| 03:19 | <Appiah> why
| |
| 03:33 | <NeonLicht> What is the current way to use USB memmory sticks on the clients now, please? I believe I read somewhere that setting local-devs is not necesary? The client detecs the drive and creates the device (/dev/sda and /dev/sda1)
| |
| 03:34 | <muppis> NeonLicht, which distro? I don't rely my memory.
| |
| 03:38 | <NeonLicht> I use Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze.

| 03:40 | <muppis> NeonLicht, ach. Then I don't know. I've heard about bug in Ubuntu with amd64 clients.
| |
| 03:42 | <daduke> howdy y'all. We also fell victim to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/474392 (LTSP users can shut down the terminal server) and now keep wondering why it's marked 'low' and hasn't been addressed in 2+ years.. Kinda important in a multiuser environment...
| |
| 03:43 | Trixboxer (~Trixboxer@office.supportdepartment.net) joined #ltsp. | |
| 03:44 | <Appiah> never seen that issue
| |
| 03:44 | and still present in natty?
| |
| 03:45 | I've used jaunty and karmic mostly
| |
| 03:46 | "this is a buig in indicator session missing the patch from bug #282610"
| |
| 03:46 | and that bug says fix released
| |
| 03:46 | XTaran (~abe@kiva6.ethz.ch) joined #ltsp. | |
| 03:46 | <XTaran> Morning.
| |
| 03:46 | <daduke> Appiah: well it doesn't seem to be fixed for us...
| |
| 03:47 | <Appiah> have you been upgrading all along?
| |
| 03:47 | or is this a fresh install?
| |
| 03:47 | <XTaran> daduke: Natty on plimpy IIRC, lucid on plompy.
| |
| 03:47 | <daduke> Appiah: right now it's a fresh install
| |
| 03:48 | <XTaran> daduke: tarzeau will come here.
| |
| 03:48 | tarzeau (~gurkan@bee.ethz.ch) joined #ltsp. | |
| 03:48 | <Appiah> scary
| |
| 03:48 | <XTaran> Appiah: :)
| |
| 03:48 | <Appiah> Would be nice to know what's causing this beacuse I have not seen it on my LTSP installs
| |
| 03:48 | <daduke> Appiah: I'm just here to break the ice :) tarzeau knows the details
| |
| 03:48 | <tarzeau> daduke: auf plompy haben wir 10.04.2 (lucid) und auf plimpy (natty, 11.04)
| |
| 03:50 | <daduke> Appiah: one possibility could be gnome settings in users' homes as some of them have a 5+ year history
| |
| 03:50 | <Appiah> oh
| |
| 03:50 | that would be confirmed by creating a new user?
| |
| 03:51 | <XTaran> daduke: But if they cause such issues, that's a big bug.
| |
| 03:51 | <daduke> Appiah: true. tarzeau?
| |
| 03:51 | <XTaran> daduke: plimpy is currently at Dalco because of spontaneous shutdowns... *sigh*
| |
| 03:52 | <Appiah> umm do the users get 2 options? shutdown (server) and shutdown client? or is it just "shutdown" and thats the server?
| |
| 03:52 | <tarzeau> daduke: yes gnome configuration files have cause problems since i've been here
| |
| 03:52 | daduke: afer every major update (that's about every 2 years)
| |
| 03:52 | (kde isn't better in that case though)
| |
| 03:54 | <daduke> tarzeau: can you answer this? (2 options) [12:52]
| |
| 03:55 | <tarzeau> Appiah: just shutdown, just like it was a local machine, just like at here:
| |
| 03:55 | <Appiah> ah ok

| 04:02 | <alkisg> daduke: see also this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/491940
| |
| 04:03 | I proposed a patch in gnome-session that made reboot/shutdown work for the client instead of the server
| |
| 04:03 | It never got accepted :-/

| 04:16 | <alkisg> Btw, about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/474392/comments/3 :
| |
| 04:16 | LTSP doesn't provide any policykit related configuration files. It uses the defaults. The defaults should also work for ssh -X, nx, x2go, xdmcp and others. This problem isn't specific to LTSP.

| 04:41 | <daduke> tarzeau: ok then we need to look someplace else
| |
| 04:42 | alkisg: thanks. I was not aware of that.
| |
| 04:50 | <alkisg> tarzeau, daduke: if you're able to shutdown the server from indicator-session, then that means that the policykit defaults have changed in natty, and allow remote users to shutdown the server through dbus calls
| |
| 04:51 | You should see some entry about the change in the policykit changelog
| |
| 04:51 | And of course you can revert the change until the bug is resolved
| |
| 04:52 | <daduke> alkisg: thanks for that
| |
| 04:52 | <tarzeau> or we just rename /sbin/shutdown as suggested in some bug report at ubuntu
| |
| 04:52 | (which works)
| |
| 04:52 | <XTaran> tarzeau: Until someone finds it.
| |
| 04:53 | <tarzeau> removing indicator-session doesn't help (no more logout possible in unity), as one can still do ctrl-alt-del to get another menu to shutdown
| |
| 04:53 | <alkisg> Locating + overriding the policykit setting sounds like a better approach, you'd do that with a file in /etc, preserved across updates and everything
| |
| 04:53 | No need to take such drastic measures like renaming /sbin/shutdown
| |
| 04:54 | <tarzeau> suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1427933
| |
| 04:55 | <XTaran> alkisg: I can't find any consolekit/policykit related files in the ltsp-server package, neither in lucid nor natty. Any hint on where to look at LTSP's way to change policykit's configuration?
| |
| 04:55 | <alkisg> tarzeau: IMHO it's not a good suggestion :D
| |
| 04:55 | XTaran: it's not at all LTSP related
| |
| 04:55 | * XTaran nods. | |
| 04:55 | <alkisg> Start here: dpkg -L policykit-1
| |
| 04:55 | <tarzeau> alkisg: i agree, but if it's the only possible solution - except patching the broken software?
| |
| 04:56 | <XTaran> alkisg: Yeah, I'm already through that.
| |
| 04:56 | <alkisg> Somewhere there is the setting you're looking for, and it's been changed from lucid to natty apparently
| |
| 04:56 | So you just create a new file in /etc to override that, and you're done
| |
| 04:56 | <XTaran> alkisg: But I'd expect that LTSP ships an appropriate config to disable that.
| |
| 04:56 | <alkisg> No, LTSP doesn't care about policykit
| |
| 04:57 | nx, ssh -X, xmdcp, x2go etc also don't care about it
| |
| 04:57 | <XTaran> alkisg: Interesting. So by default, LTSP users can shutdown the LTSP server?
| |
| 04:57 | <muppis> alkisg, you gave me url about usb mounting in amd64, but I lost it. :(
| |
| 04:57 | <alkisg> All those are just "remote users" - and policy kit defines defaults for their configuration
| |
| 04:57 | <XTaran> alkisg: I see. That's the hint I looked for (I hope :)
| |
| 04:57 | alkisg: Thanks!
| |
| 04:57 | <alkisg> XTaran: if what you're saying is true, then you should see an entry in policykit saying:
| |
| 04:58 | "allowshutdown: remote admin, local admin" (don't remember the syntax)
| |
| 04:58 | And you'd just need to remove the remote part there
| |
| 04:58 | <XTaran> alkisg: That's another helpful hint, thanks! :)
| |
| 04:59 | * XTaran tried to look for org.freedesktop.consolekit.manager.stop et al. | |
| 05:03 | <alkisg> Right, in my lucid box, for org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop I have:
| |
| 05:03 | <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
| |
| 05:03 | <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
| |
| 05:04 | And as the ltsp (remote) users are by default considered inactive, they don't have the rights to shutdown the system
| |
| 05:04 | <XTaran> alkisg: How or where can I see that?
| |
| 05:04 | <alkisg> cat /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy
| |
| 05:04 | Btw pastebin that in order to compare the natty version to my lucid
| |
| 05:05 | Because if that has not changed, then the definition of "active" has changed to include ssh users too
| |
| 05:05 | <XTaran> <allow_active>auth_admin</allow_active>
| |
| 05:05 | (from natty)
| |
| 05:05 | <alkisg> For <action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop"> ?
| |
| 05:05 | <XTaran> And it's <action id="org.freedesktop.policykit.lockdown">
| |
| 05:05 | <alkisg> No, not lockdown
| |
| 05:05 | <XTaran> There is no stop anymore in that file.
| |
| 05:06 | otavio (~otavio@debian/developer/otavio) joined #ltsp. | |
| 05:06 | <alkisg> Grep that directory for consolekit
| |
| 05:06 | <XTaran> alkisg: http://paste.debian.net/120634/
| |
| 05:06 | <alkisg> To see where it stores its actions
| |
| 05:07 | XTaran: wrong file?
| |
| 05:07 | | |
| 05:07 | Not policykit...
| |
| 05:07 | <XTaran> alkisg: Ah, fsck, my fault, sorry.
| |
| 05:08 | alkisg: Yeah, still in there.
| |
| 05:09 | <alkisg> XTaran: can you run `ck-list-sessions` on a natty ltsp server, with some ltsp user connected?
| |
| 05:09 | We'll see if the definition of "active" has changed with this...
| |
| 05:09 | <XTaran> alkisg: Unfortunately currently not.
| |
| 05:09 | <alkisg> OK, note it down for when you're able to continue troubleshooting this
| |
| 05:10 | <XTaran> Argh. And I was still logged in on the lucid LTSP server. Meh.
| |
| 05:10 | But a (non-LTSP) natty host looks similar.
| |
| 05:11 | <alkisg> The question is, if ssh users are considered "active" in natty output of `ck-list-sessions`
| |
| 05:11 | <XTaran> Anyway, I'll experiment with changing or copying those files for a more severe lockdown.
| |
| 05:11 | alkisg: At least not root. Just a sec for a normal user.
| |
| 05:12 | <alkisg> XTaran: don't modify those files, those are the package defaults
| |
| 05:12 | Put your settings in /etc instead
| |
| 05:12 | <XTaran> alkisg: I know
| |
| 05:12 | <alkisg> OK
| |
| 05:12 | <XTaran> alkisg: Normal ssh login is not regarded as active according to ck-list-sessions.
| |
| 05:13 | <alkisg> Then I wonder how the user can initiate shutdown, if he's inactive an PK prohibits him
| |
| 05:13 | * XTaran too. | |
| 05:13 | * XTaran tries to get all users not being able to shutdown the box. | |
| 05:15 | <XTaran> CK/PK is uncharted territory for me, who's usually using tiled window managers and was fine with linux on the desktop before this stuff came to the surface.
| |
| 05:15 | s/tiled/tiling/
| |
| 05:17 | alkisg: Do you have one more hint for me? Where in /etc/ should these files go? /etc/polkit-1 and /etc/ConsoleKit don't contain any XML files, only INI syntax files.
| |
| 05:18 | <alkisg> XTaran: I remember a man page or readme file telling exactly where each part should put its configuration (packages, vendors, sysadmins etc)
| |
| 05:18 | So try man pages + readme first
| |
| 05:19 | Yeah I agree about PK/CK too, even though I only switched 3 years ago...
| |
| 05:19 | <XTaran> Well, what I read so far from PK/CK documentation was quite incomplete, but I'll look again.
| |
| 05:19 | <alkisg> They don't sound too well structured to me
| |
| 05:20 | XTaran: it's there in `man polkit`, I just looked for it again
| |
| 05:20 | Ah no it just lists the different sources there. Well. anyway, gotta go. Bb
| |
| 05:20 | <XTaran> alkisg: Thanks anyway.
| |
| 05:21 | alkisg: The hints helped me a few steps forward.
| |
| 05:21 | <alkisg> You're welcome

| 05:36 | * tarzeau has gotten a bad headache from seeing how something is achived compared to how much easier it could've been done | |
| 05:36 | <XTaran> Ok, got it. Changing some "allow" to "deny" in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf helped.

| 07:12 | <bkone> I am thinking about setting up ltsp using openSUSE. I currently have about 10 PCs that are using openSUSE for just web kiosk machines. I want to use ltsp so I only have one image to maintain and was wondering how many PCs can run from one instance of ltsp? The main machine is a 2proc, 2GB RAM machine. Will those specs works? Could I use a VM to host ltsp server?
| |
| 07:12 | sep (~sep@40.211.jostedal.no) joined #ltsp. | |
| 07:14 | <bkone> I also should mention we already use PXE on the network so I am wondering how that will work. We use PXE to allow for booting into a Symantec pxe boot so Ghost can be ran to re-image PCs. WIll I need to modify something on the DHCP server?
| |
| 07:16 | <dingz> bkone: you can server diffenent stuff to different hosts
| |
| 07:17 | serve even
| |
| 07:17 | depending on their mac-address for example
| |
| 07:21 | spectra (~spectra@debian/developer/spectra) left irc: Ping timeout: 255 seconds | |
| 07:33 | <bkone> Where or how do I configure that? I was thinking about doing MAC address so when one of the ten machines came online during the PXE boot it would see the MAC address and know to load the ltsp openSUSE image. Is this done on the DHCP server?

| 08:58 | <dead_root> so... the fat clients do a great job of auto-mounting a /home directory when a user logs in, but it wont mount if the user's home directory is in /opt/ltsp-users. is there anywhere i can change /home to /opt/ltsp-users in the login mount script?

| 09:11 | <alkisg> dead_root: try setting LDM_HOME in lts.conf
| |
| 09:11 | (assuming you're using the default sshfs, and not nfs)
| |
| 09:13 | mikkel (~mikkel@80-71-132-15.u.parknet.dk) joined #ltsp. | |
| 09:14 | <alkisg> Nah sorry that's an internal variable. It should work with any user home dir, as long as it's in /etc/passwd though
| |
| 09:15 | Are you using symlinks?
| |
| 09:15 | <dead_root> no
| |
| 09:16 | the home dirs on the server are an nfs4 mount to a different server
| |
| 09:17 | <alkisg> Why not use nfs_home instead of the default sshfs home then?
| |
| 09:17 | But ok, it should still work
| |
| 09:17 | <dead_root> because there are non ltsp clients on the network, like windows computers, and i dont think nfs is secure enough
| |
| 09:18 | the servers have their own network that nfs can talk on
| |
| 09:18 | <alkisg> OK. So, /opt/ltsp-users is directly mounted with nfs4, and it's also listed as the user home in /etc/passwd?
| |
| 09:19 | <dead_root> they are ldap users, but you can getent passwd and it shows /opt/ltsp-users/ltsp1
| |
| 09:19 | etc..
| |
| 09:20 | <alkisg> Can you get the output of `mount` of the fat client, when a user is (not really succesfully) logged in?
| |
| 09:20 | <dead_root> yes i can ssh to the fat client
| |
| 09:21 | <alkisg> Also, you can try and see if sshfs works over nfs4, from e.g. a standalone pc on your network (not fat client)
| |
| 09:21 | <dead_root> http://pastebin.com/Hr5cdnVY
| |
| 09:21 | k
| |
| 09:22 | <alkisg> Since you have ssh to the fat client, you can do that from there too
| |
| 09:24 | E.g. sshfs user@server:/opt/ltsp-users/user /mnt
| |
| 09:25 | <dead_root> i might have the client pointing to the wrong ldm server, one sec
| |
| 09:25 | i am going to feel so stupid if that was it
| |
| 09:39 | alkisg i feel real stupid. my whole problem was i pointed the client at the wrong ldm server, thanks for you help

| |
| 11:31 | thats before rdesktop login actually takes place
| |
| 11:31 | /join ##windows
| |
| 11:36 | the weird thing is all seems well till i remote desktop'ed into the the terminal server using a fat client (win7) while i had the same user logged in.. but i dont know if thats just coincidental that it crashed at that time

| |
| 12:08 | <mgariepy> try to reboot

| 12:09 | <TheMatrix3000> hey
| |
| 12:09 | the link in /topic is bad
| |
| 12:09 | has a , in it
| |
| 12:10 | <alkisg> Nah your client should have stopped parsing the url at that point
| |
| 12:10 | What are you using?
| |
| 12:10 | <TheMatrix3000> trillian lol

| 12:11 | <TheMatrix3000> i can just do a wget http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/annotate/1777/client/initramfs/scripts/ltsp_nbd
| |
| 12:11 | right
| |
| 12:11 | <alkisg> The nbd_proxy=false parameter was released in Maverick, that's why a more recent ltsp_nbd is needed in Lucid

| 12:45 | haha forgot to readd IPAPPEND 3
| |
| 12:45 | <alkisg> That's what the next 2 steps are for
| |
| 12:45 | So that you don't have to put it again and again after each ltsp-update-kernels
| |
| 12:45 | <TheMatrix3000> yea

| |
| 12:47 | <alkisg> Probably you didn't manage to correctly edit ltsp_nbd
| |
| 12:47 | Maybe you used wget and you got an html page?
| |
| 12:47 | Try: head -n 3 /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/ltsp_nbd
| |
| 12:47 | <TheMatrix3000> haha
| |
| 12:48 | yea
| |
| 12:48 | lol
| |
| 12:48 | how can i download it without wget
| |
| 12:48 | <alkisg> You can use wget
| |
| 12:48 | Just put quotes around the url
| |
| 12:48 | <TheMatrix3000> ah ok
| |
| 12:49 | <alkisg> As it contains symbols that are interpreted by the shell as commands etc
| |
| 12:50 | <sunscreen> ahaha!!
| |
| 12:50 | <TheMatrix3000> yea it still did it
| |
| 12:50 | downloaded it using ""
| |
| 12:50 | and it still gave me a webpage
| |
| 12:50 | <alkisg> What's the command that you're using?
| |
| 12:50 | <TheMatrix3000> sudo wget "http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/annotate/1777/client/initramfs/scripts/ltsp_nbd"
| |
| 12:51 | <alkisg> Nope
| |
| 12:51 | <sunscreen> i think ltsp is making my terminal server think its under attack
| |
| 12:51 | <alkisg> Visit that page. There's a download link
| |
| 12:51 | <TheMatrix3000> head -n 3 /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/ltsp_nbd
| |
| 12:51 | <alkisg> TheMatrix3000___: then use the download link, not the bazaar url
| |
| 12:51 | <TheMatrix3000> ah ill use scp to get it to the server then
| |
| 12:51 | <alkisg> In the right side, "download file"
| |
| 12:52 | <sunscreen> just a theory ... has this ever arsed as a issue before now?
| |
| 12:52 | <alkisg> sunscreen: windows has a setting for how many seconds an rdp session can "sit" in the login screen
| |
| 12:53 | <TheMatrix3000> there we go thanks alkisg
| |
| 12:53 | <alkisg> By default it's just a few secs, so if you have an ltsp rdesktop client, it'll keep reconnecting e.g. twice per minute
| |
| 12:53 | sunscreen: so if that's the problem, you need to search for that windows setting and increase it to e.g. half an hour
| |
| 12:53 | Try #windows :)
| |
| 12:54 | <sunscreen> ok tnx :D i found this one too and gave it a value of 50 as per some ones instructions 'MaxOutstandingConnect'
| |
| 12:56 | <TheMatrix3000> well i got to a blank screen haha
| |
| 12:56 | i think it's working
| |
| 12:57 | nope
| |
| 12:57 | i get this now alksig
| |
| 12:58 | http://screencast.com/t/t83JMwUtq
| |
| 12:58 | that's after the gnome login screen
| |
| 12:58 | <alkisg> Do you have ubuntu-desktop installed on your server?
| |
| 12:58 | <TheMatrix3000> not on the server side
| |
| 12:58 | <alkisg> Yeah that's the problem then. You need a desktop environment for the thin clients.
| |
| 12:58 | <TheMatrix3000> i thought ltsp-build-client
| |
| 12:59 | did that
| |
| 12:59 | <alkisg> LTSP clients are like windows machines doing an rdesktop to your server
| |
| 12:59 | <TheMatrix3000> or do i have to do a chroot apt-get install
| |
| 12:59 | <alkisg> If you don't have a DE on your server, they can't show anything
| |
| 12:59 | <TheMatrix3000> ah ok
| |
| 12:59 | <alkisg> No, you need to install ubuntu-desktop on your server
| |
| 12:59 | <TheMatrix3000> hmm really
| |
| 12:59 | we don't on our current one
| |
| 13:00 | we have no gui on the server itself just for the ltsp clients
| |
| 13:00 | ok, so just run a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
| |
| 13:00 | <alkisg> That can't be true, so you either have a DE on your server, or you're using fat clients currently :)
| |
| 13:00 | Or better yet with tasksel
| |
| 13:01 | <TheMatrix3000> whats tasksel
| |
| 13:01 | i didn't set the current one up
| |
| 13:01 | so
| |
| 13:01 | lol
| |
| 13:01 | i guess ill be installing ubuntu-desktop
| |
| 13:01 | <alkisg> Run this:
| |
| 13:01 | sudo tasksel

| 14:56 | <sunscreen> the problem arises when you have multiple ltsp clients all running rdesktop, then when they are all sitting at the login screen they must all get booted after a while, then they reconnect and this is triggering "termserv's" defense system which is to just shut down lol..

| 14:59 | <sunscreen> I can not find the settings alkisg suggested specifically, but some suggestions suggestions from Mockstar and ||cw form #windows-server is to setup the rdesktop scritps to only activate rdesktop when the screensaver is deactivated or make a zenity dialog to with a click button to "start session"

| 18:24 | <TheMatrix3000> anyone know how to get firefox 5 on thin client
| |
| 18:26 | as a local app
| |
| 18:45 | <highvoltage> you just install it in your thin client chroot like any other local app? presumably from a ppa?
| |
| 18:47 | <TheMatrix3000> it didn't take the command
| |
| 18:47 | but I did find teh deb repository
| |
| 18:47 | and I think i have it now
| |
| 18:47 | well i added firefox-stable and got 4.0
| |
| 18:47 | think firefox-next will have 5.0
