| 05:44 | <X39> Hi there,
| |
| 05:44 | I'm in trouble with LTSP5 on Xubuntu Feisty.
| |
| 05:44 | When I want to start an Xfce session on the client, the session is closed as soon as it is opened: black screen for half a second and return to the gdm greeter.
| |
| 05:44 | If I start a "failsafe terminal" session, it's ok. I can even "startxfce4" from the terminal...
| |
| 05:44 | What makes that I can't start an Xfce session directly?
| |
| 05:44 | Thanks.

| |
| 06:48 | i have problem using blender with ltsp ! can someone help me ?
| |
| 06:48 | <ccherrett> haier_on_Mars: I would hang tight in here for help. I doubt that many blender users in blenderchat can help much
| |
| 06:49 | <haier_on_Mars> ccherrett what should i do so ?
| |
| 06:49 | <ccherrett> haier_on_Mars: what is the problem. Not that I think I will have the answer
| |
| 06:50 | <haier_on_Mars> i'm using ltsp under debian gnome and when i try to open blender, i don't have anything.
| |
| 06:50 | <ccherrett> haier_on_Mars: I wonder if it is opengl over the terminal
| |
| 06:50 | haier_on_Mars: that would be my first guess
| |
| 06:50 | haier_on_Mars: do other programs work?
| |
| 06:51 | <haier_on_Mars> all other programs
| |
| 06:51 | expect bzflag, a 3d game
| |
| 06:51 | <ccherrett> haier_on_Mars: sounds like an opengl problem
| |
| 06:51 | haier_on_Mars: blenders interface is opengl
| |
| 06:51 | <haier_on_Mars> yes
| |
| 06:51 | perhaps
| |
| 06:53 | <ccherrett> haier_on_Mars: check this out: http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05476.html
| |
| 06:53 | haier_on_Mars: seems opengl is possible
| |
| 06:53 | <haier_on_Mars> i found exactely the problem
| |
| 06:53 | when lanchiung blender in a terminal, i have this message :
| |
| 06:53 | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "ws198.ltsp:0.0".
| |
| 06:53 | ERROR: Unable to open Blender window
| |
| 06:56 | <ccherrett> haier_on_Mars: sounds like you are missing the drivers on the server
| |
| 06:56 | <haier_on_Mars> i think that the display is missing in xorg.conf

| 12:53 | <TheProf> Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. I think I screwed up my LTSP server (Fedora Core) rather stupidly, but I'm hoping that it isn't as bad as I think it is.
| |
| 12:53 | In a nutshell, it won't boot because Grub can't find a file.
| |
| 12:54 | Error: 'Booting Fedora Core 2.6.22.1-32.fc6"
| |
| 12:54 | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-32.fc6 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
| |
| 12:54 | Error 15: file not found
| |
| 12:55 | Press any key to continue.
| |
| 12:55 | Pressing a key takes me to the Grub screen where there is the one option for FC and then it cycles. I have access to the FC installation CDs and Knoppix.
| |
| 12:56 | I understand that the issue is that it can't find the appropriate image file to boot up (I think!) but I don't know where it should be or how to confirm it.
| |
| 12:56 | Any help would greatly be appreciated. thanks
| |
| 13:14 | Update: ok playing around with the rescue CD shows me under /boot I have no files (and therefore no Kernel!)
| |
| 13:14 | how can I download the appropriate file?
| |
| 13:32 | <evarlast> mount all your filesystems to some mountpoint like /mnt, then chroot to /mnt and then reinstall your kernel rpms
| |
| 13:33 | <TheProf> evarlast, thanks for helping. I mounted everything up using the rescue CD then I checked under /usr/src/redhat but all the directories under it are empty
| |
| 13:36 | Is this as simple as a yum command?
| |
| 13:45 | <evarlast> if your network is up and yum points to network, then yes.
| |
| 13:45 | the real worry you should have is why were all the files gone from /boot
| |
| 13:45 | <TheProf> evarlast, I just did as you suggested and yum-med in the kernel group.
| |
| 13:46 | There are now the appropriate files in /boot
| |
| 13:46 | <evarlast> good luck on reboot
| |
| 13:46 | <TheProf> In regards to why they are gone from /boot to begin with, I believe that was my error - a power failure occurred (which is where I found out that the UPS connected to the server is dead) and it wouldn't boot so I tried to uninstall and reinstall the kernel
| |
| 13:47 | that's when /boot was wiped.
| |
| 13:47 | I rebooted but I have the same error. I believe grub is looking for a different version/file than the one just installed in /boot
| |
| 13:48 | I'm rebooting back in to rescue CD to get the exact name of the vmlinuz file

| 13:53 | <cliebow> TheProf, make sure you have a /initrd folder ..that bit me a couple tmes
| |
| 13:54 | <TheProf> cliebow,are you talking under /boot or / ?
| |
| 13:58 | evarlast has quit IRC | |
| 14:01 | <TheProf> Oh - I think we're good!
| |
| 14:03 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:08 | <TheProf> Alright I think that yum and then renaming the file in grub.conf did it
| |
| 14:09 | just in time as I have to get going. thank you for your help.
