hi
02:51
how do i host LTSP server on a Windows machine?
02:53rcy has quit IRC
02:55
<Appiah>
?
02:56
well you dont..
02:56
unless your thinking of virtual servers
02:57
May I ask what you are planing on doing nataraj ?
02:57
<nataraj>
well
02:58plamengr has joined #ltsp
02:58
<nataraj>
it is for a client who wants to have thin clients using linux
02:58
but wants to have the server files like pxelinux.0 kernel initrd etc and the FS image on Win XP
02:59
<Appiah>
So you want the pxe part on a windows machine
02:59
<nataraj>
yeah, all the stuff on the LTSP-5 server
02:59ltsppbot has quit IRC
02:59
<Appiah>
You will need a tftp server for WinXP then I'd guess
03:00
<nataraj>
Actually
03:00
i have seen this guy doing something like ltsp on Windows machine
03:01
<Appiah>
Ask him then?
03:01
<nataraj>
i mean booting linux over pxe
03:01
well, i can't
03:01
<Appiah>
Oh yes that's possible
03:01
But you will have to edit alot by yourself
03:01
<nataraj>
i cant ask him
03:01
i was referred in by another guy
03:02ltsppbot has joined #ltsp
03:03
<Appiah>
just find out a software to run your pxe on WinXP then
03:05
My approach would be to 1) install the LTSP server and make it work 2) Turn of pxe/tftpt 3) copy the images and pxe stuff from LTSP to my WinXP Machine
03:06
4) Edit the configuration files the needs to be edited
03:07
Wanna explain the reason for running the Pxe part on WinXP btw?
03:09
<nataraj>
this is a former M$ employee
03:09
i meant this guy
03:09
what he wants is ,
03:10
to use Rdp client to connect to a Windows terminal service via linux
03:10
he is well versed in Windows ,not linux
03:11
<Appiah>
ok
03:11
build the ltsp-rdp envoirment in linux then
03:12
and copy it to the tftp/pxe on WinXP ?
03:12
<nataraj>
one question is that
03:12
Ltsp-5 depends very much on the host OS
03:13
<Appiah>
you wont be doing this with "LTSP-5"
03:13
<nataraj>
oh, ok
03:13
<Appiah>
Dont see why you should
03:14
<nataraj>
mmmm, i was trying out Ltsp-4.2 with Intel Atom thin client machines
03:15
after pxe loads the kernel, the network card isnt getting detected
03:15
<Appiah>
I think you better of doing this "from scratch" or how should you say...
03:16
Dont think there's a ltsp-rdp package for any dist(?!)
03:16
<nataraj>
well, rdp client is not the problem
03:17
initially
03:17
<Appiah>
Can you build a client image?
03:17
<nataraj>
i need the thing to boot into linux from XP server
03:17
<Appiah>
I'll take that as a no then
03:17
Well good luck
03:17
<nataraj>
i mean using linux kernel
03:18
sorry
03:18
dont get me wrong
03:18
<Appiah>
If you succeed you can send mail to the mailinglist telling how you did it , would be intressting to see how you solved it
03:18
<nataraj>
no wait
03:18
<Appiah>
wait what?
03:18
I'm going
03:18
<nataraj>
pxelinux.0
03:18
kernel
03:18
file system
03:19
do we need anything else?
03:19
file system gets installed in /opt/ltsp/i386
03:20
i am talking about ltsp 4.2
03:20
<Appiah>
I'm bad at that stuff since I only have experince with LTSP-5 and the scripts builds that easily for you
03:20
<nataraj>
how do i make a .img of the file system?
03:20ltsppbot has quit IRC
03:20
<Appiah>
and have yet to run into a client that does not boot
03:21
you can check the scripts ltsp-build-client and such and see how they do that nataraj
03:21
now I gotta go
03:21
<nataraj>
same here. dont know what happens inside
03:21
bye cya

<Appiah>
made with dd probly
03:26
<nataraj>
ok
03:27
any way to simulate the whole thing by hand?
03:27
like using uBoot bootloader
03:28
where we can download each component from Nfs or tftp to specific locations and then run

hi
07:37
i'm trying to solve with local devices and rdesktop script
07:38
i run rdesktop screen.d script as the only script on thin client, and i would like to have access to local devices
07:38
is there any way how to do this?

hi pasmen
07:53
Why don't you use ltspfs ?
07:53CAN-o-SPAM has joined #ltsp
07:54
<CAN-o-SPAM>
hello #ltsp
07:54
<pasmen>
i would like to use it, but as i understand the overall mechanism, ltspfs is only used together with ldm
07:54
i managed to start rdesktop using a script via LDM_SESSION parameter in lts.conf
07:55
but that makes the server very busy for 50 concurent users
07:55
and does other problems as well
07:55ltsppbot has joined #ltsp
07:56
<ced_>
Ok. I can't help you. I don't know rdesktop.
07:58
<pasmen>
ahh ok, thanks anyway
07:59
but it's not about rdesktop in particular, the only requirement for me is to have local devices accessible on the thin client via some automount mechanism
08:02
<ced_>
I'm confused because I think that ltspfs is independant of the session's type.
08:02
Do you enable FUSE on the server ?
08:04
<ogra>
ced_, ltspfs needs some very special setup for rdesktop, wait for Gadi to show up, he knows about that
08:04
<ced_>
If I understand, you've got one LTSP server (Linux), one Windows server and many thin clients.
08:04
Ok.

#LTSP: Help Promote Our Project! Digg This Article: http://www.heise-online.co.uk/open/The-Linux-Terminal-Server-Project--/features/112254/4

CAN-o-SPAM, eeek
08:06
"A tool that promises to help avoid this, the LTSP Manager, is currently under development, but it's still in an alpha version."
08:06
LTSPManager is a nonfunctional mockup
08:07
<stgraber>
it's also speaking of s-c-p which stopped to exist with Hardy
08:07
<ogra>
thin-client-manager is unmaintained
08:07
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ogra: why, are you squeeking?
08:07
<ogra>
stgraber, it still exists
08:07
but the only change it saw since hardy was me disabling vnc
08:07
<stgraber>
ogra: hmm, right. Just not used anymore :)
08:08
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, well, i'm the author of the tools mentioned in the article and know about their (non working) status
08:09
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ogra: it's ok, any publicity is good, i hope you put your make up on today, because i'm bringing a spotlight
08:09
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, the tool used and recommended in ltsp across the board in ubuntu since about a year (since stgraber takes good care of it) is italc
08:09
(and only italc, since it fulfills all needs at once)
08:09
all other tools are dead
08:09
or in zombie state since quite a while
08:09
<pasmen>
ced_: yeah, that's what configuration i have
08:10
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ogra: anyword from the hardware guy over at canonical?
08:10
did u bum him a smoke from me?
08:10
<ogra>
he said he contacted you ?
08:10
<pasmen>
the problem is, when i plug i.e. usb key in, directory appears in /var/run/drives, but is empty
08:10
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, you should have mail from "marc tardif"
08:10
<pasmen>
as i've read somewhere, ltspfs depends somehow on gvfs
08:11
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ogra: no mail
08:11
<ogra>
i'll poke him again ... if i see him
08:11
<ced_>
pasmen: so the difficulty you have is that the LTSP server shall tell to the Windows server that one of your thin client has a new device.
08:11
<stgraber>
he's on IRC, joined 4mins ago
08:11
<ogra>
he said we dont have a cert programme for thin clients specifically, but he can certify the HW with attached disk and had mailed you about it ... weird
08:11
<pasmen>
afaik that's not possible with rdp protocol
08:12ltsppbot has quit IRC
08:12
<pasmen>
but i can use -r option of rdesktop to statically redirect the directory to windows
08:12
so the only way to solve is to get device mounted on thin client anywhere, when it's plugged in
08:13ltsppbot has joined #ltsp
08:13
<ogra>
pasmen, wait for Gadi
08:13
<ced_>
Yes, but the Windows server will not know it.
08:13
<ogra>
you need a special setup of ltspfs for rdesktop
08:14Gadi has joined #ltsp
08:14
<ogra>
he is working on that
08:14
<pasmen>
ahhh
08:14
good to know :-)
08:14
<ogra>
speaking of the devil :)
08:14
<stgraber>
Gadi: good timing :)
08:14* Gadi looks around for devil
08:14
<pasmen>
Gadi: hi, i've heard you can help me :-)
08:14
<Gadi>
uh oh
08:14
<stgraber>
Gadi: do you have your rdesktop script around ? looks like pasmen and I need it
08:14
<Gadi>
hmm....
08:14
in what way?
08:14
<stgraber>
Gadi: I'll also likely have some time to look at that ltspfs change
08:14* ogra points at Gadi's little horns hidden under the hair :)
08:15
<Gadi>
hey, thats a common misconception about my people
08:15
:)
08:15
they arent so little
08:15
doh!
08:15
anyway, what did I stumble into here?
08:15
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, despite the tools being idle i wouldnt mind anyone picking up the code and going on with their development btw ... but promoting them widely is not a good idea
08:17
<Gadi>
ah, ok
08:17
remind me to thank nubae for keeping logs
08:17
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ogra: maybe an amazing programmer will fall from a tree and help out? :-O
08:17
<Gadi>
this whole conversation makes a lot more sense
08:18
pasman, stgraber: I am still working on porting my gutsy-LTSP-based hacks to new upstream
08:18
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, yes, but i'm concerned that our default tool thats used on all distros isnt mentioned at all, only the broken non working ones are listed
08:18
<pasmen>
Gadi: i need to make local devices work on the thin client, as i'm using rdesktop script as the only screen script
08:18
<Gadi>
new upstream is a LOT easier to merge into
08:18
pasmen: this is what I do:
08:19* pasmen is listening
08:19
<Gadi>
1. install ltspfs in the chroot
08:19
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, ergh and the article promotes thin clients from 16 to 24M as a good choice ???
08:19
<Gadi>
2. hack /lib/udev/ltspfs_entry to make a local call to ltspfsmounter (in addition to the ssh call)
08:19
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, these wont even boot
08:20
<Gadi>
3. the call in #2 needs to fake a few things like DISPLAY and SSH_CONNECTION env var
08:20
also, I currently run rdesktop as a non-root user, but that is because I didn't want to hack upstream's scripts
08:20
<pasmen>
sounds little complicated to implement is myself :-)
08:20
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, it seems to be written after more than 2 year old docs as well
08:20
<Gadi>
This is what I plan to do for upstream:
08:21
1. Modify ltspfsmounter so it can be called from localhost and not mount things under /media/$USER/ but under /media
08:21
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, that will give a really bad user experience, nothing they describe there will work as promoted at all
08:21
<Gadi>
2. Modify ltspfs_entry as above
08:21
3. install ltspfs in the chroot
08:21
and bam!
08:21* ogra wishes the heise guy would have contacted him for review ... oh my
08:22
<Gadi>
then, I simply redirect /media through rdesktop
08:22
<pasmen>
but
08:22
ehm, nothing, my bad :-)
08:22
<Gadi>
pasmen: the mods are few, but I can use testers when Im done
08:22
you up for testing?
08:23
<pasmen>
of course !
08:23
that would be great
08:23
<Gadi>
what makes a lot of this easier, is that the new ltspfs upstream calls ltspfs_entry for everythin
08:24
even cdpinger uses it
08:24
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, i live in the same city ... he could have even gone out for a coffee with me so i could have explained it to him (since i wrote most of todays base) that article will shed very bad light on us if users follo it
08:24
<pasmen>
i would even help, if i find a spare time
08:24
<Gadi>
back in Gutsy, I had to modify all the little ltspfs scripts to get everything to make the calls
08:24
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ogra: if it sheds more light, people will find the appropriate resources, and have better expirences, right?
08:24
<pasmen>
to be honest, i don't even get the big picture of how it works atm
08:25
which would at least help my understanding
08:25* CAN-o-SPAM thinks maybe ogra should contact the writer?
08:25
<Gadi>
pasmen: do you get how localdev works normally?
08:25
with LDM?
08:25
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, it will fail for everyone on first try who follows the instructions in there
08:25
<pasmen>
i think so, at least i've read the ltsp manual and the ldm chapter :-)
08:25
<ogra>
the whole info seems to be based on ubuntu dapper
08:26
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ok, so we need to get people on the right track, lets do that
08:26
<Gadi>
basically: udev calls ssh ltspfsmounter which makes an ltspfs mount to the client (from the server) which mounts the media on the client upon access
08:26
<CAN-o-SPAM>
this is an opportunity
08:26
people need LTSP, they have no money
08:26
<Gadi>
so, for rdesktop, I just do the same process, but all local
08:27
<pasmen>
i don't know how ltspfs works
08:27
<Gadi>
that way, I get ltspfs's great automounting properties
08:27
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, indeed, but there are proper resources for info even for article writers
08:27
<Gadi>
ltspfs = network automount
08:27
<pasmen>
ok
08:27
so it's visible on the server but not on the client with ltspfs
08:27
<Gadi>
whenever you access the ltspfs mount, it mounts the drive on the client and accesses it
08:27
<ogra>
i think i even know the article, it was in the rinted version of the german linux magazine two years ago
08:28
*printed
08:28
<Gadi>
well, the steady-state is an unmounted drive
08:28
<ogra>
and doesnt seem to have been updated at all
08:28
<Gadi>
it only gets mounted when accessed through the ltspfs mount
08:28
<ogra>
looks like a copy/paste job
08:28warren has joined #ltsp
08:28
<pasmen>
ahh
08:28
<Gadi>
so, I just make local ltspfs mounts
08:28
:)
08:29
<pasmen>
ye ye, that's what i just wanted to ask :-)
08:29
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ogra: rek@ct.heise.de
08:29
<pasmen>
alright, i think i'm a bit smarter now, thanks :-)
08:29
<Gadi>
its great - and uses code we already have
08:29
<pasmen>
sounds good to me
08:29
<Gadi>
so, we dont introduce automount or supermount or smbfs or anything
08:29ltsppbot has quit IRC
08:30
<pasmen>
i did hack ltsp 4.2 to use automount
08:30
and it didn't really work well
08:30
cd's got stuck in cdroms etc.
08:30
<Gadi>
yeah - ltspfs works quite well
08:30
because it was designed for this
08:30
<pasmen>
is it a lot changes to implement it?
08:30
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, i'm really drowning in porting ubuntu to ARM atm, can you coordinate and point him to me ? i'm fine taking 1h or so to review stuff from him but what he writes atm is 98% wrong
08:30
<Gadi>
and if there is a bug, and we fix it, it gets fixed for all
08:30
<CAN-o-SPAM>
sure wats your e-mail
08:30
<Gadi>
pasmen: not really
08:31
pasmen: do you know how to use bzr?
08:31
<pasmen>
nope, but i'm learing fast :-)
08:31
i know what it is
08:31
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, ogra@ubuntu.com ... oliver.grawert@canonical.com ... decide how official you want me to be :)
08:31
<pasmen>
just didn't use it
08:31
<Gadi>
I will create a branch of ltspfs and we can test that
08:31
<pasmen>
ok thanks
08:31
<ogra>
CAN-o-SPAM, or ogra@ltsp.org ;)
08:31
<pasmen>
that would be really great
08:32
<Gadi>
cool. stay tuned....
08:32
<pasmen>
ok, thanks again
08:32
<Gadi>
(PS: we also need this kind of thing for local apps, so we can kill many birds with one stone)

CAN-o-SPAM, thanks ... sorry to put that on you but i have to do ltsp in my spare time nowadays and job is keeping me to busy atm
08:34

warren, I applied to join the bzrk12ltsp and alt-bzrk12ltsp groups on fedorapeople because one must be sponsored in a group other than CLA

warren, do you have to do something to approve those, since you're listed as the admin for those groups?

08:37
<silvergti>
hello
08:38
<ced_>
The "Building custom LTSP kernels" wiki page ( http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/CustomLtspKernels ) makes refers to the ltsp_kernel_kit. Is it still exist ? I didn't find it in the debian packages.
08:38
<Gadi>
ced_: that LTSP 4.2 stuff
08:38
are you on 4.2?
08:38
<ced_>
No, i'm using LSTP 5.
08:39
<ogra>
ced_, on lts5 you should use the distro kernel and the way to build that sepcific one from the distro package
08:39
<Gadi>
then, alas, that will be of little help
08:39
<warren>
that page should be removed
08:39
<ogra>
likely documented in the debian wiki or some such
08:39
<ced_>
Ok. Shall i compile my new kernel in the chroot dir ?
08:39
<ogra>
ced_, what exactly do you want to change in the kernel ?
08:40
<Gadi>
ced_: are server and client both i386?
08:40
<ced_>
No, i found nothing about that in the debian wiki.
08:40
<Gadi>
er, 32-bit?
08:40
<ced_>
Yes, they are both i386 in 32-bit. I just want to optimize my kernel for the Wyse S50.
08:41
<pscheie>
warren, not remove the page, just clearly mark it as being for 4.2 and obsolete
08:41
<Gadi>
ced_: then, you should be able to do your work server-side
08:41* ogra wouldnt recommend to do a custom kernel though ... for the cost of upgradeability
08:41
<ced_>
and put it in the chroot after ?
08:42
<silvergti>
I need some help... got Ubuntu 8.10 and Thinclients from NEC. But they don't boot :( they stop with "IP-Config: eth0 hardware address (MAC Address) mtu 1500 DHCP RARP"
08:42
<Gadi>
ced_: actually, no, its prolly easiest to do everything in the chroot
08:43
<ced_>
Thanks,It's what I want to know.
08:43
<Gadi>
that way the update-initramfs and such will work properly
08:43
<ced_>
Good.
08:43
<Gadi>
and pull in the correct initramfs
08:43
<silvergti>
hello
08:43* warren remembers the days where he would build the entire kernel into a single blob because he couldn't figure out how initrd worked
08:43
<ced_>
Is it possible to not use the initramfs ?
08:44
<Gadi>
silvergti: do they have more than one NIC?
08:44
<silvergti>
no
08:44
<Gadi>
ced_: only if you compile it into the kernel
08:44
<ogra>
well
08:44
<ced_>
It's what I want.
08:44
<ogra>
you will likely get a lot of probs
08:44
<ced_>
why ?
08:45
<ogra>
because all the netbooting is handled through initramfs
08:45
so you will need to djust a lot
08:45
*adjust
08:45
<pasmen>
silvergti: how long did you wait with this message?
08:45
<ced_>
It's what i fear !
08:45
<silvergti>
i'm still waiting
08:45
<pasmen>
i had the same issue, sometimes restart helps, sometimes it just takes long, then is continues
08:46
<ogra>
its imho not worth the time you put into it and lose the ability to pull in security updates and fixes
08:46
<silvergti>
but it can't take that long... :P
08:46
<ced_>
Ok. So i can optimize my kernel but i should keep the initramfs stuff.
08:46
<pasmen>
silvergti: once i also had the i386.img corrupted
08:46
after the rebuild all was fine
08:46
<ogra>
what exactly doesnt work with debians default kernel ?
08:47
<silvergti>
pasmen: i got 2 ltsp servers (8.04 and 8.10) and got this in both
08:47
<ced_>
Everything goes well but the client is booting very long.
08:47
<pasmen>
ok
08:48
can't be the network overloaded?
08:48
<silvergti>
no
08:48
<Gadi>
silvergti: add: break=mount to pxelinux.cfg/default
08:48
<silvergti>
it's local and we don't have much traffic
08:49
<Gadi>
that will get you to an initramfs shell
08:49
on the client
08:49ltsppbot has quit IRC
08:49
<Gadi>
and you can see whats going on
08:49
<silvergti>
ok ty :)
08:49
<Gadi>
could be a bad network driver
08:50ltsppbot has joined #ltsp
08:50
<Gadi>
or it could be that the NIC does not come up as eth0
08:51
<silvergti>
do i need to build, after add that in file?
08:51
<ogra>
sounds likely
08:51
<Gadi>
silvergti: its not an extra line
08:51
it goes on the same line as "splash"
08:51
like: splash break=mount
08:51
<silvergti>
DEFAULT vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img break=mount quiet splash
08:51
<Gadi>
right
08:51
<ogra>
remove splash and quiet
08:52
<Gadi>
save and reboot
08:52
you need not rebuild
08:52
<ogra>
and add break=mount
08:52
<silvergti>
ok
08:52
<Gadi>
(its a kernel argument)
08:52
<ogra>
and then just boot
08:52
<Gadi>
oh, right. hehe remove splash
08:52
:)
08:52
otherwise ur flying blind
08:52
<silvergti>
alt+f1
08:52
:P
08:53
<ogra>
that doesnt gain you much with splash and quiet :)
08:53
<silvergti>
w quiet guess not
08:53
:P
08:53
i need to reboot the server?
08:53
<ogra>
no
08:54
only the client
08:54
<pasmen>
Gadi: can i ask one more related issue?
08:54
*rdesktop related*
08:54
<Gadi>
indeed
08:54
you have not yet reached ur quota
08:54
<pasmen>
maybe it's more of a windows server issue, don't know
08:54
lol
08:54
ok, it's about the logon timeout
08:55
when i do not login and hang at logon screen, rdesktop ends after, dunno, 1 minute or so
08:55
<stgraber>
yeah, it's a windows issue
08:55cliebow has joined #ltsp
08:55

ahh ok
08:55
<Gadi>
right
08:55
put rdesktop in a loop
08:55
<pasmen>
is that timeout cutomizable?
08:55
<Gadi>
no
08:55
<pasmen>
i see
08:56
ty
08:56
<Gadi>
in my rdesktop script, I have rdesktop in a while loop

08:57
<ogra>
Gadi, wasnt that in intrepid ?
08:57
<Gadi>
exactly
08:57
ogra: not sure
08:57* ogra thought Gadi submitted tht upstream

I did and then we reworked the xinitrc stuff
08:58
not sure what the state of the union is

i think your new rdesktop script went in before
08:58

that I think is upstream-worthy

09:03* ogra wonders what brings up lo though ... there is no code for it
09:03

09:03
just: ipconfig eth0
09:03

k
09:10* Gadi wonders why it is not requesting an IP
09:10
<Gadi>
maybe: ps -ale

y
09:16
<silvergti>
my ltsp is not a dhcpd
09:16

ah
09:17
<tinpardo>
you have to use mac addreess to identify who server assign who ip
09:18
<silvergti>
i know, but i have it in global, so every pxe client will boot from ltsp
09:18

which apparently works ... else you wouldnt get kernel and initramfs
09:18

yep
09:19
but ltsp works in my laptop

they often do that with their drivers ... develop a whole new thing out of kernel and wait until someone moans loud enough to get the stuff upstream

at least they publish the source of their kernel modules so you can build it yourself most of the time

i finally got a spare minute to try the branch you sent me before
12:21
i'm stuck at x11 and fuse packages missing while trying to build
12:21
probably i'm doing something wrong
12:21
<Gadi>
sudo apt-get build-dep ltspfs
12:21

oh
12:21
let me try again
12:22
dammit
12:22
<Ahmuck>
what's a beagleboard?
12:22

ok, time to work again...
12:22
i'll try it later and let you know

12:23
<ogra>
Ahmuck, the future
12:23
<johnny>
ogra, i mean now :)
12:23
hehe
12:23
<ogra>
johnny, i'l put you on the list ... though these will be way more powerful than te beagle
12:24
<johnny>
what will?
12:24
<ogra>
the ARM based laptops
12:24
<johnny>
oh
12:24ced_ has quit IRC
12:24
<johnny>
linux is uniquely positioned to steal this market
12:24
go portability
12:24
flash folks have already started
12:25
which is good
12:25* ogra has still about 30 packages that fail to build on ubuntu ... then the whole of main will be done
12:26
<ogra>
flash for arm exists since quite a while
12:26
<johnny>
so do you know about any arm laptops in production?
12:26
<ogra>
java is at least in ubuntu been ported recently

Gadi: hmm, ok so I have rdesktop working with /media mapped, I plugged a usbkey and nothing seems to have triggered ltspfsmount any idea ?
12:27
<ogra>
i know there are plans ... i have yet to see real HW though
12:27
<johnny>
i can't wait
12:27
<Gadi>
stgraber: do you have ltspfsmounter locally in the chroot?
12:27
<stgraber>
Gadi: yep
12:27
<johnny>
i wonder how the battery life will be
12:27
<ogra>
eternal
12:27
:)
12:27
<Gadi>
is rdesktop the only screen session?
12:28
<stgraber>
Gadi: yeah, I had to restart it a couple of time to fix the broken screen.d script
12:28
<Gadi>
what was broken?
12:28
<johnny>
ogra, i think i'd be happy with the same thing as beagleboard on a wap
12:28
that'd be pretty awesome
12:28
minus the video components
12:29
<stgraber>
Gadi: missing ${X_ARGS} so didn't have -config working
12:29
<ogra>
the beagle only has 128M Ram
12:29
<stgraber>
Gadi: I'll commit this fix a bit later
12:29
<ogra>
and no disk controller
12:29
<Gadi>
ah, ok
12:29
can you get a shell on the client?
12:29
<ogra>
you want something that takes 256 or 512M and has a SATA controller
12:29ltsppbot has joined #ltsp
12:30
<johnny>
sata controller? more like 2 gig ssd or something
12:30
something really cheap
12:30
<ogra>
mine currently uses a 6G SDHC class6 card
12:30
<johnny>
damn
12:30
<ogra>
its usable, but slow
12:30
<johnny>
for a wireless access point?
12:30
wth you need 6G in that?
12:30
<ogra>
i compile stuff on it :)
12:31
<stgraber>
Gadi: I have a shell on it
12:31
<ogra>
and it has no network devices ... only a USB port
12:31
<johnny>
yeah
12:31
that's why i can't use beagleboard directly
12:31
needs two ports
12:31
<Gadi>
stgraber: what display is the Xserver on?
12:31
:6?
12:31
<ogra>
just get a USB HUB
12:32
Gadi, you ot weird smileys today :)
12:32

12:32
<johnny>
is there anytihing that can run hostap on usb network devices ?
12:32
<Gadi>

12:32

12:32
<ogra>
johnny, no idea ... USB WLAN devices just show up as WLAN cards though
12:32
<stgraber>
Gadi: :7
12:33
<johnny>
i know that ogra .. but if it can't run as a master.. it can't be used
12:33
<ogra>
i never tried
12:33
<johnny>
plus you need to install antennas
12:33
<ogra>
no idea
12:33
<Gadi>
stgraber: on shell: DISPLAY=:7 /usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter add /var/run/drives/<blah>

it should creae the .deb in ../
12:52

jeeze, you are right...
12:52
silly me
12:52
thanks
12:52
now, i simply install these in the chroot using dpkg -i right?
12:52
<ogra>
right
12:53
<pasmen>
ok, gonna test it
12:53
thanks for now guys
12:53

and since you are on ubuntu, run sudo ltsp-update-image on the server
12:54

bah, did passwd right after the install :-)

while we're all here, there are a few files that I think are in the wrong trunks
14:00
there's an ldm script in the ltspfs trunk
14:00
thats 1
14:00
2. the ldm screen script really belongs in the ltsp trunk with the others
14:02
<stgraber>
I guess it was done in such a way that ldm shouldn't be a hard depend
14:02
as you might do ltsp without ldm with just either a text login or a rdesktop login
14:02
and then wouldn't like to have the ldm screen.d script
14:02
<Gadi>
why not?
14:02
<stgraber>
(because it'd call a non-existing binary)
14:02
<Gadi>
its just a hook
14:02
it should check for it
14:03
just like rdesktop

Gadi: we don't have as much control over the rdesktop maintenance, so we ship our own script for that

Gadi: i'd like to move in the direction of consistancy ... i.e. ldm itself has no code related to ltspfs, just hooks that ltspfs fills in

/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf uses 172.16.100.* IP addresses in the default IP assignment so I put 254 at the server location

<Ryan52>
oh, ok.
16:22
<vagrantc>
although i wonder if ubuntulooks isn't at least smaller for debian.
16:22
upstream would probably make more sense to use clearlooks in the default theme
16:22
<Ryan52>
clearlooks is installed anyway, I think.
16:23
ldm depends on libgtk2.0-0 which depends on gtk2-engines which provides gtk2-engines-clearlooks

yeah, that's a dependency
