hrm.

latest ldm is borked ... the logo themes don't show up, and selecting the preferences menu causes it to crash.

stgraber or anyone: did ltspfsd got merged with ltspfsd-core in 0.5.12 version? I can't install both of them, there are conflicting files... maybe the package should "conflict ltspfsd-core < 0.5.12" ?
01:35
<vagrantc>
Conflicts: ltspfsd (<= 0.5.11-1)
01:35
at least in the debian packaging.
01:37
<ltsppbot>
"alkisg" pasted "List of the files in ltspfsd_0.5.12-0ubuntu1~ppa1_i386.deb" (34 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/479
01:37
<alkisg>
vagrantc: Does this ^^^ look right to you? I think the two packages got mixed up...
01:37
In Karmic (0.5.13) they are again 2 different packages, ltspfsd and ltspfsd-core...
01:38
It looks to me like the 0.5.12 package from stgraber's ppa contains more files than it should
01:39
<vagrantc>
looks a bit mixed up, yes.
01:40
<alkisg>
Hmmm maybe it uses the old scheme, before ltspfsd got splitted into 2 packages
01:40
<vagrantc>
yeah, i'm not sure when ubuntu merged those from debian
01:41artista has quit IRC
01:44
<alkisg>
vagrantc: how can I use apt-cache (or some other program) so that I can see which ltspfsd versions are available to which of my sources' repositories? (i.e. in the official jaunty repo vs stgraber's ppa vs ...)
01:45
<vagrantc>
apt-cache policy ltspfsd
01:45
<alkisg>
0.5.12-0ubuntu1~ppa1 0 ==> 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages
01:45
0.5.11-3ubuntu1~ppa1 0 ==> 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages
01:45
Can I see the full url there?
01:46* vagrantc doesn't see it
01:46
<vagrantc>
though you can piece it together...
01:47
<alkisg>
Hmmm I think I got where the problem happened
01:47
I think maybe stgraber uploaded a splitted version for jaunty, and then got back to the unified ltspfsd version
01:50
Argh and now the problem is, how can I uninstall the old "ltspfsd-core" and update "ltspfsd", apt-get won't let me... :(

02:29

alkisg: i forget off the top of my head.
02:30
alkisg: it's not as easy as i'd like, but it should be doable.
02:30

<isojussi>
got it working again, something wrong with my switch
03:28
another problem, is it posible to enable sudo user to change other users passwords? in user account control panel, You can't unlock it to change anything
03:30
<johnny>
sure.. altho eventuall policykit will probably control it
03:30
so expect to change your strategy in the next few releases
03:30
isojussi, visudo is what you should use
03:32
actually
03:32
just add your users to the wheel group
03:32
BUT.. it will mean they can change all passwords..
03:35Sarten-X has quit IRC
03:35Sarten-X2 has joined #ltsp
03:36
<isojussi>
problem is that a another admin cannot change other users passwords with GUI from clients
03:36
that admin has no access to server
03:38
<johnny>
from clients.. i don't know if you should enable it that way
03:39Sarten-X2 is now known as Sarten-X
03:40alkisg has joined #ltsp
04:06
<isojussi>
it worked before but when last updated to 8.04, it stopped working
04:08
<johnny>
oh.. then i have no idea, i don't really do that kind of thing with my thin clients
04:08
ask around at a later time, when more folks are about
04:09
<alkisg>
isojussi: it's dbus-related, you could vnc to the server, or use adduser
04:22
<isojussi>
I got it working from cli, gui is not important now.
04:23
somehow sudo passwd does not work but sudo passwd username works
04:25
<alkisg>
sudo passwd changes the password of the callee user
04:25
sudo passwd username changes the password of user "username"
04:26
<isojussi>
yes, but the first command won't change your password when i run it in cli from client
04:26
if i run sudo passwd myusername it changes my password
04:27
<alkisg>
Erm sorry it changes the password of the *root* user
04:28
You don't need "sudo" to change your own password
04:29
<isojussi>
This ltsp system is in a school, sometimes students forget their passwords so it would be nice to allow teacher to change student's passwords.
04:30
teacher has admin privileges, but i teached him to do it in cli so he does not need gui anymore
04:31
<alkisg>
I think webmin also has a nice interface for user management
04:35cyberorg has joined #ltsp
04:36
<isojussi>
hmm. i have it installed.Iĺl try thath
04:37
<ogra>
alkisg, ugh
04:37
<alkisg>
ogra, what? :)
04:38
<ogra>
webmin is a massive security hole in itself, there are reasons its not included in the archive anymore (neither in debian nor in ubuntu)
04:38
and it unconditionally changes /etc without taking the underlying system into account
04:38
<alkisg>
Oh really? Geezes... good thing I've never used it :)
04:38* ogra wouldnt recommend it to anyone
04:39* alkisg completely scratches webmin it from his brain... :)
04:39
<ogra>
i dont know how good it is, but ebox is a replacement thats maintained and has at least a bit of security support
04:40
its originally for ISPs to maintain headles CoLo servers, but should have a user management module you can use standalone
04:40
*headless

isojussi: ^^^

04:47
<alkisg>
A users-admin replacement is dearly needed, though... :-/
04:52alkisg has quit IRC
04:54
<ogra>
no, porper policykit (and thus d-bus) integration is needed
04:59
<isojussi>
i removed webmin, i'll try that ebox

hi guys, ive got ubuntu 9.04 ltsp on my server
06:33
do i need to install any kind of antivirus for it?
06:36
<sepski>
garymc, you would use a antivirus on a linux machine to look for windows viruses. forinstance on a mail server for windows clients. or on a fileserver for windows clients.
06:37
so no i do not think you need a antivirus on your ubuntu
06:38
<garymc>
oh ok
06:38F-GT has joined #ltsp
06:38
<garymc>
so if i put a mail server on to the open web thingy i would need an antivirus?
06:39
which one would i use and does it cost anything?
06:41
<sepski>
garymc, if you wanted to protect your windows users against viruses comming as mail to them. you would install a antivirus or 2 (or 3 ?) to keep the mail clean from virus.
06:42
but you would use the antivirus thru some mail scanning tool. forinstance amavis.
06:42
and it can support lots of different types. both free and comercial ones. (or all of them at once)
06:42
but that seams a bit overkill :)
06:43
clamav is as easy as apt-get in ubuntu tho.
06:53
<garymc>
you know anything about linking an Astlinux server into my ubuntu ltso server and giving each user a voip phone connectin?

07:42
<Carloz>
ok
07:42
me too.
07:42
Whats your question? maybe we can help eachother
07:45
My problem is with localapps. My default system language is spanish but when I install localapps they're in english and not spanish. I install the languange support in the chroot of client but still are in english
07:46
<garymc>
i aint got a clue sorry
07:47
<Carloz>
hahaha
07:47
whats ur problem?
07:50
<alkisg>
Carloz: distro/version?
07:50
<Carloz>
edubuntu 9.04
07:51
<alkisg>
What do you have in these files? cat /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/environment and cat /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/default/locale
07:52
<Carloz>
Ok give me a sec
07:54
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
07:54
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
07:55
<alkisg>
OK, change this to spanish
07:55cliebow has joined #ltsp
07:55
<alkisg>
and then run sudo ltsp-update-image
07:55
<Carloz>
that will change the language of my local installed apps?
07:55
<alkisg>
Yes
07:56
<Carloz>
ok thanks a lot.
07:56
<alkisg>
You're welcome
07:56
<Carloz>
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
07:56
like this?
07:56
<alkisg>
You can see the correct line by doing "echo $LANG" in a terminal that uses the spanish language, e.g. on the server
07:56
<Carloz>
ohh ok
07:56
thanks
07:57
got it
07:57
<alkisg>
(or `locale -a` to get the whole list)
08:00
<Carloz>
Thanks. I'll reboot later when classes are finished and I'll let you know if all went well :-)

Transfer a jaunty chroot (/opt/ltsp/i386) to a hardy box
09:05
ltsp-update-image hangs at 33%
09:05
mksquashfs is just sitting there, consuming 99% cpu.
09:05rjune_ has quit IRC
09:05
<ogra>
i'm surprised it works at all
09:05
with jaunty squashfs moved into the kernel
09:05rjune_ has joined #ltsp
09:06
<ogra>
you will need a hardy box to update the image
09:06
err
09:06
jaunty box, sorry
09:06
<laga>
that shouldn't break mksquashfs?
09:06
<ogra>
it does
09:06
i have the same prob on arm
09:06
with our liveimage builder
09:06
<sbalneav>
but I though ltsp-update-image doesn't do a chroot or anything?
09:07
<ogra>
it runs mksquashfs on the chroot
09:07
if mksquashfs doesnt work due to lacking kernel support you wont get an image
09:07
<laga>
that sounds broken. heh
09:08
<ogra>
it surely is but not really fixable in an easy way
09:08
even hardy's file command cant handle squashfs 4 images
09:08
not sure about v3
09:09
<laga>
i guess it's missing the magic file
09:09
<sbalneav>
hm, ok

yeah

does anyone know if restarting nbd-server will disconnect my client machines?
10:42yanu has quit IRC
10:48
<Gadi>
tstafford_: nbd-server should never be started in the first place
10:48
we run nbd out of inetd
10:48
<tstafford_>
i see
10:49
<Gadi>
if you were to stop the service, I am pretty sure it will kill all of your existing nbd-servers
10:49
and the client will lose its OS
10:50
<alkisg>
What's the purpose of the -persist parameter in nbd-client then?
10:51
<Gadi>
alkisg: it is possible that it will reconnect and spawn off another nbd-client because of that
10:51
I think that is the intent

hi
12:46
<_UsUrPeR_>
Mip5: yeah. if you run the following -- "ltsp-build-client --copy-sourceslist" it will integrate the server sources.list into the client's build
12:46
or you can just copy it over
12:46
though it's not needed for operation...
12:46
Were you going to be utilizing localapps or something?
12:46lucascoala has joined #ltsp
12:47
<Mip5>
_UsUrPer_ - cool, that's what I was thinking. Yeah - I thought I'd experiment with localapps and see how it goes
12:47
I'm hoping that they don't want to do too much media streaming - but I'd like to make that as efficient as possible
12:48
<_UsUrPeR_>
ok. If you need any help, myself or someone else in here should be able to point you in the right direction.
12:48
Actually, streaming with localapps really frees up a LOT of bandwidth
12:48
<moldy>
can i launch an X session on the terminal server over ssh from a non-ltsp machine?
12:48
<_UsUrPeR_>
youtube is downright watchable even.
12:48
<Mip5>
Cool - I'll definitely look into that then!
12:49
<_UsUrPeR_>
mip5: k. You'll need to install firefox, flash and java as localapps
12:49
not too big of a deal
12:49
just apt-get :)
12:49

moldy: are you asking if you can remotely control the desktop?
12:50
<Mip5>
Cool - I'll read up on the documentation for that.
12:50
<_UsUrPeR_>
if so: check out freenx
12:50
<moldy>
_UsUrPeR_: no, basically i just want to do run some program on the server
12:50
_UsUrPeR_: plain ssh x forwarding
12:50
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
12:50
i get this error
12:51
<_UsUrPeR_>
moldy: not quite familiar. Could you expand on what you want to do a little more?
12:52
<moldy>
_UsUrPeR_: ssh into terminal server, launch firefox, see firefox on the machine i am sshing from
12:52
i realize, it's not really an ltsp question
12:52
<Gadi>
moldy: are you using "ssh -X" ?
12:52
<moldy>
Gadi: yep
12:52
<Gadi>
try: ssh -Y instead
12:54
<moldy>
Gadi: that seems to work
12:55
Gadi: ok, next question: is it possible to get a full-blown desktop session that way?
12:55
<Gadi>
thats what we do
12:55
:)
12:55
<moldy>
Gadi: yeah, i mean from a non-ltsp machine, without too much effort :)
12:55
<Q-FUNK>
ah, there's life in here
12:56
<moldy>
i would like to test some ltsp-related stuff without having to put a thinclient next to my development machine :)
12:56
<Gadi>
oh
12:56
<Q-FUNK>
anybody here with GX2 Geode hardware willing to test what's currently in GIT?
12:56
<Gadi>
well, you could always use a virtual thin client
12:56
<ogra>
there is that vbox thing
12:57
<Gadi>
Q-FUNK: if you make a packaged deb for jaunty of the new code, I am happy to test on a livecd
12:57
<moldy>
hm, vbox might be an alternative
12:57
<Q-FUNK>
Gadi: done: https://launchpad.net/~q-funk/+archive/ppa
12:58
<Gadi>
Q-FUNK: am I just checking for proper operation?
12:58
ie - are you looking for yay/nay
12:58
<Q-FUNK>
we've made a bunch of changes in the GX2 defaults that shold at least make it work. among other things, aceleration now is XAA by default
12:59
yay/nay is a start. reports about any remaining buglet would also be welcome.

I'm mostly trying to decide whether those few fixes warrant pushing a new upstream out the door or not.
13:01
some of the cosmetic fixes would aready be useful for LX hardware, but I'm mostly interested in hearing whether GX2 finally works out of the box..
13:02
<moldy>
how would i need to set up the virtual machine so it can be used as an ltsp client?

Q-FUNK: may take a lil while longer - this bios doesn't support boot from usb cdrom :P
13:03
<Lns>
ho's it going?
13:03
<moldy>
the default network config seems to prevent the vbox from booting over the network
13:03
fine, thank you
13:04
<Gadi>
moldy: you need to bridge the virtual network to the actual one
13:04
and then set the VM'sbios to netboot
13:04
<moldy>
ok, i guessed so
13:05
now the question is how to setup the bridging for vbox
13:09
google turns up dozends of how-tos that all seem to contradict each other :-/
13:11* ogra just runs the server in vbox too
13:14
<moldy>
might be the easiest solution
13:14
<johnny>
there are multiple howtos because it became easier overtime to set it up
13:15
i think they fixed up the internal pxe client in recent versions
13:15
<moldy>
http://www.eglug.org/node/3439 i used that one now, seems to work

Hey Gang - I'm about to deploy my ltsp server to another building (different subnet). Is there anything else I need to do in addition to changing the address fo the server?
14:11
<moldy>
well, it depends a bit on the details of your setup
14:12
you probably need to change the ip address at more than one place
14:12
<johnny>
ltsp-update-sshkeys
14:12
<moldy>
check your dhcp config and update it accordingly
14:12
<Mip5>
The thin clients are on a separate vlan, so I won't need to change the dhcp setup for the clients - though I should look at it (now that you mention it).

I'm having problems getting F11 to boot off the CD in a vmware server I have created.

_UsUrPeR_: i've successfully installed F11 in vmware server... dunno what could be the issue

14:35

Is there an lts.conf (or ldm/ssh/pam/other) option to enforce a user to only log in once? (kind of like what gnome-watchdog does if it sees processes in use by a user logging in, but basically disallow subsequent logins)?

15:05

klausade: if you could mention the workaround in the bug report, that'd be good.
15:05

Maybe ltspfsd should conflict with the ltspfsd-core version that was uploaded in May, so that it gets removed?

stgraber: I'm not sure if I got this correctly... did you upload a 0.5.11 version with ltspfsd splitted into 2 packages, and then a 0.5.12 version with ltspfsd as 1 package again?
15:06
0.5.11 was published around May in your ppa
15:07
...and I had problems upgrading to 0.5.12 afterwards
15:08
<klausade>
vagrantc: i'll include that info in the bugreport, i'll just see how it works tomorrow for my users first.
15:10
<alkisg>
stgraber: so _if_ I got this straight, maybe uploading a new version, 0.5.12-0ubuntu1~ppa2, which would conflict _and_ replace ltspfsd-core <= 0.5.12, would make upgrading smoooth...
15:14

16:26
We're working on the VNC part right now, which will hopefully be integrated by the end of next week.
16:26

Sweet! Going fast :)
16:26

Yeah, I'm really impressed with the work moldy and yanqui have done :)
16:27
<alkisg>
I hope it'll get to be more stable than italc
16:27
<Lns>
There is also going to be (later) polkit integration, which will be really nice. They have also completely restructured the code so there's a backend and frontend - this will allow anyone to make their own frontend (web, curses, whatever you want)..so it's not tied to gnome or gtk.
16:28
alkisg: well it'll definitely be easier to install..as of right now there's 0 chroot modifications necessary

Lns, good idea, reusing vino...
16:30

16:31
just a couple of gconf keys flipped on and *poof* you're in, to any user session
16:31
<alkisg>
With italc you also don't need to install anything in the chroot if you don't want to manage the login screen
16:31
<Lns>
which is really good for resources/security as well (nobody can just jump on since vino isn't turned on until you connect)

i took a first look at debian python packaging yesterday, currently i am doing actual coding again, but i my impression is that packaging should be pretty easy :)
16:46bobby_C has quit IRC
16:46
<alkisg>
Aren't there already the debian/* files there, from previous tcm versions?
16:47
If so, debuild && dput will be all that it takes...
16:47
<moldy>
we dropped that
16:47
we changed so much that we decided it wasn't really worth keeping
16:47
<alkisg>
OK so a new debian/* dir will be needed
16:47
<moldy>
but afaik, there are tools that greatly help in creating the debian/ stuff
16:48
my first priority was to create a clean python package, then look at distribution-specific packaging
16:48
http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/tree/master <-- this looks neat
16:49
i did a quick test run of it, though i did not test it thorougly... it seems to be able to generate much of the debian/* boilerplate, so you just need to tune a few settings to get a source .deb
16:52* alkisg tried a few ways of auto-generating debian/* files, but ended up using a template and editing them manually...
16:52
<moldy>
yeah, might be an alternative :)
16:52
i will look more closely into this when the code is release-ready :)
16:55

Hello! Could someone help me out please? I'm trying to change something in the ldm greeter source code and recompile it, but I cant get it to work properly.

Ryan52: I think the problem might be that I'm using an AMD64 kernel and the client is i386, I should compile it with some argument to make it i386 right?
19:59
I should probably try that first :x
20:00
<Ryan52>
no
20:00
you need a cross compiling toolchain probably.
20:00
which is a big PITA to set up..
20:00
<LamaZ>
hmm
20:00lucascoala has quit IRC

<LamaZ>
I just want to change a hardcoded string in the ldm greeter
20:00
<Ryan52>
so, your best bet is to probably to build on an i386 machine or inside your LTSP chroot.
20:01
do you need help doing that?
20:01
or do you just need help building?
20:01
or have I answered all of your questions?
20:02
<LamaZ>
I think I'l try to chroot to my i386 ltsp and build from there
20:02
It should work, thanks :)
20:03
so if I do chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 and get the source & build from there it will be a i386 binary?

LamaZ: ya.
20:46
LamaZ: tho you should run that under linux32 anyway.
20:48
<LamaZ>
I installed a i386 VM and did it from there, about to test it out
21:00
Ryan52: It works! Thanks for your help :)

johnny... you around?
22:23
<johnny>
yes
22:23
i haven't seen knipwim tho
22:23
<Beer30>
bummer
22:23
<johnny>
knipwim, where are you?
22:23
<Beer30>
so, I take it you haven't had a chance to commit any changes?
22:24
<johnny>
well.. i need somebody to help test it.. i can't do nothin
22:24
<Beer30>
... did one of those changes happen to be with quickstart or the quickstart profile file?.... there appears to be something strange going on with that.
22:24
<johnny>
and knipwim was already trying to get commit access, and has things
22:24
yes
22:25
i can commit those.. once i verify they work via knipwim
22:25
<Beer30>
ooooh
22:26
<johnny>
he told me he was gonna test what he has.. with some suggestions
22:26
i don't have the final result yet
22:28
<Beer30>
I've been fighting and fighting trying to get ltsp-server to build, then when I finally got it, could not get ltsp-build-client to work for nuttin'. keeps doing a double chroot or something.
22:29
now I broke my server, so I'm back to reinstalling that.... :(

<Beer30>
have you talked to knipwim lately?
22:32
<johnny>
yes.. he fixed the double chroot problem
22:32
<Beer30>
oh cool
22:32
<johnny>
i think he has it completely buildable again
22:32
including the required new use flags
22:32
<Beer30>
glad it wasn't me mucking things up... ;)
22:32
<johnny>
i just made some suggestions as to where to use them at
22:33
ultimately.. quickstart is just the glue we have at the moment for building chroots
22:33
we'll probably move to something that does less once it works
22:33
the other goal is to find a place to host the tarball
22:33
or an entire chroot
22:33
one updated once a week or somethin
22:34
<Beer30>
that would be nice. I've often thought that would be a good idea. need some sort of stabel base to build off of.
22:36
<dberkholz>
gentooexperimental could be a decent place to put stuff
22:37try2free has left #ltsp
22:38
<Beer30>
definitely fits the profile ;)
22:40
<johnny>
dberkholz, you never replied to my message about a vm
22:40
did yo uget it?
22:41
<dberkholz>
no
22:41
but if it's on gentoo hardware, i wouldn't expect anything
22:46
<johnny>
oh..
22:46
<Beer30>
speaking of vm's... mine is acting funny. brb... and thanks for all your work you two :)
22:46
<johnny>
dberkholz, i asked if there was somebody who might provide a vm for playing with the code
22:46
and building chroots
22:46
i have no gentoo box for quite some time
