Tiny PC US$99 qty 1, 200Mhz fanless CPU, 128Mb Ram. ($85 qty)..problem is shipping/wiriing money
10:51
<petre>
I've got one of the Devon IT $149 machines; works great
10:51
If you buy 30+ of them, you can get the price down to $130
10:52
<mphill>
nice
10:52
<petre>
they're not as tiny as the Tiny PC, but easier to get
10:52
They're about the size of a hardcover novel
10:52
<mphill>
well thanks, I have to run... I will look into Devon.
10:53
<petre>

11:33

11:34
in that doc... i found packages for a lot of distros... but im using the iso packages into my box.... is there an "localdev" tgz ?
11:40salotti has left #ltsp
11:59

12:41
<cliebow>
sound is an enigma to me...i have it working ore or less..but havnt a clue what was the instrumental step
12:42
but yes..i think nothing changed there.Scottie has been working on it with ogra and jammcq
12:42
<BarryAllen>

13:24
<cliebow>
i can tar one up..but it will be tomorrow prob..cause i have wrong hard drive in the lappie
13:24
<nofxx>
that's all I know...
13:24
hum... i think I get it... I need a i386 already installed... can be on another machine?
13:25
then just put the hd in this pc?
13:26
<cliebow>
you can build on one machine tar it andd move it..i think even you can take edubuntu ltsp5 root file syataem and kernel..and run it on another distro..as long as you use its kernel
13:26
there would be a couple things missing
13:26
<nofxx>
so ... hum.. gonna install edubuntu 32 on machine A, tar all the /
13:27
machine b ltsp-build-client machineA.tar

I have set up ldap authentication for login. I see that libnss_ldap searches for (&(objectClass=shadowAccount)(uid=andyr))
13:43

so im a little confused. Once you install ltsp how do you choose which os you want the thin clients to run?

that was worded terribly... ignore it please

cliebow: did you ever get your $99 mini pc?
20:57
<cliebow>
never did..couldnt get my visa to go thru..school didnt fornt hte money..and for one unit it seemed a lot of overhead
20:57
balls!
20:57
never did..couldnt get my visa to go thru..school didnt front the money..and for one unit it seemed a lot of overhead
20:57
<petre>
I'd like to get one, but I figure I'll wait until a US distributor is established
20:58
'course, that'll probably drive the price up a bit.
20:58
<cliebow>
ive tried to get ron at diskless to look into it..but never made contact
20:59
i tried thru eway.com too..wiring the money was like 30 dollara
20:59
school seems quitre happy iusing junk and lleftovers
21:00
<petre>
one would think someone in the US would be importing them big time
21:00
but I've not heard of anyone doing so thus far
21:01
<cliebow>
really..i have lots of ibooks waiting to die..but cant get em to use windows dhcp
21:01
<petre>
yes, free is nice
21:01
<cliebow>
they would make tidy clients
21:01
<petre>
will they work with linux's dhcpd
21:02
<cliebow>
yep
21:02* petre can't remember the name/TLA of the group that make the stock dhcpd
21:02
<cliebow>
but htey need port 67..and my linux dhcpp is on 1001
21:02
<petre>
ah, and windows dhcpd is on 67?
21:03
<cliebow>
yes
21:03
<petre>
so that ne'er the two shall meet?
21:03
why do you need the windows dhcpd?
21:04
<cliebow>
yes..but most will get htheir paramaeters from windows..like the netvista...i.. dont..need windows dhcp but that is what is set up..
21:05
<petre>
right, gotta fit into existing infrastructure
21:05
are you running any OS X servers?
21:06
<cliebow>
my eyes have gone crossed trying to figure out why an g3 bondi pos will boot perfectly..but the g3 ibook wont from windows
21:06vlt has quit IRC

ive finetoothed the packets..
21:07
windows offers...there is Nothing i can see to make one macintoosh work the other not
21:08
other than knowing one requires bootp..the other dhcp
21:08
<petre>
I thought all Macs were the same ;-)
21:08
<cliebow>
me too...
21:08
<petre>
at least, that's what my mac friends brag about
21:08
<cliebow>
course the minimac is another hoss altogether
21:08
<petre>
brag is probably too strong a word, but you get the idea
21:08
<cliebow>
yes
21:08
<petre>
do you know if anyone has gotten sound working with Mac TCs?
21:09
<cliebow>
the proprietary stuff drives me crazy..
21:09
<petre>
I thought I saw something on the K12LTSP list about a while back, but can't find anything in the archives now
21:09
<cliebow>
yes i know several that have claimed to.havnt tried to reprofuce
21:09
<petre>
I think Kronebusch had to give up and move onto other things before he got it working
21:10
<cliebow>
stefan even claims to have sound on the ibm netvista client
21:10
with a ppc cpu
21:10
<petre>
yeah, been following that; sounds cool
21:10
more cpu archs, the better
21:10
<cliebow>
nice work..tjhough i havnt made it work yet 8`)
21:11
<petre>
my (kids') school has a ton of old macs
21:11
<cliebow>
i wish diskless could make their clients more affordable..they gave me one to show off ..but no takers at 300 each..
21:12
<petre>
they'd make great TCs, but the techs aren't very adventurous, so if sound doesn't work, they won't even try I suspect
21:12
<cliebow>
the macs without openfirmware ive never tacckled
21:12
<petre>
yeah, I'd love to support jamcq's company, but the price is a bit high
21:12
<cliebow>
id bet using the ltsp5 of ogras they would..for a root filesystem
21:13
<petre>
Devon has better prices, though I've only got one unit
21:14
you think ogra's 5 sound will work with the old macs?
21:14
is that all the gstreamer stuff?
21:14
sorry, you meant the openfirmware macs
21:14
<cliebow>
id need to ask..to be sure..the soundcard detection should be awesome
21:15
<petre>
are those the older ones
21:15
<cliebow>
are yours openfirmware?
21:15
<petre>
not sure--don't know my macs too well
21:15
for the pilot I got the superintendent to finance, we're using a bunch of dell laptops that my company donated
21:15
about 80 of 'em
21:15
<cliebow>
at boot..try cmd-opt o-f see if they boot to openfirmware
21:16
are they puce? and lime green..and other really "newworld"colors?
21:17
<petre>
those are the transluscent, kinda high gloss colored ones, right?
21:17
I've seen some blue ones, some greyish ones
21:17
<cliebow>
ummmm..not too sure..if they boot to openfirmware they should netboot
21:17
<vagrantc>
sound detection for ubuntu's ltsp5 should be as good as sound card detection for ubuntu ...
21:18
<petre>
They also have a bunch of really old beige plastic cased ones
21:18
<vagrantc>
that's the whole idea behind ltsp 5 :)
21:18
<cliebow>
otherwise..nmo one i know of has worked out the details to make em "chubby" clients
21:18
<vagrantc>
though there's a few gotchas, with remote sound ...
21:18
<petre>
vagrantc: I bought a celeron box recently, MSI motherboard I think
21:18
dapper won't run, nor will edgy
21:19
it locks up during the hardware detection
21:19
bummer
21:19
OTOH, fedora 6 installed without a hitch, so that's what it's running now.
21:19
<cliebow>
i had one today crap out with edgy..but dapper installed fine
21:19
<petre>
I'm hoping feisty will run on it.
21:20
install nothing--I can't even get it to run from the livecd
21:20J45p3r has quit IRC
21:20
<cliebow>
petre..let me know if your macs boot to openfirmware..
21:21
<petre>
I'll check next week (not this coming week--the tech at the school is on vacation this coming week)
21:21
I had a loaner mac for a while; it netbooted
21:22
<cliebow>
i used nubus mac s chubbies for a year...with kernel/initrd on the local hard drive..but i used mklinux booter nd that wot work on g3..far as i know\\
21:22
<petre>
I recall that you helped me get that running
21:22
but I had to give it back when fall came
21:22
the screen was always a bit dim i thought
21:22
<cliebow>
i did?? Cool!! there is a cetain amount of voodoo and pixie duxt involved locally
21:23
that i cant help with from maine
21:23
<petre>
my hope has always been that the school techs, once they see the ease of administration with a LTSP,
21:23
would use their old macs as thin or chubby clients
21:23
<cliebow>
absolutely..
21:23
<petre>
the tech director even understands the idea, but nothing ever comes of it
21:24
may be a bit of 'not invented here'
21:24
<cliebow>
i run remote admin for twelve schools all alone..but it takes 3 to keep the windows side going just for our district
21:25
<petre>
they also have to support the computer labs in the 'community-centers-that-used-to-be-schools'
21:25
which would be perfect for thin clients
21:25
we have three techs in the district office, which is attached to the high school
21:25
<cliebow>
it is a lot more complicated..but just the same i can take over a session in any school and see what they are having trouble with
21:25
<petre>
plus one tech in each of the elem. schools and the jr high.
21:26
<cliebow>
nx rocks!
21:26
<petre>
yeah, I love nx
21:27
<cliebow>
petre: i gotta pack it in..see ya next time around...lemme know if i can help with the ppc side
21:27
<petre>
will do
21:28
