00:03
<BGomes_>
vagrantc: that is not good :(
00:03
<vagrantc>
well, it is not upstream
00:03
BGomes_: where did you find that branch?
00:03
it probably needs to be updated
00:05
<BGomes_>
vagrantc: I am start integration this script in slackware, but I will woking with upstream
00:05
vagrantc: I want working with upstream
00:06
<vagrantc>
well, upstream is, for the moment: http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/ltsp/
00:07
BGomes_: that's a bzr branch
00:07
there's a separate branch for ldm
00:07BGomes has quit IRC
00:07
<vagrantc>
these branches were just put together in the last week or two
00:07

BGomes: i think ogra wrote the ltsp-nbd script
00:19
BGomes: yes, the suse stuff is very different
00:21
<BGomes>
vagrantc: and slackware, we will write more simple init, kiwi-ltsp is strong
00:27
<IRCzito>

Hi back! When I switch on my client it falls back to a busybox intramfs shell... It was working yesterday (until I fiddled with the server's xorg conf) What could be wrong?

<tuunix>
What exactly do mean with "client"? A thin client connected to an LTSP-Server?
11:00DonSilver has joined #ltsp
11:01
<upro>
yes, the client connected to my server. When I switch on the client it shows the ubuntu gauge, but drops back to busybox after some seconds
11:04
<tuunix>
Are there any X-related modifications in the lts.conf?
11:04outofrange has joined #ltsp
11:05
<outofrange>
Confused again
11:06DonSilver has quit IRC
11:08DonSilver has joined #ltsp

tuunix: The lts.conf in /opt/i386?
11:10
<tuunix>
Yes
11:10
<upro>
tuunix: the file dioes not contain any uncommented line...
11:10
tuunix: can I just copy /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client-core/examples/lts.conf ?
11:12
<tuunix>
If the options set in this file apply to you, the yes. Otherwise it would be a bad idea.
11:13
Does the busybox shell allow you to have a look at the Xorg.log which resides in /var/log?
11:17
Uh oh, forget it, if your client presents you a busybox shell, it is most likely a kernel related problem.
11:18
<jammcq>
if you are getting the busybox shell, it means that the root filesystem couldn't be mounted
11:18DonSilver has quit IRC
11:18
<jammcq>
to see what's going on, find the pxe config file and remove the 'quiet splash' from the end of the boot line
11:18
<outofrange>
lts.conf is fetched via tftp. What copies it to /etc/lts.conf on the client? My lts.conf isn't making it to the client.
11:18
<jammcq>
then reboot the client and watch what happens
11:18
<upro>
the pxe.cponfig file on the client?
11:18
<jammcq>
upro: no, on the server
11:19
look for pxelinux.cfg/default
11:19
it's somewhere in /var/lib/tftpboot
11:19
<upro>
jammcq: ok, got it. Should I reve "quiet"?
11:20
<jammcq>
yes, and splash
11:20
or usplash
11:20
<upro>
jammcq: and now boot the client?
11:20
<jammcq>
yeah
11:21
<upro>
jammcq: hold on
11:22DonSilver has joined #ltsp
11:24
<upro>
jammcq: fu***, it boots and runs like a charm... and I didn't do anything apart from commenting splash and quiet...
11:26Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp
11:26edgarin has quit IRC

<tuunix>
Reminds me of an NFS-related problem I once had with a client. Most of the time it failed to fetch its root filesystem and the only error message I got was "short read 0 < 28"...
11:29
<upro>
tuunix jammcq thanks for your help!
11:29
<tuunix>
I guess it's jammcq's karma ;)
11:30
The Edubuntu 7.10 release notes state that LDM now features "mutliple server support"? What does this actually mean?
11:30
Is there some kind of load balancing support for multiple LTSP servers?
11:30
<jammcq>
you can have multiple servers, and the user can choose which one they want to log in to
11:31
also, some crude load balancing
11:32
<tuunix>
How do I configure it?
11:32
<jammcq>
umm, dunno. I didn't work on that
11:34
<tuunix>
Well, since I failed to google some information regarding this, I guess I have to inspect LDM's source code...sigh...
11:35
<outofrange>
Crap. When I net boot my i386 machines it's requesting /lts.conf over tftp, not /ltsp/i386/lts.conf
11:35
What tell the server what lts.conf file to fetch?
11:36
the cleint, I mena
11:36* outofrange needs first cup of coffee
11:39DonSilver has quit IRC
11:40
<tuunix>
I don't know the implementation details, but I think the client first tries to fetch its lts.conf via tftp and forgets about the other locations if it finds one.
11:41
<outofrange>
Hum. Confusing. there's not lts.conf in the root (wireshark shows file not found from the tfpt server). Then it doesn't try any other file.
11:41DonSilver has joined #ltsp
11:41
<outofrange>
The docs indicate that the lts.conf should be in the root, too. But it's picking up my lts.conf in my powerpc dir.
11:42* outofrange scratches his head
11:42
<tuunix>
Also, if you like to use the lts.conf within the client chroot, you have to rebuild the SquashFS image every time you make modifications to it.
11:43
<outofrange>
Yes, I understand that.
11:43
<tuunix>
Ok sorry, I just tried to help :)
11:43
<outofrange>
;)
11:44
I'm going to book a powerpc client and see what wireshark reports
11:44
Know of a way to do a reverse tunnel from a client so I can get a shell on the client from another machine? That is, w/o installing sshd on the client.
11:44
2
11:45
<jammcq>
why not install sshd?
11:45DonSilver has quit IRC
11:45
<outofrange>
I could -- and just not have it start by default.
11:46
jammcq: do you know the reason for the squashfs instead of just NFS mounting the chroot?
11:47DonSilver has joined #ltsp
11:47
<tuunix>
It's way faster...
11:47
And normally less error prone...normally...
11:48
<outofrange>
Why faster -- because it's compressed over the wire?
11:48
<jammcq>
yes, much faster
11:48
<tuunix>
Yes, and much less overhead.
11:48
<outofrange>
NFS can't be compressed?
11:49tux_440volt has quit IRC
11:49
<jammcq>
nope
11:49
<outofrange>
I see.
11:49DonSilver has quit IRC
11:50
<outofrange>
Interesting. So the powerpc client only requests ltsp/powerpc/lts.conf and my i386 machine only requests /lts.conf
11:50
<tuunix>
NFS preformance sucks if many clients simultanously request many small files, which is the case if the clients access their init scripts
11:50DonSilver has joined #ltsp
11:50
<outofrange>
Maybe the two initrd have different paths for that file.
11:56
<tuunix>
The scripts used in the initrd reside in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/ (in the respective chroot environments), if you want to inspect that further.
11:56
<outofrange>
Thanks.
11:57
There's a script for rebuilding the initrd, I assume? (although I'm just moving my lts.conf now).
11:58frownix has joined #ltsp
11:58
<tuunix>
Yes, it's called update-initramfs.
12:00
It looks for scripts the aforementioned location and integrates them into the final inird image.
12:00
That how things like dm-crypt and LVM2 get integrated into the early boot phase.

Crazy stuff.
12:44
I move lts.conf to tftp root and then symlinked it into powerpc. tftp reported file not found. rm and then copied it and it works.
12:44
Yet, my yaboot.conf is symlinked.
12:45
Both are fetched with tftp so you would think symlinks either work or they don't. Odd.

And is it the same installation method (chroot /opt/ltsp/arch ; apt-get install vncpackage) ?

hi peoples
22:55
i am searching software for point of sale
22:55
<johnny_>
well.. this isn't really the right channel for that
22:56
we've been using a custom one where i deploy ltsp tho
22:58
it's focused on books and food atm
22:58
i'd like to know of one that works better and is more reliable tho, if it exists
22:59
hmm...that's badly stated
22:59
cuz it is reliable, since the original developer still works at the place we use it
23:00
but it'd be nice if we had one that already had a strong development team behind it
