01:10
<wizzy>
Looks good
01:11
<Capricorn^80>
ok i m on this step Installing the LTSP localdev support package.
01:13
then i download the rpm for LTSP localdev support package n i tried rpm -i <file> . i gave me some conflicting errors
01:13MoL0ToV has joined #ltsp
01:13
<Capricorn^80>
i paste the errors
01:13
in pvt to u
01:14
<wizzy>
remove all the conflicting packages like ltsp_ltspfs-4.2.0-0.k12ltsp.5.0.0 - "rpm --erase package"
01:15
Did you do a from-scratch install of K12LTSP, or is this an upgrade ?
01:15
<Capricorn^80>
hmm .. my server is working now n users are online .. i m afraid that this will create some problem
01:16
<wizzy>
I have not used K12LTSP - maybe everything is there already ?
01:16
<Capricorn^80>
my k12ltsp was working from 2 months
01:16
just having usb problems
01:16
user can mount it fine . n after some time some users gets problem
01:17
<wizzy>
Start with the Troubleshooting section - assume everything is installed ?
01:17
<Capricorn^80>
as usb dont show any data
01:17
yes
01:17
<wizzy>
There was a problem regarding second use of USB on client - maybe that is the bug ?
01:18
So - it sometimes works, then does not, reboot the client it works agian ?
01:18
<Capricorn^80>
no it didnt
01:18
<wizzy>
It never worked ?
01:18
<Capricorn^80>
yes
01:19
<wizzy>
Step through the troubleshooter
01:19
<Capricorn^80>
when u insert usb . The Kingston folder appears on Desktop n when u open it dont have any text
01:19
it dont have any files or data
01:20
<wizzy>
Step through the troubleshooter
01:20
<Capricorn^80>
n size show by usb is 22.0 GB which is user home size
01:21
i did troubleshooter too
01:21
<wizzy>
what step did you get to ?
01:21
<Capricorn^80>
let me do it again
01:30
starting from step 2
01:30
my version is 4.3 upadtes
01:30
i got result for step 3 .. all works fine
01:31
step 4: i didnt get any hostname as i user dynamic configuration n didnt assign hostname to ip's
01:31
step 5 output : yes i m getting it like /tmp/drives/KINGSTONG autop rw, noatime 0,0
01:33
<wizzy>
Step 4 might be a problem - you should have reverse lookups in /etc/hosts, and dhcp should allocate names
01:40
From the shell, can you see the files ? cd /tmp/drives ; ls -R
01:43
<Capricorn^80>
yes
01:46
<wizzy>
step 7,8,9,10 ?
01:46
<Capricorn^80>
wait
01:48
step 7 : yes getting 102 (fuse)
01:48
step : lbussd deamon is working
01:49
step 9 : getting error lsmod : command not found
01:50
<wizzy>
Use /sbin/lsmod
01:50
<Capricorn^80>
step 10 : output is ws148.Ltsp:1.0
01:52
step 9: getting output . fuse 45269 4
01:53
<wizzy>
good
01:53
<Capricorn^80>
i guess every thing is working fine
01:53
<wizzy>
step 11 ?
01:54
<Capricorn^80>
i did that n execute the command /usr/sbin/lbus_event ......................
01:54
tmp folder was created on desktop
01:55
n there was file with name tmp of home/Drives
01:56
<wizzy>
seems good. If you plug in a USB stick, can you see it ? How is the USB stick formatted ? sda, or sda1 ? It must be sda1
01:57
<Capricorn^80>
wait let me complete step 11
01:57
n i tried command mount
01:57
i got output
01:59
ltspfs on /home/username/Drives/tmp type fuse (rw,nosuid)
01:59
i dont know sbalneav is username or some thing else
01:59
<wizzy>
yes sbalneav is a username
02:00
<Capricorn^80>
ok
02:00
then its fine
02:00
<wizzy>
How is the USB stick formatted ? sda, or sda1 ?
02:00
<Capricorn^80>
i got output of multiple users after using mount
02:00
<wizzy>
fdisk -l /dev/sda
02:05
<Capricorn^80>
i execute this command using roor n output is
02:06
... /dev/sda1 start =1 end= 261 block 209645 id = 82 system = linux swap / solaris
02:07
also there is option boot = *
02:10
<wizzy>
That looks like your USB stick is badly formatted ??
02:10
<Capricorn^80>
which options tell u about this information
02:10
<wizzy>
I would like "system = vfat" or Windows 95
02:11
<Capricorn^80>
i have formatted it on windows
02:11
with FAT32
02:11
y its showing linux swap / solaris ?
02:11
<wizzy>
Why does it say linux swap / solaris ?
02:12
<Capricorn^80>
i have use this usb on solaris 9 n 10
02:12
<wizzy>
Maybe you formatted /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1
02:12
partition type for solaris is the same as linux swap
02:12
82
02:12
<Capricorn^80>
i just insert it on solaris n copy data
02:13
<wizzy>
Is there a file on the USB stick ?
02:13
<Capricorn^80>
yes
02:13
<wizzy>
Do you have solaris ?
02:13
<Capricorn^80>
but listen
02:13
i have sun systems
02:13
one more confussion is going on
02:13
i would like to address that
02:14
<wizzy>
When the stick is in the client, can you see the file on the stick ?
02:14
cd /tmp/Drives ; ls -R
02:15
<Capricorn^80>
i think my this confussion answers u
02:15
<wizzy>
If you type mount, does it report /dev/sda1 ?
02:15
<Capricorn^80>
i have 2 users saji , fozia .. this usb that i have now works fine on saji . but when i use it on login fozia this usb files are not there but KINGSTON folder appears on Desktop . but it got 3 files which are not in my usb
02:18
<wizzy>
reboot fozia client ? Does it work after ?
02:19
<Capricorn^80>
wait let me tell u message of mount

<Capricorn^80>

02:23Kodex has joined #ltsp

02:28
<Capricorn^80>
things like /dev/hda2 on /type ext3 .. proc on /proc n more .. n in last line .. ltspfs on /home/fozia /Drives/My Floppy type fuse ...
02:29
but one more thing
02:29
when i got to shell .. i can usb mounting messages like this
02:29muh2000 has quit IRC
02:29
<Capricorn^80>
scsi device sda ........... , sda : write protected off
02:29
<wizzy>
What does "mount" say ?
02:29
<Capricorn^80>
sda : sda1
02:30
<Capricorn^80> things like /dev/hda2 on /type ext3 .. proc on /proc n more .. n in last line .. ltspfs on /home/fozia /Drives/My Floppy type fuse ...
02:30
<wizzy>
mount on the client, not the server
02:30
<Capricorn^80>
thats report is when i login from fozia user n write mount on terminal
02:31
i m not client
02:31
sorry
02:31
<wizzy>
Ctrl-Alt-F1
02:31
<Capricorn^80>
i mean to say i m on client
02:31
not on server
02:31
yes
02:31
<wizzy>
But /dev/hda2 is not on the client
02:32
Do you have a hard disk on the client ?
02:32
<Capricorn^80>
no
02:32
<wizzy>
then the mount command you ran was on the server
02:32
What does Ctrl-Alt-F1 do ?
02:33
<Capricorn^80>
well i m on client thin station .. 300 Mhz dell .. n login from user fozia
02:33
<wizzy>
I know
02:33
What does Ctrl-Alt-F1 do ?
02:33
<Megant_>
change to virtual console number one
02:33
<wizzy>
Nothing ?
02:33
text screen ?
02:33
<Capricorn^80>
linux interface
02:33
<Megant_>
wizzy: yes
02:34
<Capricorn^80>
no linux login interface
02:34
<wizzy>
Good - you need to be there, no on X
02:34
Do you have a login prompt ?
02:34
<Capricorn^80>
yes
02:34
<Megant_>
it is on the client
02:34
if you want to login you should chroot on server and adduser
02:35
<Capricorn^80>
my Screen_02 is shell
02:35
<wizzy>
edit (on the server now - Ctrl-Alt-F2 will get you there) /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd
02:35
<Megant_>
(because root is mounted over nfs without write permissions)
02:35
you could just copy that password from somewhere
02:35
<wizzy>
find the root password entry, take out the ! from the passwd field
02:36
<Capricorn^80>
wait wait .. i m not getting it
02:36
whats the problem .. plz address again
02:36
<wizzy>
You need to log in from the client text console
02:37
the easiest way is to make the root account (on the client) have no password
02:37
In /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd (or wherever on K12LTSP)
02:38MoL0ToV has joined #ltsp

<Capricorn^80>
listen there is some things going on in my mind .. n i not getting 100 % wat u r saying .. let me clear some thing
02:39
i know i have enable the shell which give root access only
02:39
n i will disable it after trouble shooting
02:39
<wizzy>
OK - do that then. I like to have both - text and graphics
02:40
<Capricorn^80>
i didnt provide shell to users
02:40
its only for my testing right now
02:40
so i think i should forget this root passwd thing now
02:40
<wizzy>
SCREEN_01 = shell ; SCREEN_02 = startx
02:41
<Capricorn^80>
mine is SCREEN_01 = startx ; SCREEN_02 = shell
02:41
now i think we were at mount point
02:41
n i paste u the output of that
02:42
should we proceed after that
02:42MoL0ToV has quit IRC
02:42
<wizzy>
From the shell on the client, with the USB stick plugged in, what does "mount" say ?
02:42
<Capricorn^80>
as no /dev/sda1 is there when i write mount with user login fozia on linux interface i.e on Start X
02:43MoL0ToV has joined #ltsp
02:43
<wizzy>
I want shell result
02:43
On startx it should say "fuse"
02:45
<Capricorn^80>
From the shell on the client ... well on shell my id is root
02:45
<wizzy>
fine
02:45
what does "mount" say ?
02:45
(skip all the tmpfs stuff)
02:47
<Capricorn^80>
ok
02:48
rootfs on /type root fs (rw) .. none on / type rmfs (rw) .. 192.168.0.254:/op/ltsp-4.2/i386 on /nfsroot ... none on /sys .. none on proc .. none on /proc/bus/usb type usbf (rw)
02:49
.. means lin break
02:50
.. means line break
02:50
<wizzy>
Is the USB stick in ?
02:50
<Capricorn^80>
yes
02:51
<wizzy>
Hmm - that tells me the USB stick is not mounted ?? Reboot the client and try again ? I want to see /dev/sda1 on /tmp/Drives/KINGSTON or something
02:53
<Capricorn^80>
listen it was working i.e /tmp/Drives/KINGSTON
02:53
<wizzy>
but "mount" does not report it ??
02:53
<Capricorn^80>
not now
02:53
<wizzy>
I think that is a problem
02:53
<Capricorn^80>
listen
02:54
until i use command /user/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh remove block /tmp 1024 .............. i guess sooo
02:55
because i checked in step 3:
02:55
when i performed that
02:55ao_ has joined #ltsp

<ao_>
good morning
02:55
<Capricorn^80>
ok listen now
02:56
i can access cd /tmp/drives/
02:56
ls
02:56
<wizzy>
I do not have a setup I can check now, but I think mount should report your USB stick
02:56
<Capricorn^80>
KINGSTON
02:56
<wizzy>
Can you try the same on the other client (that works ?) You should not need to log in.
02:57
<ao_>
i want to have local drive access from rdesktop (no remote X)
02:58
<Capricorn^80>
i did that just now
02:58
let me have his result
02:58
<wizzy>
"mount" ?
02:58
<ao_>
is there a way to automatically mount /tmp/drives/*
02:58
?
02:58
<Capricorn^80>
yes
02:59
ltspfs on /home/saji/Drives/KINGSTON type fuse ........
03:00
<wizzy>
That is the server, not the client. shell please ..
03:00
<Capricorn^80>
i m on linux gnome n login with user saji
03:00
ok
03:00
same result
03:01
the one i pasted u b4
03:01
<Capricorn^80> rootfs on /type root fs (rw) .. none on / type rmfs (rw) .. 192.168.0.254:/op/ltsp-4.2/i386 on /nfsroot ... none on /sys .. none on proc .. none on /proc/bus/usb type usbf (rw)
03:01
listen
03:01
<wizzy>
OK - I can't help as I do not have a setup I can look at here
03:01
<Capricorn^80>
i m login with user saji on gnome .. y u called it as server ?
03:02
n on shell where my id is root .. u called it as client
03:02
<wizzy>
If you are logged in, you are on the server.
03:02
<Capricorn^80>
y so
03:02
<wizzy>
The client has only one account - root.
03:02
<ao_>
or what is the official way to have local devices on rdesktop? and NOT mount /tmp/drives/* by hand?
03:02
<wizzy>
It has no knowledge of saji
03:03
ao_: I do not use rdesktop
03:04
<Capricorn^80>
ao_: i guess u want your local drives on windows ???
03:04
wizzy : wat to do next :P:P:P
03:04
<ao_>
Capricorn^80: yes, exactly
03:04
<Capricorn^80>
well all think work fine
03:04
ao_: i guess not possible yet .. they are working on it
03:04
but u have to user linux for that
03:05
<ao_>
Capricorn^80: thanks. Then i will write a little shell script to do the mounts
03:05
<Capricorn^80>
wizzy : all my steps are working except one i.e hostname
03:06
<ao_>
Capricorn^80: i tried to make users familiar with gnome....gues what the result was :((
03:07
<Capricorn^80>
well on my end . every one is working on linux :P .. coz users like its color etc .. a few use windows for little work
03:07
ao_: if u got success in mouting local device on windows do let me know
03:07
wizzy: any other idea ???
03:08
<ao_>
OK
03:11
<Capricorn^80>
wizzy: i m thinking some thing .. let me share it with u .. when u login from fozia n insert any usb it always show 3 files in KINGSTON .. these 3 files are not in that usb
03:11
wizzy: u there ?
03:12
it means its showing some static data
03:12
<wizzy>
log in as fozia on the other terminal ? are there two ?
03:13
<Capricorn^80>
same result
03:13
<wizzy>
It might be another partition on the USB stick, or the raw drive (/dev/sda)
03:13
<Capricorn^80>
i tried that
03:13
<wizzy>
I would wipe the USB stick, reformat, try again
03:14
<Capricorn^80>
well as i told u its always showing 3 files n one thing more when i open it it show me 22.5 GB
03:14
<wizzy>
I do not think the hostname thing is a problem if the other steps work
03:14
<Capricorn^80>
which is i think home drive size
03:14
<wizzy>
what size does fozia say ?
03:15Mathesis has joined #ltsp

Hi. Is it possible to run GDM (XDMCP) on a different Machine?
03:26
<wizzy>
zege: Yes - SERVER variable in lts.conf
03:32
<zege>
wizzy: when i set SERVER to my gdm server, then there will be no problem with booting from a different server?

Is it possible to use the nfs-user-sever instead of the nsf-kernel-server? Because i use Xen to virtualize my ltsp server, and the xen Kernel does not support the nfs-kernel-server.
05:07Kodex has left #ltsp
05:08
<zege>
hmm nobody in here who knows?
05:09
<ao_>
yes, that does not matter
05:09
but check that the nfs server supports tcp, since udp can be a mess sometimes
05:10
<zege>
and what is when my nfs server is up, but i can't access it from other machines? /etc/exports is default ltsp
05:10
it says: permission denied
05:10
<ao_>
this is a issue of your userland nfs server then, check the logfiles
05:11
<zege>
ok thx
05:11ogra has joined #ltsp

ao_: do you know where nfs doeslog? /var/log/dmesg or syslog?
05:13
<ao_>
to syslog

can i use a laptop with pcmcia network card as a ltsp client ?
06:05
<cliebow>
sort of
06:06

booting the machine with that kernel ..and putting the kernel modules in /opt/ltsp/i386 will work

I'm having a problem with stale X sessions. If a user turns off an LTS client before they have logged out, when they next log in, they do not get a clean session -- the icons are false, for example, under Gnome. I also see some processes still running under the users name on the LTS server after they have turned off the client before logging out. Is there some way to detect that the client has been turned off and that the users X session
09:30
should be completely stopped?
09:35
<ao_>
you can write a script to inspect the tcp socket connection to the display server

psycodad: which pkg did you use?
09:45
there were some changes needed between LTSP 4.1 and 4.2
09:45
<insel_affe>
Okay, I write a script to poll the socket, and that would tell me when a client has gone off line. How would I know which users, if any, had X sessions running from that client prior to going off line? (I wouldn't want to kill X sessions from users on other clients that are still on-line.) Should I write a script for each client that writes, say, a little `lock' file in /var/run/lts which associates a user and an IP address each time a u
09:45
ser starts an X session? I could then use these lock files to tell if a now off-line client had any stale X sessions. Or is there a more elegant way to do this?
09:46
<Gadi>
insel_affe: you can do what I do and just have a login script that does: pkill -9 -u $USER ;)
09:47
no fancy footwork required

They had installed FreeBSD since I was there on Monday, so I started over
10:27
I don't like FC's lvm on small single-disk systems, and just set the partitions manually
10:28
Don't know if that was the key or not, but after install, it booted right up.
10:29
started over = reinstalled k12ltsp

<pscheie>
cliebow_: you mean lvm is overkill on small systems?
10:37
<cliebow_>
yeah..and hard to recover from
10:37
<pscheie>
definitely, that's the main reason I don't use it
10:38
it's rather ironic because years ago I used to whine about linux's lack of lvm
10:38
and about the time it got it, disks had gotten so big and cheap that I concluded that lvm wasn't necessary
10:38
and was actually a potential weakness.
10:39
<cliebow_>
i never much cared for k12 myself..though eric's scripts are way cool
10:39
<pscheie>
So, just as back then, I still do my partitions manually as just straight primary or extended partitions
10:39
I like the inclusion of the kde edu stuff

or read the Readme.txt - thats why its there
12:42
<mrlinux>
ok the files are in the folder
12:43
how do i make it global

<Gadi>
now, remove your users' .mozilla file (its in your home directory)
12:45
and then, launch firefox and see if your plugin is there
12:45
<mrlinux>
i dont see a .mozilla file
12:47
<Gadi>
it is a directory
12:47
rm -rf ~/.mozilla
12:48
<mrlinux>
ok i just ran that command
12:48
so start firefox
12:48
and see if the plugin is there right
12:48
<Gadi>
y
12:50
<mrlinux>
says there is no plugin for flash
12:51
<Gadi>
when you ran the installer, where did it install the plugins to?
12:51
<mrlinux>
i didn't run the installer i copyied the files to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
12:55
ok i ran the installer

any hints finding smp kernel for edgy..this dual is only seeing one proc
14:49
forget it
14:50
<jamest>
hello, i'm trying to use the ltsp-sound scripts from the wiki sound page and have hit some issues, are these still the files to use with 4.2?
14:55
<cliebow_>
jamest: those are ..but ther continue to be unresolved issues which make it kind of a pain to work with..
14:55
<Gadi>
what desktop, jamest?
14:55
do you use gnome?
14:55
<jamest>
kubuntu edgy
14:56
i few oddies i've hit that needed fixing
14:56
<Gadi>
if you can get kde to use esd, you should be home free for the most part
14:56
<jamest>
it uses a which nc to check for netcat but then hardcodes /usr/bin/nc which is at /bin/nc
14:57
<cliebow_>
Gadi: i have a dual cpu machine only seeing one..with latest kernel
14:57
<jamest>
and the rc.sound script properly setting esd to -public on the client
14:57
<cliebow_>
you come across this/
14:57
<Gadi>
are you using an smp kernel?
14:57
<cliebow_>
i apt ed linus 686 smp
14:57
<Gadi>
or "server" kernel as they like to call them
14:58
<cliebow_>
but it load a generic
14:58
<Gadi>
and when you run top, you press '1' after running it?
14:58
<cliebow_>
well cat /proc/cpuinfo
14:58
i cpu i cvan see
14:59
<Gadi>
uname -r
15:00
<cliebow_>
2,6,17-10-386
15:00
apt-cache search didnt show anything interesting
15:02
<Gadi>
ur not running the server kernel
15:02
u need the server kernel for smp
15:02
<ogra>
not really
15:02
the 686 kernel should do
15:04meduxa has quit IRC
15:04
<cliebow_>
i did apt-get update kernel-smp-686
15:04
something like that'
15:05
but it picked 2.6.17-10-386
15:07
<ogra>
you are usig edgy already ?
15:07
<cliebow_>
yes
15:08
<ogra>
then try linux-image-generic
15:08
<cliebow_>
in a small school
15:08
i just did
15:08
already the latest
15:09
it is of course pissible i am down a cpu..
15:09
the machine is quite new
15:09
<jamest>
cliebow_: kinda off the wall, but the xen kernel images are also smp
15:09
in edgy
15:09
<ogra>
cliebow_, are you running the -generic kernel ?
15:09
uname -a
15:10
<cliebow_>
well i apt got kernel-smp-686
15:10
<ogra>
what does uame -a give you ?
15:10
*uname
15:10
<cliebow_>
linux-image-generic says i already have the latest
15:10
something just died
15:11
2.6.17-10-386
15:11
<ogra>
aha
15:11
so you are not running -generic
15:12
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.17-10-386
15:12
reboot
15:12
and you should be done
15:14
<cliebow_>
here we go..God help us
15:15
menu.lst looked good though
15:19
<jamest>
cliebow_: when you said unresolved issues with ltsp-sound
15:19
<cliebow_>
where the heck is she?
15:20
<jamest>
were you talking w/ the ltsp-sound.sh script itself? or something else
15:20
<cliebow_>
jammcq is handy..perhaps he can answer you better
15:20
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
15:21
Cool..Now i have four processors
15:23
One hck of a lot zippier..
15:25
<Gadi>
jamest: go into the KDE control panel and tell it to use esd for the sound output
15:25
that should take you a long way
15:25
<cliebow_>
ogra: that was weird...certainly worked though.. i Know
15:25
<ogra>
cliebow_, ;)
15:25
<cliebow_>
i was running 2.6.17-7 when i saw the prob
15:26
anyway..much appreciated 8~)
15:39J45p3r has joined #ltsp
15:41
<vagrantc>
ogra: so... we've got some long-standing differences of opinion with these merges :P
15:42
<ogra>
heh
15:42* vagrantc looks around for upstream
15:42
<ogra>
there were not many conflicts though
15:42
<vagrantc>
only 12.
15:42
<ogra>
whats your prob ?
15:43
only some .po files and indeed the control file
15:43
i think i simply accepted most of your stuff ...
15:43
https://code.launchpad.net/people/ogra/+branch/ltsp/feisty-fat-clients btw
15:44
(just created)
15:44
<vagrantc>
anything in it?
15:44
<ogra>
the first fragments of the fat-client plugin
15:44
missing the /home and ldap handling
15:45
<vagrantc>
pretty easy to do an unauthenticated kiosk mode, for starters.
15:45
<ogra>
and i think we have a small memory prob with it ... the default for nbdswapd should be raised
15:45
well, i have complete netbooted workstations on the list for feisty
15:45
<vagrantc>
we should implement the "grab as many nbd's as needed" idea.
15:45
<ogra>
either that or just switch to a different default if --workstation is used
15:46
<vagrantc>
i think the grab multiple nbd stuff is far more flexible.
15:46
<ogra>
with fat clients you can run hundrets of clients on one server
15:46
the load is on the clients ...
15:46
<vagrantc>
and not real hard to implement.
15:46
<ogra>
so you can easily add 100-200 clients ...
15:46
<vagrantc>
yeah. i'm trying to get folks at freegeek to switch to ... fat diskless clients
15:46
<ogra>
imagine every client demading 256M swap
15:47
that would give you an hilarious amound of nbd-servers
15:47
*amount
15:47
<vagrantc>
i suppose.
15:47
should handle both situations.
15:47
<ogra>
so for that mode i'd suggest a different default like 128M
15:47
but keep the multiple nbd's for thin clients
15:48* vagrantc considers yet another rewrite of ldm's get_config_bool function
15:48
<ogra>
i can run my fat client with 32M for about two days, then it runs out of mem, so i think we wont go with small swap space here
15:49
heh, i kept it because i know it works and yours didnt work back when i tried
15:49
but i'm open to try again, i just didnt want to introduce additional breakage
15:49
<vagrantc>
i think we should use a dictionary rather than a for loop ... but that's trivial.
15:49
<ogra>
i'll have nough to do to fix the package tomorrow
15:50
<vagrantc>
ogra: so, in client/ldm ... always including -M -S /tmp/.ltspfs-socket in ssh_opts :(
15:50
<ogra>
i guess the locale stuff needs some attention... you split out a lot of functions to plugins i'll need to link etc
15:50
ah, right, i can change that
15:50
no prob
15:51
<vagrantc>
what's the "static localdev support" stuff?
15:51
<ogra>
dunno why your change wasnt jus merged here ... must be because i editied it out back then
15:51
??
15:51
static localdev ?
15:51
ahh, right, floppies and builtin CDs iirc
15:51
<vagrantc>
/var/run/.static-device ....
15:51
<ogra>
ask sbalneav, he wote that part
15:52
its handled like the already mounted devices
15:52
<vagrantc>
always tacking .UTF-8 onto the language settings will cause problems in debian.
15:52
<ogra>
fix it then, ubuntu doesnt have any non UTF-8 locales anymore
15:53
and i thought debian would as well switch with etch
15:53
<vagrantc>
there is more to the world than ubuntu :P
15:53
<ogra>
patches accepted to adjust the world then ;)
15:54
have you looked at jetpipe ?
15:54
<vagrantc>
well, if we're going to work together, it shouldn't always be me adapting ubuntu code to work with debian.
15:54
not yet.
15:54
the upstream code should be distro-independent.
15:55
<ogra>
well, i'll adapt your code as well ... i simply hae no debian around ...
15:55
*have
15:55
and i wasnt aware that debian still uses ISO when implemented it in ubuntu
15:56
the upstream code isnt distro independent as long as we dont have any common buildsystem in place ...
15:56
<vagrantc>
ogra: well, in the debian branch, which you merged, at some point the UTF-8 hard-coding was removed.
15:56
<ogra>
as long as we rely on the debian dir and dpkg ...
15:56* vagrantc thinks there shoudl be an ubuntu dir
15:56
<ogra>
tahts fine ...
15:57
there should be neither of these dirs in the upstream package
15:57
but somehow muecow requires it
15:57
<vagrantc>
i don't see why upstream shouldn't work with distros to keep everything in one place.
15:59
<ogra>
because yo need weird hacks for it ?
15:59
<vagrantc>
shouldn't need weird hacks ...
15:59
<ogra>
well, having two distro packaging dirs is a weird hack
16:00
<vagrantc>
in this case, ubuntu using a "debian" dir seems to be the hack :P
16:00
<ogra>
i know about 10 ubuntu derivatives at least that ship ltsp ... i wouldnt want a baltix or ichtux dir
16:01
anyway, got to go, susie is waiting (i'm working since 13h)
16:01
<vagrantc>
live well
16:02
<ogra>
see your tomorrow, i'll look over the missing bits ...
16:02
<Gadi>
hey, vagrantc, how would you feel about adding the LTSP 4.2 xorg.conf creation scripts as a n option for ltsp-client-setup?
16:02
<ogra>
eek
16:03
<Gadi>
you already have 2 options
16:03
<vagrantc>
Gadi: i don't understand, really ...
16:03
<Gadi>
right now, you use dexconf or dpkg-reconfigure
16:03
<ogra>
Gadi, muecow should use the distro specific approach
16:03
<Gadi>
but both are slow and lacking :(
16:03
<ogra>
thats a matter of the Xorg package maintainers
16:04
<Gadi>
why cant upstream have an option?
16:04
<ogra>
the target of muecow is to drop maintenance for such stuff
16:05
<Gadi>
hmm...
16:05
<ogra>
Gadi, discuss it with jammcq, but i really think its the wrong approach and somewhat counter productive to muecow
16:05
<Gadi>
I see your point
16:05
<vagrantc>
Gadi: i'd entertain the idea, mainly because it is really slow. but conceptually i agree with ogra.
16:05
<Gadi>
I agree, too
16:05
do any of the automagic options allow presseding with device options?
16:06
<ogra>
if jammcq asks me to do it and agrees then i'll indeed accept patches ... but i made my point i think
16:06
<Gadi>
er, preseeding?
16:06
<ogra>
what kind of device ?
16:06
<Gadi>
say video card device options
16:06
<ogra>
partially ...
16:07
<Gadi>
hmm...
16:07
<ogra>
usually the tenor for ubuntu here is "fix the driver to do the right thing" instead of adding extra options
16:07
and afaik that what upstream X is aiming for as well
16:08
i.e. there is no xorg.conf anymore in the ost recent version
16:08
*most
16:09
feisty will likely come out with that version ...
16:09
<Gadi>
thats great, if all of the drivers magically do the right thing
16:09
<ogra>
s ubuntu ltsp will use the freedesktop.org mechanims for HW detection then
16:09
<Gadi>
its when they don't that life sucks for the end user
16:10
<ogra>
complain at upstream ... :) their decision
16:10* vagrantc still poses the question how a driver can do the right thing for hardware from the future
16:10
<ogra>
apt-get install time-travel-device ;)
16:11
<vagrantc>
ogra: what are *you* still doing here :P
16:11
<ogra>
Gadi, kept me around with his ideas :)
16:11
anyway ... i'm off for now :)

i've done much of the ltsp work in debian.

ah.
20:46
<Mathesis>
mi server tiene 184 en memoria ram + cpu 700 mhz
20:46
mis clientes ligeros cpu 450 mhz + 184 en ram
20:47
que opinas de mi hardware es muy minimo
20:48
<vagrantc>
muy minimo, si. pero, es possible.
20:49
<Mathesis>
es poible que trabaje bien
20:49
es un server y 2 clientes
20:49
1 server + 2 clientes
20:49
<vagrantc>
solo 2?
20:49
<Mathesis>
por aho si
20:49
*por ahora si
20:49
<vagrantc>
pienso es mejor mas memorias en el servidor.
20:49
<Mathesis>
que me recomiendas tu?
20:50
256 en el server puedo poner
20:50
<vagrantc>
clienties necesita solo 64-128.
20:51
es possible usar memorias de clienties en el servidor?
20:51Stevec has left #ltsp
20:51
<Mathesis>
el server puede usar la memoria del cliente?
20:51
<vagrantc>
quantos clienties en el futuro?
20:52
<Mathesis>
10 pero maximizaria el hardare del server
20:53
<vagrantc>
memoria es muy importante.
20:54
<Mathesis>
por cada cliente el server debe contar con 128 de memoria ram
20:54
vagrantc: check its web http://ndiyo.org/systems
