| 02:28 | <dyllan> hi all.
| |
| 02:29 | I would like to know if there is any benefit to using LTSP as opposed to connecting to a server directly with XDMCP ?
| |
| 02:30 | For example, at the moment I setup a normal linux server, enable XDMCP and my thin client has the X Server installed and makes a direct connection to it.
| |
| 02:31 | With LTSP, I notice the kernel image is sent directly to the Thin Client, does that mean that there will be a speed improvement because the thin client can process quicker?
| |
| 02:31 | At the moment using direct XDMCP, only the screen is being fetched across the network, is has its downsides, but before I get started with LTSP I want to be sure its the better option. thanks
| |
| 02:32 | <muppis> With LTSP, you don't need any HDD in client.
| |
| 02:32 | mordocai has quit IRC | |
| 02:33 | <dyllan> muppis, ok. But is that the only benefit ?
| |
| 02:33 | <muppis> And you can choose more freely is program runned in server or in client.
| |
| 02:34 | <dyllan> muppis, can I choose that on the fly, while im working, or is that a pre-determined setting?
| |
| 02:34 | <alkisg> Also you have sound, local devices (usb sticks etc) inside the user session etc
| |
| 02:34 | <dyllan> Also, if something is going to run on the client, how does linux know what hardware the client has etc?
| |
| 02:35 | <alkisg> A minimal OS is transferred to the client, and the clients boot from it. The hardware is handled by the kernel, everything autodetected...
| |
| 02:35 | mordocai has joined #ltsp | |
| 02:35 | <dyllan> alkisg, would video streaming be capable with LTSP? because it is VERY slow with XDMCP, I struggle load large flash sites, very jittery.
| |
| 02:35 | to load*
| |
| 02:36 | <alkisg> Performance-wise it'll be the same, *if* you enable LDM_DIRECTX in a configuration file called lts.conf. Without that option LTSP will be slower.
| |
| 02:36 | <muppis> Unpacked video is always performance issue.
| |
| 02:36 | <alkisg> Other players, like totem etc use XV acceleration so video is usually fine
| |
| 02:37 | But flash doesn't use XV so it sucks :)
| |
| 02:37 | You can use a lower bit depth to make it a little better
| |
| 02:37 | <dyllan> hmmm
| |
| 02:37 | <alkisg> (X_COLORDEPTH=16 in lts.conf)
| |
| 02:37 | !flash
| |
| 02:37 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "flash" :: Yes, flash sucks. Make sure you have LDM_DIRECTX=True in your lts.conf file, or if it's just youtube you're after, try some flash replacing plugin like https://addons.mozilla.org/el/firefox/addon/161869/ (per user installation, gecko-mediaplayer is also needed).
| |
| 02:38 | <dyllan> What about if I get the client to do all the processing?
| |
| 02:38 | <alkisg> CPU/RAM?
| |
| 02:38 | <dyllan> yup
| |
| 02:38 | 1.6GHz Atom
| |
| 02:38 | <alkisg> No, I mean what are the client specs?
| |
| 02:38 | <dyllan> 2GB Mem
| |
| 02:38 | www.devonit.com
| |
| 02:38 | <alkisg> Oooh that's too good to run as a thin client or with XDMCP :)
| |

| |
| 02:38 | <alkisg> !fatclients
| |
| 02:38 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "fatclients" :: You may find some info about the Ubuntu/LTSP implementation of fat clients at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
| |
| 02:38 | <alkisg> That method sends a complete netbooted OS to the client
| |
| 02:39 | You only use the server as a network disk + for authentication
| |
| 02:39 | So the client behaves exactly as if it had an OS locally installed
| |
| 02:39 | <dyllan> yea, i've tried the ubuntu Fat Client setup, and while it works quite well I would prefer to use Gentoo because I think there will be a big speed improvement.. . But alas, no wiki for that so trial and error.
| |
| 02:39 | <alkisg> Erm, why do you think that?
| |
| 02:40 | <dyllan> alkisg, That's definitely what I am looking for, and as above I have setup the Ubuntu version, works well, but I can help imagining how much faster a Gentoo version would be.. .
| |
| 02:40 | alkisg, because Gentoo compiles from source, so all packages are built specifically for the arch, there is no extra baggage.
| |
| 02:41 | <alkisg> So? I don't think that's too important...
| |
| 02:41 | <dyllan> For example, using the XDMCP method as above, Ubuntu is dog slow, as are 99% of the rest of the Linux Distro's. But using Gentoo wit hthe XDMCP methos os lightning fast.
| |
| 02:41 | <alkisg> If you were looking for lower RAM usage, OK, but I don't think CPU-wise it'll make much of a difference
| |
| 02:42 | RiXtEr has quit IRC | |
| 02:42 | <dyllan> alkisg, the problem is that now my users are used to lightning fast speed, so move them to Ubuntu they will notice the difference.. .
| |
| 02:42 | <alkisg> XDMCP == remote X. So the performance should be the same *IF* the same drivers are used
| |
| 02:42 | What graphics card do the clients have?
| |
| 02:42 | RiXtEr has joined #ltsp | |
| 02:42 | <dyllan> alkisg, agreed, however the performance on the physical server is more sluggish and thats what we see, not the XDMCP protocol that as you say is the same.
| |
| 02:43 | alkisg, Intel.. .... will have to look on the site quickly.
| |
| 02:43 | <alkisg> You can use anything on the server, as it's not used by fat clients
| |
| 02:43 | You can e.g. have an ubuntu chroot on a gentoo server
| |
| 02:43 | Which intel card exactly?
| |
| 02:44 | * alkisg has seen more than 20% performance difference between different versions of the *same* intel drivers... | |
| 02:44 | <dyllan> http://www.devonit.com/hardware/tc5-compact/technical-specifications
| |
| 02:44 | 945GSE/ICH7-M chipset
| |
| 02:45 | alkisg, noted. I tried adding gentoo / into the Ubuntu Fat Client Server that I had sucessfully setup but struggled, doesnt work exactly the same so its gonna take some more fiddling.
| |
| 02:45 | <alkisg> That should support xv / 3d / kms etc, it should work fine locally. But e.g. I think that enabling KMS on that card slows it down a bit.
| |
| 02:45 | dyllan: what struggled? The server?
| |
| 02:46 | Or the clients?
| |
| 02:46 | <dyllan> alkisg, no, I did, for example the Ubuntu setup (fat clients) the clients would load the kernel image and work fine, the Gentoo kernel however was found and tried to load but got Kernel Panic, so something was wrong.. .
| |
| 02:47 | so I struggled to get the Gentoo running under the same Ubuntu fat client env.
| |
| 02:47 | <alkisg> So it was not a successful setup :)
| |
| 02:47 | <dyllan> correct.
| |
| 02:47 | I guess the proof really is in the pudding, I will need to set it up sucessfully and test from there.
| |
| 02:47 | <alkisg> Try booting Ubuntu from a usb stick on the client. The actual fast client setup should be *much* faster because gigabit == much faster than usb stick.
| |
| 02:48 | *fat
| |
| 02:48 | <dyllan> alkisg, booting the client from a USB Ubuntu works like a charm, awesome.
| |
| 02:48 | <alkisg> If you have an external hard disk (usb), then you can use that to see the actual performance
| |
| 02:48 | dyllan: then a *correct* fat client setup will be faster
| |
| 02:49 | <dyllan> great.
| |
| 02:49 | well i best get cracking then
| |
| 02:50 | thanks for your input/help alkisg
| |
| 02:50 | <alkisg> If you see any part that is slower, then it's a misconfiguration...
| |
| 02:50 | <dyllan> much appreciated, i am certain i will revisit later for more info ;)

| 03:25 | <mssmss> Hi
| |
| 03:26 | looking for help on ltsp-build-client failure .....
| |
| 03:27 | <alkisg> !question
| |
| 03:27 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "question" :: if you have a question about ltsp, please go ahead and ask it, and people will respond if they can. please also mention the linux distro and release you're using. :)
| |
| 03:27 | <mssmss> thanks alkisg
| |
| 03:27 | ugraded edubuntu 8.04LTS to 10.04LTS
| |
| 03:28 | clients would not connect after upgrade ....
| |
| 03:28 | finally tried reinstalling ltsp
| |
| 03:28 | on ltsp build client, getting :
| |
| 03:28 | I: Base system installed successfully.
| |
| 03:28 | and then
| |
| 03:29 | error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally
| |
| 03:29 | did an strace ... output is at http://pastebin.ca/1973680
| |
| 03:32 | <alkisg> What arguments did you pass to ltsp-build-client?
| |
| 03:32 | <mssmss> trid bot with no arguments and with --arch386
| |
| 03:32 | same result
| |
| 03:32 | <alkisg> What locale are you using?
| |
| 03:32 | echo $LANG
| |
| 03:33 | <mssmss> en_IN.UTF-8
| |
| 03:36 | <alkisg> Do you still have the generated chroot or did you delete it?
| |
| 03:37 | Try: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 locale-gen en_IN.UTF-8
| |
| 03:37 | <mssmss> ok .. I'll try that
| |
| 03:38 | ok .. did that]
| |
| 03:38 | <alkisg> Any errors there?
| |
| 03:38 | <mssmss> no, came back silent
| |
| 03:38 | <alkisg> echo $?
| |
| 03:38 | What does that say?
| |
| 03:39 | <mssmss> says "$"
| |
| 03:39 | <alkisg> With the ? in the end - but it only applies exactly after the chroot... so:
| |
| 03:39 | sudo -i
| |
| 03:39 | <mssmss> ok
| |
| 03:40 | <alkisg> chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 locale-gen en_IN.UTF-8 || echo failed
| |
| 03:40 | Does that print "failed"?
| |
| 03:40 | <mssmss> echo $? gives 127
| |
| 03:40 | <alkisg> That's the problem, locale-gen doesn't work for your locale
| |
| 03:41 | <mssmss> yes , prints failes
| |
| 03:41 | <alkisg> Now try: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 locale-gen en_IN.utf8
| |
| 03:41 | Now try: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 locale-gen en_IN.utf8 || echo failed
| |
| 03:41 | ^^better that one
| |
| 03:42 | <mssmss> still get "failed"
| |
| 03:42 | <alkisg> OK the problem is that locale-gen can't handle that locale, but I don't know why
| |
| 03:43 | To workaround it, pass locale=en_US.UTF-8 to ltsp-build-client
| |
| 03:43 | <mssmss> ok .. how do I fix it ?
| |
| 03:43 | <alkisg> so, sudo ltsp-build-client --locale en_US.UTF-8
| |
| 03:44 | <mssmss> use : sudo ltsp-build-client --locale=en_US.UTF-8 ?
| |
| 03:46 | let me try that ....it takes about 10 minutes
| |
| 04:01 | I: Base system installed successfully.
| |
| 04:01 | Generating locales...
| |
| 04:01 | en_US.UTF-8... done
| |
| 04:02 | looks like it is working ... instead of the error earlier, it's now getting files...
| |
| 04:04 | <alkisg> mssmss: maybe you should file a bug against locale-gen, saying that it doesn't work for en_IN.UTF-8 nor en_IN.utf8 but it does work for plain en_IN
| |
| 04:05 | <mssmss> you mean works for en_US.UTF-8
| |
| 04:06 | <alkisg> That too, but it also works for en_NI without UTF-8 in the end
| |
| 04:06 | Try it yourself on your server
| |
| 04:06 | locale-gen en_NI.UTF-8 => fails silently
| |
| 04:06 | locale-gen en_NI => works
| |
| 04:06 | <mssmss> ok ... don't want to try anything else once this works :-)
| |
| 04:07 | <alkisg> OK, but filing a bug will help others that have your problem. Communities work by helping each other.
| |
| 04:07 | <mssmss> but will definitely file the bug
| |
| 04:10 | it's still building ...I'll wait till it finishes and test the client before filing the bug

| 04:46 | <alkisg> You're welcom
| |
| 04:46 | e
| |
| 04:47 | <elias_a> I was suggested that virtualizing LTSP server instance would be a good idea: easier backup etc.
| |
| 04:47 | Any comments or experiences?
| |
| 04:48 | <mssmss> thanks for the tip ...
| |
| 04:48 | <elias_a> My first intuition is "why bother"... I would in any case dedicate the server box to LTSP use and not mess up with anything else.
| |
| 04:48 | * alkisg follows the same intuition too... :) but lots of people here use virtualization | |
| 04:50 | mssmss has quit IRC | |
| 04:50 | <alkisg> I'm using a second partition for backup, so that I can immediately boot it in failures to minimize downtime
| |
| 04:51 | <elias_a> I guess with present hw and virtualization techniques the speed will not be an issue.
| |
| 04:51 | <alkisg> But if you want to move the installation to a different server, then you also have to delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules so that eth0 doesn't get a different name
| |
| 04:52 | Current virtualization techniques also offer live server migration, which is something you cannot do when running on native hardware
| |
| 04:52 | <elias_a> We are setting up 2 servers with SW Raid and thinking what new tricks we should be thinking of...
| |
| 04:53 | Is there a howto on LTSP & virtualization somewhere?
| |
| 04:53 | <alkisg> I don't think there is, since it isn't ltsp-specific. Any generic how-tos will do...
| |
| 04:55 | <elias_a> I wonder how SW RAID will behave perfomancewise in such a setup...
| |
| 04:58 | Da-Geek has joined #ltsp | |
| 05:00 | <alkisg> Are they independent servers or are you using ltsp-cluster?
| |
| 05:06 | <elias_a> They are separate, independent servers.
| |
| 05:08 | We thought of setting up a cluster but as another small town raised hand shouting "we want to have one, too" we are taking them to different places.
| |
| 05:18 | <alkisg> I'd like to see some software raid benchmarks too, especially compared to using separate, non-raid disks for / and for /home

| |
| 06:35 | elias_a: using KVM on Ubuntu
| |
| 06:35 | <muppis> I run both (server and client) in my isolated test network with KVM.
| |
| 06:36 | <pmatulis> muppis: yes, thin clients as KVM guests are great for testing
| |
| 06:37 | <muppis> pmatulis, also bridged one of KVM host's nic to same network for possibility to have real HW client.
| |
| 06:37 | <pmatulis> muppis: yup, i've done that too :)

| 06:48 | <arthurl> hi
| |
| 06:48 | i've migrated from a normal ltsp to an ltsp-cluster
| |
| 06:49 | with the new radeon driver I'm getting high loads on the thin clients that I wasn't getting before
| |
| 06:50 | one idea is that we used to be in XAA and now it uses EXA
| |
| 06:50 | we used to switch using X_OPTION_01 which doesn't appear in the web interface used to configure the new clients

| 07:01 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
| 07:07 | <elias_a> pmatulis, muppis: Thank you! Why did you guys choose KVM above other alternatives?
| |
| 07:08 | <muppis> elias_a, we already got KVM based virtuals running.
| |
| 07:08 | <elias_a> Is this channel logged publicly? May I quote text in a message on a publicly archived mailing list?
| |
| 07:08 | <pmatulis> elias_a: it should be logged, yes
| |
| 07:09 | <elias_a> muppis: So you did not really do any comparison with the specific needs of LTSP?
| |
| 07:09 | <muppis> elias_a, nope.
| |
| 07:09 | <elias_a> pmatulis: I presume that means it's OK to quote, then...
| |
| 07:09 | <pmatulis> elias_a: normally we don't paste much text at once in irc channels though
| |
| 07:09 | elias_a: best to use a pastebin
| |
| 07:10 | <muppis> elias_a, as we got only one production LTSP in use, so I'm very newbie with this thing.
| |
| 07:12 | <elias_a> pmatulis: I meant the other way around: I am going to quote discussion of this channel elsewhere. On a mailing list.
| |
| 07:13 | <pmatulis> elias_a: why?
| |
| 07:13 | <elias_a> It would be a breach of privacy if someone thought that this is not a public channel. But as this is publicly logged, it is not an issue enymore.
| |
| 07:13 | anymore.
| |
| 07:14 | pmatulis: Pardon me but I do not understand what you are asking? Do you mean "why do you want to quote IRC discussions elsewhere"?
| |
| 07:15 | <pmatulis> elias_a: yes
| |
| 07:16 | <elias_a> pmatulis: We have a list of FLOSS people at schools of approx. 60 subscribers all over Finland. They are not following this channel. I am going to address them the same question: "pros/cons/experiences of LTSP virtualization".
| |
| 07:17 | And quote the discussion we had here. Any objections?
| |
| 07:18 | mgariepy has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:18 | <pmatulis> elias_a: well, you're free to do what your want but the best is to digest what you've learned, here and elsewhere, and then post your conclusions on your list in your own words. we're not a definitive resource here
| |
| 07:21 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
| 07:22 | <elias_a> pmatulis: Exactly. My goal is to ask the guys and girls what they think about it. That discussion is in Finnish. The final reports are very likely to be in English.

| 07:42 | <_UsUrPeR_> arthurl: I just read what you have typed. Are you trying to make changes to the lts.conf in the directory structure, or are you using the cluster control configuration manager?
| |
| 07:48 | <arthurl> _UsUrPeR_, am using the cluster control configuration manager
| |
| 07:57 | ogra_ac has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:02 | <_UsUrPeR_> arthurl: ok, and what setting were you using with X_OPTION_01
| |
| 08:04 | <arthurl> X_OPTION_1='\"AccelMethod\" \"xaa\"'
| |
| 08:05 | <_UsUrPeR_> arthurl: ok. I assume there's a blank field to enter that option in the cluster control manager. Is that correct?
| |
| 08:05 | <arthurl> i don't see any blank field
| |
| 08:05 | or maybe it's X_ARGS (undocumented)
| |
| 08:06 | <_UsUrPeR_> oh, ok. So an option needs to be added then.
| |
| 08:06 | Or a blank field.
| |
| 08:06 | hmm
| |
| 08:06 | <arthurl> for example
| |
| 08:06 | I don't know why the attributes shown is a subset of the attributes available for lts.conf
| |
| 08:08 | [GuS] has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:11 | <arthurl> _UsUrPeR_, do you work on the configuration manager's code, or do I have to file a bug somewhere ?
| |
| 08:12 | another missing parameter is LOCAL_DEVs
| |
| 08:14 | <_UsUrPeR_> arthurl: Unfortunately I do not. You will want to be speaking to Stefan Graber (stgraber) about proposed changes to cluster.
| |
| 08:14 | I believe he is the project head
| |
| 08:15 | <arthurl> is there a bugtracker?
| |
| 08:19 | <stgraber> arthurl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp-cluster/+filebug
| |
| 08:20 | <arthurl> stgraber, ok, will file a bug
| |
| 08:23 | mistik1_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:24 | <arthurl> stgraber, is it a missing feature or i'm missing something ?
| |
| 08:25 | <stgraber> arthurl: there's a tool to add additional parameters
| |
| 08:25 | arthurl: adding all parameters would make the interface impossible to use as there's several hundreds of these
| |
| 08:26 | <arthurl> fair enough
| |
| 08:26 | is the tool control-center.py ?
| |
| 08:26 | mistik1 has quit IRC | |
| 08:26 | mistik1_ is now known as mistik1 | |
| 08:26 | <stgraber> yep
| |
| 08:26 | it takes a configuration file as parameter that contains the list of attributes to add to the control center
| |
| 08:27 | <arthurl> stgraber, is it safe to use on an existing database?
| |
| 08:27 | <sbalneav> Morning all
| |
| 08:27 | <stgraber> as long as you at least have all of you current attributes listed in the file, it shouldn't try to remove them
| |
| 08:27 | though it'll clean up the log
| |
| 08:28 | <arthurl> and status and computershw (what are these?)
| |
| 08:28 | <stgraber> arthurl: if you want to restrict it to just update the attributes, modifiy the .py script to only call UpdateAttributes() (at the end of the file
| |
| 08:29 | status is a table containing the current status of all thin clients, it'll get regenerated as thin clients request information from the control center
| |
| 08:29 | ogra_ac has quit IRC | |
| 08:29 | <stgraber> computershw is the hardware inventory, it'll get regenerated at the same time as status
| |
| 08:29 | <arthurl> ok
| |
| 08:31 | stgraber, did I miss the documentation of this script or it doesn't exist ?
| |
| 08:32 | <stgraber> arthurl: doesn't exist (as far as I know)
| |
| 08:33 | arthurl: we don't work much on the current control center, mostly focusing our efforts on the new one (though still quite far from having something ready to be used)
| |
| 08:34 | <arthurl> stgraber, anything published that we can look at ?
| |
| 08:34 | <stgraber> arthurl: https://www.ltsp-cluster.org/documentation/technical-introduction#_LTSP-Cluster_as_we_see_it_in_the_future_ explains the idea
| |
| 08:35 | arthurl: http://ltsp-control01.stgraber.org/loadbalancer/overview for an example of one of the plugins
| |
| 08:36 | <arthurl> any ETA for a new release ?
| |
| 08:37 | (sorry for so many questions but I want to use LTSP-cluster but with current small difficulties I need to convince my company)
| |
| 08:38 | <stgraber> arthurl: not really, I'm currently working on the daemon that'll run on the application servers and on the thin clients. I'll then try to have this daemon talk to the old control center so I can drop the old client code.
| |
| 08:38 | arthurl: once that's done, I'll be able to start working on the control center and modifiy the daemon to use it progressively
| |
| 08:40 | arthurl: if I can continue at the same rate, I should have something that sort-of works in a few months. Then a few of our customers and partners said they'd be interested in contributing, so hopefully the development should go a lot faster then

| 10:55 | <hahlo> installed wine and spotify on ltsp server, it doesn't seem to work well, starts but then stops, wonder is this ltsp issue?
| |
| 10:56 | <alkisg> It shouldn't have to do anything with LTSP. Try running it from the command line to see any error messages.
| |
| 10:57 | <hahlo> I got some strange line about sound device
| |
| 10:58 | <alkisg> While running that on a thin client? What line?
| |
| 10:59 | <hahlo> ixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer
| |
| 10:59 | fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer
| |
| 11:00 | strange cause sound device is realtek
| |
| 11:02 | reason is cause nvidia card got hdmi out but I don't use that sound
| |
| 11:04 | <Kyle__> hahlo: Out of morbid curiosity, WHY?
| |
| 11:04 | Da-Geek has quit IRC | |
| 11:05 | <hahlo> Kyle__: hehe I just thought that sound comes out from that audio device where I can plug speakers, but I don't know which one this ltsp use
| |
| 11:06 | <Kyle__> hahlo: No, I meant why the hell would you put wine and spotify on a a server responsible for running multiple machines.
| |
| 11:07 | <hahlo> ah, just for curiosity
| |
| 11:07 | <Kyle__> hahlo: The only way to do it (and I"m not saying htis is a good idea), is to insulate it as much as possible, probabyl by using a VM condom.
| |
| 11:07 | hahlo: Ah I see.
| |
| 11:07 | * Kyle__ nods | |
| 11:08 | <Kyle__> I admit, I've done worse for curiosities sake. But I still say a proper VM environment like vbox or kvm would be a nicer way of dealing with it ;)
| |
| 11:09 | <hahlo> but where sound come out generally in ltsp, I mean I hear it from client laptop speakers but does it use client sound card or server?
| |
| 11:09 | <abeehc> client
| |
| 11:09 | <Kyle__> Sorry, I've only used fat clients, so I'm not as familar with the thin client stuff.
| |
| 11:10 | <hahlo> ok I see
| |
| 11:10 | <abeehc> most purpose made thin clients have a proper speaker inside
| |
| 11:10 | and they just make noise, sometimes when you don't want them too
| |
| 11:11 | <Kyle__> abeehc: Are they generally OK when they've got a mic/headphone jack?
| |
| 11:12 | <hahlo> I noticed that I don't see that speaker applet on panel
| |
| 11:12 | <Kyle__> hahlo: On the clients? Did you put them in the right groups?
| |
| 11:12 | <hahlo> yes
| |
| 11:13 | oh no
| |
| 11:13 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:13 | <hahlo> should I put clients on some group? (IÍ„'m very new on ltsp)
| |
| 11:14 | chupacabra has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:14 | <Kyle__> Yes, and which group depends on what distro you're using.
| |
| 11:15 | <hahlo> ubuntu 10.10
| |
| 11:17 | <Kyle__> hahlo: I think then you just need the audio group.
| |
| 11:17 | <abeehc> Kyle__: in my experience it works pretty well yeah
| |
| 11:18 | i think the applet tends to work for me
| |
| 11:18 | * Kyle__ nods | |
| 11:18 | <Kyle__> it works on my fat clients. And if the user isn't (because I was adding them in a rush, or was feeling mean, whatever), it doesn't.
| |
| 11:18 | <abeehc> it's all about the client hardware though on some level.. my clients have a headphone jack in the front; but plugging into that doesn't cause the internal speakr to shutup
| |
| 11:18 | so not ideal
| |
| 11:18 | <Kyle__> abeehc: Ugh.
| |
| 11:19 | <abeehc> but for the most part my clients doesn't need sound
| |
| 11:19 | <hahlo> should I add user on that group or what?
| |
| 11:19 | I mean ain't user on server?
| |
| 11:20 | <abeehc> i'm not sure it's neccesary
| |
| 11:20 | <Kyle__> abeehc: Last week was the first time anyone needed audio on my clients, and they've been in place and in use since May.
| |
| 11:20 | <abeehc> yeah i hear that
| |
| 11:20 | my client users aren't in the audio group on the server
| |
| 11:21 | sound still works.. i think for the normal thin client setup it's not neccesary
| |
| 11:21 | I'm often wrong though
| |
| 11:21 | <Kyle__> Oh. Hu. Must be something with the fat client stuff then.
| |
| 11:21 | <abeehc> Kyle__: the only time i hear about it is due to asterisk emailing voicemail .wav files hehe
| |
| 11:22 | ogra_ac has joined #ltsp | |

| 11:22 | <Kyle__> abeehc: Neat, you guys you asterisk?
| |
| 11:22 | * Kyle__ nods | |
| 11:23 | <abeehc> :)
| |
| 11:23 | <Kyle__> Users exist only as our foil.
| |
| 11:23 | Or fodder. Depends on mood.

| 11:26 | <Kyle__> At this job I have the flexibility to pull that off (usually). My old gig, they said they would for cost-savings, but shied away half the time.
