| 03:30 | <killsalad> hi all i've got a question : How can I configure LTSP5 (ubuntu) to work with skype (1.4 beta), i've learnt that is possible with alsa
| |
| 03:31 | but i don't know how enable alsa on terminal - pulseaudio worked somehow out of the box
| |
| 03:38 | indradg_ has quit IRC | |
| 03:44 | cyberorg has quit IRC | |
| 03:44 | <ari_stress> you mean skype doesnt work with pulseaudio?
| |
| 03:45 | i havent tried it
| |
| 03:45 | pulseaudio works ok with mp3 though, i've just tried it. cool
| |
| 03:48 | <killsalad> yes,
| |
| 03:49 | i've read about posiblity of installing alsa for terminals but - it was only mentioned

| |
| 06:48 | <ogra> yup
| |
| 06:48 | partially at least
| |
| 06:49 | <joris> hehe
| |
| 06:49 | I'm trying to enable local devices on ltsp
| |
| 06:49 | following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices
| |
| 06:50 | you (?) mention the user and group administration tool
| |
| 06:50 | where is that tool available, and what does it do? (I presume adding the user to the fuse group?
| |
| 06:52 | jammcq has quit IRC | |
| 06:52 | cliebow_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 06:52 | <cliebow> joris, in edubuntu under SYstem->aadministration usersandgroups
| |
| 06:52 | cliebow_ has quit IRC | |
| 06:53 | <joris> ah, great :)
| |
| 06:53 | thanks
| |
| 06:53 | <ogra> yeah
| |
| 06:53 | it adds them toi the fuse group
| |
| 06:54 | K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp | |
| 06:54 | <joris> ogra: I got to say... the ltsp integration in edubuntu is deliciously exellent
| |
| 06:54 | <cliebow> getting better all the time 8~)
| |
| 06:55 | <joris> if i only could get screen sharing to work
| |
| 06:55 | <cliebow> a little better..all the time
| |
| 06:55 | <joris> I installed x11vnc in the client's root
| |
| 06:55 | <cliebow> yes./
| |
| 06:55 | <joris> but that's probably not enough
| |
| 06:55 | <ogra> should be enough
| |
| 06:56 | <cliebow> should be to use vncviewer
| |
| 06:56 | works in gutsy for me
| |
| 06:56 | <ogra> even though the howto on the wiki only gets yoiu the basic support ...
| |
| 06:56 | tweaking that to 800x600 withj compression etc would make sense
| |
| 06:56 | <joris> this is only a feisty :/
| |
| 06:57 | <ogra> should work in feisty after the howto
| |
| 06:57 | <joris> hmm, I'm going to try to find the howto
| |
| 06:58 | <ogra> https://wiki.edubuntu.org/InstallX11VncOnLtspClients
| |
| 06:58 | <cliebow> dang..i have the url at school
| |
| 06:58 | <joris> probably in the teachertool docs?
| |
| 06:58 | ah
| |
| 06:58 | <cliebow> and ther it is..
| |
| 06:58 | joris:have you used teachertool with vnc button?
| |
| 06:58 | <ogra> teachertool isnt supported by ltsp5 (not in gutsy at least, i know the developer works on integrating it atm)
| |
| 06:58 | s/in gutsy/up to gutsy/
| |
| 06:59 | <joris> cliebow: the thin client manager with the screen viewer tab
| |
| 06:59 | <cliebow> it will be awesome
| |
| 07:00 | <joris> you should really see where I'm sitting
| |
| 07:01 | * ogra is pondering italc for gutsy+1 instead of thin-client-manager | |
| 07:01 | dan__t has quit IRC | |
| 07:01 | dan__t has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:01 | <ogra> they offer the same, with the difference that italc will also run on normal workstationa while TCM is pretty ltsp focused
| |
| 07:02 | <joris> hmm, I wonder
| |
| 07:02 | if I enable automatic login based on mac address
| |
| 07:02 | (one user per computer)
| |
| 07:02 | (per client)
| |
| 07:02 | <ogra> ldm doesnt support that yet
| |
| 07:03 | that needs gutsy
| |
| 07:03 | <joris> it doesn't?
| |
| 07:03 | Guaraldo has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:03 | <joris> hmm, that makes the actual questy moot
| |
| 07:03 | <ogra> not in the feisty version, no
| |
| 07:03 | gutsy has a completely redone ldm with tons of new features
| |
| 07:04 | <joris> cool
| |
| 07:04 | but that's not 'till Q4 :(
| |
| 07:04 | <ogra> autologin, unencrypted X (for multimedia), first implementaztion of a load balancing mechanism (select between different servers if you want)
| |
| 07:05 | new themeing and new GUI
| |
| 07:05 | <joris> hmmm, interesting!
| |
| 07:11 | <cliebow> awesome!

| |
| 08:50 | <ogra> ah, finally
| |
| 08:51 | sbalneav, can you revert the broken theme stuff you merged from vagrant so i can do the merge
| |
| 08:51 | <sbalneav> Sure!
| |
| 08:51 | <ogra> thanks :)
| |
| 08:51 | gonzaloaf_work has quit IRC | |
| 08:52 | <ogra> might be that it downsizes the package to link there, but it takes the opportunity to use custom QT buttons for kubuntu or dedicated xubuntu themeing
| |
| 08:52 | gonzaloaf_work has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:54 | <sbalneav> How do I revert to a version?
| |
| 08:54 | I want to revert to 445
| |
| 08:54 | <ogra> bzr uncommit
| |
| 08:55 | like you did with the update-image stuff yesterday
| |
| 08:55 | <sbalneav> can you specify a branch number?
| |
| 08:55 | I need to go back two
| |
| 08:55 | cyberorg has quit IRC | |
| 08:56 | <sbalneav> ok, I've uncommitted twice
| |
| 08:57 | oin$ bzr status
| |
| 08:57 | removed:
| |
| 08:57 | client/ldmgtkgreet/themes/Debian/bg.png

| |
| 08:57 | client/ldmgtkgreet/themes/Debian/host.png
| |
| 08:57 | ...
| |
| 08:57 | etc
| |
| 08:57 | cyberorg has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:57 | <sbalneav> what now?
| |
| 08:59 | ogra: I uncommitted, but those files didn't come back
| |
| 09:00 | <ogra> revert as well
| |
| 09:00 | bzr revert client/ldmgtkgreet/themes/*
| |
| 09:00 | i'm fine if vagrant decides for Debian to use links
| |
| 09:00 | but not for xu and kubuntu
| |
| 09:01 | they need to have the opportunity to replace the icons
| |
| 09:02 | <sbalneav> From status, I've got:
| |
| 09:02 | pending merges:
| |
| 09:02 | Vagrant Cascadian 2007-08-27 use symlink for common theme files for xubun...
| |
| 09:02 | Vagrant Cascadian 2007-08-27 use symlink for common theme files for kubu...
| |
| 09:02 | Vagrant Cascadian 2007-08-27 symlink common files from the Debian theme ...
| |
| 09:02 | Vagrant Cascadian 2007-08-27 use debian's logo for the Debian theme
| |
| 09:02 | How do I cancel a pending merge.
| |
| 09:03 | <ogra> revert again ? hmm
| |
| 09:03 | <sbalneav> I'm afraid if I commit now, I'll end up with the merge again
| |
| 09:03 | <ogra> yes
| |
| 09:05 | <sbalneav> Sooo, what should I do? :)
| |
| 09:05 | "Help me, ogra-wan, you're my only hope!"
| |
| 09:06 | * sbalneav imagins ogra with his hair done up in a couple of cinnamon-bun swirls beside his head | |
| 09:06 | <ogra> bzr revert
| |
| 09:06 | with no path ...
| |
| 09:07 | that should revert everything since the last commit
| |
| 09:07 | <sbalneav> ok
| |
| 09:07 | ah, worked.
| |
| 09:07 | ok, one sec...
| |
| 09:07 | <ogra> the patch from francis is fine ....
| |
| 09:09 | <sbalneav> yeah, I've re-added that.
| |

| |
| 09:26 | <snorp> ogra: hey, are you one of the dudes working on the nbd support?
| |
| 09:26 | <ogra> snorp, yup
| |
| 09:27 | <snorp> ogra: I am trying to use something similar (nbd + squashfs/aufs) on a thing I am working on
| |
| 09:27 | ogra: wondered if you ever had a problem with it hanging frequently
| |
| 09:27 | <ogra> sbalneav, your tree is full of unsolved conflicts (look for .THIS .BASE and .OTHER files)
| |
| 09:28 | snorp, nope, worked fine since we started (modulo some nbd-server bugs that were solved along the way by sbalneav )
| |
| 09:28 | <snorp> ogra: what sort of bugs? :)
| |
| 09:28 | I am using nbd-server 2.9.5, would that have your fixes?
| |
| 09:29 | <ogra> one was inetd related ... one about a segfault on shutdown
| |
| 09:29 | <snorp> ah

| |
| 09:33 | <sbalneav> hello
| |
| 09:33 | <Mineque> little problem with nbd swap
| |
| 09:33 | <ogra> sbalneav, nope, more essential stuff
| |
| 09:34 | <Mineque> i've got on boot error that /deb/nbd0 doesnt exist
| |
| 09:34 | <ogra> client/ldmgtkgreet/src/* completely for example
| |
| 09:34 | <sbalneav> your tree hasn't shown an update to me for 2 weeks
| |
| 09:34 | have you made changes and not pushed?
| |
| 09:34 | <ogra> gah !
| |
| 09:34 | GAH !!!!!
| |
| 09:34 | yes :((((
| |
| 09:34 | <sbalneav> uhoh
| |
| 09:35 | <ogra> on its way
| |
| 09:35 | <sbalneav> well, undo the merge, push, and I'll merge with you again, and we'll resolve 'em.
| |
| 09:35 | Mineque: What version of ltsp, on what server?
| |
| 09:35 | <Mineque> 4.2
| |
| 09:35 | gentoo
| |
| 09:35 | ltspswapd
| |
| 09:35 | <sbalneav> Ah.
| |
| 09:36 | <Mineque> modified nbd
| |
| 09:36 | <ogra> https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart
| |
| 09:36 | btw ... ^^^^^
| |
| 09:36 | <sbalneav> gentoo kind of went their own way, and made a lot of changes to 4.2.
| |
| 09:36 | best to take it up with whoever's maintaining 4.2 in Gentoo.
| |
| 09:36 | <Mineque> dberkholz or cliebow ?
| |
| 09:36 | <ogra> Mineque, udev usually creates /dev/nbd* if the nbd module ist getting loaded
| |
| 09:37 | <Mineque> i dont remember :P
| |
| 09:37 | ogra: i have loaded nbd module
| |
| 09:37 | <ogra> and are running udevd on the client ?
| |
| 09:37 | else you will need to have a script doing mknod or so ...
| |
| 09:37 | <Mineque> udev
| |
| 09:38 | <sbalneav> dberkholz is handling the ltsp5 port, I don't think he did the 4.2 stuff
| |
| 09:38 | and cliebow's got nothing to do with gentoo.
| |
| 09:38 | Doesn't portage tell you who handled the port?
| |
| 09:39 | ogra: pushed yet?
| |
| 09:39 | <ogra> yep
| |
| 09:39 | <sbalneav> k, I'll merge
| |
| 09:40 | ok, I've got 3 conflicts
| |
| 09:40 | I'll fix
| |
| 09:41 | <ogra> hmm, i wonder if using HOME is really a good idea ...
| |
| 09:41 | we should probably rather acll that TEMPDIR or so and not re-use a default variable
| |
| 09:42 | *call
| |
| 09:42 | (for the x config script)
| |
| 09:42 | <sbalneav> I was wondering that myself
| |
| 09:42 | but since I didn't have time to play with it, and he said that worked, I just added it :)
| |
| 09:42 | <ogra> even it wont break it looks ugly imho
| |
| 09:43 | ah, right, Xorg might just read that
| |
| 09:43 | well, we should at least set it back to what it was after the script was run if we modify it
| |
| 09:43 | <sbalneav> ok, just let me verify:
| |
| 09:44 | <joebaker> ogra: I seem to recall you pointed out that FireFox spike requirements for RAM
| |
| 09:44 | to go way up beyond normal levels. I'm wondering if we shouldn't put in a
| |
| 09:44 | feature request to FF to have a max image threshold bool and then a
| |
| 09:44 | setting for the maximum image size we want to try to display.
| |
| 09:44 | <sbalneav> >>> MERGE-SOURCE blah <<< TREE blah === blah <<< MERGE-SOUCE
| |
| 09:44 | Your changes are the things AFTER the === line, right?
| |
| 09:45 | <joebaker> Dimensions, data size. I had a 32 mb machine freeze up several times this morning :(
| |
| 09:45 | <ogra> MERGE-SOUCE to the === is my stuff
| |
| 09:45 | 32M even hardly boots :)
| |
| 09:45 | joebaker, thats on feisty ?
| |
| 09:45 | <joebaker> yep
| |
| 09:45 | Yes
| |
| 09:46 | <ogra> got nbd swap enabled ?
| |
| 09:46 | <joebaker> on feisty... startx script instead of ldm. nbd is set to 132MB
| |
| 09:46 | <ogra> might be that response is to slow with nbd here
| |
| 09:47 | so if X starts swapping it migth hang until the data is shoveled around between swam and ram
| |
| 09:47 | *swap
| |
| 09:47 | <joebaker> I have other boxes to upgrade it with. I just thought I'd pass the Moz FF idea on to you.
| |
| 09:48 | <sbalneav> ogra: Man, you hate that cancel button, eh? :)
| |
| 09:48 | <ogra> i was looking at the attempt of the ubuntu mobile team to developü a cut down version of FF ... but thats far from being done
| |
| 09:48 | sbalneav, yeah :)
| |
| 09:48 | sbalneav, there is a lot in the UI i dont like yet ...
| |
| 09:48 | <sbalneav> OK, because I love you so much, I'll remove it. :)
| |
| 09:49 | <ogra> we should have it back with a config option at some point ... i see it has a right to live, i just dont want it in my house :P
| |
| 09:51 | joebaker, if you have some spare ram on the server and use nbd swap a lot, i'd suggest to create a tmpfs mount and put your swapfiles there ...
| |
| 09:51 | the server can access them as fast as its own ram then ...
| |
| 09:52 | that speeds up mem access of the client (up to the point where the network becomes the bottleneck indeed)
| |
| 09:52 | i have booted 24M clients with gutsy (using nbd swap from initramfs already) that worked quite well with two clients here
| |
| 09:53 | <sbalneav> ogra: merged and pushed
| |
| 09:53 | <ogra> but i suspect 10 clients constantly swapping might saturate the net
| |
| 09:53 | * ogra hugs sbalneav | |
| 09:53 | <ogra> hrm
| |
| 09:54 | ah, it was only LP slowness
| |
| 09:54 | <sbalneav> hm?
| |
| 09:54 | <ogra> second attempt applies fine
| |
| 09:55 | \o/
| |
| 09:55 | <sbalneav> Tell rocket man to buy a bigger box :)
| |
| 09:55 | hey, btw
| |
| 09:55 | <ogra> :'-/
| |
| 09:56 | ^^^^^ a tear for the old greeter going
| |
| 09:56 | <ltsppbot> "sbalneav" pasted "debdiff to add manuals for nbd-server" (43 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/295
| |
| 09:56 | <sbalneav> It had a good run :)
| |
| 09:57 | I think that's what you wanted for the nbd-server patch.
| |
| 09:57 | I tested it at home last night, and it works as expected.
| |
| 09:57 | <ogra> built in pbuilder ?
| |
| 09:57 | <sbalneav> It sure did!
| |
| 09:57 | <ogra> good :)
| |
| 09:58 | <sbalneav> I'm starting to get the hang of that thing :)
| |
| 09:58 | You'd make that guy in poland a happy dude if you could use your mighty, mighty core dev powers and apply that diff
| |
| 09:58 | <ogra> yeah, its lovely :)
| |
| 09:59 | will do right away
| |
| 09:59 | <sbalneav> You and I need to buy each other several pitchers of beer in Boston.
| |
| 10:01 | <ogra> heh, yes
| |
| 10:01 | oh my ... i'll spend an hour to format the changelog for that commit (to make it all look like fixes :P )
| |
| 10:03 | * ogra is tempted to just add "* merged fixes from scott" to the changelog ... risking that someone asks :) | |
| 10:09 | daya has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:10 | <sbalneav> That's the dch log?... Hmmm, might be a LITTLE vague for some people. Me, personally, I'd know what you ment :)
| |
| 10:11 | <ogra> indeed
| |
| 10:11 | no no, i wont do that

| |
| 10:25 | sbalneav, :(
| |
| 10:26 | easy enough to fix manually though
| |
| 10:26 | <sbalneav> You know, that happened to hobsee as well.
| |
| 10:26 | What did I do wrong?
| |
| 10:26 | I do an apt-get source nbd-server
| |
| 10:26 | cd nbd-...
| |
| 10:26 | fix
| |
| 10:27 | debbuild -Rsa fakeroot blah

| |
| 10:27 | install, est
| |
| 10:27 | test, even
| |
| 10:27 | and then just a debdiff old.dsc, new.dsc
| |
| 10:27 | <ogra> not sure, let me copy the tree and see the .rej file
| |
| 10:28 | <sbalneav> That's the correct procedure, afaik
| |
| 10:28 | Hey, LOVE the new configure-x.sh by the way.
| |
| 10:29 | we can fix ram now, and we got back X_MODEs !
| |
| 10:29 | \o/ for ogra
| |
| 10:30 | <ogra> :)
| |
| 10:31 | it still has its disadvantages
| |
| 10:31 | <sbalneav> Like, what?
| |
| 10:31 | <ogra> and still needs some fixes (it shouldnt fire if you start it a second time for example ...)
| |
| 10:31 | disadvantage: ldm starting slower due to starting X twice in a row
| |
| 10:32 | and odd user experience due to seeing the screen flash twice
| |
| 10:32 | <sbalneav> Oh, that's easy. touch /tmp/.xconfigalready run, and do a test -f at the beginning.
| |
| 10:32 | <ogra> but thats unavoidable, else we'd break usplash Xorg needs to start once to probe the monitor
| |
| 10:32 | right, supressing is easy
| |
| 10:33 | the consmetic stuff isnt
| |
| 10:33 | *cosmetic
| |
| 10:33 | <sbalneav> Meh, it's fast enough to make no nevermind. I'd rather have an extra screenflash in exchange for the hugely increased functionality.
| |
| 10:34 | Not having X_MODE_* parms was a huge PITA.
| |
| 10:34 | <ogra> well, i still always think X is crashed when i see the first flash not bring up anything
| |
| 10:35 | (i must admit i reboot rarely if i can avoid to)
| |
| 10:35 | <sbalneav> If we really wanted to, we could do something along the lines of what we used to do: pci scan, and then set the driver based on that.
| |
| 10:36 | <ogra> well, we'd have to maintain that then
| |
| 10:36 | with our own DB
| |
| 10:36 | <sbalneav> really, the rest of the org file's pretty stock
| |
| 10:36 | <ogra> well
| |
| 10:36 | if you have weird displays it will break without having the ddc data in the file
| |
| 10:37 | <sbalneav> right.
| |
| 10:37 | <ogra> i'm really waiting for the final "no config needed at all" Xorg version
| |
| 10:37 | one with a solution for kemaps etc
| |
| 10:37 | *keymaps
| |
| 10:37 | <sbalneav> I'm happy with the flash. It's not that long. Only a couple of seconds. And the big advantage is, any detection updates/improvements in xorg means we automatically get better without any work on our part.
| |
| 10:39 | <ogra> i dont understand why patch rejects the rules file ... hmm
| |
| 10:40 | oh
| |
| 10:41 | adding dh_installman wouldnt have been necessary, its called in the binary-arch target already
| |
| 10:42 | that *should* be enough
| |
| 10:45 | rhombus has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:45 | <rhombus> Has anyone run LTSP over WAN links?
| |
| 10:51 | <sbalneav> Several people have tried.
| |
| 10:51 | X really isn't good for slower connections.
| |
| 10:51 | hence, projects like tightvnc, freenx, etc.
| |
| 10:52 | <ogra> well, booting over WAN will also have intresting security challenges (beyond bandwith indeed)
| |
| 10:52 | <sbalneav> that too.
| |
| 10:53 | <ogra> like how do you make sure onyl your clients boot off the publich dhcp bootserver you run :)
| |
| 10:53 | theoretically you need to open it up for the whole internet :)
| |
| 10:54 | you could do some static MAC based entries in your dhcpd config ... but MAC adresses are easy to fake
| |
| 10:54 | so in the end it ends up fully open

| |
| 10:59 | ok, the dh_installman call isnt needed ... i'll leave that out ...
| |
| 10:59 | <sbalneav> it isnt?
| |
| 11:00 | thought the dh_installman was what read the nbd-server.manpages file.
| |
| 11:00 | <ogra> yeah, but its called from binary-arch ...
| |
| 11:01 | you added it additionally to binary-indep
| |
| 11:01 | <sbalneav> oh, yeah, see that now.
| |
| 11:01 | Shouldn't it be in the indep?
| |
| 11:02 | and out of binary?
| |
| 11:02 | <ogra> no need to call it from there (no need for arch-indep either, since nbd has no architecture independent packages anyway)
| |
| 11:02 | tux_440volt has quit IRC | |
| 11:02 | <sbalneav> a manpage isnt arch independent?
| |
| 11:02 | <ogra> well, you could create a nbd-docs package containing it ... but thats a *bit* overkill for two manpages ;)
| |
| 11:02 | a manpage is
| |
| 11:03 | but the binary-indep target is for _all.deb packages which we dont build in nbd
| |
| 11:03 | <sbalneav> ahhh
| |
| 11:03 | I see.
| |
| 11:03 | <ogra> (as opposed to _i386.deb or amd64.deb)
| |
| 11:03 | <sbalneav> makes sense.
| |
| 11:04 | ok, so just yank the extra dh_installman I stuck in.
| |
| 11:04 | <ogra> hmm, intresting, seems in ubuntu-devel they are just getting cryptsetup to main ...
| |
| 11:04 | <sbalneav> How come it built fine on mine, though
| |
| 11:04 | <ogra> we could default to encrypting swap ;)
| |
| 11:04 | it built fine
| |
| 11:04 | my terminal cheated my eyes
| |
| 11:04 | uploaded :)
| |
| 11:04 | you should get a reciept soon
| |
| 11:05 | <sbalneav> How come the patch didn't apply for you, though?
| |
| 11:05 | <ogra> dunno
| |
| 11:05 | i dont understand the rej file at all ...
| |
| 11:06 | it should have applied properly
| |
| 11:06 | <sbalneav> something to do with pasting it to the pastebot maybe?
| |
| 11:06 | <ogra> hmm, probably
| |
| 11:06 | well, dont worry, its done :)
| |
| 11:07 | <sbalneav> heh, I just want to learn how to do it the right way, so I'm not such a pain.
| |
| 11:07 | I want to try for motu soon :)
| |
| 11:07 | <ogra> yeah
| |
| 11:08 | i bet you would even get wouter as sponsor to go for DD :)
| |
| 11:08 | you did so much for his package already
| |
| 11:08 | <sbalneav> Jeez, with my completely lacking knowledge of debian policy? :)
| |
| 11:08 | <ogra> pfft
| |
| 11:09 | <sbalneav> "Why does this file go here?!" "What, aren't manpages arch independent?!"
| |
| 11:09 | I can see it now.
| |
| 11:09 | <ogra> well, right
| |
| 11:09 | but thats stuff you learn along the way anyway
| |
| 11:10 | <sbalneav> "Scott given DD, promptly breaks Debian. Ian comes out of retirement to lynch Scott personally" :)
| |
| 11:10 | <ogra> you *could* look it up for every change you do in the policy if you feel like (probably there are people doing that)
| |
| 11:10 | ian ? retired ?
| |
| 11:10 | i thought he is broke since prodigy went down the drain
| |
| 11:11 | <sbalneav> Sorry, dramatic license :)
| |
| 11:11 | <ogra> heh
| |
| 11:11 | <sbalneav> I figure if I can get MOTU in the next 6 months, that will be a good start. :)
| |
| 11:11 | <ogra> you'll get it faster for sure
| |
| 11:12 | <sbalneav> You, curiously, have a much higher opinion of me than I do of myself.
| |
| 11:12 | How have I managed to fool so many people for so long> :)
| |
| 11:12 | <ogra> well, i've seen many people become MOTU already ;)
| |
| 11:13 | and i know your skills :)
| |
| 11:13 | <sbalneav> I'm a bumbler. My only redeeming quality is that I'm a PERSISTENT bumbler.

| |
| 11:18 | <rhombus> sbalneav, ogra: well, it's going over a VPN, so the security is not so big a concern.
| |
| 11:18 | <sbalneav> I'm certainly the right overall SHAPE for a bumblebee :)
| |
| 11:18 | <joebaker> *** joebaker thanks ogra for putting the swapfiles in a ramdisk on the server. Actually I suggested that some time ago. I've got to report a WINE bug. bye for now.
| |
| 11:19 | <rhombus> I've got a Wyse S50 thin client; I'm looking at FreeNX now, I think that's the only way this is going to work
| |
| 11:19 | <sbalneav> rhombus: Then you're back to the first problem: x over high latency links is painful :)
| |
| 11:19 | exodos has quit IRC | |
| 11:19 | <rhombus> Well, in point of fact, the problem was more that NFS chokes
| |
| 11:19 | NFS is horrible over WAN.
| |
| 11:19 | Has anyone used FreeNX here?
| |
| 11:20 | Rumour has it it's good :)
| |
| 11:20 | but as usual, the docs are either dated or spotty.
| |
| 11:21 | <sbalneav> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/BumblebeeMan.gif
| |
| 11:21 | <whiprush_> rhombus: I undeployed freenx, too buggy
| |
| 11:22 | all it does is gets people's hope up that they don't have to drive to campus.
| |
| 11:22 | <rhombus> whiprush_: when did you do this? What happened?
| |
| 11:22 | <whiprush_> I deployed it all last year, shut it off this summer
| |
| 11:22 | <rhombus> whiprush_: What sort of troubles did you have?
| |
| 11:23 | <whiprush_> dead sessions, hanging sessions, etc.
| |
| 11:23 | like, even when people logged out their session would hang around.
| |
| 11:23 | didn't feel like dealing with the maintenance of keeping it running.

| 11:24 | <rhombus> whiprush_: did you have users on all kinds of different connections? This is a more controlled environment -- just one link, 10 Mbps
| |
| 11:25 | <whiprush_> yeah, this is them connecting from home over the internet and such.
| |
| 11:25 | though I suspect that it would have the same problems regardless of connection
| |
| 11:26 | <rhombus> whiprush_: what versions did you use?
| |
| 11:26 | <whiprush_> don't recall, I haven't followed it in a while
| |
| 11:27 | <rhombus> whiprush_: no machine is on version 3
| |

| 13:18 | <ByPasS> sbalneav : yesterday u told me to passwd the root login in the chroot in order to log in console *that worked* I now compiled a program in the chroot, when i starts it I get "Failed to fork child process" is there limitation as what can run in the chroot ?
| |
| 13:21 | <sbalneav> So, you've got a program, and you've put it in the chroot, and now, you're trying to start it up on the thin client?
| |
| 13:21 | There shouldn't be any limitation as to what runs on a thin client, other than the limitations of the thin client.
| |
| 13:21 | <ByPasS> I chrooted /opt/ltsp/i386, passwd one account (root for now), ./configure ./make
| |
| 13:22 | and now when I launch it I get the error
| |
| 13:22 | from the thinclient and/or when I chroot and try to run it
| |
| 13:23 | <sbalneav> Did you install the development tools within the choot?
| |
| 13:23 | <dan__t> 'morning.
| |
| 13:23 | <sbalneav> Becaause normally make, gcc, etc aren't in the chroot.
| |
| 13:23 | <dan__t> Today, I think I need to tackle VNC.
| |
| 13:23 | <ByPasS> yes I had to instlal build-essential / libc6 and libcurse-devel
| |
| 13:23 | <dan__t> But before that, I have a question on identifying clients.
| |
| 13:24 | I'd like hostname assignments to be something like user.name.internal.mydomain.tld
| |
| 13:24 | So when someone logs in, they have that hostname.
| |
| 13:24 | <ByPasS> dan_T : just set it in your /etc/hosts file
| |
| 13:24 | <dan__t> I think this has to do more with Xand gdm working in coordination with dhcpd
| |
| 13:24 | I don't want to assign static IPs, though.
| |
| 13:25 | Because in the office people might be using a different machine etc etc.
| |
| 13:25 | <sbalneav> ByPasS: Well, on the thin client, what happens if you gdb your program, or run it from strace.
| |
| 13:25 | There shouldn't be any restriction as to what runs in the chroot.
| |
| 13:25 | <ByPasS> sbal : good idea ill try that
| |
| 13:25 | kk
| |
| 13:25 | <dan__t> What else might you suggest, sbalneav?
| |
| 13:26 | <sbalneav> got get-lease-hostnames true; in your dhcpd.conf?
| |
| 13:26 | <dan__t> I do.
| |
| 13:26 | <sbalneav> and you'll have to define all the hostnames in either /etc/hosts, or dns.
| |
| 13:27 | <dan__t> So I don't have the option of assigning a login name to a hostname as I mentioned earlier?

| |
| 13:29 | <sbalneav> dan__t: You're using gdm you said?
| |
| 13:29 | Or ldm?
| |
| 13:29 | <dan__t> gdm
| |
| 13:30 | <sbalneav> ByPasS: You're running that on the server, in the chroot? Or on the client itself?
| |
| 13:30 | dan__t: You'd have to set up gdm for autologin.
| |
| 13:30 | <ByPasS> in the chroot atm
| |
| 13:30 | <dan__t> D'oh, don't want to do that.
| |
| 13:30 | <sbalneav> Have you mounted proc in the choot?
| |
| 13:30 | <dan__t> hrm
| |
| 13:30 | <Q-FUNK> howdy!
| |
| 13:30 | <sbalneav> Hey Q-FUNK
| |
| 13:31 | <dan__t> Suppose I could rig something through .xinitrc to update /etc/hosts?
| |
| 13:31 | <ByPasS> root@linux:/# df
| |
| 13:31 | df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory
| |
| 13:31 | umm
| |
| 13:31 | <sbalneav> right, not without proc
| |
| 13:31 | you'll need to mount /proc on the chroot if you're running it on the server.
| |
| 13:32 | <dan__t> sbalneav, I'm going to write a script to update /etc/hosts via /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
| |
| 13:32 | I think that will work.
| |
| 13:32 | Let's see :)
| |
| 13:32 | <sbalneav> dan__t: I'm unsure of the need for that? Why not just define your hostnames in /etc/hosts the normal way?
| |
| 13:33 | <dan__t> Because I don't want to assign static IPs.
| |
| 13:33 | <sbalneav> You don't have to.
| |
| 13:33 | <dan__t> er...
| |
| 13:33 | <ByPasS> sbal : because he wants the hostname to be USER.whatever
| |
| 13:34 | <dan__t> Something of that nature.
| |
| 13:34 | I just want to be able to identify users on machines.
| |
| 13:34 | They may or may not be at the same machine every day.
| |
| 13:35 | Make sense?
| |
| 13:36 | <sbalneav> ok, I see what you want. WHY you want to do it is beyond me.
| |
| 13:36 | Guaraldo has quit IRC | |
| 13:36 | <dan__t> Simplify administration tasks.
| |
| 13:36 | i.e. vnc and such.
| |
| 13:36 | <sbalneav> How's it going to simplify anything?
| |
| 13:37 | <dan__t> And, of course, xeyes with export DISPLAY=, XAUTHORITY= etc etc ;)
| |
| 13:37 | I've been known to kview tubgirl.jpg on random computers when some of the other staff give me a hard time, too.
| |
| 13:37 | <sbalneav> ummm, ok.
| |
| 13:37 | good luck to you then.
| |
| 13:38 | <dan__t> Seriously thought, any attempts that I make to vnc to a client machine, I'm going to need an easy way to identify which machine I want to tap into.
| |
| 13:38 | Right?
| |
| 13:38 | Or, wait..... it wouldn'tmatter since the vnc server would be running on the LTSP server, just using a different screen.....
| |
| 13:39 | Right?
| |
| 13:40 | <sbalneav> Not that familiar with vnc, don't use it much.
| |
| 13:40 | plamengr has quit IRC | |
| 13:40 | <sbalneav> but it's dead easy to map a user to a machine, just use /proc/<pid>/env
| |
| 13:40 | and look at either DISPLAY or SSH_CLIENT.
| |
| 13:41 | macjunkie has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:41 | <sbalneav> xinit runs as a user, so updating your hosts file's going to be tricky, unless you chmod 666 /etc/hosts, which would be bad.
| |
| 13:42 | <dan__t> No, was going to run a cron as root.
| |
| 13:42 | make a /tmp/hosts.d/ directory or something.
| |
| 13:42 | Are you familiar with the vnc-ltsp-config package at all?
| |
| 13:43 | <sbalneav> Nope, like I say, I don't work on the vnc part of things.
| |
| 13:43 | <macjunkie> i'm trying to troubleshoot our LTSP install and am stumped, our workstation folks replaced all the machiens in one of our labs with newer hardware they're using reletively the same tg3 broadcom nic but I'm getting an error about "could not automatically detect the network card" i tried googling that and can't find anything explaining what i need to do fix that other than option 129 but doesn't say what i need to put for it
| |
| 13:43 | highvolt1ge has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:43 | <dan__t> I understand.
| |
| 13:44 | tiagovaz has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:44 | <sbalneav> macjunkie: What version of LTSP, on what server?
| |
| 13:46 | <macjunkie> centos 4.5, I believe its ltsp 5 we did an update to it about 6 months ago but I forgot what version we put on it
| |
| 13:46 | i'm looking in /opt/ltsp is there an easy way to determine that? i don't see anything terribly obvious
| |
| 13:48 | <sbalneav> It's probably 4.2
| |
| 13:49 | You'll need to set nic=<drivername> on the pxe command line.
| |
| 13:49 | <macjunkie> yea its 4.2
| |
| 13:49 | DonSilver has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:49 | <macjunkie> just poked around ltspadmin
| |
| 13:50 | so i booted the box off a ubuntu cd and did an lsmod and it shows up as tg3 BCM95755
| |
| 13:50 | so i put nic= BCM95755
| |
| 13:50 | ?
| |
| 13:51 | <sbalneav> tg3 is the driver that's loaded?
| |
| 13:51 | <macjunkie> yeah
| |
| 13:51 | <sbalneav> nic=tg3
| |
| 13:51 | <macjunkie> ok :)
| |
| 13:52 | ok one more question :) so i'm looking at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=518936
| |
| 13:52 | when i was googling this
| |
| 13:52 | and for option 128 do I just put what they have or where does that come from?
| |
| 13:53 | Guaraldo has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:54 | <sbalneav> option 128's for etherboot cards.
| |
| 13:54 | These using etherboot?
| |
| 13:55 | <macjunkie> sorry for being dumb :) I wasn't the one who configured this part
| |
| 13:55 | i'm looking at the host declaration in dhcp
| |
| 13:55 | and theres a mention of etherboot
| |
| 13:56 | http://pastebin.com/d178cdb4f
| |
| 13:57 | <sbalneav> ok, like I say, are these new nics using etherboot?
| |
| 13:57 | If they are, you'll have to set option-128
| |
| 13:58 | if they're using pxe, set it up in the pxe options file.
| |
| 13:59 | <macjunkie> i put option 128 in the host decl and its still complaining so its using pxe

| 15:07 | <jbassett> Evening
| |
| 15:09 | Is anyone out there using udhcpd as their dhcp server with ltsp? I am trying it out as I am having issues with MAC addresses wrongly detected on the clients. I have been unable to find much in the way of tftp information for this particular server though. So if anyone has a working conf it would be much appreciated.
| |
| 15:09 | Thanks
| |
| 15:09 | <dan__t> I use it
| |
| 15:09 | <jbassett> ooo
| |
| 15:09 | would you be able to wind me a working conf please
| |
| 15:09 | <dan__t> The clients can't detect their own MAC address?
| |
| 15:10 | <jbassett> well, clients work fine except the Evo T20s
| |
| 15:10 | They work fine on 4.1 but 4.2 and 5 they usually detected by server as 00:00:00:00:00:00 so i can only use one Evo at a time on the network
| |
| 15:10 | <dan__t> what do they do, instead of detecting their own MAc addresses?
| |
| 15:10 | I see.
| |
| 15:11 | <jbassett> They sometimes report correct mac, othertimes they dont
| |
| 15:11 | I thought i'd give a different server deamon a go
| |
| 15:11 | <dan__t> http://pastebin.ca/675072
| |
| 15:11 | but dhcpd is dhcpd
| |
| 15:12 | <jbassett> true :-) Im clutching at straws as I have a shed full of Evos :-(

| 17:13 | <gonzaloaf_work> jammcq, Hi, I solved my problem about the NIC, but I dont want to create one file per each new computer I add to my LTSP system, I tried to add the module to the niclist but I realized that the module was already in this file, what can I do in that case?
| |
| 17:13 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
| 17:14 | DonSilver_ has quit IRC | |
| 17:14 | <jammcq> gonzaloaf_work: the module is in the file. it's the PCI Vendor and Device ID's that aren't
| |
| 17:14 | <gonzaloaf_work> jammcq, how can I fin those IDs ?
| |
| 17:15 | <jammcq> boot the workstation to a shell, by setting "SCREEN_01 = shell" lts.conf file
| |
| 17:15 | then, run 'lspci -n'
| |
| 17:15 | it's spit out all of the pci vendor:device id's for all pci devices in the system
| |
| 17:17 | <gonzaloaf_work> jammcq, let say, in this case of my computer the output is: 0a:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705_2 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03), then I should add to the niclist file the line "0a:0b.0 e100" ?
| |
| 17:17 | <jammcq> you didn't say '-n'
| |
| 17:18 | and a 'Broadcom' card is NOT a 'e100'
| |
| 17:18 | <gonzaloaf_work> jammcq, yes I know it was just an example
| |
| 17:18 | <jammcq> the PCI vendor:device should be 4 hex digits, a colon, and 4 hex digits
| |
| 17:19 | <gonzaloaf_work> jammcq, yes I have to do first a 'lspci' then a 'lspci -n' to see the match
| |
| 17:19 | <jammcq> yeah
| |
| 17:20 | <gonzaloaf_work> jammcq, thanks I will try adding this and build again the initramfs
| |
| 17:22 | jammcq, do you have a manual to do that? uncompress and compress again the initramfs?

| |
| 21:00 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: messed him up how ?
| |
| 21:00 | <sbalneav> hold on
| |
| 21:00 | <jammcq> sbalneav: no worries, I wrote a quick netprint in perl
| |
| 21:00 | <sbalneav> vagrantc: Not sure, something to do with kubuntu
| |
| 21:00 | * vagrantc wonders why kubuntu problems should cause him to revert stuff in the Debian directory | |
| 21:01 | <sbalneav> Oh, I merged it all in one lump, so I reverted all in one lump
| |
| 21:01 | jammcq: ah, -q 0
| |
| 21:01 | nc -q 0 hostname port
| |
| 21:02 | <jammcq> -q 0 says 'hang forever' I think
| |
| 21:02 | <ari_stress> hello sbalneav, thanks for yesterday's tip in printing. it works :)
| |
| 21:02 | <jammcq> but.... this version of nc doesn't support '-q' at all
| |
| 21:02 | <ari_stress> and sound also works using pulseaudio, but not on my notebook
| |
| 21:02 | <sbalneav> after EOF on stdin, wait the specified number of seconds and then quit
| |
| 21:02 | <jammcq> sbalneav: yeah, -q 0 says 'NEVER quit'
| |
| 21:03 | but this is a RHEL3 system and this version of nc doesn't support that
| |
| 21:03 | but, no problem, perl to the rescue
| |
| 21:03 | <sbalneav> yep, easy to code up other ways.
| |
| 21:03 | <jammcq> try THAT on windows :)
| |
| 21:03 | actually, I could. i'd just use perl there too :)
| |
| 21:04 | * vagrantc wonders how it messed anything up | |
| 21:04 | <vagrantc> i only symlinked files that were identical
| |
| 21:04 | i left alone the ones that differed
| |
| 21:05 | <sbalneav> I'm not exactly sure what it was all about, something to do with the packaging.
| |
| 21:05 | <vagrantc> it also reverted my attempt to have the debian theme actually use a debian logo rather than an edubuntu one.
| |
| 21:06 | <sbalneav> Not too late to fix it,
| |
| 21:06 | <jammcq> vagrantc: AH, that's it :)
| |
| 21:06 | <sbalneav> but we'll need to coordinate with ogra
| |
| 21:06 | Gonna be on tomorrow am?
| |
