hey anyone know how to use ftp. I set it up so i could access my ftp web server from the internet. Now I had 5 static ip address's assigned and i assigned one to my LTSP server now i cant ftp to it remotley. Do i have to change anything in ftp and how? what files do i alter and where are they?
05:34
<rhodan_>
If I want to PXE boot machines besides an existing, untouchable DHCP, I need Proxy-DHCP, right?
05:34
And for that, I need dnsmasq because dhcpd can't do that.
05:38
Is this correct?
05:47
<alkisg>
rhodan_: yes
05:47
But if you have a windows dhcp server, there's a wiki page on how to modify it
05:47
(although the proxydhcp method seems easier to me :D)
05:48
<rhodan_>
*untouchable*
05:48
<alkisg>
OK, proxydhcp it is, then
05:48
<rhodan_>
kthx
05:48* alkisg used the word "unmodifiable" in the wiki page :P
05:49* alkisg reboots to try to install edubuntu lucid...

sbalneav: I spent some time toying around with ideas for localapp-nss and for testing made simple ltsp ldap server using nss as backend: https://code.launchpad.net/~vmlintu/+junk/devel - no ldap knowledge required - no schemas, no difficult ldap tools, just modify /etc/passwd + /etc/group and it picks them up. Client libraries are already existing and nss-ldapd has quite nice caching to boost things..

Hi there. Trying to get x11vnc working to connect to ltsp clients. Used the following guide and have disabled ufw/firehol but get connection refused. https://wiki.edubuntu.org/InstallX11VncOnLtspClients I can confirm that x11vnc process is running once client has booted up. Thoughts?

afternoon

<sbalneav>
vmlintu: Looked at the code, it's interesting, but I'm not sure if it's the right approach.
09:15
With your mini-ldap server, how are you going to handle password shadow operations?
09:17
<vmlintu>
It'd be only taking care of the passwd and group, no authentication
09:18
<sbalneav>
so, we'd still need the libpam-sshauth then?
09:20
<vmlintu>
Ldap authentication still couldn't authenticate the user to the server, so libpam-sshauth would still be needed.
09:20vlt has quit IRC
09:20vlt has joined #ltsp
09:21
<sbalneav>
ok
09:21
<vmlintu>
While doing it, I noticed one definite plus for the approach - the nss_ldapd library has really nice caching system, so it'd be quite a bit faster than doing "getent passwd" requests through the ssh tunnel
09:22
<sbalneav>
No reason why we can't cache results with a libnss-sshauth.
09:24
<vmlintu>
I could also see negative things in this approach while doing it as the different ldap libraries quite differently
09:25
The test code works now with nss_ldap and nss_ldapd
09:28
<sbalneav>
Can you toss a link to your branch and some of your thoughts on the wiki page there? I don't want to loose track of what yo've done.
09:29
<vmlintu>
Caching the results would probably be needed, based on previous experiences.. We've been running some fatclients using ltsp as base and at first ldap servers have been dying routinely..
09:29
were dying
09:30
I'll add it to the wiki page
09:33
<sbalneav>
Super! Thanks for poking about with this!
09:33
Keep this up, we'll make you a dev :)
09:33
Just ask alkisg how easy a process that is :)

I just started thinking that if the mini-server supported also authentication, it could also act as a backend for moodle and other webapps used in schools..
09:38
well, I've got piles of tools and scripts for everything possible related to ltsp/desktop management laying around and waiting for clean-up..

nope - vagrantc moved it to udev a while ago
10:21alkisg has quit IRC
10:22
<sbalneav>
That's what I thought.... but when I look in ltspfs source, I'm not seeing where it's started in udev.
10:23
<johnny>
shouldn't it just be a file you drop in the udev conf dir?
10:23
<Gadi>
grep cdpinger ltspfs_entry
10:23
I think
10:23
ltspfs-trunk/scripts/ltspfs_entry
10:23
it's in there
10:24
thats the one that gets executed by udev
10:24
<johnny>
ah.. dear Gadi is with us again
10:24
<sbalneav>
Ahhhhhh
10:24
ok, I was looking for an actual udev rule.
10:25
so in udev/88-ltsp.rules, that's not being used anymore, looks like?
10:26
<Gadi>
sbalneav: I need to find some time to clean up ltsp_config and ltspfs_entry. Seems we have gotten too liberal in our coding
10:26
its used
10:26
the rules tell udev when to call ltspfs_entry
10:26
ie if you smell like a removable device
10:26
:)
10:27
<sbalneav>
Weird, how come it's so outdated on mine...
10:28
<Gadi>
outdated?
10:28
well, some distros do not use upstream rules file
10:28
not sure what ubuntu or debian does
10:28
but, for a while, their rules files differed
10:29
but ltspfs_entry should be the same
10:29
<sbalneav>
I'm gonna re-sync my code.
10:29
I've gotten out of step here somehow
10:30
<Gadi>
btw, do any distros use nbd and not use the ltsp_nbd initramfs code?
10:30
<johnny>
any distro that isn't debian based that uses nbd :)
10:30
whichever those are
10:31* Gadi plans to fix the awk/grep issue that stgraber found by preseeding SERVER from the initramfs
10:31
<johnny>
for example..
10:31
fedora
10:31
fedora uses the dracut nbd code (or will soon)
10:31
<Gadi>
does fedora use nbd?
10:31
ah ok
10:31
<johnny>
must be.. as warrent was behind adding nbd to dracut iirc
10:31
warren*
10:31
<sbalneav>
dracut?
10:31
<Gadi>
ok - well then, I will leave the grep/awk stuff as a safety
10:31* ogra doubts fedora will ever use nbd
10:31
<johnny>
the distro agnostic initramfs system fedora pioneered
10:32
<ogra>
they dont have any kind of union filesystem
10:32
<johnny>
ogra, then why did he go through the hassle of adding nbd support?
10:32
<ogra>
he added that ages ago
10:32
<johnny>
so?
10:32
must be possible to install soem extra module to use nbd
10:32alkisg has joined #ltsp
10:32
<johnny>
err
10:32
some union fs thatis
10:32
<ogra>
you need aufs/unionfs
10:32
<_UsUrPeR_>
Ok, so I have created a local mirror of archive.ubuntu.com for the karmic release, and I'm trying to build a ltsp client image off of it, but I keep getting gpg errors, which causes the build to fail. I have, of course, added --copy-sourceslist to the ltsp-build-client command, and I have added both of the keys, but I am still getting this error. Can anybody explain why it would still give me the GPG errors, even though I have correctly added they keys?
10:32
<johnny>
aufs is still installable externally right?
10:32
<ogra>
right, you need to compile a module
10:33
<johnny>
or install the kernel module..
10:33
<ogra>
and patch your kernel source
10:33
<johnny>
it's a kmod package iirc
10:33
<ogra>
it needs inline patches in the kernel
10:33
<_UsUrPeR_>
also, why is it trying to use outside servers if I am using --copy-sourceslist?
10:33
<johnny>
ah.. suck
10:33
<sbalneav>
ok, I'm confused. In ltspfs-trunk, 88-ltsp.rules is very very simple
10:33
<johnny>
that's so dumb..
10:33
when will the kernel people finish union mounts :(
10:33
<Gadi>
sbalneav: it should be simple
10:33
<ogra>
sbalneav, id that the alsa crap ?
10:33
<sbalneav>
but if I do an apt-get source ltspfsd, 88-ltsp.rules is much larger
10:33
<Gadi>
all the logic is in ltspfs_entry
10:34
<ogra>
*is
10:34
<Gadi>
ah, then ubuntu packages a different rules file
10:34
<ogra>
we use likely a newer udev
10:34
<johnny>
shouldn't ltsp trunk reflect the newer udev?
10:34
than not?
10:35
<sbalneav>
That was what I was thinking
10:35
<Gadi>
nothing to do with alsa
10:35
<ogra>
dont tell me :)
10:35
<Gadi>
its removable media
10:35
<johnny>
/me pokes ogra
10:35
<ogra>
Gadi, yeah, i mixed it up with 88_ltsp_sound
10:35
<Gadi>
not sure if debian uses upstream udev rules
10:35
<johnny>
can somebody remove 88_ltsp_sound from teh root? or did somebody else already do that?
10:35
<Gadi>
or who does
10:35
<ogra>
the same sequence number confused me
10:35
<Gadi>
we need stgraber and vagrantc
10:35
:)
10:35
<ogra>
debian doesnt
10:35
<johnny>
Gadi, uhmm.. we do?
10:35
are we suckers?
10:36
lol
10:36
<ogra>
debian says a linux system must work without udev
10:36
<Gadi>
we are suckers who were not involved in the decisions
10:36
:)
10:36
<ogra>
which is nonsense nowadays
10:36
<johnny>
i agree
10:36
gentoo doesn't even allow that..
10:36
udev is a core package to gentoo
10:37
except on super embedded stuff
10:37
<ogra>
they might have reverted that view
10:37
but up to lenny that was the attitude
10:37
<johnny>
and that is why i don't use debian
10:37
not enough integration
10:37
<ogra>
but most flexibility
10:37
<johnny>
of course.. i don't always need what ubuntu and fedora give me.. i'd like something in between
10:37
<ogra>
lenny can actually run with a static /dev
10:38
and a ton of initscripts that run MAKEDEV :)
10:38
<johnny>
lol
10:38staffencasa has quit IRC
10:38
<johnny>
that stuff needs to disappear
10:38
:(
10:38
<ogra>
it helps the embedded world
10:38
<sbalneav>
I'm cleaning up a lot of the dead specs.
10:38
<ogra>
if you only have five static devices, why use udev
10:39
<johnny>
ogra, sure... but aren't the specs of those embedded machines starting to get so high that it's going to stop mattering ?
10:39
<ogra>
sbalneav, yeah, my inbox notes that :)
10:39
<johnny>
eventually anyways.. :)
10:39
<ogra>
not really
10:39
they just get smaller
10:39
<sbalneav>
Gadi: We've got an edubuntu bug day on the twelth, I'm going to fix the ltspfs perms issue that day, I'll also look into the ltspfs_entry awk problem.
10:40
<Gadi>
sbalneav: well, it is solved
10:40
the awk problem that is
10:40
well, it will be once I code and push
10:40
the problem is in ltsp_config
10:40
as we call it from ltspfs_entry
10:41
so we can modify behavior based on lts params
10:41
but ltsp_config figures out SERVER on nbd systems with pgrep/awk
10:41
which is an expensive way to do it
10:42
so, I plan to add code to the nbd initramfs script to write SERVER to rootfs/var/run/ltsp_config or some such and then have ltsp_config source that up front
10:42
that way, SERVER will be defined
10:42
and no pgrep/awking
10:43
<sbalneav>
I'm really, REALLY confused.
10:43
<Gadi>
hehe
10:43
ok, so there's this script ltsp_config...
10:43
<sbalneav>
there seems to be completely different versions of ltspfs_entry between ltspfs-trunk and what's in ubuntu
10:44
<Gadi>
really?
10:44
<ogra>
intresting
10:44
since we sync that from debian iirc
10:44
<Gadi>
maybe there have been changes since the version that is in ubuntu
10:45
what version is in ubuntu and what is the latest tag in bzr?
10:45
<ogra>
the version in ubuntu is identical to the version that was in debian when we released
10:45
vagrant maintains all of the packaging
10:45
<Gadi>
right - but, we DO tend to do upstream work continuously
10:45
:)
10:45
<ogra>
we just pull his stuff and swithc the rules
10:46
stgraber and vagrant worked that out to happen automatically a while ago
10:46
(switching rules at build time based on the build system)
10:46
<Gadi>
seems there waas one commit since version 0.5.13
10:47
what version do you have in ubuntu, sbalneav?
10:47
<ogra>
0.5.13-1
10:48
karmic ^^^
10:48
<sbalneav>
oh crap
10:49
I'm branching from lp:~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltspfs-trunk
10:49
I SHOULD BE:
10:49
I'm branching from lp:~ltsp-upstream/ltsp*fs*/ltspfs-trunk
10:49
<ogra>
that exists ?
10:50
i didnt know we had different projects
10:51
<sbalneav>
status is "abandoned"
10:51
but it still allows you to pull from it.
10:51
We should just delete it.
10:51
<ogra>
yeah
10:51
<sbalneav>
to prevent morons like me from getting confused.
10:52
done.

<sbalneav>
Gadi: Another thing we could do to fix that, even IF server wasn't specified would be to remove the grep and awk like so, and just replace with shell primatives:
11:02
while read TYPE HOMEDIR FSTYPE REST; do
11:02
if [ ${FSTYPE} = "fuse.sshfs" ]; then break
11:02
fi
11:02
done < /proc/mounts
11:03
<Gadi>
well, you mean "nbd"
11:03
as fstype
11:03
but, true
11:03
<sbalneav>
There's only one awk in the ltspfs_entry
11:04
<Gadi>
right - thats not the bad one
11:04
it gets called infrequently
11:04* sbalneav slaps head
11:04
<sbalneav>
where's the one that's the problem? In the initramfs?
11:04
<Gadi>
no - in ltsp_config
11:05
<sbalneav>
ah, ok
11:05
<Gadi>
we call ltsp_config a lot
11:05
<sbalneav>
we could probably do the same there. I'll have a look
11:05
<Gadi>
it needs to be fast
11:05
pgrep is also expensive
11:06
I would like to try to avoid pgrep as much as possible
11:06
<sbalneav>
ok, I can look at optimizing those.
11:06
<Gadi>
cool
11:06
thx
11:10
<johnny>
perhaps you shouldn't call ltsp_config so much..
11:10
does it really need to be included more than once?
11:10
<alkisg>
It could just cache *all* of its output in a /var/run file, and use that on the later runs....
11:11
btw there's a typo in that file: # set compatbility for ltsp 4.x variables
11:13
<johnny>
well.. is there some official way of caching things in the shell that i don't know about? other than env vars?
11:13
altho it seems that things like LS_COLORS are even cached there.. which is kinda silly

sbalneav: nm, i've got it fixed. thx
11:57
alkisg: looking at the command line, i understand it completely. i don't know if i could write it myself, but understand what's going on. i could just drop the "echo" and run it from a command line it appears
11:57
<alkisg>
Ahmuck: so and so. E.g. chmod lost+found:lost+found doesn't make sense :)
11:58
It was written in 20 secs, I didn't mean it to be bulletproof...
11:58
That's why I put the "echo" in front of it.
12:03
<Ahmuck>
ya, i saw it complained about lost+found
12:03
anywho, thx, that fixed the problem. i'll comb through and look for the link for the other issue

still thinking about the whole "group" directory thing. considering putting another server with directories on it only for "group" directories/files
12:04
or /home/students, etc.

johnny: i have thought about whether or not to set the stage_uri in a plugin
12:53
and i still think it should be set in a plugin, and not in the quickstart script
12:53
<johnny>
why?
12:54
what's the benefit
12:54
knipwim, altho..
12:54
a compromise could be made
12:54
let the one in the plugin override the one
12:54
but wait.. don't i already do that?
12:55
ah.. just need it in the plugin code if it's not set on the cli
12:55
so.. go for that
12:57
<knipwim>
i think the plugin does that
12:57
if [ -z "${STAGE_URI}" ]; then ...
12:57
<johnny>
sure.. go ahead and set it there
12:58
<knipwim>
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wimmuskee/ltsp/ltsp-trunk-dev/revision/1371
12:58
<johnny>
no
12:58
remove the change to the quickstart file
12:58
and then it's probably fine
12:59
<knipwim>
so, getting the funtoo stage if all else fails?
12:59
<johnny>
it's not about all else fails.. it's about using the quickstart stage standalone
12:59
without the ltsp-build-client
12:59
s/using/being able to use/
13:00
<knipwim>
but this profile is an ltsp specific profile
13:00
if you wanted it standalone

<johnny>
knipwim, i'm saying you should already be able to do it
13:02
quickstart --foo --bar --etc already does the same thing
13:03
almost the same thing.. there's only a few things in the plugins that we actually use..
13:03Eghie has joined #ltsp
13:05
<johnny>
the things that prep the server environment is what should go in the plugins obviously
13:05
but imo.. some of that should actually be packaging..
13:05
so you can rerun emerge ltsp-server --config or whatever that flag is
13:06spectra has joined #ltsp
13:12
<knipwim>
i've never used the --config option on an emerge before
13:12
but i see your argument
13:12
i can leave the profile change alone

is sshfs-fuse 2.1 finally stable?
13:38
if so.. sure
13:38
look for other deps that are stable too
13:38
<knipwim>
sshfs-fuse-2.2 in fact
13:38
<johnny>
swell
13:38
<knipwim>
nope :(
13:38
<johnny>
took em only a year to get 2.1 stable..
13:39

13:40
<knipwim>
if it does, i'll let you know
13:43
<johnny>
yeah.. for real
13:43
might as well just switch to upstart
13:43
at least that's used to multiple distros
13:59
<vagrantc>
johnny: that's, uh, slower than debian stable.
14:00
<johnny>
vagrantc, debian replaced their init system?
14:00
lol :)
14:00
<vagrantc>
johnny: no, sshfs-fuse
14:00
<johnny>
oh you mean the sshfs-fuse
14:00
yeah.. the dev went away, and the package went unnoticed
14:00
<vagrantc>
happens to the best distros
14:04
<johnny>
happens to all distros :)
14:04
vagrantc, altho i'm more upset about the lack of the new init system
14:04
the system works unmodified on bsd and gentoo.. which is neat.. and it's also really fast.. faster than upstart
14:04
but.. he's kinda weird about it (last i checked)
14:04
<vagrantc>
he?
14:05
<johnny>
the dev of openrc
14:05
<vagrantc>
ah
14:05
<johnny>
he even switched back from git to subversion at one point

do you have configure_sound?
15:42
<Lns>
no
15:42
<Gadi>
maybe its in ltsp-client-core
15:42
<Lns>
yeah, i have start_sound
15:42
in ltsp-client-core
15:43

I dunno - one of the things we did recently was pull all the functions into ltsp-init-common

do you have anything after start_sound?
15:43

Gadi: after start_sound is configure_localdev
15:43
<Gadi>
if not, then you can add the function to ltsp-client-core, and then call it at the bottom
15:44
right after start_sound is called
15:44
man... what did we do in hardy?
15:44
:)
15:44
<Lns>
lol
15:44
<Gadi>
good ole 2008
15:44* Lns plans on backing up, then wiping/re-installing all of his servers w/lucid.1 64-bit =)
15:45
<Lns>
still riding on hardy 32-bit
15:45
<alkisg_>
How's flash support for 64bit nowadays?
15:45
<Lns>
alkisg_: heard it's fine now that there's a native 64-bit plugin
15:45
<Gadi>
sbalneav: which pgrep are you cleaning?
15:46
<Lns>
I think i'm gonna leave sound alone, or maybe just do an rc script to adjust volume manually instead of patching these files...
15:46
<alkisg_>
Lns: but does Ubuntu still use the wrapper plugin in ubuntu-restricted-extras?
15:46
<Gadi>
Lns: you can copy the function into an rc script
15:46
<Lns>
don't think so, not in karmic anyway..? haven't checked, my box at home works fine (well, not really actually...clicking on flash stuff doesn't always work :/ )
15:46
<Gadi>
and source ltsp_Config at the top
15:46
er, ltsp_config
15:47
and call it
15:47
alkisg_: I think the flshplayer-installer package in karmic still uses 32 bit libs
15:47
but you can just d/l the 64 bit player and install it instead
15:48
<alkisg_>
Gadi, do you know if that's also true for Lucid?
15:48
<Gadi>
no clue
15:51
<Lns>
Gadi: this PA channel name code in ltsp-init-common..is that gonna work for hardy? you said yesterday re: docs: "hmmm.. that section needs updating" "to reflect: <channel_name>_VOLUME"
15:54
holy crap there's some crazy sed work going on there =)
15:55
<sbalneav>
Gadi: the one in ltsp_config
15:55
<alkisg_>
Couldn't Lns use a Karmic chroot in his Hardy servers?
15:55
<sbalneav>
I do.
15:56* alkisg_ installed edubuntu Lucid and is going to try the fat client plugin tomorrow :)
15:56* Lns doesn't want to put his schools through what could possibly go wrong with that =)
15:58
<sbalneav>
It's too bad that nbd-client doesn't write a status file in /var/run/mumble

<Lns>
That's all I'll have to put in an rc script looks like, after parsing ltsp-init-common
16:05
(putting in a more sane volume of course)
16:06
<Gadi>
sorry -was afk
16:06
Lns: yesterday, I was talking about the docs
16:06
the code is fine
16:06
sbalneav: so, back to my pre-seeding
16:06
:)
16:06
<Lns>
right..ok
16:09
<Gadi>
Lns: don't forget to actually call the function
16:09
after you declare it
16:10
<sbalneav>
Gadi: but, we can eliminate the awks
16:10
<Gadi>
so: . /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp_config; configure_sound_volume() ... ; configure_sound_volume
16:10
pheh - awks
16:10
<Lns>
Gadi: i'm just gonna put an rcfile_nn in my lts.conf and call amixer directly :) unless you think that's horribly wrong to do for patchwork
16:10
<sbalneav>
more to the point, stgraber pointed out, first time that gets run, we should write a cache file somewhere with the results.
16:10
<Lns>
that way i can keep a handle on it for the 2 sites i need to do this for until the lucid upgrade
16:11
<Gadi>
sbalneav: there are pros and cons to the cache file idea
16:11
<sbalneav>
k, what are the cons?
16:12
<Gadi>
well, say you have a script (like ltsp-cluster has) that grabs a new lts.conf at different stages
16:12
you now need a way to say - dont use the cache
16:12
<sbalneav>
ah, ok
16:12
<Gadi>
which is not hard
16:13
only that you have to always think
16:13
should I use the cache
16:13
or should I not use the cache
16:13
<sbalneav>
well, as a general rule, I should probably go through all our scripts, and look to see where they can be optimized.
16:13
ldm's getting very very pokey post authentication.
16:14
<Gadi>
yeah - did we ever merge that patch that made logging in slow due to localapps when there is a large numbers of groups
16:14
?
16:14
er, that fixed that issue
16:14
:)
16:14
<sbalneav>
dunno
16:15
<Gadi>
someone submitted it to lp
16:15
but, I dont know if it ever made it in
16:15
<sbalneav>
I can look tonight.
16:15
mvo and I are locked in a life and death struggle over gksu
16:15
<Gadi>
lol
16:16
<sbalneav>
I spend 4 hours figuring out a path
16:16
he comes back with something completely different
16:16
so if his latest proposal works, then I can have a look at it tonight.
16:17
if not, I have to go through round 4 of gksu patchdance if I'm to get a working sabayon for alpha2
16:17
patchdance.
16:17
Kind of like flashdance, but instead of Jennifer Beals, you get me.
16:17
<Gadi>
yeah, I am going to need ur sabayon for a project real soon
16:17* Gadi cheers you on
16:18* Lns thinks sbalneav looks WAY hotter than Jennifer Beals anyway
16:18
<Gadi>

<alkisg_>
Ah, I first made a regular chroot, so now to make a second one, do I need to specify the base/nbd port etc?
16:21* alkisg_ points himself to the docs...
16:21

!docs
16:21
<ltspbot>
alkisg_: "docs" :: For the most current documentation, see https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ltsp/index.php?title=Ltsp_LtspDocumentationUpstream
16:22* Gadi thinks you just need to change dhcpd.conf
16:24
<alkisg_>
Won't it try to use the same directory, i.e. /opt/ltsp/i386, and the same nbdport, 2000? OK, trying...
16:24
<Gadi>
alkisg_: you change the filename to: /ltsp/fat-client/pxelinux.0
16:24
or some such
16:25
that pxelinux should do the right thing
16:25
<alkisg_>
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386 --fat-client
16:25
NOTE: Root directory /opt/ltsp/i386 already exists, this will lead to problems, please remove it before trying again. Exiting.
16:26
...trying to specify --chroot...
16:26
<sbalneav>
Gadi: Well if you're looking for the PRE EMINENT gnome desktop deployment tool being AVTIVELY maintained by a suave and debonaire developer
16:26
you won't do better than sabayon ;)
16:26
<Gadi>
thats what I read in the brochure
