ok, sorry, first time for me here
06:54
I have deployed a ltsp in a high school
06:54
we have 1 server with some 25 clients
06:54
now I would like to add more servers and clients
06:55
I am looking for a detailed guide as how to add more servers
06:55
and setup so they balance load between them

hi

<Remaille>
my ltsp server is inside a windows network (plenty of XP computers and a 2003 server)
07:28
how could hide some network windows shares on the network
07:29
hide or forbid the acces from the thin clients ?
07:29
thanks
07:31alkisg has joined #ltsp
07:34
<alkisg>
Remaille: I think the correct way would be to protect them from within Windows - i.e. passwords for access, ntfs security rights etc
07:34
As a workaround, maybe you could use iptables to drop the packets if they use smb port for some specific IPs?
07:35
*I mean if the target port = samba port
07:36
<Remaille>
yes alkisg , but i can't modify windows rights...
07:36
eg , i need to allow acces to P: and not J: or X:
07:37
<alkisg>
In the same machine?
07:37
<Remaille>
(theses are shares on the server)
07:37
yes
07:37
so same IP
07:37
:s
07:37
<alkisg>
Well, then definately windows-side
07:38
<Remaille>
I won'be allowed to de that (strange ok)
07:38
nothing i can do on the ltsp server ?
07:39
<alkisg>
Too much of a workaround... the only thing I can think of is to cut all the traffic to this server, but allow a certain program (smbmount) so that it mounts P: to some path on the server... :(
07:40
But you should really fix your network - what, now anyone with a laptop can access shares that he shouldn't have?
07:40
<Remaille>
I know alkisg
07:41
in my school, we have a software who need is directory to be read/write for everybody to execute itself on the network
07:42
in middle school, no laptop :)
07:42
exept teachers
07:42
on wondows boxes those shares are just hidden
07:43
on a thin client you see all of them
07:44
so, the clue could be tweaking smb ?
07:45aakash has quit IRC

maybe just add browseable=no would be enough?
07:51
<Remaille>
cliebow, where ? in the smb.conf ? (thanks)
07:51
<alkisg>
He says he doesn't have access to the windows server configuration...

<Remaille>
hum it should be possible by the way
08:07
there is a kiosk mode for ltsp
08:07
in this mode, i think that you can't browse the network
08:07
nothing on google for that
08:07* Remaille : still searchning

Hmm I have some reports of firefox crashing as localapps when running some javascripts ... =)
08:27
<Gadi_eeepc>
maginot: it definitely sounds like you have some underllying filesystem issues
08:28
<maginot>
Gadi_eeepc, Hmm why you think that?
08:31
<Gadi_eeepc>
well, you reported that localapps firefox was not saving user preferences
08:31
that would only happen if it could not write to the user's homedir
08:31
if it cannot write to the homedir, that means it probably cannot lock files and do other things
08:31
which may compromise the stability of the program
08:32
<maginot>
well, not exactly not saving preferences... it saves well, but if the user disconnects THEM reconnect without rebooting the client all prefes comes reseted, but they are ther
08:32
<Gadi_eeepc>
are they actually i the files?
08:33
in other words, look at the contents of the user's prefs.js
08:33
do you have any server-side login script that you added to reset things upon login?
08:35
<maginot>
no, all default... what I have is 2 plugins, Acroread and Java... but after testing evince I notice that it crashed no more when printing pdf with barcode.. so Im going use it
08:35
and Im going to keep localapps in test and use the on-server procedure with firefox to maitain stability
08:37
localapps is still to much unstable, I will keep testing, will ubuntu 9.10 come with any change for localapps ?
08:44
<Gadi_eeepc>
are you using stgraber's repository?
08:44
!stgraber-ppa
08:44
<ltspbot`>
Gadi_eeepc: "stgraber-ppa" is https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+archive/ppa
08:45
<Gadi_eeepc>
if you use that, it will be the same as Jaunty
08:45
his intrepid packages are latest upstream
08:46
(which may be more stable for localapps - I know we cleaned up a few things)

Hi gadi
08:48
<Gadi_eeepc>
hi
08:48
<yggdrasill_>
I'm still having problem with X...
08:48rjune has quit IRC
08:48
<yggdrasill_>
I tried your suggestions but as you told me
08:49
the problem is that the driver recognize the card as a laptop
08:49
and uses the wrong settings
08:50
seems to find an LVDS and DVI output
08:50
<Gadi_eeepc>
right
08:50
<yggdrasill_>
but I can't disable the lvds
08:50
<Gadi_eeepc>
what distro are you on?
08:50
intrepid?
08:50
<yggdrasill_>
I tried to set X_OPTION_01= "\"IgnoreEDID\" \"true\""
08:50
no Hardy
08:51
8.04
08:51
<Gadi_eeepc>
ah
08:51
hmm...
08:51
that makes things tougher
08:51cyberorg has joined #ltsp
08:51
<yggdrasill_>
why?
08:51
<Gadi_eeepc>
you should make a special xorg.conf then
08:51
<yggdrasill_>
i see...
08:51
<Gadi_eeepc>
because hardy does not have the same infrastructure as intrepid
08:51
so, we cannot do an easy hack
08:51
<yggdrasill_>
I should make a custom xorg.conf
08:52
<Gadi_eeepc>
yeah
08:52
<yggdrasill_>
and load it on lts.conf
08:52
<Gadi_eeepc>
make a custom xorg.conf
08:52
<yggdrasill_>
isn't it?
08:52
<Gadi_eeepc>
and in lts.conf, use: X_CONF=/path/to/myXorg.conf
08:52
<yggdrasill_>
i see...
08:52
<Gadi_eeepc>
make sure that xorg.conf has the sectioin to ignore LVDS
08:52rjune has joined #ltsp
08:53
<yggdrasill_>
I have to define in device
08:53
<Gadi_eeepc>
yes
08:53
<yggdrasill_>
or in driver?
08:53
<Gadi_eeepc>
or do this:
08:53
[FUTRO]
08:53
X_CONF = "/path/to/mYXorg.conf"
08:53
[AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF]
08:53
LIKE=FUTRO
08:53
...
08:54
then, for each futro client, you can just use MAC and LIKE
08:54
<_UsUrPeR_>
yggdrasill_: http://pastebin.com/m5ff3d675
08:54
that's some documentation I have saved for our DLW 1520. it should apply
08:55
<Gadi_eeepc>
oh yeah, CONFIGURE_X=True
08:55
man, we made some good changes since Hardy
08:55
:)
08:56
<yggdrasill_>
yes, I set CONFIGURE_X=True
08:56
<_UsUrPeR_>
yggdrasill_: just ignore the parts about creating new images...
08:56
<yggdrasill_>
ok
08:56
<_UsUrPeR_>
err wait
08:56
<yggdrasill_>
and if I would upgrade to Intrepid?
08:56
would things be easier?
08:57
<Gadi_eeepc>
well, in intrepid, we have a directory in which to add hacks for Xorg.conf
08:57
<_UsUrPeR_>
yggdrasill_: is this for a single laptop or a thinclient?
08:57
<yggdrasill_>
thin clients only
08:57
<Gadi_eeepc>
so, we could just drop a hack file in that says "if it detects this chipset, add this to xorg.conf"
08:57
<yggdrasill_>
the futro s450
08:58The_Code has joined #ltsp
08:58
<yggdrasill_>
I have 4 futro thin clients that are identical
08:58
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi_eeepc / yggdrasill_: here's that specific stuff. It was written by stgraber... http://pastebin.com/m334e6909
08:58
<yggdrasill_>
but since they use large graphic charts
08:59
we bought large displays 1680x1050 22"
09:00mikkel has joined #ltsp
09:01
<yggdrasill_>
this are for 8.10. works in 8.04 too?
09:02
<Gadi_eeepc>
no - for 8.04 use the custom xorg.conf
09:02
<yggdrasill_>
ah ok..
09:03
<Gadi_eeepc>
bbiab
09:03
<yggdrasill_>
just another question: I would like in the next future to upgrade the system to debian. What about?
09:03
is Debian better or not?
09:04
I mean what about LTSP under debian?
09:04
<NeonLicht>
sure it is
09:04
<cliebow>
depends on who you talk to 8~)
09:04
<yggdrasill_>
Well I moved 5 users from window to linux and I chose a soft impact with ubuntu
09:05
<cliebow>
i do believe..i do believe
09:05
<yggdrasill_>
but I would like to move them to debian
09:06
and I wanted to know if this was a good idea
09:06
:)
09:07
I guess it is...

Hello, when my thin client boots Its not going directly to the chroot environment (for example when I execute touch /tmp from a thin client, Its not being created at /opt/ltsp/i386/tmp). How can I fix that?
11:54japerry has joined #ltsp
11:56
<Gadi_eeepc1>
apocn: the thin clients share the chroot as a read-only mount
11:56
if it were read-write, it would be disasterous
11:57
also, /tmp is a tmpfs in thin client memory
11:57
and has nothing to do with the chroot
11:57
just as the /tmp on the server does not write to the hard drive
11:59
<Nubae1>
apocn: thats totally normal behaviour, think of the thin client as being an extension of the server, just a keyboard, a mouse and a monitor connected...
12:04
<apocn>
Gadi_eeepc1: ok, but I see the created file in the server
12:05hanthana has quit IRC
12:05
<apocn>
Nubae1: ok, so if I want to chroot users to their home directories I will need to do it as if its locally (without thinking about ltsp)
12:06
<Nubae1>
/home is on the server, not the client
12:06
<apocn>
Nubae1: sure, but I dont want the clients to go outside their home directory
12:06
so I just need to do that on the server
12:06
<Nubae1>
so set permissions to 600
12:07hanthana has joined #ltsp
12:07
<apocn>
Nubae1: to that homedir? (chmod -R 600 /home/user) ?
12:08
<Nubae1>
yup, users are anyway pushed to /home/user by default, but if u dont want them to see other users home dirs, change the perms
12:08
<apocn>
ok
12:08
<Nubae1>
I dont believe u can lock them in to just /home/user though
12:08
<apocn>
I'll try doing a chroot jail (http://www.fuschlberger.net/programs/ssh-scp-sftp-chroot-jail/)
12:08
<Nubae1>
I might be wrong though, Gadi_eeepc1 probably knows more about this

64 cores
12:35
<Lns>
wow!
12:35

hey alkisg
12:36
Nubae: what's it that you don't like about sles?
12:36
<Nubae>
I'd love to install LTSP on it =)
12:36
<alkisg>
Hello Lns, Nubae (long time no see), everyone :)
12:37
<Nubae>
hi alkisg
12:37
<Lns>
it's like a reunion! =p
12:37
<Nubae>
well, I just generally dont like Suse, everything is ass backwards on it
12:37
<Lns>
Nubae: how so?
12:37
<maginot>
what to do when after loading the client it stays in the login prompt and dont start ldm? I tried setting shell to screen 3 and ldm to 7 but doesnt work... screen 7 is just with a cursor blinking, screen 1 have thre prompt and screen 3 have nothing...
12:38
<Nubae>
well for one /var/www is at /srv
12:38
I'm stuck using stupid yast
12:38* Lns wonders if /var/www is lfs?
12:38
<Nubae>
lots of little things like that
12:38
<Lns>
Nubae: well, it *is* a different distro, you gotta expect stuff like that ;)
12:38
<Nubae>
well fedora, debian, centos, redhat, ubuntu all put it there
12:39
ltsp is also not under /opt/ltsp
12:39
<Lns>
yeah, that really is kinda the standard place
12:39
<Nubae>
not that it matters to much, but its just all these irritating little things
12:39
anyway, I'm looking for a good batch processing system
12:40
something to keep users happy and the system from getting bogged down
12:41
<Lns>
maginot: did you revert those screen stanzas and see if it works?
12:43
<maginot>
Lns, well, I have set the screen_03 and screen_07 because wasnt working without them so I tried this to debug, which didnt worked, so with or without it doesn't work, I only have the login prompt in screen_01 and nothing on 07 and nothing on 03 ...
12:43
<Nubae>
graphics problems?
12:43* ogra hopes maginot uses SCREEN_* not screen_*
12:43
<maginot>
I have my XSERVER = vesa and X_MODE = 1024x768
12:44
ogra, yeah, Im using uppercase...
12:44
but Im not using any kind of quote
12:47
I don't know what to do... this client was freezen before I disable sound in bios, I receive some "module-detect: failed to detect any sound hardware" and "E: module.c: failed to load "module-detect" (argument: ""):initialization failed" and "failed to initialize daemon"
12:47
and after that a lot of codec errors and client hangs
12:47
so I put SOUND = false on lts.conf and disabled sound in bios
12:48
<Nubae>
ignore that error
12:48
<maginot>
now the client is booting but when comes to start ldm nothing happens but I can do a ctrl+f1 and see the server prompt
12:48
<Nubae>
happens when thin client loads to quickly
12:48
<maginot>
Nubae, I couldnt ignore, because wasnt booting until disabling sound....
12:48
<Nubae>
sounds like a graphics card problem to me
12:49
<maginot>
Hmm
12:49
XSERVER=vga ?
12:49
<Nubae>
why not let it autodetect?
12:49
what card is it?
12:50
<maginot>
Hmm I dont know... I think its a via card... but I cant set to autodetect because other clients were having problems so I prefer to set per client configuration or default to vesa... at least its working great for the other clients
12:51
<Nubae>
other clients with the same graphics card?
12:51
<maginot>
no, this I'm testing is a different one, an older one...
12:51
Im trying with XSERVER to vga
12:51
<alkisg>
maginot: why don't you try X -configure on the client and see the xorg.log ?
12:52
<maginot>
alkisg, I'm not getting a shell ...
12:52
<alkisg>
Ah, I thought that with Alt+Ctrl+F1 you got a shell
12:52
<ogra>
try without setting SCREEN_07=ldm
12:53
<maginot>
ops, I get it now after XSERVER=vga...
12:53
problem loading ztv ?
12:53
what is this ?
12:55
alkisg, looks like ztv is the problem ... how to block it on lts.conf?
12:55
<alkisg>
I have no idea what ztv is :)
12:55lucascoala has joined #ltsp
12:56
<alkisg>
maginot: maybe it's a graphics module for your graphics card?
12:56
<maginot>
looks like a graphic module, i found this: "This package provides the X.org driver for AMD Geode GX/LX video chipsets. It provides the 'amd' and 'ztv' modules."
12:57
but isnt to work just with vesa or vga ?
13:03
<Lns>
maginot: what distro are you using?
13:04
<maginot>
this client is for ubuntu 7.10
13:05
<Lns>
yikes... why are you using such an old version?
13:05
<maginot>
Im still finishing the tests on 8.10 to put on production, but for now Im with this server
13:05
<Lns>
the AMD geode drivers (if that's what your client has) are probably broken in gutsy
13:06
<ogra>
7.10 is dead on april 23rd
13:06
<maginot>
ogra, well, until there i hope to have 8.10 up and running =D
13:06* Lns laughs at the irony of skipping the lts version =p
13:06
<ogra>
geode was completely broken in 7.10
13:06
dont waste your time on it
13:07
<Lns>
ogra: there might be a ppa for it, there was for hardy
13:07
<maginot>
wow... danm it ... so.. what workaround should I do ? What I'm thinking a kind of odd is that it should work with vesa driver ... dont it ?
13:07
<ogra>
no
13:07
<Lns>
maginot: geode has a rather "strange" history back then
13:08
<ogra>
Gadi_eeepc1 might have a gutsy package, not sure
13:08
<Lns>
i dealt with a lot of it myself in trying to get it to work.. you def. need an updated package, if that is in fact what your client has
13:10
<maginot>
well, the good is that I can skip this client and use another box ... :)
13:10
I think this box was using win98 before O.o
13:11
<Lns>
mmm.... malware... *drool*
13:11

I have geode drivers for gutsy
13:19
and from what I have found, newer ones are no better
13:20
back in gutsy days, it is the amd" driver
13:20
pre-"geode"
13:24
<maginot>
Gadi_eeepc1, you think using amd driver could solve?
13:25
dont harm to try ...
13:26
<Gadi_eeepc1>
maginot: first, you should delete the ztv
13:26
it is broken and not necessary
13:27
I didnt catch what chipset it was
13:27
GX2?
13:27
LX?
13:28
<maginot>
let me see.. just a sec
13:29Gadi_eeepc has joined #ltsp
13:29Gadi_eeepc1 has quit IRC
13:29
<maginot>
tell me if is this write, lspci is showing as: VT8378 [S3 Unichrome]
13:29
strange... its trying to load this ztv module ...
13:29
<Gadi_eeepc>
that's a via chipset
13:29
not amd at all
13:29
:)
13:30
<Nubae>
let it autodetect it
13:30
no point in forcing it
13:30
<maginot>
X -configure gives an error trying to load ztv...
13:31
Im kind of lost here, lspci show via, X -configure give an error trying to load ztv ... Im not sure of what to do
13:31
<Nubae>
I have S3s and they load fine with autodetection
13:31
<Gadi_eeepc>
rm /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ztv*
13:31
ltsp-update-image
13:32
:)
13:32
<maginot>
Gadi_eeepc, okay, I did already both
13:32
no need to specify XSERVER in lts.conf ? (note that already have XSERVER = vesa in global)
13:32
<Gadi_eeepc>
X -configure will load all modules present
13:32
<maginot>
okay, let me try and see what happen
13:34
<Nubae>
does LTSP work on itanium chipsets?
13:40
<maginot>
Gadi_eeepc, okay, after X -configure it complains about the mouse but no error, I them run X -config //xorg.conf.new and I have the gui showing up, the cursor in the cross type (mouse is working fine) and the background is just a grid and nothing happen ...

13:48
<Nubae>
maginot, copy xorg.conf.new to xorg.conf, restart
13:48
<Gadi_eeepc>
no
13:49
ok
13:49
at this point
13:49
XSERVER=auto does not work?
13:49
if not, try simply: CONFIGURE_X=True
13:50
<maginot>
I can try... but this can be a per client configuration right ?
13:51
<Gadi_eeepc>
sure
13:52
<maginot>
Gadi_eeepc, you know, you are a kind of smart dude ;) everything went fine now, the client is booting normaly and I used XSERVER=auto =)
13:52
thanks again
13:53

hey, vagrantc, I have installed the backports for Lenny, as you told me yesterday they were needed for localapps... I've been able to run a few localapps already and, best of all (the reasson why I wanted them in the first place) I've been able to dd a disk image into an USB stick w/o having to go to the server room to place it into the server, hahaha, thanks a lot man, for the great job and the so useful information!

14:17
<NeonLicht>
well, it works very nicely for me, actually, perhaps I'll find some problems in the future, but for now it has solved the inconviniencies I had, vagrantc :-)
14:18
well sometimes we also have to tell when something works, shoudn't we? XDD

and not only complain when they don't, hehe

great to hear
14:31* ogra really needs to find the time to test jauntys ltsp before release
14:31
<vagrantc>
ogra: just wait till after the release, then it'll be stable. :)
14:31
<ogra>
so many beautiful additions and i have no time to try them
14:31
heh
14:32
i'd still love to merge my arm work in
14:32
but that would require a bit of spare time
14:33* ogra was hacking up flash-kernel the whole day ... and still washing my eyes out
14:33
<ogra>
seems everyone adding code there invented a new scripting style ... fun
14:34
ltsp code seems so straight and clean compared to that
14:34
even with Gadi_eeepc's hacks :P

would you guys recommend on doing the alternate install of ubuntu ltsp, or installing ubuntu intrepid and installing ltsp from there for a single nic setup
15:24
<alkisg>
alternate - mounts the cd and saves a lot of bandwidth for ltsp-build-client
15:24
<dropally>
using the alternate build I'm having issues right out of the box
15:24
tftp and dhcp errors
15:25
maybe I got spoiled from using k12linux, it works right after the install
15:27
<vagrantc>
most ubuntu installs work right after the install too
15:27
<dropally>
ok thats good to know, I'm using virtualbox for my testbed, maybe thats my problem
15:28
<vagrantc>
it's really easy to do a 2 NIC setup with virtualbox
15:28
<dropally>
yes I've used it before
15:28
wonder what i did wrong
15:28
i didn't have any internet either
15:28
both nic's, eth0 and eth1 had the same ip
15:29
maybe since it's virtual it got mixed up having the same nic
15:30
<vagrantc>
i always set up two nics, one with "NAT" and one on an "internal" network.
15:32
<dropally>
I am trying to eliminate the "internal" network
15:32
<vagrantc>
because?
15:32
<dropally>
I have many rooms/labs to setup thin clients at
15:33
so I don't want to put a thin client server at each room or lab
15:34
my basic need is to have 1 thin client server
15:34
in the main server cabinet
15:34
the thin clients are primarily laptops with no hard drives
15:35
some users have them at one spot, some users move around

15:49
<ltspbot`>
vagrantc: "release" is please mention the linux distro and release you're using :)
15:49

palichis: you'll probably need to run ltsp-update-sshkeys and maybe ltsp-update-image

i used ubuntu8.04 alternate

ok I will try .. there, I notice as I was

evening all, I'm sucessfully running ltsp on xubuntu however I'm having problems getting local usb devices to show up. I'm following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev however am getting stuck on obtaining a text console on the ltsp client. I have set a root passwd in the ltsp chroot. Can anyone advise?

I'm trying to get local usb sticks to work on clients, then I'm going to see about sorting out sound.
18:25
sound isn't so important tho.
18:26
also, would you know why I'm getting 'Error: Ioctl/1.1a failed: Bad file descriptor' on the clients?
18:27
still seams to work ok with this error :)
18:28
thank you, your usermod command worked perfectly., any idea on this file descriptor?
18:30
<Ryan52>
ya, and then in 2038 you're gonna get really confused. :)
18:31
<Memfis>
lol, nah this is a test system, doubt it'll be arround that long. I am aiming for a full thin client lan in the near future, just wanted to see how far I could get now :)
18:35
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev Step 4.
18:35
The ldm socket's name is "ldm_socket_<vt number ldm is running on>_<ip address of server>
18:35
How do I know what vt number ldm is running on?
18:36* Ryan52 wonders if that's even accurate anymore..
18:36
<Ryan52>
which version of ubuntu?
18:36
<Memfis>
Xubuntu 8.10 I believe
18:36

I think it's changed since then.

are you logged in from the thin client?
18:38
it only works if you have a connection.
18:38
<Memfis>
sorry did you want that run on server or client?
18:38
<Ryan52>
run on the client.
18:38
<Memfis>
same result on either client or server.
18:39
<Ryan52>
please answer my question.
18:39
<Memfis>
oh, logged in, sorry didn't realise what you meant.
18:40
don't think so this time. I'll reboot.
18:40
<Ryan52>
so you're logged in to the server from the thin client?
18:40
log in as usual...
18:40
by entering your username and password into ldm.
18:40* Ryan52 is confused
18:41
<Memfis>
this pc = vista :( ssh'd to server. client next to me.
18:41
<Ryan52>
oh
18:41* Ryan52 continues to wonder how that's relevent at all....

20:32
<wortley>
Lns_ Hmm.. I got the instructions from the link you posted.
20:32
However, at the top of the page it says 8.10. Is this a major change from 8.04 to 8.10?
20:32
<Lns_>
i'm not sure..i've never tried localapps in hardy on any of my servers..
20:35
<Ryan52>
wortley: local apps is a fairly new thing..
20:35
I think it mostly started at the hackfest last summer..
20:35
which is after 8.04 was released.
20:35
(they could have updated the one in hardy, but still, if it says to use 8.10, use 8.10)
20:37
<wortley>
Ryan52 Thank you for the history. I'm new to this, so that is very helpful. I'm thinking about running mythtv as a localapp.
