| 03:16 | <ogra> cyberorg, doesnt opensuse have hibernate ?
| |
| 03:16 | <cyberorg> ogra, yes it does
| |
| 03:16 | <ogra> so if someone wants to use a hibernated laptop to test a thn client env you would wipe his hibernated session
| |
| 03:17 | (using mkswap from initramfs)
| |
| 03:18 | not a good idea imho
| |
| 03:18 | <cyberorg> ogra, i was replying to <warren> RUN_MKSWAP=true <warren> why would you want it to not run mkswap?
| |
| 03:18 | <ogra> aha
| |
| 03:19 | Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp | |
| 03:19 | <cyberorg> nothing about the idea, but someone may prefer not tu run mkswap from nbdswapd and let initrd do it
| |
| 03:19 | <ogra> oh, he was eferring to nbdswapd, i see
| |
| 03:20 | well, for the above reasons :)
| |
| 03:20 | <cyberorg> :)
| |
| 03:20 | <ogra> mkswap in nbdswapd actually only runs mkswap on a temporary swapfile on the server
| |
| 03:21 | its pretty dedicated to only this :)
| |
| 03:22 | (and ubuntu uses nbdswapd extensively btw, we have a mechanism that automatically requests nbd swap if your client has less than 48M to make sure they boot properly)
| |
| 03:22 | <cyberorg> ogra, yes, we can have mkswap run on nbd mounted swap device from initrd it desired too, i've added your code to our initrd that does the same :)
| |
| 03:23 | detects less ram and activates swap, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work, it creates the swap file on the server, but somehow fails to mount on the client
| |
| 03:23 | i'll get back to it later
| |
| 03:24 | <ogra> there was a debian bug with long discussion from the debian-edu folks about that issue, which is why we added the option first place
| |
| 03:24 | (to not blindly wipe swapspace)
| |
| 03:24 | vagrrant would know the bugnumber i guess
| |
| 03:25 | <cyberorg> ogra, i am using the same nbdswapd from upstream
| |
| 03:26 | xinetd must be culprit here
| |
| 03:26 | <ogra> likely
| |
| 03:26 | even though, can you see the nbd device ?
| |
| 03:26 | i could also imagine that you have an nbd version that simply doesnt support everything yet
| |
| 03:28 | <stgraber> ogra: Do you happen to know what sysadmin to ping for problems with servers over the weekend ? the QA team server has its HDD completely full so none of our websites work ...
| |
| 03:29 | <ogra> stgraber, wasnt there a #canonical-sysadmin channel on freenode ?
| |
| 03:29 | ah, yes there is
| |
| 03:29 | <stgraber> yes, but you never have someone responding during the weekend
| |
| 03:29 | <ogra> i'd try there
| |
| 03:30 | <cyberorg> yes nbd device is there
| |
| 03:30 | i am not in a hurry to fix that one yet :)
| |
| 03:31 | nbd-2.9.9
| |
| 03:33 | <ogra> 2.9.9 should be fine
| |
| 03:39 | stgraber, i pinged on an internal channel, lets see if there is more reaction
| |
| 03:40 | <stgraber> ogra: thanks
| |
| 03:47 | empiric has quit IRC | |

| 07:48 | <Q-FUNK> asac: seems we're finally in Debian/unstable. I just added my bit for the SRU to LP #214119. now, we'd need this to be sync'ed to hardy-proposed.
| |
| 07:53 | asac: of course, since I directly upload all fixes to Debian, silly me forgot to quote the relevant LP bug.
| |
| 08:00 | <x1250> I'm reading the 4.2 documentation, but ubuntu doesn't have an inittab file, is there any docs related to this issue?
| |
| 08:00 | hardy has 5.0
| |
| 08:04 | gvy has quit IRC | |
| 08:05 | <x1250> the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/inittab file is a link to /tmp/inittab, but its broken
| |
| 08:05 | viking-ice_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:06 | <x1250> and /etc/inittab doesn't exist
| |
| 08:08 | <Q-FUNK> what are you trying to do with that file?
| |
| 08:08 | nowadays, most configuration is done in lst.conf
| |
| 08:08 | including to enable consoles

| 08:09 | <x1250> Q-FUNK: I really don't know yet (chapter 1, 4.2 documentation, tho using 5.0 on ubuntu)
| |
| 08:09 | is there any 5.0 documentation as complete as 4.2?
| |
| 08:12 | <Q-FUNK> there should be
| |
| 08:12 | 5.0 has been in use since... was it Gutsy?
| |
| 08:12 | or was it Feisty, even?

| 12:36 | <stgraber> x1250: there are some wiki pages, LTSP settings are exactly the same, only the way to install it defers
| |
| 12:39 | <x1250> stgraber: I have two pc's in here, one with the "LTSP installation" from alternate cd in ubuntu, and this one, which seems to have the same ltsp packages as the other pc. Oddly, in this pc I have nothing on /opt and the other one have /opt/ltsp. I wonder what I'm missing. Any clue?

| 12:42 | makghosh|afk has quit IRC | |
| 12:42 | Subhodip has quit IRC | |
| 12:42 | <stgraber> you probably have ran : ltsp-build-client on one and not on the other
| |
| 12:50 | <x1250> yep, I did and that was it, thanks
| |
| 12:57 | stgraber: sorry for bothering, is ltspfs package really needed? I ask because I really want to try a very basic installation. Is just ltsp-server enough for this?
| |
| 12:58 | <stgraber> ltspfs is needed if you want your USB keys, cdrom and other devices to work with LTSP
| |
| 12:58 | <x1250> stgraber: thanks
| |
| 13:13 | Nuba1 has left #ltsp | |
| 13:20 | <x1250> is /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list the sources.list used to install software inside ltsp? if so, software installed using /etc/apt/sources.list would not be "seen" by ltsp unless installed through chroot using /opt/.../sources.list, isn't this true?

| 14:34 | <x1250> are these packages really needed for a working ltsp? dhcp3-server, nfs-kernel-server
| |
| 14:34 | <johnny> no
| |
| 14:34 | <x1250> ok, thanks
| |
| 14:34 | <johnny> unless you don't have a dhcp server
| |
| 14:35 | <x1250> Uhm, I don't have one
| |
| 14:35 | <johnny> then you do need it
| |
| 14:35 | stop being so minimal.. make it work first..
| |
| 14:35 | <x1250> and nfs-kernel-server?
| |
| 14:35 | :)
| |
| 14:36 | <laga> on ubuntu, it's probably not needed.
| |
| 14:36 | <johnny> you only install stuff in the chroot for locally run apps
| |
| 14:36 | which is not most apps usually
| |
| 14:37 | <x1250> laga: yo mean nfs-kernel-server?
| |
| 14:37 | yo/you
| |
| 14:37 | <johnny> yes
| |
| 14:37 | <laga> yes.
| |
| 14:37 | <x1250> ok, I'll purge it then
| |
| 14:37 | <laga> btw, you get to keep both pieces if it breaks :)
| |
| 14:37 | <johnny> yeah
| |
| 14:37 | just make it work.. then worry about removing stuff
| |
| 14:38 | <x1250> ok

| 15:21 | <LTS1> x1250: Are you limited by system resources? Rather than trying to strip stuff out... I just got done installing Kubuntu 8.04 on a P3-733Mhz 384MB Ram 13GB HDD server and hooked a P2-233Mhz 64MB client to it. I've also loaded up Dansguardian (it's for the neighbors kids) - didn't want Edubuntu... If you've got the HDD space and are just worried about speed, start with Xubuntu and do the full LTSP install. (Ubuntu runs slower than K
| |
| 15:24 | By the way... I'd previously had 5.10 Kubuntu LTSP running on a P2-450Mhz 512MB ram for a couple of years (no not for games!) before migrating machines when I went to 6.10 Kubuntu (P4-2Ghz). This same P4-2Ghz is now running just Xubuntu 7.10 (no LTSP right now).
| |
| 15:30 | <x1250> LTS1: nope, I'm not limited on system resources. I just wanted the most basic setup so to learn how things work and how to extend funcionality if I want to do so. Its just I prefer it to be that way.
| |
| 15:30 | <johnny> then you'll prolly break stuff :)
| |
| 15:32 | <x1250> I found what I needed on QuickInstall file in ../doc/ltsp-server. I think it will work, but I see /etc/dhcpd.conf uses
| |
| 15:32 | option domain-name "example.com";
| |
| 15:32 | and I don't know yet if that would be correct for my setup
| |
| 15:33 | I'm using ubuntu.example.org as hostname
| |
| 15:38 | jammcq has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:40 | <johnny> ubuntu uses a file in /etc/ltsp
| |
| 15:40 | by default
| |
| 15:40 | for dhcp config
| |
| 15:43 | <x1250> yes. but it uses option domain-name "example.com"; too, and I don't know yet whats the purpose of that option
| |
| 15:48 | <johnny> you're supposed to change it
| |
| 15:48 | to whateger you wanna use
| |
| 15:48 | for your internal lan
| |
| 15:49 | i usually use .lan domains
| |
| 15:49 | some people use .local
| |
| 15:51 | <x1250> ok, I'll try tHAT
| |
| 15:51 | tHat/that :P
| |
| 15:53 | <vagrantc> in most cases, the domain name for the thin-clients is almost irrelevent.
| |
| 15:54 | <johnny> having fqdn is just something i do
| |
| 15:54 | always
| |
| 16:00 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
| 16:08 | <x1250> Uhm, I have a problem, the thin client getting my ISP's DHCP ip, so its not seeing my dhcp server. Is this a "newbie gotcha" of some type? :(
| |
| 16:08 | getting/is getting
| |
| 16:09 | <laga> are your thin clients connected to the same network as your WAN interface? scary
| |
| 16:11 | <x1250> laga: yes
| |
| 16:11 | <vagrantc> x1250: you probably have two DHCP servers running on the same network, most likely your router, and the LTSP server
| |
| 16:11 | <johnny> x1250, thus me asking if you were running a dhcp server earlier :)
| |
| 16:11 | <vagrantc> x1250: easiest way around that is to put two NICs in your server, and have a separate network for thin clients
| |
| 16:12 | <x1250> ok, I have another router lying around, I'll try that
| |
| 16:18 | * vagrantc wonders how that will help | |
| 16:18 | <vagrantc> x1250: you're using a router instead of a switch or hub?

| |
| 16:33 | Q-FUNK has quit IRC | |
| 16:34 | <johnny> yes..
| |
| 16:34 | add some users :)
| |
| 16:34 | lol
| |
| 16:35 | <x1250> johnny: do I have to add them to the chroot?
| |
| 16:35 | <johnny> no
| |
| 16:35 | <x1250> ok, thanks
| |
| 16:58 | I'm using SOUND=True, and also VOLUME=95, but sound is very low on the client. Is there anything I can do to improve it?
| |
| 16:59 | this is my config_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11324/
| |
| 17:00 | is there a need to restart any service after modifying lts.conf? I read that if using /var/lib/tf.../lts.conf, then no, but after setting VOLUME to 95 I saw no changes, that's why I ask

| 18:44 | <x1250> johnny: is there anyway to "hide" some given system functionality from the thin client? I was thinking I would not like thin clients to be able to change their passwords, for a little example.
| |
| 18:46 | or hide the gnome system menu, for another
| |
| 18:55 | <slashdotfx> x1250: maybe you can try sabayon? http://www.gnome.org/projects/sabayon/
