<bakytn>
hey there!
04:26
Guys, is there any good resources about seperating home directories (storing them in NFS)
04:40
I am also getting Invalid Card Number. Can you tell me is it related to video? (both video and audio work fine)
05:31
<muppis>
Invalid card number is related to audio, as far as I know, but you can ignore it.
05:34
If you want give more diskspace than you can provide from server to user, then theres is point to separate homes to nfs, but you can do it more easier to mount that nfs directly to server and leave ltsp's own mountings as is.
05:44
<bakytn>
muppis, thank you!
05:44
playing with local apps. Very cool.
05:45
I am now having another issue with DNS servers. How can I change contents of thin client's /etc/resolv.conf
05:46
I edited /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf but it's still the same (surely I run ltsp-update-image -a i386 too)
05:46
where else it can be set?
05:48
<muppis>
In lts.conf
05:48
DNS_SERVER = ...
05:49
<bakytn>
can I set like this: DNS_SERVER = "IP1, IP2" etc?
05:50leio_ has joined IRC (leio_!~leio@gentoo/developer/leio)
05:51
<muppis>
I'm not sure can you set more than one at time, but yes, kins like that.
05:51
<bakytn>
will report in a minte with results
05:52
in ltsp-localapps xterm I can't sudo?
05:53
it's asking me for my password but it's not working
05:53leio has left IRC (leio!~leio@gentoo/developer/leio, Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
05:53
<bakytn>
(it's good actually)
05:54
<muppis>
There's no users in system or in sudoers -file, that's why it doesn't work by default.
05:54
Read: in client system.
05:54
<bakytn>
...true
05:55
but where it gets passwords from?
05:55
it's asking for a password and gets from somewhere right?
05:55
not from a servers /etc/passwd?
05:56
<muppis>
It looks up local /etc/shadow and in name of security, it acts like it finds some even it doesn't exist.
05:58
<bakytn>
nice
05:58
ok
05:59
muppis, seems like DNS_SERVER worked but shouldn't hvae used commas as it's placing nameserver IP, <LN> nameserver IP2 etc.
05:59
<muppis>
So, if want to work with some users, like your own, just copy your line from servers shadow to clients shadow and add yourserlf also to clients sudoer file, it will start working.
06:00
<bakytn>
muppis, super!
06:01
I wonder why local apps take much longer to start than server apps
06:01
<muppis>
It first load binary and related files from server.
06:03
It does load imagefile only in demand, not whole bunch at once.

Hello! Were you able to get webcam working? It's recognized by the thin client and really works. However from the desktop it's not working. For example I tried to install "skype" as a local app hoping that it would find the webcam and work but it's not recognizing it
08:23
is it possbile to symlink from thin clients local /dev to server's /dev :D
08:50
according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSPLocalAppSetup it could work...I exactly have "cheese" but it doesn't recognize my webcam, interesting

bakytn, is your cam in client or in server ?
09:35
<bakytn>
my camera is in client
09:36
if I use streamer in local xterm it takes a shot! I mean it works...but ltsp-localapps cheese can't see it for some reasons, the same with skype
09:38
<muppis>
There cam be v4l vs. v4l2 issue. Try installing flash-cam, it makes v4l compatible virtual device from v4l2 device. V4L2 is used nowadays, but some software just do not follow
09:39
Packages name is flashcam

guys, please help....can you use RDP and normal LDP at the same time? I mean say have RDP on SCREEN_06 and LDM on normal 07. If I enable RDP on 06 (or other) LDM is not working!

Back from Norway. :)

Man that was nice.
10:05
<bakytn>
cool
10:07
<Hyperbyte>
Try SCREEN_06=rdesktop -and- SCREEN_07=ldm
10:07
Then you should be able to switch with alt+f6 and alt+f7
10:07
<bakytn>
no...not working I did it..
10:08
SCREEN_07 is showing Starting LTSP client and stuck
10:09
<Hyperbyte>
Use LDM_DEBUG=True
10:10
And see /var/log/ldm.log on the client
10:10
<bakytn>
ok
10:19
ok...I resolved this...I just had to set both screens explicitly...like SCREEN_06 and SCREEN_07..I thought that ommitting SCREEN_07 leads to set 07 to LDM by default. Sorry.
10:20
so I set only SCREEN_06 but didn't set SCREEN_07 and therefore had problems
10:20
<Hyperbyte>
12:07 <Hyperbyte> Try SCREEN_06=rdesktop -and- SCREEN_07=ldm
10:20
12:07 <bakytn> no...not working I did it..
10:20
.... ?
10:21
This is exactly what I just told you to do, and you said it didn't work? =)
10:23
<bakytn>
yes.
10:23
sorry.

I'm just reading from the page
11:07
"BROKEN - MUST FIX"
11:07
"Status of K12Linux EL6"
11:07
if K12Linux EL6 is the same as F15
11:08
(I dont know anything about fedora)
11:25
<bobapple>
it is working with f13, just f15 makes problems, i think it's the systemd
11:25
thank you Appiah
11:31

guys, how are you administering LTSP users? Is there anything like radmin (remote viewing of the desktop) ?

bobapple fedora: LTSP for Fedora is maintained by the K12Linux project. Currently support only goes as far as Fedora 12. An LTSP version for RedHat EL6 and possibly Fedora 14 is in development. https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/.
12:13
<bobapple>
thanks Hyperbyte, I'm trying it anyway to use it with F15, will see the result :)
12:14
<Hyperbyte>
Basically, Warren Togami (who is the one who maintains the Fedora LTSP implementation) has stated that he'll never make an LTSP for Fedora 15 because of incompatibility issues, arising from Gnome 3 and certain kernel features that are dropped with Fedora 15
12:14
You can try, but it will be a waste of your time.
12:14
Warren Togami does have a beta version of LTSP for Fedora 14, he's ready to release it in the coming weeks I think, if he hasn't already (been absent for a weekend)
12:15
He has done lots of hacking and modifying in both the LTSP source code and Fedora packages to get things working for Fedora 14.
12:16
I don't want to discourage you too much, but unless you're a Linux hacker wizard, you're not going to succeed getting it to run smoothly with Fedora 15.

12:17
<Hyperbyte>
And if you think I'm biased: I'm a long-time Fedora fan, used it since version 1... but for my LTSP server I switched to Ubuntu, because I couldn't get the desired results with even Fedora 13. This is before Warren's new beta F14 version of course, so Fedora 14 would probably work now.
12:18
<bobapple>
ok thats very clear, thanks for that
12:18
is there any release date for fedora 14?
12:18
<Hyperbyte>
No, but you can subscribe to the k12linux list for updates.
12:19
I'm subscribed there as well.. let me check the latest
12:20
Been to Norway for a long weekend, so I'm not up to date at the moment. :)
12:20
<bobapple>
that's ok, i was just asking
12:20
<Hyperbyte>
Currently he's in the documentation stage.
12:21
<bobapple>
because i need to decide now if i wait for fedora 14 release, change to ubuntu, or something else
12:21
<Hyperbyte>
I think it's gonna be soon when he release a public beta, rather than closed.
12:21
Well, technically, if the Fedora 14 beta works as promised, then you should be OK with that for now.
12:22
Fedora 14 is going 'end of life' soon though, so no more updates.

12:23
<Hyperbyte>
If you're only familiar with Fedora, switching to Ubuntu will take some getting used to. On the other hand, Ubuntu does have the strongest LTSP community and support.
12:28
Still, you know, you can find LTSP Fedora 14 help here. I could probably help you a little. You could also launch questions on the k12linux mailing list... so there is Fedora support as well.
12:28
I guess you have a mind to make up. =)
12:39
<bobapple>
am i right that there is already a closed beta of the fedora 14 release?

<pmatulis>
how do i mount a samba share upon client login? ideally getting an icon on the desktop
13:07
<Hyperbyte>
pmatulis, look at CIFS. This is how you can mount Samba shares in Linux.
13:08
<pmatulis>
Hyperbyte: that's fine, but how to automate it?
13:08
<Hyperbyte>
It's a different share for every user?
13:08
<pmatulis>
Hyperbyte: yes
13:09
Hyperbyte: but if it wasn't, how would i do it?
13:09
<Hyperbyte>
If it wasn't, I would just mount it via /etc/fstab and make a shortcut on everyone's desktop
13:09
Else, you can use autofs + cifs, or write some script that runs on client login... perhaps by making a .desktop file calling it, in /etc/xdg/autostart
13:10
<pmatulis>
Hyperbyte: modify client chroot ya?
13:12
<Hyperbyte>
No, this you would all do on server.
13:12
In fact, it's not LTSP related. :)
13:15
<pmatulis>
Hyperbyte: you said "write some script that runs on client login". sounds ltsp-related
13:17
<Hyperbyte>
Well let's call it 'user login'
13:17
Then it suddenly doesn't sound LTSP related. :)
13:20
<bobapple>
pmatulis: you can use pam_mount (even if it isn't the same share for every user)
13:21
<pmatulis>
bobapple: i'm thinking keeping the share permanently mounted and then doing something when the client logs in that creates an icon/link to it
13:22
<bobapple>
then fstab and a login script is your friend, as Hyperbyte said :)
13:23
<pmatulis>
bobapple: yeah, 'login script' is vague
13:24
<bobapple>
put a line like "/usr/local/bin/my_login_script" into ~/.profile for every user
13:24
in that script you can check if the desctop icon already exists, if not create it
13:26
<Hyperbyte>
bobapple, I think doing that via /etc/xdg/autostart is much better.
13:27
<bobapple>
if it really is for every user, your right, but with .profile you have a small control over users who should not get the icons
13:29
<Hyperbyte>
And users can disable them themselves, or accidentally delete the file
13:29
Also, it'll run on non-graphical logins, and I think it -might- be executed for every terminal the user opens as well
13:30
<Gremble>
hey all
13:30
anyone having trouble with flash and sound on the clients?
13:30
it used to work but now doesn't after upgrade
13:30
there must be some good docs on this surely?
13:31
<TheMatrix3000>
what should i put in the lts.conf file for chrome to run as local app
13:31
<bobapple>
.profile does not have the same behaviour as .bashrc, it will just execute on the first login, but an manipulation by the user itself is imaginable
13:31
<TheMatrix3000>
using "chrome" didn't work, should I use "google-chrome"
13:32
<bobapple>
TheMatrix3000: have a look at /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/applications and put the string in front of ".desktop"
13:32
if it is google-chrome.desktop you have to use "google-chrome"
13:33
<TheMatrix3000>
!lts.cofn
13:33
<ltsp>
TheMatrix3000: I do not know about 'lts.cofn', but I do know about these similar topics: 'lts.conf'

anyone here know how or what to put in as LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS = what? for google chrome
13:40
<Hyperbyte>
TheMatrix3000, do you have bobapple on ignore by any chance?
13:41
<TheMatrix3000>
yea, oops wonder how that happend
13:42
<Hyperbyte>
15:32 <bobapple> TheMatrix3000: have a look at /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/applications and put the string in front of ".desktop"
13:42
15:32 <bobapple> if it is google-chrome.desktop you have to use "google-chrome"
13:42
<TheMatrix3000>
it's not in there
13:42
should i add it into there
13:44

TheMatrix3000 install-localapp: To install an application locally on the client, in the chroot environment, use this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GuiInstallLocalApp For non-graphical installations, you can skip steps 1 and 2..
13:44
<TheMatrix3000>
yea, iim working on it
13:44
<Hyperbyte>
If you want to run Chrome as a localapp on the client, you'll have to install it in the client chroot.
13:45
<TheMatrix3000>
i already have it installed
13:45
http://pastebin.com/xwfjgMQp
13:46
should i just do a cp /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

There is no /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop ?
13:47
<TheMatrix3000>
nope
13:48
<Hyperbyte>
You didn't by any chance get any errors during install, which you completely chose to ignore? :)
13:48
<TheMatrix3000>
but it is installed as a localapp
13:48
nope
13:48
no install errors
13:48
<Hyperbyte>
Then there should be a .desktop file I think. You can try the copy I guess?

That is the error I asked about earlier, which you said didn't appear, which means Chrome couldn't create a .desktop menu icon.
13:58
:)
13:59
<TheMatrix3000>
well i just did a purge
13:59
and a reinstall
13:59
and that's the error i got
14:00
so how do I fix that
14:00
<Hyperbyte>
If manually copying the .desktop file didn't work, no idea.
14:00
<TheMatrix3000>
oh let me try with the cp
14:00
and then see
14:01
i didn't fully go through with it
14:03
wth
14:03
ok
14:03
i need to find the internet menu items
14:03

if nothing helps you can create your own icon
14:05
<TheMatrix3000>
and what should the link in the icon be
14:05
could i manually do a ltsp-localapps chrome?
14:05
<bobapple>
have a look into other, already existing icons, to see how it is made
14:06
you can download an .png image from the internet and put it into /usr/share/icons
14:06
then use the name of this icon in your .desktop file
14:06
and the execution command
14:07
[Desktop Entry]
14:07
Name=Google Chrome
14:07
Comment=Google Chrome Browser

any idea on my flash plugin sound issue anyone?
14:48
<mgariepy>
Gremble, wath is your flash issue ?
14:48
<Gremble>
no sound on clients
14:49
we used to do this through the extrasound library
14:49
but it doesn't work with recent plugin versions
14:49
<mgariepy>
are you running it on the thin client as a localapps or on the server ?
14:49
<Gremble>
server
14:49
<Hyperbyte>
TheMatrix3000, ever heard of Gnome watchdog? It can kill processes of logged out users.
14:50
<Gremble>
so we need to re-direct sound through to the clients pulseaudio somehow mgariepy
14:50
<andygraybeal>
Hyperbyte, yea, scythe :)
14:50
<mgariepy>
is sound working for other apps?
14:50
<andygraybeal>
hi TheMatrix3000!!
14:50
<Gremble>
yes mgariepy
14:55
and I've followed the alsa redirect instructions in /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/README.Debian.sound
14:55
<TheMatrix3000>
yea, i have
14:56
but the users werent logged out Hyperbyte
14:56
its just chrome creating a new instance each tab i think
14:56
we have usually 50 users connected to our server at any second
14:56
only about 6 use chrome
14:56
but its all good now

I am trying to come up with a way to, from the server, determine client hardware and either A) allow lts.conf LOCALAPPS = "true/false" or B) Run a wrapper script from the server that will check hardware prior to running programs.
18:18
for option B: I was thinking something like "hardware=`ltsp-localapps inventory |grep PROCESSOR|cut "blah" -f 4`" and "If $hardware = "xyz" then ltsp-localapps firefox; else firefox"
18:18
can anybody give me a succinct way of doing that? Is option B even feasible?

Well, Unity 3d forces to Classic if you don't have the graphics
20:25
but you can run 2d if you install it
20:25
but when I installed it the graphics on thin clients were messed up
20:25
like the side bar wouldn't disapear etc
20:26
<alkisg>
I haven't worked with unity much, but personally I don't think it's better than the classic gnome desktop yet, so I wouldn't use it on production
20:27
<TheMatrix3000>
ah, true
20:27
i just removed it and went back to classic
20:27
as it's faster still
20:28
<alkisg>
Also I think unity-2d was too ...beta in 11.04, i'm hearing that it's better now on oneiric
20:29
I don't really like its interface though, it seems to me that they took out the well structured menus and gave us a chaotic, android-like interface, where one cannot locate the apps that he wants to run
20:29
<TheMatrix3000>
well im on 11.04
20:29
yep, mac+android = sucks at life
