[non-ltsp-related, just need an experienced opinion]: I reboot my laptop e.g. 5 times per day. The default max-mount-counts (from tune2fs -c) is e.g. 25, so fsck runs about once every 5 days. Should I increase that, and to what number? (e.g. every 150 mounts=about once per month?)

alkisg, i would disable it permanently and just let it run when there is abrupt shutdown
03:04
<alkisg>
cyberorg: wow, thanks! I've put a grub entry for manual fsck checking, so I'll disable it and use that when I open the laptop and have the time to wait for it... :)

<jackli>
hi,everybody.
07:31
Hi,alkisg
07:31
<alkisg>
Hey jackli, what's up?
07:32
<jackli>
alkisg:hehe.
07:33
I run /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server manually everytime.what's simplest way to let it run automatically?
07:33
rc.local or add the script to session or others?
07:34
<alkisg>
Goto menu system => administration => services and see if it's enabled
07:35
<jackli>
alkisg:ok,thank you.I'll check it.
07:36
alkisg:In my ubuntu 8.10 box,It cannot save the ethernet settings.do you have this question?
07:36
I use netmanager 0.7.
07:38
<alkisg>
jackli: there were some known problems with networkmanager not saving the configuration, is this the ltsp server? If so, and it has a static IP, the simplest thing would be to uninstall nm...
07:39
<jackli>
alkisg:Yes,it is in ltsp server.
07:39
<alkisg>
So you don't really need the network manager, do you?
07:40
You could just put you static ip in /etc/network/interfaces...
07:40
<jackli>
alkisg:yes,but I found networkmanager is so simple to set the ip address.
07:41
<alkisg>
OK, look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/284298
07:42
So you should just use a newer version, which is not available in the standard repositories yet, so you should use a ppa.
07:43
<jackli>
alkisg:ok.
07:43
alkisg:I'd like to know one of your ltsp server supports how many clients?
07:43
I decide to buy a pc and make it as ltsp server.
07:43
<alkisg>
It depends on the usage. For OpenOffice, one simple server could support many dozens of clients (e.g. 50), but for multimedia applications it could even be less than 10.
07:44
How many clients do you have, and what usage do you expect?
07:44
<jackli>
30
07:45
<alkisg>
And typical usage? Any multimedia applications, like flash?
07:45
<jackli>
After I boot 10 clients,the speed is so slow.
07:45
<alkisg>
Do you have gigabit networking? Is your network max'ed out? Or your CPU?
07:45
<jackli>
yes,students use firefox.
07:46
I installed the ubuntu box in VMware workstation.
07:46
<alkisg>
E.g. if 10 students go to yourtube, you'll have CPU problems, flash is very badly implemented in linux
07:47
Well, try "iptraf" or "iftop" to monitor the network bandwidth, "top" to monitor the CPU/RAM usage etc. and to find out which is your bottleneck.
07:47
Did you set LDM_DIRECTX=True in lts.conf?
07:48
<jackli>
alkisg:I cannot find the lts.conf?
07:48
<alkisg>
You need to create one.
07:48
!lts.conf
07:48
<ltspbot>
alkisg: "lts.conf" is http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtsConf
07:49
<jackli>
Thank you,alkisg and ltspbot.
07:49
<alkisg>
jackli: ltspbot is a program, not a person.

cliebow: some help for non-native english speakers? What is "birdy overload"?!!!
07:52
<jackli>
cliebow:Maybe you are right,but I dont think so.because I also known much about the linux.
07:52
cliebow:just not much about ltsp and italc.
07:54
cliebow:I did the tests and read some materials on internet.and then communicate with dear friends.
07:57

Hi
08:27
Does someone here know how ldm/ltspfs creates the socket /var/run/ldm_socket... to enable usb device to be mounted ?
08:29
<Gadi>
Guest62686: it happens upon login through ldm
08:29
it runs: ssh -Y -M -S $LDM_SOCKET ....
08:30rootchick has joined #ltsp

<alkisg>
Gadi: hi, two questions, please? (1) is CONFIGURE_X needed for all those new XRANDR* lts.conf entries? and (2) Can I set the color depth to 16 bit with xrandr?
08:32
<Gadi>
1. No (in fact, CONFIGURE_X should be false, I believe
08:32
hmm...
08:32
wait, which code?
08:32
latest ltsp-trunk?
08:32
<alkisg>
Yeap...
08:32
<Gadi>
lemme look
08:32
<alkisg>
Or is it in testing phase?
08:33
<Gadi>
in latest, you shouldn't have to set CONFIGURE_X at all
08:33
it sets itself
08:33
<alkisg>
Ah!!!! So that's why it worked!!! :)
08:33
<Gadi>
but, lemme check one thing
08:33walter has joined #ltsp
08:33
<walter>
You guys
08:33
<alkisg>
(I've tried X_MODE_0 without CONFIGURE_X and it worked, and I wondered why...)
08:33
<Gadi>
btw: the answer to #2 is that XRANDR cannot set color depth
08:33
<Guest62686>
gadi : That's ok, but it don't know how to make the file /var/run/ldm_socket... be a socket
08:33
<alkisg>
So X_COLOR_DEPTH is needed...
08:34
<Gadi>
yeah
08:34
<alkisg>
Thanks Gadi
08:34
<walter>
I got an Ltsp setup of about 11 computers, and I am thinking what the best way is to recognize hosts (Ip Address or MAC and Hostname?)
08:34
<Gadi>
to force a color depth
08:34
<walter>
Currently I am binding IP address to Mac in dhcpd.conf, and MAC addresses to printers in lts.conf
08:34
<Gadi>
Guest62686: you dont
08:34
ldm does
08:34
<walter>
Would it be better to use a standard dhcpd.conf file, without binding, and using Hostnames instead of IP Addresses?
08:35
<Gadi>
walter: using mac addresses in lts.conf is usually the best as there is no ambiguity
08:35
<Guest62686>
Gadi : In fact, I need to use freenx instead of ldm (because of network bandwidth unsufficient for 60 clients
08:36
I looked at ldm sources, but don't find which commands and variables are nedded to create this socket on this file.
08:36
<Gadi>
Guest62686: have you tried setting NETWORK_COMPRESSION in lts.conf? (not sure if it works, but I think it is a param)
08:36
<alkisg>
walter: I think you can also map the printers to IPs with /etc/ethers
08:37
<Guest62686>
(after this, I think ltspfs_entry will work
08:37
<Gadi>
Guest62686: ssh creates the socket
08:37
<walter>
Gadi I'm doing just that. But Cups will ask me a specific IP Address or hostname for a specific printer. Right now I'm giving it an IP Address, which is binded in dhcpd.conf. Should I give it a hostname instead, use a standard dhcpd.conf, without binding? But then again, how do I bind a hostname to a Mac address?
08:37
<Gadi>
so, you would have to hack "nxssh"
08:37
<walter>
alkisg last message applies to you too ;)
08:37
<cyberorg>
Gadi, i've got a good news and a bad news, which one you want first :)
08:38
<Gadi>
walter: keep doing what ur doing
08:38
if you want to map ips to hosts, do so in DNS
08:38
but, no need for printers
08:38
<Guest62686>
Do you know the command line to attach the socket to this file ?
08:38
<Gadi>
unless you expect to change IP addressing aroound more
08:39
Guest62686: ssh -M -S <filename> ...
08:39
Guest62686: that will create the socket file
08:39
<walter>
Gadi No, I amn't expecting to change Ip addresses. It's just, dhcpd.conf gets overwritten at times, in KIWI-Ltsp, and I was wondering if hostnaming and dns is better than using binded Ip Addresses
08:40
<Guest62686>
Gadi : what are the ... ? (sockets are something really new for me)
08:40
<Gadi>
walter: do you want dhcpd.conf to be overwritten?
08:40
you can always make it immutable
08:40
:)
08:40
<walter>
cyberorg this was all started by you suggesting to stop binding IP Addresses, by the way ;)
08:40
<Gadi>
Guest62686: ... just means the rest of the ssh command
08:41
<cyberorg>
walter, we agreed to carry on doing that as there is no other alternative?
08:41
<walter>
Gadi No I really don't want to, but it happened twice already, and I'm a little tired of replacing it and restarting dhcpd
08:41
<Gadi>
so, say you ssh into localhost
08:41olalin has joined #ltsp
08:41
<alkisg>
Gadi: how can I make /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default immutable? It gets overwritten... :)
08:41
<Gadi>
ssh -M -S /tmp/blah localhost
08:41
creates a socket file in /tmp/blah
08:41
<cyberorg>
walter, use chattr to not let dhcpd.conf get replaced by mistake
08:41
<Gadi>
alkisg: chattr -i
08:41
or +i
08:41
hmm...
08:41* Gadi is getting old
08:42
<walter>
cyberorg but I started thinking. How about I use a standard dhcpd.conf, and bind a Mac Address to a Hostname? How could I do that? Would it be better?
08:42* alkisg has a lot to read about linux... :(
08:42
<cyberorg>
walter, no, binding mac in dhcpd is good enough
08:42
<Guest62686>
Gady : but ssh needs a password (and in this case root password). I think it's not a good idea to put it in a file
08:43
<Gadi>
Guest62686: ok. lets take this slowly
08:43
ldm collects username and password
08:43
<walter>
cyberorg awright, but generally speaking, if I wanna bind Hostnames too, should I just use /etc/hosts, or use a nameserver (probably no real need to), or anything else?
08:43
<Gadi>
then executes ssh -M -S ... to create an ssh tunnel and corresponding socket file
08:43
<Guest62686>
gadi : ldm doesn't collect anything... that's nx
08:43
collect nothing, sorry
08:43
<Gadi>
I am telling you what ldm *does*
08:43
<Guest62686>
ok
08:43
<Gadi>
and what you would need to make nx *do*
08:44
<cyberorg>
walter, just copy over lts.conf from one of the clients to the server
08:44
<Gadi>
I cannot help you hack nx
08:44
:)
08:44
I can only tell you what ldm does
08:44
<Guest62686>
I can try t do it (wa can hope !)
08:44
<Gadi>
and what you are trying to reproduce
08:44
<cyberorg>
walter, sorry /etc/hosts from the client
08:44
<Gadi>
cyberorg: whats the good news?
08:44
<walter>
cyberorg How does that? Yeah, awright. /etc/hosts. Makes more sense ;)
08:45* Gadi needs coffee....
08:45
<cyberorg>
Gadi, everything you have done worked fine :)
08:45
<Gadi>
ok, whats the bad news?
08:45jackli_ has joined #ltsp
08:46
<cyberorg>
it works as expected on vista rdp, the bad news is linux xrdp does not recognize disk:drive thing
08:46
<Gadi>
hmm... well, I guess that becomes an xrdp bug
08:46
Yay!
08:46
:)
08:47
<cyberorg>
no, that feature is not implemented yet
08:47
<Gadi>
ah, ok
08:47
<cyberorg>
and it looks like it wont be, that is why we would have to use ltspfs
08:47
<Gadi>
Guest62686: what distro are you on?
08:47
<walter>
Gadi cyberorg Thanks you guys. See ya later ;)
08:48
<Gadi>
cyberorg: wont be?
08:48
why?
08:48walter has quit IRC
08:48
<cyberorg>
Gadi, and another bad news is that none of xinitrc.d run when using rdesktop
08:49
<Gadi>
did you check ltsp-common-functions for run_parts_list
08:49
?
08:49
<cyberorg>
Gadi, i checked xrdp-devel archive, two people asked about it and there is dead silence, it is quite dead there
08:49
<Gadi>
thats never good
08:49
<cyberorg>
yes it has that
08:50
<Gadi>
how do you know it does not run?
08:50
<cyberorg>
LTSPFS_TOKEN, PULSE_SERVER etc is not set
08:51
<Gadi>
how did you check it?
08:51
they should only be set within the X environment
08:51
<cyberorg>
xprop -root | grep LTSP
08:51
<Gadi>
ah
08:52
from a shell do: export DISPLAY=:8; /usr/share/ltsp/xinitrc
08:52
and see if it returns an error
08:52jackli has quit IRC
08:52* Gadi gets a coffee meanwhile
08:53
<cyberorg>
Gadi, flooded your PM
08:56
<ltsppbot>
"cyberorg" pasted "Gadi: sh -x /usr/share/ltsp/xinitrc" (420 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/163
08:56
<cyberorg>
thats more interesting
08:59
<Gadi>
cyberorg: ok, just pushed a commit to silence that stuff
08:59
can you pull ltsp-trunk?
08:59
lets see if that fixes the xinitrc stuff for you
08:59
<cyberorg>
what about the reason for those scripts not being executed?
08:59
<Gadi>
it could be related
09:00
<cyberorg>
ok
09:00
<Gadi>
if a sourced file ends with a nonzero return, it causes the whole thing to fail
09:00
thats why you see || true in these kinds of scripts
09:00
<cyberorg>
yeah was just about to say that :)

i'm using rdesktop from the SCREEN_02 and on the windozz server i've set the screen saver not to turn on but after 10 mins the thin clients turn off their screens.
09:09
does anyone have addition data on this?
09:09
<cyberorg>
Gadi, one error is fixed, but still no LTSPFS_TOKEN
09:09
<zerocool>
i checked the ltsp wiki but the DPMs settings which are supposed to be enter in the lts.conf don't do a/t
09:14_UsUrPeR_ has joined #ltsp
09:23
<cyberorg>
Gadi, got it, everything runs as expected and LTSPFS_TOKEN is also set, but xprop in rdp session is not reading root window
09:23
DISPLAY=:8 xterm, and from there xprop -root | grep LTSP shows it set
09:24
is rdesktop client running on another root window?
09:27
Gadi, strangely DISPLAY=:10 xterm on the server launches xterm on the client
09:28
<alkisg>
wow, I'd like to be able to do that on purpose... :)
09:29
<cyberorg>
alkisg, use italc ;)
09:29
<alkisg>
Yeah, I do, but still, it would be nice... :)
09:32
It would enable scripting, e.g. stream a video to all clients with vlc, just by right clicking on it and selecting a nautilus script

<_UsUrPeR_>
gadi: no, this isn't an ltsp client issue. I have a laptop I want to consistently use an external monitor, but the only way I can get it to come on is with manual xrandr commands :/
10:36
I've tried setting a udev rule for it, as well as rc.local
10:36
neither seems to have an effect
10:43
<Gadi>
dont use udev
10:43
or rc.local
10:43
this is an X thing
10:43
it must be set within your X session
10:44
use the desktop tools
10:44
or add your xrandr commands to a session startup script
10:45
<_UsUrPeR_>
the problem is that the ubuntu screen resolution option will not detect the second monitor until I do the following: "xrandr --output TMDS-1 --auto"
10:45
gadi: ahh, that could work
10:45
the session startup script, that is

Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTSP ver 5

zerocool: sure - we added support for that variable only in the past few months - it may not be in that version
11:42
if you want to fix it, you can do this:
11:42
(fix it for your version, that is)
11:43
edit: /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/rdesktop
11:43
oh wait
11:43
ur on hardy....
11:43
ok
11:43
do this.
11:43
<zerocool>
yeah, that's right
11:44
<Gadi>
actually, can you paste: /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/rdesktop
11:44
!pastebin
11:44
<ltspbot>
Gadi: "pastebin" is try !pastebot
11:44

!pastebot
11:44

Gadi: "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.

11:51
<Gadi>
do that, and then change the line in the script you pasted from "/usr/bin/rdesktop to /usr/local/bin/rdesktop
11:51
and: sudo ltsp-update-image
11:51
does that make sense?
11:56
<zerocool>
kind of... not tracking with the "change the line in the script you pasted"...
11:56
<Gadi>
so the: /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/rdesktop
11:56
<zerocool>
yeah
11:56
<Gadi>
in that sript, there is a line that starts with "xinit"
11:56
and has:
11:57
/usr/bin/rdesktop
11:57
change that to read: /usr/local/bin/rdesktop
11:57
<zerocool>
tracking...
11:57
<Gadi>
that way it will call the new script that you are adding
11:57
which will both disable dpms (based on X_BLANKING) and run rdesktop
11:57
<zerocool>
ok grt. leme do that right now. one sec
12:00Lns has joined #ltsp
12:03
<zerocool>
ok, the beast came back up. so MF is waiting 10 mins to see if it dies.
12:03
<Gadi>
if it still does, check the screensaver setting in your Windows session
12:04
10 mins seems awfully long for dpms
12:05
<zerocool>
ok good. yeah, i did check that. in group policy i turned off the screensaver & it does not time out when i connect from a normal desktop so don't think that's an influence.
12:08
one think, kind of odd but when my rdesktop session was resumed it had "-f" in the username. I guess it's somewhere in the script u gave me that the username is past of "-f"
12:08
doing a man of rdesktop "-u" does this.
12:09
<Gadi>
oh, yeah
12:09
sorry
12:09
in the screen.d script, remove the line with -u ''
12:09
and add the: -u '' to the rdesktop line in the new script you added
12:10
(unfortunately, the -u '' needs to be inline with the rdesktop call
12:10
when passed as an argument, it drops the ''
12:10
so, it reads: -u -f
12:10
which sets the username to -f
12:10
:P
12:10
<zerocool>
and that would be on the last line?
12:11
before the $*
12:11
?

Gadi, I figured out why that xsession.d script for rsyncing my home directories made the x session crash--it was obliterating the .Xauthority file. Once I excluded that, it worked fine! Thanks!
14:06
<Guevara>
Gadi: i try put smbd: ip_users for block access internal network, but the system no block
14:06
i put in the hosts.deny file in /etc/hosts.deny
14:07
<rjune>
rootchick, w00t!

yes, indeed!!

is there a way to run an xsession script after logout? Back when I used kdm, there was xreset.

Guevara, don't ask the same question twice
14:19
it is annoying
14:19
Guevara, make sure your users are not all members of the same group
14:19
your members must have themselves as the primary group
14:20
<Guevara>
yes
14:20
<johnny>
so user foo, must be in group foo, as the main group
14:20
that is how it works in ubuntu by default
14:20
<Guevara>
each user is in your group
14:20
<johnny>
but is that their primary group?
14:21
<Guevara>
when user is create the group is the user
14:21
user pc01, group pc01, tou understand?
14:21
you*
14:22
users is not in the group of the server
14:22
but pendrive appears in all terminals
14:24
i post this http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-12/msg02597.html

<Guevara>
but the ids is fuse=107
14:30
the group is the same name as the user
14:30
=/
14:31
<johnny>
it must be the primary group..
14:31
not just be in the group
14:31
<Guevara>
what would be the primary group?
14:31
<johnny>
that is why you must paste the result of the command!
14:32
<Guevara>
=/
14:33
ok, when you get there what should I look for or change in the permissions?
14:33
i
14:33

just paste the result when you get there???
14:33
<Guevara>
ok
14:34
I also tried to block access to internal network putting smbd: all in hosts.deny file and did not work
14:36
<alkisg>
Guevara, yesterday rjune gave you the iptables line to prevent access to smb shares. You may find it at the logs.
14:37
<Guevara>
not burn logs here alkisg
14:37
<alkisg>
Look at the channel topic, there's a link to the logs
14:38
<Guevara>
where the link?
14:38
<alkisg>
IRC logs at: http://www.nubae.com/logs/,
14:38
<rjune>
iptables -m owner --help
14:38
iptables -m owner -A OUTPUT -j DROP --gid-owner STUDENT_GID
14:39
From a security perspective, you should do this:
14:39
iptables -m owner -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT --gid-owner TEACHER_GID
14:39
iptables -m owner -A OUTPUT -j DROP
14:39
<Guevara>
but users still accessing the Internet? rjune
14:39
<rjune>
that way only people in the TEACHER group can see the world
14:40
You might need to add --dport 138 or whatever smb is
14:40
the -m owner bits should be the strange parts. basic iptables usage is easy to find.
14:42
<Guevara>
i can't access the logs
14:43
i found
14:43

which ones?
14:44

14:53

he's saying you could find the docs by locate
14:53
<rjune>
look in LTSP_ROOT/etc
14:53* _UsUrPeR_ does that
14:53
<rjune>
see if there's something which is obviously the config file in there
14:55

For anyone interested, I filed this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/315300
19:19
<johnny>
filling there?
19:19
shouldn't you be filing upstream?
19:19
especially since that isn't an ubuntu bug
19:19
that's a general bug with ooo

<Lns>
I probably will, and will triage them
19:20
good point
19:22
<vagrantc>
this pixmap caching issue just keeps resurfacing
19:22
<Lns>
vagrantc: i know :(
19:23
even with nbdswap enabled its just too much for the poor clients to handle all at once
19:23
<vagrantc>
first, firefox ... and that was somewhat dealt with? then openoffice documents, which was also somewhat addressed ... now openoffice presenter ?
19:23
<Lns>
and those are just the most used apps
19:23
<vagrantc>
*sigh*
19:24
<Lns>
im sure its all over the place really
19:24
<vagrantc>
we need a propaganda campaign to discourage pixmap caching
19:24
<Lns>
or a mechanism to disallow it.. /ducks
19:24
<vagrantc>
or somehow get hooks into the libraries that implement that sort of thing, and optionally disable it
19:24
<Lns>
that would be sweeeet
19:25
<vagrantc>
anyways, off i go...
19:25
<Lns>
bye!

heya johnny
19:50
i ran into this issue
19:51
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf' in /etc/make.conf

<dberkholz>
sounds like you set up your layman to use a directory other than /usr/local/portage
20:09
<johnny>
dberkholz, the default changed.. many people seem to have the pre change version
20:09
i did force the version since the change
20:09
but seems like many have not merged their config files either
20:10
kc8pxy, you need to move layman to /usr/local/portage/layman, as the newer versions suggest
20:19
<kc8pxy>
bbiab.. leaving the shop.

hi room, is there any build_initramfs script available to build initramfs for ltsp 5
23:43rcy has joined #ltsp
23:44
<zer0c00l>
how can i make custom kernel for ltsp5
23:45
<Ryan52>
put it wherever your tftp stuff hides ("/var/lib/tftpboot"?)
23:45
there should already be one there.
23:46
don't overwrite it, i think it's automajically put there...:p. so put it somewhere else and update your syslinux/whatever configs.
23:48
<zer0c00l>
i need to add some wireless network drivers to the ramdisk.......how can i do that
23:51
<kc8pxy>
zer0c00l: imho, i would not trust a ltsp client to run it's link on wifi
23:51
<alkisg>
zer0c00l: I *think* you put them to /opt/ltsp/i386/share/initramfs-tools/modules and then run chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ && usr/sbin/update-initramfs
23:53
<Ryan52>
isn't there some ltsp-update-blah script that you gotta run or something? (/me is clueless, btw)
23:53
<zer0c00l>
kc8pxyo:i am not going to use boot from lan,
23:53
alkisg: ok
23:53
<alkisg>
Ryan52: I think for the kernels ltsp-update-image is not needed
23:53
<zer0c00l>
let be try
23:54
<alkisg>
There is ltsp-update-kernels that copies them to /var/lib/tftpboot...
23:55
<Ryan52>
ya, that's what I was thinking of ... is that needed? :p
23:55
<alkisg>
Yep... to copy the kernels from the chroot to the tftp dir, you're right
23:57
<zer0c00l>
what i have done so far is i copied the kernel and ramdisk of k12 ltsp and put them inside /tftpboot directory also used the i386 of k12 ltsp
23:57
it work for me......
23:57
but i am lot able to login
23:57
i enabled xdm through kdm
23:57
and using X -query <ip> :1
23:57
command to get the kdm
23:58
from ltsp client

23:59
<Ryan52>

23:59
<zer0c00l>
do i miss something
23:59
<alkisg>
