 | |
| 02:15 |    now how to update image of i386, default is updating amd64 
 | |
| 02:15 | <johnny>   you should just remove the amd64 stuff 
 | |
| 02:15 |    you need to use --arch=i386 wherever it says something to you about amd64 
 | |
| 02:16 | <Asad2005>   ok thanks

| 03:24 | <dean_za_>   Hi , I tried setting up a kiosk and since then all my clients are getting the kiosk image from nbd_server , I have since removed all traces of kiosk to try get my default install working and I cant seem to find where nbd_server is getting its info. Any one have any ideas ? 
 | |
| 03:25 |    I know get this in my daemon.log 
 | |
| 03:25 |    nbd_server[7950]: connect from 192.168.0.100, assigned file is /opt/ltsp-kiosk/images/i386.img

 | |
| 04:17 | <dean_za_>   hi ogra , found that had 2 entries port 2000 for original and 2001 for kiosk , tried hashing out kiosk did nothing. howdo i restart inetd 
 | |
| 04:17 |    which is default port ? 
 | |
| 04:18 | <ogra>   well 2000 is usually the original 
 | |
| 04:18 |    and default 
 | |
| 04:18 | shogunx has quit IRC | |
| 04:19 | <ogra>   beyond that it indeed matters what the filename directive in your dhcpd.conf points to 
 | |
| 04:19 | <dean_za_>   hasnt changed from default install 
 | |
| 04:20 | <ogra>   well, change the pat for the 2001 entry in inetd.conf, restart inetd and it shpuld work 
 | |
| 04:21 |    *path 
 | |
| 04:21 | <dean_za_>   how do I restart inetd ? 
 | |
| 04:22 | <ogra>   sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart 
 | |
| 04:22 |    something like tha 
 | |
| 04:22 |    t 
 | |
| 04:23 | <dean_za_>   thanks , been looking for /etc/init.d/inetd , did this change in hardy ? 
 | |
| 04:23 | <ogra>   no 
 | |
| 04:24 |    we switched from netkit-inetd to openbsd-inetd two years ago when debian dropped netkit-inetd .... thats the only change since ltsp5 exists in ubuntu

| 05:32 | <popey>   hi, does anyone here have an AMD Geode GX2 based device running Hardy? 
 | |
| 05:33 |    I have just filed bug 236019 because the geode x driver seems duff, wondered if others had this issue. 
 | |
| 05:33 |    https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/236019 
 | |
| 05:34 |    The specific hardware is a Viglen MPC-L, but I _believe_ it's similar/same as the Linutop2, but don't have one to confirm it 
 | |
| 05:37 | <ogra>   popey, hey hey 
 | |
| 05:37 |    popey, wait for Q-Funk, he has fixed packages for testing ... they are supposed to go into hardy-updates and 8.04.1

 | |
| 07:07 | <ogra>   the v1.5, yes 
 | |
| 07:08 |    v1 is what you have at home 
 | |
| 07:08 | <popey>   ah 
 | |
| 07:08 |    bummer :) 
 | |
| 07:08 | <ogra>   rich is just getting new ones :) 
 | |
| 07:08 | <popey>   woudl they be faster booting off an sd card than the internal flash? 
 | |
| 07:08 | <ogra>   took me a month to make suspend/resume work on the crappy USB thing ... now they just drop it :/ 
 | |
| 07:08 | <popey>   :( 
 | |
| 07:09 | <ogra>   not really 
 | |
| 07:09 | <popey>   i guess the cpu limits either device? 
 | |
| 07:09 | <ogra>   i bot mine off an SDHC card as fasst as from the internal flash or a USB key ... there is not much noticeable differentce ... they are all up after about 70secs 
 | |
| 07:09 |    s/bot/boot/ 
 | |
| 07:10 | <popey>   right 
 | |
| 07:10 | <ogra>   the missing L2 cache is the prob here 
 | |
| 07:10 |    the atom powered devices will solve that though (ETA end of the year) 
 | |
| 07:11 | <popey>   atom classmates? 
 | |
| 07:11 | <ogra>   .oO( all these poor x-rayed children ) 
 | |
| 07:11 |    yeah 
 | |
| 07:11 |    classmate 2.0 will use atom 
 | |
| 07:11 | <popey>   :) 
 | |
| 07:12 | <ogra>   and a proper resolution :) 
 | |
| 07:13 | <popey>   yeah, that's one reason I like the 9" eee, 1024x600 is just about ok 
 | |
| 07:14 | <ogra>   yeah 
 | |
| 07:14 |    i'll likely move over to the mobile team soon to care for all these devices 
 | |
| 07:15 |    3 years of edu are really enough :)

| 07:40 | <ogra>   well, he answered on 219630 
 | |
| 07:41 |    sounds like you should try with the ncs driver instead of geode 
 | |
| 07:41 |    *nsc 
 | |
| 07:41 |    i dont think the pci id's do anything beyond getting autodetection to work, if nsc still supports that chipset it might work 
 | |
| 07:42 | <popey>   well there's two errors, the autodetection is one thing, and the driver itself seems broken 
 | |
| 07:43 | <ogra>   right, but martin said that gedoe doesnt support that chip at all ... nsc does thogh 
 | |
| 07:44 | <popey>   :( 
 | |
| 07:44 | <ogra>   at least thats what i read out of his coment 
 | |
| 07:44 | <popey>   yeah, so it seems 
 | |
| 07:44 | <ogra>   so try using nsc 
 | |
| 07:44 | <popey>   booting now :) 
 | |
| 07:44 | <ogra>   geode and friends are a major pain since gutsy 
 | |
| 07:44 |    and the OLPC folks adding half breeded patches to it didnt help wither 
 | |
| 07:45 |    *either 
 | |
| 07:48 | <popey>   just updating classmate using hardy image 
 | |
| 07:48 | <ogra>   yay 
 | |
| 07:49 |    fi you plug in an additional usb key before booting the instaler you can actually install to the external key if you want ... should work on the eee as well 
 | |
| 07:49 | <popey>   can you install to an sd card? 
 | |
| 07:49 |    I have an 8G SDHC one spare 
 | |
| 07:50 |    well.. "spare" :) 
 | |
| 07:50 | <ogra>   no, but thats two or three lines ofr code to enabe it 
 | |
| 07:50 |    i dont think its detected during boot 
 | |
| 07:50 |    the installer would offer it to you after the lang selector 
 | |
| 07:50 | <popey>   the installer sees /dev/sdc as the internal flash disk yes? 
 | |
| 07:51 | <ogra>   no idea, i never look at device names, whats the real name of the device ? 
 | |
| 07:51 | <popey>   well it says it's formatting, and the usb stick is the only other thing, and the hdd light is flashing, so it must be that :) 
 | |
| 07:51 | <ogra>   should have something like MPD or MPD in t 
 | |
| 07:51 |    *MPT 
 | |
| 07:52 |    ah, right, if there is only one possible target i dont bother the user with a selection ;) 
 | |
| 07:57 | Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC | |
| 08:00 | <popey>   that worked nicely, thanks ogra 
 | |

 | |
| 08:00 |    *nsc 
 | |
| 08:00 | <popey>   classmate 
 | |
| 08:00 | <ogra>   ah :) 
 | |
| 08:01 |    welcome :) if you find probs, please report ... its still not the final image 
 | |
| 08:03 |    (i'll roll final with 8.04.1) 
 | |
| 08:04 | <popey>   I'd like to see a simlar image for the eee - one that has the specific fudges for that hardware 
 | |
| 08:04 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
| 08:04 | <popey>   ooo, i thought you said you wouldn't be able to do the screen stretching thing any more? 
 | |
| 08:04 | <ogra>   thats what i will be working on in the future ;) 
 | |
| 08:04 | <popey>   nice 
 | |
| 08:04 | <ogra>   intel offers a special driver that supports panning as well as screen compression 
 | |
| 08:04 |    that will be packaged for intrpid 
 | |
| 08:04 |    *intrepid 
 | |
| 08:04 | Can0beans has quit IRC | |
| 08:04 | <ogra>   i'm not a friend of panning modes but as long as intel demands it it will stay in 
 | |
| 08:04 | <popey>   i note you're still using the i810 driver and not the intel modesetting one.. 
 | |
| 08:04 | <ogra>   right 
 | |
| 08:05 |    i810 uses xrandr differently 
 | |
| 08:05 |    newer drivers drop panning support in favor of having a big virtul screen over multiple displays 
 | |
| 08:05 | <popey>   ahh 
 | |
| 08:05 | <ogra>   you can only have one or the other 
 | |
| 08:05 |    that forces me to i810 
 | |
| 08:06 | <popey>   this seems a lot faster than the previous install 
 | |
| 08:06 | <ogra>   but i810 will die and i wont have any standard X way of doing panning 
 | |
| 08:06 |    well, some months of work ;)

| 08:27 |    (we newbies need a who-is-who and what-is-what for the distros, maintainers, bug reporting etc... :))

| 08:27 | Nuba1 has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:28 | <alkisg>   yeap, but I don't know which script is Ubuntu-specific, which is debian... :) 
 | |
| 08:28 |    e.g. I've seen vagrantc's name on some of them... 
 | |
| 08:29 | <ogra>   doesnt matter 
 | |
| 08:29 |    if you find the bug in ubuntu file it in ubuntus bugtracker 
 | |
| 08:29 |    we work together upstream, but every distro has its special tweaks 
 | |
| 08:30 | <alkisg>   even if it is dhcp-server crashing? I mean, a binary and not a script? 
 | |
| 08:30 | <Nuba1>   ogra... I've more or less made the ltsp-build-client plugin for low fat clients with nfs and ldap support... 
 | |
| 08:30 | <ogra>   well, that would be clearly ubuntu :) 
 | |
| 08:30 | <Nuba1>   should I call it workstation as it was called 
 | |
| 08:30 | <alkisg>   :) ok then! thanks! 
 | |
| 08:30 | <Nuba1>   or lowfat 
 | |
| 08:30 |    ? 
 | |
| 08:30 | <ogra>   Nuba1, then lets get it into th eextra-plugins in ubuntu :) 
 | |
| 08:30 |    so we get testing from intrepid users 
 | |
| 08:31 | <Nuba1>   ok... let me put the finishing touches on it, ie, name etc 
 | |
| 08:31 |    :-) 
 | |
| 08:31 | <ogra>   well, i havent even done anything for intrepid ltsp yet anyway 
 | |
| 08:31 |    to much other work to do, so no rush 
 | |
| 08:31 | <Nuba1>   ok... so either --workstation or --low_fatclient will work? 
 | |
| 08:32 | <ogra>   why low ? 
 | |
| 08:32 | <Nuba1>   well, I just think of fat client being non ltsp 
 | |
| 08:32 |    but could call it fatclient too 
 | |
| 08:32 | <ogra>   well, for me a fat client is a client runing ubuntu-desktop locally 
 | |
| 08:33 |    if thats what yours does, lets just call it --fatclient 
 | |
| 08:33 | <Nuba1>   yeah, k... 
 | |
| 08:33 | <laga>   maybe with arguments for ubuntu/kubuntu etc? 
 | |
| 08:33 | <ogra>   since you will specify this option in ltsp-build-client i assume our users being clever enough to find out they do it in ltsp ;) 
 | |
| 08:33 | <Nuba1>   yeah those are in there 
 | |
| 08:33 |    kubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu 
 | |
| 08:34 | <ogra>   laga, i'll allocate some ltsp time in june, lets see that we get the mythbuntu stuff shaken out and merged upstream then .... 
 | |
| 08:34 | <laga>   ogra: right. 
 | |
| 08:35 | <Nuba1>   laga, I used the one question, I did auth-client-config in finalization... but maybe that should come before... what do you think? 
 | |
| 08:35 | <laga>   there was a bug report about the alternate DHCP ports in here, i'll try to get a patch ASAP 
 | |
| 08:35 |    Nuba1: auth-client-config? never used that ;) 
 | |
| 08:35 | <ogra>   and we should also look if there is something we could split out into a more common plugin i guess debian would love to have a diskless media player as well ;) 
 | |
| 08:35 | elisboa has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:36 | <Nuba1>   that meant to say, I used mythtv's finalization part with cat <<EOF>> to put in some ldap config files 
 | |
| 08:36 |    but after that it requires executing the above mentioned command 
 | |
| 08:36 |    just wondering if I did it the right place 
 | |
| 08:37 |    well, I'll paste it when I've finished testing it here 
 | |
| 08:37 | <laga>   ogra: i'm still not sure if the whole overlay thing with aufs is such a great idea.. an LDAP server would be nice ;) 
 | |
| 08:37 | <Nuba1>   problem is LDAP server is seriously broken in hardy... 
 | |
| 08:37 | <ogra>   no ldap in defaults .... i wont add any ldap dependencies to the packages :)

| 08:38 | <ogra>   we worked hard in the past to avoid any ldap involvement in all out ltsp implementations

| 08:39 | <Nuba1>   yeah, I thought about making a hakish option to copy passwd/shadow/group to the fat client environment 
 | |
| 08:39 |    but it doesnt work as expected 
 | |
| 08:39 | <ogra>   whats hackish about that ... if its done right :) 
 | |
| 08:39 | <laga>   Nuba1: well, the mythbuntu plugin does that for one user 
 | |
| 08:39 | <Nuba1>   only ldap works properly 
 | |
| 08:39 |    well, its not dynamic for one 
 | |
| 08:40 | <laga>   yes. 
 | |
| 08:40 |    a shame :( 
 | |
| 08:40 | <ogra>   it could be :) 
 | |
| 08:40 |    its only software 
 | |
| 08:40 | <Nuba1>   yeah, then might as well use ldap ;-) 
 | |
| 08:40 | <ogra>   and i heard we are deveopers :) the guys who change software to do the right thing ;) 
 | |
| 08:41 | <Nuba1>   oh... one thing that would be really nice, and I can't figure it out... how about mounting /home via sshfs? 
 | |
| 08:41 | <laga>   well, suggestions? ;) 
 | |
| 08:41 | <ogra>   laga, some ideas, yes 
 | |
| 08:41 | <Nuba1>   instead of nfs 
 | |
| 08:41 | <ogra>   doesnt wrk without hacking around a missing sshfs feature 
 | |
| 08:42 |    the localapp spec has an explanation 
 | |
| 08:42 | <laga>   :( 
 | |
| 08:43 | <Nuba1>   :-( 
 | |
| 08:43 | <ogra>   sshfs has no statfs() call 
 | |
| 08:43 |    firefox doesnt like that 
 | |
| 08:43 |    nautilus neither 
 | |
| 08:44 |    not sure about oo.o but i would be suprised if it was happy 
 | |
| 08:44 |    but that should be fixed with the localapps implementation 
 | |
| 08:45 | <laga>   well, we probably want a real file system, not something which is missing important stuff ;) 
 | |
| 08:45 | <ogra>   well, its really only that call 
 | |
| 08:45 |    you can wrap something in fuse around that .... 
 | |
| 08:45 |    scotty had some proof of concept code i think 
 | |
| 08:45 |    but never published it 
 | |
| 08:46 | <Nuba1>   shame 
 | |
| 08:46 | <ogra>   with that in place we can even make ldm automount /home on login ... just attached to the existing ssh tunnel 
 | |
| 08:47 | <laga>   i believe i saw a patch to add stats() 
 | |
| 08:47 | <slappy>   is there a way to change ldm appearance  and language ? 
 | |
| 08:48 | <ogra>   slappy, lang depends on your distro theme works everywhere 
 | |
| 08:49 | <Nuba1>   buntu makes it easy though :-) 
 | |
| 08:49 | <ogra>   just look at /usr/share/ldm/themes 
 | |
| 08:49 | <slappy>   It looks like there is a default theme for clients, and I don't know how to change them on the server. 
 | |
| 08:49 | <ogra>   (in the chroot) 
 | |
| 08:50 |    oh, and if you are using a newer version LDM_THEME in lts.conf should be supported 
 | |
| 08:50 | <Blinny>   Any ideas about where to start with my full-stop lock-ups? 
 | |
| 08:51 | <slappy>   I'll be back... 
 | |
| 08:58 | <Nuba1>   I could take out user creation out of the fatclient script entirely, as ldap does it, or I could but another switch in, so users can choose ldap or server-users 
 | |
| 08:59 | cyberorg has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:03 | <cliebow>   Gadi: rebooting file server seems to have licked the time wait issue..thanks.. 
 | |
| 09:06 | <slappy>   ogra: I'm using ltsp 5 so I'll take a look at /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf. 
 | |
| 09:06 |    is there a tag for language, like LDM_LANG or something like that? 
 | |
| 09:06 |    cause all my uses are using french 
 | |
| 09:07 | <Nuba1>   dont think ldm language localisation has been done yet 
 | |
| 09:07 | mccann has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:07 | <Nuba1>   you could always start thought :-) 
 | |
| 09:07 | <slappy>   I would like to get involved, but I don't know where to start... 
 | |
| 09:08 | <ogra>   Nuba1, it has been done, but to late for inclusion in hardy 
 | |
| 09:08 |    it only hi the upstream code two weeks before release and was no small patch 
 | |
| 09:08 |    s/hi/hit/ 
 | |
| 09:09 |    the debian sid package has a bunch of translations already and the intrepid package i'll upload next week will too 
 | |
| 09:10 | <Nuba1>   oh cool 
 | |
| 09:11 | <ogra>   and since we have ldm in a separate package now i might even ask for a backport 
 | |
| 09:13 | <Nuba1>   I'm looking to buy a new laptop... on which I will install Ubuntu... any recommendations? I've looked at the dells, which seem nice, but I'd like a 17 inch screen 
 | |
| 09:13 | * ogra just bought a http://www.notebook-paradies.com/oxid.php/sid/1d50de6550db2627431586ac1f13b370/cl/details/cnid/34d47e3d0619f1822.57725514/anid/34d47e3d1da300ea6.34265928/<b>NEXOC-Osiris-S621---Tablet<_b>/ | |
| 09:14 | <ogra>   not sure they make them with non german keyboards though 
 | |
| 09:14 |    but apart from tablet calibration being painful, all HW worked right out of the box for me with hardy 
 | |
| 09:14 | <slappy>   ogra: just to be sure, /opt/ltsp/i386 is only there to create the image for client? 
 | |
| 09:15 | <ogra>   slappy, right 
 | |
| 09:15 |    the squashfs in /opt/ltsp/images gets created from it if you run ltsp-update-image 
 | |
| 09:16 | <Nuba1>   damn nice price for a tablet pc 
 | |
| 09:16 | <ogra>   i got it with the fast HDD and 3G .... 
 | |
| 09:16 | <slappy>   so if I want a specific theme, the procedure is: chroot to /opt/ltsp/i386 ; apt-get install theme; add LDM_THEME=/usr/share/ldm/theme, right? 
 | |
| 09:16 | <ogra>   its faster than any of my servers in my basement :) 
 | |
| 09:17 |    slappy, all available themes are installed with the ldm package, you would need to make your own 
 | |
| 09:17 |    and LDM_THEME should only take the theme name iirc 
 | |
| 09:17 |    LDM_THEME=edubuntu 
 | |
| 09:17 | <slappy>   I wanted the ubuntu-studio theme :( 
 | |
| 09:18 | <ogra>   i doubt anyone from ubuntsudio has ported anything to ldm 
 | |
| 09:18 | <slappy>   oh, i see. it's gdm 
 | |
| 09:18 | <ogra>   but if you make up a theme from ubuntustudio's images i'll happily include it in intrepid :) 
 | |
| 09:18 | <Nuba1>   and do u use the tablet part of it ogra? 
 | |
| 09:19 | <ogra>   ldm actually only knows two images ... the wallpaper and the logo floating on top 
 | |
| 09:19 | <laga>   ogra: the c't said that the resolution of the touch-screen wasn't that good in that tablet pc. can you confirm? 
 | |
| 09:19 | <ogra>   Nuba1, from time to time, yes ... its great to sit outside in my garden in the morning and read online news while slurping coffee 
 | |
| 09:20 |    laga, the initial one was 1cmx1cm ... with recalibration its smooth 
 | |
| 09:20 | vagrantc has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:20 | * ogra waves to vagrantc | |
| 09:20 | * vagrantc waves back | |
| 09:20 | <slappy>   what a nice idea. I'll be back ( have to tack a coffee). Nice publicity ogra :) 
 | |
| 09:20 | <ogra>   laga, i can write in the screen and draw just fine ... 
 | |
| 09:21 |    s/in/on/ 
 | |
| 09:21 | <vagrantc>   ogra: you still able to make it for the hackfest? i heard ubuntulive was cancelled 
 | |
| 09:21 | <ogra>   vagrantc, yup, that got me the final approval actualy :) 
 | |
| 09:21 | <vagrantc>   i see :) 
 | |
| 09:22 | <ogra>   oh, you were half approved .... indeed then we cant cancel your activities ... just go ahead :) 
 | |
| 09:22 |    need to book the flight though 
 | |
| 09:22 |    wil be a busy month for me 
 | |
| 09:22 |    first week asia ... third week london ... and from london to portland without going home 
 | |
| 09:22 |    mind you, my clothes might stink :P 
 | |
| 09:23 | <vagrantc>   can't imagine you'd stink worse than me :) 
 | |
| 09:23 | <ogra>   haha 
 | |
| 09:23 | <vagrantc>   well, you do smoke... 
 | |
| 09:23 | <ogra>   we can compete 
 | |
| 09:23 |    which covers the other ;) 
 | |
| 09:26 | <Nuba1>   and 12 inches isnt too small? 
 | |
| 09:26 |    for the screen :-) 
 | |
| 09:26 | <slappy>   ogra: you said that theme's language depends on distro. Mine is in english. How can I change ldm theme for the client to be in french? 
 | |
| 09:27 | <vagrantc>   ogra: i went ahead and committed the unionfs -> aufs patches to ltsp-trunk 
 | |
| 09:30 |    ogra: what sort of time-frame before you consider sync'ing ltsp with debian? 
 | |
| 09:32 | <Gadi>   is ubuntu moving to aufs? 
 | |
| 09:32 | <vagrantc>   Gadi: so i hears 
 | |
| 09:32 | <Gadi>   interesting 
 | |
| 09:32 |    they are drop in replacements of each other, yeah? 
 | |
| 09:32 | <laga>   kinda. 
 | |
| 09:32 | <vagrantc>   for the most part 
 | |
| 09:32 | <laga>   aufs has some compatibility options, but i'm not sure if they're enabled 
 | |
| 09:33 | <vagrantc>   the patch was basically sed -e 's,unionfs,aufs,g' 
 | |
| 09:33 | <Gadi>   vagrantc: ah, good 
 | |
| 09:33 | <vagrantc>   well, at least debian's aufs has them enabled... ubuntu might do things differently. 
 | |
| 09:33 | <laga>   vagrantc: since the maintainer is the same guy, i doubt it 
 | |
| 09:34 | <Gadi>   do you know if casper moved to aufs? 
 | |
| 09:34 | <vagrantc>   good good 
 | |
| 09:34 | <laga>   Gadi: casper _can_ use aufs, there's a boot option 
 | |
| 09:34 | <Gadi>   that must be new 
 | |
| 09:34 | <laga>   yeah, it's new. 
 | |
| 09:35 | <vagrantc>   Gadi: i heard from ogra that the livecd's will move to aufs, so ltsp (at least for ubuntu) should also 
 | |
| 09:35 | <laga>   it didnt make sense before because there was no aufs :) 
 | |
| 09:35 | <Gadi>   well, aufs was on the fringe for some time 
 | |
| 09:35 |    and then became the rage 
 | |
| 09:35 |    :) 
 | |
| 09:35 | * vagrantc rages with aufs | |
| 09:36 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
| 09:36 | <vagrantc>   all i know is that simple patch made the NBD+squashfs+aufs work in debian where unionfs has only infrequently worked. makes me happy. 
 | |
| 09:36 | <slappy>   Is there a file to change ldm language. I looked at greeter-gtkrc but it's not the good one. There is surely a ressource file somewhere? 
 | |
| 09:36 | <vagrantc>   slappy: what linux distro and release? 
 | |
| 09:37 | <slappy>   ubuntu 8.04 
 | |
| 09:37 | <vagrantc>   i don't think that version of LDM supports translations... 
 | |
| 09:38 | <Nuba1>   as ogra said, it didnt quite make it into hardy 
 | |
| 09:38 |    maybe there will be a backport soon... for now translations of ldm are no go 
 | |
| 09:38 | <slappy>   But if there is a ressource file I can change it to my needs. I don't need to have language specific to user 
 | |
| 09:38 |    They all speak the same language 
 | |
| 09:38 | <vagrantc>   slappy: you would have to recompile ldm. 
 | |
| 09:38 | <ogra>   vagrantc, i'm still not sure if i will, sync or just grab bzr 
 | |
| 09:39 |    june is my month for such stuff 
 | |
| 09:39 | <slappy>   oh, it's hard coded 
 | |
| 09:39 | <Nuba1>   ldm is C 
 | |
| 09:39 | <vagrantc>   ogra: cool. 
 | |
| 09:39 | <slappy>   I know C 
 | |
| 09:39 | <ogra>   i wont travel or be distracted otherwise this month 
 | |
| 09:39 | <slappy>   Where do I start. 
 | |
| 09:39 | <vagrantc>   ogra: well, if you push your packaging branches i'll work on merging them :) 
 | |
| 09:40 | <slappy>   Where are the source files 
 | |
| 09:40 | <vagrantc>   slappy: most likely grabbing ldm from trunk: 
 | |
| 09:40 |    !ltspsource 
 | |
| 09:40 | <ltspbot`>   vagrantc: "ltspsource" is https://code.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream 
 | |
| 09:40 | <ogra>   or grab reh debian sid package and mangle the versioning 
 | |
| 09:40 |    then just build it 
 | |
| 09:40 |    it should have french 
 | |
| 09:40 |    s/reh/the/ 
 | |
| 09:41 | <slappy>   ok thanks 
 | |
| 09:41 | <ogra>   oh, and note that the debian package doesnt ship themes 
 | |
| 09:42 | captain_1agnus has quit IRC | |
| 09:42 | captain_magnus has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:42 | <vagrantc>   doesn't ship ubuntu themes 
 | |
| 09:42 |    it ships the ltsp theme :) 
 | |
| 09:43 | <ogra>   it ships one theme, right :) 
 | |
| 09:43 |    sorry, thought that was obvious :) 
 | |
| 09:43 | <vagrantc>   i should get around to packaging an ldm theme for debian and freegeek 
 | |
| 09:43 | <ogra>   yeah 
 | |
| 09:44 | <vagrantc>   but i'll package themes in a separate source package 
 | |
| 09:44 | <ogra>   we should get people doing a theme contest and package the results in an extra-themes package 
 | |
| 09:45 | <vagrantc>   that'd be cool. 
 | |
| 09:45 |    i need to get an upload in this month if it's going to make it into lenny 
 | |
| 09:45 |    (this month, as in june) 
 | |
| 09:45 | <ogra>   i just did my last hardy upload last night 
 | |
| 09:46 | <vagrantc>   ogra: still working on that old thing? :) 
 | |
| 09:46 | <ogra>   its not done yet :) 
 | |
| 09:47 | <johnny>   beep 
 | |
| 09:47 | <ogra>   8.04.1 was the target :) 
 | |
| 09:47 | <johnny>   mmm... coffee 
 | |
| 09:47 | alekibango has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:48 | <vagrantc>   ogra: since we're diverging so heavily on ltsp-client-builder ... i'm still tempted to split it into a separate source package 
 | |
| 09:49 |    what kind of compression are folks getting with squashfs and ltsp chroots? 
 | |
| 09:49 | <ogra>   zlib iirc 
 | |
| 09:50 |    lzma isnt in the kernel, so the module cant make use of it 
 | |
| 09:50 | <laga>   lzma would also be possible with additional kernel poatches AFAIK 
 | |
| 09:50 |    heh 
 | |
| 09:50 | <vagrantc>   the chroot i've built with was around 540MB... and the squashfs image around 400-some MB 
 | |
| 09:50 | <ogra>   ans lzma is a heavy beast, it eats RAM 
 | |
| 09:50 | <laga>   vagrantc: whagt chroot did you build? 
 | |
| 09:50 | <ogra>   though compcache uses lza 
 | |
| 09:50 | <vagrantc>   laga: just a regular debian sid ltsp chroot 
 | |
| 09:50 | <laga>   my mythbuntu-diskless image is 418M, and it contains everything. 
 | |
| 09:51 |    the ubuntu chroot was like 140M compressed AFAIK 
 | |
| 09:51 | <ogra>   and we'll have compcache and the compression modules in intrepid with the next linux-ubuntu-modules 
 | |
| 09:51 |    so i might be able to play with lzma here 
 | |
| 09:51 |    vagrantc, did you have debs left in /var/cache/apt ? 
 | |
| 09:51 | <vagrantc>   i'm just trying to figure out if squashfs is .... not exactly broken on debian sid ... but maybe not working optimally? 
 | |
| 09:52 |    ogra: nope. 
 | |
| 09:52 | <ogra>   they dont get much compression 
 | |
| 09:52 | <Gadi>   compcache is a compressed ramdisk as swap space, right? 
 | |
| 09:52 | <ogra>   my classmate root is 3.5G, compressed its 780M 
 | |
| 09:52 | <Gadi>   or is it for all free ram? 
 | |
| 09:52 | <ogra>   it really depends on the data you compress 
 | |
| 09:52 |    Gadi, its the best since sliced bread 
 | |
| 09:53 | <Gadi>   lol 
 | |
| 09:53 | <ogra>   just doesnt taste as good 
 | |
| 09:53 | <Gadi>   does it make all available ram compressed? 
 | |
| 09:53 | <ogra>   it creates a /dev/ramzdsk device which is a compressed tmpfs 
 | |
| 09:53 | <Gadi>   or just swap? 
 | |
| 09:53 | <ogra>   you can surely also abuse it as normal fs 
 | |
| 09:54 | <Gadi>   ah - so we will abuse it by using it as the writable tmpfs overlay? 
 | |
| 09:54 | <ogra>   like any other tmpfs it only grabs a part of the ram 
 | |
| 09:54 |    no 
 | |
| 09:54 |    i will use it as virtual local swap :) 
 | |
| 09:54 |    but indeed patches accepted 
 | |
| 09:55 |    we dont really have much data we need writable, the need here for a compression isnt that big imho 
 | |
| 09:55 | <Gadi>   ah - so it is formatted as swap? 
 | |
| 09:55 | <ogra>   right 
 | |
| 09:55 |    the default setup makes it swapspace 
 | |
| 09:55 | slapp1 has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:55 | <Gadi>   but you can format it any which way because it is a block dev from the kernel's pov 
 | |
| 09:55 | <ogra>   but i'm sure you can tweak it to do other useful things 
 | |
| 09:55 | <Gadi>   not a fs 
 | |
| 09:55 | <ogra>   right 
 | |
| 09:56 | <Gadi>   neat 
 | |
| 09:56 | <ogra>   i havent tried that yet, just fiddling with the normal usage and proper udev integration 
 | |
| 09:56 | <Gadi>   i guess the question is what percentage of free ram to make swap 
 | |
| 09:56 | slappy has quit IRC | |
| 09:56 | <Gadi>   :) 
 | |
| 09:56 | <ogra>   but once thats done i'll look at other opportunities 
 | |
| 09:56 | <Gadi>   and does this actually make the swap space faster than the regular ram? 
 | |
| 09:56 | <vagrantc>   does it eat a dedicated slice of ram, or just what it actually uses? 
 | |
| 09:57 | <ogra>   i need to make sure there are no issues with suspend/resume first 
 | |
| 09:57 |    vagrantc, you can specify its size 
 | |
| 09:57 | <vagrantc>   yes, but if i specify 10M, and it only uses 2M ... will it consume 10M ? 
 | |
| 09:57 | <ogra>   (my main usecase are classmate and netbook for it, ltsp ram reduction is just an additional benefit for me) 
 | |
| 09:58 |    vagrantc, i *think* it will only take 2 but cant confirm atm 
 | |
| 09:58 |    does that matter though ? 
 | |
| 09:58 | <vagrantc>   ok. 
 | |
| 09:58 | <ogra>   i mean the main target it has s to increase the seen ram 
 | |
| 09:58 | slapp1 has quit IRC | |
| 09:59 | <ogra>   s/seen/usable/ 
 | |
| 09:59 | <vagrantc>   when you're cutting it close, i suspect it matters a lot. 
 | |
| 09:59 |    but anyways, time will tell :) 
 | |
| 09:59 | <ogra>   right 
 | |
| 09:59 |    i'll work a lot with it the next months 
 | |
| 10:00 |    ask me in august and i can hold a talk about it :) 
 | |
| 10:00 | <vagrantc>   ogra: is it packaged for ubuntu and/or debian yet? 
 | |
| 10:00 | Pascal_1 has quit IRC | |
| 10:00 | <ogra>   it is in linux-ubuntu-modules 
 | |
| 10:00 |    in intrepid 
 | |
| 10:00 |    debian doesnt have it yet afaik 
 | |
| 10:00 | <vagrantc>   it's just a kernel module, no kernel patches required? 
 | |
| 10:01 | <ogra>   http://gitweb.heh.fi/?p=ion/ubuntu/compcache.git 
 | |
| 10:01 |    just grab that git source 
 | |
| 10:01 | <vagrantc>   that presumes i'm literate :) 
 | |
| 10:01 | <ogra>   run mak and you should be able to use the scripts

| 10:08 |    well for that and grade reports, assesments, attendance, etc 
 | |
| 10:09 |    schooltool still needs some work, but after years of stagnation, the project seems to be moving along again 
 | |
| 10:10 |    but neither of those solutions allow for something fancy like barcode scanning

 | |
| 10:23 | <Nuba1>   what could cause the portmap deamon to take 5 minutes to start up 
 | |
| 10:25 | <ogra>   missing looback interface 
 | |
| 10:25 |    broken resolver 
 | |
| 10:26 | <Nuba1>   network manager interfering 
 | |
| 10:26 | <shogunx>   thanx Blinny. 
 | |
| 10:27 | <ogra>   Nuba1, NM wont touch static devices 
 | |
| 10:29 | <johnny>   not yet at least :) 
 | |
| 10:29 |    .7 is lookin good now tho 
 | |
| 10:30 | <ogra>   yeah, i used it for some weeks during hardy 
 | |
| 10:30 |    but we revrted 
 | |
| 10:31 | <johnny>   still too early.. but it's gettn there 
 | |
| 10:32 | <Nuba1>   well, the script I based my fatclient on, purges networkmanager... but I'm unsure where /etc/network/interfaces is setup 
 | |
| 10:32 |    in ltsp-setup-client? 
 | |
| 10:33 | <ogra>   ltsp-build-client sets up loopback iirc 
 | |
| 10:33 |    and beyond that this file isnt touched 
 | |
| 10:33 | staffencasa has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:34 | <Nuba1>   hmmmm... then perhaps my ltsp-build-client isnt finishing 
 | |
| 10:35 | <ogra>   030-loopback is responsible 
 | |
| 10:38 | plamengr has left #ltsp | |
| 10:38 | tjikkun_work has quit IRC | |
| 10:49 | <Nuba1>   so waht do you think, add an option to choose between ldap users and server users? or use only ldap? 
 | |
| 10:50 | Blinny has quit IRC | |
| 10:52 | <Nuba1>   also... LDAP server is hardcoded to 192.168.0.254, should it be definable during --fatclient ? 
 | |
| 10:53 | generic has quit IRC | |
| 10:53 | <Nuba1>   maybe I should ask for LDAP url and ip during ltsp-build-client 
 | |
| 10:54 | <ogra>   if yu have a proper solution for server users add a choice 
 | |
| 10:54 |    LDAP server should point to $SERVER and have an lts.conf option to override 
 | |
| 10:54 | <Nuba1>   my current proper solution would be a cron job 
 | |
| 10:54 |    to synch passwd, shadow and group 
 | |
| 10:55 | <ogra>   a chronjob doing what ? 
 | |
| 10:55 | <Nuba1>   but maybe thats ugl 
 | |
| 10:55 |    ugly 
 | |
| 10:55 | <ogra>   well, that doesnt realy help 
 | |
| 10:55 | <Nuba1>   y not? 
 | |
| 10:55 | <ogra>   i mean it does for running clients 
 | |
| 10:55 |    but not during boot 
 | |
| 10:55 |    there needs to be a basic set in the image 
 | |
| 10:55 |    the prob here is that system uid's can vary 
 | |
| 10:56 |    so it can only hold real user accounts 
 | |
| 10:56 | Q-FUNK has quit IRC | |
| 10:56 | <Nuba1>   yeah, but generally, copying everything over, seems to work 
 | |
| 10:56 | <ogra>   thats gambling 
 | |
| 10:56 | <Nuba1>   yeah, you're right :-) 
 | |
| 10:56 |    hence my prior use of the word hackish 
 | |
| 10:57 |    what about pulling out only the user accounts then 
 | |
| 10:57 | <ogra>   depending in which order you instll i.e. dbus and hal the uid of the hal user and messagebus user will be different 
 | |
| 10:57 | <Nuba1>   smbldap-tools already does that 
 | |
| 10:57 | <ogra>   right, you need to pull the user accounts 
 | |
| 10:57 | <Nuba1>   I can copy that procedure 
 | |
| 10:57 | <ogra>   and i wouldnt rely on rsync alone but tunnel it through ssh 
 | |
| 10:57 |    its your password db :) 
 | |
| 10:58 | <Nuba1>   heh, point taken 
 | |
| 10:58 | * Nuba1 is going to look at smbldap-tools and see how they do it | |
| 10:58 | <ogra>   so have an ltsp specific account with ssh key who can rsync group/passwd/shadow 
 | |
| 10:58 | <Nuba1>   so build a new account just for that 
 | |
| 10:58 | <ogra>   have it monitor a token that gets touched if passwords have changed 
 | |
| 10:59 |    then it can sync dynamically 
 | |
| 10:59 | <Nuba1>   but doesn't that require some sort of daemon 
 | |
| 11:00 |    well, cron job I gues 
 | |
| 11:10 | japerry has quit IRC | |
| 11:13 | <Gadi>   if ur gonna do that, have it push rather than pull 
 | |
| 11:13 |    that way you can keep the priv key out of the chroot 
 | |
| 11:14 | * lns walks in, yawns | |
| 11:15 | <Nuba1>   k cron job on server then? 
 | |
| 11:15 | <Gadi>   yeah - and you can just use root 
 | |
| 11:16 |    create ssh keys for root on the server 
 | |
| 11:16 |    copy root's *public* key to /opt/ltsp/i386/root/.ssh/authorized_keys 
 | |
| 11:16 | <Nuba1>   ah, cool, was just about to ask that 
 | |
| 11:17 | <Gadi>   and then have a cron job that checks for password changes, and then cycles through the client IPs and pushes out the new passwords 
 | |
| 11:17 |    if it cant connect to a client, then no need to update its database 
 | |
| 11:18 |    just make sure that the client's database has been updated on boot before you allow a login 
 | |
| 11:18 | <Nuba1>   so just cycle through list of hosts in /etc/hosts for example? 
 | |
| 11:18 | <Gadi>   so, put a script in the init.d/ of the chroot that keeps looking to see if /cow/etc/passwd exists on the client 
 | |
| 11:19 |    and doesnt let the boot continue until it does 
 | |
| 11:19 |    itll increase your boot time a bunch 
 | |
| 11:19 |    tho 
 | |
| 11:19 |    but, at least the user can login when they get a login 
 | |
| 11:19 | <Nuba1>   well, the theory is that since they are fat clients, we can leave them on 
 | |
| 11:20 | <Gadi>   well, its safer than having a priv key in the chroot that enables rsyncing of password files 
 | |
| 11:20 |    :) 
 | |
| 11:20 |    unless you encrypt the chroot 
 | |
| 11:20 | * Nuba1 cringes | |
| 11:20 | <Gadi>   in which case, you can pull 
 | |
| 11:20 |    :) 
 | |
| 11:21 | <Nuba1>   this is complicated enough already... its supposed to be fun... :-) 
 | |
| 11:21 | <Gadi>   heh 
 | |
| 11:22 |    what was wrong with ldap, btw? 
 | |
| 11:22 |    just the added service required? 
 | |
| 11:22 | <Nuba1>   absolutley nothing... jsut thinking about alternatives 
 | |
| 11:22 | <Gadi>   ah 
 | |
| 11:23 |    imho, when in fat client world, do as the fat clients do 
 | |
| 11:23 |    :) 
 | |
| 11:23 | <Nuba1>   ldap is far easier than what we just talked about, but... this has the added advantage of not expecting the user to install an LDAP server 
 | |
| 11:23 | <Gadi>   just make installing the ldap server easy 
 | |
| 11:23 |    and automatic 
 | |
| 11:23 |    :) 
 | |
| 11:23 | <Nuba1>   well, I'm sure ubuntu is working on it... but its far from ready 
 | |
| 11:24 |    try apt-getting smbldap-tools, to migrate accounts... it should put the files in /etc/smbldap, but nothing happens 
 | |
| 11:24 | <x86>   I'd like to see an LDAP directory manager for Linux (and MacOS X) that looked as simple and worked as easily as active directory's 
 | |
| 11:24 | <Gadi>   well, if you want totally insecure, there are tons of ways 
 | |
| 11:24 |    :) 
 | |
| 11:25 | <Nuba1>   directory manager... use webmin 
 | |
| 11:25 |    which I see is back in the repos 
 | |
| 11:27 | <Gadi>   ah, ill give you one better 
 | |
| 11:27 | <x86>   yeah but it's still not nearly as nice as AD 
 | |
| 11:27 | <Gadi>   do the push method we talked about 
 | |
| 11:28 |    but have the thin client on boot make a request for the push 
 | |
| 11:28 | <x86>   I've tried most of the LDAP managers out there.... (the free ones) ... and I've come to the conclusion that they all lack ease of use 
 | |
| 11:28 | <Gadi>   that request can be checked however you like 
 | |
| 11:28 |    perhaps by MAC and IP 
 | |
| 11:28 | <Nuba1>   hmmm... not bad idea... 
 | |
| 11:28 | <Gadi>   and approved or denied 
 | |
| 11:28 |    that way, you dont cycle through IPs 
 | |
| 11:29 |    you only dish it out to those IPs requesting 
 | |
| 11:29 |    and maybe make a cron job on the client to request every so often 
 | |
| 11:29 |    and on boot 
 | |
| 11:29 | <Nuba1>   yeah, that part is necessary 
 | |
| 11:29 | <Gadi>   that way, you keep the security 
 | |
| 11:30 |    and get the passwords to the right places 
 | |
| 11:30 | shawnp0wers has quit IRC | |
| 11:30 | <Gadi>   and no ldap 
 | |
| 11:30 | <Nuba1>   sounds good... 
 | |
| 11:31 | <Gadi>   in fact, you could then make the auth as simple or complex as you like 
 | |
| 11:31 |    :) 
 | |
| 11:32 |    hmm... 
 | |
| 11:32 |    tho, maybe this is no better than having a priv key and pulling 
 | |
| 11:32 |    i think i just put the hole back in 
 | |
| 11:32 |    nm 
 | |
| 11:32 | <Nuba1>   hehe... 
 | |
| 11:34 |    so... conclusions is that pushing or pulling, its the same thing in the end 
 | |
| 11:35 | <cliebow>   Gadi:thanks for your help yesterday.. 
 | |
| 11:54 | <Gadi>   cliebow: np - what did I do?

 | |
| 12:49 |    and shell

| 14:02 | <Intrelude>   hi 
 | |
| 14:02 |     hello 
 | |
| 14:02 |     anyone here? 
 | |
| 14:02 |     I installed 8.04 server.  I didn't get the desktop, so went through and installed the graphical desktop and now the edubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-server packages 
 | |
| 14:02 |     I'm new... I click on System -> Admin and I don't see where/how to modify/setup thin clients 
 | |
| 14:02 |     oh.. after installing desktop and server, I installed LTSP-manager, still don't see anything. 
 | |
| 14:02 |     also, eth0 is connected to a switch.  How do I set up DHCP so that it serves IPs on eth0.  eth1 is my connection to my school network (windows pcs). 
 | |
| 14:04 | <cliebow>                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Intrelude:still ther? 
 | |
| 14:04 |    hmm 
 | |
| 14:06 | <Intrelude>   yes still here 
 | |
| 14:07 | <cliebow>   ahhh..you have installed ltsp-server-standalone? 
 | |
| 14:07 | <Intrelude>   yes, I did the  sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server 
 | |
| 14:08 |    and it said I have both the current version 
 | |
| 14:08 | <cliebow>   ok 
 | |
| 14:08 | <Intrelude>   I'm currently doing the ltsp-build-client 
 | |
| 14:09 | <cliebow>   i am a little out of the loop now..but you should be able to change..hang a sec 
 | |
| 14:10 |    yeah /etc/default/dhcp3-server to say 
 | |
| 14:10 |    INTERFACES="eth0" 
 | |
| 14:10 | <Intrelude>   ok, let me check that 1 sec 
 | |
| 14:10 | <cliebow>   and be sure your dhcpd.conf reflects the network your interface is 
 | |
| 14:11 |    be sure internal and external networks are different 
 | |
| 14:11 | japerry has quit IRC | |
| 14:13 | <Intrelude>   ok the dhcp-server has this:  INTERFACES="" 
 | |
| 14:13 | <cliebow>   must default to ethwhatever 
 | |
| 14:13 | <Intrelude>   i changed it, couldn't save it, says I don't have permissin?? 
 | |
| 14:13 | <cliebow>   sudo? 
 | |
| 14:13 | <Intrelude>   i have to do this in a terminal? 
 | |
| 14:14 | savetheWorld has left #ltsp | |
| 14:14 | <cliebow>   best to..you could open a terminal and type sudo gedit and get away with it ..sometimes 
 | |
| 14:15 | <Intrelude>   ok got it 
 | |
| 14:15 |    where is dhcpd.conf located? 
 | |
| 14:15 | <cliebow>   /etc/ltsp 
 | |
| 14:15 |    shouldnt have to change ir 
 | |
| 14:17 |    what address do you have for eth0? 
 | |
| 14:17 | <Intrelude>   how do I find that? 
 | |
| 14:17 | <cliebow>   ifconfig 
 | |
| 14:17 |    from a term 
 | |
| 14:17 |    easiest 
 | |
| 14:18 |    ifconfig eth0 works 
 | |
| 14:19 | japerry has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:22 | <Intrelude>   eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:d8:3c:e2:c8

 | |
| 14:24 |    in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf, I don't see any reference to eth0

 | |
| 14:26 |    system-->admin-->network is a tool to set static address on eth0 
 | |
| 14:27 |    it makes changes to /etc/network/interfaces 
 | |
| 14:28 | <Intrelude>   ok, i did admin-> network and set static address to eth0  192.168.0.1  255.255.255.0 and router 192.168.0.0 
 | |
| 14:28 |    is that right? 
 | |
| 14:29 | <cliebow>   it should default to 192.168.0.254...i think 
 | |
| 14:30 |    router needs to be like ..hell..ill just post mine 
 | |
| 14:31 | <Intrelude>   well... eth0 is what my thin clients will be connected to.  eth1 is my connectin to the schol WAN.  On that I get a 10.13.16.xx address
