00:35 | <friendly_fire> are clients supposed to be chrooted to /opt/ltsp/i386 by default, or do I need to do that with pam?

00:35 | <johnny> friendly_fire , are you having a problem?
| |
00:36 | the client install can be modified by using the chroot, but the clients are *not* chrooted there
| |
00:36 | <friendly_fire> oh
| |
00:36 | i think i get it then
| |
00:36 | i was expecting them to be on /home in that, and not the real /home
| |
00:36 | <johnny> the clients have a copy of /opt/ltsp/i386
| |
00:36 | that they use to boot from
| |
00:37 | either via nfs by mounting it
| |
00:37 | or by default ubuntu via nbd
| |
00:37 | which actually serves a squashfs image
| |
00:37 | so they are getting served animage generated by the chroot (thus ltsp-update-image)
| |
00:38 | <friendly_fire> what i'm having is i boot a client, i make a file on the desktop, and that file is placed in /home/user/Desktop
| |
00:38 | <johnny> on the server
| |
00:38 | ?
| |
00:38 | <friendly_fire> and not in /opt/ltsp/i386/home/...
| |
00:38 | is that the idea?
| |
00:38 | yes, on the server
| |
00:38 | <johnny> yes
| |
00:38 | that's how it is
| |
00:38 | <friendly_fire> ok, if that's how it is that's fine. I was thinking it would all be in /opt
| |
00:38 | <johnny> :)
| |
00:38 | well there ya go :)
| |
00:39 | <friendly_fire> thanks a lot for that help, really clears some stuff up
| |
00:39 | <johnny> feel free to ask anything else..
| |
00:39 | about ltsp that is :)
| |
00:39 | <friendly_fire> will do, thanks

09:38 | <warren> cyberorg: that's a mkdst bug
| |
09:38 | cyberorg: fix is already committed, but I need to push the new mkdst
| |
09:39 | <cyberorg> warren, no, i don't use mkdst
| |
09:40 | <warren> cyberorg: you should be using mkdst to generate the tarball at least.
| |
09:40 | <cyberorg> we should be manually doing touch Changelog, it should be present already or may be ./autogen.sh should create it
| |
09:40 | *shouldn't
| |
09:40 | <warren> it is a stupid autoconf bug that it wants a specific filename and fails without it
| |
09:41 | but no, I am not adding an empty ChangeLog to the source repo
| |
09:42 | <cyberorg> start adding things in Changelog, so packagers know what changed
| |
09:42 | <warren> no
| |
09:42 | we decided for that package that ChangeLog is generated by mkdst directly from the bzr log
| |
09:43 | mkdst tar is the official way to create tarballs from the bzr tree.
| |
09:43 | LTSP upstream official
| |
09:45 | mkdst tar --from-tag=0.5.2 in this case
| |
09:45 | <cyberorg> ok, hopefully now we will see upstream release tarballs

11:17 | <zeltron> Hi !
| |
11:17 | Everybody' sleeping or can I ask a question ?
| |
11:18 | <nobios> ask it
| |
11:19 | <zeltron> Thanks. I'm trying to make ltsp5 work with Debian Etch
| |
11:19 | I can't boot on the nbi.img
| |
11:19 | It's loaded on the thin client, but when it tries to boot,
| |
11:20 | I got a message like : it isn't initrd (bad magic number)
| |
11:20 | and then the client reboots
| |
11:21 | <klausade> zeltron: don't ask to ask, just ask. upload errormessages (might be something in syslog) to some paste-service
| |
11:21 | <zeltron> During ltsp-build-client, I got a message (when installing linux kernel 2..6.18-486) like this :
| |
11:23 | Hmmm ! package shipped with a symbolic link to sources, but not found, therefor removing source directory
| |
11:23 | (it's not the exact message, just what I kept in memory)
| |
11:24 | Klausade : I didn't know if the channel was working on week end ;-)
| |
11:24 | rat has joined #ltsp | |
11:24 | <rat> i need to boot from my hard disk
| |
11:24 | pls help me with procedure
| |
11:25 | anybody here
| |
11:26 | <zeltron> Can't upload errormessages, I'm home, and the server is shut down at work
| |
11:27 | <rat> no i jst want like have hard disk in my client so i want to put the image of boot disk in hard disk
| |
11:27 | so it initializes the network
| |
11:29 | <klausade> zeltron: hehe, not working in the weekend .... That would be the day.
| |
11:29 | <zeltron> I already tried a lot of issues, I made it work with Ubuntu, search for a long time on the net, but found no answer
| |
11:30 | Klausade : I'm not working on the week end, but though, I'm on the channel trying to find a solution ;-)
| |
11:31 | In fact, the only solution I see is trying to get an nbi.img from a server that works under Debian Etch
| |
11:32 | or someone who could explain to me how is build this file, then I can try to build it by myself and see if it works
| |
11:32 | <vagrantc> zeltron: it would be most helpful if you could ask the questions while you have access to your server and thin-clients
| |
11:33 | Q-FUNK has joined #ltsp | |
11:34 | <zeltron> vagrantc : Yes, I know, but when I posted on the channel this week, someone said : this is a problem for vagrantc,
| |
11:34 | Trying to connect today and I saw you were here, so I hoped ...
| |
11:36 | But maybe we could take a rendez vous on this channel for last week and try to resolv this problem when I'm in front of the machine ?
| |
11:38 | <vagrantc> i'd be glad to help, it's just nearly impossible to help without having access to the machines
| |
11:40 | <zeltron> vagrantc : it's ok. When do you think we can meet here next week ? (last week, everytime I was connected, you were not)
| |
11:40 | <vagrantc> zeltron: though, if you're using a recent version of etherboot everywhere, it probably supports PXE, and the simplest option would be to point dhcpd.conf's filename to just load pxelinux.0
| |
11:41 | <zeltron> My dhcp server propose the choice between pxelinux and nbi, but thinclients always "chooses" nbi
| |
11:42 | (lines : if vendor.... pxe else nbi)
| |
11:42 | <vagrantc> yes, you could try hard-coding it to use pxelinux
| |
11:43 | <zeltron> I'm not a "pro" with thin clients, it's my first try... I'm not sure I've understood everything about this
| |
11:43 | Subhodip has quit IRC | |
11:44 | <vagrantc> none of us understand everything... at least the people being honest
| |
11:44 | MacIver has joined #ltsp | |
11:44 | <zeltron> My clients seem (for what I can understand) to boot with etherboot
| |
11:45 | <vagrantc> yes, and recent versions of etherboot can pretend to be PXE clients.
| |
11:45 | so try feeding them the stuff for PXE.
| |
11:45 | <zeltron> I already tried to force client boot on pxelinux, but it didn't work (don't remember the message, but I noted it at work)
| |
11:45 | <vagrantc> ok.
| |
11:46 | did the systems come with etherboot pre-installed?
| |
11:47 | or could you try with a boot floppy or boot CD?
| |
11:47 | !bootfloppy
| |
11:47 | <ltspbot> vagrantc: "bootfloppy" is http://etherboot.anadex.de or ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/Universal_boot_floppy
| |
11:47 | <zeltron> Sorry I must leave (it's week end and I've got to take back my children). Hope we can meet soon on the channel
| |
11:47 | boot from a floppy : it's for a room for students, not really adapted !
| |
11:49 | Must leave. Bye.

15:53 | <sean_> hi, my client is getting a lease but then i get tftp - pxe-t01 - file not found
| |
15:53 | <johnny> ...
| |
15:53 | more info..
| |
15:56 | <sean_> sorry, this is my first install, the documenation seems to skip over this pivoting of control through dhcp, so I'm not sure how the client actually gets it files
| |
15:57 | <johnny> distro
| |
15:57 | ?
| |
15:57 | <sean_> other than some magical force
| |
15:57 | ubuntu
| |
15:57 | <johnny> version
| |
15:57 | c'mon guy.. help me help you
| |
15:57 | <sean_> hardy heron
| |
15:57 | amd 64
| |
15:57 | packages installed from repos
| |
15:57 | one nic
| |
15:58 | <johnny> do you have /opt/ltsp/i386 ? and a reference to tftp in /etc/inetd.conf ?
| |
15:58 | assuming your thin clients are i386 ...
| |
15:59 | <sean_> sean@irvltsp:/opt/ltsp$ ls /opt/ltsp/
| |
15:59 | amd64 images
| |
15:59 | that's a no
| |
15:59 | don't have a inetd.conf file at all
| |
15:59 | <johnny> are your thin clients i386 ?
| |
16:00 | <sean_> yes
| |
16:00 | <johnny> rm -rf /opt/ltsp/amd64 and run ltsp-build-client -a i386
| |
16:00 | did you install ltsp-server-standalone ? or just ltsp-server ?
| |
16:01 | <sean_> just ltsp-server I think
| |
16:01 | <johnny> so you have a seperate dhcp server?
| |
16:01 | <sean_> I'm getting a usage message on that build client command
| |
16:01 | <johnny> if you have /etc/ltsp/ with some dhcpcd file in it. then you installed
| |
16:02 | show me
| |
16:02 | err then you installed standalone
| |
16:02 | <sean_> sean@irvltsp:/opt/ltsp$ ltsp-build-client -a i386
| |
16:02 | /usr/sbin/ltsp-build-client: invalid option -- a
| |
16:02 | LTSP Build Client usage:
| |
16:02 | <johnny> oh.. maybe it has to be --arch=i386
| |
16:02 | suprised it doesn't support the short option
| |
16:02 | ltsp-update-image does..
| |
16:03 | <sean_> ok that's working
| |
16:03 | <johnny> so, do you have a file in /etc/ltsp with dhcpcd in the name /
| |
16:04 | err dhcpd *
| |
16:04 | <sean_> yes, I appear to have installed both
| |
16:04 | <johnny> standalone installs server
| |
16:04 | <sean_> ok
| |
16:04 | <johnny> it just brings in a dhcp server and other friends
| |
16:04 | do you have another dhcp server on your network?
| |
16:05 | <sean_> well I knew the server was working, because the client was getting a lease
| |
16:05 | on the router, it's turned off
| |
16:05 | <johnny> here's what happens
| |
16:05 | 1. network boot
| |
16:05 | 2. get dhcp lease
| |
16:05 | 3. download kernel and initramfs via tftp
| |
16:06 | 4. boot off that kernel, load rootfs
| |
16:06 | what does the section say in /etc/ltsp/ltsp-dhcpd.conf
| |
16:06 | or whatever it's called.
| |
16:07 | should have something related to your netboot setup.. i forget which, as i don't use that dhcp server

16:08 | I have edited some of that

16:08 | <johnny> see.. it's looking for i386

16:08 | and you didn't have that
| |
16:08 | <sean_> yes, I see
| |
16:08 | cool
| |
16:08 | <johnny> are you sure you hvae no references to tftp in /etc/inetd.conf ?
| |
16:08 | could you pastebin it ?
| |
16:08 | <sean_> could I have just changed it amd?
| |
16:09 | <johnny> no.. your i386 clients wouldn't work

16:09 | <sean_> ok

16:11 | wow, it's booting

16:12 | that's phenomenal

16:36 | <Zyna> what do I have to do to my client station now to boot ltsp-server on my ubuntu?
| |
16:45 | <johnny> that's too broad of a question
| |
16:46 | <Zyna> well, as far as I understood I have to setup my grub to boot via LAN... but I'd need details on that
| |
16:46 | <johnny> no.. you don't use grub normally
| |
16:48 | if your clients can pxe boot, then that's all you need
| |
16:48 | after installing the necessary packages

16:55 | <bahadunn> hi
| |
16:56 | I have a ubuntu LTSP server running in kvm and I am trying to network boot a real machine and also other guest machines using kvm but they all hang after getting an ip and loading the image
| |
16:56 | any ideas?
| |
17:00 | <johnny> need more info
| |
17:00 | <bahadunn> like what?
| |
17:00 | <johnny> you tell me
| |
17:00 | don't know anything about kvm really
| |
17:00 | or how it might affect the network stack.. like whether you're using bridged or nat
| |
17:01 | <bahadunn> kvm is a linux virtualization
| |
17:01 | <johnny> i know what it is.. just not how it works
| |
17:01 | <bahadunn> I am using bridged
| |
17:01 | actually now that you mentioned bridged I think that might be the problem
| |
17:01 | I seem to vaguely recall something about briding and certain network things not working together well
| |
17:02 | <johnny> well i'm using bridged with virtualbox, and it works fine
| |
17:02 | with ltsp that is
| |
17:02 | but then again.. my dhcp server is external
| |
17:02 | it does get the image and boot from the virtualbox image, and vice versa on my gentoo ltsp setup
| |
17:02 | the virtualbox bridged client boots from my host ltsp server on that too
| |
17:03 | <bahadunn> I also have a dhcp server
| |
17:03 | <johnny> is it setup correctly?
| |
17:03 | <bahadunn> I mean a seperate one outside of a vm
| |
17:03 | yes it is setup correctly but not for ltsp
| |
17:03 | <johnny> does it tell where to find your image file and stuff?
| |
17:03 | <bahadunn> I will need to configure it for that
| |
17:03 | <johnny> modify the config to match /etc/ltsp/ltsp-dhcpd.conf
| |
17:03 | and use next-server
| |
17:03 | <bahadunn> okay
| |
17:03 | <johnny> to tell it to point to your vm IP
| |
17:03 | <bahadunn> okay
