hi ther
02:47
i upgrade my ltsp OS from 9.04 to 10.4.2
02:48
after ltsp-update-image -a i386
02:48
my client boot, ubuntu logo loading and black screen
02:48
<alkisg1>
Rebuild the chroot, don't update it
02:48
<nosedrum>
no ssh on client
02:48
<alkisg1>
sudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp
02:48
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386 etc
02:48
<nosedrum>
i don't update the chroot
02:48
just server
02:49
<alkisg1>
OK, rebuild the image
02:49
The chroot
02:49
With ltsp-build-client
02:49
<nosedrum>
ok so build-client + update-image ?
02:49
<alkisg1>
No, only the commands I wrote above
02:49
rm + ltsp-build-client
02:49
No update necessary
02:49
<nosedrum>
ok
02:49
i'll try right now
02:49
back in few minutes
02:50

03:24
<andygraybeal>
morrrninging!!
03:39
<nosedrum>
ok for build-client, boot ok now
03:40
but logon screen and popups windows appears in left of screen
03:40
like 2 screens view
03:40
but only one connected
03:41
seems to be like the middle of 2 screen view
03:41
how can i fix that ?
03:43
strange isn't it ?

03:48alkisg (~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg) joined #ltsp.
03:48
<nosedrum>
so
03:48
i resolve my issue
03:48
by putting clone screen in system options
03:48
but it's not cool , i have 80 servers to update
03:53
you know what is the file to eit screen settings
03:53
?
03:55
<andygraybeal>
i wish i knew what you were talking about nosedrum... what screen? not the screens that you can control with the lts.conf file correct
03:56
<nosedrum>
in lts.conf i already configure my resolution
03:57
it's just the client image who detect two screnn (there is two vga out) but only one one is really connected
03:58
i search the ubuntu config file to put "clone screen" settings to solve the issue by another way
03:58
<andygraybeal>
ah interesting
03:59
so you have dual head machines?
03:59
<alkisg>
have a look at the lts.conf XRANDR* settings
03:59
<andygraybeal>
sounds like fun for sure!
04:00
<nosedrum>
no XRANDR * settings
04:00
CONFIGURE_X = True
04:00
X_CONF = /etc/X11/xorg.conf
04:00
X_MODE_0=1024x768
04:00
just this for video conf
04:00
<alkisg>
Yeah, what I'm suggesting is to delete all those and have a look at the xrandr settings
04:00
Those are "the old way" to configure X
04:01
<nosedrum>
o k
04:01
ltsp doc got infos inside ?
04:01
<alkisg>
Xrandr is the new way, supports multiple screens, cloning etc
04:01
man lts.conf
04:01
<nosedrum>
k thx
04:01
<alkisg>
Or http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
04:02
<nosedrum>
man lts.conf don't works on my server
04:02
go to url
04:02
<alkisg>
You need to install the ltsp-docs package
04:02
But url is fine too

04:15
<nosedrum>
something don't understand
04:15
XRANDR_OUTPUT_0 ... XRANDR_OUTPUT_8
04:15
string, default unset
04:15
Define xrandr output - can also be used for multihead positioning
04:15
can i disable output with this ?
04:16
i commented my olds CONFIGURE_X and X_CONF and replace X_MODE_0 by XRANDR_MODE_0 but not solve my problem

<alkisg>
On the client, can you open a terminal and execute a series of normal xrandr commands (not in lts.conf) that solve your problem?
04:21
If so, paste those commands here so that we can look for a similar lts.conf syntax
04:23
An easy way would probably be to use "--same-as" to clone your outputs
04:26
Also try setting XRANDR_AUTO_MULTIHEAD=True in lts.conf

this multihead stuff sounds awesome :) i'd need a bigger desk though ;P
04:49
<markit>
andygraybeal: sorry, just entered... what multihead stuff?
04:49
<andygraybeal>
alkisg, is talking nosedrum through having a multi-headed (more than one vga output) system
04:50
with xrandr config in the lts.conf file
04:50
we have dual headed machines here, but we only use one head; none of us have enough desk space (well some do) for two machines
04:50
er two monitors
04:50
i'm just being an idiot and drooling.. as usual
04:50
<markit>
so ltsp clients + multihead? wow
04:51
<andygraybeal>
yea, exactly :)
05:05
<markit>
fat clients of course, right?
05:05
any link or log of the above mentioned conversation I can look at?
05:10

in the topic i lbelieve
05:10
i get a 404 though

oh becaues i'm an idiot and there is a comma

hi tl1000s77_ :)
05:31
<tl1000s77_>
I'm hoping that one of you LTSP guru's can help me with a little problem I'm having
05:31
Hi andygraybeal
05:32
<andygraybeal>
so what's the problem?
05:32
<markit>
thanks andygraybeal

<tl1000s77_>
I'm setting up a Ubuntu 10.04 LTSP server and I'm trying to get VNC working on the thinclients following this link https://wiki.edubuntu.org/InstallX11VncOnLtspClients
05:33
I've had no luck
05:33
<markit>
andygraybeal: mm can't load the page
05:34
my dns problem

morning
05:36
tl1000s77_, not that i know anythign but i wonder why vnc vs that management program for classrooms... at this moment. i wonder if the management program is too old and not taken care of enough. (i forget the programs name)
05:37
but it's for managing a classroom ... you can use it to watch the students or manage the clients.. i think broadcast your screen to the others too
05:37

<tl1000s77_>
today we're running multiple servers with RHEL 4.0 and LTSP 4 and I can VNC into the thinclients to support them
05:38
I can't get it to work on Ubuntu 10.04 though :(
05:39
Has anyone had any luck setting up on a thin client under Ubuntu 10.04?
05:39
VNC
05:40brunolambert (~brunolamb@gw-sherb.rlnx.com) joined #ltsp.
05:40
<_UsUrPeR_>
tl1000s77_, hold on
05:40
I have a perfect link for you
05:40
tl1000s77_: right here: http://bootpolish.net/home_ltsp_installx11vnconltsp5
05:41
this is exactly what you want
05:41
like, to the T
05:41
check the "alternate method"
05:41
the normal method kills off VNC if a user logs off
05:41
<alkisg>
If you want vnc just for support, there's no reason to install it
05:42
<tl1000s77_>
Ok, I'll give that a try. It looks just like the setup under the other link I posted though...
05:42
<alkisg>
You can just su to the client and run vnc on the user session
05:42
Since all processes are on the server anyway
05:42
<tl1000s77_>
Really? How would I do that?
05:42
<alkisg>
One simple way, there are many:
05:42
<_UsUrPeR_>
tl1000s77_: well I can assure you that both methods described in that link work properly. I am testing out something pertaining to it as we speak
05:43
i'm sure alkis has a better way though :)
05:43
<alkisg>
You: Accessories > Internet > Remote connection (?) I got localized menus, don't remember the exact name, the command is "vinagre"
05:43
You go to its settings and enable "reverse connections"
05:43
Then you run: sudo su username
05:43
export $(tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pidof -s ldm gdm-simple-greeter gnome-session | cut -d' ' -f1)/environ | egrep '^DISPLAY=|^XAUTHORITY=')
05:43
(that's to get access to his display)
05:44
and
05:44
x11vnc -noshm connect your-ip
05:44
Of course you can put all those in a simple script
05:45
Second way
05:45
You just enable the embedded "vino-server" for everyone
05:45
That's a vnc server
05:45
<markit>
alkisg: " su to the client" ? like # su ltsp109 ?
05:45
<alkisg>
You can enable it for everyone through gconf
05:45
<tl1000s77_>
Now the Accessorie > Internet > etc is that done on the client or the server?
05:45
<alkisg>
I don't like that second method, nor installing any vnc server, because I can run them on demand, saving ram
05:46
tl1000s77_: all that is done wherever you sit, either server or thin client
05:46
markit: sudo su markit
05:46
Still on the server
05:46
tl1000s77_: if you want a test-drive, run: x11vnc -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
05:46
I'll immediately see your desktop
05:46
No port forwarding needed, nothing
05:47
<tl1000s77_>
That's pretty cool!
05:48
<alkisg>
Yup, I've been using it to remote support teachers for 2 years now, works fine
05:48
See? Easy :)
05:49
(if that was you and not someone else watching the channel :D)
05:50
<markit>
alkisg: I've jumped in the conversation too late to understand fully the setup. How could I help teacher in school sitting on my KDE workstation at home with your above method? (I've a static IP at home)
05:50
just provide the teacher with the script with x11vnc -connect myhomeip ?
05:50
<alkisg>
Yes
05:50
Ah so it was you with the KDE environment :D
05:50
<markit>
and ME at home will have his desktop... where?
05:50
<alkisg>
From wherever he "calls" you
05:51
<markit>
I mean, what program do I have to run on my home to see his desktop?
05:51
<alkisg>
Thin client, fat client, standalone pc, home, work, everywhere
05:51
<markit>
some sort of server always listening I guess
05:51
<alkisg>
vinagre, on gnome
05:51
I don't know about kde, google for "vnc reverse connections kde"
05:51
I think vncviewer -listen will also do
05:52
<markit>
oh, I see, really good, where I work we use something like that for M$crap
05:52
ultravnc "single click"
05:52
just in case you need for M$crap support...
05:52
<_UsUrPeR_>
tl1000s77_: how do you "keep track" of IP addresses for students in a DHCP network? Are they statically assigned?
05:52
<alkisg>
A script makes everything single click :)
05:53
<markit>
alkisg: http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html
05:53
<alkisg>
markit: no, not vnc server
05:53
That requires port forwarding
05:53
It's vnc reverse connections
05:53
<tl1000s77_>
_UsUrPeR_ Yes, I assign the thinclients IP addresses from a DHCP server. The IP is always the same though because we do it by MAC address
05:53
<alkisg>
markit: ah sorry misread
05:54
You're right, they're similar. Reading on...
05:54
<_UsUrPeR_>
tl1000s77_: ok. It only hurts to do that once :)
05:54
tl1000s77_: statically assigning and cataloging MAC addresses, that is
05:54
<tl1000s77_>
yup...but once it's setup you only have to make changes when you update hardware :)
05:54
<_UsUrPeR_>
yeah
06:06
<markit>
alkisg: the only problem with single click, is that you have to "build" using their online service (but maybe you can do yourself is just is not trivial), and I've ofter troubles with vnc and adsl connections too slow
06:07
<tl1000s77_>
_UsUrPeR_ Your method did exactly what I wanted it to! Thank you!
06:07
<markit>
for GNU, something like "nx" protocol would be fabolous
06:07
<alkisg>
markit: indeed, vnc is very slow, nx is much faster but it's hard to get "shadow sessions" working
06:07
tl1000s77_: you're welcome
06:07
<markit>
alkisg: and "plain X"?
06:08
<alkisg>
That too need much bandwidth, good only for LAN
06:08
<markit>
so vnc is very slow, but is faster? urgh
06:08
<alkisg>
For lan, it's like this: X >> NX >> VNC
06:09
For adsl e.g. 2 mbps, it's like this: NX >> VNC > X
06:09
<markit>
also desktop effects (composition) have to be turned off, I guess, for decent performances
06:09
<alkisg>
I don't think that would matter much, haven't tested extensively though
06:10
<markit>
alkisg: 2mbs uplink ? we have 256K uplink, or a little more, downlink is high (8Mbit)
06:10
<alkisg>
Well it's just a general idea. LAN == 100 mbps or gigabit, adsl = 1 mbps to 24 mbps etc
06:10
With upload = 1/4-1/8 of that
06:11
<markit>
I see

my issue with video is not solved
06:21
my logon screen is always:
06:22
| untu |
06:22
| <- it's screen hard side
06:22
looks like two screen conf:
06:22
| ub| |untu |

(02:26:15 PM) alkisg: Also try setting XRANDR_AUTO_MULTIHEAD=True in lts.conf
06:32
<nosedrum>
i have try this
06:32
on client's terminal normal xrandr commands do nothing
06:33
XRANDR_AUTO_MULTIHEAD=True nothing
06:34
<alkisg>
They do nothing? What do you mean?
06:34
If you logon and open a gnome terminal, and run xrandr, what do you get?
06:34
<nosedrum>
xrandr tell me :
06:34
VGA-0 connected
06:34
DVI-1 connected
06:34
oh !
06:34
i have a dvi-vga convertor on my output
06:35
may do sothing wrong ?
06:35
<alkisg>
Logon, run xrandr, and pastebin the output
06:37
<nosedrum>
http://pastebin.com/cdigeJ36
06:37
<alkisg>
OK, now, what result do you want? Clones?
06:37
<nosedrum>
but i have only one screen physicaly
06:37
<alkisg>
Ah
06:38
OK, then clones should do it ;)
06:38
<nosedrum>
it's my idea since the beginnig
06:38
<alkisg>
Try: xrandr --output DVI-1 --same-as VGA-0
06:38
<nosedrum>
but noway
06:38
k
06:41
seems good on desktop
06:41
but on logon screen same problem
06:41
<alkisg>
That was my idea since the beginning ;)
06:41
Now you need to put it in lts.conf
06:42
Try: XRANDR_OUTPUT_0="DVI-1 --same-as VGA-0"
06:42
And reboot client

08:12
<nosedrum>
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
08:12
need java
08:12
to lauch with ltsp-localapps
08:12
<alkisg>
Above that error message, there must be another error message
08:12
Which tells you why it failed
08:13
<nosedrum>

08:14
<alkisg>
Do that again, but do this before:
08:14
<nosedrum>
have to chroot /proc ?
08:14
<alkisg>
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
08:14
That will allow us to read the output more easily
08:15
<nosedrum>
http://pastebin.com/W9134nJG
08:15
<alkisg>
the keytool command requires a mounted proc fs (/proc).
08:16
So yup try mounting proc before doing that
08:16
sudo mount --bind /proc /opt/ltsp/i386/proc
08:18
<nosedrum>
better
08:18
thx again my friend !
08:18
xD
08:18
i'll be junkie of that chan ...
08:19
<alkisg>
nosedrum: btw, you can put that XRANDR_OUTPUT_0 directive under a [mac:address] section in lts.conf, so that it only applies to that specific client
08:20
<nosedrum>
yes i tried this
08:21
hmmmm
08:21
how to umount --bind /proc ?
08:21
i can't ltsp-update-image now... -_-
08:21
umount --bind /proc
08:21
don't works
08:22
umount /opt/ltsp/i386/proc
08:22
OK

(06:32:31 PM) andygraybeal: do fatclients have a swap file? ... on the server? what happens when the fatclients use up all their memory? ==> the same as thin clients, i.e. you can give them a swap file with NBD_SWAP=True in lts.conf, and SIZE=xxx in /etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf.
10:13
If they don't have a swap file and their RAM is exhausted, then some processes will be automatically killed
10:13
<andygraybeal>
alkisg, thank you :)
10:14
so it sounds dangerous to not have a swap file then :)
10:16
<alkisg>
Well it depends. Thin clients with >= 512 RAM without localapps shouldn't ever have a problem
10:16
With localapps or with fat clients of course more ram is needd

BTW, this is to make my dell gx150 boot.
12:14
They were getting an invalid card on the boot screen
12:20
<alkisg>
That invalid card is not the graphics cad
12:20
card
12:20
That's amixer complaining
12:20
You put it in any path in the chroot
12:20
And then you use X_CONF=path in lts.conf
12:21
man lts.conf will tell you about X_CONF

12:30
I assume I will have to unlock the root in ubuntu
12:30
<alkisg>
No, you don't need that

Btw, what is your new xorg.conf like?
12:31
Maybe you don't need a xorg.conf, and you just need some X_* lts.conf options.

invalid card

<alkisg>
That's not about the graphics card afaik
12:40
But anyway, if you think that xorg.conf will help you, ok, use X_CONF
12:40
Put that file in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg-gx150.conf
12:40
Then run ltsp-update-image
12:41
Then in lts.conf put: X_CONF=/etc/X11/xorg-gx150.conf

I could't get it to update

but I was able to add the information to the lts.conf file and dumped xorg-gx150.conf
13:02
i need the update command for thei386 version of ltsp
13:02
ltsp-update-image i386 something
13:04
ltsp-update-image --arch i386
13:05* alkisg thinks it'd be reasonable for ltsp-update-image to default to the first *existing* chroot instead of the server's ARCH... like ltsp-chroot does

14:57
<andygraybeal>
hi dlbass :)
14:58
i use ubuntu 10.04 :) it has the easiest to understand documentation in my opinion :)
14:58

then that is what I will stick with then
14:59
desktop or server edition?
14:59

server
14:59

ok, I shall being that download
14:59

hi
20:47
is there a way to restart X on a terminal without rebooting it, from the server?
20:49
basically I would like to be able to close all programs running on the terminal, force a relog but without actually rebooting the whole thing

i have done the local harddisk detection in ltsp but i am going to see in desktop it is not showing.....i think wha
21:38
whtever desktop is coming it is server
21:38
not the client
21:39
is there ant solution because wheni see command line hardisk is showing and getting mounted in /media

cemc: on regular thin clients, if you do `killall -u user` on the server, that forces them to logout locally so X is restarted
21:49
<listpi>
alkisg :tell me one thing ,when client boot , which desktop he get....actually i have seen it is server not client ....when i see command line it is showing diffrent ip but on desktop it is exactly server
21:50
so if i mount anything in command line it will not effect client on desktop
21:50
<alkisg>
listpi / ki / viks, please don't message me, I tried to help you but I couldn't, don't waste my time
21:51
The only thing I can suggest for you is to hire a linux expert to help you
21:51
It'll only take 2-3 hours to solve your problem
21:51
<listpi>
alkisg : but u can tell me ...wheter m wrong or not....because i have done local hardisk detect at boot time and it is getting mounting at boot time in /media
21:53
<alkisg>
You are wrong, you didn't do what I told you to do 3 weeks ago, you're still trying this with ltspfsd
21:58
<listpi>
alkisg :not ltfsd , i have done the entry in fstab in chroot and whenever client boot he will get thier own har disk to be mount ....i can see that hardisk in /media
21:59
<alkisg>
If you're using fstab, then it's mounting where you told it to mount
21:59
<listpi>
alkisg : but only in command line when i log in ctrl + f7 ,,,it is not showing me it is showing server desktop
21:59
<alkisg>
so if it mounts to /media, and you don't have media in /etc/fstab, then you're not using fstab
21:59
I don't want to comment more. Good luck.
