yes, will do. :)
09:39
<alkisg>
ugh yeah also what ogra said
09:40
I.e. sudo ltsp-update-kernels
09:40
(ok ok I had said that, (05:26:32 μμ) alkisg: sudo ltsp-update-kernels :D)
09:40
<shawnp0wers>
I bet that would have made the file edits work too
09:40
LOL
09:42

Morning all

alkisg: "s" is Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
09:44
<shawnp0wers>
alkisg: ogra: yes, after the ltsp-update-kernels, the client happily booted. :)
09:44
Thanks for the help
09:44
<alkisg>
Nice, thanks for the feedback
09:44
<shawnp0wers>
Now to figure out why firefox isn't working as a local app. (That one I can troubleshoot though, :)
09:47
lol, anyone have the magic to mount pts in a chroot environment?
09:48
<alkisg>
It shouldn't be needed... ignore the warning (if it's only a warning)
09:49
<shawnp0wers>
alkisg: when installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, I get complaints about... well, lots of stuff
09:49
hal daemon, etc
09:49
<Gadi>
mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
09:50
(inside the chroot)
09:50
<shawnp0wers>
Gadi: Thanks.
09:50
Didn't help, I'll do some more digging...

<alkisg>
shawnp0wers: I don't think you should be installing ubuntu-restricted-extras in the chroot
09:53
gconfd shouldn't be installed in the chroot, and ubuntu-restricted-extras depends (indirectly) on that
09:53mikkel has joined #ltsp
09:53
<alkisg>
...so just install the flash plugin...
09:53
<shawnp0wers>
alkisg: Yes, I agree -- I'm rebuilding the client environment, and installing the things peicemeal
09:54
alkisg: yes -- I may have to re-edit the files we discussed, but ubuntu-restricted-extras was a bad idea.
09:54
;)
09:55
The good news about today is I understand more and more about LTSP5. ;)

<Kicer86>
who is preparing ltsp verions for varoious distros? distribution team or ltsp team ?
10:27gentgeen__ has joined #ltsp
10:34
<sbalneav>
Kicer86: Well, typically, a distro interested in having LTSP integrated usually comes to us.
10:34
We give 'em a hand with getting LTSP going.
10:34
And typically, someone from that distro ends up becoming "part of" LTSP :)
10:34
<Kicer86>
mhm
10:35
i see
10:35
<sbalneav>
That's how it's worked for Debian, Gentoo, and Fedora :)
10:35
Which distro are you interested in?
10:35
<Kicer86>
mandriva ;)
10:35
<sbalneav>
Are you a Mandriva developer?
10:36
<Kicer86>
i can't come by it ;)
10:36
actually no
10:36
<sbalneav>
Know one?
10:36
<Kicer86>
no
10:37
<sbalneav>
Can you get one interested? :)
10:37
Have them pop by.
10:37
Mandriva's RPM based, IIRC?
10:37
<Kicer86>
hmm actually the ltsp version for mandriva is broken but appears in repos
10:37
<sbalneav>
They may be able to build on top of the Fedora work.
10:38
<Kicer86>
yes it's rpm
10:38
yeah there is a port from fedore but it doesn't work
10:39
<sbalneav>
Who did the port work? Maybe they can just fix the bug?
10:39
<Kicer86>
i've reported a bug
10:40
i'm not quite sure, i've a mail from .spec file, and wrote mail to him, but no response
10:40
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Ltsp5Status
10:40
<sbalneav>
What patches are applied in the spec file? How much are they modifying our upstream stuff?
10:40
<Kicer86>
as written there, ltsp-build-client doesn;t work
10:41
w8
10:41alkisg has quit IRC
10:41
<Kicer86>
ah if i remember good, they just include an ltsp pack
10:41alkisg has joined #ltsp
10:42
<cyberorg>
Kicer86, i got ltsp working on mandriva using opensuse's images http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Other_Distros
10:43
<Kicer86>
nothing is being setup, they just do 'make' in some dirs and then they copy files in various places
10:43
<cyberorg>
but you need mandriva devs to work on getting images built using native packages
10:43
<Kicer86>
cyberorg: i'm using a debian's image ;) but i would like to have natice packages
10:44
couse i've problems with coping with thin client's environment couse i don't know debian much
10:44
<cyberorg>
Kicer86, yeah you certainly need that if you want to do any modifications :)
10:44
<Kicer86>
exactly
10:44
<sbalneav>
The model we've always tried to promote is having devs from the distro essentially become "part" of the LTSP project.
10:45
LTSP's build archetechture supports "plug ins" for distros
10:45
So, ideally, what you'd want is an interested Mandriva developer create Mandriva "plugins" for LTSP upstream,
10:46
<Kicer86>
yes i know, i was trying to prapre ltsp to work in mandriva
10:46
<sbalneav>
Maintaining those upstream, and then Mandriva could just use "stock" upstream LTSP.
10:46
<Kicer86>
but too much work
10:47
and too much lacks in knowledge ;)
10:48
<cyberorg>
Kicer86, don't worry about that, knowledge will come once you start working on it, there are a lot of helpful people here :)
10:48
it is not too much work once you understand how LTSP works, little bit of shell scripting is all that is required after that
10:50

How can I have all non-logged-in LTSP clients shut off on a schedule? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/AutomatedTCShutodwn shuts down indescriminently, which isn't what we want.
11:20
<johnny>
there is no official method atm
11:29
<Gadi>
lfaraone: instead of having cron call /sbin/halt, have it call your own script that checks for a file, and if the file is present, halts the system
11:29
then, you can simply have an ldm rc.d/ init scipt create the file
11:29
and a start script that deletes it

Has anyone used squid for package caching? I already have it installed, so I was thinking to use it instead of apt-cacher... (also saves me from having to modify my sources.list)
12:54* vagrantc uses squid+jesred+approx
12:54
<vagrantc>
squid is too stupid to cache the files you want consistantly.
12:54
it tends to throw away the biggest files, which are the most important to keep.
12:55
and caches Release and Packages too easily.
12:55* vagrantc disappears

k
13:06
<jammcq>
I dunno yet, but it sounds like a fun time
13:06
<chupacabra>
should be im guessing. We have a meeting tomorrow about it.
13:06
<jammcq>
hmm
13:07
can't give you a firm yes yet
13:07
<chupacabra>
some of the head guys were at ohio last week i think.
13:07
<jammcq>
ah, that's a great show. didn't make it there this year, but I've been to several of them
13:07
<chupacabra>
I knew you had
13:08
are shows not worth the trouble anymore?
13:08
<jammcq>
well. Since i'm not doing much (or any) development on ltsp, it's kinda hard for me to go and talk about it
13:09
<chupacabra>
ahh
13:09
<jammcq>
so, if I go to your event in austin, i'm not sure I'll have much to offer
13:09
but I'd consider going, just to visit austin again
13:10
it's always good to hang out with friends and have a good steak
13:10
<chupacabra>
I have Terpestra interested in speaking
13:10
Just had a nice steak the other day and thought about our steak night.
13:11
<jammcq>
heh
13:12
ah, Terpstra puts on a good show
13:12
<chupacabra>
so what you doing lately? Real job?
13:12
<jammcq>
I know sbalneav always enjoys hearing him talk
13:12
yeah, real job is keeping me REAL busy
13:12
<chupacabra>

13:12
not real job, terp
13:13
<jammcq>

15:28
I am getting an error that dbus, hal and ltsp-client are not properly configured.
15:28
using apt-get or aptitude
15:30
<sbalneav>
Are you mounting proc?
15:30

sbalneav: yes.
15:30
sbalneav: everything else updated fine. Just those 3 things.
15:31CAN-o-SPAM has quit IRC
15:31
<sbalneav>
There's als an env variable you set (can't remember which offhand, it's in the docs, IIRC) that tells dbus and hal daemons NOT to restart
15:31
since when you restart 'em in the chrrot, you're ACTUALLY restarting the server ones.

Hi, i cannot load the fuse module
15:33
i have installed libfuse2 and fuse-utils packages
15:33
(ubuntu 9.04)
15:33
<sbalneav>
Fuse is there by default
15:33
you don't need to load it.
15:33
<johnny>
_UsUrPeR_, didn't somebody just commit something about that?
15:34
look at the log
15:34
<coordinador>
when i do lsmod | grep fuse i got nothing
15:34
and when i do modprobe fuse i got "Module fuse not found"
15:34
<johnny>
coordinador, that's cuz fuse isn't a module.. it is built in
15:34
<coordinador>
oh i see
15:34
<johnny>
ls /dev/fuse
15:34
do you have it?
15:34
<coordinador>
yes i have, but i am following instructions of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev
15:35
there it says that i have to check lsmod |grep fuse
15:35
and says: "If you don't see the above, then fuse isn't loading. Make sure the packages libfuse2 and fuse-utils are installed. "
15:35
(i have both packages)
15:36
<johnny>
if you have /dev/fuse .. then that step is useless
15:36
it should probablybe changed to see /dev/fuse instead
15:36
<sbalneav>
coordinador: That page was for gutsy
15:36
Says so right at the top :)
15:36
<coordinador>
i have /dev/fuse but my boxes doesnt recognizes the usbdrives
15:37
oh, sbalneav , i though that the page was for ubuntu ltsp5 , sorry
15:37
<sbalneav>
Does the stick work if you plug it into a normal Linux box?
15:37
<coordinador>
in boxes working with ltsp4.2 works fine
15:38
i have both systems at the same time, since i recently bought new boxes :)
15:40

15:40* _UsUrPeR_ goes to check
15:41

15:57
woop, found it
15:57
it's in the project, not the branch
15:58

i just got it from clicking on the feed icon in firefox

16:00yoshi__ has joined #ltsp

<coordinador>
sorry, if i have /etc/fuse but i still havent access to usbdrives, what i should check?
16:03vagrantc has joined #ltsp
16:04
<coordinador>
when i go to local term (at f1) the system ask for login and password, i try to enter but i got "wrong password"
16:05
in ltsp4.2 the system doesnt ask neither login nor password
16:06
which information should i enter there if my usual login and passwords doesnt work, even root
16:06
?
16:07
<johnny>
you need to set the root password and rebuild the chroot
16:07
if you want that
16:07
OR
16:07
in lts.conf set SCREEN_02=shell
16:07
<vagrantc>
you'd need to set a password in the chroot, but would be better to temporarily set SCREEN_08=shell or some such, which opens a shell on tty8
16:07
<johnny>
and look in screen 2 after rebooting
16:07rjune has quit IRC
16:10
<coordinador>
in screen1 i have a terminal, in screen2 i have x
16:10
oh god ihave # in screen3 :O

and when i do lsusb in localterm the device appears recognized correctly
16:18
but the icon doesn show in desktop , and doesnt show in ~/drives
16:18
<sbalneav>
coordinador: Did you say the usb drives were NOT recognized on a standard linux box?
16:19
i.e. not a thin client?
16:19
<coordinador>
sbalneav, yes, it is recognized
16:19
in normal machnes and in ltsp4.2 boxes
16:20
<sbalneav>
ok
16:21
What are the perms on the program fusermount, and /dev/fuse?
16:24
<coordinador>
crw-rw-rw- 1 root fuse /dev/fuse
16:24
i dont know how to see the fusermount perms
16:24shawnp0wers has quit IRC
16:26
<coordinador>
the perms of fusermount are: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root
16:27
but /bin/fusermount appeared red
16:29
<sbalneav>
Since it's a setuid program
16:30
You built the image with the standard ltsp-build-client?
16:31
<coordinador>
i dont remember, sorry, ill check bash history of root
16:32
<sbalneav>
hopefully someone else will give you a hand. I'm heading home for the day.
16:32
<coordinador>
ok sbalneav , thank you for your patience
16:32
<sbalneav>
I'll be on later tonight. Look for me about 9:30 CST

the strange thing is ... the workstations can be used normally... ie applications on the server can display on the workstations just fine
22:10
but the workstation doesn't have to seem the rights to display something on its own display?
22:10
at least that's how I'm reading it...
22:10
<sbalneav>
What's the display variable set to?

Its not set (on the LTSP terminal)
22:12
<sbalneav>
No, normally, within your session.
22:13
<pacifica>
The right workstation ie. 192.168.213.198:0 in this case
22:14
applications run on the server can display on the LTSP terminal... so DISPLAY is set correctly...
22:17
<sbalneav>
what happens if you do (from the ws):
22:17
ssh -X -S /var/run/ldm_socket_vt7_192.168.213.11 192.168.213.11 "echo $DISPLAY"
22:27
<pacifica>
ok pls standby
22:28
Empty
22:32
Please note this is also the case on the server where everything is working as it should....
22:32
ie. DISPLAY not set if you ask from the WS
22:39
<alkisg>
Doesn't also XAUTHORITY need to be set to the proper value?
22:41
<sbalneav>
Well, the problem is the remote end, not the local end.
22:42
What's your lts.conf look like. Oh, and by the way, what version of LTSP are you running, on which ubuntu?
22:56
<pacifica>
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
22:56
I think thats LTSP 5?
22:57
<sbalneav>
Yes. Have you applied all updates in the server, as well as the chroot?
22:57
<pacifica>
lts.conf specifies LOCALDEV=true
22:57
Yes, all updates applied both on server as well as in chroot
22:57
Also rebuild the image, updated the ssh keys...
22:58
<sbalneav>
Only localdev=true? no ldm_directx=true?
22:58
<pacifica>
let me see...
22:59
Ok....
23:00
ldm_directx=true on the server that doesn't work and is not there (so assume its false?) on the server that works
23:02
<sbalneav>
ok, so what if you take away the ldm_directx on the server that doesnt work?
23:02
<pacifica>
Does ldm_directx=true stop local devices from working?
23:02
<sbalneav>
No
23:02
<pacifica>
I'll try that... the server is on the other side of the planet so I'll have to wait until my buddy wakes up there...
23:02
<rjune>
sbalneav!
23:03
isn't it bedtime yet bud?
23:03
<pacifica>
thanks a lot for your help so far sbalneav - much appreciated.... (would you have other suggestions if ldm_directx doesn't fix it?)
23:04
<sbalneav>
More debugging would be required.
23:05
rjune: only 11:05 PM here.
23:05
