TheProf: hi
03:55
<TheProf>
alkisg: Hello!
03:56
<alkisg>
TheProf: sorry I don't have much time, so, could we do this quickly over vnc?
03:56
Ah moment, I'll be back in 5 minutes from a connection that supports vnc...
03:56
<TheProf>
Sure - I would just need some instructions on the vnc part.

<alkisg>
sudo apt-get install x11vnc, on the server, and I'll be back in 5 minutes for the rest...
03:56
<TheProf>
alkisg: OK
03:57
alkisg: Neat - x11vnx already installed and newest version. :)
03:57
<vagrantc>
serving the image files over NFS is really quite fast ... and has a lot of the advantages of NFS
03:58alkisg has left IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg, Client Quit)
04:00alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg)

<alkisg>
TheProf: x11vnc -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
04:00* vagrantc starts editing debian/changelog...
04:01
<alkisg>
vagrantc: the newer nbd-client supposedly has fixed the persistence issues... but nfs-client is preinstalled in the usual debian/ubuntu initramfs, ok, so that's one advantage...
04:01
<TheProf>
alkisg: Ran it and then got an error at the end. X11 MIT shared memory attach failed
04:01
<alkisg>
klibc nfsclient doesn't support resolving the server over dns, does it?
04:01
TheProf: if you're using a thin client, also put -noshm: x11vnc -noshm -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
04:01
<TheProf>
alkisg: I'm running this on a thin client.
04:01
ah. right
04:02
<vagrantc>
alkisg: yeah, no dns as far as i know
04:02
<TheProf>
alkisg: what's better for you - on the server or thin client?
04:02
<alkisg>
TheProf: same
04:02
Actually better thin client
04:02
<TheProf>
OK
04:03
<vagrantc>
alkisg: restarting NBD seems to be pretty brutal on running clients ... not sure how NFS images handle being replaced
04:03
i.e. you update the image, does that crash your clients?
04:03
<alkisg>
It shouldn't...
04:03
<TheProf>
alkisg: looks like a connection is being made...
04:03
<alkisg>
vagrantc: But if one updates the image and restarts the nbd-server, then sure, they'd crash
04:04
But not if you do just one of them
04:04
NFS image-based root would crash too, if you did both
04:04
TheProf: sorry dyndns issues, try again with the ip address: x11vnc -noshm -connect 89.210.176.149
04:05
<TheProf>
alkisg: 23:04:07 connection failed: Connection timed out
04:05
ah right ok
04:05
<vagrantc>
alkisg: did both?
04:05
<TheProf>
alkisg: Yup.
04:05
<alkisg>
If you stopped nfs-kernel-server, and then updated /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img (which is exposed over NFS), and restarted nfs-kernel-server
04:05
The clients would get connected to a different disk, and probably hang
04:06
<vagrantc>
yeah, sure, but if you didn't restart nfs-kernel-server, old clients should continue to use the old file, and new clients should use the new file...
04:06
same with NBD?
04:07
<alkisg>
Yes
04:07* vagrantc wonders about AoE
04:12
<alkisg>
AoE does that without even needing networking on the client :)
04:14
<vagrantc>
heh.
04:15
well ltsp 5.5.x supports NFS, NBD and AoE out of the box, and NFS image support with small updates
04:20
<alkisg>
!kvm
04:20
<ltsp`>
kvm: Virtual thin client: kvm -vga vmware -ctrl-grab -no-shutdown -kernel /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/vmlinuz -initrd /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/initrd.img -append "ro init=/sbin/init-ltsp root=/dev/nbd0 ip=:10.160.67.10::"

04:26
<TheProf_>
alkisg: Hello - sorry I was just saying I was booting up another machine to get on irc
04:27
alkisg: I was also going to mention that the reason the thin clients will not boot now is because a change was made to lts.conf in /var/lib...
04:27
<alkisg>
TheProf_: ok, let's revert i
04:27
t
04:28
TheProf_: is that ok?
04:28
If so, boot a client...
04:29
<TheProf_>
Should be fine - I'll reboot one now
04:30
Yup works fine now
04:30
192.168.0.81
04:31
alkisg: last time vnc required the ip
04:32
<alkisg>
It takes some time for the router to notify dyndns, that's all...
04:32
It worked now
04:32
<TheProf_>
neat :)
04:39
<vagrantc>
using lts.conf directly on those earlier lts.conf files produced some unexpected errors.
04:40
er, getltscfg
04:40
it's more fragile than i thought it was
04:43
<TheProf_>
alkisg: does the IP address matter? you have 166 and the other machine is different I think.
04:44
<alkisg>
TheProf_: I put 192.168.0.1 there, the ip of the server...
04:44
<TheProf_>
alkisg: OK. I'll just be quiet :)
04:44
<alkisg>
TheProf_: no no do speak :)
04:45
TheProf_: start with, where did that lts.conf come from?
04:45
The one shown in the kvm VM in the server
04:45
Ah, you put that in chroot/etc/lts.conf, ok
04:45
<TheProf_>
I made that a few hours ago in an attempt to get the printer working us the other lts.conf file
04:45
Until today that file was empty
04:45
<alkisg>
Right, it should be empty...
04:46
<TheProf_>
I put it in /opt... as /var/lib wasn't working
04:46Ark74 has left IRC (Ark74!~Ark74@189.214.42.128.cable.dyn.cableonline.com.mx, Quit: Saliendo)
04:46Ark74 has joined IRC (Ark74!~Ark74@189.214.42.128.cable.dyn.cableonline.com.mx)
04:46
<TheProf_>
As those were the two places lts.conf existed.
04:50
<alkisg>
TheProf_: btw, now if you try to boot a real client, it won't boot?
04:50
<TheProf_>
I don't know - I will go try
04:50
<alkisg>
OK
04:50
If it works ok, you should see the tty2 shell
04:52
<TheProf_>
alkisg: nope - hangs on the Ubuntu loading screen with the dots
04:52
<alkisg>
The VM booted fine...
04:52
Lets see what happens without the dots...
04:53
<TheProf_>
I'm using another thin client in another room -that OK?
04:55
<alkisg>
TheProf_: is it on the same subnet?
04:55
(try again rebooting it)
04:55
<TheProf_>
Yes - I meant it's not the one you were logged into before.
04:55
All the machines are on the same subnet and identical hardware. Rebooting...
04:57
alkisg: Booted into a shell
04:57
client 119
04:57
<alkisg>
OK so the problem is that the clients don't see the correct server?!
04:57
<TheProf_>
I only have the one server.
04:57
<alkisg>
Let's recap
04:57
You now see the tty2 shell, right?
04:57
<TheProf_>
Yes
04:58
<alkisg>
Not initramfs> or anything else...
04:58
<TheProf_>
No
04:58
Just the root shell login
04:58
<alkisg>
If you use `cat /proc/cmdline`, you see ip=::192.168.0.1:
04:58
<TheProf_>
I can go try hold on it's down the hall :)
04:58
<alkisg>
No no
04:58
Wait until the next step
04:58
<TheProf_>
OK
04:58
<alkisg>
Now, I'll remove that ip= part from your server configuration, and then you reboot the client
04:58
And then the client won't boot!??
04:59
So, let me do the change...
04:59
<TheProf_>
OK
04:59
<alkisg>
Done it, so (1) check cat /proc/cmdline, (2) reboot client
04:59
<TheProf_>
Alright off to reboot
04:59
<alkisg>
ok
05:02
<TheProf_>
alkisg: Hello. cat /proc/cmdline gives the whole bootup line with the ip
05:02
<alkisg>
Nice
05:02
<TheProf_>
when I rebooted it did boot successfully and re-running cat/proc/cmdline gives the whole line without the ip
05:02
<alkisg>
Errr
05:02* vagrantc would be interested in a summary once y'all figure this out...
05:03
<alkisg>
So, the previous change I made was to remove quiet splash
05:03
I'll put it back. If it boots again, we're in the same state we were a few minutes ago, when the client didn't boot :D
05:03
<TheProf_>
maybe it was in shell behind the boot screen?
05:03
right.
05:03
<alkisg>
Hmm
05:03
Yes, that's quite possible
05:05
TheProf_: reboot the client
05:05
<TheProf_>
alkisg: OK
05:06
<alkisg>
TheProf_: you can reboot it from epoptes too
05:06
I just don't know which one it is... :D
05:07
<TheProf_>
I'm losing weight this way :)
05:07vagrantc has left IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@freegeek/vagrantc)
05:07
<TheProf_>
so it does not boot - it hangs on the dots. They stop blinking
05:08
I have a feeling the shell is running the background. crl+alt+del reboots
05:08vagrantc has joined IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@freegeek/vagrantc)
05:08
<alkisg>
TheProf_: let's see if we can see it from epoptes
05:08
TheProf_: did the dots go away?
05:08
<TheProf_>
I will go check... :)
05:09
no
05:10
<alkisg>
I tried "poweroff"
05:10
Did the client shut down?
05:10
<TheProf_>
checking.
05:10
<alkisg>
If it did, boot it
05:10
It should now display LDM, *and* give you tty2 if you press alt+ctrl+f2
05:12
<TheProf_>
I checked - it did not shutdown. I manually rebooted it and it loaded the GUI fine. Client 63
05:12
I didn't check the tty2 - I can go check?
05:12
<alkisg>
Please do
05:13
<TheProf_>
alkisg: Yes I get the tty2
05:13
<alkisg>
OK so everything is fine now...
05:13
And the bottom line was that your clients/setup have issues with only SCREEN_02=shell
05:14
<TheProf_>
So it's reading lts.conf in /var/lib/tftpboot...
05:14
<alkisg>
Sure
05:14
The only major change I did was symlink amd64 to i386 in tftp
05:14
Let me revert that, and retry...
05:14
<TheProf_>
Hmm...that's strange. I put in screen_02 in order to test if it was reading lts.conf as that was a recommended way to do so
05:14
<alkisg>
I rebooted ltsp63
05:15
Sure you did fine
05:15
Everything else is just bugs...
05:15
<TheProf_>
So it's expecting to find an lts.conf in i386 even if there's no 386 image
05:15
<alkisg>
No no
05:15
<TheProf_>
And the symlink fulfills that?
05:15
<alkisg>
I only tried that while troubleshooting
05:15
<TheProf_>
Ah ok.
05:15
<alkisg>
I removed the symlink and it still works
05:16
00:23:7D:1F:F9:CD
05:16
Ah, the clients get a different IP each time?
05:16
<TheProf_>
I can go check if that's the MAC
05:16
<alkisg>
It was 63 before, now 2xx..
05:16
<TheProf_>
it's all DHCP served
05:16
I only specified one machine for its printer
05:16
<alkisg>
I thought it would give the same IP until the lease expired...
05:17
Anyways
05:19
Yeah it gets a new ip each time
05:19
TheProf_: so, everything working ok, i also removed kvm
05:19
This took waaay longer than I expected... :)
05:20
<TheProf_>
I apologize. I'm not sure why it occurred. So I could test it by putting sound=false in lts.conf and the thin client would get no sound right?
05:20
The purpose of this was to get the thin client's printer working.
05:21
It is a clean installation of edubuntu with no modifications to the configuration files except lts.conf
05:21
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i spent a good hour trying to troubleshoot the other day as well ... it was perplexing...
05:21
well, spent trying to help TheProf_
05:22
<alkisg>
TheProf_: sure, try SOUND=False or whatever else, lts.conf is working,
05:22
although there were some issues with the lts.conf printer directives
05:22
<TheProf_>
alkisg: awesome. Is this fix something that would revert if I do updates, etc?
05:22
<alkisg>
At some cases the could prevent the client from booting
05:23
TheProf_: after reverting all the changes, the client respects lts.conf
05:23
So the only real change left was the --verbose to tftpd...
05:23
I hope tftpd-hpa doesn't have the same issue that dnsmasq had years ago...
05:23
That hanged while downloading a few specific lts.conf's...
05:23
<TheProf_>
OK...so if I was to ask what did you do to fix it, you'd say? :)
05:23
<alkisg>
Let me revert that too, in a while...
05:24
<TheProf_>
Don't put screen?
05:24
<vagrantc>
tagged ltsp 5.5.1, and uploaded to Debian!
05:24
alkisg: do your worst!
05:25
<alkisg>
Cool!
05:25
vagrantc: let's make an ltsp5 branch :)
05:25
And head on to ltsp6!
05:26
<TheProf_>
Man I really need to learn Epoptes!
05:26
<alkisg>
TheProf_: if it boots now, the only change I did was install epoptes-client in the chroot, and run ltsp-update-image
05:26
<TheProf_>
I'd save myself miles of running.
05:26
<vagrantc>
alkisg: maybe it's time...
05:27* vagrantc had wished to get ltsp6 really specced out in october :(
05:27
<TheProf_>
alkisg: booted fine
05:28
<alkisg>
vagrantc: I would actually prefer ltsp6 to start with a clean history, to be able to remove things that haven't been maintained in years
05:28
And if anyone is interested, they're welcome to put them back
05:28
<vagrantc>
alkisg: hmmm...
05:28
alkisg: so then we don't have to bother with forking ltsp-trunk ... we just start ltsp6
05:30
<alkisg>
vagrantc: sounds fine to me
05:32
Good morning to all, bb in 1h.
05:32
<TheProf_>
alkisg: Thanks very much!!

stgraber: so, there were a few non-bugfixes, but overall relatively minor changes with ltsp 5.5.1-1, you might want to consider merging
05:55
stgraber: the big bugfix is an issue with 5.5.0 and ltsp-pnp causing the server to have a non-bootable default boot option
05:55
so that's pretty important!

hey folks, can anyone one help with menu script located under screen.d? http://www.filewatcher.com/p/ltsp-client-core_5.4.2-2_mips.deb.222726/usr/share/ltsp/screen.d/menu.html Thin client stuck at Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default ok and nothing happens. Looks like script cant initialise. LTSP running under Ubuntu 12.04
08:39

quiet-splash: to disable the splash screen in Ubuntu, in order to see any boot error messages, run sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default and remove quiet splash plymouth:force-splash vt.handoff=7
08:39

Remove quiet splash and see the last messages displayed
08:41
mips? do mips support pxelinux?

hi all, I would like to install Teamviewer on a fat client, so I installed it in the chroot, but when I run it, it says the demon isn't started, and trying to start the demon shows that the /etc/init.d/teamviewerd is missing from the chroot - why would that be? is ltsp doing something weird with /etc/init.d ?
10:55
<Hyperbyte>
gdi2k, not weird. You're using ltsp-pnp I guess?
10:58
<datube>
Hi all, I'm (trying) setting up a Ubuntu 12.04 LTSP cluster. I've was able to succesfully setup the basic environment (no suprise there), however, I was not able to enable NBD_SWAP. So I started to debug the scripts in (chroot) /usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d. As I found out none of the variables defined on the cluster controller were available in those scripts. I've did some tweaking in the original scripts and now it works as I expected.
10:59
<alkisg>
NBD_SWAP doesn't need to be enabled, it's pre-enabled...
11:00
<datube>
akward, I did an out-of-the-box installation... And no NBD_SWAP at all...
11:00
<alkisg>
How much RAM did the client have?
11:01
By default, they only ask for swap if they have little RAM
11:01
<datube>
the one I'm testing on 1G
11:01
<alkisg>
Right, so it wouldn't ask for swap if it's a thin client
11:02
With NBD_SWAP=True in lts.conf you could enforce the swap for all clients
11:02
<gdi2k>
Hyperbyte, thanks. no, just regular ltsp installed on ubuntu 12.04. It seems like it may be a common Ubuntu issue with Teamviewer in general, and the daemon requires root to start. I can solve that with some sudoers magic I think?
11:02
<alkisg>
No server-side changes should be necessary, at least for normal LTSP, I've no idea about cluster
11:03
<datube>
well, it's a cluster client which doesn't uses lts.conf. all config should be done by cluster controller, which is also tru for "USE_LOCAL_SWAP"
11:04
<alkisg>
OK, how it gets the ltsp config variables doesn't matter as long as they reach the client
11:04
<datube>
I also noticed that I needed to put back "mkswap $swap" (like it was in 10.04) to be able to use the /dev/nbd${num} as swap
11:04
well, that the problem... they don't...
11:05
<alkisg>
If the variables do not reach the client, it's an ltsp-cluster problem, not an ltsp-client problem
11:05
I don't think ltsp cluster is actively maintained anymore...
11:05
<datube>
ow...
11:06
well, than i'm sorry to bother you...
11:06
<alkisg>
In ltsp 6 many parts of it will be superceded by more general solutions
11:06
Like e.g. ltspd instead of lts.conf
11:08
(01:04:46 μμ) datube: I also noticed that I needed to put back "mkswap $swap" (like it was in 10.04) to be able to use the /dev/nbd${num} as swap ==> where?
11:09
$ grep mkswap /usr/sbin/nbdswapd
11:09
# Default to running mkswap
11:09
mkswap "$SWAP" > /dev/null
11:09
<datube>
chroot: /usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/50-swap
11:10
<alkisg>
What are the contents of this file on the server? /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/swap.conf
11:10
<datube>
I known, but when command "swapon $swap" isseud on client, it produces an block I/O error
11:11
[swap]
11:11
exportname = /tmp/nbd-swap/%s
11:11
prerun = nbdswapd %s
11:11
postrun = rm -f %s
11:11
<alkisg>
Sounds fine
11:11
And nbdswapd does call mkswap, so if you need to call it again, you have some other issue elsewhere
11:12
If you run nbdswapd on the server to generate a swap file and then run swapon for it, does it still complain about io errors?
11:13
<datube>
tried that also, that worked fine
11:13
I know, i don't understand it either
11:14
to do the debugging i added "bash -l" to the "/sbin/init-ltsp" and issued the commands manually
11:16
<alkisg>
You can use e.g. ltsp.break=50-fstab in the kernel command line to get a shell
11:17
ltsp.break=50-swap will give you a shell just before that script
11:17
<datube>
I know...
11:17
<alkisg>
Do you use encrypted swap?
11:17
<datube>
nope
11:17
<alkisg>
swap files are sparse, any weird file system on the server?
11:19
<datube>
well, the only thing I can come up with is that is a KVM machine, where to host has the image on a remote storage
11:20
<alkisg>
...on the other hand, the problem would appear with the local `swapon` test too...
11:22
<datube>
hmm, now I issued a "nbd-client <IP> -N swap -swap /dev/nbd12 && swapon /dev/nbd12" on a fully booted client and it doesn't gives me I/O errors
11:26
<alkisg>
Are you using nbd-proxy?
11:26
ps aux|grep proxy...
11:26
<datube>
no I don't...
11:26
<alkisg>
(client side)
11:26
It's weird...
11:27
<datube>
oeps... sorry... (moment)
11:27
client doesn't has nbd-proxy running
11:28
<alkisg>
Having io errors at init-ltsp.d and not on a fully booted system is surely weird...

I also noticed that the file "/run/resolvconf/interface/LTSP" created by "10-resolv-conf" isn't used, so the client isn't able to resolve anyting, because there is a symlink for "/etc/resolv.conf" /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf ..->
11:37
oeps: .. for "/etc/resolv.conf" -> /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf ..

We have many things we want to do for LTSP6, and we just got one of the last ltsp5 versions out yesterday...
19:18
<gadi>
ah....
19:18
<Phantomas>
Sure, bring your athletic shoes! :D
19:19
<vagrantc>
i'd like to think of ltsp5 in maintenance mode, although it's hard to resist not implementing small new features
19:19
<gadi>
cool. I hacked together a python/flask lts.conf web service the other day
19:19
<alkisg>
Phantomas: have you pushed ltspd anywhere?
19:19
<gadi>
(as in Tue, I think)
19:19
<alkisg>
(e.g. launchpad...)
19:19
<Phantomas>
alkisg: That was what I was thinking right now
19:19
Nope, I need to do it :)
19:19
<gadi>
but, then I figured alkisg and his gang may aleardy be doing something
19:20
have you guys written a spec?
19:21
<alkisg>
No, but we're trying to use standards whenever we can
19:21
The python ConfigParser has a relatively standarized format for .ini files...
19:21
Which is quite similar to lts.conf
19:21
<gadi>
yeah - that's what I used
19:21
<alkisg>
Instead of LIKE=xxx, we decided to switch to INCLUDE=x,y,z
19:22* gadi nods
19:22
<alkisg>
And in version 1 we'll support [HOSTNAME*], [IP], [MAC],
19:22
<gadi>
are you caring for writing as well as reading?
19:22
<alkisg>
but we're also thinking of [RAM > 500] sections
19:22
<gadi>
and security
19:23
<alkisg>
Each client will only get the parts it needs, over http, or https if we want security
19:23
But we don't have anything about client identification etc drafted
19:23
<vagrantc>
alkisg: what about [IP*] or [MAC*] ?
19:23
i've definitely made use of [IP*] before
19:23
<gadi>
and writing?
19:23
<alkisg>
*.*.*.* is IP, *:*:*:*:*:* is MAC,
19:24
<gadi>
i.e. PUT'ing to the web service
19:24
and writing the conf file programmatically
19:24
<alkisg>
and alphanumerics without three . or five : are hostnames or included sections
19:24
* can go anywhere
19:24
We haven't thought about writing
19:24
<vagrantc>
alkisg: so 192.168.*.* not 192.168.* ?
19:25
<alkisg>
vagrantc: it's still debatable, but we need a clean way to separate all those
19:25
<vagrantc>
alkisg: ok.
19:25
<alkisg>
To avoid having to write [HOST = xx] or [MAC = yy]
19:25
<gadi>
do you have notes somewhere?
19:25
<alkisg>
We're also thinking of supporting variables (part of ConfigParser), e.g. %serverload%
19:26
<vagrantc>
there is something to be said for explicit, though!
19:26
<gadi>
preferably not in Greek ;)
19:26
<Phantomas>
Would we need writing through the web service?
19:26
<vagrantc>
i kind of like [MAC = yy]
19:26
<gadi>
Phantomas: it opens up a lot of options
19:26
<Phantomas>
and holes? :D
19:26
<gadi>
and easy to implement
19:26
that's what security's for
19:27
and the "read-only" mode by default
19:27
lol
19:27
<alkisg>
vagrantc: I think it's a good opportunity to decide on these things. We just thought to be compatible with the existing lts.conf syntax, but we can surely require the [MAC = xx] part...
19:27
<gadi>
Phantomas: are you using flask?
19:28
<Phantomas>
Yeah, my opinion is that [MAC = 192*] would be a better idea
19:28
gadi: no atm
19:28
<alkisg>
gadi: are you talking about a web-based editor, or a service that would e.g. allow a client to define its own hostname?
19:29
<gadi>
alkisg: I was thinking more about the former (admin tools - be they web-based, mobile, etc) - easy to write a front end once you have the web service
19:29
well, easier
19:29
:)
19:29
<alkisg>
In that case the service can be plain command line, and leave the web part to php
19:29
E.g. ltsp-config get "option" or ltsp-config set "option", with --mac, --host etc
19:30
<gadi>
but, you are writing a web service anyway
19:30
<alkisg>
(and the security part)
19:30
It's a SimpleHTTPServer, not an apache server :)
19:31
<Phantomas>
gadi: I am using http.server.HTTPServer currenlty but wouldn't have any particular problems switching to flask

<maestro_>
hi there!
19:32
<alkisg>
Using http is good because it opens a lot of possibilities, but we shouldn't make ltsp rely on a full web server. And writing a good front-end should require a full web server with UI libraries etc, I think that's a separate task
19:32
Hi maestro_
19:32
<gadi>
alkisg: I have the code written in flask and it's about 100 lines of code. Pretty sure a python web server will do the job fine
19:32
it's not like you are going to have 100's of mobile clients editing it at once
19:32

19:33

Segmentation fault.
19:34
flask is a python web framework
19:34
kinda like django
19:34
AFAIK
19:34
<alkisg>
I don't understand what that means
19:34
So, we'll also need a web server, right?
19:35
With hooks to run python scripts?
19:36
So anyways, this is about the editor
19:36
I think that's further ahead in the future

19:36
<alkisg>
First we should implement the configuration daemon, and then go for the editor part...
19:36
I think we should be deciding the new lts.conf syntax now...
19:37
<gadi>
right. but I am just saying write it as a web service rather than a daemon
19:37
which you are
19:37
and if that web service supports writing
19:37
you are good to go
19:37
even if you are using simplehttp server
19:38
<alkisg>
You're proposing that we would use simplehttpserver + flask together? Would that work?
19:38
<gadi>
sure
19:39
flask uses it (I believe) as its built in for dev
19:39
I'll check
19:40
<alkisg>
gadi, what features would flask has to offer to ltspd?
19:40
s/would//
19:41
<gadi>
it is an extensible framework that makes all of the web service stuff easy
19:41
that's all
19:41
<alkisg>
Our client is mostly shell
19:41
So it doesn't support sessions or similar stuff
19:42
The server gets the client request, processes it, and echoes the output
19:42
<gadi>
right. so you could either view this as a "daemon" and build up from shell, or view it as a web service and build up from a framework that makes that easy
19:42
as a web service, it can all be in python, more testable, and more extensible
19:42
<alkisg>
I've no idea about web frameworks, but I don't see in which part we'd need a framework...
19:43
The big part is the processing, which isn't web-related
19:43
The other is just standard url decoding etc
19:43
<gadi>
how about I throw my quick implementation somewhere, you throw yours somewhere, and we can stare at them
19:43
<alkisg>
Sure, that'd help a lot
19:43
<gadi>
cool deal
19:46* alkisg checks the features of web frameworks at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_application_frameworks... ajax, i18n, databases, templates, caching... do we need any of those?
19:53
<gadi>
depends whatcha want to do. In the beginning, we don't need a UI or a database
19:53
we can just leverage flask for the URI routes, etc
19:53
and we can adhere to some good api standards
19:54
moving forward though, being able to swap out the conf file with a db backend or ldap backend is something we have talked about before
19:54
and would be made easy if we code it right
19:54
<alkisg>
Why not use gconf settings then? :D

<alkisg>
I think that in the initial ltspd implementation, the web part will be very small, so I don't really care how it's written as long as it doesn't have many dependencies, so I'll leave you and Phantomas to figure it out
19:57* gadi nods
19:57
<alkisg>
The non-web backend that does the actual work can be made a flask extension at any time, I don't think that will be a problem...
19:57
<gadi>
is that written in python?
19:57
<alkisg>
Yup
19:57
<gadi>
good
19:58
<alkisg>
I think it would be much better if it stayed in RAM, and not called on request from a web server
19:58
It would serve the clients a lot faster then, with less overhead
20:00
<gadi>
we already do that
20:00
on the client
20:00
<alkisg>
I'm talking about server-side
20:01
So that it doesn't have to re-read files, parse them, cache results etc
20:01
It would have everything in a few tables in RAM, and just match the client request without reading anything from the disk

Only an inotify to check for writes in /etc/ltsp/config/
20:01
<vagrantc>
check for updates to files via inotify...

I am generally focusing on the parser part currently so, I haven't done much work on the web part
20:06
So, if we decide to use flask, It won't be a big deal for me
20:07
btw, I am using python3 for this.

Remind me again, in a fat client boot, to get to the desktop, what actually is transferred to the client?
20:10
<vagrantc>
nearly everything?
20:10
<gbaman>
well, the os image is a few GBs
20:10
so I doubt all that is getting transfered
20:10
<vagrantc>
you start program x, program x itself + anything program x depends on
20:11
so all the executed binaries and libraries used by those libraries
20:11
<gbaman>
on boot though

gadi: I'll upload a zip somewhere for now, it's not anything special, just the base concept
20:19
I'll create a LP project tomorrow and a branch
20:19
or maybe just a branch
20:19
<gadi>
Phantomas: sounds like a plan. LTSP is just a concept, too ;)
20:20
<Phantomas>
gadi, alkisg: http://people.ubuntu.com/~phantomas/ltspd.zip

a sample client request would be wget -q -O - --post-data "MAC=00:11:25:84:CE:BA" localhost:40571

ltspd?
20:22
<Phantomas>
it only supports POST atm, and there is no detection between MAC/IP/Hostname or wildcard support yet. :(
20:22
As I said, nothing special :P
20:27
<gadi>
Phantomas: http://pastebin.com/SKfZ6YAz
20:27
the LtsConfigParser is in a separate file, but it basically just an extension of ConfigParser, like you did
20:28
This guy takes JSON for the editing actions - returns text on the GETs

<Phantomas>
I've never used flask, though. Do you have work done in your parser like INCLUDEs parsing (recursiveness detection etc)?
20:36
<gadi>
stgraber: hey! only since November... :)
20:36
Phantomas: I didn't add the "LIKE" stuff
20:36
er, includes
20:36
:)
20:36
I just did some scrubbing
20:36
so, for example, ConfigParser doesn't barf if you have lines with leading tabs
20:41
Phantomas: securing the different pieces becomes easy in flask via HttpAuth

Sounds good
20:46
gadi: I'll work on the LIKE/INCLUDE stuff parsing and commit my work in LP, then we can discuss about the section format [MAC = xyz] or [xyz] etc
20:46
I think flask is a good option for the web service
20:49
another problem is that if we want things like RAM > 500 as the plan was, we need to use different operators for strings/integers/decimals etc

Phantomas: sounds like overcomplicating
20:58

20:59
<Phantomas>
the string comparison part or the RAM > 500 thing?
20:59
<gadi>
using alternate operators
21:00* gadi thinks
21:00
<gbaman>
roughly, how much data is needed to be pulled across the network to get a fat client to login screen?
21:01
<alkisg>
50 mb
21:01* gadi was thinking 42
21:01
<gadi>
:)
21:02
<alkisg>
Haha
21:02
it's the answer to everything :)
21:02
<gbaman>
50mb, that it?
21:02
<alkisg>
With compressed nbd
21:02
<gadi>
so, any good yo mama jokes since I have been away?
21:02
<gbaman>
nfs
21:02
not nbd
21:02
<alkisg>
Nah, you're the expert on those
21:02
gbaman: you can still use squashfs with nfs :D
21:02
OK, about 125 them
21:02
then
21:03
Probably less in debian...
21:03
<gbaman>
is debian on pi
21:03
<alkisg>
Ubuntu tends to be a bit more fat
21:03
...opposite to its mama...
21:03
<gadi>
NICE
21:04
<gbaman>
big talk on it is tomorrow, so finishing off slides
21:04
going to demo on stage live...
21:04
<alkisg>
You can just run iperf and boot a client
21:04
And measure it for yourself...
21:05
<gbaman>
did just pack it all away
21:05
how easy is iperf to use...
21:06* vagrantc bets gbaman is using raspbian, not debian :P
21:06
<gbaman>
well, it is debian
21:06
just with a slight bit of raspberries added in
21:07* vagrantc guffaws
21:07
<gbaman>
makes debian taste a bit better, everyone loves raspberries
21:08
any idea to get to LXDE loaded state how much data might have gone across the network?
21:08* vagrantc sheds a tear
21:08
<gadi>
Phantomas: maybe we should have a reserved "HARDWARE-" prefix in lts.conf that always gets looked at if hardware arguments are part of the request
21:09
Phantomas: and under each HARDWARE action, you can put configs and tags
21:09
tag is like:
21:09
RAM = 500
21:09
<vagrantc>
(would that be implicitly RAM >= 500 ?)
21:09
<gadi>
and the incoming request can match on hardware sections with the appropriate tags
21:09
<gbaman>
sadly my 32mb sd card has decided to die, so have to resort to my 128mb sd card for the demo tomorrow :(
21:10* vagrantc 's netbook may be finally giving up the ghost
21:10
<Phantomas>
why not include the tags in the sections' names?
21:10
<gbaman>
correct me if I wrong on any of this
21:10
pi loads kernel off sd card
21:10
<gadi>
vagrantc: nah, I am thinking I *ask* for RAM >= 500 and I look for a hardware section's RAM tag to see if it matches
21:10
<gbaman>
is then pointed to the server via the ip address in cmdline file
21:11
<gadi>
hmm
21:11
guess that's backwards...
21:11
<Phantomas>
i mean why name them a separate thing, "tags"
21:11
<gbaman>
then mounts the server drive as its root file system
21:11
<gadi>
Phantomas: you're right
21:11
still, something feels funny
21:11
<gbaman>
(basically tricking it into thinking that it is a normal hdd)
21:12
then loads ldm and user logs in
21:12
that is it?
21:12
getting to LDM stage is about 100mb
21:12
<Phantomas>
[MAC = 00:11:25:84:CE:BA]
21:12
VAR=value
21:12
[RAM >= 500]
21:12
VAR=value2
21:12
this is what we were thinking with alkisg
21:13
<vagrantc>
will fuzzy matching be implicity with =, or will you want exact matching with == ?
21:13
<Phantomas>
client would pass the RAM=xyz thing in its http request
21:13
<alkisg>
gbaman: yup
21:14* alkisg notes that there are server-side variables too, like server(s) load, and that configparser supports %(variables) syntax
21:14
<gbaman>
ok, all is good then
21:15
right, time to hit the sack, got a 3:30am start tomorrow
21:15
thanks alkisg and vagrantc and everyone else :)

vagrantc: what do you mean fuzzy matching? RAM = 500 and client gives RAM=501?
21:16
<vagrantc>
Phantomas: more like [IP = 192.168.*]
21:16
<alkisg>
glob or regex matching
21:16
<vagrantc>
yeah, either
21:16
<Phantomas>
oh, we were thinking something like ~= for that
21:16
but haven't concluded, I guess
21:16
<vagrantc>
so = is effectively == ?
21:16
<Phantomas>
yes
21:18
<vagrantc>
suppose it could get expensive to default to globbing/regex matches

:)
21:18

depends on what the minimum wage laws are
