| |
| 08:27 | gbaman has left IRC (gbaman!~gbaman@82.113.183.37, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 08:40 | <alkisg> If you get root access in the fat clients, and run `poweroff -fp`, do they shut off?

| 08:44 | <monkwitdafunk> I think power management is independent from software. Power makes the cpu run with the operating system such as a dhcp server
| |
| 08:46 | Now curruption of a file server is the stability test which points you to if basic functions are done such as defrag. Reboot. Network.
| |
| 08:47 | One way to reboot is hotkeys if your keyboard isnt flashing
| |
| 08:47 | You might.want to program.your own as well
| |
| 08:48 | Idk if.you want to...
| |
| 08:49 | Curruption of filesystem*******
| |
| 08:51 | Yeah so with filesystems, you want them to be organized for you to operate
| |
| 08:51 | Unorganized systems can be a sign of malware
| |
| 08:55 | <matthias_android> alkisg: it depends on the computer. My laptop power off normaly but workstations remain on.
| |
| 08:56 | gbaman has joined IRC (gbaman!~gbaman@213.123.114.13) | |
| 09:17 | <alkisg> matthias_android: yes, it's probably a known ltsp bug, that's why I'm asking what happens when you issue that command
| |
| 09:18 | <matthias_android> Im not at school sry. But is that a fix?
| |
| 09:18 | <alkisg> No, it's a way to check that this is the bug that affects you. If it is, there are workarounds.
| |
| 09:29 | <matthias_android> Let me ask. If poweroff -pf works the bug affects me? What would be the workaround?

| 18:18 | <gp_> Is there a screen script for a web browser? I want one of my terminals to boot into a web browser that shows a specific web page

| 18:33 | <gp_> thank you alkisg looking at that now
| |
| 18:33 | <alkisg> gp_: in other words, there's a kiosk plugin, which usually works, but you might bump into some issues..
| |
| 18:33 | <gp_> oh
| |
| 18:34 | Can I not use a screen script? Like for some of my machines that use freerdp it just opens up to freerdp on Screen 6
| |
| 18:34 | I don't really want a kiosk
| |
| 18:35 | It is to show a status page on a monitor.
| |
| 18:35 | I was thinking I would target the machine by mac address and change the default screen
| |
| 18:38 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/RdesktopScreenScript says "This approach is obviously not limited to rdesktop" so I took that to mean I could do it with other programs

| 18:49 | <alkisg> gp_: the kiosk mode is a screen script that shows a browser, i.e. what you're asking for
| |
| 18:50 | <gp_> Oh. I misunderstood when you said it was a plugin that I needed to install
| |
| 18:50 | I actually see a kiosk screen script in my screen.d directory now that you mention it
| |
| 18:51 | Is there a documentation page for configuring it?
| |
| 18:52 | <alkisg> Documentation is really poor for the kiosk more... try some googling or read the script, maybe it has a few comments
| |
| 18:52 | <gp_> okay... will do. thanks for pointing me in the right direction
| |
| 18:57 | How does the xfreerdp script get around not requiring user permissions but the kiosk screen script requires me to create a user named "ltspkiosk"?
| |
| 18:57 | <alkisg> xfreerdp runs as root, while the browser is considered more sensitive and the devs decided to create a user there
| |
| 18:58 | <gp_> okay that makes sense
| |
| 18:58 | well it looks like firefox is installed an the kiosk script is there. going to give it a whirl
| |
| 19:00 | <alkisg> I think it also needs a window manager... devilspie or something
| |
| 19:00 | Or that's for making firefox fullscreen? I don't remember :)
| |
| 19:01 | <gp_> okay
| |
| 19:12 | client logs are stored on the server are they? just getting an error message on the monitor saying resolution out of range when I swap to the kiosk screen
| |
| 19:13 | <alkisg> No, that would be in the client's /var/log/Xorg.0.log
| |
| 19:14 | Or just get local X access and run xrandr...

| 21:00 | <gp_> So I am getting "fatal server error: Invalid argument for -config with elevated priviledges, the file specified with -config must be a relative path and must not contain any ".." elements. Using default xorg.conf search path.
| |
| 21:00 | xinit: unable to connect to X server: No such file or directory
| |
| 21:01 | a little confused. It doesn't seem to be the bug that you linked. And the ldm screen works
| |
| 21:12 | <alkisg> Sorry the bug link wasn't something that you needed to fix, it's already fix-released,
| |
| 21:13 | I just pointed to it because there's no documentation for kiosk, as a starting point to see where the scripts etc are,
| |
| 21:13 | <gp_> Ah gotcha
| |
| 21:13 | <alkisg> the xorg bug is another one, it needs an absolute path, you might need to edit the sources to solve it, I haven't checked the kiosk plugin

| 22:22 | <monkwitdafunk> Ask if the smart notebook can pxe boot or figure out a way to use it to serve dhcp
| |
| 22:23 | There are also other software designs controling hardware but im talking about booting over a network
| |
| 22:25 | Im not sure how ltsp controls hardware such as the dhcp server to be the memory of a thin client sound card
| |
| 22:27 | You dont need the internet to network boot
| |
| 22:27 | All you need is an ethernet cables NICs
| |
| 22:28 | Wouldnt that be sooo crazy for mass recording?
