| AndyGraybeal | how do i set it so the screen doesn't lock after 5 minutes of idle time without having all my users login and change it manually. is there a way i can do it from the command line without having them be around? | 18:21 |

| alkisg | I answered in #ltsp | 18:22 |
| AndyGraybeal | thank you | 18:45 |
| dgroos1 | Hi | 20:12 |
| dgroos1 | I'm trying to get the FreeNX server on my server. | 20:12 |
| dgroos1 | I followed the straightforward directions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 20:12 |
| dgroos1 | but when I got to starting it: "sudo /etc/init.d/freenx-server start" as per the directions I got this: | 20:13 |
| dgroos1 | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 20:15 |
| dgroos1 | utility, e.g. service freenx-server start | 20:15 |
| alkisg | That's just a warning, it shouldn't affect anythin | 20:15 |
| alkisg | g | 20:15 |
| alkisg | But neatx is easier to install, if you don't have some specific reason to prefer freenx... | 20:15 |
| alkisg | Anyway, since you already came that far, what does this tell you? sudo invoke-rc.d freenx-server status | 20:16 |
| dgroos1 | Hard to know when things are a warning and when a problem... I'll try... | 20:16 |
| dgroos1 | ... failed: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479016/ | 20:18 |
| alkisg | Freenx was converted to upstart? nice... | 20:19 |
| alkisg | Try: sudo status freenx-server | 20:19 |
| dgroos1 | status: Unknown job: freenx-server | 20:19 |
| dgroos1 | I also tried rebooting... | 20:20 |
| alkisg | dpkg -L freenx-server | grep init | 20:20 |
| alkisg | What does this tell you? | 20:20 |
| dgroos1 | dpkg -L freenx-server | grep init | 20:20 |
| dgroos1 | oops--wrong place :D | 20:21 |
| alkisg | :) | 20:21 |
| dgroos1 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479017/ | 20:22 |
| dgroos1 | and the "init" part is in red on each line... | 20:22 |
| alkisg | What about this: sudo start freenx-server | 20:23 |
| dgroos1 | Unknown job: freenx-server | 20:25 |
| alkisg | Hmmm that doesn't sound good. I haven't tried installing freenx to lucid yet, but according to your dpkg -L, that should work... | 20:26 |
| dgroos1 | alkisg: arrrg! looks like I spaced a step in the install directions--I'll do and get back... | 20:30 |
| alkisg | (installing neatx is just 2 commands with no configuration at all, that's why i prefer it :)) | 20:30 |
| dgroos1 | I'm feeling that right now... | 20:35 |
| dgroos1 | I tried to do the 'missed step': sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install | 20:36 |
| dgroos1 | and got the message 'No such file or directory'. So I went and checked it out, sure enough, nothing by that name though a number of 'nx...' objects. | 20:37 |
| alkisg | dgroos1: no idea, as I said I haven't tried installing freenx on lucid, but I have a few minutes for vnc-based help if you want... | 20:54 |
| dgroos1 | alkisg: just got back and saw your offer. Thanks, I've got some more things to try--seems like another person had a bad install of the sw and reinstalled and it worked. I'll let you know. | 21:25 |
| dgroos1 | alkisg: sure enough, the problem was a missing script file in the package. I'll note that on the wiki page as well as where to download it. | 21:49 |
| alkisg | Eew... better file a bug report about this | 21:49 |
| dgroos1 | NX is working great! I love it. Filed bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/freenx-server/+bug/618906 and improved the ubuntu wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 22:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 618906 in FreeNX Server "freenx package incomplete in lucid" [Undecided,New] | 22:16 |
| alkisg | Which script was missing? | 22:22 |
| alkisg | nm - i just read the bug report :) | 22:25 |
| dgroos1 | alkisg: now on to installing your uber italc script :) | 22:29 |
| alkisg | Hmm? italc? | 22:29 |
| * alkisg stopped using italc about a year ago... | 22:29 | |
| dgroos1 | your italc replacement... | 22:29 |
| dgroos1 | the one you gave me instructions to install on a june 16 list-serve post... | 22:30 |
| alkisg | Ah. Nice, if you want any help ping me | 22:30 |
| dgroos1 | I read these directions: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ts.sch.gr-ppa-lucid.list\ /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list.d BUT... | 22:31 |
| dgroos1 | there was a line break and didn't know what the \ / was :) | 22:31 |
| dgroos1 | help? | 22:31 |
| alkisg | That \ shouldn't be there | 22:31 |
| dgroos1 | 'k | 22:32 |
| dgroos1 | thanks | 22:32 |
| alkisg | Btw, we have some programs in our ppa - you'll get automatic updates for them. E.g. we have neatx in that ppa (so there was no need to add the freenx repository, just an apt-get install neatx-server would be enough), some fixes for ltsp etc | 22:33 |
| dgroos1 | alas... I show have installed your scripts *before* adding nx... | 22:34 |
| alkisg | Ah now i got what the \ was, it's used when a command breaks on 2 lines | 22:35 |
| alkisg | so e.g. this: echo \ | 22:35 |
| alkisg | hi | 22:35 |
| alkisg | is the same as: echo hi | 22:35 |
| dgroos1 | programming... | 22:36 |
| dgroos1 | OK upon installing the scripts I got this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479086/ should I be concerned? | 22:39 |
| alkisg | Yes - we're using dnsmasq instead of dhcp3-server | 22:40 |
| alkisg | To make ltsp installation easier (e.g. use only 1 nic instead of 2, no need for NATting etc) and to use the dhcp server of the router | 22:41 |
| alkisg | You have an already working ltsp setup, right? | 22:42 |
| dgroos1 | Yes, 64 bit server, 32 bit clients, 2 nics (actually, I've got 3 nics, hope to bind the two giga nics to be 1 as this is for 40 clients or so). | 22:44 |
| alkisg | Are they pci-e nics or just pci nics? | 22:44 |
| dgroos1 | not sure... how can I find out? | 22:45 |
| alkisg | (also, we don't use 64-bit servers as they're not recommented by ubuntu - flash problems etc) | 22:45 |
| dgroos1 | will that be an issue? | 22:45 |
| dgroos1 | I mean, using your scripts on this 64 bit server? | 22:46 |
| alkisg | With sch-scripts? I don't think so, I suppose they'll work fine | 22:46 |
| alkisg | What are your client specs? cpu/ram? | 22:46 |
| dgroos1 | most are p4, 512 RAM, at least 1.8 GHz | 22:47 |
| alkisg | Are you planning on operating them as thin clients or as fat? | 22:47 |
| dgroos1 | Also have P3 with 512 RAM and 933 MHz | 22:47 |
| dgroos1 | I used them last year as localapps, was going to continue this. | 22:48 |
| alkisg | ok | 22:48 |
| alkisg | Run this command to prevent dnsmasq from messing with your dhcp3-server: sudo dpkg-divert --divert /etc/dnsmasq.diverted --rename /etc/init.d/dnsmasq | 22:51 |
| dgroos1 | Did it. Thanks! I'll continue on with the directions upon returning from an errand. I'll probably have questions for you... tomorrow your time? | 22:53 |
| alkisg | Sure, good luck | 22:54 |
