| 07:27 | <cyberorg> hi i installed edubuntu tribe 5, client boots up and just gives me loging prompt, no ldm login
| |
| 07:28 | how do i get ldm?
| |
| 07:30 | alright got the login, it took about 4 minutes to do that :/
| |
| 07:31 | Guaraldo has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:32 | <ogra> cyberorg, what kind of client is that ?
| |
| 07:32 | <cyberorg> ogra, it might be server problem, vmware :)
| |
| 07:32 | <ogra> ah, k
| |
| 07:32 | yeah, i heard there are various probs with vmware ... specifically network related stuff
| |
| 07:33 | <cyberorg> login is still at verifying password, please wait...
| |
| 07:33 | <ogra> but that sounds just like vmware slowness
| |
| 07:34 | my slowest real client here boots in 110sec here ... thats a 200Mhz all on one chip thingie (took 5 mins with feisty)
| |
| 07:34 | regular (i.e. ~500MHz) systems should be up in around 45-60 sec
| |
| 07:35 | <cyberorg> it has been about 7 minutes since i gave login to gdm, still black screen with mouse pointer
| |
| 07:35 | i am sshed into the server and that seems to respond fast
| |
| 07:36 | would nfs root work faster than nbd?
| |
| 07:37 | nbd is default right?
| |
| 07:38 | <ogra> xnfs is a lot slower than nbd ususally
| |
| 07:38 | (twice as slow over the thumb)
| |
| 07:39 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPWithoutNFS
| |
| 07:39 | has a howto to switch your chroot to nfs
| |
| 07:39 | (at the bottom)
| |
| 07:39 | <cyberorg> ogra, yeah, was just looking at that :)
| |
| 07:41 | ogra, is .img exactly same as /opt/ltsp/i386?
| |
| 07:42 | <ogra> its a squashfs of /opt/ltsp/i386
| |
| 07:42 | but yes
| |
| 07:42 | the contents are identical
| |
| 07:42 | <cyberorg> ok
| |
| 07:42 | <ogra> if you make changes, do them chrooted in /opt/ltsp/i386 as usual and then run ltsp-update-image to rebuild the sqaushfs
| |
| 07:43 | ByPasS has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:43 | <cyberorg> ogra, ok
| |
| 07:44 | ogra, how do i see what is going on behind the boot splash?
| |
| 07:45 | <ogra> remove the word splash from your boot file (pxelinux.cfg/default in the tftp dir)
| |
| 07:46 | <cyberorg> ok, o got "There was error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" message
| |
| 07:46 | <ogra> ??
| |
| 07:46 | <cyberorg> nfs seems to have worked faster, under 1 min
| |
| 07:47 | <ogra> so vmware has a prob with nbd
| |
| 07:47 | <cyberorg> yeah, looks like that, i'll switch back and see

| 08:46 | <BlackDark> hi
| |
| 08:47 | I'm doing a brand new installation of ltsp
| |
| 08:47 | based on feisty
| |
| 08:47 | <ogra> great
| |
| 08:47 | !ubuntu
| |
| 08:47 | <ltspbot> ogra: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
| |
| 08:47 | <BlackDark> I have, some problems to make work the usd pen drives
| |
| 08:47 | I can see the device settling in syslog
| |
| 08:48 | but it's not mounted in the user session
| |
| 08:48 | <ogra> you just need to enable access for the user in the users and groups tool
| |
| 08:48 | <BlackDark> in /etc/group ?
| |
| 08:48 | <ogra> no
| |
| 08:48 | in the gui tool
| |
| 08:48 | <BlackDark> what tool do I need to install ?
| |
| 08:49 | <ogra> use the tool that is installed for user and group maintenance in your desktop
| |
| 08:49 | it has an option for ltspfs
| |
| 08:49 | <BlackDark> do I still need to add the directives for localdev in lts.conf ?
| |
| 08:50 | <ogra> thats in there by default
| |
| 08:50 | ltsp-build-client in feisty adds a default lts.conf with sound and loicaldev enabled
| |
| 08:51 | MoL0ToV has quit IRC | |
| 08:51 | <BlackDark> umm it has the right to

| 10:04 | <blackdark|away> ogra : if hte user has the right to use ltspfs, what could be wrong ?
| |
| 10:05 | <ogra> blackdark|away, you fiddled around with yout lts.conf could be a reason, ltspfs not being installed in either server or chroot could be another
| |
| 10:05 | nt using ldm could also be one
| |
| 10:05 | *not

| |
| 10:05 | <sbalneav> Take a shuffle through that last link.
| |
| 10:06 | <blackdark|away> thanks
| |
| 10:06 | * ogra cries .... | |
| 10:06 | <ogra> debconf hates me :(
| |
| 10:06 | highvoltage has quit IRC | |
| 10:07 | <sbalneav> ogra: it just doesn't know what a nice person you are.
| |
| 10:08 | <ogra> well, it cant run twice on one machine apparently
| |
| 10:08 | Avatara has quit IRC | |
| 10:08 | <ogra> and since d-i occupies the file descriptor already, it breaks if ltsp-build-client calls apt-get in the chroot
| |
| 10:08 | since that invokes a new debconf frontend
| |
| 10:09 | looks like i have to rewrite half of ltsp-build-client to make it work as i want
| |
| 10:10 | and redirect all output of every plugin
| |
| 10:10 | *murm*
| |
| 10:11 | <sbalneav> What's this for? Getting status messages during the build?
| |
| 10:11 | <ogra> no, getting progress reporting in the installer
| |
| 10:12 | <sbalneav> right, that's what I meant. This is so we don't have the "stuck at 50% for a long time" issue.
| |
| 10:12 | Rewriting half of build-client's a big job.
| |
| 10:12 | <blackdark|away> it's a local problem
| |
| 10:13 | the usb pendrive is not mounted automaticly
| |
| 10:13 | <sbalneav> Couldn't we just echo > /dev/ttysomething, and put a note up on the screen telling people to look on ttysomething for status?
| |
| 10:13 | <ltsppbot> "ogra" pasted "new udeb frontend script" (24 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/297
| |
| 10:13 | <blackdark|away> if I connect to the term, I can mount the drive manually
| |
| 10:13 | <ogra> look what i need to do to make the basics work
| |
| 10:14 | <blackdark|away> do it use automount or so ?
| |
| 10:14 | <ogra> yes
| |
| 10:14 | <sbalneav> blackdark|away: The usb pen won't be mounted automatically.
| |
| 10:14 | <blackdark|away> how do it work ?
| |
| 10:14 | does
| |
| 10:14 | <sbalneav> It uses an automounter.
| |
| 10:15 | <monteslu> are lts.conf variable names case-sensitive?
| |
| 10:15 | <blackdark|away> what does trig the automounter ?
| |
| 10:15 | <ogra> if you plug it in, the kernel sends an event udev picks up ... udev triggers an automounter ...
| |
| 10:15 | <sbalneav> monteslu: yes.
| |
| 10:15 | <ogra> the automounter uses the ssh tunnel of ldm to then do the actual mounting
| |
| 10:15 | <blackdark|away> how can I debug that ?
| |
| 10:15 | <sbalneav> blackdark|away: read or write access to the device.
| |
| 10:15 | <monteslu> sbalneav, thatś what I thought, but conflicting documentation regarding keyboard variables
| |
| 10:15 | <sbalneav> with the procedure that's on that page.
| |
| 10:16 | monteslu: Which conflicting docs?
| |
| 10:16 | ogra: Could you use the "tee" command here?
| |
| 10:16 | <ogra> sbalneav, can you ask tee to use different things than stdin/out ?
| |
| 10:16 | else it wont help
| |
| 10:17 | <sbalneav> I beleive so...
| |
| 10:17 | <ogra> the file descriptor clashing is my prob
| |
| 10:17 | <monteslu> sbalneav, http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/ltsp-client.html & http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted
| |
| 10:17 | look at the keyboard things on those
| |
| 10:17 | <ogra> gettingstarted is explicitly for dapper
| |
| 10:18 | <monteslu> so itś uppercase in 7.04 ?
| |
| 10:18 | <ogra> it was always uppercase
| |
| 10:18 | <monteslu> except for dapper,then
| |
| 10:19 | <ogra> no, but dapper didnt care :)
| |
| 10:19 | <sbalneav> What's in the handbook is correct.
| |
| 10:19 | <ogra> right
| |
| 10:20 | <sbalneav> Well, tee goes to a file.
| |
| 10:20 | so couldn't you just tee to the fifo?
| |
| 10:21 | <ogra> sure, what do i gain beyond just using > with that ?
| |
| 10:21 | <sbalneav> Sorry, maybe I'm not understanding the problem.
| |
| 10:21 | <ogra> note that the FIFO needs to be read through fd9
| |
| 10:23 | <sbalneav> ah, so it's the fact that you're calling db_progress while the chroot's building that's the problem?
| |
| 10:24 | <ogra> yes
| |
| 10:24 | <sbalneav> ok, now I see.
| |
| 10:24 | umm, well...
| |
| 10:24 | <ogra> what i need to do is to make all chrooted stuff use a different fd
| |
| 10:24 | and then redirect that to ltsp-build-client's stdout
| |
| 10:25 | <sbalneav> db_progress has to use fd9?
| |
| 10:25 | <ogra> anything above 3 as i understood ... else you spam the debconf screen with messages
| |
| 10:27 | <sbalneav> Well, me, personally, I wouldn't have a problem with all that stuff just being echoed to > /dev/tty11 or wherever, and just tell people to check on that tty for status.
| |
| 10:27 | <ogra> actually i need to implement the in-target script from the debian-installer-utils package into ltsp-buil-client it seems
| |
| 10:27 | thats no option for me
| |
| 10:27 | it has towork as the reast of the installer
| |
| 10:28 | <sbalneav> heh, yeah, you've got internal company policy to deal with :)

| 11:34 | <vagrantc> ogra: so, what did all that symlinkery mess up for you ?
| |
| 11:34 | * vagrantc pokes sbalneav | |
| 11:35 | <ogra> vagrantc, well, it takes kubuntu and xubuntu the opportunity to use their theme icons
| |
| 11:35 | <vagrantc> ogra: ?
| |
| 11:36 | <ogra> xubuntu and kubuntu have their own button themeing etc ...
| |
| 11:36 | <vagrantc> ogra: the *only* symlinks i made were ones that were currently identical
| |
| 11:36 | <ogra> right
| |
| 11:36 | <vagrantc> so ...
| |
| 11:36 | <ogra> they wont stay identical
| |
| 11:36 | <vagrantc> doesn't it make sense to switch them when they aren't identical ?
| |
| 11:37 | <ogra> i dont want to have to check that if any xubuntu dev contributes stuff ...
| |
| 11:37 | so leave them their dirs
| |
| 11:37 | feel free to do whatever you want with the debian or skole ones :)
| |
| 11:37 | <vagrantc> well, we deleted the debian-edu ones.
| |
| 11:37 | they'll maintain it in their own package
| |
| 11:38 | <ogra> right
| |
| 11:38 | <vagrantc> and next time don't revert the debian changes :P
| |
| 11:38 | <ogra> and you linked debians buttons to edubuntus
| |
| 11:38 | <vagrantc> right
| |
| 11:38 | <ogra> which is fine
| |
| 11:38 | anyway, i'm suffering with other stuff here
| |
| 11:38 | <vagrantc> i also put a debian logo in place
| |
| 11:38 | sure sure
| |
| 11:38 | <ogra> yup, saw that
| |
| 11:38 | debconf is giving me grief
| |
| 11:39 | <vagrantc> what sort of grief?
| |
| 11:39 | did you move almost entirely away from debconf ?
| |
| 11:39 | <ogra> d-i grief
| |
| 11:39 | not with the udeb
| |
| 11:39 | which needs a total rework *now*
| |
| 11:40 | problem is, if d-i occupies the debconf frontend, ltsp-build-client breaks
| |
| 11:40 | <vagrantc> ouch
| |
| 11:41 | <ogra> i'm already blowing little steam rings out of my ears here while trying to wrap my head around fd redirection
| |
| 11:42 | debconf itself only works if i pipe the output of ltsp-buil-client through a fifo which in turn is piped through fd9 (or so) ...
| |
| 11:42 | that works well as long as only debootstrap runs ... the moment apt-get update runs it breaks ...
| |
| 11:42 | <vagrantc> what changed that caused it to break ?
| |
| 11:42 | <ogra> nothing
| |
| 11:42 | it never worked
| |
| 11:43 | <vagrantc> the udeb never worked ?
| |
| 11:43 | <ogra> we had no progress reporting in the udeb
| |
| 11:43 | <vagrantc> ah
| |
| 11:43 | got it
| |
| 11:43 | <ogra> cjwatsons answer was that we shouldnt use chroot in ltsp-build-client
| |
| 11:43 | <vagrantc> can we spit the output to a file, and then parse the file for a progress bar ?
| |
| 11:44 | <ogra> but implement something like in-target from d-i-utils
| |
| 11:44 | <vagrantc> not use chroot in ltsp-build-client ? that's a trivial change :)
| |
| 11:44 | <ogra> heh
| |
| 11:44 | <vagrantc> actually ...
| |
| 11:45 | <ogra> well, in-target sets some debconf vars amongst other stuff
| |
| 11:45 | <vagrantc> if we implement ltsp-chroot ... which could behave differently if run from d-i
| |
| 11:45 | then our code could stay sane
| |
| 11:45 | <ogra> well, yes
| |
| 11:45 | we would have to replace all chroot calls
| |
| 11:46 | same as the in-target approach
| |
| 11:46 | <vagrantc> yes, but if we handled the chroot calls in ltsp-chroot, and have some way to define that ltsp-chroot uses in-target ...
| |
| 11:47 | then we only have to make the d-i weirdness in a single place
| |
| 11:47 | <ogra> and have a --in-d-i switch
| |
| 11:47 | or some such
| |
| 11:47 | <vagrantc> or an environment variable
| |
| 11:47 | <ogra> hmm, i just realize that my approach wont work anyway :P
| |
| 11:48 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
| 11:48 | <ogra> apparently the mksquashfs progress output isnt properly pipeable
| |
| 11:48 | * vagrantc plays with a "new" laptop | |
| 11:48 | <ogra> ooooh !
| |
| 11:48 | how's the visa situation btw ?
| |
| 11:48 | any news ?
| |
| 11:49 | <vagrantc> it's beurocratic and complicated to even get started
| |
| 11:49 | <ogra> yeah, thats expected ...
| |
| 11:49 | its got governments involved ....
| |
| 11:49 | <vagrantc> so, not really any news worth mentioning
| |
| 11:50 | still struggling with exactly what even needs to be applied for
| |
| 11:50 | there's numerous different visas, permits, etc. and not really much definition of what is for what
| |
| 11:53 | <sbalneav> back, sorry was away.
| |
| 11:53 | Gimme a chance to read.
| |
| 11:56 | ok, so what are we doing opposite the symlinks?
| |
| 11:56 | <vagrantc> just copying everything over, apparently.
| |
| 11:56 | <sbalneav> okie
| |
| 11:57 | So long as everyone's happy, I'm happy :)
| |
| 11:57 | * vagrantc makes mild but inconsequential grumbling sounds | |
| 11:58 | <sbalneav> I don't care one way or the other: this is a "packaging" thing to me, and I'll leave that to people who know packaging more than I do. :)
| |
| 11:59 | I got my hands full with code + docs :)
| |
| 11:59 | <vagrantc> i just saw a way to significantly reduce the size a bit, but apparently it is unpopular
| |
| 12:00 | in the long-term, i think we should have a "common" theme directory, and themes should only put in bits that differ from common.
| |
| 12:00 | that would be simpler than symlinks
| |
| 12:00 | though ogra's concern that something might break for the others would still stand ...

| 12:01 | <vagrantc> though having separate files for everything doesn't really change that, in my opinion.
| |
| 12:01 | <sbalneav> If it were me, I'd ask why we're including k* x* ed* debian themes at all, I'd have thought they'd be separate packages that would be maintained by each distro, but that's just me :)
| |
| 12:01 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: that's what i would suggest, yes :)
| |
| 12:02 | <sbalneav> we'll hash that one out next time :)
| |
| 12:02 | <ogra> right
| |
| 12:02 | <vagrantc> we need an "LTSP" theme.
| |
| 12:02 | <ogra> feel free
| |
| 12:02 | <sbalneav> ok, off for some excersize. Doctor's been waving his finger at me.
| |
| 12:04 | <ogra> hmmm
| |
| 12:04 | is there a way to have a "virtual tty" ?
| |
| 12:05 | like xvfb

| |
| 13:42 | if so, you should be able to, yes
| |
| 13:42 | <monteslu> wasn't there a rapper that went by "mighty d" ?
| |
| 13:42 | <ogra> vino in gnome works so i wouldnt see a reason why krfb shouldnt ....
| |
| 13:47 | rcy has quit IRC | |
| 13:53 | <mighty-d> ogra, i try to run krfb in the client
| |
| 13:54 | but when i use krdc i get a black screen
| |
| 13:54 | still i can see how i move the mouse pointer in the thin client screen
| |
| 13:55 | i know this is because the display is running on the thin client, and not in the server, but how do i solve this?
| |
| 13:59 | ogra, is there any other way to take over a thin client's terminal?
| |
| 14:12 | dmorar has joined #ltsp | |

| |
| 14:13 | ill repeat my question, whenever i try to run krfb in the thin client, and then connect with krdc i get a black screen, i know this is because i try to get the display from a thin client that thinks its the server, is there any other way to control user's terminals ?
| |
| 14:17 | <ogra> is that ltsp5 ?
| |
| 14:19 | <dmorar> no, unfortunatelly it isnt

| 14:37 | <ogra> thats why we dont use it anymore ;)
| |
| 14:37 | dmorar has quit IRC | |
| 14:37 | <loather-work> hmm. what are we using instead?
| |
| 14:37 | * loather-work is still on ... 4.3? | |
| 14:38 | <ogra> a virtual alsa device on top of a pulseaudio stream
| |
| 14:39 | <loather-work> that's much more sexy than esd.
| |
| 14:39 | 'cause everything (worth a damn) supports alsa
| |
| 14:39 | <ogra> works a lot better as well :)
| |
| 14:39 | <sbalneav> We're all about the sexy here at LTSP :)
| |
| 14:39 | <ogra> and you have volume control
| |
| 14:39 | <loather-work> yes, volume control is nice :)
| |
| 14:40 | i think i blew my headphones debugging a problem with our setup
| |
| 14:40 | <ogra> we'll go for hal integration next release i think ... so we'll have recording by then and autodetection (plug in your usb headset and it just works)
| |
| 14:41 | hotpluggable sound devices its a great thing :)
| |
| 14:41 | <loather-work> *niiiiice* ... when's the next release? (bad question, i know. Speculative guesses are OK)
| |
| 14:41 | I agree. Hotpluggable anything that Just Works(tm) is great.
| |
| 14:43 | <ogra> well, ltsp5 is depending on the distro release its built in ... for ubuntu thats 8.04 .... (current dev release is just being stabilized for october), no idea when the next debian release is :)
| |
| 14:43 | i guess "if its ready"

| 15:05 | <gu> can that pulse audio device be used in conjunction with a jack server?
| |
| 15:06 | <ogra> probably, i never tired that (we dont have jack in main in ubuntu, so i dont really test such stuff)
| |
| 15:06 | if the jack server can use the alsa device as backend i see no probs though
| |
| 15:07 | <gu> i'm planning to use ltsp at a small radio station - would be great if it would be possible to use ardour, but that depends on jack
| |
| 15:08 | i don't know if jack only works with alsa real-hardware devices
| |
| 15:08 | K_O-Gnom has quit IRC | |
| 15:08 | <ogra> well, it should work with the virtual device as well
| |
| 15:08 | K_O-Gnom has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:09 | <ogra> from a client side view the device looks like any other alsa device
| |
| 15:09 | <gu> ok - so i'll just take a closer look

| 20:02 | <loather-work> ok, i'm convinced that nfs on linux is stupid./
| |
| 20:02 | <MS_slayer> how stupid?
| |
| 20:02 | :)
| |
| 20:06 | <loather-work> stupid enough so that if the permissions are wide open, it *still* returns permission denied on the client.
| |
| 20:06 | <jammcq> what are you doing, when you get the error?
| |
| 20:07 | <MS_slayer> i haven't encounter that kind of problem
| |
| 20:07 | <loather-work> mount -t nfs server:/opt/ltsp /tmp/ltsp
| |
| 20:07 | nothing specia.
| |
| 20:07 | <MS_slayer> what is the /etc/exports?
| |
| 20:07 | <jammcq> on the server, do this: showmount -e
| |
| 20:08 | <loather-work> /opt/ltsp *(rw,no_root_squash)
| |
| 20:08 | <jammcq> what distro?
| |
| 20:08 | <loather-work> F7
| |
| 20:08 | on the server, anyways
| |
| 20:08 | <jammcq> is your client listed in dns or /etc/hosts ?
| |
| 20:08 | <loather-work> in /etc/hosts, yes
| |
| 20:09 | <jammcq> see anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog ?
| |
| 20:11 | <loather-work> just the normal garbage about an authenticated mount request on the server
| |
| 20:13 | <jammcq> are you doing the mount as the superuser ?
| |
| 20:13 | <loather-work> yup
| |
| 20:13 | <jammcq> umm, been a while since I played with Fedora
| |
| 20:14 | <loather-work> yeah, i wonder if there's some sort of stupidity going on with that
| |
| 20:14 | <jammcq> the error you are getting is 'Permission Denied' ?
| |
| 20:14 | <loather-work> mount: server:/opt/ltsp failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
| |
| 20:14 | <jammcq> lots of poeple using Fedora 7 with LTSP, and that depends on NFS, so I'm thinking there's nothing inherently wrong with Fedora/NFS
| |
| 20:14 | ah
| |
| 20:14 | on the server, do this: exportfs -ra
| |
| 20:14 | then try your mount again
| |
| 20:14 | <loather-work> yeah, done that :)
| |
| 20:14 | <jammcq> recently?
| |
| 20:15 | <loather-work> yeah :)
| |
| 20:19 | see. No reason it should be doing this, right?
| |
| 20:19 | well. there's a reason, of course, but it's probably not a good one :)
| |
| 20:31 | <MS_slayer> back
| |
| 20:31 | captain_magnus has quit IRC | |
| 20:32 | <MS_slayer> loather-work: how about restarting the nfs daemon?
| |
| 20:33 | also check for portmap daemon is running
| |
| 20:33 | <jammcq> if portmap wasn't running, then showmount wouldn't work
| |
| 20:33 | captain_magnus has joined #ltsp | |
| 20:33 | <MS_slayer> oh right
| |
| 20:34 | how about SELinux?
| |
| 20:34 | <jammcq> that's what i'd worry about
| |
| 20:34 | <loather-work> MS_slayer: tried that several times. SElinux is disabled on both systems
| |
| 20:34 | <jammcq> i've got no experience with that
| |
| 20:34 | <MS_slayer> mm FC7 is such a grumpy baby
| |
| 20:34 | ok what else
| |
| 20:35 | <loather-work> it really is. i've had to clue-by-four it back into being useful more than once
| |
| 20:37 | <MS_slayer> let me search my magic book :)
| |
| 20:38 | i have 107,178 messages in my Fedora folder :)
| |
| 20:40 | do you define anything in /etc/hosts.deny hosts.allow?
| |
| 20:40 | <loather-work> nope. tcp_wrappers needs to die a horrible death
| |
| 20:41 | although, adding ALL:ALL to hosts.allow makes no difference
| |
| 20:41 | <MS_slayer> nice
| |
| 20:41 | are you using the latest kernel?
| |
| 20:42 | <loather-work> 2.6.22.2
| |
| 20:43 | so not quite the latest. but pretty close :)
| |
| 20:43 | <MS_slayer> do you still have the older kernel?
| |
| 20:43 | looks like the newer kernel has problem with nfs
| |
| 20:44 | > I have been struggling to update my machines to fedora 7 with the latest
| |
| 20:44 | > kernel. We are getting a crash of the kernel as shown below.
| |
| 20:44 | Drop back a kernel. There is at least one NFSv4 problem in the new kernel
| |
| 20:44 | being worked on upstream and it seems you are hitting it
| |
| 20:44 | <loather-work> yea, this isn't a crash though (and i can't really reboot the machine right now anyways)
| |
| 20:44 | <jammcq> but he shouldn't even be using NFSv4
| |
| 20:44 | maybe he IS using that and that's the problem, in which case he should try v3
| |
| 20:44 | <loather-work> yeah, it's just nfsv3, whatever kernel autoconfiguration uses
| |
| 20:45 | nah, it's v3
| |
| 20:45 | <jammcq> k
| |
| 20:45 | <loather-work> you have to specify nfs4 as the fstype to mount ;(
| |
| 20:45 | and that doesn't work either
| |
| 20:46 | <MS_slayer> oh ok
| |
| 20:47 | sbalneav has joined #ltsp | |
| 20:47 | <MS_slayer> but, make sure you're using v3
| |
| 20:47 | morning scott
| |
| 20:47 | <loather-work> yea, i can specify -o vers=3 but it doesn't change anything
| |
| 20:47 | <sbalneav> Evening MS_slayer!
| |
| 20:48 | <MS_slayer> > What's the purpose of the NFS4 checkbox in securitylevel, and why is
| |
| 20:48 | > NFS access so complicated to setup?
| |
| 20:48 | Using the new format of /etc/exports and 'checking the checkbox' should
| |
| 20:48 | work out of the box.
| |
| 20:49 | FC5 once got me. a forgot what feature, but it seemed that FC5 dropped it, because it planned to use a new cool one, but the new one hadn't been implemented. very annoying
| |
| 20:50 | <loather-work> no firewall on either machine
| |
| 20:50 | and new format of /etc/exports?
| |
| 20:50 | * loather-work googles this | |
| 20:51 | <MS_slayer> there are many FC7 and NFS problems in my mail filter
| |
| 20:51 | <loather-work> ok, so i'm not insane.
| |
| 20:53 | <MS_slayer> Interesting; hadn't noticed that (and it isn't in the release notes :P).
| |
| 20:53 | portmap has been replaced with rpcbind, which is functionally equivalent.
| |
| 20:53 | portmap has been replaced?
| |
| 20:53 | :D
| |
| 20:53 | <loather-work> yup, figured that one out
