| 08:38 | <Ghid0rah> Greetings Everyone. I was wondering if I can hook up a local USB device (non storage device) to a terminal and have a local app access the device?
| |
| 08:46 | <Appiah> Well yes
| |
| 08:46 | Such as printers and CD-readers works
| |
| 08:46 | CD burner does not work
| |
| 08:46 | CD Writer*
| |
| 08:47 | I guess scanners works too

| |
| 08:54 | just like on a normal workstation
| |
| 08:55 | <Ghid0rah> Awesome thank you.

| 11:44 | <abeehc> anyone have tips on getting synergy to work between a client and my laptop
| |
| 11:44 | <johnny> no.. but this isn't the write channel for that
| |
| 11:45 | unless it's something that's directly a problem with ltsp
| |
| 11:45 | right*
| |
| 11:45 | <abeehc> problem is a bit harsh
| |
| 11:45 | but the ltsp client
| |
| 11:45 | is the problem
| |
| 11:45 | <johnny> what specifically about it..
| |
| 11:45 | <abeehc> i just don't know how to approach it
| |
| 11:45 | do you know what synergy is
| |
| 11:45 | <johnny> especially with something like synergy.. not sure what would be any different vs a standard install
| |
| 11:45 | yes, it's for desktop sharing, you can have windows open on multiple OS even
| |
| 11:46 | <abeehc> something along those lines
| |
| 11:46 | <johnny> and switch back and forth with a keystroke
| |
| 11:46 | <abeehc> hmm well i've tried installing it on the ltsp server
| |
| 11:46 | its alright i'll struggle along
| |
| 11:46 | you clearly have no tips
| |
| 11:46 | <johnny> you haven't provided any detals
| |
| 11:47 | that's like saying "it's broken"
| |
| 11:47 | nobody can help with that that lack of details
| |
| 11:47 | <abeehc> it's not broken i doubt
| |
| 11:47 | <johnny> it's obviously not working right in some fashion
| |
| 11:47 | so don't jump to conclusions.. try providing details
| |
| 11:47 | if it's an ltsp problem and i can't help, i know some folks who can
| |
| 11:47 | <abeehc> i appreciate that

| 15:28 | rad4Christ has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:29 | <rad4Christ> Hey guys, a quick question. Has anyone tried to puch the Netbook Remix frontend over ltsp? Is it even possible?
| |
| 15:29 | <johnny> hmm.. sbalneav what do you use for issue tracking for regular folks at legal aid? anything? something custom?
| |
| 15:29 | helpdesky stuff
| |
| 15:30 | why woul you want to do that?
| |
| 15:30 | <rad4Christ> Me?
| |
| 15:30 | <johnny> srry... can't type your nick.. it's somewhat uhmm.. offensive..
| |
| 15:30 | yes, you
| |
| 15:31 | it's probably possible
| |
| 15:31 | <rad4Christ> Well, this is for a computer lab in a school, and the layout of the UNR is nice and clean.
| |
| 15:31 | <johnny> i don't know what wm is even used tho
| |
| 15:31 | they are about to change it drastically btw
| |
| 15:31 | something called unity...
| |
| 15:31 | <rad4Christ> It's gnome, but it uses a custom menu system/something or other.
| |
| 15:31 | <johnny> it seems possible that it might just work
| |
| 15:31 | <rad4Christ> Yeah, I know. 10.04 did however allow it to run without 3d acceleration.
| |
| 15:32 | <johnny> ah.. yes.. that would still be the same
| |
| 15:32 | <rad4Christ> I've already tried, the clients defaulted to the basic gnome layout
| |
| 15:32 | <johnny> that sounds like a hard requriement
| |
| 15:32 | your clients can't do 3d?
| |
| 15:32 | what video cards?
| |
| 15:32 | <rad4Christ> Meh, it's not a requirement, just a wish. I'll move forward on the set up, but it'd be nice if I could use it.
| |
| 15:32 | <johnny> no.. i meant it's a hard requirement for that interfae
| |
| 15:32 | interface*
| |
| 15:32 | <rad4Christ> These are subpar PCs that are really only good for thin client usage.
| |
| 15:33 | Ahh, gotcha.
| |
| 15:33 | <johnny> that doesn't mean they can't do 3d
| |
| 15:34 | <rad4Christ> Well, on these particular units, they have an Intel chipset with driver issues. In 9.04 the only way to get the menu system to detect mouse over and respond was to disable tracing.
| |
| 15:35 | But either way, standard gnome desktop works, I just thought I'd try.
| |
| 15:35 | And my apologies if a name based on a person of faith is found to be offensive.
| |
| 15:35 | have a great day!

| |
| 17:31 | <grspence__> anyone able to help me with this (hopefully simple) question. I've got an LTSP client (ubuntu 10.04) to connect, automatically login. How do I share the external drives connected to the client over the network using samba
| |
| 17:34 | <alkisg> Right click on the drives and select share?
| |
| 17:35 | <grspence__> alkisg - tried that....
| |
| 17:35 | <johnny> alkisg, you're here still? i'm suprised
| |
| 17:36 | <alkisg> Heh... had some work to do, and now I'm just finishing my beer...
| |
| 17:36 | grspence__: and? why doesn't it work?
| |
| 17:36 | <grspence__> doesn't show up as a share
| |
| 17:37 | i can add the entry manually into my smb.conf but still no worky....
| |
| 17:37 | the drive appears mounted in /media/(ltspusername)/drivename
| |
| 17:37 | but i cannot access the files from the server
| |
| 17:38 | <alkisg> But the user is on the server, so he can access them from the server...
| |
| 17:38 | (a thin client session is on the server)
| |
| 17:38 | <grspence__> i get the ltsp client to login automatically with the username "ltspclient" that i've set up on the system....
| |
| 17:39 | i think it's somethign like a permissions error....can't access the drive as technically it's another user trying to access a directory "owned" by ltspclient
| |
| 17:39 | how would i change the permissions?
| |
| 17:39 | <alkisg> If the ltspclient user is on the sambashare group, can't he share it with samba?
| |
| 17:40 | I can't imagine why not (haven't tried it though)
| |
| 17:40 | Sure if you try to directly access it as another user, you can't, because of permissions. But over samba? You should be able to...
| |
| 17:40 | <grspence__> yup in the sambashare group
| |
| 17:41 | well the user ltspclient can't share it over samba... so my thinking is get my username to share it over samba logged into the server.... but it's a permissions error that keeps on stumping me
| |
| 17:41 | <alkisg> I think it'd be easier to focus on why the user can't share it over samba
| |
| 17:41 | <grspence__> hmm
| |
| 17:42 | should just be a case or me right clicking on the folder and sharing it on the client tho huh?
| |
| 17:43 | <alkisg> me == ltspclient, right
| |
| 17:43 | I just tried with a floppy inside vbox
| |
| 17:44 | I went to /media/user/, right clicked on "floppy0", and selected share
| |
| 17:44 | nautilus prompted me to give some permissions (read by others etc) and now it's shared
| |
| 17:44 | <grspence__> that's what i'm doing but no luck :(
| |
| 17:44 | maybe i should re-install samba then
| |
| 17:44 | sounds like a samba issue huh?
| |
| 17:45 | <johnny> reinstalling rarely fixes anything on linux
| |
| 17:45 | unless you actually deleted/modified the program files
| |
| 17:46 | <grspence__> hmmm
| |
| 17:46 | u do me a favour.... pastbin ur smb.conf?
| |
| 17:48 | <alkisg> It's the default... but wait... it said that it shared it, and put the icon and everything, but I don't think I'm able to see it over the network
| |
| 17:48 | * alkisg looks better... | |
| 17:49 | <grspence__> thats my issue
| |
| 17:49 | <alkisg> Maybe ltspfsd only allows the current user, let me see...
| |
| 17:55 | <grspence__> wonder if i log in with the same username on both machines that would work
| |
| 17:55 | <alkisg> Nah, samba runs as a different user anyway
| |
| 17:55 | <grspence__> but then i got programs on startup that would try to be launched by both machines....cause issues
| |
| 17:56 | hmmm ok
| |
| 17:56 | i'm stumped
| |
| 17:56 | <alkisg> I think the solution would be in ltspfsd itself
| |
| 17:56 | * alkisg doesn't use local media though - at least not with thin clients, only with fat clients.. | |
| 17:56 | <grspence__> aye....
| |
| 17:57 | but i want the client tucked away in a cupboard with all my external drives connected to it....
| |
| 17:57 | and then access the files on my PC connected to my television for mythtv
| |
| 17:57 | keep all the "ugliness" out of sight
| |
| 17:59 | weird thing is if i SSH as the ltspclient user to the server....
| |
| 17:59 | i can access the files
| |
| 17:59 | think i need to look into the permissions of the drive in the /media/ltspclient folder
| |
| 18:02 | <alkisg> Hmmm maybe it's not a permissions issue, but a fuse issue
| |
| 18:02 | I.e. maybe fuse only shows the mounted files to the current user
| |
| 18:02 | sbalneav would know :)

| |
| 18:04 | shogunx has quit IRC | |
| 18:05 | <grspence__> what would the command to give everyone read/write access? sudo chmod ugo_rwx to the directory?
| |
| 18:06 | <johnny> i don't think that would work in this case
| |
| 18:06 | yes.. ask sbalneav ..
| |
| 18:06 | you migh twant to post to the mailing list
| |
| 18:07 | ltsp-discuss
| |
| 18:08 | <grspence__> cheers guys... away to bed just now. will have to keep on trying with this tomorrow :(
| |
| 18:09 | <johnny> post to discuss
| |
| 18:09 | before sleep
| |
| 18:09 | then an answer might appear
| |
| 18:15 | <grspence__> solved it
| |
| 18:15 | the client and the server must be logged on with same username
