question: i created 4 users with their own home directory, what i want is the there documents and picture folder is all pointing to 1 documents and picture folder so that they share their data that way. Can somebody tell me how to do it, i don't want to point to the same home dir in the user setting since they all have their custom desktop
04:34alkisg has quit IRC
05:00
<sep>
yoshi__, i just make a directory somwehere. and symlink that into all 4 homedirs. with a obvious name

<yoshi__>
sep great thanks
05:05wigwam has quit IRC
05:05
<sep>
yoshi__, f you want them to be able to edit eachothers files. you also need to make the users part of the same group. and make the dir writeable by this group and set the sticky group bit. (so all new files get this group)
05:05
<yoshi__>
how do i set the sticky group bit ?

hello
06:04
i've tried the following options in lts.conf and they didn't affect xorg.org generation:
06:08
X_DEVICE_OPTION_01 = "\"AccelMethod\" \"XAA\""
06:08
X_INPUTDEVICE_OPTION_02 = "\"SendCoreEvents\" \"false\""
06:08
what else could i try?
06:08
i also want the 2nd option to be false, and not true. any hints?
06:20daduke has joined #ltsp
06:20erieslabnx has joined #ltsp
06:23* tarzeau tries the 2nd suggestion of Gadi to use X_OPTION_01 = "\"AccelMethod\" \"XAA\""
06:23* ogra wonders which distros still support XAA
06:23pmatulis has joined #ltsp
06:23alkisg has joined #ltsp
06:24
<tarzeau>
ogra: would UXA or EXA be better?
06:25
<ogra>
well, EXA is the default since nearly a year upstream
06:25
<tarzeau>
ogra: i have no idea but with the etch+older geode driver it seemed to be faster, likewise on intel graphics cards with the lenny xorg
06:25
SendCoreEvents\" \"false\""
06:25
<ogra>
and XAA was recerntly dropped (a few months ago) completely
06:25
<tarzeau>
daduke: xorg.conf now is the true default
06:26
<ogra>
oh, lenny might have old xorg indeed
06:26
<tarzeau>
ogra: i see, i updated to the latest (4 days old) geode driver from their homepage, and it seemed fast
06:26
<ogra>
it was frozen quite long
06:26ogra_ has quit IRC
06:27* ogra is to spoiled by ubuntu release speed ... i always forget how behind debian might be, sorry
06:28
<tarzeau>
we could use squeeze for the ltsp clients, if that's better?
06:32
YAY THAT WORKED
06:39
X_OPTION_01 = "\"AccelMethod\" \"XAA\""
06:48
<ogra>
congrats
06:48
<alkisg>
_UsUrPeR_: freenode now provides a javascript-based irc client, what do you think of putting an iframe in http://www.ltsp.org/chat that encaptulates http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ltsp for the users that are not familiar with ltsp clients?
06:49
(so that we can point irc-newcomers there)
06:53
<ogra>
you could also add a special "support" session to ldm that starts irssi in a terminal by default if selected :P

ogra, nice idea, I'm filing a bug report for this in launchpad

not 100% ltsp related, but has anyone here experience in managing access rights for shared data for groups of users?
08:14
at the moment, we have shared tre for the ltsp users, and we manage access rights with group/user permissions
08:14F-GT has quit IRC
08:14
<wima>
but it is a bit of a hassle. things always end up with the wrong permissions
08:15
and the users are not computer literate enough to solve it on their own

hi
09:08
anyone?
09:09
<zamba>
everyone!
09:09
<matttttt>
just ask your question, if someone can answer it, they will.
09:10
<newbie_needs_hel>
i need help setting up pxe
09:10
boot
09:11
<matttttt>
that's not a question
09:13hanthana has joined #ltsp

<newbie_needs_hel>
msg matttttt i am not sure where to locate initdr and the vmlinux
09:16
msg matttttt it has been a good decade since i used linux, i am very unfamiliar in using it
09:17
<ogra>
with the existing ltsp5 implementations you should have an out of the box mode that just works on pretty much every distro
09:17
it will configure itself
09:18
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't ltsp5 require implementation by the individual distro?
09:18
<ogra>
yes it does
09:18
<newbie_needs_hel>
i did that... but my client wont boot
09:20
am internet researching, but not sure where to start
09:20
i am not sure where to grab initdr and vmlinunx
09:22
<matttttt>
how far does your client get in the boot process?
09:22CAN-o-SPAM has joined #ltsp
09:22
<newbie_needs_hel>
it displays insert boot disk
09:22
ltsp5 will configure itself automatically? and nothing needs to be done?
09:23
<matttttt>
you need to configure your client to boot via pxeboot
09:23
sometimes called 'boot agent' in pc bios
09:23
not floppy, usb or hd
09:23
<newbie_needs_hel>
i did that
09:23
since i am not familiar with actually what ltsp 5 does
09:24
<ogra>
first of all get your client to boot from the net
09:24
<newbie_needs_hel>
and a lot of webpage/guides, tells to modify the dhcpd and the thth
09:24
<ogra>
thats not realted to ltsp at all
09:24
<newbie_needs_hel>
no?
09:24
<ogra>
if it asks for a floppy thats not correct
09:25
you need to enable PXE in the BIOS of the client
09:25
<Appiah_>
newbie_needs_hel: change the boot to network
09:25
in bios
09:25
<newbie_needs_hel>
i did that..
09:25
<ogra>
(indeed only if the client has a PXE capable card builtin)
09:25
<matttttt>
perhaps you didn't save your changes to the bios settinsg?
09:26
<Appiah_>
does the client say anthing like Press F12 to boot from network?
09:26
<matttttt>
you should be getting a tftp timeout, or some other error if it was configured like that
09:26
and somehow was still broken
09:26
<ogra>
or it should just boot ;)
09:26
<matttttt>
ogra: ideally :)
09:26
<ogra>
in any case if it asks for a floppy its not doing the right thing
09:27
<newbie_needs_hel>
hmm
09:27
<rjune_wrk>
newbie_needs_hel: what are you trying to use as the terminal?
09:28
And what distribution are you trying to use as the server?
09:28
<newbie_needs_hel>
using ltsp5 on fedora
09:28
<Appiah_>
the client that you're trying to boot
09:29
is it a thin client? A laptop?
09:29
<newbie_needs_hel>
thin client..
09:29
well
09:29
<Appiah_>
"fat client" ?
09:29
<newbie_needs_hel>
it's an old computer, i took out the hard drive
09:29
<Appiah_>
kk
09:29
<newbie_needs_hel>
and playing around w/ it
09:29
<CAN-o-SPAM>
newbie_needs_hel: how old? what processor?
09:29
<Appiah_>
is the network card onboard?
09:29
<ogra>
and you are sure the network card in it can do PXE
09:29
?
09:30
<newbie_needs_hel>
i am actually not sure...
09:30
<rjune_wrk>
ok, we need to find that out first.
09:30
what brand and model of NIC are in it?
09:31
<newbie_needs_hel>
before while i check, do i need to configure those dhcpt etc as in all those guides on the net?
09:32
<Appiah_>
unless your network already has a dhcp server running then you might need to modify it
09:32yoshi__ has quit IRC
09:32
<ogra>
in ubuntu debian and gentoo thats configured automatically ... not so sure about fedora, but i would guess it does that too
09:32
<rjune_wrk>
newbie_needs_hel: if you like, you can post /etc/dhcpd.conf to a pastbin and we can do a quick sanity check
09:33
newbie_needs_hel: pastebin.com will work for that purpose
09:34
<newbie_needs_hel>
some generic realtek card 8139
09:35
<Appiah_>
should do
09:35
<rjune_wrk>
is that one of the models that needs a boot rom in it?
09:36
<newbie_needs_hel>
do i need to put a boot rom in it for a pxe boot?
09:38
<ogra>
no, either the card supports PXE booting or its an etherboot card
09:38
<newbie_needs_hel>
the dhcpd.conf has # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
09:38
<ogra>
the latter usually needs a rom
09:38
<newbie_needs_hel>
that's it
09:38
<ogra>
well, that means you likely need to configure dhcp on fedora ...
09:39
sad, i thought it puts something in place
09:39
<newbie_needs_hel>
which i have been trying to do...
09:39
i can worry abut the client requirements later
09:40
<ogra>
well, how do you know if it works without having a working client to test :)
09:40
i would start with getting a client together first :)
09:40
<newbie_needs_hel>
well... the client is there and ready
09:40
<ogra>
obviously not
09:41
<newbie_needs_hel>
i can always use my laptop
09:41
<ogra>
ah, ok, thats fine then
09:41
<newbie_needs_hel>
if the original PC is too old to support it
09:42
<ogra>
if you ran ltsp-build-client everything should be in place (beyond the dhcpd.conf)
09:42
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: you can get PXE boot roms too
09:42
<ogra>
i would suggest just copying the sample file across
09:42
... restart the dhcp server and try ...
09:42
rjune_wrk, indeed
09:43
<rjune_wrk>
dwc used to sell them, If memory serves, at any rate, he's got other problems.
09:43
<ogra>
how do you know ?
09:43
he didnt try with a proper client yet :)
09:43
i would assume the sample file to be properly preconfigured to get it up and running in a test environemnt
09:44
and ltsp-build-client is supposed to do all the rest
09:44
if not, thats clearly a bug
09:45
<newbie_needs_hel>
hm... how do i restart it?
09:45
<rjune_wrk>
He may not have the ltsp5 stuff installed in fedora
09:45
<newbie_needs_hel>
i downloaded the ltsp/fedora distro from the link on ltsp website
09:45
<ogra>
if ltsp-build-client worked, he will
09:46* ogra sighs, why cant every distro be as easy as ubuntu (or debian) :)
09:46
<erieslabnx>
hey I was told yesterday that most wifi cards would not support PXE, What about XDMCP via wifi? ath5k_pci driver
09:47
<newbie_needs_hel>
what is that ltsp-build-client? is that a command that I should run? or is it exectuted automatically when i installed it
09:47
<ogra>
apart from the fact that you shouldnt use XDMCP and that you might see a heavy bottleneck through wifi there is no reason it wouldnt work
09:48
newbie_needs_hel, no idea, i dont use fedora, uf you manually install the ltsp packages you usually run that command and it sets up everything for you
09:48
<erieslabnx>
is there ANY way to actually use my wifi card together with my server? I really don't wanna be tethered down to my desk.
09:48
<rjune_wrk>
newbie_needs_hel: can you send me the link to the page you were reading?
09:48
<ogra>
no idea about that CD you downloaded and if it runs it automatically
09:48
<matttttt>
ogra: what would they use insted?
09:48
instead
09:48
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: boot CD is one way
09:48
<ogra>
matttttt, instead of what ?
09:48
<rjune_wrk>
or you could run a full distro on your desk, and do ssh -Y SERVER
09:48
<matttttt>
<ogra> apart from the fact that you shouldnt use XDMCP
09:49
<rjune_wrk>
then run whatever app you want
09:49
<erieslabnx>
ok rjune_wrk like you said yesterday about compiling the distro?
09:49
<rjune_wrk>
matttttt: LTSP pipes XDMCP over an encrypted tunnel Ithink
09:49
erieslabnx: You can go that route, for one machine, it's probably not worth it
09:49
<ogra>
matttttt, ssh ... nx or anything else with what you cant take screenshots from captured network traffic
09:49
<rjune_wrk>
You won't need to compile anything I don't think, just assemble a boot CD
09:49
<ogra>
rjune_wrk, ltsp5 doesnt touch XDMCP at all
09:49
<newbie_needs_hel>
https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/
09:50
<erieslabnx>
anything that can get me as mobile as I was a month ago is worth it to me lol
09:50
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: oh cool. I didn't know that.
09:50
<ogra>
XDMCP is way to insecure
09:50
<newbie_needs_hel>
i downloaded the live server
09:50
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: what OS is on your laptop now?
09:50
<erieslabnx>
jaunty
09:50
ubuntu
09:50
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: you familiar with CLI?
09:50
<newbie_needs_hel>
then i installed into another old PC with a thumbdrive
09:50
<erieslabnx>
I know that is the thing I don't like lol
09:50
I am very eager to try to learn it though
09:51
<newbie_needs_hel>
windows is in my laptop
09:51etyack has left #ltsp
09:51
<ogra>
erieslabnx, get freenx for jaunty and install an nx client on your laptop ... boot your local jaunty and work through the nx client on the server
09:51
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: fastest easiest way to run an app on another machine is to drop to a shell(accessories -> terminal I think in GNOME)
09:52
<erieslabnx>
lmao you mean by remote that I would be 100% CLI?
09:52
no GUI?
09:52
<rjune_wrk>
and then ssh -Y <SERVER> <PROGRAM>
09:52
<ogra>
all other ways to work via WLAN either cost money or are majorly painful to set up
09:52
<rjune_wrk>
but what ogra said can get you an actual desktop.
09:52
<erieslabnx>
ok
09:52
<rjune_wrk>
or both.
09:52
<ogra>
well, the ssh -Y is exactly what ltsp does by default
09:52
<erieslabnx>
what is NX? Is it an abbreviation?
09:53
<ogra>
ssh -Y user@server gnome-session ...
09:53
for example
09:53
NX is an app
09:53
<erieslabnx>
like freevnc?
09:53
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: oh god, that would be bad to do within an environment
09:53
<ogra>
for only one ot two connections you get it for free
09:53
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: like freevnc, but a bit better.
09:53
<ogra>
rjune_wrk, well, works if you start an xterm session
09:53
erieslabnx, its vnc but with compression ...
09:54
<rjune_wrk>
right.
09:54
and forwards audio IIRC
09:54
<ogra>
so its a lot faster and less network hungry
09:54
<cyberorg>
hi, anyone going to be at linuxtag tomorrow? don't miss Jan Weber's Easy-LTSP talk in the morning
09:54
http://www.linuxtag.org/2009/en/program/freies-vortragsprogramm/saturday/details.html?talkid=722
09:54* cyberorg shamelessly plugs in
09:54* ogra was pondering to go but surely hasnt a minute for ltsp stuff there
09:55
<cyberorg>
ogra, Jan is a great guy, you'll like what we've been doing :)
09:57
<erieslabnx>
ok ogra 10:51:15.... you do understand the server is what I want to log into correct? The server (hiding in the closet) I log into often via xdmcp from my laptop wired... I just wanna walk around doing the same thing.
09:58
sorry if I am the one confused
09:58
<ogra>
well, how do you do XDMCP wired atm ?
09:59
<erieslabnx>
the terms server and client often are not together in my microsoft world. Client I always assume is the mobile unit/s
09:59
wired directly to the switch with cat5
09:59
<ogra>
and why do you think it wouldnt work the same way via wireless
09:59
how do you do XDMCP wired atm ?
09:59
(i didnt ask about your network setup :) )
10:00
<erieslabnx>
XDMCP does not seem to utilize my wifi card
10:00
it feels like it does not see the card
10:00
<ogra>
can you ping ?
10:00
<erieslabnx>
the wifi card only works once I am in my OS
10:00
<ogra>
XDMCP doesnt have anything to do with your card
10:00
<rjune_wrk>
newbie_needs_hel: the distribution should handle that.
10:00
<erieslabnx>
Would that be determined with CLI?
10:00
<rjune_wrk>
if not, it's poorly put together.
10:00
<ogra>
erieslabnx, aha ...
10:00
<rjune_wrk>
LOL
10:00
<ogra>
erieslabnx, so you use XDMCP through gdm currently
10:01
<erieslabnx>
I think
10:01
<ogra>
(i.e. from the login manager)
10:01
<erieslabnx>
I boot up, Ubuntu login comes on and I goto preferences
10:01
<ogra>
right
10:01
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: the wired connection works before login, and the wireless does not?
10:01
<erieslabnx>
yes it seems
10:01
<ogra>
well, wireless is handled by network-manager
10:01
netwrok-manager only starts the connection if you are logged in
10:01
<erieslabnx>
XDMCP when LAN wire is plugged in sees the server when not sees nothing
10:01
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: Have you put two and two together yet?
10:02
ogra: any way to change that?
10:02
<erieslabnx>
I think
10:02
I think not
10:02
my router is plugged into the switch too
10:02
<ogra>
rjune_wrk, he could configure wlan through /etc7network/interfaces instead
10:02
<erieslabnx>
and works fine for Vista machines
10:02
<ogra>
or he could just bring it up on tty1 with iwconfig
10:02
<rjune_wrk>
Hrm..
10:03
Xnest might get the effect he wants.
10:03
or tsclient.
10:03
<ogra>
sure, that too
10:03
<erieslabnx>
is this a tables problem?
10:03
<rjune_wrk>
as I think that'll do xdmcp and fullscreen it easily
10:03
<erieslabnx>
because I don't know what tables are
10:03
<newbie_needs_hel>
what is this ltsp-build-client?
10:03
<ogra>
erieslabnx, your network is not up when you use wireless
10:03
<newbie_needs_hel>
i am suppose to run it?
10:03
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: no, it's an interface problem. wifi is ahndled differently than wired
10:03
newbie_needs_hel: yes
10:04
<erieslabnx>
yes newbie
10:04
oops
10:04usuario has quit IRC
10:04
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: do you have tsclient on your laptop?
10:04
<erieslabnx>
ogra all the wired clients can get on
10:05
I don't know what that is rjune_wrk
10:05
<ogra>
erieslabnx, your network is not up ifr you are not logged in
10:05
<newbie_needs_hel>
it says root directory /opt/...../i386 already exists..
10:05
<ogra>
(your *wireless* network)

erieslabnx: hit <alt>-<f2>
10:05
<newbie_needs_hel>
do i need to run it with my clients connected?
10:05
<rjune_wrk>
type in tsclient
10:05
<ogra>
newbie_needs_hel, then you dont need to run it, somthing ran it already
10:05
<erieslabnx>
ohh yeah I have that
10:06
<ogra>
erieslabnx, sudo apt-get install xserver-xephyr
10:06
log in ...
10:06
in your system-tools menu you will have "log in in another window" ... run that
10:06
<rjune_wrk>
I wish those deps were better flagged
10:06
<ogra>
it will give you a login window you can run XDMCP in
10:07
<erieslabnx>
I feel I am getting very close now :)
10:07
<ogra>
the prob is that your wireless connection is only started after login
10:07
unlike your wired connection
10:07
<erieslabnx>
yes that is what I thought was happening
10:08
<rjune_wrk>
which is started when the computer gets turned on
10:08
<erieslabnx>
like the drivers are not yet loaded
10:08
<ogra>
drivers are loaded, connection isnt brought up
10:08
<rjune_wrk>
security reasons for that?
10:08
<ogra>
network-manager needs your network passwords etc
10:08
for wireless
10:08
<rjune_wrk>
yes, that's the context we're in
10:08
<ogra>
these are by default stored as your user
10:09
network-manager can only access them if you are logged in
10:09
there are two ways areound it
10:09
configure your wireless manually (alt-f2 and hack up the config files) so wireless behaves the same as wired
10:10
or log in and connect XDMCP then in a window
10:10
<erieslabnx>
no tools option under system.... system/admin/login window seems to be settings for people to log into my laptop but not my laptop to remotely log into the server
10:10
<ogra>

got it
10:12
<ogra>
enable the "login in new window"
10:12
<erieslabnx>
ohhh yeah baby!!!!
10:12
<ogra>
in that window you get a new login manager ... use it as you are used to
10:12
<erieslabnx>
THANK YOU!!!!!!
10:13
<ogra>
:)
10:13
<erieslabnx>
Been trying this for like two weeks
10:13
now I need to completely understand to write my owns scripts within 5 minutes... Begin training now
10:13
lol
10:13
seriously thank you both so much
10:13
<ogra>
welcome ... we all started once ;)
10:14
and bellive me, i wasnt cleverer in the beginning ;)
10:15
the trick is to ask the right questions (after you found out what they are) ;)
10:15
<erieslabnx>
but it is so different now, before there wasn't much help at all, now we have this channel :)
10:16
you all learned a much harder way than I have to
10:18
<newbie_needs_hel>
so tftboot should have been setup already? or do i have to set it up manually?
10:18
btw my laptop timed dhcp timed out....
10:18
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: I think he found it
10:19
newbie_needs_hel: the server should have been completely setup already
10:19
<newbie_needs_hel>
oh... so i need to remove everything i did... and revert it back?
10:19
<rjune_wrk>
I'm not sure there.
10:20* ogra sadly doesnt know a bit about the fedora setup
10:21
<ogra>
it should have set up inetd for serving tftp ...
10:22
in the inetd config you should be able to find the path where kernel and initrd are stored ... if the files are in there the ltsp side apart from dhcpd should be set up
10:22
<newbie_needs_hel>
where is the inetd config?
10:24
<rjune_wrk>
newbie_needs_hel: /etc/xinetd.d
10:25
<ogra>
ah, right, fedora uses xinetd
10:27
<rjune_wrk>
ubuntu doesn't?
10:27
shows how much I use it recently
10:27
<ogra>
xinetd has license flaws
10:28
neither ubuntu nor debian use it
10:28
<rjune_wrk>
what license flaws?
10:29
newbie_needs_hel: which file did yousay you downloaded from the k12linux site?
10:30
<ogra>
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#xinetd
10:31
you cant ship it together with GPL software
10:31
<newbie_needs_hel>
liveCD
10:32
K12Linux F10 Live Server rele
10:33
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: by ship do you mean link? because I see nothing in the license that would prohibit debian from using it
10:33
<ogra>
it is incompatible with the GPL
10:34
<rjune_wrk>
yes it is.
10:34
<ogra>
so it will never enter debian main
10:37
<newbie_needs_hel>
then i started doing http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-to/tftp/tftp--pxe--syslinux--fedora-install.html
10:38
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/common-distros.html
10:38
<ogra>
rjune_wrk, ?
10:39
<rjune_wrk>
fsf makes the claim that debian does indeed have non-free in main
10:39
<ogra>
yes ?
10:39
<rjune_wrk>
which contradicts your statement that xinetd is not gpl compatible, thus will never make it to main.
10:40
or is there another part of that which I missed
10:40
<ogra>
see, if we ship free software and make the claim that the free parts are freely modifyable something like xinetd is impossible to ship
10:40
one has nothing to do with the other
10:40
ubuntu ships nvidia.ko ... but doesnt claim you can modify it
10:40
for all other software we do claim that
10:41
xinetd license makes that impossible
10:41
<rjune_wrk>
You said, debian main is all GPL compatible software, yes?
10:42
<newbie_needs_hel>
anyways, now my dhcpd does not start up
10:42
<ogra>
rjune_wrk, yes, it is
10:42
<cyberorg>
ogra, according to this, we are allowed to ship modifications to xinetd http://www.xinetd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/xinetd/COPYRIGHT?rev=1.1.1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain
10:43
<ogra>
rjune_wrk, that statement is outdated ... firmware for wireless cards isnt included by default in debian anymore afaik
10:43
<cyberorg>
only restriction author put was about versions, he later allowed higher versions
10:43
<ogra>
cyberorg, "... under the following additional terms: ..."
10:43
<rjune_wrk>
ogra: ah, ok.
10:43
<ogra>
thats the sentence that doesnt work
10:43
<rjune_wrk>
cyberorg: it still isn't gpl compatible.
10:44
<cyberorg>
rjune_wrk, yeah got it, but that is trivial term, to keep suggested versioning, anyway it does not matter, we are using xinetd :)
10:45
ogra, he could have just put "with these suggestions..." instead of "additional terms:"
10:45
<rjune_wrk>
newbie_needs_hel: wtf? I have to suggest you try a different ltsp implementation. this really should be plug and play, not plug and pray
10:45
cyberorg: but he didn't.
10:45
<ogra>
right
10:46
thats what makes the difference
10:46
and be sure he was contacted about it by the fsf
10:46
<rjune_wrk>
cyberorg: you could suggest he change the verbage.
10:49
<cyberorg>
newbie_needs_hel, get li-f-e ;) http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Live
10:49
<erieslabnx>
ogra do you personally use xephyr?
10:49
it is great
10:49
<rjune_wrk>
erieslabnx: I think many of us have used it before.
10:50
<ogra>
erieslabnx, to test local stuff sometimes
10:50
<erieslabnx>
I feel like I am missing out on something better now lol
10:50
just agree that it is great :D

<newbie_needs_hel>
hmm well that guide is outdated
10:53
<erieslabnx>
The resolution on the server's 22" LCD is considerably higher than that of my HP laptop. Is that controlled with a script for xephyr or a setting on the server? I am finding forums saying 2 different things.
10:54
<newbie_needs_hel>
i am not really for downloading a newer version, becoz i wont be able to do it until next week

is it normal to be getting multiple nbd connection requests during client bootup? i'm seeing disconnect requests and then reconnect attempts

11:50zamba has quit IRC
11:50zamba has joined #ltsp
11:51
<ogra>
pmatulis, yes, thats because stgraber added a reconnect to enable --persist on connections that dont have it by default
11:52
<pmatulis>
ogra: this 'persist' is controlled/configured where?
11:53
<ogra>
in one of the two ltsp-client initscripts
11:53
i dont remeber which one
11:53
<pmatulis>
no, i mean how can a connection have it and another one not?
11:54
<ogra>
i think if you use it initially in initramfs it breaks when switching to the real root so you have to initiate the setting through a reconnect, stgraber can elaborate better on that one, i'm sure
11:56
<pmatulis>
ogra: thanks

pmatulis_: what ogra said is perfectly correct, you can't initialize -persist from the initrd
12:23
well, you can but it'd have no effect at all
12:29
<vagrantc>
stgraber: any work into getting that fixed?
12:29
the reconnecting thing has always seemed a bit of a hack...
12:30
<stgraber>
not much I can do actually, that'd need changes in the kernel module and the nbd-client, don't really have the time for that kind of work though it'd indeed be appreciated
12:30
<vagrantc>
sure
12:31
stgraber: i'll try to reproduce it and file a bug in the debian bts ... the debian maintainer for nbd is pretty responsive.

Afternoon all. Connection here is very spotty, I might not be able to hang long.
13:54
<pmatulis_>
where can i learn more about how sound is managed in ltsp5?
13:54
<ogra_>
excuses excuses
13:54
pmatulis_, i fear only by looking at the code
13:55
<pmatulis_>
ogra_: is it a very special arrangement or mostly generic stuff?
13:55
<sbalneav>
The manual has some info.
13:55
<Lns>
sbalneav, it's ok. I didn't want to talk to you anyway. =p~
13:55
<sbalneav>
pmatulis_: What do you want to know?
13:55
<ogra_>
pmatulis_, pulse runs on the client on top of alsa, ldm exports PULSE_SERVER pointing to the client on session startup
13:56
thats basically the setup
13:56alkisg has joined #ltsp
13:56
<pmatulis_>
ogra_: ok then
13:56
<ogra_>
the pulse confic on the client is special, look it up in one of the ltsp-client initscripts in the chroot
13:56
i think its -setup
13:58* pmatulis_ notices that he cannot adjust the volume on his client
