15:12	<woernie_> hello, how can i use a local usb printer, I can connect on the printers on ltsp server
15:14	woernie has left IRC (woernie!~werner@p50867b7f.dip0.t-ipconnect.de, Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
15:16	<alkisg> woernie_: https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp.conf/ => CUPS_SERVER
15:49	<woernie_> is it possible to have both localhost & ltsp as cupsserver? now i only see the local usb printers
15:51	<alkisg> woernie_: no, only one cups server can be active. Otherwise, you'd need to forward the local printer to the server using p910nd, and then use just the server cups
15:52	Or, you could publish the server printers to the local network, so that the client will autodetect them
15:52	And at that case, you'd use only the local CUPS
15:53	<woernie_> thanks
15:53	<alkisg> np

16:50	<sfrank> Hello
16:50	i have a very silly question but in the case of a vm image used for clients, virtualbox must be installed on the server?
16:50	I ask this because my server is already running on virtualbox so it will force me to install a vm in a vm, can it work?
16:58	GodFather has joined IRC (GodFather!~rcc@wsip-66-210-242-210.ph.ph.cox.net)
17:02	<alkisg> sfrank: you can maintain the image in any way you want, no, virtualbox isn't necessary
17:02	E.g. you may boot it in your hypervisor when you want to maintain it
17:03	It can also reside on the hypervisor itself, and be mounted in /srv/ltsp/x86_64.img via nfs or sshfs
17:08	<sfrank> I'm not sure I expressed myself well or understood
17:09	<alkisg> What's your hypervisor, proxmox?
17:09	*sorry, windows?
17:09	Where are you running the "base" virtualbox?
17:10	<sfrank> my ltsp is installed on a virtualbox vm running on windows 10
17:11	<alkisg> OK. Let's take it slowly because I guess I wrote too much info in two sentences
17:11	First, are you sure you don't want to use the chrootless method?
17:20	<sfrank> no pb
17:22	yes the final objective is to use raspberries as a client but also can be old pc
17:22	<alkisg> Then chrootless is the best method
17:22	How old, are they going to be pentium 4's ?
17:22	32bit cpus?
17:23	<sfrank> yes crhootless is ok for me but impossible for raspb
17:24	32 bits and 64 bit are ok on chrootless
17:24	<alkisg> You need these two pages: (1) https://ltsp.org/docs/installation/ => chrootless, and (2) https://ltsp.org/docs/installation/raspios/
17:24	So, chrootless. I just tried it again today with an rpi3 computer lab.
17:25	The chrootless image will be used for PCs, and the raspios chroot for raspberries
17:25	<sfrank> chrootless run for raspberries ?
17:25	<alkisg> A chrootless server can also have chroots
17:25	If you follow these pages, you'll have TWO images
17:25	One chrootless for PCs, and one chroot for raspberries
17:25	I don't know how else to say it
17:25	<sfrank> sorry for my bad english, it's a shame
17:26	<alkisg> No worries, but note that I understood what you want, so go ahead and follow the advice, it's correct
17:27	<sfrank> oh yes i undertood this, your documentation it's good for me for the moment
17:28	but I wanted to test with an image on vm
17:28	<alkisg> Why?
17:28	Is it part of your assignment?
17:28	<sfrank> no just for testing
17:28	<alkisg> Your chrootless linux server will be running in virtualbox inside windows; why do you need another vm?
17:29	I think you should start with the easiest stuff before you try the harder ones
17:30	<sfrank> ok ! :)
17:31	I will try to mount a chroot for the raspberry then
17:33	I told myself that the images on vm would be easier to maintain
17:33	<alkisg> sfrank: the image will be in a vm
17:33	You will only have one vm, and it will be your image
17:33	mgariepy has left IRC (mgariepy!~mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy, Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
17:33	<alkisg> While raspberries are maintained by booting a client
17:33	NOT in a vm; because virtualbox can't boot raspberry pi os
17:33	Virtualbox isn't ARM architecture, it's x86
17:33	<sfrank> yes i know
17:34	<alkisg> Read the pages, you'll understand
17:36	<sfrank> thank you for your answer
17:36	<alkisg> np
17:36	<sfrank> have a good day
17:36	<alkisg> You too
17:36	<sfrank> see you later
