08:37 | <ltsp> Hello. We have an LTSP5 running under Ubuntu and have several clients up (using one now). However, we're having trouble with an older machine that we're desperate to get working. It boots and connects fine, but X / ldm fails. I think it is a keyboard problem. I've set lts.conf specifically for that mac address so it goes to a shell. I can then start X (using "X" not "startx" or "xinit") and, for example, run xeyes, but if I try any application that needs k

11:31 | <vagrantc> cyberorg: doesn't look like it to me
| |
11:31 | cyberorg: xrdp doesn't pass any arguments to startwm.sh, so there's nothing that could be dynamically determined.
| |
11:32 | cyberorg: it looks like your version just pulls the default and passes it on to Xsession
| |
11:32 | cyberorg: whereas, on debian, Xsession handles the default itself.
| |
11:32 | cyberorg: what we need is something that can pass the default on from rdesktop to xrdp
| |
11:33 | cyberorg: and then to startwm.sh
| |
11:33 | <cyberorg> vagrantc, may be your xrdp maintainer can post on xrdp list "demanding" that suse upstream their patches as quick as possible

12:37 | <Ryan52> ltsp just logs you in to the server.

12:37 | <Lumiere> right click -> change desktop background for gnome

12:37 | <Ryan52> so it's the same as if those users were sitting at the server.

12:37 | <thebbxx2000> ok, but how do i make it the default background for all users

12:37 | <Ryan52> so it's not ltsp sepcific, so ask in #distro.

13:53 | <alkisg> and Ubuntu, with the alternate cd (=d-i...)
| |
13:53 | <vagrantc> the current debian release has a GUI installer that's selectable at boot time, the next release is likely to default to a GUI installer.
| |
13:53 | lucascoala has joined #ltsp | |

13:57 | <Lns> vagrantc: the gui installer won't/isn't available for all archs obviously, right? just i386/amd64/.. ?

13:57 | I sure hope debian never ditches the textmode installer ever

18:34 | <dmarkey> when using rdesktop

| |
18:35 | vagrantc: you work on debian?

18:38 | <vagrantc> dmarkey: yeah
| |
18:38 | <dmarkey> good work!
| |
18:40 | <vagrantc> i do what i can :)
| |
18:40 | <dmarkey> one problem that i can see
| |
18:41 | when a person has a usb key in, mounted in /media/root/USB(for example), when they yank it out that folder isnt cleaned up
| |
18:41 | <vagrantc> yes, the local mounting stuff doesn't work very well.
| |
18:42 | it's improved significantly, but it's still got issues.
| |
18:42 | <dmarkey> well it works well, except for that
| |
18:42 | <vagrantc> well, that causes a lot of problems.
| |
18:42 | when you plug the next stick in, or the same stick again, you end up with additional mounts
| |
18:43 | multiple concurrent mounts, some of which don't even work
| |
18:43 | it also makes CD-ROMs fail to work
| |
18:43 | <dmarkey> i'm thinking of while [ : ] ; rmdir /media/root/* ; sleep 30 ; done
| |
18:43 | vagrantc: multiple usb sticks works well
| |
18:43 | <vagrantc> dmarkey: after plugging and unplugging them?
| |
18:44 | dmarkey: with local mounts?
| |
18:44 | <dmarkey> yes
| |
18:44 | <vagrantc> i haven't had the same luck.
| |
18:44 | <dmarkey> i even tested a usb floppy drive
| |
18:45 | staffencasa has quit IRC | |
18:45 | <dmarkey> vagrantc: what exactly can you not get to work properly
| |
18:45 | unplugging and replugging a usb stick?
| |
18:46 | <vagrantc> the local mounts hang, never unmount, and then there are multiple mounts in /tmp for each additional mount for the same location
| |
18:46 | <dmarkey> hmm.. why dont they mount in /media/root?
| |
18:46 | <vagrantc> remote mounting works great, as long as you don't install ltspfs in the chroot.
| |
18:47 | dmarkey: because the previous mount never unmounts, is my guess.
| |
18:47 | Egyptian[Home]1 has joined #ltsp | |
18:47 | <dmarkey> but the next drive will be sdb, not sda
| |
18:47 | but i suppose it would be sda eventually
| |
18:49 | <vagrantc> if you pull sda, then the next drive will also be sda.
| |
18:49 | <dmarkey> so this is when the problem starts?
| |
18:49 | <vagrantc> the devices get created/removed just fine, it's the ltspfs-specific udev rules that aren't working properly.
| |
18:49 | anyways, gotta run soon.
| |
18:50 | <dmarkey> hm.. well this is going into production soon, id like to that that problem fixed
| |
18:50 | i'll investigate the problem
| |
18:50 | <vagrantc> dmarkey: you using ltspfs 0.5.9 or 0.5.11 ?
| |
18:50 | <dmarkey> see if i can reporduce
| |
18:51 | * vagrantc would strongly discourage using local mounts on debian currently | |
18:51 | <vagrantc> at least, relying on them
| |
18:51 | <dmarkey> vagrantc: what ever the default is on 5
| |
18:51 | <vagrantc> behaved very erratic in my tests
| |
18:51 | dmarkey: 5?
| |
18:51 | <dmarkey> debian 5
| |
18:51 | sorry
| |
18:51 | <vagrantc> that doesn't have support for local mounting at all
| |
18:52 | <dmarkey> the chrrot in sqeeze
| |
18:52 | chroot*
| |
18:52 | <vagrantc> ah. so whatever is in squeeze, then
| |
18:52 | <dmarkey> yup
| |
18:52 | <vagrantc> which is 0.5.9-1 for a while longer. 0.5.11-1 will hit it soon.
| |
18:53 | <dmarkey> cool, what will that mean for me
| |
18:53 | <vagrantc> some rewriting of the code, similar buggy behavior.
| |
18:54 | <dmarkey> what about testing http://usbmount.alioth.debian.org/
| |
18:54 | <vagrantc> test all you want
| |
18:55 | <dmarkey> do you see any problems with it
| |
18:55 | <vagrantc> i seem to recall the unmounting on usbmount to be cumbersome
| |
18:56 | but i haven't used it for 4 years or so
| |
18:56 | <dmarkey> well, there will be no unmounting, you cant unmount within an rdesktop session
| |
18:57 | <vagrantc> yes, but you can unplug a usb stick
| |
18:57 | and if it's still mounted, that can cause issues.
| |
18:57 | <dmarkey> so, udev unmounting then?
| |
18:57 | <vagrantc> you'll get unclean mounts that way
| |
18:58 | things that need fsck and such
| |
18:58 | <dmarkey> is it possible to do a lazy unmount with ltspfs, i.e. umount -fl
| |
18:58 | <vagrantc> ltspfs automatically unmounts the actual media after 2 seconds of inactivity
| |
18:58 | <dmarkey> oh really
| |
18:58 | <vagrantc> but the fuse mount still sits there, waiting to remount as needed
| |
18:59 | <dmarkey> if i dont access the drive, the folder in /media/root actully gets deleted, but if i do access the drive it doesnt

20:23 | <slashdotfx> I'm running ltsp on jaunty
| |
20:23 | as soon as I add openssh, x11vnc, xterminator on chroot
| |
20:23 | the client stop booting sucessfully
| |
20:23 | it said something about failing nbd
| |
20:24 | it's discussed here, http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg36173.html

22:06 | <slashdotfx> ok, partially solved
| |
22:06 | if the chroot is getting fat, nbd fails
| |
22:07 | next problem is autologin
| |
22:09 | jaunty is ignoring LDM_AUTOLOGIN on lts.conf
| |
22:12 | <stgraber> no it doesn't. I'm using it at the office :)
| |
22:13 | <slashdotfx> stgraber: would you mind for me to take a look? please
| |
22:14 | I mean at your lts.conf
| |
22:14 | which one to choose? LDM_AUTOLOGIN or LDM_GUESTLOGIN?
| |
22:14 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/AutoLoginFeatures
| |
22:15 | <stgraber> LDM_AUTOLOGIN with LDM_USERNAME and LDM_PASSWORD set
| |
22:16 | also have some with LDM_GUESTLOGIN working just as fine
| |
22:18 | <slashdotfx> where did you put LDM_AUTOLOGIN, under [default] right?
| |
22:20 | <stgraber> yeah

| |
22:23 | (yeah, I have fairly complex lts.conf at the office :))
| |
22:28 | <slashdotfx> ic, each machine is using the same username account simultaneously?
| |
22:29 | could you take a look at mine, it is fairly simple http://pastebin.com/m6c1371d2

22:33 | <Ryan52> !docs
| |
22:33 | <ltspbot> Ryan52: "docs" is For the most current documentation, see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
| |
22:56 | <stgraber> slashdotfx: nope, I'm working with ltsp-cluster so I have a different lts.conf for each computer but generated from a central tool. though everything else is regular ltsp so lts.conf parsing works exactly the same
