stgraber: still here?
00:54
iTalc runs fine for vbox + 1 client I have here at home. But I think you should also include the hostname in the avahi service name, e.g. someone may run italc in standalone (or fat) clients with local user accounds, so usernames may not be unique in a local network...
00:54
Also, if you used the hostname, you would be able to reuse it while generating the ./italc/globalconfig.xml file - now it only contains "client0" "client1" etc

Anyone tried vmware ltsp clients? Do they have graphics acceleration out of the box? ('cause I didn't manage to install vbox additions to the clients)

Hi, in my network all my users have their own directory on a windows server. I have created them the same login/pass account on LTSP than on their own windows share
03:18
How could I automount heir windows share on the client desktop ?
03:19
<cyberorg>
Remaille, use pam_mount is all i know about it
03:19
<Remaille>
I think, i would need to catch their login/pass and send it to automount
03:19
cyberorg, pam_mount ? I check thanks
03:20
yes that seems to do this job !
03:20
thanks

hi, dunno if this is ubuntu or virtualbox related issue, but anyway:
04:50
I'm trying to set up ltsp server and clients on same physical machine using virtualbox
04:50
dhcp works fine, but nbd/client stops and says: read failed: inappropriate ioctl for device
04:52
<Appiah_>
I been testing LTSP in virtualbox without problems
04:52
nbd client error message is common even for working LTSP solutions
04:52
<Taneli>
with ubuntu 8.10?
04:52
<Appiah_>
yupp
04:52
<Taneli>
d'oh
04:53
<Appiah_>
It's not the nbd client having a problem
04:53
usally something else
04:53
like ldm not launching
04:53
<Taneli>
I mean the client starts loading but ends up with stuff like "Error: Ioctl/1.1a failed: Bad file descriptor"
04:53
<Appiah_>
yes but it says on all ltsp setups
04:53
says so*
04:53
that I have
04:54
they still work
04:54
<Taneli>
mmmh
04:54
<Appiah_>
do you have something in your lts.conf?
04:54
<Taneli>
good question :)
04:55
where does it exist by default?
04:55
(just started with ltsp today)
04:55
<Appiah_>
oh
04:56
<Taneli>
done so far: set up server, tweaked dhcpd.conf, tried booting client -> fail :)
04:57
<Appiah_>
try deleeting the client chroot and building it again
04:57
<Taneli>
ok
05:04
totally off-topic but imo vbox networking has gone more and more unstable
05:05
<Appiah_>
never had a network scenario in vbox that did not work for me
05:07
<Taneli>
well yeah, it's more probably ubuntu or just me

Hi! I have installed ubuntu-8.04 LTS server and ltsp 5 on the server. I have the clients booting fine. I am trying to configure a dotmatrix printer connected to the client, there is no error message displayed but when I try to print a test page nothing happens. Could someone help me on where I could be going wrong?

can some one help me with the the printer configuration problem?
07:38hanthana has quit IRC
07:42
<xrmx__>
cdshan, i'm not ltsp expert but if you want to attach a usb printer to thin client you need cups on the thin client image at least
07:43
<ogra>
ugh, what makes you think that ?
07:43
you dont need cups :)
07:44
<cdshan>
ogra: Can I use the system>admin>printing application to configure the printer?
07:44
<ogra>
ltsp uses jetpipe which essentially turns your client into a jetdirect server for the attached printer
07:45
<cdshan>
I have used that and the ip of the client that I am connected to is 192.168.13.31, I have used the app-jet connection connecting to port 9100
07:45
<ogra>
though jetpipe in hardy only supports usb and parallel printers
07:45
<cdshan>
usually when I used the redhat based installations, I used to be able to telnet into the client and see if the printer was connected or now, now I am not able to do that too.
07:45
<ogra>
then you did everything right ...
07:46
you defined the printer in lts.conf as well i assume ?
07:46
<xrmx__>
ogra, do you know someone inside artec that speak english?
07:46
<cdshan>
but then when I try to print a test page nothing is happening. I have a epson fx-2175 dotmatrix printer, I have choosen it as a generic text only printer.
07:47
Yes I have configured it as Printer_0_Device = /dev/lp0
07:47
<ogra>
xrmx__, before he left the company Q-Funk was our direct ltsp contact, i dont know who does it now
07:47
<cdshan>
and port as 9100
07:47
do I have to give any other parameters?
07:48
<ogra>
cdshan, ok, add SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm to your lts.conf
07:48
<cdshan>
ok
07:48
<ogra>
that way you can go to a console on tty2 on the client
07:48
<xrmx__>
ogra, do you have any other reccomendation for a cheap thin client in .eu?
07:48
<cdshan>
can I do all this from the client itself or do I have to work only on the server?
07:48
<ogra>
xrmx__, not really, i think the thincan is the cheapest you can get
07:48
<cdshan>
I mean by doing a sudo
07:49
<ogra>
if you have the screen settings in lts.conf you should even do it on the client
07:49
<xrmx__>
ogra, ok, thanks
07:49
<ogra>
as yu wont be able to reach the client console from the server
07:50
<cdshan>
can I use the terminal application and do sudo -i
07:50
<ogra>
no
07:50
<cdshan>
what about ssh ?
07:50
<ogra>
you need to go to the console
07:50
<cdshan>
ogra: please go ahead
07:50
<ogra>
there is nothing running on the client that lets you in remotely for security reasons
07:52
<cdshan>
ogra: Hold on I will move to the server and connect back.

ogra: I am back!
07:54
Now I am on the server
07:54
please let me know what I should be doing?
07:55
I also noticed that when I log into the server, at the login screen at the botton right hand side corner I get a different ip
07:55
could this be the reason?
07:55
<ogra>
edit your lts.conf as i said above ... then boot a client, hit ctrl-alt-f2 and check that jetpipe is running and that your printer is really attached to lp0
07:56
<cdshan>
can you please repeat the two line you had mentioned? I lost it in transit to the server
07:58
<ogra>
SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm
07:58
add that to the default section of your lts.conf
07:58
then go to a client, boot it and switch to its console with ctrl-alt-f2
07:59
<cdshan>
ok, I will try it and be back in a moment

08:16
but I tried to print and is still doesnt
08:16
<ogra>
what messages ?
08:16
you should be on a console to type in commands
08:16
i.e.: ps -ax
08:17
so you can see if jetpipe is running

I don´t see jetpipe in the list, could you please tell me what I should do?
08:21
<ogra>
dmesg|grep lp0
08:22
check if the printer is seen by the kernel
08:22
and also look if /dev/lp0 actually exists
08:22
jetpipe checks if the device exists before it attempts to start
08:22
<cdshan>
how would I check if /dev/lp0 exists?
08:22
<ogra>
ls
08:23
<cdshan>
ok
08:23
I will be back

We are testing the latest Fedora with K12Linux
08:28
<cdshan>
Ï checked to see if /dev/lp0 is there and it is there.

08:31
<cdshan>
ogra: I am able to see lp0 when I do dmesg|grep
08:31

the auto detection of monitors seems to be our stumbling block

08:35

08:35
<Gadi>
johnb: have you tried: XSERVER=vesa ?
08:36
<cdshan>
:'(
08:36
<johnb>
not yet but it is on my list of things to try
08:36
<Gadi>
cdshan: so, you have trouble printing and jetpipe does not run?
08:36
<cdshan>
Gadi: thats right
08:37
<ogra>
cdshan, not unless you set up a firewall between server and client
08:37
by default there is no firewalling anywhere
08:37
<cdshan>
I didn´t do any thing like that
08:37
<Gadi>
cdshan: can you log into the client console?
08:38
<cdshan>
I have only the default installation
08:38
yes
08:38
<ogra>
when did you download the iso you used ?
08:39
<Gadi>
cdshan: from the client console, type: jetpipe /dev/lp0 9100
08:39
<ogra>
the very firts iso that was online until beginning of november was actually missing jetpipe
08:40
<cdshan>
ogra: if that be the case then how do I get around it?
08:40
ogra: Which iso are you talking about, the ubuntu or the ltsp?
08:40
<ogra>
easyest is to just grab the jetpipe script from the upstream tree and dump it into your client chroot
08:40
there is no ltsp iso :)
08:41
<cdshan>
ok
08:41
could you please guide me on how to do it?
08:41
<ogra>
i'm talking about 8.04.0 ... which was shortly after release replaced by 8.04.1
08:41
well, follow Gadi's advise first
08:41
<cdshan>
currently my system says that is 8.04.1
08:42
I will type jetpipt and get back to you with the result.
08:42
<ogra>
well, what counts is what the CD actually is :)
08:42
<cdshan>
one moment please
08:42
ok
08:42
<ogra>
you system will become 8.04.1 (or .2) with the regular upgrades
08:44
<cyberorg>
hi guys, tested usbip today, works great here is how it worked http://pastebin.com/d466fef21
08:45
<cdshan>
Gadi: it says jetpipe: command not found
08:45
<cyberorg>
usbip is already in kernel
08:45
<cdshan>
I guess ogra method should be used?
08:46
<ogra>
just get the jetpipe script from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/files/head%3A/client/jetpipe/
08:47
copy it to /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ and run sudo ltsp-update-image
08:50
<cdshan>
ogra: done
08:50
I have run the update-image
08:50
should I reboot the client?
08:50

09:39xrmx__ has joined #ltsp
09:42
<johnb>
is it possible to have terminals automatically drop back to vesa if there is a problem?
09:44
<johnny>
it should fall back to vesa if you don't set any X vars in ltsp 5
09:44
shouldn't it?
09:46
<Gadi>
johnb: vesa has no acceleration and cannot support widescreen modes
09:46
it is a generic driver
09:51
<johnb>
johnny: I am new to 5 and running to catch up with the times but I just plugged in a Fedora 10 server into our existing network and 50% of our terminals
09:51
would not give us a good log in screen
09:51
<johnny>
in fedora10, it should default to vesa.. you'd think
09:52
since it does no x config file by default

if it's nvidia that would be understandable..

I am using dotmatrix printers - earlier when I was using CentOS as the server, I had used the generic text only driver
11:00
but now when I try using that the printer does not respond.

if I use the foomatic drivers it works.
11:01

sounds like a cups issue

I guess so, the centos machine uses an erlier version of cups

ogra: I need one more clarification - regarding updates to the server. When ever we update the server using the update manager do we have to chroot and update the opt/ltsp/i386 also and run a ltsp-update-image?
11:04
to ensure we have the latest version working on both the server and the clients?
11:07
<johnny>
cdshan, only if you do a full dit upgrade
11:07
dist*
11:07
or distro upgrade
11:07
updating the chroot is not often necessary
11:08
unless you are told to do so to fix an encounted bug
11:08
in fact.. if you do upgrade distros.. it is in fact best.. to delete the chroot and start over
11:08alkisg has joined #ltsp

ok

cdshan, i know Gadi hacked up jetpipe quite a lot since i last touched it, so he might be your best recource
11:51
<cdshan>
Gadi: could you please help me with this issue?
11:53* Gadi does not even know exactly what version of ubuntu you have or why it lacked jetpipe to begin with
11:53
<Gadi>
try: grep -R jetpipe /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d
11:54
<ogra>
Gadi, my fault ... it was missing in the package in the first hardy release ... (which was only available for two weeks though)
11:54
<Gadi>
ogra: can he not apt-get it?
11:54
(the update)
11:54
<ogra>
sure
11:54
<Gadi>
and besides, it should still run on boot
11:55
if he added it in by hand
11:55
<ogra>
the quick fix is to just copy in the script though
11:55
but i had forgotten that you bloted it inbetween :P
11:55
*bloated
11:56
Gadi, might be it requires stuff thaths not in the old initscript
11:56
<Gadi>
shouldnt

the output for the grep command is as follows:
11:56
<Gadi>
especially when it works when started by hand

looking at the new initscript it sets a bunch of defaults the old one hadn't

so there will be no collisions with the existing dhcp server(s)

12:21

12:21
maybe it does not know its own hostname

yeah, lts.conf should use the MAC
12:23cdsha1 has joined #ltsp

it should be accounts1
12:25

just change lts.conf to use MAC addresses
12:25
and you'll be fine

or take the pain and set up a DNS server :)

yes
12:27
<cdsha1>
Have I configured any thing wrong
12:27
<ogra>
yes :)
12:27
<Gadi>
yes
12:27
<cdsha1>
could you please tell me where I went wrong?
12:27
<Gadi>
cdsha1: you dont have anything setup to tell the thin client what its hostname is
12:27
<ogra>
by default ltsp doesnt use/setup a DNS server its a massive maintanance overhead ...
12:27
so using client names wont work
12:27
<Gadi>
yet you are configuring lts.conf by hostname
12:27
<ogra>
right
12:28vagrantc has joined #ltsp
12:28
<ogra>
the best way to use lts.conf on a per client base is the MAC address since that will definately be unique to the client
12:28
<cdsha1>
I have entries in the /etc/hosts file
12:28
should this be put into /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/hosts ?
12:28
<ogra>
then you need to copy /etc/hosts into your client chroot and run ltsp-update-image again
12:28
<artur0303>
Well, I have a LTSP closed.
12:28Remaille has quit IRC

I wonder how can I do to reconfigure or something to change the sound card, video card?Who can help? Thanks
12:29
<ogra>
but note that it might happen that your dhcp server doesnt give out the same ip all the time
12:29
<cdsha1>
in the dhcp i have configured using the mac address
12:29
<ogra>
so you need to set up your dhcp as well to match against MAC adresses if you want to be 100% sure such a thing doesnt happen
12:30
in any case its a massive maintanance overhead
12:30
<alkisg>
cdsha1: you could also put a hostname entry in dhcpd.conf, so that the pc with the printer always gets the same IP _and_ hostname.
12:30
<ogra>
so using MAC in lts.conf directly and go with the defaults in dhcp and hosts is easier
12:30
<cdsha1>
ok
12:31
<ogra>
everything else will force you to do maintenance in multiple places
12:33
<cdsha1>
what would be entry I will have to make in the dhcp.conf for hostname? would it be hostname ¨accounts1¨

12:35

yes, it is, no yellow in it yet ... must be fairly new
12:35

cdsha1 you need the : use-host-decls on;

option
12:36
for what alkisg suggests
12:36
<cdsha1>
ok
12:37

If I run ltsp-update-image to add small things (a config file in ~root/) to the image will this disrupt users running previous instances of the OS?
18:00
<staffencasa>
the clients should be running a local copy of the image from memory, so it shouldn't.
18:03
<Daemonik>
Suppose they want to load something they haven't previously loaded (tsclient instead of nxclient), as long as it's still in the filesystem contained by the image they should be fine?
18:03

hrmmm
18:04
i am getting sh: /etc/rc.early_sysinit: No such file or directory when a thin-client tries booting from my new k12linux server
18:04
<Daemonik>
ls /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ would be a good place to start.
18:04
<epsas>
it is not there

"vagrantc" pasted "font packages for debian language selection..." (16 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/242
19:09
<vagrantc>
there's probably alternatives that would work for some languages, but that makes all the unicode boxes disappear.
19:10
a lot of guesswork went into it ...
19:10
off to get thrown around!
