03:50 | <alkisg> Is there any way to disable flow control on RTL8169? It doesn't support ethtool and with `modinfo r8169|grep ^parm` I can't see any relevant parameters. It does support mii-tool, but I don't see any option in mii-tool to disable flow control...

03:52 | <EXP__> In 8.04 and ltsp is it possiblte to change ltsp lofin screen language?
| |
03:52 | login
| |
03:53 | <alkisg> I don't think so, it was fixed in 8.10
| |
03:56 | Shingoshi has quit IRC | |
03:56 | <EXP__> is it hard coded to a file, I changed earlier in 7.10 or 7.04 some file where those thing were hardcoded to a file
| |
03:57 | <Appiah> isn't that controled by gdm?
| |
03:59 | <EXP__> LTSP logins don't use GDM (Gnome Display Manager) at all. Instead LDM (Local Display Manager) is used.
| |
04:00 | <Appiah> ah
| |
04:00 | correct
| |
04:00 | <EXP__> I tried to change LDM_LANGUAGE="fi_FI.UTF-8"

05:42 | can anybody help me ?
| |
05:43 | <chrisjrob> this is defined in your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf - specifies the filename to use.
| |
05:44 | <greenmang0> chrisjrob, i have tried connecting server and client directly with crossover cable, and it worked
| |
05:44 | chrisjrob, but if i try through switch it doesn't
| |
05:46 | artista_frustrad has joined #ltsp | |
05:47 | <greenmang0> yelp
| |
05:49 | yelp
| |
05:50 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, you possibly have another dhcp server running somewhere
| |
05:51 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, ok. i need to check

06:11 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, ok, i tried "dhclient eth0" and a router in our network has assigned it an IP
| |
06:11 | cyberorg, i switched router off
| |
06:11 | cyberorg, and tried again , but no luck
| |
06:12 | cyberorg, nbi.img keeps on loading
| |
06:13 | <ogra> if you mean the "filename: ... " output, thats normal, ignore it
| |
06:13 | it shows that even with pxe
| |
06:14 | because the kernel sends a second dhcp request and gets that as answer with pxe
| |
06:14 | (while the actual kernel already loaded via the first pxe request)
| |
06:14 | <greenmang0> ogra, yeah, but client takes around an hour to boot
| |
06:15 | ogra, since yesterday i have been trying to solve the problem w/o luck
| |
06:15 | <ogra> try to add break=top to your pxelinux.cfg/default file
| |
06:15 | if it stops at an initramfs prompt you can be sure its loading pxe
| |
06:15 | * ogra goes back to his meeting | |
06:15 | <greenmang0> ogra, if i connect client-server with crossover cable, it works fine
| |
06:16 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, look for more dhcp servers in your network
| |
06:16 | if you have managed switch, check its settings too
| |
06:18 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, what I actually did is, disconnected all the machines in network, put off router, i could see only 2 leds blinking on switch,
| |
06:18 | client and server
| |
06:18 | cyberorg, it didn't boot
| |
06:21 | alkisg has joined #ltsp | |
06:43 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, any other clue?
| |
06:44 | <ogra> did you try my suggestion ?
| |
06:46 | <greenmang0> ogra, yeah
| |
06:46 | <ogra> so do you get to an initramfs prompt ?
| |
06:46 | F-GT has quit IRC | |
06:46 | <greenmang0> it takes at least 20 minutes to load nbi.img
| |
06:46 | <ogra> so do you get to an initramfs prompt ?
| |
06:47 | else your dhcp setup is broken
| |
06:49 | F-GT has joined #ltsp | |
06:58 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
07:10 | hanthana has quit IRC | |
07:12 | <greenmang0> ogra, i didn't get initramfs prompt
| |
07:13 | <ogra> well, then change your dhcp setup if you are sure your clients are pxe
| |
07:13 | <greenmang0> i edited /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
07:13 | <ogra> and appended break=top ?
| |
07:13 | to the line
| |
07:13 | <greenmang0> and put DEFAULT vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp boot=nfs break=top
| |
07:13 | <ogra> right
| |
07:14 | so if you are sure your clients are PXE, remove the etherboot stuff from your dhcpd config
| |
07:14 | <greenmang0> client just's halts' for 20 minutes at "Loading 192.168.0.192:/ltsp/i386/nbi.img ... (ELF)........
| |
07:15 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, grep nbi.img /etc/* -R
| |
07:16 | <greenmang0> ogra, http://paste.debian.net/29812/ <- /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
| |
07:16 | <cyberorg> run that on the server with 192.168.0.192 IP
| |
07:16 | <greenmang0> /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf: filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
| |
07:16 | /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf.bkp: filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
| |
07:16 | /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf: filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
| |
07:17 | <ogra> remove line 18+19 and 20-22
| |
07:17 | and try again
| |
07:17 | that way you only serve pxe
| |
07:17 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, make a symlink from /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf to /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
| |
07:18 | <greenmang0> ogra, cyberorg ok
| |
07:18 | <cyberorg> and what ogra said
| |
07:18 | <alkisg> greenmang0: don't remove 19...
| |
07:19 | <ogra> err, indeed
| |
07:19 | 18 and 20-22
| |
07:19 | just comment them
| |
07:19 | so you can change back
| |
07:20 | <alkisg> (but if it needs 20 minutes to load nbi.img, maybe it's a tftp problem? He could check with a standalone PC, by installing/running tftp client and doing "bin" and "get /ltsp/i386/nbi.img"...)
| |
07:20 | <greenmang0> ogra, ok
| |
07:21 | ogra, there's a bootrom socket on my nic, i bought some pxe bootroms yesterday to get it working
| |
07:21 | <cyberorg> i never could get the idea of having two dhcpd.conf, it just confuses people
| |
07:23 | <ogra> cyberorg, if debian *uses* the one in /etc/ltsp thats a bug ...
| |
07:23 | its only there as example on debian
| |
07:23 | <cyberorg> then it should be named dhcpd.conf.example just to make sure it is not used as it is :)
| |
07:24 | <ogra> file a bug in debian :)
| |
07:24 | <cyberorg> i'll bug vagrantc when he comes here ;)
| |
07:24 | <greenmang0> ogra, didn't help
| |
07:25 | cyberorg, do we really need /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf?
| |
07:25 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, as ogra said, no
| |
07:26 | <ogra> on ubuntu its used, on debian its just an example
| |
07:26 | <greenmang0> ok
| |
07:27 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, http://paste.debian.net/29814/ try this, dont forget to restart dhcpd
| |
07:28 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, ok
| |
07:29 | cyberorg, do i need to restart other services? openbsd-inetd, tftp-hpa nfs-kernel-server?
| |
07:29 | <cyberorg> no
| |
07:33 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, now it's loading vmlinuz
| |
07:33 | :(
| |
07:33 | last 4 minutes
| |
07:34 | Guest92678 is now known as johnny | |
07:34 | <alkisg> greenmang0: do you have a standalone pc to test the speed of your tftp server?
| |
07:34 | johnny is now known as Guest84310 | |
07:34 | <alkisg> i.e. tftp server; bin; get /ltsp/i386/vmlinuz ?
| |
07:34 | <greenmang0> alkisg, i do
| |
07:34 | but alkisg how do i test it?
| |
07:35 | <alkisg> I've heard of other people having this problem, and it was due to wrong tftpd params...
| |
07:35 | Install the client, tftp-hpa
| |
07:35 | <greenmang0> alkisg, ok
| |
07:35 | <alkisg> aptitude install tftp-hpa
| |
07:35 | Then tftp <ip-of-your-server>
| |
07:35 | Then, inside tftp, do: bin
| |
07:35 | And: get /ltsp/i386/vmlinuz
| |
07:35 | <greenmang0> alkisg, ok
| |
07:35 | ok
| |
07:36 | got you
| |
07:36 | <alkisg> And time it - if it takes 2 secs, it's ok, if it needs more than 1 minute... :)
| |
07:38 | <greenmang0> alkisg, you are right
| |
07:38 | 1 minute boundry crossed
| |
07:38 | alkisg, what do i do now?
| |
07:38 | <alkisg> Then it maybe a tftp-server problem. Which one are you using?
| |
07:39 | <greenmang0> then one which comes default
| |
07:39 | tftp-hpa
| |
07:40 | <alkisg> hm... and you said that if you use a cross-over cable, then it's fast?
| |
07:40 | <greenmang0> alkisg, yeah
| |
07:41 | <ogra> sounds like a prob with the switch
| |
07:42 | <greenmang0> alkisg, that standalone dude is still downloading the image
| |
07:42 | alkisg, oh,,, completed
| |
07:43 | <alkisg> ...or the pxe stack... difficult... greenmang0: sorry, can't help, I've heard this problem happening with other tftp servers, but not with tftpd-hpa...
| |
07:43 | <ogra> might be an inetd issue though
| |
07:45 | <greenmang0> alkisg, http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Debian <- recommends atftpd
| |
07:46 | <alkisg> greenmang0: sorry, I haven't used ltsp in debian, I don't know what to tell you. After the 10-20 minutes it takes to load the kernel and initrd, does the client boot fast?
| |
07:46 | <greenmang0> it takes more than 1 hour to boot
| |
07:47 | <alkisg> So even nfs is slow?
| |
07:47 | <greenmang0> alkisg, how can i determine?
| |
07:47 | <alkisg> -to put this another way- after it boots, does it run OK?
| |
07:48 | <greenmang0> alkisg, actually after an hour i just got mouse pointer on display,,, LDM didn't come
| |
07:48 | <alkisg> (erm, what I mean is: do you have other problems with your network? If you do ssh / if you copy files over the network, is it fast?)
| |
07:49 | <greenmang0> alkisg, yeah indeed
| |
07:49 | i mean
| |
07:49 | no problem with ssh scp
| |
07:49 | ogra, I got initramfs just now
| |
07:50 | after cyberorg gave me new dhcpd.conf,
| |
07:54 | <ogra> btw, how much ram do your clients have ?
| |
07:54 | (and what kind of CPU)
| |
07:55 | <greenmang0> time to leave office, or watchman will start calling me names...
| |
07:55 | ogra, celeron
| |
07:55 | <ogra> and ram ?
| |
07:55 | <greenmang0> ogra, 512
| |
07:55 | <ogra> you should have more than 64M to make it work at all
| |
07:55 | ok, thats fine

08:33 | <Neaai> Hi all. I am strugling still to get the client machine to have access to its local hard disk. I've searched around and followed http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#id2539065 , Chapter 24 Apendix I. What am I missing or where can I look for what's wrong ?
| |
08:33 | <Gadi> !distro
| |
08:33 | <ltspbot> Gadi: Error: "distro" is not a valid command.
| |
08:34 | <Gadi> Neaai: what distro and version of ltsp
| |
08:35 | <Neaai> Gadi: I'm using Debian 5 (lenny) and it's prebundled ltsp of version 5.1.10
| |
08:36 | <Gadi> ah - we deny access to local hard drive by default (security risk)
| |
08:37 | let me look up the lts.conf param to allow it...
| |
08:37 | pmatulis has joined #ltsp | |
08:38 | <Gadi> LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS=False
| |
08:38 | put that in your lts.conf
| |
08:38 | be aware that anyone who logs in will have complete access to all files on that hard drive
| |
08:39 | <Neaai> Gadi: I see. My need for that is that I want to deploy ltsp in an ofice, currently running Windoze. They have a lot of files they currently work with and documnts migration could be very easy once the system is deploied. Once that is done, I'll disable it again.
| |
08:39 | Gadi: got your point. Let me have a look and a try.
| |
08:39 | <Gadi> good luck
| |
08:39 | :)

08:48 | <sbalneav> Morning all
| |
08:49 | So, yesterday, I think I may have finally figured out the bug that's been kicking my butt for the last 2 months.
| |
08:49 | Problem was garbled fonts when printing out docs from OO.o
| |
08:50 | It's looking like Bistream Vera Sans was the problem. So far, if we switch to DejaVu Sans, the problem doesn't come up.
| |
08:56 | <wigwam> please, i use ltsp with ubuntu
| |
08:56 | when i login to ldm on thin client as admin user, i can't unlock gnome administration tools
| |
08:57 | it's possible to change it somewhere?
| |
08:57 | somehow?
| |
08:57 | <sbalneav> wigwam: No, it's a known issue.
| |
08:58 | You'll either have to do the administration from the server console, or, us command-line tools.
| |
09:00 | wigwam: The problem is, the admin tools interact with console-kit, but console-kit isn't remote display aware.

09:11 | <Gadi> module option?
| |
09:11 | <alkisg> modinfo r8169 | grep parm => nothing relevant :(

09:35 | <sbalneav> How many of them do you have?
| |
09:35 | <alkisg> But realteks are really common in Greek labs, so I'd like to find a solution, not just replace the nic...
| |
09:36 | <sbalneav> realteks are the ford pinto of the networking world.
| |
09:37 | You'd be better off simply disabling flow control on the switch
| |
09:37 | <alkisg> My switch is unmanaged :(
| |
09:37 | I think I can fiddle with the r8169.c source to disable flow control, but how can I compile it to produce r8169.ko ?

09:38 | <Ahmuck-Jr> hi. i'm having trouble with hplip monitor, highlighting in firefox, copy/paste from firefox to word, etc
| |
09:38 | <sbalneav> What? It's complicated enough to have FLOW CONTROL but doesn't have a web or telnet or SNMP interface? I find that hard to beleive.
| |
09:38 | <alkisg> Yup, let me give you a link...
| |
09:39 | That's the one: http://www.e-shop.gr/show_per.phtml?id=PER.613829 (ZYXEL ES-1124 24-PORT UNMANAGED FAST ETHERNET SWITCH WITH 2 GIGABIT PORTS)
| |
09:39 | I've read the manual, send an email to zyxel, nothing - I'm stuck with flow control on :)
| |
09:39 | <sbalneav> What port is it doing flow control on? Just the gigabit port?
| |
09:40 | Or all ports?
| |
09:40 | <alkisg> I don't know, but I have to connect the server to the gigabit port to have >100mbps overall bandwidth
| |
09:40 | So I've just tried with the server on the gigabit ports
| |
09:40 | <Neaai> Ok, I did add the LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS=False in the lts.conf file but the client machine doesn't seem to see the local hard disk. Any ideas ?
| |
09:41 | <sbalneav> And the server is the machine with the 8169?
| |
09:41 | <alkisg> Yes.
| |
09:41 | <sbalneav> A server/.
| |
09:41 | With an 8169
| |
09:41 | <Gadi> Neaai: under the [default] section?
| |
09:41 | <nicros> anyone know why i would get "Device etherd!e0.1 not handled" when i run mkinitrd?
| |
09:42 | <alkisg> sbalneav: I also have some intel gigabit nics, tried with them and everything worked fine (they support ethtool), I'm just looking for a solution for r8169, if I can find it of course...
| |
09:42 | <sbalneav> No buffering in the card, no interrupt queing? Dude, spend 100 bucks and get like an Intel or something card for the server.
| |
09:42 | <Neaai> Gadi: yes. Sorry for my disconnection before. It was unintended.
| |
09:42 | <sbalneav> Server's not the place to have a cheap network card.
| |
09:42 | If you have an intel card on the server, then you could control the flow control.
| |
09:43 | <alkisg> sbalneav: I didn't see any performance difference when I compared r8169 to e1000 in another (gigabit only) lab...
| |
09:43 | ...and some motherboards have built-in realtek NICs, that's why I"m looking for a solutions
| |
09:43 | Not even CPU usage difference, in old clients...
| |
09:44 | <Neaai> Gadi: to be consistent, my conf file is at /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
| |
09:44 | <Gadi> Neaai: thats correct - debian uses NFS
| |
09:44 | so, that's where it should be
| |
09:45 | are the hard drives ntfs?
| |
09:45 | <sbalneav> Well, my recommendation would be to either fix the switch, or fix the cards. Playing around with a kernel driver means you're going to have to constantply maintain a patch. Your time's worth something, too.
| |
09:45 | <Gadi> Neaai: I would create a password for root in the chroot and login at the terminal to debug further
| |
09:45 | <Neaai> Gadi: Well no. The test machine is another debian with just the barebone system installed but which has the first boot device to be the network card.
| |
09:46 | <sbalneav> And I have, years ago, measured E100 vs 8139 cards, and the E100's had significantly fewer interrupts/second.
| |
09:46 | <alkisg> sbalneav: yeah, I guess you're right, I should have a limit in trying to find the cheapest solutions... :P Thanks!
| |
09:47 | <sbalneav> Well, there comes a point where cheaping out does you no good. Having decent network hardware in a thin client environment just makes sense.
| |
09:47 | Simplest solution for you would be to just replace the switch with either a managed one that you can crontol, or an unmanaged one with no flow control.
| |
09:49 | <alkisg> Or buy an Intel NIC for 25€... :)
| |
09:49 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
09:49 | <sbalneav> That too.
| |
09:51 | <alkisg> I saw a _great_ improvement with flow-control off, from 90mbps bandwidth before (measured on the server) => to 900mbps after!
| |
09:51 | <Neaai> Gadi: that password in the chroot, I guess I'll have to restart the client to have it working properly.
| |
09:51 | <nicros> where does mkinitrd get the "Resume device" from?
| |
09:52 | <cyberorg> nicros, you were looking for suse people?
| |
09:52 | <nicros> looking for anyone familiar with aoe :)
| |
09:53 | nobody on #suse knows anything about aoe
| |
09:53 | <sbalneav> At some point it's a case of diminishing returns. I don't know wether you're a consultant or an employee, but hardware's cheap, and the amount of time you're going to spend: devising a patch, testing the patch, rolling a new kernel, then MAINTAINING that patch through every kernel upgrade that comes from your linux vendor (and, ideally, RE-TESTING every time too), you're gonna be able to justify it in time terms alone.
| |
09:53 | <cyberorg> saw this already? http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/AoE
| |
09:53 | <nicros> yea
| |
09:53 | <cyberorg> ok, got everything figured out? :)
| |
09:54 | <alkisg> sbalneav: I'm a teacher, but being one of the first here to try LTSP, I'm also being paid to write an installation manual. I just thought of adding a module option, and maybe hoping it could go upstream, but as you say, it's probably not worth it.

10:38 | <din_os> so... changing the volume from one client, changes the volume from all clients, and server... correct? (8.04 i386)
| |
10:44 | <Neaai> din_os: what's a volume ?
| |
10:45 | <din_os> sorry, sound volume... the volume slider
| |
10:46 | if I reduce it from any client, it gets reduced everywhere... is that normal?
| |
10:47 | <Neaai> din_os: I don't know. I have disabled the sound in the server. Will not need it at all.
| |
10:49 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
10:49 | <Neaai> din_os: actually, when you play the sound, is it heared on the client or the server ?
| |
10:51 | alkisg has joined #ltsp | |
10:54 | <din_os> client
| |
10:57 | <Neaai> din_os: And which volume slider. The system mixer slider? Or say, vlc player's slider. You could try what happens.
| |
10:58 | <din_os> system mixer, the -e.g.- totem one works fine...
| |
10:58 | which seems to be natural, cause it's only an instance
| |
10:59 | anyway, maybe someone else knows if it's normal behaviour, I can wait :)
| |
11:01 | <Neaai> din_os: so seems that the system mixer controls the systemwide audio device before it gets redirected to a specific client. Anyone with rights to the system mixer would be able to change that and affect anyone else. I wonder, does that same thing happen when 2 people for eg. are logedin at the same time on the physical machine? Would one affect the other?
| |
11:02 | I haven't tried this, never thought of it.
| |
11:02 | nicoAMG has joined #ltsp | |
11:04 | <din_os> yeah, it probably does, but maybe there's a workaround? maybe not... it's not a major issue anyway

11:08 | <din_os> it's just funny... some students play around with the classroom's sound from a single terminal. I guess I could disable the slider...
| |
11:09 | <porter1> Hey LTSP people :)
| |
11:09 | <ogra> din_os, hmm, the volume control usually works per user
| |
11:10 | <din_os> is it? hmm indeed
| |
11:10 | <ogra> you can hack around that, but the logged in user automaticallly only controls the client he is logged in to
| |
11:10 | the user session gets initiated with the PULSE_SERVER=<ip of client> variable
| |
11:10 | topslakr has joined #ltsp | |
11:11 | <ogra> that the volume control should only control what PULSE_SERVER= points to ... and since you are using different users each user has his own envorinment
| |
11:11 | usually i cant see another users env from one user
| |
11:12 | (assuming you use different users indeed (if not that would break a lot of other stuff as well))
| |
11:12 | <din_os> I do use different users, how can I troubleshoot?
| |
11:14 | <ogra> check the PULSE_SERVER variables of the users
| |
11:14 | <din_os> the PULSE_SERVER var would be the same or different for each?
| |
11:14 | <ogra> to make sure they really point to the clients
| |
11:14 | different
| |
11:15 | it should point to the client you are logged in at
| |
11:15 | <Neaai> is there any seting named LOCAL_STORAGE in the lts.conf file? I can't seem to see the client's disk after the login, yet.
| |
11:16 | <din_os> so a simple echo $PULSE_SERVER on the clients? would show me the way?
| |
11:17 | <ogra> in the running session
| |
11:18 | you need to be logged in to the desktop, run it in a gnome terminal
| |
11:18 | <din_os> not in ldm... in the session. ok
| |
11:18 | <ogra> env|grep PULSE
| |
11:21 | <din_os> ogra: ok, but hold on... I DO have separate sound on the clients. so that means that pulse IS communicating with each client separately. But I'll try it anyway on my lab tomorrow.

11:26 | <Neaai> SOLVED: I'm able to see the client's local disk. After the lts.conf changes as mentioned, within Gnome I had to give the intended users the right to use FUSE filesystems. It translates classically to that user being part of group "fuse" (gid=118 in Debian).

11:28 | It was mentioned here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices

15:23 | <mushroomblue> likewise is an application that allows unix users to connect to a windows Active Directory network.
| |
15:26 | question number 2: usb printers aren't being forwarded to the server. /dev/usb/lp0 is working on the client, but isn't being forwarded correctly.
| |
15:26 | is there more to it than the proper config in lts.conf
| |
15:26 | ?
| |
15:27 | PRINTER_0_DEVICE is set to /dev/usblp0, which is a symlink to /dev/usb/lp0
| |
15:27 | <vagrantc> mushroomblue: LDM just uses ssh to log into the server, so if your authentication system works with ssh, it should work with LDM.
| |
15:28 | though you'll want to make sure that each user's default group is unique to that user.

| |
15:47 | <Gadi1> saw it - is the problem that the value has spaces?
| |
15:48 | <stgraber> yes
| |
15:48 | it basically does: export variable=value1 value2 value3
| |
15:48 | and that fails unless it'd be: export variable="value1 value2 value3"
| |
15:49 | din_os has left #ltsp | |
15:49 | <Gadi1> stgraber: export "variable=value1 value2 value3"

| |
15:50 | perhaps just quote the $()
| |
15:50 | <stgraber> right but how would you do that on the line I changed ?

15:50 | it's multiple lines not just one that gets exported
| |
15:50 | <Gadi1> export "$()"

23:15 | client took 10 minutes to boot, i could login through LDM, but its running slow
| |
23:18 | <dipeshmehta> hello all,
| |
23:19 | I have setup LTS on my Ubuntu 8.04 server, but at PXE-client, I go not get LDM login screen, as told in howto
| |
23:20 | can anybody here please help me?
| |
23:22 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, try another switch and new cables
| |

23:24 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, hmm... i need to talk to accounts dept :)
| |
23:24 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, not for testing, just borrow from someone
| |
23:25 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, there's only one switch, our office is small, 25 people
| |
23:25 | <cyberorg> what kind of switch have you got?
| |
23:26 | if it is a cheap hug or expensive managed switch you might run into these kind of issues
| |
23:26 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, what kind of means what?
| |
23:27 | <cyberorg> *cheap hub
| |
23:27 | as you say everything works fine with direct connection between client and server, so i blame switch/hub or the cables
| |
23:27 | there is nothing wrong with your server
| |
23:28 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, ok
| |
23:29 | cyberorg, i still wonder how does booting time reduced to 10 minutes
| |
23:29 | cyberorg, is it because pxeimage ? and not using nbi?
| |
23:31 | <cyberorg> greenmang0, i suspect huge amount of pack drops when the traffic goes via your switch, just find another to test, also change the cables when doing that
| |
23:31 | <greenmang0> cyberorg, sure

23:55 | <vagrantc> Ryan52: yes, ltsp-server in unstable doesn't have ldminfod, which is in ldm-server, which is stuck in NEW ... i picked experimental so i could continue to upload to unstable and not have to do weird things with the bzr packaging branches.
| |
23:56 | Ryan52: as soon as it's accepted in experimental, i'll be able to upload a version with ldm-server, which i'll likely do.
| |
23:56 | <Ryan52> ah, ok.
| |
23:56 | <vagrantc> Ryan52: and ldm-server definitely doesn't Replace ltsp-server, as it doesn't include ltsp-build-client or any number of other parts
| |
23:58 | <Ryan52> but do upgrades actually work?
| |
23:58 | * Ryan52 thought that Replaces applies if you are only partially replacing another package also | |
23:59 | <vagrantc> the conflicts should prevent the upgrade from breaking
| |
23:59 | it would seem really weird to declare a replaces when it only replaces a single file ...
| |
23:59 | <Ryan52> ah, ok.
