I know this is not LTSP related, but anyone familiar with preseeding? I know how to set http proxy for apt during installation, but how I make it permanent?

<branchman>
hello, how to solve this error during diskless network boot please? "nbd0:Negotiation: ..size = 4kb[newline]bs=1024, sz=4". It just freezes on this line
07:38
<alkisg>
grep nbd /etc/inetd.conf
07:38
What does this tell you?
07:41
<branchman>
3 lines, wait for pastebin few seconds pls
07:42
http://pastebin.com/WZPtsyDJ
07:43
<alkisg>
OK, now try this: ls -lha /opt/ltsp/images
07:43
(you can paste up to 3 lines here)
07:43
<branchman>
i don't have there amd64
07:44
only -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 541M 2010-08-03 12:16 i386.img
07:44
<alkisg>
OK. Now, try: grep 200 /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
07:45
(or if that doesn't work, grep -i append /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default)
07:45
<branchman>
append ro initrd=initrd.img quiet splash nbdport=2001
07:45
<alkisg>
Hmmm... and: grep pxelinux.0 /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
07:46
<branchman>
filename "/pxelinux.0"; (padded)
07:47
<alkisg>
Ah. No /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 ?
07:47
<branchman>
no, should I add it there?
07:47
<alkisg>
Can you post your whole /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to pastebin?
07:48
<branchman>
http://pastebin.com/TzAPbkRd
07:48
<alkisg>
Yes change the paths to include /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 (or nbd.img)
07:49
Then: sudo invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server restart
07:49
<branchman>
ok
07:49
and question: how will it know, where is /ltsp ? (it is in /opt)
07:50komunista has joined #ltsp
07:50
<alkisg>
Is that Lucid?
07:50
<branchman>
no, maverick
07:50
<alkisg>
grep TFTP_DIRECTORY /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
07:51
(it should say: TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot")
07:51
So the resulting directory would be /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
07:51
<branchman>
alkisg: ok, I changed it according to some text on internet, I will try to change it back
07:52
<alkisg>
Ugh, those ubuntuforums are really bad for ltsp :)
07:52
Prefer the mailing list or the irc logs
07:52
<vagrantc>
it should work with /srv/tftp alternately
07:52
i mean, i think all our scripts handle that
07:53
<alkisg>
Sure, as long as this directory exists, but I don't think tftpd-hpa in Lucid/Maverick create it
07:54
...it was agreed that Ubuntu would stick to /var/lib/tftpboot as the default for tftp...
07:54
<branchman>
alkisg: but tftpd-hpa does not want to restart now... restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.55" (uid=1000 pid=4300 comm="restart) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
07:55
<alkisg>
branchman: tftp is an upstart job, so try: sudo restart tftpd-hpa
07:55
If it fails, paste your /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
07:56
<branchman>
alkisg: ok, it restarted (is "service tftpd-hpa restart" deprecated?)
07:56
<alkisg>
I believe so, every services that get upstartified should be invoked with the upstart tools instead of `service` or `invoke-rc.d` etc...
07:57
branchman: do you have a /srv/tftp directory?
07:57
<branchman>
alkisg: no
07:57
<alkisg>
OK, go on with the changes...
07:58
(in other words, just restore all the files to their original values :))
07:59
<branchman>
ok, thanks for now, I will try to reinstall it and then ask again
08:06
<alkisg>
branchman: no need to reinstall anything... do you need the original configuration files?
08:09
<branchman>
alkisg: I hope I reinstalled it, but it writes only TFTP timeout
08:09
alkisg: maybe I deleted something I shouldn't
08:09
<alkisg>
branchman: sudo status tftpd-hpa
08:09
cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
08:09
ls -lha /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
08:10
Paste all those to pastebin
08:10
(along with your new dhcpd.conf - did you restart dhcpd?)
08:11
<branchman>
alkisg: so I forgot to install tftpd-hpa, I am going to reboot
08:11
<alkisg>
As you wish, but it shouldn't be necessary.
08:11
<branchman>
alkisg: I think client
08:11vagrantc has quit IRC
08:12
<branchman>
alkisg: it boots (at least it seems to do so) :-)
08:12
<alkisg>
Nice :)
08:12
See? The defaults are much better than what ubuntuforums suggest... :D
08:13
<branchman>
alkisg: yes, I see now - how long should the boot take?
08:13
<alkisg>
(I don't know if you actually use those, I've just seen some horrible advice there)
08:13
Anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the client speed
08:13
<branchman>
alkisg: ok, so maybe after 5 minutes I will come back :-) (but I hope I won't have to)
08:15
<alkisg>
If it stucks in the ubuntu logo, remove "quiet splash" from pxelinux.cfg/default and reboot the client.
08:15
<branchman>
ok
08:18
alkisg: so it seems to hang up after "Negotiation: ..size = 4kb[newline]bs=1024, sz=4[newline][ time] nbd0: "
08:19
<alkisg>
branchman: that usually means that inetd.conf exports a directory or a symlink instead of the actual i386.img file
08:19
<branchman>
alkisg: /etc/default/tftpd-hpa http://pastebin.com/VDVVhfaN
08:20
<alkisg>
tftpd-hpa looks ok, check /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf and /etc/inetd.conf
08:21
<branchman>
alkisg: dhcpcd http://pastebin.com/0r78rY6B (seems ok for me)
08:21
<alkisg>
yes (I supposed dhcp3-server was restarted after the change...)
08:22
<branchman>
alkisg: inetd except comments http://pastebin.com/2cV16U6u - ok, I am going to restart it
08:22redbaritone has joined #ltsp
08:23
<alkisg>
branchman: to restart inetd: sudo invoke-rc.d openbsd-inetd restart
08:23
finally, also paste /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
08:24
<branchman>
alkisg: http://pastebin.com/bafM5SYw
08:24
<alkisg>
OK, everything looks fine. OK, do a restart and see if the problem persists.
08:24
<branchman>
alkisg: ok, restarting client

Last night, I went over to my daughter's school to try to figure out how I hosed my LTSP system.
08:25
I went through the Xorg.*.log files and auth.log files. No help, there.
08:25
<branchman>
negotiation line and bs line is there...
08:25
<alkisg>
branchman: can you restart the server, to verify that all services were restarted?
08:26
<branchman>
alkisg: but nothing more so far; ok, I am going to restart server (my PC - I will be offline for some seconds)
08:26
<redbaritone>
However, I did notice that "gnome" was no longer an option, in the list of desktops, on the bottom of the password screen. (???)
08:26vagrantc has joined #ltsp
08:26branchman has quit IRC
08:26
<redbaritone>
Could I have hosed gnome?
08:28branchman has joined #ltsp
08:29
<branchman>
alkisg: it still writes only "[time] nbd0:"
08:29
<alkisg>
branchman: try replacing "quiet splash" in pxelinux.cfg/default with "break=mount"
08:30
Reboot the client. You'll get a busybox shell.
08:30vagrantc has quit IRC
08:30
<alkisg>
Try this command there: nbd-client 1.2.3.4 2000 /dev/nbd0
08:30
(where 1.2.3.4 == server-ip)
08:33
<branchman>
alkisg: "Other side returned error" and "Buffer I/O error /dev/nbd0, sector xy"
08:33
<alkisg>
Ugh that doesn't sound good
08:33
<branchman>
alkisg: same with block; It could not read partition table
08:33
<alkisg>
The partition table isn't a problem
08:33
But it should say size=504MB, not size=4k
08:35
<branchman>
alkisg: are there more configs, that I have not shown to you (and so did not repaired) and can be messed?
08:35
<alkisg>
branchman: no, those should suffice, unless you have some other ltsp server around too
08:44
<branchman>
alkisg: do I have to install nfs, or it is all installed by default?
08:44
<alkisg>
branchman: no nfs needed
08:45
<branchman>
alkisg: ok, I am rebuilding chroot, I hope it helps
08:46
<alkisg>
branchman: ah, now I remember
08:46
Did you also happen to change the nbd-server configuration/
08:46
?
08:46
I.e. did you create an /etc/nbd-server file?
08:46
(or is it /etc/default/nbd-server? I don't remember)
08:47korcan has joined #ltsp
08:47
<branchman>
alkisg: maybe, yes, /etc/nbd-server/config is there, but it is blank
08:47
alkisg: should I delete it?
08:47
<alkisg>
branchman: delete that file, stop nbd-server, and restart inetd
08:48
<branchman>
alkisg: ok
08:48
<alkisg>
That was probably the main cause of the problem
08:50
<branchman>
alkisg: good job, it boots :-); did you study source code to get these ideas?
08:53
<alkisg>
Er, no, I knew about those files even before studying the ltsp code
08:53
The main idea is, don't start changing whatever you see in the web because that makes it worse, try to pinpoint the problem instead :)
08:54
<branchman>
alkisg: I begin with it only because I though ltsp it not diskless by default, so I found diskless guide
09:21
<redbaritone>
Is there anything wrong with installing or removing an application from a client machine? (Removing with apt-get remove) Provided you're using your admin account, of course.
09:24
<alkisg>
If you mean "while logged on on a thin client" then you're actually on the server, so no difference there.

That's what I thought. I'm a bit skittish after hosing gnome, however. Must have been a fluke.

09:55
<jdahlin>
I have a question about ltsp, is the dbus system bus run on the server or each client?
10:00
<alkisg>
jdahlin: The clients do have a dbus daemon running, but that's unrelated to the session. I.e. the session dbus runs on the server, and communicates with the system dbus running on the server again.
10:01
Why the question? Any problems with dbus?
10:01
<jdahlin>
alkisg: I'm not running LTSP myself, I need to fix my software so it runs under ltsp and I need a way to uniquely identify each client machine
10:02
<alkisg>
echo $LTSP_CLIENT should produce a unique ip
10:02
Which software?
10:02
<jdahlin>
it's an ERP for the brazilian market
10:02
<alkisg>
OK. An easy way is to check for the LTSP_CLIENT env var, it should contain the client ip
10:03
<jdahlin>
yeah, that sounds about right
10:03
<alkisg>
But normally you wouldn't need to detect which client the user connects from...
10:03
...as the app runs on the server
10:04
E.g. suppose someone uses VNC to connect from computer A to computer B, and runs your app from computer B. Would it interest you to know that he is connected with vnc from computer A?
10:05
<jdahlin>
It's necessary to know because of fiscal reasons, to be able to print receipts you need to use a special hardware which is connected to the client machine
10:07
<alkisg>
Wouldn't PRINTER_0_DEVICE (in lts.conf) suffice for that? But anyway, if $LTSP_CLIENT suits you, np. :)

i've gone from ubuntu 8.10 w/ gnome to 10.04 w/ gnome. I did a fresh install. one thing that i'm having problems with is some computers (the old ones) work just fine, and other computers (the new ones) don't work quite as well. for instance, one new one gets to the LDM login screen, but when i try to login, it thinks for a second like it's going ot bring up my userspace, but takes me right back to the login screen. what do you thi
10:38
oh, this worked just fine with 8.10 w/ gnome.
10:39primeministerp has quit IRC
10:43komunista has joined #ltsp
10:46
<alkisg>
jdahlin: ok, but remember that your program will be running on the server and the serial port will be on the client, so you'd need to "forward" that port to the server. PRINTER_0_DEVICE does exactly that.
10:47
AndyGraybeal: while your sentence was cutted after "what do you thi", try to see if it's a compiz problem
10:47
!compiz
10:47
<ltspbot`>
alkisg: "compiz" :: if compiz is giving you problems, one way to disable it for all users is: sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager metacity
10:49
<AndyGraybeal>
ah i didn't realize i had compiz installed
10:49
let me see, evil compiz.
10:49
<alkisg>
It's preinstalled
10:49
<AndyGraybeal>
thank you alkisg
10:49
can i uninstall it and things will be fine?
10:49
<alkisg>
See the command I pasted above
10:49
<AndyGraybeal>
okay thank you
10:50
<jdahlin>
alkisg: PRINTER_0_DEVICE is for parallel port isn't it? if it were for serial it would be perfect
10:50
<alkisg>
!lts.conf
10:50
<ltspbot`>
alkisg: "lts.conf" :: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
10:51
<alkisg>
jdahlin: see the man page, it supports serial printers
10:53
<AndyGraybeal>
alkisg: success! your wonderfully awesome.
10:53
<alkisg>
You're welcome (damn compiz) :)
10:53
<jdahlin>
alkisg: excellent, that'll be much easier than setting up socat myself
10:58
<alkisg>
(you could also use LDM_SSHOPTIONS to forward a port with ssh instead of socat)

okay, another ignorant question; i chroot'd to /opt/ltsp/i386 but when i vim /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- i get vim command not found. i assume i have to apt-ge install vim - one question though is do i have to rebuild the image?
11:57
i'm following these instructions on how to get an eeepc to boot on LTSP: http://www.nubae.com/making-asus-eeepc-work-for-ubuntu-ltsp

hi, anyone there? :)
13:11
having some issues with Ubuntu 10.04 LTSP
13:11
<alkisg>
!question
13:11
<ltspbot`>
alkisg: "question" :: if you have a question about ltsp, please go ahead and ask it, and people will respond if they can. please also mention the linux distro and release you're using. :)
13:12
<toothbru1h>
ah thanks
13:12
well, I've done a clean install off the Lucid Ubuntu 10.04 alternate cd, with the "install LTSP server" option
13:12
the docs said thin clients can then boot immediately, but they don't
13:12
they get DHCP, then lots of dots and "done." follow, then they hang
13:12
no real info when trying to google the problem
13:13stefandebacker has joined #ltsp
13:13
<alkisg>
toothbru1h: they get dhcp? Do they load pxelinux.0?
13:13
<stefandebacker>
how does a client know if it's fat or thin in edubuntu ltsp?
13:13
<toothbru1h>
not sure how to check that? DHCP works, yes, but don't know about pxelinux.0
13:14
<stefandebacker>
they get dhcp
13:14
<alkisg>
toothbru1h: see that picture, pxelinux shows there: http://www.yourwarrantyisvoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/pxelinux-boot.bmp
13:15
So if you see those "Trying to load..." lines, they load pxelinux.0
13:15
<stefandebacker>
and as you know i boot with that disk
13:15
I haven't configure the server yet, I am first trying to figure out what is posible
13:15
<toothbru1h>
ah, yes, I got that when I commented out the other option in dhcpd.conf, but it says "loading aborted"
13:15
<stefandebacker>
I think they load pxelinux.0
13:16
<alkisg>
stefandebacker: toothbru1h is asking for a different problem, he's not talking to you
13:16
<toothbru1h>
alkisg: but when I leave the "if/else" (if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
13:16
<stefandebacker>
hum
13:16
<alkisg>
Don't mix the two problems :)
13:16
<toothbru1h>
hehe, okay :)
13:16
I have one client working now,
13:16
but another doesn't manage PXE
13:16
<stefandebacker>
I am new to this IRC
13:16komunista has quit IRC
13:17
<alkisg>
No problem. Let's get this one by one.
13:17
stefandebacker: a fat client is booted as fat, if a fat chroot was build,
13:17
or if LTSP_FATCLIENT=True in lts.conf
13:17
<stefandebacker>
ah
13:17
<alkisg>
On the other hand, if LTSP_FATCLIENT=False, then it's booted as thin, even if a fat chroot is used
13:17
<stefandebacker>
so I just have to set it in lts.conf
13:17
<alkisg>
So you can put [MACADDRESS] stanzas in lts.conf to decide for each client.
13:18
But, there's an easier way
13:18
<stefandebacker>
even easier....
13:18
<alkisg>
There's a new lts.conf directive, FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD. If you specify that =300, then all clients with RAM < 300 will be booted as thin, and others as fat.
13:19
So if you use RAM to separate your thin/fat clients, that's the easiest way to do it
13:19
<stefandebacker>
genial
13:19
so I just follow the howto how to install a fat client on my edubuntu, specify the lts.conf
13:19
and it should work?
13:19
<alkisg>
Right
13:20
<stefandebacker>
I think i can do that!
13:20
thanks!
13:20
did you get the 32mb clients to work?
13:20
<toothbru1h>
so, about the PXE issue,
13:20
my one client (the other 7 seem to work)
13:20
hangs at Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default \\ Loading aborted.
13:21
it stops with a "boot: _" prompt
13:21
<vagrantc>
i'd recommend at *lest* 64MB of ram, though 128MB is a good deal better
13:21* alkisg brb

could someone check something for me? I tried running ltsp-build-client with the --kiosk plugin and it's not working. I get an error that says /usr/share/ltsp/kioskSession doesn't exist. I checked and sure enough it doesn't. Is this something I did or is there a bug?

toothbru1h, did you build a client with the --kiosk arg?
13:31
<toothbru1h>
no, true, I didn't, sorry :)
13:31
<staffencasa>
I see a lot of issues with video settings, too, but I thought I would figure out why this doesn't exist first
13:32
<toothbru1h>
i must admit i'm rather a n00b with ltsp
13:33
<staffencasa>
me too

vagrantc, I got one result: /usr/share/ltsp/screen.d/kiosk
13:47
<vagrantc>
seems like it's missing in the packaging...
13:47
staffencasa: you could manually download it from...
13:48
<stefandebacker>
strange
13:48
<vagrantc>
staffencasa: what version is in the chroot?
13:48
staffencasa: dpkg --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 -l 'ltsp*'
13:48
just cut-and-paste the ltsp-client-core line
13:48

lemme see, just a sec...

staffencasa: that's the URL to download the file to install manually ... you'd have to run ltsp-update-image, too.

Heh. Deli linux + XDMCP is better :)

(continuing a conv from yesterday)
13:51
(about clients with <=32 MB RAM)
13:51
<staffencasa>
vagrantc, I'll give that a shot
13:51
<vagrantc>
staffencasa: or rather, there's a download link on that page

staffencasa: i'm not sure if that version is compatible with the version of ltsp-client-core you're running
13:52
staffencasa: probably ok, but just giving a heads up
13:52
<staffencasa>
it's on a test box anyways, so it's not a big deal
13:53
<alkisg>
staffencasa: or, apt-get source ltsp && then get the kiosk file from the extracted dir...
13:54moose-tek has quit IRC
13:54
<vagrantc>
that's more likely to be compatible, yes...
13:55
<staffencasa>
k, I'll try that first. Thanks for all your help!

I have clients where sound was working fine and recently it completely sstoped, any ideas?
15:16scott_ino has joined #ltsp

sahil: and if you reboot them it works again?

<sahil>
alkisg: no it does not, its ver curious that it just stopped working
15:24
we have two types of clients one works and one does not
15:24
<alkisg>
sahil: did you update your kernels / chroot etc before it stopped working?
15:25
<sahil>
perhaps-someone else was maintaining
15:25
kernel update i can say confidently was done
15:25
<alkisg>
distro/version?
15:26
<sahil>
ubuntu 9.10
15:26
just do a sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386 ?
15:26
<alkisg>
Try ls -lha /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386, is the date of initrd there the same as when the problems begun?
15:27
Or, ls -lha /opt/ltsp/images
15:27
<sahil>
and what am i looking for?
15:28
<alkisg>
The date, if it was updated when the sound problem started
15:28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3,9M 2010-06-11 15:53 vmlinuz-2.6.32-23-generic
15:28
E.g. mine was updated 2 months ago
15:29
<sahil>
my dates are pretty far back
15:29
april
15:30
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-04-13 21:05 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
15:30
<alkisg>
Then no update was done, so it wasn't a problem with updates
15:31
<sahil>
update done to core system?
15:31
no impact?
15:31
<alkisg>
I don't think so, except if pulseaudio API changed, which should be unprobable...

I've got a question, I'm planning on setting up wireless routers in the place of network switches should I be looking for anything with specific firmware or should just anything work?
16:43dlezcano has joined #ltsp
16:50
<johnny>
Luke_Wolf, for what?
16:50
what does that have to do with ltsp?
16:51
as there is no such thing as pxe booting via ltsp
16:51
err via wireless
16:51
so you won't be able to boot ltsp directly
16:52
you would have to have your switches with wireless repeaters maybe.. but it would not be fast
16:52
i wouldn't recommend it
16:52
best to keep your wired switches, unless you mean something completely different
16:55
<Luke_Wolf>
well what the concept is is to wire the router to the terminal and then connect to the router through the server connected to the router via wifi, because my client doesn't want to have it wired..
16:55
<johnny>
then your client will deal with slow access
16:55
and probably not want to use ltsp
16:56
it might be fast enough for them, but ymmv
16:56
i wouldn't expect it to work well
17:01
<Luke_Wolf>
*shrugs* that was kind of a given.. my clients think this project is a DoD research project keeping asking "will it do x?" just minus the budget.. but will I require any specific firmware functionality or will just any router do like I'm thinking?
17:01
<johnny>
well yo should buy one with good QoS ..
17:02
i think i would reject the project tho.. so make sure you get return slips
17:02
so you can return the routers
17:03
who knows.. you might get lucky..
17:08
<Luke_Wolf>
as much as that idea sounds good, we already accepted initial payment and got the parts for a majority of it, which would put us at a severe loss..
17:12
<Lns>
Luke_Wolf: heh, well you better get the fastest wifi bridges/routers you can then, depending on how many stations you're talking about here
17:17
<johnny>
Luke_Wolf, return it all :)
17:18
i hope you got receipts for those
