how do i properly logout a user from a shell on the server?
05:51
killing the sshd process makes the thinclient hang
05:52
<sepski>
kill the shell ?
05:52
<moldy>
sepski: hm, any suggestion on how to identify the correct process to kill?
05:53
bash -c LTSP_CLIENT=192.168.0.22 <-- that one might be it
05:54
sepski: great, that seems to work nicely, thank you :)
05:54
<sepski>
pstree -p -u username , or just pkill -u username
05:55
<moldy>
sepski: pkill -u username is what i have done so far, but that usually makes the thinclient hang
05:55
i want it to go back to ldm so another user can login

CAN-o-SPAM: Hello!
09:09
<CAN-o-SPAM>
scotty how's everything goin up there?
09:10
<sbalneav>
Goin' good. Making progress on Sabayon.
09:11
<ogra>
eel free to ping me if you have something to upload to karmic ;)
09:11
<CAN-o-SPAM>
exactly why i was tracert'ing you ... i want to make sure rcc is in tune with everything goin on
09:12bieb has joined #ltsp
09:12
<CAN-o-SPAM>
sbalneav: you are working on taking care of the crash in 9.10 right? I know he was going to try and backport the latest sabayon into 9.04
09:13
<sbalneav>
ogra: Well, last night we actually got a version that you can edit profiles on without crashing and burning :)
09:13
<ogra>
i see the mails passing by :)
09:13
<sbalneav>
CAN-o-SPAM: No, for now, I'm basing my work on 9.04
09:13
when I get something working there, we can produce a karmic package.
09:13
<CAN-o-SPAM>
ok, have you been e-mailing back and forth with him? is there anyone else doing significant work on this that he doesnt know about?

CAN-o-SPAM: Yeah, I sent him an email about 10 minutes ago. Currently, right now, I think the only people seriously working on it hard are the main maintainer (federico) and myself.
09:15
Within Ubuntu, I think I'm it for trying to get it working. I've heard of no-one else.

Ahmuck-Sr: Get your raid problem sorted out?
10:21
<ogra>
did he turn from a junior to a senior ?
10:22
<Ahmuck-Sr>
not sure
10:22
i've read that linux md sometimes looses files
10:22
anyhow it's starting ok, and hasn't stated that disk order has changed today
10:22
anywho, sbalneav on sabayon, still having problems with crashing upon quit
10:22
<sbalneav>
Crashing upon quit?
10:24
Can you elaborate, please?
10:25
<Ahmuck-Sr>
k, this time it didn't
10:25
however upon start, i noticed the firefox icon was gone, whereas it was there before
10:25
however upon start, i also noticed i had unchecked internet
10:25
so, internet was not checked, but firefox icon was in the bar
10:25
i assume sabayon said no no, and crashed because of the conflict
10:26
anyhow, this is a great tool
10:26
exactly what we've been looking for. we can now customize it to users, for example, those in journalism can now have scribus added, whereas those in music can have their menu's loaded with music apps
10:26
kindergartent, etc.
10:27
hrm, need to switch to edubuntu now it looks like
10:28
so i've got some questions about the sabayon, and the future
10:30garymc has joined #ltsp

sbalneav: hrm, however it did not apply the settings to the user. is there something else i need to do ?

<garymc>
Hi pepes, im still having issues with my Launcher opening with gedit instead of displaying it in firefox. Anyone know how I can fix this?
10:30
*people
10:31
<Ahmuck-Sr>
garymc: don't understand your question entirely
10:31
<garymc>
I created shared launchers to display on all my clients desktops when they log in
10:32
When my clients double click the launchers Firefox opens and they see the intranet weblink i want them to see.
10:32
Now when I click these launchers in my account 'gary' they open in GEDIT
10:32
not firefox
10:32
why is this?
10:33
<Ahmuck-Sr>
gedit is associated with text files. the os thinks that your launcher is a text file
10:33
<garymc>
but my os
10:33
is the same as all other users
10:34
<Ahmuck-Sr>
only you are getting this problem?
10:34
<ogra>
did you try removing the launchers and re-login to get them recreated ?
10:34
<garymc>
ogra : yes
10:34
and yes
10:34
just me
10:34
<Ahmuck-Sr>
then the association that's setup on that account is wrong
10:35
<garymc>
how do i fix them
10:35
<Ahmuck-Sr>
what distro?
10:35
<ogra>
if you are not to dedicated to your users current settings i'd remove all config for that user by deleting the dotfiles/dirs
10:36
<Ahmuck-Sr>
system --> preferences --> prefered applications in ubuntu
10:36
<ogra>
that doesnt apply to mimetypes
10:37
<garymc>
so ogra you say i need to delete account 'gary' ?
10:37
<Ahmuck-Sr>
garymc: no, he's telling you to "rm -rf .*" in garys home directory
10:37
<garymc>
right iam a newbie
10:37
how do i do that?
10:37
<Ahmuck-Sr>
but don't do that till you get confirmation frmo somebody else
10:37
you need to open a terminal
10:37
<garymc>
?
10:37
ok
10:38
terminal open
10:38
<Ahmuck-Sr>
the other way is to open a file browser, uncheck hidden files and any folder/file with .something needs to be deleted
10:38
understand that any customizations that you have will be los
10:38
<moldy>
Lns: ping me when you're here:)
10:38
<Ahmuck-Sr>
t
10:38* Ahmuck-Sr bumps sbalneav
10:38
<garymc>
what sort of thingS?
10:39
ive CHOWNed gary to certain folders etc
10:39
<Ahmuck-Sr>
well for example, firefox bookmarks
10:39
<garymc>
like /var/www/
10:39
<Ahmuck-Sr>
thunderbird e-mail
10:39
<garymc>
the bookmarks dont matter
10:39
email im not using yet
10:39
<Ahmuck-Sr>
gary, "cd /home/gary" in the terminal
10:39
<garymc>
ok
10:39
done
10:39
<Ahmuck-Sr>
let's do pm
10:40
<sbalneav>
Ahmuck-Sr: So, you've associated the user with the profile?
10:40
<Ahmuck-Sr>
sbalneav: yes
10:40
do i need to re-build the chroot?
10:40
<sbalneav>
No
10:40
Sabayon happens server side
10:40
<Ahmuck-Sr>
that's what i thought
10:41
<sbalneav>
Are there any indications of sabayon-apply failing in the users .xsession-errors file?
10:41
<garymc>
you talking to me?
10:41
<Ahmuck-Sr>
k, sbalneav have another question. it used to be in the linux/*nix world that the dot files held configuration. i noticed openoffice and a browser config. is it possible to pick up the dot files and modify them in the user's directories, lock them down, and add per application to sabayon?
10:41
<sbalneav>
Ahmuck-Sr: Lets have this in #edubuntu, where we wont confuse others
10:42
<Ahmuck-Sr>
sbalneav: sure
10:47
<ogra>
Ahmuck-Sr, doing pm for something like a rm command is a very very bad idea :P if you make a typo there is the chance that others see it and can should stop in the channel :)
10:47
s/should/shout/
10:49
<Ahmuck-Sr>
ogra: yes, that i understand. i've verified the directory just to be sure. i thought this was ltsp off topic
10:51
<ogra>
well, we did all the rest here so you can do the final stuff here too :)
10:51
<garymc>
How easy is it to setup a printer on LTSP ubuntu 9.04?
10:51
so all users use it?
10:51
I have a printer that has Network socket on it
10:51
<Ahmuck-Sr>
easy
10:51
<garymc>
do i need the drivers for it?
10:52
<Ahmuck-Sr>
depends
10:52
<ogra>
garymc, how about doing one thing at a time ;)
10:52
<Ahmuck-Sr>
ogra: i'll make a note. i wasn't sure how long it'd take
10:52
<garymc>
ogra: Ahmuck-sr helped me fix the last issue lol :)
10:52
<ogra>
ah
10:52
<garymc>
im now fixed
10:53
beleive me i cant do more than one thing at a time
10:53
;)
10:53
<moldy>
garymc: what kind or printer is it (vendor, model)?
10:53
<garymc>
hold on ill check
10:53Faithful has quit IRC
10:53
<garymc>
hp officejet 7130 all in one
10:53
<moldy>
garymc: alot of printers work more or less "out of the box" in 9.04, some require that you manually install drivers
10:54
hp generally works well
10:54
<garymc>
*7310
10:54
so i just hook it upto the server
10:54
reboot server?
10:54
and we all done?
10:54
<moldy>
no reboot necessary
10:54Faithful has joined #ltsp
10:55
<garymc>
ok, so i just hook the printer to the ethernet switch?
10:55
<moldy>
yes
10:56
<garymc>
and the server will find it all by itself?
10:56
and i click print
10:56
and hey presto?
10:56
<moldy>
depends. you have a dhcp server running, i assume?
10:56
<garymc>
i think so?
10:56
<moldy>
well, you need to make sure the printer's network configuration fits into your setup
10:57
either configure it as a dhcp client (often the default), or give it an ip that is on your subnet, but not used by your dhcp server
10:57
<garymc>
ok
10:57
i suppose i will just try
10:57
and see what happens :)
10:57sene has quit IRC
10:57

exactly
10:57
<garymc>
ok
10:57
well thanks for your help
10:57

I'm having some trouble getting decent performance with flash sites in firefox on an ltsp client.
13:01
I tried running firefox locally, that works fine, but flash is still very slow. Other apps like VLC work at a good speed.
13:01
Is flashplugin-nonfree suitable for LTSP clients?
13:02
Or should I install another package, or an older version?
13:02
<sbalneav>
LamaZ: Do you have LDM_DIRECTX=True in your lts.conf file?
13:02
<LamaZ>
sbalneav: yes
13:02
<sbalneav>
What are your thin clients like?
13:02
<LamaZ>
I'm testing it on a Dell P3 450mhz
13:03
i also tested it on a vmware machine booting PXE on my workstation
13:03
<sbalneav>
450mhz is going to be a bit pokey for flash
13:03
Flash is 1) poorly written (imho) and 2) a video app. It's going to need some processing power.
13:03
<LamaZ>
So even if xvid movies play fine with VLC, it could still be to slow for flash?
13:03
<sbalneav>
yup
13:04
<LamaZ>
hmm
13:04
<sbalneav>
because flash, in a work, sucks.
13:04
<LamaZ>
tell me about it
13:04
<sbalneav>
s/work/wod/
13:04
argh
13:04
word
13:04
Flash *really* only works well on a standalone desktop, and even then, not so hot.
13:04
Is it just youtube videos you want to watch?
13:05
<LamaZ>
Mainly yes
13:05
<alkisg>
Opening 2-3 tabs on sites with lots of flash banners gives my 2GHz core 2 duo CPU a headache... :)
13:05
<sbalneav>
If so, on ltsp-discuss, someone posted some info on how to substitute totem for flash on youtube pages.
13:05
works a treat for me.
13:05
<LamaZ>
hmm that would be a lot better at least, thanks, i'l check it out
13:10
<sbalneav>
http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg36776.html
13:10
Hm. I should just make that a factoid. Since we get the question a lot.
13:10
!flash
13:10
<ltspbot>
sbalneav: Error: "flash" is not a valid command.
13:12
<sbalneav>
ltspbot: flash is Yes, flash sucks. Make sure you have LDM_DIRECTX=True in your lts.conf file, or if it's just youtube you're after, try the HQtube plugin. Install greasemonkey for firefox, and see http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24999

13:12
<sbalneav>
Perfect :)
13:12
<LamaZ>
nice :)
13:13
I'm trying it now aswell
13:13
It would really be an improvement, all the kids love youtube
13:13
<sbalneav>
I've switched to hqtube, and I love it.
13:13
<Gadi>
lets not forget local apps
13:13
:)
13:13
<LamaZ>
Gadi: i'm having this program using firefox locally
13:13
<Gadi>
we have so many ways to confuse people these days
13:14
ah
13:14
<LamaZ>
By the way, if this is a greasemonkey script, it could be done by a proxy server instead
13:14
the proxy server could change the tags so that mplayer plays youtube files
13:14
<Gadi>
flash should not be slow at all locally
13:15
<LamaZ>
if I run firefox locally the flash plugin will load locally to right?
13:15
<Gadi>
right
13:15
it must
13:15
<LamaZ>
its still slow... on a 450mhz P3
13:15
<johnny>
shouldn't it be?
13:15
<Gadi>
and you are sure it is tunning locally?
13:15
<johnny>
flash is evil like that
13:15
<Gadi>
*running
13:16
you execute it with: ltsp-localapps firefox
13:16
<LamaZ>
Gadi: yes, its running locally, I can see it in the title bar aswell
13:16
<Gadi>
ah, ok
13:16
weird
13:16
<LamaZ>
I guess I could try booting a newer PC from pxe to see if that changes it
13:19
I guess I could also try installing another version of the flash player
13:19
9 might be faster then 10
13:22
yeah its going great with hqtube
13:25subhodip has quit IRC

<zamba>
is it possible to use a thin client's serial port?
13:28
<sbalneav>
Using a local app, yes it is
13:29
<johnny>
the other option would be to install serial to tcp mapping in the chroot and the reverse on the server
13:33
<alkisg>
For serial mice, it's easy...
13:33
Did anyone find out any way to install hqtube for all users?

good afternoon... if my server doesnt have any sound hardware the clients can play sound ?
14:51otavio has quit IRC
14:52
<sbalneav>
maginot: So long as the thin clients have sound hardware, sure.
14:53
<maginot>
sbalneav, Hmmm can you tell me if the skype support along with pulseaudio is working 100% ?
14:54
<sbalneav>
Skype you'd probably run as a localapp.
14:55
And in Free Software, your 100% guarantee is proportonal to the amount of money you pay for the software :)

sbalneav, hehe is the wiki for skype with pulseaudio updated?
14:58
<sbalneav>
Not sure. I don't use skype, so I'm not sure.
14:59
<maginot>
the last time I saw I think it didnt say anything about using with localapps (and I don't remember the url)
14:59
to be honest I kind of have some fears about using pulseaudio =X
14:59
<jammcq>
nothing to fear but fear itself
15:02
<sbalneav>
maginot: What's the fear? If it doesn't work, it's not going to cause a nuclear explosion :)
15:05
<vagrantc>
well, as long as you may sure you don't misuse the commandline arguments, anyways
15:05
and there are a few undocumented ones
15:05
<knipwim>
johnny: i have a fix for the double chroot problem
15:06
didn't put it in the quickstart profile though

<jammcq>
otavio: hey
15:09
<otavio>
jammcq: I guess I can't make it; sorry
15:09
<jammcq>
did you see the BTS invite?
15:09
oh
15:09
<otavio>
jammcq: yes; i did
15:09
<jammcq>
it would be nice if you did, but maybe next time, we do it every year
15:10
<maginot>
sometimes a nuclear explosion can be better them having the server crashing and users calling to the support lol
15:10
<rjune_>
though I hear some people just go for the lobster
15:11
<tstafford_>
i was able to get skype working at a localapp and on the server...
15:12
<knipwim>
johnny: this is the patch for the proposed change in 010-bootstrap
15:12
http://pastebin.org/10338
15:13
the change below are for the chroot problem, the others were for setting quickstart in the config file
15:13
<maginot>
tstafford_, did you followed any guide or just installed skype as localapps with pulseaudio and get it running ?
15:14
<tstafford_>
i followed this guide http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=387061 ... but only portions of it...
15:14
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: honestly, even getting an LTSP docs package which didn't integrate with yelp would be really nice.
15:15
<knipwim>
and this for the quickstart profile http://pastebin.org/10339
15:15
<sbalneav>
Well, my docs are on launchpad, if you've got some idears, just commit to them
15:15
<tstafford_>
on ubuntu 9.04... i added the pcm.pulse and ctl.pulse to ~/.asoundrc
15:15
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: Are you a member of ltsp-docwriters?
15:15
ogra: ping
15:16
ogra: if you could, if he's not already on there, add vagrantc to ltsp-docwriters
15:16
<johnny>
knipwim, did something in portage change that caused this to be a problem recently?
15:16
<tstafford_>
and made the changes to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf regarding fragmentsize and fragments
15:16
and it works fine
15:16
but it uses quite a bit of cpu when running on the server
15:16
<knipwim>
johnny: i don't know
15:17
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: i think ltsp-upstream is a member, so i am indirectly
15:17
<knipwim>
i could look at how emerge functions in more detail
15:17
the problem only occurs when emerging something
15:17
but that takes time
15:18
<johnny>
something must have changed at the portage level
15:18
<knipwim>
and for now these changes work
15:18
<johnny>
can you check the changelog ?
15:18
<knipwim>
i guess
15:18
<maginot>
tstafford_, Hmm .. well, I get conserned about cpu usage, dont want my server stuck by the sound .... I have a 2 quad xeon with 32gb and ~40 to 60 users connected... but after starting using firefox as localapps my cpu load average never goes beyond 1... 1.2
15:18
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: in that case, anything you'd like to add, just throw it in there.
15:19
<tstafford_>
well i have a similar setup... dual quad xeon w/ 16gb... it uses about 10-15% on one core when running on the server
15:19
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: well, packaging should possibly be done on a separate branch.
15:20
<maginot>
tstafford_, are you using this setup for how much users (avr) ?
15:20
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: it's been on my todo list to look into it, but i've just never gotten around to it

15:25

knipwim, why duplicate the options for the variables for ltsp and the env vars
15:26
shouldn't have stuff like this twice
15:26
printf "`eval_gettext "Manual Quickstart: %s"`\n" $QUICKSTART_PROFILE

15:33
<tstafford_>
if you mean our lts setup, we only have 8 users atm w/ load of .28 as we speak
15:41
<johnny>
knipwim, don't print output until the results of the 2 checks happen
15:41
perhaps a helper
15:41
function that looks first locally, and then checks environment
15:41
and mapping the various variable names to ENV equivalents

15:43

johnny: would you accept the patch if it weren't for those config file options?
15:45hanthana has quit IRC
15:46
<johnny>
also mark it up as a todo :)
15:46
# TODO: figure out why we need to set ROOT=""
15:47
knipwim, otherwise.. yes.. even if we don't know why
15:48
if you want the environment vars to work, then we really should support them cleanly
15:48
do you want me to reference you by nick? or by email? or just by name?
15:51
<knipwim>
reference where?
15:51tstafford_ has quit IRC
15:51
<johnny>
when i commit the changes you're making
15:53
<knipwim>
by name would be fine
15:53
and should i make a bugreport, or do you want the patches by some other means?
15:54
<johnny>
you could email them to me.. or fork the bzr repo and let me pull from you
16:01
<knipwim>
mailed
16:02
<Beer30>
johnny,knipwin: I was going to test those patches, but I don't know if pastebin formatted the files wrong, but they won't patch :( ... says malformed... ???
16:02
<johnny>
don't use pastebin for patches..
16:02
they use the @@ symbol
16:02
for internal use
16:02
but also used by patches :)
16:02
<Beer30>
I figured as much
16:02
<johnny>
use some other site
16:03
Beer30, but i'm about to commit the files
16:03
so just re emerge ltsp-server in the next 20 minutes
16:03
<Beer30>
ok, np....I'll wait :D
16:04
<johnny>
knipwim, also in the future, use patches from the root of the src
16:04
and you can just do bzr diff > something.patch to generate them i imagine
16:07tstafford_ has joined #ltsp
16:08
<knipwim>
ok, will do
16:09
working from a bzr tree copy would be much neater indeed

<johnny>
knipwim, can you split up what you're doing
16:12
with the profile.qs
16:12
let's just focus on the flags we need first before messing with ccache
16:12
wasn't there also an alsa-plugins or something needed?
16:20
<knipwim>
we decided to put the alsa-plugins in the ebuild as a dep for ltsp-client
16:20
and the ccache is clean now
16:20
before the change it is put into portage before it is emerged
16:23
and the whole ccache is optional now, and in one place
16:23
<johnny>
ok.. commiting shortly
16:23
wanna go over the various packages i'm dealing with in the profile via /etc/portage/package.keywords ?
16:23
are any of those table now?
16:23
it'd be nice to not need to use those overrides anymore..
16:24
ok.. those are pushed
16:25
<Beer30>
johnny: oh, btw... I noticed this last night, but when it goes to build the kernel in the chroot it gives the warning: openpty failed: 'out of pty devices' I don't know if this is critical, but I thought I would mention it.
16:25
<johnny>
weird..
16:26
<Beer30>
does /dev/pty need to be bind mounted as well?
16:26
<johnny>
the entire /dev hierarchy should be
16:26
<knipwim>
perhaps udev and sysvinit
16:26
<johnny>
knipwim, verify ?
16:27
<knipwim>
not now
16:27
going to bed in a few
16:27
they are no dependencies for openrc and baselayout 2, i checked that
16:27
<johnny>
Beer30, can you tell me if the udev needed by openrc is stable now?
16:28
<Beer30>
ya, lemmie check
16:28pmatulis has joined #ltsp

<johnny>
uggh.. sshfs-fuse 2.1 STILL ISN'T STABLE
16:29
it's been over a year
16:29
err wait.. it's been almost a year
16:32
Beer30, tomorrow hopefully knipwim will clone the overlay repo and commit his fixes, and make them pullable by me
16:32
that should solve all the major problems
16:33
<Beer30>
johnny: looks like openrc wants udev !<sys-fs/udev-133 and udev-141 is stable
16:34
<johnny>
ok nice
16:38
they are now out of the profile.qs
16:38
somebody really needs to bug genstef about sshfs-fuse :(
16:45
<Beer30>
ya, but who.... humm...
16:46
<vagrantc>
doesn't gentoo have something to track bugs?
16:46
<Beer30>
ugh, no space left on device... guess I should have cleared out my old chroot's before trying to build-ltsp-client...
16:47
ya, johnny just filed a bug ;)
16:47
er... I mean has filed a bug... back on 1-31-09
16:48
<johnny>
i now need to copy over some of vagrantc's additions
16:49
the cron script for turning off thin clients, and more tmpfs bindmount locations

sbalneav: www.pastebin.com/ff87feb3
17:55
sbalneav: i'm seeing definite improvement! Though here are the issues i encountered just today:
17:56
1) Changing Clock prefs (12hour -> 24hour) doesn't work
17:56
2) When I create a desktop launcher with a custom icon (or maybe even without, didn't check), and log back in as a user of the profile, the .desktop launcher shows as a text file (with the icon and starting text of the actual .desktop file instead of the icon i chose)
17:57vagrantc has joined #ltsp
17:59
<Lns>
3) It doesn't seem that the panel launchers are applying to the profile (I added multiple launchers and none of them showed up when i logged back in as another user in which the profile applied to)
17:59
4) Alacarte customizations don't apply (you might just not have looked at that yet though)
18:00
sbalneav: The debug log I sent you was right after I was working in a profile and added a panel launcher, then right-clicked on desktop and tried to change background settings (forget whether it happened when i right-clicked or afterwards when i left-clicked on the desktop background item)
18:01* Lns will shut up now ;)

You need to create a sabayon-debug-log.conf file in /root
18:15
<ltsppbot>
"sbalneav" pasted "/root/sabayon-debug-log.conf" (3 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/480
18:16
<sbalneav>
Put that in the file indicated about
18:16
above
18:16
an even better way to debug is:
18:16
1) Open terminal
18:16
2) type "gksu sabayon > sabdebug.log 2>&1"
18:16
minus the quotes
18:17
that way, I'll also get stderr messages
18:17
then you can mail/pastebin sabdebug.log
18:17
but first, create that conf file
18:25lucascoala has joined #ltsp
18:29

sbalneav: hehe.. ok i'll do that
18:29
sbalneav: is that only good for if sabayon crashes? or would it help with the other items i mentioned above
18:29
(so far earler was the only crash i encountered since your latest push)
18:30
I wasn't able to reproduce it either
18:30
sbalneav: oh...should i create new profiles whenever you update sabayon?
18:31
<sbalneav>
Shouldn't be necessary, but it DOES excercise the "creating profiles" parts of the code.
18:31
And the log config file will help with everything
18:33

ok
