ogra, hi
04:36
<Jarlo>
Hello all, Im new to ltsp and ubuntu admin in general, I have a new thincan DBE60-1 which Ive added to config, when I fire up box I get a kernal panic -not syncing: Attempting to kill idle task, I have a newer model DBE61 working well on the network since install last week. Any ideas what I should do
04:38
<amol>
ogra, local storage devices are not getting detected at client side..
04:46
<johnny>
amol, talk to the room please
04:46
not a person
04:46
unless a conversation has already been started
04:46
<cyberorg>
johnny talk to the hand eh?
04:47
<johnny>
cyberorg, it's something i see over all sorts of rooms... folks need to learn nettiquette
04:47
<cyberorg>
amol, you need ltspfs installed on the server, and many tiny details correct in the chroot
04:48
<johnny>
ubuntu does a fine job with that tho
04:52bobby_C has quit IRC
04:52bobby_C has joined #ltsp
04:55
<amol>
cyberorg, can you tell me tiny details??
04:58
<johnny>
cyberorg, the last problem was that stuff wasn't even being seen on plug
04:58
via udev
04:58
err
04:58
before udev
05:00
<amol>
i am not seeing any log event when i am plugging pen drive
05:01
but before installing ldm i was not getting login screen ..was able to access local hard disk and pen drive in terminal mode
05:02
after installing ldm automayically ltsp-client ltspfsd got removed..
05:03
now if i plug in pen drive on server that pen drive as well harddisk of server able to access
05:03
at client workstation
05:05
<johnny>
ldm comes by defualt
05:05
why did you mess with it?
05:05
if i was you.. i'd regenerate a new chroot
05:22
<amol>
johnny, means?? what i should i do?
05:22
regenerate new chroot?
05:25
<cyberorg>
amol, look at all debian ltsp packages closely, what it installs in the server, in the client, what files it adds, modifies etc
05:25
just doing it trial and error is waste of your time
05:26
you can ask if you dont understand anything after you have gone through the list of pieces that makes ltsp and the files they install

<cyberorg>
amol, some information is available here http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/IntegratingLtsp that may help, although bit outdated
05:28
<amol>
cyberorg, i am having one doubt..when i am craeting any doc where it should store on server /home/user/ or /opt/ltsp/i386/home/user/
05:29
??
05:29
for me it is storing at /home/user/
05:29
<cyberorg>
/home/user on the server
05:30
<amol>
then why /opt/ltsp/i38x/home folder is created??
05:30
<cyberorg>
for local device to work, ltspfs should be installed on the server, and ltspfsd should be running in the client
05:30
<amol>
cyberorg, ltspfs in chroot enviornment or as ltsp-server?
05:31
<cyberorg>
<cyberorg> for local device to work, ltspfs should be installed on the server, and ltspfsd should be running in the client
05:33bobby_C has quit IRC
05:34mikkel has quit IRC
05:35
<johnny>
amol, home can be used for local apps, which will be more easily available in future releases
05:36
amol, delete your /opt/ltsp/i386 and redo ltsp-build-client
05:36
<amol>
what we wil happen after doing this??
05:36
once again generating tree will solve any problem?
05:37
<johnny>
you broke it
05:37
<cyberorg>
amol, all configurations are supposed to be done automatically when the client is built, manual intervention means messups
05:38
<johnny>
by removing stuff or adding ldm or whatever you did
05:38
ldm should already be there, you're not supposed to install it

08:03elisboa_ has joined #ltsp

<cyberorg>
Jarlo, may be you are missing some network module, there should be more information before kernel panic
08:04
network or other kernel module in initrd
08:06

Hey Petaris
09:14
<Petaris>
Hi sbalneav
09:15joebaker has quit IRC
09:15
<Petaris>
Is there a way to have clients automatically login at boot with a pre-specified username?
09:16
<sbalneav>
Yup
09:16
<Petaris>
like student1, student2
09:16
ah, cool
09:16
<sbalneav>
Are you talking LTSP5?
09:16
<Petaris>
yes, kiwi-ltsp
09:16
MueKow
09:16
er, LTSP-5
09:17
<sbalneav>
As far as I know, yes
09:17
<cyberorg>
in lts.conf LDM_USERNAME = test LDM_PASSWORD = 123456 LDM_AUTOLOGIN = True
09:17
<sbalneav>
Yep
09:17
<Petaris>
ok,, then I just set the station by mac?
09:17
Hi cyberorg, didn't know you were in here
09:18
<cyberorg>
Petaris, yes, if you have 11.0 installed, you can have easy-ltsp generate lts.conf
09:18
<Petaris>
ahh, I am using SLED 10
09:19ogra has quit IRC
09:19
<cyberorg>
Petaris, copy in lts.conf generated elsewhere or manually edit /srv/tftpboot/KIWI/lts.conf
09:19
<Petaris>
ok
09:19
I am in the lts.conf file now
09:19
already made a backup
09:19
;)
09:19
<cyberorg>
you can at least use easy-ltsp to look up all the variables that you can use, put the variables under [MAC] section
09:20
<Petaris>
ok
09:20
then I just have to figure out how to find the mac addresses on the clients :)

jammcq: does ltsp-discuss block emails with attachments?
09:46
So, someone on ltsp-discuss was looking for a way to restrict user from logging on to a particular machine, so I whipped up a script. I will pastebot for anyone here interested...
09:46
<ltsppbot>
"Gadi" pasted "/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ldm/rc.d/S20restrictUser" (28 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/82

the momentum is building
10:17

why is Local Apps on the agenda?
10:17
didn't we do that already :)
10:17
<jammcq>
is it done?
10:17
<Gadi>
well, ogra has to do his automagic piece (which, frankly, I still don't see how to handle cleanly)
10:18
<jammcq>
well...
10:18
<Gadi>
well, well...

jammcq: will you be driving through Portland?
10:27
<jammcq>
possibly
10:27
we might come through canada and drop down into maine
10:27
<Gadi>
ah
10:27
<jammcq>
it's shorter to stay in canada longer
10:28* Gadi weighs driving from NY vs. flying and renting a car
10:29
<jammcq>
i'm beginning to belive getting out on the open road isn't an east coast thing
10:29* Gadi looks at price of gas...
10:29
<Gadi>
:)
10:30
<jammcq>
believe me, I've seen the price of gas. I have 2 suburbans to keep on the road
10:30
<Gadi>
how long is the drive for u?
10:30
for me, its ~7hrs
10:31
<jammcq>
it's 1002 miles each way
10:31
and so far, I think there will be 4 of us in the car
10:31
<Gadi>
thats a lot of open road
10:31
<jammcq>
sure is
10:33
<Blinny>
and a lot of closed car
10:33
<jammcq>

I love southwest harbor, but travel arrangements are always a pain
10:39* Gadi should own a boat
10:39
<jammcq>
yeah, then we'd just drive to New York and get on your boat
10:39
and start rowing
10:40
<Gadi>
I wonder how much it costs to fly into sw harbor
10:40
that'd be a trip
10:40
<jammcq>
well, you'd have to charter a private plane
10:41
a great trip would be from that small airport near me
10:41
when I get my jet, that's what I'll do
10:42
<Gadi>
BHB is only for charters?
10:42
<jammcq>
well, I don't thnk there's any commercial flights there
10:42ATA_Dark_Shadow has quit IRC
10:43
<cliebow>
BHB is served by Bar Harbor Airlines..prob quite pricey
10:44
<Gadi>
well, it would take 3 hours and cost almost $700
10:44
:P
10:44
(on US air)
10:44
<cliebow>
you "could" hitch aride with Martha Stewart..
10:44
<jammcq>
what, through philly ?
10:44

thru BOS
10:47
cliebow: is there any public transportation to the seawall?

or cabs?

10:47
<cliebow>
lots o cabs
10:48
<Gadi>
how much for a cab from Bangor airport?
10:48
<cliebow>
errr..not sure...i might be able to come after you..
10:48
<Gadi>
just wondering what the options are...
10:49
since there's always a car involved, it seems to almost always be easiest to drive from NY
10:49
<cliebow>
i can find out..thursday??

anyone here familiar with the CentOS version of K12LTSP? I need VNC help
12:32elisboa_ has quit IRC
12:32
<Shane-S>
specifically, I don't have a good workspace to perform tasks at the keyboard and mouse, as it is in a tight room without a KVM, I need to enable VNC access for root
12:33elisboa_ has joined #ltsp
12:34
<johnny>
sounds not like an ltsp problem at all
12:34
but a general problem with centos
12:34
i mean.. not a problem with centos.. but it doesn't sound ltsp related
12:34
just a normal centos configuration thing
12:36Subhodip has quit IRC
12:36Subhodip has joined #ltsp
12:36
<Shane-S>
well I asked here, because #k12ltsp displays an error message on its custom login screen, but I can't read it
12:36
and it is customized beyond the normal centOS I think, but not sure, just not trying it, and can't find what I need on their Wiki so far
12:37
I will keep playing at least I am in as the account I created during install
12:39Subhodip has quit IRC

<Blinny>
Shane-S: I used to run the Fedora version of K12 - What is the problem?
12:49
<Shane-S>
I wanted to VNC in as root, but says that login is not allowed
12:50
I am in as the admin user I made during the install, but the root account has more tools available
12:51spectra has joined #ltsp
12:52
<johnny>
i personally just ssh in and do all my work that way.. i don't even know how to use vnc :(
12:54
<Shane-S>
yeah, they just have nice scripts and stuf on the root desktop to copy icons to users desktops and everything
12:55
I am just now fianlly going to try and use it as I have a server that can handle my 15 clients
12:58
guess it is a centOS thing, just tried to gedit a file after su root, and it fails to launch
13:06
<stgraber>
jammcq: hey, jcastro told me you could be interested in having a look at https://wiki.stgraber.org/LTSP-Cluster (work in progress)
13:08
<Blinny>
Shane-S: Sorry, I've never turned on remote root login through VNC. Maybe under System->Administration->...?
13:09
Shane-S: And, to be honest, I wouldn't. Why not use something like FreeNX instead, so at least you get some encryption in the mix?
13:09
<Shane-S>
its not a big deal, I just need to edit the config file and I can't really fit in my closet, I might just have to work with vim
13:09
<Blinny>
Shane-S: Either way, you'll have better luck in #centos
13:10
Shane-S: If vim scares you, use pico/nano
13:12
<Shane-S>
is nano pico?
13:12
<johnny>
no
13:12
<Shane-S>
cause pico isnt on there
13:12
<johnny>
it's a pico clone
13:12
but open source
13:12
<Shane-S>
ok
13:12
thanks

cyberorg: I am having trouble with the automatic login, could you look at my lts.conf and see if I am doing something wrong? I am going off of the easy-ltsp docs and ltsp.org
13:16
http://phpfi.com/354919
13:17
<cyberorg>
Petaris, looks good to me, does writing MAC in all caps make any difference?
13:17
<Petaris>
not sure, according to the docs it shouldn't
13:18
but I will give it a try
13:18
<cyberorg>
Petaris, this is /srv/tftpboot/KIWI/lts.conf ?
13:18
<Petaris>
yes
13:18
it causes it to just blink at boot
13:19
just like it did before the CONFIGURE_X=True was in there
13:19
<cyberorg>
at what point?
13:20
<Petaris>
nope, that didn't change anything
13:20
at the point of starting X
13:21
<cyberorg>
did you check if the username and password are valid by doing ssh from another machine?
13:21
<Petaris>
yeah, its valid
13:21
though it asks me for an NDS password too
13:21
hrm
13:22
<cyberorg>
Petaris, you should be able to log in using just provided username and password
13:22
<Petaris>
right
13:22
<cyberorg>
ldm autologin with work only then
13:30
<Petaris>
ok

13:31
but it boots and logs in now
13:31
Thanks cyberorg

Petaris, just autologin troubleshooting, how to test details
13:34
<Petaris>
ahh
13:34
ok
13:35
Is there a page for autologin yet?
13:35
<cyberorg>
nope, just add http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Troubleshooting
13:35
<Petaris>
ahh, ok
13:35
will do
13:35
<cyberorg>
autologin should not have many trouble to fill its own wiki page :)

hey guys, if I am running gnome on my server, and I want to try KDE out on a client, what should I change?
15:46
this is pertaining to Fedora
15:46
the ltsp-client-launch doesn't have a Desktop="gdm" line in there
15:48
and /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/sysconfig/desktop refers to this: DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/ltsp-client-launch
15:50
<johnny>
it doesn't use gdm
15:50
it uses ldm
15:51
set it on your server
15:51
if you know the proper session starter
15:51
you can add LDM_SESSION
15:51
with the path
15:51
to your lts.conf
15:55
<Lns>
Didn't someone just ask this on the list?
15:55
I think you need to set your default x-session-manager via the
15:55
update-alternatives command to default to KDE. That should do it. - Scott
