fsgastonDoes anybody know of patch to the 64bit ltsp so it won't lock up?14:36
ogra?? can you elaborate ?14:37
ograyou have 64bit clients that done work ?14:37
ogra*dont14:37
fsgastonogra - once we get a about 10 clients going with some multimedia the server just locks up14:38
ogradefine "some multimedia"14:38
fsgastonogra - the box has 8GB or ram and is doing fine and then just stops, I have read some other14:38
fsgastonpeople having the same issue14:38
ogralike everyone using rhythmbox at the same time ?14:38
fsgastonogra - realplayer and a few and Writer on a few, variety of apps, I even had it happen on a two client test setup14:39
ograanything in the logs ?14:39
fsgastonSadly we have already wiped the machine and are testing other options, so I don't know14:40
fsgastonI heard 32bit was solid.14:40
ograit should be, yes14:40
ogra(as should amd64 though, i'D really like to know what that was)14:41
fsgastonogra - have you heard of this happening before, or do most people use 32 bit.14:41
fsgastonWhat logs would help you the most14:41
ograwell, i had a lot good feedback for hardy amd64 vs gutsy, but that was merely because flash finally works there14:42
stgraberogra: did you see that bug about http proxy and ltsp-build-client ? (reading /etc/apt/apt.conf)14:42
ograi havent heard of random lockups though14:42
stgraberogra: it's easy to fix but I don't know if debootstrap uses /etc/apt/apt.conf, if it doesn't there is no point in fixing it14:42
ograstgraber, yeah, its a duplicate14:42
ograi was discussing it with vagrant a while ago but we didnt come to a proper solution yet ... since there are at least two places to define the proxy14:43
stgraberyes and IIRC the Ubuntu way is to create a file in apt.conf.d no ?14:43
ograeither /etc/apt/apt.conf or as http_proxy env variable. the fix needs to handle both14:43
ograi dotn want a ubuntu alone solution ... the advantage of having something deban can use too is that they do the maintenance :)14:44
stgraberhttp_proxy currently works fine for both debootstrap and apt-get, apt.conf doesn't for any, can be solved for apt-get but that's useless if debootstrap doesn't use it14:44
fsgastonDoes anybody have a good link for setting up autologin with LTSP?15:01
fsgastonogra - we are setting up a new 64bit box for testing?15:01
ograyou need to set LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True, LDM_USERNAME and LDM_PASSWORD in lts.conf15:01
fsgastonogra - if the usernames are the same, does this cause problems on the server with 100 clients15:02
ograyes15:02
fsgastonogra - what do you recommend15:03
ogranot with the server but with the apps15:03
fsgastoncan you do login based on hostname15:03
ogracreate one user per client u15:03
fsgastonogra - How do point each host machine to a differnet username?15:06
ograi think Gadin in #ltsp had a script for that, try to catch him there15:07
ogra*Gadi15:07
fsgastonogra - If you were starting with 100 hosts and were planning on going up to 300 very soon, what approach would you take (network authentication etc)15:08
ograi dont care about hosts, the question is how many users do you have ? :)15:09
ogra(often thats more than the number of hosts)15:09
fsgastonabout 2000 users15:10
fsgastonWe were looking at network filestorege for file access at school and home15:10
ograyeah, well, a separation of appservers vs bootservers would be the first step i guess15:10
ograsorry, got a meeting now ... look at the mille-xterm scripts (i think stgraber can poit you to something) they do things like automatic appserver detection in ldm etc15:11
fsgastonThanks ogra, you have been a great help15:11
ograi'll be back soon15:12
fsgastonjoin #ltsp15:13

=== greeneggsnospam is now known as jsgotangco
lulemurfanis it possible to install edubuntu on QEMU?17:48
fsgastonI need some feedback, would you do Edubuntu 7.1 or 8.04 for LTSP?20:24
stgraber8.04, it's LTS20:27
