<pingufan>
Hello. I am a newcomer to LTSP. I actually use openSuSE and therefore kiwi-ltsp, but as in that IRC nobody is responding, I ask here.
07:10
I have two clients (server-only apps), but I need to connect local memories (USB-Sticks, i.e.) and USB-RS232 converters to clients and use them from the host.
07:10
How can I do that?
07:10
If somebody could guide me, please?

pingufan: local usb sticks should work out of the box, with ltspfs, without you configuring anything
09:07
For usb-rs232 converters, I'd suggest using some localapp, or trying that kernel module that was promising to do usb via ip (unrelated to ltsp)

10:07
<pingufan>
alkisg: Sorry, I was afk for some time.
10:08
Can you, please, explain to me how I access a locally plugged in USB stick when all apps (including KDE itself) are running on the server?
10:09
You must know I am doing my very first steps with LTSP and have no useful manual.
10:12
<alkisg>
pingufan: if you don't specifically want KDE, I suggest that you use Gnome, LTSP is more integrated with it. For KDE, I think that you should be seeing the USB stick contents in some subdirectory of /media/
10:12
For Gnome, they show up in the "places" menu
10:15
<pingufan>
Nono, I need KDE. I am changing a whole office from Windows -> Linux, and the users prefer a GUI similar to Windows. Ergo: KDE
10:15
<alkisg>
OK
10:15
So check in /media, you should be seeing the stick contents there
10:16
<pingufan>
When I look in /media, I look into the server's /media -- and that one is empty.
10:16
<alkisg>
And you have a stick inserted on the client? what filesystem does it use?
10:16
vfat?
10:17
<pingufan>
Yes. And the stick is visible, when I plug it into the server
10:17
<alkisg>
Which distro/version are you using?
10:17
<pingufan>
openSuSE 11.4 with kiwi-ltsp.
10:18
<alkisg>
ah, I thought you said you moved away from opensuse - but obviously you meant only the irc channel
10:18
No idea, their architecture is a bit different from upstream ltsp
10:18
<pingufan>
But at #kiwi-ltsp there are only 5 people, and noone is really interested in switching its brain on - appears to me.
10:19
<alkisg>
And here we usually point people to #kiwi-ltsp, because it's different and we don't know how to support it :)
10:19
<pingufan>
From my point of understanding, the client should place/map the locally connected media to the server. Or am I wrong?
10:19
<alkisg>
Yes, ltspfs is the component that does that
10:20
Also, on previous ubuntu versions, the user had to be in the 'fuse' group, I don't know if that relates at all to opensuse
10:20
I don't know how to help you, I don't even know how to get a local root shell on an opensuse thin client
10:24
<pingufan>
Ok, but this is easily to verify. I simply look if there is such a group at all.
10:25
How is client's audio handled? I read that it should work out of the box, but I only hear a "knock" when the client initializes its sound system, but no KDE boot sound after login.
10:26
<alkisg>
With pulseaudio. Previously kde had some problems with the pulseaudio+phonon integration, but in recent ubuntu versions it works out of the box on kde too.
10:26
Again, no idea about opensuse.
10:33
<pingufan>
You are still much more help than you possibly believe.
10:34
I have absolutely no idea where to start, you can at least point me to something.
10:41
<Hyperbyte>
:)
10:42
pingufan, if you stick around long enough you'll bump into someone who can help you with OpenSUSE no doubt. :)
10:43
<pingufan>
:D That's a little bit too unsure. Would like to get this system installed and away from my desk where I do first tests right now.
10:44
<Hyperbyte>
I know the feeling. It's a bit difficult to get support for non-Ubuntu distros.
10:45
Took me a while to get LTSP running properly on Fedora too. :)
10:46
<pingufan>
Mhm... But the last thing I'll touch is Ubuntu. My CNC mill runs emc2 on Ubuntu... Uhhh.
10:46
<Hyperbyte>
Well, to be honest with you - I ditched Fedora a while back in favor of Ubuntu, on my LTSP server at least.
10:47
<pingufan>
Sure. But I cannot start doing that and finally end up in having to support multiple distros instead of one.
10:47
<Hyperbyte>
It wasn't a recommendation. :)
10:47
<pingufan>
I know. :P
10:49
It is a pain to use #kiwi-ltsp Absolutely no responses to any question and - whow - 7 additional users...
10:50
<Hyperbyte>
pingufan, what do you expect? These are people who don't get paid to support you, you know.
10:50
They're just users, like you. Well some are developers, but you get my point.
10:51
If you think OpenSUSE LTSP support could be better, I suggest you stick around there and here, and help others with problems, after you get your LTSP working. :)
10:52
<pingufan>
This is the problem. I am a total novice and need help for my first steps.
10:52
<Hyperbyte>
Didn't find anything useful on the Kiwi LTSP wiki?
10:53
<pingufan>
I found dead links and such.
10:53
A promising "How to configure" link, which ends in a dead page.
10:53
<Hyperbyte>
I guess you better sign up for an account there then and fix those. ;)
10:54
<pingufan>
:)
10:54
<Hyperbyte>
You are using this wiki, right? http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:KIWI-LTSP
10:55
<pingufan>
Well, the LTSP idea is really phantastic. It extends the old idea of terminals to a perfect GUI system. -- Great. Exactly what I want.
10:55otavio has left IRC (otavio!~otavio@debian/developer/otavio, Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
10:56
<pingufan>
Exactly. And now scroll down to Guides and click on "configuration guide". :/
10:56
<Hyperbyte>
And then?
10:56
That's not a dead link.
10:57
<pingufan>
No. But pages coming after that...

Local Media on Client WIKI
10:58
<Hyperbyte>

10:58
Old document though.
10:58
No longer relevant. :)
10:59
<pingufan>
Aaaaahhhh --- Need a description which guides me step by step
11:00
<Hyperbyte>
Yeah... like I said, you need to stick around for a while. ;-)
11:01
<pingufan>
This is my only chance. You don't think there is a really good PDF which describes everything?
11:01
<alkisg>
You can also try the ltsp-discuss mailing list, I think a few times people answer kiwi-ltsp-related questions there.
11:02
But here in the #ltsp irc, I don't think I've ever seen someone getting help about kiwi-ltsp. Mostly they're just pointed to #kiwi-ltsp
11:03
Truth be told, most people getting help here either use debian or ubuntu
11:04
<pingufan>
I know. The bad news is: in #kiwi-ltsp there is noobe answering. I stick around....
11:12
Hmm - I looked into the package management of openSuSE and searched for "ltsp". I see a ltspfs with description "Fuse based remote filesystem for LTSP server and thin clients LtspFS is a remote filesystem consisting of two parts: 1) A network server daemon that runs on the LTSP terminal. 2) A FUSE module that runs in userspace on the server, that connects with the daemon on the client." and a not installed "ltspfsd", a daemon for the client. Is
11:12
that one possibly required?
11:13
<Hyperbyte>
ltspfsd should be installed in your chroot and probably already is. It shouldn't be installed on the server itself.
11:15
<pingufan>
In worst case I uninstall it again.
11:15
<Hyperbyte>
ltspfsd is 1) and ltspfs is 2)
11:15
eh, read what you just pasted please and realize that it'd be a complete waste of your time. :)
11:21
<pingufan>
You are right.

There was a problem with dbus and >1024 open files - distro/version/updates?

<alkisg>
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/381063
13:59
On a multiuser system with many desktop users, the system dbus-daemon process can easily exceed the 1024 open files allowed by the default ulimit. When it exceeds that, it goes into a tight loop, sucking up 100% processor, and nobody can log in.
13:59
<anivair>
ubuntu 9.10
13:59
I'd say it's not 100% updated, cause I hate updating this server often
13:59
any suggestions on how to get around that?
13:59
<alkisg>
That should be your problem then, I don't think the fix was backported

<anivair>
(also, i'm down to 47 users now and I'm still seeing the dbus go nts. maybe it just get hung? I'll reboot and see)
14:50
nobody's getting any work done anyway
14:52
<Hyperbyte>
anivair, unrelated to your problem, but how much bandwith does your server have, and how much does it use for +100 clients? If you don't mind me asking, that is. :)
14:52
<anivair>
it has a fill gig
14:52
not 100% sure how much it uses
14:52
I can check in a bit
14:53
<Hyperbyte>
One gigabit?
14:53
<anivair>
yes
14:54
I used to run it on a standard 10/100 connection, but the 1000 is a touch faster (not a huge amount faster, oddly)
14:54
<Hyperbyte>
You have 100 times remote X over one gigabit connection?
14:55
<anivair>
Is that hugely abnormal? It's never been a problem before.
14:55
honestly, they don't do that much
14:55
most of their day is spend in a text based ssh session
14:55
<Hyperbyte>
I dunno, I just assumed it'd require way more than that.
14:56
:)
14:56
<anivair>
so far it's been a champ
14:57
okay, server is back up, so I'll give it a look now
15:04
(sadly, I can't really tell if this works till i get a ton of people on the system again ... guess I'll wait. In the meantime, will play myself over and over in a game of tic-tak-toe and learn something useful about the horrors of nuclear war)

i haven't been at a console this slow in forever. i bumped it up to 115200... :)

I'm not 100% sure that the dbus th ing fixed my problem. I haven't seen that same problem yet, but I have been seeing some similar errors

i think you should be worried if flash wasn't crashing
15:52
otherwise that's a sign it's working as designed

I'm also getting "Jul 20 11:51:06 ltsp1 in.tftpd[20674]: tftp: client does not accept options
15:54
" wh ich is not something that I'm familiar with
15:54
is that a normal LTSP message
15:54
<abeehc>
i'm moving flash to the local client pretty quick for my install
15:54
so i can ignore crashes hehe
15:54
<anivair>
I use it for almost nothing
15:55
<abeehc>
anivair: i have many of those in my logs
15:55

so I don't careif it crashes, I just worry it's inicative of a larger problem
15:55
okay, that helps

hi everybody. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and am having a sound issue with Dell optiplexes and sound
16:09
<anivair>
mostly they are using an ssh terminal to access collections softwre from inside a gnome desktop
16:09
they use the internet a little bit (restricted use)
16:09
and some of them abuse geyes
16:09
that's about it
16:09
oh

and twinkle softphones, but those are locally run

heh
16:12
the poweredge handles itself well.
16:12
also, we're at full capacity now with no problems, so it seems that it was a dbus issue

You didn't need to reboot, just to run ulimit from a terminal
16:13
Nice
16:13
<anivair>
ahh
16:13
well, i did reboot, but it's working anyway
16:14
I'll ulimit next time (not that I hope there is a next time)
16:14
<alkisg_web>
Yes the conf file works after reboot, the command line before reboot
16:14
So the command line was only needed to save you from rebooting, you don't need it now
16:15
And it was fixed in later versions, so you can just forget about that bug now that you've edited the conf file
16:15
<anivair>
sweet!
16:15
I may need tpo look at upgarding soon anyway
16:15
what's a practical limit on users for an ltsp server?
16:15
assuming a pretty beefy quad core system?
16:16
<vagrantc>
anivair: i honestly haven't heard of many systems with more than 30 users
16:16
<alkisg_web>
I never ran big ltsp installations, but for thin clients I guess the network would be the first bottleneck
16:16
<vagrantc>
concurrrent users, that is
16:16
<anivair>
so the first upgrade woul dbe adding another data connection for the server?
16:16
<alkisg_web>
The best thing to do would be to use a system monitor
16:17
And discover the bottlenecks yourself
16:17
<anivair>
sure thing
16:17
<vagrantc>
it also hugely depends on what they're doing ...
16:17
a lightweight environment like LXDE instead of GNOME can free up a lot of resources
16:18* alkisg_web loves lxde, it even runs (normally, without ltsp) on systems with 64 ram
16:18
<vagrantc>
if they're browsing the web and watching flash movies all the time, or running openoffice/libreoffice and such ... it takes considerably more

19:38* alkisg wonders why the kiosk plugin is different between debian/ubuntu...
19:40
<anti_system>
i'm using ltsp on edubuntu but when i try to login says response from server / restarting?
19:41
<alkisg>
anti_system: try running these commands: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys && sudo ltsp-update-image
19:41
Then reboot the client
19:41
<tastle73>
so some of my thin client sessions have sound some do not
19:42
is there a max connections in pulse or something?
19:42
some way to debug it?
19:44
<alkisg>
tastle73: that happens on the same hardware? E.g. on different boots of the same client? Or on clients with different hardware?
19:44
<tastle73>
identical hardware
19:44
<alkisg>
The client syslog would be the place to look
19:44
distro/version?

19:55
Replace <user> with a username that exists on the server
19:55
Leave "server" exactly as it is, don't replace it with anything
19:55
See if you can ssh without seeing any warnings at all
19:58
<anti_system>
cant resolvalkisg i try user@server and give me an error
19:59
could not resolve the hostname
19:59
<alkisg>
Are you sure you're on a shell on the client?
19:59
Because "server" is hardcoded in the client /etc/hosts, what you're saying shouldn't ever happen
19:59
Try this: hostname
20:00
What does it say?
20:01
<anti_system>
dont use "server" use "localhost"
20:01
and i can login at ssh
20:01

Hmmm this is going to be difficult. Try again to follow the wiki page that I linked above, and if you don't understand something from that page, ask here so that we explain it better
20:03
<anti_system>
and no i dont change any config on ltsp

This link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using%20a%20shell%20SCREEN.
20:03
That's what you need to do to start troubleshooting
20:04
It says there "go and change your configuration file named lts.conf"
20:04
Start with the "sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf" that is mentioned there.
20:08
<anti_system>
alkisg i chroot the i386 dir
