hp 1020 behaves odd in ubuntu
00:00
it pronts from windows but not from ubuntu some times
00:00
any idea?

how i remotely monitor my printers
00:10
any tool available from command line?
00:13
<whiprush>
krinns: cups has an entire suite of cli tools
00:13
look at their man pages.
00:14
<krinns>
which one
00:14
<whiprush>
you likely won't find much printing help here, this is mostly for people who need ltsp-specific support

krinns: I'd love to tell you that it's all easy and trivial, but it isn't. Printing is a pain and the only way to handle the beast is to learn all this crap. Sorry. :-/
00:20
<krinns>
ya
00:21
printing is really crap
00:21
all my printers are working except one 1020 and 1022
00:21
<whiprush>
I dealt with printers all of yesterday, it can be extremely frustrating
00:21
<krinns>
though am running 1022 already

06:15
<Q-FUNK>
we haven't use kernel 2.6.9 in ages
06:15
it sounds like LTSP 4.x

<menoz>
hi all! I've some problems with home file permissions, can somebody help me?
07:47
I'm using debian etch, and all seems to work
07:48
except for one thing: users cannot write or modify files in theis homes.
07:49subir_ has quit IRC
07:49
<menoz>
I think the problem isn't in the NFS server, but in the client itself which mounts the partition as Read-only.
07:49
Is it possible?
07:50
Otherwise... can you give me some precious advice?
07:51
<cliebow>
menoz:nfs mount of the root filesystem shouldnt affect the home you see
07:51
on a client
07:52
<menoz>
ok but is it normal that any user cannot modify or create any file in their home?
07:52
<cliebow>
seems wonky..what distro is thisx?
07:53
<menoz>
etch
07:53
debian
07:53
<cliebow>
heh..you already said so..vagrantc is the feller to ask..
07:54
is this using local apps?
07:54
<ogra>
are you using a fat client setup over there ?
07:55
<cliebow>
menoz: ask the guru here..
07:55
<menoz>
well, good point: I do not know how and were to set up the fat/thin behaviour
07:55
<ogra>
ok
07:55
<menoz>
however, I do want thin client.
07:55
<ogra>
so where do you mount the home ? on the client ? or just from another server to the server ?
07:56
<menoz>
on the client I see the /opt/ltsp/i386/home/user directory
07:56
and that isn't writable
07:57
but I do not mount any other dirs.
07:57
<ogra>
what for would you need that ? there are no users on a thin client (and there shouldnt be) root is even locked in the default setup
07:57
<cliebow>
if using a gui you should be seeing your server desktop...
07:57
<ogra>
if you log in you are running the session on the server, there is no need to mount any home to the client
07:58
<menoz>
And if I (the user) want to create a document? Where will I store it?
07:58mikkel has joined #ltsp
07:58
<ogra>
on the server in the users home
07:59
<menoz>
ok, this is the behaviour I need
07:59
but acrually
07:59
<ogra>
right, that happens automatically
07:59
no need to tweak anything
07:59
just create the users you want on the server and be happy :)
08:00
<menoz>
well.. actually, on my machine I see the kdm login manager (that I've installed in the chroot)
08:00
<ogra>
thats broken
08:00
<menoz>
Shouldn't I install thinks in chroot?
08:00
<ogra>
remove the chroot and run ltsp-build-client again
08:00
no
08:00
unless you know exactly what you are doing
08:00
<cliebow>
?
08:00
ahhh
08:01
<menoz>
great :) I was wrong, and this make me VERY happy because now I start to realize how it works! :)
08:01
so, I run ltsp-build-client
08:01FernandoMM has joined #ltsp
08:01
<ogra>
the thin client boots a readonly filesystem via nfs from the server, starts X and various other essential services and runs ldm, the ltsp login manager
08:01
<menoz>
and then... I think I should install kde or similar on the main server, right?
08:02
<ogra>
if you log in through that, the command ssh -X $USER@$SERVER /etc/X11/Xsession is executed
08:02
<cliebow>
menoz:you do hasve a gui on server right?
08:02gypsymauro has joined #ltsp
08:02
<gypsymauro>
hi
08:02
<ogra>
so actually you're logged in on the server now ;)
08:02
<cliebow>
ho!
08:03
<menoz>
yep, I'm logged
08:03
I'm erasing /opt/ltsp
08:03
<gypsymauro>
I've installed ltsp 5 on ubuntu feisty and it works , but I want ltspfs to mount just floppy and usb keys not CD or local partitions on terminals, how can I achieve this?
08:03
<menoz>
and now I'm running ltsp-build-client
08:04
<ogra>
gypsymauro, sudo chmod -x /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/cdpinger gets rid of CDs quick and dirty
08:05
<gypsymauro>
ogra: ok and for the disk?
08:05
<ogra>
no easy solution
08:05
<cliebow>
ogra:those are in fuse rules?
08:05
<gypsymauro>
I looked at udev rules but I didn't achieve that
08:06
<cliebow>
heh..i mean udev
08:06
<ogra>
right, they are in the ltspfs udev rules
08:06
<gypsymauro>
yes but I didn't understand how to add this one.. I dunno exaclty where is the point where it understand that is a disk
08:07
<ogra>
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432024
08:07
there is a patch, try it :)
08:08
<cliebow>
and report back 8~)
08:08
<ogra>
(note the naming of the fstab file is different in feisty (IIRC))
08:08
<menoz>
ogra: Thanks you very much for your help! ;) Now it seems working, thanks!!!
08:08
<ogra>
gypsymauro, the thing is, it doesnt understand its a disk :)
08:09
it just sees a blockdevice of any kind
08:09exodos_ has joined #ltsp

that code definately needs improvement, but focus until gutsy was on bootspeed and new ldm
08:10
i think we'll have more ltspfs work in gutsy+1

Ogra: Goodmorning to you. Did you see that guy the other day who
09:05
was talking about his usb over ethernet solution?
09:06
<ogra>
i heard about the project but didnt see any guy here
09:06
<joebaker>
Apparently he can get a usb device on a thin client to show up on the server's
09:06
usb chain as a local device.
09:06
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
a problem: i don't have /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.6.9-ltsp-3
09:07
plz help me
09:07
<joebaker>
He poked his head into the irc channel a couple days back.
09:07
<ogra>
joebaker, if its the project i know it needs a lot of kernel patches
09:07
which is no option for us
09:07
since ltsp5 relies on a consistent handling of stuff in the distros
09:08
<joebaker>
I understand. I didn't need it, just thought I'd mention it.
09:08
<ogra>
we're working on a hal module to have devices available in that layer
09:08
<joebaker>
neat
09:08
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
joebaker, Do you have /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.6.9-ltsp-3 on your server?
09:08
<ogra>
which should be sufficient and lesst intrusive :)
09:09
<joebaker>
m_pahlevanzadeh checking....
09:09
My ltsp 5 implementation has 2.6.20-15-386 instead.
09:10
Checking an older machine...
09:10
<ogra>
there was no 2.6.9 ltsp5
09:10
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
joebaker, i have ltsp5 too 2.6.18
09:10
<ogra>
sounds like feisty
09:11
(or was that 2.6.20 ....)
09:11
<joebaker>
I've got an old deployment probably (4.1) 2.4.26-ltsp-2
09:11
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
joebaker, but when my client starting to boot, kernel mentions to /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.6.9-ltsp-3
09:11
<ogra>
yeah, 2.4 is surely ltsp 4
09:11
<joebaker>
And another (4.2) 2.6.16.1-ltsp-1 and 2.6.16.1-ltsp-2

m_pahlevanzadeh, looks like you have messed up your ltsp install
09:13
<joebaker>
m_pahlevanzadeh: Your DHCP configuration file would tell what kernel to load.
09:13
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ok
09:13
thx
09:13
<joebaker>
Maybe you could examine what kernel you have and make that
09:13
available in the dhpcd.conf file.
09:15
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
wow
09:15
<ogra>
well
09:16
that should all have heppened by default
09:16
i guess you tried to install ltsp4 and ltsp5 alongside
09:16
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
joebaker, i changing tftpd directory, therefore i can't see it
09:16
<ogra>
all you need for ubuntu is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
09:16
so i'd suggest cleaning up the mess and start over
09:22plamengr has quit IRC

joebaker, i have changed to 2.6.18 & receive new error: nfsmount : need a path

09:26
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
wow
09:26
problem does relates to dhcp
09:26
<Q-FUNK>
ogra: does mkelfimage 2.7-3 build and work on ubuntu?
09:29

09:39
<cliebow>
m_pahlevanzadeh, maybe you should pastebot your dhcpd.conf

cliebow: "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.
09:39
<ogra>
well, if he uses ltsp5 there should be one in place
09:40
unless vagrant brke that while puling from ubuntu :P
09:40
<cliebow>
something pretty wierd there..
09:41
<ogra>
well, thats debian
09:41
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
cliebow, i use dhcp3
09:41
<ogra>
they inisist on having *everything* configurable, even if it breaks usablility
09:41
so the sexy default setup we have upstream and in ubuntu isnt really used in debian, lots of manual work
09:42
but i guess users wahnted that if they coose debian :)
09:42
<ltsppbot>
"m_pahlevanzadeh" pasted "my dhcpd.conf" (73 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/247
09:43
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
cliebow, plz consider my dhcpd.conf
09:44
<ogra>
filename needs to be:
09:44
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
09:44
thatws where the default points to
09:45
<exodos>
hi, i'm working on enabling ltspfs support under freeNX, where can I find some more info about ltspfs authentication?
09:45
<ogra>
option 128 and 129 only make sense if you have etherboot clients
09:45
exodos, ltspfs in newer releases relies on the ssh tunnel to be authenticated properly
09:46
all commmunication is done through ldm's ssh tunnel
09:46
older releases (in ltsp 4.2) used Xauth data
09:46
<exodos>
nx also uses ssh, isn't there a way to integrate it somewhow?
09:46
<ogra>
exodos, in any case sbalnbeav is your man
09:47
does ssh use a sepatrate tunnel for communication?
09:47
err
09:47
does nx use indeed :)
09:47
we have one that establishes a socket first ....
09:48
through that socket all subsequent actions are executed
09:48
(i.e. the users session)
09:48
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, i have changed to your suggestion, but i have recevied File not Found before loading kernel
09:48
<ogra>
(or the mounter script for ltspfs devices ;) )
09:48
m_pahlevanzadeh, and you are sure you dont have any ltsp4 stuff installed ? that surely breaks ...
09:49
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, i have LTSP5
09:49
<ogra>
ltsp-utils would be3 such a candidate .... we banned it from ubuntu but it still seems to be in debian and not conflict with the ltsp5 packages
09:49
installing that along with ltsp5 and running any of the scripts will break the ltsp5 setup
09:49
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, of course, before me, my friend has installed a ltsp4
09:50
ogra, how i do now?
09:50
<ogra>
you could check a ton of settings that were changed ...
09:50
my suggestion would really be to wipe everything ltsp related and start obver
09:51
having both on the system alongside will really only cause trouble
09:51
<exodos>
ogra: which process on terminal is actually starting this ssh tunnel?
09:52
<ogra>
make sure to have no /tftpboot dir, that the tftprrot in /etc/inetd.conf points to the ltsp5 dir, that you use the right rootpath etc ....
09:52
if you have solved all these to get your ltsp5 runjning i have set up 10 ltsp servers with ltsp5... it saves time to start over :)
09:52
exodos, ldm
09:53
the login manager
09:53
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, i have tftpd-hpa & its dir pinted to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
09:53
ogra, because i coped my kernel files to that
09:53
<ogra>
m_pahlevanzadeh, thats wrong for a start ... really, start over it will take you ages to ficx the bits and pieces
09:55
running ltsp-build-client will take you max 30min on a slow connection ... and all should work fine afterwards if debian didnt break it
09:55
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, will i do copy to /tftboot ?
09:55
<ogra>
nbo
09:55
wipe that
09:55
and all other ltsp4 stuff as well
09:56
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, ltsp5 create $MYTFTPBOOT/ltsp/i386
09:56
<ogra>
depends
09:57
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, although ltsp4 has $MYTFTPBOOT/lts
09:57
<ogra>
if you had ltsp4 before it might have just put its files into that dir alongside with the 4.2 files ...
09:57
the 4.2 packages try to first use /opt/ltsp/i386
09:57
ltsp5 doesnt care and uses that as well
09:58
if you do another 4.2 install it will resort to different dir names
09:58
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, wow, i have 2 dir /opt/ltsp & /opt/ltsp-4.2

ogra: i'm reading now sourcecode of ltspfs-0.4.3 (ltsp5 on ubuntu) and it looks like it still uses MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE for authentication. do it use something different in cvs, or is this change planned in the near future?
10:01
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, 5 installed kernel modules in both dir
10:02
ogra, where i download 2.6.9-lts-3 modules?
10:03
<ogra>
m_pahlevanzadeh, thats an ltsp4 kernel, you dont want it in ltsp5
10:03
clean up and start over
10:03
exodos, oh, you mean the ltspfsd binary itself ?
10:03
<exodos>
yeah
10:04
<ogra>
it doesnt care about auth at all ... given that a user who wanted to make any use of it wuold first have to hack into the thin client to read device names and fstab structure it doesnt really make sense
10:05
it has a switch for the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE stuff we dont use
10:06
<exodos>
ok, im lost :)
10:06
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, 2.6.18 is loaded,but it messaged me "Running /scripts/nfs-premount ..."
10:06
<exodos>
is there any docs i could read?
10:07
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, & it repeats it ....
10:07
<ogra>
m_pahlevanzadeh, i dont have the time to fix every single bit in your setup ... dont install ltsp4 and 5 alongside is the simple solution ...
10:07
clean up your system, pick one and use that
10:08
exodos, if you plug in a device on a client a kernel event is triggered ... udev picks that up and executes a script that adds the device and a mountpoint to fstab ...
10:09
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, i didn't time & my boss wants to travel to US, & he told me "wanna to see my server"
10:09
<ogra>
if the tunnel exists it executes a script in the users session on the server ... *that* does the actual mounting from the client to the server
10:09
<exodos>
m'kay
10:10
<ogra>
we scured the trigger and make sure the communication happens through the ssh tunnel
10:10
*secured
10:10
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, please read following story , because its same my problem & solved & McQuilan was answered
10:10
ogra, http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg31346.html
10:11
<ogra>
m_pahlevanzadeh, thats a totally different problem about a bug in intramfs where it didnt properly read the root-path entry
10:11
your root-path entry was correct in the dhcpd.conf you pasted
10:12
make sure to revert all changes to inetd.conf use a proper dhcpd.conf (i.e. the one that ltsp5 ships) and make sure to have a clean /opt/ltsp/i386 root built with ltsp-build-client
10:14
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, he/she mentioned to Running /scripts/nfs/pre-mount
10:14mikkel has quit IRC
10:14

ok, so if I would hack a bit nxclient, and start an ssh connection to ltsp-server before the nxclient would log in to the server, ltspfs would work. Am i right?

m_pahlevanzadeh, this mail is *NOT* related to your prob at all

ogra, ty for your time
10:15
<ogra>
exodos, even if you create a socket for the nx session .... if you use plain ssh that should be available there as well
10:16
m_pahlevanzadeh, if you want it quickly fixed wipe all ltsp stuff and run ltsp-build-client, really
10:16
unless debian broke it everything will work out of the box then
10:17
<m_pahlevanzadeh>
ogra, well done to me
10:17
ogra, i have deleted init=/linuxrc from default file

10:23
after that it hangs up

the message is irrelevant i think..this is lsp4.x

something new every day..
10:33
course ltsp is new every day 8~)
10:33
<Gadi>
ogra, you definitely help fuel my procrastination - i know if I wait long enough, i'll be able to apt-get upgrade the new ldm ;)
10:33
<ogra>
only until beta freeze :)

Gadi, get ltsp-client-core as well .. scott made some changes to the screen scripts too
10:34
<Gadi>
ok
10:34
my only complaint of late was when configure.sh moved to core instead of setup
10:34
:(
10:34
<ogra>
configure.sh ?
10:34
<Gadi>
yeah
10:35
<ogra>
which one ?
10:35
we have three atm
10:35
<Gadi>
you call it from /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-core
10:35muh2000 has joined #ltsp
10:35
<ogra>
oh, you mean the X config script
10:35
<vagrantc>
/usr/lib/ltsp/ltsp_config ?
10:35
<ogra>
i eed to rename that :)
10:35
<Gadi>
:)
10:36
before, when you had it in setup, if there were any additional changes I wanted to make, I could run a later init script before core
10:36* vagrantc curses scripts that end in any dot-extension
10:36
<Gadi>
now, I need to patch the file
10:36
<_EXP>
10:36
<ogra>
Gadi, the prob with that is that we eed to start X once o get the DDC info
10:37
<Gadi>
ah
10:37
<ogra>
to make that hidden from te user the only opportunity is to d it right if ldm starts X
10:37* ogra digs for some vowels
10:37* Gadi looks for Vanna White

ogra: dude. kill the Debian-Edu theme already.
10:39
<Gadi>
ogra: well, they may not be germaine to ltsp
10:40
I am using the LTSP chroot as part of another project
10:40
<cliebow>
_EXP, perhaps you'll have to set SCREEN_01=shell and run startx from there so on client you can read xorg.0.log
10:40
<ogra>
vagrantc, why ? it nicey shows te edubuntu logog :)
10:40m_pahlevanzadeh has left #ltsp
10:41
<ogra>
Gadi, setting CONFIGURE_X=False should help as well to skip that scipt btw
10:41
<robbie>
hi all
10:41
<vagrantc>
ogra: because Debian-Edu no longer uses the LDM supplied theme
10:41
<ogra>
i'd really like to have all options for you in to make your life easier ;)
10:41
<Gadi>
ogra: well, I want to use the script still, just making additional mods to the conf file it produces
10:41
ok - but for example, one mod is for touchscreen stuff
10:42
<vagrantc>
and we really need to start making symlinks instead of copying the .pngs to each profile ... or ideally make a default directory and themes only differ (kind of like the plugins for ltsp-build-client)
10:42
<Gadi>
actually, maybe I *could* get some stuff to you that might be of some use
10:42* Gadi will have another look at his mods
10:43
<ogra>
Gadi, thatd be cool and probably help others
10:43
vagrantc, thats what ldm2 does
10:43
<Gadi>
yeah- I have this whole calibration sequence with this really awful calibration utility
10:43
;)
10:43
<ogra>
vagrantc, the make istall only creates the default theme dir
10:43
<Gadi>
but, at the end, it produces lts.conf params
10:43
<ogra>
vagrantc, all other bits are pulled in by me ...
10:43
<Gadi>
and then those munge the conf that your script creates

10:47

ltsp-client-builder is wha debian-installer uses to install LTSP
10:47
it's a hook to cal ltsp-build-client
10:47
<Gadi>
sure. why not?
10:47* vagrantc looks arounf for some consonants
10:47
<cliebow>

it's been around for years

or from her crypt? she must be a hundred years old by now
10:52

i should probably give ldm2 a whirl on debian again
10:53
<ogra>
try the new code
10:53
<vagrantc>
newer than what you just uploaded to gutsy ?
10:54
<ogra>
nope
10:54
thats the latest
10:55

"new code" != "the latest" ?
10:56

:P
10:56

i.e. huh?
10:56

it hangs up with other machine too... same spot
10:56

merged today ....

so, the code you recommend me trying is ... what you just uploaded to gutsy ?
10:58

is there a possibility that these are caused by ubuntu 7.04 and ltsp 4.2? should I use ltsp 5?
11:41
<vagrantc>
if you're having problems with LTSP 4.2, i would strongly recommend switching to an LTSP 5 implementation, especially if it's on ubuntu.
11:45
<cliebow>
_EXP:you see you are all the way rhru rc.sysinit in 4.2.. it has to be an x prob i'd think
11:46
wanna pastebot your lts.conf?

I am installing whole thing from beginning.... i let you know if problem still exist
12:06

12:44

klausade: no
12:45
mattwalston: same as always
12:45
mattwalston: not much
12:45
klausade: looking at it now
12:46
klausade: though the python ldm will be obsoleted soonish
12:47
klausade: and for consistancy, subprocess should be used instead of popen
12:48
klausade: but something along those lines is what i was thinking of, yes.
12:49
<klausade>
vagrantc: yeah, neither uf us are any good at python, so someone who knows(tm) should make it better. But we just needed something that would do some kind of balancing, or we would have to go back to ltsp4.2.
12:50
vagrantc: for us this is good enough for a while. But there will be such a feature in ldm2?
12:58
<vagrantc>
klausade: definitely is a planned feature, yes.
