Hi there !
06:53
Can anyone help with a failed ltsp-build-client ?
06:53
upgraded Edubuntu 8.04lts to 10.04 lts and clients would not connect anymore ...
06:53
ltsp build clients gives : I: Base system installed successfully. and then error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally
06:54
Any clues on how to fix this ?
06:54
I have a strace of the script, but it does not make sense to me ...
07:00
<Appiah>
http://www.khattam.info/solved-ltsp-error-ltsp-client-installation-ended-abnormally-2010-01-30.html tried this?
07:01
and what are you typing? ltsp-build-client and nothing more?
07:03
<mssmss>
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386
07:06
<Appiah>
did the suggestions in above link do any differense?
07:08
<mssmss>
tried that ... it did not work .... only then did an strace ...... it is at : http://pastebin.ca/1973680
07:25
<AndyGraybeal>
not that i know anything, my boxes wouldn't boot until i purged that fancy 3d desktop application
07:25
compex?
07:25
heh. not compex.. something i can't remember
07:26
<mssmss>
Compiz :-)
07:27
It's normally disabled on my systems
07:27
<AndyGraybeal>
k
07:28
yea :)
07:28
it causes much evil.
07:28
alkisg and the others will know what to do.
07:29
once they wake up.
07:30
<mssmss>
thanks anyway .. maybe I'll try back again later ...

AndyGraybeal: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/589034
08:44
maybe you are lucky and your clients boot without troubles, mine had a very low rate
08:44
until I pactched and disabled nbd-proxy
08:56
<AndyGraybeal>
thank you

markit interesting.. i wonder if i will run into problems in the future for some reason .. i wonder why i'm lucky.. .i hope for some reason in the future, i'm not unlucky because of this.
09:00
do you think i should pro-actively run the patch? or if it works don't fix it... mindset?
09:00
i'm afraid to touch it :)

btw, upgrading kubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 ha failed :((
09:11
<AndyGraybeal>
hm everything is gb
09:12
does it effect gb?
09:12
sucks your upgrade failed :(
09:13
i'm paying attention to nagios right now.. tryin to get distributed checks happening w/ nsca
09:13
<markit>
as far as I've understood, the gb stuff is more likely to trigger the problem
09:13
nsca? what is it?
09:13
<AndyGraybeal>
markit: okay thank you
09:13
nsca, it's a nagios companion (not ncsa)
09:15
<Trixboxer>
hi.. ltsp running good now but im facing issues for more than 5 clients.. is it possible to have /home folder on NFS so to have a roaming profile user ?
09:15
is there any project such as ltsp or similar to it ?

[Trixboxer] alkisg: LTSP running fine, but I'm trying to export /home dir over NFS and keeping the local os in client ==> you mean fat clients?
17:02
Or standalone clients?
17:06mgariepy has quit IRC
17:08
<Trixboxer>
alkisg: does fat client have their own HDD and OS ?
17:11alkisg has quit IRC
17:16
<johnny>
no
17:16
they get it all over the network
17:22mgariepy has joined #ltsp
17:22
<Trixboxer>
johnny: see, we have 20 desktop machines on which 30 people want to work, there timings are different but time overlaps and many a time same person cant get same PC, LTSP is running good for now but its getting loaded and apps are getting slowed, so I thought if I could put /home on NFS then things would be more efficient...
17:23
<johnny>
it would, but only if you use fat clients
17:23
<Trixboxer>
do fat client use their own brain and ram ?
17:24
<johnny>
yes
17:24
<Trixboxer>
that's good :)
17:24
but with my current ubuntu 10.04 setup, how do I force my clients to become fat ? :)
17:25
<johnny>
build a new fat client chroot
17:25
and then replace your other one, with a backup obviously
17:25
there's documentation somewhere
17:25
<Trixboxer>
how ?
17:25
<johnny>
alkisg knows the most about it
17:25
<Trixboxer>
oh
17:25
<johnny>
it's an option to ltsp-build-client
17:26
<Trixboxer>
what a luck, I got u but he left me ( #ltsp )
17:26
:)

18:17
<alkisg>
Trixboxer: yes, that page is what you should follow for fat clients on ubuntu 10.04
18:17
<Trixboxer>
great u back :)
18:18
<alkisg>
Try with the ltsp-build-client.conf method, I think it's better than the command line method
18:18
<Trixboxer>
did u read my big message ?
18:18
alkisg: ok, currently an environment is being built with commandline
18:18
<alkisg>
With the 30 people on 20 clients? Sure, I have 200 students on 10 clients :D
18:19
Ah, continue with that then, no point in changing it now...
18:19
<Trixboxer>
yeah but 20 will be online at any time
18:19
and single server is not enough
18:19
<alkisg>
You can customize it later if you want, e.g. install nfs etc
18:19
<Trixboxer>
nah
18:19
nbd works great on 10.04
18:19
<alkisg>
Why not?
18:19
<Trixboxer>
10.10 was giving me problems with nbd
18:20
<alkisg>
NFS for /home, not for root
18:20
Leave root with nbd as is, no point in switching that to nfs
18:20
<Trixboxer>
yup
18:20
<alkisg>
In fat clients the server CPU isn't strained, only the network, but if you have gigabit it should be more than enough for 20 clients
18:21
<Trixboxer>
yeah I have it
18:21
gigabit switch and NIC
18:21
<alkisg>
And the clients too?
18:21
<Trixboxer>
yeah NIC
18:21
<alkisg>
Nice
18:21
And client RAM/CPU?
18:21
<Trixboxer>
2Gb intel DC
18:22
2.8 ghz
18:22
<alkisg>
Perfect, all should work fine with that specs
18:22
<Trixboxer>
I hope so
18:22
<alkisg>
Graphics cards?
18:22
<Trixboxer>
not really, its onboard
18:22
<alkisg>
Intel?
18:22
<Trixboxer>
yup
18:23
and everyone has 160 Gb disk
18:23
<alkisg>
Nice lab, I wish I had one too :D
18:23
<Trixboxer>
but I dont think that we will use a bit of it
18:24
<alkisg>
You can make a swap partition if you want, and even use the local disk for data, but I think that you'll see that none of those is really needed
18:24jhutchins_lt has joined #ltsp
18:24
<Trixboxer>
actually buying more PC's is waste of resources hence implementing LTSP
18:24
hmm
18:25
can I use local disk for any other reason than swap ?
18:25
for same machine..
18:27
<alkisg>
Sure, you can see the disk and use it as you wish
18:27
You could even make a little script to use it for /home, but in that case the users wouldn't be able to easily switch PCs
18:27
<Trixboxer>
hmm correct
18:30
alkisg: I have a n810 too, but not finding it very useful
18:30
:(
18:31
I hope even that could have booted over NW and I would have enjoyed real roaming profile :)
18:31
<alkisg>
If you can put an nx client into it, you could have a roamingprofile...
18:32
<Trixboxer>
nx client for maemo OS ?
18:33
<alkisg>
I don't know if that's possible, I've never had such an appliance
18:34
<Trixboxer>
hmm I think thats for maemo5.. my device is quite old

<AndyGraybeal>
does this page also work in ubuntu 10.04 --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/InstallNTPServer
18:40
it says it's good for 8.04, which is a little old, and i'm afgraid to follow it.
18:40
<alkisg>
AndyGraybeal: I haven't tried it, but it's should apply, without even needing the script it mentions
18:40
I.e. just install an ntp server + the TIMESERVER directive in lts.conf without modifying your chroot
18:40artista_frustrad has quit IRC
18:40
<AndyGraybeal>
okay, do i still need to rebuild the client?
18:41
awseom
18:41
!
18:41
<alkisg>
Not rebuild, not update
18:41
<AndyGraybeal>
thanks
18:41
<alkisg>
AndyGraybeal: you can also use an external ntp server like the ubuntu one
18:41
(if your clients can access the internet)
18:42
<AndyGraybeal>
nice thank yoiu, that was going to be my next question (i have a time server internasl on my network, but it happens to not be the ltsp server)
18:42
excellent thank you.
18:43
how often will it poll the time server?
18:43
is there a setting for that?
18:43
<alkisg>
TIMESERVER=ip
18:43
TIMEZONE=zone
18:44
(e.g. ntp.ubuntu.com and Europe/Athens for me)
18:44
(so just put the ip of your own ntp server there)
18:44
<AndyGraybeal>
ok, thank you
18:44
<Trixboxer>
AndyGraybeal: You can use a script and cron to update time as u wish
18:45
<AndyGraybeal>
thank you Trixboxer. i'l see how those two simple configuration lines work out first.
18:45
<alkisg>
AndyGraybeal: if it works and you have some time, it'd be nice if you updated the wiki page with the required steps for 10.04 (instead of the old 8.04)
18:45
<AndyGraybeal>
will do alkisg

pls don't laugh at me, but is it possible to have SCREEN_10, SCREEN_11, SCREEN_12, be x consoles (=ldm) or is that just ignorant? i know i can have 07, 08 and 09 be x consoles.
18:50
<alkisg>
I think you can, the quickest way is to try it :)
18:50
<AndyGraybeal>
thank you alkisg.
18:50
<pmatulis>
AndyGraybeal: why not just...
18:50
try it
18:51
<AndyGraybeal>
pmatulis: i'm at home, the stuff is at woek :) but yes, your all very right, i'm extremely timid sabout all of tihs.
18:51
<beakburke>
usually on a nonLTSP desktop there are consoles on 1-6 and a X server on 7
18:52
<alkisg>
beakburke: on ubuntu/ltsp /etc/init/tty[1-6].conf are deleted...
18:52
<beakburke>
yep
18:52
I mean on regular workstation
18:52
<alkisg>
So SCREEN_02 to SCREEN_12 are available for whatever the sysadmin specifies in lts.conf
18:53
<beakburke>
the SCREEN_XX setting in lts.conf will let you put them on whatever screen you want
18:54
<AndyGraybeal>
interesting. thank you very much.

is there a way i can ssh to the client boxes for any reason?
20:11
i don't know why i would want to do that necessarily.
20:11
the thouht just occured to me.. maybe to look at some log file or something
20:12
though i did notice the log file server option in lts.conf
20:12
maybe just even to ping somethin directly from the client to make sure of something.
20:19
<beakburke>
I think you can
20:19
as long as sshd is installed and running in the client chroot
20:25
<AndyGraybeal>
nice thank you, i would need to rebuild if i installed it, correect?
20:25
i can just do like apt-get install openssh-server in the chroot?

20:30

20:31
i felt that way the first time i signed on to ltsp in 2001.and got to speak with jammcq..on a Sunday morning
20:31
<AndyGraybeal>
i'm still in awe... i'm nearing the better part of a year i think with running this in my workplace.. and everyone is very accustom to it now... and i get no complaints, and any issues i may have it's my own fault of ignorance.. and the solutions are always very easy and easy to understand.
20:32
<cliebow_>
and you have access to these guys that dreamed it up in the first place..
20:32

i'm still scared crapless to edit or change anything though.. but that's my own issue.
20:32

20:35
<cliebow_>
ltsp by the sea
20:35
the end of the world in Maine
20:36
<AndyGraybeal>
aaah maine, wonderful; i love maine.
20:36
one day, maybe i will live there. i worked on a house for a very short period of time there. i had a great time.
20:36
<cliebow_>
so this is the dev conference we hold every year
20:37
<AndyGraybeal>
nice
20:37
<cliebow_>
i work at ellswrth school system
20:38
<AndyGraybeal>
do you use SSO (kerb and all that?) or do you us MS AD ?
20:38
<cliebow_>
i sue openldap myself
20:38
<AndyGraybeal>
nice
20:39
i still need to get my bearings with that.
20:39
<cliebow_>
we migrated from ad about six years ago..ihavnt gotten a god handle on the new ldif config openldap myself really..the old ldap works so well
20:40
<AndyGraybeal>
nice, that's kind of how i expect i'll manage also.
20:40
<cliebow_>
you in a school?
20:41
<AndyGraybeal>
no, i co-own a restaurant that has decided to adopt technology. we emply about 100 people... and we are slowly moving away from the early 90's.
20:41
*employ
20:41
<cliebow_>
never missed the o..
20:42
<AndyGraybeal>
I've been with the ship for almot 6 years now.. it's a great experience.. i get to learn a lot of the systems and operations of how to run a business.
20:42
the o... ?
20:43
<cliebow_>
i have to look at a restaurant software rig at the place we all just had dinner..Ill look you up if you like after that..
20:43
heh the o in employ..never missed it
20:43
we emply about 100 p
20:44
<AndyGraybeal>
lol i got.. sorry.
20:44
<cliebow_>
no prob..seems like a great niche for open source software..the restaurant biz..
20:44
<AndyGraybeal>
yea, i got a lot on my plate, but it's a fun way to just dive in and start learning to swim.
20:45
<cliebow_>
i really am doing the same..diving in.. i am no guru..just steady
20:47
<AndyGraybeal>
yea, it is.. i'm looking at 3 point-of-sale packages right now, openbravopos, floreantpos, and viewtouch, all run on linux. viewtouch isn't open, but it's got the best feature set, it's also the oldest. so i think we are going to move with it soon. it's not very expensive either. i'm still going to keep my eye on openbravopos and floreant. openbravopos also goes along with an ERP application.. which would help because we do manuf
20:48
also timetrex has a workforce scheduling application as well as payroll... all open.. so i want us to move from peachtree payroll and scheduling 100 people each week with pencils.
20:49
there are a lot of projects i have on the assembly line. i don't talk much about it with the people i work with thouhg, i'm afraid they might revolt. they like baby steps.
20:50
just giving our payroll supervisor a rubber stamp with her signature on it so she can process our payroll checks faster didn't go over. she insists on signing each one.
20:51
there's a lot of old mentality at play... and trying to work around that is tricky. i piss a lot of people off :)
20:51
<cliebow_>

20:52
<AndyGraybeal>
who put you up to look at the software at your local eatery? tell the story if you don't mind.
20:54
<cliebow_>
whic sounds like you are right on track..set up a sandbox and give these things a whirl..i was just approached at th restaurant by the lesse who is just wherer you are..trying to run somthing smoothly
20:54
where the ltsp groupp ate
20:54
<AndyGraybeal>
'by the lesse' ?
20:55
<cliebow_>
yeah..just alittle oceanfront place with a lot of turnover in management
20:56
<AndyGraybeal>
yea, i have our HR supervisor looking at timetrex, and the guy who implimented our first POS (peice of shiz) looking at ViewTouch, i need the help.
20:56
<cliebow_>
where are you located?
20:56
<AndyGraybeal>
we are in southeastern ohio, athens ohio.
20:57
we think it's the longest running co-operative in ohio, and we've written some of ohio's legislation based on corporations like ours.
20:58
<cliebow_>
trying to think of the guy in ohio who did some work with us
20:58
<AndyGraybeal>
i might be off base with that longest running coop in ohio, atleast coop restaurant then.
20:59
<cliebow_>
so you are running a kiosk type nevironment as well as the restaurant piece?
21:00cliebow has quit IRC
21:00
<cliebow_>
crap..my wife signe doff
21:01
my typimg is bad enough when i am not drinking beer with this group
21:01
<AndyGraybeal>
public kiosk is not implemented, but i have plans for it. the ltsp network is, for now, only for employees to do their day-to-day tasks
21:01
hear-hear to beer; i got a bells cherry stout i'm sipping on.
21:02
<cliebow_>

i've got my eye on the school systems... the teachers around here are all MS brainwashed.
21:03
<cliebow_>
here we are inundated with macbooks..i to 1 laptop initiative
21:04
<AndyGraybeal>
did you see that video that MS just released targeting schools warning them not to try OpenOffice.... below the belt.
21:04
<cliebow_>
no..! have to find it!
21:04
<AndyGraybeal>
i can drudge it up... it's rediculous.
21:04
it makes me feel very very sad.
21:04
<cliebow_>
love to pass it on to my tech guyd
21:04
guys
21:05
<AndyGraybeal>
MS is scared.. and their public relations is very savy
21:05
do you guys run OO or any variation thereof ?
21:05
<cliebow_>
and have dough to back it up
21:05
most of the macboks have oo
21:05
<AndyGraybeal>
nice
21:05
<cliebow_>
iirc
21:06
that was the impetus for moving from ad..they had us by the the..err private parts
21:06
<AndyGraybeal>
this might be it: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/101410-microsoft-ad-trashes.html
21:06
i am on modem, so you'll have to forgive me if it's wrong (yes dialup modem)
21:07
watch th whole thing with sound on and everything.
21:08
<cliebow_>
cool!..FUD..
21:08
fear uncertainty and doubt
21:08
<AndyGraybeal>
cliebow_: that is very very smart your school board felt cornered... i'm afraid too many people like being spoonfed .
21:09
or don't know any better
21:09
<cliebow_>
it was my tech coordinator that had the vision to give me the time to implement it..at the time the school board hadnt a clue
21:09
it was not trivial..he did not know i could code it (nor didi i)
21:09
<AndyGraybeal>
nice.
21:10
<cliebow_>
..looking for the video..
21:11
<AndyGraybeal>
i had to put on a presntation re's opensource software and rally the troops to move my group in the right direction.. i told them that things are going to be very rough, but I will be there to help smooth things out and to just have patience with me.
21:11
ah that link didn't have the video?
21:11
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzdykNa2IBU&feature=player_embedded
21:11
<cliebow_>
well..not obviously..
21:11
ahhh..
21:12
<AndyGraybeal>
(first link in the aarticle i it looks like)
21:13
<cliebow_>
i have no sound here..but i can see the thrust..
21:13
<AndyGraybeal>
i sometimes wonder... our school systems neeed so much money, yet pay so much for MS operating systems and office suites... it's awful.
21:14
<cliebow_>
passing this onto Scottie to look at..He is in condition for a rant 8`)
21:14
<AndyGraybeal>
it amakes me tremendously sad.
21:14
scottie is your tech? or ltsp team memeber?
21:14
<cliebow_>
yes for sure..the way i feel for the 200 laptops i have to tend with like 805 breakage per year..cause you dont have to earn them
21:15
he wrote a lot of the c in ltsp5//like ldm..
21:15
sbalneav
21:15
<AndyGraybeal>
yeaa, i can't imagine!!!!!
21:15
ldm is badass :)
21:16
<cliebow_>
love to plat this for the guys her..thank you
21:16
play
21:16
he is writing a pam module right now.. to streamline ldm..and make it ldap aware
21:17
<AndyGraybeal>
ah he is very amazing. i'm am hoping to get some of my nagios setup done tonight.
21:17
once this ltsp is ldap aware, maybe there will be some easy to understand docs on how to set up sso :)
21:18
<cliebow_>
trying to get the floor here to play this..
21:18
<AndyGraybeal>
where are you at right now?
21:18F-GT has quit IRC
21:20
<AndyGraybeal>
the 'ceo' or cheif financial advisor person or whatever won't move to open source yet... but she is the one that sent out the email about how our organization is built much like an open source software organization like apache and others... i was like.... BING! when i saw it.
21:21
so i think she is slowly coming around.
21:21
once i get a vpn setup.. i'll get her straightened around.
21:23
<cliebow_>
i am at ltsp by the sea../in Tremont Maine with the majority of the ltsp devs
