| 06:46 | <jernst> hi, i'm trying o solve my nfs problem when connecting a client that has a 100mbit nic to a gigabit server
| |
| 06:46 | after editing /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.cfg/default, should I make a ltsp-update-kernels (I'm using Ubuntu edgy)
| |
| 06:49 | <yanu> think not, just fire the terminal
| |
| 06:50 | i think if you do ltsp-update-kernels, then your changes will be overwritten
| |
| 06:56 | antocm has joined #ltsp | |
| 06:57 | <antocm> Hello, can i ask a question?
| |
| 06:57 | <yanu> no :)
| |
| 06:57 | <antocm> ok :(
| |
| 06:59 | andresmujica has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:00 | <yanu> hehe, shoot as the topic says
| |
| 07:01 | <antocm> I would like to include a bootsplash under ltsp terminal boot. Is it included in standard LTSP kernel?
| |
| 07:02 | <yanu> think so, look at /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 07:02 | and theres a page on the wiki, iirc
| |
| 07:02 | informatica has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:04 | <antocm> I dont have that directory, but i do have /tftpboot/lts/2.6.17.8-ltsp-1/pxelinux.cfg/default, and there is no mention to bootsplash
| |
| 07:05 | <yanu> ach, you use ltsp4.2
| |
| 07:05 | <antocm> The wiki page talks about patching a kernel, however that page was for 2.4. kernels, not for 2.6.x
| |
| 07:05 | <yanu> i'm talking about ltsp5
| |
| 07:05 | <antocm> I am using 4.2
| |
| 07:05 | <yanu> then i can't help you
| |
| 07:06 | you have to wait for the devs to wake up :)
| |
| 07:06 | <antocm> :-) what time is it there?
| |
| 07:06 | <yanu> all different :) accuse god for that hehe
| |
| 07:07 | <antocm> Ok, oll bring it here later. Thank you for replying...

| 07:17 | <jernst> yanu: the page onthe wikiabout botsplash seems outdated, do you know how to put the bootsplash image on edgy/muekow ?
| |
| 07:17 | <yanu> no
| |
| 07:17 | i'm a user
| |
| 07:18 | <sep> jernst, install the usplash package in the chroot, make sure your bootargs contain " quiet splash "
| |
| 07:19 | <yanu> sep: i have to get rid of 'quiet splash', otherwise i see nothing on the screens (driver i810)
| |
| 07:20 | no bootsplash at all
| |
| 07:20 | <sep> yanu, i have to add them to see it
| |
| 07:20 | otherways i get regular console messages
| |
| 07:21 | <yanu> ya, if i let them in the default-file, the spash never appear
| |
| 07:21 | <sep> ohh and recreate the initrd too i think is needed
| |
| 07:21 | <yanu> i think it's a problem with the driver
| |
| 07:27 | xbow_ is now known as xbow | |
| 07:31 | <jernst> sep: usplash is already installed, on VT:1 I can read: usplash: No usable theme for 1024x768
| |
| 07:36 | I fixed it I installed usplash-theme-ubuntu and thjen ltsp-update-kernels

| |
| 11:02 | Hola a todos desde España
| |
| 11:02 | <meduxa> hi all, one of the technicians of the group I work for sent an e-mail about what we have done fon gettings the sound working on KDE with ltsp 4.2 . Can you guys give it a try and tell us if there is a better way for configure it?
| |
| 11:03 | it works fine with both KDE and gnome apps
| |
| 11:03 | the next step is putting the config on a kde profile so every user get it when they log in
| |
| 11:03 | envite is the guy
| |
| 11:04 | J45p3r_ has quit IRC | |
| 11:04 | <meduxa> ask him for technical stuff

| 12:09 | <mathias> i cant login to gnome with one of my users from the client
| |
| 12:09 | kde works fine, also new users
| |
| 12:10 | any clue?
| |
| 12:10 | FernandoMM has quit IRC | |
| 12:10 | <Gadi> mathias: have the user logout and then do: ps -ef|grep <username>
| |
| 12:10 | see if there is a stray gconfd-2 process, and kill it if there is
| |
| 12:11 | that tends to be a culprit
| |
| 12:12 | <mathias> i've tried to reboot the server, same problem
| |
| 12:13 | where on the server is the log for X? for the client
| |
| 12:14 | prpplague has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:15 | <cliebow__> it isnt
| |
| 12:15 | it isd in ram on cklient
| |
| 12:15 | <mathias> oki
| |
| 12:16 | _LD_away_ has quit IRC | |
| 12:16 | _LD_Busy has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:17 | <Gadi> mathias: the X log has nothing to do with Gnome
| |
| 12:17 | if the user can log into kde and not gnome, its a gnome issue
| |
| 12:18 | <mathias> ok, i thougt there maybe something in the log
| |
| 12:18 | but there wasnt
| |
| 12:19 | <Gadi> it could be a problem with a /tmp file owned by the user
| |
| 12:20 | you could switch to the user and rm all /tmp files (which will remove all of the user's /tmp files)
| |
| 12:21 | <mathias> in the server /tmp dir or client /mnt/tmp?
| |
| 12:25 | <Envite> you can tru to log in gnome and look to the .xsession-errors file
| |
| 12:25 | s/tru/try
| |
| 12:26 | <mathias> cant find any EE or WW in client logfiles
| |
| 12:26 | <Envite> it uses to have some gnome starting info in that file and related ones
| |
| 12:26 | they're stored in user's home
| |
| 12:29 | <mathias> 1141719770.713830 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:128: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: (null)
| |
| 12:29 | ?
| |
| 12:30 | only thing i can find thats make any sense
| |
| 12:30 | the login is working from the server
| |
| 12:30 | but not client
| |
| 12:32 | <Gadi> sorry, gotta run - I meant the /tmp on the server
| |
| 12:32 | gnome places a lot of config stuff in /tmp when it runs
| |
| 12:33 | <mathias> removed a lockfile from there but it came back
| |
| 12:33 | mrlinux_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:33 | <Gadi> on the server, if you: su - <username> and then rm -rf /tmp/*
| |
| 12:33 | <mathias> oki
| |
| 12:33 | <Gadi> it will remove only the /tmp files owned by the user
| |
| 12:33 | be careful to make sure you are the user and not root
| |
| 12:33 | and then, try logging the user in
| |
| 12:33 | <mathias> got a lot of not permitted
| |
| 12:33 | <mrlinux_> i have an error in my dhcp any help please
| |
| 12:33 | <Gadi> good
| |
| 12:34 | <mathias> :( didnt work
| |
| 12:34 | is there any userbased login script for the ltsp system?
| |
| 12:34 | <cliebow__> mrlinux_:tell us
| |
| 12:35 | <mathias> that could mess it up
| |
| 12:35 | <cliebow__> or pastebot it..Not in here
| |
| 12:35 | <mrlinux_> my error is The error was: drop_privileges: could not set group id: Operation not permitted
| |
| 12:36 | Gadi has quit IRC | |
| 12:36 | <cliebow__> No No Gadi..Come back!!!!
| |
| 12:41 | <mrlinux_> so what do i do
| |
| 12:41 | <vagrantc> mathias: what do you mean by "userbased login script" ?
| |
| 12:43 | <mathias> the problem only appears to one user, only on the thin-client and Gnome. I thought maybe i could have some corrupted ltsp-script for that user
| |
| 12:43 | that runs for that user
| |
| 12:46 | god damn computers are great! :D what would i otherwise to tonight :P
| |
| 12:46 | <mrlinux_> The error was: drop_privileges: could not set group id: Operation not permitted
| |
| 12:46 | <mathias> mrlinux_: when do u get that?
| |
| 12:47 | <mrlinux_> when i try to start the server
| |
| 12:47 | <mathias> dhcpd?
| |
| 12:47 | <mrlinux_> /etc/init.d/dhcp*-server start
| |
| 12:47 | <mathias> in fedora i only run: dhcpd
| |
| 12:48 | to start it
| |
| 12:48 | <mrlinux_> i run edubuntu
| |
| 12:48 | i am a suse man but this is for school and i have to use edubuntu
| |
| 12:48 | i have to set up ltsp
| |
| 12:49 | <cliebow__> mrlinux: never come across that..you are trying to start dhcp3-server as root/
| |
| 12:49 | <mrlinux_> one sec
| |
| 12:50 | ok i tryed this sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp*-server start
| |
| 12:50 | i got this * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3 [fail]
| |
| 12:52 | <mathias> tried to do: sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp*-server restart?
| |
| 12:53 | if the dhcp is already running
| |
| 12:53 | <mrlinux_> nope
| |
| 12:53 | it is not runny
| |
| 12:53 | running
| |
| 12:54 | <mathias> ok, googled on that and found that solution
| |
| 12:54 | <mrlinux_> ok what
| |
| 12:55 | <mathias> the restart thing
| |
| 12:55 | is that the only thing you get? not anything more above that line?
| |
| 12:56 | <mrlinux_> all i get is that dhcp failed
| |
| 12:57 | i'll paste bin my config
| |
| 12:58 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, My server died :(
| |
| 12:58 | I'm swapping almost 300M of 1Gb... do you think it is dangerous?
| |
| 12:59 | <Envite> mrlinux_: check /var/log/syslog to see the CAUSE of dhcpd not starting
| |
| 12:59 | nicoAMG has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:00 | <Envite> that is, do: /etc/init.d/dhcpd start ; tail /var/log/syslog
| |
| 13:02 | <mathias> mrlinux_: found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LTSPServerSetup, its not about the fail but a guide, maybe something to look at
| |
| 13:02 | <mrlinux_> first i have to get the dhcp working
| |
| 13:03 | http://pastebin.com/837060
| |
| 13:03 | <g333k_work> Can somebody help me how to manage the load of my server?
| |
| 13:04 | <mrlinux_> afk
| |
| 13:05 | <mathias> mrlinux_: do you have a dhcp conf?
| |
| 13:05 | <Envite> http://pastebin.com/837060 does not load for me
| |
| 13:05 | <mathias> hm.. not me either
| |
| 13:06 | <Envite> maybe pastebin is heavily loaded
| |
| 13:06 | first page works
| |
| 13:07 | <mathias> or a huge conf file :P
| |
| 13:07 | <Envite> From pastebin main: " Sorry folks, this hasn't been performing too well recently. Fixes are coming!"
| |
| 13:07 | <mathias> ok
| |
| 13:07 | <mrlinux_> ok i can dcc the actual file
| |
| 13:07 | maybe
| |
| 13:07 | <mathias> i dont know if you need anything more in the conf than whats on http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted
| |
| 13:08 | <Envite> i think first is to know why dhcpd does not start
| |
| 13:09 | I'm going out for a coffe
| |
| 13:09 | <mathias> but if you dont have a conf it wont start
| |
| 13:09 | maybe
| |
| 13:09 | a wrong conf i mean
| |
| 13:10 | <mrlinux_> i think it's set wrong can some one look at it
| |
| 13:11 | i'll dcc it
| |
| 13:11 | <mathias> i can make a try
| |
| 13:13 | <mrlinux_> wont go
| |
| 13:13 | <mathias> mail? storskogen_7@hotmail.co
| |
| 13:13 | com
| |
| 13:14 | <mrlinux_> sent
| |
| 13:14 | <mathias> got it
| |
| 13:17 | <mrlinux_> ok whats wrong
| |
| 13:19 | <mathias> I cant find anything wrong, i have compared to mine and it looks almost the same
| |
| 13:19 | did you try Envite's suggestion
| |
| 13:19 | <Envite> that is, do: /etc/init.d/dhcpd start ; tail /var/log/syslog
| |
| 13:20 | <mrlinux_> i know thats why i m like wtf

| 13:27 | <mathias> i sometimes even use it with laptop+gms phone gprs
| |
| 13:27 | <nicoAMG> Hmm!!
| |
| 13:27 | <mathias> http:www.nomachine.com
| |
| 13:27 | <nicoAMG> mathias: Is commercial software?
| |
| 13:28 | mathias: I need something for free.. :D
| |
| 13:28 | <mathias> its free :D
| |
| 13:28 | <dberkholz> freenx is free
| |
| 13:28 | and open source
| |
| 13:28 | nomachine also has its own commercial server
| |
| 13:29 | <nicoAMG> Hmm!
| |
| 13:29 | <mathias> http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
| |
| 13:30 | <nicoAMG> I'm using Ubuntu 6.10.. any good How-To about installing FreeNX on Ubuntu / Debian?
| |
| 13:31 | <dberkholz> probably. search your forums or google it
| |
| 13:32 | * vagrantc suspects gadi knows a thing or two about freenx and ltsp | |
| 13:32 | <mathias> mrlinux_, Damn! cant find any sample dhcpd.conf for you :(
| |
| 13:32 | <mrlinux_> i am getting pissed because i need this
| |
| 13:34 | <sbalneav> g333k_work: ping
| |
| 13:36 | andresmujica has left #ltsp | |
| 13:36 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, pong
| |
| 13:36 | <sbalneav> Run out of memory?
| |
| 13:37 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, I think yes... I just add 512M more
| |
| 13:37 | <sbalneav> That should help
| |
| 13:37 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, We have 15 clients running just firefox and XFCE X manager
| |
| 13:37 | <sbalneav> It's not "dangerous" to swap, as you asked, it's just slow.
| |
| 13:37 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, what about the size of the swap?
| |
| 13:37 | <mathias> mrlinux_, try: touch /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
| |
| 13:38 | <sbalneav> Well, one gig's ok
| |
| 13:38 | <mathias> and then ..../dhcpd -d -f
| |
| 13:38 | <mrlinux_> touch: cannot touch `/var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases': No such file or directory
| |
| 13:38 | <mathias> last is for debug mode
| |
| 13:39 | try -d -f then
| |
| 13:39 | <mrlinux_> what
| |
| 13:39 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, My server is a P4 3.0Ghz HT with 1G of RAM now..... how many clients using just firefox will be able to support?
| |
| 13:40 | <mathias> mrlinux_, /etc/init.d/dhcpd -d -f
| |
| 13:41 | <sbalneav> It depends upon what they're browsing to, but with 1G of ram, you should be able to support at least 30 or so.
| |
| 13:41 | <mathias> mrlinux_, sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp*-server -d -f
| |
| 13:42 | mrlinux_, found a how-to at: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/x369.html#AEN422
| |
| 13:42 | mrlinux_, look at 4.4 Starting the server
| |
| 13:42 | <sbalneav> mrlinux_: You the same one from edubuntu?
| |
| 13:43 | <Envite> re
| |
| 13:47 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, now my server is using 0 swap
| |
| 13:47 | <sbalneav> There you go
| |

| 13:50 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, is there a way to know which clients are alive, working ok?
| |
| 13:50 | <sbalneav> Well, ping will work
| |
| 13:51 | as well, you can see who's logged in with ps
| |
| 13:51 | the "w" command should also tell you who's logged in.
| |
| 13:51 | <g333k_work> sometimes they answer to the ping but they are not working ok...
| |
| 13:52 | ps -w ?
| |
| 13:52 | ohh
| |
| 13:52 | ps aux | grep ws
| |
| 13:52 | ?
| |
| 13:52 | rangerhomezzz is now known as rangerpb | |
| 13:53 | <sbalneav> No, just "w"
| |
| 13:53 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, what w command do you refer? is it a ltsp command?
| |
| 13:53 | <sbalneav> No, it's a unix command
| |
| 13:53 | just type "w" and hit enter
| |
| 13:53 | <Envite> w is mostly the same as who
| |

| |
| 13:54 | <sbalneav> yup
| |
| 13:54 | see the "ws089.ltsp" ones are logged in.
| |
| 13:54 | <g333k_work> vagrantc, interesting
| |
| 13:54 | sbalneav, just one???
| |
| 13:55 | but here I have ws002 connected but doent appear in the w command
| |
| 13:56 | <vagrantc> g333k_work: what distro?
| |
| 13:57 | g333k_work: and when you say connected, do you mean logged in as a user? or just at the login screen?
| |
| 13:57 | <sbalneav> Is someone logged in on ws002?
| |
| 13:57 | <g333k_work> vagrantc, I updated ubuntu dapper to edgy
| |
| 13:57 | sbalneav, yep
| |
| 13:57 | sbalneav, me.. I have this pc in my side as a test client
| |
| 13:57 | <sbalneav> Hm, interesting
| |
| 13:58 | <vagrantc> if you're using ldm, rather than gdm or kdm, user's may not show up in the w or who commands
| |
| 13:58 | unless they have an xterm open
| |
| 13:58 | <sbalneav> vagrantc: ssh doesn't make an entry in utmp?
| |
| 13:58 | ick
| |
| 13:58 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: i don't think so, no.
| |
| 13:58 | sbalneav: because it's run as the user, not as root. so it doesn't have write permission to utmp
| |
| 13:59 | or wtmp, or whatevertmp
| |
| 13:59 | <g333k_work> vagrantc, I'm usign gdm + XFCE
| |
| 13:59 | <sbalneav> when you first ssh in though, the main daemon runs as root, and forks off a copy. I guess Theo & company drop privs almost immediately, and don't cut a utmp record.
| |
| 13:59 | <vagrantc> g333k_work: ok, then users should show up when they log in.
| |
| 14:00 | <g333k_work> vagrantc, show in the w command?
| |
| 14:00 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: yeah. maybe there's a way to configure openssh to log the users in... not sure.
| |
| 14:00 | sbalneav: i also think it would be difficult on logout to handle it properly.

| 14:01 | <g333k_work> the best way I found is checking my clients with the top command... I see if they are using firefox

| 14:17 | <mrlinux_> how do i assign a protocol to eth1
| |
| 14:17 | <Envite> a protocol?
| |
| 14:17 | <mrlinux_> tcp
| |
| 14:18 | udp
| |
| 14:18 | rangerpb has left #ltsp | |
| 14:18 | <Envite> a NIC can use every protocol, typically
| |
| 14:19 | <mrlinux_> yes i know but how do i make eth1 show that it has at least some protocol attached
| |
| 14:19 | <sbalneav> mrlinux_: Is the interface configured?
| |
| 14:20 | ifconfig eth1 should tell you this.

| 14:24 | <timborn> start by getting eth1 to have an IP address
| |
| 14:24 | mdz has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:24 | <mrlinux_> ok but i am trying to get my internal dhcp to give it an ip but my dhcp fails when i start it
| |
| 14:26 | <sbalneav> You don't have an IP address assigned to eth1
| |
| 14:26 | <timborn> any clues in the logfile on the DHCP server (typ /var/log/messages or /var/log/dhcpd)
| |
| 14:26 | <mrlinux_> yes
| |
| 14:26 | <sbalneav> Are you running Edubuntu?
| |
| 14:27 | prpplague has quit IRC | |
| 14:28 | <mrlinux_> yes
| |
| 14:28 | <sbalneav> ok
| |
| 14:28 | So, go to the System menu, and select Administration
| |
| 14:28 | Select "Networking"
| |
| 14:29 | Click on the Eth1 card
| |
| 14:29 | and select the "Properties" button
| |
| 14:29 | Give it a static IP address
| |
| 14:29 | <mrlinux_> of what
| |
| 14:29 | 192
| |
| 14:30 | <sbalneav> Well, is all you're going to hang off of eth1 going to be terminals?
| |
| 14:30 | Do you have a separate ethernet switch for this interface?
| |
| 14:30 | <mrlinux_> i will
| |
| 14:31 | afk
| |
| 14:31 | <sbalneav> ok, then the simplest will be to assign it the standard address
| |
| 14:31 | 192.168.0.254
| |
| 14:32 | <mrlinux_> this is what i assigned 192.168.0.203 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway is blank
| |
| 14:34 | what now
| |
| 14:35 | i fucking love you
| |
| 14:35 | sorry
| |
| 14:35 | afk
| |
| 14:35 | <sbalneav> Keep the swearing down, please
| |
| 14:36 | what does ifconfig eth1 show now
| |
| 14:36 | <mrlinux_> that is y i said sorry
| |
| 14:36 | <cliebow__> I'm melting....
| |
| 14:36 | nite from ellsworth maine!
| |
| 14:36 | <mrlinux_> it shows the ip and now my dhcp server is running
| |
| 14:37 | <g333k_work> hi, how can I slow the mouse pointer speed?
| |
| 14:37 | cliebow__ has quit IRC | |
| 14:37 | cliebow_ has quit IRC | |
| 14:38 | <sbalneav> ok
| |
| 14:38 | so, you should be able to try to boot clients off that interface
| |
| 14:39 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:39 | <mrlinux_> now i have the dhcp running how do i enable ltsp
| |
| 14:39 | but don't i need to set up the routing table
| |
| 14:39 | <sbalneav> It should be enabled already.
| |
| 14:40 | No, you won't need routing, as the clients processes run on the server.
| |
| 14:40 | g333k_work: X_MOUSE_* parameters in lts.conf
| |
| 14:40 | <mrlinux_> how do i set up clients
| |
| 14:40 | <sbalneav> Set them to pxe boot
| |
| 14:41 | from their network card.
| |
| 14:41 | You'd usually do that in the bios setup
| |
| 14:42 | <g333k_work> sbalneav, I have read... but I dont see anything related with speed, maybe the resolution is related to speed=
| |
| 14:42 | ??
| |
| 14:43 | <mrlinux_> ok how do i check to see if my pxe client on my sever work
| |
| 14:43 | <sbalneav> Yes, resolution affects the "speed"
| |
| 14:44 | mrlinux_: Try booting a machine
| |
| 14:44 | off of eth1
| |
| 14:44 | So, connect up a thin client to eth1, and set it to boot pxe from the bios.
| |
| 14:44 | <mrlinux_> does the machine have to have anything installed
| |
| 14:45 | <sbalneav> Doesn't even need a hard drive.
| |
| 14:45 | andresmujica has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:45 | <sbalneav> that's why they're "thin" clients :)
| |
| 14:45 | Envite has quit IRC | |
| 14:45 | <mrlinux_> so take a comp and set it to network boot and see if it boots up
| |
| 14:45 | right
| |

| |
| 18:03 | <antocm> He's not around right now. Thank you for the hint.
| |
| 18:07 | <Kodex> antocm, yes, you still go to patch it. "Piercing" the init with 'splash' is a little different though.
| |
| 18:11 | pipedream has joined #ltsp | |
| 18:13 | <vagrantc> in debian or ubuntu, you should be able to use usplash and/or splashy without many changes.
| |
| 18:13 | <antocm> Do you know where i can find an 2.6.17 LTSP kernel already patched with bootslplash?
| |
