morning all
02:36
is there any documentation on LDM?
02:37
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LDM not really cutting it
02:39
ah, okay, got part of what I wanted here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/AutoLoginFeatures

Is there a page somewhere about themeing LDM?

<cyberorg>
benGREEN, just replace bg.png for background and logo.png in default theme, for anything else look at gtkrc in the theme
02:44
<benGREEN>
cyberorg, cheers
02:44
I'll have to look at gtkrc, I would like to maintain my own theme

hi
02:55
why could it be that the ltsp 8.04 shows 90-100% cpu usage in gnomes system info, while under processes there is no such high usage shown?

<zamba>
what's the "best" and most suited installation for ltsp? ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server?
05:31
<ogra>
server doesnt include a desktop env
05:32
which you need for ltsp
05:32
!ubuntu
05:32
<ltspbot`>
ogra: "ubuntu" is a Debian based GNU/Linux distrubution that includes a Ubuntu specific version of LTSP. It can be found at http://www.ubuntulinux.org. to install ltsp on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall

how to install ltsp-5 on gentoo
05:33
&
05:33
?
05:33
<zamba>
ogra: ok, so it's basically better to just install the desktop edition?
05:34
ogra: i'm installing jaunty, though..
05:36
<xwrs>
who knows how to configure ltsp-5 on gentoo?
05:38atomic007za has joined #ltsp

<xwrs>
where i can get ltsp-5 documentation?
05:41
<benGREEN>

05:41
and the rest of the wiki too
05:43cyberorg has quit IRC
05:49
<xwrs>
thanks,but i need manuals for ltsp-5 port on gentoo.
05:52
<benGREEN>
config should be similar for all distros
05:52
the generic defaults are specified in the documentation, with some distro specific notes
05:54
<xwrs>
maybe,but i have a problem with a ltsp-build-client. last extra-package doesn't want to build
05:55
*want to be built
05:55
sorry for my english
05:56
<benGREEN>
grammar was good in both of those :)
05:57
<xwrs>
:)
05:58
can i resume building of client after correcting error?
06:00
<benGREEN>
I've not found out how to do that myself, would also be interested to know
06:02
<xwrs>
nice :(

zamba, as i said, follow the doc and use the alternate CD
06:25
zamba, server wont work
06:26
and the desktop CD has no LTSP packages, you need the alternate CD
06:28
<zamba>
ogra: well, i can just install ubuntu first and then install the ltsp packages afterwards, right?
06:28
<ogra>
indeed
06:28
you get the better and easier setup with the alternate CD though
06:29
<zamba>
better how?
06:29
<ogra>
it uses --copy-sourceslist by default, makes sure your dhcpd is configured properly etc
06:29
<zamba>
oh, ok.. but my server isn't going to be running a dhcp
06:29
so that's fine
06:29
<ogra>
right

hi i used k12 linux
08:24
i am getting login screen
08:25
but not able to Login :(
08:26
mikkel: will u help me? :(
08:27
<_UsUrPeR_>
SkyRocknRoll: Are you getting an error when you try to log on? what does /var/log/auth.log show when you try to log on from a client?
08:27
try a tail -f on /var/log/auth.log
08:27
<SkyRocknRoll>
_UsUrPeR_: no the login just restarts :(
08:28
<_UsUrPeR_>
SkyRocknRoll: and there's no shown login attempts on the server?
08:29
<SkyRocknRoll>
_UsUrPeR_: i added the user and tried to login in the thin client after that it says verifying password and just login screen restarts
08:29
<_UsUrPeR_>
I would say your sshkeys need to be updated
08:29
<SkyRocknRoll>
_UsUrPeR_: yes no login attempts
08:29
<_UsUrPeR_>
try this on the server: ltsp-update-sshkeys
08:29
<SkyRocknRoll>
_UsUrPeR_: is there any special protocol used for login in ltsp?
08:31
_UsUrPeR_: ok i will try it :)
08:31artista_frustrad has quit IRC
08:31
<_UsUrPeR_>
SkyRocknRoll: the protocol is ssh for logins
08:31
it sounds like the keys are not updated, so your server is not accepting the connection attempt from your client
08:32
which would cause the auth.log to not be updated
08:32
<SkyRocknRoll>
_UsUrPeR_: thanks i will do that :)
08:32
<_UsUrPeR_>
the denial message may show up in messages in /var/log (or syslog... I can't remember which log file fedora uses
08:33
)
08:34
<SkyRocknRoll>
_UsUrPeR_: i think it is in /var/log/messages

Hi anyone know How I change the DHCP range of ip address's my LTSP server hands out?
11:50
My ltsp server ip add on network is 192.168.0.254
11:50
i wanted to change it to something like 10.0.1.254
11:51
<cnc>
ok guys you know how the pxe clients negoiate ethernet and get an ip address during the tftp section, then they renegioate and get a new one
11:51
someone in here told me how to set it to where it just uses the first one it pulls from dhcp
11:51
garymc: sec let me look at my config file
11:52
<alkisg>
cnc: IPAPPEND 3 in pxelinux.cfg/default
11:52
<cnc>
alkisg: you are the man
11:52
<alkisg>
:)
11:52
(I just happen to use that in almost all my setups :))
11:54
<cnc>
alkisg: and I put that after the "quiet splash" right?
11:54
<alkisg>
cnc: no, in a new line at the end
11:57
<cnc>
alkisg: thank you sir
11:57
<alkisg>
Heh :) You're welcome
12:00

so whats new in the ltsp world

what in the world is going on
12:02Ahmuck has joined #ltsp
12:02
<cnc>
out of no where 1/2 my pxe clients boot up, but then get a blank screen
12:04
<alkisg>
cnc: you need to create a symlink to make the clients get lts.conf
12:04
sudo ln -s ltsp/i386/lts.conf /var/lib/tftpboot/lts.conf
12:05
That's due to the IPAPPEND 3 change, the init scripts can't locate lts.conf with that.
12:05
(sorry I forgot to tell you that)
12:06
<cnc>
ln: creating symbolic link `/var/lib/tftpboot/lts.conf': File exists
12:06
<alkisg>
??? you actually have a file there?
12:06
<cnc>
alkisg: yes
12:07
<alkisg>
Urm... why? :)
12:07
<cnc>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-06-29 14:28 lts.conf -> ltsp/i386/lts.conf
12:07
alkisg: I told you i had used that setup before
12:07
<alkisg>
Ah. So then locating lts.conf isn't the problem here.
12:08
<cnc>
alkisg: the only thing that changed, was the client wanted me to update the chroot
12:08
so i deleted the chroot
12:08
rebuilt from scratch
12:08
followed the updating chroot directions
12:09
but my ubuntu server is also acting up
12:09
i can't ssh to it from my laptop but can from another server
12:10
do you update your chroot or just let it run asis?
12:11
<alkisg>
I update my chroot, but I don't rebuild it unless a new distro version comes out
12:11
Anyway that's a bigger problem there, /me has to go back to developing a pygtk-based script for importing/exporting users from/to .csv files... Bbl.
12:11

anyone experience a delay when clicking dropdowns in firefox?

korcan: use stgraber's ppa, it has fixed packages there
13:08

I am picking up where a coworker left off...

(I hope you actually use ubuntu there :D)
13:11
<korcan>
I do :) Server is 64bit, will that matter?

I don't think so
13:11
Version?
13:13
<korcan>
9.04
13:13
Jaunty
13:13
which package do I want?
13:13
ltsp one? is it that obvious?
13:13
:)
13:14
<alkisg>
korcan: you can add the whole ppa to your sources, it's supposed to be stable enough
13:15
You need the xlibs* package for the specific problem, but the ppa has newer ltsp versions that solves other problems as well
13:15
<korcan>
will this fix the firefox issue?
13:15
ahh
13:15
<alkisg>
The xlib* package will fix the firefox issue. (which is also a java issue and an sdl issue etc)
13:15
<korcan>
will this fix slow typing too?
13:16* alkisg really has to finish this app :( bbl... :(

14:32

hmm, ok maybe the display settings aren't the issue
14:33
<cnc>
Gadi: rdesktop?
14:33
<Gadi>
well, try this
14:33
from the shell of the thin client, type:
14:33
nc -v -n -z -w 1 <windows server IP> 3389
14:34
<cnc>
connection timed out
14:34
<Gadi>
yup - network issue
14:34
3389 is the RDP port
14:35Lns has joined #ltsp
14:35
<Gadi>
something (maybe the switch?) is limiting the number of connections over that port
14:35
or, maybe the terminal server is not responding to them

Gadi: not sure, i'll check it out ty and i'm writing that command down!

14:47
<muh2000>

14:47
i will try SID.
14:49

muh2000: yes.
14:49

I am running ubuntu, and trying to boot an ltsp client. I am pxe booting the client. On my ubuntu server I ran ltsp-build-client, and set my tftpd root to /opt/ltsp/i386/boot. The client loads the kernel and initrd image, I get the ubuntu splash screen and then it drops to (initramfs)
14:51pmatulis has quit IRC
14:52
<egaudet>
the client is giving me errors mounting, shows rootpath:
14:52
"Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init"
14:52johnny has joined #ltsp
14:54
<Gadi>
egaudet: from the initramfs, run /sbin/ifconfig
14:54
is eth0 up?
14:54
<egaudet>
yep
14:54
I think I may have to set rootpath no?
14:54
<alkisg>
"set my tftpd root to /opt/ltsp/i386/boot" ???
14:54
<egaudet>
The client prints out information giving me rootserver: <serverip> rootpath:
14:55
is that the chroot?
14:55
<alkisg>
The usual tftp root is /var/lib/tftpboot
14:55
<egaudet>
should it be /opt/ltsp/i386 instead? and set my bootfile to boot/pxelinux.0
14:56
<alkisg>
And the files are in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/
14:56
Why did you have to change anything related to tftp? Didn't it work fine out of the box?
14:56* vagrantc long-ago proposed using /boot directly.
14:56
<vagrantc>
er, /opt/ltsp/i386/boot
14:57
saves having to do ltsp-update-kernels ever
14:57
<egaudet>
I've been doing a lot of messing around to get my client pxe booting, the xinetd.d/tftp file doesn't get updated automatically by anything i've installed
14:57
<alkisg>
vagrantc: isn't there some standard that specifies a common tftp location?
14:57
<vagrantc>
egaudet: xinetd isn't really supported by ubuntu
14:57
<egaudet>
what should I use instead vagrantc?
14:58
But the tftpd works fine
14:58
I think it's a problem with the default pxelinux.cfg/default file, shouldn't that set my rootpath to /opt/ltsp/i386 somewhere?
14:58
<alkisg>
rootpath isn't used in ubuntu by default
14:58
It's only used if you use nfs
14:58
<johnny>
if its ubuntu, it uses /etc/inetd.conf
14:59
<egaudet>
Do need to use nfs? How is the client getting it's files from the server
14:59
<alkisg>
With nbd
15:00
<muh2000>
how important are fuse-utils, sshfs and ltsp-client? they fail when i try to install debian/sid
15:00
<alkisg>
Heh :)
15:01
<vagrantc>
alkisg: yeah, that's the downside.
15:01
egaudet: if you really know what you're doing, you could probably get xinetd to work, but it's not the default that most ubuntu ltsp developers are familiar with, so it may be harder to help you.
15:01
NBD
15:01
muh2000: they're needed to support local apps
15:01
muh2000: you could try with --early-packages ltsp-client-core ltspfsd ldm
15:01
sorry...
15:01
muh2000: you could try with --early-packages "ltsp-client-core ltspfsd ldm"
15:01
<egaudet>
ok, so basically I NEED the /etc/inetd.conf stuff
15:02
that ltsp-build-client set up
15:02
<muh2000>
vagrantc: ok, i will try.
15:03
<egaudet>
How do I use inetd in ubuntu? Where is it supposed to be located
15:03
<vagrantc>
egaudet: it should "just work"
15:03
<egaudet>
so if I just apt-get remove xinetd, i should be operational with inetd
15:04
<Gadi>
egaudet: whether you use inetd or xinetd, tftpd should have: -s /var/lib/tftpboot
15:04
<vagrantc>
it should have /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/* with all the files referenced ... your dhcp server should probably be configured in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
15:04
<Gadi>
and dhcpd.conf should have filenames like: /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
15:04
<egaudet>
I'm using tomato/linksys for dhcp server
15:05
<vagrantc>
egaudet: did you set up the filename parameter?
15:05
<johnny>
test 1, reply
15:05
hmm.. wtf
15:05
<egaudet>
yes, i get the pxelinux.0 fine
15:05
but I'm going to try to switch to inetd from xinetd right now
15:05johnny has left #ltsp
15:08

how do i start inetd?

15:09
<johnny>
let's try again..
15:09
test1
15:09
<Gadi>
egaudet: you should also add to the pxelinux.cfg/default file, as a kernel argument: nbdroot=<ltsp-server-ip>:2000
15:09
<johnny>
weird
15:09
/me test
15:09
ah.. yay
15:09
<alkisg>
johnny: need any feedback?
15:10
<johnny>
alkisg, not anymore.. i think it works
15:10
mostly.. it still doesn't save nickserv pass tho i think
15:10
<egaudet>
My client laptop cannot boot anything except pxe
15:10
I think the MBR got messed up
15:11
I know I am going through loops but my end goal is to pxe boot ltsp ubuntu client so that I can burn an XP cd, since the messed up laptop is the only computer with a working cdrw i have right now
15:11
<johnny>
ok.. here goes
15:11
<egaudet>
now I don't know how to get inetd to work
15:11
<alkisg>
egaudet: you can netboot the ubuntu live cd
15:11
It'll be easier to burn a cd with it
15:12
You can also boot knoppix or some other distro directly from the cd, and remove the cd to burn another one
15:12
<johnny>
one more try..
15:12johnny has left #ltsp
15:12
<egaudet>
alkisg I tried that, and got as far as mounting rootfs
15:12
<alkisg>
(or debian or whatever...)
15:13
egaudet: you tried to netboot the ubuntu live cd? Or with the cd directly?
15:13
<egaudet>
I have no cd's at the house so it has to be pxeboot

15:13
<johnny>
ah.. it might actually work now
15:13
awesome.. now i can finally autologin to ltsp again
15:13
<egaudet>
I think my problem there was with nfs, i got up to nfs mounting but it just stayed there during boot
15:13
<vagrantc>
muh2000: it looks like the newer xserver-xorg related packages recently migrated to squeeze ... so maybe the other stuff that uses hald hasn't yet.
15:14
<muh2000>
vagrantc: ok, the install of SID was successful. but it does not start a X.
15:14
<egaudet>
I'll try that again, but in the mean time, where on earth is inetd?
15:14
<muh2000>
vagrantc: ok
15:14
<Gadi>
egaudet: the package is: openbsd-inetd
15:14
<egaudet>
oooh
15:14

15:17* alkisg wonders how easy is to burn a cd with an ltsp client...
15:18
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i know some folks make bootable USB sticks, can't be that hard to make a CD
15:19
<alkisg>
vagrantc: no I didn't say that correctly, I meant to burn a cd while sitting and using an ltsp client
15:19
E.g. a windows XP CD, like egaudet wants to burn...
15:19
<Gadi>
apt-get install xcdroast
15:19
:)
15:19
<alkisg>
As a localapp?
15:20
<Gadi>
sounds good
15:20
<egaudet>
I got into this mess by trying to boot ubuntu live from usb on this dell laptop
15:20
<alkisg>
And burning works fine with localdevs etc?
15:20
<Gadi>
no - just localapps
15:20
<egaudet>
it failed to boot from usb, saying it couldn't find bootloader, and then after a reboot it hangs on "loading drkm 8.00..." which I read was most likely an MBR issue
15:21
<alkisg>
Wasn't there a problem with localdevs... what was it, audio CDs?
15:21
<Gadi>
right
15:21
thats localdevs
15:21
not localapps
15:21
<alkisg>
I thought burning also involved localdevs
15:21
Ah, ok. Thanks Gadi, vagrantc :)
15:21
<johnny>
ok.. time to try to break it
15:21
<Gadi>
burning requires access to the raw device, as do audio cds
15:22
<johnny>
ok.. guess not..
15:22
<Gadi>
only a local app can access the raw device
15:23
<alkisg>
So audio cd playback is also possible with localapps, right?
15:23
<Gadi>
where have all the good local computer parts stores gone?
15:23* Gadi thinks he needs to order a DVI-I cable online :P
15:24

or what is supposed to run on port 9571? the LTSP client tries to connect to that port but says "connection refused"

muh2000: it's ldminfod ...
16:35
muh2000: but that shouldn't stop it from running.
16:36
muh2000: it's the same server that works with squeeze, other than the broken keyboard, right?
16:36
<muh2000>
vagrantc: correct
16:37
<vagrantc>
muh2000: so that's not really the problem; it's a red herring.

<ftherese>
why does the local media not always mount... in fact now it does not mount again... from within localapps?
18:01
I had been using the patch that was recommended for jaunty
18:02
And today, or recently at least, they no longer recommend the creation of script files, there are just a couple of rc.d scripts that are downloaded for local-apps-addons
18:02
but now my localapps have access to the "real home" but not to local media... that is really hard to live with
18:02
I looked through the script that is supposed to do the mounting, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work
18:03Sarten-X2 has joined #ltsp

<ftherese>
there is definately a part in it that talks about mounting local media
18:03Sarten-X has quit IRC
18:04
<ftherese>
and as it uses essentially the same LDM variables, I can only assume the values were still valid for the socket and such
18:05
is there something the "old" patching method did to get the local media working that this new method has left out?

<alkisg>
In https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/iTalc the following line is used to copy the ssh keys to other machines on the network:
22:29
scp -r /etc/italc/keys USER@server2:/etc/italc/
22:29
Does that really work?
22:29
(1) It would need root access to the local machine, so "sudo scp" would be needed (the files have mode = 440)
22:29
(2) USER on server2 would need to have write access to /etc - so it would have to be root. But the root account is locked on Ubuntu.
22:29
(3) Scp doesn't preserver the ownership, does it? (the files are owned by root:admin)
22:29
So how could one copy files with mode = 440 and ownership = root:admin over the network, with the root account locked?
