| 02:01 | <elias_a> Hello. Does someone have exprience on connection problems of playing flash video content?
| |
| 02:01 | Hardy 8.04 in question.
| |
| 02:02 | <gnunux> hi
| |
| 02:02 | <elias_a> I do of course understand that playng video is not that easy task on LTSP.
| |
| 02:02 | <gnunux> flash video are slow ?
| |
| 02:02 | <elias_a> This problem however is that the playing does not even start.
| |
| 02:03 | Guerdal82 has joined #ltsp | |
| 02:03 | <elias_a> For example this link: http://areena.yle.fi/video/981819
| |
| 02:04 | I get a network connection error report.
| |
| 02:04 | <Guerdal82> Hello all :-p
| |
| 02:04 | <elias_a> Is there a general problem with flash video when running 32-bit clients on 64-bit server?
| |
| 02:05 | <Guerdal82> does anyone try to install google-chrome as a localapps on LTSP-cluster 10.04 ?
| |
| 02:06 | I have a error : Failed to bind() /home/david.allard/.config/google-chrome/SingletonSocket: Opération non permise
| |
| 02:06 | <elias_a> Guerdal82: UUhhhh.. sounds like a pain in the butt....
| |
| 02:06 | <Guerdal82> what I have do wrong ? if anyone known :-)
| |
| 02:07 | It function very well with LTSP on ubuntu 9.04
| |
| 02:07 | <alkisg> Guerdal82: I think it needs FOLLOW_SYMLINKS=False
| |
| 02:08 | <Guerdal82> Yes I try but that don't fix the problem :-(
| |
| 02:08 | SSH_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS or FOLLOW_SYMLINKS ?
| |
| 02:08 | <alkisg> SSHxxx
| |
| 02:09 | moment...
| |
| 02:09 | <Guerdal82> how do I know that the parameter is well passed to the thin client ?
| |
| 02:10 | <alkisg> !localxterm
| |
| 02:10 | <ltspbot`> alkisg: "localxterm" :: while sitting on a thin client, open a gnome terminal. In that, run: ltsp-localapps xterm. An xterm will open. That xterm runs locally, so any commands you enter there are executed directly on the client.
| |
| 02:10 | <alkisg> In that xterm, run: getltscfg -a
| |
| 02:10 | frgds has joined #ltsp | |
| 02:11 | <Guerdal82> ok I try that
| |
| 02:11 | nothing :-(
| |
| 02:13 | <alkisg> Where's your lts.conf?
| |
| 02:14 | <Guerdal82> nothing with getltscfg -a but I have all my parameter with getltscfg-cluster -a
| |
| 02:16 | the config from the ltsp-cluster-admin : http://pastebin.com/7JHt4mre
| |
| 02:17 | <alkisg> Ah, sorry, no idea about cluster.
| |
| 02:18 | Google chrome worked fine for me with SSH_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS=False
| |
| 02:19 | tstafford has quit IRC | |
| 02:22 | <Guerdal82> thanks for the try, I'll continue to search the problem later :-)

| 06:35 | <dobber_> i have a wierd problem booting up ltsp clients
| |
| 06:36 | sometimes (at random) the booting process stops and you have to turn off the client to try booting again
| |
| 06:36 | after 1/5 tries it boots normaly
| |
| 06:37 | so after a bit of debuging, i got it to /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-core
| |
| 06:38 | this line -> start_sound || true
| |
| 06:42 | or just before it
| |
| 06:42 | ./usr/share/ltsp/screen_session
| |
| 06:50 | or not...
| |
| 06:51 | is there any developers docs?

| 07:58 | <fly23> hi
| |
| 08:00 | maybe someone of you guys can give me a hint
| |
| 08:00 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
| 08:01 | <fly23> after upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 i can't connect to the X-server
| |
| 08:02 | the users .xsession-errors states 'permission denied'
| |
| 08:02 | <dobber_> did you `ltsp-update-sshkeys`
| |
| 08:02 | <fly23> yes
| |
| 08:02 | <dobber_> in 8.04 isn't ltsp still version 4 ?
| |
| 08:03 | <fly23> and an ltsp-update-image
| |
| 08:03 | at least it was ltsp over nbd running before
| |
| 08:04 | markit has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:04 | <dobber_> you boot fine, ldm starts and when you login it says "permission denied" ?
| |
| 08:05 | <fly23> no, i just get thrown back to ldm
| |
| 08:05 | ich find this line in the users .xsession-errors
| |
| 08:07 | i tried false credentials, at least then i get a message at LDM
| |
| 08:11 | <dobber_> well, i dont know enough ot ltsp to help from here
| |
| 08:13 | fly23 can you ssh to your server and login with client user/pass
| |
| 08:16 | <fly23> yes
| |
| 08:16 | that way i can read the users .xsession-errors
| |
| 08:16 | and thats the only clue i have
| |
| 08:17 | "open: Permission denied"
| |
| 08:23 | PMantis has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:24 | <PMantis> Hi guys! Does anyone know if LTSP 5.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS supports an auto-login configured in lts.conf?
| |
| 08:25 | cliebow has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:25 | <vizz> PMantis: in [ethernet-addr] section LDM_USERNAME & LDM_PASSWORD should work
| |
| 08:25 | <cliebow> Hey STeve!!!
| |
| 08:26 | <PMantis> cliebow: Hi!!
| |
| 08:27 | It's Chuckie. LOL
| |
| 08:27 | <cliebow> havnt seen you for a while..still in ny?
| |
| 08:27 | <PMantis> cliebow: yes
| |
| 08:27 | <cliebow> nice to see the old 4.2 ltspers around
| |
| 08:28 | <PMantis> Heh, yeah. I'm a little rusty, and LTSP 5.x is a bit of a strange concept.
| |
| 08:28 | No RJune today?
| |
| 08:28 | I like to pick on him. LOL
| |
| 08:29 | vvinet has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:30 | <cliebow> heh
| |
| 08:30 | rjune is like you..pops in once in a while to refresh..
| |
| 08:30 | <PMantis> vizz: So, [ethernet-addr] section? I assume you're talking about replacing "ethernet-addr" with IP or MAC...
| |
| 08:30 | <cliebow> ltsp5 still daunting for me as well..cause i have lost my labs..
| |
| 08:30 | <PMantis> cliebow: Really? I must have been lucky then. :)
| |
| 08:31 | <cliebow> well..they went one to one with frigging macbooks
| |
| 08:31 | <PMantis> cliebow: Oh no! You had a good thing going up there! School admins can be annoying.
| |
| 08:32 | <cliebow> so the macbooks are dropping like flies..sometimes literally..we have one guy dedicated just to sending them back for brokeb screens..
| |
| 08:32 | <PMantis> Wow
| |
| 08:33 | For that, you'd think it'd be a benefit to have screens in stock and replace them right there.
| |
| 08:33 | <cliebow> yeah.. we have to go get certified as apple depot
| |
| 08:33 | warranty wise
| |
| 08:33 | the macbooks are a bastard to work with
| |
| 08:33 | <vizz> PMantis: with mac, right
| |
| 08:34 | <PMantis> Well, at least they didn't go with windoze lappys!!
| |
| 08:34 | <cliebow> i put a screen in one last year and sent it home for the weekend with a kid..damn thing caught on fire
| |
| 08:34 | <PMantis> vizz: Thanks!
| |
| 08:34 | cliebow: SERIOUSLY?!!
| |
| 08:34 | <cliebow> somehow i pinched the video cable..
| |
| 08:35 | <PMantis> yow!
| |
| 08:35 | <cliebow> every screw holding them together is a different size
| |
| 08:37 | <PMantis> vizz: I think I have this right, but no login. I just changed the resolution and it booted to the new resolution, so I KNOW it's reading the lts.conf. Any log to check?

| |
| 08:38 | * PMantis tests again | |
| 08:38 | <vizz> ok
| |
| 08:40 | mikkel has quit IRC | |
| 08:40 | <PMantis> Hmm, almost works. LDM keeps starting/ stopping... maybe password is wrong.
| |
| 08:41 | auth.log confirms it.
| |
| 08:41 | dobber_ has quit IRC | |
| 08:42 | <Guerdal82> hello, I have a question about config of ltsp-cluster. Does anyone can handle this here ?
| |
| 08:58 | <cliebow> Guerdal82, try back in a bit..i amhaving senior moment who to talk to
| |
| 08:59 | dobber has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:02 | <markit> fly23: did you changed IP of the server? maybe you have to regenerate the ssd keys in chroot, or something like that (newbie here)
| |
| 09:04 | <Guerdal82> cliebow : Ok I try later
| |
| 09:09 | <PMantis> vizz: All is working, I adjusted the session settings, and ONLY firefox is opening.
| |
| 09:09 | Now to get the we app to auto-login for this thin client. :)
| |
| 09:09 | Thanks!

| 11:03 | <atkuepker> denisesball: We see something similar every couple weeks here. Unfortunately, we haven't found a fix and the only workaround is rebooting. Not pleasant when there's 50 administrative and service staff on a server.

| 11:26 | <kusznir> thunsucker: some...more stuff broke, which pointed to a catastrophic failure of my authentication/authorization system.
| |
| 11:27 | <thunsucker> kusznir: no fun....so it was the rain before the storm
| |
| 11:27 | <kusznir> Yep.
| |
| 11:27 | <thunsucker> kusznir: sorry to hear
| |
| 11:27 | <kusznir> Still trying to get my network back online....
| |
| 11:28 | pmatulis has quit IRC | |
| 11:30 | F-GT has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:31 | <kusznir> Ok, I think I got my 9.04 server back up....had to restart a chunk of my infastructure.
| |
| 11:32 | pmatulis has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:43 | <alkisg> stgraber: could you have a look at this failed ltsp build log?
| |
| 11:43 | http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49075644/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.ltsp_5.2.1-0ubuntu10~ppa0-bzr1745_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
| |
| 11:43 | It was built successfully for i386, but failed for amd64, with the following error:
| |
| 11:43 | dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libpopt.so.0 needed by debian/ltsp-client-core/usr/bin/getltscfg (ELF format: 'elf32-i386'; RPATH: '').
| |
| 11:45 | <kusznir> Ok, Its only partially fixed, but I'm pretty sure this problem is still auth related..Attempts to ssh in hang an inordinate amount of time, then once logged in, its another inordinate amount of time before my user prompt is delivered.
| |
| 11:46 | denisesball has left #ltsp | |
| 11:47 | <thunsucker> kusznir: honestly still sounds like dns
| |
| 11:48 | kusznir: once ssh'ed in, do ping 4.2.2.2
| |
| 11:48 | then do ping google.com
| |
| 11:48 | does it hang for a couple seconds pinging google.com but not 4.2.2.2?
| |
| 11:48 | <kusznir> Both returned immediately.
| |
| 11:48 | I also pinged some local hostnames, and they also returned immediately. No DNS delays here.
| |
| 11:49 | (unless its trying to do a very specific lookup)
| |
| 11:49 | vagrantc has quit IRC | |
| 11:50 | <kusznir> So, doing an ls in my home directory share (/net/files/home/) returns quickly, but an ls -l takes forever.
| |
| 11:50 | And yet, getent passwd returns quickly...
| |
| 12:02 | komunista has quit IRC | |
| 12:10 | EsLo_ has quit IRC | |
| 12:16 | <kusznir> So, question out there: can I have a cluster of ltsp "machines", one of which is exclusively dedicated to serving up thin clients' OSes (nbd primarily), and NOT have that machine joined to the central authentication system, or will that break things (like localapps)?
| |
| 12:16 | nubae has quit IRC | |
| 12:16 | nubae has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:24 | <PMantis> kusznir: I'd try running: nslookup ip.of.ltsp.client
| |
| 12:25 | See if *reverse* DNS is OK.
| |
| 12:26 | <alkisg> stgraber: now that there's an upstart job for poweroff/reboot -fp, can I delete the -fp parameter from the other source (shell/C) files? They cause unclean shutdowns for me, and I've checked with vagrantc, he also doesn't want the -fp there...
| |
| 12:26 | <johnny> alkisg, things are working fine iwth lucid :)
| |
| 12:26 | EXCEPt sound on my server :)
| |
| 12:27 | <alkisg> Heh, is that an ltsp-related problem?
| |
| 12:27 | <johnny> i only have sound on the front panel headphone
| |
| 12:27 | no.. it's not
| |
| 12:27 | the ltsp part went fine
| |
| 12:27 | i'm not sure if i agree with those whole mess about moving the close/minimize/maximize buttons
| |
| 12:28 | <PMantis> johnny: Sounds like the mobo and front audio cables don't agree. I've seen that... unplug front audio header and rear audio works again.
| |
| 12:28 | <johnny> not sure why they did it without adding the new feature they hope to replace it with
| |
| 12:28 | PMantis, it's never been a problem before
| |
| 12:28 | or rather.. it has been a problem before.. on each release
| |
| 12:28 | i have to force the model sometimes
| |
| 12:28 | and sometimes not
| |
| 12:28 | the problem is a driver problem
| |
| 12:29 | <PMantis> johnny: Very odd indeed, then
| |
| 12:29 | <johnny> it worked fine in hardy, then broke on each release up to karmic
| |
| 12:29 | <nubae> johnny, alkisg greets
| |
| 12:29 | <johnny> and then went fine on karmic
| |
| 12:29 | <alkisg> Hi nubae
| |
| 12:29 | <johnny> broken on karmic in that the sound would go.. and then stop after about 5 seconds
| |
| 12:29 | that got fixed by forcing the model
| |
| 12:30 | <nubae> johnny, I'm just running new saabayon... looks really nice
| |
| 12:30 | not sure how related to gentoo it is anymore
| |
| 12:30 | other than using emerge
| |
| 12:30 | :-)
| |
| 12:31 | I'm trying to install chrome OS on it
| |
| 12:32 | <johnny> i have no idea of the sabayon os
| |
| 12:32 | never used it
| |
| 12:32 | be more specific in this room nubae , you should know better :)
| |
| 12:32 | <nubae> its hihgly related to gentoo though
| |
| 12:32 | <johnny> i know what it is
| |
| 12:32 | but say sabayon os..
| |
| 12:33 | the most relevent usage of sabayon here is the gnome program.. not the gentoo based os
| |
| 12:33 | <nubae> oh right
| |
| 12:33 | sorrry
| |
| 12:33 | gotcha now ;-)
| |
| 12:33 | hehe

| 15:17 | <alkisg> Hey Lns
| |
| 15:18 | <Lns> what's up alkisg
| |
| 15:18 | <alkisg> I've tried booting a thin client with 128mb ram off of a thin client chroot
| |
| 15:18 | Worked like a charm - but I have cron off
| |
| 15:19 | So I commited a patch to ltsp, so that now clients with low ram are automatically booted as thin
| |
| 15:19 | So in most cases now it isn't necessary to have 2 chroots, one suffices, and you don't have to specify LTSP_FATCLIENT=false either
| |
| 15:19 | <Lns> alkisg: oh ok, you meant you booted a 128mb client in a fat client chroot
| |
| 15:20 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
| 15:20 | <Lns> alkisg: well, I think that is a good concept - but there should be other things to consider as well, such as CPU speed
| |
| 15:20 | <alkisg> lns, it's working as a thin client, not a fat client
| |
| 15:20 | <Lns> and hopefully a variable for the admin to choose their own limits
| |
| 15:21 | alkisg: right - but it was technically booted to a fat client chroot
| |
| 15:21 | right?
| |
| 15:21 | <alkisg> Lns, I'm talking about that paragraph that you wrote: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients#Separating%20chroots
| |
| 15:21 | That it isn't necessary
| |
| 15:21 | If one has a fat chroot, he doesn't have to have a thin chroot as well for low ram clients
| |
| 15:22 | <Lns> Did I write that? Haha
| |
| 15:22 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
| 15:22 | * Lns needs ECC in his noggin | |
| 15:22 | <alkisg> :)
| |
| 15:22 | <Lns> that's great alkisg, I think that will help a lot of people out
| |
| 15:23 | <alkisg> About that variable, yes, I put a FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD parameter
| |
| 15:23 | ...with a default value of 300MB
| |
| 15:24 | * Lns thinks of some cool additions to alkisg's idea - something like THINRAM_THRESHOLD=n (integer, number of megabytes of RAM to consider "thin" booting in the chroot) | |
| 15:24 | <Lns> hahaha
| |
| 15:24 | ok i need to read what you write first
| |
| 15:24 | <alkisg> Heh, too late for your idea, it was already implemented this morning ;)
| |
| 15:24 | <Lns> that is awesome!
| |
| 15:25 | <alkisg> Ugh, I forgot to make it MB though so it's on KB, I'd better change that...
| |
| 15:25 | <Lns> I was trying to figure out, a while ago, how to symlink between chroots to avoid having to make changes in both when desired..this bypasses that whole thing
| |
| 15:29 | <alkisg> The fat chroot I was trying with actually needed less RAM than my thin chroot, I need to invistigate why...
| |
| 15:32 | * alkisg just booted an 64mb client, cool! | |

| 16:03 | <Lns> alkisg: ubu 10.04?
| |
| 16:04 | <alkisg> Lns, yup, but it's not published yet, I'm using the trunk
| |
| 16:04 | (for the ram threshold - the fat chroots should be able to boot thin clients with 64MB in the standard lucid installation)
| |
| 16:05 | (with cron = off)
| |
| 16:05 | <Lns> alkisg: what exactly doesn't get used in a thin vs. fat client chroot besides the running of most apps locally? anything?
| |
| 16:05 | what's the big deal with cron? it doesn't use much ram right?
| |
| 16:05 | <alkisg> Cron doesn't, but the software-update etc that it runs, do
| |
| 16:06 | So if those are launched in 64mb clients, they'll just crash
| |
| 16:06 | (some cron jobs also affect thin chroots as well)
| |
| 16:07 | E.g. an apt-xapian-index update will need lots of ram to store the updated database
| |
| 16:07 | <Lns> ah...sucks though since cron can provide a lot of good functionality even for low ram clients, custom scripts, etc.
| |
| 16:08 | <alkisg> Lns, the best way is to run the jobs on the server, not on the clients
| |
| 16:09 | I have a network backend where each client offers the server a reverse shell
| |
| 16:09 | So the server can execute arbitrary commands on the clients, even with cron etc
| |
| 16:09 | mischko has joined #ltsp | |
| 16:09 | <alkisg> ...and that only consumes 1 mb on each client (=a /bin/sh)
| |
| 16:10 | I hope I can find some time to package this separately from sch-script, so that others can use it...

| |
| 16:14 | network backend = schscripts?
| |
| 16:15 | <alkisg> Yup, a part of it
| |
| 16:15 | <Lns> cool
| |
| 16:15 | <alkisg> There's also another network backend for users, where each user offers a reverse shell to the teacher
| |
| 16:15 | Guerdal82_ has quit IRC | |
| 16:16 | <alkisg> ...but that would be mostly useful in schools, not in business
| |
| 16:16 | So the user can get screenshots or lock their screens etc, again with just 1 mb of ram

| |
| 16:41 | just finally got around to testing LTSP on powerpc.
| |
| 16:41 | had an excuse to use it for freegeek.
| |
| 16:51 | <Lns> nice vagrantc1
| |
| 16:53 | how did it test out?
| |
| 17:01 | <vagrantc1> went smoothly
| |
| 17:01 | ldm came up and was able to log in without a hitch
| |
| 17:02 | this is a pretty dated version of LTSP... debian stable
| |
| 17:05 | <jammcq> hey vagrantc1
| |
| 17:05 | how's things?
| |
| 17:08 | <vagrantc1> well, things aren't nearly as good as stuff, but they're holding their own.
| |
| 17:09 | i'm still struggling with udev issues in debian/squeeze :(
| |
| 17:09 | ltspfs isn't working as well as i'd like.

| 23:18 | <prek> hi, our company got an ltsp server and a few clients, we asked to have them auto login at boot but the IT company who set them up said its not possible, is that the case ?
| |
| 23:22 | <johnny> it sure is possible
| |
| 23:22 | 2 different ways
| |
| 23:23 | <prek> yes。。。
| |
| 23:23 | <johnny> and there's also guest account support, but that involves creating more users on the server side, i use that at my internet cafe
| |
| 23:23 | <prek> i want each client to auto login into a different user
| |
| 23:24 | say , client one boots into "user1", client 2 boots into "user2"
| |
| 23:24 | <johnny> yep
| |
| 23:24 | the only problem with the regular autologin, is that you can't actually log out if not using gnome
| |
| 23:24 | <prek> so i somehow tie user login preferance to MAC address ?
| |
| 23:24 | <johnny> a gnome that includes a patched gnome-session (i think)
| |
| 23:24 | yes
| |
| 23:24 | so.. another option is tied autologin
| |
| 23:25 | so they can log out, and then choose shutdown from the main login page
| |
| 23:25 | sorry.. i emant.. you can't actually shutdown properly
| |
| 23:25 | <prek> well, each client is dedicated to a user so there is never a need to log out
| |
| 23:25 | <johnny> well, what you do , is edit the lts.conf file and set
| |
| 23:26 | <prek> belive it or not, the users are used to the windows logon and cannot figure out that they need to input both user name and password, despite many trainings...
| |
| 23:26 | <johnny> LDM_AUTOLOGIN=Y
| |
| 23:26 | [mac]
| |
| 23:26 | LDM_USERNAME=user
| |
| 23:26 | LMD_PASSWORD=pass
| |
| 23:26 | <prek> just add that anywhere in the file?
| |
| 23:26 | <johnny> if you don't already have an lts.conf, it must begin with [default] and is usually placed in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
| |
| 23:27 | that's on ubuntu btw
| |
| 23:27 | <prek> ubuntu here...
| |
| 23:27 | <johnny> or debian
| |
| 23:27 | slidesinger has quit IRC | |
| 23:27 | <johnny> ok, then that should do it.. as long as you have a distro newer than gutsy gibbon i think
| |
| 23:27 | <prek> 9.10 i believe
| |
| 23:28 | <johnny> just make sure to cdreate the accounts first
| |
| 23:28 | if you don't specify the username and enable autologin, it will try based on the pc hostname
| |
| 23:28 | a username and password combo exactly as shown on the ldm login screen
| |
| 23:29 | <prek> pc hostname ?
| |
| 23:29 | <johnny> on the hostname shown there
| |
| 23:29 | when you boot up your clients, you do see a hostname in the lower right hand corner?
| |
| 23:29 | ltspXXX
| |
| 23:29 | ?
| |
| 23:29 | <prek> oh yes
| |
| 23:29 | i think it says ltsp and an ip
| |
| 23:29 | <johnny> yep
| |
| 23:29 | it's part of the ip
| |
| 23:29 | <prek> never paid attaention to it
| |
| 23:30 | <johnny> well, if you create user accounts on the server with those names.. and with that password, it will autologin without specifying any thing in lts.conf
| |
| 23:30 | other than LDM_AUTOLOGIN=Y
| |
| 23:30 | but.. you can surely assign names as well.. as i showed you originally
| |
| 23:30 | based on the mac address.. or known IP
| |
| 23:31 | <prek> johnny, do i need to rebuild the image after i add those lines in the ltsp.conf ?
| |
| 23:31 | <johnny> lts.conf
| |
| 23:31 | not ltsp.conf
| |
| 23:31 | <prek> sorry,.,.,
| |
| 23:31 | <johnny> no, you don't
| |
| 23:31 | it's outside of the image
| |
| 23:31 | <prek> ok, thanks
| |
| 23:32 | <johnny> just make sure the file begins with [default] on the first line
| |
| 23:33 | <prek> johnny, it seems like i don't have that file > /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
| |
| 23:33 | <johnny> then you create it
| |
| 23:35 | RiXtEr has joined #ltsp | |
| 23:36 | <prek> johnny, can you have a look at this mock lts.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/439718/
| |
| 23:38 | <johnny> your mac's aren't seperated by :
| |
| 23:38 | err.. the spaces in the address should be :
| |
| 23:38 | and you're missing [default] at the time
| |
| 23:38 | top*
| |
| 23:40 | <prek> the mac i just wrote from memeory...
| |
| 23:40 | ok, so juts add [defualt] at the top and write the MAC properly , right?
| |
| 23:41 | <johnny> yes default
| |
| 23:41 | make sure you spell it right :)
| |
| 23:41 | <prek> ha
| |
| 23:41 | thanks
| |
| 23:41 | <johnny> and that that user exists
| |
| 23:41 | and get your money back from that consultant :) lol
| |
| 23:41 | or you could show pity on them
| |
| 23:42 | and tell them how you did it
| |
| 23:42 | this functionality has existed for many releases now :)
| |
| 23:42 | <prek> thanks, i will do it now
