00:08* sbalneav thinks sushi makes up for the lack of grammatical articles
00:16
<warren>
sbalneav: Kobe beef makes up for the lack of anything.
00:17
Eric Harrison is here with me.
00:17
Oh man. Two days ago we had a gigantic Korean-style barbecue dinner, with tons of Kobe beef. ~$280 for 6 people. In America that amount of Kobe beef would be like $750+.
00:17
Kobe beef ruins all other beef.
00:19
<johnny>
beef is bad for the planet anyways
00:19
cows suck
00:19
<warren>
I know
00:19
I'm evil
00:19
I might stop eating beef all year in order to save enough karma to eat kobe beef once a year.
00:20
<rjune>
I was just called a liberal hippie
00:20
<johnny>
limiting consumption would be a good first step
00:20
rjune, aren't you?
00:20* rjune slaps johnny
00:20
<johnny>
is that a problem?
00:21
<gonzaloaf_laptop>
johnny, you have used rom-o-matic right? can you help me with an issue?
00:21
<rjune>
it's incorrect.
00:21
<johnny>
gonzaloaf_laptop, i generated a floppy to use
00:21
that's all i know :)
00:21
i used floppies for my clients that didn't have netboot
00:21
<rjune>
gonzaloaf_laptop: what's up?
00:22
<gonzaloaf_laptop>
johnny, I'm trying to download an iso for a cd, floppies are too old :p
00:22
<johnny>
rjune, you don't want peace, love , and happiness?
00:22
<rjune>
I prefer the dos loader and run from hd
00:22
<johnny>
gonzaloaf_laptop, that's why i used em , since nobody needs to use the floppy drive :)
00:22
<rjune>
I'll settle for meat, booze, and sex
00:22
<johnny>
i just taped up the floppy holes
00:22
<rjune>
romomatic generates an iso now?
00:23
<johnny>
gonzaloaf_laptop, too easy for people to lose the floppies.. i'm sure it'd be worse with cds
00:25
<gonzaloaf_laptop>
johnny, I'm in a testing environment so that wouldnt be a problem, the thing is that I downloaded the iso from http://www.rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-git/gpxe.git/contrib/rom-o-matic/ I chose the model of NIC that 'lspci' told me I have but it doesnt boot
00:25indradg has quit IRC
00:25
<gonzaloaf_laptop>
johnny, I have tried 3 models
00:25
<johnny>
it was probably the wrong pcicd
00:25
you should be able to get a multi driver cd
00:26
<gonzaloaf_laptop>
how?
00:26
<johnny>
i don't know
00:26
too small to fit on a floppy :)
00:26
so i didn't bother investigating
00:28Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC
00:30
<gonzaloaf_laptop>
johnny, I'm sure I got the right pcicd
00:30
<johnny>
then i have no idea
00:30
<gonzaloaf_laptop>
:(
00:31
johnny, am I getting the iso from the correct page?
00:31
gpxe?
00:31
<johnny>
i guess
00:31
i think that's what i used
00:31
been a year since i generated mine
00:32
woot folks write the best product captions

Hi! I'm new in thin-clients. Is there any ability to use LTSP on windows? I need to be able to use windows server with linux clients. Sounds ugly, but it's my task.
03:25
I didn't found much. Just something about playing with samba and using second TSE-server (but for windows thin-clients)

03:53

vlt: I should boot linux in someway before using rdesktop
03:54
In old (~2003) mailing list archive was suggested to use samba (and put linux distro to there). But I doubt it works

Snow I can get here by the metric tonne. Hurricanes, however, are a little harder to come by on the prairies.

09:25
although, meat in the UK isn't quite the same as some other places i've been
09:25

You! Yes you behind the bikesheds! Stand still laddy!
09:26
<jammcq>
I think scotty knows what' I'm talking about
09:26
<sbalneav>
Yeah
09:26
That one steak was a little disappointing.
09:26
<pscheie>
Now bring us a figgy pudding
09:26
<jammcq>
heh, and that was their best recommendation :)
09:27
<sbalneav>
Should have gone for fish & chips
09:27
<pscheie>
in hell, the English are the chefs...
09:27* jammcq makes note to self. stay out of hell
09:28
<sbalneav>
Oh, I've had good meals in england. Just not THAT particular meal.
09:28
<jammcq>
i've been to england 4 times.... still hoping to find a decent meal
09:28
<pscheie>
most memorable meal I had in England was a grilled cheese sandwich from a vending machine

Morning!
09:45
I have more information regarding my problem printing to thin clients' printers. Before the latest libcupsys2 update it worked fine. Afterwards, no go.
09:45
I see lots of cups audit lines in /var/log/messages and wonder if this is related

sbalneav: Yes.

sbalneav: Here's what I've done
10:03
I don't think this is necessarily #ltsp related, as I've taken a standalone hardy install and printed before and after the libcupsys2 update - before worked, after didn't
10:03
However, it is something specific with this printer because another thin client began working after a reboot.

warren, finally got a chance to fix flash
11:30
on flash 10
11:30
just needed the nspluginwrapper.i386 like you said
11:31
kind of a strange requirement
11:33

pscheie, yup
11:40
I have an 8 core server with 16GB or ram running 64bit fedora. Sound working even on flash :)
11:40
<pscheie>
how many clients?
11:41
<monteslu>
about 70
11:41
<pscheie>
how much did the server cost?
11:41
<monteslu>
the server as about $4200
11:42
or was it 5200? Sorry, can't remember
11:42
but it was cheap for what I got
11:42
<pscheie>
did you build it or buy it?
11:42
<monteslu>
also has 3 drives i have in a raid5
11:42
got it from dell
11:42
tired of building boxes :)
11:43
<jammcq>
sbalneav: hey, what was that firefox plug-in that allows editing fields with a real text editor?
11:44
<monteslu>
Only problem i have left is that the thin clients are taking about 4 minutes to log in
11:45
top on the thin client shows "sh" is running, not sure what the script is doing
11:48
<pscheie>
jammcq, greasemonkey?
11:48
<jammcq>
hmm, never heard of that one
11:48
<ogra>
mozed or some such
11:48
<jammcq>
scotty pointed out a plug in quite a while ago
11:48
yeah, mozed could be it
11:48
<pscheie>
greasemonkey may only be for wikis
11:49
<jammcq>
let's you invoke a local editor to edit the text fields
11:49
VERY handy when editing wiki pages
11:49
<pscheie>
monteslu, what kind of hardware are the clients?
11:49
<Q-FUNK>
re
11:49
<pscheie>
jammcq, such as vi?
11:49
<jammcq>
yep
11:49
<pscheie>
cool!
11:50* pscheie goes looking for mozed
11:50
<monteslu>
pscheie, mostly 500MHz via chips with 128mb of RAM. About 30 800MHz clients with 512MB ram
11:50
not sure if the faster ones are as slow to log in as well

<pscheie>
monteslu, 4 minutes to login? or from boot to logged in?
11:52
login = for a user to log in
11:52
<monteslu>
from login screen to gnome finishing loading
11:52
boot is actually not that bad
11:53
<ogra>
boot should be below a minute on any ltsp5 implementation nowadays
11:53
<Lns>
ogra: not w/the nbd_swap issue though
11:53
<ogra>
monteslu, checked ~/.xsession-errors ?
11:53
<Lns>
in ubuntu anyway
11:54
<sbalneav>
jammcq: mozex
11:54
<monteslu>
boot taking long wouldn't be a big deal because it only neds to be done in the morning, but right now the slow login is a pain because kids have to wait
11:54
<ogra>
Lns, yes, i'll get to the ton of hardy fixes after release
11:54
<Lns>
monteslu: are you monitoring the server cpu usage? top?
11:54
<ogra>
10 days ...
11:54
<Lns>
ogra: :)
11:54
<monteslu>
ogra, not yet. I'll give that shot
11:54
Lns, top on the client shows sh eating the cpu
11:55
<sbalneav>
monteslu: What's taking a long time? Time to the login prompt? Or time to log in?
11:55
<monteslu>
i don't think the server is being taxed at all
11:55
<ogra>
sbalneav, login
11:55
<monteslu>
time to login
11:55
<sbalneav>
Probably a DNS failure
11:55
ssh is trying to do a reverse lookup from the hostname
11:55* ogra wouldnt know anything that needs dns in the ubuntu session
11:55
<sbalneav>
ssh
11:55
<ogra>
missing loopback might be an issue
11:56
<sbalneav>
it tries to do a reverse mapping by default
11:56* pscheie has seen standalone ssh have that same DNS problem
11:56gonzaloaf has quit IRC
11:56
<ogra>

I used to have issues back in the Feisty days with not being able to reach DNS and it booting to a busybox prompt, but that was a separate issue
11:56
<jammcq>
bummer, 'Mozex' is for OLDER versions of firefox
11:56
<sbalneav>
either make sure the terminals are listed in DNS, or in /etc/hosts
11:56
<ogra>
jammcq, might be that greasemonkey replaces it
11:56
<Lns>
sbalneav: i've never had to do that myself
11:56
<sbalneav>
jammcq: Go for the development version
11:57
it'll work in 3
11:57

monteslu: is this a 1-NIC or 2-NIC setup?
11:57
<jammcq>
I see no dev version
11:57
I see last updated June 12, 2004
11:57
<monteslu>
Lns, unfortunately a 2 NIC. I couldnt get 1 NIC to work

i really don't like the bridge setup
11:57
this is fedora 9, btw
11:57
<jammcq>
ah
11:57
found it
11:57

11:57
<ogra>
bridge setup ?
11:57
ah, fedora
11:58
<Lns>
ogra: i think he means the forwarding of wan traffic over the ltsp server
11:58
<ogra>
no, fedora has a weird bridge setup for their clients
11:58
<Lns>
monteslu: why couldn't you get the 1-nic setup to work?
11:58
<monteslu>
WAN is hit via a gateway
11:58
<Lns>
oh
11:58
<ogra>
not using a two nic setup by default like we do in ubuntu
11:58
<monteslu>
Lns, because the bridge wont let tft traffic through
11:59
two nic is the default as well i think but I'd rather manage the network myself
11:59
<Lns>
this is a real quote-unquote network "bridge" we're talking about? As in, a lan segment router type device?
11:59
<monteslu>
Lns, nope

sbalneav, with ltsp client ?

12:02
<sbalneav>
masus: What kind of server are you running? Ubuntu?
12:02
<ogra>
looks like your NIC has no driver
12:03
<masus>
sbalneav: debian etch
12:03
sbalneav: it's only one client that cant connect
12:03
<gonzaloaf>
ogra, I dont have that file
12:03
<ogra>
gonzaloaf, what distro ?
12:03
<sbalneav>
Is it the same as all your other clients?
12:03
<gonzaloaf>
ubuntu
12:03
<ogra>
gonzaloaf, create it then
12:03
<vagrantc>
sbalneav, stgraber: how important is the cdpinger segfault patches? what are the situations when it comes up? how important is it that i push them for the next debian stable release?
12:04
<ogra>
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf should have told you to btw ...
12:04
vagrantc, i have never seen it not working despite the segfaults
12:04
so it might just be cosmetic
12:04
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: Well, cdpinger was segfaulting for me and warren fairly consistently
12:05
<ogra>
sbalneav, for me too, but cdroms worked nontheless
12:05
<sbalneav>
I'd say it's an important to fix.
12:05
<vagrantc>
ogra: that's sort of my experience as well ... i've seen the segfaults ... but i never saw it break anything ...
12:05

12:07
is this client the same as all your other ones?
12:07
be back in 15, gotta go run an errand.
12:07
<masus>
sbalneav: i have answered -> debian etch
12:08
<sbalneav>
sbalneav> Is it the same as all your other clients?
12:08
<masus>
sbalneav: no it's different
12:08
<sbalneav>
ok
12:08
so, looks like etch isn't seeing it's network card.
12:08
change the network card.
12:08
<masus>
sbalneav: the hardware is writing here -> http://rafb.net/p/lIYhqt43.html also the other settings , configs and logs
12:09
<sbalneav>
Your client hardware description is not much help
12:09
doesn't tell me what kind of chipset it is.
12:09
<masus>
sbalneav: it's an mini pc http://www.multipc.com.tr/
12:09
<sbalneav>
whatever it is, it isn't being recognized.
12:10
try disabling the onboard nic, and installing a PCI nic like an e100 or the like
12:10
<masus>
i cant change the hardware :s if u look here u will understand http://www.multipc.com.tr/
12:10
<vagrantc>
looks kind of like the ebox2300, doesn't it?
12:10

it's a mini box

well, I'm off on an errand.
12:11
<masus>
yes i know
12:11
vagrantc: yes it's look same like ebox2300
12:12
<vagrantc>
32 bit (risc) ?
12:12
that doesn't even sound like i386
12:12

12:12
if its the ebox
12:12
<Q-FUNK>

although if it's getting that far, it must be (mostly) i386 compatible...
12:13

yeah
12:13
<masus>
vagrantc: Vortex A9100 say this something ?
12:13
<ogra>
it says "multipc 2300"
12:13
sounds not much different to ebox 2300 :)
12:13
<vagrantc>
masus: so some thin clients work, but this model doesn't ?
12:13
<masus>
vagrantc: yes
12:14
<ogra>
even if you get it to boot it wont be much fun
12:14
the ebox sucks
12:14
<Q-FUNK>
masus: Anlamiyorum!
12:14
<vagrantc>
ogra: the ebox was more like a 233MHz, though ...
12:14
ogra: no?
12:14
<ogra>
there were two models
12:14
i think there was also a 300MHz
12:14
<vagrantc>
both painfully slow?
12:14
<ogra>
yes
12:15* ogra ssh's into his router ... which is a ebox 2300 :)
12:15
<vagrantc>
heh

12:19* vagrantc forgets the break options to pass to initramfs-tools
12:19* vagrantc wonders if those options are in etch
12:20
<_UsUrPeR_>
has anyone had any luck creating new scripts in the screen.d dir?
12:20* vagrantc wonders how to get it to boot to the local device
12:21
<vagrantc>
masus: basically, we need to get the information about your device from your device itself ...
12:21
<masus>
vagrantc: http://www.compactpc.com.tw/ebox-2300SX.htm
12:21
its the same box i think
12:21
vagrantc: how can i give you the information from the device
12:22
<vagrantc>
masus: we basically need to get it to come to a shell rather than kernel panic
12:22
<cliebow>
ogra: that cd is hanging at 81% "scannng security repository" ..suppose cd is borked??
12:22
<alkisg>
vagrantc, break=bottom in pxelinux.cfg/default?
12:22
<vagrantc>
masus: but if it really is an ebox ... it's kind of unlikely to get anywhere with it.
12:23
alkisg: yeah, that's what i was trying to think of ... though i'm not sure it's available in debian etch
12:23
actually, break=top would be better
12:23
<alkisg>
(yeah, but I could only remember bottom :P)
12:23
<vagrantc>
masus: try adding break=top to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
12:23
<masus>
vagrantc: ok
12:23
<vagrantc>

hi! do you know how to fix firefox freezing issue? I use ubuntu hardy and when i open couple of tabs in firefox i get a hard freeze of thin client :-(
13:10
<sbalneav>
The whole thin client freezes?
13:10
How much ram is in the thin client?
13:11
<yemu>
64mb or 32mb
13:12
yes the whole client is dead, i have to power it down and reboot
13:12
<sbalneav>
You're probably running out of ram.
13:13
You'll need to turn on NBD swap
13:13
<yemu>
how can i do it?
13:13
<sbalneav>
!doco
13:13
<ltspbot>

13:13
<sbalneav>
Should be in there
13:14
Short answer: NBD_SWAP=True in your lts.conf

<masus>
vagrantc: ok
13:16

but i assume i have to change it
13:16

masus: my guess is that debian etch doesn't know what kind of network card you have.
13:16
<yemu>
to NBD_SWAP
13:16
<masus>
vagrantc: ok thank u very much for your time
13:16
<vagrantc>
masus: if you can figure out what ethernet module you need to load, you could force it to be loaded.
13:16

13:38
At least that's what my experience has shown
13:39
<yemu>
ok, i've just made a quick copy of chroot
13:39* Lns added the recommendation of backup to wiki
13:39
<alkisg>
yemu, also do a copy of the image before running ltsp-update-image later
13:40
<Lns>
alkisg: well he can always just rebuild the image from the copy of the chroot
13:40
but either way works
13:40
<alkisg>
Lns, sure, but I thought he already started the update, maybe something is already modified...

<alkisg>
How difficult would be to install an ltsp chroot into a client hard disk? It could be faster, and it would surely be handy for debugging...
13:41
<yemu>
creating image ;-)
13:41
<Lns>
alkisg: many have done just that.. http://thesymbiont.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=137&Itemid=145
13:41
Ask gadi about that when he's on, he works for Symbiont
13:42
they make ltsp chroots on those little guys
13:42
<alkisg>
Ah, something like thinclientos... no, I meant an ltsp image
13:42
Like, copy the Ubuntu image into a client
13:42
And probably modify some scripts...
13:42
<Lns>
alkisg: that's essentially what they're doing
13:43
<johnny>
alkisg, how would it be handy for debugging?
13:43
sounds like it'd be more difficult
13:43
what's handy for debugging, is changing from nbd to nfs
13:43
<alkisg>
johnny, e.g. I have a client that hangs up when starting X. It would be much easier to debug this locally...
13:44
<johnny>
you can still debug that locally
13:44
just switch to a console on the client
13:44
<alkisg>
I can't do modifications that stick
13:44
So every time I have to start over (hangs => reboot => modify again)
13:45
<johnny>
you mean it hardlocks everything?
13:45
did you try ssh ?
13:45
<alkisg>
yeah :(
13:45
Like, not even caps lock working
13:45
I didn't try to install ssh into the chroot
13:45
<johnny>
try that
13:45* Lns didn't know that CTRL+ALT+F8 goes straight to console log on a TC...neat
13:45
<johnny>
it's helpful
13:45
f8 is unfortunate.. it should be f+12 :)
13:45
err f12
13:45
<alkisg>
Lns, where is that? Ubuntu?
13:45
<Lns>
alkisg: yeah
13:46
<alkisg>
cool!
13:46
<Lns>
johnny: why F12?
13:46
room for more screens?
13:46
<johnny>
i thought f12 was the standard for such things
13:46
<yemu>
ok, everything seems fine
13:46
<johnny>
f8 is usually used as the second X screen, another defacto standard since ages gone by
13:47
<yemu>
thinclients reboot ok

johnny, if I switch to NFS, are all clients log files stored on the server? E.g. /tmp/client1/Xorg.0.log etc?
13:49
<Lns>
yemu: So then follow the nbdswap directions and you should be golden
13:50
<yemu>
i did it, i get files created in tmp so I think it worked!

13:52
<_UsUrPeR_>
hey all. having some problems with SCREEN_7=rdesktop. Changing the SCREEN_7 does not appear to execute anything pertaining to rdesktop. here's my lts.conf: http://pastebot.ltsp.org/69
13:52
there is no mention of rdesktop while tailing messages or syslog :/
13:53
<johnny>
SCREEN_07
13:53
<Lns>
heh
13:53
<johnny>
leading zero..
13:54
<alkisg>
_UsUrPeR_, I think (besides the zero) you also need RDP_SERVER
13:54
<johnny>
alkisg, not Xorg.0.log.. but others can be.. if you set the remote syslog var
13:54
<Lns>
wham-bam-nbdswap-thankyoumaam
13:54
<johnny>
i don't know if there's a way to log xorg to syslog
13:54
i could be wrong tho
13:54
<alkisg>
johnny thanks, I'll try it when I get the chance
13:55
<_UsUrPeR_>
johnny: my bad. I have the 07 in there already
13:55
<johnny>
Lns, you not want to include the specific documentation for lts.conf directly in your wiki
13:56
<_UsUrPeR_>
but I will check the rdp_server thing
13:56
<johnny>
unless we remove it from the src
13:56
it'd prolly be best to link or embed the docs directly from bzr
13:56
based on the revisions that various distros released with
13:57
<alkisg>
wasn't there an lts.conf editor gui application?
13:57
<johnny>
alkisg, for suse
13:57
easyltsp
13:57
<Lns>
johnny: it's not my wiki :p
13:57
<johnny>
Lns, so?
13:57
whatever
13:57
<alkisg>
Oh... maybe I'll try to make one in the summer! :P
13:57
<johnny>
it's part yours :)
13:58
<Lns>
johnny: what do you mean btw? where?
13:58
<johnny>
huh?
13:58
<Lns>
johnny: what specific documentation for lts.conf
13:59
<johnny>
what's in lts-parameters.txt
14:00
<Lns>
johnny: are you talking about the Ubuntu wiki or the LNS wiki?
14:00
<johnny>
the upstream documentation i was hoping
14:00
<alkisg>
I think an easy and helpful thing to do would be to provide a default lts.conf with ALL directives included but commented out...
14:01
(in ltsp-server package)
14:01
<Lns>
johnny: I have no clue what you're talking about now.
14:01
url me
14:04
<Nubae>
hi Lns
14:04
<johnny>
uhmm.. in the topic
14:04
<Lns>
hey Nubae
14:04
<johnny>
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
14:04
<Nubae>
hi johnny, alkisg
14:04
<alkisg>
Hi Nubae!
14:04
<Lns>
Nubae: I wanna talk with you re: fatclient setup sometime soon
14:04
is your wiki page up to date for that install?
14:04
<Nubae>
johnny: yeah, I've been putting off pushing the latest docs, I added some missing lts.conf variables
14:05
Ill see if I can push today
14:05
<johnny>
Nubae, wouldn't it be better to embed the one directly from bzr?
14:05
<Lns>
johnny: I'm not sure who put my docs in the upstream documentation...
14:05
<Nubae>
johnny: thats the one Im working on
14:05
Lns: that would be me
14:05
<Lns>
that's right
14:05
<johnny>
then you can link specific revisions of lts-parameters.txt per distro release
14:05* Lns points the finger at Nubae
14:06ogra has joined #ltsp
14:06
<johnny>
Lns, i thought you were working with nubae and sbalneav on that
14:06
that way.. the trunk can stay trunk.. but you can still see the state of the lts-parameters.txt per the versions released in each distro
14:06
<Nubae>
Lns: is more responsible for the wiki stuff, which got a major update after he touched it :p
14:06
<Lns>
johnny: Kindof..I haven't messed with any "official" documentation yet, but some of my personal docs have found their way in there
14:06cosf has joined #ltsp
14:07
<Nubae>
johnny: thats the way it is right now... seperate lts.conf file
14:07
<Lns>
yeah..i mostly work on the ubuntu ltsp wiki now
14:07
<johnny>
silllyness
14:07

14:07
<Nubae>
burn who?
14:08srini has joined #ltsp

<Nubae>
Lns: what did u want to know re: fatclient?
14:08
<srini>
hi
14:09
<Lns>
Nubae: well i was going to start testing this out at one of my sites..was wondering if the ubuntu wiki doc for this was totally up to date
14:09
<srini>
I need a clarification regarding the weblogic domain.. Can anybody help on this..?
14:09
<Lns>
Or if you've found easier methods for any of it
14:09
<Nubae>
Lns: it is, but I suggest using the plugin
14:10
<Lns>
Nubae: ok
14:10
<Nubae>
Asmo tested it for hardy and I believe it worked
14:10
<Lns>
thx
14:10
awesome..although i'm sure there's no better way, kinda sucks to (re)enable nfs for homedirs..of course i'm sure that's the best way to do it
14:10
<Nubae>
if u need help with ldap or whatever, install the plugin first, and then take a look at the ldap bits in the wiki
14:10
Lns: it could be done via sshfs, but there are problems keeping the sockets open
14:11
<Lns>
Nubae: yeah, i was wondering about that and/or some sort of rsync thing, but that'd probably be real ugly
14:11
<Nubae>
another possibility is kerberos + nfs4
14:11
but do u really need encryption?
14:11
rsync = definitely ugly
14:12mccann has quit IRC
14:12
<Lns>
Nubae: well encryption will be nice for those who don't use LDM_DIRECTX
14:12
has anyone ever done nfs over ssh?
14:12
is that even possible?
14:13
<Nubae>
Id imagine that is like sshfs, heh or nfs4
14:13* Lns doesn't know a WHOLE lot about nfs
14:14
<Nubae>
if u use ssh, there is no point in using nfs... it already does the file sharing with sshfs

cool stuff, never used ACLs before
14:41
cept in squid :-)
14:42
<Lns>
Nubae: it's so nice in educational environments
14:42
it took me a bit to get used to them, but it's real easy
14:43
<Nubae>
I'll have to experiment with that
14:43
always fun to discover something new
14:43
<Lns>
yup
14:44
<johnny>
except there's still no standard across distros on that
14:44
and no set policy on ubuntu
14:45
<Lns>
johnny: what do you mean no standard across distros?
14:46
<johnny>
no acl system is default across desktop oriented distros
14:47
<Lns>
johnny: What do you mean "default" ? Installed/activated by default? ACLs are a kernel module IIRC, should be pretty much standard across anything
14:48
posix anyway
14:48
<johnny>
not necessarily installed
14:48
and obviously i see an apt-get install in your documentation
14:48
c'mon.. don't pretend that's standard
14:48
or default
14:49
<Lns>
johnny: ok, i wasn't sure what you meant by "standard"/"default"
14:49
I thought you meant the mechanism itself
14:49
<johnny>
there are about 4 different mechanisms
14:49
more than 1 is in the kernel
14:50
and none are enabled by default
14:50
it's still the same old octal permissions for most
14:50
<Nubae>
well it is in the Ubuntu LTSP docos...
14:51
<johnny>
just wait until one is chosen.. and all their nice config goes out the window :)
14:51
<Nubae>
yeah well, we had to put up with that with network damager
14:51
<Lns>
johnny: variety is the spice of life!
14:53
<johnny>
i'm soured on that, after being involved in web development where 10 different modules for a cms do the same thing
14:53
but each fails in different ways
14:54
<Lns>
johnny: well I'd hope ACLs are a bit more tried and true than your cms ventures
14:54
You're always going to have cruft to sift through, but that's even better than having nothing at all..you can at least put your motivation behind the one you like the most and get it more stable
14:54
<johnny>
you're probably wrong :)
14:54
<Lns>
lol
14:55* Lns thanks johnny for being the ultimate pessimist ;)
14:55
<Nubae>
yet he likes network manager :p
14:55
<johnny>
yeah.. networkmanager is awesome
14:56
standardized in all the desktop oriented distros
14:56
<Nubae>
but it wasnt
14:56
<johnny>
now we jsut have to make it do everything the original systems did
14:56
<Lns>
lol
14:56
<johnny>
which is close
14:56
and then i won't have to learn five different ways to enable a network device :)
14:56
Nubae, it wasn't?
14:56
it's on suse, ubuntu, fedora
14:56
<Nubae>
note the past tense
14:56
<Lns>
johnny: networkdamager changed everything...and broke compatibility with the standard way of bringing up/down network adapters
14:57
<Nubae>
right!
14:57
<johnny>
that wasn't standard!
14:57
that was the debian/ubuntu way
14:57
not what i call standard :)
14:57
<Lns>
ifconfig isn't a standard?
14:57
<johnny>
actually iproute2 is the standard
14:57
yet you're using ifconfig
14:57
lol
14:57* Lns gives up the fight
14:57
<johnny>
what you call the standard.. isn't
14:58
it's just the de facto standard
14:58
<Nubae>
well... the point is, people are making t-shirts that say, I invented NM on one side and kill me on the other :p
14:58
<Lns>
well, that's standard enough for me... if it works on Linux, Solaris and others (and microsoft imitates it with 'ipconfig') then it's standard enough =p
14:58
<johnny>
my life became 100x times simpler now that i can point and click and enable everything... it just sucked that i lacked a cli way
14:59
but now that exists too
14:59
<Lns>
johnny: where?
14:59
<johnny>
nm-tool, cnetworkmanager
14:59
<Nubae>
yeah, and if u have a dhcp server? then what?
14:59
<johnny>
Nubae, on your desktop?
15:00
<Nubae>
hey, its installed standard on servers
15:00
<johnny>
Nubae, i still think the ifconfig and the like are better on the server
15:00
atm
15:00
<Nubae>
right, but NM is standard on servers
15:00
thats what Im upset about
15:00
<johnny>
Nubae, you tried intrepid yet?
15:00
<Nubae>
yes
15:00
<johnny>
ok.. maybe it happened too late
15:00
<Nubae>
been on it since alpha 6
15:00
<johnny>
maybe it was too late for feature freeze
15:00
<Nubae>
its still screwed
15:01
<johnny>
but it actually integrates with /etc/network/interfaces in some fashion now
15:01
and allows to "adopt"
15:01
<kc8pxy>
i just installed ltsp on my ubuntu hardy amd64 desktop. once i have a client image built, is there anythign i need to do to bring the ltsp server to life?
15:01
<Nubae>
yeah either u turn it off (unmanaged) or NM takes everything over managed
15:01
<Lns>
Has Debian standardized on nm for the server as well?
15:01
<Nubae>
and dhcp stops working
15:01
<johnny>
Lns, doubtful
15:01* Lns wipes his brow
15:02
<Nubae>
hey Im all for standards... but make it work
15:02
<johnny>
Lns, my opinion is that networkmanager was adopted a bit too early
15:02six2one has quit IRC
15:02
<johnny>
Lns, there were only like 3 developers ever working on it anyways afaict
15:02
<Lns>
kc8pxy: depends on how you installed ltsp.. probably not though
15:03
<Nubae>
NM has constant discussion on ubuntu-devel
15:03
<Lns>
johnny: yikes. Yeah, I agree - definitely adopted too early..along with FF3 beta. But I'm not gonna start a flamewar on all of this =p
15:03
<johnny>
Lns, it would have been nice to have the major distros actually hire folsk to work on upstream projects of such importance
15:03
instead of saddling their users with the issues in the meantime
15:03
<Nubae>
right
15:04
<johnny>
Nubae, i hear just as bad issues with session saving and user switching with upstream gnome
15:04
<Lns>
I can vouch for the session saving issues AND user switching
15:04
both are horribly broken, especially user switching in LTSP environments..just...doesn't...work...
15:05
<johnny>
well canonical has just recently decided to hire folks to do some upstream work
15:05cliebow has quit IRC
15:05
<Lns>
and that damn user switch applet takes FOREVER on any multiuser system
15:05
<sbalneav>
Here's the root of the problem.
15:05
<johnny>
Lns, you should probably read about what happened at the linux plumbers conference
15:05
there was even talk about providing a base image with all the stuff.. and then distros use that to base on
15:06
<sbalneav>
All of these applications (NM, Dbus, Consolekit, user switching applet) are written from the point of view of the single user desktop
15:06
<johnny>
not sure that'll go anywhere.. due to all the crusty old geeks around tho
15:06banain has joined #ltsp
15:06
<johnny>
sbalneav, what you say contradicts the need for consolekit :)
15:06
lol
15:06
<sbalneav>
All of these apps work not bad IFF you've got 1 user sitting at one console at a time.
15:06
<johnny>
that was actually in the original dsicussion!
15:06
it just didn't work out right
15:07
consolekit was for multiseat originallY!
15:07
<Nubae>
sbalneav: yeah agreed, Im sure non server people dont complain so much
15:07
<Lns>
sbalneav is right IMO. It really sucks to see all this work going to single-user scenarios ONLY. Devs need to pay more attention to the roots of Linux/*nix
15:07
<johnny>
it was the reason for its invention!
15:07
consolekit is pointless withtout the idea of multiseat
15:07
<sbalneav>
What's happened is, Linux is slowly drifting away from it's unix multiuser roots, and becoming more and more like windows, insofar as 1 user at at time per machine is the norm.
15:08
<johnny>
sbalneav, i couldn't disagree more
15:08bananin has quit IRC
15:08banain is now known as bananin
15:08
<Nubae>
theres still plenty of terminal service going on
15:08
<johnny>
what i saw happen.. was just people running out of time
15:08
<Lns>
sbalneav: I'd say Gnome and friends have, maybe not Linux in general
15:08
<dberkholz>
i tend to agree with that, actually.
15:08
multiseat is just another use case instead of the typical case
15:09
<johnny>
and they focused on the 1 user thing cuz it was most important
15:09
to have working
15:09
<Nubae>
right
15:09
agree
15:09
multi user stuff is always put on the back burner
15:09
<johnny>
Nubae, this is where 6 month release cycles bite
15:09
<Nubae>
check all the SDL apps
15:09
cant use them on a multi user system
15:10
<kc8pxy>
johnny: why is that bad?
15:10
<Lns>
I think that's all going to shift over time though.. LTSP and alike projects are going to be in the spotlight a lot more now that "going green" is a household term
15:10
<Nubae>
and no one will do shit about it
15:10
<johnny>
certain changes require a bit longer to marinate
15:10
Nubae, put your money where your mouth is :)
15:10
<Nubae>
johnny: hey I help plenty with what I can :p
15:10
<johnny>
if we all paid into a fund to hire developers who focused on these issues and who could work directly with upstream
15:10
<Lns>
Nubae: actually i've seen a lot of effort to making tuxtype/paint/etc work better in LTSP
15:10
<johnny>
we'd have what we wanted
15:11
<Nubae>
Lns: really? where?
15:11
<Lns>
lemme dig up the bugs
15:11
<johnny>
he has who has the gold.. makes the rules..
15:11
and that is what happened
15:11
<Lns>
Nubae: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tuxpaint/+bug/269082
15:11
<Nubae>
yeah I reported that bug... from what Ive read debian set it to fixed
15:12
<johnny>
oh.. and he who has the most commented bug reports too :)
15:12
when the users get really up in arms about something..
15:12
<Lns>
johnny: gold isnt the issue i think.. it's momentum that will change things in the OSS world

you can buy an entire pc for not much over a thin clinet
15:14
Lns, perhaps some day.. you could hire me in trade for some thin clients..

15:14
<Lns>

15:14

Lns, i doubt that will do local apps

and Ive been following that from the beginning :p
15:15
<Lns>
johnny: that wasn't your argument before =p
15:15
<Nubae>
but we did what we could... lots of people commented
15:15
<Lns>
Nubae: It was fixed in debian, ubuntu probably just needs to pull it down
15:15
<johnny>
a tiny box with 512mb of ram and 700mhz proc and onboard video SHOULD NOT COST $200
15:15
<Nubae>
how was it fixed in Debian?
15:15
where do u see that?
15:15
<johnny>
or more even..
15:16
<Lns>
Nubae: see the triaged bug
15:16
johnny: it's the size that's causing higher costs
15:16
<Nubae>
i see the fix released comment, it was just changed from undecided to fix released without an actual fix release
15:16
thts my point
15:17
<johnny>
Lns, give me something with the demensions of a standard laptop but thicker.. and i'd be happy :)
15:17
it doesn't have to hard drive or keyboard or optical
15:17
or batter
15:17
you'd think you could get something like that in the $150
15:17
range
15:17
<Nubae>
Filing a bug to find out whether its a bug is not the right thing, sorry. Filing bugs in Debian is of course a good thing, but see above :) Making mistakes is also a good thing, _if_ this causes lessons to be learned. If this happens, I'm very happy about mistakes ;-)
15:17
that is the debian fix
15:18
theysaid it was SDL related and as such was not a debian bug
15:18
<Lns>
Nubae: ah...so they're just confused
15:18
<Nubae>
I've given up on it...
15:18
<Lns>
Nubae: well upstream knows about it, maybe we need to squeak the wheels a bit more
15:19bananin has quit IRC

You speak of ubuntu ltsp, of ubuntu sdl and ubuntu tux*. This bug might affect debian or might not. Please confirm it does, before filing bugs against debian packages.

<alkisg>
Wow... I've been trying for months to send some patches to ipconfig to make LTSP work in 2 dhcp server environments (in 68 port), and I just found out that all I needed to do was add "IPAPPEND 1" to pxelinux.cfg/default!!! :(
15:32
Has anyone tried that before? I just tried it, and it passes ipconfig the same IP that was used during the pxe phase!
15:33
So only 1 dhcp request is made... I wonder why we don't use that be default
15:33
*by
15:34
<Lns>
alkisg: do you mean it keeps the ORIGINAL lease or just gets the same IP in a 2nd lease request?
15:34
oh
15:34
<alkisg>
Lns, there are no leases, there's no daemon running
15:34
<Lns>
heh.. i need to read everything
15:34
<alkisg>
But it gets the same ip
15:34
Ehm, I mean that we ignore any lease times :)
15:35
<Lns>
wait
15:35
<alkisg>
ipconfig runs just once. dhclients stays as a daemon, to ask for a renewal before leases expire
15:35
*dhclient
15:37
<Lns>
ok
15:38
<sbalneav>
What would be a use case for having 2 dhcp servers running?
15:38cosf has quit IRC
15:38
<vagrantc>
to extract information from terrorists
15:38
<alkisg>
sbalneav, in most schools in my country, there's a router/dhcp server for windows PCs, and if we want ltsp, we have to have a second ltsp/dhcp server
15:38
<vagrantc>
"talk, or we'll put up a THIRD dhcp server!"
15:39
<alkisg>
heh
15:39
OK, we're just trying to save money... :)
15:39
We could give 400€ and buy a descent router, or always keep the ltsp server running
15:39
<sbalneav>
So, either have the ltsp box handle both, or, simply isolate the thin clients on their own subnet
15:40
<alkisg>
sbalneav, that would require money for another switch! :)
15:40
<Lns>
or configure your router for pxe booting clients as well...i use IPCop and it's easy enough to do on that
15:40
<alkisg>
Well, now everything's easy, all that's needed are some lines in pxelinux.cfg/default and in dhcpd.conf
15:41
Lns, the routers are very cheap, non configurable
15:41
<Lns>
alkisg: gotcha
15:41pmatulis_t60 has quit IRC
15:41* Lns remembers this conversation, oddly enough
15:41
<sbalneav>
Well, you must have SOME money, you've got an LTSP server and clients, how much is 1 extra switch?
15:41
<alkisg>
Well, I'm happy! :P Adding some lines is the cheapest solution!!! :)
15:42
<sbalneav>
Anyway, good fo you
15:42
<alkisg>
sbalneav, I had to wait for 2 months to get 2 mice... don't get me started!!!
15:42
<sbalneav>
but I don't think it should be a default.
15:42bananin has quit IRC
15:42
<alkisg>
sbalneav, why not? Can you think of any case where you would want a *different* IP? (pxe / ipconfig)
15:44
<vagrantc>
the pxelinux documentation recommends against using it ... (for some unknown reason)
15:44
<alkisg>
uh... let me see... (you have any url?)
15:44
<vagrantc>
IPAPPEND ?
15:45
<alkisg>
OK, I saw it.
15:45
It says that we have to use dhclient, but we're not to save memory
15:45
<vagrantc>
/usr/share/doc/syslinux/syslinux.txt.gz
15:46
although "IPAPPEND 2" sounds like a *really* good idea.
15:46
<alkisg>
There's also IPAPPEND 3, which combines them
15:47
<vagrantc>
wow
15:48
<alkisg>
I really can't see any reason to ask for a second lease, since we're not respecting lease times anyway.
15:48
<vagrantc>
i tend to agree.
15:48
<alkisg>
But my problems are solved with just some line editing, so I don't mind!!! :)
15:49
<vagrantc>
i actually got some patches to initramfs-tools to make IPAPPEND work a couple years back :)
15:50
got some patches into
15:50
<alkisg>
with IPOPTS, I know, I was very glad to find out!!!

<long go story to follow>
21:33
So, years ago, on my first trip to San Fransisco, I visited the Go club there.
21:33
Met an interesting variety of characters.
21:34
Met Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari
21:34
And yes, that's where he got the name from. He was a 3 dan player at that time.
21:34
Played several games with a homeless vietnam vet who learned the game overseas.
21:35
And about 5 games with a "Mr. Ishiki" or "Ishiri" or something like that...
21:35
Kindly old japanese man in his 80's
21:35
No matter how I played, what I did, he'd always beat me by 1 point. Exactly.
21:36

So, turns out this nice old guy's like a 9 dan go player, and basically, he can literally manipulate all the sente's to the point where he can always just beat you by one point
21:37
because beating you by more he considered as "impolite".
21:38
He had some of the most awsome moves I'd ever seen.
21:38
Anyway: great game.

it was considered that the mobie images should become official in intrepid ... so the build and publishing system needed to be changed
22:31
i'm working since 10am yesterday
22:32
<stgraber>
Sounds like release week :)
22:32
<ogra>
not even that
22:32
its the one before
22:33* ogra is scared of the weekend
22:34
<stgraber>
well at least looking at the number of fix that were included last-minute in RC, the delta between RC and final should be low so we shouldn't have any major issue with final (/me has bad memories of some unionfs issue a while ago ...)
22:34
<ogra>
yeah
22:34
well, i have a good bunch of stuff
22:34
and the madwifi situation is still open

ogra, how about the session saving bug in gnome-session
22:34
<stgraber>
hmm, the madwifi vs ath5k thing ?
22:35
<johnny>
is that a big deal for you guys?
22:35
<ogra>
stgraber, right
22:35
johnny, ?
22:35
<stgraber>
johnny: we don't have session saving turned on by default so I haven't seen any problem myself
22:35
<ogra>
session saving bug ?
22:36
we dont even use the session dialogs anymore
22:36
<jammcq>
hey kids
22:37
<johnny>
don't use em?
22:37
do you remove it from the menu or something?
22:37
<ogra>
from the panel
22:38
ubuntu uses a hacked up fusa for logout/power management/screen locking etc
22:38
<johnny>
no.. not that.. i mean under Preferences | Sessions
22:39
i know a lot of folks who are upset about that
22:39
<ogra>
what is with it ?
22:39
<johnny>
you can't choose to save your sessions, it's a regression
22:39
<ogra>
"Remember Currently Running Applications" is the button i see
22:39
<stgraber>
johnny: Options tab: Automatically remember running applications when logging out ?
22:39
<ogra>
and a checkbox above
22:40
<stgraber>
we have that, I don't use it (I don't like session saving) but at least it's there
22:40
<ogra>
no regression here
22:40
<johnny>
guess your folks fixed it :)
