hiya vagrantc :)
00:52
improving is good

cyberorg: that first list isn't a list of Cons, but things to keep in mind while reviewing the cons... i think.

<cyberorg>
vagrantc, if aufs works properly, i'd be using that for openSUSE 11.0, it keeps breaking on kernel update now and then
00:55
<vagrantc>
seems to be working fine with debian/lenny
00:56
i've removed and installed packages on the running thin client...

ogra: hey! :) looks like I'll arrive tonight or tomorrow early morning, at latest. is it complicated/expansive to get to the hotel from the airport?
05:56
<ogra>
the taxi does take about 600ckr
05:56
<Q-FUNK>
ogra: also, I'm trying to remember, did you bring your thincans to UDS or did we agree that we'd upgrade them at LinuxTag next week?
05:57the_code has quit IRC
05:57
<stgraber>
Q-FUNK: you can also get the bus
05:58
<Q-FUNK>
stgraber: ok. is there an express shuttle that goes directly to the hotel?
05:58
<stgraber>
Q-FUNK: take the airport express (45czk) then metro line C to Vyzerad (or something like that) (18czk)
05:58
that's how we did with Nicolas and it works fine and is really cheap
05:58
<Q-FUNK>
ok
05:58* jammcq wonders how a czk compares to a euro or dollar
05:59
<Q-FUNK>
I should head out to the bank and change some money for that
05:59
<stgraber>
jammcq: 1 czk =~ 1/25 €
05:59
<Q-FUNK>
ah, ok
05:59
easy to remember then
05:59
<stgraber>
Q-FUNK: there are ATMs at the airport
05:59
<Q-FUNK>
do taxis take credit cards?
05:59
stgraber: ah, ok. good to know.
06:00
<jammcq>
what's the czk:beer ratio?
06:01
<stgraber>
at the hotel it's really expensive 116czk IIRC, we found some at 40czk or even cheaper in the city though
06:01
<Q-FUNK>
hotels are expensive everywhere :(
06:01
<stgraber>
yeah
06:01
<jammcq>
typical high-class hotel

What would cause a client to boot to a resolution of 640x350 even though they have X_MODE_0 = 1024x768 for their MAC in lts.conf? After logging in you can set the resolution to 1024x768 using System->Preferences->Screen Resolution just fine.

<shawnp0wers>
Perhaps Gnome sets the resolution independant of the X session?
08:37
Does it do the same thing with the xterm only desktop?
08:37
<Blinny>
Yeh I'm searching for a .gnome key or something.
08:37
'xterm only desktop' ?
08:38
<shawnp0wers>
Um... Monday memory blank
08:38
like...
08:38
the session with only an xterm
08:38
emergency
08:38
or
08:38
I can't recall
08:38
(gawd I need coffee)
08:38
in sessions in the login window, there should be a default with only xterm or some such thing
08:38
failsafe
08:38
that's the ticket
08:39
I assume there is a failsafe option with LTSP 5
08:39
I haven't checked, but I assume
08:39
<Blinny>
You mean, set the session to failsafe and see if it stays at the crappy resolution?
08:39
<shawnp0wers>
Well, log in with failsafe and see if it honors the lts.conf
08:39
failsafe would eliminate the gnome factor
08:40
heheh, the "Gnome Factor"
08:40
sounds like a reality show

All - Some confusion about the ltspfs bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltspfs/+bug/210379
09:13
A dpkg grep on our ltsp5 ubuntu system only kicks back this http://paste.ubuntu.com/13299/
09:13
Would an install of ltspfs solve the places drive issue?

<Nubae>
q-funk, u there? wanted to ask some questions about the thincans
09:18
<Q-FUNK>
Nubae: sure, go ahead
09:19
<Nubae>
in terms of shipping, how much do you charge to ship to Southern Spain
09:20
the school I'm at wants to test out the 3 models to see which would best suit them, so want to order one of each to begin with
09:20
<Q-FUNK>
Nubae: spain is within EU. fairly affordable, especially with surface mail. with UPS, a tad more expensive.
09:20
<Nubae>
We're in no rush, so UPS might not be necessary
09:20
<Q-FUNK>
Nubae: in that case, it should be fairly straighforward
09:22
<Nubae>
ok... so shipping for 3 would be about how much u think?
09:22
<Q-FUNK>
Nubae: just fill the request form on our site, include the full mailing address with postal code, EU tax exemption number if applicable and we can send you a quotation.
09:23
<Nubae>
ok, will do, thanks

anyone using LTSP with gnome Desktop and unix shares ?
09:50
almost everyone i think but...
09:51ogra has joined #ltsp
09:51
<Comete>
i'm still fighting with umask value since two weeks
09:51
am i the only one with this problem ?
09:52
umask value is set to 002 in /etc/profile and /etc/login.defs and it works well when creating folders or files in terminal but not with nautilus
09:54
i've also played with pam_umask without success, at least with GUI applications...
09:55
i've read that a .gnomerc with umask 002 in it could help but it doesn't work for me...

What is the ltspfs package for? I'm looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltspfs/+bug/210379 to fix a bug we're seeing, but we don't have ltspfs installed in the chroot.
10:59ogra has joined #ltsp
10:59
<vagrantc>
Blinny: it's the server-side part of ltspfs
10:59
<Blinny>
vagrantc: So shouldn't be in chroot?
10:59
<vagrantc>
Blinny: ltspfsd is installed in the chroot
11:00
Blinny: ltspfs is installed on the server
11:00* ogra sits inteh ubuntu bootspeed optimization BOF .... http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/hardy-20080519-4.png
11:01
<ogra>
vs http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/hardy-20080519-2.png :)
11:01
<Blinny>
vagrantc: Any idea why I'm not seeing that update come through? the bugs page says it's committed to hardy-updates
11:02
ogra: vercool
11:02
<ogra>
yeah
11:02
took me 5 min to cut boot time in half :)
11:02
<vagrantc>
Blinny: have you updated the chroot and run ltsp-update-image, as well as the server itself ?
11:03yanu has joined #ltsp
11:03* ogra wonders what Blinny is doing there
11:03
<Blinny>
This is my first week using LTSP5 in production so let me verify - To update chroot, I chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 then aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade , then drop out & update-image ?
11:03
<ogra>
why do you upgrade the chroot ?
11:03
<Blinny>
ogra: Trying to hide un-perm'd volumes ala https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltspfs/+bug/210379
11:04
How else should I be doing it?
11:04
<ogra>
the fix is in lbmount, you only need to update the server side
11:04
and you need libglib2-0
11:04
both should be in -updates
11:05
<Blinny>
ogra: So I 'aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade' ?
11:05
server-side i mean?
11:05
<ogra>
right, with -updates enabled
11:06
<Nubae>
heh, ubuntu and openoffice were just on bbc news
11:06
<Blinny>
Hrm. Yeah, -updates is enabled.
11:07
<ogra>
you want ltspfs 0.5.0~bzr20080109-3ubuntu3
11:07
<Blinny>
My libglib2.0-0 is 2.16.3-1ubuntu1
11:08
<ogra>
glib2.0 2.16.3-1ubuntu1
11:08
that one has the patch
11:08
<Blinny>
W: Unable to locate package glib2.0
11:08
<ogra>
(thats a source package name)
11:08
your binary version matches
11:08
what version is ltspfs ?
11:09
<Blinny>
0.5.0~bzr20080109-3ubuntu3
11:09
But I still see other users' floppies in Places->
11:10
<ogra>
hmm, on the desktop as well ?
11:10
<Blinny>
Let me set the gconf pref back & check
11:10
<ogra>
what did you set ?
11:10
<Blinny>
apps->nautilus->desktop->volumes_visible
11:10
<ogra>
nd did you re-login after upgrading ?
11:11
it wont apply to your current session
11:11
<Blinny>
I'll re-log in right now but I've been in & out all day.
11:11staffencasa has quit IRC
11:11

and yes, with volumes_visible checked I see floppies on the desktop
11:11

<Blinny>
Yup, floppies still present.
11:12* vagrantc is happy to be rid of the ~bzr versions :)
11:12
<Blinny>
Interestingly enough, there are only 2. I have 12 users doing thin stuff right now.
11:12
While some may not have floppy drives, it's more than 2 of them.
11:12
<ogra>
weird
11:12
i definately only see one on each users desktop
11:13
and only the devices a user can access
11:13
tested several times in different setup
11:13
s
11:13
<Blinny>
Does it matter than I'm in admin group?
11:13
<ogra>
no
11:14
<Blinny>
Anything you'd like me to test here?
11:14
<ogra>
i'm busy in a discussion atm and wont really have time for debugging stuff before next week
11:14
<-- at UDS
11:15
<Blinny>
O.
11:15
<ogra>
http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/oder.ogg.m3u
11:15
<Blinny>
I'll add to the bugreport.
11:15
<ogra>
in case you want to listen :)
11:15
ok
11:16
<Blinny>
Cheers - First day of users in-house using brand-new hardy server. I'm a little busy atm also (:

vagrantc: I'm tagging ltsp-trunk
11:46
<vagrantc>
i was thinking i'd be doing an upload today, but i have to do some other stuff
11:46
warren: so go ahead
11:46
at least, from my perspective
11:46
<warren>
what do you have queued up?
11:46
I can wait
11:47
I'm only pushing minor bug fixes anyhow
11:47plamengr has joined #ltsp
11:47
<vagrantc>
i wanted to confirm with ogra weather to switch from unionfs to aufs
11:47
<warren>
ok, these don't effect me
11:47
<vagrantc>
not really any other upstream changes
11:48deavid has quit IRC
11:48
<vagrantc>
i might just do another debian revision and not even use the current upstream... the changes relevent for debian are pretty minor
11:49
5.1.5 -> current ltsp-trunk ... it feels pretty stable
11:50
<warren>
when will you do your upload?
11:50
<vagrantc>
the only major change i hope to have time to get in before debian freeze (in about a month) would be the cdpinger/ltspfsd from udev stuff
11:50
<warren>
how stable is that now?
11:50
<vagrantc>
warren: not sure. i may not even touch ltsp-trunk to do the upload.
11:50
<warren>
ok, then I'm tagging now
11:51
I've been testing these changes for a while
11:51
I need to get them out
11:51
<vagrantc>
warren: proof of concept. i fear it may be prone to race conditions or something like that.
11:52
warren: http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/ltspfs/ltspfs-udev-cdpinger/ if you want to take another look at it ...
11:52gonzaloaf has joined #ltsp
11:52
<vagrantc>
although, it conflicts with ltspfs-trunk at the moment, since i re-wrote a lot of the same stuff
11:52
<warren>
cdpinger is only relevant to CD drives?
11:52
<vagrantc>
yes
11:53
anyways, i gotta run ...
11:53
<warren>
hmm, I don't even have a client with a CD drive here
11:53
<vagrantc>
heh
11:53
<warren>
vagrantc: could you resync it with ltspfs-trunk soon to make it easier to verify?
11:53
<vagrantc>
yeah, i can do that.
11:54
<warren>
k
11:54
let me know when you're done
11:54
<vagrantc>
don't know weather it's better to make a new branch from ltspfs-trunk and merge the changes in, or merge ltspfs-trunk into the feature branch
11:54
soon as in, sometime in the next 2-3 days

I've got clients that frequently do full-stop 100% lock ups. What can I do to debug these issues?
12:12indradg|afk is now known as indradg
12:12
<warren>
Blinny: did you confirm if it is hardware or software?
12:14
<Blinny>
warren: Not yet. I'm a little stuck, because the client is seriously, 100% locked. No flipping to VTs either.
12:14
<warren>
just one client
12:14
not all
12:14
or all of the same model
12:14
is it reproducible
12:14
<Blinny>
Not all. Different models.
12:14
No, it's not.
12:14
One commonality is FF usage though.
12:15

oh
12:34
you're asking about ubuntu
12:34
I have no idea
12:34
<Blinny>
I'd imagine that's probably OS-independent, but *shrug*
12:34
option log-server in dhcpd.conf perhaps
12:35slidesinger has joined #ltsp

<warren>
assuming your OS implemented it
12:35
I don't think Fedora did
12:37
<johnny>
no
12:37
it's an lts.conf option
12:37

johnny: still, assuming your OS implemented using that lts.conf option
12:38
<johnny>
if my distro was official.. that'd be at least 3 out of what.. 6? :)
12:38
debian/ubuntu both have it implemented
12:40* warren looking at what it takes to make it work
12:40
<warren>
it isn't implemented here because we don't use ltsp-setup, and we don't use syslog
12:40
<johnny>
using ltsp-setup was simple enough for me

you're using what distro?
12:43
<arnadelo>
edubuntu 7.10
12:43
<johnny>
it doesn't even use nfs
12:43
by default
12:43
<arnadelo>
yes it was working all this year
12:44
<johnny>
it uses nbd , not nfs at 7.10
12:44
<arnadelo>
but last week there was an update of ssh and the server breaks
12:44
<johnny>
then you need to regenerate your keys
12:44
and the chroot for good measure
12:45
you should just rebuild your chroot
12:45
that should solve it
12:45
<arnadelo>
how do i do this

So, perhaps.

Cool, thank you.

I must specify it for an individual client though, as I have multiple subnets being served.

Thanks laga, johnny, warren.

<warren>
yes
14:54
<Q-FUNK>
you don't get any X or does it flat out not boot?
14:54
<warren>
it seems that the initrd in the image is corrupted
14:54
strike that...
14:55
the zlib decompressor in mkelfimage that is embedded into the elf binary fails to decompress the initrd
14:55
<Q-FUNK>
ah. that would explain it
14:55
oh?
14:55

afaict that's what's going on

http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2008-April/033764.html
14:56
wraplinux relies on BIOS calls so it can't work with coreboot. hpa claims that coreboot is a completely misguided concept and it is impossible to support.
14:57
mkelfimage seems to be the only one that avoids BIOS calls so it has a chance of working
14:57
but it doesn't seem to like this 2.6.25 kernel built with gcc-4.3
14:58
<Q-FUNK>
iirc that might be a compiler issue
14:58
<warren>
have you seen other compiler issues?
14:59
Q-FUNK: I tried the mkelfimage binary from Ubuntu just to be sure it isn't a miscompiled tool and it exhibits the same behavior.
14:59
<Q-FUNK>
ah, that. you seem to be using old initrd tools. we need mkinitramfs-tools for this to work
15:00
ööö... initramfs-tools
15:00
<warren>
no.
15:01
we have an entirely different initrd tool set

but the file format of the initrd is the same

sa: What's up
15:10
<sa>
i want set a linux terminal service provider/ sunray software server for 40 runray terminals and i dont know whaht the minimal pc config
15:11
they need use java / postgess / compilers / image manipulation and VM
15:14
<Blinny>
http://www.sun.com/software/sunray/serversizing.jsp
15:15
sa: A good starting point for LTSP is 256MB in the server plus 128 per concurrent client.
15:16
sa: RAM is king though - with Java, VM and image manipulation, I would say more like 256 per concurrent client. You have very demanding needs; It's best to put as much as you can afford.
15:16
<warren>
SunRay software requires a LOT more RAM per-client than LTSP
15:16
because the entire framebuffer is in server's memory
15:17
<Blinny>
From looking at that page, it sure sounds higher.
15:17
<warren>
I'm not sure why sa is asking here.
15:17
<Blinny>
I'm not sure how LTSP fits into this equation.
15:17

yeah
15:17

Perhaps one server will be doing all these things. Yikes.
15:17bobby_C has joined #ltsp

like try building the kernel with different compilers
15:19
<sa>
no i want know the computer config recomended for its

<laga>
for its?
15:19
<warren>
sa: if you're using sunray then nothing here is relevant to you
15:19
<Q-FUNK>
mind you, the mkelfimage codebase has been rotting dead since 2006. I wouldn't be surpised if recent compiler changes or initrd tool changes have affected it
15:20
<sa>
but i use it on debian

warren: mkelfimage is one of those tools that date back from when LinuxBIOS was in its infancy and the guys behind it have completely disappeard off the scene
15:22
<warren>
Q-FUNK: I know
15:22
Q-FUNK: fundamentally I am getting zero help from the kernel experts because they all hate coreboot
15:22
they think it is a stupid design and a dead end
15:23
<Q-FUNK>
the codebase was imported into coreboot svn just before their server disappeared, but it's never been upgraded since then
15:23
warren: and they would use what instead? a traditional fucked up bios?
15:24
<warren>
they all tell me openfirmware
15:24
or EFI
15:26
<Q-FUNK>
OF requires some serious porting to work and it cannot quite boot on its own. even on OLPC, they have to load OF as a coreboot payload.
15:27
and EFI is real crap
15:27
also, OF is not quite license-free
15:27
<warren>
are you sure?
15:28
OF was opened
15:28
<Q-FUNK>
dual-license, IIRC
15:28Blinny has quit IRC
15:29
<Q-FUNK>
I would never call Coreboot a silver bullet, but compared to EFI or a BIOS, it's at least usable and legacy-free.
15:30
<warren>
it itself might be legacy free
15:30
but it relies on the mkelfimage legacy which gets no attention
15:30
<Q-FUNK>
in principle, OF is nice, but it's mostly a geek toy. regular users don't want to fiddle with a boot prompt.
15:30
well, no.
15:30
mkelfimage is needed to generate BIOS-free ELF images.
15:31
nothing else does it.
15:31
everything else out there ends up relying on one legacy BIOS call or an other.
15:31
that the code hasn't been maintained in ages is a completely different issue.
15:32
and coreboot itself works just fine without mkelfimage
15:33
only generating boot images for legacy-free loaders fails, because few people ever attempted it to beging with and now nobody maintains it.
15:34Comete has joined #ltsp

building coreboot loaders itself has in fact significantly improved and become a lot more efficient and simpe than before.

unfortunately flash 10 seems to have several other new crashes

are you having any problems with HAL (via the system dbus crashing?)

its hard to reproduce, but every so often the system dbus crashes, causing "Failed to initialze HAL" apon login. This can't really be deployed into production until we fix that :-/
17:27
seems to happen less when strace'ing.. making me think its a race condition some how, and the slow down from strace causes it to be less apparent.... /me shrugs
