what can i try, it could be permission problem?
02:58
or what ???
02:59
<vagrantc>
well, seeing as i use a us keymap, which is usually the default, i've never had to mess with the issue personally, so i really don't have much experience with it.
03:00
Barni: however, there are other people in this channel, so be patient.

03:02
<vagrantc>
daya: no need to be so formal :P
03:02
<daya>
vagrantc, how can I manage the login banner,
03:03
vagrantc, no just ,
03:04
vagrantc, I mean how to change the login greeiting in the client system,
03:04
<vagrantc>
daya: what do you mean by greeting ?
03:04
daya: the login screen ?

<vagrantc>
daya: look in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes
03:10
<daya>
vagrantc, do I need to install cups in /opt/ltsp/i386 for printer, or something,
03:10
<vagrantc>
daya: add your own theme to that directory ... and use update-alternatives to update /etc/alternatives/ldm-theme
03:10
daya: this is debian sid ?
03:11bobby_C has joined #ltsp
03:11
<daya>
vagrantc, no etch
03:11
<vagrantc>
daya: you'll have to configure it all manually at the moment.
03:12
daya: should have a backport of the newer ltsp for etch in a few wees
03:12
weeks
03:18
<daya>
vagrantc, you mean for printer or themes manual configuratin
03:19
<vagrantc>
daya: there is no support for printers in etch.
03:20
<daya>
vagrantc, ye,
03:20
<vagrantc>
daya: you can configure your own themes as described above.

<daya>
vagrantc, is there any way that u can do to manage printer in etch for ltsp 5.0
04:34
<vagrantc>
daya: you can install and configure any package available in debian.
04:34
daya: but there are no instructions for doing so at this point.
04:35
<daya>
vagrantc, if I go LTSP 4.2 and etch , does it support printer
04:35
?
04:35
<vagrantc>
daya: search on wiki.ltsp.org
04:35
<daya>
vagrantc, since we are going to implement it in remote schools, printer and sound are most essential for us,
04:36
<vagrantc>
daya: have you gotten sound working?
04:36
<daya>
vagrantc, no I am still facing trouble, any audio played in clinet gets heard in server,
04:37
vagrantc, I have done almost everything u guys instruct me,
04:38
<vagrantc>
unfortunately, i am unable to actually set up a real ltsp environment to test on, or i'd try it out and fix it
04:39
in a few days, i should have a backport ready, which should be easier to set up the way ubuntu does it (pulseaudio + alsa)
04:39
and it will also have the same printer support ubuntu has
04:39
<daya>
vagrantc, ok
04:39
<vagrantc>
but i still won't be able to test it
04:39
<daya>
vagrantc, and best of luck,
04:39
<vagrantc>
and a few days may turn into a few weeks
04:40
<daya>
wish u al best
04:40
<vagrantc>
daya: same to you
04:41
daya: so what are you going to try ?
04:44
daya: actually, you could grab the packages from debian-edu ... they should have printer support
04:46
daya: though struggling with sound support is going to be no better.
04:51gonzaloaf has joined #ltsp
04:51
<vagrantc>
daya: if you want the debian-edu packages, they can be found here: ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux/pool/local/l/ltsp
04:52
daya: most recent version is 0.99debian12+0.0.edu.etch.4
04:55
daya: but you'll also need to tell it to use those packages when building the LTSP chroot

Hello all from Spain!
05:07
<cliebow_>
ignoraance is bliss..and i am very happy..
05:08
<Envite>
hey, I've just installed a LTSP/Xen system
05:08
<vagrantc>
Envite: reaally?
05:09
<Envite>
I want to start using it in real classroom work to write a well-founded report
05:09
vagrantc: yes
05:09
<vagrantc>
Envite: just the server?
05:09
<Envite>
ltsp itself in a xen machine, home directories in another xen machine, and desktops in a third xen machine, all over the same iron machine
05:10
<vagrantc>
nice
05:11
Envite: still haven't jumped on the LTSP 5.0 bandwagon, i suppose ...
05:17
<cliebow_>
we need to jump to ltsp certificaation..or at least a course..
05:18
<vagrantc>
maybe so.
05:18
though we also need to make things "just work" better.
05:18
i wish i would have had more time to get sound working in debian
05:19
sound, local devices ...
05:19
<cliebow_>
sound and sound..and sound...
05:19
<Envite>
vagrantc: you suposse well
05:19
<cliebow_>
it is so dicey in 4.2..it works..but the delay really botheres stuff like united streaming
05:19
<daya>
vagrantc, ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux/pool/local/l/ltsp doesn't have anythng
05:20
<Envite>
we're using Kiosk mode to get sound wotking in KDE
05:20
<vagrantc>
daya: try: http://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux/pool/local/l/ltsp/
05:21
daya: i don't know why, but sometimes it shows empty. i have this problem too.
05:22
<daya>
vagrantc, yes I found in 2nd link,
05:34
vagrantc, I also have flickering problem in client
05:35
<vagrantc>
daya: like the screen flickers?
05:35
<daya>
vagrantc, yes,
05:35
<vagrantc>
daya: and it only flickers when you run LTSP ?
05:35
<daya>
vagrantc, but only on login screen,
05:35
<vagrantc>
daya: when you login it's fine?
05:36
<daya>
vagrantc,yes when I change the resolution
05:36
<vagrantc>
daya: how do you change the resolution?
05:36
<daya>
vagrantc, by the gnome utilities,
05:36
vagrantc, change the resolution,
05:36
<vagrantc>
daya: you change it from what to what ?
05:37
<daya>
vagrantc, :D, I change the screen resolution in clent after I get login into it,
05:37
<vagrantc>
daya: yes, i understand that ....
05:37
<daya>
1024 to 640
05:38
but interesting
05:38
when I go back to 1024 its also work fine,
05:38
but as soon as I logout, I flickrs in login window,
05:39
I-->it
05:39
vagrantc, the link consists of a lot of packages which packages should I use,
05:40
<vagrantc>
well, you can mess with X_HORZSYNC, X_VERTREFRESH, X_MODE_0, X_MODE_1, etc ...
05:40
daya: i told you the version
05:41
<daya>
oh, :sorry,
05:41
<vagrantc>
daya: though you should be fine just grabbing the newest ltsp-client package
05:41
well, you can mess with X_HORZSYNC, X_VERTREFRESH, X_MODE_0, X_MODE_1, etc ... in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
05:43bobby_C has quit IRC
05:43
<vagrantc>
daya: if it's screen flickering, you probably have to tweak X_HORZSYNC and/or X_VERTREFRESH

05:49* vagrantc figures out why the ltsp progress bar stuff wasn't working
06:00
<cliebow_>
cool!
06:00
<vagrantc>
that doesn't guarantee i figure out how to fix it
06:01
<cliebow_>
you haave the power..
06:01
<vagrantc>
well, we always knew why it wasn't working ... the vast majority of the time is spent on a single command
06:02
but my latests attempts to improve it ... i just figured out why that wasn't working ...
06:02
<cliebow_>
that in c?
06:03
<vagrantc>
don't know yet.
06:05
it's the "in-target" debian-installer script ... it grabs all the output of whatever command you run it in ... which makes hard to parse the output of the command :)

07:28
<str4nd>
:o
07:29
<Barni>
what is ogra?
07:29
<vagrantc>
ogra probably knows ubuntu better than most...
07:29
<Barni>
but i have fedora
07:30
<vagrantc>
which is why ogra wouldn't be a good person to recommend how to fix your problem.
07:36
<ogra>
heh, right :)
07:36
Barni, in ubuntu and debian we can easily define te default system session, dont you have a way in fedors to do that as well ?
07:36

ogra: been struggling to improve the progress bar in ltsp-client-builder ... but no luck.
07:43Blinny has quit IRC
07:44
<vagrantc>
ogra: i think i figured out something that would work, except "in-target" steals all of ltsp-build-client's output
07:44
<ogra>
vagrantc, its pretty tricky but should be doable i'll look up th eother installer code
07:44
yeah
07:45
you have to create a fifo and redirect the in-target output
07:46rafaelcardoso has joined #ltsp
07:47* vagrantc tries with chroot /target instead of in-target
07:47
<vagrantc>
then i can at least figure out if my idea works ...
07:47
<ogra>
dont do that
07:47
ah, k
07:47
<vagrantc>
well, i wouldn't commit it :P
07:47
<ogra>
but its not proper for the installer
07:47
<rafaelcardoso>
hi people, I have a little trouble with mouse sensitivity, mouse with 1200 dpi, its very fast, how to slow it?
07:48
using rdesktop script

vagrantc, Bug #395145 smels like a race condition with your udev, the link up message is from mii tool afaik
08:21
that would at least explain why ubuntu users dont seem to see it
08:21* vagrantc has never seen it on debian either
08:24
<vagrantc>
it seems like it magically went away for the original reporter, and then all of the sudden this other problem came along (the one i finally got a fix in initramfs-tools for)

ogra: in your testing of the Xorg7.3, did you happen to notice if the chipset for the 1220 was auto-detected ?
09:42
<ogra>
nope it was still vesa
09:42
the e2300 was autodetected and the 150 and 170 as well
09:42
i think you will still need a working driver for it first ;)
09:43
(it wont associate with via since the driver doesnt support the chip)

ah
09:48

(which you would have to do inside the chroot )
09:48

but at least it's possible
09:49
<ogra>
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome
09:49
i run it on the feisty chroot with that driver
09:49
its not significantly faster than vesa, but gives you stuff like xv support etc

jammcq: Any known problems w/ video on those 1225's? I received & fired my tester up today and all videos are a dark green, through both mplayer and totem.
09:56
<ogra>
Blinny, thats because you are missing xv support with the vesa driver
09:56
try x11 or sdl for the output
09:57
or follow the guide i just pasted above to compile the driver inside the chroot

can you set SCREEN_02 = shell

Hi people, could you please give me short heads up: I had some custom screen.d/ files that started e.g. rdesktop locally on the client. Now I want/need to switch to ltsp5.0 and I'm at a loss

but that should be the default anyway unless redhat does somehing weird

how do I go about not starting ldm or sdm but only a single x session with one app in it, no windowmanager
10:05
<ogra>
puetz, locally ?
10:05
<Blinny>
Kernel is 2.6.17.9-ltsp-1
10:05
<puetz>
yes
10:06
I just need that one app running in it's own X-server
10:06
<ltsppbot>
"lambda" pasted "No time to debug ? :)" (5 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/170
10:06
<Blinny>
ogra: Is there a 'default flags' for mplayer or totem that will print their defaults?
10:06
<ogra>
puetz, you could write something into rc.local
10:06
<puetz>
uh, how is that then being referenced by lts.conf?
10:06
<jammcq>
Blinny: I put an updated kernel 2.6.20 in the ltsp repository on friday
10:06
<ogra>
Blinny, i dont know, sorry, but by defualt mplayer tries xv afaik
10:06
<Blinny>
~/.mplayer/gui.conf reads vo_driver = "xv"
10:06
<jammcq>
you might try running ltspadmin and seeing if it shows the updated kernel
10:07
<ogra>
puetz, RC_FILE iirc, look in the parameter doc
10:07
<Blinny>
jammcq: Does that kernel change affect this xserver?
10:07
<puetz>
before, I had e.g. SCREEN_01=rdesktop in lts.conf and that started the stuff in screen.d which then started rdesktop.wrapper
10:07
<Blinny>
jammcq: Historically I've just used kernels when Eric puts them in the k12 repo
10:07
<puetz>
ogra, thx, will do now
10:07
<ogra>
puetz, well, it should still work the same
10:08
we use most of the 4.2 screen.d scripts
10:08
<puetz>
no, 4.2 used XF86CONFIG.1 in /tmp/ and the new one uses xorg.conf in /etc/X11...
10:08
<ogra>
any probs with that ?
10:08
you talked about the screen scripts, not about the X server config
10:09
<puetz>
it simply didn't start, I guess the x-prepare thingies didn't start or somethign...
10:09
<ogra>
just copy your script to /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/
10:09
there is no such thing
10:09
<puetz>
I did. didn't work
10:09
<ogra>
the xserver gets configured from the ltsp-client-setup script
10:09
which is run as the first thing in the bootprocess after the modules were loaded
10:10parsley has quit IRC
10:10
<puetz>
before, if I see it correctly, every screen.d/ script generated it's on XF86CONFIG.1 script and used that to start the xserver
10:10
<ogra>
so at the point you are starting your screen script X is configured since ages
10:10
i dont think so
10:10
<puetz>
one sec
10:11
<ogra>
are yu sure you did install rdesktop in the chroot ?
10:11
<puetz>
yes
10:11
in the old 4.2 screen.d/rdesktop script I had this: XFCFG=/tmp/XF86Config.${TTY}
10:11
# Setup the XF86Config file
10:11
#
10:11
XSERVER=${XSERVER:-"auto"}
10:11
<ogra>
yes, that points to the default config
10:11
<puetz>
...
10:11
and so on
10:12
<ogra>
but doesnt generate anything
10:12
<Blinny>
mplayer does do xv but complains that 'Shared memory not supported. Reverting to normal Xv'
10:12
<puetz>
XSERVER=`/sbin/pci_scan /etc/vidlist`
10:12muh2000 has joined #ltsp
10:12
<ogra>
puetz, dont fiddle with the x server it has nothing to do with your problem
10:12
<puetz>
# Build the XF86Config file from entries in the lts.conf file
10:12
that was all in the old rdesktop file in screen.d
10:13
<ogra>
yes, all that isnt needed anyore
10:13
<puetz>
and worked like a charm since I need multiple xservers with one app each
10:13
<ogra>
you should be able to just start an amount of X servers you like with the autogenerated xorg.conf as well ...
10:13
<puetz>
for security (and simplicity) reasons I only started a xserver with one app in it
10:14
<ogra>
s/an/any/
10:14
<puetz>
yes, but I would have to re-work the rdesktop script massively
10:14
I tried exchanging the #XFCFG=/tmp/XF86Config.${TTY} -> XFCFG=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
10:14
didn't work
10:15
long story short: there are no more screen.d/ files except the ldm and sdm in current ltsp 5.0 (I used ubuntu 7.04)?

10:16
for me there are more
10:16
<puetz>
ok, I had only sdm and ldm IIRC
10:16
copied over the old ones now...
10:16
<ogra>
and if you tae the startx script and just put a call to rdesktop at the bottom it should simply work
10:16
<puetz>
yes, right!
10:17
I think that's the one I tweaked in the beginning!
10:17
thanks! I'll give this a try
10:17
<ogra>
apart from that i think Gadi hastweaked his rdesktop 4.2 scripts for ltsp5
10:17
*has tweaked
10:17
try to catch him here
10:18
he can surely give you some working script if your weak doesnt work

10:18
thx again!
10:19
<ogra>
no, it has some extra code in it for the ubuntu- x detection
10:19
actually the old cruft could go from that script ...
10:19
especially the Xfee86 crap we dont use anyway :)
10:19* ogra makes a note to clean that up for gutsy
10:19
<ogra>
<- break
10:20
<Blinny>
Oh grand.
10:20
mplayer works the first time on the video with '-vo xv' but subsequent ones are back to green screen & 'shared memory not supported - reverting to normal Xv'
10:24
<puetz>
Blinny, didn't follow completely, but when you do df , does it say /dev/shm there somewhere?

10:29
<puetz>
Blinny, the kernel has not much to do with xv output, the X driver for that card has to support XVideo. Older cards like e.g. s3virge don't have a large enough XV screen size
10:29
how large is that /dev/shm?
10:29
df -h please :)

did you look through the xorg.0.log? In there (in all that crappy output) there should be something written about the shared mem IIRC
10:39fernando1 has quit IRC
10:41
<Blinny>
puetz: I don't see anything about shared memory. I see videoram=32768 (which is weird b/c it's specifically set in the lts.conf file to be 16m)
10:43
<puetz>
Blinny, damn, at home I have an old s3virge card which I wanted to use in addition to the nvidia agp card and that said something about the shared mem size or at least the xv size it could use. There it was pretty useless, it was 36x1024 or so, totally weird
10:44
Blinny, I dunno the whole story, but with -vo x11 -zoom you get something similar, except the cpu has to do all the scaling...
10:47
Blinny, you read about part 3. in http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsispart1.shtml ? Maybe that's what you see?

14:59
heh
15:01
<jfrancis>
nmap shows 9100 as netbios, but 9101 as unknown
15:01
sorry, 9100 as jetdirect
15:01
<Gadi>
vagrantc: btw, I was thinking the other day about sbalneav's pet project - why not write the C ldm using the ssh headers and functions? we have the source
15:02
jfrancis: nmap just uses /etc/services to report that
15:02
its hardly authoritative
15:02
<jfrancis>
tried adding new line to /etc/services for 9101 for jetdirect (jetdirect 9101/tcp laserjet hplj) but didn't make a difference
15:02
<Gadi>
if 9101 is up, that means the daemon started
15:02
<vagrantc>
Gadi: that's ambitious ...
15:02* jammcq wonders what the benefit would be
15:02
<Gadi>
vagrantc: should be easier, no?
15:03Alexandre has quit IRC
15:03
<Gadi>
well, why write a c program to make a system call to another binary written in C and "expect" answers
15:03
when you can control the whole conversation
15:03
<jammcq>
umm
15:03
<vagrantc>
Gadi: it would require a more involved security review, i think. as we're using even less that's already time-tested.
15:03
<jammcq>
just for the password changing stuff?
15:03
<Gadi>
just a thought
15:03
then you wouldnt need to worry about translation
15:04* jammcq thinks the whole ldm/ssh thing should be replaced with network authentication anyway
15:04
<vagrantc>
the password changing stuff isn't part of ssh anyways
15:04
jammcq: what does that really change?
15:04
<Gadi>
I see the concern about code review
15:05
<jammcq>
vagrantc: umm, we'd have pam on the client side.
15:05
<vagrantc>
jammcq: so you authenticate locally with some sort of single-sign-on ?
15:05
<jammcq>
yeah, I think so
15:06
<Gadi>
kinda overkill, no?
15:06
<vagrantc>
network authentication != single sign on
15:06
<jammcq>
but it could
15:06
well, single signon is a different can of worms
15:07
<vagrantc>
single sign on would probably require network auth, but not the other way around
15:07
<jammcq>
but I think the thin client needs to know more about the user than it does
15:07
<Gadi>
unless you steal the pam configs from the server for the client
15:07
<jfrancis>
Gadi: changing to "U" did not phase it. What's strange is that the printer comes out of standby when I send a job, but won't print.
15:07
<Gadi>
jfrancis: but it works as lp0?
15:07
<jammcq>
I believe network auth + kerberos is what we will need for mounting home dirs for local apps
15:08
<Gadi>
why not ssh + sshfs?
15:08
<jfrancis>
Yes, both "S" and "U" options work for /dev/usb/lp0 on 9100
15:08
<jammcq>
sshfs doesn't provide the function call to return how much freespace is available. that's the reason we couldn't use it for local devices
15:08
<Gadi>
jfrancis: and you can print the job correctly?
15:08
<jfrancis>
yes
15:08
<jammcq>
which means nautilus and others will refuse to write files to that filesystem
15:09
<Gadi>
jammcq: who's gonna run nautilus as a local app?
15:09
<jammcq>
that's just an example
15:09
but I think firefox may also refuse to write
15:09
<Gadi>
I doubt it
15:09
<jammcq>
sshfs isn't complete and shouldn't be relied on for this use
15:09* vagrantc spent a long time reviewin tcos and got nowhere
15:09
<Gadi>
firefox can write to tmpfs and it doesnt report freespace either
15:10
<vagrantc>
tmpfs reports freespace
15:10
it's ramfs that doesn't
15:10
<Gadi>
how? tmpfs is dynamic
15:10
<vagrantc>
but it actually sets a limit, default is half of ram
15:11monteslu has joined #ltsp
15:11
<Gadi>
hmm
15:11
<jammcq>
sshfs is built on top of sftp, which doesn't have a command to retreive freespace
15:12
so that's kind of broken for us

Afternoon all
15:25
hey jammcq
15:25
<jfrancis>
I've read contradicting data for 2 USB printer support on LTSP. Some sources say that jetdirect only works on 9100, and that you have to use parallel for additional printer. LTSP docs specify that 9101, 9102 will be automatically accessible for second and third printers.
15:26
<jammcq>
jfrancis: baloney
15:26
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: ok, so jammcq was saying i should say "bon jour" to people in france. any other helpful tidbits?
15:26
<jammcq>
ltsp supports 3 printers. doesn't care whether they are USB, Parallel or serial, and by default, they'll use ports 9100, 9101 and 9102
15:27
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: Start all conversations with Bon Jour, end all conversations with "merci beaucoup", and smile.
15:27
Worked for us.
15:27
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: heh.
15:27
<jfrancis>
jammcq: yes, but I'm having heck :-/
15:29
<jammcq>
having heck? heh
15:29
bon jour vagrantc
15:29
<jfrancis>
currently, as shown on http://pastebot.ltsp.org/172 my Zebra points to 9100 and works, the Brother points to 9101 and only comes out of sleep mode light flashes, so some kind of connection is taking place, but no printing.
15:33
<jammcq>
hmm
15:34
and if you switch the 2 printers, does the brother work, and the zebra not ?
15:34
<jfrancis>
yes
15:34
jammcq: yes
15:34
<jammcq>
which version of LTSP ?
15:34
<jfrancis>
4.2
15:34
<jammcq>
hmm, should work fine. I've done lots of dual and triple printer setups
15:35
<jfrancis>
I 'hear' you.
15:37
yeah, i'm a little stumped. Googled like crazy before resorting to IRC.
15:38
Is there anything you would like to review to help determine possible problem?

i'll look at your paste entry
15:39
<jfrancis>
cool, thanks!
15:39
<jammcq>
oh, lemme see your lts.conf file
15:39Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp
15:40
<jammcq>
also, did you try telnetting to it: telnet whse001 9101
15:40
and then type some text and hit Ctrl-L to eject the page
15:40
<ltsppbot>
"jfrancis" pasted "jammcq: my lts.conf" (50 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/173
15:42
<jfrancis>
hehehe, telnet got handshake, but Ctrl-L not operative.
15:43a5benwillis has joined #ltsp
15:45
<jammcq>
odd
15:45
what about at a shell on the client, can you do something like: cat /etc/lts.conf >/dev/usb/lp1
15:46
<jfrancis>
had to 'kill' my telnet connection to the printer
15:47
shell redirect does not recognize either /dev/usb/lp0 or /dev/usb/lp1. I presume these only exist virtually on whse001 (thin client).
15:48dtrask has joined #ltsp
15:49
<jammcq>
jfrancis: I'm saying you should run that from a shell on the client. set SCREEN_02 = shell
15:49
and hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to that shell
15:50
<jfrancis>
ok, I'll be a minute, the client doesn't have shell access for security.
15:55
<joebaker>
jammcq: did you get the message I sent you last night on IRC.
15:55
<jammcq>
umm, nope
15:55
<joebaker>
There was a thin client at surpluscomputers.com for $24 that looks identical to the jammin 125
15:56
<jammcq>
ah, saw something on the mailing list about that
15:56
the st320 ?
15:56
<joebaker>
except of course it doesn't have your special bootup stuff in it.
15:56
Yes that sounds right ... you need the url?
15:56
<jammcq>
no
15:56
there's 2 models, the st320 and the st320e
15:56
the 320 uses a Disk-on-Chip
15:57
the 320e uses a IDE flash disk module
15:57
to re-program the 320, you need a DoC programmer.
15:58
<joebaker>
This was the st320e I think.
15:58

15:59
<jammcq>
the video chipset is horrible
15:59
<joebaker>
I saw it in an email bullitin that was sent in the wee early hours of Sunday AM.
15:59
<jammcq>
the GX1 is nothing but a pain, and don't expect it to work well with LTSP-5
16:00
<joebaker>
Well then there you have it.
16:00
<jammcq>
we stopped selling those things a long time ago, and i'm glad we did
16:00
<joebaker>
Dave Richards in Largo was selling a bunch of their thin clients. (upgrading to newer ones)
16:00
<jammcq>
these? or something else?
16:01
<joebaker>
Something else. Looking up his blog....

jammcq: when I was out in the warehouse saw that the telnet request you made worked, however cat /etc/lts.conf >/dev/usb/lp1 doesn't work from screen 2.
16:02
<jammcq>
telnet worked?
16:03
<joebaker>
http://davelargo.blogspot.com/
16:03
<jammcq>
cat might not work, cuz you have the print daemon running
16:03
<jfrancis>
yup.
16:03
<joebaker>
jammcq: hey see you later... I've got to prepare for our LUG meeting tonight. Thanks for the info on that machine.
16:04
<jammcq>
joebaker: those are useless with LTSP
16:04
they are just X terminals

I'll get with sbalneav tomorrow, and see if I can get something going
20:06
<fxrsliberty>
he was downloading it the last time I knew
20:14
jammcq: what is the future of K12LTSP? will it continue as an RPM distro or move to DEB
20:14
<jammcq>
you'd have to ask eHarrison
20:14
that's totally up to him
20:15
<fxrsliberty>
there is only one other rpm LTSP5 I can find "sysophus" it's Russian I think

I'm having trouble booting one of my thin clients
20:23
it hangs on "eth0: setting full duplex"
20:23
it started once
20:23
but not again
20:23
any suggestions?
20:25
<jammcq>

20:26
<lynn>
i have an edubuntu ltsp server and an old pc thin-client
20:27
i tried two different network cards in the old pc and neither worked
20:27
however I have other old pc's running as thin-clients successfully
20:29
it stopped working properly after I put a usb card in, but after taking it out it still doesn't work
20:31
<jammcq>
hmm
20:32
how are you booting? with Etherboot or PXE ?
20:34
<lynn>
i'm booting from the iso's i got from the rom-o-matic site. do you know which one of those that is?
20:35
<jammcq>
hmm
20:35
what kind of network card?
20:36
<lynn>
