lisbet, keys are automatically generated and in right place when packages are installed
08:22
<lisbet>
it should be one in each client, but all clients are on the server
08:23
<cyberorg>
lisbet, not required with kiwi-ltsp, just follow that link
08:27
<lisbet>
Ok :-)
08:29

<cyberorg>
sbalneav, moin, just the guy i wanted here :)
08:47
sbalneav, happy new year, before i forget :)
08:49
sbalneav, i have 4 students starting work on getting ltspfs working with xrdp server, wanted to talk about that
08:51
how do we make ltspfs independent of ldm or we include rdesktop as LDM_RDP variable like we have LDM_DIRECTX
08:52
btw it is linux rdp server, not m$
09:02lisbet has quit IRC
09:04ByPasS has joined #ltsp
09:08
<sbalneav>
cyberorg: ltspfs is already pretty independent of ldm
09:09
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, it still depends on ssh socket created by ldm?
09:09
<sbalneav>
for simply sending the mount and unmount commands.
09:10
you can do that however you want under rdp
09:10
ltspfsd and ltspfs themselves don't depend on ldm
09:11
the socket's used by the udev scripts to actually send the command to mount and unmount.
09:11
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, what other ways can udev scrip send those commands?
09:12
except for running them manually
09:12
<sbalneav>
Whatever way you would do them under your rdp
09:12
doesn't rdp have a method to execute commands over the established socket?
09:13
<cyberorg>
not sure about that, i'll check if there is any
09:13
<sbalneav>
Well, you'll need something.
09:13
<cyberorg>
that is why i was thinking of using ssh socket created by ldm for ltspfs and use rdesktop for the rest
09:13
<sbalneav>
on a plug event, you'll have to have SOMETHING on the client send a signal to the server to have it execute the mount command.
09:14
You're on your own for that one. I know nothing about, and have no interest in, rdesktop.
09:15
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, we just run rdesktop commands after creating ssh socket via ldm, adding new variable LDM_RDP, login would be via ldm
09:16
that was the initial idea
09:16
<sbalneav>
So the server's a linux server?
09:16
<cyberorg>
yes
09:16
<sbalneav>
Why use rdesktop then?
09:18Gadi has joined #ltsp
09:18
<cyberorg>
better performance than X over ssh, rdp provides more security than LDM_DIRECTX, session persistence between disconnects are few reasons
09:19
sbalneav, few more here :) http://en.opensuse.org/Nomad
09:21
<Gadi>
cyberorg: we should have a solution for localdev + RDP before Jaunty
09:22
it is independent of ldm
09:22
<cyberorg>
Gadi, we are just getting started http://groups.google.com/group/proj-uron :)
09:23
<Gadi>
uron?
09:23
<cyberorg>
if we do it independent of ldm we need to figure out another way of sending mount/umount commands from the client to the server
09:23
Gadi, ignore the misnomer :)
09:24
<Gadi>
cyberorg: its done - it just needs polishing
09:24
<cyberorg>
Gadi, where?
09:25
<Gadi>
lp:~gideon/ltsp/ltspfs-trunk-local
09:25
we'll run ltspfs on the client (along with ltspfsd)
09:26
then, you can simply: rdesktop -r disk:drives=/media ....
09:26
and ur done
09:27
<cyberorg>
oh, so we just add to screen.d/rdesktop script?
09:27
<Gadi>
no
09:27
in lts.conf:
09:27
SCREEN_07 = "rdesktop -r ...."
09:27
<cyberorg>
RDP_OPTIONS?
09:27
<Gadi>
or RDP_OPTIONS
09:27* Gadi prefers same line
09:28
<Gadi>
supports multiple rdesktop screens
09:28
we may hack the screen script to add those args automagically if LOCALDEV=True
09:28
so, you wouldn't need it
09:29
<cyberorg>
so ltspfs is called by udev script inside the client itself whenever usb is plugged?
09:29
<Gadi>
yup
09:29
it'll call both: ssh ... ltspfsmounter (for ldm)
09:29
AND: local: ltspfsmounter ....
09:29
for local connections

<cyberorg>
ok, so next job is exporting PULSE_SERVER, any suggestions for that?
09:30
<Gadi>
screen script
09:30
or better
09:30
xinitrc.d
09:30
that way, it is exported for all screen scripts
09:30
<cyberorg>
when does screen scripts get called when using rdesktop?
09:30dmhardison has joined #ltsp
09:31
<Gadi>
rdesktop is a screen script
09:31
<dmhardison>
Is there a way to resume a ltsp-build-client, it has given me an error about the username i specified during setup.
09:31
<Gadi>
SCREEN_07=rdesktop says: run: /usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/rdesktop
09:31
<dmhardison>
And the it quit.
09:32
<cyberorg>
i dont get when we export PULSE_SERVER
09:32
<Gadi>
dmhardison: I dont think so
09:32
dont worry - we may even take care of it already
09:32mikkel has joined #ltsp
09:32* Gadi needs to check latest upstream
09:33
<dmhardison>
err.
09:36
<cyberorg>
Gadi, it seems all the hard work is done by you already, we have 4 students for next 4 months tell us what "clean up/polish" you need done
09:36
<Gadi>
cyberorg: well, testing would be nice
09:36
:)
09:37
I have little time to test
09:37
<cyberorg>
i'll do that first thing tomorrow morning :)
09:37
<Gadi>
excellent!
09:37
basically, have them build ltspfs packages from that branch
09:37
<cyberorg>
we have rdp server working well, usb dont show up and sound plays on the server
09:37
<Gadi>
and then install ltspfs AND ltspfsd in the chroot

Morning! I have one local device (SD card in a camera or an SD reader) that doesn't work. Others do. I've tried partitioning it fat16 and fat32 -- anything I'm missing?
09:44
<sbalneav>
Blinny: does it mount if you plug it in to a regular desktop?
09:45
<Blinny>
sbalneav: Yes.
09:45
<sbalneav>
What does dmesg say about the device?
09:45
<Blinny>
sbalneav: Says the USB messages, but no sd messages. One second.
09:45
I'm trying a USB directly from camera to thin client now
09:46
<_UsUrPeR__>
warren: can I get the name/contact info of the developer that VIA just hired for open-sourcing?
09:46
<Blinny>
'new full speed device' then 'configuration 1 chosen from 1'
09:46
<sbalneav>
Why don't you paste everything to the pastebot?
09:47
!pastebot
09:47
<ltspbot>
sbalneav: "pastebot" is The LTSP pastebot is at http://pastebot.ltsp.org. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebot, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. A link to the content will be pasted in the channel.

cyberorg: So, this rdp thing runs as a proxy on top of x?
09:48
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, yes that is what i understand
09:48chrisinajar has quit IRC
09:48
<Blinny>
Any ideas how to paste from VT1 on a thin client to X session?
09:48
Maybe scp it to the server.
09:49
<sbalneav>
So, you're reducing wire bandwidth, at the expense of more cpu.
09:49
so, no different than something like nx
09:49chrisinajar has joined #ltsp
09:49
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, "Proxy X server" less resources usage
09:50
<sbalneav>
No, more resource usage.
09:50
How can you add something on top of X, but have it use less resources? It's impossible.
09:50
<edmar>
Hi, I'm newbie and brasilian, then I don't speak english very well. I just want to ask you about the Smart Card on LTSP. In my company I'd install PCSC package and when I run the pcsc_scan comand the SmartCard Reader is find on the server, but when I run on ThinClient the Reader is not localizated on local just when I connect to the server! How can I fix it!? How can I do to make Reader be finded on ThinClient? I use one Server (Ubuntu 8.04 + Ltsp 5) and 50 ter
09:50
minals.
09:51
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, it should be less than NX, but i really would like to see someone do benchmark (may be we'll do it as part of our project)
09:51
<sbalneav>
Well, what you save in one area, you spend in another.
09:51
so if you reduce the wire bandwidth, by doing a bunch of compression/proxying/magic tricks, you'll spend more CPU cycles.
09:52
There's no such thing as a free lunch :)
09:52
edmar: Are you talking smart cards for login? As in pam authentication with smart cards?
09:53
<Blinny>
!paste
09:53
<ltspbot>
Blinny: "paste" is try !pastebot
09:53
<Blinny>
!pastebot
09:53
<ltspbot>
Blinny: "pastebot" is The LTSP pastebot is at http://pastebot.ltsp.org. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebot, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. A link to the content will be pasted in the channel.
09:53
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, of course, but i would be happy if it is better performing than X over ssh/NX and provide more security than LDM_DIRECTX
09:54
<sbalneav>
Does X with LDM_DIRECTX perform well?
09:55
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, it may just be placebo :)
09:55
<edmar>
I'm talking about smart cards to authenticate files when I upload to a governamental system! Here, in Brazil is called "e-CPF or e-CNPJ". The reader is a GemPC Twin.
09:55
<sbalneav>
edmar: We don't currently support any kind of smart card authentication in LTSP.
09:57
<alkisg>
sbalneav: happy new year! May I ask why the "No response from server, restarting..." timeout in sshutils.c is set to 30 seconds? Isn't it a little high?
09:57
<ltsppbot>
"Blinny" pasted "dmesg for local SD card device" (26 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/155
09:57
<sbalneav>
cyberorg: Well, all I'm saying is, if LDM_DIRECTX performs well, but you want more security, there's other things you can look at, like using ssh, but using a much simpler cypher. But, if LDM_DIRECTX is your "upper bound" on performance, and ldm + ssh is your "lower bound", then the rdp's going to be somewhere in the middle.
09:58
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, there is also session persistence that is not available normally
09:58
<sbalneav>
alkisg: I think I set it to 30 seconds because some ldap+ssh stuff has long timeouts.
09:58
<Gadi>
sbalneav: I believe Nomad uses an Xproxy that has acceleration
09:59
and bypasses rdp bitmapping in the presence of an X server
09:59
<sbalneav>
accelleration COSTS.
09:59
It doesn't come FOR FREE!
09:59
<Gadi>
hardware acceleration
09:59
yes, it does
09:59
:)
09:59
<edmar>
sbalneav: Oh no. Ok, no problem! Can you tell me if I can redirect the port USB to the reader? e. g. When the user on station type the pcsc_scan command, the system redirect the reader to Station's USB port. (Sorry about my english...lololo)
09:59
<Gadi>
unlike ssh's built-in proxy that has no acceleration
10:00
<sbalneav>
Please explain to me how accelleration comes for free.
10:00
<Gadi>
because it is using the video driver's hardware acceleration on the client (as when you talk to the Xserver directly)
10:01
<sbalneav>
edmar: You'd need something like the remote USB stuff that some people were working on, but that projects been dead for a while, I think (search for usb_ip)
10:01
<Gadi>
ssh's xproxy is very rudimentary
10:01
as it is not really intended for anything but simple remote use
10:02
<cyberorg>
sbalneav, usb_ip is dead, it does not compile on latest kernel
10:02
<sbalneav>
that's what I said.
10:02
Gadi: It's still not free: now you have to send MORE STUFF over the wire.
10:02
<Gadi>
depends
10:02
sometimes you send less
10:03topslakr has quit IRC
10:03
<Gadi>
because the rendering happens on the client
10:03
<sbalneav>
It may be BETTER than the ssh X proxy, but it's NOT going to be better than just straight remote X
10:03
that's my point.
10:03
Plus, there's going to HAVE to be increased server CPU usage, to determine what can be handed off, etc.
10:04
<edmar>
sbalneav: Thanks for help! Now I go to search about it! Then I can use one computer like a "usb server", but the stations will search to ip?
10:05
<sbalneav>
edmar: the project is dead, and doesn't work. So you'd have to try to make it work, via hacking the kernel.
10:06
<Blinny>
sbalneav: I've gotta change terminals - did you get the paste?
10:07
<sbalneav>
That's on the server, right?
10:07
<Blinny>
No that's the VT on the client
10:07
<sbalneav>
or on the client?
10:07
hm, looks like udev's recognizing it as a disk then.
10:07
<edmar>
sbalneav: OK! I will stud about it. If I have sucess about it I will send you, ok! Thank U so much!
10:08
<Blinny>
Looks like udev is recognizing the reader as a disk even before I put the SD card in
10:08
<sbalneav>
I'm not sure what the latest udev rules are for ltspfs, as lots of people have twiddled with that bit, so I don't know why the rule isn't firing.
10:08
<Blinny>
This is Hardy btw
10:09
Any idea who would? Or where I could look up such info?
10:10
<sbalneav>
What does your udev rule look like on the client?
10:10
<Blinny>
Where is that located?
10:11
<sbalneav>

Hi all, Is there a complete list of the distro's that have integrated LTSP support? Looking at ltsp.org and the wiki, I don't see it.
10:18
<sbalneav>
Docs have it.
10:18
!docs
10:18
<ltspbot>
sbalneav: "docs" is For the most current documentation, see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
10:19* tobor stares cyncially at the url ..... and decides to mellow out and check it out.. ;-)
10:19
<sbalneav>
You can be as cynincal as you like.
10:20
Doesn't affect me at all.
10:20
<tobor>
I know. :-)
10:21
sbalneav: that was only a reflection on me.
10:21
not you.
10:21
I found a list in the document here: Here : http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#installation
10:25
It lists Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuse and Fedora. Only four, but certainly the top four "OPEN" distro's
10:26
Would be nice if Redhat put it in their official product, but...
10:27
sbalneav: As far as you know (and who better?) thats the complete list right?
10:27Blinny has joined #ltsp

tobor, there is gentoo and alt linux from russia
10:29
<Blinny>
sbalneav: Ah ha!
10:29
If the SD card is in the reader when it is inserted, it works
10:30
AND, this issue actually may depend on the thin client's architecture - This is a newer laptop thin client I'm on.
10:32
<sbalneav>
Blinny: So, the reader probably doesn't have the "smarts" in it to recognize a card insertion, and issue a signal.

<olalin>
In kiwi.ltsp default install, all user have access to all directorys. why?
11:00
<cyberorg>
olalin, except for the ~/Documents
11:01
<sbalneav>
olalin: Well, that's a permissions issue. You'd need to change permissions on home directories.
11:01
<olalin>
how can I change that?
11:02
<sbalneav>
That's not really an LTSP issue, it's more of a general Unix/Linux admin issue.
11:02
<olalin>
like chmod 755?
11:02
<jammcq>
sbalneav: Scotty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:03
<johnny>
cyberorg, you let other users see what is in other people's /home ?
11:03
<sbalneav>
Hey jammcq
11:04
olalin: Well, if you want to keep other people out, you'd want something like chmod 700
11:04
<olalin>
chmod -R 700 /home/ ?
11:05
<sbalneav>
olalin:
11:05
no
11:06
<olalin>
I want the students to hawe access only on their own directory!
11:06
<alkisg>
olalin: I don't know about kiwi.ltsp, but let me tell you where it is in Ubuntu and maybe you can find something similar: file /etc/adduser.conf, line: DIR_MODE=0755
11:06
<olalin>
Ok!
11:06
<jammcq>
but that's only for new uses created AFTER making that change
11:06
<sbalneav>
But you'll have to change the existing ones.
11:07
<jammcq>
s/uses/users/
11:07
and definately don't do '-R'
11:07
<alkisg>
sbalneav: I have ldm 2:2.0.14-0ubuntu1 (intrepid). If someone keeps entering wrong username or password, he has to wait 2 secs the first time, 2 secs the second time, and 30 secs the third time. I can understand 30 seconds as a timeout, but does it have to also apply for wrong credentials?
11:08
<johnny>
let cyberorg answer the questions on this one probably..
11:08
there might be a reason for such

11:09
<jammcq>
yeah, you too my friend
11:09
<ogra>
there seem to have been some issues with the ltsp mailserver
11:09
<jammcq>
oh?
11:10
we had some internet outage last week
11:10
or 2 weeks ago
11:10
<ogra>
ah
11:11
yeah, my answer to the logo contest mail did produce a bunch of error messages
11:11
<jammcq>
hmm
11:11
dunno why that would be
11:11
the outage was resolved before that
11:12
<ogra>
i just forwarded one of them
11:12
jam@Ltsp.org
11:12
Delay reason: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<jam@Ltsp.org>:
11:12
host www.ltsp.org [70.91.230.211]: 450 Server configuration problem
11:12
<sbalneav>
alkisg: Well, unfortunately, since I have to screen scrape from the ssh session, it's kind hard to "tell" when the ssh session has ended.
11:12vvinet has joined #ltsp
11:12
<jammcq>
that might be greylisting causing a short delay
11:13
<ogra>
ah
11:13
<sbalneav>
So a timeout of 30 seconds was selected. Certainly, if you'd like it shorter, then recompile the package with a shorter delay.
11:14
One supposes there should be an ldm.conf file or the like where you could configure that. But there isn't :)
11:14
<alkisg>
sbalneav: I thought ldm spawned ssh, so it may be able to understand when it finished... Of course the delay would have to be lowered to e.g. 2 seconds and the function called over and over again if ssh isn't really terminated. Hm... I'm not expressing this well, let me see the code and talk with specific parts of the code...
11:15olalin has quit IRC
11:15
<jammcq>
or.... you could just train your users to enter the right password
11:16
<alkisg>
jammcq: you're welcome to come and try to teach my 12-year old students that have to learn + enter a password for the first time in their lives...
11:16
sbalneav: sshutils, function expect, line: st = select(FD_SETSIZE, &set, NULL, NULL, &timeout);
11:17
<jammcq>
12-year olds? They are ready to be hackers at that point
11:17
<six2one>
LOL, thats true
11:17
<sbalneav>
alkisg: yeah, I know, there's a 30 second timeout.
11:18
<alkisg>
I'm proposing for the timeout to be 30 seconds, but split in 2 second calls
11:18* jammcq agrees with sbalneav. It would be nice if it were configurable in /etc/ldm.conf
11:18
<alkisg>
I don't think configuration is needed if what I'm thinking is implementable
11:18
<ogra>
isnt that depending on ssh ?
11:19
<alkisg>
So it'll always be st = select(FD_SETSIZE, &set, NULL, NULL, 2); //timeout = always 2, and for timeout=30 loop 15 times
11:19
This way the expect function can see an global variable "ssh_is_terminated_dont_wait_any_longer"
11:20
which will be set to true after ldm realizes that the spawned ssh is terminated
11:20
<sbalneav>
That's the way it is upstream
11:20
You're on hardy?
11:20
<alkisg>
No, intrepid
11:20
Still have to wait 30 seconds for wrong passwords
11:21
<sbalneav>
The problem really is, we need proper signal handling to detect when the ssh dies.
11:21
there should be a proper glib mainline.
11:21
<alkisg>
sbalneav: why? can't you tell when a spawned process finishes?
11:21
<sbalneav>
Nope, not currently.

The newer upstream version of ldm (ldm trunk) is much better, and handles this much more efficiently.

11:24

You might want to look at backporting that to intrepid.

hi all. does this sound like it would be somewhat functional: i have a laptop w/ a dead cdrom, and a ltsp server handy, and need to install ubuntu or debian on the laptop. pxeboot the lap as an ltsp client, log into it, partition, mk3efs and debootstrap a filesystem in, then set grub up??
12:39

shogunx: ltsp is kind of overkill for that
12:39

just use the netinstall stuff..

Hi, I just installed ltsp on an Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 system. Now when I'm trying to create the thin client environment (ltsp-build-client --arch i386) I got the error "E: Failed getting release file http://...". That was probably because the WAN cable was unplugged, but now when I try it again it says: "/opt/ltsp/i386 already exists, please remove it... exiting". The thing is that /opt/ltsp/i386 doesn't even exists. Any idea
