[Bug 154685] Re: [Gutsy Final Release] System> Preferences> Sessions is broken!

2008-08-25 Thread Jordan Erickson
This bug is still present in Hardy 8.04.1 - this is pretty embarrassing,
isn't it? To have a bug like this, with basic functionality not working
through 2 major releases?

I had a set of apps starting up at one point in time, and was never able
to remove them via System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Session Options
tab -> "Remember Currently Running Applicatons" button. I've clicked the
button with NO running apps, logged out and back in, and the same set of
old apps kept starting up.

The only thing I found is that 'rm ~/.gnome2/sessions' is a workaround.
Hardly a fix for a "feature" that's been around for so long in
Gnome/Ubuntu, with a nice GUI and all. Why isn't anyone paying attention
to things like this?

Yikes.. libxcb priority is "Low" ? That's surprising, given that
(presumably) because of libxcb, Java applications are pretty much
unusable in LTSP environments.

I can confirm this bug on Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS running with LTSP5.

I can also confirm the fix of replacing the Hardy version of:

/usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0

With the Gutsy version, as described in above comment. I have performed
this fix on 2 separate LTSP networks and it seems to work fine, with no
ill effects. The problem definitely lies in the changes made in the
Hardy version of said file (linking to XCB? Not sure.)

I can confirm this behavior in Hardy 8.04.1, on 9 different servers that

I can confirm the workaround of adding the user to the "lpadmin" group
to bypass the prompt for a password and add a printer, whereas before it
would continually ask for a password, even when entering it correctly.

This issue probably affects anyone trying to add a printer that isn't

I strongly agree this should be more than "wishlist" - it hinders the
normal ability for users to add printers, and does not give you the
information required to understand the fact that you need to be a part
of the 'lpadmin' group. I personally have been dealing with this bug for
a long time, and just now have been able to sift through the (numerous)
bug reports involving this very issue. It should be treated as
Medium/High.

[Bug 302158] [NEW] MASTER: system-config-printer doesn't accept password when user is not in 'lpadmin' group

2008-11-25 Thread Jordan Erickson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

Please mark all other related bugs to this bug as a duplicate so we can
track them.

ISSUE:
Running 'system-config-printer' as a user (even a user as a member of group 
'admin') gets prompted when adding/modifying printers, but the password prompt 
re-appears, even when the correct password is entered. ONLY when the user is a 
member of the group 'lpadmin' does system-config-printer allow changes (or when 
running with sudo priviliges).

HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1) Add a new user
2) Add the new user to group 'admin'
3) Log in with new user and launch System -> Administration -> Printing
4) Attempt to add or modify a printer. Apply settings
5) Enter user's password when prompted
6) Notice the password prompt re-appears when correct password is entered

>From this, I believe that 'system-config-printer' needs to:
1) Use PAM calls (for situations such as LDAP authentication) instead of 
looking directly in /etc/group
2) Honor the 'admin' group as a system administrator and allow modification of 
printers and their settings without prompting for a password
3) Prompt user to require 'lpadmin' membership instead of simply returning to a 
password prompt with no information on how to resolve the issue of not being 
able to modify printers (this shouldn't be necessary if #2 is fixed, rather it 
should either require information to be displayed to the user to be added to 
'admin' group to modify printers, or modify the .desktop file to use gksudo by 
default).

This is a bug, as far as I can tell, going back to Gutsy (at least) when
system-config-printer was introduced in Ubuntu. I have reproduced this
bug on 9 different Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04.1 servers I administrate. Not
sure if it's fixed in Intrepid, maybe someone can comment on that.

PLEASE let me know if there's more information I can provide. This is
most likely affecting a ton of Ubuntu users, and is perplexing to
troubleshoot without manually scouring LP for bugs.

Not sure if I should add a new bug for this, but I experience the same
"issue" in a physical install of fully updated Jaunty 64-bit w/Compiz
enabled. Mouse-over will 'hide' the notification, and taking the mouse
cursor away will 'unhide' it. To me, this always appeared as a rendering
bug. It just doesn't seem very useful to hide and unhide just because
your mouse cursor hovers over it, it seems more invasive and distracting
actually. Maybe if there was an option to set the opacity of *all*
notifications via gconf..

So I think we've narrowed this down to gnome-panel (Ubuntu at least)...?

Can we get people to comment on whether this affects more than Ubuntu? I
don't have any other distributions as virtual machines (I will soon,
but...) so if anyone is using Fedora, Debian, openSuSE, etc. can you
quickly add a drawer to the Gnome panel, add some items to it, then
open/close it and report whether this bug is present there as well?
Let's get this thing taken care of, it's been way too long since this

Anthony, you should try the lts.conf option "LDM_DIRECTX = True" to
disable SSH tunneling temporarily for your LTSP network. Reboot your
thin clients with that option and try again. If Evolution speeds up, you
can be certain that it's an SSH tunneling issue with Evolution rather
than simply a remote X issue.

[Bug 281498] Re: /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup has bashisms

2008-11-03 Thread Jordan Erickson
UPDATE: At 2 school sites, I have fixed the quoting issue to reflect the
following:

---
if [ -n "$(ps ax|grep nbd$i)" ]; then
---

and went through the motions - rebuilt the image, rebooted thin-clients,
etc. etc...

This seems to have helped the "Invalid operator" message upon TC bootup,
but definitely has NOT fixed the issue of clients sitting at
"Negotiation: " during nbd_swap file creation on the server. I see that
'dd' processes are running on the server, with little CPU time, yet I/O
seems to be starved when multiple 'dd' processes are running
simultaneously (such as when more than a few thin-clients are booted up
at the same time, which is common practice when you have a lab full of
thin clients, booting them all up at the beginning of the school day).
They seem to sit for 2-4 minutes, depending on how many are being booted
up at the same time. Because of the supposed I/O saturation, other
server functions such as DHCP are unable to process, causing some thin-
clients with flash memory to boot to that after failing to obtain an IP
address via PXE/network boot.

I have tried what was suggested to me in #ltsp: a "elevator=deadline"
I/O scheduler that is supposedly more suited for LTSP environments.
This, after first test, reported "better" than the previous bootups, but
still caused many machines to boot to flash because of not obtaining an
IP address.

It would be greatly appreciated to have someone to help with this issue
ASAP. It is critical to so many LTSP sites, that I'm wondering how
anyone can reliably use nbd_swap functionality in Ubuntu. Thank you, and
as always, I will help test any proposed solution/patch!


Cheers,

2008-11-05 Thread Jordan Erickson
I just installed Tuxpaint on my own LTSP server and launched with my
thin-client (a LTSP-Term 1220PXE available from disklessworkstations.com
and 100% supported by LTSP ) and will attach the following strace. The
strace contains data from me simply starting Tuxpaint, drawing an "X" on
the blank slate, adding 4 "Stamps" (2 of one Tux face and 2 of another),
and then attempting to exit. When I exit, it asks me if I'm done, and I
clicked Yes. It asked me if I wanted to save, and I said No. From there,
the program locked up and I had to 'killall -9 tuxpaint' to close it.
Normal 'killall tuxpaint' wouldn't work.

Note that on my single LTSP thin-client, starting Tuxpaint took 55% of
the CPU time, which is:

I hope this information helps. I have a 7 schools ready to use Tuxpaint
for the younger students, but this is preventing us from doing so in our
LTSP environment. Please ask if there's any more troubleshooting  I can
do.

[Bug 269082] Re: tuxpaint and other tux SDL driven apps slow down and/or freeze thin client terminals (ltsp)

2008-11-05 Thread Jordan Erickson
In response to an earlier comment, I can confirm that using the
--nosound switch with tuxpaint corrects the issue with high CPU usage
and failure to exit cleanly.

Let's have some other people test this by running tuxpaint from a
terminal with the following command:

---
tuxpaint --nosound
---

If this proves to help other LTSP users, maybe we can have some code to
detect whether tuxpaint is being run from a thin-client terminal or not,
and either disable sound accordingly, or fix the actual issue so sound
can be used correctly.

Cheers,
Jordan

2008-11-05 Thread Jordan Erickson
Bill, thanks for such a quick response!

I tried both defendguin and circuslinux - both of them exibit the same
behavior of unclean exit and high CPU usage, and disabling sound with
their respective switches eliminates this issue in, at least, my own
LTSP network running from my single thin-client.

I am confident this issue is coming to a conclusion, and that it affects
a wide range of SDL applications in Linux.

Jeremy,

SDL_AUDIODRIVER='pulse' tuxpaint - fixes the issues experienced.
SDL_AUDIODRIVER='alsa' tuxpaint - does not fix the issues.
SDL_AUDIODRIVER='esd' tuxpaint - fixes the issues.

I'm not an expert in how Pulse Audio routes/emulates other sound daemons
in LTSP, but I can say that I have the default Ubuntu LTSP setup which
uses PA.

[Bug 269541] Re: gconfd-2 becomes orphane when parent process crashes

2008-11-07 Thread Jordan Erickson
This bug causes LTSP users grief without a stale process 'cleanup'
program such as gnome-watchdog. It will cause unexpected behavior when
logged out (thus the gconfd-2 process stays alive) and logging back in,
as there is conflicting processes, causing crashes and other unexpected
GNOME behavior. It should be treated with a higher priority as it
affects virtually all LTSP users.

Gadi,

Wow, great work =) I don't understand a lot of your script but it looks 
to me like this script will also kill stale procs (I.E. not procs in 
another active user session) - is that true? If so, it might be worth 
mentioning that this would replace the unofficial package 
"gnome-watchdog", which does a much similar thing.

It is my stance that most of this should be covered in the

pref file that all other global options are set (and seem to work fine 
besides this one pref).

Philippe, it's great to have workarounds but let's not treat this as a 
"solution" - the problem lies in that /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js 
(which has always been the default global config for Firefox, regardless 
of Xulrunner) does not honor the browser.startup.homepage pref.

I seriously can't believe this bug has been open since 2005. This is

[Bug 107526] Re: rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck

2008-10-02 Thread Jordan Erickson
Not sure how difficult this would be, but why not emulate the "good old
TTY days" and send a broadcast message to all TCs, something like
"Message: Server is going down NOW!", followed by a forced logout to LDM
prompt.. ? Since LDM, according to Roland anyway, can survive a server
reboot, kicking the clients back to a login prompt would be a good
thing, to avoid having to reboot, say, a hundred thin-clients.

Another idea, maybe a hook on the server to warn the admin: "WARNING: XX
number of client sessions are active - continue?"...Oh, oh, and what
about some "shutdown" style options, maybe "Halt/reboot in X
seconds/minutes"... shouldn't be difficult since the functionality
already exists in the shutdown command, and LTSP setups really do sort
of emulate the days in which this functionality was useful...

[Bug 281498] [NEW] /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup has bashisms

2008-10-10 Thread Jordan Erickson
Public bug reported:

Please see the following #ltsp conversation regarding ltsp-client-setup
errors. Ogra should know about this bug already. There might be
repercussions to the specific block of code in question, but I know that
the bashisms shouldn't be there on line 27. Also see
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-
users/2008-October/004652.html for a list discussion.

Cheers,
Jordan/Lns

 Anyone know anything about this regarding LTSP? I'm on-site at one 
school and I'm seeing, during TC bootup, something similar to the following 
right after "Setting up LTSP Client" - ..."Negotiation: Invalid operator" - and 
sometimes it hangs, up to 3-5 minutes, then boots to LDM. I *just* turned on 
NBD_SWAP this week and this is happening at 2 sites...also upgraded the chroot 
with hardy-updates - and that's it. All I've found is this.  
https://bugs.launchpa
 d.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/136410/
 It usually only happens when booting a bunch of clients at once
 I get nothing useful in chroot logs or on the server
<-- Q-FUNK has quit ("Leaving.")
 mccann has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
 [ 27: ?: unexpected operator
 ^^ That's exactly what it says when it hangs
<-- staffencasa has quit ("Leaving")
 So weird, googling shows a lot of kernel-level stuff related to 
that msg
--> johnny ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has joined #ltsp
 wow someone is alive here! =) johnny, have you ever seen " [ 27: 
?: unexpected operator" while booting a TC?
 Lns_onsite: maybe an evil bashism while your using a non bash shell as 
/bin/sh?
 yes
 sounds like it to me
 Ryan52: possibly, yes
 Lns_onsite: so change your /bin/sh :)
 althoguh I'm not sure where it could be, it references no files
 that's cuz Ryan52  is smarter than me
 ;)
 Either something in nbdswapd or in one of the updates in hardy-updates is 
causing this it seems
 it comes right after "Setting up LTSP client"
 is that ltsp-client-setup script?
 (yep it is)
 Lns_onsite, nbd has caused me so much grief over the last couple of 
week that I'm switching to fedora tonight
 monteslu: heh, are you having the same issues? What does fedora 
use, nfs?
 it can use nbd too, but it doesn't by default
 yeah nfs
 I haven't had any issues with NBD until i enabled nbdswap
 I've posted questions to the edubuntu-users list
 I didn't enable anything, but I've been getting tons of nbd error in 
/var/log/messages
 so the default settings are somehow hosed
 monteslu: have you updated your chroot?
 yup
 was it happening before you did that?
 even followed Jordan's advice on the list
 before and after
 heh
* Lns_onsite is Jordan
 hehe
 hey, I updated your ticket
 which one is that? to use *-updates ?
 yeah
 well, i added my 2cents anyway
 ty =) I've been updating the ubuntu ltsp wiki with some of this 
stuff too
 it seemed to be working for a day
 I'm gonna go turn off swap real quick and reboot about 15 stations
 brb
 I've got 70 thin clients and most of them seem to be creating the 
I/O errors about nbd in the log
 hmm, ok turning off nbd_swap in lts.conf and rebooting about 15 
clients didn't give me that msg or hang at ALL
 It's got to be something to do with that
 and if it's just some typo in ltsp-client-setup script...should be trivial to 
fix
 as Ryan52 said maybe i'll just change /bin/sh to /bin/bash... that'll probably 
*$#@ the whole chroot up though ;)
 Lns_onsite, you mean hang on the client startup?
 monteslu: yes
 This thing is grinding my server down.
 At least I think it is
 I can't even do a normal boot
 monteslu: no, my server seems to be fine... althoguh it's a 2x 
dualcore xeon 1.6GHz, 8GB RAM...
 Mine has 8 cores and 16 gigs :)
 hehe
* Lns_onsite got beat
 ooh, and I have two of them
 my ldap server died though, so I'm just using one right now. Which means I can 
test fedora9 on the other tonight
 Ryan52: would the 27 in that "unexpected operator" be the line 
number of the script?
* Lns_onsite doesn't like this cold server room
 beats the hell out of a loud server room with all the alarms going 
off :)
 i mean a warm one
 monteslu: ...yes, yes it does. :p
 brb
 Lns_onsite: I'm pretty sure it is.
 Lns_onsite: changing /bin/sh to bash won't break anything.
 Lns_onsite: bash supports like everything.
 Lns_onsite: if your sure you know which script it is, then just change the 
shebang to bash. that's probably safer.
<-- japerry has quit ()
 Ryan52: Just did that, and it seems to still hang, with an 
additional msg.. "67: Too many arguments"
 Line 67 in ltsp-client-setup is: for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 
13 14; do
 if [ -n $(ps ax|grep nbd$i) ]; then
 NBD_SWAP_DEVICE="/dev/nbd$(($i+1))";
 fi;
 (the if line)
 ugh. switch to nfs and report the bug, is what I'd do. I can't believe 
that this problem was introduced in a stable update.
 Ryan52: do you see anything wrong with those lines, or are you 
just talking in general?
 oh, wait.
 [ -n $(ps ax|grep nbd$i) ]
 change to: [ -n "$(ps ax|grep 

[Bug 281501] [NEW] LTSP configuration does not include necessary nbdswapd stanza in hosts.allow

2008-10-10 Thread Jordan Erickson
Public bug reported:

For NBD_SWAP to function correctly (READ: not leave stale swap files in
/tmp) the following /etc/hosts.allow stanza must be present, but it is
not:


nbdswapd: ALL: keepalive


We must append this to all default LTSP installs in Ubuntu so NBD_SWAP
can function as intended. Thanks!!

[Bug 277331] Re: 'ltsp-build-client' should pull from *-updates repository by default

2008-10-06 Thread Jordan Erickson
Rob, thanks for that - this will work (as a workaround), provided the
LTSP server has the *-updates repository enabled in its own
sources.list.

I would really like to see this 'bug' fixed properly, however, provided
it doesn't step on any Ubuntu policies regarding default repositories.
The main reason I reported this in the first place was that my LTSP
chroot was broken due to the NBD_SWAP default port bug (see description
for bug link) being present in the default packages. It was only fixed
in packages available in hardy-updates, which breaks every default LTSP
installation without manual intervention to pull from the updates repo
(even when using ltsp-build-client to build a brand new chroot).
Shouldn't happen IMHO, and I'm sure a ton of admins have issues with
LTSP (and are complaining on IRC, mailing lists, and LP) because of
these (since fixed) bugs.

[Bug 153356] Re: "Switch User" option available in the close session box

2008-10-06 Thread Jordan Erickson
I can confirm this bug. The workaround I've used in the past is the
following:

Edit GConf key: /desktop/gnome/lockdown: disable_user_switching (enable)
Edit GConf key: /apps/panel/global/disabled_applets (add 
"OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet" w/o quotes into list)

Make both keys mandatory.

This workaround will remove user switching options in Gnome without
having to hack the logout sequence for no confirmation.

[Bug 269188] Re: Extreme slowness, "Firefox is already running" error for >3 users launching Firefox in LTSP environment

2008-09-15 Thread Jordan Erickson
I just updated the Bugzilla Bug 453704 (
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453704 ) with new
information I gathered while troubleshooting one of my problem labs this
afternoon. Here is the text I posted there:

**
Ok - here's the scoop after being on-site and testing out a full lab (35
thin-clients) launching Firefox, with no current ~/.mozilla profile (I nuked
them all before testing), with and withOUT pref("toolkit.storage.synchronous",
0); set in /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js (which will affect ALL users):

--
'toolkit.storage.synchronous' pref NOT set): Running Firefox on local LTSP
server with no profile with the following command:

strace -f -e fsync firefox 2>&1 | fgrep fsync | wc -l

Rendered 99 counts of fsync.
---
'toolkit.storage.synchronous' pref SET): Running Firefox on local LTSP server
with no profile with the following command:

strace -f -e fsync firefox 2>&1 | fgrep fsync | wc -l

Rendered 28 counts of fsync.
---
'toolkit.storage.synchronous' pref NOT set): Running Firefox on local LTSP
server with existing profile (from above) with the following command:

strace -f -e fsync firefox 2>&1 | fgrep fsync | wc -l

And then opening up tabs for slashdot.org, yahoo.com and google.com:

Rendered 48 counts of fsync.
---
'toolkit.storage.synchronous' pref SET): Running Firefox on local LTSP server
with existing profile (from above) with the following command:

strace -f -e fsync firefox 2>&1 | fgrep fsync | wc -l

And then opening up tabs for slashdot.org, yahoo.com and google.com:

Rendered 24 counts of fsync.
--

Ok. So now we have sort of a baseline of how the toolkit pref works for
fsyncing. Now what I did was simulated a full class of students coming in,
logging into Gnome, and, all at the same time, launching Firefox.

Instances of launching a full lab of thin-client firefox sessions, with NO
profile, were pretty different when 'toolkit.storage.synchronous' was set as
opposed to not. Without it set, we waited for about 15 minutes, and only about
1/2 of the thin-clients had launched Firefox. WITH it set, again, with new
profiles (I nuke them every time), it took about 5 minutes for all systems to
launch Firefox. Better, but still really really bad.

I used the following command on 3 different thin-clients to guage where firefox
was hanging. I saw a commonality through all of them - it would hang at this
point in the strace:

---
stat64("/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/components/nsWebHandlerApp.js",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=6920, ...}) = 0
open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY)   = 15
read(15,
---

RIGHT at the "read(15, " it would hang for 3-8 minutes before it proceeded
through and load Firefox. "15" was also "19" and "23" - not sure if this
matters. Sometimes it would proceed through and load the UI, sometimes it would
process a bunch more strace info and then hang on another "read(19, " line.
AND, it wasn't always right after the "nsWebHandlerApp.js" line - a couple of
other times it was here:

---
open ("/dev/random", 0_RDONLY)  = 19
(read (19,
---

And it would hang.


AFTER launching the UI (finally), I saw (which might be completely normal) a
continuous cycle of the following in strace:

---
gettimeofday({1221521746, 829628}, NULL) = 0
read(3, 0x8075324, 4096)= -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8,
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12,
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14,
events=POLLIN}], 7, 0) = 0
---
It would hang at "poll( "and cycle through these messages.


You can find the 3 different workstations' strace logs, with and without the
toolkit pref enabled, here: http://logicalnetworking.net/other/ac/


I really hope this information helps. After seeing this happen with my own two
eyes, I have to say...wow.

[Bug 269188] Re: Extreme slowness, "Firefox is already running" error for >3 users launching Firefox in LTSP environment

2008-09-16 Thread Jordan Erickson
Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453704#c9  -
regarding the use of /dev/random and entropy running out, causing all
other entropy-consuming applications (such as other instances of FF3
creating and/or loading profiles) to hang and wait for entropy to build
back up - which is presumably minimal on LTSP servers, as there is
usually no local input events, as well as presumably little/no random
input from LTSP clients (other than possibly network related, which I
have been told is of minimal influence to gathering entropy compared to
local input events).

There is a proposed workaround I have that I'll be testing tomorrow.
I'll post my results.

[Bug 269188] [NEW] Extreme slowness, "Firefox is already running" error for >3 users launching Firefox in LTSP environment

2008-09-11 Thread Jordan Erickson
Public bug reported:

---
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1
Firefox 3.0.1
LTSP Environment
Various sites, various thin-clients, same server (HP Proliant ML370 G5, 2x 
dualcore Xeon 1.6GHz CPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB SAS
---

I'll just paste in what seems to be the common problem here amongst 4 of 
my schools, when there is a full class of ~35 students logging on and 
trying to launch Firefox (these are all different people sending me 
e-mails):

-
Just had a class in here and they went on Firefox, it took about 4 
minutes to get them all on.  First 5 popped up right away then it 
started to slow down.  Had 3 stations that after everyone was in I had 
them click on the browser icon and they go right on.
---
Four or five students were able to start working in typingmaster (within 
Firefox).  For the rest, it told them they were already in Firefox.
---
It took 15 minutes for 20 computers to logon to Firefox.  The first one 
took 10 seconds, the next 20 seconds, the 6th one to try and come up had 
the "Already Open" error.  After 20 minutes I went back into 
Apps/firefox with the remaining workstations and all but two went in.  
Workstations s8, s9 have the error message.
---

Tested Firefox today with a class of 20. About half could get on 1 at 
a time, the other half froze up the desktop and kids couldn't even 
logoff Ubuntu.

-


After a ton of research for the past 3 days, I've come up with the 
following potential fixes which have sped things up just a bit, but 
definitely do not solve the core "Firefox is already running" (and most 
of the slowness) issues:  http://lns.wikidot.com/firefox3ltspoptimizations

These are all beefy HP Proliant servers, 2xdualcore Xeon CPUs, 8GB RAM, 
so horsepower shouldn't be an issue. Gutsy + FF2 worked beautifully, 
this only started happening at the beginning of this school year, after 
I had upgraded all servers to Hardy+FF3 over Summer break.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log 10 different users into separate Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTSP client sessions
2. Launch Firefox 3 in all user sessions at the same time
3. 
Actual Results:  
Extreme slowness in launching Firefox, random "Firefox is already running"
error message popping up with users, extremely high CPU usage (30-60% usage on
2x dualcore Xeon 1.6GHz CPUs) with all running Firefox processes at idle. Some
users will experience "Starting Firefox" on bottom Gnome panel, and then it
will disappear (no Firefox gets launched)

Expected Results:  
Firefox should launch normally for all users, with minimal CPU usage, and no
"Firefox is already running" errors popping up.

Running 'firefox' from a terminal yields no output.

[Bug 269196] [NEW] KUser broken when used from Gnome

2008-09-11 Thread Jordan Erickson
Public bug reported:

I like to use KUser to manage users/groups. However, the default package
installation and subsequent launch via Gnome Applications -> System
Tools -> KUser menu results in the following error: "Cannot open
/etc/shadow for reading". It does not ask for my password, rather
attempts to launch without escalating my privileges:

The default "exec= " line in /usr/share/applications/kde/kuser.desktop is:
Exec=kuser %i %m -caption "%c"

I must modify the default /usr/share/applications/kde/kuser.desktop "exec= " 
line to reflect the following to get it to work:
Exec=gksudo kuser

I'm guessing the default "exec= " line reflects variables present only
in a KDE session, although this is just a guess.

I should also add that following the error, it *does* allow me into the

does not actually commit them. Very confusing to someone that might not

This has been an issue since Gutsy (7.10). I recall talking with one of 
the developers a long time ago, he seemed to see something pretty basic 
as to at least speed things up a *bit* that had to do with SDL 
refreshing or something (it's been a LONG time so forgive me if I'm wrong).

[Bug 269541] Re: gconfd-2 becomes orphane when parent process crashes

2008-09-12 Thread Jordan Erickson
Please also see http://logicalnetworking.net/other/watchdog.txt and
search for all instances of 'gconfd-2' . Seems that it is pretty common
for it to hang around upon normal exit of an LTSP TC session, which
package "gnome-watchdog" sees and forcefully kills to keep stale
processes to a minimum.

[Bug 269188] Re: Extreme slowness, "Firefox is already running" error for >3 users launching Firefox in LTSP environment

2008-09-12 Thread Jordan Erickson
wollow, I also see that some users will have more success *after*
attempting 2-4 launches that have previously failed (and caused the
whole Gnome session to somehow become unstable). By no means a
"workaround" or that it makes the bug less relevant, but maybe some
useful troubleshooting info. Generally, I have heard from my sites that
they have had more success getting entire classes on after 2-4 attempts
on different days of failing.

Please see IRC log I had today in #firefox (irc.mozilla.org) - Notably
the conversation between "Lns" and "mzz", which details a lot about this
situation, and possible troubleshooting steps. I will be trying the "
toolkit.storage.synchronous " pref at one of my sites on Monday
hopefully, and will report the outcome. Others are welcome to test
anything in there as well, and please report your outcome.

[Bug 259163] [NEW] users-admin does not sort when Name/Login/Homedir field clicked

2008-08-18 Thread Jordan Erickson
Public bug reported:

Using:
Ubuntu 8.04.1 (Desktop i386)
gnome-system-tools 2.22.0-0ubuntu9
---

This is probably the main reason that I train my clients to use KUser
instead of the default users-admin tool in Gnome - you cannot sort the
fields alphabetically (which is a big problem when you have hundreds of
users).

When running users-admin from shell, and attempting to sort by "Name",
the following output is as follows:

---
(users-admin:14188): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_sortable_get_sort_column_id: 
assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_SORTABLE (sortable)' failed

(users-admin:14188): Gtk-CRITICAL **:

(sortable)' failed

(users-admin:14188): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column_id: 
assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_SORTABLE (sortable)' failed
---

P.S. Should I file a separate bug for a feature request of "Search
Users" functionality or similar?

Sincerely,
Jordan

[Bug 315300] [NEW] Starting "Slide Show" caches pixmap data excessively, crashing thin clients

2009-01-08 Thread Jordan Erickson
Public bug reported:

+ Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS
+ OpenOffice 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1
+ LTSP Environment


Working in OpenOffice Impress/Presentation is fine until starting "Slide
Show", which caches excessive amounts of pixmap data to thin-client
memory. This is bad because thin clients generally have very little
amount of RAM (64-128MB is typical), and when all of the RAM is
exhausted by something like excessive pixmap memory usage, the session
simply crashes outright, causing data loss.


Observe my pixmap usage (via 'xrestop') of ~5MB upon simply launching a 1-slide 
presentation file:
---
3e050   841  160   62 5495K  5K   5501K 18330 POWER POINT - 
OpenOffice.org Impress
---


Now observe pixmap memory usage of ~52MB  upon launching "Slide Show -> Slide 
Show":
---
3e056  1001  230   7352767K  6K  52773K 18330 POWER POINT - 
OpenOffice.org Impress
---

A Jump of more than 50MB by simply launching the presentation slideshow
shouldn't happen. Thank you for any help on this, the children at my
schools will thank you!

(s/iceweasel/firefox/ in your suggestion).

/me hits head against wall

I will seriously have a pizza delivered to whoever can get the actual
bug fixed (no workarounds). Seriously. I will.

[Bug 269188] Re: Extreme slowness, "Firefox is already running" error for >3 users launching Firefox in LTSP environment

2009-01-12 Thread Jordan Erickson
I can also confirm the updated nspr package from fta's PPA works, via
directions I wrote at http://lns.wikidot.com/nsprupdate . I launched 27
FF3 instances from different LTSP terminals, after rm -rf'ing current
user FF profiles. No delays, even when launching 1-2 seconds apart each
(as fast as I could run from terminal to terminal in my computer lab) -
very snappy response.

Thanks all!!!
