i tried to set up the PXE daemon, and they did boot from that (though i'm clueless how to configure it to actually boot what i want)

hi ltsp devs, would you mind giving your inputs to this? http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/KIWI-LTSP-Tasks
07:55
we(opensuse community members) are trying to get this off the ground for a long time now, we hope to get a lot more done before opensuse 10.3 release in october
07:57
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: the distinctions between initrd, server and client seem weak ...
07:58
as the server builds the client environment, some things could be modified at build time ... and the initrd is definitely generated server-side ...
07:58muh2000_ is now known as muh2000
07:59
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, yes initrd is generated, but it is done by another process using kiwi netboot image
07:59muh2000_ has joined #ltsp
08:00
<cyberorg>
by client i mean, the chroot on the server
08:00
<vagrantc>
so this whole process is talking about chroot creation and nothing else, really.
08:01
although, the last two server-side tasks seem broader in scope than kiwi...
08:01
<cyberorg>
yeah, initrd and the chroot creation, then initscripts, ldm and other things
08:02
yeah those are LTSP specific
08:03
<vagrantc>
i had best sleep before sunrise
08:03
or maybe i should watch it and then sleep
08:03
<cyberorg>
ok 'night, we will see you more :), we just had one developer join us so this new push
08:04
<vagrantc>
excellent! :)
08:04
sounds like y'all might beat fedora after all :)
08:05* vagrantc hopes to incite some healthy competativeness
08:05
<cyberorg>
we have a chroot boot up, ldm come up and user log in
08:05
<vagrantc>
that's 90 percent of it
08:05
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, naah, no competiveness, we are bunch of community folks trying to get ltsp on a distro we like :)
08:06
we can also manually mount local devices using ltspfs
08:07
have a good rest, you may end up spending more time here :)

Good afternoon
08:23
I have just setup LTSP 4.2 using Xandros 4.1
08:23
My terminals are Compaq Evo T20's
08:23
Problem:
08:24
1 terminal is fine, gets ip 172.16.1.99. More than one terminal and I have an issue where all terminals will restart X after about 5 minutes constantly
08:25
My research indicates that all terminals MAC addresses are reporting to be all 00:00's
08:25
so they all end up getting the 172.16.1.99 ip address
08:25
This was not happening with LTSP 4.1 on the same system
08:26
I get this error in my logs which seems to be related:
08:26
Received signal 15, shutting down cleanly
08:26
Has anyone come across similar?

<jbassett>
In dhcpd.conf i have altered root path statment to not have the ip address but now i get a "rpc failed: 2" error
11:24
<enggars>
E: Couldn't find package ltsp-server-standalone
11:25
<jammcq>
enggars: hmm, what version of kubuntu?
11:25
jbassett: try this on the server: showmount -e
11:25
<enggars>
kubuntu 6.06 LTS
11:25
<jammcq>
hmm, why so old?
11:25
<jbassett>
showmount -e lists 2 exports:
11:25

is it impossible in this version?
11:26
<jammcq>
jbassett: what do you have for 'root-path' ?
11:26
<jbassett>
opt/ltsp is where i bunzipped the debian version of ltsp 5
11:26
<jammcq>
enggars: umm, seems like it should work
11:26
jbassett: are you running on debian ?

got ltsp5 client booting now
12:53
had to install nfs-kernel-server and remove user-server
12:53
now it boots into x bu my screen goes off
12:53
I understand ltsp5 does not use lts.conf for x settings is that right?

I have a question regarding the behavior of LTSP5....the clients boot up fine and the GDMish login appears...however, when I log in I get logged into the main system, not into the chrooted env... is this the way it's supposed to be?
12:59Faithful has quit IRC
12:59
<mvip>
if i log into the console however, i get logged into the chrooted environment
13:00
<jbassett>
mvip what is the equivalent of lts.conf in version5?
13:00
i need to alter my x settings as i cant see a thing
13:01
<mvip>
ltsp.conf i think
13:01
or maybe ltsp.conf and lts.conf are the same
13:02
<jbassett>
cant find either in ltsp 5
13:02
<mvip>
they don't exist by default

<Mawkee>
I'm using LTSP 4.2 on a just-installed Debian Lenny system. I've done everything, except one little thing that is bothering me: I can't make the system set the correct $DISPLAY variable. It always gets the IP address instead of the host name. X starts okay - the NFS presented no errors so far, and whatever I configure to [ws005 on /etc/lts.conf is actually used. /etc/hosts seems to be okay. Anybody here has an idea? I've tried google, but I don't know the c

trying to figure out what actually calls the ltspfs command on the server

that's the part that isn't happening

18:01
<vagrantc>
ah...
18:01
that was probably a change on my request for /var/run/ldm_socket
18:18
well, got it kind of working now
18:18
certainly not as smoothly as with ldm
19:04
well, now it seems just as smooth as with ldm ...
19:04
altough cdpinger doesn't appear to be working
19:07
<sbalneav>
You been pulling from my ltspfs-nodm tree?
19:10
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: no. packages from debian re-built for etch
19:10
deb http://pkg-ltsp.alioth.debian.org/debian etch-ltsp-backports main
19:10
since ltspfs didn't make it into etch
19:11
<sbalneav>
I've changed the socket file name a fair amount recently.
19:11ari_stress has joined #ltsp
19:11
<vagrantc>
heh
19:12
<sbalneav>
In order to be able to support both the multi server capability, and the ability to run more than one ldm at a time, the file's now named...
19:12
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: i think we should use /var/run/ltsp/* rather than dropping all our files into /var/run
19:12
<sbalneav>
/var/run/ldm_socket_vtn_ipaddr
19:12
<vagrantc>
good
19:13
<sbalneav>
so now, you'll get files named like: ldm_socket_vt7_192.168.0.1
19:13
<ari_stress>

19:13
morning, i mean :)
19:13
<sbalneav>
Evening!
19:14
You still stressed? :)
19:14
<ari_stress>
yes i am :)
19:14
<sbalneav>
Id've thought that would have dissapated by now.
19:15
<ari_stress>
i was trying to make sound works in ltsp5 in the weekend. no good. but, i guess it's not a priority. today i'm gonna test local printing :)
19:15
<sbalneav>
sound should work fine. What problem were you having?
19:16
<ari_stress>
well, is ltsp5 sound different than ltsp4? i was reading the wiki http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Sound
19:17
and check whether /dev/dsp presents, it does present in the client
19:17
i tried esd, alsa, nard
19:17
interesting thing: when I chose various output device, the test sound came in the server not client.
19:18
<sbalneav>
ltsp5 sound is wildly different than 4
19:18
It uses pulse
19:18
<ari_stress>
oh ok. i chose pulse, but it compained for not able to connect to the server
19:18
complained
19:18
<sbalneav>
What does your lts.conf file look like?
19:19
<ari_stress>
let me get it
19:19
the ltsp server is not up yet, but base on my memory:
19:20
SOUND true, SOUND_DAEMON esd, SCREEN_02 shell
19:20
<sbalneav>
Ditch the SOUND_DAEMON
19:20
just let it go with the default of pulse.
19:20
You're running the gnome desktop?
19:20
<ari_stress>
it wasn't there originally, i just add it last weekend.
19:20
yes gnome
19:21
LTSP5 + feisty
19:22
<sbalneav>
Should work then. What were you testing that wasn't working?
19:22gonzaloaf has quit IRC
19:22
<ari_stress>
when gnome logons, it should produce sound. right? also i was testing the sound using the preferences > sound
19:23
the testing client is compaq presario v3000 notebook
19:23
<sbalneav>
Should work. Works on all my clients.
19:23
Unless it's not liking your notebook's sound card.
19:24
<ari_stress>
what is the log file to troubleshoot this? in /var/log/messages of the server there's none related, and also in /opt/ltsp/i386/log/messages too
19:24
sbalneav: yeah, i guess i need to test it on different client, to make sure to localize the problem
19:24
<sbalneav>
Well, you'd actually have to check on the client
19:24
Have a client there in front of you?
19:26
<ari_stress>
yes, i'm using it right now :D but it means i have to disconnect from the internet. that's ok. i
19:26
i'll reconnect later after the testing
19:26
thanks sbalneav, you are great
19:26
much appreciate it
19:27
ok i'll reboot now

19:45
<vagrantc>
no
19:45
<sbalneav>
Poop
19:45
Got a debdiff I need sponsored.
19:46
I was quite proud of myself! nbd-server didn't include the (5) manpage.
19:46
I figured out how to add it all by myself!
19:46
I'm a big boy now! Yayy! :)
19:50
<vagrantc>
so, whenever ltspfs connects to the ssh socket ... it dies.
19:52
<sbalneav>
ltspfs doesn't ever connect to the ssh socket, itself. The udev rule fires add_fstab_entry, that shoots the ltspfsmounter add command to the server over the socket. This calls ltspfs, which then does the mount.
19:54
<vagrantc>
well, yeah...
19:54
whatever runs over the ssh socket, when it runs, kills the X connection ...
19:55
any command run over the socket seems to kill the x server
19:55
why it works fine on one machine and not the other is beyond me.
19:56
<sbalneav>
Running the command over the ssh connection kills the X server? SOmething wrong there :)
19:56
<vagrantc>
really? :P
19:57
<sbalneav>
In my educated opinion, yes.
19:57
<ltsppbot>
"vagrantc" pasted "using ssh socket kills x" (12 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/290
19:57
<sbalneav>
Ooooh
19:58
display <none>
19:58
Null pointer!
19:58
Buffer overrun somewhere.
19:58
<vagrantc>
so, logging into a different server works ... only difference is one is using ssh keys.
19:59
well, i guess i haven't tried icewm ... hmmm...
20:02gonzaloaf has joined #ltsp
20:03
<vagrantc>
works fine for my user on one server logging in with password, doesn't work for another user on another server logging in with ssh keys
20:20rafaelfeito has joined #ltsp
20:37
<vagrantc>
aha!
20:37
the ssh key is restricted to certain commands
20:37
to a specific command
20:44
sbalneav: so ... every time i type df ... every terminal with someone logged in the floppy light goes on ...
20:44
sbalneav: is there some sane way to cache that information ?
20:45
for some reason CD drives don't seem to work ...
20:47
<rcy>
maybe doing something with df -t can suppress looking at the fd's
20:48
<vagrantc>
it will be hard for me to change my habitually typing df when i'm thinking
20:48
<rcy>
alias
20:48
<vagrantc>
heh
20:48
<rcy>
but yeah, not really a solution
20:49
i was doing a debian installation and building a complicated filesystem layout... everytime it scanned the partitions it took a good 90 seconds because it was timing out on the nonexistent /dev/fd0
20:49
i rebooted and disabled the diskette in the bios
