hello
02:15MoL0ToV has joined #ltsp
02:23
<laurentddd>
during starting of the diskless I have this error message : /etc/rcS.d/S32ltsp-client-setup /usr/sbin/cdpinger. and the same for delayed_mounter. Somebody knows to what that corresponds?
02:23
no such file or directory
02:23
<vagrantc>
laurentddd: what distro?
02:23
<laurentddd>
debian
02:24
lenny and the debian packet in the croot is etch
02:24
<vagrantc>
you need to install ltspfsd into the chroot
02:24
<laurentddd>
sorry my english is bad
02:24
<vagrantc>
it's not so bad so far :)
02:24
<laurentddd>
ltspfsd is in the chroot !
02:24
<vagrantc>
hmmm..
02:25
ah
02:25
dpkg -l --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 ltspfsd
02:26
<laurentddd>
sorry
02:26
Aucun paquet ne correspond à ltspfsd.
02:27
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ apt-get install ltfspd
02:27
thats good ?
02:27
<vagrantc>
if you spell ltspfsd right
02:27
:)
02:27
and install "ltspfs" on the server
02:27
not in the chroot
02:28
<laurentddd>
but your commande dpkg -l --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 ltspfsd, search ltspfsd in the chroot !
02:29
in dont understand
02:29
<vagrantc>
two packages "ltspfs" and "ltspfsd"
02:29
ltspfs gets installed on the server
02:29
ltspfsd gets installed in the chroot
02:30
<laurentddd>
ok
02:32
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ apt-get install ltspfsd dpkg said : Impossible to find the package ltspfsd
02:32* vagrantc stays up late to make calls to distant timezones
02:32
<vagrantc>
laurentddd: it's not in etch
02:33
<laurentddd>
ltspfs_0.4.3+debian2_i386.deb ??
02:34
<vagrantc>
for the server
02:34
in the chroot, you need ltspfsd
02:34
<laurentddd>
sorry
02:35
<vagrantc>
it's ok.
02:35
we should make an upload to backports.org soon
02:41
<laurentddd>

02:46
sorry we didn't get ltspfs into etch
02:46
that would make it easier
02:48
<laurentddd>
it is not serious, essence is to find a solution
02:48

There remains to me a problem to be regulated. Flash 9. When I read a file flash9, the sound is read on the waiter.
03:58
server not waiter . sorry
04:00
<gvy>
laurentddd, you might need to wrap the browser into something like esddsp
04:01
<laurentddd>
# which /dev/dsp wrapper to use
04:01
ICEWEASEL_DSP="esddsp"
04:01
<gvy>

hi
07:27
question is it possible for ltsp for saving a session
07:27
or keeping session
07:28
like this, if i have terminal connected to server and when the terminal suffers power failure, that if i start up the terminal, the server gives me the old session..?
07:28
back.
07:31
<vanya>
it's interesting for me too
07:31
I think freenx should allow this, but I haven't tried yet..
07:32
<marek82>
freenx?
07:32
:P
07:33
ok oky:D google gives all the answers :D
07:35
<vanya>
yes, google is such :)
07:38
<marek82>
its all kind of diffrent program
07:38
i made terminals with using ltsp
07:38
using rpm there.. and modyfing a bit it
07:38
for centos5
07:38

mayby 4.1 or 4.2

07:53
<marek82>
4.2
07:54
<vanya>
gvy, time to create #ltsp-ua ? :)
07:54
<gvy>
vanya, wow :) we're bringing up uafoss (an association for FLOSS developers and users), there's western branch in Lviv
07:54
<cyberorg>
what you want is not possible, freenx can save session, but powerfailure before saving session will not give you old session back
07:54
<gvy>
vanya, well you can mail Vadim Mashkov (adiel nospam kiev.ua, mashckoff gmail com) and meet him there
07:54
vanya, in the mean time we're busy integrating ltsp5 in altlinux :)
07:55
<marek82>
whats the diffenrece between ltsp5 and ltsp4.2?
07:56
<gvy>
good, bad and [3.x] ugly
07:56
tho every one of them worked
07:59
<ogra>
cyberorg, indeed its possible, you just need to teach initramfs how to resume from a swapfile on the server and invent a unique process so the session is bound to a user
08:00
its a matter of design and some scripting :)
08:00
... or some more scripting :)
08:01
<cyberorg>
ogra: or we could just invent RAM which keeps it's state on powerfailure :)
08:01
<ogra>
marek82, ltsp5 is sopposed to be implemented using your distros packages instead of a monolithic tarball like 4.x and former did
08:02
<marek82>
hmm
08:02
i should try yum install ltsp5?:P
08:02
<ogra>
so you can integrate with the distros upgrade tools and just get security updates or easily upgrade to the next version ... can copy configs around between client and server etc
08:02
<marek82>
hmm
08:02
<cyberorg>
ogra: i got tmpfs working using bind_mount function, some rough edges still remaining as i get few permission denied errors, will fix those soon
08:03
<ogra>
cyberorg, ah, great so you got a step further :)
08:03
<marek82>
but session save is not really implemented?
08:03
<ogra>
looks like suse wil become the first distro after ubuntu and debian who has ltsp5 ;)
08:03
good work :)
08:04
<cyberorg>
ogra: long way away, also ldm works, put suse png instead of ubuntu's in theme too ;)
08:04
<ogra>
marek82, no, X is lacking support for something like that ... all you could do is to abuse the hibernate functions in initramfs to use a swapfile on the server, but tats not exactly the same
08:04
<marek82>
ya
08:04
hmm
08:04
<cyberorg>
alt linux has already got it i think
08:04
<ogra>
cyberorg, yeah ldm themeing is easy, isnt it ? ;)
08:05
<cyberorg>
i suck at art too
08:05
<ogra>
cyberorg, i havent gotten *any* code form altlinux yet
08:05
<cyberorg>
i fetched their src rpms to see what they are up to

i know there is wor being done ... but as long as they dont contact upstream its only a fork ...
08:06
there is also work been done in fedora that dies at some point ...
08:07
curious if they will pick up again soon :)
08:07
<cyberorg>
i had a question for you, where does ldm get its SERVER variable from? i have to launch SERVER=serverip ldm vt1 :1
08:07
<IRCzito_home>
ogra: good morning
08:07
<ogra>
hey hey
08:07
<cyberorg>
k12ltsp is fedora based project so they should be doing quite well with ltsp5
08:07
<IRCzito_home>
I have a question and Jim say to me ask to you
08:07
<ogra>
cyberorg, from the initscripts
08:08
<cyberorg>
from which one and how?
08:08
<ogra>
cyberorg, you will also need the screen.d scripts
08:08
grep SERVER debian/*
08:08
;)
08:08
IRCzito_home, shoot then
08:08
<cyberorg>
i thought it got from lts.conf
08:08
<ogra>
(i have to go again soon )
08:09
no it comes from the initscripts ...
08:09
<IRCzito_home>
ogra: im work in slackware root-tree, (is not easy for me :D) , and my ltsp-client-setup script return: the filesystem is read only
08:09
<ogra>
only if you set it in lts.conf it will use that one
08:09
<cyberorg>
so it detects the server and exports the variable?
08:09
it didnt take from lts.conf that is why i asked
08:09
<IRCzito_home>
ogra: what's probably wrong?
08:09
<ogra>
IRCzito_home, indeed it is :) make sure to use the bind_mounts function from the source
08:10
bind_mounts mounts files and dirs it needs in RW mode to a tmpfs
08:10
so make sure that function works properly
08:12
<cyberorg>
IRCzito_home: you can probably use mine http://pastebin.ca/460983
08:13
insserv suse-bind-mounts
08:14
<ogra>
uuh
08:14
you shouldnt comment the bind_unmounts part :)
08:14
<IRCzito_home>
ogra: what is /var/cache/debconf on debian for?
08:14
<ogra>
it will eat all your ram :)
08:14
IRCzito_home, it holds all ifo for all packages
08:14
s/packages/package defaults/
08:15Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp
08:15
<ogra>
in ubuntu/debian its needed to preconfigure the package defaults automatically on boot ... you will need to find something similar in your distro or write somthing yourself
08:15
usually you can do that easily by scripts as well ...
08:16
in debian based systems that just breaks upgradeabilty, so we use debconf there

<cyberorg>
ogra: you mean me? bind_unmount is uncommented
08:19
<ogra>
no, the call to it isnt
08:20
see the if clauses you commented at the bottom :)
08:20
line 158ff
08:22
<cyberorg>
oh yes
08:25
ogra: is glade required by new greeter?
08:26
<IRCzito_home>
ogra: the variable $rw_dirs not have /etc dir. (bind_mounts). How function configure_resolver() write on /etc/hostname?
08:27
<ogra>
cyberorg, nope
08:28
<cyberorg>
cool, that's good news
08:28
<ogra>
IRCzito_home, "bindfiles" should have /etc/hostname
08:29
if you would copy all of /etc into a tmpfs it would eat a lot of memory ... so we have the bindfiles variable that enables single files to be copied into tmpfs
08:29
your /etc/fstab should also be in that ist
08:29

ogra: when you say "everything", which server? esd? alsa?
12:10
<ogra>
feisty added an alsa emulation layer in the users session, so apps use that
12:11
<cyberorg>
tried linking another theme, same result
12:11
<ogra>
which means that really all apps apart from some very old ones that force oss usage will work out of the box and volume control will work
12:11
<sutula>
ogra: When I tried esd (on Debian), esd doesn't seem to run
12:12
<ogra>
sutula, set SOUND=True in lts.conf ...
12:12
<sutula>
I have that
12:12
<ogra>
that will run esd if the client boots
12:12
<sutula>
...on the server or client?
12:12
<ogra>
(on the client indeed)
12:12
you dont need any soundserver on the server
12:13* sutula demonstrates his ignorance :) But the apps run on the server? How do they open sound?
12:13
<ogra>
during login ldm will then set the ESPEAKER variable and esd capable apps will play their output to the server ip/port from that variable
12:13
<sutula>
ahhh
12:14* sutula is guessing that if ESPEAKER is not set, then something didn't start right on the client?
12:14
<ogra>
chec by runing "env" in a terminal in a running X ltsp session
12:14
*check
12:14
ESPEAKER should show up else someting in your ldm is vroken
12:14

12:15
<ogra>
since i work on irc my typing really sucks .. i wonder why ... when i used to tape less per day i was brilliant
12:15
<sutula>
...such as client can't open soundcard or something like that?
12:15
<ogra>
*type :)
12:16
<vagrantc>
ogra: ok, so i think i made arrangements
12:16
ogra: looks like i'll see you in sevilla :)
12:16
<ogra>
sutula, well, the ubuntu udev ususally detects all PCI soundcards and configures them right, no idea about the status of the debian kernel ... but i cant imagine that its much worse there :)
12:17
vagrantc, YAY \o/
12:17* vagrantc wonders about after sevilla
12:17
<sutula>
ogra: Should I be seeing, e.g., /dev/dsp in the client's /dev files? /me was looking at dmesg output last night on several clients
12:17
<ogra>
vagrantc, i rather hope to see you in november in boston then ... on a certain payroll ;)
12:18
sutula, cat /proc/asound/cards i think
12:18
<sutula>
ogra: K
12:18
<ogra>
that should give you anything
12:18
i'm no alsa expert ... luckily that always just works in ubuntu so i normally dont have to care for low level stuff
12:19
<sutula>
ogra: If I get the chance, I'll try to write some of this up (assuming I get it working) for others
12:20
<ogra>
sutula, thats great .... note that everythng changed in the recent version :)

aptitude install ltsp-client fails in ubuntu eft amd64. it complains it can't configure ltspfsd. no idea how to fix it. any suggestion?
12:52
<ogra>
EEK
12:53
dont do that !
12:53
<xlyz>
what?
12:53
<ogra>
apt-cache show ltsp-client ;)
12:53
DO NOT install this package on a regular machine, it is intended only
12:53
for installation inside a LTSP client filesystem.
12:54
<xlyz>
you mean in the chroot?
12:54
<ogra>
the text is from the package description
12:55
<xlyz>
yep
12:55
<ogra>
never ever install ltsp-client with aptitude on the server
12:55
<xlyz>
I did :)
12:55
well, I tried :)
12:55
<ogra>
thats bad
12:55
it has a debconf warning as well
12:56
<xlyz>
I was following some how to
12:56
<ogra>
and actually it should stop the install after showing that
12:56
<sutula>
Good thing is that dpkg is pretty good about removing stuff completely...use --purge
12:56
<xlyz>
infact :)
12:56

<xlyz>
mmmh. it seems that I confused ltsp-build-client and ltsp-client
12:58
<ogra>
make sure to get ltsp-client off your system completely ... same applies to ltspfsd, it shouldnt get installed on a normal system
12:58
<xlyz>
purged ;)
12:58
<ogra>
good
12:58
<xlyz>
shall I install it in the ltsp client chroot?
12:59
<ogra>
ltspfsd modifies fstab on the fly ... which is very evil if you dont have an autogenerated fastab that sits in ram (like thin clients do)
12:59
if you have a client chroot built with ltsp-build-client you dont need to change anything inside it
13:00
<xlyz>
ok
13:00
one more question
13:00
<ogra>
it sets up everything for you so your clients should be able to boot right away
13:00
<xlyz>
they do
13:00
<ogra>
good
13:02
<sutula>
ogra: After initially running ltsp-build-client to create/configure the chroot, is there ever a reason to run it again?
13:02
<ogra>
no
13:02
and in fact ewer versions will refuse to run unless you wipe the old chroot
13:02
*newer
13:02
<sutula>
ogra: Great
13:03
<ogra>
we had a bunch of probs with people trying to run it on an unclean target
13:03
<xlyz>
one more question: how file/directory ownership is handled? especially for pluggable device? I found one of my collegues that can open my usb hd in one of the clients. how can I avoid this?
13:03
<ogra>
thats impossible ...
13:03
did you use the same uid ?
13:03
<xlyz>
no
13:04
<jammcq>
xlyz: are you logged into the server console? or one of the thin clients?
13:04
<ogra>
fuse doesnt even let root look into dirs that are user owned
13:04
<xlyz>
but he was the first to fire up the client this morning
13:04
<ogra>
that doesnt matter
13:04
the ltspfs fuse mounts are done on a per user basis
13:04
<xlyz>
the hd was plugged in the server
13:04
<ogra>
ah
13:05
yes
13:05
<jammcq>
there ya go
13:05
<ogra>
thats intentional
13:05Blinny has quit IRC
13:05

you can disable volume mounting in gnome-volume-manager ... so the user wont see server side mounted devices
13:05Guaraldo has joined #ltsp

ltspfs only operates on thin client HW ...
13:06
and currently works ndependently from gnome-volume-manager

Evening... I have a pretty old laptop with 128 MB RAM, CD-ROM, NIC and harddisk. Can I run it as an ltsp client although the network card is not pxe-capable? I'd like to boot from harddisk but didn't find instructions on that.
14:10
<ogra>
xlyz, half of the installation happens chrooted inside the client chroot ... there is no way to execute ppc binaries on a X86/64 CPU
14:12
<xlyz>
oh, that's why. --arch i386 on a amd64 works, btw
14:14
<ogra>
yeah
14:14
this way its no problem ...
14:14
but --arch amd64 on an i386 would already break
14:14
<xlyz>
yep
14:15
<ogra>
and ppc even has a different byteorder ...
14:15
<xlyz>
but why setting up an i386 as server and a amd64 as client? ;)
14:15
<ogra>
i actually supported one guy who made that
14:15Guaraldo has joined #ltsp

thats how you install a rom-o-matic etherboot image (with PXE emulation to make it even easier) to HD, CD or folppy
14:19

14:19

well if you can get netboot to work there is no reason not to use it :)

14:20
<sutula>
ogra: The floppy and CD images worked on the machines I tried, but I haven't messed with the HD stuff
14:22

well, actually you only need to dd the image to your first HD and set the BIOS to boot from it :)

14:24

ogra: I need to figure out how to avoid losing the Win bootability from the HD, but I'd be a *lot* happier to just tell the users "oops...sorry...can't run Windoze any more"
14:24
<ogra>
make a small partition (50M or so) ... isntall grub and dd your image to the new partition ... then thll grub to dual boot :)
14:25
i know thats rather an advanced task :)
14:25

14:32

germany had ~29°C in some places the last days
14:33
ah, yes

i'm expecting it to just be very nice

can anyone tell me why defining SCREEN_01=ldm and SCREEN_02=shell leads to a non-working keyboard?
15:03
<jammcq>
gu: cuz you'll end up with ldm on both screen 01 AND 07
15:04
<gu>
why?
15:04
<jammcq>
cuz LDM runs on 07 by default
15:04
ogra: didn't you say there's a reason why you need getty running on 01 ?
15:04
<gu>
so I'll have to define SCREEN_07=ldm and SCREEN_01=shell if I want an additional local shell?
