03:08 | <ogra> vagrantc, i'll arrive at 8:15pm on the 21st ...
| |
03:14 | <vporo> Should the vlc mozilla plugin work in ltsp?
| |
03:15 | or better, what plugin should I use for streaming
| |
03:16 | <ogra> which distro ?
| |
03:16 | <vporo> ubuntu
| |
03:16 | feisty
| |
03:16 | <ogra> and what do you want to stream ?
| |
03:16 | <vporo> video
| |
03:16 | <ogra> ubuntu should automatically use the totem plugin, its preinstalled
| |
03:17 | <vporo> and that should work?
| |
03:17 | <ogra> if you have the codec installed the video needs, it should, yes
| |
03:17 | <vporo> by default I was not able to view the stream so I added the vlc plugin
| |
03:17 | <ogra> totem has an automatic codec installer, but that doesnt work in mozilla afaik
| |
03:18 | so you would have to start the movie directly once to get that codec
| |
03:18 | (or just install all codecs)
| |
03:19 | <vporo> ok, I check whether it was the codec I was missing
| |
03:19 | <ogra> (gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse)
| |
03:20 | (these are the codec packages)
| |
03:31 | <vporo> It seems like the stream requires vlc-plugins
| |
03:34 | <ogra> unikely
| |
03:39 | <vporo> you are right, but the gui on the web page does :|

04:48 | <hrishi> hi, is there any good document that explains the cost for creating a ltsp based terminal server installation
| |
04:49 | i mean cost benefit analysis
| |
05:00 | <gvy> hrishi, i have one similar in Russian at hand
| |
05:01 | if all else fails, at least you can google translate and use that
| |
05:03 | hrishi, http://syselegance.kiev.ua/products/advantages.php
| |
05:04 | it's linux clients with custom RDP server running on winxp pro
| |
05:05 | <hrishi> ok, let me try with google
| |
05:08 | gvy: what is syselegance, is it a linux box with ltsp
| |
05:18 | <gvy> hrishi, nope, a custom linux terminal implementation
| |
05:18 | but the numbers are largely the same or similar
| |
05:54 | <Q-FUNK> hrishi: there is

08:44 | <sbalneav> Morning all
| |
08:45 | <ogra> !s
| |
08:45 | <ltspbot`> ogra: "s" is Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| |
08:45 | <sbalneav> Hey ogra!
| |
08:45 | <ogra> yo :)
| |
08:45 | <sbalneav> How's the sprint going?
| |
08:45 | <ogra> classmaty
| |
08:45 | <sbalneav> Zoomy
| |
08:46 | Here's a question for you.
| |
08:46 | <ogra> i finally got all people i need around
| |
08:46 | <sbalneav> Lets say I went out, and bought a 4 gig memory stick for mine.
| |
08:46 | <ogra> yup
| |
08:46 | <sbalneav> hooked up a cdrom to it, and did an install
| |
08:46 | <ogra> nah
| |
08:46 | wait until next week, i'll have an image for you
| |
08:46 | <sbalneav> nah?
| |
08:46 | ah, ok
| |
08:47 | <ogra> if you do a non squashfs solution on it it will get horribly slow
| |
08:47 | the image i have here is actually very good, only openoffice isnt usable
| |
08:47 | (takes 2min to start)
| |
08:48 | <sbalneav> well, that's not the end of the world
| |
08:48 | <ogra> but i'll switch to abiword/gnumeric
| |
08:48 | <sbalneav> !
| |
08:48 | <ogra> both is actually usable
| |
08:48 | <sbalneav> For edubuntu in general, or for the classmate images?
| |
08:48 | <ogra> prob with abiword is that its incompatible to LP wrt translations
| |
08:48 | only for the classmate
| |
08:48 | <sbalneav> ah, ok
| |
08:49 | <ogra> i dont want to be default edubuntu to different from standard ubuntu
| |
08:49 | <sbalneav> right.
| |
08:50 | Well, I've got a couple of meetings this morning, but I'm clearing the decks for the rest of the day to hack on LDM.
| |
08:50 | I'll let you know my progress
| |
08:51 | I've been getting crash reports on startup from nbd-server
| |
08:51 | Is the nbd guy digging into it, or should I spend some time tonight to sort it out?
| |
08:53 | <ogra> i'll fix that soon
| |
08:53 | fernando1 has quit IRC | |
08:54 | <gvy> !o :-)
| |
08:54 | <ltspbot`> gvy: Error: "o" is not a valid command.
| |
08:54 | <ogra> its nbd-server trying to start via the initscript
| |
08:54 | which we want to avoid if in inetd mode
| |
08:54 | trivial patch to the initscript
| |
08:54 | <gvy> ogra, btw... does ldm require python 2.5?
| |
08:54 | <ogra> 2.4 at least iirc
| |
08:55 | muh2000__ has joined #ltsp | |
08:55 | <ogra> but from gutsy on we wont have any python code in it anymore :)
| |
08:55 | <sbalneav> gvy: Commented on your bug. I don't have time to look into a user list for this time, we'll examine it for next go-around.
| |
08:55 | <gvy> sbalneav, thx & np :)
| |
08:55 | ogra, tnx
| |
08:56 | <ogra> sbalneav, btw i just talked withour new server team member ;) he's hired for ldap and ldap only
| |
08:56 | <sbalneav> By default, you'd want it turned off, because it's a huge information leak, IMHO. Now, an attacker, by simply looking at the login screen, can find out all your userids.
| |
08:56 | muh2000_ has quit IRC | |
08:56 | <sbalneav> ogra: Oh, cool! Who is he?
| |
08:57 | fernando1 has joined #ltsp | |
08:57 | * ogra indeed forgot the name again | |
08:57 | <ogra> he's american
| |
08:58 | in any case we'll have full client support in gutsy and he's planning a server setup by gutsy+1
| |
08:58 | so finally gutsy+1 will be the fat client release :)
| |
08:59 | and it looks like we'll get ebox to main
| |
08:59 | <sbalneav> burgundavia was mentioning ebox last night.
| |
09:00 | <ogra> http://ebox-platform.com/
| |
09:00 | yeah
| |
09:00 | its around since quite some time
| |
09:00 | now it finally gets integrated properly
| |
09:00 | <sbalneav> cool.
| |
09:00 | good news for us.
| |
09:01 | <ogra> i also fought for getting sis7019 into our default kernel ...
| |
09:01 | and oss modules will be back soon :)
| |
09:01 | (was quite fruitful this sprint)
| |
09:03 | <sbalneav> Do we need oss?
| |
09:04 | I thought alsa was better? Or is there some old oss-only cruft out there?
| |
09:09 | <vporo> what are you using instead?
| |
09:09 | ry
| |
09:11 | <Lumiere> there is plenty of old oss-only cruft left
| |
09:11 | which sucks
| |
09:11 | one of the big ones for me is Wine
| |
09:11 | their alsa audio layer is very broken

| |
10:54 | s/loke/like/
| |
10:54 | with the alsa plugin for oss and pulse on top it doest behave much differently to our default setup

11:10 | <TTT_Travis> Hi I am trying to run LTSP on an ubuntu server it gets to the Ubuntu bootsplash with the load bar but then the screen just goes black a about 10 seconds later and nothing happens
| |
11:10 | what is the problem?
| |
11:13 | <gvy> press esc?
| |
11:13 | for details
| |
11:14 | <TTT_Travis> esc doesn't do anything
| |
11:14 | its still showing a black screen with the blinking cursor line thing
| |
11:15 | Q-FUNK has quit IRC | |
11:15 | <ogra> TTT_Travis, make sure a desktop is installed
| |
11:15 | <TTT_Travis> I built a client image if thats what you mean
| |
11:16 | <ogra> no
| |
11:16 | you need a desktop on the server to log in to, else ltsp is pontless :)
| |
11:16 | *point
| |
11:16 | <TTT_Travis> yeah there is a desktop on the server
| |
11:16 | <ogra> oh, wait, your boot doesnt even finish it seems
| |
11:17 | <TTT_Travis> it works fine on the server -- but when I boot I just get the bootsplash and the beginning of the load bar
| |
11:17 | but it doesn't make progress
| |
11:17 | <ogra> do your clients fulfill the minimal reqs ? (48M at least)
| |
11:17 | <TTT_Travis> yeah
| |
11:17 | <ogra> which release is that ?
| |
11:18 | edgy, feisty, gutsy ?
| |
11:18 | <TTT_Travis> 5.0.7
| |
11:18 | oh
| |
11:18 | Fesity
| |
11:18 | <ogra> hmm, weird
| |
11:19 | did you follow this guide ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
| |
11:19 | <TTT_Travis> oh wait this might have something to do with it I installed ltsp generated an os image etc. then installed it because I wanted to use my own dhcp server
| |
11:19 | the ltsp installer wanted to remove mine
| |
11:20 | I am using just dhcp (not dhcp3) and atfpd (not tfpd-aba)
| |
11:20 | but ltsp isn't actually installed
| |
11:20 | <ogra> drop splash and quiet from the /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default file to see more details
| |
11:20 | <TTT_Travis> k
| |
11:20 | <ogra> no idea if atftpd works at all
| |
11:21 | K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp | |
11:21 | <ogra> (its in universe, i dont even think anyone cares for the package)
| |
11:21 | <TTT_Travis> if it gets this far it should work though right?
| |
11:21 | <ogra> no
| |
11:22 | i dont know how the old dhcp handles netbooting
| |
11:22 | <TTT_Travis> ok
| |
11:22 | I am getting an nfs mount error
| |
11:22 | so that much be my problem
| |
11:22 | nfsmount: need a path
| |
11:22 | and then it just keeps trying over and over to mount the that
| |
11:23 | <ogra> oh, thats the old "dont put the ip in root-path" bug i guess
| |
11:24 | <TTT_Travis> lol ok what does that mean
| |
11:24 | so thats a dhcp misconfiguration?
| |
11:25 | <ogra> no, thats a bug in debians and ubuntus initramfs
| |
11:25 | fixed in sid and recently in gutsy
| |
11:25 | <TTT_Travis> so it's not option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
| |
11:25 | related to that?
| |
11:25 | <ogra> yeah
| |
11:26 | <TTT_Travis> how do I fix it?
| |
11:26 | <ogra> it *is* option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
| |
11:26 | the setup that breaks would be option root-path "123.45.67.89:/opt/ltsp/i386";
| |
11:26 | so if you have option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; thats fine
| |
11:27 | i assume your dhcp server doesnt hand out the root-path properly
| |
11:27 | <TTT_Travis> oh wait my dhcp doesn't have the root path that was in the dhcp3 config
| |
11:27 | duh
| |
11:27 | <ogra> ah
| |
11:27 | well, at least we'll know then if it works with the old cruft :)
| |
11:27 | why do you use such obsolete versions ?
| |
11:28 | i mean, are you forced to ?
| |
11:28 | <TTT_Travis> I couldn't get dhcp3 to netboot
| |
11:28 | it might have been related to the tftpd server actually
| |
11:28 | <ogra> err
| |
11:28 | <TTT_Travis> I am just trying this out
| |
11:28 | if this works the way I want I will properly configure a server
| |
11:28 | <ogra> well, ltsp-build-client and the ltsp-server-standaloe package do configure everything for you to run out of the box
| |
11:29 | theser is noting else needed than the stuff in the quick install howto
| |
11:29 | <TTT_Travis> yeah this is a dev server I run with a lot of crap so somethings don't work as expected because there are old configs etc.
| |
11:29 | <ogra> indeed if you are forced to use stuff like atftpd by your job or something its good t know i works ;)
| |
11:29 | <TTT_Travis> ok it's booting now~
| |
11:29 | <ogra> *it
| |
11:29 | moquist__ is now known as moquist | |
11:30 | * gvy is away: ~ | |
11:31 | <TTT_Travis> hmm it go to the text login thing that asks for a username but now it looks like it was trying to load X or something and I just have a black screen
| |
11:31 | how can I get out of X? isn't there like a keyboard command?
| |
11:31 | <ogra> ctrl-alt-f1 ?
| |
11:32 | <TTT_Travis> hmm nothing
| |
11:32 | but I don't know if keyboard input is working yet
| |
11:32 | <ogra> it should
| |
11:33 | what kind of videocards are in there ?
| |
11:33 | <TTT_Travis> it's a nvidea
| |
11:33 | oh
| |
11:33 | <ogra> ah, well
| |
11:33 | <TTT_Travis> I will switch my monitor to the onboard
| |
11:33 | maybe that is why
| |
11:33 | outputting to the wrong video maybe
| |
11:34 | <ogra> or disable the onboard card in the bios
| |
11:35 | <TTT_Travis> I think it is but seems like it never actually gets disabled
| |
11:35 | <ogra> X wont work if no monitor is attached during boot ... since it cant probe for resolution etc
| |
11:35 | <TTT_Travis> ok
| |
11:36 | maybe I was wrong
| |
11:36 | I still don't get anything
| |
11:37 | if I change the Xorg in /opt/ltsp/i386
| |
11:37 | is that what it uses?
| |
11:42 | <ogra> no, it generates it on boot
| |
11:42 | you can force a static file though
| |
11:43 | copy it to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/my-xorg.conf or so and set XF86CONFIG_FILE=/etc/my-xorg.conf in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
| |
11:44 | but that wont circumvent the fact that the wrong card is used as default i assume
| |
11:44 | <TTT_Travis> ok I am just wondering how it is configuring X, if it were using my Xorg file it is configured for the server video, which wouldn't work
| |
11:45 | <Gadi> TTT_Travis: try setting XSERVER=vesa in your lts.conf
| |
11:45 | <TTT_Travis> but if I made my own xorg.conf that was proper for the client and set it static like you mentioned it would work
| |
11:45 | ok
| |
11:45 | I'll give that a shot
| |
11:45 | <Gadi> that will rbing up the generic driver
| |
11:45 | *bring
| |
11:46 | <ogra> Gadi, that will still use vesa on the internal card
| |
11:46 | <Gadi> if X is probing the internal card
| |
11:46 | <TTT_Travis> I am not sure if the onboard video is the problem
| |
11:47 | <Gadi> remember, he sees it boot on the adin card
| |
11:47 | *add-in
| |
11:47 | <TTT_Travis> yeah
| |
11:47 | <Gadi> so, its just a question of whether X is configuing based on the onboard card
| |
11:47 | in which case, forcing the driver (and maybe the frequencies too) should work
| |
11:48 | <ogra> X and usplash are unrelated
| |
11:48 | <Gadi> exactly
| |
11:48 | <TTT_Travis> ok now instead of bringing up a plain black screen it is blinking between the black screen and text shell
| |
11:50 | I do get text login though
| |
11:50 | what do I use for my username and password? the ones on the host system don't work
| |
11:50 | <Gadi> try adding to lts.conf:
| |
11:51 | X_HORZSYNC=31-59
| |
11:51 | X_VERTREFRESH=60-60
| |
11:51 | <TTT_Travis> ok
| |
11:51 | <Gadi> those should force some safe (albeit low) resolution
| |
11:53 | <TTT_Travis> still just doing the blink thing
| |
11:56 | anyway forget about x for now
| |
11:57 | how do I login like how do I make the users and everything?

12:19 | <whiprush> TTT_Travis: I run like 50 some clients on my network and have no problems (100mbit)
| |
12:20 | <TTT_Travis> my clients are media centers
| |
12:20 | so all of the sound and stuff is local so it shouldn't use very many resources at all right?
| |
12:20 | since everything is loaded into ram

12:51 | <TTT_Travis> ok I finally got X to come up
| |
12:51 | logged in my it's like I am using my Host
| |
12:52 | like my home dir has all of my files
| |
12:52 | Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp | |
12:52 | <TTT_Travis> shouldn't LTSP be different
| |
12:52 | <akSeya> TTT_Travis, nope
| |
12:52 | TTT_Travis, when you log in, is like you were on the server
| |
12:52 | <TTT_Travis> ok
| |
12:52 | I see
| |
12:52 | <akSeya> all users that have account there are able to log in in any client
| |
12:52 | and all files and folders will be avaible to them
| |
12:53 | <TTT_Travis> how come when I was in text mode my root user was different?
| |
12:53 | <akSeya> :)
| |
12:53 | root on the client?
| |
12:53 | <TTT_Travis> yeah
| |
12:53 | in text mode
| |
12:53 | <akSeya> in another vterminal or with a console?
| |
12:54 | <TTT_Travis> vterm
| |
12:54 | <akSeya> hum.. so, in a vterm there is only the root user for local machine
| |
12:54 | to solve any problem...
| |
12:54 | but if you open a console with your client logged in you will be in server..
| |
12:54 | <TTT_Travis> ok now I'm super confused
| |
12:55 | <akSeya> lol..
| |
12:55 | ok.. leme try again
| |
12:55 | you are in your client, there with your client logged in X you open a konsole... every command you type will be executed on server
| |
12:56 | for example, if you type ifconfig on konsole you will see the server IP, not the client
| |
12:56 | <TTT_Travis> ok I see
| |
12:56 | ok so I just need to run as a local user on the client
| |
12:56 | <akSeya> if you want to know your client IP you will have to open the vterm (CTRL+ALT+F1) then every command will be executed on client
| |
12:56 | <TTT_Travis> atleast for this purpose (media center)
| |
12:57 | I see

| |
13:00 | and I think I see how it works now
| |
13:01 | <akSeya> TTT_Travis, what LTSP version are you usingG?
| |
13:02 | <TTT_Travis> 5.0.7
| |
13:03 | <akSeya> nice :p
| |
13:03 | i don't know much about ltsp5
| |
13:03 | in 4 we surely had problems with remote media devices
| |
13:04 | but since I use slackware, i still did't had time to compile ltsp5 for it...
| |
13:04 | i may be able to help you with the bases (as that question you asked before)..
| |
13:04 | <TTT_Travis> I just started using LTSP last night so I am figuring this out as I go
| |
13:04 | <akSeya> :)
| |
13:05 | <TTT_Travis> before that I had never netbooted anything or used PXE
| |
13:07 | <akSeya> wich is the best way to mount a nfs into all clients?!
| |
13:08 | <TTT_Travis> does compiling kernel modules I need for my clients work the same through chroot as a normal install?
| |
13:09 | <akSeya> ouch.. sorry.. i'm thinking now.. i don't have to mount it.. just create a symlink on everyones desktop...
| |
13:15 | <moquist> whiprush: heh; sorry, dude

13:23 | <sbalneav> I run everything remotely
| |
13:24 | <TTT_Travis> what happens when someone tries to play like a youtube video?
| |
13:24 | or use a media app?
| |
13:24 | isn't it super-choppy etc.
| |
13:24 | Q-FUNK has quit IRC | |
13:25 | <sbalneav> I don't allow flash on my network, so it isn't a problem for me :)
| |
13:25 | It depends on network speed, client speed and server speed.
| |
13:26 | nsweet has joined #ltsp | |
13:26 | <sbalneav> If you want 40 people watching youtube, you're going to need a fairly beefy server.
| |
13:26 | <vagrantc> ogra: ah, bummer. you'll miss freegeek's geek fair
| |
13:26 | <nsweet> howdy
| |
13:26 | <sbalneav> Hello nsweet
| |
13:27 | <nsweet> I have a question about the latest LDM that's supposed to bypass encryption of X traffic
| |
13:27 | I just installed it, but when the terminal boots, it never gets to the login screen.. it almost looks as if LDM is crashing and keeps trying to restart
| |
13:28 | <TTT_Travis> yeah I was just wondering for something like a school how they would do that with flash/video/audio
| |
13:29 | <vagrantc> nsweet: debian or ubuntu ? which version of LDM: dpkg --root /opt/ltsp/i386 -l ldm
| |
13:29 | <nsweet> edubuntu and i just downloaded the LDM from the link in the post on the mailing list
| |
13:30 | it's just the LDM binary
| |
13:30 | <sbalneav> What's the permissions on the file?
| |
13:30 | <vagrantc> just the binary? eeyk.
| |
13:31 | <nsweet> permissions are 755
| |
13:31 | yeah, i just followed the instructions.. :)
| |
13:31 | is there a package available?
| |
13:33 | <sbalneav> I'd put the old one back, and try that first.
| |
13:33 | <nsweet> Yeah, but I really need autologin capabilities
| |
13:34 | <TTT_Travis> when my clients boot X doesn't start, it just gives me a text mode login prompt, how do I startx manual, but not in vterm
| |
13:35 | <sbalneav> Sure, but put the old one back, and reboot, see if the problem goes away. Then we can debug that problem knowing the ldm's the only thing that's changes.
| |
13:35 | <moquist> sbalneav: hey there
| |
13:35 | <nsweet> well, it was working before i changed out the ldm, but i'll doublecheck
| |
13:36 | <Gadi> nsweet: did you already put the autologin info in lts.conf?
| |
13:36 | you can try commenting it out and see if that restores it to normal
| |
13:37 | <nsweet> ok, i'll give that a go
| |
13:37 | <sbalneav> hey moquist
| |
13:37 | <Gadi> autologin is going to bypass the login screen and just keep attempting to login with the creds in lts.conf
| |
13:37 | <nsweet> i see
| |
13:37 | <Gadi> so, if there's a problem, it will just keep trying and failing and reloading
| |
13:37 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |

13:38 | <nsweet> are the correct parameters LDM_USERNAME and LDM_PASSWORD?

13:39 | gadi: your solution appears to work -- commenting out the creds allows it to boot
| |
13:40 | yep, that nails the problem.. for some reason the creds are incorrect.. thank you!

14:11 | vagrantc: sorry its german :-/

14:12 | <vagrantc> i don't know ltsp 4.x ... in LTSP5 it only requires an lts.conf to change the defaults

14:56 | Gadi: http://rafb.net/p/swrg7R67.html

14:57 | <Gadi> that doesnt look like an ltsp kernel it's calling
| |
14:58 | <K_O-Gnom> Gadi: its the standard text in the file i dont change it
| |
14:58 | <Gadi> right, but you are on gentoo, no?
| |
14:58 | gentoo doesnt magically set things up for ltsp
| |
14:59 | <K_O-Gnom> oh i forget i change the label thing first there was written label linux no its label bzIma...

| |
15:26 | ok how about this question, when is the expiry of the 6.06 lts server support?
| |
15:27 | <K_O-Gnom> did somebody know why i dont get a login window? only my Xserver starts but no login like gdm or xdm comes up... (only the rastered X screen
| |
15:28 | <vagrantc> !greyscreen

15:28 | <ltspbot`> vagrantc: "greyscreen" is No login, and only a grey screen? See http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Troubleshooting-GrayScreen

15:30 | <john_s> ok, answered question number 2 myself. dunno why i didn't find it before, but 1 still obtains if anyones done a vm image of gutsy
| |
15:30 | <vagrantc> john_s: why not download a CD image and build one yourself ?
| |
15:31 | <K_O-Gnom> vagrantc: hmm ok my display manager isnt listening
| |
15:34 | <john_s> vagrantc: I am interested, tell me more!
| |
15:34 | <vagrantc> john_s: well, configure your vm to boot from CD and install a disk image ...
| |
15:35 | <john_s> hm i only have vmplayer
| |
15:35 | so I don't think I can do that
| |
15:35 | <vagrantc> there's qemu or virtualbox
| |
15:35 | <john_s> which would you recommend
| |
15:35 | ?
| |
15:36 | <vagrantc> haven't used virtualbox, but some swear by it. qemu works for me, but is a little slow.
| |
15:36 | <john_s> ok
| |
15:36 | I'll look into it. Thanks for the advice.

15:45 | <vagrantc> how about .xsession-errors ?

19:12 | <Q-FUNK> etch.

19:13 | default packages.

19:13 | try again

19:13 | <Q-FUNK> I tried with the default and with various mirrors. same thing.
| |
19:13 | alrwady tried that.
| |
19:13 | <vagrantc> ok
| |
19:15 | <Q-FUNK> it's about the Release file for etch, as you might have noticed.
| |
19:15 | maybe adebootstrap issue.
| |
19:16 | <vagrantc> it would be unusual that it would break, seeing as there's been no real changes to etch.
| |
19:16 | i'll give it a whirl here
| |
19:17 | <Q-FUNK> I can imagine an archive update lacking the GPG signature or something happening.
| |
19:17 | <vagrantc> right
| |
19:17 | <Q-FUNK> that could confuse debootstrap
| |
19:21 | vagrantc: does it also fail for you?

19:26 | <vagrantc> Q-FUNK: are you running through an http proxy or something ?
| |
19:26 | <Q-FUNK> etch host installing an etch chroot?
| |
19:26 | nop.e
| |
19:26 | <vagrantc> yes, etch on etch
| |
19:27 | Q-FUNK: try running debootstrap manually
| |
19:27 | debootstrap etch /tmp/foo
| |
19:28 | Q-FUNK: i mean, it gets past where you were ... haven't figured out if it actually completes an install yet.
| |
19:28 | <Q-FUNK> yup
| |
19:28 | same message about having received an invalid Release file
| |
19:29 | a5benwillis has joined #ltsp | |
19:29 | <vagrantc> what version of debootstrap ?
| |
19:29 | dpkg -l debootstrap
| |
19:29 | <Q-FUNK> 0.3.3.2
| |
19:30 | <vagrantc> that's what i'm using
| |
19:31 | Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC | |
19:32 | <Q-FUNK> hm. might have been a corrupt debootstrap. I just purged --force-dpeends and reinstalled it and it works now.
| |
19:32 | really odd.
| |
19:35 | oh well.
| |
19:35 | it was debootstrap, it seems.
| |
19:35 | <vagrantc> cal
| |
19:35 | <Q-FUNK> either that or this hdd is accumulating bad sectors
| |
19:36 | vagrantc: thanks for the help anyhow :)
| |
19:37 | Shane-S has joined #ltsp | |
19:37 | <vagrantc> Q-FUNK: of course :)
| |
19:38 | <Q-FUNK> I'm re-installing all packages, just to be safe
| |
19:38 | <vagrantc> oh, fun.
| |
19:38 | <Shane-S> hi all, I am subscribed to the K12OS mailing list, which has the K12LTSP project in it. I was wondering has anyone gotten an all-in-one PowerMac G3 to work as a think client without needing a hard drive and some linux variant?
| |
19:39 | I asked on the mailing list and got a "search the archives" and everything I find mentioned Yellow Dog Linux
| |
19:39 | <Q-FUNK> vagrantc: not so, but easy at least, thanks to aptitude's L command.
| |
19:39 | <Shane-S> I am trying to see if I can salvage those old systems as thin clients
| |
19:40 | <jammcq> Shane-S: the guy who knows most about those is cliebow. I'm not sure if he's around right now
| |
19:40 | <Q-FUNK> Shane-S: they support netboot so yes, this should work, in theory.
| |
19:41 | you'd need to configure them for netboot and then save that as the default option in open firmware.
| |
19:41 | <Shane-S> yeah I plugged it in and yanked the hard drive to force it to HUNT,and the firmware keeps being mentioned, perhaps that is what Yellow Dog messes with
| |
19:41 | well I will hang around while I seach and check into it more
| |
19:42 | <Q-FUNK> Shane-S: the main thing to look for is not "ltsp imac g3" but rather "imac g3 network boot"
| |
19:42 | mac sites should have the info on how to configure them for that
| |
19:43 | <Shane-S> its not an iMac, its a PowerMac, the ones with the IBM based CD-Rom's and Floppies
| |
19:43 | still uses a G3, they were sold to education only
| |
19:43 | otherwise they were "IBM clone" look-a-likes
| |
19:44 | all boxy and seperate...let em find photos :P
| |
19:44 | <Q-FUNK> http://ask.metafilter.com/21425/Is-is-possible-to-NetBoot-a-G3-iMac
| |
19:44 | ah
| |
19:44 | but this is still OF. this should work.

| |
19:45 | try booting while holding the N key
| |
19:46 | <Shane-S> pretty sure I did that too
| |
19:46 | I guess I have to tail some log file to see if a connection is even attempted
| |
19:46 | wish I has one here
| |
19:47 | <Q-FUNK> which OF version does it have?
| |
19:49 | that netbsd page pretty has the info
| |
19:50 | <Shane-S> I think that is it, I think the A-I-O's had a closed firmware
| |
19:51 | <vagrantc> ah, there's a few other firewares for some of those oddball macs
| |
19:52 | <Shane-S> that might be why everyone kept mentioning Yellow Dog, perhaps that offer one
| |
19:53 | thanks for that link, that spells out more details then I have though
| |
19:58 | <Q-FUNK> welcome

21:20 | <Shane-S> anyone know if you can get a PowerPC 5260 working as a thin client, the NetBSD pages have a solid NOT SUPPORTED icon, as the firmware is not open
| |
21:28 | anyone know if http://www.2x.com/pxes/ allow you to connected to an LTSP server?

23:37 | <MrMoo> is .bashrc / .bash_profile run before the desktop on LDM login?
| |
23:38 | <sbalneav> No
| |
23:38 | <MrMoo> does that mean its impossible to clean up old processes on login?
| |
23:38 | <sbalneav> No, but you'll need to create the cleanup script as part of the X session.
| |
23:39 | Put a file that can be . included in a shell script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
| |
23:39 | Make sure it doesn't do an "exit" call in it, and call /bin/true as the last thing you do.
| |
23:40 | So you could create /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40-Clean-up-some-stuff
| |
23:40 | and put in things like
| |
23:40 | pkill -u $USER OpenOffice
| |
23:40 | <MrMoo> yup
| |
23:41 | <sbalneav> pkill -u $USER mozilla, etc
| |
23:41 | <MrMoo> gnome is very messy on terminal crash
| |
23:41 | <sbalneav> end off with /bin/true
| |
23:47 | <MrMoo> thanks
