hello
10:09
does anyone know whether it is possible to logon a thin client automatically into a ldm session from another machine?
10:20
<nubae>
from another machine?
10:21
you can set ldm to autologin after a period of time, or straight on startup
10:21
if u want to switch sessions to another user, can do that on any machine in question too

warren:
10:52
I am seeing what I think is a bug
10:54
warren: after a brand new install of ltsp-server via "yum install ltsp-server", why does dhcpd still refer to /etc/dhcpd.conf instead of /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf? Every time I install ltsp on a F10 box, I have to "ln -s /etc/dhcpd.conf /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf"

_UsUrPeR_: service ltsp-dhcpd
12:01
_UsUrPeR_: don't use dhcpd
12:01
petre: pong
12:02
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: oh :D
12:03
<petre>
warren, the page on joining PackageMaintainers says use cvs-import with 'your approved SRPM'
12:04
warren, so I used 0.0.7 of my srpm
12:04
<warren>
petre: no
12:04
petre: import whatever is best
12:04
<petre>
but I've got a 0.0.8 now; do I just repeat the step with that?
12:05
<warren>
petre: try this, cvs co packagename
12:05
petre: and checkin changes manually
12:05
petre: you need to learn both methods
12:06
<petre>
'cvs co' is what I'm used to, not sure how to blend it with fedora-cvs
12:10
<warren>
I very rarely use cvs-import.sh
12:10
personally
12:14
<petre>
warren, I was just asking over on fedora-devel: what do I set CVSROOT to in order to check in/out?
12:14
<warren>
petre: I personally do this:
12:15
petre: mkdir /home/username/somewhere/something
12:15
<Gadi>
vagrantc, warren, ogra, et al: I would like to add the code for the serial touchscreen support that we have currently into the new screen-session.d stuff, but I know that there is some "other way" with inputattach that has been proposed as the better way
12:15* Gadi has no clue about this method
12:15
<warren>
petre: cd /home/username/somewhere/something
12:15
<Gadi>
but, I need the touchscreen code in there
12:15
is it ok for me to add the hack to do what the current code does for now
12:15
<warren>
#!/bin/bash
12:15
export CVSROOT=:ext:wtogami@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/pkgs
12:15
export CVS_RSH='ssh'
12:15
bash
12:15
<Gadi>
until someone knows a better way?
12:16
<warren>
petre: so I run that script whenever I will use fedora cvs in that dir
12:16
Gadi: hmm, inputattach refers to xorg 1.5?
12:16
<Gadi>
I think so
12:17
<vagrantc>
inputattach has been around long before xorg 1.5
12:17
<petre>
warren, right, I use something similar for some other projects
12:17
<vagrantc>
Gadi: how ugly is the code? :)
12:17
<Gadi>
I think the idea is that serial devices should use inputattach and then Xorg1.5 will magically see them
12:17
or something
12:17
<vagrantc>
older versions too
12:17
<Gadi>
vagrantc: its the same as the touchscreen part of configure-x.sh (of blessed memory)
12:18
<vagrantc>
we had inputattach code in the init scripts for ages to handle serial mice
12:18
<Gadi>
ah
12:18
well, inputattach may be easier
12:18
with the new Xorgs that can have partial configs
12:18
how are serial mice handled?
12:18
that may give me a clue
12:19
<vagrantc>
Gadi: look at ltsp-trunk/client/initscripts/ltsp-init-common
12:19
<petre>
warren, I'm just unclear as to what CVSROOT should be set to
12:19
<warren>
petre: I just told you
12:19
<vagrantc>
Gadi: configure_serial_mouse function
12:20
<warren>
petre: if you uploaded the right ssh pubkey to fedora account system, you can use the cvs without typing any passwords 10 times
12:20
<Gadi>
and that works with conf-less xorg?
12:20
<warren>
petre: replace wtogami with your own account name
12:20
<petre>
warren, yep, did that
12:20
public key, I mean
12:20
<vagrantc>
Gadi: i believe inputattach can make serial devices show up as /dev/input/mice/misc or whatever the default is these days.
12:20
<Gadi>
right
12:20
<vagrantc>
Gadi: but i so rarely have tested serial mice
12:20
<petre>
warren, ok, I'll try that
12:21
<Gadi>
so I have two qus:
12:21
1. does it still owrk ? ;)
12:21
*work
12:21
<vagrantc>
only millions and millions of ways to find out :)
12:21
<Gadi>
2. what if your touchscreen does not have an X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL?
12:21
:P
12:22
<vagrantc>
man inputattach, i'm guessing
12:23
<Gadi>
its rather skimpy
12:27
<warren>
Gadi: I don't understand serial touchscreen or inputattach enough to comment
12:27
I think, do whatever you want, just don't break me.

<CAN-o-SPAM>
warren: ping
12:31
<Gadi>
interesting... if I do: strings /usr/sbin/inputattach I can find all these undocumented options
12:31
:)
12:32
<warren>
CAN-o-SPAM: ?
12:39
<vagrantc>
Gadi: it actually shows as /dev/psaux ?
12:39
<Gadi>
?
12:40
<vagrantc>
Gadi: Synaptics Touchpad ...
12:40
man, that code is ugly...
12:40
<Gadi>
I dunno about synaptics
12:41
I just know about the elographics
12:41
I *think* this is how it goes down:
12:41
inputattach makes the /dev/ttyS0 a /dev/input/<blah>
12:41hanthana has quit IRC
12:41
<Gadi>
hal comes in and adds calibration info
12:42
and Xorg picks up the device through evdev
12:42
which listens to hal
12:42
and thats how the new system goes
12:42
but, hal is important because otherwise there's no calibration
12:43petre_ has joined #ltsp
12:43
<vagrantc>
maybe just go ahead and add it the old way, and we can improve it later ...
12:43
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: why does ltspbr0 disappear on restart in F10?
12:43
<Gadi>
well, the old way requires some thought too
12:43
bec it is an input device
12:44
not sure if that requires anything more than an input device stanza
12:44
<vagrantc>
Gadi: it needs it's own section?
12:44
<Gadi>
possibly
12:44
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: it came up properly the first time I ran ltsp-server-initilaize -y
12:45petre has quit IRC
12:46
<vagrantc>
Gadi: we could handle which functions to run with a variable ... i.e. write_device, write_screen, write_monitor, for x in $custom_write_functions ; do ${x} ; done, write_modules
12:47
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: ugh, ltps-server-initialize shouldn't be used, nobody has tried to fix any of its bugs in a year
12:47
_UsUrPeR_: how did you find it? I need to just remove it or something.
12:47
<vagrantc>
and add custom_write_functions="$custom_write_functions foo"
12:47
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: oh. :/
12:47
<Gadi>
possibly
12:47
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: it was installed with yum install ltsp-server
12:47
<Gadi>
if this is worth adding upstream, then we might as well make it a default function
12:48
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: the idea with the bridge is solid. I liked it's implementation
12:48
<Gadi>
if this remains a downstream hack, then not
12:48
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: is service network among the services started automatically at bootup?
12:48
_UsUrPeR_: NetworkManager doesn't know how to bring up bridges
12:49* _UsUrPeR_ checks services
12:50
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: it appears the Network is started on boot, but not "Enabled"
12:51
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: chkconfig network on
12:51
<_UsUrPeR_>
rgr
12:53
<Gadi>
hmm... inputattach hangs with this touchscreen
12:57
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: another question: when installing ltsp-server, why do I have to turn on the sshd service?
12:57
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: manually you mean?
12:58
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: correct
12:58
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: well, it might already be enabled, but the docs mention it just to be 100% sure it is enabled
12:58
hmm
12:58
<_UsUrPeR_>
ok
12:58
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: the ltsp version in fedora 10 repos is a bit old, i'm soon pushing latest upstream
12:59
Gadi: how important are those changes you made in ltsp-trunk?
12:59petre_ is now known as petre
12:59
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: cool.
12:59
<warren>
Gadi: will it be tagged soon?
12:59
<Gadi>
I think I only made one change
12:59
vagrantc has made more
13:00
my change makes the localapps local groups work in an Active Directory (smbldap) environment where groups can have more than 1 word
13:01
<warren>
how safe are those changes?
13:01
<Gadi>
Mine should be pretty safe - cannot speak for vagrantc's - but I think vagrantc's been testing as he goes?
13:01
maybe?
13:01
<vagrantc>
warren: all my changes are just code cleanups
13:01
<Gadi>
if you are concerned, warren, no need to rush with those
13:02
otherwise, a quick test on fedora wouldnt hurt
13:02
:)
13:02
<vagrantc>
warren: i think they're safe, haven't tested them in a *real* environment
13:02
but i have done some testing
13:06
<Gadi>
warren: btw: I found that on some new via boards that I am testing, there are more audio channels that need default values for sound :P
13:06
<warren>
Gadi: fun
13:06
<Gadi>
yeah: they make channels called VIA_DSX
13:06
:P
13:06
I think it is like high def sound or 5.1 channel audio or some such
13:07
but, if the VIA_DSX,0 channel is not turned up, you dont hear anything
13:07* Gadi might try to make that code a little smarter about finding channel names
13:19
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: is there a certain group/permissions that need to be settled to allow users access to flash and removable hard drivers in F10?
13:20
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: uh, that's an upstream question
13:20
<vagrantc>
_UsUrPeR_: on debian, they need to be added to the fuse group
13:21
no idea with fedora
13:21
<_UsUrPeR_>
vagrantc: yeah, that's why i was asking.
13:22
<warren>
oh
13:22
_UsUrPeR_: if you're logged into GNOME on F10 you don't need to add the user to the fuse group
13:22
_UsUrPeR_: but ltspfs will only mount things considered "removable" media
13:22
there is something else you can do it make it mount local disks, but I never used it
13:23
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: ok, let me try a flash drive instead of removeable hdd
13:23
<warren>
USB flash drives and USB hard drives have not failed for me in many months
13:26alekibango has quit IRC
13:26
<_UsUrPeR_>
warren: I'm running with a new install. Is there anything that needs to be done in order to ensure that removable media will appear on the client desktop? Right now, there is nothing.
13:27
<warren>
_UsUrPeR_: umm... I really haven't seen that fail ever
13:27
since like March 2008
13:27
_UsUrPeR_: what kind of session login? GNOME?
13:28
<_UsUrPeR_>
yeah, gnome

Gotta question... Using ltsp for the first time with edubuntu... We are configuring it for a private school. I have the server the way I want it... When booting from the thin client it will pull up the graphical login screen, I can log in but after it recognizes my credentials, it black screens and locks up... Any ideas??

I've just setup LTSP-5 on Debian Sid and my client boots successfully, but the login window never appears (monitor blanks)
17:11
The server logs ldminfod[10434]: connect from 192.168.0.145 (192.168.0.145) but nothing else,
17:11
and there are no errors in the X logs on the client

18:18
just link greeter-gtkrc to whatever theme's gtkrc, and then symlink all the other files from the ltsp theme ...

instant ldm themes! :)

gtk2-engines-nodoka is nice because it's tiny and it ships something totally useable.

gtk2-engines-murrine recommends murrine-themes, which is kind of annoying ...
