| 06:36 | <sep> IRCzito, not realy
| |
| 06:37 | just chroot into your ltsp dir (/opt/ltsp/i386
| |
| 06:37 | and do your kenel in there as the usualy instructions for your distribution
| |
| 06:37 | then use ltsp-update-kernels

| 06:51 | <davidj> Good morning, all.
| |
| 06:52 | * davidj is just lurking ATM | |
| 06:52 | <IRCzito> sep: hummm ok
| |
| 06:52 | sep: thanks
| |
| 06:54 | <ogra> IRCzito, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild install the resulting package in the chroot and as sep said, run ltsp-update-kernels outside the chroot
| |
| 06:54 | Avatara has quit IRC | |
| 06:55 | <ogra> IRCzito, if you use ltsp5 with debian there should be a similar howto ...

| 07:03 | <sep> IRCzito, i just used a kernel from backports.org on debian.

| 07:11 | <envite> hello all from Spain
| |
| 07:13 | klausade has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:16 | <davidj> envite: Hello from US
| |
| 07:21 | <envite> Hello davidj
| |
| 07:22 | jammcq has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:24 | egypcio has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:24 | <davidj> jammcq: good morning.
| |
| 07:25 | <jammcq> davidj: hey, how ya doin?
| |
| 07:26 | <davidj> Not bad
| |
| 07:26 | You?
| |
| 07:26 | envite: Where are you in Spain?
| |
| 07:26 | <envite> davidj: Canary Islands
| |
| 07:27 | <jammcq> hmm, that's almost spain, eh?
| |
| 07:27 | <envite> jammcq: Canary Islands is Spain in the same sense that Madrid is
| |
| 07:27 | <davidj> I've got a great friend who's from the Canarias. He lives in Castellon now..
| |
| 07:28 | jammcq: Quit yanking envite's chain ;-)
| |
| 07:28 | envite: jammcq te est'a tomando el pelo
| |
| 07:28 | <envite> nah :)
| |
| 07:28 | <jammcq> envite: cool
| |
| 07:29 | <davidj> Hmm, my keyboard layout hotkey isn't working. Wonder why?
| |
| 07:31 | <envite> davidj: about your keyboard, are you talking about X or console?
| |
| 07:31 | <davidj> console
| |
| 07:31 | I had it working a while back, but not now.
| |
| 07:32 | <envite> huh, I've never fixed that in console
| |
| 07:32 | <davidj> I've been tinkering a lot on this machine.
| |
| 07:33 | bip has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:33 | <bip> hello ...
| |
| 07:33 | <davidj> It still works manually, though
| |
| 07:33 | <bip> i was here yesterday with an other nick
| |
| 07:33 | discussing the possibility of usingg etherboot for PC cards
| |
| 07:37 | FernandoMM has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:39 | <bip> now i have checked and i see no reason why an etherboot floppy cannot be built ...
| |
| 07:40 | but once i manage to get etherboot working will the kernel of ltsp 4.2 work with such setup ?
| |
| 07:40 | <jammcq> bip: what kind of card?
| |
| 07:40 | <bip> it s a 32 bit pc card jammcq
| |
| 07:41 | <jammcq> good luck with that
| |
| 07:41 | <bip> not sure about chipset ...
| |
| 07:41 | ok
| |
| 07:41 | but am i right eherboot wil work
| |
| 07:41 | <jammcq> why do you think it'll work?
| |
| 07:41 | <bip> then the ltsp kernel will panic right jammcq ?
| |
| 07:41 | well
| |
| 07:41 | i was reading the docs today and i didn t see any reason it should t work
| |
| 07:42 | beside today a colleague told me on the phone that he thinks thos cards r usually seen as pci card by the kernel
| |
| 07:42 | but hey we could surely be both wrong jammcq
| |
| 07:42 | <jammcq> once the pci-pcmcia bridge is up and running
| |
| 07:43 | <bip> i dont have the card here now so i cant do much further testing
| |
| 07:43 | and etherbot has issues with that bridge jammcq ?
| |
| 07:43 | or is ltsp having issue ?
| |
| 07:43 | i m trying to understand the problem now
| |
| 07:44 | first i need to undertsand then fix or maybe just skip ;-)
| |
| 07:47 | is etherboot working with pci-pcmcia bridge jammcq ?
| |
| 07:47 | or it does not ?
| |
| 07:47 | <jammcq> there is very minimal support for that
| |
| 07:47 | <bip> mmm
| |
| 07:47 | ok
| |
| 07:47 | <jammcq> go to the #etherboot channel and ask mdc or anselm
| |
| 07:48 | <bip> ok
| |
| 07:48 | thanx for the hint
| |
| 07:48 | :)
| |
| 07:48 | everybody is always nice and helpful here :)
| |
| 07:49 | <envite> bip: no, I'm almost always a bad bug here ;)
| |
| 07:50 | <bip> well i m a bastard too
| |
| 07:50 | but not here ;-)
| |
| 07:55 | egypcio has quit IRC | |
| 08:04 | <davidj> jammcq: I just ran across a package called cachefilesd. Have you heard of it?
| |
| 08:07 | sh3mh4mf0r4sh has quit IRC | |
| 08:11 | <jammcq> davidj: haven't seen it. what does it do?
| |
| 08:12 | <davidj> cache nfs locally on disk
| |
| 08:12 | <jammcq> hmm
| |
| 08:13 | <davidj> That was my response ;-)
| |
| 08:13 | Most ltsp terminals don't have disks, but in large networks it might be interesting.
| |
| 08:13 | <jammcq> i'm just thinking there's a tradeoff between nfs speed and memory usage
| |
| 08:14 | <davidj> I haven't played with it to see how much memory it needs.
| |
| 08:14 | <jammcq> well, it's gonna need as much as it caches
| |
| 08:15 | i'd imagine you could tune how large the cache is, and it would throw away old things in the cache, if it got full
| |
| 08:15 | <davidj> docs say it hooks the kernel's file cache cleanup routine so that it copies files to disk instead of dumping them.
| |
| 08:16 | <jammcq> "disk" ?
| |
| 08:16 | <davidj> disk
| |
| 08:16 | <jammcq> we don't have no stinking disks
| |
| 08:16 | <davidj> heh
| |
| 08:16 | They are useful on memory-limitted terminals
| |
| 08:16 | <jammcq> to some people
| |
| 08:16 | <davidj> I've been using them for swap
| |
| 08:17 | <jammcq> I prefer to get rid of all moving parts
| |
| 08:17 | moving parts are a liability
| |
| 08:17 | <davidj> Me, too, as an ideal, but in some cases it's more expedient to leave the disk in and use it.
| |
| 08:26 | bengoa has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:28 | <bip> jammcq, ok i spoke with mdc
| |
| 08:28 | and we decided that booting from local disk is the better option
| |
| 08:28 | <jammcq> :)
| |
| 08:29 | <bip> now i have a question
| |
| 08:29 | can i boot from local media while still enjoyn all the remote server power jammcq ?
| |
| 08:29 | <jammcq> sure
| |
| 08:30 | <bip> and do u know if this sort of setup has been already documented somewhere ?
| |
| 08:30 | i m sure i m not the first one to do this
| |
| 08:30 | i will chek the wiki now ...
| |
| 08:30 | <envite> that is not really ltsp
| |
| 08:30 | <bip> it s not ?
| |
| 08:30 | why ?
| |
| 08:30 | <envite> but it is easier to do ;)
| |
| 08:30 | <jammcq> http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/BootingFromLocalDevice
| |
| 08:30 | <bip> thanc jammcq :)
| |
| 08:31 | this is exactly what i needed :)
| |
| 08:31 | <envite> most ltsp problems for starters are for kernel and nfs passing
| |
| 08:31 | in local booting you can avoid that
| |
| 08:31 | <bip> well i m not really a suysadmin either envite ;-)
| |
| 08:32 | <envite> don't worry, nobody's perfect ;) I can't understand common english speech

| |
| 08:35 | <envite> jajajajajajajajajaj
| |
| 08:37 | <bip> ok i have this setup
| |
| 08:38 | sh3mh4mf0r4sh has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:38 | <bip> i have a perfectly working ltsp server into a vmware machine
| |
| 08:38 | if tell my laptop to netboot it will boot from that server
| |
| 08:41 | now i d love to trick that same laptop into using the pendrive instead
| |
| 08:41 | just to understand the concept of botting ltsp from local device
| |
| 08:50 | does standard ltsp kernel support PCMCIA ?
| |
| 08:51 | if i boot from cd can i use stock ltsp kernel jammcq ?
| |
| 08:54 | sbalneav has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:54 | <sbalneav> Morning all
| |
| 08:55 | !seen ogra
| |
| 08:55 | <ltspbot> sbalneav: ogra was last seen in #ltsp 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 9 seconds ago: <ogra> IRCzito, if you use ltsp5 with debian there should be a similar howto ...
| |
| 08:55 | <jammcq> Scotty SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
| |
| 08:55 | <sbalneav> hey jammcq

| 10:14 | <Tarcisio> nenhum brasileiro
| |
| 10:14 | ou fale portugues
| |
| 10:14 | <bip> ok to do what i need to do i need to use LBE
| |
| 10:15 | not bein a developer a need some gentle pokin in the right direction .
| |
| 10:15 | in folllowing this howto:
| |
| 10:15 | http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/BootingFromLocalDevice
| |
| 10:16 | when it says :
| |
| 10:16 | Create a kernel source tree:
| |
| 10:16 | <sbalneav> Are you trying to boot from a PCMCIA
| |
| 10:16 | <bip> no i m not
| |
| 10:16 | iim bypassing that sbalneav
| |
| 10:17 | i wanna boot from cd
| |
| 10:17 | Tarcisio has quit IRC | |
| 10:17 | <bip> but apparently to boot from a local device i need to buil my own custom kernel sbalneav
| |
| 10:17 | i collected some docs
| |
| 10:18 | but some of the thing needs a tad of clarification
| |
| 10:18 | for example when they say buil a kernel tre a wonder what r they tryin to say exactly ?
| |
| 10:18 | something like get the kernel tarbal anbd untar it into a dir ?
| |
| 10:19 | why they dont just say that ? ;-)
| |
| 10:19 | i can understadn that
| |
| 10:19 | but what means build the kernle tree ?
| |
| 10:19 | if i sound dumb ...
| |
| 10:19 | it is becaus ei m dumb
| |
| 10:19 | <sbalneav> It means what you just said.
| |
| 10:20 | <bip> ok
| |
| 10:20 | <sbalneav> But why boot off of a cd?
| |
| 10:20 | <bip> well
| |
| 10:20 | because i cant boot from network
| |
| 10:20 | <sbalneav> Why not?
| |
| 10:20 | <bip> what should i boot from sbalneav ?
| |
| 10:20 | because it s a pc card and a old laptop
| |
| 10:21 | <sbalneav> So it's a PCMCIA network card?
| |
| 10:21 | <bip> so etherboot doesnt support it
| |
| 10:21 | yes
| |
| 10:21 | and the bios doesnt include booting from network at all
| |
| 10:21 | <sbalneav> heh, I asked you above if you were trying to boot from a PCMCIA card.
| |
| 10:21 | you said no
| |
| 10:21 | <bip> sorry i was confused
| |
| 10:22 | i thought u were askin me if i was tryin to boot from that card
| |
| 10:22 | and since i decided i cvan t
| |
| 10:22 | now i m not tryin to boot from that card sbalneav
| |
| 10:22 | i have apc card
| |
| 10:22 | i d lve to boot from it
| |
| 10:22 | but since it isnt possible i m tryin to figure a workaround
| |
| 10:22 | <sbalneav> a pc card? You mean, like a PCI based card? How'd you get that in a laptop
| |
| 10:23 | <bip> no no
| |
| 10:23 | a PCMCIA card
| |
| 10:23 | i said pc
| |
| 10:23 | <sbalneav> ah, ok, same card.
| |
| 10:23 | <bip> because i am lazy
| |
| 10:23 | yeah same card
| |
| 10:23 | it s a old useless laptop
| |
| 10:23 | k6
| |
| 10:23 | small hd
| |
| 10:23 | lil ram
| |
| 10:23 | useless
| |
| 10:23 | but it s tiny
| |
| 10:23 | <sbalneav> So why not do this.
| |
| 10:23 | <bip> so it would be a nice thin client
| |
| 10:23 | Tarcisio has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:23 | <sbalneav> 1) install debian basic
| |
| 10:24 | <bip> wait i need to preserve the hd content
| |
| 10:24 | <sbalneav> 2) change the X startup to do a X -query <serverip>
| |
| 10:24 | <Lumiere> change 1 to install debian basic on a 2G usb key
| |
| 10:25 | <bip> so i coulld install debian basic only if i could fit it into a very smal slice of the hd
| |
| 10:25 | <Lumiere> and you can still do the same thing
| |
| 10:25 | <sbalneav> That too.
| |
| 10:25 | <bip> wait
| |
| 10:25 | this old sucker can t boot from usb
| |
| 10:25 | <Lumiere> well boo
| |
| 10:25 | <bip> and if it has usb it s very slow usb
| |
| 10:25 | <Lumiere> you don't care how fast the USB is
| |
| 10:25 | <bip> ok
| |
| 10:25 | but it doesbt certanly boot from usb
| |
| 10:26 | so even if it has a usb port
| |
| 10:26 | <Lumiere> what os is it using?
| |
| 10:26 | <bip> it ha winows xp now
| |
| 10:26 | but runs slows as hell
| |
| 10:26 | <Lumiere> bleh
| |
| 10:26 | cliebow__ has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:26 | <sbalneav> bip: the 4.2 series of LTSP is essentially unsupported now. Here's another option
| |
| 10:26 | <bip> so i m talkin em into turnin it into a linux diskless terminal now
| |
| 10:26 | <sbalneav> boot a knoppix cd, and customize it to do an X -query <serverip>
| |
| 10:27 | <bip> well i have already a up and running 4.2 server sbalneav
| |
| 10:27 | so it would be nice if i couldf get that client to boot
| |
| 10:27 | <sbalneav> yeah, ok, I realize that.
| |
| 10:27 | <bip> the server is already up and running
| |
| 10:27 | cliebow_ has quit IRC | |
| 10:27 | <bip> i jsut need to figure how to get the lil sucker to work
| |
| 10:27 | <sbalneav> but you're going to have to build a custom cd from scratch. That stuff isn't in LBE.
| |
| 10:27 | sepski has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:27 | <sbalneav> We've never supported it.
| |
| 10:28 | <bip> well in the wiki there is a falsh card booting howto
| |
| 10:28 | cliebow_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:28 | <bip> i wondered if i could adpt that to cd booting sbalneav
| |
| 10:28 | <sbalneav> Sure, but you'd be on your own.
| |
| 10:28 | <bip> i have a generic cd booti g howto
| |
| 10:29 | well actually i have 3 links then tell what i need
| |
| 10:29 | i just can t figure how to merge em into something i understand
| |
| 10:29 | well it s a nice hack
| |
| 10:29 | <sbalneav> How much development experience do you have?
| |
| 10:29 | <bip> ii m sure there r mmany of those laptops around sbalneav
| |
| 10:29 | well i have been compiling some tarballs
| |
| 10:30 | but i m not a coder
| |
| 10:30 | i havce been using linux for over 5 years
| |
| 10:30 | <sbalneav> I'd say it'd be a big job.
| |
| 10:30 | <bip> and if i m forced i compile
| |
| 10:30 | but usually i prefer to use binaries
| |
| 10:30 | so what r the options ?
| |
| 10:31 | lstp 5 would serve me better ?
| |
| 10:31 | <sbalneav> That's the server side.
| |
| 10:31 | <bip> get an other client ?
| |
| 10:31 | yeah
| |
| 10:31 | i m exploring all the possible options
| |
| 10:31 | <sbalneav> Like I say
| |
| 10:32 | <bip> og course since i have a working ltsp 4.2 install i d let that option last
| |
| 10:32 | <sbalneav> boot knoppix, start X with X -query <server ip>
| |
| 10:32 | <bip> knoppix from client ?
| |
| 10:32 | u use knoppix has boot cd right ?
| |
| 10:32 | u would
| |
| 10:32 | <sbalneav> All ltsp does is just get you a working X server that can talk to a remote client. Knoppix will do that just as well, and they already have all the PCMCIA stuff figured out.
| |
| 10:32 | <bip> interesting
| |
| 10:33 | ok
| |
| 10:33 | yeah makes sense
| |
| 10:33 | and sounds fast
| |
| 10:33 | il try this
| |
| 10:33 | very smart
| |
| 10:33 | good i will let u know how it works
| |
| 10:34 | did i already say what a bunch of great guys u r here ? ;-)
| |
| 10:34 | gepatino has quit IRC | |
| 10:35 | <bip> so i boot knoppix in text mode
| |
| 10:35 | and when i m into a console i just type startx -query server ip ?
| |
| 10:36 | i wasnt jokin ...
| |
| 10:36 | when i said i m dumb ;-)

| 10:40 | irule has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:41 | <bip> does latest knoppix still work from cd ?

| 10:41 | or it only boots from dvd now ?
| |
| 10:42 | <irule> bip I think there is a CD version with less bells and whistles
| |
| 10:42 | <bip> ok
| |
| 10:42 | great :)
| |
| 10:43 | i dont need those ;-)
| |
| 10:43 | <envite> you can also try miniknoppix
| |
| 10:44 | it fits in 8cm CD
| |
| 10:50 | <bip> a further question
| |
| 10:50 | but if i do starts -query server ip il will use the x server from the ltsp machine
| |
| 10:51 | but how do I get the tstp full pacakge ? like ruunin frograms from the serevr and saving data tehre
| |
| 10:51 | i m not sure knoppinx running on a old laptop is very exciting

| |

| 11:17 | <Gadi> MrChicken: what desktop are you using?
| |
| 11:17 | if you use gnome, open a terminal and type: gstreamer-properties, change the audio sink to esd, and test
| |
| 11:20 | bgomes has quit IRC | |
| 11:20 | <MrChicken> sbalneav .. yeah
| |
| 11:20 | discovered a small error
| |
| 11:20 | and just fixed it
| |
| 11:21 | but I still get the same problem
| |
| 11:22 | I dont get any more the "couldnt open connection" error
| |
| 11:22 | however I still cant get anything
| |
| 11:22 | and I am using gnome and its already with esd
| |
| 11:23 | <sbalneav> How are you managing to come up with 9200 as a port, when esd communicates on 16001?
| |
| 11:23 | 9200's the printer port
| |
| 11:23 | <MrChicken> I do have a printer configured...
| |
| 11:23 | <Gadi> actually, 9100 is printer - 9200 is ltspinfo
| |
| 11:23 | iirc
| |
| 11:24 | <sbalneav> Hmm
| |
| 11:24 | I can never remember. It's not ESD anyways :)
| |
| 11:24 | hey gadi!
| |
| 11:25 | <Gadi> hey, sbalneav
| |
| 11:25 | <sbalneav> What's shakin?
| |
| 11:25 | <MrChicken> :(
| |
| 11:25 | <Gadi> I hear u've started getting on the speaker circuit
| |
| 11:25 | <MrChicken> Still notworking
| |
| 11:25 | <Gadi> MrChicken: are you using gnome?
| |
| 11:25 | <sbalneav> Phht. Like anyone's interested in what I have to say.
| |
| 11:25 | <Gadi> i sure am
| |
| 11:25 | i always am :)
| |
| 11:25 | <sbalneav> Expect my OSCON talk to be sparsly populated :)
| |
| 11:26 | <Gadi> thats only because nobody can spell oscon
| |

| |
| 11:26 | no reflection on u
| |
| 11:26 | hey, sbalneav, do you use vmware to test ltsp?
| |
| 11:27 | im trying to figure out how to get my LTSP VM connected to my host's eth0
| |
| 11:28 | i have done this before but so infrequently i forget
| |
| 11:30 | <cliebow_> a
| |
| 11:30 | <MrChicken> Gadi yes
| |
| 11:30 | Im using gnome
| |
| 11:30 | J45p3r__ has quit IRC | |
| 11:30 | <Gadi> MrChicken: open a terminal and type: gstreamer-properties, change the audio sink to esd, and test
| |
| 11:30 | <sbalneav> No, I don't use vmware
| |
| 11:33 | <bip> gadi
| |
| 11:33 | i use vmware
| |
| 11:33 | r u using a virtual client or server ?
| |
| 11:33 | or both ?
| |
| 11:33 | <Gadi> bip: server console
| |
| 11:33 | running a pxe vm
| |
| 11:33 | <bip> ok
| |
| 11:33 | <Gadi> want to connect it to eth0 on my lappy
| |
| 11:33 | <bip> ok ok
| |
| 11:34 | i do this costantly
| |
| 11:34 | u have a vmware ltsp server
| |
| 11:34 | plamengr has quit IRC | |
| 11:34 | <Gadi> i have a real ltsp server
| |
| 11:34 | on the host
| |
| 11:34 | <bip> ok
| |
| 11:34 | <Gadi> i have a vm client
| |
| 11:34 | <bip> and u want a ltso client to boot from it ok ?
| |
| 11:34 | ok
| |
| 11:34 | <MrChicken> Gadi... done, I get an error contructing pipeline
| |
| 11:34 | <bip> i have a diffrent experience
| |
| 11:35 | i have a virtual server and i boot both virtual and phycal terms from it
| |
| 11:35 | but maybe i can still help Gadi
| |
| 11:35 | sometimes i have dhcp fights
| |
| 11:35 | <Gadi> bip: I would be much appreciative :)
| |
| 11:35 | <bip> i need to turn off a dhcp server
| |
| 11:36 | i have 2 dhcp serverrs
| |
| 11:36 | one in my gateway and one in my virtual ltsp server
| |
| 11:36 | sometimes the latop doesnt boot unless i stop the dhcp in the gw Gadi
| |
| 11:37 | and i configured em to use diffrent ranges
| |
| 11:37 | <Gadi> well, its not getting any response at all
| |
| 11:37 | <bip> mm no response
| |
| 11:37 | <Gadi> so I think I have the ethernet connection wrong
| |
| 11:37 | <bip> ok
| |
| 11:37 | yeah
| |
| 11:37 | use bridged
| |
| 11:37 | <Gadi> I have it on host-only
| |
| 11:37 | ok
| |
| 11:37 | <bip> nooooooooooo
| |
| 11:37 | if need to use a real machine
| |
| 11:37 | use bridged
| |
| 11:37 | bridged is your answer Gadi
| |
| 11:38 | <Gadi> how does it know bridged = eth0 and not my wifi ?
| |
| 11:38 | <bip> well
| |
| 11:38 | it bridges to eth0 by default
| |
| 11:38 | if u wanna bridge it to wi-fi
| |
| 11:38 | <Gadi> nah
| |
| 11:38 | I want eth0
| |
| 11:38 | <bip> u must tell it explicitly
| |
| 11:39 | <Gadi> where are those settings?
| |
| 11:39 | <bip> well
| |
| 11:39 | in the they r set by the vmnware-config.pl
| |
| 11:39 | usually if i i m not happy
| |
| 11:39 | i just rerun that script Gadi
| |
| 11:39 | <MrChicken> Gadi .. I'm getting a pipeline error
| |
| 11:39 | <Gadi> ah
| |
| 11:39 | MrChicken: sorry, forgot
| |
| 11:40 | um, MrChicken, do you have screen_02 = shell?
| |
| 11:40 | bip: brided still isnt working ... :(
| |
| 11:40 | <bip> mmm
| |
| 11:41 | ok
| |
| 11:41 | <Gadi> maybe I'll check for settings somewhere
| |
| 11:41 | <bip> i have a suspect wait
| |
| 11:41 | sometimes dont ask me why
| |
| 11:41 | vmware gets confused if u just edit the card tye
| |
| 11:41 | u can play with vm config files and a trexty editor
| |
| 11:41 | or if u feel lazy
| |
| 11:42 | i do this gadi:
| |
| 11:42 | i remove the non working card from the virtual box
| |
| 11:42 | and create a new one
| |
| 11:42 | <Gadi> hmm
| |
| 11:42 | i guess its worth a try
| |
| 11:42 | <bip> for some sick reason converting host only vards into bridged ones always gives troubles Gadi
| |
| 11:42 | instead u remove the host only one
| |
| 11:43 | then build a nbew one that is bridged to start with
| |
| 11:43 | i had this experience many times Gadi
| |
| 11:43 | <MrChicken> gadi I have screen_01=shell
| |
| 11:43 | <bip> i even have some idea why it happen but i have forgot it now Gadi ;-)
| |
| 11:43 | <MrChicken> ok I'm in the shell now =)
| |
| 11:44 | <Gadi> MrChicken: can you set it up like this: screen_01 = startx, screen_02 = shell
| |
| 11:44 | that way you can switch back and forth
| |
| 11:45 | bip: still no go :(
| |
| 11:45 | <bip> mmm
| |
| 11:45 | what happens at the client exactly Gadi ?
| |
| 11:45 | <Gadi> the usual DHCP.......\
| |
| 11:46 | <bip> i had to sweat and swear quite a bit
| |
| 11:46 | ok
| |
| 11:46 | does it get a ip ?
| |
| 11:46 | <Gadi> nope
| |
| 11:46 | <bip> ok
| |
| 11:46 | <Gadi> keeps timing out
| |
| 11:46 | <bip> mmm
| |
| 11:46 | <Gadi> seems my bridge has fallen down
| |
| 11:46 | <MrChicken> Ok
| |
| 11:46 | <bip> can i ask u what version oif vmware r u running to do this Gadi ?
| |
| 11:47 | <MrChicken> Done
| |
| 11:47 | <Gadi> much like London Bridge
| |
| 11:47 | latest vmware 1.0.2
| |
| 11:47 | i believe
| |
| 11:47 | (just d/l'd new one)
| |
| 11:47 | MrChicken: ok on screen 2, at the shell, make sure esd is running: ps|grep esd
| |
| 11:48 | <MrChicken> esd -nobeeps -tcp -port 16001 -as 1
| |
| 11:48 | <Gadi> so far so good

| |
| 11:50 | <MrChicken> ok done...
| |
| 11:50 | same pipeline error
| |
| 11:52 | Gadi?
| |
| 11:53 | <Gadi> MrChicken: open a terminal window through X and do: echo ESPEAKER
| |
| 11:53 | oops
| |
| 11:53 | echo $ESPEAKER
| |
| 11:53 | <MrChicken> done, nothing returns
| |
| 11:53 | <Gadi> do: echo $DISPLAY
| |
| 11:54 | <MrChicken> ws190.ltsp:0.0

| |
| 11:56 | <MrChicken> it says nothing
| |
| 11:56 | <Gadi> do you hear a sound?
| |
| 11:57 | <MrChicken> nopw
| |
| 11:57 | <Gadi> do you have headphones or speakers?
| |
| 11:57 | nf1 has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:57 | <MrChicken> speaker
| |
| 11:57 | <Gadi> can you adjust the volume?
| |
| 11:57 | <MrChicken> sure
| |
| 11:57 | just maxed it
| |
| 11:57 | <Gadi> esdplay again
| |
| 11:58 | <MrChicken> nothing
| |
| 11:58 | <envite> easier
| |
| 11:58 | esddsp cat /vmlinuz > /dev/dsp
| |
| 11:58 | <Gadi> yuck
| |
| 11:59 | <envite> do that first in server and then in client
| |
| 11:59 | FernandoMM has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:59 | <envite> if that does not work, kill esd and restart with option -public
| |
| 12:00 | <MrChicken> weird
| |
| 12:00 | when running X I cant see esd
| |
| 12:01 | <Gadi> thats not weird
| |
| 12:01 | thats correct
| |
| 12:01 | esd runs on the client
| |
| 12:01 | not the server
| |
| 12:01 | <MrChicken> so I should kill esd on the client ??
| |
| 12:02 | <Gadi> do this:
| |
| 12:02 | edit: /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.sound
| |
| 12:02 | find the line that calls /bin/esd ....
| |
| 12:02 | and add -public to the end (before the amphersand)
| |
| 12:03 | then, reboot the terminal
| |
| 12:06 | <MrChicken> ok
| |
| 12:06 | the ESD test works
| |
| 12:06 | but now I try to play a file with xmms and I get a hw errpr
| |
| 12:08 | Ok
| |
| 12:08 | Works perfect
| |
| 12:08 | now I have one more Q
| |
| 12:08 | :$
| |
| 12:09 | In some clients
| |
| 12:09 | <Gadi> bip: turns out I needed to plug eth0 into a switch to make it work :P
| |
| 12:09 | thanks to jammcq for the advice
| |
| 12:09 | silly
| |
| 12:09 | <bip> well
| |
| 12:09 | <MrChicken> i get a warning that I need cmmpci lib or something like that
| |
| 12:09 | IRCzito has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:09 | <MrChicken> to get the sound loaded
| |
| 12:10 | <IRCzito> j #async
| |
| 12:11 | <Gadi> MrChicken: a warning where? from an application?
| |
| 12:11 | <MrChicken> no, when ltsp boots
| |
| 12:12 | on a client with CMI8738
| |
| 12:13 | <Gadi> sounds like you already have sound, tho
| |
| 12:13 | <MrChicken> Gadi... I'm working on another client =)
| |
| 12:14 | <Gadi> perhaps you have the wrong sound module?
| |
| 12:14 | <MrChicken> its on auto
| |
| 12:16 | <Gadi> dunno - if you have a whole lot of varied cards, at some point you may want to grab my esd-alsa pkg off the wiki, so you can use the alsa sound modules - you'll prolly be able to support more cards that way
| |
| 12:16 | but, you can stick with this for now, if you've got em mostly all going

| 13:03 | <MrChicken> Ok.. just installed the esd-alsa
| |
| 13:03 | now what?
| |
| 13:04 | should I still use esd or should I now use alsa?
| |
| 13:04 | <King`Nothing> hello, i want to ask you something! :) How to make boot splash screen at ltsp 5 server to show to every PC in network? i think to use Splashy for that, but I don't know how
| |
| 13:07 | <Gadi> MrChicken: reboot the thin client
| |
| 13:08 | and see if sound still works
| |
| 13:08 | by using this package, you should be able to specify alsa modules ( SMODULE_01 = "snd-XXXXX" ) as needed
| |
| 13:08 | it will still try to autodetect the correct one
| |
| 13:10 | <MrChicken> Gadi .. one more Q... I cant seem to record anything.... at least Krec tries to use arts
| |
| 13:10 | and wont lemme change it to esd
| |
| 13:10 | <Gadi> MrChicken: esd does not support recording
| |
| 13:10 | so, you can forget about that on thin clients for now
| |
| 13:10 | gepatino has joined #ltsp | |

| 13:15 | <MrChicken> Gadi... so that means I cant get a softphone running on ltsp?
| |
| 13:16 | <Gadi> not trivially - softphones are best run as local apps
| |
| 13:17 | <MrChicken> Gadi... "not trivially" means "not unless you rewrite the whole core code of ltsp"?
| |
| 13:19 | <Gadi> well, the challenge to local apps boils down to: a. installing apps into the ltsp chroot, b. launching them from the server, and c. optionally running them on the client as the same user who is requesting it
| |
| 13:19 | a. is nontrivial in LTSP 4.2 - but much easier in 5.0
| |
| 13:19 | b. requires special setup in either case
| |
| 13:20 | <MrChicken> Gadi ... now the question is... do you have time to help me through it?
| |
| 13:20 | <Gadi> c. has NIS mechanisms in 4.2 and no mechanisms (afaik) in 5.0 (so they would need installing)
| |
| 13:20 | no
| |
| 13:20 | it is nontrivial
| |
| 13:20 | but, there are people who have done it
| |
| 13:20 | and you may be able to find case studies on the subject
| |
| 13:20 | <MrChicken> so I will ask in the mailing list =)
| |
| 13:21 | <Gadi> thats a better bet
| |
| 13:22 | <MrChicken> http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8165
| |
| 13:22 | thats an interesting article =)
| |
| 13:24 | <cliebow_> Gadi:ldap authentication in ltsp5 should be no more then chroot installing libnssldap and libpamldap tweaking common* in pam.d and nsswitch.conf?
| |
| 13:26 | <Gadi> cliebow: prolly - but dont forget mounting /home
| |
| 13:26 | and then, what about security?
| |
| 13:26 | do you launch via ssh and have private ssh keys for each user on NFS?
| |
| 13:26 | not a great idea
| |
| 13:27 | it requires a bit of thought to do it well
| |
| 13:27 | <ogra> Gadi, just mount /home via sshfs ;)
| |
| 13:27 | sshd is running anyway on the server
| |
| 13:28 | <Gadi> there ya go
| |
| 13:28 | <cliebow_> Gadi:oh yeah!
| |
| 13:28 | Gadi:you use dbi module tocontact mysql at all?
| |
| 13:28 | <ogra> there are as well howtos for tunneling ldap through ssh :)
| |
| 13:29 | <cliebow_> Gadi:you referring to ldapsecurity itself or the network traffic involved with a mounted homedir?
| |
| 13:30 | <Gadi> i was referring to keeping private ssh keys on an open NFS server
| |
| 13:31 | which would be one insecure way to allow users to remotely execute programs on the thin client from the server
| |
| 13:31 | <cliebow_> yes i see
| |
| 13:33 | used dbi for sql at all?
| |
| 13:35 | <Gadi> not recently
| |
| 13:40 | <cliebow_> guess i have it figured out far enough to screw something up anyway

| |

| |
| 14:09 | <Gadi> sbalneav: thx. I am very tempted to just use ltspfs client side - it is such a nice automounter :)
| |
| 14:15 | <freyley> how do you configure the ldm screen?

| |
| 14:23 | <King`Nothing> hello, i want to ask you something! :) How to make boot splash screen at ltsp 5 server to show to every PC in network? i think to use Splashy for that, but I don't know how
| |
| 14:23 | <sbalneav> King`Nothing: ltsp5 uses usplash, so you could design your artwork for that.
| |
| 14:24 | Then use the mkinitrd stuff to install it into the kernel image.
| |
| 14:24 | <freyley> sbalneav: I figured out how to change the icons and the colors, but I was hoping to add a user chooser and I haven't figured out where ltsp // in the bottom right corner is set.
| |
| 14:25 | <King`Nothing> ok, thanks ssbalneav, anything special and unusual in installing it into kernel image ?
| |
| 14:25 | <sbalneav> freyley: Well, the source package is available, and it's in python, so should be easy to code.
| |
| 14:26 | <freyley> sbalneav: okay. thanks. =)
| |
| 14:26 | <sbalneav> King`Nothing: Nope, just use either a standard Ubuntu or Debian kernel, and you should be fine.
| |
| 14:28 | <King`Nothing> thank you again sbalneav :) if I had any obstacle, can I ask you again?
| |
| 14:28 | <sbalneav> Sure, I'll help with what I can.

| 15:19 | <plamengr> Hi, all :) We have configured a Local Printer in LTSP-4.2 (Debian sid on the server) by CUPS
| |
| 15:20 | The Device - HP JetDirect with socket://hostname:9100/
| |
| 15:20 | and in lts.conf PRINTER_0_TYPE = P
| |
| 15:20 | PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/lp0
| |
| 15:20 | J45p3r has joined #ltsp | |

| |

| 16:18 | <artista_frustrad> I last week I installed ltsp-server (etch)
| |
| 16:18 | and was working perfectly.. the I did a dist-upgrade
| |
| 16:18 | now the clientes ares trying to fetch an older version of the kernel (/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2)
| |
| 16:18 | I've checked dhcpd.conf and everything seems ok.. (filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";)
| |
| 16:19 | does anyone have any idea of what may be wrong ?
| |
| 16:22 | <plamengr> artista_frustrad: try running: ltsp-update-kernels on the server
| |
| 16:22 | HobNobblin has left #ltsp | |
| 16:24 | <artista_frustrad> plamengr, can you explain why the diferent paths ( /lts and /ltsp )???
| |
| 16:25 | plamengr, nothing changed
| |
| 16:26 | <plamengr> the full path is: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/
| |
| 16:27 | <artista_frustrad> yes
| |
| 16:27 | <plamengr> check whether the kernels in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/ are updated
| |
| 16:29 | <artista_frustrad> they are.. but the clientes are requesting an older version .. even though everything seems to be ok on dhcpd.conf
| |
| 16:30 | <plamengr> have you restarted dhcp-server?
| |
| 16:30 | <artista_frustrad> plamengr, about 2 dozen times
| |
| 16:31 | <plamengr> does nbi.img point to the new kernel?
| |
| 16:32 | maybe write directly the new kernel: nbi.img-2.6.18-4-486
| |
| 16:32 | <artista_frustrad> what I cannot understand is why my clientes are trying to fetch a 2.6.16-1 kernel when everything on my server is 2.6.18-4 ..
| |
| 16:33 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
| 16:33 | <plamengr> check your /etc/default/tftpd-hpa and /etc/inetd.conf
| |
| 16:34 | there should be the relative path to the kernels
| |
| 16:34 | <artista_frustrad> and why the clientes are looking for it on /lts when they should be cheking on /ltsp
| |
| 16:34 | <plamengr> maybe it's different from /var/lib/tftpboot
| |
| 16:35 | specify the same relative path, and should be ok
| |
| 16:35 | <cliebow> waIT: you are looking at /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
| |
| 16:35 | ?
| |
| 16:35 | plamengr has quit IRC | |
| 16:35 | <artista_frustrad> /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
| |
| 16:36 | <cliebow> Crikey!
| |
| 16:36 | but..hmm this is k12ltsp?
| |
| 16:36 | no..
| |
| 16:37 | just cvheck what passes for /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server and see which file it reads for its config..
| |
| 16:37 | <artista_frustrad> but they are both pointing to the same place
| |
| 16:38 | so it should not matter
| |
| 16:38 | King`Nothing has quit IRC | |
| 16:39 | <cliebow> if that is true..then true...after install of ltsp-server-standalone in ubuntu dhcp is defined in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf..if pointing to same place..then that is not the issue
| |
| 16:42 | <artista_frustrad> well.. but why is my clientes requestiong /lts/vmlinuz-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2 instead of /ltsp/i386/nbi.img ??
| |
| 16:43 | <cliebow> thereis not another dhcp server running?i know..gbut had to ask
| |
| 16:44 | maybe then post your dhcpd.conf with pastebot...i dont know
| |
| 16:46 | jammcq has quit IRC | |
| 16:47 | <ltsppbot> "artista_frustrado" pasted "dhcpd.conf and syslog msgs of tftpd" (25 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/64
| |
| 16:49 | <bip> does anybody know if a standard debian installer cd can be used to do pivot_root ?
| |
| 16:51 | <cliebow> looks just fine..and you checked the -s parameter in inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/tftp to be sure it isd still /var/lib/tftpboot..and /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/nbi.img exists i know..
| |
| 16:53 | <artista_frustrad> OPTIONS="-l -v -s /var/lib/tftpboot"
| |
| 16:54 | <Gadi> artista_frustrad: is there another LTSP box running on that subnet?
| |
| 16:54 | PXE is a broadcast request ;)
| |
| 16:54 | <artista_frustrad> Gadi, nope.. that is the weard part
| |
| 16:55 | <Gadi> how about: grep -R vmlinuz-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2 /etc
| |
| 16:55 | <cliebow> so you can see the requaests in /var/log/messages or syslog on THat server
| |
| 16:56 | Gadi:why should not /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf be the coordinating configfile?o ris it simlimnked in debia?
| |
| 16:56 | <Gadi> what do I know?
| |
| 16:56 | I ask grep
| |
| 16:56 | <cliebow> you are the MAN!
| |
| 16:56 | <Gadi> much easier than thinking
| |
| 16:57 | if grep cant find it - then I suspect a forgotten LTSP server somewhere
| |
| 16:57 | <cliebow> can you not see in dhcp3-server that it is reading the correct configfile?
| |
| 16:57 | <Gadi> :)
| |
| 16:57 | I could
| |
| 16:57 | or I could ask grep
| |
| 16:57 | grep's like a bloodhound
| |
| 16:57 | man's best friend
| |
| 16:58 | <cliebow> but seems the only way to know which configfile is being read
| |
| 17:00 | <Gadi> what was it good ole akum used to say? the simplest answer is usually the most correct
| |
| 17:00 | * artista_frustrad shall kill the treinee.. | |
| 17:00 | <cliebow> dwight akum? the country singer?
| |
| 17:00 | <artista_frustrad> found another box
| |
| 17:00 | <Gadi> :)
| |
| 17:00 | QED, as they say in Latin
| |
| 17:01 | <Lumiere> hehe
| |
| 17:01 | <artista_frustrad> now dhcp is not leasing
| |
| 17:01 | <Lumiere> my professor like dun instead of QED
| |
| 17:01 | <cliebow> give it a kick in the shins
| |
| 17:01 | * Gadi took a lot of mathematical analysis | |
| 17:01 | <Gadi> ;)
| |
| 17:01 | <cliebow> i knew a mathematical ALice once
| |
| 17:02 | <Gadi> in the limit as aggravation goes to infinity
| |
| 17:02 | Alice? Alice? Who the fsck is Alice?
| |
| 17:02 | LOL
| |
| 17:02 | <Lumiere> lol?
| |
| 17:04 | <Gadi> ah, nothing. hey, this vmware stuff can be fun: I have a PXE-booting vm booting from my feisty LTSP5 laptop, connecting to my desktop PC running edgy over NAT via my 802.11b wireless card and pushing back a desktop
| |
| 17:05 | <cliebow> my head hurts
| |
| 17:05 | <Gadi> heh, me too
| |
| 17:05 | <cliebow> life just doesnt get any better than this 8~)
| |
| 17:05 | <Gadi> well, there's always mathematical alice ;)
| |
| 17:05 | grrr....
| |
| 17:05 | <cliebow> Heh
| |
| 17:07 | i think they have Alice under heavy sedatiion now...shcok treatments..that sort of thing
| |
| 17:09 | * artista_frustrad thinks: must kill myself . reason: over stupidity .. | |
| 17:10 | <cliebow> we have all been there..some more than once
| |
| 17:10 | i spent two days tweaking inittab.omly to find i was using upstart
| |
| 17:11 | <Gadi> blame the damn developers - they keep changing things !!!
| |
| 17:11 | why cant they stop progressing!
| |
| 17:11 | * Gadi returns to paving paradise.... | |
| 17:11 | <cliebow> 8~)
| |
| 17:14 | <artista_frustrad> well.. since I'm on my stupid day.. where do I put my lts.conf on ltsp 5 ??
| |
| 17:14 | <Gadi> same place as ltsp 4.2, stupid
| |
| 17:14 | ;)
| |
| 17:14 | sorry - couldnt resist
| |
| 17:17 | <cliebow> Gadi:speaking of stupid..i cant quite figger out hot to pull the source code for thin-client-manager from launchpad?can you give me syntax..i have bzr co http://launchpad.net/ durnedifinknow
