alkisg_work: alright, back at work this morning, rebooted my client, got the busybox again, and gave the nbd-client command...
01:44
then exit,
01:45
(got the same response from the nbd-client command as before - unknown partition table)
01:46
<alkisg_work>
FrozenZia: ok, and? no other error messages?
01:46
It just hang there?
01:46
<FrozenZia>
and after the exit, get: aufs test_add:242:exe[318]: uid/gid/perm /rofs 0/0/0755, 0/0/01777
01:46
mount: mounting /rofs on /root/rofs failed: Invalid argument
01:47
<alkisg_work>
aufs?? I don't think we're using aufs...
01:47
Anyway, I think you should file a bug in launchpad with all that info
01:49
<FrozenZia>
What I find interesting, is that this same client, same server, but with a slightly different network setup, WORKED earlier.
01:51
It was just that with that setup I had both nics on the same subnet, and 2 dhcp servers on the same network, etc., etc... This current setup is I guess more *CORRECT*, but doesn't seem to be working.
01:57
<cyberorg>
that explains that there is no bug, just configuration mistake somewhere
02:07
<elias_a_>
FrozenZia: You seem to have caught the infection :)
02:07
FrozenZia: Have you at least been outdoors during the weekend? ;-)
02:16
<FrozenZia>
elias_a_: of course! A friend and my son went to have a smoke sauna on Saturday, and although the snow was a bit thin for rolling around, I did stand out in the yard and rub down with it, so I at least spent that much time outdoors!
02:17
cyberorg: I'd concur. I'm thinking my best option at this point may be to just "start from scratch"
02:24
<elias_a_>
FrozenZia: Good for you! I went sailing on Saturday :)

<lupine_85>
possibly not an ltsp-specific problem - but I can't sem to get Xv working on my thin clients, getting: X11 error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
04:19* lupine_85 reckons it's nouveau's fault
04:20artista_frustrad has joined #ltsp
04:26
<lupine_85>
or not, nouveau seems to have xv support fine
04:38
<FrozenZia>
after running apt-get dist-upgrade, I *do* need to run update-image and reboot terminals, right?
04:39
<lupine_85>
in the chroot? yes
04:39
(also, nouveau is indeed the issue. Xv works as long as xcompmgr is running)
04:45
<FrozenZia>
lupine_85: umm. I think not - I just did that as privileged user - didn
04:45
't do any chroot commands or anything before that.
04:46
<lupine_85>
then you've not touched the chroot in /opt/ltsp/<arch>/ so you don't need to do lts-update-image
04:46
although you should probably run a dist-upgrade in there too, and /then./ do an update-image
04:54
<FrozenZia>
I'm completely new at this, but when I got my 1st client working, I immediately went to try YouTube. It didn't work.
04:55
I went to my server, got the proper packages and stuff to get it work -- just using the privileged user again -- and after lts-update-image, all was good.
04:56
Is the proper method to do all updates, etc... in chroot?
04:56
...and if so, why did this other method work?
04:57
<lupine_85>
you need to install package updates in both the chroot and the main system
04:58
the chroot is minimal and contains basically no programs - it just gets the thin clients up and able to run programs (like firefox) from the main system
04:58
any changes you make to the main system are immediately visible to the clients. if you change the chroot, you have to run ltsp-update-image and reboot the clients before they'll see it
04:58
generally, that's not something you have to do much of, unless you're using local apps
04:59
<FrozenZia>
So if I want all terms to be able to use Thunderbird, I don't have to install it in the chroot, just the main system?
05:06
<lupine_85>
that's right
05:07
and after installing it on the main system, you don't have to run ltsp-update-image

does anyone run ltsp clients on squeeze already?

<toddobryan>
Help! Clients that were working on Friday suddenly aren't this morning.
07:52
The student logs in, it looks like it's going to work, then it goes back to the login screen.
07:52
I thought the problem was this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/463369
07:53
But changing the compiz script doesn't solve it. (Plus, I don't have an ati graphics card in the clients.)
07:55Selveste1 has quit IRC
08:01
<alkisg>
toddobryan: look at ~/.xsession-errors
08:03
<toddobryan>
Actually, I just tried logging in on a client and the .xsession-errors file is empty.
08:03
(But it didn't work.)
08:04
<alkisg>
Try to put SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm, to see the ldm logs locally
08:04
(in lts.conf)
08:05
<toddobryan>
Where exactly is lts.conf?
08:05
<alkisg>
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
08:05
If it doesn't exist, create one, with the following contents:
08:05
[Default]
08:05
SCREEN_02=shell
08:05
SCREEN_07=ldm
08:06
and reboot the client, and switch to the console with alt+ctrl+f2
08:06
and see /var/log/ldm.log...
08:07
<toddobryan>
Rebooting now...
08:12
OK. It says XSession beginning...
08:12
Then XSession ending...
08:13
<alkisg>
Does the server have a monitor? Are you able to login locally there?
08:13
<toddobryan>
Yep.
08:13
And it works fine for users there.
08:14
It says the processes exit with status 0, which is no errors, right?
08:14
<alkisg>
Yeah...
08:15
<toddobryan>
And, as I said, they worked fine on Friday, so it has to have been an update since then.
08:15
<alkisg>
Hmmm want to try XSERVER=vesa in lts.conf, to see if it makes any difference?
08:15
<toddobryan>
I guess I could reinstall the original server CD and not update it.
08:15
Yeah, I'll try that.
08:16
Rebooting again...

Sorry. My classes just changed, so I'm dealing with getting the next class doing something.
08:29
<johnny>
alkisg, we should do a poll somehow
08:29
find out how many people who use ltsp also need/want an lts.conf
08:29
<alkisg>
toddobryan: Take your take, don't worry :)
08:29
<johnny>
to see if we should put one in there by default
08:29
<alkisg>
johnny: all? :D
08:29primeministerp has quit IRC
08:29
<johnny>
well.. it's truly hard to measure..
08:29
<alkisg>
I don't know anyone that uses ltsp for more than 1 month and doesn't want an lts.conf...
08:30
<johnny>
then.. we should really put on in htere by default, especially on ubuntu..
08:30
<alkisg>
First of all, most of the people put LDM_DIRECTX=True there
08:30
Yes, we should - even if only a commented example, like dnsmasq.conf
08:30
But it shouldn't be a conffile, because it would be problematic on upgrades
08:31
The postinst script should just create an lts.conf if one doesn't exist already
08:32
<toddobryan>
OK. With XSERVER=vesa, it doesn't work at all.
08:32
<alkisg>
Heh :)
08:32
<toddobryan>
I just get a blinking white line instead of the login screen.
08:33
<alkisg>
OK, remove it then. Weird though, I haven't yet seen any client that breaks with vesa graphics...
08:33
Try to ask again later on, when (more of) the devs will be here, or file a bug in launchpad... :-/
08:37
<johnny>
/me whines about nvidia again
08:37
uggh.. it sucks to have to use non free drivers :(
08:37
<toddobryan>
I think I've got Cirrus...
08:37knipwim_ has joined #ltsp
08:37
<alkisg>
Woah the ancient one?
08:38
I think I tried a cirrus 5446 or something last year, it worked slow but OK otherwise...
08:38
<toddobryan>
It's a Via cpu with onboard graphics...
08:38
I had to add something to the blacklist with 9.04...
08:39
OK. I think I'm going to re-install from the CD, just so my classes can happen today.
08:40
<alkisg>
Well, if you have a partition to spare, use a different partition
08:41* alkisg always keeps an older, working installation, for such problems that bring down the whole lab...
08:43
<Appiah>
backup? :)
08:45
<toddobryan>
alkisg: How do you do that?
08:45
I've got "/" and "/home" on separate partitions, but how would I set up two partitions that it could boot from?
08:45
<alkisg>
sda1 = /
08:45
(e.g. jaunty)
08:45
<johnny>
/ is relative..
08:46
<alkisg>
sda2 = / (karmic)
08:46
sda3 = home
08:46
sda4 = backup or swap...
08:46
<toddobryan>
Then how do you choose which one to boot from?
08:46
<alkisg>
So when Karmic comes out, I install to sda2 instead of upgrading jaunty
08:46
From grub
08:46
<toddobryan>
Oh, of course.
08:46
Duh!
08:47
<alkisg>
This way I can see if Karmic is ready for my lab, and if it breaks, I can switch to my old installation in 1 sec
08:47
<toddobryan>
I never use grub, because I only have one / partition.
08:47
<johnny>
i personally use vm for that
08:47
yes you do
08:47
you must use a bootloader
08:47
either grub or lilo
08:47
<toddobryan>
Well, I mean I never change grub. I just let it go by...
08:47
<johnny>
if you install ubuntu you get grub
08:47
yeah.. you would just pick a different one from the menu
08:48
<toddobryan>
I actually put /boot on its own partition, because / is on a RAID.
08:48
Would I need separate /boots, too?
08:48
<alkisg>
Well you can have almost any number of partitions... so no problem there
08:48
<johnny>
no
08:48
<alkisg>
No no one /boot is enough
08:49
<johnny>
your boot would just need to be big enough

<dtrask>
Not much help on #ubuntu....asking here just in case anyone can help. My issue: Users and Groups has 3 users...student...teacher...and netbook (the admin user). I launch...unlock and proceed to change the "student" password. Everything appears to work....yet the student password never gets changed. Any ideas on what to look for?
09:06
any logs or files to look at?
09:06
I'm at a loss here
09:06
<johnny>
dtrask, does it work if you do passwd manually?
09:06
without the gui
09:06
<dtrask>
johnny: yes....that's what's stumping me
09:06
<johnny>
if so.. you found a bug
09:07
probably some policykit issue then
09:07
nothing we can do here
09:08
<alkisg>
dtrask: users-admin is very sensitive to the passwd formatting
09:08
<johnny>
alkisg, what does that mean?
09:08
<alkisg>
E.g. if you have a blank password, and mark it with a * instead of !, then it fails to create new users
09:08
To see the problem, run users-admin from a terminal. This way you'll be able to see the users-admin debug output
09:09
<johnny>
mark it with a *?
09:09
i had problems creating a user myself..
09:09
<dtrask>
ooooh.....would it be sensitive to "toughness" of password?
09:09
<johnny>
dtrask, shouldn't be any more senstive to toughness than passwd..
09:09
<dtrask>
aka "strength"?
09:09
<johnny>
otherwise that sounds like a bug
09:09
<alkisg>
I've seen a lot of things that users-admin doesn't like in /etc/passwd, but no, password strength isn't one of them
09:09
Weird chars, empty lines etc

i don't think people will do that anyways
09:23
not unless it is built into the interface
09:23
which is something i'd like to do

Hmmm you should have named it "beer" or "lobster" then... e.g. /beer alkisg, /lobster sbalneav... ;)

too bad freenode doesn't really use xmpp :(

major difference with nouveau performance and nvidia 173xx driver performance
09:25
scrolling a page in firefox would spike the cpu with nouveau
09:25
for as long as i was scrolling that is
09:26
there's a tiny spike when i start.. but it goes back to normal right away

Hi, i dont have sound, the last week i killed the sound volume applet because it used too much cpu and now i dont have sound (in server)
09:35
in terminals i have sound

09:39Brian_H has joined #ltsp

<sbalneav>
sometimes the sound setup for a user can get mucked up if they've logged in on a thin client, then log in on the console.
09:39
My advice: don't log in on the console.
09:40
leave the console alone, if the teacher needs to log in, give THEM a thin client.
09:40
<coordinador>
the console you mean the server, right?
09:40
<sbalneav>
right.
09:41
<coordinador>
the problem is that for some reason the terminals have a "conflict" with the vga multiplexer, and it doesnt turn on :S
09:41
*power on
09:41
so, i bought a usb audio adapter for the server
09:41
<kbelecke>
hello i have a problem with configure my ltsp/dhcp.conf maybe someone can help me. i have 2 network cards inside my server eth1 for internet connected to my router on 192.168.0.1 netmask 225.225.225.0 and eth0 for my clients with the static ip 192.168.3.1 and netmask 255.255.255.224 now i dont now how to configure my dhcpd.conf. here my config on nopaste: http://nopaste.info/29d11d47e9.html i hope someone can help me :)
09:41
<sbalneav>
what vga multiplexer?
09:43
<coordinador>
sbalneav, omg! it worked! :S i entered to alsamixer and despite the volume was to 100% the Mute was active :S i dont know why, but, well... i will reboot and see if it worked forever
09:43
thank you for your advice anyway, i will keep in mind at the other servers
09:44
i will reboot now, thank you again, bye

kbelecke: Looking at your dhcpd.conf
09:45
kbelecke: The subnet and range have to reflect your eth0 IP address (i.e. 192.168.3.xxx)
09:45
<alkisg>
kbelecke: any particular reason for using 255.255.255.225 for the clients, instead of 255.255.255.0 ?
09:45
<_UsUrPeR_>
woop. nm, I see what you did there
09:46
<kbelecke>
alkisg: no
09:46
<alkisg>
Well then just change it back to 255.255.255.0, and change all occurances of 192.168.0 to 192.168.3, and comment out next-server

09:47
<kbelecke>
alkisg: 255.255.255.0 is the netmask for eth1 is there no problem to use it for the clients too?
09:48
because the clients are on eth0
09:48
<alkisg>
kbelecke: no, they're on a different subnet

oh, yeah, btw, now I wish I'd somehow copied all my configuration files beforehand, but after a re-install of edubuntu 9.10 with my network cables correctly set up, etc... My client is booting up just fine, and all seems to be working!
09:53
So thanks to alkisg and all who tried to help me before.
09:53
<alkisg>
FrozenZia: well at least now you have a more "correct" setup ;)
09:58
<toddobryan>
OK, I'm about to wipe out my current setup and revert to see if a problem will go away. Do I just need copies of /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow to be able to restore all the users?
09:59
<alkisg>
You'll reinstall? Then AFAIK you can't just copy those files over the new ones, because many system users and groups don't have a fixed uid/gid.
10:00
<toddobryan>
OK. I suppose I can just grab the user accounts and leave the system accounts alone.
10:00
I don't want to recreate 150 student accounts.
10:02
<alkisg>
I've made a pygtk app to backup and restore users (and export/import from .csv), but unfortunately it's in greek.. :-/ http://users.sch.gr/alkisg/tosteki/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2181.0;attach=1091;image

<shawnp0wers>
Hello all -- I have an interesting problem, that may be a bug...
13:28
I'm running LTSP5 in Ubuntu 9.10
13:28
And when just "double-clicking" on a file which is mapped to a localapp
13:28
for some reason files with spaces dont' work
13:28
ie, if the file name is "The Video.ogv"
13:29
double clicking forces gnome-mplayer (my local app) to try to open /home/user/Video.ogv
13:29
I'm assuming it's an escaped space problem, but dunno where to begin to look...
13:30* sbalneav shakes fist at spaces in file names.
13:30
<Gadi>
shawnp0wers: I kinda doubt it is trying to open your localapp
13:30
unless you associated it with your local app
13:30
<shawnp0wers>
I removed totem
13:31
and don't have gnome-mplayer installed on the server, only in the chroot
13:31
so I'm pretty sure it's running the localapp
13:31
;)
13:31
<Gadi>
and it actually launches gnome-mplayer?
13:31
<shawnp0wers>
yes
13:31
<Gadi>
weird
13:31
<shawnp0wers>
only if I remove totem though
13:31
which iswhat I was hoping for...
13:32
<Gadi>
well, ltsp-localapps (in /usr/bin) only accepts a single argument
13:32
<shawnp0wers>
hmm...
13:32
<Gadi>
if you like, you can try changing the $1 to "$@"
13:32
<shawnp0wers>
where would I do that?
13:33
<Gadi>
it is a simple shell script
13:33
cp /usr/bin/ltsp-localapps /usr/bin/ltsp-localapps.orig
13:33
vi /usr/bin/ltsp-localapps
13:33
<shawnp0wers>
OH, gotcha
13:33
<Gadi>
that executable was originally intended to be an *example* ;)
13:34
<shawnp0wers>
nope, same thing
13:34
any way to put a ' in there maybe
13:34
I can play around a bit
13:35
Gadi: xprop is a bit over my head, what exactly is the "$*" doing at the end there?
13:36
actually, I sadly have no idea what that script does... lol
13:36
<Gadi>
hehe
13:36
so, here's the deal
13:36
<shawnp0wers>
THere must be some way to encase the $1 argument in quotes though
13:36
<Gadi>
we tell the local app to launch by setting an xatom with xprop
13:36
<shawnp0wers>
(it is just one file, but it has spaces)
13:37
<Gadi>
which is just an arbitrary field in the Xclient
13:37
<shawnp0wers>
can an xprop have spaces?
13:37
<Gadi>
then, ltsp-localappsd on the client reads it
13:37
and executes the contents of the field
13:37
lemme look at the code
13:38
ah, there ya go
13:38
so, ltsp-localapps will set, for example:
13:39
LTSP_COMMAND="gnome-mplayer My Movie.ogv"
13:39
<shawnp0wers>
I see
13:39
<Gadi>
and ltsp-localappsd will try to execute:
13:39
gnome-mplayer My Movie.ogv
13:39
no good
13:39
<shawnp0wers>
which runs gnome-mplayer, happily playing BOTH movie files
13:39
one of which isn't a file
13:39
and the other one which isn't named right
13:39
<Gadi>
right
13:39
<shawnp0wers>
:)
13:40
any simple fixes?
13:40
I mean, single quotes come to mind.... but I'm not sure how to set them
13:41
<Gadi>
hmm...
13:41
<shawnp0wers>
(lol! Yes, in fact gnome-mplayer created a very nice, completely useless playlist...)
13:43
On a side note, it's very cool that ubuntu automatically chooses ltsp-localapps gnome-mplayer as the default media player when totem is removed.
13:44
<Gadi>
try this:
13:44
actually, one sec
13:44
Ill post something
13:44
<shawnp0wers>
awesome!
13:47
Gadi: Just to clarify, will you send me a link as to where you post it? ;)
13:48
<Gadi>
http://paste.ubuntu.com/320228/
13:48
try that
13:48
for ltsp-localapps
13:51
http://paste.ubuntu.com/320234/
13:51
<shawnp0wers>
Gadi: hmm...
13:52
update?
13:52
<Gadi>
that one's a bit better
13:52
<shawnp0wers>
heheh, ok, last one didn't work -- trying new one now
13:55
<Gadi>
anything?
13:55
<shawnp0wers>
no -- trying to figure if it's somethign I messed up or not...
13:56
ok, no -- for some reason it does nothing
13:57
no error messages, but nothing starts
13:57
<Gadi>
can you try running from a terminal window?
13:57
<shawnp0wers>
I did
13:57
<Gadi>
ah
13:57
<shawnp0wers>
put it in quotes...
13:57
the file name
13:57
full path
13:57
<Gadi>
what if you just do: ltsp-localapps gnome-mplayer
13:57
<shawnp0wers>
but it won't even work with other files now
13:57
hang on, good idea
13:57
;)
13:58
with no arguements, the program does start
13:59
<Gadi>
did you just download the file from the paste?
13:59
<shawnp0wers>
no, copy pasted
13:59
I can try to download it... in case I got odd characters I suppose

sorry - misread that does part
14:01
:)
14:01
<shawnp0wers>
oh. :)
14:01
<Gadi>
ok, well thats good - in a way
14:01
one sec...
14:04
shawnp0wers: can you enable remote logging of syslog
14:04
?
14:04
<shawnp0wers>
hmm... not without a bit of googling
14:04
:D
14:04
<Gadi>
hehe
14:04
ls /etc/default /*syslog*
14:05
actually
14:05
vi /etc/default/syslogd
14:05
and add a "-r" to the options
14:05
and then, restart the syslog service
14:06
<shawnp0wers>
hmm... no such file
14:08
ok done
14:08
:)
14:08
(had to install syslogd)
14:08
<Gadi>
ah
14:08
hmmm
14:08
ok
14:08
well, hopefully thats all safe and such
14:08
:)
14:09
tail /var/log/syslog
14:09
or tail -f
14:09
and try to run a localapp
14:09
it should report stuff to syslog
14:10
<shawnp0wers>
hmm... no. Do I need to point my thin client environment to the syslogd server?
14:11
<Gadi>
you may need to reboot it
14:11
the thin client, that is
14:13
<shawnp0wers>
sadly, even on reboot I get nothing from localapps
14:13
I see the nbd_server connection, but nothing from the client
14:13
(ie, during bootup)
14:14
<Gadi>
if syslogd is running and accepting remote connections, you would get much more than that
14:16
shawnp0wers: do you have an /etc/default/rsyslog?
14:16
<shawnp0wers>
no
14:16
I modified the /etc/init.d/sysklogd directly
14:16
with the -r flag
14:16
lemme restart thin client again
14:17
<Gadi>
wait
14:17
<shawnp0wers>
(yes, i restarted teh syslog process)
14:17
<Gadi>
ah
14:17
<shawnp0wers>
ok
14:17
<Gadi>
ok
14:17
hehe
14:17
and you have no rsyslog process?
14:17
<shawnp0wers>
nope
14:17
<Gadi>
ps -efw|grep rsyslog
14:17
<shawnp0wers>
ok, installing it
14:17
<Gadi>
on the server
14:17
<shawnp0wers>
I had wrong syslog installed
14:18
:D
14:18
<Gadi>
weird - I thought that was default in 9.10
14:21
<shawnp0wers>
grr... I still get nothing
14:21
and rsyslogd is running now
14:21
:)
14:21
thin client rebooted
14:22
I still only get nbd_server messages, and tftpd messages
14:22
<Gadi>
and you added a -r in /etc/default/rsyslog
14:22
<shawnp0wers>
yep
14:22
<Gadi>
hmm...
14:22
<shawnp0wers>
wait no
14:22

<Gadi>
lets do this:
14:25
run: ltsp-localapps xterm
14:26
<shawnp0wers>
ok
14:26
<Gadi>
now, in the xterm, vi /usr/sbin/ltsp-localappsd
14:27
<shawnp0wers>
the file doesn't exist...
14:27
<Gadi>
hmm... try /usr/bin/ltsp-localaapsd
14:27
er, /usr/bin/ltsp-localappsd
14:27
<shawnp0wers>
ok, got it. :)
14:27
<Gadi>
damn ps
14:27
<shawnp0wers>
read only though...
14:28
<Gadi>
oh yeah
14:28
<shawnp0wers>
:)
14:28
<Gadi>
sigh
14:28
<shawnp0wers>
I can rebuild the client
14:28
should I edit this in chroot?
14:28
<Gadi>
do you have root access to the client?
14:28
<shawnp0wers>
probably not
14:28
<Gadi>
ah
14:28
ok, do this:
14:28
<shawnp0wers>
I havne't set that up anyway, I'm assuming otu of the box the chroot env has no root enabled
14:29
<Gadi>
in lts.conf, add: SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm
14:29
and reboot the client
14:29
then, you can switch to crtl-alt-f2 at least for root access

Just asking a *silly* question: #1 - When using ltsp-localapps, the thin client does NOT require a hard drive - correct?
14:37
<shawnp0wers>
msaul_: correct
14:37
<msaul_>
Not as silly question #2: Do I use XDG-menu to setup the menu to run local apps instead of opening up xterm in chroot and running it...
14:38
<shawnp0wers>
msaul_: LTSP manages the menu automagically
14:38
it's creepy
14:38
at least in Ubuntu
14:39
<msaul_>
When I run xterm, then do procedure to install app, then exit chroot and ltsp-update-image, when I run app in menu, it is running from the network (going slow). I don't get impression that menu automatically runs via ltsp-localapps

LOCAL_APPS_MENU=True
14:40
LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS=firefox,gnome-mplayer,mplayer,tuxpaint,tuxmath,vlc,frozen-bubble
14:41
<johnny>
shawnp0wers, it should automatically detectthem
14:41
i don'tthink you need to specify them
14:41
<shawnp0wers>
I've never had it auto-detect
14:41
<johnny>
also LOCAL_APPS=T
14:41
that's what i heard.. never yet used them
14:41
<msaul_>
That is probably what is wrong, I will update that... and give it a try...
14:41
<johnny>
unless that is there by default
14:41
Gadi, ?
14:41
<shawnp0wers>
well, it works as written. :D
14:42
even if not correct. lol
14:42
<Gadi>
LOCAL_APPS is true by default
14:42
LOCAL_APPS_MENU is not
14:42
LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS is only needed to whitelist certain apps
14:43
otherwise all apps installed in the chroot are presented in the menus
14:43
<johnny>
as long as LOCAL_APPS_MENU is true?
14:43
<shawnp0wers>
all apps?
14:43
<Gadi>
correct
14:43
<shawnp0wers>
like... "ls" ?
14:43
<johnny>
all apps in the croot
14:43
they will run if they are there
14:43
<Gadi>
if LOCAL_APPS_MENU is unset or false, the menu will items will not be superceded
14:43
<shawnp0wers>
or only menu'd apps?
14:44
<johnny>
shawnp0wers, i you did menu_items.. they are the only ones
14:44
if you don't do menu_items.. then all installed in chroot will run
14:44
<Gadi>
there is also LOCAL_APPS_WHITELIST to only allow certain apps to run at all locally
14:44
<shawnp0wers>
interesting.
14:44
<Gadi>
(perhaps for security reasons)
14:48
<msaul_>
Just updating image after setting LOCAL_APPS_MENU... will get back to you...
14:48
<shawnp0wers>
msaul_: I might have steered you wrong though...
14:48
I guess it's even more magical than I though
14:49
<msaul_>
I like running frozen-bubble in ltsp-localapps - runs pretty well, I notice if sound sfx AND music, the music started to run slower after a while...
14:49
<shawnp0wers>
I think the best way to test is to remove the application from the server, and ONLY have it installed in chroot
14:49
<alkisg>
msaul_: you don't need to update the image after changes in lts.conf
14:50
msaul_: also, how exactly did you install frozen bubble to the chroot? From the xterm?
14:52
<shawnp0wers>
msaul_: My favorites are firefox with java/flash as localapps, along with gnome-mplayer.
14:52
For the first time, LTSP becomes a fully viable option in all my classrooms
14:52
::awesome::
14:53
<sbalneav>
I need to learn to write firfox plugins
14:53
so I can turn the HQTube greasemonkey script into a plugin
14:53
then it can just be globally installed.
14:54
You know, we've had lots of people bemoaning how LTSP5 isn't "as good" as LTSP4.2, for some value of "good".
14:55
However, something that's changed since then is flash.
14:55
Used to be flash was a cool luxury, but not a necessity.
14:55
<jammcq>
yep
14:55
<sbalneav>
Now, it seems that flash is pretty much MANDITORY
14:55
<johnny>
sadly es
14:55
until google goes free :(
14:56
<alkisg>
Go go moonlight :D
14:56
<johnny>
gogo theora
14:56
no
14:56
<sbalneav>
because just about ALL the complaints we get these days are all flash related.
14:56
<johnny>
not moonlight please
14:56
alkisg, html5 + theora
14:56
there's your freedome
14:56
<alkisg>
Can theora do games?
14:56
<johnny>
oh.. games.. no
14:56
i was speaking of video
14:56
<alkisg>
Well... go go moonlight then :)
14:56
<johnny>
for games it would have to be html5 canvas
14:56
<jammcq>
htlm5 isn't really gonna catch on until IE supports it
14:56
<alkisg>
At least this one does play well with linux
14:57
<sbalneav>
what's moonlight?
14:57
<johnny>
alkisg, canvas can do it
14:57
<alkisg>
silverlight for mono
14:57
<jammcq>
sbalneav: the light of the moon
14:57
<johnny>
alkisg, so.. yes html5 stuff can do it
14:57
<alkisg>
johnny: google for "flash games" and tell me how many of those you could program with canvas :)
14:57
<johnny>
no need for ms crapola..
14:57
<alkisg>
Canvas is extra ultra slow
14:57
<johnny>
alkisg, most?
14:57
for now
14:57
<alkisg>
Putpixel with javascript...
14:57
Nope, almost none of them
14:57
<sbalneav>
jammcq: just answered a question in edubuntu-users list.
14:57
<rjune>
alkisg, canvas is the SVG render?
14:57
<alkisg>
Yup
14:57
<johnny>
alkisg, i'd rather keep flash
14:58
until canvas is ready
14:58
otherwise people won't switch from silverlight
14:58
<sbalneav>
Apparently, since LTSP can't handle 30 people running flash simultaneouslu, the project isn't "viable" :)
14:58
<rjune>
alkisg, you paying for one to be written? pretty sure I could write quite a few.
14:59
<alkisg>
For some game in canvas? No - I'm just saying it won't be fast enough to be playable
14:59
<rjune>
You really think so?
14:59
<jammcq>
sbalneav: ltsp isn't viable for EVERYBODY, but it sure is for lots of people
14:59
<alkisg>
Yeah, I did some speed measuring a year ago, it's like thousands of times slower than flash animations
14:59
<johnny>
alkisg, of course it will be fast enough
14:59
<shawnp0wers>
I'll give some props to Adobe too -- they've taken Linux a lot more seriously of late
14:59
<johnny>
it's just nobody cares yet..
14:59
<sbalneav>
I really wish someone would run 30 flash sessions in I.E. with rdesktop.
14:59
and post the results :)
15:00
<rjune>
sbalneav, on a windows server right?
15:00
<sbalneav>
right.
15:00
<jammcq>
used to be that MS recommended 1 server for every 25 terminal services users
15:00
dunno what they are recommending now
15:00
<alkisg>
shawnp0wers: flash doesn't even yet support utf8...! It only supports english language - unacceptable for applications, flex etc
15:01
<shawnp0wers>
alkisg: huh... Perhaps I can bend some ears about that.
15:01
<elias_a_>
shawnp0wers: Where does this Adobe being serious about Linux show?
15:01
<alkisg>
It's a known bug, for 2 years now
15:01
They say they'll fix it in the "next major flash release" for linux
15:01
<shawnp0wers>
Adobe flash being released in unison with Windows, same with AIR
15:01
I'm not saying they're awesome
15:01
but at least we're not 2 versions behind anymore
15:02
<elias_a_>
In addition to this UTF-8 bug we still have the v4l2 problem in Linux.
15:02
<johnny>
that problem is solving itself
15:02
<shawnp0wers>
I have some inside folks at Adobe too I'll pass along some frustrations.
15:02
<johnny>
as the old stuff is deprecated
15:02* shawnp0wers has his big-boy journalist pants on
15:02
<elias_a_>
Leaves Flash practically not usable.
15:02
<shawnp0wers>
lol
15:02
<elias_a_>
:D
15:03
<shawnp0wers>
elias_a_: what is the problem with v4l2? (ignorance on my part, never had a problem with v4l and flash)
15:05
<msaul_>
I redid, but again, running from menu, no difference...
15:06
I then ran in xterm using ltsp-localapps xterm, ran frozen bubble and ran the way it should...
15:06
Someone mentioned "leading me astray" - I'm listening...
15:07
<johnny>
msaul_, well try with shawnp0wers says.. specific them in LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS
15:07
if that works.. you found a bug
15:07
and can kick Gadi
15:07
<msaul_>
I installed frozen bubble in chroot via xterm
15:07
<johnny>
via xterm?
15:07
huh
15:07
<msaul_>
I did
15:07
<johnny>
you have to build it into the chroot
15:07
<msaul_>
in the LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS
15:07
<johnny>
not in the local thin session
15:08
did you do
15:08
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
15:08
apt-get install frozen-bubble
15:08
exit
15:08
<elias_a_>
shawnp0wers: This summarizes the v4l2 problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/420711
15:08
<johnny>
ltsp-update-image -a i386
15:08
<msaul_>
yes, I did that...
15:08
<johnny>
you did update image?
15:08
<msaul_>
I then exited chroot, and ran ltsp-update-image
15:09
I didn't use -a i386 option...
15:09pmatulis has quit IRC
15:09
<johnny>
well if your server is i386 you don't have to
15:09
<msaul_>
But, when I added LOCAL_APPS_MENU to True and LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS, I didn't do that in chroot. was I supposed to do that in chroot as well?
15:09
<johnny>
it doesn't hurt either tho
15:09
no..
15:09
just to lts.conf
15:10
<msaul_>
I did that
15:10
<johnny>
i have yet to be able to do local apps
15:10
<msaul_>
Under /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
15:10
then ran ltsp-update-image...
15:10
<johnny>
you're supposed to lts.conf in /var/lib/tftpboot
15:10
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
15:10
<msaul_>
OK, I'll do that...
15:10
<johnny>
the header of the chroot one shoudl have told you that
15:11
uhmm
15:11
it also needs
15:11
[default]
15:11
at the top
15:11
so it'll parse
15:11
run a local shell
15:11
and type getltscfg
15:11
<elias_a_>
shawnp0wers: For example I have a webcam that works ok with Ekiga and Skype. Flash video with it does not work.
15:11
<johnny>
make sure it is parsed
15:11
<shawnp0wers>
elias_a_: Ok, thanks.
15:12
<elias_a_>
shawnp0wers: If you are able to speed things up a bit I am really grateful as we are trying to run video conferencing on LTSP.
15:15
<johnny>
anybody seen a boot cd with only the purpose of loading a usb key ?
15:15
in case the system won't boot from usb natively
15:16
<shawnp0wers>
elias_a_: Email sent to my Adobe contact... maybe he'll have some info for me.
15:17
<elias_a_>
shawnp0wers: Thanks! Keep me informed, will you?
15:17
<alkisg>
johnny: you can use whatever boot loader for that
15:18
johnny: e.g. I do it from my ltsp netboot menu... ;)
15:18
(pxelinux)
15:18
<johnny>
sure.. i just want an img to burn :)
15:18
<alkisg>
Well, grub rescue cd?
15:18

shawnp0wers: The reason for me being eager on this one: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/
15:18
That one rocks for real :)
15:19

i guess i just need to know what commands to type at the grub line then.. ok

OK, that did the trick thanks...
15:24
<shawnp0wers>
msaul_: What did the trick?
15:24
<msaul_>
I notice that when playing frozen-bubble, it doesn't have music. I'm not complaining, sound fx are just fine. Just curious, was music taken off on purpose when running ltsp-localapps?
15:24
<shawnp0wers>
my menu stuff, or other stuff?
15:24
<msaul_>
I am able to run frozen-bubble from menu now...
15:24
:)
15:24
<shawnp0wers>
elias_a_: Awesome looking app...
15:25
<alkisg>
johnny: no - if you have a specific file in the stick, you can use the grub find command...
15:25
<msaul_>
the suggestion to place info in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf did the trick...
15:25
<alkisg>
(and burn the cd with that specific command, I mean)
15:27Kicer86 has quit IRC

I guess my only other question is how to get connect to Internet when running ltsp-localapps - is there a URL with *good* instructions to make this work? I will try that on my own instead of bugging you guys... :)
15:29
btw, the #ltsp channel is very user-friendly, I mentioned this in my blog, keep up the great support :)
15:29
Probably too many people just chat to get info and split - I appreciate the excellent info
15:30
<jammcq>
it really helps to have "quality users"
15:30
<msaul_>
I will blog this and hope to have all of the information in a concise area...

15:43
<shawnp0wers>
Gadi: Will do -- sorry for the hassle. :)

15:48
<elias_a_>
The video issue is a separate one.
15:49
<alkisg>
Urm, sorry, I was talking about the utf8 bug
15:49
Ah, so they'll fix both issues in 10.1? Wow, party time...
15:49
<shawnp0wers>
I don't have an Adobe account, but hopefully FP-2138 is the right one
15:49
alkisg: I have no idea about the UTF8 bug
15:50

Yup they said 10.1 for that as well
15:50

Hi all: got a quick ubuntu ltsp question: I've just set up a new server, and did apt-get install ltsp-server. I then had to manually run ltsp-build-client, and got most things working. However, presently its not starting inetd on its own.
18:33
I got it working by running "sudo inetd", but there doesn't appear to be an /etc/init.d/inetd or simiar file, and I haven't found "the ubuntu way" to set inetd to start on boot.
