<timma>
hello
15:31ltspbot` has joined #ltsp
15:31
<jammcq>
timma: what problem are you having?
15:34
<timma>
I am dumb on using ltsp, but I installed syslinux and run ltspcfg. Also, set the client to boot order to the nic (LANDesk which uses PXE). But I how no respone on the client except
15:35
"DHCP MAC ADDR ~~~" "BOOTP...."
15:35
<jammcq>
no need to install syslinux
15:35
<timma>
really
15:35
<jammcq>
nope. all of the pxe stuff you need is included in the ltsp-kernel package
15:36
pxe booting should be VERY simple to set up
15:36
what distro are you using?
15:36
<timma>
Debian 4 stable.
15:37
<jammcq>
ok, where are you seeing 'BOOTP' ?
15:37
<timma>
on the client on booting it up atfer post
15:38
<jammcq>
ok, Landesk actually supports 4 different boot methods. PXE is just one of them. Are you sure you have the Landesk rom configured for PXE ?
15:39
<timma>
Actually I all I did was go into the bios and changed the boot order, nothing else.
15:39
<jammcq>
landesk is the 3com rom, right?
15:39
<timma>
yes
15:40
<jammcq>
ok, I think you need to hit a key, maybe Ctrl-C right after POST
15:40
to get into the Landesk config screen
15:48ltspbot has quit IRC
15:49
<timma>
is PXE-M00 a code?
15:50
<jammcq>
sounds like it, but I don't know what the codes mean. If you are getting that, at least it tells us that you are using PXE
15:51
<timma>
I tried Ctrl-C and even Ctrl-Alt-B but no response
15:51
<jammcq>
ok, but are you getting a PXE-M00 error ?
15:51
<timma>
yes
15:51
<jammcq>
ok, it's prolly configured for PXE. Ok, do you have dhcpd setup ?
15:52muh2000 has quit IRC
15:53Q-FUNK has quit IRC
15:54
<timma>
yes, but I think my config is wrong http://rafb.net/p/idO4lO23.html
15:55
Oh, my tftpboot is on the root not in the /opt/i386/ltsp folder...
15:55
<jammcq>
that's ok
15:56
you are using Debian, so you'll need to add a 'next-server' entry to your dhcpd.conf file
15:56
take a look at this document:
15:56
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DhcpdSiaddr
15:58Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp
15:58
<timma>
any a specific order?
15:59
and just "next-server 192.168.0.254"?
15:59
<vagrantc>
timma: the ltsp-server and ltsp-utils packages are incompatible ... make sure not to use them both.
16:00
<jammcq>
timma: put the line up near the top of the dhcpd.conf file
16:01
<timma>
how do I restart dhcpd?
16:01
<jammcq>
something like: /etc/init.d/dhcpd-server restart
16:01
but... I might have the filename not completely correct
16:01
go look in /etc/init.d for the script name
16:04
<timma>
oh, that's okay I just forgot about the /etc/init.d part
16:04
it will not restart though line 51 or 52 is giving an issue
16:05
vagrantc: what do I need to do uninstall both then reinstall ltsp-server. (How do I configure it then?)
16:06
forgot a bracket.
16:07
<vagrantc>
timma: if you only installed the packages, you should be fine. if you ran ltsp-build-client and then ltspadmin, you may have problems.
16:08
i really wish i had put that conflicts in sooner
16:12
<timma>
vagrantc I did not run ltsp-build-client, just ltspcfg and ltspadmin
16:12
<vagrantc>
timma: ok. you'll use ltsp 4.2 then
16:13
<timma>
jammcq: would you look at http://rafb.net/p/RYVozy10.html
16:14
vagrantc do you mean instead of ltsp 5? I knew that. I am not good with linux administration yet and want to stay with Debian stable. Later I do want to use 5.
16:14
jammcq it says server not found
16:15
the server ip is 192.168.0.167
16:15
<vagrantc>
timma: well, LTSP 5 is in debian etch/stable ... it's the ltsp-server package
16:15
<timma>
?! since when?
16:15
<vagrantc>
since etch released.
16:15
and before ...
16:16
<timma>
so, me using the ltsp-utils makes it 4.2?
16:16
<jammcq>
timma, what did you set next-server to ?
16:16
<timma>
192.168.0.254
16:16
<jammcq>
but your server IP address isn't that
16:16
<vagrantc>
timma: yes, ltsp-utils installs 4.2
16:17
<timma>
maybe I should read the line below
16:17
on the page you gave
16:18greg_g has left #ltsp
16:22
<timma>
Now it is "PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File Not found" http://rafb.net/p/W1KnW216.html
16:24
I know that the tftpboot folder is on / Shouldn't it be in the /opt/ltsp/i386/ folder?
16:24
<jammcq>
timma: no
16:24
do this: ls -l /tftpboot/lts
16:26
<timma>
http://rafb.net/p/SqQkQi95.html
16:26
it has ltsp-1 ltsp-2
16:26
<jammcq>
ok, edit your dhcpd.conf file
16:26
change the 'filename' entry to:
16:26otavio__ has quit IRC
16:26otavio has joined #ltsp
16:27
<jammcq>
"/lts/2.6.20.9-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0"
16:28
<timma>
okay, I was being dumb I thought from reading the docs (v4.1) that just needed what I had.
16:28
<jammcq>
nope
16:28
you may need to adjust your /etc/inetd.conf file too
16:28
which tftpd did you install ?
16:28
(debian has 3)
16:31
<vagrantc>
dpkg -l *tftp* | egrep ^ii
16:32
<timma>
I checked synaptic and it is not tftpd. tftp-hpa version 0.43-1.1
16:32
<jammcq>
tftp-hpa or tftpd-hpa ?
16:33mikkel has quit IRC
16:33
<timma>
http://rafb.net/p/vZCMA226.html inetd.conf
16:34
tftpd-hpa
16:34
sorry
16:34
<jammcq>
ok, in your inetd.conf file, see how the 'tftp' line ends with '/var/lib/tftpboot' ?
16:35
<timma>
yes
16:35
<jammcq>
you either need to change that, or move your kernels to /var/lib/tftpboot
16:36
to be more compatible with LTSP-5, which you might want to upgrade to, I'd suggest moving your kernel.
16:36
try: mv /tftpboot/lts /var/lib/tftpboot
16:36
if it's all the same filesystem, that should succeed
16:38
<timma>
will the /tftpboot/lts change its contents with a new kernel on debian?
16:39
<jammcq>
no, if you install a new ltsp kernel, it won't put it in the right place, but it's easy to move it
16:39
and we aren't releasing new kernels very often for ltsp-4.2
16:40muh2000 has joined #ltsp
16:41
<timma>
would doing this "mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot/ltp" then "ln -s /tftpboot/lts /var/lib/tftpboot/lts" be okay or am I thinking wrong? (for theory?)
16:41
<jammcq>
it should work, if you DON'T do the mkdir
16:43Q-FUNK has quit IRC
16:43
<vagrantc>
some of the tftp servers are fussy about symlinks.
16:46
<timma>
yep, I think the symlink did not work or do I need restart tftp?
16:47otavio has quit IRC
16:47otavio has joined #ltsp
16:47
<timma>
I removed the symlink and then moved the folder, it still does not work.
16:47
<vagrantc>
restart your inetd ...
16:47
invoke-rc.d openbsd-inetd restart
16:47
<jammcq>
he hasn't changed inetd.conf
16:47
so he shouldn't need to restart it
16:48
have you restarted dhcpd since changing the 'filename' entry?
16:48
<vagrantc>
ah, yes.
16:48ccherret1 has joined #ltsp
16:49
<timma>
yes I restarted both just now.
16:50
but the same message
16:50
<jammcq>
ok, do this: ls -lR /var/lib/tftpboot
16:50
and paste that to the pastebot
16:50
and... do this:
16:50
grep filename /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
16:51
<timma>
ls -lR /var/lib/tftpboot
16:52
http://rafb.net/p/hFIdFm34.html
16:53
<jammcq>
and what's your 'filename' set to?
16:53
<timma>
oh, I forgot I changed the filename when I first had this error
16:54ccherret2 has joined #ltsp
16:54
<timma>
now it is /lts/2.6.20.9-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0
16:54
<jammcq>
ok, restart dhcpd, and it should work
16:55
<timma>
TFTP and periods being added
16:56
timed out
16:56
I need to change it in conf
16:56otavio has quit IRC
16:56otavio has joined #ltsp
16:57
<jammcq>
change what?
16:57
<timma>
oh, sorry, was not thinking right.
16:58
"PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout." is printed on two lines
16:59ccherrett has quit IRC
16:59
<jammcq>
was it a PXE-E32 before? or did that just start?
16:59
<timma>
no. it just started
17:00
it was a file not found before
17:00
<jammcq>
do this: netstat -anp | grep ":67 "
17:00
err
17:00
do this: netstat -anp | grep ":60 "
17:00

17:00

17:03
<jammcq>
seems about right
17:04
dunno why you'd be getting a timeout now.

<jammcq>
you've got other things in dhcpd.conf pointing to .254. You'll need to change those to .167
17:07
but that shouldn't be causing your current problem
17:10
<timma>
how do I check to see if my nic is full or half ?
17:11
<jammcq>
at this point, you can't, and it doesn't matter
17:11
that's not causing your problem

<john_s>
hello all: can samba handle non-flat /homes? can the smb.conf Global Option "template homedir =" be used to allow users to log in to their home dir if /home isn't flat? I.e if I have /home/groupa and /home/groupb/ can I use smb.conf to make sure that users end up logging into /home/groupa/bob or /home/groupb/janet?
17:15
<jammcq>
john_s: sounds like a question for the #samba channel, eh?
17:16
<john_s>
I agree, I have it there too they are a little sleepy so I hoped one of the LTSP folks had been here before

3. TFTP and DHCP/BOOTP services are running on different machines, but the next-server (066) option was not specified
17:33
jammcq could the card be incompatible with TFTP?
17:48
jammcq should I reparition the hdd and then install grub and copy /var/lib/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.20.9-ltsp-1
17:55
vagrantc do you have an idea, should I boot locally and how?
17:56F-GT has quit IRC
17:58F-GT has joined #ltsp

<timma>
what is the different between /var/lib/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.20.9-ltsp-1 and -2?
18:02john_s has left #ltsp
18:04
<timma>
ignore that question, i am numb
18:05
<vagrantc>
timma: maybe your PXE client isn't respecting next-server
18:05
timma: you could try one of the boot floppies
18:05
!bootfloppy
18:05
<ltspbot`>
vagrantc: "bootfloppy" is http://etherboot.anadex.de or ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/Universal_boot_floppy
18:07
<timma>
this would at least test if it does work.

vagrantc I accidentally rm /dev/fd0, but the floppy image you gave work on booting to ltsp. But why would that work? the client's pxe does not work right?
19:09
<vagrantc>
timma: sounds like it
19:09
timma: or your DHCP is configured to give etherboot a different file
19:10
some PXE implementations are broken.

vagrantc so now that this works, about ltsp 5. is ltsp-server(-standalone) version 0.99debian11 ltsp 5?
19:44
<vagrantc>
timma: basically, yes. it's missing a few features. if you need them there's backports available
19:44
!debian

<ltspbot>
vagrantc: "debian" is is a GNU/Linux based operating system that makes an excellent LTSP server. You can find it at http://www.debian.org. for information about LTSP on debian see http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP
19:45
<vagrantc>
timma: but it's not going to fix your tftp problem
19:46
your other option is to see if atftpd works better for you

you have two choices. atftpd or tftpd-hpa
19:49
regular tftpd doesn't work with PXE
19:50
<timma>
I am using tftpd-hda
19:50
<vagrantc>
right.
19:50
and since that's not working for you, maybe try atftpd

By the way the whole problem on the client is it sees the file, but is SLOWer than evolution and now not moving on the process slash
21:26
<vagrantc>
if it's not running on port 69, i have no idea how it could possibly be serving up any files.
21:26
slow or otherwise

vagrantc how do I open the port?
21:30
<vagrantc>
by running a tftp server on it
21:30
so, something is badly broken, and i have no idea how to fix it.

joebob777as7: I haven't tried this (I use an LTSP server under Kubuntu 6.10 with one Nic on a LAN router) but it may help as thought starters to redirect to eth1: "By default, DHCP runs on the first ethernet device on your machine (generally eth0). If you would like to have DHCP run on a different device you must specify it when you start the DHCP server /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth1" and "added eth1 to the end of the dhcpd command to tell it only to listen for requests
22:40
on my eth1 interface, $ dhcpd eth1", or try this (http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.php/LTSP_Server). good luck!

joebob777as7: found a bit more... response from Oliver Grawert last fall on the same topic (http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu.user.edubuntu/2006-10/msg00020.html)
