IRC chat logs for #ltsp on irc.libera.chat (webchat)


Channel log from 28 March 2007   (all times are UTC)

<vagrantc>
before LDM can be localized, it needs to be internationalized...
00:03
i.e. it has no support for translations
00:03
<japerry>
hmm got ESD to work, but man ALSA support is sketchy at best
00:04
the documentation has you download and install the esd-alsa patch
00:04
<sbalneav>
Yep, sound in terminals is a challenge.
00:04
<japerry>
but it does nothing
00:04
and the addendums are already in rc.sound... but alsa is not found :-(
00:05
<sbalneav>
Too many programs write to /dev/dsp, or use one of the local libs, like alsa, or OSS, rather than use a network aware sound stack, like gstreamer.
00:05
<japerry>
right, gstreaming seems to work just fine
00:05
but I cannot find any more troubleshooting/docs on alsa
00:05
specifically where to get alsa on the server to route through esd
00:06
<sbalneav>
LTSP 5 is using a mixture of Pulseaudio, and a "fake" alsa sound card to over come this. But really, what needs to happen is to educate projects about the need to use a proper sound stack.
00:06
<japerry>
hmm I'd be tempted to try LTSP5 but haven't seen much documentation on it and SUSE Enterprise Linux Desktop 10
00:08
<vagrantc>
!tarball
00:08
<ltspbot>
vagrantc: "tarball" is http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Ltsp5TarballInstructions
00:09
<vagrantc>
japerry: that's because SUSE hasn't been real quick on adopting LTSP5 ... you basically have to grab an ubuntu or debian tarball
00:11
<sbalneav>
Really, ltsp5 on SUSE should be built using SUSE bits.
00:11
<japerry>
yah, and I'm in need of a production LTSP server
00:11
hopefully with sound that works through flash
00:11
<sbalneav>
So, if you're in with the SUSE developers, have them drop us a line, we'd love to get 'em involved.
00:11
<japerry>
heh sadly not, we
00:12
we're a company implimenting SuSE because it works well with the existing novell arch
00:12
but hmm I'll see what I can do with the LTSP 5 tarbar for suse..
00:14
<sbalneav>
Well, time for bed for me.
00:14
Night all
00:14

howdy. Looking to run LTSP on ubuntu (or an ubuntu-variant). Is this howto still the way to go? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto (or, would it be better to go the kubuntu route?)
06:49jammcq has quit IRC
06:50nf1 has joined #ltsp
07:04
<iMav>
yikes! Doesn't get any easier than this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
07:13
<ogra>
iMav, it will get easier, be sure :)
07:13
one day we'll ave this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/LTSPManager/
07:15
<iMav>
ogra: Looks pretty useful.
07:17
<ogra>
it will be ... one day it does more than look pretty :)
07:18
<iMav>
Do you need to have a separate LTSP server for each thin client architecture you need to support? This page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup seems pretty straight forward...but I'm not sure what needs to be done to have several boot environments available (and how to get the clients to select their proper one automatically).
07:18
<ogra>
thats a matter of setting up the dhcp config right
07:19
you can server all kind of arches you like but will need decent dhcp knowledger to make up all the rules to match the right arches... wiki.ltsp.org has many hints
07:20
<iMav>
ok, I gotcha there.
07:21
It would be easy enough to just assign static leases based on MAC and provide the relavent parameters for that arch's environment.
07:21
<ogra>
right, something like that ...
07:21
but you get a huge dhcpd.conf in big environments :)
07:22
hard to maintain etc
07:24
<iMav>
yeah, this won't be that big of an environment...but I see your point. But, on the server side should be as easy as bulding the separate client environments in their own directories ("/opt/ltsp-sparc", "/opt/ltsp-ppc", etc). Just mount those to "/opt/ltsp" on the client when using "ltsp-build-client" and that should do the trick, eh?
07:27qwerty has joined #ltsp
07:27
<iMav>
on a somewhat related note...as far as new hardware. Any recommendations on small footprint, fanless setups for the thin clients? (I assume a C3, fanless, mini-ITX board would work well...more just wondering if you know of any good deals on new hardware that seems to be well suited as a thin client)
07:28
<qwerty>
hi ! can anyone tell my why i cant override the values of [Default] in lts.conf ?
07:29
for example: i want to override XkbLayout clientspecific
07:30
<iMav>
are you not able to edit the file? Or are your changes ignored?
07:33
<qwerty>
iam able to change but it has no effect

g'morning
07:45
<ogra>
iMav, i like to use and recommend the stuff from disklessworkstations.com if it come to HW usually
07:45
<jammcq>
me too :)
07:45
<iMav>
ahhh. I was looking at something like this: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/store/Mini_ITX_Systems/Diskless_Mini_ITX_System (I'll check out disklessworkstations.com as well)
07:47
<jammcq>
ogra: i'm doing some much more accurate timing tests of some workstations this morning
07:47
and i'm wondering how hard it would be to build a custom kernel for ubuntu/ltsp-5
07:48
<iMav>
Looks like some good stuff at disklessworkstations.com . Thanks for the tip.
07:48
<ogra>
jammcq, not to hard if you follow the howto on the wiki
07:49
<jammcq>
ogra: is it an ltsp specific thing? or just general kernel building?
07:49
<ogra>
you take the kernel package source, tell it to only buid for one arch, copy the config, make your changes and let it build a .deb
07:49
thats it
07:49
<jammcq>
hmm
07:50
is the config a .config file?
07:50
<qwerty>
[Default]
07:50
XkbLayout = us
07:50
[ws101]
07:50
XkbLayout = de
07:50
whats wrong here ? is this kind of configuration not allowed ?
07:50
<ogra>
your capitalization is wrong
07:51
<qwerty>
where ?
07:51
<ogra>
jammcq, its in /boot on every ubuntu system (even in the client chroot)
07:52
<jammcq>
yeah, just wanted to make sure you meant the 'kernel config file'
07:52
and not some special ubuntu thing
07:52
<ogra>
i think the kernel even has a command "make oldconfig" or something
07:52
its ages ago that i built my last kernel, i like to leave that to the kerne team ;)
07:53
but the kernel isnt your problem ... if i switch ff splash and quiet i see the kerel being loaded extremly fast .... the initscripts are the slow factor
07:54
<jammcq>
capitalization doesn't matter for the keywords in lts.conf
07:54
<ogra>
sure it does
07:54
at least in ltsp5
07:54
<jammcq>
ogra: the kernel is still a problem
07:54
ogra: you using getltscfg ?
07:54
<qwerty>
sry i forgot to say that iam using ltsp 4.2
07:54
<jammcq>
getltscfg has this:
07:54
<qwerty>
prior versions to 5.2 have the same bevaior
07:55
<ogra>
jammcq, indeed, but the initscripts match on certain values ....
07:55
<jammcq>
if(strcasecmp(curtuple->keyword,pOptionName) == 0){
07:55
if(strcasecmp(curtuple->value,"NONE") != 0){
07:55
printf("%s\n", curtuple->value);
07:55
}
07:55
fFound = TRUE;
07:55
}
07:55
<ogra>
thats why we have so much documentation fr lts.conf
07:55
<jammcq>
notice 'strcasecmp()
07:55
<ogra>
right, but if you want that in a script it will quickly bloat
07:56
<jammcq>
ogra: ltsp-5 is using a script, instead of the C program ?
07:56
<ogra>
ltsp client *is* and initscript ... reading the variables we get from lts.conf
07:56
(apart from being a collection of packages thats what makes ltsp-client)
07:57
<qwerty>
i can type it like i want - its the same
07:57
<jammcq>
heh, and I was wondering why things were slow....... I guess now I know
07:57
<qwerty>
i read years ago lts.conf is buggy with this
07:57
<jammcq>
qwerty: what you have should work fine, as long as your client knows its own hostname
07:57
<ogra>
getltscfg might not care ...
07:58
if [ -n "$XKBLAYOUT" ]; then
07:58
preseed $xserver_package/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout "$XKBLAYOUT"
07:58
fi
07:58
but the initscript surely does
07:58
preseed was completely rewritten for feisty and should be speedy for the X config generation now
07:58
<jammcq>
qwerty: ogra getltscfg outputs the keyword in upper case
07:59
<qwerty>
jammcq: youre right, in console "hostname" return (none)
07:59
<ogra>
getltscfg sets a env variable from it, at least for me
07:59
thats what we read
07:59
<jammcq>
so, if you have xkblayout = en, when you call getltscfg, it spits out: XKBLAYOUT=en
07:59
<ogra>
this is still mdz's oriignal code
07:59
no
07:59
xkblayout = en gives xkblayout = en afaik
07:59
got no client around to test that
08:00
<jammcq>
at a cmdline on the client
08:02
ogra: ok, back to my speed tests. During the boot, the kernel outputs lots of messages that start with a timestamp.
08:02
<qwerty>
ok thank you ill test
08:02
<jammcq>
on the e2300, the last of those messages I see says something like:
08:02
<ogra>
jammcq, yes
08:02
oh, wait
08:02
<qwerty>
"w" return a TTY @ ws101:0
08:02
<ogra>
heh
08:02
<jammcq>
[ 80.9660 ] PC Speaker as /dev/input/......
08:03
<ogra>
your hwclock is extremly off
08:03
thats 01.01.1970 ....
08:03
80 minutes past 00:00
08:03
<jammcq>
no, that's 80 seconds
08:03
<ogra>
i've see this before
08:03
err, indeed
08:03
<jammcq>
and according to my stopwatch, it's pretty close to actual time
08:03
<ogra>
no
08:04
the problme is that after the kernel is loaded all timestamps are broken everywhere (the system lives in the future)
08:04* Gadi puts money down on Schnoop - "King of Thin Clients" -- GOOOO SCHNOOOOOP!
08:04
<jammcq>
on the T-1220, I see the same PC Speaker message at 23. something
08:04
<ogra>
i had the same prob on a compaq evo T20 client once , it took hours to boot
08:05
<jammcq>
ogra: ok, what was the fix on the T20 ?
08:05
<ogra>
especially udev will be unhappy
08:05
<jammcq>
yeah, udev seems to be taking forever
08:05
<ogra>
i dont remeber anmore, i'll need to dig deep through the changlog, that was pre dapper
08:05
<Gadi>
could you not go into the BIOS and change the time?
08:06
<ogra>
what you also can try for speedup is to give fixed module list to initramfs
08:06
it will cut it down extremly
08:06
yes, fixing the time should suffice
08:06
<jammcq>
maybe, but that's not enough
08:06* jammcq doesn't understand how going into the bios would fix anything
08:06
<Gadi>
perhaps an hwclock --systohc call in initramfs would be good as well
08:07
<ogra>
setting the hardware clock would
08:07
<jammcq>
setting it to WHAT ?
08:07
<ogra>
a recent time
08:07
<Gadi>
greater than or equal the time on the server
08:07
<jammcq>

hmm, weird things happening on my laptop today. firefox doesn't wanna start
08:11

its not even in edgy anymore
08:11
<jammcq>
not even in universe/multiverse ?
08:11
<ogra>
people wanting 4.2 should get your package
08:12
nope
08:12
<jammcq>
ok, that's fine
08:12
<qwerty>
ummm, everything looks ok .... dhcp, etc/hosts ... is there another reason for my problem ?
08:12
<jammcq>
i'm just having trouble running firefox, to go get the damned thing
08:12
<ogra>
wget :)
08:12
<jammcq>
yeah, need the long url for that one
08:12
I'll get it
08:13
<ogra>
its a bit late for feisty, but if we need a special kernel flavour i can get one packaged i think
08:13
would probably be worth a spec for UDS
08:14
<jammcq>
even if we put one on the LTSP download page, it's better than saying don't use Ubuntu/LTSP
08:14
<ogra>
even though the ldm rewrite will keep me very busy and is the more important part for feisty+1
08:14tiagovaz has joined #ltsp

along with that ltsp-manager should finally get somewhere in feisty+1
08:18
<Gadi>
ldm rewrite ? special kernel? oy... a guy turns his back for a few mins
08:18
<ogra>
heh
08:19
well, ldm needs to be able to support svg ... all our themes switched to it ... and somehow i dont see a reason to carry the gtk depedencies only for a single input field ...
08:19
it will be rewritten without gtk and with cairo/svg support
08:19
<Gadi>
ah
08:20
<ogra>
the gtk deps are th emost slowing down part
08:20
<Gadi>
so ur rewriting the greeter really
08:20
<ogra>
since the interpreted needs to load haf the world
08:20
<Gadi>
not the python script ldm
08:20
<ogra>
yeah, thats the pln
08:20
*plan
08:20
<Gadi>
cool - because im working on some mods of ldm
08:20
<ogra>
ldm itself is fine and speeds
08:20
<Gadi>
to add a few features
08:20
<ogra>
speedy
08:21
i'm also working on pam integration
08:21
i.e. getting messages from the server ... preparing for smartcard support etc
08:21
<Gadi>
isnt pam independent of you since ssh will use pam?
08:22
<ogra>
right
08:22
<Gadi>
so its already integrated ;)
08:22
you work quickly
08:22
:)
08:22
<ogra>
so we'll have something like a hdden pre-login procedure that returns the message to the gui
08:23
else there is no way to get the pam messages from the server to the gui
08:23
at least not through ssh
08:24* jammcq coughs ...... Network Authentication .... cough cough
08:24
<ogra>
has nothing to do with that :)
08:25
<jammcq>
does ldm have any provision for password expiration ?
08:25
<ogra>
nope
08:25
that would have to be ruled through pam
08:25
<jammcq>
right
08:25* jammcq coughs ...... Network Authentication .... cough cough
08:25
<ogra>
on the server side
08:25
which has nothing to do with ldm ;)
08:26
<jammcq>
right, but has everything to do with passwords

08:27* ogra culd plant palms here ... 15°C and working in the garden in the sun :)
08:27
<ogra>
did you like it ?
08:27
for feisty+1 we'll have meta taks in gnome-app-install ...
08:27
<sbalneav>
I was fooling around with kstars, and it was great. However, I'd suggest including installing kdehelp and the appropriate manuals for any of the kde programs.
08:27
<ogra>
*tasks
08:28
its is included ...
08:28
hrm ... but probably not installed since kubuntu didnt make it a dependency
08:28
<sbalneav>
Prolly.
08:28
<ogra>
i cant install it from the first CD .... all KDE stuff was dropped off there
08:29
if i put the kde help on the first CD i'll have to put on all kde langpacks as well
08:29ursatz has joined #ltsp
08:29
<ogra>
which will be around 100M i dont have
08:29
<sbalneav>
Can it go on the second cd?
08:29
<ogra>
(actually the kde stuff was the reason for the second CD)
08:29
<sbalneav>
That one's less cramped.
08:29
<ogra>
it wont get installed
08:29
there is no dependency from any of the kde packages to the help
08:30
<sbalneav>
That's ok, just so long as it's included on the menu that pops up.
08:30
<ogra>
gnome ships the help inside the app, kde only in the helpcenter
08:30
oh, you mean it doesnt show up in g-a-i ?
08:30
thats a bug then
08:31
<ursatz>
i got a problem with ltsp 4.2 and ubuntu....
08:32
any time i reboot the server the /etc/hosts is screwed up
08:32
and the resolv.conf is empty
08:32MoL0ToV has quit IRC
08:33
<ursatz>
so i got to rebuild the /etc/hosts
08:33
otherwise the clients doesnt get the IP
08:33
any1 can help?
08:37* jammcq has to reboot, to restart gdm, brb

<Gadi>
ursatz: sounds like you need to figure out whats wrong with the server first, but ltspadmin should be able to fix your hosts file somewhat
08:37
<sbalneav>
ursatz: is this the server's /etc/hosts? Or the /etc/hosts in the ltsp chroot? (/opt/ltsp/i386)
08:38
<ursatz>
the server's
08:39Arauto has joined #ltsp
08:39
<ursatz>
I believe the reason for the empty resov.conf was the resolvconf package
08:40
<sbalneav>
Hmmm, well, does the server obtain it's main ip address by something like dhcp?
08:40
perhaps that's over writing something.
08:40
<ursatz>
nope
08:40
<sbalneav>
But nothing should be touching the hosts file, afaik.
08:40
<ogra>
yes, thats why resolvconf isnt supported in ubuntu, it messes up stuff ;)
08:41
<ursatz>
that's the point
08:41
<ogra>
its in universe for a reason ;)
08:42
<ursatz>
can it be the graphical interface called network-admin that's screws up the hosts?
08:42
i mean....
08:43
when i had the resolvconf installed i had to set the DNS through the network-admin
08:43
cause the file /etc/resolv.conf could not be edited
08:44
and when i opened the network-admin interface the tab HOSTS was wrong
08:44
<sbalneav>
Which network admin is this? The one under the System -> Administration menu?
08:44
I'd remove the resolvconf package
08:45
<ogra>
simply dont use packages from universe for something as essential as networking :)
08:45
<ursatz>
sbalneav ---> yes that one
08:46
<sbalneav>
That one shouldn't touch anything, unless the resolvconf package is mucking something up.
08:46
<ogra>
network-admin is well tested under the conditions of a default ubuntu install (thas how we do our testing)
08:46
<sbalneav>
purge the resolvconf package.
08:46
<ursatz>
i did
08:46
<ogra>
so t will work if you remove the unsuported stuff ... check that you dont have other stuff there as well ...
08:47
i.e., ifplugd is a good candidate people like to use to mess up their systems ...
08:47
<ursatz>
ifplugd???
08:47
<sbalneav>
ogra: wasn't there a script around somewhere that would show people packages from Universe that they have on their box?
08:47
Didn't cbx33 have something like that?
08:47
<ogra>
sbalneav, synaptic should have a filter for that
08:48
<sbalneav>
To show you what's already installed?
08:48
<ogra>
apart from that on the commandline apt-cache madison <packagename>
08:48
yes, i think so ... didnt use synaptic for a wile but i think it has such a filter
08:48bricode has joined #ltsp

apart from that suported packages all have an ubuntu logo in the synaptic list
08:50
<ursatz>
in my school we have four laboratories with ubuntu and ltsp 4.2 ... Do you guys we should upgrade to ltsp 5?
08:51
Do you guys think we should upgrade to ltsp 5?
08:51
<ogra>
which ubuntu release ?
08:51
<sbalneav>
You're running Ubuntu 6.10?
08:51
<ursatz>
dapper
08:52
but we are considering upgrading to edgy
08:52
<ogra>
for dapper youre better off with 4.2 unless you can live without local device access
08:52
<sbalneav>
If you move to edgy, then yes.
08:52
<ogra>
edgy is feature complete
08:52
feisty is the hit :)
08:52
<sbalneav>
edgy + ltsp5 = rockin'
08:52
<ursatz>
cool
08:52
<ogra>
sbalneav, did you test the sound stuff, its awesome ...
08:52
even gcompris *just works*
08:53
no esddsp or anything anymore :)
08:53
<sbalneav>
It's on my list to do tonight. Last night I was bombing through some of the edu apps.
08:53
<ursatz>
is the upgrading process from 4.2. to 5 smooth?
08:53
<sbalneav>
You just rebuild the chroot with the ltsp-build-client command.
08:53
<ogra>
just wipe the chroot and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
08:53
thats all
08:54
<ursatz>
and what abount the students and teachers accounts?
08:54
<ogra>
they live on the server
08:54
not in the client chroot
08:54
<ursatz>
oh... right... sorry
08:55
<ogra>
and are handled by the ubuntu upgrade manager
08:55
<sbalneav>
ogra: did you get a chance to look at the manual changes I did?
08:55
<ogra>
(feisty+1 will likely handle ltsp upgrades as well with update-manager btw, i talked to mvo already)
08:56
sbalneav, i hvent looked at them, but the edubuntu-docs package was uploaded today
08:56
i trust you :)
08:56
<ursatz>
last question guys.... is there an hot to or a guide for the upgrade?
08:56
hot = how to
08:56
:)
08:56
<ogra>
ursatz, sudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp/* and the folow the guide i just gave you above
08:56
<sbalneav>
ogra: you're a brave man. A FOOLISH man, but a brave one. I salute you! :)

08:59

they obviously didnt use my laptop to test :P
08:59
<jammcq>
yeah, especially when you want to play with a static interface for LTSP testing
08:59Gadi has quit IRC
08:59

each time you reboot the workstation, the interface notices the connection went away, and nm gets confused
09:00

something keeps removing my default gw

its da evil
09:01
<Gad1>
if thats whats playing mind games with me
09:01
;)
09:01
<ogra>
and broken atm ... it will manage *all* interfaces
09:02
<Gad1>
ah...
09:02
ok
09:02
at least its officially broken
09:02
:)
09:02
<ogra>
bring up any static interface after you are connected wireless
09:02
then it wont touch it
09:02
<Gad1>
ok
09:02
<jammcq>
right, if it says 'auto' in interfaces, then nm wants to own it
09:02
<ogra>
i'm waiting for a fix myself ... /etc/network/interfaces will get a special flag for unmanaged interfaces
09:03
<jammcq>
ah, that would be nice
09:03
<ogra>
jammcq, no
09:03
<jammcq>
ogra: that's how it works for me
09:03
<ogra>
jammcq, nm just manages *ll* interfaces
09:03
*all
09:03
it doesnt touch or read /e/n/i anymore at all
09:03
<jammcq>
if I comment out 'auto eth0'
09:03
then it works fine
09:03
<ogra>
weird, there is no code for that anymore
09:03
<jammcq>
then, I have to do : ifup eth0
09:04
i'm on the latest fiest, updated yesterday
09:04
<ogra>
it reads hal and manages what it finds ...
09:04
indeed for cabled interfaces that applies only if you have a cable plugged in
09:04
it wont care for a disconnected iface

09:08

in your dreams
09:09
<sbalneav>
So, how DO you create a static interface in NM?
09:10
<jammcq>
my way is to not say 'auto' for that interface
09:10
but according to ogra, if there's a cable attached, it'll configure it anyway

i see..prob works fine in 4.2 8~)
09:39

umm, much better

but still, it's only a 200Mhz cpu, so don't expect blazing performance

the only client i have that will run lts5 is the one ron sent me

neither type of war is good ... and neither is better ...
09:44
jammcq, all ?
09:44
<jammcq>
I did 'lspci' and 'lspci -v'
09:44
didn't do '-a'
09:44
<ogra>
should be fine for a first glance
09:44
<jammcq>
and I grabbed /proc/cpuinfo
09:45
<ogra>
good, attach tht to the bug and i'll subscribe the kernel team to get some input
09:45
<jammcq>
k
09:45
I'll do that in a couple mins
09:46
<ogra>
also a boot log would be intresting ...
09:46
should be in syslog of the server ...
09:46
<jammcq>
how could I get that?
09:46
you pushing that over via syslogd now?
09:46
<ogra>
all clients should log to the servers syslog by default (at least in 5.0.4)
09:47
<jammcq>
5.0.4
09:47
?
09:47
<ogra>
i dropped it somewhere half way to feisty, but re-added it last upload
09:47
dpkg -l ltsp-server
09:48
should return 5.0.4 :)
09:48
else you are testing the wrong version
09:48
<jammcq>
ok, booting up lappy
09:48
yep, 5.0.4
09:49
<ogra>
good
09:53
make sure yur chroot was built at least with version 5.0.1 of ltsp-build-client (from march 12)
09:53
else you miss out the X detection changes
09:53
<jammcq>
how do I check the version of ltsp-build-client?
09:53
<ogra>
all other stuff shouldnt have any speed impact
09:53
<jammcq>
I build the chroot on friday, the 23rd, after an update
09:53
<ogra>
well, its the one included in the package
09:54
<jammcq>
in ltsp-server ?
09:54
<ogra>
yep
09:54
<jammcq>
ok, should be good
09:55
<ogra>
the only thing to check the chroot would probably be something like creation time of /etc/passwd
09:55
<jammcq>
but i'm not seeing any client messges in the servers /var/log/syslog :(
09:55
<ogra>
is /etc/ltsp/syslog existing ?
09:55
err
09:55
syslogd
09:56
it overrides the system settings and switches on remote logging
09:56
<jammcq>
nope
09:56
<ogra>
hrm ...
09:56* ogra checks
09:57
<ogra>
echo "SYSLOGD=\"-r\"" > /etc/ltsp/syslogd && sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart
09:57
dunno when that got lost, thanks for making me look :)
09:58* ogra fixes the source
09:58
<jammcq>
I see in the /etc/init.d/sysklogd script, it looks for /etc/ltsp/syslogd, but no config file
09:58
<ogra>
right, its not in the package, just fixing it
09:58
<jammcq>
cool
09:58

T20's seem just about perfect. Come in 500-700Mhz varieties with 128MB standard. And both available NIC's support PXE net booting. AND, they routinely can be had for under $100 on ebay. That sounds like the perfect budget thin client to me!
11:09
<SBNet>
ok, according to ltspcfg tftpd is running, portmapper is running and xdmcp is running, it also says that hosts is not configured, hosts.allow is not configured and exports is but lts.conf is, so what now?

well, the real question is how do i set it up to boot to the ltsp server without changing settings in the dhcp server?
11:16
<cliebow__>
what dhcp server?

well, according to this boot disk, it gets where the ltsp image is located from the dhcp server

<SBNet>
i need to create a bootdisk that will boot directly up to the ltsp box, the image is located on my ltsp box, the dhcp server cannot be touched, so basically the bootdisk will need to know where to go to get the ltsp image
11:21
<dan__t>
For those running sound, which sound driver are you using? I'm using a FC6-based LTSP4.2 right now.

I need a command that return the complete usernames of the logged users at a ltsp server... the 'who' and 'w' returns only 8 characters
11:27
;)
11:29
<SBNet>
my issue is that ltsp says it has to have dhcp setup to work, but i've talked to several people who said they didn't use dhcp that it was directly booting from a boot cd or disk so how do i cut out the dhcp
11:29
<jammcq>
hmm, you'd have to talk to one of them
11:30
<dan__t>
Wow, this INternet connection blows...
11:30
<jammcq>
cuz that's not supported by ltsp
11:30
<SBNet>
well, i've been told it can be done
11:30
<ogra>
sure, but its not ltsp ...
11:30
<jammcq>
ok, now you need to get THEM to tell you how
11:30
cuz we don't do that
11:31
<SBNet>
should i just setup a virtual ethernet adapter and use a different net and let dhcp do that net?
11:32
<dan__t>
There's still only one physical broadcast medium.
11:33
<SBNet>
but dhcp can look at the virtual adapter for dhcp then the server with a single nic acts like a router
11:33
<dan__t>
Then go for it heh.
11:35
jammcq, do you use sound for clients?
11:36
<jammcq>
dan__t: I don't
11:36
<dan__t>
hrm, alright
11:36
<jammcq>
I have a stereo for playing my music :)

that'd be pretty cool. and probably easy
11:37
<ogra>
it is
11:37
but requires coding time i cant spend :)
11:37
<jammcq>
what's the interface between the client and TV ?
11:38
coax ?
11:38

i always wanted a --mythtv option for ltsp-build-client

Ok, do we have a list of LTSP mirrors that I'm not seeing here?
11:38
<jammcq>
dan__t: nope, only one
11:39
<ogra>
jammcq, well, the screen of your TV is pretty flat iirc, isnt it ?
11:39
<jammcq>
I guess if it's only 1, it's not really a mirror :)
11:39
ogra: yeah, but it's old technology
11:39
rear-projection
11:39
<ogra>
but bigger :)
11:39
<jammcq>
needs to be adjusted, it's getting kind of blurry
11:39
<ogra>
i couldnt afford one in that size
11:39
(as LCD i mean)
11:40
<jammcq>
I could buy a very nice hdtv now, for the price I paid for that monster back in 1996
11:40

yeah
11:40
but then you need a HD reciever as well

ok, i've got a windows nt4 dhcp server, how do i set it up so that people with bootdisks/bootcds can boot from the ltsp server?
12:05
<bricode>
ogra: What type of thin client are you thinking for myth?
12:06
<ogra>
any ... it should ahve a decent graphics card, but thats all ...
12:06
you only need to run the myth client locally on the thin client ... the myth server can run anywhere
12:09
<bricode>
ogra: I'll agree to the good vid card bit.
12:10
ogra: The AMD Geode's can spit out 720x480 without an extra graphics card.
12:10
<ogra>
jammcq, my tests with openchrome and the red/black client you gave me dont turn out well ... seems openchrome still locks up from time to time
12:11
<jammcq>
bummer
12:11
<ogra>
bricode, if i attach the client to a TV that does 1280x800 i want the card to use that indeed
12:12
<bricode>
ogra: Geode can scale up to that if you wanted. Won't handle HD 720p streams though. Little will...you'd have to get some Core Solo, or a beefy graphics card.
12:14
<Blinny>
SBNet: Have you set the 'next-server' configuration flag on the dhcp server?
12:14
<bricode>
ogra: In fact, there are a lot of DVD players that do upscaling and not true HD on the market.
12:14
<ogra>
i dont care about hd streams at that point anymore ... i want the player to use the full resolution of the tv ... the HD handling/scaling etc should be done on the myth server
12:14
<SBNet>
no, i only have an ltsp setup running on an fc5 virtual machine, haven't gotten any farther cause i'm not sure what to do
12:17
<iMav>
SBNet: isn't it as simple as setting up the appropriate tftp and bootfile options?
12:17
(don't know anything about DHCP running on windows...so I have no idea where you would set that or the proper syntax)
12:17
<Blinny>
SBNet: I am not familiar with NT's dhcp configuration, but I know you need a 'next-server LTSP_SERVER_IP_HERE;' configuration in a regular Linux dhcp server.
12:18
<iMav>
I do, however, know how to do it on my linksys router's DHCP server (running 3rd party firmware) though. :)

Hello everyone. I come to your expertise in a problem that I am encountering. Background is: Main system has Edubutnu 6.10 full installation on it. Stopped using it and now doesn't support LTSP clients for some reason. Built new system just for Edubuntu Server default install with single nic dhcpd3 has been romoved. Now when booting the TC will start to boot off of Edubuntu Server and then go to the main machine. If I take the main
12:18
machine off the network then a buzybox error displayed. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
12:18
<SBNet>
yeah, i just installed dhcp so i could let ltsp config a file for it, just printed it out, might try to add these things to my nt4 dhcp server
12:19
<iMav>
SBNet: That's what I would do. No need to run the dhcp server as long as your current dhcpd can pass the proper parameters.

jgedeon :sounds like your nfs is not working..
12:20
<japerry>
not sure if anyone where is doing LTSP-5 on SuSE 10
12:20
but if you are, I'd like to talk to you -- I decided after working with 4.2 last night, that I'm going to 'attempt' to impliment LTSP5 on SuSE
12:20
<SBNet>
that's what i'm hoping will work, never tried this before and i'm not 100% with nt4 i usually use linux for all my apps but nt4 was here when i started working and won't get phased out for linux for another year or two
12:20
<jgedeon>
cliebow__: tried restarting nfs-ker.....
12:20
<japerry>
@find SusE
12:21
<cliebow__>
jgedeon, netstat -anp|grep ":2049" will show you if nfs is listening..all services are on one machine right?
12:23
<jgedeon>
cliebow__: with that command nothing is coming up on either the Edubuntu server nore the main machine.
12:24
Sorry typed it wrong.
12:24
Yes it's running.
12:25
<cliebow__>
in ltsp5 your opton root-path should have no ipaddress in it..
12:25
so it assumes
12:29
<jgedeon>
On the DHCP server root path is currently <IPADDRESS>:/opt/ltsp/i386
12:29SBNet has quit IRC
12:31
<cliebow__>
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; is mine for i386
12:31
# option root-path "/opt/ltsp/powerpc"; for ppc
12:32
<jgedeon>
OK. Just pulled it out and seeing what is happening. Before on the Main machine I needed to put the IP address in and this is the same install just months later.
12:33

12:49
<ogra>
is your nfs server running ? /opt/ltsp exported etc ?
12:49
<jgedeon>
ogra yes nfs is running.
12:51
<cliebow__>
do you have two dhcp servers running?
12:51
<jgedeon>
Booted a system off it fine a few minutes ago and then went to boot another system and that system got the busybox and now both are getting them.
12:52
<cliebow__>
do you have two dhcp servers running?
12:52
<jgedeon>
No dhcp3 is removed from the LTSP server and is dhcp is being handled by a endian firewall
12:53
<cliebow__>
and that dhcp server is passing out both filename and root-path
12:53
<jgedeon>
Correct.
12:53
<cliebow__>
SURE there isnt a rogue dhcp server?
12:54
<jgedeon>
Looking now.
12:55
The only other one that would be possible is this system and that service is stopped.
12:55
HHmm Might have systems booting now.... This makes no sense...
12:55
<cliebow__>
cant hurt to netstat -anp|grep ":67" just to be sure..
12:57
<jgedeon>
Nothing.
12:57
Both systems just booted for some reason.
12:58
<cliebow__>
might watch /var/log/messages or ids it syslog..to see that dhcp offers are coming from the right machine
12:58
wireshark is your friend
12:58
<jgedeon>
OK Looking now.

16:29
<bricode>

16:30

its part of ltsp-build-client
16:30

ogra: My current install is pretty shifty. I don't want to migrate my server to Feisty until the final release.
16:31
<ogra>
i only have three or four very minor changes that shouldnt change its behavior before release ... its at least ready for testing :)
16:31
i.e. feistys ltsp is at 5.0.4 atm ... dont expect it to go beyond 5.0.6 before release
16:32
<bricode>
Humm. I'm more worried about other things. My server has a highpoint sata raid card that requires custom kernel compilations, so I want to wait until the final is out and the kernel choice is (relatively) stable

you dont have the packages in edgy

Huh. Check.

16:46
initially that was only for debian vs ubuntu
16:46
wehn we had no separate packages
16:47
<bricode>
ogra: So what you're telling me is that I should upgrade to Feisty.
16:47
<ogra>
and they needed --dist sid
16:47
either that or grab a feisty tarball from ltsp.org
16:47
even though you will moss stuff on the dektop side thats not in edgy
16:47
<bricode>
like?
16:48

pulse support for example
16:49

Right. Well, I don't need sound at the moment anyway.
16:49
Is there support for local devices? Like say /dev/hda?
16:50

yes, but you need the ltspfs package on the server side

there were no changes between edgy/feisty
