| 10:37 bayoffire | hello everybody |
| 10:38 bayoffire | 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 bayoffire | Could anyone tell me how to define the gnome keyboard layout? |
| 10:38 oz_ | bayoffire: check if there is another setting elsewhere. |
| 10:39 oz_ | I also experience that english keyboard layout is hard to change. |
| 10:42 bayoffire | oz_: I also changed it in the debconf/FAIBASE but it did not show any reaction |
| 10:42 oz_ | just grep all konfigfiles through |
| 10:42 bayoffire | ok |
| 10:43 bayoffire | i'll check that, thanks |
| 10:43 oz_ | I alwas use some "find /etc -type f -exec grep -l KEYMAP {} \;" command to find all the files |
| 10:44 bayoffire | ok, thats great! Thanks a lot! |
| 10:47 bayoffire | testserver:/srv/fai/config# find /srv/fai/config -type f -exec grep -l KEYMAP {} \; |
| 10:47 bayoffire | /srv/fai/config/scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc |
| 10:47 bayoffire | /srv/fai/config/class/FAIBASE.var |
| 10:47 bayoffire | it's only in there files |
| 10:48 bayoffire | and I changed it there... |
| 10:49 bayoffire | I found out that gnome saves the value in this file: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kdb/%gconf.xml |
| 10:56 oz_ | bayoffire: check also /etc and $FAI_NFSROOT dirs |
| 10:56 Mrfai | Maybe you can use the gconftool-2 --type string --set |
| 10:56 Mrfai | /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename |
| 10:56 Mrfai | with a different object |
| 10:57 Mrfai | 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 Mrfai | s/share/change/ |
| 10:57 oz_ | Mrfai: and this changes keyboard layout? |
| Action: oz_ raises an eyebrow towards GNOME stuff |
| 10:58 Mrfai | I would think that there is a /desktop/gnome/keyboard/layout or similar path to the configuration data |
| tempel (~mettler@dsl-62-220-14-162.berlikomm.net) joined #fai. |
| 11:01 Mrfai | this reports the layout gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd |
| 11:01 tempel | hi, i'm using a ubuntu kernel-config. all ide/scsi/sata/usb devices are called sda/sdb ... |
| 11:02 tempel | do you know a way how to detect if its a usb-stick ? |
| 11:02 oz_ | bayoffire: did you set /etc/environment? /etc/locale.gen? |
| 11:02 tempel | can't install on a host where a usb-license dongle is plugged ;( |
| 11:03 Mrfai | tempel: cat /sys/./block/sdb/removable |
| 11:04 Mrfai | it's 0 if it's a hard disk, and 1 if it's removable (for e.g. a usb stick) |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) left irc: Remote host closed the connection |
| 11:04 mgoetze | also, have a look at /dev/disk/by-id |
| 11:04 oz_ | 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 Mrfai | IMO it's hard to distinguish between usb-stick and external usb hard disks |
| 11:05 oz_ | I think there is no way to dstinguish 100% correctly... |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) joined #fai. |
| 11:05 oz_ | one could maintain a list of USB-IDs, maybe |
| 11:05 tempel | Mrfai: nice1 thank you, i already spent some days on that ;) |
| 11:08 Mrfai | oz_: maybe use the fai-cd for booting, accessing the nfsroot. Only get the config space from your intranet |
| 11:10 oz_ | Mrfai: what would you think about keeping a clone of the install server outside? |
| Action: oz_ get's some headache thinking about the security-issues |
| 11:10 mgoetze | oz_: uhm, vpn? |
| 11:10 oz_ | mgoetze: I also thought about that... |
| 11:12 Mrfai | a clohne outside the intranet will not be an excat clone, because of different network settings |
| 11:15 oz_ | Mrfai: yes...but the "FAI server" part... |
| 11:16 oz_ | it should be possible to keep two machines in sync, does it? |
| 11:18 mgoetze | oz_: my fai config space lives in a subversion repository, anyway |
| 11:18 mgoetze | so deploying the same config space to another machine is not much of a problem |
| 11:19 oz_ | mgoetze: yes. main problem is the network book, imho |
| 11:19 oz_ | I have a lot of headaches about bootp/pxe/dhcp in the outside world |
| 11:20 oz_ | I think it's much less hassle to work with a fai-cd iso... |
| 11:21 mgoetze | i think it's not possible to give good answers without any information about your outside world... |
| 11:21 oz_ | mgoetze: my outside world are some machines hosted by hetzner |
| 11:22 oz_ | quite standard, I'd say |
| 11:22 mgoetze | do they have a dedicated vlan? |
| 11:23 oz_ | mybe you're right, I should ask @ hetzner |
| 11:23 oz_ | s/mybe// |
| 11:23 mgoetze | if not, i could put you in touch with the sales people at my company... ;) |
| 11:24 oz_ | *giggle* |
| 11:30 oz_ | mgoetze: you need some enterprise spreadsheets? |
| 11:30 oz_ | I could send you our sales guys for this... ;) |
| 11:31 mgoetze | spreadsheets? do they work with gnumeric? |
| 11:31 oz_ | Excel...OpenOff |
| 11:32 mgoetze | nah, i don't have enough RAM for those ;) |
| 11:56 rjd | .csv! :) |

| 13:17 tempel | tried to blacklist sd_mod/sg ... but did not help ;( -maybe someone has a tip? |
| 13:32 Mrfai | Hmm, never saw a non-removable USB stick ;-) |
