hey there, is there an how-to to get things up and running with ltsp and ubuntu 7?
03:54

!quickinstall

Paul_UK: yeah, that.
03:55
<Paul_UK>
lol, my beef is, on the ubuntu server page, it looks to me, its saying its already installed. im guessing its not.
03:55
<vagrantc>
"ubuntu server page" ?
03:55
<Paul_UK>
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/serveredition
03:56
Hmm, maybe they should have offered LTSP as part of the installing process, as they have DNS and LAMP. oh well.
03:57fernando1 has joined #ltsp

<vagrantc>
well, just a couple weeks ago, we were talking about how to integrate LTSP into ubuntu server at the ubuntu developer summit ...
03:58
<Paul_UK>
oh crap, now its saying starting dhcp server, i already have one heh
03:58
<vagrantc>
but as i understand it, it's currently no more integrated into ubuntu server than plain ol ubuntu
03:58
<Paul_UK>
right
04:01* vagrantc notes that the ubuntu server edition tries to capitalize on debian's reputation for stability while ubuntu desktop doesn't even mention debian
04:02
<Paul_UK>
well i just think there is no current centos distribution. its one that im using here.
04:02
<vagrantc>
centos distrubution of what?
04:03
<Paul_UK>
ltsp
04:03
or status or whatever lol, sorry need more coffee. not really wake
04:03
<vagrantc>
ah yes. thus far only ubuntu and debian for LTSP 5 ... so far
04:04
always looking for folks from other distros to fix that, of course :)
04:04
<Paul_UK>
well, if i can get it working and the pilot seems to go well. i will give it a go. i'll be rolling out 50 thin clients in a call center environment.

Hello all from Spain
04:17
Hola a todos desde España
04:17
<vagrantc>
buenos dias
04:18
<envite>
buenos días vagrantc
04:18
<dberkholz>
i wish i spent all day working on ltsp5
04:18
instead i got to fix a totally broken build system in a scientific program, and unbundle another one
04:18
<vagrantc>
yo no tengo teclado de í :(
04:19
<dberkholz>
but on the bright side, the unbundling clears up licensing issues so we can GPL it later
04:20
<vagrantc>
good good
04:21
<envite>
bueno, vagrantc, no es tan grave ;)
04:22
I used to have a knote or a text file in my desktop with all spanish special characters, to copy-paste with the mouse, when I worked on american computers
04:22
<vagrantc>
heh
04:23
yeah, i need that
04:23
<dberkholz>
compose key..
04:23
<vagrantc>
?
04:24
i know there's some way to configure key combinations...
04:24
<dberkholz>
compose, i + `
04:24
where compose key is controlled by xorg.conf something like Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu" in the keyboard section
04:25
probably setxkbmap -option "compose:menu" if you want to change without restarting X
04:26
then hit menu, i, ` to get an i with grave
04:26* vagrantc has no "menu" key
04:26
<dberkholz>
there are other options
04:26
<f3ew>
meta
04:26
<dberkholz>
compose:rwin compose:rctrl compose:ralt etc
04:28* vagrantc has no luck
04:29
<vagrantc>
`
04:29
<dberkholz>
oh you've gotta have utf8 properly set up all the way through too
04:29
<vagrantc>
well, i've got that
04:29
<dberkholz>
readline-5, screen, irssi is what i need
04:29
<vagrantc>
well ... i don't know what "all the way is"
04:30
<dberkholz>
all with their own bits
04:30
well, readline you just need >=5, no config needed.
04:31* vagrantc suspects something amiss with the setxkbmap
04:32
<dberkholz>
try setxkbmap -print and see if it shows up
04:32
<vagrantc>
didn't show up, no
04:32
<dberkholz>
guess it didn't get in there, then.
04:33* vagrantc can't read
04:34
<vagrantc>
so, it was in there.
04:34
but now it's really screwed up
04:34
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+us+compose(menu)+compose(rctrl)"};
04:34
<dberkholz>
heh, you've got 2 compose keys. nice.
04:34
<vagrantc>
one of which i don't even have
04:35
though at one point, it was just ... xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+us+compose(rctrl)"};
04:35
but it still didn't work
04:35
<dberkholz>
shouldn't affect your ability to use the other one
04:35
how about a different combo, like rctrl, o, /
04:35
should give that norse o with a slash through it
04:36
note those are not pressed at the same time but in sequence
04:36
<vagrantc>
no dice.
04:36
<envite>
¿how do you use compose?
04:36
<dberkholz>
Ãdoes it work in a terminal outside of irc?
04:36
<envite>
because it's not supossed to be pressed while you press the letter, but before
04:37
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: i'm trying in rxvt-unicode
04:37
<dberkholz>
one would hope that could handle it without too much effort
04:38
i'm just using gnome-terminal
04:38
<vagrantc>
the interesting thing is ... it doesn't print any character when i do it ... so it's obviously trying to do something
04:38
<dberkholz>
that sounds like you might not have utf8 working properly for it
04:38
<vagrantc>
hrm.
04:39
utf8 works for everything else...
04:39
<dberkholz>
another option is you have a font missing those chars
04:39
<vagrantc>
or at least, i have no trouble reading utf8 characters
04:39
<dberkholz>
more likely with bitmap fonts than ttf/type1
04:39
can you see e.g. ø
04:39
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: looks like an A with a ~ on top
04:40
<dberkholz>
one of us must be in iso8859-1 instead of utf8
04:40
er, 8559-1, whatever
04:40
<envite>
well
04:40
<vagrantc>
locale spits out en_US.UTF-8
04:40
<Q-FUNK>
ÃĀ
04:41
<envite>
I am in UTF-8
04:41
and this ? is a inverted question mark
04:41
sorry
04:41
this ¿
04:41
<Q-FUNK>
¿
04:41
<dberkholz>
heh, looks like it's probably my irc that's screwy.
04:41
<envite>
dberkholz: can be
04:42
<dberkholz>
brb
04:42dberkholz has quit IRC
04:42
<envite>
most irc clients are codechar configurable independently of the locale
04:42dberkholz has joined #ltsp
04:42
<envite>
because you must cope not with user, but with peers
04:42
so, i tipically use utf-8 in freenode but 8859-15 in Irc-Hispano
04:42
<Q-FUNK>
Я тебя хочу
04:43
<envite>
cool russian lettes :)
04:43

04:43

ok, back to LTSP hacking... :)

04:43
<dberkholz>
ø
04:43
<envite>
hehehehehehhe
04:43
<dberkholz>
is that a norse o-slash?
04:43
<envite>
i see that
04:44
<Q-FUNK>
yup
04:44
<dberkholz>
good. screen -U for the win
04:44
<Q-FUNK>
äöüæøœå
04:44
<dberkholz>
anyhow, i highly recommend getting compose keys working, it's a lot more logical than the somewhat arbitrary other way of typing special chars
04:44
<vanya>
ну тоді і з України привіт :)
04:44
<dberkholz>
with level3 shifts
04:45
<Q-FUNK>
добро
04:45
amazing how southern slavic ended up with real i, compared to russian and bulgarian
04:45
<vagrantc>
ah, tasty screen -U
04:46
i can use screen on the console again
04:47
<dberkholz>
weird, i need to pass -U even when reconnecting

jammcq: good morning... How do you do?
07:47
<jammcq>
hey Guaraldo
07:47
<cliebow>
jammcq!!!
07:48
<Guaraldo>
jammcq: I'm having some trouble with keyboard change on clients... Let me explain:
07:51ufo has quit IRC
07:51ufo has joined #ltsp
07:51
<Guaraldo>
clients have 3 kind of keyboard: us(intl), br(intl) and abnt2.
07:51
but, as keyboads get broken very often, it can change for each client...
07:52
so, jammcq, we made an script to change the keyboad, and it used to work very well on LTSP 4.1...
07:53
<vagrantc_>
change the keyboard on boot?
07:54
<Guaraldo>
vagrantc_: No... after login...
07:54
<vagrantc_>
ah
07:54
doesn't work anymore?
07:54
<Guaraldo>
it's a little command: setxkbmap -model abnt2 -layout br -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY
07:55
vagrantc_: that's the problem... after upgrading to LTSP 4.2, the xkbcomp drop client X...
07:56
<vagrantc_>
oh, upgrading *to* 4.2 ...
07:56
<Guaraldo>
vagrantc_: It was LTSP 4.1
07:56
<vagrantc_>
got it
07:56
i was thinking it was a 4.2 -> 5 issue ... i'm off the hook :)
07:57
<Guaraldo>
Ok... thanks, vagrantc_...
07:57
<vagrantc_>
thanks for passing the buck? :)
07:58
<Guaraldo>
vagrantc_: Thanks to listen... :-D
07:58
<vagrantc_>
hopefully it works when you get around to upgrading to LTSP 5 :)
07:59
Guaraldo: what distro are your servers running?
07:59* vagrantc_ wonders if it's an XFree86 / X.org incompatibility
07:59
<Guaraldo>
vagrantc_: Ubuntu...
07:59
<vagrantc_>
probably not, then.
08:03
<Guaraldo>
vagrantc_: Not only drop client's X, but you can't type anything else... You must reboot client to get back to control...
08:03
<vagrantc_>
a significant useability issue, yes.
08:06
<Guaraldo>
jammcq: any idea?
08:07* Guaraldo is a kind of lost...
08:09
<Guaraldo>
I thought could be the xkbcomp binary... changed it by the LTSP version... It was a bad idea... it locked the client at all...
08:09
got back to the ubuntu version...

Hey there!
09:21
How's it going?
09:22
Man, that Jan Kunder's been keeping me busy in the mailing list :)
09:23
He sorta forgot to mention a vital piece of info right at the beginning: that his chroot was installed in /opt/ltsp-500-blah-blah, and not /opt/ltsp
09:24
the ltsp-build-chroot script uses export BASE=${BASE:-/opt/ltsp}
09:24
<rjune-isis>
doh
09:24
<sbalneav>
We should probably do the same thing for ltsp-update-sshkeys, and ltsp-update-kernels as well.
09:24
<vagrantc_>
i really need to start preparing for my LTSP talk at debconf7
09:25
<sbalneav>
Then we could tell people: if you want to maintain/install other than /opt/ltsp, BASE=/opt/ltsp-blah-blah ltsp-update-sshkeys, etc.
09:25
<vagrantc_>
yes.
09:26
<sbalneav>
5 minutes for some slides, that's all you need :)
09:26
<vagrantc_>
i slowly worked some of those hooks in, but it's been a slow process of variabalizing hard-coded values
09:26
<sbalneav>
I could take a look at some of those.
09:26
<vagrantc_>
please do! :)
09:27
maybe we should drop commandline options for that stuff entirely, and require a configuration file instead, as the configuration needs to stay even after you've run the command.
09:28
sbalneav: now the talk is coming closer ... i don't even know what to say exactly.

09:34
<sbalneav>
yep
09:36
<ogra>
mumble, i still cant get the e2300 faster than 113 secs
09:37
the last thng that gained me 10 secs (and got me usplash back) is forcing the sisfb modul to load
09:40
<jammcq>
ogra: have you tried the different scheduler yet?
09:40* ogra wonders why it loads the pci htplug modules
09:40
<ogra>
*hotplug
09:41
jammcq, yes, the anticipatory scheduler is only minimally faster 3-5 secs
09:41
<jammcq>
bummer
09:41* jammcq was hoping for a magic bullet
09:41
<ogra>
the boost i saw on the classmate seems not to happen on the e2300
09:42
<vagrantc_>
probably network is not as big of a deal as on a USB device
09:42
<ogra>
yeah, indeed
09:43
<ogra-classmate>
http://www.phys.ethz.ch/~abe/MicroClientJr/ he seems to be quite happy with it booting from a local disk
09:43
and etchs kernel
09:44
i could build a squashfs from the chroot, but that will have other speed issues so its not really comparable

sbalneav: How do you do, man?
09:54
<sbalneav>
Delving into the mysteries of select(2) :)
09:54
<Guaraldo>
sbalneav: I'm having some trouble with keybord selection after login on LTSP 4.2 over Ubuntu dapper...
09:55
<jammcq>
select(2) is a wonderful system call. /me has done LOTS of select() programming
09:55
<sbalneav>
Yep, lots of fun.
09:56
Guaraldo: I think, if I remember correctly, ltsp 4.2 had some problems with the keyboard files it shipped with.
09:56
jammcq: You remember something about this?
09:56
There was something we had to do. Hmmmm....
09:56* sbalneav thinks
09:57
<Guaraldo>
sbalneav: On LTSP4.1 we used this command line to change: setxkbmap -model abnt2 -layout br -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY
09:58
It used to work very well... on LTSP4.2 it gives me many warning messages then drop client's X and block keyboard...
09:59
<sbalneav>
Yeah, hmm
09:59
ummm, check the ltsp-discuss mailing list archives, I think someone solved this.
09:59
Crumb, can't for the life of me remember what it was.
10:00* Guaraldo is searching...

<sbalneav>
There was something with the compiled keymaps
10:39
had something to do with xkbcomp
10:39
<jammcq>
i'm thinking that was long before 4.2
10:39
like 4.0

12:15
<Gadi>
ack
12:15
so...
12:16
is this a true statement: if the USB stick is plugged in on boot, feistyLTSP won't see it until it is unplugged and replugged to generate the udev event?
12:16
<sbalneav>
Well,
12:17
it SHOULDN'T be a true statement
12:17
when udev starts, it should enumerate everything that's in the box.
12:17
so if it's NOT doing that, I'd expect it's a bug.
12:18
<Gadi>
does it get covered under the delayted_mount code you have?
12:18
<sbalneav>
Now, is UDEV not seeing it, or is it that the LTSP scripts are being fired when things aren't plumbed enough to work.
12:18
It should, yeah
12:18
<Gadi>
ok
12:18
I havent investigated too much, just playing with some things and wanted to know what to expect
12:18
<sbalneav>
I mean, it works for IDE cdroms which is pretty much the same thing.
12:18
so if it's not working for usb sticks, that's a problem.
12:19powernet has quit IRC
12:19
<Gadi>
ok
12:19
no complaints, I take it yet
12:19
<sbalneav>
Not that I've heard.
12:19
Are you complaining? :)
12:19
<Gadi>
nope
12:19
<sbalneav>
Then no, I've heard nothing :)
12:19
<Gadi>
:)
12:19
youve tested with USB cdroms, right?
12:20* sbalneav wipes brow
12:20
<sbalneav>
whew
12:20
<Gadi>
so that should be the same
12:20
<sbalneav>
yep
12:20
we did.
12:20
yeah
12:20
<Gadi>
because you prolly had a cd in the cdrom on boot
12:20
tho, I suppose that has the whole cdpinger thing
12:20
i dunno
12:20
<sbalneav>
yeh
12:20
<Gadi>
i guess i'll jump over that bridge when I get to it ;)

What was the bet yesterday?

12:22powernet has joined #ltsp
12:22
<Gadi>
someone had the ole I get bounced to the login screen when I try to login on a fresh install
12:23
my bet was that he did not have ltspfs installed
12:23
which he did not
12:23
but, I didnt see the resolution
12:23
<powernet>
hi, i've problem with local devices
12:23
<Gadi>
on Feisty, the ssh keys are usually taken care of
12:24
but, it also sets localdev by default, even if the server has no ltspfs
12:24
which can cause the login to barf
12:24
in my experience
12:24
powernet: what version of LTSP? and what problem?

12:34
<Gadi>
are the users part of the "fuse" group?
12:34
<powernet>
yse
12:35
yes
12:35
wich daemon take care of the usbstik in local thin client ?
12:36
<Gadi>
its a combination of things, but before you check daemons: do you have LOCALDEV=True in lts.conf?
12:36
<powernet>
yes LOCALDEV = Y
12:37
sorry =True
12:37
and LOCAL_STORAGE=Y
12:38
<Gadi>
you should only need LOCALDEV=True
12:38
for LTSP5
12:38
<powernet>
ok i remove LOCAL_STORAGE
12:39
<Gadi>
on the server, try: lsmod|grep fuse
12:40
<powernet>
done
12:40
<Gadi>
make sure the module is loaded
12:40
<sbalneav>
powernet: Before we go any further, what distro are you using?
12:40
<powernet>
yes it's loaded
12:40
ubuntu 7.04
12:42
both the server and the client have same name (hostname) it's normal ?
12:47
<sbalneav>
Yes, should be normal
12:47
Could you paste the lts.conf file you're using to the pastebot?
12:47
!pastebot
12:47
<ltspbot`>
sbalneav: "pastebot" is The LTSP pastebot is at http://pastebot.ltsp.org. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebot, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. A link to the content will be pasted in the channel.

13:02
for removable media
13:02
<powernet>
usbstick
13:02
but same for cdrom or floppy
13:02
<Gadi>
do you know if it is partitioned?
13:02
ah
13:02
<powernet>
if i mount it it's ok on local
13:03
<Gadi>
should be fine
13:03
<powernet>
on desktop i've icon of server devices only
13:06
what process need to be up in server and client ?
13:06
(for remote mounting)
13:07
<Gadi>
if you add: SCREEN_07=ldm and SCREEN_02=shell to lts.conf and reboot the terminal, you can switch to the shell on ctrl-alt-f2
13:07
that can help troubleshoot
13:07
<powernet>
i can switch now with ctrl-alt-f1
13:08
working

you shouldnt
13:08

i've add sudo passwd

13:08

ah, ok
13:09
check for ltspfsd
13:09
on the client
13:09
<powernet>
on client ?
13:09
ok
13:09
<Gadi>
also check that on the client, you have folders created in /var/run/drives/
13:09
<Blinny>
Of the thin-clients at disklessworkstations.com, which ones use an accelerated server and don't require the install of any special settings/software?
13:11
<powernet>
ltspfsd is up with -a param and in /var/run/driver have floppy cdrom and usbfloppy-sda1
13:11
sorry floppy0
13:13
all the dir are empty
13:13
<Gadi>
thats correct
13:13
<powernet>
good
13:14
<Gadi>
ok, after you login through ldm and are at your desktop, open a terminal window and type: ls /media
13:14
<powernet>
gdm is the same ?
13:14
(gnome env)
13:14
<Gadi>
you're not using gdm - the login screen is called "ldm" and is running locally (just looks like gdm)
13:14
;)
13:16
<powernet>
:) ok the /media have cdrom0 floppy0 sdb1 and ubuntu7.04 (server devices i think)
13:17
<Gadi>
hmm
13:18
no subdirectories under /media?
13:18
what is your username?
13:18
<powernet>
yes all this are subdirectory
13:18
alex
13:19
.hal-mtab is referred to ubuntu cdrom
13:20
<Gadi>
ls -a /tmp/.alex*
13:21
on the server
13:21
<powernet>
are floppy0 and usbfloppy-sda1 dir
13:22
may be client devices this
13:22
<Gadi>
those should be
13:22
yes
13:23
<powernet>
mmm good
13:23
<Gadi>
but, you should also have a /media/alex folder
13:23
<powernet>
check
13:23
no
13:23
<cliebow>
yeas?
13:24
<powernet>
no
13:24
nothing
13:24
who create this ?
13:24
<Gadi>
when you login through ldm, a script called ltspfsmounter is called
13:25
<powernet>
ok i check if it is
13:25
<Gadi>
which creates the dirs in /tmp, in media, and connects everything back to the client
13:25gentgeen__ has joined #ltsp

try: cat /proc/mounts|grep ltspfs
13:25

13:25
<Gadi>
you should have an ltspfs mount
13:25
on the server
13:25
if not, then the ltspfs mount failed for some reason
13:26

aren't
13:26

hi how do i uninstall ltsp5 and install ltsp 4.2?
17:46
or they can live toghether?
17:47
<Burgundavia>
why would you want to do that?
17:47
<jammcq>
yes, they can live together
17:47
<pablo_>
because ltsp5 is so much slow. ltsp4.2 was much faster in terms of speed.
17:47
<jammcq>
when you go to install ltsp-4.2, just tell it to install in a different location, like /opt/ltsp-4.2
17:47
<pablo_>
booting clients in 4.2 took 22 secs
17:47
in ltsp5 takes more than a minute
17:48
jammcq: and after that i only have to edit dhcp.conf? is that ok??
17:49
or do i need to make any other changes?
17:49irule has quit IRC
17:50
<jammcq>
pablo_: you'll need to also have entries for both in your /etc/exports file
17:52
<pablo_>
the install/configure process of 4.2 will do that for me or ill have to edit it myself?
17:53
<jammcq>
it will, but when it's done, you'll want to make sure you still have the path for the ltsp-5 directory
