sbalneav, did you notice the sabayon update in karmic ?
09:00
<sbalneav>
Morning ogra!
09:01
ogra: No, not yet, did someone use my packages?
09:01
<ogra>
i'd like to know if they included all your fixes, there are a lot upstream changes but not a single mention of your name
09:01
they pulled a fresh upstream
09:01
<sbalneav>
I was going to do that today myself/
09:01
Does it work?

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/sabayon/2.27.0-0ubuntu1
09:02
<sbalneav>
Some of the stuff I did went upstream to Federico
09:02
<ogra>
no idea, i dont even have an ltsp install around :)
09:02
<sbalneav>
ok, I'll check it out today.
09:02
Who's the official package maintainer for that, i.e. who would have done that?
09:02
<ogra>
i was just wondering why federico didnt mention you at all
09:02
there is none, some random motu i guess

sbalneav, highvoltage is working on his motu status quite hard, get him to sponsor uploads for you ;)
09:08pasmen has quit IRC
09:08
<sbalneav>
Yeah, I will. I've got one patch in there for determining the free X display. Sabayon upstream tries to do it by contacting 127.0.0.1 on port 6000+ on a socket which fails mightily on Ubuntu due to -nolistentcp
09:09
So I wrote a C python function that does proper XOpenDisplays, which fixed some peoples bugs.

about saybon, has anybody seen the e-mails coming across the list yet about it?
09:39
in reference to the e-mail about iTalc, I'd assume that there was a definitive documentation resource somewhere?
09:39
connected to ltsp?

Ahmuck-Sr: Yeah, there's a new one out
09:50
<Ahmuck-Sr>
new documentation?
09:50
using that document when i start iTalc, i get an error
09:51
<sbalneav>
No, new Sabayon.

ok, so I am testing out Koala
09:54
the recent daily build
09:54
X is not starting when I boot my client
09:55
<alkisg>
What graphics card?
09:55
<_UsUrPeR__>
it's throwing out the error: "mktemp: too few X's in the templace `/var/run/ldm-xauth-RANDOM_STRING/Xauthority'
09:55
alkisg: DLW 1520 (Intel)
09:56
<alkisg>
Ah, never mind the card then :)
09:56
I think I saw a mention of this in recent commits...

alkisg: There's a new upstream version. Also, a motu did an update in karmic, but I don't think he's got all the patches I've worked on.
09:57
I'm going to have a look at it today, and get my ppa updated.
09:57
<alkisg>
Hmmm I can try Karmic today - will you be backporting it to jaunty?
09:57
Yey! :)
09:58
<sbalneav>
Well, my ppa's jaunty based, so yes.
09:58
<alkisg>
You can do uploads for any supported ubuntu version
09:58
<_UsUrPeR__>
I'll try a VIA chipset
09:58
see if that goes any better...
09:59
<alkisg>
_UsUrPeR__: I've seen this: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ldm-trunk/revision/1170 - I'm not sure if it's related
10:00* _UsUrPeR__ reads
10:00
<_UsUrPeR__>
alkisg: not too sure what's what there
10:01
<Ahmuck-Sr>
iTALC service not running - "There seems to be no iTALC service running on this computer or the authenticaton-keys aren't set up properly. The service is required for running iTALC. Contact your administrator for solving this problem. [OK]
10:02
<_UsUrPeR__>
ahmuck-sr: I'll get the alkisg: X starts fine with a VIA chipset
10:02
ahmuck-sr: I had the same problem with italc for a bit

<jammcq>
hey kids, how's it going?
10:03
<_UsUrPeR__>
can't quite remember what needed to be run though
10:03
it was a one-time thing
10:03
jammcq: hey
10:03
<jammcq>
hey _UsUrPeR__
10:06
<alkisg>
Ahmuck-Sr: how did you install italc? Only on the server, or to the chroot as well?
10:06
<Ahmuck-Sr>
_UsUrPeR__: yes, however the problem is, the docs don't note this
10:06
<_UsUrPeR__>
ahmuch-sr: yeah, the docs for italc are awful.
10:06
<Ahmuck-Sr>
alkisg: per the documentation
10:06
<_UsUrPeR__>
ahmuck-sr: what are you running? ubuntu?
10:07
how did you perform the installation of italc?
10:07
<alkisg>
Ahmuck-Sr: the documentation mentions *TWO* ways, did you do both of them???!!!
10:08
<Ahmuck-Sr>
?
10:08
<alkisg>
1. Installation on the server
10:08
2. Installation in the client chroot
10:09
<Ahmuck-Sr>
http://pastebin.be/20374
10:09
that's what the doc's say
10:09
<alkisg>
Installing italc normally is just a simple `sudo apt-get install italc-master`
10:10
Nothing else, and it plays out of the box
10:10
<Ahmuck-Sr>
so i'll change the docs, and dump the
10:10
Start iTalc with
10:10
Applications->System Tools->iTalc
10:10
and put it later in the document
10:10
<alkisg>
Ahmuck-Sr: no, don't change the docs, they're fine...
10:10
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/iTalc
10:10
<Ahmuck-Sr>
if they were fine, then i wouldn't have gotten the error
10:11
<alkisg>
Maybe you didn't read them all? " There are two methods of installation - Server-side and in the thin-client chroot. Server-side has the advantage of being simpler to setup and uses less RAM on the thin client."
10:11

does anyone in here know how to mount a kiwi-ltsp image in a chroot?
14:23
like /opt/ltsp/i386?
14:23
<vagrantc>
_UsUrPeR_: figure out the filesystem type using: file /path/to/image

oh nic
14:24
thanks
14:24
s/nic/nice
14:24

that should work, but i don't really know kiwi-ltsp

<alkisg>
Maybe it's because `ssh /bin/sh` doesn't include /etc/profile?
14:51
(if it includes a command, that is...)
14:51
<ball>
Anyone happen to know whether ltsp includes support for X video?
14:52
<alkisg>
ball, it's not ltsp specific, it depends on your card driver
14:52
<ball>
(on hardware with appropriate X.org drivers)
14:52
<alkisg>
...sure, xv works.
14:52
<ball>
alkisg: is the same true for AIGLX?
14:52
<alkisg>
I don't know
14:55
<ball>
ok
14:55
<alkisg>
vagrantc, klausade: if ssh was called with "/bin/sh -l" as a parameter, that would make sh function as a login shell, and /etc/profile would be sourced.
14:56
<vagrantc>
should be easy enough to try...
14:57
<alkisg>
Sure, it's in sshutils.c: command = g_strjoin(" ", "ssh", "-Y", "-t", "-M", "-S", ldm.control_socket, port ? port : "", "-o", "NumberOfPasswordPrompts=1", userathost, "echo " SENTINEL "; /bin/sh -", NULL);
14:57
<_UsUrPeR_>
33333333333.3......3.
14:57
.30.....
14:58* vagrantc thought the actual login shell used bash ...
14:58
<alkisg>
I wonder about the `man sh` page though, it says that sh examines arg 0 and if it's "-" it considers it a login shelll
14:58
Isn't arg0 the `/bin/sh` ?
14:58
<ball>
Hmm... I really want to try LTSP, but I'm going to have to go out and find some new hardware.
15:00
<vagrantc>
alkisg: not sure.
15:00
<ball>
back shortly.
15:01
...I think
15:01ball has quit IRC
15:01
<vagrantc>
alkisg: since it's using an ssh socket, i wonder if it's that simple...
15:02
<alkisg>
I don't know... I haven't dug that deep in ssh sockets yet :)
15:03
<vagrantc>
i.e. does it inherrit the originating shell's characteristics, or does each connection through the ssh socket get a wholly independent shell
15:03jammcq has quit IRC
15:04
<alkisg>
I'm more worried about the screen-scraping stuff, because an interactive shell would include a prompt etc
15:04Guest16732 is now known as johnny
15:04
<vagrantc>
alkisg: it actually does have a prompt.
15:05
<alkisg>
Hmmm sure? Not the "LTSPROCKS", I mean the "path>" prompt
15:07
<vagrantc>
"path>" prompt ??
15:07
<alkisg>
alkisg@alkis:~/tmp/ltsp-upstream/ldm-trunk$
15:07
That would have to be removed while screen scraping an interactive shell...
15:08
<vagrantc>
my guess is that the call to Xsession is actually not treated as interactive
15:08
as the Xsession script is treated as the login shell
15:08
in a sense
15:09
<alkisg>
Hmmm so maybe /etc/profile should be sourced by the Xsession script, like gdm/xSession does?

I'm having trouble with pbuilder.
15:55
wait...
15:55
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: always happy to help if i can
15:58
<sbalneav>
Hmmm
15:58
How do I enable universe again in pbuilderrc
15:58
I think that's my problem.
15:58
yeah, because xephyr's in universe...
16:03
Fixed it.
16:03
<vagrantc>
you'd have to just edit the sources.list manually, update it, and so on
16:03
<sbalneav>
Managed not to kill that braincell with beer in SF
16:04
vi /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc, add COMPONENTS="main universe"
16:04
sudo pbuilder update --override-config
16:04
<vagrantc>
but that would only affect creation of new pbuilder environments, no?
16:05* sbalneav shrugs
16:05
<vagrantc>
admittedly, i only use pbuilder (cowbuilder) regularly ... i rarely have to tinker with it
16:05
<alkisg>
pbuilder --othermirror ?
16:05
<vagrantc>
one of those, set up once and forget about it sort of thing
16:05
<sbalneav>
yeah.
16:05
well, it's working now. one of my sabayon patches is barfing, but I know how to fix that :)
16:06

Lns: computers are not like telephones because i've got 5 computers which i'll have to modify the network boot configuration just to get them to boot, in addition to hoping that it finds the video
16:13
<Lns>
Ahmuck-Sr: well i was talking specifically about thin clients
16:13
<Ahmuck-Sr>
me too
16:13
ltsp ?
16:13
<Lns>
and hopefully when you order a set of thin clients, you already know that they're compatible :)
16:13
<Ahmuck-Sr>
and using any computer for a thin clients?
16:14
or specific thin clients?
16:15pmatulis has joined #ltsp
16:15
<Ahmuck-Sr>
for computers to be like telephones, as today's telephones, one would need a handheld device that would work as a app/phone, etc. and then could bring into a lab, plug into the network and use/store info on it
16:15
<vagrantc>
Ahmuck-Sr: maybe they're not nearly as simple as telephones, but contrasted with conventional computers, thin clients are *much* closer, usually.
16:15
<Ahmuck-Sr>
which honestly is already there in some aspects if today's cell phones could boot from the network and store docs on the phone
16:16
<vagrantc>
and i think it was also comparing against conventional, old-school phones.

what's the minimum requirements for a client?
18:28
<sbalneav>
zamba: Depends entirely what you want to do with the client.
18:29
If you want sound + video + lots of graphics on the client, you'll need more oomph than someone just running a word processor.
18:29
<zamba>
sbalneav: ok.. so it's not just a screen and a keyboard as some people refer to it as?
18:30
<Ahmuck-Sr>
how is a ppa structured? just like any other ubuntu *.deb
18:30
<zamba>
there's actually some requirements at the client
18:30
<sbalneav>
zamba: Well, you're running a local X server
18:30
So, if you want to push video from the server, you're going to need a more powerful client.

Why don't you tell us what you want to do, and what hardware you have available?

18:38
<sbalneav>
Have a look in the "LDM" section of the docs there. Short answer: lts.conf in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
18:39
Either in the [default] stanza, or a per-machine stanza, if you prefer.
18:40

i have no lts.conf there, actually :)

Sabayon will now exit. There were some recoverable errors, and you can help us debug the problem by sending the log in /root/sabayon-debug-log.conf to http://bugzilla.gnome.org
18:46
<sbalneav>
Ahmuck-Sr: Hm, when did you get that?
18:47
<Ahmuck-Sr>
http://pastebin.be/20383
18:47
btw, sabayon is a big step in the right direction
18:47
sbalneav: upon close
18:47
<sbalneav>
ok
18:47
<Ahmuck-Sr>
so i noticed "openoffice". i assume that sabayon is "pluggable" ?
18:47
<sbalneav>
No.
18:48
I don't think it actually works.
18:48
Hm, I got a crash on removing a panel item.
18:48
<Ahmuck-Sr>
i was editing panel items
18:49
anyhow, so does sabayon allow pluggable application configuration options?
18:49
<sbalneav>
No.
18:49
<Ahmuck-Sr>
how does openoffice play into the scenario?
18:50
<sbalneav>
Like I say, It doesn't work.
18:50
Until OpenOffice gets around to adding some enterprise management features, it's a problem.
18:51
Sabayon's going to allow you to manage gnome desktop + a few firefox settings + lockdown editor.
18:52
Ahmuck-Sr: meh. that error tells me nothing.
18:52
Crumb, either a problem in the panel delegate code, or something in the save, I'll wager.
18:53

i didn't see firefox setting

18:57
<zamba>
ok.. cool.. it says 192.168.4.201:7.0 here

so that means no encryption is happening?

so what's the open office thingy ?
19:06
how is that coded into sabayon?
19:07
possible to set a proxy in firefox? our ISP allows us to proxy a child safe proxy
19:08
well, set it in firefox on the sabayon side and make it stick
19:11
set sugar or something else as the default browser, desktop, etc.
19:11
this is a large step in the right direction for sure
19:14
<sbalneav>
Ahmuck-Sr: ok, I've uploaded a patch. When it gets built, you can try it.

19:20Sarten-X has joined #ltsp

in ltsp ? the pulseaudio dies on the client

appears to be related to amd64 proc on server, i386 on client and maybe snd_intel kernel
19:22
happened upon 9.04 upgrade
19:23
<sbalneav>
Does it work if you use i386 on server?
19:25
Any particular reason to be 64 bit on the server, other that to get access to a lot of ram?
19:27
<Ahmuck-Sr>
it's all we have
19:28Sarten-X2 has quit IRC
19:28
<Ahmuck-Sr>
were not on a 64 bit os, but a 64bit proc
19:29
<sbalneav>
right, but you can run just regular 32 bit linux on a 64 bit processor
19:31
i.e. if you suspect the sound problem's caused by runnning 64 bit os on server, and 32 bit clients, just run regualar 32 bit linux on the server, and make sure you have a -server kernel installed that has the bigmem support compiled in.
19:31
Flash is a bugger to get going on 64 bit linux anyway.
19:31
That's what we do at legal aid.
