<vagrantc>
work_alkisg: so, rather than do the simple thing of just uploading ldm with the one fix you added... i've gotten crazy and tried to update the packaging a bit, which has lead to a yak named multi-arch.
03:23* vagrantc notices a few deprecation warnings during the ldm build...

<alkisg>
vagrantc: you do remember that this is probably the last ldm to ever be released, right? :P :D
05:28
<vagrantc>
alkisg: that's what we said about the last one :P
05:28
<alkisg>
Are you still planning for an ldm-less jessie release?
05:28
<vagrantc>
planning poorly, more like wistfully dreaming
05:30
how long could it ppossibly take? :)
05:30
<alkisg>
I think we're mostly done with ltsp5, so next time we'll have time to work on ltsp, we can start with the ltsp6 branch...
05:31
If we do it one step at a time, it won't take much
05:31
But if we want all the features in before the first ltsp6 release, it could take months
05:31
E.g. ltspd
05:32
<vagrantc>
it'll be somewhat hard to have them both in parallel ... but that would be an option
05:33
<alkisg>
I mean, we could release a ldm-less ltsp6 in e.g. a month, but without ltspd, without supporting all the ldm* lts.conf variables etc, and consider that the "main ltsp release", with ltsp5 being in maintainance only mode
05:33
And then in the next months, to implement ltspd, to support more lts.conf variables etc
05:34
<vagrantc>
let's skip a bunch of numbers and call it ltsp 2014
05:34
<alkisg>
Haha, np
05:34
LTSP 14.04 :P
05:35* vagrantc would rather have a more obvious version
05:35book` has joined IRC (book`!~book`@li125-242.members.linode.com)
05:36
<alkisg>
It's an upstream project, not a distro that combines other software. The major.minor.revision scheme is fine...
05:37
<vagrantc>
when the numbers are arbitrary, people often report just the first number
05:37
<alkisg>
Which makes more sense if it's the "major" number, rather than e.g. a year
05:37
<vagrantc>
whereas if it's obviously a date, i think people might be more likely to remember itt
05:38
<alkisg>
Devs wouldn't remember the features that ltsp had in that date, though...
05:38
<vagrantc>
a little bit better
05:38
wouldn't remember in a version any better than a year
05:39
but whatever, it's just an idea
05:40
<alkisg>
samba 4.x is a major rewrite from samba 3.x. kde 4.x, gnome 3.x too. About systemd 20x compared to 19x, no idea...
05:40
ltsp 4 was its own distro, ltsp 5 isn't, ltsp 6 will be ldm-less
05:41
I don't know major.minor.revision makes more sense to me
05:41
<vagrantc>
there are *huge* feature differences between fairly minor 5.x vs. 5.y
05:41
<alkisg>
That might be our fault
05:41
We could have named init-ltsp.d as ltsp6
05:41
<vagrantc>
we've never really established a roadmap
05:41
so it's hard to know when we've achieved something
05:42
a feature of note
05:42
<alkisg>
I even proposed that back then...
05:43* vagrantc tags/pushes/uploads ldm 2.2.13
05:43* alkisg reads http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning :)
05:43
<vagrantc>
yeah, the init-ltsp.d was a pretty big innovation
05:47
<alkisg>
wine used date-based versioning before switching to major.minor.revision

05:5217SAAIFCY <17SAAIFCY!~cliebow@169.244.180.190> has joined #ltsp
05:59* vagrantc wonders how long before gtk2 is completely dropped
05:59
<vagrantc>
we'd better get ldm-less ltsp working before then!
05:59
<alkisg>
mate-desktop will need 5 years to move to gtk3... I wouldn't worry about that :)
06:00
<vagrantc>
which is, noteably, not in debian
06:00* vagrantc stands corrected
06:00
<alkisg>
Part of it already is, the rest is slowly going in..
06:01
They reported that it would be in 14.04 and in jessie
06:01
I don't know about 14.04 though, FF and all...
06:01
<vagrantc>
mate-desktop is currently in jessie, apparently...
06:01
<alkisg>
Not all of it
06:01
The proposed installation method in jessie is to add their repository
06:02
My roadmap for Greek schools is to offer a 14.04 live cd, and then a jessie/mate-desktop live cd as the upgrade path after 14.04
06:02* vagrantc wonders what the point of a mate-desktop package is if it's incomplete
06:03
<alkisg>
Last I checked, a few weeks back, only 1/3 of the mate packages were available in jessie
06:03
<vagrantc>
doesn't make sense to have broken packages in jessie ... sid, sure.
06:04
<alkisg>
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mate-desktop.html
06:04
[2014-01-26] mate-desktop 1.6.2-1 MIGRATED to testing (Britney)
06:04
I might have last looked before that date, when mate-desktop was not available
06:05
Ah, this is a good status page: http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/status:debian
06:07
<vagrantc>
https://bugs.debian.org/737013
06:07
that's, uh, the most ridiculous reason for closing a bug.
06:09
"we'r enot ready yet, so we're closing this bug"
06:16* vagrantc can't resist a comment
06:39
<vagrantc>
stgraber: i'm thinking you'll want to sync ldm 2.2.13-1, altough i did do some slight packaging changes

hello! So ltsp will transfer everything from from server-based graphics cards (like geforce) and sound cards to remote unit, and transfer all mouse, kb, and touchscreen back ... completely transparently?
18:55
<vagrantc>
it doedsn't reaally use the server's hardware, except the CPU
18:55
and ram, and hard disk...
18:56
graphics are all on the local hardware, sound is on the local hardware
18:56
(although software essentially streams the graphics/audio to the client hardware)
18:56
ccat: but basically, yes, that's what it does.
18:59
<ccat>
vagrantc: What if you want to run a cad program that has gpu acceleration -- remotely (like "dumb" terminal)
19:06
<vagrantc>
it may not work very well
19:06
more likely then you'll want to try fatclients
19:06
!fatclient
19:06
<ltsp`>
I do not know about 'fatclient', but I do know about these similar topics: 'fatclients', 'fatclient-printers'
19:06
<vagrantc>
!fatclients
19:06
<ltsp`>
fatclients: You may find some info about the Ubuntu/LTSP implementation of fat clients at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
19:07
<vagrantc>
it's not ubuntu-specific, but that might explain the idea
19:07
ccat: basically fatclients still boot off of the network, but still run everthing locally
19:08
ccat: requires more powerful clients, less powerful server, and takes full advantage of the local hardware
19:13
<ccat>
vagrantc: anyone here know about freenx and such?
19:15
<vagrantc>
you could conceivably use freenx or x2go with LTSP, but it isn't yet upstreamed
19:16
it's not supported out of the box
19:16
but it probably wouldn't be hard to add support
19:16
though those are not necessarily useful on a local network, that would only make sense if you wanted to connect to a server over the internet
19:17
and you wouldn't want to download the whole OS over the internet, so you'd still need some kind of local server
19:22
<ccat>
faq: "server requirements needed for ... where you want to do heavy graphics, interactive games, and Flash animation" -- This *implies* ltsp can xfer graphics fast, but does not say from built-in gpu or/and gpu-card
19:23
vagrantc: -- ltsp faq
19:23
<vagrantc>
where?
19:23
<ccat>
http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Installation
19:23
<vagrantc>
it's pretty unrealistic to do media-intensive tasks on a thin client
19:24
wow. those guidelines are about 5 years old
19:25
multiply the ram requirements by 3 or 4
19:25
at least
19:26
<ccat>
then also note "If you intend to make heavy use of graphics work in your curriculum, you may want to add even more, perhaps doubling the previous estimate."
19:26
<vagrantc>
ccat: even for basic web browsing
19:26
ccat: seriously, that document is over 5 years out of date.

<vagrantc>
miminum client requirements are more like 512MB of ram nowadays
19:28
<ccat>
vagrantc: well, THAT *is* the faq! --- the only concise source of info new users have to understand the sw. :)
19:29
<vagrantc>
like all too many projects, the documentation lags far behind the development
19:30* vagrantc apologizes
19:30* vagrantc wonders if the ltsp manual is any more current
19:31
<ccat>
vagrantc: so modern graphics exceeds current capabilities even though current capabilities exceed that doc?
19:33
<vagrantc>
ltsp manual still uses some of the same outdated information ... hrm.
19:34
ccat: the bus speed of your graphics card to the motherboard is *much* faster than even gigabit network cards.
19:35
ccat: software is not really designed for network transparency these days, so unfortunately, graphics-intensive stuff is unrealistic on thin clients.
19:35
that said, experimentation is far more useful than any documentation- individual use-cases vary *greatly*
19:37
if you need multi-media, use LTSP fatclients. it's really the only sane option.
19:37
then it's not really much different from running a disked machine, and software developer's assumptions are more similar.
19:38
still gain a lot of the advantages of centralization, just requires more capable client hardware

vagrantc_: (sorry, neighbor at door) --- Really all that is needed is to send the screen image to the remote running as terminal, and send the gui-commands back to the server running the sw
19:57
vagrantc_: --- screen and sound
19:57
<vagrantc_>
it just depends on how intensive that is
19:58
for some tasks, that's fine, and works great as a thin client, for others, not so much.
19:58
<ccat>
vagrantc_: --- oh, and do it 30 to 60 fps :)
19:58
<vagrantc_>
if you know the fps, then you can actually measure how much bandwidth it takes
19:59
there's some formula for resolution X depth X fps or something
19:59
it gets ugly fast
20:00
it's one of the things that makes LTSP not viable over wireless
20:01
<ccat>
vagrantc_: tried 60*1024^2*32/2^30 = 1.875Gb
20:02
vagrantc_: but then there is compression, which could be quite a bit for some images
20:02
<vagrantc_>
there is no compression, unless you use a protocol that uses compression :P
20:04
ccat: at any rate, experimentation with actualy use is really the best measure.
20:04
<ccat>
vagrantc_: so ltsp has no compression??
20:04
<vagrantc_>
it just uses raw X11 protocol
20:04
well, the default configuration uses raw X11
20:05
well, actually, the default configuration typically uses raw X11 over ssh
20:05
but LTSP itself is for the most part, just the OS delivery mechanism
20:06
you can configure it to do whatever you want.
20:07
compression does significantly increase the server and client hardware requirements, which is a balancing act and often times will slow down performance
20:08
that's where NX/x2go do targeted compression of things that make sense, but those protocols are also about reduced latency
20:09
<ccat>
vagrantc_: what about rdp?
20:10
<vagrantc_>
LTSP does have some built-in support for rdp
20:10
LDM itself can connect over RDP, and there are also scripts that use rdesktop/xfreerdp

vagrantc_: (re updating info, start here! -- especially as it is not even listed yet -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software
20:15
<vagrantc_>
ltsp can use, or can be adapted to use, any protocol that will run on linux
20:15
it's just a network booted OS

vagrantc_: "LTSP is a collection of software that turns a normal GNU/Linux installation into a terminal server. " -- more to fix?
20:26
<vagrantc_>
i don't see anything wrong with thhat statement...

vagrantc_: because a Modern normal install has a gui, thus implying that lstp spports that gui
20:29
-- supports
20:32
vagrantc_: -- thus, whatever that gui can show, (unlike the old text display), like video, graphics, etc
20:38
<vagrantc_>
i don't see how that contradicts that
20:39
it actually does that, though there are some limitations of physics and code.

<vagrantc_>
some things it doesn't do well, just like any other computer
20:41
if you want to help improve the documentation, please start proposing some actual fixes
20:42
<ccat>
vagrantc_: sorry, can't really help improve what i don't really yet understand :(
20:42* vagrantc_ finds the best way to understand is to start trying it
20:45
<ccat>
vagrantc_: that would require first getting the server and client pc's that it is proposed to be used with in... order to max the server and min the client specs :)
20:46
<vagrantc_>
setting up a virtual machine and a virtual client to test it out and get familiar with how it works should be accessible
20:47
you can also probably grab any old computer and set them up to see how they work
20:47
or an old laptop ... whatever you have on hand
20:48
<ccat>
vagrantc_: current pc's are pre... millennial
20:49
<vagrantc_>
might work for a proof of concept
20:51
it obviously won't give you useful data about useability of newer stuff, but it might give you an idea of the bare-minimal specs
20:53
the absolute minimal specs for a proof of concept client are probably between 128MB-256MB of ram, depending on what OS you use. Ubuntu has higher minimum requirements than Debian, for example.
20:56
<ccat>
vagrantc_: well so far it seems the heart of ltsp is just to do the remote bootup -- and then it's up to the client which terminal to use, though one is included in the ltsp package

well, the default setup connects to the server using LDM, which connects via ssh with X11 forwarding
20:59gbaman has joined IRC (gbaman!~gbaman@194.46.114.165)
20:59
<vagrantc_>
there is also a frequently used mode to disable ssh for all but authentication purposes ...
20:59
LDM_DIRECTX
21:00
well, i guess the homedir stuff is still over sshfs by default as well
21:00
biig loss of security, but big performance gain
21:02
<ccat>
vagrantc_: do you even need ssh on a wired home network?
21:03
<vagrantc_>
depends on your priorities
21:04* vagrantc_ proposes secure defaults and lets people shoot themselves in the foot if they want to
21:05
<ccat>
vagrantc_: it can't really be physically tapped, and if someone *did* have the equipment to remote-sense somehow, would mere ssh even help?
21:06
<vagrantc_>
a home network isolated with no connections to the internet?
21:12
<ccat>
vagrantc_: no, still one pc with inet conn
21:13
vagrantc_: -- but even that one could just run ltsp
21:13
<vagrantc_>
sounds like you have plenty of attack vectors... *anyways* :P
21:14
<ccat>
vagrantc_: how so?
21:15
<vagrantc_>
i err on the side of security, but i'm not really wanted to get into a long debate about it
21:15
i'd rather keep working on ltsp

vagrantc_: no, no don't want to debate, just learn, especially what You (very experienced) are thinking of (IF?) related to MY queries, that I (very new) am overlooking
21:19
<vagrantc_>
connecting any two networks will invariably involve some level of insecurity
21:19
web browsers also routinely run remote untrusted code, for example
21:19
that's the short of it
21:21
i do not believe in "trsutworthy" networks.
21:22
<ccat>
vagrantc_: y, agreed, that is why looking for ideally a sort of KVM setup
21:24
--- remote kvm that is

<vagrantc_>
i don't edit the wiki at all

ccat: ltsp is not appropriate for that page
23:00
ccat: that's a list of some of the protocols ltsp can use
23:00
some of which it does

i guess i did edit the wiki once or twice

we're working on getting rid of it entirely

23:18
<ccat>
vagrantc_: so it can only generate a login screen?
23:20
<vagrantc_>
i don't know what you mean by generate...
23:20
it handles the whole login process
23:21
when you boot a default ltsp setup, a it's what takes your username/password and logs into the server and starts a session, at the most basic level
