Does anyone know what is "pharma ban" on sourceforce? When I try to post to ltsp-developer list I just get this weird complaint:

morning
03:02
can anyone help me with importing a docbook xml formatted file into open offcie
03:02
office
03:02
should be straight forward, but the links I've followed on the net are anything but
03:12
ok, so its only the lts.conf.xml file that I cannot open... weird
03:19
<cyberorg>
Nubae, where is the file?

ltsp 5 launchpad
03:31
~ltsp-docwriters/ltsp/ltsp-docs-trunk
03:32
I'm making good progress with the main file now, but wanted to check lts.conf to make sure I've really got all the lts variables
03:35plamengr has quit IRC
03:36
<cyberorg>
Nubae, it just opened fine in oo writer
03:39
<Nubae>
ltsp.conf.xml?
03:42
opens with xml formatting... like so: <refentrytitle>lts.conf</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
03:42
the other files open fine though, how they're supposed to in docbook format
03:46
cyberorg: Suse should really be sticking to conventions... any ideas on whats happening on those fronts?
03:47
<cyberorg>
Nubae, get oo from go-oo.org
03:47
most distro ship sun's version which is quite crippled
03:48
<Nubae>
hmm nice link thanks
03:48
any idea how to install that system wide for all oo users?
03:49
conventions meaning putting ltsp stuff in the same place as everyone else and not requiring significantly different documentation
03:50
<cyberorg>
Nubae, lts.conf is same, just the image locations are according to suse conventions in /srv
03:52
<Nubae>
maybe you could appease people by making softlinks to /opt?
03:53
<cyberorg>
Nubae, yes i suppose that can be done easily, i said that before :)
03:54
<Nubae>
cool, if the only thing different in all distros were the installation parts, that would be awsome
03:54
<ogra>
uff, that lts.conf is so wrong
03:54
<cyberorg>
Nubae, suse used to keep kde and gnome in /opt too, now they have removed everything from there, it is not desirable at all to populate it once again, but if required we can put links via our packages
03:55
Nubae, yeah, everyone should have ltsp preinstalled shipped with the distribution ;)
03:55
<ogra>
"This file gets parsed when ltsp-server starts up" ....
03:55* ogra shakes his head
03:56
<Nubae>
heh... well... there is mention of smbldap still in the ltsp documentation... which I believe is from dapper still
03:56
<ogra>
it was vald up to feisty
03:56
*valid
03:56
i think it stopped working in gutsy
03:56
but it was always ubuntu only anyway
03:56
<Nubae>
yeah, thats when I started doing ldap manually
03:56
really, it asks u what distro when u install it
03:57
installed
03:57johnny has joined #ltsp

<Nubae>
I'm a bit confused about the bridging thing for virtual thin clients in fedora... there is a lot of mention of it under installation... seems like it should go somewhere else
03:58
and is it something other distros will do too?
04:00cpunches has quit IRC
04:00
<johnny>
Nubae, what are you talking about?
04:01
i wonder if it is any different than mine
04:01
i setup bridge and tun devices to run virtualbox clients on
04:01
<Nubae>
https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/InstallGuide
04:02
and then network setup too...
04:02
it would be nice to keep that stuff a bit seperate... its not really installing ltsp
04:02
<johnny>
itrue.. it isn't
04:03
<Nubae>
and will most certainly confuse the hell out of people
04:03
at the moment, I hate to say it, but Suse and Ubuntu have the easiest install instructions
04:03
Ubuntu easiest cause its included in one download
04:06
<cyberorg>
Nubae, just do normal installation on the server, that openoffice would be available to all like rest of the programmes
04:06
<Nubae>
so as root on server and it should be available to all users
04:07
<cyberorg>
yes
04:08
Nubae, it seems ubuntu ships go-oo version according to that download page
04:08
ogra, should know :)
04:09
<ogra>
no idea, i stay away as far as i can from that package
04:09
as far as i can -> not nearer tan bugs.launchpad.net or apt-get install/remove :)
04:15
but we work very closely with upstream on oo.o (and are oo.o board member afaik) so i wouldnt be surprised
04:18
yay
04:18
http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/dells-inspiron-mini-9-pops-official/
04:18
its out ... finally
04:21
<Nubae>
I heard they made a deal with new york schools
04:22
<ogra>
for the 901u ?
04:22
err
04:22
910u
04:23
<Nubae>
yeah... someone told me... beating olpc and everyone else by a longshot...
04:23
wonder if it will be linux or xp based though :-)

i could still use like 16GB local storage..
04:28
vs 8
04:29
<ogra>
Nubae, the 910u is only shipped with ubuntu
04:29
with a special variant of the netbook-remix
04:30
(the u in the version means ubuntu only :) )
04:30* Nubae wonders which laptop would make the best thin client
04:30
<Nubae>
cost wise of course
04:30
<ogra>
the XP variant costs 469 .... the ubuntu one 349
04:30
<Nubae>
well, since it was a price contest... it must be ubuntu
04:31
wow... all of NY school system using ubuntu... imagine that
04:31
<ogra>
yeah, that wouldnt be bad :)
04:32
<Nubae>
it was from an olpc source, so think its true...
04:32
they were kinda sad about it :-)
04:32
<ogra>
understandable
04:33
<Nubae>
sugar just isn't ready for deployment...
04:33
I'd consider it almost alpha software

16k? Cripes, the engine's not even broken in yet.
08:55

<stgraber>
hey scotty !!!
09:05* Gadi waves good morning
09:06
<sbalneav>
Morning stgraber, Gadi
09:06
stgraber: In Quebec yet?
09:06
<stgraber>
sbalneav: yup
09:06
<Gadi>
ogra: catching up on my emails... do you have any reservations of using debian's udev rules for localdev?
09:07
<stgraber>
sbalneav: we are working on moving to LDM for Millexterm
09:07
sbalneav: we need to do that to have italc-in-chroot working for some weird xauth stuff
09:07
<sbalneav>
ah, ok
09:07
<ogra>
Gadi, ?? we do that since hardy
09:08
<Gadi>
no, actually you don't
09:08
:)
09:08
vagrantc showed me his rules at hackfest
09:08
<ogra>
Gadi, i synced the package that was recent at feature freeze
09:08
as i did for intreid
09:08
*intrepid
09:08
<Gadi>
he applies the rules in the debian/ dir
09:08
<ogra>
i *synced* his package
09:08
<Gadi>
ah
09:08
ok
09:08
<ogra>
didnt touch it
09:09
<Gadi>
lemme doublecheck
09:09
<ogra>
might be that he made changes after i did that
09:09
<stgraber>
sbalneav: current goal is to have some kind of todolist by the hackfest with everything we need to fix/implement (so the customers don't see it as a regression from XDMCP/gdm but as an improvement)
09:09
<Gadi>
in that case, his rules should be moved out of debian/ and into upstream, no?
09:09
<ogra>
in intrepid we'll definately have whats currently in his package
09:09
depends
09:09
different distros handle udev differently
09:10
thats something that has to be done with a lot of caution
09:10
our rules were initially simple enough to apply to everyone
09:10
but the more complex they get the more careful we need to be
09:10
<Gadi>
I think we should keep the rules simple and handle most of the checking in the script
09:10
<ogra>
++
09:11
feel free to make changes :)
09:11
for localde i trust vagrants package since hardy anyway
09:11
i only changed one line that broke cdrom naming in hardy
09:11
but far after the last sync
09:12
<Gadi>
ok - I plan to make some mods, so I just wanted to check what the state of the union is
09:12
<ogra>
he fixed that in a better way upstream afaik ... thats in intrepid
09:12
upstream > distro
09:12
thats the state of the union :)
09:12
<Gadi>
most of what has been discussed on the listserv is easily implemented along with other mods vagrantc and I spoke about at hackfest
09:12
<ogra>
so getting it in there is always preferred
09:13gate_keeper_ has quit IRC
09:13
<Gadi>
in other news... does intrepid still have virtualbox issues?
09:13
<ogra>
just keep it in single patches :P
09:13
<Gadi>
or have those been resolved?
09:13
<ogra>
yes
09:13
no
09:13
<Gadi>
:(
09:13
<ogra>
but you can boot with a special parameter
09:13
makes vbox slower though
09:13
<Gadi>
do you have notes?
09:13
or should I use some other vm?
09:13
<ogra>
i didnt come around yet t update the modules to 2.6.27-2 though
09:14vplug has left #ltsp
09:14
<ogra>
so it might not work anyway
09:14
unless you compile the mods
09:14
noreplace-paravirt is the bootoption
09:15
that will prevent the oops
09:15
currently kernel and vbox devs seem to blame each other
09:15
which doesnt help with the resolution
09:16
<Gadi>
great - I have had trouble setting up a testbed for stuff in trunk because of it
09:16
<ogra>
in other notes i officially moved teams at canonical this monday
09:16
which means i have more and different work duties
09:16
<Gadi>
congrats?
09:16
:(
09:16
<ogra>
yes, but eve less time for ltsp
09:16
<Gadi>
I guess now, you are on par with the rest of us working stiffs ;)
09:17
<ogra>
though my duties are more focused in single tasks now
09:17
not widespread over the whole distro
09:17
as it was until now
09:17
edubuntu is likely not having a CD with 8.10
09:17
will only become a task on the DVD
09:17
so i have to care less for that one
09:18
which leaves ltsp as my main distro responsibility
09:18
all the rest is mobile focused
09:19

ogra: this one is already on my list of things to buy :)
09:20
<ogra>
yeah, i would buy one myself if i wouldnt drown in HW already :)
09:21
but my future is filled with touchscreens :)
09:21
less keyboards
09:21* ogra is just in the last steps of getting evtouch support working roperly with the new hal-input
09:21
<ogra>
all other devices will really lose with the new model
09:22
<stgraber>
hmm, I almost never use my mouse/trackpad/touchpad but I use the keyboard all the time so I'm not sure how I'd work with a touchscreen :)
09:22
<ogra>
well, the OS and UI are totally different
09:22
i'll also move forward in the exciting world of ARM :)
09:23
so we'll soon have ARM based touchscreen thin clients, stay tuned :)
09:23
<stgraber>
hmm, thin clients ... you'll have the same problem as with powerpc when it comes to generating new chroots or updating existing ones
09:24
<ogra>
indeed
09:24
but there are properly working VM environments for arm already in debian

please, why ltsp-update-kernels replaces my pxelinux.cfg/default ?
09:54
and how to prevent it?
10:02ccherrett has joined #ltsp
10:03ccherret1 has quit IRC
10:06
<sbalneav>
wigwam: Well, it just copies the kernels from the chroot
10:07
We don't have any code in there to detect if you have a 'changed' pxelinux.cfg/default,
10:07
<warren>
wigwam: try Fedora's LTSP5, it doesn't replace pxelinux.cfg/default
10:08
<sbalneav>
so for now, I'd suggest either warren's suggestion (hi Warren) or, back it up before the update.
10:08
<warren>
hi
10:08
<sbalneav>
We should probably have something in the code to not overwrite it if it's changes
10:09
or, if you've got a pxelinux.cfg mumble in your /etc/ltsp, copy that one over, or something.
10:10
<wigwam>
where is located pxelinux.cfg/default in chroot please?
10:11
ah, /boot, am i right?
10:11
<Guaraldo>
Hey, Scottyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
10:11
How are you, man?
10:12
<Nubae>
hmm is it still true that one can run a 133 or 233 mhz in hardy and intrepid?
10:12
<Guaraldo>
sbalneav: Many time passed, dude! How is everything?
10:12
<Nubae>
as a thin client
10:14
<warren>
Nubae: the mhz is very misleading
10:14
Nubae: I used old 133MHz pentium mmx that were much faster than brand new 200MHz thin clients today.
10:15
Nubae: (ebox 2300)
10:15Blinny has quit IRC
10:15
<Nubae>
well, its a consideration for documentation, should I increase the minimum to something usable like 500mhz
10:17
<warren>
it simply isn't that easy
10:17
there exist 500mhz machines that are that slow now
10:17
Nubae: how much RAM does the docs say?
10:19
<Nubae>
hmmm unless I'm missing something it doesn't mention ram
10:21
but edubuntu docs mention 128MB to run a workstation, which sounds about right for thin clients...
10:21
but in LTSP docos, no mention of ram on the thin client... weird
10:22
2mb pci vga card is mentioned as minimum vga requirements
10:23
<warren>
I highly doubt it would work with anything less than 32MB today
10:24
<Nubae>
warren: 32MB ram or 32MB video ram?
10:24
<warren>
video RAM
10:25
<Nubae>
ok, so around 533mhz+, 32mb pci vga card+, 128mb+ for a usable experience
10:26
<warren>
below 96MB RAM performance will degrade but it is usable
10:26
perhaps 48MB is the minimum RAM
10:26
<Nubae>
I'll mention it can be used, but not recommended
10:26GodFather has joined #ltsp
10:26
<Guaraldo>
warren: in vesa mode, 2MB is useful...

I've managed to twist my thin clients' chroot into little knots in Ubuntu Hardy. With newer (2.6.24-19) kernels, I have big gvfs problems that prevent users from logging in. When I downgrade to 2.6.24-18, I have problems with PS2 mice in older, pentium 1 clients. Anyone have time to help me triage this?

10:38
<Blinny>
I can certainly re-run ltsp-build-client but I'm afraid of all the gvfs problems that come w/ the latest & greatest kernel.

Blinny: What's the gvfs problem?
10:57
<Blinny>
sbalneav: Machines with floppy drives don't allow the users to log in - seems to spawn multiple gvfs mounts in different locations. Some under /media, some under /home/user/.gvfs and some under /tmp -- many many gvfs trash mounts. The user is authenticated, and then sits staring at a black screen.
10:57
sbalneav: I have a test box that has a fully updated chroot that I can make the issue occur if you'd like more info - I know that isn't very detailed.
10:57
<cilkay>
Blinny: With a blinking cursor at the top left corner?
10:58
<Nubae>
Blinny: oh THAT problem... that was supposed to have been fixed with hardy...
10:58
cilkay: sounds like vga problems
10:58
<cilkay>
No, it would boot sometimes and I'd see the display just fine.
10:59
The problem only manifested itself if the machine in question wasn't the first machine to boot.
10:59
<Nubae>
Blinny: would you happen to have all your users in one group, as opposed in their own groups (ie username:username)
10:59
<Blinny>
Nubae: No.
10:59
<Nubae>
I had all my users in name.users and that really messed with gvfs
10:59
<Blinny>
cilkay: No blinking cursor - I'm at full resolution.
10:59
<Nubae>
I fixed that and then fixed the issues you mention
11:00
<Blinny>
cilkay: These are clients where, if I downgrade to 2.6.24-18 log in fine.
11:00
<Nubae>
I have not upgraded to latest kernel yet
11:00
<cilkay>
Aha. I'll try that too.
11:03
<Blinny>
Again - only clients with floppy drives
11:03
If I disable fd0 in the BIOS they work OK
11:03
<sbalneav>
Do they need floppies?
11:04
<Blinny>
No.
11:04
Except for the dual-boot Win boxes.
11:04
Floppies _do_ work with 2.6.24-18

<sbalneav>
hm
11:05
<Blinny>
I'm guessing it has something to do with this: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2008-3275
11:05
(from upstream kernel changes shown in Update Manager)
11:05
...but that's a wild guess...
11:05
<sbalneav>
But, if you use the older kernel, some mice don't work?
11:07
<Blinny>
I think we've got a handle on that issue now.

<Blinny>
but this gvfs thing is nasty
11:11
It could be an unintended consequence of the process-killing script that Gadi developed that we're using, however I don't know how kernel version changes would make/break this.

vagrantc_, are you about?
16:02
<vagrantc_>
johnny: am now
16:02
!question
16:02
<ltspbot`>
vagrantc_: "question" is if you have a question about ltsp, please go ahead and ask it, and people will respond if they can. please also mention the linux distro and release you're using. :)
16:02
<vagrantc_>
:)
16:02
<johnny>
removing the leading slash from /ltsp/x86/pxelinux.0 makes all clients boot
16:02
<vagrantc_>
oh, weird.
16:02
<johnny>
i don't have a question
16:03
i just wanted to tell you that :)
16:03
<vagrantc_>
could have just told me that :)
16:03
johnny: using dnsmasq?
16:03
<johnny>
yes
16:03
<vagrantc_>
curious.
16:04
glad to see gentoo merged into ltsp-trunk :)
16:05
<johnny>
yeah.. donnie's wife had a baby
16:05
so he rushed it through
16:05
i'm going to try to commit soon
16:05
got some fixes to the init scripts
16:05
i stole the tftp stuff from warrent
16:05
warren*
16:06
neither of our initramfs generators include the tftp stuff like your initramfs-tools stuff does
16:06
<warren>
any changes that touch our codepaths?
16:06
<johnny>
warren, no
16:06
<warren>
ok cool
16:06
<johnny>
altho i'd like to remove 80_ltsp_sound
16:06
from the root
16:06
<vagrantc_>
johnny: you doing NBD or NFS ?
16:06
<johnny>
just nfs right now
16:07
going to get to nbd eventually..
16:07
<vagrantc_>
johnny: 80_ltsp_sound is only used on ubuntu, if anywhere, as far as i can tell.
16:07
<johnny>
i thought i checked to make sure it wasn't even used there
16:07
<vagrantc_>
johnny: shouldn't need tftp in the initramfs with NFS
16:07
<warren>
I don't do tftp in initramfs in NFS or NBD
16:08
<vagrantc_>
warren: how do you get a new lts.conf ?
16:08
<johnny>
so.. now i have 4 clients :)
16:08
at home
16:08
<warren>
vagrantc_: happens after initrd
16:08
<vagrantc_>
ah.
16:08
<johnny>
2 vboxes, laptop, desktop
16:08* vagrantc_ forgets why ogra wanted it in the initramfs
16:09
<johnny>
i also wouldn't mind having all the manpages in a man directory..
16:09
and moving the scripts to bin/
16:09
<vagrantc_>
yeah, the manpages are kind of a mess right now.
16:09
<johnny>
easier to package that way..
16:11
both debian/ubuntu and fedora/k21 linux have stuff scattered across the tree
16:11
lol.. k12 linux :)
16:11
k21linux.. ltsp for those of drinking age..
16:13
warren, i've worked with upstream projects before.. you don't need to tell me to get approval before doing such things
16:13
i play nice, i promise
16:14
<warren>
johnny: yes, I'm less worried about you
16:15
certain other people here have had a 90% patch rejection rate
16:15
just bad code, or bad ideas
16:15
or incomplete
16:16
<johnny>
well.. incomplete can be good, as long is it is for the idea of it.. an initial implementation, or test of an idea
16:16
not submitted directly against the repo for inclusion
16:17
hey hey warren..be nice :)
16:17
<warren>
incomplete is not good when you actually do the wrong thing becuse you didn't think of other archs, for example.
16:17* johnny sends warren to charm school
16:17
<warren>
screw that.
16:17
=)
16:18gate_keeper__ has quit IRC
16:18
<johnny>
but.. imo.. if something can benefit specific arches, and just can't plain work on other arches, i don't have a problem with it becoming available to those it can help
16:18
helping the wider range of people is more important sometimes
16:19
<warren>
sure, but I rejected the first two versions of it because it didn't consider other archs at all
16:19
<johnny>
after all.. that is the point of this project.. to help people, not achieve total code purity
16:19
<warren>
the next version of it should be OK, but then I think it belongs in an optional add-on, not default
16:19
<johnny>
that's what i'm gonna do with it
16:19
hmm.. ltsp-contrib repo ?
16:20
<warren>
haven't decided yet
16:20
I think I posted something about this on the list
16:20
asking for other opinions
16:20
<johnny>
i'm only recently subscribed.. i missed alot of posts ..
16:21
i was keeping up with the sf web interface..
16:21
but does it suck
16:21
...
16:21
<warren>
yeah, sf sucks a lot
16:21
<johnny>
how can it be so bad
16:21
after so long
16:21
<warren>
no motivation to make it better
16:21
<johnny>
i have motivation..
16:21
to make it better
16:22
altho.. i guess i wouldn't mind something more decentralized..
16:22
we need an archive.org type project for open source
16:50X0d_of_N0d has joined #ltsp

<johnny>
warren, your ip command for the auto host names doesn't work here
16:53
to get the ip
16:53
it says 0/0 isn't a valid prefix
16:53
this bit from ltsp-update-sshkeys seems to work tho
16:53
/sbin/ip -o -f inet addr show | sed -e 's,.* \(.*\)/.*,\1,' | grep -v '^127'
16:54
iproute2 isn't a required package on gentoo, we still default to ifconfig
16:54
so i'm not that familiar with it, except in the context of networkmanager requiring it i think
16:57
which reminds me.. would it be fair to add a bit to ltsp-update-sshkeys to fallback on ifconfig ?
16:58
<vagrantc_>
it's not default on debian either, we just simply depend on it in our package.

vagrantc_, for a specific reason?

why not just use ifconfig if it exists?

johnny: iproute is the way of the future, and it's been that was since before ltsp5 was ltsp5 :)
17:20
<johnny>
then why isn't it default in either of our distros?
17:20
<vagrantc_>
because they're curmudgeonly
17:20
<johnny>
upon which yours is even releasing with ifconfig AGAIN?
17:20
iproute2 syntax sucks anyways

hi, i successfully installed fedora 9 with ltsp 5 using the LiveUSB last night and it's working fine. booting all my clients. my question is how do I change the login screens on the clients. i used gdmsetup before, but now can't
20:56
<cilkay>
I want my LTSP server to do double duty as a Clonezilla http://www.clonezilla.org/ server. Is that feasible or am I just asking for trouble?
20:57
<petre>
kwak, I'm not sure, but the default one you see now will probably change in the not-too-distant
20:57
<cilkay>
I think if I modified /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default, it should be feasible to provide an option for NetBoot or Reimage.
20:57
<petre>
future to something referencing k12linux
20:59
<cilkay>
I'm going to have a mix of fat and thin clients, depending on use so it makes sense for the LTSP server to do double duty.
21:02
<johnny>
cilkay, i wouldn't overload your server too much..
21:02
but it's possible to set that per
21:02
kwak, it isn't gdm.. so gdm setup won't work
21:03
ubuntu has their own theme they use
21:03
it's not bad
21:03
somebody needs to make one for me
21:03
actually that reminds me...
21:03
oh.. jam isn't here
21:03
i wonder if we could have an ltsp contest for artwork
21:03
one for each distro
21:03
<cilkay>
The "overload" part is nothing that more hardware resources can't cure. :) I was just inquiring about the technical feasibility.
21:04
<johnny>
it'd be nice if they all used the distro's native
21:04
type stylings
21:04
<cilkay>
I discovered a few scary things about GDM themes today.
21:04
<johnny>
but with LTSP in the word
21:04
err in the logoish
21:04
well sure.. if they pxe boot
21:04
but.. that'd be one more button to press, to choose between either
21:05
<cilkay>
I presume one can set the default to be NetBoot.
21:05
<johnny>
easier to just serve it up off another nic and dhcp
21:05
sure..
21:05
it does have menu support
21:06
<cilkay>
I didn't like how the screen went dark and resynced after a user entered their username into GDM and hit return so I was on a quest to find a GDM theme that has username and password on one screen to avoid that bit of ugliness.
21:07
By switching the theme to the Human with Faces GDM theme, I could consistently lock up the server.
21:07
No keyboard control. No ssh access. Only power cycling the machine had any effect.

tring again

trying again
23:19
<johnny>
added it where?
23:20
to the server ? and not to the ltsp chroot ?
23:20
you want it on the server
23:21
<kwak>
yeap, to the server. so that's wrong? in the guide there's a command to add i think luseradd, but didn't work.
23:21
<johnny>
you want it on the server
23:21
but not in the chroot
23:21
if you can ssh to your server IP
23:21
as that user
23:21
it should work
23:22ace_suares has quit IRC

o you mean, in FC9 when i create users for the thin client, it's not done on the server?
23:24ace_suares has joined #ltsp
23:25
<johnny>
no
23:25
i'm saying the opposite
23:26
i just wanted to clarify .. sorry for making it more confusing
23:26
the chroot contains no users
23:26
try sshing to your user account..
23:26
the one you created
23:26
make sure that works
23:27
<kwak>
yes, it works.
23:28
<johnny>
and make sure it isn't hte user you are logged in as
23:29
on the gui
23:29
<kwak>
so how do I add users to chroot? im new to this thing. Im also planning to add users in the WIndows AD, so users logging in to thin clients will authenticate to the AD
23:29
<johnny>
you don't
23:29
just add them to the server
23:29
and setup ldap there
23:29
make sure tho
23:30
that all the users are in groups of their own name
23:30
as the primary group
23:30
that way the devices only show up to those who plugged them in

and login with that
23:34
not as the user you are already logged in as
