| 00:00 | <vagrantc> rm-rf: you'd have to update dhcpd.conf, set up tftp to boot the different kernel, and configure NBD or NFS to export the new location.
| |
| 00:00 | rm-rf: why do you want to? might be an easier way to do what you're trying to do.
| |
| 00:00 | <Dalik> hmmm sorry I have one thing I just ntoiced. I checked the initfs.img with the provided command and I see the e1000e-ich9m.ko driver but the path is not the same as the other net drivers.
| |
| 00:01 | <rm-rf> ah, that's where the bitch would come in, reconfiguring nbd to export the new location
| |
| 00:01 | <Dalik> cpio: lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/ubuntu/net/e1000e-ich9m/e1000e-ich9m.ko not created: newer or same age version exists
| |
| 00:01 | cpio: lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko not created: newer or same age version exists
| |
| 00:01 | <vagrantc> rm-rf: not that hard, but kind of a pain.
| |
| 00:01 | <Dalik> not sure if that would make a differece
| |
| 00:01 | <rm-rf> i want to have some clients boot screen_07 directly to an rdp session, while have others that aren't specified boot to ldm
| |
| 00:02 | <vagrantc> Dalik: not sure what you're actually saying...
| |
| 00:02 | rm-rf: just use lts.conf for that.
| |
| 00:02 | <rm-rf> i can specify hosts in there?
| |
| 00:02 | <vagrantc> rm-rf: yes.
| |
| 00:02 | !lts.conf
| |
| 00:02 | <ltspbot> vagrantc: "lts.conf" is http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtsConf
| |
| 00:03 | <rm-rf> danke
| |
| 00:03 | <vagrantc> de nada
| |
| 00:03 | <rm-rf> that's most excellent, and removes about 99% of the work i thought i had ahead of me
| |
| 00:03 | <Dalik> cd $(mktemp -d) ; zcat /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/initrd.img | cpio -i produces a nice list of drivers and one of the new drivers I added with the process you gave me provides one new driver BUT the path is not the same as the other net drivers
| |
| 00:03 | <rm-rf> thanks again
| |
| 00:04 | <vagrantc> rm-rf: yeah, it's really just a configuration option :)

| |
| 02:47 | <alkisg> I'm not sure
| |
| 02:48 | You could try it :)
| |
| 03:17 | <nubae> heya alkisg
| |
| 03:17 | how's it going
| |
| 03:18 | <alkisg> Hey nubae! Still struggling with the crazy fat clients implementation
| |
| 03:18 | <nubae> I mentioned your project here, and at the use of the word nfs, everyone cringed...
| |
| 03:18 | <alkisg> If you're willing to install it manually, you could give it a go... but it's not debianized yet
| |
| 03:18 | <nubae> The problem they tell me is that all their implementations of nfs have cause serious problems
| |
| 03:18 | <alkisg> Well, what other method is there to share a live system? Ltspfs? :(
| |
| 03:19 | ...and how are they sharing their /home anyway, if not with nfs?
| |
| 03:19 | <nubae> what about working with xrdp? or u need it on a file system level?
| |
| 03:19 | they actually stopped doing that, because of all the problems
| |
| 03:20 | but they have a script that connects to nfs and does a local rsync
| |
| 03:20 | in case the connectino breaks
| |
| 03:21 | and it does this synching every 5 minuters
| |
| 03:21 | what it does is try to work locally as much as possible to get strain off the nfs server
| |
| 03:22 | if u want I could pass u that script
| |
| 03:22 | might be of interest
| |
| 03:25 | <alkisg> xrdp? Nah, viewing video with it will suck
| |
| 03:26 | Hmmmm so if nfs is not good, maybe /home shouldn't be shared after all - the local hard disk could be used in each station
| |
| 03:26 | Of course the students would have to sit on the same pc every time
| |
| 03:29 | Hmmm if sshfs is better, I guess I could use that; be it'd be slow because of all the encryption :(
| |
| 03:34 | <nubae> take out encryption
| |
| 03:34 | direct X
| |
| 03:35 | but anyway, u wanna take a look at that script they use here?
| |
| 03:35 | it might give some ideas
| |
| 03:35 | the difference is they run stuff on local hard disks, and clone them via netboot
| |
| 03:35 | so its not quite the same
| |
| 03:36 | but this was used for the shared /home
| |
| 03:36 | <alkisg> Nah if the script I'm working on proves inefficient, I'll just switch to your fat client script
| |
| 03:37 | sshfs doesn't allow unencrypted connections
| |
| 03:37 | Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC | |
| 03:37 | <alkisg> Directx == not using ssh
| |
| 03:38 | laga has left #ltsp | |
| 03:39 | <alkisg> Cloning is an interesting solution, though. Do you copy all the stuff, or only the differences, with something like rsync?
| |
| 03:41 | <ogra> or zsync :) about three times faster but needs a webserver
| |
| 03:41 | <alkisg> " all their implementations of nfs have cause serious problems" ==> you mean performance, or data loss?
| |
| 03:41 | ogra, interesting! Btw, do you think ltspfs could be used to remotely boot a pc? :D
| |
| 03:41 | <ogra> i guess that would need tons of ram
| |
| 03:42 | <alkisg> Ah, it copies all the data to ram? Ouch...
| |
| 03:42 | <ogra> ltspfs unmounts in the back and keeps a reference to every file in the fs in memory
| |
| 03:42 | only the filetree
| |
| 03:43 | which is fine for a removabe device usually
| |
| 03:43 | <alkisg> Hmmm maybe that could work on a dedicated "boot" file server... is it fast?
| |
| 03:43 | <ogra> and i guess it would be slow since it likely keeps everything permanently mounted but would like to unmount after 2sec
| |
| 03:44 | <alkisg> OK patching it to prevent unmounting wouldn't be too difficult, I imagine...
| |
| 03:44 | <ogra> you might find intresting race conditions nobody found yet :)
| |
| 03:44 | <alkisg> Ah :-/
| |
| 03:46 | Hmmm I wonder if AoE could be used... not on live file system, but on a read-only partition or chroot.
| |
| 03:51 | vmlintu has joined #ltsp | |
| 04:17 | <cyberorg> alkisg, we experimented with AoE fatclient, http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Fatclient there is iscsi root example linked from there too
| |
| 04:18 | <alkisg> cyberorg: can opensuse/kiwi somehow serve partitions or chroots instead of images?
| |
| 04:18 | I mean, to save the "compressing/preparing image" phase after each change?
| |
| 04:19 | <cyberorg> alkisg, i think iscsi, aoe and nbd(?) can all serve partitions
| |
| 04:20 | <alkisg> Hmmm (to get this straight) so the squashfs/nbd combination used in ubuntu could be reduced to just nbd, if someone wanted that?
| |
| 04:21 | <nubae> yeah
| |
| 04:21 | <cyberorg> fat client i worked on was very thin, it used /usr from server, so all apps installed on server as available on the client without requiring to install in chroot
| |
| 04:21 | <alkisg> cyberorg: so it's possible with minimal fiddling with opensuse to have a dual boot system, boot with partition "a" and then share partition "b" to clients over aoe?
| |
| 04:21 | (or nbd or...O)
| |
| 04:22 | <nubae> 0?
| |
| 04:22 | <alkisg> (typo :))
| |
| 04:22 | (or nbd or ...)
| |
| 04:22 | <ogra> alkisg, you need an image/partition for eithetr nbd or iscsi
| |
| 04:22 | chroots wont work
| |
| 04:22 | <alkisg> Ah, so a partition would do, but a chroot wouldn't, right?
| |
| 04:22 | OK. That sounds doable
| |
| 04:22 | <ogra> neither of them exports on the filesystem level
| |
| 04:22 | right, partition or image will work with either
| |
| 04:23 | <alkisg> Hmmm so maybe ltsp could be tweaked to support nbd fat cliens if they are installed in a seperate partition... am I getting this right?
| |
| 04:23 | Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp | |
| 04:23 | <ogra> i would still export them readonly, but that would work, yes
| |
| 04:24 | <cyberorg> alkisg, ltsp has nothing to do with that, just initrd is needed that supports nbd/iscsi/aoeroot
| |
| 04:24 | <alkisg> cyberorg: no, ltsp in this case would be just the framework used to install the os into that partition
| |
| 04:24 | Hmmm this approach sounds good :)
| |
| 04:24 | <cyberorg> k :)
| |
| 04:25 | <alkisg> Thanks cyberorg. /me looks into that link above...

| |
| 05:11 | <cyberorg> fat clients ltsp server cluster, and normal ltsp clients using aoeroot
| |
| 05:13 | <alkisg> Ah. I need to try it for myself... most labs here have 8-12 clients, so I need to test 8-12 fat clients with a single ltsp server ...

| |
| 06:47 | <alkisg> kawan_: I'll upload it somewhere and send you the url
| |
| 06:47 | It can be installed in floppy/cd/hard disk, which method do you prefer?

| 06:47 | <kawan_> cd if possible
| |
| 06:48 | <alkisg> ok
| |
| 06:48 | Should I send you the url in a mail then?

| |
| 08:00 | dmarkey_ has quit IRC | |
| 08:05 | <alkisg1> ogra, so how would I share a partition with nbd? Share e.g. /dev/sda2 with nbd-server, then connect it to /dev/nbd0 on a client, and mount -o loop an ext3 filesystem with that?
| |
| 08:08 | shawnp0wers has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:08 | Lumiere has joined #ltsp | |
| 08:11 | <ogra> you launch sudo nbd-server 1234 /dev/sda2
| |
| 08:11 | that will serve /dev/sda2 on 1234
| |
| 08:12 | <alkisg1> Thanks! And how can I create /dev/nbd? devices on the client?
| |
| 08:13 | <ogra> nbd-client does that automatically if you connect
| |
| 08:13 | they are created by udev if you load the nbd module (which nbd-client triggers)
| |
| 08:13 | <alkisg1> Uhm I may have to reboot then
| |
| 08:14 | sudo nbd-client localhost 2001 /dev/nbd0 -persist ==> Error: Can not open NBD: No such file or directory
| |
| 08:14 | A last one, please? Can /dev/sda2 be mounted rw on the server, while it's served as ro on the clients?
| |
| 08:16 | (ah ok modprobe nbd got me the devices)
| |
| 08:18 | <_UsUrPeR_> still having issues with the latest release of karmic and LTSP.
| |
| 08:18 | <ogra> might be a bug, nbd-client should load nbd
| |
| 08:18 | <_UsUrPeR_> anyone else try that out yet?
| |
| 08:19 | <ogra> make sure you filed bugs
| |
| 08:19 | <alkisg1> ogra: Thanks, everything's fine now :) I had to run nbd-server as root though, for it to be able to access sda2.
| |
| 08:20 | <ogra> indeed
| |
| 08:20 | <alkisg1> ...on to boot a client now!

| 09:20 | <sbalneav> _UsUrPeR_: Did you do any more testing with Sabayon?
| |
| 09:20 | <_UsUrPeR_> sbalneav: Yes I did.
| |
| 09:21 | I tested out removing menu options from user profiles, as well as adding desktop icons
| |
| 09:21 | both worked great
| |
| 09:22 | one question: what stops an individual from creating a desktop icon? Say you want to stop an individual from accessing terminal. If someone wants to create a desktop icon for xterm, it will work still.
| |
| 09:23 | is there a security option to disallow icon/executer creation?
| |
| 09:24 | <sbalneav> I'm not sure.
| |
| 09:24 | <alkisg1> _UsUrPeR_: what would prevent them from going to /usr/bin/ with nautilus and just double clicking on xterm?
| |
| 09:25 | <_UsUrPeR_> alkisg1: ahh, good question. Never thought about it. I guess I didn't see anything that would stop "places" from loading
| |
| 09:25 | alkisg1 is now known as alkisg | |
| 09:26 | <sbalneav> I think that's a shortcoming of Nautils.
| |
| 09:27 | <_UsUrPeR_> I guess nautilus can be changed via permissions
| |
| 09:31 | Blinny has left #ltsp | |
| 09:33 | garymc has quit IRC | |
| 09:34 | <sbalneav> The BEST way to handle all of this would be with ACL's
| |
| 09:34 | Add acl's to the terminal programs that prevent students from running it.
| |
| 09:36 | <alkisg> ogra, first bug: passing nbdroot=server,port root=/dev/nbd0 as kernel parameters *would* let me boot but it doesn't because the module eth0 isn't yet loaded. If I put break=mount, wait 2 secs and press ctrl+D, it works fine. Where do I report that? In initramfs-tools, or in nbd-client?

| 10:00 | https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/InstallGuide
| |
| 10:00 | remember to follow along with the configuration steps along the bottom of that page
| |
| 10:01 | <SkyRocknRoll> _UsUrPeR_: whats the advantage in using K12linux? only we can skip configuration or any other reason specially?
| |
| 10:01 | <_UsUrPeR_> not much really. the packages are pre-installed, but still need to be configured
| |
| 10:02 | if you were looking for the simplest possible installation, ubuntu alternative installation CDs are where it's at.
| |
| 10:02 | <ogra> alkisg, i'd say nbd-client
| |
| 10:02 | <_UsUrPeR_> though the K12 installation process is quite simple from a new installation
| |
| 10:02 | <alkisg> ogra, danke!
| |
| 10:02 | <ogra> :)
| |
| 10:02 | <_UsUrPeR_> and there's a quick tutorial to follow on the desktop
| |
| 10:03 | <ogra> it's script should wait until something else than lo is up
| |
| 10:04 | <SkyRocknRoll> _UsUrPeR_:Thanks for your help :) i will ask u if i have any doubts :D
| |
| 10:04 | <_UsUrPeR_> no problem

| 10:15 | <sbalneav> _UsUrPeR_: yeah, I think ACL's on gnome-terminal, etc's the way to go on that
| |
| 10:15 | arunpraveen has quit IRC | |
| 10:15 | <_UsUrPeR_> sbalneav: I agree. too much of a PITA to do permissions :P
| |
| 10:18 | <alkisg> sbalneav, _UsUrPeR_: how would that block a student from downloading "my_super_xterm" from the internet, chmod +x'ing it, and running it?
| |
| 10:18 | wima has quit IRC | |
| 10:19 | <_UsUrPeR_> write protect directories. limit executable functions.
| |
| 10:19 | is it possible to chmod without terminal?
| |
| 10:19 | <alkisg> Right click with nautilus, I think...
| |
| 10:20 | <_UsUrPeR_> >_< check box!
| |
| 10:20 | yeah, I see it
| |
| 10:20 | never tried that one
| |
| 10:21 | <alkisg> Heh you'd be surprised on how many ways the studens will be able to find to beat acls... :)
| |
| 10:21 | <_UsUrPeR_> and expulsion is not normally an option
| |
| 10:21 | thank god this isn't something I have to deal with on a daily basis.
| |
| 10:22 | <vmlintu> Here are some patches to disable execution from Nautilus: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540923
| |
| 10:23 | <alkisg> vmlintu: ok then the students would press alt+f2 and bypass nautilus :D :D
| |
| 10:23 | OK just joking the patches would be most welcome
| |
| 10:24 | <vmlintu> there's also a way to disable alt+f2 from working

| 10:27 | <alkisg> ...and also all user startup files should be locked.... e.g. ~/.config/autostart/* ...
| |
| 10:28 | or ~/.profile or .* files that are *sourced* from other programs...
| |
| 10:29 | Also the menu editor... :(
| |
| 10:31 | ...also the user should not be able to *copy* executable files and then change their contents... :-/ I'm sure there are other ways, complete locking at this level is kinda difficult

| |
| 10:53 | One of the "problems" of Unix and/or Linux is, it's *meant* to be an open system.
| |
| 10:55 | The nautilus patch seems to be a good one.
| |
| 10:55 | I wonder if it's made it upstream into "base gnome" yet
| |

| 10:57 | <sbalneav> This isn't a problem for only linux.
| |
| 10:57 | My son's school has windows boxes "supposedly" locked down, but the kids "get around" it all the time, sometimes breaking the machine.

| 10:58 | <sbalneav> Personally, I think making the fruit forbidden tends only to enhance the flavour, and a more open approach might yield more learning :)
| |
| 10:59 | <alkisg> I don't lock anything in my school. There isn't even time for the kids to go around that much
| |
| 10:59 | And even if they did, it doesn't add much maintainance overhead...
| |
| 10:59 | <sbalneav> alkisg++
| |
| 11:00 | <alkisg> The only thing I lock is with squid, some parental control...
| |
| 11:00 | <sbalneav> Besides, if you've got a kid who's interested enough to poke around, isn't that something to be encouraged? IMHO, yes.
| |
| 11:00 | Right, I can see not wanting to have porn pop up.
