IRC chat logs for #ltsp on irc.libera.chat (webchat)


Channel log from 13 November 2008   (all times are UTC)

00:03* Ryan52 marks pages of these stupid dfsg debian threads as read and sighs a sigh of relief
00:07* vagrantc pushes ltsp-trunk and ldm-trunk
00:10
<vagrantc>
xinitrc.d that's backwards compatible, and about 1/5th the code.
00:11
well, the xinitrc.d isn't backwards compatible, but it doesn't break if it's missing
00:11
<johnny>
lol..
00:12
Ryan52, what was that like?
00:17
<sbalneav>
Ryan52: OK, gimme a couple of seconds to pull/merge/push
00:18
it detects the ssh going away now due to bad password.
00:20* johnny attacks sbalneav
00:20
<johnny>
good going gent
00:20
dberkholz, btw.. genkernel is going to have funionfs-fuse
00:20
now i just need to get that silly boy to include a network module config for us
00:20
then we might be able to actually make a release!
00:22
<sbalneav>
johnny: Why attack me?
00:22
Ryan52: pushed.
00:22
<vagrantc>
what was the change in ltsp that required a new ldm ?
00:22
<johnny>
sbalneav, you rock.. :)
00:23alkisg has quit IRC
00:23
<vagrantc>
tried old ldm with newish ltsp, and no screen came up
00:24
ah yes, the DISP -> DISP
00:24
ah yes, the DISP -> DISPLAY change
00:25
<dberkholz>
johnny: good deal.
00:25
<sbalneav>
Well, I'm fairly happy with this.
00:25
<dberkholz>
johnny: gotta find somewhere to put ISOs too. i could probably just get 'em on the gentoo bittorrent tracker, but it would be nice to have something http/ftp
00:25
<johnny>
isos ?
00:29
<sbalneav>
OK
00:29
<johnny>
gentoo needs a new release with the new portage stable..
00:29
that'll solve most of the problems
00:29
<sbalneav>
That's enough coding out of me tonight.
00:29
I'm off to bed. Night all.
00:29
<johnny>
yeah.. that's enough lacck of sleep for me too
00:29
dberkholz, it's 1:38.. i gotta hit the sack
00:30
<Ryan52>
sbalneav, thanks for fixing that!
00:31
<vagrantc>
would folks object if i added a DISP="$DISPLAY" to screen-x-common upstream, or should i just patch debian packages only?
00:32* Ryan52 wonders why anybody would care
00:33
<vagrantc>
well, they cared enough to change it at all, and there seems to be a backlash against backwards compatibility.
00:33
sbalneav: you're burning it up with ldm!
01:04
anyone know about ltsp-trunk/localapps/iptables.sh ?
01:04
what's it doing there?
01:09
<Ryan52>
if I were guessing, I would say that the thin clients need to access the internet if you run firefox as a localapp
01:09
and this is intended for people who have 2 interfaces on their ltsp server: internet and local network.
01:09
makes sense to me.
01:11
<vagrantc>
ah, sure.

<ogra>
http://www.arm.com/news/23761.html
08:59
yay for beagleboard thin clients :)
08:59* sbalneav punches ogra's arm
08:59
<sbalneav>
PunchBuggy Blue!
08:59
<ogra>
ouch :)
08:59
<sbalneav>
No Returns
08:59
Do they play punchbuggy in Germany?
08:59
Probably not, I'd expect/
09:00
<ogra>
very likely called differently :)
09:00
<sbalneav>
Know what it is?
09:00
<ogra>
nope
09:01
<sbalneav>
Every time you see a Volkswagon Beetle, you scream "PunchBuggy <colour of the VW you see>" and punch the other persons arm.
09:01
Stupid game kids play.
09:02* sbalneav wonders how you'd translate "punchbuggy" in German.
09:02
<ogra>
we dont, but we have that game, yes :)
09:03
we just say "<color> beetle !" *punch*
09:03
well, we dont say beetle here, but thats literally ho it translates :)
09:05bjs_redhat has joined #ltsp
09:07
<sbalneav>
What do you say? Just "Volkswagen"? Gimme the actual German word! Enquiring minds want to know.

09:10
<warren>
I have a LTSP sweatshirt
09:10
<Guevara>
I want to enable the usb thinclients
09:10* ogra has several
09:10
<Guevara>
I installed a PCI card in thinclient
09:11
<ogra>
you wuld have to be careful to not stumble over the ethernet cable all the time
09:11
<warren>
my internet is delivered through a lead tube
09:11Guevara has left #ltsp

<Q-FUNK>
I want to enable hotpluggable estonian chick devices.
09:13
<warren>
...?
09:13
<sbalneav>
I hear the Internet isn't a dumptruck, but rather, a series of tubes.
09:13
Warren's method of getting the internet confirms this.
09:13
<warren>
sbalneav: do you have foreign policy experience dealing with Alaska?
09:14
<johnny>
he can see alaska from his house
09:14
<ogra>
john mccain has :) ask him
09:14
<sbalneav>
Well, I can't see it from my doorstep, :)
09:14
But, I *HAVE* actually been there!

cat /proc/mounts | awk '$3 == "fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon" { print $2 }' | xargs -L 1 umount
09:36
If you want a nice little one liner that umounts gvfs mounts before you do a backup. :)
09:37
Hmmm, could be made shorter....
09:39
awk '$3 ~ /gvfs/ { print $2 }' /proc/mounts | xargs -L 1 umount
09:39
I love the xargs command.
09:40
Over the years, I've gotten more useful work done with a combo of awk and xargs than I have with just about any other tools.

well you should go visit them :-P
10:17
anyway, what was the message for relaying?

I don't have anything more concrete then that

<pscheie>
What exactly would break if one were to copy /opt/ltsp/i386 from an ltsp 5 installation to a 4.2 installation?
10:27
<johnny>
it wouldn't work unless you had the supporting packages on teh server side
10:27
ldminfo and friends
10:28
<pscheie>
oh, right, I forgot all about ldm; duh
10:29
<johnny>
and the ltsp-server package
10:30
that'll fix it up
10:30
then it wouldn't be 4.2 anymore..
10:30
but at that point.. you should really just build your chroot
10:31
<pscheie>
right, getting the 4.2 to a point where it would support the 5 chroot is probably more work than just starting over with 5

if i go down to the store, i will
10:59
think you can move the installted packages into a set of variables at the top?
11:00
would make it easier to customize
11:00
<vagrantc>
warren: you'll need to add ltsp-trunk/ltsp-common-functions to your ltsp-server package
11:01
i made that change last night to strip the debian-isms out of gadi's xinitrc.d stuff
11:01
we already had a function in the server/plugins
11:01
<ogra>
gadi does debianisms ?

e2fs stuff is screwed out of stage3

warren: sounds like a good idea.
11:08
warren: the DIST: stuff has gone fairly well
11:08
<johnny>
so.. atm.. i'm keywording 2.2
11:08
<warren>
what DIST: stuff?
11:09
<vagrantc>
warren: Debian: blah blah, Fedora: blah blah
11:09
<warren>
except when people don't follow it
11:09
<vagrantc>
it's followed more often than not
11:09
<ogra>
do we have that often ?
11:09
<warren>
what often?
11:09
<ogra>
right, i would think the same
11:09
<warren>
how about:
11:10
PACKAGER: New common script foo/bar/something-common should be installed in /usr/share/ltsp/something-common in the server package.
11:10
PACKAGER tags should effect more than one distro, so you can begin the line with it?
11:10
<ogra>
PACKAGER wont tell you easily what distro its for
11:10
<warren>
that's OK
11:11
<ogra>
not for non ltsp folks looking at it
11:11
<warren>
Most PACKAGER entries effect everyone. a few don't, and I'll just ignore.
11:11* ogra really likes the distro prefix
11:11
<warren>
ogra: distro prefix comes when you do your own distro-specific changes
11:11
PACKAGER usually effects everyone
11:11
but doesn't need to
11:12
<vagrantc>
hmm...
11:12
<warren>
i'm fine reading a few that don't effect me
11:12
<ogra>
oh, you mean as addition
11:12
<warren>
yes
11:12
<vagrantc>
what about "Packaging: " ?
11:12
<ogra>
ah
11:12* ogra thought replacement
11:12
<vagrantc>
"Packaging change:"
11:12
<warren>
vagrantc: I like the bold because it grabs attention...
11:12
<vagrantc>
warren: hm.
11:12
<warren>
PACKAGING:
11:13
the distro tags are not bold, and that's fine
11:14
<alkisg>
nubae, in http://www.nubae.com/ltsp-linux-terminal-server-project-netbooted-fat-client-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-intrepid where you talk about nfs, should it be 'cat "/home 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)" >> /etc/exports' or *echo*?
11:14
<ogra>
tee :)
11:14
<warren>
vagrantc: I don't care what words... although I would prefer bold fort his
11:14
PACKAGING: Describe what packagers need to do here.
11:14
<ogra>
echo "/home 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)"|sudo tee -a /etc/exports
11:14
<warren>
OK?

11:15

warren: i'm not thrilled with the BOLD... but whatever. :)
11:15
warren: of course, i'm but one voice.
11:15* ogra would like it a bit shorter
11:15
<ogra>
PKG:
11:15
<warren>
that's fine with me
11:15
better hope a distro named PKG doesn't join
11:15
<ogra>
heh
11:16
we can change if they show up :)
11:16
<vagrantc>
PKG: works for me.
11:16
short enough that the bold doesn't hurt.
11:16
<ogra>
right
11:16
<warren>
OK, let's announce this.

though i have no hardware to test on.
12:11

12:12

LoVeLyPeRVeRT: as far as i know, you're the first tester for hppa :)

:)
12:12
<vagrantc>
you have hppa thin clients?
12:12
<LoVeLyPeRVeRT>
no, the client is i386 , i use ltsp but with i386 and it work
12:13
but i have this monster of hppa and i would use it
12:13
<ogra>
find a i386 machine to built the clent chroot
12:13
then copy it over
12:13
<vagrantc>
what ogra says
12:13

:) lol ok
12:13
i try
12:13

LoVeLyPeRVeRT: /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/README.Debian should explain it briefly
12:14* ogra looks forward to adding arm patches :)
12:14
<johnny>
if it's all binary, why does it need to be built on another machine?
12:14
<vagrantc>
ogra: you got any arm thin clients?
12:14
<johnny>
been meaning to ask this for awhile..
12:14
vagrantc, beagleboard :)
12:14
<vagrantc>
johnny: because the process depends on being able to chroot into it
12:14
<LoVeLyPeRVeRT>
thin client is i386 (pentium 2
12:14
<ogra>
vagrantc, http://www.mistralsolutions.com/business_divisons/omap_3evm.php
12:14
vagrantc, though thats not what i'd recommend as TC
12:14
<chrisinajar>
johnny: because binary is built different on the different archs, so the archs can't read the same binaries at all...

and with qemu its totally easy to build TC chroots
12:16
<vagrantc>
ogra: so it's there.
12:16
<ogra>
yeah
12:16
<vagrantc>
i've been playing with qemu-system-arm, but haven't had the best of luck ...
12:16
weird stalls and such
12:17
<LoVeLyPeRVeRT>
ok i read this It is possible to host multiple architectures on a single server, though
12:17
usually this requires building the client chroot on the same architecture, and
12:17
then copy the /opt/ltsp/ARCH directory onto the NFS server.
12:17
<vagrantc>
and i don't know how to netboot with qemu-system-arch
12:17
<LoVeLyPeRVeRT>
now i try
12:17
<chrisinajar>
LoVeLyPeRVeRT: that is indeed possible.
12:17

vagrantc, never tried that, but will
12:17

ogra: whee :)
12:18
<_UsUrPeR_>
has anyone seen my top hat and monocle? I threw them in the ring, went to the bathroom, and they're gone now...
12:19
<ogra>
johnny, half way through building the client the script chroots into the client root and does its stuff ... if the binar executable format doesnt match that breaks
12:19
<chrisinajar>
has anyone gotten an iMac PowerPC G5 to netboot before?
12:19
<vagrantc>
gotta head to work

note that gdm plays a sound that goes directly through alsa
12:36
fo ra11y reasons
12:36
*for a11y
12:37
pulse gets started with the user session after login
12:37
ubuntu is fully accessible, from CD boot on, these parts dont use pulse
12:38
<warren>
yeah, exacctly the same as us
12:38
<ogra>
i.e. CD bootoptions use festival directly
12:38
through alsa
12:39
<LoVeLyPeRVeRT>
can i build with ubuntu and then use with debian etch?
12:39

or something like that

LoVeLyPeRVeRT, i dont think anyone every tested that, but it might work

now i try and then i saw
12:39
<ogra>
though etch is *very* old
12:40
<LoVeLyPeRVeRT>
lenny is up now?
12:40

might be that a relatively recent ubuntu requires features the etch doesnt offer

well, only i386, amd64 and lpia are supported architectures for now (I guess arm will be too) but all packages build on all archs
12:52

pscheie: let's update the doc package
12:53

only difference is that we don't need the ports to be done building all packages to rebuild

<pscheie>
warren, ok
12:55
<Lns>
For a non-programmer like me, would it be sane to believe that the more architectures your packages support, the (generally) better quality the code is overall (since you have to conform to so many different archs) ? Or is that just a bad assumption? "Better quality code" meaning a very general sense in the term, relating to architecture-specific stability anyway
12:55
<warren>
pscheie: if you could update the text to better explain the "DEMO or INSTALL" part at the top, that would be good.
12:56
<pscheie>
warren, do you need it before the end of the weekend?
12:56
<warren>
pscheie: yes
12:56
pscheie: if you're time crunched, could you at least fix that one screenshot where the wrong thing is highlighted?
12:56
pscheie: I can fix the text
12:56
<pscheie>
yes, already did that
12:57
<warren>
could you send the updated image to the list?
12:57
any updated text as well
12:57
<stgraber>
Lns: it's usually true but that's mainly for the core system and core libraries, softwares themselves usually build correctly if they don't fail building on 64bit
12:58
Lns: usually the problem is things like kernel/grub/usplash/libc
12:58
<pscheie>
warren, yes, but I probably won't be able to get to it until tomorrow night; got an upgrade at work going on tonight
12:58

won't be home until late, and it's all on my laptop, from BTS

warren, regarding Patrice's comment that the section on adding a user should be in another doc or a link to the Fedora manual, I'm reluctant to change it because I was trying to make the document self-inclusive, although I see his point
13:02
but perhaps it should be changed (?)
13:02
<warren>
pscheie: that document needs to explain how to add a user, becuase you can't test it after setup without one
13:02
This is only a "quick start guide"
13:03
<pscheie>
warren, perhaps that would be a better name for it
13:03

just make sure the top of the document says explicitly, this is only a quick start guide

I've added a trap handler for cleanup to the ldm script. That way, cleanup of the appropriate files happens if things die or someone kills the ldm script

It also (nicely) makes the xinit the last line of the file.

It's kind of interesting, at the beginning of LTSP5, we had a huge amount of progress, but a lot of things either didn't work at all, or didn't work properly. We just kind of shovelled code at it, and kept banging on things.
15:18
<vagrantc>
well, ltsp 5.1.34 works fine with older LDM 2.0.6... newer LDM 2.0.18 needs some tweaks to work with older ltsp 5.1.10, but seems not too difficult.
15:18
though i haven't really worked out the inter-version compatibility just yet ...
15:19
<sbalneav>
I'm not sure if this is the tipping point or not, but it FEELS like we're moving into the middle phase: we're pretty much feature complete, and now we're beginning to polish
15:19
<vagrantc>
yeah, that's what i've been thinking
15:19* jammcq wonders what the end phase is
15:19
<vagrantc>
ltspfs has been there a while, yes.
15:19
yet
15:20
<sbalneav>
jammcq: World dominiation, of course.
15:20* vagrantc is a little confused with all the changes to jetpipe ...
15:20
<vagrantc>
seems like it just assumes it's a serial printer no matter what?
15:20
<sbalneav>
it still needs more cleanup
15:20
no, it shouldn't
15:20
but I haven't looked at it for a couple of days.
15:21
it needs better classing. It's a mashup right now.
15:21* vagrantc shakes head
15:21
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: well, the way it's called from ltsp-client-core looks like it assumes serial
15:21
<sbalneav>
I'll sit down in a day or so and clean it up nicely
15:21
<vagrantc>
unless it ignores the serial options
15:22
<sbalneav>
I didn't update client core so that must have been Gadi. I'll review later.
15:22
<vagrantc>
but it's definitely feeling better
15:25
<sbalneav>
yeah, with the exception of LocalApps, we're beginning to slow down on the "Argh! We need this feature! Darn it! Why doesn't this work!!", and now we're into the "hmm, how can we polish this a little and make it nicer"
15:25
<vagrantc>
right
15:25
of course, we had to do this right after debian stable froze :(
15:26
<sbalneav>
I think this tine next year, we'll look back and say BTS 2008 was were we started to become a mature product :)
15:26
Meh.
15:26
Debian's been around for a while
15:26
so have we :)
15:26
What's the rush? :)
15:26
<vagrantc>
i've managed to do a good job of keeping it backported during the whole of etch's release cycle, hopefully i'll be able to do the same with lenny
15:27
<sbalneav>
Besides, can't we just backport all of this?
15:27
right.
15:27
<vagrantc>
seems like warren at least is interested in backportability
15:27
sometimes there are changes that make backporting difficult
15:28* vagrantc hides a hidden agenda to port LTSP to FreeBSD
15:28
<vagrantc>
oops!
15:28
<sbalneav>
Well, stgraber and I "cleaned up" a few vars that in retrospect, maybe we shouldn't have, but it was done in the spirit of "Why don't we clean this up properly" as opposed to deliberate breakage.

15:29

15:29

I can't remember why we didn't just use DISPLAY right from the beginning
15:29
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: security by obscurity!
15:29
<Gadi>
but figured out how to auto-reconnect
15:30
which is useful
15:30
vagrantc: jetpipe will ignore serial options on non-serial printers
15:30
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: or requiring newer versions of glib that are hard to backport ... or something like that.
15:30
<jammcq>
vagrantc: do I need to remind you what the 'L' in LTSP stands for?
15:30
<vagrantc>
Gadi: ah, easy!
15:30
jammcq: oh, i know.
15:31
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: We're not using any fancy glib features, have you tried to reduce the "level" of glib in the depends?
15:31
<jammcq>
Gadi: you have a cellular modem?
15:33
<sbalneav>
I bet we could compile against an older version of glib.
15:34
when I was writing the configure.ac, what I usually do is just do the old "hmm, what version am I running on this box" routine.
15:34
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: i haven't even tried to backport it yet ... but it's an example of the sort of thing that people get tempted to do that can make backporting a pain.
15:35
<sbalneav>
but we're not using anything really other than the g_* string routines, hash and list, and primarily the *spawn routines.
15:35
and they've been around forever.
15:35
<vagrantc>
i haven't tried backporting the newest ldm to etch yet ... probably never will.
15:36
sbalneav: not specifically glib, but it could be some other library ... just as an example of backporting nightmares :)

Well, I can't see us using much more than glib, so if you run into something in the future that DOESN'T backport nicely, let me know, and we can use either older interfaces, or do the #ifdef GLIBVBLAH .. #elif GLIBVFOO #fi thing.

<Lns>
Re: Firefox 3.x /dev/random vs /dev/urandom usage fixed, PPA release for Hardy/Ibex/Jaunty to come - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/release-notes/nspr472.html
18:30
<vagrantc>
warren: it's only if you use the new ldm with older ltsp
18:30
warren: and even then, it's only one step towards compatibility ...
18:31
<warren>
k
18:31
<vagrantc>
2-3 recent things affect backwards compatibility with ldm/ltsp interactions: switching from DISP -> DISPLAY, putting the while loop in screen_session rather than each screen script, and calling using openvt
18:33
i've almost got it working by puttin a wrapper script in /etc/ltsp/screen.d/ldm that basically puts the real script in the while loop, and could probably handle the openvt stuff, too.
18:34
but the DISP/DISPLAY thing needed to be put in the main script, and since it's a one-liner, i figured i'd push upstream.
18:34
we're going to need a backported ldm for freegeek, and if possible, i don't want to have to backport ltsp* as well.
18:35
though i'll probably just end up doing that, too :)
18:35johnny has left #ltsp
18:39
<warren>
vagrantc: it looks like I will have to maintain ltsp latest against RHEL5 for ~5 years now
18:40
vagrantc: I intend on not backporting fixes but instead constantly testing the latest upstream on RHEL5 and add conditionals if necessary. Only if something REALLY BIG changes I might fork it off.
18:40
vagrantc: OTOH, we had discussed upstream branches in the past.
18:41
<vagrantc>
warren: i hope we can keep it simple enough that forking can be avoided.
18:41
<warren>
that is ideal, yes.
18:42
vagrantc: soon I also want to rearrange the directory structure upstream so it is more logical and less of a hodge-podge
18:42
vagrantc: all major distros will need to agree to the new proposed structure
18:42
<vagrantc>
it could surely use some cleanup, indeed.
18:44
<warren>
vagrantc: btw, does anyone use the upstream ldm theme?
18:44
vagrantc: it is unnecessarily huge in file size
18:44
<vagrantc>
warren: debian does
18:44
<warren>
my much nicer looking bg.png is 2.5KB while the upstream is almost 100KB
18:45
OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller size,
18:45
without losing any information. This program also converts external formats
18:45
(BMP, GIF, PNM and TIFF) to optimized PNG, and performs PNG integrity checks
18:45
and corrections.
18:45* warren tries this tool
18:45
<vagrantc>
i just whipped it together so there was something, if you want to improve it, by all means :)
18:45
<warren>
Output IDAT size = 90532 bytes (8668 bytes decrease)
18:45
Output file size = 90688 bytes (8812 bytes = 8.86% decrease)
18:45
not much
18:45
<stgraber>
vagrantc: no, it's only packaging change, we can't push two different tarballs with the same version number to LP
18:46
<vagrantc>
i felt like 104k was pretty good compared to the ubuntu bg.png ... which were something like 500k at the time
18:46
stgraber: i thought so, i just wanted to make sure :)
18:47
<warren>
I don't know how my artist did it
18:47
but she made a nicer gradient on blue in only 2.5KB
18:48* warren tries my bg.png with the rest of upstream's graphics
18:53staffencasa has quit IRC

<vagrantc>
warren: if you hand me your bg.png, i can try it out, too.
19:00

19:01
vagrantc: http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/bg.png
19:02
vagrantc: given that it looks better, and it is only 2.5KB, I say we replace the upstream bg.png.
19:02
<vagrantc>
well, if it still looks good for me, i'd say go ahead ...
19:02
let me try it first, though
19:02
<warren>
yeah, test it
19:02
it makes the yellow LTSP.org look less sickly
19:10
<vagrantc>
warren: well, i wouldn't say it looks hugely better, but it doesn't really look any worse, and it's a lot smaller.
19:10
so i'd say push it
19:10
<warren>
vagrantc: it looks amazingly better to me
19:10
ok
19:11
<vagrantc>
i guess i'm looking at a colordepth of 16
19:11* vagrantc tries 24
19:11
<warren>
it looks fine at 16 depth? I haven't tried that in a while

19:13

i'm checking it in
19:14
<vagrantc>
i liked the diagonal gradient better than the horizontal one, but whatever. :)
19:14
<warren>
this is horizontal?
19:15
<vagrantc>
it looks darker on the bottom than the top
19:15
<warren>
I thought this is diagonal, but so subtle you can barely tell
19:15
hmm, you might be right
19:16
<vagrantc>
that 104k bg.png was about my only attempt at art for a free software project
19:16
warren: what's the liscensing on it?
19:17
<warren>
vagrantc: I'm pretty sure our artist would be fine with any license
19:17
vagrantc: given that we ship it in our ldm...
19:17
<vagrantc>
well, sure. just need it to be explicit...

if a server is a little slow in responding, ldm kills it?
22:18
<vagrantc>
warren: i'm not sure... it basically was something that was supposed to respond to failed passwords faster
22:19
<Ryan52>
if the ssh program dies, then it responds right away. if ssh spits out random stuff that doesn't contain a colon, then ldm reponds after 30 seconds.
22:19
responds meaning say "No response from server, restarting..." and restarting.
22:19

it was sending "No response from server, restarting..." instantly.

No, using a 19" lcd I already had
22:35
Bought a keyboard and a mouse tho'
22:35
<vagrantc>
i could set per-user session setting as the default server-side session
22:35
<Ryan52>
vagrantc: just tell them to "echo start-kde > .xsession".
22:35
err, startkde
22:36
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: it only matters for the non-anonymous login server
22:36
<sbalneav>
Hopefully, when carol and patricia ask me mac questions in the future I won't just sit there with a dumb look on my face.

22:39
Now I have grey text on a black background, and backspace works.
22:39* vagrantc is really curious about the beagleboard
22:39
<sbalneav>
beagleboard?
22:40
<fgiraldeau>
sbalneav: hi
22:40
<sbalneav>
Hey Francis
22:40
See my bloggypost?

sbalneav: not yet, do you have the link near?
22:40

I only post once a year, so it's like a big event :)

sbalneav, hi there, looking for suse guys?
22:42
<fgiraldeau>
sbalneav: maybe you have an idea about a strange behavior I got
22:42
<sbalneav>
No, just wanted attributions for the blag post
22:42
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: http://beagleboard.org
22:42
<fgiraldeau>
I create a fifo, and then delete it, and it seems that when I do that too fast, it fails
22:42
<cyberorg>
ah, reading it :)
22:43
<sbalneav>
How are you creating it? In C?
22:43
<fgiraldeau>
http://pastebin.com/m4d3efe50
22:43
<sbalneav>
or in sh with mknod
22:43
<fgiraldeau>
in C
22:43
<sbalneav>
Gah, can't right click in text term and do go to link.
22:44
This mac sucks
22:44
Gnome for the win.
22:44
<fgiraldeau>
I'm about to reproduce the ssh control socket with libssh2
22:44* sbalneav reformats his mac
22:44
<sbalneav>
really?
22:44
cool
22:44
one sec, I'll have a look
22:45
<fgiraldeau>
thanks, but it seems really wired
22:47
<sbalneav>
When it fails, what's the value of errno?
22:47
<fgiraldeau>
put in a loop create_fifo and delete_fifo, the first iteration works, then other fails
22:47
let me see
22:48
<sbalneav>
should be able to do a printf("%s\n", strerror(errno));
22:49
<vagrantc>
ok, so LDM doesn't appear to work well with ssh keys and forced commands.
22:50
and i had this really, really weird thing happen where the login suceeded, but the greeter actually was still running... and icewm just treated it like any other client ...
22:51
haven't been able to reproduce that ...
22:52
<sbalneav>
Hm, never tried it with keys. Forced commands?
22:52
<Ryan52>
vagrantc: that's because it connects and tries to run "echo SOMETHING_SPECIAL_THAT_I_FORGOT; /bin/sh/ -"
22:52
<sbalneav>
LTSPROCKS
22:52
<Ryan52>
sbalneav: where a user connecting with that key is only allowed to run a certain thing.
22:52
yes, that's what it was :)
22:53
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: command="/usr/bin/foobar" ssh-rsa ldkjgfADFGHSDFHlakjfglsdfg ... in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
22:53
well, we could just put LTSPROCKS in the forced command ...
22:53
<sbalneav>
Well, if it doesn't see the sentinel, it can't know if it's logged in.
22:53
<vagrantc>
but i bet a lot of the magic wouldn't work.
22:54
ah.
22:54
i wonder how ssh keys and master connections work
22:54
<sbalneav>
Now.
22:54dirigeant has quit IRC
22:54
<sbalneav>
what we COULD do...
22:54
<vagrantc>
maybe that's somehow not playing together nicely...
22:55
<Ryan52>
vagrantc: using sockets with ssh keys works fine, I've played with it.
22:56
<sbalneav>
It might be nice to try to get something going with SSH_ASKPASS
22:56
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: even with forced commands?
22:56
<Ryan52>
that I haven't tried.
22:56
<fgiraldeau>
Error deleting /tmp/test.fifo : Success
22:56
humm...
22:56
I will revise the logic, there is something wrong, don't bother with that ;)
22:57
<stgraber>
fgiraldeau: :)
22:57
<fgiraldeau>
stgraber: Hi!
22:58
stgraber: see you tomorrow, I'm gonna sleep a bit
22:58
<stgraber>
fgiraldeau: it's like current PAM in Ubuntu, you change your password, it fails but tells you the password was changed successfully :)
22:58
fgiraldeau: ok, see you
22:58
<fgiraldeau>
stgraber: yeah, it sucks
22:58
good night all
22:58
<sbalneav>
Night francis.
22:59
vagrantc: Until we get ourselves off of havinng to look at tty input for ssh, we're going to have some limitations.
23:00
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: i can either just drop the forced command stuff, or write a server-side wrapper to take care of it.
23:00
<Ryan52>
tsk tsk...memcpy being used in the qt branch. and, guess what, it was the cause of the seg fault! I didn't see that comming at all! /me glibifies
23:01
<vagrantc>
ldm has too many features that people have been asking about for *years* at freegeek... all the way back to 2001 or so...
23:01
<Ryan52>
and g_freeing the return value of a call to strstr...that seems wrong.
23:02
oh, no, I misread the g_free part.
23:03
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: has the features, or doesn't have the features?
23:04
jammcq: Still there?
23:04
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: has the localdev and sound support mainly ...
23:05
and i keep thinking one other feature
23:05
of course, until we figure out this weird problem with modern PXE implementations, we're stuck using etherboot floppies so i'll have to disable floppy devices... ugh.
23:07
<sbalneav>
Why? Can't you just use the pxe on the card to boot?
23:07
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: for the record, if you connect to an ssh control socket that was created with a forced command, when you connect to it again it just runs the forced command
23:07
<jammcq>
sbalneav: yeah
23:07
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: something on the network has borked the PXE...
23:07
<Ryan52>
vagrantc: that's dumb.
23:07
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: that's secure.
23:07
<sbalneav>
jammcq: so, I got my iPod, right?
23:07
<jammcq>
ok
23:07
<Ryan52>
vagrantc: yes.
23:07
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: otherwise, forced commands are useless
23:07
<sbalneav>
Full of mp3's that I've loaded onto it from Linux
23:07
they play fine
23:07
<jammcq>
ok
23:07
<sbalneav>
plug in the ipod
23:08
itunes pops up
23:08
<jammcq>
k
23:08
<sbalneav>
I can SEE all the music, but it's all greyed out. I can't CLICK on any of it to make it play.
23:08
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: get ProxyDHCP errors on PXE boot ... plug them into another network ... same servers, same switches (although a different VLAN) and it works fine!
23:08
<jammcq>
umm
23:09
you have all those mp3's on disk somewhere, right?
23:09
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: wierd
23:09
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: so there must be some switch configuration particular to that vlan ...
23:09
<sbalneav>
jammcq: I think so.
23:09
<jammcq>
copy them all to your mac
23:09
import them into iTunes, it'll prolly convert them to the apple format
23:09
then sync them on to your iPod
23:09
and you'll be fine
23:09
<sbalneav>
OK
23:10
<jammcq>
you'll prolly wanna remove the mp3's from the ipod first
23:10
<sbalneav>
Hmm, can iTunes understand ogg, I wonder.
23:10
<jammcq>
umm, I doubt it
23:10
<sbalneav>
Sigh.
23:11
Well, I'll figure it out.
23:11
<jammcq>
i'm sure you will
23:11
<sbalneav>
ipod ntive format's AAC or Flac?
23:12
<vagrantc>
Flac is cool stuff.
23:12
<jammcq>
no clue
23:12
I just use it. I don't care much how it works
23:12
<vagrantc>
not as good compression as mp3 or ogg and a little more CPU intensive, but totally loss-less quality
23:13* vagrantc didn't actually read the question
23:13
<jammcq>
ok, bed time
23:13
<sbalneav>
Night.
23:14
I've got a music library of 350+ albums all beautifully tagged in ogg.
23:14
Don't see why I can't import from the ipod itself.
23:15
It's wierd to me.
23:15
<jammcq>
well, maybe you can
23:15
i'm not an iPod guru, I just use it
23:15
jorge knows lots about that stuff
23:15
<vagrantc>
i'm pretty sure you have to get different firmware to get ipod's to read ogg
23:16
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: Unfortunately, I've got an ipod classic, so they don't have a version of rockbox for it yet.
23:16
otherwise, it'd already be converted.
23:16
<vagrantc>
heh
23:16
i kinda wondered :)
23:16
well, good hacking with y'all :)
23:16
<sbalneav>
Night.

23:23
<johnny>
sbalneav, maybe a plugin to rhythmbox or something that could convert stuff to mp3 while copying..
23:23
perhaps that already exists..
23:23alkisg has joined #ltsp
23:24
<sbalneav>
Oh, I've GOT a duplicate tree in mp3 format.
23:24
It just seems rather odd to me that:
23:25
1) I have to copy them over to the mac, meaning I'm going to have to figure out how to either get nfs going on the mac, or do like an scp
23:25
<johnny>
copy them to the mac for what?
23:25
oh..
23:25
<sbalneav>
johnny: Did you read the above?
23:25
<johnny>
i wouldn't mess with it from itunes at all
23:25
ignore itunes
23:26
it is the devil
23:26
<sbalneav>
Why?
23:27
It's just a program.
23:27
<johnny>
obviously not
23:27
if if it can't read the music you've gotten on it from linux
23:27
maybe the metadata isn't a perfect match anymore
23:28
maybe it's missing that one tiny bit that makes itunes want to ignore it or something
23:28
<sbalneav>
But it SEES the music list. It's just greyed out.
23:28
<johnny>
sure.. it's greyed out for a reason :)
23:28
it doesn't like what you did
23:29
it knows you went behind its back
23:29
and now you are being punished
23:29
<sbalneav>
You're talking a lot of baloney.
23:29
<johnny>
not about the part of of not liking what you did
23:29
that is obviously true
23:30
<sbalneav>
No, it's NOT obviously true
23:30
<johnny>
otherwise you wouldn't be having a problem
23:30
it would just work
23:30
<sbalneav>
it might be something I'M doin wrong.
23:30
<johnny>
i perhaps was under the wrong assumption that you have used itunes before?
23:30
and it worked fine?
23:30
<sbalneav>
I just got the mac like yesterday.
23:31
first time I've ever used it.
23:31
<johnny>
you probably didn't do anything wrong
23:31
afaik it is supposed to be that easy
23:31
<sbalneav>
You ever used iTunes?
23:31
<johnny>
i haven't personally.. but i've seen my friends use it
23:31
didn't see any twiddling
23:31
plug the thing in.. pick what you want
23:31
<sbalneav>
So, basically, you know just about as much as I do.
23:31
<Ryan52>
chrisinaWORKPLAC, brendan0powers: okay, I cleaned it up a bit, fixed the seg fault, and fixed the greeter not spawning issue. see the commit logs. It still doesn't work, for reasons unknown (as I am out of time for tonight). Tomorrow I'll work on getting the gtk greeter ported to the new protocol so we can tell if it's a ldm or a qtgreeter issue.
23:32
<johnny>
and it just works :)
23:32
<sbalneav>
Which is nothing.
23:32
I'll keep fiddling :)
23:32
<johnny>
have fun with that.. you might need to format your ipod's internal db tho
23:33
<sbalneav>
Why? I've never touched the ipod other than to put stuff on it.
23:33
<johnny>
unless they removed compat for your old ipod.. but that woudl be unlikely
23:33
sure.. but you're assuming the people who wrote the program that you used on linux, actually did it 100% perfectly itunes compatible
23:34
if you can't figure it out in the next little while, see if there are any bug reports :)
23:34
gf is calling me to bed.. bbiab
23:37
<sbalneav>
Figured it out. I have to click on "Manually manage this ipod"

Whoohoo, "Another Man's Gain" by Zappacosta
23:44* sbalneav dances like those people in the iPod ads
23:45
<sbalneav>
I like this little mac mini, and the iPod was great this summer at the cottage...
23:46
But I know those ads with the "shadow people" dancing with the headphones are a complete lie
