Hello !
03:32
I have a question about LTSP Users ! If i want to create an user, his homedir must be in /home/USER or /opt/ltsp/i386/home/USER ? But i use this command "adduser test -d /opt/ltsp/i386/home". This good or not? Maybe a special command for creta user in LTSP system. Thanks !
03:33ccherrett has joined #ltsp
03:34
<chrisjrob>
Celui: why are you creating users in the chroot? Only usually created in /home/USER on the server.
03:35shrek has joined #ltsp
03:36
<celui>
Hi, when i create an user, i type adduser test. No more
03:38
<chrisjrob>
Yes.
03:38
You never actually log onto the client, unless you are diagnosing problems
03:39
in which case you use the root account (just set the root password in the chroot to do so)
03:40
when you log in *from* the client, it connects to the server user account
03:41
<celui>
ha ok, i thought it was necessary to create in /opt/ltsp/1386/home ! But the /opt/ltsp/i386/home used for what??

celui: my pleasure!
03:48
i'm having a complete nightmare with a fresh lenny install. followed http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto. client boot fails with "rpc failed: 2". obviously an nfs problem, but /etc/exports seems okay.
03:50
<celui>
You have stop the firewall during the test? Or PORTMAP files no?
03:50
<chrisjrob>
there is no firewall between the client and the server, unless i'm much mistaken.
03:51kysucix has joined #ltsp
03:51
<celui>
And PORTMAP file?
03:52
<chrisjrob>
i restarted portmap and nfs-kernel-server, but no joy - is there something else needed?
03:53
what's the portmap file? /etc/default/portmap is all commented out...
03:54
<celui>
bad.. But i had the same problem and the chnages on this file are worked...
03:55
sorry, i'm fench it's not easy to speak a good english ^^
03:56
<chrisjrob>
your english is better than my french!!
03:56
<celui>
HuHu !
03:57
Ihave looking a how to for Portmap and it's possible to make "dpkg-reconfigure portmap " and reply no to the questioon

i can't figure out how ldm works exactly
05:56
i can boot in my thin client to cli
05:57chrisjrob has joined #ltsp
05:57
<knipwim>
start ldm from startx
05:57
err, start ldm after startx
05:58
i get the greeter, i try to log in
05:58
but the greeter says it can't connect with the server
05:58
is ldm in my client not connecting, or is something on the server not receiving?
06:04alkisg has quit IRC
06:10
<ogra>
knipwim, ldm needs to start from the ltsp initscripts, else you miss the environment
06:10
you should rather try to find out whats wrong with the default, if it doesnt start as it should ...
06:15

on a fresh lenny install i'm having client boot issues. they get passed pxelinux boot process, but nfs mount fails with rpc failed: 2, leaving busybox initramfs prompt with error /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off. client and server are on same subnet and switch. anyone else experienced this?

<ogra>
right, find out why
07:45
thats what i was saying
07:45
<knipwim>
nothing happens on tty7
07:45
<ogra>
what distro ?
07:45
<knipwim>
gentoo
07:45
<ogra>
oh
07:45
then you need to wait for johnny
07:45
<knipwim>
could it be a problem in the gentoo ltsp init script?
07:46
<ogra>
it should use the upstream initscript ...
07:46
afaik all distros use it now

hi
08:35
<knipwim>
hey johnny
08:36
does the /etc/init.d/ltsp-client start work on your gentoo install?
08:36
<johnny>
been awhile since i tested it
08:36
a recent bug report says ldm needs iso-codes now
08:36
<knipwim>
that was mine :)
08:36
<johnny>
after that, it should work from my understanding
08:37alekibango has joined #ltsp
08:37
<johnny>
hmm.. did you say the thing about ltsp-client depending on ldm?
08:37
i'm going to relook at my deps shortly
08:37
<knipwim>
yes
08:37
<johnny>
there was a recent i decided against it
08:37
<knipwim>
ldm should be installed on the client right?
08:37
<johnny>
reason*
08:37
yes
08:37
atm it's depped in the profile
08:38
profile file that is
08:38
i kidna wonder about actually making ltsp a real profile in gentoo terms
08:40
<knipwim>
hmm, i don't know a lot about them
08:40
<johnny>
or even just a set..
08:40
are you familiar with the new sets ..?
08:40
i could make emerge @ltsp-client potentially
08:41
<knipwim>
profiles are responsible for teh default use flags, among other things right?
08:44
<johnny>
yes
08:44
like the default packages for system targets

hi
09:00
i need ldm to set an xsetroot command after starting X, how can i do that ?
09:03
<mushroomblue>
so, turns out, all of the latest HP thin clents are based on the VX800 chipset
09:04
which has issues in intrepid.

<xorITor>
is there a way to make the ldm greeter for ltsp 5 on fedora 10 display a message box BEFORE the login information is asked for?
09:35
ie... "Restricted system.......... by clicking ok you understand and agree to...... "
09:35
blah blah blah
09:35
<Ryan52>
xorITor: potentially. look at the rc.d scripts.
09:36
might be in /usr/share/ldm/rc.d/
09:36
add something that starts with an I
09:36
<xorITor>
Ryan52, yea I am looking into those, but I am not sure about how to make it a "click ok to accept" type of box
09:36
s/box/message box/
09:38
<Ryan52>
xorITor: ldm-dialog --message "blah blah blah."
09:38
if that's not what you wanted, please elaborate.
09:38
<xorITor>
Thank you soooooooooo much... let me try that and get back to you
09:39
<rjune_>
ogra, hope it goes well for you
09:41
<xorITor>
is there a way to put a cancel button on that?
09:42
other than that... it is perfect
09:43
<Ryan52>
while ! ldm-dialog --yesno "blah blah blah. would you like to continue?"; do :; done
09:43
might work.
09:43
tho I don't see why you would want a cancel button.
09:43
doens't really make sense to me, at leas.t
09:45
<xorITor>
depends on if the cancel button kicks them back to the banner or lets them through to the login part
09:45
if it does let them through then there is no point
09:45
Ryan52, you freakin rock! thanks
09:46
where are the docs for this?
09:47
<Ryan52>
looks like it's not. :)
09:48
<xorITor>
:-D
09:48
hehehe
09:48
Ryan52, in that case you rock even harder!

on a new lenny install, our clients are failing with "rpc failed: 2"
10:18
leaving busybox initramfs prompt with error /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
10:19
after three days of fighting this problem, i'm getting nowhere.
10:19
<johnny>
nfs problem i bet
10:19
<chrisjrob>
indeed.
10:19
but what? it's running, the exports are there.
10:19
<johnny>
try mounting them elsewhere
10:19
on some other pc
10:19
<chrisjrob>
i can connect to it from my laptop fine
10:20
<johnny>
yell at the debian maintainer :)
10:20
hehe
10:20
<chrisjrob>
thanks!
10:21* johnny only knows how to use nfs.. not fix it if it breaks
10:22
<johnny>
my used ltsp install is on ubuntu
10:22
<chrisjrob>
same as me!
10:22
<johnny>
which doesn't use nfs at all
10:22
<chrisjrob>
(same as me re. not being able to fix nfs, not being on ubuntu)
10:23
<johnny>
you could always just use ubuntu if you don't get anywhere :)
10:24
i like debian and all... but it gets out of date too quickly.. and i don't feel like pinning everything under the sun to get what i want :)
10:24
<chrisjrob>
in busybox, i notice that /etc/hosts does not exist, is that normal?
10:24
<johnny>
probably
10:25
<Ryan52>
use sid! :P
10:25
<johnny>
lol.. use sid
10:25japerry has quit IRC

when are they gonna run out of toy story character names..
10:25
well.. at this rate.. it'll take awhile
10:25
<Ryan52>
haha
10:27
<chrisjrob>
i wonder about the final error "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"
10:27
<johnny>
that's a normal thing
10:27
if everything else is broken
10:27
<chrisjrob>
blast - hoped it was a clue.
10:27
<johnny>
why not try to mount nfs directly from there?
10:27
<chrisjrob>
same error
10:27
<johnny>
see if that works
10:28
oh
10:28
<chrisjrob>
rpc failed: 2
10:28
<johnny>
well.. look in server logs then i guess
10:28
<chrisjrob>
yup - nothing.
10:28
<johnny>
switch to ubuntu?
10:28
hehe
10:28* chrisjrob scratches head
10:28
<Ryan52>
bad johnny! :P
10:28
<johnny>
Ryan52, well you fix his problem then
10:28* Ryan52 hides
10:28
<johnny>
ah.. see..
10:28
you slacker
10:28* Ryan52 closes bug with status worksforme :P
10:29
<johnny>
that's mean
10:29
<Gadi1>
chrisjrob: have you rebooted the server?
10:29
<johnny>
oh no.. gadi is here
10:29
<chrisjrob>
sadly more times than is healthy!
10:29
<Gadi1>
:D
10:29
and you cannot mount the nfs mount even locally?
10:29
you always get an rpc error?
10:29
<johnny>
from other machines. yes..
10:29
<Ryan52>
it might mean no such file or directory.
10:30
so check that you have your path set right.
10:30
in the dhcp configs.
10:30
<Gadi1>
pastebot your dhcpd.conf
10:30
<johnny>
ah.. now i'll learn how to fix it.. :)
10:30

"chrisjrob" pasted "dhcpd.conf" (56 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/271
10:35
<chrisjrob>
it is slightly more complex, as I am trying to maintain the existing infrastructure.
10:35
but I have also tried cutting back to a basic one from /etc/ltsp and it still failed
10:37
<Gadi1>
did you change the pxelinux.cfg/default at all?
10:38
<chrisjrob>
probably in trying to resolve this issue, but i think it's back to the default now...
10:38
<Gadi1>
can you paste that and your exports file?
10:38
<chrisjrob>
DEFAULT vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img quiet root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp boot=nfs
10:39
exports: /opt/ltsp/ *(ro,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)
10:39
<Gadi1>
and are you sure there are no other dhcp servers on that subnet?
10:40* chrisjrob is checking...
10:40
<chrisjrob>
definitely not.
10:41
both client and server on the same switch and i have tried replacing switch
10:41
with only the server and client on the temporary switch
10:42
and it still failed
10:42
<Lumiere>
are all the nfs services running?
10:42
<Gadi1>
you have been editing /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf, yes?
10:42
and restarting it between edits
10:42
<Lumiere>
or is there a firewall blocking those points?
10:42
<Gadi1>
not /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
10:42
<chrisjrob>
yes Gadi1
10:42
Sorry Gadi, i have been editing /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
10:43
<Gadi1>
ah, that may be the problem
10:43
<chrisjrob>
omg
10:43
<Lumiere>
uh... if you are getting RPC errors... that is not dhcp...
10:43
<Gadi1>
cp /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
10:43
and restart dhcp
10:43
Lumiere: it is if the dhcpd.conf file passes the wrong path
10:44
his error is no such file or directory error
10:44* chrisjrob is rebooting client
10:44
<chrisjrob>
rpc failed: 2
10:45
<Gadi1>
swing and a miss
10:45
:)
10:45
<chrisjrob>
no problem - just so grateful for some help!
10:45
<Gadi1>
does it give you more info on the client before that?
10:45
or in the server logs?
10:45
that might indicate what it is attempting to do
10:45
<chrisjrob>
it gets passed the pxelinux bit and then confirms various
10:45
<Gadi1>
ie, mounting <path> from <ip>
10:46
<chrisjrob>
information, including
10:46
ip's and path, but they all look right afaik
10:46
<Gadi1>
are you booting on eof the reserved IPs in that conf file?
10:47
*one of
10:47
ie, one of the host decls

i can ping it from the server fine, with the ws053 or the ip#
10:48
<Gadi1>
and the server's eth0 is 0.17?
10:48
<chrisjrob>
yes

10:51
<ogra>
use /root
10:51
<Gadi1>
or that
10:52
<chrisjrob>
still invalid arhument, should i be using nfsmount instead
10:52
that fails with rpc failed: 2 though :-(
10:53
<Gadi1>
anything in the logs on the server?
10:53
syslog
10:53* chrisjrob checking..
10:54
<chrisjrob>
nothing in syslog, except for happy dhcp entries
10:55
<Gadi1>
on server, do: showmount -e
10:55

have a look at /etc/default/portmap as well

is /var/run/ltsp-xorg.conf the default autoprobed xorg config file?
11:40
<Gadi1>
ogra: got a sec?
11:40
<ogra>
not really, is it important ?
11:41
<Gadi1>
its a quick one
11:41
just need an opinion
11:41
I patched the compiz script to force fallback wm when display is remote
11:42
my thinking is that remote displays should force compiz with SKIP_CHECKS="yes"
11:42
<ogra>
doesnt that script have something like that already ?
11:42
<Gadi1>
how do you think that would go over with the ubuntu folks?
11:42
no, thats the problem
11:42
<ogra>
ask mvo
11:42
<Gadi1>
it checks local xserver info for compiz-compat
11:42
<ogra>
he has to judge
11:42
<Gadi1>
ok
11:43
is he in ubuntu-devel?
11:43
<ogra>
imho it shouldnt skip, but dtrt
11:43
and that not based on a local logfile
11:43
<Gadi1>
there's no good way to ask a remote Xserver its driver
11:43
thats the problem
11:43
<ogra>
no, but its capabilities
11:43
it shouldnt rely on driver at all imho
11:44
i dont like the design of the whole thing as you might grok :)
11:44
it should chek for GLX and composite
11:44
and ignore the driver
11:45
<Gadi1>
right
11:45
it tries
11:45
but, I guess there are drivers that are broken
11:45
<ogra>
yeah
11:45
i heard something like that
11:46
<Gadi1>
this would be a welcome intermediate step, tho
11:46
in other words: if you cant do a good check don't do a bad one
11:46

should I just get a nightly or something?

cos alpha 5 definitely doesn't include it.
12:59
<ogra>
thats the alpha5 test
13:00
<mushroomblue>
unless it's just not in the F4 menu like it was before..
13:01
cos on initial boot, I had no "install LTSP server" option
13:01
<ogra>
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-5/jaunty-alternate-i386.iso
13:01
built on 25th
13:01
<mushroomblue>
yup. that's the one I'm using.
13:01
<ogra>
well, thats the one the test was for
13:02
<mushroomblue>
I like that the additional instructions for the testcase no longer exist
13:02
<ogra>
should be in F4
13:02
i dont think we have ever put up any :P
13:02
<mushroomblue>
yeah. just set up another virtual machine, and no F4 options.
13:03

is there a way to limit a user to a single session/login with ldm?
13:27
<vagrantc>
etyack: with recent versions ...
13:27
LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION=true/false
13:27
<etyack>
vagrantc: intrepid?
13:28
<vagrantc>
no idea ... was first introduced upstream 2008-07-27
13:28
<ogra>
could be that it made it in
13:29
<rjune_>
What's new ogra
13:29
besides arm
13:29
<ogra>
lots of work :)
13:29
but thats not new i guess :)
13:30
<rjune_>
heh
13:30
You going to pycon in chicago?
13:30
<ogra>
i dont think so
13:30
<etyack>
found it, the option is included in intrepid
13:31
<Gadi1>
vagrantc: I don't see how your cdpinger code works
13:31
got a sec?
13:31
<ogra>
Gadi1, you are always so pessimistic ... tsk
13:31
<Gadi1>
the udev script passes off to cdpinger, but cdpinger calls the udev script
13:31
:)
13:31
<vagrantc>
Gadi1: it's been working for quite some time :)
13:31
<Gadi1>
I know
13:32
I am trying to understand how
13:32
:D
13:32
<vagrantc>
Gadi1: i think the udev rule doesn't call cdpinger if a cdpinger is already running with the appropriate arguments
13:32
<Gadi1>
right, but it exits
13:32
thats what I dont get
13:33
<vagrantc>
because cdpinger will call the script when it actually needs to run
13:33jammcq has joined #ltsp
13:33
<vagrantc>
it's been a while since i've really looked at it ... but it seemed to handle all the possible cases ...
13:33
<jammcq>
hello friends
13:33
<Gadi1>
but cdpinger calls ltspfs_entry on a CD
13:33
which should cause ltspfs_entry to exit
13:34
<etyack>
jammcq: hey hey
13:37
<vagrantc>
Gadi1: it only exits when it starts a new cdpinger
13:37
Gadi1: if cdpinger is already running, it continues on
13:38
<Gadi1>
ah, i see
13:38
<vagrantc>
Gadi1: all those 0's and 1's are hard to keep track of :)
13:43
<Gadi1>
vagrantc: I keep wondering if the problems you experienced with cdroms and local ltspfs were on that same bad tarball image you used
13:43
<vagrantc>
Gadi1: bad tarball was ldm
13:44
<Gadi1>
were you not testing with ldm?
13:44
<vagrantc>
i also had those cdpinger problems with my own tarballs
13:44
Gadi1: i've tried with many tarballs of ldm and ltspfs in conjunction, and they all had the cdpinger problems with local stuffs
13:46

Hi, all...
14:18
I'm looking for a way to have telnet or ssh connection to an LTSP diskless client
14:18
Does anyone know how to do it???
14:18
<rjune_>
used to be able to do it
14:18
probably still can by editing inetd config
14:19
<Guaraldo>
rjune: I'm using LTSP4.2
14:19
<rjune_>
look in ltsp_root for inetd.conf or xinetd.conf
14:20Egyptian[Home]1 has quit IRC
14:21Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp

<Guaraldo>
rjune: but there is no telnetd on the chroot... sshd exists, but how can I autenticate?
14:22
<rjune_>
it auths out of etc/passwd
14:22
you can do ldap have have local users
14:23
<Guaraldo>
rjune LTSP 4.2???
14:23
<rjune_>
yup
14:30mih has quit IRC
14:31
<Guaraldo>

on the chroot
14:33artista-frustrad has quit IRC
14:35
<rjune_>
I may be misremembering that then
14:35
still, You can add users to the passwd and shadow file
14:43
<Gadi1>
Guaraldo: you can copy root's shadow line to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/shadow
14:44
then login to the client as root
14:44
(presuming root on the server has a passwd)
14:44
or do key exchange
14:45
and make you public key an authorized key in /opt/ltsp/i386/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
14:49
<nicros>
does anyone here know how to create openSUSE 11.1 'fat clients' using ltsp and aoe on SLES 10?
14:49artista_frustrad has joined #ltsp
14:49
<nicros>
i found a good document but the fat client plugin is for ubuntu
14:49
<mushroomblue>
stgraber: yeah, it was PEBKAC. next time, I'll make sure I have a problem before getting your attention.
14:49
<Gadi1>
lol - nicros - that's a bit of a do-it-yourself job
14:49
afaik
14:50
with many obstacles along the way
14:50
<nicros>
do you think it would be too difficult
14:50
<Gadi1>
depends how much you know about how suse works
14:50
or, in this case, kiwi
14:50
<nicros>
right now i'm using pxelinux and nfsroot to remote boot 1000 diskless clients
14:51
but nfsroot is not really supported in 11.1
14:51
i know suse but not kiwi
14:51
<Gadi1>
are you using ltsp?
14:51
<nicros>
not right now
14:51
<etyack>
is there a way to limit the password attempts to 1 when using ldm?
14:51
<Gadi1>
etyack: should be default these days
14:52
etyack: if not, then: echo "NumberOfPasswordPrompts 1" >>/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_config
14:53
<etyack>
Gadi1: did that
14:53
<nicros>
i was reading about 'Local Apps', can that be used to run everything on the clients?
14:53
<etyack>
Gadi1: could be related to likewise-open/ad auth on server
14:53
<Gadi1>
etyack: ah, yes you dont have pam configured for one password
14:54
nicros: a few problems that you may have is that kiwi-ltsp is not 100% upstream
14:54artista_frustrad has quit IRC
14:54
<Gadi1>
and does not use upstream's plugin system for ltsp-build-client
14:55
otherwise, you could work from ubuntu's fat client plugin
14:55Remaille has quit IRC
14:55
<Gadi1>
and make changes suitable to suse
14:55Guaraldo has quit IRC
14:55
<Gadi1>
another issue is nobody's bothered with aoe
14:55
in ltsp
14:55
as of yet
14:56
<nicros>
o.k. maybe i'll just try replacing nfsroot with aoe
14:56
<Gadi1>
so, if that's a hard requirement, you need to make sure suse's initramfs can mount a rootfs that way
14:56
<nicros>
or iSCSI

hey all\
14:59
what kind of VLC type program do we use with ltsp (I'm using the kubuntu version, if it matters).
14:59
**VNC, I meant. and would that be a "new session" type of VNC or would it be to use an existing session
15:01
<Gadi1>
FuriousGeorge: many people use italc
15:01
<FuriousGeorge>
Gadi1: thanks... would that be to run an existing session, or would it start a new one?
15:01
<Gadi1>
to control existing ones - though, I think there is a capability to start a new one and have everybody tune into it
15:02
its made with classrooms in mind
15:02* Gadi1 has never set it up
15:02
<Gadi1>
but, other have
15:02
*others
15:02
do a search on "italc ltsp"
15:02
<FuriousGeorge>
Gadi1: thanks, i just found some good docs
15:05hersonls has quit IRC

<nicros>
so with kiwi/ltsp and using 'Local Apps' could i run our application and have it use the clients cpu/memory?
15:07
and have everything else running on the server
15:08
<etyack>
nicros: yes.
15:08cliebow has quit IRC
15:10
<Gadi1>
nicros: just install the application in the client image /opt/ltsp/i386/.... and then you can make a launcher: ltsp-localapps myProgram
15:10
<nicros>
what kind of specs would i need on my server if i have 10 clients running opensuse 11.1 with a light weight desktop like ION or IceWM, just a ballpark figure.
15:10
<Gadi1>
and it will run locally
15:10artista_frustrad has joined #ltsp
15:10
<nicros>
server OS will be SLES 10
15:10* Gadi1 would guess 1.5-2G RAM
15:10
<mushroomblue>
is it possible to get a full XFCE desktop with terminal services/rdesktop support in under 128MB?
15:10
like, a bootable image.
15:11
perhaps I should say "has anyone done it before?"

Thanks for the help, i've got some work ahead of me :)
15:20
mushroomblue : i was able to get opensuse 10.3 with ION-3 under 200 megs or ram.
15:20
<mushroomblue>
hrm. I hadn't thought of Ion.
15:20
<nicros>
it has a smaller footprint than IceWM or XFCE
15:21
it's keyboard based which works really well in our application.
15:21
<johnny>
well.. most people don't really use ltsp thatway..
15:21
in fact.. it's hard to even call it ltsp anymore..
15:22
that's just standard netboot that people do all the time
