hello
01:38
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?

<alkisg_work>
Any messages? do they get an ip address? do they load the kernel?
03:31
<Sireorion>
1 it dont get any ip from dhcp
03:31
<alkisg_work>
What distro/version is that?
03:32
<Sireorion>
ubuntu 9.10 Ltsp v5
03:32
<alkisg_work>
Is your dhcp server running'
03:32
?
03:32
sudo invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server status
03:33
<Sireorion>
Status of DHCP server: dhcpd3 is running.
03:35
<alkisg_work>
And it was working before the reboot? Are your cables ok?
03:35
<Sireorion>
yes
03:36
changed the cables
03:36
now it come a massage "boot file server protocol not specified"

<ltsppbot>
"sireorion" pasted "lstp problems" (22 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/4
03:40
<alkisg_work>
Sireorion: is it possible that you have another dhcp server in your network?
03:41
<Sireorion>
found a successful DHCP server or relay agent - 192.168.2.8
03:41
successfully connected with bootfile server - 192.168.2.8
03:42
boot file server protocol not specified
03:42
<alkisg_work>
and that's your ltsp server?
03:43
<Sireorion>
yes 192.168.2.8
03:45
alkisg_work, i think i have to specify ltsp to use tftp
03:48
<alkisg_work>
tftp is the default boot protocol, I don't think the problem is there.
03:49
<Sireorion>
okey a freind sayed something about "option option-221 "tftp";"
03:49
<alkisg_work>
I've never heard of anyone needing such an option to boot its clients
03:50
<Sireorion>
he used that on this thin when hi had them

I'm thinking of making a package that will provide /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img *without* the chroot. It will also depend on nbd-server, ltspfs, openssh-server etc, but *not* on ltsp-server. It'll use dnsmasq as the tftp and (proxy)dhcp server.
06:24
The target group is small schools without sysadmins. Any reasons why this would be a bad idea?

Sireorion: do you have a client with a cd or floppy drive? It would be easier to debug this if you booted with gpxe (etherboot.org)
06:27
<Sireorion>
no i dont have any cd o floopy drive,
06:28
but i got an usb cd drive but isnt boot compatible with the clients
06:28
'i got cf 4 gb in it cant i just install dsl or something on that?
06:28
<alkisg>
Sure
06:29
<Sireorion>
can i do the install on a outher pc or how does that work
06:29
<alkisg>
Do you have an outer pc that you can use as a client?
06:29
That would be easier...

Morning all
08:52
<Brian_H>
what is the proper way to install new applications for thin clients? in the chroot?
08:53
morning :)
08:53
<sbalneav_ep>
Sigh, upgraded my home box last night, forgot to install sshd
08:53
now I can't get to my irssi session
08:53
having to use epiphany <shudder>
08:54
Brian_H: Are you running localapps?
08:54
<Brian_H>
no
08:54
<sbalneav_ep>
if not, then no, just install them on the server.
08:54
<Brian_H>
ok, just want to make sure "I'm doing it right" :)
08:55
so for non-local apps I can just install the app on the ltsp server (not the chroot) and it will work?
08:57
<ogra>
sbalneav_ep, epiphany ?
08:57
<sbalneav_ep>
yes.
08:57
yup
08:57

why not firefox ?

apparently it does, since I'm using it.

(do you mean empathy ?)

ogra: You know anything about cups? Apparently there was a big transition either in jaunty or i* that all printing's done via pdf
08:59
<ogra>
no, no cups specialist
09:00
<sbalneav_ep>
Hmm, I'll have to track one down.
09:00
<ogra>
i usually hunt down tkamppeter in #ubuntu-devel if i dont get along with the two prints a year i have to do
09:00

cups is scary , but was nice to me

Ubuntu 9.10 LTSP: Trying to remove the suspend and hibernate options from the Indicator-applet-session applet. How do you do it?
09:02
<ogra>
they shouldnt be shown at all
09:03
<sbalneav_ep>
Cups is broken again. I fixed it once, but I suspect that the "new all pdf all the time" method is broken too.

<arx>
ogra: they do... they don't work, but they still show up.
09:07
<ogra>
arx, file a bug against indicator-session please ... there is a patch that seemingly wasnt forward ported ... it should respect the LTSP_CLIENT env variable thats set by LDM on login
09:09
<arx>
ogra: there does appear to be a bug already... I think it's for the same thing anyway. bug #432598. it refers to gnome-power-manager though... same thing?!
09:10
<ogra>
arx, nope
09:10
thats about the gconf keys
09:11
<arx>
k
09:11
<ogra>
the fusa applet (as indicator-session was called before) had a patch that checked for LTSP_CLIENT being set in your environment (which the display manager we use in ltsp does) and didnt show these options at all
09:12
i assume you use a standard setup
09:12
and didnt tinker with things like XDMCP or some such
09:16bobby_C has joined #ltsp
09:22
<arx>
yes, standard setup... no tinkering

probably the new "green cups"
09:46
<sbalneav_ep>
Means Linux won't work at this office anymore.
09:46
Means converting to windows.
09:47
Thats what it means.
09:47
<ogra>
nah
09:47
<sbalneav_ep>
yeah
09:47
if I can't fix it.
09:47
<Appiah>
ouch
09:47
<ogra>
just fix the printer driver
09:47
what kind of printer ?
09:47
<sbalneav_ep>
It's not a printer driver proble,
09:47
it's a cups/openoffice problem.
09:47
<ogra>
well, i have seen similar stuff with HP printers
09:47
with several
09:48
<Appiah>
what's the issue there? they using the wrong paper or what?
09:48
<IHS_Volunteer>
I think I find a hardware design error in these HP's optical drives. I just found 3 of them were jammed. Took a lot of effort even with a paper clip, and physical violence to the case didn't help, either.

09:50

sbalneav_ep: what does the %%IncludeOption directive do?
09:50
<sbalneav_ep>
Include's options. Like switching paper trays.
09:50* Gadi prints envelopes fine on Intrepid
09:50

ah - so when you select a tray in the driver, it doesn't listen?

ok, so now that I have the bug submitted, I have another issue...
10:41
with jaunty, my clients would shutdown and reboot as expected. with karmic, the client hangs.
10:42
I think this is a kernel issue. Is there anyway to revert back to the "old" jaunty kernel in the chroot?
10:43
btw, here are the errors I receive on the clients screen when I try to do a reboot:
10:43
nbd0: Receive control failed (result p4)
10:43
nbd0: Attempted send on closed socket
10:44
end_request: I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 474346
10:44
error: squashfs_read_data faile to read block 0xe79d641
10:45
blah, blah, blah... a bunch more similar errors.
10:45
<alkisg>
arx: a bug for reboot in karmic was reported,
10:45
and a fix was submited (= -fp parameter to reboot or something like that)
10:46
Search in launchpad for the fix, and apply it manually, as I don't think it's in any ppa yet.

Hello all. Looking into setting LTSP up. But before I do, I have a question. I am a part time gamer myself. How is the thin-client/LTSP server for games? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Any input is appreciated.
11:24
The connection between server and switch would be dual Gig, meanwhile server/client would be 10/100.
11:32
<IHS_Volunteer>
Server could play games, the clients will be way to slow for anything that updates the screen often
11:32
<alkisg>
norbi905: you should be able to play the gnome games, but not anything sdl based :)
11:33
<norbi905>
Thanks, would this hold true for streaming movies as well?
11:33
<IHS_Volunteer>
You might be able to do 1-2 clients playing 3D games if you use DIRECTX and gigabit ethernet.
11:34
Streaming movies needs DIRECTX, and a full screened Youtube video on a 800x600 screen used 30-38MB/s on my setup.
11:34
<alkisg>
norbi905: the formula for movies, when xv is used, is: width x height x 12 bit/sec. Do your math :)

x fps, I forgot that
11:35
I.e. an 640x400@25 movie needs about 50 Mbps independed of the screen resolution (the scaling happens on the client)
11:36
A DVD needs about 125 Mbps. Barely viewable with a 100 mbps client.
11:36
<johnny>
of course.. if your clients are powerful enough to run the games locally, you can keep everything else remote
11:36
startup time will probably be a little higher
11:36
<IHS_Volunteer>
flash videos are an extra pain in the butt, by the way.
11:36
<johnny>
but the games will play better
11:37
<IHS_Volunteer>
and my time is up, later.
11:37
<johnny>
so then the benefit is centralized management
11:37
and using *most* things from the server
11:37
just not all
11:38
<norbi905>
Ok, so let me try to understand this. I can stream a DVD quality video now wirelessly on a 54 connection and it works fine. This is just a workstation remotelly connecting to a Windows share on another computer. But if I understand correctly this is not possible in a thin-client/server way?
11:39
The games I can live without, but movie/audio streaming will really put me down if it's not possible :(
11:39
<alkisg>
"I can stream a DVD quality video now wirelessly on a 54 connection and it works fine." ==> you don't send the uncompressed picture. You stream the video. LTSP sends the uncompressed picture.
11:39
norbi905: to see the quality, do this:
11:39
ssh -Y a_remote_linux_machine
11:39
totem some_video
11:40
<norbi905>
AHH that makes sense. But why would the LTSP server not decode the video and send it then?
11:40
<alkisg>
The quality you'll see it pretty much the same as the LTSP will offer you.
11:40
<norbi905>
unfortunatelly i'm at work right now :) sorry
11:41
<alkisg>
The LTSP server doesn't know or care about what you do with X windows. Anything you see on your screen is "transferred" by X windows. So video is just screens that are being sent over the network. LTSP doesn't know or care about encoding/decoding.
11:42
So when you play a DVD, it's decoded on the server, and the uncompressed frames are sent over the network => much network traffic

11:43bedroomblue is now known as mushroomblue
11:44
<norbi905>
AHH ok, thank you. I was under the impression that the client would have to do the decoding which did not make sense. So all is good provided your network connection between client/server is greater than the required bandwidth of the DVD file?
11:44
<alkisg>
yes
11:45
I.e. 125 mbps for dvd playback
11:45
<norbi905>
I do have 4 individual GiG ports on the switch, I might just use one for the home theater aspect of it. Seems like it is a must.
11:46
<mushroomblue>
though mp4/mkv playback is much better on your bandwidth.
11:47
had 25 boxes running Harold & Kumar in XviD, and it didn't stutter at all.
11:48
<johnny>
norbi905, if your clients are powerful enough.. run the media locally
11:54
<norbi905>
mushroomblue: These DVD are ripped collection and encoded with xvid. Your are saying that these would work better on a 10/100 connection? I will have to do some bandwith tests for sure. Thanks.
11:55
johnny: I do not have the clients just yet. In the planing stages currently, want to make sure I get the right things before I dive into it.
11:55
<mushroomblue>
norbi905: they'll definitely work better, but my LTSP server had GigE. :)
11:55
<norbi905>
mushroomblue: GigE to clients?
11:55
<mushroomblue>
indeed. I don't think we had more than 2 10/100 ports on the entire network.
11:56otavio has joined #ltsp
11:56
<norbi905>
mushroomblue: Unfortunatelly a fully populated 24 port GigE switch is out of bounds for me. Did manage to convince wife about a 24 port 10/100 including 4 GigE ports. I'm working on a tight budget here :)
11:57
<mushroomblue>
hah. LTSP will probably work fine for a home network, unless you have 9 or 10 boxes that do nothing but stream media 24/7
11:58Lns has joined #ltsp
12:01
<norbi905>
mushroomblue: At most I'd have 2 connecting to the LTSP server hitting it with media requests. I am a bit worried about the connection speed at which movies would play though. Have to look into compression though and try to see if I can do it through a 10/100 and which works the best
12:01shawnp0wers has quit IRC
12:01mikkel_ has joined #ltsp
12:02
<mushroomblue>
oh dude.
12:02
2 clients? that's fine.
12:04
<norbi905>
mushroomblue: So lets say 2 clients are connected to the LTSP server. One playing music audio, the other playing an Xvid coded movie. Will a 10/100 connection from each client be sufficient?
12:05
<alkisg>
norbi905: one client on a 100 mbps can't play a dvd properly. And forget all about HD :) xdiv / divx is usually fine, though...
12:05
<norbi905>
mushroomblue: Question, does the encoding of the movie make a difference? I am assuming not, since the decoded file being sent over the network would be just as huge as a movie endoded with a different codec. Am I right?
12:05
<mushroomblue>
yeah. mp3 is 320kbps tops
12:05
norbi905: yes. it does make a difference.
12:05
<alkisg>
The codec doesn't matter. Only the frame resolution and fps matter
12:06
<mushroomblue>
if you encode at 1080p, it'll be a much larger stream
12:06
but I've been able to stream 1080p mkv files to a ps3 over wifi
12:07
<alkisg>
The formula is: width x height x frames-per-sec x 12 if you use xv (YV12)
12:07
mushroomblue: the screens, or the file?
12:07
<norbi905>
I have a 16 drive RAID0 stripe set-up currently. My DVD's will be ripped to this RAID unit. I will encode them with one of most recommended free encoders, so it wont be pure DVD quality.
12:07
<Brian_H>
question: I have a quad core xeon for my ltsp server, linux sees 8 threads, should I tell ltsp to use 4 since there are only 4 cores, or 8 since linux sees "8 cpus"
12:08
<mushroomblue>
alkisg: ?
12:08
<alkisg>
mushroomblue: I mean, did you stream the uncompressed video, or did you just connect the file system e.g. with ssh and stream that?
12:08
<norbi905>
Brian_H: Your Xeon CPU has 4 physical cores, and 4 virtual cores.
12:08
<alkisg>
There's a huge difference between those 2 methods
12:09
<Brian_H>
norbi905: ok, so what should I tell my ltsp kvm image to use 4 or 8 :) ?
12:09
<alkisg>
One needs 480 Mbps, the other one < 10 Mbps.
12:09
<chrisinajar>
norbi905: 16 disks in a raid0? that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen...
12:09
<Brian_H>
(I should of specified that early my apologies :p that would of helped frame the question a little better)
12:10
<norbi905>
chrisinajar: Backed-up regularly to tape :)
12:10
<Brian_H>
you could use drbd for realtime replication if you want HA :)
12:12
<norbi905>
Brian_H: I am not sure about your question. The Xeon CPU 5500 series that we use here are extremelly well capable of using all 4 "virtual" cores. Not sure why you would want it to be used.
12:13
<Brian_H>
norbi905: thats the same series I have, I was just questioning whether I should tell kvm to use all 8 for my ltps image or not
12:13
<mushroomblue>
alkisg: streamed uncopmpressed video.
12:13
<Brian_H>
the reason I ask is sometimes ltsp seems slugish on a client here and there
12:13
<alkisg>
mushroomblue: with 1080p? and how much fps?
12:13
<norbi905>
Brian_H: Maybe someone with more experience can help you with that question :) Sorry
12:13
<mushroomblue>
transcoded from .mkv to x264
12:13
alkisg: from what I could tell, it was 60fps
12:14
<alkisg>
mushroomblue: "uncompressed" => the format doesn't matter
12:14
Why do you keep mentioning the format? uncompressed == raw... no mkv, no x264, no xdiv, no divx... nothing, plain raw screens like LTSP does :)
12:14
At 60 fps, that would need more than 600 mbps
12:15* alkisg does the exact math...
12:15
<alkisg>
1492992000 bits per second
12:15
So unless your wireless is at 1.5 Gbps, there's no way to stream that uncompressed...
12:16* alkisg guesses that you stream the file through a network file system, not the video screens...
12:17
<alkisg>

I have a question about this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/463369
12:38
over the weekend and the last couple days there was a good amount of updates
12:39Peste_Bubonica has quit IRC
12:40
<sbalneav_ep>
So what's the question?
12:40
<kdegel>
which fixed the server gui from being all flaky, but the thin clients still are unable to log in, do you think this is still an issue with the radeon driver? the #compiz team figured out that it is actually a graphics driver issue, I was working with the #radeon team on Friday but I had to leave and then the last couple of days I had meetings
12:41
I just want to make sure that I'm working/talking with the correct team, and the #ltsp channel seems to be the best at replying with information :)
12:42bieb has joined #ltsp
12:42
<sbalneav_ep>
Sounds to me like you're talking to all the right people.
12:42
Doesn't mean the bug will get fixed, though :)
12:43
<kdegel>
ok, just seems weird that the graphics driver on the server would keep the thin clients from logging in
12:43
<sbalneav_ep>
It's because of the compiz check.
12:43
<Gadi>
kdegel: is that even with the modified /usr/bin/compiz?
12:43
<sbalneav_ep>
compiz should disable the check.
12:44
<kdegel>
Gadi: yeah, I uninstalled compiz and it didn't do a thing, the compiz people said that it wasn't even triggering compiz because the grphics chip wasn't calling for it
12:44
<Gadi>
well, either compiz disables the check or radeon fixes the problem with the check
12:44
<kdegel>
the graphics chip is a server grade chip, so...
12:45
<johnny>
oh how i hate thee nvidia :(
12:45
<kdegel>
its ati
12:45
<johnny>
still no drivers for my 173xx for xorg 1.7
12:45
<kdegel>
I like nvidia
12:45
<johnny>
nvidia is terrible with drivers..
12:45
<kdegel>
oh sorry, nevermind what I just said
12:45
<Gadi>
kdegel: I thought last we left our hero, when you replaced /usr/bin/compiz, everything was cool on the client
12:45
and only the server was wigging out
12:45
<woodthechuck>
does LTSP 5 have drivers for the Realtek NIC r6040?
12:46
<johnny>
woodthechuck, ltsp has drivers for nothin
12:46
zero
12:46
<kdegel>
Gadi: yes
12:46
<johnny>
nada
12:46
<kdegel>
I think that is correct, have to look at the bug report again
12:46
<johnny>
woodthechuck, it matters whether your host distro has them and/or includes them in the initramfs
12:46
<Gadi>
woodthechuck: the question is does the distro you are using have them
12:46
<johnny>
Gadi, i was sayin it. .:)
12:46
<Gadi>
sorry - I have a bit of caffeine in me

12:47

12:47
<johnny>
woodthechuck, ltsp uses the host distro for all such things now.. not like ltsp
12:47
ltsp4*
12:47
woodthechuck, so if it works by default in your distro .. like on a livecd.. you're good to go
12:47
likely anyways..
12:48
<woodthechuck>
Thanks Johnny
12:48
<Gadi>
kdegel: anyways, the compiz guys consider it an ati bug, and would rather see the bug fixed in their driver rather than turn off remote compiz completely
12:48woodthechuck has left #ltsp

<sbalneav_ep>
kdegel: Do you NEED to run X on the server?
12:49
<kdegel>
Gadi: I'm looking over the logs from last Friday when we worked on this ,and yes, you gave me a different compiz config, the compiz people had me create a xorg.conf file and add an option
12:49
<sbalneav_ep>
Why not just disable gdm altogether on the server? Run it as a text console.
12:49
<Gadi>
kdegel: and they are prolly right, seeing as the local X on the server cant swallow compiz either
12:50
<kdegel>
sbalneav_ep: actually the issue now is that the thin clients won't log in :(
12:50Brian_H has quit IRC
12:50
<sbalneav_ep>
But, they're not logging in BECAUSE of the X on the server, right?
12:50
<kdegel>
the server doesn't mess up like it used to, but the thin clients still can't log in :
12:50
<Gadi>
kdegel: that you can fix with the modified /usr/bin/compiz
12:50
like last time
12:51
see, there are two issues here
12:51
one is that the ati driver has a bug
12:51
<kdegel>
sbalneav_ep: I'm not sure, I didn't think that was the reason...but maybe it is?
12:51
<Gadi>
and it cannot handle indirect glx stuff
12:51
<kdegel>
Gadi: yeah I will try that agian, didn't think of it
12:51
<Gadi>
to the point where it explodds
12:51
*explodes
12:51
thats problem #1
12:52
and should be fixed by the ati driver people
12:52alkisg has joined #ltsp
12:53
<Gadi>
problem #2 is that it would be nice for there to be an inverse to SKIP_CHECKS=yes - like a "COMPIZ=No" env variable to force the compiz script to fall back on metacity
12:53
then, we could pass that env variable thru lts.conf to solve problems like yours
12:53
and they wouldnt have to turn compiz off for all remote connections
12:53
but, you would have a solution until ati fixes their driver
12:53
:)
12:55
they are relying on the checks that they do to fail to fallback on metacity, not realizing that with a buggy driver, their checks might cause X to die completely
12:55
their response, its a buggy driver problem
12:55
true enough, and it should be fixed
12:55
but in the real world, people need workarounds while they're waiting
12:55
:)

13:01
we produce letters

define LOTS?
13:01

13:01
5?
13:02
<sbalneav_ep>
thousands
13:02
per day
13:02

i don't like using ubuntu.. it feels like they break something major in every release, and it never gets fixed during the cycle..
13:02
<Gadi>
sbalneav_ep: ok
13:02
<sbalneav_ep>
So, we have HP multi-bin printers. One bin letterhead, one plain, and an envelope feeder.
13:03
<Gadi>
right
13:03
<johnny>
and supposed stability takes precendence over getting fixes in
13:03
<sbalneav_ep>
Fire up openoffice, go to the "firstpage" style, and tell it it prints on Tray 2
13:03
default style prints on Tray 3
13:04
Envelope is a com10 style, on the "Envelope feeder" tray
13:04
so, create a letter. First page, apply "Firstpage" style
13:04
Do a manual pagebeak to the "Default" style for next page.
13:05
Do a mpb for an "envelope" page.
13:05
So, when we print, we should get 3 sheets.
13:05
1 letterhead, one plain, and an envelope.
13:05
<Gadi>
right
13:06
<sbalneav_ep>
With my patches in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/307471/
13:06
<Gadi>
so, instead, they all are coming out from the same tray?
13:06
<sbalneav_ep>
applied to cups in Hardy, this works as expected.
13:06
yup
13:06
all 3 on letterhead
13:06
first tray you change for the document, is what everything else comes out on.
13:07
Now, I submitted that bug upstream
13:07
so, either one of two things has happened.
13:07
<Gadi>
you might want to actually attach that description to the bug
13:07
ie the use case
13:07
steps to reproduce
13:08
<sbalneav_ep>
I'm working on the most bog-simple postscript test file that will trigger the bug
13:08
<Gadi>
does Tools->Options Print give any options?
13:08
<sbalneav_ep>
Yup
13:09
<Gadi>
anything useful?
13:09
<sbalneav_ep>
The issue's not with OpenOffice.
13:09
<Gadi>
ah
13:09
<sbalneav_ep>
OpenOffice, if you print to a PDF is inserting the correct %%IncludeFeature *InputSlot Tray2
13:09
directives.
13:09
<Gadi>
so, ur saying now cups does its postprocessing thru pdf
13:09
<sbalneav_ep>
The problem is, cups just ignore's em.
13:10
right.
13:10
<Gadi>
if you take that pdf and do a pdf2ps, same thing?
13:10
<sbalneav_ep>
so I don't even know if the PDF postprocessing HAS bin handling in it.
13:10
ok, I can try that...
13:14
yeah, if I export the oodoc to pdf, and try printing that through evince, that's a complete no-go
13:14
everything on plain
13:14
<Gadi>
then, ur theory stands
13:14
thats good
13:14
in a way

<sbalneav_ep>
Printing worked FLAWLESSLY on WordPerfect 2.0 for DOS fer crying out loud.
13:19
<johnny>
perhaps just not enough guinea bugs too early in the game..
13:19
because not enough enterprise users want to be that guinea pig
13:19

kdegel: scroll back, I just posted it 10 minutes ago
13:20
Well, I'm starting my guinea pig process for Lucid, since we track LTS.

13:21
<rjune>
sbalneav_ep, are you feeling unappreciated?

I'm feeling I have 13 years, 11 months and a bit until I retire to my cottage, where I pray to God, Vishnu, Buddha, Xenu, and Zoroaster that I will never ever have to touch a computer again until they plant me.
13:23
Which, at the rate I'm going will be in 14years, 11 months and a bit.

How do you apply the patch that is mentioned in this bug? : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldm/+bug/457702
13:29
<sbalneav_ep>
arx: well, you'd need to do an apt-get source ldm
13:29
apply the patch
13:30
make sure you have the dev tools installed
13:30
build a pbuilder
13:30
and rebuild the package.

ok, so another question... why is it when I do an "echo $DISPLAY" on the client (in X) it shows localhost:11.0?
13:31
<johnny>
is that a problem?
13:32
<sbalneav_ep>
because X is tunneling through ssh.
13:32
<arx>
ya, because I have scripts setup that use rsh.
13:32
<johnny>
rsh.. that's deprecated..
13:32
<Gadi>
people still use rsh?
13:32
<arx>
I put DIRECTX = True in lts.conf...
13:32
<johnny>
switch to ssh..
13:33
<arx>
I tried it a long time ago... it has way too much overhead and ran into tons of little problems.
13:33
<Gadi>
arx: yeah, LDM_DIRECTX=True will make DISPLAY be the thin client IP
13:33
and since you aren't worried about security...
13:33
:)
13:34
<arx>
no, not worried ;)

Hi all... im trying to setup a gentoo box as ltsp server, but when I try to boot a client, ive got this error afeter all modules loads: attempt to mount NFS root: mount: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Network is unreachable
14:03
<johnny>
fun..
14:03
<Peste_Bubonica>
seems that the network card is not up
14:03
:(
14:03
<johnny>
you have to manually fix that yourself sadly
14:03
until gentoo either fixes genkernel
14:04
or we use dracut
14:04
Peste_Bubonica, go into your chroot and edit /usr/share/genkernel/x86/modules_load
14:04
and put your network drives in there
14:04
<Peste_Bubonica>
ok... have many modules info there
14:04
<johnny>
and then genkernel initrd
14:04
but not your network card i bet :)
14:04
the network card part is the weakest link in the whole thing
14:05
they want me to give me a list of cards manually.. and that is dumb..
14:05
<Peste_Bubonica>
let me see... have a intel here... but not the mine...
14:05
e1000
14:05
<johnny>
yep.. thus the problem
14:06
i had a helper supposably.. but he disappeared..
14:06
<Peste_Bubonica>
I will need to recompile the kernel?
14:06
<johnny>
Peste_Bubonica, i developed the gentoo support, but i currently lack any real hardware
14:06
you don't need to
14:06
<Peste_Bubonica>
chrooting the enviroment?
14:06
<johnny>
just chroot in there
14:06
and genkernel initrd
14:06
or maybe genkernel ramdisk.. depending on your genkernel version
14:06
and then copy it over to your tftproot
14:06
<Peste_Bubonica>
understood... let me try!!! many many thanks johnny
14:07
<johnny>
ltsp folks.. did we ever get any farther with symlinking /boot in the chroot for the tftpboot directory? :)

14:15
<alkisg>
man tftpd => "=-s ...The use of this option is recommended for security..." Somehow I don't see this happening :(
14:16
<johnny>
alkisg, or just pointing directly to the chroot /boot
14:16
<alkisg>
But if someone wants to serve 2 images? Or wants to put other things than ltsp in his tftp boot dir?
14:17
<johnny>
the 2nd is the real problem..
14:17
<alkisg>
dnsmasq *doesn't* chroot into the tftp dir by default, though... :)

johnny, ive remaded the initramfs, but they dont load the e100 driver
14:22
only e1000, and the e100 module exists
14:23
<johnny>
did you copy that to your tftp boot driver?
14:24
tftp boot directory*
14:24
<Peste_Bubonica>
yes... the initramfs? sure
14:24
and it loads normally
14:25
<johnny>
it didn't load it on boot tho.. so i don't think you have it right..

ive used this command to rebuild initramfs: genkernel initramfs
14:28
<johnny>
sure.. but just cuz the moduel is there, doesn't mean it will be loaded
14:28
there is no autoloading support at all..
14:28
one ofthe problems with genkernel
14:29
that's why you have to edit that file
14:29
and my guess.. is that the file you're loading isn't the one that was built
14:29
<Peste_Bubonica>
but ive edited the modules_load
14:30
<johnny>
look for it in the initramfs
14:30
i'm assume you've booted to a busybox shell
14:30
look in there for to make sure it actually has what you expect
14:31
i forget what the file name is in the generated intramfs tho

johnny, the file is /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/modules_load right? only to confirm
14:32Sireorion has quit IRC
14:33intervention_one is now known as CAN-o-SPAM
14:33

14:33intervention_two is now known as _UsUrPeR_
14:34
<johnny>
if your clients are x86 that is..
14:35
<Peste_Bubonica>
johnny, now... e100 has loaded
14:35
but... the problem persists :(
14:35
<johnny>
is your nfs server started?
14:36
and you mount it manually?
14:38
<Peste_Bubonica>
yes
14:38
perfect
14:39
<johnny>
that works? just not on boot?
14:39
<Peste_Bubonica>
johnny, they reports error on "booting initramfs" something about the /dev missing giles ( console and null )
14:39
all kernel loads sucefully
14:39
<johnny>
hmm... sounds like a problem in the initramfs..
14:39
<Peste_Bubonica>
many modules is checked and loaded, including e100
14:39
<johnny>
we need to switch to dracut asap..
14:40
the initramfs code should be creating /dev/console and /dev/null
14:40
you definitely need those
14:40
<Peste_Bubonica>
how can I check that?
14:40
im not an expert on initramfs :)
14:48
johnny, I need to use init=/linuxrc on the default pxelinux.cfg?
14:51
<johnny>
ah
14:51
no..
14:51
but you do need something like
14:52
nfs=ip:/path
14:52
and ip=dhcp
14:52
i forget the rest now..
14:52
uggh
14:52

I want to be able to provide a link to install Sun-Java (sun-java6-plugin and sun-java6-bin) in the Open1to1 netbook image. I can't preinstall it, but would like to make a link on admin's desktop that the user can click and have it kick off in apt-get. I'd like to keep it as "GUIfied" as possible. Any ideas?
17:52
sbalneav: sorry ;-)
17:54
It can run in terminal, but I'd like to make the link automatically spawn the terminal and run it. I've been trying a couple things, but I need to get past the whole "Run in Terminal, Display, Run" piece. I want it to go in terminal by default
