dberkholz: are you integrating ltsp 5 into gentoo?
02:02vanya has joined #ltsp
02:02MoL0ToV has joined #ltsp
02:03
<dberkholz>
sahil: that's the plan, haven't had time to work on it for a while now... hoping to find time this quarter
02:03
<sahil>
dberkholz: i would like to join the quest if possible
02:04
i have nothing but time
02:04
<dberkholz>
sahil: try porting the init scripts to gentoo
02:04
http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/ltsp/ltsp.txt is a place to start
02:04
<sahil>
dberkholz: ha thats exactly what i was looking for
02:05
is there any other information you can supply me or is that what you got?
02:05
<dberkholz>
the init scripts for debian/ubuntu are in a debian/ directory in the ltsp-mainline repo, details on getting it are in that file
02:05
there are 2, both need to get ported over
02:06
<sahil>
looks like i have a lot to learn tonight
02:06
<dberkholz>
the Gentoo/ directory contains some preliminary work on plugins for ltsp-build-client, that's what i've been personally working on
02:06
(in ~dberkholz/ltsp/ )
02:06
<sahil>
i don't need pwd or anything to grab it?
02:06
<dberkholz>
i really want to find time to work on it but i've been doing a ton of writing
02:07
sahil: hm?
02:07
<sahil>
nm
02:07
are you familiar with the mille-xterm project?
02:07
<dberkholz>
you get the ltsp-mainline repo anonymous using bzr, and you can just wget any of my stuff from dev.gentoo.org that you want
02:07
nope

ldm works, but when i log in, i get ldm back, no gnome? someone a clue or url?
03:44
<ogra>
yanu, did you change the IP since you installed ?
03:45
<yanu>
of the server, thats possible
03:45
<ogra>
if so, run sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys
03:45
ldm needs the right keys in place ... else it wont connect
03:46
and make sure your ssh server is running
03:46
<yanu>
do i need to restart the terminal?
03:46
there is no output when i run sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys, is that normal?
03:48
<ogra>
yes
03:48
try logging in again
03:49
<yanu>
hmm, openssh-server wasn't installed
03:49
<ogra>
ah, what distro is that ?
03:49
<yanu>
why isn't this picked up with dependencys?
03:49

ogra@edubuntu:~$ apt-cache show ltsp-server|grep Recommends
03:50
Recommends: openssh-server | ssh, ltspfs
03:50
;)
03:50bobby_C has quit IRC
03:51
<ogra>
you *can* run it without ssh (not that you should) so its only a recommends
03:51
<yanu>
hmm, same here, ach, ok, i'll write it down
03:54
<ogra>
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices <- in case you want to use local devices...
03:54
<yanu>
ogra: thx allot !
03:54
<ogra>
and there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP
03:57tovella has quit IRC
03:57
<yanu>
i did ltsp-update-sshkeys before you said it, maybe this problem can be eliminated, with an output "openssh-server" isn't installed" ??
03:57tovella has joined #ltsp
03:59
<ogra>
well, i'm planning a rewrite of the login manager, speedier and with a lot more verbosity so you will get some hints in the future
04:00
<yanu>
nice :)
04:00
now, i see X is running on the server (gdm), but i don't want that
04:01
where can i stop this, when booting
04:01
<ogra>
remove gdm ;) or use the gui tool to switch it off
04:03
<yanu>
if i remove gdm, then gnome will also be removed, my card is not nicely configured, i just see a lot of bars on the screen :)
04:03
i can remove gdm from the startup-dir, rc2.d ?
04:04
<ogra>
you can remove gdm without removing anything but ubuntu-desktop
04:05
<yanu>
indeed, no problem to remove ubuntu-desktop?
04:05
<ogra>
ogra@edubuntu:~$ LANG=C sudo apt-get remove gdm
04:05
The following packages will be REMOVED:
04:05
edubuntu-artwork edubuntu-desktop gdm
04:05
well, its a bit differenmt in edubuntu ... but you can just remove it, dont worry
04:06
its easier than fiddling with the rc2 symlinks
04:06
<yanu>
it's done
04:06
<ogra>
if you want it back, just install ubuntu-desktop again :)
04:06
<yanu>
i don't want it on the server, i like to save some ram for the clients
04:07
<ogra>
yup, understandable

cliebow, see my last comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/97456
05:24
<cliebow>
yes
05:25
<ogra>
now i just have to shuffle the package selection a bit to not install these and we're back to bearable boot times
05:26
<cliebow>
ill try after breakfast
05:29

<jammcq>
ogra: hmm, can't wait to get to the office and test the latest mods
06:32
assuming that fixes things, we'll just need to figure out why it takes a full 3 minutes to even get to the LDM stage
06:32
<ogra>
jammcq, well, we might get probs with xdmcp if the fonts are missing, not sure
06:33
but it works fine in ldm
06:33
<jammcq>
I'll test that too
06:33
<blinky_ghost>
hi, does ldm support autologin?
06:33
<ogra>
due to the X proxy we dont need fonts on the client it seems
06:33
blinky_ghost, not yet, no
06:34
<jammcq>
ogra: it's not so much teh X proxy. it's the fact that most every X client is now using client-rendered fonts now
06:34
<ogra>
ah, cool, so that could save xdmcp as well
06:34
<jammcq>
only the old progs, like xterm, xclock and probably xdm use it. GDM should be fine
06:35
I'll test it within the hour
06:35
<ogra>
well, and these use fixed by default anyway
06:35
<jammcq>
true dat
06:35
<ogra>
xfonts-base is still installed
06:35
so function should be guaranteed
06:36
<jammcq>
was ldm going out and taking inventory of all available fonts?
06:36
<ogra>
gtk was
06:36
<jammcq>
how is Debian's LTSP not affected? do they not install those fonts?
06:36
<ogra>
i just straced the C greeter and saw all these fonts rushing by
06:37* jammcq goes to look
06:37
<ogra>
i guess they do install less fonts by default
06:37
also they have a different metapackage for X in etch iirc
06:37
our xorg package just installs all available fonts ... which is fine for a standalone desktop
06:37
<jammcq>
actually, they install them all
06:38
xfongs-75dpi AND 100dpi
06:38
so, it's conceivable there's still more slowness we could squeeze out
06:39
just checked both debian and ubuntu ltsp-5
06:39
ubuntu installs 5 more font packages than debian
06:39
I'll provide the diff in a minute
06:39
maybe there's more we could remove from ubuntu
06:39
and still have success
06:42
> console-setup
06:42
> console-terminus
06:42
> console-tools
06:42
13a17
06:42
> xfontsel
06:42
16a21
06:42
> xlsfonts
06:42
forget about xfontsel
06:42
and console-tools
06:42
and possibly the other console-* packages
06:42
the only difference would then be xlsfonts
06:43
<ogra>
eek
06:43
no
06:43
console-setup and the console fonts are needed
06:44
<jammcq>
yeah, but not used by X
06:44
<ogra>
right
06:44
<jammcq>
so removing them wouldn't help
06:44
<ogra>
and not scanned by X
06:44
right
06:44
<jammcq>
so, the only difference in fonts between debian and ubuntu ltsp-5 is the xlsfonts package
06:44
<ogra>
and we would loose all the localization i just implemented
06:45
<jammcq>
seems to me if we remove the 75dpi and 100dpi fonts on debian, it would make that even faster
06:45
which makes me think there's still other things making LDM slow on ubuntu, besides the fonts
06:45
<ogra>
there is no difference in the code
06:45* jammcq needs to search for some NFS profiling tools
06:46* jammcq needs to eat breakfast and head to the office
06:46
<ogra>
btw, i see the high rsize and wsize values here as well, but all other options are differnt
06:46
i.e. like initramfs defines them
06:47
<jammcq>
I sure don't understand those high values
06:47tiagovaz has joined #ltsp

<jammcq>
1/4 mb of ram for each
06:47
<ogra>
xlsfonts is a extremely small split out program that was in xbase-clients before ... its installed in debian as well, just not as separate package
06:47
<jammcq>
ah
06:48
so prolly nothing would be gained
06:48
<ogra>
nope
06:48
but i'm happy for now
06:48
<jammcq>
I'm sure it's a huge improvement
06:48
<ogra>
i'm doing some chroot testbuilds today, if they all are fine, i'm fie to release as is
06:49
<jammcq>
and i'm confident that for Feisty+1 we can make an even bigger improvement
06:49
<ogra>
(thursday is final freeze)
06:49
<jammcq>
:)
06:49
<ogra>
yeah
06:49
<jammcq>
just in the nick of time
06:49
<ogra>
well, that was really a matter of luck
06:50
if i wouldnt have worked on the C greeter (which i actually shouldnt do at the moment, there is enough release crap ....)
06:50
and if that wouldnt have crashed ....
06:50
<jammcq>
good ole strace
06:50
<ogra>
i'm searching for the slowness since pre-edgy
06:50
so it was really luck
06:51
<jammcq>
very handy tool to have in your toolbox
06:51
<ogra>
yeah
06:51
meh ... module-init-tools is broken it seems ... cant build chroots
06:51
grmbl
06:52
<jammcq>
bummer
06:55
ok, heading out. see ya'll in a bit

cliebow_: "grayscreen" is No login, and only a grey screen? See http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Troubleshooting-GrayScreen#GDM
07:26
<ogra>
cliebow_, yeah, you need to do it on an nfs rw mount from a client
07:26

07:30

yes

i didnt know my ipod has a stopwatch ...
07:55
and i didnt know my mobile hasnt :)
07:55
<jammcq>
i'm trying to remove xfonts-75dpi and xfongs-100dpi, and apt-get wants to also remove xorg
07:55
<ogra>
thats fine
07:55
its only a metapackage
07:56
<jammcq>
ok
07:56
<ogra>
i already made the change to the source here ... works as expected just lots faster :)
07:56
and found two new bugs i'm just working on
07:56
... one done ...
07:57
now to make sure all the localdev doesnt start over and over on every new login and your yaboot patch and i should be done

ogra, jim: is there anyway we can split the ltsp keys server magic from the ltsp-server package
08:17
<ogra>
why would you do that ?
08:18
its a n integrated whole ...
08:18
<dem>
because my tftp server & nfs, and dhcp each are on totaly seprate boxes from the machines that applications run on
08:19
<ogra>
well, you dont need to run ltsp-update-sshkeys ... you cna populate the keys manually if you want
08:19
<cliebow_>
God this gnome settings daemon crap..
08:19
<ogra>
i agree that the command could use a --server option for that
08:19JMBarbosa has quit IRC
08:20
<dem>
yeah, but then it could be done automaticaly
08:20
<ogra>
so you could define additional servers
08:21
automatically means to me that something works out of the box
08:21
<dem>
true
08:21
<ogra>
what you are doing is something that requires manual intervention anyway ...
08:22
so adding options to the manual tools should be the right way, splitting out a separate package fro ~20 lines of shellscript is a bit overkill :)
08:22* ogra gets some food
08:24
<dem>
ogra: it's the debian way :)

Xlib: connection to "ws001.internal.redvo.com:0.0" refused by server

ogra:start to finish on ppc ibook g4 90 seconds overall...30 secinds is post..
08:59
so shaved almost 60 seconds in my book
08:59

yay
08:59
<cliebow_>
yay!
08:59

9 is still to much though, but it should also *feel* a lot faster

jammcq, got times for ldm only ?
09:00
<jammcq>
yep
09:00
<ogra>
before vs after `
09:00
?
09:00
<jammcq>
48 seconds
09:00
<cliebow_>
biggest ppc problem is mouse is wicked slow
09:00
<ogra>
48secs only for ldm ?
09:00
<jammcq>
click the log-out button, and it takes 48 seconds for the login prompt to re-appear
09:00
<ogra>
i meant from showing the X to having a login screen
09:00
<jammcq>
I'll check that
09:00
<ogra>
on the 2300 ?
09:00
<jammcq>
yep

carlos I installed a SCSI driver on a server, made it work and all was great, then my boss asks me, how can linux read the SCSI drive if its driver is ON the actual SCSI drive that will be read? wtf? can someone shed some light? thanks

manage to get the login workin' but it stays suck... or should i leave it.. to try to login ?
09:09
<vanya>
irule, I think BIOS loads GRUB, and GRUB loads kernel using BIOS call. Then Linux kernel has SCSI support compiled in or on initramfs
09:10
<ogra>
that still requires the initramfs to me elsewhere though

grub even
09:21
and then stage 1.5
09:21
stage 1.5 is "drivers" for diffrent filesystems so it can find and get the kernel & initramfs

Morning all
09:29
<ogra>
i dont think its the 6M ... i think the crux is *which* 6M that are
09:30
<jammcq>
watching iptraf for eth0, which only has the client connected, the throughput rarely goes above 2mb/sec for ubuntu
09:30
<ogra>
well, on the 2300 it might have an impact to use the 6M
09:30
<jammcq>
for Debian, I see spikes of more than 14mbit/sec
09:30
it's NOT the 6mb

sbalneav, i got ldm down to 8 seconds here on my t-1220
09:34
<sbalneav>
ogra: Didn't get a chance to dig into ldm last night, as LaserJock and I were finishing off the handbook last night.
09:34
ah, what was the issue?
09:34
<ogra>
sbalneav, i found the prob
09:35
we load megabytes of unused fonts
09:35
<sbalneav>
This in the greeter?
09:35
Or in LDM itself?
09:35
<ogra>
well, its X that loads them
09:35
<jammcq>
oddly, debian still loads the same unused fonts, yet it's fast :)
09:35
<ogra>
so the loading of X took ages ...
09:36* jammcq is convinced this is an NFS performance issue
09:36
<ogra>
jammcq, well, but it was the cause for my 20sec delay that didnt change no matter what i did to the code
09:36
right, that as well
09:36
<jammcq>
it was 20 secs, cuz NFS was slow
09:36
<sbalneav>
We notice the same slowness with ldm here. On edgy. There a quick fix?
09:36
<jammcq>
if nfs was fast, the delay would also go away
09:36
<ogra>
it was *always* 20 secs
09:36
even if i dropped all code inbetween
09:37
or added tons
09:37
thats the thig that bothered me since pre-edgy ...
09:37
especially because i always thought it was the greeters fault
09:37
whichit apparently wasnt
09:37
<jammcq>
20secs on a t1220 turns into 60 seconds on a e2300
09:37
<ogra>
yep
09:37
<jammcq>
which is huge
09:37
<ogra>
i know
09:38
<sbalneav>
So, this is boiling down to an NFS problem?
09:38
<ogra>
but given that you showed me the HW after all freezes i find we did y good job until now :)
09:38
<jammcq>
sbalneav: that's my theory
09:38
<ogra>
s/y/a
09:39
<jammcq>
ogra: i'm VERY happy with the improvements
09:39
<ogra>
great :D
09:39
<joebaker>
Ogra: I tested an Xubuntu Beta 4 cd last night at our local LUG meeting. The install failed to Built the LTSP chroot environment after some considerable time. This was the alternate install CD. Is there a log file on the system somewhere that I might send to you? Also the LILO configurator didn't give the option to install to SDA, rather since I'd created a MD (RAID one) device across two 40 Gig drives, then created an LVM Volume
09:39
<jammcq>
it's more than I expected, this late in the game
09:39
<sbalneav>
So, we have a fix? What is it? c'mon C'MON Don't leave me in suspense!!! :)
09:39
<jammcq>
sbalneav: remove some of the font packages
09:39
or better, don't install them to begin with
09:40
<sbalneav>
Which, in the chroot?
09:40
<jammcq>
yep
09:40
<ogra>
lilo -> please contact the kernel team, for the log: /var/log/installer/syslog is the ne that has all info about the ltsp build
09:40
<jammcq>
xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi
09:40

joebaker, ^^^
09:40
jammcq, and -scalable
09:40
<joebaker>
thanks ogra
09:40
<jammcq>
hmm, I didn't remove that one
09:40
<ogra>
joebaker, i suspect xubuntu doesnt ship the -i386 kernel anymore
09:41
so it wont find that package on the CD

now i'm checking to make sure xdmcp still works
09:48* ogra just thinks jammcq's knuckles degrade slowly from all that stopwatch hitting
09:49
<SBNet>
is there a way to setup a boot image on a cd so that it boots and gets an ip and then loads ltsp, without the dhcp server having any of the image location information. I need to setup a boot cd so students can boot to ltsp without me having to make any changes to my dhcp server
09:50
<vagrantc>
SBNet: you'd be better off providing a boot menu
09:51
SBNet: i.e. configure pxelinux.0 to boot the various different boot options ...
09:51
<jammcq>
ogra: the good news is xdmcp still works :)
09:51* vagrantc wonders if some thing sstart getting ugly without scalable fonts
09:51

and the bad ?

vagrantc, X apps

10:00dtrask has joined #ltsp

<SBNet>
i do, but it's a windows nt4 dhcp server and we aren't sure where to put the boot information, so we would like to use a boot cd that has the location of where the ltsp server is on it so it doesn't have to get it from the dhcp server
10:00
<vagrantc>
SBNet: probably your best bet is to configure a CD to boot etherboot images, and use etherboot images configured to get dhcp on an alternate port ...
10:01
<sbalneav>
SBNet: Why don't you simply add another card to your LTSP server. You run a dhcp server on the LTSP server that only serves to that card, and hang the terminal switch off that.
10:01
<cliebow_>
someone say Maine?
10:01
<sbalneav>
i.e. eth0 is your main network, eth1 is the LTSP terminal side, and the dhcp server that's on the LTSP server only listens to eth1

cliebow_: once we get the dates nailed down for BTS we'll contact David Lloyd

10:06* cliebow_ cliebow's eyes tear up
10:06

i don't think it will be upgraded

Download the image, then do a "mount -t vfat -o loop floppy.img /mountpoint"
10:13
<SBNet>
ok
10:13
<sbalneav>
Or, you could add the bits to your dhcp server
10:15* dtrask thinks windows dhcp sucks
10:15

10:18
not 2
10:18
i wouldnt make fuss around 2 secs :)
10:18

ok, for 20 seconds, sure.
10:18
<dtrask>
2 secs! Wheee!
10:18
LOL
10:19

apart from that jammcq found heavy differences in ubuntu vs debian nfs speed
10:19
<vagrantc>
ogra: this goes with my master plan of ltsp-client-core :)
10:19
<ogra>
yeah ...
10:20
<vagrantc>
ogra: we put all the packages we want into ltsp-client as a dependency, and then split out the core functionality into ltsp-client-core
10:20
since etch is in a hard freeze, i should start working on new stuff again :)
10:20
<ogra>
well, thats what the metapackage was thougt for initially ...
10:20
(ubuntu-thin-client ... should ahve had a debian-thing-client as well)
10:21
but i didnt make ay use of it yet and you dropped it ;)
10:21
s/ay/any/
10:21
<vagrantc>
well, it was only a recommends...
10:21
<ogra>
yeah its nonsense as is
10:21
<vagrantc>
a recommends on something that didn't even exist :)
10:22
<ogra>
but my plan was to have a ubuntu-thin-client-server and a ubuntu-thin-client metapackage at some point
10:22
where -server will depend on ssh and all the stuff we have in recommends for ltsp-server atm
10:22
<vagrantc>
i'm amenable to that...
10:22
<ogra>
so you only have to install a single package
10:22
<vagrantc>
though why brand it with ubuntu?
10:23
<ogra>
which could later even include the gui parts
10:23
because it was already branded :) i dont care, we can drop it
10:23
but that would also help the naming switch ltsp->thin client server
10:24
<vagrantc>
ah.
10:24
then ltsp could be just one thin-client implementation amoung all the others :P
10:24
<ogra>
so we still have ltsp packages ... but expose them to the user as thin-client-something
10:25
<vagrantc>
i'm down with that

SBNet: what are you trying to do?
10:31
<jammcq>
you do NOT need /dev/ram0
10:31
just give it a normal mount point, like /mnt
10:31

mount it to a ram location, since it won't actually be used, i only have one, cdrom!

now where would i put the info to point to the ltsp server
10:34

ogra: left-handed adjustable monkey wrench
10:34

10:34
<jammcq>
sbalneav: you don't
10:34
we get the info via dhcp
10:35
<joebaker>
ogra: I don't think the problem is LILO's fault that I encountered yesterday. It would be the part of the installer that configure's lilo. What's the installer called?

10:40

10:40
you'd need to put in in pxelinux.cfg/default on your tftp server
10:40
<SBNet>
i'm running fc6 on this box, but i'm working on this etherboot disk, trying to figure out where to add the information to make the etherboot image boot from the ltsp
10:41Avatara has quit IRC
10:41
<vagrantc>
SBNet: you'll have to regenerate all the etherboot images to support dhcp on an alternate prot
10:41
port
10:42
<SBNet>
how would i go about that?
10:42
<vagrantc>
SBNet: what do you really want? i mean... what is your goal ... ?
10:42
in a very general sense...
10:42irule has quit IRC
10:43
<SBNet>
to have a bootcd that students can use anywhere on campus to boot up to an ltsp desktop as certain computer science classes use linux, so only about 10 people would be using this box at any one time
10:44
<vagrantc>
why do you want to use ltsp?
10:44
why not just use a livecd ?
10:45
<jammcq>
yeah
10:45
that's the way to do it
10:45
<SBNet>
because their information is for their class so the teacher will be adding different things throughout the course and they have to be able to access the same mysql db and server pages no matter where they are
10:46
<jammcq>
use a livecd, point the Xserver to log into the LTSP server
10:46
it's not hard
10:46
<SBNet>
if ltsp works the way we want off a bootcd, then we will most likely make all our labs use ltsp
10:47
if it's not hard, how would i set it up in the livecd
10:47
<jammcq>
on the live cd, where it launches X, you need to do: Xorg -query <ip_of_ltsp_server>
10:48
<SBNet>
ok
10:48
<vagrantc>
and if you really want to demonstrate how LTSP works, you should set up a second network card and set up at least 1 machine running off the server...
10:49
<SBNet>
well, we can do that no problem i have a fc6 router on the dorm network that we use for dynamic computer registration
10:49
so i can do that with no problem, but we are only looking into differnet things to use now and maybe put in over the summer
10:50
<vagrantc>
well, if you want to show how easy ltsp is to use, setting up a boot cd is the most complicated way you could come up with :)
10:51
LTSP is really easy as long as you have control of your dhcp server
10:51
<SBNet>
i know, but we can't do an entire lab with it cause many people around here won't like a switch to linux only desktops, so we are starting with a class that uses bootcds, then a lab and servers and then from there
10:51
<vagrantc>
you can do dual boot over the network
10:51
<SBNet>
we do, but we are still looking into where to add the image information to it so all computers on the network get it, not just one
10:51
<vagrantc>
that would be the easiest way to go
10:52
SBNet: these machines have windows on the hard drive?
10:52
<SBNet>
yeah
10:53
<vagrantc>
so you could set up a network boot menu that gives the option of running locally or LTSP
10:54
locally being the windows on the hard drive
10:54dtrask has joined #ltsp
10:54
<vagrantc>
that's probably by far the easiest way to go
10:54
<SBNet>
ok, that's fine i guess, was wanting so they always boot locally unless the cd is in, then the cd boots which boots directly to ltsp
10:55
well, if i had instructions on how to do it, i would, but i don't know how, i've only done dual local boots never boots over the network
10:56
<vagrantc>
well, you can set it up so they boot to windows or LTSP by default ... you maintain all the configuration on your server. all you need to do is configure the machines to enable PXE boot- any recent machine will most likely support it.
10:57
<sbalneav>
The only issue holding you back is adding the stuff that LTSP needs to the windows dhcp server. After that, a cdrom etherboot image will do exactly what you want.
10:57
<vagrantc>
that too
10:57
<SBNet>
well, we are working on figuring out how to add the ltsp info to the dhcp server
10:58
<jammcq>
and... the things you need to add won't disrupt the windows boxes
10:58
<SBNet>
i would use the static mac instructions but then that would have to be for every computer on campus, hundreds!! so one general thing
10:58
<vagrantc>
nah, go dynamic dhcp

ok, you want a question, i got one for ya
12:49
ohhh now you don't wanna answer my question since i've got one!!!
12:54
<cliebow_>
im busy!
12:55
not really..but i prob cant answer anyway
12:55
<SBNet>
i've got my server setup to do the boot options but when it does the tftp image, it comes back saying it can't locate the image
12:55
or times out i should say
12:56
<cliebow_>
lemme look in my win dhcp..option 67 looks like
12:57
you do know win dhcp pads the root-path right?
12:57
<SBNet>
mine is: /lts/2.6.16.1-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0
12:57
nope never done this before
12:57
<cliebow_>
i vcould swear it is on the wiki..
13:00
http://ltsp.sourceforge.net/contrib/parallel_dhcp.txt
13:01
anyway option 66 is ipofserver
13:01
option67 looks ok
13:02
II. You can use the Windows DHCP server with some tweaking.
13:02
1. Create the symlink /opt/ltsp/i386000 to point to /opt/ltsp/i386. This is
13:02
because we've seen Windows DHCP servers zero-pad root path strings.
13:02
2. Set the bootfile (option 67) and rootpath (17), options to the
13:02
location of the kernel and the root path respectively
13:02
<SBNet>
yeah my ltsp server is 10.40.0.29, umm option 17 is /opt/ltsp/i386 and op 67 is /lts/2.6.16.1-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0
13:02
<cliebow_>
and 66?
13:03
<SBNet>
10.40.0.29
13:03
<cliebow_>
my option 17 (forltsp-4.2) is ipofserver:/opt/ltsp/i386
13:03
<SBNet>
does it help if i'm trying to tftp to it, connect but can't run get lts/2.6.16.1-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0 without it timing out
13:04
<cliebow_>
but the simlink above is important

we use hpa-tfp on diffrent machine
13:26
<cliebow_>
dem: how about netbooting ibooks from windows/
13:26
<SBNet>
hey i got it booting, jut got to setup nfs on the machine, can't find the drive to mount
13:27
<cliebow_>
SBNet:remember that simlink
13:27
<dem>
why not, you can't use pxelinux
13:27
<cliebow_>
not with an ibook you cant
13:28
<SBNet>
my first issue was that it couldn't fine the server so i put this for 17 10.40.0.29:/opt/ltsp/i386, found the server but couldn't mount so now to nfs
13:28
<cliebow_>
dont forget that simlink
13:29
<SBNet>
ok how do i setup the nfs share for the thing, it's on but i don't see where the config program for it is
13:30
<cliebow_>
config for what??
13:30
<SBNet>
to tell the nfs server what directory to share out
13:30
<cliebow_>
/etc/exports..but it is prob all set up for you
13:31
your prob i think is that windows pads the nfs request
13:32
<SBNet>
well my machine is a fedora core 5 virtual machine and the computer connecting is an hp laptop using pxe boot
13:32
restarting my vm box to make sure everything went right and i had to add the stuff to export
13:33
<cliebow_>
f you specify /opt/ltsp/i386 in windows dhcp..it looks to linux like it is asking for /opt/ltsp/i386000
13:33
so you need to ln -s /opt/ltsp/i386 /opt/ltsp/i386000
13:34
<SBNet>
ok, when it gets up and running again, i will

in my pxe boot output it said it was looking for 10.40.0.29:/opt/ltsp/i386 so maybe its right or not, i'll see in a minute

you should have seen my first Macintosh booting to redhat7
13:50
<SBNet>
ok, so i just create a user on the fedora box and ltsp will inherit the user?
13:50

13:51
<cliebow_>
hook your redhat box to ldap and of a sudden all users can authenticate
13:52
wnat to add the nesest openoffice..put it on the server and all terminals instantly have it
13:52
<SBNet>
see we are using ads and i haven't been able to get that working, been doing it for a while. think i might just setup a separate ldap server that just gets usernames and password from the ads server and ldap is used by linux while windows uses ads
13:52
<cliebow_>
something like that
13:52
<SBNet>
since i can get all usernames and passwords from ads with one command
13:53
<cliebow_>
or use winbind..we did that a few years
13:53
<dtrask>
cliebow_: Sorry....school let out....had to get the kids outta' here. UNH opens hopefully in a week or so...we're still waiting them

13:58
