I'm only finding old stuff about playing audio CD's on ltsp... the newest is a bug that audio cd's do not play (bug 390865 on launchpad ltsp) have there been any developments that allow audio cd's inserted in the client to play on the client?
03:36
<alkisg_work>
That should be possible with some audio player installed as a localapp...

is good idea to updgrade to 9.10 ? any known bugs etc?
04:27
<Appiah>
alot of known bugs
04:28
like there are on jaunty
04:28
and the version before that
04:28
and before that...
04:28
my tip is to get a 9.10 live on a usb thumbdrive, try it and see if anything important such as networking does not work
04:29
oh wait this the LTSP channel :D

<ogra>
add your user to the cdrom group
06:00
<ftherese>
hmmm when I try to do this: sudo usermod -a cdrom infobureau
06:00
it tells me there has been no change
06:00
and if I look a groups infobureau
06:00
that user is only in the infobureau group

Hi everybody
07:48
Why sometimes the mouse pointer and all the graphic interface sticks like each 1 sec?
07:48shawnp0wers has joined #ltsp
07:50
<coordinador>
07:51
<Appiah>
hmm
07:52
Thats a problem you can experince without LTSP
07:52
Dunno what caused this
07:52mikkel has joined #ltsp
07:54
<Appiah>
see what mouse driver x uses coordinador
07:54
and force another one and see if it helps
07:55
<coordinador>
Appiah, all the graphics, not just the mouse pointer
07:55
the videos, the windows, etc..

why some of users have the 30% of cpu used with command mixer_applet2 ?
08:11
i was investigating and i found that is an old bug :"After a little more searching about, it appears that this is a known (Bug #150089 in Ubuntu)."
08:11
but this information is from 2007 :S
08:12
this information i found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=624939
08:15
<Appiah>
well you can try it
08:15
I had this problem "back in the days" on several x installs
08:16
<coordinador>
but, how did you fix it permanently?
08:21
<Appiah>
... by changing the mouse driver from auto
08:21
this was when xorg could not run without a xorg.conf...
08:25Gadi has joined #ltsp
08:25
<coordinador>
humm
08:26
<Appiah>
just try it on one client by adding its mac address to lts.conf
08:26
and forcing another input
08:26
<coordinador>
which kind of client do you have?
08:27
<Appiah>
Like I said
08:27
General Linux problem
08:27
<coordinador>
oh i see
08:27
<Appiah>
but have not seen it for a long time
08:28
<coordinador>
but it happened to you, the freezing, only happened to the mouse pointer, or to all windows?
08:30
<Appiah>
everything
08:30
<coordinador>
oh
08:42
Appiah, did you have experienced that some of users have the 30% of cpu used with command mixer_applet2 ?
08:44

nope

have you updated both your server and the chroot, by adding stgraber's ppa to the apt sources in both?
09:00
In case anyone's interested, I've updated my ppa with a new version of Sabayon for Karmic. This is for 2.29 sabayon, which supports apply-by-group
09:00
I'd be interested in any feedback, either here, or in #sabayon

hello friends. is there a way to setup the dhcp server so that only some known clients will boot from the server?
09:21
<Appiah>
reserv only DHCP server?
09:21
(dont know if thats the name)
09:21
but should be a way
09:21
<sbalneav>
fasthans: yes
09:21
<fasthans>
ok I will check if I find it.
09:22
<sbalneav>
just specify certain mac addresses in the setup
09:22
<fasthans>
so all other computers would ignore the dhcp server in this case?
09:22coordinador has quit IRC
09:22
<Appiah>
they wont get an IP from that DHCP server
09:22
it will deny them
09:24
<fasthans>
off of my head, in the dhcpd.conf file, at the top there is the definition which image to take and the dhcp range. do I have to specify this for each client then?
09:25
I mean, this is the default for every client right? and then I can specify the mac for certain clients.
09:26garymc has joined #ltsp
09:26
<garymc>
anyone know if i should upgrade to Karmic Koala?
09:26
<fasthans>
so the ones where I specify a mac have other settings, but what about those that are not listed specificly? will they not be handled as defaults?
09:27
<garymc>
its telling me in my gui to upgrade to 9.10 karmic koala...
09:29
<fasthans>
garymc: you can if you want to. it would upgrade your system to the newset version
09:29
garymc: are you running edubuntu
09:31
<garymc>
i think so. I downloaded Ubuntu for LTSP
09:31
Ubuntu Alternate 9.04 disk
09:31
<fasthans>
so you are running a 9.04 server and multiple clients?
09:32
<garymc>
yes
09:32
is it worth doing?
09:32
will it mess with my current config etc?
09:33
<fasthans>
I don't know. you should test it first.
09:33
<garymc>
wel the system is currnetly getting used, so dont wanna mess it up
09:33
<fasthans>
it is always difficult to say. depends on your system.
09:33
<garymc>
ok
09:33
what are the advantages?
09:33
of 9.10 over 9.04
09:33
<fasthans>
do you have a separate system?
09:34
advantages? go to edubuntu.org there is a list of new features.
09:37
here it is: http://www.edubuntu.org/9.10/releasenotes

garymc: As per ANY system upgrade of a production system, you should test on a different system first, and of course, when you have tested, and things are working to your satisfaction, a FULL, COMPLETE, AND TESTED backup of the production system is manditory, IMHO
09:41
<Gadi>
yeah, because maybe the new one won't print from different paper trays
09:41
for example

09:48
Any idears?
09:50
<stgraber>
looking
09:51
try with a ~ before edubuntu-dev
09:52
<sbalneav>
hmmm ok, I thought of that, but the edubuntu-dev ppa page doesn't list it. However, I'll give it the old college try. Uno momento

coordinador: Looks like X isn't autodetecting your resolution correctly
10:12
you may need to tweak your xorg.conf file to your monitor.
10:13
<coordinador>
humm
10:13
i added the display section with modes "1024x768" but i didnt worked for me
10:13
<sbalneav>
So, you didn't do it right then :)
10:13

Gadi: it's not the clients
10:14
it's his server's consle
10:14
<Gadi>
ah
10:14
<coordinador>
Gadi, how could it be in the server xorg.conf?
10:14
<Gadi>
try: sudo pkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
10:14
er
10:14
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
10:14
<sbalneav>
that's worth a try!
10:14
good one.
10:14
<coordinador>
i already tried
10:15shawnp0wers has joined #ltsp
10:15
<Gadi>
ah, then in the server's xorg.conf
10:15
in the Monitor section
10:15
add:
10:15
HorizSync 30-100
10:15
VertRefresh 55-75
10:16
<coordinador>
Modes "1024x768" HorizSync 30-100 VertRefresh 55-75 like this?
10:16
or after Modes line?
10:16
<Gadi>
well, Modes is in the device section
10:16
<johnny>
weird that you would have to specify resolution like that
10:17
<Gadi>
I mean Display subsection
10:17
of the Scren section
10:17
*Screen
10:17
the Sync info should go with the monitor, I believe
10:17
<coordinador>
yes, pretty weird
10:18
ok, ill check that
10:18
<Gadi>
you most likely do not need to specify the mode
10:18
only the sync frequencies
10:18
and make sure they match your monitor
10:18
<coordinador>
well, i have Section screen, inside there is subsection display and inside there is Depth and Modes
10:18
<Gadi>
right
10:19
<coordinador>
in Monitor section i only have "identifier"
10:19
<Gadi>
the problem is the mode it is choosing is out of sync range of yourmonitor
10:19
most likely your monitor lacks ddc support
10:19
<coordinador>
the only mode that i have is Modes "1024x768_60" "800x600"
10:19
<Gadi>
are you sure that is a valid Mode name?
10:20* Gadi doubts it is
10:20
<coordinador>
i found it in the internets :P
10:20
<Gadi>
look in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
10:20
<coordinador>
Modes "1024x768" is it ok?
10:20
ok
10:20
<Gadi>
it will give you all the details of the Modes for your driver that it accepts
10:21
yeah, 1024x768 is most likely a valid mode

<coordinador>
i am checking Xorg.0.log and there is a lot of things, the final line is: disable primary dac
10:23
oh god! it works!!
10:24
i will reboot server to check everything works fine from the beginning
10:24
thank you very much
10:24
good bye

On my Ubuntu LTSP network, I have one HP t5135 thin client that will boot up to the login screen but refuses to login with any user. Ideas?
11:18
<ogra>
check ~/.xsession-errors of that user
11:22
<ctkr>
Last line is: Unable to open X display localhost:17.0
11:23
<ogra>
thats a standard ubuntu installation ?
11:23
<ctkr>
yes
11:23
<ogra>
or did you tweak anything like ssh settings
11:23
<ctkr>
no
11:24
all the other clients have no problem logging in
11:24
<ogra>
installed from the alternate CD ?
11:24
<ctkr>
Desktop
11:24
<ogra>
with a manual ltsp-build-client run ?
11:24
<ctkr>
yes
11:25
<ogra>
well, "Unable to open X display localhost:17.0" indicates that the ssh X proxy doesnt work for whatever realson
11:25
<ctkr>
did ltsp-update-image and ltsp-update-sshkeys several times
11:25
<ogra>
can you pastebin your ~/.xsession-errors ?
11:25
!pastebot
11:25
<ctkr>
ok

sorry, some of it is in spanish

ctkr, that use can log in from other clients ?
11:29
*user
11:30
<ctkr>
yes
11:34
<ogra>
well, i guess thats another issue with compiz probing a graphics card that cant handle it
11:38
<ctkr>
would killing compiz help?
11:39
<ogra>
no, uninstalling would
11:40
i think Gadi worked out a way to make it not do the tests
11:41
that would prevent you from uninstalling ... but fro a quick confirmation uninstalling is the quickest way
11:41
*for
11:41
<ctkr>
ok
11:41
do I need ldm? because it wants to remove that with compiz
11:42
<ogra>
the ldm package ?
11:42
you have a package called "ldm" installed on your server ?

well, there should be no package "ldm" on the server ... only in the chroot
11:44

ok
11:44

adn you should uninstall compiz from the normal desktop install (i.e. the server)

Is DISABLE_ACCESS_CONTROL no longer a vaild lts.conf variable? I'm trying to run remote X apps from our main server and keep running into "Can't open display" errors.
11:49
<ctkr>
OK that did it
11:49
thanks ogra!
11:50
<Gadi>
arx: no - you should run "xhost +" yourself before launching the remote apps
11:50
<ogra>
wait for Gadi to show up, he can show you a way without removing the package
11:50
<Gadi>
tho, this is a huge security hole
11:51* Gadi waves
11:51
<ogra>
ah, speaking of the devil :)
11:51
there he waves already :)

ctkr: I have a modified compiz script that disables compiz on remote connections (unless you force it in lts.conf)
11:53
lemme know if you're interested
11:54
<arx>
Gadi: I have added xhost + to the bottom of /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/rc.d/S01-setup-xauth (I couldnt' run xhost + on the client, it would say something like it had to be run locally?!). So, on the client, when I run just xhost it says "access control disabled...", so that works. Now, however, when I type 'rsh appserver DISPLAY=$DISPLAY xterm' it pauses for like a minute, then returns the error it couldn't open up the display.
11:55
<Gadi>
arx: are you using LDM_DIRECTX?
11:55
<arx>
I have LDM_DIRECTX=True in /var/lib/tftp/ltsp/i386/lts.conf, yes.

oh, duh! is there routing between the remote appserver and the client?
11:56
log into appserver and from appserver, try to ping the client IP
11:56
my guess is you can't
11:57
in order for what you want to work, you need to set up routing through the LTSP box
11:57
<arx>
it pings... and I even put the ip in the host file
11:57
<Gadi>
it would be much easier for you to: ssh -X appserver program
11:57
ah
11:57
hmm...
11:58
and if you get a shell on appserver
11:58
and then, set: DISPLAY=<the_right_thing> xterm
11:58
what happens?
12:00
<arx>
same as above... but let me try it. (gimmie a sec) ;)
12:01
Gadi: ok, so I rsh appserver, then I typed DISPLAY=clientipaddress, then xterm... it's just sitting there looking at me :|
12:01
<Gadi>
you need the display number
12:02
echo $DISPLAY on the LTSP server side
12:02
<arx>
oh yeah... sorry... this is what I typed export DISPLAY=ipaddress:7
12:02
<ogra>
are you sure ssh behaves indentical if its called as rsh ?
12:02
<arx>
interestingly enough... I can't ping the client now... ??? wt???
12:03
<Gadi>
on the appserver shell, try: nc -v -z -w 1 -n ipaddress 6007
12:03
aha!
12:03* Gadi knew it!
12:03
<Gadi>
is appserver on the same subnet as the thin client?
12:03squarepeg has quit IRC
12:03
<arx>
no
12:03
<Gadi>
yeah, so you need to have:
12:03squarepeg has joined #ltsp
12:04
<Gadi>
1. the LTSP server set to route packets between interfaces
12:04
2. a static route in the appserver directing traffic to the thin client subnet through the LTSP server
12:04
then, the plumbing will be complete
12:05
your app cannot talk to an Xserver it cannot reach
12:05
which is, again, why ssh -X appserver program would work magically
12:06
<ogra>
minor detail :)
12:06
<arx>
how do I do #1?
12:06
<Gadi>
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
12:06
and edit /etc/sysctl.conf
12:06
to make it permanent
12:07
<arx>
ahh... had I set up local firefox, I would have already done that (at least I think that is one of the steps)...
12:07
<Gadi>
well, be careful
12:08
those howtos usually have you set up NAT, as well
12:08
NAT is a firewall that will block the static route from appserver
12:08
<arx>
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12:08
WOOOHOOOO!

What exactly is the error? could you paste it to the pastebot?

sbalneav: "pastebot" is The LTSP pastebot is at http://pastebot.ltsp.org. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebot, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. A link to the content will be pasted in the channel.

it's almost unreadable though, it spams soo fast across the screen, like it's counting

14:11
ok now just a waiting game, normally either happens right off the bat or after using it a few
14:17
<Ahmuck-Sr>
sbalneav: u motu now?
14:18

14:19

It'll be months before I can convice the powers that be that I'm good enough.

Ahmuck-Sr: that makes sense since they're using the rdesktop screen script, and they "disconnect" by powering off the unit
14:20
of course once they've logged off rdesktop/windows TS
14:20
<Ahmuck-Sr>
sbalneav: how are you creating ppa?
14:20
i build quite a few of my own packages, however i use checkinstall to get debs from them
14:24
<arx>
Hey again. This question is way off topic, so feel free to shun me, but I am going to ask anyway 'cause I can't seem to find an easy answer (and I know there is one). How do you remove the "minimize", "maximize" and "close" buttons from a terminal window in gnome (not a gnome terminal however... xterm started remotely.)
14:27
<mushroomblue>
tell metacity to ignore it?
14:27
<Gadi>
arx: *hust* for that window?
14:27
*just
14:27
I mean
14:28
yeah, it's a window manager hint
14:29
<Lns>
sbalneav: much applause for the going for MOTU!! You are an Edubuntu hero =)
14:30
<arx>
Gadi: ya, just for that window.... or windows running our remote app.
14:33
<squarepeg>
motu!! motu!!
14:34
<Gadi>
arx: see if a tool like devilspie will do that for you
14:34
arx: I dont think metacity itself would give you enough control on an individual window very easily
14:34
there's also gdevilspie
14:34
for a gui
14:34
<arx>
ya, I've installed it and was messin around with devilspie.... sparse documentation though.

doesn't appear to be a 64-bit version of gdevilspie, so when I tried to install it in ubuntu, it just said it was the wrong arch.

it's not a good idea Lns ..
15:47
if you don't already know --force-architecture, you shouldn't use it
15:48
<Lns>
johnny: well it would depend on what's contained in the .deb really... if it's all just shell scripts and/or images/non-binaries i wouldn't think it would much matter.

(if (is (application_name) "xterm") (begin (undecorate)))

any idea how to fix login problems of thin-clients in ltsp 5 + Ubuntu Karmic?
20:58gentgeen__ has joined #ltsp
20:58
<EDAN>
logging in locally has no problems, but thin-client logins causes "No response from server, restarting"....
21:01artista-frustrad has joined #ltsp

<vagrantc>
EDAN: probably a changed ip address. sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys ; sudo ltsp-update-image
21:05
EDAN: and restart your thin clients
21:06
<EDAN>
i did that already, but it fixes it temporarily then for some time, the problem occurs again...
21:06
<vagrantc>
unless your DHCP server is separate from your Ubuntu server ... then you might have other issues
21:06
EDAN: sounds like your ip address keeps changing, then.
21:06
set up a static ip address.
21:06
<EDAN>
the dhcp is on the ltsp server itself...
21:07
setting it up for 100 clients is not so ideal in my case... any hint?
21:07Ahmuck has quit IRC
21:07
<vagrantc>
it seems odd that your server would be changing it's ip address if you're running dhcp on the server.
21:08
does your LTSP server have two network cards?
21:08
one for the thin client network, one for internet access?
21:08
that's generally the easiest way to configure it
21:08
<EDAN>
yes... I only use one network card for ltsp server and dhcp clients
