can someone tell me how to install flash for firefox on LTSP ?
07:07
yum install flash-plugin does not work
07:08
<FlyOnTheWall>
does it give some error message?
07:08
basically you just install flash on the LTSP application server and it should work on the clients
07:08
<quickslip>
no package flash-plugin available
07:09
ah - ok - would the same hold true for shockwave and such
07:12mikkel has joined #ltsp

hi
07:32
anyone can help me?
07:33
Well, I have a LTSP closed. I wonder how can I do to reconfigure or something to change the sound card, video card?because the system is accepting only access the server if the station is the same type of cards.I sent is lts.conf and try reconfigure .But I cannot find this file on PC
07:34quickslip has quit IRC

<evilx>
pcs0303, configure it by mac address [MAC_ADDRESSS]
07:40dmaran has joined #ltsp
07:41
<pcs0303>
evilx, Where I find this(mac anddress) ?
07:41
<evilx>
every network card has one
07:42
and it in lts.conf you specify [mac_address] ]
07:42
then you canlike sit different settings for that one machine
07:46
<pcs0303>
Hmm,so what I must I do? I am not considering very well that situation :(

good morning
07:51
a couple of newb questions
07:52
ltsp-update-kernels and ltsp-update-image is run from within chroot?
07:55
<muttley_>
i'm here for help as you...but i don't think you must enter in chroot
07:56
<Blinny>
johnb: No. You can't build the image while inside the chroot.
08:01alkisg has quit IRC
08:14tier1_ has joined #ltsp
08:16
<johnb>
Thank you. I see now. The phrasing tripped me up "Finally, you must remember to rebuild the NBD boot image from your chroot "
08:16
I complicate things at times
08:16
another question
08:18
In order to run yum update from within chroot I had to edit opt/ltsp/i386/etc/resolve.conf
08:19etyack has joined #ltsp
08:23
<johnb>
I don't see where this is mentioned in the manual and don't know if it is bug any how
08:24
I ran yum update in chroot and it downloaded the updated the packages
08:25
my question is why download them twice once outside chroot and once inside?

<pcs0303>
hi,As I notice the version of ltsp?
08:37
<Blinny>
johnb: Because the chroot only needs limited stuff - not everything that is on the server like openoffice and firefox. That's why they're separate. And, that chroot image is sent over the network -- it needs to be kept small.

i get this on start: Broken pipe Reconnecting [..] Error: Ioctl/1.1a failed: Bad file descriptor | Any suggest?
08:41rjune_ has quit IRC
08:44
<johnb>
I was thinking since we had already have these packages we could look locally first
08:45
<pcs0303>
More doubts,it is possible the archive lts.conf does not exist ?Because I cannot find the way "/ opt /ltsp/i386/etc/lts .conf" no way.
08:45
<ogra>
muttley_, do you have any probs with your clients apart from seein that message ?

08:46

the message is normal, the stopping isnt :)
08:46

i ltsp is installed on ubuntu server 8.10
08:50
<johnb>
jammcq: hats off to you et el! I have just started to scratch the surface of LTSP 5 and it's looking like the migration from our 3.5 year old K12LTSP is not going to be too much trouble.
08:50
the new methods a very slick.
08:51
<pcs0303>
oh very good.
08:51
<muttley_>
Ubuntu serve 8.10 -> install kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop -> install ltsp-server-standolone
08:51
<jammcq>
johnb: cool. Glad you like it. I'd love to take all the credit for it, but it wouldn't be fair to the guys who really did all the work
08:51
<Blinny>
pcs0303: the default lts.conf location has moved out of the chroot to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf -- that way, you don't need to rebuild the image with every change to lts.conf
08:52
<johnb>
hence the et el :-)
08:53
<jammcq>
heh, it's ALL et ell :)
08:54
I pop in here once in a while and say hello. that's about it
08:54
<ogra>
muttley_, and ltsp-build-client finished without errors ?
08:54

09:06
so far so good
09:06
but we have a little glitch

In Ubuntu 8.10, there are some /etc/rc?.d/K20nbd-server scripts that produce the message "...could not open config file. Message: Nothing to do! Bye!" upon booting, and there's also nbdrootd ran from inetd.conf that correctly loads nbd-server... Should I delete all "/etc/rc?.d/K20nbd-server" scripts?
09:52
<gate_keeper_>
any good how-to for ltsp+xdmcp?
09:52
*ltsp5
09:53
<cyberorg>
gate_keeper_, LDM_DIRECTX=True is all you need in lts.conf
09:53

just wanna try and see the difference
09:55
..
09:55
without LDM
09:55
<cyberorg>
gate_keeper_, check the difference between LDM_DIRECTX=True and False :)
09:55
<gate_keeper_>
:)
09:56

it uses unencrypted ssh connection, almost like xdmcp

did you get up early and get all the way to the airport to find that out?
10:14
<sbalneav>
cdealer: well, you might try putting a NIC=xxxx option on the kernel command line.
10:14
jammcq: 4 am + drive to the airport + 3 hour wait. :)
10:14
<cdealer>
sbalneav: like NIC=r8169 ?
10:14
<jammcq>
heh
10:15

i'm looking at the ldm log could our problem be with the greeter or should I be looking to ldm?
11:07
<Gadi>
johnb: ldm is the greeter
11:08
it sounds like the session does not end on the server
11:08
check to see if there are any processes running for that user when you logout and are sitting at the black screen
11:16Lns has joined #ltsp

gadi: running top I don't see any processes remaining

11:19
<johnb>
process 2985 exited with status 0
11:19
<Gadi>
also, do: ps -ef on the client and see if you can tell what the last process is
11:19
<johnb>
spawing greeter...
11:20
ldmtkgreet
11:20
<Gadi>
definitely sounds like the greeter's not happy

related problem
11:21

when you logged out, did the Xserver die and restart?

how much memory in these clients?
11:23
<johnb>
this client has 512
11:23
<Gadi>
oh, this doesnt just happen on the old P1s
11:23
<johnb>
have no P1s all P4
11:24
<Gadi>
johnb: and if you ctrl-alt-backspace, does it come up properly?
11:25
<johnb>
ram is 256 - 1000 mb on various clients also have a few j225 terms
11:25
no, it tries and fails
11:25
<Gadi>
yeah, doesnt sound like the prob is resource-limiting
11:25
:)
11:27
<alkisg>
johnb: I shouldn't be even saying this because it's silly, but it happened in one of my lab PCs: If you turn off the screen and then back on - without pressing anything on the keyboard or moving the mouse, does it come back?
11:27
(I guess mine had something to do with dpms)
11:30
<johnb>
not silly at all... ya never know. No joy though. I am going to test some other clients and see if this is across the board

It is normal ltsp not spread type" / var / opt / LTSP / swapfiles",because I am not achieving finds to reconfigure the lts.conf . someone idea?
11:44
<johnny>
try that again
11:45
<pcs0303>
Well, I have a LTSP closed. I wonder how can I do to reconfigure or something to change the sound card, video card?because the system is accepting only access the server if the station is the same type of cards.

pcs0303: Do you mean that your client isn't getting its sound and video chipset detected correctly?
11:48
argh!! my firewall is dying :(
11:50
<pcs0303>
The customer with sound correctly,but is not accepting modify the sound card,the slab video... And I must modify because they are exceeded
11:50
I am sorry for my English :(
11:51
<johnb>
the problem seems to be associated with using vesa
11:51
<sbalneav>
pcs0303: Have you tried #ltsp-br?
11:52
it's the Brazillian LTSP channel here.
11:53
<johnb>
but when I use the standard XSERVER it takes a about a minute from log out until the greeter returns
11:53
<Gadi>
johnb: anything in the client's Xorg log file?
11:55
<johnb>
I will take a look into it further tomorrow. It's looking like our existing clients might not work well with LTSP 5
11:55
bummer...
11:55
<Gadi>
no - just sounds like maybe a video driver issue
11:56
they may not work "out of the box" with Fedora 10

is there a way of using a newer version of syslinux instead of 3.53? i.e. just by replacing the pxelinux.0 file with the latest gpxelinux.0? I've tried and it doesn't work
12:03shrek has quit IRC
12:04
<epsas>
hmmm
12:04
<alkisg>
din_o1: use the latest pxelinux.0, not _g_pxelinux.0. I've tried 3.72, it works fine.
12:04
<epsas>
okay - so I am trying to boot a thin client off of my new k12linux install -- but I keep getting "/etc/rc.early_sysinit: No such file or directory"

sbalneav: just about the module problem... if I put a NIC=r8169 on pxelinux.cfg/default its not going to make the other nics to stop working?

cdealer: put it in pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address
12:08
<din_o1>
ok thanks ;)
12:09
<alkisg>
cdealer: See when then client boot for the exact filename (it says something like "trying to load 01-00-1d-0f-be-a6-b9")
12:10
*the
12:10
<cdealer>
alkisg: I suppose that I mac-address must be replaced by the MAC right?
12:10
<alkisg>
yes, in lower case and seperated with -
12:10
use "default" as a template
12:10
<cdealer>
alkisg: inside I put the same line of default plus the NIC=r8169 ?
12:11
<alkisg>
The same line yes, but I don't know this kernel parameter "NIC"
12:11
Whatever they told you :)
12:11
<cdealer>
alkisg: isnt anyway for making this NIC to load together if needed? Because isnt just 1 box using this... we just received more 30 boxes all with the same
12:11
Hmm
12:12
<alkisg>
cdealer: I don't know the problem - I just thought to help with the pxelinux/filename stuff. :)
12:12
<cdealer>
alkisg: okay, I will tell you, maybe you could help me too
12:13
I just need to know how to make the client load an specific network driver, I have to load r8169, I tried using /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/modules I tried lts.conf with MODULE_01 = r8169 in global section, but nothing ... any ideia? When booting the client starts to boot and hang after ubuntu logo, with the last message "The client doesnt support options" after googling I so something about loading the NIC module to make it work
12:14irule has joined #ltsp

So what module does it load now? Why don't you remove the logo to see some more details?
12:14irule has quit IRC
12:15
<alkisg>
(i.e. remove quiet splash from pxelinux.cfg/default)
12:16
<cdealer>
this happened on a remote site, I could not test the box yet, our tests make here (hq) couldnt reproduce the error, the boot could even start, only after using a disket with gpxe image
12:16
s/make/made
12:18
I'm waiting to the box arrive, this may happen only tomorrow, then I will test on our primary enviorment ... these onboard rtl8111/8168B (gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L) doesnt seen to work how they should, even having bios boot lan is not working here

<Gadi>
cdealer: you need to follow the instructions for your distro of how to install a new network driver for the kernel, and do so in the chroot - don't forget to update the initramfs and the run update-ltsp-kernels when you're done
12:28
it is not working because the version of your distro lacks the appropriate driver
12:28
realtek provides open source drivers on their site
12:29
you can get the latest and compile it in
12:29
<alkisg>
Gadi: do you know if these are the same drivers that e.g. Ubuntu has? Or they also include modified code?
12:30
(I had irq problems with 8169, had to use the irqpoll kernel parameter)
12:30
<Gadi>
drivers from vendor sites tend to be larger in size than those shipped in kernel upstream
12:31
and usually (from what I have found) tend to be newer and resolve issues with upstream kernel drivers
12:31
<alkisg>
So I'd better give them a try... ty, Gadi
12:31
<Gadi>
since the fixes may lag in getting into the kernel
12:31irule has quit IRC
12:31
<Gadi>
alkisg: dont forget to update the initramfs
12:31
<alkisg>
Sure.
12:31
<Gadi>
for LTSP, it is only the initramfs that matters when it comes to NICs
12:32
thats where the driver is loaded
12:32
<cdealer>
Gadi, thanks for the info, this will be very helpfull
12:33
but unfortunetily I only know about making vmlinuz (kernel image) and initrd ... I dont know about how to update initramfs
12:36
<Gadi>
cdealer: there are howtos for most distros
12:36
in general, what I do is:
12:36
1. Download the kernel headers for the kernel I am using in the chroot
12:36
2. Download the driver
12:37
3. Adjust the Makefile in the driver package to point to the kernel headers (instead of the running kernel on the server - unless they are the same)
12:37
4. Make the kernel module
12:37
5. Copy it into the chroot
12:38
<cdealer>
okay ...
12:38
<Gadi>
6. chroot into the chroot
12:38
7. run: update-initramfs -u
12:39
<epsas>
okay - so I am puzzled
12:39
<Gadi>
8. run: /usr/lib/ltsp/ltsp-kernels
12:39
9. exit out of the chroot
12:39
10. ltsp-update-kernels
12:39
<epsas>
i see that the system is booting from the LTSP server, but it is running an init script that I am not familiar with...
12:39makghosh has joined #ltsp
12:40
<epsas>
rather, it is running an init script that is not found on the ltsp initrd (which i unpacked and inspected)
12:40
<Gadi>
epsas: sounds like its downloading the wrong initrd
12:40
<epsas>
Gadi - yeah, and I have no idea where it is doing that from
12:41
<cdealer>
Gadi, I think you saved my life here (well, not exactly my life but a lot of time) a big thanks
12:41
<Gadi>
check your pxelinux.cfg/default setup
12:41
cdealer: np - it sounds harder than it is
12:41
:)
12:41
cdealer: and there are some added steps for introducing new drivers
12:41
<epsas>
Gadi - ahh, where do i find that? =)
12:41
<Gadi>
as you need to run a depmod in the chroot, as well
12:42etyack has joined #ltsp
12:42
<cdealer>
well, Im familiar with most of the process, I think after your steps description will make it a lot easier
12:42
<Gadi>
epsas: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
12:42
(on ubuntu)
12:42
<cdealer>
depmod on 2.6 kernel?
12:42
<Gadi>
cdealer: sure
12:42
that refreshes the modules.dep
12:42
<cdealer>
isnt that depreceated since 2.4?
12:42
<Gadi>
so modprobe knows how/from where to load modules
12:43
cdealer: you're thinking of modules.conf
12:43
<cdealer>
sure, you're right
12:44
<epsas>
weirder still, it is running a 2.6.20.9 kernel =/
12:44
okay - this is strange
12:44
<Gadi>
epsas: check dhcpd.conf
12:44
<alkisg>
epsas: maybe your clients are etherboot?
12:44
<Gadi>
(or a competing dhcp server)
12:44
<alkisg>
(and they load nbi.img?)
12:45
<epsas>
alkisg - ahh, yeah. They are "DisklessWorkstations.com" thin clients
12:46
<alkisg>
You could try modifying dhcpd.conf to send them pxelinux.0, though - it might work.
12:46
<epsas>
Gadi - well, there is a competing DHCP server, but I set this ltsp server to be authoritative, and I see that the thin client is using it's subnet
12:46
<Gadi>
yeah, so authoritative is mostly a placebo
12:46
:)
12:47
unless you know the competition is not authoritative
12:49
<epsas>
Gadi - somehow I don't think that should be happening
12:50
if a client is issuing a dhcprequest to one server, it should be finding it's images from the same server
12:50
<vagrantc>
nah
12:52
<huey>
any reason why my xorg.conf file is blank?
12:53
<Gadi>
epsas: keep in mind, we make 2 requests
12:53
<cdealer>
you know... I'm having an issue since my ltsp server on a ubuntu 7.04, the problem still is happening and maybe someone had already heard something about it... Adobe Reader on clients takes a lot to Load and its very bugg, to roll a page its all stuck and seens very heavy weight (we are using adobe cause we had problem with evince and some pdf that had BarCode - evince was crashing)
12:53
<Gadi>
and if they are answered from different servers, you are screwed (with default config)
12:56irule has joined #ltsp
12:56
<alkisg>
That's why I'm saying that you should support passing root-path and the other dhcp parameters in the kernel command line, so that IPAPPEND could be used => no second dhcp request needed :)
12:56
<Gadi>
alkisg: we do support that
12:57
nbdroot=<ip:port>
12:57
<alkisg>
Gadi: these are not supported: DNSDOMAIN, NISDOMAIN, ROOTSERVER, ROOTPATH, and filename
12:58
filename is used to get the tftppath, and root* for nfs, I think...
12:59
So if someone uses IPAPPEND to only do 1 dhcp request, lts.conf isn't looked for in the correct path
12:59
<Gadi>
well, its up to the distros, really
13:00
for ubuntu, it would be easy to add the code
13:00
<johnny>
how does ROOTSERVER get set ?
13:00
<Gadi>
but, of course, that would be a PXE-only solution
13:00
<johnny>
i had big probelms with dnsmasq running on a different server
13:00
<alkisg>
Why pxe only? Someone could chainload gpxe from etherboot...
13:01
<newbie mode on>And why would that be distro work? E.g. ipopts handling used to be in ltsp-upstream... </newbie mode off>
13:02
<Gadi>
ipopts is a kernel standard
13:02
<alkisg>
johnny: ipconfig gets it from the dhcp server
13:02
<johnny>
the rest are implemented in distro specific initrd code alkisg
13:03
<alkisg>
Gadi: aren't all kernel parameters passed into the environment? So it would only be a matter of using them instead of blindly including /etc/net-eth0.conf
13:03
<johnny>
alkisg, only if the initrd is coded to do something with em
13:03
not all distros uses initramfs-tools
13:03
<Gadi>
right - what he said
13:03
<johnny>
of course.. for debian and ubuntu and their derivatives.. it'll work fine
13:03
<alkisg>
Ah... ok, too deep for me. Thanks!
13:03
<johnny>
but not gentoo and fedora
13:03
<Gadi>
each distro has its own initrd
13:03
and way of handling things
13:04
<johnny>
Gadi, have you heard of this distro agnostic initrd some fedora people are working on?
13:04pcs0303 has quit IRC
13:04
<johnny>
altho i imagine debian will be nearly impossible to change
13:04
<Gadi>
nope
13:05
<johnny>
that's why i don't use debian on the desktop
13:05
<Gadi>
but, it sounds silly
13:05
<johnny>
they should just use initramfs-tools instead probably
13:05
<Gadi>
they should use what works for their distro
13:06
<johnny>
it's not all that special imo..
13:06
<Gadi>
the initramfs, in my view, is a mini-distro
13:06
<johnny>
the init system is more special.. and that is on both fedora and ubuntu
13:06
<Gadi>
so, it makes sense for each distro to use a mini-distro of their own flavor
13:06
<johnny>
except they are generally so minimal that it doesn't really make sense imo
13:06
obviously special purpose distros are different in that regard
13:07
and their initramfs might be THE distro
13:08
give me the most minimal code it takes to get into the root, so i can do everything else :)
13:08
if i had my druthers.. i'd setup upstart in gentoo and use that for ltsp
13:08
too bad it's probably not worth the hassle

could someone please specify to me what type of thin clients could be used w/ edubuntu? and would it be difficult to use blender with such a setup?
23:03
or would it work if there was a powerful server which it was connected to? what would be the specs for such a server..
23:03

23:04
<vagrantc_>
not sure about blender, but thin-client requirements are fairly modest by today's standards. though for graphics-intensive things they tend to need more ram. a basic thin client works fine with 128-256MB of ram and a 400MHz processor.
23:05
but blender throws in a host of unknowns, so it's hard to really guage.
23:06
you'd probably have to just experiment with it
23:07
<stgraber>
blender on the app server usually doesn't work well but is really good to run as a localapp (you'll need a very recent ltsp though)

at which point each thin client needs enough ram to run blender, and generally more since you don't have swap available...

that way we can tag and move with it, easier to test and such, but not introduce unpredictable behaviors otherwise...

<stgraber>
vagrantc_: what part of ltspfs would need to read that variable ?
23:12
vagrantc_: if it's one of these called from udev that'll be a problem
23:13
<vagrantc_>
stgraber: several places, but i think it shouldn't be too difficult. i'll look into it tomorrow.

vagrantc_, all the devices launch one ltspfs in the client like this http://picpaste.com/pics/Capture.1234329188.JPG
23:14
<stgraber>
vagrantc_: my main issue with ltsp-cluster is that I'm trying to reduce the required reboot of the thin client to minimal
23:14
vagrantc_: so I fail if a user wanting to switch from ldm+ssh to rdp has to reboot to get its usb key working ...
23:15
<vagrantc_>
stgraber: so then enable it globally by default :)
23:15
<stgraber>
btw, is there a way to change the default configuration for each distro easily ?
23:15
(other than shipping a lts.conf)
23:16
<vagrantc_>
we could include something at the end of client/ltsp_config that checks for the presence of ltsp_config_vendor and sources that ...
23:17
<cyberorg>
stgraber, we use /etc/sysconfig/kiwi-ltsp, for the cluster i intend to use /etc/sysconfig/ltsp-cluster
23:17
<stgraber>
I'd rather see it at the top actually so the other will override it (making that a default and not a mandatory value)
23:17
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: i'm at a loss with the nomad patches ... something just doesn't look right to me and i can't place my finger on it.
23:18
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, let me explain :)
23:18
<vagrantc_>
(other than issues already apparently addressed)
23:18
<stgraber>
cyberorg: that's on the server or in the chroot ? (your sysconfig stuff)
23:19
<cyberorg>
if LDM_NOMAD is set in lts.conf, ldm will create a ssh socket which will be used to do local dev stuff, and then use normal rdesktop to connect to xrdp server
23:19
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: so the login screen is still from ldm ?
23:19
<cyberorg>
stgraber, on the server, we prefer to transfer all required files via tftp without modifying chroot
23:19
vagrantc_, yes
23:20
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: and it launches rdesktop on the thin client, or on the server?
23:20
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, in the thin client
23:20
<stgraber>
isn't ltspfs using X atom ?
23:21
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, that is why we could not use rc scripts
23:21
stgraber, yes, ldm starts X, rdesktop if running full screen on that
23:21
<vagrantc_>
stgraber: well, that's what the local mounting patches are all about
23:22
cyberorg: or is nomad not depending on the local mounting patches?
23:22
<stgraber>
vagrantc_: yeah, was just wondering how they did to make ltspfs to work when they don't use X11 for transport :)
23:22
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, in nomad case local mounting is not required
23:23
stgraber, it just works without it :)
23:23
stgraber, we use ssh socket for that

that is how cluster config will be handled, it will be transfered from server to the client
23:24

hey they have had a recession for decades
23:26
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: passing that password on the commandline still worries me ... i think ldm logs the commands it executes....
23:26
and if you're using remote syslogging
23:26
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, it is not passing password at commandline, it shows up as XXXX
23:26
<johnny>
i bet you do
23:27
4 X's ?
23:27
that's extra dirty..
23:27
<cyberorg>
johnny, there may have been more, but it is all top quality X
23:28
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: before it even executes it, ldm has the string in memory, and may log the string when it runs.
23:28
i.e. about to run: foo bar -p baz
23:29
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, want ssh access to client running it?
23:29
<vagrantc_>
i don't see how the password can possibly be passed without displaying it at *some* point.
23:29
even if it cleans it up later.
23:30
ldm.nomadpassword = g_strdup(ldm.password);
23:30
<stgraber>
I guess rdesktop starts by forking another rdesktop but still, the parent has the password
23:30* johnny forks stgraber
23:30
<vagrantc_>
is clearly just storing the password before it gets cleaned up
23:30
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, it gets cleaned up immediately after running rdesktop
23:31
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: your patch never frees it
23:31
cyberorg: why not just use ldm.password ?
23:31
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, because it gets freed immediately after use
23:31
<vagrantc_>
never frees it, as in, it does actually free it.
23:31
:)
23:31
<cyberorg>
g_free(ldm.nomadpassword);
23:32
line 37 in the patch
23:32
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: it should only set ldm.nomadpassword if ldm.nomad is true
23:32
otherwise it will never get freed
23:32
and you're working around the fact that it gets freed ...
23:32
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, ah right
23:32
<vagrantc_>
that ldm.password gets freed
23:33
maybe instead, work around the g_free(ldm.password) by *not* freeing that when ldm.nomad = true
23:34
and then freeing it after your call to ldm.nomad
23:34* cyberorg can't code :P
23:34
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, yes that makes more sense
23:34
<vagrantc_>
i don't know C, either ... but anything that duplicates a password and stores it for later seems very suspect and needs a lot of review :)
23:35
but that should shorten the diff a little
23:35
by not having ldm.nomadpassword at all
23:36
but even my suggestion makes me cringe a little.

23:42
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, how does that look?
23:42
johnny, i would rather not stick my nose in something i will never be good at :)
23:43
vagrantc_, we have to use ldm.password twice as we are creating two connections to the server, one ssh for localdev and one rdesktop
23:45
<Ryan52>
johnny, ya, and I really need a python tutorial...but that doesn't stop me from attempting to mess with ldminfo. :P
23:45* Ryan52 has no interest to learn python, at all, even tho people keep telling him he should.
23:45
<johnny>
Ryan52, how come?
23:45
<vagrantc_>
Ryan52: can you give a look at the patch cyberorg pasted?
23:45
<Ryan52>
vagrantc_, ya, I will.
23:46|Paradox| has joined #ltsp
23:46
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: it basically looks ok to me, even though it still makes me feel uneasy. :)
23:46
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, it shouldnt as everything in there runs only if LDM_NOMAD is set
23:47
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: well, there's nothing to prevent someone from setting LDM_NOMAD ...
23:47
<Ryan52>
johnny: why should I? :P. I feel like there isn't really a point in adding yet another scripting language to my list of tools...they all do the same thing. and the only reason to use a certain language over another is for some library it has, and afaict python has nothing too special ;)
23:47
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: is there any simple way to test if their rdesktop supports nomad? it does require a patched rdesktop ?
23:48
<Ryan52>
plus I don't know if I could live with not being able to have emacs automatically indent. :P
23:48
<johnny>
Ryan52, i just learn whatever other people are using for whatever projects :)
23:48
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, that wont harm them, without xrdp running on linux server their attempt will fail, password is not logged anywhere
23:48
<johnny>
Ryan52, so.. some ruby, perl, php, python, erlang, C, etc..
23:48
lua..
23:48
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, plain rdesktop works, it just does not use special x11rdp channel
23:49
<Ryan52>
cyberorg, ldm.password still needs to be freed.
23:49
at some point in time.
23:49
so after the last time you use it, free it.
23:49
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, g_free(ldm.password); is there
23:49
<johnny>
Ryan52, personally tho.. i avoid languages that require me to free things :)
23:49
hehe
23:49
<Ryan52>
cyberorg, oops, I missed it.
23:50
cyberorg, your old patch didn't, iirc, so I just assumed...sorry :P
23:50
johnny, hehe
23:50
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, it freed ldm.nomadpassword
23:50
<Ryan52>
rly? ok...*shrug*. /me needs to memtest his brain.
23:51
<johnny>
so i never chose to use C for anything i do.. which is easy.. if you're not doing systems programming..
23:51
<cyberorg>
let me know if anyone wants access to client running ldm with nomad patch, try and steal the password :)
23:51
<johnny>
has anybody ever ran ldm through valgrind ?
23:51
<vagrantc_>
cyberorg: so i should be able to test this with an unpatched rdesktop and xrdp ?
23:52
<cyberorg>
vagrantc_, yes
23:52
<vagrantc_>
ok, being able to test it makes me happier.
