I'm soon getting second n -serie wlan router, so I can get little faster (I hope) booting for my HTPC. :)

<Guest22254>
hello guys
01:49
may I ask for some help booting ltsp with gpxe under ubuntu 10.04?
01:49
<muppis>
Guest22254, sure thing. Just ask, don't ask to ask.
01:49
<Guest22254>
it hangs after receiving the ip address from the server
01:50
so for a few days now I am stuck with this
01:50
I am a sysadmin in a school, and currently running an ltsp setup with ub. 8.04 fine
01:51
but would like to have ub. 10.04 running
01:51
reason I need gpxe is some clients can not boot pxe
01:52
<alkisg>
Guest22254: are you the one that was trying loadin ?
01:52
<Guest22254>
yes
01:52
<alkisg>
And if you try with a floppy, you have a problem?
01:52
I mean, is the problem in gpxe or in loadlin?
01:53
<Guest22254>
loadlind loads gpxe fine
01:54
it says ok at the end
01:54
<alkisg>
Does a floppy or cd work?
01:54
<Guest22254>
but i will try it with a floppy
01:54
to make sure
01:54
<alkisg>
Right. Because even if loadlin says it's ok, I don't believe it yet :)
01:54
<Guest22254>
i tried 2 different gpxe versions
01:54
<alkisg>
There might be device driver hooks or other windows stuff that were left behind
01:55
Try without loadlin
01:55
<Guest22254>
1.0.0 and the one beofre
01:55
ok I will do it now

hi
02:01
<Guest22254>
give me a minute
02:05
wow
02:05
it works
02:05
now I have to figure out 2 more thing
02:06
1 how to boot this from hdd so I still have that old dos thing working
02:06
and 2 is in fat client mode on the clients, there is not internet access
02:06
thin client mode has it
02:07
thanks alkisg
02:09
any ideas?
02:10
<muppis>
Guest22254, your clients connection goes thru ltsp server?
02:10
<Guest22254>
yes
02:10
<muppis>
Then enable NAT from there.
02:10
<Guest22254>
they connect only to ltsp server
02:10
how come it works in thin client mode?
02:10
<muppis>
This works for both https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ThinClientHowtoNAT
02:11
<alkisg>
Guest22254: for your booting, try my grubgpxe page instead of loadlin
02:11
<muppis>
Guest22254, your browser is probably runned in server, not in client?
02:11
<Guest22254>
in thin client mode, yes
02:12
ok, alkisg: please paste here that page
02:12
about grubpxe
02:12
<alkisg>
The one you were looking the other day in the ubuntu wiki

<Guest22254>
oop, can not remember now, please show me again
02:14
and thx
02:17
alkisg: so basically now that it boots fine from floppy, what I need to do is use grubpxe instead?
02:18
in that case do I still need to download anything from rom-o-matic?

<alkisg>
Guest22254: just follow the section for windows 98, doing exactly what it says
02:53
<Guest22254>
managed to get internet access from this howto
02:53
many thanks
03:39Da-Geek has joined #ltsp
03:43
<Guest22254>
alkisg: SUCCESS!!
03:44
<alkisg>
Nice
03:44
<Guest22254>
many thanks, booting also works, what is left is to edit the boot menu so it only displays "boot linux" or "boot dos"
03:45
<alkisg>
That shouldn't be difficult, `edit menu.lst` from dos should do it...
03:45
<Guest22254>
yep
03:45
:)
03:45
<alkisg>
Btw, you can also run many dos programs in dosbox
03:45
So it's possible that you wouldn't need dos at all
03:45
<Guest22254>
I know, perhaps I will do it again
03:46
previous problem was that when all students wanted to run that same dos thing the server almost crawled to a halt
03:46
<muppis>
Still in my dreams to make preseed for Ubuntu to install dosbox as frontend.
03:47
<alkisg>
Guest22254: You could run dosbox as a "localapp", i.e. so that it runs with the client resources
03:47
<Guest22254>
yes, like fat client mode
03:47
true
03:48
for now I keep it under dos, and see it later
03:48
<alkisg>
Just out of curiosity, what program is that?
03:48
<Guest22254>
:) it is a practice app for students to learn to type
03:49
I know I know there are linux versions, like klavaro
03:49
but I could not convince the teacher to switch
03:50
the teacher was not willing to learn something new
03:50
<muppis>
Guest22254, old scholl teacher?
03:50
<alkisg>
And it runs under dos?!!! Not even under windows?! Wow...
03:50
<Guest22254>
yes
03:50
:)
03:52
be back in a few minutes, I need to edit the menu.lst
03:53
reason I am doing all this is that I would like to have a new setup with ltsp fat clients instead of thin
03:54
<alkisg>
Guest22254: client specs? cpu/ram?
03:54
<Guest22254>
up until now I have been using older clients, and whyle it was running pretty fast I had to disable a few things like flash
03:54
<alkisg>
Btw, you can send DOS from the network, you don't have to have it on the local disk
03:54
<Guest22254>
which made students think this is a pretty bad setup
03:55
most clients are about 1ghz pIII with 256mb
03:55
some slower some faster
03:55
<alkisg>
256 Mb RAM is too little for fat clients
03:56
<Guest22254>
but each year we buy new machines so the ones we replace come to mee and use them in ltsp mode
03:57
now more and more faster are replaced that is why I would like to take advantage of this fat mode
03:57
I set up icewm as default and epiphany-browser
03:57
and openoffice
03:58
that is all they need
03:58
what is fallback in menu.lst ?
03:59
<alkisg>
If the first entry fails, it tries the second one
04:00
E.g. "1 = boot from network, 2 = boot locally" ==> if the server is offline, it'll boot locally
04:00
(but gpxe doesn't support chaining so don't give it much though)
04:01
<Guest22254>
aha, so I can just comment out most as I only need boot network and boot dos
04:04
<alkisg>
Right
04:11
<Guest22254>
may I ask more?

<Guest22254>
grubgpxe remembers the last selected, how can I have it to wait indefinetly for user select?
04:13
in menu.lst there is timeout 5,
04:14
should this be 0 or a very large number?
04:15Uzzi has quit IRC
04:26
<alkisg>
For customizing menu.lst, check the grub legacy docs
04:27Uzzi has joined #ltsp
04:28
<Guest22254>
success
04:30
now i just have to remeber all the dos win98 startup methods te remove the previous autoxec.bat based menu ot to put that dos thing in grup to start what I would like directly

i have a new issue today users with comiz enabled can't login ...
06:59
<Appiah>
and disabling it makes people able to logon again?
07:01
<gsouque>
yes
07:10
<Appiah>
did compiz work before on these clients for the users?
07:15
<gsouque>
yes
07:16
how can i disable compiz for a user without login and go to preference theme
07:16
<Appiah>
with gconf I'd guess
07:16
or editing some file by hand
07:17
<gsouque>
i did not find it in gconf ...

I'm sure it's there..

Hi, do i have to specify programs to run locally in ltsp if I have created a fat cleint chroot?
08:14
<robehend1>
nope
08:14
<reynolds_>
so I do not need to put anything under local apps in lts.conf
08:15
<robehend1>
nope. Since its a fat client, its all running locally anyways
08:15

alkisg1: so I sued use norton hgost 2003 to clone hdd's
08:37alkisg1 is now known as alkisg
08:37
<csaba_>
since I have many of these pc to boot ltsp
08:37
but with this one after cloning I get the error saying missing mbr helper
08:38
so the cloned hdd can not boot up
08:39
any ideas why it is happening with this gpxe and grub thing
08:41
can you suggest a solution?

<gsouque>
alkisg: ok thanks
08:45Kicer86 has joined #ltsp

I mean this grub thing prevents the disk from cloning or something?
08:47
<alkisg>
csaba_: to make a windows 98 disk bootable, use "sys c:
08:47
from a diskette
08:47
Then rerun bootlace etc so that you reinstall grub
08:48
I don't know why norton ghost can't properly clone disks with grub
08:48
But that's waaaay out of topic here in #ltsp now...

Successfully built first fat-client image over the long weekend and got to school, it boots!
11:01
2 questions--
11:02
How do I get a client to choose which image it boots from...
11:03dobber has quit IRC
11:03
<dgroos>
and 2, how do I recreate the thin-client image--I deleted it when I built the fat-client image. I've tried to create a new thin client image but it makes the fat image.
11:04
<ddunn>
dhcp can assign images
11:04
<dgroos>
*didn't delete the old image, it got written over.
11:05
ddunn: OK--I'll check into that.
11:05
<ddunn>
ltsp-update-image
11:06
<dgroos>
I did that and it just made another copy of the fat-client chroot.
11:06
<ddunn>
I saw this on a site somewhere
11:06
<dgroos>
I even rename things in the /opt/ltsp/ directory to the way they were, moving the fat stuff to it's own directory.

<dgroos>
Anyone know how to tell 'ltsp-update-image' which chroot to use for the image? I've got 2 chroots.
11:16Da-Geek has quit IRC
11:17
<Gadi>
dgroos: just use the same image for thin and fat
11:17
for those you want to be thin, set: FAT_CLIENT=False in lts.conf
11:18
<dgroos>
Gadi: You can do that!?
11:18
Can I get rid of the fat client chroot and go back to my thin-client image that has localapps and everything all set up?
11:19
<Gadi>
well, that one is not a fat client
11:19
so it can never be a fat client
11:19
(it lacks the local gnome, etc)
11:19
<dgroos>
OK :(
11:20
At this point, I need to get my thin client image back and then experiment/setup the fat client image. Ideas how?
11:20
<Gadi>
did you delete the thin client image entirely?
11:20
or did you save it somewhere?
11:21
the image is simply /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
11:21
<dgroos>
When I created the fat-client, the last step was to create the fat image and I guess it over-wrote my thin client image.

I still have the thin chroot so I want to recreate an image based on that chroot.
11:22
<Gadi>
what was the ltsp-build-client command you used to make the fat?
11:23
<dgroos>
But, using ltsp-update-image keeps making an image out of the fat chroot. I've tried renaming the chroots to no avail.
11:23
let me check my notes...
11:25
I used the directions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
11:25
I created the ltsp-build-client.conf then ran sudo ltsp-build-client
11:27
<Gadi>
well, it must have balked and told you to rename /opt/ltsp/i386, right?
11:27
(from your thin chroot)
11:27
<dgroos>
Yes, I called it /opt/ltsp/i386-thin.
11:28
<Gadi>
so, now you have : /opt/ltsp/i386-thin and /opt/ltsp/i386
11:28
right?
11:29
if so, the easiest thing for you to do, if you want to go back to having thin client by default, is to:
11:29
mv /opt/ltsp/i386 /opt/ltsp/i386-fat
11:29
<dgroos>
I did, but I renamed the new /opt/ltsp/i386-->/opt/ltsp/i386-fat and changed the /opt/ltsp/i386-thin--> /opt/ltsp/i386.
11:29
<Gadi>
ok
11:30
now, you have 2 chroots, which means each is exported on a different port
11:30
for nbd
11:30
<dgroos>
I think so, 2000 for the old? and 2001 for the fat.
11:30
<Gadi>
ltsp-update-image (with no arguments, will assume you want the chroot named with the same architecture as the server)
11:31
ltsp-update-image -a i386-fat
11:31
<dgroos>
hmmm... server is 64...
11:31
<Gadi>
will make the image out of the fat chroot
11:31
<dgroos>
ohhhh... let me try it :)
11:32
<Gadi>
to see which your clients are booting, check /etc/inetd.conf for the port numbers
11:32
<dgroos>
Also I can just check to see if the program I need my students to use, works :)
11:32
<Gadi>
and check /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default for the argument being passed
11:32
<dgroos>
right.
11:33
<Gadi>
(no argument = 2000)
11:33
<dgroos>
so will this create 2 images or do they overwrite?
11:33
<Gadi>
they do not overwrite
11:33
<dgroos>
one for the -i386-fat and another for the i386-thin.
11:33
<Gadi>
here's how it works:
11:33
<dgroos>
ok
11:34
<Gadi>
dhcpd.conf tells the client the path for pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg, by extension
11:34
pxelinux.cfg passes the nbdport
11:34
telling the client what image to use
11:34
each image can be connected to on a different port
11:34
so, if you want i386-fat
11:35
you should only need to change dhcpd.conf
11:35
to point to /ltsp/i386-fat/pxelinux.0
11:35
instead of /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
11:35
(you should see a directory for each chroot under /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp
11:36
and if ltsp-update-image is doing the right thing, it is populating the right port numbers in the right places
11:36
of course, if you keep moving things around, it may get confused
11:36
:)
11:37
ltsp-update-kernels will update all the tftpboot dirs and their pxelinux.cfgs
11:37
<dgroos>
it and me both :)
11:37
I've got 3 directories in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp
11:38
<Gadi>
probably from when you renamed things and ran ltsp-update-image
11:39
ltsp-update-image runs ltsp-update-kernels by default
11:39
in order to make sure everything is on its own port
11:41
<dgroos>
I ran: sudo ltsp-update-image -a i386
11:42
and it said: Cannot determine assigned port. Assigning to port 2001.
11:42
mkdir: cannot create directory `/opt/ltsp/fat-image/etc/ltsp': No such file or directory
11:43
I'm thinking there must be some config file for ltsp-update-image command that's following around the fat client chroot no matter what I rename it.
11:44
<Gadi>
no
11:44sugoruyo has quit IRC
11:44
<Gadi>
it analyzes all chroots
11:44
so it can determine the port
11:44
it is building an image for i386
11:45
but when it comes to port assignment, it needs to look at what ports the other chroots are on
11:45
which is stored in $chroot/etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf
11:45
<dgroos>
Also said: Regenerating kernel...
11:45
chroot: cannot run command `/usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels': No such file or directory (sorry for all the output here--not able to get to a pastebin at the moment)
11:46
<Gadi>
right
11:46
that chroot is broken
11:47
<dgroos>
OK, that's the fat one and I can live with that.
11:47
Think I should remove it?
11:48
<Gadi>
it is harmless for now
11:48
just try and get your thin clients booting again
11:48
then, you can remove it
11:50
<dgroos>
my clients can't boot, they go through the whole process of booting but just when the login screen is supposed to appear, they say:
11:50
Error: failed to connect to NBD server 192.168.0.1:2000
11:51
<Gadi>
grep 2000 /etc/inetd.conf
11:52
<dgroos>
returns nothing--just back to prompt.
11:52
<Gadi>
run: ltsp-update-kernels
11:53
<dgroos>
OK
11:53
checking for 2001 brought:
11:53
grep 2001 /etc/inetd.conf
11:53
2001 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
11:54

I get 'permission denied' if I don't sudo...
11:57
sudo /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default

sudo more....
11:58
<dgroos>
"more" is part of the command? :D
11:58
<Gadi>
yes
11:58
<dgroos>
That's a new one for me!
11:59
<Gadi>
more, less, cat
11:59
any of those
11:59
:)
11:59
<dgroos>
nice!
11:59
OK it worked. Now?
11:59
<Gadi>
did it say nbdport=2000
11:59
or some such?
11:59
<dgroos>
yes
12:00
<Gadi>
then thats the problem
12:00
do: ltsp-update-image --arch i386 --force
12:00
sudo (of course)
12:01
<dgroos>
Alas... the teacher is a slave to the bells. My lunch/prep period just ended and the 9th grade cherubs are soon to converge on the door.
12:01
<Gadi>
that will force it to recalculate all ports and such and get things in the right order
12:01
<dgroos>
Gadi: Thanks so much for your help and teachings.
12:01
<Gadi>
just do that and you will be good to go
12:02
sudo ltsp-update-image --arch i386 --force
12:02
<dgroos>
I'll try to slip that in! Thanks!!! I'll post results if I can.
12:02
Bye :)

i have a stubborn ldap that creates a machine account but winders machine wont join the domain...unknow n username or pw..i canr find anything in the logs to point me where to go..you have any hints?
12:42jhutchins has quit IRC
12:45
<Gadi>
"unknown username or password" as in for the administrator?
12:46
<cliebow>
from winders you enter a name and pw..usualy root and a pw from openldap account with uid 0 and gid 0
12:47
<Gadi>
sounds like a samba problem
12:47
check the samba logs
12:50
<cliebow>
i will go over it again.,.thanks!

Now all I've got to do is improve the fat-client chroot and then I can use that, instead.
15:42
robehend1: Glad it works :D
15:43
One way to bring teachers along is show them things that are way better (in their eyes) than what they were doing.
15:43
<robehend1>
fat clients are awesome. I really like being able to use the local hardware, such as scanners, printers, webcam, etc, with the thin-client
15:43
<dgroos>
those sims on the PHET site are like that.
15:44
Animations are good--easy to see the benefit.
15:44
<robehend1>
yep. and the fact you can manipulate them to show different data is the part they like
15:45
used the "how to build a circuit" one today with my 4th graders, all on fat clients. they loved seeing what they could build
15:45
<dgroos>
robehend1: you were the one that let me know that fat-clients *do* work well on P4's with 512 MB of RAM. :)
15:46
<robehend1>
suprising, isnt it? the things barely chugged along with XP on it
15:46
<dgroos>
nice.
15:47
<alkisg>
And with lxde they're even faster
15:47
<robehend1>
i do love me some lxde. I use it on my personal machines exclusively
15:51
<dgroos>
(had visitors)
15:51
lxde?
15:53
<robehend1>
a different DE, runs really light weight
15:53
also a bit more windows like, out of the box, with a 'start' menu kind of thing
15:56
<dgroos>
lxde is a kind of desktop--like GNOME? Sounds interesting though I'll use the vanilla flavor for now.
15:57
<alkisg>
Right, there's ubuntu/gnome, kubuntu/kde, xubuntu/xfce, lubuntu/lxde, and more...
15:57
<robehend1>
mhmm
15:58
<alkisg>
Though I'll admin I liked debian/lxde better than lubuntu
15:58
<robehend1>
i havent tried Lubuntu, myself. I just usually install lxde to a normal ubuntu install
15:59
<dgroos>
sudo apt-get install lxde-desktop?
15:59
<robehend1>
sudo apt-get install lxde
16:00
that way, you dont get all the extra junk from the desktop install
