when someone puts a blank dvd or cd in the server, a message asking what to do pops up on every terminal screen...
04:55
it should really be on one /join #edubuntu
04:56
oops
04:56
<PerfDave>
Nubae: Which one?
04:56
Nubae: If all the users have rights to use the DVD or CD drive on the server...
05:00
<ogra>
Nubae, thats gnome-volume-manager, you can disable it with gconf-editor as sudo ... make the keys mandatory and default after unsetting and the popup will be disabled globally
05:02
unsetting /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoburn might be what you want here

hi guys. i'm doing remote support for an edgy ltsp we are bringing live in katsina, nigeria. i know edgy is old, but i want to get the system functional before versioning the OS. the terminals are not detecting thier usb mice... sshing into the terminal and running lsusb shows only the keyboard device... not mouse. and ideas? udev? i am in the process of apt-get upgrading the ltsp filesystem in /opt/ltsp now.
05:53
<PerfDave>
shogunx: Are the keyboards USB as well, and are they working?
05:53
<shogunx>
yes, and yes.
05:53
mice tested good on other hosts.
05:54
<ogra>
looks like a HW issue ... is the mouse USB 2.2 and the clients can only do 1.x ?
05:54
<shogunx>
no. thing is, they worked fine when i shipped them.
05:55
clients are sumotech st166's geode based pxe booters.
05:55
mice are rather generic usb mice.
05:55
i would concur with a hw issue, but its persistent across several terminals and mice.
06:00
<ogra>
do they show up if you replug them on the running terminal ?
06:01
<shogunx>
no, alas.
06:02
i had the onsite operator move a mouse from front to rear usb port to test this, actually.
06:05
i've never seen this before, so i am trying to trace the process by which the mouse registers its presence.
06:07
obviously udev needs to see it before X11 can see it... does the kernel need to see it before udev?
06:08mikkel has joined #ltsp
06:09
<shogunx>
i can't imagine the kernel not having usb mouse support... unless the initrd does not.
06:09
<PerfDave>
I can't imagine it having USB keyboard support but not mouse, don't they both use the usb-hcid or usb-ohci kernel module?
06:10
<shogunx>
i thought they did.
06:10
thats exactly why i am baffled here.
06:11
<PerfDave>
Does "cat /dev/input/mice" produce any output when the mouse is wiggled?
06:12
<shogunx>
i will check as soon as the apt-get upgrade is complete... its a rather slow link to katsina off a satellite bounce.

cliebow: sbalneav was last seen in #ltsp 3 weeks, 5 days, 20 hours, 44 minutes, and 41 seconds ago: <sbalneav> I guess the idea is: ship it in the safe, encrypted mode, and then if people decide they can be less safe, in exchange for speed, then they can, easily.
06:50
<jammcq>
heh
06:50
<cliebow>
Wow!
06:51
someone want to run up there see if Scottie is ok??
06:52
<jammcq>
I've placed a few phone calls, but nothing returned yet
06:52
<Nubae>
I've got a weird thing happening with my filter.... I send all users in 'users' to dansguardian which works great
06:52
<cliebow>
guess he deserves it..in spades
06:53
<Nubae>
but users in staff who are sent directly to the proxy get a access denied from it with every page

hello! On ltsp5 on Debian sid i've got : "Workstation not allowed to connect" on the ldm client. On log i've got: ldm: segfault...
08:24
<ogra>
"Workstation not authorized..." you mean ?
08:24
<yopla>
ogra: yes that ist :-)
08:24Gadi has joined #ltsp
08:24
<ogra>
run ltsp-update-sshkeys so the ssh server keys get copied into the client environment
08:24
<Gadi>
morning, all
08:24
<yopla>
then ltsp-update-image?
08:24
<ogra>
you need to do that if you changed ip etc and the ssh server key isnt in sync anymore
08:24
yopla, not sure, does sid now use nbd ? if so, yes
08:24
hey Gadi
08:25
<pscheie>
morning Gadi
08:25* Gadi gives the cool-kid nod to ogra and pscheie
08:25
<yopla>
ogra:yes it is!
08:26
<Gadi>
hey, ogra - got a quick one for ya this morning: are you aware of any lts.conf param whose value *cannot* be quoted? iirc, getltscfg strips the quotes, ya?
08:26
<ogra>
not really
08:27
i usually have had the prob that it doesnt strip them iirc (its a while ago that i touched anything of this)
08:27
<Gadi>
hmm...
08:27* Gadi will pop open the getltscfg source and have a look
08:28
<Gadi>
it would be nice if it could be consistent one way or the other
08:28
:)
08:28
<ogra>
while youre at it you could make it not die if it finds empty lts.conf :)
08:28
<Gadi>
np :)

that - and, reading it gives me a headache

ryudo: Error: "ltspfs" is not a valid command.
08:45

i have issues wich local dev on terminals anyone can helpme ?
08:45
<Gadi>
ryudo: still with the badly partitioned USB sticks?
08:46
<ryudo>
yes gadi
08:46
and i have new probleman
08:46Faithful has joined #ltsp
08:46
<Gadi>
ryudo: excellent - is now a good time to try and fix it?
08:46
<ryudo>
ohh gadi ltsp have many bugs :(
08:46
yes !
08:46
<Gadi>
one person's bug is another person's feature
08:46
:)
08:47
<ryudo>
gady my new probleman is:
08:47
<Gadi>
whats going on?
08:47
<ryudo>
when user reboot the terminal on opening session, after reboot the local devices dont work more
08:48
<Gadi>
meaning, they don't log out properly?
08:49
<ryudo>
no, the users push de reset button :(
08:49
<ogra>
with stale mountpoints usually plugging it a second time should work
08:49
<ryudo>
look this erros
08:49
<ogra>
reset button is very bad for various other things as well
08:49
<ryudo>
fusermount: failed to access mount point /tmp/.terminal05-ltspfs/floppy0: permission denied
08:50
Error: media terminal05 is not mounted
08:50
<ogra>
ideed
08:50
<ryudo>
Error: can't bindmount under /media/terminal05/floppy0: already mounted
08:50
<ogra>
make them propelry log out at least before they hit reset
08:50jernst has left #ltsp
08:51
<ogra>
just hitting reset will leave half the desktop running in the background as well
08:51
not only stale mountpoints
08:51
<Gadi>
ogra: would it be worth adding an rc.d script to ldm to do an ltspfsmounter cleanup all?
08:51
<ogra>
that will break in intresting other ways as well
08:51
<ryudo>
sure
08:51
<ogra>
Gadi, thast what it does
08:51
see the code ;)
08:51
<Gadi>
ogra: no, I mean on login
08:52
before any other mounts are created
08:52
<ogra>
hmm
08:52
not sure thats implementable in a clean way
08:52
similar to xterminator
08:52
<ryudo>
ogra i'm using auto login
08:52
<ogra>
very complex to catch all cases
08:52
<ryudo>
on logout the terminal log again :(
08:52
ehehe
08:52
<Gadi>
ogra: real clean: just a start script before delayed-mounter
08:53
<ogra>
ryudo, yeah, thast an ldm bug, it should get a timer before logging in again
08:54
<ryudo>
humm
08:54
<ogra>
autologin is still very young
08:55
i dont think scott regards every and any case yet
08:55
<ryudo>
and the terminals wich local devices wich stucked i need make logout for the local devices works ?
08:55
<Gadi>
ryudo: I would try this:
08:55
there is a directory /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/rc.d/
08:55
<ogra>
well, if the same user logs in again on that terminal just repluging the device should clean up
08:56
<Gadi>
in this directory, you can add scripts that run before/after the session
08:56
<ryudo>
floppy drive continues no works :(
08:56
<ogra>
(note that you need a uasre per terminal anyway, else nothing will work)
08:56
*user
08:56
<Gadi>
I would try adding a file called: 05ltspfscleanup
08:56
and in that file, put:
08:56
<ryudo>
i use an user per terminal
08:56
<ogra>
ok
08:56
<ryudo>
terminal01 temrinal 02 etc
08:57
<ogra>
its just important that the same user isnt logged in twoce
08:57
<ryudo>
17 terminals, 17 users
08:57
<ogra>
*twice
08:57
do waht gadi says
08:57
<Gadi>
ssh -X -S ${LDM_SOCKET} ${LDM_SERVER} "/usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter cleanup all"
08:57
<ogra>
ots a workaround
08:57
*its
08:58
<Gadi>
then, ltsp-update-image
08:58
and reboot the terminal
08:58Munkie has quit IRC
08:58
<ryudo>
this fix local device stuck problemans ?
08:58
<ogra>
it works around the issue
08:58
<Gadi>
yes
08:59
<ryudo>
i try it gadi
08:59* Gadi reflects on how nobody pays him any attention :)
08:59
<ryudo>
wait for me ehehe
08:59
<ogra>
yuo should probably use 06
08:59
instead of 05
08:59
to be sure the token is actually set
08:59
<ryudo>
ok
08:59
<Gadi>
ah, yes
08:59
S06....
08:59
<ryudo>
06ltspfscleanup
09:00
<Gadi>
right
09:00
<ogra>
and not more than 10 else you wipe the floppy that delayed-mounter creates :)
09:00
<warren>
ogra, what package contains mkelfimage?
09:00
<Gadi>
S06ltspfscleanup
09:00
(you need the S)
09:00
<ogra>
warren, iirc its got its own package
09:00
so mkelfimage
09:00
<ryudo>
ok !
09:00
<warren>
ogra, is there an upstream project?
09:01
<ogra>
for sure ...
09:01
<warren>
ogra, there is something wrong with Edubuntu's ISO's that they don't work for CD boot in qemu.
09:01
<ogra>
warren, recent builds ?
09:01
<warren>
ogra, tried 7.10
09:01
<ogra>
hmm
09:01
works fine in vbox and vmware
09:02
i must admit i didnt test qemu
09:02
<warren>
all I know is that fedora's ISO's work in qemu but not edubuntu
09:02
<ryudo>
gadi on directory ldm dont have this directory rc.d
09:02
<ogra>
hmm
09:02
<ryudo>
on themes directory
09:02
<ogra>
to be honest i dont really care since the edubuntu CD will die soon anyway and i cant change gutsy anymore
09:02
<warren>
ogra, qemu-kvm being the upstream kernel standard for virtualization, might want to test it out before your next release.
09:02
<Gadi>
ryudo: should be: /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/rc.d
09:02
<warren>
ogra, CD will die?
09:02
<Gadi>
thats not there?
09:03
ryudo: what distro?
09:03
<ogra>
warren, edubuntu becomes an addon to ubuntu
09:03
the edubuntu specific install disk will vanish
09:03
<ryudo>
no
09:03
<warren>
ogra, ah
09:03
<ryudo>
only themes directory
09:03
ubuntu feisty 7.04
09:03
<ogra>
the ltsp bits moved to the stadard ubuntu CD yesterday
09:04
that gives me a lot more space for edu apps
09:04
since i dont have to carry system and desktop anymore
09:04
<ryudo>
i crete the directory rc.d ?
09:04
gadi
09:04
<ogra>
and ltsp finally gets the right treatment it deserves :)
09:05
<Gadi>
ryudo: ah, feisty is a different story
09:05
<ryudo>
oh my god more bugs
09:05
:(
09:05
<Gadi>
no, just older ldm
09:05
:)
09:05
<ryudo>
my ldm is the modifiqued ldm wich autologin suporte em directx conections
09:05
<Gadi>
right
09:06
<ogra>
warren, ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/mkelfImage
09:06
sorry took a while, Qfunk has hideden it in the package :)
09:06
*hidden

09:20
ogra, some changes might be controversial so we'll need to discuss them later.

<cyberorg>
warren, i used vmware for that
09:24
<warren>
cyberorg, I really rather not run vmware here
09:24
cyberorg, I try to avoid tainting my kernel
09:24
<PerfDave>
Use Xen?
09:25
<cyberorg>
warren, :) try virtualbox, i also got the img file and then loop mounted it on suse
09:25
ltsp nbd image
09:25
<warren>
PerfDave, that requires booting an entirely different host kernel
09:25
<cyberorg>
warren, VirtualBox doesnt
09:26
<warren>
I know
09:26
we don't have virtualbox packaged in fedora yet
09:28
<cyberorg>
warren, get the one from their website
09:33
<warren>
cyberorg, does virtualbox require a kernel module?
09:34shogunx has joined #ltsp
09:34
<cyberorg>
warren, yeah
09:35
<warren>
cyberorg, yuck
09:35
cyberorg, for that reason alone it might not be possible to include into fedora
09:35shogunx has joined #ltsp
09:36
<warren>
cyberorg, we're not likely to include non-upstream kernel modules, and we have a ban on out-of-tree kernel modules now.
09:36quarsaw has joined #ltsp
09:36
<warren>
cyberorg, (this policy has forced many projects to play by upstream rules and get included)
09:36
<cyberorg>
warren, i think virtualbox is open source
09:37
<warren>
cyberorg, but not in the upstream kernel
09:37
cyberorg, Fedora has a strict policy against such kernel modules
09:37
cyberorg, we include a few non-upstream kernel modules into fedora if they are at least heading toward upstream
09:38
<PerfDave>
Xen is free software and in Debian kernels, which makes my life easier.
09:38
<cliebow>
ogra: will dhcp pass option 128 and DPORT=1001 to use alternate dhcp now?
09:39mattwalston has joined #ltsp
09:39
<mattwalston>
What is the lts.conf directive to set SWCursor?
09:39
<warren>
PerfDave, all Debian kernels are xen hosts now?
09:40
all Fedora kernels are xen guests, but you need to install kernel-xen for xen host
09:40
leaving for airport...
09:40
<cliebow>
ohh fun...
09:41
<Gadi>
mattwalston: if you are using LTSP5, try: X_OPTION_01 = "SWCursor"
09:42* Gadi recently noticed that ogra must have changed it from X_DEVICE_OPTION_01
09:42
<PerfDave>
warren: "aptitude install linux-image-2.6-$subarch-xen"

we can add something so it recognizes both

<Gadi>
X_OPTION_01 = "\"SWCursor\""
09:58
<ogra>
times are changing, so are vars :)
09:58

ryudo: in feisty, you can edit /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ldm, as it is python
09:59
you can try adding ato the ssh command something that executes: ltspfsmounter cleanup all *before* the call to Xsession

otavio: #454478: ltspfsd should not recommends ldm, #415460: ltspfs: usbfloppy support, and the ldm hooks you fixed up yesterday (should we just upload a new ldm at the same time, or should we put that off till another release?), and the weird "while read" bug that causes only the first ltspfs device found to actually get mounted
12:44
i was planning on finding a usb floppy to test at freegeek today, and i think we can probably get that working
12:45
i don't know weather i should send my "while read" bug upstream or not ... guess i should post to ltsp-developer and ask about it
12:45
maybe include it as a patch for now
12:46
and i have mixed feelings on the recommends issue (i appear to disagree with ogra, otavio and mariodebian(the submitted) about creating a new binary package
12:49
i'd prefer to just lower the recommends to a suggests
12:49
at least for the short term

i think we ldm we can just upload a debian revision which doesn't install the scripts, rather than a new .tar.gz
13:11
<otavio>
vagrantc: sure.
13:11
vagrantc: I think it's the nice first step
13:11
vagrantc: and start to clean it up
13:13
<vagrantc>
almost all of the pkg-ltsp packages need a few manpages
13:15BadMagic has quit IRC
13:16
<vagrantc>
otavio: we could also consider the patch for KDE icons, but that may be more work than i want to do at this moment
13:16
otavio: i think the patch was against an older version
13:18
<otavio>
vagrantc: I prefer small steps
13:19

otavio: do you think ldm should be priority "extra" or priority "optional"?
13:23
otavio: the new upload was done with "optional", but when it was part of ltsp source it was "extra" ... it's hard to decide for me- i could see it either way
13:25sepski has joined #ltsp
13:25
<vagrantc>
i guess ldm probably fits the "extra" definition

are only

likely to be useful if you already know what they are or have

specialized requirements.

but i need insert an script ?

Ryudo: what linux distro and ltsp version are you running?
13:48
<Ryudo>
ubuntu feisty LTSP5
13:48
wich all updates
13:48
<vagrantc>
ok...
13:49
Ryudo: see if it's available in feisty: grep X_RAMPERC /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/ldm
13:49
if not, you'll have to patch it
13:49
<Ryudo>
did you have the patch ?
13:49
<vagrantc>
no
13:50
it's possible to make one, but i thought it was in feisty
13:50
so check first
13:50
<Ryudo>
ok i will check
13:50
i need other question
13:50
i dont understand the ltsp proposite
13:51
<vagrantc>
proposite ?
13:51
<Ryudo>
i need powerfulls terminals for run openoffice+firefox ?!
13:51
<vagrantc>
mostly just a powerful server
13:51
<johnny>
mostly.. :)
13:51
<Ryudo>
i have one Atlhon 3700+ 2 GB DDR
13:52
and Cleron 333 Mhz + 64 MB in terminals
13:52
<vagrantc>
shouldn't be too bad.
13:52
you *might* want to enable NBD_SWAP
13:52
<Ryudo>
i enable that
13:52
SIZE=256
13:52
but the firefox pixmaps bug are freeze my temrinals
13:52
<vagrantc>
well, i've got a game of go to play... see y'all later :)
13:52
<johnny>
try firefox3 ...
13:52
<vagrantc>
ah, yes. firefox is evil.
13:53
<johnny>
firefox 3 is a bit better
13:53
<Ryudo>
and the openoffice freeze too !
13:53
:(
13:54
For better performance must improve the server or add more memory to terminals?

13:58
<Ryudo>
i have a 2 switchs 3 com 10/100
14:01
<sutula>
Ryudo: I don't think anyone here can answer based on looking at a hardware description, though some here are quite insightful. :) It would still be a guess. You probably need to investigate to find out what is limiting.
14:02
e.g., is the server swapping a lot, high CPU utilization, maxing out the network bandwidth, clients swapping, etc.
14:02MeBadMagic is now known as BadMagic
14:02
<Ryudo>
hum i look that
14:03
Nbd swap burdens to the server?
14:03
<johnny>
yes
14:04
<sutula>
It sure would slow down the client :)
14:05Guaraldo has left #ltsp
14:06
<sutula>
Ryudo: Having it on isn't bad...it might be good to make better use of the client's RAM. The client can keep seldom-used stuff there. But if it's being changed constantly during operation, that would be a bottleneck.
