humboltowhat is the best solution to get FAX support in ubuntu/edubuntu? faxing from each terminal, receiving fax in folders or via email, sending fax via email, ...?12:02
humboltois hylafax the standard?12:02
humboltoor is this going to be replaced by asterisk sooner or later?12:02
highvoltagehumbolto: I think asterisk offers some hylafax integration, but afaik asterisk isn't planning on creating it's own fax server software12:06
highvoltagehumbolto: other than that, I'm afraid I can't really answer your questions, for help on hylafax, you're likely to get the best answers from #ubuntu12:07

humboltohi ogra: my p133 thin clients are still a little slow even with 128mb ram. but mostly this concernes the logon procedure. the rest (except for video) is usable. the rest of my clients work like a charm!!!12:12
RichEdogra: hope you're okay ... lots of people picking up body bugs :(12:12
ogracbx33, sorry for yesterday, i had to stay in bed ... do you have time today ?12:12
ograRichEd, its ok ... i'm through the worst i think12:13
cbx33ogra: hey dude12:13
RichEdgood12:13
ograhumbolto, hey, great to hear !12:13
cbx33ogra: it's ok.....12:14
cbx33did you get my mail12:14
ograi agree that ldm needs some speedups, got that on my list for feisty<+112:14
ogra-<12:14
humboltoogra: the p133 client is only running some monitoring app anyway.12:14
ogracbx33, yep, just waeding through 900 mails here, i saw yours12:14
cbx33heh, ithink i sent several ;)12:14
cbx33even left you my mobile number ;)12:15
cbx33haha12:15
ograi saw two ...12:15
cbx33yeh that sounds about right12:15
cbx33so when were you thinking today?12:15
humboltoogra: as I said before, you guys are right at the beat of your users hearts!12:15
cbx33tbh you may need to take a look at the code before we chat12:15
cbx33see what I've done12:15
cbx33etc12:15
ogracbx33, i have a meeting at 12:00 UTC12:15
ograthat should last 1h i think12:16
humboltoI love this project!12:16
cbx33humbolto: heh12:16
cbx33so do we12:16
ogra:)12:16
cbx33ogra: I'm booked up till the 1st to work on TCM12:16
humboltothings like the student-control-panel are just so much what the users NEEED!12:17
cbx33so take your time, try it out....and give me some real BAM BAM BAM this is what I need12:17
cbx33hehe humbolto we're just talking about that12:17
humboltoYou guys are reading minds!12:17
cbx33it's called TCM now12:17
humboltoThinClientManager?12:17
cbx33indeed12:17
ogracbx33,your ssh questiojn:  while [ 0 ] ; do who; sleep 1; done12:18
cbx33woh woh woh :p12:18
ograimplement something like that into the backend ...12:18
cbx33well it's already a gobject timer12:18
ograi.e. --remote-userlist12:18
cbx33i can just change the frequency12:18
ograso the backend constantly throws out the userlist12:18
cbx33are you looking at the code?12:19
ograthen just connect the frontend permanently through the ssh tunnel12:19
ogranope, i'm still busy with my mail12:19
cbx33ah ok12:19
humboltoI have one question concerning the general edubuntu environment: What is the standard for FAX services in edubuntu?12:19
ograbut that thing above is what came to my mind when i read your question12:19
cbx33so is the frontend running on the server or the remote machine through ssh -x?12:19
cbx33or similar?12:19
ograkeep the connection open ...12:19
cbx33ahhh i see12:20
ograthe frontend runs on the client machine12:20
ograit execs: ssh -X scpuser@server scp-backend --constantly12:20
cbx33ok.....when you take a look at that, perhaps you could help advise me on it ;)12:20
cbx33yes i see now12:20
ograor something like thet12:20
ogra*that12:20
ograif you need more functions and want to fork off a second backend proicess that should work fine through the same tunnel through a socket12:21
cbx33I'm sure it would if I knew how to do it12:22
cbx33;)12:22
cbx33remember I'm still a n00b at some of this12:22
ograssh -X -S /tmp/.my-totally-cool-socket scpuser@server scp-backend --constantly12:24
RichEdping: ogra, rodarvus, willvdl - are we all available for our chat in 35 mins12:24
willvdlsure12:25
cbx33how do i then reference the socket in python?12:25
ogracbx33, now every command you use like: ssh -S /tmp/.my-totally-cool-socket server <command> will be execute3d through the socketz12:25
cbx33ahh i see12:25
cbx33dude you are a legend12:25
cbx33the things you teach me12:26
ogranot sure if there is qa direct python function, i must admit i never looked12:26
cbx33not needed if it works like you say there12:26
cbx33;)12:26
ograbut you can use a pipe from the subprocess modules12:26
ogra*module12:26
cbx33to get teh stdout12:26
cbx33?12:26
cbx33yes12:26
ograwell, a direct function is always preferred12:26
ograyeah12:27
cbx33of course12:27
ograRichEd, sure i am ...12:27
RichEdthankx ... that makes 2/4 and counting ... willvdl & rodarvus ??12:27

cbx33I have time to work on it tonight12:31
cbx33i don't want to waste it12:31
ograyep12:32
ograi'll look after t6he meeting12:32
cliebowogra:its working !!!!!!!!!12:32
cbx33ogra: thank you12:32
cbx33i really need this feedback12:32
cbx33to get tcm ready12:34
cbx33that will make the multiple server control done12:34
cbx33just need to implement the front end12:34
humboltoI know I need hylafax server (at least to receive faxes). do I need anz additional gnome components in order to be able to send faxes from EVERY app?12:35
cbx33oh ogra i looked at the printing stuff on ltsp.org it could do with some tweaking.....do we support usb printers over LTSP or just parallel. I know you said serial was a problem no?12:36
ograthere are surely some howtos how to set hylafax up as a cups network printer12:36
ograso you should only need to add it as a printer to get access from all apps12:37
ogracbx33, usb and parallel works fine12:37
ograand sbalneav has code for serial that he couldnbt test yet he said12:37
cbx33ok12:38
cbx33when defining in lts.conf12:38
cbx33I presume [ws001]  is the hostname of the workstation?12:38
cbx33as it doesn't say that anywhere12:38
cbx33if that is the case, how are hostnames assigned to workstations on ltsp?12:39
ograwe usually work with MAC adresses there12:39
cbx33ok so [00:00:00:00:00:00] 12:39
cbx33then the printer lconf options?12:40
ograyou have to set up a DNS server or to have a big dhcpd.conf if you use names ...12:40
ograright12:40
cbx33right awesome12:40
ogralook at the example lts.conf in the ltsp-client package12:40
cbx33that's cool12:40
cbx33I was checking outthe ltsp docs12:40
cbx33not very clear there12:40

paolobogra, I was wondering if in the edububut-desktop package is it worth to put all the graphic application witch on the client are very net-intensive... Using them on the client get the effect to almost freeze the server. Wouldn't it be better to let them as suggested?02:26

cbx33ok cool04:00
cbx33so have you tried it now?04:00
ogra_as long as it's not necessary to keep stuff confident we always should do it here, you know that04:01
ogra_sorry, no ... to much aside yet unpacking it04:01
cbx33do you think you could unpack it?04:02
paolobogra_, I've just reinstalled all the edubuntu server from zero, trying to remove the problem with the client that don't want mount the nfs. But everything is like before the reinstall: The first time I boot the clients, most of them boot up without problem, but if I switch them off and on again almost all have the nfs mount problem and don't boot. Now, till fifteen days ago all was ok, and now I have the problem. Couldn't be some package th04:02
paolobat has changed and a bug has entered?04:02
cbx33basically I would like you to see how it's working at the moment and then we can discuss it04:02
ogra_cbx33, ok04:02
ogra_whats scp-client vs scp-backend ?04:03
cbx33ah04:03
ogra_(i dont get the naming scheme, is that from the spec ?)04:03
cbx33scp-backend is the backend function for the SSH ing04:03
ogra_hmm04:03
cbx33and scp-client is the client daemon that starts up with the users session04:03
cbx33you wanted scp-backend to be student-control-pnel didn;'t you04:04
ogra_probably s/backend/remote04:04
cbx33ok04:04
cbx33that's cool04:04
ogra_well, the backend should become a python module eventually and get iuntegrated into python-ltsp04:04
cbx33can you see in the ltcm.py module04:04
ogra_but that will cover more than only the ssh stuff04:04
cbx33that's the one that does the cruft of he work04:04
cbx33backend is merely a gobject.option interface04:05
cbx33ltcm.py has all the functions and is the main importable module04:05
ogra_class backend is also a naming scheme we must change04:05
cbx33where?04:05
cbx33explain04:05
ogra_alwso dont forget that if you make it a python module it should include all the documentation in the code04:05
ogra_so the python builtin help function works04:05
cbx33ok...i can do that04:06
cbx33that's not a problem04:06
ogra_look at python-ltsp04:06
cbx33ok04:06
ogra_its very simple04:06
cbx33yeh yeh I was just going on functionality....sorry04:06
cbx33i normally document all code well now04:06
cbx33so...04:06
cbx33looking at ltcm.py04:06
cbx33can you see most function calls have a remote=False in the declaration line04:06
ogra_ def register_plugins(self): is a nono04:06
ogra_make itr a proper module and import it04:07
cbx33it's only two functions does it really need to be a module?04:07
ogra_the majoprity of poll_userlist should be in the module04:07
cbx33it is04:07
cbx33it's in ltcm.py04:07
ogra_same for proclist04:08
ogra_???04:08
cbx33ltcm.py is a module04:08
ogra_so ltcm should be tzhe module ?04:08
ogra_ah04:08
cbx33it IS the module04:08
cbx33student-control-panel is the real exe04:08
ogra_wasnt clear from the code, sorry04:08
cbx33no i know04:08
cbx33sorry ogra_04:08
cbx33next time I'll document better before we meet04:09
cbx33so...04:09
cbx33looking at ltcm.py04:09
cbx33can you see the remote=False in most function decs/04:09
cbx33?04:09
cbx33basically if that is an ip address, then it executes it as a remote call instaed of a local call04:09
ogra_dont make it a boolean then ;)04:10
cbx33and that ip address is set in the TCM front end pacakge04:10
ogra_either NONE or IP ;)04:10
cbx33heh04:10
cbx33sory yeh04:10
cbx33it used to be a flag04:10
cbx33your vnc function is a little b0rked04:10
cbx33and i wasn't quite sure how it worked....also I havn't done any of the password stuff04:11
ogra_a little ?04:11
ogra_heh04:11
ogra_its not even a prototype04:11
cbx33you said in the spec....that is was a fully working function04:11
cbx33:p04:11
ogra_yeah some SCP iterations ago04:11
cbx33grrr04:11
ogra_i will look into it ... subprocess should handle it fine04:12
cbx33anyway I havn't done any of the stuff for like the vnc password for the x11vnc...04:12
cbx33basically at the mo I'm passing a static password04:12
cbx33how is the x11vnc gonna be started?04:12
cbx33i was under the impression it would berunning all the time?04:12
cbx33only other way I can think of is for TCM to start it via dbus when it loads?04:13
ogra_we will start it from the ltsp-client initscript04:13
cbx33right04:13
ogra_so it will be running all the time04:13
cbx33so you were saying something about the password changing in the spec04:13
cbx33ok that's cool04:13
cbx33how is this gonna work?04:13
ogra_i have toi test that ... its three releases ago that i wrote that spec04:13
cbx33oh04:13
cbx33well x11vnc works fine ;)04:14
ogra_sorry but i cant goive you much of an answer about that right now without fiddling with it04:14
cbx33i don't know how you want to handle the passwords....can i leave hat to you?04:14
cbx33that's fine04:14
ogra_so04:14
cbx33basically it just uses a string04:14
ogra_remove register plugins function from ltcm first and make it a proper module04:15
ogra_how do you install it fromn the package ?04:15
ogra_it should use python-central for that04:15
cbx33install what?04:15
cbx33oh....04:15
ogra_well, the plugins should be registrered04:15
cbx33i just tweaked our last package04:15
cbx33oh the plugins nothing has changed since last SCP release04:16
cbx33they are just simple python scripts with a register function placed ina cetian directory04:16
cbx33it's still very primative04:16
ogra_ouch, then i missed that in the last package04:16
ogra_dont do that please ...04:16
cbx33ok04:16
ogra_see python-ltsp04:16
cbx33ok04:16
ogra_its still very enmpty, so it should be easy to copy from it04:17
cbx33ok04:17
cbx33sorry04:17
cbx33I didn't know04:17
ogra_what is thin-client-manager-backend apart from the modules ?04:17
cbx33nothing04:17
cbx33i didn;t know if I split it right04:17
ogra_then call it python-something04:17
cbx33ok04:18
ogra_to indicate its python modules04:18
ogra_the split looks ok to me for now04:18
cbx33ok04:18
cbx33now04:18
ogra_you will only really know it once somebody else used it ;)04:18
cbx33did you say that that is the setion that should be handled with python-central04:18
cbx33or is that just the plugins to tcm04:18
ogra_the python module stuff, yxes04:18
cbx33right ok04:19
cbx33I'll get python-ltsp04:19
cbx33and check that out04:19
cbx33ok what else04:19
ogra_users.conf ?04:19
ogra_does it need to be editable by an admin ?04:19
cbx33can be04:19
ogra_(whats the reason to put it to etc ?)04:19
cbx33but is mainly administered by TCM04:20
cbx33tre04:20
cbx33put it in home dir you think?04:20
ogra_(instead of /usr/share/...)04:20
ogra_no04:20
ogra_put it to /usr/share/python-modulename04:20
cbx33ok04:20
cbx33usr/share04:20
ogra_probably /usr/share/python-modulename/config/ or something such04:20
cbx33ok04:21
cbx33ok...i know you don't like the icons04:21
cbx33I'll sort those04:21
ogra_thats trivial04:21
cbx33anything else04:21
cbx33what else did i write in the email04:21
ogra_rfb is licensed properly ?04:22
cbx33rfb/vnc/crippled_des are from the RedHat guys04:22
ogra_seems like04:22
ogra_please mention it in debian/copyright04:22
cbx33who took it from py2swf?04:22
cbx33I will of course04:22
ogra_as well as yopurself04:22
ogra_and change my entry to "Canonical Ltd."04:22
ogra_EEEK04:23
cbx33ok04:23
cbx33what have I done now04:23
ogra_crippled_des.py isnt distributable04:23
cbx33oh shikes you're kidding04:23
ogra_please check the licenses carefully04:24
cbx33that's ok...surely if we use plain text to auth04:24
cbx33we can drop it04:24

ogra_the at&t part abopve is more worrying04:25
sbalneavMorning all!04:25
ogra_if we could drop it that would be very helpful04:25
ogra_hey sbalneav04:25
cbx33ogra_: I'll try and test04:25
ogra_it doesnt talk about rtedistibution at all04:26
cbx33i wonder how py2swf do it then?04:26
cbx33anyway...I'll try my best to drop that04:27
cbx33so....04:27
cbx33there is no regression, which I know you were scared about04:27
cbx33I know I've cocked up a lot04:27
cbx33but I will fix04:27
cbx33this is why i wanted to meet with you....to find out all the stupid things I've done04:27
cbx33and I'm thinking of putting the stuff i nthe package into two dirs04:28
cbx33backend, server and client04:28
cbx33three dirs04:28
ogra_note that i didnt build and run it yet ;)04:28
cbx33oh btw I just thought the dbus stuff and scp-client should go in backend04:29
ogra_but if it works for you it should also work here :)04:29
cbx33I know you didn't04:29
cbx33it works here04:29
cbx33but it is still flaky04:29
cbx33I'm not going to lie to you04:29
ogra_there was one bug about the userlist being broken, could you check to fix that as well ?04:29
cbx33my task in the next 3 days is to spruce it up04:29
cbx33oh?04:29
cbx33in edgy?04:29
cbx33i know of one bug04:29
cbx33but it's trivial to fix04:30
ogra_somehow all usernames starting with b are swallowed04:30
cbx33urk04:30
cbx33I will check that04:30
cbx33oh yes04:30
cbx33a few more things to check...04:30
cbx33teacherturns on remote desktop04:30
cbx33then runs TCM04:31
cbx33they then "basically" just use the dbus start program fro client exec routine to run the vncviewer04:31
cbx33to share their desktop in view only mode right?04:31
ogra_who is "they"04:31
cbx33teacher04:31
cbx33throgh a nice interface...bascially it just starts the vncviewer/or equiv on the client session04:32
ogra_why would they need dbus to start a loical vncviewer ?04:32
cbx33this is the sharing one04:32
cbx33Sharing Teachers Session - There will be the ability to allow students to watch a teachers desktop session.04:32
ogra_oh, right04:33
ogra_i didnt know we had kept that for feisty04:33
cbx33it's in the spec04:33
cbx33I think i've implemented everything except for the assistance applet04:33
ogra_well, we had a longish meeting in the beginning where we defined in and out features04:33
cbx33which was low anyway04:33
cbx33right....so....04:34
cbx33I'm pretty confident I can get most of that done tonight04:34
ogra_i thought assistance applet and share desktop were off the list04:34
cbx33the important code stuff anyway04:34
ogra_ok04:34
ogra_if its in its in :)04:34
cbx33i can drop it if you wish?04:34
ogra_nah04:34
cbx33assistance applet is on the wiki04:34
cbx33but I'm canning it for now04:34
cbx33too much implementation for now04:34
ogra_as long as a basically working version is in until FF04:34
cbx33SO!04:35
ogra_fixing bugs is for after FF04:35
cbx33if i get that done...04:35
ogra_as welll as polishing04:35
cbx33when can you fix up your vnc code and sort out testing for passwords etc04:35
ogra_this week04:35
cbx33you're sure?04:35
cbx33:p04:35
ogra_i have to hack a lot of ltsp stuff anyway, will do it in that session04:35
cbx33I'll try and get my stuff out the way ASAP04:35
cbx33will send you the dsc stuff04:35
cbx33then you can hack away and send it back to me once you're done04:36
ogra_there is nothing blocking me, dont rush, you did an awesome job yet04:36
cbx33then we can have one last meeting hack the end bits up and get it in for FF04:36
cbx33realy?04:36
cbx33but imade so many mistakes04:36
cbx33:(04:36
cbx33I'll try harder next time04:37
cbx33was a little pushed this time04:37
cbx33my last point if you have time... :p04:37
cbx33this book chapter....when will you be available to have a look at that?  Again I want to make sure it's right.  Some of the stuff I have had no experience in, and need you to double check04:38
cbx33that has a deadline for FF too04:38
cbx33and jono said it would be better to get it in eaarlier than later04:38
cbx33so I'm pretty much there04:38
ogra_send it to me ?04:38
cbx33ok04:38
cbx33I'll spruce tonight o nthe car journey...check that's ok with the editor and send it to you04:39

cbx33for the book?04:44
ogra_edgy-plusone-thinclient-sound -> output works fine, volume control works so far (needs some more gnome love), mic -> probs i havent solved yet04:44
ogra_so it will be in04:44
ogra_ltsp-management-gui -> python-ltsp is ready so far, no gui work done yet ... planning to do that next weekend04:45
cbx33ok04:45

cbx33cripes that'll be cutting it fine....I'l talk to my editor about ltsp-management-gui04:45
ogra_edubuntu-network-auth-server -> will change a bit ... and not be a metapackage but a installer integration for noiw04:46
cbx33I'm hoping she'll allow me to make changes after the first draft04:46
cbx33ogra_: ok cool....when will I be able to get testing/screenshots done for that?04:46
ogra_edubuntu-network-auth-client-> adding pam-ldap and pam-mount to the session should suffice04:46
ogra_short before UI freeze04:46
cbx33is that after FF?04:47
cbx33what date?04:47
ogra_ltsp-fat-clients-> derpends on edubuntu-network-auth-server we'll at least have a kiosk mode04:47

cbx33ogra_, one quick question06:12
ogra_shoot06:13
cbx33with the socket stuff06:13
cbx33do i have to keep the connection open with that --continuously thing we talked about earlier?06:13
cbx33or will ssh -S keep the socket open?06:13
ogra_the app needs to be run with an endless  while loop06:14
cbx33oh it does?06:14
cbx33and then seperate calls can be made to the app down the same socket?06:14
cbx33i see06:14
ogra_thats why i gave you rthe code for it, yes06:14
cbx33I have the code for the wocket stuff06:14
cbx33think you could drop me the code again for the loop you proposed?06:15
ogra_the socket is only used for the tunnel ... you can start any app you liek through it06:15
ogra_thart was only a shell exampole06:15
ogra_while [ 0 ] ; do who; sleep 1; done06:15
cbx33thanks dude06:15
cbx33and that will die gracefully when the ssh connection ends?06:16
ogra_instead of the who command you will indeed need to return the userlist to stdout or some such06:16
cbx33yes06:16
cbx33that's fine06:16
ogra_you could make it listen to stdin for a certain key to make sure the app finishes first06:16
cbx33ok06:17
ogra_but it should as well die with the ssh conn06:17
cbx33I'll do what I can06:17
cbx33starting work....now!06:17
ogra_great06:17
cbx33have emailed my editor about the book too06:17
cbx33hoping to get an answer soon06:17
