randomuser, delete it..
00:16
but do you really have x86_64 clients?
00:16
most people don't, that is why it defaults to i386

i see some mounts from /var/tmp/imgcreate-(foo) ; are these for ltsp?
00:34
<johnny>
probably.. i never loooked that closely..
00:34
and i don't know how fedora handles it on that side
00:34
whether it even uses nbd or not
00:35
<randomuser>
the k12linux wiki says to make sure the chroot isn't mounted before I erase it, but it doesnt describe how it mounts.
00:38
i can tell you that ltsp-vmclient fails on loadinf from tftp...

nbtstatz: do you mean something like this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/AddingModules
05:57
<nbtstatz>
alkisg thanks for help, but my kernel dont have r6040 module to load! :(
05:57
<alkisg>
So it doesn't work in your OS in general? It isn't an LTSP problem?
05:57
Then I'd suggest asking in your distro channel, not in LTSP...
05:58
<nbtstatz>
alkisg thanks again, im asking in ubuntu channel too

good morning everyone !
07:50
<Dantix>
morning! I running ltsp4.2 and the clients runs rdesktop to show a windows application. Now I nned to redirect the rs232 port of client to be used by rdp session, what should be the advised configuraction.
07:53
<_UsUrPeR_>
morning all.
07:53
could somebody give me the nomenclature for LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS? I have the following line in lts.conf: LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS = /home/common
07:53
it doesn't seem to be mountint it though
07:53
err mounting
08:06bobby_C has joined #ltsp
08:09
<Dantix>
I'll refrase my question. Is it possible to use on a lptsp client the client's local serial port?
08:18
<cliebow>
Dantix, in 4.2 we could enable a serial mouse..
08:18
not sure about 5
08:22
<Dantix>
cliebow: in my case I need to use the serial port to connect a scale/balance
08:23
that uses rs232 to inform the weigths it measures.
08:34
<cliebow>
you'll have to get one of the gurus here to help..I am sure it is doable.
08:37
<Dantix>
anyway thanks

sbalneav, i thought it would be interesting to see a mostly distro agnostic way to get packages installed in chroots, so i bugged the packagekit creator to take a look at it, he's got a branch going already
09:42
hopefully in the next round of distro releases we can create a .desktop file or shell script that just launches packagekit's gui , but in the chroot
09:51
<sbalneav>
Cool.
09:52
Another piece of good news: sayabon's back in debian unstable.

cyberorg: thanks, I'll check that
10:10
cyberorg: I've read about localapps, seems to me the way to run application on client. Did not found a clue of how to use it to get what I'm need.
10:11
<cyberorg>
install the software that requres serial port as localapp and run using ltsp-localapps yoursoftware
10:12
<Dantix>
my software is rdesktop, do you think this approach will work as well?
10:13
<vbundi>
yes
10:13
if rdesktop supports serial port forwarding, (which I believe it does) you'll get your local serial port on the windows machine
10:14
from 'man rdesktop' .... -r comport:<comport>=<device>,...
10:14
<Dantix>
fine!! I'm going to try right now..thanks
10:14
<vbundi>
Dantix: so you can do something like ltsp-localapps rdesktop -r comport:com1=/dev/ttys0

vbundi: thank you very much..

alkisg: Can you tell me if you performed a safe-upgrade or a full-upgrade in your lucid? Previously I had problems running at ltsp at karmic with only safe-upgrade... I had to do a full-upgrade...
11:16
Maybe I shoul adjust the tutorials with my progress here...
11:16
<alkisg>
ludug3r0: I never upgrade, I always clean-install
11:16
<ludug3r0>
Ok... Thank you.
11:17
Should I upgrade just the ltsp package from the ppa? I'm gettng from stgraber as the tutorial I previously visited used his ppa...
11:18Dantix has left #ltsp
11:19
<alkisg>
After upgrading from karmic to lucid (or any other distro upgrade), building a new chroot is recommented
11:20
<ludug3r0>
I installed the lucid beta from scratch today.
11:20
<alkisg>
Erm, then what do you mean with safe-upgrade / full-upgrade?
11:21
<ludug3r0>
there are packages to update...
11:21
Some probably are services.. I had problems with update with karmic...
11:22
A fresh karmic install with the ltsp from stgraber did not work...
11:22
With aptitude safe-upgrade it didn't work also...
11:22
But with full-upgrade it was ok...
11:27
Well... I'm skipping everything related to updates for now...
11:27randomuser has quit IRC
11:30
<alkisg>
Ah, I've been dist-upgrading for many months now, it mostly worked fine except for 1-2 cases where the lucid repositories had problems
11:30
(sudo apt-get dist-upgrade)
11:30
<ludug3r0>
Ok.. dist-upgrade is equivalent to full-upgrade with aptitude
11:30
I will upgrade now.

<ralth>
Hello. Any suggestions on troubleshooting an "Error: failed to connect to NBD server" error on ubuntu lucid?
14:35
<alkisg>
ralth: is the nbd server actually running? sudo netstat -nap | grep 9572
14:37
<ralth>
alkisg: yes, it appears to be: "tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9572 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1129/inetd "
14:37
<vmlintu>
ralth: my favourite tool is wireshark / tshark and just dumping the network traffic
14:37
<alkisg>
Do you have another dhcp server running on your network? Can you upload your dhcpd.conf?
14:38
<vmlintu>
ralth: with it you see if there's actual traffic that gets blocked or if there are no packets at all
14:39
<ralth>
Here's dhcpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/TfnFz9Yg
14:39
no other dhcp server
14:42
<alkisg>
Uh sorry the port was 2000 not 9572
14:42
Can you mount the nbd image manually? nbd-client server-ip 2000 /dev/nbd0
14:42
(at the busybox prompt)
14:43
<ralth>
listening on 2000 as well
14:43
<alkisg>
(if you're not getting a busybox prompt, you can put break=premount in pxelinux.cfg/default)
14:43
<vmlintu>
ralth: do you see the client's dhcp request in daemon.log?
14:47
<ralth>
trying to mount manually gives an error as well: "Negotiation: Error: server closed connection"
14:49
From daemon.log: "nbd_server[1756]: Could not open exported file /opt/ltsp/images/amd64.img: No such file or directory"
14:50
<alkisg>
Did you run ltsp-build-client?
14:50
<ralth>
Why would it be trying to load the amd64 image?
14:50
I did, but for i386
14:50
<alkisg>
Edit your /etc/inetd.conf
14:50
and run sudo service openbsd-inetd restart

alkisg: Should I add the ppa even using lucid?
15:55
I'm having really strange behavior here... :\
15:55
<alkisg>
No need for it (yet)
15:55
What behavior?
15:56
<ludug3r0>
I removed quiet splash in the kernel...
15:56
To see what was happening here...
15:56
There are times the shell opens and others it does not...
15:56
<alkisg>
Any error messages?
15:57
<ludug3r0>
There are times I get "Staring LTSP [OK]"
15:57
No...
15:57
There are times I get "Starting LTSP" with no [OK].. It just hangs...
15:57
<alkisg>
Try also replacing "splash" with "nomodeset", it helps sometimes (plymouth still sucks :-/)
15:58
<ludug3r0>
I removed splash entirely...
15:58
<alkisg>
Yes, I meant where to put it
15:58
<ludug3r0>
Ahh.. do you want-me to put it now?
15:58
<alkisg>
The nomodeset, not the splash
15:58
<ludug3r0>
Ahhh... And there is times the "Starting LTSP" do not apear too...
15:58
<alkisg>
OK let me rephrase that, "insert the following kernel parameter: nomodeset"
15:59
<ludug3r0>
Ok.
15:59
Humm...
15:59
I setted now...
16:00
While i was setting... There are a lot of application timeouts...
16:00
restarting
16:00
<alkisg>
Application timeouts?! Where?
16:00
<ludug3r0>
Setting up the LSTP [OK]...
16:00
Waiting some more.
16:00
Just a minut..
16:00
I think the timeouts will come soon...
16:00
I had a lot in these last days...
16:01
Let me desccribe what I see in the screen now...
16:01
it configures the network.... I can ping the machine from here...
16:02
Ok.. I can't ping tis time...
16:02
There was a kernel error...
16:02
(rtl8180): cannot register devce
16:02
I wasn't having this problem before...
16:02
Let me try restart again.
16:03
Ok.. Waiting for the same problem to appear...
16:04
Well... Until now is ok... Let me keep explaining the boot...
16:05
Humm.... I can't ping the machine anymore... :\
16:05
Maybe some module problem....
16:06
Ok... I can ping it now....
16:06
It mount the root file system....
16:06
The goes to the /scripts/nfs-top
16:07
It says ndb0: unknown partition table
16:07
I think this is the problem...
16:07
Now there are a lot of timeouts...
16:09
root@ltsp:~# netstat -nap | grep 2000 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 908/inetd
16:09
<alkisg>
"unknown partition table" is not a problem, ignore that
16:09
<ludug3r0>
ok...
16:10
after this the only errors are these timeouts...
16:10
<alkisg>
What does it say exactly?
16:10
<ludug3r0>
There is a /script/nfs-bottom
16:10mgariepy has quit IRC
16:10
<ludug3r0>
No errors....
16:11
The Starting LTSP [OK]
16:11
<alkisg>
So you don't actually see the word "timeout", right?
16:11
<ludug3r0>
It hangs here...
16:11
And after 2 minutes I have something like...
16:12
[ 240.XXXXX] INFO: task rsyslogd:759 blocked for more than 120 seconds
16:12
<johnny>
does this sound like a bad network card? or bad cable?
16:12
or bad driver..
16:12
<ludug3r0>
[ 240.YYYYY] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables the message
16:13
Humm...
16:13hersonls has quit IRC
16:13
<johnny>
sounds like that to me
16:13
<alkisg>
Yeah a vbox client would probably help in testing this
16:13
<ludug3r0>
I wasn't having problem with this machine with ltsp from stgraber's ppa with karmic....
16:14
It was working perfect yesterday... The only problem was that I could log in juust six machines at a time... :\
16:14
<johnny>
the problem is proably the driver in the new kernel then
16:14
did you build a new chroot since?
16:14
<ludug3r0>
Humm..
16:14
I installed the lucid today...
16:14
<johnny>
you could try using the other chroot
16:14
<ludug3r0>
Than dist-upgraded it...
16:14
<johnny>
if you kept it
16:14
start over with a new chroot
16:14
<ludug3r0>
Then I used ltsp-build-client...
16:15
<johnny>
ah
16:15
well try the old one then :)
16:15
<ludug3r0>
It was a updated system..
16:15
But I can try to chroot and dowgrade the kernel there...
16:15
Or try if another machine boots here...
16:15
The problem is the irregular behavior..
16:15
let me try another machine...
16:17
Ok...
16:17
The other has setting up the ltsp client [ok]
16:17
than starting ltsp client [ok]
16:18
ctrl + f1 gives me a login shell...
16:18
ctrl + f2 should give me a shell.. I put SCREEN_02 = shell at the lts.conf
16:19
<alkisg>
Did you also put SCREEN_07=ldm?
16:19
<ludug3r0>
Yeah...
16:19
I tryed first without it..
16:19
Then putted it...
16:19
<alkisg>
So, are you able to login?
16:19
(in ldm)
16:19
<ludug3r0>
No...
16:20
I put any name (root, a valid user) then it hangs and theres no password line...
16:20
<alkisg>
Error messages? in auth.log on the server, or in ldm.log on the client?
16:20
Hmmm no password line?!
16:20
<ludug3r0>
I cant access ldm.log in the client...
16:21
The shell was suposed to open at SCREEN_02 but theres nothing there.
16:21
Let me see auth.log
16:21bobby_C has quit IRC
16:21
<alkisg>
Well if you didn't give a password there would be nothing there
16:22
<ludug3r0>
There was no request for a password. ;)
16:22
I couldn't give one.. :\
16:22
It seens to be a kernel problem...
16:23
Can you tell me the kernel you are running in your ltsp?
16:23
<alkisg>
linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic-pae
16:23
<ludug3r0>
Let me remove the ldm...
16:23
And remove the fatclient line...
16:24
<alkisg>
Remove ldm? How are you going to logon then?
16:24Lns has joined #ltsp

16:24
<ludug3r0>
Yeah...
16:25
If I can get the shell up, I can try to use thinclients...
16:26
Ok... Machine #1 : same behavior... hungs when setting ltsp... even when it stats that it was ok...
16:26
Machine #2 I got a shell....
16:26
<alkisg>
Are you sure that the image was built OK?
16:26
Maybe you have a broken chroot... e.g. maybe the lucid repositories were inconsistent when you installed, and you're missing some packags
16:27
<ludug3r0>
Hummm...
16:27
Maybe...
16:27
I will try to chroot and see this now...
16:27
<alkisg>
Do keep the logs of ltsp-build-client (enable unlimited scrollback in the terminal and copy/paste them in a log file...)
16:29
<ludug3r0>
Hummm.
16:29
I was looking the entire process... There was noting that unusual there...
16:29
But I don't have this log to confirm...
16:29
Let me see...
16:31
Ok.. I don't have the log...
16:31
Just the sumarixed on at /var/log.. But it do not seens worthy
16:32
Ok....
16:32
I updated it...
16:32
Or at leat tryed...
16:32
There was not much to do there... Only remove two packages.
16:33
I'm doing a aptitude reinstall ltsp-client ltsp-client-core ltspfsd ltspfsd-core

Ok.. I'm doing a dist-upgrade with apt-get now...

Strangely there was some packeges not detected by aptitude

samba related..

And a libwbclient... I find this one to be familiar..

Maybe this upgrade solve the problem.
