<cvillasboa>
good morning alkisg are you here?
14:34
<alkisg>
cvillasboa: hello; for a bit....
14:35
<cvillasboa>
it could be useful vnc-viewer for your connection?
14:35
<alkisg>
!vnc-dide
14:35
<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.
14:36
<cvillasboa>
ok
14:52
alkisg: I already have x11vnc installed, I understand that this command should be executed below x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr
14:53
<alkisg>
Indeed
14:53
<cvillasboa>
my query is where it should be executed, since my ltsp server is hosted in a virtualbox, inside my pc
14:54
Should I run it on my PC or in my VM?
14:56
<alkisg>
What does your pc run, linux?
14:57
<cvillasboa>
yes, Debian 9.3
14:57
<alkisg>
OK, run it there then
14:59
<cvillasboa>
perfect, we do it now or we leave it for the schedule that we established yesterday?
14:59
because now I have other tasks assigned
15:00
8:30 is equivalent to 13:30 in my country
15:01
<alkisg>
cvillasboa: 08:30 in the morning is night in your country :)
15:01
It was 10 hours ago
15:03
<cvillasboa>
I'm sorry, I thought you told me at 8:30 in the night of your country, I think there was a misunderstanding.
15:03
we can do it when you tell me
15:04
<alkisg>
(09:36:51 μμ) alkisg: cvillasboa: I'll be around 8:30 - 11:30 Greek timezone tomorrow
15:04
(09:37:06 μμ) alkisg: (morning)
15:04
cvillasboa: I need to go now, I don't think we can arrange a specific time due to big difference in our timezones
15:04
Just ping me and see when I'm available
15:11
<cvillasboa>
Okay, I'll do it, but I'd like to know what time it is there, according to Google, it's 6:00 PM, right?
15:12
6:11 PM
15:13
<alkisg>
Right
15:14
So 8:30 in the morning was 10 hours ago
15:20
<cvillasboa>
It really is difficult to establish a specific schedule because it is a big difference of time, it will be good to write to you when you are available nothing more, thanks for the help
15:37
alkisg: I have an idea, Monday in my country is a holiday, I could connect from my home to my personal computer according to their schedule, I have no problems to make an effort and be awake a couple of hours, the only problem I would have is to verify personally the thin client.
15:38
since I will not be at work
15:41
<alkisg>
cvillasboa: no need to make things difficult; I'm around some of your mornings, we can just use vnc and a vm client
15:41
It's just that your mornings are afternoons here, so I have 10 mins available, then 1 hour busy, then 10 mins available etc
15:46
<cvillasboa>
I understand you, let's see how it is presented tomorrow, to see if we achieve it

Eh, -r there isn't needed :D
17:47
<vagrantc>
heh
17:48
alkisg: so, i'm working on updating the maintainer addresses for ltsp related packages in debian ... set up a team at https://tracker.debian.org/teams/ltsp/
17:48
alkisg: don't know if you're up for subscribing
17:48
alkisg: although maybe you're subscribed to individual packages?
17:49
<alkisg>

18:13

vagrantc: back, checking the link...
18:14
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i tried adding you, don't know if it worked. sent a test mail just now
18:14
alkisg: er, a bit ago
18:15
<alkisg>
vagrantc: I think it worked; I'm having issues logging in though because of my expired alioth certificate

Trying...
18:16
<vagrantc>
alkisg: and alioth is gone, too
18:16
<alkisg>
Yeah, I tried to update it before it went down, and I couldn't
18:17
<vagrantc>
i think there's a big todo item about that general issue
18:18
<alkisg>
Heh, no user with that email given
18:18
I think that one was using my alkisg-guest@alioth email
18:18
<vagrantc>
yeah, that's no good anymore :)
18:18
<derick_>
vagrantc: alkisg: can I please get some help with my ltsp problem
18:19
<alkisg>
Oh well I'll wait a bit, I'm sure they'll solve it for all of us noob dms :D

<ltsp`>
derick_ ask: Don't ask to ask a question, simply ask it, and if someone knows the answer, they'll respond. Please hang around for at least a full hour after asking a question, as not everybody constantly monitors the channel.
18:20
<derick_>
vagrantc: I am unable to login with my user from ltsp client - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ue23MVEd9g&t=9s
18:20
made a video about it.
18:21
<vagrantc>
could you describe the issue, rather than just a video?
18:21
<derick_>
yes. I am able to boot from the client. but when I login it says public key denied
18:22
<alkisg>
Yey! After trying really really hard, I managed to read the email with the 3 lines saying "if you don't have an account, register" :P :D
18:24
vagrantc: I see that I can subscribe both to source or binary packages. If I only subscribe to source packages, do I get notifications for binary package bug reports?
18:24
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i thought bugs were a separate issue
18:25
<highvoltage>
vagrantc: hmm odd, ok yes please
18:25
<vagrantc>
highvoltage: jcc ?
18:25
<alkisg>
vagrantc: I'm not sure I understand what "subscribe to binary packaging" means then....
18:26
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i think it means package uploads ... e.g. you'll get a notice for every architecture when it completes building
18:27
<highvoltage>
vagrantc: yep
18:27
vagrantc: sorry been juggling a bunch of things the last two weeks so I got some wires crossed here and there
18:28
<vagrantc>
highvoltage: don't we all. :)
18:29
<derick_>
I would need help with this issue. I have ltsp-pnp setup on debian buster vagrant box
18:30
I am able to boot. but not able to login. It says public key denied
18:30
<alkisg>
vagrantc: do we need to do the same with "Debian Epoptes Maintainers"?
18:32
<vagrantc>
derick_: not sure how that would happen with ltsp-pnp...
18:32lucascastro has left IRC (lucascastro!~lucas@201.182.221.154, Remote host closed the connection)
18:33
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i think that's using the launchpad list ... which has other issues which arguably make it non-compliant ...
18:35
<alkisg>
How do you feel about MS aquiring github? More points for keeping ltsp in launchpad? :D
18:38
<vagrantc>
heh
18:44
<derick_>
vagrantc : okay, If I could get a little information on how ltsp users ssh keys. then maybe I will be able to solve this one
18:45
<vagrantc>
derick_: users don't typically use keys, but there should be a list of host keys in /etc/ltsp/ssh_known_hosts, if i'm remembering correctly
18:46
derick_: do you have lts.conf configured with SERVER= ?
18:46
derick_: in general, that should be unecessary, and sometimes breaks things like this
18:47kjackal has left IRC (kjackal!~quassel@50-201-118-110-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net, Remote host closed the connection)
18:47
<derick_>
vagrantc : okay, on my server there are only 2 files in /etc/ltsp ltsp-update-image.excludes update-kernels.conf
18:48
<vagrantc>
derick_: er, /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
18:48
derick_: also, lts.conf is typically served from tftp directory, not /etc anymore
18:49
<derick_>
vagrantc : there is no ssh_known_hosts in /etc/ssh maybe this is the issue
18:50
<vagrantc>
derick_: ltsp-update-image should run ltsp-update-sshkeys which should generate it
18:52
<derick_>
vagrantc : okay. I will try this. It takes a little bit time to update image. I hope I dont waste your much time

18:55
<vagrantc>
ugh.
18:55
basically, i'm confused how you created an image that boots without the ssh_known_hosts file ... but
18:55* vagrantc sighs

19:01
<derick_>
for some reason ssh_known_hosts is not created
19:02
vagrantc : I am following this -dashohoxha.fs.al/ltsp-pnp/
19:02
<alkisg>
epoptes_user5: hi
19:03
<derick_>
ltsp-pnp is setup on vagrant box so maybe there are some issues.
19:04
<epoptes_user5>
i was using epoptes normally , everything working perfect....until a blackout
19:04
now , all my configuration dissapear
19:04
<vagrantc>
derick_: i've never used vagrant, no idea what could be wrong
19:05
<alkisg>
epoptes_user5: do you mean ~/.config/epoptes/settings.json?
19:05
What do you have in that folder? Open them with an editor and see
19:05cvillasboa has left IRC (cvillasboa!c9d90c1a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.201.217.12.26, Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
19:07
<epoptes_user5>
in the epoptes folder , just 2 files (groups.json - settings)
19:08
<alkisg>
Do they have the data you're looking for?
19:08
Open them with gedit/pluma/vi something
19:08
<epoptes_user5>
just the default info , both
19:08
<vagrantc>
derick_: the instructions in the howto you're following seem a bit strange for configuring dnsmasq
19:09
derick_: not that that will solve your ssh key issue
19:09
derick_: does the server have /etc/ssh/ssh_host* ?
19:09
<alkisg>
epoptes_user5: So the problem is that you had settings in those files, then you had a blackout, and then they were re-created and you lost your settings?
19:10
<derick_>
vagrantc : yes, server has those
19:10
<epoptes_user5>
yes, and the new settings doesn't keep in
19:10
<vagrantc>
derick_: is ldm-server installed?
19:10
<alkisg>
epoptes_user5: maybe you run sudo epoptes and they were chowned to root? Can you modify them with gedit?
19:11
<vagrantc>
derick_: and you run ltsp-update-sshkeys ... and it doesn't create /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts ?
19:11
<derick_>
vagrantc : no its not installed. Is it really important?
19:11
<vagrantc>
derick_: ldm-server is pretty important for ldm clients to be able to log in, yes.
19:11
<derick_>
vagrantc : I used same step and am able to boot from ubuntu 14 trusty box
19:12
<vagrantc>
derick_: maybe ubuntu 14 trusty has some random packages installed that satisfy the very barebones minimal dependencies
19:12
<epoptes_user5>
both files had "644" permissions
19:12
<vagrantc>
derick_: you're probably missing a bunch of dependencies
19:12
derick_: which is why we have the ldm-server package
19:13
derick_: along with a few things that make session selection, language selection, etc. possible
19:13
<derick_>
vagrantc : okay. It is possible. I will install ldm-server.
19:13
<vagrantc>
though it should still generate ssh_known_hosts regardless, if the host keys are present
19:14
<derick_>
vagrant : will it solve the public key denied issue?
19:14
<vagrantc>
derick_: try it and find out ? :P
19:14
derick_: it might be a bad error message; something else might be wrong
19:15
<derick_>
I hope it works. Thank you
19:16
vagrantc : I still have 2 days to solve this. Or else I may on my gsoc project on ltsp.
19:18
<epoptes_user5>
#solved : chmod .....
19:18
thnx !!
19:20
<need_ltsp_help>
hello
19:22
when using a fat client, is proccessing done only on the client or on the server too?
19:25
<vagrantc>
fat clients run everything locally, though the home directories are mounted from the server
19:26
<alkisg>
epoptes_user5: it sounds like your ~/.config or other folder is broken, maybe owned by root.
19:26
find ~ -uid 0
19:27
<need_ltsp_help>

<vagrantc>
so glad i added support for lz4 compression ... "ltsp-update-image --cleanup --compression=lz4 /" is a bit larger resulting image, but *much* faster to build
21:21
e.g. 780MB image vs. 1040MB
21:23* vagrantc wonders if it's worth adding zstd too
21:24
<vagrantc>
0m18.476s with lz4 ... testing mksquashfs default (gzip?) ....

21:27
<vagrantc>
real 4m5.731s with default/gzip
21:27
that's worth 250MB of disk space
21:28
zstd apparently isn't yet available in mksquashfs (at least not the version in debian)

lz4 compression works perfectly :)
23:09
<vagrantc>
almost wonder if it shouldn't be the default...
23:11
<derick_>
yeah
23:13
<vagrantc>
it's over an order of magnitude faster for only 20-30% reduction in compression
23:13* vagrantc wonders how widely supported it is across distro versions
23:14
<vagrantc>
oh, it's not even an option for debian stable, without using a backports kernel
23:14
so let's leave the default as is ... but document lz4 support :)
23:15
<derick_>
I can test them on distro. If you want
23:17
<vagrantc>
should wait until buster releases, at least ... maybe longer
23:18
would be good to get CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZ4=y into all the distros now, though (and zstd too, if possible)
23:19
defaults should generally be the lowest common denominator
23:20
or a more complicated approach is to detect the combinations supported by the server and client, and enable selectively ... but probably not worth it
23:21
but the server needs support in mksquashfs, and the client needs support in the kernel
23:21
at minimum
23:24
<derick_>
vagrantc : I have installed ldm-server and updated the image.
23:24
there are significant improvments in UI of client. But still unable to boot
23:27
<vagrantc>
how can you see the UI if it can't boot? :P
23:27
!shell

I do not know about 'shell', but I do know about these similar topics: 'shell-screen', 'gnome-shell'

23:28
<vagrantc>
oh... i don't know about that one
23:28
that should really just tell you the line to add to lts.conf
23:29
<derick_>
vagrantc : Sorry I meant unable to login. I am able to boot :p

!learn shell-screen as to enable a root debug shell, add SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm to lts.conf

23:31

that's another option
23:32
<derick_>
okay. I will try these too.

you don't need to reboot to try any of those...
