Hello there
03:05
anybody home?

<rjester>
let me ask anyway : I have LTSP installed on SLES 10. Everything is working just lovely except the CDrom on the thin client. It is a USB cdrom. when i plug it in, I can see it is detected on the thin client, and the little new Desktop icon appears - but when I double click on it , it is empty. if i mount it manually thru the console, I can see it on the console but not on the GUI - aahhhh - so any advice would be just darling....thanks

pere: do you know if there's a quick way of contacting Kurt Gramlich? irc, phone, etc
05:51
<pere>
Riddell: email is most reliably. irc works some times, and phone is not too easy.
05:51
Riddell: do you have his email address? He is k4x on irc.debian.org.
05:52
<Riddell>
pere: been e-mailing him all week
05:52

08:56
<str4nd>
hmm, i'll try put it on.. tomorrow
08:56
<envite>
as an example (I'm leaving the office)
08:56
create a custom X conf file
08:56
pass it to the ws
08:56
and try again
08:57
of course, a X conf file with a working GLX conf and be sure that the needed modules are available in the ltsp environment the client runs in
08:57

I'm having reproducible xorg and firefox crashes using a Dell GX110 i810 thin client. I've read that this is caused by not allocating enough memory to the integrated i810 video, but I haven't found a X_VIDEORAM setting that works for me. Anyone have time to help me troubleshoot?

how can I know dhcp's actives leases?
10:58
hi all
10:58
I suppose its a good way to know what temrinals are powered on?
11:01
<cyberorg>
irule: cat /var/lib/dhcp/db/dhcpd.leases
11:01
<sepski>
irule, i think arp -an or ps aux | grep ltsp is easier

hi everyone
12:45
<pscheie>
hi MrNobody
12:46
<MrNobody>
I just couldnt convice my teacher to change the projetc.... :(
12:46
<pscheie>
did he get the email that sbalneav sent?
12:47
<MrNobody>
I think he did but he did'nt mention it.
12:48
<pscheie>
someone else with the same assignment popped in here the other day
12:48
presumably a classmate of yours
12:49
<MrNobody>
maybe. I dont believe anyone else in the world have such assignment but us ...
12:50
<pscheie>
what's the assignment again? LTSP 3 on Red Hat 7.3 or some such?
12:50
<MrNobody>
LTSP 3 on red hat 9.0
12:50
<Guaraldo>
MrNobody: Witch assigment???
12:51
<MrNobody>
I have made some progress on it I have the kernel loaded on the client using a boot cd from rom-o-matic
12:51
but I am having problems when NFS tries to mount the pivot_root
12:51
I just get NFS: server not responding ... still trying. after the kernel is loaded and DHCP assigns an IP.
12:52
<cyberorg>
wow, where do they use red hat 9?
12:52
<MrNobody>
I checked the exports file and the showmount command
12:52
cyberorg:it is just a stupid assignment I got.
12:53
<cliebow_>
MrNobody, is nfs and portmap running?
12:53
<pscheie>
what if you boot a knoppix disk in the client, so you have a full OS, and then try manually mounting one of the nfs exports from the server?
12:53
<cyberorg>
we have some colleges in india still using/teaching rh 9
12:53muh2000_ has quit IRC

pscheie, the bondi is running in feisty
12:54
<pscheie>
cool! 128MB RAM?
12:54
<MrNobody>
I havent tried that. how can I do that manually?
12:54
<cliebow_>
yrp
12:54
heh
12:54
<pscheie>
from the live cd or installed?
12:54
<cliebow_>
MrNobody, first on server...showmount -e
12:55
<Guaraldo>
MrNobody: services nfs start
12:55
MrNobody: services portmap start
12:55
<cliebow_>
service nfs start..but showmount should show that
12:55
<MrNobody>
services nfs and portmap are running
12:56
<cliebow_>
showmount -e
12:56cyberorg has left #ltsp
12:56
<MrNobody>
showmount 192.168.0.254 -e //works ok (192.168.0.254 is the ip of the server)
12:56
my /etc/exports file is as follows : /var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
12:56
/opt/ltsp/i386 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
12:57
is that ok? or 192.168.0.0 should be changed to the server IP?
12:57
<pscheie>
no, you want it exported to the whole 192.168.0.0 network
12:57
<cliebow_>
seems ok
12:57
<pscheie>
IOW, yes it's okay as it is
12:58
<MrNobody>
if I check /var/log/messages when the client is trying to mount the filesystem I get the following: rpc.mountd requesting mount from 192.168.0.10
12:58
<pscheie>
have you tried turning iptables off?
12:58
<cliebow_>
lets 0.10?
12:58
<Guaraldo>
MrNobody:
12:58
/opt/ltsp-4.2 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,sync)
12:58
/var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,async)
12:59
<cliebow_>
MrNobody, your root file system is /opt/ltsp/i386 right?
12:59
<Guaraldo>
MrNobody: Good try to see iptables...
12:59
<MrNobody>
cliebow:0.10 is the IP assigned by DHCP to the client
12:59
<cliebow_>
good
12:59
<MrNobody>
cliebow:right
13:00
pscheie:I will try to turn them off and see what happens
13:00
<cliebow_>
i guess id service nfs restart service portmap restart and reboot the client
13:00
what kernel by the way?
13:00
<MrNobody>
I have also manually added the following line to /etc/hosts.allow: mountd: 192.168.0.10
13:00
<pscheie>
I mention it because it frequently interferes with NFS on my RH8/LTSP 3 box
13:01
<MrNobody>
pscheie: nice tip :) so I will turn it off
13:01
<cliebow_>
oiptables..and check hosts.allow and deny
13:02
is the network switched..crossover..hubs?
13:02
<MrNobody>
I have a crossover cable between 2 pc I know that it works because I boot knoppix and ping my server without any problems
13:03plamengr has joined #ltsp
13:03
<cliebow_>
ok..
13:03
<MrNobody>
is ok that my /etc/hosts file only has one line with 127.0.0.0 localhost... ?
13:04
<pscheie>
usually /etc/hosts has names and numbers for the whole 192.168.0.x subnet
13:04
not sure if it's mandatory or not
13:05
<MrNobody>
I will write them one by one to see if it helps
13:05
<cliebow_>
pscheie:you get my previous on Bondi?
13:05
<MrNobody>
and bout hosts.allow and hosts.deny I need to write every single IP in the subnet too?
13:06
<pscheie>
that it's working? that it's 128MB RAM? yes; that it's from the live CD or installed? no
13:07
<cliebow_>
that is ltsp
13:07
i dont have a fir cdrom to try the live one
13:08
<MrNobody>
just one last question. the problem in NFS doesnt have anything to do with my etherboot cd... I mean if it boots and loads the kernel that means I have the right image ???
13:08
<cliebow_>
yes
13:08
<pscheie>
correct
13:09
<cliebow_>
once the kernel is down you can take the floppy out..
13:09
<pscheie>
cliebow_: "fir" cdrom?
13:09
<MrNobody>
thanks a lot guys you were really helpful :)
13:10
<cliebow_>
fir
13:10
Balls!
13:10
fit
13:10
this machine is Very downwardly mobilee
13:10
<pscheie>
so how did you install it without a cdrom drive?
13:11
<cliebow_>
it is ltsp
13:11
<pscheie>
oh, as a client?
13:11
<cliebow_>
no floppy..no hard drive..no cdrom
13:11
yes
13:11
<pscheie>
ah, got it
13:11
does sound work?
13:11
(hoping against hope)
13:12
<cliebow_>
hmm let me plug one in
13:15
well.i didnt hear aanything on boot
13:17
<pscheie>
shouldn't it make the 'ta da' sound when you first turn it on, long before you get to loading an OS?
13:17
<cliebow_>
it does a tada..but that doesnt come out of the speakers
13:19
cant ssh in to see what is loaded..
13:19
<pscheie>
Ctrl-F2?
13:20
<cliebow_>
nope..i could add an lts.conf
13:20
<sutula>
ctrl-alt-F2 ?
13:20
<cliebow_>
nope
13:21
<pscheie>
to use an lts.conf, do you have to do anything besides create the file? any other toggles to set?
13:21
<cliebow_>
nope
13:22
<pscheie>
sounds fairly easy; so, create one so we can see what lsmod and lspci say
13:28
<cliebow_>
hmm screen_02=shell is there..ahhh..but no obvious sound modules
13:28
pcilynx maybe?
13:29
nope
13:30
nothing in lspci..
13:30
<sutula>
cliebow: /proc/asound ?
13:30
<pscheie>
lspci just scans the bus, right? should at least show the sound hardware (?)
13:30
<cliebow_>
you'd thinkso
13:33
sutula..look in a sec..

video..sorry

cliebow: I'm paying attention because I don't have sound working yet on my clients. The kernel supports the hardware (at least what's in /proc/asound looks reasonable) but udev isn't creating reasonable /dev files...haven't worked on it further yet
14:00

hi! im using ubuntu 7.04. ive followed the doc for installing ltsp in ubuntu 7.04 but dhcpserver refuses to start :( says no active subnet declaration for eth0. the thing is that its not eth0 which im planning to use to connect to clients. i need eht1 for that purpose. ive edited /etc/init.d/dhcp cause i saw it was not using the dhcpd.conf under /etc/ltsp. but doing tail -f /var/log/daemon.log i get the same result. any ideas?
14:18Guarald1 has joined #ltsp
14:19
<sepski>
pablo-uy-mvd, hmm check /etc/default/dhcp3-server
14:19
<cliebow_>
the address your nic has when binding must be within the subnet declaration
14:19
of dhcp or it wont start
14:20plamengr has quit IRC
14:20
<pablo-uy-mvd>
cliebow: how do i check that?
14:21
cliebow: or where do i configure that?
14:21
<cliebow_>
if [ -f /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf ]; then
14:21
CONFIG_FILE=/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
14:21
this in /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server defines which file is read
14:22
it should be defined in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
14:22
for you
14:23
what dooes ifconfig eth1 show for an addy/
14:29Guaraldo has quit IRC

cliebow: ive cheked and my /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server is ok. "CONFIG_FILE=/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf".No ive edited /etc/default/dhcpd.conf and specified to use eth1 instead of eth0 but traing to resatrt dhcp server says "no subnet declaration for eth1"

17:11
<cliebow>
your path is wonky ..
17:12
thomask:you wanna pastebot.ltsp.org your dhcpd.conf

sure
17:12
<cliebow>
jammcq:i mailed you a correction on ppc feisty for the old bondis..

Are there any docs on using a different dhcp server w/ ltsp?
17:15
<jammcq>
moo_bovine: all you need to do is get your 'next-server' and 'root-path' set to point to the correct server
17:15
<moo_bovine>
next-server?
17:17
<jammcq>
yeah, that's how tftp knows where the tftp server is
17:17
<moo_bovine>
ah
17:18
eh, i gotta troubleshoot the 'if' statement for pxe booting
17:18
thanks though, i'll be back to ask more questions and/or thank you more :)
17:18
<jammcq>
k
17:19
<thomask>
jammcq, any ideas?
17:20
<cliebow>
jammcq:the other "feature" is they dont pass a vci..they have to have a reservation
17:20
<jammcq>
thomask: what has changed ?
17:21
<cliebow>
thomask:did you say whar distro?
17:22
<thomask>
someone had me chroot into my /opt/ltsp/i386 file and install something to get my
17:23
x11-vnc working... i'm in kubuntu
17:23
<cliebow>
thtat shohuldnt affect anything in boot..
17:23
<thomask>
i just completely deleted the i386 folder and reinstalled with ltsp-build-client and still no go.
17:24
that's what i thought...
17:24
<jammcq>
thomask: ok, do this: grep filename /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
17:24
<thomask>
filename "pxelinux.0";
17:24
filename "/opt/``ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
17:24
<jammcq>
huh ?
17:24
that ain't right
17:25
<cliebow>
weird alright
17:25
<thomask>
what is grep? and what is wrong? lol
17:25
<cliebow>
those two ticks are wro ng
17:26sbalneav has quit IRC
17:26
<jammcq>
should be: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
17:26
as for grep, try: man grep
17:26
<cliebow>
thomas:you can look at mine if you like
17:27
169.244.2.137/dhcpd.conf
17:27
<thomask>
ok so how do i change it?
17:27
<jammcq>
edit it
17:27
<thomask>
/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf?
17:27
<cliebow>
yes
17:27
<jammcq>
yes
17:27
<cliebow>
both filename statements are wonky
17:28
take out /opt and two ticks
17:28
and restart dhcp
17:28
<jammcq>
no
17:28
that's not enough
17:28
he's missing the whole '/var/lib/tftpboot'
17:29
err
17:29
never mind
17:29
he doesn't need that
17:29
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
17:29
that's what he needs
17:29
and I'm heading to bed

17:31
i just saved then restarted the thin client. do i need to restart the server as well
17:31
?
17:31
<cliebow>
you need to restart dhcp
17:32
<thomask>
oh ok.
17:32
<jammcq>
you need to restart dhcpd
17:32
NO
17:32
you need to restart dhcpd

awesome! works! thanks a bunch! cliebow do you know how to change the edubuntu login screen on my clients?
17:39
<cliebow>
to?
17:39
xdmcp?
17:39
<thomask>
i downloaded another login screen off of gnome-look.org
17:41
<cliebow>
i dont think i can help there..you are using ldm now?
17:42
does ytour server use it?
17:42
<thomask>
whatever comes with ltsp... I use gdm on my server
17:43
<cliebow>
you "could" use xdmcp instead of the whitish ldm login screen by opening gdmsetup..enabling remote logins..restarting gdm by reboooting sergver
17:43
and..
17:44
adding an lts.conf which includes
17:44
[default]
17:45
SCREEN_07=startx

in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc
17:47vykarian has joined #ltsp
17:47
<thomask>
so they see the xdmcp screen instead of the regular ltsp screen? is that what this does?
17:48moo_bovi1e has joined #ltsp
17:50
<cliebow>
yes..cant tell server apart from client
17:52
<thomask>
oh ok... no adverse affects then? it won't be any slower or anything?
17:54moo_bovi1e has quit IRC
17:55
<cliebow>
it wont be quite a s secure as ogra's ldm which is really a frontend for ssh
17:55
<thomask>
is there any way i can have both? security and a nice log in screen?
17:57
<cliebow>
i am not sure if sCREEN_07=startx can be put in lts.conf per workstation..negver tried it..
17:57
you Can put most parameters in per machiine using mac address of said machihne
17:58
<thomask>
in the dhcpd.conf file?
17:58
<cliebow>
no
17:58
in an lts.conf
17:58
i am unsure if the new ubuntu ltsp5 will do as 4.2 did
17:59
<thomask>
i just tried to restart my thin client and it took me to the regular x screen with an x and a screen full of x's no log in screen...
17:59
<cliebow>
but you can look in /usr/share/docs/ltsp-client in your chroot
17:59
gdm is not running...then..yet
17:59
did you use gdmsetup to enable remote login?
18:00moo_bovine has quit IRC
18:00

yes it was already enabled i did it a few days ago

doesn't show anything
18:05
i have it set to listen on udp 177
18:06
it's been set as same as local under remote
18:07
should i do reboooting sergver again?

another quick question. Is there any way to log into my gui xdmcp session from a windows box?
18:25
<vykarian>
yeah
18:25
search xming or xmanager
18:25
xmanager 1.3.9
18:26
<thomask>
awesome vykarian thanks. which should i use xming or xmanager
18:27
<vykarian>
at my company some guys were evaluating those
18:27
i guess xmanager is a very nice program
18:27
but its shareware
18:27
so I told them to find another in GPL
18:27
they told me about xming, but i didn't evaluate that my my own
18:27
<thomask>
ko thanks

18:52
<thomask>
cliebow what is nx?
18:52
<cliebow>
Awesome
18:53
a highly encrypted x session over an (encrypted )ssh connectiton
18:53
and the ubuntu install is quite..easy
18:54
if you want to look in tomorrw i can give you an addendum to sdources.list and links to info
18:54
prob it is on wiki.ltsp.org already
19:02

ok that'd be great!

cliebow why wouldn't people use freenx instead of ltsp? it seems that it would be possible to make the clients pxe into freenx. It seems like a better alternative
19:32
<cliebow>
it is hard onn the sergver all that encryptio for one.
19:33
there is a mod Gadi built to give an nx login from ltsp
19:34
<thomask>
oh i see. I installed xming on my windows box and i see the log in and put in my username and password and get nothing but a blank window.
19:34
<cliebow>
ltsp is about thin client..ltsp will boot you to a minimal x on any client from whence you could use nx
19:34
or even vnc..or rdesktop
19:35
<thomask>
i'll keep trying
19:35
<cliebow>
or the regular server login
19:35
me too
19:35
<thomask>
also i'm interested in the lts.conf file you had me modify. I'm trying to figure out what it did to fix my problem and why it isn't like that by default because it makes it look a lot nicer...
19:36
<cliebow>
security
19:36
everything before ltsp5 was xdmcp
19:36
and ldm will look better and better as time goes on..and be faster..
19:37
ogra is already working on this
19:37
<thomask>
oh ok. so i just undid the security updates that ltsp5 implemented...
19:37
<cliebow>
boot times will be increasingly short..
19:37
which is ok in some cases (like mine)
19:37
<thomask>
how does this make it less secure?
19:37
<cliebow>
it is all about choice..
19:38
<thomask>
should i be worried about the security?
19:38
<cliebow>
i think an experienced hacker could take oveer\
19:38
nfs is inherently insecure..there is a lot of work being done there as well
19:38
<thomask>
ok got to go i'll talk to you tomorrow. thanks a bunch for your help!

I'm rebuilding our LTSP server. The old one wouldn't boot anymore after hotplugging some IDE drives with a USB adaptor. And I also shut down the system
23:48
uncleanly. Was a Ubuntu 6.10 system. Now I'm setting up a 7.04. Home directories were over NFS
23:48
so it's not such a big deal.
