joebob777as7why does it take so long to build-client in edubuntu gutsy?07:33
LaserJockwhat do you mean?07:44
LaserJockin general or at installation?07:44
joebob777as7in general. I updated from feisty07:45
joebob777as7also i was wondering how i control which apps are installed on each thin-client?07:46
kgoetzarnt the same apps installed everyware?07:47
LaserJockwell, apps are *installed* on the thin clients, they are thin :-)07:47
LaserJockjoebob777as7: well, build-client is making a minimal Ubuntu system so it can take a while07:48
joebob777as7kgoetz, no i just installed dasher in the original client and then it's not there on thins...07:48
joebob777as7LaserJock, ok it just seems it is taking longer than it did in feisty...07:48
LaserJockit's possible that more stuff is being installed, but I really don't know07:49
joebob777as7so anyway how do i install apps on all thins? ie wine apps?07:49
=== jjjjjjj [n=chatzill@64.46.3.83.novuscom.net] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockagaain, you don't install apps on the thin clients07:51
LaserJockyou install them on the server07:51
jjjjjjjquestion:  can edubuntu with LTSP installed be accessed from outside the school/classroom?  Or is it not designed for this type of remote access?  thanks07:53
LaserJockjjjjjjj: it's like a normal Ubuntu install07:53
kgoetzcould be, but i wouldnt myself07:53
jjjjjjji understand the installation.07:54
joebob777as7LaserJock, it just finished and i'm getting: "tftp: client does not accept options" on one of my clients? and then on my other client it looks like it's going to go and it just sits at a black screen with a flashing underscore... is there a way to troubleshoot this?07:55
LaserJockjoebob777as7: do you know what kind of video card your thin client has?07:56
kgoetzjoebob777as7: syslog will help probably07:56
joebob777as7i'm looking at the log doesn't say anything about it failing and now on my client it just says (unknown) [192.168.0.254]  9571  : connection timed out07:57
joebob777as7but the range i told it to take it 10.0.0.20-10.0.0.254 I don't know where it's getting this 192.168.0.254...07:58
jjjjjjjhow are you connecting the computers?  with a router or a hub or a switch?07:58
joebob777as7jjjjjjj, crossover cable07:59
jjjjjjjah07:59
jjjjjjjjust a server and one thin client eh?07:59
=== jjjjjjj [n=chatzill@64.46.3.83.novuscom.net] has left #edubuntu []
joebob777as7I see the 192.168.0.254 in my dhcpd.conf file but it is commented out...08:01
kgoetzjoebob777as7: whats the servers ip/s?08:01
joebob777as7192.168.0.208:02
joebob777as7and 10.0.0.108:03
kgoetzis the client plugged into th right nic?08:04
joebob777as7yes and it picks up an ip in the range i told it to 10.0.0.24908:04
joebob777as7kgoetz, this is the config for /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf08:07
joebob777as7http://www.pastebin.ca/69331008:07
joebob777as7should i change the 192.168.0.254 to something else? it wasn't in there before gutsy08:08
joebob777as7neither of those commented lines were...08:08
kgoetzi'm at work, i'll bbs08:10
joebob777as7LaserJock, any idea?08:10
LaserJockjoebob777as7: did yout try next-server 10.0.0.1; ?08:12
joebob777as7LaserJock, no... should i uncomment it? i figured since it was commented out it wouldn't even be read...08:13
LaserJockit shouldn't be read08:16
LaserJockalso, did you restart the dhcp server?08:16
joebob777as7LaserJock, yes i did but i haven't changed that value. hold on i'll change it and then restart dhcp08:17
joebob777as7btw what does the next-server option do?08:18
LaserJockI don't really know08:19
joebob777as7now when it boots i'm getting [   12.568000]  intel_rng: FWH not detected then it sits for about 5 mins and then it gets to the login... when i enter username and pass it says verifying password but never does....08:23
joebob777as7LaserJock,08:23
LaserJockhmm, well that's at least something08:24
joebob777as7lol yeah nothing is still something in this case08:25
joebob777as7still "verifying password"08:26
joebob777as7oh wait now i have a cursor with black screen.... we may have something here! I might officially have the slowest ltsp server on the planet!!!08:27

LaserJockeven if it's "here are some pointers but you can get more info from:"08:22
LaserJockbut it's a bit late for gutsy to get all that organized08:22
LaserJockI really want to turn Gavin and David Trask into Edubuntu doc people ;-)08:23
ograyeah08:23
ograto sad that gavin doesnt IRC08:23
LaserJockwell, when I see a good email I try to ask him to put it on the wiki08:23
LaserJockthat's at least a good start08:24
LaserJockhmm, I'm guessing people don't read About Edubuntu that much08:25
LaserJocksome of the sections sound kinda weird because they are s/Ubuntu/Edubuntu/08:25
LaserJockone paragraph says that Edubuntu is based on Ubuntu08:26
LaserJockthen a couple paragraphs down it says that Edubuntu is based on Debian08:26
ograouch08:27
sbalneavThis in the handbook?08:36

joebob777as7nice is xdmcp turned on by default in edubuntu? or how do i do that?10:53

sbalneavjoebob777as7: Hello?10:57
joebob777as7sbalneav, hey10:58
joebob777as7yes if possible10:58
sbalneavWon't be possible with xdmcp10:58
joebob777as7shoot...10:58
sbalneavDo like I told you in #ltsp10:58
sbalneavremove that file.10:58
sbalneavrebuild your chroot with ltsp-update-image.10:59
joebob777as7ok but i don't want it to bog down my network... is there a way to automount user dir upon login so i don't have to store user files locally?11:00
joebob777as7aside from ltsp...11:00
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
sbalneavYeah, sure.11:00
sbalneavread up on NFS and pam_mount.11:01
joebob777as7ok i will do that.11:01
sbalneavsimplest will just be to export /home on your server, and mount it on the clients.11:01
sbalneavin which case you won't need pam_mount.11:02
joebob777as7well i don't want to waste your time with that... but thank you i'll head over to #ubuntu and get some help unless you don't mind.11:03
ograso did you guys find the prob ?11:03
joebob777as7yes. put SERVER=10.0.0.1 in lts.conf11:04
sbalneavYep, but he doesn't want ltsp now, since compiz is apparently a "requirement" for him :)11:04
ograwell ...11:04
ogracompiz is fine with the intel cards11:04
sbalneavOver the network?  eeewwww.11:04
ograyeah11:04
ograits lots faster than metacity11:05
joebob777as7oh cool!11:05
sbalneavBesides, no one's tested it.11:05
sbalneavogra: Good, you can support it :)11:05
ograwell, we did on feisty with the classmate, remember ?11:05
=== sbalneav hands joebob777as7 off to ogra
ogranot today anymore11:05
sbalneavogra: Oh, yeah, 10 minutes worth :)11:05
ograi'm around since 14h again11:05
joebob777as7well another day then11:05
ograerr 1311:05
ogratomorrow :)11:05
ograi'm here every day ...11:06
joebob777as7ok thanks a bunch ogra you have given me new hope!11:06
ograthis channel is my office :)11:06
sbalneavWell, I'm gonna stand by my conviction.11:06
sbalneavI don't think it's gonna work.11:06
ograsbalneav, didnt you see compiz on the classmate ?11:06
sbalneavYeah, and it had bugs.11:06
sbalneavI tried it, and it didn't work for me.11:06
ograits even faster than running it locally11:06
LaserJockI'm totally going to try it11:07
LaserJockat the next LUG meeting11:07
LaserJockhehe11:07
ogranot with the -intel drve on the classmate ... you needed the i810 one and 915resolution11:07
sbalneavCrashed horribly.  Besides, doesn't matter wether YOU think it works, does UPSTREAM certify it on a remote display?11:07
ogradoes that matter ?11:08
joebob777as7i had it working on feisty. sbalneav told me to remove a file in chroot that disabled compiz still doesn't work though....11:08
sbalneavThen if you think people can turn it on, you better figure out a way so that it's not forced off.11:08
ograits a GL app run over the network11:08
ograi forced it off for gutsy but for other reasons11:08
sbalneavjoebob777as7: Did you rebuild your image with ltsp-update-image?11:08
joebob777as7yes i did...11:08
sbalneavThen you should be able to select it.11:09
ograand i think the breakage i had is covered in compiz itself now ... we *could* switch it on11:09
ograsbalneav, nay idea why SERVER wasnt set for him ?11:09
ogra*any11:09
ograit should be piced up from ROOTSERVER11:09
joebob777as7yeah lets do that I am only running 5 clients and they will all have 128mb nvidia 7-series vid cards.11:09
sbalneavyeah, if you've got an nbd root, the autodetection code doesn't work.11:09
ografrom dhcp11:09
sbalneavit looks for nfs mounts only11:09
ograhuh ?11:09
ogragah11:09
ograwe need to fix that11:10
sbalneavyeah11:10
sbalneavI haven't had time yet.11:10
ograwhy didnt i notice that yet ?11:10
ograthat must be broken since quite some time11:10
sbalneavyup :)11:10
ograand we had no bugs either11:10
ograhrm11:10
sbalneavI keep reminding myself to look at it, but keep forgetting11:10
ograsounds like me with ltsp-update.image :)11:11
sbalneavSo, is the only place you're disabling compiz in the ldm script?11:11
ograbut in my case that helped ... francis added a lot of broken stuff, you fixed it and i just had to add the rest :)11:11
ograyeah11:11
sbalneavok, then lets just remove that, then.11:11
ograthe autodetection on login trashed the via cients i tried11:12
sbalneavbut I got a baaaaaaaaaad feeling about it.11:12
ograbut via is blacklisted there now11:12
ograso we could probably drop that hack again11:12
sbalneavok11:12
sbalneavwell, I'll remove it from my tree then11:12
ogratry it on a fresh install please with cards you know dont work with compiz ...11:12
LaserJockoh wait, what are you guys talking about?11:12
sbalneavas for joebob777as7, if he just removes it, he should be fine.11:13
ograit should sanely fall back to metacity everywhere11:13
LaserJockogra: you're wanting to do "compiz-by-defalt" for TCs?11:13
ograi'm not sure he'll see compiz with the -intel driver, but it wont do harm i think :)11:13
ograLaserJock, we did for a while .... until my via clients all started crashing :)11:13
joebob777as7ogra, i have it running fine on my other feisty ltsp box11:13
ograbut mvo maintains a blacklist for all bad cards ...11:14
ograi supplied him a list for TCs i know that were broken ...11:14
LaserJockhmm11:15
sbalneavI think we need to add an LTSP parameter, COMPIZ_OK11:15
LaserJockI think we'd need some pretty extensive testing11:15
ografeel fre to hack up the scrpt11:15
sbalneavS15-prevent-compiz11:15
joebob777as7LaserJock, i'll do the testing11:16
LaserJockI personally rather see an easy option but not by default11:16
ograjoebob777as7, well, you have working HW11:16
LaserJockjoebob777as7: you can't test on all the various thin clients out there11:16
ograjoebob777as7, what we need to find are the people with the broken HW ;)11:16
joebob777as7i also have non working hardware.11:16
joebob777as7i have a via client micro-atx11:16
LaserJockperhaps, as Scotty has suggested a LTPS parameter11:17
ograLaserJock, it shouldnt make any difference if compiz runs networked or locally ...11:17
sbalneavS15-prevent-compiz should read the variable, and unless it's true, compiz is disabled.11:17
LaserJockand we can have a call for testing for gutsy11:17
ograi'd do it the other way around :)11:17
LaserJockand default or not for hardy11:17
LaserJockhehe11:17
LaserJockit's your bugs :-)11:17
sbalneavcompiz ON by default? for thin clients?! Are you MAD?!?!11:17
ograthe thing is, if it doesnt work its not an ltsp bug11:17
ograsbalneav, nope11:18
LaserJocktrue11:18
sbalneavThe firefox bug isn't an ltsp bug either.11:18
ograits a defaul we use in ubuntu now, the autodetection is supposed to work after four months of constant development11:18
LaserJocktrue11:18
sbalneavI got an inbox full of messages from Jim K wanting me to build custom firefox images with beta patches to fix the problem.11:18
ographew11:19
ograyeah, he's also very noisy on the NM bug11:19
ograluckily asac is a clam man ...11:19
ogra(he maintains both in ubuntu)11:19
ogra*calm11:19
sbalneavYeah, you turn compiz on by default, and it craps out on 3/4 of the thin clients out there, people aren't going to understad that it's a compiz bug11:19
sbalneavthey're going to see it as an ltsp bug11:20
ograwell, it was on most of the dev cycle11:20
ograi switched it off not to long ago11:20
joebob777as7it has a crash handler can't you have it do a metacity --replace if fail?11:20
ograwhat else would you do in hardy ?11:20
ograjoebob777as7, thats what it does11:20
joebob777as7perfect11:21
ograsbalneav, you would switch it on during development ... and then in the end switch it off again because you didnt get enough negative feedback ?11:21
sbalneavNo, I'd leave it off by default, and have it switchable on, if people want.11:22
ograindeed we can do the same in two cycles to be absolutely sure ...11:22
sbalneavFor every joebob who'd got a labfull of nvidia cards, we've got 100 brazillians who are lucky if their video card's got a meg of ram.11:23
LaserJockwell, given how much it's been tested in Ubuntu, maybe by-default with a LTSP option to turn it off *and* good documentation might be a decent way to go11:23
LaserJocksbalneav: it will go with metacity then11:23
joebob777as7lol is there a way to to a memory size test if 8 megs or under then do metacity?11:23
LaserJockit's supposed to only work on cards that it'll actually work on11:23
ograsbalneav, these videocards wont return GL info if asked by the script and default to metacity11:23
sbalneavI'd have to see that to beleive it.11:24
ograyou see it on every login :)11:24
ograit checks on every login11:24
ograsince gitsy opened11:24
ogra*gutsy11:24
LaserJockyeah, I only have 1 machine that'll run it11:24
ograright11:24
sbalneavNo I don't, because I don't RUN compiz, beacuse as far as i'm concerned, it's the biggest waste of time I've ever seen. :)11:24
LaserJockthe other's don't11:24
ograi only have the classmate that runs it :)11:24
ograsbalneav, its a huge usability improvement in the way we ship it by default now11:25
joebob777as7I agree11:25
sbalneavWhat, exactly, does it add usability wise.11:25
ograwobbly windows are crap, i totally agree here11:25
sbalneavWhat can you do with compiz that you CANT do with meta?11:25
sbalneavDon't confuse "bling" with "usability"11:26
ograa very nice window switching11:26
joebob777as7zoom negative zoom out to see a wall of all desktops live!11:26
ografitts law implemented in the desktop all over11:26
sbalneavAnyway, I know I'm gonna lose that argument, cuz I'm an old fart11:26
ogravery good desktop switching ...11:26
ograand GL based zooming11:26
sbalneavDo whatever.  Just so long as I can switch it off at my site.11:26
LaserJocksbalneav: don't worry, it's not just you11:26
LaserJocksbalneav: do you have any hardware that'll run it?11:27
joebob777as7as well as fade we use that all the time to see the window behind it partially . I'm doing that now watching a movie behind this window11:27
sbalneavI'd recommend, for at least one cycle, to have it OFF by default, with the option to turn it on.  Then, the gusty cycle, you'll get feedback, and if it's positive enought, you can turn it ON by default with hardy.11:27
sbalneavbut that's just me11:27
ograsbalneav, if you come up with a fix for the script i'll accept whatever default you choose in your code ...11:28
ografor gutsy ....11:28
ograbut we'll default to "on" in hardy ...11:28
ograok ?11:28
sbalneavSounds fine.11:28
LaserJock+1 from me, not that it matters ;-)11:28
ograok11:28
sbalneavAt least that way, you'll get six months of feedback on it's usability on the terminals.11:28
=== ogra doesnt want a grumpy sbalneav :)
LaserJockmy concern is that I'm guessing it hasn't been tested much in gutsy11:29
ograsbalneav, no, i wont11:29
LaserJockas far as LTSP/Thin clients11:29
sbalneavNah, if you want it on by default, I can do it gladly.  I'm just figuring you're going to get a TON of unhappy users.11:29
ograsbalneav, i'll get feedback from people that enabled it because they knew it would work on their cards11:29
joebob777as7like me11:29
ograright11:29
LaserJockhmm11:29
sbalneavWell, you'll also get some who will do it hoping, and have it fail.11:30
LaserJockcould we test it at Beta?11:30
ograto get feedbeack from the ones i'm intrested in, we'd actually need them doing testing during a dev cycle11:30
sbalneavanywho.  I'll patch tonight, add some docs on it, and we can test.11:30
LaserJockif we have a nice "on/off" switch then it'll be trivial to make a change either way for Release11:30
ograwhich they rarely do ...11:30
ograLaserJock, remember that we dont ship l-r-m in thin clients ... its a hard task to set it up for these people already ...11:31
sbalneavok, gotta catch the bus.11:31
sbalneavI'll be on later.11:31
sbalneavnight all11:31
LaserJockhmm11:31
ograits only one more option ... but that makes i one more option harder11:31
joebob777as7what is l-r-m?11:31
ogralinux-restricted-modules11:31
LaserJockogra: so what steps does it take to get it going?11:32
LaserJockchroot in and install l-r-m or  whatever graphics driver?11:32
ograinstall l-r-m ... run ltsp-update-kernels ... add XSERVER=nvidia/fglrx to lts.conf should work11:32
ograoh11:32
ograand in gutsy indeed ltsp-update-image11:33
joebob777as7i'm stoked!11:33
LaserJockand you'd still have to do that if we had compiz-by-default?11:33
ograyes11:33
ograto get the nvidia/ati drivers11:33
LaserJockah11:33
LaserJockwell that's a bit different11:33
ograwell, thats 2/3 of compiz users11:34
LaserJockI'm not sure why else you'd install the nvidia/ati drivers for a TC unless you wanted crack like that11:34
ograwe only ship intel drivers that work out of the box11:34
ografor GL apps11:34
LaserJockhmm, true11:34
ograGL over the net is not slower than locally ...11:34
joebob777as7yeah for those that want gl screensavers... ;)11:34
LaserJockI still don't get how it works11:35
LaserJockif the server doesn't have a GL-capable card11:35
ograyou transfer all bitmaps in the beginning, and the initial model11:35
LaserJockhmm, I see11:35
ograthen only changes to the vector model are sent and computed11:35
ograonly if you change a bitmap it will eat bandwith11:36
LaserJockthat's really amazing to me that that works11:36
ograGL is great ... the HW and drivers always were the prob here11:36
ograanyway, i'll need to stop ... get some food etc ...11:36
ogra23:30 here11:36
LaserJockso if I had say, a chemisty GL app, that's work the same way right?11:37
ograworing since 10am ...11:37
ograyeah11:37
LaserJockyeah, get some rest11:37
LaserJocknifty11:37
ograwill do :)11:37
LaserJockI'll have to play around witht he CMPC11:37
joebob777as7night ogra11:37
ogranight all11:37
joebob777as7LaserJock, what is cmpc?11:37
LaserJockClassmatePC11:38
LaserJockthat's my current "thin client" :-)11:38
LaserJockas I don't actually use LTSP for anything in real life11:39
joebob777as7oh ok11:40
joebob777as7cool11:40
joebob777as7LaserJock, so will i be able to use sound and local devices on these thinclients as well?11:40
LaserJockyes, you should be able to11:41
joebob777as7awesome. so i'll be able to burn cd's? at full speed?11:42
joebob777as7also am i going to see a huge difference between 100mbit and gigabit?11:44

dedaluson one client - not11:44
dedaluson 20+ yes:>11:44
joebob777as7on 5 clients?11:44
dedalusprobably not11:44
dedaluswell, it's nice to have giga "backbone"11:45
dedalusclients can be 100mbit11:45
dedalusanyway I have a question (oe more) regarding edubuntu ltsp operation11:45
dedalusi'm trying to get ltsp working on xen host domain11:46
dedalusand it works...sort of11:46
dedalusthere is one interesting problem - ltsp seems to "ignore" nfs export11:47
joebob777as7ok also will an AMD Opteron 180 Denmark 2.4GHz be good enough to run these fairly quick?11:47
dedalussince when i'm logged in, i can browse server root dir?11:47
dedalusis should be ok, joebob777as711:48
dedalusas long as you have enough ram awailable11:48
joebob777as7how much will i need? will 2 gigs be enough or should i plan for 4?11:48
joebob777as7also I have similar issue my thin clients can all view other user's documents?11:49
dedalus2 gigs is more than enough11:49
joebob777as7ok cool11:49
dedalusanyway - if I login in shell11:50
dedalusthen everything is ok - i find myself in chroot environment11:50
dedalusany clue?11:50
joebob777as7hmm...11:53
joebob777as7weird... i'd tell LaserJock or i hear that sbalneav is the bug fixer guru he'll be back on in a bit.11:55
dedalusmy last guess was, that somehow I manage to log on to server's gnome, which is not chrooted11:57
dedalusdo I need complete system in /opt/ltsp/i386?11:57
joebob777as7is this a fresh install or upgrade dedalus ?11:59
dedalusfresh install12:00
joebob777as7looks almost complete but not quite. you might try removing chroot and rebuilding ltsp-build-client12:03
dedalusi'll give it a try...12:03
dedaluschroot should have xserver/desktop, etc installed?12:04
joebob777as7where? i'll check?12:04
