03:28
is there a description like this for ltsp5
03:32
<alkisg>
!docs

alkisg: "docs" :: For the most current documentation, see https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ltsp/index.php?title=Ltsp_LtspDocumentationUpstream
03:32
<alkisg>
I think the theory of operation is included there.
03:32
It's not so analytical because it's distro dependend
03:33
<dobber>
Chapter 6 :)

ok
07:31
i dont know what is going on
07:31
1 out of 10 restarts
07:32
the client boot just freezes
07:32
in random places
07:33
i've spend on this more than 15 hours !
07:34
<fly23>
does it freeze at LDM ?
07:34
i've got the same error sometimes
07:35
it stops at the login-managers backround - so no input-box or shutdown-button
07:35
<dobber>
before ldm
07:36
so, init is run ok, than it starts ltsp-client-setup
07:36
sometimes it freezes here
07:36
sometimes it freezes in ltsp-client-core
07:39
and after 120 seconds, it prints on the screen
07:39
INFO: task rsyslogd blocked
07:39
amixer, pulseaudio, ldm
07:54Faithful has joined #ltsp
07:57
<dobber>
and i dont think it has anything to do with ltsp-client scripts
08:03
<fly23>
i still can't get my setup to work properly
08:03
it just won't allow me to login

hey guys, i cannot get my tested ltsp server working with an external dhcp3 server, anyone have any experience with that?
08:41
<dobber>
yes
08:41
<denisesball>
fantastic
08:42
<dobber>
you are having problems with dhcp config or ?
08:42
<denisesball>
ill paste, one sec
08:43
http://pastebin.org/283280
08:43
shoot, 1 sec sorry
08:43
that is wrong
08:43
<dobber>
you have to have next-server
08:43
next-server IP_OF_TFTPD;
08:44
<denisesball>
this actually works how it is now, how is that happening?
08:45
http://pastebin.org/283288
08:45
ok that is the actual stanze
08:45
works fine for the old servers running old ltsp and debian 4. i inserted a new ubuntu 10.04 server and want this term to boot off of it
08:46
i'm not sure what to change the "filename" lines too for the new server since they are much different on the new ltsp
08:47
<dobber>
my config is exactly as yours
08:47
<denisesball>
ive tried a few different things i thought would work (comparing to the stock ubuntu local dhcpd.conf file) and didnt have any luck
08:47
<dobber>
only i have a next-server option
08:47
<denisesball>
well this config does work right now
08:47
its just not working for the new server
08:47
are you "filename" lines the same?
08:48
<dobber>
so, what is the error message ?
08:48
<denisesball>
because on the ubuntu ltsp those are very different, im pretty sure i need to change them. i'll try the next-server option too if you like but i still think that needs to change
08:48
<dobber>
http://pastebin.com/AN5WmRJc
08:48
this is mine
08:49
i'm with the new ubuntu
08:49
<denisesball>
ok i did try thos lines. so maybe all i need is the next-server
08:49
let me try
08:51
<dobber>
The next-server statement is used to specify the host address of the server from which the initial boot file (specified in the filename
08:51
statement) is to be loaded. Server-name should be a numeric IP address or a domain name. If no next-server parameter applies to a given
08:51
client, the DHCP server's IP address is used.
08:52
<denisesball>
yeah i just dont have that for the older servers so not sure how those are working
08:52
ok i got a tftp open timeout this time with this config:
08:52
http://pastebin.com/nFD8r0VK
08:53
<dobber>
thats exactly like mine
08:53
<denisesball>
yeah, tftp open timeout pxe-e32
08:53
i dont need dhcp running on the actual ltsp server right?
08:54
<dobber>
yes you can stop it
08:54alkisg has joined #ltsp
08:54
<denisesball>
it is stopped, i was just curious
08:54
<dobber>
so next step is to fix your tftpd server :)
08:54
<denisesball>
what could i be missing then? the server worked perfectly before as its own dhcp server
08:54
root 959 1 0 May25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address 0.0.0.0:69 --secure /var/lib/tftpboot
08:54
i see it running
08:55
<dobber>
is this on 10.170.5.245;
08:55
<denisesball>
yeah
08:55
<dobber>
so, go to /var/lib/tftpd/ltsp/i385
08:55
and open pxelinux.cfg/default
08:56
<denisesball>
ok, its open
08:57
did you want to see it?
08:57
<dobber>
http://pastebin.com/pSPKsVve
08:57
this is mine
08:57
<denisesball>
only thing different is the nbdport
08:57
mine is 2001
08:58
thats all stock though, i havent touched it
08:58
<dobber>
so what was the client error again ?
08:58
<denisesball>
and 2000 and 2001 are both open ports on my server
08:58
pxe-e32: tftp open timeout

Morning all
08:59
<alkisg>
Hi Scotty
08:59
<dobber>
it's 17:00 here :)
08:59
<sbalneav>
alkisg: hey ho, got a sec?
08:59
<alkisg>
Sure
09:00
dobber: hey, we're on the same timezone, where are you?
09:00
<dobber>
bulgaria
09:00
<alkisg>
Ah, right below ya :)
09:00
<dobber>
greece ?
09:00
<alkisg>
Yup
09:00
<sbalneav>
alkisg: So, I don't know if you saw, but I updated xexit.
09:00
<dobber>
nice to meet ya
09:00
dont block the borders this summer please
09:01
<sbalneav>
it now fully detects a disconnect of a thin client.
09:01
<dobber>
we need some beaches :)
09:01
<sbalneav>
I actually yanked the powercord on a loggen in thin client, and all processes terminated within 15 seconds.
09:01
<dobber>
denisesball do you have a firewall ?
09:02
<alkisg>
sbalneav: good! We 'd appreciate a package of it that (at least) replaces gnome-watch dog, would you like testing?
09:02
<sbalneav>
give it a test if you get a chance, it's in my PPA
09:02
<alkisg>
Sure
09:02
dobber: heh, nah, we need the tourism in this economy :)
09:02
<denisesball>
dobber: no, everything should be open. this terminal boots off the other term servers no problem
09:03
<alkisg>
denisesball: ls -lha /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 <= is that file there?
09:03
<denisesball>
yep, remember its the same as yours just a different port?
09:04
<dobber>
alkisg i hear it's pretty grim right now ?
09:04
<alkisg>
Yeah, it doesn't look good
09:04
denisesball: the port (2000 and 2001) is for nbd, not for tftp
09:04
<dobber>
dont let those anarchist take over the country :)
09:04
<denisesball>
ok, either way both are open
09:05denisesball has left #ltsp
09:06denisesball has joined #ltsp
09:06
<dobber>
denisesball
09:06
<denisesball>
sorry, fat fingered. did i miss anything?
09:07
<dobber>
what is the network card of your client
09:07
<alkisg>
denisesball: the tftp port is 69. Can you install tftp-hpa (=the tftp client) on a pc, and try to get a file from the ltsp/tftp server?
09:08
<dobber>
there seems to be a report about broken RTL 8139 chipset cards
09:08
<denisesball>
i know this term works cuz it worked with the server as the dhcp server, let me try that
09:10
<dobber>
alkisg sbalneav do you know a good reason why the thin client freezes while booting up
09:10
before ldm
09:10
1 out of 5 reboots
09:11
INFO: task rsyslogd:443 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
09:11
there seems to be a bug report
09:12
it says that this message is a generic one, and the problem is not in the kernel
09:12
but i can't find out what program is causing it
09:12
<alkisg>
Did you try without quiet/splash?
09:12
<dobber>
yeah, i'm echoing almost every line in ltsp-client-setup and ltsp-client-core
09:13
but it freezes in different places
09:13
<alkisg>
That in Lucid?
09:13
<dobber>
most comonly in start_sound
09:13
yes
09:13
<alkisg>
Er, try with SOUND=False then to see if that makes a difference
09:13
<denisesball>
dobber: i think the existing servers are working because they are using nfs to boot. they dont have tftp running and are sharing /opt/ltsp in their /etc/exports
09:14
<dobber>
i'll try
09:14
<denisesball>
so that explains how they are working and why they didnt have next-server specified
09:15
<dobber>
denisesball yeah but what is the boot manager then ?
09:15
<denisesball>
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {
09:15
filename "/pxe/eb-5.0.9-3c905b-tpo100.lzpxe";
09:15
} else if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "Etherboot" {
09:15
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1";
09:15
thats what they boot, certainly not pxelinux
09:16
<fly23>
can somebody tell me how to change settings reported by ldminfod ?
09:17
especially the session: settings
09:17
<alkisg>
gedit `which ldminfod`
09:18
denisesball: "they dont have tftp running" ==> you can't boot from network without tftp
09:19
<fly23>
alkisg: thx!
09:19
<alkisg>
AFTER tftp you can use either nfs or nbd, but tftp is required.
09:20
<denisesball>
alkisg: not sure then. none of the existing servers have a tftp server running, neither does the dhcp server
09:21
<alkisg>
denisesball: you can see if tftp is running by doing: sudo netstat -nap | grep :69
09:21
It might NOT be in the processes list if it runs from inetd
09:22
<denisesball>
ah ok, it is running on the dhcp server out of inetd
09:22Barbosa has quit IRC
09:23
<dobber>
denisesball that's why you didn't need next-server option before :)
09:23
<denisesball>
yep, makes sense. now why isnt the next-option working for the new one? :P
09:23
<dobber>
it's working
09:23
but you have a tftpd problem now
09:23
not dhcp
09:24
<alkisg>
It might be a dhcp problem, if those settings never reach the client (wrong syntax or mac or something)
09:24
But it's easier to verify tftp first, by installing a tftp client.
09:24
<denisesball>
yep. getting there
09:25
but if tftp is working from this client to an old server. and if tftp worked on the new server before i shut off dhcp and its on the same network. i dont see how it could be a tftp problem
09:26
<alkisg>
Ah, you tried the new server only and it was working? Then it sounds more of a dhcp problem.
09:26
<denisesball>
yeah it was without the introduction of the separate dhcp server
09:26
http://pastebin.com/8Jw4AFQt
09:26
that is my current config as of right now
09:27
10.170.5.245 is the new server IP
09:27
<alkisg>
But now the dhcp server is not the ltsp server, right?
09:27
So where's that file from? The dhcp server or the ltsp server?
09:27
<denisesball>
i get the client ip/mask/dhcp/and gateway when booting pxe so its working. just failking on tftp
09:27
alkisg: where is what file from?
09:28
<alkisg>
The one in the pastebin
09:28ogra has quit IRC
09:28
<denisesball>
no the dhcp is always separate on the prod network. i was in testing before. that stanza is excertped from my dhcp server
09:28
separate from all the term server
09:28
s
09:28ogra has joined #ltsp
09:28
<denisesball>
do i need to put 10.170.5.245: before the files maybe?
09:29
<alkisg>
denisesball: there are some ways to actually see what the client receives
09:29
One is if you can boot it with some distro (live cd or something),
09:29
another is if you can boot it with gpxe (floppy, cd, stick...)
09:29
Is it possible to do one of those?
09:30
<denisesball>
i am at the call center not the noc, let me check
09:30
<alkisg>
E.g. gpxe shows this screen with all the information it got: http://wiki.jpoetry.net/_media/files:gpxe-003.png
09:31
<denisesball>
damn, no i would have to go all the way back
09:31
let me try one thing
09:32
<alkisg>
You can also increase verbosity in dhcpd.conf, but I don't use dhcp3-server, so I'm not sure of the details there.
09:33
<denisesball>
let me try the tftp client first i suppose before i go all the way back to the shop
09:34
i'll have to use my laptop here and disconnect
09:34
be back in a few

<dobber>
alkisg the gPXE thing looks awesome
09:37
thanks for the tip
09:37
<alkisg>
Yeah it's the best thing for network booting, I've even booted over http with it (without using tftp)
09:38
<denisesball>
looks like i dont have to disconnect, just using eth0 for that network only
09:38
<dobber>
i'm gonna try it today
09:40
<denisesball>
ok:
09:40
http://pastebin.com/WV2qJeAi
09:40
so maybe it is a tftp problem?
09:40
did i do that right? havent used tftp from cli in ages
09:42
<dobber>
no
09:42
tftp is an ftp client
09:42
and does not speak to tftpd
09:42
<denisesball>
are you sure?
09:42
<dobber>
oh sorry
09:42
my bad
09:42
<alkisg>
denisesball: I think so, I'm specifying the server in the command line though, tftp server
09:43
<denisesball>
alkisg: whats your command? ill try it
09:43
<alkisg>
tftp server
09:43
get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
09:43
quit
09:43
<denisesball>
oh lol
09:43
<alkisg>
It shouldn't make any difference. Is your tftp server running on that PC? sudo netstat -nap|grep :69
09:44
And, is that file actually there? ls -lha /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
09:44
If both of those are true, check for any firewalls.
09:45
<denisesball>
http://pastebin.com/2LMZNMfe
09:45
all looks good
09:45
there cant be a firewall cuz it boots off the dhcp/other server no problem on the same subnet
09:46
is there a way to verify the port is open from point to point? like with telnet or nmap or something?
09:46
<alkisg>
A firewall on the ltsp server?
09:46
<denisesball>
alkisg: no definitely not, unless it comes with the ubuntu ltsp install
09:46
<alkisg>
Did you use the alternate cd? Then no, I don't think so.
09:46
(or did you use the server cd?)
09:47
<denisesball>
i think the server
09:47
<alkisg>
I don't know about the server cd, it might have a firewall preinstalled. Don't know.
09:47
<denisesball>
i dont see anything
09:47
<alkisg>
sudo status ufw
09:47
sudo stop ufw, etc etc
09:48
<denisesball>
jjarzynka@termserver2:/var/log$ sudo status ufw
09:48
ufw start/running
09:48
ruh roh
09:50
<alkisg>
Also verify that you can download that file by running `tftp localhost` from the ltsp server
09:50
<denisesball>
alkisg: good idea
09:50
i stopped ufw, but still timing out remotely, let me try that
09:51
jjarzynka@termserver2:/var/log$ tftp localhost
09:51
tftp> get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
09:51
tftp: pxelinux.0: Permission denied
09:51
wtf
09:52
maybe i have to restart tftpd after stopping ufw
09:54
still permission denied. is there a config file for ltsp or something?
09:55
<dobber>
didn't you had "time out" problem ?
09:55
not "permission denied"
09:55
<denisesball>
time out was remotely
09:55
locally is permission denied
09:56
<dobber>
http://pastebin.com/M5A9Uspv
09:57
<denisesball>
ok after removing ufw and rebooting, i can now tftp locally
09:57
jjarzynka@termserver2:~$ tftp localhost
09:57
tftp> get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
09:57
Received 14928 bytes in 0.0 seconds
09:57
still getting timed out remotely though
09:58
<dobber>
does it work from dhcp server ?
09:58
<denisesball>
oh shit
10:02
got it! thanks guys

ok guys, what does it mean when i can ssh to the termserver as any user, but i ldm is saying "no response from server"
10:34
<_UsUrPeR_>
Ok, so I just upgraded a LTSP server from 9.10 to 10.04. After getting everything back in order, It appears that the server is attempting to point the clients towards an amd64 image. Here's some logs pertaining to this: http://pastebin.com/qJYhQ9MK . Why is the server point towards an amd64 image? After an ln -s, I was able to get the clients to boot just fine.
10:35
<denisesball>
_UsUrPeR_: check /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf, make sure its pointing to the right image
10:36
<alkisg>
denisesball: if you changed the server IP, you need to run ltsp-update-sshkeys and ltsp-update-image
10:36
<_UsUrPeR_>
here's a pastebin of my dhcpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/wfFkRsa5
10:36
<alkisg>
_UsUrPeR_: check /etc/inetd.conf
10:36
<denisesball>
alkisg: yep, just found that on the wiki, thanks

Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting Intel video problems?
12:34
I'd read some Ubuntu 9.04 articles about going back to a previous release of the intel driver, but not sure if that's applicable on terminals.
12:34
<alkisg>
What problems? I've seen cases where disabling compiz helps, and other cases where upgrading the kernel helps.
12:34
Or yeah, downgrading the kernel.
12:34
<johnny>
or upgrading to lucid?
12:35
<atkuepker>
we used the gconftool statement to switch to metacity, but that only extended the crash times from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours.
12:35
I have a Lucid test box here, but that causes crashes a couple times per day.
12:36
not that LUCID does, but the Intel video still crashes
12:36
installing Ubuntu's debug package for Intel drivers wouldn't help because that doesn't impact the chroot, right?
12:37
<alkisg>
You could install it to the chroot... which card is this?
12:39
<atkuepker>
I'm pretty sure it's the Intel 82915 that's onboard for this model
12:39
<alkisg>
lspci -nn
12:40
<atkuepker>
hmm. Dell says it should be an 82915 but lspci reports 82845
12:41
<alkisg>
What's the full lspci -nn line?
12:42
<atkuepker>
ah, my bad. I made a typo in the Dell specifications lookup *sigh*
12:43
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [8086:2562] (rev 01)
12:45
<alkisg>
And the lucid box crashes every time you use Xv video?
12:45
(totem etc)?
12:46
<atkuepker>
no, sometimes under regular usage with firefox or Openoffice and always within 3 hours if the screen goes into sleep mode. Terminal won't wake up.
12:46
even with compiz turned off

<alkisg>
Did you try disabling KMS? (nomodeset or i915.modeset=false in pxelinux.cfg/default)
12:48
See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/541492
12:48
...and, better ask in ubuntu-x, you'll get more knowledgable answers there than here in ltsp
12:48
<atkuepker>
I don't know much about KMS. I'll check into that.
12:50
Would having the stock Ubuntu chroot vs. one from the LTSP PPA make any difference here?
12:50
<alkisg>
Not really, it should be a kernel / driver problem, completely unrelated to ltsp
12:50
You could use a ppa for a different kernel though

E.g. this worked for my intel 855: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/experimental

just a matter of added that to sources.list and running `aptitude update && aptitude upgrade` ?

ERROR: fc13 is unsupported.
14:25
<johnny>
then you need to talk to the authors..
14:25
he doesn't hang out here much anymore
14:25
what did you type in?
14:25
if you used --dist fc13.. don't bother.. it's unnecessary
14:25Lns has joined #ltsp

and if as regular.. then you should probably file a bug and mention fedora in the title

14:56
i don't know anybody here who uses that regulary who is a developer
14:56
most people use ubuntu or debian
14:56
so.. we have no idea of the status
14:56
<LX01>
:s
14:57
<johnny>
thus why i suggested the bug report
14:57
<dobber_>
everyone and his dog now have their own linux distro
14:57denisesball has left #ltsp
14:58
<alkisg>
Where's a good place to add functionality such as "a small script that enables automatic cups printer sharing on a fat client, when CUPS_PRINTER_SHARING=True in lts.conf"? Maybe we should create an ltsp-setup.d?
14:59
<johnny>
dobber_, huh?
14:59
this distro was one of the early ltsp efforts
14:59
<dobber_>
i'm just speaking out of context, sorry for my bashing
14:59
<johnny>
it existed before the ubuntu one did
15:00
the last person to work on it, was warren
15:00
and warren left redhat
15:00
<dobber_>
didnt know ltsp had such a long history
15:00
<LX01>
:)
15:02
<johnny>
ltsp has been around for 10 years now
15:02
or is it 11 now..
15:02
<LX01>
ltsp only debian xD
15:03
<johnny>
the initial version was based off redhat
15:03
and it was a completely seperate distro altogether
15:03
nowadays.. it's built using the distro's own tools
15:03
<LX01>
redhat :O
15:04
<dobber_>
well, i found out about ltsp 3 weeks ago
15:04
the next week i had 1 fat server and 8 thin clients
15:04
<johnny>
yes:)
15:05
<dobber_>
and now i'm starting to think about making a business out of it

1ghz cpu
15:26
dunno
15:26
<Lns>
you don't work for them?
15:27
<dobber_>
no
15:27
<Lns>
oh ok =p
15:27
<dobber_>
15:27
<Lns>
dobber_: if you're thinking about making a business out of support for thin clients/ltsp, lemme know. THat's what I do, I'd like to help you out =)
15:28
<dobber_>
thank you Lns
15:28
i'm almost convinced that this is the road for me
15:30
<Lns>
=)
15:30
Very glad to hear more people willing to push for this technology
15:31
<dobber_>
i think it's awesome
15:32
it gives so much options for business
15:34
not to mention that in my country all of as have 100mbit connection to the ISP internet network
15:36
<Lns>
woah
15:37
you could throw an ltsp-cluster at the ISP level and lease computers!
15:37
that would be cooooooool

which country has 100mbit?
15:38
<tuxcrafter>
is this the channel for dhcpd3-server questions
15:38

how sorry ltsp has nothing to do with dhcpd :D
15:41
<Lns>
tuxcrafter: it does, just doesn't have much to do with windows clients ;)
15:42
oh man, I just about pooped my pants. browser.startup.homepage in firefox^Wiceweasel actually works in debian!!! oh my, will my techs be happy about that next school year :)
15:42
happy happy happy

<vagrantc>
hm?
15:44atkuepker has joined #ltsp

<Lns>
vagrantc: oh i just spent the past 3 YEARS trying to get it fixed in ubuntu. in debian it just works like it's supposed to..edit /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js and add the lockPref for browser.startup.homepage ... it works. It never did in ubuntu, 7.04 all the way to ..lucid? is it working there?
15:45
you had to do all sorts of crazy workarounds in ubuntu, and even then it hardly ever worked
15:45
<vagrantc>
oh, nice.
15:45
i could make use of that...
15:45
<Lns>
last i saw it had something to do with the ubufox add-on and all the stuff they do regarding switching homepages during launch
15:45
<dobber_>
lns /etc/thunderbird/pref/... works too
15:46
<Lns>
dobber_: cool!
15:46
<dobber_>
i dont know about you, but i dont like the new thunderbird 3
15:47
too much memory
15:47
so mailnews.database.global.indexer.enabled and mail.server.default.autosync_offline_stores goes to false
15:47
<Lns>
yeah i switched off that indexer thing as soon as it upgraded
15:47
i use imap for a reason!
15:48
i like it though, it seems more responsive than 2.x overall..the buttons are different locations which i'm kinda used to now, the tabs are kinda cool but i haven't made much use of them yet
15:50
<atkuepker>
Lns: what got fixed?
15:50
<Lns>
atkuepker: ?
15:50
<atkuepker>
that which you spent 3 years try to get fixed
15:51
<dobber_>
mandatory default homepage config option
15:52
<atkuepker>
ah, that WOULD be nice. some of my users have some difficulty with that.
15:53
<Lns>
the best workaround i had, unfortunately, was to install the ubufox add-on from 8.10 into 8.04..that put the homepage to the ubuntu google homepage and i think that was lock-able or something. Still got complaints though
15:54
<alkisg>
Lns, you can specify the home page with a user.js file, and even lock it
15:54elias_a has joined #ltsp
15:54
<alkisg>
(along with all other firefox options)
15:55
<Lns>
alkisg: i think i tried that. the browser.startup.homepage one was the only one that didn't get read/got overridden iirc
15:55
<alkisg>
Lns, I've been using that for years, it works fine
15:56
E.g. I've got http://students.sch.gr as the locked homepage for my students
15:56
<Lns>
I guess i'm special =p
15:58
<alkisg>
Nah it was tricky to get it working, it changes places on each release
15:58
But once you put it in the correct place it works fine
15:59
<Lns>
i think that's what frustrated me the most. It was like "oh, in this release i put it in /etc/xulrunner/... " then "Oh, you really put it in "/etc/firefox/pref/ ... " and "Oh, no you put it in /usr/lib/xulrunner/ ..."
