| 11:56 | <larryni> Hi again. I'm trying to get our RPi thin clients back on the network. Been following http://cascadia.debian.net/trenza/Documentation/raspberrypi-ltsp-howto/ - but when building the image I get the error "chroot: failed to run command locale-gen"
| |
| 11:56 | Do I need to install something else in chroot?

| 12:27 | <work_alkisg> After if fails, can you run `ltsp-chroot -a armhf` and run that locale-gen command?
| |
| 12:28 | larryni: ^
| |
| 12:28 | work_alkisg is now known as alkisg | |
| 12:29 | <larryni> alkisg: I'm rebuilding the client now and then try your suggestion. Will let you know shortly.
| |
| 12:30 | <alkisg> larryni: btw, is that rpi or rpi2?
| |
| 12:30 | <larryni> rpi2
| |
| 12:30 | <alkisg> What is your server os?
| |
| 12:30 | <larryni> Ubuntu 14.04
| |
| 12:31 | <alkisg> You could also try with an ubuntu chroot instead of raspbian...
| |
| 12:34 | <larryni> But it's the arm client image that fails building. Why would you use Ubuntu chroot?
| |
| 12:35 | <alkisg> Why mix distributions when there's no reason to?
| |
| 12:36 | E.g. I would use lubuntu on the server, the i386 clients, and the armhf clients, all with the same interface
| |
| 12:36 | Or mate, or gnome-flashback
| |
| 12:38 | <larryni> Yeah, using gnome-flashback now as well. I was talking to my boss earlier and we will start swapping old thin clients to RPis over time anyway. So it won't really matter.
| |
| 12:39 | <alkisg> Won't you be using rpi2s as fat clients?
| |
| 12:39 | <larryni> No, thin clients only.
| |
| 12:40 | <alkisg> Yup then the interface will be the same, you'll only have different ltsp versions etc
| |
| 12:40 | Still no reason to mix distros, but whatever suits you
| |
| 12:40 | <larryni> We have several already which were on our old LTSP install - all running Berryterminal. But they stopped working after I upgraded the server.
| |
| 12:41 | <alkisg> That's probably due to incompatible ltsp versions
| |
| 12:41 | I.e. what you'll be doing now as well
| |
| 12:41 | Fortunately ltsp has been stable for a few years, so it should work for you...
| |
| 12:42 | (berryterminal had very old ltsp afaik)
| |
| 12:42 | <larryni> yeah, saw mentioned on here - that's why I followed the previous link

| 12:56 | <alkisg> andyc: I updated https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp#DNS_issues with a workaround for the ubuntu+dnsmasq bug that you experienced
| |
| 12:56 | I did that for you, no need to do anything....

| 13:04 | <alkisg> fnurl: what did we use for the rpi2 server? lubuntu 14.04?
| |
| 13:05 | * alkisg copies linux-image-raspi2 to the greek schools ppa, for 14.04... | |

| 19:09 | work_alkisg is now known as alkisg | |
| 19:11 | <alkisg> vagrantc: thin and fat clients know the ltsp server as "server". It would be nice if user sessions running on the server could also use that name for consistency.
| |
| 19:11 | People using dnsmasq can do it with: interface-name=server,lo
| |
| 19:12 | I'm going to put that in the greek version of /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/examples/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf, should I put it in the upstream version as well?
| |
| 19:12 | It doesn't hurt people that are not using dnsmasq...
| |
| 19:18 | <vagrantc> alkisg: seems fine
| |
| 19:18 | <alkisg> Cool, will do
| |
| 19:19 | <vagrantc> it's easy enough to comment out if it causes problems for some users
| |
| 19:21 | <alkisg> So far we've been instructing sysadmins here to use the hostname "server" for the ltsp server, to cover that ^ issue, and to cover the cups issue "servername doesn't match"
| |
| 19:21 | Now that we solved the cups issue in ltsp-client, we're finally free to name the ltsp servers however we want them :P)

| 20:18 | <workinonit> anyone successfully got VMWare View Client 3.5 working using LTSP on Ubuntu 14.04?
| |
| 20:18 | I used the --kiosk and I have managed to have the client show up on screen but no keyboard and mouse work
| |
| 20:19 | I think I need to start a window manager before starting the view client but I am not sure how
| |
| 20:20 | Maybe my question should be: How do I start a window manager like openbox?
| |
| 20:21 | or even metacity?
| |
| 20:21 | <vagrantc> kiosk should come with a window manager
| |
| 20:21 | <workinonit> ok
| |
| 20:22 | so the vmware view client launches but it is in a small window and keyboard doesn't seem to work and mouse is slow to work
| |
| 20:24 | what is the window manager in kiosk?
| |
| 20:25 | ricotz has left IRC (ricotz!~ricotz@ubuntu/member/ricotz, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 20:29 | <vagrantc> probably metacity if you went with the default
| |
| 20:30 | <workinonit> I went with the default and I double checked that metacity is installed on my chroot
| |
| 20:32 | I noticed that the screen.d/kiosk script is tailored more for web browsers but I assume it works with just about any executable as long as you have all the dependencies for that executable met
| |
| 20:32 | <vagrantc> yeah, should work with any application
| |
| 20:32 | <workinonit> ok
| |
| 20:32 | <vagrantc> workinonit: you've got this working on an Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop without using LTSP ?
| |
| 20:33 | <workinonit> yes
| |
| 20:33 | <vagrantc> workinonit: try running as a fatclient instead of using kiosk mode ...
| |
| 20:33 | <workinonit> I even had VMWare View client working when I made a chroot with --fat-client
| |
| 20:33 | <vagrantc> workinonit: comment out the SCREEN_XX=kiosk line, and set LTSP_FATCLIENT=true
| |
| 20:33 | hrm.
| |
| 20:34 | <workinonit> ok I will give that a shot... hang tight
| |
| 20:34 | * vagrantc shrugs | |
| 20:39 | <workinonit> ok it appears I can launch the client after adding LTSP_FATCLIENT=true to lts.conf
| |
| 20:40 | so then I just need to figure out how to launch the client fullscreen after login
