kgoetzi want to execute a script on logout. gdm has /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default, but is that file read by ltsp? i'm under the impression the ltsp stuff uses ldm (or something)12:54
kgoetzi ask because i want to remove a users home directory when they log out, and recreate it (its a public account)12:55
cstextilesCan we start vino-server for all the users by default?12:57

ograpisi_de, pong ?12:19
pisi_dejuliux here12:19
pisi_dewe have a sun ultra 60 and are trying to buld ltsp-client i386 on that machine12:20
pisi_debut it is still tryiong to build the sparc version, too12:20
pisi_dewe tried "--arch i386"12:21
ograi never tested on sparc ...12:21
pisi_deist there any config file for ltsp-build-client script?12:22
ograbut the arch code is built so that is will only build i386 on i386 or amd64 hw ...12:22
ograthere is stuff that needs to be executed in the chroot ... so you need a compatible arch12:22
ograi have a tarball with an edgy chroot ...12:23
ograif that helps ...12:23
pisi_dealso building on another machine and copying onto the sun?12:23
ograyou need to unpack it to /opt/ltsp/i386 and run the two ltsp-update-* commands (untested)12:23
pisi_deok12:24
ograindeed, you could also build from an i386 that you run from a liveCd, mount /opt/ltsp readwrite via nfs from the server and run ltsp-build-client there12:24
ograafterwards you always need to run the ltsp-update-* scripts ...12:25

juliux_ogra, my idea was to copy the ltsp chroot from my notebook via scp to the sun and then run ltsp-update12:27
ograthat might work too12:27
juliux_ok, we will test it;912:27
juliux_ogra, and pls mail me your postaddresse;)12:27
ograoh, crap, i forgot, sorry12:27

rodarvusI don't have sparc at home, unfortunately01:20
juliux_hehe01:20
rodarvus(I used to, a few years ago, though)01:20

juliux_ogra, we get an x on the thinclient;)01:31
juliux_ogra, but then the networkcard in the sun get a problem:(01:31
ograwhat kind of problem ?01:36
pisi_demaybe a faulty network card01:36
juliux_it is a hardware problem01:36
pisi_detrying other device01:36
juliux_ogra, but the ltsp was working01:37
ograyay01:37
juliux_after we fixed the nfs export;)01:37
ografixed ?01:38
juliux_yes there was no entry in the /etc/exports01:38
ograoh, right, ltsp-build-client sets the /etc/exports entry01:38
juliux_i copied the entry from my notebook and the the ltsp starts and we get an ldm login at the thinclient01:39

juliux_ogra, if we log in on the thinclient, x died and we get the ldm login screen again02:07
pisi_deby using metacity session instead of default gnome session we get only a black backround with white mouse, no menu. but X does not die02:15
=== caravena_ [n=caravena@186-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu
juliux_ogra, it is possible to start only a xterm on the thinclient and not a whole gnome desktop?02:25
=== caravena__ [n=caravena@198-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu
ogracreate an ~/.xsession :)02:32
ograbut first check in ~/.xsession-errors why the gnome session dies02:33

juliux_yes on the sun is gnome working well02:38
=== test [n=caravena@215-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu
juliux_ogra, that is the http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7534/ xession-erros file02:42
ograwhat makes you think its gnome-screensaver ?02:48
pisi_destarting only xterm02:49
pisi_deand after that te screensaver kills x02:50
ogra??02:50
pisi_destarting X with only xterm. then starting metacity, gnome-panel and gnome-screensaver in this order from the xterm02:50
pisi_demaybe the screensaver ist not the only application causing this problem, but it ist one of them02:51
ograhow is gnome-screensaver supposed to run without session dbus ?02:51
juliux_ahh02:52
ograyou need to run the complete session to test it ...02:52
ograwhich is a bit tricky, since if you have an ~/.xsession file that will override all other sessions if you just execute /etc/X11/Xsession02:53
juliux_ok02:53
juliux_so we should try to start every thing listed in /etc/X11/Xsession02:54
ograwell, it sources a lot of stuff from /etc/X11/Xsession.d02:54
juliux_i see02:55
ograprobably install xfce, then you can log in to that (it will show up in the session selector after installing it)02:55
juliux_thxs02:55
ograselect it, open an xterm there and try to run /etc/X11/Xsession ... (gnome will complain about a window manager running already)02:55
ograoh, i mean xfwm above02:55
ogranot xfce, no need for the whole desktop02:56
juliux_we will try that;)02:57

SpecIs anyone here going to UbuCon?06:46
Specwell, at any rate, i am...and i was asked to do a presentation/demo of edubuntu, any chance anyone here has any materials that would be useful presentation-wise?06:51
Specalso, can anyone point me to a list of changes edubuntu makes to standard-ltsp?06:52
highvoltageSpec: from LTSP version 5, Ubuntu's LTSP = LTSP.org06:53
Specmeh, i haven't used ltsp since...3? maybe 406:54
Specdoes it still use tftp?06:54
highvoltageit does indeed06:54
highvoltagejust to download the initial kernel though06:54
Specyeap06:55
Speci thought edubuntu was trying to implement security w/ ltsp?06:55
highvoltageit does06:55
Specin which ways has it changed since....two years ago? :P (if the list isn't too long)06:56
highvoltagehardware detection has greatly improved, it now uses debian's hardware detection scripts06:56
highvoltageit uses ssh to export the GUI now, instead of XDMCP06:56
Specah06:57
highvoltagethat's a big security boost06:57
highvoltagelots of extras have been added06:57
Specdoes it put applications on the thinclients?06:57
highvoltagesound is getting better on clients06:57
Specie: firefox06:57
highvoltageusb flash disks now automount on client06:57
highvoltagein the next version it would be possible06:57
Specsound has worked for years (for me), maybe i'm lucky06:57
highvoltageit has a dounside though06:57
Specwhat's it called to put an app on a thinclient?06:57
highvoltageyou can only currenly run all apps localy, or from the server06:58
highvoltagenot a mixture of the two06:58
highvoltage(but still diskless)06:58
Specyeah06:58
Specso either all or nothing?06:58
juliuxhi highvoltage06:58
highvoltagehi juliux06:58
juliuxhighvoltage, did you have the drupal theme tar allready done?06:58
highvoltageI have, can I email it to you?06:58
juliuxhighvoltage, yes you can06:59
Spechow easy is it to 'rebrand' edubuntu?07:00
highvoltagequite easy07:00
Specas simple as making a theme or is there a script for rebranding and/or a how-to?07:00
highvoltagethere's a how-to on remastering ubuntu CD's07:01
Specah, so it all applies to edubuntu just the same07:01
highvoltagebesides that you just have to make new usplash, gdm themes, etx07:01
highvoltageyep07:01
Specthere's another track on that i believe, so i'll only briefly mention it07:01
highvoltagejuliux: emailed. sorry, meant to send it sooner already.07:02
Speci wonder if i should make a oopresentation or not07:02
juliuxhighvoltage, it is ok07:02
