01:46 | <nutron> vagrantc: heh
| |
01:46 | I think so.
| |
01:47 | I'm having some issues, after some use on the thin client, the screen locks (the system still responds to keyboard and mouse input) so I can switch to vt1, but after a few moments it logs out and goes back to ldm, it just becomes unresponsive. Is this a known/common issue?
| |
01:48 | <vagrantc> are they browsing lots of websites? how much ram is on the thin clients?
| |
01:49 | some versions firefox/iceweasel and openoffice stash pixmaps in ram and never purge them... so eventually thin clients run out of ram
| |
01:49 | stash pixmaps in the X server's ram, and never clean them ...
| |
01:49 | not sure if that's what's happening
| |
01:49 | try2free has left #ltsp | |
01:50 | <nutron> ahh, well
| |
01:50 | <vagrantc> it was never clear to me if lenny's version of iceweasel and openoffice were or were not impacted by those bugs
| |
01:50 | <nutron> I'll watch the ram usage
| |
01:50 | I use it for a while, then it... I don't know how to explain it
| |
01:50 | <vagrantc> you could try enabling nbd swap, too, and then if the swap files suddenly get huge, you'd know
| |
01:50 | <nutron> the mouse moves, but nothing responds
| |
01:50 | yes I've been meaning to
| |
01:51 | <vagrantc> also, you could enable remote syslogging
| |
01:51 | <nutron> I'll go do that
| |
01:51 | I did, ldm doesn't say much
| |
01:51 | <vagrantc> then you'll see the OOM errors
| |
01:51 | <nutron> oohh.. err none of those
| |
01:51 | <vagrantc> hrm.
| |
01:51 | <nutron> since the machine still responds
| |
01:51 | <vagrantc> that's probably not the problem then
| |
01:51 | <nutron> i can switch to the console and look around
| |
01:52 | <vagrantc> since X.org is the largest process running on the thin client, it's likely to get killed when the OOM killer goes on it's killing spree
| |
01:52 | <nutron> feels like gnome is just locking up, somehow the machine realizes it, then kills the session and it goes back to ldm, like a minute later
| |
01:52 | oh, ok
| |
01:52 | I had nothing but gimp open remotely, i'll play with it
| |
01:52 | <vagrantc> there's the X_RAMPERC setting, which might help if that's it
| |
01:52 | <nutron> nbdswap comin' up
| |
01:53 | k, that just starts killing other programs though, correct?
| |
01:53 | not x?
| |
01:53 | <vagrantc> what that does is it limits processes from consuming all the ram ... it's not totally effective, but it often helps
| |
01:53 | since most processes won't usually consume anywhere near 20% of the ram other than X, it usually helps with X_RAMPERC=80
| |
01:54 | <nutron> k
| |
01:54 | <vagrantc> nutron: see the explanation in X_RAMPERC
| |
01:54 | <nutron> I'll set that
| |
01:54 | <vagrantc> in lts.conf manpage
| |
01:54 | <nutron> aye
| |
01:54 | <vagrantc> it describes the symptoms
| |
01:55 | might likely apply to gimp, too ... don't really know
| |
01:55 | <nutron> I've seen it lots, though these clients have 1g+, this one is at 1 gig, and I was running firefox(iceweasel) locally no problem on another box with 512
| |
01:55 | <vagrantc> wow
| |
01:55 | with localapps it gets more complicated, of course :)
| |
01:55 | <nutron> k, didn't think with gimp running on the server (with 48 gigs) would affect the client
| |
01:56 | <vagrantc> it still has to display the graphics...
| |
01:56 | <nutron> heh yeah, i was planning on nbd swap, was just using the client to modify the theme
| |
01:56 | <vagrantc> see if you can make it consistantly repeatable ... i.e. opening images foo bar and baz always do it
| |
01:56 | <nutron> it was easier than using my real non-ltsp workstation heh
| |
01:56 | yes it's done it 6 times in the last hour
| |
01:57 | ahh i see
| |
01:57 | Yeah, here I go. I'm gonna set X_RAMPERC first
| |
01:58 | <vagrantc> something between 80-90 seems to be the recommendation
| |
01:58 | <nutron> ok set to 85
| |
01:59 | and booting
| |
01:59 | <vagrantc> though really, if you're not getting OOM errors, that's probably not the issue
| |
02:00 | <nutron> vagrantc: now when I installed NBD daemon, it asked for ports and such, does ltsp handle the config for me or do I need to create each swap and assign each port for each client?
| |
02:00 | yeah, no oom errors :/
| |
02:00 | So I don't understand wholly what's going on
| |
02:00 | <vagrantc> grep nbd /etc/inetd.conf
| |
02:01 | <nutron> 9572 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdswapd
| |
02:01 | <vagrantc> update-inetd --group LTSP --add "9572 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdswapd
| |
02:01 | yeah, looks good.
| |
02:02 | <nutron> ok, then I'll just go and follow the steps in the docs
| |
02:02 | <vagrantc> ltsp works around some limitations in nbd-server
| |
02:02 | <nutron> one other thing that's been nagging at me
| |
02:02 | <vagrantc> by using nbdswapd
| |
02:02 | <nutron> when someone hits reset.. ah
| |
02:03 | when someone shuts down a client by pulling the plug... does the session just hang on the server? or does it leave the programs that were open running?
| |
02:03 | <vagrantc> there will probably be lots of nbdswapd processes running for a while
| |
02:03 | most programs will notice that their DISPLAY is gone and die eventually
| |
02:04 | <nutron> k so the do stick around
| |
02:04 | <vagrantc> you can set things up with, strangely enough, rdesktop, to handle that situation, but it looses other features (sound, localdev)
| |
02:04 | <nutron> Oh, nah, can't lose those, I can handle it
| |
02:04 | <vagrantc> might be able to also configure persistant sessions with vnc or nx
| |
02:04 | and also wouldn't work well with localapps, of course :)
| |
02:05 | <nutron> I wonder if that's what's screwing with me, I keep loggin' in to clients as I test them and then i just power them off since there was no hard drive heh
| |
02:05 | then it occured to me that.. there was a session :/
| |
02:05 | <vagrantc> if you log out, then hitting the power button shouldn't be too bad.
| |
02:05 | <nutron> hah, yeah but the local apps I don't care much about... iceweasel and maybe vnc
| |
02:06 | alright, maybe I'll do some ps hunting to see what's left open
| |
02:06 | dobber has joined #ltsp | |
02:06 | <vagrantc> it varies widely how well programs handle thin clients being powered off
| |
02:08 | <nutron> :P I don't know why I assumed it shouldn't be a problem :)
| |
02:09 | <vagrantc> someone spread the horrible idea that the proper way to log out was hitting ctrl-alt-backspace... and then people complained about programs responding badly
| |
02:10 | <nutron> haha, nice ... yuck
| |
02:11 | <vagrantc> it's taken two years to fight that idea and i still catch people doing it...
| |
02:11 | <nutron> wow a project hasn't had me excited like this in years and yet so frustrated on the sparse documentation :)

11:48 | <nickelone> Good afternoon, I have a question..... I have 1 ltsp server set up (Ubuntu 10.4 from the alternate cd), and have the image set up to do ldap authentication. I am able to log into the client via ssh without any problem, however, when trying to log into gdm, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/45B0Lg4v
| |
12:08 | <muppis> First one looks like your image for thin client image is bad. Try to mount locally via loopback.
| |
12:10 | as I don't really know does nbd care what is inside the imagefile, but according to error it seems like it does.
| |
12:16 | <nickelone> it mounts fine and there's no errors in the image....
| |
12:19 | <muppis> Hmm.. then it's out of my luck.
| |
12:21 | <Blinny> muppis: Because that's what my 4 servers are running.
| |
12:21 | I'm switching telcos and ISPs right now - don't need a server upgrade at the same time.
| |
12:21 | Eventually will upgrade the server to Lucid as well, just not yet.
| |
12:21 | <muppis> Blinny, ah, ok..
| |
12:22 | <Blinny> But I'm trying to get around a Realtek 8168 booting problem by upgrading the chroot.
| |
12:22 | <muppis> nickelone, so you can login to client from server with ssh, but not from client to server with ldm?
| |
12:25 | <nickelone> muppis: correct.... everything except ldm works...
| |
12:25 | i get that error when trying to log in via ldm
| |
12:27 | <muppis> nickelone, then login via ssh and try manually mount image via nbd.
| |
12:30 | alkisg has joined #ltsp | |
12:31 | <nickelone> to the thin client?
| |
12:31 | <muppis> Yes.
| |
12:32 | <nickelone> isn't the image already mounted at that point though?
| |
12:32 | <muppis> Yes, but can still try it to different location.

12:41 | <Q-FUNK> seems that a long-standing bug on some older thin client hardware might require fixing mknbi or replacing mknbi with wraplinux.

15:51 | <vbundi> hey I copied the build-client.conf file and when I run ltsp-build-client it complains that an i386 chroot exists already... (because it does) I want to make another chroot called fat-i386, if I use ltsp-build-client --chroot fat-i386, will it still use my conf file?
| |
15:51 | this is from the fat-client wiki page btw
