<ogra>
vagrantc, hey
15:11* vagrantc waves
15:11
<ogra>
seems i really messed up my hotel booking ... i should have booked earlier
15:12
<vagrantc>
uh-oh.
15:12
<ogra>
only rooms at airport hotels :/
15:12
or hilariously expensive ones
15:12
<vagrantc>
ogra: there's a hostel not far from freegeek...
15:12
<ogra>
hmm, googlemaps didnt show it
15:12
<vagrantc>
worst case, i'm sure i can find a couch or something
15:12
<ogra>
but i guess it wont be registered as hotel there
15:12
<vagrantc>
right.
15:13
i'll look for some options
15:14
<ogra>
well, i think i'll book a room at an airport hotel for the first night or two and we can sort it out then, so i'm on the safe side if the hostel is booked because of oscon or so
15:14
that takes the pressure out
15:14
<vagrantc>
http://www.portlandhostel.org/
15:15* ogra lols about the prices
15:15
<vagrantc>
heh
15:15
<ogra>
thats quite different to what i looked at today
15:16
the nearest i got would have cosetd something like $1200 for the stay
15:16
<stgraber>
hmm, suddenly the flight becomes cheap :)
15:16
<ogra>
yeah
15:16
well, its just dollars
15:16
but still a lot
15:17
<vagrantc>
worst case, i can put a couple people up at hotel vagrant :)
15:17* stgraber loves the current conversion rate :) 1$ = 1CHF, easy to remember
15:17
<ogra>
airport hotel is around $120/night
15:17
yeah, i would take that :)
15:18
<vagrantc>
got a tiny little place that's reasonably close to a bus that goes close to freegeek
15:18K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp
15:18
<vagrantc>
but portlandhostel.org is only about 20 blocks away from freegeek...
15:18
<ogra>
anything that can hold my bag and me will suffice
15:19
yeah, looks good, i'll try to book there
15:19* ogra curses about classmate sillyness ...
15:19
<ogra>
i'D love to know why i cant get any dhcp address with the wired card :/
15:20
funnily the one that doesnt use squashfs/unionfs doesnt show that habit at all
15:20
<stgraber>
you at least have one :) Mine is still somewhere between London and me ...
15:20
<ogra>
but on its way ?
15:21
<stgraber>
should be according to last mail from Rich (2 weeks ago)
15:21
<ogra>
2 weeks ?
15:21
<stgraber>
yes, that's why I'm wonderding what's happening with it :)
15:21
<ogra>
i doubt it was snet then ... i usually have HW from the london office within a few days
15:21
<stgraber>
Richard wasn't around this week so I don't really know what's happening
15:21
<ogra>
unless swiss customs is evil or something it should be there already
15:22
<stgraber>
all I know is that I'm leaving switzerland in less than 3 weeks and it'll need to be there before that :)
15:22
<ogra>
well, he was working, just not in any public channels
15:22
(having to finish up some stuff)
15:22
<laga>
ogra try aufs on the classmate? i like blaming unionfs..
15:23
<ogra>
laga, no option, the image has to be done asap ... i cant change the design at this stage
15:23
<laga>
ah. i assumed it'd be a simple patch
15:23
<ogra>
its one of two critical bugs but i have not even a trace to find out whats causing it
15:24
i wanted to try the intrepid kernel but neither unionfs nor aufs are in there yet
15:24
and dkms isnt really an option on a classmate ....
15:24
<stgraber>
ok, I'll nag him next week then as I should get access to those non-public channels
15:24
<ogra>
(which will be the default way n 8.10)
15:24
stgraber, ??
15:24
stgraber, dont say you start at canonical !
15:24
<stgraber>
I do, for a month
15:25* ogra humps stgraber's leg
15:25
<stgraber>
QA team stuff
15:25
<ogra>
yay
15:25
thats so great !!
15:25
just stay then ... no need to cancel it after a month :)
15:26
<stgraber>
well, I'll start working at revolution linux in less than a month too :)
15:26
I'll work for Canonical as some kind of "free time job" so basically doing what I currently do but receiving money for it :)
15:27
(ok and I also needed access to some servers that community people can't access)
15:27* ogra is one of the people that try to keep the level between community people and business people in a sane area ....
15:27
<ogra>
i dont want canonical to become a second redhat or novell :)
15:28
people that slap the business guys from time to time to not turn it into something like that are massively important for that
15:28
<stgraber>
indeed
15:29* ogra is still bitter we didnt get vagrantc ...
15:33* stgraber continues reviewing RevolutionLinux's packages ... they plan to get those integrated in Universe but they aren't quite ready for that yet.
15:33
<vagrantc>
ogra: well, i definitely fucked up a bit on that anyways
15:33
<ogra>
vagrantc, well, both sides did
15:34
<vagrantc>
ogra: fair enough
15:35
ogra: i'm hoping we can spend some time to reduce the diff on our debian dirs at the hackfest...
15:35
<ogra>
fine with me
15:35
i cant really tell how ltsp in 8.10 wil look like though
15:36
with all the changes to the kernel setup i dont even have a workign setup atm
15:36
<vagrantc>
ouch
15:36
i think what's in lenny now is likely going to be what we release with, maybe with a few more patches here and there.
15:36
<stgraber>
well, we don't have a working Desktop CD either so ... :)
15:36
<ogra>
well, thats low lvel, i can work on hardy for the scripting etc
15:37
it shouldnt make much difference
15:37gatekeeper has quit IRC
15:42
<ogra>
wow, intresting
15:43
if you run out of diskspace on /boot while uninstalling linux-image and linux-ubuntu-modules and linux-image is gone, the postrm of linux-ubuntu-modules still tries to run update-initramfs, even though there is no initramfs anymore
15:45* ogra glares at #ubuntu-bugs
15:45
<ogra>
launchpad is at 250000 bugs ...
15:46
<stgraber>
Adding `diversion of /sbin/start-stop-daemon to /sbin/start-stop-daemon.real by ltsp-client'
15:46
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/ltsp/scripts/start-stop-daemon': No such file or directory
15:46
that's current LTSP in Intrepid
15:46
error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally
15:46
<ogra>
well, even if that wasnt there ...
15:47
you have no union filesystem of any kind atm
15:48
<stgraber>
how are they dealing with that for the desktop CD ?
15:48
<ogra>
no idea, i'm still working on hardy as half of us does
15:49
i have seen intrepid only in chroots yet
15:50
<stgraber>
I'm running Intrepid on my lappy but no trace of aufs or unionfs so ...
15:51
<ogra>
right
15:51
all i did for 8.10 yet was getting my merges done and implement compcache support in initramfs
15:51
which nothing uses yet
15:52rcy has joined #ltsp
15:54* ogra hopes the portland mosquitos are less greedy than the boston ones ... i look like a junkie that doesnt manage to find the right place for his needle atm .... scratching myself to death
15:55
<stgraber>
ogra: CONFIG_AUFS=y
15:55
ogra: doesn't that mean aufs is built-in the kernel ?
15:55
<ogra>
hmm
15:55
why would we do that ?
15:56* ogra makes a note to ask ben on monday
15:56
<stgraber>
no idea but that's what I have in /boot/config-2.6.24-4-generic
15:56
<ogra>
appears silly to me
15:57
<stgraber>
indeed, it doesn't make sense to have it built-in as it's not used except by the livecd and ltsp ...
15:57
sounds like wasted memory to me
15:57
<ogra>
but that explains why i didnt find the module anywhere :)

rcy: you coming to portland for the hackfest next weekend?
16:05
<johnny>
xmpp dev hopefully
16:05
i can't afford oscon
16:05
that's waaay out of my price range
16:05
<rcy>
vagrantc: yeah i am... i have zero travel plans and no place to stay lined up yet... but the plan is to somehow get there
16:06
<vagrantc>
johnny: you could probably kill a few days hanging at freegeek and exploring pdx
16:06
rcy: if you need a hand lining up any of that, i can try and hook you up
16:06
<ogra>
rcy, vagrantc just recommended a nice hostel near freegeek
16:06
<johnny>
xmpp summit is on the 21st and 22nd
16:06
so then i'll have a few days to come to freegeek in between
16:07
i'll be there from the 20-30
16:07
<rcy>
ogra: i missed the link to the hostel
16:07
<vagrantc>

16:09
<johnny>

16:09
<jammcq>

16:09
<johnny>
Johnny Robeson, Baltimore, MD
16:10
<jammcq>
done
16:10
<johnny>
thanks
16:10
<jammcq>
I changed the bullet list to a numbered list
16:11
seems like we're missing about 4 people
16:12
<vagrantc>
yeah, last time i counted, it was more like 15
16:12
i'm forgetting who i'mforgetting
16:12
anyone from the opensuse crowd?
16:14
<jammcq>
good question. I saw a message on the developer list that kiwiltsp would be represented at OSCON, so hopefully that person will be able to join us
16:20
ah, 10 with rcy

i'm gonna modify that page to make it a table, where people can register their arrival/departure times
16:25K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp
16:26
<stgraber>
hmm, only 7/13 of MilleXterm's packages would be good enough for inclusion in Ubuntu. Way better than some weeks ago though :)
16:26
<jammcq>
ok, if anyone wants to plug in their arrival/depart times

16:53
<ogra>
YAY
16:53
2.6.26 makes the wired network work :)
16:54
stgraber, thanks a lot for the hint that aufs is builtin, that way i could hack up the initramfs script to make it boot for testing finally ....
16:54
that took three days ...

18:42
hi
18:43* vagrantc waves
18:43
<ryudo>
you now how much bandwidth 10 thinclents consume ? 100 Mbits is enough ?
18:43
<vagrantc>
depends on what they're doing
18:44
definitely have more than 10 here at freegeek, and it works fine.
18:47
<ryudo>
flash openoffice firefox :)
18:48
<vagrantc>
ryudo: the latter two should be fine, overall.
18:48
<ryudo>
in my case
18:48
i have 21 terminals on 100 Mbits lan
18:48
18:48
and is very slow
18:49
i need use two interfaces (using diferents ip ranges on dhcp) or use a gigabit backbone
19:13
<loather>
as long as the server has a gigabit link you should be fine
19:13
or you could bond two 100mbps links, but that sucks
19:22
<ryudo>
hum
19:22
i not will bond
19:22
i will use two interfaces
19:22
i have 22 clients on two switchs (16ports each)
19:23
i will use 11 client each switch
19:23
<vagrantc>
ryudo: you sure it's too slow networking? or could it be disk? or something else?
19:24
<ryudo>
vagrantc its the lan !
19:25
i use RAID-1 (2160 SATA II NCQ)
19:25
2x160
19:26
19:26
my network is the bottleneck, because when arriving at a rate of 11.7 Mbits .. is impossible to use terminals
19:27
when the eth1 on server ltsp reaches 11.7 Mbits, everything is very slow
19:27
i use gnome monitor ou dstat for diagnostic
19:28
<johnny>
why not buy gigabit card?
19:28
and a switch with gigabit upstream..
19:29
cheaper than full gigabit i guess
19:29
<ryudo>
i dont have a switch wich gigabit uplink port :(
19:29
i have two switchs ehehe
19:29
poor :{
19:29
johnny listen
19:30
sabayon have a lot bugs in HARDY 64bits version !
19:30
<johnny>
make your users poney up a $1 per use :).. you'll afford it
19:30
i'm sure it does
19:30
<ryudo>
its unasable !
19:30
<johnny>
now if only i had time to work on it
19:30
<ryudo>
heehe goood idea
19:31
<johnny>
it wouldn't take long.. .. since you would prolly only need $100 USD
19:31
it wouldn't be the best.. but ti would be better than what you have
19:31
ryudo, nobody pays me to work on sabayon.. so it's hard to make good time for it, as i have many other unpaid committments as well
19:32
sayamindu might take care of a few bugs soon tho
19:32
<ryudo>
19:32
I recently swapped the server, swapped a atlhon 3700 + 4GB + 80GB SATAII by a c2Quad Q6600 + 4GB + 2x160 NCQ SATAII RAID
19:35
I know johnny, excuse me, if I plan know programing (c etc) I help you, the sabayon is a great software for what he proposes to do
19:35
<dberkholz>
vagrantc: no questions really. will probably catch up w/ some folks at oscon thursday anyway
19:38
<johnny>
python is a good language to learn
19:38
ryudo, i'm also n00b to python
19:39
i've only done the triaging
19:39
that's what i will do before end of next week, is go over all redhat/ubuntu/suse bugtrackers and see what floats up
