| 01:27 | <LaserJock> anybody know of a way to lower the CPU usage of a thin client?
| |
| 01:28 | good and easy ways I guess :-)
| |
| 01:28 | <monteslu> which ltsp version?
| |
| 01:28 | ltsp 4.2 didnt take much
| |
| 01:28 | <LaserJock> 5
| |
| 01:28 | edubuntu 7.04
| |
| 01:28 | <monteslu> you can switch off of ssh, but you lose some functionality, I believe
| |
| 01:29 | I think sblaneav is working on fixing things so that you can do local devices without encrypting X
| |
| 01:35 | <mystafa> who can help me with starting X?
| |
| 01:35 | it's not start automatically
| |
| 01:35 | in console i can't login
| |
| 01:35 | ^(
| |
| 01:36 | and, i think, that client don't read lts.conf
| |
| 01:39 | how can i check - read it or not>
| |
| 01:39 | ?

| 05:04 | <schregge> hello
| |
| 05:05 | i am using ltsp-42 and i have a small problem with my scanner connected to a thin client (fujitsu fi-4120C). I can scan about 20 pages and then the scanner will stop in the middle f the page.
| |
| 05:05 | then i have to restart the server...
| |
| 05:09 | mystafa has joined #ltsp | |
| 05:09 | <mystafa> hi!
| |
| 05:10 | when i want to plug a printer to the client, should i plug it in to a server first?
| |
| 05:13 | Envite has joined #ltsp | |
| 05:13 | <Envite> Hola a todos desde España
| |
| 05:14 | tisadmin_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 05:14 | <tisadmin_> hi everybody
| |
| 05:15 | i have a problem to have a pxe boot with an ACCTON EN1207D - TX : tftp timeout
| |
| 05:15 | the over thin client with 3com network are ok
| |
| 05:15 | anyone have an idea ?
| |
| 05:16 | <Envite> tisadmin_: check in the server if the tftp petition is received
| |
| 05:17 | <tisadmin_> i haven't the tftp request
| |
| 05:18 | <Envite> so the problem is before that
| |
| 05:18 | hm
| |
| 05:18 | does the client receive IP?
| |
| 05:19 | <tisadmin_> yes it does
| |
| 05:19 | and over client with an over netcard in the same switch are ok dhcp/tftp/nfs
| |
| 05:20 | <Envite> does the client receive an appropiate IP? that is, an IP in the same range than the other client?
| |
| 05:20 | <tisadmin_> yes it does
| |
| 05:21 | <Envite> ok
| |
| 05:21 | <tisadmin_> and i can see the dhcpoffer in my log
| |
| 05:21 | <Envite> do not trust the log for that, trust the client's screen
| |
| 05:22 | <tisadmin_> the client says the same :)
| |
| 05:22 | <Envite> have you tcpdump installed? or a graphical interface like wireshark?
| |
| 05:25 | <tisadmin_> tcpdump yes
| |
| 05:28 | ari_stress3 has quit IRC | |
| 05:36 | <tisadmin_> Envite: no messages from the client to the tftp server
| |
| 05:36 | tcpdump -i eth0 | grep 192.168.200.21

| |
| 06:14 | subir has joined #ltsp | |
| 06:15 | <Envite> check with tcpdump and try to catch all the dhcp packages, and compare the packages going to eth OK client and the packages going to the FAIL client. I'm suspecting that there is a difference in the DHCP options they receive

| |

| 07:57 | <norita> Hi, I'm using ltsp5, with debian packages. I'm trying to get sound working, but I have no /dev/dsp on my thin client
| |
| 07:58 | in /dev/sndstat, I see "Audio Devices : NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG", but I have SOUND = Y in lts.conf, so I don't understand
| |
| 07:59 | also in /dev/sndstat I see "Card config : Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at ..."
| |
| 08:02 | <Ryudo> norita
| |
| 08:03 | check this how to
| |
| 08:03 | http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Feisty/Ocean_post_install_checklist
| |
| 08:03 | on AUDIO section
| |
| 08:03 | <norita> Thanks
| |
| 08:03 | <Ryudo> my terminals dont have sound because i dont need , but i'm think this how to can help you
| |
| 08:04 | <norita> ok, but this howto is about esd/nasd, I just need /dev/dsp (using rdesktop)
| |
| 08:05 | <ogra> feisty uses alsa ...
| |
| 08:05 | (on top of a pulseaudio trnaspüort layer)
| |
| 08:06 | <Ryudo> ops sorry
| |
| 08:06 | :{
| |
| 08:06 | <norita> yes, but I'm using debian
| |
| 08:07 | <ogra> norita, debian ported the feisty sound stuff for their backports packages for etch afaik
| |
| 08:07 | <norita> :-(
| |
| 08:07 | <ogra> so it should be very very similar
| |
| 08:07 | but wait for vagrant, he's the guy that prots ltsp to debian
| |
| 08:07 | <norita> but how can I make rdesktop work with alsa/pulseaudio,etc..
| |
| 08:07 | <ogra> *ports
| |
| 08:07 | <norita> ok
| |
| 08:08 | thanks
| |
| 08:08 | <ogra> you likely still have the old rdesktop srcipt in that ltsp version (debian uis usually a bit behind) we have a new script for rdesktop in gutsy
| |
| 08:09 | sbalneav has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:09 | <sbalneav> Morning all
| |
| 08:09 | <ogra> Ryudo, this wikipage you pointed to has pretty horrible tips
| |
| 08:09 | !s
| |
| 08:09 | <ltspbot> ogra: "s" is Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| |
| 08:09 | <sbalneav> Hey ogra!!!!!
| |
| 08:09 | So, I was a busy boy yesterday :)
| |
| 08:09 | <ogra> yeah, i saw the commit flood :)
| |
| 08:09 | to sad we'Re freezed ...
| |
| 08:10 | <sbalneav> for what, tribe 5?
| |
| 08:10 | <ogra> yeps
| |
| 08:10 | <sbalneav> That's fine, gives me more time for polish.
| |
| 08:10 | I eliminated a BUNCH of cruft
| |
| 08:10 | <ogra> i went through the specs today, there are some where ui cant set staus ...
| |
| 08:10 | <Ryudo> ogra
| |
| 08:10 | <ogra> ltsp-local-apps is one you have to set to deferred
| |
| 08:11 | <Ryudo> this howto sucks ? sorry but my english its poor ..
| |
| 08:11 | <sbalneav> Not sure what you mean, ui can't set status?
| |
| 08:11 | <ogra> s/ui/i
| |
| 08:12 | <sbalneav> LOL, ok
| |
| 08:12 | I can do that right now.
| |
| 08:12 | <ogra> Ryudo, editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.postinst to disable Xorg modules is very very evil for example
| |
| 08:13 | <Ryudo> :O
| |
| 08:14 | <ogra> there is a lot of such very harmful stuff where the guy just edits essential system files
| |
| 08:14 | "Next update /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/bin/dexconf to allow remote access with no password"
| |
| 08:14 | * ogra runs away screaming | |
| 08:16 | <sbalneav> What's this we're looking at?
| |
| 08:17 | <ogra> http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Feisty/Ocean_post_install_checklist
| |
| 08:17 | looks like its from MrMoo ...
| |
| 08:18 | <exodos> ogra: int the ltsp-fat-clients you've recently added "LC_ALL=C chroot $ROOT apt-get $APT_GET_OPTS remove ldm ltspfsd". Since ltsp-client depend on ldm and ltsp-client is crutial for this setup i think you should remove only ltspfsd
| |
| 08:18 | <ogra> he usually writes sane docs, no idea what made him write up such crap
| |
| 08:18 | exodos, that needs solving if we implement it :)
| |
| 08:18 | which is at leat one release to go
| |
| 08:19 | *least
| |
| 08:19 | <exodos> m'kay
| |
| 08:19 | <ogra> likely you want ltsp-client-core since having ldm on a fat client is a bad idea
| |
| 08:20 | and you wont need 90% of ltsp-cliaent either ...
| |
| 08:20 | <exodos> agree
| |
| 08:20 | <ogra> its likely that we'll just have a ltsp-fat-client package that conflicts with the right things and depends on all we need
| |
| 08:20 | <Ryudo> unfortunately, the ltsp5 has a poor documentation
| |
| 08:21 | <ogra> Ryudo, well, thats why we're here to pick our brains, if someone wants to write docs we'll happily answer all questions :)
| |
| 08:22 | Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:22 | <Ryudo> hum is it
| |
| 08:22 | <ogra> beyond that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP and http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/ as well as the shipped docs with the ltsp packages should already make a good base
| |
| 08:23 | i admit its badly scattered
| |
| 08:24 | <sbalneav> Ryudo: Given the limited number of people working on LTSP, and the huge amount of work that's been done, doc's one of the things that hasn't received as much attention as it should, but with only 3 or 4 people actively working on LTSP.... what can you do.
| |
| 08:25 | ogra: Looks like he's got some good stuff in there. Some of the X conf stuff, like hacking out modules could probably be handled in your configure-x.sh script easily.
| |
| 08:25 | <ogra> no
| |
| 08:25 | not the way he has it there
| |
| 08:25 | <Ryudo> that is truth I agree
| |
| 08:26 | <ogra> modules etc is planned
| |
| 08:26 | but we didnt have any module handling for X in feisty so its not critical to get for gutsy atm
| |
| 08:27 | all the configure-x.sh script shall achieve for now is just speedier config generation without regressions ... more in gutsy+1
| |
| 08:27 | sbalneav, hacking postinst scripts or even the dexconf app will definately break at some point
| |
| 08:28 | <sbalneav> Oh, yeah, no we wouldn't do it that way.
| |
| 08:28 | <ogra> btw, we'll need to reimplement XF86CONFIG_FILE properly, its currently ignored
| |
| 08:28 | as well as inputattach
| |
| 08:28 | * ogra makes a note | |
| 08:28 | <sbalneav> but you could eliminate the module loading by simply commenting out those modules in the xorg.conf file, and that could be done in the configure-x.sh
| |
| 08:29 | If you'll look in my tree... :)
| |
| 08:29 | <ogra> right
| |
| 08:29 | <sbalneav> It's already taken care of.
| |
| 08:29 | <ogra> sbalneav, you fixed ltsp-client-core.init ?
| |
| 08:29 | we have a lot of stuff in the initscript that needs proper porting over
| |
| 08:30 | "flashsupport.c:324: error: 'stderr' undeclared (first use in this function)"
| |
| 08:30 | woah, thats an error you dont see often :)
| |
| 08:31 | <sbalneav> Yeah, I did, I beleive, but I'll check.
| |
| 08:32 | <ogra> sbalneav, all i see is that you added a new variable called XORG_CONF, which is ignored but makes the config script exit immediately
| |
| 08:32 | <sbalneav> Hmm, maybe I didn't yet :)
| |
| 08:32 | ok, I'll look at that today :)
| |
| 08:33 | I had it planned, but I've done sooooo much stuff in the last couple days :)
| |
| 08:33 | <ogra> you wiped the boolean check from ltsp_functions ?
| |
| 08:33 | <sbalneav> wiped ltsp-functions!
| |
| 08:33 | the only things that were using the boolean check were the inits
| |
| 08:33 | so I just put it in there.
| |
| 08:33 | <ogra> how are the initscripts supposed to find True/False values properly now ?
| |
| 08:34 | <sbalneav> copied that into the inits
| |
| 08:34 | <ogra> ah, you moved it back
| |
| 08:34 | you should ask vagrant about that, i think he had reasons to move it out there
| |
| 08:34 | prpplague has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:34 | <sbalneav> it was the only thing that was being used from that file, and ONLY in the init scripts.
| |
| 08:34 | <ogra> right
| |
| 08:34 | <sbalneav> seemed silly to have an extra file for 6 lines of code.
| |
| 08:35 | <ogra> we never used it anywhere else ... we had an identical python function in the old ldm even
| |
| 08:35 | <sbalneav> eliminated the telnet stuff, since it was cruft
| |
| 08:35 | the screen script does it all.
| |
| 08:35 | eliminated the start_printer script
| |
| 08:35 | <ogra> i'm pondering to include http://muzso.hu/node/4136 before release
| |
| 08:35 | <sbalneav> start jetpipe from the init script directly now.
| |
| 08:35 | jetpipe properly forks/backgrounds
| |
| 08:35 | <ogra> great
| |
| 08:36 | even for multiple printers ?
| |
| 08:36 | <sbalneav> got security going for ltspfsd
| |
| 08:36 | yep, even for multiple printers!
| |
| 08:36 | <ogra> yeah, saw that, kudos
| |
| 08:36 | <sbalneav> Dude! I'm MOTORING! )
| |
| 08:36 | :)
| |
| 08:36 | <ogra> yeah, like mad :)
| |
| 08:36 | <norita> ogra, to get the rdesktop script from gutsy, I must install gutsy somewhere, or is there a place I can take it ?
| |
| 08:37 | <sbalneav> muzso.hu's a blank page for me.
| |
| 08:37 | So great, seems like it'd be easy to implement :)
| |
| 08:38 | <ogra> norita, http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ltsp/gutsy-ltsp/annotate/ogra%40ubuntu.com-20070813180935-uuhrndu27oe8t19t?start_revid=ogra%40ubuntu.com-20070813180935-uuhrndu27oe8t19t&file_id=rdesktop-20070720192731-2p139o5ehjlzm29t-1

| 08:39 | <norita> arf, I see nothing about the sound in this file
| |
| 08:39 | <sbalneav> ogra: ok, I think I hit all my specs, any outstanding ones you need me to poke?
| |
| 08:39 | <ogra> norita, i didnt say anything aboput sound ... just that we have a new startscript
| |
| 08:39 | <cr3> has anyone ever tried pxe booting a thin client connected to the port of a switch configured as a trunk consisting of two vlans?
| |
| 08:40 | <norita> ok
| |
| 08:40 | <ogra> norita, you will likely have to set the right options in the RDESKTOP_OPTIONS variable in lts.conf
| |
| 08:40 | (as i understand the code)
| |
| 08:40 | subir has quit IRC | |
| 08:40 | <norita> I have the right option for rdesktop (-r sound:local)
| |
| 08:40 | <ogra> sbalneav, only the one i asked about
| |
| 08:40 | <sbalneav> ogra: BTW, you know I'm working in the ltspfs-nodm tree, right?
| |
| 08:40 | <norita> the problem is only /dev/dsp : rdesktop try to use it, and it doesn't exist.
| |
| 08:41 | Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC | |
| 08:41 | <ogra> sbalneav, i didnt get to ltspfs yet ... next week if tribe5 is done i'll merge
| |
| 08:42 | <sbalneav> Oh, yeah, no problem. Hold off on merging from my tree until after tribe 5
| |
| 08:42 | <ogra> norita, make it exist then :) (load the matching oss compatibility modules for alsa)
| |
| 08:42 | <sbalneav> that'll give me time for lots of testing/debugging.
| |
| 08:42 | <ogra> well, i need to ... freeze :)

| 08:45 | (so that people only have to install the freenx client to make it work out of teh box)
| |
| 08:46 | <sbalneav> ogra: That page comes up totally blank for me
| |
| 08:46 | <ogra> weird
| |
| 08:46 | i see it here
| |
| 08:46 | even on reload
| |
| 08:47 | <Gadi> yeah, i had to press 'go' to get it to render
| |
| 08:47 | weird
| |
| 08:47 | i havent looked at his scripts, but I thought there was some taboo about including nxclient
| |
| 08:47 | (or would it be like rdesktop, where you would have to apt-get the executable urself)
| |
| 08:47 | <ogra> i wont include nxclient ...
| |
| 08:47 | right
| |
| 08:47 | thats the plan
| |
| 08:48 | <Gadi> well, I'll have a look at the scripts at some point
| |
| 08:48 | in the past, I have favored scripts that keep all configs in lts.conf
| |
| 08:48 | <ogra> müzso already sent some very helpful patches and fixes in the past, his code is usually good
| |
| 08:48 | <Gadi> so, if it is like that, I'm happy
| |
| 08:48 | :)
| |
| 08:48 | <ogra> even this specific script starts an xterm loaclly, thats a no-go
| |
| 08:49 | <Gadi> yeah. I can have a look-see and maybe contribute some mods
| |
| 08:49 | if need be

| 08:53 | <exodos> ogra: i was working on including NX support in ltsp, mainly based on http://muzso.hu/node/4136. But I've changed it a bit to use ltsp greeter and create an ssh socket to support localdev
| |
| 08:53 | I'ts still not finished but i can share

| 08:56 | <schregge> Hello
| |
| 08:56 | * ogra finally goes for food now ... else i'll starve | |
| 08:57 | <schregge> has someone here experience with scanners and ltsp? i have a problem that when i scan around 20 pages the scanner stops after 3 centimeters... I have to restart the server and then i can scan some pages again....
| |
| 08:59 | ltspbot has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:00 | <schregge> yeah, but i have enough disk space...
| |
| 09:00 | <Gadi> nah, its prolly not disk space
| |
| 09:00 | its prolly a buffer being filled quicker than it can be flushed
| |
| 09:01 | do you run the scanner out of inetd?
| |
| 09:01 | highvoltage has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:02 | <schregge> yes
| |
| 09:02 | <Gadi> if you exit the scanning software when it gets stuck, does the service die on the thin client?
| |
| 09:04 | Avatara has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:04 | <schregge> no
| |
| 09:05 | i can run the scannersoftware again (scanadf), but it stucks earlier
| |
| 09:05 | only a restart of the server will solve the problem
| |
| 09:05 | <Gadi> hmm...
| |
| 09:06 | you wouldnt happen to have another model scanner around to see if it is a driver issue?
| |
| 09:06 | <schregge> hmm, i have only another fi-4120c....
| |
| 09:09 | Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:09 | highvoltage has quit IRC | |
| 09:10 | <schregge> i will try it again this evening... maybe i find something in the logfiles from sane
| |
| 09:10 | <Gadi> schregge: does it always get stuck after the same amount of pages?
| |
| 09:10 | if so, try changing the resolution of the scan and see if it gets stuck earlier at higher res or later at lower res
| |
| 09:11 | that would point the finger pretty strongly at a buffer issue
| |
| 09:11 | <schregge> ok
| |
| 09:11 | i will check this later
| |
| 09:12 | <Gadi> good luck
| |
| 09:12 | <schregge> than i have anothe issue
| |
| 09:13 | i tried to installed ltsp5 with ubuntu 7.04. Everything looks fine but the boot up of the client is very slow
| |
| 09:14 | <Gadi> such is the nature of LTSP5 on low-end clients
| |
| 09:14 | in 7.04
| |
| 09:14 | it has been the subject of dev for 7.10
| |
| 09:14 | ccherret1 has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:14 | <schregge> ok... then i will wait :-) i have also a problem with the syslog daemon. i have a delay of aroun 1 Minute on 7.04 with LTSP5
| |
| 09:15 | <Gadi> yeah, i think i have noticed something similar in the past
| |
| 09:15 | ccherrett has quit IRC | |
| 09:15 | <schregge> even when i switch the teminal off i get syslog events... (also in edubuntu)
| |
| 09:15 | <Gadi> I have also seen that if you turn off remote syslogging, thing speed up
| |
| 09:15 | on low end clients
| |
| 09:16 | <schregge> ok, but when i have to debug a client i need the syslog... and its very hard when the client stuck and you can wait at least 5 minutes for the last message...
| |
| 09:17 | <Gadi> indeed
| |
| 09:17 | if you can, do your debugging at the client
| |
| 09:17 | <schregge> ok, i will try that
| |
| 09:18 | now i have to go for lunch :)
| |
| 09:18 | and thanks for your help... LTSP is great!!!

| 10:13 | <Q-FUNK> pitti just said that he approved both
| |
| 10:13 | <kaned1> Hello folks, anyone here I could trouble for some assistance with a slight problem?
| |
| 10:15 | <sbalneav> kaned1: fire away.
| |
| 10:16 | <kaned1> I've got a client who is running Edubuntu 7.04 with LTSP and he's using a thin client. The lts.conf is set to use a custom xorg.conf for a given mac address.
| |
| 10:16 | Now in the custom xorg, we set the driver to via so we could achieve a resolution of 1440x900.
| |
| 10:16 | The setup works fine until about 10 minutes into browsing sites with Flash or heavy graphics
| |
| 10:16 | originally the X session would just hang. After increasing the network swap it just restarts now.
| |
| 10:17 | Im out of ideas as to what could be causing this.
| |
| 10:17 | <ogra> Q-FUNK, yup, its in, after tribe5 (next week) i'll add the code for it
| |
| 10:17 | <kaned1> My problem is, I cannot reproduce this at all (should have stated this is all done via PXE boot)
| |
| 10:18 | <sbalneav> You mean, you don't have access to the terminals?
| |
| 10:18 | <Q-FUNK> ogra: sbalneav says that he mostly has it done, in his own branch.
| |
| 10:18 | * ogra suspects libflashsupport ... | |
| 10:19 | <ogra> Q-FUNK, great then i can just merge it next week after the freeze
| |
| 10:19 | <kaned1> I have access to my own terminals here on my end. I've got the same setup as him just I cannot get it to hang.
| |
| 10:19 | UniChrome drivers are what I have running
| |
| 10:19 | <sbalneav> kaned1: Network problems? Either that, or maybe the clients could do with a bios update?
| |
| 10:19 | <ogra> kaned1, which graphics HW is that exactly ?
| |
| 10:20 | <kaned1> lemme get the exact chipset
| |
| 10:20 | <ogra> sbalneav, sounds like either flash related or via/openchreope/unichrome mess
| |
| 10:20 | *openchrome
| |
| 10:20 | <kaned1> I was thinkin' network problems too - the bios is up to date I know that much, VGA memory set to 32
| |
| 10:20 | <ogra> i'd guess for the latter, the via drivers often suck
| |
| 10:21 | but flash and libflashsupport are good candidates as well
| |
| 10:21 | * ogra has GF waiting downstairs, might be back later ... | |
| 10:21 | <kaned1> the terminal itself has no internal flash memory, just a 128 mb stick of ram
| |
| 10:22 | im wondering if the guy isnt setting up the nbd_swap right
| |
| 10:22 | <sbalneav> kaned1: Any chance you could stick a different video card in to try? see if that changes things?
| |
| 10:22 | <kaned1> VIA CLE 266
| |
| 10:23 | well his pc's he turned into thin clients seem to have no problem
| |
| 10:23 | which i guess would make sense since they have graphic cards in them
| |
| 10:25 | but there's no room in these thin clients to try anything different unfortunately
| |
| 10:26 | <sbalneav> hm
| |
| 10:26 | Then I'll have to go with ogra: probably a video driver issue.
| |
| 10:27 | How many clients are affected?
| |
| 10:27 | <kaned1> well he's only got 4 of these thin client models
| |
| 10:27 | thing is though, ive got the exact same thin client models sitting on my desk here
| |
| 10:28 | i ran 1440x900 and was going to sites like 2advanced.com and even though it wasn't the smoothest i couldnt get anything to lock up after a few hours of testing
| |
| 10:28 | <sbalneav> Wierd.
| |
| 10:29 | <kaned1> yeah, he even told me a fail proof way he was getting the clients to crash, i followed step by step but with no luck. so im wondering what else could be different
| |
| 10:30 | anyways i just wanted to know if anyone knew of anything like this, i searched all over the wiki but couldnt find anything like this, i appreciate you guys takin the time to listen
| |
| 10:30 | <Gadi> kaned1: could be bad ram, too
| |
| 10:30 | try swapping the ram in a bad client
| |
| 10:31 | <kaned1> Good idea, Ill see if he can throw in a different stick or even try something above 128
| |
| 10:31 | <sbalneav> Definitely worth a try.
| |
| 10:31 | <kaned1> :)
| |
| 10:31 | <Gadi> yeah, ram without ecc these days sucks
| |
| 10:31 | goes bad if you look at it funny
| |
| 10:32 | <kaned1> lol
| |
| 10:32 | yeah the ram in these thin clients is pc2700 non ecc - should be easy enough to find a different stick for him

| 10:46 | <ogra> kaned1, via CLE 266 needs the openchrome driver to run stable iirc ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome
| |
| 10:46 | <kaned1> Hmm
| |
| 10:47 | Ill compile one and see if it wont help him out
| |
| 10:47 | <Gadi> 'stable is a state of mind, sir' - heh - some guy said that to me once in the .org pavillion at LWE
| |
| 10:48 | <ogra> kaned1, is that the T1220 from disklessworkstations ?
| |
| 10:48 | <sbalneav> ogra: in the debian directory, we've got the whole ltsp-client-core and ltsp-client-setup thing going on. Am I reading this right, or is ltsp-client-setup not used anymore, and client-core's what's being used now?
| |
| 10:48 | <kaned1> I just got an email from him... he cannot reproduce this hanging/restarting using GIMP or other graphics intensive stuff. Only firefox... and in his own words... "I decreased the VGA memory from 32 to 16 and now it almost never crashes"
| |
| 10:49 | <ogra> sbalneav, both are used
| |
| 10:49 | <sbalneav> hm
| |
| 10:49 | <kaned1> Im not sure what the T1220 is but this is a 6020P from devonit
| |
| 10:49 | the thin client that is
| |
| 10:49 | <ogra> sbalneav, -setup is run from rcS.d and -core runs from rc2.d later
| |
| 10:49 | highvoltage has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:49 | <kaned1> Im really baffled how lowering the vga memory helped his situation
| |
| 10:50 | <sbalneav> We setup things like sound and localdev in both?
| |
| 10:53 | <ogra> sbalneav, -setup is to configure things that need to be ready before the real initscripts start (rcS.d)
| |
| 10:53 | -core is to start apps etc
| |
| 10:54 | smith_ has quit IRC | |
| 10:55 | <sbalneav> Ah, so the starting of ltspfsd should come out of the -setup, and just be in -core.
| |
| 10:55 | that's what was confusing me.
| |
| 10:55 | <ogra> kaned1, lowering the videoram raises the system ram in shared mem systems ... that would support the theory that the ram is bad ... if you only see 32M or so adding 16 from the videocard may have some impact
| |
| 10:58 | ltspbot has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:58 | <ogra> vagrantc, well, but its silly to waste ressources you dont need to
| |
| 10:59 | <vagrantc> sure.
| |
| 10:59 | <ogra> the pulse startup should go into an rc script as well imho and die with the session
| |
| 10:59 | <sbalneav> Well, for right now, I'll leave things more or less the way they are, and just do some light housekeeping. We'll split things up more later :)
| |
| 11:00 | <vagrantc> i think it would be best if the rc script merely called some other script, so that it's easy to run from other systems
| |
| 11:01 | <ogra> well ...
| |
| 11:01 | makes it complicated again ...
| |
| 11:02 | <vagrantc> bah.
| |
| 11:02 | <ogra> then we can as well leave oit as is
| |
| 11:02 | <vagrantc> having a one or two line rc script that calls an external script doesn't sound complicated to me..
| |
| 11:02 | <ogra> the beauty of the rc scripts is their simplicism ... hasving to maintain two scripts again wont help
| |
| 11:02 | * ogra wonders what his keyboard just did | |
| 11:03 | <vagrantc> it's not maintaining two scripts, it's having one script that can be called by anything
| |
| 11:03 | or, one script for each piece of functionality
| |
| 11:03 | i.e. one for localdev, one for sound, etc.
| |
| 11:04 | newmember has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:05 | <vagrantc> so that way the init script or the LDM rc script can use the same code.
| |
| 11:05 | or fooDM
| |
| 11:05 | <ogra> well, for sound that would be a one liner to run pulseaudio which would be called from a one liner in an ldm rc script
| |
| 11:05 | <vagrantc> so then the rc script should be a symlink maybe
| |
| 11:06 | <ogra> if i have to do it that way i can as well maintain only one one liner in the initscript
| |
| 11:07 | vagrantc, btw, did you make friends with the nbd stuff yet ?
| |
| 11:08 | <vagrantc> ogra: haven't yet, no
| |
| 11:09 | <sbalneav> AFK for a couple hours. Be back later
| |
| 11:10 | <ogra> i wonder if i should add a --force-nfs to ltsp-build-client
| |
| 11:10 | for people wanting or needing nfs
| |
| 11:10 | <vagrantc> yes please.
| |
| 11:11 | it was a major pain to switch back to nfs
| |
| 11:11 | <ogra> i mean its trivial to switch an nbd root
| |
| 11:11 | huh ?
| |
| 11:11 | <vagrantc> had to regenerate the initramfs
| |
| 11:11 | <ogra> its twop vars, running update-.initramfs and ltsp-update-kernels
| |
| 11:11 | <vagrantc> it's hard-coded to use nbd
| |
| 11:12 | <ogra> you can override that with a boot var
| |
| 11:12 | it defaults to use nbd
| |
| 11:12 | <vagrantc> didn't work
| |
| 11:12 | <ogra> then initramfs is buggy
| |
| 11:12 | <vagrantc> or wait .. .no i didn't try that
| |
| 11:12 | <ogra> if i call it with casper as argument in an initramfs where csasper is installed that works
| |
| 11:13 | boot=nfs i think (not sure though)
| |
| 11:13 | <vagrantc> BOOT=nfs
| |
| 11:13 | i'll have to try it again
| |
| 11:13 | my goal was to get LDM2 working, which i did
| |
| 11:14 | <ogra> ah
| |
| 11:15 | BOOT overrides the init script ... boot is processed
| |
| 11:15 | <vagrantc> along the way i had troubles with assuming nbd root, and X configuration was totally broken
| |
| 11:15 | <ogra> root=/dev/nfs would work as well according to the code i see here
| |
| 11:15 | <vagrantc> no, that's the default in debian, and it did nothing
| |
| 11:15 | <ogra> X confoiguration really needs the latest xrandr
| |
| 11:16 | <vagrantc> it also assumed that /root is writeable
| |
| 11:16 | i think
| |
| 11:16 | <ogra> well, accoring to initramfs-tools-0.85eubuntu7/init what i got lying around here, root=/dev/nfs sets BOOT=nfs
| |
| 11:17 | <vagrantc> yes, i know, i patched it to do so
| |
| 11:17 | <ogra> oh, right, its written for nbd ...
| |
| 11:17 | <vagrantc> i don't have any issue with adding /root to the writeable dirs
| |
| 11:17 | for non-unionfs setups
| |
| 11:17 | <ogra> well, and the init script runs:
| |
| 11:17 | . /scripts/${BOOT}
| |
| 11:18 | exodos has quit IRC | |
| 11:22 | meduxa has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:22 | <ogra> from where it gets the mountroot command ... which is executed next line
| |
| 11:22 | so root=/dev/nfs should work as well as boot=nfs
| |
| 11:23 | <vagrantc> right
| |
| 11:23 | <ogra> if not, init is broken
| |
| 11:23 | not my fault ! :)
| |
| 11:23 | <vagrantc> :)
| |
| 11:23 | still could be your fault :P
| |
| 11:23 | <ogra> indeed :)
| |
| 11:23 | <vagrantc> like if the hook broke something else
| |
| 11:23 | but i'll hold off on the blame game till i try it again
| |
| 11:24 | <ogra> well, my script is the nfs script with modoified mountroot command
| |
| 11:25 | and a hook for loading squashfs and unionfs modules
| |
| 11:25 | as well as dropping nbd-client into initramfs
| |
| 11:25 | oh, hmm ...
| |
| 11:25 | <vagrantc> i'd have to add the squashfs and unionfs module packages to get that to work in debian
| |
| 11:25 | <ogra> unuionfs is in linux-ubuntu-modules ...
| |
| 11:26 | i think squashfs as well ...
| |
| 11:26 | bummer
| |
| 11:26 | so you might not have it in debian
| |
| 11:26 | <vagrantc> they're each separate packages
| |
| 11:26 | <ogra> but surely completely different versions
| |
| 11:27 | gonzaloaf has quit IRC | |
| 11:27 | <vagrantc> ogra: what do you mean ?
| |
| 11:28 | <Gadi> hey, anybody know a 'proper' way to flush/expire all leases in the dhcp server? I had been doing this by removing the dhcpd.leases files and restarting, but that seems to be a nasty way of doing things in a failover environment...
| |
| 11:28 | <ogra> our unionfs is special ... and squashfs is developed in ubuntu currently (upstream is employed by canonical)
| |
| 11:29 | so the versions will likely be different to what you get in debian
| |
| 11:29 | i think thats the purpose of the linux-ubuntu-modules package
| |
| 11:30 | Gadi, just dont run a failover environment then and all is fine :P

| |
| 11:38 | ogra: also, when i built the packages, i didn't really manually go through and compare plugins dirs ... that may require some changes

| 11:58 | <frank_endres> Hi ! I need help to understand how ltspfsd and ltspfs programs are working (I use them without the full LTSP package).

| 12:31 | <frank_endres> How can I tell ltspfsd to mount a device when I access his mount point with ltspfs (ltspfs localhost:/mnt/amovibles/cdrom0 /home/user/cdrom0) (the fstab tells the system that /dev/cdrom0 is mounted on /mnt/amovibles/cdrom0)
| |
| 12:33 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: doesn't is LTSPFSD_OPTION = "-a"
| |
| 12:33 | LTSPFSD_OPTIONS = "-a"
| |
| 12:35 | <frank_endres> I run the ltspfsd daemon with the -a option. ltspfs mounts the dir, but the device is not acceded
| |
| 12:36 | I do not have the full ltsp package. I have only ltspfs and ltspfsd program (I try a custom 'LTSP').
| |
| 12:37 | maybe, ltspfsd mounts the devices if the mount point is /media/something ?
| |
| 12:38 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: fuse permissions
| |
| 12:39 | frank_endres: Users must be on fuse group or /dev/fuse must be 0666
| |
| 12:40 | <frank_endres> I use fuse for other things without problem (avfs and cryptofs for example) with the same user.
| |
| 12:41 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: normaly fuse is like this: -rw-rw---- root fuse /dev/fuse
| |
| 12:41 | <frank_endres> And the modes are 666 (I think I have modified the udev rule)
| |
| 12:42 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: Ok... witch kind of device are you using?
| |
| 12:42 | USB-storage?
| |
| 12:42 | <frank_endres> CDROM for instance
| |
| 12:42 | I can try with usb
| |
| 12:43 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: well when I had problems like this it was the fuse perms or usb-storage that doesn't need partition...
| |
| 12:44 | <frank_endres> not working with usb storage
| |
| 12:45 | not working for the root user
| |
| 12:45 | I am on localhost ...
| |
| 12:45 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: LTSP4.2 or 5?
| |
| 12:46 | frank_endres: are you on server?
| |
| 12:47 | Q-FUNK has quit IRC | |
| 12:47 | <frank_endres> I do not use LTSP. I use CVS (today) versions of ltspfs and ltspfsd, both running on the same machine.
| |
| 12:48 | But I think I should have /media/cdrom0 instead as /mnt/amovibles/cdrom0 for the mount point.
| |
| 12:48 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: weeeeeell, s I'm sory... I never tryed this...
| |
| 12:49 | Witch distribution do you use?
| |
| 12:50 | frank_endres: it can be an option of the automounter system you use...
| |
| 12:56 | <frank_endres> slackware. But I don't use an automounter. I have read I don't need one.
| |
| 12:57 | But I think I have to (use an automounter). If it is the problem, I know how to solve it.
| |
| 12:58 | Guaraldo: Thanks for your help. I will try with an automounter.
| |
| 12:59 | I will be away for an hour, but I leave my window open to read you when I am back (if you have something to say). Thanks !
| |
| 13:00 | <Guaraldo> frank_endres: If it helped you...
| |
| 13:00 | frank_endres: Came back soon... :-D
| |
| 13:01 | <frank_endres> Yes, it helped ! Talk you soon ...

| 13:29 | <sn9_> hiho. looking for an LBE-style base for a distro-independent ltsp-5. any suggestions?
| |
| 13:33 | <sbalneav> The entire point of LTSP5 was to eliminate the LBE, and use the distro's packages :)
| |
| 13:34 | So, no, there's nothing like that.
| |
| 13:34 | <sn9_> ok, i guess i'll have to use 4.2, but the cvs head fails to build
| |
| 13:34 | DonSilver has quit IRC | |
| 13:35 | <sbalneav> Not surprising, there's been practically no work done on it in a year and a half.
| |
| 13:35 | Any reason why you can't simply use an ubuntu or debian tarball of the ltsp5 binaries?
| |
| 13:35 | <sn9_> they're huge?
| |
| 13:36 | <sbalneav> That's it?
| |
| 13:36 | <sn9_> LBE would produce something less than half the size
| |
| 13:36 | <sbalneav> What, got no disk space?
| |
| 13:37 | <sn9_> not on flash
| |
| 13:38 | <sbalneav> Why not look at Gutsy? We serve up an image that's been squashfs'd
| |
| 13:38 | <sn9_> squash is read-only
| |
| 13:38 | rjune_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:39 | <sbalneav> right, but we overlay a unionfs on top.
| |
| 13:39 | <sn9_> the distro-pkg-mgmt approach would be fine if one could use a base that isn't full of distro cruft
| |
| 13:39 | like puppy or something
| |
| 13:40 | unionfs == yet more storage required
| |
| 13:40 | <vagrantc_> not any more than with ltsp
| |
| 13:41 | or, very little more
| |
| 13:41 | <sbalneav> So then why use ltsp, which is geared towards network filesystem? Why not use DSL or something else as a base for what you're trying to do.
| |
| 13:41 | <sn9_> it means a whole second fs
| |
| 13:41 | <vagrantc_> sn9_: what are you trying to accomplish ?
| |
| 13:41 | sn9_: which ltsp uses
| |
| 13:42 | <sn9_> i'd like to pxe-boot an ltsp client from a diskless server
| |
| 13:42 | <vagrantc_> the unionfs layers a tmpfs filesystem into the mix ... which you need something writeable anyways, it's just easier to use unionfs for the whole layer
| |
| 13:43 | sn9_: so, how much disk space do you have ?
| |
| 13:43 | <sbalneav> So, basically, you're doing something completely unusual then.
| |
| 13:43 | Looks like you've got some work ahead of you :)
| |
| 13:43 | <sn9_> the working assumption is 256MB minus 64MB for other stuff
| |
| 13:44 | plamengr has quit IRC | |
| 13:44 | <sn9_> if LBE still worked, it would not be any problem at all
| |
| 13:44 | <vagrantc_> then fix it :P
| |
| 13:44 | <sn9_> however, the new approach is superior
| |
| 13:45 | <sbalneav> Keep in mind that the X in ltsp is pretty old now.
| |
| 13:45 | <sn9_> it just needs a proper base to achieve the same end
| |
| 13:45 | <sbalneav> Sorry, ltsp 4.2
| |
| 13:45 | The base is whatever distro you choose to implement it on.
| |
| 13:45 | So, what you need to do is make an ltsp5 port for puppy linux.
| |
| 13:46 | <sn9_> yes. i'm asking for a distro recommendation with a tiny footprint that may be generated in an LBE-style way
| |
| 13:47 | <whiprush_> sounds like a job for DSL!
| |
| 13:48 | <sn9_> whiprush_: preferably not an ia32-specific one
| |
| 13:48 | that was part of LBE's appeal
| |
| 13:48 | frank_endres has left #ltsp | |
| 13:49 | <sbalneav> Well, LTSP5's only been implemented fully in Ubuntu and Debian, and ports have been started for Fedora, Gentoo, and OpenSuSE
| |
| 13:49 | <sn9_> i would use uClinux's buildroot, but i'd like to use glibc
| |
| 13:53 | <prpplague> sn9_: buildroot supports glibc as well as external toolchain support
| |
| 13:53 | <sn9_> prpplague: what about pkg mgmt?
| |
| 13:54 | <prpplague> sn9_: yea buildroot really doesn't have pkg mgmt since its mainly design as embedded firmware style applications
| |
| 13:55 | <sn9_> i'd be interested in seeing how small a fedora base could get, but i'd have to find a way to bootstrap a chroot without fedora installed
| |
| 13:55 | <prpplague> sn9_: i've had old redhat 9 installed as low as 16mb
| |
| 13:56 | sn9_: more effectively rh9 can be run in 128mb
| |
| 13:56 | <sn9_> yeah, but that's rh9
| |
| 13:56 | <prpplague> sn9_: with an very effect operations
| |
| 13:56 | sn9_: fedora isn't that far off from rh9
| |
| 13:56 | <sn9_> except for the vastly newer software
| |
| 13:57 | <prpplague> sn9_: i have a bootable cd fedora running on around 256mb, i;m sure you can shrink it further
| |
| 13:57 | <sn9_> i bet you bootstrapped it from a fedora system, though
| |
| 13:58 | not sure how i would do that from ubuntu
| |
| 14:00 | hmm, this looks interesting: http://t2-project.org/

| 18:04 | <staffencasa> vagrantc_, it was either you or sbalnead that helped me last week with a screensaver issue...
| |
| 18:04 | or both...
| |
| 18:05 | but I figured out what it was and it appears to be an issue with the kiosk plugin
| |
| 18:05 | it uses metacity, but never gets installed
| |
| 18:05 | zodman has quit IRC | |
| 18:06 | <staffencasa> I had to add it to the base configuration script and add xscreensaver to the kiosk script then configure a .xscreensaver file for the kiosk user and place it in the proper home folder.
| |
| 18:06 | ...just an FYI

| 18:08 | DonSilver has joined #ltsp | |

| 21:32 | <LaserJock> jammcq: is it possible to change the screen resolution of a client in Edubuntu Feisty?
| |
| 21:33 | <sn9_> just one client?
| |
| 21:33 | <LaserJock> yep
| |
| 21:33 | that is, I only have one client
| |
| 21:34 | <sn9_> oh, then one client == all clients, so just change it globally
| |
| 21:34 | chroot, and then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
| |
| 21:34 | <LaserJock> so xorg.conf in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/ ?
| |
| 21:35 | ah, thats a better way
