| 10:08 | exodos has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:13 | <vagrantc> staffencasa: yes, actually. there's at least two cafes here in town here (portland, oregon, usa) running ltsp kiosks
| |
| 10:13 | although i don't think they used the kiosk plugin.
| |
| 10:14 | * vagrantc has been meaning to clean up the kiosk plugin code for a while now | |
| 10:17 | Envit1 has quit IRC | |
| 10:21 | <staffencasa> I'm trying to run a bunch of them and just started playing with ltsp. I work at OSU (in your neck of the woods) and we want to use ltsp for our web kiosks in the dorms.
| |
| 10:22 | muh2000 has quit IRC | |
| 10:22 | <staffencasa> I tried the ltsp-build-client --kiosk with a plugin I found, but it's not working
| |
| 10:22 | <vagrantc> staffencasa: this is on ubuntu ?
| |
| 10:22 | <staffencasa> edubuntu
| |
| 10:22 | yeah
| |
| 10:22 | gypsymauro has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:22 | <staffencasa> what do you suggest?
| |
| 10:22 | <gypsymauro> hi
| |
| 10:23 | <vagrantc> staffencasa: well, first off ... elaborate on "not working" :)
| |
| 10:23 | <gypsymauro> I've installed ltsp on ubuntu now I want the clients to mount usb pens..there is an howto?
| |
| 10:23 | <vagrantc> !ubuntu
| |
| 10:23 | <ltspbot> vagrantc: "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
| |
| 10:24 | <vagrantc> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices
| |
| 10:24 | !localdev
| |
| 10:24 | <ltspbot> vagrantc: "localdev" is (#1) Information regarding using pluggable devices and cdroms with LTSP can be found at http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42-LocalDev, or (#2) for ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices, or (#3) for debian-edu: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/LocalDeviceLtspfs
| |
| 10:24 | <staffencasa> I created the plugin, put it in the right directory, then when I run, it says 'etc/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/30-kiosk: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token 'in
| |
| 10:25 | want me to paste a link to the plugin?
| |
| 10:25 | <vagrantc> staffencasa: where did you put it, and please paste your code to the pastebot
| |
| 10:25 | !pastebot
| |
| 10:25 | <ltspbot> vagrantc: "pastebot" is The LTSP pastebot is at http://pastebot.ltsp.org. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebot, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. A link to the content will be pasted in the channel.
| |
| 10:25 | <staffencasa> k
| |
| 10:26 | <vagrantc> ah, i can infer the location from your error :)
| |
| 10:28 | <ltsppbot> "staffencasa" pasted "Kiosk Plugin" (46 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/240
| |
| 10:28 | <staffencasa> I'm sure it's something stupid I'm not doing
| |
| 10:29 | or did wrong
| |
| 10:29 | <vagrantc> staffencasa: so, why aren't you using the plugin included with ubuntu ?
| |
| 10:30 | <staffencasa> I didn't see one. Maybe I just don't know where to look. Edubuntu has a few versions and I think the one I'm using doesn't have ltsp built in
| |
| 10:30 | <vagrantc> which version of edubuntu ?
| |
| 10:30 | <staffencasa> 6.10
| |
| 10:31 | not classroom
| |
| 10:31 | <vagrantc> edubuntu server 6.10 definitely includes LTSP
| |
| 10:31 | automatically.
| |
| 10:31 | not sure about when the kiosk plugin was introduced ...
| |
| 10:31 | <staffencasa> it's not server, it's desktop. Should I use it instead?
| |
| 10:32 | <vagrantc> so there's no /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/30-kiosk ?
| |
| 10:33 | * vagrantc wonders why someone would use 6.10 when 7.4 is out | |
| 10:33 | <staffencasa> 7.4 doesn't work on the machines I'm using. I can fix that too, though. This is just a test to see if it will be a good choice for us.
| |
| 10:34 | <vagrantc> staffencasa: at any rate, your plugin looks fine ... how are you trying to run it ?
| |
| 10:34 | <staffencasa> no that file isn't there
| |
| 10:34 | I can put it there and try again
| |
| 10:34 | my command is "sudo ltsp-build-client --kiosk --base /opt/ltsp-kiosk/
| |
| 10:34 | <vagrantc> if you're using a custom plugin, put it in /etc
| |
| 10:35 | hmmmm
| |
| 10:35 | you know, i'm not sure edgy's plugin system works right.
| |
| 10:36 | <staffencasa> it's in /etc/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/
| |
| 10:36 | <vagrantc> edgy was released not long after we designed the plugins system, and there were a few bugs in it at the beginning
| |
| 10:36 | <staffencasa> should it be /etc/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/ubuntu/?
| |
| 10:36 | <vagrantc> no
| |
| 10:37 | if at all possible, use 7.4
| |
| 10:37 | <staffencasa> desktop or server? or does it matter?
| |
| 10:38 | <vagrantc> the server will automatically install a "normal" LTSP environment, i think...
| |
| 10:39 | <staffencasa> k, I'll try that. Thanks for your help
| |
| 10:39 | <vagrantc> and if you use --base to specify a different directory when building your kiosk, that ought to work.
| |
| 10:39 | <staffencasa> Yeah, I found someone's doc about that and just copied it
| |
| 10:40 | <vagrantc> but your error is very strange... i don't know edgy well enough to troubleshoot it.
| |
| 10:40 | shogunx has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:41 | <staffencasa> I thought so too, just thought it was my ignorance

| 10:45 | <avlis> can someone give a help? i'm trying to mount usbdrive's! i already made the modifications that are in the wiki pages, but client's don't mount the usbstick's yet! i'm using debian etch and on the boot i'm doing rdesktop to a windows 2003 server... my version of ltsp is 4.2!
| |
| 10:47 | <gypsymauro> tanx vagrantc
| |
| 10:51 | <Gadi> avlis: are you using this: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WorkInProgress#LTSP_4_2_RDP_localdev
| |
| 10:53 | gypsymauro has quit IRC | |
| 10:54 | <avlis> Gadi: i already try that, but without success :( i don't know where i'm doing the mistake !
| |
| 10:55 | <Gadi> if you set SCREEN_01= shell and drop into a shell and plug the device in, does it appear in /tmp/drives and /Drives ?
| |
| 10:57 | <avlis> nop, only if a plug it in to server!
| |
| 10:58 | <Gadi> then, you have general local device problems
| |
| 10:58 | not specific to rdp
| |
| 10:58 | can you pastebot your lts.conf?
| |

| |
| 11:07 | <avlis> ltsp 4.2 vagrantc!
| |
| 11:07 | <vagrantc> ok
| |
| 11:08 | don't mix and match LTSP 4.2 (ltsp-utils) and LTSP 5 (ltsp-server)

| 12:43 | <bjohnson> I updated my Fedora server and now my accounts can login to the server itself, but none of the remote machines. The remote machines DO get a login screen. Some kind of authentication issue with kde .. any tips on where to look?
| |
| 12:46 | <zodman> bjohnson: the xdmcp can be disable when update.
| |
| 12:46 | checck your xdmcp configuration's
| |
| 12:47 | <bjohnson> kdmrc has: # Whether KDM should listen to XDMCP requests. Default is true.
| |
| 12:47 | #Enable=false
| |
| 12:47 | but I'll add Enable=ture just to be sure
| |
| 12:48 | fgiraldeau has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:48 | <bjohnson> or Enable=true
| |
| 12:48 | my understanding is that the remote stations wouldn't even get a login with XDMCP enabled
| |
| 12:48 | ahh
| |
| 12:48 | I mean "without" XDMCP enabled
| |
| 12:55 | <sbalneav> bjohnson: If you're talking ltsp4.2, then yes.
| |
| 12:56 | With ltsp5, we have our own display manager now that runs on the client, and doesn't use xdmcp

| |
| 13:11 | <sbalneav> Just to let you know
| |
| 13:11 | last night, ldm2 hit a fairly major milestone.
| |
| 13:11 | autologin: working
| |
| 13:12 | <Gadi> uh oh
| |
| 13:12 | cool
| |
| 13:12 | <sbalneav> DIRECTX: working
| |
| 13:12 | retry on bad password entered: working
| |
| 13:12 | <Gadi> nice (with feedback?!?!)
| |
| 13:12 | <sbalneav> expired password handling: working
| |
| 13:12 | yeah, with feedback.
| |
| 13:12 | <Gadi> sweet
| |
| 13:12 | u rock
| |
| 13:12 | <sbalneav> Dude! I been busy :)
| |
| 13:13 | <Gadi> imagine - a display manager with feedback!
| |
| 13:13 | <sbalneav> It's a beautiful thing :)
| |
| 13:13 | <Gadi> every time I speak in public, I tell people that with gutsy ltsp5 hits real prime time
| |
| 13:13 | :)
| |
| 13:14 | <sbalneav> So, if you just HAPPEN to be sitting around, you know, with NOTHING BETTER to do with your time, as I'm sure happens all the time in your life, merge to my scotts_gutsy tree, and give 'er a go.
| |
| 13:14 | I also added the rdesktop script the fellow the other day posted, so it's in my tree.
| |
| 13:14 | <Gadi> you bet - thanks for the heads up
| |
| 13:15 | <sbalneav> np
| |
| 13:15 | <Gadi> tell ogra to get it into the gutsy repo already :P

| 13:27 | <Blinny> So on my big 4.2 box is it possible to run a virtual machine under it, on a client?

| 13:27 | bjohnson has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:27 | <Blinny> (i have a few Win98 legacy programs I'd love to offer my users)
| |
| 13:28 | Well, run the VM on the beast server but display on the client.

| 13:33 | kaminski-ltsp-br has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:33 | <bjohnson> still the same problem with logins on remote machines. XDMCP is definitely running on the server (confirmed with netstat)
| |
| 13:33 | any other ideas
| |
| 13:33 | ?
| |
| 13:36 | <Gadi> bjohnson: did you do the autologin.sh| script?
| |
| 13:37 | <bjohnson> no. I don't need guest accounts
| |
| 13:37 | just normal users, each with their own account
| |
| 13:37 | <Gadi> doesnt matter
| |
| 13:37 | <bjohnson> maybe I didn't understand
| |
| 13:37 | <Gadi> you need to map the IP address of the workstation (or hostname) to user
| |
| 13:37 | thats why you need a script
| |
| 13:37 | <bjohnson> I can't have roaming users anymore?
| |
| 13:38 | <Gadi> not with autologin
| |
| 13:38 | how does gdm know who to log in where?
| |
| 13:38 | <bjohnson> I don't need autologin
| |
| 13:38 | I just need to be able to longin
| |
| 13:38 | <Gadi> oh, you cant login at all?
| |
| 13:38 | <bjohnson> correct
| |
| 13:38 | <Gadi> i thought you needed autologin
| |
| 13:38 | what happens when you log in?
| |
| 13:39 | <bjohnson> I get the login screen, and it works normally on the server (I use the server as my workstation)
| |
| 13:39 | <Gadi> it boots you back to login screen?
| |
| 13:39 | <bjohnson> I've tested other accounts on the server and they work too
| |
| 13:40 | on ALL remotae machines (that worked fine for months up till yesterday when I upgraded my FC6), they get the login screen, but it bounces back to the login screen without any messages
| |
| 13:40 | the kde startup dialog box doesn't appear like normal either
| |
| 13:40 | obviously some kind of authentication issue related to kde/kdm .. but I can't find it
| |
| 13:40 | <Gadi> hmm... and, have you restarted gdm?
| |
| 13:40 | ah, you're using kdm
| |
| 13:41 | have you checked the user's .xsession-errors file?
| |
| 13:41 | <bjohnson> user accounts are stored in ldap on another server .. so being able to login on the ltsp server shows that the ldap connection is still working
| |
| 13:42 | yes I've looked at the .xsession-errors file but I don't really know what I'm looking for
| |
| 13:43 | I could post one somewhere .. the first line is: Couldn't establish a connection to :9202: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname ':9202'

| |
| 13:52 | yeah. I'm stumped too
| |
| 13:54 | <sbalneav> bjohnson: What's the server?
| |
| 13:54 | Maybe you don't need to be using xfs
| |
| 13:54 | <bjohnson> Fedora Core 6 .. been working for months
| |
| 13:55 | <sbalneav> Oh, man. Don't use XFS
| |
| 13:55 | that's new enough to have xrender.

| 13:56 | xrender will do all the stuff that xfs used to do, without all the hinky that xfs was famous for.
| |
| 13:56 | Try just doing XFS = N
| |
| 13:57 | <bjohnson> I think the problem is: X Error of failed request: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
| |
| 13:57 | I don't know what that means but it doesn't happen when they log in to the server directly
| |
| 13:57 | the other lines are still there when they login directly on the server
| |
| 13:58 | plameng1 has quit IRC | |
| 13:58 | <sbalneav> So, they can't log in via gdm?
| |
| 13:58 | plamengr has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:58 | BlackDark has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:58 | <sbalneav> (Sorry, coming into this in the middle)
| |
| 13:58 | <Gadi> sbalneav: xrender wont render fonts that you newly install, tho, will it?
| |
| 13:58 | <BlackDark> hi
| |
| 13:58 | <bjohnson> they can log in via kde/kdm on the server, but not on any remote machines
| |
| 13:58 | <sbalneav> Gadi: Should, if they're in the font path.
| |
| 13:59 | <BlackDark> I'm on the point to buy 2 of these terminals http://www.disklessworkstations.com/cgi-bin/web/info/ltsp_t1220.html?id=BPKyeU3z
| |
| 13:59 | <sbalneav> Now, does the login just FAIL, or do they get a no such user error message, or...?
| |
| 13:59 | <Gadi> sbalneav: the chroot's font path
| |
| 13:59 | no?
| |
| 13:59 | <BlackDark> but some folks told me the video chipset is badly supported and slow under lunux
| |
| 13:59 | linxu
| |
| 13:59 | linux
| |
| 13:59 | <sbalneav> No, that's the point of xrender.
| |
| 13:59 | <Gadi> oh, cool
| |
| 13:59 | i didnt realize
| |
| 13:59 | nice
| |
| 13:59 | <sbalneav> yeah
| |
| 14:00 | I stopped using xfs 5 years ago once we got xrender in 4.1
| |
| 14:00 | XFS was a MAJOR headache for me before.
| |
| 14:00 | <BlackDark> do you guys have experience with the 1220 terminal ?
| |
| 14:00 | kaminski-ltsp-br has quit IRC | |
| 14:01 | <sbalneav> BlackDark: I know they HAD a problem, but I beleieve there was a fix for them
| |
| 14:01 | jammcq'd be the person to ask on that.
| |
| 14:01 | <BlackDark> I'm using ltsp 5
| |
| 14:02 | <Gadi> which 1220?
| |
| 14:02 | <BlackDark> I don't thing it exist nvidia based diskless terminal, doens't it ?
| |
| 14:02 | the pxe model
| |
| 14:02 | on the disklessworkstations.com site
| |
| 14:02 | <Gadi> which manufacturer?
| |
| 14:02 | ah
| |
| 14:02 | <sbalneav> No, "thin client" and "Huge honkin high powered video" are usually mutually exclusive :)
| |
| 14:03 | <Gadi> sbalneav: ur so presumptuous ;)
| |
| 14:03 | <BlackDark> I know that the CN700 has an acceleration chip
| |
| 14:03 | but wondering if I could use beryl with it
| |
| 14:03 | <sbalneav> Having a really powerful video card in a thin client usually doesn't buy you much, unless you're going to run apps locally.
| |
| 14:03 | <Gadi> not true
| |
| 14:04 | only if you tunnel through ssh is that true
| |
| 14:04 | <BlackDark> the rendering of the apps is done on locally
| |
| 14:04 | <Gadi> otherwise, there's a BIG diff with a good videocard
| |
| 14:04 | X is network transparent
| |
| 14:04 | <BlackDark> actually I'm puzzled what to do
| |
| 14:04 | <sbalneav> Yeah, but LIMITED TO NETWORK SPEED.
| |
| 14:04 | <BlackDark> 1. buy some terminals at diskless workstations
| |
| 14:05 | 2. buy some old small factor pcs like old dell
| |
| 14:05 | I've a gig network
| |
| 14:05 | <sbalneav> i.e. having an ati Rage 128 versus a Radeon 9800 makes not a lot of difference on a 100 meg network.
| |
| 14:05 | <BlackDark> thee goal is to have 2 silent terminals on our desks
| |
| 14:05 | <Gadi> sbalneav: common misconception
| |
| 14:05 | <BlackDark> to work at home
| |
| 14:06 | <Gadi> the network speed is not always the bottleneck
| |
| 14:06 | <sbalneav> Oh really? So I suppose my 7+ years of experience with it is irrelevant. :)
| |
| 14:06 | <BlackDark> the server itselft could be the bottleneck
| |
| 14:06 | the terminal too
| |
| 14:06 | <Gadi> yup
| |
| 14:06 | :)
| |
| 14:06 | <sbalneav> Gadi-- :)
| |
| 14:06 | <BlackDark> I have some visara terms, based on cyrix chipset
| |
| 14:06 | ie 233 mhz cpu
| |
| 14:06 | and I can't work with that
| |
| 14:06 | it's too slow
| |
| 14:07 | plamengr has quit IRC | |
| 14:07 | <BlackDark> even in xdmcp mode
| |
| 14:07 | <sbalneav> A crappy via video vs a good video card, yep, difference
| |
| 14:08 | a good video card vs the best video card out there = not much difference, other than local apps.
| |
| 14:08 | <bjohnson> sbalneav: no error message displays, it just goes back to login screen
| |
| 14:08 | <sbalneav> THEN it makes a huge difference.
| |
| 14:08 | <BlackDark> sbalneav, so you say the terminals with a via chip set are crappy then ?
| |
| 14:08 | <bjohnson> doesn't even show the kde startup dialog
| |
| 14:08 | <BlackDark> actually I'd like some good rendering for apps
| |
| 14:08 | <sbalneav> BlackDark: Depends on what you want. I use a ton of them, but then, most of my stuff's simple word processing and web browsing. Not much video going on.
| |
| 14:09 | <BlackDark> I won't play games on the terminals
| |
| 14:09 | sbalneav, how is a video playing rendering ?
| |
| 14:09 | for youtube, a movie trailer for instance ?
| |
| 14:09 | <sbalneav> it's bytes down the wire. One frame at a time.
| |
| 14:10 | <Gadi> bjohnson: do you have any custom scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
| |
| 14:10 | <bjohnson> no
| |
| 14:10 | <BlackDark> on a test machine here, which is an old PII-400 video rendering is quite alright
| |
| 14:11 | it has an old ati video card, using the xorg ati driver
| |
| 14:11 | <sbalneav> So if it works, you're golden.
| |
| 14:12 | It's a case of diminishing returns. At some point, you're going to be limited by wire speed.
| |
| 14:12 | <BlackDark> yes off course
| |
| 14:13 | I think I'm gonna buy the 1220 and testing it
| |
| 14:14 | zodman has quit IRC | |
| 14:16 | <sbalneav> Gadi: Certainly, a bad video card's gonna make things worse. But what I'm saying is, given keeping the machine speed the same, and installing a card that, say, has 16 times the performance, you're not gonna see the same performance boost on a TC the way you'd see it on a local box.
| |
| 14:17 | <Gadi> there are lots of variable when it comes to video
| |
| 14:18 | most people say good video is impossible on a thin client
| |
| 14:18 | when, I can run 1024x768 fullscreen sync'd video with no problems with pulseaudio+directx
| |
| 14:19 | a lot of the video 'problems' that folks have had in the past have been software related not hardware
| |
| 14:19 | poor codecs,
| |
| 14:19 | wrong graphic language
| |
| 14:19 | broken esd ;)
| |
| 14:19 | <bjohnson> remote users can't login when session=gnome is selected on login screen either .. so it must be kdm related issue
| |
| 14:19 | <Gadi> yet the finger always is most easily directed at network bandwidth
| |
| 14:20 | which very rarely has been the bottleneck
| |
| 14:20 | and certainly is not when only one thin client is involved and there are issues
| |
| 14:20 | bjohnson: have you checked the logs?
| |
| 14:21 | <BlackDark> playing video is supported, the guys of mini-myth are doing it with mythtv
| |
| 14:21 | they packaged a netboot installation for a mythtv client
| |
| 14:21 | so playing full screen is supported
| |
| 14:22 | <bjohnson> as much as I can. /var/log/secure shows a successful login via pam
| |
| 14:22 | <Gadi> mythtv is a different case, as the video runs locally
| |
| 14:22 | sbalneav and I are talking remote video
| |
| 14:23 | bjohnson: make kdm log more
| |
| 14:23 | :)
| |
| 14:23 | I think there's a setting
| |
| 14:23 | <bjohnson> /var/log/messages shows: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process
| |
| 14:23 | <Gadi> tho, im not a big kdm guy
| |
| 14:28 | <BlackDark> Gadi, can I use openchrome with ltsp ?
| |
| 14:28 | <Gadi> are you on LTSP5?
| |
| 14:29 | (the answer is yes to both, its just a matter of how trivial it is to implement)
| |
| 14:30 | <BlackDark> yes I do
| |
| 14:30 | how stable/fast is the openchrome driver ?
| |
| 14:30 | <Gadi> it is stable - I know ogra has used it)
| |
| 14:30 | I think it just works for some chipsets and not others
| |
| 14:31 | and it overwrites the standard via driver
| |
| 14:31 | you cannot have them both installed at the same time
| |
| 14:31 | but, give it a try
| |
| 14:31 | I think its in universe
| |
| 14:32 | <BlackDark> good
| |
| 14:32 | I'll
| |
| 14:32 | <Gadi> sorry - unichrome
| |
| 14:32 | not openchrome
| |
| 14:32 | try unichrome
| |
| 14:33 | <BlackDark> it's just to chroot, and then apt-get remove, apt-get install it
| |
| 14:33 | xserver-xorg-video-unichrome
| |
| 14:34 | unichrome is the only one in the repositories
| |
| 14:34 | <Gadi> yeah
| |
| 14:34 | <BlackDark> apt-cache search via |grep chrome
| |
| 14:34 | xserver-xorg-video-unichrome - X.Org X server -- VIA display driver
| |
| 14:34 | <Gadi> try unichrome

| |
| 14:35 | xserver-xorg-video-unichrome - X.Org X server -- VIA display driver
| |
| 14:35 | my mistake
| |
| 14:35 | <Gadi> you need to edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| 14:35 | and add universe
| |
| 14:35 | then chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update
| |
| 14:35 | etc
| |
| 14:36 | <BlackDark> apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-unichrome

| 19:19 | <sbalneav> Not sure using gdm

| 20:17 | <NefariousAryq> Hey guys, is there a list of Touch Screens that are known to work in the LTSP environment, anywhere?
| |
| 20:17 | <sbalneav> No, don't think so.
| |
| 20:18 | But there was a question about this on the mailing list, and someone responded.
| |
| 20:18 | Listed a brand they said worked.
| |
| 20:18 | With ltsp5, any touch screen that works well in X should work with ltsp
| |
| 20:20 | <NefariousAryq> Yeah, that was me that posted the question... hehe :-D I was just wanting to do some price comparison... ELO's are a lil more expensive. But if they're known to work great, then thats what I'll go with.
| |
| 20:21 | I'm going to be using 4.2, still, cuz I'm on Slackware.
| |
| 20:22 | <sbalneav> Do you need localdev or sound support?
| |
| 20:23 | <NefariousAryq> Nope.
| |
| 20:23 | <sbalneav> You could use ltsp5 then.
| |
| 20:23 | We've got tarballs on ltsp.org
| |
| 20:24 | <NefariousAryq> Well I was looking at the new LTSP Term 1000 PXE, because of its size and price, and it has plenty of power for what I'll be using it for. and I saw on the DisklessWorkstation site it said we recommend this client with 4.2.
| |
| 20:32 | Speaking of that 1000, anyone used one yet? They look awesome, nice and cheap and tiny.
| |
| 20:33 | <sbalneav> I've got one.
| |
| 20:33 | It's cheap and tiny.
| |
| 20:33 | <NefariousAryq> lol.
| |
| 20:33 | Works nicely?
| |
| 20:34 | <sbalneav> Like I say, it's cheap and tiny.
| |
| 20:34 | <NefariousAryq> Heh.
| |
| 20:34 | IC.
| |
| 20:35 | <sbalneav> We've spent a fair amount of time getting it to work better under ltsp5
| |
| 20:36 | <NefariousAryq> So, let me get this straihgt, make sure I understand this... if I downloaded the Ubuntu "package" of LTSP5, and put it under /opt/ on my Slackware server... the clients would technically be Ubuntu LTSP5 clients, running on Slackware? :)
| |
| 20:36 | <sbalneav> Yep
| |
| 20:37 | The client will be running Ubuntu.
| |
| 20:37 | <NefariousAryq> Interesting.
| |
| 20:37 | Perhaps since this is a brand new project, unrelated to my other LTSP projects, I'll give that a try.
| |
| 20:38 | What sort of boot time does the 1000 get, with LTSP 5, nowadays? I see it says 3+ min on the D/W page.
| |
| 20:39 | Sorry for so many question :-D
| |
| 20:41 | <sbalneav> 'bout 80 seconds.
| |
| 20:41 | but even on the exitsting ltsp5, it's just the boot time that's slow.
| |
| 20:42 | <NefariousAryq> OH okay.
| |
| 20:42 | Well thats good then.
