IRC chat logs for #ltsp on irc.libera.chat (webchat)
Channel log from 22 June 2012 (all times are UTC)
| 00:07 | <highvoltage> vagrantc: hmm, /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf doesn't seem to be used on debian if it exists
| |
| 00:10 | <vagrantc> highvoltage: nope
| |
| 00:11 | i do recall including some documentation to add an include line to /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
| |
| 00:12 | https://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto
| |
| 00:14 | <highvoltage> I just like having it easy for everyone :)
| |
| 00:15 | * vagrantc thinks having /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf be silently ignored is a bad idea | |
| 00:15 | <vagrantc> i generally prefer dnsmasq anyways :)
| |
| 00:15 | <highvoltage> heh

| |
| 14:06 | <knipwim> jammcq: pong
| |
| 14:07 | prp^2 is now known as prpplague | |
| 14:07 | <prpplague> jammcq: hey there
| |
| 14:13 | awilliams has left IRC (awilliams!mistik1@unaffiliated/mistik1, Ping timeout: 248 seconds) | |
| 14:15 | <jammcq> prpplague: HEY !!!
| |
| 14:15 | how's it going
| |
| 14:15 | <prpplague> jammcq: going pretty good!
| |
| 14:15 | <jammcq> knipwim: hey, sbalneav has created an account on the wiki but i'm unable to grant him admin rights
| |
| 14:15 | somehow I don't have permission to do that
| |
| 14:15 | <prpplague> jammcq: was in a meeting last week and somone asked "anyone have experience with thin client and LTSP?" hehe
| |
| 14:15 | <jammcq> prpplague: I was following your google+ for a while. seems like you've landed yourself a pretty nice job
| |
| 14:15 | hahahah
| |
| 14:16 | mgariepy has left IRC (mgariepy!mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 14:16 | <prpplague> jammcq: yea its doing pretty well, we'll see if there renew my contract in the fall
| |
| 14:16 | <knipwim> jammcq: okay, i'll look into it
| |
| 14:16 | <jammcq> knipwim: I am still in the 'administrators' group
| |
| 14:16 | I just can't do that one thing
| |
| 14:16 | <prpplague> jammcq: not following me anymore? hehe
| |
| 14:17 | <jammcq> knipwim: maybe I need to be in the 'Beureucrats' group
| |
| 14:17 | prpplague: having problems with g+ multiple accounts, apps for business issues
| |
| 14:17 | I can't keep track of g+ anymore
| |
| 14:17 | <prpplague> jammcq: ahh
| |
| 14:17 | jammcq: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/21/hp-passport-1912nm-internet-monitor/
| |
| 14:17 | <jammcq> one day I'll figure it all out
| |
| 14:17 | <prpplague> jammcq: got to do some testing for network booting for that
| |
| 14:18 | jammcq: i need to setup the latest LTSP and do a few tests with it
| |
| 14:18 | <jammcq> wow
| |
| 14:18 | <highvoltage> stgraber: do you have any thoughts on changing the default ip range in ubuntu for ltsp to 192.168.67.0?
| |
| 14:19 | <knipwim> jammcq: yeah think so
| |
| 14:19 | jammcq: you have the admin account?
| |
| 14:19 | <jammcq> knipwim: ah yeah
| |
| 14:19 | I do
| |
| 14:19 | I'll fix it
| |
| 14:20 | duh
| |
| 14:20 | <knipwim> tell scott i'm in the web channel if he wants to discuss things
| |
| 14:20 | <prpplague> jammcq: it's OMAP4430 based, pretty low power and really nice
| |
| 14:21 | jammcq: only problem is the net connection is via USB, so there are few things i have to do get it all booting from network
| |
| 14:22 | <stgraber> highvoltage: how will you deal with upgrades?
| |
| 14:22 | <jammcq> knipwim: all set. we are all bureaucrats now :)
| |
| 14:22 | stgraber: hey, any word on UDS in the fall ?
| |
| 14:22 | <stgraber> jammcq: 99% sure it'll be in Europe
| |
| 14:23 | <prpplague> jammcq: you making it out to any conferences in the fall?
| |
| 14:23 | <highvoltage> stgraber: hmm, I guess for old systems it should keep it like it is, but yeah I don't want to think about it right now so I guess I'll take it all back :)
| |
| 14:24 | <stgraber> highvoltage: thanks :)
| |
| 14:24 | <jammcq> stgraber: any word on dates?
| |
| 14:24 | <stgraber> jammcq: yeah, I believe we have the dates also somewhere around 90% sure, let me check quickly
| |
| 14:24 | <jammcq> tanks
| |
| 14:24 | mgariepy has joined IRC (mgariepy!mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy) | |
| 14:25 | <stgraber> jammcq: 29th of October to 2nd of November

| 14:26 | mgariepy has left IRC (mgariepy!mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy, Client Quit) | |
| 14:31 | <jammcq> stgraber: awesome, thanks
| |
| 14:31 | and that's about 90% reliable?
| |
| 14:31 | mgariepy has joined IRC (mgariepy!mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy) | |
| 14:32 | <prpplague> jammcq: hows biz on your end of things?
| |
| 14:33 | <stgraber> jammcq: yeah, so far that's what we know internally. As far as I know they haven't signed with the conference center yet, so it may change but is pretty unlikely.
| |
| 14:33 | <jammcq> prpplague: it's been a pretty tight couple of years, but i'm seeing some light at the end of the tunnel
| |
| 14:33 | <prpplague> jammcq: oh? general economy stuff?
| |
| 14:33 | <jammcq> stgraber: so... because it's in europe, we should allow some time between UDS and BTS
| |
| 14:34 | prpplague: yeah... when times got tough in 2008, we were still doing really well. it didn't hit us until 2010, but it hit pretty hard
| |
| 14:35 | <prpplague> jammcq: ahh
| |
| 14:35 | <jammcq> stgraber: so... we'd prolly shoot for Oct 18-21
| |
| 14:35 | or maybe nov 8-11
| |
| 14:36 | but... with that bad weather we saw last year on the last day, i'd vote for earlier
| |
| 14:36 | <stgraber> jammcq: earlier will be difficult for me because we release Ubuntu on the 18th, so it's a no-go
| |
| 14:36 | <jammcq> hmmm
| |
| 14:36 | that's bad
| |
| 14:36 | <stgraber> jammcq: and I'll likely already be in Europe at that time for release
| |
| 14:36 | <prpplague> jammcq: well if you make it to any of linux conferences in the fall be sure and let me know
| |
| 14:36 | <jammcq> well... maybe we need to do later then
| |
| 14:37 | prpplague: sure. I haven't had the pleasure of doing a conf it quite a while
| |
| 14:38 | <stgraber> jammcq: later would certainly work better for me or having it much earlier in October
| |
| 14:38 | <jammcq> stgraber: hmm, later might be a problem for the seawall
| |
| 14:38 | how early would you like?
| |
| 14:39 | stgraber: what if it was Oct 4-7 ?
| |
| 14:39 | <stgraber> jammcq: looking at the calendar, the first weekend of October would be best I think (4-7)
| |
| 14:40 | <jammcq> heh
| |
| 14:41 | <stgraber> jammcq: but I'm not the only attendee so it's certainly worth poking the usual others too :)
| |
| 14:41 | highvoltage, ogra_: ^
| |
| 14:43 | mgariepy: ^
| |
| 14:45 | * ogra_ isnt sure if he comes | |
| 14:45 | <highvoltage> stgraber: it's cutting it a bit close to releast time don't you think?
| |
| 14:45 | <ogra_> i would actually prefer to have a BTS in europe this time :P
| |
| 14:45 | right, we'll be busy for exactly the three weeks around the release
| |
| 14:45 | <jammcq> ogra_: you get canonical to sponsor us and we'll go anywhere you want :)
| |
| 14:46 | <stgraber> highvoltage: yeah, it does, I wouldn't mind having it mid-September FWIW but not sure how that'd work for other people
| |
| 14:46 | sbalneav has joined IRC (sbalneav!~sbalneav@mail.legalaid.mb.ca) | |
| 14:46 | <sbalneav> Morning all.
| |
| 14:46 | <jammcq> Scotty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| |
| 14:46 | <ogra_> jammcq, stgraber's job ... he owns LTSP in ubuntu now :P
| |
| 14:46 | <sbalneav> Got my first cut of the docbooktowiki script going.
| |
| 14:46 | <stgraber> ogra_: hehe, I do as long as it's on my spare time (or when it's messed up enough that the alternate images no longer build) :)
| |
| 14:47 | <ogra_> (though its the same manager we would have to ask so it doesnt really matter to whom he says no i guess )
| |
| 14:47 | <sbalneav> http://server.ltsp.org/wiki/LTSPManual
| |
| 14:47 | <highvoltage> stgraber: I guess there's a chance I could just not make bts this year but I'll survive :)
| |
| 14:47 | <sbalneav> Looks like crap right now, but it's actively parsing the XML, and at least getting some structure out there.

| 14:48 | <jammcq> highvoltage: what's the different if you work on the release stuff in montreal or maine?
| |
| 14:49 | <ogra_> HW access ?
| |
| 14:49 | <highvoltage> jammcq: I could do it in maine, it would just mean that I'd be physically present but my mind wouldn't :)
| |
| 14:49 | <jammcq> if he's having hw problems, seems like bts would be the best place
| |
| 14:50 | <highvoltage> jammcq: I already felt bad last time for being so distracted by other stuff :)
| |
| 14:50 | mmetzger has joined IRC (mmetzger!~mmetzger@99-71-214-196.lightspeed.mdldtx.sbcglobal.net) | |
| 14:51 | <ogra_> i didnt say HW problems ...
| |
| 14:52 | if i would want to do release testing in maine i would have to carry two extra suitcases for all the HW i need fo rteh different arm arches i test
| |
| 14:52 | <mgariepy> for me mid sept would be nice ;)
| |
| 14:52 | <stgraber> mgariepy: that'd work quite well for me too actually (I've got stuff in August and stuff in October/November but September is completely free, well, besides usual work)
| |
| 14:53 | <jammcq> I think earlier becomes a problem for the seawall. we can usually get in there because the tourist season is over
| |
| 14:53 | <highvoltage> the make-a-wish cycle thingy is happening on 14-16 sept so that would be a bad time for me
| |
| 14:53 | <jammcq> usually into about mid-oct
| |
| 14:53 | not even sure we can do oct 4

| 14:54 | jordanm has joined IRC (jordanm!~jordanm@pdpc/supporter/active/jordanm) | |
| 14:55 | <jordanm> does graphics rendering occur on the server side? The manual doesn't mention any video card requirements
| |
| 14:55 | <ogra_> jammcq, please ask about speedbump !
| |
| 14:55 | jammcq, they removed his pic from the website and i'm worried !
| |
| 14:55 | <jammcq> ok, dave's not in right now. talked to Mindy
| |
| 14:56 | remember her? she's the one that used to be a waitress at the breakfast place
| |
| 14:56 | <ogra_> yep
| |
| 14:56 | <jammcq> the one that likes Ron so much
| |
| 14:56 | <ogra_> the one e asked for a ride
| |
| 14:56 | <jammcq> yeah
| |
| 14:56 | anyway, I can talk to Dave later today to begin nailing down a date
| |
| 14:56 | <ogra_> (and she was to scared ny driving around with ron, so we had to take a taxi) :P
| |
| 14:57 | well, plkease ask about speedy (and tell them their new website is horrid)
| |
| 14:57 | <jammcq> she's the manager at the seawall now
| |
| 14:57 | <ogra_> cool !
| |
| 14:57 | sbalneav has left IRC (sbalneav!~sbalneav@mail.legalaid.mb.ca, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 14:57 | <jammcq> jordanm: all rendering happens wherever the monitor is plugged in
| |
| 14:58 | <ogra_> well ...
| |
| 14:58 | depends on the technology
| |
| 14:58 | <jammcq> well... a fancy graphics card in the server doesn't do much
| |
| 14:59 | <ogra_> indeed

| 15:00 | komunista has joined IRC (komunista!~slavko@adsl-195-098-010-065.dynamic.nextra.sk) | |
| 15:00 | <ogra_> but a properly written GL app would for example speed up rendering a lot since the server only needs to send vectro changes across the net
| |
| 15:00 | *vector
| |
| 15:00 | but indeed the final rendering will still happen on the client

| |
| 15:14 | I am trying to determine why the clients are "slugish". I am only testing a single client at a time, on a machine well above recommended specs. resource usage is low and the network is 1Gb/s, not sure what else to look at
| |
| 15:18 | <ogra_> did you try LDM_DIRECTX ?
| |
| 15:21 | <jordanm> ogra_: no, I will give that a try

| 20:05 | <ball> Anyone here understand xdm, xdmcp and the "chooser"?
| |
| 20:10 | <Hyperbyte> !ask
| |
| 20:10 | <ltsp> Hyperbyte: 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.
| |
| 20:12 | <ball> OK then. :-) I need to learn how to use the "chooser" but I don't have a manpage for it and it doesn't seem to recognize -help, -version etc. Although i'm not using it in an ltsp environment, ltsp uses X terminals (I'm told) so I thought perhaps someone here might know.

| 20:46 | <ball> Aha, perhaps it's not finding xdmcp on my LAN
| |
| 20:47 | Does an LTSP server run that?
| |
| 20:57 | [GuS] has left IRC ([GuS]!~MysT@unaffiliated/gus/x-663402, Quit: Konversation terminated!) | |
| 20:57 | <ball> Is it difficult to install ltsp on an existing Linux box?
| |
| 21:06 | <knipwim> not really
| |
| 21:06 | depends a bit on the os
| |
| 21:08 | <ball> She's running Qimo, which is a Xubuntu-derivative
| |
| 21:10 | <knipwim> and you want to run an ltsp-server on it?
| |
| 21:10 | <ball> knipwim: Eventually perhaps. It would be nice for her to be able to open a session on it from elsewhere in the house
| |
| 21:10 | <knipwim> take a look in the package manager to see if an ltsp package is available
| |
| 21:11 | <ball> ltsp-server, apprently.
| |
| 21:11 | Let's try that.
| |
| 21:12 | Out of interest though, is there some way to make gdm offer XDMCP ?
| |
| 21:12 | <knipwim> sorry, not my field of expertise
| |
| 21:13 | <ball> OK. I'm installing the ltsp-server package
| |
| 21:24 | <Hyperbyte> ball, sure...
| |
| 21:24 | Try googling a bit
| |
| 21:24 | I know that's a cheap answer, but there's tons of documentation on xdmcp.
| |
| 21:25 | Heck, there's even a special page for it on the Ubuntu wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/xdmcp
| |
| 21:25 | I'm thinking you're taking a bit overkill approach though
| |
| 21:25 | If you want to take over a session from somewhere else in the house, I'd suggest VNC or NX.
| |
| 21:26 | Personally, I run a VNC desktop on my network server at home. It has my mail programs, notes and even this IRC client running in it. :)
| |
| 21:26 | <ball> We have VNC in place and working now. I was hoping to try X too though.
| |
| 21:27 | <Hyperbyte> I can even use my Android phone to connect to my VNC desktop. ;-)
| |
| 21:27 | <ball> I've been trying to build an X terminal, but I'm not making much progress
| |
| 21:27 | ...mostly I think because I don't know how to bring up xdmcp on the Linux box

| 21:28 | <ball> This is partly for use at home, but also because I want to understand thin clients and X terminals for use at the office.
| |
| 21:28 | <Hyperbyte> Well, luckily I just gave you a link with lots of information. And you can find lots more on Google. So... good luck! ;-)
| |
| 21:28 | I'm off to bed.
| |
| 21:28 | <ball> Thanks for the link.
| |
| 21:29 | <Hyperbyte> Good luck... if you need more help, feel free to ask here...
