<sep>
marek82, i dont know much, but it seams to me that the redhat people dont tell what they are up to. so if there is rpm's working and they have implemented ltsp5 it require inside knowledge to get access to it. i recomend if you want to use ltsp5 to use debian or ubuntu.
03:02
or call your redhat representative :)
03:05
<marek82>
hehe
03:05
i am using centos anyways
03:05

hi

<flying_shell>
hey
03:12
<untitled>
i tried ltsp5, but have a little problem here, nfsmount keeps saying "need a path"
03:13
if i restart nfs server a couple of times, it boots
03:13
<flying_shell>
have you checked you /etc/exports?
03:13
<untitled>
lost of times
03:13
/opt/ltsp *(ro,no_root_squash,async,subtree_check)
03:13
here it is
03:14
<flying_shell>
i think theres a failure
03:14
my exports looks like this:
03:15
<ltsppbot>
"flying_shell" pasted "exports" (2 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/111
03:15
<untitled>
you using ltsp5?
03:16
<flying_shell>
no I am using LTSP4.2 but the export file is a part of the nfs server and the sytnax shoild be the same, i think
03:19
<untitled>
keeps telling the same thing
03:19
<flying_shell>
you could try to mount your share manually for testing purpose
03:19
mount -t nfs $IP$:/$SHARE$ /mountdir

Hola cliebow
05:36
I was in a meeting. I'm in it, right now ;)
05:37
<cliebow>
Cool
05:37
<marek82>
how can i boot ltsp up, if i dont have dhcp running?
05:37
can i?
05:38
i have local network a dhcpd running.. and i cant have 2..
05:40
<sep>
marek82, you can put the needed config into the dhcp that your running
05:41
or you can put 2 network cards on the ltsp server and make a dedicated ltsp client network that the ltsp server have dhcp for
05:41
that's also sane for performance
05:41
<marek82>
hmm
05:41
its 2 diffrent servers
05:42
<sep>
marek82, btu you can put the configs needed for ltsp into the already exsisting server
05:42
it does not have to be the same server the the tftp server
05:42
<marek82>
wait..
05:43
u mean i can but dhcpd config to existing server
05:43
and take tftp from other?
05:44
<cyberor1>
marek82: fun of networked computers ;)
05:44
<marek82>
:D
05:44
hmm
05:44

05:45
what should i but there?
05:45

05:46

<cyberor1>
ogra: where does this function come from? boolean_is_true
06:55MoL0ToV has joined #ltsp
06:55
<ogra>
ltsp_functions i think
06:55
<cyberor1>
i get command not found errors
06:55
its not there
06:55
<ogra>
should be sourced at the top of the script
06:55
<cyberor1>
checked those three places sourced, didnt find it there
06:57J45p3r has quit IRC
06:57
<ogra>
hmm, wait
06:57
i dont have that function in ubuntu
06:57
there should be a get_boolean function
06:58
are you sure you use up to date code ?
06:58
<cyberor1>
ok, i must have copied debian file
06:58
<ogra>
boolean_is_true is very old and deprecated
06:59
<cyberor1>
ok, sorry, my mistake
07:00
btw, i got kiwi built chroot to boot and log in the server using xdmcp, used ltsp intird and kernel to pxeboot
07:01
theoritically kiwi can built images for any distro that uses smart package manager
07:01
you guys need to check it out
07:02fxrsliberty has joined #ltsp
07:03
<cyberor1>
ogra: ok, now which scripts should i be interested in copying over to my chroot image?
07:04
<ogra>
well, i would make a ltsp-client and ldm package for your distro
07:05
make the ltsp-client package carry the two initscripts, one to set up everything and oe to start the ltsp screen scripts
07:05
<cyberor1>
i've bzr'd everything, where do i look
07:05
<ogra>
look in the debian dir
07:06
all files refixed with ltsp-client define what our ltsp-client package is
07:06
(install locations etc)
07:06jammcq has quit IRC
07:06
<cyberor1>
ok
07:06
where are the init scripts?
07:06
<ogra>
you want to specifically look at ltsp-client.install to find the paths
07:06
<cyberor1>
ok
07:07
<ogra>
ltsp-client.ltsp-client-setup.init is the initscript that sets up everything
07:07
ltsp-client.init is the initscript that runs the screen scripts
07:07
indeed the package needs to shp the screen scripts as well ... they are mainly the old ltsp 4.2 scripts with minor modifications

we got some people interested, and hopefully we will start working on it, here is the discussion http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2007-04/msg00263.html
07:09
and a summary http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2007-04/msg00281.html

<ogra>
nice seems you really get something going :)
07:11
<cyberor1>
lets hope we get suse in there in couple of months time
07:12
<ogra>
heh
07:12
it took 1.5 years to get ubuntu where it is now :)
07:12
<cyberor1>
it could be by next week if someone who knows/understands what's in those scripts, we have your great work to base it on ;)
07:13
<ogra>
well, you need more :) ltspfs is a big bone you have ahead still
07:13
nbd ...
07:13
(for swapping)
07:14
alo sound ... do you have the new pulseaudio in suse already ?
07:14
*also
07:14
<cyberor1>
i went through feisty-ltsp/server/plugins scripts, are they for creating chroot?
07:14
<ogra>
yep
07:14
<cyberor1>
yeah we have pulseaudio
07:15
does the scripts there call the ltsp-client* scripts?
07:15
<ogra>
well, there is a lot of stuff t fine tune .... dont expect it to be done in a week ;)
07:15
no
07:15
<cyberor1>
yeah, was just kidding :)
07:16
when does ltsp-client* and ltsp-server* script come into play?
07:16
<ogra>
the plugis are bootstrapping the chroot, installing X, ltsp-client, ldm and ltspfsd and setting some defaults
07:16
and they disable most of the default initscripts ...
07:17
<cyberor1>
ok, that work is done by kiwi
07:17
<ogra>
if you boot a client, it mounts nfs and then starts a normal bootprocess
07:17
in rcS it executes the -setup initscript
07:18
in rc2 (our default runlevel) it executes ltsp-client (which then starts X and runs ldm)
07:18
<cyberor1>
and ltsp-server* ?
07:18
<ogra>
the -setup script is responsible to make all files that need to be RW available through a tmpfs ...
07:18
configure X ....
07:19
set up syslog to log to the server
07:19
create an fstab
07:19
connect to the nbd swapserver
07:19
and start the local device scripts if necessary
07:20
<cyberor1>
i must get that in README somewhere :)
07:20
<ogra>
ltsp-server sets up nfs and dhcp ..
07:20
and ships the ltsp-build-client ltsp-update-kernels and ltsp-update-sshkeys scripts
07:20
(as well as the plugins needed by ltsp-build-client)
07:21Guaraldo has joined #ltsp
07:21
<ogra>
well, just have a look at the bottom of the ltsp-client.ltsp-client-setup.init script
07:21
it has pretty descriptive names for the functions, you should be able to guess what which is doing by the name
07:22
<Guaraldo>
Hi, all...
07:22
<cyberor1>
ltspfsd (no project space known, for more info see bottom of this wiki article) lp_server (not available, due to licensing) and ltspinfod (to be developed, it can't be installed yet)
07:23
whats up with that?
07:23
<cliebow__>
Guaraldo: hody
07:23
<cyberor1>
cliebow_ is our resident greeter :)
07:23
<ogra>
cyberor1, ltspfs has no proper upstream repo atm we'll sort that soon ...
07:23
<fxrsliberty>
Cyberor1:pretty deep stuff huh
07:24
<cyberor1>
fxrsliberty: just grasping straws
07:24
<ogra>
cyberor1, all you could do atm to get ltspfs/d is to grab the ubuntu source package, apply the ubuntu patches and build an rpm from it
07:24
<cliebow_>
it is my contribution! cant seem to get a handle on anything of substance..8~)
07:24
<cyberor1>
cliebow_ it is very refreshing :)
07:25
ogra: and what about the license thing
07:25
<cliebow_>
i hate seeing interested people unmentioned..all about community..
07:25
<ogra>
cyberor1, lp_server is unlicensed and no upstream is available, we switched to jetpipe, a simple python based dataforwarding script that hooks between jetdirect ports and printer devices
07:25
<cliebow_>
now if jammcq would pay for my typing lessons....
07:25
<ogra>
https://launchpad.net/people/ogra/+branch/ltsp/feisty-ltsp-jetpipe
07:26
its very trivial and could still need some love
07:26
<cyberor1>
yeah, i saw jetpipe mentioned somewhere, lp_server is deprecated? that needs to be reflected on wiki
07:26
<ogra>
well lp_server is wonky licensed

in case we get a group of suse hackers working on it, do we need to set up launchpad accounts or we can do it on forge.novell.com and submit patches/tarballs to you for inclusion upstream?
07:30
<ogra>
bzr branches would be preferred
07:30
<cyberor1>
ok, need to learn bzr :(
07:30
<ogra>
just put them up on a webserver so i can merge them ...
07:30
launchpad makes it easier but you dont need to use it indeed :)
07:31
<cyberor1>
ok :)
07:33
<ogra>
debian stores their bzr branches on alioth.debian.org somewhere ... all you need for bzr is a webserver you have access to...
07:34
<cyberor1>
why do you say ltspfs/d and nbd may cause trouble?
07:35
<ogra>
well, you need a server sided setup for nbd ...
07:35
no idea how suse does that :) so thats something you will have to handle
07:35
<cyberor1>
that is on my server on which chroot is kept?
07:35
<ogra>
and ltspfs needs packages for server and client side
07:35

similar with file sounds under totem

otherwise for the sounds systems it is perfect

nfs v4 doesn't allow bind mounts? weird.
10:16
<ogra>
well, i'm not sure i do everything right here
10:16
but everything else works fine
10:17
<vagrantc>
if you get a mount for / ... i don't see what you could be doing wrong.
10:17
<ogra>
so i assume its a nfs4 limitation i read a lot hrrible stuff about nfs4 the last days
10:17
nfs4 needs idmapd to map uids
10:17
i need to start it in the initramfs and move mount the socket dir ...
10:18
might be there gets soething lost along the way or something
10:18
plain readonly nfsroot works bind mounting tmpfs works as well
10:19
just the additional bind mount that points back to the original file doesnt
10:19
/proc/mounts shows the file RW
10:19
but if i echo anything into it it doesnt change
10:20
anyway, since that forced me to tpmfs mount the whole of /etc i noticed that its actually faster to do it like that than bind mounting all these single files
10:20
(it eats bout 2M though)

Anyone able to help with a PXE-T01 file not found error? I think it has to do with the pxelinux.0 file path in my windows dhcp settings, but I'm not sure.

hi, pscheie...
11:10PMantis has joined #ltsp

The client obtains its dhcp address from my windows dhcp server, and I've set the "boot server host name" and the path to the pxelinux.0 file in the configuration settings.
11:12
not sure what the tftpd-ha settings are
11:15
<ogra>
RandomBrown, on windows it will be called "Bootfile Name"
11:15
(the tftp settings)
11:15
the tftp server you point to must have that path you set available
11:16Gadi has joined #ltsp
11:16
<RandomBrown>
So, my bootfile path is /etc/ltsp/i386/boot/pxelinux.0, I have to set my tftp server to that path as well?
11:17
<ogra>
no you have to set the windows setting to what you actually see from the outside if you connect to your tftpd
11:17
check your inetd settings what they define as chroot path for tftp ...
11:18
<RandomBrown>
Can you clarify that? Where the inetd settings are?
11:18
<ogra>
well, on my ubuntu systm they are in /etc/inetd.conf
11:18
there i have a line for tftp
11:18
<RandomBrown>
ok thanks, checking
11:19
<ogra>
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot
11:19
the -s parameter sets the chroot ... my bootfiles are in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386 ... so the outside world would see /ltsp/i386
11:20
and thats what i woud have to set in windows (if i would use it)
11:20
Bootfile Name: ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
11:20
<RandomBrown>
Ok, I have that same path in mine, let me try that

how do you run it?

I'm playing with the Thin Client Manager Gui...
11:26
It says you need x11vnc installed to view the thin client desktops. Ideas for a decent package?
11:26

Gadi, no idea to be hinest i didt folow its development ... ther must be a spec in launchpad :)

11:26

ogra: I see we both have time for the same things ;)

ogra: I'd like to create the "palm under ltsp" spec, best way to do that for Gutsy?
11:27
<ogra>
its mean that it only highlights yourself but not sbalneav
11:28
sbalneav, well, i suspect thats just some udev scripting magic ...
11:28
should be trivial and easy to do
11:28
<sbalneav>
right
11:28
sure, which is why I'd like it in
11:28
<ogra>
i want the ldm, hal localdev, and probably an nfs4 spec ...
11:28
<sbalneav>
that and getting jpilotd installed in the chroot.
11:28
<bricode>
Heh. Guess I didn't have the right repos enabled.
11:29
<ogra>
i think we should leave the ltsp-profiling one to jim :)
11:29
so he has something on his plate as well
11:29* Gadi would dump nfs4 in favor of sshfs
11:29
<ogra>
Gadi, two totally different things
11:29
nfs4 for /
11:29
<sbalneav>
I guess my question is: i can create a spec, how to target for gutsy?
11:29
<ogra>
sshfs for /home
11:30
sbalneav, add it to the UDS
11:30
<Gadi>
because / needs encryption? !
11:30
<ogra>
"suggest for meeting"
11:30
<sbalneav>
ok
11:30
I'll try
11:30
<ogra>
Gadi, some people want it ... nfs4 works fine without encryption, so i'd like to have nfs4 by default ad optionally the user can switch on encryption
11:31
<bricode>
Pulseaudio in Feisty is pretty sweet.
11:31
<Gadi>
ok. I'll put my sandwich for lunch in a cast-iron safe and lock it up tight, too
11:31
;)
11:31
<bricode>
Except that I can't get a USB audio device to work.
11:32
<ogra>
bricode, not even if you boot with it plugged in ?
11:32
<bricode>
Yeah, it detects it when plugged in on boot.
11:32
<ogra>
alsa will currently only use the first device it detects
11:32
<bricode>
Just can't seem to direct the audio to the pipe
11:33
<ogra>
if thats the internal card it will use that one ... i'm planning some udev magic for the future here, but not sure i'll get around it for gutsy
11:33
<bricode>
There's an internal card, but also want the option of a USB headset. Am I asking too much? :)
11:35
<ogra>
for feisty you do .. :)
11:35
<bricode>
Humm. Gotcha :)
11:35
<ogra>
you could blacklist the module for the internal card in the chroot
11:35
<bricode>
Tricky.
11:35
<ogra>
bt indeed that will blacklist it on all your clients
11:35
not really ...
11:36
<bricode>
I've got a mix of clients that will need it, and some that won't.
11:36
<ogra>
boot the client, find out the module name and put it into the chroots /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
11:37
hmm, should put an option for a custom pulse config in place for gutsy ...
11:37
thats easy to achieve and would help in your case
11:38
<bricode>
I think there may be a work around..please hold.

Humm.
11:47

indeed if you know that its always exactly the same you can do runtime settings thorough rc.local ...

we'll have scouts look both east and west to watch for your arrival
13:32

it'll be obvious

I'll be hanging out the window of the plane, waving
13:33

13:41
<pscheie>
will DAM cover such things as better network-transparent sound?
13:41
or does Pulse cover that sufficiently already?
13:41
<jammcq>
pscheie: yes, we'll cover that at DAM
13:41* Guaraldo is really bad when want to be... :-D
13:42

seems ironic, that video, which is older, is transparent, but audio is much less so

Wasn't DAM originally organized by Lindows/Linspire?

no

it's actually pretty well documented online
17:28
well i thought it was anyway =p
17:28
edit your lts.conf file and add SOUND = Y
17:29
and apparently you need an ltsp-sound package (if it's not already installed)
17:31
<cliebow>
lns:for 4.2
17:32
5 is another beast altogether
17:43
<lns>
cliebow, is that for the sound package, or both?
17:45
<sutula>
How does one find out which version they are using? (The Debian/Ubuntu package lists diff versions on the packages than the ltsp they end up installing.
18:07
<cliebow>
sutula, yopu may foind a /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/version
18:09
<sutula>
cliebow: Darn...not there...I wasn't paying enough attention to what version the build script went out and grabbed

<cliebow>
how about dpkg -l|grep ltsp-server
18:30
<sutula>
cliebow: 0.99debian11 ....that's the problem...I don't know how to correlate that to 4.2 or 5
18:30* sutula got the source but didn't find obvious clues in the changelog either
18:31
<cliebow>
well it surely is ltsp5
18:34
<sutula>
cliebow: k, I'm haphazardly watching conversation here trying to get clues about how to get sound working, but haven't invested enough time to figure it all out :)
18:36
cliebow: Most of the documentation is for straight ltsp (from the tarball), but I'm trying to stick with the Debian/Ubuntu package for maintainability and so far, sound hasn't "just worked" (on Debian)

22:04
<jammcq>

<sbalneav>
Well, at this point I'm feeling a little overwhelmed
