hi
04:40
I'm trying to mount sata local device in ltsp 4.2 with debian 4.0The kernel for the client is 2.6.20.9-ltsp-1
04:40
but there is no modules for sata
04:40
in this kernel
04:40
am I missing something or
04:40
I'm doing something wrong?
04:42
do I have to include them by hand?

<Nubae>
hey, has ltsp been ported to any of the bsds?
05:33
<rjune>
historically LTSP is more a configuration then anything else.
05:33
so yes.
05:33
you can install it and run it on BSD
05:33
it's been installed and run on wind32
05:34
<Nubae>
really on win32?
05:34
but what I meant is, has someone already packaged it like for debian/ubuntu/suse/fedora?
05:35
<rjune>
no
05:36
later stuff would require actual porting
05:36
ltsp4.x is the only version I'm aware of that's been run on anything other then linux
05:36
well, pre ltsp4
05:36
<Nubae>
k, cool, might be worth trying to run 5.0 on freebsd
05:37
<rjune>
viele gluck
05:37
<Nubae>
heh...
05:37
<rjune>
easier to do on bsd then on win32
05:38
<Nubae>
I imagine :-)

any of you have sound working via rdesktop connecting to w2k3 on ltsp5?
05:53Nubae has quit IRC
05:54Nubae has joined #ltsp
05:58
<alkisg>
chrisjrob, yes, I have
05:58
<chrisjrob>
is that from a screen script or from within a normal ltsp session?
05:58
<alkisg>
Well, the screen script works ok,
05:59
in a normal session the sound is played on the ltsp server, but***
05:59
...let me found the command....
05:59
padsp rdesktop -r sound:local host
05:59
To redirect the sound to the client
06:00
<chrisjrob>
thanks, that's fantastic to know it's does work...
06:00
<alkisg>
But you waste bandwidth this way...
06:00
Better to do it either with the script, or as a local app inside the ltsp session
06:01
<chrisjrob>
Great pointers. For some reason padsp rdesktop -r sound:local bombs out with
06:02
rdesktop: pcm_params.c:2351: sndrv_pcm_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0' failed.
06:02
as soon as sound is played within the rdesktop session
06:03
<alkisg>
hmm, I've no details here, just found the tip, tried it, it worked for me and that was all, I don't use rdesktop because I don't have ts cal licenses!! :)
06:03
<chrisjrob>
At least I know it *can* work - I will just have to persevere and/or try the alternatives you suggested!
06:03
<alkisg>
Ubuntu 8.04
06:03nantes_geek has quit IRC
06:04
<chrisjrob>
Thanks alkisg.
06:04
<alkisg>
chrisjrob, you'll need gigabyte connection between ltsp/windows servers for this,
06:04
better try the alternatives. You're welcome.
06:07
<chrisjrob>
Thanks alkisg, we have gb, and all Windows sounds are switched off, so it *should* only be used occasionally
06:07
<alkisg>
OK, no problem then. Just find a way to bypass the error.
06:08
<rjune>
chrisjrob: have you confirmed that audio works on your terminal period?
06:08
that error makes me think it's trying to play the sound, but it doesn't really.
06:08
<chrisjrob>
yes sound works within LTSP fine
06:09
we upgraded from 4.2 and it was working then using esddsp
06:09
just stopped working for rdesktop only when we upgraded
06:09
<rjune>
Ah.
06:10
rdesktop is running onthe terminal server or on the terminal itself?
06:10Pascal_1 has joined #ltsp
06:10
<chrisjrob>
rdesktop is working within the normal ltsp desktop
06:10
<rjune>
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
06:11Pascal_1 has left #ltsp
06:11
<rjune>
do you login to the linux server, then run rdesktop? or does rdesktop run dirctly on the terminal
06:11
<chrisjrob>
the former
06:11
<rjune>
ok, and you are using pulse audio?
06:11
<chrisjrob>
yes
06:12
<rjune>
have you used padsp with any other programs?
06:12
<chrisjrob>
no, I haven't - that's a good idea
06:12
<rjune>
that's why I get paid the big bucks.
06:12
<chrisjrob>
hee hee - any why I'm not I guess!
06:13
<rjune>
I think I'll give myself a 50% raise.
06:13
crap, 150% of 0 == 0
06:13
<chrisjrob>
oh well, think of the job satisfaction!
06:13plamengr has joined #ltsp
06:13
<rjune>
LOL
06:13
funny, my boss says that.
06:14
<chrisjrob>
that's why *he's* paid thebig bucks!
06:14
<rjune>
not to hear him he isn't.
06:14
but then it's not politic to tell your employees you can't pay them much because you need a new car
06:14
or two
06:15
<chrisjrob>
too true.
06:16
i guess i'd better reboot into a pxe session, so I can try this sound thing
06:16
<rjune>
anyway, I hope you track down your problem, right now I'm guessing it's padsp that's holding you up
06:16
<chrisjrob>
thanks rjune.
06:16japerry has joined #ltsp
06:16
<rjune>
chrisjrob: you might look at rebuilding rdesktop
06:17
rdesktop -h makes me think that it may support other audio drivers.
06:18
<alkisg>
chrisjrob, does rdesktop run OK locally? (screen script or local app?)
06:19
<chrisjrob>
rjune I hadn't seen that option - I will test
06:19
alkisg I haven't played with local apps yet, but I will try screen script
06:20
<alkisg>
Anyway, you may run env DISPLAY=:6 rdesktop .... from a client console to see how rdesktop would look as a local app, to see if you prefer it this way.
06:20
It will popup inside the ltsp session
06:20
<chrisjrob>
I did not know that
06:20Guaraldo has joined #ltsp
06:21
<alkisg>
But local apps still have a long way to be easy for users... :)
06:21
<rjune>
that's why I asked, you were talking as if either way could be used.
06:21
alkisg: that's true, but rdp is hardly a local app at this point. it's more like an alternate config.
06:21
<chrisjrob>
I've been using seamlessrdp to try and make Windows work seamlessly
06:22
painful
06:22
<alkisg>
rjune, yeah, running things as root is not much of an alternative! Just to see how that goes...
06:23* rjune shrugs, rdesktop as root on a terminal? somehow I don't see that doing much damage
06:23
<rjune>
historically you used to be able to do SCREEN_X = rdp
06:24
<alkisg>
Well, if I understand the local-apps-plan correctly, users are supposed to be authenticated locally (on the client) and apps would run with their user id...
06:24
<rjune>
that's local apps
06:24
i've never used ltsp5
06:24
i was active in ltsp4
06:24
<alkisg>
I've never used ltsp4, I'm new! :P
06:25
But SCREEN_X works OK now as well
06:26
<chrisjrob>
I was using ltsp4,2, but I was just finding it harder and harder to get newer PCs working
06:27
<alkisg>
Pffft... newer clients... who needs them? Still have 10 year old PCs at school, can't find the money to even buy new mice... :)
06:27
<chrisjrob>
but it was a nightmare having to store new pcs, whilst we continued to use decade old equipment
06:28
but I still think 4.2 was great - and loads of advice everywhere to solve issues like mine!
06:28
<alkisg>
Yeah, the documentation now is lacking, can't even tell if it's for 4.x or 5.0...
06:29
(sometimes)
06:29
<chrisjrob>
I think I can tell you now - it's 4.x!
06:29
<alkisg>
:D
06:30
<chrisjrob>
i better go and try and fix this problem, thanks all. back later.
06:30
<alkisg>
bye!

ryudo: ogra was last seen in #ltsp 15 hours, 23 minutes, and 39 seconds ago: <ogra> man Xsession says so, yes, but its not used or needed in ubuntu/debian where we rely on alternatives for that

Hi all
07:35ogra_cmpc has joined #ltsp
07:37
<ryudo>
ogra good morning ;)
07:40
Ogra reminds you that yesterday I report a problem with the several floppy icons on the desktop?
07:41
<ogra_cmpc>
i duplicated the bug already, yes
07:41slidesinger has joined #ltsp
07:41
<ogra_cmpc>
if that was yours
07:41
<ryudo>
I do all updates of all repositories available, including the chroot and i rebuild de image
07:41
<ogra_cmpc>
no need for that
07:41
<ryudo>
and the bug has no solved
07:41
:(
07:41
<ogra_cmpc>
the bits that needed fixing are all server side for that problem
07:42
<ryudo>
you can help me to fix it ?
07:42
i need apply any patch ?
07:43
<ogra_cmpc>
no, just install the packages from hardy-updates
07:43
reboot server and clients and you should be done
07:43
worked for everyone else
07:45
<ryudo>
but i try all this and not fixed
07:45
i will format my server
07:45
<ogra_cmpc>
why ???
07:45
what do you expect to be better after formatting the server ?
07:48
<ryudo>
I do not know what to do more ogra: (
07:48
i updates , reboot and the problem persist

the bug package is ltspfs correct ?
07:51
i will remove
07:51
and reinstall
07:51
<ogra_cmpc>
no
07:51
look at the bug
07:52
(ltspfs is involved but only in a minor part of a one digit change)
07:53
the bug itself is *not* against ltspfs
07:54
<ryudo>
is in gvfs ?
07:54
<ogra_cmpc>
right and glib

yeah - I think I heard about this - something with ubuntu hardy's move from gnome-vfs to gvfs
09:02
there is a patch that needed to be applied
09:03
or some such
09:03
<operador_>
ogra say "make all updates and all will be fine"
09:03
<Gadi>
if you suppress volumes_visible in gconf, does it help?
09:03
ah, ok
09:03
then, do that
09:03
:)
09:03
<operador_>
buts i make all updates and not resolved :(
09:03
no i no suppress this option
09:04
is needed ?
09:04
<Gadi>
what repositories do you have?
09:04mikkel has quit IRC

hmm...
09:10
not sure

:(
09:10
<Gadi>
ogra is definitely the one to ask about this
09:10
have you found any advice on launchpad?
09:11
<operador_>
my guess is, this bug has not been resolved yet
09:11
<Gadi>
I am sure there is a bug report about this
09:11
<operador_>
ogra says that bug has been resolved and to fix it is necessary update server using hardy proposed repositorys
09:12
but thia solution not resolve the problem
09:12
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 and try again :{

I can confirm that this bug is now fixed. I had to reboot all the clients with local devices; after doing so the icons went away. Thanks for all the hard work in squashing these bugs!

Thanks to rjune I've managed to get rdesktop sound, but only by specifying oss as the sound driver
09:36
padsp rdesktop -r sound:local:oss SERVERIP
09:36
which seems wrong to me for LTSP5
09:37
any thoughts anyone?
09:37indradg has joined #ltsp
09:38
<Gadi>
chrisjrob: nope, thats correct
09:38
rdesktop still writes to /dev/dsp
09:38
afaik
09:38
it does not have alsa support
09:38
<chrisjrob>
thanks Gadi, that's good to know, at least it's working okay now!
09:39
although how Linux sorts itself out between alsa, oss, esd and pulseaudio will
09:40
remain a mystery to me!
09:47
<ogra>
operador_, so with every client you switch on you get an additional floppy icon on all desktops ? (thats beeen the bug) or does it only show these two everywhere ? there i would suspect that your servers floppy is simply showing up
09:47
<operador_>
operador_, so with every client you switch on you get an additional floppy icon on all desktops ? yes
09:47
6 clients
09:47
<ogra>
chrisjrob, esd and oss are dead dogs since quite a while .... all you have left is alsa (drivers) and pulse (sound mixing)
09:47
<operador_>
6 floppy

about time someone fixes rdesktop :)

10:09
<warren>
can someone tar up their /etc on the latest Edubuntu so I can read the scripts?
10:09
in particular I want to read the Xsession stack
10:12
<ltsppbot>
"ogra" pasted "Xsession" (119 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/549
10:13
<ogra>
warren, does that suffice ?
10:13
btw ubuntu and edubuntu are identical ... edubuntu just adds different artwork and some apps to ubuntu
10:13
<warren>
ogra: oh, doesn't include any other scripts?
10:14
<ogra>
there is Xsession.d wiht a bunch of stuff that gets sourced by Xsession
10:14
(as you can see following the SYSSESSIONDIR variable in the code)

by formatting anything ...

I honestly do not know, because if this bug continues the situation not change much, and I want to be sure this not my fault
10:24
<ogra>
well, but if you made clean install without changes and only applied the updates it wont be different the next time you do that
10:24
did you edit ay files or scripts ?

warren: i think simply adding an ldm.xsession for specifying the Xsession file would be a good first step ... and only add it if specified ... then anyone using LDM_SESSION and specifying an Xsession would still work fine.

<Comete>
is it possible, with ltsp 5, to use nbd_swap with some machines and local_swap with others on the same network ? and how can i know which one a started thinclient uses ?
16:07
<Nubae>
if you use 2 different chroots
16:07
yeah sure
16:07
and assign chroot via mac address
16:12
<Gadi>
Comete: I believe you can do it with 1 chroot and lts.conf
16:13
USE_LOCAL_SWAP
16:13
NBD_SWAP
16:13
and just make them Y/N depending upon MAC address

18:22
<ace_suares>
Hee lns,
18:22
isnt q-funk the guy from the thin cans ?
18:22
<Lns>
barbosa, as long as the NIC has PXE boot functionality, you should be ok
18:22
ace_suares, afaik he's from Symbio Technologies
18:23
<vagrantc>
gadi's symbio
18:23
<Lns>
oooh yeah
18:23
<ace_suares>
hmm symbio tech website, nice stuff.
18:24* Lns confuses q-funk & gadi for some reason
18:24
<ace_suares>
I did quite a lot of research on thin clients 2 yrs ago and never stumbled on thin can's or symbia...
18:24
I knew his name was startng with q :-)
18:25
<Lns>
vagrantc, where does q-funk work, do you know?
18:25
so weird, i've been working w/him on the geode driver issues but i thought he was doing it as part of symbio's thin client testing too (guess i was wrong heh)
18:26
<vagrantc>
i don't know.
18:26
<ace_suares>
lns artecgroup thin can uses thatone too so it figures ?
18:27
<Lns>
ace_suares, does it? are you having issues w/it?
18:27
<ace_suares>
yep it wont start x
18:27
<Lns>
ah yes you are ;) you need to update the chroot to q-funk's ppa
18:27
<ace_suares>
te screen stays black
18:27
martin from artecgroup mailed me to use their repo
18:28
You need to add my PPA to sources.list in the chroot, update and rebuild
18:28
the boot image:
18:28
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/q-funk/ubuntu hardy main
18:28
Then, X should finally work as expected.
18:28
<Lns>
yeah it just got fixed, i just got a call from a client actually and said their thin clients (koolu) started booting to LDM like an hour ago ;)
18:28
<ace_suares>
thats what he said
18:28
i did it
18:28
maybe i did it wrong it dodnt work.

did you ltsp-update-image?

<Lns>
ace_suares, did you remove the -amd package too?
18:31
I think that's what got it going for me
18:31
<ace_suares>
lns what is taht and how to do it ?
18:32
<Lns>
sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-amd
18:32
and then sudo ltsp-update-image --arch i386 ;)
18:32
-amd is a transitional package that needs to be purged after updating to q-funk's ppa
18:33
for -geode and -nsc
18:33
<ace_suares>
lns someone needs to make a webpage about that @#$@#$@#$
18:33
<Lns>
ace_suares, it's fairly new knowledge...
18:33
;)
18:33
<ace_suares>
lns you have a thin can !?
18:33
<Lns>
no i have Koolu
18:33
<ace_suares>
lns all the more reasons to make a webpage, you'll get hits :-)
18:33
<Lns>
that's what Ubuntu wikis are for ;)
18:34
you did remind me though, i'm going to update my own wiki for that too
18:34
<ace_suares>
lns is that a phone, the koolu ?
18:34
(btw means ass in latin slang).
18:34
<Lns>
no, they sell thin-clients too (just buried in their site)
18:34
<ace_suares>
ah yah
18:35
299 USD
18:35
the thin can is 100 EUR
18:35
<Lns>
199 actually, 299 is their "netstation"
18:35
wow, good price
18:35
kind of unprofessional look though, but if that doesn't matter,.. =)
18:35
<ace_suares>
lns cant find the netstation on loolu website
18:36
yes the thin can is sharpedged and easy unscrewable
18:36
not too good for the schools i am trying to reach
18:36
<Lns>
ah
18:36
so you're in the educational sector too eh?
18:36* Lns likes to hear about others working ltsp into schools
18:36

<ace_suares>
I've got another baffliong problem tough
18:45
baffling
18:46
yday i switched to compiz on my 3-screen multihead xinerama desktop/server
18:46
it works cool after an evening of testing the badly documented compiz features
18:46
today I start the thin client (not a thin can but a disklessworkstations one)
18:47
but I can see there are visual effects now from compiz there too in a completely different user
18:47
and its slow and stuff
18:47
now I went to system->pref->adva deskt setting
18:47
and it was indeed on the middle 'normal' instead of none what is was before
18:48
i switched to none
18:48
and now I can not login to the tc with that user
18:48
actually it logs in and out straight away

http://pastebin.com/m2e91fab this is xsession-errors I think its Xgl that made the problem
18:55
<Lns>
ace_suares, i remember having that problem right after upgrading to gutsy
18:55
i forgot what it was you had to do...some simple cmd though
18:55
to do w/xgl
18:55
<ace_suares>
compiz/xgl was intrioduced as standard in gutsy
18:55
<ogra>
no
18:55
xgl was never ever supported in ubuntu
18:56
its wild crack ....
18:56
<ace_suares>
hey ogra ! moin !
18:56

well, i'm aout to go to bed, but evening :)
18:56

18:56
<ace_suares>
he he sweet dreams then
18:57
I just arrived a thin can from artecgroup
18:57
lns helped me witht he extra things you need to do to get it wroking
18:57
<ogra>
yeah, saw the backlog
18:57
<ace_suares>
oh okay
18:57
so id ont need xgl for compiz ?
18:57
<ogra>
the 8.04.1 CD will coe out soon and have these fixes included i hope
18:57
<ace_suares>
maybe it was cairo-dock then that i needed it for.
18:57
ohhh ! great !
18:58
<Lns>
ogra, have you tested desktop effects w/ltsp lately in hardy?
18:58
if so, how is it? i know you said before it works pretty well
18:58
<ogra>
you should nee xgl only with a small subset of ati cards that dont support AIGLX
18:58
Lns, nope
18:58
i havent touched any effects in hardy at all for ltsp
18:58
<Lns>
ah
18:58
<ogra>
i dont have the HW for that
18:58
my clianets all are non GL thingies
18:59

18:59
<Lns>
ogra, do you use mostly disklessworkstations?
18:59GodFather has joined #ltsp
18:59
<ace_suares>
ogra: but since i use compiz on the desktop/server the tc's also seem to use it
18:59
the 'appearance' was switched to 'normal' instead of none.
18:59
<ogra>
i have two thin cans as well, some compaqs and some from rangee
18:59
<Lns>
ace_suares, i'm pretty sure ltsp, by default, turns off desktop effects when logging in
18:59
<ace_suares>
and I didnt install xgl on the chroot :(
19:00
<ogra>
and a set fro disklessworkstaions, yes
19:00
<ace_suares>
lns: well in the appearance tab from system->preferences in gnome, it was on normal now not none... !
19:00
<Lns>
cool
19:00
ace_suares, that's with a newly created user?
19:00
<ace_suares>
I moved it to none and now it wont login for loinger then 10 secs see the pastebin
19:00
lns no with an existing user but I never log in with that user on the server
19:01
<ogra>
but i do most of my work in virtualbox nowadays, apart from real world testing
19:01
<ace_suares>
lns now today i did login on the server and it works okay
19:01
<Lns>
ogra, if you're ever interested i have a spare koolu thin client i can ship ya
19:01
i'd need it back eventually though (when i move my own office to ltsp ;) )
19:01
<ace_suares>
ogra and i could spare a thin can, I got two :-)
19:02

Lns, canonical has plenty of koolus in the QA lab in montreal

you can disable xgl somehow with a setting in ~/.config or ~/.local if you dont want to uninstall it
19:18
it migth get you into other problems as well
19:19

lol but why is it looking for an nvidia driver ? the thin can has none ...

(xgl is not in sync with Xorg ... its a totally separate project replacung your X server)
19:19
<ace_suares>
ogra oh.
19:19
I will uninstallit :-)
19:19
<ogra>
no idea i dont touch it :)
19:19
but i would suspect a startup script that checks for available GL support
19:20
<ace_suares>
gonna reboot X
19:20
maybe see you ont he other side

19:22
my entire desktop setup gone, worked on it for 3 hrs yday :-(
19:22
lol
19:23
<ogra>
because of removing xgl ?
19:23
<ace_suares>
oh yeah :-)
19:23
no compiz anymore :-)
19:23
<ogra>
indeed
19:24
<ace_suares>
xgl made my gnomepanels 3-screeniwde
19:24
<ogra>
likely rather compiz :)
19:24
<ace_suares>
now it is only one screen wide with the same amount of carefully placed icons :-)
19:24
<ogra>
oh, thats fun ... ancient bug nobody seems to look at upstream
19:25
<ace_suares>
life with multihead is not so easy :-)
19:25
like OO on screen 3, does file-open on screen one
19:25
<ogra>
my lappie has a touchscreen mode and i like to rotate the screen for reding news ...
19:25
<ace_suares>
that's a meter to move with the mouse :-(
19:25
<ogra>
so i suffer the sme problem of roaming icons ...
19:25
<ace_suares>
wow touchscreen does it rotate ?
19:26
oh yeas
19:26
<ogra>
you can do it mnually
19:26
xrandr does it
19:26
<ace_suares>
that why i never customized my desktops too much
19:26
<ogra>
but fo rintrepid i'll see that the rotate buttons are supported for it
19:26
<ace_suares>
ah i read something about xrandr not being supported (by my cards ? by compiz ? wtf ??)
19:26
<ogra>
xrandr is a default extension of Xorg
19:27
<ace_suares>
yeah if i swith from none to normal in appearance, then it says the composite extention missing
19:27
<ogra>
you likely read bout composite on nvidia cards (which is likely the reason you used xgl :) )
19:27
<ace_suares>
it seemed that i could get that fixed with xgl i think thats why i installed it
19:27
<ogra>
xrandr != composite ;)
19:28
<ace_suares>
yesh 2 dualhead nvdiacards here.
19:28
<ogra>
xrandr cares for resolution, multihead and rotation and the like ...
19:29
<ace_suares>
nice bug to the 'composite not available' doesnt go away when pressing or or X :-)
19:29
sorry 'when pressing OK, only when pressing X
19:29
<ogra>
it does for me
19:29
<ace_suares>
not for me :-)
19:30
I gotta find out what the trouble is with compiz/nvidia
19:30
the ltsp trouble where related to Xgl
19:30
so that will be solved now :-)

<ace_suares>
waaaa i was so happy with compiz ...
19:31
<ogra>
well, you can keep xgl and have a rc.d script for ldm that cares for it to be disabled if you are on ltsp
19:31RiXtEr1 has quit IRC
19:31
<ogra>
or an Xsession.d script checking if LTSP_CLIENT is set
19:32
<ace_suares>
yes well i'll check into that after I am certain that i need xgl to have compiz...
19:33
funny on my 'lappie' it all works fine...
19:33
<ogra>
what graphics card ?
19:33
<ace_suares>
hmm i forgot prob intel
19:34
it's an acer travelmate 2480 or so
19:34
wow my mouse is racing over teh screen just to find my terminal icon :-(
19:34
<ogra>
yeah, intel is the awesome if it comes to drivers and GL support
19:35
<ace_suares>
well in 5 yrs we will only vaguely remmeber closed source drivers for hardware ;-)
19:35
<ogra>
hopefully
19:36
<ace_suares>
yes :-) well linux/gnu/ubuntu etc has advanced greatly due to so many hard workers
19:36

19:49
<ltsppbot>
"ogra" pasted "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/85-ltsp-xgl-handler" (6 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/550
19:50
<ogra>
look if there is already an xgl script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ this one needs to run before the xgl one
19:50
<ace_suares>
cool
19:50
I iwll test that later on
