| 02:22 | <Fishscene> Greetings. I'm trying to log into Ubuntu 11.04 using the 1720 from disklessworkstations.com. When I log in, the screen drops to a terminal saying something with the lines "spurious response..." and dumps me back to the login screen. What should I do to diagnose/resolve this?
| |
| 02:23 | I checked the Xorg.0.log and it doesn't seem helpful.. as far as I can tell, it logs setting up the devices, then sits there for a while and closes all devices/connections
| |
| 02:24 | ..but that might be on my server. I'm pretty confused at the moment.

| 08:14 | <mnieper_> I have problems with the proper start of X sessions (gnome, unity, etc.) on a fresh LTSP fat client installation (Ubuntu 11.04).
| |
| 08:15 | Has anyone experience with recent fat clients? How could I debug ldm or the session start script, for example?
| |
| 08:16 | <Appiah> well what's the problem
| |
| 08:16 | with this "proper" start
| |
| 08:17 | <mnieper_> Problem is that X starts up after I log into ldm. Nautilus and Compiz run but neither gnome-panel nor the application menu, etc.
| |
| 08:18 | <Appiah> if you turn off compiz , does gnome-panel launch?
| |
| 08:18 | <mnieper_> Using nautilus, I can open a gnome terminal and enter "unity --replace" for example. Then Unity runs.
| |
| 08:18 | Wait a moment, let me check without compiz
| |
| 08:19 | <Appiah> this looks like a known bug/issue
| |
| 08:19 | and not ltsp related
| |
| 08:20 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/542343 , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1632444 (example)
| |
| 08:23 | <mnieper_> When I choose the classic gnome session without compiz, it works. Afterwards it worked also when I chose classic gnome with 3D. But with session Ubuntu (= unity) it still does not work.
| |
| 08:24 | Thanks for pointing out the bug report; will read it now.
| |
| 08:25 | <Appiah> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/819394
| |
| 08:25 | Unity fails to load (only Nautilus and Compiz seem to be running).
| |
| 08:25 | might be related
| |
| 08:32 | <mnieper_> The second bug report is my own one :-) --- As to the first: Gnome (even with 3D) seems to run stable now as long as I don't have the LDM_XSESSION variable set.
| |
| 08:32 | The problem with Unity remains. Do you know where the session start is logged so that I can investigate?
| |
| 08:35 | <Appiah> should be some xsession-log somewhere
| |
| 08:38 | <muppis> Hmm.. HP uses gPXE in their fiber-nics. :)
| |
| 08:44 | <mnieper_> @Appiah: This is what I have in xsession-errors in my home directory after trying to start unity: http://pastebin.com/pxUvAij6
| |
| 09:02 | Hmm... in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-session, there is an entry "Required-panel=gnome-shell". In ubuntu.session, there is simply "Required-panel=compiz"
| |
| 09:02 | I wonder where the unity launcher, etc. is started
| |
| 09:03 | cyberorg has left IRC (cyberorg!~cyberorg@opensuse/member/Cyberorg, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 09:18 | <Appiah> I know nothing about unity
| |
| 09:18 | have not even tried it yet :D
| |
| 09:22 | <mnieper_> Guess I have to find a Unity channel :-) I am just wondering why I have this problem with an LTSP fat client but not with a standalone desktop!
| |
| 09:29 | <Appiah> true , but I have no idea on how to debug

| 12:28 | <mnieper_> @Appiah: FYI: I have found a (partial) solution for my Unity problem: I had to activate Unity as a compiz plugin by hand.

| 12:30 | <Appiah> oh
| |
| 12:30 | so I guess it's something in LDM session that's not written for the way unity + compiz launches..

| 12:36 | <mnieper_> @Appiah: Will go through the ldm startup scripts... maybe I find a hint. By the way, I have another problem: Where is the cups server in /etc/cups/client.conf set? Do you possibly know?
| |
| 12:36 | <Appiah> you can put cups settings in lts.conf
| |
| 12:37 | <mnieper_> At the moment it is set to the LDM_SERVER, which is wrong in my installation.
| |
| 12:37 | pmatulis has left IRC (pmatulis!~peter@64.34.151.178, Ping timeout: 276 seconds) | |
| 12:37 | <mnieper_> @Appiah: Great! Thanks!
| |
| 12:39 | <Appiah> CUPS_SERVER = x.x.x.x
| |
| 12:39 | then the client.conf should get that
| |
| 12:41 | <mnieper_> Perfect!

| 12:41 | <mnieper_> Works now.
| |
| 12:42 | <Appiah> so what's the problem after you just enabled compiz via unity?
| |
| 12:43 | <mnieper_> WRT cups: Unfortunately, it is hard to find a recent lts.conf documentation. Even http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man5/lts.conf.5.html does not mention CUPS_SERVER.
| |
| 12:43 | WRT unity: The problem is the other way round.
| |
| 12:43 | Unity (the panel, launcher, etc.) is implemented as a compiz plugin.
| |
| 12:44 | Somehow, the plugin was disabled although I started from scratch.
| |
| 12:44 | <Appiah> in the ltsp-docs package (or whatever the name is) there should be a full list of lts.conf options
| |
| 12:44 | <mnieper_> The non-ldm start process obviously enables the plugin at some point.
| |
| 12:45 | <Appiah> wtf
| |
| 12:45 | that's the most recent one
| |
| 12:46 | found a mailing list saying the same on jaunty
| |
| 12:46 | "it's not in the docs but the function is there"
| |
| 12:46 | *sigh*
| |
| 12:46 | <mnieper_> :-) It has to because CUPS_SERVER works here...
| |
| 12:47 | My main problem is to locate the scripts which actually read those variables... then I could understand what they do and which are there
| |
| 12:48 | <Appiah> I remeber when there was no lts.conf manpage in ubuntu , and I complained a'lot about it
| |
| 12:48 | well not just ubuntu
| |
| 12:49 | <Hyperbyte> And then someone came along, who, instead of complained, rolled up his sleeves and started writing. And we all lived happily ever after. :-)
| |
| 12:49 | <Appiah> I got "it was on the way" and the doc team was working on it
| |
| 12:50 | <Hyperbyte> Heheh, I'm just teasing you. ;-)

| |
| 13:04 | Wonder where the "unity" profile should be selected when the X session starts.

| |
| 16:36 | Just spent ten minutes standing next to my server rack wondering "why are all clients showing link activity on my switch, but none of them show gigabit mode?"
| |
| 16:36 | When finally I realized it's way to past worktime and they're all turned off....

| |
| 16:40 | <Hyperbyte> Yeah, it's just so silly, I thought I'd share...
| |
| 16:40 | <mistik1> thanks :)
| |
| 16:42 | You mean like trying for an hour to see why your code is no longer firing events after the objects have repopulated with new data and ending up reimplementing how it all works only to go down a 50 lines to see that you were disabling the signal chain on another operation you forgot about?
| |
| 16:44 | That was my big one last week :)
| |
| 16:45 | oh well I got a better implementation out of it in the end

| |
| 18:00 | alkisg: here's my screen.d/kiosk: http://pastebin.com/xBQ5zpWv
| |
| 18:00 | <alkisg> Do you actually get a shell on screen_02 ?
| |
| 18:00 | <_UsUrPeR_> After reading the bug pertaining to kiosk, I THINK I did it right, but am not sure
| |
| 18:00 | alkisg: yeah, shell_02 works
| |
| 18:01 | <alkisg> And what is the problem?
| |
| 18:01 | dlezcano has joined IRC (dlezcano!~dlezcano@AToulouse-159-1-48-234.w92-134.abo.wanadoo.fr) | |
| 18:02 | <_UsUrPeR_> alkisg: screen_07 does not automatically log in, and instead the screen flashes on and off
| |
| 18:03 | <alkisg> There shouldn't be any login process involved
| |
| 18:03 | <_UsUrPeR_> my intention was to get a working google-chrome kiosk
| |
| 18:03 | <alkisg> I.e. if you see LDM at all, it's a problem
| |
| 18:03 | <_UsUrPeR_> correct. by "login" I mean it does not open X
| |
| 18:03 | nor does google-chrome appear. instead it flashes a terminal screen evfery so often with an error
| |
| 18:03 | <alkisg> If you switch to vt2 (alt+ctrl+f2), are you automatically switched back to vt7 after a few seconds?
| |
| 18:03 | <_UsUrPeR_> yes
| |
| 18:04 | The error appears to be an xserver error
| |
| 18:04 | oh, addendum: I am running 10.04
| |
| 18:04 | <alkisg> What does the error say?
| |
| 18:04 | Also, did you put the kiosksession file? It's missing in 10.04
| |
| 18:04 | <_UsUrPeR_> It's tough to read it before it disappears and screen goes black again
| |
| 18:05 | nubae has joined IRC (nubae!~nubae@209.Red-2-138-241.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net) | |
| 18:05 | <_UsUrPeR_> it probably appears only half a second, then goes blank for about 10 seconds
| |
| 18:05 | <alkisg> ssh would help there. But, about the kiosksession file? ^
| |
| 18:05 | <_UsUrPeR_> ok, it looks like the error is "Waiting for X server to shut down"
| |
| 18:06 | <alkisg> kiosksession?
| |
| 18:06 | * _UsUrPeR_ checks that | |
| 18:06 | <alkisg> It's written in the bug report about the kiosk problem
| |
| 18:08 | ls /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ltsp/kioskSession
| |
| 18:08 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/572974
| |
| 18:09 | <_UsUrPeR_> got it
| |
| 18:09 | one second
| |
| 18:19 | alkisg: in that bug, is #7's notes required for non-fatclient installations?
| |
| 18:20 | I am still having the same issue after copying kioskSession in to /opt/ltap/i386/usr/share/ltsp/ and updating the image
| |
| 18:21 | <alkisg> The kiosk mode is a special mode, different to both thin and fat clients
| |
| 18:21 | So everything on that bug report is about the kiosk mode
| |
| 18:21 | So yeah, #7 mentions of one possible way to workaround the X_ARGS problem
| |
| 18:21 | <_UsUrPeR_> so creating a XS90-disassembleXorgConf script in screen-session.d is also required?
| |
| 18:21 | <alkisg> You chose another one though, to comment X_ARGS out
| |
| 18:22 | <_UsUrPeR_> gotcha
| |
| 18:22 | and that file appears correct?
| |
| 18:22 | <alkisg> So no need to do both workarounds. One of them suffices
| |
| 18:22 | Unsetting X_CONF sounds better than commenting out X_ARGS
| |
| 18:23 | <_UsUrPeR_> ok, I am trying to figure out what the problem is then. The kioskuser user exists in the chroot, /usr/bin/google-chrome exists in the chroot...
| |
| 18:23 | <alkisg> So I'd prefer that workaround. But, a better method would be to solve the problem
| |
| 18:23 | <_UsUrPeR_> I agree :)
| |
| 18:23 | <alkisg> I.e. see what sets X_CONF :)
| |
| 18:24 | <nubae> sorry been ignoring this channel,a bit, work and other tbings...
| |
| 18:24 | <_UsUrPeR_> also, I did set +x for kioskSession
| |
| 18:24 | <alkisg> What's the error now?
| |
| 18:24 | <nubae> alkisg, u still need the logs?
| |
| 18:24 | <alkisg> Hi nubae. I tried pinging you the other day, you probably weren't on the pc
| |
| 18:24 | I imagine it'd be better if all the logs were there in one place
| |
| 18:25 | <_UsUrPeR_> the error is... "waiting for x server to shut down" still
| |
| 18:25 | <nubae> if it was sat or sun... unlikely
| |
| 18:25 | <alkisg> So yeah if you could mail either me or Hyperbyte the last year's logs...
| |
| 18:25 | It was the day when you pinged me and you told me we'd talk later :)
| |
| 18:25 | <nubae> dcc chat alkigs
| |
| 18:25 | <alkisg> I'm on vacations now, I can't stay online for long
| |
| 18:25 | If mailing is hard, maybe scp then?
| |
| 18:25 | <nubae> ah but u can l
| |
| 18:26 | <_UsUrPeR_> in kioskSession, it's saying "line 1: newline unexpected"
| |
| 18:26 | <nubae> do a quic scp right?
| |
| 18:26 | <alkisg> I believe so
| |
| 18:26 | Let's go private
| |
| 18:26 | <nubae> i justndid
| |
| 18:26 | dcc chatted u
| |
| 18:26 | more private
| |
| 18:26 | accept the connect
| |
| 18:27 | <alkisg> I don't see any requests in pidgi
| |
| 18:27 | n
| |
| 18:27 | But I did /query you, I'm talking to you on the other tab...
| |
| 18:27 | <nubae> ok do /dcc chat nubae from pidgin
| |
| 18:28 | and if not then xchat please
| |
| 18:28 | <alkisg> "unknown command"
| |
| 18:28 | Erm... couldn't you just email me the pass? alkisg at gmail...
| |
| 18:28 | <nubae> dcc chat makes a direct connection between host and user
| |
| 18:28 | no
| |
| 18:29 | <alkisg> Sorry, installing xchat seems to much for me :-/
| |
| 18:29 | <nubae> this is a server with many things on it
| |
| 18:29 | i trust u
| |
| 18:29 | <alkisg> I can make a script that would grab them from your site, if you prefer
| |
| 18:29 | <nubae> i dont trust the net
| |
| 18:29 | u still neeed my details
| |
| 18:29 | i want to give those to u via dcc
| |
| 18:29 | <alkisg> If you change the pass after 1 minute, how can one exploit it?
| |
| 18:30 | <nubae> and irc program will work
| |
| 18:30 | its standard
| |
| 18:30 | <alkisg> I have irssi installed too, except for pidgin
| |
| 18:30 | Would that work for you?
| |
| 18:30 | <nubae> umihgt learn something?
| |
| 18:30 | yes
| |
| 18:30 | <alkisg> Or is xchat specifically needed?

| |
| 18:51 | woop, nm I think i see it as "KIOSK_OPTIONS"

| |
| 19:49 | Is this your subtle way of catching my attention? ;-)
| |
| 19:49 | <shan> Good! not really!
| |
| 19:49 | <Hyperbyte> Heheh, it worked though.
| |
| 19:49 | <shan> True ;)
| |
| 19:49 | <Hyperbyte> Or do you mean 'not really subtle'? ;-)
| |
| 19:50 | <shan> so any idea on how I could resolve the login problem or the date and time problem?
| |
| 19:50 | <Hyperbyte> Login problem I have no idea. LTSP uses SSH as a backend for logging in though.
| |
| 19:51 | Trixboxer has left IRC (Trixboxer!~Trixboxer@office.supportdepartment.net, Quit: "Achievement is not the end, its the beginning of new journey !!!") | |
| 19:51 | <Hyperbyte> So that's what you should test for... SSH problems.
| |
| 19:51 | <shan> ok
| |
| 19:51 | for the date and time issue?
| |
| 19:51 | <abeehc> you need the time to be correct in any case
| |
| 19:51 | do you have lts.conf yet?
| |
| 19:51 | <Hyperbyte> You could enable a screen_02 on the clients, then when someone can't log in, you can use 'ssh username@server' to see some more info maybe
| |
| 19:51 | !screen_02 | echo shan
| |
| 19:51 | <ltsp> shan screen_02: to get a root shell on an Ubuntu thin client: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using%20a%20shell%20SCREEN.
| |
| 19:52 | <Hyperbyte> As for time, that's done by setting up ntpd on the terminal server and TIMESERVER=<server ip> in lts.conf
| |
| 19:53 | <shan> ok, got it.
| |
| 19:53 | <Hyperbyte> As abeehc suggested, start with the time problem first. It might be related to the login problem.
| |
| 19:53 | <shan> yes, I have the default lts.conf
| |
| 19:54 | i haven't modified it.
| |
| 19:55 | <abeehc> by default it doesn't exist
| |
| 19:55 | so that's a bad start i guess
| |
| 19:55 | <Hyperbyte> abeehc, are you sure?
| |
| 19:55 | I had one.
| |
| 19:56 | <abeehc> hmm
| |
| 19:56 | <Hyperbyte> With lots of example config in there too.
| |
| 19:56 | <abeehc> i'm sure for ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04
| |
| 19:56 | it doesn't go to the right place
| |
| 19:56 | <Hyperbyte> Well, 'lots'... some. :)
| |
| 19:56 | <abeehc> where it would be read
| |
| 19:56 | <shan> it was in the /var/lib/tftpboot/...
| |
| 19:56 | its that the right place
| |
| 19:57 | <abeehc> yep depending on your arch
| |
| 19:57 | /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
| |
| 19:57 | you should set TIME_SERVER there
| |
| 19:57 | and TIMEZONE
| |
| 19:57 | <shan> ok
| |
| 19:58 | <Hyperbyte> According to man lts.conf it's TIMESERVER?
| |
| 19:58 | dlezcano has joined IRC (dlezcano!~dlezcano@AToulouse-159-1-21-149.w92-134.abo.wanadoo.fr) | |
| 19:58 | <shan> can I set it to any of the public time servers or should it be set to the ltsp server ip address?
| |
| 19:59 | <Hyperbyte> shan, you can use a public server, but imagine a whole bunch of clients from your IP querying the timeserver... it's a waste of bandwith, but the timeserver might not like it either.
| |
| 19:59 | Besides, setting up ntpd is easy. apt-get install ntp
| |
| 19:59 | <shan> I understand
| |
| 19:59 | <Hyperbyte> Then edit /etc/ntp.conf and set ntpd to start on boot
| |
| 19:59 | <shan> ok
| |
| 19:59 | <Hyperbyte> (I think it starts by default on boot, so you might not need to change that)
| |
| 20:00 | You need to put something like restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 in /etc/ntp.conf to allow your clients to query the timeserver.
| |
| 20:01 | <shan> ok
| |
| 20:02 | <abeehc> yeah nbo underscore sorry dunno where i got that
| |
| 20:03 | <Hyperbyte> :)
| |
| 20:03 | <nubae> Hyperbyte, are you trying to get ltsp working with pinguyos?
| |
| 20:03 | <Hyperbyte> What makes you ask that?

| |
| 20:04 | <abeehc> pre-requisite for irc, no
| |
| 20:04 | <Hyperbyte> nubae, no, seriously? What makes you think that?
| |
| 20:04 | <abeehc> heh
| |
| 20:04 | <nubae> I ask because I too think it wold bve of great benefit to this distro
| |
| 20:05 | <Hyperbyte> nubae, it's the time I've even heard of Pinguyos... what makes you think I'm trying to get LTSP working with it?
| |
| 20:05 | <nubae> also, I wrote much of the LTSP manual
| |
| 20:06 | <Hyperbyte> nubae, you mean the PDF?
| |
| 20:06 | Or sourceforge wiki pages, or?

| 20:10 | <shan> Hyperbyte: any idea about the RCFILE_01?
| |
| 20:11 | <nubae> sure other login options
| |
| 20:11 | like rdp
| |
| 20:11 | for example
| |
| 20:11 | <shan> Also is ldm the default desktop manager or should it be changed to gdm?
| |
| 20:12 | <nubae> ldm
| |
| 20:12 | do not change it
| |
| 20:12 | <shan> ok
| |
| 20:12 | <nubae> unless u enjoy pain
| |
| 20:12 | <Hyperbyte> shan, LDM is 50% of what makes LTSP clients tick.
| |
| 20:12 | <shan> ok
| |
| 20:12 | <Hyperbyte> shan, and what do you mean with RCFILE_01? What do you want to know about it?
| |
| 20:13 | <shan> does the ntp issues have anything to do with the login problem?
| |
| 20:13 | <nubae> welll u can have different methods of logging in, be it screen, rdp, etc
| |
| 20:13 | <Hyperbyte> Could be. Did you get NTP working?
| |
| 20:13 | <nubae> or even mass scripts
| |
| 20:14 | <shan> I have put in the configuration and restarted the ntp service.
| |
| 20:14 | <Hyperbyte> Did you set TIMEZONE and TIMESERVER in lts.conf?
| |
| 20:15 | <shan> i have only put the TIMESERVER not the TIMEZONE
| |
| 20:15 | <abeehc> once you have that local shell you should look at /var/log/ldm.log on a client that is not working

| 20:16 | <abeehc> and that's not great use of time
| |
| 20:16 | thanks
| |
| 20:16 | <shan> when it fails it just comes back to the login screen
| |
| 20:16 | <abeehc> gotcha, ldm.log is wortha look then once you have that shell on the local client
| |
| 20:16 | i think it might say exactly what's up.. if not, then the server's auth.log will be worth looking at too
| |
| 20:17 | <shan> ok
| |
| 20:17 | loather-work has joined IRC (loather-work!~khudson@206.169.71.12) | |
| 20:18 | <abeehc> of course you gotta get one to fail so hopefuly you can recreate that and it's not toooo random

| 20:32 | <shan> abeehc: the time issue is resolved, thank you. but the login problem still hangs on..
| |
| 20:34 | <Hyperbyte> shan, so what do your logs say? And what happens when you try to login via ssh, from the client as user@server?
| |
| 20:34 | alexqwesa has joined IRC (alexqwesa!~alex@alexo-veto.broker.freenet6.net) | |
| 20:35 | <shan> the auth.log says that dbus failuer unregistering from seesion: connection is closed
| |
| 20:35 | <Hyperbyte> That's the message that appears at the exact moment you try to log in?
| |
| 20:35 | <shan> i will check that out now, hold on..
| |
| 20:38 | it first says accepted password for jp from 192.168.13.217 port 33522 ssh2

| |
| 20:44 | <shan> ok, is the /var/log/ldm.log on the client different from what it would be on the server?
| |
| 20:44 | <Damianos> Hyperbyte: Just wanted to say thanks for the help the other day

| |
| 20:48 | <Hyperbyte> Damianos, you sir, are very welcome. :)
| |
| 20:48 | Did you get everything working?
| |
| 20:49 | shan, yes, remember the client is just a Linux machine too. It boots, loads a kernel, has a syslogger and everything. It also runs a bunch of software, but only the software that is needed for a remote connection to the terminal server. So the client has it's own local logs, totally seperate from the server.
| |
| 20:51 | <Damianos> Yeah, I took everything out of /etc/network/interafces except the loopback stuff and did everything via NetworkManager .... the last hangup I had was putting the wrong ipaddress for eth0 (put in the real ip address instead of 0.0.0.0)....anyway, thin clients are booting just fine and WAN and LAN are bridged real nice
| |
| 20:51 | <shan> when I try to go to the terminal I get a message mode not supported
| |
| 20:52 | <Damianos> My last hangup is with italc configuration.
| |
| 20:55 | <shan> Hyperbyte: I have incluede X_MODE_0=1024x768 in the default section of the lts.conf to ensure all our clients boot with this resolution
| |
| 20:56 | When I start up the client machine, and check the terminals by pressing crtl+alt+f2 I get a root login, but when I try to login using the login screen and the try to go back to the terminal I get the mode not supported error on the screen and I am not able to proceed further on that screen.
| |
| 20:57 | <Hyperbyte> shan, why are you setting X_MODE?
| |
| 20:58 | <shan> because the default mode is assumed as 13xx x xxxx where as the monitor supports only 1024 x 768
| |
| 20:59 | when I login to the terminal using a different user, i am able to view the desktop..
| |
| 21:02 | could that the problem, the default login resolution for all the users may be set to the higher resolution. For the user that I am able to get to the desktop, i had changed the monitio settings after loging in to 1024 x 768, but for the other users I did not do that/
| |
| 21:02 | alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg) | |

| 21:04 | !lts.conf

| |
| 21:10 | <Hyperbyte> Hey Alkis. :)
| |
| 21:11 | <alkisg> Yo :)
| |
| 21:11 | <Hyperbyte> I ended up buying new CPU + RAM as well.. heh.
| |
| 21:11 | My old ones were incompatible with the new motherboard.
| |
| 21:12 | <alkisg> Haha
| |
| 21:12 | <Hyperbyte> So anytime you have a few hundred users that need some server to work on, send 'em over. :)
| |
| 21:12 | <alkisg> In the middle of crisis... you go ahead and replace the whole server? :D
| |
| 21:12 | Time to look for bonding now, eh?
| |
| 21:13 | <Hyperbyte> Tomorrow.
| |
| 21:13 | <markit> alkisg: I've booted with systemrescue cd just to try to troubleshooting the bonding problem
| |
| 21:13 | <Hyperbyte> Well actually I've started working 10, 11 hours a day to keep ahead of the workload. :)
| |
| 21:13 | <markit> to make it short... is a switch problem!
| |
| 21:14 | at least, I changed the 1Gb 8 port with an older 100Mbs 8 port and now everything works fine
| |
| 21:14 | <Hyperbyte> So that solves my crisis problems. And since I'm going to the tranquility of Norway in a week or two, I don't wear myself out -too- much.
| |
| 21:14 | <markit> both nic on the server have light on, and not strange "flashes" of all the ports all the time
| |
| 21:15 | <shan> Hyperbyte: the output of the tail -f /var/log/ldm.log is ldm_spawn:pid - 2946

| |
| 21:19 | <alkisg> shan: your problem is that you cannot login, or that X crashes?
| |
| 21:19 | Also, don't paste all that stuff here
| |
| 21:19 | Use the pastebin
| |
| 21:19 | <shan> ldm_spawn: pid = 2964
| |
| 21:19 | <alkisg> Now you're just destroying other people's conversation
| |
| 21:20 | <Damianos> I'm busting my ass to get it done before the kids start showing up next week
| |
| 21:20 | <alkisg> Damianos: there are 2 ways to install italc. The easy one is: `sudo apt-get install italc-master`, on the server. No keys or anything else needed this way.
| |
| 21:21 | <shan> I am sorry, I am not able to do that as I am not able to login to the terminal to use the mouse to copy the output of the file to pastbin.
| |
| 21:21 | <markit> Damianos: I see. I'm setting up a server for elementary schools also.. I need it because teachers tell me that they need to show theri desktop to every children, and then "monitor" how they do it theirselves without being there
| |
| 21:21 | <alkisg> For the other way with the keys, check the ubuntultsp wiki, there's some information there
| |
| 21:21 | shan: you're typing it here, right? Type it into the pastebin.
| |
| 21:21 | <shan> ok,got it.
| |
| 21:21 | <alkisg> Now even if one wanted to read what you're typing, he can't
| |
| 21:21 | <shan> I will do that.
| |
| 21:21 | <markit> Damianos: where are you from? (here northern Iùtaly)
| |
| 21:21 | Italy
| |
| 21:21 | <alkisg> shan: but, again: is your problem that you cannot login, or that X crashes?
| |
| 21:22 | <shan> I am not able to login using certain users.
| |
| 21:22 | <alkisg> Because if the problem is that X crashes, usually it's caused by compiz
| |
| 21:22 | That sounds like compiz too.
| |
| 21:22 | !compiz
| |
| 21:22 | <ltsp> alkisg: compiz: (#1) The default window manager in Gnome is gnome-wm, which automatically launches compiz if it thinks that the card supports it. This causes some LTSP clients to hang just after logon. To disable compiz, see: !disable-compiz, or (#2) the default window manager in gnome is gnome-wm, which automatically chooses compiz if it thinks that the card supports it. Compiz is causing login problems to some clients (1 more message)
| |
| 21:22 | <shan> On the same client, I am able to login as a different user.
| |
| 21:22 | <alkisg> !disable-compiz | echo shan:
| |
| 21:22 | <ltsp> shan: disable-compiz: To disable compiz for all users, run: sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager metacity.
| |
| 21:23 | <alkisg> shan, try that command on the server. Then try again to login as the user that had the problem.
| |
| 21:23 | That command is reversible, so you can undo it if you want
| |
| 21:23 | <shan> ok
| |
| 21:23 | <Damianos> alkisg: how can I uninstall it? I've been through the wiki and various articles...I do the whole ica -createkeypairs thing as well as made sure the keys permissions were set correctly
| |
| 21:24 | I'm afraid my nvidia driver did something to it
| |
| 21:24 | I was trying to set up dual screens when italc stopped seeing the clients
| |
| 21:24 | markit: I'm in Tennessee USA
| |
| 21:25 | <markit> Damianos: ok, too far to meet, and can't talk in italian I guess, lol
| |
| 21:25 | <alkisg> Damianos: sudo apt-get purge italc-master italc-client libitalc; rm -rf /etc/italc ==> or something similar, please check before running those, I haven't used italc for 2 years
| |
| 21:25 | <Damianos> No...I'm of Greek heritage
| |
| 21:25 | <markit> Damianos: I'm really interested if you can make italc work decently.. what distro? here kubuntu 11.04+backports
| |
| 21:25 | <Damianos> alkisg: thanks
| |
| 21:26 | <markit> Damianos: so you could translate alkisg's software in english?
| |
| 21:26 | <Damianos> markit: everything else is going great here. I installed docky and it works fantastic with just the metacity composite manager
| |
| 21:27 | markit: I actually speak Hungarian a lot better than I do Greek.
| |
| 21:28 | <markit> Damianos: do you mind if I give you my email to tell me your experience about italc and how make it work?
| |
| 21:28 | <Damianos> markit: Oh and I chose to go with Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS
| |
| 21:28 | markit: no not at all. I'd be happy to help any way I could
| |
| 21:29 | <Hyperbyte> Damianos++;
| |
| 21:29 | Happy to help others! You are now a 1-star LTSP user!
| |
| 21:30 | <Damianos> Actually, I'm hoping to update my web site with a blog about my adventures
| |
| 21:30 | <markit> Damianos: thanks, I've wrote my email in a private chat
| |
| 21:30 | Damianos: how is that you wife's school is switching to Free software?
| |
| 21:31 | <alkisg> Can someone with Ubuntu Natty (11.04) pastebin that file? /etc/X11/Xsession.d/65compiz_profile-on-session

| 21:32 | <Damianos> markit: they're not. The IT department is fighting and questioning this every step of the way. I'm providing my own desktop and all I asked for is a switch and they're givving me grief
| |
| 21:32 | to hell with them though, this is for my wife and it's made of tech that I saved from the dumpster
| |
| 21:33 | their dumpster to be precise
| |
| 21:33 | <shan> alkisg: Hyperbyte: I guess it is working now. I will have to wait until tomorrow morning, when all the users will be in office to check it out throughly.
| |
| 21:33 | Thank you guys for all the support you had give me today.
| |
| 21:34 | <alkisg> You're welcome
| |
| 21:34 | Remember to use XRANDR_MODE_0 instead of X_MODE_0
| |
| 21:34 | <shan> I sure will.
| |
| 21:34 | <markit> Damianos: mmm FOSS has low acceptance here too... and money are wasted to proprietary sw, but never invested in FOSS.
| |
| 21:34 | Parker955_Away is now known as Parker955 | |
| 21:35 | <shan> lots of new things learned today.
| |
| 21:35 | thank you once again and good night.
| |
| 21:35 | <markit> Damianos: are you setting up a thin of fat classroom?
| |
| 21:35 | shan has left IRC (shan!~shan@117.206.103.41, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 21:35 | <alkisg> Good night from me too. :)
| |
| 21:35 | <markit> because thin clients are not very good for animations... and elementary school could need it a lot
| |
| 21:35 | alkisg has left IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg, Quit: Leaving.) | |
| 21:35 | <markit> alkisg: good night
| |
| 21:35 | <Damianos> setting up thin clients
| |
| 21:36 | good night alkisg
| |
| 21:36 | her basic needs are internet and some midi related programs so thin clients work great
| |
| 21:37 | well thin clients aren't as bad as most people think. If you have a good GPU on the server and a fast switch I think it could be useable
| |
| 21:37 | <markit> ok :)
| |
| 21:38 | GPU on the server is useless
| |
| 21:38 | the rendering is done by clients
| |
| 21:38 | X-server is run on clients PC
| |
| 21:38 | and depends also upon the number of pc :) (I've 12)
| |
| 21:39 | <Damianos> she has 8 stations
| |
| 21:39 | <markit> I hope thin is enough, if not I will go to fat, fortunately they have 1GB ram
| |
| 21:39 | <Damianos> wow
| |
| 21:39 | my thins have 128MB
| |
| 21:40 | oh sorry, you meant for the GPU
| |
| 21:40 | <markit> well, mine are "real" pc formely poisoned by M$ XP
| |
| 21:40 | no, 1GB ram
| |
| 21:40 | <Damianos> ok
| |
| 21:40 | <markit> and a not very performing video board, onfortunately (sys something)
| |
| 21:41 | teachers are very unhappy about the change, I convinced them but if things work not very good, they will scream a lot
| |
| 21:41 | <Damianos> well let me ask you this...can you still use the GPU with thin clients or is that fat only?
| |
| 21:41 | <markit> I suppose you can, since X-Window server runs on clients
| |
| 21:41 | <Damianos> interesting
| |
| 21:41 | <markit> with X the "client server" is "upside down"
| |
| 21:42 | X-Server is what is rendering locally, the client is the application window
| |
| 21:42 | (that runs on your ltsp server)
| |
| 21:43 | <Damianos> so the X windowing system is in vmlinuz?
| |
| 21:43 | in the initrd image?
| |
| 21:43 | <markit> yes
| |
| 21:43 | <Damianos> ok...so it's basically just doing ssh with x-forwarding
| |
| 21:43 | <markit> ltsp provides a very basic linux+gnu+X-Window environment run by "clients"
| |
| 21:44 | probably, the guru is alkisg :)
| |
| 21:44 | <Damianos> yeah, he is the man
| |
| 21:44 | saved me after hours of grief
| |
| 21:45 | <markit> btw, if you need more bandwidth you can add an interface to the server and use bonding, I'm experimenting right now with it
| |
| 21:45 | but I've used an old switch that is broken (or has a broken firmware) and wasted a lot of time
| |
| 21:45 | changing switch solved everything
| |
| 21:45 | (when you say luck...)
| |
| 21:46 | <Damianos> I think it will be ok, it's just that the switch I have now is only 8 ports and that is not enough for 8 stations
| |
| 21:46 | <markit> also I've the problem that if the teacher logoff the server, the screen becomes black and never goes on again
| |
| 21:46 | <Damianos> hmm
| |
| 21:46 | <markit> so you figure how happy I am of the situation
| |
| 21:46 | <Damianos> ouch
| |
| 21:47 | <markit> "GNU is very stable" -> black screen at logout
| |
| 21:47 | <Damianos> I am making sure I experiment with a vm for thin client before I roll out at school
| |
| 21:47 | <markit> the problem with FOSS is that you have to justify every fault
| |
| 21:47 | while with M$crap "is normal"
| |
| 21:48 | well, with my first deploy I encountered problems that I faced only with real hardware
| |
| 21:48 | i.e. very difficoult boot of clients
| |
| 21:49 | (a rare circustamce when you have 100Mbs clients and a 1Gbit switch, fortunalty alkisg had the patch)
| |
| 21:49 | or clients with the logout menu item "suspend" that acted upon the SERVER
| |
| 21:49 | and was not easy to remove
| |
| 21:50 | <Damianos> well I look at it this way...I use everything and for my personal use I like Macs. OSX is a great example of what can be accomplished with OSS. They just put a very polished desktop on top of a Unix core. There is no reason why Linux, BSD or any other 'Nix can't be as good if not better when you know what you're doing
| |
| 21:50 | <markit> or server video board too limited for the monitor... and not having a decent pc-express slot
| |
| 21:50 | OSX is not FOSS, is one of the most slavery creations on sw :)
| |
| 21:51 | <Damianos> OSX is a hybrid though...the foundation is completely open source
| |
| 21:51 | <markit> yea, but you do nothing with it
| |
| 21:51 | or do you use it only command line? :)
| |
| 21:52 | my focal point is freedom, technical aspect are secondary
| |
| 21:52 | <Damianos> I use it for music and I like to use any linux tricks I learn on it
| |
| 21:52 | <markit> are you expert of voice recording?
| |
| 21:53 | I'm providing, with my wife, italian voices for Asterisk
| |
| 21:53 | <Damianos> I play stringed instruments...guitar and greek bouzouki
| |
| 21:53 | <markit> let me check bouzouki on wikipedia :)
| |
| 21:53 | <Damianos> nice....Asterisk as in the animated film?
| |
| 21:53 | <markit> no, like *
| |
| 21:54 | <Damianos> oh
| |
| 21:54 | <markit> the other is AsteriX
| |
| 21:54 | http://www.asterisk.org/
| |
| 21:54 | is a PBX
| |
| 21:54 | and voices are "you dialed the wrong number"
| |
| 21:55 | or something like that PBX plays when needed
| |
| 21:55 | <Damianos> yes I remember now...great for PBX and VOIP too right?
| |
| 21:55 | <markit> right
| |
| 21:55 | <Damianos> gotcha
| |
| 21:55 | dead_inside has left IRC (dead_inside!~dead_insi@76.75.3.174, Quit: Leaving...) | |
| 21:55 | <markit> I'm going to buy some new hw for recording the new ones
| |
| 21:56 | <Damianos> cool
| |
| 21:56 | recording is a money pit
| |
| 21:56 | lol
| |
| 21:56 | <markit> but I'm not expert, and also is hard to check if some piece works with GNU/Linux
| |
| 21:57 | <Damianos> use a standalone recorder and then bring the audio files in via flash drive
| |
| 21:57 | I bet you have an android phone
| |
| 21:57 | <markit> yea... I want to buy a mixer + mic + usb audio board = 143 euros :(
| |
| 21:57 | <Damianos> get an android app with a four track recorder on it
| |
| 21:57 | <markit> yes, G1, the first one... not happy about licenses of most of the apps though... but is the "less evil" I've found
| |
| 21:57 | <Damianos> then use whatever mic you like
| |
| 21:58 | <markit> how can I connect mic with android?
| |
| 21:58 | well, better go private
| |
| 21:58 | not very much ltsp related :)
| |
| 21:58 | <Damianos> true
| |
| 21:58 | actually, I have to go meet a client in a bit so I should start packing my stuff
| |
| 21:59 | <markit> ok, no problem :)
| |
| 22:00 | see you later or better tomorrow
| |
| 22:00 | (11.59pm here)
| |
