Nuba1I get connection refused when they startup12:24
Nuba1I'm assuming this is because feisty is expecting nfs and Gutsy only does nbd... is this assumption correct?12:25
Nuba1can someone help me please :-(12:28
Nuba1I've spent days trying to get this working, there was of course, no mention anywhere that from feisty to gutsy suddenly fglrx was not supported anymore...12:29
Nuba1I understand its not used much in thin clients, but surely there must be more people than me trying to use fglrx, whether it be thin or fat clients12:30

stgraberogra: is there any known bug for Edubuntu LTSP that could cause a misdetection of my graphic card ?04:47
ograstgraber, intel ?04:47
stgraberogra: running at 1280x1024 instead of 1680x105004:47
stgraberogra: yes04:47
ogramight be it detects the i810 driver for it instead of the intel one04:48
stgraberok, will try to override it in lts.conf and see if that helps04:48
ograthats likely bug 149006 as well04:48

cberloHi folks.  Got a quick question (I hope):  how can you figure out who's actually logged in to an Edubuntu LTSP session?  Clients are connected through LDM (the default) and thus do not show up in the "who" listing.04:51
ograthin client manager04:51
stgraberogra: using XSERVER=intel fixed it04:52
cberloogra: Okay, and that' won't fly on a command line...  :)  Need a script to do some cleanup work at logout.  Can't figure out who's logged in, though.04:52
ograit has a commandline tool as well04:52
ogra scp-remote --help04:52
ograstgraber, yeah, thats what i thought, thanks :)04:52
stgraberogra: receiving "Connection refused" when trying to play a sound :(04:53
cberloogra: Thanks.  Looks like that will work for me.  :)04:58

stgraberogra: pulseaudio isn't running on the client :(05:09
ograoh05:09
ograthats a fresh install ?05:10
stgraberyes05:11
ogrameh05:11
ograi havent managed finishing a server install yet05:12
ogravbox isnt nice to me today05:12
ogratwo desktop install were fine though05:12
stgraberI logged as root on a thin client, soundcard is correctly detected but looking at ps aux there is no pulseaudio :(05:13
ograweird05:13
ograany errors on any of the consoles ?05:13
stgraberdo you know what's the exact command used to start pulseaudio ?05:14
ograpulse usually pops them up in red05:14
ograthats tricky since we use hardcoded options ... look in the ltsp-client-core initscript, its a whole bunch05:14
stgraberogra: pulse works well, it's just not launched ...05:22
ograhmm05:22
stgraberogra: I typed the exact same command as there is in the ltsp-client-core.install and it worked05:22
stgraber.init I mean05:23
ograi assume you didnt create an lts.conf saying SOUND=False05:23
stgraberindeed, I first thought that the problem could come from there so I tried without any SOUND (default), then with SOUND=yes and SOUND=true (current)05:24
stgrabernone of them worked05:24
ograthats pretty strange05:24
ograwithout any should work fine05:25
ograSOUND=True should do as well05:25
ograare ltspfsd and cdpinger runnng on the client ?05:27
stgraberltspfsd yes, cdpinger no05:27
ograyou dont have a cdrom ?05:28
stgraberI have one (serial-ata)05:29
ogra(it should start if /dev/cdrom exists)05:29
stgraber/dev/cdrom exists and points to scd005:30
ograhmm, anyway, ltspfsd runs so the configure_localdev function was executed ...05:30
stgraberogra: running : cdpinger cdrom05:31
ograok05:32
stgraberworked fine, I just don't see why it doesn't automatically start05:32
stgrabernah, it's not ok :)05:32
ograi think scott made it start from ldm scripts as well, so that does no harm05:32
ograah, no, thats delayed mounter05:32
stgraberI had to run the cdpinger by hand, but running it with the command there is in ltsp-client-core.init worked05:33
stgraberthat's what I don't understand05:33
stgraberit's supposed to have executed the exact same command ...05:34
ograrigh, me neither05:34
ograthe thing is that absolutely nothing changed between RC and today05:35
stgraberI'm pretty sure I had sound on that same computer with RC :(05:36
ograthe last change i made to ltsp was 8 days ago ... RC is five days ago05:37
ograi suspec a race condition ...05:38
ograsomething is gotten slower or faster during boot ... that exposes it ...05:38
ograprobably udev05:38
stgraberrebooting without the lts.conf (just in case)05:38
ograyou could try to add a "sleep 5" before the localdev and sound functions (after the screenscripts are run)05:39
ogra(in the ltsp-client-core initscript)05:40
stgraberhmm, got sound this time05:41
ograyeah, race condition ... :/05:41
stgraberI hate that :)05:41
ograindicates a prob with udev05:42
ograi guess cdpinger wasnt up because there was no /dev/cdrom when it was started05:42
ograsame for sound05:42
ograbut dont quote me on that ...05:43
ograneed to see it myself05:43
ograsounds like something to fix in an SRU#05:43
ogra-#05:43
stgraberyeah, got both sound and high res this time :)05:43
stgraberand cdpinger running05:44
stgraberwill try to reproduce the no sound, no cdpinger thing05:45
stgraberreproduced :)05:47
stgraberjust had to reboot once05:47
stgraberbut well, my client is a Core2Duo 2.0Ghz with tons of RAM (2GB), not really the usual thin client as of performance :)05:48
stgraberogra: I could add a : ls /dev > /var/log/debugltsp to the init script to check if your theory is right, no ?05:50
ograindeed05:51
ograbut te ls will likely take longer than the race takes05:51
stgraberI'll put it after the cdpinger so it won't slow down the boot, just have to hope that the device won't show up between the cdpinger and the ls05:52
stgraberargh, too bad the server isn't as fast as the client :), mksquashfs takes some time05:54
=== vistakiller [n=spiros@ppp38-220.adsl.forthnet.gr] has joined #edubuntu
stgraberogra: it worked !!! :)05:58
stgraberogra: I've put a : ls /dev/cdrom > /var/log/ltspdebug05:59
stgraberogra: after boot, still no sound and /var/log/ltspdebug exists but is empty05:59
ograreboot again until you have a cd05:59
stgraberogra: so the file didn't exist at this point05:59
ograand see if it corellates05:59
stgraberconfirmed06:02
stgraberI just had a "slow" boot and have /dev/cdrom in the ltspdebug file06:03
stgraber(boot is <10s on this computer)06:03
ograah, well06:04
ograi never test on suc speedy stuff :)06:05
ograi have nothing here that boots faster than 30 secs06:05
stgraberoh, just something I noticed while testing Edubuntu, is that normal that we have a "switch user" option ?06:06
stgraberit doesn't work at all on LTSP and show two error messages, a first one that explain why it doesn't work and a second weird one06:06
ograoh06:07
ograit shouldnt offer any options06:07
ograjust sit there and show your username06:07
ograat least on LTSP clients06:07

stgraberfusa works as expected06:08
stgraberthat's the close session options that still show a "Switch User" option (next to Log Out and Lock Screen)06:09

ograi never thought about that06:09
stgraberone more thing to fix for Hardy :)06:16
ograyeah06:18
ografor now a sleep in the init would do as workaround in case you really have such fast clients in day to day use06:20
