<vagrantc>
Ryan52: there should be a ltsp hackfest at freegeek on the 9th and 10th
00:48* johnny wishes he could come
00:48
<vagrantc>
sounds like there will be gentoo, debian and fedora folks there
00:48
<johnny>
altho i doubt i'd be much help yet
00:48
<Ryan52>
I know about Fedora too.
00:48* Ryan52 is scared of gentoo
00:48
<vagrantc>
heh
00:49
well, fedora folk have been working hard on getting ltsp5 going... and gentoo just needs to get a little kickstart
00:49
<dberkholz>
fedora people are gonna make it too?
00:49
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: eric harrison said he'll be there
00:50
<dberkholz>
vagrantc: btw, got any interest in joining up with an X hackfest the same day?
00:50
i just got an email about one on the 9th
00:50
<Ryan52>
what time is the ltsp hackfest?
00:50
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: i'm more free on sunday than saturday
00:50
dberkholz: you know, we didn't really discuss times ... :)
00:51
<dberkholz>
vagrantc: oh, i'll probably leave here around 10, get there in time to kick things off with lunch around noon, and go till late.
00:52
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: ok ... i've got commitments from 11-12 and 1-2 and 3-7 ... but all of those are somewhat flexible
00:52
dberkholz: in that i'm largely covering for other folks if they don't show
00:52* johnny wants to come to freegeek
00:52
<johnny>
one day..
00:53
<dberkholz>
vagrantc: hmm. do you have time to get me set up during those commitments, or should i show up in a free time?
00:53
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: probably won't know for sure till 10:45 or so
00:54
<dberkholz>
vagrantc: ok. so what would you recommend i do?
00:55
<johnny>
dberkholz, coffeeshop? :)
00:55
if you need me for any sort of testing, lemme know
00:55
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: shouldn't take too much to get you set up ... i'magine we can just manage ...
00:56
dberkholz: the 11-12 is just a backup for teaching a basic commandline class :)
00:56
<dberkholz>
exciting!
00:56
vagrantc: yeah. pretty much just point me to wherever the computer is, and the plugins, and i'm good to go.
00:56
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: heh :)
00:57
dberkholz: freegeek opens at 11, but if you think you might show up before then, i can get you in ... maybe i'll just show up early and get you a diskless terminal all set up and ready to go
00:58
<dberkholz>
vagrantc: hmm. i could probably manage 10:30 or so.
00:58
it's ~1:30 drive time
00:59
<vagrantc>
dberkholz: that'd work pretty good if you don't mind starting a little earlier
00:59
<dberkholz>
should be ok
00:59
i'll just have to get to sleep by midnight friday
01:00
<vagrantc>
heh
01:02
Ryan52: so, the main C projects ltsp has right now are ... ldm, ltspfs and there's a little utility called jetpipe ... ltspfs is in decent shape... ldm could certainly use some care and feeding
01:03
<Ryan52>
okay...
01:03
what languages are the other stuff written in?
01:04
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: a bit of python, a fair amount of shell
01:04
<Ryan52>
okay

busy
05:32
they switched completely from a customized mozilla based app to the same thing on firefox
05:33
indeed that crap was written 1000 years ago
05:33
so porting it is a real challenge, he was scared of that since some time :)

13:14
<Guaraldo>
hey, jammcq...
13:14
jammcq: How are you?
13:15
jammcq: Are you comming to fisl9?
13:16* vagrantc wonders why the pt_BR translation for ltsp is broken
13:17
<jammcq>
Guaraldo: yep, I'm definately planning on being there
13:22
<vagrantc>
warren: any objection to my patch for the autologin support? i'm guessing it doesn't really affect you much, since the main issue is that it broke compatibility with previous versions
13:26whizzer has left #ltsp
13:26
<warren>
vagrantc, just go for it
13:26* vagrantc was mainly waiting on ogra, since it broke compatibility
13:27
<warren>
vagrantc, shouldn't we branch for "past stable" with a number and use HEAD for devel, things that WILL break back compat?
13:27
<Gadi>
vagrantc: saw ur patch wrt autologin - looks good
13:27
<vagrantc>
Gadi: :)
13:27
<warren>
declare a ldm-VERSIONNUMBER and make it its own branch.
13:28
<vagrantc>
warren: yes. since there hasn't been a real release of ldm yet ...
13:28
<Gadi>
vagrantc: I have a few more on my list - can I review before spending too much time?
13:28
<vagrantc>
warren: although, really would be better with tags...
13:28
<warren>
vagrantc, wouldn't be too bad with branches
13:28
<vagrantc>
Gadi: a few more patches?
13:28
<Gadi>
yeah, hacking ldm is next on my list of todos
13:28
<vagrantc>
warren: but tags are more immutable than branches ... someone could come along an muck up a branch.
13:28
<Guaraldo>
jammcq: Will you present a talk?
13:28
<warren>
vagrantc, ldm-0.1 branch can maintain compat with the current stuff. Versioned releases from there could be ldm-0.1.Y.
13:29
vagrantc, why not use both tags and branches?
13:29
<vagrantc>
warren: maintaining it in two separate places gets us ... ?
13:29
warren: or you mean concurrent development branches ...
13:29
<warren>
vagrantc, yes
13:29
<Guaraldo>
jammcq: If you want I can put you on invited speakers...
13:30
<warren>
vagrantc, sometimes you want to backport stuff to the ldm-0.1 series
13:30
<vagrantc>
warren: ah, sure. when it comes to that. seeing as we don't have any real releases yet ...
13:30
<warren>
just copy ldm-trunk to ldm-0.1 and then we are unrestricted to do crazy shit in ldm-trunk
13:30
ldm-0.1 can be for backports of things that don't break compat
13:31
vagrantc, I especially need this because I will be doing compat breaking things in the coming 2 months
13:31
<vagrantc>
warren: i understand what you are saying, however there is no ldm 0.1 release yet.
13:31staffencasa has quit IRC
13:32
<Gadi>
my list so far includes: 1. not restarting X on failed attempt (but rather return to greeter) 2. add a timeout to the nc call in screen.d/ldm (handles remote servers better) 3. use src/get_ip.c code within greeter for getting IP, so it is not hardcoded to eth0
13:32
<warren>
vagrantc, there doesn't have to be a release to branch it
13:32
vagrantc, ldm-0.1 branch is understood to be "changes that don't break compat"
13:32
vagrantc, I don't particularly care what happens in that branch personally
13:33
vagrantc, I personally will branch ldm-0.2 at some point after I've reached my ldm goals for Fedora 9
13:33
<vagrantc>
warren: i think the topic of releases needs to be discussed... probably best on ltsp-developer
13:33
<warren>
vagrantc, yeah...
13:33
<vagrantc>
it's already bad enough between ubuntu and debian
13:34
<Q-FUNK>
warren: I was at Solutions Linux in Paris, this week and bumped into the CEO of Red Hat France. He's looking forward to adding your LTSP port to his portfolio of enterprise solutions.
13:35makghosh has joined #ltsp
13:36* vagrantc impatiently awaits the mips and mipsel buildd's for ldm builds
13:38
<Gadi>
vagrantc: any thoughts on the above?
13:38
(while u wait) :)
13:39
<vagrantc>
Gadi: all sounds good to me
13:39
<warren>
Q-FUNK, everyone tells me that, but nobody is giving me resources =)
13:39
<Gadi>
cool
13:39
<vagrantc>
i have one remaining feature request ... an optional "Guest Login" button. that basically does the same thing as autologin, but gives an opportunity for a specified user to log in.
13:40
<Gadi>
specified user?
13:40
ah, I know what u mean
13:40
<vagrantc>
i.e. i log in as "vagrant" ... but if someone clicks the "Guest Login" button, it logs them in much like the way autologin works
13:41* Gadi nods
13:41
<Gadi>
"so may it be written..."
13:41
<vagrantc>
i should also figure out how to have auto/guest logins go to a different server than named logins
13:42
and then freegeek can ditch ldm! :)
13:42
er
13:42
sdm!
13:42
<Gadi>
also, a failed autologin should return to a greeter with the guest login option
13:42
<vagrantc>
indeed.
13:42
but the guest login option should only show a button if the feature is enabled, of course ...
13:43
<Gadi>
right
13:43
LDM_AUTOLOGIN_SERVER
13:43
:)
13:43
<vagrantc>
yeah ...
13:43
i'll look at the code and see if i can't slip it in easily
13:43
the "Guest Login" button feature request is a little more intrusive, i think.
13:43* Gadi hopes the whole X restarting thing doesnt require major surgery, as well
13:44
<vagrantc>
oh, and handling bad passwords better...
13:44
<Q-FUNK>
warren: after the pep talk I did and showing him how every other distro in the show is going for it, things might change.
13:44* Gadi sets /etc/ssh/ssh_config NumberPasswordPrompts 1
13:45
<Gadi>
works nicely except all of X restarts if you get it wrong
13:45
:P
13:47
<vagrantc>
i've had situations where it doesn't restart, but freezes ...
13:49staffencasa has joined #ltsp

13:53
<Gadi>
quick question: with the new upstream branches, what are the steps to making a deb pkg?
13:54
<vagrantc>
Gadi: check out the *-trunk, check out the relevent *-packaging branch as the debian dir
13:55
<Gadi>
do I need mkdst?
13:55
<vagrantc>
Gadi: oh yeah, if you don't use mkdst ... you'll need to run ./autogen.sh
13:56
Gadi: for quick patching, mkdst is maybe overkill
13:56Guaraldo has left #ltsp
13:56
<Gadi>
hmm... i dont see *-packaging branches
13:57* vagrantc knows where the debian ones are
13:57* Gadi must be doing something wrong
13:58
<warren>
vagrantc, branching ldm-0.1 would be of benefit to me because maybe next week I will be thinking about compat breaking changes.
13:58
gotta go for now
13:58
<vagrantc>
warren: i fully understand that

ok, so now i just need to understand how greeter_iface.c and the gtkgreeter interact ... and figure out how to (conditionally) draw a "guest login" button
15:52
<stgraber>
vagrantc: if that's GTK, you can just draw it by default, then play with hide() and show()
15:53
<vagrantc>
stgraber: it is gtk, but it's a good deal over my head at the moment :)
15:53
i don't even understand how src/ldm.c, src/greeter_iface.c and gtkgreet/greeter.c interact yet

vagrantc: How did you set up the client with you're virtualbox?
18:13
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: i set the server to use two network cards, one using NAT, and one using the internal network ...
18:13
Ryan52: and then i connected the thin-client to the internal network
18:14
Ryan52: and configured the card with the internal network to do dhcp and such
18:14
<Ryan52>
okay
18:14
did you figure out the gtk stuff?
18:14
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: and set it to network boot by default
18:14
Ryan52: no, i look at it and my head spins :)
18:14
<Ryan52>
If not I want to do it. (once I get my stuff setup)
18:14
I'll do it then.
18:14
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: sounds great :)
18:15
Ryan52: i was able to test that my idea for leaving the autologin code where it is can work ...
18:16
Ryan52: by splitting the autologin code into a separate if statement, and in the code block where the greeter is handled, setting autologin to True
18:16
Ryan52: so just need to figure out how to get the greeter to be able to tell it to set autologin to true
18:17
<Ryan52>
I don't understand what your saying...
18:17
ohh
18:17
<vagrantc>
to get the "guest login" button working
18:18
<ltsppbot>
"vagrantc" pasted "crude autologin test patch" (17 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/434
18:18

Ryan52: that patch is against the current ldm-trunk branch

man, every channel has a bot...

there's two in #ltsp :)

vagrantc: When I am testing new code for ldm, I should have the ltsp server have debian sid and the ltsp package built from the latest bzr source, right?
22:00
or should I use the debian package from sid?
22:00
or is there a difference?

Ryan52: the ltsp and ltspfs packages in sid should work with ldm from bzr
22:01
<Ryan52>
okay
22:01
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: so you should only need to rebuild ldm

22:29
how to enable print on ltsp 5
22:32
<vagrantc>
sickonnet: which linux distro?
22:33
<sickonnet>
ubuntu gutsy
22:34
<vagrantc>
sickonnet: so, you have a printer attached to your thin-client and you want to print to it?
22:34
<sickonnet>
yes
22:35
it seems port 9100 on that thin client
22:36
not open
22:36guillaume has joined #ltsp
22:36
<sickonnet>
is there any configuration i miss?
22:36
<vagrantc>
have you set PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/DEVICENAME where DEVICENAME is the name of your printer device?
22:37
<sickonnet>
yes i try add new lts.conf on /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/
22:37
<guillaume>
is the chroot apt-get upgrade only broken in edubuntu?
22:37
<sickonnet>
with that setting
22:38
<vagrantc>
guillaume: you also have to run ltsp-update-image after modifying the chroot
22:38
that;s why lts.conf was moved outside of the chroot
22:38
<guillaume>
i did
22:38
<vagrantc>
guillaume: so, how does it break?
22:39
<guillaume>
but the upgrade whithin the chroot seems to try to update kernels from wich is nonsense
22:39
from within
22:39
<vagrantc>
what do you mean?
22:39
<guillaume>
1 sec
22:39
<vagrantc>
it's supposed to upgrade whatever is in the chroot
22:39
and the chroot is where the kernels are built
22:40
well, not built ... installed ... it's where the initramfs image is built
22:40
<guillaume>
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/188223
22:40
I submitted that earlier today
22:40
i got 2 servers here and both do that now
22:41
<vagrantc>
ah, yes. apparently that's a bug that wasn't fixed for gutsy. i fixed it in debian sid a while back.
22:42
<sickonnet>
vagrantc
22:42
is there any other options?
22:43
<guillaume>
for that reason apt-get install is broken too and i cant get git-core installed to install latest amd drivers for my geode lx800
22:43
<vagrantc>
guillaume: to work around it, you just hae to move aside the nbi.img-* files and try to upgrade the chroot again ... maybe an apt-get -f install in the chroot first
22:44
<sickonnet>
btw vagrantc befroe i can chroot to ltsp image then passwd (for debug check ltsp client)
22:44
<vagrantc>
sickonnet: sorry, i'm not very familiar with printer support ... that's about all i know
22:44
<sickonnet>
right now using this version i can't
22:44
:(
22:44
<vagrantc>
sickonnet: SCREEN_XX=shell, where XX is an unused tty
22:44
<guillaume>
when you say move aside , will a rm do the trick?
22:45
<vagrantc>
guillaume: rm or mv should work great
22:45
<guillaume>
lol ok
22:45
<vagrantc>
guillaume: but i usually say move aside, i.e. mv ... so that you can revert if something goes terribly wrong
22:46
<guillaume>
bah i reinstalled from scrached 4 times today
22:46
its a dev server
22:46
<vagrantc>
i never like to give advice that puts people in a worse position than they started :)
22:46
<guillaume>
sorry for my english im very tired here
22:47
do i only have to delete the ones in the chroot?
22:48
<vagrantc>
guillaume: yes, you only need to delete the ones in /opt/ltsp/*/boot/nbd-*
22:49
<sickonnet>
i knew again the point
22:49
jetpipe is DIED
22:50
thx for ur advice for SCREEN
22:50
<vagrantc>
guillaume: i added a couple comments to the bug report... basically the same things i told you
22:51
<guillaume>
did you meen nbi.img
22:51
ok thanx
22:53
<vagrantc>
guillaume: yes, nbi.img ... sorry :)

<Ryan52>
when I ran ltsp-build-client it got very far but gave errors when it tried to install the kernel. I fixed it manually. How can I make it resume where it was?

It worked!
23:27
vagrantc: What processor does your laptop have?
23:32
and how much ram do you have?
23:32
and what speed is it?
23:33Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp
23:54
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: because of the state of linux-latest-2.6 in sid, ltsp-build-client fails unless you tell it to use a specific kernel, or also give it mirrors pointing to lenny
23:55
<Ryan52>
ya, I figured that out.
23:55
I almost have a working ltsp setup.
23:55
I just need to figure out why it can't start a window manager...
23:56
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: you have a window manager installed on the server?
23:56
<Ryan52>
yes, icewm
23:56
originally it was ccomplaining that there was no .Xsession file, so I made it. Now it just restarts X.
23:57
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: does /etc/X11/Xsession exist? is it executable?
23:57
Ryan52: do you have ltsp-server-standalone installed, or jsut ltsp-server?
23:57
<Ryan52>
ltsp-server-standalone
23:57
<vagrantc>
ok...
23:58
Ryan52: regarding hardware specs... i regularly use virtualbox on my 866MHz with 512MB of ram.
23:58
<Ryan52>
...yikes...
23:58
<vagrantc>
Ryan52: i run my server with 160-256MB of ram, and the thin-client with 64MB ... typically lower the videoram to 1-2MB
23:59
clearly, a little more would help, but this is certainly useable.
23:59
Guil-T: did you want something?
