| 08:57 | <hahlo> more newbie questions about ltsp-fatclient, noticed that it see client's builtin bluetooth but not client builtin wifi, is it possible to use client's wifi too? what about client's disk can one make fatclient to see it?

| 10:29 | <alkisg> hahlo: does the wifi work if you boot the fat client from a usb stick? (and, why would you want to use it?)
| |
| 10:30 | Any user in the "admin" group can mount the client disk from the gnome "Places" menu.
| |
| 10:40 | artista_frustrad has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:51 | <hahlo> alkisg: yes it does if I boot on usb stick, no reason just curious again
| |
| 10:52 | <alkisg> hahlo: probably a missing module then, if you wanted to add it you'd follow that page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/AddingModules
| |
| 10:52 | <hahlo> ok thanks
| |
| 10:53 | alkisg: tell me why fat client seems faster than thin client even with very modest hardware like atom 270 2gb ram? and thin client could use server's 4 cpus
| |
| 10:54 | <alkisg> That hardware isn't modest :D
| |
| 10:55 | On thin clients the screens travel through the network, that makes them slower for any multimedia apps like web browsing etc
| |
| 10:55 | <hahlo> ah ok I see
| |
| 10:55 | <alkisg> And e.g. 10 clients using 4 CPUs are slower than 10 clients using their own 10 CPUs
| |
| 10:56 | For any labs with > 512 MB RAM and > 1 GHz CPU, I'm using fat clients instead of thin.
| |
| 11:03 | <hahlo> all my clients are laptops and notebooks, I think I use fat too

| 20:15 | <sutula> Does anyone here know of a howto, or know how to debug ltsp-localapps? It works fine if my /home/[username] is local to the server, but if /home is an nfsmount, it does not get mounted on the thin client.
| |
| 20:15 | This is with older Debian Lenny, so perhaps it works better with recent code?
| |
| 20:15 | <vagrantc> sutula: it just uses sshfs ... so you could try mounting sshfs manually
| |
| 20:15 | sutula: with backports?
| |
| 20:16 | <sutula> I think so
| |
| 20:16 | * sutula would have to look | |
| 20:16 | <sutula> vagrantc: OK, so the server code in the client uses sshfs internally...I think that's what you're saying?
| |
| 20:18 | <vagrantc> sutula: the thin-client essentially uses sshfs to mount the user's homedir on the thin-client
| |
| 20:18 | essentially sshfs $USER@$SERVER:/home/$USER /home/$USER
| |
| 20:19 | * vagrantc forgets the exact syntax | |
| 20:19 | <sutula> That looks right
| |
| 20:20 | Thanks...I'll see if I can work with that
| |
| 20:20 | It certainly explains why it doesn't work nfs-mounted to a different machine
| |
| 20:21 | vagrantc: How is life these days...haven't talked to you (IRC) in perhaps over a year
| |
| 20:22 | <vagrantc> a little crazy. LTSP has been relatively stable... though there's been a rush of recent LDM restructuring that i've only barely been paying attention to
| |
| 20:22 | <sutula> vagrantc: Did you ever finish your DD process?
| |
| 20:22 | <vagrantc> debian's in freeze, so i need to not get too attached to any features in development for a while :)
| |
| 20:22 | sutula: oh, yes!
| |
| 20:23 | <sutula> vagrantc: Congrats!
| |
| 20:23 | <vagrantc> sutula: thanks!
| |
| 20:23 | sutula: early this year
| |
| 20:23 | <sutula> Good
| |
| 20:23 | I got swamped at work and haven't worked on it any more...my AM has been generous in not kicking me out of the process.
| |
| 20:24 | <vagrantc> sutula: i've been tinkering with debian on an arm thin-client ... the efikamx
| |
| 20:25 | * sutula needs to update his thin clients with something more capable than 256M RAM and slow graphics, but hasn't had time to see what's out there | |
| 20:26 | <vagrantc> i hear ya
| |
| 20:26 | <sutula> I need to run mythfrontend on the clients
| |
| 20:27 | <vagrantc> i've been wanting to try out the fatclient approach a lot more ... since we've always used old desktops anyways ... may as well use powerful ones :)
| |
| 20:27 | * sutula nods | |
| 20:28 | <vagrantc> the desktops we're getting are getting nearly as powerful as the servers we're getting
