hey - having trouble - edubuntu feisty + ltsp - users are not able to eject their USB thumb drives
02:35
we upgraded our setup from dapper, and we added a 'fuse' group to our LDAP
02:36
mostly, things work - but they are not able to eject - 'permission denied'
02:44McDutchie has joined #ltsp

jeste1, there is no need to eject, ltspfs does that transparently in the background after each file operation
02:58
they can just pull the keys out
02:59
<jeste1>
hey ogra
02:59
we talked to you a couple o' weeks back
03:00
there is an 'eject' option available for each drive
03:00
if we simply pull out the device, we get nautilus warnings
03:00
about unsafe device removal
03:02
second problem - if a user inserts a thumb drive into the ltsp server machine - a nautilus window appears on *each* client machine
03:02
and the clients have no permission to read the files so they get a warning dialog as well :-(
03:03
ogra, question - if users can just remove the thumb drive - how do they know when it is safe to pull out the drive if thye are copying a large file?
03:07
ogra, third question - how do we prevent all the drives on the LTSP server machine showing as desktop icons on the client desktops?
03:08
fourth q - why is /proc/mounts filled up with a 'huge' number of fuse mounts? shouldn't they all be cleaned up after the user logs out?

hey ogra
03:13
why is there is an 'eject' option available for each drive on the clients if they shouldn't eject? just an oversight? or did we configure it wrong?
03:13

03:17
<ogra>
hmm, sounds a bit like your ldm is broken, it is responsible for setting up the variables that gnomevfs, screensaver and powermanager need
03:17
(ldm is the login manager)
03:20
for the mount on server prob: run sudo gconf-editor, uset the automount and aoutobrowse keys under /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/, make them mandatory and default settings (right click on the key to get to that options)
03:20
that will stop the automounting for all users
03:21
(for server based devices (doesnt affect ltsp)
03:29
<jeste1>
we have two keys - automount_drives and automount_media should I do both?
03:29
the autobrowse key is marked as read-only - how can I modify it?
03:31Q-FUNK has quit IRC

<lns>
is it common to have lingering procs like "/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session" and "python /usr/bin/scp-client"? If not, how can I flush them when they're obviously not in use?
03:33
also, i have a lot of "/bin/nbd-server 0 /tmp/fileWgeBed" type lingering procs
03:33
this is ubuntu feisty btw
03:37
<jeste1>
ogra - I changed the keys in gconf-editor, but if i put a usb drive in the LTSP server it still pops up on client machines
03:37
and when users log into client machines, they still see the hard disks and floppy drive on the server...
03:56
ogra you still around?

jeste1, hm, you said you upgraded from dapper ... how did you do that exactly ?
04:23
<jeste1>
hey ogra
04:23
aptitude dist-upgrade
04:23
then we did rm -rf /opt/ltsp and a complete rebuild of ltsp-server
04:25
<ogra>
to edgy i hope
04:25
before upgrading to feisty
04:25
else you'll have very unpredictable results
04:26
<jeste1>
hmmm...
04:27
sorry, I'm not sure we went thru edgy - probably just straight to feisty
04:27
is there anyway I can check that out?
04:28
<ogra>
not really
04:28
<jeste1>
how should I resolve this upgrade cleanly? Wipe and install gutsy from scratch?
04:28
<ogra>
but the different releases make different changes to defaults beyond that you should never use apt or aptitude for a distro upgrade oin ubuntu
04:29
thats what upgrade manager is for ...
04:29
i.e. in feisty ubuntu doesnt use device names anymore, all devices are accessed by their UUID
04:29
<jeste1>
wow, i'm really shocked to hear that... I was a debian user for years, and apt-get dist-upgrade always worked
04:29
<ogra>
if you didnt do the upgrade the proper way that migration wont be complete
04:30
<jeste1>
but i'm confused - how is it possible that apt-get dist-upgrade is *not* the proper way?
04:30
<ogra>
also we have many probs with third party aps like automatix since they break the upgrades
04:30
<jeste1>
we don't use automatix
04:30
<ogra>
so update-manager cares to revert the bad changes such apps do
04:30
<jeste1>
hmm..
04:31
that would explain why we have wierd things happening - i'm just really shocked that I would have to first go from dapper => edgy, and then edgy ->feisty
04:32Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp
04:32
<ogra>
its stated in all upgrade instructions
04:32
<jeste1>
and that I should use the GUI update-manager instead of the command line apt-get dis-upgrade - what about all the remote machines I maintain?
04:32
<ogra>
at least in all official ones (wiki, website, help.ubuntu.com and the shipped docs)
04:32
there is a commandline version for that purpose
04:33
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
04:33
<jeste1>
ah - sorry didn't know - I've just used debian for so long...
04:33
how can I fix it? Install for scratch?
04:34
<ogra>
that'd be your safest option i guess
04:34
its hard to tell whats all wrong in that state
04:34
might be minor coud be a lot ...
04:35
<jeste1>
ok - then maybe we will wait until gutsy is out and then do it
04:35
<ogra>
we will support LTS -> LTS upgrades
04:35
but nobody checks what breaks if you skip releases :)
04:35
<jeste1>
:-)
04:35
thanks ogra
04:35
talk to you after gutsy is out and let you know how it worked
04:36
<ogra>
well, gutsy is in RC state
04:36
<jeste1>
we're having horrible X performance with images
04:36
we REALLY hope gutsy fixes that
04:36
<ogra>
in feisty ?
04:36
<jeste1>
(load avg > 15 with 7 users...) with feisty
04:36
<ogra>
gutsy offers an unencrypted ldm mode
04:36
<jeste1>
ok
04:36
<ogra>
that should drop the load a lot
04:37
<jeste1>
yeah - we hope
04:37
<ogra>
it still uses ssh for passwords etc ...
04:37
<jeste1>
cool
04:37
thanks again for the help
04:37
ciao

<sep>
does ltsp-build-client support more then 1 --mirror ?
05:18
<muh2000>
sep i dont know but the mirrors give good speed
05:20
<sep>
i meen debian main + skolelinux local
05:21
not multiple with main
05:22
or a hook where you can copy in a custom sources.list after the base install
05:22
<muh2000>
i have a problem. "switchroot: exec of inet (/sbin/init) failed!: 2" i am a bit confused about the content of my /opt/ltsp/ folder.... there is a amd64 folder but not a i386 folder... where do i get the files for i386 ?
05:22
people are actually using sko linux? interessting ^^
05:23
<ari_stress>
muh2000: your server is 64bit?
05:23
<ogra>
sep, --extra-mirror
05:23
<sep>
ogra, YAY !
05:23
<muh2000>
ari_stress: yes it is but it is news to me that ltsp had a problem with that
05:23
<sep>
is there --extra-components too ?
05:24
<ogra>
ltsp-build-client --extra-help ;)
05:25
no extra-components though, but yu can override the default
05:25
<muh2000>
ogra: ok thanks :) the clients will automatically chose between 64 and 32 bit ?
05:25
<sep>
muh2000, the whole muncipialty runs skolelinux here,
05:25
10 schools
05:26
might expand the network to the neigbouring muncipiality too
05:26
<ari_stress>
muh2000: if your server is 64bit but your clients is 32bit. then you must build the client env for 32bit
05:26
<muh2000>
sep i c ^^
05:27
ari_stress: ok, the last time i installed ltsp was when there were no 64bit releases ^^
05:27
<ari_stress>
muh2000: in ubuntu. use the command: ltsp-build-client --arch i386
05:28
<muh2000>
ari_stress: figured that already out with extended help, but thnx anyway :) is there somethings i should be aware of with the kernels?
05:28
<sep>
ogra, what does the part about lower priority mean ? eg if a packages is in both main and local with higer version in local will you get the local or the main one ?
05:29
<ari_stress>
none i think
05:29
<ogra>
you should get the local one
05:29
<muh2000>
ok
05:33wima has joined #ltsp
05:33
<muh2000>
hmmm still the problem no init...
05:34
why the hell was ltspadmin killed anyway? that programm was good....
05:36
kernel panic - not syncinf attempted to kill init!
05:36
i dont get it
05:38
what else happened since the last time i did that stuff? what was changed in configuration the ltsp stuff?
05:41
where is programm LTSPADMIN ?

hmm i fail to find --extra-components
06:13ari_stress has quit IRC
06:14
<muh2000>
hmmmm i got a littlebit further but now there a msgs repeating themself: "scsi0: Someone reset Channel A". well i switched the scsi controller off in the bios (is an old computer with onboard scsi i am using for ltsp)
06:20ogra has joined #ltsp
06:22
<sep>
there is no --extra-components
06:22
so --extra-mirror is not useable in my scenario
06:24
<muh2000>
ltsp-build-client --extra-mirror ??
06:25
<sep>
is the one i am talking about yes
06:32
<ogra>
sep, debian uses only main as default, just add --components main,<whatever_you_want_here>
06:33
(guessing skole doesnt differ in that selection)
06:34
<sep>
ogra, problem is that those is added to every mirror
06:34
so while i want http://skole etch local and http://debian etch main
06:34
i do get http://skole etch main local and http://debian etch main local
06:34
and that obviously does not work
06:35RichEd has joined #ltsp
06:36
<ogra>
ah, right
06:36
hmm
06:36
<sep>
so i am looking at how to copy in a premade sources.list at the rigth location
06:36
<ogra>
thats easy :)
06:36
<sep>
(when you know how)
06:37
<ogra>
oh, seems debian didnt take my copy sourceslist plugin
06:38
cp /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/015-sources-list /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Debian/015-sources-list
06:39
--copy-sourceslist will then copy the servers list into the client
06:39
you can modify it to use /etc/ltsp/sources.list or so
06:39
<sep>
there is no such file in ltsp-server 0.99debian12+0.0.edu.etch.7
06:39
<ogra>
ouch 0.99 is pretty old
06:39
is that sarge ?
06:39
<sep>
is it available in svn or web somewhere
06:39
etch
06:40
rather debien-edu etch
06:40
ogra, the servers list would be fine
06:41
<ogra>

06:42
<sep>
ogra, i got it from the package in sid
06:42
this is probably just gonna explode in my face knowing my luck :)
06:42
<ogra>
nah
06:42
it doesnt use aything special :)
06:44RichEd has left #ltsp
06:44

still use mirror for base i assume
06:44

07:05
i'm trying to get a machine to boot with PXE
07:06
it gets the filename from dhcp and tryes then doanlofing pxelinunx.cfg/default
07:06
then it stops saying "TFTP server does not support the tsize option"
07:06
actualy i thought it has....
07:12
that was the netkit tfpd btw. the hp one just sits there doiung nothing
07:19

hmm
07:29
ltsp client says: "nfs: server not responding, still trying" and the server says: "Oct 12 14:25:33 weaver mountd[5874]: authenticated mount request from ws101.ltsp:964 for /opt/ltsp/i386 (/opt/ltsp)"
07:29
<sep>
should i not get a ltsp-client package installed inside the chroot.. ??!?
07:32
<Blinny>
aep: I had that, and in dhcpd.conf I do this to solve it: option option-129 "MOPTS=nolock,ro,wsize=2048,rsize=2048";
07:33
<aep>
trying that thanks
07:36
hm. no
07:37
a manual mount doesn't work either. i guess once again nfs hates me
07:37
and i hate it back
07:38
oh wait. a localmount works fine
07:38
only when running the rpc dameon of course :/
07:40Q-FUNK has quit IRC
07:42
<aep>
any chance to run ltsp without nfs? i really hate it
07:44
<Blinny>
aep: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPWithoutNFS
07:44
<aep>
uh buntu. well thanks
07:45
btw i'm uzsing PXE, not etherboot
07:45
i guess that means those options are ignored
07:45
<Blinny>
aep: What distro are you using?
07:46
<aep>
archlinux
07:46
doesn't matter much. it's vanilla stuff mostlay
07:47
ah i found a way to tell PXE that options.
07:47
thanks to the ltsp wiki.
07:47
let's try
07:51
yehha
07:51
thanks Blinny :)

hi
08:14
i have a dude, if my ltsp servir is a 64bits version, do my client hardware need to supor 64bits?
08:14
<multik>
hi group
08:14
<pani_alex>
o/
08:14
<multik>
I don't think so.
08:15
<pani_alex>
so i can use k12ltsp 64 bits and have for clients p1 100Mhz?
08:15
<Blinny>
pani_alex: Yes.
08:16
<pani_alex>
great
08:16
and if i wana use kubuntu for may server, its dificult to install the ltsp for it? take in mind im not a linux user

ogra: Morning. Is there an up-to-date HOWTO for LTSP5 on Gutsy?
08:18
<ogra>
Blinny, its the same procedure as in feistz
08:19
*feisty
08:19
!ubuntu
08:19
<ltspbot>
ogra: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
08:20
<pani_alex>
!kubuntu
08:20
<ltspbot>
pani_alex: Error: "kubuntu" is not a valid command.
08:20
<pani_alex>
:(
08:21
<aep>
kubuntu is just another buntu last time i looked
08:21
so it's the same as ubuntu
08:21
the guide should work with it
08:21
<pani_alex>
ok
08:22
<ogra>
right
08:22
it only differs in the artwork, if you have a running kubuntu desktop it will automatically use kubuntu art
08:23
<muh2000>
damn now it tells me "nfs: need a path"
08:24mikkel has joined #ltsp

hm gdm doesn't show up either. weird
08:25
<muh2000>
dhcpd and nfs exports are configured...
08:26
<Blinny>
ogra: Thank you.
08:27
<aep>
any logfile for the X sevrer?
08:27
i would like to see why there is no xdmcp login
08:27
i enabled a shell on the client
08:27
just can't find the X log
08:31
<Blinny>
aep: In 4.2 I have one on the client console in /tmp/mnt/xorg.log

ogra: In testing Gutsy/LTSP5, I can't use 192.168.0.1 because it's an IP on my current LTSP setup. Where do I need to look to make the SERVER change? /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf ?
08:33
<ogra>
usually only in your dhcp setup
08:34
<Blinny>
Ah. Okay cool. Thank you.
08:34
<aep>
Blinny: thanks
08:34
nothing special in it grr
08:37
"Xnest -query 192.168.0.2 :2 " does that sound right for testing?
08:38
i get a blank screen
08:39
ffs going to run kdm. it worked the last time i tryed it
08:41
<pani_alex>
cuestion, with apt get install -d i let the install files i downloaded from internet on my disk, how do i know with are all the files the program i downloaded need to install that program?
08:42
<Blinny>
pani_alex: apt-get follows dependencies
08:44
<pani_alex>
dont undestand
08:44Gadi has joined #ltsp
08:47
<pani_alex>
Blinny: i dont understand, is that a command?
08:47
<Blinny>
pani_alex: apt-get will download all the files for whatever program you tell it to, including required libraries
08:48Egyptian[Home1 has joined #ltsp
08:48
<pani_alex>
yes i know that, but i want to let the files on disck so i bur a cd with that one and the next time i need to install dont need to download all it again
08:48
so how do i know wich file correspod to wich installer
08:49
<ogra>
pani_alex, is that ubuntu or debian ?
08:50
<pani_alex>
kubuntu
08:50
<ogra>
use the --keep-packages option
08:50Egyptian[Home1 has left #ltsp
08:50
<ogra>
it will keep the packages in /opt/ltsp/i386/var/cache/apt/archives
08:51
ltsp-build-client --extra-help is really helpful ;)
08:51
<pani_alex>
gona google that command to read about it
08:51
<ogra>
just type it in a terminal :)
08:52
<pani_alex>
a ok i have writen here that ivery program i download with apt-get lets is souce in the same folder making a salad, but if it will stay on /opt/ltsp... the ok
08:53
other cuestion to use the ltsp pakage, i need to install kubuntu like a siple pc or like a server?
08:54
<aep>
hey is there any xdmcp capable logion manager wich can auto login a specific user depending on the machine name?
08:54Joris_ has quit IRC
08:54
<ogra>
you need a desktop
08:55
<pani_alex>
ok
08:55
<ogra>
aep, i think the old ltsp used gdm for that :)
08:55
<Blinny>
ogra: The server needs to have ubuntu-desktop installed for the clients to boot into X?
08:55
<ogra>
there must be scripts on ltsp.org
08:55
<aep>
yeah but gdm is quiet hard to convince to actualy use xdmcp :/
08:55
<ogra>
Blinny, no, but to log in to anything
08:55
<Blinny>
Maybe that's my problem. I downloaded server and followed QuickInstall my clients just boot to a console and I can't log in.
08:55

Blinny, the login anager executes /etc/X11/Xsession by default ...
08:55
<Blinny>
ogra: So it'll work but it won't work? (;
08:56
And that's not a part of the /opt/ltsp tree
08:56
Gotchya.
08:56
<ogra>
right, thats already the session on the server
08:56
<Blinny>
Thanks.
08:56
<aep>
oh wait. kdm can do it. never mind
08:56
<ogra>
Blinny, well, the login manager should have started though
08:56
you should see it on the client
08:57
<Blinny>
ogra: I get a blinking cursor in top-left that just stays, and then if I hit alt+f1 I get the console login.
08:57
<ogra>
hmm
08:57
<Blinny>
Actually I get a blinking cursor on all VTs except 1
08:57
<ogra>
nothing on console 7 ?
08:57
<Blinny>
Nope.
08:57
<ogra>
thats fine we only start one tty
08:57
to save ram
08:57
<Blinny>
But I don't have any X on the server
08:58
<ogra>
do you know what kind of graphics card that is ?
08:58
<Blinny>
The only different thing I did from QuickInstall is hand-install dhcp server
08:58
I think it's a TNT2 nvidia riva series
08:58
oh wait
08:58
sorry
08:58
client is i810
08:58
<aep>
err. what's the port for xdmcp?
08:58
<ogra>
ah
08:58
Blinny, i have actually three ltsp fixes left before release ...
08:59
<Blinny>
Okay. I'll stop bothering you then (;
08:59
<ogra>
one of them is to default to 24bit clordepth since intel cards fail to start in 32 :P
08:59
create /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
08:59
add
08:59
[default]
08:59
X_COLOR_DEPTH=24
08:59
then boot the client again
09:00
should work
09:00
<Blinny>
Will do. Thanks.
09:00
<multik>
why in the world would one need 32bit color depth on terminal client?
09:00
<Blinny>
But I need ubuntu-desktop installed on the server in order to log in
09:00
<multik>
15k is more than enough
09:00
<ogra>
right
09:00
<Blinny>
Thanks ogra
09:00
multik: I use 16, but yah (;
09:01
<ogra>
multik, it looks odd in 16 ... gradients with stairstepping etc
09:02
<aep>
meh. i need some help guys. i'm not getting any desktop manager to run xdmcp. when i do "Xnest :2 -query 192.168.0.2" i just get a gray window
09:02
and no log entry
09:02
<multik>
I was amazed how big difference it makes when using 15k instead of 16k
09:02
<ogra>
yeah
09:02
its only one bit :)
09:03
err Kbit :)
09:03
<pani_alex>
ogra: i get one dude, the install will stay in /opt/ltsp/i386/var/cache/apt/archieves and i need to coppy that wole folder "../ltsp" or only "../archieves" so i will burn it on cd?
09:03
<ogra>
for the packages only copy the content of the archives folder
09:04
<pani_alex>
ok, and how do i install the next that the conten of archieves?
09:06
fist of all
09:06
i have hear some time that i can build a repository server for my lan
09:07
so when i need to install or upgrade something i get to that server and if more than 2 times the same file consulted it will be faster
09:07
how do i build that?, if my os is kubuntu my repository server must to be kubuntu ro doesent metter?
09:07
<ogra>
have a look at the apt-proxy package for that server
09:08
beyond that i thik there is a copy:/// protocol you could probably use for the --mirror option
09:08Joris has joined #ltsp
09:08
<ogra>
not sure though
09:08
<pani_alex>
you have never use a repository server?
09:09
<ogra>
pani_alex, in case of ubuntu its probably the least work to just download an edubuntu CD ... mount that and run ltsp-build-client --mirror file:///cdrom --security-mirror none
09:10
that will exclusively use the CD ... and the edubuntu CD brings everything with it for an ltsp install
09:11
(since yu use kubuntu it will download kubuntu-artwork-usplash though)
09:11
<pani_alex>
ok will try
09:13
<aep>
omg i'm going to kill myself
09:13
it's all just becouse i commented a line out in xdm.conf with #
09:13

09:28
Anyone have an idea how I can run a VESA xserver at 1024x768 for this i810 card? I'd really like to dump the i810 xserver

ok
09:33
<Blinny>
Woah
09:33
<mistik1>
Maybe we need to start another Macromedia petition
09:33

It works if I set X_COLOR_DEPTH = 8
09:34
<mistik1>
Blinny: Things like that is why I made the suggestion
09:34
<ogra>
likely a ram issue then ... can you set shared ram in the BIOS of that thing ?
09:34
<pani_alex>
ok, i have a 64bits installer cd and want to make a repository server for my lubuntu, the server must to be ubuntu or can be slackware?
09:34
<Blinny>
ogra: No.
09:35
ogra: These BIOSs seriously blow goats.
09:35
<ogra>
try X_VIDEORAM (not sure thats the right name) and set it big enough
09:36
probably the X version in 4.2 needs that set
09:36
<Blinny>
I set it to 160384 for giggles and no love.
09:36
<pani_alex>
ah, me repository server will be a celeron 766 with 384 ram
09:36

yes but is a result ok asking some cuestions about ltsp, thats becuose i'm here

Can I use any X_COLOR_DEPTH values between 8 and 16 ? Like 12?
09:44
Okay. 9, 10, 12 don't work.

I still don't understand why I can't VESA higher than 8 bits.

How is the XF86Config.1 on the client built in 4.2?
09:50
I mean, I suppose I could supply a custom xorg.conf file for this client, but I don't know that will fix the problem.
09:51
When I specify 16 in lts.conf it is actually written to XF86Config.1 - just looks like the vesa xserver ignores it

t was moved because we use squashfs images now ... you can use it in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc but you will have to run sudo ltsp-update-iage after every change ...

if you use /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf you dont need to rebuild the iage

you don't have to add the repo if you don't want; that's just the easiest way to get the package.

This is the second major iteration; the first also tried to clean up 30 seconds after logout, but that accidentally booted everyone off the server simultaneously every once in a while. So I took that back out. 8-o

K_O-Gnom, I have a lot of respect for the Gentoo folk... and its very useful IMO for embedded/custom systems...but for servers (let alone having to administer a lot of them) it seems to be really tough compared to other distros

hey where would be the best place to put information on the firefox/pixmap bugfix? ltsp wiki? ubuntu forums?
13:18
<multik>
guys, do I have to do anything to my edubuntu machine after making changes to lts.conf?
13:18
<lns>
multik, just reboot any thin clients that you want the change to take effect on
13:18
afaik anyway
13:18
<multik>
I copied the file from /opt/ltsp/i386/etc to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
13:19
<lns>
lts.conf?
13:19
<multik>
ok, I added XSERVER=amd to lts.conf, but thin client only gets text ltsp login prompt, instead of GUI
13:20
<sbalneav>
lns: What, the X_RAMPERC stuff?
13:20
<multik>
sbalneav: I tried XSERVER=amd and vesa, no go.
13:20
<sbalneav>
multik: This is a gutsy machine?
13:20
<multik>
yes
13:20
latest patches, kernel, everything
13:21
<sbalneav>
the amd video driver is broken. Autoconfig fails
13:21
<multik>
ok
13:21
<sbalneav>
see bug #140051
13:21
<multik>
do you know a workaround?
13:21
<sbalneav>
So you'll have to supply a custom xorg.conf file.
13:22
<multik>
do I need lts.conf at all?
13:22
<sbalneav>
yes
13:23
<multik>
what should I have in lts.conf? besides XSERVER and LTSP_Version=5.0.39?
13:23staffencasa has quit IRC
13:23
<sbalneav>
You'll need to put a custom xorg.conf file in $CHROOT/etc/X11, lets call it xorg.amd.conf
13:23
then set X_CONF=/etc/X11/xorg.amd.conf in your lts.conf file.
13:23
<lns>
sbalneav, yes the XRAMPERC bugfix
13:23
<multik>
can I delete XSERVER row?
13:23
from lts.conf?
13:24
<sbalneav>
Yes.
13:24
Also, once you copy the custom xorg.conf file into the chroot, don't forget to rebuild the image with ltsp-update-image
13:24
<multik>
so I just create xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 folder? I'm very new to this linux stuff
13:24
<ogra>
lns, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP create a ResolveRamIssues page there or so
13:25
<lns>
ogra, ty..i'll do that
13:25
<ogra>
it can hold more suggestions than just XRAMPERC
13:25iMav has quit IRC
13:25
<sbalneav>
multik: Well, you'll call it xorg.amd.conf, or similar, and you'll have to provide a valid xorg file for the amd.
13:25
<multik>
:) I'm lost already. Sorry mate
13:26
I assume I
13:26iMav has joined #ltsp
13:26
<multik>
I've to write something in that xorg.amd.conf file, right
13:26
<sbalneav>
yes.
13:27
<multik>
what is it that I've to write in there?
13:27
<sbalneav>
The config you need for your client.
13:28pani_alex has quit IRC
13:28
<sbalneav>
I don't know the exact client you've got, so I don't know exactly what you need in there.
13:28
<multik>
hmm, right
13:28
<ogra>
well, its some work but you can generate it :)
13:28
multik, add SCREEN_02=shell to your lts.conf
13:28
then boot the client
13:28
<multik>
ok, just that line?
13:29
<ogra>
switch with alt-f2 to the second console
13:29
<sbalneav>
he's got an amd chip. Xorg -configure won't work.
13:29
<ogra>
in the default section, yes
13:29
sbalneav, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might though
13:30
sbalneav, all he needs is a skeleton where he can replace the Dirver line anyway :)
13:30
<multik>
right, I have that row now in lts.conf. Do I have to rebuild something?
13:30
<ogra>
nope
13:30
just boot the client
13:31
then go to console 2
13:31
type there: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
13:31
and answer the questions :)
13:31
(usually the defaults are fine but make sure you have selected the amd driver)
13:32
<multik>
I see only black screen
13:32
<ogra>
if you are donw it will have generated an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 ...
13:32
<multik>
so I don't think it helped in my case.
13:32
<ogra>
that one you need to copy to your server into $CHROOT/etc/
13:33
then you did something wrong with the SCREEN_02 line
13:33
<multik>
?
13:33
what can I possibly do wrong with it? it's just a few words
13:33
:)
13:33
<ogra>
SCREEN_02=shell whill start a login on the second console
13:33
you should have a prompt now where you can type commands
13:34
(if you have pressed atl-f2 after the client booted)
13:34
<multik>
I'm rebooting the TC again
13:34
ok, now it's better, heh
13:34
<ogra>
good
13:34
<multik>
well, now I see blinking cursor on second screen
13:35
<ogra>
and something like root@ltsp# in front ?
13:35
<multik>
nope, just blinkinf cursor on black screen
13:35
<ltsppbot>
"sbalneav" pasted "AMD Geode xorg.conf" (93 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/332
13:35
<ogra>
ah
13:35
:)
13:35
multik, just take the file sbalneav pasted :)
13:36
<sbalneav>
That's an xorg.conf I was using for the thincan I had.
13:36
<ogra>
dont bother fiddling with creating it :)
13:36
<sbalneav>
It may work for you
13:36
it may not
13:36
<ogra>
remove SCREEN_02 again :)
13:36
<sbalneav>
Your mileage may vary :)
13:37
<multik>
ok, so take the file and put it to /etc/X11?
13:37
<ogra>
no
13:38
<multik>
:)
13:38
<ogra>
put it to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/xorg-amd.conf
13:38
run sudo ltsp-update-image
13:38
<multik>
ok
13:38
<ogra>
add X_CONF=/etc/xorg-amd.conf to your lts.conf
13:38
boot the client :)
13:43
<sbalneav>
ogra: While you're here
13:43
I'm just merging some of your last changes.
13:43
SHould we push the gutsy rev to the upstream ltsp branch?
13:43
<ogra>
after release, i'm to busy atm
13:43
we'll need vagrant for that
13:44vagrantc has joined #ltsp
13:44
<ogra>
its a three way merge ...
13:44
<sbalneav>
ok
13:44
<ogra>
vagrantc, will want to merge debian to the mainline as well
13:44
<sbalneav>
sure.
13:44
ok
13:44
We'll wait for a bit longer
13:44
<vagrantc>
ogra: yes. there are some things you won't like.
13:44
<ogra>
and we'll need to open an hardy-ltsp branch
13:44
<vagrantc>
but most of it is good.
13:44
<ogra>
vagrantc, like ?
13:45
<vagrantc>
ogra: like, only installing the Debian and ltsp theme
13:45
for ldm
13:45
<ogra>
why is that ?
13:45
hwats the ltsp theme btw ?
13:45
<vagrantc>
because it's a huge binary package and a waste to build for 12 architectures.
13:45
ogra: just grabbed the LTSP logo and gave it a background color
13:45
<ogra>
heh
13:46
<sbalneav>
What, space running low on debian's build servers, or something?
13:46
<ogra>
i'll ask our edubuntu artwrok girl .... (she also does the groklaw artwork)
13:46
<vagrantc>
i would like to split the ldm themes into at least one separate arch all package
13:46
<sbalneav>
Why do we care how big it is?
13:46
<ogra>
i dont
13:46
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: it's stupid to build a binary package with lots of big .png packages.
13:46
<ogra>
vagrantc, sure feel free
13:46
but we should keep the main themes in the package
13:46
Debian, Ubuntu, LTSP
13:46
<sbalneav>
Once we start adding fedora, suse, etc, they'll be in there too, and why not?
13:47
<ogra>
right
13:47laprag has joined #ltsp
13:47
<vagrantc>
i think the only theme that should be in the ldm package is the LTSP theme
13:47
<ogra>
i agree that derivative flavours should be in separate package
13:47
s
13:47
<multik>
uff, it's taking ages to update image on my test laptop
13:47
<ogra>
but we should ship all default supported distros
13:47
<vagrantc>
all the other stuff belongs in arch:all package(s)
13:48
<laprag>
n
13:48
<multik>
but file is there and link in lts.conf is also there. Let's see if it works
13:49
<sbalneav>
ogra: Now that rc's out, your work should be easing up a bit, yes?
13:49
<ogra>
vagrantc, fine with me
13:49
sbalneav, not really
13:49
i have several other deadlines this month (before UDS)
13:49
i.e. next week is classmate ...
13:49
then i need to build a derivative of edubuntu for a moodle server
13:50
<sbalneav>
Yikes, they work you hard, don't they.
13:50
<vagrantc>
i hope to upload LDM as a separate source package for debian experimental
13:50
<ogra>
i'm pretty swamped
13:50
yeah, hard time atm
13:50
<lns>
anyone (not ogra, you have enough to do =) ) who wants to proof-read my addition for the ff/pixmap bugfix on the ubuntu wiki can check it out here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ResolveRamIssues
13:51
I'm sure it's horribly out of standard wiki formatting...maybe someone can help me w/that
13:51
<vagrantc>
ogra: i think the other thing you won't like is that next-server is uncommented... but my rationale is until upstream dhcp doesn't require next-server, it should be up to patched distros that support operating without next-server to patch their dhcpd.conf files...
13:51
<ogra>
lns, you should put in a note that this is in gutsy and you can just use the variable there
13:52
<lns>
ogra, ok
13:52
stop looking at this stuff though. =p hehe
13:52
<ogra>
vagrantc, well, i'm considering having a ubuntu-dhcpd.conf that gets copied in at build time
13:52
vagrantc, actually i dont even need root-path anymore
13:52
<vagrantc>
ogra: right ...

ogra, you know, I was thinking about it last night, and one thing that the M$ world really has down is the "progress" dialogues... they have the cute little animated icons, progress bars, etc...that is something that a lot of people love, and feel good about while the machine is doing something (as trivial and useless as it is in the big pic)

14:05* vagrantc has *no* desire to be rid of the chroot
14:05* vagrantc doesn't even like generated images
14:06
<ogra>
/opt/ltsp/mounts/union holds the RW chroot now ...
14:06
and mksquashfs can work on it to create a new ro image if you want :)
14:08* ogra is so sad debian has a broken unionfs :/
14:08
<ogra>
vagrantc, i bet you'd like it if you had it working properly .. its so much nicer to have a full RW client
14:08
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: Anyone on the debian side looking into the unionfs breakage?
14:08

sbalneav, if we manage to make /opt/ltsp/rw-image.img dynamically growing we can have a command ltsp-chroot that automatically does the above mount stuff :)
14:17
an dyou can maintain the image like a chroot
14:17
<Blinny>
No more build-client?
14:18
<ogra>
still build-client for the initial image
14:18
<Blinny>
Yeah of course
14:18

but you dont need the chroot in /opt/ltsp/i386 around all the time

<sepski>
when i run ltsp-build-client with --copy-sourceslist and --late-packages sitesummary-client,debian-edu-artwork,debian-edu-artwork-usplash --early-packages debian-edu-archive-keyring the ltsp-client package is not installed at all and the chroot is broken
14:28
<ogra>
it needs to be in early-packages
14:28
ldm as well
14:29
<sepski>
so if i say early packages ill override the defaults ?
14:29
<ogra>
yeah
14:29
<sepski>
is there a way to get debian-edu-archive-keyring in before early packages ?
14:30
<ogra>
look in /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Debian/000-basic-configuration
14:30
it sets the defaults
