<bennabiy>
vagrantc: did you get a chance to look over it? (I am going to eat and then be back, but wanted to check in)
00:12* vagrantc looks
00:17
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: basic-mint-conf lacks closing fi ;; esac
00:17
<bennabiy>
yes, I fixed that
00:17
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: and set-mint-dist missing fi
00:18
and still has --no-check-gpg
00:18freedomrun has left IRC (freedomrun!~freedomru@unaffiliated/freedomrun, Quit: So long and thanks for all the fish)
00:18
<bennabiy>
yes, that is fixed as well
00:19
<vagrantc>
and --force-yes
00:19
<bennabiy>
I will remove that and test it
00:19
while I eat I will let it build
00:19
<vagrantc>
it doesn't appear fixed on the review...
00:19
<bennabiy>
no, I need to push
00:20
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: since earl-packages isn't early enough, put linuxmint-keyring in late-packages
00:22* vagrantc forgets why the checks need to be mint_dist || lsb_release_i && -z option_dist_value
00:23
<bennabiy>
I think the reason for the needing accept-unsigned is because the chroot is ubuntu before those packages are installed
00:23
<vagrantc>
why canat you just set mint-dist
00:23
bennabiy: yes, you need to do what --apt-keys does
00:23
in order to fix that
00:23
<bennabiy>
ok, I need to go, but please keep putting what you see and when I get back I will address it
00:23
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: ideally through adding your keyring to the apt-keys var
00:24
<bennabiy>
how?
00:24
ok, I am really going now
00:25
<vagrantc>
like all the other vars, APT_KEYS=/path/to/your/keyring, making sure not to overwrite the existing setting

back
01:02
what changes are you going to make?
01:03
please wait
01:04Enslaver has joined IRC (Enslaver!~Enslaver@fedora/Enslaver)
01:06
<vagrantc>
merging basic-conf-mint into set-mint-dist
01:08
<bennabiy>
something is still not right with it
01:09
I will compile the changes into one file, and then you can check it, but let me make sure it works
01:18Paradox77 has joined IRC (Paradox77!~IceChat77@CPE00259c5e0498-CM78cd8e7e36ed.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com)
01:29
<bennabiy>
why would the commandline options not pass the arguments to the configure stage?
01:31
vagrantc: I am running into the issue that unless I set DIST before 000-basic-configuration, then the only option I have is to force mint to change the dist, or to do some fancy codework...
01:32
because if I allow for mint to detect DIST as existing, or my updated value, it is always going to be existing, which by default will be the codename of the mint dist...
01:33alexqwesa has left IRC (alexqwesa!~alex@109.172.12.47, Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
01:34
<bennabiy>
This was why we were needing to do special casing... Do you see what I mean?
01:34
I updated the code a bit
01:41* vagrantc looks
01:41
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: i think i see
01:42
<bennabiy>
if I make a mint user have to put --mint-dist blah and in 001-set-mint-dist force DIST to the matching ubuntu, then it works
01:43
but if I try to have DIST=${DIST:-$(sed -n 's/base_codename=//p' "/usr/share/mintsources/$MINT_DIST/mintsources.conf")}
01:43
DIST will always be set at that point, to the wrong setting
01:43
which was why we originally made the changes in 000-basic-configuration
01:46
just pushed update
01:46
<vagrantc>
doh.
01:46
<bennabiy>
2495
01:47
doh?
01:47
<vagrantc>
i had something i think should handle that...
01:47
<bennabiy>
I have a test server up which I can actively test a build on.
01:48
<vagrantc>
drop apt_get_opts and debootstrapopts if you're just setting them to the same thing :p
01:50
but it conflicted with your changes
01:50
<bennabiy>
pushed
01:52adrianorg has left IRC (adrianorg!~adrianorg@177.134.60.230, Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
01:52
<bennabiy>
If I use APT_KEYS will it use the file on my machine to validate the chroot?
01:52
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: yes
01:53
well, it will only validate apt keys
01:53
not debootstrap
01:54adrianorg has joined IRC (adrianorg!~adrianorg@177.134.60.230)
01:54
<bennabiy>
yes
01:54
debootstrap is ubuntu, with key in place
01:54
<vagrantc>
good
01:55
<bennabiy>
ok, so check the code now.
01:55
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: i think the remaining changes will be easier for me to just change in code than explain
01:57
<bennabiy>
I think I got it
01:58
check now. APT_KEYS in place... I am testing a build by just running ltsp-build-client and seeing if I get a valid chroot with no errors
01:59
Do you know if I can have two build processes going at the same time?
02:00
can I in two term windows build both a i386 and a amd64 client?
02:00
<vagrantc>
if you specify a different --chroot
02:00
<bennabiy>
yes, diff arch
02:00
<vagrantc>
or a different arch has a different chroot by default
02:00* bennabiy nods
02:01
<vagrantc>
if they finish at the same time there might be problems
02:01
but nothing that re-running ltsp-update-kernels shouldn't fix
02:02
<bennabiy>
I think I spaced them enough apart
02:02
Did you see the most recent changes?
02:04
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: i keep pulling and rewriting my fixes...
02:06
<bennabiy>
I am done... how would you say... for me "It Works™"
02:06
are you pulling from my repo?
02:06
I mean my ... mind blank
02:07
branch!
02:09
heh, when it does its build image and tftproot, it picks up the second install... wonder how that'll do
02:10
vagrantc: I appreciate you putting up with my random mutterings, and attempts at coding.
02:10
I hope I get the chance to meet you some day
02:11
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: seems plausible :)
02:12
<bennabiy>
wow, they didnt collide
02:12
second build still going strong
02:12
How long are you going to be in Maine?
02:13
<vagrantc>
just till tomorrow
02:13
<bennabiy>
If you feel like taking a day trip with your friend, we have a deli in Rutland, VT, or a 24 hour deli in Oneonta, NY and a few cafes in Mass..
02:14
Tell me you are going there, and I will call them and make sure they take good care of you :)
02:14
<vagrantc>
i will have to take a rain check :)
02:14
<bennabiy>
or when you get back to the west coast, we have a 24 hour deli in Vista, CA
02:15
or Manitou Springs, CO or Boulder, CO
02:15
;)
02:15
<vagrantc>
so many choices! :)
02:16
<bennabiy>
and more coming ... we like serving people
02:16
We are building a 24 hour one where I am at right now
02:19
<vagrantc>
doh. my new code doesn't properly support a configuration file
02:20
<bennabiy>
Are you testing your code on a mint box?
02:20
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: paste.debian.net/64237
02:20
just on my brain
02:22
and there's n way to build ubuntu on mint...
02:22
<bennabiy>
wouldnt if [ -n "$option_mint_dist_value" ]; then
02:22
+ MINT_DIST="$MINT_DIST"
02:22
have to be if [ -n "$option_mint_dist_value" ]; then
02:22
+ MINT_DIST="$option_mint_dist_value"
02:22
<vagrantc>
correct
02:23
<bennabiy>
I do like how you check that.
02:23
<vagrantc>
now you're the reviewer :)
02:24
<bennabiy>
I wonder if it would be possible to just put a flag like --non-mint --dist
02:24
<vagrantc>
also want to use longhang lsb_release stuff
02:24
or --mint-dist=none
02:24
<bennabiy>
you also left in reference to LSB_RELEASE_C but took out the variable set
02:25
line 12
02:25
<vagrantc>
it sets it and uses it later
02:25
it's line 4.5
02:25
i.e.$ot represented in the diff
02:26
<bennabiy>
ahh
02:26
<vagrantc>
this is just a diff against your code
02:26
<bennabiy>
I just wondered why it showed the LSB_RELEASE_I but not C
02:27
I get it now
02:27
<vagrantc>
it gives a certain nu ber of lines of ccontext
02:27
<bennabiy>
I missed that
02:27
so, what does your code not account for? making a non mint chroot?
02:28
<vagrantc>
yup, which can be fixed later
02:28
<bennabiy>
Is it possible to make a flag which has no options, just an existance which makes it ignore all mint related stuff?
02:28
something like --extra-help
02:29
<vagrantc>
yes, but i'd rather re-use --mint-dist=none
02:29
and special-case none
02:29
<bennabiy>
I like that
02:29
<vagrantc>
ok, so i'll merge this
02:30
<bennabiy>
want me to test your code?
02:30
<vagrantc>
eventually
02:30
<bennabiy>
I would hate for another merge which actually doesn't work
02:30
<vagrantc>
:)
02:31
<bennabiy>
mine currently works and I can make it do that test like you had which would case none
02:32
<vagrantc>
well, i could see some issues that this should fix
02:35
see another rror in my code
02:36
<bennabiy>
the lack of the fi?
02:37
should be a fi at line 11, or somewhere later.
02:37
<vagrantc>
yeah, used elif instead
02:41
<bennabiy>
I have an idea about the non ability to make ubuntu chroot
02:41
let me try something and pastebin you
02:43
<vagrantc>
already got --mint-dist=none implemented
02:44
hopefully they never name a dist "none"
02:45
<bennabiy>
heh... linuxmint - were number none!
02:46
LinuxMint None - the low-cal "mint"
02:46
I have about 15 more minutes
02:46
I told my wife I would be back around then
02:48
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: it should be merged by then :)
02:48
<bennabiy>
gret
02:48
great
02:48
Do you have children?
02:48
<vagrantc>
i'm ready to merge what i have
02:49
<bennabiy>
mind if I look at it?
02:51
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: full diff from ltsp: pastebin.debian.net/64241
02:52
bennabiy: we can drop early_packages too, now
02:53
<bennabiy>
because it is the same as the ubuntu right?
02:53
<vagrantc>
yes
02:53
might be good to make a new keyring-packages option... since if someone uses --late-packages on mint they won't end up with a keyting package
02:55
guess we could also check if dist = mint_dist before mangling dist
02:56
that would handle dist set via commandline or environment or configuration file
02:56
<bennabiy>
one change
02:56
<vagrantc>
bring it on!
02:56
<bennabiy>
doesnt BLAH="" still = an empty string?
02:57
<vagrantc>
yup
02:57
could use unset instead, i suppose
02:58
<bennabiy>
if [ "$MINT_DIST" = "none" ]; then
02:58
MINT_DIST=""
02:58
fi
02:58
would not change the ability to put a different DIST in
02:58Andymeows has joined IRC (Andymeows!~Andymeows@c-107-2-113-118.hsd1.mn.comcast.net)
02:59
<vagrantc>
true
02:59
<bennabiy>
if at 67 would still = true
02:59
well... actually, the dist would then be set through 001-set-dist
03:00
because you would not use mint-dist none without specifying the ubuntu/debian dist you wanted to use
03:00
<vagrantc>
to install ubuntu on mint requires setting DIST
03:00
<bennabiy>
yes
03:01
<vagrantc>
a reasonable compromise, i hpe
03:01
<bennabiy>
most people would want a mint chroot on mint... I know of many who do not like the ubuntu artwork and such
03:01
so are you going to unset instead?
03:01
<vagrantc>
nah
03:02* vagrantc wants to get the functional merge ovr with and deal wit trivial patches here on out
03:03
<bennabiy>
ok, so how can I test it?
03:03
can you pastebin me the final version of 001-set-mint-dist without the diff formatting?
03:05
<vagrantc>
maybe i'm overconfident, but i think we should push what's here and fix it later
03:06
<bennabiy>
did you want to remove early from mint stanza?
03:06
I noticed it was still there
03:07
<vagrantc>
i did
03:10
<bennabiy>
umm your code you pasted me is missing ;; I think
03:11
<vagrantc>
where?
03:11
<bennabiy>
I mean " ..line...
03:12
66
03:12
<vagrantc>
so right
03:12
<bennabiy>
+ if [ -n "$MINT_DIST ] && [ -z "$option_dist_value" ]; then
03:13
^
03:13
bah
03:13
_________________________^
03:13
<vagrantc>
gt it
03:15
bennabiy: it's all pushed now
03:16
<jammcq>
I see a missing "
03:16
<bennabiy>
where?
03:16
<jammcq>
-n "$MINT_DIST
03:16
needs a trailling "
03:16
<bennabiy>
yes
03:16
<vagrantc>
yup, pushed upstream
03:17
<bennabiy>
pushed the " with it, right?
03:17
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: yup
03:17* bennabiy grins
03:17
<bennabiy>
how about whitespace?
03:17
I am running the code on my test machine
03:17
<vagrantc>
trailing whitespace? hrm.
03:17
<bennabiy>
one run normal, the next with none
03:18
no, I am just pulling your leg
03:18
it looked fine
03:19
<vagrantc>
there is some trailing whitespace on one line, but i'm not going to bother.
03:19
the MINT_MIRROR line
03:20
ah, pushed that too
03:21
bennabiy: so to install ubuntu chroot: --mint-dist none --dist precise
03:21
or whatever ubuntu dist you need
03:22
just --mint-dist none will fail
03:23
bennabiy: and this should mean it ships in debian soon, for what that's worth
03:24
which should trickle into ubuntu at some point
03:26
<bennabiy>
yes
03:27
I just updated my PPA to build the latest code (which is matching upstream) so those who need to use it can.
03:27
I will update my !LinuxMint

I can put the info on the PPA to tell how to build a non mint
03:34Fenuks has joined IRC (Fenuks!~Fenuks@109.202.25.212)
03:34
<vagrantc>
mint on mint worked, though?
03:34
yeah, exaclty
03:34
<bennabiy>
Well, somehow I bombed my tftp server
03:35
I need to fix that
03:35
seems my doing two at once did actually mess it up
03:35
<vagrantc>
though mostly i think that was alkisg being pedantic :)
03:35
<bennabiy>
As long as it works, it works
03:35
<vagrantc>
re-running it should fix it
03:35
<bennabiy>
rerunning what?
03:35
<vagrantc>
ltsp-update-kernels
03:36
one they're both built
03:37
<bennabiy>
nope
03:37
still bombed
03:38
<vagrantc>
hmmm
03:39
<bennabiy>
the tftp i386 folder and redid ltsp-update-kernels
03:39
it is still not working
03:40
I wonder if I should remove and reinstall?
03:45
<vagrantc>
did it fail to finish ltsp-build-client?
03:46
<bennabiy>
nope
03:46
although I still didnt test none
03:47
teting nw
03:48
hmm, rev number is lower than my old repo, so build is going to fail on my recipe...
03:48
do i need to delete old packages?
03:48
<vagrantc>
you definitely should get rid of improperly versioned packages
03:49
these should probably be ltsp 5.4.6~bzrNNNN
03:51
<bennabiy>
it is still calling itself 5.4.3
03:51
# bzr-builder format 0.3 deb-version {debversion}+r{revno}+p{revno:pkg}

03:53
<vagrantc>
the debian/changelog file is probably 5.4.3
03:55
<bennabiy>
yes
03:56
probably
03:57
well, it seems to be pulling all the right files,
03:57
probably safe to say it works

alkisg 7012 0.5 0.0 3572 708 pts/7 S+ 06:50 0:00 xatomwait LTSP_COMMAND
04:52
alkisg 6989 0.0 0.0 6624 808 pts/4 S+ 06:50 0:00 xprop -spy -root LTSP_COMMAND
04:52
Does that mean that xprop only needs 100Kb more RAM than xatomwait?
04:52
Why was xatomwait preferred instead?
04:53
(I mean, implement a .c program instead of just using xprop...)
05:01
<vagrantc>
alkisg: using xprop in a loop was really brutal on the client
05:01
<alkisg>
vagrantc: xprop runs one, xatomwait runs in a loop
05:01
<vagrantc>
but not sure if some of those options worked as well
05:01
<alkisg>
*once
05:01
Meaning that it has its own internal loop, we don't need to call it in a loop
05:02
We could implement an ltsp-localappsd as a "daemon", xprop -spy | while read output; do execute it...
05:02
And we'd kill it as usually with deamons, or it would exit when X exited
05:02
<vagrantc>
worth testing
05:03
i do recall the xprop only implementation was brutal on low power clients
05:03
but it might be possible to do better
05:03
<alkisg>
We already depend/call xprop, just with `-set` instead of `-spy`...
05:04
So sharing a program twice might even save ram
05:04
(memory sharing, I don't know the details of code segments sharing in linux but it should be there)
05:04
<vagrantc>
xatomwait definitely improved things, but i'm open to see something better that relies on existing code
05:06Fenuks has left IRC (Fenuks!~Fenuks@109.202.25.212, Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
05:09
<vagrantc>
alkisg: -spy doesn't seem to work on unset props
05:09
<alkisg>
vagrantc: it needs initialization
05:09
xprop -root -f LTSP_COMMAND 8s -set LTSP_COMMAND ""
05:09
<vagrantc>
right
05:12
alkisg: hope the mint implementation merge looks ok
05:12
of course botched something before mergin
05:12* alkisg hasn't used ltsp-build-client in ages, don't know how much I can test there... :/
05:13
<vagrantc>
so there are two cleanup commits... had they got caught minutes ealier
05:13
alkisg: for someone who doesn't use it, you have a lot to offer :)
05:13
<alkisg>
:)
05:15
vagrantc: http://paste.debian.net/64251/
05:17* vagrantc wonders how that compared to the original code
05:18
<vagrantc>
could even do while read value equals command opts
05:18
skip the sed
05:18
<alkisg>
vagrantc: the alternative idea is to run from the client: output=$(ssh server create-socket-and-listen-for-command-written-on-it)
05:18
So we wouldn't depend on X at all
05:19
<vagrantc>
could be cool
05:20
<alkisg>
Where can users safely create sockets?
05:20
<vagrantc>
no idea
05:21* alkisg googles for mkfifo...
05:21
<vagrantc>
in /tmp .... useing mktemp -d
05:26
<alkisg>
ssh localhost cat /bin/ls | md5sum -
05:27
==> ok, we can even get binary files that way :D
05:28* vagrantc finds a way to sleep
05:28
<vagrantc>
alkisg: keep schemeing!
05:29
<alkisg>

We're doing an ltsp-pnp install today. Plan was to go with LXDE for the desktop-environment, but we've managed to NOT install it, and our image creation is already underway.
07:05
So we're forging ahead with this Ubuntu 12.04 install that is using gnome-classic.
07:30* alkisg is playing with xatomwait and xprop:
07:30
<alkisg>
100 instances of xatomwait need 20 mb ram and make the system crawl
07:31
100 instances of xprop need 21 mb ram and the system doesn't crawl at all
07:32
Load average: 24...
07:33
...40... :)
07:40
So xatomwait needs about 2% of my CPU, and xprop needs zero CPU

Hmmm... our client doesn't seem to be getting an IP address on network boot. Is that a DHCP-server problem or a DNS-masq problem? (or neither?)

<alkisg>
FrozenZia: did you run ltsp-config dnsmasq --overwrite ?
07:51
Also, do you have a router in that network, to provide dhcp?
07:53
<FrozenZia>
alkisg: 1st question - no, we hadn't. That did it, THANKS!

sbalneav, stgraber, ogra_: any comments on replacing xatomwait with xprop -spy? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/1248438
07:55* alkisg will read the irclogs later...
07:58
<FrozenZia>
alkisg: is that command needed nowadays for some reason, or did we just have a strange situation? It doesn't seem to be in the guides we were following (Asmo's and yours).
07:58
<alkisg>
FrozenZia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
07:58
It's mentioned there
07:58
(that's my "guide"...)
08:00
<FrozenZia>
alkisg: sorry, but unless I need to refresh my cache, I'm looking at your guide and there's no --overwrite there...
08:01
<alkisg>
FrozenZia: the --overwrite part isn't needed
08:01
If the file that it tries to create exists, you get a warning
08:02
I.e. ltsp-config dnsmasq (once) => all ok, (twice) ==> file exists
08:02
So the --overwrite part is only needed the second time you run it
08:02
<FrozenZia>
got it.

I have set up a client to boot from the local image I copied to its disk, instead of the image located on ther server. Now the client boots normally, but the user's information is not available. I cannot login with any user. The file lts.conf is totally ignored. What am I missing?
10:39
<Hyperbyte>
teacher, I'm not entirely sure. You should wait for alkisg, he's the resident LTSP oracle.
10:40
One thing I can think of is that it might help to place the lts.conf inside the local image, in /etc/ltsp/
10:40
I believe LTSP still looks there as alternative to tftp
10:40
<teacher>
I'll try that. thanks

Why do you have SCREEN_01 and SCREEN_02 with two different servers?

what problem?
11:09
because i have 2 serwers, first for agents and second for supervisor

Hello, I'm using Gnome 3.4.2 on Debian Wheezy to LTSP users. I want to upgrade Gnome by Wheezy Backports, this will work with ltsp?
13:06
<highvoltage>
gbit: are you using fat clients?
13:06
<gbit>
highvoltage: I use nfs
13:07
<highvoltage>
gbit: and the ltsp machines, do they run the Gnome session locally or from the server?
13:07
<gbit>
highvoltage: I guess is from the server
13:07
pretty sure
13:07
<highvoltage>
(I'm just a bit surprised because last when I tried it Gnome 3.4 didn't work on ltsp thin clients)
13:08
<gbit>
highvoltage: So is too risky to update?
13:09alexqwesa has left IRC (alexqwesa!~alex@109.172.12.47, Read error: Operation timed out)

Ok, this has got to be a stupid question, hopefully you'll forgive - is ltsp-pnp's default that clients are FAT or thin?

FrozenZia, by default ltsp-pnp switches between fat and thin I believe.
13:53
If clients have 512MB ram or more they're fat, if they have less than that amount, they're thin.
13:57
<FrozenZia>
Hyperbyte: tx, and I presume there is an lts.conf setting that I can use to "force" thin or fat?

bennabiy: did the tests work out ok?
16:48
<bennabiy>
TFTP would not work for me
16:48
PXE-11E error
16:49
<vagrantc>
i don't see how that code would break tftp...
16:49
<bennabiy>
I am going to reinstall OS to get a clean slate, and then test, unless you know quick fix
16:49
remember I tried to do two builds at same time
16:50
<vagrantc>
check the permissions on the files in your tftp dir, make sure the're world-readable
16:50
<bennabiy>
Good call!
16:50
thank you, I seem to remember that being an issue
16:50
rebooting now
16:51
<vagrantc>
although ltsp-update-kernels should fix the permissions
16:51
<bennabiy>
that did not fix the problem
16:51
<vagrantc>
another thing is if it's trying to download from a router rather than the ltsp server
16:52
if you don't have your dhcp configration set up correctly
16:52
<bennabiy>
as in the next-server not getting passed?
16:52
<vagrantc>
yeah
16:52
<bennabiy>
now, in default/tftpd-hpa should the bind address be 0.0.0.0:69?
16:53
<vagrantc>
haven't used tftpd-hpa i ages...
16:53
but i can't imagine the defaults would be wrong
16:54
it also may be using /srv/tftp rather than /var/lib/tftpboot
16:54
so make sure the permisions are correct in all places
16:55
<bennabiy>
seems a reboot fixed it
16:56* vagrantc is perplexed
16:56
<bennabiy>
looks like my test using none produced ubuntu
16:56
let me try a mint
16:56
<vagrantc>
that was the goal, yes?
16:56
<bennabiy>
yes
16:57
<vagrantc>
you tested ubuntu instead of mint?
16:58
<bennabiy>
testing mint now ( I tested the --mint-dist none )
16:59
I thought I had tested mint, and build went fine, just never got a chance to boot it
16:59
now building mint again, and will test booting it
16:59
The only issue is if I want to do debian, then I would need to issue VENDOR=Debian (right?
16:59
)
17:00
<vagrantc>
yes, but that would be straight debian, and you'd have to specify the dist
17:00
<bennabiy>
yes.
17:01
what is the current? Jesse?
17:01
<vagrantc>
jessie is in developent, wheezy is stable
17:01
<bennabiy>
ok
17:01
<vagrantc>
sid is always unstable
17:01
<bennabiy>
yes
17:01
I remember that much
17:01
I used debian a lot more back in squeeze
17:02
<vagrantc>
and you had said lmde was actually pre-wheezy release, i think
17:03
but basically doing the same thing with Debian... adding the mint specific mirrors and all that
17:03
and a few mint packages... should work, theory
17:04
<bennabiy>
Then I will do a branch for LMDE support
17:04
unless _you_ want to do it...
17:04
;)
17:05
<vagrantc>
although LMDE's codename is debian? that'll be fun.

yes
17:06
<vagrantc>
oh, it has it's own repository?
17:06
<bennabiy>
yes
17:06
so no file swapping like ubuntu
17:06
should be straightforward
17:06
<vagrantc>
so it doesn't actually pull from debian repos at all? that'll be even easier
17:06
<bennabiy>
yes
17:06
and uses the same linuxmint-keyring
17:07* vagrantc wonders if it will sync up with wheezy at least
17:07
<bennabiy>
they are about to issue a new release... should sync with something
17:07
<vagrantc>
presumably jessie or sid
17:08
better get the newer ltsp uploaded to debian soon, then :)
17:08
<bennabiy>
yes
17:09
<vagrantc>
was hoping to get it done this past weekend, hopeflly by this coming week
17:09
got plenty of room for virtual machines, so maybe i'll give it a whirl
17:13
<bennabiy>
seems LMDE follows testing, but then stales out until next release
17:13
<vagrantc>
weird
17:14
<bennabiy>
I do not claim to understand it...
17:15
like I said in the past, if I want debian, I will use debian :)
17:16
booting mint chroot
17:17
<vagrantc>
if i work on lmde a all, i'll wait till after i get the next debian uload in.

18:33* bennabiy puzzles...

The stuff NSA has been doing has made people really angry in EU.
18:34
Not to mention that it is a really big problem for US companies.
18:35
<bennabiy>
elias_a: Please do not get offended at this, but it does not take much to make anyone really angry... It is all propaganda
18:35
EVERYONE has an agenda, good or bad
18:35
<elias_a>
I know this is OT - just wanted to make sure that we are really angry.
18:36
<bennabiy>
the governments of this world blush like they would NEVER do such a thing, but it is nothing new under the sun
18:36
<elias_a>

18:36

You could tell him/her the following: nobody in Sweden or in any of the Nordic countries would even dream of motivating the spanking ban with the societal outcome.
18:48
The essential thing is that spanking is bad per se.
18:49
And comparison of Sweden and US is a bit problematic as the violence is concentrating into some areas where the immigrants live.
18:50
It would be interesting to look at the statistics of Finland side by side.
18:51
<bennabiy>
did you actually read the whole thing?
18:51
<elias_a>
Yes, sort of.
18:51

18:56

The problem with social sciences is always that correlation and causality are difficult to differentiate.

19:00

19:00

well, it actually is sourced from peer reviewed journals an a very thick study
19:01

19:01

19:03* alkisg waves
19:03
<bennabiy>
I put my custom theme in and it seems that it gets lost in packaging
19:04
when I actually build the client, it is not there
19:04
<alkisg>
You'd probably need to include it to debian/*.install...
19:04
You mean that you put it in the package, right?
19:04
<bennabiy>
yes
19:05
and where do I set the default theme to link to when building a chroot?
19:05
<alkisg>
Check the contents of the .deb to see if the files are there
19:05
<elias_a>
19:05
<alkisg>
If not, they're missing in debian/install
19:05
καλησπέρα elias_a! :)

19:06

19:10
Nor the packaging
19:19
<bennabiy>
hmm. I am trying to find where ubuntu takes over
19:22
alkisg: is there a way to pull from a PPA or local package cache when building chroot?
19:23
<alkisg>
--copy-sources-list should allow you to use the ppa...
19:23
But I haven't used ltsp-build-client since 2 years now, so I'm not sure about the details
19:26
<bennabiy>
trying that
19:31
Could I have one user have KDE as his environment, and another gnome, another mate ?
19:31
if they are thin or thick
19:33
<alkisg>
Sure
19:34
<bennabiy>
either way?
19:34
how much extra load would that put on the server?
19:35
Some of our users are KDE, most are Mate
19:35
right now I have all thin clients, but I am going to do some experimenting with fat client support
19:55
seems like it times out trying to reach my ppa

20:02
how was your flight btw?
20:05
<vagrantc>
hasn't startd yet
20:05
bennabiy: look at /usr/share/ldm/themes
20:05
<bennabiy>
i thought it was failing at building a mint chroot, but then I realized that it was not grabbing my ppa packages when building the chroot, even when I set --copy-sourceslist
20:05
<vagrantc>
at install, you'd have to get mint to include a themes package in their archie
20:06
<bennabiy>
yes, but how do I package it?
20:06
and where in the script does it call those files?
20:07
couldn't I just copy your debian packaging, and update it for the mint theme name?
20:07
<vagrantc>
the ldm greeter binary reads them
20:07
sure
20:07
it's in the ldm-themes package in debian
20:07vmlintu has joined IRC (vmlintu!~vmlintu@nblzone-240-143.nblnetworks.fi)

<bennabiy>
I pulled a branch of ~vagrantc/ltsp/ldm-debian-packaging
20:07
is that the current?
20:08
I have my recipe pulling from that one
20:08
<vagrantc>
that only includes the default ltsp theme, not the debian one
20:09
there are also various ldm theme packages in ubuntu
20:09
<other_other_joe>
You can pass around whatever environments and/or variables you'd like
20:09
in your lts.conf file
20:09
make a [KDE] entry, for instance, and add all the MAC's for your KDE users with a [LIKE] entry
20:09
or, they can always select the environment they'd like manually when they log into LDM
20:09
for fat clients that is
20:09
I'm not running any thin's but I believe the process is possible/similar
20:09
<bennabiy>
yes, I just noticed that the ldm package pulled down with my chroot pulls the ubuntu theme by default, but I do not know which script is doing that
20:10
<vagrantc>
probably just package dependencies/recommend
20:11
<bennabiy>
vagrantc: do you know why my ppa times out when I try to use it in chroot building?
20:11
<vagrantc>
nope
20:11
<bennabiy>
Is it possibly the apt-key?
20:13
vagrantc: which is the packaging which will give me the best options for branching my own from?
20:13
which I can set a default in of the mint theme?
20:15
<vagrantc>
search for branches named ldm-*theme on launchpad...
20:16
or the source package from debian
20:16
do' remember these urls off the top of my head

20:20

how would I go about getting it, and being able to make my own .deb ultimately
20:20
<vagrantc>
look for debian packaging tutorials
20:20
<bennabiy>
does ldm-debian-packaging apply to ldm-themes or ldm-server or both?
20:21
<vagrantc>
neither
20:21
er
20:21
it's ldm-server and ldm, not the themes
20:23
the themes are their own source packages
20:23
you don't need a custom build of ldm
20:23
<bennabiy>
good. I can remove that :)
20:24
Can you link me to a source file which I can modify?
20:24
<vagrantc>
apt-get source ldm-themes
20:24
<bennabiy>
where is the debian ldm-theme?
20:24
ahh
20:24
thank you
20:26
<vagrantc>
apt-cache show FOO will show the source package in 'Source: BAR' (unless it's the exact same name as the package itself)
20:26
i.e. Package: FOO will only list a source entry if it's built from BAR source package
20:27
if the source package is FOO 'Source: FOO' is implied
20:27PhoenixSTF has joined IRC (PhoenixSTF!~rudi@bl8-213-252.dsl.telepac.pt)
20:27
<vagrantc>
also, apt-get source FOO will download source package BAR if that's where it's built
20:28
but you need deb-src entries in your sources.list* entries
20:29* vagrantc wanders off
20:29
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: so, if there's an ldm theme package you want to check the sources for, apt-get source will download the sources for you

ldm-mint-theme
21:19
so I do not need to look at that awful ubuntu splash by default on install
21:19
<alkisg>
Is that the same for both debian and ubuntu? No difference between lmde and linuxmint?
21:20
<bennabiy>
well, as of right now, debian uses the joy theme, so lmde would use joy
21:21
alkisg are you an uploader for packages in universe?
21:21
<alkisg>
So ldm-lmde-theme should go to debian, and ldm-mint-theme to ubuntu?
21:21
No, I don't think so
21:22
<bennabiy>
Is stgraber?
21:22
<alkisg>
I guess so, but I don't know the process
21:28
<bennabiy>
well, I guess this is a problem for another time...
21:28
time to go for a walk :)

alkisg, OMG... I'm so happy you're here!
22:10
<alkisg>
Hehe, how so? :)
22:10
Had a hard time with the one asking in the morning?
22:10
<Hyperbyte>
Because you're "you" :)
22:10* alkisg hugs Hyperbyte :)
22:10
<Hyperbyte>
:-D
22:11
The guy asking this morning didn't give me such a hard time I think. :P
22:11
Was just really busy.
22:12
Oh hey, did I ever tell you I bought a house?
22:13
<alkisg>
Yup, I think you even showed me some photos of it
22:13
<Hyperbyte>
Cool
22:13
I made a video too
22:13
I bought the house quite cheap, because I knew there were some structural problems with it
22:14
Since I don't -have- to live there yet, and it's close by to my parents house, I figured 'what the heck, I'll buy it cheap and just fix all the stuff'
22:14
<alkisg>
How much does a house costs there, say, per square meter?

Hello all, how can I ssh to thin client from server? thank you!
22:28
<other_other_joe>
should be as easy as ssh $user@$thinclient
22:30
<tfdl>
Thanks other_other_joe, i got this:
22:30
administrator@ltspserver1:~$ ssh $root@10.70.103.141 usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-i identity_file] [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]
22:31
it shows me the usage: ssh
22:31
so i tried this:
22:31
administrator@ltspserver1:~$ ssh root@10.70.103.141 ssh: connect to host 10.70.103.141 port 22: Connection refused administrator@ltspserver1:~$
22:32
<alkisg>

22:32
<tfdl>

22:32

22:33
Thanks alkisg and other_other_joe as usual.

by installing openssh-server in chroot i am now able to connect to ltsp thin client via ssh.
22:55
can you please tell me why my client date is wrong on the thin client?
22:55
it currently shows root@ltsp1933:~# date Thu Feb 25 19:01:02 MST 2010 root@ltsp1933:~#
22:56
however the current date on the server is correct.
