04:01 | <bails> hi all I'm still having problems building lbe on debian unstable
| |
04:03 | <vagrantc> bails: want to try ltsp 5.0 instead?
| |
04:03 | <bails> well actually all i really want is an ltsp_kernel_kit
| |
04:04 | I need to build a custom kernel for some pita thin clients
| |
04:04 | <vagrantc> well, with ltsp 5.0 you can use the kernel from debian.
| |
04:04 | <bails> with no mknbe needed?
| |
04:04 | mknbi rather
| |
04:04 | <vagrantc> unmodified. though if the debian kernel doesn't support your thin clients, then it won't work.
| |
04:05 | if you have PXE boot, you don't need to use mknbi...
| |
04:05 | <bails> well i guess i could give it a go
| |
04:05 | no pxe on these I'm afraid
| |
04:07 | <vagrantc> the basic jist is: apt-get install ltsp-server ; ltsp-build-client
| |
04:07 | but if there's an /opt/ltsp/ARCH, you might want to move it out of the way first.
| |
04:07 | and you might want to use --mirror to specify your debian mirror.
| |
04:07 | <bails> and i guess i need a line for sources.list to achieve this
| |
04:08 | <vagrantc> it's integrated into debian unstable.
| |
04:08 | or etch, if you prefer testing.
| |
04:08 | <bails> I'll give it a go
| |
04:09 | <vagrantc> it essentially builds an LTSP environment out of debian packages.
| |
04:30 | <bails> vagrantc, Failure trying to run: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_4_i386.deb var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.11_i386.deb
| |
04:31 | <vagrantc> that sounds like a bug in debootstrap
| |
04:34 | <bails> dpkg: base-files: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you request:
| |
04:34 | base-files depends on awk; however:
| |
04:34 | Package awk is not installed.
| |
04:35 | vagrantc, I guess awk needs to be installed in the tree at /opt/ltsp/i386
| |
04:35 | <vagrantc> bails: you might have better luck with --dist etch
| |
04:35 | becuase unstable is... well... unstable :)
| |
04:36 | <bails> like this? apt-get install ltsp-server --dist etch ; ltsp-build-client
| |
04:36 | <vagrantc> no
| |
04:36 | ltsp-build-client --dist etch
| |
04:36 | <bails> ok cheers
| |
04:37 | <vagrantc> i'm just guessing it's a problem with package dependencies in unstable- that's the most common problem.
| |
04:37 | <bails> ok np
| |
04:38 | <vagrantc> another problem sometimes is out of date mirrors.

| |
05:33 | <vagrantc> bails: /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server
| |
05:33 | <bails> ta
| |
05:34 | <vagrantc> granted, it's far from complete
| |
05:35 | <bails> no problem i just feel the need to read
| |
05:36 | <vagrantc> there's also man pages for ltsp-build-client and some of the other stuff
| |
05:36 | and ltsp-build-client --help

06:01 | <Darke-_> hmm
| |
06:01 | i have to run ltsp-build-client ?
| |
06:02 | <vagrantc> Darke-_: well, on a debian/etch/sid or ubuntu machine, that is what i would recommend.
| |
06:02 | <Darke-_> since there is already a filesystem for the clients from scratch
| |
06:02 | bdole42 has joined #ltsp | |
06:02 | <Darke-_> vagrantc: ok
| |
06:02 | well the client now boots perfectly
| |
06:03 | cant log in doe, fixed that on SLES and ltsp4 by configure the gdm.conf a bit.
| |
06:03 | but since its using ldm here
| |
06:03 | with edubuntu 6.10 and ltsp5
| |
06:04 | im not sure what to do really
| |
06:04 | vagrantc: any clues ?
| |
06:05 | <vagrantc> Darke-_: maybe run ltsp-update-sshkeys
| |
06:05 | <Darke-_> did
| |
06:05 | returns nothing doe
| |
06:05 | <vagrantc> "doe" ?
| |
06:05 | <Darke-_> :P
| |
06:05 | <vagrantc> well, after running ltsp-update-sshkeys, did you try logging in again?
| |
06:06 | <Darke-_> yes, i did.
| |
06:06 | <bails> cheers for the help vagrantc
| |
06:06 | bails has left #ltsp | |
06:06 | * vagrantc thanks bails, but is too slow. | |
06:06 | <vagrantc> Darke-_: is sshd running on your server? grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
| |
06:07 | <Darke-_> returned nothing
| |
06:07 | im just a bit confused ;) this time i tried doing nothing
| |
06:08 | since i learned with ltsp5 and edubuntu it should work out of the box
| |
06:08 | oh well
| |
06:08 | X11Fowarding yes
| |
06:08 | Forwarding*
| |
06:11 | <vagrantc> Darke-_: so, the ldm login screen comes up, you type a vvalid user name and valid password, and you're unable to log in?
| |
06:11 | <Darke-_> Correct
| |
06:11 | <vagrantc> can you ssh into your server normally?
| |
06:11 | like, from another machine?
| |
06:11 | <Darke-_> one sec
| |
06:12 | <ogra> vagrantc, hey, i saw the bug about the boolean handling ... wow, were we blind :)
| |
06:13 | <vagrantc> ogra: i bet i wrote it properly in my test cases, but when i committed to bzr i mucked it up.
| |
06:13 | luckily the workaround can simply be: use lower case. :)
| |
06:13 | <ogra> well, we both looked at it several times i think :)
| |
06:14 | <Darke-_> have to rearange a few things, got no other machine in that network atm :P Since ogra wanted me to run it out of the box with dhcp and all that
| |
06:14 | <vagrantc> Darke-_: ogra's your ubuntu ltsp guru. :)
| |
06:14 | * vagrantc passes the buck | |
06:14 | <Darke-_> but coulnt in the exisiting network.. cuz we already have a running dhcp pxe server etc
| |
06:15 | and i had the ltsp server on vmware.. so it had to be in that network :) but now i made a lil lab network with 1 server and one client.
| |
06:15 | but ill try ssh any sec on.
| |
06:17 | J45p3r_ has joined #ltsp | |
06:19 | <Darke-_> vagrantc: yes
| |
06:19 | it works
| |
06:20 | as i said, last time i changed a few tings in gdm.conf.. but thats with gdm and ltsp4 so..
| |
06:20 | <vagrantc> yes, gdm is not used at all for this.
| |
06:20 | all LDM is is a wrapper around "ssh -X" really.
| |
06:21 | so ... try "ssh -X xeyes"
| |
06:21 | <Darke-_> i havnt ran build client script but.. since its edubuntu 6.10 i should not have to do that.
| |
06:21 | <vagrantc> Darke-_: what's in the /opt/ltsp directory?
| |
06:22 | <Darke-_> an i386 filesystem
| |
06:24 | hmm, i could log on as root now oO
| |
06:24 | well that means its working :P ill have a look on it.
| |
06:32 | alien_ is now known as alienBOB | |
06:37 | <Darke-_> ogra: what do i need to do in order to get the sound to play localy ?
| |
06:38 | (on the client, rather then the server)
| |
06:40 | * vagrantc thinks setting SOUND=True in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf should work. | |
06:40 | <ogra> cp /usr/share/edubuntu-artwork/lts.conf /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/
| |
06:40 | <Darke-_> ok, ill check it out.
| |
06:40 | <ogra> err
| |
06:40 | <Darke-_> oO
| |
06:40 | <ogra> sudo cp /usr/share/edubuntu-artwork/lts.conf /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/
| |
06:40 | ;)
| |
06:40 | <Darke-_> ;P
| |
06:40 | * vagrantc defers to ogra | |
06:40 | <ogra> or even better: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical edubuntu-artwork
| |
06:40 | <vagrantc> ogra: why on earth is that in an edubuntu-artwork directory? :P
| |
06:41 | <Darke-_> yea :P
| |
06:41 | <ogra> edubuntu-artwork is also the edubuntu-settings package, i'm about to split them
| |
06:41 | <Darke-_> and simply just reconnect the client ?
| |
06:41 | <ogra> the changes to the settings were to minor until edgy to justify a complete package
| |
06:41 | reboot the client
| |
06:42 | it sets the bootsplash and ldm themes as well
| |
06:43 | <vagrantc> ok, well that's enough pleading with all the translators to update the ltsp translations for one day... :)
| |
06:45 | <ogra> vagrantc, http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/12/14/upstart-0-3 ;)
| |
06:45 | * vagrantc is almost unable to think clearly anymore | |
06:46 | <ogra> just keep the bookmark
| |
06:46 | it explains the upstart syntax
| |
06:46 | <vagrantc> ah, i saw that on planet.debian.net
| |
06:46 | <ogra> oh207, i thought Keybug left debian ...
| |
06:46 | intresting that they keep his blog :)
| |
06:47 | <vagrantc> maybe it only gets removed if requested...
| |
06:47 | <ogra> intresting ...
| |
06:47 | * vagrantc jus recently started reading it | |
06:47 | <jammcq> ogra: Good morning
| |
06:47 | and good morning to vagranc too
| |
06:47 | <ogra> hey jammcq
| |
06:48 | <vagrantc> the roosters are calling ... but sunrise is still a bit off, methinks.
| |
06:48 | <jammcq> oooh, it's early for vagrantc
| |
06:48 | <vagrantc> more accurately, it's really, really late.
| |
06:49 | <jammcq> heh
| |
06:49 | <ogra> *g*
| |
06:50 | <Darke-_> ogra: well the sound was played localy before when it comes to OS sounds.
| |
06:51 | But the potato guy still plays its sounds on the server
| |
06:51 | :D
| |
06:51 | (the kid game)
| |
06:51 | <ogra> OS sounds and every default app (totem/rhythmbox) should use local sound ...
| |
06:52 | the potato guy is a KDE app, you need to set KDE to use esd in kcontrol ...
| |
06:52 | <Darke-_> =P
| |
06:52 | will do, must play potato guy :)

11:46 | <joebaker> For Ubuntu LTSP servers is it better to stay with the latest LTS release or the latest 6 month release? I'm thinking that for a desktop OS it is better to go with the latest 6 month release.
| |
11:52 | Googling showed me that LTS (long term support) releases about every 3-4 normal releases or about every 2-3 years.

| |
15:05 | <LordVorp> can't launch the window manager?
| |
15:05 | <raroth42> could well be - get the x-hair, then a little clock icon, then back to the login

19:55 | <cliebow> if you are using ltsp-4.2 localadev support is based on fuse mounting of a filesystem by the linux server..i dont believe rdp will have any concept of this

20:24 | * Gadi just got back to my 'puter | |
20:25 | <Gadi> if so, go to the WorkInProgress section of the LTSP wiki
| |
20:25 | there's a package I put together to do just that
| |
20:25 | <jammcq> ah, leave it to Gadi to show how it's done
| |
20:26 | <Gadi> that was the question, right?
| |
20:26 | * Gadi hates missing the opening credits | |
20:26 | <Gadi> if not, never mind
| |
20:27 | I'll go back to my chorees
| |
20:27 | er, chores
| |
20:27 | oh, the package is in the classic style of "Gadi, that's not very elegant!" but it gets the job done
| |
20:30 | <Snerf> i am not using 4.2 as of yet, still with 4.1
| |
20:30 | <Gadi> ah, then its even easier
| |
20:31 | run an rdesktop screen script as so: rdesktop -r disk:drives=/tmp/drives <IP>
| |
20:31 | <Snerf> doh.. why didnt i think of that...

20:32 | of course you want to put the whole thing in double quotes
| |
20:32 | <Snerf> i know :)
| |
20:33 | <Gadi> see, that's my role in this development team - to bastardize LTSP for things people *really* want to use it for ;)
| |
20:33 | <Snerf> with the /tmp/drives, is there any special thing I need to setup to get those showing? in the lts.conf ?
| |
20:34 | <Gadi> just the usual as you would for linux
| |
20:34 | HOTPLUG = Y
| |
20:34 | and friends
| |
20:34 | <Snerf> ya, I got the hotplug one, and the LOCAL_DEVICE ones
| |
20:34 | * Gadi thinks jammcq added my rdesktop patch in 4.1 | |
20:35 | <Gadi> to make RDP not complain about drive space when writing to the disks
| |
20:35 | but, if not, let me know
| |
20:35 | <Snerf> gonna try and get usb sticks to work as well, is that also do-able?
| |
20:36 | <Gadi> or, you can grab that pkg for 4.2 from the wiki, unpack the tarball, and install the ltsp-rdesktop one
| |
20:36 | definitely
| |
20:36 | my livelihood depends on it
| |
20:36 | f'in users
| |
20:36 | I mean, loving customers
| |
20:36 | <Snerf> hehe.. well, its teachers with me :)
| |
20:37 | <Gadi> ah, teachers - bless em all
| |
20:37 | for without teachers, the world would fall
| |
20:38 | now, a better question is, why does my ISP's spam filter not block emails with the Subject being the first name of the Sender
| |
20:38 | I mean, really
| |
20:38 | do you need a computer to know that's spam?
