[10:37] hello everybody [10:38] I have a question about the keyboard layout. I choose KEYMAP=sg-latin1.kmap.gz in the FAIBASE.var. But the gnome layout is US. [10:38] Could anyone tell me how to define the gnome keyboard layout? [10:38] bayoffire: check if there is another setting elsewhere. [10:39] I also experience that english keyboard layout is hard to change. [10:42] oz_: I also changed it in the debconf/FAIBASE but it did not show any reaction [10:42] just grep all konfigfiles through [10:42] ok [10:43] i'll check that, thanks [10:43] I alwas use some "find /etc -type f -exec grep -l KEYMAP {} \;" command to find all the files [10:44] ok, thats great! Thanks a lot! [10:47] testserver:/srv/fai/config# find /srv/fai/config -type f -exec grep -l KEYMAP {} \; [10:47] /srv/fai/config/scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc [10:47] /srv/fai/config/class/FAIBASE.var [10:47] it's only in there files [10:48] and I changed it there... [10:49] I found out that gnome saves the value in this file: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kdb/%gconf.xml [10:56] bayoffire: check also /etc and $FAI_NFSROOT dirs [10:56] Maybe you can use the gconftool-2 --type string --set [10:56] /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename [10:56] with a different object [10:57] I think you can change most gnome things using gconftools-2, but you must know the name of the object you like to share [10:57] s/share/change/ [10:57] Mrfai: and this changes keyboard layout? [10:57] Action: oz_ raises an eyebrow towards GNOME stuff [10:58] I would think that there is a /desktop/gnome/keyboard/layout or similar path to the configuration data [11:00] tempel (~mettler@dsl-62-220-14-162.berlikomm.net) joined #fai. [11:01] this reports the layout gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd [11:01] hi, i'm using a ubuntu kernel-config. all ide/scsi/sata/usb devices are called sda/sdb ... [11:02] do you know a way how to detect if its a usb-stick ? [11:02] bayoffire: did you set /etc/environment? /etc/locale.gen? [11:02] can't install on a host where a usb-license dongle is plugged ;( [11:03] tempel: cat /sys/./block/sdb/removable [11:04] it's 0 if it's a hard disk, and 1 if it's removable (for e.g. a usb stick) [11:04] siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [11:04] also, have a look at /dev/disk/by-id [11:04] Mrfai: what would you recommend if one has a FAI server in the intranet, but wants to install servers hosted outside the intranet [11:04] IMO it's hard to distinguish between usb-stick and external usb hard disks [11:05] I think there is no way to dstinguish 100% correctly... [11:05] siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) joined #fai. [11:05] one could maintain a list of USB-IDs, maybe [11:05] Mrfai: nice1 thank you, i already spent some days on that ;) [11:08] oz_: maybe use the fai-cd for booting, accessing the nfsroot. Only get the config space from your intranet [11:10] Mrfai: what would you think about keeping a clone of the install server outside? [11:10] Action: oz_ get's some headache thinking about the security-issues [11:10] oz_: uhm, vpn? [11:10] mgoetze: I also thought about that... [11:12] a clohne outside the intranet will not be an excat clone, because of different network settings [11:15] Mrfai: yes...but the "FAI server" part... [11:16] it should be possible to keep two machines in sync, does it? [11:18] oz_: my fai config space lives in a subversion repository, anyway [11:18] so deploying the same config space to another machine is not much of a problem [11:19] mgoetze: yes. main problem is the network book, imho [11:19] I have a lot of headaches about bootp/pxe/dhcp in the outside world [11:20] I think it's much less hassle to work with a fai-cd iso... [11:21] i think it's not possible to give good answers without any information about your outside world... [11:21] mgoetze: my outside world are some machines hosted by hetzner [11:22] quite standard, I'd say [11:22] do they have a dedicated vlan? [11:23] mybe you're right, I should ask @ hetzner [11:23] s/mybe// [11:23] if not, i could put you in touch with the sales people at my company... ;) [11:24] *giggle* [11:30] mgoetze: you need some enterprise spreadsheets? [11:30] I could send you our sales guys for this... ;) [11:31] spreadsheets? do they work with gnumeric? [11:31] Excel...OpenOff [11:32] nah, i don't have enough RAM for those ;) [11:56] .csv! :) [12:59] fai-guy (~fai-guy@p4FC218D5.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [13:16] Mrfai: 'grep 1 /sys/block/*/removable' gives me: fd0/sdb/sdc/sdd/sde/sr0.... none of these devices really exist, and it says my existing usb stick(sdf) is not removable ;( [13:17] tried to blacklist sd_mod/sg ... but did not help ;( -maybe someone has a tip? [13:32] Hmm, never saw a non-removable USB stick ;-) [13:44] (der ist auch aufgeklebt, aber das sollte dem kernel ja egal sein ^^) [14:18] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [14:22] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai.
