<johnny_>
have you found anything ?
01:03
anything that might work that is
01:04
<mathesis>
nothing
01:05
<johnny_>
what are they missing?
01:05
you should write out your requirements
01:06
it seems like youd' have to either: buy a commercial solution, write your own, or fix up an existing project
01:06zodman has quit IRC
01:06
<johnny_>
the cheapest solution atm is to buy a commercial solution
01:07
obviously a more worthwhile cause would be the other two options

<outofrange>
I want to try and debug pulseaudio on the client. It's getting "Illegal instruction" on the client.
09:04
I installed gdb but the binary is stripped. Do I have to install a development environment into my chroot? I don't really see any other way.
09:06
<prpplague>
outofrange: generally speaking when you see "Illegal Instruction", that means the binary has been compiled for a processor type that is different that the one you are executing the binary on, i.e. you compiled the binary for I686 and you are running it on a i386 machine
09:06
<outofrange>
Maybe the wrong version ended up in the powerpc repo?
09:07
<kaminski-ltsp-br>
sbalneav, hi
09:07
<prpplague>
outofrange: it was a binary that is in the repo?
09:07
<outofrange>
$ file /opt/ltsp/powerpc/usr/bin/pulseaudio
09:07
/opt/ltsp/powerpc/usr/bin/pulseaudio: setuid ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
09:07
<kaminski-ltsp-br>
sbalneav, I'll talk about the ltsp at Latin American Free Software Conference
09:08
<outofrange>
Looks ok. And I can run pulseaudio --version and get the version on the powerpc client, so that's not it. Plus it works on newer powerpc IBook
09:08frownix has joined #ltsp
09:08
<outofrange>
Something specific to this older iMac client.
09:09
So, seems like I might be stuck trying to compile from source unless there's a newer version of the .deb available for powerpc.
09:09
<prpplague>
outofrange: there are different powerpc instruction sets , i would suspect that it is compiled for a newer instruction set
09:09IRCzit1 has left #ltsp
09:10
<outofrange>
So maybe I could just grab the .deb source and build that on the older iMac.
09:10
Man, that would take forever!
09:10
It would also bloat my powerpc chroot a bit. Not sure if that's much of a problem or not.
09:22
Any problem with having extra packages in the $chroot other than taking more time to build the image?
09:23
<mcfloppy_>
what need a ltsp client kernel?
09:24
<outofrange>
?
09:24
<mcfloppy_>
i got the message: Kernel panic - not syncing VFS unable to miunt root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
09:27xeph has joined #ltsp
09:27
<xeph>
anyway to disable a network card when my thin client boots up? It has two and using the wrong one as eth0...
09:27slidesinger has joined #ltsp
09:28
<outofrange>
Maybe: ./conf/initramfs.conf:DEVICE=eth0
09:28
Just a guess (with the help of grep)
09:28spectra has joined #ltsp
09:30
<xeph>
will try
09:30
thanks!
09:32
it boots up, gets an IP, and loads the image, but then stalls when it assigns the eth devices to the network cards and tries to get an IP from a device that doesn't have a cable plugged in
09:33
brb
09:33xeph has quit IRC
09:34
<ogra>
outofrange, good guess, he would have to set DEVICE to eth1 in his case ... prob here is that then all his clients will try to boot from eth1 no matter if it exists
09:36makghosh has quit IRC
09:38xeph has joined #ltsp
09:39
<xeph>
nope - changed it to eth1 and still doesnt work
09:39
<ogra>
you need to regenerate the initramfs and mae ltsp-update-kernels put it into place if you change initramfs.conf
09:40
but as i said in #edubuntu already, all these chnges will apply to all you clients
09:40
i.e. if you force booting from eth1 the single NIC ones would break
09:41
<xeph>
ah
09:41
<ogra>
one option would be a script that generates iftab on boot and puts in the right values for eth0
09:41
<xeph>
the thing is - I edited iftab and assigned the devices to eth1 and eth0 and it still didn't work
09:42
<ogra>
is that ubuntu gutsy ?
09:42
<xeph>
no 6.06
09:42
<ogra>
oh, thats antique ...
09:43
<xeph>
:) We didn't have a need to upgrade.
09:43
we needed more thin clients and the only ones our suppliers had in stock were these dual nic ones
09:43
<ogra>
right, but HW detection was significantly different in ubuntu 1.5 years ago :)
09:44
<xeph>
should I just try upgrading and see how it goes?
09:44
<Gadi>
xeph: are you just trying to disable a network iface in the client?
09:44
disable in the BIOS
09:44
done
09:45
<xeph>
can't disable in bios - only allows disabling of primary nic and then it doesn't boot at all
09:45
<Gadi>
you have two onboard NICs?
09:45
<xeph>
gadi, yeah but upon boot
09:45
Gadi, yes
09:45
<Gadi>
then, there's a jumper on the board no doubt
09:46
<xeph>
It's a little packed thin client with a warranty void is broken sticker :(
09:46
the primary nic is a Via Rhine and the other is a RealTek RTL8139too
09:47
would just be great if I could boot of the RealTek
09:47
<Gadi>
well, if you have no other via rhine thin clients, you can blacklist the driver
09:47
and then reroll the initramfs
09:48
<ogra>
yeah
09:48
<xeph>
no I cant- the Via Rhine is what the thin client uses to boot of
09:48
<ogra>
another thing, did you just try to plug the cable into the other one ?
09:48
<xeph>
I have no other realtek's ... I think
09:48
<Gadi>
xeph: so blacklist the realtek
09:49
<xeph>
how do I do that? delete the driver?
09:49
<Gadi>
no
09:49
add a line to: /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
09:49
then: chroot /opt/ltsp/i376 update-initramfs -u
09:49
<xeph>
ogra, I tried it but I get an Intel exited error when I boot up
09:49
<ogra>
then: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ update-initramfs -u
09:49
and sudo ltsp-update-kernels
09:49
<Gadi>
then ltsp-update-kernels
09:50
hehe
09:50
<ogra>
Gadi, youre no friend of sudo eh ? :)
09:50
<xeph>
okay - I have to swap switches to do this. Brb. Thanks guys.
09:50
<Gadi>
ogra: Im no friend to carpel tunnel
09:50
:)
09:50
<ogra>
heh

sbalneav, so how do i commit to the branches now that you decided to move away from LP ? i thought we agreed to kepp the code under ltsp-drivers so we can use LP for ACLs
09:53* ogra also seems to not be able to find all brances now ... i got ltsp and ldm from the now location
09:54
<ogra>
but cant remember the others and there is no way to search them or read the code
09:56
s/read/browse/
09:57* ogra sighs

can you help me outofrange

<yopla>
do you have option root-path='/opt/ltsp' in dhcpd.conf?
10:47
<mcfloppy_>
moment
10:48
<outofrange>
yopla: what does root-path do in dhcpd.conf? I was trying to understand that the other day.
10:48
<mcfloppy_>
option root-path "/var/opt/ltsp/i386";
10:48
<yopla>
this is used by initrd
10:49
it is where is nfs root
10:49
<mcfloppy_>
or must i include the ip?
10:49
<yopla>
nope.
10:49
<mcfloppy_>
the other clients are running
10:49
<yopla>
ip is in next-server
10:49
<mcfloppy_>
at the moment i try to compile a kernel for my n2200
10:50
<outofrange>
But if using nbd instead of nfs then root-path is not used?
10:51
<yopla>
donno. nbd is for swap by default
10:51
what is n2200?
10:51
<outofrange>
In ltsp5? I think nbd is used for the chroot.
10:51
<mcfloppy_>
a thin client
10:51
<yopla>
ho ok
10:52
<mcfloppy_>
http://www.bluetrait.com/archive/2005/7/
10:52
i must compile a own kernel
10:52
i think there something wrong in the config file
10:54
<yopla>
which distrib do you use?
10:54
<mcfloppy_>
debian
10:54
<sutula>
mcfloppy_: Why does it need it's own kernel? If it does, maybe it needs it's own chroot.
10:54
<mcfloppy_>
hmm
10:54
cause the client want the kernel as elf executable
10:55jammcq has joined #ltsp

ltsp-build-client doesn't work?
10:56
<mcfloppy_>
i run it once time.... for the other clients
10:56
these are running
10:56
<yopla>
OK I think there is something special to do with this client
10:57
<mcfloppy_>
yes
10:57
everyone says, that no 2.6er kernel is running
10:57
<yopla>
from there : http://linux-2200.berlios.de/
10:57
<mcfloppy_>
but now i found a special hack... and so it runns
10:57
but now is the next problem...
10:58
the problem i descriped above
10:58
<rafaelcardoso>
ltsp-build-client for me dont download all files and fail, how i can resolv this
10:58
<mcfloppy_>
rafaelcardoso which distro
10:58
<rafaelcardoso>
ubuntu
10:58
<mcfloppy_>
aptitude update
10:59
<rafaelcardoso>
yeah
10:59
<mcfloppy_>
what?
10:59
<rafaelcardoso>
test with 7.04 and updated to 7.10 and same error

11:02Avatara has quit IRC
11:03
<yopla>
humm. I think you need special initrd for ltsp
11:03
<rafaelcardoso>
thanks mcfloppy_
11:04
<yopla>
as all mount scripts are in it
11:04
<mcfloppy_>
hmmmm
11:07
<yopla>
try this? http://osdir.com/ml/terminal-server.general/2003-02/msg00300.html
11:08
<mcfloppy_>
ive build the kernel on the server, not in the clients chroot, was this a mistake?
11:09
yopla but i need a 2.6 kernel for ltsp5 or?
11:10
<yopla>
no, not neceserly
11:10IRCzito has joined #ltsp
11:11
<mcfloppy_>
yopla i think ltsp need udev
11:11
<yopla>
humm, yes you'r right
11:11
<mcfloppy_>
:)
11:11
<yopla>
perhaps you should use older ltsp for this client?
11:13
<mcfloppy_>
hmmmm 2 ltsp installations?
11:13
<ogra>
ltsp5 only works with 2.6
11:13DonSilver has joined #ltsp
11:13
<mcfloppy_>
orga do you have an idea? ;=
11:13
:)
11:13

it needs initramfs and udev

11:14
<mcfloppy_>
debian
11:14
ltsp5
11:14
own kernel
11:14
<ogra>
how did you build that kernel ?
11:14
or rather where
11:14
inside the chroot ?
11:14
<mcfloppy_>
no...
11:15
in the root from the server
11:15
<ogra>
the initramfs needs the settings that are in the chroot
11:15
<mcfloppy_>
ok
11:15
i rebuilt
11:15
:)
11:16
<ogra>
copy initramfs and kernel into /boot of the chroot
11:16
<mcfloppy_>
ok
11:16
<ogra>
chroot into it and run update-initramfs -u
11:16
exit the chroot again
11:16
<mcfloppy_>
where can i find initramfs?
11:16
<ogra>
run ltsp-update-kernels on the server
11:16
<mcfloppy_>
must i run make install?
11:17
<ogra>
well, you should have one in the kernel packge you created
11:17
<mcfloppy_>
cause i need a elf executable as kernel
11:17
<ogra>
(assumong you used the deban tools like make-kpkg to build it)
11:17
<yopla>
make-kpkg is your friend
11:17
<ogra>
man, i need a new keyboard
11:18
<mcfloppy_>
ogra i build with the "old" way
11:18
i used make menuconfig and make
11:18
<yopla>
ogra: new fingers? :)
11:18
<mcfloppy_>
then i took the file arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux

mcfloppy_, thats not the compressed kernel image ...
11:19
<mcfloppy_>
yes i know
11:20
i need the uncompressed

it is to build kernels debain way
11:24
debian
11:24
<mcfloppy_>
yes i know
11:25
i do so now
11:25
<yopla>
make-kpkg --with initrd --........ un /usr/src/own-kernel-src
11:25
<mcfloppy_>
$ make-kpkg kernel_image --rootcmd fakeroot --revision meinkernel.01
11:25
hehe
11:25
<ogra>
mcfloppy_, the thing is that ltsp5 is all about using distro packages ... so none of the ltsp devs actually touches the kernel apart from blacklisting modules or so ...
11:26
<mcfloppy_>
ok
11:26
<ogra>
if i miss anything in ubuntu i ping the kernel team ... same goes for vagrantc in debian
11:26
all i need to do then is playing with configs ... but i didnt build any kernel during the last two years
11:27
what do you try to achieve with the custom kernel ?
11:27
its probably possible with the existing one without rebuilding
11:28
<yopla>
it is for an ibm thin client (2200)
11:28
<mcfloppy_>
hmmm
11:28
i need the uncompressed kernel image
11:28
<ogra>
oh, a netvista ?
11:28
<yopla>
yes yes
11:28

hmm, i still dont have such HW ...

11:29
<mcfloppy_>
hehe
11:30
<yopla>
it seems quite hard to put ltsp in it
11:30
<mcfloppy_>
next try to boot
11:30
i think there are many people who wait for a solution

i made a kpkg deb file and installed in chroot... then i updated the kernels
11:32
<xeph>
now I have another little problem :) I get to the ubuntu login screen, login and X dies and the login screen shows up again.
11:32
<ogra>
xeph, just dont forget about it if you once try to add a client with that HW ;)
11:32
xeph, that was dapper, right ?
11:32

ogra, yeah, lol
11:32
<ogra>
sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys
11:32

ogra, dapper correct
11:32

What desktop do you have installed?

check /var/log/auth.log on the server

if there is nothing suspicious, check the users ~/.xsession-errors
11:42
<xeph>
I have - it accepts the password then opens a session for the user
11:42

sounds ok ... seesm the ssh part works then

i'm running edgy
11:45

yopla, no way for autologin in edgy
11:45

:-(
11:45
<ogra>
for feisty there is a patched ldm
11:45
in gutsy its supported by default
11:45
<yopla>
I should dist-upgre to gusty then?
11:46
or just the chroot?
11:46xeph has joined #ltsp
11:46
<xeph>
ogra, there's no ~/.xsession-error file
11:47
<ogra>
can the user log in locally on the server ?
11:47
<xeph>
yup
11:47
<ogra>
yopla, you need to upgrade both
11:47
the gutsy chroot expects things only the gutsy ltsp offers on the server side
11:48
<yopla>
aaargh!
11:48
<ogra>
both sides need to be in sync, else things might break
11:48
<yopla>
this is not really matter as the server only runs ltsp
11:48
<ogra>
xeph, i mean in gdm ...
11:49
<yopla>
I shoud do edgy->feisty->gusty ort gusty directly?
11:49
<ogra>
edgy->gutsy isnt supported or tested by the ubuntu team ...
11:49
so might or might not work
11:49
<xeph>
ogra, ah - the server is headless
11:49
<ogra>
edgy->feisty->gusty works and is supported
11:50
<yopla>
ogra: Thank you
11:50
<xeph>
any idea if dapper->gutsy is supported?
11:50
<ogra>
yopla, if you love the risk you can try the first indeed :)
11:50
xeph, nope, isnt ...
11:50
<xeph>
okay :)
11:50
<ogra>
dapper->hary will be, as they both are long term support releases
11:50
*hardy
11:51
but hardy wont happen before april
11:51
<xeph>
yet another reason to update regularly

Can anyone verify the functionality of the RCFILE_01 variable in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/arch/lts.conf ? I'm trying to run a script that used to fix the problem I have with headphone-jack-sense, but it's not running it. Running it manually works fine, however.

vagrantc, can you verify exactly where I need to have the actual scripts, and how I call them in the variable?
15:18
Right now i have a script called /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ipaqsoundfix
15:18
and the RCFILE line in my /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf reads:
15:18
RCFILE_01 = ipaqsoundfix
15:19
<vagrantc>
lns: try /etc/init.d/ipaqsoundfix
15:19
<johnny_>
it would be on the server?
15:19
hmm
15:19
<vagrantc>
RCFILE_01 = /etc/init.d/ipaqsoundfix
15:19
<lns>
I'm pretty sure i've tried with that as well
15:19

oh ok
15:19
full path included
15:19
on the chroot :)

15:20

15:22* johnny_ thinks about local apps again
15:22
<johnny_>
i wonder..
15:22
<vagrantc>
but i can at least see that it boots and what processes are running
15:22
poke at log files, etc...
15:22
<johnny_>
if there was an easier way to enable local apps per client, in case of a crazy mixed env
15:23
<vagrantc>
johnny_: it's in progress
15:23
<lns>
that's a good idea vagrantc ... after it boots graphically you can always use thin-client-manager i guess
15:23
<vagrantc>
i got my hands on a machine that supports serial console ... once in a while you get a kernel panic and you have to get someone to manually reboot it, though.
15:24
<lns>
btw, does thin-client-manager use vino (I.E. does a user have to be logged in)?
15:24
<vagrantc>
but even machines without built-in serial console aren't too hard to set up.
15:24
<lns>
that would be nice, because most all of my thin clients are the same hardware
15:24
<johnny_>
vagrantc, can you verify if the solution mentioned here is the proper one ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/160420
15:24* vagrantc doesn't know much about thin-client-manager
15:25
<johnny_>
or if it will cause any problems
15:25

OT: Just for fun, today i tried booting my new asus eee pc via ltsp...didn't work, couldn't find eth0 after it loaded the kernel :(

umm
18:15
umm
18:15
<vagrantc>
heh
18:15
<jammcq>
let's get scotty in on that, and prolly ogra
18:15
<vagrantc>
sure, sure.
18:15
probably best to do via ltsp-developer
18:16
<jammcq>
yeah, warren has been asking that we do developer communications via that list
18:16
which is fine with me
18:16
although I prefer the real-time nature of irc
18:16
<vagrantc>
i think i've got ldm and ltsp building for debian with the new sources, shouldn't be too hard to get jetpipe and ltspfs
18:17
<jammcq>
nice
18:17
<vagrantc>
jammcq: i can see the importance of using the mailing list, to at least summarize discussions of important issues
18:17
that way there's at least an archive of what happened
18:17
<jammcq>
yeah, the list lives in archives, which is good
18:19
<vagrantc>
i'm really happy to finally see LDM split out... the ltsp portion of the sources is 100-200k now, and can be updated independently of ldm
18:19
<jammcq>
great
18:19
<vagrantc>
though all the ubuntu themes comprise 75% of the current LDM sources
18:20
which is about 2.2MB with .tar.gz
18:27

18:28
vagrantc, didnt you use scotts branch from ltsp.org ?
18:28
<vagrantc>
ogra: yes
18:29* ogra is still bitter we dont use ltsp-drivers as agreed, i'd love to commit stuff :/
18:29
<jammcq>
why don't we use ltsp-drivers?
18:29
<ogra>
jammcq, no idea
18:29
<vagrantc>
ogra: you don't like all the code in dist ? i tend to agree, but i wasn't involved in why it was done that way...
18:29
<ogra>
all i know is that th current code is on ltsp.org
18:29
so i cant commit
18:29
<jammcq>
ok, but can't ltsp-drivers be setup on ltsp.org?
18:29
<vagrantc>
yeah, that's an awful place for LTSP code :P
18:30
<ogra>
the idea of ltsp-drivers was to have ACLs for a team that can commit
18:30ace_suares has quit IRC
18:30
<jammcq>
does ltsp-drivers == commit-access ?
18:30
<ogra>
so we can work collaborative on the code
18:30
yes
18:30
<jammcq>
hmm
18:31
well, ltsp.org is where it's at. let's figure out how to permit commit access
18:33
<ogra>
vagrantc, instead of having dist and cp'ing the code around in the makefile i think we should drop dist and move the code back up one level and just do a proper bzr export (like in the bzr-release target in rules)
18:33
<vagrantc>
ogra: i concur.
18:33
<ogra>
debian should go in its own branch ...
18:34
<vagrantc>
ogra: but i had *nothing* to do with deciding on dist
18:34
<jammcq>
nothing is cast in stone. if moving dist helps, lets move it
18:34
<ogra>
jammcq, its useless and doesnt look very pretty
18:35
<jammcq>
you mean dist where it is?
18:35* ogra tries hard to not say ugly ....
18:35
<ogra>
jammcq, do you have the current branch ?
18:35
<jammcq>
no
18:35
umm, maybe
18:35* ogra sighs he cant show it quickly on LP
18:36
<jammcq>
if moving dist makes sense, lets move it
18:36
<ogra>
that branch should at least be mirrored ... i'm missing my tools :)
18:36
removing
18:38
pull the code in dist up one level ... remove the debian dir, fix the makefile to do bzr export --format=tgz; bzr export --format=tbz2
18:38
;)
18:38
saves half of the Makefile scripting

anybody else here use dnsmasq over the standard dhcpd ?

it does tftp too ?

i've used it for DNS and DHCP in the past ...
18:56

yes it does

it works here
18:56
pretty neat huh
18:56
<vagrantc>
what version?
18:56

uhmm.. whatever is in ubuntu for the past 6 months?
18:57

18:57

2.39 is in gutsy
18:57

<johnny_>
2.39-1
18:58
i had it working with feisty too
18:58
and perhaps edgy
18:58
<vagrantc>
looks like debian builds it without tftp support
18:58
<johnny_>
the info says it has tftp..
18:58
<ogra>
likely only synced by MOTU
18:59
<johnny_>
reminds me why i use gentoo at home :)
18:59
<ogra>
it has no ubuntuX version
18:59
should be identical to the debian package
18:59
<vagrantc>
so 2.40-1 in hardy will also likely not have tftp support
18:59
<johnny_>
it says this
18:59
nfigured either in each host or
18:59
in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic
18:59
DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for network booting of diskless machines.
18:59
oops.. only meant the last sentence to copy
19:00
<vagrantc>
yes, but debian disables the tftp support
19:00
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq_2.40-1/changelog

maybe it's not disabled by default, they just make it possible to disable

ubuntu uses only the debian package ... no ubuntu additions in that changelog
19:02* vagrantc wonders if it has all the features needed for PXE
19:02
<johnny_>
oops.. thougth i was using it, somehow some other tftp client got installed
19:02
:(
19:02
yes it is supposed to
19:02
why is it disabled tho?
19:02
it makes no sense
19:02
i had it working on another distro with dnsmasq, looks like some other thing got installed instead on this one
19:02
guess i'll have to roll my own deb
19:03
<ogra>
ask the maintainer or check the upstream changelog
19:03
<johnny_>
uggh
19:03
evil debian
19:03
<ogra>
probably it was disabled upstream
19:03
<johnny_>
i would doubt it
19:03
<vagrantc>
i'm not convinced it's disabled
19:03
<ogra>
the maintainer apprently doesnt like to list upstream changes in the package changelog
19:05
<vagrantc>
i think i misread, i think it actually is enabled by default, they just added an option to disable it during package build-time
19:05
<johnny_>
aha.. well this would have helped.. new feature in 2.40
19:05
on't set REUSEADDR on TFTP listening socket. There's no
19:05
need to do so, and it creates confusing behaviour when
19:05
inetd is also listening on the same port. Thanks to Erik
19:05
Brown for spotting the problem.
19:06
uggh
19:06
ok sorry
19:06
i'll reformat next time so it fits on two lines :(
19:06
that is the problem i'm having with some installed tftp conflicting, at least now i know where it comes from.. inetd
19:06
which i never use on any other server i have
19:07
yay.. stupid inetd

ok.. testing to verify

success
19:22
yay.. ok tftp works for sure
19:22
via dnsmasq that is
19:23
<ogra>
i should add a "or" dependency then so ou can install it without inetd
19:23* ogra makes a note ...
19:25
<johnny_>
the normal tftpd you mean?
19:25
<ogra>
we only depend on tftpd-hpa currently
19:25
<johnny_>
well yeah that
19:25
well other things use inetd
19:25
<ogra>
tftpd-hpa | dnsmasq might help
19:25
<johnny_>
hehe
19:28
ldminfod,nbdrootd,nbdswapd
19:28
they all use inetd
19:28* johnny_ is learning far more about ltsp than he expected
19:29
<johnny_>
maybe cuz i keep pushing the envelope :)

ogra, what directory is Edubuntu using instead of /tftpboot now?
21:39
ogra, what about the location where chroots are installed?
21:39
<jammcq>
I think tftp is /var/lib/tftp
21:39
and the chroots are still /opt I think
