hi all - Have you ever have tested virtual LTSP enviroment - i mean e.g. Virtual box with ltsp server and clients all as virtual machines ?
06:26
<ogra>
killsalad, thats how most of us do development
06:27
<killsalad>
silly me ;) - How can i setup a virtualbox and host machine ?
06:27* ogra can tell you for ubuntu :)
06:28
<killsalad>
ubuntu is kosher
06:28
<ogra>
but for the others it might work similar
06:28
so set up a vm with 4-5G virtual disk and 512M ram
06:28
create a second NIC for the internal network
06:29
then get the ubuntu alternate CD
06:29Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC
06:29
<ogra>
use the iso as CDrom and start the vm ... hit F4 and select "install ltsp server" from the popup menu
06:29
!ubuntu
06:29
<ltspbot`>
ogra: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
06:30
<ogra>
the second link has a detaled description
06:30hersonls has joined #ltsp
06:30
<ogra>
if you are done, create another vw without disk, and set the NIC to the sme internal network, set up netbooting in the preferences for that vm
06:31hersonls has quit IRC
06:31
<ogra>
it also helps to limit the graphics ram to 2M, that will force the screen size to 800x600
06:31
s/vw/vm/
06:32
boot the server, then boot the client ... thats it
06:33
Marie_untu, with something like the above setup you can easily do screenshots from the client vm btw
06:34
doing them on a physical client would require a lot of hackery
06:35Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp
06:35
<ogra>
i.e. setting up a script that executes xwd from the screen.d script of ldm might be a possibility ... but then you need to find a way to copy them to the server
06:35
and convert them indeed, xwd only does raw screengrabs (see man xwd)
06:43
<killsalad>
ok thanks

helo, I have an ltsp server on a debian/lenny box, and the ldm clock shows the wrong time, though the machine clock is right. It does not seem to be a TZ mistake, cause the minutes are wrong too...
08:45
how can I set the correct time for the ldm clock?

<fgiraldeau>
krishna: ldm uses localtime() function, so it takes into account the timezone. You should adjust the timezone inside client root.
09:02
<krishna>
fgiraldeau: ok, i'll check that

racquad: what do you want to cluster?
11:39
<johnny>
there's something called ltsp-cluster i've seen, but i don't know anything about it.

lejo_: I want to build a high availability system running LTSP. If I have only one server, if it goes down, my whole net is down
12:07
lejo_: that's what I want to avoid
12:07
<johnny>
look at ltsp-cluster
12:14
<racquad>
johnny: where?
12:14
<johnny>
i don't know
12:14
i just heard somebody mention it
12:14
stgraber in fact
12:17makghosh has joined #ltsp

Hi LTSP
12:25
can somebody tell me how can I set per client hostnames???
12:29
<johnny>
do ti in the dns
12:29
and dhcp
12:29
that's why i use dnsmasq..
12:31
<stgraber>
racquad: https://wiki.stgraber.org/LTSP-Cluster
12:32
racquad: it used to be known as Mille-Xterm, I'm working for the company who's working on that. My main goal is to have it more closely integrated with standard LTSP.
12:32
<Armagnac>
I had set the DHCP3 config file as
12:32
host user1 {
12:33
...
12:33
}
12:33
and in the DNS also
12:33
<stgraber>
We have it deployed at some school districts here in Canada (Quebec) on over 2000 clients (some more k to come) and used by over 40k users
12:33
racquad: if you want any more info on it, feel free to contact me or fgiraldeau (currently out for lunch)
12:34
<vagrantc>
stgraber: did you catch my comments the other day regarding your patches?
12:35
<stgraber>
vagrantc: I don't think so, where did you send it ?
12:35
<vagrantc>
stgraber: just in irc ...
12:35
should've replied to the list ...
12:35
<stgraber>
ok, so probably somewhere in my backlog :)
12:35* vagrantc wonders if anyone still has them in backlog
12:35
<stgraber>
I don't :) (just checked)
12:38
<racquad>
stgraber: thanks a lot! I need to deploy a small network, not more than 6 clients, but it must be 100% uptime
12:38
<vagrantc>
stgraber: mostly smallish things
12:38* ogra-maemo probably, but on a different device
12:39
<vagrantc>
stgraber: for the password thing, doing a "while ! passwd ..." instead of the set +e, set -e stuff ...
12:39
stgraber: only setting PULSE_SERVER if SOUND=true
12:40
stgraber: using "visudo -c" to check the sudo edits ...
12:41
stgraber: and for the password matching, i was also thinking it should eventually fail, rather than an infinite loop
12:41
stgraber: er, passwd call
12:42
probably the typical 3 tries or something
12:44
stgraber: i should have time today to merge them, and make some of those changes :)

12:48Pascal_1 has left #ltsp
12:49
<vagrantc>
stgraber: so the cluster stuff you're doing is high availability and scaleability?

vagrantc: yeah, some customers want scalability some others want HA and some wants both
13:04
ltsp-cluster itself is done for scalability but you can install all services on HA platforms (installing each services twice and using heartbeat or similar things)
13:04nubae has quit IRC
13:08
<stgraber>
vagrantc: can you also apply a small patch on ldm-trunk ? just a three liner, I don't think it's worth me creating a branch for it

13:19Subhodip has quit IRC
13:19K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp
13:19
<stgraber>
vagrantc: it's for us as we need to set some variables every-time someone logs out
13:19johnny has left #ltsp
13:19
<stgraber>
vagrantc: to make him switch to another server or set the session as auto-login, ...
13:20
our customers want to be able to switch a computer from standard login to autologin or to rdesktop client without having to reboot
13:20
so we have our own loop that checks that and set the env variables accordingly
13:20
<vagrantc>
fair enough :)
13:21
although, how does that actually accomplish that? won't they just end up with a console at that point?
13:21
<stgraber>
no, they actually start ldm-cluster that has the loop and calls the ldm session script
13:22
so they don't start screen.d/ldm directly but screen.d/ldm-cluster that then calls screen.d/ldm
13:23japerry has joined #ltsp
13:23
<vagrantc>
stgraber: got it. :)
13:24
<stgraber>
we used to just have a fork of screen.d/ldm but with that three-liner I can get rid of over 100 duplicate lines in our script :)
13:28gate_keeper_ has joined #ltsp

stgraber: ok, i'll commit that.
13:29* vagrantc plays with bzr ci --author
13:31
<stgraber>
thanks
13:33
<ogra>
vagrantc, btw, does debian have debcommit -r ?
13:33
it automatically tags bzr trees
13:33
(its a new policy in ubuntu for packages built from trees)

its pretty nice for native stuff

stgraber: this password patch takes a while to really test...
13:50
i should've remembered to do a minimal install
13:56
<stgraber>
yeah and it currently doesn't work with Intrepid due to some weird PAM bug (basically returning 0 even if passwords don't match)
13:58
<vagrantc>
seems to be working with debian lenny, at least :)
13:58kalib has left #ltsp

stgraber: do you think it's ok to finish up ltsp-build-client even if the passwords never match ?

15:35
removing ENV{ID_TYPE}=="disk" from it makes it work (but I don't understand why)

hey - is there a bot function that can alert IRC of a mailing list post? That might help "connect" all of these different communication channels for LTSP related stuff. Just a thought.

stgraber, debian uses differences to upstream, upstream clearly defines custom rules have to be avbove 60 or some such
16:47
or it might be 80
16:48
debian ignores that and adds them at 50, which means they get overridden in ubuntu by system rules
16:48
i guess we just need to bump the numbering
16:49
stgraber, i'll inspect that and dicuss it with Keybuk the next days

** Message: another SSH agent is running at: /tmp/ssh-jDZWus7195/agent.7195
17:35
??
17:35
i dont think the dbus message is really at fault
17:36
<vagrantc>
ok, so maybe it's something else.
17:36
<ogra>
check for hanging sshd's
17:36
<vagrantc>
it doesn't need the ssh agent, though
17:36
no hung sshd's
17:37
<ogra>
gnome-session looks for it
17:37
<vagrantc>
lots of dbus-daemon, gvfsd*, trackerd, bonobo-activation-server and gnome-vfs-daemon processes still running
17:38
<ogra>
uuuh
17:38* ogra recommeds to remove tracker from ltsp servers
17:38
<vagrantc>
heh
17:38
<ogra>
its disabled by default
17:38
but users are able to enable it
17:39
<vagrantc>
this is still logging in with sdm, so i'm guessing LTSP_CLIENT isn't set.
17:40* ogra has no idea why that should influence anything
17:40
<vagrantc>
well, if you said it's disabled by default, i don't know how else it would determine it's an LTSP login vs. some other login
17:41
<ogra>
but tracker isnt checking for LTSP_CLIENT
17:41
tracker only checks a gconf key which is off by default on hardy
17:41
but users can enable it
17:42
<vagrantc>
ah
17:43
<ogra>
check for mounted ~/.gvfs dirs of logged out users
17:43GiantPickle has joined #ltsp

17:44* stgraber just spent an hour creating a BIOS floppy disk for a server ... why can't BIOS developers just generate a .iso (HP does) :)
17:45
<ogra>
because most BIOS devs still use DOS 5.x
17:45
<stgraber>
btw, doesmu is great for generating .img, you just create an empty .img, make dosemu use it then start that .exe crap you got from the BIOS manufacturer
17:45
<ogra>
i even saw some using 4.x
17:46
*recently* at a well known company
17:46
<stgraber>
well, that's a Intel server board so I'd have expected them to consider that most of their user won't use a old Windows on that kind of things :)
17:46
<ogra>
its all about the OEM ...
17:47
even if intel builds the whole board, the OEM puts the BIOS on it
17:47Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp
17:47
<stgraber>
nah, that's a Intel product
17:47
I had to download the BIOS from Intel's webiste
17:48
*website
17:48
<ogra>
ah
17:49
<stgraber>
I want our LTSP devel server to have hyper-threading turned on, the CPU has the HT flag in /etc/cpuinfo but the BIOS doesn't show the option
17:49
as we are like 8 BIOS revisions behind, I hope the new one will suddenly bring the HT option
17:50
<ogra>
note that there are dual cores that dont suport HT
17:50
i own one

ogra: I guess you are speaking of VT (virtualization) on Core2Duo where indeed some don't have it. I'm speaking of HT (hyper-threading) which is the virtual dual-core of Pentium4.
17:59
<ogra>
oh, right, sorry mixed that up
18:02

hrm. reboot didn't fix the problem ...
18:03jbrett has joined #ltsp

18:05
<ogra>
stale sockets ?
18:05
<vagrantc>
ogra: where would i look?
18:06
<ogra>
well, actually in /tmp, but that should have been cleaned after the reboot
18:07
<vagrantc>
there's a /tmp/gconfd-$user, orbit-, seahorse-* all owned by the user
18:07
but that's after they failed to log in
18:12
<stgraber>
vagrantc: hehe, just noticed something. It looks like I forgot to push one of my commits :)
18:13
<vagrantc>
stgraber: :P
18:13
<stgraber>
Can you remove "--no-install-recommends" from t030-ltsp-cluster ?
18:13
<vagrantc>
or i didn't pull them
18:13
looks like there was one patch i hadn't pulled
18:14
<stgraber>
the other change in that rev is that I add iTalc's PPA but I plan to have the package uploaded in Intrepid before RC so I probablly won't need it
18:15
<vagrantc>
stgraber: so i shouldn't include that?
18:15
<stgraber>
just remove the --no-install-recommends and don't add italc's PPA
18:20
<ogra>
note that --no-install-recommends is a default apt setting in intrepids ltsp
18:20
you dont need to set it explicitly and to unset it you need to change APT_GET_OPTS completely
18:21
or reset them and seed them newly without --no-install-recommends rather
18:26
<stgraber>
oh, ok. I'll have a look tomorrow and make sure we don't have problems with our packages (I'm pretty sure some of them expect Intrepid's behavior for recommends)
18:26
anyway, I can handle in the packaging so I shouldn't have to force recommends, if I do I can just make these standard recommends
18:31warren has joined #ltsp

Yeah, I have ltsp-cluster integration in italc-launcher done :)
18:37
if avahi is present, it scans using avahi, then if ltsp-cluster is present, it also scans using ltsp-cluster
18:38
and if none of them is present it just starts with an empty classroom
18:39vagrantc has quit IRC
18:40
<ogra>
sweet
18:41
<stgraber>
yeah, I also make avahi-utils a Suggest so we don't get it installed by default
18:42
when installed italc will use it
18:45
well, I'm not really sure if I should make it a Suggest or a Recommend :)
18:46
1) I want iTalc to be easy to use so having it a Recommends make sense
18:46
2) I remember moving it to Suggest because avahi got installed in my LTSP chroot
18:46
now that you say that 2 shouldn't happen, I may well move both back to Recommends
18:51
ogra: suggestions ?
18:52staffencasa has quit IRC
18:52

well, can you look up how much ram it uses ?

if its not to much i wouldnt object having it in the chroot
18:55
<stgraber>
avahi 5230 0.0 0.0 2888 1444 ? Ss 15:53 0:00 avahi-daemon: running [ltsp.local]
18:55
avahi 5231 0.0 0.0 2888 500 ? Ss 15:53 0:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper
18:57
<ogra>
hmm, mdns would indeed be a problem
18:57
all clients are ltsp.local
18:59
<stgraber>
indeed
19:00
<ogra>
putting a script in place that rips off the last bit of the IP and adds it to the hostname might help ;)
19:01
<stgraber>
so having it a Recommend for italc-client should make it installed on workstations but not on thin clients right ?
19:01
<ogra>
right

hey johnny.....am trying to use ltsp with gnewsense
23:58
its based on ubuntu
23:58
but i have problems because it still looks for ubuntu
23:58
would it be easier to compile ltsp directly?
23:59
<Ryan52>
ltsp isn't compiled. it's all scripts.
23:59
what are you having problems with?
