Ryan52, you know from where ldm gets the list of sessions available to use for LDM_SESSION?
01:00djsmiley has joined #ltsp
01:01
<Ryan52>
ldminfo.c gets it from ldminfo.
01:02
(I think that's what you were talking about..)
01:03
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, yup, i need to get value for Name= from /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop instead of Exec that we get
01:05
<Ryan52>
ldminfo spits out session-with-name: for that reason...where do you need the list?
01:05
<cyberorg>
session_names is that what i want?
01:05
<Ryan52>
yep
01:06
<cyberorg>
rdesktop -s does not like the path, it is looking for Name instead, so if ldm.nomad , i want to use Names instead of Exec values
01:06* cyberorg has no clue how to go about doing it
01:07* Ryan52 has a feeling that cyberorg is trying to get me to do it..
01:07
<Ryan52>
cyberorg: are you sure that you need the Name and not the name of the .desktop file?
01:08
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, i tried this http://pastebin.com/d2ce70be but that does not do the trick :)
01:08
<Ryan52>
cuz the Name is sposed to be hooman readable.
01:08
and if they're relying on that, that's really...dumb.
01:08* Ryan52 feels more confused
01:09
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, here is the .desktop entry and the command that works: http://pastebin.com/d6213c829
01:09
<Ryan52>
*sigh*...weird people.
01:09
<cyberorg>
nomad is much more hooman
01:11
so you see, i've been trying my best before asking you :)
01:11
<Ryan52>
int i;
01:11
oh, wait.
01:11
hmm...lemme do this in a pastebin :)
01:12
<cyberorg>
probably we can have ldm.sessionname ?
01:12
<Ryan52>
nah, too much work.
01:12
<cyberorg>
i thought of switch/case, but all distros might have different names
01:12
<Ryan52>
ya, that's defidently bad. now gimme a minute and I'll get it figured out. :)
01:13
<cyberorg>
thanks, i knew i as asking the right person :)

cyberorg: http://slexy.org/view/s20VPo77Aw
01:21
it compiles.
01:22
that's all I can guarantee :)
01:23
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, will the my_session_name be in quotes " "? without it rdesktop fails too
01:23
<Ryan52>
in quotes? you mean passed as a single arguement?
01:23
<cyberorg>
yes
01:23
<Ryan52>
oh, oops, no, it won't.
01:23
<cyberorg>
-s "KDE 4.2" works -s KDE 4.2 does not
01:24
<Ryan52>
http://slexy.org/view/s20qoyO86L
01:24
that should work better.
01:25
<cyberorg>
ok, thanks, will test and get back :)
01:26
<Ryan52>
if it seg faults or just doesn't work, then I'll have to try to look tomorrow...my LTSP server is nuts right now, and I have stuff to do, and I should be sleeping right now. :)
01:26
<cyberorg>
ok, 'night, sleep well
01:29
<djsmiley>
hi, i have a little problem with the k12linux (yes, i know, "ask" fedora support :))
01:29
how can i install additional packages in 32bit client chroot on a 64bit server?
01:31
<Ryan52>
djsmiley: could you please explain further?
01:31* Ryan52 doesn't understand
01:32bobby_C has joined #ltsp
01:33
<djsmiley>
so, i have a fedora10 x86_64 server, with ltsp5-server packages, and i built a client with the ltsp-build-client with arch i386 option
01:34
now i want to install xorg video driver packages inside the chroot, and the package manager says:
01:34
Transaction Check Error: package xorg-x11-drv-s3virge-1.10.0-1.fc9.x86_64 is intended for a x86_64 architecture
01:34
<Ryan52>
how are you installing it? how are you chrooting?
01:34
try "linux32 chroot /opt/ltsp/i386" and doing it.
01:35* Ryan52 leaves
01:36
<djsmiley>
damit, thanks
01:36
under debian lenny this works like a charm with simple chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
01:36
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, it is now using the name that is in the preference menu, not the Name that is in the .desktop file
01:37
so basically it did same thing as the basename patch i posted
01:37
<Ryan52>
ok, what's the problem?
01:37* Ryan52 is confused
01:38
<Ryan52>
what's the difference between the name in the preferences menu and Name in the .desktop file?
01:38
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, in preference menu startkde is Name=KDE 4.2 in .desktop
01:38
<Ryan52>
wtf?
01:38
the preferences menu should say "KDE 4.2" in it as well...
01:38
<cyberorg>
preference menu seem to be doing basename(Execthing)
01:39
<Ryan52>
well it's not sposed to :P
01:39
could you please pastebin the output of ldminfod?
01:40
<cyberorg>
http://slexy.org/view/s2emNFOJoV
01:40
<Ryan52>
woah
01:41
try updating your ldminfod...
01:41
<cyberorg>
did things change in last month?
01:41
<Ryan52>
[ryan52@newbie ~]$ sudo ldminfod | grep ^session
01:41
session:/usr/bin/startkde
01:41
session-with-name:KDE:/usr/bin/startkde
01:41
cyberorg: this was an old, old change of mine..
01:41
<cyberorg>
oh
01:42
<Ryan52>
or at least, I think it was mine...
01:43
<cyberorg>
http://slexy.org/view/s2kZphIQKO
01:43
<Ryan52>
that's better :)
01:43
it should work now :)
01:43
<cyberorg>
trying :)

Ryan52, you can kick jini to keep you up from sleeping, she was supposed to get this working
01:45
Ryan52, it seems to have ignored " "
01:45
rdesktop -z -f -u geeko -p XXXXXX -s KDE 4.2 10.0.0.254
01:45
came out like that
01:46
<Ryan52>
crap.
01:46
are you sure that you used the second patch and not the first?
01:47
<cyberorg>
command = g_strjoin(" ", "rdesktop", "-z", "-f", "-u", ldm.username, "-p", ldm.password, "-s \"", my_session_name, "\" ", ldm.server, NULL);
01:47
thats the one
01:47
<Ryan52>
ok, so we're joining these arguements together into a string, and then passing it to a function which splits it again...rediculous.
01:49
ah, there's a nice little helper function for this..
01:50
cyberorg: http://slexy.org/view/s20nuMyFpE
01:50
cyberorg: try that one.
01:51

hello, i hav e aproblem with xrdp and ltsp. we have some small "chippc"s which do rdp. we want to connect them to ltsp, but when the xrdp session starts, it looks like they are in a different X environment. when i PXE boot an other machine, it looks fine (and i can configure it better). does anyone here know how to make xrdp use the same resources as a PXE booted session?
09:20Selveste1 has joined #ltsp
09:26

does that even make sense?

stgraber, cyberorg: did that patch stgraber just commit work for xrdp session selection?
11:08
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, Ryan52 did, and yes it works :)
11:09
<vagrantc>
ah, misread the email (the previous was from stgraber)
11:09
<cyberorg>
i'll create live DVD with update later today
11:09
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: do you understand *why* it worked?
11:10
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, logs here http://groups.google.com/group/proj-uron/browse_thread/thread/ff9bb1d5d0850e5c
11:10
in short -s expects Name from .desktop
11:10
not Exec
11:10
<vagrantc>
ah!
11:11
<cyberorg>
so now we have local disks, sound and session all working :)
11:11
sound with ~/.ltspvars hack
11:12
people can now switch off their terminals and resume from where they left
11:13
<vagrantc>
gotta figure out some other way for the sound variables ...
11:14
<cyberorg>
we assume users will use the same terminal most of the time
11:15
<vagrantc>
that's a big assumption
11:16
one of the feature that wins people over is that they can log in from any machine
11:16
<cyberorg>
well it should work in most cases, at least first time user logs in
11:16gentgeen__ has joined #ltsp
11:16
<vagrantc>
but depends on your environment
11:16
at any rate... it's pretty slick.

try live DVD when i am done, i've tried to make switching to nomad quite simple
11:18* vagrantc doesn't have the space for a DVD image
11:19
<cyberorg>
i am preparing a jumbo image, first one was 1.8G
11:20
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: so, what are the things that nomad handles above normal xrdp? just sound?
11:20
<cyberorg>
with LDM, sound and local disks both
11:21
i am not sure how much difference is between normal xrdp and nomad one, there is one big patch that is in suse package

good afternoon
11:28
so ... Im with 6 clients connected, (ubuntu 8.10) and the box is using 25gb of memory .... is this normal or Im missing something in the proccess?
11:28
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: well, local disks work with "normal" xrdp. obviously the sound stuff is missing.
11:29
cyberorg: well, normal xrdp + ldm with nomad patches.
11:29
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, compiz, but i dont care for it much, so haven't looked at how to get it working
11:29
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: do you have a URL to the xrdp patch(es) for nomad?
11:30
<pscheie>
maginot, 25GB of RAM?
11:30
<maginot>
pscheie, yep
11:31
<pscheie>
maginot, How much RAM have you got in the box total?
11:31
<vagrantc>
wow. most of my LTSP application servers only have 2GB of ram.
11:31
<pscheie>
Mine all have 4GB
11:32
<Lumiere>
if you've got over 4G of ram
11:32
you better be running 64bit
11:32
<maginot>
this server have 32gb ... but now I just discovery what happened
11:32
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, http://prime.cyberorg.co.in/xrdp-nomad-patch.tar.bz2
11:33
<maginot>
a miss comunication here between the personal and something turned off the server in the middle of a dd for a forense recovery and I think nc was stucked in the middle
11:33
Lumiere, I have recompiled the kernel to support high memory
11:35
I didnt know dd could use all the system resource in such a way ... impressive
11:37
<epsas>
maginot - were you using bs=1?
11:37
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: looks like it also adds support for xdmx ...
11:37
<cyberorg>
yup, you will see lot of composite and xdmx stuff
11:37
<maginot>
epsas, Hmmm to be honest I didnt set any parametrs, just if and of ... but I think the default is 512 isnt ?
11:38
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: i see a bunch of scp_session_set_wm stuff added. i'm wondering if your patch will work with plain xrdp...
11:39
<cyberorg>
maginot, you know linux caches heavily filling all available RAM? that does not mean it is using all of it
11:40
vagrantc, i am sure it does
11:40
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: i'll give it a whirl sometime...
11:48
<maginot>
cyberorg, but if memory usage rises to top isnt this going to prejudice the clients ?
11:48
Hmm
11:49
<cyberorg>
maginot, check "free -m"
11:49
<maginot>
interesting, after reaching the max memory availble it frees the memory and start filling again
11:49
<cyberorg>
maginot, used - cached = really in use
11:50
check the third line -/+ buffer/cache, that is real figure

<Lns>
Nubae1: I forget, and every time i go to view design submissions my firefox almost craps out on me =p ironyyyy!
12:57
I'm sure it's in your IRC logs though =) can-o-spam had made an announcement shortly after the contest was over
12:57
oh, and on the list
12:57
<Nubae1>
ah... well we'll see it soon enough I guess :-)
13:01
<Lns>
=) How's everything with you Nubae1 ?
13:01
Haven't chatted in a while
13:02
<ball>
Wish I had an EPROM programmer
13:02
<Nubae1>
yeah, its good... not too much to tell really... trying to get some interest for ltsp based systems + lotus server for small businesses
13:03
how bout u?
13:03
<Lns>
Nubae1: Lotus eh? My brother works a lot with that down in L.A.
13:04
Nubae1: I'm doing well, have some interesting things in the pipeline for LTSP work here in Cali (mostly targetting pri/sec edu) and getting some great contacts in the area
13:04
Note to all: Attend your local LUG meetings, you'll meet many knowledgeable people
13:05
<ball>
Lns: I don't think there is one.
13:05
<Nubae1>
yeah non here either
13:05
<ball>
I thought about setting up something informal, but I don't know.
13:05
<Nubae1>
u have it easier up there in US of A
13:05
<Lns>
you should..it's got to start somewhere
13:05
bah, nonsense. Linux is universal =)
13:06
even if people aren't into it over there, you could get people into it
13:06
<Nubae1>
well, I'm still trying to convince schools here to take the plunge, but it takes time for them to make decisions
13:06
though they are all interested
13:06
<ball>
Nubae1: where are you?
13:06
<Nubae1>
Vienna, Austria
13:06
u?
13:07
<ball>
Illinois, USA
13:07
<Lns>
schools are definitely slow moving
13:08
but it's worth the time investment, as the results are great
13:08
<ball>
Lns: somewhat, though in some ways they get to try things you wouldn't get away with in the corporate world.
13:08
(such as turning old machines into X terminals)
13:08
<Lns>
ball: exactly
13:09
<ball>
I saw a school tech job advertised recently, but it was 160 miles away
13:09
<Lns>
for instance my one school district took the plunge simply based on my recommendation as an outside consultant..took me 2 years to get 7 schools online, but it happened
13:09
<ball>
...it's not practical for me to drive 320 miles every day
13:09
<Nubae1>
Lns: u must be quite the salesman... so far I've only managed to convince 2 schools :-(
13:10
<Lns>
Nubae1: nope..i convinced the district IT director. =)
13:10
And he was already a Linux/Apple guy, so... =p
13:10
it was the easiest sale ever
13:10
<ball>
Lns: ...it doesn't hurt that MacOS X comes with an X server ;-)
13:11
<Lns>
ball: yup, though it's modified enough to make it hard to work seamlessly
13:11
What I think really helps is that if they have existing computers w/Windows/whatever on them, simply change the BIOS to boot to the network and set up an LTSP server. They can switch back and forth at their leisure
13:12
They won't feel as intimidated if they can revert to their "working" setup as things progress
13:13
<Nubae1>
yeah thats really true
13:13
thats the sales pitch for small businesses too
13:13
no need to change everything
13:14
<Lns>
yeah... get them used to the idea mentally
13:14
<ball>
Lns: how difficult is it to set up an LTSP server though?
13:15
<Lns>
ball: not difficult at all. It's an install option on Ubuntu Alternate CD
13:16rjune has quit IRC
13:16
<ball>
Lns: if I have an Ubuntu Server box with two NICs, can I have it serve terminals on one interface and connect to the Internet on the other?
13:16
<Lns>
ball: sure
13:16
ball: you can also do a 1-NIC setup, just depends on how you want the topology to flow
13:17
<ball>
I would rather go with two Ethernets, to keep the terminal data off the general LAN
13:17
What's the first document I should read to learn about setting this up?

13:19

Okay, because I was hoping to use Xfce, with the normal Xfce desktop, not the Xubuntuised one.
13:20

Lns, busy ... nearing release :)
13:21
<ball>
I suppose I could try Gnome
13:21
...for the purposes of this exercise.
13:21
<Lns>
ogra: nice. Those things just keep popping out like. every 6 months or something! =p
13:22
<ogra>
thats an illusion :)
13:22
truth is we're all slackers and only change the color ;)
13:22
<Lns>
ball: nothing wrong with using xfce
13:22
<ogra>
nobody notices :P
13:23
<Lns>
ogra: =p~ yeah I finally saw Jaunty a couple weeks ago, the bootsplash was different..i was all "ooooo!" haha
13:23
besides the fact that everything worked much better :)
13:23
<Nubae1>
yeah new login screen is kinda nifty
13:23
<ogra>
yeah its a lot new bling
13:24
<Lns>
I definitely like the artists doing the work a lot. Every release looks great, and it doesn't change drastically at all (COUGHwindowsCOUGH)
13:25
<ogra>
yeah, we have a bunch of new teams ...
13:25
design ... desktop experience ... usability ...
13:28
<Lns>
I kinda wish the compiz advanced settings were installed by default but that's such a small thing...i couldn't think of anything else that I had to do manually =p

Does LTSP support Xvideo?
13:29
...perhaps only on cards with video hardware?

I forget who asked yesterday regarding multi-head LTSP clients... but here's the article I was looking for that talked about it in Ubu Jaunty: http://www.stgraber.org/2009/03/31/ltsp-past-and-future

hello all, i'm using ubuntu intrepid and installed ltsp using the standard procedure (aptitude install ltsp-server-standalone. the server boots fine, i can get to it via xdmcp and ssh, no problems. when i pxe boot with my client, it gets the kernel image and begins to boot normally, i get to the ubuntu splash screen and then it freezes. if i check the daemon.log on the server, i can find the follwowing: nbd_server[xxxx]: Read failed: Inappropriate ioctl for de
14:02
i also tried using nfs, but got another error. i'm intending to use nbd, so i didn't bother with that at all
14:03
<vagrantc>
the nbd_server error is probably a red herring
14:03
_fang: try disabling the splash screen by editing /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
14:04
<_fang>
okay. i'll try to boot

but won't go past it

what's up with the geodes?
14:14
<vagrantc>
some of the geode chipsets are not well supported by recent versions of X.org
14:14* vagrantc just got a geode thin client yesterday ... just need to upgrade the ram to see if it works at all
14:14

hmmm
14:14
so, there's a chance that it won't work at all??

14:55
<_fang>
yes. and also used some parts of the link you sent to enable root access and try to find some hints. i got the fb0 stuff, trying to google to find something, but maybe if someone else knows some pointers ;)
14:56
maybe setting vesa on the boot lines?

Thanks. I'll have a look at those.
15:29
<Lns>
_fang: do you have -updates enabled??
15:29
<_fang>
vagrantc: i'll ask something based on what jhai1 asked. is it possible to use something like a webcam or those fingerprint scanners on a client?

<jrock2004>
is there a way I can switch what window manager is set to by default?

15:31
<_fang>
vagrantc: ok! i'll try it later. one thing at a time xD
15:32
<vagrantc>
ltsp5 is essentially running whatever distro you're running on the server. so if it's possible to run on a standalone machine, it should be possible to run on ltsp.
15:32
<_fang>
only if it was that simple xD
15:32rjune has joined #ltsp

_fang: it's simple, you just have to know how it all works together =)
15:33

that's the point. sometimes i really get lost
15:34
<Guest23642>
I'll rebuild the client see if that works
15:35
<_fang>
this is the first i'm trying ltsp with ubuntu and geodes. i used to do it a lot with debian and some old pentium machines. never really bothered me. but now.........
15:35
<Lns>
_fang: the more you work with it the easier it gets. It's not all that complex, it's just visualizing the big picture
15:38
<_fang>
yup! i'm trying as hard as i can! hehe i learned quite a bit with debian. it was much easier to start with ubuntu because of that
15:38
<Lns>
note to self: never underestimate the flexibility of 'ssh -X'

cyberorg, Ryan52: that last patch definitely breaks working with xrdp entirely, at least for my setup. it seems like rdesktop fails to run at all and/or exits, and it just hangs during login, with the cursor spinning...

how does the client know what resolution to boot in?
