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