| chrisjrob | I've been testing Edubuntu 8.04 and noticed that the thin client manager is not installed by default and must be added by installing thin-client-manager-gnome (the backend is already installed), could anyone advise whether this is a bug and if so where I should log it? | 11:35 |
|---|---|---|
| ogra | its no bug | 11:36 |
| ogra | we dropped tcm in favour of italc for which the client is installed by default and the control app is shipped on the edubuntu addon CD | 11:37 |
| chrisjrob | thanks ogra! | 11:37 |
| chrisjrob | I guess the documentation is lagging a little behind development...! | 11:37 |
| ogra | as always (sadly) | 11:38 |
| ogra | sorry for that | 11:38 |
| ogra | it shoudl probably be mentioned on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyClassroomServer | 11:38 |
| chrisjrob | yes, that was the page I had followd. thanks for the info ogra. | 11:40 |
| edistar | hello, anyone here using italc? it doesn't seem to work here.. | 13:50 |
| edistar | do I need to start the italc client manually on every client? | 13:50 |
| edistar | and the clients all run locally on the server, how do I connect to them? | 13:56 |
| ogra | there is a special port you need to connect to | 13:58 |
| ogra | use: external_server_ip:port for that | 13:58 |
| * ogra forgot which port that was .... | 13:58 | |
| edistar | ogra: ok, I'll check that then | 14:01 |
| edistar | external_server_ip =? | 14:01 |
| ogra | well, if you have two NICs in your server, the one facing the outside world, not the client network | 14:02 |
| edistar | I only need one NIC | 14:02 |
| ogra | well, then that one i guess | 14:02 |
| edistar | ok | 14:02 |
| ogra | i only tested with a two NIC setup | 14:02 |
| ogra | and it didnt work with the TC network IP | 14:02 |
| edistar | well, I just put the router/gateway into the same network so that other clients not booting via LTSP could also access the internet | 14:07 |
| edistar | so now I don't need the second NIC for internet anymore | 14:08 |
| edistar | ogra: doesn't the port change every time the person logs on? | 14:27 |
| edistar | I don't understand how to set it up.. | 14:29 |
| edistar | http://italc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=ITALC_in_a_ThinClient_environment I tried this | 14:32 |
| edistar | but an echo $DISPLAY does not output the same at all.. | 14:32 |
| ogra | thats al ltsp4.x which is obsolete since 3 years | 14:35 |
| edistar | ogra: ah, ok | 14:35 |
| ogra | stgraber, do you remember the port number for italc (that really needs to go on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iTalc) i cant find your mail to RichEd where you outlined it | 14:37 |
| ogra | and thats my only reference for the port :( | 14:37 |
| edistar | ogra: isn't it 11 + last bit of ip? | 14:38 |
| ogra | something like that | 14:38 |
| ogra | i think it was 10+last bit for ltsp5 | 14:38 |
| edistar | ogra: and localhost doesn't work for ip? | 14:40 |
| edistar | ogra: don't the ips change every boot? or do I need to setup fixed ips for certain MAC addresses then? | 14:42 |
| ogra | they usually dont change unless you have more clients than your IP range defines in dhcpd.conf | 14:46 |
| edistar | ogra: okey.. | 15:16 |
| edistar | ogra: do you think the wiki entry will be updated soon? | 15:17 |
| ogra | if someone updates it :) | 15:17 |
| edistar | then I'll look into that program again in a few days.. | 15:17 |
| ogra | its a wiki, anyone can (*hint*) :) | 15:17 |
| edistar | stgraber could do that ;) | 15:17 |
| edistar | ogra: I don't know exactly what to do, otherwise I'd edit it | 15:18 |
| stgraber | edistar: hi | 16:34 |
| stgraber | edistar: did you try the release we have in the PPA ? it has avahi support and should solve all your ports problem | 16:35 |
| stgraber | italc uses two different ports, one of ISD (service daemon) and one for IVS (vnc server). With LTSP I'm using 10000+last-byte-of-ip and 11000+last-by-of-ip | 16:36 |
| stgraber | the iTalc wiki page still needs a lot of work, the idea would be to have an howto for all possible way of installing it (that's a lot :)). Feel free to update it with your own experience. | 16:37 |
| edistar | stgraber: thanks, will try that | 17:12 |
| edistar | stgraber: I added the repos but it doesn't find any updates | 17:16 |
| edistar | stgraber: so it won't install the ppa version | 17:18 |
| stgraber | you are using Hardy right ? | 17:21 |
| * ogra would assume so for everyone since ltsp in intrepid doesnt work currently | 17:34 | |
| === Nuba1 is now known as Nubae | ||
| edistar | stgraber: yes, I am | 18:55 |
| stgraber | so you should have a proposed upgrade to 1.0.9-rc4 | 19:57 |
| edistar | stgraber: no, dist-upgrade told me that there was nothing to upgrade | 20:04 |
| edistar | stgraber: thanks for your help anyway :) I'll be off.. I'll have another look around in a few days | 20:53 |
