Ryan52: thanks for the "guest login" patch ...
00:49
<RyanRyan52>
vagrantc: Is there anything else you have for me to do?
00:51
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: well, i'll test out the patch some, and maybe have some questions later ...

okay

RyanRyan52: the autologin and ssh key thing i should mark as pending
01:25* johnny wonders if that ldm will make it into hardy ldm
01:25
<johnny>
then i can stop using this hacked up deb
01:28
<vagrantc>
johnny: the patches are pretty simple and it's a broken feature, so it should count as bugfixes.
01:28
johnny: but you'll have to ask ogra about it
01:28
<johnny>
isn't the guest autologin a new thing?
01:29
you added a button right?
01:31
<vagrantc>
ah, guest login seems like a bit more invasive of a patch- i doubt if ogra would go for that for hardy.
01:32
but regular autologin support was supposed to be in gutsy, it was just broken somewhere along the way.
01:33
<johnny>
is it going to be in unstable ?
01:33
<vagrantc>
i'll test the patch and hopeully upload it as soon as the current ldm hits debian testing/lenny
01:33
<johnny>
cool

hello
02:28
i'm new on dhcp, and i'm trying to install it
02:28
is there a way to use ltsp on 2 differents servers, i mean i've already got a tftp and dhcp server, what is the way to install it with this configuration ?
02:39
<johnny>
i suppose
02:40
there is a way
02:40
are you using debian/ubuntu ?
02:40
if so, don't use the standalone package
02:41
i know i don't use the package that pulls in dhcp
02:41
i just setup my own dhcp
02:41
and modified it to work with ltsp
02:44
<Pascal_1>
debian
02:44
only root-path ??
02:44
<johnny>
?
02:45
i ended up using dnsmasq for my setup , which has it's own dhcp and tftp
02:45
i don't know how to setup dhcpd and whatever tftp server you're using
02:45
but i'm sure you can figure that out
02:45
if you already have such systems running
02:45
just point them to where ltsp stuff is
02:46
<Pascal_1>
root-apth option in dhcp to make ltsp works

meh
06:49
<Pascal_1>
johnny, i made mistake in my question
06:50
the problem is i've already got dhcp server and tftp server on one machine, i would like to install a server for thin client, ltsp install everything and it's "ot intersting" for me
06:50
i would like to know how install ltsp without dhcp and tftp i dont find a tutorial
06:53ogra has quit IRC

<Pascal_1>
anybody could help to install ltsp in an architecture where a server (dhcp tftp) already exist ?
07:25
<cliebow_>
Pascal_1, is your dhcp capable of passing filename parameter?
07:25
<Pascal_1>
it does already
07:26
may be i could pastebin the configuration of the "existant"
07:28
cliebow_, ?
07:30
http://www.pastebin.ca/891198 here is how is configured my actual dhcp-tftp server
07:30
i would like to install ltsp on another machine and use the actual dhcp-tftp server
07:31
sorry for my french
07:31
my english
07:31
oups
07:31
i'm french
07:31

then i put a piece of my dhcpd.conf
07:41

07:41
and the default file
07:42
do you see something
07:42
what means brb ?
07:43
hmmm be right back

07:46
<Pascal_1>
for the moment the client can boot from the network download the "pxelinux.0" file then choose between local boot or "ghost" boot
07:46
what is the way to make possible to boot as thin client
07:46
what is the way to integrate ltsp on this architecture
07:47
<cliebow_>
Pascal_1, lets wait til ogra comes back
07:47
<Pascal_1>
ok
07:47
you he could help me ?
07:48
think
07:48
he doesnt answer before :-(
07:48
<cliebow_>
he wrote ltsp5
07:48
<Pascal_1>
huhuhu
07:48
<cliebow_>
with a little help from hoiis amis
07:48
<Pascal_1>
ok
07:48
ouhaou you speak french !!!!
07:49
you think my question is clear enough ?
07:51
<rjune_>
Pascal_1: You want to have your DHCP and TFTP server on one system, but the NFS and application server on another, yes?
07:51slidesinger has joined #ltsp
07:51
<Pascal_1>
rjune_, yes, and i want to use the existant server dhcp-tftp
07:52
<cliebow_>
rjune!!!
07:52
Pascal_1, what linux are you usign?
07:52
<Pascal_1>
my "production" dhcp-tftp server is mandriva
07:53
my test machine for ltsp is on debian
07:53
the dhcp-tftp server actually works fine
07:53
i've no problem on it
07:54ogra has joined #ltsp
07:54
<rjune_>
ogra: where do you specify NFSROOT for ltsp5?
07:55
and where do you specify the server users log into?
07:55
good morning too. :-)
07:55
<cliebow_>
rjune_:in gutsy you are using a squasfs image..
07:55
<ogra>
LDM_SERVER in lts.conf ... else it falls back to the bootserver ...
07:56
(which can be overridden by SERVER)
07:56
<rjune_>
Pascal_1: use LDM_SERVER = <SERVER_IP> in your lts.conf file.
07:56
<ogra>
if you use gutsy you need to set some extras if you want to turn back to nfs
07:56
there is a howto on the wki
07:56
<rjune_>
ah, I didn't know that.
07:56
<ogra>
*wiki
07:56
<Pascal_1>
then i can usit without install dhcp and tftp server
07:57
<rjune_>
Pascal_1: looks like you don't have an NFS server in ltsp5
07:57
you still need dhcp and tfpt
07:57
tftp
07:57
<Pascal_1>
yes i know that i've already these
07:57
<rjune_>
taking those out of the equation is a much larger step
07:58
<Pascal_1>
then i can use the nfsroot option in the default file ?
07:58
<rjune_>
you don't need nfsroot
07:58
that's kind of the point.
07:58
<Pascal_1>
sorry i'm little lost :-(
07:59
<rjune_>
ltsp5 apparently uses a ramdisk to store everything
07:59
<Pascal_1>
i dont understand everything you say
07:59
you mean ltsp5 dont use nfs at all ?
08:00
<ogra>
newer versions dont
08:04
bu you said you have problems with dhcp and tftp .... nfs isnt involved at all at this point
08:04
(nor is nbd which we use nowadays)
08:06
<Pascal_1>
ogra i think my question was not so clear
08:06* ogra curses ... why the heck did we never add a proper debug mode to ldm ... adding -vvv to the ssh call if DEBUG is set is really not such a big problem *sigh*
08:06
<Pascal_1>
i've no problem with dhcp and tftp
08:06
they already run on another machine
08:06
<ogra>
so it boots fine and drops you to a busybox shell ?
08:06
<Pascal_1>
yes
08:06
<ogra>
right
08:07
<Pascal_1>
my question was how to install ltsp using the existant server
08:07
<ogra>
try to specify nbdroot="$SERVERIP:2000" in your pxe config ...
08:07
that will tell the initranfs to connect the nbd client (used for the rootfs) to $SERVERIP on port 2000 (default for the nbdroot from the ltsp-server package)
08:08
<Pascal_1>
but i've got to install ltsp5 before, i was on older
08:08
<ogra>
ah, k
08:09
<Pascal_1>
hmmmm ;-)
08:09
then i come back after the installation
08:09
any way thank you everybody for your answers !!
08:09
<ogra>
to get ltsp without dhcp you need to install the ltsp-server package, the -standalone one expects dhcpd to run locally
08:09
<Pascal_1>
apt-get install ltsp-server ??
08:09
<ogra>
beyond that look for LTSPQuickInstall on help-ubuntu-com :)
08:10
err
08:10
s/-/./
08:10
right and sudo ltsp-build-client to set up the client env
08:10
<Pascal_1>
ok i begin like that and i come back for other questions ;-)
08:11joebaker has joined #ltsp
08:12
<Pascal_1>
ltsp-server is without dhcp and without tftp ?
08:12
<ogra>
without dhcp
08:13
it will set up tftp and you surely want to use the contents of /var/lib/tftpboot (even if you use a different tftp server)
08:13
the initramfs is generated on the fly in ltsp5 ... so you should always use the one under /var/lib/tftpboot
08:14
<Pascal_1>
ok i copy paste the tftpboot created by ltsp in my tftpboot
08:14
<ogra>
if you copy it to another machine or point your dhcpd to the ltsp server for it is up to you :)
08:14
<Pascal_1>
great !!
08:14
<ogra>
i would actually do the latter :) saves a lot of copying around
08:15
(next-server is the dhcpd.conf option you need to set to the server ip for that, in case you dont know)
08:15Gadi has joined #ltsp
08:15* ogra curses ldm again
08:16
<ogra>
Gadi, hey
08:16
<Gadi>
gutentag
08:16
rough day?
08:16
<ogra>
did you ever note that despite setting LDM_DIRECTX in gutsy the X traffic was still tunneled ?
08:16
scott never excluded -X from the commandline even though he sets DISPLAY
08:16
<Gadi>
?
08:17
<Pascal_1>
ogra i pastebin my conf of my current server here : http://pastebot.ltsp.org/439
08:17
<Gadi>
lol
08:17
really?
08:17
<ogra>
yeah
08:17
<Gadi>
hmm - well, DISPLAY should trump -X
08:17
it should still be direct
08:17
<ogra>
i'm just working on the consolekit integration and it always pointed to localhost:10 even with DIRECTX
08:18
<Gadi>
but how, if he sets DISPLAY?
08:18
-X resets it?
08:18
<ogra>
consolekit asks the login app first
08:18
there is no child executed at this point
08:19
<Gadi>
well, thats a major bug
08:19
lots of lil buggies in gutsy ldm
08:19
<ogra>
so ssh sets DISPLAY, then the shell is executed to run Xsession with DISPLAY set
08:19
<Gadi>
a bit too gutsy, perhaps
08:19
:)
08:19
<ogra>
where both DISPLAY values differ indeed
08:20
anyway, thanks to colin i have proper consolekit settings in ldm now ... just that the env vars arent set :/ and we dont have a proper debug mode in ldm ... setting -vvv if DEBUG is set should be the least :/
08:21* ogra is no friend of the C ldm ... i'm getting tired of recompiling all the time
08:22
<joebaker>
I didn't think the move to C was such a hot idea.
08:22
<ogra>
speedwise and sizewise it was necessary ... sadly
08:22
<joebaker>
Yes, the boot times seemed to be getting longer at 7.04.
08:23
<ogra>
right
08:23
<joebaker>
I havn't seen a 7.10 boot yet.
08:23
<ogra>
7.10 was the release to solve that
08:23
<joebaker>
Hopefully tonight at our LUG meeting we'll get it working.
08:23
<ogra>
its about three times faster
08:25
nfs slowness is gone due to a nbd/squashfs/unionfs filesystem stack now ... X configuration slowness is gone due to completely leaving the configuration in Xorg's hands instead of using debconf and ldm slowness is fixed through the C implementation
08:25
these were the major slowdowns ...
08:26
<joebaker>
I see. It would be useful to cache the resulting X configuration for future use. Maybe a checksum of lspci results could be the key that retrieves the X Configurations.
08:28
<ogra>
x configuration is breezingly fast now ... and shouldnt even be needed at all in hard+1 anymore
08:28
(i could drop it in hardy but dont have time to do the hal integration needed for input device handling with the new configless X )
08:28
s/drop it in/drop it into/
08:29* Gadi does not believe in configless X
08:30Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp
08:31
<joebaker>
I'm looking for work these days.
08:32
<ogra>
Gadi, it works since gutsy already ... CONFIGURE_X=False will leave you run ltsp without xorg.conf at all
08:32
as long as you dont have to handle non us keymaps and input devices != /dev/input/mouse it will just work fine
08:33
<Q-FUNK>
hm
08:33
<ogra>
well, apart from one or the other buggy driver ... indeed
08:36* ogra wonders if anyone noticed that the mythbuntu team wrote a mythbuntu-diskless client patch and package for ubuntu :)
08:36
<ogra>
yay for diskless media kiosks :)
08:38
<joebaker>
ogra: It would be nice if the new i386 LTSP server could handle ppc clients. You mentioned before that a PPC server would be needed to get things ready for the PPC client. Maybe we could use qemu to emulate the ppc server to prepare for the clients.
08:38
<ogra>
joebaker, last time i tried that (around edgy) qemu wasnt ready for that
08:39
but things might have changed ....
08:39
<Gadi>
ogra: I know - I meant in general - I dont believe configless X will ever be bulletproof enough to drop the ability to have a config
08:39
<ogra>
Gadi, well, i agree that there shold be a possibility to override the defaults ...
08:39
<Gadi>
heck, I'd be happy if X could keep their code stable enough to have working video drivers :P
08:39
<ogra>
i disagree on a config file though
08:40
having interfaces sitting in sysfs that react on the fly shold be the way to go
08:40
<Gadi>
well, now ur talking nuance
08:40
:)
08:41
btw, have u tried our configure-x.sh with dual monitors?
08:41* Gadi wonders how it works
08:42
<ogra>
nope
08:42
i dont have a client with second graphics card here
08:43
the t150 and 170 have pci sockets but i dont have the needed riser card
08:43* Gadi wonders if X -configure handles that
08:43
<ogra>
i doubt it
08:43
<Gadi>
I wouldnt be surprised if it puts in the sections
08:43
<ogra>
that supposed to be handled by xrandr afaik
08:43
<Gadi>
but not the layout
08:43
u know, we had dual monitor support in LTSP 4.2 :)
08:44
<ogra>
we have it in ltsp5 since the beginning if you use a static xorg.conf :P

and no
09:17
<cliebow_>
i Never did..but durn thing wont work without that now

nah, I havent gone too deeply - I use it on a much smaller scale
09:18
would love to learnn how to play with folder redirection someday

it seemed an awful obscure thing to be so important

If you don't mind I'm going to link to your wiki from mine (lns.wikidot.org) and possibly steal some info from it. Can you possibly put a license page on your wiki to reflect the Ubuntu wiki, so we can all share information between us?

<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: tested your patch, works great! :)
17:41
RyanRyan52: a couple smallish critiques ... there were a number of stray tabs at the end of a number of lines ... and there were a few places where tabs were used instead of spaces ...
17:42
<dberkholz>
<3 tabs
17:43
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: the other issue is LDM_AUTOLOGIN_SERVER disappeared and was replaced with LDM_GUEST_SERVER ... not sure how we want to deal with that, but it changes the previous behavior of autologin a little.
17:43
tabs out of love is one thing...
17:45
RyanRyan52: i guess LDM_AUTOLOGIN_SERVER was only recently introduced, so maybe it's not a big deal ... not sure if there's a situation in which we'd want a different default for guest login and a different for autologin

RyanRyan52: http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/ltsp/features/ldm-guest-login/
18:13
RyanRyan52: that's a bzr branch
18:16cliebow has joined #ltsp
18:28
<RyanRyan52>
I tried to get all the tabs out...
18:28
Really bad habbit that I'm trying to stop
18:30
Why did you make a bzr branch?
18:33joebaker has joined #ltsp
18:35
<RyanRyan52>
and changing the LDM_AUTOLOGIN_SERVER to LDM_GUEST_SERVER was just that it makes more sense imho since its used for autologin and guest (and autologin is also guest...).
18:44
vagrantc: Why did you make a bzr branch?
18:55
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: because i was cleaning up the tab issues
18:55
RyanRyan52: and thinking about how to fix things
18:56
RyanRyan52: yeah, i've got mixed feelings on LDM_GUEST_SERVER vs. LDM_AUTOLOGIN_SERVER ...
18:57
since LDM_AUTOLOGIN_SERVER isn't actually in use, maybe it's fine.
18:57
RyanRyan52: i also made a bzr branch because i'm not sure it's ready for upstream, but demonstrates a working concept
18:58
<RyanRyan52>
what should be changed? cause I'll do the changes..
18:59
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: while the @GUEST@ passing as the username works, it feels kind of hackish ...
19:00
RyanRyan52: you did that so we wouldn't have to re-write the gtkgreeter ?
19:00
<RyanRyan52>
ya...I can do it without rewriteing gtkgreeter.
19:01
I'll do that.
19:01
<vagrantc>
well, we have to re-write the greeter to get the "guest login" button ...
19:02
<RyanRyan52>
ya...do you want me to fix it?
19:03
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: i'm also thinking we wouldn't need to introduce the ldminfo.userisguest ... could just have it set ldminfo.autologin if the guest login button is pressed ... i think i can get that going
19:04
<RyanRyan52>
that makes sense. Do you want me to change it to not do the @GUEST@ thing though?
19:05
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: how much re-writing to not do the @GUEST@ thing?
19:07
<RyanRyan52>
have it write 2 lines if not guest "notguest" and then the actual user name. have it write "guest" if it is guest and only have ldm expect 1 if it says guest.
19:07
so not much
19:09
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: ok, so branch off: http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/ltsp/features/ldm-guest-login/
19:09
<RyanRyan52>
okay
19:09
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: and either publish a new branch, or make a patch based on that
19:10
RyanRyan52: i'm heading out... i'll be around tomorrow
19:10
<RyanRyan52>
okay
19:10
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: thanks for you work on this :)
19:12
<RyanRyan52>
vagrantc: oh
19:12
vagrantc: we do need userisguest
19:12
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: yeah, i just committed a patch that ditches userisguest
19:12
<RyanRyan52>
vagrantc: cause if somebody sets LDM_AUTOLOGIN then it will always be guest
19:13
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: exactly
19:13
<RyanRyan52>
vagrantc: cause if somebody sets LDM_AUTOLOGIN and LDM_ALLOW_GUEST then it will always be guest
19:13
so that makes it ask if you want to log in as a user or guest, but always logs you in as guest
19:14
<vagrantc>
?
19:14
<RyanRyan52>
even if you do specify a username and password
19:14
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: if LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True, then it skips all the greeter code entirely
19:15
<RyanRyan52>
oh...ya...ooops...
19:15
<vagrantc>
RyanRyan52: i haven't tested it, but i think my latest patch should work.
19:15
RyanRyan52: or at least, is close to working :)
19:16
it doesn't ditch @GUEST@, but it ditches ldminfo.userisguest
19:16* RyanRyan52 is sick today...usually Ryan52 is not as smart when I'm sick...
19:16
<RyanRyan52>
oaky
19:17
<vagrantc>
we just need a way for the greeter to say "do a guest login", and then set ldminfo.autologin=TRUE;
19:17
eeyk. gotta run! :)

Anybody care to help with an Edubuntu 7.10 system that was installed as kubuntu 7.04 and upgraded?
23:02
I have a problem with LTSP on it.
23:03
Thin Client booting PXE is reporting dhcp information with an invalid "rootserver" and empty rootpath argument.

Does the Muekow from 7.10 of ubuntu systems use NFS at all durring the bootup process?

YES! I got it working! The DSL router had DHCP enabled.
23:11
I had to turn it off.
