help???
00:46
please
00:46
<muppis>
Just ask. If someone knows, s/he answers.
00:46
And I should start reading buffers..
00:47
joeoshawa, what is your actual command to start build clients?

<joeoshawa>
one sec
00:50
sudo ltsp-build-client —-arch i386
00:51
http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NfLiVdCr
00:51
this is the result
00:52
i got dhcp working after much hair removal and fallout
00:52artista_frustrad has quit IRC
00:55
<muppis>
joeoshawa, looks like it doesn't get that --arch at all. If you're using only i386 clients look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients#Creating%20ltsp-build-client.conf
00:56
<joeoshawa>
i agree looking now thanks
00:56
<alkisg>
(08:51:06 AM) joeoshawa: sudo ltsp-build-client —-arch i386 ==> watch the dashes, they are different
00:57
<joeoshawa>
i copy and pasted that maybe it was wrong
00:58
it says specific to 9.1 and 10.04 i am 10.10 will that be a problme
00:58
problem
00:59
<muppis>
It works fine. I think should say specific to 9.1 and above.
00:59
<alkisg>
joeoshawa: no, just try typing this by yourself
00:59
it's --, not —-
01:00
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch=i386
01:02
<joeoshawa>
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch=i386
01:02
k just checking
01:04
running now this takes forever
01:04
i can't believe that was it but i mean i spent the last two days on dhcp so my brain is fried
01:05
the whole two nic's and two subnet and what a subnet sis etc etc etc

!compiz

<ltspbot>
alkisg: "compiz" :: the default window manager in gnome is gnome-wm, which automatically chooses compiz if it thinks that the card supports it. Compiz is causing login problems to some clients (LP #673072). To disable it, see !disable_compiz. To restore it, see !restore_compiz
06:16
<alkisg>
baiki: this is probably your problem ^

06:17
<alkisg>
baiki: try this ^^^ and if it solves your problem, mention it in the bug report and also attach your ~/.xsession-errors there
06:17
...and your client graphics card model, with lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA
06:20
<baiki>
thanks a lot. will do so. and where can i find this bug report (or do i have to start one?)?
06:21dlezcano has quit IRC
06:25
<baiki>
but will this compiz change affect also the server settings? or just for for thin clients?
06:47Gremble has quit IRC
06:52
<alkisg>
baiki: yes, it will affect the server tooo
06:52
Do you want compiz on the server?

alkisg: An update to your N-computing question you had asked a few weeks ago. I came in this morning to discover a normal windows update had broken their V-space software, requiring me to rollback the update, and reinstall the vspace for all my workstations. That was N-computings fix for the problem, mind you. No patch. Just uninstall the needed security updates so our stuff works again!
07:56
<alkisg>
robehend1: heh... thanks for the info, I already convinced the other teachers here not to even try it :)
07:57
<robehend1>
wooo
07:58alkisg has quit IRC
08:00
<muppis>
robehend1, you asked about possible Windows IO issues in KVM. I tested today with XP and according that short testing against net and disk IO, I was pleased even without using virtio drivers.
08:01
robehend1, so my advice about that was outdated.
08:04
<robehend1>
niiiice
08:05
that'll make it much easier to setup next week
08:05
espicially since the machine will only be a backup domain controller, no dns/dhcp/printers/etc
08:06
<muppis>
And if you provide actual hardware for HDD, then you should hapy. We are using qcow2 imagefile.
08:06
happy..
08:07
<robehend1>
yep, it gets its own HD as well, since the other VM ill have on there will be LTSP, and I dont want Disk I/O fights
08:11
<muppis>
Sounds good.
08:13
<robehend1>
then i quit installing a full 10.04 image just for the kids to use firefox in the kindergarten room. Oh happy day.

<alkisg>
Is there a reason nbdswapd can't create sparse files? They're shared over the network, is it a problem if they're sparse?
08:45
(i.e. I think the client won't know they're sparse...)
08:48
<joeoshawa>
i got a dell t500 with 640 meg ram i am thin clienting dhcp is working and ltsp is up when i reboot the client i see eth1 nic link go down then come back up when the client passes bios
08:49
but i get operating system not found
08:49
on the client
08:51
<Gadi>
joeoshawa: sounds like you have not set the client to PXE boot
08:51
<joeoshawa>
i set network as the first boot option
08:52
<Gadi>
did the client do: DHCP .......
08:52
<joeoshawa>
no
08:52
<Gadi>
then, it is not properly set
08:52
<joeoshawa>
i was thinking maybe a bios update
08:53
<Gadi>
sometimes there is a separate BIOS option for network booting
08:53
<alkisg>
There might be 3 options in bios: (1) enable onboard LAN (2) enable boot rom (3) boot priority, first=lan
08:53
<Gadi>
aside from the boot order
08:53
<joeoshawa>
going into bios now
08:54
omg it takes forever
08:54
plug and play os to no?
08:54
reset config data
08:54
<alkisg>
But is this card onboard? Or is in on a PCI slot?
08:55
<joeoshawa>
pci
08:55
<alkisg>
Then it might not have a boot rom on it
08:55
<joeoshawa>
no onboard its a p111 500
08:55
<alkisg>
ok
08:56
<joeoshawa>
so why would it have a network boot option
08:58
<alkisg>
The BIOS is a generic software, to be used on computers with or without onboard NICs
08:58
If the NIC is not onboard an is on a PCI slot, then it can be whatever NIC - the BIOS can't know how to initialize all possible NICs in the world

so using it to network boot is impossible?
09:01

the read light flashes for a while then it spits it out
10:04
i will switch the cdroms and try again
10:06
<alkisg>
joeoshawa: does that client have a hard disk with an OS in it?
10:09
<joeoshawa>
no
10:09
no hdd connected
10:09
it was the cd rom
10:09
i have two in one connected i switched them and it worked i will tell you if it boots
10:13
ok this is what i get DHCP (net0.00.50:fc:54:c4:8e).... ok
10:14

<alkisg>
Check your tftp settings
10:16
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/Troubleshooting/TFTP
10:18
<joeoshawa>
checking the link hold on
10:18
thanks
10:20
running but no processes
10:21
let me make sure the file is there
10:23
first off its not there
10:26joeoshawa has left #ltsp
10:30
<m4xx>
i'm trying to run freenx with ltsp, i'm able to boot the client and login, but when on a thin client and i open msoffice using crossover then attempt to print something the connection dies. and i'm prompted with the login screen again. This does not seem to happen when using a the windows client.
10:30joeoshawa has joined #ltsp
10:31
<joeoshawa>
hey
10:31
there is no ltsp directory there
10:32
but i need to know which one to point it to that file is in many places on ubuntu
10:32
10 files found
10:34
should i point it to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386?
10:35
<alkisg>
joeoshawa: grep TFTP_DIRECTORY /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
10:35
m4xx: "when on a thin client"... you run freenx from a thin client to connect to an nx server?
10:35
<m4xx>
yes sir
10:36
well, i'm running nomachines client
10:36
<alkisg>
m4xx: erm, freenx or nxclient from nomachine?
10:36
:)
10:36
And the problem only happens when you try to print?
10:37
<m4xx>
i think it happens when it tries to grab the printers
10:37
like the printer list
10:37
<alkisg>
Did you enable printer sharing in the nx client settings?
10:37
<m4xx>
i'm not trying to print to a printer connected or networked with the client
10:37
<joeoshawa>
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot"
10:37
<m4xx>
i'm trying to print to the server's printer
10:38
not sure how to properly phrase this
10:38
<joeoshawa>
so it is booting from the right directory
10:38
<alkisg>
joeoshawa: ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 - is it there?
10:38
<joeoshawa>
yes
10:39
<m4xx>
i'm using office 2007, when i go to the print menu when it tries to populate the printers it crashes
10:39
<joeoshawa>
i did a search for files it is there
10:39
<alkisg>
m4xx: can you try that directly from the LTSP server, and not from a thin client? If it crashes from there too, then it isn't an LTSP problem...
10:39
<m4xx>
it does not
10:40
i first got everything working with the standard setup befor trying this
10:40
<alkisg>
joeoshawa: ok, continue the troubleshooting process, try to install tftp-hpa (the client) somewhere and to download the file as the wiki page suggests
10:41
<joeoshawa>
ok will have to continue later gtg
10:41
kids hungry
10:41
but very frustrating
10:41
<alkisg>
m4xx: do you see anything in the user's ~/.xsession-errors ?

11:14
<alkisg>
joeoshawa: did you follow the instructions of the wiki page? Are all those correct?
11:14
<joeoshawa>
when i run the grep tftp /etc/inet.d.conf still comes back with all that
11:15
<alkisg>
Then remove that line from inetd.conf...
11:21
<joeoshawa>
what if i rename it and add .old and make a blank inet.d.conf
11:22
inetd.conf
11:23
<alkisg>
Is that easier than removing a single line?!
11:23
Don't make a blank file, the other services won't work
11:25
<joeoshawa>
so what line do i remove there are four
11:25
<alkisg>
grep tftp /etc/inetd.conf
11:26
Paste the output here
11:26
<joeoshawa>
# tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /srv/tftp
11:27
<alkisg>
If that's the output, then you don't need to delete anything, your inetd.conf is ok in regards to tftp
11:29
Proceed with the rest of the troubleshooting steps

ok so what should i do
12:14
access violation sounds like a permission thing
12:15
<alkisg>
joeoshawa: try again without "sudo" in front
12:15
also remove /tmp/pxelinux.0 if it's there
12:16
so:
12:16
sudo rm /tmp/pxelinux.0
12:16
cd /tmp
12:16
tftp 192.168.0.3 -v -m binary -c get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
12:19
<joeoshawa>
did that before sudo just erased file did again still same
12:20
<alkisg>
OK, next: ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
12:20
What's the output? Paste it here. Without sudo.

<alkisg>
(08:19:54 PM) joeoshawa: did that before sudo just erased file ==> do you mean that there was a file in /tmp/pxelinux.0?
12:23
If so, then tftp was successful...
12:24
<joeoshawa>
yeah it connects thats what i am tellng you but it violates the file is empty
12:24
<alkisg>
Hmmm....
12:24

What does this return?

your tftp is still running out of inetd
12:29
<alkisg>
Heh nice one Gadi :) joeoshawa you didn't restart tftp...
12:29
<m4xx>
hmm, also broken on linux client on the server it self, perhaps it's nomachine's app that's broken
12:29

(07:02:27 PM) alkisg: sudo restart tftpd-hpa
12:29

yes will again

@ sorry for not beeing really master of english language. it works, wo/ affecting the server's X11 setup! just give me time to do all of this. my friend i am sitting in gambia for almost 8 years. guess what.... our internet connections really....
13:31
it does not affect my server.
13:31
just for the record
13:32
<alkisg>
It disables compiz for ALL users on the server
13:32
So if you login with some client on the server, you can't have compiz effects
13:32
The same for thin clients too
13:32
*if you login with some *user on the server...
13:34
vagrantc: care to comment on a new crazy idea? What if I changed a few scripts so that /opt/ltsp/i386 could be netbooted with NFS (rw) from a vbox client? This way teachers could customize their fat chroots by using a GUI, with only minor changes in the current code... any downsides?
13:36

@alkisg i don't need those fancy effects anyway. old-fashioned... i know. however, guess I have to follow up this bug report now and share my experience....
13:39

<m4xx>
it just freezes when i try to connect =\
13:56robehend1 has quit IRC
14:01
<alkisg>
One safeguard could be a lock in /var/somewhere, and an initscript that sets it, checks it, deletes it on shut down, and prompts the user if "the lock exists, if you're absolutely sure that noone else is booting rw from that disk, press y to delete it or n to reboot"
14:02
<vagrantc>
yeah, something like that seems reasonable
14:03
very early in the boot process
14:03
maybe in the initramfs, even

@alkisg on the server (in this case an IBM laptop). what should I have delivered?
14:34
or mentioned?
14:34
<alkisg>
!localxterm
14:34
<ltspbot>
alkisg: "localxterm" :: while sitting on a thin client, open a gnome terminal. In that, run: ltsp-localapps xterm. An xterm will open. That xterm runs locally, so any commands you enter there are executed directly on the client.
14:35
<alkisg>
Can you run it again, this time from a localxterm on the thin client that had the problem?
14:36
<baiki>
The TC didn't create this problem. i got as a donation 3 hp t3350 thin clients and another hp.
14:36
will run your code.
14:36

Wait, where did you experience that problem? While logging in with new users on the server (==ibm laptop)?!

thin client. not my laptop=server (not a VM).
