FuL|OUT: What kind of NIC do you have in the server?
08:42
And do you have a hub or a switch that you're connecting the terminals too.
08:42
<ogra>
and how many dhcp servers do you run in that network segment ?
08:42
<sbalneav>
If you're dropping UDP packets, that can be a problem.
08:43
<ogra>
concurring dchp servers can cause that as well ...

So Edubuntu isn't working out for me at the office. The OS is slow and buggy, so I'm going with ye olde ubuntu.
09:15
anyone know my best bet for a setup on feisty?
09:15
I'm not sure what the correct package is, whether it's in the repos, etc
09:24
<yanu>
all are in the repos
09:24
apt-cache search ltsp
09:24
do not install ltsp-client on the server!
09:25irule has joined #ltsp
09:26
<rossman_>
so I should install anything that is not client? or is there a basic command like "apt-get install ltsp" that will do?
09:27
<ogra_>
rossman_, there is no differencer at all between ubuntu and edubuntu wrt ltsp
09:27ccjoe has joined #ltsp
09:27
<rossman_>
but edubuntu had it installed and configured by default and ubuntu doesn't seem to
09:27
<ogra_>
rossman_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
09:28
no, ubuntu doesnt
09:28
but the ltsp and the setup are identical
09:28
<rossman_>
I haven't installed ltsp since I had to do it from source.
09:28
<sbalneav>
rossman_: What was slow and/or buggy?
09:28
<rossman_>
I think I can manage, but I wanted ot make sure I didn't bungle somehting basic
09:28
edubuntu was
09:28
<ogra>
what about it is slow/buggy ?
09:29
<rossman_>
the ltsp install ran poorly, but even the server is not running smoothly
09:29
I may have had a bad install, not sure
09:29
<ogra>
in which sense ?
09:29
did you have any errors ?
09:29
<rossman_>
no, save the greeter crashing all the time, but some googling told me that this is a common error in edubuntu
09:29
not errors, just sligishness
09:29
slugishness, even
09:29
<ogra>
crashing greeter ?
09:30* ogra never heard of that
09:30
<rossman_>
huh. It runs the first time i boot and then it crashes every single time.
09:30
<ogra>
neither is there any bug open about it in launchpad
09:30
<rossman_>
I also could not force my custom greeter to display on the terminals no matter what I did
09:30
and It's not like I've never done it before
09:30
really?
09:30
let me see if I can find a link
09:31
<ogra>
well, its to late anyway, i'm finishing my day since its my GFs b-day and final freeze takes effect tomorrow
09:31
but since many many people tested feisty the last days and didnt report such stuff here ....
09:32
<rossman_>
oh! No, that was in the dapper version od edubuntu
09:32
<ogra>
()or in launchpad)
09:32
<rossman_>
not feisty
09:32
sorry
09:32
<ogra>
ah
09:32
<rossman_>
no, so far feisty is golden
09:32
<ogra>
well, i didnt have any reports in dapper either ...
09:32
<rossman_>
sorry
09:33
<ogra>
make sure to have the latest ltsp-server package installed, yesterdays build brought enormous bootime speedups
09:33
<rossman_>
maybe it's not as common as I'd thought, then

sbalneav: you using slapd in feisty yet?
11:08
<sbalneav>
cliebow_: No, I'm not. Troubles?
11:10
<cliebow_>
no i guess i am ok for now...
11:11
slapadd took quite a while
11:24rossman_ has joined #ltsp
11:25
<rossman_>
so feisty is up. i think ltsp is installed (ran ltsp-build-client) but I'mnot sure what to do next if anything? Just fire up dhcp3 and plug a thin client in? or is there more ot it than that?
11:28
<cliebow_>
give it a try..might want to just check dhcp is running
11:33
<rossman_>
thanks
11:35
is there a file I can edit do that this server will only accept one mac address as a connection?
11:36
I don't want to mess up anyone who reboots while I'm testing
11:37
<cliebow_>
you could eliminate dynamic addresses..and hard code one..but remember you will have grief if using two dhcp servers on one network
11:38
<vagrantc>
you'll have to tell the other dhcp server not to give dhcp requests to that address, too.
11:38
<rossman_>
hmm . . . good point
11:38
that sounds like a pain in the butt
11:39
any way to tell which dhcp server it will grab if 2 are available?
11:39
<vagrantc>
probably a good headache, too.
11:39
whichever responds first
11:39
<rossman_>
so I could just keep rebooting till I hit it?
11:39
<vagrantc>
and then hope the second dhcp request gets the same one ... because each boot does 2 dhcp requests
11:40
<rossman_>
ahh . . . I'll just wait till the weekend, then
11:40* vagrantc adds splitting to headache
11:40
<rossman_>
heh
11:41
<vagrantc>
the simplest way would be to install a second NIC in your LTSP server, or to modify the existing DHCP server to give your client the right options
11:41
2 DHCP servers is madness.
11:41
<cliebow_>
rossman:what Is your other dhcp server? router? winboxen?
11:45
anyone have a quick and dirty to instal jre?
11:49
<rossman_>
no, it's my other ltsp server
11:49
running edubuntu
11:49
the quick and dirty jre install is automatix
11:49
easiest way
11:49
or automatix 2

how do you tell all terminals to use 1024x768 resolution in ltsp5? I tried X_MODE_0 in lts.conf to no apparent effect
14:00
<sbalneav>

sbalneav: 1280x1024 is what it defaults to

is that X_HORZ or was the ... supposed to indicate an extension of that? I don't see any X_HOR (or similar) in Debian's sample lts.conf
14:09
<sbalneav>
try setting X_HORZSYNC = 25-70, X_VERTREFRESH = 30-65

<sbalneav>

Yeah, looks like X is dying on the workstation.
21:13
What kind of thin client is it?
21:13
<lui1>
486 12mb
21:14
isa nic
21:15
<sbalneav>
12 megabyte?
21:15
<lui1>
yes
21:15
<sbalneav>
Thats your problem
21:16
Have nfs swap enabled?
21:16
<lui1>
yes
21:16
64 mb
21:16
<sbalneav>
I'm still thinking it's too little ram
21:16
<lui1>
but
21:17
<sbalneav>
Usually you need at least 16 megs. What kind of video card is in it?
21:17
<lui1>
it was working fine with mandrake 10.0
21:17
and i do not remember what version of ltsp
21:17
<sbalneav>
ltsp 4.1 is old old old.
21:18
Is the Mandriva running Xorg? Or XFree86 still?
21:18
because ltsp 4.1 was still using Xfree86 i beleive.

<lui1>
ummm
21:19
the server run Xorg
21:19elifed has joined #ltsp
21:19
<lui1>
but the terminal works on Xfree
21:20
<sbalneav>
I'd day that's a problem as well.
21:20elifed has quit IRC
21:20
<sbalneav>
Unless you can update the terminal to something a little better than a 486 12 megs, you'd be better to stay with the older mandrake.
21:21
<lui1>
Ok
21:21
I will do it
21:21
and then i will tell you
21:22
thanks
