| 04:33 | <vagrantc> meh. looks like epoptes's build dependencies don't install from sid at the moment ...
| |
| 04:33 | <dberkholz> vagrantc: gonna hit up oscon this year?
| |
| 04:34 | <vagrantc> dberkholz: i think it conflicts with the debian conference
| |
| 04:34 | it frequuently does...
| |
| 04:35 | <dberkholz> not quite
| |
| 04:35 | right afterwards though
| |
| 04:35 | debconf is 8-14 july, oscon is 16-20
| |
| 04:35 | <vagrantc> you know your dates!
| |
| 04:35 | <dberkholz> i know my google
| |
| 04:35 | <vagrantc> i will be living the hard life in nicaragua for a week after debconf, too
| |
| 04:36 | <dberkholz> darn
| |
| 04:36 | i won't make it to osbridge, got 2 other confs down in the bay
| |
| 04:37 | any other cool confs happen in pdx that would give me an excuse to go?
| |
| 04:38 | <vagrantc> i usually don't know about them until they are already happening or have already happened ... not too much of a conference buff
| |
| 04:38 | <dberkholz> i mostly go to chill w/ people. call it hallway track or bar track, whatever.
| |
| 04:38 | being in minnesota is a little isolating from a tech perspective
| |
| 04:39 | <vagrantc> ah, i didn't know you fled cascadia
| |
| 04:39 | <dberkholz> a few years back, actually — late 2009
| |
| 04:39 | but i'm feeling nostalgic
| |
| 04:40 | <vagrantc> oh, you mean you left like, a couple weeks ago? :)
| |
| 04:43 | i've never quite mustered together another LTSP hackfest in portland ... but i always dream of hosting another
| |
| 04:43 | alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg) | |
| 04:45 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i was just getting ready to try to upload epoptes, and apparently the build-deps are unsatisfyable in sid now (just did a build a little while ago and it went swimmingly)
| |
| 04:45 | * vagrantc sighs | |
| 04:45 | <alkisg> Hi vagrantc... error log?
| |
| 04:45 | Ah, it's a temporary thing?
| |
| 04:46 | <vagrantc> alkisg: it's not epoptes's fault, it's some package in sid that got partially updated
| |
| 04:47 | probably and arch:all package where a necessary arch:i386 versioned dep isn't yet available.
| |
| 04:47 | <alkisg> vagrantc: no worries, thanks... I'll upload to Ubuntu and you can sync later on with a minor release that contains the new translations
| |
| 04:48 | <vagrantc> alkisg: my test build went fine... seems to have corrected all the glitches i encountered on monday! :)
| |
| 04:48 | <alkisg> There were even 3 new translations added last night, thanks to stgraber forwarding the notification mail to the translations teams
| |
| 04:48 | Yup, we only have 2 known bugs open left, which aren't really significant
| |
| 04:49 | Parker955_Away has left IRC (Parker955_Away!~parker@74.112.203.151, Ping timeout: 245 seconds) | |
| 04:55 | Parker955_Away has joined IRC (Parker955_Away!~parker@74.112.203.151) | |
| 04:55 | <vagrantc> alkisg: be sure to fix up the changelog for an ubuntu upload, then
| |
| 04:56 | <alkisg> Sure, I'll put precise + the new translations in the changelog
| |
| 04:58 | <vagrantc> there seemed to also be one fix that i wasn't sure if the changelog already covered it
| |
| 05:00 | <alkisg> Which one? Maybe I overlooked something...
| |
| 05:04 | <vagrantc> alkisg: 262: Fix get-display regression for KDE.
| |
| 05:05 | it happened after the last edit to the changelog, but i didn't know if it was just a fix to something already covered in the changelog
| |
| 05:05 | <alkisg> vagrantc: when we break something after the previously released version, and in a latter commit we fix it again, should we cover that on the changelog?
| |
| 05:06 | Do users need to be aware that we broke it temporarily in trunk?
| |
| 05:07 | <vagrantc> alkisg: that was basically what i was wondering
| |
| 05:07 | alkisg: i would generally say no, if it was only on -trunk and not a released version
| |
| 05:07 | <alkisg> I had the same doubt about the "lock screen fails to unlock" problem you reported, if we should include it or not
| |
| 05:08 | It was just a temporary thing with the new implementation, we didn't have enough time to test it...
| |
| 05:08 | <vagrantc> alkisg: if there's a bug referenced, it should probably be included...
| |
| 05:08 | but otherwise, i wouldn't bother.
| |
| 05:08 | <alkisg> Right... so I guess the changelog is OK as it is
| |
| 05:12 | <vagrantc> alkisg: and this is a matter of personal taste, but i usually prefer to use UNRELEASED in the changelog, and only change it to unstable when it gets actually released.
| |
| 05:13 | makes it easier to know what to tag that way, too :)
| |
| 05:13 | <alkisg> vagrantc: until now, I only updated the changelog when a release was about to occur... but you're right, I'll be using UNRELEASED from now on
| |
| 05:16 | * alkisg thinks epoptes is pretty much OK for now, so will shift his focus to ltsp code again... :) | |

| |
| 05:25 | <alkisg> Goodnight vagrantc, thanks again

| 09:22 | <Deaconf19> hello all
| |
| 09:22 | Anyone in here up for some Q&A?
| |
| 09:22 | <muppis> Everyone.
| |
| 09:22 | Just ask. :)
| |
| 09:23 | <Deaconf19> Cool thanks
| |
| 09:23 | dobber_ has joined IRC (dobber_!~dobber@213.169.45.222) | |
| 09:23 | dobber has left IRC (dobber!~dobber@213.169.45.222, Read error: Connection reset by peer) | |
| 09:24 | <Deaconf19> This is my setup. ESX cluster 3 servers. 192 GB RAM total and 18 logical processors per server. I gave LTSP 8GB RAM and 4 CPU. Is this over kill for 300 clients that will RDP into a windows 7 x64 Virtual Machine ?
| |
| 09:24 | the backbone is 1 Gbps
| |
| 09:24 | LAN
| |
| 09:25 | The idea was to minimize the physical foot print in our facility. So we create Windows 7 VMs and have the users PXE the rdesktop into the windows 7 machine is this normal or ludacris
| |
| 09:26 | <muppis> Depends is your RDP connections made from clients or from server.
| |
| 09:26 | <Deaconf19> Not sure honestly. I sent the lts.conf file with SCREEN_3 to LDM and SCREEN_4 to rdesktop if that helps
| |
| 09:27 | *set
| |
| 09:28 | <muppis> Then they are from clients and serverside is littlebit overkill.
| |
| 09:28 | <Deaconf19> Ok
| |
| 09:29 | Do you happen to know where I could go for rdesktop help?
| |
| 09:29 | and thanks for the answers muppis
| |
| 09:29 | <muppis> 1 or 2 GB of RAM and 1 CPU can be enough to start.
| |
| 09:29 | dobber_ has left IRC (dobber_!~dobber@213.169.45.222, Ping timeout: 245 seconds) | |
| 09:30 | <Deaconf19> Wow, that is great to know
| |
| 09:31 | <alkisg> What are your client specs?
| |
| 09:31 | <Deaconf19> right now they are old Dell D610 laptops
| |
| 09:32 | 2GB ram onbord intel graphics
| |
| 09:32 | <alkisg> And, are you planning on having 300 windows 7 VMs, with no server edition?
| |
| 09:32 | 2 GB RAM is more than enough to run windows 7 locally
| |
| 09:32 | <Deaconf19> Yeah we know, however there is a bit more to it than I can say
| |
| 09:33 | <alkisg> I'm just mentioning that in case you want to run the same instance of the VM locally on the clients, over ltsp
| |
| 09:34 | RDP needs a lot of bandwidth, so your network will be a bottleneck for 300 clients
| |
| 09:34 | <Deaconf19> Not sure I understand, how would I achieve that
| |
| 09:34 | Yeah we noticed that 2 clients started to tax the VM
| |
| 09:34 | *connections
| |
| 09:35 | <alkisg> You have a thin chroot, install qemu or vbox in it, make a "windows-vm" vbox screen script, and when the clients boot they all get their copy-on-write (like deep freeze) copy of the same vm
| |
| 09:35 | It needs a bit of scripting, but I think it'll be worth it
| |
| 09:36 | <Deaconf19> Wow thanks I was unaware of this.
| |
| 09:37 | Could I run vmware view in the chroot?
| |
| 09:37 | <alkisg> If it can be installed in linux, it can be installed in a chroot too
| |
| 09:39 | <Deaconf19> so to make sure I get this. I install for this example vmware view in chroot. when the user PXE it will get the boot image then vmware kicks in and directs it to the running VM?
| |
| 09:39 | <alkisg> I don't know what vmware view does
| |
| 09:40 | <Deaconf19> Sorry NVM
| |
| 09:40 | <alkisg> So I can only answer in general, whatever you can do in a normal linux installation, you can do it from a chroot too
| |
| 09:41 | <Deaconf19> Thanks I think you guided me in better solution than we originally came up with.
| |
| 09:41 | <alkisg> You're welcome

| |
| 13:16 | <Hyperbyte> uh
| |
| 13:16 | My mouse has stopped working
| |
| 13:16 | But that's not what this is about at all
| |
| 13:16 | It's just annoying
| |
| 13:16 | Either way
| |
| 13:17 | Is there anything known about using Android devices diskdrives with LTSP localapps?
| |
| 13:17 | My Android phone won't show up on the desktop, while USB sticks with the same filesystem do show up.
| |
| 13:17 | bobby_C has left IRC (bobby_C!~bobby@85-124-81-10.static.xdsl-line.inode.at, Ping timeout: 276 seconds) | |
| 13:18 | <alkisg> Heh, nope, you'll want to speak to someone else, I'm not using localapps so I haven't dug into the ltspfs code
| |
| 13:18 | <Hyperbyte> I thought it might have something to do with the delay with which Android presents it's filesystem, since you first connect it, and then have to put it in "Diskdrive" mode which always takes a few seconds...
| |
| 13:18 | <alkisg> *nor localdevs
| |
| 13:18 | <Hyperbyte> Ah...
| |
| 13:19 | * alkisg prefers either true thin clients or true fats, the other stuff is too complicated to be managed by teachers... | |
| 13:20 | <Hyperbyte> Well sure, but people still want to use USB sticks with true fat clients. ;-)
| |
| 13:21 | <alkisg> Of course, but ltspfs is not involved
| |
| 13:21 | So nothing ltsp-related there, just normal udisks-based mounting
| |
| 13:22 | Anything that works on regular machines works on fat clients too, so I guess your phone too
| |
| 13:22 | <Hyperbyte> Yeah, the phone works on the thin client, it just doesn't get put on the desktop
| |
| 13:23 | <alkisg> That's ltspfs + gnome integration, i.e. ltsp related, but not the part I'm familiar with
| |
| 13:23 | As that doesn't apply to fat clients
| |
| 13:24 | Also I think that using the usb over ip project might be better for thin clients, no ltspfs or DE integration would be needed in that case

| 13:39 | <jammcq> how's things going?
| |
| 13:40 | <Hyperbyte> Good actually... my new colleague starts the 2nd of april, at that point I will finally have some form of peace again in my job. :P
| |
| 13:40 | <jammcq> cool
| |
| 13:40 | how's the new office?
| |
| 13:41 | <Hyperbyte> Right now I'm going a bit crazy, running from one fire to the next, not having enough time to help everyone as well as I'd like, and then having a boss complain that I don't help people here well enough. :P
| |
| 13:42 | Oh, the new office is fantastic.
| |
| 13:44 | Having a proper room server, opposed to the converted broom closet I had before, really makes a lot of difference in the stability of things, and the ease with which certain problems can be solved. :-)
| |
| 13:44 | *room server -> server room
| |
| 13:44 | <jammcq> :)
| |
| 13:45 | yeah, the problem with broom closets is they're never properly cooled
| |
| 13:45 | <Hyperbyte> So I don't have anything to complain about, except the new workload that came with all this, but that'll be fixed in 11 days.
| |
| 13:45 | Not that I'm counting or anything. :P
| |
| 13:46 | Well, that, yeah... and once the company expands, and you have two switches, two modems, and five servers in one broom closet, it's not only getting 45 degrees room temperature in summer, but there's also hardly any space left... and the moment you need to patch something, or get one server out for maintenance, you're screwed.
| |
| 13:48 | How about you? =)

| |
| 19:21 | * alkisg prepares to upload epoptes to Precise... | |
| 19:21 | <vagrantc> alkisg: you were making stgraber nervous!
| |
| 19:22 | <stgraber> alkisg: anything else that you want to push to ltsp-trunk before I tag?
| |
| 19:22 | <alkisg> Haha I had it ready 12 hours ago, I was just waiting in case more translations were added
| |
| 19:22 | stgraber: no, nothing at this time, I'll start working on it tomorrow, so it'll have to wait for the next upload, at 29th?
| |
| 19:23 | <stgraber> alkisg: ok, I'll tag now then
| |
| 19:23 | <alkisg> Thanks :)
| |
| 19:24 | <vagrantc> meh. epoptes's build-deps still don't install in sid...
| |
| 19:25 | <stgraber> tagged
| |
| 19:30 | <alkisg> ...how do I add a 0.5.0 tag for epoptes?
| |
| 19:30 | Or should that wait until vagrantc tags 0.5.0-1 ?
| |
| 19:31 | bzr tag 0.5.0, and then commit (the updated changelog) and push?
| |
| 19:36 | <vagrantc> alkisg: commit the "final" change, then: bzr tag 0.5.0
| |
| 19:37 | otherwise it'll tag the previous commit.
| |
| 19:37 | <alkisg> vagrantc: no push needed after tag?
| |
| 19:37 | <vagrantc> alkisg: push at the end, yes.
| |
| 19:37 | <alkisg> Ah, commit, tag, push, got it
| |
| 19:37 | <vagrantc> yup
| |
| 19:38 | alkisg: you can also retroactively tag an older revision, if that's appropriate
| |
| 19:38 | <alkisg> OK, doing a push --overwrite of my last push 2 minutes ago, I hope you didn't yet pull anything and shout at me again :P
| |
| 19:38 | <vagrantc> i.e. bzr tag -r XXX 0.x.x
| |
| 19:38 | * vagrantc grumbles | |
| 19:39 | <alkisg> Done
| |
| 19:39 | Ah the push time wasn't even changed, it understood what I was trying to do :)
| |
| 19:40 | <vagrantc> alkisg: it just breaks history and anyone's copy that they've made...
| |
| 19:40 | <alkisg> vagrantc: only if they pull before the overwrite, no?
| |
| 19:40 | <vagrantc> yes... but... it's a bad habit
| |
| 19:41 | <alkisg> I'll put it in my to-quit list along with the casual smoking... :D (joking)
| |
| 19:41 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
| 19:42 | <highvoltage> 15:29 < stgraber> highvoltage, gilir: new ldm-ubuntu-themes uploaded. It'll need to wait for an archive admin to process the new binary package though
| |
| 19:43 | ^^^ alkisg
| |
| 19:43 | <alkisg> highvoltage: cool! I believe the current artwork code should automatically select it if one has lubuntu on his ltsp server, or builds a lubuntu fat chroot

| 22:19 | <vagrantc_> Llama_be: depending on what it is, you could just write a screen script ... i.e. like ldm and rdp are handled
| |
| 22:20 | don't really know what XBMC is, though

| 22:22 | <Llama_be> vagrantc_: xbmc is a media center application
| |
| 22:22 | basically it's a very fancy interface to mplayer ;)
| |
| 22:23 | <vagrantc_> it's just an application, then?
| |
| 22:23 | <Llama_be> yes
| |
| 22:23 | <vagrantc_> shouldn't be any problem installing that in the same chroot.
| |
| 22:23 | then you can configure which machines use it in lts.conf ...
| |
| 22:24 | <Llama_be> if I would make seperate chroots, I can configure it in pxelinux.cfg, that's not the big issue
| |
| 22:25 | Mava has left IRC (Mava!~Mava@ip-45-224.dhcp.opintanner.fi, Quit: leaving) | |
| 22:25 | <Llama_be> I'm just a little scared, because of the tinkering I'd have to do with it and maybe messing up my normal chroot
| |
| 22:26 | but maybe I'll just migrate my current chroot into an LVM, so I could take a snapshot
| |
| 22:27 | <alkisg> Llama_be: can't you just rsync /opt/ltsp /opt/ltsp.backup before you try it?
| |
| 22:27 | <vagrantc_> your call, but there shouldn't be (m)any problems installing additional software in a chroot.
| |
| 22:28 | <Llama_be> alkisg: yes, that would also work :)

| 22:30 | <Llama_be> vagrantc_: it's not the installing of the software I'm worried about, more the tinkering I might have to do to get sound over HDMI working and such
| |
| 22:31 | all my other clients don't have speakers attached, so I'm completely unaware of how sound is handled ;)
| |
| 22:31 | <vagrantc_> ah.
| |
| 22:32 | <Llama_be> all other clients also use DVI or VGa, and not HDMI, but that is probably no issue

| 22:33 | <Llama_be> and xbmc has a live cd edition. It should be fairly straightforward to get that to boot over the network I guess
| |
| 22:35 | as in mount the iso into /opt/ltsp/xbmc, copy kernel and initrd to tftproot, create pxelinux.cfg file, done?
| |
| 22:38 | <alkisg> The initramfs of that cd needs to support mounting from the network
| |
| 22:38 | If it doesn't, it's not trivial
| |
| 22:39 | <Llama_be> well, it's worth a try :)
| |
| 22:39 | but not today :)
| |
| 22:39 | <alkisg> You should find the kernel parameter before you try though
| |
| 22:39 | Otherwise you can't even try it :)

| 23:12 | <trubbor> Quick question - might be more of a general linux question - but would help me greatly with LTSP users
| |
| 23:12 | <Llama_be> !ask
| |
| 23:12 | <ltsp> Llama_be: ask: Don't ask to ask a question, simply ask it, and if someone knows the answer, they'll respond. Please hang around for at least 15 minutes after asking a question, as not everybody constantly monitors the channel.
| |
| 23:12 | <trubbor> Is there a "default_user" configuration directory, etc.. that a new user account uses as it's default setting?
| |
| 23:13 | <Llama_be> /etc/skel
| |
| 23:13 | <trubbor> I'd like to, for example - learn how to make each new account have a different default setting than out of the box setting..
| |
| 23:14 | So - /etc/skel is what all new accounts use?
| |
| 23:14 | cd .profil;e
| |
| 23:14 | l;s
| |
| 23:14 | whoops
| |
| 23:15 | <Llama_be> /etc/skel/ is copied to /home/username/ on creation of a directory (at least when you give the -m to the useradd prog, don't know how other distros handle it)
| |
| 23:15 | <trubbor> Which distro are you referring to?
| |
| 23:15 | <Llama_be> but I assume they will also copy that directory
| |
| 23:15 | Gentoo, sorry
| |
| 23:16 | <alkisg> Are you sorry that you're using Gentoo? :P :D
| |
| 23:16 | <Llama_be> no, sorry that I didn't mention it in my original reply
| |
| 23:16 | it's late... :)
| |
| 23:17 | <alkisg> Yup just joking. Another idea besides /etc/skel (which btw is the same in Ubuntu too), is to make an autologin script that applies any settings you want on new users
| |
| 23:17 | <Llama_be> although I believe it's an hour earlier than for you alkisg ;)
| |
| 23:17 | <trubbor> OK - I'll play around with that. Is there an "all users" type directory - that I could drop a file, that all existing users would then see upon login?
| |
| 23:17 | <alkisg> E.g. in /etc/xdg/autostart, and apply it with gconftool, gsettings, whatever your setting needs
| |
| 23:18 | /etc/skel is not generic enough, e.g. you can't put a setting to use /home/username/wallpaper, as not all users have the same username
| |
| 23:18 | <Llama_be> alkisg: on the other hand, your autologin script assumes a gui?
| |
| 23:19 | <trubbor> I just want to do thing like change default Unity launcher items, etc -
| |
| 23:19 | <alkisg> No sorry not autologin, a "when the user logs in" script
| |
| 23:19 | You could put that e.g. in pam and have it affect even console logins
| |
| 23:19 | <Llama_be> ah yes, right
| |
| 23:21 | <trubbor> I would like to create a "generic" acct. Use the GUI to set the desktop, etc up as I would like all users to see, and then copy that desktop configuration into the "default user" directory that all new accounts will be built from when creating new accounts
| |
| 23:22 | <alkisg> trubbor: there used to be a tool called sabayon for that, but it's unmaintained, it no longer work on recent versions
| |
| 23:22 | So you can't do it as you would like, you need to edit config files or use command line utilities
| |
| 23:23 | <Llama_be> I'd try to see if it would work with /etc/skell
| |
| 23:23 | <alkisg> http://live.gnome.org/Sabayon/
| |
| 23:23 | <Llama_be> /etc/skel I mean
| |
| 23:24 | <trubbor> Wow - wish Sabayon was still maintained - and would work with Unity. Looks like almost exactly what I'm looking for.
