hello guys, does anyone have any idea why a usb device wouldnt work on a ltsp client.
02:09
:)
02:17
<vagrantc>
skyion: which linux distro? which ltsp version?
02:23
<skyion>
ubuntu 7.10
02:23
ltsp v5
02:23
when you plug the device in it doesnt show on the dmesg
02:23
on the client console.
02:23
<vagrantc>
hm.
02:24
ubuntu 7.10 ... that's to be released .. october 2007 ? :P
02:30lambda_ has joined #ltsp
02:31
<skyion>
i mean 7.04
02:31
feisty :)
02:32
<vagrantc>
so, does this usb stick work on a regular ubuntu install ?
02:32
oh wait, i can't get involved in troubleshooting right now ...
02:32
long story
02:33
<skyion>
:|
02:37
ok, it shows up on the server dmesg
02:37
but not in gnome
03:08

<Paul_UK>
hey guys, as i understand it. LTSP is using X encrypted by SSH. Is there anyway to use NX protocol or VNC?
03:46
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: write a screen script that does it
03:47
Paul_UK: look in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d for examples
03:48
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc, thanks. but i take it thats a yes, but for vnc or nx?
03:48
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: yes.
03:49
gadi also probably already has some scripts ...
03:49
<Paul_UK>
i'll take it as a yes for both :)
03:49
<vagrantc>
right
03:49
<Paul_UK>
with both vnc and nx server, sound is still 2 way?
03:49
<vagrantc>
people have done both, as far as i'm aware.
03:50
no idea on the sound stuff
03:50
<Burgundavia>
hey vagrantc
03:51
how is spain?

ogra: debian-edu is etch-based.
04:26
ogra: that's why they use the esd stuff
04:27* vagrantc is still stuck in france :(
04:27
<ogra>
i just wanted to point out that it changed :)
04:27
gah
04:27
silly brits
04:27
<vagrantc>
they don't know what they're missing
04:27* ogra is done with the client side of nbd/union/squashfs
04:28
<ogra>
just need the server script for inetd and an update-image script
04:28
<vagrantc>
i'm getting the classic hand-off ... immagrations says i need a visa, and the UK embassy says i don't, so "just try again and be really convincing"
04:28
<ogra>
yeah, its very unlikely that you as american should need a visa for GB
04:29
<vagrantc>
if i try again, hopefully they don't lock me up or something ...
04:29
<ogra>
heh, for what ?
04:30
<vagrantc>
well, remember where i come from...
04:30envite has joined #ltsp
04:30
<ogra>
vagrantc, didnt you say you merged gadis directx stuff in mainline ?
04:30
i dont see it in my merge
04:30
<envite>
Hello all from Spain
04:30
Hola a todos desde España
04:31
<vagrantc>
ah spain, a language where i can stumble through the language!
04:31
er, country
04:31
not like france.
04:32
ogra: it's definitely present in vagrant-ltsp-mainline ...
04:32
<ogra>
vagrantc, also when does ltsp_config get read? can i abuse CONFIGURE_X to supress X detection ?
04:32
<vagrantc>
ogra: and it's present in gutsy-ltsp as of revision 348
04:32pere_away is now known as pere
04:32
<vagrantc>
ogra: i think CONFIGURE_X=False should disable X detection, yes.
04:33
<ogra>
oooh, blind me :)
04:33
even if X is installed ?
04:33
<vagrantc>
if not, it's a bug
04:33
<ogra>
ah, k
04:34
<vagrantc>
ogra: hrm.
04:34
ogra: doesn't look like you merged the ltsp_config stuff
04:34
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc, you coming to the UK, if you are america, you dont need a visa
04:34
<ogra>
wow, then i only need to change root_write_method for the nbd implementation
04:34
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: yeah, tell that the the UK border control
04:34
<ogra>
vagrantc, i just did
04:34
it isnt uploaded yet
04:34
<vagrantc>
ogra: ah.
04:35
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc, hehe.. when I goto the US, i *dont* need a visa. I use a visa waiver form and I am entitled to 3 months in the US.
04:35
its the same for americans coming here
04:35
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: yeah, well... i've been denied once already
04:35* vagrantc contemplates a second try
04:35
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc: how come
04:36
vagrantc: do you want to stay here more than 3months?
04:36
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: failure to provide any documentation other than a passport, pretty much
04:36
i think they thought i was gonna steal UK jobs, too.
04:36
<ogra>
vagrantc, so we will have nbd root, automatic nbd swap from initramfs if the client has less than 48M and the lts.conf via tftp
04:37
i wonder how to write the server side ... i'd like to have it as flexible as possible ...
04:37
<vagrantc>
ogra: regarding: if [ -z "$CONFIGURE_X" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/X ]; then
04:37
<ogra>
i.er. building the image name from root-path
04:37
and using the same oin the server indeed
04:37
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc: LOL, the polish, russians and everyone from Europe comes over to work here
04:39
vagrantc, if you coming here for under 3 months, you dont need a visa. just a passport and proof that you will be flying back within that time. its as simple as that, i dont care what anyone else would say.
04:39
i know, because i've been to the US 8 times now heh
04:40
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: well, tell that to the border control.
04:42
<ogra>
vagrantc, configure_printer should move to ltsp-client
04:42
from -setup
04:42
<vagrantc>
ogra: fine by me
04:42
<ogra>
it just slows down and we dont need it before X
04:43* vagrantc should probably not hang out in LTSP while trying to figure out what to do regarding getting into the UK
04:43
<Paul_UK>
have you checked the uk website?
04:43
<ogra>
hmm and if we could move ltsp-client a bit earlier we could also move the syslog.conf stuff
04:43
its annoying anyway that syslog starts befopre ldm
04:45
<Paul_UK>
LOL
04:45
vagrantc : http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/passports-and-immigration/visas/?view=Standard
04:45
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: well, here's the story... i show up at the border with no proof of much of anything, except a passport. when asked about documentation "it's on my computer".
04:45
<Paul_UK>
click on the link, under visas for coming to the uk
04:46
I chose, visitor/tourist and location and current location US.. it said, I dont need a visa
04:46
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: and when i asked them if i showed up tomorrow with the documentation, they said "no, you'll have to get a visa"
04:46
<Paul_UK>
On arrival in the UK you must satisfy an immigration officer that you qualify for entry to the United Kingdom as a visitor under the Immigration Rules.
04:46
Tell them, to go to that site.
04:46
<vagrantc>
yeah, where's the section that applies to "denied once, trying again" ? :P
04:47
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc, its easy. forget you have been denied.
04:47
<vagrantc>
Paul_UK: and erase the black mark on my passport ?
04:47
<Paul_UK>
tell them, that you were denied because the officer in question, didnt know his job and didnt look at the rules.
04:47
therefore it was a mistake for you to be denied
04:48
<vagrantc>
well, i'm not about to say that... but am considering going with documentation that should address all the concerns raised ...
04:48
concerns == reasons for refusal
04:48
<Paul_UK>
well, do that.. i suggest you get printouts from the link I gave you and tell them, on what grounds they should refuse you entry. I know, they dont have a leg to stand on
04:49
because i have known too many people, even here at work. that are from the US and travel regularly from here to there
04:49
<vagrantc>
the easiest place to go would be back to calais, but i'm thinking it would be better to try a different border than the one that refused me
04:52
<ogra>
just tell them you go there for a business meeting, if they ask give them the millbank tower address
04:53
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc, if you get a visa for france, then you'll be allowed entry into the uk.
04:54* vagrantc doesn't want any mention of business whatsoever
04:54
<ogra>
well, in the end it is a business meeting :)
04:54
<Paul_UK>
well as i said, you shouldnt be refused at all, if its holiday and under 3 months. i would start asking names of superiors.
04:54
<vagrantc>
ogra: that's probably why i was denied in the first place ...
04:55
<ogra>
because you said you come to do business ?
04:55
<vagrantc>
i think that's what made them think i needed to get a work visa
04:55
<ogra>
sigh
04:56
<vagrantc>
my plans for the moment are to just return to the US after debconf. i think adding in work-related stuff is way too risky.

07:06
what about k12ltsp ?
07:07Guaraldo has joined #ltsp
07:07
<ogra>
same
07:07
<Paul_UK>
lol ok
07:07
<ogra>
its redhat based
07:08
as long as nobody finishes off something for redhat, they are stuck with ltsp 4.x
07:08
<Paul_UK>
i guess that'll have to be until fedora 7 is out
07:08
<ogra>
i dont see anyone working on it yet ...
07:09
here were several attempts but nothing is finished ...
07:09
<Paul_UK>
shame, oh well
07:09
<ogra>
and i dont even think actively developed ...
07:10
<Paul_UK>
i guess you need to be a developer to know how to integrate it all?
07:10
<ogra>
roughly at least
07:11
you should know a bit about initramfs and scripting
07:11
<Paul_UK>
i know a little scripting (grin), but initramfs, no.
07:11
<ogra>
and about the way your distro bootstraps a basic image
07:14
<Paul_UK>
hmm, i wonder if anyone has gotten nx clients to boot via pxe with the free 2x thinclient server and then using ltsp for the terminal services.
07:14
<vagrantc>
if you're one of those people who is always too humble about your abilities, you could probably do it
07:15
<Paul_UK>
vagrantc, well as i like to say, everything is possible if you try. when all my projects come to fruition here, i dont think i'll even believe what came about here and all using oss.

09:20
<vagrantc>
ogra: nice :)
09:21
<ogra>
try it out
09:21
there is ltsp-update-image now
09:21
<vagrantc>
ogra: is the squashfs nbd-root stuff default, or just an option ?
09:21
<ogra>
just pushed the changes to the gutsy branch
09:21
its default in ubuntu
09:21
i want t get testing
09:21
*to
09:22
the speedup is so significant that i think we should default to it
09:22
and its the best way to get rifd of bindmounts and have unionfs finally

09:24
<ogra>
cool
09:24
<sbalneav>
OK
09:24
<ogra>
i've just pushed the change that makes squashfs via nbd wit unionfs the default
09:24killsalad has quit IRC
09:24
<sbalneav>
So, I got a branch. Just gotta upload it now.
09:24
<ogra>
lets see how crappy my scripts are :)
09:25
<cliebow_>
heh
09:26
<Gadi>
ogra: did you try d/ling lts.conf via tftp, too?
09:26
<ogra>
Gadi, yep
09:26
not *try*
09:26
<Gadi>
is that in there?
09:26
<ogra>
it does it now :)
09:26
<Gadi>
:)
09:26
excellent
09:26
<sbalneav>
ogra does his yoda impression
09:26
<ogra>
oh, wait ... that part isnt 100% done yet ... i need to determine the tftproot
09:27* ogra just noticed he forgot to clean the hardcoded playaround parts :)
09:27
<Gadi>
oops
09:27
<ogra>
sorry, it currently expects /ltsp/tribe1/lts.conf :)
09:27
<Gadi>
lol
09:28
<ogra>
if you want to test before my next upload :)
09:28
<Gadi>
sure - we prolly also need to change ltsp-update-*
09:28
<ogra>
no
09:28
<cliebow_>
how about zmodem
09:28
<ogra>
there is a new script
09:28
<Gadi>
ah
09:28
<ogra>
called ltsp-update-image
09:28
<Gadi>
nice
09:28
<ogra>
you need to call that after you changed the chroot
09:28
it will update everything ndb/squash related
09:29
<Gadi>
looks like launchpad is down
09:29
<ogra>
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ltsp/gutsy-ltsp works

rjune, !
09:31
<sbalneav>
bzr push sftp://code.launchpad.net/~sbalneav/ltsp/scotts-gutsy <-- That should be correct to upload my branch, yes?
09:31
<rjune_>
Where do I lodge an official complaint about ubuntu?
09:31
<sbalneav>
What's your complaint?
09:31
<ogra>
sbalneav, yup
09:32
rjune, define "official"
09:32
i mean you could slashdot it ...
09:32
<rjune_>
sbalneav: packages which are referenced in documentation and in add/remove packages don't show up in add/remove packages

not that official

09:32
humm
09:32
<ogra>
rjune, well, that would be a bug against documentation
09:33
<rjune_>
the other could be a dep bug
09:33
<ogra>
sbalneav, got the right key installed ?
09:33

gnome-kiss requires lha, and states so, but lha isn't available from add/remove
09:33
<ogra>
whats gnome-kiss ?
09:34
apt-cache search gnome-kiss doesnt reveal anything here
09:34
are you sure thats an ubuntu package ?
09:34
<sbalneav>
Ah. Might not have a key set up for this computer.
09:34

kubuntu-desktop is referenced in the docs(installing after the fact) but isn't in add/remove packages
09:42
ogra: I installed from a stock ubuntu install
09:42
<ogra>
right, kubuntudesktop is rather a synaptics thing
09:43
add/remove will only list packages that also have a menu entry
09:43
we're working on meta .desktop files for edubuntu ... that might go back to ubuntu as well
09:43
<sbalneav>
Hmmm, I'm still getting it.
09:44
<rjune_>
ogra: gnomekiss, my bad
09:44
<ogra>
sbalneav, you need the right key in ~/.ssh
09:45
(matching id_rsa for what is stored in LP as your ssh key)
09:46
<sbalneav>
should I be referencing CODE.launchpad.net, or bazaar.launchpad.net?

Ah
09:48
there it goes

<ogra>
:)
09:48
<sbalneav>
bazaar.lp.net
09:49
<Gadi>
indeed - for me too
09:50* ogra wonders what we could do with the fact that you can now use filesystem images on the server instead of tmpfses on the client for rw operations if you want to
09:51
<vagrantc_>
you can have nbd-server write to temporary files ... cow style operations
09:51
<ogra>
we could have one fixed readonly image and an ext3 nbd exported file for RW stuff ...
09:51
for every client
09:51
<vagrantc_>
ogra: just let nbd-server handle it
09:51
ah, you mean per-client ...
09:51
<ogra>
yeah
09:52
initramfs can be configured to use /cow from anywhere you want now
09:52
<vagrantc_>
it can dynamically create random files as needed
09:52
<ogra>
yeah
09:52
<sbalneav>
I have discovered liferea by the way, and life is good, now.
09:52
<vagrantc_>
but you want persistance
09:53
<ogra>
well, not for normal clients indeed
09:53
<sbalneav>
It's great that Edubuntu includes this.
09:53
<ogra>
i wonder what new usecases we can generate for the new features
09:54
like individually server side maintained netbooted workstations ...
09:54
there the persistance would make sense
09:54
for general ltsp clients the tmpfs is a feature :)

10:00
Woot.
10:00
<ogra>
dont see your branch yet :/
10:01* ogra pokes LP to do the scan
10:01
<ogra>
yay
10:02
sbalneav, did you chaneg the greeter code ?
10:02
*change
10:02
<sbalneav>
no
10:02
not yet.
10:02
grab my branch, read the README
10:02
basically, it's a hack.
10:02
<ogra>
yeah, i see a lot Xdialog and popen
10:02
<sbalneav>
once I get ldm2 working well, then I'll start work on the greeter.
10:02
right
10:03
I've isolated all that cruft in the greeter_iface code.
10:03* ogra loves LPs "codebrowse" function :)
10:03
<sbalneav>
The idea will be: once I start work on the greeter, we'll launch the greeter in the main loop, then the greeter iface code will chat with the greeter.
10:04
i.e. "gimme a login", "gimme a password", "display this error message" "whoops, gimme a new passwor" etc.
10:05
<ogra>
yeah
10:05
we just need a socket to talk over
10:05
<sbalneav>
right.
10:05
<ogra>
shouldnt be to hard with the curret c greeter
10:05
*current
10:05
<sbalneav>
But as of last night, I logged in via it.
10:05
no, not at all.
10:05
should be fairly easy.
10:06
The code's REALLY rough
10:06
I'm not testing about 1/2 the errors I should.
10:06
<ogra>
can you use tmpfile for temorary files instead of hardcoded names ? or is ldminfo.authfile used anywhere ?
10:07
<sbalneav>
Well, wouldn't it be better to use a well-known name, so that an external program (i'm thinking local apps) can know what the authfile is?
10:07
<ogra>
i also think xorg 7.3 doesnt need fontpatch to be set but i might be wrong
10:07
*fontpath
10:07
<vagrantc_>
sbalneav: then don't put it in /tmp
10:08
any directory that any random user can create files in is subject to symlink attacks
10:08
<sbalneav>
Well, I think the long-term plan is to put it in /root/.Xauthority, like normal
10:09
but I haven't bothered to do that yet (i.e. another bindmount + other goo.)
10:10
<ogra>
hmm
10:10
do you call any greeter cde at all anywhere ?
10:10
i dotn see anything asking for the passwrod
10:10
sbalneav, bind mounts are history :)
10:11
we have a full ywriteable filesystem
10:11
<sbalneav>
ah
10:11
ok
10:11
yeah, get_passwd in greeter_iface.c
10:11
it's copyied (badly) from get_login. Variable names are misleading :)
10:12
<ogra>
i'm just looking if we could hook in the existing c greeter somehow
10:12
so we could give it to the people to get feedback and tests
10:12
<sbalneav>
Sure.
10:12
I'll work on that somewhat today.
10:13
Then for password expiry, we could just launch Xdialog. It would pop up over the existing greeter.
10:13
<ogra>
the greeter returns 4 values, jus ignore the last two ...
10:13
first is user, second is password
10:13
<sbalneav>
ugly as sin, but workable.
10:13
right
10:13vanya has quit IRC
10:14
<ogra>
well, if Xdialog is to ugly i can quickly write some gtk popups for you ...
10:14
just popping in front should be easy
10:14
<sbalneav>
yeah
10:14
anywho, it doesn't even recycle after a logout yet, so that needs to be done :)
10:15
<ogra>
right
10:15
<sbalneav>
The current ldm restarts X to clear out xatoms, etc, after a session ends, yes?
10:15
<ogra>
but getting the initial thing out even if its buggy will gain us more :)
10:15
<sbalneav>
I wonder if there's an X program we can run that would clean up all the atoms, without having to restart the X server itself.
10:15
<ogra>
gutsy is supposed to e broken ... ;)

<sbalneav>
Well, looks like when the last client exits, the x server resets itself.
10:25
I'll have to play around with it.
10:25
Would be nice not to have to restart X
10:27
<Gadi>
so, wait - if I dont reset X and log in as a different user, and run xprop -root, I should see the first user's settings?
10:27
or if I were a malicious user, I could set a property that the next person would see?
10:27
<sbalneav>
right
10:27
<Gadi>
cool
10:27
very spy vs spy
10:27
;)
10:28
<sbalneav>
Which one are you?
10:28
<Gadi>
does gdm clear the Xatoms/
10:28
<sbalneav>
yeah, when an XDMCP session disconnects, it gets reset.
10:28
<Gadi>
or are all linux pcs insecure?
10:28
ah
10:29
X doesnt respawn tho
10:29
<sbalneav>
right.
10:29
What I was wondering is if there was an external program we could call to twig that piece of code.
10:30pere is now known as pere_away
10:32
<ogra>
sbalneav, run xnest on top of the real X server
10:32
and run ldm inside it
10:32
you wil still reset X but the user wnt notice

yes, I beleive you'll have to recompile the lbe.
11:19
<Gadi>
actually, I think all you need is the kernel kit, no?
11:19
for 4.2
11:20
<sbalneav>
Don't you need to build the compiler tools first?

yeah, for me, too
11:20

i've seen something about kernel kit
11:20
<Gadi>
;)
11:20
<andresmujica>
ok
11:20
<ogra>
dont you need to build the Xdriver as well ?
11:20
<Gadi>
ah, prolly
11:21
<ogra>
that would need more than the kernl kit i assume
11:22
<Gadi>
ogra: you said putting the framebuffer in the initramfs cured your usplash woes, right?
11:22
(with the sisfb box)
11:22
<ogra>
yeah
11:22
<Gadi>
hmm... mine still locks up at the end
11:22
<ogra>
but i only had that once and dint note down what i did
11:22
<Gadi>
ah
11:22
<ogra>
you need to supress the default framebuffer module by blacklisting it in the initramfs iirs
11:22
<Gadi>
it happens after ltsp-client init script (or during)
11:23
<ogra>
*iirc
11:23
<Gadi>
yeah
11:23
tried that
11:23
do you remember how far the sisfb one got?
11:23
before it froze?
11:24* Gadi tries to determine if it is the ltsp-client script or just a slow launching Xserver
11:25
<ogra>
it didnt freeze
11:25
<Gadi>
ah, it just didnt display?
11:25

it just worked

using ubuntu 6.10, splash comes up, it says "OK" to "Mounting root filesystem" and then the screen blacks out and nothing else happens. I've checked, - it's not outputting to serial. Device being booted is a NTA6020P terminal from devonit.com
11:50
I've set SCREEN_01=shell in lts.conf in hopes that'd stop happening, but no joy
11:51
what's supposed to happen after "mounting root filesystem" that doesn't?
11:52
and more to point, how do I debug what broke?

This new 1225 Term doesn't want to boot this morning. Other thin clients too. It says 'No IP Address' when looking for a dhcp lease, however on the server it receives the request and gives an ACK
12:42
ack
12:42
Other thin clients DO boot

<gloin>
sbalneav: no way to know - that's what I have available to work withy
13:53
-y
13:54
<sbalneav>
Don't have another box around that you could boot via pxe?
13:54
<gloin>
one of the pieces I forgot to add was that we've got a Win2k DHCP server that manages our LAN
13:54
so I set the reservation up for that terminal, etc.
13:54
<sbalneav>
That's a pretty big piece to forget.
13:54
<gloin>
and there isn't a dhcp server running on the ltsp server
13:55
the last thing the client says before going black is "booting the kernel"
13:55
or loading
13:56
<sbalneav>
I think, by default, it tries to use NFS from the same machine it got it's dhcp from
13:56
<Gadi>
argh
13:56
<gloin>
lots of luck with that
13:57
<sbalneav>
so it's probably trying to get the root filesystem from W2K
13:57
<gloin>
hmm
13:57* Gadi tries to debug why usplash breaks this client
13:57
<Gadi>
with no success :(
13:58
<gloin>
sbalneav: there's a param set in the DHCP reservation for "boot server host name" that's set to the ip address of the ltsp server
13:59
<sbalneav>
gloin: I think that's irrelevant. I think the initramfs just makes some assumptions.
13:59
<gloin>
Gadi: do you know if usplash provides anything other than a pretty face to the client? You could just disable it in rc
13:59
sbalneav: ah
13:59
so I need to, hrm
13:59
edit something and initrd
14:00
mkinitrd*
14:00
<Gadi>
indeed it is just a pretty face
14:00
<sbalneav>
Are these boxes ONLY going to be thin clients?
14:00
<Gadi>
but, I would like to know why it cracks my mirror ;)
14:00
<gloin>
sbalneav: yes. headless
14:00
<sbalneav>
So, why not just stick in a seconds network card in the server, and hang the terminals off that?
14:00
run dhcpd on the second interface, boom, done.
14:00
<gloin>
heh
14:01
because they're going to be deployed across three production facilities, the smallest of which is 145,000 square feet, in two different states.
14:01
and I don't want to dink around with setting up and maintaining a VLAN
14:01
just for that
14:02
<sbalneav>
Well, you're either going to dink around with manually maintaining your own customized initramfs, or dink around creating a vlan.
14:02
So the question you need to ask yourself is, which is easier.
14:02
<Gadi>

In all the testing I did, I guess I never actually had any bad media.
14:05

14:07

lambda_: not plain debian

nothing can be hidden yes
15:39

15:40
lambda_: you could try installing one of the newer kernels off of backports.org
15:40
lambda_: that'd be easier than compiling a kernel from scratch

if it's fixed in 2.6.18.1 then 2.6.20+ ought to work, no?

vagrantc, Can I upload 2.6.18.1 fixed vmlinuz System.map initrd.img on /var/lib/tftpboot/i386/ ?
15:45
<vagrantc>
lambda_: you can do whatever you please :P
15:45a5benwillis has quit IRC

<vagrantc>
lambda_: would be better to install a packaged kernel into the chroot, though.
15:46
lambda_: so if you build a custom kernel, do it so that it produces a proper .deb
15:46rjune_ has quit IRC
15:48
<lambda_>
so I must chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
15:48
launch apt-get source linux-image
15:48
make-kpkg the new one
15:48
<vagrantc>
sure, i guess.
15:48
<lambda_>
and copying the files to /var/lib/tftpboot/i386/ ?
15:49* lambda_ is not sure for the last step
15:49
<vagrantc>
well, then you can just run ltsp-update-kernels and it will handle the copying for you
15:50
<lambda_>
ok
15:51
<vagrantc>
ltsp-update-kernels is on the server
15:51
well, you'd also have to install the kernel created with make-kpkg
15:52
<lambda_>
at present I test the fixed 2.6.18.1 laptop-side compiled
15:53
It appear the logs tell me 8139cp this is not an 8139+ compatible chip
15:53
try the 8139too driver instead
15:54
.
15:56
but It appears some options are missing in the .config :(

Hi guys... I have a question about using VNC over X.
16:46
The situation is: once I had Windows runing on my computers, VNC was installed in order to be a "help-desk" software. Once the user had a problem with his machine, I went through VNC to help him and try to resolve the problem.
16:47
The problem now is: I have a Linux box runing LTSP and my diskless terminals connect to it. How can I open a VNC session to help the user, once he has a problem to solve
16:48
I tried to connect over ip.server:view_of_client, but it didn't work. I have gnome installed and user Vino to "open" the connection. To which IP address and view port I have to point my VNC client to connect to the screen of the X-terminal??

i get an error while installing ltspfsd due to ltsp-client. says "ltsp-client cannot be installed in a regular machine". strange, it's a dependency of ltspfsd.
21:02
oh, i see. i'm supposed to install ltspfsd in the client environment. hmm, how I do that? chroot?
21:14
bah, ltspfsd is already installed on the client. hmm, still doesn't work.

are local devices still experimental?

have you tried the 3ware site?
22:55
<monteslu>
and I've got a drive clikcing :)
22:55
<jammcq>
that's where i've found docs
22:55
<monteslu>
yeah, it sucks
22:56
hmm.. I'll keep looking there

figure out which one its

<jammcq>
ah
22:57
<monteslu>
s/its/it is
22:58
just have a mirror, so should be easy , I think
22:58
I've got 3dm2 running, but I'm not brining up the web interface
22:58
<jammcq>
oh, I use the cmdline interface
22:59
<monteslu>
funny, that distros don't mind packaging the thing, but documenation is almost non existant
22:59
<jammcq>
tw_cli
23:00
then type something like:
23:00
<monteslu>
tw_cli ?
23:00
<jammcq>
/c0 show
23:00
<monteslu>
guess, I don't have it all installed
23:00
<jammcq>
yeah, that's the 3-ware command line interface
23:01
I have a machine with a failed drive, here's what it shows:

does that talk to 3dm2?

it shows more, but I don't wanna paste it here

after typing 'tw_cli', us the '?' key to get help

I had a batch of bad drives. Had a couple of them fail in only a few weeks
23:05
but now, knock on wood, my big server has been very stable
23:06
<monteslu>
do you rebuild your array from within the card's bios ?
23:06
<jammcq>
I've only ever had to do that once. I pulled the old drive out, put the new drive in, and it did everything automatically
23:06
<monteslu>
awesome
23:06
<jammcq>
and that was while the machine was running :)
23:07
<monteslu>
well, this is just my home server. I don't mind taking it down for repairs. Though the wife might complain about uptime :)
23:07
your once again a life saver, thanks much
23:07
<jammcq>
you need a hot-swap cage, if you want to do it while it's running
23:08
no prob
23:08
have fun
23:08
through tw_cli, you can do a 'rescan' to check for a newly inserted drive, if it doesn't find it
23:09
<monteslu>
cool
23:09
I really like these cards. I bought three of them already
23:09
<jammcq>
and it looks like 'sched rebuild c0'
23:09
i've got 5 or 6 kicking around
23:09
"help sched" will show you more on how to rebuild or verify an array
23:10
err, 'sched' is only for the 9000 series
23:10
i've got a 9550 in one machine
23:10
but mostly I use the 8006-2
23:10
<monteslu>
yeah, this is just a 7000 something. two drives in a pci slot
23:11
<jammcq>
I think the 7000 series is ATA and the 8000 is SATA
23:11
<monteslu>
sounds right.
23:13
jammcq, do you know if you always have to use the same size drive in the cards? What if I got a slightly bigger one for the one I'm replacing?
23:14
<jammcq>
i'm pretty sure you can use a larger drive
23:16
<monteslu>
cool. I'll just pick up something comparable at the store tomorrow So I don't have to order the exact same drive online
23:17
<jammcq>
have fun. I'm heading to bed
23:17
<monteslu>
thanks again,dude
