Hi! Do some of u ppl got any problem with thin clients? In my case a white frame appear when I try to login, and after a while the loginscreen come back. Guess that I have some problem in xorg.conf or lts.conf?
06:09
<tsw>
its been a while since I used ltsp, but I bet xorg.conf. check some logs to be sure
06:10
there was some video streaming solution built on top of ltsp, would someone refresh my memory with a url >(
06:10
:)

<cliebow_>
jammcq, did you know that dbus supports tcp connections would you elaborate on that a bit jammcq?implications?
06:12
al ittle later on..
06:14
<ogra>
cliebow, do you have a nice howto about running x11vnc as a system service on thin clients ?
06:16
<cliebow_>
ogra: there is the piece on wiki.ltsp.org in exsxperimental..
06:16
<ogra>
ah, cool
06:17
<cliebow_>
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WorkInProgress#x11vnc
06:17
<ogra>
i just need something i can point users to, we didnt manage to automate that part in thin-client-manager yet
06:17
so the admin needs to set it up manually
06:18
<cliebow_>
i aM afraid so..never had much call for ir
06:18
the links are broken
06:18
substitute 169.244.3.137 for 169.244.61.66...it is python 8`)
06:19
sorry to say i didnt write it..just bastardized what was there
06:19
<ogra>
hmm, that needs localapps and user interaction ...
06:20
but its a good start
06:20
<cliebow_>
it could easily be made to autologin no?
06:20
the boss didnt want ti too open.
06:20
<jammcq>
hey kids
06:21
<cliebow_>
jammcq: ill see ya from school...a one sentence explain how dbus and tcp connections are relevant would be nice 8`)
06:21
Hi!! byt the way
06:21
<jammcq>
cliebow_: a message passing system between the client and server. things like 'USB stick has been inserted'
06:21
<IRCzito>
somebody can help me??
06:22
<jammcq>
IRCzito: dunno what your problem is
06:22
<IRCzito>
How can I fix NETDEV HACHT DOV
06:22
DOG
06:22
<jammcq>
hmm
06:22
<cliebow_>
ahhhhhhhhh..wow..that could be uesful..how about message to all terminals.."log out or die"
06:22
<jammcq>
cliebow_: possibely for that too
06:22
well
06:22
cliebow_: it's not for sending messages to users
06:22
it's a "system bus"
06:23
<IRCzito>
I have machine, and this work in ltsp-4.1 bat in ltsp-4.2 an 5 this not work
06:23
<cliebow_>
maye that ideA is easy with ltsp5
06:23
<ogra>
cliebow, thats what TCM already does, but it uses its own TCP connection to forward the dbus messages
06:23
<cliebow_>
a great addition it would be..
06:23
<jammcq>
IRCzito: what kind of network card?
06:23
<IRCzito>
Realtek 8139
06:23
<jammcq>
hmm
06:23
<ogra>
the nice thing is that pete has put all functionallity int python-tcm, so you can easily write your own proggies around that functions
06:24
<jammcq>
the big difference between LTSP-4.1 and the newer (4.2 & 5) is that LTSP-4.1 used a 2.4 kernel
06:24
<IRCzito>
the machine is k6-2 500
06:24
<jammcq>
while the newer versions use a 2.6 kernel
06:24
<ogra>
i.e. get a userlist, kill an app in the users session etc
06:24
<cliebow_>
i HAVE to sit down and learn some python
06:24
<ogra>
yeah
06:24
<jammcq>
cliebow_: just keep working with Perl :)
06:24
<cliebow_>
uh oh
06:24
<jammcq>
anything python can do, perl can do better :)
06:25
<ogra>
with python-ltsp for server and chroot maintenance and python-tcm for session management you will have full control easily
06:25
<cliebow_>
i know just enought to be dangerous in perl..much less python
06:25
that is awesome..
06:25
<IRCzito>
I like python too
06:25
<ogra>
you cant be dangerous in python easily, thats its big advantage ;)
06:25
<IRCzito>
:D
06:25
<cliebow_>
8`)
06:25
<jammcq>
ogra: but then, where's the fun ?
06:26plamengr has joined #ltsp
06:26
<cliebow_>
i should hack up something with python-ldap..it is how i got a lead into perl
06:26
<jammcq>
IRCzito: ummm, can you try putting the NIC into a different slot?
06:26
<cliebow_>
which is where network authenntication would come in for vlients huh
06:26
<ogra>
jammcq, more and more professional gui tools ;) you can concentrate on bling and new features instaed of having to implement stuff over and over again ;)
06:27
<jammcq>
sure, you would say that
06:27
<ogra>
heh
06:27
<IRCzito>
No
06:27
<cliebow_>
like anything..pick the right tool
06:27
for me either a bludgeon,excavator..or shovel
06:28
err teaspoon
06:28
<jammcq>
hey, whatever you are comfortable with
06:29
IRCzito: ummm, I have to run right now. I'll be back online in about an hour, maybe I can help you then
06:29
<IRCzito>
I go to try to change the card, and slot…
06:29
<cliebow_>
after a while i can tie two or three teaspoons together and get something done..
06:29
off to the races..
06:29jammcq has quit IRC

<IRCzito>
thanks
06:30
i'll be waiting

Hi, all! :) How do you specify a floppy as a LocalDev? I tried LOCAL_DEVICE_01 = /dev/hdc:cdrom
06:33
LOCAL_DEVICE_02 = /dev/fd0:floppy in lts.conf. The CD is OK, but the floppy doesn't appear
06:34
in LTSP5 :)
06:34
<ogra>
you dont
06:34
it gets autodetected or not ...
06:34
while "not" is a bug
06:34IRCzito has quit IRC
06:34
<plamengr>
there;s no need for LOCAL_DEVICE_01 = /dev/hdc:cdrom?
06:35
<ogra>
make sure to have localdevcie support enabled generally with LOCALDEV=True
06:35
<plamengr>
yes, it is
06:35
<ogra>
and that yu have the ltspfsd package in the client chroot and the ltspfs package on the server
06:35
<plamengr>
yes
06:35
<ogra>
beyond that, sbalneav is your man, he implemented the floppy parts in ltsp5
06:35
<plamengr>
ok, 10x again :)

lizk12, which distro/ltsp version ?
10:12
<lizk12>
k12ltsp fedora 6
10:13
<ogra>
and how much memory has the s3 card ?
10:13
note that below 2M likely wont work
10:13
<lizk12>
I used auto but doesn't work.
10:14
<jammcq>
lizk12: try XSERVER = s3v
10:14
<lizk12>
I don't know how much memory it has but I have 3 pcs with the same problem.
10:14
<jammcq>
or XSERVER = s3
10:14
there is no XF86_S3V anymore
10:14
<lizk12>
I'll try
10:14
<jammcq>
that's the old xfree86 stuff
10:14
which reminds me to call scotty again
10:15plamengr has quit IRC
10:15

jammcq, i think its called s3virge :)
10:15

So i have an issue with an ltsp node on edgy... it PXEs fine, gets a kernel fine, and boots until it syas "IP-Config: eth0 hardware address ... mtu 1500 DHCP RARP" and then just hangs
11:24
all my DHCP options are correct as far as i can tel
11:27lizk12 has quit IRC
11:28
<jammcq>
hmmm
11:28
using Edgy's LTSP ? or LTSP-4.2 ?
11:28
<forgue>
edgy's
11:29
it works fine on whiprush's network, but not on mine... so I'm guessing it's DHCP or server configuration
11:29bobby_C has joined #ltsp
11:29
<jammcq>
hmm
11:30
well, the next thing it does after ipconfig is NFS
11:30
so, on your server, do this: showmount -e
11:30
<forgue>
I've mounted /opt/ltsp/i386 from a different machine without issue
11:30
Export list for anthracite:
11:30
/opt/ltsp *
11:30
<jammcq>
ok, check your subnet and broadcast entries in your dhcpd.conf file
11:31
<Gadi>
forgue: are there multiple NICs in the client?
11:31
<forgue>
Gadi: nope, just one -- just a sec jim
11:31
<jammcq>
Gadi: hey
11:31
<Gadi>
hey, jammcq
11:31
hows it hangin?
11:31
<jammcq>
hmm, how can I answer that....
11:32
I got nothin
11:32
<Gadi>
for me, its usually a little to the left
11:32
<jammcq>
did you roll out that pilot project you were telling me about?
11:32
<Gadi>
but im sure youd say 'off the grid'
11:32
<jammcq>
:)
11:33
<Gadi>
the museum?
11:33
<jammcq>
speaking of off-the-grid, i'll try ringing scotty again
11:33
yeah
11:33
<forgue>
subnet is 255.255.252.0 and the broadcast address doesn't look set
11:33
i'm still looking at our appliance
11:33
<Gadi>
yea - they like - a few mods to the admin interface and using the new native Linux flash projector and they should have their ideal solution
11:33
<jammcq>
forgue: hmm, yer not doing a class-c, so you probably should force the broadcast
11:34
<Gadi>
God bless Adobe Flashplayer 9
11:36
<forgue>
that's interesting, since based on an IP and a subnet, there can only be 1 broadcast address
11:36
<jammcq>
how many did you want?
11:37
<forgue>
well I'm trying to figure out why I should tell it
11:37
<jammcq>
cuz it may not be figuring it out properly by itself
11:38
<ogra>
ipconfig is initramfs ...
11:38
not the chroot ...
11:38
so its failing before nfs kicks in
11:38
smells like a NIC /driver issue
11:38
<forgue>
jammcq: this is one of the thin clieents jorge bought from you :-)
11:38
and it works on his network
11:39
<jammcq>
ah, so we know the thin client is good :)
11:39
it's a T-150, ogra's got one of those
11:39
<ogra>
yeah
11:39
i work on t every day
11:39
*it
11:39IRCzito has joined #ltsp
11:40
<forgue>
after the IP-COnfig:... it says eth0 link up 100full etc etc
11:40
<jammcq>
ogra: you forgot "happily work on it"
11:40
<forgue>
and tcpdump says it's getting a DHCP reply to the requests
11:40
but it keeps banging away trying to get a lease
11:40
<ogra>
jammcq, well, i'm *more happily* working with the 170 :)
11:40
<jammcq>
it sounds like IP-Config finished its job, then it's gonna try and mount the root fs via nfs
11:40
<ogra>
then you would see the usual error
11:40
<jammcq>
hmm, it's still make dhcp requests?
11:40
<forgue>
yeah
11:40
<ogra>
and a complaint about /sbin/init
11:41
"just hanging" sonds somewhat different
11:41
<forgue>
it does : request -> reply -> request -> request -> ad infininum
11:41
<jammcq>
ogra: bad broadcast causes googyness to happen, but i've not seen it on LTSP-5 to know how it shows up
11:41
<IRCzito>
jammcq: I change de network card slot and and this fix de netdev wacth dog
11:41
<ogra>
me neither yet
11:41
<bgomes>
IRCzito: hi
11:41
<jammcq>
forgue: does your dhcpd.conf have a root-path entry?
11:41
<forgue>
yap
11:41
<jammcq>
IRCzito: so its' working?
11:41
<forgue>
root-path is "/opt/ltsp/i386"
11:41
<jammcq>
forgue: how about you paste your dhcpd.conf file to http://pastebot.ltsp.org ?
11:42
<ogra>
forgue, any you used /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to set that ?
11:42
<forgue>
i've tried it with and without an IP
11:42
DHCP is handled by an appliance
11:42
<ogra>
ah
11:42
<forgue>
it's shared by the rest of campus
11:42
<IRCzito>
almost
11:43
jammcq: now the error is: nfsmount need path
11:43
<forgue>
I'll pastebin the tcpdump
11:43
after TFTP
11:44
<ltsppbot>
"forgue" pasted "12:40:17.669790 IP 0.0.0.0.boo" (4 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/50
11:44
<forgue>
that goes on forever
11:45
<jammcq>
any chance you have another DHCP server on your network?
11:46
<forgue>
no
11:46
<jammcq>
although that shouldn't cause this problem anyway
11:46
<IRCzito>
jammcq: I thought that the problem was in initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs but any alteration that I make in this archive does not happen nothing
11:46
<bgomes>
IRCzito: your adsl modem dont have dhcp?
11:48
<IRCzito>
No
11:48
<jammcq>
forgue: how many nics in the server?
11:49
<IRCzito>
bgomes: I use network card exclusive for the terminal (crosover)
11:49
<bgomes>
IRCzito: really
11:50
<IRCzito>
:D
11:51
I am going for the work, I come back
11:51
<forgue>
jammcq: just one
11:51
jammcq: I'm going to lunch, but I have 1 more thing
11:51
the client does a DISCOVER, then the DHCP server gives an OFFER
11:51IRCzito has quit IRC
11:51
<forgue>
then the CLIENT does a request, but the DHCP server never ACKs the request
11:52
I wonder why.

cliebow, -20 had some issues, BenC uploaded -11 today
12:35
err
12:35
20-10 and 20-11 indeed
12:36
cliebow, i'll need to do beta release tests until i vomit over the isos during the next 10 days .... i'll try to find out whats wrong there

<BarryAllen>
12:37
some tip?
12:38
<jammcq>
BarryAllen: either your dhcpd.conf file doesn't have a 'filename' entry, or you have another DHCP server on the same network
12:39
<ltsppbot>
"IRCzito" pasted "File: dhcpd.conf Error: “nsfmount: need path”" (27 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/51
12:39
<jammcq>
IRCzito: for LTSP-5, you need to take the IP address out of the root-path
12:39Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC
12:39
<BarryAllen>
jammcq... i have an filename entry... maybe someone put any new device in the network, with dhcp enabled, ill check...
12:39
for something, new
12:40
<jammcq>
all you need is: option root-path "/opt/ltsp/debian_etch_i386";
12:40
<ogra>
jammcq, thats actually something id like to fix between beta and release
12:40
<jammcq>
ogra: I really wish you (or we) would fix that
12:40
<ogra>
i'll come and pick your brain after beta is out
12:40
<IRCzito>
jammcq: only "/opt/ltsp/debian_etch_i386"
12:40Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp

<jammcq>
IRCzito: yepper
12:40
<ogra>
i think vagrant already had a good idea about it
12:41
jammcq, and for feisty+1 lets get rid of the second dhcp request
12:41
<IRCzito>
I think, I go home to try this...
12:41
<jammcq>
ogra: good luck with that
12:41
<cliebow>
awww.no sweat...im just playing...anyway
12:41
<ogra>
i think thats the slowing down factor
12:41
<jammcq>
I don't
12:41
<ogra>
s/the/the most/
12:41
why ?
12:42
it sends a second dhcp request and waits for a reply ...
12:42
<jammcq>
what, for a few milliseconds?
12:42
that's not the slowdown
12:42
<ogra>
fi you dont have that request you will surely win 5-10 secs
12:42
<jammcq>
pfff
12:42
so, LTSP-4.2 boots in 22 seconds. are you saying we could shave off another 5-10 seconds ?
12:43
and... that 22 seconds includes about 15 seconds of bios stuff
12:43
<ogra>
i'm not talking about 4.2
12:43
<jammcq>
ltsp-4.2 does the 2nd dhcp request
12:43
why isn't it slow?
12:43
<ogra>
ah
12:43
ok
12:43
no idea then ...
12:43
<jammcq>
heh
12:43
<ogra>
but i still think the second request is nonsense ... we already have the data
12:44
<jammcq>
it's a great idea to remove the 2nd dhcp request. I just don't think it'll work
12:44
how do you have the data?
12:44
pxe won't pass it along to the client
12:44
<ogra>
the initramfs has them
12:44
<jammcq>
the initrams has the IP address of that was obtained by the first request?
12:44
<ogra>
the first request you see is done from ipconfig in initramfs ...
12:44
<jammcq>
no, the first request is done by PXE
12:45
is Ubuntu doing THREE requests?
12:45
<ogra>
but ipconfig has this data available
12:45
no
12:45
<jammcq>
I don't understand how ipconfig can get the IP address from the first dhcp request that was done by PXE looooong before the kernel was loaded
12:45
<ogra>
the data i have gets handed to ipconfig to configure the device in te initramfs as i understand the klibc crap
12:46
<jammcq>
that's not how I understand it, but i'd love to be proven wrong about it
12:46
<ogra>
well, we'll need to investigate ...
12:46
<jammcq>
sounds like a good plan
12:46
<ogra>
thats why i want to do it in +1 :)
12:46
it will need time
12:46
<jammcq>
yep
12:47
shouldn't take more than a few hours to prove if the data is there, and proceed with a fix
12:47
(if it's really there) :)
12:47
<ogra>
additionally i have a request for having a whole system in the initramfs and to get rid of nfs
12:47
i'm not sure i like the idea
12:47
<jammcq>
well, that would be called "PXES" then :)
12:47
<ogra>
but there is someone pushing for it to have it in the code
12:47
<jammcq>
it's an interesting idea, but requires double ram
12:47
<ogra>
no, not PXES ... there is another project
12:48
<jammcq>
2x
12:48
<ogra>
some spanish or br guy
12:48
<jammcq>
there's a couple of them floating around
12:48
PXES was from a guy in Argentina
12:48
<bgomes>
IRCzito: ssh to your home
12:48
<ogra>
yeah but this one has cnnections to mark :P
12:48
<jammcq>
ah
12:48
well then, we know it will get done :)
12:49
<ogra>
i wont code anything myself, but will have to include what he sende (if he does so)
12:49
*sends
12:50
<IRCzito>
bgomes: but i can see the boot of the terminal :D
12:50
<cliebow>
there does seem to be quite a pause after the network card comes up the second time..but in ppc i see scads of "malformed packets"
12:51
before nfs really gets a hold
12:55
<bgomes>
IRCzito: :P

bgomes: I use ltsp5 under Slack11, next step, build de root-tree for slack too
13:09
jammcq: thanks :D
13:10
jammcq: the users of the ltsp-5 is not my system users?
13:11
jammcq: I have to add the users in chroot?
13:12
<jammcq>
no, you should be fine
13:12
they aren't really logging into the terminal, they are logging into the server
13:17
<bgomes>
IRCzito_home: go to work!!! :P what you do in home?
13:18
<forgue>
if the IP of the NFS server isn't required in root-path, where does it get it?
13:18
next-server?
13:18
<IRCzito_home>
bgomes: I try Ltsp-5 :D
13:18
<bgomes>
forgue: next-server is for second request of dhcpd
13:19
forgue: on startup of thin client
13:21
<IRCzito_home>
jammcq: I don't understand, I can't loggin suceful, and
13:21
successful 
13:22
<jammcq>
IRCzito_home: did you run 'ltsp-update-sshkeys' ?
13:24
<IRCzito_home>
some time ago
13:24
<jammcq>
have you run it, since installing ltsp-debian-etch-i386 ?
13:25
try running it again, just to see if that clears it up
13:25
<IRCzito_home>
I go to try again
13:29
<forgue>
jammcq: the only difference I see between DHCP during PXE and DHCP in IP-Config is that the DHCP OFFER in IP-Config is from the server as a unicast and the dhcp offer in PXE is a broadcast
13:29
I have no clue why that would matter
13:29
or even if that's the issue
13:29
<jammcq>
seems odd
13:30
<forgue>
ah
13:30
which may be why it doesn't see it
13:30
<jammcq>
Unicast wont' work, for an offer
13:30
<forgue>
because it doesn't think it has an IP yet
13:30
<jammcq>
the client doesn't know it's own address yet
13:30
<forgue>
right!
13:30
yay!
13:30
<jammcq>
so why would it be doing it that way
13:30
check for a dhcp-server update
13:31
<forgue>
like an apt-get update
13:31
?
13:31
<jammcq>
ya

<forgue>
here's how it looks during ip-config
13:34
<jammcq>
running edgy ?
13:34
<IRCzito_home>
nobios: :D
13:34ogra has quit IRC
13:34
<forgue>
client does a discover to 255.255.255.255, server responds with an offer to 10.40.20.180, client sends infinite requests to 255.255.255.255
13:35
<jammcq>
how did you install ltsp on an appliance?
13:35
<forgue>
ltsp is on edgy
13:35
DHCP is an appliance
13:36
<jammcq>
ahhh, so it's prolly not even isc's dhcp server
13:36
<forgue>
yeah, it's isc
13:36
<IRCzito_home>
My ltsp-5 on (Slack11 + ltsp_debian_etch_i386 root tree) boots ok, only lacks the users loggin :D
13:36
<forgue>
but some web interface thing manages the dhcpd.conf
13:37
<jammcq>
what's jorge using for dhcp ?
13:37
<forgue>
windows
13:38
<cliebow>
cd /etc/ltsp
13:38
<forgue>
i can post the wireshark DHCP transactions if you care
13:38
<IRCzito_home>
nobios: you think it's a problem: dhcpd: No hostname for 192.168.1.199
13:38
??
13:38msinhore has joined #ltsp
13:39
<nobios>
IRCzito_home: it's not a real problem... but you should make a name for every machine that you intend to boot :) make's life easy
13:39
IRCzito_home: you should configure your dhcpd.conf
13:40ogra has joined #ltsp

13:40
<jammcq>
IRCzito_home: do you have a desktop environment installed on your server?
13:41
also, go into the home directory on your server, for that user, and look at .xession-errors
13:41
<ogra>
IRCzito, check ~/.xsession-errors
13:41
<IRCzito_home>
I think, no.. ok, thanks
13:50
How can I see logs of the terminal?
13:51
<cliebow>
can you ssh in?
13:51
otherwise you can do screen_02=shell
13:51
and use ctrl alt f2 to get a shell.
13:51
sain an lts.conf
13:52
<IRCzito_home>
I use ltsp5
13:52
<cliebow>
make an lts.conf..
13:52
[default]

13:53
right..gents?
13:54bobby_C has quit IRC
13:55
<jammcq>
SCREEN_07 = shell
13:55
i'm thinking the problem is that he's running slackware, and the 'xession' script doesn't exist
13:55
ogra: what's the name of the command that ssh is trying to run?
13:55
<bgomes>
IRCzito_home: enable syslog remote login and the terminal send for your server machine

14:16
<nobios>
only jesus saves
14:17
<AMSmith42>
Silly question: Where can I find lst.conf?
14:17
<nobios>
AMSmith42: take a look in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/
14:18
<AMSmith42>
Thank you.
14:18
Hmmmm
14:18
I don't see it there.
14:18
Let me take a closer look.
14:19
<ogra>
AMSmith42, then you are using ltsp5
14:19
it doesnt need that file ...
14:19
just create it ...
14:19
<AMSmith42>
Ah. Create it to change the client desktop resolution?
14:20
<nobios>
yeah
14:21
<ogra>
which distro ? in ubuntu ou need to set the right X_HORZSYNC X_VERTREFRES values, it will compute the resolution ... debian supports XMODE ....
14:23
<AMSmith42>
Ubuntu
14:24kaminski-ltsp-br has quit IRC
14:25
<AMSmith42>
So, the obvious question, how do I determine the correct values?
14:26
Looking ahead, right now I'm using a CRT. What happens when I switch to an LCD later?
14:28
<jammcq>
AMSmith42: the video card, the monitor and the Xserver are all supposed to work together, to determine the best settings for that combination. Sometimes though, especially with old monitors, it can't make the right choice
14:28
that's when we have to help it out
14:28
newer monitors *should* work better
14:29
<AMSmith42>
Thank you.
14:29
Yes, it is an older monitor.
14:29
That being the case, I'm not too concerned about getting the correct resolution then.
14:30
Thank you.

nonsparker: You aren't helping yourself...
16:16
<nonsparker>
well
16:16
will you help me
16:17
why is this channel even here if people don't talk?
16:17
<bricode>
People do talk, but most have gone home.
16:17
<nonsparker>
ok
16:17
how do i get some interactive help then
16:18
<bricode>
Well, start by describing your problem.
16:18
<ogra>
by not being annoying to everyone through spamming the channel
16:18
<bricode>
Also that.
16:18
<nonsparker>
I am getting pxe-e11: arp time out errors
16:19
on my client
16:19
<bricode>
Okay. Good start. Now OS? Client type? Network card?
16:19
<nonsparker>
client is a vm on an esx server
16:19
server is k12ltsp default install
16:20
if you can just point me in the right direction I will be out of your hair
16:21
the client gets an IP from dhcp then the error occours
16:21
is that enough info?
16:22
<bricode>
nonsparker: Is the VM client on a different box than the server? Attached through a router?
16:22
<nonsparker>
no they are on the same box connected thru a virtual switch
16:24
i have googled for hours and found nothing
16:26
<bricode>
I don't have much experience with PXE and VM's. jammcq may have more for you if he's around.
16:26
<cliebow_>
but not if you spam the channel..we all work for a living..
16:26
<nonsparker>
i have installed ltsp on an ubuntu machine and it worked fine
16:27
Yeah I do to
16:27
that is what I'm doing now
16:28
is there anything in the dhcpd.conf or any other config files that would make this happen?
16:30
<cliebow_>
you can use pastebot.ltsp.org to paste your dhcpd.conf..10 to 1 it has summat to do with vm..
16:30
<nonsparker>
does ltsp and vm not play nice?
16:31
<cliebow_>
well jammcq ids authority on that..
16:31
<nonsparker>
ok well
16:31
thank you very much for all your help
16:32
when is the best time to come on here and not have to spam to get a response?
16:32tiagovaz has quit IRC
16:33
<nonsparker>
are most people on the east coas?
16:33
t
16:33
<bricode>
Most people check in here during the day to see what's up and leave an IRC window open.
16:33
<nonsparker>
ahhh ok
16:33
<bricode>
People are from all over, but Eastern, or Europe.
16:33
<nonsparker>
thanks
16:34
<bricode>
Eastern, North America that is.
16:34
<cliebow_>
spamming is counter productive...just pisses people off..
16:34
<nonsparker>
ok
16:34
ok I won't do it again
16:34
thank you for your help!
16:35
<bricode>
nonsparker: Here's a hint from Linuxgazette: Try arp -d $IPADDR on the Linux side of things. Then try running tcpdump -e -v to watch the ARPs
16:35
Make sure that your virtual client's MAC address always gets a certain IP address, and you can monitor things to make sure they're happening correctly.
16:35
Unfortunately that's the only lead I can provide.
16:36
<nonsparker>
ok do you have a link?
16:36
<bricode>
http://linuxgazette.net/103/TWDT.html - it's in the comments.

I just one of those ebox 2300 TCs today!
21:39
small, cool, quiet--pretty nifty
21:39
<vagrantc>
jammcq: i brought that little thin-client you gave me to use for a demonstration. people were very interested
21:39
<jammcq>
petre: cool. i've heard they don't work so well with LTSP-5
21:39
<petre>
well, sound isn't working with 4.2
21:40
<jammcq>
yeah, you need the sis 7019 audio driver
21:40
it's not in the Linux kernel
21:40
<petre>
lspci says it's a SiS 7019
21:40
<jammcq>
yep, that's what I said
21:41
<petre>
so...I load that with a SMODULE statement?
21:41
<jammcq>
well, you have to get the 7019 driver module. somebody on the list built it
21:42
<petre>
that was my next question: where do I get the driver?
21:42
is it on the wiki?
21:42
<jammcq>
hmm, dunno
21:42
a quick search would tell yo uthat

21:46
<petre>
found the driver on the wiki!
21:47
jammcq: we're having NCLS at a college this year

Grr. Silly router.
22:03
I run (as root) chroot /opt/ltsp and get "cannot run command /bin/bash: no such file or directory"
22:10
<vagrantc>
bricode: you probably want chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
22:10
where i386 is the architecture you are running
22:11
<bricode_>
vagrantc: Same deal with that path.

It's as if my chroot environment doesn't have a PATH or something.
22:12
<jammcq>
bricode_: why are you running it like that?
22:12
you want /opt/ltsp/i386, not /opt/ltsp
22:12
or whatever your directory is called
22:13
<vagrantc>
