Hi my thin client Intel Atom is producing a high-pitched electric, annoying sound, if I stop moving the mouse it disappears, no problems with speakers, what could be causing this? Thanks, I'm using Ubuntu 9.04, w/ updated chroot
09:42
Hi can anybody help me? Is my computer grounded? Haven't been able to try a livecd boot yet, just want to get some ideas if there's any. thanks!
09:46
<Blinny>
Probably monitor refresh rate.
09:46
:s;probably;perhaps
09:49
<sbalneav>
bart1: Sounds like a hardware problem.
09:50
<alkisg>
bart1: can you change the resolution or the refresh rate from the system > preferences > screen dialog, and see if the sound stops or changes?
09:51
<bart1>
Damn these are ALL great ideas! But the computer is in the office, and it's 11pm in my place, I will try it tomorrow, thanks a lot, keep them coming! I found another person experiencing the same problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289375
09:52
thanks Blinny, sbalneav, and alkisg

Oh, yea, once I also had experience with the monitor refresh, but my case is different, if I turn off the speakers the sound disappears.

are they still the same?

stgraber: Hey, one of the presentation things your doing is on "fat clients"... I'm curious as to what that's going to be on...

at ltsp-bts, that is...

<stgraber>
chrisinajar: that'll be about the current fat client (diskless but full session) in ltsp-trunk and changes that have to be done to get it complete and working for everyone
12:38
<chrisinajar>
stgraber: diskless but full session, meaning like the entire session is run locally on a thin client?
12:39
<stgraber>
yes
12:40
<chrisinajar>
neat, just curious as to what it meant, thanks
12:42
<Lns>
stgraber: this is probably a stupid question, but with fat clients, you can, say, plug a firewire dv-cam in and use it in kino, right?
12:42
as long as it works in a standalone install.. just curious about ram usage mainly
12:44
<zamba>
how can i check if i have the correct display driver installed on my TC?
12:45brendan0powers has joined #ltsp
12:45
<Lns>
zamba: check the TC logs in /var/log
12:46
<zamba>
Lns: on the TC?
12:46
<Lns>
yeah
12:46
like dmesg, your X log, etc.
12:46
<zamba>
what am i looking for?
12:46
agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel i810 Chipset
12:46* Lns wonders why someone nuked the introduction/template links in ubuntu ltsp wiki..ugh
12:47
<Lns>
zamba: look at Xorg.6.log or similar in /var/log for the lines that pertain to detection of your video card..
12:48
<zamba>
(--) PCI:*(0@0:1:0) Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller rev 3, Mem @ 0xf8000000/67108864, 0xfe980000/524288
12:48
<alkisg>
zamba, here's a quick hackish method: if you can run glxgears, your driver's fine :P :D
12:49
<zamba>
alkisg: as a local app?
12:49
<alkisg>
No no normally
12:49
<Lns>
good idea alkisg
12:49
<zamba>
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
12:49
<alkisg>
(ok ok you may also try xvinfo and glxinfo)
12:50
<zamba>
this doesn't really tell me anything :)
12:50
i actually miss the windows approach here.. pretty clear when you lack the driver :p
12:51* Lns slaps zamba
12:51
<alkisg>
lsmod ?
12:51
<Lns>
;)
12:51
<stgraber>
Lns: yeah, ram is the issue but that's basically the only issue
12:51
<zamba>
alkisg: server or TC?
12:51
<Lns>
stgraber: cool, thx
12:51
<alkisg>
zamba, in tc, and locally...
12:52
<zamba>
intel_agp is installed
12:52
<alkisg>
What does xvinfo say?
12:52
(in tc, in gnome-terminal)
12:53
If it says "no adaptors present" then yeah it's not the correct driver
12:53
<zamba>
http://pastebin.com/m19b07f4c
12:53
well.. i feel the performance is sluggish
12:53
<alkisg>
If it outputs a bunch of modes... yeah seems fine
12:53
<zamba>
it's very sluggish
12:53
<alkisg>
zamba: LDM_DIRECTX?
12:54
<zamba>
alkisg: True
12:54
<alkisg>
Network speed?
12:54
<zamba>
100 Mbit/s
12:54
but only one TC
12:54
<alkisg>
OK, it should be fine...
12:54
<zamba>
X_COLOR_DEPTH=16
12:54
and X_RAMPERC=80
12:54
and yet it isn't
12:54
<alkisg>
And getltscfg -a (in tc, locally) verifies all those settings?
12:54
<zamba>
yeah
12:55
<alkisg>
Hrm... got some divx movie to playback with totem?
12:55
<zamba>
hah
12:55
that never works
12:55
<alkisg>
Why not?!!!
12:55
<zamba>
lags
12:55
<alkisg>
It only needs ~50mbps with xv acceleration
12:55
<zamba>
looks like the frame rate is 12 fps
12:55
but ok.. i'll try
12:55
<alkisg>
Not a dvd; an divx/xdiv
12:56
<zamba>
sure
12:56
<alkisg>
A dvd needs ~125mbps
12:56
<zamba>
hold on, i'll give it a go
12:57
and opening big images in firefox grinds the TC to a near halt
12:57
<alkisg>
firefox plays tricks with the pixmaps... that's why i prefer totem for testing
12:57
<zamba>
going to test now
12:57
<alkisg>
Also run iftop on the server if you can, to get a measure of the traffic
12:58
<zamba>
lags
12:58
<alkisg>
Client CPU?
12:59
<zamba>
not over 1
12:59
load average at 0.60 or something
12:59
<alkisg>
Erm, while playing the divx movie?
12:59
Try: ltsp-localapps xterm
12:59
<zamba>
on the client
12:59
yeah
12:59
<alkisg>
in that terminal: top
12:59
<zamba>
i'm using 'top' now
13:00
<alkisg>
Huh? How fast is your client?! :)
13:00
<zamba>
PIII
13:00
at around 1000 MHz
13:00
128 MB RAM
13:01
<alkisg>
Ah, sorry, "load average" - I thought cpu usage
13:01
<zamba>
cpu is around 23 %
13:01
<alkisg>
And video dimensions? 640x400?
13:01
(the movie, not the window size)
13:02
*and fps?
13:02
<zamba>
624x352
13:02
23.98 fps
13:02
but i have to admit.. it works much better in totem than in mplayer
13:02
<alkisg>
~=63 mbps
13:03
Plus a few for the sound... it shouldn't have any lag at all
13:03
<zamba>
yeah.. iftop says something around there
13:03
video worked fine now, actually
13:03
<Guest17597>
hmm . never heard somebody say what you just said.. but that is great
13:03
<zamba>
but firefox looks to be the problem..?
13:03
<Guest17597>
about totem better than mplayer
13:03
that's the point !
13:03
oops.. my nick..
13:03Guest17597 has left #ltsp

13:04* alkisg bets that's johnny
13:04johnny has joined #ltsp

<alkisg>
(09:04:35 μμ) ***alkisg bets that's johnny ==> alkisg wins the bet :)
13:04
<zamba>
alkisg: what can be done about the firefox problem? i see lots of emails about it on the mailing list
13:04
<alkisg>
zamba: well... replace it with google chrome? :P :D
13:05
You do know about the xlib problem and its fix, right?
13:05
<zamba>
riight :)
13:05
<johnny>
alkisg, finally have nickserv problem almost licked.d.
13:05
<zamba>
alkisg: nope?
13:05
<alkisg>
zamba: distro/version?
13:05
<johnny>
my transport does set nickserv most of the time now..
13:05
<zamba>
alkisg: ubuntu jaunty
13:05
<johnny>
most of the time..
13:05
<alkisg>
zamba: use stgraber's ppa, it contains the fixed xlib
13:06
There's a big bug report for this problem in launchpad, but I never have it handy...
13:06
E.g. if you right click on firefox, it takes 3-5 secs. With the patch it's instant.
13:06
<zamba>
yup
13:06
that's my problem
13:06
and also just sluggish performance
13:06
especially when i have a few tabs open
13:07
just add his ppa to the repos and do a update?
13:07
<johnny>
alkisg, i hope that fix is upstreamed..
13:07
<alkisg>
zamba: that's *one* problem fixed; the exessive pixmap usage is another, not solved yet.. :(
13:07
zamba: yes, but do that on the chroot as well (to have the same ltsp version)
13:07
johnny: I think it is..
13:07
johnny: totem vs mplayer: if mplayer used x11 for output, it would need a lot more bandwidth, and it would be laggy
13:08
if it was configured to use xv, it should be the same...
13:08
<johnny>
alkisg, i hope people drop mplayer altogether in the future..
13:08
gstreamer is the future
13:08* alkisg too, yup, ^^^
13:08
<johnny>
altho.. ffmpeg is still a great tool for now..
13:09
<alkisg>
What I'd really love to see would be a gstreamer plugin for capturing window contents
13:09
I could broadcast my screen with that, no more need for italc :P
13:09
<zamba>
alkisg: his ppa brings with it other packages as well.. like cups.. that's fine?
13:10
<alkisg>
zamba: I've been using it for some time, works for me (and lots of others) - but as you know, no guarantees :)
13:10
zamba: if you want, download only that one deb
13:11
<zamba>
so.. chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 ; alter /etc/apt/sources.list ; aptitude update ; aptitude full-upgrade .. ?
13:11
and the ltsp-update-client?
13:11
then*
13:11* alkisg usually uses etc/apt/sources.list.d/stgraber.list :D
13:11
<zamba>
yeah, sure :)
13:11
<alkisg>
But yup, something like that, also a mount proc may be needed
13:12
See the "updating chroot" wiki for the whole deal
13:12
<zamba>
we'll see
13:12
but generally.. do you have to update the chroot often?
13:12
if you're not running any local apps, i mean?
13:18
<alkisg>
Well... personally I don't care much about security, so I only update it out of habbit :)
13:30
Anyone cares to explain me why squid downloads images twice, instead of caching them?

any other bright ideas to determinwe if a machine has stopped offering dhcp..i tried nc without any love and have tried this..but when i turn off dhcp the command says the port is still open/filtered.sudo nmap -sU 10.10.0.3-9 -p 67-68
14:22
.
14:22
<Gadi>
ah, nc had issues with udp and determining status
14:22
<cliebow_>
yeah..
14:22
<Gadi>
hmm...
14:23
it may be a udp thang
14:23
maybe you can have a dhcp client do a dry run or something
14:23
<cliebow_>
yeah i thought as much.i ping 10.10.0.3-9 and thre say closed..the last open even is dhcp is stopped
14:24
i was thinking that..ill do some more googling/..
14:25
and thank you just the same 8~
14:25
)
14:25
<Gadi>
duh
14:25
UDP is connectionless
14:25
which is why you cannot really check the status
14:25
you doing this in Perl?
14:25
<cliebow_>
nope..not yet
14:26
<Gadi>
if so, you can prolly make a dhcp client request to the port in perl, see if you get an answer or not
14:26
<cliebow_>
seems like Everyone would like to be emailled if their dhcp is down
14:26
<Gadi>
and if not within a timeout, bail
14:26
if so, just discard what you get
14:27

For anyone interested, I just created a howto on creating shared Gnome desktops for users: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/SharedDesktops - any input appreciated

I was just today thinking about "virtual users" :)
14:55
(= 1 user account, many shared dirs)
14:55
<Lns>
what's a use case for that?
14:56
<alkisg>
Avoid nfs/ldap/multiple wine installations/transfering user settings etc
14:56
<Lns>
hrm
14:56
interesting idea
14:56
what about file locking?
14:56
<alkisg>
The students don't even know their own passwords; the teacher just click on the "logon the a2 class" and automatic logon gets activated
14:56johnny has joined #ltsp
14:56
<alkisg>
All home dirs shared with sshfs, so users cannot see the other users' files
14:57
(all the files belong to the teacher :))
14:57
Also it's easier for the teacher to transfer files between students
14:57
<Lns>
If you create a doc on that lemme know, sounds neat
14:57
<alkisg>
(so basically, logon == symlink)
14:58* alkisg reads Lns's page...
14:59* Lns needs to get on creating a "real" guest user thingy which creates random users upon "guest login" and wipes homedir afterwards, to avoid multiple static guest user accounts and getting passwords via looking at environment variables.. was this done already? I know I'm still in the stone age w/ubu 8.04
15:00
<alkisg>
Lns should upgrade to the computer age, and leave the stone age in the past... :)
15:00
Guest accounts was implemented in 8.10, I think...
15:00
<Lns>
No, 8.04 has it
15:00
you just have to create real accounts for it and map to them via lts.conf
15:00
<alkisg>
Ehm, sorry, what?
15:01
<johnny>
uhmm..
15:01
what's wrong with multile static guest user accounts?
15:01
that'll make the login quicker
15:01
Lns, that is what i do
15:01
one per pc
15:01
<Lns>
lol..johnny, think about it. "guest" accounts aren't good when you have multiple users using them
15:02
especially in your environment
15:02
you probably have a script to wipe their files though after logout or something
15:02
I think we've talked about this before
15:03
<alkisg>
Lns, this isn't working: sudo echo "This is a test" > /home/share/Desktops/MrsSmithsClass/testfile.txt
15:03
This is: echo "This is a test" | sudo tee /home/share/Desktops/MrsSmithsClass/testfile.txt
15:03
<Lns>
ah crap, that's right =) thx!
15:04
*updated
15:05
<johnny>
that's what i mean.. one per pc
15:05
one guest account for each computer
15:05
named by the computer
15:06
sorry.. not ubuntu's guest accounts..
15:06
<alkisg>
Lns, also, instead of symlinking etc, you could update the users's ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file to point to the same dir
15:06
<johnny>
alkisg, or /etc/xdg/user-dirs.default
15:06
no need to symlink then
15:06
<alkisg>
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=/the/same/dir
15:06
<Lns>
hmm
15:06
<alkisg>
johnny: sure, but I thought he only wanted it to happen for a couple of users
15:07
<Lns>
either way should work the same I'd think
15:07
<johnny>
Lns, i created one account on the LTSP server, named after each computer, then setup the ssh keys,
15:07
so logins work based on the hostname with ssh key auth
15:07
so my lts.conf is just LDM_AUTOLOGIN
15:07
<alkisg>
Yeah, you just save yourself all the symlinking, backing up the old dirs etc
15:07
<johnny>
no other settings
15:08
<alkisg>
johnny: "setup the ssh keys"?
15:08
You mean the classic ltsp-update-sshkeys, or something else?
15:10
<Lns>
alkisg: i like your idea because it simplifies stuff. I'll update the wiki.

G'day

We're having a funny issues with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS / LTSP 5
16:22
<sbalneav>
Did you try removing the LDM_DIRECTX=True from the one machine?
16:23
<pacifica>
Hi sbalneav.
16:24
We've got it to work!
16:24
I only don't know if thats due to LDM_DIRECTX (the report from my buddy isn't conclusive)
16:24
but the important thing is ... it works (we also rebooted all machines)...
16:25CAN-o-SPAM has quit IRC
16:26
<pacifica>
Now we can move on to the next (last?) thing.
16:26
<sbalneav>
So, was that the funny issue, or did you have a different one?
16:26
ok
16:26
What is it?
16:27
<pacifica>
all usb stick icons appear on all desktops
16:27
not only on the one you're using
16:27bobby_C has quit IRC
16:27
<pacifica>
and they remain there if people don't unplug them before they log out.
16:27
<sbalneav>
Are all your users in the same primary group?
16:27
<pacifica>
so I made a little script that runs every 5 mins to unmount any usb sticks that are no longer thhere
16:28
all in the same primary group....i need to check that
16:29
<sbalneav>
The normal method is to have users have their own unique primary group
16:29
i.e. sbalneav:sbalneav
16:29
then if you have a SHARED group, you create that, and add the users to it.
16:29
<pacifica>
and shared means that users can see other's USB sticks?
16:29
<sbalneav>
Yep.
16:30
<pacifica>
they can now see others sticks but not use them.
16:30
<sbalneav>
Correct.
16:30
It's a "feature" in gnome.
16:30
<pacifica>
so what is the point of having this "shared" ability?
16:30
Ah.. :-) ... a "feature" :-) ok...
16:30
<sbalneav>
None. You shouldn't use it.
16:31
<pacifica>
we're using ldap..
16:31
checking primary groiup now...
16:31
<sbalneav>
Do things the "normal" modern way. Every users' in their own group.
16:32
<pacifica>
yep all users are in same primary group
16:32
<sbalneav>
How many users do you have?
16:33
<pacifica>
so the solution is move them to their own primary group?
16:33
<sbalneav>
yes. Which is the "standard" that pretty much all linux distros fillow these days.

16:34
<pacifica>
ok many thanks sbalneav for your help... will look into moving users to their own primary group
16:35
<sbalneav>
Gadi: ugh
16:35
<Gadi>
pacifica: that link should save you a lot of trouble
16:35
<sbalneav>
do NOT like that solution.
16:35
<Gadi>
:P
16:35
<sbalneav>
it's not a solution. It's a nasty hack.
16:35
<Gadi>
the core problem is a nasty hack
16:35
one nasty hack deserves another
16:35
<pacifica>
I see there are two ways out :-)
16:36
one nasty and one less nasty ?
16:36
<Gadi>
and if you are working with 1000's of ldap users, any other method is painful
16:36
<pacifica>
why is Gadi's suggestion nasty?
16:36
<Gadi>
or if they are AD users, for that matter
16:36
its not
16:36
<pacifica>
well yes... we don't have 1000 fortunately... but 50 on three sites.
16:36
<Gadi>
it is cute and adorable
16:36
<sbalneav>
I disagree. But whatever.
16:36
Heading home for the day.
16:36
<pacifica>
sbalneav: why do you disagree?
16:37
<Gadi>
most central auth schemes do not have users in their own groups
16:37
<sbalneav>
See you all on later tonight.
16:37
<Gadi>
to force that schema is a bug
16:37
<pacifica>
ok fair enough... many thanks for all your help sbalneav - much appreciated.
16:37
<Gadi>
and is nasty
16:37
<pacifica>
sleep well!
16:37
<Gadi>
:)
16:37
pacifica: the method above simply adjusts the permissions on the mountpoint
16:38
so it doesn't trigger gvfs
16:38
and therefore only mounts for the user
16:38
and not everyone in the user's group
16:39
if the bug were fixed in ltspfs, it would not make the mountpoint group readable to begin with
16:39
anyhow, I gotta go, too
16:39
cheers!

sbalneav: what's your beef with giving other users icons to use stuff in /media if they actually have permissions for it?
17:12
I agree its kind of bass-ackwards if you're talking about stuff in /media (which is hardly ever stuff you'd want more than one person to see) but if they have perms, they have perms...

Hello all. I have an issue perhaps you all will be able to help me with. I am using nubae's fat client. It copies passwd, group, etc to the client for login. I have a user that was deleted, then re-created to refresh their profile, so lets say he was id 1005 and now he is 1006. For some reason, after a period of time, both his old and new user lines are showing up in the clients /etc/passwd, etc, even though their for sure gone from the servers files. I even tri

LTSP clients fail to boot.
18:29
after installing Ubuntu 9.04
18:29
I've been workingon the problem for 2 days now
18:31
The latest message is Kernel call returned: Broken pipe Reconnecting
18:32
Error: Ioctl/1.1a failed: Bad file descriptor
18:32
Is anyone available to help?
18:33
<Lns>
garyj: 64-bit 9.04?
18:33
<garyj>
Yes
18:33
on the serder
18:33
server
18:33
<Lns>
did you ltsp-build-client --arch i386?
18:34
(i'm assuming i386-based clients)
18:34
<garyj>
The clientis 386 and yes I did use the --arch i386
18:34
<Lns>
are you sure everything from that command completed?
18:35
<garyj>
yes. I watched it as it went thouugh it s stuff
18:36
<Lns>
the only time i've ever seen 'bad file descriptor' is when the nbd image building process is interrupted
18:36
<garyj>
It gets an ip address OK
18:36
<Lns>
course that's just me, i'm not the end-all LTSP expert or anything
18:36
<garyj>
the ubuntu boot schreen comes up
18:36
and appears to be doing what it's supposed to .
18:37
Then it stops and the errors show up.
18:37
Right now the client is sitting at ltsp10 login:
18:37
ltsp101 login:
18:38
101 is the last part of the ip address
18:38
<Lns>
garyj: are you using nbd or nfs?
18:39
<garyj>
How would I know that info?
18:39
<Lns>
well if you don't you're probably using nbd
18:40
<garyj>
OK
18:41
<Lns>
i'm not familiar w/ltsp on 9.10, but it sure does seem like there's something wrong with your chroot
18:41
if you had the time i'd try renaming your current chroot and try again
18:41
<garyj>
Agreed
18:42
I've rebuilt the chroot environment a couple times already
18:42
<Lns>
oh
18:43
have you updated your chroot and done ltsp-update-kernels and ltsp-update-image afterwards?
18:43
<garyj>
The only thing out of the ordinary in m installation is that I have non-ltsp PCs connecting to the swith thtat ltsp clients are on
18:43
<Lns>
that's not a big deal
18:44
<garyj>
The last time I did the build I didn't update afterward.
18:44
<Lns>
i constantly hear here, too, that you should use stgraber's PPA if you're using 9.04
18:44
<garyj>
One time when I did the build and updated I did ltsp-update-kernels and ltsp-update-image but that didn't solve the problems either
18:45
What is PPA?
