| 08:56 | <warren> k12linux meeting here in 5 minutes.
| |
| 08:58 | EvilBob has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:01 | <warren> who is here for the k12linux meeting?
| |
| 09:02 | * eharrison raises hand | |
| 09:02 | * petre also raises hand | |
| 09:03 | <warren> Is anyone successfully using LTSP on a Fedora 9 host?
| |
| 09:03 | * EvilBob is here as a spectator | |
| 09:03 | <warren> I suspect something in Fedora 9 broke NFS root boot in the past week or two. I've been smashing my head against this for days with no luck.
| |
| 09:04 | * petre is using f8 atm | |
| 09:04 | * Q-FUNK is just idling on the channel as usual - live from the HEL-TLL ferry | |
| 09:04 | <eharrison> I just installed on F9, but it looks like my thin client died this morning :-(
| |
| 09:04 | <beakburke> here as a spectator for the moment, but has a test "server" and a client avaialble for use
| |
| 09:05 | <warren> On fedora-devel-list someone else reported that a system upgraded from F8 to F9 has the same problem where their bootup gets stuck at a certain point
| |
| 09:05 | <Q-FUNK> probably because LTSP now uses NBD by default
| |
| 09:06 | <warren> Q-FUNK: shush please
| |
| 09:06 | Q-FUNK: we don't use that part at all.
| |
| 09:07 | https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=188611&hide_resolved=1
| |
| 09:07 | <Q-FUNK> you don't, but then I wouldn't be surprised if the code for NFS support broke since the switch to NBD.
| |
| 09:07 | <warren> Q-FUNK: no.
| |
| 09:07 | Q-FUNK: please stop making assumptions.
| |
| 09:08 | Q-FUNK: I've been doing it NFS-only ever since September and it's been working until the last week or so.
| |
| 09:08 | <jammcq> \me raises his hand too
| |
| 09:08 | <warren> Q-FUNK: I bypass several of the upstream LTSP scripts currently
| |
| 09:08 | <Q-FUNK> warren: it would be a good idea for you to stop acting like such a prima donna whenever someone proposes somethign you don't like-.
| |
| 09:08 | <warren> Q-FUNK: thank you for the suggestion, but I am quite sure this is limited to a Fedora 9 problem.
| |
| 09:08 | K_O-Gnom has quit IRC | |
| 09:09 | <Q-FUNK> fine, then.
| |
| 09:09 | <warren> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=188611&hide_resolved=1
| |
| 09:09 | OK, back to the tracker.
| |
| 09:10 | No real progress on any of this as I've been tied up stabilizing Fedora 9 proper lately.
| |
| 09:10 | And this new problem booting the clients at all has been sucking a lot of my time.
| |
| 09:10 | No sense trying to fix anything else if I can't boot any client.
| |
| 09:11 | If any of you have a working Fedora 8 install, then you might want to work on those other problems
| |
| 09:11 | <vagrantc> Q-FUNK: i've made sure that NFS continues to work with upstream ltsp, as the instability of unionfs and squashfs inm debian has made it impossible to keep up.
| |
| 09:11 | <warren> sound for example, lennart wrote some good advice of how to make sound work
| |
| 09:12 | <vagrantc> and NFS has some nice advantages over NBD.
| |
| 09:12 | <Q-FUNK> vagrantc: ok. good to know. here, I ended up re-installing my LTSP testbed with Hardy, since this is our main market, so I haven't been able to test the debian side of LTSP in ages.
| |
| 09:13 | <vagrantc> Q-FUNK: it's finally in a good state in both unstable and testing. migration has been stalled on numerous occasions due to slow buildd's
| |
| 09:13 | <warren> Q-FUNK: vagrantc and I are using different scripts in several places for this.
| |
| 09:13 | <Q-FUNK> noted.
| |
| 09:14 | <warren> OK, K12Linux people...
| |
| 09:14 | For weeks I've been pointing you folks at exactly what needs help doing, especially easier tasks to get your feet wet.
| |
| 09:14 | I've had almost no contributions from non-me.
| |
| 09:15 | <Q-FUNK> I've been trying to coherce our dev team to have separate debian, ubuntu and fedora test servers, just so that we can verify operation of our thincan on the main platforms. we also have a gentoo dev on-staff who volunteered to verify that one.
| |
| 09:15 | <warren> What we have in Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 now is usable except not production ready because we're missing a few of the important features.
| |
| 09:15 | - no sound
| |
| 09:15 | <Q-FUNK> however, so far, the concensus has been that ubuntu is the main LTSP market.
| |
| 09:15 | <warren> - non-PXE boot is broken
| |
| 09:15 | - local devices are broken
| |
| 09:15 | * Q-FUNK lets the k12 session continue and goes to the business longe's buffet... | |
| 09:16 | <warren> I'm fighting against the bugs the best I can alone.
| |
| 09:16 | I will eventually get to those lower priority problems listed above.
| |
| 09:16 | but we wont have this in production ready shape soon unless other people get involved.
| |
| 09:17 | Anybody have any questions and comments?
| |
| 09:17 | Otherwise I need to get back to work
| |
| 09:17 | (the F9 not booting at all bug)
| |
| 09:17 | * eharrison has freed up some development time, will do my best to help out... | |
| 09:17 | <beakburke> did you have a list of the "easy" stuff you gave out before
| |
| 09:18 | a link is fine
| |
| 09:18 | <warren> beakburke: http://wtogami.livejournal.com/24147.html
| |
| 09:18 | I guess this list has to be amended
| |
| 09:18 | sound for example
| |
| 09:18 | we will NOT ship it the way Ubuntu and everyone else uses it right now
| |
| 09:19 | Lennart explained exactly how to use pulseaudio with proper unique security keys
| |
| 09:19 | so people on your network can't screw with the clients (playing sounds to scare someone or maybe listen on their microphone)
| |
| 09:20 | <petre> beakburke, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=188611&hide_resolved=1
| |
| 09:20 | <warren> beakburke: one even easier case that would help out: try to install it, write down everything that confuses you and write to the list.
| |
| 09:20 | beakburke: help to improve the documentation
| |
| 09:20 | * eharrison snagged an old laptop & is back in business ;-) I'm seeing the F9 nfs hang :-( | |
| 09:21 | <warren> eharrison: yeah, we're pretty hosed until we figure that out =(
| |
| 09:21 | eharrison: you could install a F8 chroot instead, it should work fine.
| |
| 09:21 | eharrison: blow away /opt/ltsp/i386 and use ltsp-build-client --release=8
| |
| 09:21 | <eharrison> ok. I'll bang in the F9 a little first. Maybe I'll get lucky.
| |
| 09:22 | <petre> warren, is that --release=8 documented anywhere?
| |
| 09:22 | <warren> petre: probably not in our wiki
| |
| 09:22 | petre: do you have a fedora account? I can grant you wiki edit access
| |
| 09:22 | eharrison: I tried earlier versions of kernel, mkinitrd and upstart, no luck.
| |
| 09:23 | eharrison: someone on fedora-devel-list reported that their upgraded plain laptop from F8 to F9 gets stuck at the same place. Makes me wonder if this is a missing package.
| |
| 09:23 | <petre> yes, I got an account setup last week; will try to add to docs this afternoon
| |
| 09:23 | <warren> petre: does it let you edit the wiki?
| |
| 09:24 | petre: https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/SandBox try editing here
| |
| 09:25 | <petre> I'm in on https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/InstallGuide
| |
| 09:25 | <warren> eharrison: actually, I think I'll try a "Desktop" install into the ltsp chroot next, just to test that theory.
| |
| 09:25 | <eharrison> warren: I commented out "setquiet" in the initrd & it dies at "unmounting old /sys", which is in switchroot
| |
| 09:25 | * petre thinks he fixed a typo last week | |
| 09:25 | <warren> eharrison: yeah I figured out that much.
| |
| 09:26 | eharrison: here's a trick: in pxelinux.cfg/default you can normally use init=/bin/bash to drop to a shell immediately
| |
| 09:26 | eharrison: however that's broken for some reason
| |
| 09:26 | eharrison: write a shell script /opt/ltsp/i386/test.sh
| |
| 09:26 | eharrison: #!/bin/bash
| |
| 09:26 | exec /bin/bash -l -i
| |
| 09:26 | chmod 755 /opt/ltsp/i386/test.sh
| |
| 09:26 | dtrask has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:27 | <warren> then init=/test.sh
| |
| 09:27 | <ogra> warren, about the comments from lennart, sound wont be as easy as you think with what you want to achieve: there is no hal on a client (i doubt it will run on 64M clients and leave you rame for operation if dbus and friends are needed), the X display is nonexistent or can change at the point pulse starts atm (needs to move into teh session startup of ldm somehow for that to work), lennarts points about volume rstore are moot on a client (no per u
| |
| 09:27 | ser saving anyway), the native protocol loader was used by scotties localpps implementation
| |
| 09:27 | <warren> ogra: yeah, it wont be so easy to fix it.
| |
| 09:27 | <ogra> right
| |
| 09:27 | <warren> ogra: I may have to work on it myself.
| |
| 09:28 | <ogra> it needs a good reimplementation but still needs to run on minimal ressources
| |
| 09:28 | i will work on it in intrepid if nobody did it by then
| |
| 09:28 | <warren> why is hal needed on the clent?
| |
| 09:29 | client?
| |
| 09:29 | <ogra> we need a hal implementation anyway on the cliet side ... i guess that needs a cut down patched hal
| |
| 09:29 | well, i'd like to get a dbus connection going properly between client and session at some point, the you can have access to the clietn hw though it
| |
| 09:29 | s/the/then/
| |
| 09:30 | robark has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:30 | <ogra> for ltspfs (not sure you know i'm working on a hal based solution since a while here)
| |
| 09:30 | <warren> the way lennart explained it we dono
| |
| 09:30 | don't necessarily need hal
| |
| 09:30 | oh really? cool.
| |
| 09:30 | <ogra> and as you can see for sound as well
| |
| 09:31 | since its needed for proper input autoconfiguration, dynamic config etc
| |
| 09:31 | imagine a client with builtin soundcard ... it would be the default ...
| |
| 09:31 | plamengr has quit IRC | |
| 09:31 | <ogra> now you want to use that client with asterisk in your call center
| |
| 09:32 | and plug un a usb headset
| |
| 09:32 | in that case hal would autoconfigure it for you
| |
| 09:33 | hal is a major need in tsp imho but to heavyweitght yet ... we need to send it and its friends on a diet first :)
| |
| 09:33 | <warren> beakburke: eharrison: petre: any more thoughts for today?
| |
| 09:33 | <beakburke> nope, I'll get cracking on the F9beta install
| |
| 09:33 | <eharrison> warren: I did a tcpdump & I'm not so sure this is a NFS problem - I can see it run through some of the init scripts.
| |
| 09:33 | <warren> beakburke: eharrison: petre: if nothing else please just post things you are confused about to the list or help to put stuff into the docs.
| |
| 09:33 | <leio> Q-FUNK: what did I volunteer again? ;p
| |
| 09:34 | <warren> eharrison: yeah, I think it is a problem in the OS itself
| |
| 09:34 | * warren tries a chroot install with a lot more crap than usual | |
| 09:34 | <eharrison> it was dying a couple lines after running "exec /sbin/agetty...."
| |
| 09:35 | <Q-FUNK> leio: to help dberkholz complete the LTSP port and to test our thincan on it :)
| |
| 09:35 | <warren> eharrison: you see that entirely in tcpdump?
| |
| 09:36 | <eharrison> if [ "$UPSTART_EVENT" != "${UPSTART_EVENT##fedora.serial-console-available}" ]; then....
| |
| 09:36 | <warren> eharrison: which script is this?
| |
| 09:36 | <eharrison> warren: I'll email you the dump (it is 12M uncompressed). If you load it into wireshark, click on the last packet, and do a "follow udp stream"
| |
| 09:37 | I'm looking for that now
| |
| 09:38 | <warren> /etc/event.d/
| |
| 09:39 | eharrison: what happens if you move /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/event.d/serial out of the way before booting the client?
| |
| 09:39 | Meanwhile, I install a fuller chroot just to test the "missing something" theory.
| |
| 09:40 | * petre must go pick up his son; bbiaw | |
| 09:44 | <eharrison> warren: still hangs, this time after running /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/event.d/logd. So it must be whatever comes after running the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/event.d/ scripts
| |
| 09:45 | petre has quit IRC | |
| 09:46 | <warren> eharrison: I don't understand well enough of how upstart works
| |
| 09:47 | * eharrison has the same problem ;-) I'm digging into it now... | |
| 09:48 | <ogra> ubuntu doesnt shp the serial event.d script by default ... the instaler only copies it into place on request through a bootoption
| |
| 09:48 | try dropping it and see if it boots :)
| |
| 09:49 | <eharrison> ogra: I did. No joy. Do you happen to know what upstart does after running the ./event.d/ scripts?
| |
| 09:49 | <warren> or what binary is run to launch event.d?
| |
| 09:49 | we need to figure out where that is in the boot sequence
| |
| 09:50 | sdziallas has quit IRC | |
| 09:51 | <warren> my more complete chroot install is almost done
| |
| 09:51 | <ogra> warren, init
| |
| 09:52 | <eharrison> warren: a getting-started guide ;-) http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html
| |
| 09:52 | <ogra> warren, upstart replaces init
| |
| 09:54 | <warren> curious that sysrq-T isn't showing any userspace process
| |
| 09:54 | * eharrison runs off to start another pot of coffee... Sunday 6:00am PDT is pretty brutal for us nocturnal folk ;-) | |
| 09:55 | <warren> eharrison: blame dyoung for the meeting time
| |
| 09:55 | and he isn't even here =)
| |
| 09:57 | <Q-FUNK> :)
| |
| 09:57 | blame canada!
| |
| 09:57 | * Q-FUNK goes back to the buffet | |
| 09:57 | <warren> eharrison: ooh!
| |
| 09:57 | eharrison: my fuller chroot boots just fine
| |
| 09:57 | eharrison: we might just be missing a package.
| |
| 10:05 | herson has quit IRC | |
| 10:07 | <robark> Hi guys, I'm up with my kids (in PDT). I hope you guys find that missing package
| |
| 10:09 | warren_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:09 | <eharrison> robark: good morning!
| |
| 10:09 | <warren_> got disconnected

| 10:09 | herson has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:10 | <robark> eharrison: morning Eric
| |
| 10:11 | <IRCzito> K12Linux meeting yet?
| |
| 10:12 | <warren_> meeting is over
| |
| 10:13 | eharrison: the missing package seems to be something not listed in our kickstart file. I tried removing all of the lines beginning in "-" and it made no difference.
| |
| 10:13 | <IRCzito> warren_: :( Ive sleeping
| |
| 10:13 | <eharrison> warren: I'm guessing that it is event-compat-sysv (testing theory now...)
| |
| 10:14 | <warren_> ooh
| |
| 10:15 | eharrison: that was it!
| |
| 10:16 | <eharrison> warren_: confirmed here as well
| |
| 10:16 | <warren_> eharrison: OK, I'm going to see if a dep in the OS can be added for that, I don't think THAT should be listed explicitly
| |
| 10:18 | perhaps upstart should Require event-compat-sysv?
| |
| 10:18 | or maybe initscripts
| |
| 10:19 | <IRCzito> warren_: I write somethink on /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-init-common to get printers work, but i dont know if is the right place.
| |
| 10:19 | <warren_> IRCzito: you have to subscribe to the list to post there
| |
| 10:19 | IRCzito: your change made it actually work? I have no idea how jetpipe works
| |
| 10:20 | <IRCzito> warren_: I do it
| |
| 10:20 | <robark> well done guys
| |
| 10:22 | warren_ has left #ltsp | |
| 10:22 | IRCzito has left #ltsp | |
| 10:27 | <warren> eharrison: good work
| |
| 10:27 | eharrison: I gotta meet someone for lunch now
| |
| 10:27 | bbl
| |
| 10:28 | <eharrison> warren: and I'm off for breakfast

| 17:06 | <tjpp> johnny, thanks
| |
| 17:07 | is there any advantage in using a 64 bits OS for that ?
| |
| 17:07 | I mean I know there are no problems with 64 bits that usually happens on 32 bits
| |
| 17:07 | <petre> tjpp, for client? no
| |
| 17:08 | <tjpp> by the fact of using more than 8Gb
| |
| 17:08 | <petre> to use more than 4GB RAM on server, you need 64-bit
| |
| 17:08 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
| 17:08 | <tjpp> I am going to install a whole lab with 24 thin clients
| |
| 17:08 | and I have to choose the server configuration
| |
| 17:09 | so I think in a intel quad with 8Gb RAM
| |
| 17:09 | is that enough for desktop applications (no multimedia since it is a Physics Depto. lab)
| |
| 17:09 | <petre> depending on what apps the clients will be running, 4GB ought to be enough for 24 clients
| |
| 17:10 | should be plenty
| |
| 17:10 | <tjpp> mostly web browsing, some 2D graphics analysis and text edition with OPenOffice and LaTeX
| |
| 17:10 | hersonls has quit IRC | |
| 17:11 | <petre> some multimedia apps have been difficult on 64-bit, and you end up having to recompile then for 32-bit, e.g., flash
| |
| 17:12 | <tjpp> yes, and the Java plugin, that Sun promise only for 2009 :(
| |
| 17:13 | and what about a few simple OpenGL apps developed by the students in Python ?
| |
| 17:13 | <petre> not sure
| |
| 17:14 | NewIrish has joined #ltsp | |
| 17:14 | <tjpp> We will have a cluster for numerical applications but not for graphics
| |
| 17:14 | <petre> although there are some teachers teaching python on the k12ltsp mailing list
| |
| 17:14 | you might ask there
| |
| 17:15 | <NewIrish> Hi folks, am wondering about how to enable local device support on various thin clients, old new etc.??
| |
| 17:15 | <petre> robark teaches python & uses ltsp; he's usually here on Sunday mornings
| |
| 17:15 | <tjpp> what time is now ? I am from Brazil :)
| |
| 17:16 | <petre> Sunday 5:15 Central Daylight Time, robark is in Pacific time zone (two hours behind)
| |
| 17:17 | <NewIrish> Gotta go, I'll be back soon!
| |
| 17:17 | NewIrish has left #ltsp | |
| 17:17 | <petre> I think Brazil is in same time zone (or two or three ;-) )

| |
| 19:50 | <ryudo_home> hi jammcq
| |
| 19:50 | i have few problems using ooo and firefox
| |
| 19:50 | the pixmaps cache issue
| |
| 19:51 | <jammcq> ok
| |
| 19:51 | <ryudo_home> do you know ? i suing ooo 2.4
| |
| 19:51 | and firefox 3 B5
| |
| 19:51 | Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC | |
| 19:51 | <ryudo_home> and the problem still :{
| |
| 19:51 | my terminals have 64 mb :(
| |
| 19:52 | <jammcq> 64mb probably isn't enough
| |
| 19:52 | you need to enable network swapping
| |
| 19:52 | with nbd
| |
| 19:53 | <ryudo_home> this dont solve :D
| |
| 19:53 | i icrease to 512mb
| |
| 19:53 | look this http://www.mille-xterm.org/en/Terminal_Memory_Usage
| |
| 19:53 | this is my problem
| |
| 19:53 | <jammcq> maybe you didn't specifiy it correctly
| |
| 19:54 | <ryudo_home> ogra say "use the ooo 2.4 and firefox 3beta, because this programs have a fix for pixmaps cache on clients"
| |
| 19:54 | but i test firefox 3 beta 5 and ooo 2.4 and problem continues
| |
| 19:54 | but using opera
| |
| 19:55 | opera work sooo fine :)
| |
| 19:55 | but ooo impress crash ALWAYS eheheeh :(
| |
| 19:55 | <jammcq> ok, so it's no surprise that Firefox is still using too much memory
| |
| 19:55 | can you try it with a client with more memory?
| |
| 19:55 | and.... are you sure you turned on network swapping correctly?
| |
| 19:56 | <ryudo_home> jim i make it:
| |
| 19:56 | vim /etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf
| |
| 19:56 | SIZE=512
| |
| 19:56 | correct ?
| |
| 19:56 | <jammcq> I think. but what did you put in lts.conf ?
| |
| 19:58 | <ryudo_home> i not on server now
| |
| 19:58 | :(
| |
| 19:59 | NBD_SWAP = Y correct ?
| |
| 20:00 | <jammcq> umm, I dunno
| |
| 20:00 | it's been a long time since I worked on that
| |
| 20:00 | perhaps one of the other LTSP guys can help
| |
| 20:01 | <ryudo_home> NBD_SWAP=True
| |
| 20:01 | humm ok no problem :D
| |
| 20:01 | <jammcq> i think "True" and "Y" are both correct
| |
| 20:01 | <ryudo_home> thx for you help
| |
| 20:01 | :D
| |
| 20:05 | * petre notes that his lts.conf says 'NBD_SWAP = Y' | |
| 20:08 | <warren> petre: NBD swap AFAIK isn't implemented in K12 yet
| |
| 20:08 | petre: so the option does nothing at the moment
| |
| 20:09 | <jammcq> well, the question is.... what distro is ryudo_home using?

| |
| 20:12 | <warren> petre: yeah, need to install event-compat-sysv in the chroot
| |
| 20:12 | petre: I'm trying to make it happen automatically with a dependency because it is really a core OS bug
| |
| 20:13 | <petre> a bug in f9, do you mean?

| 20:17 | petre: initscripts or something else core should depend on event-compat-sysv because it doesn't work at all without it.

| |
| 20:53 | <eharrison> warren: I can delegate to dyoung, but you claim he is the one that agreed that I should get out of bed at 6:00am today (revenge is sweet ;-)
| |
| 20:54 | <warren> eharrison: he didn't volunteer you, he volunteered himself to wake up that early for meetings

| |
| 20:57 | <petre> 9am CDT = 7am PDT
| |
| 20:58 | * jammcq wonders if eharrison is using the old zoneinfo files | |
| 20:58 | <petre> or do you need 10 min to make coffee, + 60 min to take effect?
| |
| 20:58 | <eharrison> okay, maybe I'm off an hour (proof that I do not do well in the early morning)
| |
| 20:58 | <warren> sounds like he needs a more direct to blood stream method of caffeine infusion
| |
| 20:59 | snorting?
