<cliebow>
anyone elaborate on cdrtools...xcdroast..in karmic?
12:17
<johnny>
?
12:17
what kinda question is that?
12:17
xcdroast should be dead by now right?
12:19
<cliebow>
it is surely dead here
12:21
i didnt get the newsflash
12:23
<johnny>
it's way outmoded
12:23
not sure what you mean about cdrtools?
12:23
cdrtools was replaced by cdrkit awhile ago as well
12:23
altho some distros might have gone back to cdrtools. hard to say
12:24
had to do with the original author being weird.. and the potential relicensing to CDDL
12:24
cliebow, this stuff happened in the last 3 years..
12:24
so. it's been awhile
12:24
<cliebow>
yeah i been reading abvout the forks and knives
12:25
<johnny>
cliebow, so yeah.. use brasero on gnome or k3b on kde..
12:25
pretend to forget you ever knew about xcdroast
12:25
<cliebow>
yep.. i just made a coaster..gonna try again..
12:26
it worked awesome for me.. i burned the cd for karmic on it..
12:26
so no wonder it is scrapped..
12:27
<johnny>
from what distro?
12:27
i'm suprised distros had it even as recently as hardy
12:27
<cliebow>
ohh this is karmic
12:27
easy enough to install
12:27
<johnny>
?
12:28
i thought xcdroast disappeard before hardy is what i mean..
12:28
brasero has been the default for a long time
12:28
<cliebow>
i just apt-get install xcdroast and there it was
12:28
<johnny>
i use it pretty often myself..
12:28
altho for burning isos.. i just right click em
12:28
and choose burn
12:37
<cliebow>
freaking thing locked up..

<vagrantc>
wahooo!
14:44
with qemu-user-static installed from debian/sid, and ltsp from debian/squeeze, you can install an armel LTSP chroot from other architectures out of the box.
14:44
<johnny>
and the same for ppc right?
14:44
<vagrantc>
well, almost out of the box. you still have to specify an appropriate kernel.
14:44
johnny: i haven't found any architectures that work other than armel, though the theory is the same.
14:45
johnny: it's a limitation in qemu... as soon as other architectures work with qemu, the same technique should work.
14:45
<johnny>
ah..
14:45
i thought ppc did work with qemu..
14:45
tha'ts sad
14:46
but i guess people care more about arm now
14:46shawnp0wers has quit IRC
14:46
<vagrantc>
i'd most like to see powerpc and mips* support working, but it's a bit over my head to figure out what's wrong.
14:47
i'd really like to get my hands on an armel thin client and/or netbook to test it for real.
14:47
<johnny>
what does armel mean to debian anyways?
14:47
<vagrantc>
the proof of concept for this i did with a sheevaplug
14:47
johnny: ?
14:47
<johnny>
does armel just mean arm?
14:47
or what?
14:47
don't they have different arm arches?
14:48
vagrantc, if it means any arm.. i'd recommend that you get yourself a beagleboard or the like
14:48
<vagrantc>
it's little-endian, which i guess all newer arm and most older arm hardware supports
14:48
<johnny>
or get ogra to swipe something from canonical :)
14:48
<vagrantc>
but i'd guess ogra_ would know better than i

<moldy>
hi
15:59
from the ltsp server, i want to run a program on the x display of a logged in user. is this possible?
16:01
when i try to run e.g. zenity with the --display option, i get a "cannot open display" error
16:01
<sbalneav>
Are you using LDM_DIRECTX?
16:02
<moldy>
sbalneav: no
16:02
is ssh standing in my way here?
16:02
<sbalneav>
Then no, I don't think you'll be able to.
16:02
<moldy>
but with ldm_directx, it will work?
16:02
<sbalneav>
You'll want to use the notification system.
16:03
moldy: Well, if you modify the terminal's access rights with xhost, it will
16:03
<moldy>
which one? how does the notification system do its job?
16:03
<sbalneav>
This has been answered several times on the ltsp-discussed lists.
16:03
have a look in the ltsp-discuss archives.
16:04
<moldy>
ok, i will, thank you. any hints on what terms i should search for?
16:04
<alkisg>
moldy: wouldn't localapps do the job here?
16:04
<moldy>
i need a "generic" solution
16:05
<alkisg>
Is that for tcm-ng?
16:05
<moldy>
yep
16:05
<alkisg>
Is that only for logged on users?
16:05
<moldy>
i am just beginning to look at this problem. yes, only for logged on users
16:05
i thought "zenity --display" would do the job
16:06
<alkisg>
Weren't we talking some months ago about the /proc/environ grepping for display etc?
16:06
<moldy>
yes, i think so
16:06
<alkisg>
Other than that (which works fine), a listener would probably be the best choice..
16:07
<moldy>
i havn't worked on tcm for a long time, until yesterday... now i did some major overhauling and am just looking at that stuff again
16:07
<alkisg>
I've changed that code to look for dbus, so that it supposedly works in other DEs as well
16:07
<sbalneav>
GOOGLE IS SO HARD!!!
16:07
http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg36833.html
16:07
bingo
16:07
<moldy>
sbalneav: i was fighting with the sourceforge list archives interface :)
16:08
<alkisg>
pid=$(pgrep -u $user dbus-daemon)
16:08
display=$(sudo cat /proc/$pid/environ | tr "\000" "\n" | sed -n 's/^DISPLAY=//p')
16:08
That works better for me...
16:08
dbus-daemon instead of metacity
16:08
And the user list: users=$(users | xargs -n 1 echo | uniq | grep -v $(whoami))
16:19
<moldy>
no success yet, i am still missing something it seems
16:20
<alkisg>
moldy: give the commands and their output one by one
16:20
Did you get $display correctly?
16:21
<moldy>
rebooting the client at the moment to double-check ldm_directx
16:22
ltsp-update-image inside virtualbox is kinda slow ;)
16:22
<alkisg>
Why do you need to run ltsp-update-image?
16:22
To change directx?!!!
16:23
<moldy>
i am running it to enable root login via ssh so i can verify that lts.conf is being picked up ;)
16:24
<alkisg>
You can run "ltsp-localapps xterm" for that
16:24
<vagrantc>
or SCREEN_07=shell
16:24
<alkisg>
Or even set SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm
16:24
<vagrantc>
if it pops up LDM, then it's definitely not reading lts.conf
16:24
<alkisg>
(agh vagrantc got me I typed more stuff :P)
16:25
<moldy>
alkisg: yeah, but i don't have localapps enabled yet, nor xterm installed i think :)
16:25
but it has lts.conf, just checked
16:25
<alkisg>
localapps are enabled by default
16:25
xterm is also installed by default
16:25
(you're on ubuntu, right?)
16:26
<moldy>
yep, 9.10
16:26
ah, didn't know that
16:27
i get 2 pids for metacity, maybe that is the problem
16:28
<alkisg>
Try dbus-daemon
16:28
It works better for me
16:30
<moldy>
gives 2 pids as well, but well, no problem :)
16:30
<alkisg>
You've logged on twice?
16:31
Ah, you rebooted the client and the processes weren't killed...
16:32
<moldy>
maybe, the utmp-related stuff only shows the user once though
16:35
alright, it seems to work now... thanks, that should get me going
