Good morning alkisg. :-) I'm still having issues with the new LTSP on Ubuntu 20.04 that do seem to be LTSP related. The user reported error is "sound is not working".
08:52
When looking into it, I found out pulseaudio is not started, when I try to start it using systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service, I get the following error: "Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1"
08:53
<fiesh>
maybe do a journalctl -xe to see what's up
08:53
or a systemctl status pulseaudio
08:53
the message alone doesn't say much
08:53
<Hyperbyte>
In fact, when I try to execute any systemctl --user command, it spits out that error. It doesn't always happen, maybe 50/50 chance. I've also noticed that when it happens, /run/user/ folder is empty
08:53
<alkisg>
Morning guys. Additionally, try with a live cd and see if sound works there
08:53
Ah
08:53
If /run/user/ is empty, that's a serious problem
08:53
Do you have customized PAM?
08:54
<Hyperbyte>
Not as far as I know? Could be LDAP related maybe?
08:54
<alkisg>
How did you configure LDAP on the clients?
08:54
(yeah that's the customized PAM that I was asking for)
08:55
<Hyperbyte>
I configured it on the server. /etc/ldap.conf
08:55
<alkisg>
And then? Chrootless?
08:55
<Hyperbyte>
The new LTSP setup you recommended, chrootless
08:55
<alkisg>
Than means that you have configured ldap on the clients as well, as it is a clone of the server
08:56
<Hyperbyte>
ltsp 21.01
08:56
<alkisg>
Now, I would expect to see the sound problem on the server itself as well
08:56
<Hyperbyte>
I don't think sound is the actual problem. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.
08:56
<alkisg>
The actual problem is /run/user not being mounted after a user has logged in
08:56
<Hyperbyte>
It seems that nothing systemd related in userspace is started. systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service results in the same error
08:56
Right
08:57
<alkisg>
systemd-pam should have ensured that it's always there
08:57
That means that you manually changed /etc/pam.d to add ldap, and you did something wrong, that introduced a race condition, unrelated to ltsp
08:58
<Hyperbyte>
Could be. This is a 16.04 install upgraded all the way to 20.04, so I don't recall exactly what's happened to the pam config :-)
08:58
I've been considering ditching LDAP. Maybe this is the time... probably easiest solution.
08:59
We used to share accounts between 4 servers, now LTSP is actually the only thing using LDAP still as the other 3 servers have moved to different account management.
08:59

08:59
This ^ link describes a very easy way to setup SSSD, which is an LDAP client, without manually messing with PAM
08:59
PAM is supposed to be handled by packages, not by the user. By update-pam-auth etc.
09:00
<Hyperbyte>
I agree. I remember I tried sssd but had some problems with it that I couldn't resolve.
09:00
I think I'm just going to ditch LDAP and reset the entire pam config
09:01
<alkisg>
I haven't tried SSSD in the distant past, but last year that I did, it was super smooth and automatic
09:01
apt install + a tiny config => ready
09:01
It even supports caching out of the box, for the case where ldap gets rebooted
09:02
<sebd_>
alkisg: Debian removed support for PRINTER_LIST in cups on Fri, 14 Dec 2018 (cups 2.2.10-3) because the patch was refused for upstream integration
09:02
<Hyperbyte>
Yeah, I'm sure it's good. It worked beautifully on Fedora. On Ubuntu I had some problems where it didn't like my server. I think at this point easiest is to just ditch LDAP. Frees up some VM resources as well.
09:02
<alkisg>
sebd_: yeah, I can't say I liked ltsp-specific patches in ltsp5, so I haven't used them at all in ltsp20+
09:03
<Hyperbyte>
Anyway, thanks for helping me trace this down. :-)
09:03
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: sure; note though that in this case, when you add user accounts, you'll need to reboot the clients
09:03
While no reboot is needed for password changes or account removals
09:03
np
09:04
sebd_, I even filed bugs in isc-dhcp and in cups to remove the ltsp-specific patches :)
09:09
<sebd_>
alkisg: we are trying to empty printers.conf and generate cups-browsed.conf and lpoptions at client boot now
09:09
<alkisg>
sebd_, cups has its own settings and methods to set default printers; did you read about them?
09:10
<sebd_>
cups-browsed.conf has BrowseFilter, which can be used to mask the server's printer queues on their names, that's what we are attempting to use
09:11
and lpoptions can contain Default NameOfTheDefautPrinterQueue

Hi. I install Ubuntu desktop 20.04 in a Proxmox enviroment, so when I install dnsmasq service in the ubuntu, it say that the 53 port is in use by this process
17:00
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* ESCUCHAR - apagado (0.00/0/0)

17:00
udp6 0 0 :::5353 :::* - apagado (0.00/0/0)
17:01
Can I configure the dnsmasq service to use another port?
17:01
<mwalters>
Why would you want to?
17:02
Oh, you don't have dnsmasq installed and something else is using the port
17:02
are you installing ltsp?
17:03
<alequint8912>
yes I run the command
17:03
apt install --install-recommends ltsp ltsp-binaries dnsmasq nfs-kernel-server openssh-server squashfs-tools ethtool net-tools epoptes
17:03
but dnsmasq fails because port 53 is in use
17:04
<mwalters>
a quick google shows that it might be systemd-resolved
17:05
<alequint8912>
Yes it is. I don't have much experience in linux but I couldn't stop that service. What I can do?
17:07
<mwalters>
I'm going to refrain from giving suggestions... I don't know what could happen if you put that service on a different port. Either wait for someone else, or maybe ask in #ubuntu
17:07
<alequint8912>
ok thanks
17:08vagrantc has joined IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@unaffiliated/vagrantc)
18:11
<alkisg>
alequint8912: just run the next step, `ltsp dnsmasq` and it will solve the problem
18:12
In a default debian or ubuntu installation, dnsmasq conflicts with systemd-resolved; then ltsp steps in with a configuration file and solves the problem
18:14
<mwalters>
"The process failed successfully" ;)
18:21
<alequint8912>
alkisg thanks you very much, the service is up

alkisg If I build the image on another pc, could I use that image in this new installation?
18:30
<alkisg>
Sure
18:32
<alequint8912>
good, ok thanks
20:44
<Hyperbyte>
Oh alkisg, just FYI. when I rebuild the ltsp image, I get an error about not being able to delete /tmp/tmp.OgPViFMrY7/tmpfs/, folder not empty.
20:45
It leaves a folder '0' with looproot, up, work in it. No actual files.
20:56
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: it doesn't affect any other ltsp users, so if it's just "FYI", np; if you need to resolve it, I'll need more details about your setup

<alkisg>
Especially, if it happens after reboot, and what your mounts are

23:00
<Hyperbyte>
Doesn't bother me, but if you want to debug for me or possibly others then I've sent you a PM with the mounts. It does happen consistently after reboots.
23:01
But it's just an error and it leaves some errant empty folders in /tmp, so definitely nothing I worry about.
23:01
