| 00:32 | <johnny> dberkholz, atm it seems that ldm needs at least one patch for gentoo
| |
| 00:32 | it can be worked around by using LDM_SESSION in lts.conf tho
| |
| 00:33 | <AzMoo> Hey, how much bandwidth does LTSP generally use?
| |
| 00:33 | <johnny> bandwidth hasn't been the problem for me so far.. so i haven't checked :)
| |
| 00:34 | chup has joined #ltsp | |
| 00:35 | <AzMoo> I was hoping for WAN usage, but I just tested it with one of our guys interstate and it was incredibly slow and maxing out their 512kbps connection :
| |
| 00:35 | I'm just wondering how far we'd have to upgrade them.
| |
| 00:36 | <johnny> at that point..you should do more webapp stuff..
| |
| 00:36 | freenx is an alternative
| |
| 00:36 | would be cool to have that in ltsp.
| |
| 00:36 | chupa has quit IRC | |
| 00:37 | <dberkholz> pretty sure it has been used in ltsp
| |
| 00:37 | <AzMoo> Is freenx another network boot thing?
| |
| 00:38 | nm, found the web page ;)

| 01:02 | <johnny> dberkholz, i am confused
| |
| 01:02 | i can run startx in the chroot and have no config file
| |
| 01:03 | but when configure-x.sh does Xorg -configure -novtswitch :1 it fails hard
| |
| 01:04 | i'm trying to investigate using a real machine, but my laptop fails to find the pxe default config
| |
| 01:04 | while the vm fines it quite easily
| |
| 01:04 | finds*

| 04:18 | <laga> johnny: then create a bootable pen drive which contains the kernel + initrd for your laptop
| |
| 04:19 | captain_magnus has joined #ltsp | |
| 04:19 | <johnny> laga, i suppose i could, but i would like to get it working the way it is supposed to :(
| |
| 04:20 | right now i'm trying to debug ldm
| |
| 04:21 | <laga> yeah, but debugging five problems simultaneously must be a bit annoying :)
| |
| 04:21 | <johnny> well i'm just working on the vm
| |
| 04:21 | i'll get back to that some other time
| |
| 04:22 | the default x config works nicely.. that's the odd thing
| |
| 04:23 | <laga> are you on a debian-ish box?
| |
| 04:25 | <johnny> no
| |
| 04:26 | <laga> ah, too bad. i was going to suggest you could also use dexconf and xdebconfigurator.. but of course, that's not LTSP standard

| 09:52 | <warren> cliebow: no big changes so I didn't post an agenda
| |
| 09:52 | cliebow: we talked a little bit
| |
| 09:52 | cliebow: petre said he would work on ltsp-server-initialize
| |
| 09:52 | * warren doubts he will | |
| 09:53 | mhterres has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:56 | <cliebow> warren:i am still poking through the bzr trying to get a handle omn it,...
| |
| 09:58 | <Q-FUNK> ogra_cmpc: geode is in debian now. we just need to sync 2.8.0-3 in
| |
| 09:59 | Gadi: and this needs to be tested ASAP. one thing I already noticed is that the drvier doesn't successfully detect when it is launched as "amd" instead of "geode" and we have to figure this out ASAP.
| |
| 10:09 | <muh2000> Q-FUNK: geode is in but seems not to work:(
| |
| 10:09 | 2.8.0-3 the version of the driver?

| 10:17 | <debayan> cyberorg.. you there??
| |
| 10:17 | <warren> muh2000: with or without xorg.conf?
| |
| 10:17 | Q-FUNK: does debian provide the amd_drv.so compat symlink?
| |
| 10:17 | <debayan> cyberorg: i am having the problems with kiwi-ltsp
| |
| 10:17 | cyberorg: not enpugh memory for /mnt
| |
| 10:18 | cyberorg: the changes you asked me to make the other day
| |
| 10:18 | cyberorg: cplease tell me again
| |
| 10:19 | <muh2000> warren: Xorg -configure; (edited the config to driver = geode) X -config xorg.conf.new
| |
| 10:19 | also without the Xorg stuff...
| |
| 10:19 | logs said something about mtrr
| |
| 10:19 | <Q-FUNK> warren: not yet, but i tried it here and it doesn't work
| |
| 10:19 | <muh2000> system lacks support for changing mtrrs
| |
| 10:19 | <warren> Q-FUNK: odd, it works here.
| |
| 10:20 | <Q-FUNK> warren: at least, with an xorg.conf, calling amd failed
| |
| 10:20 | but as soon as I edited xorg.conf to call "geode" it suddenly worked
| |
| 10:21 | <muh2000> Q-FUNK: damn why did that not work here?
| |
| 10:22 | <debayan> cyberorg: you there???
| |
| 10:23 | <warren> muh2000: could be other hardware specific problems
| |
| 10:24 | <debayan> anyone here familiar with kiwi-ltsp???

| |
| 12:22 | generalsnus has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:27 | <generalsnus> i could need some input here.. we currently have about 30 skolelinux thin clients and 2 ltsp server and a ldap server.. we where thinking about moving over to edubuntu soon, but we also want some workstations that could authtenticate together with the thin clients.. we have the choice to use a w2k3 server or a ldap server(needs usr/pass sync from AD)
| |
| 12:39 | _iznog_ has quit IRC | |
| 12:39 | <klausade> generalsnus: why move from Skolelinux? why consider using ldap if you already have a AD (that you must sync from)?
| |
| 12:42 | chup has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:42 | chupa has quit IRC | |
| 12:45 | <generalsnus> atm, we have seperate usr/passon thin clients than our domain .. and the reason for moving to edubuntu..seems there is a lot more devloping there, and a lot more support.. and we also wanna add edubuntu thick klients in the mix.. we are just unsure how we shoul get em all to authenticate
| |
| 12:45 | passon=password
| |
| 12:45 | damn typos :P

| 15:21 | <hotdog003> Hey, I have a thin client that won't boot up. It gets to the "ubuntu" usplash, but then doesn't do anything. Wireshark reveals that the only packets that got through are for the TFTP kernel transfer. What's more, the light on my network card goes out so it thinks the cable's disconnected, but it's not. Any ideas?
| |
| 15:21 | Q-FUNK has quit IRC | |
| 15:21 | <johnny> hotdog003, disable the splash screen and see what happens?
| |
| 15:22 | remove it from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 15:22 | splash and quiet
| |
| 15:22 | <hotdog003> Ok
| |
| 15:22 | <johnny> don't forget to put it back tho
| |
| 15:24 | <hotdog003> Oh. It didn't detect the ethernet card. "eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device" and then ipconfig says "no devices to configure". Snaps and dangs. I guess I need to copy the module over, huh?
| |
| 15:24 | <johnny> that's odd
| |
| 15:24 | rarely is that a problem with distro kernels
| |
| 15:24 | <hotdog003> It starts just fine with an ubuntu hardy beta CD. I'll see what make and model the card is.
| |
| 15:27 | <laga> maybe the module for the network card isn't in the initrd
| |
| 15:28 | <hotdog003> Yeah, that would explain it. Let's see.
| |
| 15:28 | Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8050 PCI-E ASF Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
| |
| 15:28 | D'oh.
| |
| 15:29 | Apparently, it'd controlled by the "sky2" module.
| |
| 15:33 | Ok, added to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, then I'm doing an update-initramfs, then all I need to do is a sudo ltsp-update-kernels... Thanks, guys!
| |
| 15:33 | TelnetManta has quit IRC | |
| 15:34 | <laga> hotdog003: you need to add it to /opt/ltsp/i386//etc/initramfs-tools/modules
| |
| 15:34 | just sayin'
| |
| 15:34 | <hotdog003> Yeah, that's what I meant...
| |
| 15:34 | ...oh...
| |
| 15:34 | No wonder it doesn't work.
| |
| 15:35 | HOw'd you guess? >_<
| |
| 15:36 | <laga> it's not that obvious :)
| |
| 15:37 | hotdog003: you best sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
| |
| 15:37 | then update-initramfs will work as well
| |
| 15:37 | <hotdog003> Ok
| |
| 15:37 | Thank you! It boots right up.
| |
| 15:37 | <laga> great!
| |
| 15:37 | <hotdog003> I appreciate all your help. Would you suggest filing a bug?
| |
| 15:38 | This was a strange problem, but I'm not sure if I was the only one who experienced it.
| |
| 15:38 | <laga> hotdog003: i'd file a bug. i think initramfs-tools would be the correct candidate
| |
| 15:38 | hotdog003: you might want to file it against ltsp as well, just to be sure :)
| |
| 15:39 | <hotdog003> Ok.
| |
| 15:39 | Will do! Thanks again.

| 17:44 | <moellerdk> Hello everyone... I'm trying to get LTSP to work with an NFS-mounted root. I've followed this guide; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPWithoutNFS (section named: Reverting to NFS if you want to).
| |
| 17:45 | What I need is to mount my root as read-write and not just read-only. How do I do that?

| |
| 18:42 | <jammcq> agliodbs: hey
| |
| 18:42 | I'll be there
| |
| 18:42 | you going?
| |
| 18:42 | <vagrantc> warren: i've been traveling the past two days... i've got some comments regarding the Xsession stuff ...
| |
| 18:42 | <warren> vagrantc: good
| |
| 18:42 | <vagrantc> warren: but i'll need a bit to catch up with everything.
| |
| 18:43 | * vagrantc waves from nyc | |
| 18:43 | <agliodbs> jammcq: yep
| |
| 18:43 | <jammcq> vagrantc: still in NYC, eh?
| |
| 18:43 | agliodbs: cool. well, I'll be going, if my visa arrives
| |
| 18:43 | <vagrantc> jammcq: for the last 4 hours or so, yeah.
| |
| 18:43 | * jammcq waits nervously | |
| 18:43 | <agliodbs> jammcq: yeah, don't that make you nervous
| |
| 18:43 | when did you send it in?
| |
| 18:44 | <jammcq> agliodbs: last week. I sent it to a visa service to also get my passport renewed
| |
| 18:44 | turns out if you pay them enough money, they'll make sure it all works out
| |
| 18:44 | <agliodbs> gah
| |
| 18:44 | that has to be expensive
| |
| 18:44 | I had to get extra passport pages rush for China
| |
| 18:44 | cost me $400
| |
| 18:44 | <jammcq> the total will run about $600
| |
| 18:44 | <agliodbs> yeah
| |
| 18:45 | mind you, the brazil visa is $180 of that
| |
| 18:45 | <jammcq> I could have gotten more pages, but it expires in 2 yrs anyway, and it takes the same amount of time to either renew it, or get more pages. so...
| |
| 18:46 | <agliodbs> yeah
| |
| 18:46 | I was annoyed with the service that they didn't tell me a renewal was the same cost
| |
| 18:47 | although mine doesn't expire for 3 years
| |
| 18:49 | * vagrantc thinks "set -e" would be a good simple start for autogen.sh | |

| 19:22 | <johnny> hi
| |
| 19:23 | aleki_away has quit IRC | |
| 19:26 | <johnny> hmm.. something odd happens with Xorg -configure -novtswitch :1
| |
| 19:26 | it tries switching vts anywas
| |
| 19:27 | and never comes back
| |
| 19:28 | <vagrantc> yeah, i've seen that.
| |
| 19:29 | <johnny> i just get left with a black screen
| |
| 19:29 | and since vbox doesn't have hostkey + ctrl + alt yet
| |
| 19:29 | :(
| |
| 19:29 | <vagrantc> ?
| |
| 19:30 | <johnny> or whatever the sequence will be to do ctrl + alt +f1 inside a vbox
| |
| 19:30 | it's coming in the next release
| |
| 19:30 | <vagrantc> hostkey-F# is equivalent to ctrl-alt-F#
| |
| 19:30 | <johnny> oh?
| |
| 19:30 | <vagrantc> since 1.5.x
| |
| 19:31 | i think i started with 1.5.5 ...
| |
| 19:31 | <johnny> aha
| |
| 19:32 | <vagrantc> so, i've got some nice patches for ltspfs i worked on the plane ...
| |
| 19:32 | runs cdpinger and ltspfsd from add_fstab_entry, and needs no changes to the udev rules.
| |
| 19:33 | seems to work well ... but need to support LOCALDEV booleans...
| |
| 19:35 | needs to work even if ltsp-client* isn't installed... i guess we could have a LOCALDEV variable and if boolean_is_true isn't available, just check against "True" ...
| |
| 19:35 | <johnny> uggh.
| |
| 19:35 | doesn't matter.. the screen is dead :(
| |
| 19:36 | host-F# works before i run Xorg -configure -novtswitch :1
| |
| 19:36 | but not after
| |
| 19:36 | <vagrantc> yeah, i've encountered that as well ...
| |
| 19:36 | <johnny> and? :)
| |
| 19:37 | <vagrantc> set CONFIGURE_X=false
| |
| 19:37 | <johnny> lol
| |
| 19:37 | <vagrantc> rm /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg.conf
| |
| 19:37 | ta-da.
| |
| 19:37 | <johnny> but it'll still add all the xorg opts?
| |
| 19:37 | X_COLOR_DEPTH , etc
| |
| 19:37 | <vagrantc> ?
| |
| 19:37 | no, it won't respect those.
| |
| 19:38 | <johnny> oh :(
| |
| 19:38 | <vagrantc> have you gotten ldm booting at all yet?
| |
| 19:38 | <johnny> almost
| |
| 19:38 | i get some assertion errors
| |
| 19:38 | i get X cursor
| |
| 19:38 | but nothing else
| |
| 19:38 | i've been trying to gdb it , almost got somewhere last night before i passed out
| |
| 19:38 | <vagrantc> well, that's a start.
| |
| 19:38 | <johnny> running a manual startx is fine
| |
| 19:38 | btw
| |
| 19:39 | <vagrantc> i would put off X configuration for getting ldm working first.
| |
| 19:39 | <johnny> oh.. i remember what happened
| |
| 19:39 | i couldn't figure out why it couldn't find $SERVER
| |
| 19:39 | even though i see it in # env
| |
| 19:39 | oh.. there's a tiny patch needed for gentoo support
| |
| 19:39 | luckily i'm able to manually override it
| |
| 19:40 | LDM_SESSION=/etc/X11/Sessions/Xsession
| |
| 19:40 | that's what it is for gentoo
| |
| 19:40 | <vagrantc> yeah.
| |
| 19:40 | seems like nearly every distro is different.
| |
| 19:40 | <johnny> what's the /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf or whatever
| |
| 19:40 | err up with*
| |
| 19:41 | <vagrantc> johnny: you see the thread on ltsp-developer regarding the Xsession locations?
| |
| 19:41 | <johnny> i see that failing when i tried to run the screen_session "07" manually
| |
| 19:41 | oh.. i haven't subbed to that yet
| |
| 19:41 | <vagrantc> /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf is where we should move our configuration scripts to use.
| |
| 19:41 | if it's present, the screen scripts will use that.
| |
| 19:41 | <johnny> it's too bad you can't tell X where to save the -configure
| |
| 19:42 | Xorg -configure -config /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf
| |
| 19:42 | or something
| |
| 19:42 | <vagrantc> this allows for autodetection, but if configuration values that require generating an xorg.conf file are present, it can generate it
| |
| 19:42 | <johnny> so.. does that mean we won't use /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
| |
| 19:42 | or won't use xorg.conf.new ?
| |
| 19:43 | <vagrantc> yes and no
| |
| 19:43 | if you prefer to use /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then it's typically the default place X.org looks for a configuration file, so it will get used.
| |
| 19:43 | if you generate /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf, it will get used by the screen scripts.
| |
| 19:44 | but if you prefer to generate /etc/X11/xorg.conf, that'll work as long as you don't also generate /var/run/ltsp-xorg.cocnf
| |
| 19:45 | xorg.conf.new isn't used, per se ... it's just a temporary file name. could be any random file name.

| 20:49 | <jamesjames> anyone wanna chat about dhcp?
| |
| 20:50 | <vagrantc> !question
| |
| 20:50 | <ltspbot`> vagrantc: "question" is if you have a question about ltsp, please go ahead and ask it, and people will respond if they can. please also mention the linux distro and release you're using. :)
| |
| 20:55 | <warren> vagrantc: you prefer /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf over /var/run/ltsp/xorg.conf?
| |
| 20:55 | * warren is fine with either | |
| 20:57 | <sutula> jamesjames: There's also a #dns listed on this server
| |
| 20:58 | <jamesjames> yea it's not a dns prob.. it's dhcp. I'm typing up the question now ;)
| |
| 20:59 | We already have a dhcp server on our network. We use the class b range so our address are like 172.16.16.50 with a subnetmask of 255.255.240.0
| |
| 20:59 | We want to setup a k12ltsp box running version 5-EL but only have one nic and have it be apart of our regular network. Not doing nat between a lab and the rest of the network.
| |
| 20:59 | So we need k12ltsp to play nice with the other dhcp server. I read the wiki page on using alternate dhcp port 1067, but it didn't see to work. Also the instructions don't seem to match whats on the box. ie "Edit your /etc/dhcpd.conf" but i think i'm suppose to edit my /etc/dhcp-ltsp.conf file.
| |
| 21:00 | So i guess my question is does this work? Do i need to carve out a range of addresses in my regular dhcp server? Does the k12ltsp box hand out 192.168 addresses? Or do i need to go in and change all that to the 172.16.x.x to get the clients to work on my network.

| 21:04 | AzMoo has joined #ltsp | |
| 21:05 | <AzMoo> I'm having issues figuring out how to use FreeNX with LTSP. I'm not sure if I've figured out the process. I'm thinking I need to install a Free
| |
| 21:06 | NX client into the chroot environment and FreeNX server in the normal environment?
| |
| 21:08 | spectra has joined #ltsp | |
| 21:09 | <johnny> jamesjames, you don't need to run a dns server on the same machine at all
| |
| 21:09 | ie: not on your k12ltsp box
| |
| 21:09 | err dhcp
| |
| 21:09 | AzMoo, correct
| |
| 21:09 | vagrantc, so how long are you going to be about?
| |
| 21:10 | <jamesjames> so all the dhcp stuff can be done on my regular dhcp server?
| |
| 21:11 | the reason i wanted to do this was because i still need to netboot macintosh clients.. but i don't want them to get picked up by the k12ltsp server.
| |
| 21:12 | <AzMoo> johnny: How do I then get the nx client to initialize instead of the ssh client?
| |
| 21:12 | <johnny> i have no idea
| |
| 21:13 | i have't played with it yet
| |
| 21:13 | <AzMoo> heh, alright mate, ta.
| |
| 21:13 | <johnny> just saying that is what you do :)
| |
| 21:13 | to start
| |
| 21:13 | jamesjames, with the proper statements yes
| |
| 21:13 | <AzMoo> yeah, that's cool, it's what most people have said, just nobody mentions *how* ;)
| |
| 21:13 | <johnny> well you can be the trail blazer
| |
| 21:13 | somebody has to :)
| |
| 21:14 | <AzMoo> It looks like it's been done plenty of times, I just can't find anybody who gives directions. I might start a blog once I've finished ;)
| |
| 21:15 | <jamesjames> thanks for the info.. i'll play with it some more and see what i can get going.
| |
| 21:15 | <vagrantc> warren: in general, i think we should move towards sub-directories, and the sooner we do the better.
| |
| 21:18 | johnny: not sure... i'm pretty tired, but i'll be half-here for a while.

| 21:55 | <johnny> that wasn't that long :(
| |
| 21:59 | <dberkholz> johnny: if you're using Xorg -configure without changing anything, you shouldn't need an xorg.conf at all
| |
| 22:00 | johnny: that would actually be the best, if it works
| |
| 22:01 | assuming ltsp doesn't need to tweak the xorg.conf around at all
| |
| 22:01 | <johnny> it does
| |
| 22:01 | there are very many good reasons to do so
| |
| 22:02 | X_COLOR_DEPTH=16 for example
| |
| 22:02 | <dberkholz> why would you ever want to use that?
| |
| 22:02 | <johnny> that's the only way the optiplexes i have running ltsp work
| |
| 22:02 | <dberkholz> sounds like a driver bug
| |
| 22:02 | <johnny> perhaps
| |
| 22:02 | <dberkholz> get it fixed instead of hacking around it
| |
| 22:02 | <johnny> but there are also other lts parameters
| |
| 22:03 | like forcing the video driver ..
| |
| 22:03 | <dberkholz> shouldn't be necessary either, if things are set up properly
| |
| 22:04 | <johnny> obviously, but we can't personally fix everything
| |
| 22:04 | or at least i know i can't
| |
| 22:04 | <dberkholz> sure we can =)
| |
| 22:04 | we can use the latest possible X versions and report issues upstream
| |
| 22:05 | <johnny> take a look at the lts-parameters.txt file in the tree
| |
| 22:05 | <dberkholz> with gentoo, we don't have any requirement to support crazy old stuff, so we can rely on the autodetection and whatnot in the newest X versions
| |
| 22:06 | <johnny> serial mouse
| |
| 22:06 | x can't detect that
| |
| 22:06 | <dberkholz> serial can be emulated as ps2 nowadays
| |
| 22:06 | <johnny> take a look at lts-parameters :)
| |
| 22:06 | <dberkholz> i'm looking at it now
| |
| 22:07 | xkb setup could be handled by the desktop environment, the rest should be taken care of
| |
| 22:07 | <johnny> except xfs ?
| |
| 22:07 | not that i personally care.
| |
| 22:07 | i've never used it
| |
| 22:07 | <dberkholz> let people set up a custom xorg.conf if they need it, and use that X_CONF setting for it
| |
| 22:08 | <johnny> ok.. i was under the impression that we wanted to support whatever we could
| |
| 22:09 | hmm.. are you familiar with portage internals dberkholz?
| |
| 22:09 | <dberkholz> depends how internal
| |
| 22:09 | <johnny> is there a reason env-update has to write files in /etc ?
| |
| 22:09 | <dberkholz> yes
| |
| 22:09 | <johnny> why?
| |
| 22:10 | <dberkholz> it generates the environment setup from /etc/env.d/ so that the rest of the system can use it
| |
| 22:10 | ld.so.conf and profile.env, maybe others
| |
| 22:10 | <johnny> well ld.so.conf can be turned off by --no-ldconfig
| |
| 22:10 | <dberkholz> on the other hand, i don't see why env-update should ever need to run on a client system
| |
| 22:11 | just when you're updating the client root from the server
| |
| 22:11 | <johnny> i wanted the lts.conf parameters to be in profile.env for some experiments i was doing
| |
| 22:13 | ogra_cmpc has quit IRC | |
| 22:13 | <johnny> so i wanted to bind mount profile.env and /etc/env.d/00ltsp , but instead i just bind mounted profile.env and then pushed the contents of getltscfg -a to profile.env directly
| |
| 22:14 | <dberkholz> i'll be back in a few

| 23:25 | <johnny> huh..
| |
| 23:25 | i had to manually set LDM_THEME
| |
| 23:25 | ldm actually shows up now..
| |
| 23:34 | <AzMoo> So when I log into the terminal on my client, what is it actually authenticating off? Does it make an ssh connection into the server?
| |
| 23:38 | <johnny> yes
| |
| 23:39 | <AzMoo> OK, so that means that I need to ensure that the keys are created and included in the image before I boot, yes?
| |
| 23:40 | <johnny> it happens when you create the image
| |
| 23:40 | at least in most distros?
| |
| 23:40 | <AzMoo> I'm using Ubuntu
| |
| 23:41 | <johnny> yes, it does it when you run ltsp-build-client
| |
| 23:41 | <AzMoo> OK, then why the f^#$ can't I log in with my user? :\
| |
| 23:42 | <johnny> check your ldm log
| |
| 23:42 | <AzMoo> Where's that?
| |
| 23:44 | If I ssh from this box I can get in fine with my normal username and password.
| |
| 23:45 | But if I try and login from the client it tells me that my login is incorrect. Note this is on the terminal, not any kind of X login.
| |
| 23:49 | And I can log in from the chroot.
| |
| 23:49 | Which means it's got nothing to do with ssh keys.
| |
| 23:49 | * AzMoo curses. | |
| 23:56 | <sutula> AzMoo: If you've made any changes, I think there's an update-image step
| |
| 23:57 | idg|Zzzzz is now known as indradg | |
| 23:57 | <AzMoo> sutula: Yep. If I create a local user inside the chroot I can log in.
| |
| 23:58 | <sutula> AzMoo: When I look at your previous comments, I'm not sure what you're asking, or trying to do. What's the real problem?
| |
