<estong_>
castaway's findings on ltsp5 still holds on my install today - "workstation will connect only intermittently -- or never again"
07:55
workstation will hang, dispensing a "cannot find file" error.
07:56
"error is a result of NFS timing-out because it has lost the location of the kernel file that is to be copied to the workstation"
07:56
and finally he says, "In summary, although LTSP 5 is included in Etch, installation bugs prove it is still unstable experimental software. LTSP 5 is best left for expert use.
07:56
"
07:56
obviously, i am not an ltsp expert.
07:58
the NFS issue has not been resolved, right?

anyone have pointers to how i can get flash sound working on client vs. playing client audio on server?

<manuberro>
hi
08:19
Is there something special to do to use scanners with ltsp5?
08:20
<Guaraldo>
manuberro: I never heard that's possible... Gadi?
08:22
<Gadi>
manuberro: you would need to set it up by hand, but it is of course possible
08:22
<manuberro>
It was working with ltsp4.2
08:23
<Gadi>
its not an option by default
08:23
<manuberro>
is there documentation somewhere?
08:23
<Gadi>
but, chroot apt-get install netkit-inetd sane
08:24
then read: man sane to learn how to make scanners available to the network
08:24
its all in the sane documentation
08:25
<manuberro>
thanks, I try this now
08:25
<Gadi>
you just want to run sane from inetd on the thin client
08:25
so if the server connects to the saned port, saned will start on the thin client and serve up the scanner
08:27
<manuberro>
except netkit-inetd, I had already activated sane to work with network
08:27
but I use xinetd. Is this usable ?
08:29
scanimage -L show my scanner on the client console
08:29
<Gadi>
manuberro: by default, the chroot uses neither
08:29
if you are on ubuntu/debian, prolly better to use inetd (as this is the standard and in the main repository)
08:30
you will also need to add "sane-port 6566/tcp" to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/services
08:31
<manuberro>
I have activated a sane-port file in /etc/xinetd.d/ and /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/services
08:31
(soory, I'm on Ubuntu feisty)
08:31
<Gadi>
the /etc/xinetd.d/ is irrelevant
08:31
<manuberro>
should nmap show the open port ?
08:31
<Gadi>
you want saned to start *on the thin client*
08:31
not on the server
08:32
<manuberro>
sorry, I do all this actions on the chroot
08:32
<Gadi>
the only thing the server needs is a frontend to sane
08:32
ah, ok
08:32
yeah, everything in the chroot
08:33
then, on the server you just need to tell sane to connect to the thin client
08:33
I used to do this by setting SANE_NET_HOSTS to the thin client IP on login
08:34
<manuberro>
/etc/sane.d/saned.conf allready modified
08:34
to integrate client's IP
08:35
should nmap show the open port for sane?
08:35
<Gadi>
no, but you should be able to telnet to the port
08:35
<manuberro>
I try this
08:36benplaut has quit IRC
08:36
<manuberro>
that's work
08:37
then scanimage on the server should find the scanner, right ?
08:40
<Gadi>
try doing: SANE_NET_HOSTS=<clientIP> xsane
08:42
<manuberro>
no scanner found :(
08:43
which package should I install to have inetd ? I find only xinetd
08:45
<Gadi>
netkit-inetd
08:45
but dont install both at once
08:47
<manuberro>
I'll reinstall to use a clean installation, because lot of try can cause my problem

Gadi: new installation, folow your instructions, still have same problem
09:29
xsane can't find scanner
09:29
<Gadi>
can you telnet to the port?
09:30
<manuberro>
yes
09:30
<Gadi>
and scanImage on the shell on the client finds the scanner?
09:31
<manuberro>
Oh, no. I was hable on my first test
09:31
yes, scanimage on client find it
09:31
but no telnet now
09:31
<Gadi>
is /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/inetd.conf set up?
09:32
you need to add a line to tell it to start saned
09:32
<manuberro>
yes, with : sane stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/saned saned
09:33
/usr/sbin/saned exits and I can start it manually
09:34
telnet -> Connection closed by foreign host
09:34
/etc/init.d/inetd restart says ok
09:35
<Gadi>
try: sane-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/saned

Hi all! may I ask a question about mouse (doesn't work!) on LTSP on Ubuntu 7.04?
11:10
<sbalneav>
What type of mouse is it?
11:11
<max_>
it's a PS/2
11:11
It hangs, doesn't move when X starts
11:11
I've in lts.conf "IMPS/2"
11:12
<sbalneav>
Please paste your lts.conf file to the pastebin
11:12
!pastebin
11:12
<ltspbot>
sbalneav: Error: "pastebin" is not a valid command.
11:12
<sbalneav>
err pastebot
11:12
!pastebot

<ltspbot>
sbalneav: "pastebot" is The LTSP pastebot is at http://pastebot.ltsp.org. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebot, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. A link to the content will be pasted in the channel.
11:13
<max_>
ok...
11:15
sorry, can't connect to pastebot :(
11:15
<sbalneav>
Works for me.
11:15
<max_>
there is just this: X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL="IMPS/2" and X_MOUSE_DEVICE="/dev/input/mice"
11:16
<sbalneav>
Try X_MOUSE_DEVICE=/dev/psaux
11:16
<max_>
ok
11:16
can i just restart X server or reboot the thin client?
11:17
<sbalneav>
I'd reboot the client/
11:17
<max_>
ok

hello !!
11:17

hi
11:17
<sbalneav>
Hello
11:18
<andresmujica>
i need some tips to get a bcm4401 ethernet card working as a thin client
11:18
it seems that the current kernel (2.6.20) doesn' t include it
11:18
<sbalneav>
Does it have a driver at all?
11:19
<max_>
it's b44 I think
11:19
b44.ko
11:19
with psaux the mouse doen't work too :(
11:20
<sbalneav>
Does a USB mouse work?
11:20
<max_>
in the /dev ps aux
11:20
(oops
11:20
?ve not an usb mouse here...
11:21
i don't know
11:21
<sbalneav>
Seems like something doesn't like the psaux port.
11:21
<Gadi>
max_: what if you remove the mose device entirely?
11:21
s/mose/mouse/
11:22
and the protocol
11:22
<max_>
do you mean phisically remove? or sw remove ?
11:22
<Gadi>
comment out in lts.conf
11:22
<max_>
ok
11:22
<Gadi>
ltsp5 should autodetect all that
11:22
<max_>
when I started there was no entry for the mouse in lts.conf
11:23
but it doen't worked: so I put that two entry
11:23
entries...
11:23
<Gadi>
are you sure the mouse isnt broken?
11:24
<max_>
I changed it with another one!
11:24
<Gadi>
and its not plugged into the keyboard's PS/2 port?
11:24
<max_>
the keyboard works
11:24
<Gadi>
ok
11:25
<sbalneav>
Have you checked to see if this computer works with a regular linux?
11:25
<max_>
no
11:25
<sbalneav>
i.e. if the mouse works if you boot knoppixs, etc
11:25
<max_>
now there is a win98
11:25
no, I've to try...
11:25
ok, I'll try and tell you
11:25
thanks :9
11:28
<Gadi>
sbalneav: btw, dont try logging in with that dash version - LDM_ASKPASS doesn't work because I'm still attached to the tty
11:28
it'll just hang
11:28
but, you can get the idea of speed to come up from boot
11:29* Gadi likes the idea of an easily scriptable ldm , if it works
11:30
<kchiefs>
i am interested in starting an english language forum for ltsp...any thoughts?
11:32
<max_>
Yes, I started a knoppix and the mouse works
11:32mistik1 has quit IRC
11:33
<Gadi>
max_: in knoppix look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see how the mouse device is called
11:33
<max_>
ok
11:34
"PS/2" on /dev/mouse
11:35mistik1 has joined #ltsp

Emulate3Buttons
11:35
<Gadi>
yeah, but Ubuntu doesn't use /dev/mouse afaik
11:36
try; ls -l /dev/mouse
11:36
<max_>
yes, but on my lts.conf I had /dev/input/mice
11:36
<sbalneav>
kchiefs: We have the mailing list
11:36
<Gadi>
see if it is a symlink
11:36
<max_>
it's knoppix that uses /dev/mouse
11:36
<Gadi>
right, on knoppix, see if /dev/mouse is a symlink
11:36
<kchiefs>
sbalneav: ok..was just offering since there is not a forum for english but np
11:36
<max_>
it links to psaux
11:36
/dev/psaux
11:37
<Gadi>
ah, so /dev/psaux should have worked
11:37
<max_>
it seems
11:37
<sbalneav>
Gadi: I'm going to push hard this afternoon, and see if I can get a bzr branch up for the C ldm.
11:37
<Gadi>
sbalneav: cool - ur that close?
11:37
<sbalneav>
It won't be fully functional.
11:37
<Gadi>
aw, man!
11:37
<sbalneav>
Well, I have the ssh scripting part mostly done.
11:37
<Gadi>
;)
11:38
ah, I should prolly ask you this:
11:38
<sbalneav>
greeter interaction isn't there yet, so what you'll have to do to test is install the xdialog package under the chroot.
11:38
<Gadi>
would it have helped to just include the libs/headers from ssh directly?
11:38
<sbalneav>
but it'll be something to start people debugging
11:39
Not really, seeing as how our interactions with ssh are purely through a pty.
11:39
the .po's might be useful, but for the login part, I'm manually setting LC_ALL=C
11:39
so that seems workable.
11:39
<Gadi>
gotcha - just thought it might help control the ssh handshake better
11:39
instead of responding to expected questions
11:40
<sbalneav>
yeah, I thought so too, at first.
11:40
we need to get network auth down to the client, then we can just initiate a pam session.
11:40
which will be much easier.
11:40
next time :)
11:40
<Gadi>
pheh
11:40
im anti-pam on client
11:41
<sbalneav>
Really?
11:41
<Gadi>
just as I am anti-cups on client
11:41
<mistik1>
why?
11:41
<Gadi>
adds maintenance where none is required
11:42
<mistik1>
care to elaborate?
11:42
<Gadi>
my client should not have to integrate with a network auth system
11:42
my client should need know nothing about users
11:42
its a piece of hardware connecting to another piece of hardware
11:42
once I add users to it, I open a can of worms
11:43
especially if all I want to do is log in
11:43
I can understand it for local apps, maybe
11:43
but not to log into an application server
11:43
why should I have to configure network auth on the server *and* the client?
11:44
besides, I get all the pam goodness for free from the server when I auth through ssh
11:45
I would just use ssh for everything
11:45
<max_>
Sorry, this is now my lts.conf (the mouse doesn't work) : http://pastebin.4programmers.net/2510
11:46
<mistik1>
when using ssh do we not run into the age old problem of having the auth in the open?
11:47Q-FUNK has quit IRC
11:48
<Gadi>
mistik1: I dont understand
11:49
if you cant login to the server through ldm, its because pam on the server did not auth the ssh request
11:49
nothing gets copied/passed anywhere
11:49
<mistik1>
Well the ssh keys (if such are in use) are available publicly on the insecure NFS share, are they not?
11:49
<Gadi>
they are not used
11:50
un/pw are collected by ldm
11:50
no ssh keys necessary
11:50
<mistik1>
ok
11:50
<Gadi>
how ya doing, mistik1, btw? :)
11:50
<mistik1>
Well if that's gone now, that solves my biggest roblem with that old method
11:51
Gadi: I'm good, You?
11:51
<gloin>
question: I'm doing a ltsp build on an ubuntu 6.06 box using ltsp-build-client, and would like to build this with a VERY minimal install: no x11, for example. What's the best path to this?
11:51
<Gadi>
good. I keep wondering when ur really on and when ur computer is ;)
11:51* gloin finally sorted out the PXE problems
11:52
<mistik1>
Well that's easy, My computer is always on ;-)
11:52

gloin: check out: /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/
11:52
its a plugin system
11:52

you can ceate ur own
11:52

11:53

locate ltsp-build-client|grep plugins
11:53
ah - it may be an older version?
11:53
not sure
11:54
<gloin>
how would I check?
11:54
no plugins dir, only the file in sbin and the man page
11:55
<Gadi>
hmm
11:55* gloin reckons it's time for dist-upgrade

hi, after changing the ip settings on my server, my diskless clients can't boot using pxe anymore.. i get a TFTP open timeout.. any ideas?
12:00
<sbalneav>
Did you adjust your dhcpd.conf file to reflect the changes in the server's ip?
12:01
<Thumann>
i'm using a windows dhcp server
12:01
adjusted the dhcp options on that one
12:01
root path etc.
12:01
options 17 and 67
12:02
<sbalneav>
I don't know anything about Windows dhcp server. But I'd say you've either got a problem with your dhcp, or you need to restart tftp on the server.
12:02
Heading out for lunch. Be back in an hour.

Now I'm a bit confused about LTSP architecture...
12:05
the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration is used just when starting and connecting to the ltsp server? Right?
12:05
So when I cat /etc/x11/xorg.conf from the thin client I really see the server config..
12:05
Where can I see a log of what happens? In the /opt/ltsp/i386/var/log dir?
12:08
I've to work with the xorg.conf file in /opt/ltsp to have my mouse work? Or just with lts.conf?

max_: The xorg.conf under the /opt/ltsp chroot is what the thin client will see as /etc/X11/xorg.conf
13:11
<jammcq>
huh?
13:11
<max_>
ok, now it's clear
13:11
(I RTFM :) )
13:11
but in that file there are the correct configs for my mouse
13:12
but the mouse is blocked
13:12
just a pointer in the middle of the screen!
13:13
it is /dev/psaux in /opt/.../xorg.conf
13:13
<jammcq>
xorg.conf gets recreated automatically when the workstation boots. it exists only in ram on the workstation
13:14
<max_>
but after the connection I see the server xorg, right?
13:14
<jammcq>
depends on how you are looking
13:14
<sbalneav>
He was a bit confused between /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg.conf, and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
13:14
<jammcq>
if you set SCREEN_07 = shell
13:14
<max_>
how can I look at the client xorg?
13:14
<jammcq>
you'll get a shell on the terminal and you can look at the thin client xorg.conf file
13:15Thumann has quit IRC
13:15
<jammcq>
but if you get into X, and pop open an xterm, you'll be logged into the server at that point
13:15
<sbalneav>
Well, you you can just set a password in the chroot, and ctl-alt-f1, and login
13:15
without touching the lts.conf.
13:15
That will work too.
13:15
Either way is fine.
13:15
<max_>
a password in the chroot?
13:16
I tried SCREEN_01=shell but I get the login on the server
13:16
shell login
13:17
<sbalneav>
On the server, you can try this:
13:17
<max_>
now I'm trying SCREEN_07
13:17
ok, tell me
13:17
<sbalneav>
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd
13:17
Then enter in a password.
13:18
<max_>
how can get rid of this passwd after this command?
13:18efra has joined #ltsp
13:18
<sbalneav>
Now, when you switch to console F1, you can log into the client with userid root, password = whatever
13:18
oh, sorry, that should be sudo chroot....
13:18
<max_>
ok
13:19
<sbalneav>
just edit the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/shadow, and X out the password for root.
13:21
jammcq: Hey, you see that email I forwarded about the hotel room?
13:21
I haven't seen any response from Marlon yet, so I don't know if it's legit.
13:25
<max_>
I started with SCREEN_07=shell and looked at xorg.conf
13:25
there is only the "Section files"
13:25
nothing more
13:26
is this correct?
13:27
<sbalneav>
Well, no. I think it won't rewrite the xorg.conf file unless X starts
13:27
Try back the way it was, and set the password in the chroot.
13:28
<max_>
I started "startx", then killed it and xorg is the same
13:33
<sbalneav>
Have you set the password in the chroot?
13:33
<max_>
yes, now I'm rebooting the client
13:33
<sbalneav>
ok
13:34
<max_>
ok, in shell 1 I get a login
13:34
<sbalneav>
ok
13:34
<max_>
it's a login on to the server?
13:34
<sbalneav>
No
13:34
<max_>
or the client?
13:34
ok
13:34
<sbalneav>
You're logging into the thin client
13:35
<max_>
and which username/pwd I use?
13:35
on screen 7 I get the shell
13:35
<sbalneav>
root, and whatever passsword you used when you set it with the sudo chroot... command I gave you
13:35
<max_>
directly, without "login:"
13:35
ok
13:35
<sbalneav>
No
13:35
<max_>
I'm in
13:35
<sbalneav>
Put the SCREEN_07=ldm or whatever back
13:36
so that X comes up.
13:36
The login prompt will ALWAYS be on tty1, so even if you have X going, you can ctrl-alt-f1 to a login prompt on the client.
13:36
<max_>
yes, sorry... but now I see xorg.conf and tehre is /dev/input/mice
13:37
<sbalneav>
We want X to come up so we can look at the logs, and see if X complained about the mouse.
13:37
<max_>
ok, sorry, I'm restarting...

hey ogra!

yo
13:53
<scout3r>
sbalneav: i've installed etch and used ltsp-build-client to make the chroot environment and after that i used the localmedia wiki from ltsp.org, and i used the autofs mount scripts
13:53* ogra just tires to do the same nifty stuff he did with squashfs yesterday with nfs now ...
13:53
<sbalneav>
ok, so if I have a source tree already, what's the cmd to bzrify it?
13:53
<ogra>
but nfs just oppses :/
13:53
<scout3r>
the thin client can boot up, i can login, use apps, so the core is working, but i cant mount usb devices
13:54
when i plug one in nothing happens
13:54
<sbalneav>
Which page did you reference?
13:54

13:55
None of it will work with LTSP5 in Debian

13:56

Well, you shouldn't NEED to set it up on 5.0
13:56
ogra: On debian, does the ltspfs stuff install automatically like it does on Ubuntu?
13:56
<rjune>
Well, I have Ubuntu 7.04, getting ready to load it now.
13:56

so it should work out of the box?
13:57

sbalneav, i dont think so

IT WORKS! USB works. But why PS/2 doesn't?
13:57

13:57
<rjune>
becuase USB is the better standard?
13:57

maybe..

go the the debian packaes search page, and see if ltspfs is in Sid.
14:02
5.04 is when it first appeared.

But 7.04's the latest and greatest

i want to install a thin client environment in a production environment, thats why i want to go with debian
14:04

I've got a whole province full of production environments. All running Ubuntu.
14:04
+ some Debian.
14:04
<scout3r>
which version of ubuntu?
14:04
<sbalneav>
Edgy Eft, mostly
14:04
Some Feisty
14:04
<scout3r>
im a bit afraid
14:05
if i have to install ubuntu then LTS only, so 6.06
14:05
<sbalneav>
You won't get localdevices with that version.
14:05
<scout3r>
but i bet it doesnt have ltsp 5.0
14:05
<sbalneav>
but other than that is does worl
14:05
work
14:05
<scout3r>
so what do you suggest?
14:05
maybe go with lenny?
14:06
or just get that single package for etch?
14:06
<sbalneav>
Well, *I'd* suggest Ubuntu, but that's just me.
14:06
I guess it depends on what you need.
14:06
<scout3r>
well, a stable system serving maybe 10-20 clients
14:07
<sbalneav>
Well, seeing as how it doesn't COST you anything to try anything, why not try both Debian Lenny, and Ubuntu Feisty?
14:07

14:09

Give it a try
14:09
It just might work :)
14:09
you could always do an apt-get source, grab the source for ltspfs in Lenny, then just compile it on an etch box.
14:09
that'll work for sure.

sbalneav, you werent here yesterday ... the nbd/squashfs/unionfs solution is easily twice as fast as nfs with the bind_mounts method
14:15
<gonzaloaf_work>
hi, I use ltsp 4.2, why does sometimes I see some client connected to the system with the w command? see this pastebin.... also why I dont see all clients connected with the w command?
14:15
<sbalneav>
ogra_e2300: cool
14:16
<ogra_e2300>
sadly nbd-server isnt as flexible ...
14:16
and indeed you need to regenrate the squashfs after every change
14:16
<sbalneav>
yeah, that'd be kind of sucky
14:16
<ogra_e2300>
well
14:17
<sbalneav>
gonzaloaf_work: not sure.
14:17
<ogra_e2300>
Gadi suggested pulling the lts.conf via tftp
14:17
<sbalneav>
That'd be a good solution.
14:17
<gonzaloaf_work>
sbalneav, wow I thought you had the answer
14:17
<ogra_e2300>
that would wipe out the suckiest bits ... i.e. the regenerating after every config change
14:17
<sbalneav>
it puts the lts.conf file in a yucky place.
14:18
gonzaloaf_work: I'd say it's because your display manager sometimes doesn't register a connection, but seeing as how you haven't told me ANYTHING about what your setup's like, I can't tell you any more than that.
14:19
<gonzaloaf_work>
sbalneav, ok thank yiou
14:20
<ogra_e2300>
sbalneav, the coolest bit in that is, you could use a local diskinstead of the tmpfs mount and just store the delta to the squashfs ... that gains us a half fat client with persistent mode ;)

sbalneav, and on a sidenote, since i added nbd support to initramfs for all that playing around, i booted the e2300 with mem=28M today, works fine if you make nbdswapd create the swapfiles in a tmpfs ;)
14:25

You said that the nbd_server wasn't as flexible?
14:25
What limitations are you running into?

How do I bzrify a source tree?
14:27

just let me know where the branch is
14:27

bzr init, then bzr add the bits I want?
14:27

well, didnt you branch the ltsp tree ?
14:27
<gonzaloaf_work>
sbalneav, I have ltsp 4.2, I have 50 clients connected to the server, I use xfce desktop manager, I use Ubuntu 6.10, what can of additional information do you need?
14:27
<sbalneav>
No, I'm making it a separate package. I thought we said we didn't want binary programs in the ltsp branches
14:27
<ogra>
no, i only want source
14:28
<sbalneav>
I can put it in there if you want.
14:28
<ogra>
buut i want to replace the python wrapper
14:28
if possble in gutsy
14:28
<sbalneav>
Right, well we will, but I thought what would make the most sense would be to have ldm be an installable binaty like ltspfsd
14:29
<ogra>
thats the last slowing down bit we have
14:29
right
14:29
the binary package is built at ltsp build time
14:29
we have the source in one branch but build different binaries from that
14:29
<sbalneav>
OK
14:29
I'll add it there then.
14:30
Which branch of yours should I sync off of?
14:31

the new mainline

The sessreg utility is what registers the session.
14:32
ogra: ok, thx

sbalneav, https://code.launchpad.net/~ltsp-drivers/
14:33
:)
14:33
<sbalneav>
ogra: you're my buddy
14:34
<ogra>
i havent merged the last ubuntu chnages yet
14:34
but vagrant was pretty busy it seems :)
14:35
sbalneav, soo, nbd-server isnt as flexible ...
14:35
we could run it from inted with a dedicated port for every chroot/squashfs
14:35
but that would mean we need some kind of info in the initramfs ...
14:36
i.e. invent a bootparameter or something
14:36
like NBDPORT
14:36
<sbalneav>
That would be easy enough to do.
14:37
<ogra>
hmm, even though, we already knw what we need sinc we know the root-path parameter
14:37
<sbalneav>
i386 on port 9111, ppc on 9112, etc :)
14:37
<ogra>
yeah
14:38
<gonzaloaf_work>
sbalneav, why just dome users?
14:38
<ogra>
so all we need is a translation table that gets built into the initramfs ... hmm
14:38
<gonzaloaf_work>
some*
14:38
<sbalneav>
gonzaloaf_work: No idea. You'd have to figure out why the sessreg doesn't run for some people.
14:38
<ogra>
abd that table should come from inetd.conf of the server
14:38
<sbalneav>
Maybe they have an error in their X setup that it never gets to the post session, etc.
14:38
<jammcq>
sbalneav: you at home or the office?
14:39
<sbalneav>
I'm here at the office!
14:40
<ogra>
hmm, did any of you ever run Xorg -configure ?
14:40
it produces pretty good initial xorg.conf setups
14:40
and its *fast*

so

for building a client without X11 I pretty much just want to look in /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/ for anything that talks about xorg or related, back up that file, and delete the references to xorg in the working files?

hello alls the peoples...
14:55
I am having some trouble to get sound running on my ltsp 4.2 little setup
14:55
running on FC 4
14:55
need to use the mpu401 module
14:56
need some advice on how to debug "sound not working"

sbalneav: I'm still retrieving stuff I removed from the plugins scripts
14:59
<rjune>
howdy gloin
14:59
If I can get LDAP setup properly, I may have to move to ubuntu server side too
15:00
<gloin>
how are local devices coming along with muecow?
15:01
<sbalneav>
They work fine on Ubuntu and Debian.
15:01
<gloin>
right on
15:01
sane?
15:02
<sbalneav>
No, I'm mostly insane.
15:03
<gloin>
heh
15:03
talking about usb scanning support, mainly
15:03
<Gadi>
we all saw that one coming
15:03* gloin is in his CUPS, so it's all good
15:04
<rjune>
sbalneav: but it needs setup. SLES does it automagically
15:04
<Gadi>
gloin, you have to setup sane urself atm
15:04
chroot apt-get install netkit-inetd sane
15:04
<gloin>
Gadi: that's fine - we're doing wonky stuff with it anyhow. Mainly concerned that the usb support works
15:05
<Gadi>
and then adjust the conf files
15:05
gloin: its Ubuntu
15:05
<gloin>
yep
15:05
<Gadi>
if usb works in ubuntu, it'll work in the ubuntu chroot
15:05
<gloin>
ok
15:05
over-the-wire
15:05
woohoo
15:05
<Gadi>
unless you break it with your ltsp-build-client mods ;)

hi - anyone seen this error at boot? "nfsmount: need a path"
15:40
<jammcq>
yeah, you probably are using LTSP-5, but you've included the IP address in the root-path. ltsp-5 doesn't yet support that
15:41
<racter>
jammcq - yeah that's what the google results i was getting said, but i don't have an ip address in my root-path in dhcpd.conf
15:41
<jammcq>
what does your root-path look like?
15:41
<racter>
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"
15:42
the weird thing is that this error is inconsistent; it only happens about 90% of the time
15:42
<sbalneav>
Sounds like you've got two dhcpd servers on the same net.
15:43
<racter>
sbalneav - that's a good tip; i'll check out our setup
15:46
sbalneav - yep! we had a router on the network that was still broadcasting dhcp
15:46
thx

hi anyone knows where can i find a nvidia driver module for recent ltsp kernels? 2.6.19 or 2.6.20 ¿?
17:16jammcq has quit IRC
17:18
<racter>
can i run dhcpd simultaneously for thinclients and as a gateway to connect other machines to the internet?
17:20
<andresmujica>
racter: yes
17:20
<racter>
andresmujica: any tips on how i can configure that?
17:20
or what i need to look at
17:21
<andresmujica>
gimme a sedc
17:23
http://pastebin.ca/551702
17:23
check that it would work for you
17:23
<racter>
thx
17:24
<andresmujica>
replace what you need according to your setup
17:27
<racter>
andresmujica: can you help me see the part of this file that enables regular clients?
17:27
this is pretty similar to what i have now
17:27
<andresmujica>
the if part checks if the TC has pxe support, if not it would send the kernel image.
17:28
so if you want a regular client to get an ip
17:28
just check that it's configured to start by it's hard drive not by the nic card
17:29
<racter>
yeah, it's already up & it has an IP from the server, but it can't see through the server to the internet. the netbooted machines can see the internet though
17:29
<andresmujica>
the second part of the IF works with etherboot
17:29
the part that is needed is: option routers gatewayip;
17:30
so you must check at your server with route -n what is your gateway ip
17:30
and then put this ip at the line mentioned before
17:32
<racter>
so right now i have option routers 192.168.0.1;
17:32
but route -n tells me the actual gateway is 172.16.0.1
17:32
so if i change that will the thin clients still work?
17:35
<andresmujica>
yes beacuse your thin clients go to internet because they're actually the server... and the server goes to internet
17:35
how is your setup
17:35
your server has 2 IP?
17:35
NIC
17:35
i mean?
17:36
<racter>
ya two nic
17:37
one is connected to another router that's connected to a cable modem (and is on the 172.16 subnet)
17:37
the other is connected to the computer lab & running dhcp
17:39
<andresmujica>
ok
17:39
what you need is to enable ip_forward on the kernel
17:39
and apply a NAT rule to your iptables
17:39
<racter>
ok
17:40
i have to recompile the kernel?
17:40
<andresmujica>
so your server can give internet to the another clients
17:40
Nop, you don't
17:40
which distro are you using?
17:41
<racter>
ubuntu
17:41
edubuntu actually
17:42
<andresmujica>
hmmm
17:42
Edubuntu is preconfigured
17:42
let me check a sec

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
17:58
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
17:58
it seems that edubuntu doesn't has a 2 nic by default...
17:59
but i recommend you to check with #edubuntu about this
18:00
with the lines you would get your server giving internet to the fat client users, using your server ip as gateway
18:01
<racter>
andresmujica - what's $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE ? a command to run or an env variable to set?
18:02
<andresmujica>
sorry $IPTABLES should be iptables
18:02
is a comand to execute in a term
18:02
<racter>
got it thx
18:03
<andresmujica>
check your net ... it must be in -s X.X.X.X/X
18:06
<racter>
huh still nothing
18:06
weird
18:07
well i'll ask in #edubuntu
