| |
| 08:11 | <_UsUrPeR_> Gadi: morning. Give me a moment to get my stuff straight. This pertains to ltsp-cluster in 9.10
| |
| 08:12 | <Gadi> in that case, you may have the wrong girl -> where's stgraber hiding?
| |
| 08:12 | * shawnp0wers looks around his office... No stgraber here! | |

| |
| 08:38 | ftherese: my client would not boot upon ltsp-build-client completion
| |
| 08:38 | ftherese: I re-installed ubuntu because I couldn't get a proper image created
| |
| 08:39 | ftherese: after re-installation, images built fine, but I had to re-install. I thought it was screwing up due to some other stuff I was doing.

| 08:52 | <art> I wonder if NBD makes my clients don't want to shut down and get stuck on the ldm white screen
| |
| 08:52 | when they power off...
| |
| 08:53 | <Gadi> art: there is a bug in 9.10's ldm wrt poweroff/reboot from ldm screen
| |
| 08:53 | it has been fixed, but not packaged yet
| |
| 08:53 | <art> Hi, Gadi, how are you? Good to hear from you again :)
| |
| 08:54 | Ok I see...
| |
| 08:54 | <Gadi> thanks, u 2
| |
| 08:54 | <shawnp0wers> Gadi: is the bug the one that just fails with a text screen when trying to reboot/shutdown?
| |
| 08:54 | <Gadi> shawnp0wers: yeah - with squashfs errors normally
| |
| 08:54 | <shawnp0wers> Cool, glad to know it's not just me. :D
| |
| 08:54 | Not a big deal though, just power off
| |
| 08:55 | <Gadi> the failing may look different on different clients
| |
| 08:55 | it is because ldm issues a poweroff -p
| |
| 08:55 | <shawnp0wers> SquashFS errors are what I see
| |
| 08:55 | <Gadi> which tells the system to shutdown via init
| |
| 08:55 | as opposed to poweroff -fp
| |
| 08:55 | <shawnp0wers> ahh
| |
| 08:55 | <Gadi> which tells it to just halt immediately
| |
| 08:56 | 9.10 changed its init system
| |
| 08:56 | <art> But sometimes it shuts down okay, sometimes it doesn't, so I just tell my officemates to plug the power from the socket? Is this the only way?
| |
| 08:56 | Is this okay?
| |
| 08:56 | <Gadi> and the result is the nbd and networking get removed before it can call halt, and without a rootfs, there's no halt to call
| |
| 08:56 | :)
| |
| 08:56 | <art> Yes, so NBD is part of it?
| |
| 08:56 | <Gadi> art: I can help you roll a package with the fix, if you like
| |
| 08:57 | <shawnp0wers> :%s/cart/horse/g ;)
| |
| 08:57 | <art> I just won't use NBD is that it?
| |
| 08:57 | <Gadi> no it will affect nfs, as well
| |
| 08:57 | but, you can fix it yourself
| |
| 08:57 | easily enough
| |
| 08:58 | <art> Gadi, thanks you're so helpful. :)
| |
| 08:58 | <Gadi> np - have you rebuilt deb packages before?
| |
| 08:59 | <art> Oh no, not yet, I think it's for the experts only
| |
| 09:00 | Can I just switch off NBD swap?
| |
| 09:00 | Can I just switch off NBD remote swap is that it?
| |
| 09:00 | <shawnp0wers> Anyone have thoughts on the best way to install LTSP4.2 for booting OLD thin clients directly into rdesktop?
| |
| 09:00 | <Gadi> art: nope
| |
| 09:00 | its not as scary as it sounds
| |
| 09:01 | read this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rebuilding-ubuntu-debian-linux-binary-package/
| |
| 09:01 | in your case, you would apt-get source ldm
| |
| 09:01 | make the change and issue the command to rebuild
| |
| 09:01 | and then install the new ldm deb package in the chroot
| |
| 09:01 | and update the image
| |
| 09:01 | done
| |
| 09:02 | monteslu has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:02 | <art> I see...
| |
| 09:02 | Is this for 9.10 only?
| |
| 09:03 | <stgraber> Gadi: I'm hiding in Dallas ;)
| |
| 09:03 | <art> Hey friend, do you have a youtube channel or blog I can subscribe ? Hehe.
| |
| 09:04 | <sbalneav> rjune: pong
| |
| 09:04 | <art> Ah so, I'll reinstall ldm, but it's a package I built?
| |
| 09:04 | <rjune> sbalneav, hey, Is Sabayon in 9.04 known to be broken?
| |
| 09:04 | <art> What if I update my kernel, does it break?
| |
| 09:05 | <sbalneav> Stock sabayon? Or the one in my ppa
| |
| 09:05 | <rjune> Stock
| |
| 09:05 | <sbalneav> Yes
| |
| 09:05 | <rjune> good. glad to know that
| |
| 09:05 | What's the address of your PPA?
| |
| 09:05 | and how does one add it?
| |
| 09:06 | alkisg has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:06 | <Gadi> art: your kernel has nothing to do with this
| |
| 09:06 | <sbalneav> launchpad.net/~sbalneav
| |
| 09:06 | go to the "my ppa" link
| |
| 09:06 | <art> Ok
| |
| 09:07 | I see
| |
| 09:07 | <sbalneav> instructions to add it are on the page.
| |
| 09:07 | <Gadi> art: go thru the steps in that post up until apt-get source ldm and then let me know when you're there
| |
| 09:08 | <art> Ok, but I don't have 9.10 installed yet
| |
| 09:08 | I was using 9.04 when the ldm white screen appears
| |
| 09:09 | when I poweroff thin clients
| |
| 09:09 | Is it the same?
| |
| 09:09 | <shawnp0wers> art: with 9.04 I would get the "sometimes it works" problem
| |
| 09:09 | <rjune> sbalneav, thanks a ton
| |
| 09:10 | <Appiah> Anyone know how to remove that window that shows up on your clients when your running ltsp-cluster?
| |
| 09:10 | or modify what information that it shows?
| |
| 09:11 | <art> Yeah, shawnp0wers: sometimes it also works for me, then sometimes it just won't shutdown and give a white screen, Gadi will this work?
| |
| 09:11 | <rjune> sbalneav, and the 12 day old sabayon is good right?
| |
| 09:11 | <sbalneav> rjune: Well, that one's for karmic
| |
| 09:12 | but it should be fine. It has apply-by-group
| |
| 09:12 | <Appiah> oooh , any new docs yet sbalneav ?
| |
| 09:12 | <sbalneav> yeah, they're in my git repo, but there's a problem
| |
| 09:13 | <shawnp0wers> art: 9.10 is worth the upgrade, BTW. *very* nice. :)
| |
| 09:13 | <sbalneav> clicking on the "help" button actually exits sabayon :(
| |
| 09:13 | I'm still trying to figure out why.
| |
| 09:13 | but the manuals about 15 pages printed out.
| |
| 09:14 | <Gadi> art: do you have something to lose by trying?
| |
| 09:16 | <art> Nope. OK I'll try!
| |
| 09:17 | shawn: Ok I'll upgrade on the weekend, in case something breaks I have time to fix it! :)
| |
| 09:17 | <Appiah> sbalneav: I see :D
| |
| 09:18 | <art> Thanks a lot Gadi, I'll post my reports after I rebuild ldm.
| |
| 09:18 | Ahmuck has joined #ltsp | |
| 09:18 | <Gadi> art: but I didnt tell you what to change yet
| |
| 09:18 | :)
| |
| 09:18 | <art> Oh, you just don't follow that link?
| |
| 09:18 | <Gadi> nope
| |
| 09:19 | that link is just how to rebuid packages in general
| |
| 09:19 | <art> Oh yeah, silly me.
| |
| 09:20 | Ok I'm gonna do it now
| |
| 09:20 | <Gadi> if you look in gtkgreet/greeter.c in the source, you will find "poweroff -p" and "reboot -p" change to "poweroff -fp" and "reboot -fp"
| |
| 09:20 | save
| |
| 09:21 | and rebuild the package
| |
| 09:21 | as per the instructions on rebuilding packages
| |
| 09:21 | then, copy the .deb into /opt/ltsp/i386, chroot /opts/ltsp/i386, dpkg -i *.deb, rm *.deb, exit, ltsp-update-image
| |
| 09:23 | <art> OK. I just installed build-essential, slow Internet... For a while...
| |
| 09:26 | <cyberorg> only live LTSP server distro is here :) http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=05780
| |
| 09:26 | * cyberorg hiyas all | |
| 09:26 | <Appiah> live?
| |
| 09:27 | <rjune> Appiah, liveCD is my guess
| |
| 09:27 | <cyberorg> Appiah, live installable DVD/USB stick image
| |
| 09:27 | <Appiah> livecd ltsp server O_o
| |
| 09:28 | <cyberorg> works much better from USB stick than DVD
| |
| 09:28 | <Appiah> well liveusb/cd/dvd
| |
| 09:29 | if I use the "live" ltsp server and later decide to install it , will it keep all my configs?
| |
| 09:29 | <cyberorg> Appiah, config takes 30 seconds to redo :)
| |
| 09:29 | <Appiah> thats a no then :D
| |
| 09:30 | I was thinking of everything
| |
| 09:30 | like users , customization etc
| |
| 09:30 | <cyberorg> nopes, live is just for demo, you can install and run easy-ltsp to set it up again though
| |
| 09:31 | <Appiah> can I reboot the live and keep my live settings?
| |
| 09:31 | <cyberorg> customizations are persistent on USB stick, but not transferred on install to hard disk
| |
| 09:31 | <Appiah> ok
| |
| 09:31 | <cyberorg> yes you can, we think of everything :)

| |

| 09:46 | <shawnp0wers> WTF... I have 3 servers running CentOS/LTSP4.2 -- and all 3 of them exhibit the problem where thin clients boot up and get "nfs: server 10.10.5.3 not responding, still trying"
| |
| 09:46 | GRRRRR
| |
| 09:46 | * shawnp0wers has many Pentium 133 thin clients, so must use LTSP 4.2 | |
| 09:46 | <_UsUrPeR_> stgraber: ping? questions about ltsp-cluster. Gadi: you may be able to answer this too
| |
| 09:50 | <stgraber> _UsUrPeR_: I can try to answer (I'm in UDS sessions all day so may not be very focused on IRC)
| |
| 09:51 | <alkisg> shawnp0wers: how much RAM on them?
| |
| 09:52 | <CAN-o-SPAM> shawnp0wers: we have a lovely guy named Tim Allen (Detroit native), i think he can soup those up for you ;)
| |
| 09:53 | <shawnp0wers> alkisg: 32MB -- I've been using them for years
| |
| 09:53 | CAN-o-SPAM: I'm a Detroit native too. :)
| |
| 09:54 | <alkisg> shawnp0wers: nice! 64MB is the lower limit for LTSP5, so if I'm ever in a lab with 32MB, I may try to dig up all this ancient history... :)
| |
| 09:54 | <Appiah> hey stgraber anyway to edit or remove the windows that popups on the thin client displaying which server your connected to?
| |
| 09:54 | (ltsp-cluster) that is
| |
| 09:54 | <shawnp0wers> alkisg: I use LTSP4.2, with NBD Swap -- they work fairly well. :)
| |
| 09:55 | <stgraber> Appiah: sure, just create a node and move the thin client inside it
| |
| 09:55 | <Appiah> what will that do?
| |
| 09:56 | <stgraber> nothing, just that the thin client will no longer be considered "not configured"
| |
| 09:56 | <Appiah> ah ok
| |
| 09:57 | what's the Trash [-1] ?
| |
| 09:57 | <stgraber> that's where deleted thin clients will be moved to
| |
| 09:57 | (we never actually remove them from the DB)
| |
| 09:57 | <Appiah> I see
| |
| 09:57 | well thanks
| |
| 10:00 | <_UsUrPeR_> stgraber: why does ltsp-server have to be installed on appserves?
| |
| 10:01 | sutula has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:04 | <stgraber> _UsUrPeR_: it doesn't. All you need on the appserv is ldm-server, ltsp-cluster-lbagent, ltsp-cluster-accountmanager
| |
| 10:05 | <_UsUrPeR_> stgraber: ahh. ok. In the help.ubuntu.com ltsp-cluster site, ltsp-server is installed on appserves.

| 10:10 | <ftherese> where is the ltsp-build-client command fully documented?
| |
| 10:11 | is it possible to build a karmic thin client running on a jaunty server?
| |
| 10:11 | <alkisg> ftherese: why would you want that?
| |
| 10:11 | garymc has quit IRC | |
| 10:11 | <alkisg> You shouldn't use different ltsp versions in the chroot than those on the server
| |
| 10:11 | <sbalneav> ftherese: Generally a bad idea.
| |
| 10:12 | <alkisg> There's a chance that they'll be incompatible
| |
| 10:12 | <sbalneav> "man ltsp-build-client" should give you most information
| |
| 10:13 | <ftherese> I have a problem in that I can't seem to build the client without it reporting a failure on the ldm-ubuntu-theme
| |
| 10:13 | <sbalneav> What failure?
| |
| 10:13 | <ftherese> it simply says that it fails because it can't find that package
| |
| 10:13 | is that "cosmetic" or is it grave?
| |
| 10:13 | <alkisg> ftherese: you have stgraber's ppa in your sources?
| |
| 10:14 | <ftherese> well... I am trying to figure out how to tell ltsp-build-client to use the right sources.list
| |
| 10:14 | and to include the usage of the apt-cacher packages
| |
| 10:14 | <alkisg> ftherese: afaik, that only happens if you have stgraber's ppa in your sources, and NOT on the chroot
| |
| 10:15 | <ftherese> and now I am getting a bunch of failures like
| |
| 10:15 | Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites :
| |
| 10:15 | <alkisg> (or something like that - there was a name change in ldm-ubuntu-theme)
| |
| 10:15 | <ftherese> dbus: Dépend: libexpat1 (>= 1.95.8) mais il n'est pas installable
| |
| 10:15 | hal: Dépend: libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78) mais il n'est pas installable
| |
| 10:15 | etc.
| |
| 10:15 | ldm: Dépend: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0) mais il n'est pas installable
| |
| 10:16 | the problem has to do with it trying to install off of the apt-cacher I think... but I don't know why

| |
| 10:22 | sigh
| |
| 10:24 | <IHS_Volunteer> So, I'm working on setting up localapps... I got the router functionality working, as far as I can tell(with a test PC). Getting firefox to work as a local app is challenging me(it seems like it's still running exclusively from the server) I got arora installed, but it's not connecting to the outside world.

| 10:27 | Heh. Test PC is just fine, the LTSP client isn't using the DNS server, though.
| |
| 10:28 | Kicer86 has joined #ltsp | |
| 10:31 | <IHS_Volunteer> how do I get it to use the DNS server I want it to use, and not whatever it's using?
| |
| 10:32 | <johnny> dhcpd
| |
| 10:33 | <IHS_Volunteer> I can use a test pc hooked up to the LTSP network, and it works fine. it uses the DNS server I want it to use by default.
| |
| 10:34 | I can type www.google.com into my browser, and it just goes to it. I type www.google.com into arora as a local app, and it can't find it. I type the IP of google into it, and it works.
| |
| 10:35 | so if you meant dhcpd, as in the configuration file on the server... I've done that, and it works for everything but the clients.
| |
| 10:37 | <alkisg> Did you put DNS_SERVER and SEARCH_DOMAIN in lts.conf ?
| |
| 10:37 | <johnny> alkisg, you'd think that coudl be discovered.. i don't see why that should have to be set
| |
| 10:38 | <IHS_Volunteer> I put DNS server, this search domain, I don't know what that is.
| |
| 10:38 | <alkisg> johnny: well, I guess you devs had your security reasons against it :)
| |
| 10:38 | IHS_Volunteer: cat /etc/resolv.conf in the server, what do you have there?
| |
| 10:38 | <johnny> security?
| |
| 10:38 | <alkisg> Yeah, to prevent the clients from accessing the internet
| |
| 10:39 | <IHS_Volunteer> # Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 10.40.32.2 nameserver 10.40.32.3
| |
| 10:39 | <alkisg> At least in Ubuntu, the gateway in dhcpd.conf isn't right for that reason
| |
| 10:39 | <johnny> seems like we have the wrong defaults then
| |
| 10:39 | it should be default on.. not off
| |
| 10:39 | <alkisg> Let me get you the bug report...
| |
| 10:40 | <IHS_Volunteer> and in my lts.conf it's DNS_SERVER=10.40.32.2
| |
| 10:40 | <alkisg> IHS_Volunteer: put SEARCH_DOMAIN=local
| |
| 10:40 | johnny: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/390155
| |
| 10:40 | "...initially these values were at such defaults on purpose because clients should not have access to any other networks"
| |
| 10:44 | <IHS_Volunteer> also, despite firefox being installed locally in the server, I -really- think it's still using the one on the server. LOCAL_APPS_MENU=True is set.
| |
| 10:44 | <johnny> you can prove it by looking in the ps list on the server
| |
| 10:47 | <IHS_Volunteer> and after saying that, I open firefox after the 5th reboot of the client, and it behaves a little different...and then doesn't show in the process list. and by behave a little different, I mean it's doing the same thing as arora.
| |
| 10:49 | well, a potential fix seems to be to use a proxy that has a static IP. and wouldn't you know it, I'm considering setting one up to speed other things up anyways.
| |
| 10:50 | <alkisg> IHS_Volunteer: did you put SEARCH_DOMAIN in lts.conf?
| |
| 10:51 | <IHS_Volunteer> alkisg, yes, it didn't fix the problem.
| |
| 10:51 | <alkisg> IHS_Volunteer: ok, can you try some stuff?
| |
| 10:51 | <IHS_Volunteer> sure.
| |
| 10:51 | <alkisg> First, while on a client, open up a gnome-terminal
| |
| 10:51 | In that terminal, type: ltsp-localapps xterm
| |
| 10:51 | An xterm should pop up. Did it?
| |
| 10:52 | <IHS_Volunteer> yep
| |
| 10:52 | <alkisg> Try: cat /etc/resolv.conf
| |
| 10:52 | What do you get?
| |
| 10:52 | <IHS_Volunteer> Permission denied. o_O
| |
| 10:53 | <alkisg> OK.
| |
| 10:53 | Try: /usr/bin/getltscfg -a
| |
| 10:53 | What do you get?
| |
| 10:53 | (or, better yet, upload your /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf to pastebot)
| |
| 10:54 | <johnny> isn't that the problem alkisg ? shouldn't /etc/resolv.conf be readable?
| |
| 10:54 | otherwise resolution won't work
| |
| 10:54 | <alkisg> johnny: it's automatically fixed if you put DNS_SERVER and SEARCH_DOMAIN
| |
| 10:54 | <IHS_Volunteer> !pastebot
| |
| 10:54 | <ltspbot> IHS_Volunteer: "pastebot" is The LTSP pastebot is at http://pastebot.ltsp.org. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebot, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. A link to the content will be pasted in the channel.
| |
| 10:54 | <alkisg> A new one gets created, and it has the proper permissions...
| |
| 10:55 | But there was a bug about the resolv.conf mode back in Jaunty beta - maybe IHS_Volunteer hit that one...
| |
| 10:55 | <IHS_Volunteer> I started with a new release of jaunty..did it not get fixed or magically disappear so no one fixed it?
| |
| 10:56 | Er...new release as in..right before Karmic came out
| |
| 10:56 | and I am using Jaunty
| |
| 10:56 | <alkisg> It's fixed, but I'm not 100% sure if it was right before or right *after* the jaunty release :D
| |
| 10:56 | sbalneav: who runs pastebot.ltsp.org? It's been down for some days now...
| |
| 10:57 | IHS_Volunteer: use paste.ubuntu.com
| |
| 10:59 | (I'm talking about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/347957 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/348305)
| |
| 11:00 | <IHS_Volunteer> I put my lts.conf and dhcpd.conf file in this paste thing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/321668/
| |
| 11:00 | <alkisg> ...and yup, it seems that it was fixed *after* the jaunty release
| |
| 11:00 | <IHS_Volunteer> It should be easy to see where they split.
| |
| 11:01 | <alkisg> dhcpd.conf doesn't matter for dns
| |
| 11:01 | (for jaunty ltsp clients, that is...)
| |
| 11:01 | IHS_Volunteer: so either put stgraber's ppa in your sources.list, OR use the hack they mention at the bug page
| |
| 11:01 | !stgraber-ppa
| |
| 11:01 | <ltspbot> alkisg: "stgraber-ppa" is https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+archive/ppa
| |
| 11:02 | <IHS_Volunteer> that's the server sources.list, right?
| |
| 11:02 | <alkisg> Nope :)
| |
| 11:02 | Client sources.list, and update client, and update image etc etc
| |
| 11:02 | <IHS_Volunteer> Alright, I think I have the client's one open already
| |
| 11:02 | <alkisg> Ah, not image
| |
| 11:02 | Update the initramfs
| |
| 11:03 | <IHS_Volunteer> o.o
| |
| 11:03 | <alkisg> sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 update-initramfs -u
| |
| 11:03 | sudo ltsp-update-kernels
| |
| 11:03 | <IHS_Volunteer> thanks.
| |
| 11:03 | <alkisg> Something like that..
| |
| 11:03 | (of course, *after* putting the sources.list, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade etc)
| |
| 11:04 | <IHS_Volunteer> would dist-upgrade take it to 9.10? not sure I want to do that yet.
| |
| 11:04 | <alkisg> No
| |
| 11:05 | dist-upgrade means "if not installed packages are required to properly update the system, do install them"
| |
| 11:05 | upgrade means "update what you can without installing not-already-installed packages"
| |
| 11:05 | update-manager -d means "do a release upgrade ;)"
| |
| 11:06 | <FrozenZia> hi all - any record of LTSP server causing some "weird" traffic? Like generating 50 some different requests on different ports?
| |
| 11:06 | 9.10 edubuntu in my case.
| |
| 11:09 | Our connection in our office to the rest of our school network (and ultimately to the internet) is via a wireless router. I was experiencing some VERY weird stuff the other day after I got that LTSP server running, and during investigations, logged on to the router, and under "Active Connections" there were I'm guessing something like 50 listings for an internal IP address, with varying port numbers.
| |
| 11:10 | Didn't take the time yet to see where the IP address was coming from, but when I unplugged the LTSP server from the network (upstream), the connections went away.
| |
| 11:11 | <IHS_Volunteer> Errors were encountered while processing:|/var/cache/apt/archives/hal_0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu4_i386.deb|/var/cache/apt/archives/pulseaudio_1%3a0.9.14-0ubuntu20.3_i386.deb|E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
| |
| 11:12 | oh joy
| |
| 11:13 | wait, that was a normal upgrade. lets try dist-upgrade and see if it errors more.

| |
| 11:30 | <johnny> unlikely..
| |
| 11:30 | <alkisg> IHS_Volunteer: did you mount /proc , etc?
| |
| 11:30 | IHS_Volunteer: there's a standard procedure for chroot updates, if you don't know it search the ubuntultsp wiki
| |
| 11:31 | <johnny> shawnp0wers, there are no debs that will install on recent ubuntu anyways
| |
| 11:31 | just copy your ltsp42 chroot

| 11:31 | and do the setup manually

| 22:44 | * Ryan52 swears he's seen that commit before.. | |
| 22:45 | <Ryan52> revno: 942
| |
| 22:45 | committer: Stéphane Graber <stgraber@ubuntu.com>
| |
| 22:45 | ldm: Don't force reboot and poweroff (in case we have some init scripts that need to be run)
| |
| 22:45 | == some time passes ==
| |
| 22:45 | revno: 1214
| |
| 22:45 | committer: Gideon Romm <gideon@symbio-technologies.com>
| |
| 22:45 | Force poweroff and reboot instead of going through init.
| |
| 22:45 | lol, how nice.
| |
| 22:45 | * Ryan52 emails Gadi & list | |
| 22:46 | <stgraber> any reason for which ldm.pot got removed ?
| |
| 22:46 | Ryan52: yeah, I was actually going to revert that change myself but it's more fun to see Gadi doing it ;)
| |
| 22:46 | <Ryan52> stgraber: oh, you were?
| |
| 22:47 | oh.
| |
| 22:47 | got it. lol.
| |
| 22:47 | read it wrong at first, I thought you meant you agreed with Gadi's change.
| |
| 22:47 | <stgraber> Ryan52: you read irght
| |
| 22:47 | *right
| |
| 22:47 | I perfectly agree with that change :)
| |
| 22:47 | <Ryan52> oh.
| |
| 22:47 | why?
| |
| 22:47 | I mean...why'd you make it in the first place then?
| |
| 22:48 | <stgraber> dropping -f was a test to have nbd to close the session correctly but that doesn't seem to be possible
| |
| 22:48 | <Ryan52> ah
| |
| 22:48 | <stgraber> and it's actually causing additional issues (like thin client not stopping/rebooting due to squashfs issue)
| |
| 22:49 | <sbalneav> stgraber: hey there, how's TX?
| |
| 22:50 | <stgraber> UDSish :)
| |
| 22:51 | Doesn't really feel like Texas when you have more european than american around you ;)
| |
| 22:51 | <sbalneav> heh
| |
| 22:52 | Where's the list of bof's? Any edubunty ones you'd like me to poke my nose into?

| 23:17 | <alkisg> stgraber: Is there an edubuntu meeting today? If so, we should update https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Meetings/Agenda
| |
| 23:19 | <ball> Does Ubuntu's ltsp variant expect to find two network adaptors?
| |
| 23:20 | <alkisg> ball: yes, but if it doesn't, it prompts you to manually modify dhcpd.conf later on
| |
| 23:20 | (that is, the alternate cd installer)
| |
| 23:21 | <ball> Oh dear, it looks as though the installer just died anyway
| |
| 23:21 | "Couldn't download package dash"
| |
| 23:21 | ...so perhaps the question's moot.
| |
| 23:21 | <stgraber> alkisg: if there's one, I probably won't be able to attend. I guess it's better to start meetings again after UDS
| |
| 23:22 | <alkisg> stgraber: ok, thanks :)
| |
| 23:22 | ball: is that by pressing F4 in the alternate CD?
| |
| 23:22 | Or by just running ltsp-build-client?
| |
| 23:22 | * ball nods | |
| 23:22 | <ball> (F4)
