hey
05:51
i need to get an AMD LX based terminal working
05:52
I need to build the AMD drivers into the kernel
05:52
Any ideas where I start?
05:53
envite: Can't seem to find many documentation out there.
05:53
envite: The AMD LX platform is a pretty stable common thing?
05:54
envite: The Video works fine with the VESA driver but what I really need is to get the sound working.

08:42
thats likely to work with the 5536 as well ... check if its loaded
08:44
hmm, no, it should be snd-cs5535audio
08:45
so check for that one
08:46
<jammcq>
hey ogra
08:46
<ogra>
yo jammcq
08:46
just playing with pulse integration ... :)
08:46
<jammcq>
remember that idea about offering a tarball of Ubuntu ltsp ?
08:47
I figure it's time to do it
08:48
is there still a tarball I can grab?
08:49ogra_ has joined #ltsp
08:50cliebow has quit IRC
08:50
<ogra_>
meh
08:50
jammcq, whats the last line you got from me ?
08:50
<jammcq>
about playing with pulse
08:50
<ogra_>
http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/ltsp-tarballs/ltsp-tarball-20060211.tgz is the most recent one
08:50
its the edgy version
08:50
<jammcq>
cool
08:50
i'll grab it now
08:51
<ogra_>
i'm behind on ppc, sorry
08:51
<jammcq>
as I understand it, anybody could take that image and install it on any distro
08:51
<ogra_>
and i'm nit sure how far i can go with it now that we drop ppc
08:51
<jammcq>
and once they do that, they could 'chroot /opt/ltsp/i386'
08:51
<ogra_>
right
08:51
<jammcq>
and do 'apt-get update && apt-get instal blah-blah-blah' ?
08:51
<ogra_>
but you also need ltsp-update-kernels and ltsp-update-sshkeys
08:51
on the server side
08:52
we need to package that as well
08:52
<jammcq>
but.... will those actually work on any server?
08:52
they are built for Ubuntu, no?
08:52
<ogra_>
its only scripts so it should ,,,, but it assumes some stuff like /var/lib/tftpboot ...
08:53
so for distros using /tftpboot it sont work ...
08:53
<jammcq>
I'm thinking we'll just need the kernel tarballs too
08:53
<ogra_>
*wont
08:53
no
08:53
you have the kernel in the tarball
08:53
<jammcq>
in which tarball? the big one?
08:53
<ogra_>
you just need to copy it and create the pxe config
08:53
yeah
08:53
<jammcq>
oh
08:53
where does the initramfs get built?
08:53
<ogra_>
in /boot as in every ubuntu system
08:54
in the chroot during build
08:54
<jammcq>
ah, so the kernel + initramfs is already there?
08:54
<ogra_>
with the special parameters for ltsp clients
08:54
yeah and properly configured
08:54
<jammcq>
'ltsp-update-kernels' just puts things in the right places ?
08:54
<ogra_>
all you need server sided are PXE or nbi ... and the setup
08:55
<jammcq>
"the setup" ?
08:55
<ogra_>
it calls mknbi ... and creates the PXE config
08:55
the config ....
08:55
<jammcq>
ok
08:56
<ogra_>
http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/ltsp/mainline/server/ltsp-update-kernels
08:56
its a trivial script
08:56
<jammcq>
I see
08:57
not so bad at all
08:57
<ogra_>
for an upstream i386 only variant it will be five lines or so ...
08:57
<jammcq>
so.... Ubuntu has dropped PPC ?
08:57
<ogra_>
well, officially
08:57
ppc will go on as community supported port
08:57
<jammcq>
hmmm
08:57
<ogra_>
but not officially anymore
08:58
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCReview
09:00
as long as my ibook works i'll go on with ppc development in my spare time (if i find some :P ) but beyond that i'm not sure ...
09:01
i think thats the general attitude in the development team ...
09:01
<jammcq>
it actually makes sense to me that they've dropped it
09:01
<ogra_>
so it wont disappear as long as the HW of people works :)
09:01cliebow has joined #ltsp
09:01
<ogra_>
but there is no official port anymore ...
09:01
and i know cliebow will cry ....
09:02* ogra_ goes on to fiddle with http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player:Additional_Interface_Support_for_Linux#Requirements
09:03
<ogra_>
why cant they just opensource their licenses and make my life easier :(

<g333k_work>
hello, I can use the same configuration files of ltsp 4.2 for ltsp 5 right? I mean /etc/hosts, /etc/dhcp.conf, etc etc ?
09:05
<cliebow>
why am i to cry???
09:06MoL0ToV has quit IRC
09:06
<ogra>
cliebow, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCReview
09:06
<cliebow>
g333k_work:dhcpd.conf will be in /etc/ltsp
09:07
ogra:to betruthful i hate the little bastuds..its just what i have to weork with
09:08
<ogra>
well, we'll drop them officially with feisty ...
09:08
but kepp them as community driven port (as long as enough devs elp out)
09:08
<cliebow>
ogra: stands to reaspn
09:11jsgotangco has quit IRC
09:11
<g333k_work>
cliebow, what about the /etc/dhcp3dhcp.conf file?
09:13
<ogra>
in ubuntu and debian its overridden by /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf if you use ltsp ...
09:13
so if you have an old backup you want to use, copy it there ...
09:13
and ignore /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf
09:14
<g333k_work>
ogra, where do I configure what interface I'm gonna use for ltsp? I mean something like the old ltspadmin?
09:14
ogra, And to see if all the daemons are working ok?
09:15
<ogra>
you use your distro tools for the services/daemons ... i.e. services-admin in ubuntu ...
09:16
(feisty or feisty+1 will have upstart integration so you will have an ltsp initscript then, that will mae such stuff way more comfortable)
09:17
for the interface, the one you configured in your dhcpd.conf and in /etc/network/inetrfaces will be used ...
09:18
i.e. dhcpd will autoselect the on where it finds a network config for in dhcpd.conf and ignore all others

hi
18:22
I'm trying to setup sound in my ltsp ubuntu, but sound is playing on the server
18:22
I have set sound_daemon = esd, and sound = true in lts.conf
18:22
what could be wrong ?
18:23
I'm running breezy
18:23
<jammcq>
sound isn't supported in breezy
18:23
although ogra may be able to tell you what you need to do, to make it work
18:24
<ogra>
hmm, i think sound is rupported in breezy ... let me look
18:24
<jammcq>
breezy ltsp ?
18:24
<yhan_>
yes
18:24
<jammcq>
I thought you only got it working in dapper
18:25
<ogra>
i'm not sure, i need to pull the bzr branch to check ... takes a minute
18:26
<yhan_>
np
18:26
<jammcq>
yhan_: ogra is the guy who knows this stuff better than anyone
18:26
<yhan_>
cool
18:26
btw ltsp is awesome
18:27
<ogra>
in any case the variables should be capitalized in lts.conf ....
18:27
<yhan_>
I could not believe what I saw, setup a diskless and term server in a few commands
18:27
<jammcq>
:)
18:27
<ogra>
and SOUND_DAEMON was in all implementations esd, so no need to set that ...
18:27
SOUND=True sould suffice
18:27
<yhan_>
even the values ?
18:28
[Default]
18:28
SOUND = True
18:28
SOUND_DAEMON = esd
18:28
NETWORK_COMPRESSION = True
18:28
that's the exact content of my lts.conf
18:28
<ogra>
that looks fine ... even though breezy surely didnt have NETWORK_COMPRESSION
18:29
grmbl ... bzr doesnt like me ...
18:29
<yhan_>
terminal is rebooting
18:30
the local sound board is enabled,
18:30
btw if esd is enabled I should be able to do a telnet termip 16001 from an another computer, right ?
18:31
<ogra>
ah, i created the sound branch on dec 12 2005 ... breezy was released in october ...
18:31
so i fear you wont get sound in breezy without big effort
18:32
<yhan_>
ok you're giving me necessary kick in my ass to migrate my machine to dapper :)
18:32
<ogra>
no, take edgy :)
18:32
ltsp made a quantum jump between edgy and dappe
18:32
<yhan_>
that machine is the last one running breeze
18:32
<ogra>
*dapper
18:32
<yhan_>
great
18:32
one last question
18:33
mythclient over ltsp, is it usable ?
18:33
<jammcq>
search google for 'myth ltsp'
18:33
people have done it
18:33
with Ubuntu's ltsp, it should be even easier
18:34
<yhan_>
perfect !
18:34
thanks for you help guys !!
18:34
greatly appreciated
18:34
<jammcq>
the trick is, you want to run the myth client ON the thin client
18:34
<yhan_>
local app
18:34
<ogra>
yeah, i bought a new TV set for christmas ... with VGA-in ... i'll soon write a plugin for mythtv so you can just install ltsp with --myth-client option in the future and ahave y living room thin-client media center
18:35
<yhan_>
I'll check for that, I don't have my real thinclients hardware yet
18:35
I've been running mythtv for 2 years
18:35
<ogra>
get one from disklessworkstations.com
18:35
<yhan_>
mythtv is great
18:35
do you know solarpc ? from solarpc.com ?
18:36
anyway I have to go, thanks again
18:36
<ogra>
nope
18:36
<yhan_>
solarpc is a bit cheaper
18:36
thanks for the link
18:36
bye bye
18:36
<ogra>
quite bug cases for a thin client
18:36
ciao :)
