Erik__: try booting your clients with a live usb stick, and press alt+ctrl+f1 to switch to the console, and see if it works. If it doesn't, it's a graphics driver issue unrelated to LTSP. If that's the case, you can then try a number of workarounds or alternate xorg versions.

<Erik__>
/msg alkisg thanks I will try. The weird part is.. If I load LDM on Screen_07 and menu on Screen_08 It works on the HP T610 too. But I want it as the default.
07:15
<gehidore>
was a good effort Erik__

<alkisg>
Erik__: try what I suggested, it's probably a graphics driver issue
07:32
<Erik__>
I will

<Erik__>
Hi Alkisg, we made a live usb. and with ctrl alt f1 we can access the terminal
08:08
<alkisg>
Erik__: and is it using the same kernel and xorg?
08:09
!nomodeset
08:09
<ltsp>
nomodeset: Unfortunately, Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) doesn't work well with some cards. To disable it, open /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default and replace "quiet splash" with "nomodeset".
08:09
<alkisg>
Erik__: can you try this, temporarily? ^
08:09
<Erik__>
Yes we will alkisg thanks in advance
08:10
<alkisg>
Also note down the kernel/xorg of (1) the ltsp image, and (2) the live cd. Put them to pastebin.
08:13
Erik__: btw, when you say "localboot", how do mean boot from local storage? How do you display a whiptail menu *before* booting from local storage?
08:14
<Erik__>
No we dont do localboot was a typo
08:14
I meant over local lan
08:16
<alkisg>
So you offer rdesktop and a full ltsp session? Why the menu then, if you have SCREEN_07 and SCREEN_08 in lts.conf?
08:16
<Erik__>
No that was just a test.
08:18* alkisg doesn't get what "boot over local lan" means... anyway
08:18
<Erik__>
We have 5 sites, if somebody works on a location other then its own we want them to rdesktop. If they are in their "home office" we want them to use ldm
08:18
<alkisg>
Why not use ldm and select the rdesktop session from there?
08:18
There's a menu inside ldm just for that
08:18
Preferences > Session
08:18
And you select rdesktop from there...
08:19
<Erik__>
Yes we understand that.. But we have elderly personnel and we want to reduce the clicking..
08:19
No offence..
08:20
<alkisg>
Of course none taken, don't worry about such things
08:20
Personally I don't like much the ldm design either :)
08:20
<Erik__>
Option could be to open that greeter in fullscreen. But its kinda hardcoded
08:22
is there a possibility to rebuild the gtk greeter in ldm to pop up the hosts before they enter their username and password?
08:22
<alkisg>
Sure, it's just code :)
08:22
Anything is possible
08:22
You can also set different default hosts per user
08:23
<Erik__>
Can we define this in Ldap?
08:24
we'll try the nomodeset now
08:24
<alkisg>
If you start writing code (or hire someone to do so), you can do anything you like
08:24
But currently what you're asking is not implemented
08:25
<Erik__>
Ok thank
08:25
s anyways.
08:29
Those are really good tips though. Well keep it in mind.
08:32
Alkisg you just won an award
08:32
person of the year.
08:32
Thanks!!
08:33
nomodeset was the key for the hp t610!

08:42
<Erik__>
Do you know why this changes the output? Whats the difference between nomodeset and quiet splash?
08:44
found it already
08:44
nomodeset - tells the kernel to not start video drivers until the system is up and running.
08:44
yes okay
08:47
<alkisg>
Erik__: nomodeset makes the performance much worse
08:48
It just verified that it's a graphics drivers issue
08:48
Now you need to find the proper combination of kernel/xorg that works

Yes indeed Video card driver issues
09:25
Screen also unknown in the booted image. We will indeed try to find the right set up from here. We will figgle around with the ati/amd hd 6300 first.

<vagrantc>
sbalneav: so, taking a look at the stack, pam-python is in debian already, libnss-external would need to be added ... and ideally we'd get lightdm-greeter-webkit2 still?
19:37
which also needs to be added
19:38
sbalneav: would it be too difficult to get both the libnss-extrafiles and libnss-external implemented?
19:38
we're too late to make the upcoming debian release for new packages, for the most part
19:39
i guess we can just rely on backports, when the time comes

we probably don't have the ability to get much in the way of code into the upcoming debian release, but the less we have to rely on backports, the better
