| 07:49 | <gdi2k> Reposting: I am unable to make the LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS option in lts.conf work. I have created a directory on the server at /share to share some folders with all users. I added "LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS=/share" to lts.conf and rebooted the clients, but the share doesn't appear in the client's directory structure. We are using fat clients.
| |
| 08:03 | <muppis> Does that directory exists in fats as well?
| |
| 08:11 | <gdi2k> muppis, sorry, just saw your response. No, it only exists within the regular file system of the server, not inside the chroot
| |
| 08:11 | I was hoping not to have to place it inside chroot as I have the chroot on a space-constrained SSD
| |
| 08:12 | <alkisg> gdi2k: just as a mount point, not the contents
| |
| 08:12 | Just a mkdir inside the chroot
| |
| 08:14 | <gdi2k> ah, so the directory has to exist inside chroot, then it should work?
| |
| 08:14 | alkisg, ^
| |
| 08:14 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 08:14 | <gdi2k> alkisg, excellent, many thanks
| |
| 08:14 | will give it a go
| |
| 08:14 | <alkisg> gdi2k: you can probably also do that as a test:
| |
| 08:15 | RCFILE_01="mkdir /share"
| |
| 08:15 | So that it's created dynamically at boot
| |
| 08:15 | So that you don't have to run ltsp-update-image....
| |
| 08:15 | <gdi2k> alkisg, ah good idea, thank you

| 18:23 | <stgraber> vagrantc: heya
| |
| 18:24 | so apparently since my last merge, LTSP in Ubuntu is now trying to bring the entirety of mate into main :)
| |
| 18:24 | not really ideal
| |
| 18:24 | 18:12 < infinity> - gnome-session | x-session-manager | x-window-manager,
| |
| 18:24 | 18:12 < infinity> + mate-desktop-environment | gnome-session | x-session-manager | x-window-manager,
| |
| 18:24 | we'd need to re-order this in Ubuntu to favor gnome-session over mate-desktop-environment

| 18:54 | <vagrantc> stgraber: sure
| |
| 18:55 | stgraber: should be feasible with X-$VENDOR-Recommends/Depends
| |
| 18:57 | stgraber: what line would you like for ubuntu?
| |
| 18:58 | <stgraber> vagrantc: gnome-session | mate-desktop-environment | x-session-manager | x-window-manager,
| |
| 18:59 | <vagrantc> gnome-session? huh.
| |
| 19:00 | stgraber: for both ltsp-server-standalone and ldm-server ?
| |
| 19:03 | * work_alkisg has been using vagrantc's packaging in Ubuntu for 3 years without getting Mate pulled | |
| 19:03 | work_alkisg is now known as alkisg | |
| 19:04 | <vagrantc> stgraber: my suggestion would be this: http://paste.debian.net/260433/
| |
| 19:04 | <stgraber> seems fine to me
| |
| 19:04 | staffencasa_ has left IRC (staffencasa_!~staffenca@8-220.ptpg.oregonstate.edu, Read error: Connection reset by peer) | |
| 19:05 | <stgraber> alkisg: yeah, nobody's getting it pulled on their system but the ordering makes it try to promote the entirety of mate to main
| |
| 19:05 | <alkisg> vagrantc, stgraber, what about gnome-flashback?
| |
| 19:05 | <stgraber> alkisg: so what's on that line doesn't really matter so long as the first entry is in main
| |
| 19:05 | <alkisg> Shouldn't we propose flashback > mate > lxde > xfce > kde > unity > gnome3?
| |
| 19:05 | (the last 2 being 3d so only running over llvmpipe over the network)
| |
| 19:06 | <vagrantc> alkisg: those should all be covered with: | x-session-manager | x-window-manager
| |
| 19:06 | <alkisg> vagrantc: you prefer mate over flashback? why?
| |
| 19:06 | <vagrantc> haven't seen gnome3 work at all in quite some time.
| |
| 19:07 | <alkisg> It should work fine with llvmpipe... but slowly
| |
| 19:07 | <stgraber> we could, though as you've said, you never got mate pulled in onto your systems, so what's on the line doesn't really matter, we just need to make sure it doesn't start with universe packages otherwise it causes that http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.svg and people start yelling at me :)
| |
| 19:07 | <alkisg> Hmm, flashback's on universe too...
| |
| 19:07 | <vagrantc> alkisg: it doesn't work at all. it simply pops up a message: "OH Noes, Something went wrong!" ... which is allegedly cute, but definitely not helpful and kind of annoying.
| |
| 19:08 | <alkisg> vagrantc: did you try after the last unity patches I pushed?
| |
| 19:08 | <stgraber> for the depends to be resolvable we need one non-virtual entry which is in main, gnome-session qualifies, then the two x-* will catch everything else so people can install whatever they want
| |
| 19:08 | <alkisg> Unity wasn't working either, but I made it work about a couple of months ago
| |
| 19:08 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i've admittedly never tried unity, i'm talking about gnome3
| |
| 19:08 | <alkisg> vagrantc: the DESKTOP_SESSION etc might be needed in gnome3 as well
| |
| 19:09 | I.e. the patches might have fixed gnome3 too
| |
| 19:09 | <vagrantc> alkisg: https://bugs.debian.org/776746
| |
| 19:09 | <alkisg> vagrantc: llvmpipe does support compositing afaik
| |
| 19:09 | We're not using xvnc
| |
| 19:09 | I.e. that bug doesn't relate to ltsp
| |
| 19:10 | <vagrantc> alkisg: it's the same issue
| |
| 19:10 | <alkisg> No, it isn't afaik
| |
| 19:10 | compositing != hw acceleration
| |
| 19:10 | You can have software compositing even over the network, that's how unity works in thin clients...
| |
| 19:11 | <vagrantc> i'd be happy to be proved wrong and see gnome3 working again
| |
| 19:11 | <alkisg> Did you try the latest ldm patches?
| |
| 19:12 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ldm-trunk/revision/1577 and r2646 from ltsp
| |
| 19:12 | * vagrantc checks for updates | |
| 19:13 | <vagrantc> probably time i push new ldm/ltsp to debian...
| |
| 19:13 | though i am kind of swamped for the next couple weeks
| |
| 19:13 | <alkisg> We can work over IRC at debcamp if you want
| |
| 19:13 | And iron out any Ubuntu issues left as well, with systemd in 15.10 etc
| |
| 19:14 | staffencasa has joined IRC (staffencasa!~staffenca@8-220.ptpg.oregonstate.edu) | |
| 19:14 | <vagrantc> that'd be good
| |
| 19:15 | which is getting to be not nearly as far off anymore...
| |
| 19:15 | <alkisg> Yup, thanks stgraber for that :)
| |
| 19:16 | * vagrantc meant timeframe till debcamp | |
| 19:16 | <alkisg> Haha, sorry I thought you meant the ubuntu diff
| |
| 19:16 | * alkisg isn't sure about which DE we're proposing for LTSP though... mate? flashback? lxde? | |
| 19:17 | <alkisg> Technically I would vote for flashback since it's close to upstream gnome, but it's not actively maintained :-/
| |
| 19:18 | There are many more people working on mate..
| |
| 19:18 | <stgraber> Edubuntu is sticking to flashback for now, though we're not releasing until April 2016, we may consider mate too at that point now that there is an Ubuntu flavour for it and we wouldn't be the ones having to maintain it for 5 years
| |
| 19:19 | * alkisg has been following the edubuntu selection since Ubuntu 7.xx for the greek schools... | |
| 19:20 | * highvoltage thinks moving to mate might be better than moving to unity 8 | |
| 19:20 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i don't think it's LTSP's place to propose a desktop environment
| |
| 19:20 | <alkisg> highvoltage, I think for 16.04 we'd need to select between flashback, mate, lxde, xfce...
| |
| 19:20 | <stgraber> highvoltage: right, but unity8 won't be a problem until 18.04 anyway
| |
| 19:21 | <vagrantc> ideally, any desktop environment shoul work, some are more LTSP-freindly than others
| |
| 19:21 | <highvoltage> lxde and xfce are also nice in that they would not only work well for thin clients, but also on fat clients with (relatively) low memory
| |
| 19:21 | <vagrantc> ltsp is the technology by which a desktop is delivered...
| |
| 19:22 | <highvoltage> (although it's really the web browsers that are problems these days (or at least, web pages that import huge amount of javascript that comsume several hundreds of megabytes of ram))
| |
| 19:22 | <alkisg> vagrantc: only a few developers are using ltsp, so if e.g. people are using mate and can't get around e.g. the "my screen was locked and I can't unlock it" issue, then we should be telling them that we're shipping gconf settings for screen locking *only* for flashback...
| |
| 19:23 | <vagrantc> we've desperately got to move away from LDM...
| |
| 19:23 | <alkisg> We can't tell them "use whatever you want" when that DE is not usable at all because no ltsp developer is using it
| |
| 19:23 | <highvoltage> alkisg: so basically, there should be at least one option that's known to work well
| |
| 19:23 | <alkisg> Right
| |
| 19:23 | <vagrantc> highvoltage: yes, that's the perspective i'm fine with
| |
| 19:24 | but in general, i strive to make several workable options.
| |
| 19:24 | i've mostly worked with mate and lxde at this point
| |
| 19:25 | mate still has the advantage of localdev's being integrated better
| |
| 19:25 | (which it inherrited from gnome2)
| |
| 19:25 | <alkisg> Our gsettings don't work there though
| |
| 19:26 | <vagrantc> it seems like there's a matrix of support features
| |

| 19:26 | <alkisg> The biggest problem I have currently is this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1321922
| |
| 19:27 | It affects Ubuntu 14.04+, and it should be there on debian stable as well
| |
| 19:27 | That's one of the major things keeping us in 12.04
| |
| 19:28 | So, a user opens e.g. google-chrome, which tries to invoke gnome-keyring, and boom, gigabytes of sshfs traffic and disk full and 100% cpu
| |
| 19:28 | <vagrantc> that's pretty ugly
| |
| 19:28 | <alkisg> The workaround is to use nfs home... I've switched schools here to sshfs in 12.04, but I regretted it
| |
| 19:35 | <highvoltage> vagrantc: yeah a wiki page with such a matrix would be nice
| |
| 19:36 | * vagrantc is going to be doing a big real-world LTSP project soonish... | |
| 19:36 | <vagrantc> i've mostly been working with virtual machines for the last few years...
| |
| 19:36 | so i'll probably start running into all these real-world problems again

| 19:42 | <vagrantc> alkisg: the change to the ldm clock format, while good, doesn't implement any backwards compatibility...
| |
| 19:43 | <alkisg> vagrantc: backwards for LDM_12HOURCLOCK?
| |
| 19:43 | Was anyone actually using that? :)
| |
| 19:44 | (it was undocumented)
| |
| 19:44 | AlexPortable has left IRC (AlexPortable!uid7568@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-dcxrszldvbyhgaxc, Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) | |
| 19:44 | * vagrantc always thought it was a stupid configuration option, but someone *might* be using it | |
| 19:44 | <alkisg> vagrantc: google has 2 pages on it, and are all just plain code
| |
| 19:45 | Noone has ever talked about it in the web at least
| |
| 19:45 | <vagrantc> could be lots of perfectly happy users :)
| |
| 19:46 | <alkisg> Haha
| |
| 19:47 | <vagrantc> i think there was an insistance at some point in time to only use true/false settings, and not confusing things like formatted strings.
| |
| 19:48 | there are some thngs for which that just becomes absurd, though.

| 19:51 | * alkisg prefers following already established examples | |
| 19:51 | <alkisg> E.g. many panels like gnome-panel use a format string for their dates
| |
| 19:52 | And it does make sense to use the current locale for the date (embedded in the format string) as the default

| 19:54 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i'm not of the true/false only camp. :)
| |
| 19:54 | <alkisg> :)
| |
| 19:55 | <vagrantc> but i am of a backwards compatibilit camp. perhaps this is obscure enough that a note in the changelog will be sufficient, especially if it lands in ltsp-docs
| |
| 19:56 | if the new variable lands in ltsp-docs
| |
| 19:56 | <alkisg> There was never any mention about it in ltsp-docs
| |
| 19:56 | Ah
| |
| 19:56 | <vagrantc> which... hasn't really been updated for ages
| |
| 19:56 | <alkisg> Yeah, that would be nice
| |
| 19:56 | Well, in ltsp6 we'll have the lts.conf manpage automatically generated from the source code :P
| |
| 19:57 | <vagrantc> haven't made an upload since debian wheezy...
| |
| 19:57 | <alkisg> doxygen-style...
| |
| 19:57 | <vagrantc> and there will only be a single project?
| |
| 19:57 | <alkisg> I'd prefer it... much simpler
| |
| 19:57 | <vagrantc> i.e. now we have ltsp, ldm and ltspfs, at least...

| 19:58 | <alkisg> Maybe at some point we can switch to sshfs instead of ltspfs
| |
| 19:59 | * vagrantc wonders if we shouldn't just look into using existing authentication schemes instead of libpam-sshauth | |
| 19:59 | <vagrantc> and still figure out some way to pull off our magic tricks.
| |
| 19:59 | <alkisg> I'd prefer that too
| |
| 20:00 | IMHO LTSP should be about configuring other projects so that they do what we want... not about developing our own solutions unless it's absolutely necessary

| 22:57 | <mnevans> Hello LTSP World. I've just updated from Debian/Wheezy to Jessie, and I've lost ability to login via thin clients: for a mate desktop, I get as far as the spinning wheel after giving logon credentials.
| |
| 22:59 | <vagrantc> fat or thin clients?
| |
| 22:59 | <mnevans> mnevan646G&7thHello vagrantc. Thin clients.
| |
| 23:00 | <vagrantc> any useful information in the user's ~/.xsession-errors file?
| |
| 23:00 | processes running as the user on the server?
| |
| 23:00 | mnevans: did you upgrade both the server and the LTSP chroot?
| |
| 23:01 | <mnevans> Thank you, yes. I did ltsp-chroot, then edited /etc/apt/sources.list, then exit; ltsp-chroot; apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

| 23:02 | gdi2k has joined IRC (gdi2k!~gdi2k@180.190.64.126) | |
| 23:03 | <mnevans> I just tried with gnome
| |
| 23:04 | <vagrantc> gnome is almost certainly not going to work on thin clients
| |
| 23:04 | <mnevans> -flashback, and it seems to be working.
| |
| 23:04 | <vagrantc> ah, ok.
| |
| 23:05 | <mnevans> excetp I am getting an authentication request that won't quit. I think this is something else, maybe an x2goclient session... lemme see...
| |
| 23:06 | the authentication problem appears to be with org,freedesktop.packagekit.system-network-proxy-configure

| |
| 23:10 | Sorry please ignore
| |
| 23:11 | too many pots boiling
| |
| 23:13 | No, I am still having this 'authentication is required to set the networtk proxy used for downloading software' popup. The action is 'org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-network-proxy-configure'
| |
| 23:13 | vendor is ''the packagekit project'
| |
| 23:16 | OK - so with a mate login, I get the spinning circle. With a gnome-flashback login, I get the authentication request that won't quit. Could this be some bad interaction
| |
| 23:17 | of old /home/user/.gnome/* files or settings with the new jessie install?

| 23:30 | ah, crap, I'm on my own here... thanks for your help though!
| |
| 23:34 | ...strangely - a few more reboots of the thin client seem to have fixed the problem...
