cmart	and my browser interprets that as `http://banners.json`.	21:56:18

cmart	we meeting tomorrow or no? it's a nominal holiday for julianp and I. I'm happy to meet or skip. I see no MRs in progress aside from the draft one I just opened.	01:22:42
frank.af	I'll review it, I think we can skip though, I don't have much right now	01:55:23
julianp	I’d prefer skipping.	02:52:07
cmart	skip it is	02:53:01

frank.af	this is towards some of what's discussed with the unsupported OS issue. Also, the JS2 windows image is cloud-init enabled, we could do something with automatically setting up an exouser and at least making it usable with the spice console	22:41:36
frank.af	I tested using cloud-init to create a user, id need to figure out how to make that the default because it tries to force login as administrator on first boot right now. But it's doable	23:44:51
cmart	cool. if you're working on https://gitlab.com/exosphere/exosphere/-/issues/552 , IMO the most important thing is degrading gracefully when cloud-init or ansible goes off the rails / doesn't work. building Windows support is currently out of scope for our work with IU, we can ask about it but I imagine it's not a priority compared to the things currently on the milestone.	23:48:03

frank.af	Yeah, the status bit was towards that (or a linked issue discussing it), but improving that communication should help with showing when things fail faster	23:51:33
cmart	yep	23:52:08
cmart	feel free to create an issue capturing the opportunity for Windows support, I suspect some Cornell folks will want it later	23:53:35
cmart	er actually https://gitlab.com/exosphere/exosphere/-/issues/986 exists	23:53:54
cmart	not on the milestone though	23:54:00

frank.af	so, Guacamole doesn't support TurboVNC, but TurboVNC is smart enough to just degrade gracefully. Basically all I've done here is: replace tigervnc with turbovnc nvidia-xconfig to create an xorg.vgl.conf (had to be edited, i'll figure out the proper commands) start an X server as root on :7 using that config (`sudo Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.vgl.conf :7` The TurboVNC viewer	16:53:18

I have to close all connections and relaunch the turbovnc viewer to get a smooth connection again	17:01:08
frank.af	EGL seems to work well too, we might not need the X server	17:03:34

frank.af	aaand rocky 9 works	17:55:17

frank.af	ansible brought up an ubuntu 22.04 image perfectly. I need to make sure nothing breaks with a non-GPU flavor, but thats exciting	18:36:23
frank.af	if anyone wants to try it out, grab the TurboVNC viewer from https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/releases/tag/3.1.1 and connect to `frank-ubuntu-gpu.ccr190024.projects.jetstream-cloud.org:1` Grab the passphrase from Exosphere. I put shortcuts on the desktop to launch the benchmark with or without EGL	18:53:15
frank.af	Rocky 9 launches, it just needs a firewall rule to allow connections to 5901	18:56:01
frank.af	Stretch goal: Gnome detects the nvidia GPU, and offers a "launch on a dedicated GPU" right click option. This calls out to `switcherooctl launch` which would support Optimus/Primus setups. It would be awesome to tweak that to use `vglrun` instead	19:04:18

frank.af	this feels really really dirty but `export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libvglfaker.so:$LD_PRELOAD"` will run everything in virtualgl	21:22:07
