| 05:01 | <alkisg> vagrantc, if you happen to look at the logs, epoptes is ready for upload, I'm not planning to work on it anymore unless issues are discovered

| 08:04 | <alkisg> (10:58:57 πμ) alkisg: Hi CoYoTeNq_
| |
| 08:04 | <CoYoTeNq_> I have something interesting to share. My setup uses virtualbox and finally make it work sharing USB ports at hypervisor layer with thin clients
| |
| 08:05 | <alkisg> Vbox is running on the server or on the clients?
| |
| 08:05 | <CoYoTeNq_> who is in charge of wiki to see if this info is relevant and want to publish it?
| |
| 08:05 | <alkisg> And usb ports of the server or of the clients?
| |
| 08:06 | <CoYoTeNq_> Vbox in server, and share USB ports of thin clients with it
| |
| 08:06 | <alkisg> How, with ltspfs or do you mean something like usb over ip?
| |
| 08:07 | <CoYoTeNq_> all via rdesktop-vrdp (a modified vrdp client for virtualbox)
| |
| 08:07 | shure, but this way works really fast and stable, and is totally "plug and play"
| |
| 08:07 | <alkisg> Do you mean that you have windows running inside virtualbox on the ltsp server, and you're sharing the thin client usb ports with windows?
| |
| 08:08 | <CoYoTeNq_> exactly
| |
| 08:08 | <alkisg> Yeah sure that will interest people, document it in a wiki page
| |
| 08:11 | <CoYoTeNq_> ok! gonna do it. Is not a problem using licenced software (like windows or virtualbox)?? I don't know if this goes against any rule..
| |
| 08:12 | <alkisg> Of course not, documenting things is always good; if people buy or not the software isn't an issue
| |
| 08:13 | <CoYoTeNq_> ok great! thanks!
| |
| 08:14 | <alkisg> np, thank you too

| 17:08 | <dgroos> Hi all!
| |
| 17:09 | @alkisg, can you tell me how to start epoptes-client for the test you recommended yesterday?
| |
| 17:10 | I had no prob starting epoptes in terminal at the server

| 17:32 | <alkisg> dgroos: just open a terminal on the client and run /usr/sbin/epoptes-client
| |
| 17:34 | <dgroos> Can I due that via the epoptes execute/open terminal/user, locally?
| |
| 17:35 | need to make a local account (use AD binding and don't have a student account)
| |
| 17:45 | bb
| |
| 17:56 | <alkisg> dgroos: back
| |
| 17:56 | You should be able to do it with epoptes execute terminal, yes
| |
| 19:34 | bwicksall has joined IRC (bwicksall!~bwicksall@fw.pls-net.org) | |
| 19:35 | <bwicksall> Is there a way to prevent server cron jobs from showing up in fat clients? I notice any jobs I define for root on the server are appearing on the clients.

| 20:16 | lucascastro has joined IRC (lucascastro!~lucascast@189.90.45.62.jupiter.com.br) | |
| 20:24 | <dgroos> @alkisg, I tried to launch epoptes-client with User, locally, and there was no output.
| |
| 20:25 | lucascastro has left IRC (lucascastro!~lucascast@189.90.45.62.jupiter.com.br, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 20:26 | <dgroos> I tried launching epoptes-client w/Root, locally, and the console closed immediately and the icon in epoptes window disappeared and the client went black, only a small circle symbol rotating in the middle.
| |
| 20:26 | And with "root, remotely" no console appeared.

| 20:59 | <sutula> dgroos: Are you expecting to see the epoptes control window?
| |
| 21:12 | <dgroos> Back!
| |
| 21:13 | @sutula, when I launched the epoptes on the ltsp-pnp server, that's what I expected and what happened.
| |
| 21:13 | I really am not sure what to expect when launching epoptes-client.
| |
| 21:14 | I was surprised when, upon entering the command in the console, that the console closed immediately and the client disappeared from the epoptes window and the client screen went blank.
| |
| 21:15 | <sutula> I'm also experimenting as I type...I *think* the client may be intended to be launched on a machine that will then show up as a client on the console?
| |
| 21:16 | <dgroos> alkisg had suggested I try the approach of launching the epoptes and epoptes-client and see what is written there.
| |
| 21:16 | <sutula> On my LTSP setup, launching "epoptes" on the server shows all the clients, but assuming the clients are set up to run epoptes-client?
| |
| 21:17 | <dgroos> I had thought that the epoptes-client ran automatically on the clients as well, not that it was an app that needed to be launched.
| |
| 21:18 | <sutula> That (what you said) has been my experience.
| |
| 21:18 | I was trying to manually launch it on non-LTSP clients to see whether any magic happened.
| |
| 21:19 | <dgroos> Trying to find out why "broadcast screen" does not work, that was alkisg's idea to get info on that problem.
| |
| 21:19 | @sutula, thanks :-)
| |
| 21:19 | <sutula> sorry...
| |
| 21:20 | <dgroos> np!
| |
| 21:20 | I'll look around to get a deeper understanding what epoptes-client is/does.

| 21:24 | ricotz has left IRC (ricotz!~ricotz@ubuntu/member/ricotz, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 21:34 | <sutula> dgroos: Did eventually confirm that you can install -client on a random machine and have that machine show up on the epoptes server's application window.
| |
| 21:34 | I know that doesn't help your debug but I guess that's how it's supposed to work.
| |
| 21:34 | First run of the -client needs to be run with a -c option to fetch a certificate from the server.
| |
| 21:39 | <dgroos> @sutula, that relates to what I found on the -client manpage, mentioning the -c option but didn't explain the context when you would need the certificate. Now I know!

| 22:26 | <dgroos> @alkisg, (note to future) I think I figured out what you meant!

| 23:00 | <dgroos> I started epoptes on the terminal at the server. Then I used the epoptes tool: execute/root, locally and ran journalctl -u epoptes-client -f
| |
| 23:03 | Then, every time I tried to broadcast my screen from the server (using epoptes) to the client, I saw this message show up on the terminal:
| |
| 23:04 | "epoptes-client: 297: kill: No such process"
| |
| 23:05 | @alkisg, got to leave, will check back *tomorrow* :-) thanks!
