01:45 | <dean_za> Hi , I have a stupid question , I installed iptraf inside my chroot and have setup ssh access , I have set LDM_DIRECTX=True in lts.conf , when I run iptraf on the terminal all traffic is on port 22 (ssh) is this correct , I thought that the traffic was not encrypted when LDM_DIRECTX was set ?
| |
01:45 | this is with 8.04

| |
02:03 | <daduke> dean_za: I've just posted the difference in the ps output that shows direct and ssh tunneled X traffic. Note that it's on Debian etch though, but it should be very similar to your setup.

02:34 | <vpxavier> hello everyone
| |
02:35 | <daduke> vpro: hi
| |
02:35 | <vpxavier> I'm working on implementing ubuntu based thin clients to use as web kiosks
| |
02:36 | the LTSP server is a ubuntu 8.04 alternate server
| |
02:36 | I saw that LTSP should be installed on a desktop in the documentation. Is this mandatory or not?
| |
02:38 | <daduke> vpxavier: can't say much about Ubuntu, ogra is your man
| |
02:38 | !seen ogra
| |
02:38 | <ltspbot> daduke: ogra was last seen in #ltsp 15 hours, 55 minutes, and 3 seconds ago: <ogra> (which should be there by default if you biult it with ltsp-build-client)(
| |
02:39 | <vpxavier> because I can launch the kiosks after installing the environment with #sudo ltsp-build-client --kiosk, but after that I can't have the clients connecting to the internet
| |
02:39 | my server as two nics.
| |
02:40 | eth0 is connected via dhcp to the internet and eth1 as fixed ip
| |
02:40 | <LTSPTNK> doesnt it connect at all or does it give u somekind of output
| |
02:40 | <vpxavier> static sorry
| |
02:40 | the server is connected to the internet (as i can do apt-get update) but the kiosks cannot reach
| |
02:40 | at all
| |
02:41 | <LTSPTNK> awh
| |
02:41 | i'll see how my things ar put up :)
| |
02:42 | <vpxavier> i'm trying from scratch with virtualbox and tried different ways I found on the net but none is working
| |
02:42 | LTSPTNK has quit IRC | |
02:44 | LTSPTNK has joined #ltsp | |
02:45 | <vpxavier> does anyone have a link where I can find a step by step guide to install LTSP server for kiosk with two NICs on the server?
| |
02:46 | <LTSPTNK> what about your another ethernet server, the one with the static ip, what is your gateway for that one?
| |
02:47 | Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp | |
02:48 | <vpxavier> the server is a guest in virtual box and eth0 receives 10.0.2.15 as ip address, I don't now which gateway it uses
| |
02:48 | don't "know" sorry
| |
02:49 | is there a command to know which gateway eth0 is using?
| |
02:54 | ok i've found that virtualbox seem to use 10.0.2.2 as gateway
| |
03:11 | Nuba1 has quit IRC | |
03:11 | Nubae has joined #ltsp | |
03:13 | <LTSPTNK> my networks are one dhcp and one static
| |
03:14 | like:
| |
03:14 | eth0 = 10.0.0.1 (DHCP decides)
| |
03:14 | eth1 = 192.168.0.1 (static)
| |
03:14 | eth1 gateway: 10.0.01
| |
03:16 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
03:18 | <vpxavier> ok so gateway i put the same ip as ip address of eth0
| |
03:19 | I'm currently installing from scratch
| |
03:25 | <LTSPTNK> atleast it works for me
| |
03:26 | dunno if it needs to be so or if thats the problem
| |
03:26 | <vpxavier> I think this is correct but I guess the problem is in the dhcpd.conf or in the nat
| |
03:27 | I'm reinstalling from scratch to be sure
| |
03:36 | ok, so my /etc/network/interfaces now contains eth1 with gateway ip address = ip address of eth0
| |
03:37 | I rebooted and ifconfig shows me eth0 and eth1
| |
03:38 | now I'm installing ltsp server with #sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone or should I do something else at first?
| |
03:40 | <LTSPTNK> i guess that you are good for now, but remember to config the dhcpd.conf then
| |
03:40 | and im pretty sure that there are many here who can help u with that better than i can
| |
03:41 | <vpxavier> thanks already ;o)
| |
03:41 | juanpaul has quit IRC | |
03:41 | <vpxavier> now editing dhcpd.conf
| |
03:41 | <LTSPTNK> ( i use the default dhcpd.conf)
| |
03:43 | <vpxavier> i can't as my eth1 is configured with ip 192.168.1.2
| |
03:43 | <Nubae> vpxavier: in order to use ltsp inside virtualbox, u need to setup 2 virtual machines
| |
03:43 | one with the ltsp-standalone-server
| |
03:43 | <vpxavier> I do
| |
03:43 | <Nubae> another that is the client
| |
03:43 | <vpxavier> that's ok
| |
03:44 | <Nubae> when starting up dhcp and ltsp server, u then startup the client vm and it should look for the image
| |
03:44 | just make sure the 2 are on the same subnet
| |
03:45 | what errors u getting in var/log?
| |
03:45 | <vpxavier> should I change something in dhcpd.conf other than the subnet (192.168.1.0), the DNS (192.168.1.2), the broadcast address (192.168.1.255) and the routers (192.168.1.2)?
| |
03:46 | ...and the ip range
| |
03:47 | <Nubae> what have u got in /etc/network/interfaces?
| |
03:47 | <vpxavier> eth0 as dhcp
| |
03:47 | eth1 as static with ip 192.168.1.2
| |
03:47 | gateway is ip of eth0
| |
03:47 | <Nubae> and in dhcpd.conf, is the server set as 1.2, also?
| |
03:48 | <vpxavier> in dhcpd.conf: subnet 192.168.1.0
| |
03:48 | <Nubae> enable get-lease-hostnames
| |
03:48 | <vpxavier> range 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.250
| |
03:49 | how?
| |
03:49 | <Nubae> and put next-server 192.168.1.2 just in case
| |
03:49 | domain-name?
| |
03:49 | <vpxavier> ok understood
| |
03:50 | <Nubae> what error do u get when starting up the client vm?
| |
03:50 | <vpxavier> in domain-name-servers, is it correct to put my isp's dns ip address?
| |
03:51 | <Nubae> no, leave it as 192.168.1.2
| |
03:51 | <vpxavier> the clients ares installed with ltsp-build-client --kiosk
| |
03:51 | <Nubae> resolv.conf should have your isp nameserves
| |
03:51 | <vpxavier> and kiosk are booting fine but firefox is not able to connect to the internet
| |
03:51 | ok
| |
03:51 | <Nubae> ahhh... I thought it wasnt loading at all
| |
03:51 | <vpxavier> ok I edit resolv
| |
03:53 | what should be in this file?
| |
03:53 | <Nubae> the 2 nameservers of your isp
| |
03:53 | do u have bind installed?
| |
03:53 | or the nameserver of your router (the one connected to the internet)
| |
03:54 | <vpxavier> at the moment, there is: nameserver 10.0.2.3
| |
03:54 | <Nubae> is that your connection to the internet?
| |
03:54 | <vpxavier> given bye virtualbox I guess
| |
03:54 | <Nubae> yeah right... well leave that in there
| |
03:54 | and underneath add the others
| |
03:55 | <vpxavier> I'll add my isp's
| |
03:55 | should I simply add "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"?
| |
03:57 | <Nubae> yep
| |
03:57 | subir has quit IRC | |
03:57 | <vpxavier> ok so I have nameserver 10.0.2.3
| |
03:57 | then nameserver "primary dns of my isp"
| |
03:58 | thent the same with dns2
| |
03:58 | of my isp
| |
03:58 | sudo reboot
| |
03:58 | <Nubae> not necessary to reboot
| |
03:58 | just reboot the client
| |
03:58 | <vpxavier> I'm doing everything from scratch
| |
03:59 | the ltsp-build-client --kiosk was not done, I'm doing it now after a reboot
| |
03:59 | <Nubae> so what was done then, for u to test internet?
| |
04:00 | <vpxavier> I just reinstalled my server on virtualbox from scratch
| |
04:00 | on the server I can do apt-get update
| |
04:01 | May I do "sudo ltsp-build-client --kiosk" now or is it too soon?
| |
04:01 | <Nubae> on the client too... sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update
| |
04:01 | <vpxavier> the clients are kiosks
| |
04:01 | (will be)
| |
04:01 | <Nubae> yeah thats why, they have local files
| |
04:02 | or is this the first time u do --kiosk?
| |
04:02 | <vpxavier> it will
| |
04:02 | <Nubae> in that case ltsp-build-client like u said
| |
04:03 | <vpxavier> shoudl I do "sudo ltsp-build-client" before "sudo ltsp-build-client --kiosk"?
| |
04:03 | <Nubae> no
| |
04:03 | <vpxavier> ok i'm doing it now then
| |
04:03 | <Nubae> u are on i386 right for both virtual machines?
| |
04:03 | <vpxavier> right
| |
04:04 | dean_za has quit IRC | |
04:04 | <vpxavier> this will take 5 minutes
| |
04:04 | thanks already
| |
04:04 | subir has joined #ltsp | |
04:04 | <Nubae> k kewl, and u have internet access on the ltsp server virtualmachine?
| |
04:05 | <vpxavier> I don't know because it is a ubuntu 8.04 alternate server, but I can do apt-get update so I guess I can
| |
04:07 | <Nubae> yeah indeed, otherwise just ping google.com
| |
04:08 | <vpxavier> 72.14.207.99 ;o)
| |
04:08 | <Nubae> ok good
| |
04:09 | <vpxavier> in my last tests this worked also
| |
04:09 | but i did not update everything like now in dhcpd.conf
| |
04:09 | and resolv.conf
| |
04:11 | in the doc, I saw that ltsp server should be install on a desktop version, not an Ubuntu server, is this ok?
| |
04:14 | <Nubae> can be anything u want
| |
04:14 | as long as u install ltsp-server-standalone
| |
04:14 | !edubuntu
| |
04:14 | <ltspbot> Nubae: "edubuntu" is an Ubuntu variant especially tailored for schools. You can find it at http://www.edubuntu.org
| |
04:14 | <Nubae> hmm...
| |
04:14 | <vpxavier> don't need edubuntu
| |
04:14 | <Nubae> !ltsp
| |
04:14 | <ltspbot> Nubae: "ltsp" is LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, the open source thin client solution. You can find it at http://www.ltsp.org
| |
04:14 | <Nubae> damn... there was a quick link
| |
04:15 | <vpxavier> I just want to have a web acces on wall mounted thin clients
| |
04:15 | <Nubae> anyway the easiest method is isntalling from the alternate cd
| |
04:15 | <vpxavier> lol
| |
04:15 | <Nubae> hitting f4 and then installing the ltsp server that way
| |
04:15 | <vpxavier> i'm in the best situation then
| |
04:15 | <Nubae> but u can do it from ubuntu server or desktop
| |
04:16 | <vpxavier> I have the alternate server
| |
04:16 | <Nubae> heh, yeah, when u started up, didnt u use the f4 option?
| |
04:16 | <vpxavier> f4?
| |
04:16 | <Nubae> yes the F4 key
| |
04:16 | <vpxavier> which option is it?
| |
04:16 | <Nubae> enbles ltsp-server installation
| |
04:17 | <vpxavier> didnt see it
| |
04:17 | on the alternate server?
| |
04:18 | I'm boot another virtual machine quickly while my ltsp build is running
| |
04:18 | <Nubae> yeah on startup, first screen, hit F4 and u install ltsp server
| |
04:19 | sure, to check it out... in the future u do it that way
| |
04:19 | much easier
| |
04:20 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
04:20 | <vpxavier> thanks for the tip
| |
04:23 | when I hit F4, I just see "normal"
| |
04:24 | <Nubae> no should give you the option of ltsp
| |
04:25 | <vpxavier> I swear!
| |
04:25 | I booted on the alternate server image

05:04 | <vpxavier> could you gave me the command to set root password again? it says it has expired

05:04 | <gatekeeper> i'm wrong ..
| |
05:04 | in /etc/network/interfaces

05:12 | <Nubae> u should not have nfs enabled
| |
05:12 | its not used in 8.04
| |
05:12 | <gatekeeper> ok
| |
05:12 | <Nubae> where did u see u should enable that?
| |
05:12 | did u follow some old wiki instructions?
| |
05:12 | <gatekeeper> maybe
| |
05:13 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599166&highlight=ltsp
| |
05:13 | one of them
| |
05:13 | <Nubae> ok, well, start from scratch.. its going to be quickest way
| |
05:13 | <gatekeeper> to rebuld the client?
| |
05:13 | <Nubae> when u startup the server, hit F4
| |
05:13 | no, server
| |
05:13 | <gatekeeper> ok
| |
05:13 | <Nubae> when u startup with the cd I mean
| |
05:14 | <gatekeeper> yes
| |
05:14 | <Nubae> with F4 u choose ltsp server
| |
05:14 | <vpxavier> user root is still expired on the client side
| |
05:14 | <Nubae> and it will install everything necessary
| |
05:14 | vpxavier: in the thin client install ssh-server
| |
05:15 | <vpxavier> ...before that I have to login
| |
05:15 | <Nubae> login to where?
| |
05:15 | <vpxavier> in the thin client
| |
05:15 | <Nubae> from the server... sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
| |
05:16 | then apt-get update, apt-get install openssh-server
| |
05:16 | <vpxavier> sorry
| |
05:16 | it gives errors
| |
05:16 | <Nubae> what errors?
| |
05:17 | <vpxavier> initscript ssh, action restart failed
| |
05:17 | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
| |
05:18 | <Nubae> ok do mount /proc -t proc /proc
| |
05:18 | inside chroot still
| |
05:18 | then try it again
| |
05:18 | <vpxavier> done
| |
05:18 | <Nubae> ssh server installed?
| |
05:19 | do passwd root
| |
05:19 | and then add password
| |
05:19 | lets see if that does it
| |
05:19 | <vpxavier> dont know if ssh is installed
| |
05:19 | <Nubae> did u do apt-get install openssh-server?
| |
05:19 | inside the chroot
| |
05:19 | <vpxavier> yes
| |
05:20 | <Nubae> and it didnt give errors this time?
| |
05:20 | <vpxavier> but it gave error is mentioned
| |
05:20 | <Nubae> but after the mount command
| |
05:20 | <vpxavier> just done it and it worked
| |
05:20 | <Nubae> good now do passwd root
| |
05:20 | and add password
| |
05:21 | <vpxavier> done
| |
05:21 | reboot client?
| |
05:21 | <Nubae> yes
| |
05:22 | u should now be able to ssh into the client when its loaded and check whatever u need
| |
05:22 | <vpxavier> root is still expired
| |
05:24 | <Nubae> u tried sshing into the client
| |
05:24 | ?
| |
05:24 | did u rebuild the client image?
| |
05:25 | <vpxavier> on the server: ssh root@192.168.1.250
| |
05:25 | connection refused
| |
05:25 | 192.168.1.250 is my client
| |
05:25 | yes
| |
05:27 | anyway, I think this must be something to do with dns
| |
05:27 | as a reminder, I have vista with to virtualbox machines
| |
05:27 | one is the ltsp server
| |
05:28 | the other is the ltsp client built with the kiosk option
| |
05:28 | the kiosk is booting fine but firefox can't reach the internet
| |
05:28 | the eth0 on the server has static ip 10.0.2.15
| |
05:28 | <gatekeeper> and yes
| |
05:29 | <vpxavier> sorry
| |
05:29 | <gatekeeper> nfs was the major problem
| |
05:29 | <vpxavier> dhcp
| |
05:29 | <gatekeeper> thx Nubae for help!
| |
05:29 | <vpxavier> and eth1 has static 192.168.1.2
| |
05:30 | I saw some documentation about masquerade but nothing I tried worked
| |
05:30 | (it might be because of me) I'm a newbie
| |
05:30 | <Nubae> ok, try thzis vpxavier... one second
| |
05:30 | looking for wiki article
| |
05:30 | <vpxavier> (thanks a lot for your time Nubae)
| |
05:32 | away from keyboard 1 minute
| |
05:32 | <Nubae> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinClientHowtoNAT
| |
05:32 | did u look at that?
| |
05:32 | follow that... it should masquarade
| |
05:32 | * Nubae goes for cigarette | |
05:34 | <vpxavier> ..back
| |
05:34 | <gatekeeper> away for lunch..bbl
| |
05:34 | <vpxavier> yes, i did... I will try again as we updated dhcpd.conf and resolv.conf together
| |
05:36 | so, 1st I create the file /etc/network/options as it does not exist yet
| |
05:38 | then: sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'
| |
05:39 | then sudo iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --jump MASQUERADE --source 192.168.0.0/24
| |
05:39 | but I replace 192.168.0.0/24 with 192.168.1.0/24
| |
05:39 | correct?
| |
05:42 | <Nubae> if that is your internal subnet, yes
| |
05:42 | <vpxavier> it is
| |
05:42 | I try
| |
05:43 | THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
| |
05:43 | so it has something to do with the dhcpd.conf
| |
05:43 | <ogra> on hardy yu should rather use ufw ...
| |
05:43 | http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/firewall.html
| |
05:43 | <vpxavier> and resolv.conf
| |
05:43 | <ogra> that howto above is about 2 years old
| |
05:44 | <vpxavier> @ogra: talking to Nubae and I?
| |
05:45 | <ogra> yes
| |
05:46 | <vpxavier> and I should only follow the IP MASQUERANDING chapter, is that all?
| |
05:46 | <ogra> ufw is run automatically on hardy startup, just add the rules as described
| |
05:46 | +yes
| |
05:46 | that should suffice
| |
05:46 | <vpxavier> I'll try
| |
05:46 | <ogra> no need for complicated up/down scripts etc
| |
05:46 | <vpxavier> as I did not make the masquerade change permanent yet
| |
05:47 | thanks to both of you... Nubae, if you have a guest book somewhere, I'll become your biggest fan ;o)))
| |
05:47 | <ogra> btw, patches to the kiosk module are happily accepted ;) if you found probs with it we can fix them for intrepid
| |
05:48 | <Nubae> in theory though masquarading should jsut work out of the box for kiosk right?
| |
05:48 | ogra?
| |
05:48 | <ogra> no
| |
05:49 | <Nubae> heh, that should be mentioned in the plugin area of the wiki then
| |
05:49 | <ogra> well, the wiki page is a proofof concept page that predates the plugin
| |
05:49 | <vpxavier> right... this is very difficult to find for noobs like me :o/
| |
05:50 | <ogra> i truned the example code from it into the plugin at a later lrelease
| |
05:50 | <Nubae> we need some serious work done on the documentation
| |
05:50 | <ogra> that too
| |
05:50 | <vpxavier> I will try to post my experience
| |
05:50 | on just doing kiosk client running
| |
05:50 | <Nubae> I've offered to help, but no idea where to start...
| |
05:51 | <vpxavier> I saw I'm not the only newbie that's looking for something linke this
| |
05:51 | <ogra> just grab the edubuntu handbook and rip out all edubuntu specifics :)
| |
05:51 | <vpxavier> that's the difficult part
| |
05:51 | <ogra> we can then rol it into a ltsp-doc package
| |
05:51 | <vpxavier> I'll share what I know...
| |
05:51 | <Nubae> ok, I'll assign myself to that then
| |
05:52 | try and include whatever is currently relevant
| |
05:52 | but where do we upload, track it?
| |
05:52 | launchpad?
| |
05:52 | <vpxavier> Thank you, for your time guys
| |
05:52 | <ogra> i think there is only one actual chapter for ltsp in it
| |
05:52 | you should be able to reuse most of it right away ...
| |
05:53 | <vpxavier> C U...
| |
05:54 | <Nubae> I'm building the rpm for google gears for the XO, should I make a .deb too for ubuntu?
| |
05:54 | <vpxavier> bye
| |
05:54 | vpxavier has left #ltsp | |
05:55 | <Q-FUNK> google gears?
| |
05:55 | <Nubae> http://code.google.com/apis/gears/
| |
05:56 | <Q-FUNK> ah
| |
05:57 | <Nubae> using it to create offline moodle
| |
05:57 | which synchs with an online moodle upon internet reconnect
| |
05:57 | should really be called client side moodle I guess
| |
05:58 | exodos has joined #ltsp | |
06:01 | <ogra> Nubae, yes please and ping moquist about it if he's around, he maintains moodle in ubuntu (and considers taking over the orphaned debian package as well)
| |
06:01 | #ubuntu-motu will be able to help you with getting it into the archive :)
| |
06:02 | he website doesnt actually talk about moodle though
| |
06:02 | <Nubae> gears u mean?
| |
06:03 | <ogra> yeah
| |
06:03 | <Nubae> gears is used for everything, not just moodle... google docs for example
| |
06:03 | its basically sqlite, javascript, ajax and other code to allow apps to work offline on the dekstop
| |
06:05 | its normally as a firefox extension (.xpi) but had to do an rpm build so it works for all users and works for weirdish browsers
| |
06:06 | the offline moodle is a project that requires gears
| |
06:07 | which olpc is building... but that will be a while still
| |
06:07 | <ogra> olpc ?
| |
06:07 | i thought they gave up on linux
| |
06:07 | * ogra met a lot of resigned olpc devs in prague | |
06:08 | <Nubae> not entirely, and the windows port will happen only in 2009
| |
06:08 | yeah indeed, everyone is pissed
| |
06:08 | but sugar goes on as its own project
| |
06:08 | <ogra> as it was before olpc anyway :)
| |
06:08 | <Nubae> which is why it was to be installed on so many new gen laptops
| |
06:08 | <ogra> just with less devs :)
| |
06:09 | <Nubae> yeah funny story... olpc got 200 shinys new laptops, painted red for the windows devs
| |
06:09 | <ogra> heh
| |
06:10 | <Nubae> 200.... wonder how much money MS threw their way
| |
06:10 | olpc europe is considering changing names, drafting up a new charter
| |
06:10 | <ogra> well, in canonical we'll (or *i*, since i'm the edu dev) focus on using the netbook remox and just have an educational app suite on that
| |
06:10 | *remix
| |
06:11 | and probably a more childish theme
| |
06:11 | <laga> 200 laptops? how many people are working there?
| |
06:11 | <Nubae> laga: my question exactly
| |
06:13 | what's nice about sugar is the colab tools
| |
06:13 | its a one click button to share any app or document with another user in the network neighbourhood
| |
06:16 | <ogra> which requires mesh networksing for which you dont even have any drivers anywhere yet apart from the hacked up olpc one
| |
06:17 | so thats a moot point
| |
06:17 | <Nubae> isnt the new classmate supposed to have mesh networking?
| |
06:17 | <ogra> it hd a chipset that supports 802.11s, yes
| |
06:17 | *has
| |
06:18 | <Nubae> and cant it use the hacked up olpc driver?
| |
06:18 | <ogra> like many oter devices
| |
06:18 | no, different chip
| |
06:18 | <Nubae> ah
| |
06:18 | <ogra> there are many out there, but as long as the wlan stack doesnt even support ad hoc you wont get that running at all
| |
06:19 | its a kernel/driver prob
| |
06:19 | thats far from being solved yet ... only in hackish ways on the very top level ... i.e. with avahi
| |
06:20 | <Nubae> well its a great feature for education nevertheless
| |
06:21 | we'll see if anyone thinks sugar is going to live past the XO
| |
06:21 | <ogra> its packaged in 20 packages or so in ubuntu
| |
06:21 | so i'd expect someone to do something with them any time in the future
| |
06:25 | Subhodip has quit IRC | |
06:27 | <LTSPTNK> any clue where i could hit some help with this AD shit?
| |
06:33 | ogra has quit IRC | |
06:38 | <aidy> guys seriously, is there any way that i don't have to redownload all those .deb files if i do something stupid that makes the script error out?
| |
06:39 | i did this ltsp-build-client --arch i386 --workstation Ubuntu which asks to enter a username to give root privileges to, and i accidentally entered 'root' and then it says the 'root' group already exists and then it says 'error: installation interrupted'
| |
06:39 | and if you try again it complains about the directory /opt/ltsp/i386 already existing
| |
06:40 | J45p3r has joined #ltsp | |
06:40 | <aidy> great engineering :( sorry for the rant but i'm getting frustrated by this
| |
06:43 | <Nubae> aidy: delete that directory
| |
06:44 | and run the plugin again
| |
06:44 | <LTSPTNK> sudo rm -R /opt/ltsp/i386 if it says that htey allrdy exist
| |
06:44 | <aidy> yes I'm not stupid... what i want to prevent is that it has to download the whole thing again
| |
06:45 | while really, there should be a way for the scripts to continue after an error
| |
06:45 | <Nubae> well, there isn't
| |
06:45 | u could try and set the user yourself
| |
06:45 | <aidy> great that's a huge bandwith waste
| |
06:46 | Nubae: yes but there was some other stuff that still needs to be done i'm sure
| |
06:46 | <Nubae> sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/fati386
| |
06:46 | <aidy> yes thanks i also know how to chroot
| |
06:46 | <Nubae> well, check the plugin... think thats already towards the end
| |
06:46 | aidy: do u want help or just to vent?
| |
06:48 | <aidy> I want help :)
| |
06:48 | ogra has joined #ltsp | |
06:48 | <aidy> im just a bit frustrated.
| |
06:48 | <Nubae> well its not our fault u didnt read the instructions properly
| |
06:49 | gatekeeper has quit IRC | |
06:49 | <aidy> wait i'll show you
| |
06:49 | gatekeeper has joined #ltsp | |
06:50 | subir has quit IRC | |
06:50 | <aidy> also i don't think there are instructions that tell you to enter a non-existing user if it asks for one
| |
06:50 | http://omploader.org/vbDdn
| |
06:50 | <Nubae> (01:38:18 PM) aidy: i did this ltsp-build-client --arch i386 --workstation Ubuntu which asks to enter a username to give root privileges to, and i accidentally entered 'root' and then it says the 'root' group already exists and then it says 'error: installation interrupted'
| |
06:51 | clearly a user with root priveledges is nto the same as root
| |
06:51 | <aidy> i don't know, that's up to interpretation...
| |
06:51 | <Nubae> it even says admin priveledges
| |
06:52 | <aidy> okay okay
| |
06:52 | <Nubae> well, not to waste time, 2 things u can do
| |
06:52 | <aidy> so where do i find out where in the script the error occured?
| |
06:53 | <Nubae> cat <workstationscript>| grep "admin priviledges"
| |
06:53 | gatekeeper has quit IRC | |
06:54 | <aidy> nice
| |
06:54 | gatekeeper has joined #ltsp | |
06:54 | <aidy> i can do that manually
| |
06:54 | <alkisg> aidy, you may install apt-cacher to avoid redownloading debs: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-set-up-a-repository-cache-with-apt-cacher
| |
06:54 | <Nubae> I've installed the workstation script lots of times and I've done it manually too... I believe its towards the end
| |
06:54 | so u can create the user manually
| |
06:54 | the one with admin privs.
| |
06:54 | <aidy> after i complete the workstation script, theres nothing left to do?
| |
06:54 | <Nubae> not iirc

07:01 | J45p3r has quit IRC | |
07:02 | <vpxavier> @Nubae and ogra
| |
07:02 | I installed ltsp kiosk with ufw
| |
07:02 | it works perfectly
| |
07:02 | <ogra> great to hear :)
| |
07:02 | <Q-FUNK> :)
| |
07:03 | <vpxavier> I just have to find how to enable TFTP boot for my clients because ufw is blocking it
| |
07:03 | deavid has quit IRC | |
07:03 | <vpxavier> but masquerading works
| |
07:03 | <Q-FUNK> vpxavier: try this:
| |
07:03 | <vpxavier> and its easier indeed with ufw
| |
07:04 | <Q-FUNK> ufw allow tftp
| |
07:05 | <vpxavier> Utra SIMPLE Firewall they said.... they were right...
| |
07:05 | <Q-FUNK> you might also wanna edit /etc/default/ufw and add:
| |
07:05 | <vpxavier> thanks Q-FUNK
| |
07:05 | <Q-FUNK> works?
| |
07:05 | <vpxavier> yes
| |
07:05 | <Q-FUNK> and it loads the image now?
| |
07:06 | <vpxavier> sorry... it boots...
| |
07:06 | but after the ubuntu logo, I have a black screen
| |
07:06 | <Q-FUNK> it's probably trying to figure out which driver to load
| |
07:06 | for X
| |
07:06 | what hardware do you use?
| |
07:07 | <vpxavier> it works if ufw is disabled
| |
07:07 | <Q-FUNK> ufw enable xdmcp
| |
07:07 | <vpxavier> I guess I have to enable another port
| |
07:07 | <Q-FUNK> ogra: actually, does ldm use xdmcp or something else?
| |
07:08 | mhterres has joined #ltsp | |
07:08 | <ogra> ldm uses ssh ...
| |
07:08 | * ogra was assuming Q-FUNK knew that | |
07:08 | <Q-FUNK> vpxavier: in that case, it woould be:
| |
07:08 | ufx enable ssh
| |
07:08 | ööö
| |
07:08 | ufw enable ssh
| |
07:09 | <ogra> i doubt he needs that ... using kiosk mode
| |
07:09 | there is no ldm involved anywhere
| |
07:09 | <Q-FUNK> ogra: then what does he need to enable? plain x11 ?
| |
07:09 | <ogra> no, jst tftp is fine
| |
07:10 | <Q-FUNK> he doesn't get his X
| |
07:10 | <ogra> in kiosk mode the browser runs locally as the session
| |
07:10 | <stgraber> tftp+nbd
| |
07:10 | <ogra> oh, right, nbd
| |
07:10 | <stgraber> tcp/2000 for NBD, not sure ufw knows about it
| |
07:10 | <Q-FUNK> stgraber: that would be /etc/services
| |
07:10 | <vpxavier> so, tftp, ssh, xdmcp, and nbd?
| |
07:11 | <Q-FUNK> vpxavier: only tftp and nbd
| |
07:11 | <stgraber> for kiosk you only need : tftp (to get the kernel) and nbd (to get the root system)
| |
07:11 | <vpxavier> I'm trying
| |
07:11 | <stgraber> ssh is needed when you connect to a terminal server which you don't and xdmcp is no longer used with LTSP5
| |
07:12 | <Q-FUNK> ufw allow 2000/tcp
| |
07:12 | <aidy> Nubae: what do i do with # get the write-permission for a couple directories and files right for unionfs echo 'copy_dirs="$copy_dirs /var/lib/urandom' $LOCALHOME'"' >> $ROOT/etc/default/ltsp-client-setup
| |
07:12 | <Q-FUNK> man ufw
| |
07:12 | lovely man page. simeple and up to the point.
| |
07:14 | <vpxavier> sudo ufw allow nbd: ERROR: Bad port
| |
07:15 | <ogra> ufw allow 2000/tcp
| |
07:15 | :)
| |
07:15 | bd isnt in /etc/services so ufw doesnt know it by name
| |
07:15 | *nbd
| |
07:15 | <vpxavier> oki
| |
07:16 | <Q-FUNK> et la? ca marche?
| |
07:17 | <vpxavier> je teste lol
| |
07:17 | much better
| |
07:18 | it works
| |
07:18 | thanks guys
| |
07:18 | merci Q
| |
07:20 | <Q-FUNK> team work (tm)
| |
07:20 | <vpxavier> @ogra: if I enable ufw, everything is denied except the ports allowed? or are there default rules
| |
07:20 | <ogra> no idea, jdstrand in #ubuntu-server is its developer ... i never used it myself
| |
07:21 | <vpxavier> ok will try then ;o)
| |
07:21 | <ogra> i just know that its our default tool starting with hardy and makes everything easier :)
| |
07:21 | <vpxavier> I will install LTSP on top of a LAMP and asterisk server
| |
07:21 | <Q-FUNK> VoIP on the kiosk clients?
| |
07:22 | otavio has joined #ltsp | |
07:22 | <vpxavier> at the beginning, it will be for SIP devices but if it is possible to have it working on a KIOSK client I won't be able to sleep tonight ;o)))

07:23 | <vpxavier> is it?
| |
07:24 | <Q-FUNK> it should be
| |
07:24 | running ekiga on the clients and asterisk on the server
| |
07:24 | I'm not sure if anyone ever tried it, but it would make a nice and simple office system
| |
07:25 | <vpxavier> I will write a wiki on my experience after that because I know a lot of office wants this
| |
07:26 | <ogra> you dont have any desktop on kiosks ...
| |
07:26 | or launchers or so
| |
07:26 | <vpxavier> is it possible to install ekiga for clients in "kiosk" mode (ltsp-build-client --kiosk)
| |
07:26 | <ogra> firefox is the session ...
| |
07:26 | <Q-FUNK> right. he'd need to create a kiosk variant with a few apps and a minimalist desktop using e.g. icewm
| |
07:27 | <stgraber> vpxavier: you'll have to create a custom session script and install a window manager + ekiga in the chroot
| |
07:27 | <ogra> right, something like that
| |
07:27 | metacity is installed
| |
07:27 | ByPasS has joined #ltsp | |
07:27 | <ogra> you need launchers etc
| |
07:27 | and tweak the devilspie setup to not force ff into fullscreen on startup ...
| |
07:28 | <ByPasS> morning ogra :)
| |
07:28 | <ogra> hi
| |
07:28 | <vpxavier> It will be too difficult for me I think
| |
07:30 | My goal is to have the following:
| |
07:31 | 1) firefox with a different home page for each thin client (based on ip or mac address)
| |
07:31 | 2) SIP softphone
| |
07:31 | <ByPasS> ogra : quick question, in order to be able to ssh in from thinclient to the ltsp server itself, is it only key/auth to be tweaked ?
| |
07:32 | <ogra> well, installing ekiga is one thing for 2) .... but you need some way to switch it on and off
| |
07:32 | ByPasS, sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys && sudo ltsp-update-image
| |
07:32 | and you indeed need a fully working desktop on the server to log in to
| |
07:33 | <vpxavier> 3) a slideshow with pictures on the ltsp server as screensaver
| |
07:33 | 4) a music / movie player
| |
07:33 | cliebow has joined #ltsp | |
07:33 | <vpxavier> 5) auto login
| |
07:34 | 6) a coffee machine ;op
| |
07:34 | <Q-FUNK> a kitchen sink
| |
07:37 | <vpxavier> is this compatible with LTSP?
| |
07:38 | <ogra> sure, but it involves hackery
| |
07:38 | its linux ... everything is possible :)
| |
07:38 | <vpxavier> ..I agree... but not always easy ;o)
| |
07:39 | * ogra didnt mention "easy" in any of the sentences abov :) | |
07:39 | <ogra> e
| |
07:39 | <vpxavier> | |
07:39 | LOL
| |
07:40 | AFK 5 minutes sorry
| |
07:40 | <ogra> so ... install pypanel in the chroot ... install the apps you want there as well, modify /home/kiosk/.xsession to run pypanel, drop devilspie
| |
07:40 | that should roughly get you into the right direction
| |
07:44 | vpxavier has quit IRC | |
07:49 | <aidy> hi i set up a workstation thin client, but when booting it up, it hangs at 'starting nfs common utilities'

07:58 | <ogra> <ogra> so ... install pypanel in the chroot ... install the apps you want there as well, modify /home/kiosk/.xsession to run pypanel, drop devilspie
| |
07:58 | <ogra> that should roughly get you into the right direction
| |
07:59 | <vpxavier> I'll try
| |
07:59 | what is devilspie?
| |
08:00 | <ogra> (replace the firefox command in the .xsession file with pypanel and you will have pypanel as session instead of firefox)
| |
08:00 | a tool that enhances metacity (teh window manager) to have capabilities like forcing apps into fullscreen if tehy open
| |
08:02 | <vpxavier> thanks
| |
08:03 | so just installing the apps on my server, then pypanel in chroot
| |
08:03 | <ogra> no
| |
08:03 | all in the chroot
| |
08:04 | <vpxavier> ok

08:08 | <vpxavier> will autologin work also?

08:08 | <ogra> doesnt it already ?
| |
08:09 | thats something the kiosk plugin should have set up
| |
08:09 | <vpxavier> yes but i was wondering if it would work in kiosk mode
| |
08:09 | OK
| |
08:09 | I'll try now then
| |
08:09 | <ogra> if you dont break it on purpose it should just go on to work :)

08:32 | Gadi has joined #ltsp | |
08:34 | <aidy> how do i use apt-cacher with ltsp-build-client?
| |
08:35 | <ogra> what for ?
| |
08:35 | just use --keep-packages
| |
08:35 | and make sure your server doesnt wipe the downloads
| |
08:36 | mikkel has quit IRC | |
08:37 | <daduke> Gadi: howdy. Back in May we talked about rdesktop on :8, remember? We agreed on me getting back to you in July. tataaaa, here I am ;)
| |
08:38 | <aidy> ogra: what does --keep-packages do?
| |
08:38 | ogra: what i want to achieve is that when i do a new build it won't download everything again
| |
08:38 | * ogra points to ltsp-build-client --extra-help | |
08:40 | <aidy> ty
| |
08:41 | * Gadi waves to daduke, and seems to recall he said end of July (after hackfest) :) | |
08:41 | <vpxavier> the exact error is can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)
| |
08:41 | <daduke> Gadi: my bad. But you're off the hook anyway. Let me just give you the short version:
| |
08:41 | <Gadi> hehe
| |
08:42 | <ogra> dont you let him of the hook !
| |
08:42 | <Gadi> it took ogra a long time just to get me on the hook!
| |
08:42 | ;)
| |
08:42 | <ogra> :)
| |
08:42 | <daduke> Gadi: Windows Server 2008 respawns the login window every 30 s. There's no way to change that (we talked to M$ directly), but it causes rdesktop to be restarted constantly and always switches to :8 from :7 if you're in X.
| |
08:43 | <Gadi> right - that one I told you how to solve
| |
08:43 | make a wrapper for rdesktop, put it in a loop, and call the wrapper from the screen script
| |
08:44 | <daduke> Gadi: what I now did is insert echo Press return to activate rdesktop... and read foo into /usr/share/ltsp/screen.d/rdesktop
| |
08:44 | <Gadi> ugly, but effective
| |
08:44 | :)
| |
08:44 | <daduke> Gadi: exactly. solves our problem.
| |
08:45 | Gadi: I might still try the wrapper at some point tho
| |
08:45 | <Gadi> nice thing about the wrapper is you dont keep respawning X
| |
08:45 | <vpxavier> @ogra: when trying to install in chroot, I've error "Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts no mounted?)
| |
08:46 | <daduke> Gadi: true.
| |
08:46 | <Gadi> (for example, your way breaks the niceties of session migration in rdp)
| |
08:46 | <daduke> Gadi: true too. Haven't gone into any such details yet.
| |
08:46 | Gadi: ok, I'll work on the wrapper tomorrow ;)
| |
08:47 | <Gadi> !seen sbalneav
| |
08:47 | <ltspbot> Gadi: sbalneav was last seen in #ltsp 2 weeks, 6 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes, and 18 seconds ago: <sbalneav> I'll pop in later tonight. Off home for the day.
| |
08:47 | <Gadi> *sigh*
| |
08:47 | <daduke> Gadi: is this just for me or also for other LTSP ppl?
| |
08:47 | <Gadi> whats that?
| |
08:47 | the rdesktop stuff?
| |
08:48 | <daduke> Gadi: would this wrapper be of a more general interest?
| |
08:48 | <Gadi> definitely - rdesktop is the bastard step-son of this project
| |
08:48 | doesn't get the love from anybody
| |
08:48 | <daduke> Gadi: I see.
| |
08:48 | <Gadi> :)
| |
08:48 | personally, I am not sure why the screen script is included
| |
08:49 | <ogra> vpxavier, thats normal moaning and can be ignored
| |
08:49 | it wont affect anything
| |
08:50 | <daduke> Gadi: I also haven't been able to make local USB devs work, but I only tried for 5 mins or so
| |
08:50 | <Gadi> hehe - that takes secret sauce
| |
08:50 | <daduke> Gadi: great
| |
08:50 | <Gadi> but, it is largely coupled to core mechanisms
| |
08:50 | so, I have to redo a lot of it for latest ltsp revisions
| |
08:51 | and then, code it in such a way as to be accepted upstream
| |
08:51 | :)
| |
08:51 | I love that we have an upstream
| |
08:51 | <daduke> Gadi: and by the end of July we'll talk to vagrantc to do the etch backports? of whatever we have at that time?
| |
08:52 | <Gadi> right - that would be the plan
| |
08:52 | <daduke> Gadi: sounds like a good plan.
| |
08:52 | <Gadi> but, first, I think we need to review the code we have at hackfest
| |
08:52 | and do some polish work
| |
08:52 | <daduke> Gadi: the one in OR I'm not able to attend?
| |
08:52 | <Gadi> and architecture thinking and such
| |
08:52 | right
| |
08:52 | the self same
| |
08:53 | <ogra> polish work ? how about the romanian, italian and german work ?
| |
08:53 | <daduke> Gadi: have fun. I hope northern CA's not burning any more till then
| |
08:53 | <Gadi> ogra: have you been taking ur meds?
| |
08:53 | :)
| |
08:53 | <ogra> :P
| |
08:54 | <Gadi> brb

08:54 | <daduke> ogra: notice the non-capital 'p'

09:23 | if I login to the TC afterwards and type DISPLAY=:7 numlockx on it does work

09:23 | <vpxavier> how to set the home page for kiosk clients?

10:22 | <vpxavier> does anyone know how to set a default home page for firefox for ltsp kiosk clients
| |
10:24 | <chrisjrob> vpxavier: any use - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxMandatoryPreferences
| |
10:24 | <vpxavier> I'll check this, thanks!
| |
10:27 | are you sure it works with kiosk clients?
| |
10:30 | <chrisjrob> vpxavier: sorry, haven't run kiosks myself, but that's how you do it for Firefox
| |
10:30 | <vpxavier> ok Thanks chris
| |
10:31 | <ogra> LastLemming, ltsp 5 was released about 3 years ago in ubuntu breezy the first time and about 2 years ago in debian etch ...
| |
10:33 | LastLemming, nfs doesnt sork with unionfs, so you have to make a lot of effort to get parts of the filesystem writable, that makes booting very slow ... nbd devices can just be used with unionfs so you have a writable fs in ram nearly immediately ...
| |
10:33 | <laga> you can use aufs in ubuntu hardy AFAIK
| |
10:33 | <ogra> sure
| |
10:34 | <laga> or at least hack it in very easily
| |
10:34 | <ogra> and its default in intrepid :)
| |
10:34 | <laga> yay
| |
10:35 | <Nubae> hmm interpretation, nfs will be faster with intrepid?
| |
10:36 | <laga> interesting point. i'm not sure if aufs will influence performance with NFS that much
| |
10:38 | <ogra> Nubae, nfs can never be faster
| |
10:39 | <Nubae> why?
| |
10:41 | cliebow has quit IRC | |
10:42 | Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp | |
10:42 | <ogra> for one nbd ists on a lower level ...
| |
10:42 | *sits
| |
10:43 | <Nubae> ah didnt mean faster than nbd, faster than current nfs
| |
10:43 | <ogra> the copying of files into ramfs and tarring up of dirs for the writable bits is still the default and i wont implement anything for it ...
| |
10:43 | <epoxy|w3rk> bleh..fixed my ldm error. Damn permissions :)
| |
10:43 | <Nubae> :-)
| |
10:44 | <ogra> so booting nfs is and will stay a pain untl someone reimplements it in ltsp ... ubuntu will stay with the nbd setup though
| |
10:44 | <LastLemming> someone tried to change ldm languages?
| |
10:44 | <ogra> which means i wont look deeper into nfs beyond applying patches for fixes i get sent ...
| |
10:44 | <LastLemming> nothing change
| |
10:48 | <vpxavier> I'm a little confused... nobody here used LTSP with kiosk clients and another default homepage? I thought this was a FAQ
| |
10:51 | <LastLemming> I don't know what it's kiosk :)
| |
10:53 | <vpxavier> lastlemming: a mode where your ltsp client boot via PXE, log in automatically and firefox is launched
| |
10:54 | (nice if you want a shared computer to be uses only for web browsing)
| |
10:57 | <ogra> add a line with: user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://your/homepage/url") to /opt/ltsp/kiosk/etc/firefox-3.0/profile/prefs.js

13:55 | if so, run: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys && sudo ltsp-update-image
| |
13:55 | and reboot
| |
13:55 | (the terminal)
| |
13:56 | if it is not related to that, another thing to check is to run: sudo pkill -u <username>

| |
13:58 | <Yoshi47> can someone lead me in the right direction of connection to an exsisting xdmcp session or atleat vnc
| |
13:58 | ByPasS has quit IRC | |
13:58 | <Gadi> you mean take over a running session?

13:59 | <Yoshi47> i wouldn't mine finding that out too?

13:59 | <Gadi> ?
| |
13:59 | what is your question exactly?
| |
13:59 | <Yoshi47> *i wouldn't mind find that out too!
| |
14:00 | <lejo_> Gadi: somehow the screen_session or configure-x.sh script is turning off numlock. It's on during the start of my TC until those scripts are executed. Can I change this behaviour or run the numlockx command somewhere in a script?
| |
14:00 | <Yoshi47> i have users here that our on xdmcp session and would like to vnc/equivelant on to it to help them out
| |
14:00 | <Gadi> lejo_: yes - numlock status gets reset when X inits
| |
14:01 | lejo_: numlockx should be an xclient, so you should be able to run it as a startup script of the X session server-side
| |
14:01 | Yoshi47: LTSP 5 or 4.2?
| |
14:01 | <Yoshi47> gentoo Xorg configure to allow xdmcp requests
| |
14:02 | <Gadi> are you using LTSP?
| |
14:02 | <Yoshi47> nope
| |
14:02 | <Gadi> heh
| |
14:02 | <Yoshi47> haven't seen the need too.
| |
14:02 | <Gadi> funny place to ask the question
| |
14:02 | <ogra> if they run gnome they just can enable remote desktop sharing in the desktop session
| |
14:02 | <Gadi> :D
| |
14:02 | <Yoshi47> yeah i figure that
| |
14:02 | they running xfce
| |
14:02 | <ogra> well, that asnt such a feature
| |
14:02 | *hasnt
| |
14:03 | <Gadi> run x11vnc
| |
14:03 | and configure it
| |
14:03 | <lejo_> Gadi: thx, that is very helpfull already! Could you point me to an existing X session startup script (to which I can add it perhaps?)
| |
14:03 | <Yoshi47> and how to i find what dispay a user has with xdmcp
| |
14:03 | <ogra> or install vino :)
| |
14:03 | <Yoshi47> so i can connect to it with vnc
| |
14:03 | <Gadi> Yoshi47: try typing: w
| |
14:04 | or: last -a |grep still
| |
14:04 | or some such
| |
14:04 | :)
| |
14:05 | <Yoshi47> ok that helps a little
| |
14:05 | now i have to configure X11vnc
| |
14:05 | or is there something better
| |
14:05 | real?
| |
14:06 | <Gadi> lejo_: echo "numlockx on || true" >00numlockOn; sudo cp 00numlockOn /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
| |
14:06 | <ogra> well, vino is what gnome uses, not sure how many dependencies that pulls in though, but that gives the user a little gui where he can enable it himself
| |
14:07 | so if he has probs he can allow you to access it ... and else he can swith it off
| |
14:07 | <Gadi> Yoshi47: just start x11vnc on boot of the client
| |
14:07 | <ogra> by just checking checkbox
| |
14:07 | <Gadi> with the "wait" parameter
| |
14:07 | <Yoshi47> i want to force it.
| |
14:07 | <Gadi> don't forget to set up some password creds and such
| |
14:07 | its all in man x11vnc
| |
14:07 | <Yoshi47> yeppers
| |
14:07 | <ogra> right, then you need to install it on the client
| |
14:07 | <Yoshi47> ok
| |
14:07 | thanks.
| |
14:08 | <Gadi> prolly some howtos on google, as well
| |
14:08 | but, you'll get the idea
| |
14:08 | <Yoshi47> would be nice to get it from the server then i would have to remeber what client they are on.
| |
14:08 | <Gadi> last -a |grep still
| |
14:08 | <Yoshi47> yep i can use that.
| |
14:08 | <Gadi> or "w"
| |
14:09 | should work, too
| |
14:09 | <Yoshi47> last -a |grep still doesn't bring up one user that is on
| |
14:09 | <Gadi> sounds like wtmp is not being updated properly
| |
14:10 | should be done by your display manager
| |
14:10 | <ogra> right
| |
14:10 | <Gadi> (yet another thing to add to the list for ldm, btw)
| |
14:10 | :)
| |
14:11 | <ogra> ??
| |
14:11 | <Gadi> update wtmp
| |
14:11 | <ogra> ldm has nothing to do with wtmp
| |
14:11 | ssh is responsible
| |
14:11 | <Gadi> ah, ok
| |
14:11 | does ssh do this properly?
| |
14:11 | it hadn't in the past
| |
14:11 | <ogra> no idea
| |
14:11 | if not, thats an ssh bug
| |
14:12 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
14:12 | <Gadi> ah
| |
14:12 | seems to work here
| |
14:12 | so, I guess we're good
| |
14:12 | :)
| |
14:12 | <ogra> ldm is responsible for .dmrc ... which ist doesnt handle yet :)
| |
14:12 | but surely not for any other login process related things :)
| |
14:13 | <Gadi> dont call me shirley
| |
14:14 | <vagrantc> Gadi: if you don't respond, then people probably won't call you that anymore.
| |
14:17 | <Yoshi47> so if i wanted to take over an exsisting session how would i do that?
| |
14:17 | <Gadi> Yoshi47: if x11vnc is running on the client once X starts...
| |
14:17 | <Yoshi47> via xdmcp?
| |
14:18 | <Gadi> then you need only: vncviewer <ip of client>
| |
14:18 | <Yoshi47> so there is no way without vnc?
| |
14:18 | <Gadi> not XDMCP, X
| |
14:18 | no
| |
14:18 | <Yoshi47> ok.
| |
14:18 | <Gadi> you need to use vnc
| |
14:18 | whats wrong with vnc?
| |
14:18 | :)
| |
14:19 | <Yoshi47> nothing, just wondering if there was a direct X way of doing it since you can start up X remotely i would just make sense that you got connect to an exsisting xdmcp
| |
14:21 | Pascal_1 has joined #ltsp | |
14:21 | <vagrantc> well, you could implement a man-in-the-middle attack if you really knew what you were doing.
| |
14:21 | surely there's scripts out there to handle that...
| |
14:21 | but that's hardly a clean way to handle it :)
| |
14:22 | <Yoshi47> nice

14:28 | <lejo_> I added an echo statement to it which writes something in /tmp but the file in /tmp does not get created (so the script is not called)

14:38 | <Gadi> try moving it to: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55numlockx
| |
14:38 | I have one just like that and works for me
| |
14:38 | mine actually reads:
| |
14:39 | # X session startup script: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55numlockx
| |
14:39 | if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then /usr/bin/numlockx on; fi

| |
14:59 | <moa> What would be the next best distro to use?
| |
15:00 | <vagrantc> well, LTSP has been longest supported in ubuntu, shortly followed by debian...
| |
15:01 | jammcq has joined #ltsp | |
15:01 | <vagrantc> but it really depends on what you mean by best...
| |
15:01 | if you're more comfortable with fedora or opensuse, those also have recent implementations as well
| |
15:02 | <moa> I'm looking for something stripped down, all we need is a few applications.
| |
15:02 | web browser, im client, and a terminal.
