<Leolo_2>
ok, my real question : what and how is /home/USER being mounted ?
16:59
<||cw>
sshfs
16:59
"mount" should show you that
16:59
<Leolo_2>
I know it's sshfs, but I want to know how it's being launched
17:00
<||cw>
IIRC, via hooks into the greeter/login process. been a long time since I bothered looking
17:01
<Leolo_2>
so hooks in ldm?
17:04
other question : how does one get the source code to a .deb?

17:36
<Leolo_2>
the first
17:37
maybe the later, depending on how much work it will be
17:37
if it's to much work imma say "fuck this" and go with drbl

wow, ldm is clever
17:50
it uses ssh to test a password, not pam
17:50
I'm.... I'm conflicted on how safe this is
17:51
but it is clever
17:51
what's more, it opens a control channel and sshfs uses that

my understanding is that getting all the pam bits to play together so it can be done trait up pam has been a challenge, but it's finally close
18:05
and ltsp6 has a "just use pam" goal
18:17

Leolo_2: I think the most difficult part will be getting dracut to work, you should probably look at how gentoo did that part, in upstream ltsp

The rest of it, like ldm etc, should probably work fine as it is even in centos

ltsp 6 won't be implemented very soon, but we might be able to do some ground work in the debconf in the summer

<lbssousa>
alkisg: is your multiseat setup working as expected now?
19:41
<alkisg>
Hi lbssousa
19:41
I only tried the dual gpu approach so far
19:41
It's working fine!
19:42
I haven't yet checked if I'll support it to ltsp as it is now, or if I'll wait for ltsp 6 when we'll be using lightdm
19:42
I'd like to also try the xephyr approach, but I'm not sure on how to start there, I think I'll need a few wrappers to launch one lightdm per xephyr window?
19:43
and one central xorg?
19:43
Do you have such wrappers handy for sharing?
19:43
<lbssousa>
Yes. I'll send them to you later.
19:43
<alkisg>
Cool, thanks a lot

lbssousa: I do have a question about the dual gpu setup though
19:44
When I was running glxgears in one screen, and a game in the other, I got a gpu crash,
19:44
...and I'm wondering, do those 2 gpus need to cooperate much/
19:44
is it more unstable in general than plain xorg with 1 gpu?
19:45
<lbssousa>
It may be related to your drivers. Which model is your offboard video card?
19:46
<alkisg>
It was the onboard one, intel i5, that crashed
19:46
But it might also be related to the window manager etc
19:46
<lbssousa>
Maybe.

That's the pci-e one, it's old
19:47
But in general, you don't get such crashes, do you?
19:48
<lbssousa>
I don't get even graphical acceleration in all seats :)
19:48
My offboard video card is an old-fashion Silicon Motion SM501 PCI card.
19:49
One thing you may want to start working on is Epoptes broadcasting to all seats.
19:50
Do you remember https://bugs.launchpad.net/epoptes/+bug/978050 ?
19:51schlady has joined IRC (schlady!~schlady@ip1f111304.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de)
19:51
<alkisg>
lbssousa: wait, doesn't broadcasting work properly with 2 gpus?
19:52
<lbssousa>
Current epoptes-client system-wide instance is only able to handle a single display.
19:53
You need to hack epoptes gui.py to broadcast via user-wide instances.
19:53
<alkisg>
Gotcha, yup I remember now
19:54
Which isn't what we want in the thin client case
19:54
<lbssousa>
Yup
19:54
<alkisg>
As it will cause duplicate network bandwidth
19:55
<lbssousa>
You may need to improve epoptes-client system-wide instance to be able to handle multiple displays, or something similar.

19:56ben_roose has left IRC (ben_roose!~roose@roose.cs.wichita.edu, Quit: Leaving)
19:56
<alkisg>
I have a good plan there, to connect the user instances with the system instances, and then only the system instance with the epoptes daemon service
19:56
<lbssousa>
I guess this is *the* only missing feature to make Epoptes work 100% out-of-box in multiseat systems.
19:56
<alkisg>
But that's a big restructuring, so it'll have to wait for later

19:57
<alkisg>
daemon <=> system epoptes-client over net, and system <=> user epoptes client over local socket
19:57
(or dbus)
19:58
<lbssousa>
Interesting. Another missing feature is the ability to apply different aliases to each seat of a given host.
19:58
<alkisg>
In a while, epoptes and possibly also ltsp will start supporting systemd systems only
19:59
At that point, it'll be easier to rely on logind, seat information, etc
19:59
So the main reason I'm postponing that part is backwards compatibility, not actual work
20:00
<lbssousa>
What about branching off a new Epoptes 1.x series?

vagrantc: I tried multiseat with 2 gpus (without ltsp), it's incredibly easy nowadays with systemd and lightdm!
20:05
<vagrantc>
nice
20:05
so LTSP6 will finally support multiseat out of the box!
20:05
<alkisg>
And it works very well, with 3d acceleration and everything...
20:05
We'll need a couple of lts.conf ==> udev rules scripts, but yup, ltsp 6 will have that :)
