00:26 | <vagrantc> well, ltspfs works reasonably well on lenny.
| |
00:27 | stgraber: i'm cool with tagging everything.
| |
00:27 | unless people start breaking things again :)
| |
00:33 | <johnny> uhmm. they invented these things called branches awhile you
| |
00:33 | awhile ago*
| |
00:33 | we might want to consider using them
| |
00:34 | thus.. 5.2.0 should be branched..
| |
00:34 | and then further breaking in trunk won't hurt it..
| |
00:35 | ball has joined #ltsp | |
00:44 | mikkel has joined #ltsp | |
01:15 | <vagrantc> it'd be great if people started developing features in their own branches, sure.
| |
01:16 | the main drawback with branches is that cherry-picking pretty much sucks with any VCS, and that's the main thing that would make that useful.
| |
01:16 | make it useful to essentially have multiple trunks...
| |
01:17 | and merging merges of merges of merges tends to look really stupid.
| |
01:18 | i don't think branching will really change that much.
| |
01:18 | hard enough convincing people to commit code sometimes :)
| |
01:18 | and on that note... i sleep.

02:37 | <zeltron> Hi. Trying to make ltsp-cluster work, but I've got a problem with loadbalancer : It doesn't want to start
| |
02:37 | I don't know where to look to try to find why and fix the problem
| |
02:39 | <Appiah> what does not start?
| |
02:39 | do you get a error message?
| |
02:39 | <zeltron> Appiah : /etc/init.d/ltsp-cluster-lbserver : fail
| |
02:40 | It fails since installation, and the package is signaled as "to be configured" when I aptitude update
| |
02:48 | I find nothing in syslog or entire /var/log/ dir
| |
03:06 | <Appiah> is your lbsconfig.xml configured?
| |
03:06 | alkisg has quit IRC | |
03:07 | <zeltron> Appiah : yes it is.
| |
03:11 | bobby_C has joined #ltsp | |
03:12 | <Appiah> and there is absolutly nothing in /var/log/messages ?
| |
03:12 | tail it and run the initscript again
| |
03:19 | <zeltron> Appiah : nothing at all !
| |
03:21 | <Appiah> O_o
| |
03:21 | try starting lbserver without the init script
| |
03:22 | and see the error
| |
03:22 | vlt has joined #ltsp | |
03:24 | <zeltron> Appiah : good idea !
| |
03:25 | Import error : no module named lbserver
| |
03:25 | <Appiah> python trying to import some module named lbserver ? :)
| |
03:26 | <zeltron> in /usr/sbin/ltsp-cluster-lbserver , line 5 : from lbserver import main
| |
03:42 | <Appiah> is this on karmic?
| |
03:46 | <zeltron> Appiah : No, jaunty
| |
03:47 | I find Karmic is not reliable enough, and I use stgraber's doc on ltsp-cluster's website
| |
03:49 | <Appiah> so you're using PPAs?
| |
03:49 | <zeltron> I'm not using openvz servers, though (vmware), and I use only two servers (one root with loadbalancer and ltsp-control-center and another : servapp1 )
| |
03:50 | <Appiah> Ye I did similar when I set up cluster
| |
03:50 | no openvz
| |
03:50 | <zeltron> Appiah : yes stgraber and ltsp-cluster-team sources

07:20 | <ldo> Hello, I' am studying ltsp with PXE Boot, and I didn`t find an answer for the ip-address handling, do pxe request an ip-address? Do the loading Linuximage request a new IP? Or get it passed from pxelinux?
| |
07:21 | vvinet has joined #ltsp | |
07:29 | alincoln_ is now known as alincoln | |
07:32 | <Appiah> ldo: The PXE asks for an IP
| |
07:33 | and when it goes over to the chroot I think it asks for a IP again...
| |
07:33 | you could always dump the dhcp info going and boot up a client and watch what happens
| |
07:34 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project
| |
07:34 | <ldo> ok, thank you so it could happen that the ips will be different
| |
07:34 | <Appiah> "During this process the client makes a (new) DHCP request for the IP address of the LTSP server and the path to its chroot environment. "
| |
07:35 | well since its the same dhcp server
| |
07:35 | I doubt it .. but then again . I never actully watched thtat
| |
07:35 | that*
| |
07:35 | unless you change it , it will write a lease

14:13 | <alkisg> In Ubuntu/LTSP we replaced it with udhcpc, I'm not sure but I think now debian/ltsp uses it as well

15:03 | <carbm1_> Is there a good howto on setting up LTSP in an enviroment where I'm already have a DHCP server and already booting other PXE options? The LTSP-Server needs to be on a different dedicated machine.. running Ubuntu 9.10. I've tried copying the /var/lib/tftpboot files to my PXE server but I don't know how to tell it to go to the ltsp-server. Suggestions?
| |
15:04 | <sbalneav> I believe dnsmasq's supposed to do dhcp relaying.

15:08 | dro has joined #ltsp | |
15:10 | <carbm1_> doesn't look like dnsmasq is what I need. I'm already booting off of my DHCP server. What I need is a way to boot the LTSP Kernel from my current DHCP/PXE server and have it connect to the LTSP-SERVER.
| |
15:11 | <dro> carbm1_: what kind of issues are you having?
| |
15:12 | <carbm1_> I'm wanting to have a Ubuntu 9.10 LTSP setup. I already have another server doing DHCP and PXE Booting. I want to setup a ltsp-server that doesn't have dhcpd on it. That way I can continue to use my current dhcp server and just have the kernel point to the ltsp-server. Any suggestions?
| |
15:12 | Blinny has left #ltsp | |

15:15 | <alkisg> carbm1_: there are 2 kinds of menus. PXE menus and pxelinux menus. Which one do you want?
| |
15:15 | (probably the second...)
| |
15:15 | <carbm1_> I'm using PXELinux menus.
| |
15:16 | <alkisg> carbm1_: then pass nbdroot=serverip:2000 as a kernel parameter for those machines
| |
15:16 | <carbm1_> alkisg, thats what I needed!
| |
15:18 | <alkisg> carbm1_: you *could* do the same with proxydhcp as well, but it isn't really needed in your case :)
| |
15:20 | <carbm1_> alkisg, PERFECT! How did you know what to use as kernel parameter?
| |
15:20 | <alkisg> carbm1_: erm, I read the ltsp sources :D
| |
15:21 | <carbm1_> alkisg, I think reading the sources might be a little out of my league. The links from the Ubuntu LTSP documentation are broken so I came here.
| |
15:21 | <sbalneav> carbm1_: Which links?
| |
15:22 | <carbm1_> http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html
| |
15:22 | from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP
| |
15:23 | <alkisg> carbm1_: here's *one* mention of it from the ubuntu site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/SetNBDRootSwap

15:29 | alkisg: check to make sure I didn't hoze your change
| |
15:30 | carbm1_: the upstream docs link on that page should be correct now.
| |
15:32 | <carbm1_> Thanks! I'll be doing some serious reading soon. I've got my client booting and it shows the splash screen but hangs right after it logs in.

16:18 | <sbalneav> stgraber: it's done, I think

16:18 | rev 140 should be good

16:19 | lbmount now creates the /media/userid dir as mode 700, owner userid.root

16:23 | staffencasa has joined #ltsp | |
16:23 | <atomic007za> I have a room full of thin clients, the teacher has a powerfull PC, so I installed edubuntu locally, how whould she become part of the domain? would I use NIS?

16:23 | or NFS
| |
16:23 | I want her to see the users home dir

16:23 | not sure if this is the right place to ask, if not sorry

16:29 | <sbalneav> atomic007za: Do you have a common authentication system, like ldap?
| |
16:30 | <atomic007za> not yet, have not done this before, so a bit lost
| |
16:31 | I would ideally like them to autenicate on my active dir
| |
16:31 | but I thought little steps first
| |
16:32 | <sbalneav> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ActiveDirectoryIntegration
| |
16:32 | Well, the problem is, you need common auth before you can (effectively) share home dirs.
| |
16:32 | otherwise, you'll end up with a share that you don't know who the owners are.
| |
16:33 | <atomic007za> ic
| |
16:34 | so the url doc will do it for my thin clients, by just looking quickly
| |
16:35 | must just see about the non thin client
| |
16:35 | thanks for the direction sbalneav
| |
16:36 | things have gotten alot easier in the linux would
| |
16:37 | <sbalneav> We try :)
| |
16:38 | Off for the day, back on tonight
| |
16:38 | <alkisg> Lns, the upower package is finally available, so fat clients can finally be build again. So whenever you want to give it a try, ping me :)

17:56 | <stgraber> nope

| |
18:01 | I'm commiting a new version with the -l added for testing but will try to wait for your response before tagging
| |
18:02 | uploading a new ltspfs to PPA now, for testing
| |
18:04 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
18:19 | <stgraber> yeah ! the new ltspfs works :) Just have to test LTSP fat client and I'll be ready to release everything ;)
| |
18:20 | mgariepy: ^ that solves our ltspfs issue that we have at the office btw
| |
18:21 | <mgariepy> nice :)
| |
18:21 | i'm fixing a few bugs in edubuntu-menueditor, i'll ping you when i'm ready to upload ;)
| |
18:29 | <stgraber> building a fat client chroot now, if this one goes well too, I'll tag and release everything
| |
18:30 | I'd hope to have sbalneav around to validate that small ltspfs change but on the other hand I'm already past the feature freeze ...
| |
18:35 | <sbalneav> stgraber: Nope, all fine with me
| |
18:35 | <stgraber> great
| |
18:37 | I'm doing a quick nbd-proxy test. I'm killing the connection every 3s, if it works like that, it should be fine for production :)
| |
18:37 | vagrantc has joined #ltsp | |
18:41 | <vagrantc> so, the recent change of /media/user to 700 breaks with the long discussions we had about how to do it right
| |
18:42 | i had proposed that years ago, but it was shot down ont the grounds that the user shouldn't be able to write to the / filesystem, and /media was usually not split into it's own partition.
| |
18:43 | for the record, i actually prefer 700 :)
| |
18:43 | grey-monkey has quit IRC | |
18:46 | <stgraber> vagrantc: yeah, it took a long time to convince sbalneav ;)
| |
18:46 | <vagrantc> stgraber: ok, good. a discussion happened. :)
| |
18:46 | just wanted to make sure we didn't just go ahead and do something we decided against in the past :)
| |
18:47 | <stgraber> ok, ltspfs tested and works, nbd-proxy works too. Just need fat client to be tested and we should be good.
| |
18:47 | <vagrantc> stgraber: don't see a flurry of commits ... things working good, then ? :)
| |
18:50 | <stgraber> yep
| |
18:50 | just fixing 025-locales for Ubuntu. I should try to use Debian's at some point, though we don't have locale.gen in Ubuntu
| |
18:51 | <vagrantc> we could greatly simplify the lbmount code if we make it owned by the user...
| |
18:51 | most of what happens in lbmount could actually happen without root privs, then.
| |
18:52 | <stgraber> well, we need it to be setuid to use umount with fuse devices (AFAIK)
| |
18:52 | <vagrantc> sure, but it can be a lot simpler. i wrote the code once. :)
| |
18:53 | if i recall correctly, you don't have to deal with bind mounts at all then- just mount directly into /media/username/FOO as the user ... lbmount only had to handle the directory creation/removal and unmounting fail-safe.
| |
18:54 | not something i would propose testing on the night of the release ... i wonder iff that branch is still available somewhere...
| |
18:56 | yup, branch is still there: http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/ltspfs/ltspfs-direct-mount/

| |
19:16 | ok, all ready for release, let's do it ;)

19:17 | mgariepy: what about 5s to open a gnome session ? ;) it's really fast after that one line change !

| |
19:23 | <stgraber> pushing to archive now !
| |
19:23 | then pushing to my PPA for karmic
| |

| |
19:24 | <mgariepy> haha

19:24 | what's about edubuntu-menueditor ? haha

| |
20:43 | <vagrantc> stgraber: uploading to ubuntu tonight?
| |
20:45 | <stgraber> already did

| |
20:46 | vagrantc: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/ltsp_5.2.orig.tar.gz

20:46 | <vagrantc> i see the .orig.tar.gz's in your ppa too .. those the same?
| |
20:48 | <stgraber> yep
| |
20:48 | my PPA has a backport for karmic
| |
20:49 | <vagrantc> same .orig.tar.gz ?
| |
20:50 | er, i already asked that :)
| |
20:50 | and you answered...
| |
20:51 | <stgraber> hehe :)
| |
20:51 | btw, any idea when is Debian's freeze ?
| |
20:57 | <sbalneav> vagrantc: saw the "just mount directly to the /media dir directly" thread
| |
20:58 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: sounds like y'all rehashed it out and the change won :)
| |
20:58 | <sbalneav> that was MY original idea too, and there was some reason, which escapes me, why we ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY COULD NOT DO THAT OMG YOU'RE KILLING BABIES!!!!!111111ONEonecos(0)
| |
20:58 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: yeah. stick it to em.
| |
20:58 | :)
| |
20:58 | <sbalneav> I'm wit you, I think we should just mount directly to the dir.
| |
20:58 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: the argument i recall had something to do with the user being able to fill up the / partition.
| |
20:59 | <sbalneav> right
| |
20:59 | that was it.
| |
20:59 | <vagrantc> which ... seems ... overly ... paranoid.
| |
20:59 | we can handle that by documenting the issue for the paranoid.
| |
21:00 | "if you're *one of those* sorts of administrators, consider making /media live on it's own partition."
| |
21:00 | <sbalneav> i concurr
| |
21:01 | <vagrantc> yay!
| |
21:01 | <sbalneav> I'm all for simple
| |
21:02 | heck, I liked the old "mount it in the users Desktop directory" method we used to use :)
| |
21:02 | didn't need ANY setuid stuff for that
| |
21:03 | Although, these days, I guess we should use pk-1 to create the directory.
| |
21:03 | that actually may be a nice, simple toy thing for me to learn policy-kit
| |
21:03 | all we need to do is create a dir with the right permissions/modes.

| |
21:22 | <jcastro> stgraber, I want to not do fat clients, I'm going to move all my noisy crap to one room and go thin client
| |
21:22 | <vagrantc> bug tracking system
| |
21:22 | <jcastro> sbalneav, yeah, there was some lame conflict last year. I am in for this year
| |
21:23 | <stgraber> jcastro: btw, are you at SCALE this week ?
| |
21:23 | <sbalneav> mgariepy: you better be. Then you can hear the "Trout Princess" story told again.
| |
21:23 | <jcastro> stgraber, no, jono will be stopping by though
| |
21:23 | <mgariepy> yeah, this story was so nice ;)
| |
21:23 | <sbalneav> Its an annual tradtion.
| |
21:24 | It's like "The Night Before Christmas" for LTSP hackers :)
| |
21:24 | <jcastro> sbalneav, after the last BTS I am sold on the region. I am having my honeymoon all up and down that coast
| |
21:24 | <stgraber> jcastro: ok, we are in charge of the Try it lab there, it's all LTSP thin clients on Karmic with Asus EEETop and LTSP-Cluster backend. Installed by mgariepy.
| |
21:24 | <sbalneav> Yeah, I hear you're joining the ranks ot the married soon.
| |
21:25 | Got 19 years to catch up to me. Get busy and spawn some progeny :)
| |
21:25 | <jcastro> stgraber, yeah I am a bit behind, like, I totally forgot how to sysadmin.
| |
21:25 | JeffATL2 has joined #ltsp | |
21:25 | <jcastro> stgraber, the tftp change totally screwed me, so I thought it was my fault. So needless to say I was tearing all sorts of things apart that I should not have been
| |
21:26 | <stgraber> jcastro: hehe, then after breaking everything you saw the thread on -devel ? :)
| |
21:26 | <jcastro> right
| |
21:26 | here I am like reinstalling my dhcp server and breaking out my books
| |
21:26 | "oh crap, did I just purge that box?"
| |
21:27 | luckily for me alincoln is closeby on IRC and has helped me stumble around
| |
21:28 | <JeffATL2> approaching ltsp under gentoo; longtime gentoo user. is the basic ltsp idea that clients run *the same binaries* that the server has built? am wondering about having servers and clients of different arches (ii.e., AMD64 server, x86 clients)
| |
21:32 | <mgariepy> hey guy, see you tomorrow, i'll go dream about the trout princess
| |
21:35 | mgariepy has quit IRC | |
21:43 | carbm2 has joined #ltsp | |
21:46 | <JeffATL2> or perhaps more importantly, AMD64 server, atom client?
| |
21:53 | <sbalneav> JeffATL2: Well...
| |
21:53 | the chroot is build in a separate location, usually /opt/ltsp/<arch>
| |
21:53 | so you're not running the same / as the server
| |
21:54 | so it's quite possible to have AMD64 server and i386 clients
| |
21:54 | in fact, these days, it's pobably the most common way to run.
| |
22:16 | JeffATL2 is now known as JeffATL | |
22:17 | <JeffATL> sbalneav: ok, but it sounds as though you'd need to build that chroot environment on one of the clients
| |
22:17 | at least if they are distinctly incompatible
| |
22:19 | <sbalneav> yes, or in something like qemu
| |
22:19 | if it's AMD64 to i386, that can be done on the same server, though
| |
22:20 | but if you're trying to run, say, old mac clients on an intel box, that won't work
| |
22:20 | youd have to build the chroot on a mac
| |
22:24 | JeffATL has left #ltsp | |
22:27 | <sbalneav> you're welcome :)
