| mhall119 | highvoltage, got my first Qimo 2.0 packages built! | 03:35 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | so Scratch doesn't look to be in the repos, anybody have suggestions on something I can use in place of eToys? | 14:01 |

| AlanBell | I am playing with wiimote whiteboard stuff at the moment | 22:50 |
| AlanBell | it would be rather good to get it packaged for Ubuntu | 22:50 |
| AlanBell | it is a python app, with a few dependencies, all in the repos | 22:52 |
| AlanBell | http://github.com/pnegre/python-whiteboard | 22:53 |
| AlanBell | there is also this one http://www.stepd.ca/gtkwhiteboard/ | 22:54 |
| AlanBell | I will have a go at packaging it at some point in the next few weeks | 22:55 |
| AlanBell | but I am a bit of a newbie to the whole packaging thing. If anyone wants to help that would be great. | 22:55 |
| AlanBell | I think it would be amazing if someone could install Ubuntu, install the whiteboard app and then with a wiimote and a projector and a £10 IR pen have an interactive whiteboard | 22:57 |
| stgraber | As been a while I wanted to test that though haven't had the chance yet | 22:59 |
| stgraber | at this point, it's extremely unlikely something new enters Lucid as we have our Feature Freeze on Thursday but it's clearly something we should look at, east least for Lucid+1 | 22:59 |
| alkisg | AlanBell: did those apps work for you? | 23:01 |
| stgraber | alkisg: I just did a test with VBox, it booted just fine ... | 23:13 |
| alkisg | stgraber: hmm... except for that vbox problem, I also have a problem with tftpd-hpa not starting at boot. | 23:14 |
| alkisg | stgraber: what settings do you use in vbox? | 23:14 |
| alkisg | networking / pae etc? | 23:14 |
| stgraber | alkisg: I used the usual one, bridged using the VT extension of my CPU, PAE enabled + 3D graphic | 23:15 |
| stgraber | alkisg: http://pastebin.com/f69a74c92 | 23:15 |
| * alkisg shrugs... I can reproduce the problem here 100% - removing nbd-proxy make it work, reinstalling it make it halt | 23:15 | |
| stgraber | alkisg: can you try: ltsp-update-image --arch i386 -n | 23:16 |
| stgraber | I'm wondering if that's my use of -n that solves the issue ;) | 23:16 |
| stgraber | (as it had fixed quite a lot of stability issue for me in the past) | 23:16 |
| alkisg | trying... | 23:17 |
| alkisg | (btw do you see any speed difference with -n? ) | 23:17 |
| stgraber | not really no, it's using slightly more bandwidth and less CPU but that's about it | 23:18 |
| stgraber | though most squashfs issues I had sometime, completely vanished once I started using -n | 23:18 |
| runout | hi, for the wii whiteboard i found some packages which did not work. they claim to have a problem with the bluetooth stack of bluez | 23:18 |
| runout | following seems to work (last post with download) http://code.google.com/p/linux-whiteboard/issues/detail?id=22 | 23:19 |
| alkisg | stgraber: nah, the same | 23:23 |
| alkisg | bs=1024, sz=537016, and then hangs | 23:23 |
| stgraber | alkisg: can you boot without nbd-proxy, then do: | 23:25 |
| stgraber | - nbd-proxy <server ip> 2000 2000 | 23:25 |
| stgraber | - nbd-client /dev/nbd1 127.0.0.1 2001 | 23:25 |
| stgraber | - mkdir -p /mnt/test | 23:25 |
| stgraber | - mount /dev/nbd1 /mnt/test | 23:25 |
| alkisg | With break=mount ? | 23:25 |
| stgraber | something should fail at some point doing that | 23:25 |
| stgraber | alkisg: nope, just boot the thin client as usual and do that from the shell | 23:26 |
| alkisg | ok | 23:26 |
| stgraber | it won't disconnect the existing nbd connection so it shouldn't be a problem | 23:26 |
| alkisg | btw I also tried with your client (.xml), no difference | 23:26 |
| * alkisg also notes that he's using the default generic-pae kernel... (i386) | 23:28 | |
| stgraber | I'm on Lucid amd64 on my laptop (where the VM was running), actual thin client is an Intel Atom one with 512MB of RAM and gigabit network to the server | 23:29 |
| stgraber | I have 10 or so of them at the office running on Lucid, some as thin client, some as fat. All with the latest packages from my PPA | 23:29 |
| alkisg | nbd-proxy 10.160.31.10 2000 2000 | 23:31 |
| alkisg | Hangup | 23:31 |
| alkisg | From syslog: Feb 14 01:32:29 alkis nbd_server[11106]: Read failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device | 23:32 |
| stgraber | alkisg: interesting, that's lucid 32bit right ? | 23:33 |
| alkisg | Yup | 23:33 |
| stgraber | I'll get you a debug version then, hang on a sec | 23:33 |
| stgraber | alkisg: http://www.stgraber.org/download/nbd-proxy | 23:35 |
| stgraber | alkisg: make it executable and run it with: ./nbd-proxy 10.160.31.10 2000 2000 2> debug.log | 23:35 |
| stgraber | you should then have a full debug log in debug.log | 23:36 |
| alkisg | stgraber: I tried again the same line (with the original nbd-proxy) and it worked! | 23:36 |
| stgraber | hmm, something is really wrong then ... | 23:36 |
| stgraber | so running the same thing two times failed the first time and worked the second ? | 23:36 |
| alkisg | Yes | 23:36 |
| alkisg | Let me reboot and test it again... | 23:37 |
| alkisg | Yes, again the same thing | 23:38 |
| alkisg | (so a quick fix would be to run it twice :P) | 23:38 |
| alkisg | ok, putting the debug version... | 23:38 |
| stgraber | does it die the first time ? | 23:38 |
| stgraber | it's supposed to fork into background | 23:38 |
| stgraber | so you would have to check with "ps aux" | 23:38 |
| alkisg | It just says "Hangup" - I didn't look at ps | 23:39 |
| alkisg | The second time, it doesn't fork to the background | 23:39 |
| alkisg | It just waits - I thought it woulnd't fork.. | 23:39 |
| stgraber | hmm, ok, so it's actually behaving as it should ... | 23:39 |
| stgraber | it's supposed to fork and say "hangup" (I don't remember why the "hangup") | 23:40 |
| stgraber | and if it's already running, then it'll hang until the previous instance is killed | 23:40 |
| stgraber | (as it can't listen twice on the same port) | 23:40 |
| alkisg | Ah | 23:40 |
| alkisg | Yeah, I see it on the processes list | 23:40 |
| stgraber | what's happening if you do that nbd-client ? | 23:40 |
| alkisg | Error: cannot open NBD: No such file or directory | 23:41 |
| alkisg | Please ensure the 'nbd' module is loaded. | 23:41 |
| alkisg | with: nbd-client /dev/nbd1 127.0.0.1 2001 | 23:41 |
| stgraber | my bad | 23:42 |
| stgraber | nbd-client 127.0.0.1 2001 /dev/nbd1 | 23:42 |
| stgraber | that should work better | 23:42 |
| alkisg | Error: Connect: Connection refused | 23:42 |
| alkisg | should that be 2001 or 2000? | 23:42 |
| stgraber | yeah ... seems like I'm half-asleep and it's not even late here ... :) | 23:43 |
| alkisg | with 2000 it connects but I get a whole lot of errors | 23:43 |
| stgraber | what kind of error ? | 23:43 |
| alkisg | Buffer I/O error on device nbd1, logical block 1 | 23:43 |
| alkisg | nbd1: Attempted send on closed socket | 23:44 |
| stgraber | oh, interesting | 23:44 |
| stgraber | is nbd-proxy still running ? | 23:44 |
| alkisg | Uh, ok, pressing ctrl+z / bg to check... | 23:44 |
| alkisg | Yes, it is | 23:45 |
| stgraber | ok, then I'm going to need some debug info I guess ;) | 23:45 |
| alkisg | nbd-client died though. I rerun it and now it hanged on "Negotiation:" | 23:45 |
| stgraber | restart the VM to get the kernel in a sane state | 23:45 |
| alkisg | stgraber: I can also give you vnc access if you want... | 23:45 |
| stgraber | alkisg: that'd be great | 23:46 |
| alkisg | I usually do it with x11vnc -connect, but you'd need vncviewer -listen and a port forwarding for that, any other ideas? | 23:46 |
| alkisg | Ah, silly me | 23:47 |
| alkisg | Sorry, I'll just port forward 5900 | 23:47 |
