| 04:55 | <baiki> @johnny remember my problem last time that i cannot login with newly created user. i found in this particular users directory the .xsession-errors and it says: "Window manager error: Unable to open X display localhost:11.0"

| 05:12 | <baiki> in which file do I have to adjust parameters for individual ltsp client for x11?
| |
| 05:13 | <muppis> baiki, take a loot at this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/lts.conf.5.html
| |
| 05:15 | <baiki> @muppis thanks. didn't help in my case. i read this page too many times now :-( seems like our school net here in africa will never work. thanks anyway!
| |
| 05:17 | <muppis> Ah, I forgot. Setting resolution from lts.conf affects only to LDM.
| |
| 05:18 | <baiki> @muppis ldm works fine on all thin clients. my own username can login on this TC wo/ any troubles but newly created users refuse constantly login on the same machine
| |
| 05:18 | daya has quit IRC | |
| 05:20 | <muppis> baiki, have you looked from logs what happens when new user tries to login?
| |
| 05:20 | <baiki> http://ltsp.pastebin.com/KcwebZMT
| |
| 05:21 | unfortunately that's all i can see for now. guess it's a resolution and freq. problem because on this TC is a very old CRT screen
| |
| 05:23 | but question is, why is the username during installation working on the same machine but new users not
| |
| 05:23 | <muppis> CRT's just go blank (or shows something weird), if those goes out of range. I think you graphic card can't handle compiz?
| |
| 05:24 | 3D effects and so.
| |
| 05:26 | <baiki> well, as i mentioned, with my own username on the same thin client there is no problem. if i use on same thin client newly created user, ldm shows up, i enter new username and password (sshd said auth is OK) screen goes blank and returns to ldm again. now i take my username and i can properly login.
| |
| 05:27 | only indication i found so far was the .xsession-errors
| |
| 05:27 | <muppis> Just out from hat, but try empty that user's homedir and try again.
| |
| 05:28 | <baiki> ok, will try that.

| 07:43 | mrcarrot has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:44 | <mrcarrot> can anyone point me to some documentation on how to setup a usb printer connected to the thinclient? what do i need to do on the server? the only thing i have found by searching is the changes to lts.conf
| |
| 07:49 | <muppis> mrcarrot, setting static IP (from dhcpd.conf) for that client and changes to lts.conf
| |
| 07:49 | Set up 3 printers that way, for one had put IP to lts.conf to make it work.
| |
| 07:50 | <mrcarrot> muppis: is it not possible by mac in lts.conf?
| |
| 07:50 | muppis: do i need to add the printer in some way to the cups running on the server?
| |
| 07:50 | <muppis> mrcarrot, recommended to use mac, but IP is needed for CUPS.
| |
| 07:50 | Yes.
| |
| 07:51 | Printer is added to CUPS as usual network printer.
| |
| 07:51 | <mrcarrot> muppis: automatically added?
| |
| 07:51 | <muppis> Manually.
| |
| 07:53 | But now I need to go.
| |
| 07:54 | <mrcarrot> muppis: thanks for the help
| |
| 07:54 | hopefully i get it installed

| 08:04 | <robehend1> wooo, the schoolboard approved my continued deployment of Linux and LTSP :D
| |
| 08:05 | <sep> well done
| |
| 08:06 | <robehend1> all it took was showing them how, with Freenx and the Nomachine web client, kids could get to the desktops from home on a snow day
| |
| 08:12 | <daduke__> haha well played
| |
| 08:13 | <robehend1> mind you, the kids already could do most of their work from home, thanks to Google apps..but i'll take a win anyway I can

| |
| 08:51 | <robehend1> hey there
| |
| 08:52 | <noti> i have installed latest ubuntu 10.10, desktop edition on some machine, and i want it be a server for around 15 thin clients
| |
| 08:53 | is it easy to done ?
| |
| 08:54 | ?

| 09:30 | opo has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:34 | <opo> is it possible to set this server on ubuntu desktop editon- for 10 thin clients who are going to be connected via LAN hub to the server(ubuntu machine)
| |
| 09:34 | <robehend1> yes, its possible.
| |
| 09:34 | though i'd highly reccomend a switch over a hub
| |
| 09:35 | <opo> hwy ?
| |
| 09:35 | why ?
| |
| 09:35 | <robehend1> much, much more efficent.
| |
| 09:36 | <opo> ok, but for testing it will be hub
| |
| 09:36 | because i alredy own a hub
| |
| 09:37 | <robehend1> ok. well, yes, its possible. setup your server with 2 nics, one hooked up to the outside world, and one plugged into the hub. The server will provide DHCP for the hub, allowing the clients to boot
| |
| 09:37 | <opo> nics ?
| |
| 09:37 | <robehend1> network interface cards. the ethernet plugin
| |
| 09:38 | this guide is mildly dated, but mostly relevant still : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
| |
| 09:38 | <opo> so 2 network card for server is a must to have feauture ?
| |
| 09:39 | <robehend1> you *can* run it with 1 card, but then you either have to setup manual declarations of all the hosts, or have another DHCP server providing the info for pxe boot
| |
| 09:39 | do you have a current DHCP server up and running?
| |
| 09:39 | <opo> no
| |
| 09:40 | <robehend1> then are all your clients set to manual addresses? or is it your router providing the dhcp
| |
| 09:41 | <opo> router is providing
| |
| 09:41 | <robehend1> hmm, well i doubt your router allows you to set pxe settings in it. At least, i've never seen one.
| |
| 09:41 | I'm not sure of a way to set up what your asking on a single NIC then, without letting the server take over dhcp
| |
| 09:43 | <opo> what router
| |
| 09:44 | which router ?
| |
| 09:44 | the clients would be connected to the server via huv /switch
| |
| 09:46 | <robehend1> But would the server be connected to the rest of the network, to provide internet?
| |
| 09:46 | <opo> not for now
| |
| 09:46 | <robehend1> sorry, should have asked that first. I havent had my coffee yet
| |
| 09:46 | ah, then your fine.
| |
| 09:46 | <opo> it's just for test
| |
| 09:46 | <robehend1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
| |
| 09:47 | <alkisg> opo: the server, the router and the clients will be connected to the same hub. Is there a dhcp server in that hub?
| |
| 09:47 | E.g. the router?
| |
| 09:47 | Does it provide dhcp?
| |
| 09:47 | <opo> not for now
| |
| 09:47 | <robehend1> alkisg: He's not going to hook the server into the router, it seems. just a mini standalone lab
| |
| 09:47 | alkisg: so i believe the ltsp box can do it's own dhcp, if i'm not mistaken
| |
| 09:47 | <opo> classroom
| |
| 09:47 | <alkisg> Sure, it can, but it need to be configured to do that
| |
| 09:47 | The default quick install assumes 2 nics
| |
| 09:48 | <robehend1> ah. wasnt sure about that. I thought it grabbed whatever NICS it saw
| |
| 09:48 | <alkisg> So opo you'll need to modify /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf in order for the clients to boot.
| |
| 09:48 | (after the quick install steps)
| |
| 09:48 | <opo> ok
| |
| 09:49 | but, later, if I want to add interner, what should I do =
| |
| 09:49 | ?
| |
| 09:51 | should I add another NICS to the server ?
| |
| 09:51 | <alkisg> You just need to have 1 dhcp server
| |
| 09:52 | The ltsp server can have either 1 or 2 nics, whatever you prefer
| |
| 09:52 | <robehend1> if you want to use internet with this later, you'd either need to add a nic, or disable the routers dhcp. cant have 2 dhcp
| |
| 09:52 | <alkisg> Or you can leave the router dhcp enabled and close the ltsp dhcp
| |
| 09:52 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP
| |
| 09:52 | <robehend1> i should really try to do that one day, i'm thinking.
| |
| 09:53 | <alkisg> (if the router isn't good enough to provide a boot filename field, then you can notify the clients about the boot filename by reading that URL above ^)
| |
| 09:53 | <robehend1> alkisg: random question: can you do ltsp-cluster while using a windows dhcp? I'm thinking this proxydhcp would help with that
| |
| 09:53 | <m4xx> i'm trying to solve my dual head greeter problem. can i change root = gdk_dget_default_root_window() to gdk_display_get_window_at_device_position()?
| |
| 09:53 | <alkisg> robehend1: random answer: I've never used ltsp-cluster :)
| |
| 09:53 | <robehend1> ;)
| |
| 09:53 | <alkisg> But I imagine that you can use any dhcp server...
| |
| 09:54 | <robehend1> i guess i have to dig in and figure out how the cluster talks to eachotehr then. I thought it was done in the DHCP settings
| |
| 09:57 | anyone have any luck using Wyse thinclients, or is Diskless Workstations the way to go
| |
| 09:57 | <m4xx> i'm happy with my diskless workstation =]
| |
| 09:57 | <robehend1> m4xx: which model did you go with?
| |
| 09:57 | <m4xx> 1720
| |
| 09:58 | the only issue i'm having is the dual head login, aside from that they really work great
| |
| 09:58 | <robehend1> it work well with only one monitor? no way i'm giving kids 2 ;)
| |
| 09:58 | <m4xx> yes sir
| |
| 09:58 | works just fine with one monitor
| |
| 09:59 | artista-frustrad has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:59 | <robehend1> hmmm. i may have to get one of those to give it a shot
| |
| 09:59 | <m4xx> i would ;]
| |
| 09:59 | <robehend1> though might look at the 1600, as I dont need the internal speaker or the dual head
| |
| 10:00 | <m4xx> yeah, i went with the 1700 for the dual head
| |
| 10:00 | <robehend1> i'll have to run one of those lovely ROI studies with those vs refurbished p4s..
| |
| 10:01 | <opo> I'm using some samsung thinclients
| |
| 10:01 | <robehend1> how are they working out, Opo?
| |
| 10:01 | <m4xx> so eh, anyone? greeter.c? would changing root = gdk_dget_default_root_window() to gdk_display_get_window_at_device_position() fix my centered greeter on dual screens issue? or am i way off?
| |
| 10:02 | Trixboxer has quit IRC | |
| 10:02 | <m4xx> i'm trying to figure this out but i'm not gtk developer ;[
| |
| 10:02 | <robehend1> gtk is beyond my ken, sadly.
| |
| 10:03 | <opo> I'm satisfied with them
| |
| 10:03 | * 17" (SM720XT) & 19" (SM920XT) TFT Display * Microsoft Windows XPe Operating System * 1GHz AMD Geode NX1500 * 256MB DDR 1GB FDM * 1Gbps Network Speed, USB Hub * 1280 x 1024 Resolution
| |
| 10:03 | <robehend1> but ooo, cheap P4's on special again :D
| |
| 10:03 | <opo> configuration ^^
| |
| 10:03 | artista-frustrad has quit IRC | |
| 10:03 | <robehend1> whats it mean, 256MB DDR 1GB FDM
| |
| 10:05 | <opo> i dont know, seems it's the manufactor
| |
| 10:05 | fantom
| |
| 10:06 | <robehend1> ah. was just confused by the 256mb and 1gb listings ;)
| |
| 10:06 | <opo> its 256 or 1GB
| |
| 10:06 | :D
| |
| 10:06 | <robehend1> haha nice
| |
| 10:07 | <opo> I'am going to try setup my network tommorow
| |
| 10:07 | just researching now.....
| |

| 11:39 | <m4xx> finally! got dual head greeter working, BUT it doesn't show the logo, however it does show the rest of the theme image
| |
| 11:39 | *images
| |
| 11:39 | where might i look for errors?
| |
| 11:41 | <Gadi> m4xx: what did you change? can you paste a diff?
| |
| 11:41 | otavio_ has quit IRC | |
| 11:41 | <m4xx> it's a terrible hack
| |
| 11:42 | it i just set the width to width/2
| |
| 11:42 | because both of my screens are the same size
| |
| 11:42 | <Gadi> heh
| |
| 11:42 | <m4xx> yes =[
| |
| 11:42 | <Gadi> what line exactly?
| |
| 11:43 | <m4xx> on my ubuntu source line 475
| |
| 11:43 | pw = width/2;
| |
| 11:43 | w = width/2;

| 11:52 | <Gadi> you might be able to get away with just changing TRUE to FALSE in line 658
| |
| 11:53 | <m4xx> instead of the /2?
| |
| 11:53 | <Gadi> yeah
| |
| 11:54 | <m4xx> trying now, any idea why the logo image show's up as a broken image icon?
| |
| 11:56 | <Gadi> not sure - if that was the only change you made
| |
| 11:56 | <m4xx> setting true to false on #658 "gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(vbox), StatusMessage, TRUE, FALSE, 0);"
| |
| 11:56 | didn't work
| |
| 11:56 | <Gadi> ok
| |
| 11:57 | artista-frustrad has quit IRC | |
| 11:57 | <Gadi> did it have no effect?
| |
| 11:57 | <m4xx> no effect that i see
| |
| 11:57 | <Gadi> ok
| |
| 11:57 | <m4xx> goes back to center between two monitors
| |
| 11:57 | <Gadi> yeah, the way this is laid out it is hard to see
| |
| 11:57 | (in the code, I mean)
| |
| 11:57 | would be better if the authors commented it
| |
| 11:58 | <m4xx> is there a log somewhere that might show why the logo isn't showing?
| |
| 12:04 | <Gadi> yuck
| |
| 12:04 | ok, so with this layout
| |
| 12:04 | you need to make a few edits
| |
| 12:04 | I think
| |
| 12:04 | line 636: TRUE -> FALSE
| |
| 12:05 | line 630: TRUE -> FALSE
| |
| 12:05 | line 618: TRUE -> FALSE
| |
| 12:06 | I think with those 3 edits, the login prompt should move to the left
| |
| 12:06 | I think
| |
| 12:06 | <m4xx> apparently even with out my edit's the logo doesn't show
| |
| 12:06 | OK, checking now
| |
| 12:07 | <Gadi> perhaps your ldm theme got broken when you installed your version
| |
| 12:07 | <m4xx> i only copied the gtkgreet executable to the ldm directory
| |
| 12:07 | <Gadi> anyway, it seems the entrybox, the guest login button, and the timeout boxes are all laid out in strips with their own spacers
| |
| 12:08 | and I think that is what is centering things
| |
| 12:08 | m4xx: how did you compile it?
| |
| 12:08 | <m4xx> ./configure && make
| |
| 12:08 | <Gadi> perhaps it is looking in the wrong directory
| |
| 12:08 | <m4xx> it picks up the background image though
| |
| 12:08 | bg.png
| |
| 12:08 | <Gadi> you may need ./configure --prefix=/usr
| |
| 12:09 | hmm...
| |
| 12:09 | <m4xx> OK
| |
| 12:09 | perhaps i'm wrong, i am a lil color blind
| |
| 12:09 | will try with your edits now
| |
| 12:09 | <Gadi> or: ./configure --libexecdir=/usr/lib
| |
| 12:09 | not sure
| |
| 12:10 | you might want to just apt-get source ldm and make your changes and rebuild the package
| |
| 12:11 | bbiab
| |
| 12:15 | <m4xx> that semi worked. it put the full input box on the right (as in not left) monitor
| |
| 12:16 | but it's not centered on that monitor
| |
| 12:19 | setting prefix=/usr worked for the logo issue
| |
| 12:25 | komunista has quit IRC | |
| 12:39 | <Gadi> m4xx: this code uses the size of the root window to set width and height, which is the problem
| |
| 12:40 | m4xx: we should instead use the GdkDisplay widget
| |
| 12:40 | and make sure that we only paint one screen
| |
| 12:42 | <m4xx> could i do something like gtk_screen_get_monitor_gemoetry(gdk_screen_get_default(),0,&my_rect); then set width to my_rect.width?
| |
| 12:42 | <robehend1> alkisg: Say, a while ago you helped me setup a nbdproxy. You wouldnt happen to have a link to that script you gave me last time, would you? I'm setting up a second server for a different site, and since it worked so well, wanted to apply it
| |
| 12:43 | <m4xx> robehend1, you can check here: http://www.nubae.com/logs/
| |
| 12:43 | if you remember what date it was
| |
| 12:43 | <robehend1> m4xx: wow, didnt know that existed. and sadly, i dont :(
| |
| 12:43 | <m4xx> perhaps you can do some google hax0ring?
| |
| 12:43 | <robehend1> heh yep!
| |
| 12:43 | <m4xx> site:nubae.com blah
| |
| 12:43 | ?
| |
| 12:43 | or w/e
| |
| 12:44 | <robehend1> heh, looking up their input system now ;)

| 12:46 | <alkisg> robehend1: erm, I helped you setup nbd-proxy?!
| |
| 12:46 | nbd-proxy is preinstalled...
| |
| 12:46 | Maybe you had problems with it and you removed it instead?
| |
| 12:46 | <robehend1> that could be it..
| |
| 12:46 | you had me run a script, and add a line to my lts.conf that gave it a nbd port
| |
| 12:47 | <alkisg> Hmmm what line?
| |
| 12:47 | Do you have that lts.conf handy?
| |
| 12:47 | <robehend1> ya, lemme get it here
| |
| 12:48 | ack, not lts.conf, pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 12:49 | <Gadi> m4xx: try: http://pastebin.com/U2t5CWy3
| |
| 12:49 | <alkisg> robehend1: nbd_proxy=false?
| |
| 12:49 | <robehend1> alkisg: http://pastebin.com/FrSpGGZN
| |
| 12:49 | <alkisg> robehend1: nope, that's the default pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 12:50 | Nothing customized in that file
| |
| 12:50 | <Gadi> m4xx: here's a diff: http://pastebin.com/TzY9DDS5
| |
| 12:50 | <robehend1> alkisg: hmm. I must be completely off my rocker. I coulda swore. never mind then ;)
| |
| 12:50 | <m4xx> Gadi: testing now
| |
| 12:52 | <Gadi> if that doesn't work, we may have to set screen specifically to screen 0
| |
| 12:52 | <m4xx> Gadi: again, the form is on the right monitor
| |
| 12:52 | and is not centered
| |
| 12:53 | <robehend1> heres something i ran into earlier today which drove me a bit daffy. using an old IBM thinkbad for a thinclient. It boots fine, login works great, but when I get in, the numlock is frozen on. turning it off with the FN key does nothing, turning it off in the bios does nothing, etc. I honestly couldnt find a fix.

| |
| 12:54 | <robehend1> hmm, ill dig through. thanks Alkisg

| |
| 13:11 | form on right hand monitor, not centered
| |
| 13:15 | <Gadi> m4xx: does the bg stretch across both screens?
| |
| 13:15 | <m4xx> yes
| |

| 13:21 | <Gadi> m4xx: does it work on both dualhead and regular?
| |
| 13:21 | if so, it is a nice hack
| |
| 13:21 | <m4xx> i will test single right now
| |
| 13:23 | works with my vga only
| |
| 13:23 | testing dvi only now
| |
| 13:25 | Gadi: works for me =]
| |
| 13:26 | <Gadi> excellent! could I trouble you to report the bug on launchpad against ldm and put the fix in the bug report?
| |
| 13:26 | * Gadi bats eyes | |
| 13:26 | <Gadi> :)
| |
| 13:26 | <m4xx> lol
| |
| 13:26 | let me see if i can figure out how ;x

| 13:27 | oops

| |
| 13:28 | no, seriously
| |
| 13:28 | https://code.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ldm-trunk
| |
| 13:28 | <Gadi> yeah, that's the code
| |
| 13:36 | <m4xx> it's done sir, hope i did it correctly =]
| |
| 13:38 | <Gadi> thx!
| |
| 13:38 | <m4xx> no sir, thank you =]
| |
| 13:47 | if you don't mind me asking another question. When i have a single monitor hooked up i get the ubuntu loading screen with the dot progress bar, with the dual screen's I just get all black
| |
| 13:47 | is there something i can do to make that work?
| |
| 13:50 | [GuS] has quit IRC | |
| 14:18 | <Gadi> m4xx: sorry - was afk
| |
| 14:18 | <m4xx> no worries =]
| |
| 14:18 | <Gadi> m4xx: that is plymouth - the bootsplash
| |
| 14:18 | <robehend1> Gadi: is there a way to change the bootsplash, perchance?
| |
| 14:19 | <Gadi> robehend1: sure
| |
| 14:19 | it is themeable
| |
| 14:19 | <robehend1> any docs, perchance?
| |
| 14:19 | <Gadi> apt-get source plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo
| |
| 14:19 | on ubuntu
| |
| 14:20 | modify the source images, rebuild, install in chroot, ltsp-update-kernels, and a way you go
| |
| 14:20 | <robehend1> wooo
| |
| 14:20 | <Gadi> now, if you want fancier, you can download one of the other pre-packaged themes
| |
| 14:20 | <robehend1> do they work with ltsp?
| |
| 14:20 | <Gadi> or read up on how to script them
| |
| 14:21 | should
| |
| 14:21 | like I say, plymouth has issues with some video chips
| |
| 14:21 | <robehend1> i may hafta look into this. I've been wanting to add our logo into the bootsplash
| |
| 14:21 | <Gadi> like the VIA ones don't set the mode properly for the console
| |
| 14:21 | so, you may have to pass vga=788 or some such to the kernel
| |
| 14:21 | in order for the logo to come up properly
| |
| 14:22 | <robehend1> know of any problems with intel ones? we're nearly 100% intel
| |
| 14:22 | <Gadi> usually, if it can't do the logo, it defaults to the text theme
| |
| 14:22 | * Gadi never had probs on intel | |
| 14:22 | <m4xx> i dont even get that =[
| |
| 14:22 | <robehend1> another thing to add to my "stuff to do over christmas" list, it seems ;)
| |
| 14:22 | <Gadi> m4xx: do you have "splash" on the kernel comand line?
| |
| 14:23 | <m4xx> Gadi: works fine with one monitor, with two it's just black
| |
| 14:23 | <Gadi> m4xx: are the two dvi?
| |
| 14:23 | or a splitter?
| |
| 14:23 | or some such?
| |
| 14:23 | <m4xx> negative, one vga, one dvi
| |
| 14:23 | <Gadi> and it doesnt even come up on vga?
| |
| 14:23 | <m4xx> no sir
| |
| 14:23 | if i have one or the other
| |
| 14:24 | <Gadi> what chipset?
| |
| 14:24 | <m4xx> it works great
| |
| 14:24 | intel 945
| |
| 14:24 | <Gadi> weird
| |
| 14:24 | <m4xx> if you remember, this has that dvs or what ever hack
| |
| 14:24 | <Gadi> I wonder if it would work with "nomodeset"
| |
| 14:25 | oh yeah...
| |
| 14:25 | <m4xx> where might i go about setting that?
| |
| 14:25 | <Gadi> this was the one that thought it had an LVDS
| |
| 14:25 | right?
| |
| 14:25 | <m4xx> that's it
| |
| 14:25 | yes sir
| |
| 14:25 | <Gadi> you may be getting it on the LVDS, then
| |
| 14:25 | :P
| |
| 14:25 | <m4xx> is there a way to set it to use a particular screen?
| |
| 14:25 | <Gadi> have you checked the BIOS at all for settings?
| |
| 14:26 | related to video, that is
| |
| 14:26 | well, otherwise, things to play with:
| |
| 14:26 | editing pxelinux.cfg/default and adding to the command line: nomodest
| |
| 14:26 | or: vga=788
| |
| 14:26 | see if either help
| |
| 14:27 | otherwise, im not sure

| |
| 14:34 | <Gadi> m4xx: you may want to add to that description that you modified "gtkgreet/greeter.c" in ubuntu lucid's ldm source
| |
| 14:34 | robehend1: I only keep working around it
| |
| 14:34 | <robehend1> ah alright. thats what i'm doing as well
| |
| 14:34 | <Gadi> robehend1: when sbalneav resurfaces, I will see if I can get him to help fix it but good
| |
| 14:34 | robehend1: I reported the bugs

| |
| 14:34 | <robehend1> works for me ;0
| |

| 14:35 | <ltspbot> Gadi: sbalneav was last seen in #ltsp 3 weeks, 6 days, 3 hours, 51 minutes, and 0 seconds ago: <sbalneav> That's what I was thinking.
| |
| 14:35 | <robehend1> he must be on an adventure!
| |
| 14:35 | <Gadi> hope its a good one
| |
| 14:35 | like Muppets take Manhattan
| |
| 14:35 | :D
| |
| 14:35 | <robehend1> i prefer treasure island, myself
| |
| 14:36 | but that could be based on my belief that pirates make anything better
| |
| 14:36 | <m4xx> nomodeset kills my vga monitor, vga=788 has no effect
| |
| 14:37 | <Gadi> m4xx: yeah, on second thought, intel uses intelfb
| |
| 14:37 | m4xx: so, vga would have no effect
| |
| 14:37 | :)
| |
| 14:38 | im sure google knows
| |
| 14:38 | <m4xx> modified the description, hopefully that's what you're looking for :)
| |
| 14:40 | Gadi, sorry for my ignorance, but what might be some keywords to search for?
| |
| 14:41 | <Gadi> m4xx: beautiful, you're a veritable shakespeare
| |
| 14:41 | :)
| |
| 14:41 | <m4xx> lol
| |
| 14:41 | c&p ftw
| |
| 14:41 | <Gadi> hehe
| |
| 14:41 | uhm, its a good question
| |
| 14:41 | the issue is basically one involving intelfb, plymouth, dual head, and lvds
| |
| 14:42 | so, those might be a good start
| |
| 14:42 | <m4xx> thank you sir =]
| |
| 14:42 | <Gadi> there are lots of these lvd quirks with intel drivers
| |
| 14:43 | mostly because the driver is too good and the BIOS's are too stupid
| |
| 14:44 | it is really the responsibility of the manufacturer when they burn a bios for the thin client to tell the bios to report no lvds
| |
| 14:44 | but, most of these boards are not made with such care
| |
| 14:44 | so, the drivers wind up working around it
| |
| 14:45 | too many cooks

| 15:04 | <vagrantc> alkisg: somewhat. i haven't had the time to ask around if it seemed sufficient
| |
| 15:05 | <alkisg> Good to hear though, as the gpxe ITP looked freezed for some time
| |
| 15:05 | <jconlon> I've had my ltsp network up an running smoothly until now. I have one machine that will not allow users to login. It gets an ip from the server, goes to the login screen, but then I get this "no response from server", this is the only machine that does this, which is why I'm confused.
| |
| 15:05 | <alkisg> I've also asked win32-loader to offer a "boot from network" option in the windows boot loader, and it depends on #474034... http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=607417
| |
| 15:06 | <m4xx> jconlon, try running ltsp-update-sshkeys
