hi
06:52F-GT has joined #ltsp
06:52
<lbs>
whether the ltsp thin-client user the same as the ltsp-server's user?
06:55
<ogra>
there re no users on the thin clients
06:55
*are
06:56
all sessions run on the server using server users usually
06:56
<nubae>
thats a weird comment :-)
06:56
<lbs>
Oh,I see.
06:56
<ogra>
nubae, but a true one :)
06:57
at least for ubuntu and debian :) i thik fedora doesnt lock root ... so you might have a root user there
06:57
<nubae>
good way to confuse the new ltsp user ;-)
06:57
<lbs>
How can I start service daemon under thin-client
06:58
<nubae>
services run on the server
06:58
<ogra>
what exactly do you want to achieve ?
06:58
<lbs>
I want to install iTALC
06:59
<nubae>
apt-get install italc-master
06:59
<lbs>
I install the iTALC on the server.
07:00
<nubae>
like ogras comment above, there are no apps on the client :-)
07:00
<lbs>
but how can the thin-client to install the iTALC?
07:01
But if I want to start the service daemon when the thin-client user logon,what can I do?
07:02
I want to use Italc to manage the thin client.
07:02
<ogra>
nubae, i didnt say that :)
07:02
<lbs>
I chroot to /opt/ltsp/i386.
07:03
<nubae>
lbs: uneeded, read above
07:03
ogra: but an equally obscure comment thats true :-p
07:04
<rjune_>
ogra: correct, fedora has a root user
07:04
<nubae>
all distros have a root user
07:05
<rjune_>
nubae: but ubuntu locks it.
07:05|Paradox| has joined #ltsp
07:05
<nubae>
yeah silliness if u ask me
07:07
what exactly is the purpose of locking the root user?
07:07
<ogra>
security
07:07
<lbs>
ogra:I was confused about the /opt/ltsp/i386,what's the function?
07:08
<ogra>
lbs, depends on the distro you use
07:08
<lbs>
oh,I use ubuntu 8.10
07:08
<ogra>
in ubuntu its the source tree from which the thin client image is built with ltsp-update-image
07:08
other distros use it directly via nfs as the client root
07:09
<lbs>
does the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.local the same as /etc/rc.local?
07:09F-GT has quit IRC
07:09
<nubae>
not really
07:10
<lbs>
If I want to run daemon when the thin-client user logon,can I use the /etc/rc.local ?
07:10
<nubae>
ogra: security for what exactly, for me its just a hinderance, unlocking is not exactly rocket science
07:11
<ogra>
lbs, yes, but for italc you shouldnt need that
07:12
nubae, its just to not shoot yourself in the foot if you fiddle with your chroot ...
07:12
<lbs>
Really?How can I make the thin-client run Italc and let the master to manage it?
07:12
<nubae>
just install it, everything will just work
07:13
<lbs>
I just installed it,but It doesnt work.the italc version is 1.0.9
07:14
I can run iTALC ON THE SERVER, But I cannot connect to thin-client.
07:14
<nubae>
right, that requires something else
07:15
connect by putting in 10000 as connection with the last 3 numbers being the ip
07:15
so 192.168.0.5 = 10005
07:15
localhost:10005
07:16
<lbs>
You mean iTALC 1.0.9 CAN do it.
07:16
<nubae>
yes, absolutely
07:16
<lbs>
oh,Than you.
07:17
I 'll read the script of ica-launcher.
07:20
nubae:iTALC to connect to iTALC client using IVSPORT OR ISDPORT?
07:20
<nubae>
what?
07:21
<lbs>
Just now ,I read the /usr/bin/ica-launcher script.
07:21
I saw the ivsport and isdport.
07:21
<nubae>
i have no idea what isd or ivs port is
07:22
what happens when u try to run italc?
07:22
it should just work
07:22
<lbs>
when my ubuntu start.I run my iTALC master interface.
07:23
it's ok.then I boot my thin-client.
07:23
and in the iTALC Master interface.I add the thin-client.
07:23
using localhost:11168.
07:24
<nubae>
add thinclient as localhost:10000 ?
07:24
no....
07:24
10168
07:24
not 11
07:24
<lbs>
Ok,I'LL TRY IT.
07:24
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:24* ogra shades his ears :)

warren, that aside, it worked fine, both parallel & usb
12:56
<warren>
petre: how much bigger will that make the live image?
12:57
petre: do you think we should just add the Requires, or split jetpipe into its own sub-package?

warren, sorry, I'm tending to a sick kid, so I keep popping in & out
13:31
pyserial is 237368 bytes
13:31
so, I think including it won't make a big difference
13:32
<warren>
hpijs and pyserial
13:32
<petre>
warren, the other thing I had to add was hpijs which is 2.3MB
13:32
<warren>
i'll just add them...
13:32
<petre>
sounds good, makes it more complete
13:32
<warren>
oh wait
13:33
hpijs and pyserial need to be added to the client chroot?
13:33
<petre>
pyserial does
13:33
but not hpijs
13:33
hpijs is printer driver stuff (I think)
13:33
<warren>
hpijs goes on the server side?
13:33
<petre>
right
13:35
<warren>
ok, that'll be in the next build
13:35
I have to go to the laundromat now

hi
17:13
can anybody here tell me whether it is possible (without too much effort) to configure ltsp to use the original server os and desktop on the thin client?
17:14
this would be comparable to a remote desktop via xdmcp but with sound etc.
17:15
I have to go now but I would appreciate a yes/no answer. I will look at the logs. Thank you and good night.
17:15
<vagrantc>
that's the normal LTSP setup
17:15
<philipp_>
no in ubuntu its a chroot
17:16
<vagrantc>
but you log into the server and run the server's applications
17:16
<philipp_>
there is this directory /opt/ltsp/i386 which is a root directory for the os used on the client?
17:16
hm
17:16
<vagrantc>
yes, but that's just enough to get it to log into the server and run the applications on the server.
17:16
<philipp_>
i don't have access to the accounts and home directories of the server when accessing by a client
17:17
<vagrantc>
how do you mean?
17:17
the thin-client itself doesn't have access to them, no. but all the thin-client does is log you into the server.
17:18
you don't have accounts on the thin client, you don't log into the thin-client. everything save for the mouse, keyboard and monitor is happening on the server.
17:18
<philipp_>
i would like to use the existing server user accounts on the client
17:18
and this doesn't seem to be possible
17:18
<vagrantc>
i don't understand what you want. everything you're saying sounds like the default behavior.
17:19japerry_cat has quit IRC
17:20
<philipp_>
i tried to login on the client with a username which exists on the server and it didn't work
17:20
should it work?
17:20
<vagrantc>
yes.
17:20
<philipp_>
ok
17:20
thank you
17:20
i will have to look into it again
17:20

you sure there isn't a howto on the ubuntu wiki?

there might be?
18:50lbs_ has joined #ltsp
18:53
<lbs_>
johnny:I read the wiki,but some is too old.
18:55
the wiki doesnt say how to install soft under ltsp-thin-client.and my applications just installed in the server.
18:56
when the user logon from the thin-client ,they can use the applications which installed in the server.
19:00
<johnny>
that is normal
19:00
so.. you can not find on ubuntu wiki any information for italc?

There is no system available for Slackware. How can I build LTSP5 in a package format for redistribution?
22:05
And, can LTSP boot AMD64 Opteron boxes?
22:07
<Ryan52>
the second one is yes...
22:07
what's a "package format for redistribution"?
22:07CaScAdE^FarAway has quit IRC
22:08
<Shingoshi>
Not rpms, but tgz instead. So that they can be installed from a repository.
22:08
<Ryan52>
just get it from bzr.
22:08
<Shingoshi>
Here is where I'm looking now. http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/IntegratingLtsp
22:08
I will try this and get back.
22:08
<Ryan52>
https://code.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream
22:09
<Shingoshi>
Is that the line I should use then?
22:13
<johnny>
Shingoshi, you will have to create a bzr branch
22:13
and start work on the slackware plugins under server/ltsp-build-client/plugins
22:14
look to the debian/gentoo/fedora/ubuntu files for inspiration
22:14
<Shingoshi>
Thanks guys.
22:14
<johnny>
i did gentoo with a mixture of what was in debian/ubuntu/fedora
22:14
the issue for you is not package formats quite yet
22:15
it is that ltsp-build-client cannot build a working slackware chroot to boot your clients off of
22:15hanthana has joined #ltsp
22:15
<johnny>
that is the most important thing that needs to be done
22:15
after you get that worked out.. then you can package it up in a tarball
22:15
<vagrantc>
well, package up the scripts into a tarball
22:16
<johnny>
atm.. there is zero/zilch/none slackware support
22:16
vagrantc, !
22:16
vagrantc, you turned me into more of a nerd
22:16
<vagrantc>
johnny: i don't see how i could have, seeing as you already preferred gentoo.
22:16
<johnny>
sure.. but now i'm a train nerd now
22:17
<vagrantc>
ah.
22:17

vagrantc: u rang?
22:17

Gadi: hey!
22:17
<johnny>
first time i've used a redhat distro on the desktop since 2001
22:18
<vagrantc>
Gadi: looks like cdfs is back in shape for lenny, so i'm interested in those patches again :)
22:18
<johnny>
well.. technically.. not just desktop
22:18
<Gadi>
ah
22:18
and here I thought I was in trouble
22:18
:)
22:18
<johnny>
i've logged into some rhel/centos servers .. but i never chose it..
22:19
<Gadi>
well, I have implemented ghotofs already - cdfs should be analogous
22:19
lemme have a look at the cdfs man page a sec...
22:20
<johnny>
hmm.. what are you guys doing now..
22:20
<vagrantc>
Gadi: though you have udev rules for recognizing PTP cameras ... not sure what you'd do to discover an audio CD
22:20
<johnny>
hal..
22:20
<Gadi>
vagrantc: indeed I do
22:21
but I also modify the mount/unmount that ltspfs does
22:21
<johnny>
hmm.. are you guys making ltsp too complicated again?
22:21
<Gadi>
to allow for fusemounting
22:21
<vagrantc>
johnny: no, just adding support for USB cameras and audio CDs
22:21
well, pseudo-support for both, really.
22:21
<Gadi>
hmm... why does cdfs depend on kernel-package and module-assistant?
22:21
that's ugly
22:22
<vagrantc>
well, there's no pre-built modules
22:22
<Gadi>
can you elaborate?
22:22
<vagrantc>
you have to build the module yourself
22:22
rather than apt-get installing them
22:23
<Gadi>
por que?
22:23
<johnny>
because there is no prebuild deb :)
22:23
<Gadi>
where is the OSS for the lazy bastard?
22:23
<vagrantc>
anyone wanting OSS is not a lazy bastard.
22:23
<Gadi>
oh, I beg to differ
22:23
:)
22:24* vagrantc wonders why gadi switched the topic to sound systems
22:24
<vagrantc>
:)
22:24
<Gadi>
so, is this package gonna tell me what to do or what?
22:25
either its late or this is not the most user-friendly of things
22:25
<vagrantc>
Gadi: you on debian or ubuntu?
22:25
<Gadi>
Ill give you 2 guesses
22:25
:)
22:25
<johnny>
ubuntu.
22:25* vagrantc doesn't know if it works in ubuntu
22:26
<johnny>
unbutu
22:26
<Gadi>
hehe
22:26
johnny: stop. ur both right!
22:26

Gadi: on Debian: m-a build ; dpkg -i /usr/src/$yourpackage.deb

22:27* vagrantc nudges johnny grumpily
22:28* Gadi hits johnny with a local app
22:28
<Gadi>
:)
22:28
<johnny>

22:28
<Gadi>

22:28
<johnny>

22:28
<Gadi>
:)
22:28
who claimed otherwise?
22:29
<johnny>
just verifying :)
22:29
<Gadi>
hehe
22:29
<vagrantc>
it's almost like LTSP developers know what they're doing or something
22:29
<johnny>

22:29* Gadi hands johnny an ill-tempered ewe
22:29
<Gadi>

<Gadi>
well, while I have you guys here, stgraber and I have been working out a S* K* script dir for before and after screen-sessions
22:31
we find that there are certain things we need to set up in the environment at times pre-Xserver
22:31
<vagrantc>
Gadi: wow. we're getting S & K crazy here.
22:32
<Gadi>
well, we liked it so much the first two times :)
22:32
<johnny>
i'm not used to this S & K stuff..
22:32
gentoo's init system is dependency based.. no S & K

<Gadi>
like peeling an onion
22:32
or something
22:32
gentoo never ever used SyssV
22:32
?
22:32
*SysV
22:33
<johnny>
i don't know about never
22:33
it does use /etc/inittab.. but it's not the same as yours
22:34
<Gadi>
