sbalneavEvening all02:14
ograsbalneav !02:17
sbalneavogra!02:17
sbalneavBurning the midnight oil?02:17
ograheh, a bit 02:17
sbalneavI was just going to address pitti round two, then start looking at ltsp-manager.02:17
ograwe need to change your naming in /media02:17
sbalneavSure, what would you like?02:18
ograogra2-cdrom wont be recognized by g-v-m02:18
ogramake it /media/ogra2/cdrom02:18
sbalneavOh!  Will it "see" into subdirectories?02:18
pygiogra, you have a sec for me?02:18
sbalneavSure, easy peasy.02:18
ograsbalneav, yup, totally02:18
ogra:)02:18
ograthen we have the right icons02:18
sbalneavgimme 5 five minutes.02:19
ograi'll have to rethink cdpinger02:19
ogra:/02:19
=== mhz is now known as mhz_off
ograsince ltspfsd constantly triggers CDROM.CDROM_DISC_STATUS  ... 02:19
sbalneavWant me to put some thought to that?  I had a couple of idears anyway.  I'll hash 'em out, try to get something something working.02:20
ograshouldnt be a big prob, i can check for CDROM_DISC_CHANGED02:20
ograbut now that i got the current code working some funnny things started to hapen, like nautilus popping up a window everytime ltspfsd triggers the cd02:21
ograpygi, yep02:21
pygiogra, why would I get "/usr/include/libburn/0/libburn/" instead of normal "/usr/include/libburn/libburn"?02:22
jsgotangcowow02:22
ographew, no idea02:22
jsgotangcoyou guys are still awake02:22
jsgotangcoheh02:22
pygiogra, this is bugging me :-/02:22
ograjsgotangco, hardly02:22
jsgotangcoyou're all supposed to sleep02:22
jsgotangco:D02:22
pygijsgotangco, 2:23 am02:22
jsgotangcoyeah02:22
ograhmm02:22
ograseems croatia is 1 munite ahead of me 02:23
pygijsgotangco, I can't sleep until I solve this, so ^_^02:23
ogra*minute02:23
jsgotangcoi hear ya i've been there02:23
pygiany solutions? 02:23
pygiogra, hehe :)02:23
ogranot really, find out why the 0 is added :)02:24
pygio joy, will bug someone else later then :)02:24
pygionce I wake up, I hope :P02:24
ograare you talking abou tthe package build or the compiler run ? 02:24
pygithis doesn't have anything to do with package02:25
ograok, so its the linking ...02:25
sbalneavogra: Do you want ltspmount to make the intermediate "/media/uid/" directory, or will the script do it?02:25
sbalneavno, wait, I have to do it02:26
sbalneavI'm the setuid one02:26
ograi'm fine leaving that to ltspmount02:26
ograyeah02:26
sbalneavk, 02:26
pygiogra, oki, thanks anyway ^_^02:26
sbalneavthat will take.... more than 5 minutes :(02:26
ograoh, right ... you need to add a lot of checks :(02:27
ograhmm, easy ... the cdpinger just needs a check if /dev/cdrom is in /proc/mounts 02:35
sbalneavsmart02:35
=== arkan0x [n=arkan0x@pc-6-76-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu
sbalneavogra: ok, got it.  Haven't addressed a couple of pitti's concern's yet, but It works for testing.  emailing....02:49
sbalneavsended02:50
ograhrm03:05
ogra/proc/mounts doesnt help 03:05
ograi should stop for today ...03:05
ograindeed it gets unmounted by ltspfsd 03:05
ograso it doesnt show up in /proc/mounts03:05
ograsbalneav, how do you work around that problem in lbus ? 03:06
sbalneavWell, in lbus, adding a cdrom doesn't actually do the mount.  When it detects MEDIA, then it does the mount.03:07
ograright03:07
ogracdpinger does the same03:07
sbalneavthen you keep checking media, and when the media goes away you unmount.03:07
ograhmm, i thought thats what i do as well03:08
sbalneavso all cdpinger needs to do, i figure, is just idle on a cdrom, and when you see media, add it to /tmp/fstab, and kick off the mount03:08
sbalneavSo the UDEV part shouldn't add anything to fstab, but rather, when you detect a cdrom device, launch a cdpinger for it.03:09
ograudev doesnt touch fstab 03:09
ogranot for cdroms03:09
ogracdpinger does everything cdrom related03:09
sbalneavsure it does.  you touch any block device, yes?03:09
ograhmm03:09
sbalneavor am I reading the rules wrong that keybuck gave us?03:10
ograno03:10
ograi'm wondering how to tell udev to exclude CDs here03:10
sbalneavso, isn't there a sysfs{removable} or something that could help us?03:10
ograintrestingly udev did never pick up my cd here03:10
sbalneavI can play with that here tonight.03:11
sbalneavget some sleep, or you'll fall over.03:11
sbalneavmail me what you've got so far, and I'll work with it.03:11
ograits currntly totally ripped apart 03:11
ograleave the cdpinger part to me ...03:11
sbalneavso?  I'm good at jigsaws!  tar it up, dude, I'm here to help!03:12
ograno, i mean the code is unusable atm03:13
ograits in the middle of a shuffle ...03:13
ograi'd like to keep the overview in that one ... but i'll package the other stuff now03:13
sbalneavok, well, I'll play around and see if I can come up with some ideas.  I was going to address pitti's concerns tonight as well.03:14
ograi think essentially ltspfsd shouldt unmount cdroms ...03:14
ogra*shouldnt03:14
sbalneavwell, that's easy enough03:14
ograits not needed03:14
sbalneavquick modify to /sbin/ltspfs_mount script.  03:15
ograthere will be no write operations unless we implemented burning over ltspfs ;)03:15
ograwhich i plan to do together with audiocd support 03:15
ograin edgy+n03:15
sbalneavah, well, that's for the next version.  By then we'll be all muekow, so it'll be easier.03:15
ograerm, if i modify the ltspfs_mount script that wont solve the frequent unmounting 03:17
sbalneavsorry, _umount03:18
sbalneav:)03:18
ogrameh, i'm really to tired 03:18

LaserJock /o\03:38
ograwhy does the drive ignore fcntl.ioctl(f, CDROM.CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0) if its mounted via ltspfs03:39
ograit works fine if i just fuse mount it03:39
sbalneavWell, the ltspfsd isn't doing anything with ioctls at all.  It simply reads files under a directory.03:41
ograbut apparently it blocks the tray03:41
ograi'm silly03:44
ograthe /sbin/ltspfs_mount script would indeed need the ioctl now ...03:47
sbalneavAh, so you need to mount it nolock?03:47
=== rodarvus [n=rodarvus@ubuntu/member/rodarvus] has joined #edubuntu
ogragot it, but it still doesnt unmount ...03:53
ograheh03:53
ograi really should go to sleep ...03:53
ograi just forbid ltspfsd to unmount cdroms ...03:53
ograindeed it cant unmount then :)03:54
ograsbalneav, http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/ltsp-localdev-scripts.tar.bz2 updated04:06
ogra(beware, the cdpinger is very noisy (but works))04:06
ograits missing a check if the cd is really mounted before running the unmount commands ... i'll jump on that tomorrow04:07

ogra_gnome-vfs just picks them up, regardless wher we mount them04:43
sbalneavEven in /tmp?04:43
ogra_i spent my morning with digging for the reason why i always had 2 cdroms on the desktop :)04:44
ogra_its likely a bug in gnome-vfs :)04:44
ogra_even in /tmp 04:44
ogra_or wherever you want04:44
sbalneavI'd say.  I thing we should bindmount to media, if for no other reason than that's the "proper" place to put them04:45
ogra_as long as the device is called cdrom04:45
ogra_sure, but currently you'll have to live with two desktop and device entries in nautilus then04:45
sbalneavGet the new ltspmount.c last night?  I was wearing out my usb port last night plugging and unplugging memory sticks.  Seems to work pretty schweeeet.04:46

ogra_using it ;)04:46
ogra_with the new cdpinger and ltspfsmounter (we need new names !) you now have the right icons on your desktop as well ;)04:47

ogra_which i dont have around here 04:48

ogra_i think it should work out of the box, but lest see04:50
ogra_*lets04:50
ogra_udev should handle it just fine 04:51

sbalneavyeah, the device node's being created, that much I know.04:51
ogra_then its also mounted04:51
ogra_but as soon as the label is used instead of the name floppy we wont get the right icon04:51
ogra_same prob as cdroms have 04:52
ogra_they need to be called cdrom in /media04:52

RichEdsbalneav: sort of the wrong channel for this question, but I see you are more active here than in #lstp at the moment. do you know the names of the fedora & debian & red hat people coming to the fest ?04:58
RichEdi'm motivating to mark to support my invitation :)04:59
sbalneavRichEd: heh, I'm in both.  You're talking the summit at jammcq's in September?04:59
sbalneavIs that the one you're taling about?  Or right now in LWCE?05:00
RichEdno ... i've been invited as an education observer to start some relationships - i'm the new Canonical Education Programme Manager ... and the fest is a good place to meet a whole bunch of people at once05:00
RichEdjammcq's yes ... and to meet Ogra as well :) we just know each other digitally and have not met as yet05:01
sbalneavAh, ok well....05:01
jsgotangcoRichEd: you're talking to the next-in line god of LTSP!05:01
jsgotangco:D05:01
=== jsgotangco hides
sbalneavFedora: Warren Togami, head of Fedora05:01
sbalneavDebian: vagrantc, hangs out in #ltsp all the time05:02
ograjsgotangco ++05:02
=== RichEd is humble and well aware of the impeccable credentials :)
=== jinty [n=jinty@121.Red-83-56-157.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu
sbalneavUbuntu: Ogra, teutonic Edubuntu warrior05:02
ograheh :)05:02
sbalneavand I think jammcq's gonna see if he can shame someone from SuSE into coming.05:03
sbalneavOn the LTSP side, we'll have jammcq, me, and gadi.05:03
=== ogra goes to swing his teutonic lawnmower for a moment now ...
RichEd+ Eric Harrison ... Eri & Jim & Oliver yourself are the primary reason to come05:03
RichEdthe rest are a bonus !05:04
sbalneavjsgotangco: next in line God?  Please, my proper title is demi-God :)05:04
jsgotangcoack!05:04
sbalneavAh, yes, Eric as well, how could I forget.05:04
=== jsgotangco begs for divine mercy
RichEdhope that's no relation to demi-Moore ;)05:04
sbalneavGranted, my child :)05:04
jsgotangcocome to where?05:05
RichEdWhat name does vagrantc go by when he walks the real world ?05:05
sbalneavIt should be awesome.05:06
sbalneavUmm, hold on lemme look05:06
RichEdAnd is the RedHat person a reality or a rumour at this stage ?05:06
RichEdOr is he bundled with Fedora ;)05:06
sbalneavVagrant Cascadian05:06
RichEdtx.05:06
sbalneavJammcq told me yesterday that it's confirmed that Warren's bought his plane ticket.05:07
jsgotangcoerr what's happening here?05:07
jsgotangcoLTSP sprint?05:07
RichEdyes jsgotangco : LTSP hack fest05:08
jsgotangcoor a bunch of gods that decided to go meet at mount olympus05:08
jsgotangcoand decide the fate of the world05:08
sbalneavIt is an effort to find a common ground amongst all distros, as to how LTSP should be implemented in a common way05:08
=== RichEd cuts & pastes that great 1 line summary into his motivation
sbalneavUbuntu's the first distro to implement the "muekow" spec we came up with, and vagrantc's moved it into debian.05:09
jsgotangcoyes so i iheard05:09
sbalneavThe trick will be to get the RPM world and the DEB world to agree on a common way (if possible) to do things, so that LTSP will simply be an installable package under any distro.05:10
RichEdany news on: <jammcq_laptop> and i'm hoping for a Novell guy ?05:11
RichEdthen i'll stop with the questions already and leave you to get back to work :)05:11
sbalneavUbuntu/Debian have the advantage that they've already DONE the heavy lifting, so I'm sort of hoping we can basically say "ok, lets look at Ubuntu/debian, and figure out how we do the same thing on Fedora/Redhat/Suse05:14
sbalneavRichEd: The novell thing we'll find out at some point today.05:14
RichEdschweet05:14
=== cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #edubuntu
jsgotangcothat's really really nice05:14
=== RichEd is most greatful for the info
jsgotangcograteful :D05:15
sbalneavIf we can get Fedora + Novell + Ubuntu + Debian at the same table, that's like, what, 90+% of all Linux's out there?05:15
=== jsgotangco orders RichEd to write it down 10 times on the board
RichEdgreatful = same as grateful, just a greater appreciation level ;)05:15
jsgotangcoyeah eventually, all the others will follow suit05:15
jsgotangcoFedora gets to go to RHEL05:16
sbalneavOnce you get it in Fedora, that means it's just a matter of time before it's in RHEL, and it's easy to port it to Mand[rake|riva] 05:16
jsgotangcoNovell, well goes to themselves05:16
sbalneavBasically, I see this as the summit where the future of thin client on Linux gets decided, and moves ahead to the next phase.05:17
sbalneavI've said this lots of times, and I'll say it again:05:17
sbalneavIf you're going to deploy Linux in any scale, at a business or a school:05:18
sbalneavThin client is the ONLY way to go.05:18
cbx33ping ogra 05:18
=== jsgotangco claps at the inspiring chat logs
sbalneavAnd if there's a good, stable, capable thin client implementation included in any distro, then that blows the whole thing right to the next level of awesomeissitude.05:19
jsgotangcosbalneav: i'll be doing a presentation in 2 weeks that can alter the LTSP landscape here05:19
jsgotangco*if* it gets implemented05:19
sbalneavDown in the Phillipines?05:19
jsgotangcoyeah05:19
sbalneavCool.  At schools?05:19

cbx33ogra, I'm going to have some time to work on scp tonight, if you get time, could you look at the code I did in my bzr branch, scp-client and scp-server run the server, then the client and see if that's what you were thinking of05:23

highvoltagewe've been getting more staff, which i though would mean less work for me, but it turns out handing over work and explaining things is a lot of work in itself09:22

LaserJockthat's kinda nasty09:29
LaserJockthe gdm theme is all nice brown, orange, and red09:29
LaserJockthen the gnome splash is green09:29
highvoltageheh09:30
highvoltageyeah, well...09:30
LaserJockthen the desktop is the chalkboard09:30
LaserJockwhich really isn't as bad as it could be09:30
LaserJockbut when you log in there is that time before the gnome splash starts where it just has a solid color09:30
highvoltageogra refered to it as being almost as bad as staring to the berlin wall09:30
highvoltageat least edgy should be much nicer, with lisa onboard and all09:31
LaserJockso the background goes form Ubuntu brown to green all of a sudden09:31

mhzthere is this teacher who prefers the Ubuntu bootsplash and the Ubuntu GDM defaults, instead the Edubuntu ones. He installed ubuntu-desktop (for such purpose), rebooted and still sees Edubuntu stuff. how is it possible to achieve what he wants?09:32
mhzhighvoltage: hi Mr. Volts09:32
highvoltagemhz: you have to apply update-alternatives to the bootsplash theme...erm... usplash theme, gdm theme, and desktop theme09:33
highvoltageLaserJock: or is there an easier way?09:33
LaserJockno, I think update-alternatives09:34
