Hi
09:59
<maslak>
hi
10:00
<Gieltjev>
I have a problem regardng my LTSP setup
10:00
<maslak>
any details ?
10:01
<Gieltjev>
i am using Ubuntu 10.04.1 and setup LTSP with the alternate CD, after that i updated the DHCPD settings and within vmware everything is working ok
10:02
but when i connect the thin client it boots as it should. but after logging in i hear the Startup sound and the client immediatly logs out
10:03
i can use the Failsave Xterm from the thin client
10:03
the thinclient is a NeoWare CA15
10:03
can you point me to a way to debug this problem?\
10:03
<maslak>
i had similar problem on my first setup... when user was aded by adduser command and not via gui on server
10:04
chceck your syslog on server an on a thin client
10:04
<Gieltjev>
i use the same user as within vmware, in vmware i have a "Thin client" which can connect to the server with the same credentials
10:05
<maslak>
can you login as your first user (one you define durring install?)
10:05
<Gieltjev>
yes
10:05
mp
10:05
i mean no
10:05
only on the server and virtualized client, on the real client i can only login into a failsave Xterm
10:06
how to check the syslog? when i press CTRL ALT F1 i get nothing ( the monitor does not support this mode message)

try forcing display driver to vesa and lower your screen res to 1024x768 via lts conf - that's what helped me at first, then i realised that ltsp cannot detect some video cards properly
10:07
forcing driver should help ypu
10:07
help you*
10:07
<Gieltjev>
ok, i will try that, thanks for the help!
10:08
<maslak>
Gieltjev : if you turn on your rsyslog you'll be able to read logsfrom thinclient directly on server
10:10
<Gieltjev>
ubuntu has rsyslog on by default, right?
10:11
<vagrantc>
not just on, but configured for remote reception
10:12
<Gieltjev>
ok, i tried that, and added a redirect into: /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default
10:12
but that did not work
10:13
<maslak>
can anyone help me with ltsp-cluster ?
10:16
great ;)
10:20yanu_ has joined #ltsp
10:20
<Gieltjev>
sorry, im just new to ltsp, so i don't think i can help with an advanced cluster of ltsp servers ;)
10:21
in lts.conf i only need to have 2 rules right? first: [default] second: XSERVER=vesa
10:21
<maslak>
better idea is to setup [mac:addr:::]
10:22
so you won't have to change it later
10:22
[default] affect all workstations
10:23
<Gieltjev>
i only have 5 workstations, and there all CA15's, this is just a test with one to see if this could work
10:23
<maslak>
default shoul be okfor you ;)
10:29jhutchins_lt2 has joined #ltsp
10:29
<Gieltjev>
ok, for ubuntu 10.04: what do i need to set at SCREEN_01 ? startx does not work
10:30
<maslak>
by default you don't need to setup anything
10:30
<Gieltjev>
i now setup SCREEN_01 to startx and SCREEN_02 to shell
10:30
but i only get a shel
10:30
<maslak>
by default on 10.04 login managr is ldm
10:30
<Gieltjev>
shell
10:30
<maslak>
so screen_07=ldm
10:30
that's gefault config
10:30
<Gieltjev>
thanks
10:30
<maslak>
on screen 1 you'll get login screen
10:31
to local (chroot) enviroment
10:31
(that's a mind shortcut ;P )
10:31
if you want to get shell setup screen 1-6 to shell (can be useful sometimes) and screen 7 to ldm
10:32
screen 1 - i don't use it becouse by default tehere is login screen an shell and they interrupt to each ther
10:32
each other*
10:33
<Gieltjev>
ok thanks, i need to disconnect my cable internet to try this out, so the internet will disconnect,...
10:33
be right back
10:33
thanks !

10:43
<maslak>
how did it go ?
10:43
<Gieltjev>
not too good
10:43
ldm does not show up, and as you said, Screen 1 was messed up
10:44
i now removed the screen_01 and screen_07 part
10:44
<vagrantc>
don't use SCREEN_01
10:44
just don't
10:44
<Gieltjev>
:)
10:45
<vagrantc>
i think on ubuntu, 02-07 are ok
10:45
it will default to the highest number, unless you specify SCREEN_DEFAULT=NN
10:45
<Gieltjev>
one root shell and login promt trough each other :|
10:45
<vagrantc>
where NN is the screen number you want to default to
10:45
<maslak>
2-12 are ok - and it's good to leave ldm on 7
10:46* vagrantc thought 08 was used by something, but that may be a long time ago
10:46
<Gieltjev>
the thin client does not like the vesa driver?
10:46
<maslak>
maybe
10:47
Gieltjev : can you see shell on any screen ?
10:48
vesa works almost on everygraphic card i used, althrough it didn't work on some older intel cards (don;t know why - really...)
10:48
<Gieltjev>
screen 0 is a login prompt
10:48
from which i don't now the password....
10:48
<maslak>
to use this screen you need to enable login
10:49
chroot to yout env
10:49
enable root password
10:49
and ltsp-update-image
10:49
then you'll be able to login
10:49
if you setup screen_02=shell
10:49
<Gieltjev>
i have done the last suggestion
10:49
<maslak>
you'll have direct root shell
10:49
<Gieltjev>
now it s rebooting
10:50
<maslak>
than check lspci to check what card is in your tc
10:50shogunx has joined #ltsp
10:51
<Gieltjev>
A VIA card
10:52
via technologies inc. VT8623[Apollo cle2 intergrated castlerock graphics rev 3
10:54
now set driver to via
10:54
maybe that works?
10:59
<maslak>
via shoud be detected automatically - there can be another problem related to compiz which is default enabled
10:59
if you have weak graphics card and it still tries to use grphic effects it can caouse your xserver to crash
10:59
try xramperc=80 in lts.conf
11:02
<Gieltjev>
no uppercase?
11:03
when i set the driver to via, i saw in the Xorg.7.log: Module via not found....
11:04
<maslak>
Gieltjev : reffer to lts.conf using variables i give you - i'dont remembre all of variables - bot they should be similiar to wht I'm giving you
11:05
<Gieltjev>
my lts.conf was not there, and i could not find it in either /usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples nor /opt/ltsp/i386/share/
11:08
<maslak>
try to install lts-doc ot sth simlar
11:12
<Gieltjev>
it went some further, i even saw the desktop
11:12
but then it disconnected again
11:13
<maslak>
check your xsession.log
11:14
somewhere in your users ~
11:14
or xssessrion errors
11:20gnoob has joined #ltsp
11:20
<Gieltjev>
hmm.. .xsessino-errors contains many errors, i will make a new user and try it again after dinner
11:20
thanks for all your help and time!
11:20
bye..
11:20
<maslak>
checked on server ?
11:20
or tc ?

Hi all!
13:27
I have problem with installing ltsp on gentoo, who can help me?
13:34
<johnny>
you probably shouldn't be using it if you don't want to get deep and dirty with it
13:35
we're still waiting for a major piece of it for it to be easier
13:35
it was a summer of code project, so we'll be integrating it soon i hope
13:43
<vagrantc>
ok, gadi is right. the new changes to ltspfs work much better with multiple CDROMs.
13:43
multiple USB CDROMs
13:43
(and DVD)
13:44* vagrantc waves to Gadi through the logs
13:50
