Anyone here happen to have IPcop as the DHCP server, Debian as the LTSP client, and have PXE boot working? I can't seem to get PXE boot to work
09:06
<patrickb>
genteen: i have not used IPCop as a DHCP server...so i do not know how configurable it is...but i do have a DHCP server seperate from my LTSP server
09:06
16:03 < patrickb> wrong window
09:10
<cliebow>
gentgeen:_ ipcop will let you pass a filename option?
09:15andresmujica has joined #ltsp
09:15
<gentgeen__>
cliebow, yes it does
09:15
I see the client start up, gets getway info, then I see
09:16
TFTP. . .
09:16
<cliebow>
how about next-server option?
09:16
<gentgeen__>
but nothing... then it just boots from the internal HD
09:16
yep, got that in the config also
09:17
<cliebow>
ubuntu or other?..just wonder what is assumed as part of the path to pxelinux
09:18
<gentgeen__>
I have 3 other clients that all have /tftpboot/lts/2.6.17.3-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0 in the filename area... the clients use a harddrive boot (via wizzy toms root boot disk)
09:18
Debian Testing system
09:19
all clients have the /tftpboot/lts/2.6.17.3-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0 as filename -- 192.168.74.3:/opt/ltsp/i386 as root path -- 192.168.74.3 as next-server
09:20
I am thinking I don't have PXE boot set up on the server correctly, but everything I look at says I do have it right
09:20
<cliebow>
jammcq had me manually use tftp to check that piece..i dont remember just how i did that now
09:21
<McPolo>
tftp , connect (localhost), get path/filename ?
09:26
<gentgeen__>
OK, I did "tftp connect localhost" and I have a tftp> prompt....
09:26
<McPolo>
Yep, you have to insert command separately
09:26
That's why i put commas and stuff.
09:27
tftp (enter) connect(enter) host_of_tftp (enter) get path/filename (like 2.6.17.3-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0)
09:28
That was the way the ubuntu tftp worked.
09:28moose5435 has quit IRC
09:30
<gentgeen__>
OK, that worked
09:30
I was able to get a file from within the /tftpboot/
09:30
so I can assume that TFTP (and therefore PXE) is set up right?
09:30
<McPolo>
It depends ofcourse what is the root directory of the tftp-daemon.
09:32
<gentgeen__>
should I remove it from the dhcp path?
09:32
/tftpboot/ is the root directory
09:33
sorry, the second line did not go through originally :-)
09:37
<cliebow>
gentgeen_:you should see \how tftp is initiated...what -s parameter given tftpboot to start looking for info
09:38
<gentgeen__>
cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
09:38
#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
09:38
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
09:38
OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"
09:39
with /var/lib/tftpboot being a simlink to /tftboot
09:39
correction /tftpboot

<Shane-S>
questions, on my TC I can connect to my server (which is running the most recent K12ltsp) via a crossover cable perfectly. I plug it into a typical plug and play Switch, and it gets a DHCP address, starts to boot, then after the mouse drive line I get...
11:35
Error! dhcpcd failed! <new line> Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
11:36
now I am tailing with -f /var/log/messages
11:36
and I see nothing about it, other then it gave the bootdhcp command, nothing about a failure
11:36efra has joined #ltsp
11:37
<Shane-S>
so I plugged the crossover back into the client direct to the server and it boots fine...no clue why a switch is failing, when its gets a DHCP address fine
11:37
could the server nic be broken, and a crossover makes it work, cause I tried the crossover into the switch (its auto-sensing/adjusting) and I got a link light with it and a standard cable. same error regardless
11:38
I know this switch is a good switch it was used a replacement switch when we have a v-laned switch die, we tossed this P&P switch in with a crossover and it got our users back online with touching its configurations from dell.

Hey everyone

<joebaker>
Hello
15:24
What happened to the main ltsp site. It looks like it redirects over to the wiki now when loading http://www.ltsp.org
15:24
That's not a bad thing.
15:24
<antoinog>
Does anyone know if you can run ltsp over the internet, not on a lan etc.
15:24
<joebaker>
Just different and unexpected.
15:25
antoniog: I'd use something like Nomachine.com for over the Internet work.
15:25
antoniog: They do protocol compression that makes very efficient use of bandwidth.
15:26
It's all encapsulated in ssl too.
15:27
<antoinog>
Well I was thinking of an idea where I would rent people in the same city thin clients, so with broadband it'd be ok
15:27
i just wondered does the architecture support non lan
15:27
test
15:28
test
15:28
sorry about the underline
15:29
would a thin client capable of nomachine require more than ltsp client?
15:43
<joebaker>
LTSP over the Internet... Not really. Protocols like DHCP and NFS are too transparent to be used securely. Give them a bootable KNOPPIX disk with the NoMachine client on it and have them connect to your server. NoMachine is the way to go for that sort of venture. (antoniog)

We could post something to -discuss, or the like.
16:35
<jammcq>
pscheie: most of what we did over the weekend was clean up the website. expect to see that get launched "real soon now"
16:35
<sbalneav>
:)
16:35
<pscheie>
which part, the older part or the wiki?
16:37
<jammcq>
yes
16:38
<pscheie>
Personally, I like the look of the wiki but it's sometimes harder to find things
16:38
<jammcq>
the look won't change so much
16:38Gadi has joined #ltsp
16:38
<jammcq>
just the organization of the content
16:40
<pscheie>
witness the bit about the NFS block size problem you helped me with last week
16:41
and how I was looking at one page on the wiki and you were looking at another
16:43ogra has joined #ltsp
16:44
<cliebow_>
pscheie: most of what we did was gorge ourselves on prime rib..chicken in bacon lamb sirloin
16:45
and we earned it

cliebow: earned how? Washing dishes afterward? ;-)
16:49
Gadi: I'm still trying to understand why your sound package works on my Dell laptops.
16:50
Is OSS 'old' and ALSA 'new', and your esd just bridges that somehow?
16:51
And do Pulse and gstreamer make that all immaterial once apps start using them?
16:54
<jammcq>
gadi says it works, cuz of the "mojo"
16:54
<Gadi>
heh
16:54
pscheie: basically, it comes down to this:
16:55
esd can be compiled for OSS or ALSA but not both
16:55
LTSP ships esd compiled for OSS
16:55
so, it only works with OSS drivers or OSS-emulation for ALSA drivers
16:55
my package has esd compiled against ALSA
16:56
so, it only works with the ALSA drivers
16:58
<pscheie>
jammcq: what was the file you had me look in where we found the module for my maestro3 chip was called snd-maestro3 instead of just maestro3?
16:58* jammcq wonders what would happen if LTSP supplied 2 esd binaries. one for oss, and another for alsa
17:01
<Gadi>
pscheie: all ALSA sound modules have a "snd-" prefix
17:01
OSS ones have no prefix
17:04
<jammcq>
pscheie: that would have been audiolist
17:04
<pscheie>
Right; but there was some command that Jim had me run that showed it was trying to load a driver named maestro3, which explained why it was failing
17:05
but I can't remember the command, and I want to add it to my notes for future reference.
17:05
<jammcq>
oh, on the client, you need to run something like:
17:05
getltscfg /etc/audiolist
17:05
<Gadi>
not pci-scan /etc/audiolist?
17:05
<jammcq>
umm, yeah, that's it
17:05
that's exactly it
17:06* jammcq had a brain fart
17:06
<Gadi>
thats one way to clear a room ;)
17:06
man, this beryl stuff slows down my interface
17:06* Gadi needs to tweak....
17:06
<pscheie>
what's beryl?
17:07
<Gadi>
its a composition manager
17:07
basically, it makes your desktop do funky eye-candy things
17:07
like rotate as a cube
17:07
or animate windows
17:08* Gadi is running a rather old laptop atm
17:10
<pscheie>
what, if anything, would getltscfg /etc/audiolist show?
17:10
<jammcq>
nothing at all
17:10
it would return an error
17:13
<pscheie>
If ltsp supplied an esd binary for oss and alsa, would it try both or would you have to specify?
17:14
<jammcq>
I think we'd have to pick one as the default, and allow the sysadmin to specify the other
17:15
<pscheie>
This may be a really dumb question, but why doesn't esd work under kde?
17:15
<Gadi>
it does, but you have to tell kde to use it
17:15
kde use[sd] artsd
17:16
and you could tell arts to use esd
17:16
but kde is moving to phonon (which is similar to gstreamer)
17:16
so, you would then tell phonon to use it
17:17
... unless we beat all of these changes to the punch, and incorporate pulseaudio and alsa redirection
17:17
<pscheie>
I thought the point of gstreamer was to not need esd (?)
17:17
<Gadi>
in which case, no modification would be necesasry to 99% of the apps on the server
17:17
no, the point of gstreamer is to provide middleware to the audio stack
17:18
so, apps talk to gstreamer
17:18
and gstreamer decides what mechanism to use to play the sound
17:18moose5435 has quit IRC
17:19
<pscheie>
But that requires all the apps to be gstreamer- or phonon- aware, right?
17:19
<Gadi>
right
17:19
but many have gone that way
17:20
if we wind up doing alsa redirection, we should obviate that need as well
17:20
<pscheie>
I'm thinking about how Real Player 8 works on clients, but later versions don't
17:20
<Gadi>
and the *only* remaining apps that would break, would be ones that talk directly to /dev/dsp
17:20
(java *cough*)
17:20
RP8 has esd support
17:21
<pscheie>
RP10 does not AFAIK
17:21
<Gadi>
RP10 only has ALSA support
17:21
<pscheie>
so with your esd-with-alsa, should RP10 work?
17:21
<Gadi>
no
17:22
the esd-with-alsa still uses esd
17:22
it just uses alsa on the client
17:22cliebow_ has quit IRC
17:22
<Gadi>
basically, alsa/oss are on the level of talking to the soundcard
17:22
esd/nasd are on the level of transporting the sound
17:22
gstreamer/phonon are middleware

How's it going?
19:48
You done your talk yet?

All of our current specs have passed review, so now we're good for a whole new slate tomorrow!
19:48
No, they haven't asked me to speak yet.
