I'm just curious if there are any performace issues with it and LTSP.
02:08
<ari_stress>
we can send an email inquiry to them i think

I'm looking at doing thin clients for the kids when I get home...and I know that my daughter would ove the look of that system.
02:19
anyone here frequently use thin clients such as the ones offered by disklessworkstations.com? (I am wondering how well, if at all they (coupled with ltsp, of course) work with wide aspect displays.
02:21plamengr has left #ltsp
02:21
<ari_stress>
iMav: since the concept of ltsp is that all the work is done on the server, then any client with 'decent' hardware will do
02:21
and i'm sure those proprietary thin client will do just great
02:21
either with ltsp or windows

Installed LTSP, connected to the USB touchscreen terminal, copied driver in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input, build_x4_cfg prescribed in the script all they need, NO device loaded as mouse1 and the point, although the readme said that the device should be evenX where X number of the device. conf file for a piece

Hi there i'm having some problems with logging into a LTSP server i've created on Ubuntu Gutsy
10:18
Is anyone around that can help me debug the problem?
10:18
Basically I'm getting a graphical login prompt on the client
10:19
but as soon as I enter any login details it gives me a black screen with an animated cursor
10:19
and then hangs for ~5-10mins then takes me back to the login prompt
10:21
<sbalneav>
maddox: have you done an ltsp-update-sshkeys, and then an ltsp-update-image?
10:28
<maddox>
Yes, I get this message from ltsp-update-sshkeys, is it normal?
10:28
WARNING: /opt/ltsp/images/etc/ssh not found. skipping...
10:28
I have checked the ssh known hosts file though and it seems okay
10:28
I can SSH from the client's terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) into the server box fine
10:32
<Gadi>
maddox: try (on the server): sudo apt-get install ltspfs
10:32
then, try logging in again
10:33
<sbalneav>

10:33

No, couldn't swing it.

10:37
<maddox>
raining here in London too, as always
10:37
<Gadi>
fgiraldeau: bonjoir
10:37
er, jour
10:37
heh
10:37
<fgiraldeau>
Yesterday was the bof about LTSP scalability : http://www.ubuntulive.com/cs/ubuntu/view/e_sess/14832
10:37
Hi Gadi! Hope that you're fine
10:38
<Gadi>
maddox: try setting SCREEN_01 = shell in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
10:38
<maddox>
then update the image?
10:38
<Gadi>
no
10:38
you can put an lts.conf in that dir
10:38
and it will grab it on boot
10:38
(via tftp)
10:38
<maddox>
:)
10:39
<Gadi>
will help you troubleshoot
10:39
;)
10:39
<maddox>
Does that then override the one in the image?
10:39
<Gadi>
once ur in a shell, launch ldm by hand and check for errors
10:39
<maddox>
or do I need to mv the one from the image to tftpboot folder?
10:39
<Gadi>
yes - it overrides
10:39
so, you can just copy the one in the image
10:39
and modify
10:40
<Drock_>
Hi
10:40
<maddox>
[default] SOUND=True LOCALDEV=True CONFIGURE_X=False
10:40
That's my existing one
10:40
Just incase you see any obvious problem with it!
10:40
<Gadi>
nope thats the default :0
10:40
:)
10:41
<Drock_>
Do you not help me with a problem?
10:42
<Gadi>
Drock_: what seems to be the trouble?
10:42
<Drock_>
I connect usb - etwotouch touchscreen terminal, but the logs can see that the device is defined as mouse1 and does not want to be defined as the event *
10:43
<Gadi>
Drock_: are you on LTSP 4.2?
10:43
<Drock_>
yes
10:43
<Gadi>
did you set: X_TOUCH_DEVICE in lts.conf?
10:44
<maddox>
sorry gadi, what parameters should I be passing to ldm from the console?
10:44
<Drock_>
Yes, but the device works as mice :(
10:45
<maddox>
ldm <vt[1-n]> <:[0-N]>
10:45
<Gadi>
maddox: ldm vt7 :6
10:45
<Drock_>
Clicking on any point, the cursor down the screen
10:46
<Gadi>
Drock_: im not sure what the support is like in LTSP out of the box for USB touchscreens
10:47
iirc, the ELO USB screens require a kernel module to be loaded
10:48Avatara has quit IRC
10:48
<Gadi>
but, if it detects it as mouse1, can you not just specify /dev/mouse1 and then add some calibration parameters?

10:56
I've checked the SSH logs (even tried running ssh server in debug mode) on the server but it doesn't look like any connections are being made

it's been a while since we've chatted. my last experiance with LTSP was a 250 node intallation with 9 servers, but they were all using the Citrix ica client run local, so the hardware requirements were non-existant.
12:47
sounds like any modern server should handle my 5 node load with little or no problem. that's good to know. Thanks :)

he might have a problem with ltsp i guess since redhat doesnt have an ltsp5 implementation yet and ltsp 4.x slowly moves into the unsupported realm

Anyone up for helping diagnose a tftp issue? Its probably something stupid but Im stumped at this point. Local gets of a file work. Remote hang and time out. I see the RRQ request but no file is ever sent.

13:56
<ogra>
(sitting two rows behind)
13:56
<whiprush>
how about now
13:56
<fgiraldeau>
The realy goal is to make possible to get a pool of servers on wich dispatch user's sessions.
13:57
No OpenMosix there
13:57
<sbalneav>
Well, we've talked about that before
13:58
How do you do it? Create a static list of ltsp session servers?
13:58
<fgiraldeau>
I hope so, now we have to get it a reality
13:58
<monteslu>
there something in the works other than specifing which mac goes to which ltsp server?
13:58
<fgiraldeau>
Ok, how to get it done is realy details.
13:58
<ogra>
sbalneav, we talked exactly about his spec at UDS ;)
13:58
<sbalneav>
Right, that's what I was thinking.
13:59
fgiraldeau: I'm a details kind of guy :)
13:59
<Q-FUNK>
greetings from estonian thin client details
13:59
<fgiraldeau>
First, you need a hook in LDM to make it possible to select some server in the pool.
13:59
This is the loadbalancing part.
14:00
<sbalneav>
fgiraldeau: Yep, we're doing that.
14:00
<fgiraldeau>
Next, we need a central configuration repository for terminals.
14:00
<sbalneav>
Well there's a couple of ways to handle that.
14:00
<monteslu>
yeah, just have one ltsp server with all the info and other taht are just pointed to from it
14:01* vagrantc thinks parsing /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts would be a good way to select servers
14:01
<vagrantc>
since you can't log into any server not defined there anyways.
14:01
<sbalneav>
vagrantc++
14:01
<vagrantc>
only problem is sometimes it's listed by ip and sometimes by host name
14:01
<sbalneav>
good idea
14:01
<vagrantc>
and usually both
14:01
so you don't want duplicate entries ...
14:02
<sbalneav>
yep, we can code around that, methinks.
14:02
<vagrantc>
i guess you could log into a server defined by root (or whatever LDM run's as ) ~/.ssh/known_hosts
14:02
<sbalneav>
Then we'd just have to make getltspcfg ldap aware
14:02
which wouldn't be too hard.
14:03
<fgiraldeau>
The hardest thing to do I think, is not assume that every users will be on the same server.
14:03
<vagrantc>
why does getltspcfg need to be ldap aware ?
14:03
<sbalneav>
ltsp does, in fact, actually have a registered LDAP id
14:03
<fgiraldeau>
For example, you are working on a bug to let user have only one session at a time, right?
14:03
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: if you're planning on having lts.conf entries centralized
14:03
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: ok.
14:04
could just write a utility that queries ldap and generates an lts.conf ...
14:04
<fgiraldeau>
How do you enforce that if one session is on one server, and the user is trying to actualy start a session on another server?!
14:04
<vagrantc>
social engineering
14:04
<sbalneav>
fgiraldeau: Personally, I think that's a bogus bug. REALLY what needs to be done is fix gnome/kde so that THEY don't assume that you've only got one session. But that's a much bigger job.
14:05
The "single login" issue is because gnome/kde break horribly if you login twice.
14:05
<vagrantc>
if you're sharing your home directory across servers ... ?
14:05
<sbalneav>
When I used to run icewm, it worked fine if I logged in multiple times.
14:06
<fgiraldeau>
Yeah, I agree with you on that point. Not only KDE and Gnome, but also OpenOffice, Firefox and many others
14:06
<sbalneav>
Yeah, it's a big problem.
14:06mistik1 has quit IRC
14:06
<Q-FUNK>
sbalneav: icewm doesn't have filelocking session management
14:06
<vagrantc>
well, we could implement a check in LDM
14:07
<fgiraldeau>
vagrantc: you're right, if home is shared, then you can use a lock file in the home directory to know if the user is already logged somewhere else
14:07
<sbalneav>
right.
14:07
just drop something in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
14:07
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: and listen to ogra scream
14:08
<ogra>
boo
14:08
<fgiraldeau>
It could also be possible to write a session manager, like MS does. That will be helpful too for session resuming in some time.
14:08
<vagrantc>
fgiraldeau: of course, we'd need a way to handle stale lock files
14:08* ogra needs to prepare for the talk ... bbl
14:08
<vagrantc>
fgiraldeau: yeah, i like the idea of a server-side session manager.
14:08
<Q-FUNK>
ogra: have fun!
14:08
<vagrantc>
but *some people* don't.
14:08
<sbalneav>
fgiraldeau: We've talked about that before. You need magic in Xorg to make that happen.
14:09
<fgiraldeau>
I need to move to the room for the ogra talk, but I'm realy happy to see that people is interested about that
14:09
Let's turn those talks into code.
14:09
<sbalneav>
Are you subscribed to edubuntu-[users/devel] and/or ltsp-discuss mailing lists?
14:10
<fgiraldeau>
Yeah
14:10
<sbalneav>
fgiraldeau: we're way ahead of you.
14:10
<fgiraldeau>
ltsp-discuss
14:10
why do you say that?
14:10
I already implemented it :)
14:10
<sbalneav>
because we talked about the multi-server thing back in may :)
14:10
<fgiraldeau>
mille-xterm
14:10
Since 3 years
14:11
<sbalneav>
But you've never EVER once sent any patches to us, have you?
14:11
<fgiraldeau>
The problem is that documentation is only in french and packages are only available for Mandriva.
14:12
It was too much overhead at start, but now we are ready to get things integrated.
14:12
So, I'm here for that, to share my experience and my time to get this done.
14:13
<sbalneav>
Well, idle on this channel. We're developing now.
14:14
<fgiraldeau>
Good! I realy need to move to the talk of Ogra. see ya!
14:14
Realy cool to meet you sbalneav and vagrantc
14:16
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: I like your idea.
14:17
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: which one ?
14:17
fgiraldeau: so you're in portland ?
14:17
<sbalneav>
login hosts from the ssh_known hosts
14:18
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: yeah, i think that's the way to go. ideally create a nice frontend for updating ssh_known_hosts ...
14:18
<sbalneav>
The admin just sets up the keys, and then which host to log into can be done from the client.
14:18
<Gadi>
just tuning in, but with sbalneav's most excellent rc.d/ dir, I would favor being able to grab instruction on which server to connect to pre-login via ssh to the boot server
14:18
or some such
14:19
<sbalneav>
by the time you've got rc.d, you're already logged in :)
14:19
<Gadi>
ah, right
14:19
<sbalneav>
unless you disconnect, and reconnect elsewhere.
14:19
<Gadi>
nm
14:19
<vagrantc>
well, could could have several *.d for different purposes
14:20* Gadi crawls back in hole
14:20
<vagrantc>
or different phases
14:20
though important not to get too crazy.
14:20
<Gadi>
right
14:20
<fgiraldeau>
vagrantc: yeah, I'm assisting to the talk of ogra right now.
14:20
<vagrantc>
i sunk my enthusiam for lessdisks by going crazy with run-parts directories
14:20
<Gadi>
fgiraldeau: are you the sexy booth babe?
14:20
:)
14:21
<fgiraldeau>
What?
14:21
<vagrantc>
fgiraldeau: i probably won't be at the talks, but i'm in town. i'll be working at freegeek a bunch this week.... but i'd be happy to meet with folks.
14:21
<Gadi>
you know, the pretty one?
14:21
<vagrantc>
we should get some of the LTSP crowd in for a tour of freegeek
14:21
<Q-FUNK>
flirty penguin spotted.
14:21
<fgiraldeau>
Now, we didn't get to the hooters yet :)
14:22
<Gadi>
lol
14:22
<vagrantc>
although, most shamefully, freegeek is still running lessdisks
14:22
yay! lessdisks.net expired!
14:22
<Q-FUNK>
pity I didn't hear about the event earlier. i could have easily booked a flight on company expense
14:22
<fgiraldeau>
jammcq had reserved to a brezilian steakhouse for 6:30.
14:23
vagrantc: will you join?
14:23
<vagrantc>
steakhouse is probably not my kind of thing :)
14:23
<fgiraldeau>
One time will not kill you...
14:24
Come on :)
14:24
And usualy, there is a salad bar
14:24
<Gadi>
vagrantc: watching LTSP folk at a steakhouse is a spectator sport
14:24
<fgiraldeau>
That is much lighter
14:24
<vagrantc>
pfft.
14:24
<Q-FUNK>
you could kil your own eggplant, for a change
14:24
<whiprush>
I am going to have a cow just for me
14:24
<vagrantc>
i could rally some animal rights activists out front or something :)
14:25
<Q-FUNK>
Gadi: would you happen to have your dbe61 with you there this week?
14:25
<vagrantc>
and hassle y'all on the way in
14:25
<whiprush>
I'll eat them too
14:25
<Gadi>
Q-FUNK: alas, I am not there

any clue how the thin client offerings from disklessworkstations.com play with wide aspect displays? (and LTSP, of course)
16:12
I'm planning on setting up a 5 client LTSP setup with new thin client equipment and want to know what the best options for LCD displays would be (hense my question about wide aspect displays).
16:13
<sbalneav>
iMav: I'd email disklessworkstations.com and ask. I'm pretty sure they'll have that info.
16:14
<iMav>
sbalneav: ok, thanks. I figured some people here would have some of their equipment...but asking over several days here seems to indicate that that is not the case. :)

16:30
I don't have a problem buying SXGA+ and UXGA displays...but since I'm buying all new equipment, if wide aspect displays will work nicely, might as well go that route.
16:31
I'm also wondering if there is a tipping point regarding minimum CPU/RAM/etc where there starts to be a significant fall off in regards to performance, boot time, etc (with LTSP 5.0).

so, for those others that have the LTSP thin client appliances (as sbalneav is leaving)...is there a minimum configuration (CPU, RAM, etc) with which you see a significant hit in performance/boot times/etc if you fall below?

well, he's right

<dberkholz>
was really nice to see storm
17:01

parametr for set screen ?
17:02
X_MODE_0 ?
17:02
<dberkholz>
ah, this was the quote that made me think more of it would be
17:02
"This will be the first complete Launchpad component to be released as open source software."
17:03
<slipttees>
doc about this configs?
17:04
<ogra>
dberkholz, its one component
17:04
<vagrantc>
slipttees: X_MODE_0=1024x768 should work on ltsp 4.x and debian based LTSP 5 ... but i think it's broken on some versions of ubuntu LTSP 5
17:04
<dberkholz>
right. but when you say the first, that implies more. if not the whole thing.
17:04
<ogra>
and it shall show that, oce the software is in, we'll go on to reales the rest
17:04
<dberkholz>
anyway, we're way OT here

17:12
s/HW/monitor/
17:12
googling for the model/make of your monitor should help

<fgiraldeau>
ogra: seems that it could be a good idea to add freq settings onto the gui that you're planning
17:12

or look at the handbook

The second one even gives you all the vendor codes you'll need in dhcpd.conf to make it work.

yaboot ltsp has tons of results for sure
22:51
but not with ltsp-discuss
22:51
i found ltspcrossarch setup but that was very useless
22:52
it says that you need specific options in dhcpd.conf but fails to give them
22:52
i did use it to build the client tho
22:52
and that was good
22:52
but it doesn't tell you anything else tho
22:53
most of the stuff i found seemed to require more intimate knowledge of yaboot or openfirmware than i currently have
22:54otavio has joined #ltsp

Did you look up the ecowizards link?
22:58
it GIVES you the dhcpd.conf example.

hello
23:43
<Drock>
i have a one small trouble
23:44
my usb touchscreen doesnt work with ltsp 4.2
23:44
<iMav>
that seems like more than a small trouble. :)
23:45
<Drock>
well, yes
23:46
<sbalneav>
Did you set the touchscreen variables like gadi advised you this morning?

Lets have a look at your lts.conf file. Paste it to the pastebot, please.
23:47
!pastbot

23:47
<Drock>
yes, USE_TOUCH = Y
23:48
<iMav>
"USE_TOUCH = Y"??? why does the config file have to be so dang cryptic??? :)
23:48
<sbalneav>
I beleive there's more to it than that.
23:48
Have a look in the lts.conf.example file.
23:49
it's in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc as well.
23:50
<ltsppbot>
"Drock" pasted "lts.conf" (17 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/229
23:51otavio has joined #ltsp

You need such parameters as:
23:52
X_TOUCH_DEVICE = "/dev/ttyS0" or whatever the device is X_TOUCH_TYPE = D
23:52
etc.
23:53
so there's some more stuff you need, I think
23:54
<Drock>
ok,now it try
