Hello , Sometimes users have to wait 3-7mins to login. They enter user and pass , screen goes black and cursor shows.
03:57
Any idea on what can be the cause? How we can improve the login time?
03:57
I dont think it's bw problem , there's 1gbit between the server and client switch

hello
05:33eghie is now known as Eghie
05:34
<Eghie>
where can I find the protocol definition, which is used by, student-control-panel, scp-remote, and stuff?
05:34
because I want to write an application which does session management on LTSP servers
05:46F-GT has quit IRC
05:57pdjbarber has quit IRC
06:04
<Appiah>
cyberorg yes but then check what?
06:06
<cyberorg>
Appiah, if that takes as long?
06:06
<Appiah>
oh
06:07
thats one thing
06:07
Eghie: by protocol definition , do you mean it uses these ports and these TCP protocols?
06:08
Session Management would be a nice
06:08
<ogra>
Eghie, have a look at python-tcm iirc it uses that module to make scp-remote and scp-client talk
06:09
<Eghie>
well, the hardcore RAW protocol I don't need, but the protocol it is using, which programs on the remote client it starts and ports and stuff like that
06:10
I shall take a look at that
06:18
<Appiah>
Eghie: if you start writing such a application I'll be glad to test it!
06:19
<Eghie>
it's a JAVA daemon
06:19
<Appiah>
oooh
06:19
<Eghie>
so no user interface
06:20
it's to control internet cafe's who are using LTSP
06:20
so to sell time and stuff
06:21
it already works for Nomachine NX, now to make an extension using LTSP
06:24
<Appiah>
nice

stgraber: FYI: I just filed this bug with gnome's bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567499
08:41
Hopefully, it will fix the bug preventing us from doing the localapps menu more properly
08:42
<ogra>
hmm ?
08:42
works here
08:43

ogra: interpid?

08:45
<Gadi>
heh, well I know that's not true
08:45
hence the bug reports
08:45
:)
08:45
<ogra>
well, i tried it recently with stgraber and back then it worked
08:45
<Gadi>
not *adding* a menu, but overriding the existing menu
08:46
it for sure fails on hardy and intrepid

hmm
08:59
worked for me, too now
08:59
weird
09:00
I *know* it didnt work before - otherwise, we would have implemented the LOCAL_APPS_MENU code the proper way to begin with
09:00
:P
09:00
<Q-FUNK>
heh
09:01

Maybe some update fixed it... :)

About once per day, a couple of my TCs hang completely (no caps lock, reisub, nothing). Can bad cabling cause this? I have gigabit network with old, cat 5 utp cables...
09:06
<Gadi>
ok, changed the bug report to fixed :P
09:06

Anyone tried LTSP-Cluster on 8.10 ?
09:06
is it safe/stable ?

When you were here in Mpls. in '06, you mentioned you had a bunch of LCD monitors that were blowing their capacitors
09:29
<Q-FUNK>
17:30 here. happy hour has started. that works :)
09:29
<pscheie>
and how just replacing those fixed them
09:30
<sbalneav>
Perfect. I'm a man of the world.
09:30
Ahh, caps.
09:30
<jammcq>
any day Scotty can get his soldering iron plugged in is a good day :)
09:30
<pscheie>
my dad's 6 year old LCD went out over the weekend; I took it apart, and sure enough, it had two bulging caps
09:30nicoAMG has joined #ltsp
09:30
<pscheie>
replaced 'em for about $4, and it's as good as new
09:30
<sbalneav>
It's a good day when I can break out the soldering iron, and save Legal Aid $200 bucks with a .30 cent cap.
09:30
Perfect.
09:31
And your dad figgurs you're a hero now.
09:31
<pscheie>
yep!
09:31
<sbalneav>
Bonus.
09:31
jammcq: Morning!
09:31
<pscheie>
He'd already bought a new one, I took the old one, figured I had nothing to lose by tearing it apart
09:31
<sbalneav>
Cold enough for you?
09:32
pscheie: You back to the deep freeze down there?
09:32
<jammcq>
sbalneav: hey hey
09:32
<pscheie>
sbalneav, not too bad, probalby abou 15 degress F, but it's snowing to beat the band ATM
09:32
good thing I rode the bus to work today
09:34* pscheie should really learn to 'know' temps in Celsius

I love what that chart says about -20C and -30C
09:47
<cliebow>
sbalneva 20 46-4.6 is 41.4 degrees below freezing...fahrenheit
09:47
<jammcq>
huh?
09:48
-40C = -40F
09:49Q-FUNK has quit IRC
09:49
<cliebow>
-40c is 80 -8=72 degrees fahrenheit below freezing
09:50
so -40f
09:50

ah, you are saying "below freezing". I'm thining "below zero"

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 to host Ubuntu LTSP. I use Dvorak, my users don't. When I specify XKBLAYOUT = us in lts.conf the layout on the netbooted system is still Dvorak (for rdesktop). I'm going to attempt to change the layout by chrooting to the client image. Where does Ubuntu keep the default keyboard layout setting?
10:51
<alkisg>
Daemonik: I think you should also specify CONFIGURE_X=True in lts.conf.
10:52
To modify the layout in the chroot, give dpkg-reconfigure console-setup in the chroot.

<Daemonik>
alkisg, Thank you. I'll try that.
10:55
I see no mention of configure_x here http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html Is this documentation out of date?
10:55
<alkisg>
Yes... :(
10:55
!lts.conf
10:55
<ltspbot`>
alkisg: "lts.conf" is http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtsConf
10:56
<alkisg>
Is the current documentation, but I don't know if CONFIGURE_X is there
10:56
CONFIGURE_X only applied for some LTSP versions (including the one in 8.10).
10:56
For older or newer versions it's not needed
10:58
<Daemonik>
No, configure_x is not there
10:58
hm
10:58
There's a newer version than 8.10?
10:59
<alkisg>
Not newer Ubuntu version, but newer ltsp version, sure! :)

Hmmm..... I guess I'll have to try with different cables, to see if it solves the problem. Thanks!
11:36
<sbalneav>
Wires are cheap: if you think it might be networking, just replace ;'em
11:37
also, see if there's any BIOS updates for the mobos
11:37artista_frustrad has quit IRC
11:37
<sbalneav>
I've seen ACPI issues, or bios issues hang mobos solid.
11:37
<alkisg>
It's the whole wiring; the guy that put them into the rack didn't do a good job, neither in the plugs, and the wires are cat5...
11:38
They're rather old, so I guess there are ACPI problems; e.g. they don't shutoff (I guess it can be solved with some kernel parameters, but I didn't have time to look into it)

Running Hardy Heron - I'd like to set up a guest account for students, but not have that account be accessible from the outside world via SSH. How do you disable this one account's external ssh access without affecting LTSP ?
13:04
<Lns>
Blinny: you need SSH access from outside for other accounts?
13:04
<johnny>
ssh has AllowGroups and AllowUsers options
13:04
<Lns>
johnny: oooo
13:04
<johnny>
oh..
13:05
but you need that for ltsp itself
13:05
hmm..
13:05
<Blinny>
Lns: Yes.
13:05
johnny: Bingo
13:05
<johnny>
firewall port 22 except from group
13:05
on the external interface
13:05
oh.. wait.. incoming..
13:05
:(
13:05
use ssh keys?
13:06
<Blinny>
I recall a discussing about this on ltsp-discuss but I can't find it in the archives.
13:06
<johnny>
that's what i do.. no login from any accounts possible
13:06
except with the ssh key
13:06
that is autogenerated
13:07
<Blinny>
Yuck
13:08
<johnny>
hmm?
13:08
how is that yuck :)
13:08
then again
13:08
my use case is anonymous logins
13:08
i actually tried the default user/pass == host.. but got remote logged within a few days
13:09
with an irc bouncer running
13:09
so i just setup the ssh keys for login.. made things easier.. and secure

Blinny: I think you may use iptables to cut all ssh traffic for the specific users with target ip <> local network
13:24
Don't ask me about the syntax, though! :)
13:26
<Blinny>
iptables is packet-level not user level though
13:27
<johnny>
you can check user on the way out.. just not the way in
13:27

kc8pxy: dnsmasq is really the one-stop shop for LTSP.
15:41
kc8pxy: use all the features available ...
15:42
kc8pxy: there are some minor bugs with the tftp server and the hackish was the initramfs figures out how to download lts.conf ... if you need that feature, you might have to tweak things a little
15:42six2one has quit IRC
15:42
<moldy>
oh, that sounds interesting
15:42
could that explain why my lts.conf from tftpboot is apparently never used?
15:42
<vagrantc>
if you're using dnsmasq, yes.
15:43
<moldy>
i do. interesting.
15:43
<vagrantc>
not sure if it's fixed in newer versions of dnsmasq or not.
15:43
<moldy>
but it's a bug in the tftp server, not in dnsmasq?
15:44
<vagrantc>
moldy: it's a bug in the tftp server that is part of dnsmasq.
15:44
moldy: so if you're using dnsmasq just for dhcp, then it isn't your problem.
15:44
moldy: if you're using dnsmasq *as* a tftp server, then it might be your problem,.
15:46
moldy: do you have tftp options in your /etc/dnsmasq.conf ?
15:46
<moldy>
hm

i am using a dedicated tftp server i think

15:49
which should be the default...
15:49
<moldy>
funny, the port is closed on my server
15:49
ahh, it's run from inetd?
15:49
it's been some time since i did that install :)
15:49
<vagrantc>
yes. though inetd should be holding the port open
15:50
<moldy>
port is closed here, but my clients boot
15:50

sure it's booting off of that server?

vagrantc: this is my first ltsp server install.. trying to get the shop running ltsp

but this is my dev box.
16:18
<vagrantc>
kc8pxy: in virtualbox, you can use NAT, Host Interface, or Internal Network configured for each network card, which is your vbox configured to use?
16:19
<kc8pxy>
host interface
16:20
<vagrantc>
and how is that configured?
16:20
<kc8pxy>
vagrantc: i pugraded to 2.1.0 so i can NOT have to use tapX, it's using eth0
16:21

ah, no idea then.
16:21* vagrantc is using 1.6.6
16:21* kc8pxy was using 1.6.6 also.

but no need to shut down properly

welcome to the cloud, ladies and gents
17:38

ok, that might be right. i want the client to logout the user when the power button is pressed.

there ya go

there's the entreprenuerial spirit!
17:40

still, it would be very worthwhile not having to press the power button for forever and a day to shut the client down :)

btw, i am having the same problem on two different clients

(I likesaying that)
17:42
<moldy>
and i am pretty sure that it was working at some point
17:42

do any clients work as advertised?
17:42
<moldy>
i have only tested the atom clients and a gigabyte client. both of them don't work.

if not, sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 dpkg -l acpid

so far my vote would go to sbalneav

on the logo contests that is
18:04
<Gadi>
moldy: sorry - yeah, sounds like acpi is not running by default
18:04
<moldy>
Gadi: how do i change that? update-rc.d tells me that links for acpid already exist, but i don't see them in the filesystem
18:04
<Gadi>
you prolly didnt have /proc mounted in the chroot when it installed, so it didn't set up the rc.d files
18:05
did you do that in the chroot?
18:05
(update-rc.d)
18:05
<moldy>
yep
18:05
<Gadi>
you should be able to do a "remove" and then add them back
18:05
update-rc.d -f remove acpid
18:06
(or acpid remove - I never remember)
