hello
02:44
I've just installed ltsp 5 under ubuntu
02:44
and I'm trying to get my client to etherboot
02:45
I've followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPEtherbootSetup
02:45
but the client just keeps rebooting.
02:45
anyone got any ideas?

well it finds the file, because if I remove it it moans "can't find file"
03:23
So I know the problem is not dhcp or tftp

I've also think I've seen a series of dots flash past but they flash past so quickly I'm not 100% sure.
03:26
<tyndyll>
One thing i've tried is hitting scroll lock while everything is streaming past

I'm guessing that its the kernel thats wrong.
03:32
I'm thinking there is some problem with the sudo mknbi-linux --output=vmlinuz.etherboot --rootdir="/dev/ram0" --append="rw" vmlinuz initrd.img command

can anybody give me a hint how to compile fuse on amd64 on gentoo as x86 binary? I have done that before, but forget how..
04:51
it is needed for using fuse from ltspfs
04:53
<sep>
you can compile in a x86 chroot
04:53
?

hi, does debian 64bit ltsp produce bootup and OS for 32 bit client?
07:28
<sep>
i assume "not unless you tell it to. "
07:29
<markit>
sep: what do you mean? are you answering me?
07:29
<ogra>
the --arch i386 option of ltsp-build-client is your friend ;)
07:29
<markit>
ogra: thanks a lot :)
07:29
<ogra>
try --help as well ;) and --extra--help
07:34envite has quit IRC

mm I see that now there is also ltspfs (Fuse remote filesystem) package... is it necessary?
07:37
<ogra>
on the server, yes
07:38
<markit>
I had a ltsp "old style" experimental installation,then I went for the debian style one, but was not working at those time, and now I would like to try again
07:38
<ogra>
i think debian has a wikipage somewhere for ltspfs ...
07:38
<markit>
ogra: at those time nfs did the trick, or I remember wrongly?
07:38
<ogra>
but i dont know where from the top of my head ...
07:38
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices
07:38
should be essentially the same
07:38bronze has joined #ltsp
07:38
<markit>
thanks a lot
07:40
is it possible also to send sound from server to client?
07:40
<ogra>
sure
07:40
<markit>
good :)
07:41
<ogra>
i think the debian packag still uses esd though ...
07:41
<markit>
is not good?
07:41
<ogra>
but just setting Sound=True in lts.conf suld give you all you need
07:41
well, it limits the amount of apps that can do sound
07:41
esd sucks but was the best t use until pulseaudio showed up :)
07:44
<vanya>
sep, sorry, I was away. I don't want to compile for chroot, but for main system, just for 32 bits, using 32 libraries
07:45
sep, that's the only chance to use fuse from ltspfs 32 bit binary
07:45
<sep>
vanya, sorry. it's the only way i know. since i have not tinkered with such
07:51
<cyberorg>
hi ogra is there any documentation about how to create initrd and kernel for ltsp?
07:52
<ogra>
cyberorg, nope
07:52
<cyberorg>
hmm, so how do i go about doing it
07:52
<ogra>
use the nfsboot option of your initramfs creation tool :)
07:52
would be ny advise
07:52
*my
07:53markit has left #ltsp
07:53
<cyberorg>
any documentation about that you can point me to?
07:53
<ogra>
i only know the ubuntu side of things here ... where i just have to set BOOT=nfs and NFSROOT=auto in the config
07:53
i thought kiwi would care for that for you
07:54laurentdd has quit IRC
07:55
<cyberorg>
kiwi doesnt create nfsroot initrd yet
07:56
<ogra>
you can have a look at initramfs tools and mkinitramfs from ubuntu and check the code for nfs ...
07:56
but i assume suse simply does it differently and you need to find your own way here
07:57
<cyberorg>
yeah, we use mkinitrd to create it
07:57
<ogra>
we use mkinitramfs ...
07:58
mkinitrd doesnt exist in ubuntu ...
07:58Blinny has joined #ltsp
07:58
<ogra>
and initramfs-tools as a wrapper that provides hooks and script functions
07:58
<cyberorg>
fun fun :)
07:59
<ogra>
debian does it similar but their packages are differnt
07:59
<cyberorg>
no progress at all today, i am trying to get initrd and kernel done, probably some silly line missing
08:01
<ogra>
you could look at the ltsp 4.2 kernel kit, it probably has some hints ...
08:01
<cyberorg>
what / fstab entry should i keep when creating initrd?
08:01
<ogra>
none, initramfs should use /proc/mounts
08:02
<cyberorg>
mkinitrd needs / specified in fstab before it creates it
08:02
<ogra>
you only mount / ... in ubuntu thats happening under /root ... then it gets remounted as / in the end
08:02
wow, surely that bloats your initramfs
08:03
<cyberorg>
2.9 MB
08:04
<ogra>
with all _NIC drivers and firmware ? wow, thats small
08:04
mine is aoround 4M with udev and all stuff needed to bring the basic HW up
08:05
<cyberorg>
with all that it is 18 MB wow
08:05
<ogra>
aha
08:05
:)
08:05
i was already wondering what suse does to the mods to get them so small
08:06
<cyberorg>
i checked my system initrd first then the netboot i created for ltsp
08:09
<ogra>
18M sounds to big though ... it surely is for powerpc (yaboot can only handle 6M initramfs'es)
08:09
<cyberorg>
i saw in one of your scripts some echo "/dev/root / xxxx " > /etc/fstab
08:09
<ogra>
thats from an initscript iirc ...
08:10
for the unionfs mount we dont use :)
08:10
is any ubuntu edgy rdesktop user in this channel atm ?
08:10
<-- looking for a tester for a fix
08:11
<cyberorg>
/dev/root / unionfs defaults 0 0 in ltsp-clients-setup.int
08:13
<ogra>
yes, its moot ... until we start using unionfs ...
08:13
we have a complete implementation, but unionfs over nfs was buggy until recently ...
08:13
i havent looked into it for the next release yet though
08:14
<cyberorg>
so what is used now plain mount -t nfs ?
08:14
<ogra>
nfsmount from klibc
08:14
but you can use any mount proggy your distro provides in initramfs
08:14
<cyberorg>
ok
08:15
<ogra>
i'm just working on nfs4 integration in ubuntu for example and since klibc doesnt know about nfs4 yet i just copy the util-linux mount binary into the initramfs
08:17
<cyberorg>
unionfs over nfs4 is good?
08:17
<ogra>
no idea
08:18
nfs4 by default in ltsp is good (i hope) :)
08:18
you can either run it like v3 or add an optional kerberos encryption layer if you want to
08:19
since we already support encrypted network swapping, why not also support optional nfs root encryption ... some people will be paranoid enugh to want to use that :)
08:19
<cyberorg>
i am not even paranoid enough to understand ssh overheads to run X :)
08:20
<ogra>
u dont need X installed and running on the server ...
08:20
for an ssh tunnel
08:20
it has many advantages ...
08:20
and some disadvantages for very low level HW
08:21
i think the advantages prevail
08:21
<cyberorg>
yeas, that is a big advantage, i can keep server on runlevel 3
08:21
<ogra>
whatever that means :)
08:22
<cyberorg>
X not even required on server?
08:22
<ogra>
no
08:22
not at all
08:23
<cyberorg>
that is a big advantage
08:23
<ogra>
yu will need xlibs i guess, but no running X server
08:23
<cyberorg>
yeah, that is what i thought, it would surely have to be installed, but not running
08:23
<ogra>
if ldm has a chooser mechanism one day you should be able to connect to any machine in your net that runs ssh
08:24
well, no
08:24
you dont need X but its libs
08:24Blinny has quit IRC
08:24
<ogra>
no need to install any of the drivers or to have a cofig or an X binary
08:25
(usually your desktop install should pull in the necessary libs)
08:25
<cyberorg>
btw, i have rpms ready for ltspfs and ltspfs-server
08:25
<ogra>
cool
08:26
link them on the ltsp wiki so they get testing :)
08:26
users that use the tarballs will need the ltspfs package on the server
08:26
so they can test for you ;)
08:27
<cyberorg>
yeah, i have ltspchroot almost ready, without ltsp clientside scripts and initrd/kernel to pxeboot
08:27
<ogra>
great
08:27
<cyberorg>
i was hoping to get atlease pxeboot working
08:27
then we can start looking at ldm and all the scripts
08:28
<ogra>
ldm should just work if you have the right deps installed
08:28
its plain pygtk
08:28
and python-gnomecanvas
08:29
<cyberorg>
i was using debian initrd and kernel to pxeboot suse chroot, but as kernel versions are different all the hardware modules failed to load, so keyboard on client worked, but no mouse :(
08:29
<ogra>
yeah
08:29
indeed
08:29
you will need to work through your initramfs creation tool i fear
08:30
its likely only a script so it should be easy to patch
08:30
<cyberorg>
hmm, build failed on the buildservice
08:31
ltspfs takes make DESTDIR=/somewhere parameter right?

I'm trying to get LTSP 5 to work under Ubuntu and my clients use etherboot.
08:52
<cliebow_>
k
08:52
<bluedragon>
So I've followed the instructions on creating an nbi kernel but they keep rebooting them seleves
08:53
<cliebow_>
why not use the one provided?
08:53
<modee>
cliebow: be more specific with the questions please?
08:53
<bluedragon>
The created nbi file is twice the size of the ltsp 4.2 one
08:53
<jammcq>
you don't need to create a special nbi kernel
08:53
and yes, it'll be MUCH bigger than the 4.2 kernel
08:53
what version of Ubuntu?
08:53
<cyberorg>
hi jammcq
08:54
<cliebow_>
modee:gotta run..leave you in jammcq'sa hands

jammcq: hi there
08:54
<cyberorg>
we had a meeting yesterday, was a good start
08:55
getting ltsp 5 on suse
08:55
<jammcq>
cyberorg: yeah, I saw the minutes. any official Suse people there?
08:55
<modee>
jammcq: can you assist with my problem please?
08:55
<jammcq>
modee: well, first you have to tell me what the problem is
08:56
bluedragon: ah, then you do need to follow those directions. Feisty has etherboot/nbi kernel support
08:56
<bluedragon>
its not a specal kernal I just followed the instruction sudo mknbi-linux --output=vmlinuz.etherboot --rootdir="/dev/ram0" --append="rw" vmlinuz initrd.img
08:56
<cyberorg>
jammcq: mostly opensuse community guys, and schaefi, snorp from suse and pzb from novell

so if I upgrade to feisty I should be able to get it working...
08:57plamengr has quit IRC
08:57
<jammcq>
cyberorg: ah cool. it's important that you get suse/novell developers involved. It'll take some mods to official suse packages to make it all work
08:57
bluedragon: *should* yes
08:58
<modee>
jammqc: When I run firefox on all clients it slows the network down and some clients resets back to login screen?
08:59plamengr has joined #ltsp
09:02
<cyberorg>
jammcq: which packages could need change, i can directly involve package and developers working on that
09:02
<jammcq>
cyberorg: kernel and initramfs stuff, and probably some of the init scripts
09:03
<modee>
jammcq: did you see my issue?
09:03
<jammcq>
modee: yes. what's the slowdown? booting? launching apps? running the apps?
09:03
<cyberorg>
jammcq: on the server? i thought that would be only on chroot system
09:05

jammcq: Booting is fine, but when running the apps on all clients the network slows down
09:05
<jammcq>
cyberorg: yes, but the whole idea is to use DISTRO packages to build the chroot
09:05
modee: describe your network
09:06
<cyberorg>
jammcq: of course, schaefi is going to work on creating kiwi pxeboot-ltsp he is the developer of kiwi from suse
09:06
<jammcq>
ok, that might be the ticket to success
09:07
<cyberorg>
i tried building it today, without success, hopefully i'll be able to create it soon
09:08
<modee>
jammcq: ok... Server with the above specs, 1x 24 port switch and 1x 8 port switch, 27 clients. Is this what you meant?
09:08
<jammcq>
modee: 10mbit ? 100mbit? GigaBit ?
09:08
<cyberorg>
i got ltspfs and ltsp-server packages already up on opensuse build-service, they will sync out on all the mirrors shortly
09:09
<modee>
jammcq: on 24 port switch I 2x gigabit and 20x 100mbit
09:09
<jammcq>
cyberorg: you're a long way from needing ltspfs
09:09
<cyberorg>
yeah, that was easy part :)
09:09
<jammcq>
modee: are you sure it's the network that is slow, and not the server that is slow?
09:10
that is, is it network bandwidth that is causing the problem? or is your server running out of horsepower?
09:10
<cyberorg>
also something i can do, just packaging ;)
09:11
<modee>
jammcq: Not sure though... But I mean having a 3 gig zeon pro, and 4 gigs of ram, is this not surficiant?
09:11
<bluedragon>
When the server slows down what is the system load and what does free say?
09:11
<jammcq>
modee: should be, but you have a ton of tools to tell you if it is or not
09:12
have you run 'top' ?
09:13
<modee>
jammcq: ya... top and Htop wich tells a bit, and also ethstatus on server
09:13
jammcq: it seems like its network traffic
09:14
<Blinny>
Obvious question: Is the server plugged into one of the gigabit ports and running at gigabit speed?
09:15
<modee>
Blinny: yes that was what I checked first?
09:15
<jammcq>
modee: have you disabled nasty screen savers?
09:16
and why do you think it's network speed?
09:16
<modee>
jammcq: not having screen savers at all
09:16
<jammcq>
have you run iptraf, to watch the speed of the network?
09:17
<modee>
jammcq: That is just what I thought ans might be wrong
09:17
<jammcq>
my point is, you have tools available to help you find the bottlenecks
09:18
<modee>
jammcq: And ya maybe I dont know how to use those tools the right way, thats why I came here to intro my issue
09:18
<jammcq>
ok, are people using the computers right now?
09:19
<modee>
jammcq: its actually at some other place now, but they not using it now
09:20
<jammcq>
ok, gonna be kind of hard to diagnose the problem then
09:20
when you get a chance, try running 'top'
09:20
and pay attention to the 'Load average'
09:21
<Blinny>
Maybe 'vmstat' to check swpd levels
09:22
<jammcq>
yeah, but he can learn great info from top
09:22fxrsliberty_ has joined #ltsp
09:22
<jammcq>
vmstat requires a bit more knowledge of vm systems
09:22
<modee>
ok.... is there more....
09:23
I want to look into this when I get back to the client
09:23
<jammcq>
modee: if the load average is between 0.0 and 2.0, you are probably ok for CPU. if it's above 2.0, then you need to see what processes are eating up the cpu
09:24zald has joined #ltsp
09:24
<Blinny>
K I'll hush (:
09:24
<jammcq>
also, top will show you how much memory you have and how much swap is being used. If there's any amount of swap being used, you'll want to see why
09:24
some swapping is ok, but lots of swapping is a real problem
09:24
if there's any swapping going on, that's where vmstat will help tell more
09:26
<modee>
jammcq: cool...., seems fairly staight forward...
09:26
<jammcq>
modee: if you have a linux machine handy, go ahead and run those commands now

jammcq: will do so... Another thing is, if processers are eating up cpu, how do I fix this?
09:28
<jammcq>
modee: first, you need to identify which processes
09:29
<modee>
jammcq: ya... and...?
09:29
<jammcq>
and what? you need to identify, then we'll figure out what to do
09:29
top will show you the offenders
09:29

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help. I'm trying to set up LTSP to demonstrate a thin client set up for a charity that I volunteer for. Needing something quick for the demo I've installed K12LTSP on a virtual machine. I've got the server up and running, and have had 2 successful tests, one with another virtual machine and another with a Dell Optiplex 50. I'm now testing another machine and have an error coming up. The PC, a Dell Dimension 9100 is bootin
14:19ma_mu has quit IRC
14:20
<tyndyll>
It then says "Error! Could not automatically detect the network card"
14:20
<pscheie>
tyndyll: what kind of NIC is in the 9100?
14:21
<tyndyll>
Not 100% sure. Its onboard, and *seems* to be intel. A quick google search has suggested that "modprobe e100" should identigy it
14:22
<pscheie>
Is the Dimension 9100 a new/recent/late model Dell?
14:23
<tyndyll>
about a year and a half
14:23
<pscheie>
ok, that's not too new
14:23
I've got a new Toshiba laptop and LTSP doesn't support its NIC chip for it to be a client
14:24
if you're just doing a demo, you could throw, say, a realtek 8139 card in there and use that
14:24
<cliebow_>
tyndyll, can you get a pci id for that machine..so we can tell what driver..then you can specify it with option 128 and 9
14:24
in dhcpd.conf
14:25
<tyndyll>
do I do that with lspci?
14:26
<cliebow_>
yes..lspci -vv to see what pci id device it is..
14:26
<tyndyll>
Will try that now
14:26
<cliebow_>
then lspci -n and look at that bus id
14:27
option option-129 "NIC=3c509"..kind of like this
14:27
<pscheie>
doesn't lspci require that the kernel recognize the device? or does it just query the pci bus?

ogra: how much credit do you get for the fact that sound works properly on my Toshiba with feisty?
15:07
edubuntu feisty, that is
15:07
<ogra>
pscheie, if you run it as ltsp client, about 20% :)
15:08
the rest goes to crimsun in #ubuntu-devel :)

hey guys, got a general question.
15:11
<pscheie>
well, sound has 'worked' but the volume controls were all weird
15:11
<a5benwillis>
When I installed my system Iused a standard CD-Rom drive. Since then I've replaced that with a DVD-recorder. Now when I use Synaptic it asks for the cd but wont use theone in the dvd drive. Can I mout the cd-rom to the dvd-recorder location?
15:11
<pscheie>
and sound ALWAYS came out the speakers even if headphones were plugged in
15:11
same under FC6
15:12
but with feisty, the volume control works properly, and headphones work, too
15:12
yay!
