can anybody summarize the current state of multimedia on TCs under Edubuntu? e.g., "It works if you use esd", or "Wait for feisty", etc.

ogra: you there ?
08:02Kodex has joined #ltsp

<Darke->
As you may remember, i was here yesterday asking a few things.. Solved the problem doe, gdm.conf needed a bit of tweaking.
08:02Kodex has quit IRC
08:03
<Darke->
But now after getting ltsp to work perfectly on the "test server" wich was a SLES10 machine, well then i learned about ltsp5 (i used 4) being a part of edubuntu, and figured that might be the best thing for the real server.
08:04
So i did put up a server running Edubuntu (since afterall its gonna be used for students etc)
08:04
But im confused :P sure it took a while to get it to work on my SLES10 server, but atleast i knew what had to be done.
08:05
Here, im not sure if im even suposed to install any packages. Since it is integrated right ?
08:05
and there is no such thing as the old ltspcfg i used to execute to configure etc.
08:06
<cliebow_>
Darke-: not to preempt ogra..but have you apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone
08:06
<Darke->
there are some ltsp packages installed.
08:06
hm ok lemme check
08:06
<ogra>
right
08:06
ltsp is installed by default and you should have seen it building the client environment during install time
08:06
<Darke->
ah, there we go :)
08:07
<ogra>
if you used edgy and have a server with two network cards it should all work out of the box
08:07
<Darke->
was kinda anoying, prolly spent a whole day to get it to work on version 4, using ROM-floppy on a machine as a test thin-client etc.. then i install the "real" thing and i feel so lost ;)
08:08
hehe sounds.. booring ?
08:08
cuz thats the case.
08:08
<ogra>
if you want to make tweaks, edit the lts.conf file ... /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples/ has a lits of all valid values
08:08
*list
08:08
<Darke->
but what about tftp ? for hosting kernel
08:09
<ogra>
thats set up automatically ...
08:09
<Darke->
shoulnt there be a directory called /tftboot ?
08:09
O_O
08:09
<ogra>
nope
08:09
<Darke->
oh my
08:09
so, what do i point out for the client then ?
08:09
<ogra>
its a debian based system, /tftpboot isnt really LSB compliant ... :)
08:09
err
08:09
FHS
08:09
<Darke->
cuz im not using a "real" thin client atm, loading a machine with a ROM-floppy
08:10
<ogra>
in debian based systems its in 7var/lib/tftpboot
08:10
rom floppy is fine ...
08:10
etherboot is supported as well as PXE out of the box
08:10
<Darke->
yea im talking about pointing out static boot file
08:10
yea gonna use PXE later.
08:10Kodex has joined #ltsp
08:11
<Darke->
there we go, found it.
08:11
but if im using pxe boot you say i dont need to point out a boot file or anything ?
08:11
a kernel that is.
08:11
<ogra>
there is #edubuntu btw (for more specific OS questions)
08:12
<Darke->
ok, well thanks for the help. I should be fine now ;)
08:12
<ogra>
you shouldnt need to pchange *anything* :)
08:12
<Darke->
;(
08:12
basicly i could just go home ?
08:12
:P
08:13
so PXE will just work out of the box ? -.-
08:13
<ogra>
well, just start developing stuff for edubuntu if you get to bored ;)
08:13
<Darke->
what am i even here for.
08:13
<ogra>
as etherboot does, yes
08:13
see the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file it already selects the right image for you
08:14
<Darke->
hehe, soz :) edubuntu is really not my personally dist of choise
08:14
<ogra>
based on the kind of request that the dhcp server recieves
08:14
<cliebow_>
ogra: you elaborating on edsadmin for ubuntu-directory-server
08:14Stevec has joined #ltsp
08:14
<ogra>
well, was just a suggestion to beat the time :)
08:14
<Darke->
i use gentoo for private use. But this is a nice thing for the stundents, libary etc.
08:14
hehe
08:15
<ogra>
cliebow_, yeps, moquist did some awesome bugfixing work on it to work right with smbldap
08:15
<Darke->
Well im not payed to develop stuff for edubuntu, so cant really take your advice :)
08:15
<ogra>
Darke-, so port ltsp5 to gentoo then instead ;)
08:15
<Darke->
why would i want to do that ? :) im not gonna use it, not atm atleast.
08:16
<ogra>
i know dberkholz could need more helpers with his effort
08:16
<cliebow_>
cool..i started playing with it a little just recently
08:16
<Darke->
And for stundets Edubuntu is nice.
08:16
<ogra>
nice to hear
08:16
<Darke->
ogra: one more thing.
08:17
<cliebow_>
fotr admins edubuntu is nice too 8~)
08:17
<Darke->
You suggest i use ltps dm instead of lets say gdm ?
08:18
cliebow_: well, at work i use SLES10 for most servers.. and opensuse for desktop.. since afterall we are working with Novell.. but if i am to set up a ltsp enviroment for students edubuntu seems to be the perfect choise.
08:18
And gentoo is for private use :)
08:19
but anyway, ldm or gdm ?
08:19
i figured since there is a dm for ltsp it might be a better choise ?
08:19
<ogra>
ldm
08:19
<cliebow_>
Darke-: ive used all manner of redhat/fedora libranet and ubuntu
08:20
<ogra>
all development focus in ubuntu lies on ldm integration, so if you would run gdm you'd be lacking features
08:22
<Darke->
cliebow_: ok :) well i hated Suse at first, but for a "enterprise" SLES aint that bad really. I used debian before i went over to gentoo for personal use, when im setting up a personal machine i like gentoo cuz of tweaking.. i used to love debian cuz of apt.. but now that im used to portage.. theres no turning back ;P
08:22
ogra: understood, thx.
08:23
<cliebow_>
Darke-:that is good to know..ive had a gentoo iso in my hand for a few days wondering where to try it
08:24
<Darke->
hehe, you really should
08:24
be sure to read the handbook atleast 2 times before you do anything doe :)
08:25
<cliebow_>
8~): didnt know there WAS a handbook
08:25
<Darke->
then you should read it during install aswell.
08:25
oh my
08:25
<cliebow_>
i fly a little by the seat of the pants

08:30

hmm: i thought maybe there might be something issing in your environment to build the lbenvironment..but that seems not logical
08:35
<Darke->
ogra: hmm i got tftp-hpa installed
08:36
<ogra>
yep, thats right
08:37
<Darke->
is there something new in edubuntu ? ;P
08:37
<ogra>
??
08:37
<Darke->
cuz i dont seem to have any binary's for tftpd :P
08:37
<ogra>
define "new"
08:38
try: which in.tftpd ;)
08:39
and its started by inetd, so you can find it in inetd.conf indeed

09:27
<cstextiles>
Thanks cliebow_: I atleast got some changes to do. I mean some changes which may/may not clear the errors which I have. I mean adding lines like option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; Anyway I will try tomorrow at my office and see the results thanks for pointing me at the right direction
09:28
<cliebow_>
option 128 will pass options to the kernel..not sure it has anything at all to do with nfs
09:28
error
09:31
<cstextiles>
I read it in this page http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/NFS

cliebow_: Then what are those options for?
10:01
<sbalneav>
ogra: OK, I pushed the postinst changes up to bazaar
10:01
<ogra>
cool
10:03
<sbalneav>
Vagrant's not around, do you know what was out-of-compliance for ltspfs?
10:04
<ogra>
nothing imho
10:04
and according to mdz ...
10:04
vagrant just likes to interpret the policy a bit strict ...
10:05
<sbalneav>
Hey, SOMEONE's gotta be a stickler around here :)
10:05
<ogra>
his main concern was the /etc/modules handling in postinst
10:05
<sbalneav>
ok, well, I've bzr pushed it.
10:05
<ogra>
waiting for LP to sync it ...
10:06
<sbalneav>
Hey, thanks for pointing me at BenC yesterday. Downloading the 2.6.19 -server from feisty fixed my NFS woes, it seems
10:06
\o/
10:06
<ogra>
my concern is to have the scripts without manpages in /usr/share/ltspfsd
10:06
yay
10:06
<sbalneav>
So, what's better: write manpages for the scripts, or move stuff to share?
10:07
<ogra>
and to probably have a dependency on ltsp-client to make sure you cant install the evil scripts on a server...
10:07
<sbalneav>
I thought we HAD manpages for just about everything?
10:07
<ogra>
there is a lintian-override file
10:07
for scripts that imho shouldnt have manpages
10:07
but without manpage they have to go to /usr/share ...
10:08
which means ltsp needs slight adjustment accordingly
10:08
<sbalneav>
ah, for cdpinger delayed_mounter ltspfs_mount and ltspfs_umount
10:08
<ogra>
(the initscript at least)
10:08
right
10:08
they are all not for user usage ... so manpages arent really needed ...
10:09
<sbalneav>
ok, well, the _mount and _umount scripts will require a wee tiny code change in ltspfs itself, that's no big deal.
10:09
<ogra>
right
10:09
<sbalneav>
cdpinger and delayed_mounter are launched from the init, and that's easypeasy.
10:09
<ogra>
and its not urgent ....
10:09
<sbalneav>
ok, so /usr/share/ltspfs
10:10
<ogra>
the only urgent thing was /etc/modules, so vagrant can backport it
10:10
<sbalneav>
or should it be .../ltspfsd
10:10
?
10:10
<ogra>
ltspfsd ...
10:10
<sbalneav>
ok
10:10
<ogra>
the binary package name
10:10
<sbalneav>
gotcha
10:10
<ogra>
how is your plan for xatoms going ?
10:11
do you still plan to implement it ?
10:11
<sbalneav>
About 2/3rds done
10:11
<ogra>
cool !
10:11
i'll poke on pulse again the next days
10:11
the last week i was only busy merging the branches again ...
10:12
ltsp-mainline is up to date again now :)
10:12
<sbalneav>
If work can RUDDY SLOW DOWN AND LET ME GET 5 MINUTES TO CODE INSTEAD OF FORCING ME TO IMPLEMENT THIS STUPID NEW LEGAL APPLICATION AAAAAARRRRRGH !*&^*&%$(@&^*@.....
10:12* sbalneav breaths heavy
10:12
<ogra>
ah, come on...
10:12
we have time ...
10:12
<sbalneav>
Then I hope to finish it before and of december :)
10:12
<ogra>
its not a race ;)
10:12
<sbalneav>
yeah, true.
10:13
<ogra>
it only feels like one right before the deadlines ;)
10:13
<sbalneav>
But we all impose deadlines on ourselves. More frustrated with the "quality" (or lack thereof) of this "application" that this local "(ahem)Development firm" has done for us, than anything else.
10:14
<ogra>
ouch
10:14
<sbalneav>
I told you the story, so you know the deal I'm going through. Go live's Jan 2
10:14Kodex has left #ltsp
10:14
<sbalneav>
so it's crunch time around here.
10:14
<ogra>
yeah
10:14
sounds like
10:14
<jammcq>
go live Jan 2, drop dead Jan 3
10:14
<ogra>
heh
10:14
<sbalneav>
exactly.
10:14
<ogra>
then scottie drops dead on 4th ?
10:15
<jammcq>
yeah, if he doesn't go postal
10:15
<sbalneav>
It cheeses me off that an office with 35 workstations that USED to run off of a single $1500 server now needs 2 $7000 servers to run it, SOLELY for this 1 application.
10:16
On the plus side, the whole org's moving to edgy + gnome desktop. People are LOVING that part.
10:16
so, I guess it's not ALL bad.
10:16
<ogra>
yay
10:16* ogra goes to hunt some dinner
10:16
<sbalneav>
Lots of great comments on the desktop. People who I thought would hate it are going on about how it's so much easier to use than icewm!
10:16* msinhore is back (gone 00:43:28)
10:17
<jammcq>
oh, like icewm was soooooo hard
10:19
<sbalneav>
That's what had me going
10:19
icewm is WAY less complicated than gnome.
10:19
However, I think the issue is bling.

Why do you think you need to turn off hyperthreading? What symptoms are you seeing that need hyperthreading turned off?
13:33
<rjune_>
sbalneav, you don't count general principles?
13:33
<sbalneav>
What's wrong with hyperthreading? I'm on a box with it now.
13:34
<Envite>
hyperthreading is like passing a lot of cars through a street with two lanes instead of one ;)
13:34

Historicly it causes more problems than it solves

hi there. I installed ltsp on ubuntu, its ok. I installed dosemu, ok. If I try to run dosemu it closes. Any help?
13:35

No idea if dosemu runs under ltsp.

sbalneav, I would like to run old MSDOS programs. A client of mine still uses Windows just for that. If was possible, I would like to use just linux
13:37
<rjune_>
sbalneav, usually I've only seen slowness
13:37
Lying to the OS about having more CPUs then you really do seems to be less effective then one might think

MrFreeBird: If you run the dosemu on the console, does it work?
13:39
I'd expect that dosemu, if it's emulating a dos box, might be wanting to talk directly to a video card somehow, and that might not work over X.
13:39
<MrFreeBird>
sbalneav, no it does not. A window open, autoexec starts, and suddenly it exits
13:40
<sbalneav>
So, really, then, if it doesn't work on the server console, your problem isn't with LTSP at all, it's with dosemu.
13:40
<MrFreeBird>
ok
13:40
I will do some searching
