| 04:33 | <alkisg> Ouch the new update-kernels stuff will need some Ubunu-ization
| |
| 04:35 | <muppis> Any idea could somehow ltsp related when hdmi sound is missing after boot? Using fats.
| |
| 04:35 | And 7buntu 12.04 as well.
| |
| 04:37 | <alkisg> And it works with the 12.04 live cd?

| 09:27 | <rkwesk> In order to add a howto for existing wikis related to ltsp I come up with this excellent one in Greek http://ts.sch.gr/tech/win32-loader and this seemingly less recent http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ltsp/index.php?title=Main_Page
| |
| 09:28 | where does one go to add today's howto?
| |
| 09:28 | <alkisg> rkwesk: err the first one is about win32loader, the second one about LTSP
| |
| 09:28 | What are you looking for?
| |
| 09:29 | It'd be a greate idea to translate the win32loader greek page and put it in the new LTSP wiki...
| |
| 09:30 | We're just writing the Greek guide to LTSP, it's location will be in http://ts.sch.gr/wiki/Linux/LTSP
| |
| 09:30 | <rkwesk> Yes, I was asked to make a howto just like yours about win32loader (but I assume in English)
| |
| 09:30 | <alkisg> (it was in .pdf previously)
| |
| 09:30 | <rkwesk> yes, but also in Greek?
| |
| 09:31 | <alkisg> Our wiki? Yup. The LTSP wiki? Nah, just in English
| |
| 09:31 | !wiki
| |
| 09:31 | <ltsp_> alkisg: wiki: the LTSP wiki. You can find it at http://wiki.ltsp.org
| |
| 09:32 | <alkisg> !forget wiki
| |

| |
| 09:32 | <alkisg> I'm not sure if you need an account to edit pages, knipwim will englighten us if he's available...
| |
| 09:33 | If not, you can write it under the UbuntuLTSP wiki and we can copy it later to the main LTSP wiki
| |
| 09:33 | <rkwesk> ok, I can always subscribe
| |
| 09:34 | <alkisg> !win32loader
| |
| 09:34 | <ltsp_> alkisg: I do not know about 'win32loader', but I do know about these similar topics: 'win32-loader'
| |
| 09:34 | <alkisg> !win32-loader
| |
| 09:34 | <ltsp_> alkisg: win32-loader: win32-loader.exe can be used to add a "PXE - Network boot" option to the Windows boot manager. It's developed for Debian and it uses gPXE/iPXE for the network booting. You can download a binary from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/win32-loader/unstable/ (if someone can write a wiki page about it it'd be nice :))
| |
| 09:34 | <alkisg> !forget win32-loader

| |
| 09:35 | <alkisg> !learn win32-loader as win32-loader.exe can be used to add a "PXE - Network boot" option to the Windows boot manager. It's developed for Debian and it uses gPXE/iPXE for the network booting. You can download a binary from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/win32-loader/unstable/ (if someone could write a wiki page for that it'd be great, a Greek page you can translate as a starting point is available at http://ts.sch.gr/tech/win32-loader)
| |
| 09:35 | <ltsp_> alkisg: The operation succeeded.
| |
| 09:36 | <rkwesk> ok I will translate the excellent wiki page that Alkisg has created in Greek.

| |
| 13:49 | <Hyperbyte> Should hang around here more often with us common folk. :)
| |

| |
| 15:59 | <alkisg> Do that, reboot clients, see if they work, or paste any error messages
| |
| 16:00 | <sammymax33> My server is a 64bit laptop so I am running this version does this change the code above
| |
| 16:01 | Assuming this is on the server
| |
| 16:03 | <alkisg> Try the command and if it opens an empty file, replace i386 with amd64
| |
| 16:05 | <sammymax33> unable to open /dev/tty8: Permission denied
| |
| 16:05 | errer message for either one
| |
| 16:07 | | |
| 16:07 | <alkisg> That's all? No previous or later error messages?
| |
| 16:08 | <sammymax33> Nope :( there is a 'openvt:' before the message but that is it
| |
| 16:08 | Am I supposed to do this as the sudo user
| |
| 16:09 | <alkisg> The command on the server to disable mode setting? yes
| |
| 16:12 | <sammymax33> OK, I ran sudo ...command, and it just returned nothing just gave me another cursor
| |
| 16:17 | <alkisg> What did you run exactly?
| |
| 16:17 | <sammymax33> sudo open /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 16:18 | <alkisg> No that wasn't a command, you were supposed to use and editor there

| |
| 16:25 | No need for it
| |
| 16:25 | Are you working directly on the server?
| |
| 16:25 | <sammymax33> yes
| |
| 16:25 | <alkisg> Or do you access it from e.g. ssh?
| |
| 16:25 | OK just open a gnome-terminal then and enter the command I wrote above
| |
| 16:26 | <sammymax33> once it boots I hit Ctrl-Alt-F2
| |
| 16:26 | <alkisg> Don't hit it :)
| |
| 16:26 | Login graphically
| |
| 16:28 | <sammymax33> I am sorry, I REALLY appreciate your patience.
| |
| 16:30 | I have logged on now and went through the graphics files found the file and have changed it, but it says read only
| |
| 16:30 | <alkisg> Did you use gksudo in front?
| |
| 16:30 | <sammymax33> so I can not save it
| |
| 16:31 | How can I use the gksudo, when I am accessing it graphically via the file system?
| |
| 16:31 | <alkisg> Don't access it from the file system :)
| |
| 16:32 | Run the command I posted above
| |
| 16:33 | <sammymax33> I did and I got the error code mentioned above: open /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 16:33 | sorry: (gksudo:2475) Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

| 16:37 | <sammymax33> OK, key learning - TTy2 and Ctrl-Alt-T is not the same Terminal resource?
| |
| 16:38 | I looks good not I have changed everything all I need to do now is reboot?
| |
| 16:43 | Hyperbyte has joined IRC (Hyperbyte!jan@middelkoop.cc) | |
| 16:43 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 16:44 | <Hyperbyte> Yes?
| |
| 16:44 | Yes!
| |
| 16:51 | <sammymax33> OK, I now have a mouse that I can use to add folders and files to the desktop but should I not also have the menu bar on the left side of the desktop?
| |
| 16:52 | <alkisg> On the client?
| |
| 16:52 | <sammymax33> yes
| |
| 16:52 | II have it on the server but not the clients
| |
| 16:53 | <alkisg> Do you have a bar on the top that reads "Applications Places" etc?
| |
| 16:53 | <sammymax33> No, just a blank desktop picture
| |
| 16:53 | <alkisg> That means that unity crashed
| |
| 16:53 | Does alt+ctrl+t bring a terminal?
| |
| 16:54 | <sammymax33> not on the clients
| |
| 16:54 | <alkisg> OK you'd need to try an older session call gnome-fallback, but I don't have more time to give you step by step instructions, here's the idea:
| |
| 16:54 | !gnome-fallback
| |
| 16:54 | <ltsp_> alkisg: gnome-fallback: Unity, compiz etc are sometimes slow or buggy. To select gnome-fallback as your default session, install the gnome-session-fallback package, and put this in your lts.conf: LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback"
| |
| 16:58 | <sammymax33> Sorry newby - where would I find gnome-fallback
| |
| 17:05 | | |
| 17:16 | OK, I found a /usr/share/doc/gnome-session-fallback folder, in reading the readme file it says to see the INSTALL file but there is no install file?
| |
| 17:18 | <alkisg> "To select gnome-fallback as your default session, install the gnome-session-fallback package"
| |
| 17:18 | <sammymax33> | |
| 17:18 | <alkisg> So you first need to google for "how do I install a package in ubuntu?"
| |
| 17:21 | <sammymax33> Thank you for your helps, it is grealy appreciated.

| 17:40 | * alkisg files a bug about debian's LTSP not working on Ubuntu then :P | |
| 17:40 | <alkisg> vagrantc: ship an update-kernels.conf for Ubuntu
| |
| 17:40 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
| 17:40 | <alkisg> debian/rules etc etc
| |
| 17:40 | <vagrantc> alkisg: ah, shipping a different one for ubuntu, yeah ..
| |
| 17:41 | alkisg: i dropped nfs-kernel-server on ubuntu, what more could you ask for? :P
| |
| 17:41 | <alkisg> vagrantc: also, I'd really prefer it if we removed all menu-ing support from update-kernels, and put all of it in ltsp-update-kernels...
| |
| 17:41 | <vagrantc> alkisg: could probably just sed it from debian/rules ...
| |
| 17:41 | alkisg: hm.
| |
| 17:41 | alkisg: it was cheap to add, and paved the
| |
| 17:41 | way
| |
| 17:42 | <alkisg> ...and finally, why not generate a single default file, without the ltsp-$BOOT_METHOD ones?
| |
| 17:42 | I can put some work on those today, if you agree...
| |
| 17:42 | But if that was the last release for whezzy, I'll pass :)
| |
| 17:42 | Wheezy
| |
| 17:46 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i split out the separate files to make it easier to parse ... that way you don't have to parse the commandline options, you can just grab ltsp-*NFS or ltsp-*NBD appropriately
| |
| 17:46 | <alkisg> vagrantc: we'll parse the LABEL anyway
| |
| 17:47 | ...and only include the server supported methods, and the unknown ones (compatibility with older ltsp)
| |
| 17:47 | <vagrantc> alkisg: but you can grab it wholesale and append easier than parsing it and acting conditionally
| |
| 17:47 | <alkisg> vagrantc: grabbing won't work
| |
| 17:47 | It'll just add overhead to parse multiple files
| |
| 17:47 | <vagrantc> alkisg: originally, i did it that way for the easy selection of includes ...
| |
| 17:48 | but then we decided to drop the include functionality
| |
| 17:48 | <alkisg> We'll need to parse the labels for compatibility with older version, for selecting boot methods, for sorting them, to add ifcpu64 support, etc etc
| |
| 17:48 | So parsing multiple files will only make it more complicated
| |
| 17:49 | Also I think that, ifcpu64, menu etc all should be handled by the server
| |
| 17:49 | (ltsp-update-kernels)
| |
| 17:49 | I think I can strip down update-kernels today, and do ltsp-update-kernels tomorrow
| |
| 17:50 | But of course only if you agree it's a good plan
| |
| 17:50 | update-kernels would put all the entries in default, but would only be able to boot the first one
| |
| 17:50 | ltsp-update-kernels would merge all chroots, allow for pxe menus, etc etc
| |
| 17:50 | ...put ifcpu64 support...
| |
| 17:50 | pxelinux.0...
| |
| 17:51 | (since a master pxelinux.0 would be used anyways)
| |
| 17:51 | No need to even have syslinux in the chroot, if one doesn't put TFTP=CHROOT?boot
| |
| 17:51 | <vagrantc> alkisg: sure, it would be trivial to put them all back into one file
| |
| 17:51 | alkisg: i think having all the syslinux bits in there would be good
| |
| 17:51 | <alkisg> We'll need the LABELS to be more easily parseable though
| |
| 17:52 | <vagrantc> alkisg: that way you don't have to install them on the server, cross-architecture issues, etc.
| |
| 17:52 | <alkisg> ltsp_$BOOT_METHOD_$PAEetc_$kernel
| |
| 17:52 | vagrantc: so in which pxelinux.0 would the dhcp point to?
| |
| 17:53 | TFTP/pxelinux.0 or TFTP/ltsp/chroot/pxelinux.0?
| |
| 17:53 | <vagrantc> alkisg: whichever you wanted
| |
| 17:53 | <alkisg> For pxelinux.0, I'd say, use a master one
| |
| 17:53 | Since it's x86 only
| |
| 17:53 | <vagrantc> sure, but it's cheap to make it possible to not require the ltsp-update-kernels master one
| |
| 17:54 | since it already works that way
| |
| 17:54 | <alkisg> For other arches like yaboot or arm etc I'd put in the DHCP their mac and point them to TFTP/ltsp/chroot/yaboot*
| |
| 17:54 | OK, do you also want the client-side menus, or could they be moved server-side only?
| |
| 17:57 | If LABEL contains ltsp_$BOOT_METHOD_$PAE_$version, it's easy for ltsp-update-kernels to sort them and/or use ifcpu64 and/or create submenus etc, even for multiple chroots
| |
| 17:58 | But I'm not sure if it's worth it to do that twice, both on the client and the server
| |
| 17:59 | <vagrantc> alkisg: it would also be good to generate an unversioned one, so that the admin can set a sane default
| |
| 18:01 | <alkisg> The sysadmin would set the preferred ordering in /etc/ltsp/ltsp-update-kernels.conf (LIST_CHROOTS, BOOT_METHODS, $PAE etc),
| |
| 18:01 | and if he didn't want the one on top to be the default, he could use prefix label matching, I already have code for that in ltsp-pnp
| |
| 18:01 | <vagrantc> prefix or suffix?
| |
| 18:02 | i.e. 486 vs. 686 ?
| |
| 18:02 | <alkisg> E.g. DEFAULT=ltsp_i386_nfs_686
| |
| 18:02 | (there's the chroot name there too)
| |
| 18:02 | <vagrantc> ok.
| |
| 18:04 | <alkisg> ...you still want client-side menus, right? :)
| |
| 18:05 | We could make "update-pxe-menu" a separate script, easily copy-able in a chroot, without ltsp-server installed... if it helps
| |
| 18:05 | <vagrantc> honestly, i'm not attached, it just seemed like the code i could write most easily that could do what i wanted
| |
| 18:06 | <sammymax33> WHAHOOO!
| |
| 18:06 | <alkisg> I was trying to read update-kernels and I thought it was too long and complicated... and since ltsp-update-kernels will be a bit complicated to handle the pxe menus, I'd prefer not to do similar things from 2 scripts
| |
| 18:08 | The chroot could even just generate a .csv file with the kernels and the boot methods for all that ltsp-update-kernels cares
| |
| 18:08 | <sammymax33> success! THANK you alkisg! everything is working now.
| |
| 18:08 | <alkisg> sammymax33: with gnome-fallback?
| |
| 18:09 | vagrantc: the rest is just about maintaining compatibility, and helping people that want TFTP=CHROOT/boot
| |
| 18:09 | Even yaboot.conf could be generated from the server
| |
| 18:09 | <sammymax33> yes... when I tried to install gnome-fallback it said it was already loaded, but when I logs on I just hit the icon in upper right hand corner and forced it to use gnome and BINGO! everything worked fine...thanks again.
| |
| 18:10 | <alkisg> Cool, if you put it in lts.conf you won't have to do that for every user first time they login
| |
| 18:11 | <sammymax33> I did this and the clients had a error... one moment and I will reboot and tell you what it said.
| |
| 18:11 | <alkisg> sammymax33: gksudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf, and put those inside it:
| |
| 18:11 | [Default]
| |
| 18:12 | LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=fallback"
| |
| 18:12 | Sorry, wrong line, this is the correct one:
| |
| 18:12 | LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback"
| |
| 18:12 | I.e. lts.conf needs to have 2 lines inside it
| |
| 18:13 | Anyway, vagrantc I'll try to propose a packaging diff first, which is what's more pressing for the workshop...
| |
| 18:30 | <sammymax33> OK, not sure what happened but the lts.conf file is appears to be blank.? But my system is still working?
| |
| 18:48 | <alkisg> You need to create it

| |
| 23:58 | #LIST_KERNELS_DEFAULT="486-custom 686-custom"
| |
| 23:58 | <vagrantc> alkisg: how to override the ltsp-NFS/ltsp-NBD default kernel
| |
| 23:59 | alkisg: LIST_KERNELS="$LIST_KERNELS_DEAULT $LIST_KERNELS_32 *"
| |
| 23:59 | is basically how it's called
| |
| 23:59 | <alkisg> Ah, and the -custom suffix is to point out a user-built kernel?
