| 00:01 | <Hyperbyte> Yay. :) I got the LTSP thin clients I ordered yesterday. Came in horribly early this morning to get rid of all desktops. :)
| |
| 00:02 | * Hyperbyte is once again very happy thanks to LTSP | |

| 01:53 | <mistik1> Hyperbyte: You know what was shocking to me when I first started using LTSP, the absense of noise in an office
| |
| 01:53 | <Hyperbyte> mistik1, yeah!
| |
| 01:53 | <mistik1> Its a very nice sideeffect
| |
| 01:53 | <Hyperbyte> I started working at 7 AM this morning... people start here at 9
| |
| 01:53 | Had to replace 9 workstations in one office
| |
| 01:53 | <mistik1> You never notice how much noise you have till its all gone, eh?
| |
| 01:54 | <Hyperbyte> When I arrived I turned the radio up waaaay loud, because that's how it goes at 7 AM. :)
| |
| 01:54 | When the building is empty. :D
| |
| 01:54 | <mistik1> hehe
| |
| 01:54 | <Hyperbyte> And when I was finished at a quarter to nine I turned it off again and for a moment it felt like pure bliss.
| |
| 01:55 | It's too bad power is included in the rent here, else I could've had another happy moment when we got the power bill

| 02:10 | <Hyperbyte> How are you? I spent this morning installing official LTSP clients here. :)
| |
| 02:11 | All midi-tower PC's gone... :)

| 02:13 | <knipwim> good work Hyperbyte !
| |
| 02:19 | <Hyperbyte> Thanks! :)
| |
| 02:19 | Next project will be upgrading to Fedora 15...
| |
| 02:20 | Either that, or Ubuntu... I need to investigate.
| |
| 02:20 | Would love Fedora, but it kinda depends on Da-Geek. ;-)
| |
| 02:25 | * alkisg is also happy because he just automated wireless on/off in his laptop + router :P When I'm using a wired connection, wireless is automatically turned off in my laptop + router, and when I press win+w they're turned back on . dbus+curl ftw! :) | |
| 02:26 | <Da-Geek> Hyperbyte, not me anymore, as im sure you have seen that warren it taking it all back @ the moment
| |
| 02:27 | * Da-Geek will have to sit back and wait i guess see what Warren does... | |
| 02:28 | <Da-Geek> Hyperbyte, its an interesting approach to the situation, but it seems to have kick started things a bit
| |
| 02:52 | <Hyperbyte> Warren is only talking about LTSP with RHEL6 right?
| |
| 02:52 | I haven't seen him say anything about Fedora...
| |
| 02:53 | Because if he's doing Fedora as well I'd see how much I can get in the form of a donation....
| |
| 02:53 | Exchange rate of the euro vs. dollar is very good at the moment
| |
| 02:54 | But as far as I could gather, he didn't say a word about Fedora. I mentioned that I found it strange that your contributions were never committed to Fedora official packages, he didn't say anything about it...
| |
| 02:54 | Do please correct me if I'm wrong though.

| 03:33 | <Hyperbyte> I have problems with menu icons and text disappearing in OpenOffice... it's supposed to be caused by anti aliasing in combination with the video driver.
| |
| 03:34 | I've found some info on it, someone suggests changing xorg.conf settings. My question is: where? On the client or server?
| |
| 03:34 | I'd assume the anti aliasing is all done on the server, before the display is sent to the client
| |
| 03:35 | Is this correct?
| |
| 03:35 | Wait, no - it's not is it? I mean, the server's X isn't even used with LTSP right?
| |
| 03:36 | I think I just answered my own question.
| |
| 03:38 | Okay next question. How can I set xorg.conf options for all clients?
| |
| 03:42 | <alkisg> Hyperbyte: man lts.conf
| |
| 03:42 | If it's some weird option that's not there, you can use a customized xorg.conf and X_CONF=xxx
| |
| 03:42 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
| |
| 03:42 | X_OPTION_01...X_OPTION_12 A valid Device option
| |
| 03:42 | Which option you want, btw?
| |
| 03:45 | <Hyperbyte> Well at this point I'm just trying to see what does what
| |
| 03:45 | But apparently "RenderAccel" set to false is supposed to fix fonts in OpenOffice
| |
| 03:54 | <alkisg> X_OPTION_01="\"RenderAccel\" \"False\""
| |
| 03:55 | Also try disabling compiz, it might help
| |
| 03:56 | ogra_ (~ogra@p5098ed03.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) left irc: Ping timeout: 258 seconds | |
| 03:59 | <Hyperbyte> I don't think Compiz is enabled
| |
| 03:59 | How do I check?
| |
| 04:00 | I tried accessing "Desktop Settings" in the Gnome preferences, but that doesn't actually work.
| |
| 04:01 | <alkisg> ps -ef|grep -i compiz
| |
| 04:01 | or ps -ef|grep -i metacity
| |
| 04:02 | <Hyperbyte> It's using metacity.
| |
| 04:02 | <alkisg> That's on the client?
| |
| 04:02 | Or the server?
| |
| 04:02 | <Hyperbyte> Server
| |
| 04:02 | <alkisg> OK
| |
| 04:03 | <Hyperbyte> How can I check if the X_OPTION_01 actually gets set with X?
| |
| 04:03 | On the client?
| |
| 04:03 | <alkisg> Do you have a shell on the client?
| |
| 04:03 | <Hyperbyte> Yes
| |
| 04:03 | <alkisg> E.g. with ltsp-localapps xterm, or with ssh?
| |
| 04:03 | OK
| |
| 04:03 | getltscfg -a
| |
| 04:04 | <Hyperbyte> Well, that'll show it. lts.conf all works
| |
| 04:04 | But I was more wondering how I can see where it goes from there. Because I didn't notice any change on the clients whatsoever with the option set, also didn't find an xorg.conf file
| |
| 04:05 | <alkisg> ps -ef|grep xorg
| |
| 04:05 | It should be an option to X
| |
| 04:05 | <Hyperbyte> Ahh
| |
| 04:06 | Okay super.
| |
| 04:07 | Ah, it does it via /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf :) Nice.
| |
| 04:11 | No effect. :-) Still, nice experiment.
| |
| 04:16 | IOMonster_desk (~IOMonster@unaffiliated/iomonster) left irc: Ping timeout: 264 seconds | |
| 04:18 | <Da-Geek> Hyperbyte, if its an issue with the driver, just set the driver to something simple like 'vesa'
| |
| 04:19 | mikkel (~mikkel@80-71-132-15.u.parknet.dk) joined #ltsp. | |
| 04:20 | <Hyperbyte> Da-Geek, how do I do that in Fedora?
| |
| 04:22 | <Da-Geek> in the xorg.conf change the driver line to say something like, Driver "vesa"
| |
| 04:22 | Hyperbyte, i have no idea what the default is in LTSP.. it may already be vesa...
| |
| 04:23 | <Hyperbyte> No, it's i915
| |
| 04:23 | <alkisg> XSERVER=vesa, usually
| |
| 04:24 | Which chipset? lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA
| |
| 04:24 | <Hyperbyte> http://www.disklessworkstations.com/200123.html
| |
| 04:24 | :)
| |
| 04:24 | Intel GMA 950
| |
| 04:27 | I can safely say that VESA driver isn't going to work, or at least doesn't look like it
| |
| 04:27 | Then again, I am using these things with 1440x1024 displays, dual...
| |
| 04:28 | Or 1440x1080 actually
| |
| 04:28 | Anyway, LDM screen flickers madly (wrong refresh rate?), after login screen is all white... and second monitor doesn't even turn on
| |
| 04:29 | <alkisg> Try to set your desired output with xrandr
| |
| 04:29 | If you can do that, you can then put XRANDR* options to lts.conf
| |
| 04:31 | <Hyperbyte> :O That's gonna be a pain... I don't have identical displays for every client.
| |
| 04:31 | <alkisg> They _all_ flicker?
| |
| 04:31 | <Hyperbyte> I only tested with one.
| |
| 04:33 | I put XRANDR_MODE_0="1440x1080" and XRANDR_RATE_0="65"
| |
| 04:36 | No luck
| |
| 04:36 | I should mention something else, which I didn't think anything of before, but now I do...
| |
| 04:36 | With the new clients, LDM doesn't show "Username" prompt or logo
| |
| 04:36 | Wait
| |
| 04:36 | I should say "Username" label
| |
| 04:37 | It shows the prompt, just not the actual text
| |
| 04:37 | It does however show the "Password" prompt after entering the username
| |
| 04:37 | **label
| |
| 04:38 | Before we had one LTSP client to test with (also Intel GMA hardware) and it had the same symptoms (LDM only showing half, OpenOffice menu's disappearing)... back then I thought it was because it's a dualhead with two 22" monitors.. I thought it was a bug in LDM/OpenOffice
| |
| 04:39 | Now I'm starting to wonder, because the PC's I used before as netboot clients (with nvidia graphics cards) don't have this problem.
| |
| 04:40 | <alkisg> Did you also try nomodeset as a kernel parameter?
| |
| 04:40 | (if your fedora has kms, that is...)
| |
| 04:41 | <Hyperbyte> (I am slowly and surely regretting of not switching to Ubuntu last-minute)
| |
| 04:41 | (I highly considered it, but figured since I got this far, the rest would work out)
| |
| 04:41 | I only ever used Fedora for servers, it's always been pretty awesome at that... but the graphical part, even the non-LTSP graphical part, is seriously disappointing me...
| |
| 04:41 | :(
| |
| 04:42 | <alkisg> For some intel clients here I had to use a newer kernel. Fortunately it was as easy as "apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-backport-maverick"
| |
| 04:43 | <Hyperbyte> They're using kernel 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686

| 04:45 | ogra_ (~ogra@p5098ed03.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) joined #ltsp. | |
| 04:46 | <Hyperbyte> nomodeset didn't change anything
| |
| 04:50 | <alkisg> You can see it in `cat /proc/cmdline` ?
| |
| 04:51 | <Hyperbyte> Actually, no.
| |
| 04:51 | option option-129 code 129 = text;
| |
| 04:51 | option option-129 "nomodeset";
| |
| 04:51 | ^^ that's what I added to dhcpd.conf
| |
| 04:51 | <alkisg> That's for etherboot
| |
| 04:51 | It won't work with pxe clients
| |
| 04:51 | <Hyperbyte> :O
| |
| 04:52 | Okay, where do I put this? :)
| |
| 04:52 | <alkisg> In ubuntu it's in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 04:52 | <Hyperbyte> Okay, restart
| |
| 04:52 | Same in Fedora
| |
| 04:52 | <alkisg> Fedora uses nbd?
| |
| 04:52 | I thought it used nfs by default...
| |
| 04:57 | <Hyperbyte> It does
| |
| 04:57 | <alkisg> Weird that it uses tftp for lts.conf then, if it's already exported with nfs
| |
| 04:57 | E.g. debian uses /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
| |
| 04:58 | * Hyperbyte shrugs. :-) | |
| 04:58 | <Hyperbyte> Anyway
| |
| 04:58 | Modesetting disabled
| |
| 04:59 | Now X doesn't start with error "no kernel modesetting driver detected", from the intel module
| |
| 04:59 | <alkisg> Heh, fun
| |
| 04:59 | There are also some exa/uxa* related xorg.conf settings for the intel driver
| |
| 05:00 | Trial and error... hope it takes you less than a day :)
| |
| 05:00 | <Hyperbyte> This is way above my head. If you have anything I can copy/paste into lts.conf, or some documentation I can find...
| |
| 05:00 | I have one question really.
| |
| 05:00 | <alkisg> man intel
| |
| 05:00 | <Hyperbyte> Would switching to Ubuntu fix this?
| |
| 05:00 | <alkisg> That's your source for the settings...
| |
| 05:00 | No idea. You can try with the edubuntu live dvd
| |
| 05:00 | It offers live ltsp so you can test without installing anything
| |
| 05:01 | E.g. if you use the natty dvd, the xorg problem might be fixed there
| |
| 05:01 | And maybe if you used a more recent fedora version, it might be fixed there too, but afaik ltsp won't work on newer fedora?
| |
| 05:02 | <Hyperbyte> Well, it can. But apparently Warren Togami doesn't want it to.
| |
| 05:02 | Only on RedHat Enterprise Linux
| |
| 05:02 | Unless I really misunderstood the discussion on the k12linux mailing list
| |
| 05:02 | <alkisg> You don't have other repositories for non official packages?
| |
| 05:03 | <Hyperbyte> It's a bit technical for me, Da-Geek could probably explain it better
| |
| 05:03 | <alkisg> Anyway, it doesn't matter
| |
| 05:03 | <Hyperbyte> Why not? :)
| |
| 05:03 | <alkisg> I mean that it doesn't matter if you have non-official repositories or not, if you don't have someone to get the packages ready
| |
| 05:04 | <Hyperbyte> Oh, yeah.
| |
| 05:04 | <alkisg> E.g. when I want something fixed for greek schools, I just override the ubuntu package with our "greek schools ppa" repository
| |
| 05:04 | <Hyperbyte> Well there are a bunch of unofficial reposities I think... for things like MP3 support, proprietary drivers for nvidia/ati...
| |
| 05:04 | <alkisg> So that gives us a good way to support many schools even if some packages in ubuntu lack something
| |
| 05:06 | <Hyperbyte> If I were to switch to Ubuntu, which version/spinoff would you recommend?
| |
| 05:06 | <alkisg> I'm using LTS releases, but considering your problem, I'd recommend edubuntu 11.04
| |
| 05:07 | <Hyperbyte> LTS releases are older?
| |
| 05:07 | <alkisg> They release every 2 years, while non-LTS every 6 months
| |
| 05:07 | <Hyperbyte> Ahh
| |
| 05:07 | <alkisg> So current LTS==10.04, and current non-LTS==11.04, one year younger
| |
| 05:08 | <Hyperbyte> :)
| |
| 05:08 | Also, something I've been wondering about... what's the relation between LTSP and DLWS?
| |
| 05:08 | Diskless Workstations
| |
| 05:09 | <alkisg> I think they founded ltsp and they had developers working in it until ltsp 4 or something
| |
| 05:09 | Then ubuntu put some developers for ltsp 5, and dlws focused on selling their stuff? Dunno, something like that
| |
| 05:10 | Now I don't think any of the ltsp developers are being paid by dlws or any distro for working on ltsp
| |
| 05:13 | <mgariepy> Hyperbyte, what intel card do you have ?
| |
| 05:13 | i have some issue on natty with intel...
| |
| 05:15 | alexqwesa (~alex@alexo-veto.broker.freenet6.net) left irc: Read error: Operation timed out | |
| 05:15 | <Hyperbyte> mgariepy, I'm using LTSP terminals 1720
| |
| 05:16 | They have Intel GMA 950
| |
| 05:16 | <alkisg> Hyperbyte: also try X_OPTION_01="\"NoAccel\" \"True\""
| |
| 05:16 | <Hyperbyte> I did :(
| |
| 05:16 | No actually, I just tried "NoAccel"
| |
| 05:16 | Without the True bit.
| |
| 05:16 | <alkisg> You tried RenderAccel, did you also try NoAccel?
| |
| 05:16 | OK
| |
| 05:16 | Try it
| |
| 05:17 | <Hyperbyte> Trying
| |
| 05:17 | <alkisg> Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
| |
| 05:17 | Disable or enable acceleration.
| |
| 05:17 | So just "noaccel" wouldn't work, afaik
| |
| 05:17 | alexqwesa (~alex@alexo-veto.broker.freenet6.net) joined #ltsp. | |
| 05:22 | <Hyperbyte> I made sure the NoAccel made it into /var/run/ltsp-xorg.org
| |
| 05:22 | Which it did
| |
| 05:23 | But it didn't have the desired effect
| |
| 05:23 | <alkisg> Did you also try vesa and/or fbdev?
| |
| 05:23 | <Hyperbyte> fbdev? Doesn't ring a bell.
| |
| 05:24 | <alkisg> It's like vesa but a little better
| |
| 05:24 | <Hyperbyte> I tried XSERVER=vesa earlier, but screen started acting up (flickering)... tried XRANDR mode like you suggested, also no cake.
| |
| 05:24 | So XSERVER=fbdev?
| |
| 05:29 | Hehe, with that it runs at perhaps 320x200 or something, with weird colors. :)
| |
| 05:31 | http://local.recreatie-zorg.nl/jan/ltsp-fedora-ldm.jpg <- this is what it does without any special options, thought I'd demonstrate what LDM looks like. Only the login prompt appears, the logo and input box label isn't there (I made a custom theme)
| |
| 05:32 | ltsp-fedora-ldm-fbdev.jpg <- that's what it looks like with fbdev
| |
| 05:33 | <alkisg> Hehe, cute
| |
| 05:43 | <Hyperbyte> mgariepy? :-)
| |
| 05:45 | alkisg, does Edubuntu still use Gnome 2?
| |
| 05:45 | <mgariepy> yep
| |
| 05:45 | in 11.04
| |
| 05:45 | <Hyperbyte> Ah
| |
| 05:45 | <mgariepy> up until 11.04
| |
| 05:45 | <Hyperbyte> Did you see my comment up above, mgariepy, about the Intel GMA 950?
| |
| 05:46 | Because I'd like to know if you're having the same problems as me.
| |
| 05:46 | I'd absolutely hate it if I switched all the way over to Ubuntu just to run into the same problem.
| |
| 05:47 | <alkisg> You can try ltsp with the live cd in just a few minutes
| |
| 05:47 | <mgariepy> i don't have this one but i have transparency bug on some chipset in 11.04 and 3d acceleration is broken
| |
| 05:47 | <alkisg> No need to "switch" before testing...
| |
| 05:47 | markit (~marco@88-149-177-66.staticnet.ngi.it) left irc: Remote host closed the connection | |
| 05:47 | <mgariepy> you can start a live ltsp from the edubuntu dvd
| |
| 05:48 | http://edubuntu.org/documentation/ltsp-live
| |
| 05:49 | <Hyperbyte> Could (probably should) do that yeah..
| |
| 05:49 | Although I'm included to conclude that it's the best thing and since I'm using LTSP terminals it should just work.
| |
| 05:49 | *inclined
| |
| 05:50 | <mgariepy> it 11.04 doesn't work maybe you can try 10.10
| |
| 05:51 | the two bug i talked about are launchpad #785280 and #785368

| 08:24 | <vagrantc> highvoltage: excellent!

| |
| 11:28 | * alkisg has never seen LTSP 4.2 | |
| 11:28 | <alkisg> If it's using nfs for the root file system, you might want to change option root-path in dhcpd.conf
| |

| 13:05 | <abeehc> rdesktop is special and runs locally - at least on ltsp5
| |
| 13:10 | <alkisg> dantix: if the application runs after logon, it runs on the server
| |
| 13:10 | (usually)
| |
| 13:10 | Do you logon to run rdesktop? Or it runs directly before logon?
| |
| 13:12 | <dantix> alkisg: before :'(
| |
| 13:13 | <alkisg> That's good, it runs faster this way
| |
| 13:13 | You just need one of the above methods to see the process list, if you want it
| |
| 13:13 | Because rdesktop runs local
| |
| 13:14 | <dantix> then is magic! pentium 133 with 32MB RAM runs flawlessly rdesktop, amazing
| |
| 13:14 | alkisg: thanks a lot
| |
| 13:15 | <alkisg> Ah, that's why you need ltsp 4.2 :)
| |
| 13:15 | LTSP 5 wouldn't work on that
| |
| 13:15 | <dantix> alkisg: recently I've took control from this instalation, I hope in the near future migrate to the last version
| |
| 13:16 | <alkisg> You'll need better hardware before you upgrade ltsp
| |
| 13:16 | Don't even think about upgrading without 128 ram

| |
| 13:18 | so i have my ltsp server setup, and my thin clients boot up
| |
| 13:19 | but when i attempt to login, i get a message below the password field that says "message from server: rebooting..."
| |
| 13:19 | any ideas what i have setup wrong?
| |
| 13:20 | <dantix> alkisg: right, taken a note of that...

| |
| 13:26 | <dubkat> http://pastebin.com/jxnx13T1
| |
| 13:26 | got some errors
| |
| 13:27 | its like it cant make up its mind, i386 or i686

| |
| 13:30 | <dubkat> ubuntu 11.04
| |
| 13:30 | <alkisg> Why is there an i686 dir?
| |
| 13:30 | It should either be i386, or amd64...
| |
| 13:30 | Did you manually create that?
| |
| 13:31 | (/opt/ltsp/i686)
| |
| 13:31 | <dubkat> i do *not* know, i did not create it by hand
| |
| 13:31 | to start over, i just wipe out that directory, right?
| |
| 13:31 | <alkisg> ls -l /opt/ltsp
| |
| 13:31 | What do you have there?
| |
| 13:31 | <dubkat> rm -rf /opt/ltsp
| |
| 13:32 | root@cheetah:~# ls -hl /opt/ltsp/
| |
| 13:32 | total 12K

| 13:32 | drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4.0K 2011-05-20 13:44 i386

| 13:32 | drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2011-05-20 16:24 images
| |
| 13:32 | <alkisg> OK, just rm -rf /opt/ltsp/i686
| |
| 13:32 | I don't think you need to delete the i386 one yet, unless some other error comes up
| |
| 13:33 | So now ltsp-update-sshkeys shouldn't complain, right?
| |
| 13:35 | <dubkat> ok, so that worked
| |
| 13:35 | and not, sshkeys didn't complain
| |
| 13:35 | so now i logged in as a test user
| |
| 13:36 | blah blahblah, no hardware for unity... ok. thats nice, i don't care
| |
| 13:36 | how do i make that shut up for all the other users?
| |
| 13:36 | and also, other than a wallpaper, there's no desktop (but i CAN right click and get a menu)
| |
| 13:36 | did i miss a step somewhere?
| |
| 13:36 | * alkisg sticks with LTS releases, no idea about 11.04, wait for someone else... :) | |
