| 06:01 | <alkisg> eu^cpe-66-68-86-: why do you need the nvidia driver on the server, instead of nouveau? Is it a home server that you play games on it?
| |
| 06:02 | eu^cpe-66-68-86-: that said, linux allows installing any number of drivers, and the correct one will be selected on boot, so there's no need to do anything, except maybe rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf at boot

| 20:30 | <Helenah> alkisg, I'm trying to symlink a file to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-net.rules but on the clients that file is blank.
| |
| 20:32 | What I'm trying to achieve is I want the network interface on the thin clients to be eth0 because polybar (status bar) only seems to allow me to specify an interface name.
| |
| 20:32 | <alkisg> Helenah: see KERNEL_PARAMETERS
| |
| 20:33 | <Helenah> Oh nice
| |
| 20:34 | <alkisg> KERNEL_PARAMETERS="net.ifnames=1"
| |
| 20:34 | and `ltsp ipxe`
| |
| 20:34 | Put that under [common]though
| |
| 20:34 | not under [clients]
| |
| 20:34 | <Helenah> Yeah, just found that out
| |
| 20:35 | Okay thanks
| |
| 20:49 | alkisg, It works, thank you!
| |
| 20:52 | alkisg, I never knew it was a kernel parameter and I couldn't find that when I researched and resorted to a udev rule but yes that's a better way of doing it! :)
| |
| 20:57 | <alkisg> Helenah: it's a good idea for an ltsp wiki page
| |
| 20:57 | So that then we can just write !net_ifnames,and point people here there
| |
| 20:58 | <Helenah> alkisg, Yes, agreed
| |
| 21:21 | ricotz has left IRC (ricotz!~ricotz@ubuntu/member/ricotz, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 21:46 | <Helenah> alkisg, There are common screnarios where lets say an academic institute already has a storage server set up for user storage and common storage and would like for that to be mounted on the clients, I figured that out myself there is FSTAB_X, I'm just in the process of securely storing credentials. lol
| |
| 21:48 | It seems with /etc/fstab you've either got the option of specifying the plain text credentials in here or you can store them into a flat file. lol
| |
| 21:49 | I'm contemplating making the credentials files only root accessible.
| |
| 21:49 | But maybe there is a better way of doing this.
