| 06:51 | <troels> Hi, is there some body who has skype working (oss redirection or alsa through esd, maby pulse audio) ??
| |
| 06:54 | <nf1> Hi, where are the audio driver files in LTSP4.2
| |
| 07:02 | <troels> I think they are in /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.6.16.1-ltsp-2/kernel/
| |
| 07:03 | <nf1> 10x I found them

| 07:38 | <nf1> only one side audio
| |
| 07:38 | I run skype, and when I call someone, I can hear, but I can't speak
| |
| 07:39 | that's an issue wich will no longer be in LTSP5 i think
| |
| 07:40 | <troels> Okay then you must have gotten ALSA to work right ?
| |
| 07:41 | <nf1> yes
| |
| 07:41 | ESD+ALSA
| |
| 07:41 | <troels> I can't get that to work
| |
| 07:42 | <nf1> I gotta go now, If you may try to read this about the sound: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/SoundCards & http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WorkInProgress#esd_ALSA_sound_on_LTSP_4_2
| |
| 07:43 | <troels> ESD works but when I, check the variables LD_PRELOAD & ESPEAKER they are not set. what distro are you using ?
| |
| 07:43 | <nf1> debian sid
| |
| 07:43 | <troels> I'm using Xubuntu
| |
| 07:43 | <nf1> with ubuntu i think it's even easer, but i never tested it
| |
| 07:44 | <troels> When you open a terminal and echo $ESPEAKR and echo LD_PRELOAD
| |
| 07:44 | what do you get in pesponse

| 10:52 | <chupacabra> Should I get ltsp from ltsp.org or ubuntu for my new ubuntu box?
| |
| 11:03 | <nf1> If you use an uptodate version of ubuntu, you can install LTSP from your package manager
| |
| 11:06 | <chupacabra> 6.10
| |
| 11:08 | seems happy with this. sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server
| |
| 11:08 | <nf1> :)
| |
| 11:11 | <chupacabra> what is ltsp-utils?
| |
| 11:11 | Dont use the ltsp-utils package from universe with this ltsp implementation, it is for a different ltsp version, installing them together will break.

| |
| 14:15 | psyco-obiwan has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:21 | <cliebow> mighty-d: better ask jammcq or Gadi.they are most up on the improvements..you wont see GAdi before Monday id guess
| |
| 14:24 | <mighty-d> ok cliebow, but what do you think is it likely?
| |
| 14:28 | <cliebow> mighty-d: you would need to be sure the web drivers are in the filesystem on the clkient..
| |
| 14:29 | i am not sure for instance if ovcam is in either 4.2 or ltsp5
| |
| 14:30 | <mighty-d> ovcam?
| |
| 14:31 | <cliebow> that is one cdamera....qc-usb is another
| |
| 14:32 | usb camera driver
| |
| 14:32 | <mighty-d> in thin clients?
| |
| 14:33 | <cliebow> so the filesystem you mount on a thin client needs to have drivers for the devices you hope to use
| |
| 14:34 | <mighty-d> the filesystem on a thin client? isn't a diskless terminal?

| 15:13 | <kusznir> Hi all: I've got some X related ltsp questions. I'm trying to "go live" now with 5 terms (old PCs converted to terms). However, the resolution I'm getting out of ltsp is not as good as the resolution I was getting from the local X install (same base OS on the terms and the server)
| |
| 15:14 | Right now, ltsp is giving me 1280x960; I asked for 1400x1050 (the origional res) through the lts.conf option.
| |
| 15:14 | The only thing I can think of is these systems have nvidia cards, and I don't think ltsp does...
| |
| 15:15 | cliebow_: Is that an intel-based mac, or the powerPC-based mac?
| |
| 15:16 | (but then again, we used to run these systems without the nvidia drivers, and it still worked....)
| |
| 15:16 | edgarin has quit IRC | |
| 15:18 | <cliebow_> this a powerpc mac
| |
| 15:18 | <kusznir> cool :)
| |
| 15:19 | <cliebow_> ive used 4.1 quite a while..but needed the radeon driver for the powerpc g4s..so had to try it
| |
| 15:22 | plus i do like the wierd science part of it..

| 17:39 | <mchristo> hi there
| |
| 17:40 | I am in the process of evaluating LTSP and I have a question concerning user sessions on thin clients
| |
| 17:41 | I am wondering if there is a way to join a user session in progress in order to do remote tech support... just think of an end user having problems with one of their applications
| |
| 17:41 | and a tech support person wants to join into the user session in order to show the user what to do, etc.... does this feature exist in LTSP?
| |
| 17:41 | Thanks in advance for your help...
| |
| 17:43 | <vagrantc> not as part of LTSP per se ...
| |
| 17:44 | you could do something like that with VNC or NX i think
| |
| 17:47 | <mchristo> But LTSP manages the thin client session, right? So wouldn't the "joining" of a session by a tech support person mean that LTSP is somehow involved?
| |
| 17:50 | <vagrantc> LTSP is just a collection of services.
| |
| 17:50 | LTSP is basically NFS + DHCP + TFTP + various X protocols....
| |
| 17:50 | <mchristo> ok
| |
| 17:51 | <vagrantc> typically, XDMCP or ssh X11 forwarding is used, but it can also be configured to use VNC or NX
| |
| 17:51 | <cliebow_> mchristo: i "shadow" clients with x11vnc c
| |
| 17:52 | <mchristo> neat
| |
| 17:52 | <cliebow_> i believe the new ltsp client manager is based on vnc2swf
| |
| 17:52 | <mchristo> cliebow_: Can you also "interact" with their desktop
| |
| 17:52 | <cliebow_> take it right over
| |
| 17:53 | just like vnc
| |
| 17:53 | <mchristo> awesome
| |
| 17:53 | problem solved
| |
| 17:53 | vagrantc, cliebow_ thanks for your help...
| |
| 17:53 | <cliebow_> ive taken over sessions in a school up in the blueberry barrens..from Paris
| |
| 17:55 | mchristo: wiki.ltsp.org..in experimenal is some nx and vnc stuff..but the student controlpanel....client manager looks reaaly awesome for deisty
| |
| 17:56 | err s/d/f
| |
| 17:56 | <mchristo> I will take a look at that... thanks for the great advice.
| |
| 17:57 | <cliebow_> well. the price is right 8~)
| |
| 17:57 | <mchristo> LOL... free as in speech I guess.
| |
| 17:57 | <cliebow_> everything evolves so fast
| |
| 17:57 | hard to keep up..even tuned in here all the time
| |
| 17:59 | i remote admin 12 schools....with an nx server in each school..and important windows machines loaded with tightvnc
| |
| 17:59 | so nx into the server then vnc to a secretaries desktop..
| |
| 18:00 | or use Teach2 to take over an ltsp client
| |
| 18:05 | <mchristo> what's Teach2?
| |
| 18:05 | lemme google it...
| |
| 18:08 | It seems to be some sort of python script... not too much out there on first glance...
| |
| 18:08 | cliebow_: know of any good resources on teach2?
| |
| 18:14 | kusznir has quit IRC | |
| 18:16 | <mchristo> ok folks... gotta go, thanks again for all your help....
