do u guys/girls have any idea why my clients aren't able to mount /opt/ltsp/<arch>/ during boot?
01:15
it just prints: nfs: server <myip> not responding, timed out
01:16
but the client runs actually, it just doesn't run in the /opt/ltsp/i386/ environment
01:22
btw, i'm running debian 4.0 & ltsp-5

Hi! Is it possible to integrate (I mean packages installation but not kernel modifications) LTSP into Ubuntu-desktop, or I have to install Ubuntu-server?
03:42
<vanya>
Rimas, you searched someone from Ukraine yesterday. Do you still need such person? :)
03:42plamengr has joined #ltsp

<Rimas>
Hi, Vanya, I was writing to you direvtly but it was no answer :-/
03:43
<vanya>
Rimas, have you registered your on Freenode?
03:43
*your nick
03:43
<Rimas>
My English is not so good and I was thinking to ask someone fron Ukraine
03:44
no, I haven't
03:44
<vanya>
I have no experience with Ubuntu actually
03:44
register your nick and you will be able to use private messages
03:44
<Rimas>
Where can I do that
03:44
<vanya>
you can also write to my ICQ 130466092
03:45
<Rimas>
Oh, it would be easier
03:45

<vagrantc>
Rimas: i'm not sure i understand your question ... you want to configure LTSP on a desktop machine ?
03:46
Rimas: it's actually not part of the ubuntu-server distribution yet
03:46
<Rimas>
vagrantc: Yes
03:46
<vagrantc>
!ubuntuquick
03:46
<ltspbot>
vagrantc: "ubuntuquick" is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall

OK, I was already looking around.. and I was trying these instructions. But unsuccessful. Another quastion: Is it ok if I using AMD64 as a server and thin clients i486
03:51
?
03:55
<vagrantc>
yes
03:55Jenna has quit IRC
03:55
<vagrantc>
you might need to specify --arch i386
03:57
<Rimas>
specify while installing client?
03:57
<vagrantc>
ltsp-build-client --arch i386
03:58
<Rimas>
OK, I understand.. I'll try this. Thanks
03:59Jenna has joined #ltsp
03:59
<Rimas>
I was thinking that all clients are old obsolet computers... So it is good to make client with arch i386 by default

09:18

i'm supposed to get a new driver today
09:19
yep
09:19* vagrantc wondered, with all the comings and goings
09:19
<ogra-classmate>
for now i concentrated on getting that thing to work at all with modified squashfs and writeable partition ...
09:20
<vagrantc>
ah, good.
09:20
layered unionfs?
09:20
<ogra-classmate>
i have the full edubuntu live squashfs running in rw mode now and still about 1gig free for /home
09:20
yep
09:20
<vagrantc>
i thought there was only a 1GB drive in there?
09:21
<ogra-classmate>
2G
09:21
800M for the squashfs, 200 for the rw partition and the rest for /home

Can anyone here help me troubleshoot a problem I am having. I have LTSP running on a centOS 5 system. Everything is going great until I try and login from the thin client. When type in the root username and password and hit enter the screen goes to an X cursor in the middle for a few seconds and then kicks me back to the login screen. On the server I can see the log where ssh was authenticated but no errors or anything.

Hola a todos desde España
10:38
Hello all from Spain
10:39
<markgreene>
Hey from USA
10:39
<envite>
h markgreene
10:40
<markgreene>
envite: are you familiar with ltsp. I am having and issue with my thin client logging into the server
10:40
<envite>
well, I'm quite familiar, but not a guru
10:40
ask me :)
10:40

10:41
<envite>
which ltsp version?
10:42
<markgreene>
5
10:42
<vagrantc>
markgreene: which tarball?
10:42
<envite>
hum, I'm not using it yet, but...
10:42
are you using GDM?
10:42
<vagrantc>
if it's producing ssh logs, probably LDM
10:43
<markgreene>
vagrantc: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) i386
10:43
<envite>
I'm thinking about root being expressely forbidden to log in remotely
10:43
¿have you tried with other users?
10:43
<vagrantc>
generally, that's a smart thing to do
10:43
<markgreene>
envite: I honestly am not SAVY with linux - so explain what GDM is
10:43
<vagrantc>
markgreene: you're not running GDM
10:43
well, not logging in via ltsp
10:44
markgreene: can you ssh to the server as root?
10:44
<markgreene>
yes - from other machines. I don't know how to try from the client
10:44
vagrantc: I also just tried it as another user and it did the same thing
10:44
<vagrantc>
ok.
10:44
progress
10:44
markgreene: do you have /etc/X11/Xsession on your server?
10:45
<markgreene>
vagrantc: why am I not running GDM?
10:45
<envite>
markgreene: GDM is the Gnome Display Manager, but vagrantc (who know more tham me about LTSP 5) says you're probably not using it but LDM (LTSP Display Manager)
10:45
<markgreene>
vagrantc: let me look ...
10:46
vagrantc: I have /etc/X11/... - BUT I DO NOT HAVE a folder inside call Xsession
10:46
<vagrantc>
markgreene: it's expected to be a file.
10:46
<markgreene>
envite: vagrantc: I am running KDE on centOS
10:46
<vagrantc>
markgreene: well, there's your problem. you're not running ubuntu or debian on your server :)
10:46
<markgreene>
vagrantc: no folder or file
10:46
vagrantc: My work asked for me to make it work on centOS 5
10:46
<vagrantc>
that's an assumtion made with LDM ... it logs in as the user and runs /etc/X11/Xsession
10:47
<markgreene>
vagrantc: So what is the work around i need to be looking for?
10:47
<vagrantc>
markgreene: so, you can create a /etc/X11/Xsession script that handles login
10:47fernando1 has joined #ltsp
10:47
<envite>
markgreene: It does nothing to do KDE or GNOME with GDM or KDM or LDP or... any other XDM.
10:48
You can use any XDM to start any desktop
10:48
<vagrantc>
markgreene: is xterm installed on your server?
10:48
<envite>
I always use GDM and almost always use KDE
10:48
<markgreene>
vagrantc: I just ran a search "find | grep Xsession" and it turned up a file on my server in /etc/X11/xinit/Xession
10:48
as well as /etc/gdm/Xsession
10:49
<vagrantc>
markgreene: what's /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession look like?
10:49
actually ...
10:49
<markgreene>
FIXED IT
10:49
!
10:49
I just copied that file to /etc/X11
10:49
and it worked!
10:49
THIS IS AWESOME!
10:50
<vagrantc>
sure
10:50
which did you copy?
10:50
probably better to make a symlink
10:50
<markgreene>
cp /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession /etc/X11
10:50
<vagrantc>
ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession /etc/X11/Xsession
10:50
<markgreene>
you're right
10:50
* STILL NEW TO LINUX
10:50
<vagrantc>
that way when it upgrades it will still work
10:50
<markgreene>
yep
10:50
man this was well worth my time
10:51
<highvoltage>
:)
10:51
<markgreene>
One of the cooler things I have done on linux
10:51
<vagrantc>
markgreene: so, /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession doesn't make any assumptions about where it runs from?
10:51
<markgreene>
vagrantc: that question is a LITTLE over my head, but I guess not. Must use absolute paths
10:51
<vagrantc>
lucky you :)
10:51
<markgreene>
extremely
10:52
<vagrantc>
you might also be able to symlink it to /etc/gdm/Xsession or whatever that file was
10:53
when people tried the tarballs on redhat-ish systems, i threw my arms up in the air and wondered where they were gonna get an /etc/X11/Xsession
10:53
<markgreene>
vagrantc: Here is one thing I do not understand. I use KDE, but it logs me in with gnome
10:53
<vagrantc>
markgreene: now i know, thanks to you
10:54bobby_C has quit IRC
10:54
<markgreene>
vagrantc: Well I am flattered that this stupid linux Newb could help
10:54
<vagrantc>
markgreene: somehow, Xsession is determining what your default session type is
10:54
markgreene: i have *no* idea how to set that on centos
10:54
<markgreene>
vagrantc: Well that won't do... But hell I think it's all down hill from here
10:54
<envite>
markgreene: in the same screen in which you have to log in it must be a "session" button or link
10:54
<vagrantc>
markgreene: if you can get a login, you're all set.
10:54
envite: that may not work with LDM
10:55
<markgreene>
it does not
10:55
<vagrantc>
someone has to implement ldminfod for non-debian systems
10:55
<envite>
in that one you can select wich session you will run: either KDE or Gnome or XFCE or IceWM or WindowsMaker or....
10:55
<vagrantc>
envite: stop telling markgreene things that aren't true :P
10:55
<markgreene>
envite: that won't work for me - I am taking the road less traveled

So you're from Spain envite? I have always wanted to travel there
10:56

10:56
<envite>
markgreene: yes. Canary Islands
10:56
<markgreene>
ncie
10:56
*nice
10:56
<envite>
vagrantc: as I said, I always use GDM
10:56
it's powerful and nicer, at least IMHO
10:57
<meduxa>
envite is a GDM radiKal
10:57
<envite>
thanks, meduxa
10:57
(dont trust him, he's my boss)
10:57
<vagrantc>
envite: yes, well, telling someone how to use a program they don't have installed... isn't nice :P
10:58
<meduxa>
I use GDM because you put it to me on my laptop so...you are wellcome
10:58

meduxa: were you the fellow who spoke at UES ?
10:58
meduxa: in sevilal ?
10:58
<meduxa>

10:58
<vagrantc>
er sevilla
10:58
<meduxa>
envite and I work together
10:58
he is the guy that configures our ltsp systems
10:59
<vagrantc>
ah.
10:59
<meduxa>
in our company
10:59
<vagrantc>
i must visit sometime :)
10:59
<envite>
sure, you must :D
10:59
<meduxa>
yes, you are invited to stay with us
10:59
so you only have to pay the trip
10:59
<jammcq>
and meduxa is the guy who buys us beer at the hotel :)
11:00
<meduxa>
you will be able to visit various islands since we have people
11:00
<vagrantc>
did meduxa buy me beer?
11:00
<meduxa>
in a couple of them
11:00
<jammcq>
umm, he bought some beers for several of us
11:00
<meduxa>
yes I work better with a beer
11:00
<vagrantc>
i haven't had much wine since i left sevilal
11:01
why can't i spell sevilla?
11:01
<envite>
what a group of male-alone-drunken-hackers must you made them
11:02
<vagrantc>
but i'm sober now, and i still have troubles spelling sevilla
11:02
<envite>
try the english way
11:02
seville
11:03
<vagrantc>
it's about as difficult ... the e's not so far on the keyboard
11:03
<envite>
a Qwerty one? or a Dvorçak?
11:05
<vagrantc>
qwerty
11:05
it took me a little too long to figure out how to spell qwerty
11:05
<envite>
hahahahahahahahahahaha
11:05
simply pressing the first six letters on the first row may suffice ;)
11:05
<vagrantc>
tengo grippe
11:06
<envite>
flu?
11:06
<vagrantc>
just a cold
11:06
hopefully
11:07
<envite>
well, not "gripe" but "catarro" then
11:08* vagrantc wonders if it's different in guatemala
11:08* envite wonders too
11:09
<envite>
well, I've just searched the officeal Dictionary and teher is only one accepted definition of "gripe", that is teh equivalent of flu.
11:10
(yes, in spanish there is an _official_ dictionary)

i'm firmly in the descriptive language camp.
11:21
<envite>
heh
11:21
Maybe it's quite different in spanish and english
11:21
in spanish we have one single official dict for all spanish-talking countries
11:22
developed jointly by all spanish language academies of all those countries
11:22MeBadMagic is now known as BadMagic
11:22
<vagrantc>
sure, i understand that. but the language will evolve despite the dictionary
11:22ogra-classmate has joined #ltsp
11:22
<envite>
it helps us to maintain a united idiom
11:22
<vagrantc>
and i'm not saying it's a bad thing
11:22
<envite>
sure :) I _hope_ it evolves
11:24
<vagrantc>
but in linguistics theres two major ideas about language ... one is you describe how people use it, and the other is prescribing how people *should* use language (i.e. dictionaries and formal textbooks and such)

11:26
(I'm not self-moderated in the afternoon, only in the morning)
11:26
<vagrantc>
yeah. i.e. spanish spoken by people will be different than spanish as dictated by the academic world

Hey guys - another question(s): Getting sound to work, and changing the graphic on the login screen so that it does not say Ubuntu
11:34ltspbot has joined #ltsp
11:34
<markgreene>
envite: but it works in gnome?
11:34
<vagrantc>
envite: you can't just set KDE to use esound ?
11:35
<envite>
markgreene: in Gnome it mostly works
11:35
vagrantc: no
11:35
vagrantc: I'll explain
11:36
the usual method to do it in KDE is to use LD_PRELOAD to preload the OSS-ESD way
11:36
but in the new kde i'm using LD_PRELOAD does not work
11:36
<vagrantc>
"usual method" :P
11:37
<envite>
well... the one Wiki says
11:39
vagrantc: the problem is not the dound in KDE itself, but in the apps it starts
11:39
<vagrantc>
well sure
11:39
<envite>
kde used to honour LD_PRELOAD in the .kde/env scripts, as it does with ESDDSP and ESDMIXER
11:39
but now it "cleans" LD_PRELOAD
11:40
<vagrantc>
it's a major security risk
11:43
<envite>
i can imagine

12:08

this is "pure old-way" debian

mistik1: I thought so.
12:09
<cliebow_>
rjune-isis, been ages since i built lbe..what is wrong?
12:09
<mistik1>
rjune-isis: why not go with the MueKow method, It would seem easier to do since its based on the OS you are starting with
12:09
<rjune-isis>
the latetst checkout claims to require gcc 3.4
12:10
we're not building a terminal, but rather a router.
12:10
<vagrantc>
envite: i would recommend exploring what ubuntu has done and getting it working in debian, then :)
12:10
<rjune-isis>
LBE gives us a nice build environment.
12:10
<vagrantc>
envite: i think all, or most of the software is in etch
12:10
<cliebow_>
i thnk gcc-3.4 can sit alongside 4
12:10
<envite>
sure :)
12:10
<cliebow_>
i thought jammcq had fixed that
12:10
<rjune-isis>
possible, I was curious if it's been ported to 4.x and if not what was borken
12:11
<envite>
I'm simply trying to finish our actual ReciclaRed project to see how really mature is LTSP 5 with Pulseaudio and its LDA
12:11
<cliebow_>
lemme look on wiki..rjune

an old version of glibc?

well, it was current at the time
15:49

old is of course, relevant.
15:49

but that's a couple years ago
15:49

'okay, thanks.
15:50
yeah, but it's 90% of what we want already
15:50
plus it'll do cross compiles right?
15:50
<jammcq>
hmm, not really
15:50
the idea was there, but cross-compiles are really difficult, if the configure script doesn't support it
15:50

Good thing I said it was built on the target platform.

hey guys. What's the most common reason the thin client does not see a sound device?
16:40
<lns>
We experienced some thin client hard-lockups (no mouse movement, screen freeze) during certain situations such as attempting logging out with applications open, entering "slide show" mode in OOo Presentation, amongst a couple of other instances
16:42
<ogra-classmate>
lns: always on the same clients or randomly ?
16:42
the latter indicates a server problem
16:42
the formere points rather to network problems
16:42
*former
16:43ccjoe has joined #ltsp
16:43
<lns>
ogra-classmate, it seemed to be random, 4 seperate clients locked up during different times
16:44
<ogra-classmate>
which kernel are you using on the server ?
16:44ccjoe has left #ltsp
16:44
<lns>
don't have access to check right now, but its the latest that comes with feisty AMD64
16:45
Ubuntu Server btw not desktop (installed on the server)
16:45
<ogra-classmate>
try with the -server kernel, -generic wont use more than 4gig afair
16:45
<lns>
won't use or won't see? I saw all 8GB in system monitor
16:45
<ogra-classmate>
ah, hmm, then you would use the -server kernel
16:45
<lns>
k
16:45
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: I didn't get any massive noticeable boot-to-login time decrease with the udev changes and the C greeter. :( (About 21 seconds overall.)
16:46
ogra-classmate: My next step is to experiment with chroot kernel configs.
16:46
<ogra-classmate>
21 vs ?
16:46
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: Oh, 21 seconds less than the original 297 seconds to get a login prompt.
16:46
ogra-classmate: This thing boots LTSP 4.2 in 38 seconds.
16:46
<lns>
I can reproduce pretty well on the client side by going to Google Maps in FF and zooming/scroll around
16:46
<ogra-classmate>
well, a fixed module list speeds up a bit
16:46* moquist nods
16:46
<lns>
but other instances of hard locks happened at other times too
16:47
<ogra-classmate>
how much ram do the clients have?
16:47
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: the 21 seconds were saved before the first monitor detection happens, so it was the udev change that made the difference. the C greeter took almost exactly the same amount of time.
16:47
<lns>
lemme see
16:48
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: this is a 650mhz celeron with 128MB of ram. It takes *at least* twice as long to boot as does a 250Mhz AMD K6-2 with 64MB of ram.
16:48
<ogra-classmate>
yeah
16:48
<moquist>
shared video mem
16:48
(also)
16:48
<ogra-classmate>
thats weird
16:48
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: Yes.
16:49
<lns>
either 128mb or 256mb, with 32mb allocated for video ram
16:49
<ogra-classmate>
are the celerons all attached to the same network hw ?
16:49
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: That's why I want to play with kernel configs, to see if I can figure out where all the time is going to boot that silly thing. But there aren't any particularly long pauses that it's easy to identify, unfortunately.
16:49
<lns>
i actually had to bump the vidram up from 8mb because of many screen artifacts in the gnome session
16:49
<ogra-classmate>
and is it different to the hw the amd's use?
16:49
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: I've set up K12LTSP & Edubuntu on my laptop in vmware to test from the same hardware with the same virtual environment.
16:50
<ogra-classmate>
lns: hmm, that sounds fine
16:50
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: Not substantially, but I have more testing to do.
16:50
<lns>
ogra-classmate, yeah it's weird. I know the Neoware e100s have the via video chipset where everything up until Feisty was having an issue with detection
16:50
<ogra-classmate>
moquist: using a static xorg.conf speeds up a *lot* btw
16:50
<lns>
i'm almost wondering if its related
16:50
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: here are the stats I'm collecting, in case you're interested: http://n01se.net/paste/Jup
16:51nicoAMG has joined #ltsp

16:52
<lns>
ogra-classmate, oh haven't heard of that yet..is the openchrome driver not in the default kernel?
16:52
<ogra-classmate>
moquist: also backgrounding the nbd stuff (by simply appending an & in the initscript ) helps

ogra-classmate: you're not using a static xorg.conf in gutsy, though, right?
16:54
<ogra-classmate>
moquist: nope
16:54
but the X detection will get better with 7.3
16:54* moquist nods
16:55
<ogra-classmate>
it will autodetect on startup without the need for any config file
16:55
so this part can go from the initsvript
16:55
<moquist>
ogra-classmate: I fear that this craptop just won't be able to load *any* graphical login locally in very much less time.
16:55
ogra-classmate: ah! cool.
16:56
ogra-classmate: I would much rather keep talking about this ATM, but unfortunately I must prepare to lead a discussion in 30 minutes... :\
16:56
<ogra-classmate>
lns: can you set a root pw in the chroot and log in on the console on the client and check which x driver is used ? smells like you are using vesa or something
16:57
moquist: well, its nearly twelve here and i'm working since 9am ...
16:57

ogra-classmate, i can try that when i'm onsite, yes for sure
16:57

so i should soon hit the road as well :)
16:57

can vesa do 1280x1024 32-bit though? they look very nice and slick

hi
17:24
i have a question, whats different between ltsp 4.2 and ltsp 5 ?
17:29
<cliebow>
it is an altogether different idea..
17:29
4.2 was b uilt from a build environment..populated with source
17:30
5 uses binaries of the host distro
17:30
it is still under devel
17:30
<mighty-d>
ok, i like to use slackware on my servers
17:30
<cliebow>
to speed boot process
17:30
<mighty-d>
ohh it is under devel?
17:30
<cliebow>
i dont know as anyone has tried building a chroot from slack binaaries..
17:31
<mighty-d>
because i dont see slackware packages, and i dont really think it will be one...
17:31
slackware ppl doesnt like the prebuilt packages
17:31
<cliebow>
you "can" use the tarballs created for eithe 4.2 or 5 or both under slack if you can provide essential servces
17:31
like tftp dhcp nfs x
17:32
<mighty-d>
im running 4.2 and it works like a charm, however i want to be up to date with my system and knowledge
17:32
<cliebow>
gentoo is getting up to speed...fedora has done "some"
17:32
suse is working on it
17:33nicoAMG has quit IRC
17:33
<mighty-d>
do you suggest i should wait a little before jumping to 5?
17:39
<cliebow>
id jump right in..cana always set the chroot aside
17:39
and still use it..i have six different chroot on my lappie]\
17:39
and as many kernels
17:40
<mighty-d>
cliebow... i dont have this chance, i have a lot of users, and i cant be messing around with the system...
17:41
whats the difference (in benefits) between 5 and 4.2, i mean, im very happy with 4.2 but i have found a lot of problems using esd
17:41
but sound isnt a requirement of my network, so i dont have sound support on my thin clients
17:44
<cliebow>
sound should work out of the box
17:45
<mighty-d>
in 5/
17:45
in 5?
17:45
<cliebow>
well..not unless server side adjustents are made...
17:45
<mighty-d>
are you talking of 5 or both?
17:46
<cliebow>
i almost think you'd be better off sticlking with 4.2 for now...
17:46
in5..
17:48
but slack hasnt gotten up to speed building chroot with their own stuff
17:48
so stay 4.2 for now if you are wed to slack..
17:50
<mighty-d>
ok cliebow... thanks, however... if in the future there is no slackware package i can run thin clients images from slack?
17:50
"Users of distributions that choose not to incorporate LTSP functionality into the distribution will still be able to incorporate the technology using pre-made thin client operating system images made available by the LTSP maintainers"
17:53
<cliebow>
sure..they just wont have the server side tweaks that make things smooth..
17:55
<mighty-d>
which server side tweeks are you talking about... btw which distro are you running cliebow?
18:01
ok, thanks cliebow, i have a huge respect for your knowledge, you have helped me in the past, gotta go now, thanks a lot

so, for NCLS, do you want to stay near the airport or the college?
20:39
<jammcq>
ummmm
20:40
it doesn't much matter
20:40
<petre>
well, there are more choices by the airport
20:41
but I suspect the rates might be better near the college
20:41
<jammcq>
I prefer a courtyard or residence inn
20:42
so I'll poke around a bit
20:42
<petre>
I sent a list of seemingly decent hotels near the college to Riann from South Africa (forget his last name)
20:43
where did you stay last year?
20:43
<jammcq>
residence inn near the airport
20:43
<petre>
I can send you the list I sent to Riann if you like
20:44
I think there's also a residence inn near the intersection of I-494 and Hwy. 169
20:44
which is about not quite halfway between
20:47
or there's one downtown, which would also be halfway between them
20:47
it's got an indoor waterslide, in case that's important to you ;-)

There's a part of town called Uptown that's got lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, without outside seating that might be nice.
20:56
not too far from my house, btw
20:56
in Minneapolis proper
20:57
<jammcq>
welp, I arrive at 7:35pm, I'd have to pick up the rental car, and then I'd like to get checked in at the hotel
20:57
so it may be 8:30-9pm before I'm ready to meet anyone

I'd suggest the Residence Inn in Eden Prairie, then
20:59
not too far from the airport, but is in the direction of the college
20:59
we can meet you there
20:59
<jammcq>
that could work, I'll search it in a minute
20:59
<petre>
there are lots of restaurants in that area, too
21:00
just not very pedestrian-friendly; it's suburbia, near a shopping mall
21:00PMantis has joined #ltsp
21:01
<jammcq>
I won't be there much, so pedestrian friendly isn't important
21:01
<petre>
I'd suggest the one downtown for it's proximity to the steakhouse, but it's actually quite a hike between them

<petre>
so I think the EP one would be better for you
21:09
<dberkholz>
eden prairie's still a fairly long drive from north hennepin...
21:09
30 min at least, i'd guess
21:10
<petre>
nah, you can make it in 25
21:10
<dberkholz>
guess it depends how close to the freeway you are
21:10
<petre>
dberkholz: aren't you from, what was it, Plymouth?
21:10
<dberkholz>
yep
21:11
<petre>
the Residence Inn is right off 494
21:11
by the EP mall
21:12
<dberkholz>
there's that pretty nice hotel at 694 and boone or so, haven't stayed there personally
21:12
the northland
21:13
<petre>
right, nice & close to the college
21:13
OTOH, if he doesn't get in to MSP until 7:35, then has to rent a car, it would make more sense to make his drive short
21:14
we can get down to EP easily by then from the college
21:14
then he only has to make that drive Friday morning
21:14
Friday evening, we'll go downtown, and if he stays in EP, that puts him closer to the airport for Sat.
21:14
<dberkholz>
you're setting it up, i'm just an idle commentator
21:15
<petre>
actually, I'm just thinking out loud, so I appreciate the suggestion, as it allows me to argue the pros and cons of each location
21:15
so with that all said, I think the EP Res. Inn makes the most sense
21:16
I didn't really have an opinion about that until just now ;-)
21:16
dberkholz: where are you now?
21:16
<dberkholz>
oregon state university
21:17
<petre>
ah, right, grad school, correct?
21:17
<dberkholz>
yes sir
21:17
<petre>
how far along are you?
21:17
doing a thesis?
21:17
<dberkholz>
2.5 years, and yes
21:17
<petre>
topic?
21:18
<dberkholz>
protein structure and function

petre: I see a Courtyard in Eden Prairie
21:28
<petre>
right, "Courtyard by Marriott", and it's a Residence Inn, right?
21:29cliebow has quit IRC
21:29
<jammcq>
well, Courtyard and Res-Inn are 2 separate hotels
21:29
both owned by marriott
21:29
<petre>
7780 Flying Cloud Drive?
21:29cliebow has joined #ltsp
21:30
<petre>
I thought they were separate too, but the page I'm looking at is a Marriott
21:30
and it shows Res Inn
21:30
nice place, my sister and her family stayed there when they were moving here from Seattle two years ago
21:30
<jammcq>
Courtyard Minneapolis Eden Prairie
21:30
# 11391 Viking Drive
21:30
# Eden Prairie, MN 55344
21:31
It's done, i've reserved the room there
21:31
Courtyards have the best beds
21:31
and it's slightly cheaper than res-inn
21:33
<petre>
oh, right, I know that one; also a good place, actually a bit closer than the Res Inn (e.g., two minutes or so)
21:34
I've had friends stay there before
21:34
seemed nice enough
21:35
about five minutes away from my old Nextel office
21:37
so, we'll plan to meet you at the hotel 8:30-9:00pm or so
21:47
<jammcq>
sounds like a plan
21:51
<petre>
cool! see ya then
21:51
gotta run
