| 01:37 | <Appiah> Good morning everyone (yes it's morning here)
| |
| 01:39 | I was wondering , how would you guys recommend doing a baseline for a LTSP server?

| |
| 07:55 | <ogra> well, partially, its a public holiday here
| |
| 07:56 | <rjune> LOL
| |
| 07:56 | I have an email I want to forward you, I think it might be relavant for the arm stuff
| |
| 07:57 | Enjoy your holiday
| |
| 07:59 | <ogra> thanks :)
| |
| 08:01 | well, ubuntu is at gcc 4.4.x already :)

| |
| 08:26 | <matttttt> is there a way to get an ltsp client to throw up a firefox browser before ldm in order to authenticate to a cisco acs server in order to get access to an ltsp server?
| |
| 08:26 | seems like a hassle, but just curious if anyone has seen someone do this

| 08:30 | shogunx has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:46 | <sbalneav> matttttt: No, you'd have to modify ldm, or write your own screen script to do something like that.
| |
| 08:46 | seems like there'd be a pam module you could use to do that, though.
| |
| 08:46 | Morning all
| |
| 08:47 | matttttt: libpam-radius-auth perhaps?
| |
| 08:48 | Description: The PAM RADIUS authentication module This is the PAM to RADIUS authentication module. It allows any PAM-capable machine to become a RADIUS client for authentication and accounting requests. You will, however, need to supply your own RADIUS server to perform the actual authentication

| |
| 08:55 | <stgraber> yup
| |
| 08:55 | <ogra> i wonder where that went
| |
| 08:56 | ah, my search filter was messed up
| |

| 09:49 | <matttttt> sbalneav: thanks, i'll read up on that module. Looks like it might fit the bill
| |
| 09:51 | say i have two ltsp servers, both for separate purposes, server1 has it's own users, but some of the users on server2 might need access to the user's directories on server1, not visa versa, i was thinking just export /home from server1 and mount it somewhere on server2, but am i going to run into problems if the users/groups that own the files exported don't exist on server2?
| |
| 09:52 | marius-- has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:54 | <Lumiere> matttttt: my suggestion is usually to choose 1 to be the homes server
| |
| 09:54 | and create all the accounts on that
| |
| 09:54 | then use nis and nfs on the second server
| |
| 09:55 | to mount /home and the users
| |
| 09:57 | <matttttt> cool, sounds reasonable.
| |
| 09:58 | would ldap perform the same as nis in this case?
| |
| 09:58 | <Lumiere> yes
| |
| 09:58 | even better
| |
| 09:58 | <matttttt> i don't have much experience with it, it's a centralized authentication mechanism, as well as user/group sync/sharing?
| |
| 09:58 | <Lumiere> nis is mostly unencrypted
| |
| 09:58 | it is a centralized directory system
| |
| 09:58 | which can store unix user/group/password info
| |
| 09:59 | <sbalneav> matttttt: Yes, ldap can be used as a centralized authentication mechanism, as well as holding group information. And more as well.
| |
| 09:59 | You can store email addresses and other information in it for Thunderbird to use as a centralized address book, etc.
| |
| 09:59 | <nubae> Lumiere: nis using kerberos and nfs4 is just as encrypted as LDAP
| |
| 10:00 | but ldap has become more standardised across operating systems
| |
| 10:03 | <matttttt> i can use nfsv4 with ldap?
| |
| 10:04 | also, can i get away with just 1 ldap server, no backup/slave?
| |
| 10:04 | <sbalneav> http://www-theorie.physik.unizh.ch/~dpotter/howto/kerberos
| |
| 10:04 | yes, you can use kerberos+ldap
| |
| 10:04 | shogunx has quit IRC | |
| 10:04 | yanqui has quit IRC | |
| 10:04 | <sbalneav> matttttt: you certainly can, that's how we do it.
| |
| 10:05 | shogunx has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:05 | yanqui has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:06 | <matttttt> man, that's a lot of moving parts just to get shared home directories :)
| |
| 10:07 | <sbalneav> Well, you could just use nfsv3, it's a little simpler, and doesn't require kerberos.
| |
| 10:09 | I do things around here with nfsv3
| |
| 10:10 | <epsas> win 10
| |
| 10:10 | <sbalneav> but in the future, I'm simply going hardware, and setting up a SAN with fibre channel.
| |
| 10:16 | vagrantc has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:19 | <matttttt> does nfs3 work with ldap without kerberos?
| |
| 10:20 | <sbalneav> matttttt: yes.
| |
| 10:21 | I currently just run LDAP + nfsv3
| |
| 10:21 | <matttttt> cool, did you just use their respective manuals or did you find a good guide for setting them up in concert?
| |
| 10:22 | we're using suse
| |
| 10:24 | marius-- has quit IRC | |
| 10:25 | <Gadi> matttttt: they really serve two different functions. All LDAP has to do is to help you get your uid/gid straight
| |
| 10:25 | <sbalneav> I just used manuals. I've been using ldap and nfs for a long time, but GIYF, there's lots of setup guides out there.
| |
| 10:25 | Gadi++
| |
| 10:25 | right.
| |
| 10:25 | <Gadi> all nfs has to do is allow you to mount the filesystem
| |
| 10:25 | its not like LDAP is gonna tell the system to mount the filesystem with nfs
| |
| 10:26 | <matttttt> gotcha, ok. i'm very familiar with nfs but not ldap
| |
| 10:26 | i'll bust out the ldap manual :)
| |
| 10:27 | <Gadi> matttttt: think of LDAP as centralizing the info in /etc/passwd, /etc/group
| |
| 10:27 | thats it
| |
| 10:28 | thats part of why lots of folks want an ActiveDriectory-like thing in Linux, because Linux has all the independent pieces, but leaves it up to you to put it together

| 10:32 | <Gadi> speaking of slightly OT: anyone here use Xen with a GUI interface?
| |
| 10:33 | <sbalneav> Gadi: I use xen, but I just use the command line tools
| |
| 10:34 | <Gadi> sbalneav: like it?
| |
| 10:35 | <nubae> I use the gui tools... but on openSUSE
| |
| 10:36 | <Gadi> either of you running an LTSP VM onit?
| |
| 10:37 | * Gadi is weighing the VM options for an LTSP deployment with an eye towards scale and GUI mgmt | |
| 10:37 | <Gadi> there. I said it.
| |
| 10:37 | :)
| |
| 10:37 | <nubae> wow, well no
| |
| 10:38 | I'd think LTSP and vms are not so compatible
| |
| 10:38 | <Gadi> why not?
| |
| 10:38 | <nubae> cause of the hardware interaction
| |
| 10:38 | <cyberorg> Gadi, xen is the way to go then
| |
| 10:38 | <ogra> use kvm
| |
| 10:38 | * vagrantc has been using xen as an LTSP server for over 2 years now | |
| 10:38 | <cyberorg> :)
| |
| 10:39 | <vagrantc> if you have the hardware, kvm is the future, though.
| |
| 10:39 | <nubae> well anything that is real virtualisatio I guess
| |
| 10:39 | <Gadi> vagrantc: at what scale?
| |
| 10:39 | kvm lacks the GUI, no?
| |
| 10:39 | <ogra> no
| |
| 10:39 | <nubae> theres a gui for it too
| |
| 10:39 | <Gadi> ah
| |
| 10:39 | <vagrantc> Gadi: 15-30 terminals, though i split out application servers from the LTSP root filesystem server
| |
| 10:39 | <cyberorg> kvm can do live migration too
| |
| 10:40 | <Gadi> vagrantc: a man after my own heart
| |
| 10:40 | <nubae> vagrantc: so u are using it to load balance mostly?
| |
| 10:41 | strattog has quit IRC | |
| 10:41 | <vagrantc> nubae: mostly to separate anonymous logins from real logins... i.e. we have drop-in terminals that anyone can log in to and use the internet, but also people who have real accounts doing real work
| |
| 10:41 | strattog has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:41 | <Gadi> vagrantc: this is at freegeek?
| |
| 10:41 | <vagrantc> nubae: we put the real accounts on a separate machine
| |
| 10:41 | Gadi: yeah
| |
| 10:42 | <Gadi> with your locked down ICEWM and not much video?
| |
| 10:42 | <vagrantc> and the root filesystem on it's own machine ... so that people don't have user logins on the same machine that's serving up the root filesystem
| |
| 10:42 | Gadi: is it locked down?
| |
| 10:42 | just doesn't have much installed
| |
| 10:42 | <nubae> cool
| |
| 10:43 | * Gadi just wonders if the virtualization adds any scaling bottleneck in terms of networking | |
| 10:43 | <vagrantc> but yeah, the anonymous logins have more limited application choices
| |
| 10:43 | <stgraber> sbalneav: can you commit that ldm patch ? ;)
| |
| 10:43 | <Gadi> does the kvm GUI have a name?
| |
| 10:43 | so I can look it up
| |
| 10:43 | <vagrantc> the whole LDM_GUESTLOGIN patches were developed for freegeek's setup :)
| |
| 10:44 | try2free has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:44 | <vagrantc> Gadi: haven't seen any huge bottlenecks with xen vs. bare metal. and not using really impressive hardware.
| |
| 10:46 | <ogra> Gadi, apt-get install virt-manager
| |
| 10:47 | try2free has left #ltsp | |
| 10:50 | <Gadi> ogra: ah, it connects to different types of VMs
| |
| 11:03 | Faithful has quit IRC | |
| 11:03 | <epsas> vagrantc - I was following the "Slow Java Performance" thread on ltsp-discuss
| |
| 11:04 | and it seems like someone has uploaded a patched library in unstable
| |
| 11:04 | i am thinking i should just go ahead and backport it
| |
| 11:04 | <vagrantc> hm. i thought i was subscribed to the bug report...
| |
| 11:06 | <ogra> stgraber has a fixed libxcb package in his PPA
| |
| 11:07 | afaik it was a 4 line patch
| |
| 11:07 | <vagrantc> epsas: seems like it will also be allowed for a stable release update: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/05/msg00221.html
| |
| 11:12 | <moldy> hi
| |
| 11:17 | <sbalneav> stgraber: ok, gimme a sec or two to come up with a patch
| |
| 11:18 | <moldy> is anyone here involed with ubuntu and/or thin-client-manager? it would be nice if someone could take a look at this bug :) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thin-client-manager/+bug/373100
| |
| 11:19 | <sbalneav> stgraber: I'm just branching a fresh verision of ldm-trunk to patch against.
| |
| 11:19 | <Gadi> moldy: was this the PPID thing from last week?
| |
| 11:20 | <moldy> Gadi: yep
| |
| 11:20 | <Gadi> did that fix it?
| |
| 11:20 | <moldy> Gadi: for me, it did
| |
| 11:21 | <Gadi> and yet, you are here again
| |
| 11:21 | :)
| |
| 11:21 | <moldy> Gadi: it would be nice if the fix was incorporated soon :)
| |
| 11:21 | i would also appreciate additional information
| |
| 11:21 | <Gadi> it only will be if you post the fix to the bug report
| |
| 11:21 | :)
| |
| 11:21 | <moldy> Gadi: i did ;)
| |
| 11:21 | <Gadi> oh
| |
| 11:22 | <moldy> i don't quite understand why the author of that code greps for PPID in the first place
| |
| 11:22 | <Gadi> ah, I see
| |
| 11:22 | sorry
| |
| 11:22 | <moldy> i am also wondering wether there is a more robust way to implement this functionality
| |
| 11:22 | grepping through the output of cli tools always is a little awkward, it can break because of localization and the like
| |
| 11:22 | <Gadi> well, I believe he uses ps and grep to differentiate LTSP connections from other remote connections
| |
| 11:23 | <moldy> yep
| |
| 11:23 | but why the PPID thing? :)
| |
| 11:23 | <Gadi> prolly neurotic
| |
| 11:23 | eh, ogra?
| |
| 11:23 | <sbalneav> moldy: We used to have a "kill -1 PPID" as part of the ltsp process
| |
| 11:23 | <Gadi> we all have our neuroses
| |
| 11:23 | <sbalneav> it's since been eliminated.
| |
| 11:23 | <moldy> sbalneav: ah :)
| |
| 11:24 | <ogra> thin-client-manager is dead since several releases ...
| |
| 11:24 | i just didnt get around to remove it from the archive, its idling in universe since some time
| |
| 11:25 | <moldy> ogra: ah. does "dead" mean that it is just lacking a maintainer?
| |
| 11:25 | <Gadi> ubuntu needs a "limbo" repository
| |
| 11:25 | <ogra> moldy, since two years
| |
| 11:25 | so its 4 ubuntu versions behind
| |
| 11:25 | <Gadi> would you say its getting moldy?
| |
| 11:25 | :)
| |
| 11:25 | <moldy> :p
| |
| 11:26 | i'm interested in keeping this alive, it's a nice tool, in principle
| |
| 11:26 | <alkisg> moldy: talk to Lns, he's also looking to revive it
| |
| 11:26 | Remaille has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:27 | <moldy> alkisg: cool, thanks for the hint
| |
| 11:27 | alkisg: "Lns" is the nick here?
| |
| 11:27 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 11:27 | moldy: https://code.launchpad.net/tcm-ng
| |
| 11:27 | <moldy> nice, i will take a look at it
| |
| 11:27 | <ogra> moldy, well, the idea was to have the nost minimal possible gui maintenance tool for connected thin clients
| |
| 11:28 | then someone bloated it with vnc crap and it blew up to a horrible piece of UI
| |
| 11:28 | <moldy> hehe
| |
| 11:28 | <ogra> s/to/into/
| |
| 11:31 | <alkisg> ...and https://launchpad.net/tcm-ng
| |
| 11:31 | <ogra> well,. feel free to do whatever you want with it
| |
| 11:31 | <epsas> vagrantc - hmm - does this mean that a patched library may be in testing -- or that i should go ahead and patch the sources myself
| |
| 11:31 | <ogra> why -ng though ?
| |
| 11:32 | just keep the name
| |
| 11:32 | artista_frustrad has quit IRC | |
| 11:33 | <ogra> i think my initial idea of the smallest possible UI even my mom could use and understand failed anyway, users suffer featuritis
| |
| 11:33 | * alkisg doesn't know why the -ng, Lns is behind this. | |
| 11:34 | <highvoltage> heh
| |
| 11:34 | <ogra> well, up to him, imho it doesnt need renaming ... its dead and if it comes to new life it can well keep the name
| |
| 11:35 | <vagrantc> epsas: someone's proposing to make an upload to stable-proposed-updates, if they haven't already.
| |
| 11:36 | <nubae> ng = next generation I believe
| |
| 11:36 | :p
| |
| 11:36 | <ogra> nubae, sure
| |
| 11:36 | <alkisg> I think we wants to merge another of old ogra's programs (don't remember the name), that why he changed the name? Bah, he'll tell us when he gets here.
| |
| 11:37 | <ogra> yeah, i know :(
| |
| 11:37 | * alkisg guesses ogra doesn't like the all-in-one tools | |
| 11:37 | <ogra> but up to him, i dont maintain either of them
| |
| 11:37 | not if they were kept ditinct by design all the time, no
| |
| 11:38 | it was on purpose that i didnt write a all in one super bloated overloaded tool
| |
| 11:38 | <nubae> heh
| |
| 11:39 | <ogra> bt i never had the time to actually care for them and its up to the new maintainer to decide how it should be
| |
| 11:42 | Remaille has quit IRC | |
| 11:43 | <moldy> is there any way to get that patch into ubuntu despite the package being dead?
| |
| 11:43 | with the patch, at least the basic functionality is not completely broken for current ubuntu installations
| |
| 11:44 | i'm not familiar with the ubuntu processes
| |
| 11:44 | <ogra> find a sponsor ... https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors
| |
| 11:44 | <moldy> ogra: thanks
| |
| 11:46 | <Gadi> can it be ported to ARM ? :P
| |
| 11:46 | <ogra> its pygtk ...
| |
| 11:46 | no need for porting
| |

| |
| 13:28 | <Gadi> matttttt: if you are getting that far, you may be better off checking the user's ~/.xsession-errors instead

| 13:59 | <sbalneav> !ask
| |
| 13:59 | <ltspbot`> sbalneav: "ask" is Don't ask to ask a question, simply ask it, and if someone knows the answer, they'll respond. Please hang around for at least 15 minutes after asking a question, as not everybody constantly monitors the channel.
| |
| 14:00 | <sbalneav> rybl: go agead
| |
| 14:00 | ahead
| |
| 14:00 | * vagrantc notes that that's shorter than !question | |
| 14:00 | * vagrantc should merge the two | |
| 14:01 | <rybl> I have just installed an ubuntu 9.04 LTSP server. I can successfuly boot a client, but it does not seem to be getting a chroot enviornment. I can see /opt/ltsp/i386 from the thin client. Any ideas why?
| |
| 14:03 | <sbalneav> If the client boots, you've got a chroot environment.
| |
| 14:04 | <vagrantc> unless it's an initramfs prompt
| |
| 14:04 | <sbalneav> If you've logged in on the thin client, you're and you either browse with nautilus, or open an xterm, then you're looking at the server.
| |
| 14:04 | <vagrantc> rybl: what do you mean by "boot" ? and "see /opt/ltsp/i386"
| |
| 14:06 | <rybl> The client comes up with a login window. I can login using credentials from the ltsp server. Then on the client I can navigate to /opt/ltsp/i386. I was under the impression that I should not be able to do this b/c that should be the root of my enviornment.
| |
| 14:06 | pleese bear with me, this is my first encounter with LTSP
| |
| 14:07 | <vagrantc> ah, yes. as sbalneav said, you're actually logged into the server *though* the client.
| |
| 14:07 | hanthana_ has quit IRC | |
| 14:07 | <vagrantc> so all the files you see will be on the server.
| |
| 14:08 | <rybl> So how do I change this? What have I done wrong?
| |
| 14:08 | <sbalneav> Nothing, this is the way ltsp's supposed to be :)
| |
| 14:09 | !docs
| |
| 14:09 | <ltspbot`> sbalneav: "docs" is For the most current documentation, see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
| |
| 14:09 | <moldy> Lns: hi :)
| |
| 14:09 | <vagrantc> feel warm and comforted that you are logged into the same computer no matter which thin client you're logged into :)
| |
| 14:09 | <moldy> Lns: i'm the guy who sent you that e-mail earlier :)
| |
| 14:09 | <Lns> hi moldy
| |
| 14:09 | moldy: about tcm-ng?
| |
| 14:09 | <sbalneav> rybl: if you're interested, there's some docs that explain the boot process, and what you're getting when you log in.
| |
| 14:09 | <moldy> Lns: yep
| |
| 14:10 | Lns: i'm currently trying to set up a development environment to "get my feet wet"
| |
| 14:10 | <sbalneav> rybl: but the long and the short of it is, that's how ltsp works: it basically gives you clients that behave like you were logged in on the console.
| |
| 14:11 | <Lns> moldy: awesome! Like I said in the mail, you might want to head over to #lns and talk to yanqui about it. He's leading the dev on this project
| |
| 14:11 | <rybl> Ok, so I guess I'm just confused at what /opt/ltsp/i386 is for.
| |
| 14:11 | <moldy> Lns: ok, will do
| |
| 14:12 | <Lns> rybl: when you open a shell from the GUI of a TC, you have a shell on the server.
| |
| 14:12 | rybl: when you CTRL+ALT+F1, and log in (given you've enabled an acct in the chroot), you have a login on the TC itself.
| |
| 14:13 | <moldy> Lns: you don't happen to know what i need to do in order to run the current trunk, do you? i suspect i need to install that dbus stuff somewhere...
| |
| 14:14 | <Lns> moldy: I have no clue unfortunately :( try looking at https://launchpad.net/tcm-ng - it might have some details on that
| |
| 14:14 | cliebow has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:14 | <Lns> Wish I had more info for you
| |
| 14:15 | <moldy> Lns: ok, thanks
| |
| 14:15 | <rybl> thanks all for your help.
| |
| 14:16 | <vagrantc> rybl: think of each thin client as an extra keyboard/mouse/monitor for the server, and the operating system in /opt/ltsp/i386 is just enough to connect you to the server.
| |
| 14:30 | stgraber: ok, maybe this release cycle i can help you split ldm-themes* into their own source package(s)? :)

| |

| 15:27 | <stgraber> vagrantc: would be great ;)
| |
| 15:29 | <vagrantc> stgraber: what do you think would be better: one new source package with all the themes, or a new source package for each theme?
| |
| 15:30 | <stgraber> a single one should be good enough, as long as I don't have to carry those in the .diff.gz
| |
| 15:31 | <vagrantc> yeah, that should be easy to do. probably easiest as a "debian" native package
| |
| 15:31 | CAN-o-SPAM has quit IRC | |
| 15:31 | <stgraber> sbalneav: the patch seems good enough for inclusion, I don't think we have any distro in final freeze at the moment so I guess best would be to include it, tag and do some testing with it
| |
| 15:33 | <vagrantc> a fine time to shake things up a bit :)
| |
| 15:34 | stgraber: should i base everything off of http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/ldm/ldm_2.0.40-0ubuntu2.dsc ? or do you have another upload in the works?
| |
| 15:35 | stgraber: and is there a bzr branch i should work with, or just directly on the debian dir?
| |
| 15:37 | <moldy> guest account login problem: i can manually ssh into the server fine from a client shell, but ldm throws me back at the login prompt after hitting the guest button. any ideas?
| |
| 15:38 | <stgraber> vagrantc: no pending upload for the theme
| |
| 15:38 | vagrantc: the theme is currently in bzr ~stgraber/ltsp/ldm.jaunty I'd think
| |
| 15:40 | <moldy> this used to work until yesterday, no idea what stopped it from working :-/
| |
| 15:41 | spectra has quit IRC | |
| 15:41 | <moldy> oops, wrong, it worked until i started fooling around with tcm...
| |
| 15:42 | weird
| |
| 15:42 | <vagrantc> it hasn't beem maintained for a reason :)
| |
| 15:43 | stgraber: ldm.karmic?
| |
| 15:44 | <moldy> vagrantc: i'm working the -ng stuff... i'm just kinda surprised it breaks logins :)
| |
| 15:44 | * Lns doesn't see how any of that could affect logins at all.. ? | |
| 15:46 | <moldy> Lns: dpkg --contents tells me that it installs some xession stuff, i suspect some of this breaks it
| |
| 15:46 | after purging tcm-ng, logins work again
| |
| 15:47 | <Lns> yikes
| |
| 15:48 | <moldy> no big problem :)
| |
| 15:52 | <stgraber> vagrantc: ah, right I started the one for karmic
| |
| 15:59 | <Lns> Does anyone using Ubuntu 8.04 regularly subscribe to -backports repo? If so, can you vouch for its general stability?
| |
| 15:59 | (regarding LTSP stability of course)
| |
| 15:59 | loather-work is now known as katz | |
| 15:59 | katz is now known as loather-work | |
| 16:04 | pmatulis has joined #ltsp | |
| 16:06 | <Lns> hmm, looks like backports only has a few things in it anyway..
| |
| 16:15 | Remaille has quit IRC | |
| 16:16 | <vagrantc> stgraber: what about changing ldminfod to ldm-server?
| |
| 16:17 | stgraber: i've already got a bzr branch with the ldm-ubuntu-themes package in it's own, now i'm working on removing it from ldm.
| |
| 16:35 | <stgraber> vagrantc: yeah, I guess I'll be renaming ldminfod to ldm-server to follow what you did in Debian
| |
| 16:35 | <vagrantc> stgraber: ok, i'm pushing two branches now...
| |
| 16:36 | stgraber: https://code.launchpad.net/~vagrantc/ltsp/ldm-without-ubuntu-themes and https://code.launchpad.net/~vagrantc/ltsp/ldm-ubuntu-themes
| |
| 16:37 | stgraber: the first should be merged into your ldm.karmic branch, and the second should become it's own source package
| |
| 16:38 | stgraber: i can work on a branch based on ldm-without-ubuntu-themes that at least partially syncs with debian
| |
| 16:42 | <stgraber> ok, merged the former, I'll need to see how I can upload that though as I probably won't have the right to upload a new source package ...
| |
| 16:42 | <vagrantc> ah, i'm in a similar boat with debian :)
| |
| 16:43 | maybe i should have done the other sync'ing first
| |
| 16:45 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
| 16:46 | <stgraber> vagrantc: would it make sense to split each theme into its own binary package ?
| |
| 16:47 | that'd help decrease the CD size for example (at least for Ubuntu)
| |
| 16:47 | <vagrantc> stgraber: i think it would, yes.
| |
| 16:48 | stgraber: but i'm mostly aiming at anything that can reduce the ubuntu/debian diff, and simply splitting them into another source package was the biggest thing to tackle :)
| |
| 16:48 | <stgraber> ok, will do that, will need to sort that uploading issue anyway first, otherwise I'll end up with either conflicting packages or missing themes :)
| |
| 16:48 | <vagrantc> yeah.
| |
| 16:58 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
| 17:01 | elisboa has quit IRC | |
| 17:17 | <vagrantc> stgraber: ok, i added a few more commits to merge that should bring it closer to sync with debian: https://code.launchpad.net/~vagrantc/ltsp/ldm-ubuntu-debian-sync
| |
| 17:18 | and hopefully shouldn't cause you troubles in ubuntu, but it's untested.
| |
| 17:18 | i did go so far as to build the ldm-ubuntu-themes package, and it was virtually identical to the one uploaded to karmic
| |
| 17:20 | <stgraber> ok, will merge that too and then wait for the release team :)
| |
| 17:22 | <vagrantc> will be a lot easier to manage themes without having to mess with uuencode and all that.
| |
| 17:25 | stgraber: oh, you'll have to track down copyright info for all those themes.
| |
| 17:25 | stgraber: and update debian/copyright
| |
| 17:25 | i suspect they're all cannonical except the one mentioned.
| |
| 17:26 | stgraber: and i just incremented the version- no idea what you want to do with that.
| |
| 17:32 | <stgraber> got the +1 from the release team
| |
| 17:33 | I'm not sure what was the reason of that uuencode ... was that to workaround some debian policy stuff ?
| |
| 17:36 | <vagrantc> you can't represent a .png file in the diff.gz
| |
| 17:36 | since it was in the debian dir
| |
| 17:36 | by moving it to an upstream tarball or native source package, you don't have a .diff.gz, everything goes into a tarball :)

| |
| 17:56 | GGD_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 17:58 | <vagrantc> i should probably add it to the default ldm theme, too...

| 17:59 | lupine_85 has joined #ltsp | |
| 18:04 | <stgraber> vagrantc: hmm, that recommend for ldm-server may be an issue ...
| |
| 18:04 | we install recommends by default in Ubuntu ...
| |
| 18:05 | <vagrantc> stgraber: those were all things i'd want installed by default, but not absolutely necessary... but feel free to change as you see fit.
| |
| 18:06 | especially: ltspfs, gnome-session | x-session-manager | x-window-manager ...
| |
| 18:08 | i think xauth is needed for LDM_DIRECTX and libasound2-plugins may be needed for the pulseaudio/alsa compatibility... but again, you know what's needed on ubuntu. i just added those as i didn't think they'd be a problem.
| |
| 18:08 | that should help with people who install ubuntu-server and don't install a desktop ... at least they'll end up with something. :)
| |
| 18:09 | <Lns> ACTION just had a vision for an ltsp commercial... "Time it takes to install a new system - Linux+LTSP, vs. Windows." --- split screen, 2 admins, 2 timers - both plug in machines, turn them on... LTSP client boots up in ~45sec, timer stops at 0:45. Second admin still waits for Windows to boot up, first time license agreement acceptance, create administrator password, log in, remove systray icons, join to domain, reboot, .... all the while, 1st ad
| |
| 18:10 | <vagrantc> could do something similar for windows terminal server, no?
| |
| 18:10 | lupine_85 has quit IRC | |
| 18:10 | <vagrantc> i.e. if you could workstation install times vs. a thin client with a preconfigured server, it's not a fair comparison
| |
| 18:12 | GGD has quit IRC | |
| 18:12 | <Lns> true, but windows non-thin-clients are much more typical
| |
| 18:12 | so it'd target a much wider audience
| |
| 18:13 | * Lns is thinking of school environments mostly | |

| 18:51 | <stgraber> vagrantc: just uploaded the new packages to my PPA to see how well it works before pushing that to the archive
| |
| 18:51 | <vagrantc> stgraber: cool
| |
| 18:52 | <stgraber> I guess I'll need to file a bug report if I want the release team to understand what's going on :) with ldminfod becoming ldm-server and the themes moving to a separate source package and 4 binary packages that's not that easy :)
| |
| 18:52 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
| 18:52 | <stgraber> and I guess the upgrade path will likely be broken so will have to check that later :)
| |
| 18:53 | <vagrantc> could do some incremental changes
| |
| 18:53 | <stgraber> well, it's easier to have one big request of moving 5 new packages to main than having to do it 5 time :)
| |
| 18:56 | * vagrantc may be fighting with filesystem corruption on a mail server for the forseeable future | |
| 19:03 | Lns has quit IRC | |
| 19:18 | <vagrantc> stgraber: you could make a transitional ldm-ubuntu-themes that depends on all the others...
| |
| 19:19 | <stgraber> right, that would make sense, currently I made ldm-ubuntu-theme replace -themes but that won't work for users of the other themes
