Is it possible to use local printers on thin clients? and, is it possible to print on them from other clients?

ogra: btw, in case you haven't noticed I've split with vagrant's help ldm-ubuntu-themes to a separate source package and the themes in 4 different binary packages. That should help for CD space.
07:06
<ogra>
i did !
07:06
vagrants name on karmic-changes doesnt pass me unnoticed ! :)
07:07
his first official mentioning in an ubuntu upload
07:07
<stgraber>
yeah :)
07:07
just need to get an archive admin to allow everything to enter back in main and that should work :)
07:08
and an ACL change so I can then upload updated ldm-ubuntu-themes ;)

shouldnt be a prob since its just a split

ogra: who's the copyright holder for the backgrounds in ldm-ubuntu-themes
09:42
<ogra>
me i guess
09:42alkisg has quit IRC
09:42
<ogra>
unless they changed from my initial ones
09:43
<stgraber>
my upload got rejected because of missing copyright informations ...
09:43
ogra: what license ?
09:43
<ogra>
humm
09:43
who rejected them ?
09:43
<stgraber>
Riddell
09:43
<ogra>
they are plain colored rectangular pngs
09:44
<stgraber>
yeah and they already were in the archive ...
09:44
anyway, what license should I mention in the copyright file so Riddell is happy ? ;)
09:44
<ogra>
whatever we use for wallpapers, no idea ... i really dont feel like plain colored rectangles need copyrights :P
09:45litlebuda has joined #ltsp

<stgraber>
ok CCBYSA that'll be then ;)
09:45
<ogra>
fine
09:45
what a waste of time :P
09:45
<stgraber>
yeah ...
09:49
<ogra>
stgraber, note that its <ogra@canonical.com> Canonical LTD.
09:49
<stgraber>
argh, I put @ubuntu.com :(
09:50
<ogra>
i did it on work time, ubuntu.com works too, but Canonical Ltd. needs to be mentioned
09:53
<stgraber>
10:48 < Riddell> stgraber: full copy of CC included?
09:53
10:48 < Riddell> copyright mentioned for ubuntu and variant logos?
09:54
...
09:54
<ogra>
sigh
09:54
<stgraber>
I really like wasting my time for that ...
09:54
<Lumiere>
just remember you're wasting your time
09:55
so they don't get Canonical laywers chewing on their rears
09:55
<stgraber>
Lumiere: well, in these case we're the copyright owners ourselves so ...
09:56
<Lumiere>
yes, but they need to have that information
09:56
when some other lame lawyer comes with a hatchet
09:57
<ogra>
then it all boils down to the person who added the stuff
09:57
which in the end is a canonical employee ...
09:58
<stgraber>
ogra: where can I find that license for copy/pasting it's not on the system and their website is confusing ...
09:59
<ogra>
ubuntu-artwork package ?
09:59
just use whatever is used in there
10:01
<stgraber>
and now that ubuntu logo ...
10:01
<ogra>
same license, its in ubuntu-artwork, no ?
10:02
<stgraber>
oh, indeed, great :)
10:07
<ogra>
debian/copyright from ubuntu-artwork should apply to all logos
10:08
<stgraber>
ok, this one should be good but it really becomes stupid for a copyright file to be 314 lines long ...
10:08
<ogra>
just copy paste it, add me for the solid color wallpapers and be done
10:08
s/add me/add me to the authors/
10:09
<stgraber>
that's basically what I did, separate the authors for the various themes and logos by copy/pasting from ubuntu-artwork and what I got from the author of the ubuntu one
10:10
<ogra>

10:10
Copyright 2004-2006 Canonical Ltd.

stgraber, i dont think the authors have anything to do with the logo
10:29
(line 28 to 30)
10:29
<stgraber>
ogra: well, they were in the author file just next to the logo in ubuntu-artwork so ...
10:29
<ogra>
well, the logos are all Copyright 2004-2006 Canonical Ltd.
10:29
*all* of them
10:29
(you dont mention the x,ed,kubuntu ones
10:30
)
10:30
http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/TrademarkPolicy needs to be in there
10:30
hmm, 2004-2009 indeed
10:31
ignore the authors they apply to the ubuntu-artwork package, not to the logo

<mib_w087u4>
greetings!
11:00
<bieb>
I am looking into trying to get a school to use LTSP... can MS office be served with Wine? or CodeWeavers? from the ltsp server?
11:01
<mib_w087u4>
I hope there is someone that can lend me a bit of a hand. I am trying to make a virtual machine network boot installer. I have the network boot part working. but how do i instead of just doing net boot get it to install over network?
11:01
this is on ubuntu 9
11:02
<johnny>
bieb, why? ready to pay for license for each usage?
11:02
mib_w087u4, that's not ltsp.. there are plenty of tutorials for install over network
11:02
search of netinstall
11:03
<mib_w087u4>
have you googled that term yourself lately?
11:03
<johnny>
sure
11:03
<mib_w087u4>
its like looking for an opinion everyone has one version of it.
11:03
<johnny>
and?
11:03
<sbalneav>
mib_w087u4: this might be useful
11:03
http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/
11:04
<johnny>
i just searched for ubuntu netinstall .. found good results right away
11:04
<sbalneav>
Or this
11:04
http://mediakey.dk/~cc/ubuntu-netboot-and-netinstall-with-pxe/
11:04
<bieb>
johnny: We already have the per seat licensing
11:04
<johnny>
bieb, .. sure .. then you could
11:05
it'll just work
11:05
<sbalneav>
bieb: I beleive msword and excel are both certified to work with codeweavers
11:05
<johnny>
oh wait.. i forgot the critical part.. the local wine install directory :(
11:05
<sbalneav>
And, by extention, should work with wine
11:05
<johnny>
sbalneav, i wonder when they are going to allow to install apps in /opt/wine/Program Files
11:05
altho a symlink would help i guess
11:06
<mib_w087u4>
Curiouse what is the differance between ltsp and pxe?
11:06
<johnny>
ltsp uses pxe
11:06
often anyways
11:06
<sbalneav>
johnny: yeah, I've done that in the past. I just install the program for a "shared" user, then manage things with symlinks
11:06
<mib_w087u4>
ok so how is netboot / net install not something covered by ltsp?
11:06
<johnny>
sbalneav, sure.. but they should support it
11:06
<bieb>
ok.. should I use Wine? or Codeweavers?
11:06
<johnny>
ltsp does cover netbooted ltsp
11:07
bieb, find out what works good enough.. try free wine.. if it's not good enough try codeweavers
11:07
<sbalneav>
mib_w087u4: because the ltsp project is about providing a thin client solution, not a netinstall solution.
11:07
<bieb>
ok..
11:07
<johnny>
i'm glad my users are happy enough with openoffice. and i don't have to worry about licensing
11:08
<mib_w087u4>
openoffice is a great program for the money :)
11:08
<johnny>
no.. it's a great program in general
11:08
i don't run windows.. so it is very helpful
11:08
<bieb>
in the header message of this channel it says to check out Ubuntu/debian/Fedora, for awesome integration.. any good links for Ubuntu??
11:08
<mib_w087u4>
the UI is a bit clunky for the spreadsheets.

ogra: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall

lol people just have to have bots.
11:09
i remember how much fun i used to have re-programming bots.
11:09
<bieb>
johnny: this project is for a Law School... the students have to turn in papers and such with Word, Excel, Powerpoint. If I was able to change all the faculty (and outside publishers) over to OOo I would
11:11
<johnny>
bieb, then you're gonna have to setup symlinks
11:11
in /etc/skel
11:11
to point to a local installed directory
11:11
<bieb>
the only other issue I have to resolve is the "pay for print software"
11:11
<johnny>
for Program Files
11:12
<cyberorg>
bieb, word/excel etc are names of the programmes that do word processing/spreadsheets, same as ford, vw etc are the names of cars
11:12
<johnny>
hello cyberorg !
11:12
<bieb>
no kidding cyberorg
11:12
<cyberorg>
you dont have to convert anyone, they will still be doing spreadsheets and wordprocessing
11:13
not like you are asking them to use gimp in place of wordprocessor :)
11:13
hi johnny, et al :)
11:15
<bieb>
publishers for Law journals and such wont accept anything that isn't in Word (not even Word Perfect anymore). And I know you can save OOo documents as .doc, but the formatting is not always the same. Trust me you are preaching to the choir.. I have told students in the past to go get OOo and even StarOffice back in the day.
11:15
<cyberorg>
bieb, pdf?
11:15
<bieb>
they wont take .pdf
11:15
they are a bunch of pricks when it comes to moving into the future
11:15
<alkisg>
Word 2007?
11:15
:P
11:16
<cyberorg>
so give them .doc, .xls, ooo saves in that format too ;)
11:16
<sbalneav>
bieb: If you're interested, I work for Legal Aid Manitoba, and we use nothing but OpenOffice.org
11:16
We send documents in both word and pdf with no difficulty.
11:16
<bieb>
you damn Canadians... always thinking forward.. :P
11:17
<alkisg>
I don't think putting wine in /opt will be a trivial task, because the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key should go in /opt but HKEY_CURRENT_USER should stay in ~/.wine. The same for C:\Program files as opposed to C:\Documents and settings\user.
11:19
<cyberorg>
stgraber, if you guys copyright rectangles will we still be allowed to use it? :)
11:19

I will say though using vmware to prototype things is so usefull. Right now i am trying to see if my install works and i am honestly not 100% sure if ts working or just writing over my functional syste,... but if it does i can go back to the last snapshot :)

Does anyone know any hard general numbers of LTSP installs around the world? Is the LTSP wiki the only place where people have recorded 'success stories' ?
12:27
<bieb>
anyone know of a good "pay for print" system that I can install on LTSP?
12:28
<Lns>
bieb, hmm, that'd probably be something more general to Linux, not LTSP specific..

12:33

well, the description isn't accurate with the changes stgraber made
12:34

i mean "ldm-server - LTSP display manager"

that's a lot of LTSP!

13:00
hrm..ncomputing looks interesting. Unique idea...not sure how it could scale better than normal workstations as far as administration
13:00
well, not a very unique idea i guess, since *nix has been doing it for forever

looks like you're a great person to speak of the benefits thin clients offsetting climate change :)

Miserable
14:00
It's been one of the coldest springs on record
14:00
cold and wet.
14:00
<Lns>
heh
14:01* CAN-o-SPAM thinks wrong question
14:01
<Lns>
I'm not sure if it was Puckatawagan or not but I was listening to a radio talk with a native from somewhere that was curiously similar in name, they were talking about climate change
14:02
for humans to survive, we need 2 things: a global change in consciousness, and...of course, LTSP!
14:02
<sbalneav>
I *notice* climate change. It cold when it shouldn't be. Hot when it shouldn't be. More wet than it should be. Etc.
14:02
Well, everyone needs ltsp.
14:02
<Lns>
True.

build_all of what?
14:46
<gort242z>
Building 5.
14:46
the entire lbe/ltsp pkg.
14:46
<sbalneav>
gort242z: lbe isn't 5
14:47
that's 4.2
14:47
<gort242z>
ooooooookie.
14:47
<sbalneav>
Where did you download the source from?
14:48silva42 has joined #ltsp
14:48
<gort242z>
cvs
14:49
<sbalneav>
yeah, that's definitely 4.2
14:49
I beleive there
14:49
's fedora packages for ltsp5
14:49
might those work for you?
14:50
You could download the srpms and try recompiling those.
14:50
<gort242z>
I can try them - but I'd rather just go from source.
14:50
ah - okay.
14:50
<sbalneav>
if you want to go from source, ltsp is kept in bzr in launchpad
14:51
bzr branch lp:~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk

hi
22:42
<sbalneav>
Hello
22:47alkisg has joined #ltsp
22:50
<try2free>
sbalneav: can you help me?
22:50
i set lts.conf for using old monitor now if i logout screen goes blank why?
22:54
<sbalneav>
try2free: Don't know. Could you tell me a bit more about your setup?
22:55
<try2free>
XSERVER = VESA
22:55
X_VIDEORAM = 4096
22:55
X_COLOR_DEPTH = 16
22:55
X_MODE_0 = 800x600 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync
22:55
that's on lts.conf
22:59
<stgraber>
sbalneav: hey, btw found a funny issue
23:00
sbalneav: remember that our Xauthory is in /var/run/ldm-xauth ?
23:00
the issue is that the locking procedure for Xauthority is to write a <filename>- file as a lock but of course the user doesn't have right access to /var/run/
23:00
so anything requiring locking on Xauthority fails :)
23:01
<try2free>
sbalneav: can you figure out why?
23:01johnny has joined #ltsp
23:14
<sbalneav>
try2free: No, sorry. What version of LTSP are you using?
23:15
stgraber: We used to write things in /tmp for this reason.
23:15
<alkisg>
(morning all) stgraber: I'll be going to the school with the ldm-hanging-on-logout problem in half an hour, do you want me to test sbalneav's patch?
23:16
<sbalneav>
I'd suggest either moving Xauthority back to there, or alternatively, creating a /var/ldm directory with 1777 permissions
23:19
<alkisg>
try2free: distro/version?
23:23
<sbalneav>
try2free: Which version of LTSP are you using, on what distro of linux?
23:26
<try2free>
ubuntu 8.04
23:26
how to know ltsp version?
23:26
<sbalneav>
Well, if it's 8.04, it's probably ltsp5
23:27
Do you get a login screen?
23:27
<try2free>
yes, i can login with no problem
23:27
but if logout get blank screen
23:28* alkisg suggests this for try2free and leaves for school:
23:28
<ltsppbot>
"alkisg" pasted "Custom X_HORZSYNC/X_VERTREFRESH" (6 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/365
23:29
<try2free>
alkisg: thanks i'll try first... now
23:29
<alkisg>
Ooops actually X_RANDR wansn't there in 8.10, replace it with X_MODE_0=800x600
23:29
Bye all
23:29
Eerm... 8.04 I meant

<sbalneav>
try2free: If you bump up the video ram to something larger, does that help?
23:31
<try2free>
8192?
23:31
let me try
23:31
<sbalneav>
Might try that.
23:32
<johnny>
scott, hello
23:33
<stgraber>
sbalneav: welll, IIRC we added the pid to that file so we could have more than one ldm
23:33
sbalneav: my suggestion would be to make /var/run/ldm-xauth-xyz a directory owned by the current user (changed by a ldm rc script) and then have the Xauthority inside it
23:33
makes sense ?
23:33
<try2free>
alkisg : same, i'll try sbalneav instructions now
23:34
<sbalneav>
stgraber: Seems ok.
23:34
Hello johnny
23:36
<stgraber>
ok, going for some sleep now (just did an iTalc stability debugging and fix, so need some sleep ;)). See you tomorrow.
23:36
<try2free>
sbalneav: still, blank screen after logout
23:36
sbalneav: i am using old monitor
23:38
<sbalneav>
When it's sitting at the black screen, what happens if you type ctl-alt-backspace?
23:38
<try2free>
somebody know how to set clock in login screen? because it's not syncronnize with server
23:39
sbalneav: keep blank screen
23:40
<sbalneav>
can you ctl-alt-f1?
23:40
<try2free>
sbalneav: seems like blank screen and computer hang/not responding?
23:40
sbalneav: same condition
23:41
<sbalneav>
Then the computer's actually hung up.
23:41
Is this all machines you have doing this, or only one thin client?
23:42
<try2free>
only this client and with old monitor
23:42
if using new monitor no problem at all
23:42
<johnny>
blame the monitor
23:42
get a new one :)
23:43
<sbalneav>
With a new one, do you use the vesa driver, or just the autodetected driver?
23:43
<try2free>
sbalneav: autodetect
23:44
sbalneav: can you help me with clock in login screen?
23:44
sbalneav: how to syncronize with server clock?
23:44
<sbalneav>
Then I'd say it's probably a bug in the vesa driver that's hanging the machine up.
23:45
there's no synchronization from the server clock.
23:45
No one's written one.
23:45
It just gets the clock from the bios.
23:45
<try2free>
sbalneav: why my clock different in login screen?
23:45
sbalneav: so my bios time is incorrect?
23:46
<loather-work>
you could run ntpd on the terminals.
23:46
or alternatively have it ntpdate some ntp server on boot.
23:46
<sbalneav>
try2free: correct.
23:46
<loather-work>
but that's kinda hackish
23:46
<sbalneav>
loather-work: well, no.
23:46
<try2free>
sbalneav: thanks, see you
23:47
<sbalneav>
Setting the clock on a thin client shouldn't be an "ltsp" problem, per se.
23:48
<loather-work>
no, it shouldn't per se, but if having accurate time is important then it might be worthwhile to hack ntpd into the ltsp chroot.
23:48
always something the individual user can do if they need that functionality.
23:49
<sbalneav>
right.
23:49
<try2free>
sbalneav: i see my bios time is correct. i mean my welcome login screen clock different with server
23:49
<sbalneav>
try2free: define "different"?
23:49
how MUCH different?
23:49
minutes? hours? how many hours?
23:50
<loather-work>
bbl.
23:50
<try2free>
now my server time 11.45am and my ltsp client 6.45pm
23:51
something like that
23:51
range about 6 hours
23:51
<johnny>
and your bios time is?
23:51
sounds like a difference between local time and gmt
23:52
my clocks are always gmt
23:52
in the bios
23:52
<loather-work>
6:45 PM would be about accurate in CEST
23:52
<sbalneav>
try2free: then I'd say the timezone isn't set correctly in the chroot.
23:52
<try2free>
and my bios time is about 11.45am same with server
23:52
<johnny>
and GMT would be?
23:52
<try2free>
sbalneav: how to figure out?
23:52
<sbalneav>
either that, or the chroot's configured to look at the bios clock as if it was set to UTC.
23:53
<johnny>
yeah
23:53
<try2free>
johnny: i don't know about setting GMT
23:53
<loather-work>
johnny: -2 hours from CEST. (so about 4:52PM)
23:53
<sbalneav>
try2free: try setting your bios clock to the current time UTC
23:53
<johnny>
ah
23:53
that's big diff then
23:53
wrong
23:54
<loather-work>
anyhow, really leaving. bbl.
23:55
<sbalneav>
bye loather-work
