hey all ! just needed to know if s/w patch support for K12ltsp has been dropped or what ?
05:28
<ogra>
Jenna, if you mean ltsp5 support, nobody stepped up the last two years to port it to redhat yet ...
05:28
i cant say anything about k12 itself, but i know eric harrison is extremly busy with his job
05:39
<Jenna>
hmm
05:40
no the thing is for couple of months now all of my k12ltsp servers stopped yum updating anything
05:40
so I guess it related to k12ltsp and not ltsp
05:40
but since k12ltsp is packages with ltsp , I thought I might ask this in here
05:53
anyone who can speak on behalf of k12ltsp ?

ogra: scotty get you all squared away with the build problems of yesterday?
06:37* ogra finally got scotts stuff building
06:38
<ogra>
not all of them, but fixing the remaining things was trivial enough
06:38
<jammcq>
great
06:38
<ogra>
we have session and lang selection back :)
06:38
and we have a hardcoded failsafe xterm session now :)
06:39
so if nothing works, this will ...
06:43
<jammcq>
where does that give you an xterm, into the server?
06:44
<ogra>
yep
06:44
as long as xterm is in PATH
06:44

Morning
07:35
<ByPasS>
Guaraldo : you have an idea who could give me hint about using the XF86CONFIG_FILE directive in lts.conf ?
07:36
the edubuntu states to put the custom file in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc , did that but when the client boots it gives me an error
07:36
tried to put in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11 same result
07:37
<Guaraldo>
ByPasS: Why do you need this option?
07:40
<ogra>
ByPasS, which release ?
07:49gentgeen__ has joined #ltsp
07:49
<ByPasS>
im using ltsp5 with debian etch
07:49
<ogra>
whats the line for XF86CONFIG_FILE in your lts.conf looking like ?
07:50
<ByPasS>
XF86CONFIG_FILE = XF86Config.lt01
07:50
XF86Config.lt01 is in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc
07:51
Gua : Im testing a new thinclient (bosanova rbt-366) and it uses an AMD vid cardf
07:51
I had to install xserver-xorg-video-amd
07:52
now i get a display but it fails to auto prob my monitor using that xserver (odd)
07:52
<ogra>
your line should be: XF86CONFIG_FILE = /etc/XF86Config.lt01
07:53
the path for the file needs to be relative to the chroot
07:53
<ByPasS>
oh
07:54
Ill try that, the edubuntu doc misleaded me
07:56
<ogra>
which doc was that
07:56
<ByPasS>
mind if i paste the url ?
07:57
<ogra>
the shipped doc in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples/lts-parameters.txt.gz says "relative to /opt/ltsp/$ARCH" in the comments to the var
07:57
please paste it
07:57
<ByPasS>
http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/ltsp-client.html
07:58
<ogra>
right, thats wrong
07:58
i'll take care it gets fixed, thanks for the pointer
07:58
<ByPasS>
well thanks to you :)

i cannot access the local devices on ltsp 4.2
08:41
cdrom for example
08:42
i flow the document in http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LocalMedia, but not sucess :-(
08:43
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: http://www.golem.de/0708/54153.html <-- think thats what for you :-)
08:46
<ogra>
K_O-Gnom, yeah, the open community servers :)
08:46
thats what you get if everyone has access
08:46
<K_O-Gnom>
every one has access to that servers? so everybody can do everything?
08:47
<ogra>
these are the servers where community devs can do testbuilds etc
08:48
<K_O-Gnom>
billguedes: i want to visit your link and the wiki told me that there iss no wiki entry ..
08:48
ogra: ok ...
08:48
<ogra>
not *everybody* but its easy to get into the ubuntu-members team which is the base for access here
08:48

<ltspbot>
ogra: "troubleshooting" is http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/TroubleShooting

billguedes, ^^^^ try that one
08:49
<K_O-Gnom>
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42-LocalDev#Troubleshooting
08:49
thats what i found
08:49
<ogra>
right
08:50
K_O-Gnom, all these servers are not even accessible by canonical people btw, the community maintains them, canonical sponsors one or the other though
08:51
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: thats what i tought ... the power and hardware is payed by canonical and others use them :-)
08:51
<ogra>
right
08:52
<K_O-Gnom>
crab the gentoo-wiki dont work ..
08:52* ogra jus uploaded the latest ldm code to gutsy ...
08:52
<ogra>
time for a break
08:53
<billguedes>
ok
08:54
i didn't read all document
08:54
sorry
08:56
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: did you know wich websites and so is running at that servers?
08:58Blinny has joined #ltsp

<EXP2>
I have ltsp5 running and after logout mouse cursor disappear. Any suggestions?
09:08
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: i figured out how i can set $ESPEAKER on gentoo for every user :-)
09:11
<Blinny>
Wow. So I think bonobo has created 18000+ /tmp/orbit-{USERNAME}-{HEXCODE} socket handling files when FreeNX didn't play right.
09:19
<K_O-Gnom>
is there a way to get the hostname of the client into a variable on the server?
09:20
<ByPasS>
K_O : U can make your dhcpd to assign a static ip to a client (based on its mac address)
09:20
K_O : then u can add that ip in /etc/hosts with a name of your choice
09:21
<billguedes>
EXP2, which document do you used?
09:21
<K_O-Gnom>
ByPasS: thats what im doin at the moment but i want to create a login script on the server wich automaticaly exports $ESPEAKER with the right ip/hosname ..
09:21
+t
09:25
so is there a way to do that?
09:25
<ByPasS>
K_O : I beleive you can use the LDM_REMOTECMD directive in lts.conf for that
09:26
<K_O-Gnom>
ByPasS: is that available on 4.1 ltsp??
09:28
<ByPasS>
K_O : good question I'm fairly new to ltsp and only used v5 so far
09:28
K_O : but id guess so since lts.conf is no longer required (dunno if it was before) in version 5
09:29
<K_O-Gnom>
ByPasS: on gentoo there is atm only 4.2 available so i use that ..
09:29
<ByPasS>
K_O : if the LDM_REMOTECMD doesnt work you can also try RCFILE_01 directive as well
09:30
<K_O-Gnom>
and i think there MUST be a way to get the ip/hostname into an variable .. but atm i not figured out which name it have ..
09:31
ByPasS: the script must run on the server not on the WS .. because the $ESPEAKER must be set on the server (with the .bashrc i can set it staticaly but i want it dynamicaly that more than one user can use one or more WSs ..

I'm trying to get this geode (amd) based thinclient with my ltsp5 installation. I could'nt get a display to work properly with the autodetection (had to restart xserver multiple times to get a display) once in X I had more glitches. I did some datamining on the thinclient and figured it was using xserver-xorg-video-amd. chroot then apt-get installed it and did set XSERVER = amd in my lts.conf file. With those operation, my display problems were fixed. But
13:21
<K_O-Gnom>
Blinny: but if it set once how dos X server know when more than one client logs in where it has to send the output?
13:22
<Gadi>
ByPasS_: I dont know what the but is, but if the but is that you dont get a high resolution, try adding: XORG_SYNC_RANGES=Y
13:22
to lts.conf
13:24savetheWorld has quit IRC
13:24
<ByPasS_>
Gadi : well if i remove the XSERVER = amd I see it tries to launch LDM then the screen blanks. by restarting xserver multiples times sometimes it doesnt blackout (odd) and Im in 1024x768
13:24schregge has joined #ltsp
13:25
<ByPasS_>
Gadi : but as I said, removing xserver = amd makes the background inexistant and leaves a trail if i move windows around once logged in
13:25
Gadi : let me try the XORG_SYNC sec
13:25
<Gadi>
ByPasS_: the amd driver is a bit slow to initialize
13:25
but, it gets there, usually
13:26
<ByPasS_>
on debian in was in unstable i did chroot then apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-amd
13:26
<Gadi>
the main geode issue that I have yet to resolve on the gx's is usplash (boot splash)
13:27
i have to turn it off for it to boot all the way through
13:27
<ByPasS_>
gadi : I got a rbt-366 here
13:27
gadi : i think its gx2 based ?
13:27
<Gadi>
then, it could be the same chipset
13:27
did you have to turn off bootsplash?
13:28
<ByPasS_>
gadi : i didnt, all i did is set to net boot in its bios
13:28
<Gadi>
(ie does it sometimes get stuck at the end of the bootsplash and not continue)
13:28
ah
13:28
try disabling the bootsplash, as well, then. You may get more consistent results
13:29
Ubuntu, for some reason, also does not blacklist the gxfb
13:29
(like it does for almost all other framebuffers)
13:29
including gx1fb
13:29
lol
13:29schregge has quit IRC
13:29
<ByPasS_>
what is odd is if i remove the xserver = amd, it is in 1024x768 (default)
13:29
<Gadi>
But, even with the gxfb disabled, usplash is not happy
13:30
why is that odd?
13:30
<ByPasS_>
well why setting xserver = amd would make ltsp to auto detect a 15inch monitor and set 800x600
13:30
<Gadi>
its not ltsp its the amd driver
13:30
1 sec
13:30
ph call
13:31
<ByPasS_>
oh kk ill try the sync thing
13:32
<Gadi>
back - so...
13:32
the amd driver sucks at detecting the horizontal/vertical sync frequencies
13:32
and the default mode that it usually can fall back on is 800x600
13:32
by adding XORG_SYNC_RANGES=Y
13:32
to lts.conf
13:33
you tell it to print the frequencies in the xorg.conf file that gets generated
13:33
with them explicitly declared, the amd driver is better
13:33
and now can access higher res modes
13:35
sorry, to be clear, XORG_SYNC_RANGES tells dpkg to print the frequencies in the xorg.conf that it generates explicitly
13:36
as dpkg is the method used (at least in Ubuntu's LTSP in Feisty) to generate the xorg.conf
13:36
<ByPasS_>
debian too ?
13:36
<Gadi>
im not sure
13:37
if vagrantc is around, he would know better
13:37
<vagrantc>
debian uses xdebconfigurator + dexconf
13:37
<Gadi>
ah
13:37
<vagrantc>
by default
13:37
<ByPasS_>
I added the xorg_sync_ranges and still 800x600 umm
13:37
<Gadi>
do you know any hacks to get them to print the frequencies in the xorg.conf file?
13:37
<vagrantc>
the new x configuration stuff didn't work for debian at all :(
13:38
Gadi: what do you mean by frequencies ?
13:38
<Gadi>
horizontal/vertical
13:38
<vagrantc>
like 800x600, 1024x768, etc ?
13:38
<Gadi>
the amd driver likes them explicitly declared in xorg.conf
13:38
no
13:38
HorizSync
13:38
<vagrantc>
ah
13:38
<Gadi>
VertRefresh
13:39
<vagrantc>
set HORZSYNC and VERTREFRESH
13:39
<Gadi>
right. that will work for one monitor ;)
13:39* vagrantc looks at the init scripts
13:40
<Gadi>
Blinny: try: X_HORZSYNC=30-80
13:40
<vagrantc>
in my experience, xdebconfigurator always sets the values so that those get set
13:40
<Gadi>
and: X_VERTREFRESH=60-80
13:40
and see if the resolution's better
13:41
sorry, ByPasS_
13:41* ByPasS_ trying
13:41
<vagrantc>
gah. X configuration needs a total overhaul.
13:42
<Gadi>
vagrantc: why didnt configure-x.sh work on debian?
13:42
<vagrantc>
Gadi: no idea.
13:43
<Gadi>
does: X -configure?
13:43
<vagrantc>
Gadi: it seemed to hang the machine, though.
13:43
only tried it on one machine
13:43
<Blinny>
Gadi: Try it yourself! ;)
13:43
<Gadi>
heh
13:43
<vagrantc>
at any rate, i think we should have an X_CONFIG_SCRIPT or some such to more easily define that stuff.
13:44
that way we can hook whatever we want in.
13:44
<Gadi>
vagrantc: does debian run anything on display :1 by default?
13:44
<vagrantc>
Gadi: define "by default" ?
13:44
<ByPasS_>
gadi : i checked in the bios and setting the net boot seems to auto disable the splash it was set to disabled
13:45
<Gadi>
vagrantc: on a thin client
13:45
<vagrantc>
Gadi: i think LDM is configured to run on tty7 with :6 by default.
13:45
<Gadi>
ByPasS_: I meant remove the bootsplash
13:45
in pxelinux.cfg/default
13:45
take out "splash"
13:46
vagrantc: ok. that script (configure-x.sh) does X -configure :1
13:46
so, I thought that might cause your sys to hang
13:46
actually, it does Xorg -configure :1
13:46schregge has joined #ltsp

<ByPasS_>
gadi : so basicly at this point my prob is linked with debian in a way right ?
13:47
<Gadi>
not really
13:47
i dont think
13:48
the problem is just not getting a higher resolution, right?
13:48
<vagrantc>
next time i try configure-x.sh i'm going to comment out that "clear" line.
13:48
<ByPasS_>
Gadi : yup
13:49
Gadi : well yes, using xserver = amd
13:49
<Gadi>
set the horizontal/vertical syncs
13:49
<ByPasS_>
did no go
13:49
<Gadi>
did you try that?
13:49
X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH
13:49vagrantc has quit IRC
13:49
<ByPasS_>
yes both
13:49
<Gadi>
ah
13:49
<ByPasS_>
i did grab the XF86Config from the thinclient itself
13:49
to figure out it was using xserver amd
13:50
<Gadi>
you may need the actual numbers from your monitor
13:51
<ByPasS_>
gadi : if i boot the unit normally (no pxe) it gets in X in 1280 res fine
13:51
(the rbt-366 is a linux thin)
13:51
<Gadi>
ByPasS_: you can always copy that XF86Config file
13:51
to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc
13:52
say, /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/xorg.geode.conf
13:52
and then put: XF86CONFIG_FILE=/etc/xorg.geode.conf
13:52
in lts.conf
13:52
<ByPasS_>
it wont even get to LDM (i tried)
13:52
let me retry tho
13:52
<Gadi>
LDM will take about a minute or so to come up on that thin client I bet
13:53
you should wait ;)
13:53
<ByPasS_>
ok im retrying then
13:53
<Gadi>
part of the latest dev work was redoing LDM in C
13:53
to make it much faster

Hi all
15:08
Could use a little help if possible
15:09
I'm a new admin at a school with an already mlamentedLTSP
15:09
We put in a new set of switches to give the terminals Gb peeds back to the server
15:10
Something broke and now my clients cannot connect to the tftp server
15:10
<ByPasS_>
is the server running ?
15:10
<JDGoddard>
This is likely NOT due to the hardwareeehang but with my mucking around in the configs
15:10
It's the smae as the dhcp so yes
15:12
<ByPasS_>
JDGoddard : netstat -lnp | grep ":69"

15:51
there is no variable
15:51
<K_O-Gnom>
hmm whats with $DISPLAY ?
15:51
ther iss the host name but wit :0.0
15:51

for 4.2 that might work
15:51ccherret1 is now known as ccherrett
15:51
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: im on 4.2 ...
15:52
and i need the ip from the client where i actual loged in not all ..
15:52
<ogra>
so use it
15:52
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: ok ähm ho can i spit it that i only have the hostname without :0.0 ?

how can i test that esd sound daemon is running?
16:03
<ogra_>
ps ax|grep esd :)
16:05
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra_: ther is only grep --colour=auto esd as output so i think its not running ..
16:06
<ogra_>
ps ax|grep esd |grep -v grep
16:06
that will suppress al grep's in the processlist
16:07
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra_: so nothing comes out ..
16:08* ogra_ has no clue how sound handling was implemented in the old days beyond knowing it used esd on the client
16:09
<K_O-Gnom>
the bootup dialog tells me unknown value for SOUND_DAEMON [ESD] some idea?

erm, do you really use ESD for the value ? that shouldnt be capitalized
16:21
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: yes i realized that ..
16:21
ogra: how i have to change that? $ESPEAKER="${SOUNDSERVER_HOST}:16001" that it workes?
16:22
<ogra>
no idea, really
16:22
<K_O-Gnom>
atm i only get :16001 in the $ESPEAKER var ..
16:22
<ogra>
ltsp5 uses alsa emulation on top of a pulseaudio stream ... ask me something about that :P
16:24
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: i only wanna know how i can fill the var $ESPEAKER with the content of $SOUNDSERVER_HOST ..
16:24
<ogra>
well SOUNDSERVER_HOST should be the clients IP i guess
16:25
<K_O-Gnom>
yes filled with your little script sniplet .
16:26
<ogra>
and indeed esd must run on the client and listen to tcp connections ...
16:27
<K_O-Gnom>
ogra: its all ok with esd i only whant to fix my script wich sets $ESPEAKER that dont work
16:28mistik1_ has joined #ltsp

ogra: k now works ther was an error while i set the host var ..
16:33
<vagrantc>
ogra: i think we should just call it X_CONF
16:33
ogra: but he didn't really change it, from what i could read
16:33
<ogra>
vagrantc, well, i think we should stop confusing people by changing var names :)
16:34
no, he implemented it in the new infrastructure with this name
16:34
but the old var should still work, i cant remember removing its code
16:34staffencasa has joined #ltsp
16:35
<ogra>
oh, crap
16:35
<vagrantc>
ogra: yes, and if you change it to XORG_CONF then it won't make sense if we switch away from X.org
16:35
<ogra>
indeed, its only a subfunction of configure_x
16:35
<vagrantc>
right.
16:36
<ogra>
i need to put that on my TODO ...
16:36
thanks for pointing
16:36
inputattach is also out of the loop there ...
16:36
<vagrantc>
but i think we should call it X_CONFIG_FILE or X_CONF or something like that ... and add the backwards compatibility in ltsp_config
16:36
<ogra>
well
16:37
<vagrantc>
seems like configure_x is no longer used at all, and all of the functionality was not moved into the other init script
16:37
<ogra>
the config script we use now can do all the old stuff did, apart from the override file and inputattach
16:38
plus serial touchpads (got that from Gadi yesterday)
16:38
whoever needs that ...

btw, ldm2 should be pretty final now in gutsy ... feature freeze is in effect
16:39
i still havent played with the host selector yet ...
16:39
<vagrantc>
got it working with debian ... will try an experimental version sometime soon
16:40
upload to experimental, anyways
16:40
<ogra>
but all features we had in old ldm are there now and we finally have a failsafe xterm session hardcoded
16:40
so as long as xterm is in PATH users can get in ...
16:40
even without proper Xsession scripts
16:41* ogra also did the german translation for ldm2 today :)
16:41
<ogra>
sadly there are still some bugs in the gettext building stuff scott added
16:41
so translations arent used by the binary :(
16:42
but we'll sort that if scott is back from holiday

LOL
16:56
<vagrantc>
who was it more surprising for ?
16:57

they didn't even know what ltsp was

:(

16:57

believe me, they're aware of what LTSP is now.
16:57
<ogra>
heh
16:59
<whiprush_>
It was great, they were like "So this comes built into the OS? And you have full vendor support?"
16:59
and I was like "Yep, it's awesome"
16:59
<ogra>
you have full vendor support on suns even ;)
16:59
<whiprush_>
yeah, but not on ubuntu
16:59
<ogra>
canonical offers support for niagara ;)
16:59
<whiprush_>
is ltsp on niagra supported? I didn't know
17:00
<ogra>
and i seeno reason why i386 clients shouldnt run on a niagara :)
17:00
ah, well, i think its only the server
17:00
so desktop packages get no official support ...
17:01
<whiprush_>
yeah I had to explain to them how huge LTSP is
17:01
they were quite surprised
17:01
<ogra>
well, that shows that we urgently need more publicity ....
17:02
<whiprush_>
indeed.
17:02
<ogra>
but i count on ubuntu marketing here :)
17:02
we'll make them aware
17:03
<whiprush_>
they took good notes
17:03
I told them they should just get rid of the proprietary server piece and make normal clients like everyone else
17:03
there's probably no reason opensolaris couldn't do ltsp5
17:03
<ogra>
great, if they have any free code to offer to get the rays running, send it to me :)
17:04

yeah, I have like a storage room full of the things

the ones with intel video

17:07

they didn't know much about linux either.
17:08

are they locked in a cellar at sun or something ?
