| 00:28 | <try2free> Lns: no
| |
| 00:30 | <Lns> try2free, are the ones that aren't getting sound being detected properly?
| |
| 00:36 | <try2free> Lns: how to check?
| |
| 00:37 | Lns: the only i know speaker status on right top is disable
| |
| 00:37 | <Lns> !dist
| |
| 00:37 | <ltspbot> Lns: "release" is please mention the linux distro and release you're using :)
| |
| 00:37 | <Lns> try2free, ^^^ :)
| |
| 00:38 | <try2free> i try with SMODULE_01 = snd-intel8x0 (in lts.conf) but no luck
| |
| 00:38 | Lns: ubuntu 8.04
| |
| 00:39 | <Lns> try2free, what are the sound chipsets in the clients that don't get it?
| |
| 00:41 | <try2free> Lns: intel 82801EB AC'97 audio
| |
| 00:42 | <Lns> hm
| |
| 00:42 | <try2free> Lns: i try from this instruction http://www.bootpolish.net/pageloader.pl?page=home_ltsp_ltsp5sound_ltsp5clientsound
| |
| 00:44 | <Lns> have you updated your chroot since ltsp install?
| |
| 00:44 | <try2free> yes
| |
| 00:44 | why?
| |
| 00:45 | but before update i never test
| |
| 00:46 | <Lns> sound module might have needed an upgrade since the beginning of 8.04.. see http://tehpost.blogspot.com/2008/07/ubuntu-no-sound-using-intel-corporation.html
| |
| 00:46 | <try2free> ok, i'll try again latter thanks. i must go now. bye...

| 02:58 | <newbie_need_hlp> hi... does anyone know how to find out if my clients support pxe/LAN boot?
| |
| 03:04 | intelliant has joined #ltsp | |
| 03:04 | <newbie_need_hlp> anyone?
| |
| 03:10 | anyone?
| |

| 03:33 | Patina has quit IRC | |
| 03:34 | <newbie_need_hlp> anyone here?
| |
| 03:53 | <alkisg> newbie_need_hlp: try to enable it from the bios and see if they try to get an ip address
| |
| 03:56 | Faithful has quit IRC | |
| 03:57 | Faithful has joined #ltsp | |
| 03:59 | <newbie_need_hlp> disk boot failure, insert system and press enter
| |
| 03:59 | i am not sure how to find out if the hard ware supports it, although in the BIOS i am able to slecect LAN boot
| |
| 03:59 | <alkisg> newbie_need_hlp: what kind of PCs/NICs do you have?
| |
| 04:00 | <newbie_need_hlp> it's an old motherboard, topstar 815
| |
| 04:00 | <alkisg> Is the NIC onboard?
| |
| 04:00 | <newbie_need_hlp> and some generic NIC with a rlt8139D chip
| |
| 04:01 | <alkisg> If the nic isn't onboard, then usually it doesn't have a boot rom on it (you can usually see an empty place where one can insert the ROM, if he buys one)
| |
| 04:01 | So in this case you'll need to boot from a floppy/cd/hd/usb, see the gpxe project: http://etherboot.org
| |
| 04:02 | <newbie_need_hlp> the NIC is an adapter card
| |
| 04:02 | i think the motherboard is made in 2001/2
| |
| 04:03 | oh.. so
| |
| 04:03 | <alkisg> I'd guess that it doesn't support booting from LAN then, unless you go buy a NIC with a ROM on it. E.g. some intel's that contain a boot rom here have 25 €...
| |
| 04:03 | <newbie_need_hlp> 25 euro for a boot rom?
| |
| 04:04 | <alkisg> No, for the whole nic. Boot roms are cheaper, but require a little research on what to buy
| |
| 04:04 | <newbie_need_hlp> oh..
| |
| 04:05 | <alkisg> Go for gpxe :)
| |
| 04:05 | <newbie_need_hlp> hmm... what would be the most cost effective...
| |
| 04:05 | what is pgxe?
| |
| 04:05 | <alkisg> The link I gave you above
| |
| 04:05 | <newbie_need_hlp> oh
| |
| 04:05 | <alkisg> It's a software that makes your PC boot from network when it doesn't have a boot rom
| |
| 04:05 | <newbie_need_hlp> i see...
| |
| 04:05 | intelliant has quit IRC | |
| 04:05 | <alkisg> But you'll need somewhere to store the software; a floppy, cd, hd, usb stick...
| |
| 04:06 | <newbie_need_hlp> hmm
| |
| 04:06 | well, the thing is, spent about 200 euros for 10 pieces of computers for this hobby
| |
| 04:07 | i am in china...
| |
| 04:08 | <alkisg> ...and? I also use gpxe in my PCs in my school.
| |
| 04:08 | It's open source, it doesn't require any money
| |
| 04:08 | <newbie_need_hlp> so, either I go buy a whole bunch of floppy and floppy drives, a whole bunch of USBs or a whole bunch of NIC ROMS
| |
| 04:08 | <alkisg> AH
| |
| 04:08 | So you don't have any boot media? CDs or something?
| |
| 04:09 | <newbie_need_hlp> nothing to write on
| |
| 04:09 | i mean, if i do it w/ the CD, i would have to go out and buy a CD-ROM
| |
| 04:09 | and a bunch of blank CDs
| |
| 04:09 | <alkisg> Then yes, I guess you have to buy something. I don't know if the compact flash / ide converter is cheap enough, that would also be a solution.
| |
| 04:10 | ...or you could search for boot roms. You may ask in #etherboot on this, they're more knowledgable about which chipsets support which roms.
| |
| 04:11 | <newbie_need_hlp> well... there's another solution, i can start going to those expos where they give out free USB drives
| |
| 04:12 | <alkisg> I don't think your motherboards support booting from usb sticks....
| |
| 04:13 | ...they're too old for this.
| |
| 04:13 | Try them, though
| |
| 04:13 | <newbie_need_hlp> hmm
| |
| 04:13 | welll i booted up fedora with them
| |
| 04:14 | <alkisg> So they support booting from usb then.
| |
| 04:14 | <newbie_need_hlp> in theory... with my luck... something else might go wrong
| |
| 04:15 | <alkisg> Well, if you have one usb stick now handy, you could try putting gpxe on it.
| |
| 04:15 | <newbie_need_hlp> how do i access my usb drive?
| |
| 04:15 | heh, been a decade since i last used linux
| |
| 04:17 | should i make a new one? or get a prebuilt one
| |
| 04:18 | <alkisg> You should go here: http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-git/gpxe.git/contrib/rom-o-matic/
| |
| 04:18 | select the usb stick format, download it and write it to your stick.
| |
| 04:18 | <newbie_need_hlp> thx. let me try it
| |
| 04:20 | how do i find out what kind of img i need?
| |
| 04:21 | <alkisg> Select the gpxe:all-drivers image, it contains all of them
| |
| 04:24 | <newbie_need_hlp> ah,
| |
| 04:24 | thx
| |
| 04:25 | do i just move the imaeg to my stick?
| |
| 04:25 | or is there some programs i need to run
| |
| 04:27 | <alkisg> There are programs, google for them, I haven't used usb stick images
| |
| 04:28 | <newbie_need_hlp> oh ok
| |
| 04:29 | thx for ur help
| |
| 04:29 | <alkisg> yw
