<gdi2k>
greetings! I'm successfully using LTSP for about 10 thin clients and things are good. But I'm getting a bit worried about the server failing and leaving all my clients dead. Is there a relatively simple way of adding a second server? I've looked at ltsp-cluster and it's complete overkill for me - looking for something for just a couple of servers, some way to share home directories, user accounts and installed packages
03:32
also not clear on how the clients would choose which server to log into - I thought I saw some info about LDM being able to load balance in some way but can't find it any more
03:36
<unkmar>
gdi2k: I saw that as well.
03:41
<gdi2k>
I've found a presentation that mentions it and there is a spec for it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LDMLoadbalancingSupport but the link to the implementation is dead

<alkisg>
gdi2k: the easiest way is to have a raid array in server1, so (1) if a disk fails, you can replace it without data loss, and (2) if the server1 hardware fails, you can move the disks to a server2 machine and have the thin clients up and running in a couple of minutes
04:00sha_ has left IRC (sha_!~sha@e177159215.adsl.alicedsl.de, Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
04:00
<alkisg>
server2 may even be a simple desktop machine, used as a thin client until it's needed as a server...
04:01
<gdi2k>
alkisg: thanks, that's a neat idea. I could even use an external SATA enclosure that would be easy to shift to a second machine...

<Joanet>
hi all
08:11
I've installed Edubuntu 12.04 + LTSP and I'm trying to use webcams on thin clients
08:12
Edubuntu is x64 version
08:12
webcam on the server works fine using cheese (and using lsusb is shown)
08:12
but on the thin client it is not listed using lsusb
08:13
can someone help me giving me any doc about it?
08:15
<highvoltage>
Joanet: hey
08:16
Joanet: I'm about to head off into a meeting, but you might want to look into local apps and install cheese as a local app
08:16naboo has left IRC (naboo!~naboo__@afln73.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl, Remote host closed the connection)
08:16
<highvoltage>
(might be able to give some more input there if you're still around in ~3 hours)
08:16
<Joanet>
thanks highvoltage! I'll give a try
08:16alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg)
08:18
<elias_a>
Second that. You want to run Cheese or some other piece of sw as local app.
08:19
How would you list the webcams as devices locally otherwise? :D
08:20
<dimmah1>
Hi. I can't print on HP P1102 on LTSP (Ubuntu 12.04) connected to the client.
08:20
Printer is present in lsusb list, but nothing similar in /dev.
08:20
/dev/lp0 is present, but I don't it's my printer. Cause 1. on server printer is /dev/usb/lp0, 2. on client /dev/lp0 is present even when i booted without printer
08:21
* but I don't think it's my printer.
08:21
<alkisg>
dimmah1: do you have access to the local client console?
08:21
E.g. with localapps, or with local root login, or with SCREEN_02=shell?
08:22
<dimmah1>
yes, with localapps
08:23ogra_ has left IRC (ogra_!~ogra_@p5098ed03.dip0.t-ipconnect.de, Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
08:23
<alkisg>
And you say that lsusb there doesn't list the printer?
08:23ogra_ has joined IRC (ogra_!~ogra_@p5098ed03.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
08:23
<alkisg>
Ah sorry you said it's there in lsusb
08:23
<dimmah1>
yes
08:24
<alkisg>
Try this: udevadm monitor
08:24
Then remove the printer, then plug it again
08:24
and check to see if the device nodes are created
08:25
<dimmah1>
on client or on server?
08:26
<alkisg>
Locally on the client
08:26
It's best if you have root on the client, using for example:
08:26
!screen_02
08:26
<ltsp>
screen_02: To get a root shell on an Ubuntu thin client: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using_a_shell_SCREEN
08:26
<alkisg>
But localxterm should be ok too, for udevadm monitor...
08:26
<dimmah1>
command not found
08:26
<alkisg>
!localxterm
08:26
<ltsp>
localxterm: Any applications that you launch on a thin client actually runs on the server, not on the client itself. If you want to open a program on the client locally, you can type 'ltsp-localapps <program>' in a run dialog or in a terminal. For example, 'ltsp-localapps xterm' to open a terminal running on the client.
08:26
<alkisg>
Try /sbin/udevadm monitor
08:26
Maybe sbin isn't in your path
08:28
<Hyperbyte>
I usually demolish everything in my path.
08:29
<dimmah1>
/sbin/udevadm monitor shows:
08:29
monitor will print the received events for:
08:29
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
08:29
KERNEL - the kernel uevent
08:29
and looks like hung up
08:31
<elias_a>
Joanet: I do not speak spanish.

08:55
and then paste the udevadm monitor output

lifeboy: what's the version of your ltsp-server? dpkg -l ltsp-server
08:56
<lifeboy>
alkisg: 5.3.7-0ubuntu2.5
08:57
<dimmah1>
oh, thanks, It gave me a lot of info
08:58
but what does it means? :)
08:58
<lifeboy>
I followed the example at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP, except that I don't want to use dnsmasq as proxy, but authoritive
08:58
All seems well, but addresses are just not being served
08:59
<alkisg>
dimmah1: put the output to pastebin, pastebin.com
09:04
lifeboy: ltsp-config isn't available in ubuntu 12.04
09:04
(unless you're using the greek schools ppa)
09:04
Paste your config, and the output of `tail -F /var/log/syslog` when you're booting a client,
09:05
but, if you want an authoritative dhcp, I'd suggest you use isc-dhcp instead of dnsmasq
09:05
dnsmasq isn't very good as a dhcp server, it doesn't support parallel lease requests
09:06
<lifeboy>
alkisg: Hmm... :-( I just can't get dnsmasq configured to serve addresses. I can't use isc-dhcp since it refused to give my clients addresses since they don't seem to be having at least 1 char client id's
09:06
Alkisg: There is nothing in the log when I try to boot a client
09:07
<dimmah1>
here it is http://pastebin.com/fVS1S1ii
09:08
<alkisg>
lifeboy: pastebin the output of this: egrep -rv '^#|^$' /etc/dnsmasq*
09:08
<Joanet>
Hi again. I've installed cheese as local app but, after client restart, I do ltsp-localapps cheese and it do anything
09:09
<alkisg>
dimmah1: sr1 is a CDROM, did you plug the printer at that time, or inserted a CD?
09:09
Joanet: did you run ltsp-update-image?
09:09
<Joanet>
yes
09:09
<dimmah1>
HP 1102 is the printer with cd-rom emulator
09:10
<lifeboy>
alkisg: http://pastebin.com/YSgGUwJG
09:10
<Joanet>
alkisg : yes, i did including -a i386
09:10
<alkisg>
Joanet: run: ltsp-localapps xterm
09:10
And inside that, then run cheese
09:11
lifeboy: err would you care for a reverse vnc connection in order to troubleshoot that faster? I.e. screen sharing, we'll both be seeing your screen...
09:12
<lifeboy>
sure
09:12
<alkisg>
sudo apt-get install x11vnc; x11vnc -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
09:12
<lifeboy>
I connect to that server with nx-client... Do you know off-hand if I can share that too?
09:13
<alkisg>
Yes, but you might need -noshm in the x11vnc command line
09:13
x11vnc -noshm -connect alkisg.dyndns.org

alkisg : xterm works using localapps, and if I launch lsusb it recognize the webcam, but when I try to launch Cheese I got this : Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel
09:21
<alkisg>
Joanet: instead of cheese, run: gstreamer-properties, and test your cam from there
09:21
<Joanet>
alkisg : ok, i'll try
09:22
<alkisg>
dimmah1: I don't know what "with a cd-rom emulator" means, for a printer, but there's no printer device recognized there
09:22
<dimmah1>
alkisg: is it looks like only scsi-cdrom has been connected? Sometimes it's happens with hp 1102. But if i plug it to the server everything's fine.
09:22
<alkisg>
dimmah1: what's the output of udevadm monitor, if you do that on the server?
09:22
Maybe you're missing some hp* packages in the chroot?
09:23
$ dpkg -l 'hp*' | grep ^ii
09:23
...compare the output of that, in your server vs your chroot
09:25
<dimmah1>
after i turned off printer:
09:25
KERNEL[876405.832533] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/0:21 (bdi)
09:25
UDEV [876405.835744] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/0:21 (bdi)
09:25
after turn on:
09:25
KERNEL[876486.763290] add /devices/virtual/bdi/0:21 (bdi)
09:25
UDEV [876486.765444] add /devices/virtual/bdi/0:21 (bdi)
09:25
<alkisg>
Unplug, don't just turn it off
09:27
<lifeboy>
alkisg: I think you are connected, right?
09:27
<dimmah1>
alkisg: OK
09:28
<alkisg>
lifeboy: yup, let's go
09:30
<dimmah1>
alkisg: dpkg -l 'hp*' | grep ^ii
09:30
gives me differt results. On server hplip & hpdata. On client hplip-cups & hpdata.
09:31
should I remove hplip-cups and install hplip on clint?
09:34
<Hyperbyte>
Psst... have you added your LTSP implementations yet to the world map? http://www.ltsp.org/stories/
09:36
<alkisg>
dimmah1: at least install hplip in the chroot...
09:36
<dimmah1>
alkisg: as you said, I unplug and then plug

Joanet, do not send private messages to people in this channel without permission. What you are doing is considered spamming on Freenode.
10:13

I note that the devices are detected in the client terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1), using the command fdisk-l. But in the graphical environment (Ctrl + Alt + F7), open the terminal, I can not see the devices using this same command.
12:10
HD external multifunction (there are several).

By default your terminal in GUI is runned in server, not in client. That's makes a difference there.

I have ltspfs installed in a server. ltspfsd not.

12:24
<alkisg>
ltspuser_01: errr you followed ltsp-pnp, and yet you're using a chroot?
12:25
That shouldn't be the case... ltsp-pnp basically means "don't use a chroot"
12:26
...and actually you have 2 chroots...
12:26
OK, first step, decide on what you want to do. How many chroots? 0, 1, or 2?
12:27
<ltspuser_01>
No. What is that saying quiz using ltsp-pnp all functional. But I noticed that the size of the image created is much larger than in the default installation. This probably. Prevent many customers carry the system out of memory. Then reinstalled everything from scratch without following ltsp-pnp
12:28
2 chroot (1-32 bits and 2 64 bits)
12:29
<alkisg>
ltsp-pnp does generate a big image because it can be used for fat clients too, but that doesn't have any bad effect on client memory, e.g. an 128 mb client may boot from a 5 Gb image without problems
12:29
Why have 2 images just for thin clients?
12:29
What's wrong with using only the 32bits pae one?
12:29
<ltspuser_01>
Do not use chroot as I understand it creates a complete picture of the entire system. This would not work on clients with low memory. Correct?
12:30
<alkisg>
No, not correct
12:30
Can you boot a client with 128 mb ram, if it has a 500 Gb hard disk?
12:30
Sure
12:30
The hard disk size is not related to memory issues
12:30
The ltsp network disk is not loaded in ram
12:31
Its "sectors" are accessed whenever the clients need them, one by one
12:31
Second question: do you only have thin clients, or are you planning to have localapps and fat clients too?
12:31
<ltspuser_01>
Because customers have 32 and 64 bits. Define the dhcpd.conf which the image will load each client.
12:32
<alkisg>
Why? An 64bit thin client can run just as fast using a 32bit ltsp image
12:32
So why have the overhead of maintaining 2 images?
12:33
<ltspuser_01>
I thought that by doing so, customers would have more 32-bit performance. But nothing prevents use only 1 chrrot.
12:33
<alkisg>
Second question: do you only have thin clients, or are you planning to have localapps and fat clients too?
12:37
<ltspuser_01>
I only have thin clients. Not pretend to have Fat Clients. Local APPS (still not sure, can occur).
12:38
<alkisg>
OK, so, I think you should NOT be using ltsp-pnp, and that you should only have one i386 chroot
12:38
Now, are you trying with the amd64 chroot or with the i386 one?
12:38
<ltspuser_01>
Okay, I can work with only one image. I will change it here.

I know it is not usual, but it would be too much to ask ssh access for a closer look? This server is still in the testing phase, so would have no problems for me. There are already three weeks of research and not advancing.
12:48
<alkisg>
Get a local root shell on the client, and run `udevadm monitor` there, and then insert the usb device
12:48

My client now no longer rises (rs). I will restart the server to see if it resolves. This will cause me to fall in chat (I'm posting server). This brings me back to restart .. Thank you!
13:12
<sfrique>
meamy, so it is a know issue? i can't use it wel? the problem is that my local client will not be able to run firefox wel enough.
13:12
<ltspuser_05>
By now, home is mount via ssh to ltsp server, then the cifs'share is mount. Problem : it's ok, but the mount is on the server and not on the client. I've used /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml to do that.
13:13

13:14

and localy it runs ok?

sfrique, it's not a known "issue". It's logical. A thin client runs all it's software on the server. If you're going to play a HD video over the network and you expect it to run flawlessly, you'll need more than 100mbit

Hyperbyte, that is my question, if i have more bandwith it run flawlessly ?
13:15
<Hyperbyte>
I have gigabit here and YouTube plays fine, as long as I don't go full screen. We have 1920xx1080 screens here, so playing a fullscreen video in realtime over network would eat incredibly much bandwidth.
13:16
<sfrique>
Hyperbyte, thanks i was thinking of it, but having all thinclient gigabit ethernet would not be so easy
13:16
<Hyperbyte>
sfrique, you'll have to calculate. :) Bandwidth used for one frame, times the amount of frames per second, is bandwith used.
13:16
<sfrique>
it might be simple try to go with local apps even eith crapy hardware..
13:16
<Hyperbyte>
sfrique, well, here's some ideas.
13:17
If it's only about YouTube, you could install a local YouTube player on the clients. Then you search videos via that player, and not via www.youtube.com.
13:17
<sfrique>
also cross our minds, but problem would be the users..

You could also install a plugin in Firefox which makes YouTube support X video (this writes the video frames directly to the X buffer, removing -a lot- of network overhead)
13:18
<sfrique>
there is this plugin?!?!?
13:18
let me look for it
13:18
Hyperbyte, do you know such plugin?
13:19
<Hyperbyte>
You could also run Firefox as localapp, eliminating any network issues alltogether, but this requires beefy machines, as Firefox is a resource hog. Alternative might be using a different browser.
13:20
<sfrique>
Hyperbyte, i guess best choise here it to see if the plugin you talk about work, if not, g oto local youtube player.. if dont work also, go to localapp... guess this will be my plan!
13:20
thanks for the help.
13:21
<Hyperbyte>
sfrique, http://www.youtube.com/html5 <- start there
13:21
Whatever you're going to do with Firefox plugins, has to eliminate flash.
13:22
Since YouTube supports HTML5, this would be your way to go.
13:22
<sfrique>
i just wanted to know if watch you tube is as hard as i am experience
13:22
i had tried html5, still uses lots of bandwith
13:23
<alkisg>
!flash
13:23
<ltsp>
flash: Yes, flash sucks. Make sure you have LDM_DIRECTX=True in your lts.conf file, or if it's just youtube you're after, try some flash replacing plugin like https://addons.mozilla.org/el/firefox/addon/161869/ (per user installation, gecko-mediaplayer is also needed).
13:23
<sfrique>
from my tests, with 300mbs am able to watch youtube video on full screen with 1280x960, still litle floppy but better than nothing
13:23
<alkisg>
That one uses xvideo, so it's possible to watch youtube fullscreen even on 100 mbps
13:23

13:24
<sfrique>
alkisg, i guess it would not be a problem
13:24
<alkisg>
Youtube HD fullscreen needs 2 gbps
13:25
So it's not doable with gigabit ethernet even for a single client, without dropped frames...

alkisg, the addon doesnt exist

Hmm too bad it was a nice one... this threads proposes a replacement: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2050737

alkisg, already had Direct x true
13:27

1920×1080×4×30 = 248832000, i.e. 2.5 gbps, you won't be able to watch full screen HD video that way even over gigabit lan

With HTML5, I can watch fullscreen video without problems

Maybe Firefox's HTML5 player is compatible with xvideo now out of the box?
13:37
Hrm, with another video it stutters again... whatever...

Who needs YouTube, anyways.
13:39
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: I don't think firefox is using xvideo for html5 playback... it'd be very nice if it did though
13:39
Also, (last tested a year ago), firefox cpu usage was very high for html5 videos
13:40
E.g. 90% for html 5 video, 5% for gecko-mediaplayer plugin

(of course that depends on cpu, note only the ratio there...)

This may not quite be LTSP, probably routing, but: I upgraded an LTSP Server from Ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04 and replaced isc-dns-server with dnsmasq. I had firestarter installed and removed it, since I didn't really need it. I think firestarter was handling the routing, since the clients cannot "see" past the server interfaces now. I do have "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf though. What am I missing?

I used the command udevadm monitor and stick the usb device, note the device is usually added. The same happens when I remove the USB device, it removes it.
14:52
In the shell, I observe that the devices are recognized. The problem is grávica client interface. It's like he's showing only devices the server and not the client.
14:53
<vagrantc>
that's normal
14:53
on a thin client, you're logged into the server.
14:54
it only sees devices on the server
14:54
using ltspfs, it will mount devices in the server's /media/<username>/<devicename>
14:54
<ltspuser_08>
If the devices are seen by the shell of the client, the problem seems to be with the ltspfsd, which is responsible for mounting it.

15:02
<ltspuser_08>
It is usually recognized on a Ubuntu installation location (outside the ltsp).
15:03
Has more than one. A fat 32 and ext4 another.
15:03
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: have you fsck'ed the filesystems recently?
15:04
sometimes filesystems will fail to mount without an fsck
15:04
<ltspuser_08>
But see, following the guide pnp, he was recognized by the client usually ltsp. But using chroot it does not recognize. The same happened with a multifunction HP.
15:05
no, I did not. I can do it.
15:06
but this would not explain for example the fact of not recognizing other devices such as multifunctional.
15:09
On this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev there are a number of tests to try to detect the problem. Passed all except the last test. I have typed the wrong command, although not believe it.
15:10
<vagrantc>
multifunction printers won't be recognized
15:10
it will only work with filesystems
15:11
<ltspuser_08>
Oops! I forgot. The third step is not the case here. There is created the file / var / run / ltspfs_fstab.
15:11
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: and does it contain devices?
15:12
ltspuser_08: tail -F /var/run/ltspfs_fstab
15:12
ltspuser_08: and then plug in a device
15:12
<ltspuser_08>
In a client?
15:13
In the shell of the client?
15:13
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: yes
15:14
<ltspuser_08>
The file does not exist.
15:15
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: what did you mean when you said "There is created the file / var / run / ltspfs_fstab." ?
15:15
<ltspuser_08>
With names are coming: ltspfsd.pid, ltspfs_token and ltsp-xorg.conf
15:16
This file does not exist in / var / run (not listed with ls-la).
15:16
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: also, what distro and version is this?
15:16
ltspuser_08: ok, then it's not being recognized by ltspfs
15:17
ltspuser_08: er, not recognized by udev
15:17
<ltspuser_08>
Ubuntu 13.04. But I've also tried with Ubuntu 12.04 It's the same.
15:19
but the shell of the client through the command udevadm monitor, see the device being added.
15:20
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: USB device?
15:20
<ltspuser_08>
Yes!

I ask this because I have read many articles and installation there should be no difficulties in the functioning of local devices. All describe this without more details to configure. I feel that may be something with the distribution.

<ltspuser_08>
false
16:02
ops.
16:02
1 minute.
16:03
an evolution here.
16:05
I had specified the line LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS = false as LOCAL_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS. When you asked to test the shell noticed the error. Fix and rebooted. Now in / media / user, the device appears (although not created icon on your desktop).
16:07
<vagrantc>
the desktop icon is highly dependent on desktop
16:07
worked with gnome2, no idea with gnome3 ... no other desktops really supported it
16:08
that i know of
16:08
ltspuser_08: so if LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS=false fixed it ... there's something wrong with the detection of USB bus...
16:09
<ltspuser_08>
Just to see if I understood. He is treating this drive as an internal disk?
16:09
<vagrantc>
yes, some external hard drive cages do not mark a device as removable
16:10
and by default, ltspfs ignores devices that aren't removable.
16:10
but it should also check if it's on a USB bus, at which point, we assume it's removable...
16:10
so the USB bus check doesn't sound like it's working
16:10
<ltspuser_08>
is how I fix this? tested now with a pen-drive and it's the same.
16:11
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: what's the same?
16:12
<ltspuser_08>
Before it was not mounted on / media / user /. Now with this parameter lts.conf recognizes, but does not go to the desktop. Anyway, still working, ie, since I consider this problem solved.
16:12
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: you won't get a desktop icon
16:12
ltspuser_08: unless you use a desktop that suppotrs it
16:16
<ltspuser_08>
Ok, got it. Friend, you solved a problem that is mistreating me for three weeks. Do not have words to thank you. Now I just need to fix the sound of skype (rs). The audio on the client usually works, but not on Skype (even pointing to pulse audio). But one thing at a time, after all you should have more things to do. (rs). I will try to solve the skype and if you can not, come back here for help again. Hope you do not fill me.
16:19
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: good luck!
16:19* vagrantc wonders what (rs) is?
16:19
<ltspuser_08>
Many, many thanks for your help! I'll publish the results here in the forums Brazil.
16:20
<vagrantc>
ltspuser_08: so there is one side-effect of that issue, though
16:20
ltspuser_08: you should know
16:20
ltspuser_08: with LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS=false, if someone boots a laptop with a hard-drive in it, thin clients will access those drives
16:20
ltspuser_08: and have write access to them

17:08
<alkisg>
2 weeks down time? quite a bug...
17:08

You mean a bug on knipwim's part?
17:08
Because I think the bot is reporting it accurately.
17:09
Have you seen him?
17:09
<alkisg>
He had said that he's been overworked and needed some time out
17:10
<Hyperbyte>
Right, I got that too.
17:10
<alkisg>
Working on ltsp should be fun, above all, so let him take as much time as he needs :)
17:10

Going with the two week schedule, we should have a meeting tonight, but there wasn't a date determined in last meeting.
17:10
<alkisg>
Ah
17:11
<Hyperbyte>
So not sure what will happen. I know knipwim didn't send out an invite (not that I'm blaming him, I'm just saying...)
17:12
<alkisg>
It's easter vacations here... people stopped working, maybe we should do the same and postpone it for another 2 weeks :)
17:13

Yeah, see if knipwim turns up meanwhile. :)

Nope.

17:19
Easier than I expected it to be.
17:20
<alkisg>
Ah, I'm loopmounting the desktop.iso instead
17:20
It's much faster than downloading packages over the net...
17:20

Not as much fun though.

17:21* alkisg also has a script to create an updated .iso :D

How would I edit the cmdline for the rpi cmdline.txt file if I use nbd? what I have right now is I added "init=/sbin/init-ltsp root=nbd nbdroot=/dev/nbd0" to the beginning and deleted root= and rootfstype=...
20:17
<alkisg>
Where's vagrantc's how to for rpi? /me hasn't ever booted linux in arm, and is wondering about the boot loaders there....
20:17
<vagrantc>
root=/dev/nbd0 nbdroot=192.168.67.1:/opt/ltsp/armhf ... if i remember correctly
20:18
it's the same arguments as if you were doing NBD on x86, and having to specify the ip address from the commandline
20:18
<alkisg>
But where do you put those? There's no pxe, is there?
20:18
<kev_j>
ok, wasn't sure if I needed the address in that file... in the readme it only has instructions for nfs
20:19
you put them in the cmdline.txt file
20:19
<vagrantc>
could probably even get by with root=/dev/nbd0 boot=local nbdroot=/opt/ltsp/armhf if your DHCP server was the same as your LTSP server.
20:19
alkisg: on the SD card
20:19
alkisg: on arm, it's highly variable
20:20
i.e. raspberry pi is a little unusual in that the bootloader code is just some stuff on the sd card...
20:20
<kev_j>
I guess I couldn't really put it in the dhcpd.conf file since it doesn't pxe boot, huh?
20:20
<vagrantc>
yes, but the initramfs still makes a dhcp request
20:20
you need the kernel+initrd on the SD card, and some settings in cmdline.txt
20:20
good luck, gotta roll
