08:58 | sbalneav: I know
| |
08:58 | <jammcq> sbalneav: so, you ready to take a trip?
| |
08:58 | <sbalneav> I am!
| |
08:59 | We still haven't gotten the info from Gatwick to Seville though.
| |
08:59 | We'll have to figure that one out on the fiy
| |
08:59 | As it were
| |
08:59 | <jammcq> sbalneav: I have that info :)
| |
08:59 | <sbalneav> You da man
| |
08:59 | <jammcq> yeah, I emailed Dionne on friday, and she sent me what we need
| |
09:00 | <sbalneav> Dionne Warwick?
| |
09:00 | <jammcq> yeah, that's the one
| |
09:00 | <sbalneav> Music, travel, she does it all.
| |
09:00 | <jammcq> btw, I've seen DW live, in concert :)
| |
09:00 | <sbalneav> Isn't she the one who's into psycics?
| |
09:00 | <jammcq> yeah
| |
09:01 | I saw her before she went nutty
| |
09:01 | <sbalneav> What was the name of her band? 4 pips?
| |
09:01 | <jammcq> noooo
| |
09:01 | that's a different motown band
| |
09:01 | that was Dianna Ross and the Pipps, I think
| |
09:02 | then there's the 'Four Tops'
| |
09:02 | completely different

10:01 | <cliebow_> hey petre
| |
10:01 | <pscheie> hey chuck!
| |
10:01 | <milosz> i want to add support in the greater for choosing the machine... but that's less trivial because right now it's integrated with ldm, i guess if i ran the greeter in process (as a thread) then that could work better
| |
10:05 | <pscheie> jammcq: ping
| |
10:06 | IRCzito has quit IRC | |
10:08 | <jammcq> pscheie: hey
| |
10:10 | <pscheie> I got an inquiry for NCLS from a guy in South Africa, wants to come so he can meet you!
| |
10:10 | <jammcq> heh, who is it?
| |
10:10 | <pscheie> Ed Holcroft, who lives in the US now, told him about it
| |
10:11 | His name is Riaan van Brakel
| |
10:11 | <jammcq> hmm, doesn't ring a bell
| |
10:11 | <pscheie> he took over running NetDay after Ed left
| |
10:11 | <jammcq> he could fly up to spain next week, it'd be way shorter
| |
10:11 | but.... that's his decision
| |
10:11 | <pscheie> He wrote asking for an invitation to put into his visa application
| |
10:12 | I'll tell hime about Spain, although I suspect there's not enough time left by now
| |
10:12 | <jammcq> yeah, he'll need a travel visa to get into the US
| |
10:12 | <pscheie> That's probably what it's for, I'd guess
| |
10:13 | I'm hoping Ed can come, too, although I haven't talked to him since he moved to the US
| |
10:13 | I think he outfitted ~100 poor rural schools in SA with K12LTSP
| |
10:13 | Years ago, they used to use Windows, then found LTSP
| |
10:14 | Went from 4-5 computers per school to 20
| |
10:14 | for the same $$

11:33 | <ogra> jammcq, ed holcroft was invited to sevilla
| |
11:34 | i dont see him on the atendeeds list though, but i know he was on he sponsoring list ... richard might know what happened here
| |
11:34 | <cyberorg> hi jammcq
| |
11:34 | ogra: :)
| |
11:34 | <pscheie> ogra: have you heard from ed recently?

11:35 | <cyberorg> http://dev.beryl-project.org/~cyberorg/suse/29/kiwi-ltsp-pre-alpha-packages/
| |
11:35 | <ogra> pscheie, nope
| |
11:35 | <pscheie> he moved to the US in february, but I haven't heard from him since
| |
11:35 | <ogra> pscheie, all i know is that we put him on the list for sponsorship ...
| |
11:35 | <pscheie> via NetDay?
| |
11:35 | <ogra> nope UDS
| |
11:36 | for net week
| |
11:36 | *next
| |
11:36 | <pscheie> If you see him, tell him to drop me a line; I don't have an email address for him in the US
| |
11:37 | <ogra> i will
| |
11:37 | but as i said, he's not on the attendees list
| |
11:37 | so he might or might not come
| |
11:38 | mhterres has joined #ltsp | |
11:38 | <pscheie> wish I were going to spain; heck, I'm not even working next week
| |
11:38 | well, not working for the man, anyway
| |
11:40 | <vagrantc> ogra: so any specs i should subscribe to?
| |
11:41 | * vagrantc readies an xubuntu install for something GUI for customs to look at | |
11:42 | <ogra> vagrantc, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LdmImprovements, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LtspfsVirtualHalDevices, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LtspBootPerformance and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LtspUpdateManagerIntegration are the ones i registered ...
| |
11:42 | overly important are the performance and the ldm spec
| |
11:42 | <vagrantc> on the first two
| |
11:42 | will add the others shortly
| |
11:42 | <ogra> i will push for both of them to get into the core scedule
| |
11:43 | <vagrantc> ogra: what's the "required" checkbox ?
| |
11:43 | <ogra> we will have two scheduling systems this time so it shold get easier to find free slots
| |
11:43 | thats for people that are required because only they could implement or decide something
| |
11:44 | <vagrantc> ah, so i shouldn't be checking that box, then ...
| |
11:44 | <ogra> right
| |
11:45 | for a spec mark-shuttleworth-portrait-as-default-ldm-theme we'd invite mark and make him essential :)
| |
11:45 | but ese just leave it alone :)
| |
11:45 | *else
| |
11:46 | <vagrantc> so, say one did check the required box ... how would one undo it?
| |
11:49 | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-sevilla list 1 specification ... kind of hard to find the others.
| |
11:51 | <milosz> how much more memory does the python greet use compared to a C one when fully implemented
| |
11:51 | greeter even
| |
11:52 | cause i imagine most of that comes from gtk/gdk/pango/cairo/images not the glue
| |
11:53 | * vagrantc suspects python glue will be memory hungry | |
11:53 | <milosz> but does anyone has concrete numbers vs. just saying hey it's in C so it much be way better
| |
11:54 | <vagrantc> haven't tried the C greeter yet, so no idea really.
| |
11:54 | from what ogra says, it loads *much* faster... he even mentioned numbers at some point
| |
11:54 | <milosz> i mean, python in slower, the garbage collector sucks, but i don't know if the extra complexity really gains us a substantial amount of memory
| |
11:55 | <vagrantc> speed was the goal, not memory
| |
11:55 | <milosz> well 2 seconds in the greeter startup vs. the rest of the boot process is a drop in a bucket
| |
11:55 | <vagrantc> more like 2 minutes in the greeter startup
| |
11:56 | <milosz> ?
| |
11:56 | <vagrantc> the python implementation is real slow
| |
11:56 | <milosz> 2 minutes to pain the inital greeter... that sounds kind of craked out
| |
11:56 | <vagrantc> the greeter alone can take around 2 minutes on some hardware
| |
11:56 | <ogra> milosz, its easier to program safe in python, the threshold is way lower to get contributions to python code
| |
11:56 | <vagrantc> jammcq and ogra have done more work on those issues
| |
11:57 | <ogra> the C greeter starts here in 6 secs ... vs the python greeter that needs 15
| |
11:58 | (stopwatched from seeing the X to having the login window ...)
| |
11:58 | * vagrantc wonders if it would be possible for a speedier python implementation | |
11:58 | <ogra> its not *significantly* faster ...
| |
11:58 | <milosz> in intrest of full disclosure, my state is in not having the greeter stay in python because i'm working on moving the greeter bits to be a thread of ldm... so that way i can have ldm be integrated with my automagic load balancing... i can have trivial user overrides of servers (since they get an option of picking one then) and also being able to pass messages to the greater like... all servers are down, etc
| |
11:59 | ogra: that sounds more reasonable then 2 minutes i heared
| |
11:59 | <ogra> ldm never needed two minutes unless you had a kernel bug or something
| |
11:59 | or only 32M
| |
12:00 | jernst has joined #ltsp | |
12:00 | <ogra> 2min sounds like a complete bootprocess on a very low specced client ..
| |
12:00 | * vagrantc forgets where 2 minutes came from | |
12:00 | * vagrantc looks for jammcq's web page on all the speed stuff | |
12:00 | <ogra> we were down to 90 secs ... during feisty it rather bumped to 100 again ...
| |
12:01 | <milosz> to be honest in our depolyment we bought the x clients from jim and we're not so concerned about the lower end people, but we want redundancy and load balancing which i'm working on
| |
12:01 | <ogra> vagrantc, thats for the e2300 and surely based on a kernel problem
| |
12:01 | <vagrantc> ogra: yeah.
| |
12:01 | <ogra> there are numbes like 240secs for a normal boot :)
| |
12:01 | *numbers
| |
12:02 | i even get a PII with 64M booting faster over here
| |
12:02 | <milosz> bootspeed is kind of slow... but it's not a big issue for us, and i'll be breaking of those anyways... atempting to linux bios it
| |
12:02 | <ogra> we'll have to look into that during the ltsp profiling session
| |
12:02 | SBNet has joined #ltsp | |
12:02 | <ogra> milosz, i'm not sure you want threading with SSH_ASKPASS set ...
| |
12:03 | using python for the wrapper had its reasons :)
| |
12:03 | <vagrantc> ogra: so ... the ldm improvements spec seems kind of broad ... is that a good thing, or a bad one?
| |
12:03 | <ogra> using python for the greeter was just laziness though ...
| |
12:03 | vagrantc, keeping them broad is good to get them approved but indeed leaves some implementation details open ...
| |
12:04 | for the initial spec thats sufficient though, we're supposed to work out details during the BOFS
| |
12:05 | vagrantc, you are coming on wednesday as well, right ?
| |
12:05 | beacuse then that should be intresting as well :) https://launchpad.net/sprints/ues-sevilla-2007
| |
12:05 | <milosz> well to be honest i'd like a better sollution for lb both ldm and regular X (non encrypted) but this was the best solution... for us to be able to depoly it this summer time
| |
12:05 | <vagrantc> ogra: i arrive may 2nd
| |
12:05 | <milosz> since right now we have 2 machines that server out think clients and within 2 months we'll have 3 more
| |
12:06 | <ogra> yeah, so you will be there for UES as well
| |
12:06 | milosz, autodetection is on my todo since quite some time so we can get a serverlist ...
| |
12:06 | <kaminski-ltsp-br> where can I find the TCM ?
| |
12:06 | <milosz> well the code is 95% way there already
| |
12:07 | <ogra> ldminfod should be helpful here so we dont have all sshd's in the et on the list ... or a proper avahi integration
| |
12:07 | <milosz> http://ltsp.mindtouchsoftware.com/ltsp-loadbalance/
| |
12:07 | <vagrantc> ogra: but you'll still need entries in ssh_known_hosts
| |
12:07 | <ogra> i wont support anything that lets the user plainly choose and abuse the client for hacking into other ssh servers or smething, it needs to be controlled by the admin or automated
| |
12:07 | vagrantc, indeed
| |
12:08 | <kaminski-ltsp-br> jammcq: hi jim. where can I find the tcm?
| |
12:08 | <jammcq> tcm? it's in Ubuntu
| |
12:08 | <ogra> kaminski-ltsp-br, ask in #edubuntu (look for cbx33)
| |
12:08 | * vagrantc thinks anything in ssh_known_hosts should be listed as an option, and leave it at that | |
12:08 | <kaminski-ltsp-br> jammcq: ok thanks
| |
12:08 | ogra: ok thanks
| |
12:08 | <milosz> ogra: everything is controlled by the admin
| |
12:08 | <kaminski-ltsp-br> I'm using debian
| |
12:09 | <ogra> vagrantc, yeah, something like that ... i#d lie to have an easy gui though so he admin just needs to check checkboxes or so
| |
12:09 | milosz, ok, i just want to prevent to have people sending me patches that do a portscan over the complete network on port 22 or something :)
| |
12:10 | <milosz> ogra: on each of the servers there's a daemon that "advertises" basicaly anyone who connects can get an xml file with server stats, like numer of processors, memory used, load (port can be customized)
| |
12:10 | <ogra> the most beautiful thing would really be to have proper avahi integration all over the place for all buts :)
| |
12:10 | *bits
| |
12:10 | that sounds like ldminfod
| |
12:10 | did you look at it ...
| |
12:11 | <milosz> nope
| |
12:11 | <ogra> apart from using plain text instaed of making it complicated through xml it provides info about sessions and locales atm
| |
12:12 | <milosz> the client bits are integrated into ldm, it picks it "constantly" pegs the server (every 5 secs) to see which one is the best one, as soon as a user puts their username and password into ldm it already knows which one is the best one and usses that one
| |
12:12 | <ogra> for gutsy i want to get a timestamp as well so ldm can adjust the clock without having to have an ntp server
| |
12:12 | ugh
| |
12:13 | i hope you made that optional ? i dont want my ldm's pinging around all the time
| |
12:13 | <milosz> yeah
| |
12:13 | everything is optional
| |
12:13 | <ogra> ldminfod is closely coupled to the gui parts ...
| |
12:13 | it will only send an request is thats really needed
| |
12:14 | <milosz> and the servers to pick from are hard coded by the admin in the nfs root
| |
12:14 | <ogra> i.e. if you select the locale, it will only send the request ruing window generation of the popup
| |
12:14 | <milosz> so they won't ping random machines, just that one that are thin client servers
| |
12:14 | and that ping threshold is adjustable
| |
12:14 | <ogra> could you make it only do the selection after the login data is submitted ?
| |
12:14 | that prevents constant network traffic
| |
12:15 | (i.e. afetr the user hits enter(
| |
12:15 | )
| |
12:15 | <milosz> it's possible... but this way it's instant
| |
12:15 | <ogra> its pertty noisy and keeps your clients busy
| |
12:15 | *pretty
| |
12:16 | <milosz> and i figured that getting 512 bytes over thenetwork every 30 seconds... at least in our scenario is non issue
| |
12:16 | <ogra> dont forget the low end for clients is around 300Mhz and 48M ram
| |
12:16 | ldm needs to run on them easily
| |
12:17 | <milosz> well i'm sure it needs a lot of work from hereo on, i'm just saying the first itteration is 95% done
| |
12:17 | <ogra> great :)
| |
12:17 | <milosz> the code is generic enought that we could make it only check on login
| |
12:17 | and most of it non invasisve being in a seprate file (module)
| |
12:18 | <ogra> please dont get me wrong if i sound like a moron and seem to diss your code :) its just for quality, ask vagrantc i usually agree in the end :)
| |
12:19 | <milosz> well take a look at it then we can disuss whatever needs to be done to satisfy your end
| |
12:20 | <ogra> well, on demand tarffic wuld be much preferred ... i'll look into the code and make suggestions ...
| |
12:20 | <milosz> some of the python might be funny since I prefer other languages to program in C & mono (C#) but if figured python would be the best way to get it upstream
| |
12:21 | yeah i can make it on demand by default... but with an option to scan
| |
12:21 | <ogra> on the greeter side https://code.launchpad.net/~ogra/ltsp/ldm-greeter should become our base for te oct. release ...
| |
12:22 | <milosz> we get so much cifs scans / nfs / spt traffic where for us it be a drop in the bucket
| |
12:22 | <ogra> so if you hacked the greeter itself we'll need to move the code or rewrite it in C
| |
12:22 | <milosz> no right now there are no changes to the greeter
| |
12:22 | <ogra> well, optional scanning sounds perfect
| |
12:22 | ah, cool
| |
12:22 | <milosz> they get totaly autopicked
| |
12:23 | for our scenario it's not really needed... althought i plan on adding it later
| |
12:23 | <ogra> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LdmImprovements <- would you mind adding a note about that feature here ?
| |
12:23 | then we'll do an official code review during the BOF ;)
| |
12:24 | cyberorg has left #ltsp | |
12:24 | <milosz> althought now that the greeter is in C I can't use the python code for finding the servers
| |
12:24 | <ogra> why ?
| |
12:24 | the greeter is only the part of the app that runs as gtk binary
| |
12:25 | the pythn wrapper that cals the greeter is still there and wont go away that fast
| |
12:25 | s/fast/soon/
| |
12:26 | <milosz> right, well i'd like to add an optional gtk window to the greeter that lists all the servers and their stat so the user can override the default
| |
12:26 | and i'd if the user opens the window i'd like the window to update it self, oh I don't know every 30 seconds
| |
12:26 | <ogra> (the /usr/sbin/ldm binary <- python (will stay), /usr/lib/ltsp/greeters/gtk <- now gnomecanvas, soon C
| |
12:26 | )
| |
12:26 | <jernst> hi, what's the correct way to clean up user process on the ltsp server after logout (or before login). I keep having to kill libbonobo and evolution-data-server processes
| |
12:26 | <milosz> right
| |
12:27 | <ogra> well having another popup in the greeter is ine extra function ... that trivial ...
| |
12:27 | in C *and* python ;)
| |
12:27 | s/ine/one/
| |
12:28 | updating the window while its shown is fine ...
| |
12:28 | <milosz> ogra: right... but then from the C app I cannot use the code that i already wrote in python unless I a) use ipc b) have some kind of app that returns to std out the current stats
| |
12:28 | where if the greeter was in python i could just source the serverpicker and i'd be good to go for the most part
| |
12:30 | ltsppbot has quit IRC | |
12:30 | <ogra> well, you could still call the python window from the C app ... even though thats ugly it would work
| |
12:30 | jammcq has quit IRC | |
12:30 | <milosz> at that point i'd rather ipc to the ldm process and ask it
| |
12:31 | since posix message queues one way in both python and C would be trivial
| |
12:31 | <ogra> we can keep the python greeter around for a while if you want ... as an optional thing ...
| |
12:32 | ltsppbot has joined #ltsp | |
12:32 | <milosz> well, i guess... it's not a big deal as long as we could come to a concencus on the best way of doing interop between two is
| |
12:32 | <ogra> the spec we're planning for the conference shoula also cover usage of different guis (i.e. a qt frontend) the python greeter can still stay an option even if we default to the C one :)
| |
12:33 | *should
| |
12:33 | <milosz> i mean if you'd be fine with me adding posix message queues to ldm to export stats and the C greeter to get a list of servers and their stats... i'd be fine with that
| |
12:33 | <ogra> sure
| |
12:34 | <milosz> it'd be more elegant then having a seprate picker window in python called from C
| |
12:34 | <ogra> i just point out the immense amount of opportunities we have ;)
| |
12:34 | IRCzito has joined #ltsp | |
12:34 | jammcq has joined #ltsp | |
12:34 | <milosz> right, in this case the qt chooser could use the same generic facilities as the C one
| |
12:34 | <ogra> you could even write a completely new greeter ;)
| |
12:34 | <milosz> c/gtk one
| |
12:34 | <ogra> right
| |
12:35 | <milosz> okay, i'm find with that
| |
12:35 | <ogra> we should define at least the basice of an API with the spec
| |
12:35 | <milosz> fine
| |
12:35 | <ogra> *basics
| |
12:35 | <vagrantc> ogra: would internationalizing ldm fit into the ldm improvements specs ?
| |
12:35 | ogra: that's a feature i see regularly.
| |
12:35 | feature request
| |
12:36 | <ogra> vagrantc, look at the new C code :)
| |
12:36 | already in ;)
| |
12:36 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
12:36 | <milosz> i also started some work on making ldm more generic (eg being able to run it from your box for testing how it works without booting a thin client)
| |
12:36 | <vagrantc> if we could run LDM in a Xephyr/Xnest instance ... that would be handy.
| |
12:37 | <ogra> milosz, "An often requested feature is to run ldm outside of ltsp environments as standalone fullscreen ssh client, proper initscripts and necessary changes should get implemented."
| |
12:37 | from the spec proposal ;)
| |
12:37 | <milosz> but that's all shelved in bzr right now, since i'd like to see where the current code stands, fix outstanding issues, merge it
| |
12:37 | well mine is a "hack" right now that uses Xnest... that i did it for testing for my self... but it could be made into a real solution
| |
12:37 | <ogra> i think (even i still dont like the ide) its time to split the source into a separate sourcepackage
| |
12:38 | *idea
| |
12:38 | <milosz> but i'm not too concered with this right now... i'm more worried about the load balancing
| |
12:38 | <ogra> it will get an option in /etc/default/ldm and an initscript
| |
12:39 | <vagrantc> remember to properly implement "Pax Displayicus Managerius"
| |
12:39 | <ogra> pam ?
| |
12:39 | well
| |
12:39 | <vagrantc> no
| |
12:40 | http://bugs.debian.org/267198
| |
12:40 | for sdm ... but it applies to all display managers
| |
12:40 | <milosz> my only other wish would be to have secure login (with ldm) but have the X stuff be non compressed / non encrypted
| |
12:40 | <ogra> meh ...
| |
12:40 | i was happy we didnt need it yet
| |
12:40 | <vagrantc> no compression is pretty easy, there's a bugfix for that in the debian bts
| |
12:40 | <ogra> we'll need to redo the screen.d scripts then
| |
12:41 | <milosz> since we do a lot of cad apps... and any speed up we get is great
| |
12:41 | <ogra> no compression is used by default
| |
12:41 | <vagrantc> ogra: well, if we do it from a screen script, it's no worry. but implementing as a stand-alone daemon
| |
12:41 | <ogra> unless the code changed without me noticing
| |
12:41 | <vagrantc> ah, it's one of those stupid false=true bugs
| |
12:42 | <ogra> vagrantc, ltsp-client doesnt run if default-display-manager exists
| |
12:42 | <vagrantc> default is no compression, but setting to false enables it
| |
12:42 | <ogra> the screen scripts need an overhaul
| |
12:42 | <vagrantc> ogra: sure
| |
12:42 | <ogra> right, old bug
| |
12:42 | there is a fix in LP since a week before release or so ...
| |
12:42 | <vagrantc> it should use get_boolean or whatever it's called
| |
12:43 | <ogra> i couldnt commit it anymore
| |
12:43 | yeah
| |
12:44 | <milosz> ogra: i'll keep working on this, and once you review the current work email me: mtanski@gmail.com
| |
12:44 | * ogra notes that down | |
12:45 | <ogra> we'll look into it in the BOF sessions in sevilla ...
| |
12:45 | <milosz> when is that?
| |
12:45 | <vagrantc> next week
| |
12:45 | well, actually, parts of it are starting in ... 2-3 days
| |
12:45 | mhterres has quit IRC | |
12:46 | <milosz> i'm starting a new job starting next week, so i might be unavailble for 2 weeks or so
| |
12:47 | i'll fill in the wiki before that stuff goes down
| |
12:47 | <ogra> yeah, that would be great ... with a link to the bzr tree
| |
12:47 | if its written in the spec it has to get implemented ;)
| |
12:47 | policy :)
| |
12:48 | s/spec/approved spec/
| |
12:48 | :)
| |
12:51 | milosz, UDS, where we will do the technical stuff goes from Sunday 6th to Friday 11th May 2007 ... if you subscribe to the spec wikipage you can monitor the changes it goes thruogh while we work on it ;)

| |
12:52 | <MrNobody> hi everyone. I am trying to install LTSP 3.0 in my red hat 9.0 as a school project can anyone help me abit... :)
| |
12:53 | <vagrantc> start of with a more recent version of ltsp :)
| |
12:53 | <MrNobody> I would like to *but* the teacher said it MUST be ver 3.0 or else it will not be valid as a project :(
| |
12:54 | <ogra> tell him that 3.0 is totally obsolete and unsupported
| |
12:55 | the last release done in the fashion 3.0 was is 4.2, you should use at least this version ...
| |
12:56 | <MrNobody> we tried but the answer is that we will have so much troubles configuring ver 3.0 so we will have to learn it pretty well
| |
12:56 | and of course every time we ask him any question about it he says. dont ask me ask google! damm I hate that guy ....
| |
12:57 | so this is my last resource....
| |
12:57 | <ogra> well, we are all working on 5.0 ...
| |
12:57 | <jammcq> LTSP-4.2 should install very easily on RH9
| |
12:57 | <ogra> i dont even know how exactly 3.0 looked like :)
| |
12:57 | <jammcq> but why would he be wanting RH9 ?
| |
12:58 | that's like what..... 5 yrs old
| |
12:58 | <ogra> and surely unsupported as well ...
| |
12:58 | <Lumiere> rh9 has been unsupported for years
| |
12:58 | <ogra> no security updates ... fun :=
| |
12:58 | :)
| |
12:59 | <pscheie> I'm typing this on my RH8/K12LTSP 3.0.1 box as we speak, so to speak
| |
12:59 | :-)
| |
12:59 | <ogra> and likels 2.2 or 2.4 kernel all over the place
| |
12:59 | <Lumiere> ok pscheie meet MrNobody
| |
12:59 | <sbalneav> pscheie: What's you IP address? :)
| |
12:59 | <Lumiere> MrNobody... meet pscheie
| |
12:59 | lol
| |
12:59 | <MrNobody> actually I had fedora core 6 running but LTSP 3.0 wont install in it so I had to downgrade to RH9
| |
12:59 | <pscheie> sbalneav: my public addy?
| |
12:59 | <Lumiere> 207-250-245-21.static.twtelecom.net <_<
| |
12:59 | <sbalneav> Joke. Didn't really want it.
| |
12:59 | <pscheie> why, would you like to telnet into my box?;-)
| |
13:00 | <sbalneav> :)
| |
13:00 | <MrNobody> actually it doesn have to be red hat
| |
13:00 | can you recommend me another distro for trying?
| |
13:00 | <ogra> heh, ubuntu and ltsp5 *g*
| |
13:00 | <pscheie> what's the objective? just to get a working ltsp server that's running ver. 3?
| |
13:00 | <Lumiere> is the dapper drake ltsp5?
| |
13:00 | <ogra> but that wont teach you anything :)
| |
13:01 | <sbalneav> Better solution would be to provide us with the email of your prof, so we can convince him that LTSP 3.0 isn't a good thing to base an assignment on.
| |
13:01 | :)
| |
13:01 | <Lumiere> lol jammcq sending an email to the prof
| |
13:01 | <ogra> yeah, he should rather make you implement ltsp5 into recent fedora ;)
| |
13:01 | <Lumiere> I'd be laughing so hard
| |
13:01 | <sbalneav> Certain members of the LTSP aristocracy have been known to email high ranking government officials out of the blue!
| |
13:01 | <ogra> now that would be a nice school project :)
| |
13:02 | <sbalneav> With good results, I might add!
| |
13:02 | Oooh, that WOULD be a good project.
| |
13:02 | <pscheie> if he's going to make you work, do things the hard way, at least it should be something that furthers science
| |
13:02 | ltsp science in this case
| |
13:02 | <sbalneav> Step this way, MrNobody, my lad, we have some work for you to do. Muahahahaha
| |
13:03 | <ogra> heh
| |
13:03 | <pscheie> we need more profs on this list, to hand out ltsp subprojects as grad student projects
| |
13:03 | <sbalneav> MrNobody: short answer: LTSP authors told you LTSP 3.0 == Bad, LTSP 4.2 == Better, LTSP 5.0 == BEST
| |
13:04 | <MrNobody> ha ha ha ha
| |
13:05 | <pscheie> requiring ltsp 3.0 would be akin to requiring the use of thicknet ethernet
| |
13:05 | <MrNobody> I will give you the teachers mail in just a moment :)
| |
13:05 | <pscheie> it's old tech that nobody uses and has no future
| |
13:06 | <MrNobody> I feel the same way but I need a good grade.
| |
13:06 | <pscheie> I'm curious as to why he's requiring such old software, both OS and LTSP
| |
13:06 | <MrNobody> I think he make us use ver 3.0 since that is the version he has running and doesnt want to bother in upgrading to newer versions...
| |
13:07 | he did not specify an OS I just picked RH9 looking in the install scripts of ltsp and I checked that RH9 has a script for it... thats it
| |
13:08 | <pscheie> he should make you do the upgrade of his system for the assignment; that would be a worthwhile project
| |
13:08 | <MrNobody> yeah
| |
13:09 | <pscheie> make you document the problems--and you'd have a few, no doubt--and solutions, and post the whole thing to the ltsp wiki for peer review

13:42 | <mhterres> Hey cliebow_. Where are you from ?
| |
13:42 | <pscheie> cliebow is a lobster
| |
13:43 | IOW, from Maine
| |
13:43 | <mhterres> hmmm, US, great
| |
13:43 | I was wondering that maybe we can do a mini LTSP conference in fisl9.0
| |
13:43 | How about it guys ? jammcq, sbalneav, ogra, cliebow_ ?
| |
13:43 | :-)
| |
13:43 | <ogra> germany ...
| |
13:44 | but its likely tat canonical migth sponsor next FISL for me ...no promises though
| |
13:44 | <pscheie> what's FISL?
| |
13:45 | <mhterres> International Free Software Forum , in Brazil
| |
13:46 | <cliebow_> fisl9.0 in the Spring?
| |
13:46 | <mhterres> is in April
| |
13:47 | <cliebow_> Malt Beer..Red Meat off the bone!
| |
13:47 | <ogra> hmm,that migt clash with work for me ...
| |
13:48 | we usually have our release in april ...i will have to do iso tests half the april
| |
13:48 | <cliebow_> mhterres: you like lobster? wanna come up in the FAll?
| |
13:51 | Thunder has left #ltsp | |
13:52 | <mhterres> ogra, it is true
| |
13:52 | cliebow_ I never eat lobster
| |
13:53 | * cliebow_ jammcq eats lobster 8~) | |
13:54 | <sbalneav> ogra: You totally need to come to FISL
| |
13:54 | <ogra> sbalneav, well,bad timing, really
| |
13:55 | i cant vanish to a place without bandwidth short before a release
| |
13:55 | even though i should have help until april 08 :)
| |
13:56 | <jammcq> ogra: but.... you might be in luck. there was talk of the spring release being a LTS release, which might mean it'll release in June instead of April
| |
13:56 | <ogra> so who knows, i probably could ...
| |
13:56 | <jammcq> Mark said he wished he'd allocated more months from the beginning
| |
13:56 | <ogra> hmm, another LTS ...
| |
13:56 | :/
| |
13:57 | <jammcq> you say that, like you don't like LTS releases
| |
13:57 | * jammcq likes them | |

13:57 | <ogra> jammcq, just imagine you would still have to fully support ltsp 3.0 ;)
| |
13:58 | <mhterres> heheeh
| |
13:58 | <jammcq> point taken
| |
14:01 | <cliebow_> supporting ltsp3 while building lbe 8~)
| |
14:01 | <ogra> heh
| |
14:02 | <cliebow_> oh wait..he already did that.....
| |
14:07 | <joebaker> You all have a great sense of humor. Hey I hate to bug you all again. But where are the instructions for installing LTSP with Ubuntu 7.04?
| |
14:07 | <sbalneav> pscheie, jammcq, check this out
| |
14:07 | <ltsppbot> "sbalneav" pasted "Letter for MrNobody" (47 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/112
| |
14:08 | <ogra> joebaker, they didnt change https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
| |
14:08 | <joebaker> Thanks
| |
14:10 | <cliebow_> sbalneav:looks just great..
| |
14:10 | <sbalneav> pscheie: ping
| |
14:18 | <pscheie> sbalneav: pong
| |
14:19 | <sbalneav> pscheie: See my paste?
| |
14:19 | pastebot.ltsp.org/112
| |
14:19 | <pscheie> reading it now...
| |
14:21 | Looks good, aside from the sentence "...however, there's lots of Linux distros
| |
14:21 | that there's currently no native support for LTSP in."
| |
14:21 | seems a bit...clumsy, grammatically
| |
14:22 | <sbalneav> Heh
| |
14:22 | corn13read has joined #ltsp | |
14:22 | <pscheie> how about "...however, several Linux distros do not yet have native support for LTSP."
| |
14:23 | or "built-in support for LTSP."
| |
14:23 | <sbalneav> Probably be better, but since it was already sent :)
| |
14:23 | The clumsy will have to do :)
| |
14:23 | <cliebow_> sbalneav: you might add we could possibly conjure up some expert help for them too..
| |
14:23 | <pscheie> hey, I'm a firm believer in locking the barn after the horse is gone.
| |
14:24 | <cliebow_> maybe..
| |
14:24 | <sbalneav> I tend to write the way I speak. And half the time, I'm not really sure where the sentence is going 'till I get to the end :)
| |
14:24 | <cliebow_> you are at the end precisely when you mean to though
| |
14:24 | <pscheie> I'm hoping to get Hennepin Tech, our host for NCLS, to start a program in which students have to help a school to graduate
| |
14:25 | preferably, help the schools implement ltsp
| |
14:25 | <cliebow_> /are/arrive
| |
14:25 | <pscheie> seems like a real win-win arrangement
| |
14:25 | <sbalneav> Well, we'll see what s/he says. It's got the potential to not only give kids a good into to some cool tech stuff, but also make a real contribution to Free Software. Win/Win all around, i'd say.
| |
14:26 | Exactly
| |
14:26 | <cliebow_> lets hope he runs with it..
| |
14:26 | <sbalneav> That's the beauty of Free Software: getting involved only takes gumption.
| |
14:26 | <pscheie> You'd think that would be obvious
| |
14:27 | I'm always surprised by educators who don't see that, who think only in terms of commercial products
| |
14:28 | but perhaps it's just a geek's insight
| |
14:28 | corn13read has quit IRC | |
14:28 | <sbalneav> Most people I run into have a hard time wrapping their minds around the concept that the COMPUTER is somehow physically separate from the SOFTWARE you run on it. I.e. "If it's a computer, it must run windows. If it doesn't run windows, it's not a computer."
| |
14:29 | I've bumped into lots of people who's minds are blown by Mac's

14:30 | <sbalneav> Gotta give credit where it's due. Microsoft markets so well, some people don't even KNOW there's anything else.
| |
14:30 | <pscheie> Marketing has always been MS's real strength
| |
14:31 | <cliebow_> I must give Mac credit for some otheir adverts..
| |
14:31 | i chuckle seeing the windows guy bloated..
| |
14:32 | <sbalneav> I like the new one, with the "Fatal Error" on the bottom of the cart.
| |
14:32 | <pscheie> I wish the Novell ads with the Linux girl were more clever
| |
14:32 | <sbalneav> "he's a goner"
| |
14:33 | <pscheie> 'course, I don't really watch tv, and I'm sure I'm not the target market
| |
14:33 | <joebaker> sbalneav: Nice letter. You might mention that 5.0 is being used in production by many.
| |
14:33 | The principles of LTSP are well understood. In LTSP 5.0 there is more of a focus on supporting these principles more directly.
| |
14:33 | Saving the LTSP developer's time by offloading the packages.
| |
14:33 | In short, the students would come out with a more focused assignment of learning the true elegance of the supporting infrastructure...
| |
14:34 | <pscheie> not to mention bona-fide resume fodder
| |
14:35 | EXPERIENCE: Developed mousetrap package for inclusion in LTSP 7, which is distributed around the world"
| |
14:35 | <joebaker> You know though that marketing giants are easy targets for spoofs. The Microsoft Butterfly. Since that Businessweek ad with the Penguin with the flyswatter have you seen the Microsoft butterfly much anymore?
| |
14:36 | <pscheie> Didn't OOo used to use a butterfly years ago? Perhaps in early StarOffice days?
| |
14:37 | <cliebow_> yep
| |
14:37 | <joebaker> Intel with their colored clean room suits with the guys dancing. Somebody spoofed that and it foiled their ad campaign. I forgot what the spoof was. There should be a team that does nothing but attacking Microsoft ad campaigns.

15:12 | <corn13read> is there a way to get beryl working on my thin clients if they are all the same?
| |
15:13 | <ogra> for compsite you need direct HW access ... so beryl would have to run locally
| |
15:16 | <corn13read> so there is no way to tell the configuration what my hw is and it talk to it? I would have to have hdd's in each system? they are all thinkpad t20's
| |
15:17 | <ogra> you could try a homebrewed fat client solution with ltsp5
| |
15:18 | <corn13read> sounds complicated...
| |
15:18 | <ogra> (install a desktop in the client chroot and boot the full system as nfsroot, that will need /home mounting from the server and something like ldap))
| |
15:21 | <corn13read> well I take it you really know what you are talking about. I am a local tech that has been a windows admin for a real estate company doing windows stuff. A partner in the firm has heard great things about open source and they told me to get it done... so i'm a linux babe. looks like i'm going to get my hands dirty. is there somewhere I can research what you just said or can you give me a quick vocabulary update?

| |
15:26 | 1) Go to ubuntu.com
| |
15:26 | 2) Download the latest Ubuntu, nicknamed Feisty Fawn
| |
15:26 | <corn13read> ok
| |
15:26 | <sbalneav> 3) burn to CD.
| |
15:27 | 4) Install
| |
15:27 | 5) Profit!
| |
15:27 | As well, check out Debian, too.
| |
15:27 | <corn13read> i've already got edubuntu installed with ltsp running and beryl installed on it and my thin client network up and running
| |
15:27 | <sbalneav> Well, there you go.
| |
15:27 | <PMantis> Beryl on a thin client??
| |
15:27 | <sbalneav> You're already at step 5. :)

| |
15:28 | <sbalneav> Hello PMantis

15:37 | I have it on my laptop, and it great there.

18:09 | <BucWheat> hi all
| |
18:10 | my thin clients can't access the internet via mozilla. when i open xterm i can ping www.yahoo.com but when i put www.yahoo.com in mozilla i get page not found
| |
18:10 | what would cause this?
| |
18:10 | i'm running debian sarge
| |
18:13 | nyone here?
| |
18:16 | <cliebow> hmm..option routers
| |
18:16 | like defining gateway for tihns
| |
18:17 | ..was thinking rdesktop..forget it
| |
18:20 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
18:23 | <BucWheat> let me look in dhcp.conf file
| |
18:24 | i have option routers pointing to the ltsp server which is 192.168.2.50 should that be the ip address of the router?
| |
18:24 | fernando1 has quit IRC | |
18:31 | <vagrantc> BucWheat: that shouldn't matter for the most part.
| |
18:31 | BucWheat: do you have a proxy on the network?
| |
18:31 | BucWheat: if you can ping a site, but aren't able to use a web browser to go to it ... either a proxy is in the way or maybe some weird firewalling
| |
18:33 | <BucWheat> vagrantc: no proxy. this is how the network is configured
| |
18:34 | WAN Provider->Router->Router w/ 4-port switch->clients
| |
18:34 | <vagrantc> where's the LTSP server?
| |
18:34 | <BucWheat> the first router gives off ip address of 192.168.254.0 and the second router gives off ip addresses of 192.168.2.0
| |
18:34 | behind the last router
| |
18:34 | <vagrantc> so is it really router -> LTSP server -< clients ?
| |
18:34 | <BucWheat> i was trying to implement a hacked up vlan to separate this environment from the rest of the shop using the wan
| |
18:35 | no wan->router 1->router 2->LTSP server->clients
| |
18:35 | <vagrantc> yeah
| |
18:36 | BucWheat: can you get to other web sites? can you use a text based web browser like lynx or links ?
| |
18:36 | <BucWheat> vagrantc: no
| |
18:37 | fernando1 has joined #ltsp | |
18:37 | <vagrantc> BucWheat: can other machines plugged into router2 access the web ?
| |
18:38 | BucWheat: and did you know that debian etch was released a few weeks ago ? :)
| |
18:39 | <BucWheat> yea i'm on a windows box now accessing the internet plugged into router 2
| |
18:40 | vagrantc: is there a way to check dhcp leases from ltsp client?
| |
18:40 | <vagrantc> BucWheat: are you running mozilla locally?
| |
18:41 | <BucWheat> to make sure clients accessing ltsp dhcp server and not router dhcp server?
| |
18:41 | vagrantc: nah just on server
| |
18:41 | <vagrantc> well, if they're accessing the router's dhcp server, you wouldn't even be able to boot.
| |
18:41 | <BucWheat> well i know i made changes to router (reset it) and never rebooted the servers
| |
18:42 | <vagrantc> or sometimes you would be able to boot, and sometimes not
| |
18:42 | <BucWheat> how can i check dhcp leases in debian?
| |
18:42 | <vagrantc> /var/lib/dhcp3
| |
18:42 | or /var/lib/dhcp
| |
18:43 | <BucWheat> ah ha! i have nothing in there. not a one thin client
| |
18:43 | <vagrantc> if the thin clients sucessfully boot and log in, dhcp is not your problem.
| |
18:43 | <BucWheat> i should have the dhcp server in front of the ltsp server turned off right?
| |
18:43 | let me reboot one of the thin clients and see if it tries to pull its ip from thin client or router
| |
18:43 | <vagrantc> BucWheat: you have the clients plugged into router2 ?
| |
18:44 | <BucWheat> vagrantc: right. let me go check to make sure though
| |
18:44 | <vagrantc> yeah, the simplest thing would be to configure your dhcp server on the LTSP server, and disable dhcp on the router.
| |
18:45 | two dhcp servers on the same physical network is madness.
| |
18:48 | corn13read has joined #ltsp | |
18:49 | <corn13read> I just reinstalled my server and now my clients don't pull ip's. My syslog says it releases an ip but it never goes beyond that point... anyone got any ideas?
| |
18:49 | petre has joined #ltsp | |
18:49 | <BucWheat> vagrantc: i'm gong to disable the dhcp server on router now
| |
18:50 | and then reboot thin client. the client can connect to ltsp server with router 2 dhcp up but i think that is causing the problem somehoe
| |
18:51 | <vagrantc> i mean, if you can configure the router's dhcp server properly, it should work fine.
| |
18:51 | but they tend not to be very flexible or poorly documented.
| |
18:52 | <BucWheat> dhcp server on router 2 disabled. rebooting thin client now

19:11 | BucWheat has joined #ltsp | |
19:11 | <BucWheat> vagrantc, no dice
| |
19:11 | i started dhcp3 service on ltsp server and widows boxes can't get an ip address from it
| |
19:12 | what would casue this?
| |
19:12 | <vagrantc> there's some special options needed for windows machines.
| |
19:12 | do the thin-clients work now?
| |
19:13 | * vagrantc wonders when jammcq and scotty arrive | |
19:14 | <BucWheat> let me reboot one and see. got side tracked
| |
19:19 | still no dice
| |
19:20 | no internet access from thin clients
| |
19:20 | still no leases in leases file
| |
19:22 | now i do have an /etc/dhcp.conf as well as /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf
| |
19:23 | sould i delete the first dhcp.conf ?
| |
19:24 | vagrantc, you there?
| |
19:25 | about to make a change to router might disconnect momentarily
| |
19:26 | <cliebow> BucWheat in debiasn the controlling file "should" be /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf...but you'd best check that dhcp is running on the ltsp server with netstat -anp|grep ":67"
| |
19:28 | <vagrantc> /etc/dhcpd.conf is from 2.x and older versions of dhcp server ... i recommend dhcp3-server instead
| |
19:28 | BucWheat: but do what cliebow says.
