| 08:27 | <markit> hi alkisg ... I've not heard anything anymore about you, ltsp andn KDE ... :)
| |
| 08:40 | <alkisg> Hi markit, I was waiting to find you online as there have been problems :D
| |
| 08:40 | When we were talking the other day and I was doing some benchmarks, I didn't realize that sshfs failed and /home was actually local to the client
| |
| 08:40 | So the 150mb of traffic was nbd traffic, not /home related traffic
| |
| 08:41 | KDE somehow managed to create stuff inside /home/username *locally*, bypassing even the sshfs mount, so on the next login ltsp refused to use sshfs and assumed a local home
| |
| 08:42 | So anyway disabling nepomuk made that go away, and the next benchmarks were valid, but disappointing:
| |
| 08:42 | 150 mb of nbd traffic + 450 mb of /home traffic
| |
| 08:42 | That's with the cache working properly, but I didn't switch to sqlite
| |
| 08:43 | So I'd say that KDE doesn't really work with networked /home, they need to look into this
| |
| 08:48 | <markit> alkisg: I'm at work now, hope to find you after dinner and read carefully what you said here
| |
| 08:48 | :)
| |
| 08:51 | urgh... I think we will nave solve, there is the need of knowledge about how ltsp work, that kde devs don't have
| |
| 08:51 | <alkisg> markit: no
| |
| 08:51 | Just tell them to use NFS home
| |
| 08:51 | Nothing related to ltsp
| |
| 08:51 | Or even local home
| |
| 08:52 | <markit> "local home"?
| |
| 08:52 | <alkisg> Drop local cache and measure that it needs 700mb for just login
| |
| 08:52 | Yes, any normal kde installation
| |
| 08:52 | KDE needs to read 700mb from the disk to login
| |
| 08:52 | As simple as that
| |
| 08:52 | <markit> how do you measure it?
| |
| 08:52 | <alkisg> drop existing caches and run iotop or something
| |
| 08:52 | <markit> (because my "local" test were far less)
| |
| 08:52 | <alkisg> echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches etc
| |
| 08:53 | <markit> ah, GNU/Linux caches and not /var/tmp/kdecache you mean?
| |
| 08:53 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 08:53 | <markit> and iftop gives you the total I/O, while iotop only the "instant" one
| |
| 08:53 | <alkisg> Some other disk utility then
| |
| 08:54 | <markit> ok, I will google for that
| |
| 08:54 | <alkisg> Or do it from an nbd disk, or from a virtualbox disk, or whatever
| |
| 08:54 | <markit> :)
| |
| 08:54 | thanks a lot

| 09:20 | <prem_> hi all
| |
| 09:21 | bauerski has joined IRC (bauerski!~witekb@frodo.psp.opole.pl) | |
| 09:21 | <prem_> does a ltsp image setup in amd64 system will work?
| |
| 09:23 | i have a working amd64 debian image + i386 ltsp server combination
| |
| 09:23 | am able to login and see the desktop.,but amd64 debian image + amd64 ltsp server did not show me any desktop
| |
| 09:24 | it accepts the login username and password ., but shows only a rotating cursor
| |
| 09:27 | lmk has joined IRC (lmk!~lm@91-145-87-162.bb.dnainternet.fi) | |
| 09:37 | <Hyperbyte> prem_, why do you have an i386 server? Does your server not support amd64?
| |
| 09:37 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, my host machine is amd64 server only
| |
| 09:38 | on that i tried setting up amd64 ltsp server ., but its not login inside
| |
| 09:38 | but setting up i386 ltsp client , successfully logs into the machine
| |
| 09:39 | <Hyperbyte> I'm confused. You have one working setup, and one not working. Let's forget about the working one, and focus on the one that isn't.
| |
| 09:40 | What distro/version/architecture is installed on the server machine? And what architecture did you specify when building the LTSP image?
| |
| 09:40 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, i have debian squeeze amd64 installed and setup "ltsp-build-client --arch i386" and is working
| |
| 09:41 | debian squeeze amd64 installed and setup "ltsp-build-client --arch amd64" is not working
| |
| 09:41 | am getting the ldm screen , its accepting the login crediantials., but not displaying the screen
| |
| 09:41 | <Hyperbyte> Are all your clients amd64's too?
| |
| 09:42 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, the hardware ?
| |
| 09:43 | <Hyperbyte> Yes? Do all your clients have 64-bit processors?
| |
| 09:43 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, no
| |
| 09:43 | i dont think so Hyperbyte
| |
| 09:43 | does that matter
| |
| 09:43 | i thought amd64 will work on i386 processor also
| |
| 09:44 | isnt it Hyperbyte
| |
| 09:51 | <Hyperbyte> No, you cannot run 64-bit software on a 32-bit processor.
| |
| 09:51 | You can run 32-bit software on a 64-bit processor, but not vice-versa.
| |
| 09:52 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, but i have installed debian i386 OS on a amd processor
| |
| 09:52 | and was working
| |
| 09:52 | <Hyperbyte> However, if your clients are not 64-bit, you shouldn't even be able to load a 64-bit kernel. The fact that it comes to a login prompt, means either your image isn't properly 64-bit, or the clients are in fact 64-bit.
| |
| 09:52 | <prem_> till now i have not faced any such issue
| |
| 09:52 | <Hyperbyte> prem_, like I said - you can run a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit kernel, but not vice-versa.
| |
| 09:53 | You cannot run a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit processor.
| |
| 09:53 | So if you use: ltsp-build-client --arch amd64 then ALL your clients *MUST* support 64-bit
| |
| 09:54 | If that's the case, then that's okay. I'm just making sure you know the consequences of using --arch amd64.

| 09:55 | garymc has joined IRC (garymc!~chatzilla@81.138.225.166) | |
| 09:56 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, am bit confused now..but am getting till ldm screen
| |
| 09:57 | <Hyperbyte> prem_, why are you confused?
| |
| 09:58 | <prem_> because i have installed and worked amd64 images in the same (i386 hardware ) machine
| |
| 09:58 | Phantomas has joined IRC (Phantomas!~Phantomas@ubuntu/member/phantomas) | |
| 09:58 | <prem_> but what are you saying.,may be that is a requirement for ltsp
| |
| 10:01 | <Hyperbyte> prem_, looks more like it's a Debian thing
| |
| 10:01 | <prem_> well then if this is the case.,will there be any compatibiity issue if i setup a i386 ltsp client on a amd64 OS
| |
| 10:02 | <Hyperbyte> 64-bit PC (amd64) First officially released with Debian 4.0. Port to the 64 bit AMD64 processors. The goal is to support both 32bit- and 64bit-userland on this architecture.
| |
| 10:02 | <prem_> is there any known issues going for a cross arch like this
| |
| 10:02 | <Hyperbyte> prem_, no, there will not be. LTSP uses network protocols to communicate between clients and servers. It does not have anything to do with processor architecture.
| |
| 10:02 | There are people who run 64-bit LTSP servers, powering ARM clients.
| |
| 10:03 | <prem_> good to hear then
| |
| 10:03 | i read somewhere that its always to better to go for same architecutre for the host and the ltsp client
| |
| 10:03 | <Hyperbyte> I myself run an i686 client image with a 64-bit server
| |
| 10:04 | prem_, I don't know about that. I think that's bullshit.
| |
| 10:04 | If you're using ltsp-pnp you -have- to use the same architecture on the server as you would want to use on the clients. But with regular LTSP you can use any client architecture you want.
| |
| 10:04 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, okey then i will better stick with my working amd64+i386 combination
| |
| 10:05 | am using regulat ltsp setup only
| |
| 10:05 | <Hyperbyte> I think it would be much better to run a kernel native to your processor. I don't know how Debian amd64 performs with a 32-bit processor, but since it doesn't matter what your clients are.
| |
| 10:06 | I'd just pick the one that's suited for your CPU architecture, which is 32-bit in your case.
| |
| 10:06 | But, I'm no Debian expert. :) This whole running amd64 kernel on a 32-bit CPU is fairly new to me. :)
| |
| 10:06 | <prem_> yeah Hyperbyte my server hardware is ofcourse 64 bit, whereas my clients are 32 only in hardware
| |
| 10:07 | <Hyperbyte> Same here.
| |
| 10:07 | Using thin clients. :)
| |
| 10:08 | Clients boot 32-bit image, which logs in to server. All applications on the client are 32-bit, on the server 64-bit. LTSP just uses remote X (X11Forwarding) which is architecture-independant...
| |
| 10:09 | <prem_> but Hyperbyte the surprising fact is that in i386 booted ltsp image , when i check "dpkg-architecture" it shows "amd54"
| |
| 10:10 | and even "uname -r" shows amd64 kernel which i installed in server
| |
| 10:11 | <Hyperbyte> prem_, how are you checking this? From a regular terminal?
| |
| 10:11 | And what's the hostname displayed in the 'uname -r'? I bet it's your servers'. :-)
| |
| 10:12 | <prem_> Hyperbyte, yes you are rite
| |
| 10:12 | its server's only
| |
| 10:12 | <Hyperbyte> See, that's the beauty of LTSP. Once you log in, it starts -all- programs, including your terminal (your entire desktop in fact) on the LTSP server
| |
| 10:12 | So when you ask for the architecture, you get the architecture of the server.
| |
| 10:12 | Try this one:
| |
| 10:12 | !localxterm
| |
| 10:12 | <ltsp> localxterm: Any applications that you launch on a thin client actually runs on the server, not on the client itself. If you want to open a program on the client locally, you can type 'ltsp-localapps <program>' in a run dialog or in a terminal. For example, 'ltsp-localapps xterm' to open a terminal running on the client.
| |
| 10:14 | <prem_> yeah i did check that too Hyperbyte ., but since increasing the client image size needs more ram in the client side, i didnt install any extra program in client

| 10:47 | <Hyperbyte> prem_, xterm is in there by default.
| |
| 10:47 | Also
| |
| 10:48 | Increasing client image size does nothing to the RAM in the client, the image is provided over network.

| 19:20 | <ltspuser_67> I have deploy ltsp on a Ubuntu server 12.04, in a VM on a ESXi. I have 1 pxe boot client which works very well. The client has a Radeon video card. Can I use it to improve x rendering ?

| 19:28 | <||cw> ltspuser_67: some things will use it, most can't. if the client is that powerful, thick clients might make more sense for you

| 19:34 | <ltspuser_67> the client is my PC, now diskless. During a session, lscpi gives me "00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter" and lsmod shows me "vmwgfx" module loaded.
| |
| 19:38 | <vagrantc> that's because you're logged into the server, not the thin client.
| |
| 19:38 | so you're seeing the server's hardware.
| |
| 19:38 | try:
| |
| 19:38 | ltsp-localapps xterm
| |
| 19:38 | and run your commands from the xterm that pops up.

| 19:48 | Phantomas has joined IRC (Phantomas!~Phantomas@ubuntu/member/phantomas) | |
| 19:53 | <ltspuser_67> the rendering is poor: for example, youtube video refresh is max 3-4 fps, how can i improve this ?
| |
| 19:56 | <alkisg> !directx
| |
| 19:56 | <ltsp> directx: If you want to turn off encryption to the workstation, which will speed up performance at the cost of security, you need to specify LDM_DIRECTX=True in your lts.conf file. Type !docs in IRC to get a link to the current documentation
| |
| 19:56 | <alkisg> !flash
| |
| 19:56 | <ltsp> flash: Yes, flash sucks. Make sure you have LDM_DIRECTX=True in your lts.conf file, or if it's just youtube you're after, try some flash replacing plugin like https://addons.mozilla.org/el/firefox/addon/161869/ (per user installation, gecko-mediaplayer is also needed).

| 20:31 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i think you introduced some of this code: http://bugs.debian.org/690618 http://bugs.debian.org/690638 ?
| |
| 20:32 | alkisg: just a few bashisms....
| |
| 20:34 | <alkisg> vagrantc: thanks I think both of those are mine, should switch to printf probably...
| |
| 20:35 | <vagrantc> alkisg: also curious about your thoughts on: http://bugs.debian.org/689668
| |
| 20:35 | stgraber: yours too ^^
| |
| 20:36 | <alkisg> Errr I think I'd rather rewrite the configuration parts than diving into them :P :D
| |
| 20:36 | It sounds reasonable though to read the cache first, and lts.conf later
| |
| 20:37 | <vagrantc> it did torment my brain just glancing at all that
| |
| 20:37 | <stgraber> in my head SERVER is whatever dhcp/pxelinux gives you and you shouldn't assume it's overridable by lts.conf, then we have LDM_SERVER (well *_SERVER) for the actual login servers
| |
| 20:37 | <vagrantc> i wasn't sure if there was some reason to read the cache after the lts.conf and ltsp-cluster configuration stuff
| |
| 20:37 | <stgraber> and those indeed default to whatever SERVER is set to
| |
| 20:38 | <vagrantc> stgraber: yeah, i did mention that, though it is a change in behavior
| |
| 20:38 | you used to be able to force SERVER in lts.conf
| |
| 20:38 | brunolambert has left IRC (brunolambert!blambert@nat/revolutionlinux/x-nwuzydlzblddfvaz, Quit: brunolambert) | |
| 20:38 | <vagrantc> and it seems silly to have to configure all the various *_SERVER variables just because you have a different root server
| |
| 20:39 | we could implement DEFAULT_SERVER
| |
| 20:39 | * alkisg will implement booting fat clients from C:\LTSP\i386.img, so he'll need SERVER there as well | |
| 20:39 | <alkisg> (for low bandwidth cases)
| |
| 20:40 | <vagrantc> alkisg: from the local disk?
| |
| 20:40 | <alkisg> Yeah, for wireless or for 100mbps lans
| |
| 20:40 | Grub can boot a kernel directly from the squashfs image
| |
| 20:40 | <vagrantc> wow
| |
| 20:40 | <alkisg> So, win32-loader.exe + a small script to download the img + add the entry, pretty easy
| |
| 20:40 | <stgraber> re-ordering the code a bit would likely work, though we need to make sure we don't regress other parts, for example we don't want someone setting SERVER and then having ldm's nbd update check go poke at SERVER instead of the nbd server
| |
| 20:40 | <vagrantc> grub is really getting impressive
| |
| 20:40 | <alkisg> + a couple of lines in the initramfs
| |
| 20:41 | <vagrantc> rewriting the code entirely could also work :)
| |
| 20:41 | * alkisg really wants to do that, for wheezy+1 and ubuntu 14.04 | |
| 20:42 | <alkisg> (the rewriting part)
| |
| 20:42 | <vagrantc> 14.04? you're really planning ahead
| |
| 20:42 | <alkisg> I've been installing LTSP in a school per day for the last weeks :D
| |
| 20:42 | So I have to plan ahead, no time to implement now !
| |
| 20:42 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
| 20:43 | * vagrantc plans ahead how to eat lunch in the coming minutes | |
| 20:43 | <vagrantc> alkisg: oh, i know you have your own backports and whatnot, but just uploaded LTSP related backports to backports.debian.org
| |
| 20:44 | alkisg: although they'll take an arbitrary amount of time before they get accepted
| |
| 20:44 | <alkisg> vagrantc: got anything working with previous nbd versions? Or did you backport nbd?
| |
| 20:44 | <||cw> there's only 2 "testing" more releases before 14.04, so it's not that far
| |
| 20:46 | * alkisg also hopes Gnome will still be usable then.... otherwise ...it's a nice thing vagrantc is already using LXDE with LTSP :) | |
| 20:47 | <muppis> :D
