to increase the performance of the firefox I changed it to run as a localapp
16:05
but when we use a browser we need to open some docs and do many things...
16:05
do I need to install all the other programs as localapps too??
16:06
like a pdf reader, open office??
16:06
or is there a way to use the ones on the server

all the things are on the server...

if you're thin clients are fast enough to run all that anyway, ight as reconfig for fat client

ight/might/

Morning Folks - I've got a widescreen display, but the image is "stretched." There are no options to change the display settings when logged into the client. Any thoughts? I haven't specified anything special about these clients in lts.conf - maybe I need to.
17:55
<||cw>
mip5: vga or dvi? the drivers probably aren't auto detecting properly, common with vga. you can set the res in the lts.conf

<mip5>
vga - yeah, it's not detecting monitors (or at least, I get nothing back after selecting that). How would I specify it in lts.conf? I've got 12 clients with these monitors, and about 25 others with standard monitors.
18:01
<mgariepy>
||cw, remote apps support is working: http://www.stgraber.org/2010/12/06/announcing-ldm-2-2-and-ltsp-5-2-5/
18:03
||cw, basicly all you need to do is to set REMOTE_APPS=True and you are done, local firefox or chromium/chrome will call a wrapper script to launch the app on the application server

Silly question - how can I determine the video card in my thin client? I'm trying to set the display options in lts.conf so that I can use the widescreen without the image being stretched.

Okay - I've been able to enter the [MAC address] in lts.conf to have a particular machine boot differently (eg, SCREEN_02=shell). However, I can't seem to get it to read my X_MODE_0=1366x768 resolution. Any ideas?

I've only done it on native linux installs
19:58
is it not possible to use dvi?
19:58
or the screen doens't have it?
19:58
<mip5>
No - I had originally spec'd dvi monitors, but they were out of stock, and the school bought vga instead
20:06
<||cw>
I seen to recall a couple sites that have modeline generators
20:08
<mip5>
okay - I'll keep hunting around. It seems like I'm missing something basic...

ltspuser_44: "compile" is the wrong word, it builds from existing already compiled packages. any arch that ubuntu 12.04 supports should be buildable

Hi, thanks for the answer, i have tried some --arch parameters without success, for example --arch armel or --arch armv7 or armeabi. I have succesfully created the image for i386. What type of arguments i need to use ?

yes, but I'm not sure on the specifics of how

I tried adding X_MODE_0 = 1280x768 below the [mac address] stanza for this machine, but it doesn't appear to do anything. If I specify the resolution, must I specify everything else, eg, modeline?
21:14
<vagrantc>
shouldn't have to
21:14
although you probably should use XRANDR_MODE_0 if your card supports xrandr
21:14
in fact, specifying the modeline is actually broken
21:16
<mip5>
ok - trying it now....

<mip5>
strangeness! Top 3/4 of screen are horizontal lines of the login page (4 overlapping copies), and the bottom 1/4 are vertical colored lines
21:21
tried XRANDR_MODE_0 = 1366x768, and got a different, but non-usable patter of horizontal mostly b&w lines, and color pattern in bottom 1/4 page
21:22
<vagrantc>
typing xrandr will give you a list of modes supported by your videocard/monitor
21:22
if you can get any modes working well enough to use
21:23
<mip5>
so - where should I type that - enable SCREEN_02=shell in lts.conf?
21:23
<vagrantc>
mip5: from an xterm on the thin client
21:23
<mip5>
ok
21:23
<vagrantc>
mip5: or can you get no useable modes at all?
21:24
<mip5>
at this point - no useable modes (but I'll change my lts.conf). I've got a widescreen monitor, and am trying to get the image less "stetched" - default res os 1024x768
21:25
<vagrantc>
but with 1024x768, you could use it enough to run xrandr from an xterm?
21:25
<mip5>
yes - i'll do that as soon as I can get back into the box
21:26
<vagrantc>
you might be able to run it from the a shell prompt by setting the correct DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY variables.
21:26
<mip5>
I think the problem is that I'm using vga, and can't seem to detect the monitor. hopefully running xrandr will get me there.
21:26
<vagrantc>
it'll tell you what it thinks will work
21:27
<mip5>
xrandr says: Failed to get size of gamma for output default. Screen 0: min 640x480, current 1024x768, maximum 1024x768

21:39
I.e. it's possible that using a very recent distro/version for your chroot, like e.g. ubuntu quantal, might make your clients graphics work much better (faster + correct aspect ratio)
21:41
<mip5>
Could I run 12.04 as my main OS, and have a chroot that's 12.10? Do you recommend moving everything to 12.10?
21:42
<alkisg>
Sure you could do that
21:42
<mip5>
Could you tell me how to build that chroot?
21:43
<alkisg>
I'm not sure yet that this will fix the problem... you'd need to verify that your graphics card is only supported properly in 3.3+ kernels before switching to 12.10 or other distros
21:43
I think ltsp-build-client --dist quantal or something likethat
21:43
<mip5>
okay - I do see lots of stuff regarding VESA in my Xorg.7.log

Well, I'll have to wait on this until tomorrow. I am not sure how to get a different driver into my chroot environment. Specifying different XRANDR_MODE_0 = only seems to work for 1024x 768, which is what's working on the default settings anyway. Thanks for your help though.

Hey Gang - I was trying to get my thin client to display 1366x768 resolution using xrandr, but failed.
22:48
I booted to a usb live disk of Mint14, and the 3.5 kernel does include drivers that work with the graphics card in this client
22:50
vagrantc: alkisg was helping me regarding this display issue. Turns out drivers in Mint14 (3.5 kernel) work with this Intel graphics card.
22:54
<vagrantc>
mint__: you might be able to just pull a backported kernel into your chroot...
22:55
<mint__>
not sure how to do that - add backports to sources.list in chroot, and apt-get install?
