Everybody: is it good idea if I and a hungarian ltsp admin have a tutor session here tomorrow 21.5 GMT 9 - 12 about my howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/OpenLDAP_NFS_SSL?

Everybody: We both have basic setup with two server machines and try to take every step on that howto. My real question is this: Will we produce too much noise/spam - should we go somewhere else (example: #ltsp-howto)?
00:41
Everybody: Why here? Here is pastebot, Nubae records everything and YOU are here ;-) Let me know - thumbs up or down ;-)
00:43
<cyberorg>
asmok, it is always a good idea to do something that keeps the channel buzzing ;)

11:01
<syn>
just curious, but is thin client manager still actively developed?
11:02
hello
11:02
<nubae>
syn: no
11:02
use italc instead
11:02
it does what manager used to do and much more
11:03
if u want an easy way to manage your config scripts, take a look at easy ltsp
11:04
<syn>
actually I was going to start modifying the tcm code to do more stuff
11:04
because italc seems pretty unstable on ubuntu
11:06
so you use italc and easy ltsp together?
11:07
<DarKnesS_WolF>
nubae: hello
11:08
<nubae>
hi DarKnesS_WolF
11:08
<DarKnesS_WolF>
nubae: how is everything with ltsp :)?
11:08
the lab i did setup like few months ago works perfectly now also i am using LDAP / NFS home / LTSP over NFS and each are running seprated
11:09
but sometime i face slow in the perforamce
11:09
also i am using fatclient, but in this case i am still using the memory from the big / main machine that hosts the LTSP
11:11
<nubae>
thats gerat, unfortunately I've not had time to play with fatclient on jaunty so there are bound to be problems. Still, if u look at my website, people have posted fixes for whatever was not working (may eveb have been you)

nubae: i am not upgraded to jaunty yet
11:26
<treyh>
DarKnesS_WolF: whats your problem and what are you running
11:27
<DarKnesS_WolF>
treyh: no problem appers yet but sometimes things are very slow in 8.10 for some unknowen reason,
11:27
also i find that the fat client not useing there memory they are using the HOST LTSP machine memory which might be why things getting slow.
11:28
<treyh>
DarKnesS_WolF: what are you server and client specs
11:28
<nubae>
hmmm it should only be using some of the ltsp server memory
11:28
most of it should be locally used
11:28
u could try turning on local swap
11:28
ie, make it do swapping to the local harddrive if there is one
11:29
<treyh>
nubae: I wouldn't enable swappning, install local apps
11:29
<nubae>
across the network, I'd turn it and logging off, as it does more damage than good
11:29
<treyh>
that will take the load off the server
11:29
<nubae>
hes running fatclient
11:29
<treyh>
if the system is slow, the server probably isn't up to par
11:29
<nubae>
the load is alreay off the server
11:29
<DarKnesS_WolF>
treyh: clients are xeon 8 corse 8 GIG memory
11:29
my server is a virtual image running 2 cores and 4 GB memory :)
11:29
<nubae>
the clients???
11:30
<DarKnesS_WolF>
nubae: when i do top / htop i find the memory are 4 not hte 8
11:30
<treyh>
DarKnesS_WolF: I know nubae said you have fat clients, are the clients pxe booting?
11:30
<DarKnesS_WolF>
yep
11:30
over NFS
11:30
no img
11:30
<treyh>
ok so it's doing nfs instead of nbd
11:30
is it slow using the applications or booting or both/
11:30
?
11:32
<DarKnesS_WolF>
using __some applications__
11:33
takes some time like 2 mints to get the desktop after login
11:34bencrisford__ has joined #ltsp

<treyh>
DarKnesS_WolF: what distro you using, ubuntu or debian?
11:35bencrisford_ has quit IRC
11:36
<epsas>
Darkness_Wolf - I am getting that problem with debian ltsp
11:36
i suspect it is the xlib error that is causing the problem
11:37
the "taking two minutes for desktop to load after login"
11:37
<Gadi>
is there a delay in getting a prompt when you ssh into the server?
11:38
<epsas>
no
11:38
<Gadi>
is the desktop gnome?
11:38
<epsas>
yes
11:38
maybe it is time to 'frontport' the xlib library
11:39litlebuda has quit IRC
11:41
<treyh>
what xlib error does it give you
11:43
<DarKnesS_WolF>
treyh: ubuntu
11:43
Gadi: nop
11:43
for me no errors
11:43
<treyh>
DarKnesS_WolF: why are you using nfs with Ubuntu?
11:43Lns has joined #ltsp
11:43
<treyh>
DarKnesS_WolF: wait, are you using vbox?
11:44
<nubae>
he's using fatclients
11:44
fatclients mount /home via nfs
11:44
<treyh>
nubae: let him answer
11:44
DarKnesS_WolF: on the server, is it virtualized or not, thats the point i'm getting to
11:44
<nubae>
I'm just letting u know how fatclient works since I wrote it...
11:45
<treyh>
nubae: I understand you are just trying to help, so m ai
11:45
*so am I
11:46* Lns doesn't think he's ever seen an argument regarding who gets to help someone on irc..heh
11:47
<treyh>
lol
11:48
I think someone is over eager to help, which is cool, but at some point you have to let others help
11:50
<cyberorg>
treyh, you just asked the guy who wrote fatclient to shut up :)
11:51
<treyh>
cyberorg: I never said shutup, but he kept answering my questions towards Dark
11:51
<syn>
whois nubae
11:52
sorry
11:52
<treyh>
syn: apparently he wrote the fatclient nfs stuff
11:52
which I appreciate
11:52
nubae: no hard feelings
11:52
<Lns>
what's up syn
11:52
<treyh>
but at some point, have to let someone else answer their own questions
11:52
<syn>
Lns: hey
11:53
<Lns>
well i guess it's a lot better than nobody responding to people asking questions =p
11:56
<treyh>
I am glad ppl like to help, I like to help, maybe you shouldn't answer for someone else over and over, he thought I was questioning nfs but really I'm looking at virtualization issues
11:57
I guess i won't spend hours in here each day helping people if i an
11:57
*can

funny... ANYWAY.... DarKnesS_WolF, I am going to try and get some time in the next couple days to see whats with fatclient for jaunty so people can upgrade it
12:23
In any case on the forums on my site I believe there are people who have already done the fixes to be able to make it work

<richard_parker_v>
We just upgraded our ltsp server from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. Solved several problems (good) but we no longer have sound at the clients (bad). Is this just us or a problem others are having and does anyone have any ideas on fixing? We haven't really dug into the problem yet because I first wanted to see if it was a typical problem which might be easily solved.
13:16
<alkisg>
richard_parker_v: are the users in the audio group?
13:17
That's the only problem I had with sound with 9.04, I had to remove the users from the audio group.
13:18* Gadi wonders what ever happened to the ancient art of mime?
13:18
<Gadi>
where is the mime's place in the computing world of tomorrow?
13:19
must be in email
13:19
:P
13:19
tough crowd today
13:20
yo mama's thin client's so fat when she runs vista she blocks the view
13:20
<richard_parker_v>
alkisg: I hadn't checked the audio group before--the answer, unfortunately, is that they are inconsistently in the audio group. The audio group includes pulse and some, but not all of the users. We're having the same problem seemingly regardless of the user.
13:21
Gadi: There are points of the situation which are nicer; it is quieter around here.
13:21
<Gadi>
:)
13:21
so, richard_parker_v, did you rebuild the chroot after the upgrade?
13:23
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: yes. Does the intrepid client even work if the server is jaunty? We didn't bother to find out. Just rebuilt everything.
13:23
<Gadi>
hehe
13:23
so, are you near a thin client we can debug?
13:24
or are you just scoping for the easy fix
13:24
:)
13:24
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: both
13:24
<Gadi>
hehe
13:24
ur high maintenance ;)
13:24
well, let's debug and see if there is an easy fix
13:25
<rjune>
!g
13:25
<ltspbot>
rjune: "g" is Gadi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13:25* Gadi waves to rjune
13:25
<Gadi>
rjune: we're gonna make sound work again
13:25
wanna play along?
13:25
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: please...
13:25
<rjune>
Oooo, it's been a while.
13:26
<Gadi>
richard_parker_v: can you get a shell on the client?
13:26
any which way you prefer
13:26
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: ltsp-localapps xterm
13:26
<Gadi>
that'll do
13:27
in the xterm, type: alsamixer
13:27
or, better: alsamixer -c0
13:27
tho, on ubuntu, I imagine both work the same
13:28
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: among other things, Pulseaudio states that is it unable to connect (connection refused)
13:28
<Gadi>
are you sure that is a localapps xterm?
13:29
oh, try: alsamixer -c0
13:29
gotta make sure it uses the soundcard
13:30
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: doesn't like "-c0" -- I get "wrong -c argument" Though it looks like it is supposed to be the card #. I tried "-c 0" and that didn't work either. Hmm.
13:30
<Gadi>
how about: amixer -c0
13:31
if that doesn't work, my guess is the jaunty kernel and your soundcard do not like each other
13:31
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: i get 'invalid card number'
13:31
<Gadi>
yup
13:31
thats the problem
13:31
all clients are same?
13:32
same hardware, that is?
13:32mistik1 has quit IRC
13:32
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: lspci shows Creative labs CA0106 Soundblaster. It worked under 8.10. Is this because the 9.04 drivers are not quite up to speed yet?
13:33
Gadi: No, not all the clients are the same, but I haven't tried all users on all clients and alkisg's solution might work on some.
13:33
<Gadi>
well, one solution at a time
13:33
:)
13:34
in the xterm, do: lsmod|grep snd
13:34
so you can see the various sound modules that loaded
13:35
<richard_parker_v>
it does look like "snd_ca0106" is loaded
13:37
<Gadi>
and do yousee a card0 if you do: ls /proc/asound
13:38treyh has joined #ltsp
13:39
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: /proc/asound includes card0 and a symlink from CA0106 to card0
13:39
<Gadi>
ah, so the module is good
13:39
I wonder why amixer -c0 failed
13:40
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: /proc/asound/cards indicates cad 0 is the CA0106; gives irq and memory address which looks okay. I don't know why amixer and alsamixer aren't working as expected, but it may be related to the core problem.
13:41

13:41
seems some have had issues with pulseaudio and that card
13:41
is pulseaudio running?
13:41
ps -efw|grep pulse
13:41
in that xterm
13:42
<richard_parker_v>
no
13:42
forgot to check simple things...
13:43
<Gadi>
it seems pulseaudio is dying with that card
13:43intelliant has quit IRC
13:43
<Gadi>
is that user in the audio group?
13:43
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: no
13:44Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC
13:44
<Gadi>
perhaps you can try running pulseaudio in the xterm
13:44
hmm
13:44
then you may get permissions errors if you try running pulseaudio by hand
13:44
pulseaudio -vvv
13:44
that is
13:45
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: yes. complaint that i'm not in the pulse-rt group.
13:45
<Gadi>
hmm
13:45
well, we know the issue
13:46
we just need a fix
13:46
:)
13:46
what if you type just: amixer
13:46
without the -c0
13:46
does that work?
13:47
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: no, unable to connect (connection refused)
13:47
<Gadi>
that may be permissions
13:47
do this:
13:48
add that user to the audio group
13:48
log out of ldm
13:48
log back in
13:48
and get the xterm back
13:48
that way, we can at least verify that alsa is okey dokey
13:48
and that the issue is only with pulse
13:50
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: By the way, when I ran pulseaudio -vvv it couldn't find two modules under /usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules: module-gconf.so and module-hal-detect.so Don't the ltsp clients use hal for the hardware layer?
13:50
<Gadi>
indeed they do, but not sure if pulse needs them or not
13:51
lets see what package those are from
13:51nubae has quit IRC
13:51
<Gadi>
pulseaudio-module-gconf, pulseaudio-module-hal,
13:52
I suppose for completeness, you can install those in your chroot
13:55
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: on another client with a different sound care (NEC PowerVR); I'm getting similar results: pulse is not running. But it's a bit worse: no /proc/asound directory. This is an older card, so I guess I'm not surprised...
13:56
<Gadi>
sounds like the new kernel is not doing you any favors
13:56
:)
13:56Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp
13:56
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: I'll get those modules installed in the chroot and see where we go. And I'll take the users in and out of the audio group and see if that makes any difference.
13:56
<Gadi>
I would say keep them in the audio group
13:57nubae has joined #ltsp
13:57
<Gadi>
dunno why taking them out would do anything
13:57
<alkisg>
Gadi, if the users are in the audio group, any change they do in the mixer affects the server
13:57
I.e. a student changes the volume of the server speakers
13:57
<Gadi>
thats bizarre
13:58
<alkisg>
The mixer shows the server sound card if the user is in the audio group
13:58
<richard_parker_v>
Gadi: new kernel: perhaps, but it solves other problems, so we'll just figure out the sound problem. I'll look at the forums reference as well.

Hey Gang - I've got jaunty ltsp server, and it's working well. However I can't "unlock" the panel for adding users.
14:03
<alkisg>
Gadi, I'll have more time to debug it in the summer, and the audio group hack works around it, so I left it for now...
14:04* Gadi nods
14:04
<alkisg>
Mip5: "panel for adding users" => you mean users-admin?
14:04
<richard_parker_v>
alkisg and Gadi: Thank you for your help. I'm going to bounce out now and reboot this client to see if I can make progress. Thanks.
14:04
<Gadi>
cheers
14:05
dont play any sounds I wouldnt!
14:05
<Mip5>
alkisg - yes, sorry about - users-admin
14:06
<alkisg>
You mean that the unlock button is disabled?
14:06
<Mip5>
alkisg - yes, it's grayed, and I can't unlock it by clicking it

How did you run it?
14:07
<Mip5>
from System->administration, but I've also tried launching it from the terminal
14:08dtrask has left #ltsp
14:09
<alkisg>
Can you run `id` from the users that you run it with, and upload the result?
14:09
<Mip5>
alkisg - alright, I was logging in from a thin client, and I *thought* that that had worked before. I just tried logging in via vnc, and didn't have the problem.
14:10
<alkisg>
Ah, ok :)
14:10
<Mip5>
I was logging in as my admin account on the client. And, as I said, 8.04 used to allow admin.
14:10
Anyway - thanks.
14:12
Do you have a good link to show how to bind an ltsp server to an apple Xserve (running 10.4 - ldap v3)? It might be nice to have the students be able to get to their work from any of the machines inthe building.

<Mip5>
_UsUrPeR_ - no I didn't. It was taking forever, so I ordered a thin client from Disklessworkstations. It came yesterday, and it's great. I'm hoping we can go with it.
14:47
<_UsUrPeR_>
mip5: oh. Grats :)
14:47
If you need any help, let me know
14:47
<Mip5>
It's about the same price as the workstations we were planning to get, is greener, and just works.
14:48
Thanks - I'm sure I will.
14:48
The next issue I'm grappling with is whether/how to integrate the thin clients with our OS X server infrastructure.
14:49
In particular, I'd like to have the tc's bind to the same ldap directory so that account info for 300 students can be managed in one place

_UsUrPeR_ thanks - I'd love the assist.

Gadi - the files changed from simple text to xml (iirc) from Gutsy to Hardy, so I'm not sure whether that ref will still be relevant. I'll take a look though.
14:56
<Gadi>
xml on the client side?
14:56
hmm
14:57
<Mip5>
Right - the linux client files changed format (is what I recall hearing from one of our techs when he was working on it last spring)
14:59
<Gadi>
well, either way, seems to be straight ldap
14:59
can prolly follow all the same ldap howtos as if it were Linux
15:01
<Mip5>
Right - I've got some links (somewhere...) on it. Any ideas on how well it'll work to have the ltsp server server up the thin clients, but have the tc's write to their directory on the Xserver.
15:02
Both of the servers will be on gig ports on a decent cisco chassis (4506)
15:02evilx_ has joined #LTSP

<Gadi>
should be fine
15:03
much like an nfs mounted homedir
15:03
<Mip5>
Oh good. Well, I'll begin testing that out.
15:03
One thing I heard is that if you botch the client, you lose the ability to login to it to fix it!
15:03* Gadi plans to play a bit with a CIFS mounted homedir soon - that one Im more worried about
15:03
<Gadi>
:)
15:04
Mip5: always keep a back door
15:04
:)
15:05
<Mip5>
Right - I heard I should keep a terminal open with root logged in , just in case...
15:05
<Gadi>
or a livecd handy ;)
15:06
<Mip5>
Oh yeah, I suppose that would work, though I'm not exactly sure how I'd restore root access: passwd root?
15:06
<Gadi>
well, you usually screw things up by screwing up pam
15:06
so any pam file you touch, make a backup
15:06
<Mip5>
right
15:06
<Gadi>
or any operation you run that touches pam, know the inverse operation
15:06evilx has quit IRC
15:07
<Gadi>
:)
15:07
<Mip5>
Okay - so then you'd just chroot, and restore the files
15:07
<Gadi>
right
15:07
or simply, backup all of pam.d first
15:08
<Mip5>
makes sense. I like to know (roughly) how to deal with adversity before I step into it, though I often get more than I bargain for ....;-)
15:08
<Gadi>
it makes you stronger
15:08
:)
15:09
<Mip5>
yeah... as long as it doesn't kill you, right?
15:10
It's true though - I do learn more when I have to dig myself out of something
15:10
Sometimes (often?) things work, and you don't really know why they work
15:12
<Gadi>
thats why we break things here in #ltsp
15:12
its so our users will thank us for giving them an opportunity to leaarn
15:12

hi everyone.
19:17
i'm integrating localapps on a ltsp env but not all the thin client are able to run localapps, is there a standard way to launch ex. firefox from the profile "firefox.desktop" to launch the browser in local for thin client that support it or on the appserver for the other ?
19:18
or do i need to write my own profile parser to start firefox with the command i want ?
