ogra: as you guggested, I read about XFS for folder inheritance, and it doesn't look pretty stable with power failiure. Could SAMBa acheive what I need, aka sharing folder on the same machine with everybody in the group having read write access for file/folder creation? And in a perfect world, moving files in the shared folder inherite the folder permissions.
05:52
<ogra>
no idea, i never abused samba as a local loopback service ...
05:52

hi ... can anyone give me a hint on why my mouse isnt working on my clients ?
08:54
<Nuba1>
serial or usb?
08:54
<cdealer>
serial, ps2
08:55
<Nuba1>
hmmm... there are some flags u can set in lts.conf
08:55elisboa has quit IRC
08:55
<cdealer>
Hmm
08:55
Nuba1, do you remember what are these flags ?
08:55
<Nuba1>
looking
08:56
X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL = "IMPS/2" X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/input/mice"
08:56
X_MOUSE on newline

<ChiKu_>
hello
09:12Q-FUNK has quit IRC
09:12hersonls has quit IRC
09:13
<ChiKu_>
is there any manager for ltsp? to get information about all thin clients, accounting ?
09:14
<ogra>
ChiKu_, ubuntu has thin-client-manager for the trivial tasks (see who's logged in, kick out people, send msgs) and italc for the advanced stuff (manage desktops ad desktop groups, run in presentation mode etc)
09:15
<ChiKu_>
how you launch it?
09:15
what it's the name of these binary?
09:15
<ogra>
you install either thin-client-manager-gnome (or -kde) or italc-master ....
09:16
they will show up in your menu
09:16elisboa has joined #ltsp
09:16
<ChiKu_>
ok thx
09:16
<ogra>
italc needs a bit of setup to know where the clients are etc ...
09:17
<ChiKu_>
ogra, do you know why on some client I got command line and not ldm? and some clients got ldm ?
09:18
it's not same clients machine spec
09:19
with hardy installation, it's for all i386? like pentium 3 ?
09:19
<ogra>
all pentium class cpus
09:19
<ChiKu_>
amd too?
09:19hersonls has joined #ltsp
09:19
<ogra>
yes
09:19
<ChiKu_>
I don't understand why
09:19
some client netboot
09:20
then get splash screen
09:20
then not get ldm but command line
09:20
some one one got ldm and I can logon
09:20
<ogra>
do you have an lts.conf file where you set any values ?
09:21
<ChiKu_>
nope, I only install hardy with ltsp no change any settings
09:22
I never open or edit lts.conf
09:22
<ogra>
what kind of graphics cards are in the clients that dont get ldm ?
09:22
<ChiKu_>
I should?
09:22
<ogra>
no
09:22
its fine
09:23
if we find a bug you can use lts.conf to work around it ... but some people use old lts.conf files from ltsp4 which can cause problems ... thats why i ask
09:23
<ChiKu_>
I don't know about graphic cards, differents models
09:23
on server, it's nvidia
09:24
but client, I don't know
09:25
radeon ATi client machine it's ok
09:25
<ogra>
geode/amd is known to have problems
09:33alekibango has joined #ltsp
09:33
<ChiKu_>
other client with intel i845 doesn't knows
09:34
but if client can display ubuntu splash screen, it should display ldm?
09:34
other client with intel i845 doesn't work
09:35
<ogra>
can you find out the MAC address of that client ? then you can try to set XSERVER=intel in the lts.conf for that client and see if that helps

I will try it another time, when i can get on my LAN

<Grejao>
if i have a greate server that support many users, how many users can i connect at ltsp simultaneously ??
09:50
<ChiKu_>
hum what are the advantages about ltsp and terminal X? except boot (diskless)
09:51
terminal X and ltsp use ssh right?
09:51
ltsp it's chroot? and not terminal X?
09:51
<Grejao>
ChiKu_, yeap, i am thinking to put many diskless, they have cust lower than thinclients...

<Nuba1>
Is there a way to remote reboot a ltsp client?
13:07
<vagrantc>
not without manual configuration
13:07
<laga>
broom handle + power switch?
13:07
<Nuba1>
so, setting up ssh keys on server and client I guess
13:07
laga: funny :-)
13:08
<vagrantc>
Nuba1: yeah, that's basically one way to do it.
13:09
<Nuba1>
would like to make it easy for the teacher... maybe a link to a script on the desktop... would be a nice feature for italc, come to think of it
13:14gentgeen__ has quit IRC

<gbolte>
Nuba1, thats the reason I was attempting to install iTALC client into the NBD image then it would be able to shutdown and reboot client boxes
13:29
however I was unable to get it to install
13:29
http://italc.sourceforge.net/
13:30
<ogra>
Nuba1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSPClientShutdownReboot
13:31
that works only for clients with a user logged in though
13:31
and isnt finished indeed
13:36
laga, how boring, rather take a whip ... you might miss the TC and have fun withusers
13:37

<stgraber>
gbolte: it's possible to install italc in the chroot but you need to use our beta packages and we still have some issues :)
14:10
gbolte: basically the daemon will run fine but you won't be able to start the teacher interface on a computer that's running the daemon in the chroot
14:10
gbolte: so you can basically manage your thin client network only from fat clients or workstations :)
14:11
that's something upstream and I are working on and we know have a patch fixing half of the issue (italc is no longer complaining but can't control computers ...)
14:12elisboa has quit IRC
14:13elisboa has joined #ltsp
14:16
<Nuba1>
so, will italc allow you to reboot thin clients in a near future?
14:16sh00p has quit IRC
14:18
<Nuba1>
and I assume echo "/sbin/reboot">.ltsp_client_socket would allow for the thin client to reboot?
14:24
<ogra>
right
14:24
but that needs the established ldm tunnel
14:24
so only works with users logged in
14:25
<Nuba1>
ah... logical... not that useful then, but better than nothing
14:26
this is unrelated, but do you know where I can set the mail scripts to send in utf-8? I've set both php and mysql to utf-8, but still get blank messages sent+
14:27
unless its encoded iso8859-1
14:28
maybe there is some file that is more general to the entire system, locale maybe?
14:35
<alkisg>
Nuba1, until someone that knows better responds, do you send a utf-8 header? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 ? At least that's what I had to do when using cgi/sendmail some years ago...

<Nuba1>
using vmware, one can add .xsession to the users home dir, and then the user is then presented with ldm, but logs in and automatically is taken to the vmware windows screen. This seems great for people who want their windows, but is the same possible with virtualbox?
15:08
or are there better ways of doing this... allowing a user to start a thin client and be presented with a windows session
15:15
<lmckayjo>
I'm having a problem setting XF86CONFIG_FILE in lts.conf, then getting a file not found error when the client tries to copy that file... Using RHEL5 and LTSP5 (Debian tarball, if that matters). Anybody know what might be causing that? I tried using full paths in the lts.conf, and putting the file in /etc as well as /etc/X11, and no luck so far.
15:16
Is there some way to get verbose logging back to the server, so I can see exactly where it's looking for that file?
15:16
<Nuba1>
did u rebuild the image?
15:17
<lmckayjo>
No...
15:17
I thought it mounted the whole /opt/ltsp/i386 since I can see everything on there from the client
15:17lns_ has joined #ltsp
15:18
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, I'm guessing I can't use your geode debs from your ppa since one of them isn't compiled yet.. ? =)
15:18
<Q-FUNK>
lns_: you can
15:19
just that the nsc one is still in queue
15:19
<Nuba1>
in my experience, need to rebuild the image
15:19
<lns_>
for nsc anyway... I just upgraded a new chroot w/yer PPA, and it pulled geode and amd, but I'm not getting an X session
15:19
Sitting at a 80x24 blank screen w/blinking cursor
15:19
<lmckayjo>
okay, I'll see if rebuilding is going to work
15:19
thanks
15:19
<Nuba1>
oh... u mounting via nfs lmckayjo
15:19
?
15:20
or nbd?
15:20
<Q-FUNK>
lns_: upgraded the packages then rebuilt the image?
15:20
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, yes
15:20
on those koolu tcs
15:20
<lmckayjo>
NFS yeah
15:21
<Nuba1>
then it shouldnt matter
15:21
<Q-FUNK>
lns_: and you pulled everything that my hardy ppa provides?
15:21
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, except nsc
15:21
<Q-FUNK>
ok
15:21
can you hand on the channel for a bit?
15:21
<Nuba1>
paste your lts.conf lmckayjo
15:22
<Q-FUNK>
hang..
15:22

15:22

15:22
if this is of any use
15:22
<lmckayjo>
Nuba: in a sec rebooting my server
15:22
<lns_>
this was printed while setting up *amd: Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)
15:22
<Q-FUNK>
lns_: I'm waiting for the nsc build to complete, then uploading a slightly differnet geode too
15:22
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, ok
15:22
how long? I might go grab some lunch
15:23
Q-FUNK, also - i'm booting up to 20" Dell flat screens
15:23
if that makes a diff
15:23
<Q-FUNK>
https://launchpad.net/~q-funk/+archive
15:23
<lns_>
wide flatscreen
15:23
<Q-FUNK>
that should still work
15:24
if you only see the cursor, it means that the driver isn't starting
15:24
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, yea - that's yer ppa i pulled from
15:24
<warren>
I use my Dell 20" wide flat screen with a DBE61
15:24
<ltsppbot>
"lmckayjo" pasted "lts.conf" (13 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/536
15:24
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, ok - I also can't get a login on tty1 - no login prompt, but shows bootup sequence
15:24
<Q-FUNK>
warren: you finally got it to work?
15:25
<warren>
Q-FUNK: it was working fine on the DBE61A (until the unit warms up and the memory errors begin)
15:25
<lmckayjo>
Nuba: commented out lines are used instead of the XF86CONFIG_FILE to get the thing working, but unfortunately having nvidia drivers for some clients means wrong drivers for other clients, so I basically need xorg.confs for each one
15:25
<warren>
Q-FUNK: the DBE61C worked but with DDC failure until you gave me the new coreboot ROM
15:25
Q-FUNK: after that, it is fine now.
15:25
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, no additional steps besides pulling from your PPA and rebuilding image, right?
15:26
<Q-FUNK>
warren: and it manages to poll ddc alone and get max rez, on etherboot?
15:26
<Nuba1>
xorg.test.conf that is in the chroot's root
15:26
?
15:27
<warren>
Q-FUNK: well, I've been traveling so I haven't been home to try my 20" wide flat LCD
15:27
Q-FUNK: I used it on other LCD's and it did indeed DDC fine
15:27
<lmckayjo>
I've put it in the chroot's /etc, as per examples online, as well as trying XF86CONFIG_FILE=/etc/xorg.test.conf
15:28
same error regardless
15:28
<Nuba1>
lmckayjo: the one u pasted though should be in /xorg.test.conf
15:29
anyway, the mac address allows for u to set a driver per computer... using xorg.conf should really be last resort
15:29
can u not put in all your mac addresses and define which card they should use?
15:30
<lmckayjo>
Nuba1: I can, but I'm having issues with nvidia vs nvidia legacy, as well as setting very non-standard resolutions for all my i845 onboard graphics
15:30
<warren>
hey can somebody check Debian/Ubuntu's packaging
15:30
<Nuba1>
in other words, does putting xserver=nvidia work for the mac address u mentioned?
15:30
<warren>
where does jetpipe.8 (the manpage) get installed?
15:30
<Nuba1>
ok... resolutions u can set with X_VERTICAL_RATE and X_HORIZONTAL_RATE
15:30
<lmckayjo>
Nuba1: yes, it does. Setting resolutions and drivers for some other cards/machines doesn't work right though, so I really want a full xorg.conf for some of those machines
15:31
<Nuba1>
I used that to set my widescreen monitors to work at 1440x900
15:31
<lmckayjo>
Is the full XF86 modeline method okay? I tried that for my 1680x1050 panels and had no luck, although the same modelines worked great in KNoppix
15:32
using X
15:32
_Mode_0
15:32
<Nuba1>
let[00:50:BF:9A:1C:8F]
15:32
X_MODE_0 = 1440x900
15:32
X_HORZSYNC=24-80
15:32
X_VERTREFRESH=56-76
15:32
like so...
15:33vagrantc has quit IRC
15:33
<lmckayjo>
Yeah, and that didn't work right for me. I think I may just scrounge up enough geforce 5500's for my clients with unfriendly onboard video
15:33
<Nuba1>
I couldnt get my resolutions to work on the widescreen monitors until I put the horzsync and vertfresh
15:33
<warren>
Anybody on Ubuntu with LTSP?
15:34
<lns_>
warren, yes me
15:34
<Nuba1>
waht distro lmckayjo?
15:34
<warren>
lns: could you please find the location that jetpipe and jetpipe.8 are installed on your filesystem.
15:34
<Nuba1>
warren: yeah
15:34
<lmckayjo>
Okay - I'll keep that in mind. Have you done anything with twinview?
15:34
Nuba1: RH enterprise 5
15:34
<Nuba1>
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/jetpipe
15:34
<warren>
jetpipe.8?
15:34
<lns_>
warren, /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/man/man8/jetpipe.8.gz
15:34
<warren>
thanks
15:34
<lns_>
heh
15:35
<Nuba1>
I believe warren is redhatty...
15:36
lmckayjo is having problems getting his xorg.conf to load... but says redhat still uses nfs and not nbd
15:36
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, so right now i'm dead in the water - what's the ETA on having what you want on your ppa? I can come back here in a bit if needed
15:36
<Nuba1>
so I assume one doesnt need to rebuild image to get lts.conf to see the xorg.conf file
15:40
<Q-FUNK>
lns_: no idea. apparently some guys were building kernel packages, which takes a while
15:40
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, ok - is there anythign i can do in the meantime to get at least a lower res on the TCs?
15:41
Everyone is excited about the new TCs ;)
15:42
<lmckayjo>
Anyone here use Sunray clients in a mixed-client environment? Is there any major hurdle to doing that (proprietary bios issues or whatnot)?
15:42
with a non-Sun server, of course :)
15:43
<warren>
aren't sunray clients only usable with a sunray server?
15:45
<lmckayjo>
That's my impression... I haven't tried yet, but I've got a couple lying around
15:45* lns_ is going to Taco Bell, will be back in ~30-45min
15:45
<Q-FUNK>
30-45 sounds good
15:45
<warren>
must wait 1.5 hours for lunch
15:51
<jcastro>
lmckayjo: they suck.
15:51
the sunray server software isn't reliable on linux in my experience
15:51
it was easier to just move everything to ltsp. :)
15:51
<warren>
can the sunray clients boot their own OS and run X?
15:51
I doubt it
15:51
<jcastro>
nope
15:52
they're worthless without the server software
15:52
<warren>
that's my impression as well
15:52
and it relies upon sun's X which is a bit buggy and crappy
15:52
<jcastro>
the whole platform is pretty 1990's
15:53
for the same price you can get normal X terms and not depend on their software
15:56
<lmckayjo>
yeah, if I didn't have a couple lying around I wouldn't bother.. I really wouldn't want to deal with sunrays unless they just "worked" with pxelinux etc
15:57
<ogra>
hey, they are the most beautiful paperweights :)
15:57
<lmckayjo>
yeah, they look nice just sitting there!
15:58
<warren>
do they give away the sunray server software these days?
15:58
it used to be ridiculously expensive and buggy
15:58
<lmckayjo>
They do, I'm pretty sure. People have hacked it to run on just about any distro
15:58
I think it's still probably really buggy
15:59
<jcastro>
I wonder how well those EEE desktops will run as thin clients
15:59
<warren>
many years ago I found a school that had 35 useless sunray clients because their sun server was woefully underpowered. I edited one config file line to X -query a linux box sitting next to it, and bam, it became useful.
15:59
<jcastro>
it could be the intel video powered thin client I've always wanted
15:59
<ogra>
warren, there was a bootimage you could get for free

jcastro: hopefully the bios quality is better than their portable EEE
16:00
<ogra>
warren, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnSunRay somebody used it on ubuntu
16:00
<warren>
jcastro: the portable EEE were incredibly stupid. it could do PXE, but only if you unplug the power cable
16:01
<jcastro>
warren: hahaha
16:01
ogra: I helped that guy write that page!
16:01
<warren>
ogra: btw, I hear that Skolelinux has working local apps support?
16:01
<ogra>
jcastro, i know
16:01
<jcastro>
it's possible to get the sunray server software to run on ubuntu, but it was unreliable
16:01
<ogra>
warren, using xrecexd and no ldap ?
16:03
warren, getting localapps to work with nfs mounted home, ldap ad a locally running sshd is not rocket science but surely not the stuff we want upstream
16:03
s/ad/and/
16:04
warren, any link to thei implementation ?
16:04DonSilver has quit IRC

<warren>
ogra: I have no idea how it works, I only heard from fanboys who say "skole is way ahead of ubuntu and fedora"
16:04
<ogra>
*their
16:05
i wouldnt cal cfengine scripts that break upgradeability *ahead* of anything :)
16:05
*call
16:05
but they have surely something that works out of the box in their setup
16:06
<warren>
how is scottie's unimplemented design different?
16:07
<ogra>
it uses the rootwindow and xprops to communicate (no local sshd needed)
16:07
it doesnt use nfs but a wrapper around sshf so mounting can be done by ldm
16:08
<warren>
sshfs lacked something though
16:08
what was it
16:08
<ogra>
statfs
16:08artista_frustrad has joined #ltsp
16:08
<warren>
and which app needs that?
16:08
<ogra>
FF needs t know the fre space and doesnt like it
16:09
(sorry, having one handed dinner whie typing)
16:09
<warren>
darn. FF is the main thing we need running as localapp.
16:09
<ogra>
right
16:09
we need to get scottie movin in portland
16:10
<warren>
anyone looked into how difficult it would be for sshfs to do statfs?
16:10
<ogra>
he wanted to prepare code etc
16:10
scott
16:10
he had plans and ideas and also more code than we all know he didnt publish i think
16:10Grejao has quit IRC
16:11
<ogra>
we'll see it in portland
16:11
i talked to lennart about our pulse setup n prague btw
16:11
he didnt find it to weird :)
16:12
<lmckayjo>
Is firefox and other "slow" stuff going to have greatly improved performance at gigabit compared to 100mbit? Assuming a ridiculously fast server, at least?
16:12
<ogra>
and we actually found a bug in pulse while going through it
16:13
<warren>
oh?
16:13
lmckayjo: the biggest challenge is stuff like youtube taking up WAY too much bandwidth
16:13
<ogra>
default.pa is supposed to be a script as well as a config file
16:14
but he expected the shebang line to be able to take multiple options (which doesnt work)
16:19
<lmckayjo>
warren: seems like youtube-quality video wouldn't slow things down much. Does the client resolution affect the bandwidth requirements severely? So that youtube video @320x240 or whatever they use is scaled up to 1280x800 (or higher) when somebody foolishly fullscreens it.
16:19
then of course eats the bandwidth where original-sized 320x240 wouldn't have
16:22
<warren>
lmckayjo: just try it and see, it is surprisingly huge
16:22
lmckayjo: flash plugin seems to transmit every single pixel even if it didn't change
16:22
<ogra>
used bandwith = resolution x colordepth
16:23
thats a general rule
16:23
(for X forwarding)
16:23
<lmckayjo>
hmmm
16:23
looks like gigabit will be in order then.
16:23mhterres has quit IRC
16:24
<ogra>
at least between server and switch GigE makes sense
16:24hersonls has quit IRC
16:24
<lmckayjo>
yeah, I've got that on my "test" setup right now, but still working out other issues before really stress testing things. I'll need to decide how far down the line to put gigabit once I have real users on the system

Nuba1: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
16:25
<lmckayjo>
Some of which will be dual-head at 1680x1050... if I can get that working
16:25
<ogra>
you can, but need to create a custom xorg.conf
16:25
<lmckayjo>
right, and I've been having issues with file not found errors trying to specify those
16:26
which is totally baffling to me
16:26
<ogra>
it needs to be in the image
16:26
(if you use ubuntu at least)
16:26
<lmckayjo>
I don't have an image though, using a debian tarball and nfs on RHEL5
16:26
<ogra>
oh
16:26
<alkisg>
ogra, about bandwidth = resolution x colordepth, with flash 9 and hardware acceleration, is this still true?
16:26
<lmckayjo>
I've set permissions to whorishly loose, put the file in every possible place it might be looking, and still cannot stat.
16:27
<ogra>
alkisg, well, thats independent of flash ... for that your likely need to add: x frames/second

16:27
<alkisg>
ogra, isn't stretching done by the X server? so bandwidth = 320x240xcolordepth?
16:27
<dyn>
!hi
16:27
<ltspbot>
dyn: Error: "hi" is not a valid command.
16:28
<alkisg>
ogra, (for stretched fullscreen video)
16:28
<ogra>
lmckayjo, you need to put it into the chroot
16:28
lmckayjo, and ten specify a relative path to it
16:29
<lmckayjo>
ogra: yeah, I've done that :)
16:29
<ogra>
lmckayjo, i.e. in ubuntu the chrooot is in /opt/ltsp/i386 .... so you copy the file to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/my-xorg.conf ... in the lts.conf you specify X_CONF=/etc/my-xorg.conf
16:30
<lmckayjo>
is there any reason using XF86CONFIG_FILE = ... would break that? I mean, it's still looking for the file but maybe some other issue from using dep'd code
16:30
instead of X_CONF that is
16:33
<ogra>
depends how old your tarball is
16:34
<lmckayjo>
hmmm
16:34
<ogra>
ah, well. i just looked, we seem to have retained backwards compatibility until today here
16:34
<lmckayjo>
ok
16:34
<ogra>
so XF86CONFIG_FILE should work

stgraber, oh I see...well the only being able to run the control from a fat client should not be an issue...I can just vnc into the server and run it correct?
16:49
<ogra>
no
16:49
thats what he said
16:49
you can run it everywhere but on the server
16:58
<gbolte>
oh I thought he meant that you can run it on the server if its not from a tc

took 3 ours for the damn buildd to barf
17:08

heh
17:10

get a faster buildd :)
17:10
<lns_>
so should i come back tomorrow? I'm about 20 miles away from my office and just kinda hanging out at this point
17:10
It'd be cool to have at least a low-res TC but I understand if it's not possible right now
17:11
<Q-FUNK>
ogra: PPA is the bugger. someone was apparently shoving kernels into it
17:11
the queue got impossibly long

and still is long

hey does ddrescue need to be done on 2 disks of the same FS type¿
17:12
?
17:12

lns_: depends if you have time or not
17:13
<lns_>
Q-FUNK, I can always remote in and have someone here just turn on one of the clients and test it
17:13
after changes are made
17:13
<Q-FUNK>
that could work too
17:13
<lns_>
cool, i'll do that
