hmm, why is it so hard to find information on where to buy thinclients that work well with LTSP?
08:29
<generic>
hey mounting /rofs on /root/rofs failed what this mean
08:32
<x86>
w00t! my first thin client arrived
08:32
no server yet
08:33
<moldy>
x86: which client did you buy?
08:33
i am desparately looking for information on which client i can buy in germany that is known to work well with ltsp...
08:34
the only clients that are reported to work well are not shipped to germany it seems :(
08:34
<x86>
I'm going to use the HP NeoWare c50
08:34
it comes with Linux installed on it's flash, and suppors XDMCP, so I figure it'll work just fine
08:34
I've not yet set it up though
08:35
<moldy>
i need to know how well driver support is for graphics etc.
08:35
<generic>
helo
08:35
<moldy>
i cannot afford to buy 10 clients just to find out that required apps don't work :(
08:35
<x86>
buy just one then ;)
08:35
if it doesn't work, return it for a full refund
08:36
<moldy>
i find it hard to believe there are so few experiences to build upon :(
08:37
<x86>
I'm sure there are more
08:37
this channel usually gets more active later in the day
08:38
I plan on running 8bpp and I don't really care how the graphics performance is to be honest ;)
08:38
<moldy>
i have been googling my ass off without finding any really valuable information :-/
08:39
unfortunately, i need flash to work well
08:40elisboa has joined #ltsp
08:40
<x86>
ah
08:40
my clients wont even have internet access
08:43
<moldy>
i guess will just need to buy one :(
08:43
right now i am thinking about this one: http://www.reichelt.de/?;ACTION=3;LA=4;GROUP=EG43;GROUPID=813;ARTICLE=77994;START=0;SORT=artnr;OFFSET=16;SID=15j5bjJtS4AQ8AAHuUKaw73847de9a778de18790b485234148027

Hi, I have a quick question. Is it possible to create a computer set up as a normal local machine on vc7, but with a connection to an ltsp server on vc8?
08:46
or the other way around perhaps
08:46

hi there
11:24
could anyone tell me what's the SCREEN_01 value that I should choose for the current user login screen used in ubuntu 8.04's ltsp?
11:24
I'm using startx
11:24
and it's not working
11:24
rdesktop works though
11:24deavid has joined #ltsp
11:24
<aruiz_>
I want to have two screens one for rdesktop and another one for gdm
11:24mccann_ has joined #ltsp
11:24
<aruiz_>
mccann_: hey!
11:24
:)
11:25
<mccann_>
hi
11:25
<aruiz_>
mccann_: nice to see another gnome fellow around
11:25
<johnny>
it's not gdm
11:25
it's ldm
11:25
and don't use 01
11:25
use 07 or 08
11:25
<aruiz_>
johnny: I was guessing it was something different
11:25
<johnny>
07 is ldm
11:25
so try making 08 rdesktop
11:25
<aruiz_>
alright

brb
11:26aruiz_ has quit IRC
11:31aruiz_ has joined #ltsp
11:32
<aruiz_>
setting it to SCREEN_08 didn't work
11:32
<johnny>
ldm still comes up on 7 tho?
11:33
<aruiz_>
no it doesn't
11:33
<johnny>
you broke something
11:33
lol
11:33
<aruiz_>
plus, since the rdesktop server is down atm, keeps rebooting the 8th screen
11:33
<johnny>
well.. take out the 8 and make sure everything still works
11:33
<aruiz_>
johnny: as soon as I remove the SCREEN_08 section everything goes normal
11:34
<johnny>
hmm.. sorry.. i don't know what to say otherwise.. i don't use rdesktop at all
11:34
that's the only step i know about to use it.. is the SCREEN var step
11:34
<aruiz_>
does SCREEN_07 = ldm works?
11:35
<johnny>
sure.. but it's implicit
11:35
so i never set it
11:35
<aruiz_>
let's see...
11:35
<johnny>
oh
11:35
no space iirc
11:35
SCREEN_07=ldm
11:37
<aruiz_>
johnny: as soon as I do SCREEN_08 = ldm, screen 07 goes blank
11:37
so it seems that I need to specify both
11:37
let's try
11:37
<johnny>
stop putting the space in there.. the lexer isn't very friendly to misteps
11:37
<aruiz_>
okay
11:38
<johnny>
if i could figure out how to adjust it.. i would..
11:38
:(
11:38mccann has quit IRC
11:39
<aruiz_>
johnny: heh
11:40
johnny: as soon as you specify some screen, the default one gets overriden
11:40
<johnny>
perhaps not if you were to do
11:40
<aruiz_>
SCREEN_07=ldm && SCREEN_08=ldm worked
11:40
<johnny>
SCREEN_02=shell
11:41
that should always work
11:41
so maybe it's an x thing..
11:41
<aruiz_>
yeah, maybe
11:41* johnny glad he doesn't have to deal with windows crap
11:41
<aruiz_>
let's try with rdesktop now
11:46
this is wierd
11:46
as soon as I have both rdesktop and ldm working
11:48spectra has joined #ltsp
11:48
<aruiz_>
the rdesktop session hangs...

<Grejao>
if i already have an dhcp at my network and install ltsp, will it generate conflicts
12:29
?
12:29
<johnny>
use the ltsp-server not ltsp-server-standalone package
12:32
<stgraber>
you will need to configure your current dhcp server to send the next-server option and the filename option
12:32indradg_ has joined #ltsp
12:32
<stgraber>
if you can do that, you can install LTSP without a DHCP server, if you can't you then have a problem :)
12:34
<Grejao>
stgraber, i have my dhcp server under centos 5.1. i can configure it with specifications. Have any howto about this?
12:34exodos has quit IRC
12:34
<stgraber>
is that the standard dhcpd ?
12:35
if yes, all you need is :
12:35
next-server 172.16.1.2;
12:35
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
12:36
replacing 172.16.1.2 with your LTSP server's IP
12:37
<Grejao>
humm
12:37
ok
12:38ByPasS has joined #ltsp
12:38
<ByPasS>
quick question was the SCREEN_07 = shell was removed in v5 ?
12:38
<johnny>
why would you use SCREEN_07=shell ?
12:38
<Grejao>
and /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 need to stay at my dhcp server or at ltsp server?
12:38
<johnny>
use 02
12:39
ByPass , maybe you should remove the spaces..
12:39leio_ is now known as leio
12:39
<stgraber>
Grejao: ltsp server, this path is relative to the tftp server root
12:39
<ByPasS>
well i want to have certain thinclients to log as console and not X
12:39
<Grejao>
ok...
12:40
thanks for your help stgraber :)
12:40
<johnny>
try SCREEN_07=shell
12:40
<stgraber>
Grejao: with Ubuntu it basically means /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 as we have /var/lib/tftpboot as root for our tftp server
12:40
<johnny>
without the spaces..
12:40
<stgraber>
Grejao: np
12:41
<ByPasS>
johnny : right now i have this in lts.conf
12:41
[00:e0:c5:6c:d4:fa]
12:41
SCREEN_07=shell
12:41
and it still boots
12:41
[00:e0:c5:6c:d4:fa]
12:41
SCREEN_07=shell
12:41
oups sry
12:41
but it still goes in ldm
12:42
<stgraber>
IIRC ldm doesn't run on SCREEN 07 but something like 03 or 04 (not sure, I never had the need to have a shell instead of it)
12:42
<ByPasS>
ill try _02 as johnny said brb
12:43
<johnny>
i don't think that'll help.. it'll still run ldm :(
12:43
<ByPasS>

13:04
<ogra>

13:05

13:05
<ByPasS>

13:05
<ogra>
ha
13:05

13:05
then try again :)
13:05
<ByPasS>
O)HHHHHHHHHHHHH
13:05
kk sec :D
13:05slidesinger has joined #ltsp
13:06
<ogra>
if you want to use the file in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf you need to re-roll the image after every change (thats why we have added the tftp option)
13:07indradg_ has quit IRC
13:08
<ByPasS>
ogra is it possible that /var/lib/tftboot doesnt exist
13:08
<ogra>
not really
13:08
<ByPasS>
in chroot or just hte box
13:08
<ogra>
especially not if your clients boot already
13:08
the box
13:08
<ByPasS>
oh sec i was chrooted
13:08
<ogra>
:)
13:08
<ByPasS>

13:15
<ByPasS>
ogra : now i get a shell no login but I can deal with that basicly i want certain thin to just SSH another server to replace
13:15

Blinny, sudo apt-get remove --purge fast-user-switch-applet
13:23
as a quick fix
13:24
ByPasS, right, in script spawned shells there is no job control (it should actually have told you that at the top)
13:24

i was just kiding yea i did saw ;)

ogra: The following packages will be REMOVED: fast-user-switch-applet* ubuntu-desktop*
13:26
ogra: Something tells me I don't want to do that...
13:27
<ogra>
you dont really care :)
13:27
ubuntu-desktop is only used on installs or upgrades
13:27
<Blinny>
Really? All this time I've been not removing packages because they said they'd remove ubuntu-desktop
13:28
I thought that was a metapackage that included eeevvveerrryyytthiiinng with it - gdm/metacity/OOo/Firefox.. basically everything X
13:28
<ogra>
you cn safely do that
13:28
no, it only goes alone
13:28
<Blinny>
Will I have troubles in a year when I do the next LTS upgrade?
13:28
<ByPasS>
good thing to know i didnt removed many packages because of it
13:29
<ogra>
and as long as you use update-manager for upgrades it will be reinstalled if needed for a release to release upgrade
13:29
<Blinny>
Perfect. You are teh awesome. Thank you.
13:29
<ogra>
not me ... mvo is the guy who builds that ... i only read the docs ;)
13:31
<Blinny>
I should try that.
13:31
The tough part is finding the _right_ docs.
13:32
Half the time I'll be following a howto or install guide, only to realize it's for Edgy or Feisty.

if i have an ltsp servers with many remote users, its possible to make remote access on a specific session desktop?
14:36
<sutula>
Grejao: Like maybe vnc?
14:36
<ogra>
you can use italc
14:36
install italc-client on the server, then you can connect to each individual session
14:37
(from italc-master)
14:37
<nate66s>
i need to lock down the desktop.. is sabayon the best option? or is not still not working well?

oh man, these thin clients already have Linux on them, and they boot into X and launch some ezConnect software, which I can setup to connect to a remote XDM server automatically, and reconnect upon disconnection...
14:38
<ogra>
it works a lot better, but still isnt perfect and sadly is still the best option
14:38
<x86>
does that mean I wont have to PXE boot these things?
14:38
<Grejao>
sutula, yes, exactly,,,
14:39
<nate66s>
ogra: thanks very much
14:40
<sutula>
Grejao: I tried italc without success on Debian Etch a while back, but will probably try it again. You can use VNC, but will have to arrange for each login to exist within a vnc session.
14:41
<Grejao>
humm
14:41
<ogra>
sutula, stgraber just integrated it with ltsp5 half a year ago it didnt work with new ltsp before
14:41
the latest version even has avahi autodetection of clients
14:41
(not in ubuntu or debian yet)
14:42
<x86>
this is going to be a lot easier just setting up an XDM server rather than having to setup a whole environment for these thin clients to netboot
14:42
<sutula>
ogra: Good to know...hopefully it will be fairly painless before the school year starts in the fall :)
14:43
<Grejao>
i?m only studing ltsp for a possible call center project here at my job. LTSP have any admin painel to see all open sessions? it's possible to conect on a specific session by this panel? have any sofwtare that helps to manager ltsp server?
14:43
<ogra>
the 1.0.9 version shuld enter intrepid soon, we'll care for a backport in ubuntu
14:43
and i know there is close collaboration with the debian maintainer, so it should be in debian at the same time
14:44
Grejao, sudo apt-get install thin-client-manager-gnome
14:44
you will find it in the System menu
14:44
note that the vnc part doesnt work but it makes a good small GUI session manager
14:45
<sutula>
ogra: Is that recent as well?
14:46aruiz_ has joined #ltsp

sutula, we just dropped it from the default install
14:46
since its unmaintained (thus the broken vnc part)
14:46
<aruiz_>
hi there
14:47
<sutula>
ogra: Oh...so I won't bother vagrantc to put it in Debian :)
14:47
<ogra>
sutula, well, it just needs someon giving it some love
14:47
<aruiz_>
I just configured an ltsp server on the latest ubuntu, and it looks impossible to have a ldm and an rdesktop session at the same time
14:47
<ogra>
it as gnome and kde frontends and apart from the vnc part (which should just be dropped imho) its a good tool
14:48
<aruiz_>
when I switch back to the rdesktop screen the X server is down
14:48
<ogra>
you can send messages to users, kill apps, lock the screen remotely etc
14:48
<sutula>
ogra: I'll make a note, try to find a source package, and see if it's worth working on
14:48
<ogra>
its all pygtk and glade
14:48
and a bit of python-dbus
14:48* sutula notes, neither of which he knows, but code is code :)

if i have an thinclient without pxeboot and without floppy disk, what kind of connection i need that thinclient can do to connect at ltsp server? whats the protocol?
15:01
<aruiz_>
Grejao, usb stick?
15:01cdealer has quit IRC

<vagrantc>
Grejao: you'll need etherboot for the appropritae network card on whatever the boot media is.
15:01
CDROM, usb, flash card, whatever ...
15:02
<aruiz_>
and boot bios support for that media
15:02
<vagrantc>
yes, you can only boot from media that you can ... boot from :)

ogra : is thin-client-manager-gnome kde friendly with the gnome files it installs ?
15:16
since i kinda selected kde for the lockdown features > gnome
15:21
<warren>
lock down features over gnome?
15:21
like what?
15:22
<ByPasS>
some applications were made for that
15:22
id have to check im pretty sure it doesnt work on lastest kde 4 since the changes
15:22
kiosktool err let me check my papers here ive found that long tiome ago im just restarting the project now
15:22
it was in 4.2 time tho
15:23Grejao has quit IRC

<ByPasS>
kiosk admin tool
15:24
lets you create certain grp or single user lcokdown settings in kde
15:29
<warren>
GNOME has kiosk and lockdown settings but it isn't very well advertised or documented
15:29
most of it is hidden in gconf
15:33
<ByPasS>
yes that was my issue i had a hard time figure how to work properly with gconf
15:33
was kinda looking at an ez solution altho it might have improved since in gnome tho
15:36
anyway im working on shell based only atm to recycle some old thinclients
15:36
never tried and i need to get the network working :)
15:37
I will want a couple of X thins tho that are locked and that i can set to look win alike for dumbs
15:37
<aruiz_>
ByPasS, have you tried sabayon?
15:39
<ByPasS>
heard of but i dont think
15:40
that reminds me of something
15:40
i made research on locking down monthssss ago and I think ive saw that
15:40
but most programs ive seen or project looked dead or so to me
15:41
<aruiz_>
it's probably the easiest way to create a gnome lockded down profile and apply afterwards
15:43
<nate66s>
aruiz_: i'm actually trying to use sabayon now, but it's extremely unstable
15:43
<aruiz_>
that's true as well
15:43
:/
15:44
<nate66s>
crashes every time i remove something from the panel.. :(
15:44
<aruiz_>
which version are you using?
15:45
<nate66s>
whatever comes with hardy..
15:47

nate66s, it would be nice if you could file a bug

Q-FUNK, I just got back from that site, it's doing the same thing. I got a video of it booting up if that helps, i can upload to youtube
17:17
<Q-FUNK>
even when replacing whatever with eveyrthing that's in my PPA?
17:17
<Lns>
yep
17:19
it's a strange bootup - it has the splash screen, acts like it's detecting video for X, goes BACK to a scrolling bar from the splash screen (but no "Ubuntu" word, just the progress bar) and then goes to a blank 80x25 screen w/blinking cursor in upper-left
17:19
other ttys don't even give a login prompt
17:19
I didn't muck around in the BIOS at all, I dunno if there are any relevant settings to configure

and that was ater rebuilding the chroot, after updating the packages?
18:05

yes :)
18:10

any info on the brand of the bios and whether the settings correctly are for CRT output?
