=== calimer is now known as [NY]calimer
edistarhi, can someone help me solve a problem (bug)? Alltough the users are logged off already some processes continue to run and eat all cpu time..07:54
johnnyedistar, perhaps check out gnome-watch dog?08:20
johnnyerr gnome-watchdog08:46
edistarjohnny: thx, it's watching right now :)09:02
edistarhow do I set ssh encryption to none? just to test whether that is the bottleneck?09:04
johnnyLDM_DIRECTX in lts.conf09:07
johnnythat's a better test09:07
edistarwhat does that do?09:08
highvoltageogra_cmpc: hey ogra. what do I need to install in the ltsp chroot for thin client manager to work? just the x11vnc package?11:29
ogra_cmpcyeas11:29
ogra_cmpcbut i'd suggest italc :)11:30
ogra_cmpctcm was just dropped from the default install11:30
ogra_cmpc10 mins ago :)11:30
highvoltagehmm, strange. I did install x11vnc, but it still tells me to do so (even after rebuilding the thin client image and rebooting the client)11:31
highvoltageogra_cmpc: cool, I can give that a try later on, but I need to make tcm work in this instance though11:32
Nuba1heh really, tcm not part of edubuntu anymore?11:32
=== Nuba1 is now known as Nubae
ogra_cmpcits on the CD but not installed by default11:32
Nubaeah, makes sense if it doesnt work11:36
ogra_cmpc??11:38
ogra_cmpcit always worked11:38
highvoltageogra_cmpc: my volume control is disabled on the thin client machines, and it seems that there is no sound. the users are in the audio group, but it doesn't make any difference. anything that I should be looking at?11:38
ogra_cmpcis that gutsy or hardy ?11:39
highvoltagegutsy.11:39
ogra_cmpchmm11:39
ogra_cmpcthan it should work (havent tested hardy since weeks)11:39
NubaeI meant the x11vnc part11:40
ogra_cmpccdheck the .asouncof.asoundrc (or so) file of the user11:40
highvoltageok, I'll come here again and investigate, at least school holidays is about to start so there's no rush.11:40
highvoltagewill take a thin client with me and check whether this sound card is properly supported.11:40
ogra_cmpcNubae, works fine here ... just requires manual setup since i didnt want evil x11vnc in main11:40
Nubaeyeah school holidays indeed.. I've got 2 more classes11:40
Nubaefor most people, that means it doesn't work ;-) [requiring manual setup]11:41
ogra_cmpcif i find the time i'll disable vnc in tcm altogether11:41
highvoltageogra_cmpc: hmm, I think I should take a photo of this lab here, the kids just came in and are going crazy11:49
Nubaewhat do the -x and -z flags do in /usr/lib/ltsp/ltsp_config ?11:53
ogra_cmpcheh11:57
ogra_cmpcNubae, man test11:58
Nubaejust writing on the command line u mean?12:00
lagayes12:01
lagahitting 'return' afterwards is helpful, too12:01
lagaNubae: man man, too ;)12:01
Nubaeyeah yeah, easier to get a smart remark sometimes than help12:03
ogra_cmpc??12:04
ogra_cmpcthat was help12:04
ogra_cmpcfrom both of us12:05
ogra_cmpcuse man test to find out what the options mean12:05
ogra_cmpcuse man man to find out how to use man if you dont know yet12:06
* ogra_cmpc doesnt see smart remarks 12:06
lagado you want us to read the manual to you?12:12
Nubaethere's a manual for ltsp?12:20
ogra_cmpcthe edubuntu handbook12:21
ogra_cmpcinstalled by default, look in the help viewer12:21
Nubaethat doesn't help me with scripting12:21
NubaeI get the point though, thankyou12:22
* laga was talking about manuals in general ;)12:22
* ogra_cmpc doesnt understand12:22
ogra_cmpcyou want a manual how to write scripts ?12:22
ogra_cmpclaga, btw, all your changes were uploaded last night, sadly i missed the freeze by 20min so it sits in the rewiew queue12:23
lagaogra_cmpc: that's great news! thanks a lot12:26
ogra_cmpcthats not great news ...12:27
ogra_cmpcthat means someone will look at it and probably find things he wants changed12:27
ogra_cmpcif i had been 20min earlier we would have saved that hassle12:27
lagaQA is good ;)12:28
ogra_cmpcthe diff is quite huge, there were 5 bugs and a handfull of upstream changes12:28
ogra_cmpcand your plugin patch12:28
lagayes.. that diff is fun to read.12:28
ogra_cmpcoh, btw, does your client package have a check for /etc/ltsp_chroot ?12:30
ogra_cmpcso you cant install it by accident on a normal system ?12:30
lagaogra_cmpc: um.. not sure, but i was going to add something to MCC..12:30
lagaogra_cmpc: i dont think so, but i'll add it12:30
ogra_cmpclook at the ltsp-client package12:30
ogra_cmpcthere is code for such a check12:30
ogra_cmpcin the preinst iirc12:30
lagapostinst wouldn't make a lot of sense ;)12:31
ogra_cmpcwell, preinst isnt great either12:31
ogra_cmpcit breaks on out internal autobuild tests and needs blacklisting and extra paperwork12:32
laga*shrug* you know, people are not exactly forced to install it on their normal boxes :)12:32
lagaoh12:32
lagaok, i can see that..12:32
ogra_cmpcbut thats still better than having users that install ltsp-client on their systems12:32
lagayup12:32
lagawe have a similar check in your trunk packages for MythTV (using debconf).. but those will _never_ go to main :)12:32
ogra_cmpcright12:33
stgraberogra_cmpc: Did you have time to test italc 1.0.7 before uploading ?12:44
ogra_cmpcno :)12:47
ogra_cmpcbut we have four weeks for pressing bugs12:47
ogra_cmpcthe client will be installed by default from tomorrows build on12:48
stgraberogra_cmpc: what about the "no tcp port opened by default" policy btw ?12:48
ogra_cmpcwe're not ubuntu and that port is secured by ssl or did in misunderstand the design ?12:49
ogra_cmpcs/in/i12:49
stgraberoh, I didn't know it was only affecting Ubuntu and not its add-ons :) According to upstream, iTalc with the latest fixes should be secure. Previously it would have been possible to take control of any of the "client" while the teacher was running a demo but that's now fixed.12:52
ogra_cmpcgood12:52
ogra_cmpcwell, if that policy would apply to all derivatives then ltsp by default would never have been possible12:52
stgraberdid you set iTalc as a depends or a recommends of edubuntu-desktop ?12:54
ogra_cmpcdepends for now12:55
ogra_cmpcbut only -client12:55
stgraberoh, quite a long time I haven't updated my edubuntu box : 460 packages upgraded, 49 newly installed, 10 to remove (= 472MB from archive)12:59
henrik_Hello! Anybody who can give me a clue about the following error message:13:47
henrik_ssh: /var/run/ldm_socket_vt7_192.168.0.254: Name or service not known13:47
henrik_when running:13:47
henrik_ssh -X -S /var/run/ldm_socket_vt7_192.168.0.4 server "/usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter /var/run/drives/usbdisk-sdb1 add"13:47
henrik_?13:47
henrik_(from the client..)13:47
henrik_I'm using edubuntu 7.10, and can't get local devices to mount on server13:50
Nubaeheh, ogra, have to apologize for earlier, didn't realise that when u said 'man test' u meant it literally13:52
NubaeI thought u were saying 'man, just test it'13:53
lagahehehe :)13:53
Kamping_Kaiserhehe13:53
Nubaeheh, I guess irc can be confusing sometimes13:53
Nubaethere's me getting irritated, and in fact it was truly helpful13:54
Nubaedoh13:54
RichEdNubae: now imagine if you were an aesthetically or facial hairily challenged female ... the kind that wear comfortable shoes and play hockey... then you would *really* have been offended !13:56
Nubaehehe13:56
* Nubae feels silly13:56
Kamping_KaiserNubae, should he have said `man [` instead? :)13:57
Kamping_Kaiserclear up the confusion :)13:57
Nubaewould have been less ambiguous ;-)13:58
Kamping_Kaiserhehe13:59
lagaone would expect a linux user to know the "man" command ;)13:59
Nubaeyeah I do, but not "man test"13:59
Nubaeand to be honest wasn't thinking along the lines of it being a command13:59
Kamping_KaiserNubae, theres also `help test` (for the bash builtin). `man test` and `man [` are the external command 'test'14:00
Nubaethought he was irritated because it was a stupid question and therefore said man test14:00
Nubaesigh14:00
lagaman man. :)14:00
Nubaeyeah that I got, but still didn't think about the man test14:00
Nubaein my defense, I was surrounded by 20 kids at the time14:01
jonathan__ogra: btw, the problems with the sound card I had was a problem with that specific sound chip, and I had to reload the driver with some options, so it wasn't an ltsp related problem at all.14:01
Nubaethank god school holidays have just begun14:01
Kamping_Kaiserthe perfect moment to have to experiment ;) (not)14:01
* Nubae will look a bit more closely at what is written next time14:03
Nubaefunny thing is, I got home and thought, I'll just type in man test and see what comes up14:04
Kamping_Kaiserhehe14:04

henrik_okay. sorry..14:08
Nubaeusing non mac address settings never worked for me14:09
Nubaealso, the file needs [default] at the beginning14:09
Nubaeor wont work14:09
Nubaeogra_cmpc__: if you didnt see up top, I was apologizing, I misunderstood your instructions for a comment (ie. man go and test it) not do 'man test', sorry...14:11
ogra_cmpc__well, it wont break local devices though14:11
ogra_cmpc__heh14:14
ogra_cmpc__no need to apologize if i didnt express myself properly :)14:14
* Nubae jumped to conclusions, my fault not yours14:14
stgraberogra_cmpc__: I'm currently testing italc on i386 and VNC just rocks !!!14:16
stgraberogra_cmpc__: the screen auto-resize thing is just amazing, no need to scroll anymore14:16
ogra_cmpc__yay14:16
ogra_cmpc__i'll test with my classmates this weekend14:17
ogra_cmpc__lets see if i can control the classroom :)14:17
Nubaewhich version of italc is that, hardy's?14:17
stgraberyes, 1.0.714:17
stgraberogra_cmpc__: I'll deploy it in a classroom at my father's school and see how well it goes, nothing's better than lambda users for testing :)14:18
henrik_No more clues on my problem?14:22
henrik_I'm stuck with this :-(14:22
=== RichEd-1 is now known as RichEd
henrik_Btw did the patch suggested in bugg 16042014:23
ogra_cmpc__henrik_, wich release is that ?14:23
henrik_7.1014:23
ogra_cmpc__ok14:24
ogra_cmpc__which of the two patches did yu use14:24
ogra_cmpc__the one for delayed_mounter is not needed14:24
henrik_Ahh.14:24
henrik_I did both14:24
ogra_cmpc__all you need to do is delete the DISPLAY line in ltspfsmounter14:24
ogra_cmpc__nothing else14:24
henrik_Ok. I commented out that.14:25
ogra_cmpc__no ned to14:25
ogra_cmpc__its solved in hardy14:25
ogra_cmpc__i should probably close the bug :)14:25
henrik_:-)14:25
henrik_But hardy i not comming before next mont(?)14:26
stgraberhenrik_: bugs are closed as soon as a fix is published in the devel release14:26
stgraberhenrik_: and only kept open if it's candidate for a SRU (but that's a different kind of bug report)14:27
ogra_cmpc__well, i was planning to do a sru for gutsy, but currently i dont have the time to fiddle with ltspfs on old releases14:28
henrik_I understand.14:28
ogra_cmpc__the fix is trivial enough :)14:28
henrik_Yes, but I got an error message I didn't find any solution for with google.14:29
henrik_I find it strange14:29
henrik_It's a pretty clean install14:29
ogra_cmpc__RichEd, with zsync my download between the 20080312 and 20080313 image took about 10M14:30
RichEdogra_cmpc__: neat ... i can affort that :)14:31
ogra_cmpc__ok14:31
ogra_cmpc__first you need to install zsync14:31
ogra_cmpc__then copy your existing image to be "classmate-daily.img" or so14:32
ogra_cmpc__then you just need the following command: zsync -o classmate-daily.img http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/classmate/images/hardy/hardy-classmate-20080313.img.zsync14:32
ogra_cmpc__(in one line)14:33

LaserJockogra_cmpc: woah!!! somebody just uploaded squeak-vm to Debian NEW!16:32
ogra_cmpcoooooh16:32
LaserJockhttp://ftp-master.debian.org/new/squeak-vm_3.9.12+svn1820.dfsg-1.html16:32
ogra_cmpcthe package you used ?16:32
LaserJockno, never heard of the person16:32
ogra_cmpcdo you think it'll get through ?16:33
LaserJocklooks like they did quite some work16:34
LaserJockand it appears to be a DD that's doing it16:35
ogra_cmpcyes, i noticed16:35
LaserJockmaybe I should grab that package and give it to pitti :-)16:35
ogra_cmpcArchitecture: source amd6416:35
ogra_cmpchrm16:35
Nubaeif a program exists in rc2-4 that should be enough for it to have to start up right?16:36
ogra_cmpcwhats that ?16:36
Nubaeby program I mean script16:36
* ogra_cmpc has never seen "source" as target arch16:36
Nubaedoing update-rc.d cupsys defaults tells me it exists there already, but still don't get it to start up unless I do it via a RCFILE_NN= using lts.conf16:37
ogra_cmpcLaserJock, we should talk to him, yes, but that architecture line is strange ... and that doesnt give us images16:37
LaserJockogra_cmpc: I think that's just the upload archs16:38
ogra_cmpcah16:38
LaserJockso he uploaded source and an amd64 .deb16:38
ogra_cmpcright16:38
LaserJockand the images are no problem, we use my packages16:38
LaserJockpitti really only had a problem with the squeak-vm part16:38
ogra_cmpcyeah, i was looking at the wrong file16:39
ogra_cmpcArchitecture: any16:39
LaserJockI gotta run but I'll look at it this afternoon16:39
ogra_cmpcthere is the right entry16:39
LaserJockin the least I'll look at the package and grab what I can16:39
LaserJockI certainly wish somebody had said something to me :(16:39
LaserJockI feel like I wasted a lot of time16:39
ogra_cmpcyeah16:40

gregbradyHi everyone....I'm using Ubuntu and was recommended to ask you guys how to do internet filtering to protect my son.23:28
gregbradyOk, I guess not.....off to the next resource.23:36
Kamping_Kaisergregbrady, a bit of patence will take you a long way23:37
lagawell, my answer would be "don't let your son surf the internet alone if he's not old enough/if you can't trust him"23:37
lagabut you were probably looking for a software solution23:37
gregbradyNo worries, thanks.23:38
Kamping_Kaiseri use dansguardian for a software solution, but it can be rather complex to setup23:38
lagagregbrady: there are probably some websites dedicated to kids.. it's probably possible to set up your browser or a small proxy to only allow those sites. eg have a mnaula whitelist.23:39
lagaerr, manual*23:39
gregbradyThanks!  I will check both ideas.23:45
lagathere are some dedicated services like netnanny, but i don't know if they'll work with linux23:46
lagaand something always gets through.. and if he's a geek, he'll figure out how to get around that real quick :)23:47
gregbradylaga, of that I'm sure, but I have to at least make an effort to block the easiest to get to sites.23:47
gregbradylike xmen23:48
lagado i want to google that?23:48
gregbradyno23:48
gregbradyor monster movie23:48
gregbradyinnocent enough.....on the surface23:49
lagaa 2003 movie?23:49
gregbradynot the one that I remember23:50
lagai'd be more concerned about neonazi propaganda or porn23:51
gregbradyexactly what he found....the monster movie site was not about actual monsters.....23:53
lagaand x-men was not about comics either, huh?23:54
gregbradyum, no.23:54
gregbradyKind of funny, but not really.....23:54
laganot if it's about your children, i understand23:55
lagaalthough i've seen stuff on the 'net where i had been glad if i had used netnanny :)23:56
gregbradyvery embarrassing and enraging at the same time23:56
