any bash scripters that can help me out? I'm trying to get the internal server ip only and have a convoluted way of doing it, but wonder if there is a better way, as my script assumes the ip is always on eth1
02:42
<ltsppbot>
"Nubae" pasted "catch ip" (7 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/9

hello. i have an ibm netvista thin client here. it is an old thingy. the first problem with it is that it doesn't want to use pxe boot despite that i configure it's bios to do so. so it uses NFS. despite that i tell it not to do so. so i use nfs to give it the pxelinux.0 image and it fetches it and then it says that it is an unsupported file type... why?
03:34
<nubae1>
DawnLight: doesn't the pxe network card have its own configuration panel (usually shift+f10 or some such)
03:35
<DawnLight>
nubae1: i don't think so. this has a strange ibm configuration utility
03:36
<Q-FUNK>
howdy!
03:37
<DawnLight>
and it makes strange dhcp requests like 66 and 67 and two hundred or something
03:37
can you think of a reason?
03:38
i'll be back later

how to make upstart recognize a new file/program that need to start at boot? Is rebooting the whole machine the only way ?
07:37psycodad has quit IRC
07:39
<Q-FUNK>
ace_suares: it's suposed to be event-based, so there must be a way to launch it on the fly
07:41randra has joined #ltsp
07:43psycodad has joined #ltsp
07:44
<ogra>
that question would probably better be asked in #upstart :)
07:45
though if the package/file/whatever uses a dbus service that will require a reboot anyway

ok a quick question...
08:41
we are running LTSP under Debian Etch here at work. I have a user that has an issue that everytime he clicks on the K menu it freezes and if he does it again it crashes.

Morning all
08:51
<Warp4>
good morning
08:55psycodad has quit IRC
08:55Blinny has quit IRC
08:56
<DawnLight>
so how does this localdev stuff works in the ubuntu hardy version?
08:57moldy__ has quit IRC
08:57
<sbalneav>
DawnLight: Are you asking IF it works, or HOW it works?
08:57
<DawnLight>
i have LOCALDEV=y and kde doesn't give me any notice
08:58
i have LOCALDEV=y and kde doesn't give me any notice
08:58
<sbalneav>
KDE won't pop anything up on the desktop
08:58
<DawnLight>
oh no
08:58
<sbalneav>
You'll need to look on /media/<user>
08:58
<DawnLight>
hmm
08:58
<sbalneav>
the mount will be there.
08:58
<DawnLight>
ahuh
08:58
<sbalneav>
Also, have you added the user to the "fuse" group?
08:58
<DawnLight>
yes
08:59
<sbalneav>
ok
08:59
<DawnLight>
so does the mounting happen in the server?
08:59
<nubae>
when installing packages for a plugin (under /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/) I have some unsigned packages... I know I can use --accept-unsigned-packages but I'd like not to have to do that...
08:59
<DawnLight>
ah, i see. there is a fuse.ltspfs mount in the server
09:00
<nubae>
doh, guess I can look at the accept-unsigned-packages and use that code :-/
09:01
<DawnLight>
i can't see my files on the usb
09:01
is it soppused to be mounted on the client?
09:01
because it isn't
09:02
<sbalneav>
DawnLight: It's mounted on the server.
09:02
It will only mount on the client when it's being used
09:02
after 2 seconds of inactivity, it umounts
09:02
on the client
09:04
<DawnLight>
but...
09:04
what does "used" mean?
09:05
<Warp4>
we are running LTSP under Debian Etch here at work. I have a user that has an issue that everytime he clicks on the K menu it freezes and if he does it again it crashes.
09:05
<DawnLight>
i go in /media/dawn/usbdisk-sda2 and do ls and nothing
09:05
<sbalneav>
DawnLight: Looking at it, copying to it, reading from it
09:05
<DawnLight>
2 seconds? not 2 minutes?
09:10
so anyway... it doesn't work...
09:10
<_UsUrPeR_>
warp4: this is a single client?
09:10
<Warp4>
yeah just one user
09:11
<_UsUrPeR_>
when you say "user" do you mean a single username, or a single client?
09:11
<Warp4>
a single username
09:11
no matter what workstation he logs on to, the same thing happens
09:12
<_UsUrPeR_>
ahh
09:12
hmm
09:12
that's a quandry for sure. Have you attempted to remove and re-add his account?
09:13psycodad has joined #ltsp
09:13
<Warp4>
well id do that, but we use an LDAP backend for authentication
09:13
which also handles our dialup and email accounts
09:15
<_UsUrPeR_>
ugh. That's my best advise, man. Sorry.

I suppose --accept-unsigned-packages overrides whatever u define for $APT_GET_OPTS
10:30Egyptian[Home1 has quit IRC
10:31
<nubae>
even if I hardcode --force-yes, ltsp-build-client still switches it off at install time

10:51mccann has joined #ltsp
11:00
<nubae>
so can someone help me... I'm trying to add an extra repo during ltsp-build-client build time, but not sure where I can do that, there must be a better way than doing echo "repo" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
11:01
<vagrantc>
"ltsp-build-client --extra-help" should mention several commandline arguments...
11:02CAN-o-SPAM has quit IRC
11:03
<nubae>
yeah but nothing about extra repos
11:05
<Warp4>
ok another question...
11:07
<vagrantc>
nubae: no --extra-mirror option?
11:07rafaelmf has quit IRC
11:08elisboa has joined #ltsp
11:11pimpministerp has joined #ltsp
11:12
<nubae>
vagrantc: that might work, what I'm trying to do is get medibuntu (media repo with googleearth etc) to be included for a particular plugin
11:12
but requires signing too
11:12
<vagrantc>
nubae: well, use the other *mirror plugins as a base for a new plugin
11:13
<nubae>
might be easier just to include the code in the main plugin
11:13
<vagrantc>
nubae: and i added a plugin on debian which will use whatever apt keyring your server uses to the client by default
11:13
<nubae>
--copy-sources-list?
11:13
<vagrantc>
no
11:13
it's not a commandline option, just a plugin. don't think ogra has pulled it into ubuntu yet, if that's what you're using.
11:14
<ogra>
--copy-sources-list?
11:14
it comes from ubuntu
11:14
<nubae>
well the ltsp source has all the plugins, debians as well
11:14rafaelmf has joined #ltsp
11:14
<nubae>
maybe u mean --apt-keys
11:15
<vagrantc>
just because it has the plugins, doesn't mean it uses them.
11:15
<ogra>
it doesnt
11:15
<nubae>
yeah but I can use the code :-)
11:15
look at and use
11:15
<ogra>
it uses the Ubuntu plugins indeed, not the debian ones
11:15
<vagrantc>
simple symlinking should do.
11:15
<ogra>
right
11:15
<vagrantc>
unless there's some incompatibility ...
11:15
<nubae>
ogra, is it too late to include a --fatclient plugin in intrepid?
11:15
I've got it finished now
11:16
<ogra>
nubae, its not to late but i wont have time
11:16* ogra doesnt even have the time to chat here
11:16
<nubae>
ok :-)
11:16
<ogra>
beta is on thursday
11:16
<nubae>
ok, I'll bother u after
11:16
<ogra>
i'll be lucky if i find some hours to even fix the worst ltsp things before that
11:17
and after only massively critical bugs get fixed
11:17
ltsp in intrepid will likely suck and i have to find someone to take care for it in jaunty
11:17
my time is way to limited
11:18
but stgraber already expressed some interest ... if debian wouldt always be so behind on stuff we could just use their packages :/
11:18
<nubae>
so far the alpha 6 is ok... been using it for a while... just needed the usb fix...
11:18
which has already been posted... so I have no problems with it
11:18
<ogra>
but it would break heavily in intrepid if i pulled just the lenny packages
11:18
i.e. no input at all etc
11:19
<nubae>
hmmm
11:19
<ogra>
yeah, filed bugs should still get some attention from my side
11:19
even after beta
11:19
but currently ubuntu-mobile keeps me massively busy
11:19
and jaunty will be worse
11:19
<nubae>
well, I'm learning more and more, hopefully I can help out in the future
11:20* ogra didnt expect to drown in 100s of mails a day after he released ubuntu-mobile
11:20
<nubae>
that popular eh?
11:20
<ogra>
that would be best, getting a developer team together on ubuntu side
11:20
yeah, sadly
11:21
if i would have been able to predict that i would have released it a month earlier ... it was only supposed to show off some stuff we plan for jaunty ... but 100s of people use it
11:21
<nubae>
I've been asked to put sugar onto ltsp... so that will be more learning experience, except the sugar packages are like 6 months behind on ubuntu
11:21
<ogra>
http://www.umpcportal.com/2008/09/ubuntu-mobile-edition-news-and-first-boot-video/
11:21
yeah, jani didnt do many uploads of sugar after getting it in basically
11:22
<nubae>
does he want someone else to take over packaging do u know?
11:22gbolte has joined #ltsp
11:22
<ogra>
no idea
11:22

11:23
<nubae>
well on launchpad there is a new sugar group set up 3 weeks ago
11:23
not sure the relation to jani
11:23jbrett has joined #ltsp

but I'll mail him
11:24cliebow has joined #ltsp
11:24
<nubae>
just one quick question... if I set up a cron job to copy across just non system users to the chroot daily, is there a security issue there?
11:25
<ogra>
ah, i remember your paste ...
11:25
make sure to start at UID 1000
11:26
<nubae>
ok, Fedora starts at 500...
11:26
its the simplest solution I could come up with and it works great, but wonder about security
11:26
<ogra>
ah, i didnt know you implement that on fedora
11:26
its surey not massively secure
11:26
<nubae>
well, I'm trying to keep it open, but the ubuntu one will start at 1000
11:26
<ogra>
but i its only in your own network you can indeed close it down, put ssh keys in place etc

maybe its just me... the one guy with his hand pointing up seems to be the official logo on the site, so maybe its always been like that, but I just noticed it on the top menu too, and my older edubuntu install doesnt have that
11:58
<ogra>
well, it was always like that
11:59
i replace distributor-logo.png in edubuntu-artwork since day one
11:59Warp4 has quit IRC

Is there any word on nbdrootd procs being left behind? I've been told before it doesn't affect stability/performance but was wondering if there is a way to clean them up (besides obviously rebooting).
12:20
gnome-watchdog doesn't help as it only deletes procs owned by the user logging in, and nbdrootd runs as 'nobody'.

hi Lns
12:53
<Lns>
nubae: hey!
12:53
how's it going
12:54
<nubae>
yah not bad... just finished writing fat client plugin... working nicely...
12:56
<Lns>
nubae: nice. what does it do?
12:59
<nubae>
builds a fat client in the chroot instead of thin client
12:59
basically a netbooted workstation
13:00
<Lns>
nubae: ooh, *the* fat client plugin. =p
13:00
nubae: how is the performance?
13:00
compared to a TC
13:00
<nubae>
pretty damn nice... if u have the ram
13:01
<Lns>
nubae: how much would you say is required?
13:01
probably at least 256 i'd imagine, with gnome/firefox/etc
13:01
<nubae>
the main thing is, u can run video, audio, flash, blender, etc without any issues
13:01
yeah but it will even run on 128
13:01
<Lns>
nubae: how does authentication work?
13:01
<nubae>
I have a thincan here and it runs on that
13:01
I chose the simples path... copy non system users to the chroot with cron
13:02
<Lns>
ah
13:02
so does your fat client plugin use nbd or nfs?
13:02
<nubae>
nbd
13:02
<Lns>
nice
13:02
<nubae>
could work with nfs too, but this is faster
13:03
<Lns>
and all fat clients are still diskless?
13:03
<nubae>
only thing is had to figure out how to do the user synch between server and client... since nbd needs to be rebuilt every time user is put in
13:03
yep, but they can access local disks too
13:03
home is mounted over nfs
13:04
<Lns>
So even loading a hefty s/w like OOo is fairly quick?
13:04
wait...its all loaded in RAM isn't it if it's nbd?
13:04
the whole chroot
13:04
<nubae>
I'm running it right now on my test machine which is a 500mhz celeron with 500 mb ram
13:04
and its quite usable
13:05
<Lns>
oh nm
13:05
<nubae>
I'll send u the plugin if u want to take a look
13:05
<Lns>
its ok... i wish i had the time to test it out :)
13:05* Lns needs to take care of his 7 LTSP TC sites first
13:06
<nubae>
yeah... I hear ya... if u ever need any help with maintenance... I'm here :-)
13:06
got a lot of time on my hands right now
13:06
<Lns>
nubae: really
13:06
what do you mean by maintenance?
13:07
<nubae>
help with the servers... any kind
13:07
I know ltsp like the back of my hand now
13:07
<vagrantc>
Lns: you could either bind mount or unionfs mount /etc/group and /etc/passwd for the syncing ...
13:08
nubae: oops, that was to you ^^
13:08
<Lns>
vagrantc: oh wow you can mount single files w/unionfs?
13:08
<nubae>
thats the other option I was looking at... but looks complicated
13:08* Lns doesn't know much about nbd
13:09
<vagrantc>
nubae: well, you could have a cron job that copies those files to an NFS share... and have a cron job or other script that looks for updates to those files and merges them into the thin-client as it's running.
13:09
or use something other than NFS
13:10
<nubae>
merging how?
13:10
<vagrantc>
well, how do you do it now?
13:10
clearly you already have a way to handle it, no?
13:11
<nubae>
copy across non system users and rebuild image
13:11
its in a cron.daily script
13:11_UsUrPeR_ has joined #ltsp
13:11
<vagrantc>
so, instead of re-building the whole image, copy the files somewhere the thin-clients can get at, and if they're updated, copy them into place on the thin-client
13:11
<Lns>
Obviously something like LDAP would be a more elegant solution, although a whole other ball of wax
13:11
<vagrantc>
indeed
13:12
simpler in some ways, more complicated in others.
13:12CAN-o-SPAM has joined #ltsp
13:12
<nubae>
yeah thats possible, but then I have to make sure the server and client are installed and all the config files, its much more complex
13:12
<ogra>
rsync through ssh would be an elegant solution
13:12* ogra always fails to see whats elegant about ldap
13:12
<Lns>
vagrantc: definitely... but you know, LDAP seems to fit well with LTSP in many viewpoints
13:12
<vagrantc>
nubae: if you're already mounting /home over nfs, you could copy /etc/group and /etc/passwd there...
13:13* ogra always thinks about ldap as a sucks least solution, but the wrod elegant would never cdome to his mind
13:13
<nubae>
how do I get the thin client then to read it there?
13:13
<vagrantc>
nubae: cron job on the thin client/
13:13
?
13:13
<nubae>
ok, so cronjob that copies from nfs mount to local?
13:14
<Lns>
ogra: well IMHO, LDAP is a much more stable solution than having "copies" of user/group data in different places that can get out of sync
13:14
<vagrantc>
nubae: right
13:14
nubae: or play with bind-mounting them...
13:14
<nubae>
hmmm... yeah I'll look at that, but I think the other solution I can implement right away...
13:14
I'll keep bind mounting for version 2
13:15
:-)
13:15
ok... going to eat bbl
13:15* ogra thought that was v2 :)
13:15
<ogra>
didnt you start that in gutsy ?
13:15
<nubae>
yeah but this is one that is publicly usable
13:15
the other one needed lots of manual tweaks
13:15
this needs none, it just wokrs
13:15
works even
13:17
<Lns>
ogra / vagrantc: can I pick your brain for a sec re: nbdrootd procs being left behind? Is there any way to clean them up nicely?
13:17
<ogra>
well, lets look if we can pull it into the extra-plugins stuff in the ubuntu package so you can get some feedback
13:17
Lns, tcpd should care

13:18
<Lns>
ogra: what is the keepalive time? I'm sure it's not long, all of my hardy servers have stale nbdroot procs owned by 'nobody'
13:18
<ogra>
might be 10h, i forgot

<Lns>
oh wow
13:18
<ogra>
probably vagrantc still remembers
13:18
we once looked that up
13:19
<Lns>
i doubt there's an lts.conf/other option to change that, eh?
13:19
<Gadi>
2h
13:19
<Lns>
Gadi!
13:19
<Gadi>
lns!
13:19
<Lns>
hmm.
13:19
=p
13:19
<Gadi>
you can adjust keepalive time in procfs
13:19
<ogra>
no, its a server side setting
13:20
nothing to adjust n lts.conf
13:20
<Lns>
ogra: oh yeah, duh.
13:20
Gadi: any reason why it can't be shorter of a time? I'm assuming keepalive is so that if network connectivity is lost it doesn't have to respawn.. ?

<ogra>
ask tcpd upstream ?
13:21
<Gadi>
no - keepalive sends messages to the client and kills the daemon if the client does not respond after that time
13:22
depending upon the daemon you are having tcpd monitor, you may want long or short times
13:22
I think 2h is a compromise
13:22
<ogra>
i really think its much longer
13:22
<Lns>
Gadi: ok, so what if the client reboots? does it use a specific socket for that proc? in other words, if the client reboots and spawns a new nbdrootd process, will the old one timeout?
13:22
<Gadi>
also depending upon the network
13:23
the old one should time out, I think

it's weird..I have 3 logged in users on one server w/72 nbdrootd procs running
13:24
in a 35 TC lab
13:24
<Gadi>
well, are all thin clients on?
13:24
users don't matter
13:24
(I love saying that)
13:24
<Lns>
lol
13:24
thats true. i'm sure the TCs are on, yes
13:24
<Gadi>
nbd is about workstations that are on
13:24
irregardless of users
13:24
<ogra>
so each uses one nbdswap and one nbdrootd
13:24
<Lns>
right...but why have twice as may procs as TCs?
13:25
<ogra>
in case you have swap enabled
13:25
<Lns>
ogra: i grepped 'nbdrootd' specificaly
13:26
ok I think i get it more now... definitely, if the stations are on nbdrootd will be active (users don't matter!).. maybe the old procs were just because of a whole lab reboot recently.
13:26
All other sites have 30-40 nbdrootd's running, which is normal i'm sure.
13:28
<Gadi>
Lns: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time

Gadi: ty!
13:29
Gadi: 7200
13:29
<Gadi>
in other words, you can adjust with /etc/sysctl.conf, if you like
13:29
7200 = 120 * 60 seconds = 2 hours
13:30
<Lns>
Gadi: cool. wasn't sure the units
13:31* Lns loves his "district-wide script for running commands automatically" script
13:31
<Lns>
7200 at all sites.
13:31
So, ok, it's a non-issue I guess. :) Thanks for the clarification all

stgraber: curious if for the password loop we couldn't do "while ! passwd root ; do ..." instead of set +e passwd root ... while $? = 0 ... passwd root ...
14:28
stgraber: the PULSE_SERVER thing should probably only happen if SOUND=True ... which i think should be available in the script. and then you'll need boolean_is_true from ltsp-common-functions (or wherever it is)...
14:31
stgraber: and it might be good practice to validate the sudoers file with visudo -c -f /etc/sudoers and revert if problems arise...
14:33
stgraber: i'd actually do things like adding ltsp-cluster-client to EARLY_PACKAGES or LATE_PACKAGES rather than installing directly... and using the mirror related functions to add that stuff
14:33
stgraber: but if ogra finds it acceptible as is, i don't see any reason not to merge it.
14:34
<ogra>
i agree with your comments, and beyond that trust your judgement :)
14:34
if you want it usable on debian you should also make sure the package depends on sudo
14:35
<Gadi>
if aplugin installs other ltsp-related packages, shouldn't we review the code there, too?
14:35
before merging it into upstream
14:36
<warren>
Gadi: vagrantc: ogra: i have to tag things later today or early tomorrow
14:36
get stuff in
14:37

feel free

warren: !!!
14:37
<ogra>
i'm in beta freeze
14:37
<warren>
ogra: did you folks disable the e1000e driver for the beta?
14:37
<ogra>
and dont do much work on ltsp anyway (no time for that, mobile is to groundbraking )
14:37
<warren>
ogra: pretty nasty!
14:37
destroying hardware and all that
14:37
<ogra>
warren, yes
14:37
but i think there was a recent fix
14:38
so it might be enabled by the actual beta release
14:38
yeah
14:38
<warren>
ogra: not according to my read upstream...
14:38nubae has joined #ltsp

<warren>
ogra: there isn't a fix yet, only patches to help identify what is causing it
14:39
<ogra>
ah, right, i mixed that up with a fix to e1000
14:39
e1000e is still broken
14:39
<warren>
very
14:40
<ogra>
the mean thing is that tesing can get really expensive if you work on that bug
14:40
<warren>
yes, which is why everyone is deferring to Intel
14:40
everyone is disabling the driver for now
14:40
<Q-FUNK>
hm
14:40
<warren>
pretty bad given all intel hardware for almost 2 years needs e1000e
14:40
<ogra>
who are not the fastes to do fixes by own experience
14:40
<warren>
my older ICH7 hardware uses e1000e but isn't effected by the problem
14:41
<Q-FUNK>
given the break on e1000, I wouldn't be surprised if a similar fuck up in the kernel is what prevents the deb60 from working
14:41
<warren>
Q-FUNK: don't make assumptions
14:41
<ogra>
and e1000 is fine :)
14:41
<warren>
Q-FUNK: e1000e seems to be a stupid design decision in the ICH8 and ICH9 hardware
14:41
<ogra>
e1000e isnt
14:41
<warren>
ogra: e1000e on pre-ICH8 is fine
14:41* ogra kicks hal
14:41
<Q-FUNK>
ditto for recent changes in the wifi driver
14:42
<ogra>
evil thing
14:42
<warren>
Q-FUNK: there were other big changes in 2.6.26+ that might be of concern
14:42
<Q-FUNK>
yup
14:42
and many of those came from intel
14:42
<warren>
Linus forced people to rip out an entire part of the VM for example, because it was ugly. It made performance really bad.
