Hello LTSP world
00:18
I've just updated a system from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Whew.
00:18
I created a new user on the fresh install (to a fresh OS disk)
00:19
Then I copied over all the other users by copying the relevant info from /etc/shadow, passwd, group.
00:19
LTSP is working great! But only the install user can log in. Everyone else gets booted back to the login.
00:20
I can login to the console so it is not a password problem.
00:20
<vlt>
mnevans_: Does the homedir exist?
00:20
mnevans_: And is it writable for the user?
00:21
<mnevans_>
@vlt, thanks, yes, /home/user exists.
00:22
Oh - but now you ask - I see that the install user owns all the files! crap.

I am going to try a chown -R * and chgrp user on /home/user/...
00:28
That fixed it. Many thanks vlt for pointing out the obvious. I only wrestled with that for 2 hours... :|

<mealstrom>
good morning
06:02
ubuntu 12.04 server. ive got problem when trying to create thin client 10.10 (everything is i386) : error is "parse error on line 9: '~" at update-alternatives: using /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d.ltsp
06:03
<muppis>
I've found incompatibilities between releases, meaning never got older chroot work with newest server.
06:03
<mealstrom>
http://pastebin.com/caYPmEFS
06:03
so i have to run 12.04 client on 12.04 server not older one clients ?
06:04
<muppis>
Saves you fron lot of troubles. :)
06:05
*from. Just cot first cup of coffee for today.
06:07
<alkisg>
mealstrom: why are you trying to build a 10.10 chroot in a 12.04 server?
06:08
<mealstrom>
alkisg: i coudnt build 2 images(10.10) on production server(10.04). ive got test server with 12.04
06:08
<alkisg>
mealstrom: what I mean is why do you want a 10.10 chroot instead of the default 12.04 one
06:10
<mealstrom>
alkisg: main programs are sflphone and firefox. sflphone crashes much more often at 12.04. At 10.10 it works normal. Second reason is GUI.
06:11
<alkisg>
...but a thin chroot would use the 12.04 GUI anyway
06:11
Are you using fat clients?
06:11
<mealstrom>
trying to set up few think ones to test productivity
06:11
what are faster and stable
06:12
<alkisg>
Sorry, I don't understand you
06:13
<mealstrom>
i've got fat clients which are using ddr1. I've made upgrade for server (dd3, 4-core, ubuntu-server 10.04 i386) and want to set up some thin clients to test would they work faster or not than fat ones
06:22
hah. Same error when trying to build client 12.04_386 on 12.04_386 server. What now ?
06:23
how to find out the problem /
06:24
<alkisg>
"want to set up some thin clients to test" ==> (09:11:15 πμ) alkisg: ...but a thin chroot would use the 12.04 GUI anyway
06:24
What's the output of this? sh -n /usr/share/ltsp/scripts/policy-rc.d.ltsp
06:26
<mealstrom>
print nothing
06:26
i can pastebin it
06:27
3 lines: if [ "$LTSP_HANDLE_DAEMONS" = "false" ]; then exit 101; fi
06:27
<alkisg>
And what command line are you using for ltsp-build-client?
06:27
(also, why 10.10 which is unsupported, instead of 10.04 which is still supported?)
06:27vmlintu has left IRC (vmlintu!~vmlintu@nblzone-240-143.nblnetworks.fi, Quit: Lähdössä)
06:30
<mealstrom>
alkisg: sflphone 1.0.0 doesnt run on 10.04 thats all. now i'm trying to install 12.04 to just test thin client. Im building clients with config file. configfile : http://pastebin.com/BDAg60fe
06:31
<alkisg>
Try removing the dist line
06:31
<mealstrom>
ok
06:37
same error
06:39
<alkisg>
Ah, ok, I just saw your initial pastebin, the problem isn't in update-alternatives but afterwards
06:40
Try the debug option of ltsp-build-client
06:41
or set -x at the top of it
06:43
<mealstrom>
ive run it this debug. waiting for error
06:49
DEBUG: Loading plugin: after-install: /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/010-debconf-seeds.
06:49
after this line error
06:50
look like ive found problem with ~ at debconf seed
06:50
my bad, as usual

Hello. What about local printing? I now, I now, on Debian it's a bug. But now, I've got Kubuntu 12.04, and local printer still doesn't work. On my production server I've got ~40 users and 5 local printer (on Debian Testing) - this "bug?" is so frustrating.
08:08
<alkisg>
bauerski: are you talking about this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/996533
08:09
<bauerski>
Exactly.
08:09
<alkisg>
So the problem in Kubuntu is that clients don't boot?
08:09
And is it the same in debian testing?
08:09
<bauerski>
No client booting OK.
08:09
<alkisg>
Then you're not talking about that bug
08:09
What do you have in your lts.conf?
08:11
<bauerski>
PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/usb/lp0
08:11
PRINTER_0_TYPE = U
08:12
<alkisg>
Do you have [Default] on top of that?
08:13
Also, is /dev/usb/lp0 actually correct?
08:15
<bauerski>
Yes, lts.conf is good. But during start jetdirect port is open, and after few seconds:
08:15
PORT STATE SERVICE
08:15
6007/tcp open X11:7
08:15
16001/tcp open unknow
08:15
no port 9100
08:16
<alkisg>
And is there a /dev/usb/lp0 device on the client?
08:16
<bauerski>
yes
08:17
And printer is connect and up.
08:18
<alkisg>
I wonder why it doesn't make your client hang on boot :)
08:18
Is your chroot an old one, maybe upgraded? What are the kernel parameters in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default ?
08:18
<bauerski>
one moment
08:20
Host is amd64, client i386.
08:20
label ltsp
08:20
kernel vmlinuz
08:20
append ro initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/nbd0 init=/sbin/init-ltsp quiet splash plymouth:force-splash vt.handoff=7 nbdroot=:ltsp_i386
08:22
<alkisg>
Looks good... can you get a local shell on your client and try those?
08:22
eval "$(getltscfg -a)"
08:23
. /usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/50-jetpipe
08:23
...and see if there are any errors in the output
08:23
<bauerski>
wait terminal reboot
08:24
<alkisg>
Btw I think all those PRINTER* lts.conf options should be replaced with RCFILE_xx="jetpipe <options>" lines instead
08:24mikkel has joined IRC (mikkel!~mikkel@80-71-132-15.u.parknet.dk)
08:24
<alkisg>
That way one can just look at the jetpipe manpage, I don't think there's need to bisect it into lts.conf options
08:26
<bauerski>
no error
08:26
<alkisg>
And the printer works fine after that?
08:27
<bauerski>
no port 9100 open (in nmap)
08:27
<alkisg>
getltscfg -a
08:28
Does that return the expected settings?
08:29
<bauerski>
yes, export PRINTER...
08:29
<alkisg>
ps aux|grep jetpipe, is that empty?
08:30
And finally, if that's indeed empty, try running: jetpipe /dev/usb/lp0 9100
08:31
<bauerski>
empty
08:32
now port is open
08:33
<alkisg>
OK, try removing all the printer options from lts.conf and putting only this:
08:34
RCFILE_01="jetpipe /dev/usb/lp0 9100"
08:36
<bauerski>
OK, i'll trying. But f***g hp win$ printer not working. I'll use another printer Xerox 8200. Wait a moment.
08:37
Printer warming up 15 min. :-)
08:40
<muppis>
Is there really some printer which is not suppoerted by hplip ?
08:50khildin has left IRC (khildin!~khildin@ip-83-134-214-134.dsl.scarlet.be, Read error: Connection reset by peer)
08:52
<bauerski>
Sorry, after RCFILE_01="/usr/sbin/jetpipe /dev/usb/lp0 9100", port disappears after full boot.
08:56
<alkisg>
cat /etc/rc.local
08:56
Is the jetpipe line there? If so, is it valid?
08:57
<bauerski>
correct line
08:58

08:59ogra_ has left IRC (ogra_!~ogra@p5098ed03.dip0.t-ipconnect.de, Excess Flood)

<alkisg>
So if you now just run /etc/rc.local, jetpipe starts properly?
09:01ogra_ has joined IRC (ogra_!~ogra@p5098ed03.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
09:03
<bauerski>
I think jetpipe start during boot (in nmap port is open), but next after few seconds no jetpipe open.
09:04
I'm going bananas ;-)

alkisg: shouldn't the client symlinks (ltsp-client-common-functions, and distro specific ones) be fixed?
09:36
most of them broke when moving from share to share/ltsp
09:37
<alkisg>
knipwim: I think vagrantc doesn't like the "fake" symlinks and prefers them to be done in the packaging instead
09:38
So afaik he deleted the debian ones, and expects the other distro maintainers to delete theirs, again afaik
09:38Da-Geek has joined IRC (Da-Geek!~Da-Geek@62.254.227.226)
09:39
<alkisg>
In other words, the common functions will be in common/ and there won't be any ltsp-client/server-common-functions symlinks in the source tree, but they'll only be in the distro packages
09:39
(not as symlinks but as actual files)
09:40
Maybe a makefile could help there, to generate the copies on the fly before the package building process
09:40
<knipwim>
or just package from /common indeed
09:41
i think ill do that for gentoo
09:45
<alkisg>
knipwim: if you're going to commit related stuff, just delete the broken symlinks, I don't think anyone will use those
09:52
<knipwim>
cool, i'll do that tonight

ive got question about lts.conf xrandr_somethig_0= how can i discover what to put there ? can you help me with this? or how can i convert working xorg.conf to xranrd parameters at lts.conf ?
14:15artista-frustrad has joined IRC (artista-frustrad!~fernando@200.247.43.2)
14:21
<alkisg>
Put your xorg.conf to pastebin
14:22
Otherwise, `man xrandr` should give you all the needed info

<alkisg>
What's the purpose of this xorg.conf, exactly? Only to specify the nvidia driver? You can do that with X_SERVER=nvidia
14:33
Other than that, you only have 1 monitor etc, I don't see what else would be needed
14:34
<mealstrom>
ive got 2 situation. 1st one -- when using 2 monitors. 2nd one when system doesnt detect resolution properly. For example, this xorg conf sets resolution 1280*1024 and system tryes to set it 2500xSomething
14:36
<alkisg>
To set resolution, you put e.g. XRANDR_MODE_0=1024x768
14:36
To arrange 2 monitors, first boot without any xorg.conf, and arrange them with regular xrandr commands
14:37
Once you manage that, you transfer the xrandr command to lts.conf
14:42
<mealstrom>
ive installed nvidia drivers on thin client. so i have to boot just with X_SERVER=nvidia and XRANDR_MODE_0=1024x768 and then do everything locally, and transfer config afterm right?
14:44

Yup, you might also need some MODULE_xx lts.conf directive if just X_SERVER doesn't do it

<stgraber>
alkisg: do you think you can get epoptes to use something else than vnc4's vnc4server and xvnc4viewer for 12.10?
16:34
I've just spent an hour trying to fix it to build on armhf (one of our target for Edubuntu on 12.10) and it's really quite broken
16:35
the reason of the build failure is something to do with a bug in its builtin copy of Xorg...
16:35
<alkisg>
Hi stgraber, it's currently supporting xvnc4viewer an ssvncviewer if I remember well
16:35
If we change the dependencies on debian/rules to depend on ssvncviewer [armfh], wouldn't that be all that's needed?
16:36
Or even, if xvnc4viewer isn't available, why isn't it pulling ssvnc?
16:36
Ah yeah the Depends line needs | ssvncviewer at the end
16:37
<stgraber>
what's ssvncviewer? I can't find it in the archive
16:37
<alkisg>
Package name == ssvnc
16:37
It's in epoptes' suggests, but it should be in depends as an alternative
16:38
<stgraber>
any reason not to use it by default?
16:38
it looks more maintained than vnc4
16:39
<alkisg>
xvnc4viewer supports menu disabling
16:39
So if a teacher wants to broadcast his screen and _doesnt'_ want the kids to be able to stop it, it can't be done with ssvnc
16:40
<stgraber>
ah, should be easy to add a command line paramter for that though?
16:40
<alkisg>
In the future we might be able to do a "transparent lock screen overlay" on top of the broadcast, but for now, xvnc4viewer sounds like a better choice

16:40
<alkisg>
Although xvnc4viewer has problems with 24bit and with arm
16:41
To add that option in ssvnc? Dunno how easy that would be to get upstream...
16:41
<stgraber>
because currently looking at the lack of maintenance on vnc4 and the fact that it has unfixed security issues, not to mention bundling a 5 years old X server, I'm very tempted to ask the archive admins to get it off the archive completely
16:42
<alkisg>
ssvncviewer is pretty fine RAM-wise too, http://www.epoptes.org/documentation/vnc
16:42
No change is needed in epoptes-client, it already supports ssvncviewer if it's installed, but a small change is needed in epoptes (server), in gui.py
16:43
To check if ssvncviewer is installed, and if so, use it
16:46
stgraber: could you file a bug about making ssvncviewer the default option?
16:46
And, when do you need it?
16:53
<stgraber>
we'll need that by feature freeze I'd think
16:53
one annoyance with ssvnc is that it'd bring java to the edubuntu packageset ...
16:55
<alkisg>
Ouch recommends?! Maybe the packager can make that "suggests" instead?
16:55
Afaik that's only for people that want to use it from their browser, not for everyday use, so "recommends" is too much
16:56
<stgraber>
yeah but we'll get it as build-depend so it'll end up in our packageset regardless
16:58
alkisg: can you write me a wiki page or an e-mail with exactly what feature you need in your vnc client? I seem to remember it being basically the listen mode, fullscreen and no possible user interaction
16:58
<alkisg>
stgraber: yeah, and listen mode should also support multiple clients
16:59
(for the "server" part to be able to assist many students)
16:59
And basically low ram usage
16:59
<stgraber>
I'd try to implement one using gtk's vnc library, it might end up using a bit more memory but wouldn't depend on anything weird and that library is in main and is clean at least
17:01
<alkisg>
We plan to use libvncserver in the future, the one x11vnc uses
17:01
But our next "major" update will be for 14.04...
17:01
<stgraber>
I'll see how easily it's to write something like gvncviewer but without any UI and just starting in listen mode by default, should be fairly easy to add whatever you need on top of that then
17:01
<alkisg>
For now the focus is on getting LTSP to work without a chroot
