Is it good practice to use a raspberry pi or beaglebone as thin clients?

pi is a bit slow, works as thin but without localapps. beaglebone is better.

What is good and cheap thin client hardware to run ubuntu and watching youtube videos?
07:12naboo has joined IRC (naboo!~naboo__@afla170.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl)
07:17
<alkisg>
!flash
07:17
<ltsp`>
flash: Yes, flash sucks. An HD full screen 30 fps video needs 2.5 Gbps bandwidth (1920×1080×4×30)! Make sure you have LDM_DIRECTX=True in your lts.conf file, or if it's just youtube you're after, try some flash replacing plugin like http://linterna-magica.nongnu.org
07:17
<alkisg>
In other words, plain thin clients are not suitable for youtube
07:18
You need to have the browser and flash working as a localapp
07:18
I can't suggest any specific thin clients as we're using desktop PCs as ltsp clients here, wait for other people's suggestions...

<wvsfxr>
I'm thinking about using ltsp at primary school. Youtube is really not a must have. I thought about it because it's the activity which uses the most resources. Moreover there are many useful educational sites unfortunately using flash. But this would not be a problem if there are good alternatives. Do you know some?
07:33
<alkisg>
Alternatives to what? Flash or LTSP?
07:34
<wvsfxr>
flash
07:34
<alkisg>
Primary schools need a lot of multimedia apps, so we suggest to them to use fat clients instead
07:34
(we == the greek schools support team, not the ltsp team)
07:34
!fatclients
07:34
<ltsp`>
fatclients: You may find some info about the Ubuntu/LTSP implementation of fat clients at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
07:34
<alkisg>
LTSP fat clients need to have the same specs as normal linux installations, e.g. about 1 gb RAM etc

What is the real benefit of ltsp?
09:16
<elias_a_>
Uhhh...
09:16
<DJUnreal>
what /isn't/ the benefit?
09:16
<Hyperbyte>
wvsfxr, depends on your use case.
09:17* DJUnreal can write you a list...
09:17
<elias_a_>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project
09:17
<Hyperbyte>
Luckily, you don't have to write a list, DJUnreal.
09:17
It is already written: http://www.ltsp.org/benefits/
09:17
<DJUnreal>
ahh
09:17
Thank You Hyperbyte
09:17
<Hyperbyte>
See that link, wvsfxr :)
09:17
Also, DJUnreal, don't be arrogant. There are lots of disadvantages to using LTSP.
09:19
It just depends heavily on your use case. There are use cases where LTSP is truly a gift from the heavens above, and there are use cases where you simply shouldn't desire to use a terminal server environment.
09:22* DJUnreal isn't being arrogant
09:27
<elias_a_>
In addition to that you might also want to consider the general suitability of client-server model in your case.
09:28
If you are running sw clients in workstations, forget thin clients.
09:35
<DJUnreal>
of course, there's always a suitability study to be done before rolling stuff out
09:36* DJUnreal needs to write some complex jiggery-pokery for his LTSP environment
09:36
<wvsfxr>
Does it make sence to use it for about 30 workstations. I wanted to use Ubuntu with Flash but now I would step back to trisquel with some lightweight graphical user interface. I want to reduce costs. Power consumption and maintainance are true benefits, but initial costs are to much. So I thought abou Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone. I've never used Beagle Bone. With Raspberry Pi I don't understand how to boot it for use with LTSP.
09:37
elias_a_, what are sw clients in workstations?
09:37
<DJUnreal>
ok... if you want to boot Pis from an LTSP server, you need to put a small image on the SD cards that can understand PXE (or an equivalent technology) for network booting
09:37
there are many howtos for that online
09:38
<elias_a_>
wvsfxr: Like Lotus Notes clients or the like.
09:38
<DJUnreal>
you'll also need an ARM build of your LTSP image

14:38
give me one minute, i've dealt with this before
14:38

14:39
<DJUnreal>
edit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

and add
14:39
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
14:39
<unkmar>
Cause it's just too hard to type both the O and K. :)
14:39

then restart both openbsd-inetd and tftpd-hpa
14:39* DJUnreal has this on debian and it works nicely
14:41

Thanks.
14:41
<DJUnreal>
reboot your server to confirm
14:41
<unkmar>
No. Clients are using it. :/
14:41
<DJUnreal>
ahh ok
14:41
well it /should/ work
14:42
schedule an out of hours reboot
14:42

can you not link a second nick to your nickserv identify list?
15:34
and set your client to use the second nick if the first is unavailable?
15:34

more like a 3rd or 4th or.. Well, I was just a going to investigate that.

changing nicks real quick.

identify and then /nick
15:43* DJUnreal has a question which some of you may be able to answer
15:44
<DJUnreal>
has anyone built a small kernel image
15:44
to hand out to pxe clients
15:44
which interrogates them for a few key bits of info
15:44
and then adds that to an lts.conf ?
15:46* DJUnreal has a specific reason for wanting to do this
15:47* unkmar has not done anything like that.
15:49
<DJUnreal>
basically... i often go places and have unknown machines provided for me to use as my thinclients
15:49
now i /could/ build a 'safe' image for all the clients
15:49
but it'll be so archaic that it's quite frankly a waste of computing resources to run it on newer and potentially fat clients
15:49
so instead what i want to do
15:50
is have the machine boot a small kernel
15:50
run some custom scripts (like one which interrogates /proc/cpuinfo to find out cpu architecture and speed)
15:50
and another to work out how much RAM the machine has, what gfx card it uses etc
15:50
<muppis>
Take a look at here. http://kernel-seeds.org/
15:51
<DJUnreal>
and then dump the outputs of that back into my dhcpd.conf and lts.conf files
15:51
followed by an automatic reboot
15:51
followed by coming back up with a now-identified-and-configured-mac-address
15:51
so probably needing a dhcpd restart in the process
15:52
<unkmar>
DJUnreal: sounds complicated. Creating a bitcoin farm? :P
15:52
<DJUnreal>
no
15:52* DJUnreal runs his LTSP environment for scout groups
15:52
<DJUnreal>
and we go to various different sites
15:52
<unkmar>
Cool
15:52
<DJUnreal>
with various different machines to use as clients
15:52
and we just rock up with our server stack
15:52
so rather than sending my boys round to write down all the MAC addresses and manually harvest all the info
15:53
i want to just get them to turn on PXE boot
15:53
and then have them automatically configure the image they're going to receive
15:53
the reason for graphics identification is because the kids tend to like to play flash games
15:53
which suck if you don't have proper drivers for the cards the machines have in them
15:54
plus... it looks far more professional if we're not sat there shouting MACs at each other or scribbling furiously on bits of paper
15:55
muppis: i'll take a look :)
15:55

16:04* DJUnreal doesn't do things by halves
16:04* DJUnreal would LOVE to replace the cyborg V7 with a S.T.R.I.K.E. 7
16:05

16:06
<unkmar>
Hmm why so colorful?
16:06
<DJUnreal>
the network I'm on there get upset if you idle
16:06
so names turn yellow after 20 mins
16:06
orange after 25
16:06
red after 30
16:06
text i send is white
16:06
text i see from others is yellow
16:07
emotive text is grey unless i send it in which case it's white
16:07
text containing my nick is dark cyan

16:08
if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. if it's not worth doing, give it to my brother
16:08
<unkmar>
LOL
16:08
<DJUnreal>
the person i suggest giving jobs to often changes
16:09
but the phrase tends to be fairly similar
16:09
but yeah
16:09
that's why i use LTSP
16:09
and that's why i need a base kernel i can get to do clever things
16:10* DJUnreal will put ssh keys in it for root, just so it can talk back to update the relevant files
16:10
<DJUnreal>
i'd rather my genesis kernel (name xCAT2 uses for its minikernel) talks back as root for a very short time, than my dhcpd.conf and lts.conf files be open to all users
16:11
especially if the minikernel can be locked down so it won't take any input at all
16:11
of course... i may have to do something a little more sophisticated
16:12
like script it to write to a different file
16:12
then have a cron that runs every 15 seconds to parse that other file, and if it changes, tack it onto the relevant part of dhcpd.conf and lts.conf and then restart dhcpd
16:12
wiping the file clean afterwards
16:13
but an ininterruptable autoscript kernel should do the job
16:13
uninterruptable even

Yes.
16:16

that was a VERY small-scale rig
16:16
nothing major... twin switches linked with 10Gbit fibre

About to push 5.4.5-20 release for EL6 to EPEL
16:45

ok, ltsp.org is back up
16:45
Enslaver: excellent!
16:45

thanks jammcq
16:46

The EL6 community seems to be getting bigger and bigger, i've had a few people come to me already wanting to help out with the development
16:46
<jammcq>
hmm, all I did was restart apache. I think I'll reboot the machine. our hosting provider was doing some maintenance last weekend and said we may need to reboot afterwards

if I can get the LTSP working here pretty well, I am gonna think about just replacing all of the workstations with those surfboards instead of new PC's
17:02
<Enslaver>
raspberry pi's are only $35
17:03
<digitalirony>
yeah, but they don't have built in keyboards....and believe it or not we spend a lot on keyboards
17:03
<Enslaver>
on keyboards?
17:03
keyboards are like $5
17:03
<digitalirony>
and I am not sure how easy it will be to get 100 raspbery pi's
17:03
right
17:04
but these asshat students here always kick the damn cables and fuck them up bad
17:04

hrmm jammcq I think website died again?

hrmm no, it just going slow

yeah, it's just dreadfully slow
17:11
<digitalirony>
do you guys need/want help with that?
17:14
<gvy>
jammcq, just in case, nginx as a reverse proxy helps immensely with reducing the number of almost idle apache children trinkling the already-generated content into slowish [mobile/dialup] clients

There are flags to add additional packages to the build, but I don't see a flag to block or remove packages.
19:56
<digitalirony>
wouldn't you have to modify the dhcp server to serv a different boot image based on the mac?
19:56
<lykwydchykyn>
I suppose I can chroot in and remove the pae kernel, but I'm trying to make this a hands-free rebuild

20:10

though really, juts build the chroot, then modify it as needed before building the image
20:11
<lykwydchykyn>
The thing is, I'm trying to script this to avoid errors.
20:11
<digitalirony>
I suggest you learn expect then
20:11
heh
20:11
<||cw>
you really need to run it more than once?
20:11
<digitalirony>
it will make it much easier
20:12
you can script it using expect

<||cw>
can't just apply the patches in the chroot?
20:14
<lykwydchykyn>
What I mean ||cw is that I have had to make so many changes to the chroot to fix problems over the years that remembering them all every time I rebuild the image is a mess.
20:14
What I do now is maintain a script that builds the image with all the fixes and tweaks in place.

20:15
<digitalirony>
well, why not make a script, and run it from inside of the chroot?
20:15
<lykwydchykyn>
Because not all the fixes are inside the chroot
20:16
<digitalirony>
well, maybe you need two scripts :/
20:16
<lykwydchykyn>
If I can have one, that's a lot better
20:16Enslaver has joined IRC (Enslaver!~Enslaver@fedora/Enslaver)
20:16
<lykwydchykyn>
Hence my initial question, which is hopefully answered by the --exclude switch
20:16
<digitalirony>
or like I said, you can learn expect, and you can pass 'focus' between threads and such
20:17
with expect, you could run your script outside of the chroot, and it would chroot, and still run commands, and send them to the chroot
20:17
<lykwydchykyn>
To a limited extent, I can already script things in the chroot from outside with ltsp-chroot
20:18
<digitalirony>
yeah, but I see your bug here
20:18
<||cw>
lykwydchykyn: can this not be solved simply by putting the non-pae kernel in the pxe config?
20:18
<digitalirony>
but the documentation seems limited
20:18
and as do your options
20:18
<||cw>
I'm not sure why the presense of a pae kernel would affect anything
20:18
<digitalirony>
thats what I was thinking too
20:18
but I just assumed it didn't work on the intel-m or something
20:19
<lykwydchykyn>
I suppose that might be an option.
20:19
<||cw>
well, it's a file setting there un-used
20:19
<digitalirony>
but as long as its not booted into it, I don't see why it matters?
20:19
as long as you set the non-pae to default/boot
20:19
<||cw>
you can have both kernels installed, and control what clients get what kernel in pxe
20:20
<digitalirony>
and you could even serv different pxe from your dhcp server based on mac address
20:20
<lykwydchykyn>
I don't really need any of them booting to a pae kernel
20:20
<digitalirony>
then just set them all to boot to non pae?
20:20
<lykwydchykyn>
I'll try that if the exclude thing doesn't work

20:24
/usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/020-kernel-selection supposedly selects the non-pae kernel...

yep, it says ok
20:32
I have the headers because I have some dkms packages
20:32
nvidia-current and the r8168 driver for some NICs
20:33
BTW --exclude did not work to prevent the pae kernel from installing
20:34
<alkisg>
It should default to the non-pae kernel anyway, so something else is probably wrong there
20:35
<digitalirony>
well, im going on break, good luck. I will be interested to see how this turns out though o.0
20:36
<alkisg>
Are you using --arch=i386?
20:36
<lykwydchykyn>
I hadn't specified, but the server is running 32bit
20:36
Can --arch specify pae or non-pae?
20:37
<alkisg>
Try with --arch=i386
20:38
I have a feeling that without that, ARCH is empty, and that's why the not pae kernel is not selected
20:38
<lykwydchykyn>
alrighty; it'll take a bit to rerun the script, we'll see
20:53
<alkisg>
DJUnreal: you can have pxelinux.cfg/default point to a non-pae 32 bit kernel with a customized initrd, that would contain an init-bottom script that detects what you want, and then `nc` the info back to your server, and reboot,
20:54
and an inetd-based daemon that gets the output of nc, and creates customized pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address files with all the needed info
20:54
<digitalirony>
does anyone know about modifying LDM themes/greeter?
20:54
I want to disable the 'preferences' button
20:54
<DJUnreal>
alkisg: that sounds about right
20:54
<alkisg>
DJUnreal: That way each client is only able to modify a single file under pxelinux.cfg/, they don't mess with your lts.conf or dhcpd.conf
20:55
All known clients boot with pxelinux.cfg/01-xxx, and all unknown with the generic kernel + initrd,
20:55
and you can add the lts.conf options you want in the kernel command line
20:56
digitalirony: all of it? or just the session and language bits?
20:56
(because the last 2 are configurable from lts.conf)

<digitalirony>
I just want to remove the ability for someone to change the preferences
20:57
my users are tarded, and I don't want them changing the backend, or session options
20:57
<alkisg>
LDM_FORCE_SESSION then, it hides that menu
20:58
<digitalirony>
sweet
20:58
<alkisg>
man lts.conf
20:58
<digitalirony>
is that documented?
20:58
<alkisg>
Yup
20:58
<digitalirony>
I didn't see that one there
20:58
just defualt
20:58
default
20:58
<DJUnreal>
alkisg: i need to keep this semi-idiot-friendly for my admins... hence wanting to update the lts.conf
20:58
<lykwydchykyn>
Ok, specifying the --arch didn't make any difference
20:58
<alkisg>
digitalirony: I updated the docs after 12.04, look in 12.10 or in wheezy docs
20:58
<DJUnreal>
it's bad enough having two .conf files for the i386 and amd64 archs
20:58
<digitalirony>
ahh ok
20:58
thanks
20:59
<lykwydchykyn>
I'm still getting only the pae kernel
21:00
<alkisg>
DJUnreal: you may put ltsp.like=section1,section2 entries in the kernel command line, so that lts.conf is used, without having the clients write to it
21:00
<digitalirony>
alkisg: it only hides the session menu though right?
21:00
<alkisg>
digitalirony: there's another one for the language, and I think there's something to hide the backend too
21:01
<DJUnreal>
ahh, i'm with you now
21:01
<digitalirony>
I was looking for one for the backend
21:01
language is fine
21:01
<alkisg>
lykwydchykyn: I'd consider that a bug... but no time to troubleshoot now
21:01
<digitalirony>
I don't see a force_server
21:01
<DJUnreal>
so i can pass the LIKE entries through the kernel options instead of in the file, but at the same time maintain the same ease of management
21:02
<alkisg>
digitalirony: LDM_FORCE_BACKEND, I don't know if that one is documented though
21:02
<digitalirony>
its an actual setting though?
21:03
do you know what the options/format is?
21:03
<alkisg>
ldm.c: /* if a backend is forced, leave no choice */
21:03
if (!getenv("LDM_FORCE_BACKEND")) {
21:03
<digitalirony>
sweet, thanks man
21:03* DJUnreal would assume alkisg knows the options/format since he wrote it?
21:03* DJUnreal grins
21:03
<alkisg>
DJUnreal: nah, I try to stay away from the ldm source code :)
21:04
I'm looking forward to the pam-based authentication plugin...
21:04
<DJUnreal>
try but fail?
21:04
<alkisg>
digitalirony: try "ssh" there
21:04
<digitalirony>
k
21:04
<alkisg>
Yeah a couple of times I had to dive into its source :D
21:04* DJUnreal laughs
21:05
<digitalirony>
is it a string?
21:05
like requires quotes?
21:05
meh, I will just try it
21:05
<alkisg>
LDM_FORCE_BACKEND=ssh or "ssh", lts.conf doesn't care about quotes or not
21:06
XRANDR_MODE_0=1024x768 or "1024x768", whatever you prefer
21:06
<DJUnreal>
it seems like lts.conf is indifferent to a lot of things
21:06
spaces, tabs, quotes...
21:07
all the usual stuff :)
21:07
<digitalirony>
just making sure :P
21:10
<lykwydchykyn>
alkisg: at what point in the boot process is it supposed to fall back to the non-pae kernel? I'm just wondering if my edits to the pxelinux.cfg file are affecting this feature.
21:11
<alkisg>
lykwydchykyn: well, you only have the -pae kernel, so pxelinux.cfg/default will only have that
21:11
If you had both kernels, then pxelinux.cfg/default would point to the non-pae one
21:11
And it's possible to autodetect the kernel to use with ifcpu64
21:12
The next thing to do is to run ltsp-build-client with debug output, to check why it doesn't install the non-pae kernel
21:12
<DJUnreal>
wait wait wait...
21:12
ifcpu64 detects cpu architecture?
21:12
<alkisg>
Yup, and can load 32bit/pae/64bit accordingly
21:13
<DJUnreal>
that's the single biggest thing i've been trying to achieve!!!
21:13
<alkisg>
ltsp supports that with ltsp-update-kernels.conf
21:13
...and with that, /me waves goodnight to all....
21:13
<DJUnreal>
thanks alkisg!
21:13
<lykwydchykyn>
thanks for the help

damn
21:17
the LDM_FORCE_SESSION doesn't work :/
21:17
<DJUnreal>
it should do
21:17
it did for me
21:17
<digitalirony>
maybe its my version
21:17
the force backend totally worked
21:18
<DJUnreal>
hrmm
21:18
what are you passing to ldm_force_session?
21:18
<digitalirony>
gnome-classic
21:19
as listed in /usr/share/xesssions/
21:19
its ubuntu 12.04 ltsp25
21:22
<DJUnreal>
i wonder if force_session only works on newer versions
21:26
<digitalirony>
thats what I was thinking
21:26
meh
21:26
when I go live with it, I will just run it off 12.10
21:27
i really would prefer it run off LTS though :/
21:27
<DJUnreal>
can you not install a newer ltsp on an older ubuntu?
21:28
<digitalirony>
not if you want it to be managed with apt I don't think
21:28
or getting really messy
21:28
if imma do that, I will just build it on arch o.0
21:29
<DJUnreal>
i see
21:29
or, if you felt like stabbing yourself repeatedly in the eye with a needle... you could do it on gentoo
21:29
<digitalirony>
noooo thanks
21:29
see, thats why I like arch lolol
21:29
its like gentoo + debian
21:30
<DJUnreal>
why not just make life easy and use debian like a sane person would? :P
21:30
<digitalirony>
it has all the flexibiltiy of gentoo, and much of the feel of debian
21:30
debian is too old sometimes
21:30
<DJUnreal>
too old for what?
21:30
<digitalirony>
new features
21:30
lol
21:30
<DJUnreal>
features like what?
21:31
<digitalirony>
I can't think anything off the top of my head, but I used debian for 8 years
21:31
and I have switched to arch, because on debian when I try to install something that isn't in the repos
21:31
I have a hell of time getting it to work with the old versions that are considered 'stable'
21:31
<DJUnreal>
and /that's/ why i use testing
21:32
<digitalirony>
have you never heard the joke " Yo mommas so old, Debian added her to the stable repository!"
21:32* lykwydchykyn LOLs
21:32
<digitalirony>
yeah, but then testing has its own issues too
21:32* DJUnreal hadn't heard that until now
21:32
<DJUnreal>
and i've never yet had a problem with debian testing :)
21:32
<digitalirony>
iunno, DJUnreal I had this same arguement with a friend of mine
21:33
then I actually just tried arch
21:33* DJUnreal grins
21:33
<digitalirony>
and now im good
21:33
lol
21:33
<DJUnreal>
i'm just working on personal experience
21:33
<digitalirony>
I know
21:33
<DJUnreal>
i've been using debian testing and the latest kernels for a while and it's never caused me issues :)
21:33
<digitalirony>
I said all the same things you did, but, sometimes you can't see the shit around you unless you look from outside
