| 07:43 | <moldy> hi
| |
| 07:44 | how do i configure dnsmasq so a single client uses a different pxe server?
| |
| 07:47 | Wastrel_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 07:48 | <alkisg> moldy: --dhcp-boot=[net:<network-id>,]<filename>,[<servername>[,<server address>]]
| |
| 07:48 | ...and I think you can prefix that with the mac address of the client
| |
| 07:50 | (ie. dhcp-boot=00:20:e0:3b:13:af,pxelinux.0,192.168.1.123)
| |
| 07:53 | <moldy> alkisg: that does not work
| |
| 07:53 | alkisg: i think i have to somehow use the net:network-id stuff
| |
| 07:53 | prefixing with a mac address is a syntax error
| |
| 07:53 | <alkisg> Maybe...
| |
| 07:53 | Really? I just tried it and it isn't
| |
| 07:54 | (dnsmasq 2.50)
| |
| 07:54 | <moldy> hmm
| |
| 07:55 | oh, i must have done something else wrong
| |
| 07:56 | looks good.. thanks :)
| |
| 07:57 | <alkisg> Does it work? I haven't actually tried it...
| |
| 07:57 | <moldy> yeah :)
| |
| 07:57 | <alkisg> Nice, /me notes that down... :)
| |
| 07:57 | <moldy> now i have an ltsp network of virtual machines. neat for testing stuff :)
| |
| 07:58 | <alkisg> vbox is really cool for ltsp testing
| |
| 07:58 | It doesn't need any setup at all :)
| |
| 07:58 | <moldy> yup, in the newer versions
| |
| 08:00 | zamba has quit IRC | |
| 08:00 | <moldy> i have bridged both the virtual ltsp server and the virtual ltsp client to my host network
| |
| 08:00 | so they have internet access
| |
| 08:00 | works nice so far... the only problem: for some reason, my mouse does not work in the client vm
| |
| 08:01 | any idea why?

| 08:01 | <alkisg> ltsp-update-kernels
| |
| 08:02 | <moldy> ah, thank you
| |
| 08:02 | <alkisg> (i've seen that when the chroot kernels differ from the tftp kernels :))

| 08:48 | <dmarkey_> just trying spice, it is very impressive, full screen youtube going fine
| |
| 08:49 | <alkisg> Local network? What about CPU usage?
| |
| 08:51 | <dmarkey_> well b wireless
| |
| 08:51 | havent monitored cpu usage
| |
| 08:54 | <alkisg> Network bandwidth and CPU usage numbers would be important to see if it's suitable for more than a couple of PCs...
| |
| 08:54 | <dmarkey_> yes i realise that.
| |
| 08:55 | i just dont have the hard numbers right now
| |
| 08:55 | <alkisg> Sure, I'm just curious :)
| |
| 08:55 | I've also tried full screen flash in LTSP and it works fine
| |
| 08:55 | But only for a couple of clients :)

| 09:24 | <moldy> alkisg: that syntax does not seem to work... dnsmasq applied it to *all* clients

| 09:57 | <moldy> alkisg: yep... i will try again later when there are no users here anymore whose systems i break :)
| |
| 09:57 | <alkisg> Yeah those damn users make administration difficult :D
| |
| 09:58 | <moldy> i just run firefox/flash as a local app. works great.

| 10:00 | * alkisg wants to test running a normal firefox, with the youtube greasemonkey plugin slightly modified so as to run mplayer locally on the client (with xrender) | |

| |
| 10:55 | <MaRX-Mode> moldy: no luck ?
| |
| 10:56 | <moldy> MaRX-Mode: trying to tell dnsmasq to hand out a different pxe server to a single client
| |
| 10:56 | <MaRX-Mode> *ouch*
| |
| 10:57 | <moldy> MaRX-Mode: have you tried this?
| |
| 10:58 | <MaRX-Mode> nope, unfortunately
| |
| 11:03 | <moldy> ahh, cool. now, it seems to work. no idea what was wrong before, maybe just a typo.

| 19:11 | <map7> I had a problem today where the network switch dropped out for 50 seconds which caused all my diskless clients (7 in total) to create large log files
| |
| 19:12 | 12GBs worth of log files
| |
| 19:12 | is it possible to limit or turn off the log files?
| |
| 19:12 | I've had a look at logrotate but that is run at night and would not of helped in this situation.
| |
| 19:12 | <Lumiere> map7: make a ramfs for the logs?
| |
| 19:15 | <map7> so if I create a ramfs on the client of say 20MB will the log files stop at 20MB?
| |
| 19:15 | Should the command be something like: # mount -t ramfs -o size=20m ramfs /var/log
| |
| 19:16 | should I put this into the client's build image /etc/fstab file?
| |
| 19:17 | Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp | |
| 19:17 | <sbalneav> Evening all
| |
| 19:18 | <Lumiere> sbalneav would be better at this then I :)
| |
| 19:18 | I haven't used LTSP heavily since the 3.x days
| |
| 19:19 | <sbalneav> map7: How much hard drive space do you have?
| |
| 19:21 | <map7> heaps of space
| |
| 19:21 | 2TB free on the server
| |
| 19:21 | These log files would of just kept on going though
| |
| 19:21 | <sbalneav> So why worry about re-configuring your entire logging system to accomodate a freak occurance?
| |
| 19:22 | <map7> I had 12GB of log files produced in 1 minute till that partition was full
| |
| 19:22 | <sbalneav> So, problem was solved, partition filled, logging stopped :)
| |
| 19:22 | <map7> as I don't want to drive all the way out to my bosses farm when this freak occurrence happens again
| |
| 19:23 | <sbalneav> man syslog.conf
| |
| 19:23 | modify your log levels.
| |
| 19:24 | <map7> cool thanks I start checking that out.
