| 00:13 | <vagrantc> wow. the Debian LTSP 5 implementation is rated at "Excellent" :)
| |
| 00:14 | * vagrantc considers downgrading it to good. | |
| 00:14 | <vagrantc> though it's arguably better than ubuntu/dapper

| 01:36 | <shogunx> edgy is pretty good... only minor mods necessary, and most of it worked out of the box.
| |
| 01:38 | where did you see that about debian, vagrantc?

| 14:33 | <vagrantc> does ltspfs work ok across a NAT connection?
| |
| 14:34 | probably would be saner of me to scrounge up a working hub somewhere...
| |
| 14:35 | i need to see how invasive it would be to update debian's ltsp to work with the newer ltspfs ... maybe we can still at least get the proper hooks in place for etch.

| |
| 15:28 | <tzafrir_laptop> I'm trying to help someone with a problematic install of LTSP 4.2.
| |
| 15:30 | BilboFett has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:30 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: hey!
| |
| 15:30 | <tzafrir_laptop> The system is Mandriva 7
| |
| 15:30 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: so, i can't really follow the localdev checklist ... it's pretty ltsp 4.2 specific ...
| |
| 15:30 | <tzafrir_laptop> (vagrantc, no, this is not my system)
| |
| 15:31 | * vagrantc refrains from making any distro flames | |
| 15:31 | <BilboFett> need help finding Gadi's how-to for piping sound through rdp via windows terminal services
| |
| 15:31 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: though, i'm kind of stumbling through it as best i can ...
| |
| 15:32 | ogra: you wouldn't happen to be around?
| |
| 15:32 | <ogra> meeting :P
| |
| 15:33 | <tzafrir_laptop> anyway, the tftpd is atftpd. I see the kernel being transfered. I fail to see any initrd (initramfs.gz) being trasfered.
| |
| 15:33 | <sbalneav> vagrantc: hey hey
| |
| 15:33 | <tzafrir_laptop> The code of the initramfs seems to run. And fails
| |
| 15:33 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: i'm trying to get ltspfs working with etch.
| |
| 15:34 | <sbalneav> Sure, what's not working?
| |
| 15:34 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: we probably won't get ltspfs itself into etch, but at least the ltsp/ldm hooks might be able to be updated.
| |
| 15:34 | sbalneav: so, it's not doing the add_fstab_entry bit ...
| |
| 15:34 | <sbalneav> ah, ok, that would be some udev magikal stuff.
| |
| 15:35 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: which might have to do with udev incompatibilities .... can we do the udev parts manually?
| |
| 15:35 | just to see if it's working?
| |
| 15:35 | <sbalneav> sure, if it's not firing directly, you can just call the add_fstab_entry stuff manually
| |
| 15:36 | <vagrantc> so... "add_fstab_entry /dev/sda4 vfat" should work?
| |
| 15:36 | <tzafrir_laptop> vagrantc, is there a nice straight-forward installation of ltsp from Etch?
| |
| 15:36 | <vagrantc> tzafrir_laptop: apt-get install ltsp-server && ltsp-build-client
| |
| 15:36 | <sbalneav> vagrantc: yeah, that should do it.
| |
| 15:37 | Although the udev rule for that is pretty simple. I'm surprised it doesn't work!
| |
| 15:37 | <tzafrir_laptop> if worst comes to worst , I'll offer that for reinstallation
| |
| 15:38 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: add_fstab_entry seems badly borked.
| |
| 15:38 | <tzafrir_laptop> so any idea what I need to check in order to see why I don't see the initramfs on the atftpd.log ?
| |
| 15:38 | <vagrantc> tzafrir_laptop: you might want to use some of the ltsp-build-client options. ltsp-build-client --help
| |
| 15:38 | * vagrantc fails to cut and paste from the other monitor | |
| 15:38 | BilboFett has quit IRC | |
| 15:38 | <sbalneav> ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="?*", RUN+="add_fstab_ent
| |
| 15:38 | ry %k $ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}"
| |
| 15:41 | * vagrantc uses the wonders of screen + logger + remote syslogging | |
| 15:41 | <vagrantc> mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/run/drives/usbdisk-/dev/sda4': No such file or directory
| |
| 15:42 | <tzafrir_laptop> vagrantc, I'm looking at lower levels now
| |
| 15:42 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: ?
| |
| 15:42 | <sbalneav> ah
| |
| 15:42 | <vagrantc> /var/run/drives exists
| |
| 15:42 | <tzafrir_laptop> I'm familiar enough with tftp et al. and don't know ltsp's scrips well enough. So I rather understand the lower level errors first
| |
| 15:42 | <sbalneav> ok, I guess it's add_fstab_entry sda4 vfat
| |
| 15:43 | %k in udev doesn't give you the /dev/ prefix
| |
| 15:44 | <vagrantc> looks much better ...
| |
| 15:45 | sbalneav: so now that i have the fstab entry ... what do i do?
| |
| 15:46 | <sbalneav> Well, now, on the server, you'd want to do something like the following:
| |
| 15:47 | mkdir /tmp/vagrantc-ltspfs/usbdisk-sda4
| |
| 15:47 | ltspfs ws00x:/var/run/drives/usbdisk-sda4 /tmp/vagrantc-ltspfs/usbdisk-sda4
| |
| 15:48 | if you've got something cool in /tmp/vagrantc-ltspfs/usbdisk-sda4, you dance the happy dance!
| |
| 15:50 | * vagrantc dances the happy dance! | |
| 15:50 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: so now i just need to figure out how to make all that happen automagically with udev?
| |
| 15:51 | <ogra> thats what the fstab scripts do :)
| |
| 15:51 | why cant you ship them ?
| |
| 15:51 | <vagrantc> they are included.
| |
| 15:51 | for some reason udev isn't calling them.
| |
| 15:52 | <ogra> did you ask the udev team ?
| |
| 15:52 | * vagrantc just got starting on this 20 minutes ago | |
| 15:52 | <ogra> i know debian is different, but it must be possible to make it work the same way as in ubuntu
| |
| 15:52 | after all its the same upstream
| |
| 15:52 | <vagrantc> i wanted to see the mount work before i worried about the udev stuff
| |
| 15:53 | i mean, i would have preferred it to just work, but... you know :)
| |
| 15:53 | <sbalneav> vagrantc: hey, I've got an etch box at home, you gonna be on tonight?
| |
| 15:53 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: not sure.
| |
| 15:53 | bjohnson has quit IRC | |
| 15:55 | <sbalneav> Well, I'll do some digging tonight, howzzat? If you're on, I'll let you know right then and there, if not, you'll know tomorrow :)
| |
| 15:55 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: ok.
| |
| 15:55 | sbalneav: how important is the /var/run/.static-device bits added to ldm ?
| |
| 15:56 | <ogra> its important for floppies
| |
| 15:56 | <sbalneav> Ummm, well if you DON'T have it, then things like ide hard drives, and classic floppies won't work
| |
| 15:56 | <vagrantc> ok.
| |
| 15:57 | <sbalneav> but anything PLUGGABLE, like a usb cdrom, or usb key will work normally.
| |
| 15:57 | <vagrantc> well, we'll see if we can't get those hooks into etch.
| |
| 15:57 | it's not as big of changes as i thought.
| |
| 15:58 | * vagrantc wonders where the debian udev maintainers hang out | |
| 15:59 | * vagrantc remembers a particularly bad interaction with the debian udev maintainer in the past | |
| 15:59 | <ogra> debian fun :)
| |
| 16:00 | <vagrantc> so debian's no better than ubuntu in that regard :P
| |
| 16:01 | <ogra> well, in ubuntu i can just patch the package i want (theoretically)
| |
| 16:01 | * vagrantc remembers a particularly bad interaction with the ubuntu udev maintainer in the past | |
| 16:01 | <ogra> lool
| |
| 16:01 | <vagrantc> why does udev bring so much angst.
| |
| 16:02 | it seems the debian's udev rules use %k with the full path to the device.
| |
| 16:02 | <sbalneav> ogra: hey, what's the inside scoop on the "insane crack smoking flaming window manager by default" idea? I get a baaaaad feeling about that one, yogi. :)
| |
| 16:02 | <ogra> we wont have berly
| |
| 16:03 | either compiz or metacity, but surely no flaming windows and theat stuff
| |
| 16:03 | <sbalneav> Specifically, spending all our time in #ltsp and #edubuntu trying to either a) convice terminal people they REALLY don't want to turn it on, or b) teaching them how to turn it off :)
| |
| 16:03 | <dberkholz> i get along great with our udev maintainer =)
| |
| 16:04 | <ogra> well, i already clearified with the beryl guys that they'll add a mode where beryl shuts down itself if it detects LTSP_CLIENT to be set
| |
| 16:04 | <sbalneav> I kinda went through 7 stages of grief with udev starting with "hating it" and ending up with "kinda liking it" :)
| |
| 16:05 | I think the day that keybuck gave us a 30 second one-liner that did everything that took me lines and lines of udev rules and months to figure out was kinda an "ah ha" moment :)
| |
| 16:05 | Remember that one Ollie?

| |
| 16:07 | <ogra> will do ...
| |
| 16:07 | <sbalneav> cliebow: don't you mean slapd

| 16:07 | HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

| 16:08 | <cliebow> HAJH
| |
| 16:08 | <sbalneav> LDAP HUMOUR THERE FOLKS!
| |
| 16:08 | <cliebow> still dont grok the cowbells though
| |
| 16:08 | <sbalneav> I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
| |
| 16:08 | <cliebow> there's a cold heinie in your future
| |
| 16:09 | * vagrantc tries to understand add_fstab_entry and fails | |
| 16:09 | <cliebow> and no ALberta Clipper humor now
| |
| 16:09 | <sbalneav> It 1) tries to make a nice fake name for the device.
| |
| 16:10 | Then checks if the ssh connection is there, via the ssh socket (misnamed .ltspf-socket)
| |
| 16:10 | if it is, it sends the ssh command
| |
| 16:10 | if not, it adds it for the delayed mounter
| |
| 16:11 | (so that if you plug in the usb key, THEN log in, the key will be there.)
| |
| 16:14 | msinhore has quit IRC | |

| |
| 18:40 | <Mineque> hi
| |
| 18:40 | <jammcq> hello
| |
| 18:42 | <vagrantc> jammcq: evening.
| |
| 18:43 | <jammcq> howdie
| |
| 18:44 | * vagrantc finally got around to getting newer ltspfs working with etch | |
| 18:44 | <jammcq> neat-o
| |
| 18:44 | <vagrantc> still will have to backport ltspfs itself, but hopefully we can get all the hooks in place so you don't need to also backport ltsp
| |
| 18:50 | <jammcq> vagrantc: I'm looking at the source code for lp_server, and it seems pretty clear to me that it's GPL. It includes a 'Copyright' file that says that it uses the 'GNU Copying license'
| |
| 18:51 | <vagrantc> jammcq: it's clear to a human, but not to a lawyer.
| |
| 18:51 | <jammcq> I'll contact Patrick Powell, but at this point, I don't know what the problem is
| |
| 18:51 | <vagrantc> jammcq: or rather, it's clearly not acceptible under copyright law.
| |
| 18:51 | <jammcq> what needs to change?
| |
| 18:51 | muh2000 has quit IRC | |
| 18:52 | <vagrantc> jammcq: the licensing terms in the headers reference files that don't exist.
| |
| 18:52 | * vagrantc looks around for an email explaining the specifics | |
| 18:53 | <vagrantc> " it has numerous files which include copyright notices
| |
| 18:53 | without specifying the terms of those copyright notices. the LICENSE
| |
| 18:53 | file refers to the "GNU COPYING license", not the GPL"
| |
| 18:53 | <jammcq> can you forward that to me?
| |
| 18:55 | muh2000 has joined #ltsp | |
| 18:55 | <vagrantc> i feel like i had an even more detailed description ...
| |
| 18:55 | muh2000 has quit IRC | |
| 18:56 | <vagrantc> jammcq: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-ltsp-devel/2006-September/000393.html
| |
| 18:57 | muh2000 has joined #ltsp | |
| 18:57 | <jammcq> ok, I'm gonna see if I can contact papowell to clear this up
| |
| 18:58 | <vagrantc> cool.
| |
| 19:00 | at any rate, though, we should package it separately from ltsp.
| |
| 19:00 | muh2000 has quit IRC | |
| 19:00 | <jammcq> sure
| |
| 19:01 | I just don't like the idea of loading a big-ass python interpreter to handle something as simple as printer re-direction
| |
| 19:01 | worst case, I'll write a new one in C
| |
| 19:01 | <vagrantc> heh.
| |
| 19:01 | well, there seems to be no problem loading huge-ass "bash" interpreters to run shell scripts :P
| |
| 19:03 | <jammcq> when we went from ltsp-4.1 to 4.2, we spent lots of time cleaning up whatever we could, to reduce the memory footprint. we were able to reduce the memory requirements by about 9mb
| |
| 19:03 | which, on a 32mb client is very significant
| |
| 19:04 | <vagrantc> definitely.
| |
| 19:04 | <jammcq> simple things, like using 'exec'
| |
| 19:04 | <vagrantc> we should switch to dash as the default /bin/sh, too ... i bet that would knock several seconds off of boot times.
| |
| 19:04 | <cliebow> 4.2 rocks!!!
| |
| 19:04 | <jammcq> not running daemons that don't need to be running
| |
| 19:05 | I like fast boot, but I like low memory even more
| |
| 19:05 | <vagrantc> well, using a tiny /bin/sh will probably reduce the memory footprint, too.
| |
| 19:05 | <jammcq> sure
| |
| 19:05 | it just seems like lately, the footprint has grown immensly
| |
| 19:06 | <vagrantc> i've sucessfully booted 24MB machines using the ltsp stuff in debian etch
| |
| 19:06 | <jammcq> cool
| |
| 19:06 | with X ?
| |
| 19:06 | <vagrantc> yes
| |
| 19:07 | login was a bit slow, but it functioned after that.
| |
| 19:07 | <jammcq> swap ?
| |
| 19:07 | <vagrantc> using ldm or sdm, i think.
| |
| 19:07 | yes, swap.
| |
| 19:07 | X.org alone eats a lot of memory unless you use 8 bit color depth. which is almost unuseable these days.
| |
| 19:08 | <jammcq> I was doing that with 12mb machines
| |
| 19:08 | <cliebow> ssome of my most reliable clients are p133 with 32 meg
| |
| 19:08 | <vagrantc> jammcq: if you use xdmcp instead of ldm/sdm, i bet you can go even lower.
| |
| 19:09 | * vagrantc looks at the debian/copyright file for lprng (by the same author of lp_server) and raises an eyebrow | |
| 19:10 | <vagrantc> there's this weird exception clause.
| |
| 19:10 | * jammcq just downloaded the latest from the lprng site | |
| 19:10 | muh2000 has joined #ltsp | |

| 21:07 | <shogunx> with 128megs running xdmcp there should be no need for swap on the clinet, correct?
| |
| 21:08 | well, i guess i could answer that with htop
| |
| 21:09 | <vagrantc> most likely not.
| |
| 21:10 | 64MB should be sufficient.
| |
| 21:10 | <shogunx> and worse case i could use the 64megs of onboard flash on the client as swap
| |
| 21:10 | <vagrantc> if you have a crazy-high resolution or color depth, it might get higher...
| |
| 21:10 | <shogunx> 640x480@16
| |
| 21:10 | <vagrantc> using flash for swap? eeyk.
| |
| 21:11 | shogunx: that sounds like a pretty low resolution.
| |
| 21:11 | shogunx: so you should be fine.
| |
| 21:11 | <shogunx> they are 8 inch monitors.
| |
| 21:11 | everything else looks nasty... native 640x480
| |
| 21:11 | <vagrantc> i've been using 800x600 for quite a while now. :)
| |
| 21:11 | <shogunx> no option on the flash other that network swap.
| |
| 21:12 | * vagrantc is behind the times | |
| 21:12 | <shogunx> i had to use the small monitors (made for car pc's) to keep the power footprint low enough that i could run the geode based client and monitor over one 12V PoE run.
| |
| 21:13 | looks like at idle the client is using about 12 megs of memory.
| |
| 21:15 | and with 16 megs of the 128 as video memory, i should be ok.
| |
| 21:17 | cdpinger and delayed_mounter are part of ltspfs, right?
| |
| 21:18 | looks like lbuscd is MUCH more efficient than those.
| |
| 21:18 | hows freegeek doing vargantc?
| |
| 21:20 | <vagrantc> well, i'm virtually at freegeek regularly, but haven't actually been there since april of last year :)
| |
| 21:20 | <shogunx> travelling still?
| |
| 21:20 | <vagrantc> but it sounds like they're doing pretty good, overall
| |
| 21:20 | hunkered down in new mexico for the winter.
| |
| 21:20 | <shogunx> i heard they got broken into a while back.
| |
| 21:20 | who would do that.
| |
| 21:20 | <vagrantc> yeah. they've largely recovered from the breakin, though.
| |
| 21:21 | lots of community support. best kind of insurance there is :)
| |
| 21:21 | <shogunx> yep
| |
| 21:23 | but who would steal computers from a place that gives them away? where is the logic?
| |
| 21:23 | <vagrantc> people who don't qualify to get them?
| |
| 21:24 | <shogunx> i was unaware of pre-qualification, other than volunteer hours spent getting educated.
| |
| 21:24 | <vagrantc> basically, people who wanted to make some easy money, is my guess.
| |
| 21:24 | <shogunx> could have been an attempted DOS attck too.
| |
| 21:24 | <vagrantc> yeah, well, people who want to make a fast buck don't typically consider 24 hours of community service worth it
| |
| 21:25 | <shogunx> true
| |
| 21:25 | <vagrantc> and, they primarily stole laptops, which we don't actually get enough of to give to volunteers- those mostly go to nonprofits and some are sold in the thrift store...
| |
| 21:25 | <shogunx> ahh. makes sense
