<m_pahlevanzadeh>
iMav, i wanna boot from wireless card, Do you have an idea?
03:02
<iMav>
AFAIK, wireless cards don't do PXE booting.
03:03
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
iMav, can i write a module for kernel?
03:03
<iMav>
do you have to use a wireless card, or do you just not havee wired connectivity to the server? (cuz a wired NIC using a wireless bridge should work fine)
03:05
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
iMav, no,i wanna use wireless card
03:06
iMav, can i implement PXE for wireless card?
03:07
iMav, Is it FreeCode?
03:09
<iMav>
I don't think LTSP via wireless is viable at this time...
03:09
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
iMav, Do you know same project?
03:17
What's license of PXE protocol?
03:17
<iMav>
you could boot off a live CD (such as knoppix) which has support for your wireless card...and then "X -query <ip of your LTSP server>
03:17
it's not a true thin client setup, but would work.
03:20
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
iMav, oh, i wanna start a same project,i wanna implement it.But i don't know that same project was performed or not!

has anyone used the SYM1110's? (Symbiont Mini)
05:42
<gvy>
m_pahlevanzadeh, google for wifi pxe -- there was something but not really mature
05:43
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
gvy, ty
05:43
<gvy>
btw there's no such thing as a "protocol license" afaik
05:43
a proto may be patent-encumbered (in loser countries that do swpats) but not licensed itself

hi... i'm getting "rc.sysinit completd, switching to multi-session mode" and after that nothing happends... what can be?
06:34
I did remove a inittab file, but i have recreated ... i dont know if is write...
06:34
can be that?
06:35
<jammcq>
ohmbr: sounds like LTSP-4.2, and you don't have a 'SCREEN_01 = startx' in your lts.conf file
06:35
oh
06:35
and you shou'dn't have removed that inittab file. it was supposed to have been a symlink, not a real file
06:35
that's more likely the problem in your case
06:36
yeah, that's prolly it
06:37
<ohmbr>
humm... is thare a way to recreate that link?
06:37
<jammcq>
sure
06:37
remove the file
06:37
then, do: ln -s /tmp/inittab inittab
06:37
while you are in the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc directory
06:39
<ohmbr>
jammcq: yep!!! that is it!!! its wotrking now!!

thanks a lot!!!!

Hi. I have a very old notebook (ibm thinkpad 600E) and a pcmcia networking card. Is there any chance I can make a thinclient boot cd with such a networking card?
07:13
I want to use it as a thinclient and pxe boot from an edubuntu server directly connected to the card through a lan cable
07:13
<joebaker>
scane: I don't think pcmcia cards work. You could boot a live CD, then start X like
07:14
this... X :7 -query ltspserver_IP
07:15
<scane>
sounds good
07:15
<joebaker>
My answer is quit old however. Things may have changed. PXEBoot requires some integration between the laptop manufacturer and the nic.
07:15
There's a space after the X
07:15
<scane>
I have already running xubuntu on the laptop
07:15
<joebaker>
excellent!
07:16
<scane>
so i would close the running local session and start a new one like you said
07:17
<joebaker>
NoMachine is a cool way to connect to your ltsp server also. Persistent sessions, low bandwidth. I've got to leave for work now... Cheers!
07:17
No
07:17
I'd fall back to CTRL-ALT-F1

My 1225e is doing weird things today. It's dropping the network connection for about 1 second every 30 seconds or so.
08:09
I would suspect slight power issues, but the monitor/keyboard stuff isn't affected. It happened while typing the last sentence, and every character I typed during that short lock surged in after the connection came back.

ogra: "s" is Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
09:07
<sbalneav_>
hehe
09:08
How are you, ogra?
09:08
<ogra>
fighting with broken liveCds
09:08
<sbalneav_>
Oh no!
09:08
Bummer
09:08
<ogra>
yeah
09:09
i didnt test enough yesterday
09:09
i dont think anyone did amd64 tests this time either
09:10
and we have a weird bug where the livefs fills scripts with binary rubbish etc
09:11
so they dont finish booting
09:11
<sbalneav_>
eurgh
09:13
<ogra>
yeah
09:13
something changed in the loopdevice handling in intramfs
09:14
i'm trying to fix that ... but indeed that needs a CD rebuild after every small change
09:14
very time consuming
09:23
<whiprush>
sbalneav_: jammcq: hey, you guys wanna hang out with some GNOME people in portland?
09:23
<scane>
joebaker, are you still around?
09:24
<sbalneav_>
whiprush:unfortunately, I won't be in Portland
09:24
<scane>
xnest looks amazing.
09:24
<ogra>
whiprush, are there gnome ppl as well ?
09:24
<whiprush>
sbalneav_: dude what? that was like half the reason I was going
09:24
ogra: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/PDXMeetup2007
09:24
pass it around!
09:24
<ogra>
i thought they are all stuck at guadec
09:24
(with no power and spare network :) )

My wife's having trouble at work, so I need to be home to help her.

09:25

i wont be there at sat (arriving after 8pm)
09:25
<whiprush>
heh.
09:25
yeah that's why we have 2 parties.
09:25
<ogra>
but i'll see if i can make tuesday

ogra: it's open invite, so feel free to invite whoever
09:26
<ogra>
even tuesday is the last evening for most canonical employees, the company might have planned something
09:27
<whiprush>
we'll figure something out
09:43
<rjune>
ogra: Canonical closing?
09:43
<ogra>
??
09:43
<rjune>
even tuesday is the last evening for most canonical employees, the company might have planned something
09:44
just seeing that makes it sound like canonical is folding. but that would be odd
09:46
<whiprush>
he means last day of ubuntulive
09:46
<ogra>
rjune, we just rented http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millbank_Tower and the company grew by 100% over the last 8 months
09:47
unlikely that we'll close during te next years :)
09:48
<rjune>
well, seeing as your funded by an eccentric millionaire
09:50
wait, the company rented the entire tower?
09:50
<ogra>
nah
09:50
one floor for the start ;)
09:50
we still all work from home ...
09:50
<rjune>
also, who do I file a bug report on the vmware package in the commercial aps repo?
09:50
<ogra>
thats mainly admin people sitting there
09:51
rjune, not sure where bugs for that go, but i heard that fabbione will be caring for that repo now
09:51
<rjune>
the vmware package is flaky
09:52
<ogra>
we had a bunch of vmware people at the sprint last week ...
09:52
but i'm not involved there s i have no clue what they were there for ...
09:53
but we're partnering very tightly with vmware, intel and dell ... one would think that things should be smooth :)

joebaker, thanks a lot for hinting me to xnest - that's would be the way to go for me
11:14
<joebaker>
scane... How does your command line look for Xnest?
11:15
You're very welcome scane.
11:15
<scane>
:-) i will have to install a new server first that will take a while. No idea yet about the command line
11:16irule is now known as irule_bluegeneL
11:16
<scane>
But I thought I'd run xnest on the server
11:16
<joebaker>
scane: Do you run Openvz?
11:17
I saw you're logged into that channel. Is that like vmware?
11:17
<scane>
joebaker, I am using 2 virtual servers
11:18
from hosters, and they use virtuozzo
11:18
<joebaker>
I see.
11:19
<scane>
All the guests and the host share the same kernel and they say they have only 1 per cent overhead
11:20
<mistik1>
scane: When done with Xnest, if you need and even better sandbox environment for text x apps try Xephyr
11:20
<scane>
but of course only linux
11:20
<mistik1>
Its the replacement for Xnest but it supports all the latest X extensions like Damage, Xrandr, Composite etc, etc
11:21
<scane>
mistik1, I already stumbled over xephyr recently and I will certainly try both and compare whcih one is faster for my setup
11:21
<mistik1>
And that is even if your host display dont support them
11:21

hi all, I just wrote an e-mail about ltsp-es that I would want yo to answer to if you have time...thanks
11:44
<indradg>
sbalneav, hi
11:45
<sbalneav_>
indradg: hello
11:45
<indradg>
sbalneav, as suspected, my trouble with local CD-ROM support on 4.2, was due to it being turned off from the BIOS
11:45
:P
11:46
<sbalneav_>
meduxa: Having support for more languages is a fine idea, did you copy jammcq on the email? I suspect if you're willing to do the work, he'll be happy to let you run with it.
11:46
indradg: Well, good. Easy fix.
11:47
<indradg>
sbalneav, is the ltspwebcam package available for 4.2 ?
11:47
<sbalneav_>
No idea. I didn't have anything to do with it.
11:47
<meduxa>
first I have to say this idea on the old ltsp-es list to see if people want to swich and collaborate
11:48
<indradg>
sbalneav, ok
11:49
<meduxa>
if I can convice 3 or 4 people, wewill go for it beginning with 1 wiki page and open a mailing list under ltsp domain

Looks like it needs to be a _VERY_ good network connection though.

otherwise stability issues ensue.

howdy
22:52
<youngun>
I need some help if you don't care
22:53
<iMav>
what's up?
22:53
<youngun>
well i don't know if it is firefox or esd or what but hopefully we can find out
22:53
i have ubuntu 7.04 with ltsp 5.0
22:54
all the clients play system sounds but will not play out of browsers i do have the flash non-free installed
22:55
i have a very generic lts.conf file sound=y localdev=y so on
22:55
and with the distro the clients can not choose to use kde in hopes i could rebuild arts
22:56
so my question is
22:56
is it ubuntu the distro
22:56
the new ltsp
22:56
flash
22:56
or firefox
22:57
<iMav>
32-bit?
22:57
<youngun>
64
22:57
I have tried both
22:57
they do the same thing
22:58
<iMav>
clients are 64-bit as well or just the server?
22:58
<youngun>
server
22:58
the clients are 32
22:58

specifically, "The difference is they aren't using thin clients. Until recently flash
23:05

23:39
<iMav>
shoot
23:39
<youngun>
how do i push a windows box through a linux dhcpd sever?
23:40
when my wife uses windows it says the network has limited to no connectivity
23:40
and won't access the net
23:40
<iMav>
The LTSP server is between your windows box and the internet connection?
23:40
<youngun>
yes
23:41
well no
23:41
i have a wireless router
23:41
i have to run her a seacial chord all the way across the house for her windows but i have a switch right next to it for linux
23:42
<iMav>
does the windows system pull an IP from the LTSP[/DHCP] server?
23:42
<youngun>
yes

if the windows box can connect to the router directions, as long as it has the appropriate default route and working DNS, it should be f ine.
23:43
uhhh "directly"
23:43
<youngun>
right route and dns
23:44
i have to configure the card in other words
23:44
<iMav>
do you have two NIC's in your LTSP server?
23:44
<youngun>
yes
23:44
one to connect to the router and one to the clients
23:44
i would like to get rid of the router though
23:45
<iMav>
so, isn't the windows system pulling an IP from the router?
23:45
ahh, I see what you are saying.
23:45
<youngun>
it is
23:45
right now but i would like to pull from linux
23:45
i have to run a speacila line to the router
23:46
<iMav>
why can't she connect wirelessly to the router?
23:47
personally, unless there is a compelling reason to ditch the router, my preference would be to keep the router and not make the LTSP server your edge device.
23:48
<youngun>
