vagrantc: so is the new pamssh something that should be synced to ubuntu 16.04?
05:46
Is it a bug fix release?

<vagrantc>
alkisg_away: if ubuntu only syncs from testing, you shouldn't even have libpam-sshauth
06:54
alkisg_away: i haven't tested it as thoroughly as i would like at this point, so i can't give a strong recommendation
06:55mgariepy has left IRC (mgariepy!~mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy, Ping timeout: 265 seconds)

tested it enough that it should land in debian unstable, but it may just stay there

<alkisg>
vagrantc: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libpam-sshauth
07:28
AFAIK, in LTS releases it syncs from testing, while in non-LTS ones it syncs from unstable
07:29
So, if the new version is a bug fix over 0.3.1-1ubuntu1, I think it's reasonable to sync it
07:38
<vagrantc>
hasn't been in testing for over half a year
07:40
alkisg: well, i left it in an unfixed state for many months due to uncertainty about it
07:40
<alkisg>
vagrantc: since ubuntu autosyncs from unstable, there's not much we can do other than send a better "unstable" version
07:41
Maybe it could be a bit more clever and ignore packages that never landed in testing, but it doesn't do that
07:41
<vagrantc>
alkisg: looking at the changelog, it basically fixes the two issues in the ubuntu diff
07:41
maybe slightly different way
07:42
alkisg: so syncing it would result in a virtually identical package, just sync'ed with debian and upstream
07:42
alkisg: so it's no worse than what you have now :)
07:42
<alkisg>
If it's a bug fixing release, it's OK to sync it; otherwise it needs too much bureocracy (feature freeze exception) to bother with it :)
07:43
Cool, I'll check if I'm allowed to sync it
07:43
<vagrantc>
i miean, the patches might have slight variations to fix compiler warnings on top of those patches
07:44
<alkisg>
$ syncpackage -d sid libpam-sshauth --force
07:44
syncpackage: Source libpam-sshauth -> xenial/Proposed: current version 0.3.1-1ubuntu1, new version 0.4.1-1
07:44
Done! :)
07:45* vagrantc is glad to see someone taking care of it
07:45
<alkisg>
Once it reaches the archives, I'll test if we can use it for text mode logins
07:46
<vagrantc>
i was able to get it to work for that in jessie, but in stretch it will require some adjustment
07:46
<alkisg>
Because of systemd/logind etc?
07:46
<vagrantc>
i haven't identified the nature of the problem
07:46
<alkisg>
OK
07:46
<vagrantc>
but those would be likely suspects
07:49
<alkisg>
Whoops
07:49
syncpackage: Error: The signer of this package is lacking the upload rights for the source package, component or package set in question.

07:58* vagrantc really appreciates ubuntu release numbers being meaningful
07:58

!learn loopback-image as to boot a loopback image with kvm: kvm -kernel /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/precise-i386/vmlinuz -initrd /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/precise-i386/initrd.img -append "root=/dev/sda" -curses
07:58
<ltsp>
The operation succeeded.
07:59
<alkisg>
Compressed btrfs images are very handy
07:59
They're compressed so they can be used without mksquashfs, and they can be maintained with a simple kvm command
07:59
<vagrantc>
haven't done that by hand in ages
08:00* vagrantc mostly uses virt-manager
08:00
<vagrantc>
ah, nice.
08:00
<alkisg>
That image is not directly bootable, grub doesn't like being installed to an MBR-less device

alkisg, I am really impressed with your precise image
08:36
thinking of defaulting to that one for thinclients
08:37
<alkisg>
cyberorg: I'm currently improving it a bit and will reupload sonnish :)
08:37

08:37
Do you want me to ping you when I'm finished?
08:37
<cyberorg>
works with suse ltsp server with only minor adaptation
08:37
<alkisg>
Cool!
08:38
<cyberorg>
it was just copy of lts.conf and ssh_known_hosts
08:38
and locale change
08:38
thanks for the great work :
08:39
<alkisg>
:)
08:40* alkisg is also installing epoptes-client in there
08:40
<cyberorg>
I saw it working out of the box with suse ltsp server :)
08:40
i mean epoptes-client from precise btrfs image
08:41
<alkisg>
Ah, nice
08:42
<cyberorg>
just working on defaulting suse images to compressed btrfs
08:43
there is huge file size difference though, 5.5G uncompressed, 1.5 squashfs, 3 btrfs zlib, 3.5 btrfs lzo
08:44
<alkisg>
Here I have 750 uncompressed, 400 btrfs, 250 squashfs
08:44
But I keep the btrfs one to 640 to be able to apt-get install things
08:45
<cyberorg>
5.5G uncompressed is a fatclient image

hello, I need to create an image for a thin client Schalther LX800, someone help me
11:22
<alkisg>
What's special about this client?
11:23
<Nilton>
I'm using ltsp-server 5.3.7 and Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
11:24
<alkisg>
And where are you having trouble?
11:26
<Nilton>
I'm having problems with the kernel, this thin client does not support kelnel father
11:26
<alkisg>
Which kernel do you have in the chroot? ls /opt/ltsp/images/boot/vmlin*
11:27
Sorry, this is the correct one: ls /opt/ltsp/i386/boot/vmlin*
11:28
cyberorg: I uploaded a newer version of the precise-i386.img file, now it's bootable with kvm, it has better defaults, updated programs, blacklisted grub, automatic ssh keys etc
11:28
It also has an embedded README, read it if you like
11:28
:)
11:29
<Nilton>

11:29
<cyberorg>
alkisg, thanks, will check it out soon
11:31
<alkisg>
Nilton: try with 12.04.1, I think its kernel supports LX800. Do you still have the 12.04 chroot?
11:32
<Nilton>
Yes, I have the chroot
11:32
<alkisg>
Run the command to tell me which kernel it has
11:32
ls /opt/ltsp/i386/boot/vmlin*
11:34
<Nilton>
vmlinuz-3.2.0-98-generic-pae
11:34
<alkisg>
It's pae, you need the non-pae version
11:34
Do you know how to install a non-pae kernel in the chroot?

11:35
<Nilton>
no
11:35
<alkisg>
You need something like:
11:35
sudo ltsp-chroot -m
11:35
apt-get install linux-image-generic
11:36
And then apt-get purge --auto-remove linux-image-generic-pae
11:36
Then exit, ltsp-update-image etc etc
11:36
How much RAM does the client have?
11:37
<Nilton>
ok, I will perform the procedure
11:39
512 if I'm not mistaken
11:58
<alkisg>
What is 512?
11:58
Ah sorry
11:59
OK, do that procedure, and if you can't manage it, you could also use that one instead:

<bennabiy>
alkisg: what kernel are you using for your btrfs support?
17:15
<alkisg>
bennabiy: the stock one, non-pae, that comes with 12.04.1
17:15
I think it's 3.2.0.98 now
17:15
<bennabiy>
nice.
17:15
How far along has btrfs stability come?
17:16
<alkisg>
I didn't have any issues with that chroot, but of course for the clients it's read-only
17:17
vagrantc: I saw a couple of bug reports of yours where you weren't able to use nbd-server's copyonwrite support. In the (looong) past, I was able to, but currently I tried with a btrfs image and I wasn't able...
17:17
Have you tried it recently? Did it work for you at any time?
17:18
cowdir works, and copyonwrite creates a 0-sized .diff file, but on the client side, it says it's write-protected
17:19
<bennabiy>
interesting
17:19
be right back

<alkisg>
ty, it will need debugging then...
17:25
<vagrantc>
alkisg: don't know that i ever had it working out of the box, whatever i was able to work should be in the bug reports
17:26
<alkisg>
I was able to make 64MB clients boot, and I was wondering if I could get it even lower by not using overlayfs on the client, but nbd-server's copyonwrite
17:26
Of course they won't be very usable with such low ram, but it'll make things go smoother on clients with more ram too
