Re: [Ltsp-discuss] DHCP issue

[Dan Stromberg <strombrg@dc...>]

Also, if you have a linksys wrt54g (and some other routers as well), you
can install alternative firmware (since linksys wrt54g{,s}'s run linux)
that will enable bridging.

RE: [Ltsp-discuss] Odd USB mouse behavior

[Paul Glanville <gkp@ma...>]

OK, I have a 99% solution for the problem.

After comparing the lsmods as Jim suggested, I discovered that neither Knop=
pix nor Fedora load usbmouse when there are USB mice present (as LTSP does)=
, so I went to the client=B4s shell and typed:
>rmmod usbmouse
The response was:
>usb.c: Deregistering driver usbmouse
>input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [0d3d:0001] on usb1:3.1
This was encouraging, so I switched to the GUI and the PS/2 mouse was worki=
ng properly via the USB<>PS/2 converter - Success!

I then tried playing with the startup scripts (usb.rc in particular), but n=
othing seemed to have a positive effect. I ended up creating a script in rc=
.d to remove the offending driver, then added "RCFILE_01 =3D noUSBmouse" to=
 lts.conf. This works well.

My guess is that LTSP needs usbmouse to perform some initialization functio=
n(s), but that it later gets in the way and must be removed. usbmouse does =
not even seem to be required for USB mice, as when I plug a USB mouse in af=
ter the system starts up it is immediately recognized and works (in *additi=
on* to the mouse connected via the USB<>PS/2 converter!). This parallels my=
 experience with Fedora and Knoppix.

I say this is a 99% solution because the script seems to be called twice - =
despite there only being one place in the initialization sequence where the=
 script might be called. This does not seem to have any ill effects, so it=
=B4s more of a curious annoyance than anything else.

Side note: Neither Fedora nor Knoppix load usbkbd either, but rmmod=B4ing t=
his module seems to occasionally cause odd behavior. It seems better to lea=
ve this one alone...

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

I cannot report that this is a comprehensive solution or that it will work =
on all USB<>PS/2 converters, so my experience should be considered anecdota=
l.
My particular converter is an Omega Technologies #UAPS13.

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Thanks to Jim for illuminating the path that ultimately led to the solution.
And Jim, I hope that you read this before you get to the "War and Peace" em=

[Ltsp-discuss] NASD sound

[david kwok <dkwok@iw...>]

Hi Folks

I have been fiddling with NAS on LTSP for awhile. I sort of having it 
working but not quite there yet which prompted this post.

I have followed Richard June 's article, Configuring ARTS to work with 
LTSP servers and terminals and another article, LTSP arts Howto, both 
can be found on http://www.bravegnuworld.com/~rjune/ltsp/audio/

However, I can't quite follow Richard's  instructions on Configuring 
ARTS. I have compiled and built NAS, recompile arts to recognize the 
presence of NAS. By default the compiled binary is installed on 
/usr/local/KDE which is not being picked up by the system start up. 
However, I set the install directory to overwriter the original artsd 
binary. I don't follow steps on reinstalling NAS for LTSP, point iv. In 
which he asks readers to run ltspadmin to install ltsp_core.

I use auplay to play KDE_Startup.wav and the music plays on my terminal. 
It looks like NAS is working properly on the thin client.

I open kde-control-centre and go to the sound I/O tab and I change the 
I/O method to nas. This is a sign that artsd is recompiled successfully 
and recognise NAS. And I checked every box on the tab there except for 
'Enable network transparency' and 'Exchange security and reference info 
over X11 server'.

And test the sound by pressing the button. Nothing heard from the terminal.

I kill the artsd process and start it using the command console and also 
increase the debug level. If I click the test button. The console has 
shown "play /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Start.wav" and also gives output when 
it is finished. However, no sound can be heard. Same as Xmms, I can see 
output and arts seems to be receiving input from the appls but somehow 
it is not sent to the terminal.

Can anyone point me to the right direction in diagnose this problem.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Anyone using DXPC?

[Dan Elder <delder@no...>]

	I've had a lot of success with both the commercial NX server and the
open source FreeNX server in my lab environment.  The commercial server
let me kill a thin client then log into a different one and have
everything exactly as I left it.  You could do the same thing with vnc
but you should tunnel it over ssh or something similar if you're at all
concerned about security since vnc sends everything in the clear and
there are a lot of readily available tools for recording vnc traffic.
NX also has the distinction of having incredible compression.  I
wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't tested it but I had a full
remote Gnome session in under 10 kilobits/sec and the only way you could
tell it wasn't native was that pixmaps and things like that had that
"vnc look" to them.  If you turn down the compression some it looks just
fine.  This might not be necessary if all your machines are on a LAN but
if you want to put the server and clients on different sides of a
minimal WAN link it's a killer feature.
	I set it up based on the the instructions that came with the NX_LTSP
package at http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WorkInProgress that
someone at Symbiont appears to have made.  All in all it took probably
an hour to setup and part of that was waiting for my demo license from
NoMachine to show up.  If you need any other help let me know.
	Cheers,
	Dan

You will probably have to edit the xdmcp configuration by hand. It is
not so difficult, but the actual procedure is different depending on
which display manager you use. If you use GDM and gnome, you can use the
graphical configuration tool for it, or edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and set
enabled=true in the [xdmcp] section. Search the internet for how to do
it in kdm or xdm (or you might be able to do it from the KDE
configuration tool).

Just search on google and see. If you still can't fix it then just come
back with more details about your setup (distro, display manager and
desktop environment).

Atul,

Do you control the router and the network? If so, you can probably disable the router as a dhcp server and use your ltsp server to serve up addresses. Is this an option?

You tow NIC setup. One NIC controls the LTSP network while the LTSP box acts as gateway and connects to you router. OR if you can program the router dhcpd...then let it point to LTSP box for the clients....???

If that internet router DHCP does not hand out "filename", you should be OK, 
because your terminals should just ignore offers from there. In that case, 
set up a dhcp daemon on your terminal server, declare it "not authoritative", 
DO NOT use a range statement, but one

host myhostname {
 hardware ethernet 00:c0:1d:c0:ff:ee;
 fixed address 192.168.12.34;
 filename "/vmlinuz.ltsp";
}

like stanza per host. Be sure to use IP addresses that are not used by the 
router (they mostly can be configured to only use e.g. ....100 to ...199 only 
or similar. Even easier it would be to switch off DHCP altogether on that 
box, but if that's no option....

If your router hands out filenames, this is going to be ugly. In that case, 
you need to use alternate DHCP ports ....  should be documented in the LTSP 
wiki.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] ssh agent and gconfd-2 stay running

[John Beckett <johnrbeckett@ya...>]

Maybe it isn't a good idea, but I've installed "slay"
from debian on my FC2 server. Slay kills off all
processes belonging to a specific userid. I then added


if [ "$USER" != "root" ] ; then
  rm -rf /tmp/*
  slay $USER
fi

to /etc/X11/gdm/PostSession/Default

Now slay completely kills off all userid processes on
logout.

If this isn't a good idea, I'd be interested as to
why...It seems to work great at killing off zombies.
Before "slay" zombie firefox and KDE stuff would pile
up. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to LTSP.

Have seen something simular before.
In my case
gconfd kept 'running' because another app for the same user didn't stop.
As soon as I killed that 'other' app, gconfd would stop (after 1 to 30 
seconds)

Try killing manually the ssh-agent process and see if the gconfd procees 
dissappear after x sec of time.
If yes you know that you have to find a solution to stop ssh-agent...

Makes sence?

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Anyone using DXPC?

[Dan Stromberg <strombrg@dc...>]

There's been work on VNC+zebedee+LTSP and NX+LTSP.

I've done some VNC+zebedee stuff myself, and have something I consider
resistant to replay attacks, but not MITM attacks.  It's reasonably
fast.  It helps a lot on high latency networks.  My code could really
use some polishing up, and probably a daemon for stopping and starting
Xvnc's and zebedee's on the server.

NX is supposed to be blazingly fast even on very low bandwidth networks
- and probably high latency nets as well, since apparently you can use
one or more proxies with it.

I ran across a script for setting up LBX recently, but the author
suspects that NX is a more modern alternative.

I haven't heard much about DXPC for some time, and never in an LTSP
context.

[Ltsp-discuss] ssh agent and gconfd-2 stay running

[Techs <junk@ti...>]

Hello

Using the new release of K12 4.2. The only issue seems to be that after
a user logs off 2 processes stay running. They are ssh agent and I
think the second is gconfd-2. If the user logs on 5 times there will be 5 sets
of processes. Each is only a few meg but it adds up. It is an issue at all 4
locations. The users are using ice by default but the option for gnome is there.

Thanks for any help

If you're using D-S-L, then you aren't doing LTSP.  That said, you can
do this.

First, treat the 64MB  CF as your root partition; it gets everything you
need to boot, and nothing else.  This means /boot, /etc, /lib, /bin, and
/sbin.  You will need smbclient and its libraries, but you won't need
nfsclient.

Then copy /usr to your SMB server.
mv /usr /usr2
# This moves your /usr out of the way,
# where your system can't use it to 
# cheat on the tests but where you can
# still get to it if we've left anything out.

mkdir /usr
# Make a place for SMB://usr to mount
# edit /etc/fstab and add an entry for /usr.
mount /usr

Once you've moved /usr to your SMB server, move /var and  /home.  /var
is much easier to move than /usr, and /home should be a piece of cake. 
You should reboot a time or two to make sure that everything works, then
delete the old /usr2, /var2, and /home2 directories.

Good luck!

I would add http://www.etherboot.org and http://www.rom-o-matic.net (for
precompiled roms and disk images).  Etherboot supports most common cards
and a lot of rare (and otherwise unsupported cards).  The 5.3.x version
added support for PXE to the various other supported images.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] localdev: autofs problem

[<dave@tr...>]

Well I'm not sure if its your configuration file but one of your usernames=
=20
have a / on it.

I would suggest using SubMount. (subfs) Because even when Automount is=20
working you need to cd into the directory first i believe.

[Ltsp-discuss] Windows as ltsp server?

[ajpearce <ajpearceuk@gm...>]

How do I get Windows to act as a linux thinclient server?

Actually my thinclient has a 64mb compact flash card with
damnsmalllinux on it and I'd like to give it access to more storage
but I only have a Windows computer available. So tftpd isn't a
requirement.

I don't think just samba and NTFS will work will it because permission
support is not good enough; /dev and proc would go crazy?

Found it hard to google for this but I'm sure it's probably an FAQ? If
so I'm very sorry.
