| 02:03 | <kwak_> hi again. i wanna try ubuntu for LTSP server, can I use xubuntu?
| |
| 02:04 | <Ryan52> kwak_: it doesn't matter what window manager you use. ltsp works with whatever.
| |
| 02:06 | <kwak_> Ryan52: thanks for the input. thought of XFCE might lessen resource usage compared to gnome.

| 04:50 | <alkisg> Hi, a DNS related question: If I specify HOSTNAME=client01 in lts.conf, then the TC gets this hostname, notifies my DNS server (=ltsp server) and so I can e.g. ping client01 from the server, right?
| |
| 04:52 | 1st problem, HOSTNAME=client01 in lts.conf doesn't get transferred to the client, the client is still named "ltsp"...
| |
| 04:54 | !lts.conf
| |
| 04:54 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "lts.conf" is http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtsConf

| 06:21 | <alkisg> In /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/<mac address> I pass HOSTNAME=xxxx parameter to the kernel, to specify the client hostname. But the hostname doesn't change, it's still "ltsp".
| |
| 06:22 | I tried break=mount, hostname is there. But with break=bottom, HOSTNAME=''. So the mount scripts delete the hostname... is this a bug?
| |
| 06:23 | <Nubae> y dont u set the hostname through /etc/hosts
| |
| 06:23 | <alkisg> Nubae, the client hostname? It should be in /etc/hostname, right?
| |
| 06:23 | Ah, I see what you mean. I don't know the IP of the client
| |
| 06:23 | Only it's mac address
| |
| 06:24 | <Nubae> then attach the ip to its mac address via dhcpd.conf
| |
| 06:25 | sorry hostname to mac address
| |
| 06:25 | <alkisg> Nubae, I don't have control over the dhcp server, that's the main problem
| |
| 06:25 | <Nubae> ah
| |
| 06:25 | <alkisg> But what I'm trying should work, no?
| |
| 06:27 | <Nubae> hmmm, do u know the range of ips u'll be given?
| |
| 06:27 | <alkisg> Yes, 10.160.82.129 to 200 (=>8 clients)
| |
| 06:28 | <Nubae> so write a script that gives out hostnames to all 8 clients, ws1, ws2, and so on to /etc/hosts
| |
| 06:29 | ah wait, but u still need use-host-declarations; in dhcpd.conf
| |
| 06:29 | <alkisg> ...and also there are 70 possible IPs and only 8 clients... :(
| |
| 06:30 | <Nubae> hmm, interesting little problem u have there :-)
| |
| 06:30 | <alkisg> Nubae, if what I'm trying should work, and the hostname not working is a but, I can try to debug it,
| |
| 06:30 | I just wanted to make sure that it's a valid workaround
| |
| 06:30 | *bug
| |
| 06:31 | <Nubae> I'm not sure... the issue as I see it is that u dont control the dhcp server listening to your host requests
| |
| 06:31 | <alkisg> OK, but in theory a PC can declare its own hostname, right?
| |
| 06:31 | <Nubae> if the dhcp server is set to accept that yes
| |
| 06:31 | <alkisg> Even if it's a thin client and the hostname gets passed as a parameter to the kernel
| |
| 06:32 | <Nubae> u're doing everything right on the client, it seems to me that the server ignores your request
| |
| 06:32 | <alkisg> Oh... the client should notify the dhcp server of its hostname?
| |
| 06:32 | <Nubae> sure
| |
| 06:32 | <alkisg> Not the dns server? :)
| |
| 06:32 | (I do have control over the dns server)
| |
| 06:32 | (weird indeed! :P)
| |
| 06:33 | <Nubae> yeah its a brain teaser... I wonder which has priority
| |
| 06:33 | <alkisg> What if a client has a static IP (and of course hostname). How does it notify the DNS server?
| |
| 06:34 | I can pass static ips to the clients with ip=x:x:x:x:x in the kernel
| |
| 06:34 | <Nubae> well, where does it get its static ip from, the dns server?
| |
| 06:34 | or /etc/hosts
| |
| 06:34 | <alkisg> IPAPPEND 1 in pxelinux.cfg/<mac address>
| |
| 06:34 | So static = in the mac address named file
| |
| 06:34 | <Nubae> ok... but then the dns or dhcp server probably overwrite that
| |
| 06:35 | <alkisg> Sorry, not IPAPPEND, ip=x:x:x:x
| |
| 06:35 | No, ipconfig then uses a static ip, no dhcp request is made
| |
| 06:35 | But I was talking in general, *any* client that has a static IP, how does it notify the dns server?
| |
| 06:35 | (not specificaly thin client)
| |
| 06:36 | <Nubae> u've looked at google?
| |
| 06:36 | <alkisg> About the hostname bug, yes, I found some other bugs but not the one I'm talking about
| |
| 06:38 | <Nubae> I thought the dns server notifies the client, not the other way round
| |
| 06:38 | http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7111325-0-large.jpg
| |
| 06:38 | maybe that helps
| |
| 06:39 | <alkisg> I think there are some arp requests that take care of that, and it's why avahi daemon is there...
| |
| 06:39 | <Nubae> well avahi talks directly to clients between each other
| |
| 06:40 | but I'm no expert in this field
| |
| 06:41 | <alkisg> Me neither... Anyway, I'll try some debugging, and if I can't do it this way I'll just use static IPs and put a /etc/hosts file in the server and in the chroot... Thanks, Nubae.

| 07:00 | <alkisg> Nubae, I guess "dynamic DNS" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS) is what I was talking about... I don't know if and how it's supported on Linux, though. OK, I found my way, time for reading! :)
| |
| 07:00 | <Nubae> it is supported yes
| |
| 07:01 | dont think its installed by default in ltsp though

| 07:30 | <ogra> Blinny, dont we all ?
| |
| 07:33 | <Nubae> yeah the best undiscovered secret
| |
| 07:35 | <alkisg> ogra, the HOSTNAME=xxx kernel parameter gets deleted in /initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-bottom, would you be interested in a patch?
| |
| 07:35 | <ogra> alkisg, i think if you change that it breaks dhcp client hostnames or some such, there was a debian bug about it
| |
| 07:36 | <alkisg> I saw it, let me read it again... thanks
| |
| 07:36 | otavio has quit IRC | |
| 07:36 | dmaran has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:37 | <ogra> i'm sure if someone comes up with a proper solution to that old prob we'll all be happy though, but iirc it was only an "either or" way you could fix it
| |
| 07:39 | <alkisg> ogra, I thought it was about the /etc/hostname file (it should be empty), but I'll read it again
| |
| 07:39 | <ogra> well, thats the root cause, yes
| |
| 07:40 | <alkisg> This one, right? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418142
| |
| 07:40 | I'm talking about the HOSTNAME kernel parameter, so if it is set, we should use it
| |
| 07:41 | <Nubae> so ubuntu 8.10 is supposed to be slower than its pedecessors: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_bench_2008&num=1

| 07:45 | <alkisg> ogra, OK, I've read that too, I don't think respecting the kernel parameter will break anything... Let me post in ltspbot a modified version of nfs_bottom/ltsp in a few minutes...
| |
| 07:46 | cosf__ has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:46 | <ogra> alkisg, you dont seem to understand, the kernel parameter will only be used if the file doesn exist in which case the default behaivior breaks
| |

| 07:46 | jarias__ is now known as jarias | |
| 07:47 | <alkisg> ogra, ahm... I'll be used by the kernel, right? But what if we echo $HOSTNAME > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname, if HOSTNAME is set?
| |
| 07:47 | <ogra> the only sane approach seems to be a plugin which puts an option for ltsp-build-client into place to not have that file there
| |
| 07:47 | the system will still ignore whatever you echo into sys
| |
| 07:47 | <alkisg> ogra, I tried it and in worked, I saw the name in the greeter
| |
| 07:48 | <ogra> if there is an /etc/hostname file that will be used regardless
| |
| 07:50 | <alkisg> ogra, thanks, I'll try to understand how all this works.
| |
| 07:50 | cosf has quit IRC | |
| 07:50 | <ogra> i think the bug sums it up properly
| |
| 07:50 | cosf__ is now known as cosf | |
| 07:50 | <ogra> though its very old, it might have changed
| |
| 07:51 | <alkisg> ogra, I only echoed the HOSTNAME in /proc/sys/kernel/hostname in the end of nfs-bottom/ltsp and it worked fine,
| |
| 07:51 | jarias_ has quit IRC | |
| 07:51 | <ogra> but in any case i'd prefer to fix the cause for teh distro instead of working around it in a special place only ltsp uses
| |
| 07:51 | <alkisg> it got in /etc/hostname and I saw it in the greeter and everything
| |
| 07:52 | <ogra> if that works, it should be fixed in initramfs-tools generally, not in the ltsp script
| |
| 07:53 | Nubae, its a known fact that dues to some decisions linus made the newer kernels are slower until some things are fixed
| |
| 07:53 | Nubae, they will find the same if they compare say FC7 to FC10
| |
| 07:53 | <alkisg> ogra, this is too deep for me! :) I saw that it works, I can modify a script, but I don't think I understand enough to do more... OK, I'll read the bugs extensively and do whatever tests I can.
| |
| 07:53 | <Nubae> yeah I figured that
| |
| 07:54 | but the general public is going to see it as being a ubuntu problem
| |
| 07:54 | unfortunately
| |
| 07:54 | <ogra> alkisg, first thing is probably to file a bug against initramfs-tools in debian or ubuntu and explain the prob and the solution ... (if there isnt one already)
| |
| 07:55 | <alkisg> ogra, ok, I'll do that (after reading the bugs and all), thanks

| 08:17 | <v-pro> what is the defaul x-session of ldm in Hardy. Should it use the .xsession file in the users home folder?
| |
| 08:20 | I now have this problem that the logging does not work without selecting a session on every login
| |
| 08:20 | which is quite annoying
| |
| 08:29 | <johnny> no
| |
| 08:29 | <v-pro> what then?
| |
| 08:30 | <johnny> there is a global default
| |
| 08:31 | <v-pro> so users can not make permanent changes?
| |
| 08:31 | <johnny> oh.. you want users to have a different one?
| |
| 08:31 | that's not your original question
| |
| 08:32 | jammcq has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:32 | <v-pro> well sort of as now it uses the default and does not change it
| |
| 08:32 | <ogra> the default xsession in ubuntu and debian systems is definaed by the x-session-manager alternative
| |
| 08:32 | ~/.xsession is able to override that
| |
| 08:33 | if you want to chnage it systemide, configure x-session-manager properly
| |
| 08:33 | if you want it per user create a ~/.xsession
| |
| 08:33 | <v-pro> ok, so it should use the .xsession in the home folders
| |
| 08:34 | maybe I have wrong syntax
| |
| 08:34 | <ogra> if you want it per thin client (note that is hardware bound to teh client), use lts.conf and the LDM_SESSION setting
| |
| 08:35 | well, in .xsession the ast command you start need to be the session manager and it cant be backgrounded (no & at the end of the line)
| |
| 08:35 | *last
| |
| 08:35 | <johnny> hello ogra :)
| |
| 08:35 | <ogra> hey
| |
| 08:36 | <v-pro> ogra: so one line "/usr/bin/gnome-session" for example should do?
| |
| 08:37 | <ogra> yes, likely
| |
| 08:37 | though that would be the default in ubuntu anyway
| |
| 08:37 | (unless you broke it deliberately indeed :) )
| |
| 08:37 | <v-pro> well now there is no default for some reason
| |
| 08:37 | <ogra> how did yu install ?
| |
| 08:38 | <v-pro> with aptitude and ltsp-server-standalone
| |
| 08:38 | <ogra> if oyu use the laternate CD like described in the howto it should all work out of the box

| 08:54 | <sbalneav> cliebow: Cool!
| |
| 08:55 | <alkisg> ogra, sorry for my ignorance, HOSTNAME=... *is not* a defined kernel command line parameter, so what I was asking for was actually a feature request, not a bug fix... :) Sorry for bothering you, a custom script was all I needed.
| |

| |
| 12:39 | <Nubae> hmm never ran across that

| |
| 12:49 | when i try to run ica in the client it says ISD-server could not be started because por 5800 is already in use
| |
| 12:50 | in the server im running italc server which use port 5800 for vnc-http
| |
| 12:51 | anyone knows which is the problem
| |
| 12:51 | <stgraber> berriop: is that Ubuntu ?
| |
| 12:52 | <berriop> yep ubuntu 8.04
| |
| 12:52 | <stgraber> with the PPA for iTalc then ?
| |
| 12:52 | <berriop> what do you mean by PPA?
| |
| 12:53 | <stgraber> where did you get italc 1.0.9 ?
| |
| 12:53 | <berriop> from http://ppa.launchpad.net/edubuntu-italc-devel/ubuntu
| |
| 12:54 | i intalled first v 1.0.7 and then i removed it and instaled v 1.0.9 from there
| |
| 12:54 | but the problem persists
| |
| 12:54 | <stgraber> ok, and you have START_ITALC=True in your lts.conf ?
| |
| 12:55 | <berriop> nope
| |
| 12:55 | sbalneav has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:55 | <stgraber> so that won't work then
| |
| 12:55 | <berriop> ooook
| |
| 12:56 | so i have to put START_ITALC=True in the ltsp.conf
| |
| 12:56 | <stgraber> lts.conf
| |
| 12:56 | /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
| |
| 12:56 | exodos has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:57 | <berriop> ok thanks
| |
| 12:57 | exodos has quit IRC | |
| 12:57 | <berriop> i have not a lts.conf there, should i create it?
| |
| 12:58 | <Lns> stgraber: is it possible for me to get access to the iTalc wiki page on help.ubuntu.com so i can add the section regarding putting it into LTSP, or do you want me to create a new page?
| |
| 12:59 | exodos has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:01 | alkisg has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:02 | <berriop> i have not a lts.conf in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf, should i create the file with just that entry?
| |
| 13:03 | <ogra> you need a header line as well
| |
| 13:03 | [default]
| |
| 13:03 | START_ITALC=True
| |
| 13:04 | thats how it should look like
| |
| 13:04 | <berriop> ok thanks, im reading the ltsp twiki
| |
| 13:04 | thanks ogra
| |
| 13:06 | <ogra> !docs
| |
| 13:06 | <ltspbot> ogra: "docs" is For the most current documentation, see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
| |
| 13:06 | <ogra> see that url
| |
| 13:10 | <berriop> ok I created the lts.conf file with that entry, restarted the client and in the server the italc says no user logged in
| |
| 13:11 | i try to start ica in the client and same error "ISD-server could not be started because por 5800 is already in use"
| |
| 13:13 | <ogra> did you check it doesnt run already ?
| |
| 13:13 | START_ITALC=True should exactly do that
| |
| 13:14 | <berriop> ok
| |
| 13:15 | yes it is running when i log in
| |
| 13:15 | but the italc server still says "No user logged in"
| |
| 13:16 | should i create new ica keys?
| |
| 13:16 | i am using the default ones
| |
| 13:17 | italc recognises when the computer is switched on but not when the user log in
| |
| 13:19 | in the client there are two ica processes, one in port 6027 and another in port 5924 and both of them below to the server user
| |
| 13:20 | i think the client didnt start the italc, even after creating the lts.conf file
| |
| 13:23 | <alkisg> berriop, what's your setup? i.e. you've installed italc to the chroot? (I suppose no). And you're running italc from the server or from a tc?
| |
| 13:24 | <berriop> nop i didnt installed to the chroot, im running italc from the server
| |
| 13:24 | first I installed v 10.0.7 and the i removed it and installed v 1.0.9
| |
| 13:25 | <alkisg> ok, and how did you declare the client? was it autodetected or you put it in?
| |
| 13:25 | <berriop> i put it in it
| |
| 13:25 | <alkisg> On which ip/port?
| |
| 13:26 | <berriop> i didnt enter any port
| |
| 13:26 | just the ipaddress of the client
| |
| 13:26 | <alkisg> E.g. if your client is 192.168.0.110, then you declare it as 127.0.0.1:10110
| |
| 13:26 | <berriop> ok
| |
| 13:27 | i declared it just as 10.0.0.240
| |
| 13:27 | <alkisg> Because it actually runs on the server, not on the ip of the client
| |
| 13:27 | <berriop> my client is 10.0.0.240 and my server 10.0.0.2
| |
| 13:27 | <alkisg> So declare it as 127.0.0.1:10240
| |
| 13:27 | K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:28 | <berriop> should i enter the mac address of the client?
| |
| 13:28 | <alkisg> I don't think so
| |
| 13:29 | <berriop> same, it says no user logged in
| |
| 13:30 | <alkisg> You may have to close and reopen the client window (inside italc)
| |
| 13:30 | Better yet, close italc and start it again
| |
| 13:30 | <berriop> ok
| |
| 13:30 | restarted
| |
| 13:31 | now i have both screens, and in both says no user logged in
| |
| 13:31 | Blinny has quit IRC | |
| 13:32 | <berriop> if i turn the client of the one with the 10.0.0.240 recognised it and it says "Host unreachable"
| |
| 13:33 | the one you told me the 127.0.0.1:10240 still says "User no logged in"
| |
| 13:33 | <alkisg> run this on a server console: ps aux | grep "ica" | grep -v grep | grep -v "rx11vs" | grep "isdport" | sed "s/.* -isdport //"
| |
| 13:33 | Blinny has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:33 | <berriop> 5800 -ivsport 5900
| |
| 13:34 | <alkisg> That's all? No 10240? Then ica wasn't started on the thin client...
| |
| 13:34 | Did you restart the server after you installed italc?
| |
| 13:35 | <berriop> but i created the lts.conf file with START_ITALC=True
| |
| 13:35 | <alkisg> (basically, you can do it without restarting, but I don't know how)
| |
| 13:35 | I think START_ITALC=True is for when you install italc to the chroot, but I might be wrong on this, haven't checked it.
| |
| 13:36 | <berriop> ok, so how can i start italc on the client manually
| |
| 13:36 | <ogra> it should start automatically on login actually
| |
| 13:36 | <alkisg> Uh, this I don't know. It's ica-launcher, but I don't know if you can run it as a simple user. Try it though.
| |
| 13:36 | <berriop> if i enter ica it says ISD-server could not be started because por 5800 is already in use
| |
| 13:37 | <ogra> you dont want to run ica
| |
| 13:37 | <berriop> but it doesnt start automatically
| |
| 13:37 | <ogra> you want ica-launcher beong started as a session service on user login
| |
| 13:37 | *being
| |
| 13:38 | <berriop> ok, but the lts.conf doesnt seems to work then
| |
| 13:38 | <ogra> lts.conf only applies to stuff directly on the clinet
| |
| 13:38 | cosf has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:38 | <berriop> do i have to do ltsp-update-image after create lts.conf??
| |
| 13:38 | <ogra> if you have italc-client installed on the server it should just start
| |
| 13:39 | no, no need for ltsp-update-image
| |
| 13:39 | <berriop> ok, so why ica doesnt start on the client??
| |
| 13:39 | Basti_dash has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:40 | <alkisg> ogra, I think that after installation I had to restart the server to be able to see the clients. It didn't work without restart (and I didn't know how to start it manually).
| |
| 13:40 | <berriop> okok i will restart the server
| |
| 13:40 | <ogra> might be that you need to do that for the ssh keys to take effect, yes
| |
| 13:40 | <berriop> b back in a min

| |
| 13:45 | no user logged in
| |
| 13:45 | <alkisg> and? still nothing?
| |
| 13:45 | <berriop> nothing
| |
| 13:45 | i think the problem is with the ica in the client
| |
| 13:45 | <alkisg> can you give this again? ps aux | grep "ica" | grep -v grep | grep -v "rx11vs" | grep "isdport" | sed "s/.* -isdport //"
| |
| 13:46 | <berriop> same 5800 -ivsport 5900
| |
| 13:46 | <alkisg> Yeap, not started...
| |
| 13:47 | Any error messages when you logged on the client?
| |
| 13:47 | <ogra> what happens if you start ica-launcher in a gnome-terminal from a client ?
| |
| 13:47 | <berriop> ooooooook
| |
| 13:47 | :)
| |
| 13:47 | now
| |
| 13:48 | so the problem is with the lts.conf
| |
| 13:48 | why it doesn't work?
| |
| 13:48 | <alkisg> You don't need to put anything in lts.conf if you don't install it on the chroot
| |
| 13:48 | <ogra> it doesnt apply to the server
| |
| 13:48 | <berriop> should i put the ica-launcher in the sessions menu?
| |
| 13:48 | <ogra> right
| |
| 13:48 | <alkisg> No, try it manually like this:
| |
| 13:48 | <ogra> system->settings->sessions
| |
| 13:48 | <berriop> ok
| |
| 13:49 | <alkisg> ica -noshm -isdport 11240 -ivsport 10240
| |
| 13:49 | <ogra> add it there as a service
| |
| 13:49 | <berriop> ok
| |
| 13:49 | thanks very much
| |
| 13:49 | <alkisg> and this: /usr/bin/ica -rx11vs -noshm -nosel -nosetclipboard -rfbport 10240 -rx11vs -isdport 11240 -role other
| |
| 13:49 | ogra, these parameters will be automatically given?
| |
| 13:50 | uh, right, ica-launcher
| |
| 13:50 | <ogra> alkisg, they once were but i dont know what stgraber changed since i tested it last ... it also used to start automatically for me
| |
| 13:51 | <alkisg> ica-launcher detects whether it runs on the server or in the chroot and it puts the neseccary parameters
| |
| 13:51 | * ogra calls it a day | |
| 13:52 | <alkisg> ogra, bye...!
| |
| 13:52 | <berriop> should i update the ltsp section in the ubuntu wiki?? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iTalc
| |
| 13:53 | with the steps i followed?
| |
| 13:53 | <ogra> alkisg, bye :)
| |
| 13:53 | Lns, the Flash doc isnt accurate for intrepid ... no libflashsupport anymore ...
| |
| 13:54 | <alkisg> berriop, no, it's supposed to start automatically (e.g. in my server I didn't have to do anything)
| |
| 13:54 | <ogra> (flash 10 can work without it ... please note that libflashsupport is a hardy and gutsy thing only)
| |
| 13:54 | <berriop> ok
| |
| 13:54 | <ogra> anyway, really gone now
| |
| 13:54 | <Lns> ogra: ok
| |
| 13:55 | <sbalneav> hey all, quicky question
| |
| 13:55 | So, on the update-manager, when you look at a package, it tells you what bugs it's fixing.
| |
| 13:55 | Any way to get that information from the command line?
| |
| 13:55 | <ogra> well, if the packager did a proper changelog entry
| |
| 13:56 | its only showing the changelog
| |
| 13:56 | <sbalneav> right, so how do I see that

| |
| 15:19 | <sbalneav> Is the fuse mount there?
| |
| 15:19 | Can you copy from the drive
| |
| 15:19 | <Lns> sbalneav: yes and yes...interestingly enough, creating a new file in the chroot tty works fine
| |
| 15:20 | although when pulling the drive, a bunch of "Buffer I/O error" msgs come up
| |
| 15:20 | is that normal?
| |
| 15:20 | (I'm using hardy)
| |
| 15:21 | <sbalneav> This a USB hard drive?

| |
| 15:32 | <Lns> ltsp chroots don't have ntfs f/s support by default do they?
| |
| 15:33 | hmm, seems to, but it's not showing up when plugging into a TC
| |
| 15:33 | manually mounting works
| |
| 15:35 | Lns has quit IRC | |
| 15:35 | <_UsUrPeR_> moo as in master of orion?
| |
| 15:37 | Lns has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:38 | <Lns> hmm, my brand new 500GB USB HDD (just formatted w/ntfs fs) isn't popping up on my TC.
| |
| 15:39 | <_UsUrPeR_> lns: is it not mounting, or just not showing on the desktop?
| |
| 15:40 | <Lns> _UsUrPeR_: not mounting
| |
| 15:40 | <_UsUrPeR_> I had a problem with that in ubuntu as well originally...
| |
| 15:40 | <Lns> manually mounting works fine
| |
| 15:41 | * _UsUrPeR_ checks something | |
| 15:41 | <sbalneav> Lns: No, no support for ntfs
| |
| 15:41 | <Lns> sbalneav: ah, you're right. It'll mount, but not write files
| |
| 15:42 | <_UsUrPeR_> :O crazytown
| |
| 15:42 | <Lns> but that's aside from my other flash-drive, that's FAT fs
| |
| 15:42 | yeah, why no ntfs support?
| |
| 15:44 | Hmm, my flash drive won't delete files either - delete a file, it goes away in nautilus...pull the drive, put it back, and it's there again
| |
| 15:44 | * Lns wishes he had another usb flash drive handy | |
| 15:44 | <_UsUrPeR_> that's weird
| |
| 15:44 | <sbalneav> IIRC, ntfs has to be run as a fuse filesystem, and we haven't got fuse running on the thin client.
| |
| 15:45 | <_UsUrPeR_> like RO, but it tricks you
| |
| 15:45 | berriop has left #ltsp | |
| 15:45 | <Lns> yea
| |
| 15:47 | Hmm, ok.. pulling the drive without manually unmounting it will cause it to lose any changes during mount
| |
| 15:47 | (if not manually mounted)
| |
| 15:47 | <sbalneav> NTFS?
| |
| 15:47 | <Lns> no, FAT
| |
| 15:47 | this is my flash drive now
| |
| 15:47 | <sbalneav> How long are you waiting?
| |
| 15:47 | it takes 2 seconds to flush
| |
| 15:48 | <Lns> sbalneav: longer than that
| |
| 15:48 | at least 10-20 sec
| |
| 15:48 | <sbalneav> Nope, unmounts happen at two second intervals
| |
| 15:48 | <Lns> sbalneav: no i meant i wait 10-20sec ;)
| |
| 15:48 | <sbalneav> now, if you've written a LOT of data, the flush might actually take a while
| |
| 15:49 | then you've got something wrong with that flash drive, I'd say.
| |
| 15:49 | Or at least, somthing that the scripts don't like.
| |
| 15:50 | <Lns> hrm...now this time it worked..although i saw the drive light flashing about 30 seconds after i copied the file
| |
| 15:50 | <sbalneav> How big's the file?
| |
| 15:50 | <Lns> 588kb
| |
| 15:50 | but they were varying in size
| |
| 15:50 | all less than 1mb though
| |
| 15:50 | X0d_of_N0d has quit IRC | |
| 15:50 | <Lns> i dunno..i won't rule out my drive is failing i guess, until i try another one
| |
| 15:50 | just weird
| |
| 15:51 | i've only had issues with it in my TC
| |
| 15:51 | <sbalneav> Well, ltspfsd unmounts the drive after 2 seconds of network inactivity. Now, if the terminals having problems talking to the USB stick, either because of a duffy stick, or a faulty USB port, then the umount itself could take a while to happen.
| |
| 15:52 | So if it's only an issue in your TC, I'd say you have a hardware problem.
| |
| 15:52 | failing USB port, etc.
| |
| 15:53 | alkisg has left #ltsp | |
| 15:54 | <Lns> sbalneav: well it wouldn't be the port as i've tried multiple, and a usb hub... I just counted the amount of time after copying a file in nautilus to my flash drive - 27seconds for the light to start flashing (assuming it's flushing). After that, i pull the drive and put it back in and the file is there in full size
| |
| 15:54 | any time before that it won't stick, but the filename is there
| |
| 15:55 | or not, seems random
| |
| 15:55 | (filename)
| |
| 15:55 | X0d_of_N0d has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:56 | <Lns> too strange. ok i'll try later w/a different drive.
| |
| 15:56 | <sbalneav> Take a look at dmesg on the thin client
| |
| 15:56 | you're probably getting retry errors on the USB port
| |
| 16:01 | <Lns> sbalneav: nope actually.. but like i said, it does throw some buffer i/o errors on pulling the drive
| |
| 16:01 | it seems to work better when i wait a while (definitely closer to 30sec than 2)
