Hi all, I;m here again.
01:15
I tried to contact vgrantic but he's not reachable, maybe is in vacation ;)
01:15
is there someone else who can help me with LTSP, debian etch and usb pens?
01:16
I get the same behaviour described in this post (even if he's using ubuntu instead)

is it normal that `ls /opt/ltsp/i386/dev/sd*` returns "no such file or directory"?

I've also tried to run "ls /dev/sd*" on the client, but with no success...
03:47
<ogra>
i guess you use the most recent ltspfs packages from debian
03:47
they patched it to not show local disks by default
03:48
if LOCALDEV is set to true in your lts.conf, ltspfsd is installed in the client shroot and ltspfs is installed on the server, ldm should provide you usb key support and CDroms at least

mmm can anybody help me with a tftp problem??
04:07
<menoz>
ogra: yeah, I've already done everything you wrote
04:07
the odd thing is that
04:08
if I put a usb dongle on the server, it works as expected (an icon appears on all the clients); but if I put the usb pen on the client, nothing happens...
04:09
while CDROM works both on the client and on the server

04:14
<menoz>
ok, just a minute
04:15

much better I'm using the sae distro
04:22

depends what the problem is
04:23
<krotaz>
tftp open timeout
04:24
or could you show me the files you've configured???

exp2????
04:25
<EXP_>
i second
04:25
<krotaz>
ok
04:29
<EXP2>
you have 2 NIC's in your server?
04:29
<krotaz>
in fact I've 3
04:29
wireless and 2 ethernet
04:29
one of the ethernet is disabled in the bios
04:29
<EXP2>
are they all in different networks?
04:30
<krotaz>
the wireless I can't disable it but has no ip (it's not configured )
04:30
<EXP2>
OK
04:30
<krotaz>
the other eth is on the 192.168.0.1
04:31
the thin client it's not a physical machine it's a vmware server machine with no O.S
04:31
<EXP2>
ok
04:31cyberorg has quit IRC
04:32
<krotaz>
the vmware server is able to boot from PXE so there's suppossed to be no problem
04:33
<EXP2>
http://pastebin.com/d3c3765a7
04:33
my dhcpd.conf
04:34
i have modified that a little. I use static IP's on clients
04:34
<krotaz>
your clients aren't PXE capable???
04:35
ok and you only modified dhcp.conf??
04:37
<EXP2>
yes
04:37
<krotaz>
ok hope this works
04:38
the .img file is for pxe clients??
04:38
<EXP2>
but you must change your ip address to 192.168.1.1, because i changed it in my dhpcd.conf
04:39
<krotaz>
but in the subnet you have 192.168.1.0 so I've to change to 0.0
04:42
still the same error :(
04:42
<matte_>
hi
04:43

anyone can help us?
07:04
<ogra>
EXP_, open the user and groups manager, open the users preferences and mark teh checkbox for FUSE filesystems and Thin Client block devices
07:05
if you create your users with that tool it should be in the defaults for new users

what dpkg -l ltspfs|grep ^ii shows?
07:20
have you read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices ?
07:23Guaraldo has joined #ltsp
07:36
<menoz>
EXP_:yes,we did that. but the real odd problem is that *all* local devices are working, *except* from USB pens
07:36
and we found this behaviour both on debian etch and on a fresh new Edubuntu installation
07:38
<EXP_>
does floppy drive work?
07:38
<menoz>
we tried 2 different clients (a laptop and a desktop), and on both of them usb isn't working
07:39
I'm sorry but we cannot have a floppy device
07:39
we tested CDROM
07:39
local hdd (mounting windows)
07:40
and even audio
07:43
but usb sticks works when attached to the server
07:43
<EXP_>
ok
07:44
<menoz>
(an icon will appear on all the clients)
07:48
it's weird,because we user a fresh edubuntu installation in witch everything should work appropriately ....

Hi - I'm using 4.2 on K12LTSP. If a user changes resolution on a terminal, logs out, then logs back in, the resolution which the user set is re-activated, instead of the resolution in lts.conf for that MAC/IP/etc -- Where is this stored, and is there a way to ignore the changes on subsequent, post-change logins?

<sbalneav> Yes, I'd start there first.
10:22
<sbalneav> chroot /optl/ltsp/i386

10:22
* moquist should just let menoz continue, but couldn't resist posting the above in case it's the Right Answer
10:22
<menoz> nothing gets logged when I attach the usb dongle on the client

10:22
<menoz> ogra: if I attach the stick in the server, clients can read/write them. And I tried bot vfat and ext3 formatted sticks

That's not bad, especially if we clearly document how to open it up.

you'll need to look in xfce configuration, if you're using xubuntu.

it's probably also something that should be considered a bug, i know it was fixed in gnome for ubuntu.

11:28
<vagrantc>
daya: it is not edubuntu.
11:28
<Blinny>
sbalneav: Yes, I am.
11:28
(And only gnome)
11:28
<vagrantc>
daya: so it is different, and maybe doesn't work the same.
11:28
<daya>
vagrantc, then any suggestion,
11:29
<sbalneav>
ok, well, gnome resets the display after you log in, so there's not much you can do about disabling it from ltsp side of things.
11:29
<Blinny>
But where does it store that user-specific information?
11:29
<sbalneav>
There's a key in the gconf database that sets the resolution, you can search through the users' gconf, and delete that key, and things should stay the way they are.
11:29
<Blinny>
Ah, gotchya.
11:29
<sbalneav>
in gconf.
11:29
<Blinny>
Maybe I can wrote a logout script that does that.
11:30
<sbalneav>
That would work.
11:30
<vagrantc>
daya: what do you have installed right now ?
11:30
<Blinny>
It's messing up NX stuff too - remote users are coming in at higher resolutions, then only seeing small windows of the real desktop (ala virtual resolutions of the past)

such as server,

<yeipi>
Hi guys :)
12:17
I got a question: is there a way to run ltsp 5 with 16 mb ram? I mean build an special kernel for the ltsp terminals (to reduce the space and to get those clients boot the kernel)
12:18
<vagrantc>
yeipi: the short answer is "no". the long answer is "of course".
12:19
main thing is getting network swap to kick in early enough.
12:20
<sbalneav>
yeipi asked this of my a week or two ago.
12:20
<yeipi>
yep
12:20
<sbalneav>
it segfaults out while downloading the initramfs.
12:21
currently, kernel + initramfs + allocated memory is > 16 megs.
12:21
<vagrantc>
yeah, probably had to do with an initramfs ... especially now that more and more is being pushed into the initramfs
12:21
<monteslu>
did ltsp4 had smaller requirements?
12:21
<yeipi>
yep, sbalneav was on help me, but he is too busy under ldm for ubuntu. That's why I'm asking others.
12:22
monteslu: yep
12:23
but one of the things I want is that those terminals get support for local devices...
12:23
and I think with ltsp 4.2 I won't get that.
12:23
<sbalneav>
In 16 megs it will be kind of hard.
12:23
<monteslu>
its in there, ain't it sbalneav ?
12:24
<sbalneav>
Yes, but getting local devs going under 4.2 will require more memory as well. And, there hasn't been an update for the server side bits of 4.2 for a year now, so they probably won't work with newer distros.
12:25
<monteslu>
man, redhat really needs to put some work into integrating muekow , then
12:25Arauto has joined #ltsp
12:25
<monteslu>
I'm kinda stuck on 4.2 for now
12:26
<yeipi>
sbalneav: I don't understand what I have to do. We're pretty limitated in resources for buying lts of memories for these clients.
12:26
<monteslu>
unless I switch to edubuntu this week
12:27RMSELTech has quit IRC

<cliebow_>
go for it !!! 8~)
12:27
<vagrantc>
yeipi: 24-32MB will probably work.
12:27
<yeipi>
I want to now if there a possibility to explore to get local devices with 16.
12:27
<vagrantc>
yeipi: 16 is going to be *very* difficult.

12:27
kids have probably heard more about ubuntu though :)
12:27
<yeipi>
ok vagrantc. I think I'll have to convince the people here that's inevitable not to buy ram.
12:28
<cliebow_>
sbalneav:seems to be rocking now huh?
12:28
<sbalneav>
16's just SO tight.
12:28
there's just no room for anything extra.
12:28
<monteslu>
the ubuntu muekow docs seem a little out of date
12:28
and I'm going to need two + and smbldap server
12:28
<sbalneav>
on 4.2, it just BARELY worked. But the kernel's gotten bigger since then.
12:29

yeipi: How many machines are we talking about?
12:33

sbalneav: about 2000 servers
12:33
each server with at least 4 clients
12:34
<monteslu>
good lord
12:34
<yeipi>
I think what we'll try is downgrading ltsp 5 to 4.2 on edubuntu
12:34
<monteslu>
and here I thought my 70-client install was big :)

Hmm, I'm going to try 16m now

quick question, do I need to rebuild client (ltsp-build-client) if I want to use a screensaver?
12:48
<vagrantc>
staffencasa: no
12:48
<staffencasa>
does it just use the screensaver the server uses? How do I set it up?
12:48
<vagrantc>
unless you're not doing thin-clients
12:49
<staffencasa>
I am
12:49
<vagrantc>
install it on the server.
12:49
<staffencasa>
that's it?
12:49
<vagrantc>
that's all you have to do as far as LTSP is concerned
12:49
you might have to configure it to start up on login or something
12:50
<staffencasa>
right.
12:51
<vagrantc>
with the thin-client model, all your thin clients really are are extra monitors, mice and keyboards for your server, basically.
12:51RMSELTech has quit IRC

<sbalneav>
vagrantc: ok, I updated /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to the "netboot" option for modules.
12:51
How do I re-configure the initramfs?
12:52
update-initramfs -u seems to generate a same-sized initramfs
12:52
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: you sure there wasn't a file already enabling thatin /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d ?
12:52
<sbalneav>
errr
12:52
:)
12:52

no

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d ?
12:53
<sbalneav>
ah
12:53
yes.
12:54
<vagrantc>
so that won't probably save you much
12:54
<sbalneav>
well, there's still fs libraries there.
12:54
things like xfs, ext2 ext3, etc modules are included
12:54
<vagrantc>
as a quick and dirty workaround, you could write a hook that manually removes them
12:55
<sbalneav>
k, could do.
12:55
Just seeing if there's anything I can do for yeipi

hi guys. Need a little assistance... I have a Edubuntu Feisty Server AMD64. I am using thin client in amixed 100Mbit/Gigabit environment. The problem is my client only will boot sometimes. It seems the problem is NFS whichuses UDP protocol. I found a solution to change it to use TCP protocol, but they want me to chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 /bin/bash --login and then cd /etc/mkinitramfs/.... The problem is that there is no directory called thath(mkinitramfs)
14:33
The solution is described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/TroubleShooting

9 to 16v
14:56

Ah, perfect
14:56

just make sure you have the polarity right

because any movable part easily breaks over time and because this eats so little current that it's not worth shutting down.

Makes sense.

16:02* vagrantc has been having pxe related troubles with intel PXE implementations recently
16:03
<JonNoob_>
But if it blocks udp then my clients would never work. But sometimes(rarely) they boot anyway
16:04
<Q-FUNK>
vagrantc: oh the irony, given how they came up with the specs. then again, etherboot.org does point out that intel does odd things which soemone might not want enabled.
16:05
<sbalneav>
Why don't you try subbing in a "dumb" switch temporarily, to eliminate that possibility
16:05
<vagrantc>
it works on one network, but not another network... which is why i suspect the switch. but the dhcp server on the broken network is also running inside a xen instance ... which does some weird firewalling stuff ...
16:06
<JonNoob_>
Actually i just tried that. We have some old 10/100 3com switches to. And they do the same....
16:06
<vagrantc>
it appears to be trying to get to udp/4011 ... which is the port for the PXE daemon ... though most PXE implementations merely use tftp and dhcp ...
16:07
JonNoob_: what's your error message ?

I gave my server the same ip as my managed old switches..... Ohh man...
16:08
<vagrantc>
heh
16:08
that'll do some damage
16:08
<JonNoob_>
And this problem has been haunting me for 3 weeks now....

sometimes you look at the problems in the completely wrong angle and miss the "small" obvious things

jejeje
17:11
I'm tryin to install LTSP 5 on ubuntu 7.04
17:11
I've followed the official how to that just installs ltsp-server-standolone and openssh-server
17:11
and then create ltsp-client
17:12
after that I try to load the thin client from the network, the dhcp works fine but then a TFTP open timeout error appears
17:12
<sbalneav>
How many ethernet cards does your server have?
17:13
<krotaz>
3 2 eth and a wireless
17:13
one of the 2 eth is disabled
17:13muh2000 has quit IRC
17:13
<krotaz>
and the wireless isn't recognized by linux
17:13
<sbalneav>
Which ones are the terminals connected to?
17:14
<krotaz>
the terminal is a vmware machine
17:14
<sbalneav>
ah
17:14
can't help you then.
17:14
I don't know anything about vmware.
17:14
<krotaz>
no problem
17:14
I just want to know why the tftp doesn't run
17:15
<sbalneav>
netstat -an | grep :69
17:15
<krotaz>
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:*
17:15
<sbalneav>
Your tftp server's running fine.
17:16
<krotaz>
it's supposed that after the * I must see a PID/process isn't it??
17:16
<sbalneav>
Did you do an ltsp-update-kernels
17:16
no
17:16
only if you did a netstat -anp
17:17
<staffencasa>
could someone point me in the right direction? vagrantc said that the clients would pull the screensaver from the server, but mine are not. I built my client with --kiosk, so I'm not sure if that changes anything. I'm running Edubuntu 7.04
17:17
<krotaz>
yes but if I put -apn instead of that PID/process I get a -
17:17
still ok the server???
17:18
<sbalneav>
something's listening on :69
17:18
<krotaz>
that's right but it seems to be that's it's not the tftp
17:18
the server must run by the inetd.conf?? or like a daemon???
17:19
<sbalneav>
have you tried tftping to localhost?
17:19
<krotaz>
yes and no answer
17:19
Error code 1: File not found
17:19mistik1 has quit IRC
17:19
<sbalneav>
So, on the server, you did a tftp localhost
17:20
<krotaz>
yes
17:21
by the way the vmware machine is connected to the eth0 (sorry I just remembered your question)
17:21
and the vmware can see the server because it get's the IP from the dhcp
17:21
<sbalneav>
Is the server running under vmware?
17:21
<krotaz>
no
17:21shale_ is now known as ryness
17:21
<krotaz>
only the thin client
17:21
<sbalneav>
So you've installed vmware on an edubuntu machine/
17:21
?
17:22
<krotaz>
vmware on ubuntu
17:22
the server is native the vmware is a non-os machine
17:22
<sbalneav>
So, you're on the edubuntu machine, you open a terminal, and you type "tftp localhost"
17:22
what happens
17:22
<krotaz>
prompts tftp>
17:23
<sbalneav>
get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
17:23ryness has left #ltsp
17:23
<sbalneav>
What does it say
17:23
<krotaz>
but does the same if I try tftp to 192.168.0.100 (the ip of my linksys) and to 192.168.1.254 (the ip of my adsl modem) and they do not have tftp servers
17:24J45p3r has joined #ltsp
17:24
<sbalneav>
What does it say if you type that command.
17:24
<krotaz>
Error code 1: File not found
17:25
<sbalneav>
have you done an ltsp-update-kernels?
17:25
<krotaz>
no should I
17:25
<sbalneav>
If you want kernels to boot, yes.
17:26
<krotaz>
ok so the instruction is
17:26
sudo ltsp-update-kernels
17:26
Updating /var/lib/tftpboot directories for chroot: /opt/ltsp/i386
17:26
that's the answer
17:27
<sbalneav>
ok
17:27
try your boot now
17:27
<krotaz>
the tftp server must be controlled by the inetd.conf??? or like daemon???
17:28
<sbalneav>
Normally it's started by inetd.conf
17:29
<krotaz>
do you know how to restart inetd.conf??
17:29
<sbalneav>
invoke-rc.d openbsd-inetd restart
17:29
<krotaz>
ok let me try to boot
17:30krotaz has quit IRC
17:33bobby_C has quit IRC
17:33krotaz has joined #ltsp
17:34
<krotaz>
sbalneav
17:34
the same thing
17:35
TFTP open timeout
17:35
<sbalneav>
ok, well, try the tftp localhost on the server
17:35
get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
17:35
see if you can get that file
17:36
<krotaz>
no error message :)
17:36
ok let me check the dhcp conf
17:37
<sbalneav>
does it say it retreived the file?
17:37
if so, then your tftp server's working
17:37
<staffencasa>
When I was getting that error, I did a sudo apt-get remove ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server, then sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server and then a sudo invoke-rc.d nfs-kernel-server restart
17:37
<krotaz>
no it's didnt said that it retreived the file
17:38
<staffencasa>
basically reinstalled
17:38
<krotaz>
ok thanks staff
17:38
svalneav
17:38
<staffencasa>
yeah, no guarantees, though, I'm a n00b :)
17:39
<krotaz>
it didn't said that it retreived the file
17:39
but if I remove the file and again do a get it worked
17:42
<sbalneav>
Well, your tftp server's working.
17:42
<krotaz>
but still can't boot
17:42
<sbalneav>
So, it's either your dhcpd.conf, or the vmware box.
17:42
<krotaz>
:S
17:42
ok
17:42
<sbalneav>
What's the ip address of the edubuntu box?
17:43
And there's no other dhcp server running on that network?
17:43
<krotaz>
when I tftp the local host wich directory am I connecting???
17:43
the var or opt???
17:43
<sbalneav>
/var/lib/tftpboot
17:45
<krotaz>
my ip is 192.168.0.1
17:45
<sbalneav>
You said you had a network router on this network?
17:46
Does it hand out dhcp addresses
17:46
<krotaz>
yes a linksys
17:46
no
17:46
the only dchp is my ubuntu boz
17:46
box
17:47
if the vmware machine is getting the right ip from the dhcp then the vmware is ok
17:47
but still tftp error
17:47
so the only problem here still is the dhcp.conf file am I ok???
17:47
<sbalneav>
Try it with a real machine.
17:48
I have no idea if the vmware box does a tftp correctly
17:49
<krotaz>
unfortunely I don't have nother machine that's the reason I'm using vmware but I've seen a page in novell official site where they tested ltsp on a vmware
17:49
just as I'm doing it
17:49
<sbalneav>
Well, all I know is, you've got a running tftp server
17:50
<krotaz>
that's righ
17:50
thanks man
17:50
I owe you one
17:52
should the dhcp.conf file have the next-server liine??
17:52
<sbalneav>
It's not supposed to, but you can try.
17:53
invoke-rc.d dhcp-server restart to reload dhcp after the change
17:54
<krotaz>
well in ubuntu is sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart but must be the same
17:55
<sbalneav>
sorry, forgot the 3
17:58
<krotaz>
the dhcp.conf in the option rooth-path must point to???
17:59
opt??
17:59
<sbalneav>
It's already set up
17:59
/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
17:59
<krotaz>
I' watching it now
18:00
<sbalneav>
/opt/ltsp/i386
18:00
<krotaz>
domain name wich??
18:00
<sbalneav>
Doesn't need one.
18:00
<krotaz>
the one that my pc have???
18:01
domain-name server???
18:01
<sbalneav>
Doesn't need one.
18:01
<krotaz>
option routers 192.168.0.1;
18:01
<sbalneav>
the default file should work fine. the routers is there, but generally not used.
18:05
<krotaz>
ok
18:11
should something be moved on the host.allow and those files???
18:11
on in the /etc/exports???
18:11
<sbalneav>
No, should be set up to work by default.
18:11
/etc/exports is for nfs
18:12
which is past tftp
18:12
I take it you still can't tftp?
18:12
<krotaz>
yes still cant tftp from the vmware machine
18:12
<sbalneav>
Does the machine that you've got the vmware running on tftpboot?
18:13
<krotaz>
sorry?? don't understand
18:13
<sbalneav>
Can the physical machine that you have the vmware client running on, be set up to pxe boot in the bios?
18:14
<krotaz>
let me see
18:14
the virtual network card is suppossed to be able to
18:14
<sbalneav>
No.
18:14
I'm talking about using that machine itself as a thin client.
18:15
<krotaz>
ok to use the same server as a thin client???
18:16
<sbalneav>
You said you had a different box running the vmware machine.
18:16
how many boxes do you have?
18:16
<krotaz>
no I only have 1 box
18:16
the server
18:17
and in the same server I'm using the vmware machine
18:17Gadi has left #ltsp
18:17
<sbalneav>
I asked you if you had installed vmware under the edubuntu machine, and you said you had it installed on an Ubuntu machine.
18:17
<krotaz>
mmm to be honest I don't remember that
18:18
<sbalneav>
<sbalneav> So you've installed vmware on an edubuntu machine/
18:18
?
18:18
<krotaz> vmware on ubuntu
18:18
<krotaz>
well I told you that I've installed it on a ubuntu machine because the server operating system is ubuntu not edubuntu
18:20
<sbalneav>
ok, well, tftp is there, and working fine, since you see it with both netstat, and the tftp client can connect to it.
18:20
so the problem's with the vmware client.
18:21
<krotaz>
yes
18:21
the thing it's that the vmware cliente does find the dhcp and get the right ip
18:21
<sbalneav>
ok
18:21
fine.
18:21
It doesn't follow that because THAT happens, that the tftp must ALSO work.
18:23
I'm unfamiliar with vmware, as I can't afford to pay the prices they charge, so I don't have it. Maybe check with their tech support and see if they know of an issue with tftp.
18:23
<krotaz>
vmware is free :P
18:23
the vmware server is free :)
18:24
<sbalneav>
even if it's free, it's not Free, so I'm not interested in it anyway.
18:24
Maybe someone else here can help you, but as far as I can see, the server's functioning as it should.
18:24
<krotaz>
jejej
18:25
yes
18:39
anyway thanks man
