I had a feeling it was pulling it in because I didn't delete the prebuilt packages... so this time around I deleted the libtool-2.2.4 package and it just now crashed with:
00:01
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/libtool-2.2.4" have been masked.
00:01
<ltspbot>
Beer30: Error: "!!" is not a valid command.

All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/libtool-2.2.4" have been masked.
00:03
...ugh. I think it is probably because I unmaksed pulseaudio-0.9.15-r51.... so disregard for now until I can rebuild it at work tomorrow. tired.... so very tired; can't think. g'nite all.

nubae: hi! Just wondering... If I put the fati386 chroot to a different partition, could I boot the server with it? (so that teachers would be able to customize it by using a GUI)

Hi. I'm computer engineering student and i'm start to using Linux 1 months ago. I must start dhcp deamon, but i can't start. Because i can't configuration dhcpd.conf file. Is someone help me?
02:46
<alkisg>
Adem: what distro/version are you using?
02:46
<Adem>
Pardus 2009
02:47
<alkisg>
Never seen that one. Anyway, can you upload your dhcpd.conf to http://pastebot.ltsp.org ?
02:47
<Adem>
Ok. I'm uploading now.
02:49

02:52
<alkisg>
Adem: also, run this command in a terminal, and upload it's output again to pastebot: ifconfig -a
02:52
<Adem>
okay
02:53
<ltsppbot>
"Adem" pasted "ifconfig -a output" (27 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/484

02:54
<alkisg>
Adem: you have 2 nics, one of them has ip=192.168.33.16, and the other one doesn't have an IP.
02:54
Where are your ltsp clients connected? In eth0?
02:55
<Adem>
Yes, i'm trying on eth0
02:56
<alkisg>
So, instead of modifying dhcpd.conf, you could just set your eth0 ip.
02:56
Is there an /etc/network/interfaces file in pardus?
02:57
<Adem>
No, net_tools, ppp and wireless_tools files only
02:58
<alkisg>
Adem: you should find a way to set your eth0 to use IP=10.0.0.1
02:58
Google for that, I have no idea how to do it on pardus.
02:59
<Adem>
Thank you for interests alkisg. I am searching now
02:59
<alkisg>
Google for something like "pardus set static ip"
02:59
<Adem>
Thank you, if i found answer, i will write you. Thank you.

alkisg: pong
06:23
<alkisg>
stgraber: hey man
06:23
Sorry if I sent to many messages :)
06:23
I just sent another one about making ica-launcher send the ltsp client hostname instead of the server hostname
06:24
But in order for this to _always_ work (and not only on the default setup) the ltsp scripts should expose the hostname in an environment parameter or in an xprop
06:24
<stgraber>
alkisg: something like $LTSP_CLIENT you mean ?
06:25
<alkisg>
Yes
06:25
But LTSP_CLIENT only has the IP, not the client hostname
06:25
<stgraber>
indeed
06:26
<alkisg>
Now in italc I'm seeing all clients as "servername" - not really useful as it is
06:26
<stgraber>
right, I usually change that for the username instead
06:27
<alkisg>
You mean from the italc GUI? That only changes the second column, not the first one, which remains "servername"
06:29
<stgraber>
http://paste.ubuntu.com/256850/
06:29
that will help once it's in Ubuntu
06:29
<alkisg>
Perfect
06:29
and a line in ica-launcher, and then upload it to ppa :)
06:29
You're great!
06:30
Thanks a lot man
06:30
<ogra>
stgraber, what will you gain from that ?
06:30
hostname isnt set
06:30
well, set to "ltsp" everywhere
06:31
<alkisg>
ogra: no, that's been changed to "ltsp1234"
06:31
I've sent a patch for that last year
06:31
<stgraber>
ogra: that has been changed recently
06:31
<ogra>
hrm
06:31
<stgraber>
well, like 6 months ago, not sure you can call that recent :)
06:32
<alkisg>
It's calculated based on the subnet netmask, i.e. from ltsp1 to ltsp#max-clients-that-the-subnet-mask-allows
06:32
<ogra>
how does that work if you hand out hostnames via dhcp or if you want to run a properly configured local DNS ?
06:32
<alkisg>
So for 255.255.255.0 => ltsp1 to ltsp255
06:32
<ogra>
has that been tested properly in both cases ?
06:33
<alkisg>
But for 255.0.0.0 => some millions
06:33
<stgraber>
I hope we use the DHCP hostname if there is one and use that generate hostname as fallback
06:33
<alkisg>
Me and vagrantc had tested it, seems ok...
06:33
<ogra>
we omitted all the DNS stuff for years because there are so many special cases you can run to
06:33
i was alwas reluctant to do that change unless we can be sure all of them are covered
06:33
<alkisg>
The client hostname isn't really used anywhere in the default case, is it? It's just as a convenience for the teacher...
06:34
<ogra>
remote syslog
06:34
<stgraber>
anyway, got to go to the office now, I pushed that hostname change + a bugfix.
06:34
<alkisg>
thanks stgraber
06:34
<ogra>
if you set up a DNS that hands out names that differ your syslog will hang infinitive
06:35
<alkisg>
names sent by dhcp take precedence over the ltspXXX ones
06:35
So if someone has set up a dns, he shouldn't even be seeing ltspXXX...
06:35
<ogra>
ye, but was it tested with a set up DNS at all
06:36
its a common case if you dont have a separate TC network to add the clients to DNS
06:36
<alkisg>
Ah. I think so, but I'm not 100% percent sure
06:36
I think the code checks to see if the hostname is set before defaulting to ltspXXX
06:36
<ogra>
thats why i was opposed to make that change, we had it in very early versions
06:37
and had a lot of complaints back then
06:37
<alkisg>
It's been upstream for some time now, I didn't hear any complains...
06:37
btw, another patch has also been applied, which sets the ltspXXX name based on the *mac* address instead of the ip address
06:37
<ogra>
likely because the dapper users still didnt upgrade :P
06:37
<alkisg>
Heh :)
06:37
You're probably right on that! :D
06:38
<ogra>
well, i dont think it does matter what you put *in* the name (MAC, IP, random UUID, timestamp) as long as overriding it works from the services that usually can override it
06:39
<alkisg>
Yeah I think this works as planned
06:39
<ogra>
dhcp is one, DNS is the other
06:39
<alkisg>
Hmmm dns
06:39
?
06:39
I know dhcp can ask all the dns names while initializing, but dns itself, how?
06:40
<ogra>
right, dhcp can aks DNS names and set your hostname according to the answer
06:40
thats what i'm referring to
06:40
<alkisg>
OK, I think we tested that.
06:40
I think it also works correctly when passing hostname as a kernel parameter
06:40
(ip=X:X:X:X:hostname:X)
06:40
<ogra>
i'm *not* talking about setting the hostname from dhcpd.conf
06:41
<alkisg>
I get it
06:41
Let me find the dhcp directive for that dns thing...
06:41
<ogra>
just check if its properly overridden
06:41
else you will get massive probs with remote syslogging
06:42
silly syslog ...
06:43
<alkisg>
We're talking about `get-lease-hostnames true`, right?
06:43
<ogra>
i think so
06:43
<alkisg>
OK, I think we checked that.

you know where to find the profile.qs file?
11:36

I'm starting over from scratch because I think my system was tainted due to trying to rebuild ltsp so many times. So, hopefully, it'll all go smoothly this time. I'll let you and johnny know if I run into anything.

<knipwim>
is the $BASE from ltsp-build-client --base available to all distros in the plugin dir?
13:25
<ogra>
yes
13:26
like $ROOT
13:26
or $ARCH
13:26
best is to look through the plugins in the common/ dir
13:26
that should definately have all shared vars that are used
13:26
<knipwim>
would it be a good idea to change the 035-update-kernels plugin, used in some of the distros
13:27
to call for /usr/sbin/ltsp-update-kernels --basedir ${BASE} ?
13:28
otherwise you need to repeat that step after installing, if you have a different base

I don't have "nfs"... there's only nfs-server-kernel and nfs-common, and both fail to load if I change exports & restart

johnny, which xmpp client was it u were using?
16:09
<johnny>
gajim
16:10
pidgin 2.6.0 is looking much more like a respectable im client these days tho
16:10
it supports service discovery now
16:10
and now has voice and video

well, at least has the most XEPs in it, though totally not working completely...
16:12
quite buggy... but its a nice sign of things to come
16:12
<erieslabnx>
I know this is off topic but is there anyone who can help me with a Sabayon question here?
16:12
<nubae>
I also like the share your desktop option in empathy... sadly missing from pidgin
16:13
<erieslabnx>
I wanna edit user profiles from my laptop at home, rather than sitting at work all day doing it... Can I copy a config file or something and do the same thing or no?
16:13
<nubae>
still, I've been asked to evaluate the best xmpp client for use in schools (for my job)
16:13
I like cocinnella cause it does the shared whiteboard
16:14
<erieslabnx>
nubae can you do custom branding on cocinnella?
16:15
<nubae>
well its OS so I'd imagine so
16:15
its coded in TK, so pretty easy to hack
16:15
<erieslabnx>
ok sorry for the interruption :)
16:16
<nubae>
erieslabnx, someone created something new like sabayon
16:16
called custard
16:16
seems like a possible replacement based on xnestting too
16:17
<erieslabnx>
will look it up now :) is it as advanced as sabayon or still an infant?
16:17
<Beer30>
http://http://custard.sourceforge.net/ fyi ;)
16:18
<erieslabnx>
brand new :)

instead of working on sabayon
18:01
<Ahmuck-Sr>
johnny: i don't think it's sad it exists
18:01
it does something sabayon doesn't do for one
18:01
it uses the dot files for configuration of many apps
18:01
<johnny>
sure.. but shouldn't it be part of sabayon then/
18:02
instead of another choice for users
18:02
and split development work
18:02
etc
18:03
<Ahmuck-Sr>
look at linux, we have mplayer, kaffiene, etc.
18:04
it's split development, but talking with sbalneav sabayon doesn't have this option and it's klunky to get around in
18:05
linux has always been about split development. someone saw a need and developed something for it
18:05
bbl
