Bad username or password can cause that.

<yoshi_>
question: can i get any problems if i upgrade my basis ltsp server from 8.10 ubuntu to 9.04
07:12
<pmatulis>
yoshi_: are you having any trouble with 8.10?
07:12
<yoshi_>
no not at all
07:13
everything is working fine except sabayon
07:13
<pmatulis>
yoshi_: are there any features you need that 9.04 will give you?
07:13
<yoshi_>
but that is a know bug
07:13
ext4 i thought
07:13alkisg has joined #ltsp
07:13
<ogra>
yoshi_, follow the normal upgrade procedure for the server side (update-manager etc), move your old chroot out of the way and run an ltsp-build-client to create a new image
07:14
that should be all
07:14
ext4 is not stable enough that you should use it in production
07:14
<yoshi_>
so the new chroot env has a new kernel with better hw support correct ?
07:15
<ogra>
that and it has changes that only apply at build time of the image ... which is why you should rebuilt it
07:15
<yoshi_>
ok nice
07:16
its because i read some problems with graphics if upgrading
07:16
<ogra>
the intel driver has some issues
07:16
<yoshi_>
but thats fixable ?
07:16
<ogra>
its listed somewhere in the release notes
07:16
it mainly manifests after suspend/resume on laptops
07:17
and you might have slowness issues with compiz
07:17
the first isnt really relevant on thin clients :)
07:17
<yoshi_>
ltsp is great but what is really misses is something like sabayon or the functionalitity to easy manage preferences for users en policies and priviliges
07:17
<ogra>
and the second only if you plan to enforce using compiz
07:17
<yoshi_>
i disabled compiz for use on thin clients
07:17
so that doesn't matter
07:17
<ogra>
then it should be fine ...
07:18
<yoshi_>
o we got another question dough:
07:18
<ogra>
just keep your old chroot and img around ... then you can revert easily
07:18
<yoshi_>
currently we are building implementation for use in a school with 140 computers
07:19
and running flash firefox and some other programs locally
07:19litlebuda has joined #ltsp
07:19
<yoshi_>
but we want to replace the big boxes
07:19
with small clients
07:19
<ogra>
how small ?
07:19
<yoshi_>
wich thin client you propose for running apps also localy
07:19
i was lookin into wyse terminals
07:20
or building ourselfs with atom matx boards maybe
07:20
<ogra>
using localapps with less than 256M and 500MHz wont work well (i would even recommend 512M and 1GHz)
07:20
<yoshi_>
1ghz at least yes
07:20
<ogra>
right, ATOM boxes will be fine
07:20
just put enough ram in
07:20
<yoshi_>
well than i was thinking on these EE pc's from asus
07:21
but seems there are problems also with it
07:21
<ogra>
they will be perfectly fine
07:22
<yoshi_>
Asus Nettop Eee Box B202
07:22
something like this works fine with ltsp ?
07:23
<ogra>
i have no experience with them but i would expect them to work fine
07:23
<yoshi_>
ok we will order one to test it :)
07:23
<ogra>
i know there are a bunch of people that use EEEs (though not the nettops) with ltsp
07:23
<yoshi_>
thank ogra for the help already :)
07:24
<ogra>
and if you look at disklessworkstations.com you will see that their main procudt has similar specs ...
07:24vvinet has quit IRC
07:24
<ogra>
and i know _UsUrPeR_ did a lot of testing with it
07:24
so that should work with jaunty
07:24* _UsUrPeR_ 's ears are burning
07:25
<yoshi_>
i notice them
07:25
the one with the atom cpu
07:25
and the via cpu
07:25
<ogra>
_UsUrPeR_, you guys really need to get rid of these e1000's
07:26
<yoshi_>
the smartcard reader is also a nice feature
07:26* ogra assumes the support costs these generate smart out the money you can make by selling them
07:26
<yoshi_>
anyone has experiance with that ? so if a user puts in his smartcard he gets logged into his desktop
07:27
<ogra>
no, ldm is missing support for it yet
07:27
you can probably hack something up for it though
07:27
<Bushmills>
yoshi_, compare the eeepc and the acer aspire one, also a netbook, about same specs. much better screen, at least compared to older eeepcs. i don't know about the most recents ones, whether they come with improved displays
07:27
<_UsUrPeR_>
ogra: believe me, we're trying to :)
07:28
<ogra>
heh
07:28
Bushmills, well, he was talking about nettops, not netbooks :) the former usually come without displays
07:28
<_UsUrPeR_>
fwiw, I have heard that they will run win98 off a flash drive... competantly
07:28
<Bushmills>
(and the aspire have 2 smart card readers. one for permanent flash extension, the other as removable storage
07:29
<ogra>
_UsUrPeR_, i run mine as a router (jammcq gave me one years ago) ...
07:29
<Bushmills>
oh, sry
07:29
<ogra>
_UsUrPeR_, it takes 4mins to boot to a cmdline
07:29
(from CF card)
07:29
<yoshi_>
Bushmills: thanks but i was indeed in the need for nettops and not books :)
07:29
<ogra>
works fine for the purpose once its up though
07:30
<_UsUrPeR_>
Yeah, we tend to point people looking for text-based terminals towardf those
07:30
<ogra>
single app kiosk setups could also work
07:31
i know jim used them for database form apps
07:32
<Bushmills>
yoshi_ do you know about the ndiyo slim client?
07:32
aka thin client
07:33
<yoshi_>
nope
07:33
<Bushmills>
http://www.ndiyo.org/systems looked interesting, a while back.
07:34
<yoshi_>
oo yes i read about that
07:34
but it's again a solution build on top of the already free solutions :)
07:35
if ltsp keep evolving it will becom a nice alternative of terminal services
07:35
and also very usefull in the coorperate enviroment
07:35
i believe
07:41
<Bushmills>
here's a video which does away with the thin client altogether: http://www.ndiyo.org/files/hubster/hubster.mp4
07:44
<_UsUrPeR_>
ogra: so what makes you say we need to get rid of those?
07:46
<yoshi_>
bushmills that is a good solution in a computer lab or so but not for us because we need to go over ip
07:55
<ogra>
_UsUrPeR_, they are simply to underpowered

08:20* Bushmills runs an atom N270 in the mainly used machine, and disagrees with "underpowered"
08:21
<Bushmills>
they may not be good for all tasks. video encoding is slower than real time, for example.

Good Morning
09:05
Gadi if you're around, upgrading to jaunty and install ltspfs worked very well
09:07
<Gadi>
treyh: good to hear. worked very well = in ldm and rdesktop?
09:07
<treyh>
yes sir
09:07
<Gadi>
cool
09:07
cdrom and USB both?
09:07
<treyh>
the only thing that it did that was weird
09:07
Gadi: yes
09:08* Gadi awaits the "but"
09:08
<Gadi>
:)
09:08
<treyh>
on the usb stick, after I removed it, it didn't remove the folder out of drives on ltsp
09:08
but no biggie
09:08
<Gadi>
hmm...
09:08
<treyh>
I didn't try to duplicate it
09:08
or test it
09:09
but I will today if I get a chance to upgrade this customer's ltsp box
09:09
<Gadi>
ok
09:09
thx
09:09
<treyh>
np
09:09
<Gadi>
devil's in the details
09:09
<treyh>
i think most normal users wouldn't notice but teachers are extremly picky lol
09:10
<Gadi>
well, dev's don't like the quirks either :)
09:10
usually speaks to something under the surface
09:11
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi/treyh: About the removal of mounted USB drives from the desktop, I had the same thing happen to me.
09:11
removing worked the second time around though
09:11
<Gadi>
oh yeah? in ldm?
09:11
<_UsUrPeR_>
ubuntu 9.04 in ldm, yes
09:11
<Gadi>
hmm...
09:11
interesting...
09:12
<_UsUrPeR_>
after a server reboot I tried again. It worked that time
09:12* Gadi strokes long mythical grey beard
09:12
<treyh>
in ldm mine always removed
09:12
but in rdesktop it didn't
09:13
I'll double check today though hopefully, have a boring sales meeting this morning, about a phone system lol

hi, during boot clients spend a lot of time "populating /dev" and then with messages like "hdc no response, status 0x0A, resetting driver" and then the same for hdd. What am I doing wrong? this way it takes very long to boot (2 minutes)
09:48
(thin clients without local storage)
09:53
<Gadi>
markit: is there a cdrom?
09:53
IDE cdrom
09:53
that is
09:54
if not, go into the BIOS and disable your IDE bus entirely
09:54
that may help
09:57
<_UsUrPeR_>
I has anyone made a good writeup for ltsp-localapps implementation yet? With permanent natting and IP forward and everything?

_UsUrPeR_: NATting is explained there: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinClientHowtoNAT
10:13

thats pretty outdated
10:13
there should be as doc based on ufw
10:14
<_UsUrPeR_>
ogra: ufw?
10:14

the firewall ubuntu ships by default

kind of futile, given the revision history of wikis.. =p

fs001, you might have to wait til you can talk to vagrantc
11:53
<Lns>
fs001: have you read the documentation regarding setting up localdev ?
11:54
<cliebow>
i am still in 4.2..so no..
11:54
<fs001>
ya
11:54
<staffencasa>
it's something like /localdev in the lts.conf file
11:55
<Gadi>
fs001: you may need lenny-backports version of ltspfs/ltspfsd
11:55
<fs001>
I have created lts.conf and added the line LOCALDEV=True
11:55* Gadi seems to recall someone saying that here
11:55
<cliebow>
or Gadi might be a help 8~)
11:55
<Gadi>
well, vagrantc would be the authority
11:55
:)
11:55
I am just relaying what I have heard in the channel
11:57
<Lns>
fs001: are your users part of the 'fuse' group? (is that applicable to debian?)
11:57
<fs001>
the user which I tried exists in fuse group
11:58
<Lns>
fs001: have you checked the client's logs for clues?
11:59
<fs001>
which log? /var/log/syslog in client?
12:01lucascoala has quit IRC

12:13

At least when you're already on a text tty..

firefox is crashing on ltsp clients
12:48
it's a problem
12:48* _UsUrPeR_ touches that with a 40-foot pole
12:49
<_UsUrPeR_>
ahmuck: care to elaborate?
12:49
<Ahmuck>
firefox is randomly crashing. happens with adobe flash more often
12:51
<_UsUrPeR_>
Ahmuck: What environment are you running LTSP in? Also, tell me about your clients. What version of flash do you presently have installed?
12:52GodFather has joined #ltsp
12:53
<Ahmuck>
ubuntu
12:54
latest flash
12:54
ubuntu 9.04
13:01alkisg has joined #ltsp
13:03
<Lns>
Ahmuck: just FF crashing, or the whole TC session?
13:05
<Ahmuck>
just firefox
13:05
upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 ltsp to ubuntu 9.04 ltsp
13:05
<Lns>
Ahmuck: and only when using flash?
13:06
or "mostly" ?
13:06
<Ahmuck>
on the clients. on the server it's fine, unless a client crashes, and then it appears to crashe all opened browsers
13:06
mostly. not entirely
13:06
<Lns>
weird
13:06* Lns remembers something about this in hardy a while back that had to do w/entropy, but was a different situation
13:07
<Lns>
Ahmuck: have you done the firefox optimizations described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/Firefox3Optimize ?
13:08
Some of that "safe browsing" malarkey might be hosing stuff, i dunno..
13:08
Who knows what's broken in the global ff prefs in jaunty though, seems like every release something else doesn't work correctly there
13:08* Lns curses not being able to easily set default homepage for everyone through firefox.js
13:15* Blinny curses not being able to set bidi.browser.ui through firefox.js
13:16* Blinny curses not being able to set persistent print_header* and print_footer* settings through firefox.js
13:16* Blinny curses firefox.js
13:16* Lns wonders if firefox-gnome-support could help these issues
13:17ajohnson has quit IRC
13:17
<Blinny>
ubufox or whatever is what is screwing w/ bidi.browser.ui
13:17
Lns: What do you mean re: firefox-gnome-support ?
13:18
<Lns>
Blinny: well, at least if you use gnome, maybe firefox-gnome-support could incorporate some gconf magic to take care of what firefox.js barfs up on the floor
13:19

You know, once you see the potential of it, it's really pretty nice to have. And it's definitely not anything like the windows registry/regedit - much, much simpler, cleaner, and extensible
13:23
Of course, I'd much rather have the FF team fix the bugs in their global configs,...
13:23
but I get the feeling from them that the code is so buried and scattered that it wouldn't be worth trying
13:26
<Blinny>

Lns, sudo gedit /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10/defaults/profile/user.js
13:36
and insert: user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com/");
13:37
<Lns>
alkisg: that gets overwritten on every update, no?
13:37
<alkisg>
No, that's prefs.js
13:37
I don't think user.js gets overwritten
13:38
<Lns>
hrm, that might work then...have you done that w/success?
13:40
<alkisg>
Works, but I'm not sure about the updates thing
13:41
<vagrantc>
if "dpkg -S /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10/defaults/profile/user.js" shows it belonging to a package, it'll get overwritten.
13:42
<alkisg>
That file doesn't exists, it's user-created, but when firefox gets updated I don't know if it transfers it to the new firefox-3.0.x directory...
13:42
<Blinny>
.../profile is a symlink to /etc/firefox-*
13:44
I don't think user.js works
13:44
<vagrantc>
ah, if profile is a symlink to /etc/, you should be set.
13:44
<alkisg>
I've just tried with the ubuntu guest session, it works for me.
13:45
<vagrantc>
presuming it works, of course :)
13:45
<Blinny>
Hrm. I've just tried and no worky for me :(
13:45* alkisg has 9.04
13:46* Blinny has 8.04.2
13:46
<Blinny>
Damn.
13:46
<Lns>
here's a weird question that's cropped up a few times in school environments..is there a way to lock down permissions for users so that they can't *change* them (i.e. to try and lock out other users who have permissions via acl or similar), regardless of whether they own the files or not?
13:46
<Blinny>
alkisg: painful/less upgrade to 9.04 ?
13:47
Lns: you could always wrap chown
13:47
<alkisg>
I've only tried upgrading once, from 7.10 to 8.04 (and it broke), ever since then I install from scratch
13:47
<Blinny>
alkisg: Preserving /home or ..?
13:48
<alkisg>
Yes, i've even made a small script to transfer the users
13:48
<Blinny>
I'm more worried about some esoteric .local or .metacity or .gnome2 something that causes problems when suddenly loaded in Jaunty.
13:49
<Lns>
Blinny: good idea. though i'm not sure if nautilus uses chown specifically
13:49
or chmod, etc
13:49
<alkisg>
I got a small problem with the panels (the new fusa icon) so I had to call gconftool-2 for all users to erase the panel settings
13:50
*not with 9.04, that was with 8.10
13:50
*with 9.04 I don't think I had any problems with local user settings
13:50
<Lns>
it'd be cool if gnome/gconf was smart enough to detect a (drastic) version change and automatically back up previous settings
13:51
or ask the user "do you want to attempt to update your current settings, or start over?"
13:51
<alkisg>
Here's a one-liner to change the start page, that works for me: echo 'user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.gr/");' | sudo tee /etc/firefox-*/profile/user.js
13:52
<Lns>
alkisg: nice, thanks =)
13:52
<alkisg>
But it's a "default" setting, not a mandatory one
13:53
<Lns>
alkisg: sure...you could probably change that w/ 'user_lockPref' or whichever is correct, right?
13:53
<alkisg>
Is there such a thing? /me looks...
13:53
<Lns>
yep
13:54* Lns isn't sure if lockPref is available in all config files though
13:54
<Lns>
anyway i'm out to save the world by installing a soundcard in the ltsp server so kids can hear sound through rdesktop. =p
13:54
crazy ms tactics
13:55
<treyh>
Lns: you tried using local sound?
13:55
<Lns>
treyh: whta do you mean?
13:56
<treyh>
Lns: on the rdesktop command add -r sound:local:alsa
13:56
I believe it uses local sound on the client to be redirected to rdesktop
13:56zlirp has left #ltsp
13:56
<Lns>
treyh: i've done '-r sound:local' -- is sound:local:alsa supposed to emulate a sound card in windows? the windows apps themselves seem to require a sound card/driver to work
13:57
treyh: i think you need both an audio chipset and the '-r sound:local'
13:57GodFather has quit IRC
13:58
<treyh>
if the client has audio hardware, it should work
13:58
<Lns>
treyh: hmm. are you sure?
13:58
<treyh>
all my clients are rdesktoping into a TS on vmware that has no sound card
13:59
<Lns>
hmm, that's my setup too.
13:59
how does adding :alsa (i've seen :oss too) change things? I wrap my rdesktop command w/padsp
14:00
Well i'll test it while i'm out there..thanks for the tip treyh =)
14:00
<treyh>
lns: I think just sound:local tries to automatically specific a driver
14:00
using alsa or oss specifies which to use
14:00
but remember
14:00
the client, must have working sound hardware
14:01
Lns: no problem, let me know if it doesn't work
14:10
Lns: if you're still around, forgot to tell you to also add this to lts.conf
14:10
SOUND = false
14:19* alkisg just tried putting lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.alkisg.com/"); in /etc/firefox-*/prefs/user.js (that's a different location - lockPref didn't work in ../profile) and it worked fine, now all users have a locked homepage!!! :)

wondered if some of you implemented LTSP to run multimedia applications much like French classes
15:33
<treyh>
you mean like videos
15:33
?
15:33
Goldeneyes: like an application that will teach French Class?
15:35
<Goldeneyes>
treyh yes videos and sound
15:36
<epsas>
maybe Rosetta under WINE?
15:36
<Goldeneyes>
treyh: Yes will teach frensch class
15:40
I already have the application but this is for Windows, what I want is to implement a laboratory with 25 terminals and running this application, multimedia (video and sound), but my question is whether the performance of LTSP handle or have much traffic on the network
15:42
<_UsUrPeR_>
someone mind reviewing my ufw tables to tell me why localapps is not working properly?

I'm trying to make it so you'll never have to :)

I'm actually very familiar with firewalls, spend a lot of time with openbsd's packet filter and freebsd's IPF
15:51

it's weird to me how you enable commands but they aren't saved unless you put them in a file

Hi. Someone was helping me yesterday with getting a graphics on a client working. I now have it working (I changed the old CRT screen for a newer flatscreen). Now, when I move the mouse I get lines (looks like interference) across the screen. I tried using the tool in Ubuntu to detect the monitor but it says it is unknown. Can anyone help?

18:33
It works fine for me - all my thin clients have sound chipsets. using '-r sound:local' OR '-r sound:local:oss' seems to work fine... I just took oss out
18:33
I had no idea rdesktop could redirect so many things, pretty nifty

Anyone know if you can disable sound in Ubuntu LTSP for specific users only?
18:37
It looks lke the whole 'audio' group thing is depreciated as none of the users are a member but all still get sound on the TC
