This is so odd. What is causing the Kubuntu login screen to appear on the thin client? I think I can recall where the display manager is specified.

im fair clueless with this crap... but maybe the kubuntu stuff is in the ltsp image?
00:34
:S

<lns-eee>
Stax, do you mean using KDE with ltsp?

00:39
<lns-eee>
Stax, i'm not sure your situation or expertise so excuse me if i'm giving you non-information - with ltsp5, display manager 'ldm' is the default. You can theme it so for kubuntu there might be a kde-based theme for ldm.
00:40
Not sure though, never used kubuntu (just ubuntu+ltsp5)
00:41
<Stax>
not my problem

<Briareos1>
how can i (graphically) connect to the ltsp server from a running machine?
01:24
<sep>
Briareos1, depends on how you define graphically, i would use SSH -X user@remotemachine
01:25
you might think of things like vnc
01:25
<Briareos1>
just so i can see the screen exactly as the other clients do - but within a window - not within the whole machine, sep
01:26
<sep>
in that case i might try xnest
01:27
<Briareos1>
so with ssh -X its basically that i can at least open up all the programs - but not the desktop. is that correct?
01:27
<sep>
yeah
01:27
but you can run xnest thru the ssh -X
01:28
<Briareos1>
well that's cool as well - i need to only do some configuration like in evolution or so; still i will have a look at xnest for future purpose (maybe it's faster?)
01:28
cheers!

xnest is not as fast as xephyr
01:43
from my understanding
01:44
xephyr supports the xdamage extension, which makes repaints alot faster
01:44
or rather.. you need less repaints
01:45
<rjune>
I thought # of repaints was the same, you justhad to repaint only what changed
01:46
<johnny>
yes
01:46* johnny perhaps shouldn't stay up this late tonight
01:46
<Briareos1>
is it also possible to invoke a whole xclient from an xterm?
01:47
i mean if i go to a clean shell by CTRL+F2 and do the ssh -X ... there
01:47
<sep>
but i never rember nor can spell xephyr, xnest is easy !
01:47
<Briareos1>
:)
01:48
<sep>
Briareos1, no.. since you are not in X then
01:48
just in a console
01:48
but you can start a new X on the next availabel tty (8?) and run it fullscreen there
01:52daya has joined #ltsp
01:52
<sep>
eg you acn try something like X :1 -query <remote_host> and it should in theory go to vt8
01:53
this uses XDMCP tho not ldm and ssh X '

<DawnLight>
i don't understand what version of ltsp is in etch
04:19
<ogra>
a very old one
04:20
<DawnLight>
of that i'm sure but which one, exactly? what docs should i read?
04:20
<ogra>
!debian
04:20
<ltspbot`>
ogra: "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
04:20
<ogra>
see the latter link
04:20
or if you want it easier ...
04:20
!ubuntu
04:20
<ltspbot`>
ogra: "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
04:20
<ogra>
see the latter link :)
04:21
<DawnLight>
i don't ubuntu. thanks
04:21
<ogra>
well, its where ltsp5 comes from ....
04:22
but debian does a good job porting it, you just have to live with testing/unstable or backports there
04:23
<DawnLight>
there are no backports
04:23
<ogra>
(if lenny comes out in time, debian might actually be ahead with ltsp5 versioning this time though)
04:23
they re described on the wikipage
04:23
*are
04:23
<DawnLight>
"LTSP-5 is available in Debian Etch. If you want an easy installation, you should use the Debian packages to install LTSP."
04:24
this is from http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DownLoads#Ltsp_5_on_Debian
04:24
<ogra>
read the howto ...
04:24
i wasnt aware vagrant put subpages in place (i dont read the debian wiki usually)
04:25
at the bottom it has a backports section
04:31
<alkisg>
ogra, I'm going to modify ipconfig so that it prefers answers from ltsp servers (in DHCP SELECT phase), to make it easier to have multiple dhcp servers (now it falls to busybox if the "wrong" server answers first). Any ideas on how to check that the dhcp offer comes from an ltsp server? (in case it goes upstream or if anyone else finds my mod useful). I was thinking either to prefer a dhcp offer with a filename field, or use a custom dhcp option in d
04:33
<ogra>
alkisg, if we had found a way yet we would have implemented it :) the way to use a second DHCP server (at least in ubuntu, not sure that got inot other distros yet) is to use a different port
04:33
<alkisg>
ogra, different dhcp servers can coexist, and it would be easy for ipconfig to select one of them. A select phase is defined on the dhcp protocol.
04:34
<ogra>
i'll happily merge it if you send me any patch/branch url that fixes that :)
04:34
<alkisg>
I'll make it, I'm just asking for your opinion on what would be the best route for this
04:34
<ogra>
currently the problem is that who andswers first will get the hit ...
04:34
*answers
04:35
<alkisg>
I'll implement a wait in the selection phase, to receive more answers if the first is not "good enough"
04:35
<ogra>
and usually the non netbooting dhcpd is less busy so you likely get the wrong one
04:35
<alkisg>
E.g. by preferring the dhcp offers that have a filename option set, no changes in dhcpd.conf would need to be made, but the "other" server may also provide a filename
04:35
<ogra>
make sure to not slow down the bootprocess though ... at least not by more than 1.2 secs
04:35
*1-2
04:35
<alkisg>
No, some msec would be enough
04:36
<ogra>
good
04:36
<alkisg>
By using a magic number, we would be sure that we get the answer from the ltsp server, but dhcpd.conf would need to be modified.
04:36
Which of these 2 you think is best?
04:36
<ogra>
i mean in the default setup with a single dhcpd indeed ... if it takes longer with corner case setups i cant help it :)
04:36
<alkisg>
The default setup will have no delay
04:36
<ogra>
modifying dhcpd.conf is bad
04:37
<alkisg>
If it gets the "correct" answer first, it won't have to wait for another answer
04:37
<ogra>
at least in ubuntu and debian its a conffile
04:37
so its hard to do automatically
04:37
if its avoidable to touch dhcpd.conf, please try to do so
04:37
<alkisg>
So I modify ipconfig to wait a little in case it receives a filename option. If it receives it first, it doesn't wait at all.
04:38
a little = some msec, I'll look at the specs.
04:38
<ogra>
let it be a second
04:39
i just dont want to get back to 2 minute boot times :)
04:39
<alkisg>
No, it won't loop, just extend the select phase
04:39
Because now as soon as it gets any offer, it accepts it without waiting for a second one.
04:40
<ogra>
right
04:40
<alkisg>
OK. Thanks, I'll post in klibc list and here when I have it ready.
04:40
<ogra>
cool !
04:40
<alkisg>
Oh, we'll need to modify ltsp_nbd
04:40
e.g. ipconfig -f
04:40
<ogra>
no problem on that
04:40
<alkisg>
ok

what would be a viable way to get sound working in debian ltsp in kde? the Sound wiki page makes me dizzy
05:34
<ogra>
select arts over esd in kcontrol
05:34
there is a setting for that afaik
05:35
if you use the backports the low level sound stuff will already be in place and work, nothing to do there
05:35
<DawnLight>
that might be useful
05:36shogunx has joined #ltsp

(note that we dont use esd, but since kde 3 isnt maintained anymore nobody bothered to update that naming :) )

hi ogra
05:54
wassup dude :-)
05:54
<ogra>
busy times :)
05:55
<ace_suares>
hmmm is 8.10 approaching already :-)
05:55
Hey ogra, I run now a virtual machine inside hardy 64-bit
05:56
and in the VM i have damn smaal linux runnding the win4lin stuff
05:56
<ogra>
well, hardy isnt done yet ... busy with 8.04.1
05:56
<ace_suares>
but how would I go about synchronizing the users on the vm with the host ?
05:56
i was thinking of ldap
05:56
<ogra>
that a possibility
05:56
rsync teh respective files would be another
05:56
<ace_suares>
are you or your people working on anything like a central userbase for ltsp hosts !?
05:56captain_magnus has joined #ltsp
05:57
<ogra>
no
05:57
<ace_suares>
is that planned or tought of in any way ?
05:57
<ogra>
well, the implementations we spec usually avoid that kind of stuff to use the standard things used on the server
05:57
no
05:57
<ace_suares>
kay thanks for the heads up.
05:58
i think syncing the files (but not all users hah)
05:58
would be a q&d hack that could get it all working
05:58
maybe I go with that for now
05:58
<ogra>
ltsp should not depend on any additional user maintenance tool, it should always just use whatever you set up on the server
05:58
<ace_suares>
not enough time and experience to make a whole ldap interface I am afraid.
05:59
yeah thats a good tought :-) but does schooltool not have mnore advanced usermgmt ?
05:59
<ogra>
i.e. our localdev implementation will get its user info without depending on an ldap client in the chroot
05:59
etc etc
05:59
<ace_suares>
I really miss a easy tool to put pupils in classes and move them to antoehr class next year and stuff like tht
05:59
<ogra>
trying to keep the codebase as small and easy to grasp as possible
06:00
<ace_suares>
hmmm didn't even think about that...
06:00
<ogra>
in edubuntu i'll work on a new task driven menu system that i plan to integrate with a scheduling system later
06:00
that could be such a setup as you want at some point
06:00
<ace_suares>
so I need to do something to the chroot to make ldap work for localdev ? :-?
06:01
you prolly will be finished earlier then I am :-)
06:01
<ogra>
err. sorry, my typo
06:01
s/localdev/localapps/
06:01
<ace_suares>
I got the holidays about 3 weeks but noit full time for this
06:01
<ogra>
to much local stuff around nowadays
06:01
<ace_suares>
oh yeah
06:01
too much to know and to learn too
06:02
for old people :-) like me.
06:02
thx catch you later ogra. Good luck with 8.04.1 :)

how can i make a script run on boot time in a specific client?
06:07
<Stax>
^ do want to know
06:07
use mac to load different
06:07
maybe
06:08
<DawnLight>
this client has an acpi bug of some sort that turns off the cpu fan and i fix this using the proc filesystem
06:08* DawnLight doesn't want his apartment burnt away
06:09
<ogra>
use the RCFILE_nn (where nn is 01 up to 09) lts.conf parameter to point to a script inside the chroot
06:10
<DawnLight>
thanks
06:11
<ogra>
note that paths are relative to the chroot
06:11
i.e. /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/bin/myscript must become RCFILE_01=/usr/bin/myscript
06:11
<DawnLight>
ogra: is there a recommended place?
06:12
<ogra>
no, up to you, just make sure the path is right
06:12
<DawnLight>
aight
06:12
or else it is barbecue
06:12
<ogra>
since we dont use lts.conf in ltsp5 by default its all up to you there as soon as you use that file :)

Does anyone has used a terminal printer on kiosk mode of LTSP5?
07:21
I've tried the same way of normal LTSP5 and it didn't work...
07:21
<DawnLight>
at one client's boot, i read, right after "DEFAULT DEPTH: 16", "0 value set" and then "0 true" and then it repeats a few times. this takes some 10 seconds. what is this?

jammcq, lets see i have some issues with my passport now that your country requires me to register before entering it i have to solve these first
07:28
<Guaraldo>
jammcq: Did you ever used a terminal printer on kiosk mode of LTSP5?
07:28
<jammcq>
ogra: that's easy tho. just a website you need to go to
07:28
Guaraldo: nope
07:28

jammcq, yes, but my adress doesnt match the one in my passport i need an update

ours either (swiss)
07:29

at least short term :)

ogra: that registration thing is just to avoid filling out the paper form when you are on the airplane
07:29

jammcq, oh, i didnt know, i thought they chack the data actually .... they should know by now that i'm not up for terror activities after i checked no several times on tehir forms :)

07:31
stgraber, well, you want to settle there ... i only want to go there for some days :)
07:31
<jammcq>
ogra: well, it's my understanding that's the reason. behind the scenes, ethere's probably other political/security crap going on
07:31
<stgraber>
ogra: right :)
07:31
<DawnLight>
did i do something wrong there? hmm... http://pastebin.ca/1044782
07:32
<ogra>
DawnLight, [ltsp-simcha] will only work if you have nameservers set up and the resolver is set in the chroot etc etc ... use the MAC of the client rather than a name
07:33
SERVER defaults to the bootserver anyway, if you dont have a different one, drop it
07:33
are you sure you need X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH ? the X autodetection should determine that for you
07:34
<DawnLight>
ogra: it gives me 60HZ by default
07:34
<ogra>
X_COLOR_DEPTH defaults to 16 in the current packages, so that and the RCFILE_01 seem like the ony actual needed values
07:34
ah, k then the values make sense indeed
07:35
looks good apart from the MAC issue
07:35
(and SERVER)
07:36
<DawnLight>
i've got the mac wrong, silly me. i have the mac with an ip in /etc/ethers in the server and the ip with the host name in /etc/hosts. it should work
07:41toscalix has joined #ltsp

/etc/resolv.conf in the clients is 192.168.0.138 and not 192.168.0.1 like in the lts.conf. why is that?
07:43
<ogra>
it gets the data from dhcp
07:49
<DawnLight>
ogra: the line in dnsmasq, the dhcp server is "dhcp-option=6,192.168.0.1". it means that the dhcp clients should get this address as the dns server. wud is wrong?
07:51
<ogra>
no idea, i never used dnsmasq myself :) in dhcp3 i use option domain-name-servers which gets handed over properly
07:52
btw there is no DNS option for lts.conf
07:52
which one are you referring to ?

i just installed ubuntu 8.04 from wiki it says to set a nic with fixed ip for the thinclients BUT I have 3 nic cards (2 uplink - 1 for ltsp thin clients) anything special needs to be done in this case ?
08:47
and both uplinks are on fixed ips aswell :X
08:48
i gues i simply set it to the 192.168.0.1 for install and then change it over
08:52
<DawnLight>
how does the client's /etc/resolv.conf get set?

DawnLight: on ubuntu? i dont think it gets set..
08:56

ByPasS, if yu use the CD insall it will offer you a chooser for the two remaining cards that are not used as outbound device during install, just pick the right one
09:01
<Guaraldo>
Does anyone know about kiosk mode of LTSP5???
09:02
I have a situation here about terminal printer on this issue...
09:04
<ogra>
Guaraldo, ubuntu ?
09:04
<Guaraldo>
8.04
09:04
<ogra>
well, you might need to install cups locally for that
09:05
you can also try to just loopback connect to the jetdirect port for the printer though
09:05
i.e. in the printer setup select a jetdirect interface and use localhost:9100 as the endpoint

09:09
<ogra>

09:09
<ByPasS>
nbd-server said it had nothing to do lol
09:09
<ogra>
tell me about them
09:09
<ByPasS>
but i guess thats not a big deal
09:09
<ogra>
ah, thats fine
09:09
<ByPasS>
and it didnt restarted inetd saying there was no service
09:10
<ogra>
we dont use it as standalone service so it moans about not having a config file

ogra : doesnt tftp needs to be set as a service tho ? fresh install and client cant tftp in
09:20
<ogra>
should be run by inetd
09:20

i think i found that by default
09:20
it was set to not run as a service

<toscalix>
hi all, Ijust sent an e-mail to the disscuss mailing list with an idea we have related with massive extraction of information from PC using ltsp
09:22
<ByPasS>
ogra : cat tftpd-hpa
09:22
#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
09:22
RUN_DAEMON="no"
09:22
OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"
09:22
root@linux:/etc/default#
09:23
<toscalix>
we are thinking about using ltsp for doing this
09:23
and I would like to listen your suggestions
09:23
<ogra>
ByPasS, thats the right setup
09:24
it should be in inetd.conf
09:24
<DawnLight>
how ByPasS you might need to restart the inetd
09:24
s/how//
09:24
<ByPasS>
thats what im thinking since the 3 lines got added to inetd
09:24
but during apt-get install it refused to start it saying there was no service or whatever
09:24
sec trying that
09:25
<DawnLight>
how do i specify the grp:alt_shift_toggle thing?

hi
13:12
does anyone can help me with K12LTSP
13:13

maybe. try asking a question
13:13
<yogesh>
do u have idea about ntlm authentication or proxy authenticatio
13:14
<empiric>
laga hi all i have boot my thin client i have a local hard disk attached to it how i can access tat disk from
13:15
<yogesh>
my problem is i need to authenticate thin client user and i have to ways to do it either ntlm or proxy
13:15
and i havent been able to integrate both
13:16
does anyone have idea about proxy authentication in client
13:17
hey hello
13:17
<empiric>
hey any one works on ltsp load balancing
13:18x86 has quit IRC
13:20vagrantc has joined #ltsp
13:31
<yogesh>
anyone there
13:31
<laga>
yogesh: patience is a virtue :)
13:32
also, your problem probably isn't exactly LTSP specific i guess
13:32
<yogesh>
yep was just confused if everything is fine with irs or not
13:33
i am working on k12ltsp and need to have some authentication on the client
13:34
presently we have ntlm and proxy authentication so i was searching for a way to integrate them
13:35
laga : i hope i made clear what i am stuck at
13:35
<laga>
i never used stuff like that so i can't help you. maybe someone else can. i don't why it should be different from a normal linux setup
13:35
yogesh: no, not to me at least.
13:38
<yogesh>
ok i will try to explain in more detail, in case of LTSP, if the server has access to internet all the clients also have access to internet. But my problem is i have to give access to only authorized person on the client to access net. so need some authentication system. At present we use non ltsp system which uses ntlm and proxy authentication
13:39
laga : i hope u got it
13:40
<laga>
yogesh: ah. that's not really specific to LTSP. in case of LTSP, all apps are running on the server so you just need to come up with a solution that works on the server and you should be good.
13:42
<yogesh>
yeah but it is related to LTSP
13:43
ok my other problem is in need to stop unnecessary services running for client. like i dont need gdm and only need to load firfox
13:44
<laga>
i didn't know gdm loaded on the clients..
13:46
<yogesh>
even i am not sure but it shld run something to load all those menus and gnome environment
13:46
<vagrantc>
yes, but that typically runs on the server
13:46
<laga>
it's probably running LDM, but i'm not familiar with k12ltsp
13:46
<vagrantc>
k12ltsp is ltsp 4.x
13:47
so not ldm
13:47
<yogesh>
do u have idea how to stop tht
13:47
<vagrantc>
with k12ltsp, you're going to need to log in somehow ...
13:47
so stopping your login manager doesn't seem like a good idea.
13:48
<cliebow>
yogesh:wouldnt it be easier to log into squid?
13:49
unless you have like a trillion users..
13:49
<yogesh>
log in directly into squid??
13:49
<cliebow>
i think squid authentication keeps users without pw from accessing net..
13:50Pascal_1 has joined #ltsp
13:50
<yogesh>
yeah thts ok, but since the server has authenticated all the client are not asked for password
13:50
<vagrantc>
you can't authenticate by ip.
13:51
<yogesh>
so one log in will be enough for all the client under a server
13:51
<cliebow>
uhh..not sure..you might ping dtrask..i think hee does this
13:52
<yogesh>
yeah squid server will be receiving the ip of the server all the time, since server is the getway
13:52
and never get the client ip
13:52
i hope ur getting me
13:53DonSilver has joined #ltsp
13:53
<vagrantc>
yogesh: i think we totally get you. the issue is that the server has a single ip address, and you need to configure squid to authenticate based on something other than ip address.
13:54
<yogesh>
even the mac authentication is not fisible
13:55
<laga>
user agent?
13:55
<yogesh>
coz its like cyber type environment so user keep changing and machines r fixed
13:55
have to authenticate user
13:57
i searched the net and couldnt find anything related to it
13:58
hope u all r getting me

14:12
vagrantc: Is the joystick stuff still necessary in Lenny (the manual install)?
14:12
<laga>
yogesh: maybe you can modify the user agent for each PC (assuming each PC has its own user)
14:15
<yogesh>
laga: how is tht done
14:15
<laga>
somewhere in firefox i guess ;)
14:15
but i dont know if squid can use that for auth
14:17
<yogesh>
laga: do u mean there is some user agent in fire fox
14:17

yes
14:19Pascal_1 has quit IRC
14:19

laga: how to access tht user agent
14:20

14:21
<yogesh>
oh
14:28
<vagrantc>
sutula: there was a bug report filed earlier today about that.
14:28
sutula: yes, joystick is needed to use serial support
14:29
<cdealer>
hey ... how do I remove the pcspkr beep on clients?
14:29
<sutula>
vagrantc: In the client chroot?
14:29
<vagrantc>
sutula: yes.
14:29
<elisboa>
cdealer: you can unload it's module
14:29* sutula puzzles...
14:30
<vagrantc>
sutula: in etch, it was installed pseudo-manually.
14:30
<sutula>
vagrantc: I updated (recreated) the chroot a number of times, without installing joystick, and it continued to work, previously
14:30
<cliebow>
any consensus what terminals to use if i can convince the school to get 40 terminals?
14:30
<cdealer>
elisboa, I did rmmod pcspkr on server and put it on /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist too but still beeps
14:31
<elisboa>
so, I don't know what cant it be :(
14:31
<vagrantc>
sutula: itais is the one who filed the bug report ... i haven't confirmed it myself.
14:31
<sutula>
vagrantc: I'll take a look and maybe can help with it, since I need to get this working ASAP...maybe tonight
14:31alkisg has joined #ltsp
14:32
<vagrantc>
sutula: should just amount to installing joystick in the chroot.
14:32
sutula: and setting X_MOUSE_DEVICE *and* X_MOUSE_PROTO ... not sure on the exact variable names ...
14:32
the protocol must match the ones used by inputattach
14:32
<sutula>
vagrantc: I'll start there, and also look at the bug...maybe I can help check it out
14:33
vagrantc: It isn't RC, is it? :)
14:33
<vagrantc>
sutula: definitely not RC.
14:33* sutula needs to fix a RC bug
14:33
<sutula>
:)
14:33
<vagrantc>
since serial mice users != all mouse users
14:37
<warren>
cdealer: on fedora I have to use "install pcspkr /bin/true" to truly blacklist it. Not sure why.

don't blame me if it doesn't help
14:47
it works on Fedora
14:51elisboa has quit IRC
14:52

it wont in ubuntu, unless you also remove it from the initramfs
14:53
<warren>
oh
14:53
<ogra>
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 update-initramfs -u && sudo ltsp-update-kernels
14:53
that should propagate the changes into your initramfs
14:58
<cdealer>
ogra, thanks, will do it now.. I can stay with "install pcspkr /bin/true" before running that command ?
14:59
<ogra>
in ubuntu you usually put in a line like: blacklist pcspkr
14:59
like the other lines in that file
14:59
<sutula>
vagrantc: Another question...does Lenny currently use the update-image stuff? I didn't see it build the image during ltsp-build-client, but see it in /usr/sbin.
15:00
<vagrantc>
sutula: not by default. there's a commandline option for it... --squashfs-image i think
15:00
sutula: or you can do it all manually
15:01
<sutula>
vagrantc: So it's unnecessary at this point?
15:01
<vagrantc>
sutula: well, necessary if you want those features
15:01
<sutula>
s/unnecessary/unused by default/
15:02
<vagrantc>
sutula: yes, unused by default on debian

Hi - I'm going to have a number of computers that I want to turn in to LTSP clients. However, I don't know what network cards they use, and i won't be able to find out. Is it possible to make a boot CD for the clients that can boot any nic?
20:02

if they can pxe boot.. it'll just work
20:02

Bill mentioned that he worked with you alot a while back.
20:35
I was wondering what I missed since its been a while since I've messed with LTSP, I set it up on my ubuntu box here (lts 8.04) and when I boot a client it only boots to a shell.
20:35
any way to get X up and running?
20:36
<rjune>
install ubuntu-desktop
20:36
yeah, I worked for lumen for a while
20:36
they got out of LTSP
20:36
<RiXtEr>
yeah
20:37
rjune: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? or is there an ltsp specific command for it?
20:37
<rjune>
Iif you're using ubuntu, then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should do it
20:38
<RiXtEr>
ubuntu desktop is already the newest version.
20:39
<rjune>
then you should have X installed and running
20:43
<RiXtEr>
its not booting up with the client machines.
