hello there. I got a question
00:02
got a question. how can I have the client configured to use the client's resources. such as ram/cpu . I logged into my thin client, & saw it displaying me the servers resources, not the client.

Hi, i'm using K12Linux
04:31
I've got a 10/100 switch. If i connect a 1000 switch to it will this provide the bandwidth that the thin clients need
04:31
??

jaime_david: what nics do the clients and the server have?
04:39
(speed)
04:40
<jaime_david>
server 1000, clients 100
04:40
<alkisg>
Then it will provide the needed bandwidth, but you'll need to have flow control=off
04:41
See here for info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FlowControl (ignore any ubuntu-specific things)
04:41
<jaime_david>
is that an lts.conf option?
04:41
<alkisg>
Nope, read the link

hi everyone
04:52
I've noticed that client ignoring my lts.conf, I've put them under /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
04:52
when I run tcpdump on the tftp port, I see that client was actually ask for /lts.conf, not /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
04:53
is this the intended behaviour? the manual said it should be under ltsp/i386
04:53
where exactly is the configuration? is in dhcpd.conf?
04:55
and if I put lts.conf just under /var/lib/tftpboot, it works
04:57
<ogra>
then your client doesnt get the right tftp path from your dhcp server
04:57
the client extracts it from the filename directive in the dhcpd answer
05:01
<slashdotfx>
my dhcpd.conf excerpt, option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
05:02
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
05:02
I guess, it should be the "filename <path>" directive isn't it?
05:03
<ogra>
then it should chop off pxelinux.0 from the filename and use the path
05:03
at keast thats what the code does

05:21
<alkisg>
slashdotfx: maybe you somehow tell ipconfig not to use the values from dhcpd.conf? E.g. if you've put IPAPPEND in pxelinux.cfg/default, or if there's another dhcp server running, or if you have the filename option inside an "if" that's not valid for vendor identifier = "Linux ipconfig"...
05:24intelliant has joined #ltsp
05:28
<slashdotfx>
i didn't append anything into pxelinux.cfg/default, only single dhcp server which I'm sure, and about the dhcp option
05:29
would you mind to take a look, here http://ltsp.pastebin.com/f40702730
05:29
<ogra>
and your client is using PXE ?
05:30
<slashdotfx>
yes ogra
05:31rjune_ has quit IRC
05:31
<slashdotfx>
I'm running jaunty, with the latest update (dist-upgrade, including ltsp-build-client)
05:32
and my pxelinux.0 is not from jaunty, I've replace it with feisty, since my client wont boot with it
05:32
if that matters :)
05:33
<alkisg>
slashdotfx: there is your problem:
05:33
    if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {         filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
05:33
ipconfig does NOT send "PXEClient" as a vendor identifier, it sends "Linux ipconfig"
05:33
So it doesn't get the filename.
05:34
Remove the if, and it'll work fine (or fix it by using and "or")
05:34
<slashdotfx>
this is my complete tcpdump, http://ltsp.pastebin.com/f10932c75
05:36
<alkisg>
slashdotfx: append this in your dhcpd.conf if statement: or (substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "Linux ipconfig")
05:36
<slashdotfx>
ok, right away
05:38
<ogra>
feisty didnt have any code to read lts.conf via tftp
05:38
and feisty is long dead and unsupported
05:39
<alkisg>
ogra, it's only pxelinux.0, it shouldn't make any difference...

alkisg, ?
05:40
he is trying to load lts.conf via tftp
05:40
<alkisg>
He didn't change the initrd, he only changed pxelinux.0
05:40
<ogra>
there is no code in the initramfs for that in a feisty initramfs
05:40
<slashdotfx>
bingo! IP 192.168.0.14.41756 > 192.168.0.1.69: 31 RRQ "/ltsp/i386/lts.conf" netascii

:) thank you very much
05:40
<alkisg>
yw
05:41
ogra, as I understand, he's using the jaunty initramfs
05:41
<slashdotfx>
yes, I've only replacing pxelinux.0
05:41
<alkisg>
He just changed pxelinux.0 due to a nic incompatibility... shouldn't have any problem with that
05:41
<ogra>
ah, k then i misunderstood :)

it's the release fever :P

Hi, any tricks for getting local devices to work with Gentoo, LTSP-5? LOCALDEV=True in lts.conf, docs say an icon should appear on the desktop, but it doesn't. I can mount a USB stick locally from the terminal shell (but not unmount it - /etc/mtab is read only...).
06:06
<ogra>
icons only apprea on gnome desktops
06:06
*appear
06:06
on other systems you have to browse to /media/$USER/<devicename>
06:07
and dont fiddle on the client ... ltspfs never keeps the device mounted unless something does an actual write, you will not see it mounted on the client anyway
06:09
<mole1962>
/media is empty, both when looged on as normal uses and as root. syslog shows :Successful su for root by root
06:09
Apr 23 12:09:18 msi su[7868]: + ??? root:root
06:09
type messages, if that gives any clues
06:10
<ogra>
no idea what you are referring to ... syslog wont have anything about ltspfs mounts
06:10
check if ltspfsd is running on the client ...
06:10
<mole1962>
it happenes when I plug and unplug a USB stick
06:10
<ogra>
check your udev log on the client if it fires the ltspfs rules
06:11
<mole1962>
and I got usb_id[7282]: unable to access '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.3/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sdb' in the logs doing it too quickly
06:11
<ogra>
make sure ldm has set up the socket the communication runs through
06:12
make sure ltspfs is installed server side (ltspfsmounter gets executed through the ldm tunnel on plug by the udev rule on the client)
06:13
<mole1962>
ltspfd is running OK - the login is with kdm. Will set ldm up and try that. Thanks
06:13
<ogra>
kdm wont work
06:13
neither will gdm
06:13
we dont support XDMCP at all in ltsp ... at least feature wise
06:14
<mole1962>
it does - the PC did have LTSP 4.2 on it B4. I've had an xdm login screen as well - but that didn't work properly
06:15
<ogra>
all features we implemented in ltsp5 are 100% bound to the ldm ssh tunnel
06:15
<mole1962>
ldm has just failed to compile
06:15
<ogra>
you can use XDMCP, but wont have sound, localdev, local apps etc etc
06:16
XDMCP is simply to insecure to promote it
06:20
<mole1962>
Looks like installing iso-codes will get ldm to compile
06:22
<ogra>
right, it pulls its language list from there
06:25
<mole1962>
I just remembered it from bugzilla or somewhere - ldm has compiled OK now.
06:26
but getting "no response from server restarting" messages
06:27
<ogra>
your ssh server is running ?
06:28
<mole1962>
yes - just tried restarting it and stopping the firewall just in case

Where can I find some help to mount the homes via a huge nfs server ? I want to use it with ltsp-cluster
06:55
<alkisg>
mole1962: this message is displayed no matter what the actual error is; so usually it's a problem with the ssh keys. Try specifying SCREEN_02=shell in lts.conf and then to ssh to the server from the client console to see the error message.
06:56
<cyberorg>
alkisg, LDM_DEBUG_TERMINAL=true in lts.conf should get terminal along with LDM
06:57
<alkisg>
cyberorg: isn't that AFTER logging in?
06:57
At least in intrepid when I've tried it, that was the case...
06:57
<mole1962>
alkisg - It was a password problem - I set the root password in the chroot environment different to the server, and using the new password got me logged in
06:58
<alkisg>
k
06:58
<cyberorg>
its S99-debug-terminal

<mole1962>
but I've broken it trying to get KDE to start instead of basic server
07:09alkisg has quit IRC
07:12
<mole1962>
Possibly daft question - I've got LDM back logging into TWM - could anyone let me know the LDM_XSESSION value I need to start KDE ? I don't need to install anothe KDE in the chroot environment do I?
07:13
<ogra>
no
07:13
its not LDM_XSESSION but LDM_SESSION
07:14
and it sould point to your startkde script (wherever gentoo stores that)
07:23
<mole1962>
No luck. LDM_SESSION=/usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde crashes LDM, which goes back to the login screen
07:24
<ogra>
check ~/.xsession-errors of the user you log in with
07:24* ogra goes back to watch #ubuntu-release-party

i am struggling to get italc working in the chroot under debian lenny, the install was simple enough, and i seem to be stuck on what is probably a relatively simple task of starting /usr/bin/ica on the client.
09:09
under ubuntu i guess it would be START_ITALC=True, but I suspect that this has not been implemented under debian.
09:10
i have added to init.d and it runs
09:10
but fails with cannot connect to xserver.
09:22
<Gadi>
chrisjrob: I have 0 experience with this, but I am guessing you are starting the service before the Xserver is up
09:22
<chrisjrob>
yes i am. i think i should probably implement as an ldm script?
09:22
<Gadi>
you might be better served addind a script to the chroot's /usr/share/ldm/rc.d/
09:23
<chrisjrob>
Gadi: i'll give it a try. thanks!
09:23
<Gadi>
I would recommend with the "I" prefix
09:23
like: I00-italc
09:23
or some such
09:24
<chrisjrob>
should the file be formatted like init scripts, or just a simple bash script running the /usr/bin/ica
09:25
<Gadi>
the files are sourced
09:25
so it should be a sh script
09:25
without any exit's or anything
09:26
<chrisjrob>
Gadi: thanks.

Hi, does anyone have any tips for client sould setup in Gentoo, LTSP 5? Alsa-plugins with pulseaudio USE flag installed on server and client, /etc/asound.conf file added, but all sound still from the server soundcard...?

Sorry, that was "client sound setup"

Now have no sound on server and hissing on client. alsamixer command on client gives "ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Access denied" on the server.... ps aux|grep pulse shows /usr/bin/pulseaudio --log-target=syslog --disallow-module-loading=1 --fail=1 --daemonize=1 --system. Anyone any ideas?
10:14
And still no local devices showing in /media
10:18alkisg has quit IRC
10:18
<Gadi>
mole1962: pulseaudio should run on the client, not the server
10:19
and through a logged in session, you should open a terminal window and type: env|grep PULSE
10:19
and check your PULSE_SERVER env variable
10:20
you should test first that pulse works, then move on to pulse-redirected-through-alsa

Gadi, PULSE_SERVER=tcp:192.168.2.22:4713, I've now got sound on the client - but the server sound is coming from teh client as well..??
10:26

so you can use it as a general management tool

10:27* ogra tickles Gadi

GAdi - yes, play an mp3 on the server with noatun and it comes out of the client speakers... The "permission denied" pulse error was on the server
10:28

too bad the server team doesn't have any openings
10:28

dont do that

10:39
<mole1962>
don't really know what I'm doing... just following the Gentoo Wiki which said to create /etc/asound.conf which has :
10:39
ppcm.!default {
10:39
type pulse
10:39
}
10:39
ctl.!default {
10:39
type pulse
10:39
}
10:39
<ogra>
there is one p to much :)
10:40
<mole1962>
yep.... copy and pasting - the file's OK
10:40
<ogra>
ctl.!default should actually give you a volume control for the pulse server on the client
10:40
<mole1962>
but it's /etc/asound.conf, not rc ... ?
10:40
<ogra>
well, no idea what files gentoo uses :)
10:41
in ubuntu we have an ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf on a per user base
10:41
/etc/asound.conf is a bit global ... so all your users will use pulse
10:42scottmaccal has joined #ltsp
10:43
<mole1962>
don't mind them all using ALSA...
10:44
<ogra>
they all use pulse
10:44
<mole1962>
on the client, alsamixer gives a volume control for PULSE (in the GUI, not logged in directly to the client)
10:44
<ogra>
on top of alsa
10:44
<mole1962>
anything that works would do...:)
10:45
<ogra>
well what you describe above is how it should work
10:45
"<mole1962> on the client, alsamixer gives a volume control for PULSE"
10:45
thats exactly the right behavior
10:45
<mole1962>
It's just the server permissions
10:46
<ogra>
well, with the setting in your asound.conf you enforce pulse usage for all users
10:46
so ake sure pulse runs on the server and your users have perissions to control it
10:46
<mole1962>
I've just copied /etc/asound.conf to /root, and alsamixer is working...
10:49
Thanks for the help - I'll carry on in the morning (need some sleep)
10:51
It's sort of working : use SMPlayer on the server and the sound is from the server, use Noatun on the clinet and the sound comes from the clinet speakers :) Thaks again

that is what it looks like from a fresh boot?
11:14
<chrisjrob>
the two /usr/bin/ica entries - seem to happen after every boot
11:15
i suspect the second is being tripped up by the first,
11:15
but i'm only launching it once
11:15
if i remove my script, neither run
11:15
<Gadi>
ah - the second is actually a child of the first
11:15* Gadi just looked more closely
11:16leio has quit IRC
11:16

so, either, your ica command is wrong
11:17
OR you have something else running on port 5800
11:17
played with vnc in the chroot at all?
11:17
<chrisjrob>
i have tried other ports and it still fails
11:17
no i have not tried installing vnc in the chroot at all

install nmap on your server, and run: sudo nmap -sP <thinclientip>

the latter showed just 6007/tcp open X11:7

hmm
11:25

i've changed my script to run:

11:26
but no different

ok, do this:
11:26
at the client shell:
11:26
pkill -9 '/usr/bin/ica'
11:26
ps -efw|grep ica
11:26
make sure it is dead
11:26
then, do:

export DISPLAY=:7

export XAUTHORITY=/var/run/ldm-xauth<tab><tab>
11:27
(in other words, whatever the XAUTHORITY file is - its a long variable name)
11:27
:)
11:27
then:
11:27
run your ica command from the client
11:27
without the redirections
11:28
and tell me the error
11:29
<chrisjrob>
Gadi: ldm-xauth does not exist on my client
11:30
<Gadi>
hmm.. maybe its xauth-ldm...
11:30
I always forget
11:30

only thing in /var/run is ldm and rsyslogd.pid
11:30
<Gadi>
ah, look in /var/run/ldm
11:30
<chrisjrob>
and under ldm is the server IP
11:30

hmm...
11:31
/var/cache?
11:31* Gadi checks the code...
11:32
<Gadi>
XAUTHORITY=`mktemp -u /var/run/ldm-xauth-XXXXXXXXX`
11:32
should be there
11:32
<chrisjrob>
perhaps ldm couldn't load completely because of my script
11:32
<Gadi>
ah - did ldm not load?
11:33
<chrisjrob>
no, just displayed that isd-server error and stopped
11:33
<Gadi>
oh!
11:33
<chrisjrob>
sorry, probably should have saiid that earlier!
11:33* chrisjrob blushes

<chrisjrob>
okay
11:34

yes.

sorry Gadi, no different.
11:44
btw you previously asked me to use I00 prefix, but ldm did not pick it up, and reading ldm-script it looks like only the Sxx scripts are processed, so I went back to my S20 prefix.

Hey all. Question; I have a sparc-based server I want to use as an LTSP server serving i386 clients. I obviously can't build the chroot on the SPARC (I have access to an i386 to build the chroot), so what do I need to do to build the chroot on one machine, and transfer it elsewhere?
12:20
<Gadi>
chrisjrob: change your script to simply: /usr/bin/ica &
12:20
or, better:
12:20
/usr/bin/ica &
12:20
true
12:21
NCommander: plan to use nbd or nfs?
12:22
<NCommander>
Gadi, I'm not really sure. I've done netbooting before, but this is my first round playing with LTSP
12:22
<Gadi>
actually, if your distro has sparc support, it may have the ltsp-server package
12:22
<NCommander>
It looks like I can simply build my chroot and then scp it to the SPARC, and then just do the normal voodoo to configure NFS and dhcp
12:22
Gadi, it does, but the build chroot command is unlikely to work
12:22
<Gadi>
right
12:22
<NCommander>
(the sparc running ubuntu jaunty 9.04)
12:22
<Gadi>
but, the package should configure everything else

so, just copy the image over
12:23
you may also want to copy the whole chroot
12:23
actually, yeah, copy the entirety of /opt/ltsp/i386
12:23
as well as /opt/ltsp/image
12:24
*/opt/ltsp/images
12:24
put them in the same place
12:24
and then run: sudo ltsp-update-kernel
12:24
<NCommander>
meh
12:24
Today is not the day to build chroots
12:25
(new Ubuntu release has slammed the mirrors ;.;)
12:25
<Gadi>
you may also need to manually copy the Sparc server's ssh keys into the chroot's /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
12:25
before you roll the image
12:25* nubae wonders why people dont use torrents on release day
12:25
<NCommander>
Gadi, thanks, you've been loads of help
12:25
<Gadi>
np
12:25
<NCommander>
nubae, you can't use a torrent to upgrade :-/
12:26
<nubae>
ah true...
12:26
<chrisjrob>
Gadi: thanks for your help, i'm going to be locked in if i'm not careful, i'll pick this up again tomorrow. goodnight.
12:26
<NCommander>
Gadi, how many people run LTSP on non-x86/powerpc machines
12:26
<nubae>
wish there was something like rsync to torrent
12:26
then u could do incremental
12:27
<Gadi>
nubae: i think the whole point of torrents is you are gathering seeds
12:27
so, its always incremental
12:28
<nubae>
yeah, but lets say u have image.iso
12:28
<Blinny>
pmatulis: Yes, works mostly well. Will need some tweaking for your setup. I had to change the time values for mine.
12:28
<nubae>
and u now want to download a new image.iso
12:28
rsync can look for the differences and only download that
12:28Eeyore-Jr has joined #ltsp
12:28
<Blinny>
pmatulis: FYI you can use the 32-bit deb on either 32 or 64-bit installations.
12:28
<Gadi>
rsync would still download the whole file
12:28
<nubae>
so even with p2p, it would be quicker to download just what u need and not the whole thing
12:28
<Blinny>
Isn't there apt-p2p
12:28
<Gadi>
its a single binary blob
12:29
<nubae>
no, it wouldnt
12:29
<pmatulis>
Blinny: thanks, so it works well. now have you found it very useful?
12:29
<Gadi>
no?
12:29
<nubae>
I use it to incrementally download new releases
12:29
<Blinny>
pmatulis: Sure. Kills old processes.
12:29
<nubae>
downloads 10 times quicker
12:29
<NCommander>
Blinny, there is, but its not setup out of the box
12:29
<Blinny>
Gadi: No, it only dl's the changed bits.
12:29
<Gadi>
pmatulis: you may want to experiment with: LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION=True in lts.conf
12:29
<Blinny>
(rsync, that is)
12:30
<Gadi>
Blinny, nubae: ok, ok

12:30

Gadi, next question, is it possible to take a LTSP setup, and make it so changes are not saved?
12:31
<Gadi>
define changes

12:36
so I'm not a complete newbie to this
12:37
<Gadi>
ah
12:37
<NCommander>
LTSP looks fairly easy to get going so I'm hoping its something I can get going with just a bit of fiddling

12:54
<NCommander>
ogra, and install Ubuntu -desktop on the SPARC, right?
12:54
<ogra>
then you install ltsp-server-standalone on the sparc ...
12:54* NCommander already did
12:55

you dont need x on the sparc
12:56

right, but I do need the desktop, right?
12:57
<ogra>
right
12:57
<NCommander>
the desktop tries to pull in X
12:57
(at least on sparc)

but no driver

ah

it shoudlnt be set on normal clients
13:36
<cyberorg>
ok, so what should be the condition?
13:36
<ogra>
i dont think it does if you try to trigger it remotely
13:36
LOCAL_APPS probably
13:36
<cyberorg>
someone sent that in after testing it http://devzilla.novell.com/kiwi-ltsp/show_bug.cgi?cfgid=kiwi-ltsp&id=57
13:37
<ogra>
we dont use alsa or oss
13:37
not in client mode nor do any of the normal desktop apps
13:37
o agree about the audio group
13:37
*i
13:38
<cyberorg>
skype does not seem to like pa
13:38
<ogra>
right, so make the user use ekiga :)
13:38
or make it a special lts.conf setting
13:38
ALLOW_OSS
13:39
but then *you* have to have the fight with warren :P he just dropped all OSS code from LTSP this week
13:39
anyway, i'll take a break before my nightly meeting and conf call ...
13:39
<vagrantc>
the OSS code was just a warning anyways
13:40
<ogra>
right, but the comit essage had "die die die !" in it :)
13:40
<Gadi>
yeah he just dropped warnings
13:40mcasadevall has joined #Ltsp

<vagrantc>
heh. yeah, i guess it's the sentiment...
13:40
<Gadi>
cyberorg: check the pulseaudio timeout thing with normal ldm
13:40
<ogra>
right
13:40
<mcasadevall>
This laptop can't netboot :-/
13:41
<Gadi>
or better, with ldm on one screen and rdesktop on another
13:41
<cyberorg>
Gadi, it didn't work with normal ldm
13:41
<ogra>
mcasadevall, rom-o-matic.com :)
13:41
<Gadi>
then dont include it
13:41
:)
13:41
its not a good way to handle things
13:41
<mcasadevall>
ogra, indeed, but such a PITA
13:41
<ogra>
anyway, i' out for 2h or so until the meeting
13:41
<Gadi>
you should be able to pipe all audio into pulseaudio
13:41
even when local
13:42
<ogra>
skype should be started with padsp or something
13:42
<Gadi>
right
13:42
<ogra>
(though that might actually require the audio group)
13:42
not sure
13:42
<Gadi>
group handling should be done on the server
13:43
<ogra>
right
13:43
<Gadi>
he should be in the audio group there
13:43
<ogra>
its copied anyway
13:43
cyberorg, so tell him to prefix skype with padsp
13:43
<Gadi>
yeah
13:43
<ogra>
that should solve it without hacks
13:43
<Gadi>
this is not a good patch
13:43
<ogra>
-> &
13:43
<cyberorg>
ogra, skype does not work with that, it is quite stubborn :)
13:44
<Gadi>
ltsp-localapps "padsp skype"
13:44
(just make sure padsp is available in the chroot)
13:44
<cyberorg>
Gadi, see the bug report, he tried that
13:45bobby_C has joined #ltsp
13:47
<Gadi>
well, his user is either not in the audio group on the server OR localapps is broken on his version of kiwi
13:47
because part of what localapps does is put the user in the right groups
13:47
without his hack
13:47
so, that needs to be explored
13:48
I also only see reference to padsp audacity
13:48
not padsp skype
13:48
pulseaudio's own page says that there are problems with audacity
13:49
again, not a good patch
13:49
at least not for upstream
13:50
<Lns>
I've used audacity a lot, it seems to be pretty picky with audio subsystems in general
13:50
<mcasadevall>
Ok, I got the system to boot to LDM, but I can't get it to login
13:51
<cyberorg>
Gadi, ok, asking him to dig deeper :)
