| inoex135 | hi all | 14:17 |
|---|---|---|
| inoex135 | i want to ask some tips how to increase the speed of my ltsp | 14:17 |
| inoex135 | i use amd 64 bit with 1 Gb memory and 5 client | 14:18 |
| ogra | 1gig is pretty low for 5 clients with full desktop at the same time | 14:21 |
| inoex135 | ogra, but i read in the requirement | 14:22 |
| ogra | (depending on what your users do indeed ) | 14:22 |
| inoex135 | edubuntu just need 128 Mb for each user | 14:22 |
| ogra | well, its 128M x number of clients + 256M for the server | 14:22 |
| ogra | whats slow for you ? | 14:23 |
| inoex135 | yesterday all of the client run tuxmath :D | 14:23 |
| inoex135 | and the tuxmath run so slowly :(( | 14:23 |
| ogra | yeah, thats a design issue of tuxmath ... | 14:23 |
| inoex135 | i don't know, is it right that when the users run same aplications will make the system run slowly? | 14:24 |
| inoex135 | because when they run different aplication, the system run faster | 14:24 |
| ogra | is that with a certain application ? | 14:28 |
| ogra | or with all of them | 14:28 |
| inoex135 | not with office | 14:39 |
| inoex135 | because i implement in school | 14:39 |
| inoex135 | the students just use tuxmath and some game like chess | 14:39 |
| stgraber | RichEd-1: Good news from iTalc, italc's author contacted me by jabber and really seems to want to help debugging it | 17:17 |
| laga | ogra: i think i have found a workaround for the unionfs nfs bugs. create a ext2 image on the nfs share and mount that. haven't tried it yet, though :) | 17:23 |
| ogra | laga, well, then you can as well take squashfs and nbd :) | 17:26 |
| ogra | plus ext3 image for the writable pieces | 17:26 |
| ogra | (i wouldnt use ext2 ) | 17:27 |
| laga | yes, that's the plan. or do you mean i should use nbd for the writable pieces as well? that's a bit more complicated because you can't easily create new images then | 17:28 |
| laga | i'd ideally use one image per client | 17:28 |
| laga | ogra: ext3 sounds good as well | 17:28 |
| ogra | have a look at nbdswapd | 17:28 |
| ogra | it creates the swap files/images on the fly | 17:28 |
| laga | yes, i've already done that. i don't see how i can easily create a relation between one specific client and its own overlay | 17:29 |
| laga | (overlay == cow directory) | 17:29 |
| ogra | you got the ip | 17:29 |
| laga | ip does not work well in DHCP environments | 17:30 |
| ogra | but that can change indeed | 17:30 |
| laga | right now, i use the mac address | 17:30 |
| laga | which should work pretty well | 17:30 |
| ogra | usually one client gets the same ip all the time | 17:30 |
| laga | still not reliable enough :/ | 17:30 |
| ogra | unless you have more clients than IPs | 17:30 |
| ogra | right, you cant rely on it | 17:30 |
| laga | i wonder if nbdswapd even "sees" the ip address of the client since it's run from inetd | 17:31 |
| laga | ogra: daniel holbach posted i need to go through the usual sponsor ship process for getting my patches included into ubuntu. do you still plan on applying them or should i do was i was told? | 18:22 |
| ogra | laga, you dont i clearified that | 19:06 |
| ogra | he just goes blindly over all bugs that have patches attached | 19:06 |
| laga | ogra: great. | 19:06 |
| ogra | the locales patch will be in the next upload ... | 19:07 |
| laga | ogra: it looks like i'll get a proper unionfs patch as well. | 19:07 |
| laga | <- happy. :) | 19:07 |
| ogra | :) | 19:07 |
| laga | ogra: do you want the other patches in one big patch or broken into several smaller patches? | 19:09 |
| ogra | depends how big that big one is | 19:10 |
| laga | good answer. i'll try to go easy on you ;) | 19:10 |
| ogra | sorry, but i have to leave now for a company dinner ... | 19:11 |
| ogra | ets talk about the other one tomorrow | 19:11 |
| laga | have a nice night | 19:11 |
| Goosemoose | hi guys, has the addon for hardy been finished to enable the simple authentication against an AD domain? | 19:49 |
| Delcastanher | Hello! | 20:15 |
| Delcastanher | I need some help with LTSP | 20:15 |
| Delcastanher | anyone can help me? | 20:15 |
| laga | just ask a question :) | 20:15 |
| Delcastanher | is it possible to use an USB Printer on thin client? | 20:16 |
| Delcastanher | im googling it all day :P | 20:16 |
| Delcastanher | knock knock? | 20:19 |
| laga | relax. | 20:19 |
| laga | if someone has an answer, they will answer | 20:19 |
| johnny | i assume it should work in theory | 20:19 |
| johnny | never tried tho | 20:20 |
| Delcastanher | i read that its possible... but looks like it needs the lp_server package | 20:20 |
| Delcastanher | and it package is not in repository | 20:21 |
| johnny | lp_server.. i've never even heard of that | 20:21 |
| johnny | i figured cups would take care of it | 20:21 |
| johnny | just like it does for everything else printer related | 20:21 |
| Delcastanher | as i read, the server's cups will access the client's printer... but the client needs the lp_server running | 20:22 |
| Delcastanher | look: | 20:24 |
| Delcastanher | http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/docs/ltsp-4.1-en.html#AEN696 | 20:24 |
| johnny | edubuntu doesn't use ltsp 4 | 20:26 |
| johnny | in any recent release | 20:26 |
| johnny | afaik | 20:26 |
| johnny | you can't really count on any ltsp 4 docs | 20:26 |
| Delcastanher | but i didnt find anything about ltsp printing at ubuntu docs, or wiki... | 20:28 |
| johnny | well.. that is a problem for sure | 20:29 |
| johnny | but you still can't use ltsp 4 docs in any case | 20:29 |
| johnny | the design is totally different | 20:29 |
| Delcastanher | yes... i think i will google everything again... | 20:33 |
| Delcastanher | i found something now: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html#id529611 | 20:33 |
| johnny | yeah.. the handbook is good | 20:34 |
| Delcastanher | but i think that i tried it before... but ok... i will try again :) | 20:34 |
| johnny | if it doesn't work.. check the bugs on launchpad | 20:34 |
| Delcastanher | thank you! i will reboot my thin client now. | 20:37 |
| Delcastanher | wish me luck :D | 20:37 |
| Delcastanher | you are right | 20:41 |
| Delcastanher | ltsp 5 is not 4.1 | 20:41 |
| Delcastanher | :) | 20:41 |
| Delcastanher | the only thing i change: use mac address between [ ] instead use ip or machine name... | 20:42 |
| Delcastanher | now is working | 20:42 |
| LaserJock | great | 20:42 |
| Delcastanher | thank you very much | 20:45 |
| Delcastanher | and good night (it is night in Brazil) :P | 20:45 |
| johnny | night | 20:46 |
