[04:57] <webwulf> anyone here?
[04:57] <webwulf> I could use some help setting up some systems for a school
[04:58] <webwulf> hello?
[14:36] <fsgaston> Does anybody know of patch to the 64bit ltsp so it won't lock up?
[14:37] <ogra> ?? can you elaborate ?
[14:37] <ogra> you have 64bit clients that done work ?
[14:37] <ogra> *dont
[14:38] <fsgaston> ogra - once we get a about 10 clients going with some multimedia the server just locks up
[14:38] <ogra> define "some multimedia"
[14:38] <fsgaston> ogra - the box has 8GB or ram and is doing fine and then just stops, I have read some other
[14:38] <fsgaston> people having the same issue
[14:38] <ogra> like everyone using rhythmbox at the same time ?
[14:39] <fsgaston> ogra - realplayer and a few and Writer on a few, variety of apps, I even had it happen on a two client test setup
[14:39] <ogra> anything in the logs ?
[14:40] <fsgaston> Sadly we have already wiped the machine and are testing other options, so I don't know
[14:40] <fsgaston> I heard 32bit was solid.
[14:40] <ogra> it should be, yes
[14:41] <ogra> (as should amd64 though, i'D really like to know what that was)
[14:41] <fsgaston> ogra - have you heard of this happening before, or do most people use 32 bit.
[14:41] <fsgaston> What logs would help you the most
[14:42] <ogra> well, i had a lot good feedback for hardy amd64 vs gutsy, but that was merely because flash finally works there
[14:42] <stgraber> ogra: did you see that bug about http proxy and ltsp-build-client ? (reading /etc/apt/apt.conf)
[14:42] <ogra> i havent heard of random lockups though
[14:42] <stgraber> ogra: 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 it
[14:42] <ogra> stgraber, yeah, its a duplicate
[14:43] <ogra> i 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 proxy
[14:43] <stgraber> yes and IIRC the Ubuntu way is to create a file in apt.conf.d no ?
[14:43] <ogra> either /etc/apt/apt.conf or as http_proxy env variable. the fix needs to handle both
[14:44] <ogra> i dotn want a ubuntu alone solution ... the advantage of having something deban can use too is that they do the maintenance :)
[14:44] <stgraber> http_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 it
[15:01] <fsgaston> Does anybody have a good link for setting up autologin with LTSP?
[15:01] <fsgaston> ogra - we are setting up a new 64bit box for testing?
[15:01] <ogra> you need to set LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True, LDM_USERNAME and LDM_PASSWORD in lts.conf
[15:02] <fsgaston> ogra - if the usernames are the same, does this cause problems on the server with 100 clients
[15:02] <ogra> yes
[15:03] <fsgaston> ogra - what do you recommend
[15:03] <ogra> not with the server but with the apps
[15:03] <fsgaston> can you do login based on hostname
[15:03] <ogra> create one user per client u
[15:06] <fsgaston> ogra - How do point each host machine to a differnet username?
[15:07] <ogra> i think Gadin in #ltsp had a script for that, try to catch him there
[15:07] <ogra> *Gadi
[15:08] <fsgaston> ogra - 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)
[15:09] <ogra> i dont care about hosts, the question is how many users do you have ? :)
[15:09] <ogra> (often thats more than the number of hosts)
[15:10] <fsgaston> about 2000 users
[15:10] <fsgaston> We were looking at network filestorege for file access at school and home
[15:10] <ogra> yeah, well, a separation of appservers vs bootservers would be the first step i guess
[15:11] <ogra> sorry, 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 etc
[15:11] <fsgaston> Thanks ogra, you have been a great help
[15:12] <ogra> i'll be back soon
[15:13] <fsgaston> join #ltsp
[16:41] <dukeofgp> how to get involved in edubuntu
[17:48] <lulemurfan> is it possible to install edubuntu on QEMU?
[20:24] <fsgaston> I need some feedback, would you do Edubuntu 7.1 or 8.04 for LTSP?
[20:27] <stgraber> 8.04, it's LTS
