ogra:hi
06:42
who knows how to make one ica client can be manageed by two masters?
06:45pmatulis has joined #ltsp
06:46
<ogra>
i doubt thats possible ... but wait for stgraber to drop in
06:46
at least i dont think you can do it at the same time
06:47
beyond that the client needs to know the keys for both masters

06:53

well, i have not much insight into italc's guts ... stgraber is your man

<jackli>
I now using iTalc 1.0.9 under ubuntu 8.10.
06:55
It runs very well.but ervery time I run iTALC master,must add the client manually.
06:55
I try to change the /home/usr/.italc/globalconfig.xml.
06:55
but it dosnt work.
06:55
who knows why?
06:56
<Blinny>
jackli: That globalconfig.xml file is overwritten on iTalc initialization
06:57
<jackli>
Blinny:yes,but where can I put my ica client information.
06:57
<Blinny>
(look at /usr/bin/italc-launcher -- this is what is run from Applications->...->iTalc)
06:57
jackli: Currently in an LTSP environment there isn't a way to do that
06:57
jackli: You add them asneeded
06:58
jackli: It will auto-add all the LTSP iTalc clients on your local private subnet for you
06:59
<jackli>
Blinny:it's not convient if we need add the clients manually.
06:59
Blinny:and in my test,the iTALC master cannt auto add my thin-clients.
07:00
<Blinny>
jackli: Does iTalc create the LTSP classroom on startup?
07:01
<jackli>
Blinny:no
07:01
<Blinny>
jackli: Have you restarted the thin clients since installing iTalc on the server?
07:01
<jackli>
in classroom-management tab,it's empty
07:01
<ogra>
well, but if you created one it should keep ts settings afaik
07:02
<Blinny>
ogra: No. italc-launcher removes the settings file on startup and replaces it with the auto-generated one.
07:02
<ogra>
ah
07:02
<jackli>
yes,I think so.
07:02
<ogra>
well, as i said ... wait for stgraber
07:02
<Blinny>
jackli: Do your clients have 'iTalc client' in System->Preferences->Sessions ?
07:03
<jackli>
Blinny:Yes
07:03
<Blinny>
jackli: And it's running?
07:03
<jackli>
of course.
07:03
<Blinny>
(checked)
07:03
<ogra>
ah, you are not one of the people running the client on the thin client ?
07:03
<jackli>
Blinny:I use namp localhost,and can see 5800 and 5900 running.
07:05
<Blinny>
Ok then that's a problem
07:06
<jackli>
Blinny:but I can add the thin-client or workstation manually.
07:06
<Blinny>
jackli: I suggest you wait for stgraber and ask them.
07:07
<jackli>
stgraber?
07:07
<ogra>
i think if you instal the client on the thin client and also ass avahit it will auto-register
07:07
*add
07:08
jackli, yes, stgraber maintains the ubuntu package and added a bunch of features upstream
07:08
<Blinny>
Unless you have multiple subnets. Then only the first of two least-significant /16 IPs will add
07:08
jackli: Are you running iTalc from a thin client?
07:08
<jackli>
my ubuntu 8.10 server has tow eth cards.
07:09
<Blinny>
Meaning the master application?
07:09
<jackli>
Blinny:yes
07:09
<Blinny>
Then I'm not sure and I cannot help you. Apologies.
07:10
Maybe your ~/.globalconfig.xml isn't writable by the user
07:10
<jackli>
Blinny:Are you running iTalc from a thin client? you mean....
07:10
rw..r...r
07:11
<Blinny>
jackli: If your user is logged into a thin client and you go (on the thin client) to Applications->System tools->iTalc master interface
07:11
then you should have an environmental variable $LTSP_CLIENT that dictates the actions of /usr/bin/italc-launcher
07:12
<jackli>
Blinny:You mean I can run iTALC master interface under thin-client
07:12
<Blinny>
Yes. If you do it should auto-create the LTSP classroom and add your clients.
07:14
<jackli>
Blinny:oh,I see.But if I run iTALC master interface under the thin-client server.why it is not working?
07:15
Blinny:another topic:can one ica client be managed by two master interface?

08:24
I'll test that out in a bit

Gadi, wassup ?
08:32
<Gadi>
hey - when I log into an Intrepid server from a gutsy chroot, everything works nicely except gconfd
08:32
so, gconf settings revert to default
08:32
any idea what might have changed?
08:32rjune has quit IRC
08:32
<Gadi>
or if an env var needs setting?
08:32
<ogra>
gconfd uses dbus in intrepid, does your session bus run ?

08:33
<ogra>
hmm, no idea ...
08:34
<Gadi>
is: "//bin/dbus-daemon" correct?
08:34
looks odd
08:34
<ogra>
btw, i looked at the gabriel source
08:34
<Gadi>
yeah, I looked at it last night, too
08:34
<ogra>
its insane but gives some good ideas :)
08:34
<Gadi>
seems a bit hackish to use socat
08:34
:P
08:34
<ogra>
nothing we can use
08:34
<Gadi>
why not just run ssh -L ?
08:35
and use tcp connections?

<sbalneav>
Whew, what a trip
08:35
<ogra>
Gadi, well, i'd like to see it just connecting to the existing tunnel
08:35
and do the transport through it as well
08:36
<sbalneav>
2 offices, 1987km of driving, 5 days.
08:36
2 servers upgraded.
08:36rjune has quit IRC
08:36
<Gadi>
ogra: I was thinking: ssh -S $LDM_SOCKET -L 1234:$LDM_SERVER:1234 $LDM_SERVER
08:36
and then make dbus on the server listen to localhost 1234
08:36
or some such
08:37
or maybe we need the other way around
08:37
actually
08:37
-R ...
08:37
either way, are you after session dbus or system dbus?
08:37
I was under the impression that local devices are handled by system dbus
08:38alkisg has quit IRC
08:38
<ogra>
Gadi, but that wil open a separate TCP conn
08:38
i dont want the transport going unenecrypted
08:38
<Gadi>
ogra: my aim would be to tunnel it
08:38
right
08:38
so, I meant -R
08:38
I think
08:38
oh, no - ur right
08:39
nm
08:39
not thinking
08:39
there should be a 7-second erase button on these logs
08:39
:)
08:39
<ogra>
it needs a server app on the session side we dont have yet
08:40alkisg has joined #ltsp
08:40
<ogra>
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSPClientShutdownReboot
08:41
something like that ... creating a socket in the session and forwarding everything through the tunnel
08:42
<Gadi>
thats not much of a "server app"
08:42
<ogra>
well, a communication app
08:43
and even one thats best run as a dbus service on the client side
08:43
and you need to bend DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in the session env
08:44
<Gadi>
rc.d script: ssh .... 'mkfifo --mode=0600 "${HOME}/.ltsp_client_socket" && DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=blah'
08:44
<ogra>
no, dbus .service file :)
08:44
though, umm
08:45
we dont have the socket without ldm session
08:45
so it needs to be triggered by rc.d script ... but the implementation itself should be in dbus
08:46
&& DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=blah wouldnt work ... it needs to be set in the session, not on the client
08:47
that part needs actual hacking of dbus
08:47rjune has joined #ltsp
08:47
<ogra>
since we want the real dbus daemon that runs with --session to attach to our socket

hmm.. well, it could always be part of the command run by ldm itself when it runs the session
09:00F-GT has joined #ltsp
09:00
<Gadi>
that way, it sets the env var and fifo just before executing Xsession

09:46
<ogra>
sbalneav, we'll need dbus client to session communication ... if thats there its trivial to add ltspfs to it ... but the main cause is that gnome and kde more and more need to be able to talking to the system bus on the client
09:49
<sbalneav>
So, we're working on that now? Or just thinking about it? I've been away for a week, and I'm interested in being involved in that.
09:51
<ogra>
looking into possibilities
09:55
<Gadi>
ogra: did stgraber tell you about his success with xrandr?
09:56
dual-head on his intel-based lappie with just a few lts.conf vars
09:56
and with different resolutions
09:56
:)
09:57
<stgraber>
we just need hack.d and my Virtual-generator script so it works with the intel video driver
09:57
<Gadi>
stop calling it hack.d :P
09:57
screen-session.d
09:57
sounds much better

ogra: do you recall if you needed any client-side changes to ldm to support consolekit?
09:58
(consolekit on server that is)
09:58* Gadi wonders if my gconfd issues are related to consolekit
10:02
<ogra>
Gadi, its an issue of ssh not ldm
10:02gate_keeper_ has quit IRC
10:03
<Gadi>
ok - what was the issue again exactly?
10:03
<stgraber>
sbalneav: btw, you coming to UDS ? I know Jim was trying to make you come but haven't heard of the result :)
10:06
<sbalneav>
stgraber: No, sorry. Too much work and not enough me. :)
10:06
But, I'll join in via IRC, and I *AM* very interested in working on the dbus side of things.
10:09
<stgraber>
good, I have registered two LTSP blueprints at the moment, you may be able to join using the VOIP (usually crappy at UDS) or on IRC

<ogra>
sbalneav, policykit will take over everything at some point, additionally all HW interaction will move to hal/devicekit so we need to be able to talk to the system dbus on the client for everything, that makes dbus transport important ...
10:43
(sorry was in a 2h phonecall)
10:45
<johnny>
is there a way to merge the two dbus ?
10:45
that'd be most interesting..
10:46
<ogra>
merge ?
10:46
<johnny>
so that the the remote session sees what is done by the client, and what other things are exposing interfaces on the server in the same merged bus
10:47
<ogra>
you dont want to have your users have access to the system bus on the server
10:47
<johnny>
sure.. that's where the merging comes in :)
10:47
<ogra>
why would you merge anything
10:47
all you need it the system bus on the client
10:48
*is
10:48
at that point for exmple gnome-power-manager or shutdown/reboot will just magically work
10:49
all the ltspfs hackery can go, we just need to hook in the transport part into hal
10:49
if you would merge the two dbuses you would start to confuse the apps

hi ive problems using kiwi-ltsp my client boots via PXE! while booting i get after a few minutes red error warning (like suse has an error ehile booting and it drops me into a concole, always switching between two displays...

k3j0, very few folks here use kiwi.
12:03
cyberorg, you about?
12:03
perhaps you should mention what the error was..
12:03
<Gadi>
k3j0: that said, do you have 2 SCREEN_XX ?
12:04
sounds like you are running rdesktop as a second screen script and it cannot connect
12:05
<k3j0>
y
12:05
Gady, johnny i cant read the error its to fast over and swaps me in the console
12:06
<Gadi>
k3j0: the rdesktop screen script is retarded in the current releases, and does not make for a fun experience when used as a second screen script
12:06
if that is your setup, I can suggest a change
12:06
<k3j0>
my setuapis totally default
12:07
but i use rdesktop meanwhile
12:07
<Gadi>
heh, ok, so that makes no sense

<Gadi>
hmm - and you see the above errors with that config?
12:14
<k3j0>
y
12:14
<Gadi>
if so, it sounds like the Xserver cannot start up
12:14
try CONFIGURE_X=False
12:14
<k3j0>
y
12:15
<Gadi>
if that still does not work, try: XSERVER=vesa
12:15
<k3j0>
kk
12:15
<Gadi>
or try setting the X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH
12:15
<k3j0>
what do i have to restart when i cahgen the lts.conf?
12:16
<Gadi>
it could be that it cannot detect your monitor frequencies and therefore cannot select a valid mode
12:16
nothing
12:16
<k3j0>
hmm
12:16
<Gadi>
just reboot
12:16

where do the logs for failed X starts go in Ubuntu 8.10? I don't see them in /var/log anymore :/
12:40
<ball>
Is LTSP always based on X11?
12:42
<johnny>
_UsUrPeR_, still there for me :)
12:42
ball, vs what?
12:42
<ball>
johnny: VNC?
12:42
<_UsUrPeR_>
johnny: I just installed 8.10 and need to get DVI working on a 1422 client.
12:42
they seriously just show up in there?

ball, nah.. vnc is no good
12:47
it wouldn't give us the thinsgs we need for local apps or devices
12:48
<ball>
johnny: How well does LTSP handle the sudden disappearance of a terminal (cleaning lady trips over the power cable etc.)
12:48
?
12:48
<johnny>
ltsp handles it fine..
12:48
sometimes apps don't..
12:49
<ball>
Hmm... okay.
12:49
<johnny>
ball, my users often cut the power manually.. no problems except the occasional "firefox is already loaded"
12:49
<ball>
Is there any way to reconnect to the same session when that happens?
12:49
<johnny>
nope
12:49
sadly there is no screen like program for
12:49
X
12:49
<ball>
ok
12:49
<johnny>
it is feasibletho
12:50
<ball>
Is X likely to be faster than VNC?
12:50
<johnny>
it just is above many of our skill levels

(I have VNC working, no idea what's involved in getting LTSP up)
12:50
<johnny>
yes
12:50
ltsp boots over network
12:50
<ball>
Is it difficult to configure?
12:51
<johnny>
getting ltsp up in fedora/ubuntu/debian is realtively easy.. install the packages, integrate with an existing dhcp server if necessary, boot your clients
12:51
if they don't have pxe boot.. you can use a floppy or cd from rom-o-matic
12:51
<ball>
I should probably put the terminals on a separate LAN.
12:51
...that might make life easier.
12:52
<_UsUrPeR_>
ball, the easiest way to make a simple test system: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
12:52
>
12:53
ok, I found this error on my system in SCREEN_01: kernel call returned: Broken pipe Reconnecting
12:53
Error: Ioctl/1.1a failed: Bad file descriptor
12:57
<ball>
_UsUrPeR_: bookmarked, thanks.
12:57
<johnny>
screen_01 ?
12:57
you don't have that set do you?
12:57
on ubuntu that is..
12:58
<_UsUrPeR_>
I set up one so I could access root...
12:58
is that a porblum?
12:58
<johnny>
don't do it on 01
12:58
yes it is
12:58
there should be an error
12:58
set SCREEN_02=shell
12:58
instead
12:58
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: that isn't fedora right?
12:58
<johnny>
warren, you're late to the party, i got this
12:58
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: correct. Ubuntu 8.10
12:58
<warren>
ok
12:58
<ball>
Does LTSP have a separate X server instance for each connected terminal?
12:59
<_UsUrPeR_>
johnny: I have screen_02 = shell. I never assigned screen_01. I was just using that asa a reference
12:59
<johnny>
oh ok!
12:59
<_UsUrPeR_>
what is the term? tty1?
12:59
<johnny>
sounds like you have other problems then
12:59
SCREEN_01 is only usable on fedora (atm)
12:59
<warren>
and Gadi's thing
13:00
<_UsUrPeR_>
oh. I am using the 8.10 alternate CD install
13:00
and trying to get it working with DVI on our client
13:00
<johnny>
warren, i'll go ahead and add gentoo to the conditional
13:00
<_UsUrPeR_>
works fine w/VGA out
13:00
<ball>
I should have gone with the Alternate, but I didn't know.
13:00siki has quit IRC
13:00
<johnny>
it's fine to use any imo
13:00
<_UsUrPeR_>
ball: yeah, much easier
13:01
<ball>
Still, it's not that difficult to reinstall.
13:01
<johnny>
_UsUrPeR_, try setting CONFIGURE_X=N
13:01
ball, it's easier to just install ltsp-server-standalone
13:01
yeah you BASTARDS.. eat justice
13:01
nasty walmart shoppers ..
13:01
<ball>
What's the min. spec. for terminals?
13:02
<_UsUrPeR_>
johnny: in my tries thus far to get ltsp working on ubuntu 8.10, I've only had luck with the alternate install

_UsUrPeR_, odd.. all is fine for me .. on multiple installs

and it's most definitely not for lack of trying
13:02
hmm
13:02
...
13:02
dammit! Making me doubt myself! ;)
13:02
<johnny>
so.. try CONFIGURE_X=False
13:03Lns has joined #ltsp
13:03
<johnny>
Lns, your name is now a script too..
13:03
<ball>
With LTSP, are the clients running on the central computer, or on the terminals?
13:03
<johnny>
a symlink easer..
13:03
<Lns>
johnny: whhaaa?
13:03
ln -s ? =p
13:03
<johnny>
ball, they boot off the network, start a local x server to authenticate via ssh
13:04
and then run all programs on the server (at least by default)
13:04
<ball>
Good, that's pretty much what I'm after.
13:04
<johnny>
Lns, it's ln -s.. but with more error checking..and allows you to mix up the source and target
13:04
<ball>
ssh is a nice touch too.
13:04
<johnny>
min spec is around 128mb ram and 500mhz

<ltsppbot>
"_UsUrPeR_" pasted "current lts.conf" (9 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/118
13:04
<ball>
Hmm... I can do that... just
13:04
<Lns>
johnny: hasn't that been a redhat/friends bash alias for a while? along with ll, etc ?
13:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
johnny: check that out
13:05
it's what I am using for lts.conf right now
13:05
<ball>
Is it strictly 2D graphics only, or can a user play video?
13:05
<johnny>
try CONFIGURE_X=F first
13:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
and you are suggesting I put CONFIGURE_X=False in there?
13:05
<johnny>
and drop the rest
13:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
rgr
13:05
<johnny>
that's my first start for any X problem
13:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
johnny: should I keep [DEFAULT]?
13:05
<johnny>
the next step is custom xorg.conf
13:05
yes.. always it is required
13:05
sadly
13:06
ball, sure. video will work.. but it will saturate your network
13:06
if you're not careful
13:06
<ball>
johnny: I'm careful ;-)
13:06
<johnny>
flash is especially terrible
13:06
that's why i am going to run flash and firefox locally
13:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
ball: video playback works... ok. Flash will play in 320x200 at a reasonable frame rate
13:07
<johnny>
just need more ram.
13:07
<ball>
e.g. 100baseT between each terminal and the switch, 1000baseT from the switch to the central computer.
13:07randra has quit IRC
13:07
<ball>
with a few terminals, no individual terminal can saturate the server's connection
13:07
...that's my theory anyway.
13:08
I didn't even know flash was an option on Linux
13:08
<johnny>
sure is..
13:08
flash10 even
13:08
<Lns>
ball: Flash has been an option for a long time w/linux, just not SHOCKWAVE director
13:08
<johnny>
but it only works with x86 and x86_64 machines
13:08
<Lns>
not natively anyway
13:09
<johnny>
Lns, did you see that 64bit is native now?
13:09
works like a charm
13:09
i removed nspluginwrapper :)
13:09
<_UsUrPeR_>
yeah
13:09
I saw that was released
13:09* _UsUrPeR_ tips his hat to slashdot.org
13:09
<johnny>
linux has the best 64bit support
13:09
<Lns>
johnny: yeah..I hear it's a bit buggy, but I'm very surprised as I remember Adobe saying they'd NEVER make a 64bit version of flash, even for win
13:09
<johnny>
and the edge on alternative arches like arm
13:10
except vs mac osx :(
13:10
but definitely over windows..
13:10
there will be flash for arm too
13:11* ball hugs ARM
13:13
<ball>
Does LTSP include any support for 3D, if the terminal has 3D hardware that's supported by X11?
13:15
<_UsUrPeR_>
ball: I have personally tested glxgears @3000 FPS with a geforce 8600 on a client
13:15
ball: it requires the nvidia drivers to be installed on the client image.
13:16
<ball>
Okay, that's good to know.

<_UsUrPeR_>
sbalneav: yes. It starts.

I'm using a ltsp 1420 w/dual output (dvi/vga)
13:45
on the VGA sideit works
13:45highvoltage has joined #ltsp
13:45
<_UsUrPeR_>
on the DVI side, I have tried a few things ( http://pastebot.ltsp.org/118 ) with no positive results
13:46
sbalneav: that exact lts.conf worked perfectly in ubuntu 8.04
13:47
<sbalneav>
And there's no /var/log/X... logfile?
13:47
<_UsUrPeR_>
sbalneav: correct. There's nothing pertaining to X in the log file
13:48
<sbalneav>
But there is a Xorg.6.log? There's just nothing in it?
13:48
You're running on what, Ubuntu?
13:48
<Gadi>
_UsUrPeR_: you need to specify SCREEN_07=ldm
13:48
<_UsUrPeR_>
no. No Xorg.anything
13:48
<Gadi>
if you specify SCREEN_02=shell
13:48
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: lemme try that
13:48* Gadi waves to sbalneav

13:50
<Gadi>
ah
13:50
fix all ur hardy issues then?
13:52
<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: no. Xorg.7.log shows up now, but DVI is still an issue
13:53
<sbalneav>
Gadi: Well, with the exception of one printing bug that crops up intermittantly, yeah. I'm using a post-hackfest backported ldm, which is working great.

warren: what needs to go in an lts.conf in Fedora 9 to get it working properly with DVI
15:34
oh man, two warren summonings at once? :)
15:34
here's my current lts.conf
15:34
<ltsppbot>
"_UsUrPeR_" pasted "LTS.conf in Fedora 9 -- Trying for DVI" (24 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/119
15:35
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: we do not support any X_ options in Fedora
15:35
_UsUrPeR_: you need to write those options into an alternate xorg.conf then point at it with X_CONF
15:35
we could support X* options but it will take quite a bit of time to rewrite the scripts to make it possible
15:36
and thus far only you've needed it
15:36
<_UsUrPeR_>
huh. Ok.
15:37
Is there a special setting I need to use for DVI video output?
15:37
<warren>
you need to tell X what it needs to do
15:37
with an xorg.conf
15:37
you can specify a specific xorg.conf with X_CONF=/path/to/somewhere
15:37* _UsUrPeR_ checks his xorg
15:38
<warren>
If this is a particular pain I could move up the priority on getting X_* options working
15:38
but seriously, so few people need it
15:38
note that LTSP upstream's default doesn't respect X_* options anymore either
15:40
<_UsUrPeR_>
Does DVI work well on non-via non-openchrome chipsets? If it were a choice, I would rather not have to put anything in to any conf file at all.
15:40
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: generally yes, out of the bx.
15:40
box
15:40
_UsUrPeR_: if it isn't working for you then it is a video driver bug
15:40
detection is just failing
15:40* _UsUrPeR_ curses via yet again
15:40
<_UsUrPeR_>
k
15:41
<warren>
via seems to have a clue these days
15:41
<_UsUrPeR_>
I'll see if I can't get an error out of the xorg.log and put up a bug for it
15:41
<warren>
they're supporting openchrome development now
15:41
<_UsUrPeR_>
err wait, there won't be a bug because it's putting out to the VGA port instead of the DVI port
15:42randra has joined #ltsp
15:42
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: it should be detecting that
15:44
<_UsUrPeR_>
Ok, would you like me to submit the Xorg.7.log with the bug?
15:45
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: yes
15:48Eghie has quit IRC
15:50
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: you should file this at the upstream openchrome project, there is absolutely zero we specifically can d about it
15:50
_UsUrPeR_: they might give you a patch eventually, you can point us at that patch and we can build it
15:50

Hi,
22:09
I have a netvista 2290 that I want to set up with ltsp, but I have no clue howto with 5
22:09
2200
22:25
<johnny>
what's the difference?
22:26
with 5 vs 4..
22:26
<sbalneav>
I don't think that has pxe booting does it?
22:27
alex_21: I think you'll need to load gPXE or something to the flashrom
22:28
<Ryan52>
g 60
22:28
err, oops, wrong buttons :p
22:30
<sbalneav>
alex_21: Still there?
22:40
<alex_21>
Yes
22:41
<sbalneav>
So, looks like you'll need to load gPXE into it's flash
22:41
how much ram does it have?
22:41
<alex_21>
It doesn't in the older firmware, but they included something in later versions of the firmware to load over tftp
22:42
With Linux that is
22:42
32 MB, but I can go up to 288 MB
22:43
<sbalneav>
You're going to need probably at least 64 to even boot
22:44
ok, so which firmware do *you* have? :)
22:46
<alex_21>
2001 and I wan't to go to 2002, the latest, but I can't figure that out either
22:48
<sbalneav>
How many of these do you have?
22:48
<alex_21>
Two of them, but I can go up to seven
22:51
<sbalneav>
So, I'm really not sure what question it is you have: Have you TRIED booting them, and you get an error message? Do you have an LTSP server set up?
