| 08:39 | <grey-monkey> I'm having troubles with my network printers not being available in all local applications on my thin clients. Is there a way to make a printer globally available to local applications?
| |
| 08:49 | rjune has quit IRC | |
| 08:50 | <alkisg> The only relevant thing I know is that when I have a printer connected to my server, to make that printer available to my ltsp-based fat clients (==localapps), I need to go to the printer's configuration dialog on the serer, then on the menu server > settings, and check "Publish shared printers connected to this system".
| |
| 08:50 | This way the clients auto-detect the printer, I don't need to do something on them.
| |
| 08:51 | <grey-monkey> I'll try that. Thanks

| |
| 10:04 | <alkisg> Hi Scotty. I don't know what's the correct phrase in English, but I hope you get better :)
| |
| 10:05 | <sbalneav> it was 10 years ago today that Legal Aid Manitoba deployed an LTSP desktop
| |
| 10:05 | So, we've been running LTSP at Legal Aid for 10 years.

| 11:28 | <abeehc> anyone running oo.org as localapp? found the magic package to make spellcheck work?~
| |
| 11:38 | <alkisg> openoffice.org-l10n-el ?
| |
| 11:38 | (-XX, of course..)
| |
| 11:43 | <abeehc> oh man hope you are right, i was lacking that one!
| |
| 11:43 | en-gb
| |
| 11:43 | wooooo
| |
| 11:43 | primeministerp has quit IRC | |
| 11:52 | <abeehc> hmm seems to have not worked :\
| |
| 11:52 | damn
| |
| 11:53 | <alkisg> language-support* ?
| |
| 12:01 | primeministerp has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:02 | <abeehc> that looks promising
| |
| 12:11 | anivair has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:12 | <anivair> real quick, does anyone know if the thin clients from disklessworkstations.com use full duplex?
| |
| 12:12 | I can't get mii-tool to run locally
| |
| 12:12 | so askibng is the next best option
| |
| 12:13 | (specifically, I'm looking at the term 1220
| |
| 12:13 | )
| |
| 12:19 | <abeehc> ethtool?
| |
| 12:21 | <anivair> that won't work because I need root permissions to use it. I don't have admin rights on a local terminal
| |
| 12:22 | (ie: if I run it on a localapps xterm window, I can't run ethtool because I can't run it as root (no display) and I can't sudo (no sudo)
| |
| 12:23 | laron has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:24 | Lns has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:25 | <laron> is there a good ltsp client graphicall manager?
| |
| 12:25 | <alkisg> like iTalc?
| |
| 12:26 | <anivair> what it seems like I really need is a way to check to see if a given thin client is using full duplex. right now I've got nothing
| |
| 12:26 | all I know is that the server is
| |
| 12:27 | which doesn't help when running things on the thin client
| |
| 12:30 | really, it's a permissions issue. I don't have admin privelidges on hte localapps
| |
| 12:30 | so there's not much i can do that touches the nic
| |
| 12:31 | <Lns> anivair: why not create a script during bootup to tell the server somehow (append to text file?) ?
| |
| 12:32 | or simply log into tc chroot
| |
| 12:32 | <anivair> you lost me
| |
| 12:33 | you mean create a script to tell me at bootup whether or not they're using full duplex?
| |
| 12:33 | <alkisg> anivair: put SCREEN_02=shell in lts.conf
| |
| 12:33 | This way you'll get a root shell in the client
| |
| 12:33 | <anivair> good call
| |
| 12:33 | <alkisg> Then you can run mii-tool or ethtool etc..
| |
| 12:34 | [Default]
| |
| 12:34 | SCREEN_02=shell
| |
| 12:34 | SCREEN_07=ldm
| |
| 12:34 | <Lns> alkisg: why not just ctrl+alt+f1? Isn't there always a client shell there?
| |
| 12:35 | <anivair> there is, but no login
| |
| 12:35 | <alkisg> Lns, he'd need to unlock the root account to login there
| |
| 12:35 | set a password, update the image etc... more difficult
| |
| 12:35 | <anivair> will i need to reload the kernel after editing lts.conf? or just reboot?
| |
| 12:35 | <alkisg> Just reboot
| |
| 12:35 | <Lns> alkisg: this just dumps you into a shell itself?
| |
| 12:35 | <alkisg> (the client)
| |
| 12:35 | Lns, yup
| |
| 12:36 | <Lns> ..wow
| |
| 12:36 | didn't know that one!
| |
| 12:36 | <alkisg> Hey!
| |
| 12:36 | How did you debug problems so long?! :)
| |
| 12:36 | <Lns> I never really had many on the clients.. =)
| |
| 12:36 | <alkisg> OK, then maybe I should also tell you the secret lts.conf setting to get a 10x speed boost... :D
| |
| 12:36 | <Lns> and I always set root pw anyway
| |
| 12:36 | alkisg: hahaha
| |
| 12:37 | surely you mean LTSP_10X = True
| |
| 12:37 | to force 100mbit cards to 1Gbit, right?
| |
| 12:37 | like overlocking
| |
| 12:38 | overclocking*
| |
| 12:38 | ogra_cmpc has quit IRC | |
| 12:38 | <alkisg> Yup, and also FORCE_GLX=True which enables 3d hardware acceleration on all cards...
| |
| 12:39 | <Lns> nice one
| |
| 12:39 | personally I like LTSP = ponies..for magical ponies to dance around at random times

| |
| 13:02 | efra has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:03 | <anivair> Thanks, that worked like a charm
| |
| 13:03 | (though ltsp = ponies was less successful)
| |
| 13:03 | (though it did look good next to my SOUND_DAEMON=bubba entry)
| |
| 13:05 | <Lns> =p
| |
| 13:05 | <anivair> that last one is not a joke, either. I like ot think of it as a little present for the person who replaces me here someday.
| |
| 13:06 | * Lns loves putting witty comments in config files | |
| 13:07 | japerry has left #ltsp | |
| 13:08 | <abeehc> man still no oo.org spellcheck; language-support-en appears tohave had no effect
| |
| 13:15 | <alkisg> on your server: dpkg -l '*-en*' | grep ^ii
| |
| 13:16 | ...and see what's missing from the chroot...

| 13:19 | <Lns> What's the standard way to mix client images and configure dhcpd.conf to act according to client arch?
| |
| 13:21 | In https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup - I see a way to configure for ppc vs. i386, possibly I can rework the wiki page to reflect this with AMD64 also (since atom thin clients are amd64)

| 13:40 | <the_fronny> I'm having another go at the Xnest "problem" on ltsp5. For me, it certainly doesn't work, just the black window mentioned in various web posts. Just now I have been able to get an exported desktop using sabayon but it just gives the default ubuntu desktop, not the xterm clients's fluxbox desktop. How might I get this X forwarding working without an ancillary app?
| |
| 13:40 | ogra has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:40 | ogra has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:42 | <the_fronny> I have also set the Dissallow TCP stanza in /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas to False.
| |
| 13:44 | <laron> how can i view the individual client's ip address? from the server and locally on a client?
| |
| 13:46 | <Lns> laron: from the client you can log into the chroot (by lts.conf having a "SCREEN_02 = Shell")
| |
| 13:47 | <laron> ok
| |
| 13:48 | <alkisg> Here's a script which outputs the clients mac address and ip address (assumes ubuntu/nbd): http://paste.ubuntu.com/396863/
| |
| 13:49 | <Lns> alkisg: do you run multiple arch chroots?
| |
| 13:49 | <alkisg> Lns, nope
| |
| 13:49 | <Lns> darn
| |
| 13:49 | <alkisg> I don't even use dhcpd :)
| |
| 13:49 | <Lns> seems nobody does..i want to get ahead in the 64-bit client game and figure out how to run multiple chroots side by side
| |
| 13:50 | <alkisg> Lns, I don't think dhcpd can detect i386 vs amd64
| |
| 13:50 | <Lns> specially since localapps/fatclients could benefit from it
| |
| 13:50 | <alkisg> There's a new pxelinux.0 that can do that, though
| |
| 13:50 | <Lns> alkisg: i've been looking into vendor-class-options and friends for dhcpd..haven't found much
| |
| 13:50 | <alkisg> It's still alpha/beta something, but if you want to be ahead of the game, you might give it a try...
| |
| 13:50 | <Lns> oh really
| |
| 13:50 | <alkisg> Lns, an i386 will have the same nic as an amd64, afaik
| |
| 13:51 | <Lns> alkisg: oh that's just for the nic?
| |
| 13:51 | ogra has quit IRC | |
| 13:51 | <alkisg> So code is needed to be executed on the client to know if it's i386/amd64
| |
| 13:51 | So you need pxelinux.0 for that
| |
| 13:51 | <Lns> alkisg: you have any links for the new pxelinux.0 ?
| |
| 13:52 | <alkisg> No, I've read it somewhere by hpa, but I don't have the URL
| |
| 13:52 | Try his site first..
| |
| 13:52 | <Lns> ok, thx for the info
| |
| 13:53 | <alkisg> http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX
| |

| 14:11 | <laron> found this on the k12ltsp wiki: K12LTSP is considered to be LEGACY software that is usable with old hardware until CentOS5 support ends in the year 2014.
| |
| 14:11 | will any other distros be doing the same?

| 14:36 | <Lns> that would be cool too =) or .dd.gz? =p
| |
| 14:36 | <alkisg> .vmdk ==> boot the fat client image directly with vbox and install/configure whatever...

| 15:12 | <epaphus> Hello..!!! all
| |
| 15:12 | <sbalneav> Hello
| |
| 15:12 | <epaphus> In order to PXE i need to buy a supported PXE NIC and aside from that my BIOS should support it?
| |
| 15:17 | <alkisg> epaphus: or you can use gPXE
| |
| 15:17 | !gpxe
| |
| 15:17 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "gpxe" :: the successor to etherboot (http://etherboot.org). To download bootable floppy, cd, usb, kernel etc images, visit http://rom-o-matic.net/
| |
| 15:17 | <epaphus> right.. but i need true pxe
| |
| 15:17 | <alkisg> It's true pxe, it's just on a different medium
| |
| 15:18 | But yeah, other than that, you'd need nic + bios
| |
| 15:18 | (or a good nic with embedded bios)
| |
| 15:18 | Or if your nic is flashable, you could flash gpxe on it
| |
| 15:21 | <epaphus> thanks
| |
| 15:22 | What happens when I connect a USB pendrive to my thin client?
| |
| 15:22 | nothing?
| |
| 15:22 | <alkisg> When do you mean?
| |
| 15:22 | When the client is working?
| |
| 15:22 | <epaphus> Yeah.. lets see i booted using PXE...
| |
| 15:22 | and i connect a usb pen drive
| |
| 15:22 | <alkisg> If you've enabled LOCALDEVS, the user there can see the contents
| |
| 15:22 | If not, nothing happens.
| |
| 15:23 | <epaphus> where is LOCALDEVS configured?

| 19:02 | <Ahmuck> is there still a problem with sound in ltsp on client hardware? i've tried a gateway with an intergrated sound card, and it fails, and i've tried a dell with a soundblaster, and it fails
| |
| 19:02 | however, a virtualbox vm works fine
| |
| 19:05 | epaphus has quit IRC | |
| 19:10 | <johnny> Ahmuck, not generally
| |
| 19:10 | did you try it without ltsp
| |
| 19:10 | and a plain distro?
| |
| 19:10 | that would tell you that it is probably not ltsp related at all..
| |
| 19:10 | unless you have proof
| |
| 19:10 | but you should assume it is the distro's fault
| |
| 19:10 | before ltsp
| |
| 19:11 | <Ahmuck> it does work without ltsp
| |
| 19:11 | we have windows installed on the hard drives as backup
| |
| 19:11 | boot to windows, sound works
| |
| 19:12 | this is ubuntu. yes, it may be the distro's fault, as one has an intel i8xx chip for intergrated sound which i've uncovered as an issue. from reading iirc, ubuntu unloaded that chipset module from the kernel
| |
| 19:12 | however, the other machine is standard sound blaster
| |
| 19:13 | last evening for the first time, i got to see ltsp actually work correctly. however this was not on older hardware (as advertised by many ltsp zealots) but rather a less than a year old apple laptop running a vm
| |
| 19:18 | <johnny> standard soundplaster is super old
| |
| 19:18 | who knows if modern kernels still include such drivers
| |
| 19:18 | who knows if the driver is even maintained anymore..
| |
| 19:19 | Ahmuck, remember.. ltsp folks have no control over hte kernel
| |
| 19:19 | you have to take such issues up with your distro
| |
| 19:19 | if you have a hardware problem.. make sure it works in the same version of ubuntu or other distro
| |
| 19:22 | <Ahmuck> assuming that ltsp will run in 128mb ram on a client, i don't think any modern ubuntu distro will run in that
| |
| 19:22 | <johnny> i think there is some lxde spin perhaps..
| |
| 19:35 | slidesinger has joined #ltsp | |
| 19:36 | <abeehc> Ahmuck: they call it xubuntu
| |
| 19:37 | <Ahmuck> to run ltsp properly then out of box, one needs modern thin client hardware
| |
| 19:37 | <abeehc> nope
| |
| 19:38 | if you go as far as localapps, yes
| |
| 19:38 | but really it'll boot on these p3 machines i have here with 128mb ram

| 19:38 | <Ahmuck> Once installed, Xubuntu can run with starting from 192 (or even just 128) MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to have at least 256 MB RAM.
| |
| 19:38 | <abeehc> that has nothing to do with ltsp
| |
| 19:38 | it's simply a better baseline
| |
| 19:39 | than "sound works in windows"
| |
| 19:39 | <Ahmuck> *shrugs*
| |
| 19:39 | <johnny> the point is just to test the sound Ahmuck ...
| |
| 19:39 | the problem is probably not related to ltsp, but the distro kernel Ahmuck ..
| |
| 19:39 | don't blame it on ltsp until you're sure it's ltsps fault
| |
| 19:39 | <Ahmuck> yes, ubuntu ltsp channel is edubuntu, and it really has nothing to do with edubunt either :(
| |
| 19:39 | <johnny> and?
| |
| 19:40 | <Ahmuck> and it's not your fault ...
| |
| 19:40 | <johnny> there's also #ubuntu .
| |
| 19:40 | or #xubuntu
| |
| 19:40 | once you determine it is the fault of ubuntu or not
| |
| 19:42 | <abeehc> anyway there's really no problem with ltsp sound it works better than i'd like in some cases
| |
| 19:42 | and i'm using intel integrated sound
| |
| 19:43 | intel 828
| |
| 19:43 | <Ahmuck> ya, i won't bother troubleshooting it.
| |
| 19:43 | i'll just pick up some beefeir thin clients from newegg

| 22:18 | <Matthew_> having a problem with the tftp file not found on pxe boot
| |
| 22:19 | I'm an LTSP newbi
| |
| 22:19 | On ubuntu 9.10
| |
| 22:23 | <johnny> do you already have a dhcp server elsewhere on your network?
| |
| 22:23 | if so.. the proble is that you need to tell the dhcp server to point to your ltsp server
| |
| 22:24 | <Matthew_> yes. And I have.
| |
| 22:25 | <johnny> so.. you have next-server ?
| |
| 22:25 | from another computer.. you should consider installing a tftp client
| |
| 22:25 | and try fetching the file yourself
| |
| 22:25 | <Matthew_> I have pfsense router. i've enabled network booting on the router, pointed it to the ip of my ltsp server.
| |
| 22:25 | <johnny> hmm.. well.. i couldn't tell you whether it's doing the right thing or not
| |
| 22:26 | <Matthew_> tftp client... how do I tell what port my tftp server is serving on?
| |
| 22:26 | <johnny> never used pfsense
| |
| 22:26 | you don't need to know the port.. the default should work
| |
| 22:26 | <Matthew_> thanks for your willingness to help.
| |
| 22:26 | sorry, I meant IP. I have more than one NIC
| |
| 22:26 | <johnny> it should be serving on all
| |
| 22:26 | <Matthew_> okay. Thanks.
| |
| 22:26 | <johnny> i think anyways..
| |
| 22:27 | <Matthew_> I tried both IPs and got the same error
| |
| 22:27 | <johnny> same error?
| |
| 22:27 | <Matthew_> It would start the pxe boot then say tftp file not found (something similar to that)
| |
| 22:27 | the client would do that.
| |
| 22:28 | <johnny> sure.. but get a tftp client program on one of your other computers
| |
| 22:28 | <Matthew_> I seem to have everything installed correctly on my Ubuntu server
| |
| 22:28 | <johnny> and try to talk to your server
| |
| 22:28 | <Matthew_> okay.
| |
| 22:28 | <johnny> tftp <ip>
| |
| 22:28 | or whatever the program is called
| |
| 22:28 | but also..
| |
| 22:28 | do you have
| |
| 22:28 | on your server: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 ?
| |
| 22:29 | you must have that first.. :)
| |
| 22:29 | <Matthew_> yes. I do have that.
| |
| 22:30 | that's the file I should be entering into my router, right?
| |
| 22:30 | <johnny> not the full path
| |
| 22:30 | <Matthew_> ahhh!
| |
| 22:30 | <johnny> are you sure you need a path ?
| |
| 22:30 | <Matthew_> what should be entered then?
| |
| 22:30 | <johnny> nothing i don't think..
| |
| 22:30 | if pfsense uses isc dhcpd
| |
| 22:31 | <Matthew_> nothing? Just blank?
| |
| 22:31 | <johnny> then it would have next-server <serverip> in the generated config
| |
| 22:31 | is pfsense in front of your ltsp box?
| |
| 22:31 | if so.. it could just be a firewall issue
| |
| 22:32 | if not..
| |
| 22:32 | <Matthew_> both the client and the server are behind the pfsense router on the same subnet
| |
| 22:32 | <johnny> see if you can paste the generated config
| |
| 22:32 | or whatever dhcp server it is running
| |
| 22:32 | as i have no idea what maps to watch in pfsense
| |
| 22:32 | s/watch/what/
| |
| 22:33 | <Matthew_> what filename should I paste into the router config? It says I need both a filename and a server to work.
| |
| 22:33 | <johnny> i have a feeling it's talking about something different
| |
| 22:33 | but i can't tell without having an idea of what the pagel ooks like
| |
| 22:33 | can you find a screenshot?
| |
| 22:34 | /me is assuming you're talking about a web interface
| |
| 22:35 | <Matthew_> I'm looking for a screenshot. Yes, it's a web interface.

| |
| 22:36 | sbalneav, for you too.. neat huh
| |
| 22:36 | <anivair> quick question (for those that know a thing of three about networking):
| |
| 22:36 | <johnny> or 4 :)
| |
| 22:36 | i know 4 things :)

| |
| 22:36 | lol
| |
| 22:36 | who replace vagrantc with a cat
| |
| 22:37 | <anivair> I am running some network speed tests on my system. I get much faster times on my own machine than i do running the same speed test (speedtest.net) on a thin client. This happens even when they are in the exact same port on the same switch.
| |
| 22:37 | Is that normal?
| |
| 22:37 | <johnny> did you also use the same cables?
| |
| 22:37 | are the network cards the same?
| |
| 22:37 | do you mean running speedtest.net from a logged in thin client session? or from the thin client itself?
| |
| 22:38 | <anivair> the former
| |
| 22:38 | <johnny> ah
| |
| 22:38 | <anivair> froma client session
| |
| 22:38 | <johnny> so.. really it's on the server
| |
| 22:39 | <anivair> yes. but I'm wondering if the ltsp traffic on the server nic is known to slow down that sort of test
| |
| 22:39 | <johnny> so.. you did the test while the logged in users were active at all? or not?
| |
| 22:39 | logged in client users*
| |
| 22:39 | <anivair> not. this is the only thin client on the network
| |
| 22:40 | <johnny> well.. try running it locally on the server .. while the thin client session is active
| |
| 22:40 | make sure your results aren't poisoned
| |
| 22:40 | daya has joined #ltsp | |
| 22:40 | <johnny> seems likely that it has nothing to do with ltsp
| |
| 22:40 | just that your network is generally active while you're on the client..
| |
| 22:40 | <anivair> thanks

| 22:49 | <Matthew_> johnny: I figured out my problem. thanks for putting me on the right track.
| |
| 22:49 | It was the filename that I had wrong.
| |
| 22:49 | It needed to be just "ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0" instead of the full path.
| |
| 22:50 | <johnny> there ya go
| |
| 22:50 | good going
| |
| 22:50 | enjoy
| |
| 22:51 | <Matthew_> It's pretty sweet!
| |
| 22:52 | I'm running a laptop as a client, but the server has 8 GB of RAM. Seems to be working great.
