Hello. Does someone have exprience on connection problems of playing flash video content?
02:01
Hardy 8.04 in question.
02:02
<gnunux>
hi
02:02
<elias_a>
I do of course understand that playng video is not that easy task on LTSP.
02:02
<gnunux>
flash video are slow ?
02:02
<elias_a>
This problem however is that the playing does not even start.

<elias_a>
For example this link: http://areena.yle.fi/video/981819
02:04
I get a network connection error report.
02:04
<Guerdal82>
Hello all :-p
02:04
<elias_a>
Is there a general problem with flash video when running 32-bit clients on 64-bit server?
02:05
<Guerdal82>
does anyone try to install google-chrome as a localapps on LTSP-cluster 10.04 ?
02:06
I have a error : Failed to bind() /home/david.allard/.config/google-chrome/SingletonSocket: Opération non permise
02:06
<elias_a>
Guerdal82: UUhhhh.. sounds like a pain in the butt....
02:06
<Guerdal82>
what I have do wrong ? if anyone known :-)
02:07
It function very well with LTSP on ubuntu 9.04
02:07
<alkisg>
Guerdal82: I think it needs FOLLOW_SYMLINKS=False
02:08
<Guerdal82>
Yes I try but that don't fix the problem :-(
02:08
SSH_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS or FOLLOW_SYMLINKS ?
02:08
<alkisg>
SSHxxx
02:09
moment...
02:09
<Guerdal82>
how do I know that the parameter is well passed to the thin client ?
02:10
<alkisg>
!localxterm
02:10
<ltspbot`>
alkisg: "localxterm" :: while sitting on a thin client, open a gnome terminal. In that, run: ltsp-localapps xterm. An xterm will open. That xterm runs locally, so any commands you enter there are executed directly on the client.
02:10
<alkisg>
In that xterm, run: getltscfg -a
02:10frgds has joined #ltsp
02:11
<Guerdal82>
ok I try that
02:11
nothing :-(
02:13
<alkisg>
Where's your lts.conf?
02:14
<Guerdal82>
nothing with getltscfg -a but I have all my parameter with getltscfg-cluster -a
02:16
the config from the ltsp-cluster-admin : http://pastebin.com/7JHt4mre
02:17
<alkisg>
Ah, sorry, no idea about cluster.
02:18
Google chrome worked fine for me with SSH_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS=False

i have a wierd problem booting up ltsp clients
06:36
sometimes (at random) the booting process stops and you have to turn off the client to try booting again
06:36
after 1/5 tries it boots normaly
06:37
so after a bit of debuging, i got it to /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-core
06:38
this line -> start_sound || true
06:42
or just before it
06:42
./usr/share/ltsp/screen_session
06:50
or not...
06:51
is there any developers docs?

hi
08:00
maybe someone of you guys can give me a hint
08:00alkisg has quit IRC
08:01
<fly23>
after upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 i can't connect to the X-server
08:02
the users .xsession-errors states 'permission denied'
08:02
<dobber_>
did you `ltsp-update-sshkeys`
08:02
<fly23>
yes
08:02
<dobber_>
in 8.04 isn't ltsp still version 4 ?
08:03
<fly23>
and an ltsp-update-image
08:03
at least it was ltsp over nbd running before
08:04markit has joined #ltsp
08:04
<dobber_>
you boot fine, ldm starts and when you login it says "permission denied" ?
08:05
<fly23>
no, i just get thrown back to ldm
08:05
ich find this line in the users .xsession-errors
08:07
i tried false credentials, at least then i get a message at LDM
08:11
<dobber_>
well, i dont know enough ot ltsp to help from here
08:13
fly23 can you ssh to your server and login with client user/pass
08:16
<fly23>
yes
08:16
that way i can read the users .xsession-errors
08:16
and thats the only clue i have
08:17
"open: Permission denied"

Hi guys! Does anyone know if LTSP 5.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS supports an auto-login configured in lts.conf?
08:25cliebow has joined #ltsp
08:25
<vizz>
PMantis: in [ethernet-addr] section LDM_USERNAME & LDM_PASSWORD should work
08:25
<cliebow>
Hey STeve!!!
08:26
<PMantis>
cliebow: Hi!!
08:27
It's Chuckie. LOL
08:27
<cliebow>
havnt seen you for a while..still in ny?
08:27
<PMantis>
cliebow: yes
08:27
<cliebow>
nice to see the old 4.2 ltspers around
08:28
<PMantis>
Heh, yeah. I'm a little rusty, and LTSP 5.x is a bit of a strange concept.
08:28
No RJune today?
08:28
I like to pick on him. LOL

rjune is like you..pops in once in a while to refresh..
08:30
<PMantis>
vizz: So, [ethernet-addr] section? I assume you're talking about replacing "ethernet-addr" with IP or MAC...
08:30
<cliebow>
ltsp5 still daunting for me as well..cause i have lost my labs..
08:30
<PMantis>
cliebow: Really? I must have been lucky then. :)
08:31
<cliebow>
well..they went one to one with frigging macbooks
08:31
<PMantis>
cliebow: Oh no! You had a good thing going up there! School admins can be annoying.
08:32
<cliebow>
so the macbooks are dropping like flies..sometimes literally..we have one guy dedicated just to sending them back for brokeb screens..
08:32
<PMantis>
Wow
08:33
For that, you'd think it'd be a benefit to have screens in stock and replace them right there.
08:33
<cliebow>
yeah.. we have to go get certified as apple depot
08:33
warranty wise
08:33
the macbooks are a bastard to work with
08:33
<vizz>
PMantis: with mac, right
08:34
<PMantis>
Well, at least they didn't go with windoze lappys!!
08:34
<cliebow>
i put a screen in one last year and sent it home for the weekend with a kid..damn thing caught on fire
08:34
<PMantis>
vizz: Thanks!
08:34
cliebow: SERIOUSLY?!!
08:34
<cliebow>
somehow i pinched the video cable..
08:35
<PMantis>
yow!
08:35
<cliebow>
every screw holding them together is a different size
08:37
<PMantis>
vizz: I think I have this right, but no login. I just changed the resolution and it booted to the new resolution, so I KNOW it's reading the lts.conf. Any log to check?

fly23: did you changed IP of the server? maybe you have to regenerate the ssd keys in chroot, or something like that (newbie here)
09:04
<Guerdal82>
cliebow : Ok I try later
09:09
<PMantis>
vizz: All is working, I adjusted the session settings, and ONLY firefox is opening.
09:09
Now to get the we app to auto-login for this thin client. :)

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49075644/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.ltsp_5.2.1-0ubuntu10~ppa0-bzr1745_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
11:43
It was built successfully for i386, but failed for amd64, with the following error:
11:43
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libpopt.so.0 needed by debian/ltsp-client-core/usr/bin/getltscfg (ELF format: 'elf32-i386'; RPATH: '').
11:45
<kusznir>
Ok, Its only partially fixed, but I'm pretty sure this problem is still auth related..Attempts to ssh in hang an inordinate amount of time, then once logged in, its another inordinate amount of time before my user prompt is delivered.
11:46denisesball has left #ltsp
11:47
<thunsucker>
kusznir: honestly still sounds like dns
11:48
kusznir: once ssh'ed in, do ping 4.2.2.2
11:48
then do ping google.com
11:48
does it hang for a couple seconds pinging google.com but not 4.2.2.2?
11:48
<kusznir>
Both returned immediately.
11:48
I also pinged some local hostnames, and they also returned immediately. No DNS delays here.
11:49
(unless its trying to do a very specific lookup)

So, question out there: can I have a cluster of ltsp "machines", one of which is exclusively dedicated to serving up thin clients' OSes (nbd primarily), and NOT have that machine joined to the central authentication system, or will that break things (like localapps)?

stgraber: now that there's an upstart job for poweroff/reboot -fp, can I delete the -fp parameter from the other source (shell/C) files? They cause unclean shutdowns for me, and I've checked with vagrantc, he also doesn't want the -fp there...
12:26
<johnny>
alkisg, things are working fine iwth lucid :)
12:26
EXCEPt sound on my server :)
12:27
<alkisg>
Heh, is that an ltsp-related problem?
12:27
<johnny>
i only have sound on the front panel headphone
12:27
no.. it's not
12:27
the ltsp part went fine
12:27
i'm not sure if i agree with those whole mess about moving the close/minimize/maximize buttons
12:28
<PMantis>
johnny: Sounds like the mobo and front audio cables don't agree. I've seen that... unplug front audio header and rear audio works again.
12:28
<johnny>
not sure why they did it without adding the new feature they hope to replace it with
12:28
PMantis, it's never been a problem before
12:28
or rather.. it has been a problem before.. on each release
12:28
i have to force the model sometimes
12:28
and sometimes not
12:28
the problem is a driver problem
12:29
<PMantis>
johnny: Very odd indeed, then
12:29
<johnny>
it worked fine in hardy, then broke on each release up to karmic
12:29
<nubae>
johnny, alkisg greets
12:29
<johnny>
and then went fine on karmic
12:29
<alkisg>
Hi nubae
12:29
<johnny>
broken on karmic in that the sound would go.. and then stop after about 5 seconds
12:29
that got fixed by forcing the model
12:30
<nubae>
johnny, I'm just running new saabayon... looks really nice
12:30
not sure how related to gentoo it is anymore
12:30
other than using emerge
12:30
:-)
12:31
I'm trying to install chrome OS on it
12:32
<johnny>
i have no idea of the sabayon os
12:32
never used it
12:32
be more specific in this room nubae , you should know better :)
12:32
<nubae>
its hihgly related to gentoo though
12:32
<johnny>
i know what it is
12:32
but say sabayon os..
12:33
the most relevent usage of sabayon here is the gnome program.. not the gentoo based os
12:33
<nubae>
oh right
12:33
sorrry
12:33
gotcha now ;-)
12:33

<alkisg>
Hey Lns
15:18
<Lns>
what's up alkisg
15:18
<alkisg>
I've tried booting a thin client with 128mb ram off of a thin client chroot
15:18
Worked like a charm - but I have cron off
15:19
So I commited a patch to ltsp, so that now clients with low ram are automatically booted as thin
15:19
So in most cases now it isn't necessary to have 2 chroots, one suffices, and you don't have to specify LTSP_FATCLIENT=false either
15:19
<Lns>
alkisg: oh ok, you meant you booted a 128mb client in a fat client chroot
15:20
<alkisg>
Yup
15:20
<Lns>
alkisg: well, I think that is a good concept - but there should be other things to consider as well, such as CPU speed
15:20
<alkisg>
lns, it's working as a thin client, not a fat client
15:20
<Lns>
and hopefully a variable for the admin to choose their own limits
15:21
alkisg: right - but it was technically booted to a fat client chroot
15:21
right?
15:21
<alkisg>
Lns, I'm talking about that paragraph that you wrote: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients#Separating%20chroots
15:21
That it isn't necessary
15:21
If one has a fat chroot, he doesn't have to have a thin chroot as well for low ram clients
15:22
<Lns>
Did I write that? Haha
15:22
<alkisg>
Yup
15:22* Lns needs ECC in his noggin
15:22
<alkisg>
:)
15:22
<Lns>
that's great alkisg, I think that will help a lot of people out
15:23
<alkisg>
About that variable, yes, I put a FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD parameter
15:23
...with a default value of 300MB
15:24* Lns thinks of some cool additions to alkisg's idea - something like THINRAM_THRESHOLD=n (integer, number of megabytes of RAM to consider "thin" booting in the chroot)
15:24
<Lns>
hahaha
15:24
ok i need to read what you write first
15:24
<alkisg>
Heh, too late for your idea, it was already implemented this morning ;)
15:24
<Lns>
that is awesome!
15:25
<alkisg>
Ugh, I forgot to make it MB though so it's on KB, I'd better change that...
15:25
<Lns>
I was trying to figure out, a while ago, how to symlink between chroots to avoid having to make changes in both when desired..this bypasses that whole thing
15:29
<alkisg>
The fat chroot I was trying with actually needed less RAM than my thin chroot, I need to invistigate why...
15:32* alkisg just booted an 64mb client, cool!
15:43atkuepker has quit IRC
16:00johnny has left #ltsp
16:03
<Lns>
alkisg: ubu 10.04?
16:04
<alkisg>
Lns, yup, but it's not published yet, I'm using the trunk
16:04
(for the ram threshold - the fat chroots should be able to boot thin clients with 64MB in the standard lucid installation)
16:05
(with cron = off)
16:05
<Lns>
alkisg: what exactly doesn't get used in a thin vs. fat client chroot besides the running of most apps locally? anything?
16:05
what's the big deal with cron? it doesn't use much ram right?
16:05
<alkisg>
Cron doesn't, but the software-update etc that it runs, do
16:06
So if those are launched in 64mb clients, they'll just crash
16:06
(some cron jobs also affect thin chroots as well)
16:07
E.g. an apt-xapian-index update will need lots of ram to store the updated database
16:07
<Lns>
ah...sucks though since cron can provide a lot of good functionality even for low ram clients, custom scripts, etc.
16:08
<alkisg>
Lns, the best way is to run the jobs on the server, not on the clients
16:09
I have a network backend where each client offers the server a reverse shell
16:09
So the server can execute arbitrary commands on the clients, even with cron etc

<alkisg>
...and that only consumes 1 mb on each client (=a /bin/sh)
16:10
I hope I can find some time to package this separately from sch-script, so that others can use it...

alkisg: you are great.
16:14
network backend = schscripts?
16:15
<alkisg>
Yup, a part of it
16:15
<Lns>
cool
16:15
<alkisg>
There's also another network backend for users, where each user offers a reverse shell to the teacher
16:15Guerdal82_ has quit IRC
16:16
<alkisg>
...but that would be mostly useful in schools, not in business
16:16
So the user can get screenshots or lock their screens etc, again with just 1 mb of ram
16:16
*the teacher

just finally got around to testing LTSP on powerpc.
16:41
had an excuse to use it for freegeek.
16:51
<Lns>
nice vagrantc1
16:53
how did it test out?
17:01
<vagrantc1>
went smoothly
17:01
ldm came up and was able to log in without a hitch
17:02
this is a pretty dated version of LTSP... debian stable
17:05
<jammcq>
hey vagrantc1
17:05
how's things?
17:08
<vagrantc1>
well, things aren't nearly as good as stuff, but they're holding their own.
17:09
i'm still struggling with udev issues in debian/squeeze :(
17:09
ltspfs isn't working as well as i'd like.
17:10
jammcq: how goes it your neck of the woods?

hi, our company got an ltsp server and a few clients, we asked to have them auto login at boot but the IT company who set them up said its not possible, is that the case ?
23:22
<johnny>
it sure is possible
23:22
2 different ways
23:23
<prek>
yes。。。
23:23
<johnny>
and there's also guest account support, but that involves creating more users on the server side, i use that at my internet cafe
23:23
<prek>
i want each client to auto login into a different user
23:24
say , client one boots into "user1", client 2 boots into "user2"
23:24
<johnny>
yep
23:24
the only problem with the regular autologin, is that you can't actually log out if not using gnome
23:24
<prek>
so i somehow tie user login preferance to MAC address ?
23:24
<johnny>
a gnome that includes a patched gnome-session (i think)
23:24
yes
23:24
so.. another option is tied autologin
23:25
so they can log out, and then choose shutdown from the main login page
23:25
sorry.. i emant.. you can't actually shutdown properly
23:25
<prek>
well, each client is dedicated to a user so there is never a need to log out
23:25
<johnny>
well, what you do , is edit the lts.conf file and set
23:26
<prek>
belive it or not, the users are used to the windows logon and cannot figure out that they need to input both user name and password, despite many trainings...
23:26
<johnny>
LDM_AUTOLOGIN=Y
23:26
[mac]
23:26
LDM_USERNAME=user
23:26
LMD_PASSWORD=pass
23:26
<prek>
just add that anywhere in the file?
23:26
<johnny>
if you don't already have an lts.conf, it must begin with [default] and is usually placed in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
23:27
that's on ubuntu btw
23:27
<prek>
ubuntu here...
23:27
<johnny>
or debian
23:27slidesinger has quit IRC
23:27
<johnny>
ok, then that should do it.. as long as you have a distro newer than gutsy gibbon i think
23:27
<prek>
9.10 i believe
23:28
<johnny>
just make sure to cdreate the accounts first
23:28
if you don't specify the username and enable autologin, it will try based on the pc hostname
23:28
a username and password combo exactly as shown on the ldm login screen
23:29
<prek>
pc hostname ?
23:29
<johnny>
on the hostname shown there
23:29
when you boot up your clients, you do see a hostname in the lower right hand corner?
23:29
ltspXXX
23:29
?
23:29
<prek>
oh yes
23:29
i think it says ltsp and an ip
23:29
<johnny>
yep
23:29
it's part of the ip
23:29
<prek>
never paid attaention to it
23:30
<johnny>
well, if you create user accounts on the server with those names.. and with that password, it will autologin without specifying any thing in lts.conf
23:30
other than LDM_AUTOLOGIN=Y
23:30
but.. you can surely assign names as well.. as i showed you originally
23:30
based on the mac address.. or known IP
23:31
<prek>
johnny, do i need to rebuild the image after i add those lines in the ltsp.conf ?
23:31
<johnny>
lts.conf
23:31
not ltsp.conf
23:31
<prek>
sorry,.,.,
23:31
<johnny>
no, you don't
23:31
it's outside of the image
23:31
<prek>
ok, thanks
23:32
<johnny>
just make sure the file begins with [default] on the first line
23:33
<prek>
johnny, it seems like i don't have that file > /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
23:33
<johnny>
then you create it

johnny, can you have a look at this mock lts.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/439718/
23:38
<johnny>
your mac's aren't seperated by :
23:38
err.. the spaces in the address should be :
23:38
and you're missing [default] at the time
23:38
top*
23:40
<prek>
the mac i just wrote from memeory...
23:40
ok, so juts add [defualt] at the top and write the MAC properly , right?
23:41
<johnny>
yes default
23:41
make sure you spell it right :)
23:41
<prek>
ha
23:41
thanks
23:41
<johnny>
and that that user exists
23:41
and get your money back from that consultant :) lol
23:41
or you could show pity on them
23:42
and tell them how you did it
23:42
this functionality has existed for many releases now :)
23:42
<prek>
thanks, i will do it now
