Hi all. I'm still trying to solve my sound issue. I modified the chroot /etc/pulse/daemon.conf flat-volume=no (like in ubuntu 10.04) and now I can change volume on a playing sound within the app playing the sound (vlc, flash, totem).
05:10
(So I set flat-volume to no)
05:13
but I still have issues : sound is not started at fresh log, and if I change the volume with the desktop icon, sound breaks (pa_stream_writable_size() failed : connection terminated) until I manually restart it with the ltsp-init-common start_sound function.
05:16
I've also noticed something : if I make my chroot console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) beep once logged (here as root) before having my LDM (Ctrl+Alt+F7) logged as a user, well sound is started for the user.
05:22
So I keep thinking about studying pulseaudio, but help still be appreciated (as they even were), thanks.
05:24
s/(as they even were)/(as suggestions and advices even were)/
05:36
Hi. I have a problem with LTSP. User session start without the global sound icon (except if the thin client console has just beeped). When I run any sound app, I get a "pa_stream_writable_size() failed : connection terminated". So after restarting manually pulseaudio in system mode (as usually, when you use LTSP) on the thin client, I can play sound.
05:40
I partially fixed the problem by setting flat-volume to no in the daemon.conf system of the client, which let me set the volume within the sound app that plays, but I can't set global volume, and I still don't have a good session start for my users.
05:41
How to know if the problem is software or hardware (VIA1612A, ok with ubuntu 10.04) ?
05:41
And how to know if the problem is LTSP or pulseaudio ?
05:42
(sorry I wanted to write on #pulseaudio, (

<work_alkisg>
Does it work with a live ubuntu 12.04?
06:07work_alkisg is now known as alkisg
06:08
<alkisg>
urly: ^
06:09
<urly>
hi alkisg
06:10
Well I can't start live ubuntu 12.04 on my neoware ca10, but with my hp t5510 I can
06:10
<alkisg>
Why, it doesn't have a boot from usb option?
06:10
And, both of them have the sound issue?
06:11
<urly>
both yes, and same via1612a
06:11
<alkisg>
And does sound work fine with the hp t5510?
06:11
And, do any other clients work fine wrt sound?
06:12
<urly>
live usb yes for the t5510, sound ok with my laptop as a thin client
06:13
and live USB sound works with t5510, too
06:15
<alkisg>
And the neoware client only has 128 ram?
06:16
<urly>
VIA1612A is the chip of my VIA 8235 sound card on my neowares ca10
06:17
no some of them have 512+256
06:17
<alkisg>
Hmm, so it's not a RAM issue, it would make sense for pulse to die with 128 ram with the default ltsp setup...
06:17
So why not try booting from usb with some of the ones with 512 ram?
06:19
<urly>
I've ever tried to usb boot with the ca10 but I didn't manage
06:20
but I have one running LTSP 10.04 right now
06:20
as a client
06:20
<alkisg>
You can't debug 12.04 problems using 10.04 though...
06:21
<urly>
ha
06:21
<alkisg>
You can use pxelinux and tell it to boot from usb
06:21
Ah, here's another method:
06:21
!livecd-netboot
06:21
<ltsp`>
Error: "livecd-netboot" is not a valid command.
06:22
<alkisg>
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot ==> ONLY the automation script paragraph there
06:22
<urly>
ok, I've never, but I can try. How ? Or better : what do I do after
06:22
ok
06:23
<alkisg>
Well, if sound works with 12.04 live booted, keep bugging #ltsp or #pulseaudio,
06:23
*sorry, if it doesn't
06:23
meh
06:23
too early in the morning, if sound works, then yeah bug us or #pulse,
06:23
while if it doesn't work, it's not an ltsp or pulse issue, it's a kernel etc issue, so take it to #ubuntu
06:24
<elias_a>
alkisg: Were teachers also on strike yesterday in Greece?
06:24
<alkisg>
elias_a: morning! some of them, yeah...
06:24
<elias_a>
alkisg: Morning. The strike was in Finnish national tv news. That's my reason for asking.
06:25
<alkisg>
Wow, I didn't know we went so public...
06:25
<urly>
alkisg : I've got the issue with 12.04 and debian 7
06:25
<elias_a>
alkisg: I really do hope Greece gets financial things in order and stays in EU.
06:25
<alkisg>
The distro doesn't matter
06:26
<urly>
ok
06:26
<alkisg>
elias_a: I don't think any country can leave the EU without the EU falling apart...
06:27
It's usually not a local issue, the economy is driven by global politics
06:28
<elias_a>
alkisg: I don't think so as EU is after all based on economy more than anything else. Small countries have little importance...
06:29
But of course if one country is being split off, the next one is easier and that's where the slippery slope begins.
06:29
<alkisg>
There was some essay about it from some global financial organization, I don't remember the link but it's not my own thoughts about it
06:30
I think the idea is to make the public section smaller, to rip off nation treasures etc
06:30
<elias_a>
Ok. I'd like to read it.
06:30
<alkisg>
I don't think they want to completely destroy any country's economy, they'll gain less by doing that
06:31
<elias_a>
I think Greece does not have any fundamental problem when it comes to productivity.
06:31
<alkisg>
It's not like suddenly greeks stopped working and the problem started... it's a manufactured problem
06:32
<elias_a>
Seen from finnish perspective your only problem is the tradition of doing some things past the system.
06:33
I have no personal experience but my impression is that the greeks are not as happy tax payers as people in Finland for example.
06:33
Of course there are people in Finland, too, who avoid taxes.
06:34
But that is not definately seen to be a virtue :D
06:34
<urly>
alkisg : oh I'm thinking my neoware have no pae flag, I guess I'll have a problem with 12.04. I maybe should do the live netboot with debian or no ?
06:34
<alkisg>
A recent study said that in an ideal system, if greece was able to collect all the pending taxes, they'd get about 5 billion, which is only a tiny fraction of the debt
06:35
So while that is a problem (and was in the past with no crisis anywhere), it's not the main cause
06:35
<elias_a>
alkisg: Ok. That is good to know.
06:36
alkisg: As I have adopted some marxist economical thinking I can imagine how this situation has been generated.
06:37
<alkisg>
I hate the current economy system, it's too unstable and easy to get manipulated
06:38
Money don't correspond to actual work, value, treasure anymore, only stocks matter
06:38
And I think there are groups that actually planned it that way...
06:39
(no conspiracy theories though :))
06:40
<elias_a>
alkisg: There does not have to be any conspiration theory because there are document leaks that prove it.
06:40
Just a moment....
06:40
<alkisg>
urly: 12.04 does have a non-pae kernel, use the 12.04.0 cd, the original one, not 12.04.3
06:41
Use the ubuntu cd, not the debian one, it'll be harder for you to netboot debian live
06:42
<urly>
all right )
06:43
<alkisg>
urly: ah, moment, I think i remembered wrong,
06:43
I think even the 12.04.0 cd comes with the pae kernel, and the non-pae is only an option after the installation...
06:44
urly: so it might be easier to try the client as a fat client, which handles pulseaudio differently
06:44
!ltsp-pnp
06:44
<ltsp`>
ltsp-pnp: ltsp-pnp is an alternative (upstream) method to maintain LTSP installations for thin and fat clients that doesn't involve chroots: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
06:44
<alkisg>
You could e.g. test with that ^ and with a non-pae kernel in a VM ltsp server
06:45
Or maybe lubuntu 12.04 sihped with non-pae, google it
06:46
So you could use livecd-netboot with lubuntu
06:47
Yup, so use that ^, lubuntu 12.04 + livecd netboot
06:48
<urly>
this one :http://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/ mini.iso ?
06:50
<alkisg>
no, lubuntu-i386-12.04.iso
06:51
<urly>
ok

roces4, few things. Remove line 1, the "key=value" thing. Also remove the unneeded empty lines (3, 4, 15, 16)
11:18
Next, remove all whitespaces around the '=' characters. So replace 'DNS_SERVER = 172.16.1.230' with 'DNS_SERVER=172.16.1.230', for example
11:19
Then, if you're not using Linux thin/fat clients and just rdesktop, remove lines 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14
11:19
Lastly, change SCREEN_01 to SCREEN_06 and SCREEN_02 to SCREEN_07
11:20
Then reboot clients and specify exactly what happens.

Does anyone know a good way to squish the filesize down on pngs?
15:09
Also, what is the expected resolution for LDM?
15:09
like, how large should my bg.png be?

<yopla>
sorry
16:59

17:00

debian still doing nfs mount compared to ubuntu
17:06
<yopla>
yes that's true
17:06
but i wanted to test new italc
17:06
as it is included in whaeezy-backports
17:07

17:08
but first, i'd like to get ldm runing on my original ltsp server
17:09
(the ubunt one)
17:11
I think i need to push the ubuntu ssh keys on the debian one tight ?
17:18
<bennabiy>
What is the best way to specify a fat client image for just one computer? would I do it at the DHCP level?
17:18* bennabiy has never touched fat clients before...
17:19
<yopla>
I think so as the ltsp chroot is different

Finaly, the solution was : 1)ubuntu = ltsp-update-sshkeys --export 2)debian = paste public keys in /etc/ltsp/ssh_known_hosts.ubuntu 3)debian = ltsp-update-sshkeys
17:40
Now my Debian thin client is connecting to my ubuntu ltsp server.

Question for y'all, I am just playing around with this and setting it up for my first time. I have attempted to RTFM this problem, but am not sure where this is misconfigured. I am trying to make a few 64bit thin cilents work, but whenever they try to boot, they attempt to mount /opt/ltsp/i386 (which doesn't exist).

Thanks for the assist

np, thanks for teaching me a new phrase (rubber duck debugging) :)
18:37
<bennabiy>
alkisg: here is my situation. I have been running from the server for my user (with the rest all thin clients). Some of what I do and use resources for, I cannot do as a thin client (so I guess technically, my user has been a thick client the whole time) ;)
18:38
<alkisg>
bennabiy: ltsp-pnp supports both thin and fat at the same time, you don't need multiple images...
18:38
<bennabiy>
but now I want to use a fatclient for my user, but not disrupt the rest of the thin clients which are running fine
18:38
<alkisg>
Just set LTSP_FATCLIENT=False in lts.conf, and LTSP_FATCLIENT=True for you
18:39
<bennabiy>
alkisg: what about my 2 nic setup?

18:39
<bennabiy>
I thought ltsp-pnp used just 1
18:40
<alkisg>
bennabiy: it's just 1 line in your dhcp configuration
18:40
(2 nics vs 1 nic)
18:40
Actually, the default setup supports both 1 and 2 nics
18:41
If you use 192.168.67.1 as your internal ip, it works out of the box

18:42
since they are all thin clients anyway
18:43
<Enslaver>
which distro's are currently using btrfs for the thin clients?
18:44
<bennabiy>
have you tested ltsp-pnp with versions other than 12.04?
18:45
alkisg: also, is it fine if I use the current ppa I have of ltsp for ltsp-pnp?
18:46
aka my ppa which is in sync with upstream
18:46
(I noticed you suggest using the greekschools ppa)

19:16
<alkisg>
(08:42:12 μμ) bennabiy: alkisg: my issue... I have users actively logged in and working. Can I switch to pnp without disrupting them? ==> sure, you just need an ltsp-update-image -c /
19:16
(08:45:31 μμ) bennabiy: alkisg: also, is it fine if I use the current ppa I have of ltsp for ltsp-pnp? => yup
19:16
(08:44:26 μμ) bennabiy: have you tested ltsp-pnp with versions other than 12.04? => nope
19:16
bennabiy: if your server is amd64, then the ltsp-pnp image will be amd64 too
19:17
So if your clients are i386, don't use ltsp-pnp, just build a fat chroot
19:17
Enslaver: none? :)
19:18
<bennabiy>
the rest of the clients are all atom machines
19:18
which do not make good fat clients (score of about 300 )
19:19
could I not use ltsp-update-image -c / for an amd64 fat client, and then let the thin clients use the existing i386 image?
19:20
and then at my /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
19:20
make my mac address of my fat client pull the right image?
19:21
<alkisg>
bennabiy: sure
19:21
<bennabiy>
Is it possible to set IPAPPEND=3 only for that one kernel?
19:21* alkisg uses atoms as fat clients, but his servers aren't very good, score of about 1500
19:22
<alkisg>
You don't need it since you're using an internal nic
19:22
<bennabiy>
great!
19:22
<alkisg>
But yeah, in pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address instead of pxelinux.cfg/default
19:22
Don't do anything that the wiki says
19:22
Since you already have ltsp set up, just run the ltsp-update-image -c / command
19:22* bennabiy nods

ok.
19:44
so if I want everything to default to i386, but want to load the fatclient for the one mac address, what is the best way to do that?
19:44
would I do a host entry in dhcpd?
19:48
<vagrantc>
bennabiy: yeah, you'll need to update the artwork plguin
19:50

by then, MINT_DIST should be set one way or another, right? so I could just do a check based on that

move to shell based daemon per Gadi: xrexecd.c -> xatomwait.c, simply wait for an atom to change, print atom contents, and exit. modified xrexecd.sh to xatomwait

right

22:22
<vagrantc>
so we either didn't know about -spy or it didn't exist...
22:22
i like the idea of incremental improvements
22:23
as long as they're not too invasive
22:23
<alkisg>
Sounds good to me too, I can take care of the code if you take care of any packaging changes needed :)
22:23
<vagrantc>
although i did want to just upload what was in ltsp-trunk saturday without much fuss
22:24
hoped to get it this last weekend... got some testing in this week
22:24
<alkisg>
np, I can do it when we'll do the ltsp coding day
22:25
<vagrantc>
i'd like to try and schedule at least a couple days a month or something to focus on coding
22:25
or even a day a week?
22:25
<alkisg>
Personally I prefer to put a looot of days into one subject, then move to another
22:26
So I e.g. wanted to debug 14.04 (not ltsp things) till christmas, and focus on ltsp6 at the summer
22:26
(and progress my phd a bit inbetween...)
22:26* vagrantc wants ltsp6 ready by summer...
22:26
<vagrantc>
or mostly ready
22:29* alkisg is fine with the "a couple of days per month" approach though
22:31
<vagrantc>
i'd really like to get some sort of sprint together, ideally in person, sometime this summer
22:32
<alkisg>
If you can find me a place to stay, I can get there a lot before debconf :)

I keep getting that error
23:18
I done a previous install without issues. about 2 month ago.
23:20
I seen a few emails regarding the same issue on the mailing lists but I dont see a fix
23:29
another thing I notice that is odd.... 2 month ago the repo had 5.4.5-24.el6 and now it has 5.4.5-22.el6.... It makes no sense
