How difficult it is to update 6.06+ltsp4.2 to 7.10 and ltsp5?
02:49
<vagrantc>
EXP2: you have to re-install the LTSP part- there is no direct upgrade path from ltsp 4.x to ltsp5
02:50
not sure what the upgrade path is like for 6.06 to 7.10 ...

05:28
does the server need a PXE card as well as the clients

hi all , i am using edubuntu 7.10 and i am trying to boot up a thin client , i succeeded , but when it's about to start X a blank screen appears??
05:49
<cliebow>
osl: what video card in the client..it is possible you may have to creat \n lts.conf ans place it in /var/lib/tftpboot
05:49
<schregge>
hello, i want to connect my scanner to a thinclient. But i can t figuere it out hot to do that under ltsp5
05:49
<cliebow>
[default]
05:49
XSERVER=vesa
05:49
<osl>
cliebow, i moved lts.conf to ../tftboot
05:50
cliebow, i am not sure about the video card in the client
05:50
<cliebow>
hmmm.../var/lib/tftpboot?
05:50
try the vesa driver
05:50
"Scottie would approve"
05:50
<osl>
cliebow, yup , /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/
05:52
<cliebow>
i hgave toi wind up and get wifey out the door for work...
05:52
<osl>
cliebow, thanx , it worked :)
05:53
<cliebow>
that is a start anyway
05:53
in the long run you prob want to determine what vid card you really need
05:53
err driver
05:53
<osl>
cliebow, yeah , sure
05:54
<cliebow>
be back from school..
05:56
<osl>
cliebow, it says here that the workstation is not autherized to connect to server !!
05:56
cliebow, that's when i try to log in
05:58
<cliebow>
hm...lets see if ogra can advise you...since he wrote it
05:58
you can try ltsp-update-sshkeys on server..but that is a guess
06:03
<osl>
cliebow, i have a question about the image thing , it's a large file , how could this lessen traffic on network !?

hmmm, anyone has a hint to start saned on the terminal?
06:09
<cliebow>
osl: i cant really answer that
06:10
schregge, wait til sbalneav comes in..he can help...i can guess but dont want to lead you astray
06:10
<osl>
cliebow, no prob. thank u :) the ltsp-update-sshkeys worked btw , but i needed to update the image too
06:10
<cliebow>
ltsp-update-image
06:10
<osl>
cliebow, yeah
06:10
<cliebow>
run that..and go have a ciggie
06:11
<schregge>
ok
06:11
<osl>
cliebow, i did and it worked :)
06:12
cliebow, in fact i am aiming to build a cluster over LTSP-5
06:12
<cliebow>
schregge, if you're handy you could add a line in something like rc.sysinit and ltsp-update-image
06:12
osl: you need to talk to ogra..
06:12
it has been bantered about for a long time
06:13
<osl>
ogra__, are u there ?

07:23
<schregge>
well, now i can access my scanner, but it stops in the middle of the page... then looked intomy syslog for some information..... but they are comming up very slow.... even when i swich off a client i get syslog infos....
07:24
<bails>
excuse me but is there any documentation for ltsp5 and local apps, I've googled and looked on the ubuntu wiki but all to no avail

07:30
<schregge>
has anyone an idea for my syslog problem?
07:31
<bails>
have you tried tail -f |grep YOUR_HOST ?
07:31
<sbalneav>
bails: No, local apps hasn't been sorted out fully yet.
07:31
It's what we'll be working on solving next week.
07:32
<bails>
ok in that case sbalneav should i just give up on ltsp5 till next week
07:32
ort the week after
07:32
<sbalneav>
Well, it won't be implemented next week :)
07:32
<bails>
didna think so
07:32
<sbalneav>
But we'll have a plan on how to solve it in a week or two.
07:33
You could set it up today, but it's rather difficult, and a completely manual process.
07:33
<bails>
OK I'll go back to ltsp-4.2 foe now then cheers
07:33
<sbalneav>
It's no different from setting up localapps for 4.2
07:33
Which is also a completely manual process :)
07:34
<bails>
well yes but at least ltsp-4.2 actually runs a sshd on the clients with LOCAL_APPS=Y
07:34
<sbalneav>
You can do the same in 5
07:34
<bails>
whereas ltsp5 doesnt appear to
07:34
<sbalneav>
just install the sshd in the chroot
07:37
<schregge>
i am using tail -f syslog | grep 192.168.2. but the messages are comming up toooooooooo late (7 minutes...)

07:38
<schregge>
yes
07:38
i can now access my scanner
07:38
but it get stucks after a few inchs
07:39
<sbalneav>
Have you tried setting up SCREEN_02=shell, and poking around on the thin client itself? Maybe there's some dmesg's that might shed light on the problem.

g'morning
08:02
<Blinny>
g'mornin!
08:02
<ogra_cmpc>
hey jammcq
08:02
<Blinny>
Hey jammcq - is it possible to recompile a newer i810 driver to work with the XOrg in my FC6 box?
08:02
<jammcq>
prolly not
08:03
fc6 uses an older version of Xorg
08:03
<Blinny>
Crap.
08:03
and I couldn't compile against those libraries/headers ?
08:03
<ogra_cmpc>
it will likely use functions that arent in teh old libs
08:03
<Blinny>
or is it a crap shoot
08:03
<jammcq>
Xorg goes through massive changes from version to version
08:03
<Blinny>
Damn.
08:03
<jammcq>
hang on, mtg
08:03
<Blinny>
I'm still trying to fix those GX110 boxes.
08:03
K. Thanks.
08:03
Thanks ogra_cmpc also
08:04
<ogra_cmpc>
(i cant compile teh ubuntu 7.04 drivers on 7.10 due to new xrandr functions in teh 7.10 xorg)

08:06
<ogra_cmpc>
well
08:06
rewriting lbus ???
08:06
i didnt see more from him yet
08:06
<Blinny>
sbalneav: Yeah.
08:06
<ogra_cmpc>
aprtr from poking in obsolete code
08:06

08:06
<ogra_cmpc>
will he come ?
08:07
<sbalneav>
I beleive so.
08:07

warren: do you plan to come to the ubuntu UDS ?
08:07
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, UDS?
08:08
<ogra_cmpc>
ubuntu developer summit
08:08
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, I probably can't spend the entire week there
08:08
<ogra_cmpc>
and there is a fosscamp before
08:08
starting on saturday
08:08
warren: but you will be there ? (would be great to have you in teh ltsp sessions :) )
08:09
<warren>
ogra_cmpc, I should know when are the most relevant sessions, and I will probably need "formal" invitation in order to take time off from the office.
08:09
<ogra_cmpc>
i'll check what we can do there
08:10
<sbalneav>
Hey warren, didn't know you were idling
08:10
<ogra_cmpc>
the schedule is pretty flexible so we can take days you csan come into account with the planning
08:10
<warren>
sbalneav, yes, I burn diesel constantly. Gotta keep the planet warm.
08:12
<sbalneav>
Skip the diesel, convert to burning ethanol.
08:12
That way, you can run off beer :)

Hi there! SInce yesterdaymy ltsp isup and running. But there is one problem: On the think client only I (as the server's principal user) can login correctly. All others see long tome the waiting icon, then the go back to the login screen. Why that?
08:47
Hi cdealer !
08:48
<cdealer>
[sbalneav]:: dude... after doing a passwd -e user the user password in fact has been expired... When the user tries to login from the thinclient it gets a message saying the password was expired but after entering the new password all light is asked it stays in the login prompt and dont go out from there
08:50

08:55

08:55* cdealer
08:56
<Guaraldo>
sbalneav: Can I install LTSP5 in a server that has LTSP4.2 installed? They will work together in a window of time of tests???
08:56
<Gadi>
rjuney: running around as usual
08:57
<upro>
Sorry for asking this again (might be an obvious probem, but I couldn't solve this with the FAQ). Only one user can login into the thin client. Maybe an Xauth problem, but how can I solve it?
08:58
<sbalneav>
Guaraldo: Should. You'll need some dhcpd magic, but other than that.
08:58
upro: Check the .xsession-errors file of a user that can't log in.
08:59
<upro>
sbalneav: there's no .xsession-errors in the iser's $home...
08:59krishna_ has joined #ltsp
09:00
<sbalneav>
can you ssh into the box as that user?
09:00
ssh user@box
09:01
<upro>
sbalneav: into the thin client or from the client to the server?
09:01krishna has quit IRC
09:02
<ogra_cmpc>
upro: from anywhere to the server
09:03
<upro>
I have only one client and my server. I can use the client when I log in as myself. Then I have access to everything.
09:03
But I can't as someone elkse (who has an account on the server)
09:04
I see things like: xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/stella/.Xauthority
09:04
XTaran: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
09:04
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
09:04
Xlib: No protocol specified
09:04
giving up.
09:04
xinit: unable to connect to X server
09:04
<ogra_cmpc>
where do you see that ?
09:05
<upro>
in the shell I used to ssh
09:05
... on the server
09:05
<ogra_cmpc>
so thats a logfile on the server
09:05* cdealer
09:06
<ogra_cmpc>
that looks like a local login attempt, not like an ltsp one
09:06
(ltsp usually doesnt use :0.0)
09:06
<upro>
ogra_cmpc: I don'thave any users in /opt/ltsp/i386/home. I that normal?
09:07
<ogra_cmpc>
yes
09:07
you dont log in on the client usually
09:07
only for debugging purposes of the boot
09:08
<upro>
I did not change /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf. DO I have to do this?
09:08
<ogra_cmpc>
no
09:08
if the boot e4nds properly on a graphical login screen all is fine with lts.conf and ltsp
09:09
<upro>
ogra_cmpc: ok, this part is working. Other users just can't login...
09:09
<ogra_cmpc>
what happens exactly if such a user tries to ?
09:10
does it hang infinitely ?
09:10
or do you get dropped back to teh login screen again
09:10
<upro>
it hangs (blackscreen with "wait!" icon), threnitgoes back to the login screen
09:11
<ogra_cmpc>
and the user doesnt have a /home/$USER/.xsession-errors file at all ?
09:12
<sbalneav>
Can you log in as that user on the console?
09:12
<ogra_cmpc>
s/console/server console/ :)
09:13
<sbalneav>
ogra_cmpc: What the heck am I doing wrong:
09:14
ltsp-build-client --mirror file:///media/cdrom0
09:14
it complains it can't mount /proc in the chroot
09:14
<ogra_cmpc>
sudo ltsp-build-client --mirror file:///cdrom
09:14
sudo ?
09:14
<sbalneav>
I am root.
09:14
I'm always bad and do a sudo -i :)
09:14
<ogra_cmpc>
weird
09:15
i'm root for teh first time since years here on teh classmate :)
09:15
<sbalneav>
just cdrom? not /media/cdrom?
09:15
<ogra_cmpc>
/cdrom should be a link
09:15
<sbalneav>
ok
09:15* cdealer
09:15
<sbalneav>
I'll try that.
09:16
<ogra_cmpc>
but thats nothing to do with the proc error
09:16sgonzalez has joined #ltsp
09:18
<upro>
ogra_cmpc: sorry (my wife meeded me - we have two little baies). No, the user does not have a /home/$USER/.xsession-errors on the server
09:19
indeed, I can't login as that user on the server's console...! But it works without problems in X
09:20
I get the same xauth timeout errors
09:20
<sbalneav>
You can't log in as that user on the server's console?
09:21
<upro>
sbalneav: correct. But in X it works
09:21
<sbalneav>
What do you mean: in X it works? Can you log in graphically as that user or not?
09:21
<rjune>
Gadi: somebody was in last night, not sure who, wanted somebody to talk at their lug
09:22
up in NYC. same ISP as you
09:22
<upro>
grphical login works witout problems (when no other iser is oogged in)
09:22
sbalneav: But I can't log in on the tty console
09:23
<sbalneav>
Something's wrong with that user then.
09:23
<upro>
sbalneav: not sure if "tty concole" is the technically correct term. I mean console without X
09:23
<Gadi>
rjune: u snooping my ISP ;)
09:24
<rjune>
well, I am half a stalker
09:25
anyway, I told him that you lived in NYC.
09:25* cdealer
09:26
<sbalneav>
That's going to get darned annoying if every 10 minutes his IRC client tells us he's out for lunch :)
09:26
<ogra_cmpc>
heh
09:26
i was about to sy the same
09:27
<rjune>
but, how else will we know?
09:27
<ogra_cmpc>
cdealer: can you switch that notification off ?
09:27
<sbalneav>
ogra: you got time to help me with a quick packaging question?
09:27
<ogra_cmpc>
sure
09:27
<upro>
sbalneav: I created a new user, and everything works fine. What cold be wrong with that particular user?
09:28
<sbalneav>
Here at legalaid, I have some custom scripts, setup files, etc, that I've made into packages.
09:28
upro: No idea
09:28
ogra_cmpc: Now, what I did, (when I didn't know better) was to make a directory hierarchy, with etc, usr, etc, and a DEBIAN dir, with control, postinst, etc in it.
09:29
<upro>
sbalneav: I'll just kill the user completely and burn his $HOME.
09:29
<sbalneav>
then I run dpkg -b on that, and get the deb
09:29
<upro>
sbalneav: Anyway, there are no files in there.
09:29
<sbalneav>
I suspect that that's not the RIGHT way to do it.
09:29
<upro>
sbalneav: then I'll play god and wak him up from the dead.
09:29
<ogra_cmpc>
well, use a debian/rules file and cp commands to copy the dirs into teh package
09:30
or even a .install file and call dh_install from teh rules file
09:30
<sbalneav>
that's what I'm thinking.
09:30
<ogra_cmpc>
the .install can also include whole toplevel dirs
09:30
<sbalneav>
Got an example package that consists mostly of just script/etc files I could look at as an example?
09:30
<ogra_cmpc>
usr/ debian/usr would work for example
09:31
not from teh top of my head
09:31
might be teh ltsp-manager package is built like that
09:31
i usually build my first scrap package with cp commands and translate that into debhelper later

ogra_cmpc, my schedule that week is flexible, let me know when relevant LTSP sessions are and I'll be there.
09:43
<ogra_cmpc>
the fosscamp (sat,sun) is supposed to be for upstream relationship, so we'll have more general sessions on teh first weekend
09:44
the BOFs during the week will rather be specdific for feature development of single features we want this release cycle
09:45
i want to put up my ltswpfs-virtual-hal-devices spec again, since you asked about lktspfs and that will have some impact on its future i guess it would likely make sense to have you there

Good afternoon! I'm trying to install the fix for the Thin Client Manager <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallX11VncOnLtspClients> and I'm stuck on the x11vnc after chroot'ing. I believe I need to open the repos for the chroot (I'm not sure I'm saying this right... hope someone understands!) Can someone tell me how to do that?
12:37
To clarify... I'm trying to install x11vnc and I believe since I've chroot'ed, I'm "in" the client. I did edit /etc/apt/sources.list, but it's still giving me an error about the CD's.
12:38

12:41
<vagrantc>
sonjag: well, i'm trying to figure out if you have entries in your sources.list left over from the install that won't work unless you do something manually.
12:41
sonjag: if your installed used file URLs, then chance are those repositories aren't available.
12:42

12:56
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: are you inside the chroot ?
12:56
<sgonzalez>

12:56
<Blinny>
I think he's already in the chroos
12:56

12:57

sgonzalez: ok, so run the same command, but get rid of the /opt/ltsp/i386 part ...
12:57

12:57
<sgonzalez>
vagrantc: the egrep command?
12:57
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: yes.
12:58
<sgonzalez>
vagratnc: root@crick:/opt# egrep '^deb file' /etc/apt/sources.list
12:58
deb file:///cdrom feisty main restricted
12:58
<vagrantc>
ok.
12:58
sgonzalez: so, you need to change file:///cdrom to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
12:59
or some other ubuntu mirror
12:59
sgonzalez: then run apt-get update
13:00
<sgonzalez>
vangrantc: how do I do that? I have changed /etc/apt/sources.list to include all the repos and ran apt-get update, but that's not as chroot. It seems that when I chroot, this issue comes up. Does that make sense? I'm not sure of myself here.
13:00
<vagrantc>
i can't make sense of it, no.
13:01
sgonzalez: why don't you exit out of the chroot ...
13:01
sgonzalez: then i can be clear about what files we're editing.
13:01
<ogra__>
vagrantc, yeah, sorry for being such a slacker
13:02
<vagrantc>
ogra__: so, i know you said there was code in there not ready for merge, but i think i merged some even more broken code earlier in the process, so i may just merge what you have.
13:02
<ogra__>
thanks for the ping, i didnt even notice it was outdated
13:02
<sgonzalez>
vagrantc: because I'm trying to follow these directions <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallX11VncOnLtspClients> and it wants you to chroot first. If I exit, will it matter? (Let me know if this is more support than you wanted to really give... )
13:02
<vagrantc>
ogra__: maybe you should write a cron.daily script that checks the version uploaded against the version pushed
13:03* vagrantc hands sgonzalez over to ogra__
13:03
<vagrantc>
ogra__ actually works on edubuntu
13:03
<ogra__>
but has to leave now
13:03
<sgonzalez>
vagrantc: thanks for the help...
13:04
<vagrantc>
heh
13:04
<ogra__>
sgonzalez, make sure the sources.list in the chroot (/opt/ltsp/i386) contains an entry for universe
13:04
easiest is to just copy over the file from the server root
13:05
<sgonzalez>
ogra: there is nothing in the /opt folder...
13:05
<ogra__>
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list
13:05
??
13:05
how do you mean there is noting in the /opt folder ?
13:05
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: if you're chrooted, then there will be nothing in the /opt folder
13:05
<ogra__>
heh, indeed
13:06
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: so exit out of the chroot ... and do as ogra__ says
13:07
when you do: "chroot /opt/ltsp/i386" essentially everything in "/opt/ltsp/i386" gets ... moved ... to "/"
13:08
sgonzalez: chroot basically restricts what you see to only a the part of your filesystem that you're chrooted into....
13:08
<sgonzalez>
vagrantc and ogra: ahhh, now my chroot'ed apt-get update works and my apt-get install x11vnc. I think you both. Do you know of a good page for an explanation of chroot? I should study up on that, it seems.
13:09
vagrantc and ogra: I actually thank you both, not think you both :)
13:09
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: i don't know of a good way to explain chroot... the man page isn't particularly meaningful if you don't already understand it
13:10
<sgonzalez>
vagrantc: I'll look in the ubuntu docs. Thanks.
13:10
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: basically, chroot restricts the command to only a part of your filesystem ... so when you type "chroot /opt/ltsp/i386" then everything in the /opt/ltsp/i386 directory now looks like it's in "/"
13:10
that's about all there is to it.
13:10
<sgonzalez>
vagrantc: why does it exist?
13:11
vagrantc: ugh... is that a "why is the sky blue" question?
13:11
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: not quite, but close :)
13:11
it exists because it's useful ?
13:11
it allows you to run a command in a custom environment, basically.
13:12
or restricted environment
13:12
or isolated or separated
13:12
there's lots of uses for it
13:12
<ogra__>
repair broken systems :)
13:13
<sgonzalez>
vagrantc: Grasshopper will do her homework... ooh, repair broken systems... that's what I'm trying to do! We crash 3-4 times daily right now.... very educational ;)
13:13
<ogra__>
if you have a liveCD you can boot from, you can usually fix every misconfigured linux install with chroot :)
13:13
<vagrantc>
sgonzalez: it just allows you to change context
13:14* ogra__ relocates to the classmate
13:15

ogra and vagrantc: Thanks so much. I have so much to learn... I will read up :)

13:40
<Guaraldo>
Yep...
13:41
<vagrantc>
Guaraldo: there's a bug in initramfs-tools that probably wasn't yet fixed in feisty... you'll need to remove the ip address from root-path
13:41
<Guaraldo>
vagrantc: option root-path "192.168.5.3:/opt/ltsp5/i386";
13:41
<vagrantc>
Guaraldo: and possibly use next-server, if the NFS server is different from the DHCP server.
13:41

Ok...
13:42

so ... option root-path "/opt/ltsp5/i386"; and next-server 192.168.5.3;

Whatsup everyone
16:51
Can anyone tell me why some of my clients are not able to boot via PXE? /var/log/messages follows:
16:51
dhcpd: ICMP Echo reply while lease 10.25.32.50 valid. dhcpd: Abandoning IP address 10.25.32.50: pinged before offer
16:52
Seems like something screwy with my dhcp pool...?
16:54
In any case, this is the only message that pops up, and about 5 of 35 clients could not boot via pxe...
16:57
hmm - nevermind, this looks like address conflicts to me...what's weird is that there should be plenty of addresses for everyone regardless, but the pxe dhcp times out. is dhcp kinda slow when it pings (and finds) hosts, and cycles to the next available address lease?

does anyone here have much experience in getting a pxe based remote install server to run installs of windows based operating systems from boot?
18:12
<vagrantc>
wrong channel
18:13
<SubZeroLux>
is there a _right_ channel for that sort of question?
18:15
<vagrantc>
certainly not the channel for *Linux* Terminal Server Project
18:15
it would seem like some windows channel would be more appropriate ...
18:16
<SubZeroLux>
being that the source server that contains the pxe system in question *is* linux based... where else should i look, since ##linux directed me here.
18:16
i would feel dirty for going in there.
18:17
besides, i figure if i asked something like that in there the primary return i would get is 'just run RIS under server- duh.' which is NOT what i am looking for.
18:20jammcq has joined #ltsp

<vagrantc>
SubZeroLux: well, on linux, all you need to do is configure dhcp to tell your pxe client where to download the bootloader from (either pxelinux or etherboot), or download your kernel directory.
18:21
and configure a tftp server to serve up those files
18:21
<SubZeroLux>
right, and that was done, i've tried many different configurations, none seem to complete an install process
18:21
the ultimate goal being an addition to a server i already run that is designed specifically with remote network installations in mind. i have all the nix distro's that i use on it and functioning well already, i just need to add windows clients for the same.
18:22
<vagrantc>
good luck
18:22
SubZeroLux: you apparently have all the knowledge common to LTSP and what you're trying to do.
18:23
seems like a windows forum is the most appropriate place for your question from here on out.,
18:24
