stgraber, doh... I'm trying to build ldm with glib-2.20, but some new GTree stuff is not compatible.
06:05
stgraber, any recommendations?
06:07
I guess there's no worthwhile solution for this.

15:59* _UsUrPeR_ tips his hat
16:00
<_UsUrPeR_>
hey guys. I am trying to figure out how to use more than one lts.conf dependent on client hardware profiles
16:00
what's the best way to determine what hardware is booting on a server?
16:00
I like the way ltsp-cluster did it, but am thinking I am going to have to script up something
16:02
<Gadi>
_UsUrPeR_: why not create your own hardware-dependent code in ltsp_config.d/ in the image?
16:02
<_UsUrPeR_>
Gadi: because I didn't know I could! :D
16:02
<Gadi>
hehe
16:02
do you have an example of what you would like to do?
16:02
<_UsUrPeR_>
This is something I need to do because some clients booting on given servers cannot handle localapps, while others can
16:03
so I want the more capable clients to use localapps, while the slower ones will not
16:03
hence: different lts.conf. One with LTSP_LOCALAPPS = TRUE, one with false.
16:03
or something equivalent
16:03
<Gadi>
yeah, so instead of that....
16:03
drop a file in $chroot/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp_config.d/
16:04
that basically does:
16:04
if [meets these requirements; then export LTSP_LOCALAPPS=True; fi
16:04
or some such
16:04
<_UsUrPeR_>
one thing at a time though: how do I get the client hardware profile during the boot process so I can tell which client will be using this stuff?
16:05
<Gadi>
maybe with an: else export LTSP_LOCALAPPS=False
16:05
depends what parameters you want
16:05
cpu => /proc/cpuinfo
16:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
probably processor or video card
16:05
<Gadi>
mem => /proc//meminfo
16:05
video card => lspci -v
16:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
mmmhmm
16:06
<Gadi>
|grep VGA
16:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
thanks! :D
16:06
<Gadi>
:)
16:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
that should do it.
16:06
<Gadi>
or you can take the code from the ltsp-cluster code
16:06
they call it an "inventory"
16:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
interesting. I didnt want to delve in to it
16:06* Gadi smiles at the French Canadians - hi, mgariepy!
16:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
but that may help
16:06* _UsUrPeR_ waves
16:07
<_UsUrPeR_>
Canada's our hat!
16:07
(I kid)
16:07
<Gadi>
anyhow, they have a bash script that they call
16:07
<_UsUrPeR_>
yeah, I can come up with something
16:07
<Gadi>
that basically collects all those params
16:08
now, be mindful that ltsp_config.d/ is called whenever ltsp_config is called
16:09
so, the worse your code, the more delays you'll feel
16:09
:)
16:09
(eg. on boot)
16:09
<warren>
ogra_, yeah
16:10
<Gadi>
warren: hurry up and finish bus school - the country needs you! :)
16:10Damianos has left IRC (Damianos!~Damianos@adsl-070-145-074-043.sip.cha.bellsouth.net)
16:11
<warren>
Gadi, then I'll go into a field that is always productive and with intelligent discourse, like politics!
16:11
<Gadi>
hehe - I'd vote for you
16:11
<warren>
Gadi, hey, what kind of thin clients do you sell these days?
16:11
<Gadi>
you weere born in Hawaii, right?
16:11
:P
16:12
warren: I'll sell whatever you want at this point
16:12
:)
16:12
<warren>
Gadi, 2 years ago I was driving around Honolulu with a Red Hat co-worker. I pointed at a hospital and said, "I was born in the same hospital as Obama!" He said, "In Kenya?"
16:12
Gadi, you mean you don't sell thin clients anymore?
16:12
<Gadi>
no, we do we do
16:12
<warren>
what chipset?
16:12
Gadi, https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/
16:13
<Gadi>
its just, I am just reflecting on the economic situation
16:13
:)
16:13
<warren>
Gadi, new release supported through 2017!
16:13
<Gadi>
yeah, Ive been watching your progress
16:13
you're a machine
16:13
:)
16:13
<warren>
Gadi, yes, a broken machine ...
16:13
<Gadi>
hardly
16:13
you're totally my hero
16:13
must be the Kona coffee
16:14
<warren>
Gadi, my LTSP is a bit behind the times... I've now managed ... the same capability as ltsp-5 ~3 years ago. I have no idea how the newer features work.
16:14
ltsp-cluster, ltsp_config.d, fat client?
16:14
no clue
16:14
<Gadi>
its magic and pixie dust
16:14
<warren>
didn't implement it
16:14
<Gadi>
remember, we usually do it in Maine
16:14
:)
16:14
<warren>
a bit far now...
16:15
<Gadi>
I meant over beer
16:15
:P
16:15
we dont know how it works either
16:15
lol
16:16
<warren>
I don't drink.
16:16
coffee or alcohol
16:16
<Gadi>
that's why we depend on you
16:16
you're the designated coder
16:16
:)
16:16
<warren>
Gadi, and I recently joined a religion where the Sabbath is on saturday.
16:16
<Gadi>
was it to be cool like me?
16:17
<mgariepy>
hey how you guys doing ?
16:17
<warren>
Gadi, yes.
16:17
<Gadi>
I knew it!
16:17
hey, mgariepy
16:17MorningSon has joined IRC (MorningSon!~MorningSo@cpe-70-117-27-48.satx.res.rr.com)
16:18
<mgariepy>
any of you made sssd work with edirectory ?
16:18
<Gadi>
mgariepy likes to put random words together in a sentence
16:18
<mgariepy>
haha
16:19
<Gadi>
I think he's a bot
16:20
warren: do you know anyone who wants a bunch of old Geode GX2 based clients?
16:20alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg)
16:20
<warren>
Gadi, perhaps
16:20
Gadi, how many is a bunch?
16:20
<Gadi>
we offered some tradeups over thepast couple of years, and now Ive got a bunch of em
16:20
good question
16:20
not 100
16:20
but more than 60
16:20
I think
16:21
I need to check into it
16:21
<warren>
hmm, my target schools now might be horrified by the performance of GX2
16:21
<Gadi>
yeah
16:21
many are
16:21
:)
16:21
but hey are energy efficient
16:21
*they
16:21
<warren>
GX2 might be good for industrial or POS
16:21
<Gadi>
like 4 watts
16:21
<warren>
there are two meanings of POS
16:21
<Gadi>
always
16:21
<warren>
both true
16:21
<Gadi>
yup
16:22
but I can throw in VESA mounts
16:22
:)
16:22
<warren>
Gadi, that and we never implemented X autodetect capable of differentiating GX2 and LX
16:22
<Gadi>
we? I didnt know you were tackling that one too!
16:22
you're a machine!
16:23
<warren>
Gadi, I have zero GX2's at the moment, I could use at least one for testing.
16:23
Gadi, does it PXE or coreboot?
16:23
<Gadi>
well, it'll cost me a fortune to ship to hawaii
16:23
PXE boot
16:23
maybe I can meet you at a bar on the moon for a beer
16:23
for me
16:23
ice water for you
16:23
:)
16:24
like Tom Cruise
16:24
in Top Gun
16:24
<warren>
hah
16:24
<Gadi>
hemlock, isit?
16:24
<warren>
Gadi, how much RAM in the GX2's?
16:24
<Gadi>
I think 128MB
16:24
<warren>
Gadi, what chipset ships in your newest thin clients?
16:25
<Gadi>
we've been trying to move to Atoms, but we still sell Vias, too
16:25
Vias are cheaper
16:25shawnp0wers has left IRC (shawnp0wers!~Adium@linuxjournal/staff/shawnp0wers, Quit: Leaving.)
16:25
<Gadi>
(to manufacture)
16:25
CN896s and the like
16:26
<warren>
Gadi, how many GX2's will fit into a USPS Small Flat-Rate Priority Mail box?
16:26
<Gadi>
sounds like a Jeopardy question
16:26
<warren>
no, a Jeopardy question would be like "3"
16:26
<Gadi>
let me find the dimensions of said box
16:28
<warren>
hm
16:29
Gadi, I'm sorry, I know how slow a LX is, and GX2 lacks L2 cache right?
16:29
Gadi, even LX wont cut it for my users.
16:29
Gadi, I do have a desire to recycle
16:30
<Gadi>
yeah, me too
16:30
but, I know what you mean
16:30
I keep trying to think of what they could be used for short of video
16:30
:)
16:31
though, its not too bad at low res
16:31
<warren>
can't even buy lowres monitors anymore
16:32
Gadi, I could sell it to school this way, "We can disable all the FUN."
16:32
<Gadi>
hehe
16:32
now I know Ill vote for you
16:33
<warren>
oooh, I want a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
16:34
I know I don't need one...
16:34
<Gadi>
commercial come on while watching cartoon network?
16:34
:)
16:35bieb has joined IRC (bieb!~hbieber@66-192-20-118.static.twtelecom.net)
16:36
<warren>
Gadi, no cable here
16:36
Gadi, that would violate the NO FUN rule.
16:36
<Gadi>
can't you get the professor to rig something up with a couple of coconuts?
16:39
<warren>
Gadi, I could make an insensitive joke in response.
16:39
<Gadi>
careful, it may come back to bite you when you run for office
16:45
<warren>
Gadi, meh... I guess I could use at least one for testing and also to demonstrate what a VESA mount looks like.
16:46
Gadi, schools don't have imagination unless its in front of their nose.
16:47
Gadi, oh good, my unused monitor here has vesa mount holes
16:48
Gadi, could you also send one of each of your current clients? I can test them and mail them back if you want. Then I can update my "certified hardware database".
16:49
Gadi, I can pay for shipping.
16:49
<Gadi>
wouldn't it be easier if I tested them?
16:49
or do you mean more than just do they boot
16:49
:)
16:50
<warren>
heh
16:50
Gadi, are all of your clients vesa mountable?
16:50
<Gadi>
yup
16:50
<warren>
Gadi, I'm doing demos for schools soon, would be more impressive mounted
16:51
<bieb>
Gadi: hey man!! long time no see.. how is everything?
16:52
<Gadi>
my guess is the schools dont need fiber thin clients ;)
16:52
<warren>
you do fiber!?
16:52
why!?
16:52
<Gadi>
yup lots
16:52
gvmt
16:52
<warren>
you do *only* fiber?
16:52
<Gadi>
no
16:52
not onlly
16:52
<warren>
how does fiber work? you can PXE from fiber?
16:53
<Gadi>
but lots of secret labs use fiber
16:53
for security
16:53
yup
16:53* Gadi waves to bieb
16:54
<bieb>
Gadi: you seen Scotty lately??
16:55
<Gadi>
!seen sbalneav
16:55
<ltsp>
Gadi: sbalneav was last seen in #ltsp 5 weeks, 1 day, 3 hours, 9 minutes, and 39 seconds ago: <sbalneav> I actually got an ltsp session going a few months ago using xdm
16:55
<Gadi>
nope
16:55
<bieb>
:)
16:56
<Gadi>
warren: anything Intel Atom should be all the same
16:56
in terms of supported hardware
16:57
as for the vias, I personally always use the binary drivers
16:57
<warren>
Gadi, ok, just install my stuff and "does it boot?" and I'll add you to my list of hardware
16:57
<Gadi>
because the OSS ones still lack support for certain things
16:57
<warren>
Gadi, I have almost zero via here, can't test the video stuff, i'm actually interested to see if I can shoehorn the binary drivers in
16:58
<Gadi>
well, they aren't too good at keeping the binaries current
16:58
:P
16:58
I find I am always shoehorning them in
16:58
lol
16:59
but, at the end of the day, they give you dual monitor support
16:59
while the OSS ones, sadly will not
17:00
<warren>
Gadi, with K12Linux EL6 at least our kernel and X wont be changing much for 7 years, so once I find a working binary driver it wont change.
17:00
Gadi, binary driver has both X and kernel parts?
17:00
<Gadi>
yeah - but the kernel parts are only necessary for drm
17:00
and such
17:00
if they are broken, it still works fine for thin clients
17:01
tho, always nicer to have them working
17:01
<warren>
ooh
17:01
Gadi, OK, I'm very interested in via hardware here...

Question about desktop icons.. We use Codeweavers Crossover Office to give the students access to MS Office (don't ask.. requirement from the school), when we updated CW, the current icons point to the wrong directory, I think boss mis-installed CW.. but we can add shortcuts easily. Is that a chroot update to make them available for all users? Would it be better to use Sabayon? I am trying to find the document I used for original setup 2 yea
17:02
<Gadi>
bieb: is it run as a local app?
17:02
<bieb>
no from server
17:02
<Gadi>
then, no need to update the chroot
17:03
if you made a common .wine (or equivalent), it would mean updating that
17:04
tho, codeweavers uses a common dir, I believe in /opt
17:04
so, nevermind that
17:04
if you are talking about desktop launchers, you can simply replace them in all of the users homedir
17:04
*homedirs
17:05
<bieb>
ohh. the launchers are in the home dirs?
17:05
<Gadi>
no
17:05
not necessarily
17:05
<bieb>
I was thinking they came from the server
17:05
<Gadi>
time out
17:05
do you launch MSOffice from the menu?
17:06
ie, Applications > ....
17:06
<bieb>
they can from the Applications menu.. or from the shortcuts/launchers I put on the desktop.. (you know students are lazy)
17:06
<warren>
Gadi, are you able to contribute at least GX2 here?
17:06

Gadi, is firefox scrolling slow?

Good afternoon! I've been reading a bit about the ikat kiosk exploits, and was wondering if anyone has some pointers for my environment. We use LTSP kiosks that run icewm and firefox. Using the ikat tools, it is possible for users to launch xterm on the kiosk. I tried changing the user's shell to /bin/false, but that wouldn't boot. Curious as to the best route to disable xterm.
17:10
I figure we either need to block access to xterm, or whitelist java applets
17:12
<Gadi>
warren: that's fine, for sure
17:13
I don't know if we ever would have sold any if they couldnt do that much
17:13
:P
17:13
<mistik1>
Gadi: ping
17:13
<Gadi>
of course, we also sold them back in the good old LTSP4 days
17:13
when chroots were simpler
17:13
:)
17:13
<warren>
Gadi, I think I can convince local libraries to accept GX2's, they never have enough desktop computers for browsing the catalog.

17:19
<warren>
Gadi, what is your e-mail address? I'll send you a mailing address
17:19
Gadi, want me to paypal postage? I can write if off as an expense.
17:19
<Gadi>
you can use gadi@ltsp.org, I think
17:19
in fact, let's check it
17:19
:)
17:19
<warren>
hmm, has Ryan52 been around?
17:19
I'd guess that kid has his PhD by now.
17:20
<Gadi>
I haven't used payapl in a million years
17:20
literally - paid for a wheel newly invented
17:20
<jfisher>
gadi: I figured it would have to be something easy like that. Thanks for the tip! :)
17:21
<Gadi>
np - xterm is not critical to any ltsp functions :)
17:21
now, xeyes....

it was prolly all my bad

17:28
<warren>
I returned all of the disklessworkstation clients to them, and now all I have is an atom, one via, one LX
17:29
<Gadi>
thats a thin client treasure trove
17:29
so greedy...
17:29

you're the Smaug of thin-client-dom
17:31
<warren>
Gadi, I do miss you.
17:31
<Gadi>
hehe
17:32
so, small flat rate boxes are only 1 5/8" high
17:32
can't see getting any thin client in there
17:32
I think
17:32
tho, I measure through estimation
17:32
<dberkholz>
they can be bent
17:32
<Gadi>
which is all guesswork
17:32
you have bendable thin clients? :)
17:33
<dberkholz>
as long as you've got room in at least one dimension
17:33artista_frustrad has joined IRC (artista_frustrad!~fernando@187.112.185.67)
17:33
<Gadi>
that would be cool
17:33
<dberkholz>
nah, just shove the thing into a box, as long as there's room to the "left" or "right" as you're pushing it in, and it's not as long as the box, then the top can bend up.

i do that kind of thing with usps boxes and flat-rate envelopes all the time
17:34

hmm... a large envelope may be a good bet, too
17:35
warren, can you write me a script that will figure this out on a Friday?
17:35
<warren>
Gadi, huh?
17:35
<Gadi>
nm
17:36
<warren>
Gadi, medium boxes are surprisngly big
17:36
Gadi, bigger in one dimension than "large"
17:37
<Gadi>
heh, "large" or "large board game box"
17:37
honest - its on their site
17:37
:)
17:37
but, yeah, medium seems to be a better bet
17:38
<warren>
Gadi, there's two mediums!

it aint pretty
19:09
and you need to be an engineer to get it back in

19:10
<bieb>
Gadi: any idea what I need to look at on the desktop shortcuts we were discussing?
19:10
<Gadi>
sure
19:10
let's see...
19:11
for the menu, it can be in a few places
19:11
like /usr/share/applications
19:11
or the users' ~/.config or ~/.local
19:11
(I never remember
19:11
:)
19:12
it's like cascading style sheets, you can never quite remember which one you put it in
19:12
:)
19:12
<bieb>
right
19:12
<Gadi>
anyhow... for the desktop launchers, they should be in your users' ~/Desktop, unless you used Sabayon, in which case you may have put them in the Sabayon profile
19:13
<bieb>
we didnt use Sabayon originally.. we were talking about using it.. but I would rather get everything back to normal since class starts Monday.. I can work on Sabayon in my test setup
19:14
<Gadi>
I hear ya
19:14
it is hard to make a decent sabayon
19:14
and I think many have proven that
19:14
<bieb>
:)
19:17
one other one for you.. when I built the ltsp server.. I used 9.04.. we had an issue and I rebuilt with 10.04.. the only issue I have is the way the home dirs were set.. in 9.04 it was /Home/Johnmarshall/%user% now it is /Home/local/Johnmarshall/%user% which config file has that setting? Some of the users have data in both spots now
