<mealstrom>
i've rebooted my ltsp server with uptime of few months with fingers crossed.
07:24
and i need one more reboot
07:24
<Hyperbyte>
You're running LTSP?
07:24
Why aren't you on the worldmap?! :P
07:24
<alkisg>
!worldmap
07:24
<ltsp>
alkisg: worldmap: If you're using LTSP, please let the world know and share your story at http://www.ltsp.org/stories/ Your can add a nice pin to our world map at your location, plus your setup will count towards the global LTSP usage statistics.
07:24
<Hyperbyte>
:-D
07:24
<mealstrom>
hehe :)
07:24
nice try
07:24
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: I would be a faster cowboy than you :P
07:24
<Hyperbyte>
Nice try? We need some more people to add pins there man... it looks pathetic now. :P
07:27
<mealstrom>
okey okey. you ve won :D.
07:27* mealstrom is writing story
07:27
<Hyperbyte>
Yay! :-D
07:28
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: for greek schools, what would be the best? One story with many pins, or each school should enter its own story?
07:29
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, I think you have to decide that for yourselves
07:29
I think it makes sense if you add one story, explain how you've been working to bring LTSP to schools all over Greece
07:29
And then add a bunch of pins for all the schools
07:29
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: also, is it possible to have a URL that zooms e.g. into Greece?
07:30
<Hyperbyte>
Would be easiest
07:30
alkisg, yes, I'll make that.
07:30
<alkisg>
The problem with the "central story" is that then the schools won't be able to enter their own data
07:30
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, exactly. That's the downside.
07:30
<alkisg>
They'd have to go through me, because I'll be the one with the edit link...
07:30
...and I'm not sure I want to manage hundreds of pins without some automation...
07:32
<Hyperbyte>
What exactly would you like from me? :-)
07:33
<alkisg>
Can each school link to the same central story, and only add a small comment about its specific setup?
07:33
<Hyperbyte>
What exactly do they want to add?
07:33
What kind of info?
07:34
<alkisg>
Number of clients, distro, version... the pin data, not the story data
07:34
<Hyperbyte>
Sure. But it'll be the same link as the one used to edit the entire story.
07:34
So all schools could edit the entire story. Not sure if that's problematic for you?
07:35
<alkisg>
I don't think so, although maybe some teacher could wipe a few locations by mistake...
07:36
<mealstrom>
firefox doesnt want me to finish story...
07:36
<Hyperbyte>
You could say "use this link" (direct link to add location) and then give instructions to not edit anything further after clicking 'add location'
07:36
mealstrom, explain?
07:36
If there's bugs I'd love to know.
07:37
<mealstrom>
Hyperbyte: just hangs eating 100 cpu. dont know why.
07:37
<Hyperbyte>
Huh
07:37
When you clicked on something?
07:37
Or just at some random point?
07:37
Might be some javascript bug somewhere
07:37
<mealstrom>
some random.
07:37
<Hyperbyte>
Although there's hardly any javascript in there
07:38
Question - did it happen while you were editing data in a textarea?
07:38
<mealstrom>
i havent reloaded my pc for about a 14 days with open Firefox
07:38
Hyperbyte: yes.
07:39
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: any semi-automated way to transfer the existing locations from http://goo.gl/maps/nOoQ ?
07:39
<mealstrom>
weeee... my text was saved :D
07:40* mealstrom continues to print
07:40
<Hyperbyte>
Hrm
07:40
mealstrom, I think there might be some possible infinite loop in the javascript
07:41
I've made it a bit more safe now. It'll adjust the height of the textboxes slower on copy/paste, but there's no more 'while' statements so no risk of loops.
07:41
alkisg, I'm not sure.
07:42
Can you export the data there somehow?
07:42
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: ltsp 5.4 missing from the combobox
07:42
<Hyperbyte>
My "locations" database just contains a story_id and longitude/latitude plus details about number of clients, etc.
07:42
<alkisg>
Sure, exporting the data would be my job
07:42
I can send you a .csv with the data you want
07:42
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, then we can do business. :-)
07:42
<alkisg>
Cool
07:43
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, I was thinking I should also add ltsp-pnp and kiwi-ltsp maybe there in the versions
07:43
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: maybe some checkboxes there
07:43
[x] thins [x] fats [x] localapps [x] ltsp-pnp etc
07:44
<Hyperbyte>
Bit late with feedback like that. ;-)
07:44
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: I'm thinking central story ==> english, label descriptions ==> greek, sounds ok?
07:44
*location descriptions...
07:52
<Hyperbyte>
Sure
07:52
Moment
07:52
(I've added 5.4 by the way)
07:53
For adding a whole bunch of locations to one story, I need to know per location:
07:53
<mealstrom>
ive added my story :D Ukraine->Xcity
07:54
<muppis>
netland
07:54
<mealstrom>
please note if you've found any grammar mistakes )
07:54
<muppis>
Dman autopopup :)
07:54
<Hyperbyte>
- descriptive name of the location ("Greek Institute of Science", "Alkis G. High School", etc)00000
07:54
- country ("Greece")
07:55
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: wait a minute, let's give those some thought
07:55
<Hyperbyte>
- longitude
07:55
- latitude
07:55
- Linux distribution
07:55
- LTSP version
07:55
- number of clients
07:55
- number of servers
07:55
<alkisg>
From a dev/supporter view, I'd like to know how many people prefer e.g. fat clients over thin clients, how many use localapps etc
07:56
And since you sum all that up in the central story... maybe we can use it to get good feedback, not just publicity
07:56komunista has joined IRC (komunista!~slavko@adsl-195-168-247-178.dynamic.nextra.sk)
07:56
<Hyperbyte>
mealstrom, yay! Nice. :-)
07:57
alkisg, you mean you'd like to know per-location if it's thin/fat/localapps/pnp?
07:57
<alkisg>
I don't mind so much if it's per location or not, I just care about the sums, but it's easier for people to enter them by location, so yeah
07:57
<mealstrom>
how about to add some flag like: add more information ?
07:57
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, by the way, the worldmap is definitely not 'just for publicity' :)
07:58
mealstrom, there is. :-) On the link you've recieved (the main page of managing your story) there's a link to add more details
07:58
<alkisg>
Sure, one can see the prefered distro/ltsp version etc, but it'd be nice to have more stats there
07:58
<mealstrom>
Hyperbyte: can you add this to main form?
07:58
<Hyperbyte>
mealstrom, we seperated it to keep the form from being intimidating. :)
07:58
But I'll consider making it stand out more.
08:00
<mealstrom>
okay. imagine situation: i've entered wrong email.
08:00komunista has left IRC (komunista!~slavko@adsl-195-168-247-178.dynamic.nextra.sk, Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
08:01
<alkisg>
So basically what I'd like to know... Number of servers: [1], Number of thin clients: [8], Using localapps: [x], Number of fat clients: [10], Using ltsp-pnp: [x]...
08:01
<mealstrom>
there was no email check, and i've got it in my mailbox. So first one: i've entered wrong email, second: email hasnt arraived yet.
08:02
OMG. ive got email to google spam
08:03
you should add DKIM signature to pass gmail default spam filter
08:03
<Hyperbyte>
mealstrom, interesting. I need to add some more body to the e-mail (text-wise)
08:05
alkisg, alright. I'll think about those for a bit and then get back to you. :)
08:06
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: also... the locations editing will get problematic if one story has e.g. 200 locations
08:06
You have connected 2 locations with this LTSP story. => imagine a web page showing all 200 locations
08:06
The location description should show up for more than e.g. 5 locations
08:07
(and not the little map)
08:09
<Hyperbyte>
Also good suggestion
08:09
<alkisg>
Finally, in the global map pins, the location description should show up to discriminate between them
08:10
<Hyperbyte>
Yep, I already have that one.
08:10
Location description was added later in process
08:11
<alkisg>
What we put more in our "location" pins: school web site, and person in charge of the school lab. Not sure if those would fit in the ltsp.org stories...
08:13
<Hyperbyte>
Unfortunately, person maintaining LTSP and website URL are part of story, not location
08:13
I -could- of course, add several stories based on one template.
08:14
I mean, if I can add 200 locations to one story from a .csv I could as well just add 200 seperate stories from one story template.
08:14komunista has joined IRC (komunista!~slavko@adsl-195-168-229-074.dynamic.nextra.sk)
08:15
<alkisg>
Nah, I think in our case schools == more of "locations" than stories
08:15
It's the same setup, maintained/documented etc centrally for all greek schools
08:17
<Hyperbyte>
Would it be problematic for you if there weren't links to all websites of schools and info about who's maintaining LTSP?
08:26
<alkisg>
No, no
08:26
http://www.ltsp.org/stories/viewstory/?story_id=8&secret=ed1d48
08:27
Hyperbyte: why is there a secret in the "public view" link?
08:28
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, when I coded it, it seemed logical to prevent someone or something from sucking the database dry, including getting to stories we deactive
08:28
Now I'm not entirely sure it's necessary, but shouldn't hurt I think.
08:28
<alkisg>
Sure, as long as the URL to the story doesn't change frequently
08:29
So that we don't need to update e.g. the wikies that instruct the teachers to add their location
08:29
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, they shouldn't.
08:34
alkisg, check world map. I've changed it around a bit
08:41
<alkisg>
Cool, the description shows up now :)
08:42
<Hyperbyte>
http://www.ltsp.org/stories/worldmap/?country=Greece
08:42
Next you're gonna ask if you can specify width and height as well, I bet.
08:43
<alkisg>
Haha nah it's good enough

09:03khildin has joined IRC (khildin!~khildin@ip-80-236-193-176.dsl.scarlet.be)
09:05
<mealstrom>
you can try to personalize email adding First Name and Last Name with info like: you have received this massage because someone has typed it in site ... Also gmail likes link to delete or unsubscribe.
09:44
<Hyperbyte>
mealstrom, yeah, like I said:
09:44

any plans to add user registration on ltsp.org?

situation: i've delited email from ltsp to edit my story, or email was deleted by server as spam or something like this. how to edit it ? :)
09:52
<alkisg>
Click on the "get link to edit the story" from the site
09:52
Reminder mail
09:53
<Hyperbyte>
:-)
09:53
mealstrom, no, we chose to not have user registration on purpose.
09:55
<mealstrom>
alkisg: if entered mail was incorect? :D
09:56
maybe make approve to story via email validation ?
09:56
<muppis>
mealstrom, how you received the mail anyway if you entered incorrect address at first place? o.0
10:34
<Hyperbyte>
Right. I'm an advocate of the idea that you just enter the correct e-mail address.

13:58
<ogra_>
hmm
13:59
how does the boot hang ?
13:59
do you get into an initrd or does it die before ?

Yeah but that's not something we can expect users to do :-/
14:11
<Hyperbyte>
Well, then you enter address nearby and leave pin there. :P
14:11
But are there seriously addresses in Greece that Google Maps simply 'doesn't know'?
14:12
<alkisg>
Sure, thousands of them
14:13
And I imagine in other countries as well

(latest quantal)
14:53

let me grab the latest one and retry :)
15:03
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, well, I'm not sure how Google Maps would allow me to "drag" a marker
15:04
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: maybe then we should have a wiki page about "cannot find your address? click here" and show instructions there telling the users how to copy their long/lat from google maps
15:04

<mikec>
So, when a user logs in to ltsp-cluster, does their entire session run off of the one application server that the load balancer chose for them? Or is there also a way to launch specific apps using the lbserver process again?
16:11
For example, I have users that log in and get ApplServerA, but I want R software to choose between AppServerX,,Y, or Z, because those are larger compute servers

<stgraber>
ogra_: oh, I think I know what the problem is, I need to get ltsp to run mkimage
17:51
<ogra_>
++
17:52
<stgraber>
ogra_: what's the best way to get the uImage generated? trick flash-kernel inside the chroot or do a manual mkimage run outside of the chroot when copying to /var/lib/tftpboot?
17:52
<ogra_>
something like that ...
17:53
i was planning to work on a cli tool to make actual use fo the flash-kernel functions independently ... but didnt get to that yet
17:53
<stgraber>
I guess the easiest would be to tell flash-kernel that I want it to generate the equivalent of the vfat fs for a given target platform
17:54
<ogra_>
what i would do in the ltsp case is to just source the functions file from /usr/share/flash-kernel
17:54
then you can make use of the functions that create the bootloader bits
17:54
flash-kernel itself will try to hardcodedly write to your boot device
18:05
<stgraber>
107 mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n "Ubuntu Kernel" -d vmlinuz uImage
18:05
108 mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C none -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -n "Ubuntu Initrd" -d initrd.img uInitrd
18:06
ogra_: ^ that gave me something that remotely looks like a working kernel and initrd, except that now it kernel panics ;)
18:06
<ogra_>
how ?
18:06
<stgraber>
[ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: ERROR: Failed to allocate 0x100000 bytes below 0x0.
18:07
making me think something is off with the memory range for the initrd
18:07
<ogra_>
try dropping -a and -e
18:07
<stgraber>
oh, that or my mem= is completely wrong
18:08
<ogra_>
drop it, quantal doesnt need it anymore
18:08
<stgraber>
yay!
18:08
<ogra_>
our default image only sets ro quiet and splash
18:08
<stgraber>
nice
18:08
<ogra_>
boots ?
18:09
<stgraber>
will know in a few seconds, PXE is much slower on the panda than on x86 ;)
18:09Parker955 is now known as Parker955_Away
18:09
<stgraber>
btw, any hope of updating http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/quantal/main/installer-armhf/current/images/omap4/netboot/ to use the current boot flags and use preEnv.txt?
18:09
yay, boots!
18:09
<ogra_>
awesome
18:09
<stgraber>
well, nbd fails but that's my fault ;)
18:09
<ogra_>
yeah, i'm working on converting the world to preEnv.txt
18:10* ogra_ has to go now ... but i might be back later for a few mins
18:10
<stgraber>
cool, thanks for the help!
18:10
just need to push that stuff upstreaam now

Mip5, man useradd

Or, read up on LDAP - but that's far more complicated

and far more awesome

Mip5: same as any server/workstation

Thanks - I was looking at useradd, but was wondering whether there was some preferred way. I'll get on it.

actually used newuser filename, where filename contains usernames, passwords, group name, home directory, in a form like that of /etc/passwd. Seemed to work nicely, and was fast.
