<Bhaskar1>
Anybody can help me to integrate ltsp5 in debian based disrto?
01:41
<nrdb>
Bhaskar1: any distro ?
01:41
<Bhaskar1>
nrdb, debian
01:41
nrdb, ltsp5 integration on debian etch
01:42
<nrdb>
Bhaskar1: there is kubuntu, its debian based, and has ltsp setup by defualt.
01:42
Bhaskar1: opps that edubuntu not kubuntu
01:43
<Bhaskar1>
nrdb, i hane Nepalinux based on debian etch so i want to integrate ltsp5 there
01:47
<nrdb>
Bhaskar1: I am not fimular enough with that, I am using ubuntu, and I have access to two packages 'ltsp-server' and 'ltsp-server-standalone' and 'ltsp-utils' that can install ltsp on my computer.
01:48
<Bhaskar1>
nrdb, ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10?
01:49
nrdb, simply installed these package to get ltsp?
01:49
<nrdb>
I am wondering if I get a high end computer using something a dual core 64bit processor, can I use that as a server for simplier clients
01:50
<sep>
Bhaskar1, debian-edu have ltsp5 out of the box, but it's usualy. 1: install packages, 2: run the chroot script ltsp-build-client, 3: configure dhcp and tftp, 4: boot your client
01:50
<Bhaskar1>
nrdb, in edubuntu ltsp 5 or ltsp <5 package is default
01:51
<nrdb>
Bhaskar1: ubuntu 6.06 - I did install these on a test install some time ago to test it, it work fine.
01:51
<sep>
Bhaskar1, ltsp-server installes the needed tools and scripts to build the ltsp chroot. ltsp-server-standalone also depends on a dhcp and tftpserver
01:52
Bhaskar1, if this is your first server that will do dhcp and tftp you can use ltsp-server-standalone
01:52
<nrdb>
Bhaskar1: I don't know what version of ltsp it was.
01:52
<sep>
Bhaskar1, but i dont know if debian packages work on Nepalinux
01:53
<Bhaskar1>
sep, ya debian package works on nepalinux
01:54
<sep>
Bhaskar1, then install ltsp-server-standalone and read the docs in there
01:55
<Bhaskar1>
sep, apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server, generate error
01:55
sep, error is:apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server
01:55
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
01:56
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
01:56
<nrdb>
Bhaskar1: doing the apt-get as the root user ?
01:57
<sep>
is another process using it?
01:57
dont do more then 1 apt-get/aptitude/dpkg at the time
01:57
<Bhaskar1>
sep, ok it start to download gcompris-data
01:57
<nrdb>
that includes package managers like synaptic.
01:57
<sep>
and adapt
01:58
<Bhaskar1>
sep, after installation of this step what to do
01:59
sep, what scripts is needed to build ltsp client environment:ltsp-build-client

hello all
02:07
<Bhaskar1>
nrdb, how can i configure client to play music in client speaker?
02:08
nrdb, i want to play music in client speaker
02:10
sep, can u give me idea about client to play music in its speaker?
02:14
<sep>
Bhaskar1, i dont have any first hand experience with sound, but i think it's something like copy the example lts.conf file from /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-cleint/examples/ to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf; edit it with a text editor, adn make it say something like SOUND=True. and play using esd

<nrdb>
How much ram does a client need ?
03:22
<ogra>
depends which ltsp you use ... 4.2 needs at least 32M ... ltsp5 at least 48
03:23
(these are both minimal values without network swap or anyx features like sound or local device access, if you need either of the last two, you need network swapping and should consider having at least 64M)
03:30
<lzap_>
ogra: I am getting startkde: cannot acces localhost
03:31
ogra: how do I configure LDM to connect to remote X server?
03:31
instead of localhost...
03:31
<ogra>
you cant
03:32
<lzap_>
and what should I configure to have a console on the second screen?
03:32
<ogra>
ssh should set up an "X proxy tunnel" and forwards server:0.0 to localhost:10 (or :11)
03:32
<lzap_>
SCREEN_02 = shell
03:32
<nrdb>
ogra: I presume there is a mistype there in that 32M means actually 32Kb ?
03:32
<ogra>
so if the X apps in your saession connect to the virtual DISPLAY localhost=:10 on the server, all outouzt will happen on the client
03:33
lzap_, yes, tahts right
03:33
<lzap_>
my lts.conf confituration is very small...
03:33
<ogra>
nrdb, well, a currnet linux kernel is around 6-10M :) how would even the kernel fit in 32k ?
03:34
<lzap_>
LOCALDEV=True NBD_SWAP=True LDM_REMOTECMD=/usr/bin/startkde SCREEN_02 = shell
03:34
<ogra>
lzap_, can you paste it to the pastebot ?
03:34
<lzap_>
is it ok?
03:34
<ogra>
oh207, ok
03:34
yeah, that looks right, do you have a [default] line above these ?
03:34
<lzap_>
yep
03:35
<ogra>
ok
03:35
to me it looks like your ssh server isnt really doing X forwarding
03:35
<lzap_>
I will try to login as root now
03:35
how do I check that?
03:35
<ogra>
do you have a second machine on that network, so you could try: ssh user@server xterm
03:35
err
03:35
<nrdb>
ogra: oh sorry, not thinking fully there, sorry
03:36
<ogra>
ssh -X user@server xterm
03:36
where user must be a valid user on the server and server should be the servers IP
03:39
<lzap_>
_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6010: Name or service not known
03:39
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
03:40
^^^ the result of ssh -X ....
03:42
Mandriva 2006 is known with very (stupid) restrictive security setting, cant be X Server configured not to listen on some interfaces? I have checked the firewall, its not switched on

any1?

its not related to X its a ssh thing
03:55
<lzap_>
got it!
03:55
I miss "localhost" in /etc/hosts!
03:56
<ogra>
ah
03:56
heh, thats evil of mandriva
03:56
i wonder how they start local services or how even a gnome login should work without lo interface
04:01
<Bhaskar1>
ogra, i have startx script to shutdown client, where should i put this script?
04:05
<lzap_>
well I think ltsp-4.2 installation overwriten it
04:06
<ogra>
ouch, it shouldnt wipe your localhost entry
04:06
<lzap_>
maybe me... I was editing it...
04:06
<ogra>
tell that to jammcq if he's around, he'll be intrested to know about
04:07

KDE is starting, BINGO! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I need to get local devices working....
04:24BlueRaid has joined #ltsp
04:25
<lzap_>
how localdev support work in LTSP-5?
04:25
I do not have icons on the desktop :-(
04:25
<ogra>
set LOCALDEV=True in lts.conf and add the user on the server to the fuse group
04:26
oh207, and make suree to have an ltspfs binary on the server
04:26
<lzap_>
ok but Mandriva doesnt have fuse grup, I changed /dev/fuse to 666
04:26
localdev is set tu True already
04:27
I will check the ltspfs binary
04:27
yes its on the server
04:27
still no icons
04:27mistik1 has quit IRC
04:27
<ogra>
KDE has no integration for that, look in /media/$USER for mounted devices ...
04:27mistik1 has joined #ltsp
04:28
<BlueRaid>
lzap_ in gentoo you must edit /etc/fuse.conf maybe you must do it in madravia too?
04:28
and you must set to fusemount that stickybit
04:28
<lzap_>
theres no /media in mandriva
04:28
should i create it? :-D
04:28
<ogra>
huh ?
04:29
diesntr mandriva use hal and udev ?
04:29
*doesnt
04:29
<lzap_>
yes hal and udev running
04:30
<ogra>
weird
04:30
they use these dirs for media mounting
04:30
probably mandriva does something non standard here
04:30* ogra hasnt seen a mandriva install since several years
04:31
<BlueRaid>
ogra what distri you use?
04:32
<ogra>
BlueRaid, ubuntu indeed :)
04:33
<lzap_>
/mnt contains mounted medias on the server
04:34
how localdev works in LTSP-5 ?
04:34
<BlueRaid>
Gentoo rockt
04:34
<lzap_>
BlueRaid: youre repeating a bit :-)
04:35
<ogra>
lzap_, if you plug in a device on the client, udev adds it to fstab there and executes a script on the server through an ssh tunnel ...
04:35
that script mounts the client device to your servers /media/$usre/<devicename>
04:36
<BlueRaid>
user or hostname?
04:36
<ogra>
if there were 2seconds not traffic on the interface it silently< unmounts it on the client side, but still shows the contents on the server side ... (so its unmounted and you can safely unpolug it) as soon as you access the device from the server side again it silenty mounts it in the backround
04:36
BlueRaid, username
04:37
the directory is 0600 $USER, so nobody on the server can look inside others devices
04:38
das interface soll DHCP machen ? oder isses statisch ?
04:39
<lzap_>
I am trying this in a vmware, when I connect the CDROM image (insert a CD), nothing is mounted on the client side
04:39
(no entry in "mount" command output)

<Bhaskar1>
BlueRaid, hello
04:41
<ogra>
lzap_, so you have all the above i listed, an ltspfs binary for mandriva on the server and you are in the fuse group ?
04:41
<lzap_>
yes
04:42
<ogra>
wher did you get the ltspfs stuff ?
04:42* ogra didnt know we had ported all these scripts
04:43
<lzap_>
its scripts from 4.2 installation
04:43
its still on the server
04:44
<ogra>
no, you need the newer implementation
04:44
and to my knowledge nobody ported that yet
04:44
doews mandriva have something like alien to convert .deb packages to rpm ?

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/ltspfs/ has the ltspfs package we use in ubuntu ...
04:45
<elifed>
mistik1, Yo Andrew, wake up :D
04:45
<ogra>
(and in debian in the next releasse as well i think)
04:52
<lzap_>
I have downloaded http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/ltspfs/ltspfs_0.4.3.orig.tar.gz
04:52
manual install will be ok?
04:53
configure: error: Package requirements (x11) were not met :-(
04:55
checking for LTSPFSD... -- what this mean?
04:56
its checking for ltspfsd? do I have install it before installing ltspfs?
04:58
<ogra>
no
04:58
the scripts you need are in the .deb package ...
05:03
<lzap_>
deb is useless for me in Mandriva
05:07
what libraries ltspfs needs?
05:07
x11-devel is already installed and configure still fails
05:07
<ogra>
thats why i asked if you have a converter tool like the other distros do
05:07
<lzap_>
ollie written this
05:08
it wont work
05:08
<ogra>
i have no clue about mandriva, sorry, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/misc/ltspfs lists dependecies
05:08
<lzap_>
I need to compile it
05:11
<Novell>
lzap_: there's probably a config.log you can check for more clues
05:23
<envite>
Hey all
05:24
must SiS7019 soundcard still be compiled? or is it integrated in ltsp 4.2?
05:27Bhaskar1 has quit IRC
05:31
<ogra>
envite, i dont thinbk anybody puts time into 4.2 development anymore ... apart from bug or security fixes
05:32
so its very likely you still have to compile it

hmm, I can speak Gibberish, does that count?
06:00
<ogra>
all the bugs i get for feisty atm are localization related ...
06:00
and i'm beyond a point where i can fix much
06:00
<jammcq>
I'm giving a talk tomorrow, I can appeal to the brazilians for help in this area
06:01
<ogra>
for the gibbon at least :)
06:01
also some advertising for new dev blood would be good ;)
06:02
the new ldm will be (is already) fully transalatable ...
06:02

wow, you've been busy

is it ok that it installs to /usr/local ?
08:29
<ogra>
as long as thats in your path
08:29
<lzap_>
I mean - when I was trying LTSP-4.2 lots of paths were hardcoded
08:29
e.g. /usr/sbin/ltspfs etc
08:34
ok I have issued make install twice
08:34
it installed
08:35
anything to configure?
08:35
<ogra>
not sure ... just make sure to have all the python scripts you need
08:35
ther are *not in the tarball
08:35
as i said before these are only in the package

08:54irule has joined #ltsp
08:58
<lzap_>
it seems to be installed, but when I insert a CD --- nothing
08:59
any log avaiable?
09:00
<ogra>
it should log to the servers syslog (unless mandriva forbids remote logging)
09:01Faithful1 has joined #ltsp
09:01
<lzap_>
yes remote logging works
09:01
but no messages from ltspfs
09:06
when I insert a CD on the terminal, what should happen?
09:06
should it mount it shomewhere?
09:06
for 2 seconds... ?
09:09
<ogra>
no, there should be a premanent mount in /media/$user
09:09
<lzap_>
on terminal
09:09
?
09:09
<ogra>
the unmounting is happening transaparently on the client ... you wont see it
09:09
<lzap_>
theres nothing in the /media dir
09:10
no log messages
09:10
<ogra>
no, on the server
09:10
<lzap_>
yes, nothing on the server
09:10
<ogra>
on the client it will create a hidden dir in /var/run/drives
09:10
<lzap_>
whats "client", the terminal?
09:10
with ubuntu?
09:10
<ogra>
yeah
09:11bjohnson has quit IRC
09:11
<lzap_>
when I insert a CD and issue "mount"
09:11
there is nothing mounted to /var/run/drives...
09:11
whats wrong?
09:11
<ogra>
thats correct
09:11
if you issue mount on the client you shouldnt see the CD
09:12
but you should have an entry for it in fstab and the dir should be there .
09:12
<lzap_>
ok next step
09:12
yes
09:12
its there (in the fstab)
09:13
<ogra>
pointing to /var/run/drives/cdrom or something ...
09:13
<lzap_>
ltspfsd, cdrompinger and delayed_mounter is running...
09:13
<ogra>
good
09:13
<lzap_>
yes its pointing there
09:13
<ogra>
so the client side is working properly
09:14
check if something is in /var/log/ldm.log on the client
09:14
<lzap_>
ok
09:14
<ogra>
related to ltspfs
09:14
note that nobody has tried what you do there :)
09:15
i guess someone should package a proper rpm for ltspfs :)
09:16
<lzap_>
oops lots of messages
09:16

nothing in the /media

anything in the mount command on the server ?
09:23
<lzap_>
I tried to issue this on the server
09:23
error: /usr/lib/libfuse.so.2 not found
09:24
because this library is in /usr/local too
09:24
omg
09:24
<ogra>
so you dont have all dependecies
09:24
ugh
09:24
yu should use your distros fuse lib
09:24
not anything selfcompiled
09:25
fuse is directly related to the kernel module, its a bad idea to use that from a third party source
09:25
<lzap_>
fuse in 2006 is unusable
09:25
buggy, old
09:25
I simply cant use it...
09:26
<ogra>
thats very bad
09:26
ltspfs is 100% fuse based
09:27
<lzap_>
I have the most recent version installed from source
09:27
in /usr/local
09:27
it should accept that things can be installed in /usr/local...
09:27
<ogra>
do you have the kernel module loaded, does your linker know about /usr/local/lib ?
09:28
<lzap_>
something like LD_LIBRARY_PATH right?
09:28
fuse is loaded yes
09:28
<ogra>
no, /etc/ld.so.conf ... and run ldconfig as root
09:28SBNet has joined #ltsp
09:29
<lzap_>
its not there, nope
09:29
<ogra>
??
09:29
whats not there ?
09:29
<lzap_>
no entry for /usr/local/lib
09:29
made it, run the ldconfig
09:29
sec
09:29
<ogra>
right
09:30
<lzap_>
ok
09:30
no more LDD messages
09:30
<ogra>
ok, one down

but Error: progam not installed setuid root: Sucess

/usr/bin/lbmount must be suid root

now I have /tmp/.lzap-ltpsfs/cdrom direct

yay
09:33
<lzap_>
I cannot execute it
09:33
nothing
09:34
<ogra>
right thats wanted
09:34
fuse doesnt let you
09:34

so?
09:34
<ogra>
now check if the bind mount to /media gets created as well
09:34

hey, local device support, great feature
09:34
now if we can get reliable local sound we will be doing awsome

SBNet, yeah ... especially if you try to get the ubuntu ltspfs woring on mandriva :P

SBNet, well, you will have the problem that fedora still has no ltsp5 support ...and 4.x will be dropped at some point
09:38
lzap_, youre welcome
09:38
<lzap_>
ogra: I will write a tutorial
09:38
<SBNet>
well, according to the fedora 7 list, ltsp5 will be fully supported and we be available in the repos
09:38

i suppose what we did is too much to document
09:38
lzap_, really ? you rock :)
09:38

ogra: now I will try to compile new fuse+ltspfs for 4.2, I do not want 5.0
09:38
I would love to get it working in 4.2
09:38

SBNet, i havent got any patch from fedora yet ...
09:39
SBNet, and i suspect vagrantc or sbalneav neither ...
09:39
<lzap_>
ogra: well will this work in 4.2 ? I thing no, because there must be special client (the Ubuntu one), right?
09:39* vagrantc has seen nothing from the fedora crew
09:40
<ogra>
lzap_, the way we set it up now it only works in ltsp5
09:40

could I replace the UBUNTU logo with their company logo?

aanything in particular?

the feel of it and the fact that it wasn't as great as i had hoped out of the box, actually took me longer to get it working on my laptop than fedora

11:00
<Blinny>
cliebow_: The biggest advantage I see in Ubuntu as an administrator is the ease of upgrade.
11:00
Fedora's supported upgrade path is really 'format and reinstall'
11:00
<cliebow_>
me too..i depend heavily on nx and itr is a breeze to install in ubuntu
11:01
<Blinny>
cliebow_: I take it you're not x86_64 (;
11:01

<Blinny>
I've taken a box from FC4-6 via yum but... yeah.
11:04
<vagrantc>
hmmm.... i guess the fedora folks aren't working in secret about LTSP integration, they're just working without talking to LTSP folks.
11:06
<Blinny>
Looks to me like it's much earlier on in the process than actual 'work' yet (; -- maybe specification phase
11:06
<cliebow_>
vagrantc: eric harrison had a start on it..havnt heard from him in a LOng time
11:07
<vagrantc>
even when we were in the same physical space, eric harrison and warren togami were very reluctant to show what they had come up with
11:07
there are references to code, but no visible code.
11:08
or, i guess, references to "work" but no visible code.
11:08
<Blinny>
Competition between distros of that nature isn't helpful in the grand scheme.
11:10
<vagrantc>
no, that's why i've tried to be as available as possible.
11:10
i don't want to see some major code fork
11:10
<cliebow_>
for sure..
11:11
it is not really rocket science making it work..optimising it is an entirely different stry
11:11
<vagrantc>
and i know there are probably some debian-isms in the code. i'd rather hear what those are and fix them than have people just assume all the work we've done is totally distro-specific.

yeh, you just need enough cash to start with. Once you have a reasonable amount of cash it just kinda multiplies

douglas_a, set SCREEN_01=shell in your lts.conf and boot the client
14:12

14:13
<douglas_a>

did you press alt-f1 after you booted ? SCREEN_01=shell forces the system to run a shell on terminal one ...

Wahoooooooooooooooooo I got firefox running on my thin client as a local application from a usb memory stick. *Love* me some LTSP! :)
22:17
anyone here tonight? :)

22:18* vagrantc claps
22:18
<vagrantc>
NefariousAryq: why on usb stick?
22:19
<NefariousAryq>
It loaded *very* slowly when running it as a local application from the nfs mount... I dont know why... but it was VERY slow to load.
22:20
I mean, its kinda slow to load from the usb stick, but ... not near as bad.
22:25
We have an interesting setup. heh.

I am having one problem. I'm trying to launch firefox from my .xsession file. Except I keep getting an error that the file doesnt exist in ~/Drives/CruzerMicro/firefox/ ... in my .xsession-errors file. Except... When I put an xterm in my xsession file... I can see that infact ~/Drives/CruzerMicro/firefox *does* exist.
22:34
(hope that made sense)

<vagrantc>
NefariousAryq: are you running it as a local app, or remotely? it sounds like you're trying to run it through ltspfs ... ?
23:04
<NefariousAryq>
I thought I was running it locally... When I can see the ~/Drives/CruzerMicro folder from the xterm in my .xsession file, I can run it there, manually, and it loads: ~/Drives/CruzerMicro/firefox & ... and the light on the flash drive flashes away and Firefox loads.
23:05
<vagrantc>
is xterm running locally?
23:05
how is it set up?
23:06
i.e. how are you logging in?
23:07
<NefariousAryq>
I'll try to explain in the best way I can, I'm really bad about trying to explain stuff I dont necesarily understand myself... *grin*
23:07
<vagrantc>
maybe post your lts.conf to the pastebot, for starters ... could save some explanatio
23:07
n
23:07
<NefariousAryq>
Sure. Gimme just a sec to pull it from the servah. :)
23:10
<ltsppbot>
"NefariousAryq" pasted "My lts.conf" (17 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/98
23:10
<NefariousAryq>
There ya go.
23:10
Theres that.
23:23
Let me switch gears for a second... Before getting into that.
23:23* vagrantc forgot to look at the lts.conf
23:24* vagrantc looks now
23:24
<NefariousAryq>
Should a usb flash drive that is plugged into the thin client *before* the thin client boots up get automatically found/mounted? Or does the local device access stuff only mount it if its plugged in when the client is on?
23:25
<vagrantc>
should happen either way
23:25
so ... i see you have "SCREEN_01 = shell" .... how are you starting X ?
23:26
<NefariousAryq>
I just changed that cuz I was doing some testing. when its = shell, I just type 'startx'... usually I have that to the other option.
23:26
<vagrantc>
ok ... so the "startx" screen session will log you into the server.
23:26
<NefariousAryq>
(Hrmmm, my usb stick doesnt look like its getting mounted at boot when the client turns on... that could be a bigger issue than the othe).
23:27
<vagrantc>
so that your xterm is running on the server ... and therefore ~/Drives will be files on the server ...
23:27
so then running the firefox from there is actually running on the server, from a device mounted on the thin client ...
23:28
you would need to do something like ... "ssh -X ip.of.thin.client firefox" to be running it "locally"
23:28
though, we're talking about local apps with ltsp 4.2 here, which i'm pretty weak on, having never actually used ltsp 4.2
23:29
<NefariousAryq>
Well, in my .xaccess file... I do ssh into the terminal, and run a script called "localapps.sh", which is in ~.
23:29
and localapps.sh is whats acctually calling firefox.
23:29
(or trying to)
23:29
<vagrantc>
ah. ok ... sounds better.

Hi?
23:30
<NefariousAryq>
vagrantc: .xsession does some other stuff it needs to do, then it does: exec ssh $USER env DISPLAY=:0.0 ~/localapps.sh
23:30
<vagrantc>
paavum: how have your ltsp adventures gone?
23:31
<NefariousAryq>
localapps.sh does.... ~/Drives/CruzerMicro/firefox & [next line] xscreensaver & [next line] icewm [end]
23:31
<paavum>
vagrantc ... well I have basic functionality
23:31
came here earlier but I guess you guys were meditating ;)
23:31
<vagrantc>
heh
23:32
<paavum>
anyway... I came by to see if anybody could gimme a hand installing a bluetooth headphone on ltsp
23:32
<vagrantc>
NefariousAryq: ah, so the ~/.xsession on the server has no window manager running?
23:32
<paavum>
if youre not being able to login
23:32
ack
23:32
NefariousAryq ... whats ur prob?
23:33
<vagrantc>
NefariousAryq: so, essentially you're running everything locally ... ? why log into the server then?
23:34
<paavum>
vagrantc ... another q is... how on earth do I set the proper locale settings to be able to install the debian packages with apt or dpkg
23:34
<vagrantc>
paavum: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 dpkg-reconfigure locales
23:34
<NefariousAryq>
Basically. Theres some files I have mounted that I need access to, and obviously I need /home/ ... is there another way to do what Im trying to do? I was just assuming in how to go about what I was doing, modifying a working ltsp setup that ran stuff on the server, to this. :)
23:35
<paavum>
vperl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

thats what I get when I do the dpkg-reconfigure --locale

23:39
<paavum>
nothing there
23:39
<vagrantc>
how did you build /opt/ltsp/i386 ?
23:40
<paavum>
tarball :P
23:40
<vagrantc>
is this a debian or ubuntu tarball ?
23:40
<paavum>
ubuntu edgy
23:40
<vagrantc>
ah.
23:40* vagrantc doesn't know locale stuff for ubuntu
23:41
<vagrantc>
probably something like: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install langpack-FOO
23:41
on debian systems, the locale stuff just works for quite a while now :)
23:42
well, i'm sure there's problems ...
23:42
<paavum>
so I should migrate to debian?
23:42
its just downloading another tarball :P
23:42
<vagrantc>
well, you just need to ask someone who knows the locale stuff
23:43
it shouldn't be real hard to do.
23:43
<paavum>
anybody here knows locales for ubuntu?
23:43* vagrantc might try and make some patches to add support for ubuntu someday
23:43
<paavum>
its weird... I've read some forums
23:44
and no luck
23:44
anyway...
23:44
I'm trying to run local apps
23:44
(dosbox)
23:45
and I cant seem to get it right :(
23:45
Any suggestions?
23:45
<vagrantc>
how have you tried to configure local apps ?
23:46
<paavum>
umm I followed the wiki
23:46
<vagrantc>
for ltsp 4.2 ?
23:46
<paavum>
yeah :(
23:46
I set up most of the YP stuff
23:46
and the SSH-keys
23:46
<vagrantc>
there's no built-in support for local apps on any of the ltsp 5 implementations that i know of
23:47
<paavum>
damn! I changed to ltsp5 to be able to run local apps easily
23:47
<vagrantc>
well ...
23:47
<paavum>
somewhere I read it would be as easy as chroot and then apt-get install
23:47
:/
23:47
<vagrantc>
you can run ALL applications locally fairly easily
23:48
but there is no built-in support for it.
23:48
and running some applications locally is possible, but requires more work.
23:48
<paavum>
vagrantc ... can you help me get that done?
23:49
<vagrantc>
i need to sleep soon... maybe tomorrow
23:49
<paavum>
ool
23:49
I was thinking on crashin myself
23:49
<vagrantc>
but you have to promise to document it and post it to a wiki :)
23:49

U got msn pal?

NefariousAryq: go for it
23:57
<NefariousAryq>
Alright. So I told ya I could run ~/Drives/CruzerMicro/firefox from the xterm *on* the terminal itself, but I was mistaken. I was running it from an xterm on the client connected to the server. so it was taking firefox from the thin client, running it on the server, and displaying it to the client. *laugh* MY BAD.
23:57
So.
23:57
I got an xterm running in that localapps.sh script, an xterm actually running ON the server.
23:58
err.
23:58
ON the CLIENT.
23:58
and it, infact, can not see ~/Drives/CruzerMicro/
23:58
even tho the server *can* see /home/ws127/Drives/CruzerMicro/firefox
23:58
<vagrantc>
yes, that's how ltspfs works.
23:59
<NefariousAryq>
oh..
23:59
<vagrantc>
it doesn't mount on the thin-client
