10:43 | <atkuepker> if anyone else cares (or ends up finding this page in the archives), it's being called by /etc/X11/Xsession and is using the '.' shell call and thus is using the current Ubuntu 9.10 default of /bin/dash. Not exactly tolerant of non-POSIX-perfect code.

11:54 | <johnny> atkuepker, yep.. that's how it's been .. all scripts that ubuntu relies upon must be runnable by dash
| |
11:54 | if they aren't.. it's a major issue
| |
11:56 | <alkisg> Unless they have #!/bin/bash on top :)
| |
11:58 | <atkuepker> no kidding... I have 10 years worth of legacy scripts to support. Really not liking how constraining dash is. Probably getting to be time to drop shell scripting entirely and move to python or similar.
| |
12:00 | <vagrantc> if you're relying on bash features, explicitly specify bash and be done with it.
| |
12:01 | <atkuepker> or for that matter, any of the POSIX features that Dash hasn't implemented yet.
| |
12:02 | * vagrantc suspects dash is much more POSIX compliant than bash | |
12:03 | <atkuepker> won't argue that. but I don't expect bash to be all that compliant. I get pretty irritated when Dash doesn't have something that it's supposed to.
| |
12:03 | <vagrantc> "supposed to"
| |
12:04 | <atkuepker> for posix compliance. gotta walk the talk.
| |
12:05 | * vagrantc wonders what the talk really is | |
12:05 | <alkisg> LIke what?
| |
12:10 | <atkuepker> if so much noise is going to be made about Dash being the Shell of Choice because of its compliance with POSIX standards, it should fully comply.
| |
12:10 | otherwise, it's just pedantry that eats up even more of my time.
| |
12:11 | <vagrantc> and it doesn't comply how?
| |
12:12 | <atkuepker> some of the environment variables don't work as expected. it's a known issue, apparently.
| |
12:13 | <vagrantc> well, the main reason that ubuntu switched, i believe, was a noteable speed improvement ... the posix issues are largely a side-effect.
| |
12:13 | <alkisg> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
| |
12:14 | <atkuepker> boot speed is what I got from the press releases. Which I couldn't really care less about. A 20 second bootup is meaningless when the xSeries RAID cards spend 3 minutes sync'ing up.
| |
12:15 | <vagrantc> at least on debian, you can configure bash as the default /bin/sh if it's really so painful.
| |
12:15 | i think ubuntu works as well
| |
12:15 | <atkuepker> but is rather risky, as alkisg's link points out
| |
12:17 | I doubt I'll move my systems back to Bash. Just not worth the hassle.

15:33 | <denisesball> hey, does anyone have access to a terminal on ubuntu 10.04? i have a website that continually completely crashes all my terminals
| |
15:33 | and its such a simple site
| |
15:33 | konqueror does not crash
| |
15:35 | <alkisg> Link?
| |
15:35 | <Ghid0rah> I'll test it too
| |
15:36 | <denisesball> jgarigen.com
| |
15:36 | it hangs firefox and then goes black, and then kicks me to the login
| |
15:37 | i tried creating nbdswap.conf w/128mb and no help. gotta be a firefox thing, cuz konq is fine
| |
15:37 | <Ghid0rah> seems to work for me
| |
15:37 | <denisesball> oh course
| |
15:37 | <alkisg> How much ram does your client have?
| |
15:37 | <Ghid0rah> isn't that how it always it
| |
15:37 | <denisesball> 128mb
| |
15:37 | <Ghid0rah> are you doing local apps with those clients?
| |
15:37 | <denisesball> no local apps
| |
15:37 | and all terminals crash on the site
| |
15:37 | <alkisg> Try rebooting and passing "nocompcache" in pxelinux.cfg/default, while NBD_SWAP=True in lts.conf
| |
15:38 | <denisesball> same with townballroom.com
| |
15:38 | alkisg: do i have to put NBD_SWAP=True in lts.conf for it to use /etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf.?
| |
15:38 | because i did not
| |
15:38 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
15:39 | <Ghid0rah> when should NBD_SWAP be used?
| |
15:39 | <denisesball> yeesh, that is not clear in the manual
| |
15:40 | <alkisg> !lts.conf
| |
15:40 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "lts.conf" :: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
| |
15:41 | <alkisg> Doesn't NBD_SWAP in that page mention it?
| |
15:42 | Yup, xorg runs out of memory with 128M on that page
| |
15:42 | <denisesball> yeah it does on that page
| |
15:42 | <alkisg> In my case firefox closes but X doesn't - and I got a local `top` running to verify the memory problem
| |
15:43 | <denisesball> alkisg: oh sweet, you confirmed the crash?
| |
15:43 | <alkisg> Yeah it's the classic X pixmaps problem
| |
15:43 | <denisesball> trying nbdswap=128 WITH NBD_SWAP=True in lts.conf this time :P
| |
15:44 | <Ghid0rah> alkisg
| |
15:44 | when should NBDSwap be used?
| |
15:45 | <alkisg> denisesball: the problem is that the initial jpg in that site is 1.3 MB, which is huge
| |
15:45 | Ghid0rah: when you need swap...
| |
15:45 | In general, you need swap with <= 128 RAM, or if you use localapps
| |
15:45 | <denisesball> holy crap alkisg good catch!
| |
15:46 | <Ghid0rah> sorry for my ignorance on this... what is a good amount of swap?
| |
15:46 | <denisesball> that would explain the townballroom.com crashes too, looks liek they also dont know how to scale
| |
15:46 | <Ghid0rah> do you need swap if you have 1gb of memory on a thin client with local apps?
| |
15:47 | <alkisg> denisesball: so if you point firefox JUST to the image, it still crashes: http://jgarigen.com/web_images/website_entrance.jpg
| |
15:48 | <denisesball> yep i see that
| |
15:48 | even with adding 128mb of nbdswap, i still crash
| |
15:48 | <alkisg> Ghid0rah: on normal PCs it is said that you should reserve 1-2 times the RAM as a swap space
| |
15:48 | <denisesball> is there a way to verify nbdswap is working?
| |
15:48 | <alkisg> Ghid0rah: so, for a normal PC with 1 Gb ram, one would use a 2 Gb swap partition
| |
15:49 | Now, it's not easy to have 2 Gb swap for each client on the server
| |
15:49 | So, usually we don't do it. But if you open firefox with 50 tabs locally, you might experience crashes...
| |
15:49 | denisesball: run `free` from a localxterm
| |
15:50 | !localxterm
| |
15:50 | <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.
| |
15:50 | <denisesball> alkisg: ok 1 sec, after i reboot the thing again...
| |
15:55 | <alkisg> For some reason rendering a 1.3 MB jpeg makes firefox tell xorg to use 50+ MB of memory.
| |
15:55 | And rendering the same image with chrome doesn't make xorg use any memory, so no crashing there. It's extemely slow to render though, while using eog is quite fast.
| |
15:56 | <denisesball> gotta be a firefox bug?
| |
15:56 | <alkisg> So we should probably file a bug against firefox, because using so much memory isn't normal...
| |
15:56 | <denisesball> yeah thats a problem for my users, all they use is firefox and web apps
| |
15:56 | mischko has joined #ltsp | |

| |
15:58 | <denisesball> will someone else? or do u need me to?
| |
15:59 | <alkisg> If you have some time, please do.
| |
15:59 | <denisesball> ok ill try to get to it tomorrow
| |
16:01 | Mava has quit IRC | |
16:03 | <denisesball> ok alkisg running free in a local xterm, i have 12056 total Mem and 161072 free Swap
| |
16:03 | firefox still destroys the terminal going to that website!
| |
16:04 | Mava has joined #ltsp | |
16:05 | <alkisg> That picture is 6480x4320 pixels!!! Insane!
| |
16:05 | So, with 32bpp, it would need 111974400 bytes of xorg memory, i.e. 107MB
| |
16:06 | <denisesball> should i keep increasing it until it works lol
| |
16:06 | just for a test case
| |
16:06 | <alkisg> Nah
| |
16:06 | Try X_RAMREC
| |
16:06 | Errrr perc
| |
16:06 | See lts.conf about it
| |
16:06 | <denisesball> what should i set it to?
| |
16:07 | <alkisg> Try different values, I don't know what would work. But it should keep the TC from crashing...
| |
16:07 | * alkisg tries to crash firefox with a huge _blank_ image... | |
16:07 | <denisesball> should i keep the ndb swap too?
| |
16:08 | <alkisg> A little swap is OK, the default 64Mb should suffice
| |
16:08 | <denisesball> "By default, swap files are 32 Megabytes in size."
| |
16:08 | <alkisg> You might also want to remove compcache if you enable nbd_swap
| |
16:08 | <denisesball> isnt 32 the default?
| |
16:08 | <alkisg> Nope, it's 64 on lucid
| |
16:08 | We need to update the docs
