<knipwim>
i can boot with the latest ltsp-client revision!
09:28
only have two errors
09:28
/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp_config: line 67: -1: command not found
09:28
<alkisg>
You weren't able to boot before? /me isn't really sure about the Gentoo state..
09:28
<knipwim>
no, i was able to
09:28
but since 5.2.18 some things changed
09:29
mostly packaging issues though
09:29
<alkisg>
Line 67 is eval $var="$val" ?
09:29
<knipwim>
yup
09:30
<alkisg>
So it tries to do -1=something?
09:30
Do you have something in lts.conf or in ltsp_config.d ?
09:30
<knipwim>
i think it something to do with the nc_q_param="-q -1"
09:30
in /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_config_env
09:30monteslu_ has joined IRC (monteslu_!~monteslu@ip68-109-174-213.ph.ph.cox.net)
09:30
<alkisg>
Maybe, I think that nc_q_param wasn't thorougly tested...
09:31
<knipwim>
what does it do?
09:31
<alkisg>
nc needs different parameters in some distros
09:31
If they're not provided, it waits forever, instead of returning immediately
09:32
So I think in Fedora it needs `nc -q -``, while in Debian/Ubuntu it's just plain `nc`,
09:32
* -1
09:32
...but there's another version of nc in Debian/Ubuntu that also needs -q -1.... mess
09:33
So it parses nc output to check if -q is supported
09:33
What's the output of `LANG=C nc -q` in Gentoo?
09:33monteslu has left IRC (monteslu!~monteslu@ip68-109-174-213.ph.ph.cox.net, Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
09:34
<knipwim>
nc: option requires an argument -- 'q'
09:34
<alkisg>
Same here in my Lucid box...
09:35
<knipwim>
isn't it an issue with the eval $var="$val" line ?
09:35
<alkisg>
I don't know, I'm using an older LTSP version
09:35
eval x=-q -1
09:35
That's the problem
09:36
(quoting)
09:36
So yeah I imagine it's not Gentoo specific
09:37
I'd try to avoid that "eval" in set_lts_var()
09:38
Just export "$var"="$val" instead
09:38
Ouch it also does echo "$var=\"$val\"" >> ${ltsp_config_env}
09:39
That again will cause a mess with quoting... :(
09:39
<knipwim>
hmm, that actually works for the nc_q_param="-q -1"
09:40
<alkisg>
ltsp_config_env is also sourced by ltsp_config, while lts.conf is eval'ed
09:41
So we have 3-4 different interpretations of quotes and special characters :(
09:42
<knipwim>
removing the eval line, and doing an export $var="$val" will work
09:44
<alkisg>
Yes, but it won't be consistent with how we interpret lts.conf
09:44* alkisg would like to get rid of eval in all those cases
09:44
<alkisg>
...but it would be a big change, so... maybe in a couple of years, with a new configuration system :D
09:46
<knipwim>
hmm
09:46
it seems lts.conf is interpreted twice
09:47
once in ltsp_config in the set_lts_var
09:47
and once in ltsp_config.d/01-getltscfg
09:47
and all vars are exported as well
09:50
but okay, that's for the next couple of years :)
09:50
what do you propose for the /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp_config: line 67: -1: command not found ?
09:50
file a bug report
09:51
or make the eval work
09:58
doing an eval $var=\"$val\" instead of an eval $var="$val" fixed it
10:01
alkisg: ok if i commit that one?
10:02
<alkisg>
knipwim: gimme 2 mins to test something...
10:02
<knipwim>
no rush :)
10:04
<alkisg>
set_lts_var nc_q_param "$nc_q_param" ==> btw that's the only lowercase lts.conf var we have
10:04
knipwim: I would avoid eval and use `export "$var"="$val"` instead
10:05
E.g. imagine having val='$(rm -rf /)'
10:05
I wouldn't want to eval that, and I see no need in the code to use eval
10:12
<knipwim>
check
10:13
why not export "$var=$val" ?, instead of export "$var"="$val"
10:21
<alkisg>
It's the same, I just use to quote the vars, just a habit...
10:21
<knipwim>
check, and committed
10:24
now going to do some gentoo fixes, and then tag 5.2.19
10:27
and after that trying to implement the kiosk plugin in gentoo

10:30
<alkisg>
knipwim: for the kiosk plugin... I think it'd be better if most of it was handled at boot time by the kiosk screen script
10:31
So that one can build a client without any ltsp-build-client plugins, install firefox or whatever browser he wants, and then just use the kiosk screen script that creates the kiosk user dynamically etc
10:31
Of course a kiosk plugin may still be used, but it would just install firefox etc, it wouldn't create a user

alkisg: sorry to bother you again, but
15:37
i screwed up the version tagging
15:37
<alkisg>
knipwim: np, let me see...
15:37
<knipwim>
the commit previous to the version release got the tag
15:38
and i don't know how to fix it
15:38* knipwim is feeling so noob
15:38
<alkisg>
knipwim: we usually don't "undo" branch changes, but given that today is saturday AND the last year day etc etc, I don't think anyone has pulled your changes from trunk,
15:39
so I guess you could just do "bzr uncommit" a couple of times, fix it in your local branch, commit etc, and then push -overwrite

15:43
