Hi all
05:21
Network problem with ltsp-ubuntu
05:21
I set up the server for test with a temporary IP Adress
05:22
Now it works, I want to put it in production, and I changed the IP adress
05:22
The client boot is ok, but when I try to log on it (ldap based auth), it doesn't work
05:23
Is there a file somewhere in the chroot where the IP address of the server is written ?
05:27
P.S. : local login with the same account is ok
05:30
<Appiah>
what does /var/log/auth say on the servers about the login
05:32
<zeltron>
I've brought my server back to the configuration that works, to try to diagnosticate the problem
05:33
So I need 2 minutes to go back to state that doesn't work

05:51cliebow has quit IRC
05:59
<zeltron>
Appiah: Sorry, a little bit longer than I thought !
05:59
/var/log/auth on the server doesn't say anything about the login
06:00
<Appiah>
check the clients /etc/ldap.conf then
06:00
and /etc/nsswitch.conf
06:00
is ldap defined?
06:01
<zeltron>
ldap.conf contains only commented lines
06:02
nsswitch .conf contains nothing about ldap (passwd, grou and shadow are configured with compat)
06:02
But it worked fine before I changed the IP address from the server !
06:03
It's the server that check for login, not the client ?
06:05* alkisg_work hasn't seen all the chat, but reminds about ltsp-update-sshkeys and ltsp-update-image that is needed after changing the server ip
06:06
<zeltron>
alkisg : Of course... I think that's it ! I try this
06:14
alkisg : It's OK ! Not used to those ltsp-update-...
06:14
Thanks a lot
06:15

<Alocado>
hello
06:42
i've a problem while my ltsp clients are booting
06:43
the clients send dhcp discover/selects for their ip after kernel boot... tfp works, nbd too (i think)
06:43
*tftp
06:46
any idea?
06:52
<Appiah>
:)
06:52zirconiumks has quit IRC
06:52
<Appiah>
whats the problem then Alocado ?
06:56Blinny has joined #ltsp
07:09
<Alocado>
Appiah, i get the message "Running /scripts/init-premount" and after that there are only dhcp requests...
07:10
"Sending select for xx.xx.xx.xx"
07:10
but no answer but i don't know why... when i try to reboot the dhcp gives the same ip again
07:10
<Appiah>
is this on all clients?
07:12
<Alocado>
yes
07:12
<Appiah>
all the same hardware?
07:12
<Alocado>
no
07:13
dhcp before tftp boot works... after running /scripts/init-premount" it doesn't work
07:13
<Appiah>
had a running envoirment before or trying to setup now?
07:13
<Alocado>
new setup... the dhcp server is a cisco switch/router (very big thing) and the ltsp server is a vm
07:17
but... why 2 dhcp requests!?
07:19cliebow has joined #ltsp
07:25
<Alocado>
aaahh IPAPPEND 3 solves the problem
07:26
<Appiah>
:)
07:26
<_UsUrPeR_>
does someone know how to clear /away on xchat?
07:27
<Appiah>
is it not like in irssi? first you type /away <something> then just type /away without something after to clear
07:27
if you did /away without typing anything after, you're not away
07:27
(irssi-style)
07:29
<cyberorg>
_UsUrPeR_, Alt+a
07:30
<Alocado>
Appiah, /back
07:30
oh... _UsUrPeR_ ... /back
07:31
<Appiah>
ah
07:34
<_UsUrPeR_>
thx :)
07:35
<Alocado>
the irc protocol would accept away without any parameters but xchat has its own usuage with away/back
07:38
<cliebow>
x
07:39
<Appiah>
hmm , is there any tool to directly deny access to a application for a group of users (School use)
07:43
<_UsUrPeR_>
well I am back :)
07:44
appiah: chown/permissions is about he only real way to disallow use
07:44
I have done a lot of work with sabayon, and it's almost there
07:44
but not completely student-proof
07:46
<Appiah>
I have yet to use sabayon since its crashes all the time , and just last week learned that there are non-crashing PPA packages
07:46
but have yet to try them. But isent that just for profile making?
07:46
<_UsUrPeR_>
Appiah: check with sbalneav about that. He has his own PPA, and in 9.04 it does it's job, if not a little quirky.
07:47
<Appiah>
I'm talking about dissallowing 1user or 1 group in a few clicks and the application shouldnt launch
07:47garymc has joined #ltsp
07:47
<_UsUrPeR_>
ahh.
07:47
<Appiah>
and then 5min later allow
07:47
example
07:49
<_UsUrPeR_>
Appiah: oh. That makes things tougher.

so, aside from the booz, what else got finished?
09:17
<ogra>
ltsp should be down to two or three open bugs in LP
09:18
stephane got mad and closed them all :)
09:18
<Gadi>
and here I thought we only had 2 or 3 open bugs
09:18
:)
09:18
<ogra>
it was something like 75 or so
09:19
<Gadi>
couldnt be bugs - maybe "suggestions"
09:19
"requests to work properly"
09:20
<cliebow>
dtrask-no-karma got an email addy for scott?

ltspbot: seen ogra
09:36
<ltspbot>
sbalneavbb: ogra was last seen in #ltsp 17 minutes and 21 seconds ago: <ogra> it was something like 75 or so
09:36

moo
09:36
<sbalneavbb>
good flight?
09:36
hey gadi
09:36
<ogra>
well, so so
09:36
was one of the rather bumpy ones ...
09:37
i thionk we rode the storm we had the day before in maine
09:37
hey only did about half the service they had announced because the flight attendants needed to be seated to often
09:37
<sbalneavbb>
ahhh. Well glad to see you made it safe and sound
09:38
<ogra>
i did, exhausted though
09:38
i'm only back home since a few hours
09:38
are you still on the road ?
09:39
<sbalneavbb>
I won't make it home 'till tomorrow night. Then, I start hacking on D-Bus :)
09:40
<ogra>
heh
09:40
<sbalneavbb>
yeah, last leg of the drive
09:40
<Gadi>
guess you need d-blackberry to hack on d-bus
09:40
<sbalneavbb>
sorry, slow typing on a BB
09:40
bwahahaha
09:40
<ogra>
i'd love to discuss the design with Keybuk in case he sees any drawbacks
09:41
but everyone is to busy with release atm ... i doubt i can grab his ear before fri.
09:41
<sbalneavbb>
Talking to keybuck was early on in my list of priorities
09:41
<ogra>
right, he wont have time atm
09:41
release is thu.
09:42
and he is going through the remaining boot issues with the new bootprocess
09:42
<sbalneavbb>
I'll do this one like I did ltspfs. I'm going to design the whole thiing on the wiki before I write any code
09:43
<ogra>
good idea
09:43
<sbalneavbb>
we need to get this right the first time
09:43
<ogra>
yep
09:44
<sbalneavbb>
ok, we're on the highway, and it's getting bumpy to type. I'll be on later today from jim's palce
09:44
seeya

Hello, I need help connecting to the internet through firefox localapp. It used to work but I had to rebuild a new image and now I can't get it to work. I followed the same step as the previous time and I can't see what is missing. Can someone help me debug this?

adrien : ubuntu ?
10:27
<adrien>
yes
10:27
9.04
10:27
64 bits
10:28
<zeltron>
/etc/resolv.conf in chroot is read-only
10:28
<adrien>
it has 644 permission
10:28
should that be different?
10:28
<zeltron>
you have to write a little script that makes a chown on this file at client boot
10:29
<adrien>
I think I did following the wiki ThinClientHowtoNat
10:29
it's in lst.conf right?
10:29shawnp0wers1 has joined #ltsp
10:29
<zeltron>
in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
10:30
add the line :
10:30
<adrien>
or do I need to have a script for chown also? (right now it's only doing a chmod 644)
10:30
<zeltron>
RCFILE_01=/etc/init.d/chmod-resolv.sh
10:30
<adrien>
ok, this one I have
10:30
<zeltron>
and of course, create the script chmod-resolv.sh in /etc/init.d
10:31
<adrien>
in the server or in the chroot?
10:31shawnp0wers has quit IRC
10:31
<zeltron>
It must contain : chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
10:31
in the chroot
10:31shawnp0wers1 is now known as shawnp0wers
10:31
<zeltron>
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/
10:32
of course, you must ltsp-update-image after that !
10:33
<adrien>
ok. It was already in the chroot and there is the right line in it
10:33
so how to be sure it is being read?
10:34
<zeltron>
(Don't forget chmod +x /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/chmod-resolv.sh before update)
10:34
<adrien>
right!
10:35
<zeltron>
You can put another line like : echo "coucou" > /tmp/test
10:35
in your script if you want to be sure it's red
10:36
<adrien>
that's what I must have been missing. I going to give it a try and restart a client
10:36
good idea
10:36
<zeltron>
Ok... good luck
10:36
<adrien>
thanks a lot!
10:44
<alkisg>
zeltron: that bug was *only* in the beta release, it was fixed for the final release
10:44
You just need to specify DNS_SERVER and SEARCH_DOMAIN in lts.conf
10:44
No need for any scripts whatsoever...
10:45
ah, sorry, adrien ^^^
10:47
<adrien>
zeltron: it works! such a little thing to think of but without you I would never have thought about it! You made my day
10:48
alkisg: it seems the script was needed indeed, because I had the SEARCH_DOMAIN and DNS_SERVER in lts.conf but it wouldn't connect. Or was it because the RCFILE was still there?
10:49
<alkisg>
adrien: it's supposed to work with no scripts. I haven't heard of anyone having a problem after the beta...
10:50
<adrien>
Maybe I'm running an older version? But I'd think ltsp in 9.04 is pretty up to date
10:52
however the fact is that making the script executable made the connection available again, so it might be used somewhere
10:54
<Gadi>
cyberorg: ping
10:55
<cyberorg>
Gadi, hiya :)
10:55
<Gadi>
hey! quick question
10:55
does Suse run /etc/X11/Xsession in ldm
10:55
<alkisg>
adrien: you can see your version with sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ dpkg -l 'ltsp*' | grep ^ii
10:55
<cyberorg>
yes /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
10:56
<Gadi>
cyberorg: ah, ok
10:56
<ogra>
heh, xdm
10:56
<Gadi>
and is that consistent across Suse/Novell, etc
10:56
<alkisg>
adrien: jaunty was shipped with 5.1.65-0ubuntu2
10:56
<cyberorg>
yes all suse versions
10:56
<ogra>
thats so dead :)
10:56
<Gadi>
cool
10:56
thx
10:57* ogra guesses suse keeps that path for hysterical raisins only ...
10:57
<ogra>
i cant imagine a distro shipping xdm nowadays
10:57
<Gadi>
mmm... raisins
10:57
bbiab
10:58* cyberorg pimps openSUSE-Edu 11.2 hybrid live iso(dd to usb or burn to dvd), it has LTSP running out of the box
10:58
<cyberorg>
Gadi, you may want to get that in case you want to do some quick checking
10:59
<alkisg>
cyberorg: is that hybrid thing a openSUSE specific trick? Or other distros also will do it?
10:59
<cyberorg>
alkisg, mandriva does it too
10:59
<alkisg>
Nice. I hope we'll see it in Ubuntu sometime...
11:00
<adrien>
alkisg: this is the version I have. So I can't explain why I still need the script.
11:00
<cyberorg>
yeah, it is new syslinux thing
11:00
<ogra>
unlikely that ever enters ubuntu
11:00
<alkisg>
Ouch. syslinux in Ubuntu is really out of date...
11:00
<ogra>
on purpose
11:00
<cyberorg>
ogra, "hysterical" sounds quite funny :D
11:01
<alkisg>
ogra, my newer PCs can't even boot with the syslinux provided with karmic :(
11:01
I had to get the debian one
11:01
<ogra>
did you file a bug ?
11:01
<alkisg>
Sure, there was one already
11:01* ogra wonders why the age of the HW would have any impact here
11:02
<alkisg>
And cjwatson said he accepts patches, but has no time to do it right now...
11:02
<ogra>
right
11:02
<alkisg>
I guess it's a controller thing, or a bios thing... I don't really know, but chain32 hanged my pcs
11:02
<ogra>
and he wont switch to the new syslinux
11:02
that would mean to rewrite half the world
11:03
<alkisg>
I wonder why does it need to be so much patched for Ubuntu...
11:03
<ogra>
it doesnt
11:04
but there are a ton of other things that make use of it, they would need rewrites
11:04
which is why i said "that would mean to rewrite half the world"
11:04
<alkisg>
Ah, I see... so the problem isn't really syslinux, but the other things that use it
11:04
<ogra>
yes

Is there any way to let my users change their own real names? (== the comment field in /etc/passwd)
11:11
<ogra>
i dont think thats exposed anywhere in the UI
11:12
<zeltron>
alkisg : My ltsp server is jaunty, and I needed this script for resolv.conf too
11:13
<alkisg>
ogra: It's in users-admin, but needs sudo access.. :(
11:13
<ogra>
yeah
11:13
<alkisg>
zeltron: my ltsp server is jaunty, and I don't need this script :)
11:13
<ogra>
because it edits a root woned file
11:13
*owned
11:13
<alkisg>
ogra: yeah, but chfn allows it
11:13
If you properly modify login.defs
11:13
But it doens't support utf8 chars
11:13
:(
11:14
usermod doesn't, though... so I wonder if anyone make a suid root utility for that case
11:14
*usermod doesn't support modifying the commend field, but does support utf8 chars
11:14
<zeltron>
alkisg : Ah... that's a mistery !
11:15
<alkisg>
zeltron: if you restore everything to its original settings, and just set DNS_SERVER and SEARCH_DOMAIN in lts.conf, doesn't it work for you?>
11:15
*I mean to delete any RC_SCRIPTS you put there...
11:15
<ogra>
alkisg, well, patch gnome-about-me to user chfn then ;)
11:16
<zeltron>
alkisg : I've got only one RC_SCRIPT there, and DNS_SERVER and SEARCH_DOMAIN are in lts.conf
11:16
<ogra>
*use
11:16
<alkisg>
ogra, gnome-about-me doesn't expose the comment field at all :(
11:16
<ogra>
right
11:16
fix it ;)
11:16
<alkisg>
Heh. I bet I'll get shouted at for policy reasons
11:16
<ogra>
it exposes the real name
11:17zeltron has quit IRC
11:17

add a "change" button next to it
11:17
<johnny>
/me awaits the karmic koala
11:17
ready to upgrade my intrepid box at the store
11:17
<ogra>
that calls a dialog which in turn uses chfn in the backend
11:17
<johnny>
altho i hve to hold back wxwidgets and sqlaclhemy :(
11:18
<alkisg>
Where do you use wxwidgets?
11:18
<johnny>
our POS program
11:18
infoshopkeeper
11:18
<alkisg>
ogra, chfn won't work, I'll have to also patch that to make it utf8 aware :D
11:18
<johnny>
isn't theree some more standard way to do this kinda thing?
11:18
<ogra>
great !
11:18
<johnny>
would be nice to have a profile
11:18
<ogra>
so you fix to things in opne go !
11:18
<alkisg>
Bah... I'll just make a pygtk wrapper for personal use :D
11:19
<ogra>
pfft
11:19
<johnny>
would be better to use something like vcard or elsewise
11:19
<alkisg>
It's the beurocracy I'm afraid of, not the code... ;)
11:19
<ogra>
bah
11:19
<johnny>
as right after that. you'll want to store something else
11:19
<ogra>
coward
11:19* alkisg bows head and accepts that he can't beat 40 years of unix heritage...
11:20
<ogra>
heh
11:21
<alkisg>
So... are you BTSers going to finally decide to create an ltsp.conf?
11:21
<ogra>
??
11:21
<alkisg>
for all the $BASE, NBDPORT etc variables...
11:21
<johnny>
we already have that
11:21
<ogra>
ugh
11:21
i hope not
11:21
<johnny>
$BASE .. but not NBDPORT
11:21
for the specific commands
11:22
<alkisg>
johnny: nah... most things are provided only as command line parameters
11:22
<johnny>
if you look at the code it sources various files
11:22
ltsp-build-client, ltsp-update-kernel, ltsp-update-sshkeys
11:22
<ogra>
why would you want that in a conf file ?
11:22
<johnny>
they all source the equivalent configfile
11:22
<ogra>
it never changes once you created your chroot/image
11:22
<johnny>
ogra, something like gobo linux does
11:22
where they rewrite all the paths to something more like osx
11:22
<ogra>
it will just add an extra point to mess up the system
11:23
<alkisg>
ogra, e.g. there's a bug filed for nbdport and the lack of a way to properly set it
11:23
<ogra>
then gobo should use the right paths as defaults in their port of ltsp
11:24
alkisg, you can set it in pxelinux.conf
11:24
s/conf/cfg/
11:24
<alkisg>
which gets overwritten after update-kernels :)
11:24
<ogra>
right, thats a bug we should fix
11:24
instead of inventing new config files as hackish workarounds ;)
11:25
<alkisg>
All the "fashionable" packages have a .conf file... why not ltsp? :P :D
11:25
<ogra>
youre such a fashion junkie :P
11:26
really, lets rather make the code DTRT
11:26
<alkisg>
DTRT?
11:26
<ogra>
do the right thing :)
11:27
<alkisg>
There are places in the code where hackish autodetection is used, and which would benefit from a .conf file
11:27
<ogra>
the config where NBDPORT is set is pxelinux.cfg ... we already have a config file
11:27
in stead of fixing the hackish autodetection ?!?
11:27
<alkisg>
Yes. I.e. provide a reasonable default, and if the admin want something different, he could just modify the .conf file
11:28
<ogra>
we set a reasonable default
11:28evilx has joined #LTSP
11:28
<alkisg>
Sometimes autodetection is much worse than that
11:28
<ogra>
the prob is that admin changes get overwritten with that default
11:28
<alkisg>
OK gimme 5' to find specific code examples..
11:28
<ogra>
so lets *fix* the code, not add more hacks
11:29
and yes, i'm aware thats true for many places
11:29
no need to search for them :)
11:29
<alkisg>
OK
11:29brendan0powers has joined #ltsp
11:29
<ogra>
make sure to file bugs for each of them if you come across one
11:30
so we can fix stuff in the right places
11:30
<alkisg>
Let's take nbdport as an example. Either pxelinux.cfg should *not* be automatically generated, or it should provide for a way to set nbdport, right?
11:30
<ogra>
it should simply check if the admin changed it
11:30
<alkisg>
I don't think that's a good way to do it
11:30
<ogra>
and respect the chnages the admin added by parsing it
11:30
<alkisg>
If the admin put 1234 lines in there, and 123 of them have an nbdport for some other reason?

11:31* ogra doesnt

11:31

we have way to many conf options where we could have done bvetter with better auto-behavior

11:31
<brendan0powers>
sbalneav: perhaps open authentication server(openas), or warren suggests authentazilla:)
11:32
<alkisg>
Sure, autodetection is a good thing. I just don't think it should be used for *everything*
11:32
Heh, the lts.conf is another story ;)
11:32
<ogra>
it grew exactly to what i always tried to avoid
11:33
and i'm very sad that i dont have the time to add better solutions to many of the things :(
11:33
<johnny>
ogra, perhaps you should add a TODO for that
11:34
even if you can't implement it yourself
11:34
<ogra>
that means i need time to do a close code audit
11:34
and i dont even have the time for that
11:34
<johnny>
just add as you notice something
11:34
<ogra>
and given that i know whats ahead for me in lucid i will even have less time for ltsp
11:34

The problem with specifying things specifically to machines is the idea that those machines will be replaced, and the next person to manage whatever LTSP server I setup will mostly be using the GUI, and not know how to even begin editing the config file to remove its specific settings.

no, I mean actually log into one of those thin clients, so we can work on it while ur logged in at it

these P1's need soundcards too, I think. their sound is playing from the server, while every other machine has pulse-audio working on them and the sound plays from them. so a 15 dollar videocard and a 6 dollar soundcard is pretty cheap for a thin-client. :/

do you have a VGA-to-DVI dongle on the VGA output?

There is no VGA output...there are two DVI ports

ah, ok, but the driver is not aware of that

<kusznir_>
There is most definitely no TV output...
13:05
Yea, that seems to be the problem...how to tell the driver what it really has :)
13:05
<Gadi>
it could be that your thin client hardware actually uses DVI attached to a VGA channel
13:05
let's try this:
13:05
from the xterm window, do:

xrandr --output VGA --left-of TMDS-1 --auto

Question: I have one old PC that I'm using as a thin client that has an nvidia card in it..How do I get the nvidia binary driver installed inside the chroot (assuming its needed over the nv driver)
13:31
<Lns>
kusznir: I would assume simply chrooting to the client chroot and running the nvidia install binary?
13:31
then specifying it in lts.conf..? I might be wrong though
13:32
<alkisg>
kusznir_: that isn't a good idea unless (a) all your clients have nvidia or (b) you have a different chroot for this client
13:32
That's because the nvidia drivers replace the opengl libraries with their own versions
13:33
<kusznir_>
alkisg: good point....I didn't think about that.
13:33
<alkisg>
If you really need it, just install neuvaou...

Gadi: thanks a lot! I've had a look at your link and it will do just fine. But true it shouldn't be needed in the first place.

Gadi: glad the ltspfs mounter.d hooks proved to be useful! :)

<tstafford>
so i'm trying to get an rdesktop session to allow access to local usb devices... and i found a bunch of mailing list messages saying this can be done by installing ltspfs in the chroot and redirecting /media/root to the client
14:35
but i'm not able to make that work
14:36
maybe someone can help me find what i might be doing wrong, i'm running ubuntu 9.04

wow. ltspfs hasn't seen a single update since mid july.
14:59
that's feeling rather stable.
15:00
<tstafford>
Gadi: I'm getting \\tsclient\drives, but it's empty. I can access the device from an LDM session though. Also, I don't see /media/root on the thin client
15:00
<vagrantc>
though i probably mucked a few things up in the last round of commits.
15:01
<Gadi>
tstafford: are you sure ltspfs is installed in the chroot?
15:01
when you are on the thin client, do: dpkg -l ltspfs
15:01
or: ls /usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter
15:01
<vagrantc>
or from the server: dpkg --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 -l ltspfs
15:01
<Gadi>
ah, but on ubuntu, that may not be equivalent, vagrantc
15:01
<vagrantc>
true enough.
15:02Sarten-X has quit IRC
15:02
<vagrantc>
if they're not in sync though, that's probably because someone was making changes that they were expecting to go live...
15:02
<tstafford>
yes all of those show that it's installed, and i have ltspfsmounter
15:03
i don't know how to copy and paste from xterm though
15:03
<Gadi>
ok, on the client, unplug the USB and plug it in
15:03
then, do ls -a /tmp/
15:03
and see if it creates a /tmp/.root-ltspfs
15:03
or some such
15:04
<tstafford>
i have .None-ltspfs
15:04
<Gadi>
aha!
15:04
you need a newer ltspfs
15:04
<vagrantc>
it's *that* bug. :)
15:04
<Gadi>
what version is there?
15:05
sounds like you're using one that vagrantc mucked with ;)
15:05
<vagrantc>
no
15:05
<tstafford>
ii ltspfs 0.5.10-0ubuntu1 Fuse based remote filesystem for LTSP thin clients
15:05* Gadi thinks he doth protest too much
15:05
<Gadi>
:)
15:05
tstafford: lets see if we can geet you at least on to -12
15:05
0.5.12
15:05
or 0.5.13
15:06
<tstafford>
can i just grab a package from karmic or something like that?
15:06
<Gadi>
you should grab the ltspfs and ltspfsd packages
15:06johnny has left #ltsp
15:06
<Gadi>
or update the sources.list in the chroot
15:06
<tstafford>
ok
15:06
<Gadi>
to include jaunty updates
15:06johnny has joined #ltsp
15:06
<Gadi>
(probably safer)
15:06
<tstafford>
ah
15:07
<Gadi>
that should get you at least 0.5.12
15:07
<tstafford>
ok great
15:07
thanks :)
15:07
<Gadi>
remember to upgrade ltspfsd and ltspfs
15:07
since they kinda go together
15:08
<vagrantc>
i wonder if we shouldn't set up an == versioned dependency.
15:08
<tstafford>
ok... i should probably do the same on the server environment too right? for ltspfs
15:08
<Gadi>
probably, if it isnt already
15:08
but less important

Hello. My first time in this chat. I have installed ltsp on hardy. Client boots and i can login but i have no windowmanager. I tried to chroot into /opt/ltsp/i386/ and install kubuntu-desktop. Is this the correct way?
15:15
<tstafford>
it doesn't look like it's in jaunty-updates btw http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ltspfs
15:16
<Gadi>
Guest89556: not at all
15:16
the chroot is a minimal OS to get things up and running
15:17
when you log in through ldm, you are logging into the server
15:17
so it is important that the server have a window manager, desktop, etc
15:17
<Guest89556>
ok i need to install the windowmanger on the server themself?
15:17
<Gadi>
right - it is a terminal server
15:18
only the display is pushed back to the thin client
15:18
any app you want to use, you should install on the server
15:18
<Guest89556>
hmmm, this is not what i want. I think i need a vm for the server
15:19
<Gadi>
what is it you want?

hello
16:04
I am using ubuntu 9.10 beta, and I chose "ltsp server" from the alternate mode, and I'm now able to boot a thin client. But I think the process stops halfway through... it mounts 'floppy0' on the desktop, but in gnome-terminal / is still the same / as the server, and there's no /oldroot. Is this correct?
16:05
<Lns>
Guest89556: so that's your problem
16:07zeltron has joined #ltsp
16:11
<Lns>
Guest89556: From the shell, type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
16:11
that will pull all of your needed desktop environment packages down and install them on the server
16:14
<Guest89556>
I know how to install the desktop. But I don't want it. I thought that the client got whole system from chroot. But now it all make sence.
16:15
<johnny>
mcarter, that's correct..
16:16
i don't know about the process stopping halfway through, but what you said is how it works
16:16
<mcarter>
johnny, I thought the filesystem would mount /opt/ltsp/i386 as / on the thin client
16:16
<johnny>
it does.. sorta
16:17
but you only see that on the console
16:17
as in i fyou logged into the virtual console at ctrl+alt+f1-6
16:17
<mcarter>
oh, gotcha
16:17
<johnny>
otherwise yo'ure logged into the server
16:17
see
16:17
!docs
16:17
<ltspbot>
johnny: "docs" is For the most current documentation, see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
16:17
<johnny>
pretty sure it explains all that
16:18
<mcarter>
Well, the thin client doesn't seem to be picking up changes from my ltsp.conf
16:18
<johnny>
lts.conf ?
16:19
there is no ltsp.conf
16:19
<mcarter>
right, typo, sorry
16:19
<johnny>
typo in your file?
16:19
or typo in the room
16:19
<mcarter>
in the room
16:19
<johnny>
what do you have in there?
16:19
<mcarter>
though I just realized, its not automatic on this ubuntu deployment
16:20
<johnny>
automatic?
16:20
what's not automatic
16:20
<mcarter>
I have to go rebuild the image
16:20
<johnny>
which version is that?
16:20
you put the file in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
16:20
<mcarter>
I'm using the ubuntu 9.10 beta
16:20
<johnny>
so you don't have to rebuild the image
16:20
<mcarter>
oh, perfect. thanks
16:20Gadi has left #ltsp
16:21
<vagrantc>
doesn't it say that right at the top of /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf ?
16:21
<johnny>
i was just gonna say that..
16:21
<Lns>
Guest89556: you don't want your ltsp clients to get the gui?
16:21
man...that sounds dirty =p
16:21
<mcarter>
vagrantc, johnny: I used a script from a friend that overwrote that file... sorry, and thanks
16:22* Lns checks to see if gadi is around
16:23
<Guest89556>
sure, the client need an gui. Currently i read how to install an headless virtualbox on my server. The VirtualBox will host the ltsp server
16:23
thanks a lot for the info. Now i can go on........
16:23
<Lns>
Guest89556: ok i think i gotcha now
16:23
Guest89556: so you want an LTSP "boot" server basically, then a separate application server for your clients?
16:24
<Guest89556>
currect
16:24
<Lns>
aaaaaaaahhh, ok
16:24
<Guest89556>
is there an other way to create an application server?
16:25
<mgariepy>
Guest89556, did you took a look at ltsp-cluster ?
16:25
<Lns>
Guest89556: you really don't need anything besides a vanilla install of ubuntu-desktop
16:25
<vagrantc>
install ldm-server or ldminfod if available.
16:26
<Lns>
Guest89556: you point your lts.conf SERVER= to the ip of your app server and then the clients will go to that for their GUI
16:26
<Guest89556>
i need ubuntu-desktop and any programm the clients would like to start. Isn't it?
16:27
<Lns>
Guest89556: yes, on your application server
16:28
<Guest89556>
today i would like the clients to run debian sid, tomorror maybe ubuntu jaunty or hardy. I like it to switch.
16:29
<Lns>
Guest89556: cool, so that's a good way to go..brb, gonna get some lunch

I specified a custom xorg.conf file in my lts.conf, and now when the client boots it has the proper resolution on the login screen. After I login, I have a black screen (with the proper resolution) and a mouse cursor, but thats it. It seems like an x session is active, but nothing else. Any ideas what the cause might be?
