howdy!

is anyone here testing Ubuntu/Karmic on Geode terminals?
03:52
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one for whom 2.6.31-*-generic packages fail to boot on a Geode LX -based host
03:57bobby_C has joined #ltsp
04:18
<highvoltage>
hi Q-FUNK. I haven't tested yet but I do have a Geode client and I am running karmic. I could test over the weekend
04:19
<Q-FUNK>
highvoltage: excellent! which client do you use?
04:19
e.g. CPU and model?
04:22Diablo22 has joined #ltsp

<Diablo22>
Hi all
04:24
<highvoltage>
Q-FUNK: it's a lttle black box I got from a client. it has Model: ION A603 written on it.
04:24
Q-FUNK: not plugged in right now so I'll have to give you further details later
04:29ogra has quit IRC
04:29
<Q-FUNK>
right, ION 603 is what I have too

<Diablo22>
Its normal that my ltsp clients see the second network card of the server when i write : ifconfig -a ? I have Ubuntu as distro
04:34
<Q-FUNK>
Diablo22: yes, because whatever you write in a terminal is actually runing on the server
04:35
in LTSP, the client is just a binocular to a session taking place on the server. nothing runs locally on the client, except for LDM.
04:35
<Diablo22>
Q-FUNK: oh , i see , Thank you for your help.
04:36
<Q-FUNK>
all the clients share server resources to run their session
04:37
you can think of them as a TV screen: the movie is running at the TV station; your own TV set just shows you the image.
04:37
<Diablo22>
Q-FUNK: I have a strange problem with Firefox , I can ping for example google.com , however firefox cannot resolve the url. ( I have Firefox as Local App)
04:37
<Q-FUNK>
as local app?
04:37
are you configured in web kiosk mode?
04:38
you might need to install dnsmasq on the server, to relay DNS queries
04:40
stgraber: could it be a good idea to install dnsmasq and some sort of NAT by default, on LTSP server, to allow web kiosk sessions to work out of the box and use the server as a router?
04:40
<Diablo22>
I dont think it a dns issue , as my server has a BIND9 server running and working. With Firefox i cannot browse the net , but with the console i can use wget for example.
04:40
<Q-FUNK>
it might have DNS working, but not NAT
04:41
and bind9 might be overkill, if all you need is to relay DNS queries :)
04:42

04:45
<Q-FUNK>
ogra: ah, ufw offers simple NAT now? pretty nice!
04:45
<ogra>
either that or use the iptables setup
04:45
in any case NAT isnt on by default
04:46
<Diablo22>
Q-FUNK: I use Bind9 for my network name resolution.
04:46
ogra: I use firestarter. Thank you for your advice.
04:46
<ogra>
ugh ... firestarter ...
04:47
but then you should know what to do if you use such an advanced thing :)
04:47
just make sure http and https are NATed
04:52
<Diablo22>
ogra: Actually firestarter is pretty simple.
04:52
<ogra>
well, its a POV thing i guess
04:53
i find gufw far simpler
04:53
the firestarter UI is awful imho
04:56
<Q-FUNK>
gufw?
04:56

the gui for ufw
04:56
<Q-FUNK>
gui versio of ufw?

05:26

its defined in your dhcp config
05:26
you can also set it in lts.conf though

05:39

italC
05:41
<Diablo22>
I think italc is used to monitor the clients . I was asking about Gui configuration of the server.
05:45
<ogra>
what would you configure ?
05:51johnny has left #ltsp
05:54
<Diablo22>
ogra : the setting like their ip , resolution , ect . I heard someone using LDAP for that. But i found no tutorial or doc for this proccess.
05:55
<ogra>
there is no ldap support for lts.conf
05:55
patches accepted though :)

Hey You Guys
09:35
How do I burn a DVD on a thin client, which has a DVD burner?
09:36
This is in Ltsp5
09:43
<Diablo22>
did you set LOCALDEV=True in your lts.conf ?
09:43
<edoardo>
Yep
09:43
When I instert a blank DVD it opens up a Nautilus window with it, and mounts it
09:43
But I ain't sure about how I can burn it
09:43
<Diablo22>
You have a iso ?
09:43
<edoardo>
Brasero won't recognize it as a blank DVD :(
09:43
Yeah, I got an ISO
09:44
<Diablo22>
hmm.
09:44
<edoardo>
It'll work if I put the blank DVD in the Server, but I'm kinda trying to avoid that
09:45
<Diablo22>
That clear. But you want in the thin client. I am trying right now in my machines
09:46
<Gadi1>
You need to run DVD burning software as a local app
09:46
and put the file in your home directory
09:46
<edoardo>
Uhm... how do I do that?
09:47
<Gadi1>
well, what DVD burning software would you like to use?
09:47
<edoardo>
I'm thinking of scripting this, so even command line
09:47
<Gadi1>
why script it?
09:48
lets say, you like "gnomebaker
09:48
"
09:48
for example
09:48
then you:
09:48
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update
09:48
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install gnomebaker
09:48
sudo ltsp-update-image
09:48
reboot the thin client
09:49
and either:
09:49
a. set: LOCAL_APPS_MENU=True in lts.conf and select GnomeBaker from the regular menu
09:50
b. OR: create a launcher for: ltsp-localapps gnomebaker
09:50
whichever you prefer
09:50
Then, you can burn the DVD
09:50
<ogra>
note though that gnomebaker will only have access to your homedir :)
09:50
<Gadi1>
if you are on Ubuntu, make sure the user is in the appropriate group to have permissions to use the DVD device
09:50
<Diablo22>
Gadi1: Can you tell me if i have to patch Firefox to run as local app ?
09:51
<ogra>
you dont
09:51
<Gadi1>
Diablo22: patch? no
09:51
just install in the chroot
09:51
<ogra>
same procedure as with gnomebaker
09:52
<Diablo22>
Actually i want to install netbeans , then add Ruby plugin . However I cant add it by console only by GUI. Do you know any solution ?
09:53
As localapp
09:53
<Gadi1>
you can install any add-on on command line
09:53
<edoardo>
Gadil, Thanks dude
09:54
<Gadi1>
edoardo: np
09:54
<Diablo22>
Gadi1 , in netbeans ?
09:55
<Gadi1>
FYI: the reason it has to be a local app is that burning requires access to the raw device - LOCALDEV only exports filesystems on the device
09:55
Diablo22: not sure about netbeans - I thought you meant a firefox plugin
09:55
like an .xpi file
09:56
Diablo22: does it install system wide or in the home directory of the user?
09:56
if in the homedir, localapps firefox will pick it up
09:57
<Diablo22>
system wide
10:00
<Gadi1>
Diablo22: try this:
10:00
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 mount -tdevpts none /dev/pts
10:00
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 netbeans_gui_thing
10:01
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 umount /dev/pts
10:01
sudo ltsp-update-image
10:01
that may work
10:02
<Diablo22>
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 mount -tdevpts none /dev/pts ? should be sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 mount -t /dev/pts none /dev/pts i think...
10:02
<Gadi1>
not on ubuntu
10:02
:)
10:02intelliant_ has joined #ltsp
10:02
<Gadi1>
no, it should be -tdevpts
10:03
devpts is the filesystem type
10:03
<Diablo22>
:)
10:03
it tell me that mount point dont exist
10:03
<Gadi1>
the above lets me run xterm from the chroot
10:03
is there no /opt/ltsp/i386/dev/pts ?
10:04
if not, make one
10:04
:)
10:04
or bind-mount /dev to /opt/ltsp/i386/dev

Hi, I'm running jaunty, I've wonder, is it necessary for the users to be a member of the audio group?
10:18
because I had this problem with pulseaudio, I try to restart pulseaudio, since sometimes the sound quit working
10:18
but whenever I run "pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -vv" it said the resource/hw is busy
10:21
I check under /dev/snd with lsof, and whenever I kill the user process (firefox), the sound is ok again

LOCAL_BROWSER??

s/si/so
11:49* ogra was wondering as well
11:49
<Gadi>
no such thing
11:49

perhaps he created it :)
11:49
<_UsUrPeR_>
huh
11:49
<Gadi>
ah
11:49
<_UsUrPeR_>
no
11:50
http://www.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/LtspLocalAppFirefox

<Gadi>
for some reason, LOCAL_OGRA does nothing either
11:50
<_UsUrPeR_>
:)
11:50
<ogra>
except in my house
11:50
<_UsUrPeR_>
it's listed in there...
11:50
<Gadi>
really? you got it working in your house?
11:50
;)
11:51
_UsUrPeR_: isnt that a 4.2 page?
11:51
<_UsUrPeR_>
so there is no lts.conf command to automatically update firefox links?
11:51
<ogra>
yeah, LOCAL_OGRA works in armchair :)
11:51
<_UsUrPeR_>
:)
11:52

hehe ur link takes me to an access denied pages
11:52
where someone who can't spell thinks the past tense of spell is spelt

gadi: I guess you are correct? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

<_UsUrPeR_>
http://www.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LocalAppFirefox

sorry :)
11:53
so to clarify: there is no newly-invented lts.conf command to automatically change localapps links?

oh that conversation is easy :)
11:54
<Gadi>
you can do:
11:55
LOCAL_APPS_MENU=True
11:55
to have the firefox menu item go to the local app

hmm
12:35
so - I guess this will offend a lot of people
12:36
but i run LTSP for a normal 300-seat office environment
12:36
Open Office, Thunderbird, Remote Desktop all work fine
12:36
but javascript is painful on some websites
12:36
notably Facebook
12:36
as this is a normal office environment, Facebook is quite essential to workplace morale
12:37
surprisingly so
12:38
I was wondering if anybody else notcies this slowdown with Firefox + Debian Lenny (and the updated libxcb libraries)

just facebook...
12:47
<ogra>
lenny is the latest indeed ... but quite a bit older than 9.04 :) rather equivalent to 8.04 i'd say
12:48
how does your context menu in the browser behave ?
12:48
that was actually the best way to reproduce the xcb issues
12:48
<epsas>
what is the context menu?
12:48
<ogra>
right click menu :)
12:48
<epsas>
oh - that is working fine
12:49
<ogra>
no delay ?
12:49
<epsas>
it is just facebook for some reason
12:49
no
12:49
i have already applied the patched xcb libs
12:49
<ogra>
did you monitor the cpu on the server while surfing to a facebook site ?
12:50
javascript can be very cpu hungry

I am still having fairly nasty entropy problems
13:35
I keep getting a Negotiation:_ failure
13:35
even with 2500 entropy
13:36
(I rebooted a client while moving the mouse on the server and repeately checking the pool... there was tons of entropy

13:39* Lumiere pokes vagrantc and ogra for help
13:40
<vagrantc>
hrm?
13:42* Gadi still wonders why people think its an entropy problem
13:43
<Lumiere>
yea it isn't
13:43
although entropy tends to drop horribly low
13:43
(which is a problem, just a different one)
13:48
Gadi: any ideas where to go?
13:50
all of the clients are Dell Optiplex GX620s with 2G ram on a dedicated switch to the ltsp server on a private net for only those 12 clients
13:53
so it isn't like there is a lot of weird stuff going on
13:53
but I am so far from my LTSP days (not to mention... the last time I actually RAN ltsp... it was ltsp3
13:55
<Gadi>
hehe
13:56
how big is the image you are pushing to them?
13:56
is it a standard basic image?
13:56
<Lumiere>
I think so
13:57
<Gadi>
hmm... do the clients all have the same network driver?
13:57
<Lumiere>
they're identical machines
13:57
<Gadi>
maybe there is something wonky there?
13:57

unless someone is being an ass and swapped out network cards in some
13:57
(and the answer there is not likely)
13:57
<Gadi>
do you know which driver?
13:57
perhaps there is a bug filed against it?
13:57
<Lumiere>
they're dells, probably eepro based, let me check
13:58
<Gadi>
might be good to know what the server has, too
13:58
<Lumiere>
broadcom on the clients
13:59
e1000e on the serve
14:00
<Gadi>
any dmesg
14:00
messages on the server
14:00
?
14:01
<Lumiere>
nothing obvious
14:02
nothing net related
14:04
<Q-FUNK>
Gadi: btw, have you tried kernel 2.6.31 on something LX-based?
14:04
<Gadi>
Q-FUNK: I can't even count that high
14:05

<Diablo221>
Gadi: Do you know if it possible to run a non Gui program as local ? Like Python .
14:07
<Lumiere>
brb
14:07
<Gadi>
as a localapp?
14:07
you can run anything
14:08
Diablo221: ltsp-localapps "command"
14:08
<Lumiere>
6
14:08
<Gadi>
Diablo221: or: ltsp-localapps --wait "command"
14:09
Lumiere: so, you only have 5 workstations connected atm, right?
14:09
<Diablo221>
It possible directly ? With LOCAL_APP_MENU_ITEMS
14:09
<Gadi>
Lumiere: and the next one gives you an error?
14:09
Diablo221: if you create a .desktop file for it in the chroot
14:10
<Lumiere>
Gadi: yes and yes... but we had 12 yesterday
14:10
<Gadi>
Diablo221: in the chroot's /usr/share/applications
14:10
<Lumiere>
or 10 it isn't a stable number it seems

Lumiere: install strace on the server
14:11
Lumiere: then, in /usr/sbin/nbdrootd, add an "strace -o /tmp/nbdrootd.out" in front of the nbd-server command
14:11
and boot a terminal
14:12
maybe we can see where it is getting stuck
14:12
(don't leave that in there, tho
14:12
<Lumiere>
yea
14:12
<Gadi>
just for the one test)
14:12
Lumiere: the only other place to go for info would be wireshark
14:12
and see if a packet is getting screwed up
14:13
<Lumiere>
uh is nbdrootd in the opt
14:13
<Gadi>
I once had a Cisco firewall that mangled the packets
14:13
<Lumiere>
or am I stracing nbdrootd
14:13
oh ic
14:13
<Gadi>
nbdrootd is in the server
14:13
do you have a Cisco switch?
14:13
<Lumiere>
is that server side or?
14:13
netgear
14:14
<Gadi>
ah, ok

I am using 8.04 Edubuntu, on a Dell 2850 server, with 1 gig of ram, and 2.8 ghz Xeon. We connect with PXE on a Diskless Workstation LTSP 1520, Problem is that we type faster then the system will recognize.
14:14
<Gadi>
yeah - server side
14:15
<dark4og>
Anyone know why? the slow reaction.. We use PXE boot on the LTSP 1520
14:15
<Lumiere>
Gadi: unless I have f'd something up...
14:15
no tmp file
14:16
<Diablo221>

14:16

14:16Diablo221 is now known as diablo22
14:17
<dark4og>
Not far from the server also..
14:17
<diablo22>
You using some Graphical application ?
14:17
<Gadi>
Lumiere: so, nbdrootd is not even firing up?
14:17
<Lumiere>
seems so
14:17
<Gadi>
Lumiere: so inetd's not working
14:17
or the packets aren't reaching the port
14:17
<dark4og>
Firefox... Inputting data
14:17
<Lumiere>
Gadi: wireshark it is...........
14:18
<dark4og>
Switching from Evince PDF to Firefox
14:18
<diablo22>
Try in gedit. If it lag , then it a system misconfiguration . Else if could be Firefox issue and you can try to run it as local app.
14:21
<dark4og>
gedit is OK... Looks like Fiefox issue
14:21
Still using PXE boot, how do we run local?
14:21
<Gadi>
dark4og: are you using acrobat plugin?
14:22
is that what is slow?
14:22
<dark4og>
No
14:22
Firefox is in a PHP site that we maintain Data..
14:22

14:23
The PDF is being viewed in Evince and the data is being input to the Firefox Browser

<_UsUrPeR_>
can anyone point me towards a ubuntu 9.04 document pertaining to ip_forwarding with ltsp-localapps? I am having problems with what I thought had worked in 8.04/8.10
14:23
<Lumiere>
Gadi: ok... I am getting some cisco-sccp oddness (including dup ack issues)
14:23
that is the port 2000 stuff
14:24
<Gadi>
yeah, evidently that is the same port that cissco uses for a VOIP application
14:24
<Lumiere>
ah
14:24
<Gadi>
*cisco
14:24
hence the friendly name
14:24
:)
14:24

14:24
<Gadi>
_UsUrPeR_: where's it stuck?
14:25
<diablo22>
dark4og: chroot to your thin client. and Install firefox . Then edit your lts.conf to activate the localapps.
14:25
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: firefox is not able to reach outside networks from client when running localapps.
14:25
<Gadi>
localapps was not really developed much in 8.04
14:25
<Lumiere>
Gadi: let me try to export these packets
14:25
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: belay that. I meant 8.10
14:25
no 8.04
14:26
<Gadi>
_UsUrPeR_: run: ltsp-localapps xterm
14:26
<dark4og>
diablo22>: Thx... will give it a shot
14:26
<Gadi>
then, in the xterm, do: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
14:26
_UsUrPeR_: make sure you don't have the chmod 000 problem first
14:26
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: I had used that bug fix listed in edubuntu
14:26
it's set @ 644
14:27
<Gadi>
good
14:27
now, in that xterm, do: route -n
14:27
<_UsUrPeR_>
it is, however, empty :/
14:27
<Gadi>
ah, that's a problem
14:27
:)
14:27
in lts.conf, add:
14:27tball has joined #ltsp
14:27
<Gadi>
DNS_SERVER
14:27
SEARCH_DOMAIN
14:28
that'll make sure it gets written to
14:28
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: route is not found

14:29
<_UsUrPeR_>
I left out search_domain in lts.conf though
14:29
that could be an issue
14:29
<Gadi>
_UsUrPeR_: maybe ur prob is just with resolv.conf
14:29tball has quit IRC
14:29
<_UsUrPeR_>
probably
14:29
<Gadi>
yeah, you need it
14:29

14:30
<_UsUrPeR_>
for SEARCH_DOMAIN= what domain should I be putting in there? DNS server domain?
14:30
<Gadi>

but, sure

diablo22: This is an PXE boot client, not sure that it can load local apps.. Will I need to fave a HDD in it for this?
14:32
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: that was it.
14:32
missing the domain
14:33
thanks
14:33
<vagrantc>
local apps require a fair amount of ram, is the only real difference between a "regular" thin client.
14:33
<dark4og>
So it caches the local app ion the server?
14:34
<vagrantc>
no
14:34
well, depends on what you mean by cache ...
14:34
<dark4og>
So the Client needs the ram.
14:35
<vagrantc>
better to think that it loads the program from the network rather than from a local hard disk... but otherwise is running on the local machine.
14:35
so instead of just displaying on the thin client, it's actually running on the thin client
14:35
using the client's ram and cpu...
14:36
in a typical thin client scenario, all applications are running on the server's cpu in the server's ram, and merely displaying to the thin client.
14:36
<dark4og>
OK. It pulls the app from the server, yet it taxes the thin client for the resource
14:37
Got it.. Thx vagrantc
14:37
<vagrantc>
but the world is so much more complicated now :)
14:45

I know mine is

If you change the username in lts.conf for "guest" login for a machine, does the button in LDM reflect it? Or will it always say "Log in as guest" ?
16:05
<vagrantc>
Lns: no, it just says guest.
16:06
we've had some issues with the user interface not being clear at freegeek ... trying to figure out a better idea for it.
16:07
<Lns>
vagrantc: ah, ok. I was just thinking, in my situations anyway, say a school with lots of classrooms, it might look more clear if it said "Log in as Room12" (if the un was Room12 that is).. but it's kinda moot i guess

16:08
the default text is a little confusing
16:08
i hate "click here" sort of things... but "click here to login into a guest account"
16:08
would be a little more explicit.
16:08
<Lns>
sure
16:08dark4og has left #ltsp
16:08
<Lns>
how about an lts.conf option to define your own?
16:09* Lns is starting to see that an ltsconf.d directory might seem nice in larger installations =)
16:09
<vagrantc>
yeah, that's definitely an easy way to handle it
16:10
yeah, ltsconf.d would be nice.
16:10
<Lns>
as long as it doesn't muck up the interface
16:10sindfil has joined #ltsp

anyway, just passing thoughts =)
16:14* vagrantc shares some of those passing thoughts
16:14
<vagrantc>
having someone else thinking them too helps motivate me to actually try it
16:16
<Gadi>
"Guest Login" seems plain to me
16:16
:)
16:17
<vagrantc>
as in plain is good?
16:17
<Gadi>
and then a comment in the status field: "Logging in as <username>...."
16:17
once pressed
16:17
<vagrantc>
ooooh
16:17
<Lns>
spicy
16:17
<Gadi>
one for the money, two for the show
16:17
<vagrantc>
i think we'd have to refactor the code, as the greeter doesn't actually have the code that determines the username
16:18
as it uses the same code as autologin, which doesn't even call the greeter
16:18
<Gadi>
in that case, the status is extra credit
16:18
just call the button "Guest Login"

have a good weekend, all

hi all... I just worked with Gadi to get to a better error
16:22
I now have a connection issue
16:22
Error Connect connection refused
16:23
mounting rofs on root rofs failed
16:23
and I drop to busybox
16:23
<vagrantc>
sounds like /etc/inetd.conf doesn't have an entry for nbdrootd
16:23
<Lumiere>
ok
16:23
how do I add it :)
16:23
<vagrantc>
grep nbd /etc/inetd.conf
16:24
<Lumiere>
I see 3 lines
16:24
just uncomment?
16:24
<vagrantc>
they're all commented out?
16:24
<Lumiere>
yea
16:24
swapd, rootd and rootd
16:24
<vagrantc>
you'll probably want the nbdrootd and nbdswapd ones uncommented ... not sure what the 3rd is
16:24
<Lumiere>
9572,2000,2001
16:24
<vagrantc>
ah.
16:24
ah.
16:25
<Lumiere>
and 2000 should serve i386
16:25
<vagrantc>
what's the difference between 2000 and 2001 ?
16:25
<Lumiere>
one is i386 the other is amd64
16:25
<vagrantc>
got it.
16:25
yeah, set 2000 to i386.
16:25
and once you've uncommented them: sudo invoke-rc.d openbsd-inetd restart
16:26
<Lumiere>
done
16:26
rebooting single client
16:26
<vagrantc>
that should help...
16:26
at least get yu a different error :)
16:26
<Lumiere>
btw, gadi had me disable /etc/rc*.d/nbd-server
16:26
which likely is why it did that XD
16:26
ok got a login screen
16:27
time to move to step 2
16:27
reconnect the switch
16:27
and start the rest up
16:27
<vagrantc>
the inetd entries are separate from the /etc/*.d/nbd-server stuff
16:27
<Lumiere>
yea I know
16:27
the reason I had that error
16:27
was Gadi had me shut down the nbd-server
16:27
<vagrantc>
manually configured nbd-server?
16:27
<Lumiere>
I think it was running as a service
16:28
<vagrantc>
yeah, we have better luck with running nbd-server from inetd
16:28
it's a lot more flexible that way
16:30
<Lumiere>
thank you very much

from time to time, we'll let kids on the primary server (unknown to them) and occasionally rather than log out, log them in as guest.
18:34
one of our students was using firefox under this scenario, and "suspended" the machine, shutting down the entire ltsp network.
18:34
this is not expected behaviour, ubuntu 9.04 ltsp server

hm...that's dumb. maybe ask in #ubuntu, it's not totally LTSP specific, tho it kinda is. anyway, it might be a gnome setting or something.

on a client, privileged user or unprivileged user, there are only two options, lock screen, and logout
