| werwolf | how can i costumize the ThinClient-chrootm with lts.con it won't be recognizef ? | 03:50 |
| mib_btjb1m | so, Im googling around and finding mixed response. Wondered if I could get some help here. I started with ubuntu, then installed the edubuntu add-on. How would I go about going back to plain ubuntu? | 04:45 |
| mib_btjb1m | this is of course hardy heron | 04:46 |
| Nubae | ogra: are u there, Don't mean to hassle you, was just wondering if the lpia (atom) netbook-remix is ready? | 08:51 |
| stgraber | ogra: Can you please upload: http://www.stgraber.org/download/ubuntu/italc/ | 11:20 |
| ogra | will do | 11:20 |
| stgraber | fixes the x11vnc issue once and for all and some other things. It's basically exactly what I'd like as 1.0.9 upstream :) | 11:21 |
| ogra | which we'll surely get soon i bet :) | 11:21 |
| stgraber | I hope so, Tobias just needs to merge some of my patches and release it | 11:22 |
| Nubae | ogra: so I took a look at the classmate, and it came pre-installed with ubuntu 7.10! | 14:48 |
| ogra | ugh | 14:49 |
| ogra | how big is the disk ? | 14:49 |
| Nubae | think 4 gigs | 14:49 |
| Nubae | like the asus eeepc | 14:49 |
| ogra | ah, k | 14:50 |
| ogra | the noral cmpc has only two | 14:50 |
| ogra | so if you are lucky you dont have the ompressed install | 14:50 |
| Nubae | it was really quite fast | 14:50 |
| Nubae | yeah no its a regular ubuntu install | 14:50 |
| Nubae | straight from live cd | 14:50 |
| ogra | the 7.10 image i did wasnt for distribution, but it seems some OEMs didnt respect that | 14:50 |
| ogra | (which they are free to do with a free image ... but will get users into troule) | 14:51 |
| Nubae | Iĺl have a closer look this evening at what image it is exactlz | 14:51 |
| ogra | well, if it was installed from libeCD all should be fine | 14:51 |
| Nubae | well, this is a test pc of course.... | 14:51 |
| ogra | thats ok on the 4G | 14:51 |
| Nubae | but its not got any atom based stuff... so I guess installing your image would be the next step right? | 14:52 |
| Nubae | that way we can compare speed/cpu/ram usage | 14:52 |
| ogra | right, as soon as i'm done (no ETA, still fiddling) | 14:52 |
| Nubae | hehe ok, I wont ask again, I know its annoying for you | 14:53 |

| Pierre-Yann | Hi. Have you tried to use hostnames ( i.e. "[client1]") instead of mac addresses to create thin client special sections in lts.conf ? Can't get it working. | 17:31 |
| ogra | you need a proper dns server setup in the client network for that ... i'd go with MAC adresses instead of putting that maintenance overhead on me | 17:34 |
| Pierre-Yann | Oh. I thought it was sufficient to declare host names in the local server /etc/hosts file and /etc/dhcpd.conf... | 17:38 |
| Pierre-Yann | I mean /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf | 17:38 |
| ogra | you could try to copy the hosts file inot the chroot | 17:39 |
| Pierre-Yann | No, then it would be a real overhead to update the chroot every time i change an ip address... | 17:40 |
| ogra | well, either that or a DNS server :) | 17:52 |
| ogra | or stick to MACs ... thats why we did that by default, its a pain to maintain a DNS server and all other parts of ltsp were developed with that in mind ... | 17:53 |
| ogra | but indeed you *can* use one if you want :) | 17:54 |
| Pierre-Yann | Well, i thought it would be easier to use hostnames: say you want to install a local printer on a thin client: cups needs an ip address, so you assign it with dhcp. Then back again to mac address with lts.conf. Conclusion: to get a local printer you need to modify at least 3 files (dhcpd.conf, lts.conf, cupsd stuff) using 2 different notations (mac address and ip address). Not really convenient. | 18:12 |
| Pierre-Yann | I forgot: i'm supposed to administer 23 Hardy/ltsp servers for a total of approx 450 thin clients. Anything simplifying this task would be appreciated... | 18:16 |
| stgraber | you can have dhcpd automatically create DNS records | 18:17 |
| Pierre-Yann | ok, as long as i can use those hostnames in lts.conf... | 18:18 |
| stgraber | then you'll need to have your DHCP server send that DNS server to the client and they will be able to resolve : clientXYZ.your.lan.com and you'll be able to use that in lts.conf | 18:21 |
| stgraber | (you'll need to google that a bit ...) | 18:21 |
| Pierre-Yann | Ok, i'm gonna google on this. Thx. | 18:22 |
| Pierre-Yann | Not related: thin client manager: works only for first login session on a thin client. Once user logs out (back to ldm screen), x11vnc gently dies in the thin client. Any fix ? | 18:23 |
| stgraber | italc is the new classroom manager since 8.04, we don't maintain tcm anymore | 18:29 |
| ogra | Pierre-Yann, tcm's vnc part never really worked right, if anyone touches that app again my proposal is to drop the tab completely ... use italc,.. its the future :) | 18:38 |
| ogra | stgraber, uploaded now btw, sorry for the delay, had a busy day | 18:41 |
| stgraber | ogra: cool, np | 18:42 |
| stgraber | I just upgraded to Intrepid, relatively stable so far | 18:43 |
| stgraber | and I have my sd card reader working !!! :) | 18:43 |
| ogra | well, mdz had a rough ride :) | 18:43 |
| ogra | (as you can see on -devel-discuss) | 18:43 |
| stgraber | well, I didn't really upgraded :), I saved my /home and reinstalled | 18:43 |
| stgraber | yep, I saw his mail | 18:43 |
| ogra | i still have to stick with hardy until the sprint :/ | 18:44 |
| stgraber | I usually reinstall my lappy with Alpha-1 then upgrade all the time until the Alpha-1 of the next release :) | 18:44 |
| stgraber | nvidia/fglrx drivers are broken, I had to patch my fglrx by hand and restart dkms. Other than that, the intel wireless firmwares were missing and I had to install linux-restricted-modules-common by hand. | 18:47 |
| ogra | stgraber, | 18:57 |
| ogra | Rejected: | 18:57 |
| ogra | Not permitted to upload to the RELEASE pocket in a series in the 'CURRENT' state. | 18:57 |
| ogra | ... | 18:57 |
| ogra | Distribution: hardy | 18:58 |
| ogra | sorry, didnt check before uploading | 18:58 |
| * ogra does a quickfix | 18:58 | |
| ogra | (changed both hardy occurences to intrepid, please fix accordingly in your package) | 19:00 |
| * stgraber wonders why it's hardy in the changelog ... | 19:45 | |
| stgraber | ogra: fixed, thanks | 19:47 |
| stgraber | I guess that was because I was using dch on an hardy system, it didn't check the release of the previous change ... | 19:47 |
| ogra | likely | 19:48 |
| stgraber | hmm, failed on hppa, sparc and ia64 because of a dep problem with qt4. I'll need to ask for a give back once qt is updated there | 19:49 |
| aidy | hi | 23:29 |
