<Hyperbyte>
Is there any reason for not setting SCREEN_01=ldm?
07:47
Currently SCREEN_07=ldm and in kernel options there's the vt.handoff=7 in my setup but it's having some issues.
07:50
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: in vt1 there are the startup messages and a vt for root login
07:51
So setting screen_01=ldm on top of a getty may cause input issues
07:51
vt.handoff is for grub, not using in pxelinux
07:51
I removed it from the ltsp code a few years ago
07:51

<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, so what do I do if users have to press ctrl+alt+f7 on startup?
11:34
I added vt.handoff but that doesn't seem to work
11:35
<vagrantc>
might be a sign that somehow the filesystem isn't writeable
11:35* vagrantc has seen that before
11:35
<Hyperbyte>
I do think these problems started only when I added 'quiet splash' to the kernel startup line
11:35
<alkisg>
(02:34:51 μμ) Hyperbyte: I added vt.handoff but that doesn't seem to work ==> didn't I say that this doesn't work and we completely removed it from the code?
11:36
Hyperbyte: paste the output of `getltscfg -a` on the client
11:36
In general, the highest vt gets to be the default,unless you use LDM_DEFAULT=07 etc
11:36
or default_screen however we call that one
11:39
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, you said that after I tried it. Obviously I tried fixing this myself before contact the Oracle.
11:39* vagrantc thinks SCREEN_DEFAULT
11:40
<Hyperbyte>
Interestingly, I can't reliably reproduce it. It seems to happen with some clients, but not all. I can't reproduce it on a VM PXE client for example.
11:43
http://razor.middelkoop.cc/~dj/ltsconf.png
11:46
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: and that's in 16.04?
11:46
Try with SCREEN_DEFAULT=07, although it sounds like a race condition
11:47
You can also stop using SCREEN_02 completely, and use something like this:
11:47
!ROOT_PASSWORD_HASH
11:47
<ltsp>
ROOT_PASSWORD_HASH: to be able to login as root in vt1, with password "qwer1234", put this in lts.conf: INIT_COMMAND_01="sed 's!^root:[^:]*:!root:$6$p2LdWE6j$PDd1TUzGvvIkj9SE8wbw1gA/MD66tHHlStqi1.qyv860oK47UnKcafSKqGp7cbgZUPlgyPv6giCVyCSCdJt1b0:!' -i /etc/shadow"
11:47
<alkisg>
This saves a bit RAM and is a bit more secure than SCREEN_02=shell, as it requires a login
11:50
<Hyperbyte>
That's 16.04
11:51
But user doesn't end up at screen_02
11:51
They stay at screen 01
11:51
<alkisg>
LTSP hasn't caught up with the systemd way of starting services yet
11:51
<Hyperbyte>
I can remove screen_02 completely, I added it for getltscfg
11:51
<alkisg>
So you normally don't specify any screens at all, yet you get this issue?
11:52
<Hyperbyte>
I specify SCREEN_07=ldm
11:52
I could remove that as well though.
11:53
Shall I remove the vt.handoff=7 as well?
11:53
<alkisg>
Yes that's not supposed to be there at all
11:53
You probably have an older version of update-kernels.conf
11:53
Btw note that you shouldn't be using LDM_XSESSION
11:54
<Hyperbyte>
LDM_SESSION="mate-session"?
11:56* vagrantc is really tempted to replace LDM_XSESION with a hard-coded value, as it's so consistantly being abused
11:57
<vagrantc>
except, ugh... don't really want to work on LDM
11:57
<alkisg>
+1 :D
11:58
Hyperbyte: normally, no other sessions are there, so why specify it..
11:58
Let it pick up the default, which should be that one

12:00
<vagrantc>
it arguably saves a tiny number of filesystem calls to explicitly set SCREEN_07=ldm

as opposed to the european RDP protocol ?

I ran ltsp-build-client --purge-chroot. It ran for quite a while, and then ended with "No LTSP chroots found, please run ltsp-build-client.
21:14
error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally". Yet i still have a full /opt/ltsp/amd64. Isn't that where the chroot env is, and shouldn't it then be empty?
21:17ricotz has left IRC (ricotz!~ricotz@ubuntu/member/ricotz, Quit: Leaving)

<vagrantc>
using --purge-chroot will purge the existing chroot before creating it, and then create a new one
