nfs export for /opt/ltsp/i386 subtree check or not ?
10:00
<vagrantc>
sepski: i've wondered that ever since that warning message started popping up
10:00
<sepski>
its exported with no_root_squash
10:00
<Blinny>
Gadi: I have a reproducible crash using an i810 video in a thin-client setup.
10:00
<sepski>
and man page say subtree checking is also used to make sure that files inside directories to which only root has access can only be accessed if the filesystem is exported with no_root_squash (see below), even if the file itself allows more general access.
10:01moa_ has joined #ltsp
10:01
<sepski>
but i dont grasp that sentence
10:01
<cliebow_>
Gadi: id perhaps have been better off starting form scratch than hacking someone elses html..
10:01
<vagrantc>
sepski: neither do i, which is why i haven't figured out what to do :)
10:02
<Gadi>
Blinny: you mean X won't load?
10:02
<sepski>
vagrantc, since /opt/ltsp/i386 is not a fs by itself (on my machine) ill use subtree checking
10:02
<Blinny>
Gadi: The problem is (I think) that the BIOS does not properly report available video ram, nor does it allow for changing the amount. It has 1024k, which apparently isn't enough to run the i810 server (and X won't load). If you specify X_VIDEORAM=4096 or some other amount, loading up a big page in firefox will cause a xserver crash.
10:02
<vagrantc>
sepski: well, i *think* it's not talking about the underlying filesystem
10:03
<Gadi>
Blinny: LTSP 4.2 or 5?
10:03
<Blinny>
Gadi: 4.2
10:03
Gadi: I'm guessing specifying the VIDEORAM allows X to start, but then the big page in firefox will write mem out-of-bounds, causing the crash.
10:03
<Gadi>
i810 uses shared RAM
10:03
<Blinny>
Gadi: Unfortunately I'm not the only one getting it, either.
10:03
Yes, it does.
10:03
<Gadi>
for video
10:03
so, make the Viseoram much higher
10:04
<Blinny>
That does not have an effect.
10:04
The test box is on my desk. Lemme fire it up and give some examples.
10:04
<Gadi>
did you verify that it is memory
10:04
<sepski>
10:05
<Blinny>
Gadi: I don't understand the question. You mean using memtest?
10:05
<Gadi>
Blinny: also check ur BIOS setting
10:05
<Blinny>
Gadi: This BIOS does not allow for tuning video ram.
10:05
<Gadi>
really? hmm...
10:05
does it not crash if you use vesa?
10:05
<Blinny>
I even upgraded to the latest revision. Dell BIOSs suck.
10:05
<vagrantc>
sepski: well, the default behavior is "subtree_check", and it hasn't seemed to cause any problems
10:05
<Blinny>
Doesn't crash if I use VESA, however I can only go up to 800x600
10:06
<sepski>
vagrantc, indeed
10:06pedrolo has quit IRC
10:06
<vagrantc>
sepski: could just experiment with no_subtree_check and see if bad things hapepn
10:06
<Gadi>
Blinny: seems i810 is not taking the RAM it needs from system memory
10:06vanya has quit IRC
10:06
<Gadi>
unless ur running out of system memory
10:07
<Blinny>
Gadi: Right
10:07
Gadi: I'll boot now w/ no lts.conf options.
10:07
Gadi: This client has 256MB. I have ten or fifteen identical boxes; So far I've tested three. All three exhibit the same trait.
10:08
<Gadi>
also, do you know the exact chipset?
10:10
<Blinny>
Gadi: No, but I'm sure I could find it out.
10:10
One sec. When I don't specify X_VIDEORAM it uses all 256 and takes awhile to crash.
10:11
<Gadi>
drop into a shell and run: lspci
10:11
<Blinny>
If I specify 4096, 8192 or some other then it's a quick crash.
10:11
<Gadi>
well, gee, make it crash, why don't you? ;)
10:11
and im sure it doesnt use all 256 ;)
10:11
otherwise you'd crash pretty quickly
10:11
har har har

Indel Corp 82810E DC-133 graphics memory controller hub. SMBus: Intel Corp 82801AA
10:12
:s;del;tel
10:13
Also takes a lot longer to crash if Javascript is disabled.
10:14
If I specify X_VIDEORAM, and switch to shell during page rendering, it doesn't crash until I render another page.
10:16
Okay. I took out the radeon I was testing in there. Booting now w/ VIDEORAM=4096
10:18
OK. Crash occurred about 2 seconds after page load.
10:18
'xserver failed, press <enter> to continue'
10:21
<Gadi>
what resolution?
10:21
and color depth?
10:21
<Blinny>
Default - 1024x768 and 16-bit
10:22
<Gadi>
and you have no control over video in the BIOS?
10:22
<Blinny>
Specifying 8192 actually causes the crash prior to the page finishing loading.
10:22
<Gadi>
bad memory?
10:22
<Blinny>
Gadi: Nope. All I have is either a device selection. 'Onboard' or 'Auto'
10:23
Gadi: Perhaps, if other people with similar chipsets on different machines also have similarly bad memory.
10:25
There we go. Taking out the VIDEORAM setting caused a crash after the 2nd page loaded
10:25
<Gadi>
can you disable DPMS in the BIOS?
10:25
if you can disable any power management stuff, that may help
10:26
<Blinny>
No. I only have 'auto power on' (disabled) and 'remote wake up' (off)
10:28
Hmm. That time I disabled java & javascript and it still crashed immediately. FUN
10:28marek82 has quit IRC
10:28
<Gadi>
try: X_DEVICE_OPTION_01 = "VBERestore False"
10:29
<Blinny>
w/ no other options specified? (I'm thinking of videoram)
10:29
<Gadi>
right
10:30
<Blinny>
Nope, crash after page load & mousing over a image
10:30
Unfortunately, due to the full-stop I can't see what's happening in xorg.log
10:31
<Gadi>
at the shell, also check that the agpgart module is loaded and that there is no DPMS option in the /tmp/XF86CONFIG.1
10:31
<Blinny>
One sec, lemme boot again
10:32
modules are extmod, glx, freetype and type1
10:33
This is interesting. VideoRam is 4096, though I didn't set that in lts.conf
10:33
There is nothing about DPMS.
10:34
So, no agpgart
10:34
<Gadi>
lsmod|grep agp
10:34
<Blinny>
Nothing
10:34
X_MODULE_01?
10:35* vagrantc wonders how ltsp5 would work with this same video card
10:35
<Gadi>
hmm
10:35
<Blinny>
vagrantc: Unfortunately I dunno if ltsp has anything to do with this.
10:35
<Gadi>
try: MODULE_01 = "intel_agp"
10:35
and reboot
10:36
<vagrantc>
Blinny: yes, well, testing a different X implementation would be one way to determine that
10:36
<Blinny>
not found
10:36
<Gadi>
interesting
10:36
<Blinny>
vagrantc: This problem rolled over from FC5->FC6 (k12ltsp that is)
10:36
<Gadi>
how about MODULE_01 = "agpgart"
10:37
<Blinny>
booting
10:37
<vagrantc>
Blinny: you mean it's always been a problem, or upgrading caused the problem?
10:37
<Blinny>
not found
10:37
<Gadi>
Blinny: somethings fishy
10:37
<Blinny>
vagrantc: It was a problem in both FC5-based K12LTSP and, now, FC6-based K12LTSP
10:38
Gadi: That's MODULE_01 not X_MODULE_01, correct?
10:38
<Gadi>
right
10:38
<vagrantc>
did fc5 k12ltsp use an older version of ltsp?
10:38
<Blinny>
The only agpgart file I have is '/opt/ltsp/ppc/lib/modules/2.4.22-2f/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o' -- and this is a i386 machine
10:39irule has joined #ltsp
10:39
<Blinny>
vagrantc: Unfortunately, no. Both are 4.2. I guess you're on the right track. I was thinking of the x11_driver_i810 packages
10:39
<vagrantc>
Blinny: well, i've given my suggestion. :)
10:40
<Blinny>
vagrantc: And I thank you!
10:40
vagrantc: Unfortunately this server does a lot of other stuff too. I'm inherently nervous about upgrades.
10:40
<vagrantc>
Blinny: sure... and there's no easy upgrade path ...
10:40
<Blinny>
Gadi: 'locate intel_agp' produces no files either.
10:41
vagrantc: Is that sarcasm or truism?
10:41
<Gadi>
locate intel-agp
10:41
<Blinny>
Gadi: Nothing.
10:41
<vagrantc>
Blinny: well, there's no simple way to upgrade from ltsp 4.2 to one of the ltsp 5 implementations.
10:41
<Gadi>
Blinny: somethings very fishy
10:41
<Blinny>
vagrantc: Ok. I really don't know. -- and so far, I've been in the Fedora corner because it's what I'm used to.
10:42
Gadi: This is a clean install of K12LTSPv5 upgraded (via ISO) to K12LTSP6
10:42
It's an x86_64 box.
10:42
<Gadi>
try: find /opt/ltsp/i386|grep agpgart
10:43
<Blinny>
vagrantc: I know a lot of folks here are working closely w/ Ubuntu (yourself included..?)
10:43
Gadi: nothing
10:43
<vagrantc>
Blinny: i've mostly worked on debian thus far
10:43
Blinny: but work closely with the ubuntu folks

Gadi: I suppose I should have those files?
10:52
<Gadi>
well, they are kernel modules
10:52
in theory :)
10:52
<Blinny>
heh
10:53* Gadi doesnt know how k12ltsp does their pkgs these days
10:53
<Gadi>
maybe you can check that all is installed nicely
10:53
<Blinny>
Is that more than tangentially related to the i810 crash?
10:53* Gadi shrugs
10:53
<Blinny>
Gadi: Hrm. There's a rpm -qi or something that does that?
10:53
<Gadi>
i know that i810 often relies on agpgart
10:53
and more recently intel_agp
10:53
so, it could be related
10:54
i810 is a bizarre chipset, but it is one of the best supported in linux
10:54
<Blinny>
Lemme poll the k12ltsp list.
10:54
<Gadi>
it is ironic that that should be the one you have issues with
10:54

10:56
Well then, I'll troll this channel until it's answered for me!
10:56
<Blinny>
If the agpgart.o were there, where would it be?
10:57
kernel/drivers/char/agp?
10:58
<Gadi>
moa_: well, when u put it that way, whats up?
10:58
Blinny: indeed
10:58
<moa_>
ltsp 4.2, have alot of zombie processes. It seems to not be killing every users processes when they log out.
10:58
Any ideas?

moa_: On my K12LTSP I set 'PURGE_PROCESSES=YES' in /etc/sysconfig/k12ltsp
11:01

Blinny: I forgot to add, this is gentoo with the ltsp ebuild.
11:01
<Blinny>
moa_: Then I forgot to add 'I dunno' (; Sorry mate.. My field of experience is fairly limited.
11:01
<moa_>
lol
11:02
Thanks anyways, I'll continue looking around.
11:03
<Gadi>
moa_: add a login/logout script to pkill -u <user>
11:03
or optionally: pkill -9 -u <user>
11:04Skarmeth has joined #ltsp
11:05
<moa_>
gadi: where would I call that script from? I've already got one built to kill them nightly(cron job).
11:06
<Gadi>
moa_: I would call it from the display manager
11:06
so, in gdm: /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default
11:06
etc
11:07
<moa_>
Gadi: Thanks, that points me in the right direction.
11:10
<Blinny>
Gadi: I may be bogged down in upgrade hell here. 'rpm -qa ltsp_ppc' returns 4.0.0-0.k12ltsp.2.4.2 version, while 'rpm -qa ltsp_i386' returns ltsp_i386-4.2-4.k12ltsp.6.0.0a
11:14
ltsp_ppc provides the agpgart.o file that is in /ppc/kernel

11:59
<Gadi>
any good tips for being able to test a PXE image in vmware to boot off a local feisty install (bridged eth0) without having to have eth0 actually plugged into somethin?
11:59
<ogra-classmate>
ficonfig eth0 up ?
12:00
*ifconfig
12:00
<Gadi>
nah - it needs to be plugged in
12:00
not just configured
12:00
<ogra-classmate>
nope
12:00
<Gadi>
thats the annoying part ;)
12:00
<ogra-classmate>
not here at least
12:00
<Gadi>
are you bridged?
12:00
<ogra-classmate>
ifconfig with a static ip should work
12:01
nope, i'm using tun/tap here, bt i've seen bridged setups
12:02
<Gadi>
nope - that doesnt work for me
12:02
need to actually physically plug in the cable
12:02
<ogra-classmate>
so set up tun/tap instead ;) itrs easier anyway

Gadi: I'm wondering if mii-tool or ethtool can be used to force a connection type
12:10
maybe if you force 100mbs fdx, it might be enough to convince the driver that it's actually connected
12:15
<ogra-classmate>
what kind of card is that ? i remember the setup i know uses a reaktek

On Ubuntu, I'm thinking of switching to KDM for our XDMCP sessions. I've googled high and low for a way to have GDM perform autologin to a specific useraccount for a specific IP address. This is drop dead easy in KDM. GDM has a way, but they force you to specify a unique script file for each username.

i'm pretty sure you can write a script to do whatever you want
12:55
<joebaker>
I think the GDM approach is a patched approach as well which isn't in most distributions.
12:56
vagrantc: I wouldn't object to the script approach if it was one script for all the logins, but it seems a bit much to have an individual script for each machine. Maybe I'm totally wrong in my impression though.
12:57
<vagrantc>
the stuff i've seen seems to be a single script for all users. but i haven't actually used it
12:57
<joebaker>
Maybe XDM would be a better, lighter weight approach.
12:57
<vagrantc>
autologin with xdm is ugly
12:57
<joebaker>
thanks vagrantc. Both tips will help a great deal in my searches.
12:58
<vagrantc>
good luck

i saw it posted somewhere on the k12ltsp lists, i think ... at the time it required a patch to gdm, but should be integrated upstream

joebaker: the script just needs to return a username on stdout
12:59plamengr has left #ltsp

u're free to make a lookup table
13:00
<joebaker>
ok. I think I could do that.
13:01
<Gadi>
most people are lazy and just output hostname :)
13:02
and then set username=hostname

<Blinny>
Gadi: So, given that agpgart isn't an issue, do you have any suggestions for where I should proceed re: the i810 problem?
13:03
<joebaker>
The thing is that I only want certian machines to do this on. People in our accounting department would still face a password login.
13:03
<Gadi>
i would test the other clients as well
13:03
and make sure its not a bad RAM issue
13:03
joebaker: so, put that in the lookup table
13:04
(ie dont print to stdout for the accounting guys)

is there a option in lts.conf to adjust that speed?
13:31

ya, there is
13:32
<vykarian>
and that would be... ?
13:32

i'm looking :)
13:32
<vykarian>
tyty =]
13:34
<yanu>
XkbRules = xfree86
13:34
must be something the same as this ...
13:37
<vykarian>
hmm..
13:37
XDM_SERVER = 192.168.10.250
13:37
...
13:37
<yanu>
AutoRepeat =
13:37
<vykarian>
SCREEN_01 = startx
13:37
<yanu>
delay is the time in milliseconds before a key starts repeating.
13:37
<vykarian>
XkbRules = xfree86
13:37
wow
13:37
<yanu>
AutoRepeat = 500 30
13:37
this is the default, see man keyboard
13:38
<vykarian>
so.. that XkbRules = xfree86 \n\r AutoRepeat = 500 30 in box session @ lts.conf could solve that?
13:39
<yanu>
think so
13:39
<vykarian>
13:39
<yanu>
no, you just add "AutoRepeat = 500 30"
13:39

what do you guys think about that terminal ? http://www.ewayco.com/51-embedded-systems-100-PC-mini-ITX-low-cost/12-mx-800mhz-low-cost-pc-embedded-system.html

13:53
<vagrantc>
is that the e2300 ?
13:55
<cliebow_>
i thin so..
13:55
<BlackDark>
it looks to be low cost, $125 but I don't have any idea about the exact price, US $ or TW $
13:55meduxa has quit IRC

actually, that's got a much faster processor

<cliebow_>
BlackDark..i set out to order a test one..for 99..tiomje as shipping and a 30 charge to woire them the money i gave up
13:56

the e2300 has a 233MHz proc or something like that
13:56

jammcq was set to order some of the 200 meg models..\
13:57

these are far more powerful.
13:58

cliebow_: we've spent so much time trying to get them to work decently...
13:58

I would like something with 800 mhz at least
13:58
I have some visara terms

vagrantc, those were the little ones werent they?
13:58

with a proc @ 233 mhz
13:58

vagrantc: hey there. are you still in Spain?
13:58

cliebow_: yeah, they fit right on the back of a monitor

it's limit acceptable with xdmcp
13:59
<vagrantc>
highvoltage: sure am :)
13:59
<cliebow_>
COOL idea..these have a via eden mobo..completely different
13:59
<vagrantc>
cliebow_: it has holes which fit perfectly with most monitor screw patterns... it must have been intentional

thats 4.2, Gadi

14:14
so mythtv should be welcome on this box :) yes !!
14:17
<vykarian>
Gadi didn't work
14:17
another tip?
14:17
the keyboard input is very fast in xorg, when type b it prints bbbbbbbb
14:18
(when using old DIM keyboards)
14:18
<Gadi>
are you sure its the keyboard
14:18
have you tried a different type of keyboard?
14:18
<vykarian>
have 3 box with those keyboard in 68
14:18
the 65 with ps2 work frine
14:19
already changed the keyboard..
14:19
and when I boot out of X, that works normally
14:19
<Gadi>
I have heard on older hardware where having acpi and apm turned on can cause multiple hits on the keyboard
14:19
do they PXE or etherboot?
14:20
<vykarian>
etherboot
14:20
acpi/apm turned off
14:20
<Gadi>
ah
14:20
<vagrantc>
in bios, or in linux?
14:20
sometimes linux tries to outsmart the bios, in my experience
14:20
<vykarian>
linux, will check bios
14:20
<Gadi>
well, to get the Autorepeat working, you may have to create your own XF86CONFIG_FILE
14:21
or modify /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/build_x4_cfg
14:21
I dont think the stock script will add keyboard device options
14:22
<vykarian>
checking it out.. but i guess when these boxes borned ACPI was just plans
14:22* vagrantc makes a note to rename it X_CONFIG_FILE
14:25
<vykarian>
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
14:25
AutoRepeat "500 30"
14:25
at build_x4_cfg
14:26
<Blinny>
vykarian: I'm interested in your solution too; some of my older clients also have a similar problem
14:28
I think I need to ditch these older boxes and just buy a bunch of thin clients.
14:29
<moa_>
We have 25 thin clients. The work like a charm.
14:31
<Blinny>
moa_: What kind?

but that configuration would apply too for ps/2 keyboard, right?
14:38
the repeating (c means cccccc) is only over old keyboards
14:42
<Blinny>
Wow. Is PXE much slower than Etherboot for booting clients?
14:44

Blinny, a tiny bit, but not much

sepski: A client I put one of jammcq's aopen NICs in would boot in 15-20 seconds. Switching to the onboard (same speed) that used PXE booted in around 3 minutes.
14:47
response when mousing around is pretty crappy too
14:47
This probably has to do more with the NFSOPTS I had to pass b/c I have a gig ethernet card in the server
14:48
<sepski>
probably
14:48
do you have nfs errors in the nfs server log while booting ?
14:49
<Blinny>
Yes, even after adding the MOPTS at http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/NFS#NFS_Server_not_responding
14:49
So I tried NFSOPTS='-o ext'
14:50
...which got rid of the errors, but I haven't been able to find what that mount option is.
14:50
Wait, nevermind. Still errorring.
14:50floatingman has quit IRC
14:52

I already tried all ways..

<vykarian>

18:15
<moa_>
I'm not an ltsp expert..was in here earlier in the day asking questions myself.
