Hi, I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and executed ltsp-build-client, then I get the following error:
02:20
E: Couldn't find package xubuntu-artwork-usplash
02:20
error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally
02:20
what should I do now?

hiya how i make sure our terminals recognise usb devices, it would be great if it popup on their desktops
04:18
we use edubuntu 7.10
04:22
<laga>
it should work out of the box
04:24
<primary>
i know but it does not
04:26
so any tips
04:26
<laga>
primary: wait for ogra, he knows everything

hi qfunk I still have the issue wrt resolution on amd terminals
04:28
is the new driver available yet

ogra: it appears that LTSP scripts don't know about -geode. they only find -amd. can this be fixed?
05:13
ogra: X itself doesn't seem to know about either one. launching X on a standalone host without xorg.conf reverts to -vesa.

<jonkke>
is there any way to publish some file to all users desktops? like in windows "all users/desktop" folder
05:52
i know i can make sript that copies it to everyones desktop, but that doesn't feel right choice.
05:58
<vlt>
jonkke: I do it this way: A script creates a *symlink* to the file on every user's desktop and in /etc/skel/Desktop/ (for new users).
06:00
<jonkke>
i thought something like that too. i just think that it's weird that linux don't have this kind functionality.
06:08slipttees has joined #ltsp
06:09
<vlt>
jonkke: Yes, I thought that too several times. Now I think this is no linux issue but rather DE related.
06:12
<jonkke>
DE related?
06:16
<vlt>
jonkke: sorry, Desktop Environment.

<ogra>
Q-FUNK, ltsp just uses what X -configure generates, our scripts are dumb sed replacers ....
07:04
<Nubae>
I figured out what the busybox signal with can't create /rofs means.... It's cause I had my adsl router plugged straight into the hub... Even if dhcp is turned off on it, still interferes
07:04
amazing
07:06
so the RC setup as per ltspquickinstall works fine
07:07
<ogra>
great
07:07
<Q-FUNK>
ogra: odd. X fails to recognize -amd on a standalone workstation, but it works in LTSP. -geode works on neither one.
07:09
<ogra>
Q-FUNK, a standalone workstation uses dexconf
07:09
<Q-FUNK>
great, so instead of letting X do its job, we have this done 2 different wyas?
07:10
<ogra>
we dropped using dpkg-recofigure with dexconf because it pulls the whole debconf db over the net which slows booting down majorly
07:10
<Q-FUNK>
ok
07:10
so what you're saying is that dexconf doesn't know about -amd or -geode?
07:10
<ogra>
either dexconf or something hardcoded in the dexconf script that gets called
07:11
*either debconf
07:11
<Q-FUNK>
ok
07:11
<ogra>
i would suspect the latter
07:11
dexconf is an evil beast
07:12slipttees has quit IRC
07:15
<Q-FUNK>
(15:11:53) Q-FUNK: guys, could it be that dexconf doesn't know about -amd or -geode? launching without xorg.conf systematically reverts to -vesa.
07:15
(15:12:17) tjaalton: dexconf doesn't need to know
07:15
(15:12:26) tjaalton: it's the server
07:15
(15:12:54) Q-FUNK: server misses magic to pick -amd?
07:15
(15:12:59) tjaalton: yep
07:15
<ogra>
why would it work with X -cofigure then ?
07:16
test it yourself :)
07:16
<Q-FUNK>
beats me
07:16
Hardy's X doesn't have the amd vendor magic to associate the chip with the driver.
07:17
<ogra>
Xorg -configure -novtswitch :1
07:17
that wil create an xorg.conf..new in ./
07:19
<Q-FUNK>
can you come to #ubuntu-x ?
07:20
we're trying to eliminate all the possibilites, with tjaalton

<daduke>
ogra: howdy! our users a really creative. Not only did they find the X auth bug, now one of them told me that you can stream on other ppl's thin clients. And indeed, if you enter a thin client's IP address in xmms' eSound plugin config you can redirect sound to that machine. bug or feature?

ltsp 5 marche tjrs pas?
07:45
<nantes_geek>
pas avec la mandriva
07:45
j'ai un affichage X
07:46
<ogra>
daduke, neither ... its a fallout of using pulse as a plain esd drop in replacement you can restrict access to the server IP that would give you some restriction but not really solve the prob
07:46
<nantes_geek>
mais un ctrl+alt+backspace fige
07:50Nubae has quit IRC
07:52
<daduke>
ogra: we do not exactly consider it a 'problem', but the paranoid might flinch nonetheless. Far less severe than the X thing of course.
07:53
<ogra>
with pulse as the backend its safer than esd ... but still uses the same setup
07:53
its a half hearted compromise that i'd like to solve at some point
07:54* ogra is just writing an intrepid (8.10) spec for ltsp sound fixes that also includes proper capture support
07:55
<ogra>
the prob is rwally that pulse itself doesnt offer sufficient ways to lock down access here
07:55
we need to put something on top (like we do with teh mcookie for ltspfs)

is there a way to obtain the config-2.6.20.9-ltsp-1 file? its corresponding LTSP kernel is downloadable and it works finely but the config file never has been made publicly available. :/
08:26CrypTom has quit IRC
08:27
<cliebow>
Mikaku, i believe it was includied in a 4.2 initrd-kit
08:29
<Mikaku>
cliebow: 4.2 initrd-kit? where is that file?
08:30
<cliebow>
lemme look in wiki.ltsp.org

08:33
<Mikaku>
cliebow: thanks anyway
08:34
<cliebow>
k..somewhere i have a hard copy..
08:36
Mikaku, Within the lbe/ltsp_kernel_kit directory is a .config file for a 2.6.16.1 kernel. Download the sources for that kernel from ftp.kernel.org.
08:37
<Mikaku>
cliebow: yeah i know this, but the most recent config on there is 2.6.17.9 and it's a lot different of the 2.6.20.9
08:37
that's whay i requested for the 2.6.20.9
08:38
i dont know why it exists the 2.6.20.9 kernel but not its config file
08:38
maybe someone removed accidentally
08:38
<cliebow>
umm..that is ltsp5?
08:38
<Mikaku>
nop ... ltsp42 ;P
08:39
<cliebow>
ill ask jammcq when i "see" him
08:40* cliebow cliebow is strill using 2.6.16.1
08:40
<Mikaku>
cliebow: yeah, maybe he still has this config file in his devel box and he forgot to upload it
08:41
cliebow: I'm using 2.6.20.9 and it works finely
08:41
<cliebow>

ogra: do you know specifically what kind of "acceleration" in newer adobe flash plugins is causing the network slowdown?
09:23
opengl?
09:23
threading?
09:23
<ogra>
no iea what that gui option swiches, no
09:23
gimme the source and i'll tel you :P
09:23
<warren>
there is a gui option?
09:24
<ogra>
its only a gui option afaik
09:24
right click n a flash movie
09:24
its in the settings frm the context menu
09:24
<warren>
oh "Enable hardware acceleration"
09:24
do you know what version introduced this slow down?
09:25
<ogra>
but there seems to be no commandline or config file option for it
09:25
i just recently headr that fixes the slowdown, i have users moaning since gutsy
09:25
might be a general vers. 9.x thing
09:26
<warren>
that checkbox *does* make it faster over the network?
09:26
ogra: does the latest Ubuntu use pulse by default?
09:26
<ogra>
according to some users that have talked to me, yes
09:27
warren, we're still fiddling ...
09:27
<warren>
that means you might turn it off?
09:27
<ogra>
looks like we have a setup that forces dmix upon flash while using pulse for all the rest
09:27
<warren>
wow
09:27
<ogra>
not sure that wil make it in during the next two days though
09:27
<warren>
but otherwise pusleaudio is default?
09:27
<ogra>
yes
09:28
<warren>
pulseaudio by default and ALSA is routed to pulse?
09:28
I'm trying to ask Adobe to release their ALSA sound output from their plugin into a tiny test app under a BSD license
09:28
so people can diagnose why it doesn't work with pulse ALSA
09:28
<ogra>
no, pulse by default and everything not using gstreamer or pulse goes to dmix as i understood that
09:28
<warren>
they did release it before, but it is old now.
09:29
oh.
09:29
<ogra>
but i'm really not sure that wil make it in
09:30
its a proposed fix for the issue by an alsa upstream guy
09:30
<cliebow>
Connection ":1.15" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file'
09:30
?
09:31
<warren>
the proposed fix forces dmix?
09:31
<ogra>

09:46

i'll tag it later today

ogra: vagrantc: how well audited is lbmount?
09:53
eharrison noticed this past weekend that we weren't setuiding it
09:53
our security guys will freak out adding a setuid binary now
09:53captain_magnus has quit IRC
09:54
<vagrantc>
warren: i can't speak to how well audited it is
09:54
warren: i believe it's been audited by ubuntu's security team, but i don't know for sure.
09:54
<ogra>
it has
09:55captain_magnus has joined #ltsp
09:55
<ogra>
main inclusion in ubuntu means that i have to list s/guid binaries and that the package gets a full security team review
09:57
(as well as packaging, fhs etc reviews)
10:02
<vagrantc>
warren: and no offense to eharrison, but i think i actually figured out that y'all needed it setuid root :)
10:02
<warren>
vagrantc: oh ok.
10:02
vagrantc: thanks =)
10:03
<vagrantc>
did a little troubleshooting with eharrison to figure that out...
10:03
and i could've sworn it was dejavu
10:04
i think we might have figured it out in the hackfest in portland a while back
10:04
<warren>
vagrantc: so with the current ltspfs-trunk I need to plug my USB stick in before I login?
10:04
<vagrantc>
warren: shouldn't have to
10:05
warren: it should kick in at both insertion time and login.
10:05
<warren>
what would your udev changes enable then?
10:05
<ogra>
auth
10:06
<vagrantc>
warren: cleanliness of code ... not starting ltspfsd and cdpinger from ltsp init scripts, but rather when the devices are present that actually need those features.
10:06
<ogra>
oh, you are talking about different patches
10:06
<vagrantc>
yes, those still haven't been applied
10:06
<ogra>
i'm all for it
10:07
let daemons die :)
10:08
<vagrantc>
i've gotten the code working, but i'm not confident it's good code.
10:08
<ogra>
YAY !
10:08
ltspfs accepted (even without discussion, apart from the question why there is dpatch :) )
10:08
<cliebow>
:-0
10:09

and my fixes to the --kiosk plugin got in as well

yeah

10:22
mounts appear to not be working

ogra's probably more familiar with the nitty-gritty details.

so we're ready for X12 any day now.

10:29
<ogra>
warren, well, gvfs and gnomevfs both have an inotify monitor for /media and ususally show changes in that dir on the desktop if the user has read access
10:29
<vagrantc>
i really was pushing for iceweasel-webbrowser when there was a renaming discussion.
10:30
<warren>
oh, I wonder if it doesn't show changes there because we aren't authed with CK
10:30
<vagrantc>
this CK thing sounds like a pain. i mean, i guess it's supposed to fix lots of things... but ugh.
10:37
<ogra>
its immature
10:38
<warren>
and you incorporated a patch to sshd for an immature technology that upstream sshd had huge technical and license complaints?
10:38
=)
10:39
<ogra>
a technology that we use all over the desktop (you too)
10:40
<warren>
ooh
10:40
it mounted and popped up on my desktop
10:40
although it didn't work during login, had to do it after login
10:41
vagrantc: ogra: does the microphone work for your pulseaudio on clients as well?
10:41
<ogra>
thats a delayed-mounter prob then
10:41
warren, nope
10:42
the config doesnt have any capture setup
10:42
so if it works, then only by accident
10:42
i have one usb headset where it works
10:42
matter of luck :)
10:42
<warren>
sweet, auto-mount and network sound both work
10:42
<ogra>
the sund setup needs a major overhaul, but forst pulse needs a proper auth mechanism we can use for that
10:43
ip based auth is totally moot if all your users come from the same ip
10:43
<warren>
heh
10:43
<ogra>
it needs to use LTSPFS_TOKEN :)
10:43
which we then need to rename :)
10:45
<vagrantc>
warren: haven't tried the mic much, if at all
10:47
ogra: the cd-naming-regression had nothing to do with starting from udev :)
10:47
mainly because cdpinger isn't yet started from udev ...
10:47
<ogra>
where does cdpinger get called from atm ?
10:48
<vagrantc>
one of the ltsp-client init scripts
10:48
<ogra>
cdpinger takes the first argument as device name
10:48
hmm
10:48
right
10:48
<vagrantc>
ogra: not saying your patch is invalid, just the changelog entry describing it is a bit off
10:49
<ogra>
yeah
10:50
well, my patch is a workaround
10:50
the right fix should use numbering for the cdrom device
10:50
currently that only supports one builtin CD
10:51
(actually i dont think the code for suporting more worked at all anyway)

bricode: would you mind coming over to #xorg-devel and following up on launchpad #214119 ? we're trying to determine how fast a cure is needed and which one works on Koolu hardware.
12:22
<bricode>

hey folks
12:36
are you using pulseaudio to remote sound?
12:38
<warren>
mccann: yeah, that's how it works on F-9, Debian, ubuntu, etc.
12:38
<mccann>
thanks warren
12:38
<ogra>
well, only as the backend (in case of ubuntu)
12:38
<warren>
mccann: why?
12:38
<ogra>
we use virtual alsa device through asoundrc
12:38
<mccann>
just curious how you did sound and the wiki seems to be out of date
12:38
<ogra>
(in the session)
12:39
<warren>
mccann: ltsp.org is the worst place to look currently for documentation...
12:39
<ogra>
which then connects to pulse on the clent, so apps in the session just need tio use alsa
12:39
<mccann>
warren: is there a better place for docs?
12:39
<warren>
mccann: nothing centralized

ogra, is gksu still being used where required?
13:07
in hardy
13:07
i'm subscribed to sabayon bugs in ubuntu, and one just came in the other day
13:07
i updated my ubuntu virtualbox, and the sabayon.desktop is missing gksu now
13:07
<ogra>
only if its set in eh .desktop file
13:08
<johnny>
it needs to be
13:08
somebody didn't update the previous patch to the src
13:08
for the deb
13:08
<ogra>
tag the bug for 8.04.1 then
13:09
<johnny>
it will not work at all atm tho?
13:09
<ogra>
ah, well, gimme the bug number, i'll try my luck ... even though its very unlikely to get it through at this point
13:10
<johnny>
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sabayon/+bug/219790
13:10
it just needs gksu prefixed
13:10

thx
13:10

how is it ever ok to put out a non working program? :(
13:10

what about the xnest issue entioned there ?
13:11
*mentioned
13:11

johnny: you can't really postpone the release just for one tool :)
13:11
<johnny>
laga, i didn't say postpone the release
13:11
i mean apply the fix
13:11
that makes it work
13:11
that is only 5 characters

13:12

johnny: yeah, but the archives are frozen.
13:12
but i think they're not hard frozen yet
13:12
<johnny>
might as well take it out of the release all together
13:12

at least i hope that, i'm preparing a feature freeze exception ;)

no, but the queue is ful

wed. i was told
13:13
but we'll start CD builds tomorrow very likely
13:13

ogra: wed morning or night?
13:13

so everything that doesnt fix a CD blocker wont get in i guess
13:14
tomorrow rather
13:14
<laga>
ugh
13:15

laga, your prob wont be the upload, be sure ... your prob wil rather be to find someone to look at the changes
13:15

ogra: superm1 can ack FFes for anything mythbuntu*, so i'm fine
13:16

ah, its universe stuff ?

yes
13:16

thats easier then
13:16

i 've only done universe/multiverse so far

all is fine if you use gksu

johnny, hmm, the patch is there and didnt change, did anything change in the way sabayon generates .desktop from .desktop.in ?
13:51
<johnny>
yes
13:51
i mentioned it somewhere in a bug report
13:51
we don't have gnomesu by default
13:51
so s/gnomesu/gksu/ or the equiv will not work
13:52
<ogra>
no, i mean the generation from .desktop out f .desktopin
13:52
<johnny>
oh.. yeah
13:52
<ogra>
th epatch patches .desktop.in
13:52
<johnny>
desktop.in.in desktop.in
13:52
desktop
13:52
<ogra>
but that doesnt seem to apply
13:52
EEEK !!!
13:52

don't ask me
13:53

people creating .in.in foles deserve a painful death, really

cuz i bugged federico to add support for X-GNOME-Bugzilla

bah

it just easy to overlook

the source of lots of bugs
13:57

so the person who did this patch, didn't test his builds before recomending to hardy?

cdimage.ubuntu.com is slow.

yeah

rsync what?

the daily cd

warren, i don't know anybody who knows much about rpms.. what's the deal with making an f9 rpm run on el4 ?
15:49
is it possible?
15:50
<warren>
johnny: you need a EL4 buildroot to do it
15:50
<johnny>
lame
15:50
<warren>
assuming the spec file and BuildRequires are compatible on EL4
15:50
johnny: the libraries and everything are totally different
15:50
<johnny>
i'm having trouble finding ejabberd 2.0 rpms for el4 :(
15:50
and the requisite erlang ebuild
15:50
err rpm
15:51
<warren>
hah
15:51
<johnny>
well it works great on my gentoo server.. that's all i know
15:51
not sure why this is a problem :(
15:51
<warren>
erlang is in EPEL-4
15:51
no ejabberd
15:52
<johnny>
EPEL ?
15:52
<warren>
just search google
15:52
<johnny>
no help so far
15:52
<warren>
johnny: huge repository add-on for EL4
15:52
johnny: see if you can find a ejabberd .src.rpm for fc3
15:52
fc3 roughly equivalent with EL4
15:52
it might work
15:52
<johnny>
aha
15:53
that's good to know
15:53
<warren>
fc3 ~ EL4
15:53
fc6 ~ EL5
15:53
<johnny>
i haven't touched an rpm based distro since redhat6
15:53
<warren>
wow
15:53
<johnny>
shied away ever since
15:54
i need to figure out how to disable this annoying firefox ssl warning
15:54
it is out of hand
15:55justme____ has joined #ltsp
15:55
<johnny>
doing stuff with gentoo is waay easier for me
15:56* warren finds that totally backwards, but OK =)
15:56
<warren>
ogra: the ltspfs device icons on your GNOME desktop, did you manage to get right-click Unmount to work?
15:57
<ogra>
warren, i had a patch for gnomevfs to hide the option
15:57
<warren>
haha
15:57
<ogra>
but didnt make it to port it to gvfs
15:57
<warren>
oh, latest Ubuntu uses gvfs?
15:58
<ogra>
what upstream uses
15:58
<warren>
what GNOME version is it?
15:59
<ogra>
2.22.1
15:59
<warren>
ah
16:14
<dberkholz>
warren: gentoo may be source-based, but the package manager is quite nice. particularly for someone who stopped using redhat before yum existed..
16:18
<johnny>
making an ebuild is much simpler than packaging a deb..
16:18
or rpm it seems
16:19
dberkholz, i got agaffney to fix something like a showstopper bug for me
16:19
<dberkholz>
johnny: what was it?
16:19
<johnny>
damn thing was unmounting the swap partition :)
16:19
when it finished
16:20
which of course.. a few compiles later, made me go OOM
16:20
when running vbox
16:20
2GB - 512mb vbox - compiling = -0
16:21
oh. and running apps..
16:21
<dberkholz>
that's weird
16:21
i suppose if it generally expects to run on the same system it's installing to, it makes more sense
16:22
<johnny>
now he records what he does, an then reverses it
16:22
so it shouldn't be a problem
16:22
<dberkholz>
sounds like a much better plan
16:22
<johnny>
there's only one annoyance left
16:22
that is .. until openrc is in a stage3..
16:23
and that is that ${arch} is not available for use in chroot_dir :(
16:23
trying to get that solved after i finish up my current task
16:38slidesinger has quit IRC
16:41
<dberkholz>
johnny: have you tried building a custom stage3 using ~arch stuff including openrc?
16:41
johnny: we can do that, and get it onto the experimental/ directory of mirrors
16:42
<johnny>
we need a stage4 or binaries.. more so than
16:42
it's easier to stick with baselayout 1.x to start with, since quickstart makes modifications based on that
16:42
and then the openrc install takes care of the upgrades
16:44
<dberkholz>
yeah. we don't really have a great framework in place on the mirrors for distributing binaries
16:44
there are places that we can put binpkgs, but not high bandwidth
16:44
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/ for example
16:49
<johnny>
the biggest issue is xorg, and the kernels
16:49
otherwise.. the install would be pretty quick
16:51
<dberkholz>
i've got a guy who's going to be working on things similar to stage4's for summer of code. i'm hoping we can learn from that experience and apply it to ltsp
16:51
<johnny>
link to the proposal?

anyone know if there are plans for new ltsp-5 tarball images?
17:01
<ogra>
MRH2, you should rather see to get it included in your distro, thats the ltsp5 way
17:02
there might be tarballs at some point, but generally ltsp5 is all about distro integration
17:02
<MRH2>
yes that would be nice but centos/redhat ain't exactly desktop focussed
17:03
<ogra>
fedora will be the next distro to have it included , there is massive work going on to get that done

would that work with centos 5?

i can slack a lot during a release cycle if i want, nobody really cotrols my work hours or so as long as in the end my work gets delivered ... its only some hot spots during a release where i have to do that
17:18
(ineed i work more hours than i' supposed to though)
17:19
i wouldnt want to miss the adrenaline and excitement the last ten days befoe a release :) even though its exhausting its also addicting ;)

not that it matters to me personally
17:32
i know how to make it work :)
17:33

well, you are subscribed to the bugs :)
17:33
<johnny>
but i'm sure the users will be slightly happier
17:33
<ogra>
yeah
17:33
and it will produce less noise
17:33
<johnny>
did you comment on the bug?
17:34
<ogra>
no
17:34
hmm
17:34
crap and my first upoad was buggy, the second doesnt have the LP: entry for autoclosing
17:34* ogra goes to close manuall
17:34
<ogra>
y
17:35
<johnny>
ok.. i concede.. openfire isn't going to cut it
17:35
binary installer ftw
17:35
of ejabberd
17:36
<ogra>
jabber probs ?
17:37
i know someone who is deep into jabber servers, but he's not online atm ... (will be back during european workhours tomorrow)
17:38
<stgraber>
johnny: isn't openfire that java based jabber server I tried long ago ? which a pretty web UI but not much feature
17:38
<johnny>
it has more features now
17:38
but.. it's bosh implementation is broken
17:38
it got a gsoc application accepted
17:39
and is schedule to be solved in q3 sometime
17:39
but.. i can't wait for that crap
17:39
ejabberd has more useful features for me atm
17:39
except for transports
17:39
openfire does a better job with the transports
17:39
they are all integrated
17:39
and written in java
17:40
in ejabberd, you have to manually edit the config file, and run seperate services
17:40
most especially for AIM
17:40
<stgraber>
oh, things seem to have changed a lot since I last tried it :) IIRC it didn't have transport at all last I tried
17:46
<johnny>
but
17:46
it's still lacking one i need for my own stuff
17:46
vhost support!
17:47
<stgraber>
hmm, indeed the lack of vhost support can be a problem :)
17:54
<johnny>
before the whole open sourcing thing happen
17:54
ed*
17:54
they explained that most of the people who requested vhost support were users of the free version
17:54
so it wasn't high priority
