we are using ltsp-server-standalone (v5.3.4-1) with FAT Clients. we are using a log of remote apps. After the last debian/wheezy update we get an error like 'connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X7: No such file or directory - Can't open display'. As far as I know this file should be created automatically. Did something changed since the last update??

<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, I want to blacklist certain kernel modules (sound drivers, actually) for certain thin clients. Any easy way to do this via lts.conf?
15:01
Not sure why I'm asking just alkisg by the way, I guess I'm getting used to just asking the oracle himself for help. :P
15:01
<alkisg>
Hahaha
15:01
<Hyperbyte>
It should be more of a general question of course, to anyone. ;-)
15:02* alkisg needs to disguise himself, using another nickname... :D
15:02
<Hyperbyte>
(you're spoiling me, oracle ;-))
15:02
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: why blacklist them? Aren't they supposed to not get loaded if the hardware isn't available?
15:02
<Hyperbyte>
Oh but it is! And I don't want it.
15:03
<alkisg>
Which hardware is that? pciid?
15:03
<Hyperbyte>
And I don't really want to go the BIOS of 12 thin clients but one to disable onboard sound.
15:03
<alkisg>
Ah
15:03
And rcfile + rmmod doesn't work, I suppose?
15:04
<Hyperbyte>
Haven't tried.
15:04Gremble has joined IRC (Gremble!~Ben@cpc10-aztw24-2-0-cust114.aztw.cable.virginmedia.com)
15:04
<Hyperbyte>
Currently I have the module listed in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf in the image
15:04
However there's one client where I actually -do- want onboard sound to load.
15:04
<alkisg>
You're not using 12.04, are you? :D
15:05
<Hyperbyte>
No?
15:05
It's not out yet, is it? :P
15:05
(officially out)
15:05
<alkisg>
It's in the official ubuntu future repository
15:05
Meh ok lame
15:06
One way to blacklist modules is from the kernel command line
15:06
<Hyperbyte>
Lame that I'm not using 12.04 yet in a production environment? :-o
15:06
<alkisg>
No, lame humor
15:06
<Hyperbyte>
Oh. :P
15:06
<alkisg>
...which isn't really convenient for many clients
15:06
<Hyperbyte>
I was more thinking along the lines of doing the opposite.
15:06
Rather than create one RCFILE which unloads/blacklists the module
15:06
<alkisg>
So you'd need a new lts.conf option
15:06
BLACKLIST_MODULES=xxx
15:06
<Hyperbyte>
I'd prefer creating an RC FILE that perhaps removes the blacklist and loads the module.
15:06
<alkisg>
And then under the one client,
15:07
BLACKLIST_MODULES="' empty
15:07
<Hyperbyte>
Or that, yes. But that doesn't exist, does it?
15:07
Besides, modprobe is done -before- LTSP init scripts are loaded, isn't it?
15:09
<alkisg>
So... first thing to do is file a bug report, so that that option is provided in 12.04
15:09
In 12.04 the ltsp scripts run even before init
15:09
Second thing is to manually implement that for your version :)
15:10
In the old ltsp code, you should probably do that from the initramfs
15:11
So, you could create an /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom script that does it, based on lts.conf values
15:13
Another idea is to let the module load itself, and just fix the sound settings so that the correct card is used
15:14
<Hyperbyte>
Idea I'm currently thinking about is loading the module afterwards, manually
15:14
RCFILE=modprobe snd_hda_intel
15:15
I'm not sure if that honors the blacklist though, or if it can be made to ignore the blacklist
15:15
<alkisg>
You could remove the blacklist from the same rcfile
15:18
<Hyperbyte>
mhmmm
15:18
This could work
15:18
Next question - anything in 11.04 that would prevent a client from loading it's custom mac-based configuration from lts.conf?
15:18
<alkisg>
Don't think so, getltscfg -a will tell you
15:23
<elias_a>
alkisg: I check the timezone.... was away for a while.
15:23
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, yeah, it told me it doesn't load it's own config
15:23
It does load the general config though
15:24
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: pastebin?
15:24
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, can I send you it in private this one time?
15:24
<alkisg>
Sure
15:26
<Hyperbyte>
There...
15:28
Oh gee
15:28
I see it
15:28
That's pretty stupid.
15:28
The client is in there twice with custom config.
15:28* Hyperbyte applies head to flat surface
15:29
<muppis>
Please don't. Flast surface may get some shape.

Funny. In Dutch we have a saying, when you doubt something will happen, that literally says "I have a hard head that'll happen."
15:31
<muppis>
:D
15:31
<highvoltage>
how do you say "hard head" in dutch? in afrikaans it's "hardkoppig" but that usually means stubborn :)

Having a hard head in something...
15:36
No idea why we say it actually.
15:36
In fact after trying to explain it, I think I might want to stop using it. :\ It makes no sense whatsoever.
15:36
But we say it.

alkisg: We should give the sw we are going to use a test run. Maybe some time this or next week?
15:45
<alkisg>
Next week would be better, it would give us more time to prepare it. Which one should we download?
15:45
<elias_a>
alkisg: You need a browser with the evil proprietary flash...
15:45
And preferably a headset microfone.
15:45
<alkisg>
Sure, those are easy
15:45
<elias_a>
Oh - and a webcam.

No, what gives you these ideas? :-)

Hyperbyte: Yep - close language relatives.
15:50
Hyperbyte: Well - you seemed to know some afrikaans.
15:50
<Hyperbyte>
It's called hardkoppig in Dutch too.
15:50
<elias_a>
People usually have some connection to afrikaans native speakers if they know the language.
15:51
Hyperbyte: Yes - I know.
15:51
Hyperbyte: Sorry to bother you ;-)
15:51
<Hyperbyte>
But no, no relation to native Afrikaans speakers... but I love Afrikaanse musiek. :-)
15:52
I find the language quite fascinating.
15:53

15:56

alkisg, I didn't update yet.
15:56
It's much too comfortable pressing alt+enter

All other groups develop and lead an active life. Only the lazy rednecks get poorer. And they deserve it :P

Hello, we are using ltsp-server-standalone (v5.3.4-1) with FAT Clients. we are using a log of remote apps. Everything was working fine. After the last debian/wheezy update we get an error like 'connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X7: No such file or directory - Can't open display'. Did something changed since the last update??

17:17
Is something not working? Or it's just an error message?

alkisg: normally we connect over ssh -X remote_server to start apps on a remote server. since the last debian updates in chroot we always get this error, so we cannot not start these apps anymore
17:27
i tried already a lot of things, but don't now anymore where to look further

ssh -x? not ltsp_remoteapps?

no, we are using FAT Clients and can connect over ssh to our remote servers. it was just working fine before and i don't have a clue anymore where to look
17:29
<alkisg>
Ah, you're not using *LTSP* fat clients, but your own custom implementation?
17:30
(it seems like we really need a new name for ltsp fat clients, many times there's confusion about them in this channel...)
17:31
<wim_>
no, just LTSP fat clients configured in lts.conf (LTSP_FATCLIENT=True)
17:36
<knipwim>
alkisg: the wiki will solve all confusion :)
17:36
<alkisg>
Amen :)
17:37
<knipwim>
alkisg: btw, you had a question earlier
17:37
21:29 < alkisg> Ah, knipwim btw we have a grep init=/sbin/init-ltsp.d cmdline in some places in the code
17:37
you know where?
17:39
<alkisg>
knipwim: not sure which ones you might be using, try `grep -r sbin/init-ltsp .` in the source code
17:39
It's possible that you're not using any of the places where it exists
17:39
E.g. ./client/initscripts/ltsp-core
17:40
<knipwim>
not in /sbin/init-ltsp or the init-ltsp.d's
17:40
<alkisg>
Or ./client/update-kernels
17:40
<knipwim>
yes ltsp-core
17:40
but i'm not using that one
17:42
what does client/update-kernels do?

Hello LTSP world! I lost my usb support on my AMDE-350 client, and would really like it back. I am following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/AMDE-350 and have updated to the current ltspfsd-core_1.1-1_amd64.deb and ltspfsd_1.1-1_all.deb. But no luck. LTSP5, Ubuntu/Maverick 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-32-generic. Planning to go to 12.04LTS on the server next month. Must I just wait?
17:48
<alkisg>
update-kernels is ran on the client kernel postinst hook, to generate the ltsp nbi and yaboot etc images

apt-get dist-upgrade in my 12.04 fat chroot is very very slow, with no apparent reason (no high CPU usage etc)... I even see dpkg in 'D' (uninterruptible sleep) state in top, has anyone experienced anything similar?

18:21

Thanks alkisg, I remember that. Thanks mgariepy. I googled the problem and found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/415952 but the fix is to upgrade to ltspfsd_1.1-1. Which I have...
18:22
Maybe I need to upgrade from ltspfs 1.0-1 to 1.1-1 on the server?
18:24
<knipwim>
you could always try and find out, couldn't hurt to upgrade i reckon
18:28
<vagrantc>
there weren't really any changes server-side for 1.0 -> 1.1, if i remember coorrectly
18:28
<mnevans>
OK - why the *^%#&^ not. Installed ltspfs1.1-1 and dependencies (libc6, libc-bin). Installed ok. Now to reboot the server and client.

vagrantc: to detect if an ltsp boot was requested, we currently check for: grep -Eqsw "init=/sbin/init-ltsp|ltsp" /proc/cmdline
18:41
...which is redudant, because "ltsp" also covers "init-ltsp". Since afaik no distro is currently using "ltsp" in its command line, maybe we can rewrite that to something better?
18:41
E.g. "grep -qs init=/sbin/init-ltsp", which also cover's Gentoo's "real_init=/sbin/init-ltsp", and if someone doesn't want to use the new init system, he can do e.g. "fake_init=/sbin/init-ltsp" ?

18:49
<vagrantc>
alkisg: it should be '[whitespace]ltsp[whitespace]'
18:50
alkisg: but yes, i remember looking at that and thinking it needed to be improved.
18:50
alkisg: i don't know all the use-cases... can't spend much time on it today.

I'm back after a server reboot. Installed ltspfs1.1-1, no change in behavior of usb stick.
18:52
<vagrantc>
alkisg: why use grep instead of the while read trick, anyways?
18:54
<alkisg>
vagrantc: ok the method doesn't matter much, grep is more readable, while is faster... it's what we grep for that matters though
18:54
<mnevans>
...but now the apt-get is unhappy about presence of new libc6 and libc-dev-bin
18:55
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i thought grep was slower ... i don't remember though, we've switched back and forth on this so many times over the years.

18:55
<alkisg>
vagrantc: grep is indeed slower, but it's also smaller, so we can check for "if an ltsp boot was requested" in a single line
18:57
I don't think it's worth the added complexity to use "while / read", at least until we cache the result in a /var/cache/ltsp/ file so that we're able to quickly source it from other scripts later on
18:57
(e.g. set it from initramfs or init-ltsp.d, source it from ltsp-core)

like ltsp-vendor-functions, ltsp-update-image-functions etc

<vagrantc>
knipwim: i like the general idea
19:49
<knipwim>
but the actual implementation is a question
19:50
i was just preparing a message for the mailing list
19:50
<vagrantc>
i like "ltsp-vendor-functions" style things, then it doesn't require distro detection- each distro just installs something different to the same place.
19:51
alternately, if there could be a .d infrastrcture ...
19:51
ltsp-update-image-functions.d/
19:51
then a distro could drop a huge file in there, or a few little files, their call.
19:52
though one function per file would make it easier for distros to share (i.e. ubuntu and debian often have similar needs, but fedora, suse, gentoo might be a bit more different)
19:53
although maybe .d dirs could be assembled at build time rather than runtime.
19:53
<knipwim>
yeah, using little files is most practical for ubuntu-debian
19:54
instead of having multiple overwrites, src common, then debian, then ubuntu for instance
19:54
and also in the .d solution, each distro can package that as if it were common
19:54
so no distro detection needed
19:58
ah, that's what you said
