I mounted hacked Lacie 2Big via nfs to server. Trying to mount those directories to nfs shared homes, but mkdir fails. Any hint?
02:40
mount --bind fails, symlink point to local directory, not to servers one.

Ok, getting forward. Can put mounting nfs to thin's fstab as usually or is there any special place for this?
03:53
<alkisg>
muppis: NFS_HOME=server:/dir in lts.conf
03:54
..and NFS_HOME_OPTIONS
03:54
(if your ltsp version is recent enough)
03:55
<Trixboxer>
alkisg: hi mate
03:55
<alkisg>
Good morning
03:55
<Trixboxer>
good afternoon
03:55
<muppis>
alkisg, but does that mount for home dir?
03:56
<alkisg>
muppis: yes, you want some other dir?
03:56
<muppis>
Yes.
03:56
<alkisg>
I'm not sure if the existing fstab in the chroot is respected or if regenerated on each boot on the fly
03:56
Try it, and if it doesn't work, then you'd need to add some startup script
03:57
<muppis>
At least, file already exist. I'll try.
03:57
<alkisg>
muppis: at least on Debian/Ubuntu, I think it's regenerated:
03:57
ltsp-trunk/client/initscripts/ltsp-init-common: echo "/dev/root / rootfs defaults 0 0" > /etc/fstab
03:58
So you'd need to add or modify a startup script..
03:58
<muppis>
Ok, thanks.

hi
04:01
I can't find references to configure-x.sh
04:01
is this deprecated ?
04:03
<alkisg>
arthurl: /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ltsp/configure-x.sh
04:03
The CONFIGURE_X=True lts.conf directive is deprecated, but not the shell script which automatically handles that now
04:04
<arthurl>
alkisg, I can't get X_OPTION_01 to work...
04:04
alkisg, I want to force AccelMethod to xaa
04:04
<alkisg>
What do you want to put there?
04:04
Try X_OPTION_01='"AccelMethod" "XAA"'
04:05ogra has quit IRC
04:05
<alkisg>
If that doesn't work, then backslashes would be needed...
04:05
!lts.conf
04:05
<ltspbot>
alkisg: "lts.conf" :: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
04:05
<arthurl>
alkisg, have tried that already
04:06
<alkisg>
Another example there ^^^
04:06
<arthurl>
am using ltsp-cluster if that makes a difference
04:06
<alkisg>
So what do you get int xorg.conf now?
04:06
No idea about cluster, but check if your client xorg.conf contains what you put there
04:06
<arthurl>
i don't get any xorg.conf
04:07
<alkisg>
Try also adding CONFIGURE_X=True, but if that's needed, then it's a bug because it should happen automatically
04:07
<arthurl>
alkisg, added that too, with no effect!
04:08
<alkisg>
And maybe -cluster uses some different method to send lts.conf parameters, I've never used that but I think it's using something web-based...
04:09
<arthurl>
alkisg, am adding the properties in the web interface which gets downloaded in /var/cache/getltscfg-cluster/lts.conf
04:09
<alkisg>
So with getltscfg[-cluster?] -a in the client, do you see the setting?
04:10
<arthurl>
yes

<alkisg>
What if you put X_MODE_0=<the mode you're already using> ? Are you getting a xorg.conf then?
04:12
<arthurl>
let me try that
04:14
still no xorg.conf!
04:14
<alkisg>
Where are you looking for a xorg.conf?
04:15
Try ps -ef | grep -i xorg on the client...
04:15
<arthurl>
/etc/X11/
04:15
<alkisg>
I don't think it gets put there, I think it goes in /var/run
04:15
<arthurl>
wow
04:15
OK.
04:15
<alkisg>
Try the ps command above
04:15
<arthurl>
/var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf
04:15
got it
04:16
<alkisg>
OK, so now check again without X_MODE_0
04:16
...and paste the X_OPTION_01 line that gets there
04:16
<arthurl>
do you know if caps on XAA matters?

Someone had posted a link where Finland LTSP installations showed up in a google map... anyone remembers the link?
04:34

alkisg: Here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=fi&msa=0&msid=108602642792299127542.00047c8e079f3cf3e9aa5&z=6
04:34
"I made this!" ;-)
04:34
With a lot of help from my friends :)
04:34
<alkisg>
Thank you elias_a!
04:34
I think we'll make one for Greece, too
04:35
<elias_a>
alkisg: Please do that!
04:35
<alkisg>
Are you yourself putting all the pins? Or are the schools allowed to put their own?
04:35
<elias_a>
alkisg: The schools may put their own.
04:35
<alkisg>
Perfect!
04:35
<elias_a>
Actually - we could make a pan-European map :)
04:37
<alkisg>
Good idea! Could you provide a small how-to?
04:38
<elias_a>
alkisg: It is quite simple - you just create a map with some pointed entries and tell the folks to follow the same scheme.
04:38
I did have a mailing list that helped promoting.

hi everyone
08:50
for some reason, there is a huge lag when people are typing into the terminal when using LTSP. Has anyone come across this?
08:51
<robehend1>
rickogden: Never came across that, myself.
08:52
<rickogden>
it's strange, the resources are fine... but it's becoming near unusable when a large number of people are on it
08:52
<robehend1>
rickogden: Have you checked the LTSP server's hard disk? I've found that to be a bottleneck before
08:52
<rickogden>
I haven't, I'll do an IO/top
08:53
for some reason this only happens on LTSP though, if they use NX it's fine
08:53
<robehend1>
rickogden: Weird. You'd think it be the same between both..
08:53
<rickogden>
yeah exactly
08:55
<robehend1>
rickogden: Is it only in the terminal, or all other programs as well
08:56
<rickogden>
it only seems to be terminal
08:56
and it's typing
08:57
<robehend1>
rickogden: odd.
09:02

Morning all

Ubuntu 8.04 Question - trying to run firefox as another user so I can muck around with their settings. Keep getting the "Cannot open display: localhost:17.0" message. How can I construct the command (sudo, su, xhost?) such that the app shows on my current TC display?
12:20
<Gadi>
xhost +; su <username> -c firefox
12:20
should work
12:21litlebuda has joined #ltsp
12:25
<Blinny>
Bully. Cheers Gadi, thank you.
12:25
<Gadi>
bully bully
12:25
my pleasure
12:26
<Blinny>
Hrm. No love, same error. I'll read into xhost a bit.
12:26
And I'm just typing this into a standard 'ol gnome-terminal, yes?
12:27
<Gadi>
yup
12:27
but, maybe try:
12:27
<Blinny>
Bummer!
12:27
<Gadi>
su -c 'DISPLAY=<thinclientIP>:7 firefox'
12:27
er
12:27
sorry
12:28
su <username> -c 'DISPLAY=<thinclientIP>:7 firefox'
12:30
<Blinny>
That makes more sense. Just a local ENV. But still no love. $ xhost +; su $USERNAME -c 'DISPLAY=192.168.1.177:7 firefox' where .1.177 is my TC's IP yes?
12:30
<Gadi>
yeah
12:31
try: DISPLAY=192.168.1.177:7 xhost +
12:31
and then repeat the su command
12:31
<Blinny>
xhost: unable to open display "192.168.1.177:7"
12:31
<AndyGraybeal>
what if i would like to cluster simply for high-availability (if one machin fails, the other own takes over)?
12:32
<Gadi>
is LDM running on screen 7?
12:33
<Blinny>
Yeh - ctrl+alt+f7 gives me my display.
12:38
<Gadi>
Blinny: the issue seems to be in the SSH X forwarding - see: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/ssh/ch09_03.htm
12:39
Blinny: if the user has access to your ~/.Xauthority, you could do:
12:40
su <username> -c 'XAUTHORITY=~<you>/.Xauthority firefox'
12:47
<Blinny>
TY ..reading..
12:48
I guess I could script a chmod in there
12:50
Ok right on. chmod'ing my home dir and .Xauthority does that trick.
12:50
<alkisg>
Blinny: alternatively, ssh -X otheruser@localhost firefox ?
12:51
<Gadi>
Blinny: keep in mind, by chmod'ing, you weaken your security, so you may want to change it back when you are done
12:51
:)

ah, alkisg bring up a very good point

Gadi: I hate those web app install guides that start off with "Step 1: chmod 777 * -R"
12:51
<Gadi>
highvoltage: hehe
12:52* highvoltage know knows what Gadi's "hehe" sounds like
12:52
<highvoltage>
*now knows
12:52
<Blinny>
Dig the security issue
12:53alexqwesa_ has quit IRC
12:53* Gadi realizes his "hehe" prolly keeps him out of the spy business
12:53
<crazed>
hm how do you get dual monitor support in ltsp5?
12:53
<cliebow>
Gadi: ever come across error 12 in openldap?
12:54
<highvoltage>
all my beeping devices keeps me out of the spy business :-/
12:54
<Gadi>
oh no! not error 12!
12:54
anything but error 12!
12:54
<cliebow>
never seen it before
12:54
<Gadi>
actually, no - cant say that I have
12:54
:)
12:55
<cliebow>
control unavailable in context..whatever that means
12:55* cliebow cliebow hears Gadi giggle 8~)
12:55
<Blinny>
alkisg: Kickass.
12:55
Thank you Gadi, thank you alkisg
12:57
<Gadi>
crazed: what driver?
12:57
cliebow: what command did u execute to get that error
12:58
<alkisg>
Blinny: and if sometime you don't have the other user's password but you have root access, you can just copy your ssh id to his ~/.ssh
12:58
<crazed>
Gadi: the thin clients are running nvidia
12:58
<cliebow>
it is a query from something called papercut..to sync accounts fro print services
12:58
<crazed>
ah this is weird.. seems the default config in ubuntu has the thin client doing all the work
12:58
<Gadi>
crazed: you prolly only need to specify X_VIRTUAL in lts.conf
12:59
if it is not automagic
12:59
<crazed>
i just realized my bash prompts and various commands were running locally and not on the ltsp server
13:00
how do i change that? sorry if these are noob questions.. i got the task of migrating from our old ubuntu 7.04 system to a brand new one
13:00alexqwesa has joined #ltsp
13:01
<Gadi>
crazed: u built a regular chroot or a fat client chroot?
13:02
<crazed>
should be a regular chroot
13:02
i used ltsp-build-image --arch=i386
13:03
ltsp-build-client *
13:03
<Gadi>
then, your gnome terminal should be on the server
13:03
<crazed>
but the output is from the thin client
13:03
because it's only showing 512mb of ram vs 16gb
13:03
<Gadi>
when you type "free"?
13:03
<crazed>
yes
13:04
<Gadi>
that is odd
13:04
you are not in an ltsp-localapps xterm, are you?
13:04
<crazed>
umm
13:04
how can i verify i'm not
13:05
<Gadi>
launch a new gnome terminal from the applications meny
13:05
*menu
13:05
<crazed>
yeah it's definitely from the thin client
13:05
the hostname even returns the ws139 hostname
13:05
rather than the servers
13:06
this would explain why somethings were running slowly hm
13:06
<Gadi>
you didnt install ubuntu-desktop in the chroot, did you?
13:06
<alkisg>
crazed: on the thin client, cat /etc/ltsp_fat_chroot
13:06
Is there such a file?
13:07
(or on the server, /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp_fat_chroot
13:08
<crazed>
$ cat /etc/ltsp_chroot
13:08
LTSP_CHROOT=/opt/ltsp/i386
13:08
<alkisg>
No, fat chroot
13:08
<crazed>
there's no ltsp_fat_chroot though
13:08
<alkisg>
OK, then there's something *wrong* with your setup
13:08
You didn't install fat clients, and installing ubuntu-desktop wouldn't have caused local logins...
13:09
<crazed>
hm
13:09
<alkisg>
Are you using gdm with some local user?
13:09
<crazed>
i'm using gdm
13:09
and the user only exists on the server in the chroot
13:09
<alkisg>
OK, that's your first problem :)
13:09
LTSP doesn't work that way.
13:09
<crazed>
oh?
13:09
<alkisg>
You need the default display manager, LDM
13:10
<crazed>
it's installed
13:10
<alkisg>
...and you don't need any users on the chroot
13:10
If you login with ldm, you login to the serer
13:10
*server
13:10
<crazed>
they only exist on the server then?
13:10
ah this makes sense
13:10
<alkisg>
Yes
13:10
<crazed>
when i first booted, it must have been ldm
13:10
because the server user i had worked, but i had no wm installed at the time
13:10
<alkisg>
How did you install gdm? It doesn't get installed by default...
13:10
<crazed>
then i installed ubuntu-desktop and gdm was changed to the default
13:10
<alkisg>
You need a WM at the server, not on the chroot
13:11
So start again from scratch, it'll be easier
13:11
<crazed>
just the chroot though right?
13:11
i don't need to reinstall the server?
13:11
<alkisg>
Yes
13:11
No
13:11
<crazed>
good
13:12Selveste1 has quit IRC
13:12
<crazed>
so, i need the wm on the server, not in the chroot?
13:12
<alkisg>
Right
13:12
<crazed>
installing ubuntu-desktop won't make gdm the default?
13:12
<alkisg>
(unless you want to use fat clients, which is a different story)
13:13
<crazed>
nah the thin clients aren't powerful enough for that
13:13
<alkisg>
It'll make gdm the default for your server, but the chroot won't be affected
13:13
<crazed>
ah! oka
13:13
y
13:13
things are making more sense now
13:19rjune has quit IRC
13:21
<crazed>
this is random and might not be possible, but how would you use nx to handle drawing X and stuff. basically i want server side compression before sending it down to the thin clients
13:21
<Blinny>
crazed: Over a LAN? At what cost?
13:21
<crazed>
yes over a lan
13:22
<Blinny>
Are you that starved for bandwidth?
13:22
<crazed>
no
13:22
i guess not
13:23
i just want things to be a fast/responsive as possible
13:23
<Blinny>
Then you don't want nx.
13:23
Get your TCs running things directly on the server. You'll be pleased.
13:23Selveste1 has joined #ltsp
13:23
<crazed>
right now it looks like i'm running everything on the tc
13:24
should i run only certain applications locally?
13:24
like web browsers
13:24
<Blinny>
Right. Just stick to the defaults (everything on server), get that working, and then start experimenting.
13:24
Depends on your TC hardware and server environment.
13:25
<crazed>
server's pretty nice, TC hardware is.. like 512mb ram and 1ghz amd athlons
13:25
<Blinny>
I have 22 users on my local machine right now. 5-minute load is .5 I have no reason to go through the localapps hoops so I can't give a lot of info about that initiative.
13:25
<crazed>
what's your machine look like specs wise
13:26
<Blinny>
dual-proc quad-core machine, 8GB RAM with SCSI RAID-1 / and RAID-5 /home
13:26
It's brilliant.
13:32gorkhaan has joined #ltsp
13:44
<crazed>
nice
13:44
i got dual quad core with 16gb of ram
13:44
raid 1, and nfs for home

crazed: yes! thanks :)

tftpd-hpa doesn't follow symlinks, how anoying :<
13:53
<alkisg>
mnemoc: there's an option to allow that
13:53
It's not enabled by default for security reasons

crazed: With the obvious caveat of depending on how many TCs you plan to run, that server sounds like it should handle quite a bit.
13:55
<crazed>
good to hear
13:56
probably about 10-20 per ltsp

it follows symlinks
14:38
just need to be relative to the root
14:39
<mnemoc>
ifcpu64.c32 -> /usr/lib/syslinux/ifcpu64.c32 was not been seen, not even when using --permissive instead of --secure
14:40
I had to copy it to /var/lib/tftpboot directly
14:40
<Gadi>
of course it isnt - because that's not relative
14:40
<mnemoc>
-vv
14:40
<Gadi>
but you could do: foo -> bar
14:40
or foo -> ../bar
14:40robehend1 has joined #ltsp
14:41
<Gadi>
as long as foo and bar are in the same secured tftp root
14:41
<mnemoc>
so ../../../usr/lib/syslinux/ifcpu64.c32 would have passed?
14:41
ok
14:41
<Gadi>
if /var/lib/tftpboot is the tftp root
14:41
then, anything under there can be symlinked to
14:41
if you make the symlink relative
14:41
because the client will only see /
14:42
which is what makes it secure
14:42
<mnemoc>
so the symlink is resolved by the client??
14:42
<Gadi>
let's say you have:
14:42
/var/lib/tftpboot/foo
14:42
/var/lib/tftpboot/bar
14:42
/var/lib/tftpboot/bar/baz
14:43
the client sees:
14:43
/foo
14:43
/bar
14:43
/bar/baz
14:43
<mnemoc>
sure
14:43
<cliebow>
bar/f;y
14:43
<Gadi>
so, baz can be: baz -> ../foo
14:43
and that works just fine
14:43
<mnemoc>
so the symlink is resolved by the client? or the server is impossible more security that what I want?
14:44
imposing*
14:44
<Gadi>
but if you have: baz -> /some/unkown/path/outside/the/root
14:44
then, it cannot see it
14:44
<mnemoc>
i didn't know tftp passes symlinks as symlinks to the client
14:44
<Gadi>
by the client
14:44
yeah
14:44
<mnemoc>
I gave for granted it was resolved server side
14:45
<Gadi>
the idea is that the client cannot go out of that secure root
14:45
<mnemoc>
so baz -> ../foo will first fetch baz and then fetch foo, which is "wasteful"
14:45
<Gadi>
I don't know that baz is fetched
14:45
I think it will only feth foo
14:45
*fetch
14:46
but, if you had: baz -> /tmp/foo
14:46
you had better have a: /var/lib/tftpboot/tmp/foo
14:46
:)
14:50
<mnemoc>
it should follow symlinks regardless where they point as far as the unix permissions allow it, not try to be "over-smart" and fake a chroot
14:50* Gadi didn't write it :)
14:51
<mnemoc>
=)
14:58
<robehend1>
out of curiosity, do I have any other K-12 admins in here?

<alkisg>
mnemoc: you'd need to remove "--secure" from the tftpd-hpa configuration file
15:21
This uses a chroot
15:22
<mnemoc>
alkisg: I started getting "Forbidden directory" then
15:23
no idea what sort of self-castration tftp-hpa does, but the whole path is world readable
15:24
but i gave up on symlinks, copied over the files and added a line to the script that updates the chroots to keep them up-to-date
15:26
<alkisg>
mnemoc: looks like a tftpd-hpa bug, when you don't use --secure then the client needs to specify the full path (e.g. /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf)
15:27
From the docs I'd assume it would prepend the TFTP_DIRECTORY by itself...
15:27
<mnemoc>
.oO
15:28
<alkisg>
Hmmm it does check the path though
15:28
So maybe this behavior is documented somewhere
15:28
(i.e. it doesn't allow reading stuff outside of the TFTP_DIRECTORY)
15:29
<mnemoc>
i understand that restricvtion in webservers where different people writes stuff... but tftp? that's root-only realm
15:29
<alkisg>
symlinks work fine though
15:29
mnemoc: imagine someone getting your /etc/passwd...
15:30
<mnemoc>
only if root puts a symlink to /etc/passwd there
15:30
in that case, stupid root deserves the punishment
15:31
<alkisg>
I thought you were objecting to the directory checking... sure, tftpd-hpa does directory checking so I don't see any problems with its implementation except for the part where one needs to specify the full path
15:32
<mnemoc>
i'm ranting about the censorship to my absolute symlinks :)
15:32
<alkisg>
(which is probably just a documentation problem, not an implementation problem)
15:33
<mnemoc>
but as i wont write my own tftp, i'll have to accept hpa choices
15:33
<alkisg>
Well, using a chroot gives some additional safety in case an admin does an rsync -av or something without checking for symlinks
15:33
dnsmasq doesn't use chroots by default
15:35
Ah, there's the reason for the path thing: "Access to files can, and should, be restricted by invoking tftpd with a list of directories by including pathnames as server program arguments on the command line."
15:36mgariepy has quit IRC

<alkisg>
....so if it allows for multiple directories, that's why it uses full paths

<mnemoc>
never expected a sort of "unionfs" built-in on tftp-hpa :)
15:42
<alkisg>
Heh, just directory checking when --secure isn't set... it makes sense after going through the docs

how cna i change the login stuff for ldm
21:58
er.. how do i use pam_radius_auth with ldm
21:59
oh it uses the same auth as ssh? if i'm reading this properly
22:05
another question, currently we have a system that shows available ltsp servers, you select one with the lowest load and it will connect you to that one
22:05
i have no idea what is controlling this, but would like something similar
