hi all, a few months ago I setup a ltsp server, its works well so far. Now, I realized, there is a new kernel installed in the ltsp server. How can I make sure the clients can also use a new kernel?
05:25
<sep>
cryptom, depends on your ltsp version, i use ltsp-update-kernels in ltsp5
05:27
<cryptom>
ok, I tried that, but I dont think it worked. I use ubuntu-server (edgy)
05:29
sep, no, I dont have ltsp5, can I get that with ubuntu packages?
05:31
sep, ltsp-server package 0.124
05:37
I saw that ltsp-update-kernels copies the kernel for /opt/ltsp/i386 to the tftp root. how do I put the current kernel in /opt/ltsp/i386?

cryptom, i guess you chroot into itm, and install it using the package tools there
05:59
<cryptom>
sep, oh god, yes. Now I remember... first, I wanted to install all the software in the chroot... now I even forgot to install the most basic thing there... thanks

...then my clients can join to gdm
10:46

hi petre
11:12
<petre>
hi CaPRiCorN^80
11:12
<CaPRiCorN^80>
how r u ?
11:13
<petre>
tired: was up until 2am applying patches on some Sun boxes
11:13* petre is not nocturnal
11:14
<CaPRiCorN^80>
ok
11:14
<petre>
but, with the help of #ltsp, I got my sound issues resolved!
11:14
<CaPRiCorN^80>
but dont leave . i m also reall tired but got here to ask u abot that sound thing
11:14
well right sun really make life hell some times
11:14
<petre>
I'll try, though I'm no sound guru
11:15
<CaPRiCorN^80>
as u told about lsmod
11:15
i did that in office and got output i.e
11:15
<petre>
did it show a sound module having been loaded?
11:16
<CaPRiCorN^80>
wat i did was lsmod | grep snd
11:16
n this is the output
11:16
lsmod | grep snd
11:16
snd_pcm_oss 51488 0
11:16
snd_pcm 87560 9 snd_pcm_oss
11:16
snd_time 24452 1 snd_pcm

snd_mixer_oss 17980 1 snd_pcm_0ss
11:16
snd 53120 snd_pcm_oss , snd_pcm , snd_timer , snd_mixer_oss
11:16
soundcore 10336 2 snd,sound
11:17
<petre>
was there anything for snd_ac97_codec?
11:17
<CaPRiCorN^80>
and
11:18
<petre>
That's where I see my driver listed
11:18
<CaPRiCorN^80>
lsmod | grep sound
11:18
sound 80016 1 uart 401
11:18
soundcore 10336 2 snd,sound
11:18
well i pasted all wat i got using lsmod
11:19
<petre>
I don't see anything that looks like the base driver, just the stuff that depends on the driver
11:19
OTOH, I'm not sure if that stuff would load if a driver were not present
11:20
did you see any errors related to sound when the client was booting up?
11:20
<CaPRiCorN^80>
but as i told u when i didnt have pci card n when i tried to run wav or mp3 it gave me error . but now i can play sounds using realplayer but cannot hear it
11:24
<petre>
do you hear sounds played via esdplay?
11:24
<CaPRiCorN^80>
no i can't hear it
11:25
its just the player who played music
11:26
<mistik1>
petre: did everything work out for you last night?
11:26
<petre>
mistik1: yes!
11:26
thanks for your help
11:26
<mistik1>
np
11:26
<petre>
your suggestions to put stuff into the rc.sound file got me looking at it
11:26
and that's when I noticed there was stuff missing.
11:26
<CaPRiCorN^80>
petre: wat u suggest
11:27iloadmin has quit IRC
11:27
<CaPRiCorN^80>
i dont know wat to do :(
11:27
<petre>
turns out, in Gadi's oss-alsa sound package, the rc.sound script never got copied over for some reason
11:27
once I put that into place, everything worked.
11:28
everything had worked when I put those pieces in you suggested, but I wanted to know why they were automatically working
11:28
since it worked on my k12ltsp 5 box
11:28
I probably just didn't pay close enough attention during Gadi's install script
11:29
CaPRiCorN^80: can you boot a knoppix disk on the client?
11:29
knoppix has great hardware detection
11:29
if sound works with that, see what driver it's using
11:30
then look for that in etc/audiolist
11:30
<CaPRiCorN^80>
hmm .. ok i will do that tomorrow
11:30
<petre>
actually, I think what you have to do is run lspci and lsmod under knoppix
11:31
to get the right info
11:31
<CaPRiCorN^80>
u were saying some thing about /tmp/info/SOUND .
11:31
<petre>
that just shows if sound is enabled in lts.conf
11:31
<CaPRiCorN^80>
yes
11:31
i did check that its cat /tmp/info/SOUND n its output was Y
11:32
<petre>
then you don't need to worry about /tmp/info/SOUND anymore
11:32
<CaPRiCorN^80>
petre: u using k12ltsp fedora distrobution ?
11:32
<petre>
yes
11:32
<CaPRiCorN^80>
did u ever face usb mouting problems ?
11:32
<petre>
yes, but I think it was with an earlier version of ltsp 4.2
11:33
later releases fixed the problem I had
11:33
<CaPRiCorN^80>
which version u are using now ?
11:33
<petre>
k12ltsp 5 and 6
11:33
just started working on setting up 6 on new laptop
11:34
<CaPRiCorN^80>
k12ltsp 5 and 6 ??? ... i m asking u ltsp version ?
11:34
<irule>
guys I installed 1 linux server for 20 X terminals that all rdesktop a windows server, it seems the traffic is all going through linux and I can see a very slow refresh rate once X temrinals are in a remote windows desktop session, is it possible to install more network cards connnected to the same router and make XDMCP listen on the aditional cards to distribute the load?
11:34
<petre>
ltsp 4.2.4
11:35
I think that's the latest release in the 4.2.x series
11:35
<irule>
is there a method to upgrade from 4.2.2?
11:35
<sepski>
irule, instead of using the thinclients to connect to the linux server and running rdesktop from there, use rdesktop on the clients directly.
11:35
<irule>
as a local app?
11:35
<sepski>
yeah
11:36
<irule>
great idea, thanks
11:36
<CaPRiCorN^80>
petre: u know my clients really stuck by usb problems like when they insert there usb . usb icons do appear but it show some old data etc
11:37
<petre>
yeah, usb is great most of the time, but sometimes acts a bit weird
11:37
sometimes = different hardware and usb sticks
11:38bricode_ has joined #ltsp
11:38
<petre>
best thing to do is follow the local device checklist *very carefully*
11:38
<CaPRiCorN^80>
well my all clients got the same usb's but still they face problem . its not that usb dont mount its the static data . like if they copy some data today they dont see it tomorrow only older data will be there
11:38
i did follow that
11:38
one more thing
11:39
wats your echo $DISPLAY output ?
11:39bricode has quit IRC
11:40
<petre>
ws001.ltsp:0.0
11:41
<CaPRiCorN^80>
right
11:41
n wats the output of hostname ?
11:42
<petre>
k12ltsp
11:42
but hostname is showing the server's hostname
11:42
<CaPRiCorN^80>
no it should be ws001
11:43
run hostname in shell
11:43
<petre>
if I Ctrl-Alt-F2 over to the client's command prompt, and run hostname, it says ws001
11:43
<CaPRiCorN^80>
ok
11:43
well i got the same thing
11:43
<petre>
but there is no $DISPLAY defined at the command prompt level
11:43
<CaPRiCorN^80>
but sbleave said it should the same in both cases
11:45
echo $DISPLAY n hostname show the same output i.e ws001
11:45
<petre>
hmm, not sure about that
11:45
he's the expert
11:45
<CaPRiCorN^80>
yes
11:46
<petre>
he wrote it
11:46
<CaPRiCorN^80>
but i have seen the same output of echo$DISPLAY on k12ltsp FAQ
11:46
it means it work like this on k12ltsp
11:47
as i m using ltsp version 4.2 so how can i update it without disturbing the existing settings ?
11:47
<petre>
not sure
11:48
are you using k12ltsp?
11:48
<CaPRiCorN^80>
yes
11:48
<petre>
which version
11:48
<CaPRiCorN^80>
k12ltsp 5 n 6 confused me when u said that .. i m not sure which k12ltsp using but it fc5
11:48
k12ltsp 5 n 6 confused me when u said that .. i m not sure which k12ltsp using but its fc5
11:49
<petre>
that would be k12ltsp version 5
11:49
<CaPRiCorN^80>
ok
11:49
<petre>
the version parallels the version of fedora being used
11:49
<CaPRiCorN^80>
ok
11:49
i think u told me that u are using version 6 ?
11:50
<petre>
I've got both versions, running on differen boxes
11:50
<CaPRiCorN^80>
ok
11:50
<petre>
but usb has worked fine on my k12ltsp 5 box
11:50
<CaPRiCorN^80>
but some times creates problem on mine
11:51
<petre>
the problems I was having were related to getting double icons, as I recall
11:51J45p3r_ has quit IRC
11:51
<petre>
and wanting to block out floppy drives from appearing since I use etherboot floppies
11:51
<CaPRiCorN^80>

11:52
<mistik1>
petre the new sound expert ;)
11:53
<petre>
no, petre the new sound refugee
11:53
<mistik1>
ha, no way, You get to solve all the sound issues now
11:53* petre REALLY wants the gstreamer & pulseaudio stuff to work and become commonplace
11:53
<mistik1>
Best way to learn is to teach ;-)
11:54
<petre>
oh, I know that, that's why I try to jump in even where I don't know what I'm doing
11:54
plenty of opportunity for that :-)
11:54
<mistik1>
sure thing
11:54
<CaPRiCorN^80>
petre: wats ur ls -l /dev/fuse output ?

I've got nine partitions so far (Windows takes up two or three) for different distros

hi all
13:01
<CaPRiCorN^80>
i mean for any specific thin station u did any settings ?
13:02
<knight>
what command can I use instead of mknbi for ubuntu
13:02
<CaPRiCorN^80>
like i pasted u yesterday for my ws117
13:03
<petre>
no, I don't have any settings for specific terminals ATM
13:03
<CaPRiCorN^80>
then u r lucky that ur sound is working
13:03
<petre>
that may change as I've noticed that some ISA cards I have that used to work are not working now
13:05
<CaPRiCorN^80>
hmm
13:05
<knight>
anybody know of the alternative to mknbi command in ubuntu
13:06
<CaPRiCorN^80>

Do you guys think there are many people running i386 as thin-clients?
13:11
<CaPRiCorN^80>
yes
13:11
<knight>
yup
13:11
<CaPRiCorN^80>
but not i386 . we are using 400 Mhz pI
13:11
<mistik1>
386?
13:11
<cliebow>
mistik1:you mean rather than ppc?
13:12
<mistik1>
vs 486 586 686
13:12
<petre>
mistik1: not so much any more
13:13
<cliebow>
hmm.we are pretty downwardly mobile..and draw the line at p1
13:13
<petre>
386 works for command line terms but not gui
13:13
<jammcq>
I think 486 is the lowest you need to worry about
13:13
<petre>
I've got a p133 I use for demos
13:13
got a 486 too, but video is a bit choppy
13:14
<mistik1>
jammcq: which is what I was thinking
13:14
<jammcq>
the reason you need to stick with 486, is cuz lots of low-end processors like the SiS chips are actually 486's with some additional stuff
13:14
<petre>
interesting

<jammcq>
the aren't really 486's, but they don't support all of the instructions of a 586, so we can't use 586 as the lowest cpu to support
13:16
<petre>
would there be any benefit to making the 586 the lowest supported cpu?
13:17
<jammcq>
586's contain some better instructions that can improve performance, but we can't do that, cuz of the SiS processors
13:17
and there's alot of thin clients out there using those
13:17
<petre>
right, I'm not advocating such a standard
13:18
I was just wondering what the benefit would be, if any, if 586 was the bottom rung

when i get to modprobe on the client i get problems with transmit time out, then kernel panic. anyone any ideas

<iloadmin>
how do I do that
14:28
<erdinc>
http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~erdinc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
14:28
take a look at this
14:28
<iloadmin>
I made some changes
14:28
on mine
14:28
<mistik1>
DO you have an interface up with the subnet configured in dhcpd.conf?
14:29
<erdinc>
mistik1 he didnt :)
14:29
<mistik1>
erdinc: I would not think so
14:29
for the error
14:29
<erdinc>
there is no interface assigned for dhcp
14:29
he should do that
14:29
<iloadmin>
yupo
14:30
<erdinc>
he got more than one eth
14:30
<iloadmin>
yes I do

ubuntu should have sysconfig or something like this

you should set like: dhcpd_ifaces="eth1"
14:39
<iloadmin>
ok
14:39
my question is'
14:39jammcq has quit IRC
14:39
<iloadmin>
is there something to setup the dhcp for an interface
14:40
<erdinc>
or you can setup you subnet same with your interface
14:40
in this case dhcpd will be working on this interface

hi to everybody!
15:37
I have an old xcel2000 motherboard that has in his bios boot options a "Network" one
15:37
but It has not an internal lan card
15:37
I've put an external LAN card
15:38
I wanto to make the Network option works
15:38prpplague has quit IRC
15:38
<knitoperu>
Anyone knows if it's possible?
15:40parsley has quit IRC
15:40
<bricode>
knitoperu: What type of external lan card?
15:41
<knitoperu>
It's not an "external one", It's a not built in one
15:41freemindx has quit IRC
15:41
<knitoperu>
an usual PCI nic
15:41
<bricode>
You should look at etherboot.
15:42
knitoperu: It can add a ROM to the PCI nic to allow it to network boot.
15:42
<knitoperu>
the question is how I tell the motherboard to boot from a PCI slot
15:42Skarmeth has joined #ltsp
15:43
<knitoperu>
Ok, then The motherboard Network option, make that the motherboard looks for a boot rom?
15:44
<bricode>
knitoperu: I think so, but am not sure.
15:44
<knitoperu>
I have some motherboards with PXE boot and built-in NIC that boot from network
15:44
but It could not be the case
15:45
I Understand
15:45
Where and what I need to look, to know what is missing?
15:46
<bricode>
knitoperu: You can build your own PXE boot utilities at http://rom-o-matic.net/5.4.2/
15:47
knitoperu: One option is to replace the ROM on the PCI nic (if it does not PXE boot already).
15:47
knitoperu: Another is to create a boot floppy or boot CDROM.
15:48
<knitoperu>
I know it, I'm trying to boot from a rom thing and not from floppy or cd (triying to kiss)
15:49
Ithink that I have conffused network boot capability with boot rom NIC capability
15:49
I need to try with a boot rom NIC
15:49
<bricode>
knitoperu: Do you know what type of PCI card it is? Do an lspci -v
15:52
<knitoperu>
I dont have how to boot in it right now
15:52kaos01 has joined #ltsp
15:52
<knitoperu>
I will find a cdrom and a live-disk to
15:52
what I need to look into lspci -v?
15:55
<bricode>
knitoperu: It will tell you the chip that is on the card.
15:55
knitoperu: Alternatively you can just look at the chip on the card.
15:56
<knitoperu>
is a vt-6105
15:57
and I have an empty boot rom slot
15:57
That's the problem
15:58
I think That I need the boot rom chip, the NIC's software to let it check for the boot rom
15:58
AND the network boot option in the motherboard
15:59
I need all them
16:00
I've suposed that only motherboard's network boot capability was enough
16:02

shouldn't a file moved to a directory with 4775 permissions end up with the same group as the directory?
16:38
copying the file seems to work this way (as desired) but moving a file seems to keep the original group
16:38
is this normal?
16:38
(yeah, this isn't really a LTSP question, but it's in regard to an LTSP site)
16:40
<cliebow_>
petre: is the folder setgid?
16:40
<petre>
yes
16:40
that's what the 4 does
16:41
oh, wait, that should be 2775
16:41
well, ls on the directory shows drwxrwsr-x
16:42
I've used this for years to keep a group's shared files writeable by all
16:42
<cliebow_>
id have to looka t one o mine..
16:42
<petre>
but on my fc6 system, moving a file preserves the original group
16:44
<cliebow_>
drwxrws---
16:45
in my case user i s owner and k2 is group
16:46
<petre>
if you copy a file into that shared directory, it should have the new group assigned to it
16:46
but if you move a file, it keeps the same group, usually the private group of the user

17:13
<sh3mh4mf0r4sh>
he
17:13
yes
17:13
<cliebow_>
look in screen.d in your chroot /etc
17:13
<sh3mh4mf0r4sh>
y delete S21gdm at rc3.d
17:13
<cliebow_>
no
17:13
<petre>
that normally doesn't work unless you're starting gdm manually
17:13
<cliebow_>
i dont think
17:15
<sh3mh4mf0r4sh>
not work :)
17:15
let me c to chroot
17:16
<cliebow_>
be careful..you will break something
17:17
<sh3mh4mf0r4sh>
ok
17:17
what i do then?
17:17
exactly
17:18
i c the file
17:18
startx
17:18
<cliebow_>
or shell
17:18

it is possible to bond nics, if your switch supports it
