| 08:04 | <reynolds> can anyone help me with my ubuntu upgrade? My clients wont boot
| |
| 08:06 | <alkisg> Did you create a new chroot?
| |
| 08:06 | (I assume you mean os upgrade, right?)
| |
| 08:06 | <reynolds> no do I need to?
| |
| 08:06 | I updated the chroot, and rebiult
| |
| 08:07 | <alkisg> Yes, you usually need to build a new chroot with ltsp-build-client
| |
| 08:08 | <reynolds> I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4 on the server, updated the chroot, and rebuilt mu i385 image with the updates. I am getting error PXE-T02, and PXE-E3C
| |
| 08:10 | so "sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386"
| |
| 08:11 | <alkisg> Wait
| |
| 08:11 | The PXE error is a different thing
| |
| 08:11 | Running ltsp-build-client after an os update is the normal way to go, but your pxe problem is not related
| |
| 08:11 | What's the full error message?
| |
| 08:12 | <reynolds> I also tried this fix http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466911
| |
| 08:12 | <alkisg> Does it get an IP and die at the tftp stage?
| |
| 08:14 | <reynolds> yes it gets an ip, Then the errors say PXE-T02 : Forbidden directory, and PXE-E3C:TFTP error access violation
| |
| 08:16 | <alkisg> OK, it's tftp related then
| |
| 08:16 | Paste your /etc/default/tftpd-hpa to pastebot
| |
| 08:16 | !pastebot
| |

| |
| 08:19 | <reynolds> do you want me to paste that? Its kinda hard cause its the boot screen on my client
| |
| 08:19 | oh i see sorry
| |
| 08:21 | http://ltsp.pastebin.com/T7GA6B4T
| |
| 08:22 | <frederickjh> Hi guys! If I add a file to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11 I need to rebuilt the client for them to see the file. Is that right?
| |
| 08:22 | <alkisg> It looks OK. Is tftp started? run: sudo status tftpd-hpa
| |
| 08:23 | frederickjh: in ubuntu (using nbd)? yeah..
| |
| 08:23 | ltsp-update-image
| |
| 08:23 | <frederickjh> Thanks alkisg. yes ubuntu

| 08:54 | <frederickjh> Any one here ever used the XRandR parameters in lts.conf to set the size of a monitor?
| |
| 08:55 | I have a monitor that is coming up unknown and at a lower resolution than it can display. I want to bump it up to a higher resolution.
| |
| 08:56 | I have used the xrandr comands on the client in a terminal and there it works but when I add the same commands to the lts.conf in the section for that client I get no change.
| |
| 08:56 | wsuetholz has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:57 | <alkisg> !lts.conf
| |
| 08:57 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "lts.conf" :: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
| |
| 08:57 | <alkisg> Did you try XRANDR_MODE_0 from there?
| |
| 08:57 | <frederickjh> in the lts.conf? yes
| |
| 08:57 | Fionnz has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:58 | yanu_ has quit IRC | |
| 08:59 | <frederickjh> My question is what is the string part? that is not listed. Is that the same string as when you run xrandr on the command line?
| |
| 08:59 | <alkisg> No it's just a resolution
| |
| 08:59 | XRANDR_MODE_0=1024x768
| |
| 08:59 | <frederickjh> XRANDR_NEWMODE_0="1024x768" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync
| |
| 09:00 | So can I just use that line?
| |
| 09:01 | 0 being the first display?
| |
| 09:01 | <alkisg> So you need to set a new mode? It isn't there if you just use xrandr on the client?
| |
| 09:01 | <frederickjh> Right now when the client comes up it is 800x600.
| |
| 09:02 | <Fionnz> Hello! I have a gbit network problem in my classroom for disabled children. Using Edubuntu 10.04/ltsp-server-standalone: Server connected to a 1GBits switch port. Clients to 10/100 ports. Firstly it is really fast but the it gets stuck while loading the kernel and the max. upload rate from the Server is about 20 to 250 KBits :( anyone ahve an idea? need more infos? ethtool and mii-tool seems to be 1Gbits...
| |
| 09:02 | <frederickjh> I want 1024x768.
| |
| 09:02 | <alkisg> frederickjh: ok, if you boot the client normally, and just run xrandr on a gnome-terminal, do you see the 1024x768 resolution?
| |
| 09:02 | <frederickjh> nope
| |
| 09:03 | I can add it and switch to it.
| |
| 09:03 | but when I logout it disapears.
| |
| 09:03 | So, I thought I could make it permanent in lts.conf
| |
| 09:03 | Ubuntu see the monitor as unknown.
| |
| 09:03 | <alkisg> X_HORZSYNC=30.0-88.0
| |
| 09:03 | X_VERTREFRESH=50.0-70.0
| |
| 09:04 | <frederickjh> I need those lines?
| |
| 09:04 | <alkisg> frederickjh: try putting those in lts.conf, *without* specifying any XRANDR_MODE_0 or anything else
| |
| 09:04 | <frederickjh> Ok, will do.
| |
| 09:04 | <alkisg> If I'm right, it'll start in 1024x768 automatically after that
| |
| 09:10 | Gadi has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:11 | <Fionnz> sorry for interrupting! nobody any hints or ideas?
| |
| 09:11 | if i download or upload any thing to a win share speed works fine. Only while the tftp boot the network hangs...
| |
| 09:13 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
| 09:14 | <frederickjh> alkisg that did not work. The client is this one http://www.disklessworkstations.com/200118.html
| |
| 09:14 | It has a vga and a dvi output. I am using the vga.
| |
| 09:15 | Fionnz it could be the switch. Faulty or flaky switches are a bad thing in at LTSP environment. Booting is the hardest on them.
| |
| 09:16 | Fionnz, I would also check to see if QOS is turned on, if it is a managed switch, and turn it off.
| |
| 09:17 | <Gadi> frederickjh: add: X_OPTION_01 = "\"ActiveDevice\" \"CRT\""
| |
| 09:17 | Fionnz has quit IRC | |
| 09:22 | <frederickjh> Ok Gadi will try
| |
| 09:23 | Do I need all that space before the =?
| |
| 09:23 | mordocai has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:24 | <frederickjh> Gadi is that in addition to the lines from alkisg above or by itself?
| |
| 09:24 | <mordocai> Is there a way for an ltsp server to reboot all it's currently connected terminals at once?
| |
| 09:25 | <Gadi> frederickjh: try with just that line first, and if it doesn't work, try setting the BIOS to only use the CRT outputs
| |
| 09:25 | *output
| |
| 09:26 | * Gadi was just talking to an openchrome driver dev about this yesterday (assuming it is the same bug) | |

| 09:42 | Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC | |
| 09:45 | <frederickjh> Well, Gadi I tried it with that line and then set the bios to crt for the boot display but none of it worked.
| |
| 09:45 | komunista has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:46 | <frederickjh> Fionnz have you tried replacing the switch to see if that is the problem?
| |
| 09:46 | vbundi has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:46 | <frederickjh> I had a couple of bad switches and pretty much the same problem till I trashed them.
| |
| 09:47 | <Gadi> frederickjh: sounds like your monitor is not responding to ddc. add the two lines that alkisg suggested in addition to the above:
| |
| 09:48 | [07:02] [alkisg] X_HORZSYNC=30.0-88.0
| |
| 09:48 | [07:02] [alkisg] X_VERTREFRESH=50.0-70.0
| |
| 09:48 | <frederickjh> ok
| |
| 09:48 | will try it out.

| 09:50 | CAN-o-SPAM has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:54 | <frederickjh> Well I have all three lines and no change. Still comes up 800x600.
| |
| 09:55 | The interesting thing is Gadi that I have another client that is exactly the same machine with a different monitor and it comes up ok. So, the problem must be with the monitor.
| |
| 09:55 | <mordocai> So... is there an easy way to reboot all terminal machines from the ltsp server? I'm wanting to be able to reboot them the morning after every time i change something on the client.
| |
| 09:55 | <frederickjh> Maybe I need to make a xorg.conf and add a line for that cilent in lts.conf.
| |
| 09:56 | <Gadi> frederickjh: can you post the Xorg log file from that client?
| |
| 09:56 | (the Xorg log file tells all)
| |
| 09:56 | <frederickjh> you mean from the clients
| |
| 09:57 | <Gadi> right
| |
| 09:57 | <frederickjh> As far as I can tell there is not one.
| |
| 09:57 | <Gadi> sure there is
| |
| 09:57 | you need to get a shell on the client
| |
| 09:57 | so, set: SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm
| |
| 09:57 | <frederickjh> I looked in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11 on the server and I did not find one.
| |
| 09:58 | <Gadi> that's the build directory
| |
| 09:58 | not the runtime directory
| |
| 09:58 | <frederickjh> I have the SCREEN settings set already.
| |
| 09:58 | <Gadi> so, on the client, go to a shell
| |
| 09:58 | <frederickjh> Ok, so a shell on the client.
| |
| 09:58 | yanu has quit IRC | |
| 09:58 | <Gadi> there will be a /var/log/Xorg*log
| |
| 09:58 | <frederickjh> then /etc/X11
| |
| 09:58 | ok
| |
| 09:58 | <Gadi> no no - the *log*
| |
| 09:58 | <frederickjh> ok
| |
| 09:59 | and that is the config file?
| |
| 09:59 | <Gadi> then, you can: scp /var/log/Xorg*log user@server:
| |
| 09:59 | and pastebin it
| |
| 09:59 | thats not the config - it is the *log*
| |
| 09:59 | :)

| 10:02 | <treyhunsucker> what is your guy's opinion on Lucid + LTSP
| |
| 10:06 | <johnny> Gadi, lol
| |
| 10:06 | treyhunsucker, lots of people run it.. that's all i know
| |
| 10:06 | i run the equivalent of the lucid ltsp packages i think.. via stgraber's ppa
| |
| 10:06 | i'm ugrading to lucid sometime in the next week
| |

| |
| 10:09 | johnny: do you run ubuntu server or desktop edition on your installs?
| |
| 10:09 | <johnny> install* :)
| |
| 10:09 | not installs
| |
| 10:09 | desktop, because it is used as a desktop machine as well
| |
| 10:09 | <treyhunsucker> actually should be intall(s) :P
| |
| 10:09 | cool same here
| |
| 10:10 | <johnny> our point of sale software runs on the same machine
| |
| 10:10 | we only have 3 clients tho.. so it's not a big load on the machine
| |

| |
| 10:12 | <frederickjh> Ok Gadi. here is the log http://ltsp.pastebin.com/iK1bt67T
| |
| 10:15 | <Fionnz> frederickjh this is the tcpdump while booting
| |
| 10:15 | profesor@ltspserver:~$ sudo tcpdump -s 1500 -ni eth0 port 68 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 1500 bytes 10:21:07.660903 IP 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 08:00:27:0d:f2:8c, length 548 10:21:07.661411 IP 192.168.1.254.67 > 255.255.255.255.68: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 321 10:21:09.658775 IP 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: BOOTP/DHCP,
| |
| 10:17 | <Gadi> frederickjh: first off - sorry, I thought it was a VIA chipset - seems it is intel - so, you can take out the X_OPTION_01 line
| |
| 10:17 | <frederickjh> ok.
| |
| 10:18 | It is a client from disklessworkstations.com see above for a link to the client specs.
| |
| 10:18 | <Gadi> frederickjh: 2. I don't think your lts.conf params are making it - can you do: getltscfg -a|grep X_HORZSYNC at the shell
| |
| 10:18 | lfaraone has left #ltsp | |
| 10:18 | <frederickjh> on the client?
| |
| 10:18 | <sbalneav> Morning all
| |
| 10:18 | <Gadi> frederickjh: yeah
| |
| 10:18 | <frederickjh> ok
| |
| 10:19 | <Gadi> frederickjh: the monitor is clearly not giving up its frequencies and the log doesn't say that you specified any
| |
| 10:19 | <Fionnz> no this is the correct one: its on port 69
| |
| 10:19 | http://ltsp.pastebin.com/ChrtqLzW
| |
| 10:26 | <frederickjh> Ok Gadi it returns three lines X_HORZSYNC="30.0-88.0" export X_HORZSYNC
| |
| 10:26 | and it tells me that there is an error on line 60 of lts.conf but it is only 59 lines long.
| |
| 10:26 | <Gadi> ah!
| |
| 10:26 | hmm...
| |
| 10:27 | <frederickjh> I think I saw that before when the file was shorter too.
| |
| 10:27 | <Gadi> take a look in /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf
| |
| 10:27 | alkisg has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:27 | <Gadi> on the client
| |
| 10:27 | and see if the params made it
| |
| 10:27 | <frederickjh> ok
| |
| 10:28 | * Gadi wonders if whatever editor you are using to edit lts.conf is leaving it in a bad way | |
| 10:30 | <frederickjh> gedit
| |
| 10:31 | <Gadi> are there params in /var/log/ltsp-xorg.conf?
| |
| 10:32 | <frederickjh> http://ltsp.pastebin.com/jpk3QtF8
| |
| 10:32 | Looks like
| |
| 10:33 | <Gadi> well, that's bad
| |
| 10:33 | hehe
| |
| 10:33 | hmm...
| |
| 10:33 | I think you may have found a scripting bug
| |
| 10:33 | one sec
| |
| 10:34 | <frederickjh> ok, Gadi
| |
| 10:35 | <alkisg> sbalneav: I'm starting a shell script from /etc/xdg/autostart and I'd like it to die when the session ends. It never receives a SIGTERM though - I suppose it's supposed to register itself to gnome-session, but being a script, it can't. Any ideas on how to (properly) terminate it a logoff?
| |
| 10:35 | Or, maybe putting it in the ldm scripts would help?
| |
| 10:36 | <sbalneav> alkisg: Well..... (thinks).
| |
| 10:36 | <Fionnz> i found the following while tcpdump: sudo tcpdump -ni eth0 -v -T tftp 'udp'
| |
| 10:36 | <sbalneav> alkisg: Is this running on the server or the thin client itself?

| |
| 10:37 | <Fionnz> somebody know what todo? seems that the loader cant find any pxe files!?
| |
| 10:38 | <treyhunsucker> Fionnz: what is your error while booting?
| |
| 10:39 | <sbalneav> alkisg: wonder if you could use a (possibly slightly modified) version of my xatom program.
| |
| 10:39 | sit and idle, when you get an X error because the X session's ended, then terminate the script.
| |
| 10:39 | <alkisg> sbalneav: as a monitor? So that when it dies (X programs die at logoff), it also kills the script?
| |
| 10:40 | <Gadi> frederickjh: under the chroot dir (/opt/ltsp/i386) rename this file: /usr/share/ltsp/screen-session.d/XS20-xserver-intel-desktop-hack to XS85-xserver-intel-desktop-hack
| |
| 10:40 | <sbalneav> right.
| |
| 10:40 | <alkisg> Got it
| |
| 10:40 | <Gadi> frederickjh: then run ltsp-update-image
| |
| 10:40 | <frederickjh> Gadi I will be back in a bit (supper). I will try after that.
| |
| 10:40 | <alkisg> Thanks sbalneav - I wonder why it's so hard though... maybe consolekit could help there
| |
| 10:40 | <sbalneav> alkisg: Might be a useful utility for us to code up:
| |
| 10:40 | "xsessionterminate" or the like.
| |
| 10:41 | pass it a sequence of process id's to watch on the command line.
| |
| 10:41 | <alkisg> yeah, like gnome-watchdog does now. I think it'd be useful...
| |
| 10:41 | <sbalneav> ok
| |
| 10:41 | I'll code something up today.

| |
| 10:44 | <icullen> Can anyone help me with LTSP in a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. I can't boot clients - it says "Error: failed to connect to NBD server" then dumps the client to a busybox shell. 9.10 worked OK out the box.
| |
| 10:45 | <johnny> you broke it..
| |
| 10:45 | /me doesn't really know about a fresh install .. is going to do an upgrade
| |
| 10:45 | <Gadi> icullen: you ran ltsp-build-client?
| |
| 10:46 | <treyhunsucker> Fionnz: what are the specs for your server
| |
| 10:47 | <icullen> i installed 10.04 using the alternate CD, selected "install an LTSP server" at the startup screen. I haven't run any commands on the server, 9.10 just worked without any further configuration
| |
| 10:48 | <treyhunsucker> icullen: is it the dhcp server?
| |
| 10:49 | <icullen> no, i've uninstalled dhcp3-server and we are using windows 2003 dhcp to boot the client. same configuration as we had under 9.10
| |
| 10:49 | <Gadi> icullen: try running: ltsp-update-image --arch i386

| 11:17 | some logs! this could be the error: 19 ERROR ENOTFOUND "File not found"
| |
| 11:17 | but why?
| |
| 11:22 | <Gadi> Fionnz: those errors are prefectly normal - pxelinux looks for a bunch of configuration files in pxelinux.cfg/ and uses the first one it finds that matches the client - when it does not find them, youget that error and it moves on to look for the next one
| |
| 11:23 | <treyhunsucker> Fionnz: so you tried a new switch and that is when the errors started?
| |
| 11:23 | <Gadi> the only weird thing in your paste is that your client aborted its first attempt to d/l pxelinux.0

| |
| 12:02 | I am back and was able to get it all done.
| |
| 12:02 | I think we are headed in the right direction Gadi.
| |
| 12:02 | However now the monitor is saying out of range.
| |
| 12:03 | <alkisg> frederickjh: what happened with the X_HORZSYNC/X_VERTREFRESH ?
| |
| 12:03 | <frederickjh> Anyone know the new key combination to change monitor modes? It use to be Ctrl-Alt and the numpad + or - keys
| |
| 12:03 | I think it is still in there.
| |
| 12:03 | Let me check.
| |
| 12:04 | yah it was still in there and the X_OPTION_01="\"ActiveDevice\" \"CRT\"" line too.
| |
| 12:04 | I think Gadi said to take that one out.
| |
| 12:05 | <alkisg> frederickjh: so, you didn't get the 1024x768 resolution with that?
| |
| 12:05 | Or did you get out of range?
| |
| 12:05 | <frederickjh> out of range.
| |
| 12:05 | <alkisg> OK, try to lower X_VERTREFRESH then
| |
| 12:05 | Put it up to 60.0 instead of 70.0
| |
| 12:06 | <frederickjh> ok will try
| |
| 12:11 | ok, I put it up to 60 and got rid of the X_OPTION_01 line too, but it is still saying out of range.
| |
| 12:13 | Kicer86 has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:14 | <frederickjh> Is there a way I can set it to 1024 by 768 pixels alksig or Gadi, as that is the highest resolution the monitor can do.
| |
| 12:14 | <alkisg> Can you paste what you currently have in lts.conf?

| |
| 12:23 | Usuario563 has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:24 | <mordocai> So... never got an answer so i'll ask again (sorry if i'm annoying). Is there a way from the LTSP server to cause all clients to reboot?]
| |
| 12:24 | Usuario563 has quit IRC | |
| 12:24 | <frederickjh> Ok, finally sucess. Login screen came up at 1024x768. After login the screen was 800x600 but now could be changes under System>Display.
| |
| 12:25 | mordocai all at the same time?
| |
| 12:25 | <mordocai> frederickjh: Yeah. In case i just did a kernel update on the client or something like that.
| |
| 12:25 | <frederickjh> On my system if you make a new client image and a user logs out then it goes for the reboot.
| |
| 12:25 | <mordocai> Well, i'm using NFS
| |
| 12:26 | So i don't really make a new image
| |
| 12:26 | <alkisg> frederickjh: ok, then the horizontal/vertical values need some tweaking, so that you can remove XRANDR_MODE_0. Can you paste the output of `xrandr`?
| |
| 12:26 | <frederickjh> from the client?
| |
| 12:26 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 12:26 | <frederickjh> mordocai try Italc
| |
| 12:28 | <vbundi> I tried iTalc and while I think it's awesome, it seemed a little slow, I would think it would be unusable in 30+ terminal environments, maybe something is up with my configuration
| |
| 12:28 | maybe because I'm running 1280x1024 sessions
| |
| 12:29 | <mordocai> frederickjh: Hmm... looks interesting. However, we would have no use for the other features. I'm at a college and trying to configure all our kiosks with LTSP. Currently still in the "test phase" (politics and stuff to get through) but we have our kiosks spread throughout the entire campus and it'd be a pain to go reboot them manually. Though, i'm not sure at what "layer" our existing system for restarts is... maybe it works lower
| |
| 12:30 | <frederickjh> http://ltsp.pastebin.com/2WcHK6nA here it is alkisg

| |
| 12:31 | ogra_cmpc has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:31 | <mordocai> frederickjh: red hat enterprise. Playing with beta 6 rightn ow
| |
| 12:31 | right now*
| |
| 12:32 | <frederickjh> ok using ubuntu here.
| |
| 12:32 | <alkisg> frederickjh: what card is this? ati? It ignores horzsync... So anyway leave XRANDR_MODE_0 as it is, and be careful not to choose a larger mode.
| |
| 12:32 | <mordocai> Yeah, i prefer Debian(use it at home), but my higher ups wanted redhat
| |
| 12:33 | <frederickjh> alkisg the client is this one http://www.disklessworkstations.com/200118.html look under the specs tab for the video card specs
| |
| 12:34 | <alkisg> Intel? I wonder why it ignores it then... anyway
| |
| 12:34 | <frederickjh> abeehc you have that reboot not working too?
| |
| 12:34 | <abeehc> not sure what you mean
| |
| 12:34 | i'm able to reboot all my clients as neccesary
| |
| 12:35 | <frederickjh> I notice that on my clients that if I power down no problems but tell them to reboot and they give a bunch of SQUASHFS errors and never do reboot.
| |
| 12:35 | <abeehc> i have that problem too yeah
| |
| 12:35 | <alkisg> Which ubuntu versions?
| |
| 12:35 | <abeehc> annnoying
| |
| 12:35 | 9.04
| |
| 12:35 | <alkisg> Yeah an update is needed to use reboot -fp instead of plain reboot.
| |
| 12:35 | (or manual patching of the script)
| |
| 12:35 | <abeehc> frederickjh: http://kb.yarmakconsulting.com/2008/01/rebooting-linux-without-reboot-command.html
| |
| 12:36 | i have 9.10 just testing, going to take the 9.04 server out soon enough
| |
| 12:36 | 9.10 with the ppa
| |
| 12:37 | <frederickjh> I am on ubuntu 9.10
| |
| 12:37 | alkisg what update?
| |
| 12:39 | <alkisg> ldm-trunk/rc.d/I01-nbd-checkupdate: reboot -fp
| |
| 12:39 | ldm-trunk/rc.d/X99-zzz-logout-action: reboot -fp
| |
| 12:39 | ldm-trunk/gtkgreet/greeter.c: g_spawn_command_line_async("/sbin/reboot -fp", error);
| |
| 12:39 | ltsp-trunk/client/screen-session.d/XS00-halt-reboot: exec reboot -fp
| |
| 12:39 | In some of those lines, in previous ltsp versions, the -fp was missing
| |
| 12:39 | And that's what's causing the squashfs errors
| |
| 12:40 | Using an updated ltsp version (e.g. from stgraber's ppa) would fix the problem...
| |
| 12:40 | !stgraber-ppa
| |
| 12:40 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "stgraber-ppa" :: https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+archive/ppa
| |
| 12:40 | <frederickjh> ok
| |
| 12:40 | But it should be in the new ltsp some time soon?
| |
| 12:41 | <abeehc> yeah it works well with the ppa
| |
| 12:41 | i think i was even able to reboot my service and clients survived
| |
| 12:41 | <frederickjh> It is not a big deal to me. I have a hand full of clients.
| |
| 12:41 | <abeehc> maybe i was on drugs that day though not certain
| |
| 12:42 | <frederickjh> Interesting on Ubuntu the system policy will not let me reboot if other users are logged in unless I give my password.
| |
| 12:42 | <alkisg> That's consolekit & policykit

| 13:53 | komunista has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:55 | <reynolds> Does anyone know how I can figure out what is stressing my server CPU? Since I have updated my server to ubuntu 10.4 programs on my clients are maxing out my cpu.
| |
| 13:58 | <frederickjh> top?
| |
| 13:59 | <highvoltage> reynolds: I usually install htop and keep one eye on it
| |
| 13:59 | <frederickjh> The other thing you can do is turn off data encryption if not needed.
| |
| 13:59 | add this to lts.conf
| |
| 13:59 | # Used to allow unencrypted traffic and cut down on CPU usage
| |
| 13:59 | LDM_DIRECTX=True
| |
| 14:00 | <reynolds> frederickjh: how do I turn of encryption. Is that with lts.conf?
| |
| 14:00 | <frederickjh> It is the configuration file for ltsp
| |
| 14:00 | get me get the location.
| |
| 14:00 | The other thing with the new ubuntu's and ltsp is the run away ica processes.
| |
| 14:01 | I will have no one logged on and go to 100%. I run killall ica and the cpu usage goes back to normal.
| |
| 14:02 | lts.conf is located in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
| |
| 14:02 | You will need super user permissions to edit it.
| |
| 14:03 | Add the line above under the [Default] section so that it applies to all clients.
| |
| 14:03 | This will be at the beginning.
| |
| 14:05 | <reynolds> I already have encryption turned off it seems?
| |
| 14:05 | <frederickjh> See here reynolds for more info on lts.conf https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/LTS_PARAMETERS.TXT
| |
| 14:05 | Ok,
| |
| 14:05 | <reynolds> thanks
| |
| 14:05 | <frederickjh> If you type top in a terminal what process is taking up the cpu?
| |
| 14:08 | <reynolds> got it I have a user that says it is running but it is logged out. How can I logoff a user from the command line?
| |
| 14:10 | <frederickjh> I think that if you man kill or man kill all there is a way to kill all process that belong to a user.
| |
| 14:10 | There is a guy that has a watchdog that will do this for you.
| |
| 14:11 | The watch dog program sit around waiting for the user to exit and if their processes do not end shortly there after it kills them.
| |
| 14:11 | I can dig up a link if you are interested, reynolds.
| |
| 14:12 | <alkisg> frederickjh: for the 100% cpu usage disable vino-server
| |
| 14:14 | <frederickjh> reynolds I googled and found
| |
| 14:14 | killall -u username It will kill all the process owned by a username.
| |
| 14:14 | <reynolds> I have watchdog installed By I think with the upgrade it got a little messed up
| |
| 14:14 | <frederickjh> how alkisg?
| |
| 14:14 | <alkisg> frederickjh: system > preferences > remote desktop or something like that > disable
| |
| 14:14 | <frederickjh> thxs
| |
| 14:15 | <alkisg> That's a per-user setting
| |
| 14:15 | <frederickjh> It is off.
| |
| 14:15 | <alkisg> ps -ef|grep vino => does that say anything?
| |
| 14:16 | <frederickjh> alkisg I think what is happening is that the ica process hang around from the last session and clog up the works.
| |
| 14:16 | ps -ef|grep vino
| |
| 14:16 | 1000 11959 2920 0 21:15 pts/5 00:00:00 grep vino
| |
| 14:16 | only the grep
| |
| 14:17 | <alkisg> Do you have 100% cpu usage now? And, what does `ps -ef | grep ica` give?
| |
| 14:18 | ica-launcher kills any previous processes laying around, so the last session shouldn't affect it...
| |
| 14:18 | <reynolds> thanks Frederickjh
| |
| 14:20 | <frederickjh> No not now. Not every time but fairly often when the server boots it goes to 100% cpu. Running killall ica takes care of the problem.
| |
| 14:21 | <sbalneav> alkisg: do a bzr update: found a bug.
| |
| 14:21 | wsuetholz has quit IRC | |
| 14:22 | <frederickjh> alkisg that is a very inefficient way to search for a process. Try using the -C option like this ps -C ica
| |
| 14:22 | <sbalneav> alkisg: So, if you had one script that called a run-parts on a "session-cleanup.d" directory... You'd have a nice general cleanup idea goin' on
| |
| 14:22 | <frederickjh> You way turned up 18 processes when there were only 2 ica running.
| |
| 14:23 | reynolds has quit IRC | |
| 14:23 | <alkisg> frederickjh: I do so in scripts, but I forget the switch when I just type commands at the prompt. Anyway I'm sure my hands are slower that a grep so I don't mind :)
| |
| 14:23 | <frederickjh> I think that the -C option works in scripts too. I think I have used it.
| |
| 14:24 | <alkisg> I have, it works fine
| |
| 14:24 | sbalneav: thanks, pulling...
| |
| 14:24 | <sbalneav> just tested a logout, works peachy-keeno.
| |
| 14:24 | I'll maybe clean up the code a bit tonight, but it's workable now.

| 14:26 | <alkisg> sbalneav: with that (and also by replacing `reboot -fp` to plain `reboot`) I think I have the whole "remote command execution" backend ready, with just a sh + xexit per session == minimal RAM.
| |
| 14:27 | I can already get client screenshots, boot, reboot them etc - I hope I'll refine it enough soon
| |
| 14:27 | ...so that it can then be internationalized
| |
| 14:27 | <frederickjh> alkisg I believe I saw somewhere that someone said it had to do with the Startup Applications Option to Automatically remember running applications when logging out. I think that the story was stuff got started twice and the next time even more.

| |
| 14:30 | <alkisg> file a bug if you can reproduce it
| |
| 14:30 | <sbalneav> Definitely shouldn't be sucking up much in the way of CPU
| |

| |
| 14:31 | <alkisg> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/italc/+filebug
| |
| 14:31 | <frederickjh> Something like log the number of running ica process during a number of reboots?
| |
| 14:31 | <alkisg> Post the required steps to reproduce it
| |
| 14:31 | <frederickjh> and the CPU usage.
| |
| 14:32 | I just might do that as it is quite annoying.
| |
| 14:32 | <alkisg> Do you have the "remember session" option enabled?
| |
| 14:32 | <frederickjh> Yes

| |
| 14:35 | <alkisg> You gnome upstream guys should take care of such stuff :P
| |
| 14:35 | <johnny> does anybody here use evo? and also notice that if you get to the unread message the mark message as read after X seconds doesn't fire ?
| |
| 14:36 | <sbalneav> alkisg: Hush, you.
| |
| 14:36 | <johnny> in 2.30 that is..
| |
| 14:36 | <alkisg> johnny: 2.30? where's that?
| |
| 14:36 | <johnny> get to the unread message before the page is rendered
| |
| 14:36 | <alkisg> I got 2.28 in Lucid...
| |
| 14:36 | <johnny> that doesn't make sense..
| |
| 14:36 | you should have gotten the entire gnome 2.30 stack
| |
| 14:37 | <alkisg> (10:35:59 μμ) ubottu: evolution (source: evolution): groupware suite with mail client and organizer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.28.3-0ubuntu9 (lucid), package size 2370 kB, installed size 7020 kB
| |
| 14:37 | <johnny> evo 2.30 was actually branched halfway through 2.27 for 2.30
| |
| 14:37 | well.. blame ubuntu i guess
| |
| 14:37 | 2.30 has imap idle finally
| |
| 14:37 | <alkisg> ..and a lot of broken stuff, it seems :)
| |
| 14:38 | Message marking works fine here
| |
| 14:38 | <johnny> not alot.. just a slight timer annoyance
| |
| 14:38 | no.. it's if you get to the message before the whole list of messages is rendered
| |
| 14:38 | the the timer doesn't start to mark it as read after X seconds
| |
| 14:38 | so.. i have to click off it, and then back on
| |
| 14:39 | i'm very suprised ubuntu shipped 2.28
| |
| 14:39 | since 2.29 was branched halfway through 2.27
| |
| 14:39 | <alkisg> Ah. I can't do it that fast - I don't use imap so it's rendered instantly
| |
| 14:39 | <johnny> so they could start debonoboifying
| |
| 14:41 | <sbalneav> I have to debonofy sabayon...
| |
| 14:43 | wait
| |
| 14:43 | debonobofy
| |
| 14:43 | I could debonofy U2
| |
| 14:49 | <johnny> lol
| |
| 14:50 | but seriously.. why would somebody ship an un imap idle enabled evolution
| |
| 14:50 | i hope they plan on upgrading it later
| |
| 14:50 | btw.. ted ts'o really poked hard at canonical for not hiring their own engineers

| |
| 15:02 | Ah, I'd need it for fat clients as well, so it won't do me any good in either ltsp-server nor in ltsp-client-core

| 15:42 | <treyhunsucker> is there a special way to update the chroot in lucid?
| |
| 15:44 | <vbundi> you mean to update your software?
| |
| 15:44 | like apt-get update apt-get dist-upgarde?
| |
| 15:45 | I've just been doing 'sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/ARCH apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
| |
| 15:46 | <treyhunsucker> vbundi: yup
| |
| 15:46 | <vbundi> yeah I dunno if there is a special command to do that is shorter
| |
| 15:47 | <treyhunsucker> vbundi: you haven't been using the process that was used for 9.10 and 9.04
| |
| 15:47 | <vbundi> yeah the ltsp system I am replacing is 4.2
| |
| 15:47 | so I figured I'd skip right to lucid ;)
| |
| 15:48 | <treyhunsucker> lol
| |
| 15:48 | ralth has quit IRC | |
| 15:48 | <treyhunsucker> vbundi: i think there is a more complicated method to update it
| |
| 15:48 | <vbundi> treyhunsucker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UpdatingChroot
| |
| 15:48 | <treyhunsucker> more of the properway
| |
| 15:48 | yes i have that link
| |
| 15:48 | but does it still apply
| |
| 15:48 | read the bottom paragraph
| |
| 15:48 | <vbundi> check out the script at the bottom
| |
| 15:48 | ya
| |
| 15:48 | <treyhunsucker> i mean the top line
| |
| 15:49 | Built in to Ubuntu 10.04 Ubuntu 10.04 already has the ability to provide recommended updates by default. The rest of the instructions on this page are not necessary.
| |
| 15:49 | <vbundi> oh well
| |
| 15:49 | I suppose I need to read a little better... it sort of DOES imply there is a special command for lucid
| |
| 15:50 | something like ltsp-upgrade-image --arch
| |
| 15:50 | that would make sense to me

| |
| 15:54 | there's an option to do that now
| |
| 15:54 | alkisg knows about it
| |
| 15:54 | but if you wanna test follow symlinks, read the docs for sshfs
| |
| 15:54 | man sshfs
| |
| 15:55 | and try mounting a directory on your own server that contains a symlink
| |
| 15:55 | that's how you'll know

| |
| 16:00 | * Gadi sidesteps another race condition | |
| 16:02 | ralth has quit IRC | |
| 16:03 | <Gadi> out of curiosity - any of you folks see a difference playing flash content on AMD processors versus Intel?
| |
| 16:04 | <vbundi> nope
| |
| 16:06 | <treyhunsucker> rmainard: have you tried using a different video settings?
| |
| 16:06 | <vbundi> user perceivable difference that is..
| |
| 16:06 | <treyhunsucker> Gadi: the biggest problem with that question is that most people don't have both that are the same speed
| |
| 16:07 | gadi: so it ends up being what machine i'm running it on......but most of my text boxes run xeon so my answer will be intel :)
| |
| 16:07 | <vbundi> treyhunsucker: yeah, the question might as well be... Do you notice a difference driving to work between a Sunfire or a Cavalier
| |
| 16:07 | alexqwesa has quit IRC | |

| 16:10 | <treyhunsucker> rmainard: how long have you had this system?
| |
| 16:10 | <Gadi> vbundi: I only ask bec I was talking with an openchrome dev yesterday - comparing a via-cpu-based system with an intel-atom-based system vis-a-vis running local flash content and it is noght and day
| |
| 16:10 | he showed me a link that described how adobe uses an intel optimizer to optimize flash for intel cpus
| |
| 16:10 | at the detrement to other cpus
| |
| 16:10 | <treyhunsucker> Gadi: let me guess intel killed via correct?
| |
| 16:10 | Gadi: yup yup
| |
| 16:11 | Gadi: you see the notice that IE9 is also trying to push adobe flash out the door
| |
| 16:11 | <Gadi> this would suggest that it is not the graphics card but the cpu
| |
| 16:11 | vis-a-vis flash
| |
| 16:11 | <rmainard> treyhunsucker: I've been testing and re-building this cluster for quite a while now and this is the first day on this installation.
| |
| 16:11 | <treyhunsucker> i'm all for html5
| |
| 16:11 | <Gadi> evidently flash is almost 100% software rendered
| |
| 16:12 | <treyhunsucker> rmainard: ok just curious why you used 8.04 lts instead of 10.04 lts or 9.10
| |
| 16:12 | <vbundi> Gadi: yeah I don't know if you remember, but I had VIA systems that took 5 minutes just to boot ubuntu 9.10 terminal sessions
| |
| 16:12 | <Gadi> vbundi: well, thats a different issue
| |
| 16:13 | <vbundi> Gadi: pretty much but the point is the same... the software is not designed to utilize certain features (if they exist) in that processor
| |
| 16:13 | <Gadi> vbundi: I am just isolating the performance of flash - the theory holds up because rendering other 2d seems to not be as bad
| |
| 16:13 | vbundi: ah I see what u mean
| |
| 16:13 | <vbundi> Gadi: now in AMD and Intel's case... they have SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.x, AMD has 3DNOW
| |
| 16:14 | <abeehc> i think hardware accel off the video driver is the most pertinent
| |
| 16:14 | <vbundi> Nvidia chipsets use hardware decoders now for HD video, VDPAU under linux utilizes this.... without it.. your CPU usage is insane while trying to decode x264 1080p
| |
| 16:15 | <abeehc> to be fair it's not exclusively nvidia making available hardware accell
| |
| 16:15 | but vpdau is the best method out there for sure
| |
| 16:15 | <vbundi> no, ATI does it too
| |
| 16:15 | <abeehc> ati's vpdau equivalent hasn't matured yet i don't think
| |
| 16:16 | <Gadi> right, but flash does not use hardware accel
| |
| 16:16 | <abeehc> with the new intel stack my clients do pretty well
| |
| 16:16 | it does if it's available
| |
| 16:16 | <rmainard> treyhunsuker: I was using 9.10 but the writeup and all of the examples on the ltsp-cluster website uses 8.04 for those servers and 9.04 for the root and app servers. I had that config on my last test but decided to try updating to 9.1 for the root and app to see if it worked better with some of the apps I want to use. I did have the same problem with that config as well
| |
| 16:16 | <Gadi> so, none of that is relevant if you are playing flash content
| |
| 16:16 | alexqwesa has quit IRC | |
| 16:16 | <abeehc> otherwise my laptop would melt at youtube
| |
| 16:16 | flash uses hardware accell
| |
| 16:16 | or you are junk
| |
| 16:16 | short of xeons
| |
| 16:17 | <vbundi> Gadi: hardware accell for graphics? maybe not, but for lots of other stuff it may use 'cpu hardware accel' if you know what I mean
| |
| 16:17 | <treyhunsucker> rmainard: you try might the edubuntu room here

| 16:33 | <abeehc> there we go ff opened it with no problem
| |
| 16:34 | so this is non-flash?
| |
| 16:34 | <vbundi> no, it's flash
| |
| 16:34 | <abeehc> that rocks
| |
| 16:34 | oh
| |
| 16:35 | <vbundi> rocks? oh yeah I can't wait till they start coming out with 3D adds with flying saucers telling me that I'm a lucky winner.. haha
