<bennabiy>
What is the best way to update the repo that build-client pulls from?
01:13
I want to update the ubuntu mirror

<fiesh_>
after upgrading the client system, glxinfo no longer works when run on the server, giving GLXBadContext. But client-local opengl works fine. Does anyone have a hint on how to find the issue? Nothing appears to be logged.
08:32
(software rendering via unsetting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT does work)
08:37
<alkisg>
fiesh_: "when run on the server" ==> do you mean when you are using a thin client and are connected to the server?
08:38
<fiesh_>
yes
08:38
I suppose it's an issue of an xorg driver having been updated
08:39
<alkisg>
Was opengl working for you previously? That's strange, which distro/version are you using?
08:39
<fiesh_>
yes, gentoo
08:39
<alkisg>
I don't think opengl over the network has been working for a long time...
08:39
Hmm, I wonder how gentoo was managing that
08:39
<fiesh_>
it all was fine, and I did a world update onnn the client image
08:39
opengl over network used to work perfectly fine here
08:39
we need it, we develop applications that use opengl ;)
08:40
but ok, I guess there's no easy way, so I'll restart from an older backup of the client's image and see which update breaks it
08:40
<alkisg>
I'm very curious on which versions that old system has, that makes it work without indirect/software rendering
08:40
For now, I'll assume that you had software rendering and you just didn't realize it
08:41
<fiesh_>
hah I would beg to differ
08:41
<alkisg>
I do hope you're right
08:41
<fiesh_>
I do know I'm right ;)
08:41
<alkisg>
And you're saying that this happened without you using http://www.virtualgl.org/ or anything, right?
08:41
Nor fat clients or localapps...
08:42
<fiesh_>
I installed virtualgl at some point, but then realized that it was the opposite of what I wanted -- rendering on the server's graphics card (which doesn't even exist)
08:43
<alkisg>
Right
08:43
<fiesh_>
so yes, it's simply setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT to 1 and having apps run on the server use their respective X displays glx implementation
08:43robb_nl has joined IRC (robb_nl!~robb_nl@ip-213-49-84-59.dsl.scarlet.be)
08:44
<fiesh_>
it worked so well that even playing quake3 was perfectly possible, however the game builds up some lag after a while
08:44
but applicationns like FreeCAD work very well
08:44
<alkisg>
What client cpu?
08:44
<fiesh_>
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-5010U CPU @ 2.10GHz
08:45
<alkisg>
That's good enough to do software rendering. OK, let me test `ssh -X server app`, it should do opengl if what you're saying is correct.
08:46
<fiesh_>
software rendering also works, obviously, but is slower by a factor of 10 or so
08:46
<alkisg>
When you revert to what you had working, please do paste the output of glxinfo
08:46
<fiesh_>
you cannot actually work with software rendering, which is why I need to fix this update issue
08:46
where shoudl I paste it?
08:46
I have it here, booted the backup image
08:46
<alkisg>
E.g. to pastebin or paste.debian.net, and then the link here
08:47
ssh -X from i915 to i915 gives me: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)
08:47
That's software rendering, isn't it?
08:47
<fiesh_>
http://pastebin.com/fQnmnvug
08:48
not sure what gallium was
08:48
<alkisg>
llvmpipe is software rendering, but you don't have that in your paste
08:48
What is localhost:17.0?
08:48
Are you using LDM_DIRECTX=True?
08:48
<fiesh_>
yes
08:49
at least it's in lts.conf, I hope it's respected
08:49
never actually checked
08:50
<alkisg>
I think with LDM_DIRECTX it would be localhost:0.0
08:50
!localxterm
08:50
<ltsp`>
localxterm: Any applications that you launch on a thin client actually runs on the server, not on the client itself. If you want to open a program on the client locally, you can type 'ltsp-localapps <program>' in a run dialog or in a terminal. For example, 'ltsp-localapps xterm' to open a terminal running on the client.
08:50
<alkisg>
Open a localxterm, then check /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_client_env
08:51
<fiesh_>
hmm that file doesn't exist for me
08:51
<alkisg>
If I set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, then I'm getting: X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
08:51
Is there a /var/cache/ltsp folder?
08:52
<fiesh_>
yeah, it contains the ltsp_config
08:52
<alkisg>
ltsp_config_env, sorry
08:52
<fiesh_>
which only has SERVER and NFS_SERVER set annd ignores all my other settings it seems
08:52
<alkisg>
Are your settings in /etc/lts.conf?
08:52
<fiesh_>
ah
08:52
hmm, there is no mention of LDM_DIRECTX in there
08:53
<alkisg>
You may also try `getltscfg -a`
08:53
<fiesh_>
which now proves my suspicions that the lts.conf was always ignored, haha
08:53
<alkisg>
It works in previous ltsp versions or if you're root, but not as user on newer ltsp versions
08:53
Hehe, that makes network traffic much slower
08:53vagrantc has left IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@unaffiliated/vagrantc, Quit: leaving)
08:55
<fiesh_>
hmm, the /etc/lts.conf is simply empty
08:55
I have my local lts.conf in /tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/lts.conf, is that incorrect?
08:55
<alkisg>
What is your chroot arch? i386?
08:55
<fiesh_>
x86_64
08:56
also, I use ipxe to load the kernel since i-forget-the-other-name never worked
08:57
<alkisg>
Do you have this in your chroot? /usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/05-getltsconffile
08:57
Are you using IPAPPEND 3?
08:58
<fiesh_>
yes to the first question, I don't know what IPAPPEND 3 is ;)
08:59
<alkisg>
fiesh_: since this is gentoo which I'm quite unfamiliar with, would you mind sharing your screen with me so that we debug this faster?
08:59
!vnc-dide
08:59
<ltsp`>
vnc-dide: To share your screen with me, run this: sudo apt-get --yes install x11vnc; x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr - this is a reverse connection, it doesn't need port forwarding etc.
09:00
<alkisg>
(replace the apt-get bit with something suitable for gentoo, of course)
09:00
<fiesh_>
ok, hold on, never used vnc in my life, I normally use shared tmux sessions and the likes.. give me a second
09:01
<alkisg>
fiesh_: ah, this will do as well, if you have socat/screen
09:01
No need for X then
09:01
!socat
09:01
<ltsp`>
socat: One way to share a console with a remote person is: [local pc] forward port 5500; apt-get install socat; socat tcp-listen:5500,keepalive=1 stdio,raw,echo=0 [remote pc] apt-get install socat screen; socat SYSTEM:"sleep 1; exec screen -xRR ra",pty,stderr tcp:REMOTE-IP:5500 & screen -l -S ra
09:01
<fiesh_>
hold on a second
09:01
<alkisg>
socat SYSTEM:"sleep 1; exec screen -xRR ra",pty,stderr tcp:81.186.20.0:5499 & screen -l -S ra
09:01
Whatever of those two suits you

<alkisg>
Hmm it might be related to systemd/logind not flagging the thin client session as active, and to changes to xorg that prevent drm from working on not active sessions

15:40
<bennabiy>
alkisg: thank you
15:42
EXTRA_MIRROR?
15:42
I would like to replace archive.ubuntu.com with a faster mirror
15:43
<alkisg>
plain mirror then
15:43
there's mirror, early_mirror, extra_mirror, you want the plain one
15:43
there's also a command line parameter for this, ltsp-build-client --extra-help shows it
15:48
<bennabiy>
that is what I could not remember... thank you
15:49
I could do MIRROR=.... ltsp-build-client
15:49
right?
15:50
<alkisg>
yup
15:50
You can also use the caching parameters
15:50
that store the .debs you download so that the next times it's very faster
15:50
<bennabiy>
good call
