<miks>
Anyone around at the moment?
00:14
<nubae>
sorta
00:14
<miks>
Ha!
00:14
I'm having some trouble with a thin client booting to the wrong screen
00:14
Hyperbyte gave me some advice earlier, but I'm stuck again
00:14
It's an all-in-one machine, and it won't boot to the built-in monitor
00:15
I have an external hooked up to it, but I don't know what to do now. I ran Xrandr, and it returned the information for VGA-1 and VGA-2
00:15
But if I specify a specific VGA in the lts.conf, I just get blank screen
00:15
Any thoughts?
00:20
<nubae>
well he's right tou would have to play with the xrandr settings
00:20
there might be something abotu that in thee ltsp manual
00:20
setting it in lts.conf
00:21Selveste1 has joined IRC (Selveste1!~Selveste1@31.25.23.230)
00:21
<miks>
found that section, and added XRANDR_OUTPUT_01 = VGA1 to my file
00:22
Then it didn't show the built-in OR external monitor
00:22
<nubae>
maybe vga0?
00:22
<miks>
I tried that too :-(
00:22
<nubae>
vga2?
00:23
<miks>
When I run Xandr on the actual thin client, I get results for VGA-1 and VGA-2
00:23
But specifying either of those in the LTS results in blank screens
00:23
<nubae>
ah ok.. cant u copy the xrandr results and make the lts.conf load a specific xconf
00:24
<miks>
Maybe, can you point me in the right direction? I have the results saved to text
00:25
<nubae>
get the desired xrandr output on the thin client, then sftp that to the server
00:25
call it blah.conf and force the thin client to load that xorg.conf file instead
00:25vagrantc has joined IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@75-150-46-245-Oregon.hfc.comcastbusiness.net)
00:26
<nubae>
the manual should have the exact jargon
00:26
oh and u need to run X_CONF=True I believe too
00:27
vagrantc, maybe able to help u, he's an absolute LTSP genius
00:27
<miks>
Vagrant - are you in Oregon?
00:27
<nubae>
:p
00:27* nubae hides
00:27
<miks>
Thanks nubae
00:29
Vagrant, I think we've met before. This is actually a machine I got from FreeGeek on a grant, so I think it's one of yours! :-)
00:29
It's a Gateway Profile 4, (all-in-one), and I can't seem to get the built-in monitor to work
00:30
<vagrantc>
miks: for about 24 hours
00:30
<nubae>
oh snap
00:30
<vagrantc>
miks: ah, quite possible
00:30
i've actually gotta run soon, though
00:30
<miks>
I think Nate introduced us
00:30
Okay
00:30
Well I'm stuck in my lab on these 3 computers, which are all Profile 4 machines
00:30
<vagrantc>
sounds like you're talking about custom X configuration?
00:30
<miks>
They're the last ones giving me trouble
00:31
When they boot up, they seem to want to use the external VGA port instead of the built in monitor
00:31
Built-in is just blank
00:31
<vagrantc>
aha!
00:31
Gadi actually knows how to do that sort of thing
00:31
<miks>
Okeedoke
00:32
<vagrantc>
i think you do some xrandr magic
00:32
<miks>
I have my Xorg.0.log and xrandr results, I just don't know what to do with them
00:33
<vagrantc>
me neither
00:33
<nubae>
put them somewhere on the thin client
00:33
then point to them from lts.conf
00:33
its in the manual
00:33
had that issue long time ago when a partcular monitor wasnt supported by ltsp but was by ubuntu
00:34
so pointed directly to the xorg.conf
00:34
<miks>
I can't seem to get the internal monitor working in order to get the custom Xorg
00:35
I guess I somehow need to have X configure itself for the built-in monitor, and then use that information, but I'm at a loss as to how to do that.... :-(
00:38
<nubae>
well do it with another computer for example

i'm hoping to get in contact with a POS developer today.
13:44
our POS is 10 yrs old and it's the devil.
13:44
i want to replace it.
13:44
what are you up to today?

13:54
<xsl>
hello all, is it possible to have an application on the LTSP-IMAGE (client computer) like teamviewer so i can see help other users?
13:55
<alkisg>
Sure, italc, epoptes, plain vnc, or even teamviewer will do
13:55
!epoptes
13:55
<ltsp>
alkisg: epoptes: Epoptes is a computer lab administration and monitoring tool. It works on Ubuntu (and hopefully Debian) based LTSP or non-LTSP servers, thin and fat clients, standalone workstations, NX clients etc. More info: http://www.epoptes.org
14:09
<xsl>
tyvm
14:11
<andygraybeal>
Hyperbyte, POS = point of sale; the cash register at the restaurant.
14:13
wow, is epoptes new? i remember italc was kind of sketchy
14:13
i'll loook it up

looks new, from september 2011

aajh ot
14:15
ahhh.. it's based on software by alkisg :)))) yay.

15:15
<xsl>
how can i connect to the clients session and do some sort of remote control ( with the users acknowledge - i dont want a way to just watch with the user not knowing)
15:19
<alkisg>
Tell the user to enable remote desktop from his preferences
15:20
<xsl>
can that be donne to all users with gconf?
15:21
and what do i use to connect to it?
15:21
<alkisg>
You use the vinagre client
15:21
You can do it with gconf too, sure
15:25
<xsl>
i believe this will be better than using teamviewer like we talked before
15:25
the tools are already there
15:25
ty for your help
15:26
<alkisg>
The main problem is that you don't know the client port
15:26
You'll need a small wrapper script for that
15:26
(as all client are on the server, so vino-server selects a random port not in use)
15:26
<xsl>
yeah but that i can manage with no big effort
15:27
a combination of 'who' and netstat with some grep
15:27
<alkisg>
Or just "avahi-browse"
