<vlt>
generic: ubuntu and kubuntu are abs(the same). The onyl difference I know is the desktop environment *that is installed by default*. You can easily turn every ubuntu installation into kubuntu (and vice versa -- or even both ;)
02:09
<generic>
vlt thats true but if i go for ltsp implementation on large scale say 100 pcs then ubuntu is stable or kubuntu
02:09
and also i want 2 ltsp servers for failover
02:12
<johnny>
i think ubuntu proper gets more attention
02:12
desktop wise
02:12* johnny sees it's 3am
02:12
<johnny>
night
02:13
<generic>
yes exactly
02:13
well ubuntu updates quickly ?
02:15
<vlt>
generic: updates what? security fixes? kubuntu uses mostly the same packages.

hello, have anybody encountered a problem with Cisco managed switches with LTSP ?
07:41Guaraldo has joined #ltsp
07:43
<ghaleb>
I have a problem in booting clients using cisco switches due to spanning tree protocol, any explanation ?
07:44
<nantes_geek>
ghaleb: it's between a 1gb and a 100mb ethernet network ?
07:45
<ghaleb>
nantes_geek, all are in 100mb ethernet
07:47
<nantes_geek>
ok
07:48
<ghaleb>
nantes_geek, the strange thing, after I shutdown the protocol, everything run very good normally
07:49
<nantes_geek>
ghaleb: the spamming tree is a bridge protocol no ?
07:49
<ghaleb>
nantes_geek, it prevents loops
07:51
nantes_geek, I think, the protocol drops some packets .. trying to act smart!

Hi using 4.2 bootup stops at "input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0" - any ideas?
11:14
<johnny>
only a few folks here use 4.2
11:14pscheie has quit IRC
11:14
<johnny>
or any 4.x version
11:14
so you're prolly gonna have to wait
11:14
or post to the list
11:16
<MRH2>
i'll checkout 5 in the meantime
11:16
do the tarballs have to use nbd
11:17
<johnny>
there are no tarballs for 5 are there?
11:17
you're supposed to build it from your distro
11:17
<MRH2>
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DownLoads#Ltsp_5_on_Other_distributions
11:18
<johnny>
those are all too old
11:18
i wouldn't use them
11:18
<MRH2>
any new ones about?
11:18
<johnny>
you're going to have bugs that nobody will fix
11:18
no
11:18
as i said, use your distro to build the chroot
11:18
ltsp-build-client
11:18
<MRH2>
centos
11:18
<johnny>
if you want rpm, i think you hve to use fedora9 for now
11:19
i'm not sure if it will be backported
11:19
oh.. or kiwi-ltsp , which is for suse
11:19
ubuntu/debian has the best ltsp5 support
11:20
<MRH2>
i'm not a big fan
11:20
<-ducks
11:20
<johnny>
then you must wait i'm guessing
11:20
until warren stabilizes ltsp5 on fedora9
11:20
then i assume somebody can do backprots
11:20
backports*
11:21
<MRH2>
is there an rpm about for fedora I can try?
11:21
<warren>
MRH2: it's in fedora 9
11:21
<johnny>
rpms.. yes.. even instructions
11:21
aha.. there you are :)
11:21
howdy warren
11:21
did i say something wrong?
11:21
<MRH2>
oh in the distro itself
11:22
i'll have a lookse
11:22
<warren>
MRH2: https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/
11:23
<johnny>
warren, do you have one of those irc bot commands i can use?
11:23
i forgot what the syntax is for this one
11:23
<MRH2>
thanx i'll give it a look
11:23
<johnny>
ltspbot: debian
11:23
<ltspbot>
johnny: "debian" is is a GNU/Linux based operating system that makes an excellent LTSP server. You can find it at http://www.debian.org. for information about LTSP on debian see http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP
11:23
<warren>
I have no idea how this IRC bot works.
11:23
<johnny>
ltspbot:fedora
11:23
ltspbot: fedora
11:23
<ltspbot>
johnny: Error: "fedora" is not a valid command.
11:24
<johnny>
warren, get vagrantc to tell you how to add fedora to that
11:24
<MRH2>
do you guys thing there is going to be new tarballs out - especially seeing as there is a new ubuntu out this week?
11:24* sutula suggests opening a dialog window with ltspbot and experimenting there yourself
11:24
<johnny>
no
11:24
<MRH2>
fair enough
11:24* johnny ignores that
11:25
<johnny>
ltsp-build-client is fast enough i think
11:25viking-ice has quit IRC
11:25
<johnny>
and it can be used from the cd possibly
11:25
i imagine fedora will be able to do the same thing
11:25
<warren>
yes, but not yet
11:25
<johnny>
which is just as good as using it from the tarball
11:25
better even
11:26
<warren>
after I push this bug fix, the main drawback of fedora vs. ubuntu LTSP is the lack of coreboot support
11:26
which I'm fixing next
11:26
then there's a pile of minor annoyances
11:27
<johnny>
coreboot ?

hello, thin clients are unable to boot up if they are connected to a cisco switch running spanning tree protocol, any explanation
11:57
?
11:58
<johnny>
no idea
11:58
no cisco crap here
11:59
<ghaleb>
I have tired many ... it seems that the spanning tree protocol drops sth
12:00
<johnny>
better fix your router
12:00
<ghaleb>
I see .. thank you, but, what router ?
12:00
<johnny>
switch
12:01
whatever
12:01
<ghaleb>
yeah I see ..
12:01
<warren>
I wish I could find a proper power supply for the thincan
12:01
I can't be sure if the weird crashes I have are power related
12:01mikkel has joined #ltsp
12:01
<ghaleb>
warren, what kind of crashes ?
12:03
<warren>
well, I found a 12V @ 2A which is closer to what I need
12:03
trying it now

i have an ldapserver/ltspserver sandobx in which getent passwd getent group id someuser all seem fine as well as all ldap tools..but su someuser or attempt to chown implies no such user..ive checked nsswqitch,conf and /etc/pam.d and see nothing wrong..any ideas?
12:32

Q-FUNK: I'm also seeing periodic complete system deadlocks on the thincan
12:36Skarmeth has joined #ltsp
12:42
<Gadi>
cliebow: is the error no such user or that you are missing a homedir for that user?
12:43
<cliebow>
unknown id
12:43
cannot get the login group of a numeric UID
12:43
\
12:43
with chown
12:44
trying to chown so perms for homedir are ok ;-]
12:47
<Gadi>
ah, close the shell and open it again
12:47
<cliebow>
ohh? give it a whirl 8~)
12:48
<Gadi>
then, make sure that the UIDs returned by getent are proper
12:48
also, it seems it may be your *group* that is wrong
12:48
try a different group id
12:48
or make sure the group is in getent group
12:48
if the group has multiple words, remember to use quotes
12:48
<cliebow>
ok..ill expt with that...thanks a heap..

Warren, are you able to get a shell with fedora-ltsp5? ctrl-alt-Fx does weird stuff for me.
22:13
<warren>
pntz: what chipsets?
22:13
pntz: some video drivers are incapable of VT switching
22:13
<pntz>
hmm...might be s3. I have to check
22:13
<warren>
s3 is one video card I don't have on any of my thin clients
22:14
pntz: are you using my latest stuff in F9?
22:14
<pntz>
nope, F8
22:14
<warren>
I haven't updated the F8 version in a while, I should do that soon.
22:17mccann has joined #ltsp
22:17
<pntz>
ok maybe I build an F9. can you chroot into th eclient and yum install things?
22:25
I guess it's a SIS not s3. It's an old hp t5000.
22:27BGomes has joined #ltsp

If it matters, this could vt switch with ltsp 4.1 and 4.2.
22:31
Keep up the good work warren....

good day warren

I wish they would actually follow the directions I written
22:49
he's comparing X from 4 years ago to today's X
22:49
when NOBODY uses the s3 chip
22:49
so the driver is likely buggy now
22:49
<johnny>
need some sort of warehouse where people test the drivers :)
22:50
with every graphics card :)
22:50
every wifi card..
22:50
<warren>
open source works by people testing what they care about
22:50
nobody cared about s3
22:50
<johnny>
except the users who have it :)

really?
23:00
whatcha got for us today?
23:01
<vagrantc>
nothing major ... just merged add_fstab_entry and remove_fstab_entry into a single script
23:01
for the users of debian etch, i've got backports of ltsp and ltspfs, and ldm soon.

vagrantc, what counts as common?
23:25hari has quit IRC
23:25

i think that needs to be reorganized a bit..
23:25
since i'm going to have to override it too

23:27hari has quit IRC
23:27
<vagrantc>
ah, the plugin
23:27
<johnny>
it's not very common
23:27
since everybody overrides it :)
23:27
<vagrantc>
johnny: give me more details when you're asking questions :P
23:27hari has joined #ltsp
23:27
<johnny>
i see it in every distro plugin directory
23:28
<vagrantc>
johnny: sure, eveyone overrides it ... but it at least provides an example ... the fedora one is clearly derived from it.
23:28
in the end, i think we'll want vendor-specific functions for that stuff that have a common namespace.

ogra, warren, dberkholz, johnny, cyberorg: i'm hoping to tag a new version of ldm in the next hour or so.
23:48
adds 3 translations over the last version, plus the Xsession stuff for gentoo and opensuse
23:48
<johnny>
cool
23:48
now.. when can we get some tarballs hosted some place official
23:48
<vagrantc>
heh
23:48
baby steps.
23:48
<johnny>
what is exactly the problem?
23:48* vagrantc is happy to have version numbers
23:48
<johnny>
what are we babystepping toward?
23:48
i obviously don't know that part of the conversation
23:49
other than just throwing some tarballs based on these tags?
23:49
<vagrantc>
the only issue i see at this point is which distro determines which makefiles go in the tarball
23:49
i guess the simple answer is whoever tagged it.
23:49
<johnny>
makefiles ?
23:49
everything works as is from the repo for me
23:50
<vagrantc>
well, the process of releasing a tarball actually calls automake and generates the makefiles
23:50
<johnny>
the current makefiles are fine tho?
23:51
<vagrantc>
the makefiles don't come from revision control, they come from whatever distro you happen to be building on
23:51
<johnny>
sure.. i just run ./autogen
23:51
<vagrantc>
right
23:51
<johnny>
no big deal?
23:52
<vagrantc>
hopefully not, but it could be weird to have Makefiles in each version generated from a different set of autotools and freinds
