06:44
<ari_stress>
cliebow: i'm using ltsp5 on feisty, can we prevent user from "shutting down" the server when he exit and click on his ltsp client?
06:45
<cliebow>
have you looked at pessulus?
06:45
<ari_stress>
what's that
06:45
<cliebow>
it is a way of locking down desktop
06:45
<ari_stress>
ok i'm googling it, cooool
06:46
hey, it's said that it's already included in gnome?
06:48
<cliebow>
i cant remember..i typed pessulus at a commandline
06:48

whats best system for built in LTSP that needs no downloads except for disc
08:15
anybody here?
08:31
<ari_stress>
yes
08:31
wazzup
08:32
ziroday: i think so far it's edubuntu
08:38
<ziroday>
wow someones here
08:38
hey
08:40
<ari_stress>
yes
08:40
wazzup
08:48
<ziroday>
um what distro would you reccomend
08:48
to install LTSP without installing
08:48
i mean downloading
08:48
just installs straigth off the dics
08:48
besides edubuntu, coz that never works
08:49
<ari_stress>
ziroday: i highly recommend edubuntu
08:49
oh
08:49
mm..
08:50
so far only edubuntu provides out of disc integration
08:50
<ziroday>
yeah but it never seems to work for me
08:50
it gives me error on Build LTSP Chroot
08:51
its also only in server edition
08:51
which from what i understand has no gui
08:51
<ari_stress>
then you are using edubuntu server, it's ok
08:51
if you want gui, you can install it
08:51
sudo apt-get edubuntu-desktop
08:52
<ziroday>
ok, but the trouble is this setup is being used by a NGO in indonesia
08:52
where internet at best is 0.2mps
08:52
at only works for 2 hrs straight
08:52
<ari_stress>
that's true :)
08:52
well
08:52
yes
08:53
to build the client environment, we need internet access
08:53
<ziroday>
but with edubuntu
08:53
do you need internet access?
08:53
<ari_stress>
i dont think so, but i'm not sure
08:54
i'm using original ubuntu
08:54
<ziroday>
ok if i install the gui, do i have to rebuild ltsp to give all the servers gui
08:54
or does it auto update
08:54
<ari_stress>
automatically
08:55
<ziroday>
ok
08:55
so in theory i could dl the desktop edition and server addtion
08:55
and then specify the desktop as a repo
08:55
and then install gui/
08:55
*?
08:55
<ari_stress>
that's what makes ubuntu so great. for example, i'm using original ubuntu (gnome) right?
08:56
<ziroday>
yeah same :)
08:56
<ari_stress>
all i do is sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, and voila, i have kubuntu :D
08:56
<ziroday>
ok then i think i understand
08:57
have you ever used edubuntu or xubuntu outta disc LTSP installation?
08:57
<ari_stress>
not yet, i'm still working on ltsp on original ubuntu
08:57
but guess what
08:57
<ziroday>
ok no prob just wondering what was most common issue for LTSP Chroot not building at start
08:57
<ari_stress>
yesterday i install xubuntu-desktop, and now my ltsp client all can open xfce on their desktop :D
08:57
<ziroday>
which happened to me :(
08:58
sweet
08:58
<ari_stress>
ziroday: just make sure you follow the steps correctly
08:58
<ziroday>
ari_stress: yeah no prob. is the Xubuntu and Edubuntu LTSP outta dicd mechanism the same or different?
08:58
*disc
08:59
<ari_stress>
the same
08:59
<ziroday>
hmmm
08:59
<ari_stress>
but we dont have to do a thing with edubuntu
08:59
<ziroday>
yeah
08:59
ok
08:59
<ari_stress>
it install ltsp right out of disk
09:00
<ziroday>
well ive got a friend in Jakarta now, who im going to fedex the discs to and hope it all works
09:00

hi folks
17:48
anybody have a link to docs that mention setting up ltsp with dnsmasq where dnsmasq is on another server
17:48
i'm confused my the cornucopia of dhcp options
17:48
s/my/by/
17:48
<dberkholz>
just gotta add the option that points somewhere else for the nfs, right?
17:50
<johnny>
aha.. look.. it's dberkholz :)
17:50
i'm volunteering at a collectively run coffeeshop and i'm attempting to clean up their public terminal setup
17:50
and we have a router running openwrt and dnsmasq
17:51
they run ubuntu terminals already, but obviously the config is not centralized or clean
17:51
dberkholz, yeah i had some doc that mentioned it, but it didn't look obvious how to change it for another server
17:51
<dberkholz>
dhcp-option=17,192.168.1.106:/opt/ltsp/i386
17:51
dhcp-boot=/var/ftpd/pxelinux.0,boothost,192.168.0.3
17:51
those 2 should hook you up; first is nfs, second is pxe
17:52
<johnny>
it's the dhcp boot
17:52
oh.. is that relative to the actual set host not the host running dnsmasq?
17:52
that's what confused me :)
17:52
<dberkholz>
eh? the ip's you stick in there are the ones running the nfs/pxe servers
17:53
<johnny>
yeah.. but i see a path listing
17:53
/var/ftpd/pxelinux.0
17:53
<dberkholz>
that's path on the server
17:54
<johnny>
on the ltsp server
17:54
<dberkholz>
you're telling clients where to get at the stuff they need
17:54
combination of what ip to look, and where to look on that ip
17:55
<johnny>
so boothost is not something to replace
17:55
i guess i need to read the rfc to figure out the formats.. :(
17:56
<dberkholz>
um, no, you can just read the dnsmasq man page
17:56
at least for dhcp-boot
17:56
<johnny>
dnsmaq tells me to do dnsmasq --help dhcp
17:56
for description of the options
17:57
<dberkholz>
boothost is the name of the pxe server, in case you also want to supply that
17:57
<johnny>
but it just prints out like i typed dnsmasq --help
17:59
hmm.. this is definitely a bit more complicated than i hoped :)
18:20
but it didn't get tftp
18:22
<dberkholz>
oh yeah, that's another one.
18:24
try dhcp-option=66,ip
18:43
<johnny>
what about 150 vs 128?
18:43
66 is name
18:44
<dberkholz>
i'm not really sure about the details, because i've always run it all on the same server to keep things easy.
18:47
<johnny>
can't run it on openwrt :(
18:52
<dberkholz>
heh, considered running dns on the ltsp server instead?
18:54
<johnny>
i would prefer not to :)
