there is a surprising amount of really good templates for openoffice now... as compared to a couple years back
04:07
highvoltage: u there?

<highvoltage>
nubae: yep. hi
04:36alkisg has joined #ltsp

<nubae>
oh, hi highvoltage
04:52
carrying where we left of yesterday
04:53
I've done packaging for redhat and suse
04:53
but not for .debs...
04:53
However, I'd like to learn
04:54
Is there something relatively simple I could start with?
04:54
thats always the problem, finding some source to package that isn't a huge stack of disjointed items...
04:54
at least thats the way it is with rpms
04:55
greets alkisg
04:55
<alkisg>
Hi nubae
04:55
<nubae>
I just found pastebin kde widget... super little useful thing
04:55
for folks like us
04:56
http://imagebin.ca/view/IkA2LXW.html -- tell me what u think
04:56
<alkisg>
If you're considering moodle, it's is already packaged, so it should be a good place to start
04:56
<nubae>
constructive criticism welcome
04:56
well moodle is quite big... lots of different things
04:56
but if u think I can handle it I'll try
04:57
is the greek correct in the images?
04:57
<alkisg>
GNOSIS? Yup, it's fine
04:58
I'd use a text path in gimp to bend the letters in the diploma, though
04:58
<nubae>
the ischis dia tis gnoseos too?
04:58
bend how do u mean?
04:58
not sure I understand
04:58
<alkisg>
Ah I didn't see that. Yeah, that's fine too
04:58
<nubae>
which do u prefer, orange or green?
04:59
<alkisg>
http://www.gimpers.com/how-to-make-curved-text-in-gimp/
05:00
<nubae>
ah so its not so flat u mean?
05:01
<alkisg>
Or http://gimp-tutorials.net/gimp-text-to-path-tutorial
05:01
Yeah, so it has the same angle as the diploma
05:01
<nubae>
ok thanks.... green or orange?
05:01
<alkisg>
orange
05:02
<nubae>
yeah more modern I think...
05:02
hehe, love the fact it must be a 11 or 12 year old in the video
05:03
btw, I used inkscape
05:03
<alkisg>
Ah, well it sure supports curved text too
05:03
<nubae>
yeah
05:05
is there a smaller source i can practice on to turn into an edubuntu approved .deb?

<Jinux>
Hey
14:23
got a question:
14:23
Is there anyway to customise the client chroot
14:24
so they only get certain menu options etc..
14:24
?
14:24
<alkisg>
The chroot? The menus are the server menus...
14:24
<Jinux>
yeah
14:24
<alkisg>
So you need to customize the server menus, not the chroot
14:24
<Jinux>
that seems silly
14:24
<alkisg>
E.g. "edubuntu menus" has support for different menus per group, if that's what you're looking
14:25
Well, ltsp clients work on the server...
14:25
<Jinux>
ooh that sounds what im looking for yeah
14:25
I'm just thinking, for example: I want Add/Remove Applications in the server menu but not the clients menu
14:26
so getting rid of it on the server so that it's not in the client image seems silly
14:26
<alkisg>
So you can put that only for "group=admin"
14:26
<Jinux>
hmmm alright.
14:26
<alkisg>
Well, the client image doesn't have any menus at all
14:27
It just makes a "remote desktop" connection to the server
14:27
So you can't remove any menus from the chroot, because it doesn't have any...
14:27
<Jinux>
Ooooooooooohhh
14:27
i see!!
14:27
sorry for my stupidity :P
14:27
<alkisg>
Nah, LTSP does that to people the first months :D
14:28
<Jinux>
btw, remember when you helped 'cluster' out the other day alkisg? That was me :P
14:28
Thanks alot for being patient :)
14:28
<alkisg>
Ah, you keep changing names...
14:28
Tricky :)
14:28
<Jinux>
yeah i know, sorry
14:28
different machines
14:29
<alkisg>
I think you were using another one yesterday also... j* something
14:29
<Jinux>
joeasaurus
14:29
<alkisg>
Right, that one
14:29
<Jinux>
yeah
14:29
I only just got the hang of the nickserv thing like
14:29
an hour ago :P
14:29
<alkisg>
Heh
14:29
Are you using fat clients? I don't remember...
14:30
Because for fat clients things are different, the chroot indeed has menus there
14:30
<Jinux>
we are atm as we're just setting up LTSP as a fun-learny type thing
14:30
but the command i use to make the chroot is
14:30
ltsp-build-client --arch i386 --ltsp-cluster --prompt-rootpass
14:31
<alkisg>
OK, yeah then you need to use edubuntu-menus or sabayon or something similar
14:31
<Jinux>
ill have a look at edubuntu-menus
14:31Mathis has joined #ltsp
14:31
<Jinux>
sounds perfect
14:31
<Mathis>
hello
14:32
<Jinux>
im thinking though, will I need to set it twice over our two application servers, or is there a file i can just mirror?
14:32
<Mathis>
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 and all updates in a virtual machine and followed LTSP > Wiki > ubuntuusers.de - everything works fine so far
14:32
<alkisg>
Jinux: http://www.stgraber.org/2010/02/16/say-hi-edubuntu-menu-editor
14:33
<Jinux>
thanks :)
14:33
Keep an eye our - 95% chance ill be back :P
14:33
out*
14:33
<Mathis>
havent found anything about how to start a ssh daemon on the clients, how do I do that?
14:33

<Mathis>
thanks
14:34
<alkisg>
Mathis: there _are_ some security concerns about installing an ssh server on the clients...
14:34
<Mathis>
doesnt matter, its a private network
14:34
<alkisg>
OK
14:34
<Mathis>
I'm using it for transcoding DVDs in a cluster
14:37leio_ has joined #ltsp
14:38
<Mathis>
installing openssh-server in the LTSP chroot failed trying to restart the service
14:39leio has quit IRC
14:39
<alkisg>
It shouldn't be a problem...
14:40
<Mathis>
strange, when trying to log into a client, it asks me for the clients root password, but it replies "Permission denied, please try again."
14:40
does LTSP have an own root password?
14:41
<alkisg>
There are no users in the ltsp chroot
14:41
There's only the root account, which is locked, if we're talking about ubuntu
14:41
<Mathis>
we are
14:41
I have booted the client in another vm and a root shell is automatically logged in
14:42
<alkisg>
That's why I wrote about "passwordless ssh' in that page...
14:42
That's just a shell, you can't login as root as there's no password
14:42
You can define a password if you want, though
14:42

after.local script in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d seems not to be executed, is this being changed since last year?
15:13
I'd like to auto-mount an NFS exported directory on my server to every client, thats why I use after.local for mounting
15:15
<alkisg>
Afaik you need to put it in an rc.d directory to get executed, not just in init.d
15:16
<Mathis>
someone here told me a year ago, I have to put it in init.d, iirc
15:16
based on this and many other infos I wrote this howto: http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Transcoding
15:17
<alkisg>
Did he also tell you to run update-rd.d ?
15:17
*rc.d ?
15:17
<Mathis>
no
15:18
<alkisg>
Try: man update-rc.d
15:18tstafford has joined #ltsp
15:19
<alkisg>
Afaik an rc.d symlink is needed for the script to get executed...
15:21timborn has quit IRC
15:21
<Mathis>
I could also simply edit etc/rc.local
15:22* alkisg wonders if an NFS_MOUNT lts.conf parameter would be more useful than the newly-introduced NFS_HOME...
15:22* Mathis too
15:23
<alkisg>
But I guess you could also use /home for that, couldn't you?
15:23
I.e. mount /server/some/dir to the client /home ?
15:23
And use it from there?
15:23
<Mathis>
no, since I am using root
15:24
<alkisg>
So? doesn't root have access to /home?
15:24
<Mathis>
and the servers exported directory is in some servers users home dir
15:24
<alkisg>
So?
15:24
<Mathis>
transcode expects the data in /root/dvdrip-data
15:24
<alkisg>
export server:/home/someuser/dir, mount to client:/home, and use it from there
15:24
ln -s /home /root/dvdrip-data
15:25
<Mathis>
I just mount it using rc.local
15:25
<alkisg>
Yeah, I'm just saying that with the latest ltsp, you don't need rc.local.
15:25
Anyway...
15:26
<Mathis>
also I need to apply some specific parameters to mount.nfs
15:28
rc.local has not been executed too
15:28
ah, need to enable the script
15:31
still not being run at starttime
15:31
<abeehc>
i didn't have luck
15:32
till specifying in lts.conf
15:32
RCFILE_02 = /etc/rc.local
15:32
<vagrantc>
Mathis: you could also use RC_FILE_01=/path/to/your/script
15:32
in lts.conf
15:33
<abeehc>
my 01 is the resolv.conf fix script thing for localapps
15:33
<Mathis>
ah, thanks
15:33
<vagrantc>
oops, yeah... RCFILE_XX
15:34
<alkisg>
vagrantc: what's a good line for nfs /home mounting? Is `/home *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)` OK ?
15:34
<johnny>
alkisg, NFS_MOUNT_01="/home" ?
15:34timborn has joined #ltsp
15:34
<Mathis>
vagrantc: do I have to supply servers full path or clients full path?
15:34
<alkisg>
johnny: would we also need the server export? Or the nfs parameters? I don't know...
15:35
...or the complete line?
15:35
E.g. maybe an "FSTAB_ENTRY=xxx" :D
15:35
<johnny>
no.. if it's not mounted..
15:35
err
15:35
if it doesn't exist on the server.. it should silently fail
15:35
idon't think we should be mssing around with exports file on the server
15:36
at least until we have a more api like access to that file
15:36jammcq has quit IRC
15:36
<alkisg>
johnny: no, I mean, maybe someone has exported /nfshome on his server, and he wants to mount _that_ as the client /home
15:36
<johnny>
ah
15:36
<alkisg>
So, we'd need to know 2 things - the export name, and the mount point
15:36
...and maybe the mount params...
15:36
So maybe an FSTAB_ENTRY would be the most generic thing to have
15:37
<johnny>
ah true
15:37
and we already have that option
15:37
<alkisg>
We do?
15:37
<johnny>
don't we?
15:37
or is it just CONFIGURE_FSTAB then?
15:37
maybe that's what i'm remembering..
15:37
<alkisg>
Just that, afaik
15:37
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i don't mess with writeable NFS :P
15:37
<alkisg>
I don't think we have a mechanism for CONFIGURE_FSTAB=true _and_ add an additional entry there...
15:38
vagrantc: heh, ok. Sorry but it's the only way I've found so far for evolution to work on fat clients. :)
15:39
<vagrantc>
Mathis: relative to the client... it's code that runs on the client.
15:39
<Mathis>
thanks
15:41
interesting... I found the client:/etc/init.d/rc.local which comments that it starts the client:/etc/rc.local if it exists
15:42
so I can assume, this script is malfunctioning
15:43
<abeehc>
i don't see how
15:43
the script probly works fine as is
15:43
just doesn't get executed
15:43
hence the lts.conf declaration
15:43
<Mathis>
right
15:44
now it got executed
