| 05:38 | <yanu> pff another error with ubuntu-ltsp, there is a hostname-file with a name, there must be no file with hostname
| |
| 05:38 | it is made when the client is booting
| |
| 05:46 | <ogra> its overwritten when the client is booting ...
| |
| 05:47 | unless the hostname.sh initscript recieved a hostname by dhcp or other mechanisms ...
| |
| 05:48 | if you want additional hostnames, create /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/hosts.ltsp
| |
| 05:48 | it will get attached to /etc/hosts of the client
| |
| 05:53 | <cliebow> ogra: any definitive docs antwhere?
| |
| 05:56 | <ogra> cliebow, about this specific functionallity ? nope, i dont think so, unless debian (who implemented that part) has something ...
| |
| 05:58 | <yanu> ogra: is that the default system?
| |
| 05:59 | <ogra> thats in dapper/edgy and etch/sid (not sure if it was in the sarge backport already)
| |
| 06:00 | <yanu> on mij debian with ltsp4.2, there is no hostname-file, it is created when booting
| |
| 06:00 | why do the ubuntu-dev put a hostfile if it is created, and cause a lot of trouble (by me :) )
| |
| 06:02 | wierd, normaly dhcpd must pass trough the hostname, and it was'nt changed?
| |
| 06:02 | <ogra> i'm talking about ltsp 5pre, sorry then
| |
| 06:02 | <yanu> ubuntu edgy here, that is ltsp4.2 , i think
| |
| 06:03 | <ogra> do you use the ubuntu ltsp package ?
| |
| 06:03 | or did you download the tarball from ltsp.org ?
| |
| 06:03 | <yanu> yes
| |
| 06:03 | <ogra> the first is 5pre, the latter is 4.2
| |
| 06:04 | anyway, got a meeting now, bbl
| |
| 06:04 | <yanu> there is no version in /etc/version
| |
| 06:04 | ok
| |
| 06:04 | <ogra> then its ubuntu
| |
| 06:04 | in fact the file shouldnt exist on an ubuntu system
| |
| 06:05 | <yanu> no the file doesn't exits

| 06:41 | <jernst> hi everyone, anybody has experience with ltsp and NX ?

| 07:09 | msinhore has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:20 | jsgotangco has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:34 | <psycodad> jernst: yes
| |
| 07:34 | ask your question.
| |
| 07:35 | rangerhomezzz is now known as rangerpb | |
| 07:35 | <jernst> psycodad: I just finished installing ltsp and everything works. I used ssh and xdmcp but I read that NX could improve my setup even more
| |
| 07:36 | psycodad: I'm using edgy and muekow, what are the steps involved to make my clients use NX after booting up ?
| |
| 07:36 | rangerpb is now known as rangerhomezzz | |
| 07:37 | <psycodad> jernst: nx is not officially supported in ltsp, there is a screen script from gadi which you can add to your ltsp install (which would make for the client part) but you also need to install a NX server
| |
| 07:37 | nx is fine for anything below 100Mbit/s
| |
| 07:38 | <jernst> so I won't gain anything in a 100/1000MB network
| |
| 07:38 | only if I want to access the server from outside
| |
| 07:39 | <psycodad> basically yes
| |
| 07:39 | <jernst> still it could be interesting, I feel ssh/ldm is slower than xdmcp so with NX I could have security and good performances
| |
| 07:39 | <sep> we use NX for connecting to the ltsp server from pupil/teachers home. (modem/ISDN/adsl and similar speeds)
| |
| 07:39 | <psycodad> it gives you local performance over >=64Kbit/s links
| |
| 07:40 | however if you want performant remote acces, you only need the server part - the clients wont be diskless then i assume
| |
| 07:41 | <jernst> why not ?
| |
| 07:43 | stibs has left #ltsp | |
| 07:45 | <jernst> I just found some infos on the wiki, I'll make some experiments, thanks
| |
| 07:45 | <psycodad> jernst: tftp booting over non-local networks sucks plainly
| |
| 07:45 | and some other problems
| |
| 07:46 | <jernst> I wondered that too
| |
| 07:47 | <psycodad> jernst: maybe my webpages (debian) about freenx help you: http://www.telemedia.ch/publ/
| |
| 07:47 | <jernst> thanks psycodad
| |
| 07:48 | <prpplague> psycodad: thats an understatement
| |
| 07:48 | <sep> jernst, we use the nxapplet on a webserver for remote nx access any client (win/linux/mac) can open the preconfigured nxclient there, and they only need to provide ldap username and password for remote access.
| |
| 07:48 | <prpplague> psycodad: i'll never forget the first time we tried ltsp over a 64k dds line
| |
| 07:48 | <jernst> sep: sounds good
| |
| 07:49 | <psycodad> lol, i have a 16/18Mbit Link and i didnt get tftp booting over it ;-) now mac mini at home is the ltsp box with nx screen scripts
| |
| 07:49 | well, to be honest, it worked occasionally but far from being predictable of even usable
| |
| 07:50 | <prpplague> psycodad: yea, thats why we went with an ltsp hybrid, we had small local storage for the boot process
| |
| 07:52 | <psycodad> btw: anybody has an idea how to decrease mouse speed and/or accel. ? I get crazy on rdesktop with this crappy mouse (one the unix session i help myself with xset m 1/6)

| |
| 09:25 | <sbalneav> Morning yanu
| |
| 09:25 | <yanu> sbalneav: is local devices working on ltsp on ubuntu edgy?
| |
| 09:26 | i read it's not?
| |
| 09:26 | <sbalneav> Yes, localdevices works fine on edgy
| |
| 09:26 | CD's, floppies, and memory sticks are all supported.
| |
| 09:33 | <yanu> hmm, here it doesn't

| |
| 09:34 | <sbalneav> Hey ogra!
| |
| 09:34 | <ogra> yo
| |
| 09:34 | <sbalneav> Really liked your blog posts about Poland.
| |
| 09:34 | for 2 reasons
| |
| 09:34 | <yanu> i have a visitor, later ...
| |
| 09:34 | <sbalneav> 1) They had cool information in them, and
| |
| 09:34 | 2) They weren't about binary drivers :)
| |
| 09:34 | <ogra> hahahahaha
| |
| 09:35 | yeah, thanks :)
| |
| 09:35 | <sbalneav> I got sucked into the debate on Newsforge, but I kept it off of Planet.

| 10:08 | <g333k_work> hi, how can I monitor my server? I mean how to know when it is running out of resources?

| 10:24 | <efra> Hola a todos
| |
| 10:24 | Sorry
| |
| 10:25 | Hi everybody
| |
| 10:41 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:43 | <sbalneav> g333k_work: top's a good way

| 10:53 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, nothing else?
| |
| 10:54 | efra, hola hispanohablante :p = Hi spanish speaking :p
| |
| 10:54 | <sbalneav> There's literally TONS of way to monitor the server.
| |
| 10:54 | It just depends on what you want to monitor.
| |
| 10:54 | <g333k_work> tons?
| |
| 10:54 | <sbalneav> tons.
| |
| 10:54 | lots
| |
| 10:55 | there's hundreds of monitoring applications for linux.
| |
| 10:55 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, ohh... I know but that works with ltsp?
| |
| 10:55 | muh2000 has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:57 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, ohh... I know that there are many monitoring apps, but one that works with ltsp?
| |
| 11:01 | <sbalneav> Well, there's nothing that needs to "work" with ltsp
| |
| 11:02 | Your users are just logged into the server.
| |
| 11:02 | So, you just need to know things like how much memory's being used, how much swap, how much cpu, etc.
| |
| 11:03 | Personally, I can do all that using ps, free, and top.
| |
| 11:04 | There are more graphical tools out there, and you can investigate some of the options, but really, managing an ltsp server really isn't any different than say managing a file server, or a database server.
| |
| 11:04 | that's the beauty of Linux: it's all just processes :)
| |
| 11:04 | ruede has quit IRC | |
| 11:08 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, Ok thanks.... Happens that I'm adding gradually clients to my server... and I want to know the day that I have not to add more anymore.. I dont want to kill my server :p
| |
| 11:09 | <sbalneav> Top's excellent for that.
| |
| 11:09 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, Yeah I'm learning how to read the numbers that the matrix gives to me
| |
| 11:11 | I'm afraid.. I have just 6m of free RAM
| |
| 11:12 | sbalneav, free tells me that I have 6m of free RAM but top tells me that I have 59m
| |
| 11:23 | fxrsliberty has joined #ltsp | |
| 11:25 | <sbalneav> g333k_work: top will include the virtual memory in the count (i.e. your swap space). Free will only put the amout of free ram. Having little free ram is ok, as the system will use free ram for disk buffering, so expect it to be low. What you DON'T want to see is a lot of swapping going on. If you're swapping, that will be slowing things down. The ware to cure that is with more ram.
| |
| 11:26 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, ooh ok.... Maybe using local apps will release charge my server?
| |
| 11:28 | <sbalneav> If you're not swapping, then there's no need to worry.
| |
| 11:28 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, Swap: 1052248 148300 903948
| |
| 11:28 | (results of free command)
| |
| 11:28 | <sbalneav> Yo've used a bit of swap, but not much. about 10 %
| |
| 11:29 | What does the "uptime" command say?
| |
| 11:29 | <g333k_work> yep... maybe adding 10 more clients today the numbers change
| |
| 11:29 | 12:22:45 up 2 days, 2:41, 4 users, load average: 0.42, 0.24, 0.37
| |
| 11:29 | <sbalneav> yeah, you're not loaded down.
| |
| 11:30 | <g333k_work> I dont know what value of load average is ok
| |
| 11:30 | <sbalneav> how many terminals
| |
| 11:30 | anything below 1 is perfect
| |
| 11:30 | you're at .37 for the 15 minute running average.
| |
| 11:30 | moquist_ is now known as moquist | |
| 11:30 | <sbalneav> how many terminals do you currently have?
| |
| 11:41 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, like 10
| |
| 11:42 | <sbalneav> And how much ram do you have in the server?
| |
| 11:42 | <g333k_work> I will add 10 per day.... till about 40 or 50
| |
| 11:42 | sbalneav, well 512M but it is a testing server... I will have a 4G RAM server
| |
| 11:43 | <sbalneav> Yeah, for 20 people, you'll want a bit more than 512. But 4 gig will be plenty for at least 40 people.
| |
| 11:43 | Probably more, depending on what they're doing.
| |
| 11:45 | fxrsliberty has quit IRC | |
| 11:52 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, I have a question... I'm using ubuntu, how can I disable the graphic mode in my server? to save resources... I want to close xfce and go to the console mode; I've already edited the inittab file and set up the default runleve to 3, but I dont want reboot my server now, do you have any clue?
| |
| 11:54 | <sbalneav> You won't save that much in resources, only a few megs, at best. You'd have to modify the gdm.conf file to do it, and restart gdm for it to take effect, which will kick out all your users. If you're not logged in on the console, it won't take much ram up, so why not just leave it the way it is?

| 11:56 | <jernst> hi everyone
| |
| 11:56 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, Ok thanks buddy
| |
| 11:56 | <jernst> I'm still experimenting with ltsp
| |
| 11:56 | but have the following problem:
| |
| 11:57 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, about the last issue... my clients will only use firefox, doc viewer and pdf viewer
| |
| 11:57 | <jernst> if I am using a client connected with 10/100 Mbit/s it will never go past nfs mounting and will sit with filename: /ltsp/i386/nbi.img in vt1
| |
| 11:57 | if I am using a client with gigabit lan everything works as expected
| |
| 11:58 | <sbalneav> jernst: That's something with your switch.
| |
| 11:58 | You've probably got a managed switch, right?
| |
| 11:58 | <jernst> not I have cheap d-link desktop switches
| |
| 11:59 | <sbalneav> Well, something's misbehaving in the switch.
| |
| 11:59 | <jernst> It feels like nfs is having timeout problems. I read some things about it in the wiki, but it didn't work
| |
| 12:00 | sbalneav: how-come that I can make xdmcp sessions just fine and mount my nfs share just fine when booting from the hdd ?
| |
| 12:01 | and I don't see any indication that portmap is running when the image downloaded with tftp is running, this of course will not help nfs working well
| |
| 12:01 | <sbalneav> Dunno. Have you tried substituting a different switch?
| |
| 12:01 | Say, one that doesn't do gigabit?
| |
| 12:01 | <jernst> sbalneav: I will try right away

| |
| 13:07 | or better, is there a good howto somewhere?
| |
| 13:07 | <sbalneav> LTSP 4.2 uses lbussd.
| |
| 13:08 | <yanu> ubutunu edgy with the default packages
| |
| 13:08 | <sbalneav> The LTSP5 prerelease in Ubuntu and Debian doen't
| |
| 13:08 | <yanu> so i'm using ltsp5 i suppose

| |
| 13:11 | J45p3r_ has quit IRC | |

| |
| 14:25 | lts.conf -> LOCALDEV = True
| |
| 14:25 | <sbalneav> This is on what?
| |
| 14:26 | <yanu> i see, on the client, that /etc/fstab is adjusted
| |
| 14:26 | <sbalneav> Ubuntu?
| |
| 14:26 | <yanu> ya
| |
| 14:26 | <sbalneav> you did the install of ltsp-server-standalone?
| |
| 14:26 | <yanu> ltsp-server-standalone
| |
| 14:26 | from packages
| |
| 14:27 | server : ltspfs is installed, on the client "ltspfsd -a" is running

| 14:28 | mighty-d has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:28 | <sbalneav> What are you logging in via? The ldm?
| |
| 14:28 | <yanu> what triggers ltspfsd? the udev-script? /lib/udev/add_fstab_entry
| |
| 14:28 | kdm
| |
| 14:29 | <sbalneav> that won't work.
| |
| 14:29 | You'll need to use the ldm for localdevs to work.
| |
| 14:29 | <yanu> acha, i have to use ldm?
| |
| 14:29 | ok, i'll try it out, thx
| |
| 14:29 | <sbalneav> Yeah, the plumbing's done over the ssh tunnel.
| |
| 14:29 | <mighty-d> Hi, im trying to set up a thin client, so far i can boot the kernel, but it doesn't starts x (monitor says sync out of range) can anyone help me?
| |
| 14:29 | <sbalneav> Sure, what are you hosting this on?
| |
| 14:30 | <mighty-d> im running slackware 11 with ltsp 4-2
| |
| 14:30 | ehterboot with 2.6... kernel
| |
| 14:30 | ltsp generated
| |
| 14:30 | Stevec has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:31 | <sbalneav> What kind of monitor is on the client?
| |
| 14:32 | <mighty-d> its a samsung syncmaster
| |
| 14:32 | <sbalneav> Is it a flatpanel?
| |
| 14:33 | <mighty-d> no
| |
| 14:33 | its crt
| |
| 14:33 | <sbalneav> Well, try putting X_MODE_0 = 800x600 in your lts.conf, see if it likes that.
| |
| 14:34 | <mighty-d> how should my ltsp.conf look like?
| |
| 14:34 | [ws011]
| |
| 14:34 | XF86CONFIG_FILE = X11/xorg-ws011.conf
| |
| 14:34 | <sbalneav> Well, you've got a custom xorg.conf file there.
| |
| 14:35 | <mighty-d> it seems the thin client doesn't find it
| |
| 14:35 | i wrote xorg-ws011.conf on /etc/lts/i386/etc/X11
| |
| 14:35 | is it right?
| |
| 14:36 | <sbalneav> Probably not.
| |
| 14:36 | <mighty-d> uh?
| |
| 14:37 | <sbalneav> where did you put the xorg file?
| |
| 14:37 | in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11?
| |
| 14:37 | <mighty-d> /etc/ltsp/i386/etc/X11
| |
| 14:37 | yes
| |
| 14:37 | i mean
| |
| 14:37 | <sbalneav> etc or opt?
| |
| 14:37 | <mighty-d> /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11
| |
| 14:37 | sorry
| |
| 14:38 | <sbalneav> then you'll want XF86CONFIG_FILE = /etc/X11/xorg-ws011.conf
| |
| 14:39 | <mighty-d> ok
| |
| 14:39 | now, i wrote what you told me and commented the XF86CONFIG_FILE = /etc/X11/xorg-ws011.conf
| |
| 14:39 | line
| |
| 14:40 | now it stays on rc.sysinit completed switching to multi-user mode
| |
| 14:41 | <sbalneav> Why do you need a custom config?
| |
| 14:42 | <mighty-d> no, i'm not using it now...
| |
| 14:42 | i deleted those lines
| |
| 14:43 | <sbalneav> ok, so is it working now?
| |
| 14:43 | <mighty-d> no
| |
| 14:43 | now it stays after rc.sysinit completed switching to multi-user mode
| |
| 14:43 | it doesn't start either X or ask me for login name or anything
| |
| 14:44 | <sbalneav> why don't you paste your lts.conf file to pastebin.ca so I can see what you've got.
| |
| 14:44 | <mighty-d> ok
| |
| 14:44 | <yanu> sbalneav: ok, manualy starting ldm from vt2 (ldm vt4 :0) , i'll get a login and the localdevs works great,
| |
| 14:44 | <mighty-d> whats the address?
| |
| 14:44 | <yanu> sbalneav: how do it automaticly
| |
| 14:44 | mighty-d: http://pastebot.ltsp.org
| |
| 14:44 | <sbalneav> what do you have for your SCREEN_0x parameter in lts.conf?
| |
| 14:45 | no, that one doesn't work anymore.
| |
| 14:45 | We haven't seen the fellow who hosts it for a bit.
| |
| 14:45 | <yanu> screen_0 = shell _1 =shell _2 = shell
| |
| 14:45 | it's still in the topic
| |
| 14:46 | <sbalneav> Yep, someone needs to change it.
| |
| 14:46 | yanu: SCREEN_07 = ldm should work.
| |
| 14:47 | <yanu> another wierd thing, i can't use screen_01 , it askes for a username and pass ..
| |
| 14:47 | <mighty-d> the url doesn't work
| |
| 14:47 | <yanu> no nothing on screen 7
| |
| 14:47 | mighty-d: pastebin.ca
| |
| 14:49 | sbalneav: ach, ok , now i get it :) in lts.conf (SCREEN_07 = ldm)

| |
| 14:57 | <yanu> it is just on terminal screen_01
| |
| 15:02 | Kodex has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:06 | <mighty-d> hello??
| |
| 15:06 | sbalneav:
| |
| 15:06 | <sbalneav> Sorry, was somewhere else for a bit.
| |
| 15:07 | Have you just got a grey screen with an X?
| |
| 15:07 | <mighty-d> no
| |
| 15:08 | i think my problem its with the login, i can't even get a shell to work
| |
| 15:09 | <sbalneav> So, are you still getting the "out of range error"?
| |
| 15:09 | <mighty-d> no
| |
| 15:09 | i worte the 800x600 as u told me to
| |
| 15:10 | <yanu> mighty-d: in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default change the line to this: DEFAULT vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img (drop quiet splash) and restart the terminal
| |
| 15:10 | <sbalneav> ok, so WHAT do you have on the screen?
| |
| 15:11 | <mighty-d> rc.sysinit completed, switching to multi-session mode
| |
| 15:12 | <sbalneav> ok, remove the X_MODE_0 line
| |
| 15:12 | restart the terminal
| |
| 15:13 | <mighty-d> and then i got noghing
| |
| 15:15 | brb
| |
| 15:15 | please wait a second
| |
| 15:15 | <sbalneav> What do you get? The monitor out of range error?
| |
| 15:15 | <mighty-d> no
| |
| 15:15 | now i dont get anything
| |
| 15:15 | well
| |
| 15:16 | the same as above
| |
| 15:16 | rc.sysinit completed, switching to multi-session mode
| |
| 15:16 | <sbalneav> ok
| |
| 15:16 | Sounds like it isn't detecting the video card.
| |
| 15:16 | What kind of video card is it?
| |
| 15:16 | <mighty-d> it came with an i810 motherboard (integrated)
| |
| 15:17 | is there a way to start in shell?
| |
| 15:17 | <sbalneav> yep
| |
| 15:17 | SCREEN_01 = shell
| |
| 15:17 | <mighty-d> can we test it?
| |
| 15:17 | <sbalneav> instead of startx
| |
| 15:18 | <mighty-d> ok
| |
| 15:18 | lets C
| |
| 15:18 | maybe it is a problem with ssh?
| |
| 15:19 | its the same thing
| |
| 15:20 | <sbalneav> You said you were on Slackware, yes?
| |
| 15:20 | And you installed LTSP-4.2 from ltsp.org, right?
| |
| 15:21 | <mighty-d> yes
| |
| 15:24 | <sbalneav> Lets see your lts.conf now
| |
| 15:24 | pastebin.ca
| |
| 15:25 | <mighty-d> http://pastebin.ca/261792
| |
| 15:26 | <sbalneav> You didn't happen to have an older version of ltsp installed, did you?
| |
| 15:26 | <mighty-d> no i didn't
| |
| 15:27 | <sbalneav> lets see your dhcpd.conf file
| |
| 15:27 | <cliebow_> mighty-d: did you get your tftp prob figgered out?
| |
| 15:28 | <yanu> cliebow_: he sais the kernel boots, but i'm not sure about that
| |
| 15:28 | <mighty-d> http://pastebin.ca/261795
| |
| 15:29 | <yanu> on my terminals, with i810, the monitors are blinking like hell when i doesn't remove 'quiet splash' from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 15:32 | <sbalneav> mighty-d: seems ok
| |
| 15:33 | <mighty-d> could it be sshd?
| |
| 15:34 | <cliebow_> why would sshd havr asnything to do with it in ltsp-4.2?
| |
| 15:34 | uwe has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:34 | <mighty-d> isn't sshd the protocol used to grant access?
| |
| 15:34 | <sbalneav> mighty-d: no, it won't
| |
| 15:34 | On ltsp5, yes
| |
| 15:34 | you're not using ltsp5
| |
| 15:35 | <mighty-d> ok
| |
| 15:35 | i think my problem is with the "thing" that grants access, i dont get a login message
| |
| 15:35 | <cliebow_> mightd: you are able to get a shell?
| |
| 15:35 | on client/
| |
| 15:35 | <mighty-d> no
| |

| |
| 15:36 | <mighty-d> no
| |
| 15:36 | rc.sysinit completed, switching to multi-session mode
| |
| 15:36 | it just says that
| |
| 15:36 | <sbalneav> What happens if you hit control-alt f1
| |
| 15:37 | <mighty-d> nothing seems to happen
| |
| 15:37 | i see a purple blinking cursor
| |
| 15:39 | <sbalneav> Hit return, anything?
| |
| 15:39 | like a shell prompt?
| |
| 15:39 | <mighty-d> no
| |
| 15:39 | <sbalneav> Wait, the screen changed?
| |
| 15:39 | <mighty-d> no

| |
| 15:44 | <sbalneav> hm
| |
| 15:44 | <mighty-d> it is a pentium III
| |

| |
| 15:44 | <cliebow_> might-d:ok..i got myself in a world of doo-doo usngg/kedit

| |
| 15:45 | <sbalneav> Dunno.
| |
| 15:45 | <mighty-d> lol
| |
| 15:45 | :P
| |
| 15:45 | <sbalneav> SCREEN_01 = shell ALWAYS works
| |
| 15:45 | I've never seen it NOT work.
| |
| 15:46 | <mighty-d> this ltsp has become a personal challenge! :P
| |
| 15:46 | <sbalneav> is there another client you can try?
| |
| 15:46 | I'm suspecting hardware trouble.
| |
| 15:46 | <mighty-d> yes, but its the same thing there
| |
| 15:46 | <cliebow_> heh.. i spent 18 months off and on with the Macintosh side
| |
| 15:47 | sbalneav:rc.sysinit ends with Switching to multi-session mode..where does control pass next
| |
| 15:47 | <sbalneav> to inittab
| |
| 15:48 | <mighty-d> ok, maybe thats it, i dont have a xdm , kdm or gdm service running
| |
| 15:48 | i don't like it
| |
| 15:48 | <cliebow_> and inittab is in ram
| |
| 15:49 | mighty-d:how will you get a login without a display manager/
| |
| 15:49 | <mighty-d> mmm
| |
| 15:49 | i dont use a display mananger to login
| |
| 15:50 | so i just go init 4 and thats it?
| |
| 15:50 | <cliebow_> on the server that is fine..but in ltsp you are left with a shell on the client
| |
| 15:51 | <mighty-d> ok
| |
| 15:51 | <cliebow_> so you'd have to think about access to the server
| |
| 15:51 | <mighty-d> so i just do init 4 and thats it?
| |

| 17:22 | <jernst> hello everyone, thanks to someone in this channel (sorry I forgot his name) I know a little bit more about my ltsp/nfs issue... if the client has a gigabit nic and is connected to the server (which has a gigabit nic as well) using a gigabit switch, the nfs root is mounted ; if the client has a 100Mb nic and is connected to the server with a gigabit switch, the chroot is never mounted, if the client has a 100Mb nic ans is connected to the serve
| |
| 17:27 | Kodex has quit IRC | |
| 17:29 | <yanu> good to know
| |
| 17:31 | <jernst> what would be good to know is how to fix it ;-)
| |
| 17:31 | I'm wondering if it wouldn't improve nfs mounting if portmap was loaded during the initial boot
| |
| 17:35 | <cliebow> nfs is a funky protocol sometimes
