<mr_clark>
Still pretty buggy. I'm going to go back to K12LTSP for my LUG presentation.
00:02
So does LTSP by default encrypt all the communications?
00:13
<alkisg>
mr_clark, yes, unless you specify LDM_DIRECTX=True in lts.conf
00:13
<Ryan52>
ya, it all goes over ssh.
00:17
<kwak>
sbalneav: i'm using Dlink switch with 2Gb ports

00:20
<kwak>
if it;s the switch, why is it that it worked with K12linux (fedora 9)
00:20
puzzled. always happens to me.
00:27
<mr_clark>
Wow. I can't believe how much easier LTSP has gotten in the last few years. Thank you to the developers!
00:31
I gotta get to bed. G'night.

With the default lts.conf (=empty, just comments), getltscfg "anything" returns "Syntax error" instead of empty. I don't see any problems at all, but maybe an empty lts.conf should be parsed ok;

Okay, messing with RHEL 5 client here
01:59
(I know, not supported)
02:00
LDM "respawns" on login
02:00
The /var/log/ldm.log only lists ...
02:01
"Attempting ssh session as tcuser02
02:01
In set_message
02:01
ssh_chat: looking for ssword: from ssh
02:01
LDM2 starting"
02:01
Fedora 9 chroot works, so it's clearly something with my RHEL 5 client
02:01
Is there further debugging/info I can enable for LDM?
02:02
BTW, I've tried both DIRECTX = yes and no in my ltsp.conf

<highvoltage>
howdy. I want to try local apps in intrepid. is there a page with instructions somewhere?
04:50
I understand I just need to install my software in the chroot, put "LOCAL_APPS = Y
04:50
" in lts.conf, and make a .desktop file for the app?
04:50
how must the launcher in the .desktop file be like?
05:36
<ogra>
you need to set an xprop
05:40
<cyberorg>
ogra, hi, saw this? http://en.opensuse.org/Nomad
05:40
<ogra>
the ltsp-localapps script needs to go from the server examples dir to /usr/bin ...
05:41
cyberorg, heh, rdesktop server for linux ?
05:42
that might get everyone not being suse into massive patent trouble with MS
05:43
<cyberorg>
using DMX and RDP?
05:43
<ogra>
well, RDP on the server side is patented
05:46
<cyberorg>
oh well, may be that is why nomad was developed in "secrecy"
05:46
<highvoltage>
ogra: to /usr/bin on the server?
05:46
<ogra>
highvoltage, yes
05:46
<cyberorg>
i was just wondering about how to use it with ltsp
05:46
<ogra>
cyberorg, well, just do whats described
05:47
i know compiz works natively in ubuntu 8.10 anyway
05:47
so i dont think its needed to have dmx specifically
05:47
<highvoltage>
ogra: ah, then I just run ltsp-localapps xeyes on the client?
05:47
<cyberorg>
i am not sure what advantages it brings either
05:48
<ogra>
highvoltage, i dont know the exact runes (havent tried it myself) but yu need to call your app in the desktop file with the script as prefix or some such
05:48
<cyberorg>
local device support does not exist yet
05:48
<highvoltage>
ogra: ok, thanks
05:48
<ogra>
highvoltage, wait for stgraber to wake up ... he even made a ekiga call to me yesterday from a thin client (running ekiga as localapp)
05:49
<highvoltage>
ogra: ooh, nice!
05:49
<ogra>
(and told me he has (beyond compiz effects) even suspend to rm on his clients working properly)

<highvoltage>
ogra: I'm going to try it tomorrow. I'm going to test it tomorrow, I'm at a client atm and the thin client we wanted to test on doesn't power on
06:11
<ogra>
bah
06:11
<highvoltage>
ogra: I was talking about the suspend to ram on thin clients, that's quite cool
06:12
at least it's the client's hardware so it's not my fault :)
06:12
<ogra>
needs some manual changes
06:12
you need to allow it in /etc/sudoers on teh client afaik

ogra: is the ltsp-localapps script example only in intrepid ?
07:04
<devilbues>
Hi can anybody tell me if intrepid uses X_CONF parameter? It doesn't seem to do anything now
07:05
<nubae>
devilbues: u need to set CONFIGURE_X = True
07:05
<devilbues>
nubae: is there any web page with that info?
07:06
<nubae>
devilbues: u can blame me, Its in the documentation, but I havent uploaded it yet :-/
07:06
<devilbues>
nubae: no problem :)
07:06
testing...
07:09
nubae: i have this
07:09
CONFIGURE_X = True
07:09
X_CONF = /etc/X11/xorgtouch.conf
07:09
and it doesn't work
07:09
<nubae>
that should work just fine
07:09
did u update the image?
07:10
<devilbues>
no, do I have to, when I change lts.conf?
07:10
<nubae>
sure, /etc/X11/xorgtouch.conf is in the chroot
07:10
the variable is defined outside, but the script is inside
07:10
<devilbues>
ahhh, ok
07:12
<ogra>
Appiah, yes
07:12
<Appiah>
oh
07:12
Then I have to update :D

Does setting a System-wide proxy in System->Preferences->Network Proxy apply the setting to all users? I'm guessing not as it didn't ask me for sudo PW
08:05
<ogra>
if you click the "Apply Systemwide" button it does :)
08:06

woah
08:06
Is that an Intrepid thing?

I've read great things about printing support & the add printer interfaces. For my money, printing is the biggest pain in the ass when it comes to All Things Computing.
08:23
<Appiah>
I've been helpdesking at different places , the printing cases always feels like the worst
08:24
<nubae>
well its pretty much automatic now, no need to add anything
08:24
<Appiah>
server-side I dont think there is much pain
08:26

Life is (usually) much easier with really expensive laser printers

setting up small network that will support ltsp and other netboot features -- trying to keep dhcp/dns simple. Perhaps I should switch to dnsmasq for everything? your thoughts?
09:53Blinny has quit IRC
09:54
<pscheie>
jimcooncat, warren has talked about doing that for k12linux, but it's not being used there yet
09:54
I don't think it is, anyway
09:55* vagrantc has been a big fan of dnsmasq for ages
09:56nubae has quit IRC
09:56
<johnny>
yeah.. i use dnsmasq exclusively
09:56
<jimcooncat>
The first test I set up I got confused about where the dhcp config was stored, took me quite a bit of googleing to find out. I don't want to make things tough if someone has to come in to work on this
09:56
<johnny>
altho there was a bug that affected hardy in which it did not serve lts.conf via tftp
09:56
it was fixed in versions that came out later
09:57
<vagrantc>
johnny: which part got fixed?
09:57
<johnny>
the netascii
09:57
<vagrantc>
johnny: which package was changed?
09:57
<johnny>
dnsmasq?
09:57
<jimcooncat>
johnny: I'm installing hardy, this is fixed?
09:57
<johnny>
jimcooncat, i don't know if it ever got fixed in hardy
09:57
<vagrantc>
johnny: so it wasn't a workaround in the ltsp-side stuff?
09:57
<johnny>
you might need to get the newest one..
09:58
no
09:58
it was a bug in dnsmasq
09:58
i guess..
09:58
look at the changelog on the dnsmasq site, and search for netascii jimcooncat
09:58_UsUrPeR___ has quit IRC
09:59_UsUrPeR_ has joined #ltsp
09:59
<johnny>
jimcooncat, the workaround is simple tho, just keep it in the chroot /etc/lts.conf, it means that you need to update the chroot whenever you change it.. but it's not very serious
09:59
<jimcooncat>
thanks johnny. You're happy using dnsmasq rather than dhcp3 and bind? (I'm assuming that's the normal setup)
09:59alekibango has quit IRC
09:59
<johnny>
yes, been using it for over a year
10:00
but as i mentioned, my lts.conf is in chroot /etc/lts.conf
10:00
until i upgrade to intrepid
10:00CAN-o-SPAM has joined #ltsp
10:00
<jimcooncat>
k I'll keep that in mind
10:01
<johnny>
if a newer version got released for hardy..i maybe didn't notice
10:01
you can search dnsmasq changelog to see if the version in hardy matches the version that netascii issue was fixed
10:01
if you want to keep your lts.conf in the tftp ltsp/i386
10:02
<vagrantc>
i don't think it was fixed in 0.45
10:03
<johnny>
2.45 you mean?
10:03
<alkisg>
It was fixed in 0.42, I reported it
10:04
<johnny>
what is this 0.42?
10:04
don't you mean 2.42 ?
10:04
it's at 2.x not 0.x
10:04
<alkisg>
http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2008q2/002063.html
10:04
Yeap, sorry, 2.42
10:04
<jimcooncat>
hardy-updates has 2.41, intrepid is 2.45
10:05
<alkisg>
But it's easy to work around it if someone has an older version
10:05
jimcooncat, you may change a line in ltsp_nbd that works around it, want me to look for it?
10:06
<jimcooncat>
alkisg: nah, I'll see if I can backport intrepid's version thanks anyway
10:07
<alkisg>
found it anyway :) :https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/238010
10:10
<jimcooncat>
thanks alkisg! Wish they would fix stuff like this when they find it.
10:10
<alkisg>
jimcooncat, he did (the dnsmasq developer), he released the new fixed version some days afterwards
10:11
and in ltsp_nbd it's not really a bug, it was dnsmasq and virtualbox that were broken
10:11

Well you know how distros are, hard to accept new package versions in the same distro version, even in SRUs...

anyone know of anyway i can get my ltsp client to boot up faster? it currently takes ~5 minutes to boot
10:28
<johnny>
need more info than that to help
10:28
like client specs, which version of ltsp, whether you're using LDM_DIRECTX, etc
10:29_UsUrPeR_ has joined #ltsp
10:29
<babyhuey>
ltsp5 client is a jammin 125
10:29
dont think directx is enabled, i never set it
10:29
but x booting isnt where its slow, although it is a bit choppy
10:29
but i can worry about that later
10:29
it take 4 minutes to even get to x loading

hmm.. it doesn't say which ltsp version it works well with
10:34

that unit worked great with ltsp-4.2
10:34
not so great with ltsp-5
10:34

10:36

anyone know which ubuntu distro has 4.2 then?
10:36
<jammcq>
i think the cpu is only 200 or 300mhz and the memory is either 32mb or 64mb
10:36
and the graphics chip is one of the worst

<johnny>
babyhuey, not a single one that is supported
10:37
<babyhuey>
i dont care if its suported, i just need these clients to work
10:37
<alkisg>
babyhuey, which ubuntu version are you using?
10:38
<babyhuey>
8.10
10:38

Is the chroot updated or did you do the installation while on beta?
10:38hanthana has joined #ltsp

its the actual release, i just installed it like 2 days ago

only LX and GX are supported and according to the Xorg devs there wont be any backwards compatibility
10:41

the J125 is an GX2 I think
10:41

oh, right i misread
10:41
300 MHz NS GX-1 Processor
10:42* ogra mistook the NS

its is specific to the AMD CPU ... and seems to be same prob as with the SiS in the ebox 1000

working with ltsp_localapps on a Fedora server...
12:01
I have added local_apps = Y to the lts.conf
12:01

is there any other changes I need to make to get this running?

run something like xterm how?
12:02
plus it's LOCAL_APPS
12:02
not local_apps
12:03
<_UsUrPeR_>
my mistake, I actually have it as "LOCAL_APPS = Y" entered in lts.conf
12:03
per following the ltsp twiki
12:04
but I am trying to run xterm as a test as follows: "ltsp-localapps /usr/bin/xterm" in a terminal window on the client
12:04
<johnny>
and ltsp-localappsd is running on the client ?
12:04
<_UsUrPeR_>
no response, and switching to SCREEN_02 and running ps -wx shows no activity
12:05
<johnny>
or does it even try to run?
12:05
<_UsUrPeR_>
correct. here's the line in ps -wx: "1958 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/ltsp-localappssd"
12:06
<johnny>
too many s ?
12:06
weird
12:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
yeah
12:06
no, I mis-typed that
12:06
<johnny>
i've yet to try it
12:06
am doing it soon
12:06
<_UsUrPeR_>
hmm. ok, well at least it does appear that it should be working
12:07
<johnny>
maybe strace it?
12:07
install strace in the client and see what happens
12:07
not that i can tell you what it should like.. since as i mentioned, i have yet to try it..
12:07
should look like8
12:07

15:32
<alkisg>
Lns, you think I should continue with "how to do trunking" ?
15:33
<Lns>
alkisg: trunking?
15:33
<alkisg>
Yeah, say, if you have 3 NICs on the server, you may get 200% more bandwidth
15:33
But connecting all the NICs to the same switch
15:33
<Lns>
alkisg: if you have the technical know-how to do a writeup, go for it!
15:34
Although you might want to talk to the ones who handle ltsp-cluster, I don't know if any trunking concepts step on their project
15:34
<alkisg>
Lns, ok, tommorow I do benchmarks, and sometime later I'll write it (and tell you to check it)! Thanks!
15:34
Lns, it's just settings, no new software involved
15:34
<Lns>
alkisg: thank you, for the wiki page. Keep up the good work. I'm linking the IP entry on the main page.
15:34

15:35
<Lns>

15:35

I say go for writing that up
15:35

Nubae, ok, will do. I'm just worried about my English, but if Lns says it's acceptable, I'll go for it! :)
15:36

15:37* ogra wonders if alkisg planned to do spoken howtos

15:38

Heh... That's how I got the proficiency in english, by watching "Friends"... :P

change the .desktop ?

15:46
<ogra>
ah, alkisg has it
15:47
<Gadi>
hmm
15:47
getting warmer
15:47
there must be another defaults.list overriding this one
15:47

use based i bet
15:47
in ~/.local or ~/.config
15:48
.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
15:48
<Gadi>
very strange
15:48

I think I saw openoffice declarations by extension somewhere, like .odt => open with something, looking....
15:48
<Gadi>
its not any of them
15:48
<ogra>
and .local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
15:48
<alkisg>
(and other apps there)
15:48
<Gadi>
f-spot is currently default for .psd
15:49
<ogra>
fun
15:49
<Gadi>
but all defaults.list files have gimp as default
15:49
which I prefer
15:49
eh, I'll just uninstall f-spot
15:49
easier
15:49
<ogra>
and .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list doesnt have it either ?
15:49
<Gadi>
just thought Id be clever
15:49
<ogra>
or .local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
15:49
<Gadi>
nope
15:49

just dont use .psd

.xcf is the future anyway

its the policy

those YT videos help and I went along with one of them, but I think I just need to do some test packages on my own to get a real grip on it

wohoo! Looks like we've nailed a major SDL in LTSP bug.
17:25
If it all comes together, a TON of SDL apps should now be usable in LTSP.

<Lns>
lol
17:41
sorry...SDL bug
17:41
<warren>
what was the bug in?
17:41
<Lns>
warren: tuxpaint, tuxtype, tuxmath, circuslinux, defendguin, others most likely
17:42
<warren>
the bug was in each application or a central library?
17:42
what did the bug do?
17:42
<Lns>
warren: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tuxpaint/+bug/269082
17:42
warren: Very high CPU usage, unclean exit
17:42
on LTSP terminals
17:43
basically made them unusable in LTSP environments (at least in ubuntu ltsp, not sure about fedora ?)
17:43
Definitely has to do w/SDL sound
17:44
using --nosound in any of these apps will cause them to behave
17:45
or their respective sound disabling switch
17:45
<warren>
does SDL native pulseaudio exist yet?
17:46* Lns shrugs

18:44
(i guess he only wanted to show off though :P, but he said he wants to meet up with David Johnston)
18:46
Lns, i think the bug with SDL is that it hardcoded tries to attach to /dev/snd/blah instead of properly using alsa lib ... thats as evil as the old flash was using libesd.0 directly hardcoded
18:48
<warren>
ogra: ok, then he doesn't need a ride?

18:48
<Gadi> ah, ok

<stgraber>
ogra: btw, I'll really need to speak with our KDE people at UDS, these guys really didn't have LTSP in minde when coding KDE4 ...
18:49
<Lns>
ogra: I agree - I noticed a couple of console msgs regarding "cannot connect to /dev/snd or /dev/sound/xyz" when running them
18:49
<ogra>
stgraber, well, gonome 2.0 didnt have multiuser in mind either when they started
18:50
<stgraber>
ogra: we now have a devel assigned (part-time) on fixing everything and writing patch (basically doing the same things you did for gnome)
18:50
<ogra>
the first fixes i see for multiuser in gnome are all very young compared to how old gnome 2 actually is
18:51
we'll have a lot KDE guys in mountainview
18:51
at least it looks like that looking at the atendees wikipage
18:52
<stgraber>
cool, I'll nag them until I get something that works (out of the box as gnome does :))
18:52
<Lns>
ogra: thx for the comment on that sdl bug report, i think that's going to help the sdl guys really understand how to go forward
18:53
<stgraber>
I'll also need to discuss with mvo how to fix the compiz launcher script for LTSP, we discussed it a bit on IRC but couldn't find a way to have the exact same behaviour as you would on a standard install
18:53
<ogra>
stgraber, well, gnome works out of the box as a matter of luck until we fix dbus
18:53kwak has quit IRC
18:53
<ogra>
as soon as the applets all use dbus instead of bonobo, we're screwed
18:54
so thats something to solve soon
18:54
<stgraber>
hmm, why ? what's broken with dbus (other than with localapps)
18:54
<ogra>
the session bus doesnt connect to the right systm bus
18:54
<stgraber>
oh
18:55
<ogra>
it should actually be forwarded over TCP and attach to the client's system bus
18:55
instead of using the servers
18:55
<stgraber>
right
18:55
<ogra>
but dbus has no TCP transport
18:55
<stgraber>
but what kind of problem do you get (except than getting information about the server and not about the client) ?
18:55
<ogra>
authentication
18:56
<johnny>
is there a way to download the packages?
18:56
err for the upgrade
18:56
before actually upgrading..
18:56
<ogra>
since we have consolekit you get wrong auth credentials
18:56
johnny, apt-get has a switch
18:57
err
18:57
s/consolekit/policykit/
18:57
the more apps will use plokit, the more you will notice breakage
18:57
*pol
18:57makghosh_ has joined #ltsp

<stgraber>
ogra: ah, right I noticed some policykit things that weren't quite right :)
18:58
<johnny>
ogra, i mean for update-manager
18:58
<ogra>
the prob is that debus uses a unix domain socket by default
18:58
i know there is an X transport, we could probably use it
18:59
in case i have a spare session slot in mountainview we should sit down and take a look at that
18:59
<johnny>
it looks like dbus can do tcp??
18:59
<ogra>
since when ?
18:59
and how would that be secured ?
18:59
i would prefer an authenticated X transport rather
19:00
<johnny>
This feature is not well documented, so there is the configuration ligne to add in your /etc/dbus-1/system.conf file :
19:00
<listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=12434</listen>
19:00
secured.. it doesn't say anything about that :)
19:00
<ogra>
yeah
19:00
<johnny>
prolly need to tunnel it over ssh..
19:00
<ogra>
i bet you can fully sniff it
19:00
<johnny>
yeah.. you could if you didn't tunnel it..
19:00
or we could use stunnel..
19:00
<ogra>
nah
19:00
add functionallity to dbus to use ssh sockets ;)
19:00
<stgraber>
johnny: that still means any user on the server can sniff and inject into other users dbus
19:01
<johnny>
over ssh?
19:01
<ogra>
well, you have an open endpoint
19:01
<johnny>
oh.. it's still available system wide..
19:01
<ogra>
right
19:01
<johnny>
it's not auth per user :)
19:01
<ogra>
and we dont care about the system bus
19:01
we care about the session one
19:02
dbus-launch prolly needs a patch
19:02* Lns waves goodnight to all
19:02
<stgraber>
ogra: will we have a dbus guy at UDS ?

how can it just download packages?
19:02
<ogra>
i dont think u-m can
19:03
<johnny>
lame
19:03
ok.. whatever.. the time is coming where i can start it anyways
19:03
<ogra>
whats the prob with using apt-get to pre-download ?
19:04
apt-get -d upgrade
19:04
<johnny>
will it choose the right packages?
19:04
i mean for the uhmm.. dist-upgrade ..
19:04
<ogra>
that will populate /var/cache/apt/archives
19:04
<johnny>
which i thought you shouldn't use apt-get for..
19:04
<ogra>
well, for a pre download that should be fine
19:04
run u-m afterwards
19:06
<johnny>
ok. thanks ogra..
19:07
i just didn't wanna do the wrong thing :)
19:07
<ogra>
well, no promises its the right thing :)
19:07
<johnny>
now i can do this download.. and come back when we are closed and just start the actual upgrade
19:07
give me an extra half hour of sleep hopefully
19:07
<ogra>
it might still pull one or the other package
19:07
but -d will get you the majorty in advance

19:13
<nubae>
what are the licensing issues with squeak?
19:14
<ogra>
nubae, apple fonts iirc
19:14
<nubae>
u might as well not go to sleep now
19:14
ah right, that was it
19:15
<ogra>
parts of the code are owned by apple and can only be distributed with apple fonts ... which are free for use but not allowed to be modified
19:15
but read the license, i might not remember that correctly
19:15
its some year ago that i read it
19:15
<nubae>
weird that it got into sugar
19:16
it being totally free and all
19:16
<ogra>
probably the license was changed
19:16
or only parts where the license doesnt apply did go in
19:22
anyway ... bed ...

all of them can't or just some like yesterday?

A customer wants me to update their x terminal server network; they say they have tried "Thin Station", "CULT Thin Client" and "DIET-PC".
22:18
Is there an obvious reason why they wouldn't have considered LTSP?
22:19
I mean, I mostly work in the diskless netbooting desktop space, and I've heard of LTSP but not really of these others...
22:20CaScAdE^1arAway has quit IRC

<loather-work>
i've heard of thinstation, but not the other two
22:21
<Ryan52>
woah. twb is everywhere! ;)
22:22
<twb>
loather-work: they do basically the same thing as LTSP, right?
22:22
I don't want to say "why not LTSP?" and look like an idiot to the customer because LTSP solves a different problem.
22:22
<loather-work>
thinstation is pretty much the same problem solved differently
22:23
<twb>
Cool.
22:23
So they have a single in-house application, which does all the authenticaction -- that is, at the X level everyone is essentially a "guest" user.
22:24
This app needs to be able to make noises on the X term's speakers, and access USB... stuff (probably mass storage devices) plugged into the X term's USB sockets.
22:24
Can LTSP cope with that?
22:24
My naïve guess would be NAS for the former.
22:25
<kwak>
my ltsp lab is dead.
22:26
it seems that LTSP gets harder and harder to configure. when i first used ltsp under fedora, it was very easy.
22:26
<Ryan52>
kwak: was it ever working past the boot? or are you back to the no dhcp problem?
22:27
kwak: and, no, it's not getting harder. it takes me about 5 minutes to do the actual setup, then I just have to wait for the chroot to build. works perfectly for me.
22:27
<cyberorg>
kwak, not really, its just few clicks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCDfnImh67E
22:28

pfft. ya, if you're using kiwi. ;))
22:29
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, i am sure it is as easy on ubuntu too :)
22:30
<Ryan52>
ubuntu/debian/fedora/gentoo/rest of ltsp planet just doesn't have the gui.
22:31
<kwak>
it's not a DHCP issue anymore after ltsp-build-client
22:31
<Ryan52>
cyberorg: oh, you cut the song off right in the middle :(
22:31
<kwak>
the last line is setting up LTSP client
22:31
<Ryan52>
what's the problem?
22:32
<kwak>
and Disconnecting: que: disconnect, sock, done
22:32
39.341321 ubd0: Receive control failed (result -32)
22:33
this are the other errors
22:33
<cyberorg>
Ryan52, set up didnt take long enough :(
22:33

twb: the local devices thing is a little wierd. "aptitude show ltspfs". sound works. you can set it up to automatically log in as a user.
22:34
<kwak>
Error: loctl/1.1a Failed Bad File descriptor
22:34
This is the error after Negotitation: ..size = ....
22:34
<Ryan52>
kwak: meep. which part is saying that?
22:34
<kwak>
all machines has this same error
22:35
<twb>
Ryan52: the other thing is, they actually have writable flash drives in the xterms.
22:35
Ryan52: so rather than pure netbooting, they seem to want to boot the below-X layers of the OS off that.
22:36
<Ryan52>
kwak: which point in the boot process says that?
22:37
<kwak>
few lines after loading pxelinux.cfg
22:37
<Ryan52>
twb: 2 questions: a) why would they want that? b) so how does it get X and all of the other required pieces then?
22:37
<twb>
Ryan52: they basically are suggesting a two-stage boot
22:38* Ryan52 would think that would just make maintaining it more difficult. x number of places to upgrade rather than 1.
22:38
<kwak>
im testing of 6 clients which has all the same error
22:38
<twb>
Ryan52: the first stage pxe boots and, if out of date, downloads the current OS onto the flash drive
22:38
<kwak>
now, not dhcp anymore
22:38
<twb>
Ryan52: then the second stage is just booting the flash drive
22:38
Ryan52: now, *I* would say "let's just boot off network unless performance becomes an issue"
22:41
<Ryan52>
twb: that shouldn't be a problem, as long as you already have the "pxe update and boot" stuff. you'd just need all of the ltsp client chroot (x and all) to fit on the disk..
