<abeehc_>
i imagine you've set the server to use the proxy to start with? and so the non-localapps work?
00:05
its really hard to guess out of thin air not knowing your distro and desktop environment
00:06
for me i'd start with gnome-network-properties on the server then just hope the localapps inherit that
00:07
otherwise i imagine many apps have to be configured independently
00:07
there are many kinds of proxies i also have no idea if you are talking http proxy or what i just assumed http or socks

<muppis>
Morning atleast. :)
06:02

Awwe... what's wrong muppy? :-D
06:03
<muppis>
Road rage at morning. Getting over it.
06:06
And still struggling with iSCSI.

Of course, is not my exact position.

Of course, else I might come and stalk you. ;>
07:12
I have a friend who lives in Oulu, but that's quite far from you I gather.
07:12
<muppis>
Be my guest. :)
07:13
Well, my wife and kids lived at Oulu last year, so that ain't so far away.
07:14
<Hyperbyte>
580 kilometers according to Google Maps
07:14
... give or take a little.
07:14
<muppis>
Around that. Takes 5 hours with car with no brakes.
07:15
<Hyperbyte>
Of course, living in the Netherlands near Rotterdam, any distance above 50 kilometers is far away.
07:15
<muppis>
:D
07:15
<Hyperbyte>
Care with no brakes sounds really dangerous though
07:15
** Car
07:16
:-D
07:16
<muppis>
I know, that's why I put it that way. I really meant no pauses.
07:16
D:
07:16
<Hyperbyte>
I know what you mean. :P
07:16
<muppis>
Good.
07:17
<Hyperbyte>
You know the difference between breaks and brakes right? =)
07:17
<muppis>
Distance from home to work is 48 km. :)
07:17
Yes. I'm little bit out of caffeine so I make typos more easily.
07:17
<Hyperbyte>
Heh... distance for me is 9 kilometers... although we're moving, so I'm upgrading to 12 kilometers.
07:18
I live in a city next to Rotterdam... work in Rotterdam, like most of the people living in my city.

07:19
<muppis>
That's good.
07:20

Going from my city to Rotterdam during rush hour would take an hour or so. :)
07:20
By car.

hi all
07:46
i have a issue on client booting
07:46
ubuntu logo laoding
07:46
and resume to a blank screen
07:46
and can't conect to client with ssh
07:46
any ideas ?
07:47
<muppis>
Does ctrl-alt-f1 work ?
07:49
<nosedrum>
no
07:51
<muppis>
Remove words quiet and splash from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default and reboot client.
07:51
Replace i386 with amd64, if you use 64 bit clients.
07:53
<nosedrum>
no it's 32 bit client
07:53
the users on phone reboot the client ( i remove quiet and splash)
07:54
no init found try passing init = boot arg
07:54
-> Busy box
07:55
i have try to :
07:56
ltsp-update-image -a i386
07:56
<muppis>
I was suggesting that next to do. :)
07:56
<nosedrum>
add IPAPPEND 3 to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default for possible double dhcp
07:56
but
07:56
/usr/lib/klibc/bin/ipconfig -n eth0
07:56
reveal only ltsp server as dhcp
07:58
i redo a tsp-update-image -a i386 to see
07:59
target filesystem don't have /sbin/init

nosedrum: do you get a busybox shell?
08:02
<nosedrum>
yes !
08:02
<alkisg_web>
ls /root
08:03
That's the root file system, you should see the chroot there
08:03
If it's empty, nbd wasn't mounted
08:04
And some more tests as I'm not monitoring the channel too much:
08:04
ps | grep nbd
08:04
=> see if nbd-client is there
08:04
mount => see if there's an nbd entr
08:04
y
08:04
nbd-client server-ip 2000 /dev/nbd0 ==> try to manually mount the nbd image
08:04
And, on the server:
08:05
ls -l /opt/ltsp/image/i386.img
08:05
grep i386 /etc/inetd.conf
08:05
sudo mount -o loop /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img /mnt
08:05
ls /mnt
08:05
Stuff like that, bbl :)
08:06
<nosedrum>
i can't connect to client
08:06
i tell the user
08:06
wait
08:06* alkisg_web will read the irc logs

<Hyperbyte>
nosedrum, alkisg meant to run these commands on the client, not the server.
08:10
<nosedrum>
i do
08:10
with a user on site
08:10
the first
08:10
ls /root
08:11
-> cow rofs
08:12
<Hyperbyte>
Also, alkisg made a typo. /opt/ltsp/image/i386.img should be /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
08:13
But it exists, else you couldn't mount it.
08:13
<nosedrum>
on server :
08:13
ls -l /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
08:13
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 755212288 2011-09-01 10:07 /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
08:13
sure
08:13
exists
08:14
<Hyperbyte>
What about the rest of the commands alkisg asked you to execute on the client? :)
08:15
<nosedrum>
nbd-client 192.168.96.1 2000 /dev/nbd0 -persist*
08:15
on client
08:16
(sorry for slow but it's a lambda user on phone who make the commands ....)
08:16
(i don't precise it's a production site.... -__-)
08:17
so with ps -ef we can see:
08:17
nbd-client 192.168.96.1 2000 /dev/nbd0 -persist
08:17
on client
08:20alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg)
08:22
<nosedrum>
what can i do ?
08:22
i have try this
08:22
rm /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf
08:22
ltsp-update-kernels
08:23
<muppis>
Why remove conf?
08:23
<alkisg>
nosedrum: try this: sudo ltsp-update-image --force (and -a i386 if you have amd64 server / i386 chroot)
08:23
<nosedrum>
yes i have to put -a i386
08:23
<alkisg>
After it finishes, if your client still doesn't boot, we'll need you to put some stuff in pastebin
08:23
<nosedrum>
ok i'll try with --force
08:24
ok
08:24
<alkisg>
--force has code that updates inetd.conf, updates kernels etc
08:24
Btw which distro version is this?

08:28
<nosedrum>
think it's a possibility ?
08:29
<alkisg>
LTSP uses inetd by default, not xinetd
08:29
<Hyperbyte>
Type 'pidof inetd' on the server
08:29
<alkisg>
Run: aptitude why xinetd
08:30
(LTSP in Ubuntu, I mean)
08:30

Now, do: sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd

<nosedrum>
sorry for franch messages ^^
08:33
<alkisg>
And then: sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove xinetd
08:33
<Hyperbyte>
Actually, installing openbsd-inetd will remove xinetd
08:33
<alkisg>
Now it should only tell you to remove xinetd, not ltsp etc
08:33
Ah ok then
08:33
If they conflict
08:33
<Hyperbyte>
You can't have both, I learned that the hard way. :)
08:34
<alkisg>
$ apt-cache show openbsd-inetd | grep Conflicts
08:34
Conflicts: netkit-inetd
08:34
That doesn't conflict... let me see xinetd...
08:35
<nosedrum>
root@ltsp_a96:/var/log# apt-cache show openbsd-inetd | grep Conflicts
08:35
Conflicts: netkit-inetd
08:35
seems to be the same
08:35
<alkisg>
Anyway, go on with the openbsd-inetd installation
08:35
<nosedrum>
with apt-get purge --auto-remove xinetd before ?
08:35
<alkisg>
If it tells you that it will remove xinetd, go ahead
08:35
No
08:36
First install openbsd-inetd,
08:36
THEN install xinetd, if it's not already removed due to conflicts
08:37
<nosedrum>
seems to be ok

have to regenerate lstp-image before client boot tests ?
08:38
<alkisg>
sudo ltsp-update-image --force
08:38
(-a i386 etc)
08:38
<nosedrum>
sure
08:38
<alkisg>
It's the easiest way to reconfigure inetd
08:41
(11:36:08 πμ) alkisg: THEN install xinetd, if it's not already removed due to conflicts => of course I meant "then remove" :)
08:41

=> blank screnn

<alkisg>
So you're running an 9.04 chroot on a 10.04 server?
08:57
Why?
08:58
<nosedrum>
because i upgrade server
08:58
<alkisg>
It's adviced that you create a new chroot on server upgrades
08:58
<nosedrum>
ok let's go
08:58

OK, do this:

but go
08:59
ok
08:59
<alkisg>
sudo ltsp-build-client -a i386 (and whatever else params you put there)
08:59
<nosedrum>
what params
08:59
?
08:59
just ltsp-build-client -a i386 is ok no ?
08:59

It's ok

Okay, carry on.
10:12
:P
10:12
<nosedrum>
ok
10:12
the thin client
10:13
have two dvi output
10:13
i know we can disabled the second output
10:13
but how
10:13
don't remember
10:14
i just connect to client lstp session with VNC and see the desktop extended on two screen
10:14
<Hyperbyte>
How is the screen connected?
10:14
With a DVI->VGA adapter?
10:14
<nosedrum>
but physicaly there is only one screen connected to first dvi output , the second dvi output not connected
10:14
yes with dvi /vga adaptater
10:14
<Hyperbyte>
And there is no DVI->VGA adapter plugged in to the second port, is there?
10:15
Just an adapter, without a screen, maybe?
10:15
<alkisg>
nosedrum: can you login?
10:15
<nosedrum>
yes !
10:15
<alkisg>
OK, login and run:
10:15
ltsp-localapps xterm
10:15
On the xterm that opens, run:
10:15
lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGSA
10:15
VGA
10:15
Is it an intel card?
10:16
(or, if you have ssh access to the client, or if you already know it's an intel card... etc)
10:16
<nosedrum>
no intel
10:16
ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
10:16
<alkisg>
What's the output of xrandr, if you run that on a normal gnome-terminal?
10:16
(on the client)?
10:17
Basically we need the output names
10:17
LVDS1, VGA1 etc
10:17
<nosedrum>
seems to be 1024x768 x 2
10:18
<alkisg>
If you run `xrandr --output THE_NOT_CONNECTED_OUTPUT --off`, is your resolution fixed?
10:18
If so, you can put it as a kernel setting
10:19
In pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address
10:19
bbl again :)
10:19
The syntax is video=LVDS-1:d
10:19
(: d => disabled)
10:20
<Hyperbyte>
ATI Radeon should turn off one output automatically I think?
10:21
nosedrum, is there a DVI->VGA adapter in the unused DVI port? Adapter without a screen attached?
10:21
<nosedrum>
so
10:21
<Hyperbyte>
Also, what happens when you connect the screen to the other DVI port and reboot? Does it switch to the correct resolution then?
10:22
<nosedrum>
VGA-0 and DVI-1 are detected connected by ltsp
10:22
i put a xrandr --output DVI-1 --off
10:22
=> solve the problem
10:22
so how can i put this à booting ?
10:22
at*
10:22
<Hyperbyte>
^^^
10:24
<nosedrum>
can i modify something in tls.conf
10:24
like:
10:24
[p3_a96]
10:24
LDM_USER_ALLOW=p3,admindsi
10:24
X_MODE_0=1024x768
10:24
<alkisg>
sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
10:24
<nosedrum>
X_OUTPUT_DVI-1=off ????
10:24
lol
10:24
ok
10:25
then ?
10:25
<alkisg>
Beside quiet splash, put: video=DVI-1: d
10:25
without the space
10:25
I put the space before " d" just to prevent the smiley from showing
10:25
Save, reboot. Did it solve your problem?
10:25
<nosedrum>
above or bottom the line ? or on the line aside quiet ?
10:25
<alkisg>
(reboot client)
10:25
On the same line
10:26
quiet splash video=DVI-1:d
10:26
<nosedrum>
:d = disable ?
10:26
<alkisg>
d means disable the output, yes
10:26
It works on intel, but I'm not sure if it works on ati
10:27
<nosedrum>
just save file no update-image ?
10:27
<alkisg>
If it doesn't, you can still do it with lts.conf xrandr commands
10:27
No update-image
10:27
<nosedrum>
save file => rebooot client ?
10:27
<alkisg>
Just save
10:27
<nosedrum>
ok
10:27
<alkisg>
Yes
10:27
<nosedrum>
go tests
10:28

12:35
<TheMatrix30001>
users don't have directories on /i386/home?
12:36
that's on the image
12:36
these are thin clients not fat clients
12:36
<alkisg>
TheMatrix30001: is this about the proxy you were asking yesterday?
12:36
<TheMatrix30001>
yea
12:36
i need to set the system proxy
12:36
cause by default that's what firefox and chrome are using
12:37
<alkisg>
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:"$ROOT/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" --type string --set '/system/proxy/mode' 'manual'
12:37
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:"$ROOT/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" --type bool --set '/system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy' true
12:37
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:"$ROOT/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" --type string --set '/system/http_proxy/host' 'server'
12:37
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:"$ROOT/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" --type int --set '/system/http_proxy/port' 3128
12:37
Something like that works for fat clients
12:37
Localapps shouldn't be different
12:37
<TheMatrix30001>
ok
12:37
let me check
12:37
<alkisg>
Unless gconf isn't running and settings are not applied
12:37
ROOT = your chroot
12:37
Leave 'server' as it is
12:38
Don't change it at all, unless it's not your ltsp server
12:38
(fat clients and localapps know the ltsp server as "server" from their /etc/hosts file)
12:38
<TheMatrix30001>
its not
12:38
the ltsp server isn't running the proxy
12:39
<alkisg>
ok then put the ip there
12:40
!ltsp-update-image
12:40
<ltsp>
alkisg: ltsp-update-image: If you use NBD (e.g. Ubuntu), every time you change something in your chroot (e.g. /opt/ltsp/i386), you need to run ltsp-update-image and reboot the thin clients for the changes to take effect
12:40
<TheMatrix30001>
yea, know that part
12:45
<nosedrum>
how to translate the command " xrandr --output DVI-1 --off " in lts.conf ????
12:46
like X_OUTPUT_DVI-1=OFF ??????????
12:47
<TheMatrix30001>
sudo -i; rm -rf /home/*/.gconf/apps/panel
12:47
oops
12:48
wrong window
12:56
<alkisg>
nosedrum: try this: XRANDR_OUTPUT_0="DVI-1 --off"
12:57
<TheMatrix30001>
alkisg, for the proxy, is it possible to make it use a wpad file?
12:57
<alkisg>
TheMatrix30001: sure, but all this isn't really ltsp related... better ask it in #ubuntu
12:57
<TheMatrix30001>
k
13:01
i actually can't use sabayon can i on ltsp
13:02
can i
13:02
<alkisg>
Why? Did you see that ltsp interferes with sabayon somehow?
13:02
<nosedrum>
alkisg: YOU ROX ! ;)
13:02
thx again
13:02
<TheMatrix30001>
sabayon writes the server, not the /opt/ltsp/i386
13:03
<alkisg>
nosedrum: you're welcome
13:03
<TheMatrix30001>
ah, it will work, i just have to use sabayon for server apps, not for localapps
13:04
<alkisg>
Right. For localapps you'll need some more work, to copy the settings etc

how do i fix it, i thought if I logged out and deleted the entire /home/user directory

it would regenerate the file

No need to update anything after modifying lts.conf
13:28

ah, k
13:29
hm, still having an issue.
13:30
it's so strange. I cannot ping by hostname on the clients, however, if I plug in my laptop to the SAME network the clients are plugged into (same switch) I'm fine.
13:30
<alkisg>
well, get a shell on the client and see what goes on
13:30
ltsp-localapps xterm

are you on a .local domain?

yes

13:33
pscheie: I plan to :)
13:33
<alkisg>
When you did "cat /etc/resolv.conf", did you do that on the *local* terminal, or that was your server's resolv.conf?
13:33
<pscheie>
Cool!
13:33
<alkisg>
roasted: Also, see if you can ping with ip
13:33
<roasted>
Gadi, the gateway is different for each NIC because each NIC is on a different IP segment
13:34
servers are .2, gateways are .1
13:34
10.52.17.1, 10.52.17.2
13:34
10.52.18.1, 10.52.18.2

alkisg, you just earned yourself a keg my friend.
13:43

Yeah, that's what we're trying to tell you all this time :)

Because this kind of error:
13:43
the java command requires a mounted proc fs (/proc).
13:43
<roasted>
alkisg, I hadn't known that LTS and resolv are directly affiliated like that.
13:43
I thought they maybe both had to be set up to "talk" properly
13:43
my bad... let me fire up this server though quick and see what its setup was.
13:43

It's possible that /proc needs to be mounted, yes

alkisg, that's not weird (the mobile browser ignoring non-scrolling)
14:52
I've set the header as a fixed page element, meaning it will always stay in the same position in the window
14:53
Your mobile browser doesn't handle webpages the same, it treats them as documents and renders them as once... lots of other things about positioning are ignored too.
14:53

When running Google Chrome under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.
14:55
<Hyperbyte>
Thanks. :)
14:55

Google Chrome i guess doesn't support ltsp
14:55

14:56
<TheMatrix3000>
nope

It has nothing to do with Google Chrome not supporting LTSP.

<alkisg>
(05:53:22 μμ) Hyperbyte: Your mobile browser doesn't handle webpages the same, it treats them as documents and renders them as once... lots of other things about positioning are ignored too. ==> nah, I think it just ignores the fixed elements oon purpose, because of the small screen space.
14:56
Other than that, all other elements and javascript work as usual
14:57
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, my point exactly. It renders pages differently on purpose.
14:57

TheMatrix3000, LTSP clients are stripped-down versions of full Linux installations.
14:57
<TheMatrix3000>
yes
14:57
<Hyperbyte>
You're obviously missing something that Google Chrome wants.
14:58
<TheMatrix3000>
hmm
14:58
wonder what it is
14:58
<Hyperbyte>
Correct statement would be that Google Chrome's packages are missing some dependancies
14:58
<TheMatrix3000>
-f will install all then right?
14:58
<Hyperbyte>
Or, that Google Chrome doesn't work on LTSP as localapp out-of-thebox
14:58
But saying Google Chrome doesn't support LTSP is a bit ridiculous. :)
14:58

firefox works

as localapp?

15:00
<TheMatrix3000>
gconf is working
15:00
<tarzeau>
localapp would be much slower
15:00
<TheMatrix3000>
proxy settings work under firefox
15:00
<tarzeau>
what clients do you have?
15:00
firefox is much slower, and crashes often (with nfs homes, and remote)
15:00
<TheMatrix3000>
I have 70 1.8Ghz minimum with 2GB ram
15:00
<tarzeau>
and that's what you call thin client?
15:00
<TheMatrix3000>
my server is a Quad Dual Core Xeon
15:01
8GB RAM
15:01
so 8 cores, 8gb ram
15:01
using a RAID 10 NFS Server with 1TB
15:01
<tarzeau>
we got about the same amount clients, but more like 500/1600 mhz and 512/1024 mb memory
15:01
<TheMatrix3000>
for /home directories
15:01
on a gigabit ethernet
15:01
<tarzeau>
two servers load balanced in ldm each with 12 and 16 gb memory and 4 and 8 cores
15:02
<TheMatrix3000>
ha, nice
15:02
<tarzeau>
each machine 2-5 tb diskspace i think
15:02
<TheMatrix3000>
if i had more powerful servers, then i'd do less localapps
15:02
<tarzeau>
our users have separate machines to run jobs (like two workstations with 16+48 cores, 128 gb memory)
15:02
TheMatrix3000: how's your server not powerful enough?
15:03

but we have two ltsp servers, and it's not like all our users look flash stuff all the time at the same time
15:06
most just write latex in emacs, and render it, read pdf documents, print stuff
15:06
read and answer emails
15:07
run oneliners in mathematica, maple, idl, matlab etc
15:07
<TheMatrix3000>
so you are saying just run chrome on the server
15:08
in your personal opinion
15:08

yes

i plan on doing LTSP-Cluster soon so
15:10

why not stuff disks on the local things, and drop the ltsp part? :)

centralized management
15:10
on ltsp is so nice

is it?

and replacing PC's is a cake
15:10
yes
15:11
<tarzeau>
we have centralized managed workstations (with local disks)
15:11
<alkisg>
Why not completely fat clients, instead of localapps?
15:11
<tarzeau>
it's so nice!
15:11

alkisg: fatclients: You may find some info about the Ubuntu/LTSP implementation of fat clients at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
15:12
<alkisg>
You don't need hard drives...
15:12
<TheMatrix3000>
alkisg, we talked about fat clients before
15:12
<alkisg>
Over gigabit fatclients are actually faster than standalone clients
15:12
<TheMatrix3000>
haha
15:12
<alkisg>
Boot time = 12 seconds vs 50 seconds, on the same lab
15:12
ok
15:13
<TheMatrix3000>
so i can still modify chroot
15:14
<alkisg>
?
15:14
<TheMatrix3000>
when i restart the fat client it downloads the image right
15:14
doesn't need a hard drive?
15:15
<alkisg>
No
15:15
Fat clients are like localapps
15:15
It's just that everything is a localapp
15:15
So sabayon actually works, gconf works, file associations work etc
15:15
It's much easier to manage imho
15:15
<TheMatrix3000>
so i can use sabayon on the server
15:15
and it will affect all of the clients as well
15:16
<alkisg>
Not exactly. You install sabayon in the chroot.
15:16
<TheMatrix3000>
or do i have to an ltsp-update-image --fat-client
15:16
<alkisg>
You don't even need X on the server with fat clients
15:17
<TheMatrix3000>
so how do i make a sabayon config or gconf setting stick to all the fat clients at once
15:17
<alkisg>
You work directly in the chroot, however you want
15:17
<TheMatrix3000>
but when i restart a client it will redownload the chroot
15:18
<alkisg>
The chroot is a networked disk. It works like a usb disk. Only needed sectors are fetched, not all of it is downloaded at once
15:18
So you can have e.g. a 5 gb chroot, and boot a 512mb ram client with it
15:19
<TheMatrix3000>
ah, that explains why i see a download of 70mbps when someone opens firefox
15:19
lol
15:19staffencasa has joined IRC (staffencasa!~staffenca@128-193-149-224.oregonstate.edu)
15:19
<TheMatrix3000>
btw, backbone is gigabit
15:19
each client has their own 10/100
15:20
<alkisg>
Bandwidth-wise, a hard disk is faster than a 100mbps network
15:20
But in the server most of the chroot is cached in ram
15:20
So seek time is basically zero
15:20
That's why it's so much faster than local installations
15:21
<TheMatrix3000>
so if i have 1gb ram on a fat client i am fine
15:21
<alkisg>
Yup
15:21
It's the same as now, where you tried a localapps firefox
15:21
<TheMatrix3000>
and i can edit the chroot without having to do ltsp-update-image
15:22
<alkisg>
Fat clients have the same performance as localapps, more or less
15:22
See the wiki page for a how to
15:22
<TheMatrix3000>
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
15:22
im already reading it
15:24
<alkisg>
Backup your whole /opt/ltsp dir before trying fat clients, so that you can revert with a simple mv
15:25
<TheMatrix3000>
man
15:25
lol
15:26
can you do ltsp-cluster with fat clients
15:26
<alkisg>
Cluster is for server load balancing, right?
15:26
<TheMatrix3000>
eh, more redundancy
15:26
<alkisg>
I don't think you'd ever need that with fat clients
15:26
<TheMatrix3000>
being able to turn off a client and turn it on if it stops working
15:26
<alkisg>
You can do load balancing and redudancy at the dhcp level, with multiple nbd servers in your network
15:27
<TheMatrix3000>
ubuntu doesn't do the dhcp
15:27
because we have multiple subnets
15:27
<alkisg>
Any pc with 1gb ram will do just fine for a fat client server
15:27
<TheMatrix3000>
using the same ltsp server
15:27
<alkisg>
So it's very easy to have multiple servers for redundancy
15:29
<TheMatrix3000>
also, the reason why we use localapps
15:29
is often times our people will have 15+ tabs open
15:29
with google documents that are huge spreadsheets
15:30
<alkisg>
localapps are the same as fat clients, so you'll notice no difference in the number of tabs etc
15:30
<TheMatrix3000>
like 30 sheets and a couple hundred rows
15:30
ok
15:30
but to update the fat clients i need to do the chroot update
15:30
then just restart the fat clients
15:30
<alkisg>
To create a new chroot, see the wiki page
15:30
<TheMatrix3000>
and they are good?
15:33
<alkisg>
One difference between localapps and fat clients is that when you click on a link that contains a spreadsheet, with fat clients it will open on a local openoffice, while with localapps you need to enable remoteapps and configure ltsp-open to open it on the server etc, it's more tricky
15:33
<TheMatrix3000>
ah ok
15:33
also if the ltsp server crashes the thin clients still run?
15:33
<alkisg>
If you boot a pc with an ubuntu live stick, and remove the stick, does it still work?
15:34
<TheMatrix3000>
never tried it
15:34
<alkisg>
If you boot a pc, and remove its disk, does it still work?
15:34
(the answer is no, since it will have no access to its disk)
15:34
(in all 3 cases)

15:40
<alkisg>
There are methods to have nbd proxy servers (like xnbd) which provide even more load balancing + redundandy, and allow the ltsp server to be powered off, while the clients still work
15:40
But the proxy will need to be online

<TheMatrix3000>
so 1gb ram on a p3 1ghz will work fine as a fat client
16:07
and be faster than it is now
16:08
<alkisg>
Fat clients are like local installations
16:08
So imagine that you inserted a local disk on that machine, and installed ubuntu on it
16:08
<TheMatrix3000>
and ran it from the ram and not the hd
16:08
<alkisg>
No, from the hard disk
16:08
If that will be faster than what you have now, then fat clients will also be faster
16:09
If not, nope
16:09
<TheMatrix3000>
but i dont have hard drives
16:09
<alkisg>
That's why I said "imagine"
16:09
<TheMatrix3000>
nor will i be able to order them
16:09
ha
16:09
ok
16:09
<alkisg>
Fat clients are as fast as local installations, more or less
16:10
So, a p3 1 Ghz will work, but won't be very fast with a recent ubuntu/gnome. It'll be faster with e.g. a debian/lxde.
16:10
<TheMatrix3000>
Ubuntu Desktop Edition 1 GHz x86 processor (Pentium 4 or better) 512 MiB of system memory (RAM)
16:10
<alkisg>
And a core 2 duo / 2 GB RAM will be very fast.
16:10
Try with a live usb stick
16:11
Or an external usb disk
16:11
You'll get an idea of how fast it will be..

From localapps? Usually, yes. From thin clients? Certainly not.
16:48
<TheMatrix3000>
well since i use thin clients and localapps it would be easier
16:49
and it would make my chrome setup actually work and use the proxy right?
16:49
and applications should work or run better
16:49
because they are running from the local machine and not over the network and the server

alkisg, did you get my last reply?
18:28
<alkisg>
TheMatrix3000: I think it would take less time to actually create a fat chroot and test for yourself, than to try answer so many questions. :)

20:30* _UsUrPeR_ tips his hat

has anybody tried out localapps in 11.10 yet?
20:30
I just put in a bug - 839042
20:30* vagrantc is still using 6.0
20:30
<_UsUrPeR_>
it seems that masquerading does not work properly as it had in 11.04
20:30
<john_s>
vagrantc: I've been trying to figure this out off and on since march. Running Ubuntu 10.04
20:31
<vagrantc>
john_s: there are many clever folks here, but they may not knkow the details of your problem enough to solve
20:32
john_s: with localapps, if you figure out the exact steps needed on a standalone box, then we can maybe figure out how to replicate those steps for localapps

almost done building my new fat client

i guess its so much easier to build either thin clients or fat clients
21:00
not thin clients with localapps

gadi: Yes I can launch the ibus stuff via local apps, however the ipus widget reports "no input window" when I click on it. Which I take to mean that it doesn't "know" about the local firefox running in it's environment
21:04
<alkisg>
TheMatrix3000: If it works on thin for you, it'll work for fat too, and you'll even be able to control the login screen
21:05
<TheMatrix3000>
alkisg: i have never been able to get it working on the thin
21:05
<alkisg>
Decide what best suits you first, and see about italc later. It doesn't matter much, thin or fat, for italc.
21:06
<Gadi>
john_s: the ibus widget runs on the server and will only know about apps connected to the server dbus
21:06
(ibus uses dbus)
21:06
you would need to launch a localapps version of the widget

booting up the fat client now
21:44
alkisg: can I use Ubuntu Software Center from a FatClient to update the image
21:45
ha nope
21:45
<alkisg>
TheMatrix3000: no. I'd like to make the ltsp chroot bootable with vbox one day though, that would allow someone to use graphical programs to customize his chroot
21:46
You might have some success with read/write nfs or nbd, but I haven't tried it

ha nice
21:52
ok
21:53
to update a fat client image i do a ltsp-update-image -a i386 -b fat-i386
21:53
right
21:53
<alkisg>
What is that -b?
21:53
<TheMatrix3000>
base
21:53
i have 2 images
21:53
<alkisg>
No, -a fat-i386
21:53
<TheMatrix3000>
one is thin client
21:53
oh ok
21:54
<alkisg>
You can use the fat chroot to boot thin clients, or even thin clients with localapps
21:54
You don't need many chroots (except for testing)
21:54
Just specify LTSP_FATCLIENT=False in lts.conf
21:54
<TheMatrix3000>
how does the thin client know its not a fat client then?
21:54
oh
21:55
ha, the thin client information works too
21:55
rofl
21:55
<alkisg>
What are your current fat client specs? CPU/RAM?
21:55
<TheMatrix3000>
ha, it tells me to use ltsp cluster control
21:56
its in a vm right now
21:56
Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz
21:56
cause that's what my pc is
21:56

Ah, so it should be going fast

yea
21:56
very
21:56
im going to limit it here in a sec

do i do that on the ltsp server, or while chrooted in the fat client
22:10

Erm, when you're working at a fat client, you're not chrooted

how do i get up a terminal session

<alkisg>
TheMatrix3000: you run that command in a normal session
22:18
Where you're experiencing the probelm
22:18
problem
22:18
You open gnome-terminal normally, and run that command normally
22:19
No special terminal sessions involved...
22:19
Ah you mean how to get a terminal without the panels :D
22:19
Press alt+ctrl+t
22:19
Or, alt+f2 and write gnome-terminal
22:19
Or right click on the desktop and create a launcher
22:19
