happen
10:18
vagrantc, do you use edge.lp.net ? or lp.net
10:18
<vagrantc>
well, if i try to login from code.launchpad.net, it gives me a failed login. if i try from launchpad.net, it works.
10:19
ogra: plain ol lp.net
10:19
<ogra>
weird ...
10:19
its the same server
10:19
and the same auth backend
10:19
<sbalneav>
ogra: So, I just chatted with tkampetter about that cups bug I fixed upstream. So I don't screw things up again, what should I file a bug against in cups?
10:20
<ogra>
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+filebug
10:20
i'm not sure cups uses lp as upstream tool (yet)
10:21
the first thing after https://bugs.launchpad.net/ is always the upstream project ... for ubuntu packages that indeed needs to be ubuntu

but I also said I wouldn't work on it until late October

well, most of it already works today, but we don't have convenient tools or docs
10:43

drbl is great, but it would seem sorta silly to put 2 different ways to do the same thing together

11:08
Nubae: pretty much: apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone && ltsp-build-client
11:08
with a few additional tweaks here and there.
11:08
<Nubae>
vagrantc: I suppose you don't have a downloadable iso for the ltsp version of debian...?
11:09
well, instructions are real similar to ltsp on top of ubuntu from what I can see
11:09
<vagrantc>
they are real similar
11:10
major difference is that ubuntu defaults to using NBD+squashfs+unionfs/aufs and debian defaults to using NFS
11:10
<Nubae>
oh... really, how come?
11:10

11:12

is it still true that backports is needed?

skolelinux was actually the very first distro to use ltsp5 (predating ubuntu by about 2 weeks)
11:30
<Nubae>
hmmm... how about that
11:30
<vagrantc>
although, the implementation sucked :)
11:30
but ubuntu's wasn't much better
11:32
<Q-FUNK>
right. the one we tested the thincan with at linuxtag was sarge or etch-base
11:34
<Nubae>
but most people seem to be running debian edu, which is sarge based
11:34
and ltsp 5 or 4.2?

I live in Spain, normally, down south... I'd love to get involved in anything like that

where can i find cheap but powerful, fully supported, plug&play thin clients?

We are using VMware ESX and likely to use VDI, actually..
13:47
So everyone literally does have their own machine.. albeit virtual.
13:47
and its failover redundant.
13:47
<Q-FUNK>
ok
13:47
nice
13:47
<wwx>
master_, you can buy directly from revnetek guys too i think...
13:47
<master_>
thanks..
13:48
<Q-FUNK>
yeah, we only sell PXE boxes at artec.
13:49
there's talks of us taking over distribution of boxes with the revnetek OS images too, since they have reoriented their business models away from hardware sales, but nothing concrete yet.
13:49
<wwx>
btw, afaik they have even all (or most) sources in cvs
13:50
<Q-FUNK>
at least they used to
13:50
online
13:50
haven't checked in a while
13:51
<wwx>
master_, check this too: http://www.smartlinkgroup.com/images/stories/tc/DBE61manual1lkblank.pdf
14:07
<Q-FUNK>
all this talk about raclette makes me wonder if there's any good cheese at the Prisma that I could grab to cook my own here?
14:12
<vagrantc>
ok, so should i just go ahead with the xrexec -> localapp renaming ?
14:12
i'd also want to change /var/cache/ldm to /var/cache/localapp

<Gadi>
vagrantc: not to nitpick, but could we do "localapps"
14:42
so it is consistent with the lts.conf var
14:43
<warren>
Gadi: what did he pick instead?
14:43
Gadi: I want to get a patch that sets ALSA volume in
14:43
Gadi: could you please post what you use?
14:43
<Gadi>
(03:12:39 PM) vagrantc: i'd also want to change /var/cache/ldm to /var/cache/localapp
14:43
<warren>
I'm OK with a consistent plural
14:44* Gadi wonders if it would not be wise to preface such dirs with ltsp-, too (in case there is an app someday named "localapps"
14:44
<warren>
I wouldn't worry about that specifically.
14:44
<Nubae>
but then everything should have that prefix, no?
14:45
<warren>
Gadi: I would really like to get something for ALSA volume setting in
14:45
Gadi: I could just write somethig but you mentioned you had something different
14:45
<Gadi>
well, usually /var/run/blah and /var/cache/blah are made by a package named "blah"
14:45
<Nubae>
right now volume is preset in some of the scripts right?
14:45
I remember seeing it was preset to 80%
14:45
<Gadi>
warren: I'll paste...
14:45
1 sec
14:46
<warren>
Nubae: preset to 74% here, but yes, preset, and you can't change it from pulseaudio
14:46randra has quit IRC
14:46
<Nubae>
so change for variable sounds like a good idea
14:47
<ltsppbot>
"Gadi" pasted "Some sound init stuff for warren" (16 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/62
14:47
<Nubae>
IMHO the preset is too low for things like youtube
14:48
<warren>
Gadi: hmm, you hit the ones I had in mind.
14:48
<Gadi>
:)
14:48
yeah, it works well for most things
14:48
<warren>
does unmute bring it to 100%?
14:48
mine are already not muted, but preset to 74%
14:48
<Gadi>
no
14:48GodFather has quit IRC
14:49
<Gadi>
unmute by itself just unmutes
14:49
<warren>
pulseaudio can't change them
14:49
so I need the presets higher
14:49
<Gadi>
right - so with this code, you could set: VOLUME=100
14:49
<warren>
VOLUME in your code only sets Master*
14:50
<vagrantc>
Gadi: ok, will make it all pluralized.
14:50
<warren>
while those others are independent on most chips
14:50
you need to raise both
14:50Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC
14:50
<vagrantc>
although localappsd is nearly as bad as ltspfsmounter
14:50
<Gadi>
it depends
14:50
its highly driver specific
14:50
<vagrantc>
at least it has a fair number of vowels.
14:50
<warren>
yes, but if you raise all it generally works.
14:51
vagrantc: you mean it shouldn't be ltspfsmntr?
14:51
<Gadi>
many times, if you raise PCM to high you saturate
14:51
<vagrantc>
warren: yes. that makes my primordial fear of vowels much happier.
14:51
makes it feel more true unix.
14:52
i've been mentioning unix's lack of vowels in my rudimentary commandline courses lately.
14:52
<Gadi>
any of you guys familiar with NAPI Tx/Rx polling in the kernel?
14:54Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp
14:54
<warren>
Gadi: I propose adding code like yours, except it sets to 95% by default if you didn't specify a value.
14:54
Gadi: is VOLUME too generic of a name?
14:55
ALSA_VOLUME?
14:55
<vagrantc>
Gadi: regarding prefixing everything with ltsp ... i've been slowly trying to nudge to use a sub-dir for everything ... i.e. /var/run/ltsp/foo /var/run/ltsp/bar ...
14:55
<Gadi>
warren: these values are from LTSP4
14:55
s/values/variables/
14:56
<warren>
they are?
14:56
<Gadi>
yup
14:56
<warren>
so LTSP5 later removed it?
14:56
<Gadi>
yup
14:56
sad, but true
14:56
your K12LTSP folks will be happy if you keep the vars
14:56
<warren>
ok, I'd like to go ahead with your code, except default to 95% on all values except 100% on Master* if not specified.
14:56
This isn't perfect, but nothing else.
14:56
err
14:57
<Gadi>
warren: should we set default values in ltsp_config?
14:57
<warren>
nothing is
14:57
hm
14:57
Gadi: I guess so.
14:57
what kind of script is this? when does it run?
14:57
<Gadi>
I have it run in init.d
14:57
this is part of an init.d script I should say
14:58
it should obviously run after the sound driver is loaded
14:58
<warren>
does init.d exist already upstream?
14:58
oh you mean /etc/rc.d/init.d?
14:59
<Gadi>
well, I know in ubuntu, there is ltsp-client-setup and ltsp-client-core
14:59
well, in Gutsy anyway
14:59
I haven't looked in intrepid
14:59
ah, yes, I meant /etc/init.d
14:59
sorry
15:00
<warren>
so this script isn't in Debian or Ubuntu?
15:00
<Gadi>
no
15:00
LTSP5 doesnt do this
15:00
it was one of the things that failed to be reimplemented from LTSP4
15:01
its something I do in my chroots

15:03The_Code has joined #ltsp
15:03
<warren>
this isn't a fully formed init.d script in syntax and structure
15:04
<vagrantc>
any problem with moving localapps into the top-level dir of ltsp-trunk ?
15:05
i.e. mv client/xrexec -> localapps/
15:10* vagrantc excercises the power of revision control
15:11
<warren>
just do it
15:11
<vagrantc>
indeed.
15:12
<Gadi>
warren: don't we have upstream init.d scripts?
15:12
<vagrantc>
pushed. now i'll test and see if it's broken :)
15:12
<Gadi>
to configure_sound, etc
15:12
<vagrantc>
after tweaking my packaging and such
15:12

put it wherever that is

22:24
<japerry>
Guevara: ask your question
22:24
but you may or may not get a response
22:24
<Guevara>
japerry: hi, how i install aplications on ltsp under ubuntu 8.04 ?
22:24
<johnny>
the same way you install any other application on ubuntu 8.04
22:25
<Guevara>
copy sources list on /etc/ltsp and?
22:25
<johnny>
sbalneav, sure.. BUT.. are rooms reserved already? deals made? or anything like that?
22:25
no
22:25
just the same was as any other applications that are not at all related to ltsp
22:26
<Guevara>
i install aplications on ubuntu on synaptic or apt-get install, but how install for clients?
22:26
<sbalneav>
johnny: Well, it's off season, and we know the fellow who runs it. At this point, we have the whole hotel (20 rooms) to ourselves :)
22:27
Guevara: Anything you install on the server via synaptic will also be available on the clients.
22:27
<johnny>
sbalneav, so.. i just fork over the money and reserve the room as stated?
22:27
on their site
22:27
<Guevara>
ok, and how i configure this for clients? do you know GUI for this?
22:28
<johnny>
you don't, they just work
22:28
<sbalneav>
johnny: Talk to jammcq tomorrow, but I think at this point a "yeah, I'll be there" is enough to reserve a room :)
22:28
Guevara: logging in from a thin client is almost exactly the same as logging in on the console
22:29
all the same applications will be there.
22:29
<Guevara>
sabayon and pessulus work together?
22:29
ok sbalneav
22:29
<johnny>
sabayon barely works
22:29
at all
22:29
<Guevara>
barely?
22:29
<johnny>
i fixed it up somewhat.. just don't have time or money to do it right
22:29
it has some nasty bugs
22:29
you can't edit top panel stuff
22:29
or any panel applets
22:29
<sbalneav>
sabayon needs some work. :)
22:30
<johnny>
sbalneav, yeah.. one day i might get back to it.. i'm just too broke to do it
22:30
<Guevara>
do you prefer sabayon or pessulus
22:30
?
22:30
<sbalneav>
I use neither
22:30
I just set up defaults manually using gconftool-2
22:31
<johnny>
Guevara, sabayon requires pessulus
22:31
for the locking down
22:31
<Guevara>
:)
22:31
do you know others GUI for Ubuntu?
22:31
<johnny>
GUI for what?
22:31
locking things down?
22:31
no
22:31
only for kde/kubuntu
22:31
haven't personally used it tho
22:32
so i have no idea if it works or works well
22:32
<Guevara>
for configuring clients video configurations
22:32
<johnny>
neither are for that
22:32
do that in lts.conf
22:32
<sbalneav>
Guevara: What kind of thin clients do you have?
22:32
<johnny>
uggh.. my ejabberd server == BROKEN :(
22:33
stupid thing
22:33
<Guevara>
ok, but if i get wrong configurations, can i run ltsp-update after reconfiguring lts.conf?
22:33
<johnny>
you don't have to run ltsp-update
22:33
<Guevara>
thinclients sbalneav, no have hard disks
22:33gregbrady has joined #ltsp
22:33
<johnny>
just edit the file /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/x86/lts.conf
22:33X0d_of_N0d has joined #ltsp
22:33
<Guevara>
why not johnny?
22:34
<johnny>
because it is unnecessary
22:34
<sbalneav>
Guevara: Yes, I assumed that, but how much ram, what kind of processor, what kind of video card, etc.
22:34
<johnny>
it gets it from the tftp server
22:35
<Guevara>
sbalneav: in the clients have a pcchips mother board, ethernet rtl8139
22:35X0d_of_N0d_ has quit IRC
22:35
<Guevara>
johnny: edit the file /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/x86/lts.conf on ubuntu?
22:35
<sbalneav>
Guevara: What processor speed and how much ram?
22:35
<johnny>
you need to know what values to put in there, a file called lts-parameters.txt to see the values you need.
22:36
<Guevara>
sbalneav: in the clients pentium II 350mhz
22:36
<sbalneav>
how much memory?
22:36
<Guevara>
64
22:37
<sbalneav>
That's not going to be enough
22:37
<Guevara>
olders machines
22:37
<sbalneav>
You'll want at least 128
22:37
<Guevara>
i know, but no have more ram
22:38kwak has joined #ltsp
22:38
<Guevara>
my objectiv is configuring the ambient of the clients
22:38
<johnny>
ambient?
22:38
<Guevara>
i try tomorrow whith sabayon and pessulus
22:39
<johnny>
huh?
22:39
neither of those will work to do that
22:39
<Guevara>
why?
22:39
<johnny>
because that is not part of the functionality they contain
22:40
<sbalneav>
With 64 megs of ram, you may have trouble getting them to boot
22:41
<Guevara>
the boot is ok, but login use bad resolution
22:41
under 800x600
22:41
the cursor of the mouse is very big
22:41
<johnny>
you would set that in lts.conf
22:41
X_MODE or something
22:42
<Guevara>
i set 800x600
22:42
driver vesa
22:42
look this http://twiki.softwarelivre.org/bin/view/PSLGO/RoteiroTerminalServer
22:43
johnny: i edit the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf: and run ltsp-update
22:43
<sbalneav>
Guevara: Ah, if you're going to run them at 800x600, you should be ok
22:43
<Guevara>
yes
22:43
<sbalneav>
Guevara: That's for old ltsp 4.1
22:43
<Guevara>
after edit the lts.conf and run ltsp-update i have black screen on the client
22:46
i have this error on ltsp-manager http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/futurewarning-apt-api-not-stable-yet-ltsp-manager-throws-an-error.-653726/
22:46

no, running on ubuntu desktop

Did you install ltsp-server-standalone? Or did you install the ltsp packages from skolelinux?
