I'm still having this problem with ltsp-localapps not being able to mount /media - though the mounting of the "real home" does work... this has changed since the new patching method for jaunty
00:57
with the old patching method, it worked
01:01
wait... I got it
01:01
the variable name changed from LOCAL_MEDIA to MOUNT_LOCAL_MEDIA
01:01
I am going to see if that works
01:03* vagrantc wasn't away of any LOCAL_MEDIA variables
01:04
<ftherese>
well, at any rate, I had been using the same lts.conf file
01:04
and looking at the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps
01:04
which has clearly changed within the last couple of days
01:05
the variable names are different
01:05
or it was just a fluke and somehow worked anyway
01:09
<vagrantc>
ah, it's a modified version
01:09
not present upstream.
01:09
<ftherese>
yeah... sorry there is a patch
01:09
well, it is rather useful, it ought to be there
01:10
another thing that would be useful is being able to access the gvfs mounted shares with local apps
01:10
since those shares are not mounted in /media... and I don't really know where they ARE mounted, though I haven't made any extensive investigations
01:11yoshi___ has joined #ltsp
01:26
<johnny>
they mount in your ~/.gvfs ftherese

<ftherese>
johnny. thanks, now the only problem is that they are hidden from the user. For example, you want to open a file in open office from the network, it doesn't give you the option to see hidden files and browse that way... plus I would prefer my users not have to navigate through hidden files to find it. They are hidden for a reason ;)
01:39
<johnny>
but they should show up in the menu
01:39
in Places, or oin the Desktop
01:39
they are in .gvfs for cli usage
01:39
or hmm.. is that only for fuse..
01:40
i know if i use "connect to server" for sshfs they show up in .gvfs and in the menu
01:40
and webdav (if it wasn't currently broken)
01:44vagrantc has quit IRC
01:57
<ftherese>
well... in the ltsp-localapps version of openoffice writer, you don't have the gnome friendly menus... you have like the generic X menu system
01:59
yeah... I double checked with local-apps gimp
02:00
localapps gimp DOES use the gnome menu system, which makes it possible to view hidden files, but doesn not display the gvfs mounts in the shortcuts menu
02:00
<johnny>
that's a seperate problem i guess
02:01
<ftherese>
yeah
02:01
<johnny>
try back when more people are here

Anybody managed to get LTSP running with Fedora 11? - ltsp-dhcpd fails to start on my test system after reboot?

anybody out there?

Willtech: i don't use fedora myself, but generally, if something fails to start, it will produce an errormessage, maybe in syslog. maybe that will be helpfull, to some.

Hi there - we have a problem setting up the dhcp server.
04:07
Sep 15 11:05:57 ubuntu dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
04:07
<ogra>
cofigure it properly then :)
04:07
<elias_a>
Where is the configuration made in LTSP5 system?
04:08
<ogra>
/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
04:08
<elias_a>
ogra: Give me a hand or I will kiss you :)
04:08
<ogra>
did you follow the install instructions ?
04:08
!ubuntu
04:08
<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
04:08
<ogra>
it would have set it up for you :)
04:08
<elias_a>
Lets see that! I'll give you a hug instead )

ogra: The problem is that Jaunty alternate cd LTSP installation is broken and we tried to install it on the top of a Ubuntu manually.
04:10
<ogra>
broken ?
04:11
<elias_a>
alkisg: Good morning!
04:11
<ogra>
how
04:11
<alkisg>
Hi elias_a, hi all
04:11* ogra hasnt see a single bug about a broken alternate install on jaunty yet
04:11
<ogra>
*seen
04:11
whats the issue ?
04:12
<yoshi__>
hi everyone
04:13
little question: i installed firefox as local app with flash plugin did the NAT trick and changed my lts.conf everything works, perfectly after that is installed the ubunty-restricted stuff and java in the chroot. But now when i run firefox as local app is see the plugins installed in firefox but firefox won't pick it up and use them, if i go to a java site it complains it has a missing plugin if i want to see a movie embedded i
04:13
however works when using firefox in non local apps mode.
04:15
<elias_a>
ogra: I try to find it. There's a bug reported and fixed but apparently the cd image has not been fixed.
04:24
ogra: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/325678
04:24Selveste1_ has joined #ltsp
04:25Selveste1 has quit IRC
04:25
<elias_a>
This makes the alternate cd practically unusable.
04:25
<ogra>
that was fixed long before the final release
04:25
the fix is on the CD
04:25
* Disable --mount-cdrom in the installer (LP: #325678)
04:26
<elias_a>
Well - I have been able to reproduce it with a installation cd that was downloaded a few days ago.
04:27
<ogra>
you are aware that it is normal that the install sits at 50% for about 20min ?
04:27
<elias_a>
Yes. It ended up with an error report.
04:27
<ogra>
you should file a new bug then and attach the installer log
04:28
it is definately unrelated to 325678
04:28
what was the error it showed ?
04:28
<elias_a>
That it failde to build up the system.
04:29
Sorry typos ;-)
04:29
<ogra>
well, the installer log would be needed for actual debugging
04:30
are you sure you used the final release ?
04:30
<elias_a>
quite sure - i will check
04:30* ogra is curious why nobody else reported anything
04:31
<elias_a>
hold on :)
04:32
ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso
04:32
<ogra>
md5sum checked ?
04:33
<elias_a>
md5sum check progressing :)

04:40
<elias_a>
ogra: the md5sum was OK.
04:40
<ogra>
well, then file a bug and attach the contents of /var/log/installer/
04:41alexqwesa__ has joined #ltsp
04:41
<ogra>
is this i386 or amd64 ?
04:41
<elias_a>
What I am going to do now is that I am going to demostrate how it fails in front of the eyes of 10 people.
04:41
We doing a demo effect show in South Arfica :)
04:41
<ogra>
well, that doesnt help to fix the issue :)
04:42
<elias_a>
i386
04:42
<ogra>
no reason it should fail
04:42
<elias_a>
We still need to get the error code? Right?
04:42
<ogra>
we need the logs
04:42
/var/log/installer/ has all info
04:42
<elias_a>
Ok.
04:42
<ogra>
attach them to a new bug
04:43* ogra goes afk for a while
04:43
<elias_a>
does the alternate LTSP installation mode allow simultaneous installation of GNOME desktop?
04:43alexqwesa_ has quit IRC
04:43
<elias_a>
The oly connetction w have to internet is 3g.
04:44
sorry the typos - the ssh connection goes around half the world...
04:47
ogra: There's no /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf even though the ltsp was succesfully created.
04:47
The only instances are:
04:48
only instance is: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf

it should all be set up by default
06:29
you dont need to do anything

06:29
<ogra>
just make sure you follow the guide
06:31
<hipy>
omfg
06:31
how can you get this to work
06:31
ogra i did it via apt-get install
06:32
<ogra>
see the doc, it tells you how to do it
06:32
<hipy>
i did this
06:32
sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server
06:33sene has joined #ltsp
06:34
<ogra>
that is covered by "Installing on top of an already running desktop system"
06:34
make sure you have read it
06:34
<hipy>
yes i did that omg
06:34
it doesnt work
06:35
<ogra>
so your NIC has the right IP ? and you ran sudo ltsp-build-client
06:37
<elias_a>
Hey - we got the cd working.
06:37alexqwesa__ has joined #ltsp
06:37
<elias_a>
But still one problem: ubuntu dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
06:37
<ogra>
but your server has two NICs ?
06:37
<elias_a>
This is what I get when trying to restart the dhcp3-server
06:38
ogra: No, 1.
06:38jammcq has quit IRC
06:38
<elias_a>
nternet connection is with 3g modem
06:38
<ogra>
so you should have had a note during installation telling you exactly what to do
06:38
<din_os>
hello, I am on Lenny and i get "nfs mount: need a path" (default has root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs) but /dev/nfs does not exist on my system any clues?
06:38
<ogra>
after the ltsp client env was built
06:39
anyway, make sure your NIC uses the IP thats mentioned on the wiki (thats what the note from the installer tells you)
06:40
<elias_a>
ogra: I followed Asmos instructions in Finnish: http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/LTSP5_Perusasennus#head-7f3d1ca8e57e6d1d4d9f4e0a325839a03c81fcb1
06:41
It has worked before - on the other hand I have never done an installation without a fixed Internet connection.
06:43
<ogra>
you dont need any internet connection
06:43
but your NIC needs to have the right IP
06:43
(or you need to edit the dhcp configuration)
06:44
NIC and dhcpd.conf simply need to match
06:44
easiest is to just use the right IP
06:44
<din_os>
(i have also tried http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-edu@lists.debian.org/msg15299.html but the paths are wrong for me too, what is the valid update-kernels.conf location?)
06:46
I think NFS is missing... is that possible? do I need to install it separately? how do I check?
06:51
<elias_a>
ogra: I would be very happy if you could help me finding the problem as I cannot see it.
06:51
I will put things to pastebin
06:51
<ogra>
ifconfig -a
06:51

ogra: I found the problem. It seems like Network Manager ovverrides the settings in /etc/network/interfaces
07:12
<ogra>
not really
07:13
it can not touch interfaces that are properly set up in /etc/network/interfaces
07:13
what does your /etc/network/interfaces look like ?

<elias_a>

din_os_: KERNEL vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img boot=nfs nfsroot=/opt/ltsp/i386
07:15
<ogra>
as soon as "auto <interfacename>" is set
07:15
<alkisg>
din_os_: did you put the nfsroot there?
07:15
<din_os_>
nope
07:15
<alkisg>
(in pxelinux.cfg/default)
07:15
It's needed
07:15
<din_os_>
lets see
07:16
so I remove root=/dev/nfs completely?
07:16
<ogra>
alkisg, nfsroot ? that should come from dhcp
07:17
<alkisg>
ogra, dhcp sends rootpath
07:17
<elias_a>
Ok. I will start the network again and see what happens.
07:17
<ogra>
alkisg, right, which initramfs should pick up properly
07:17otavio_ has quit IRC
07:17otavio has joined #ltsp
07:18
<ogra>
alkisg, if you have to set anything like that in the pxe config i'd consider it a very serious bug (and i assume vagrant as well)
07:18
<alkisg>
ogra: let me see what vagrantc has put in the new pxelinux.cfg/default file...
07:20
din_os_: in the meanwhile, give it a try, without the root= and with the nfsroot=...
07:20
<din_os_>
I will try this asap but what does the plain root=/dev/nfs do and why remove it?
07:26
<alkisg>
ogra, the code says you're right - debian uses BOOTPROMPT_OPTS="quiet root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp boot=nfs". I wonder why I had to use nfsroot... I have to try that again to see.
07:28
<hipy>
so ogra you say that if i install ltsp via the ubutnu alternate cd that everything(including pxe server etcv ) is setup and working
07:29
<ogra>
hipy, if your server has two network cards you wont need to touch anything
07:29
it will be set up out of the box
07:30
<hipy>
two network cards?
07:30
<din_os_>
alkisg, nope, still asks for nfsmount... (but according to these posts: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-edu@lists.debian.org/msg15299.html it seems that editing manually default might not cut it... )
07:30
<hipy>
why 2
07:30
:S
07:30
why it needs 2 network cards ogra?
07:30
<ogra>
one for accessing the network, one for serving the thin clients
07:30
you can indeed set it up with one network card but then you need to configure stuff
07:30
the default simply uses two#
07:32
<hipy>
ok
07:32
so i have t put an extra network card in
07:33
where can you manage the ts btw
07:33
<ogra>
what do you want to manage ?
07:34
<alkisg>
din_os_: update-kernels.conf is in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf - you have to create it
07:34
<elias_a>
ogra: dhcpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/m2f0702db
07:34
<hipy>
well look what other users are doing etcf
07:34
<ogra>
hipy, iTalc is what you want then
07:35
<hipy>
dunno
07:35
<ogra>
elias_a, looks fine
07:35
<din_os_>
alkisg, hmm i can reach /opt/ltsp/i386/etc , no ltsp folder though
07:35
<ogra>
din_os_, create it
07:35
<alkisg>
Yeah I think you need to create that too :)
07:36
<elias_a>
ogra: ifconfig -a: http://pastebin.com/m26ed3042
07:36
<ogra>
elias_a, right
07:36
<elias_a>
In my opinion everything looks fine.
07:36
<ogra>
elias_a, it does
07:36
<alkisg>
din_os_: what do you have in dhcpd.conf ?
07:37
<elias_a>
ogra: And now it works :)
07:37
<din_os_>
no dhcpd
07:37
<ogra>
:)
07:37
<elias_a>
magic :)
07:37
<alkisg>
din_os_: how do you boot the clients? dnsmasq?
07:37
<elias_a>
(and lunch)
07:37
<ogra>
enjoy
07:39
<din_os_>
yup, kind-of, my own Proxy actually... could be that :) but worked fine on Ubuntu and still passes the rootpath and server to PXE so
07:39
I use the NIC's PXE
07:39
<zamba>
how can i make ltsp-build-client use my apt cache?
07:40
<alkisg>
din_os_: the ipconfig application in the initramfs can't read proxy dhcp options
07:40
<ogra>
zamba, --mirror
07:40
<alkisg>
din_os_: So you can't just use a proxy dhcp server. You have to provide the needed info as kernel parameters.
07:41
din_os_: try break = mount, and see if ipconfig gets the rootpath. I think you'll see that it doesn't.
07:41
<zamba>
ogra: thanks.. just figured it out :)
07:41
<din_os_>
ok, so IPAPPEND 3 must change to something I saw somewhere on the net...
07:41
<ogra>
zamba, make sure to never use localhost though
07:41
<zamba>
ogra: got it :)
07:41
<ogra>
zamba, if the proxy runs locally use your external IP
07:41
else the chroot might not see it
07:42
<zamba>
yeah, i see how that can be a problem :)
07:42
<alkisg>
din_os_: the rootpath is your main problem, not the ip. It'll get a new ip from the router - no problem there.
07:42japerry has quit IRC
07:42
<din_os_>
hold on, should I quit creating the kernel-update.conf file?
07:43
<alkisg>
What you put in update-kernels.conf reaches (when the kernel is updated) pxelinux.cfg/default
07:44
So you could just change pxelinux.cfg/default as you're testing, and when you get it right, *then* put it in update-kernels.conf...
07:45
<din_os_>
ok then, let me try something else I have in mind, brb
07:45din_os_ has quit IRC
07:45
<alkisg>
din_os_: you also need to specify a server
07:46shawnp0wers has joined #ltsp
07:46
<alkisg>
...because again ipconfig doesn't get it from the proxy dhcp server options
07:53
<ftherese>
do you have to install jetpipe on the server or client in order to get usb printer working on ltsp-client?
07:54
<ogra>
you dont install it at all
07:54
ltsp-build-client does that for you already
07:54
<ftherese>
so what might be the reason for it not working?
07:55
the printer shows up in the lsusb on the client
07:55
and I tried adding it through cups
07:55
cups didn't give any errors, but endlessly retries printing the test page after an apparently successful install
07:55
<ogra>
and you have set PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/usblp0 in your lts.conf ?
07:55
<ftherese>
yes I do
07:56
<ogra>
then it should work
07:56
<ftherese>
and that device does show up in the /dev on the client

hmm, then jeptpipe isnt running
07:57
<ftherese>
is there a way to start it?
07:57
<ogra>
the initscript does it if PRINTER_0_DEVICE is set
07:57
what distro/release is that ?

ancient ubuntu releases actually had it missing

looks ok
08:00
<ftherese>
so... any ideas? There is a PRINTER_0_WRITE_ONLY setting I could try
08:01
I guess that is more for parrallel printers though
08:01
<ogra>
right
08:01
and not required
08:01
PRINTER_0_DEVICE is all you need
08:02
<ftherese>
so if it's not working right now, is there a way to see if things that should be running are indeed running?
08:02
<ogra>
SCREEN_02=shell SCREEN_07=ldm
08:02
set these two in lts.conf
08:02
and you can switch to tty2
08:03
<ftherese>
is that the same as having a local xterm?

alkisg, progress: properly (my bad) assigned nfsroot=/opt/ltsp/i386 seems to remove the need for nfsmount but now gets stuck for 2 mins, then displays a connection time out
08:07
<alkisg>
(03:45:25 μμ) alkisg: din_os_: you also need to specify a server
08:07
(03:46:11 μμ) alkisg: ...because again ipconfig doesn't get it from the proxy dhcp server options
08:08
din_os__: so, nfsroot=<ip>:/opt/ltsp/i386
08:08
<din_os__>
oh ok, let's see
08:08
so this happens with dnsmasq too?
08:08
<alkisg>
Only if one uses nfs
08:09
With nbd you just need to specify the server (or IPAPPEND 3)
08:09
(server ==> with nbdroot=...)
08:09
<elias_a>
Wow - now we have it up running but cannot log in even though we created users inside ltsp system.
08:10
ssh keys have been updated and the image have been rebuilt
08:10
<din_os__>
I had a default file somewhere that uses IPAPPEND 2 then some long line with all the info separated by : , is this deprecated?
08:10
<elias_a>
What to look at next?
08:10
<alkisg>
din_os__: no it should still work
08:10
din_os__: upload your pxelinux.cfg/default to pastebin to make sure...
08:11
<din_os__>
ok, let me try with nfsroot first, looks better
08:11
<alkisg>
din_os__: IPAPPEND3 makes it easier for laptop-servers :)

08:41
<alkisg>
din_os__: did you install nfs-kernel-server to your server?
08:42
(I don't know if on debian it's an ltsp-server dependency or not...)
08:42
<bieb>
hipy: What?
08:42
<alkisg>
din_os__: also, I don't know if you have to manually do the exports in /etc/exports... (I mean /opt/ltsp/i386)
08:42
<din_os__>
it's there
08:43
nfs seems to be running too, nfs shows up on the ports list

My mistake - I had mistakenly created the users inside the ltsp system.

08:46
<din_os__>
ok I found some bug report that this was also due to some modules on the kernel, a fresh lenny install fixed it for him... :(
08:47
oups, my export says /opt/ltsp
08:47
<alkisg>
I don't know what's the correct one
08:48
I exported /opt/ltsp/i386 for my own scripts
08:48
<ogra>
/opt/ltsp is fine
08:48
else you have to add every single subdir
08:49
<alkisg>
din_os__: so what does your pxelinux.cfg/default look like now?
08:50
<din_os__>
found this by vagrant: /opt/ltsp *(ro,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check) should it make any difference?
08:50
*would
08:50
DEFAULT vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img nfsroot=192.168.1.20:/opt/ltsp/i386 boot=nfs
08:50
plus IPAPPEND 3 beneath
08:51
<alkisg>
Hmmm can you temporarily try without the ipappend 3?
08:51
I don't know which takes presedence... I guess nfsroot, but just to make sure..
08:51
<din_os__>
it would fail earlier
08:53
I am curious, the boot script so far seems to load drivers for everything (keyboard, mouse, usb devices) where does it get those from? are they all on the initrd?!
08:53
<alkisg>
Yup
08:53
<din_os__>
it hangs on "USB hid: hid core driver"

08:58
<elias_a>
Hey - how do I add languages to LTSP clients? Is it possible to do with Synaptic?
09:00

great. now reboot your LTSP client
09:47

o well atleast it connects
09:47
ok
09:47
wait
09:47
the client
09:47
is that on the server or that thing that conenctes
09:47
<_UsUrPeR_>
wat
09:47
<hipy>
do i just need to connect or use a restart command
09:47
im totally new at ltsp
09:47
:S
09:48
<_UsUrPeR_>
restart
09:48
<hipy>
how do i do that
09:48
<din_os>
alkisg, ogra, ok, possible bug there (but maybe too much to ask?) my client had 2 NIC's on board, only one is connected, IPCONFIG tried to use the disconnected one and failed without trying the other, disabling the disconnected nic from bios fixed the problem and the client now boots fine just by using nfsroot=<ip>:<path>
09:48
<hipy>
there is noting in init.d
09:49
<_UsUrPeR_>
hipy: no, the client. restart the client
09:49
I.E. power off/on
09:49
not the ltsp server
09:49
<alkisg>
din_os: there's a new udhcpc script in karmic which should take care all dual-nic problems (hopefully)
09:49
<hipy>
ok
09:50
<alkisg>
din_os: for jaunty, you can either put it manually in the premount folder, or you could use the ip=x:x:x....:eth1:dhcp command line to specify the nic
09:50
*note the eth1 there
09:50
<hipy>
its now at the ubuntu loading bar again
09:50
<alkisg>
din_os: unfortunately, neither ipappend 1, 2 or 3 help with the default jaunty scripts.
09:50
<hipy>
lets see what happens
09:51
<_UsUrPeR_>
hipy: it will probably not boot again. which is fine
09:51

hmm
09:51
black line again

09:51

09:51

just 1 white line at top left cornor
09:51

09:51
and what do we do now
09:51
<_UsUrPeR_>
ok, I want you to hit ctrl+alt+F2
09:52
<hipy>
ok
09:52
<_UsUrPeR_>
also: what is your base OS for your virtual machine?
09:52
<hipy>
erm
09:52
you mean where the virtual machine runs on
09:52
that is xp
09:52
<_UsUrPeR_>
yes

k
09:52* din_os is a happy Lenny Ltsp server owner

no, no. the problem is diagnosing the issue. I have no idea what busybox is, and I was hoping this would be a more straightforward issue to resolve.

dhcp is diffrent from dchp isnt it

if that is terue nope i do not have an other server

indeed i dont have other server in network

hipy: sorry I haven't read all the chat here, could you describe your network setup?
09:59
<hipy>
erm
09:59
<alkisg>
How does your server get an IP address? From the router?
09:59
<hipy>
2 network cards
09:59
virtual machne
09:59
yes from the router
09:59
<alkisg>
So the router *is* a dhcp server
10:00
So you *do* have another dhcp server (=the router), right?
10:00
(the second one being the ltsp server)
10:00
<hipy>
i tought that a router has a dchp server not a dhhcp
10:01
<alkisg>
OK. There's your problem - your clients think that your router is the ltsp server
10:01
You have to shut down the router's dhcp server
10:01
(or some similar solution)
10:01
<hipy>
i cant do that
10:01
S:
10:01
<alkisg>
Then you need a more manual setup
10:01
<hipy>
it does connect to the ubuntu server
10:01
<shawnp0wers>
_UsUrPeR_: Heehheeh -- I love that my daughter was willing to sing with me. :D
10:01

hipy: in the busybox, there are some lines there
10:02
hipy: one of them says "rootserver = <ip>"
10:02
Could you see the rootserver IP, and verify that it is your router's IP?
10:02
<hipy>
rootserver =
10:02
that 1 is empty
10:02
<cliebow>
garymc:think nx for that
10:02
<alkisg>
OK. So *it is a dhcp problem*. That one should be your ltsp server.
10:03
<hipy>
how can i fix this
10:03
wai
10:03
rootserver: 192.168.56.100
10:03
that is not my router
10:03
nor my server
10:03
:S
10:03
<alkisg>
So you have a third dhcp server on your network
10:04
:)
10:04
<hipy>
heh
10:04
wtf
10:04
o0
10:04
i dont
10:04
how the
10:04
this is the only pc online atm
10:04
<alkisg>
hipy: please don't right one word per line
10:04
<hipy>
ye sorry its like a tic:p
10:04
<alkisg>
It's makes it difficult to read the channel
10:04
<hipy>
hmm i can test it i shutdown the server if it still network boots im going to scratch my head
10:05
<alkisg>
No. A dhcp server *is not a boot server*
10:05
It just hands out ip leases
10:05
<hipy>
alkisg: Can you tell me the diffrence between dchp( wich gives out ip's ) And dhcp
10:05
o
10:05
crap
10:05
you cant do this withouth a dhcp
10:06
atleast i dont want my whole network to be ruined by that dhcp server of the ubuntu server( wich is gong to hand out ips )
10:06artista_frustrad has joined #ltsp
10:06
<hipy>
hmm now i shutdown the server i just get pxe no boot filename recieved
10:06
nothing more, no ubuntu loading screen
10:07
<alkisg>
hipy: yes, that's understandable. Read a little on the internet on what a dhcp server is, and what a pxe server is.
10:07
<hipy>
ok
10:07
<alkisg>
hipy: there are 2 or 3 dhcp servers on your network, that's your basic problem
10:07
<hipy>
well the router always have a dhcp server isnt it?
10:07
<alkisg>
There are lots of ways around that problem, but you need to know some basic stuff first
10:08
No, not all routers are configured to work as dhcp servers.
10:08
And particularily for ltsp networks, they *shouldn't* unless one uses a non-standard installation method (as I said there are lots of these)
10:08
<hipy>
hmm
10:09
How can i do it that only my router has a dhcp server
10:10staffencasa has joined #ltsp

hipy: are you trying to deply an ltsp server inside a vm, or are you just doing this to understand how it works?
10:10
*deploy
10:11
<hipy>
i try to understand and test how it work
10:11
if i install it to a real pc
10:11
would it work then
10:11
<alkisg>
Please use one line per sentence
10:11
OK. Then use the internal network for the second server nic
10:11
<hipy>
Btw does the dhcp server of the ubuntu hand out ips? , that would mess up my network entirly
10:11otavio has joined #ltsp
10:11
<hipy>
Nic? whats that. I do use an little internal network indeed.
10:12
<alkisg>
And also use the virtualbox internal network for the virtualbox client
10:12
<garymc>
cliebow : what is nx?
10:12
<hipy>
i dont know, the ips are atleast out of my range
10:12
indicating that it looks like an internal network.
10:12
<cliebow>
sort of like vnc but over ssh
10:13
<garymc>
ok so how do i accomplish this im a bit of a newb
10:13otavio has quit IRC
10:13
<hipy>
This is just bizar how can a network operate withouth a dhcp server o0
10:13
i mean then the server itself doesnt get an ip does it
10:14
<alkisg>
hipy: you need to read up a little, it's difficult to find someone here to explain it all for you. It would need hours...
10:14otavio has joined #ltsp
10:14
<alkisg>
Static ips, internal networks, dhcp servers, pxe servers etc
10:14
<hipy>
i joined not so long ago. Do you have an advice
10:14
of what to do.
10:15
<alkisg>
Hang around in this channel, and whatever unknown word you have google it.
10:15
E.g. "(06:13:23 μμ) hipy: i mean then the server itself doesnt get an ip does it" ==> google for "static ip"
10:15
<hipy>
Yes. but i need the network to operate with a dhcp server from the router
10:15
<alkisg>
hipy: ok, there is a way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP
10:16
<hipy>
hold on
10:16
<alkisg>
***but you need to be more advanced to do that
10:16
With your user level, I'd suggest that you stick to the default setup
10:16
I.e. 2 nics on the real server, and 2 switches so that it works out of the box
10:17
No VMs or other stuff until you get more experienced.
10:17
<sbalneav>
hipy: right now, you've just learned how to change the oil on your car, and you're immediately jumping into trying to build your own F15 jet fighter. I'd first off start by thoughly reading our upstream documentation:

10:17
<ltspbot`>
sbalneav: "docs" is For the most current documentation, see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream

<garymc>
anyone tell me how i can accomplish logging into my LTSP server from home as though I was at the office?
10:17
<sbalneav>
before going any further. Trying to set up an LTSP network as both a virtual server AND client is... non-trivial.
10:18
garymc: sure: ssh :)
10:18
<hipy>
alkisg i will try that url. Im not realy that novice in using linux. I do run servers etc but with terminal servers in linux im totally new
10:18
<garymc>
yeah but i just get a command promtp when doing that
10:18
i want a screen like im in the office
10:19
is that possible?
10:19
<sbalneav>
Then use vnc
10:19
<CAN-o-SPAM>
garymc: vnc or freenx
10:19
<garymc>
ive never heard of VNC how do i install it and where do i get it from?
10:20
ok i find vnc in google
10:20
do i just download it point to the ip?
10:20
<hipy>
realvnc is an exxample of vnx
10:20
:)
10:20
<sbalneav>
garymc: google for "setting up vnc on ubuntu" :)
10:21
<garymc>
ok what if im using a windows pc at home. would it still work?
10:21
Is there a free version of VNC?
10:21
<sbalneav>
Dude!
10:21
GOOGLE
10:21
yes and yes
10:22
<garymc>
ok last question. Will it mess with my current LTSP setup?
10:22
<sbalneav>
Counter question: do you have backups?
10:23
If installed properly, then no.
10:23
<garymc>
nope
10:23
not yet
10:23
ok
10:23
well ill give it a bash
10:23
thanks for the help
10:23
<sbalneav>
What, with no backups?
10:24
What, are my hints too subtle?
10:24
<garymc>
no its only test anyway
10:24
its a test LTSP server
10:24
<sbalneav>
OK, how much time have you invested in this test?
10:24
Can you afford to lose it all and start over?
10:25
If so, then carry on, good sir.
10:25
<garymc>
ye si can afford that

type the two commands I gave you
12:50
whoops
12:50
<alkisg>
pem725: I don't have much ssh experience, wait for others here. Did you do anything weird to the chroot, like e.g. try to setup key-based ssh authentication?
12:50
<sbalneav>
second one should be "which jetpipe"
12:50
I keep forgetting it's not it's own package
12:51
<alkisg>
pem725: or maybe you put stuff to hosts_deny?
12:51
<pem725>
alkisg, no I did not do anything weird.
12:51
I doubt it...but let me check.
12:51
<johnny>
pem725, read the sshd logs on the server then
12:51
<alkisg>
pem725: or any firewall/iptable rules?
12:51
<ftherese>
sbalneav: nothing returned
12:51

from the "which jetpipe"?
12:51
<ftherese>
sbalneav: from both
12:51
<sbalneav>
ok
12:52
Have you upgraded using stgraber's ppa?
12:52
<ftherese>
sbalneav: I am not sure, but I don't think so
12:52
<sbalneav>
ok
12:52
launchpad.net/~stgraber
12:52
go to his PPA section
12:53
and add the ppa lines to both the server's /etc/apt/sources.list, then copy the server's sources.list to the thin clients in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources..list
12:53
<pem725>
I am checking the sshd logs
12:54
<ftherese>
ok
12:54
<sbalneav>
then update the chroot with the usual sequence, and ltsp-update-image
12:54alexqwesa_ has quit IRC
12:54
<sbalneav>
as well, update the server's packages.
12:54
that should get you the latest ltsp packages, and solve your problem.

I guess I need to put in a line to white list all my client ip addresses.
12:59
<alkisg>
"...by monitoring invalid login attempts in the authentication log and blocking the originating IP addresses." ==> so if a user enters a wrong password 3 times, it'll block him completely???!!!!

yep, alkisg, denyhosts is brutal on some users.

unless you only allow key logins ..

<hipy>
anybody have an idea
13:20
<johnny>
don't do it
13:20
ips don't change enough
13:21
<ftherese>
so the only files ltsp-update-image needs are the ones in /opt/ltsp/i386
13:21
<johnny>
hipy, remove quiet splash keywords from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0/default
13:21
or whatever..
13:21
err pxelinux.cfg/default
13:22

how can be a dir after a file
13:23

it's not a dir.. it's a file
13:23
<ftherese>
speaking of streamlining the ltsp-client chroot, could you leave out all the /var/cache/apt files as well?
13:23
<johnny>
ftherese, i's probably not worth the hassle
13:23
i wonder why we don't tho..
13:24
<alkisg>
ftherese: you can do apt-get clean etc...
13:24

hipy, pxelinux.cfg is a directory..

what is the command for the following: Mark ltsp-server as manually installed, so that it doesn't get purged along with ltsp-server-standalone:
13:44
<johnny>
just reinstall ltsp-server
13:44
<hipy>
...
13:44
I dont need to reinstall it
13:44
i need the command
13:45
Im making my server not dhcp dependend
13:45
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP
13:45

then uninstall standalone, reinstall it
13:45
err uninstall standalone
13:45
then reinstall the regular
13:45
<hipy>
Dude
13:45
<alkisg>
johnny: hipy is talking about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP#Installing dnsmasq
13:45
<hipy>
i must flagg it
13:45
<johnny>
you don't need to..
13:45
<alkisg>
hipy: the commands are *right below* the line you read
13:45
<johnny>
it can be installed on it's own
13:45
<hipy>
erm
13:45
alkisg not to set it as manual?
13:46
<alkisg>
hipy: please, read the docs, and follow the standard ltsp installation instructions
13:46
<hipy>
o
13:46
<alkisg>
Those are for more advanced users...
13:46
<hipy>
Is that an auto awnsers
13:46
omfg
13:46
-.-
13:46
So directly when i dont know a command im a noob?
13:46
<johnny>
hmm.. i didn't know that that apt-get could do that
13:46
a n00b at this specific thing yes :)
13:47
im n00b at tons of things..
13:47
like that apt-get command :)
13:47
lol
13:47
<alkisg>
hipy: I didn't say anything like that. I'm saying that you'll get into trouble and it'll be difficult to solve your problems.
13:47
<hipy>
O please
13:47
<johnny>
i just would have done apt-get remove ltsp-server-standalone && apt-get install ltsp-server
13:47
that's n00b huh alkisg :)
13:47
<hipy>
even my friend wich have so much experience with unix is searching for the command to mark a package as manuall installed
13:47
....
13:48
<alkisg>
hipy: read, man
13:48
<hipy>
i read?
13:48
<alkisg>
Mark ltsp-server as manually installed, so that it doesn't get purged along with ltsp-server-standalone:
13:48
sudo apt-get install ltsp-server # This may update ltsp-server instead
13:48
sudo apt-get install ltsp-server # So do it twice to be certain
13:48
<hipy>
Omfg
13:48
<alkisg>
The answer was right below the sentence...
13:48
<hipy>
i aint talking about that
13:48
more about that you guys directly say im inexperienced etc when i ask something.
13:49
<alkisg>
hipy: "directly" ==> I was talking to you for more than 1 hour before I suggested that you read the docs.
13:49
So please, don't say that.
13:49
<hipy>
...
13:49
So yuo say i must read all docs before i even make an attempt?
13:49
Im not like that
13:49
ltsp-server is already the newest version.
13:49
ltsp-server set to manually installed.

13:52
E.g. the lines for pxelinux.cfg/default are already surpassed for karmic.
13:52

Did you wrote that page?
13:53
Its a good page atleast
13:53
atleast its a good page*

i mean. i have seen tuts that were far more worse
13:54
<johnny>
alkisg, surpassed for karmi?
13:54
karmic*
13:54
<alkisg>
johnny: yes, vagrantc changed the update-kernels.conf variables a little
13:55
So PXELINUX_CMDLINE does no longer work
13:55
<hipy>
alkisg i think there is something wrong in your tutorial
13:55
Create an /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf file and paste the following contents into it, while adjusting them to your needs:
13:55
that folder doesnt exist
13:56
<alkisg>
hipy: 4 paragraphs above, there was a section about installing dnsmasq

ltsp on whcih version?
14:00
<hipy>
Thats at the paragraph abuot getting it
14:01
<johnny>
err which distro version
14:01
<hipy>
Now its a simple yes no question wich you seem to refuse to awnser....
14:01
do i have to create a dir that doesnt exist yes or no
14:01
i already have dnsmaq or how you write it

dare i say it, but essentially any non-true value functions as false for booleans :)
14:05
<alkisg>
(to see if it's true or false the default)
14:05
<johnny>
vagrantc, Y counts..
14:05
as true
14:05
<hipy>
alkisg: why dont you want to awnser my question?
14:05
<vagrantc>
johnny: i didn't say otherwise
14:06
i think the officially supported values are case-insensitive y|true|yes
14:06
using other values may lead to unexpected results.
14:06
and false is any non-true value.
14:07
<johnny>
CONFIGURE_X=WTF
14:07
is false :)
14:07
<alkisg>
# match all cases of true|y|yes
14:07
[Tt][Rr][Uu][Ee]|[Yy]|[Yy][Ee][Ss]) return 0 ;;
14:07

I have solved my problem with HP ProCurve and ltsp.
14:37
"Jumbo frame" was enabled in the switch. Then nfs was started work well.
14:37
<PMantis>
dkostousov: Gigabit NICs anywhere?
14:38
<dkostousov>
Gigabit between server and switch. 100Mbit between switch and client
14:39
<PMantis>
I heard of some nightmares around that, but they're rare.
14:40
<dkostousov>
The HP Procurve 1700-24 has this option in the state "disabled".
14:43
<PMantis>

i was so tired i missed most of it
14:48
<dkostousov>
I need to provide printing on there printers for all users on all clients.
14:48
<PMantis>
dkostousov: LTSP clients work great as print servers. I can't take time right now, but lts.conf is where you add it.
14:49
<johnny>
do you actually need something in lts.conf if you have printing elsewhere?
14:49
the lts.conf vars are for local printers
14:49
<PMantis>
johnny: nope
14:49
<johnny>
the other ones should work automatically in all cases
14:49* PMantis nods
14:49
<johnny>
err
14:49
in all cases EXCEPT localapps :)
14:49
and then you need to install cups in the chroot iirc

dkostousov: Example:
14:52
PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/usb/lp0
14:52
PRINTER_0_TYPE = P
14:52
<johnny>
dkostousov, tha'ts for local printers
14:53
<PMantis>
That causes a service to listen on port 9100, and allow others on the network to print to a printer that's physically connected to the thin clietn.
14:53
I'll let others take it from here.
14:54
<Lns>
dkostousov, http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html is the LTSP admin manual if you haven't seen it yet - has that info as well as many (many) other infos. ;)

After installing the LTSP server how are changes in the server in the server OS reflected to the LTSP system?

Lns, before i leave. You shoudnt say im not polite. That guy just refuses to simple awnsers yes or no and arogantly redirects me to a site in russian...

elias_a, I think that's pretty much a user-defined variable (language) so it's per-user. I could be wrong though, and I think LDM (login manager) has it's own language settings as well. maybe someone else can chime in on that
15:19
bye hipy, good luck w/your install

for the default install yes
22:11
<zamba>
how so?
22:12
<johnny>
just that no distro would do it
22:12
if you wanna do it tho.. go for it
22:13
imo it would probably be a bit better than tftp tho..
22:13
as we can know the useragent, and perhaps the architecture of the sysystem
22:13
so no need for arch specific paths

zamba, i've idled in this channel for over a year.. probably over 300 hours
22:19
never seen anybody really try to do it

hmm 300 is kinda low now that i think about it..
22:21* vagrantc thinks http would be a more sane default
22:21
<johnny>
not quite 24/7/365.. but something close ..
22:22
vagrantc, would be neat to see what is in the headers
22:22
i should try it sometime
22:22
<vagrantc>
yeah
22:22
<johnny>
the headers would be useful, as i mentioned.. we could possibly detect architecture
22:22
<vagrantc>
well, it can't be default, i guess, because PXE supports tftp.
22:22
or rather, doesn't support http
22:23
<johnny>
yeah, you'd have to burn all your nics
22:23
<vagrantc>
you could chain-load gPXE via regular PXE by default, and do some crazy stuff.
22:23
<johnny>
yes.. and/or chainload
22:23
<vagrantc>
but then we're back to the same problem.
22:23
having different images for different architectures
22:23
<alkisg>
One way is to chainload gpxe from pxe
22:23* vagrantc wonders if any hardware vendors will support gPXE out of the box
22:24
<johnny>
vagrantc, if they support coreboot :)
22:24
i bet those would :)
22:24
i'd love to have a laptop with coreboot
22:24
<alkisg>
So with only 1 local tftp server, http booting could be done
22:24
<vagrantc>
gpxe's the only one that works with coreboot, no?
