ogra: hey!
01:24* ogra waves from portland
01:24
<vagrantc>
ogra: you find a place to sleep?
01:24
<ogra>
i got a sweet very "local flavoured" place at the "quality" inn :)
01:25
about 20 blocks away from eharrison
01:25
<vagrantc>
heh. ok.
01:25
<ogra>
i might be able to book that until monday (if they manage to fix my doorlock)
01:25
<vagrantc>
heh.
01:26
<ogra>
great to be back again
01:27
i had a nice alascan lady next to me at the plane that tought my some history and told nice hiking stories about the three mountains :)
01:27
<vagrantc>
heh
01:27* vagrantc read that as alsacan
01:28
<ogra>
canned linux sound :)
01:29
well, the place i'm in is something others would likel call creepy ... but it really feels like home after a week in the airwashed hilton i think i can bear that place for some days
01:29
feels more alive actually
01:30
i dont know how much my daily taxi will be though ... but it shouldnt be more than 10 miles to freegeek and eric can pick me up
01:31
so i guess i'm all set :)
01:41
<vagrantc>
busses aren't usually too bad, but i don't really know the west side
01:42
<ogra>
well, eric will pick me up tomorrow at least
01:43
but first i need that dorr thing fixed *grin*
01:43
*door even
01:43
i havent had a non working lock yet, usually the cards are just broken
01:44
but here the battery seems to be gone or so
01:48* vagrantc hopes gadi found his way alright
01:49
<vagrantc>
don't know if folks would like to meet up during the day ... i'll be working at freegeek 11-5, but it's fairly flexible with time..

<ogra>
hey
02:01
<TNKLTSP>
did u read what i said couple of days ago about the fuse + AD domain user, I have infact resolved the case (kind of)
02:01
the problem is this:
02:01
sopsaare@tuki:~$ id
02:01
uid=363339454(sopsaare) gid=363332097(domain^users) groups=363332096(domain^admins),363332097(domain^users),363334246(primus^users),363334738(mikrotuki),363337601(tyoharjoittelijat),840465266
02:02
<ogra>
uh, looks odd
02:02
<TNKLTSP>
the ltspfs making the directory /media/%USER
02:02
doesnt recognice the gid=363332097(domain^users) as valid usergroup
02:02
while making the directori which shoul look likethis
02:02
<ogra>
looks a bit high
02:03
i'm not really sure yu can use GIDs above 65535
02:03
<TNKLTSP>
likewise-winbind does it pretty damn well
02:04
the whole system (apart ltspfs) recognices the GID:s
02:04
the group names can be used far specific files, folders, services, even sudo rights
02:05
<ogra>
how does ltspfs break with that then ?
02:05
<TNKLTSP>
it doesnt create the folder /media/%USER
02:06
and I have been thinking (can't test atmo becouse our AD is under heavy reconstruction) and the problem might even lie in the usergroup name
02:06
"Domain Users" which is built-in primary group for the domain users
02:07
<ogra>
well, dont forget that the user needs fuse rights
02:07
<TNKLTSP>
and which likewise-winbind tells me that it is named domain^users
02:07
fuse right have been solved (trought many different ways)
02:08dukai has joined #ltsp
02:08
<TNKLTSP>
But I'll file U a full scale article about Ubuntu LTSP envinroment as part of AD when I get my D back to track and the work done (most propably in a month)
02:09
because I'm pretty sure that there will be discussion about the AD + LTSP subject in near future
02:10
(the easiest way to test fuse rights is to just add the domain user to "fuse" group in /etc/group)
02:11
<Shawn_Powers>
ogra: reading back, I assume you're at OSCON?
02:12
<ogra>
Shawn_Powers, not exactly, i might drop by there in the public area for 1-2h tomorrow though ... but main objective for me being in portland is the ltsp hackfest
02:12
<Shawn_Powers>
that's what I was going to ask about -- jammcq mentioned a few months back about the hackfest on Friday
02:13
I'm curious when, where, etc.
02:13
<ogra>
freegeek
02:13
we'll start tomorrow
02:13
<Shawn_Powers>
(I get to attend as both press, and a tech director)
02:13
ahh
02:13
where is freegeek?
02:13* Shawn_Powers hopes near the convention center somewhere...
02:13
<Shawn_Powers>
There's like a tour there on Friday, no?
02:13
<ogra>
other side of the river afaik
02:14
vagrant can give you directions

02:14
<Shawn_Powers>
awesome. I was hoping to get some video of freegeek to put up on linuxjournal.com
02:14
<ogra>
heh, and me too actually
02:14* ogra just found the url in his backlof
02:14

02:15
<Shawn_Powers>
awesome -- I was just up at 10th street earlier today for a drupal gathering
02:16
oh, crap
02:16
SE 10th ave is differfent
02:16

02:17

he does
02:20
about 20 blocks from my ho/motel
02:20* ogra isnt really able to judge this place here
02:20
<Shawn_Powers>
sigh... linuxjournal put me up in the "swanky" DoubleTree
02:20
10 dollar a day wifi
02:20
crappy connection
02:20
180 bucks a night
02:20
WTF?
02:20
<ogra>
well, i'm hooked up to *some* wifi that was open here :)
02:21
the room has a cat5 wallplug i didnt tyr yet
02:21
and the wifi likely doesnt belong to the hotsl
02:21
*hotel
02:21
<Shawn_Powers>
yeah, unfortunately, I can *almost* get a signal from somewhere else
02:22
I almost wish they'd charge 190 a night, and "give" me wifi
02:22
<ogra>
is the doubletree the one acrss the street from the convention center ?
02:22
<Shawn_Powers>
No, it's the "official" hotel for the conference
02:22
<ogra>
i thnk i stayed there last year
02:22
ah
02:22
<Shawn_Powers>
but it's 2 trains stops away
02:22
the "Red Somethingorother" is closer
02:22
I wanna say Red Bull
02:22
but it's not
02:22
:)
02:23
*they* have free wifi
02:23
;)
02:23
Ok -- I'm going to bed
02:23
if you're at the convention tomorrow, I'm wearing a bright red linux journal polo

I have Ubuntu on an HP-2133 that I reviewed -- and today at OSCON it decided that it didnt' want to sleep anymore. I thought my bag was going to catch on fire. Very strange.
02:29
and now I'm *really* going to bed
02:29
;)
02:29

yeah, me too, i'll crash in front of the tv for a bit more though

Hey guys, at our school we have previously used "skolelinux" for our thinclient servers.: 3 ltsp servers and 1 ldap server with users /home folders. now i wish to replace the thinclient servers with a new distro, Xubuntu. but how do make it xubuntu authenticates and mount the /home folders from our ldap server?
06:03
<klausade>
generalsnus: there is plenty of documentation on the net howto use *ubuntu machines together with skolelinux ldap-server. Maybe start with http://wiki.skolelinux.de/Skolelinux/Ubuntu and http://www.skolelinux.no/~klaus/sarge/a4765.html. Those should give you a startingpoint.

09:13
<The_Code>
cyberorg, yes
09:14
<cyberorg>
The_Code, i saw couple of huge commits from you, tell us about it :)
09:15
btw, welcome to Easy-LTSP GUI GSOC weekly meeting :)
09:15
<The_Code>
i made some changes to the gui
09:15
i removed the checkboxes for localdev and sound and made them tasks
09:16
the way tasks are selected changed, the combobox has gone and it is now done with a popupmenu which appears when you click and the add task button
09:16
next thing is that i added a remove task button, to let the user remove tasks he added
09:16
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: any tarball for a quick test around?

kl_eisbaer, on my way
09:18
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: thanks
09:19
<The_Code>
next thing is parsing of lts.conf which is done with nini library
09:19
http://forgeftp.novell.com/kiwi-ltsp/easy-ltsp-0.4.tar.gz
09:19Mibbti has joined #ltsp
09:19
<The_Code>
binaries are there
09:20
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: thanks
09:20
<The_Code>
deploying of lts.conf also working
09:20
user can choose to parse or deploy the lts.conf from easy-ltsp.conf or choose a target and source
09:21
and that's it for now, i am currently creating the possibility to add clients to the section
09:22
ah, and the tasks in the popup have tooltips
09:22
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: so 0.4 would be the first version which has the base functionality ?
09:23
of creating/deploying lts.conf ?
09:23
<The_Code>
when i have finsihed the add client possibility, i would say so
09:24
<cyberorg>
The_Code, i am impressed :)
09:24
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: ok - what about the parsing of an existing lts.conf ?
09:24
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, as i said done using nini
09:24
<kl_eisbaer>
Two questions about your tarball:
09:25
whats Nini.dll ?
09:25
and where is easy-lts.conf =
09:25
?
09:25
<The_Code>
Nini.dll is a .net ini parsing lib, which is used for parsing lts.conf
09:25
<kl_eisbaer>
ah, ok
09:26
<The_Code>
easy-ltsp.conf is missing cause it is in /etc/easy-ltsp/
09:26
<cyberorg>
The_Code, we need to work out terminology for "Parse" and "Deploy" ogra's mom wont know what they mean
09:26
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: ok - just want to be shure I didn't miss it :-)
09:27
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, the problem is that this location needs to be hardcoded
09:27
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: yes, I know
09:27
<The_Code>
cyberorg, yes, maybe read and create
09:28
<cyberorg>
just "Open", "Save" and "Save As" under lts.conf menu
09:28
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: please "tag" your splitted versions in SVN
09:28
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, yes
09:29ogra has joined #ltsp
09:29
<cyberorg>
hi ogra :)
09:29
<The_Code>
cyberorg, only one open?
09:29
<kl_eisbaer>
I hope, I can build the source "from scratch" in a few days. So the prebuild binaries shouldn't be necessary any more
09:29
<cyberorg>
ogra, new version: http://forgeftp.novell.com/kiwi-ltsp/easy-ltsp-0.4.tar.gz
09:29
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: but please keep a copy of easy-ltsp.conf in your working directory
09:30
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, my makefile is getting in shape
09:30
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: ok, thanks
09:30
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, sure
09:30
for deploying i agree with save and save as
09:31
but for the parsing, either the user wants to use the defined or a different one how to tell him this
09:31barbosa has quit IRC
09:33
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: what about using the "Open" menu entry for this?
09:33
The_Code: you can/should open the file browser and let the user choose his version :_)
09:33
<The_Code>
so only one way to read a lts.conf file, using a file browser?
09:34
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: IMO: yes. You can point the user to "your" default one, but in the end the user should decide....
09:34
<The_Code>
this can be a good way
09:34
<kl_eisbaer>
...just think about the differnt locations of this file in the different distribution
09:35
/srv/ltsp/.... vs /opt/ltsp/....
09:35
...and please save the "last choosen" lts.conf in your own config - and ask the user if he wants to overwrite it when he saves or exits
09:36
<The_Code>
therefor it is specified in easy-ltsp.conf
09:36
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: yes
09:36
<The_Code>
yes i will ask him! i am also working on the hash comparison
09:37
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: can you add a "warning" message in the "lts.conf" tab if the user hasn't saved his changes ?
09:38
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, you mean not saved to the file
09:38
<kl_eisbaer>
Otherwise it's a bit confusing that the lts.conf still shows "[section 0]" if you've entered a name for it (but not saved)
09:38
<cyberorg>
kl_eisbaer, would you post details about Easy-LTSP packages in Edu ML and any other place too? we now need people filing bugs :)
09:39
<kl_eisbaer>
cyberorg: you've also welcome to post to this list :-)
09:40
<cyberorg>
kl_eisbaer, people will kick me for cross posting on so many ML ::P
09:40
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, right, either this or just make a automatic save when user changes
09:40
<kl_eisbaer>
cyberorg: perhaps we can start writing the help files and HowTos as soon as Jan says his GUI is "frozen"
09:40
<cyberorg>
kl_eisbaer, yes
09:40
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: I would say a warning is enough - or display the resulting lts.conf just on demand
09:41
<cyberorg>
The_Code, keyboard and language task is missing
09:41
<kl_eisbaer>
otherwise you've to wait for the filesystem (or other stupid things) if you save on every change
09:41
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, i save to my datastructure first (no filesystem)
09:41
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: yes, this should be enough as your application is rock solid :-)
09:42
<The_Code>
and lts.conf is always recreated when user switches to the tab
09:42
cyberorg, language?
09:42
keyboard right this has to be done
09:42
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: might be - but my first test (starting with an empty lts.conf) shows a differnt behavior
09:43
The_Code: and I'm not shure if it's enough to show just the "task names" in the first Tab (Section)
09:43
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, what happens
09:44
<kl_eisbaer>
Now I have "Tasks" -> "XServer" without any other information in this tab
09:44
Just when I enter the "Advanced" Tab, the thinks look clearer to me
09:44
<The_Code>
which indicates you have added the xserver task
09:44
<kl_eisbaer>
but this is currently just a small layout thing
09:44
:D
09:45
<The_Code>
in advanced you see the variables and their values
09:45
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: Yes....
09:45
The_Code: but can you made this "list" a bit more clearer for me and my mom ? :-)
09:45
Perhaps by adding a checkbox
09:46
<The_Code>
a checkbox? for what?
09:46
<kl_eisbaer>
for the Tasks in the main Section window
09:46leio_ has quit IRC
09:46
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, what should it do
09:46
<kl_eisbaer>
I would expect that I have to click on the Task first and afterwards on the "Remove task" button to remove it (or more) for example
09:47leio_ has joined #ltsp
09:47japerry has joined #ltsp
09:47
<kl_eisbaer>
So just a checkbox behind or bevore each task which can be selected for removal
09:47
<The_Code>
ok, yes better way user can remove more then one task
09:48
<kl_eisbaer>
jip
09:48
I'm also not shure if the "Advanced" button and the "Advanced tab" should stay as they're now
09:48
as both do the same, perhaps one can be dropped?
09:48Blinny has quit IRC
09:49
<The_Code>
advanced button is not needed anymore
09:49bobbymac has joined #ltsp
09:49
<kl_eisbaer>
ok - so please remove it
09:49

09:49
<The_Code>
advanced button is there because in first version there were only two tabs, and tabs were only shown when clicked on advanced button
09:49
yes will remove it
09:49
<kl_eisbaer>
And can you add a headline over the left textfield (with the sections)?
09:50
bobbymac: hi
09:50
The_Code: just name it "Sections" or something like that - just to give things a name for reference in the docu
09:50
<The_Code>
yes, i will add column title (it's a treeview)
09:51
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: thanks
09:51japerry has quit IRC
09:51
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: ähem: and a "you're shure that you want to remove Section xy?" dialog please ... :-)
09:52
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, ok
09:52
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: BTW: I'm reproducing the "[Section 0]" error with an empty lts.conf right now
09:53
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, what error what is happening
09:53
<kl_eisbaer>
what about exchanging the "Advanced" button with a "Preview lts.conf" button ?
09:53
<bobbymac>
I recently setup an Hardy LTSP server with amd64 OS and figured out how to build a client with the --arch i386 and --kiosk options. Now I need to customize the thin client setups. For instance, I need to change the home page in firefox and I need to chage the color scheme to match our university colors. Help?
09:53
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: create a new lts.conf
09:53
add Name and comment in the new section
09:53
visit lts.conf tab
09:54
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, yes it is not saved in the datatructure when you haven't clicked on save button
09:54
but i am working on the autosave stuff
09:55
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: so what about hiding the lts.conf tab and display a popup window instead if the user clicks on a "preview" button ?
09:55
<The_Code>
would be no problem for me, when we want to have another window
09:56
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: I'm fine with this as it's a -- non editable -- Preview of the final result
09:56
(perhaps some users just want to copy and paste)
09:57
<The_Code>
ok, but i will make it a modal dialog, because it can only change when user clicks the button
09:57
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: ok

<masus>
hi all, does anyone know which ports or protocol is used by ltsp ?
09:59
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: BTW: can you add a Wheel-Mouse, too?
09:59
masus: dhcp, tftp, nfs ?
09:59
<cyberorg>
The_Code, LDM_LANGUAGE
09:59
<The_Code>
ssh
10:00
<masus>
kl_eisbaer: how do they connect to the server "which port or protocol"
10:00
<kl_eisbaer>
should be "X_MOUSE_BUTTONS = 5" "X_ZAxisMapping = 4 5 "
10:00
<The_Code>
cyberorg, values are the normal ones like en_us
10:01
<kl_eisbaer>
masus: first => dhcp to get an ip adress, afterwards downloading via PXE
10:01
which is normally via TFTP
10:01
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, ok will add it
10:01
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: rest as the 3 button mouse
10:01
<masus>
kl_eisbaer: , i'll do a iptables bandwidth monitor for the ltsp clients but if i use the ip range the ltsp client are slowing down , so i'll add the protocol or port to the iptables role
10:01
<kl_eisbaer>
ups
10:01
The_Code: adding two mices into one section crashes ?
10:02
<cyberorg>
The_Code, not sure, this was added to ldm recently
10:02
<kl_eisbaer>
masus: depending on your settings, perhaps you've to open other ports like the one for the X-Server
10:02
<cyberorg>
it is in ldm-trunk/src/greeter_iface.c
10:03
<masus>
hmm yes thats it x-server ports
10:03
<kl_eisbaer>
masus: and ports 20 and 21 (for tFTP)
10:03
<The_Code>
cyberorg, will have a look
10:03
kl_eisbaer, do you want to have two mice?
10:04
or what do you mean with crashes
10:04
<kl_eisbaer>
Ah, no. Sorry. I'm just playing around a bit....
10:04
<The_Code>
cause i can add as many as i want, but values are overwritten
10:04
<masus>
kl_eisbaer: i'll try one mom
10:04
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: leads me to the question what to do if a user want to "add" an existing task again... :-)
10:05
The_Code: it should at least be possible to define two or more printers
10:06
ah, works.
10:06
ok: you win ! :-)
10:06
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, every task (except for printer) can be added once, if added more times the values are overwritten
10:06
in printer task you can define printer number and if this is not the same as for the first printer another one is added
10:06
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: hmmm. I'm not shure if this is the right way for all current tasks
10:06
=> should be discussed in the mailinglist IMO
10:07
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, but if you use a variable more then once, what happens
10:07
<cyberorg>
may be we offer "The task already added > Overwrite? Add one more?
10:07
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: yes - but silently overwriting the old value is not good
10:07
yes
10:08
And as far as I know, starting more then one X-Server on the client is possible for example
10:08
<The_Code>
ok, if it exists i will ask the user if he wants to overwrite it
10:08
<kl_eisbaer>
even to have more than one mouse (but thats only tested on my workstation ;-)
10:08
<cyberorg>
kl_eisbaer, we may soon have MPX
10:08
<The_Code>
but is it possible to use the XSERVER variable more then once
10:09
<kl_eisbaer>
I have to look at my old config again....
10:09
I remember that there was an "init" variable containing for example xterm => 0; X11 => 1
10:09
<The_Code>
ogra, cyberorg , is it possible to use a variable more then once?
10:09
<cyberorg>
The_Code, also line up all the added tasks on left when you add checkboxes next to them for removing
10:10
<bobbymac>
anbody: I recently setup an Hardy LTSP server with amd64 OS and figured out how to build a client with the --arch i386 and --kiosk options. Now I need to customize the thin client setups. For instance, I need to change the home page in firefox and I need to chage the color scheme to match our university colors. Help?
10:10
<cyberorg>
kl_eisbaer, i dont think getltscfg can parse two values of same variable
10:10
<The_Code>
cyberorg, the checkbox does this automatically, only labels are diplayed centered when not defined in a different way
10:11
<cyberorg>
it needs to be like MOUSE_0, MOUSE_1 etc
10:11
<The_Code>
just like printer and x_mode
10:11
<kl_eisbaer>
bobbymac: as firefox stores the configs for each user in his home directory, you can define something in the default path ($FIREFOXLIBDIR/defaults/preferences/*.js) but this would be overwritten by the user settings
10:12
<cyberorg>
i dont think that kind of thing is implemented for all variables
10:13
<kl_eisbaer>
Looks like we have a "TODO" for the next meeting: clarify, if a setting (for mouse for example) can be used mutliple times in a section
10:13
<bobbymac>
kl_eisbaer: but as this my clients are running in kiosk mode there is only one user. (I think) ?
10:13
<cyberorg>
The_Code, just ask on ltsp-discuss ML
10:13
<kl_eisbaer>
bobbymac: depends on your config - but it should be, yes
10:13
<The_Code>
i will ask the ml
10:14
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: ah....
10:14
The_Code: SCREEN_01 = startx
10:14
SCREEN_02 = shell
10:14
That's what I remind....
10:15
<cyberorg>
kl_eisbaer, i have improved kiwi-ltsp a lot since last week, i'll update it later today, i'll killed all the bugs in our devzilla
10:15
*i have killed
10:15
<bobbymac>
kl_eisbaer: Here is the catch. I have no Kiosk user defined thus no home directory!
10:15
<The_Code>
kl_eisbaer, yes this works
10:15
<kl_eisbaer>
cyberorg: devzilla?

that is where kiwi-ltsp bugs go to die
10:16
<kl_eisbaer>
cyberorg: ah. missed that link on http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Easy-LTSP

10:18
<kl_eisbaer>
cyberorg: can you add the devzilla link to the Easy-LTSP pages, please?
10:19elisboa has joined #ltsp
10:19* The_Code thinks Easy-LTSP has to have at least one component in order for you to enter a bug into it
10:19
<kl_eisbaer>
The_Code: ah - 23 bugs isn't to hard to read at the moment
10:19
<cyberorg>
so i believe kiwi-ltsp is feature and performance wise is as far as i could take it
10:19
The_Code, there already is Easy-LTSP in the devzilla
10:20
<The_Code>
cyberorg, yes found it and wanted to add a bug and got this message
10:20
<bobbymac>
so you're say my thin clients loading a kiosk chroot are logging in as root?
10:21
<cyberorg>
The_Code, right, captain_magnus you know anything about this message?
10:21
<kl_eisbaer>
bobbymac: No - thats not what I say. But if you're not shure which account it is, handle it like it IS the root account
10:22
<bobbymac>
I see
10:22
<kl_eisbaer>
cy, captain_magnus: Version and Component should be classified IMO
10:23
...and the default assignee should be Jan

cyberorg, i see products at hte end of the page, and when i click on it i can navigate to product easy-ltsp and there is a field edit components
10:36
cyberorg, should i add a component, or do you do it
10:36

yeah do it, i dont see it
10:36

Something like "Kiwi" and "LTS" would be cool :-)
10:38

hi vagrantc
10:53
vagrantc, how does LDM_LANGUAGE work, what values does it take?
10:54
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: i think any valid locale
10:54
locale -a
10:54
or any supported locale
10:54
not sure how other distros handle locales
10:54
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, ok, what happens if unsupported one is put in lts.conf?
10:54
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: i think it should fall back to C/POSIX
10:55
<cyberorg>
ok, The_Code ^^
10:55
<The_Code>
read it, working on that
10:56
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, you have mono installed?
10:56
<vagrantc>
no
10:57
<cyberorg>
if you have access to a machine with mono, you feedback for Easy-LTSP would be very valuable :)

give this a try http://forgeftp.novell.com/kiwi-ltsp/easy-ltsp-0.4.tar.gz

kl_eisbaer: TCP 20,21,6000:6063 does not work ... ? do you have another idea
11:09
<kl_eisbaer>
TFTP uses UDP
11:09
<masus>
hmmm
11:09
<kl_eisbaer>
and you've forgotten DHCP
11:10
so 647 and icmp should pass
11:10
even 546 if you use ipv6
11:11
<masus>
i'll try it
11:11
<kl_eisbaer>
test if the clients get a valid ip-address
11:11
otherwise all other settings can be ignored
11:12
and even the routing and name resolution should work
11:12
<masus>
everything works fine i have test it
11:12
only the bandwidth limit
11:12
<kl_eisbaer>
hm: nfs ?
11:12Q-FUNK has quit IRC
11:13
<kl_eisbaer>
ports for nfs and portmap should be accessable
11:13
<masus>
it'sone tcp port i know it because this works -> -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 1:65000 -j RETURN
11:13
it's in the tcp range
11:13
<kl_eisbaer>
nfs should be something like 2049 and portmap.... 369 (but I'm not shure)
11:13
<masus>
ok i'll try thank u
11:13
<kl_eisbaer>
ah, ok
11:13
<masus>
ah what ?
11:13
:D
11:14
<kl_eisbaer>
try udp, please :-)
11:14
tcp is just a fallback for nfs and portmap in most cases
11:14
<masus>
udp which port ?
11:14
<kl_eisbaer>
hm... 369 2049
11:14
<masus>
ok
11:14
i'll try one mom
11:14

but I'm not shure, please see /etc/services on your machine

seems the electronic lock ran out of battery :P

we have our presentation and a demo machine up. although just our luck the server is having hardware issues sporactically
12:05
aww

Hello again everyone. I am trying to get my nVidia NV11 graphics card working with xorg and the "nvidia" driver. I am having a hard time troubleshooting this problem since i cannot seem to locate a xorg.0.log file or any log related to xorg. When I boot the terminal, it attempts to start X but goes to a blank/black screen. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
14:03
<Lns>
roberto__, might depend on your thin clients
14:03
devsforev, try creating a root password in the chroot and CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to a console from the thin-client - your xorg logs are there in the ramfs
14:05
<devsforev>
Lns: Excellent, sounds good. I will try that now.

roberto__, you're not giving very much information here
14:11
have you tried 'nosplash' and removing 'quiet' from boot parms to see where it hangs?

Lns_ they were working perfectly, we tested the thin clients and the servers for a week
14:16
Lns_ now my team has taken the PCs to the client, but the thin clients don't seem to be "on the mood" anymore
14:17
Lns_ can you help us, it's urgent
14:18
<devsforev>
Lns: Lns I specified "SCREEN_01 = shell" in my /etc/lts.conf to let me log in. At the prompt "ltsp login:" i type 'root' and it responds: "bash: root: command not found" before i can even type the password.

roberto__, the list of grub options is in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/default, iirc
14:41
so modify that file and remove 'quiet' and replace 'splash' with 'nosplash' - ltsp-update-image, and reboot the thin client. you should then see the dmesg when the thin client boots and you can try to figure out what it's hanging on / making it take so long.
14:42
if you're using AMD64 on the server remember the --arch i386 for ltsp-update-image

our dhcp is configured with 192.168.0.2 , do you see problems with that?
17:08
?
17:09
<mib_twoych>
IP di eth1 deve essere 192.168.0.254 per impostazione predefinita
17:11
<roberto__>
ok, brb
17:14
<mib_twoych>
Vi chiedo scusa, ma ho fatto confusione: P eth1 prende l 'IP da un router con DHCP server, mentre eth0 ha IP statico (19.168.1.254), del resto, il server DHCP di "server ltsp" rilascia gli indirizzi ( 192.168.1.1 fino a 192.168.1.253) per il cliente!
17:15
se è la prima volta che utilizza ltsp, vi consiglio di utilizzare fedoracore6 k12ltsp, l'installazione è molto semplice.

Does anyone know if there are any tricks to getting nvidia-glx drivers working with LTSP? I have been having a hell-of-a-time trying to get them work, and I am starting to wonder if its my hardware or my LTSP implementation. Any ideas are welcome.
17:59
<Lns>
sorry devsforev i'm not sure, never used nvidia drivers on a tc before
17:59johnny has quit IRC
18:01
<devsforev>
No worries. The only reason I want to get them running is because video is jerky when I play it. I feel like the "nv" driver may be to blame. When I use mplayer or VLC many frames are skipped and video is jerky. If I can get smooth playback, I won't need to use the nvidia drivers. Any sugguestions here?
18:02
<Lns>
devsforev, typically i wouldn't recommend thin clients for full video playback, but that's just me.. i haven't done a lot of that, most of my expertise (if you'd call it that heh) is in school lab environments with things mainly like OOo and firefox
18:03
flash is as close as i get to fvp
18:03
<devsforev>
I only have one terminal right now (will have 2 at most in the future) and it is connected to my MythTV box. I want to be able to play the videos on the terminal with smooth playback, but so far I have had trouble with it skipping frames, so I figured it might be the driver.
18:03
<Lns>
devsforev, you're using ltsp for mythtv terminals?
18:03
<The_Code>
devsforev, LDM_DIRECTX = true in lts.conf
18:03
devsforev, but this drops security for X related traffic
18:04
<Lns>
The_Code, i've had trouble using ldm_directx before..i forget what exactly it was...but it was a while ago too
18:04
<devsforev>
Lns: I am using LTSP just for one mythtv of my Myth terminals. I figured it would save TONS of time in configuration of an extra box, and make the whole system more cohesive.
18:05
<Lns>
devsforev, i thought mythtv had its own terminal thing going on outside of ltsp
18:05
<The_Code>
devsforev, just a way that might increase speed for your video
18:05
<Lns>
for multiple remote boxes
18:05
<devsforev>
The_Code: I will enable LDS_DIRECTX now and let you know.
18:06
<The_Code>
devsforev, just try it, if security doesn't matter
18:06
<devsforev>
Lns: that is true; Myth is divided into a frontend/backend. I could feasibly have another frontend on this box, but the machine itself is only ~300mhz and has about 256MB of ram.
18:06
The_Code: I will; security is not much of a concern in my enviornment
18:07
<The_Code>
good
18:09
<ogra>
devsforev, are yu aware that the mythbuntu CD can set up a mythitv fat client out of the box ?
18:10
the mythbuntu team has put a lot effort into that and i heard it runs quite well
18:10
<devsforev>
ogra: no I am not. I will investigate this option as well. However, I do not have a hard drive in the box right now (nor do I have one laying around). If I go this route, I'll pick up one for cheap online. Thanks for the tip!
18:11
<ogra>
its a diskless fat client setup :)
18:11
<devsforev>
ogra: Really?!
18:11
<ogra>
talk to laga if he's around, he maintains it
18:11* devsforev googles mythbuntu
18:12
<devsforev>
could mythbuntu connect to an existing myth system diskless? or would the server need to be running mythbuntu as well? If so, I couldn't do it --- i have spent months configuring this box
18:14
<ogra>
well, mythbuntu wouldnt simply take you months ... not sure what you confgured there, but it should just work and has a very easy configuration UI
18:14japerry has quit IRC
18:15
<ogra>
i have no ide about mythbuntu itself though, never used it, but i know it has an out of the box "diskless fat client" CD mode thats based on ltsp5 and configures itself just right
18:17
but really, best is to talk to laga, he works closely with mythtv as well as mythbuntu and did the diskless mode implementation ... he is on a european timezone ...
18:17
<devsforev>
i'll look for him to become active. thanks for the advice!
18:18* devsforev is booting with LDM_DIRECTX = true to see how it works right now
18:19
<ogra>
it drops the encryption overhead ... but i doubt that will help you much .... shoveling 30fps uncompressed over the network in fullscreen is simply saturating everything ...
18:19
(you could switch to 8bit color :P that would surely speed things up )
18:20
<Gadi>
devsforev: another good test is to run mplayer from a terminal with the flag: -ao null
18:20
that kills audio
18:20
if the video improves, then it isnt a bandwidth issue
18:21
it is the player trying to keep video and audio sync'd
18:22
with LDM_DIRECTX = false, you will always have bad video - as you go through an unaccelerated proxy
18:23
<devsforev>
Gadi: what if I make mplayer and such run as a local app? would that help
18:23
<Gadi>
extremely
18:23
yes
18:23
<ogra>
Gadi, are you in portland already ?
18:23
<devsforev>
i'll try that idea
18:23
thanks!
18:23

then, you can send compressed video down to the client
18:23

yeah thats what sesamie street teaches you :)

we really need to get my stuff merged
18:39
<ogra>
we talked about it after lunch a bit, we'll get yu going johnny, no worries
18:39
<johnny>
is there anything we can do to get some official tarballs of snapshots ? or should we do it ourselves?
18:39
no rpm please...
18:39
<ogra>
do it yourself, we can show you
18:39
you need the mkdst branch for that
18:40
<johnny>
so we'll host it on our mirrors then?
18:40
atm we require bzr
18:40
in the chroot
18:40
<ogra>
you tag the main branch with the release version and run mkdst, that creates tar.gz and tar.bz2 for you
18:40
<johnny>
it's not that bad of a requirement i guess
18:40
well.. you guys did the tagging already
18:40
don't need to tag myself until we get my stuff in, if dberkholz finds it acceptable
18:40
<ogra>
if you dont wnat to bump the version just run mkdst
18:41
i think he will, else we tie you up in a corner at freegeek until it fits :)
18:41
<johnny>
has anybody done work on continuing an install ? instead of hard failling if /opt/ltsp/$arch exists ?
18:42
<ogra>
no, and it would be massivley unclean
18:42
in debian and ubuntu we have an option that reuses the packages at least and keeps them in place
18:43
but you still need to clean up before reinstalling, else you likely end up with a lot of mess in the chroot
18:43
<johnny>
i missed a dep, and now i have to start all over
18:43
need to find a way to get the binaries from the cd
18:43
at least for development
18:43
<ogra>
we *could* rm -r the dir ... but that would be mean for people accidentially forgetting the --croot arg
18:43japerry has quit IRC
18:44
<ogra>
yes, you should have a way for that
18:44
<johnny>
hmm.. imma chroot in there and quickpkg it all , donnie has a script for that
18:45
<ogra>
which reminds me ...
18:46* ogra goes and fixes the 8.10 ltsp-build-client
18:46
<ogra>
you evil guys just moved files around :P
18:46* johnny hides your files
18:47
<ogra>
well, it was rather warren or altlinux that moved everything to subdirs in the scripts dir of ltsp-server
18:47
i just missed that so one plugin explodes
18:48
<johnny>
i really need to go over the changes then
18:48
ok.. time to go browsin
18:48
so far.. i've yet to have to modify anything but ltsp-trunk
18:48
that is a good thing
18:51
fun.. i got a few things to do then
18:52
<ogra>
you got us there for help :)
18:53
<johnny>
shouldn't be much, some of it is what i suggested awhile
18:53
i have one question for dberkholz specifically, my chroot install failed due to X not being pulled in.. OOPS!
18:53
not sure where the dep should go, must have been too late
18:54
<ogra>
well, we have a telnet mode :)
18:54
no need for X :P
18:54
<johnny>
that's not true, ltspfs needs X :)
18:54
pkgconfig totally failed
18:54
<ogra>
who needs ltspfs with telnet :)
18:55
<johnny>
hmm.. guess i'll have to look into that..
18:55
so.. did you see that somebody actually got my ebuilds to work, with only a few questions?
18:55
and had a successfully booted install
18:55
considering it's not even been looked at by dberkholz
18:55
that makes me happy
18:56* ogra wonders why the plastic cups in his hotelroom wear condoms
18:56
<johnny>
they tend to do that at hotels
18:56
<ogra>
only in the US :)
18:56
i wonder what thats supposed to tell me
18:58
<johnny>
that nobody would ever think to use your cup
19:01
<Lns>
...or whenever you drink from that cup, you've drank from every cup that your cup has been with
19:02
<johnny>
lol
19:02
Lns, it's too bad you aren't here on the left coast... you'd be a good tester
19:02
ogra, what time are you thinking about getting there tomorrow?
19:03
<ogra>
no idea, eric is my ride ...
19:03
Lns, giggel
19:03
<Lns>
johnny, tester for cups with condoms?? =p left coast = west coast? I'm in Cali
19:03
<johnny>
you're not takin the bus?
19:03
Lns, up here with us in portland
19:03
<Lns>
ah
19:03
my sis lives in portland
19:03
<ogra>
johnny, i'm a slacker (and my bag is heavy)
19:04
3 laptops to carry and a lot of cable crap
19:04
<Lns>
I'd love to be there.. Owning a startup is demanding though
19:04
<johnny>
3 laptops ?
19:04
<ogra>
2 classmates and my lappie
19:04
<johnny>
i saw a classmate for the first time today
19:04
<ogra>
i dont leave any valuable thing in the hotel
19:04
<johnny>
there are safety deposit boxes..
19:05
<ogra>
lol
19:05
you havent seen my hotel
19:05
<johnny>
well at least you found A hotel..
19:05
<ogra>
yeah
19:05
i actully like it ...
19:06
<johnny>
i'm stayin at a friend's house
19:06
i'm just paying for food and transport
19:06
otherwise i wouldn't have been able to afford it
19:06
<ogra>
especially the redneck family ... in whose backyard i look
19:06
<johnny>
i can barely afford to come as it is.. but at least i'm gonna meet good contacts
19:06
<ogra>
gives the whole thing an "qriginal" touch :)

Just to clairfy: for me to get an app run as a "Local Application", I need to install them in the chroot enviornment. Am I right?
19:20
<Gadi>
right
19:21
<devsforev>
alright, cool. One question thought. If I call mplayer for instance, how does the terminal know to load the one in the chroot instead of the other instance on the server?
19:22
<ogra>
it doesnt
19:22
<Gadi>
thats where all the stuff you saw about sshkeys came in
19:22
<ogra>
which is the problem we will attack during the next four days at the ltsp hackfest
19:23
<devsforev>
ahhhh..... it makes sense now
19:23
<Gadi>
that was a method to launch mplayer on the thin client from the server
19:23
you basically need:
19:23
1. A program to launch
19:23
2. A way to launch it
19:23Shawn_Powers has quit IRC
19:24
<Gadi>
3. If it is not run by root - an authentication mechanism and a home dir on the chroot
19:24
<ogra>
s/chroot/running client/
19:24
<Gadi>
right
19:24
sorry
19:24
(3) can be optional
19:24
depending on the situation
19:24
<ogra>
yeah
19:24
<johnny>
i doubt i'll be much help for that
19:24
except as a tester
19:25* vagrantc goes to get tossed around
19:25* vagrantc will reappear later
19:25vagrantc has quit IRC
19:25
<johnny>
let me know how i can help
19:25
<devsforev>
hmmm... the plot thickens
19:25
<ogra>
johnny, you care for your base to get running ....
19:25
and pick our brains
19:26
we care for the other stuff ;)
19:26
<johnny>
