Hi appiah
04:57
I odered a server with a AMD Phenom II X4 should I install the 64 bit AMD version on Ubuntu 9.04 LTSP there, or the 32 bit version?
04:58
the clients are all old 32 bit machines
04:58
<Appiah>
if I had a server with 64bit processor i'd run 64bit
04:58
you can build a 32bit image for the clients
04:59
<RobertBerger_>
How would you build the 32bit image in ubuntu?
04:59
<Appiah>
ltsp-build-client --arch=i386
04:59
and you're all set
04:59
<RobertBerger_>
I see thanks!
04:59
So I'll download the 64 bit images
05:00
<Appiah>
yupp you can get the 64bit Ubuntu
05:10
<knipwim>
hmm, i can't seem to start into fluxbox on my new server
05:11
i can log in with ssh and x forwarding works
05:12
removing the LDM_SESSION = /usr/bin/fluxbox in lts.conf works but starts the default Xsession
05:12
i checked settings between my old (works) and new server
05:12
am i missing something?

RobertBerger_: what problems? that's very vauge
05:58
<RobertBerger_>
Appiah: I like this one: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2009-January/170313.html
05:59
<Appiah>
well I dont see a confirmation about the problem
06:00
could have been a bug with mainboard?
06:00
<RobertBerger_>
I saw also other posts where people are happier with their ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 than with Windoze, but this does not mean much;)
06:01
<Appiah>
:D
06:01
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ try some searching here
06:02
so you can see if there are actully confirmed bugs that has to do with Phenom
06:02
it could be other hardware and have nothing to do with the CPU at all
06:04vvinet has joined #ltsp
06:05
<RobertBerger_>
Appiah: There do not seem to be any specific bugs at all with the Phenom processor, just related to other HW, as you already mentioned

What's the current thinking on flash crashes in 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy? I've read how some versions of flash work better than others - Should I just use the supplied package?
07:01
<_UsUrPeR_>
blinny: flash crashes?
07:03lucascoala has quit IRC
07:03
<Blinny>
Only about 10 times a day...
07:04
(for my user.. others more)
07:04lucascoala has joined #ltsp
07:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
blinny: I am unfamiliar withthe entire concept. Does it have to do with USB flash keys?
07:05
<Blinny>
I'm sorry. No, libflashplayer
07:06
flashplugin-nonfree
07:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
oh
07:06
<Blinny>
(;
07:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
is that running as a localapp or from the server?
07:07vagrantc_ has joined #ltsp
07:07
<Blinny>
From the server.
07:07vagrantc has quit IRC
07:08
<_UsUrPeR_>
hmm
07:08
what does the crash look like?
07:08marvel has joined #ltsp
07:09
<Blinny>
Well, because it's 64-bit (nspluginwrapper) it doesn't take down Mozilla. But all the flash apps just show as gray boxes.
07:09
I've even tried Firefox's flashblock extension so I have to click each app to load, thinking perhaps fewer instances per page would help.
07:10
I think perhaps my gmail notifier plugin may be involved though - after a flash crash, the sound that plays to notify of new mail plays just static. Perhaps it uses flash to play the sound.
07:11DaZ has quit IRC
07:12
<_UsUrPeR_>
huh
07:13
<Blinny>
Maybe I'll try the v10 64-bit alpha
07:25lucascoala has quit IRC
07:26lucascoala has joined #ltsp

<_UsUrPeR_>
blinny: try this script I have put together. I run it to install on 9.04 and it's worked for me 100% of the time.
07:28
<Blinny>
OK shoot
07:30
<_UsUrPeR_>
http://twiki.acurrus.com/cgi-bin/twiki/viewfile/Main/InstallX64components?rev=1;filename=install-flash10-x64.sh
07:30
follow that link
07:30
chmod it to +x and run it on your server
07:30
be sure to purge the old flash files prior to installing
07:30
<Blinny>
Yes. Do I have to killall flash?
07:31
I just had someone call me saying their browser keeps disappearing (l;
07:31
or will it simply need a reload
07:31
<_UsUrPeR_>
naw, just aptitude purge <name of flash program>.
07:31
I'm not sure which version you have :)
07:31
<Blinny>
Dig.
07:33
Hmm Let's try that again. I got a gzip unexpected EOF. Maybe bad download
07:33
There.
07:34
That worked. Thank you, _UsUrPeR_. Do you know of any downside to using the 64-bit plugin (other than a crash taking out the entire browser instance?)
07:34
<_UsUrPeR_>
Blinny: nope. I have not experienced any crashes as of yet.
07:35
if your thin clients can handle it, I would recommend you try installing flash as a localapp though.
07:35
<Blinny>
Yeh, most of mine can't. And I don't think Hardy can support a localapps easily can it?
07:36
<_UsUrPeR_>
oh right :)
07:37
no, it won't work
07:37
<Blinny>
Cheers.

sbalneav: ping
09:49* vagrantc_ waves to stgraber
09:54
<stgraber>
hey vagrantc_
09:54
any other changes you're doing on ltsp-trunk or should we tag+release what's currently there ?
09:55
<vagrantc_>
stgraber: i just tagged 5.1.79
09:55
and pushed
09:55
<stgraber>
oh, you just did :)
09:55
<vagrantc_>
a little more testing, and i'll upload to debian
09:56
this was pretty much the "hacking at debconf" upload
09:58
now that it's probably obsolete, debian finally split inputattach out of the joystick package :)
10:01
<ogra>
heh
10:01
why should it be obsolete
10:02
there is still no better solution for serial mice
10:02
<vagrantc_>
oh, well, good, then.
10:03
i was thinking with all the new input handlers, it was probably obsoleted by now, but thankfully there are others who know what they're talking about :)
10:03
<ogra>
well, the new design will handle serial even worse
10:04
since it relies completely on the kernel being able to autodetect HW
10:04
<vagrantc_>
here's to progress!
10:04
<johnny>
one day the serial mices will all die..
10:04* vagrantc_ always liked the goal of autodetection with easy way to override
10:04
<ogra>
its a HW prob you cant solve in SW
10:05
th eonly way to detect a serial mouse is by getting input from the port (wiggle the mouse)
10:05
<vagrantc_>
it's more mouse-like devices that i think most people need
10:05
well, the ones that are hanging on longer
10:05
<ogra>
there are tons of really expensive serial devices you will trash if you start sending data to the serial port
10:05Blinny has joined #ltsp
10:05
<vagrantc_>
wheee!
10:06
<johnny>
ogra, sounds like a design flaw :(
10:06
<ogra>
else it would be easily possible to send something and check the feedback
10:06
it is, serial isnt a very safe thing, thats why it went away over time :)
10:06
<vagrantc_>
stgraber: were you planning on another upload soon?
10:07
<johnny>
i'm just glad i haven't come into contact wit hsuch things in awhile
10:09
<vagrantc_>
switching to inputattach saved the debian chroot nearly 90k of disk space!
10:10
<johnny>
knipwim, sup? any updates?
10:10
<knipwim>
just finished my new ltsp server
10:11
working on an updated text for the wiki
10:11
i'm making it in guidexml this time
10:12makghosh has joined #ltsp
10:12
<knipwim>
then i can make the mediawiki-text using an xslt
10:13
<johnny>
did you get commit access to the ebuilds ?
10:13
<knipwim>
not yet
10:13
did you reply to donnie?
10:13
<johnny>
yes
10:14
we need a todo list place
10:14
knipwim, the genkernel peeps just don't seem to have our interests in mind
10:14
we might want to consider using dracut
10:15
there are a few distro inconsistancies to solve.. but it doesn't look serious
10:16ball has joined #ltsp
10:16
<johnny>
we can probably get our problems fixed easier with them
10:16
and even use nbd
10:18
<knipwim>
what's the difficulty with genkernel?

Hi, I have just purchased some second hand rack servers. Am i able to install and use LTSP on them?
10:19
They are HP Dual 2.8ghz 4 gb Ram machines
10:19
<johnny>
garymc, why wouldn't you be able to?
10:20
just depends on how many clients
10:20
knipwim, the problem is the lack of net modules
10:20
<garymc>
Well ive loaded LTSP on a computer as a moc test server and it loads a GUI
10:20
<johnny>
and the hardcoded list with no ability to easily override
10:20
<garymc>
Even the machine acting as a server
10:20
<johnny>
moc?
10:20
<garymc>
You know a test machine before buying the servers
10:21
MOC
10:21
<johnny>
what does moc mean?
10:21
i just call it test
10:21
<garymc>
It means FAKE
10:21
Or test
10:21
<johnny>
that's mock
10:21
not moc
10:21
<garymc>
I like MOC ;) quicker to type
10:21
<johnny>
but it doesn't mean anything
10:21
<garymc>
it does to me :)
10:21
<johnny>
use words that actually mean something
10:21
but not to the people you talk to
10:21
<garymc>
in future ill use mock
10:22
<johnny>
well ubuntu is going to load a gui by default
10:22
unless you use alternative
10:22
for example
10:22
<garymc>
so when setting up these servers do I have to turn monitors off in the bio etc
10:22
<johnny>
same with fedora 11
10:22
or rather fedora in general
10:22
<garymc>
Im using LTSP with FODEORA 10
10:22
<johnny>
then yes.. it will install a gui unless you unselected it
10:22
jsut remove gdm from the runlevels
10:22
if you don't want it
10:23
<garymc>
but will my clients get a gui when they boot from network card?
10:23
<johnny>
sure
10:23
that's all handled in the chroot
10:23
<garymc>
is it easy to configure that?
10:23
<johnny>
configure what?
10:23
<garymc>
I never seen a deselect GUI wehn I was installing
10:23
<johnny>
there are commands to edit the runlevels
10:23
<garymc>
but sounds like it must be there
10:23
oh ok
10:24
<johnny>
i don't know them, but you can look them up
10:24
<garymc>
Cool
10:24
<johnny>
i just do stuff like find /etc/rc.d -name 'gdm' -exec rm {} \;
10:24
or whatever it may be
10:25
<garymc>
I got 3 servers Dual 2.88 GHZ with 4mb Ram each SCSI drives two of each with 146gb on them
10:25
<johnny>
your milage may vary
10:25
<garymc>
10:26
Is that a good deal you reckon?
10:26
I thgouht it was so I get them 2morow
10:27
Well johnny thanks for answering my questions you have helped eleviate some of my thoughts

johnny: i could setup a wiki for collaboration

a wiki isn't necessarily a good place for a todo list tho
10:33
<knipwim>
it's a bit overkill indeed
10:33
but there's plenty of room to elaborate on a problem or idea

Hello guys, have an issue with a couple Acer flat panel monitors. the screen auto adjusts way over to the right
13:35
the monitor ends up auto adjusting when the pc boots, when the ubuntu loading screen shots, and then when rdesktop opens up
13:36
it's a long shot, but are there any tricks to center the screen, or am I better off installing the monitor's driver on the windows TS

<Lns>
johnny: refresh my memory, i have crc errors ;)
13:49
<johnny>
i wonder if they would act as an umbrella organization
13:49
Lns, funding things that specifically help thin clients?
13:49
raising money
13:49
perhaps hiring developers?
13:49
<Lns>
aaha
13:50
<johnny>
Lns, also.. you might want to perhaps look into organizing gsoc or ghop projects for ltsp project
13:50
<Lns>
johnny: it sounds like a good idea, let me check out linuxfund and see what they have to offer
13:52
http://www.opensourceforamerica.org/ - looks like a good place to rally support dollars..ltsp+public education...
13:52marius-- has joined #ltsp
13:52
<Lns>
linuxfund joined them
13:53
<cnc>
Lns: are you trying to find funding for ltsp in education?
13:53
<Lns>
cnc: ltsp in general, but sure
13:53
<cnc>
Lns: in the us, wouldn't be too hard. erate erate erate
13:54
lol
13:54
basically the government pays under privileged schools for technology
13:54
so lets say, a school district has 90% or more of kids that get free lunches (meaning their parents aren't rich)
13:55
2 out of 5 years they get funded for as many servers/network devices as they need. they pay 10% and the government pays 90%
13:55
<Lns>
wow
13:55
<cnc>
The company I work for is an erate contractor, and we're trying to standardize the product/solution we put out there
13:55
<Lns>
had no idea about that
13:56
cnc: what's your solution ?
13:56
<cnc>
we sell a microsoft TS setup, complete with domain, but very very restricted access (things like no right clicking and etc)
13:56
95% of users do nothing but work in TS
13:56
the other 5% run win95 legacy applications that just won't work on TS
13:56
in a nutshell
13:57
we use vmware, (working on switching to ubuntu+kvm)
13:57
virtualize all their servers, and I mean every single one
13:57
<Lns>
wow, sounds a lot like what i do :)
13:57
<cnc>
setup all desktops and thin clients to go straight to ts
13:57
<Lns>
but i focus on open source ltsp solutions
13:58
<cnc>
unfortenly the problem is windows/microsoft. if we could eliminate that, it would be awesome but we just haven't found a ts replacement yet thats linuxed based that can run windows apps
13:58
want to see what our setup looks like? i'll let you Ts in
13:59
<Lns>
it's ok, but thanks =) what about ltsp? Use a Windows TS for the windows apps and use linux for the rest (desktop productivity, web browsing, etc)
14:00
<cnc>
it's up to the client, they don't like using two different interfaces
14:00
they want to go one place and do everything
14:00
lol, they are schools, teachers aren't big on change
14:02
the company i work for is working with the state we are in, to get our solution to be the standard that every school in this state will use
14:03
and ltsp is part of that solution

I plan on tagging ltsp-trunk later today
14:04
after I get the pulseaudio shm fix into fedora
14:05
<Blinny>
cnc: sorry, work took me away. I did a quick search, and I think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131396 is the board, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147134 is the case+PS, and you can get RAM anywhere. That and 10 minutes assembly, *poof* there's your thin client.
14:05
<Ryan52>
warren: ok
14:05
<warren>
Ryan52: did you have any time to look at fedora ltsp?
14:05
<johnny>
hey warren :)
14:05
you gonna build a pidgin 2.6.0 for f11?
14:05
<warren>
Ryan52: I'd actually appreciate it if you could figure out how the pulseaudio shm thing checked in for debian works
14:05
<johnny>
:)
14:06
<warren>
johnny: it isn't released yet
14:06
<johnny>
i know
14:06
<Ryan52>
warren: forgot to
14:06
<johnny>
warren, i see you've done some dracut work too
14:06
<warren>
johnny: yeah, it implements netboot over everything
14:06
<johnny>
do you know what the future is in regards to choosing what kernel modules get included in the initramfs?
14:06
atm the default seems to be just a find
14:06
<warren>
johnny: not really
14:06
<Ryan52>
warren: what specifically are you talking about? if it's something on some ML/bug, I most likely don't read those.
14:06
<johnny>
ahh too bad :(
14:06
<warren>
Ryan52: no
14:06
Ryan52: look at ltsp-trunk
14:07
<johnny>
warren, i see a gentoo developer got a commit in.. but still a bit more needs to be done
14:07
<warren>
Ryan52: it is the issue where low memory clients don't startup because pulseaudio wants to allocate a default of <big number> for shm
14:07
Ryan52: but network pulseaudio doesn't even use shm
14:07
<johnny>
but not alot it seems
14:07
<warren>
Ryan52: so we should turn it off
14:07
<johnny>
warren, so how are you doing lately?
14:07
<warren>
johnny: been working on other stuff
14:08
<johnny>
are you doing ok?
14:08
<warren>
I suppose so.
14:09
<johnny>
warren, i hope one of your fedora peeps gets on the ball with the 2.6.30 kernel update for f11 ..
14:09* johnny needs his sound again :)
14:10
<warren>
johnny: is it fixed in the upstream kernel?
14:10
johnny: sound issues you really need to talk to alsa-project.org and upstream kernel
14:10
<johnny>
i don't know.. i just know the patch is attached to a bug
14:10
<warren>
johnny: we ship whatever is upstream
14:10
johnny: which?
14:10
<johnny>
and the person commenting said it would be released in an upcoming 2.6.30
14:10
<warren>
johnny: does that patch work for you?
14:10
<Blinny>
cnc: My bad. Actually we use this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121383

14:10
<johnny>
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506075
14:11
warren, i don't know how to build a kernel package with an attached patch yet
14:11
<Lns>
cnc: and FYI...teachers embrace change whenever they understand the benefits.. it's not too difficult to communicate the benefits of using open source in education
14:11
<Blinny>
cnc: Only thing we had to do was turn off the 2nd core, as it wouldn't boot otherwise.
14:11
<johnny>
rpms that is
14:12
comment 17 is what i'm talking about
14:13
<warren>
johnny: it seems we don't have 2.6.30 builds
14:13
<johnny>
and yes it is in upstream
14:13
not yet :)
14:14
i don't know that chuck ebbert fella
14:15* johnny is watching koji
14:16
<bieb>
this file says it is specific to Ubuntu 8.04.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LockdownHomeDirs anyone know if it still works for 9.04??
14:16
<johnny>
warren, building kernels takes forever on my laptop .. so i've been trying to avoid it
14:17
especially just for a single patch :)
14:17
<warren>
johnny: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/
14:18* Lns goes to purchase replacement ram for his backup server & firewall...what's up with all this bad ram lately
14:18
<warren>
johnny: you could temporarily use one of the kernel builds here
14:18
johnny: try the latest 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 builds
14:18
<Lns>
bieb: i'm sure it's ok for jaunty
14:18
<johnny>
2.6.30 doesn't include it for sure
14:18
<Lns>
that's all basic linux stuff, not really even distro specific
14:18
<johnny>
not yet
14:18
the last update was june
14:19
<warren>
johnny: upstream what version contains it?
14:19
johnny: well try the 2.6.31, it might work depending on your video card
14:19IBC_jkenney has joined #ltsp

<johnny>
that's the problem :(
14:19
<warren>
Ryan52: damn, two problems in Fedora 12, pulseaudio daemon not starting on client, and vt's on VT2-6 are not starting despite lts.conf
14:20
Ryan52: both unknown reasons
14:20
Ryan52: ltsp-build-client --release=12
14:20
<johnny>
i also wasn't familiar with what happens when you install a kernel for a different dist
14:20
<warren>
Ryan52: oh, you need to upgrade rpm on Fedora 11 to install a Fedora 12 chroot.
14:20
<johnny>
but i guess the kernel deps haven't changed all that much
14:20
<bieb>
Lns: thanks... I was asking because I know some of the other doc's that are for earlier releases have been updated if there are directory changes
14:20
<warren>
johnny: kernels are mostly OK
14:20
<johnny>
yeah.. it's mostly self contained
14:20
mostly..

14:36
I have 3 servers the same
14:36
I want to link the other two to my ltsp server
14:36
server 2 will have asterisk on it
14:37
is it possible to use ltsp and my clients to have the astlinux server on their comp?
14:37
if you know what I mean
14:38
will they all linki and seem like one machine to my user
14:38

14:43

ok, so... X_VIRTUAL = "2880 2880"
14:43
let;s see if we can do that much

this is an intel board?

14:46Patina has joined #ltsp
14:46
<IBC_jkenney>
on the ltsp file system then update the image
14:46
?
14:47
so do i edit it in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
14:47
<johnny>
no..
14:47
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
14:48
no need to update image then
14:48
<IBC_jkenney>
ahh i do not have a lts.conf file in there
14:48
can i copy it from
14:48
/opt/ltsp/...
14:49
<warren>
Ryan52: oh boy
14:49
<Gadi>
IBC_jkenney: just create a new file
14:49
<warren>
Ryan52: tftp client segfaulting
14:49
<Gadi>
start with: [default]
14:49
<IBC_jkenney>
ok
14:49
<Gadi>
and then list "param=value"
14:49
underneath
14:50
in your case, I recommend: X_VIRTUAL = "2880 2880"
14:51
and perhaps a nice: SCREEN_07 = ldm
14:51
<IBC_jkenney>
X_MODE_0 = "1680x1050"
14:51
X_MODE_1 = "1680X1050"
14:51
<Gadi>
and: SCREEN_08 = shell
14:51
<thaper>
right but lts.conf now says: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
14:51
<Gadi>
whats that for?
14:51
IBC_jkenney: we won't be setting X_MODES
14:52
<IBC_jkenney>
that is what some of the documentation told me to use toget this to work
14:52
ok
14:52
<thaper>
and that is so we dont have to ltsp-update-image
14:52
<Gadi>
IBC_jkenney: we're gonna use XRANDR

if it's only in the client, I'm not home, so I can't debug stuff. (only have a Debian laptop with me)
14:56
otherwise I can get a Fedora chroot and fix it.

15:01
i went to resize to 1440X900 on each monitor and it blinked and came up with the correct resolution then i got a error from HAl and the screen went blank
15:01
i am rebooting the thin client

15:02

ah, ok
15:02
<IBC_jkenney>
and not all thin clients will be dual Display
15:02

ok

so i am rebooted
15:02
<Gadi>
ok
15:03
<IBC_jkenney>
internal error failed to initialize hal
15:03
<Gadi>
thats when you resize?
15:03

is that a dialog box coming from gnome?

15:55
<bieb>
Lns: the mapping is the issue.. I went to /home and chmoded to 770.. and no one in /home/%DOMAIN%/ could login.. so I re-chmoded /home and chmoded /home/%DOMAIN%/ to 770 and that worked.. the issue is when a new account is created it doesn't get the correct permissions from /etc/adduser.conf "DIR_MODE=0770" because their homedir is not in /home
15:55
so I wasnt sure how to make that adjustment in adduser.conf
