| 01:58 | <vagrantc> ok... debian/changelog for ltsp 5.2 started in at around 200 lines ... now down to 84 ... nearly done.
| |
| 01:58 | * vagrantc sighs | |
| 01:58 | <alkisg> Ouch
| |
| 01:59 | <vagrantc> a bit more verbose than the ubuntu changelogs :)
| |
| 01:59 | <alkisg> "Major improvements. For details see `bzr log`." <== done in 1 line :P :D
| |
| 01:59 | <vagrantc> not sure if the verbosity is good or bad... sure it's a bit of both.
| |
| 01:59 | <alkisg> I like verbose changelogs, but in reasonable sizes
| |
| 01:59 | E.g. 20-40 lines..
| |
| 02:00 | <vagrantc> we should really generate the changelogs for ltsp-trunk and ldm-trunk like we do for ltspfs ...
| |
| 02:00 | though debian/changelog is still different than upstream's changelog ...
| |
| 02:00 | * panthera nods. | |
| 02:01 | * vagrantc waves to panthera | |
| 02:01 | <panthera> i cherrish short (but precise) debian/changelog entries.
| |
| 02:01 | * panthera re-waves :) | |
| 02:02 | <vagrantc> something worth learning from ubuntu: " * LOTS and LOTS of other fixes and optimizations
| |
| 02:02 | "
| |
| 02:04 | <alkisg> So squeeze will have LTSP 5.2? Is that "scheduled" for 2010?
| |
| 02:04 | <vagrantc> freeze was planned for march, though sounds likely will be ... later.
| |
| 02:05 | <alkisg> Nice :)
| |
| 02:05 | <vagrantc> while there's definitely a push to release more often, thankfully debian still sees bugs in the distribution as what should really determine release :)
| |
| 02:06 | (as if there's a unified "debian" view)
| |
| 02:06 | <alkisg> What I'd like is a timed schedule like Ubuntu's for freezes, followed by debian's "ok done importing, but now we'll release when we're ready" policy :)
| |
| 02:06 | <vagrantc> seems to be the general direction it's taking
| |
| 02:06 | <panthera> that would be nice, but it's not feasible these days.
| |
| 02:07 | Selveste1 has joined #ltsp | |
| 02:07 | <panthera> (too many rc bugs)
| |
| 02:07 | <vagrantc> yeah, taking a really broken point is perhaps not the best time to freeze.
| |
| 02:07 | it only stalls progress on resolving those issues
| |
| 02:08 | <alkisg> If many projects started following a 6 months release cycle, it would make freezes easier

| 03:03 | <dmarkey_> vagrantc: is fat client mode in that?
| |
| 03:10 | <vagrantc> dmarkey_: not such that it's just a build flag, but otherwise everything's there... you just have to choose what packages you want in the chroot and set LTSP_FATCLIENT=true.

| 03:14 | Selveste1_ has quit IRC | |
| 03:14 | <vagrantc> probably wouldn't be hard to adapt the ubuntu plugin or kiosk plugins
| |
| 03:20 | alkisg: looking at the 030-fat-client plugin, i noticed a comment that /etc/X11/default-display-managergets reset....
| |
| 03:20 | i'm guessing that's because you end up with gdm installed ...
| |
| 03:21 | any of the display managers that respect /etc/X11/default-display-manager will only support others that properly support default-display-manager ... and so always overwrite it if there is an invalid value.
| |
| 03:21 | i.e. a removed default-display-manager...
| |
| 03:22 | this has the undesireable affect that there's no way to properly disable that behavior.
| |
| 03:22 | Selveste1_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 03:22 | <vagrantc> i guess i should file wishlist bugs on all the display managers...
| |
| 03:22 | and with that, i sleep.
| |
| 03:24 | <alkisg> vagrantc: good night
| |
| 03:24 | (reading...)
| |
| 03:24 | vagrantc: I don't really understand why wouldn't gdm respect it
| |
| 03:25 | <vagrantc> alkisg: because you're not following Pax Displayicus Managerius protocols.
| |
| 03:25 | <alkisg> But I'm writing ldm in /etc/X11/default-display-manager, what more is needed?
| |
| 03:25 | Should I also export $HOCUS_POCUS?
| |
| 03:25 | <vagrantc> an absurd number of hoop-jumping steps.
| |
| 03:26 | as if it were that easy!
| |
| 03:26 | <alkisg> Grrr :)
| |
| 03:26 | At least the second time it works fine :D
| |
| 03:26 | <vagrantc> until you upgrade gdm or some other *dm in the chroot.
| |
| 03:26 | <alkisg> I *could* also make a cron job that overwrites that file every X minutes :D
| |
| 03:27 | From what I read in gdm.postinst, it respects an existing entry there
| |
| 03:27 | <vagrantc> i think getting the protocol to accept some "DON'T OVERWRITE ME" value would be a good idea.
| |
| 03:27 | <alkisg> Maybe something else, not gdm, is overwriting that file, but I don't know what it is
| |
| 03:28 | * alkisg tries apt-get install --reinstall gdm in a fat chroot... | |
| 03:28 | <vagrantc> maybe it's been made smarter ... but in the past it would only accept those DM's that followed lock-step in sync.
| |
| 03:29 | or maybe ubuntu handles it differently
| |
| 03:29 | <alkisg> `lock-step in sync`? I'm not sure I want to know what that is.. :D
| |
| 03:29 | <vagrantc> http://bugs.debian.org/267198
| |
| 03:30 | that was my first exposure to the issue.
| |
| 03:31 | <alkisg> apt-get install --reinstall gdm did keep the file intact...
| |
| 03:31 | ...reading the link...
| |
| 03:32 | <vagrantc> hmmm.
| |
| 03:32 | ah well..
| |
| 03:33 | maybe if there is no default-display-manager in debconf, gdm assumes that /etc/X11/default-display-manager isn't set?
| |
| 03:33 | Selveste1_ has quit IRC | |
| 03:34 | <alkisg> I think I saw a comment in gdm.postinst that says it wouldn't do that
| |
| 03:34 | # debconf is not a registry, so we only fiddle with the default file if it
| |
| 03:34 | # does not exist
| |
| 03:34 | <vagrantc> well, there's sometimes a difference between intention and implementation :)
| |
| 03:35 | at any rate... i'll let you ponder the idea without me :)
| |
| 03:35 | <alkisg> if [ ! -e $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE ]; then
| |
| 03:35 | Thanks though :)

| 09:36 | <alkisg> I'm declaring NBD_SWAP=True in lts.conf but my clients don't get an swap partition. If I run the nbd-client command manually, they do get a swap partition. Any hints?
| |
| 09:44 | <sbalneav> alkisg: Hmmm, something with inetd.conf?
| |
| 09:44 | <alkisg> sbalneav: if I run the command manually from the client, it works fine
| |
| 09:44 | So I guess the problem is either in the client, or I'm missing something in lts.conf...

| 09:49 | <alkisg> Sorry, my box decided to hang when I was trying `eval $(getltscfg -a)`
| |
| 09:49 | sbalneav: I lost everything except for your first reply...
| |
| 09:50 | Could you copy/paste whatever you said after that?
| |
| 09:54 | <sbalneav> Maybe we're not hitting that part of the initscripts anymore?
| |
| 09:54 | Didn't some work happen opposite "upstartifying" the initscripts?
| |
| 09:55 | <alkisg> That might be the problem... I tried to run ltsp-client-setup manually, and it worked fine
| |
| 09:55 | So either a race, or it doesn't run at all
| |
| 10:00 | <grantk> Im trying to work through local printing issues, I made it past finding a copy of jetpipe, getting it into my chroot environment with python-serial. I can now telnet to a client at port 9100 with the correct entries in lts.conf, but can not print. Last night I was able to see printed pages when i would do a 'cat /dev/lp0' but the pages would not print. Anyone have seen this before?

| |
| 10:10 | <alkisg> reynolds: did you change/install something?
| |
| 10:11 | <reynolds> i removed totem!
| |
| 10:11 | <alkisg> yeah, shouldn't matter... :D
| |
| 10:12 | I'm a little busy right now trying to debug something, if noone else helps you and you have time to wait, I'll be available later on...
| |
| 10:13 | <reynolds> ok thanks

| 10:29 | <mordocai> Hello, I have LTSP successfully set up in a test environment, but have run into a problem. I want the user to be able to log in with LDAP, and then have nothing availible to them but firefox web browser, not even a home directory. I have looked into GNOME and KDE but, playing with both, their lockdown tools appear to be outdated and broken, or otherwise unusable. Any suggestions?
| |
| 10:29 | Oh, forgot to mention. LDAP works perfectly
| |
| 10:32 | <alkisg> sbalneav: Hmmm it looks like it's using port NBD_PORT, which is 2000, which is the nbd image port, not the swap port. That's why it isn't working, and that's why I was seeing too many nbd-client instances...
| |
| 10:34 | That should read "NBD_SWAP_PORT". Testing...
| |
| 10:36 | <cliebow> mordocai, how about icewm?
| |
| 10:39 | <mordocai> cilebow: Well, I looked at it. It just seems so light... i'm afraid people who have never used linux before will get turned of from it, thinking linux is still in the windows 95 era. I like a light windows manager for my own use but,in my experience,the "normal user" likes pretty graphics.
| |
| 10:40 | s/of/off
| |
| 10:40 | <sbalneav> mordocai: The Gnome lockdown editor, sabayon, is maintained by myself.
| |
| 10:40 | Faithful has quit IRC | |
| 10:42 | <mordocai> sbalnaev: yes, i believe i had a conversation on the sabayon mailing list with you. Various issues, then my work ordered me to try KDE. Now that kde isn't working... i get to try whatever i want again. My e-mail is mordocai@gmail.com, if you want to look it up.
| |
| 10:42 | <sbalneav> mordocai: you should be able to set up a panel with just a firefox icon on it, and disable the alt-f2 "run" dialogue box.
| |
| 10:43 | mordocai: yes, and I beleive I was helping you with your issue when you bailed.
| |
| 10:43 | <mordocai> sbalnaev: Well, not my choice... but yes.
| |
| 10:43 | <sbalneav> If you'd like to pick it up again, I'd be happy to help.
| |
| 10:45 | Faithful has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:45 | <mordocai> Yeah, I'd like to. I always liked gnome better anyway.
| |
| 10:46 | Faithful has quit IRC | |
| 10:47 | <alkisg> sbalneav: some help, please? There's a mixup in the variable names (SWAP_SERVER vs NBD_SWAP_SERVER, NBD_PORT vs NBD_SWAP_PORT) and that's why it doesn't work
| |
| 10:47 | Should we change the docs + some code, or only some code? :D
| |
| 10:48 | <sbalneav> So, we're using NBD_PORT in the code where we SHOULD be using NBD_SWAP_PORT?
| |
| 10:48 | Faithful has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:48 | <sbalneav> Code only then, I'd say :)
| |
| 10:49 | <alkisg> Well, the docs say otherwise :D
| |
| 10:49 | E.g. the docs say SWAP_SERVER, and the code uses both SWAP_SERVER and NBD_SWAP_SERVER
| |
| 10:49 | <cliebow> mordocai, i used icewm and nautilus ..made it pretty workable
| |
| 10:50 | mordocai has quit IRC | |
| 10:50 | <alkisg> sbalneav: the docs say "NBD_PORT" and the code is using both "NBD_PORT" and "NBD_SWAP_PORT"
| |
| 10:50 | NBD_PORT is also used for the nbd root server (not the swap server)
| |
| 10:51 | So it's quite misleading
| |
| 10:51 | (and broken :D)
| |
| 10:51 | I'd vote to change the docs + the code to NBD_SWAP_PORT, which is less misleading...
| |
| 10:52 | mordocai has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:52 | <sbalneav> Sounds good to me
| |
| 10:52 | <alkisg> sbalneav: ok, I'll take care of the code, could you modify the docs?
| |
| 10:52 | <sbalneav> Sure could
| |
| 10:53 | <alkisg> Thanks!
| |
| 10:53 | <sbalneav> How do you say "One moment please" in Greek?
| |
| 10:53 | <alkisg> ΜισÏŒ λεπτÏŒ (half a minute...)
| |
| 10:54 | So to sum up, NBD_PORT=the nbd root port, used in pxelinux.cfg/default, *not* used in the docs.
| |
| 10:54 | NBD_SWAP_SERVER and NBD_SWAP_PORT go in the docs.
| |
| 10:56 | <sbalneav> ok, should have an update shortyly
| |
| 10:56 | <alkisg> ΕυχαριστÏŽ :)
| |
| 10:57 | <mordocai> sbalneav: I had to reinstall Fedora at some point, so i'm setting up my environment again. With luck, it will just work.
| |
| 10:58 | Kicer86 has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:58 | <sbalneav> What does NBD_SWAP_SERVER and NBD_SWAP_PORT default to, if not specified? $SERVER and 2001?
| |
| 11:00 | <alkisg> $SERVER and 9572
| |
| 11:02 | vagrantc has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:02 | <Gadi> man, alkisg - ur making me miss engineering school with all that greek
| |
| 11:02 | ;)
| |
| 11:03 | <alincoln> stgraber: do you plan to include ltsp-remoteappsd in ltsp-client-core.install for lucid?
| |
| 11:03 | <Gadi> somehow "half a minute" translates into a Poisson equation
| |
| 11:03 | <alkisg> Heh!
| |
| 11:04 | <cliebow> now it is Gadi speaking Greek
| |
| 11:06 | <mordocai> sbalneav: Is this the best place to ask you for help with sabayon? Or would you rather me ask on the mailing list or another channel?
| |
| 11:06 | <stgraber> alincoln: I thought it already was there ... I'll fix that.
| |
| 11:06 | <alincoln> stgraber: thanks!
| |
| 11:06 | <stgraber> alkisg: hey, I'd need these gconf schema to fix fat client btw
| |
| 11:06 | <alkisg> Erm, what should happen now with AltLinux? E.g. nbd-client ${SWAP_SERVER:-$SERVER} ${NBD_PORT:-9210}
| |
| 11:06 | Should I change those references to e.g. nbd-client ${NBD_SWAP_SERVER:-$SERVER} ${NBD_SWAP_PORT:-9210}
| |
| 11:07 | etyack has quit IRC | |
| 11:07 | <alkisg> stgraber: I tried it again now, and it works fine for me *without* hiding the applet for fat clients
| |
| 11:07 | <sbalneav> mordocai: BEST place would be in #sabayon on the irc.gnome.org server, but I'm happy to help here or on the mailing list.
| |
| 11:07 | <alkisg> stgraber: Gdm is now installed (just not active), so shutdown/reboot seem to work fine...
| |
| 11:08 | <stgraber> alkisg: yeah but the screensaver is broken ;) (as in, it won't unlock)
| |
| 11:08 | Faithful has quit IRC | |
| 11:08 | <alkisg> Uh yeah that's needed :)
| |
| 11:08 | OK, I'll send them in a few days (testing is loooong with fat clients :()
| |
| 11:09 | <stgraber> ok
| |
| 11:09 | <alkisg> stgraber: nbd swapping is broken, I'll upload a fix soon, that won't be in Lucid, right?
| |
| 11:09 | <stgraber> I'll probably update lucid again if there's enough bug fix
| |
| 11:09 | <alkisg> Goodies :)
| |
| 11:09 | <stgraber> nbd swapping isn't exactly critical as it's not enabled by default but still worth fixing
| |
| 11:09 | <mordocai> sbalneav: Okay, does irc.gnome.org have a webchat like this network does? My network blocks irc, but the webchat client gets around it. My network security guy doesn't like me much, so he won't let me through lol.
| |
| 11:10 | <sbalneav> mordocai: Don't know, off the top of my head. But buy him beer, that usually works for me. Or scotch :)
| |
| 11:11 | alkisg: k, working on the docs now.
| |
| 11:12 | so, should we ditch "SWAP_SERVER"?
| |
| 11:12 | <mordocai> sbalneav: Heh, yeah. His problem is he doesn't get that intellectual arguments aren't personal. In any case, i ran ./configure then make then make install from sabayon-2.29.5-rc2's root folder, and when I try the command sabayon i get this error: http://pastebin.org/94100
| |
| 11:13 | make install was as root, rest were as a normal user
| |
| 11:13 | <sbalneav> mordocai: this is the import error again.
| |
| 11:13 | ./configure --prefix=/
| |
| 11:14 | <mordocai> oh, duh. Sorry, should have looked back through my previous problems...
| |
| 11:15 | <alkisg> sbalneav: my line of thought is: NBD_PORT is currently used for both the root and the swap port (and that's why swapping is broken). So we'd better change that to NBD_SWAP_PORT. Also, SWAP_SERVER and NBD_SWAP_SERVER are both used in the code (another broken part). I think it makes sense to keep only the latter...
| |
| 11:15 | etyack has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:15 | <alkisg> *and NBD_SWAP_PORT is also currently used in some parts of the code
| |
| 11:16 | <sbalneav> right, since nfs swapping doesn't work anymore
| |
| 11:16 | so
| |
| 11:16 | SWAP_SERVER -> NBD_SWAP_SERVER
| |
| 11:17 | create NBD_SWAP_PORT entry
| |
| 11:17 | fixin
| |
| 11:17 | <alkisg> sbalneav: don't create NBD_SWAP_PORT entry, change the existing NBD_PORT one
| |
| 11:17 | So NBD_PORT won't be referenced at all in the docs
| |
| 11:18 | (as it is an internal, pxelinux.cfg/default & inetd.conf thing)

| 11:18 | <sbalneav> alkisg: right
| |
| 11:19 | * alkisg is still unsure about how to handle the Altlinux code... | |
| 11:20 | <vagrantc> don't bother with altlinux.
| |
| 11:20 | <alkisg> Thanks ;)
| |
| 11:21 | <vagrantc> every once and a while michael shingori has something to say ... but haven't seen any action on the code.
| |
| 11:21 | supposedly they're running some ltsp4/ltsp5 hybrid environment...
| |
| 11:21 | <sbalneav> alkisg: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-docwriters/ltsp/ltsp-docs-trunk/revision/105#lts.conf.xml
| |
| 11:22 | <alkisg> sbalneav: thanks, looks fine. I'll test for a while and commit later on
| |
| 11:22 | <vagrantc> the code is still broken though, no?
| |
| 11:22 | * sbalneav gives vagrantc a great big hug for documenting things in the docs :) | |
| 11:23 | <vagrantc> awww.
| |
| 11:23 | for every piece i document, i'm sure i introduce 3 things i don't :)
| |
| 11:23 | <sbalneav> That's fine. It's the attempt to document new stuff I appreciate :)
| |
| 11:23 | <alkisg> vagrantc: yup, it's broken, any help appreciated :D (I'll give it a shot later on...)
| |
| 11:24 | <vagrantc> i remember looking at that while busy with other things and thinking we should fix it for 5.2...
| |
| 11:25 | dro has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:25 | <Gadi> speaking of which, did we want to move away from port 2000?
| |
| 11:25 | or is that too crazy
| |
| 11:25 | leave that for v6
| |
| 11:25 | <vagrantc> yeah, that was the other one.
| |
| 11:25 | <alkisg> That'd be fine - I wonder why we didn't do that for 5.2 :)
| |
| 11:26 | <vagrantc> everyone knows to not trust the initial release of a new minor version! :)
| |
| 11:26 | <Gadi> with the new code, there are only 2 places to change it
| |
| 11:26 | l-u-i and ltsp_nbd
| |
| 11:27 | and folks would need to run l-u-i after updating the chroot, so upgrade path should work
| |
| 11:27 | <vagrantc> should we just be explicity and change NBD_PORT to NBD_SWAP_PORT and NBD_ROOT_PORT , and NBD_SERVER to NBD_SWAP_SERVER and NBD_ROOT_SERVER ?
| |
| 11:28 | <Gadi> well, be careful, because NBD_SERVER is used in several places now, I think
| |
| 11:29 | <vagrantc> sure

| 11:37 | <mordocai> sbalneav: Well, i'm about where I was before. I still have that segmentation fault when I click users. However, even groups apparently isn't working right? I went through and just selected the group my account is in, and logged in and it had the default profile. Then i selected all groups and logged in, still no profiles applied. groups.xml seems to have been written properly. Here is the .xsession-errors, though I don't think any
| |
| 11:38 | <sbalneav> mordocai: sentence ended at "I don't think any"
| |
| 11:39 | And both groups and users works fine for quite a number of people, so I suspect it's something in your environment.
| |
| 11:39 | <kebax> have you ever seen anything like this: http://blog.kebaxhouse.net/images/2010/02/compaq_mini_ltsp_session_gone_crazy.jpg
| |
| 11:40 | <mordocai> sbalneav: That's wierd, shows up here. anyways the rest was: of them have anything to do with sabayon: http://pastebin.org/94109. ideas? And i'm sure it is something with me, i just don't know what it is...

| |

| |
| 11:43 | <alkisg> ogra, why? old school stuff?
| |
| 11:43 | <ogra> oh
| |
| 11:43 | i didnt know that !
| |
| 11:43 | <alkisg> purge has been there for some time now :)
| |
| 11:44 | <ogra> yeah, i'm getting old :)
| |
| 11:44 | <vagrantc> really?!
| |
| 11:44 | * ogra has a 4 in front of his age since this week | |
| 11:44 | <vagrantc> ogra: congrats on surviving!
| |
| 11:44 | * alkisg first learned the purge command, and _then_ the remove --purge parameter... :D | |
| 11:44 | <ogra> vagrantc, thanks :)
| |
| 11:45 | * ogra waits on losing more teeth and his hair now | |
| 11:45 | <alkisg> ogra, wow... by looking at your pics, I thought you were younger than me... heh, good life shows :D
| |
| 11:45 | <sbalneav> mordocai: can you paste the contents of your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/sabayon-xinitrc.sh file?

| 11:48 | <sbalneav> mordocai: there's also a bug in the apply file:
| |
| 11:48 | http://git.gnome.org/browse/sabayon/commit/?id=e05fbc8b017808a24874a24c4afad023afaa8306
| |
| 11:49 | the file shouldn't have a shebang
| |
| 11:49 | <alkisg> vagrantc: just leave it as NBD_PORT then... I don't think it'll be confusing after the swap changes
| |
| 11:49 | NBD_PORT and NBD_SERVER, no ROOT anywhere
| |
| 11:49 | <vagrantc> alkisg: well, NBD_PORT pre-dates using NBD for root.
| |
| 11:50 | so we're actually changing the behavior of NBD_PORT
| |
| 11:50 | and if we're doing that, i'd rather change it to something more explicit.
| |
| 11:50 | <alkisg> Yeah, but with 2 years of "notice" inbetween, where NBD_PORT didn't work for swapping :D
| |
| 11:50 | <kebax> er, actually I may have those effects on
| |
| 11:51 | <vagrantc> alkisg: still, i'd rather switch to something more explicit to avoid future similar problems.
| |
| 11:51 | <alkisg> OK, understandable. /me has no problem as long as it works...
| |
| 11:52 | <vagrantc> gah. these NBD variables are a disaster.
| |
| 11:52 | in some places it's safe to leave it alone. in some places it's not. and in some places it seems best to change them.
| |
| 11:53 | <alkisg> vagrantc: btw, you were right about gdm. gdm.postinst didn't delete the file, but gdm.config *did* delete it. I used preseeding to change it, but maybe ldm should do that instead of the fat client script
| |
| 11:53 | <vagrantc> :)
| |
| 11:53 | <alkisg> Should I send an example ldm.config file to be considered for packaging?
| |
| 11:54 | <vagrantc> alkisg: really, we should have a way to tell GDM and other *DM to keep their fingers from messing with *my* configuration files.
| |
| 11:54 | alkisg: another option is fixing it at boot time :)
| |
| 11:55 | <alkisg> If we've marked ldm as the default display manager in debconf, then gdm "behaves"
| |
| 11:55 | It prompts to select which dm the user wants, but it does the right thing with frontend=noninteractive
| |
| 11:55 | <vagrantc> awful.
| |
| 11:55 | i mean, ok in our case ... but ugly design.
| |
| 11:55 | <alkisg> So if we just use debconf + write /etc/X11/default-display-manager, we're ok
| |
| 11:56 | <vagrantc> s,but,butt-,g
| |
| 11:56 | <alkisg> Yup, that Pax Displayicus Managerius sucks
| |
| 11:59 | <kebax> ogra: the UI is unusable so cannot turn off the desktop effects and theres no keyboard & monitor in server anymore, any ideas?

| |
| 12:15 | <johnny> you can't clone from cgit..
| |
| 12:15 | <mordocai> I figured, I was just trying it to make sure.
| |
| 12:16 | <johnny> git clone git://git.gnome.org/sabayon is what i have..
| |
| 12:16 | <knipwim> telnet git.gnome.org 9418 ?
| |
| 12:16 | <johnny> not sure if the / at the end will cause a problem..
| |
| 12:16 | try with http as well
| |
| 12:17 | ah.. http doesn't work..
| |
| 12:17 | <mordocai> Okay, yeah. Another thing my network security guy has locked down. I work at a community college, and he's rather paranoid lol.
| |
| 12:17 | <johnny> time for a tunnel..
| |
| 12:31 | <mordocai> There has to be something wrong with my setup... nothing is working with sabayon. Changes to profiles aren't being saved, profiles don't appear to be even trying to apply themselves, and I get seg faults and other errors sometimes when saving and sometimes when removing a profile.

| |
| 13:05 | <pem725> hey all, is there an updated fatclient HOWTO for Ubuntu 9.10? I am thinking about deploying fat clients from now on due to power of my thin clients (many with 2GB RAM) and reasonable processors.
| |
| 13:06 | <kebax> what is fat client?
| |
| 13:06 | <alkisg> pem725: there's just a mail from stgraber about it, but I've done dozens of fat client installations, so I may help whenever you have problems
| |
| 13:06 | You'll need stgraber's ppa in your sources, thought, with the latest ltsp
| |
| 13:06 | <pem725> OK
| |
| 13:06 | I'll ad it to my sources right away.
| |
| 13:06 | any gotchas I should be aware of before plunging in?
| |
| 13:07 | I'm plunging in right now...
| |

| 13:07 | mgariepy has quit IRC | |
| 13:08 | <dro> kebax: it is a client that pulls an image from the ltsp server, then uses it's own local resources to work
| |
| 13:08 | <pem725> kebax, a fat client is a client that uses its own resources to run apps - at least that is what I read to date. Thus, if you have a powerful client and want to off load some of the cpu and ram responsibilities then it makes sense to use a fat client.
| |
| 13:09 | <dro> i need to switch all my installs to fat clients
| |
| 13:09 | but i'm waiting until after lucid comes out
| |
| 13:09 | that way I don't have to upgrade twice
| |
| 13:10 | <alkisg> ....and it'll be much more stable, as fat clients aren't much tested yet
| |
| 13:10 | Testers are very welcome, though ;)
| |
| 13:10 | <pem725> dro: I am rolling the dice and hoping that karmic comes through with a stable alternative to my bogged down network.
| |
| 13:11 | <the_fronny> Can someone point me to a webpage describing the use of NFS instead of NBD with LTSP5? I've been hitting a "failed to connect to NBD server" error and I'm tired of trying to patch Ubuntu/LTSP code.
| |
| 13:11 | <dro> pem725: whats bogging down your network
| |
| 13:11 | <pem725> cpu and ram usage.
| |
| 13:11 | both maxed out with my thin clients
| |
| 13:11 | <alkisg> vagrantc: we had a quick chat in the ML about automatically enabling NBD_SWAP for low RAM clients. You argued that ltsp_nbd is not a good place to do that, and I agree. But what if we did that in configure_swap()?
| |
| 13:11 | I.e., at the top of configure_swap, we could add a couple of lines: if [ -z "$NBD_SWAP" ]; then if the client has <= 80 ram; then NBD_SWAP=True.
| |
| 13:11 | And in the docs: "NBD_SWAP defaults to true for clients with < 80 MB ram, and to false for clients with > 80 MB RAM".
| |
| 13:11 | <pem725> and my thin clients are not really that thin.
| |
| 13:11 | <dro> the_fronny: instead lets try to fix the nbd issues....probably ane asy fix
| |
| 13:12 | the_fronny: what type of dhcp server do you use? linux or windows?
| |
| 13:12 | <kebax> so, fat client would be useful for, say, showing hd video?
| |
| 13:12 | <the_fronny> dro: Linux, karmic, i386
| |
| 13:12 | <dro> pem725: oh gotcha, the ltsp server is being maxed out....yea time for fat clients
| |
| 13:12 | <pem725> kebax: yep
| |
| 13:12 | wish me luck!
| |
| 13:12 | <dro> the_fronny: is your dhcp server the ltsp server also?
| |
| 13:13 | pem725 has quit IRC | |
| 13:13 | <the_fronny> dro: Yes.
| |
| 13:13 | <dro> the_fronny: in your dhcpd.conf do you have next-server defined?
| |
| 13:13 | <the_fronny> dro: lemme look...
| |
| 13:14 | <alkisg> the_fronny: you want to have 2 different chroots with NFS? How's that going to be simpler, as opposed to 2 NBD chroots? NBD isn't your problem. Multiple chroots is...
| |
| 13:15 | <the_fronny> dro: It was in there (the server's IP addy) but commented. I uncommented it and re-started DHCP
| |
| 13:15 | <dro> the_fronny: see if your nbd error goes away now
| |
| 13:15 | <the_fronny> dro: I'm trying it now.
| |
| 13:16 | <dro> the_fronny: you trying to run multiple chroots or something weird?
| |
| 13:16 | i wish i could use my name as my chat name
| |
| 13:16 | you guys would laugh at my last name
| |
| 13:16 | <alkisg> Why?
| |
| 13:17 | <dro> Hunsucker :)
| |
| 13:17 | <alkisg> ;)
| |
| 13:17 | <dro> and that hun , is pronounced like the "hon" in "honey"
| |
| 13:18 | <sbalneav> dro: no worse than "Balneaves"
| |
| 13:18 | <the_fronny> dro: Yes, one for some 'typical' clients and one for Aspire Revos (Atom). I pulled a recipe off an Ubuntu page. Might those instructions be broken?
| |
| 13:19 | <dro> sbalneav: I don't know about that i guess i could register thunsucker
| |
| 13:19 | the_fronny: was just curious alkisg posted something to about doign multiple chroots, is your issue resolved?
| |
| 13:20 | dro is now known as thunsucker | |
| 13:20 | lsenft has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:21 | thunsucker has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:21 | <thunsucker> the_fronny: did that resolve your issue
| |
| 13:21 | <the_fronny> dro: I chatted with him yesterday. No, things are still broken. I'll roll back to zero and try just one chroot first.
| |
| 13:22 | <thunsucker> the_fronny: k cool, so still a nbd error?
| |
| 13:24 | <vagrantc> alkisg: enabling NBD swap by default would require enabling the server-side nbdswapd by default ... or at least proper handling if the server doesn't have it enabled.
| |
| 13:24 | <the_fronny> thunsucker: Yes. Look, I'm going to assume the recipe I'm using is broken and get just one chroot going. If the NBD error shows up then I'll post. Sorry for the trouble. I'm pretty good with LTSP-4.2 but the newer clients we're going to just don't work with that. Thanks.
| |
| 13:24 | <lsenft> I'm having some trouble with my ltsp system. I read that multiple instances of nbd can cause problems. There are currently multiple instances of nbd running on my ltsp server. Is this normal? Should there be an instance for each user? I have multiple users on the system so I'm not in a position to restart the server or service until the end of the day.
| |
| 13:25 | <thunsucker> the_fronny: well the big thing that i see new ltsp users do, is not update their server and their chroot's
| |
| 13:25 | <alkisg> vagrantc: only for low ram clients, which require it anyway
| |
| 13:25 | <thunsucker> lsenft: what type of problems are you having?
| |
| 13:26 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i routinely test with 64MB clients without troubles.
| |
| 13:26 | <alkisg> With no swap at all?
| |
| 13:26 | <vagrantc> yes.\
| |
| 13:26 | <alkisg> I've experienced some problems, and others reported problems as well
| |
| 13:27 | mordocai has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:27 | <alkisg> Hmmm...
| |
| 13:27 | <the_fronny> thunsucker: Did all that. By the book. That's why I'm so frustrated. I'll step back a bit and keep it kindergarten until it works, then try fancy. Thanks.
| |
| 13:27 | <thunsucker> the_fronny: sounds good
| |
| 13:27 | the_fronny: do you have the link for the ubuntu ltsp wiki?
| |
| 13:27 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:28 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i think ogra enabled the swap from initramfs just to get really low spec clients to be able to boot at all.
| |
| 13:28 | <alkisg> vagrantc: yup, I got that part, that's why I proposed configure_swap instead
| |
| 13:28 | <mordocai> sbalnaev: Okay, i'm just reformatted my drive and resinstalled fedora with default settings. I'm going to set up ltsp again, then we'll see if I can get sabayon working... hopefully it was just some lingering config issue
| |
| 13:28 | <vagrantc> alkisg: as mounting the root filesystem with squashfs and aufs and all that actually may briefly require a lot of ram...
| |
| 13:28 | <lsenft> thunsucker: The system is being very flaky. Yesterday we rebuilt the image to include sunbird. People that have the old image are doing fine. The new image hangs after you boot, if it boots at all. Sometimes you get a message saying that it cannot connect to the server when you try to login. Other times it can't even get the image to boot.
| |
| 13:29 | <thunsucker> lsenft: did you update the chroot before you installed sunbird?
| |
| 13:29 | <the_fronny> thunsucker: I had http://wiki.ltsp.org but it looks semi-retired. I've been using Ubuntu's pages.
| |
| 13:29 | <alkisg> vagrantc: I'm not interested about clients with < 64Mb ram, as those will be dead slow anyway. But I think that 64Mb clients do need swap, or random processes are killed when firefox starts using x ram... I don't have hard proof though.
| |
| 13:30 | <vagrantc> alkisg: yeah, that'll definitely happen.
| |
| 13:30 | <thunsucker> the_fronny: this link will be your friend https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP
| |
| 13:30 | <lsenft> thunsucker: I installed sunbird, ran apt-get update in the chroot and rebuilt the image.
| |
| 13:30 | <alkisg> vagrantc: I think it's better to have them slow down a little, rather than for random processes to be killed
| |
| 13:30 | <thunsucker> lsenft: did you run apt-get dist-upgrade ?
| |
| 13:30 | <vagrantc> alkisg: agreed.
| |
| 13:30 | <lsenft> thunsucker: No I did not run dist-upgrade
| |
| 13:31 | <vagrantc> alkisg: speaking of which, we forgot to up the default size in nbdswapd
| |
| 13:31 | <thunsucker> lsenft: might be part of your problem, would hurt to update and then dist-upgrade it
| |
| 13:31 | lsenft: then of coruse have to do kernel and image update
| |
| 13:31 | <lsenft> Does that need to be done inside and outside of the chroot?
| |
| 13:32 | <alkisg> vagrantc: ok, so can I do both? i.e. enable nbd_swap by default for clients with < 80 (?) ram, and also up the size to 64m?
| |
| 13:32 | <vagrantc> though originally, had this crazy idea to have multiple nbd swap instances, so kept the size small.
| |
| 13:32 | <the_fronny> thunsucker: Been there. Using the atom/ion page. Thanks again.
| |
| 13:32 | <alkisg> vagrantc: ...and only if no local swap partition if found :D
| |
| 13:32 | <vagrantc> alkisg: using swapd or some such, you can dynamically allocate more swap.
| |
| 13:33 | <lsenft> thunsucker: So I still don't get whether or not the multiple instances of nbd are a problem, which I read on a forum post.
| |
| 13:33 | <alkisg> vagrantc: I don't think I'm able to do dynamic swapping, I'm able to test though :D
| |
| 13:33 | <thunsucker> lsenft: no shouldn't be an issue
| |
| 13:34 | <vagrantc> alkisg: it's been on my todo list since ... 2006 at least. :)
| |
| 13:34 | <lsenft> thunsucker: do I have to do something special to update the kernel for the chroot?
| |
| 13:34 | <thunsucker> lsenft: check out the updating chroot section here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP
| |
| 13:34 | <lsenft> thunsucker: Thanks ;)

| 14:20 | <Gadi> vagrantc: ping
| |
| 14:22 | <vagrantc> Gadi: pongitty
| |
| 14:23 | <Gadi> hey, you were the last one before me to muck with the ltsp-update-sshkeys code, right?
| |
| 14:23 | I have a question of nuance
| |
| 14:23 | :)
| |
| 14:23 | <vagrantc> ok
| |
| 14:23 | <Gadi> I am trying to recall if the old code made a key for the hostname "server"
| |
| 14:24 | <vagrantc> it did, yes.
| |
| 14:24 | <Gadi> as in the hostname that is written to the client's /etc/hosts on boot
| |
| 14:24 | ah, ok
| |
| 14:24 | <vagrantc> yes.
| |
| 14:24 | <Gadi> I think I may have killed that
| |
| 14:24 | <vagrantc> killer!
| |
| 14:24 | <Gadi> and need to add that back in
| |
| 14:24 | alexqwesa_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:24 | <vagrantc> please do :)
| |
| 14:24 | <Gadi> hmm...
| |
| 14:24 | bec I changed to using ssh-keyscan
| |
| 14:25 | to get all the keys
| |
| 14:25 | <vagrantc> even the server's keys?
| |
| 14:25 | <Gadi> so, I will have to do some sed work
| |
| 14:25 | yeah
| |
| 14:25 | <vagrantc> it still supports /etc/ltsp/ssh_known_hosts.*, right?
| |
| 14:25 | <Gadi> definitely
| |
| 14:25 | I extended it
| |
| 14:26 | such that when you call "ltsp-update-sshkeys [host1] [host2] ..." it generates a /etc/ltsp/ssh_known_hosts.auto
| |
| 14:26 | with those extra hosts' keys
| |
| 14:27 | if you call it with the "-u" flag, it updates the chroot at the same time
| |
| 14:27 | with server's keys plus the other host keys
| |
| 14:27 | if you specify an export file with -e, it writes to that
| |
| 14:28 | this way, if someone wants to point to additional app servers, they need only run: ltsp-update-sshkeys -u [appsrv1] [appsrv2] ...
| |
| 14:28 | the_fronny has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:28 | alexqwesa_ has quit IRC | |
| 14:28 | <vagrantc> Gadi: and it'll keep all those servers available?
| |
| 14:29 | er...
| |
| 14:29 | it'll update the servers already defined?
| |
| 14:29 | <Gadi> right
| |
| 14:29 | * vagrantc still prefers the old fashioned way :) | |
| 14:30 | <vagrantc> imagine that
| |
| 14:30 | <Gadi> well, there was no old fashioned way for someone to easily handle keys
| |
| 14:30 | from other servers
| |
| 14:31 | <vagrantc> "ltsp-update-sshkeys --export" and copy it over to the server ... or know what you're actually doing and do so manually.
| |
| 14:31 | <Gadi> for that to work, you need ltsp-server installed on the app server
| |
| 14:31 | which you prolly dont have
| |
| 14:31 | <vagrantc> sure enough
| |
| 14:32 | alexqwesa_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:33 | johnny has left #ltsp | |
| 14:33 | <the_fronny> All: I've done a reinstall of ltsp-server-standalone on ubuntu karmic, then ltsp-build-client, changed the IPs in dhcpd.conf, then ltsp-update-sshkeys, then ltsp-update-image and a reboot.
| |
| 14:34 | johnny has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:34 | <the_fronny> I'm still getting the refusal from NBD-server
| |
| 14:35 | refusal to connect (swap, isn't it?)
| |
| 14:35 | <alkisg> No, nbd server is your root server (=the virtual disk, the chroot)
| |
| 14:35 | <the_fronny> OK.
| |
| 14:35 | <mordocai> I know ubuntu comes with a firewall, but is it on by default? I had to disable iptables on fedora(for the time being, i'll fix the rules later)
| |
| 14:36 | <alkisg> the_fronny: sudo netstat -nap|grep 2000
| |
| 14:37 | <the_fronny> alksig: Nothing. Do I have to create something in /etc/services? I'll look there now.
| |
| 14:38 | <alkisg> the_fronny: grep nbd /etc/inetd.conf
| |
| 14:39 | <the_fronny> alksig: There's some garbage from my earlier attempts. Let me clean that up and try again.
| |
| 14:42 | alksig: I have nbdswapd assigned to ports 9572 and 9210. Is there a preferred port, or just kill one of 'em?
| |
| 14:43 | <Gadi> vagrantc: fixed
| |
| 14:43 | <the_fronny> There's also this: 2000 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
| |
| 14:45 | <Gadi> the_fronny: have you been restarting the inetd service?
| |
| 14:46 | <the_fronny> Gadi: Yes, xinetd, installed by the ltsp-server package
| |
| 14:46 | <Gadi> err... no...
| |
| 14:47 | you have xinetd installed?
| |
| 14:47 | <the_fronny> Yes
| |
| 14:47 | <Gadi> do: dpkg -l|grep inetd
| |
| 14:48 | (this is ubuntu?)
| |
| 14:48 | <the_fronny> ii xinetd 1:2.3.14-7ubuntu2 replacement for inetd wit...
| |
| 14:48 | Yes, karmic
| |
| 14:48 | <Gadi> well, on ubuntu, the default is openbsd-inetd
| |
| 14:48 | not xinetd
| |
| 14:48 | you can edit /etc/inetd.conf till ur blue in the face, and xinetd won't read it
| |
| 14:48 | :)
| |
| 14:49 | xinetd works off of /etc/xinetd.d/
| |
| 14:49 | which has a file for each service
| |
| 14:49 | <the_fronny> I'd be happy to uninstall xinetd and standalone, and re-install standalone, just to see what happens.
| |
| 14:49 | <Gadi> you may want to uninstall xinetd and install openbsd-inetd
| |
| 14:50 | <the_fronny> Sure, why not, at this point :)
| |
| 14:50 | * Gadi is not sure why xinetd got pulled in there | |
| 14:51 | <knipwim> vagrantc: i made some changes to ltsp-info in my dev branch
| |
| 14:51 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wimmuskee/ltsp/ltsp-gentoo-dev/revision/2
| |
| 14:51 | <Gadi> hehe - don't get frustrated. its not all voodoo and whichcraft
| |
| 14:51 | :)
| |
| 14:51 | but you dont need to do everything all over
| |
| 14:51 | <knipwim> vagrantc: is it ok if i push it to the main branch?
| |
| 14:52 | <Gadi> the_fronny: you probably installed some other package that pulled in xinetd (like vmware or something)
| |
| 14:53 | <vagrantc> knipwim: you removed support for /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/
| |
| 14:53 | knipwim: don't do that.
| |
| 14:53 | <knipwim> vagrantc: check
| |
| 14:53 | was fro my own testing
| |
| 14:53 | <vagrantc> knipwim: why do you only have 2 revisions?
| |
| 14:53 | knipwim: that's not going to be mergeable into the main trunk
| |
| 14:54 | <knipwim> i know
| |
| 14:54 | <the_fronny> Gadi: That did it!
| |
| 14:54 | <knipwim> i keep a release branch, which is always up-to-date with the main one
| |
| 14:54 | <Gadi> the_fronny: excellent! black magic at work
| |
| 14:54 | :)
| |
| 14:54 | <vagrantc> knipwim: why'd you remove Debian_server_info ?
| |
| 14:54 | <Gadi> the_fronny: be careful of installing any package that wants to remove openbsd-inetd
| |
| 14:55 | it is easy to just click ok withoutrealizing it
| |
| 14:55 | <the_fronny> I'm feeling pretty cocky right now. Might just re-do my first steps to see just what pulled in xinetd. Maybe it was me, or someone exactlu like me. LOL!
| |
| 14:55 | <knipwim> vagrantc: thinking the lsb_release -all call is generic between distros
| |
| 14:55 | <vagrantc> knipwim: think again
| |
| 14:55 | <knipwim> at least between gentoo and debian :)
| |
| 14:55 | which are the only two who use the function
| |
| 14:55 | currently
| |
| 14:56 | <mordocai> sbalneav: still around?
| |
| 14:56 | <knipwim> thinking if there are no differences between the functions, why have two
| |
| 14:56 | <vagrantc> knipwim: maybe name it lsb_server_info
| |
| 14:56 | <knipwim> check
| |
| 14:57 | <vagrantc> that way distros that expect to have lsb can call it
| |
| 14:57 | <sbalneav> mordocai: yes
| |
| 14:58 | <mordocai> sbalneav: Well, I figured out what the users issue is, though I have no idea how to fix it. Anytime ldap is enabled, both useradd and sabayon have a seg fault. When it's disabled, it works. I'm asking around #fedora for solutions.
| |
| 14:59 | pmatulis has quit IRC | |
| 14:59 | <sbalneav> mordocai: how many users do you have?
| |
| 14:59 | in ldap
| |
| 15:00 | <mordocai> sbalneav:Well, i don't know for sure because I don't run the ldap, but i'd say 1000+
| |
| 15:01 | sbalneav: We have a lot of students, and i'm not sure how often the clear out the old users.
| |
| 15:02 | <sbalneav> where is it dying again?
| |
| 15:02 | paste the python error
| |
| 15:02 | <vagrantc> knipwim: one other small detail... in find_lts_conf, you could just "echo found ..." in all cases, instead of having an else condition for verbose=false
| |
| 15:02 | knipwim: other than that, looks good.
| |
| 15:04 | <mordocai> sbalnaev:Well, umm... I asked, and it appears we have 42000 users... and i'll get you that error, one second.
| |
| 15:04 | <knipwim> vagrantc: will do, thanks for the feedback
| |
| 15:07 | <mordocai> sbalnaev: Well, the error is simply a segmentation fault. Did you want an strace?
| |
| 15:07 | <the_fronny> Gadi, et al: Thanks everyone!

| |
| 15:13 | <reynolds> Sweet: here is my my log http://pastebin.com/d283c1708
| |
| 15:13 | <alkisg> reynolds: so you've rebooted both server + clients, and you have key problems? What's the error message?
| |
| 15:14 | <mordocai> sbalneav: Okay, well I don't really require users as long as I can throw myself in a group that isn't limited. I have a different issue that is a problem though. When I edit a profile and make changes, they show up in edit changes. However, when I hit save they dissapear from this view(i could see that being a feature, though) and then when I close and reopen the profile, the changes are not saved.
| |
| 15:14 | <reynolds> I have rebooted, reinstalled and am getting service not started or keys are not setup.
| |
| 15:15 | <alkisg> reynolds: reinstalled italc? do reboot the server after the installation... or at least logoff + logon as the "admin" user
| |
| 15:15 | reynolds: also, the "teacher" should be in the admin group
