<ltspuser_22>
I have gotten into a bit of a mess and broke the internal config of our Edubuntu lab. I'm not too worried about getting it back but just wanted to let everyone know its present status before I get into the basic issue that I was hoping to get some help with. I would like to
00:49
enable other, non-PXE clients to access the Internet. I understand it can be done.
00:52
Am I on the right track thinking I need coding in the Default LTSP dhcpd.conf config file that would add a condition similar to waht is alread there where it contains " if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" { filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0"; } else { filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img"; }"?
00:54
under the else section I would want the non-PXEClients to get access to the internet instead of getting nbi.img.
00:57
CTCP version? Not sure what that is but maybe the answer is Edubuntu 12.04?

alkisg: it does, but /home/user is empty
10:43
<alkisg>
knipwim: with localapps enabled, that was supposed to have been mounted with sshfs
10:43
knipwim: don't run ls as root though, run it as user
10:43
Root won't see the sshfs contents
10:43
(...maybe)
10:44
<knipwim>
i have
10:44
<alkisg>
grep /home /proc/mounts
10:44
If there's no /home/user there, then you have some sshfs problem
10:44
So try it manually
10:57
<knipwim>
hmm, when logging on to the server with ssh it complains about not being able to create /home/user/.ssh
10:57
even when i already created it manually
11:04

11:51
i can sshfs manually
11:52
but apparently it doesn't do so by default

which script takes care of this?

So, booting livecd.iso images from grub2 without having the kernel outside the iso is very easy...
14:24
...we can use that to provide ltsp-fat-client installers for windows :D
14:24
(for fat clients over slow networks, or over wireless)
14:25
win32-loader takes care of installing grub2, then grub2 loads the kernel from within the .iso/squashfs image, and finally a small ltsp initramfs script can mount the iso/squashfs image read only instead of using nbd/nfs
14:27
<muppis>
I (still) use my fat htpc over wlan bridge and I don't see booting time a issue, but it's only client over wlan.

Yeah with multiple clients you'd have problems, 50mbps isn't enough for 12 clients
14:28

I can figure.

<markit>
alkisg: these days I had problems with ltsp "frozing" or being really slow (thin), I think I've isulated the problem... https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52547 is FF + Libo related
17:47
just to notify you if happens to receive desperate calls from teachers ;P
17:48
<alkisg>
markit: what is "libo"?
17:48
Libreoffice:D
17:48
OK
17:50
markit: are you sure this is what's freezing your clients?
17:50
It doesn't sound like this bug can freeze a pc..
17:51
<markit>
from teacher description I thought was a lan problem
17:51
then I tested the lan and was ok
17:51
last test I logged in the stuedent's account, and it was fine even with the pc it used in teh morning
17:51
then I went in the "recent used" files
17:52
and loaded a writer doc that... froze the libreoffice
17:52
I went in the server and I saw a 100% cpu usage of a core with libreoffice process
17:52
when it fetched the image everything went to normal
17:52
but it took 20 seconds
17:53
I think that if 20 children is doing their research on "cat and dogs" and pasting those nice pictures of the pets in their writer document
17:53
the result can't be different from a desperate situation :)
17:55
I'm also going to write an email to plasma-dev mailing list about kde "high I/O", but I dubt they will fix soon
17:55komunista has joined IRC (komunista!~slavko@adsl-195-168-234-074.dynamic.nextra.sk)
17:55
<markit>
also for libo's bug I dubt they will fix soon, has been reported only by 2 people (one is me)
17:55
I'm asking in the dev channel if someone will help me fix the code myself
17:56
because should be trivial, but not programming in C++ and not knowing the insight of 10Million lines of code will not help ;P
17:57
btw, epoptes is working great :)
17:57
looking forward having the multicast feature, sooner or later
17:57
<alkisg>
I can't reproduce the problem, I just copied an image from the internet and paste it to libreoffice and it only took 1 second and 5% cpu
17:58
markit: btw do you have 1gbps NIC on your server?
17:58
If so, then multicasting to ten 100 mbps clients would be the same as now, since in both cases the clients can only get up to 100mbps each
18:00
<markit>
alkisg: do you have FF > 10 ?
18:00
<alkisg>
Stock ubuntu 12.04
18:00
So ff 15
18:00
<markit>
alkisg: maybe you pasted a small image?
18:01
<alkisg>
Give me link to one that reproduces the problem
18:01
<markit>
also we have a 640Kbits connection
18:01
<alkisg>
I tried with the picture from epoptes.org
18:01
<markit>
if you have a 7Mbit you have libo stuck for few seconds, so no problem
18:02
mmm here I've debian with ff 10, so I've not the problem
18:02
you could try to paste multiple pictures in one document, then save and then load
18:03
and I've done the tests you suggested to check the speed of the lan, may I pastebin you the terminal log?
18:03
just to be sure I'm not missunderstanding something
18:04
<alkisg>
No need, of course it downloads the images from the internet, but I don't see the 100% cpu part
18:05
<markit>
btw, http://pastebin.ca/2229951
18:05
<alkisg>
And http://images.psxextreme.com/wallpapers/ps3/quantum_space_617.jpg => 1920x1080 => 220 kb
18:05
<markit>
I'm not sure why ipfef returns to the prompt with some process still running and returning later
18:05
<alkisg>
If one has 10 such images and a very low bandwidth, sure, it would cause delays
18:05
<markit>
alkisg: let me boot the laptop with kubuntu 12.04 and test myself
18:06
yes, but consider 24 clients doing that
18:06
<alkisg>
They shouldn't do that
18:06
They should embed the images instead
18:06
<markit>
yes, but libreoffice has a bug
18:06
if they "paste" the image, instead the "live image" is pasted
18:07
they should do "paste special" and choose "bitmap"
18:07
is FF that has changed behaviour
18:07
<alkisg>
Yes I got the problem
18:07
What about other browsers?
18:07
<markit>
the bug poster tells that every recent browser like Chrome do that
18:07
since they want to make easier to use some google functionality
18:08
is just that libreoffice should improve
18:08
but should do very fast
18:08
<alkisg>
markit: your iperf bandwidth is fine, so for up to 10 clients, multicasting will have about the same performance as single casting (except for the server - side screen grabbing)
18:08
<markit>
good point
18:08
in any case we have 24 :)
18:09
<alkisg>
Multicasting will mostly help servers with 100 mbps bandwidth, it'll make their speed 10 times faster
18:09
With 24 clients, just 2.4 times faster
18:09
Not much
18:09
<markit>
I've checked also with wireshark, and I've found a lot of retransmission, I have to analize the data better to see in % how much
18:09
alkisg: wondering where is the bottle neck then
18:10gvy has joined IRC (gvy!~mike@altlinux/developer/mike)
18:10
<markit>
the server video board is fast
18:10
<alkisg>
How many FPS do you get with full screen vnc?
18:10
<markit>
do you remember the video I made? probably 2 ? :)
18:11
or better, the effect was of "rotation update"
18:11
you see the first client update, then the second, then the fird... and then the first again
18:11
as far as I remember, at least
18:11
<alkisg>
The bottleneck might be server-side screen grabbing... I'm not sure if x11vnc uses caching when multiple clients connect
18:11
<markit>
btw, dinner time, if you have further considerations write here I will read soon
18:11
<alkisg>
bb
18:12
<markit>
alkisg: I tested video board grabbign with some suggested tools and was high
18:12
but maybe not good enough for video
18:12
<alkisg>
VNC will never be good enough for video
18:12
Even with 1 client and gigabit connection
18:13
For that you'll need a video codec
