hi
00:20
<muh2000>
my login screen does not load out of the sudden :/
00:20
xdmcp i think is the problem
00:22zodman has joined #ltsp
00:27
<ari_stress>
did u make any changes?
00:27
<muh2000>
no ^^
00:27
<ari_stress>
strange :D
00:28
<muh2000>
hmm i managed to have the login screen back with restart of kdm.
00:28
but when i login it loads shortly some stuff and jumps back to the login.
00:28
i can logon @ the server or with ssh though
00:29
ltsp5 was it afair, maybe i should update it?
00:31
<ari_stress>
if you make any changes in whatsoever, you might need to do:
00:31
ltsp-update-sshkeys
00:31
ltsp-update-image
00:31
<muh2000>
-bash: ltsp-update-sshkeys: command not found :/
00:33highvoltage has joined #ltsp

<muh2000>
-bash: ltsp-update-image: command not found
00:43* sutula suggests "sudo" before both as they are probably in /usr/sbin
00:43
<muh2000>
sutula: i am loged in as root ;)
00:44
whoami .... root
00:44* sutula hasn't been paying that much attention...just an idea
00:44
<muh2000>
^^
00:44
<ari_stress>
muh2000: maybe you're not using ltsp5
00:45
<sutula>
muh2000: It exists on ltsp5 on my server
00:45
<muh2000>
i am starting to think it is still 4.2 i just remember testing ltsp5 some time ago... not quite sure, but doesnt change the problem that auth does not work anymor with ltsp :(
00:47
i think i switch to ltsp5...
00:48johnny has joined #ltsp
00:49
<sutula>
muh2000: Probably a reinstall would be a help anyway...either it will solve it or at least you'll be on a version you can debug
00:51
<muh2000>
hmmmmm or my auth system is broken somehow
00:54
kdm: 192.168.88.8:0[10623]: pam_unix(kdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=192.168.88.8:0 ruser= rhost=192.168.88.8 user=bla

<muh2000>
so i ran "ltsp-build-client --dist etch --arch i386" what now?
01:43
hmmmm nfsmount is complaining that it needs a path o_O
01:44
but the path is the same as before
01:49

01:55
help
01:55
where is that /script/ folder ?
02:00
hmmm i changed the kernel to use 2.6.22-2-486 now it loads to some point
02:05
there is a login screen, i managed to set a password for root with chroot... but i feel a bit lost
02:05
no X, no login with normal users from the hostsystem etc..
02:06putty_thing`` has quit IRC
02:07putty_thing`` has joined #ltsp
02:08
<muh2000>
and i wonder why the nbd client wants to access /lib/modules/2.6.22-2-486/modules.dep... i thought this was exported with nfs ?!?
02:20
hmmm
02:23
killed ltsp5 again, installed 4.2 still the same error...

Hi channel,
04:55
I followed the 2nd step of the http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto, while running ltsp-build-clent I got this comment
04:55
Adding `diversion of /sbin/start-stop-daemon to /sbin/start-stop-daemon.real by ltsp-client'
04:55
OK
04:56
and It try to upgrade a large no. of pkg, is it bug ? or normal,

daya, if you run ltsp-build-client
06:49
it makes a chrooted environenmet
06:49
and it fetches the packages from the repo's
06:49
so yes, you'll be downloading quite a time.
06:50
Check out this page: http://www.suares.an/ltsp-build-client-apt-mirror

ace_suares, I am doing it in etch,

joebaker: joebaker was last seen in #ltsp 5 days, 22 hours, 24 minutes, and 1 second ago: <joebaker> So I could build the chroot environment on it, then maybe copy all that into /opt/ltsp/ppc/ just like /opt/ltsp/i386. Then that would work?

11:53
<cliebow>
just a quickie..trying to grep for Serial Number in System_profiler and only want to get the first instance returned..any bright way top do so??
11:54
<rjune_>
grep "foo" file | head -1
11:54
probably not the best way, but it should work
11:54
<cliebow>
so read output to a file first?
11:54
<rjune_>
no
11:54
I assumed a file.
11:55
you can do cmd | grep "foo" | head -1 too
11:55
<cliebow>
give it a whirl..tanks

Did someone here tried *nux/ltsp/pulse on the client side? I would like to run audio apps from the server and redirect the sound to the local soundcard.
13:21
<johnny>
it's suppose to do that automatically i thought
13:21
the audio will just suck
13:21
if you're doing editing and stuff

<lns>
steph_, johnny, fyi audacity doesn't work via pulse
13:24
<johnny>
that's a seperate issue
13:24
plus that would run horrible on the server
13:24
would totally eat up everything
13:25
that needs to run locally for sure
13:25primeministerp has joined #ltsp
13:25
<steph_>
I know, but I need a client/server architecture. Audio is only a small part of the project.
13:26
*thin client*
13:27
<johnny>
they won't be thin if you want to run audio editing apps
13:28
lns, audacity take long enough and enough space on a amd64 with 1gb ram .. and major amounts of scratch space
13:28* johnny doesn't even thinking gigabit networking with even just a few clients would work out well
13:28
<johnny>
think*
13:29
<steph_>
Even if it's just MIDI applications?
13:30
<johnny>
im no expert at that
13:30
trying asking around in linux audio forums for folks who have tried to do the same thing
13:32
<lns>
steph_, are you just trying to get sound in your apps w/ltsp, or do actual sound editing?
13:33
<loather-work>
MIDI is fairly lightweight, being that it's serial data
13:33
there's no actual sound data sent with the stream
13:34
<steph_>
I have already sound on the client side. But when i use audio apps, the sound come from the server's speaker. :|
13:34
<loather-work>
it's just commands to strike this key at this velocity, using this particular sample
13:35
<johnny>
steph_, you're prolly going to have to go directly to the specific application folks and talk to them about your setup
13:35
and let them tell you how possible it is
13:36
<steph_>
As an example, i would like to use a software synth who trigger with a keyboard connected on the client MPU-401 port
13:36
<lns>
ah
13:36
<steph_>
ok
13:36
<lns>
yeah not sure about midi in ltsp..
13:52
is there a URL/howto on configuring ALSA -> PulseAudio bridge in Gutsy?
13:52
or is it the same as in Feisty (ala http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Feisty/HOWTO:_PulseAudio )
14:00
<steph_>
I'll take a look

Hola. Anybody manage to get flash+sound working on a 64-bit server OS?
14:45
<steph_>
Blinny: it might interest you http://stephen-walder.blogspot.com/2007/11/sound-flash-thin-clients.html
14:50
<lns>
Blinny, I tried for ~3 months to get flash sound to work in amd64 server
14:50
<Blinny>
I'm reading through old ltsp mailing list archives from before I joined (early Feisty stuff)
14:50
<lns>
even compiling the revolutionlinux libflashsupport source by hand (with help of ogra to get past failed attempts) didn't work
14:51
<Blinny>
steph_: That works fine for 32-bit servers
14:51
lns: *Nod*
14:51
<lns>
Blinny, if i were you i would just install i386 server..i did that, installed the RL libflashsupport package and it *works*...that's enough for the crap i went through to get it working in amd64
14:51
<Blinny>
This is basically The Sticking Point for me.. I'm on K12V6 right now and have (mostly) everything working. The older CUPS tends to crap out a little too often, and my testing of Gutsy has been very positive, with that exception.
14:52
lns: Running a dedicated i386 box just for serving the firefox/flash app?
14:52BadMagic has joined #ltsp
14:52
<lns>
Blinny, no, reformatting server and installing i386 OS
14:52
<Blinny>
My sticker is the PAE/RAM issue; I have 8GB and my reading re: the overhead of PAE isn't very attractive.
14:52
heh
14:52
Unfortunately, not an option.
14:52putty_thing`` has quit IRC
14:52putty_thing`` has joined #ltsp
14:52
<lns>
Blinny, what's the overhead for PAE?
14:53
<Blinny>
I've read a thread (dangling, never finished) of someone using 64-bit kernel on i386 OS.
14:53
What I've seen is ~20%
14:53
(slowdown)
14:53
<lns>
wow
14:53
<Blinny>
er, :s;seen;read
14:53
I have _not_ tested.. the big box in question is serving a lot of users right now.
14:54
My next highest RAM'd machine is like 384MB (;
14:55
<lns>
well i haven't put this one into production yet but installing the server kernel got 8gb support for me. as far as i'm concerned it's worth it for me...flash / shockwave are too important (quite unfortunately) to try and hack together a solution for amd64 (considering the other anomolies we've experienced such as cups not working with firefox, etc...mostly firefox stuff really)
14:56
i wish revolutionlinux would just compile an amd64 version of libflashsupport...but...oh man..my head starts spinning when thjnking about amd64 OS, to 32-bit flash via nspluginwrapper, vs 32-bit libflashsupport, in 64-bit browser...its a mess
14:56
<Blinny>
Problems with CUPS and 64-bit FF or 32-bit FF?
14:56
<lns>
32-bit
14:56
yeah that's true actually, it was just ff32
14:56
<Blinny>
One doesn't need nspluginwrapper if you have 32-bit FF
14:57
I used nspluginwrapper for awhile. It crashed. A lot.
14:57
<lns>
yeah but pritning is b0rked
14:57
<Blinny>
Now I'm 32-bit FF on 64-bit OS.. but FC6-based.
14:59cliebow has quit IRC
14:59
<Blinny>
It works just well enough to get by for now.
14:59
The -server kernel is the PAE-enabled Gutsy kernel, I believe.
14:59
<lns>
right
14:59
i have full 8gb after installing server kernel
14:59
(i386)
15:00
of course 20% lag with PAE...ouch
15:00
<Blinny>
Do your own tests. It may be that AMD64 is markedly differently than IA_64, as each core has its own memory controller on AMD64.
15:02
For now I gotta run. Maybe Hoary will be time enough to address this. Cheers.
