hello
06:30
I have a problem with ltsp in edubuntu 8.04
06:30
can anyone give some ideas?
06:31
I have installed edubuntu 8.04 in a greek classroom
06:31
and the problem is tha even though
06:32
the server supports fully greek
06:32
all the clients cannot change language between english-greek
06:32
strange thing is that: gdm appears in english
06:33
at all clients but in greek in the server
06:33
I have thought to downgrade in edubuntu 7.10
06:33
because I didn't have tha issue
06:34
any ideas ?

hi, I just finished installing LTSP via alternate CD for 64 architecture and need some help
06:53
I have done this before for Edubuntu 7.04, but things have changed quite a bit
06:53
Anyone willing to help for a few minutes?
06:54
Is Ogra around?
06:54
<laga>
just ask a question :)
06:54
<happywithltsp>
Sure here it goes
06:55
I used alternate CD for LTSP install on a 64bit machine
06:55
I want to use this for my lab, not just a classroom
06:56
my lab has multiple architectures, i386, 86=64 and PowerPC
06:56
My server has two nics
06:56
Both nics connect directly to Router
06:57
Actually through gigabit switch
06:57
all other machines connect in same manner via gigabit switch
06:58
I would like to have the option to either start all the machines as clients
06:58
but not as dedicated clients
06:58
in other words, I want the other machines to start other OS as a BIOS option
06:59
<laga>
well, that should be possible. i guess they'll have a hard disk with that other OS
06:59
<happywithltsp>
To test this on an i386
06:59
I did a "sudo ltsp-build-client --arch=i386"
07:00
but after I turn on the client machine I get the DHCP trying to connect, but it fails
07:00
First question:
07:00
<ogra>
you cant connect both NICs to the same router
07:01
<happywithltsp>
I see,
07:01
Should I just unplug one?
07:01
<ogra>
also make sure to not have a second dhcpd running in your network
07:01
<happywithltsp>
I can turn off the dhcp from the router
07:02
, but should I disconnect one of the nics from the network?
07:03
Or should I do a "Internet --- Router ---- LTSP Server ---- Switch ---- Other computers"

Q-FUNK, when is the meeting you need the praise for on the wiki ?
07:05
<happywithltsp_>
Ok, I turned off the DCHP from the router
07:05
Let me try again
07:05
<ogra>
Q-FUNK, also dont hesitate to ask cr3 for more, i guess he has some good words about your contributions
07:06
<laga>
Q-FUNK: you applying for MOTU?
07:06
<Q-FUNK>
ogra: I haven't scheduled myself yet.
07:06
<ogra>
KingstonAsus767, 7.10 definately has that issue too, ldm (the display manager used for logins in ltsp) just got translated now
07:06
<Q-FUNK>
laga: for ubuntu member.
07:07
<laga>
nice.
07:07
i should do that, too.
07:07
<ogra>
KingstonAsus767, translaed ldm wont be in ubuntu before 8.10
07:07
laga, !!!
07:07
you aent already ?
07:07
<laga>
no
07:07
<ogra>
*arent
07:07
tsk
07:07* ogra shakes head
07:07
<laga>
well, it doesn't really have any advantages for me
07:08
<ogra>
you can annunce your cool stuff on planet
07:08
have an ubuntu.com address
07:08
<Q-FUNK>
these days, I spend more time on ubuntu that debian, so I figured that I might as well become a member.
07:08
<ogra>
a cloak on IRC
07:08
etc
07:09
<laga>
ogra: i already have a nice "cloak" and an email address ;)
07:10
that's why i haven't applied so far, but i guess i'll just do nit
07:10
<ogra>
hey, and members get more hugs :)
07:10
<laga>
heh
07:10
<ogra>
that should be a definate reason
07:11
<laga>
yay, geek hugs :)
07:12* ogra grins about fedora copying andscape
07:12
<ogra>
*landscape
07:13
for the fact that "ubuntu doesnt give back" fedroda copies quite a lot of our concepts *g*
07:13
<Q-FUNK>
*g*
07:13
I guess it's called "the GPL"

<laga>
dear launchpad. please be more usable. love, laga
07:14
<ogra>
well, landscape is a nonfree service canonical lives of
07:14
seems they grabbed the free parts of it and desiged their own backend
07:17
but it looks pretty identical
07:17
http://www.redhat.com/spacewalk/
07:17
<Q-FUNK>
heck, even the name as a soyuz sound to it
07:17
has..
07:18

orga: thank you very much, does that include and the keyboard switching between greek-english?
07:42
ogra: thank you very much, does that include and the keyboard switching between greek-english?
07:43
<ogra>
no, thats unrelated to UI translations
07:43
you should be able to add the right lts.conf values for that with the XKB_OPTIONS variable or so
07:44
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client-core/examples/lts-parameters.txt.gz has a list of valid variables
07:45Pascal_1 has quit IRC
07:46
<KingstonAsus767>
oh
07:46
I thing I tried
07:46
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPClientKeymap
07:47
I tried instead of
07:47
de
07:47
to use
07:47
gr
07:47
or even
07:47
us.gr
07:48
but it didn't work
07:48
<ogra>
well, gr should have worked
07:49
but not switchable without extra options indeed
07:50
<KingstonAsus767>
for my X server
07:50
I use
07:50
Option "XkbLayout" "us,gr"
07:51
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,eurosign:e"
07:51K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp
07:52
<ogra>
using: XKBLAYOUT="us,gr" XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,eurosign:e"
07:52
in lts.conf should help then
07:53
<KingstonAsus767>
i see, dont I have to
07:53
update image or recreate the client?
07:54
<ogra>
no
07:54
make sure to use lts.conf in the right place then you dont need to touch the image for changes in the config file
07:54
<KingstonAsus767>
I thing that
07:54
<ogra>
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
07:54
<KingstonAsus767>
"/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf"
07:54
<ogra>
if you keep the file there you dont need to update the image
07:54
<KingstonAsus767>
is deprecated...
07:55
ohhhhhhhhh
07:55
perfect......
07:55
<ogra>
well, you can use it, but its no fun ro re-roll the image for every minor change :)
07:55
so the tftpboot dir is the better option
07:55
<KingstonAsus767>
yes I know.... , I have drunk many coffees until now... :)
07:56
ogra can I ask you one more thing?
07:56
I want all the clients
07:56
in resolution 800x600
07:56
because the monitors are old
07:56
anu tutorial online?
07:57
I cant hear my students, talling about their eyes anymore... :)
07:57
<ogra>
X_MODE_0="800x600"
07:57
<KingstonAsus767>
I cant hear my students, telling about their eyes anymore... :)
07:57
<ogra>
should suffice
07:57
<KingstonAsus767>
in the same file?
07:58
<ogra>
try that in the default section of the file
07:58
yeah
07:58
<KingstonAsus767>
oh.......
07:58
perfect...,
07:58
I have things to try on monday...
07:58
<ogra>
note you need at least [default] t the top of the file for the vars to take effect
07:58
<KingstonAsus767>
thank you very much ogra....
07:58
<ogra>
i.e.:
07:58
[default]
07:58
X_MODE_0="800x600"
07:59
XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
07:59
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,eurosign:e"
07:59
like that
07:59
this will then apply to all clients
07:59
<KingstonAsus767>
perfect....
07:59
so to understand in general
07:59
"/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf"
07:59
overrides the default variables ?
07:59
for the clients?
07:59
<ogra>
if you want seztings for a single client add a section below with the MAC address in angled brackets (just like the default section)
08:00
right
08:00
<KingstonAsus767>
perfect....
08:00
ltsp is fantastic software....
08:00
<ogra>
:)
08:01
<KingstonAsus767>
my manager when he heard that he doesnt have to replace 10 old
08:01
machines....
08:01
he had a smile bigger that his face... :)

good evening.
16:05
is there a way to forward a serial port over the network?
16:16ogra_cmpc has joined #ltsp
16:20alekibango has quit IRC
16:25alekibango has joined #ltsp
16:29
<vagrantc>
xTs: not trivially
16:29
xTs: what exactly do you need it for?
16:30
there are a number of applications that deal with various serial hardware, if that's what it's needed for.
16:30
if it's raw serial support, not sure.
16:34
<xTs>
its for this kind of configuration: serial printer on thinclient in the basement and you should be able to print remotely
16:34
<wwx>
ser2net
16:36
<xTs>
thanks, will have a look at it
16:36
<wwx>
http://ser2net.sourceforge.net/
16:37
<xTs>
already found it, thanks
16:39
<wwx>
hm. only printer?
16:40
<xTs>
and a measuring device
16:41
raw serial support would be best, including a virtual device
16:41
<wwx>
raw support over tcp is a bit problematic
16:42
<xTs>
timing?
16:42
<wwx>
no, control (setting baud rate, bits etc)
16:44
for printing only you can make simple hp etherjet "emulator" with netcat
16:44
<xTs>
i dont know if this would work, because this is not a regular printer
16:44
<wwx>
something like: nc -l -p 9100 > /dev/printer
16:45
mhm. you can try
16:46
<xTs>
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/model_top/p-touch/9200eus.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=9200eus
16:46
<wwx>
at least this is what i used here this with cups (remote printer defined as HP JetDirect)
16:50
<xTs>
will try this, too
16:50
thank you and good night
