| 09:41 | <warren> anyone here for the k12linux meeting?
| |
| 09:45 | <petre> well, I'm here, but I just got back from vacation late last night, so I've been out of the loop for a while
| |
| 09:46 | haven't gotten to catching up on my k12linux mail yet
| |
| 09:46 | anything new to report?
| |
| 09:46 | <beakburke> ME
| |
| 09:46 | also out of the loop

| 09:49 | <warren> aside from the bug fixes in ltsp-5.1.11
| |
| 09:49 | I'm pretty close to a RHEL5-server based LTSP5
| |
| 09:49 | except my attempts to make the chroot installer work are going poorly
| |
| 09:49 | <beakburke> I just remembered that I have a machine I couldn't get FC 9 final to install on, it would crash, so I hadn't been able to do any work on it.
| |
| 09:49 | <warren> RHEL5 is missing several pieces, or too old version.
| |
| 09:50 | <beakburke> Maybe it's just better to just aim for RHEL 6 when that is due out.
| |
| 09:50 | ?
| |
| 09:50 | <warren> I'm thinking to just make a tarball containing the /opt/ltsp/i386 of Fedora 9
| |
| 09:50 | <beakburke> Leave RHEL 5 on LTSP 4.2
| |
| 09:50 | <warren> so yes, focus on Fedora LTSP for RHEL6
| |
| 09:50 | <petre> when is RHEL6 due?
| |
| 09:50 | <warren> sorry, I don't know
| |
| 09:51 | <rjune_> doesn't RH do releases on roughly 18 month schedule for el?
| |
| 09:51 | <petre> that's what I was thinking
| |
| 09:52 | <warren> history might show that
| |
| 09:52 | <beakburke> If we get it into RHEL 6 then the RHEL 5 people can just upgrade
| |
| 09:52 | <warren> anyhow, I guess RHEL5-based server is almost done with these ugly hacks
| |
| 09:52 | Next I want to move a few of the ltsp-build-client plugins into the chroot.
| |
| 09:53 | so they can run in a package upgrade within the chroot
| |
| 09:53 | as %post of ltsp-client or something
| |
| 09:53 | After that, I can probably go ahead with the planned Live Server idea
| |
| 09:53 | and there are a few core functioality pieces like local apps planned for the hackfest in 2 weeks
| |
| 09:53 | <petre> I like the live server idea, especially running from usb stick
| |
| 09:54 | <warren> petre: for demos that's nice, but it is also useful in installing both server and client at the same time onto a real machine in one step.
| |
| 09:54 | <cyberorg> warren, calling rpm from %post from rpm? doesnt work
| |
| 09:54 | <warren> cyberorg: no
| |
| 09:55 | cyberorg: if you are doing an upgrade within the chroot, it can run in %post scripts to setup stuff in the chroot
| |
| 09:55 | cyberorg: currently I have that stuff only as ltsp-build-client plugins, which is problematic if I need something changed in an update in the chroot later.
| |
| 09:56 | <cyberorg> i have found rebuilding chroot/image with update installation source much faster
| |
| 09:56 | <warren> yeah, that is another way
| |
| 09:56 | <cyberorg> that way i dont have to worry about keeping rpm and all the packagement deps inside chroot
| |
| 09:57 | <warren> Aside from this, we seem to have a lot of complaints about ltsp-build-client and the documentation.
| |
| 09:57 | ltsp-build-client in my view cannot be usable for newbies until it grows some way to choose an interface to add to the bridge.
| |
| 09:58 | meaning a GUI menu or something
| |
| 09:58 | because you cannot simply guess
| |
| 09:58 | documentation just needs more work
| |
| 09:58 | btw does anyone use teachertool or similar?
| |
| 09:58 | <cyberorg> warren, i've used a config file that user can input stuff then run ltsp-build-client equivalent - kiwi-ltsp-setup
| |
| 09:59 | <warren> oops
| |
| 09:59 | ltsp-server-setup I mean
| |
| 09:59 | ltsp-build-client is fine
| |
| 09:59 | err..
| |
| 09:59 | ltsp-server-initialize
| |
| 10:00 | any other thoughts for this meeting? otherwise I'm going back to guitar practice.
| |
| 10:00 | <petre> what about teachertool? (one of my favorite pieces of k12ltsp)
| |
| 10:00 | <cyberorg> heh i've just added those two scripts as wrapper to kiwi-ltsp-setup -l and kiwi-ltsp-setup -c
| |
| 10:00 | <warren> petre: which one did you use?
| |
| 10:00 | <cyberorg> warren, make it easy for users to implement it, even without having to read a lot of documentations
| |
| 10:01 | <warren> petre: I've heard of 3 tools that do similar things. teachertool, fl_teachertool and something else.
| |
| 10:01 | <petre> fl_teachertool, robark's latest
| |
| 10:01 | teachertool is dead, long ago
| |
| 10:01 | <warren> petre: perhaps could you talk with him to get him to port to LTSP5?
| |
| 10:02 | <petre> rob used the name fl_teachertool to avoid confusion
| |
| 10:02 | <cyberorg> if you have mono extract this and run "mono Easy-LTSP.exe"
| |
| 10:02 | http://forgeftp.novell.com/kiwi-ltsp/easy-ltsp.tar.bz2
| |
| 10:02 | <petre> sure, I'll check with him
| |
| 10:02 | <cyberorg> our google SOC project
| |
| 10:02 | <beakburke> The easiest way to make it easy for the users is to roll it into the installer
| |
| 10:02 | <warren> beakburke: the live server install might be the easiest then
| |
| 10:03 | <beakburke> yup
| |
| 10:03 | <petre> fl_teachertool's focus is giving the teacher the ability to conrtrol the users
| |
| 10:03 | <warren> beakburke: leaving only "which interface to add to the bridge?" is the only question to ask the user
| |
| 10:03 | <beakburke> well, it's the closest to the old K12LTSP model
| |
| 10:03 | <warren> beakburke: but that is almost exactly the same as today
| |
| 10:03 | <cyberorg> here is how it looks now http://www.luckylemon.de/?page_id=26
| |
| 10:03 | <warren> cyberorg: I will not run any mono thing. I'm sorry.
| |
| 10:04 | <petre> why no mono?
| |
| 10:04 | <beakburke> Sorry I'm not much help at the moment, I have to get my test server up and running again somehow
| |
| 10:05 | <cyberorg> petre, mono is evil clone by novell of m$ .net ;)
| |
| 10:05 | <petre> oh, I know what it is, I was just interested in warren's particular position on it
| |
| 10:05 | <warren> several reasons including 1) Microsoft repeatedly threatens to sue people for patents in mono. 2) Novell sold out and betrayed the community in their patent deal with Microsoft. 3) Novell violates their own license by neglecting to build parts of mono from source.
| |
| 10:06 | <beakburke> it's a poison pill really
| |
| 10:06 | unless you want to cut a deal with MS
| |
| 10:06 | <warren> #3 was a huge pain for us when we realized we were building mono from some binary blobs because Novell gave up on building from source as a shortcut. We put a TON of work into re-boot strapping mono in order to avoid removing it entirely.
| |
| 10:07 | <beakburke> I understand using it as a practical matter, when you HAVE to use .NET for some reason, but why take that risk if you don't have to?
| |
| 10:08 | <petre> then what I'm really wondering is why easy-ltsp was written using mono
| |
| 10:08 | <warren> I dunno, but I might consider rewriting it in pygtk later
| |
| 10:09 | <petre> I don't think fl_teachertool is the place for adding the ltsp bridge
| |
| 10:09 | <warren> yeah, I'm a bit confused by that suggestion
| |
| 10:09 | <petre> fl_tt is intended to be an easy tool for teachers to use
| |
| 10:09 | <cyberorg> beakburke, it was most practical thing to do for the student, he chose this to implement something of this scale in so little time
| |
| 10:09 | <warren> perhaps in the short-term, we need a tiny GUI app that lets someone graphically choose an interface to add to the bridge.
| |
| 10:10 | <petre> and having to make a decision about bridging will be way beyond most of them, and it's not really related
| |
| 10:10 | <warren> but it is crucial
| |
| 10:10 | you can't run a server without attaching an interface to the bridge
| |
| 10:10 | <petre> yes, I think a separate app may be the least distasteful choice atm
| |
| 10:11 | <cyberorg> warren, is that just for virtual server ?
| |
| 10:11 | <warren> if we have time, that app could run a dhcp client on all interfaces to at least warn you "DHCP server detected on this interface. Probably not a good idea to serve here!"
| |
| 10:11 | cyberorg: no.
| |
| 10:11 | cyberorg: LTSP on Fedora serves to a bridge by default
| |
| 10:12 | cyberorg: so all you need to do to serve to a real network is attach an interface to that bridge
| |
| 10:12 | <cyberorg> why not just the interface facing towards internal network?
| |
| 10:12 | <petre> what's the provision for a single-nic server? or isn't there one?
| |
| 10:12 | <warren> cyberorg: because it is not clear which is the internal netowrk
| |
| 10:13 | <petre> cyberorg: how does one tell, programmatically, which is the internal network?
| |
| 10:13 | <warren> petre: single nic server is so undesirable that the documentation should tell them they need to reconfigure stuff manually if they want to use it that way.
| |
| 10:13 | <cyberorg> warren, the one without default route if there are two, for one it can be default, if there are more than two user can specify manually
| |
| 10:14 | <petre> undesirable by who? ;-)
| |
| 10:14 | <warren> petre: single nic server means there is no internet?
| |
| 10:14 | <petre> no, means a separate gateway other than ltsp server
| |
| 10:14 | <cyberorg> warren, there can be another internet gateway in the network
| |
| 10:14 | <petre> mixed environment, thins and fat clients
| |
| 10:15 | <warren> petre: DHCP wont interfere with each other on that network?
| |
| 10:15 | <beakburke> but then you have much with the DHCP setting on the boot server
| |
| 10:15 | rcy has quit IRC | |
| 10:15 | <warren> single NIC definitely requires manual configuration beyond the scope of any easy tool
| |
| 10:16 | documentation can talk about things you need to do
| |
| 10:16 | <petre> I think that would be okay, having dual-nic as default config
| |
| 10:16 | and we'll just document how to do single-nic
| |
| 10:17 | <warren> yeah
| |
| 10:17 | <petre> I just keep running into cases where single nic makes more sense, so I think it should at least be available
| |
| 10:18 | <cyberorg> my laptop is single nic ltsp server demo ;)
| |
| 10:18 | <warren> the software doesn't disallow you from diong it
| |
| 10:18 | but single nic is by nature more complicated
| |
| 10:18 | and there is no one way to configure it
| |
| 10:19 | <cyberorg> ip-easy-ltsp-config.py is a python script that tells you which is the internal nic and it s current config
| |
| 10:20 | <petre> cyberorg: how does it determine which is the internal nic?
| |
| 10:20 | <cyberorg> petre, one without default route
| |
| 10:20 | the script is in the easy-ltsp tarball
| |
| 10:21 | X0d_of_N0d_ has quit IRC | |
| 10:22 | <cyberorg> evil mono binary tarball :)
| |
| 10:25 | <warren> petre: could you talk to robark about finally porting fl_teachertool?
| |
| 10:26 | X0d_of_N0d_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:26 | <petre> to LTSP 5, right? yes, I'll check with him.
| |
| 10:27 | I know he was laying off coding for a while because of repetitve stress problems a while back
| |
| 10:27 | not sure what the status is otherwise. will check and update list
| |
| 10:30 | <rjune_> heh
| |
| 10:32 | <beakburke> you know, doing a one nic setups should really only be done by someone that controls the whole network anyway, and understands what they are doing. That's why 2 nic was the default on the old K12LTSP. So I don't see the harm in making it two nic by default and just documenting how to do it with one nic if you really wanted to.
| |
| 10:35 | <petre> beakburke: I agree
| |
| 10:35 | <beakburke> make the easy simple and the difficult possible
| |
| 10:35 | :d
| |

| 14:00 | <reever> hi there !
| |
| 14:01 | <petre> I talked to robark and he said he's nearly got the next version of fl_teachertool ready for ltsp 5 on fedora 9
| |
| 14:01 | <reever> does anyone here have knowledge about an EIZO eClient 620L to use with LTSP
| |
| 14:01 | ?
| |
| 14:02 | its a 15" Display with RTL8110 NIC + RS232C + USB + Sound
| |
| 14:02 | <Q-FUNK> http://www.eizo.com/support/discontinued/wbt/620l.asp
| |
| 14:02 | <reever> with Geode Processor
| |
| 14:02 | <Q-FUNK> according to this, it doesn't have PXE or Etherbeoot
| |
| 14:03 | <reever> don't think so
| |
| 14:03 | is there a way to solve it twith gpxe
| |
| 14:03 | ?
| |
| 14:04 | <Q-FUNK> according to the specs, this would probably have a GX1 or an SC
| |
| 14:04 | <reever> yes this it Q-FUNK
| |
| 14:04 | <petre> he said he installed f9 last night but the update you mention in your 7/10 email to the list wasn't in the yum repo, said he's waiting for that
| |
| 14:05 | the next fl_teachertool sounds REALLY cool, scalable thunmnails of the desktops, and so on.
| |
| 14:05 | <reever> the problem is
| |
| 14:05 | i've lost the CF-Card with the bootsoft
| |
| 14:05 | ok i can download a version from the hp
| |
| 14:06 | but i think there can be a way to make a gpxe on the Cf-Card
