09:07 | <yigal_> morning
| |
09:08 | * vagrantc does the new ltsp and ltspfs packages in debian/unstable dance | |
09:09 | <sbalneav> hey vagrantc, here's a conundrum for you
| |
09:10 | ever seen this one before? With the new LDM, I log into X,everything looks fine, but when I start typing, it's OK until I hit the enter key...
| |
09:10 | Then the enter key "sticks", and keeps being presses.
| |
09:10 | pressed sorry.
| |
09:11 | If I ctl-alt-f1 to a text console, it;s ok, and if I ctl-alt back to X, it's stopped.
| |
09:11 | Wierd, huh?
| |
09:12 | <vagrantc> ouch
| |
09:12 | this is with your ldm c rewrite ?
| |
09:12 | <sbalneav> yeah.
| |
09:13 | Now, I should try it with a stock chroot.
| |
09:13 | <vagrantc> this brings some really old hazy memories back ...
| |
09:13 | <sbalneav> since Xorgs been updated, it may be an xorg thing.
| |
09:13 | <vagrantc> but not really in clarity
| |
09:13 | <sbalneav> I vaguely remember some other people complaining of this before too.

| |
09:31 | <sbalneav> cottima: yes
| |
09:33 | <cottima> (I have 10 mostly 225MHz+ 128MBram 2GBhdd machines) and if the machine has enough power, is there a way to have some of the resources on the client used to relieve the server a little?
| |
09:34 | <sbalneav> You asked this the other day.
| |
09:34 | I answered it.
| |
09:34 | <vagrantc> cottima: there is no way out of the box. it is certainly possible, but a lot of work.
| |
09:34 | <cottima> I did I am tired. Sorry!
| |
09:36 | I am nervous. Never have done anything worth while with Linux and am think of all the things the system needs like a content filter and locking down a user. I have only been using Linux as a desktop. I am sorry and always thankful for help.

10:42 | what needs to be done on the server side

10:42 | how do i get it automounted?

11:00 | <wpgmb_> hi.. I'm about to install edubuntu and was wondering.. Will there be an option to use lvm in the drive partitioning setup so I can use multiple drives for /home?
| |
11:00 | <ogra> there should be, yes
| |
11:01 | <wpgmb_> and that doesn't cause any known issues with assigning clients their own piece of the pie?
| |
11:01 | <ogra> ??
| |
11:01 | clients boot from a readonly exported chroot from /opt/ltsp
| |
11:02 | thats the only connection to any disk they have
| |
11:03 | so no, you dont assign any pieces to any clients, so there are no issues :)
| |
11:03 | <wpgmb_> sorry. my bad.. what I meant was, if I run out of space later on /home, can I add / exchange drives for /home without any issues?
| |
11:03 | <ogra> i'm not an lvm user, but isnt that the prupose of it ?
| |
11:04 | so i'd guess so
| |
11:04 | <vagrantc> wpgmb_: if you leave some space free, it's easy to add space. it's harder to shrink filesystems
| |
11:04 | Q-FUNK has quit IRC | |
11:04 | <vagrantc> wpgmb_: if you make a bigger than you need swap on lvm, it's easy to resize swap
| |
11:05 | * ogra doesnt manage to get sbalnevs ldm working :( | |
11:05 | <wpgmb_> It is. I just wanted to know if there are any know issues with using lvm in combination with edubuntu server. You've answered my question - and like everything else, try and learn, right?
| |
11:06 | I have two 9G Scsi's lying around I'd like to use for /, /var /tmp etc and use two 80G IDE drives for /home using lvm - that's why I asked
| |
11:09 | <yigal_> hi... i need help with configuring Server-thin client, with Ubuntu 7.04.
| |
11:16 | <wpgmb_> yigal: I may not be the one able to help you, but I suggest you post your question :o)
| |
11:22 | <yigal_> thanks. I did post, made some progress today, but again I am at a dead end. I keep reading documents, but I guess I am a too dummy to use them.
| |
11:25 | <ogra> !ubuntu
| |
11:25 | <ltspbot> ogra: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
| |
11:25 | <ogra> yigal_, just follow the wuick install guide
| |
11:25 | *quick
| |
11:30 | <yigal_> i wish it was as simple as that. I followed different guides. None is going the simple way: what do I have to do with a Ubuntu 7.04 in order to set it up at the server. Most guides are for older versions. I know I am doing something wrong, but after 3 days of reading the "go rtfm" material I need help or to abort the story. I still wonder if thin client is a rocket science.
| |
11:32 | <ogra> if you folow the guide step by step on a clean ubuntu it will work out of the box
| |
11:34 | <yigal_> I was thinking the same, but it didn't. Thanks any way.
| |
11:34 | <ogra> make sure to have one static interface with the ip 192.168.0.1, install ltsp-server-standalone and openssh-server ... run sudo ltsp-build-client, boot your clients ...
| |
11:35 | <yigal_> I did all the above
| |
11:35 | sbalneav has joined #ltsp | |
11:35 | <ogra> on a clean ubuntu ?
| |
11:35 | i.e. you didnt fiddle with other ltsp implementations that tweak settings ?
| |
11:35 | <sbalneav> hey, ogra!
| |
11:35 | <ogra> !s
| |
11:36 | <ltspbot> ogra: "s" is Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| |
11:36 | <sbalneav> Got a second?
| |
11:36 | <ogra> sbalneav, i cant get your ldm to work at all
| |
11:36 | :(
| |
11:36 | <sbalneav> No?
| |
11:36 | <ogra> no
| |
11:36 | <sbalneav> does it call up the greeter?
| |
11:36 | <ogra> your quoting of the command seems very strange as well
| |
11:36 | yes
| |
11:36 | but it doesnt let me in
| |
11:36 | and apparently something breaks ssh completely, i cant ssh from commandline either
| |
11:37 | <sbalneav> hmm
| |
11:37 | Well, when I ssh in, you see I set the "LANG=C"
| |
11:37 | <ogra> also fgets commands wont get through the security review, we'll need proper forking
| |
11:38 | <sbalneav> fgets, or popen?
| |
11:38 | <yigal_> it was an ubuntu upgrade from 6.04 to 6.10 and then 7.04. I just today added the 2nd NIC.
| |
11:38 | <ogra> both
| |
11:38 | <sbalneav> yeah, that's just a quicky
| |
11:38 | <ogra> forking and reading from raw fd's ...
| |
11:38 | just a side comment ...
| |
11:38 | <sbalneav> I'll do that once we get it working :)
| |
11:38 | <ogra> i know its a prototype ;)
| |
11:39 | <sbalneav> hmm, wonder what you're seeing on the ssh fd.
| |
11:39 | <ogra> i'm not near ay cient atm :/
| |
11:39 | *client
| |
11:40 | <sbalneav> I'll add some code to dump the expect strings to tty2
| |
11:40 | <ogra> i see it complaining abut ssh-askpass on the X screen though
| |
11:40 | <sbalneav> that way you can control-alt-f2, and see what the program thinks it's seeing
| |
11:40 | <ogra> (if the greeter diesd)
| |
11:40 | <sbalneav> Never seen that.
| |
11:41 | <ogra> yeah, you dropped ldm.log :) that made debugging somewhat reasier :)
| |
11:41 | *easier
| |
11:41 | <sbalneav> well, the idea was to log to syslog, but for me, the syslog is REALLY slow
| |
11:41 | it only posts one line per second from the client.
| |
11:41 | <ogra> if i install ssh-askpass-gnome i get a second passphrase question after the greeter and then a dbus error in the session
| |
11:42 | yeah, something is not right wih syslog, i noticed that as well
| |
11:42 | <sbalneav> You shouldn't need ssh-askpass
| |
11:42 | <ogra> right
| |
11:42 | <sbalneav> here's the problem I'm having
| |
11:42 | <ogra> i see the sentinel message
| |
11:42 | btw ...
| |
11:43 | <sbalneav> oh, so when you're logged in on the server, if you do a ps -ef you see the echo LTSPROCKS ; bash -?
| |
11:43 | <ogra> no it doesnt get there
| |
11:43 | <sbalneav> oh, ok
| |
11:43 | <ogra> the connection dies earlier
| |
11:44 | <sbalneav> Once I get logged in, things work fine.
| |
11:44 | except the keyboard
| |
11:44 | <ogra> check accessibility options
| |
11:44 | <sbalneav> wwwwhhhhhhiiiiiccccchhhhhhhhh reeeepeeeeeaaaattssssss keeeeyyyysss liiiikkeee craaazyyyy
| |
11:44 | <ogra> and the gnome keyboard settings
| |
11:44 | <sbalneav> oh, is that it?
| |
11:44 | <ogra> it might be caused by not using an xorg.conf
| |
11:45 | <sbalneav> That was what I was wondering. But I'll check the accessibility options.
| |
11:45 | Where do we want the ldm.log?
| |
11:45 | <ogra> set CONFIGURE_X=True in lts.conf to force X detection
| |
11:45 | we had it on the client in /var/log before
| |
11:45 | <sbalneav> in /tmp, or /var/run?
| |
11:46 | ah, duh
| |
11:46 | * sbalneav slaps forhead | |
11:46 | <sbalneav> gimme 15 minutes, I'll hack in some logging
| |
11:46 | <ogra> well, using syslog would be better indeed
| |
11:46 | <sbalneav> right.
| |
11:46 | <ogra> but as it is it will only slow down i guess
| |
11:46 | <sbalneav> But until we get that fixed, this is workable.
| |
11:46 | <ogra> i'll have to dig into that
| |
11:46 | <sbalneav> meh, l8ter :)
| |
11:47 | I wanna see you get logged in.
| |
11:47 | <ogra> yep
| |
11:47 | well, im not near a client atm ... and susie started cleaning the house throwing angry looks ...
| |
11:47 | i guess i should soon start helping :)
| |
11:47 | <sbalneav> heh
| |
11:47 | I gotta do some housework soon too.
| |
11:48 | But, I'll get this in first, and push it. Have a look at it later today if you can.

| |
11:55 | Q for all... I have two SCSI's - a 9G and a 2G, and then two 80G IDE's... Would the 9 + 2 be sufficient to hold the / and swap for Edubuntu, if I want to dedicate the two 80G's for /home (using LVM)?
| |
11:56 | addendum: I have 1G RAM, was thinking to use the 2G SCSI for swap.. is that overkill?
| |
12:04 | ok... let me ask a different way.. is the amount of /var space dependent on the number of clients?
| |
12:05 | <sbalneav> No
| |
12:06 | ogra: ok, logging added

12:24 | <Santo_pendorchoo> and switch conect all pc
| |
12:24 | <wpgmb_> ok
| |
12:25 | <Santo_pendorchoo> no need dhcp-server
| |
12:25 | <wpgmb_> how do the client pc's get their IP address?
| |
12:25 | <Santo_pendorchoo> router work dhcp
| |
12:25 | <wpgmb_> ok
| |
12:26 | which linux for ltsp?
| |
12:26 | <Santo_pendorchoo> i use ubuntu 7.04 como server
| |
12:26 | <wpgmb_> ok
| |
12:26 | server has static IP?
| |
12:27 | <Santo_pendorchoo> yes
| |
12:27 | <wpgmb_> what is the problem?
| |
12:27 | <Santo_pendorchoo> equal to the client
| |
12:27 | <wpgmb_> clients also have static IP's - ok
| |
12:27 | what is the problem??
| |
12:27 | <Santo_pendorchoo> yes
| |
12:28 | what need config ltsp server
| |
12:28 | have apt-get install ltsp-server
| |
12:28 | <wpgmb_> Edubuntu has the option to install LTSP right from the start
| |
12:29 | no need to install later
| |
12:29 | <Santo_pendorchoo> si ya se
| |
12:29 | but install ubuntu
| |
12:29 | installed
| |
12:30 | <wpgmb_> So - you have Ubuntu installed, and would like to add LTSP?
| |
12:30 | <Santo_pendorchoo> yes
| |
12:31 | <wpgmb_> what is the problem?
| |
12:31 | <Santo_pendorchoo> installed ltsp a traves de apt-get instal ltsp-server packages debian
| |
12:32 | <wpgmb_> which version of LTSP did you get?
| |
12:32 | <Santo_pendorchoo> my problem is config ltps server
| |
12:32 | yigal_ has joined #ltsp | |
12:32 | <Santo_pendorchoo> 5.07
| |
12:32 | <wpgmb_> ok
| |
12:32 | <Santo_pendorchoo> so?
| |
12:33 | <wpgmb_> I'm not sure about the options when LTSP is installed later.. but I do know that if you install Edubuntu, LTSP has basic configuration files already, that might be useful
| |
12:34 | see if you can find sample config files on the Internet.
| |
12:35 | <Santo_pendorchoo> yes but host.allows and other files config not understand
| |
12:35 | step by step
| |
12:36 | <wpgmb_> I can't help you there. Sorry.
| |
12:36 | <Santo_pendorchoo> ok

| |
13:23 | <lambda> vagrantc, it appears ltsp_5.0.8debian2/debian/doc is rather slim

13:24 | * lambda wonder why writting doc is so fastidious ... | |
13:24 | <wpgmb_> I'm attempting to install Edubuntu 7 as an LTSP server. Do I need to add special parameters to the kernel for it to see scsi drives? Only the IDE drives in the system are seen in the partioner
| |
13:24 | <vagrantc> lambda: well, please write some :P
| |
13:25 | lambda: if you ask me questions, and turn it into documentation, i would be thrilled.

13:37 | <vagrantc> lambda: there's also a lot of relevent content on ubuntu's wiki ... though some of it is a bit different

13:37 | lambda: debian-edu is using an older ltsp version, mind you.

14:58 | <Yigal> Hi Guys. I need help to ramp up Server-thin clinet based on Ubuntu 7.04. This computer I am using now will be the server. It has 2 NICs - one to the internet, and one to a client, which tries to get IP for some hours now. Can someone help me to config the server? I read many documents, nothing helped. My deadline is Monday.
| |
15:00 | <jasonrsmit1> Yigal, did you run the apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone command to install ltsp?
| |
15:00 | <Yigal> yes
| |
15:01 | <jasonrsmit1> did you change the IP address from the default on eth1?
| |
15:02 | <Yigal> and also the yes, but I am not sure I did it correctly. eth1 is theone connected to the client, I gave it 192.168.0.254, no gateway
| |
15:02 | yes, but I am not sure I did it correctly. eth1 is theone connected to the client, I gave it 192.168.0.254, no gateway
| |
15:03 | <jasonrsmit1> ok, then you need to check /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf and make sure it's set up for the right IP address
| |
15:03 | there's a good howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto
| |
15:03 | <vagrantc> Yigal: use 192.168.0.1 for the server
| |
15:03 | ubuntu, right ?
| |
15:04 | <Yigal> yes, ubuntu 7.04
| |
15:04 | <vagrantc> 192.168.0.1
| |
15:04 | <jasonrsmit1> yes, but which address do you have eth1 set to: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.254 ?
| |
15:05 | <Yigal> now i changed it to 192.168.0.1 as advised. it was 254 before
| |
15:06 | <vagrantc> try again
| |
15:06 | <wpgmb_> Question: If I choose to implement LVM - at what point will the installer let me assign a mountpoint to the LV's? I think this is broken in the installer -unless I'm missing something
| |
15:07 | <vagrantc> wpgmb_: if this is edubuntu, you should probably ask in the #edubuntu channel
| |
15:07 | it really doesn't have anything to do with LTSP ...
| |
15:07 | <wpgmb_> 'k
| |
15:08 | <Yigal> still "NO IP address"
| |
15:09 | <vagrantc> Yigal: could you post /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to the pastebot ?
| |
15:09 | <Yigal> i work on it now
| |
15:09 | <jasonrsmit1> yigal, how do you have the client hooked up? direct with a crossover cable or with a hub/switch
| |

| |
15:15 | <vagrantc> Yigal: looks like you might have troubles with eth2
| |
15:16 | <Yigal> you mean with the hardware?
| |
15:16 | <vagrantc> something ...
| |
15:16 | ah
| |
15:16 | network manager
| |
15:16 | maybe that's causing problems ...
| |
15:17 | <Burgundavia> networkmanager cannot have two active network cards
| |
15:17 | that is your problem
| |
15:17 | <vagrantc> Yigal: it looks like you have eth0, eth1 and eth2 ... how many cards do you think you have ?
| |
15:17 | <Yigal> only two
| |
15:17 | eth0 and eth2
| |
15:18 | <vagrantc> i see a lot of: Jun 16 07:57:47 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
| |
15:18 | <Yigal> I see only eth0 and eth2 in the network controller software
| |
15:18 | <vagrantc> but sounds like network-manager will be a big problem
| |
15:19 | ogra_ has joined #ltsp | |
15:19 | <Yigal> but this is why we have nework manager for, right?
| |
15:19 | * vagrantc does the network-manager should conflict with ltsp dance | |
15:19 | ogra has quit IRC | |
15:20 | <vagrantc> well, network-manager is for automatically managing your network settings ... and not currently smart enough to handle LTSP environments by default
| |
15:20 | * vagrantc leaves it up to others what to do from here | |
15:21 | <Yigal> hmmm, who are the others? since if this like in "lost" ........
| |
15:22 | <Burgundavia> network manager cannot currently support have more than 1 active network interface
| |
15:22 | you need to remove NM and then manually configure the interfaces via /etc/network/interfaces
| |
15:23 | <Yigal> are you 100% sure? 2 NICs is not suppose to be an issue with a mature OS. It's even described in the manuals as recommended way with Server
| |
15:23 | <Burgundavia> yes, completely certain
| |
15:24 | the issue is not the base Ubuntu, it is NetworkManager
| |
15:24 | Ubuntu, sans NM, can handle as many nics as you want. NM cannot (yet)
| |
15:25 | <Yigal> i see. So if I need to have two NICs, and I know their IPs, can you guide me with removing NM and setting it up?
| |
15:25 | <Burgundavia> yep
| |
15:26 | sudo apt-get remove network-manager
| |
15:26 | <Yigal> will it kill the networking? this is the same machine I use now to yype
| |
15:26 | type
| |
15:27 | <Burgundavia> yes, it will
| |
15:27 | before you do that, lets make certain you can get back online
| |
15:27 | ok
| |
15:28 | for the network card that is connected to the outside, you need the following:
| |
15:28 | <Yigal> ok, let me first rampup the other Ubuntu machine (on vmware, will take a sec
| |
15:28 | <Burgundavia> auto eth0
| |
15:28 | <Yigal> wait please
| |
15:28 | <Burgundavia> iface eth0 inet dhcp
| |
15:30 | yigal_ has joined #ltsp | |
15:30 | <yigal_> ok... i am set here. please lead me
| |
15:31 | <Burgundavia> ok
| |
15:31 | which nic faces the internet and which faces the thin client?
| |
15:32 | <Lossie> is beryl possible in ltsp or shouldn't i even try?
| |
15:32 | <yigal_> removing NM now. Eth0 - internet. Eth1 or 2 goes to the client
| |
15:33 | NM removed
| |
15:33 | <Burgundavia> okl
| |
15:33 | so in /etc/network/interfaces
| |
15:33 | eth0 should be the following:
| |
15:34 | auto eth0
| |
15:34 | iface eth0 inet dhcp
| |
15:35 | <yigal_> it is so
| |
15:35 | no.. wait .... mistake
| |
15:36 | 3rd line ends with "static" because I wanted the router to know that pc
| |
15:36 | ip given: 192.168.2. 109
| |
15:37 | <Burgundavia> ahh, op
| |
15:37 | ok
| |
15:37 | then set it as:
| |
15:37 | iface eth0 inet static
| |
15:37 | Lossie has quit IRC | |
15:37 | <Burgundavia> address XX.XXX.XXX.XXX
| |
15:37 | netmask XXX.XXXX.XXX.XXX
| |
15:37 | gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
| |
15:38 | <yigal_> with real numbers? it is.
| |
15:39 | <Burgundavia> yes
| |
15:40 | ok
| |
15:40 | ok, for the next one, duplicate that, but with eth1
| |
15:40 | <ltsppbot> "Yigal" pasted "/etc...." (23 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/184
| |
15:41 | <yigal_> here is the content of that file
| |
15:43 | I think i see were Eth2 comes from..... that's a bug, right?
| |
15:44 | <Burgundavia> yep
| |
15:44 | <yigal_> what next? delete eth2 line?
| |
15:46 | <Burgundavia> yep, delete that
| |
15:46 | then try and bring up eth1
| |
15:46 | <yigal_> How do I comment a line? with a #?
| |
15:47 | and how to "bring up"? just by saving the file?
| |
15:48 | <Burgundavia> sudo ifup eth1
| |
15:50 | <ltsppbot> "Yigal" pasted "/etc...." (8 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/185

15:50 | <yigal_> failed

15:55 | <ogra_> Burgundavia, ???
| |
15:55 | why did you remove him NM ?

15:56 | <yigal_> because I have two NICs, and he said Ubuntu can handle only one with NM
| |
15:56 | <ogra_> no
| |
15:56 | thats wrong
| |
15:56 | did you follow my advise from some hours ago ?
| |
15:56 | <yigal_> i think so, remind me what was it
| |
15:57 | <ogra_> told you the ip you have to use, the packages you have to install and the one command you need to run
| |
15:57 | did you do all of this ?
| |
15:57 | <yigal_> yes
| |
15:58 | <ogra_> ok, paste the output of ifconfig -a and your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to the pastebot

| |
16:01 | <ogra_> do you have a working internet connection on the server ?
| |
16:01 | <yigal_> yes, so far I do
| |
16:02 | <ogra_> the networks are separated ? i.e. you dont have both NICs connected to the same switch or so
| |
16:02 | <yigal_> eth0 ic connected to the home router and to the world. Eth1 is connected to a switch, and the client is also connected to that switch.
| |
16:03 | so yes - they are separated
| |
16:03 | <ogra_> you mean eth2 :)
| |
16:03 | (at least according to what your kernel thinks :) )
| |
16:03 | ok, the dhcp and interface stuff looks good
| |
16:03 | is your dhcpd running ?
| |
16:04 | <yigal_> i think so. how can i tell?
| |
16:04 | <ogra_> ps ax|grep dhcpd
| |
16:04 | shoudl give you someathing like:
| |
16:04 | /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -q -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid -cf /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
| |
16:04 | *something
| |
16:05 | <ltsppbot> "Yigal" pasted "dhcpd" (5 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/188
| |
16:06 | <ogra_> ok, fine
| |
16:06 | so how far does your boot get ?
| |
16:06 | if you start a client ...
| |
16:07 | <yigal_> the client? it search for IP and doesnt find any
| |
16:07 | <vagrantc> when yigal_ posted parts of syslog, it looked like the server gave DHCPOFFERs but the client didn't see them
| |
16:08 | <ogra_> sounds like a HW issue ...
| |
16:08 | what kind of switch is that ?
| |
16:08 | manageable ?
| |
16:09 | <yigal_> i dont know.. its a 24 port switching hub,,, large one
| |
16:09 | <sbalneav> yigal_: Got a crossover cable?
| |
16:09 | <yigal_> not here, i wish
| |
16:10 | but i have another idea before we blame the switch
| |
16:11 | the NIC in the client is RTL, and when I used ROMATIC i chosed one RTL entry out of few. Could it be it's the wrong one? how can i tell the right one?
| |
16:11 | <ogra_> oh, indeed
| |
16:11 | <sbalneav> yigal_: You have to know what kind of card you have.
| |
16:11 | <ogra_> next time tell first that you use etherboot :)
| |
16:12 | <vagrantc> !bootfloppy
| |
16:12 | <ltspbot> vagrantc: "bootfloppy" is http://etherboot.anadex.de or ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/Universal_boot_floppy
| |
16:12 | <yigal_> the chipset had RTL8139D on it
| |
16:12 | <vagrantc> that floppy should be able to figure out which image to use
| |
16:12 | * ogra_ was asuming PXE | |
16:13 | <sbalneav> ogra_: I fixed up a couple more things on ldm2
| |
16:13 | <ogra_> oh, cool
| |
16:13 | i wont do much anymore today
| |
16:13 | <sbalneav> Did you try it after I gave you the logging patch?
| |
16:13 | <ogra_> during house cleaning i came to nearto one of my crappy playaround servers ...
| |
16:13 | <vagrantc> ogra_: debian has newer ltspfs packages than ubuntu :P
| |
16:13 | <ogra_> one of thse things with open case and more Hds than they use ...
| |
16:14 | one of the HDs has a loose power plug .. i wanted to look why and indeed didnt switch off the pc ...
| |
16:14 | was a nice spark :)
| |
16:14 | <sbalneav> zap
| |
16:14 | <ogra_> sadly it seems i grounded half my network ... only one of three WLAN routes survived
| |
16:15 | <vagrantc> ouch
| |
16:15 | <ogra_> and only two of five switches
| |
16:15 | at least the calbles arent fried :)
| |
16:16 | * ogra_ looks forward to go shopping on monday :D new hardware ! :) | |
16:16 | <Burgundavia> ogra_: what are you going to be getting?
| |
16:16 | <sbalneav> Did you try the patched ldm2 I uploaded? I'm interested to know if the reason why you can't log in is because something's igoring the LANG=C and giving you german prompts.
| |
16:16 | <ogra_> new switches and wlan routers
| |
16:17 | sbalneav, unlikely
| |
16:17 | i see a "wrong password" message in auth log
| |
16:17 | so it attempts to send something
| |
16:17 | <Burgundavia> very cool
| |
16:18 | <Yigal> ok guys, i will generate new diskette and hope it will work out. Thanks so far.
| |
16:18 | <sbalneav> ogra_: btw, must have been something with gnome keyboard.

16:18 | I blew away my .gnome settings, and now the keyboard's fine

16:20 | and, plus, with an Idea that I've come up with, we'll eliminate the delayed-mounter daemon.
| |
16:20 | so I'm pretty happy with how this is working out.
| |
16:20 | next, I need to start hacking the greeter to handle a conversation.
| |
16:21 | but at this point, I think it's fairly close to being a drop-in replacement for ldm
| |
16:21 | so phase 2 will be adding the cool stuff we want.

16:22 | <sbalneav> whoops
| |
16:22 | spoke too soon on the keyboard
| |
16:22 | crumb
| |
16:25 | Hm, gonna try it with CONFIGURE_X = True
| |
16:31 | <ogra_> yeah
| |
16:31 | <sbalneav> Hmm
| |
16:31 | <ogra_> i'm pondering to write my own X detetor
| |
16:31 | <sbalneav> still mucks up
| |
16:31 | <ogra_> *detector
| |
16:31 | <sbalneav> Man, this is annoying.
| |
16:31 | <ogra_> are you sure its not the keyboard ?
| |
16:32 | <sbalneav> Positive,
| |
16:32 | I've tried 3 known good ones.
| |
16:32 | Plus, it DOESN'T do it on one of the ttys
| |
16:32 | only in X
| |
16:32 | <ogra_> weird
| |
16:32 | <sbalneav> You're not kidding.
| |
16:32 | <ogra_> not even with X config ?
| |
16:32 | <sbalneav> still does it.
| |
16:33 | it's been a couple of days since I updated my chroot.
| |
16:33 | Maybe it's an X bug
| |
16:33 | there's bugs for it in launchpad.
