| 03:59 | <BbT0n> hi all
| |
| 04:00 | i have a problem with LTSP V5 in debian 5.0 ! It work with PXe .... my TTY is chroot, but when i want connect with graphical interface, is not chrooted .... have you got an idea ?
| |
| 04:00 | <Appiah> chrooted X ?
| |
| 04:01 | it's not supposed to be chrooted , you are working on the server
| |
| 04:01 | nubae has joined #ltsp | |
| 04:02 | nubae_ has quit IRC | |
| 04:03 | <BbT0n> Appiah, ok, i run LTSP, but i want chrooted my customer in /opt/I386/..... why it run with TTY1 and not with my Graphical Interface ? I must share my graphic environement with the server ?
| |
| 04:04 | <Appiah> Never done anything like that
| |
| 04:04 | sorry
| |
| 04:04 | <BbT0n> Appiah, are you shure ? It's not secure ?
| |
| 04:05 | <Appiah> LTSP has no chrooted X , not default , no ltsp tool to do that. Maybe you can find someone who has done that in here
| |
| 04:05 | think some people have discussed different solutions for this in the mailing list
| |
| 04:06 | <alkisg> BbT0n: you need to have a desktop environment installed on the server, if that's what you're asking.
| |
| 04:06 | The clients use the desktop environment on the server, so they can't work if the server doesn't have a DE.
| |
| 04:08 | <BbT0n> No my DE work, i can connect it ! but is not chroot
| |
| 04:08 | Appiah, ok so it's impossible ......
| |
| 04:09 | <Appiah> BbT0n: uhmm whats impossible?
| |
| 04:10 | Someone was talking about Ltsp+lxc
| |
| 04:11 | <BbT0n> Appiah, my ltsp work but TTY7 is not chroot, i share my home with server, but in command line i'm chrooted ....
| |
| 04:11 | lxc ???
| |
| 04:11 | <Appiah> yes , you are supposed to work on the server thats how LTSP works
| |
| 04:12 | you can edit lts.conf to make TTY6 local cmd line
| |
| 04:12 | or tty# maybe
| |
| 04:12 | http://lxc.sourceforge.net/
| |
| 04:12 | <BbT0n> Appiah, ok i go see it
| |
| 04:13 | <Appiah> but you will have to do some research , like I said, I never done anything like that
| |
| 04:13 | and so far I have yet to talk to someone using such solution

| 04:35 | <BbT0n> Appiah, why would i use lxc, i cant chroot my X for ltsp ? Because the last problem for me is chroot desktop in /opt/..... for my light customer. I present lstp in my classrom ;) thx for your help
| |
| 04:36 | <Appiah> well I dunno thats maybe one solutions
| |
| 04:36 | -s
| |
| 04:36 | like I said above, I have not done this nor do I know anyone who want this
| |
| 04:36 | Egyptian[Home] has quit IRC | |
| 04:36 | <Appiah> you can try to ask on the mailing list and here
| |
| 04:36 | if you find something please mail it out
| |
| 04:37 | maybe locking down the users is enough (check out sabayon)
| |
| 04:41 | <alkisg> BbT0n: ldm uses ssh to connect to the server, so you want it to connect to a chroot instead?
| |
| 04:42 | Maybe you can use ChrootDirectory in sshd_config for that.
| |
| 04:46 | <BbT0n> alkisg, nice it's good idea i can't test it now, have you test it ?
| |
| 04:46 | <alkisg> No
| |
| 04:46 | It's usually easier to have a separate ltsp server
| |
| 04:46 | <BbT0n> because XDMCP is in SSH ?
| |
| 04:46 | <alkisg> LTSP doesn't use XDMCP
| |
| 04:46 | <Appiah> :D
| |
| 04:47 | <BbT0n> alkisg, easier, not for me now, my command line environement work chrooted
| |
| 04:47 | <alkisg> It uses ssh for authentication, and then it either uses ssh -X or some xauth magic...
| |
| 04:47 | BbT0n: how exactly did you chroot it?
| |
| 04:47 | <Appiah> its already chrooted...
| |
| 04:47 | when the client pxe boots
| |
| 04:48 | <alkisg> BbT0n: can you describe in more words what have you already done and what you want to do? Maybe there's a misunderstanding that could be solved more easily than having to invent a new method
| |
| 04:48 | Egyptian[Home] has joined #ltsp | |
| 04:48 | <BbT0n> alkisg, ok my ltsp with PXe work, but they are just my command line TTY1 witch chrooted in /opt/I386...., but when my customer connect in X in TTY7, it's not chrooted i share my environement with server
| |
| 04:49 | <alkisg> BbT0n: yes, that's by design
| |
| 04:49 | So you want fat clients? or you still want to work on the server, but on a new chroot?
| |
| 04:51 | If you want to work on a new chroot, you'd have to create one, because the one LTSP creates doesn't have all the necessary programs for a user session...
| |
| 04:51 | If you want fat clients (== a big chroot with everything on it), then you'd need a very recent ltsp version
| |
| 04:51 | (ubuntu and maybe you could change it a little to work on debian as well)
| |
| 04:54 | <BbT0n> alkisg, ok nice for give your time for help a newbie than me :p
| |
| 04:55 | alkisg, i run my LTSP5 in DEbian 5.0, i want chroot my customer in /opt/.... for all client with command line and X, but X don't work :) Maybe if i use ubuntu it's more easier
| |
| 04:56 | alkisg, i want exploid ltsp because it's good idea for recycle a old computer
| |
| 04:59 | <alkisg> BbT0n: why do you want it chrooted?
| |
| 04:59 | For security?
| |
| 05:00 | <BbT0n> alkisg, because i don't want my customers share the fillesystem with server ;)
| |
| 05:00 | alkisg, yes for security
| |
| 05:00 | <alkisg> BbT0n: erm, ok. You could create a new chroot then for them
| |
| 05:01 | Make a new partition on the server
| |
| 05:01 | Install debian on it, so that you have 2 debian partitions
| |
| 05:01 | Then try the chrootdirectory on sshd_config, it might wark
| |
| 05:01 | *work
| |
| 05:02 | To be clear: you need 2 chroots for what you want to do: one for LTSP, and one for the user session.
| |
| 05:02 | I don't think anyone has tested this before.
| |
| 05:02 | <BbT0n> alkisg, thx ! I I am already looking to chrootdirectory ....
| |
| 05:03 | alkisg, I'm the first ;) i test it this night
| |
| 05:03 | alkisg, i will be back in this channel !!
| |
| 05:04 | alkisg, i say it the next time
| |
| 05:07 | alkisg, enjoy your food !!! see you ;)

| 09:13 | <starkeeper> hi, I have a probleme with the install of ltsp-cluster
| |
| 09:13 | can anyone help me ?
| |
| 09:15 | <Appiah> describing the problem would be a great start
| |
| 09:16 | <starkeeper> When i attempt to login on a client I have the message "No response from server, reboot" and in the log of lbserver I have code 400, message Bad request syntax('getkey')
| |
| 09:19 | <vbundi> hmm try running ltsp-update-sshkeys
| |
| 09:20 | <starkeeper> on the ltsp root or on the ltsp app ?
| |
| 09:20 | how do they communicate ?
| |
| 09:21 | <vbundi> on the ltsp server
| |
| 09:21 | do that, update your image and reboot
| |
| 09:29 | <starkeeper> It doesn't make any difference
| |
| 09:30 | <vbundi> ah I didn't notice that you were doing ltsp-cluster
| |
| 09:31 | sorry can't off too much more assistance.. :(
| |
| 09:31 | <starkeeper> ok, i think that the probleme is in the communication between the ltsproot and the ltspapp
| |
| 09:33 | thank you for your help, i go to post in the list

| |
| 10:00 | <alkisg> Hi sbalneav
| |
| 10:00 | About the socket question yesterday? I was looking to dup() some descriptor and then exec() /bin/sh, but it turns out that `nc` already had implemented this :)
| |
| 10:01 | So after implementing it, I realized I could use nc -e /bin/sh instead :)
| |
| 10:02 | <sbalneav> Yeah, nc's a great little util

| |
| 10:46 | <vbundi> is there a way to connect to my terminal server like the old days with tsclient XDMCP? or am I stuck using a virtual machine type terminal
| |
| 10:48 | Faithful has quit IRC | |
| 10:48 | <Gadi> SCREEN_07=xdmcp
| |
| 10:49 | <vbundi> I mean, I want to connect, for example, from my laptop to the server from an application within the OS rather than PXE boot
| |
| 10:50 | <Gadi> freenx?
| |
| 10:51 | <vbundi> ahh ok
| |
| 10:52 | <Gadi> did gdm drop xdmcp support?
| |
| 10:53 | <vbundi> I can't connect to my server using the XDMCP option with tsclient
| |
| 10:53 | but not sure if that means they 'dropped' it
| |
| 10:54 | <Gadi> vbundi: oh - well then, you may simply need to enable it
| |
| 10:54 | and then you can do things the goold old wway
| |
| 10:54 | :)
| |
| 10:54 | <vbundi> Gadi: thats kinda what I am wondering here.. it gives me some error messages rather than just ignoring it
| |
| 10:55 | <Gadi> does System->Administration->Login Window give any options for remote?

| |
| 11:03 | doesn't look like the feature is there anyway
| |
| 11:04 | but for some reason my server won't let me open something that requires superuser privileges, the gksudo window pops up, after entering my password nothing happens
| |
| 11:07 | Selveste1__ has quit IRC | |
| 11:07 | <sbalneav> Gadi: From the configuration, yes. You have to add it via the config files now.
| |
| 11:07 | there's no graphical login config for xdmcp anymore.

| 12:40 | <bladernr_> Hey all... I was here last night going nuts trying to get LTSP to work in a VM setting...
| |
| 12:41 | Turns out, my problem was that my LTSP Server VM only had one NIC which the Ubuntu installer did not like when configuring dhcpd for LTSP
| |
| 12:41 | <alkisg> You can just change dhcpd.conf if you have 1 nic
| |
| 12:41 | <vbundi> bladernr_: you just have to change your dhcpd.conf
| |
| 12:41 | <bladernr_> SO, I added a second NIC to the VM and install went well... however, afterwards, I tried booting a thin client and while it DID get an IP address, it did not PXE boot.
| |
| 12:42 | alkisg, vbundi: that's easy, but I never did find exactly WHAT I needed to change in dhcpd.conf to indicate a single nic, besides, I shouldn't have to do that anyway, the installer should be smart enough to do the config for me (IMHO)
| |
| 12:42 | johnny has left #ltsp | |
| 12:43 | <bladernr_> in any case, I added the second NIC and it was happy after that without any manual intervention afterwards... but now, as I just mentioned, the thinclient doesn't find an image once it tries to boot.
| |
| 12:43 | johnny has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:43 | <alkisg> bladernr_: the installer can't assign a static IP for your NIC when you only have 1 NIC, because it's on a "public" network, not a private one
| |
| 12:43 | <vbundi> bladernr_: so, fresh install on the VM with 2 nics, or you added the nic after the install
| |
| 12:44 | <alkisg> So it can't configure /etc/network/interfaces and dhcpd.conf for you.
| |
| 12:44 | <bladernr_> ahhh... but if said single NIC is already configured via static IP? and if it's using it's own internal network, why can't it just alias the internal IP to the nic? (just learning here, not trying to sound snarky)
| |
| 12:45 | Selveste1__ has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:45 | <bladernr_> Oh, but that was just for an update anyway, I now have learned :) that the proper way is to have two NICs from the get go, to avoid headaches and such
| |
| 12:46 | <vbundi> bladernr_: if proper == default then I suppose ;)
| |
| 12:46 | <alkisg> bladernr_: anyway what's the last message you see in the client?
| |
| 12:46 | Loading pxelinux? loading vmlinuz?
| |
| 12:47 | <bladernr_> vbundi: well, proper == default || least painful
| |
| 12:47 | <vbundi> bladernr_: your VM LTSP server is bridged ethernet to your ethX on your machine right?
| |
| 12:48 | <bladernr_> alkisg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/411153/ that's the VM Log for the thinclient machine
| |
| 12:49 | <vbundi> bladernr_: I'm guessing that your VM LAN isn't quite right for what you're trying to do
| |
| 12:50 | <bladernr_> vbundi: kinda... default VirtualBox setup, so eth0 on the Server VM is plugged into the 10.0.2 network inside VBox (NAT). eth1 is on an internal only 192.168.0 network and serving the dhcp for the LTSP services
| |
| 12:50 | <vbundi> bladernr_: can you explain how your VM NICs are configured on the LTSP server and on your Virtual thin client?
| |
| 12:50 | <bladernr_> thin client is also configured to use internal only network, no NAT, or Bridge
| |
| 12:51 | right now, it's a PXE issue I think... MAYBE...
| |
| 12:51 | highvoltage has quit IRC | |
| 12:51 | <vbundi> bladernr_: so you have your thin client configured to talk to on the 'internal only' network?
| |
| 12:51 | highvoltage has joined #ltsp | |
| 12:52 | <alkisg> bladernr_: that's a vmware client? does it support boot from lan? Because it says not supported yet...
| |
| 12:52 | <bladernr_> its not vmware, it's virtualbox
| |
| 12:52 | and it does PXE
| |
| 12:53 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/411154/ thats the error the client is showing during PXE
| |
| 12:53 | <vbundi> bladernr_: I know with VMware, it serves ip addresss to the internal lan
| |
| 12:53 | <alkisg> OK, that's more like it
| |
| 12:53 | <vbundi> bladernr_: ah
| |
| 12:53 | <alkisg> bladernr_: which version is that again?
| |
| 12:53 | <bladernr_> version of what?
| |
| 12:53 | <alkisg> 9.10?
| |
| 12:53 | Ubuntu
| |
| 12:53 | <bladernr_> 10.04
| |
| 12:54 | latest beta2 updates
| |
| 12:54 | errr... I meant latest beta2 ISO spin
| |
| 12:54 | <alkisg> grep DIRECTORY /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
| |
| 12:55 | <bladernr_> alkisg: /var/lib/tftpboot
| |
| 12:55 | <alkisg> ok, then: grep filename /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
| |
| 12:55 | <bladernr_> should be somewhere else I bet
| |
| 12:55 | <vbundi> no thats right
| |
| 12:56 | <bladernr_> -- /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 and /ltsp/i386/nbi.img
| |
| 12:56 | <alkisg> ok, then: ls /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
| |
| 12:56 | <vbundi> bladernr_: are you running 64 bit LTSP?
| |
| 12:56 | <alkisg> (that's an i386 server with i386 clients?)
| |
| 12:56 | vbundi has quit IRC | |
| 12:57 | <bladernr_> it's supposed to be... it's 64bit 10.04
| |
| 12:57 | and the client is configured as a 64bit system
| |
| 12:57 | <alkisg> bladernr_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/203954
| |
| 12:57 | You need to configure dhcpd.conf manually for 64 bit systems

| |
| 12:59 | <bladernr_> oh yeah, it is, isn't it... just realized it was opened prior to UDS-Karmic...
| |
| 12:59 | <vbundi> ah so your i386 image wasn't built or what
| |
| 13:00 | <bladernr_> ok... hrmmm... so before I start randomly hacking, I need to s/amd64/i386/g, yes?
| |
| 13:00 | <alkisg> No it's just a problem with dhcpd.conf
| |
| 13:00 | bladernr_: the opposite
| |
| 13:00 | s/i386/amd64
| |
| 13:00 | <bladernr_> woops... yeah
| |
| 13:01 | sorry, I blame the pollen and my goopy eyes... it's hard working when everything is blurry
| |
| 13:01 | :-)
| |
| 13:01 | nubae_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:01 | <vbundi> are you using 64bit clients too?
| |
| 13:02 | <bladernr_> vbundi: yes... I'm a 64bit snob like that ;-)
| |
| 13:02 | Nubae has quit IRC | |
| 13:02 | <vbundi> ok just checking ;)
| |
| 13:02 | <bladernr_> I believe I can do both, but I need to build a 32bit image first and add extra stuff to dhcpd.conf, though
| |
| 13:02 | at least that's how I understand it
| |
| 13:02 | <vbundi> correct
| |
| 13:04 | <alkisg> Either that or a pxelinux menu. In previous versions you'd also have to mess with ports and inetd.conf, but now it's done automatically.
| |
| 13:05 | <vbundi> I think that it should ask what type of clients you're going to be using when you install LTSP... I'm using a 64bit LTSP server too but I plan on running 32 on my clients... I would think that this is the more common setup
| |
| 13:05 | nubae has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:06 | <johnny> it is.. that's why fedora and gentoo's ltsp default to i386/x86 vbundi

| 13:06 | <bladernr_> that would be nice, but honestly, it would be better, IMHO, if it would just automagically configure for both if running on a 64bit OS, because you never know
| |
| 13:06 | <johnny> altho.. i imagine in about 2 years.. the default will be amd64 all around
| |
| 13:06 | bladernr_, not possible..
| |
| 13:06 | nubae_ has quit IRC | |
| 13:06 | <johnny> not with the current structure anyways..
| |
| 13:06 | we have to tell the client which image to use beforehand..
| |
| 13:06 | so it would require dhcp sections for each
| |
| 13:06 | <alkisg> With the new pxelinux it's possible
| |
| 13:07 | <johnny> ah..
| |
| 13:07 | well that would be neat
| |
| 13:07 | <alkisg> But Ubuntu's pxelinux is stack in 3 years ago...
| |
| 13:07 | <vagrantc> first, i get a bug report saying amd64 should default to i386. so i switched it to amd64... then i get a bug report saying that instlaling i386 on amd64 is unexpected behavior. so i switched it to the simplest case; install the same architecture.
| |
| 13:07 | <johnny> bladernr_, get that fixed for us please :)
| |
| 13:07 | <alkisg> ...and we have lots and lots more clients not booting because of this
| |
| 13:07 | <bladernr_> well, that's something to shoot for then... feature requests
| |
| 13:07 | <johnny> vagrantc, well.. do you have this pxelinux alkisg is talking about? :)
| |
| 13:07 | <bladernr_> heh... I can't get nothing done... I'm just a code monkey who's helping out with ISO testing
| |
| 13:07 | <johnny> you could just build both then :)
| |
| 13:07 | <vbundi> vagrantc: why can't you just get it right? ;P
| |
| 13:08 | <alkisg> vagrantc: is ubuntu using the same logic for dhpcd.conf as debian?
| |
| 13:08 | <vagrantc> i've got syslinux 3.71 on debian/stable and 3.85 on debian/testing
| |
| 13:09 | alkisg: not sure
| |
| 13:09 | <alkisg> Because while installing from the amd64 cd, dhcpd.conf has i386 paths there
| |
| 13:09 | That was bladernr_'s problem...
| |
| 13:09 | <vagrantc> right
| |
| 13:09 | that's a problem on debian, too
| |
| 13:09 | <alkisg> Ah, ok, I thought you said "i switched it to the simplest case; install the same architecture."
| |
| 13:09 | <vagrantc> alkisg: well, it installs the same architecture, but still leaves all the configuration for i386
| |
| 13:09 | <vbundi> vagrantc: the current dhcpd config makes sense if the i386 is built on install
| |
| 13:10 | <vagrantc> dhcpd is also not automatically enabled on debian
| |
| 13:10 | <alkisg> Well the configuration files should at least match the generated chroot, I believe...
| |
| 13:10 | <vbundi> so you build BOTH, default config is to boot i386 on all... if you want to specifically boot amd64, you'll have to make the changes
| |
| 13:10 | <vagrantc> so requires manual configuration no matter what
| |
| 13:11 | nubae_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:11 | <johnny> vbundi, not necessarily
| |
| 13:11 | <vbundi> maybe comments in the default configuration file to give a heads up would help
| |
| 13:11 | <johnny> if the client could tell the server what arch it is, the problem would be solved
| |
| 13:11 | via pxe
| |
| 13:11 | we'd just send it which one it was
| |
| 13:11 | nubae has quit IRC | |
| 13:11 | <vbundi> johnny: sure, but I've got 64bit capable machines that I also want to run 32bit
| |
| 13:11 | <vagrantc> building both is tricky for CD installs, as you can fit both architectures on one CD...
| |
| 13:12 | <alkisg> vbundi: well in any case you'd need to specify those manually
| |
| 13:12 | <vagrantc> we could probably use the architecture-detection code in pxelinux and just use the appropriate default, if present.
| |
| 13:12 | <vbundi> vagrantc: could script a build-ltsp-client --arch XXX somewhere? unfortunately this would break if you didn't have a network connection at install
| |
| 13:12 | <alkisg> But autodetecting amd64/i386 would be a nice feature, and the new pxelinux has some support for that
| |
| 13:13 | <vagrantc> egads. ubuntu's syslinux is older than debian/stable!
| |
| 13:13 | <alkisg> vagrantc: they have some problems in integrading it with gfxboot, and they don't have the time to get a new version
| |
| 13:14 | I've hit several occations where I had to download pxelinux from sid to boot some clients
| |
| 13:14 | They wouldn't boot with the Ubuntu one...
| |
| 13:14 | nubae_ has quit IRC | |
| 13:16 | nubae has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:16 | <vagrantc> debian-installer includes isolinux and either cpuidtest.c32 or ifcup64.c32 to detect the appropriate architecture for CDs that support multiple architectures
| |
| 13:19 | <vbundi> bladernr_: did your client end up booting now?
| |
| 13:19 | <bladernr_> vbundi: sure did. worked great too
| |
| 13:20 | <vbundi> right on
| |
| 13:20 | <bladernr_> at least for the little bit I did with it... if I ever get enough hardware to do this on bare metal, I'd like to play more with it, but that's off a ways in the future
| |
| 13:20 | Hrmmm... what architectures can you build the client images for?
| |
| 13:21 | I know i386 and amd64... any others?
| |
| 13:23 | <vagrantc> in theory, most architectures in debian are supported... in practice, i don't know that most work. :)
| |
| 13:23 | i have tested armel using qemu
| |
| 13:27 | <bladernr_> was just wondering about ... say... sparc and older mac... heh... I even have a couple old NeXT Stations I could try ;-)
| |
| 13:27 | just nothing I can spare to serve as the server at the moment
| |
| 13:27 | <vbundi> NeXT?!
| |
| 13:27 | <johnny> older macs work
| |
| 13:27 | but you have to build the chroot on the mac
| |
| 13:27 | older as in imac
| |
| 13:27 | the first generation
| |
| 13:27 | <bladernr_> vbundi: yeah... NeXT... heh
| |
| 13:28 | <vbundi> bladernr_: lucky
| |
| 13:28 | <bladernr_> imac... nah... I was thinking much older... heh... not IIGs old, but close... proformas, etc
| |
| 13:28 | vbundi: where are you?
| |
| 13:29 | ugh... telus... europe somewhere?
| |
| 13:29 | <vbundi> haha
| |
| 13:29 | Canada
| |
| 13:29 | <bladernr_> Oh... well then...
| |
| 13:30 | want them?
| |
| 13:30 | heh
| |
| 13:31 | <vbundi> naw, I'm just jokin around, hell, I'm 25.... I remember seeing NeXT stations when I when I was little thinking they were awesome because they were black computers :P
| |
| 13:32 | <bladernr_> well, they ARE awesome and not just because they are black computers... granted, I believe my blackberry has more memory, power and storage than the NeXTs do
| |
| 13:33 | <vbundi> yeah my Dad's a network admin, and I remember him saying they were awesome when they got them
| |
| 13:34 | but yeah, really I don't know much about em
| |
| 13:34 | <bladernr_> they're ... "appliances" would be the best word for them.
| |
| 13:34 | a step above thin clients perhaps... but pretty cool for what they are
| |
| 13:34 | plus.. as you said, they're black
| |
| 13:35 | and have neat keyboards
| |
| 13:35 | <vbundi> where'd you get them?
| |
| 13:40 | nubae_ has joined #ltsp | |
| 13:40 | <johnny> bladernr_, yeah right.. linux won't even boot on those
| |
| 13:40 | nubae has quit IRC | |
| 13:43 | <bladernr_> vbundi: a guy I knew in Raleigh, NC had them and gave them to me when he moved to another state... also gave me an Apple Network Server (looks like a mini-fridge, and runs AIX) and a stack of sparcs and Macs
| |
| 13:43 | <vbundi> neat
| |
| 13:56 | <bladernr_> By the way, I think I forgot, but thanks everyone for the help in getting that LTSP server working. I appreciate it!

| 15:11 | <vbundi> anyone else having problems getting to the cups admin page 'localhost:631' in lucid?
| |
| 15:11 | I have cupsd running but no cups web gui
| |
| 15:11 | <johnny> why are you using the web gui?
| |
| 15:12 | <vbundi> I've always done it that way I guess
| |
| 15:12 | <johnny> as sudo/root do netstat -ltpn | grep 631
| |
| 15:12 | it's probably not started by default anymore
| |
| 15:12 | <vbundi> on my laptop it is
| |
| 15:12 | <johnny> i don't see a need to use it for most use cases anyways..
| |
| 15:12 | same distro?
| |
| 15:12 | same version rather
| |
| 15:12 | <vbundi> yep
| |
| 15:12 | <johnny> both using lucid?
| |
| 15:12 | <vbundi> yes
| |
| 15:12 | <alkisg> vbundi: works for me
| |
| 15:12 | <johnny> you may have started it on my laptop..
| |
| 15:13 | <vbundi> netstat reveals cupsd is listening on 631
| |
| 15:13 | <johnny> ah
| |
| 15:13 | <vbundi> bound to all ips
| |
| 15:13 | <johnny> well i never use the webgui.. too ugly
| |
| 15:13 | <vbundi> lol
| |
| 15:13 | <johnny> don't have to use it often
| |
| 15:13 | the regular printer config handles most of my needs
| |
| 15:13 | <vbundi> yeah I just use it to check stuff or print test pages
| |
| 15:13 | what, you use system-config-printer?
| |
| 15:13 | <johnny> you can do it in the regular gui too tho
| |
| 15:13 | yes, it comes with fedora
| |
| 15:14 | but also ubuntu i think
| |
| 15:14 | <vbundi> yes it's there
| |
| 15:14 | imo the web gui is much nicer, but that's moot
| |
| 15:14 | <alkisg> vbundi: so what do you get with wget http://localhost:631 -O -
| |
| 15:14 | ?
| |
| 15:14 | <vbundi> sec
| |
| 15:15 | alkisg: a bunch-o-html to my terminal
| |
| 15:15 | <alkisg> vbundi: and you don't get any html if you try with your browser?
| |
| 15:15 | Which browser is that?
| |
| 15:15 | <vbundi> chromium/firefox
| |
| 15:16 | <alkisg> Hmm any proxies?
| |
| 15:16 | <vbundi> however I'm trying to view it remotely on the lan
| |
| 15:16 | <johnny> firewall?
| |
| 15:16 | <vbundi> still -- netstat shows it's bound to 0.0.0.0
| |
| 15:16 | <johnny> sounds like firewall
| |
| 15:16 | <alkisg> Ah, I think it doesn't answer to remote requests by default
| |
| 15:16 | I think it's blocked by the cups configuration itself
| |
| 15:16 | <johnny> ah.. so it binds to 0.0.0.0, but doesn't answer?
| |
| 15:16 | sounds reasonable
| |
| 15:17 | <vbundi> johnny: huh?
| |
| 15:17 | I think you guys are right though... it's not answering remotely
| |
| 15:17 | tried on my laptop that can bring it up on a local browser... I cant bring it up remotely
| |
| 15:18 | <vagrantc> might be able to use ssh port forwarding to make it appear local.
| |
| 15:18 | <johnny> or just edit the config :)
| |
| 15:18 | <vagrantc> either ssh -R or -L
| |
| 15:19 | yeah, that's an option too..
| |
| 15:19 | <alkisg> administration => allow remote
| |
| 15:19 | <vbundi> after poking in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I see that it has 'Listen localhost:631'; 'Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock'
| |
| 15:19 | <alkisg> From the local web ui
| |
| 15:19 | <vbundi> alkisg: yea I think that'll work, or maybe changing to Listen 192.168.1.0:631
| |
| 15:20 | <johnny> not sure why Listen localhost would uhmm.. make it bind to 0.0.0.0
| |
| 15:20 | somebody needs to redo the cups config file
| |
| 15:20 | <vbundi> johnny: I know right? doesn't 0.0.0.0 = all? not local?

| 18:11 | <roy_hobbs> Is there a definitive list of the utilities required in the chroot?
| |
| 18:13 | * patrice was looking for the LocalAppsSupport document from the 'LTSP for Fedora' at this link (https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/LocalAppsSupport) | |
| 18:13 | <patrice> but i get a "Not Found" web page
| |
| 18:14 | is it cause that has not been created? anyone know if that is the case or if it is a bad URL
| |
| 18:15 | * patrice is new to LTSP and was looking at how to auto launch a custom application on client from FC10 prebuilt image | |
| 18:16 | <vagrantc> roy_hobbs: there was a list of features...
| |
| 18:16 | * vagrantc rummages around | |
| 18:19 | <roy_hobbs> Well, I read that whole PDF that we were talking about last night, and I've been sifting through the */docs directories in ltsp-upstream/ltsp-trunk
| |
| 18:23 | <vagrantc> there was a page where we came up with the ltsp5 specifications on the old wiki...
| |
| 18:24 | that was more about core functionality, than specific binaries...
| |
| 18:25 | <roy_hobbs> You're not talking about this are you: 'MueKow specification page'
| |
| 18:26 | So what happened, the wiki crashed a while back and everything was lost?
| |
| 18:26 | <vagrantc> it wasn't all lost, but it wasn't all moved over, either, since much of it was content for ltsp 4.x and earlier and more misleading than helpful.
| |
| 18:27 | well, there was the link to the page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ltsp/index.php?title=Ltsp_Documentation
| |
| 18:28 | roy_hobbs: the muekow specifications was significantly older.
| |
| 18:29 | <roy_hobbs> I might just install Debian or Ubuntu in a VM, and take a look at what's going on there to get started
| |
| 18:30 | <vagrantc> basically, it needs to support the screen scripts in ltsp-trunk/client/screen.d and ltspfs...
| |
| 18:31 | roy_hobbs: to get a list of files in each of the important client-side packages: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/ltsp-client-core/filelist
| |
| 18:31 | roy_hobbs: also look at ltspfsd-core and ltspfs ... and for server-side, ltsp-server, ldm-server and ltspfs
| |
| 18:31 | <roy_hobbs> ok, thanks
| |
| 18:32 | <vagrantc> should probably drop configure-x.sh one of these days... :)
| |
| 18:32 | <roy_hobbs> do you use debian or ubuntu personally? I noticed that you've had a decent number of commits for those branches on launchpad
| |
| 18:32 | <vagrantc> i've been the primary debian maintainer/developer working on ltsp since 2006
| |
| 18:33 | maybe 2005, depending on how you look at it
| |
| 18:33 | <roy_hobbs> Should I start with the client or server, or do they both pretty much need to be done at once?
| |
| 18:33 | <vagrantc> i'll see if someone can dig up the old specifications page
| |
| 18:34 | roy_hobbs: the easiest thing i think is to just get the ltsp-server stuff building a basic chroot, and then work on building the client packages to install into the chroot
| |
| 18:34 | roy_hobbs: so arch ships binary tarballs for packages?
| |
| 18:35 | <roy_hobbs> What I want to do is get a working thinclient before i start worrying about making tidy packages
| |
| 18:35 | well, yes and no =)
| |
| 18:36 | <vagrantc> well, you can get the network booting stuff without even having any ltsp-client specific packages
| |
| 18:36 | <roy_hobbs> all core packages are precompiled, but the PKGBUILD (a simple text file that specifies how to create the package) is readily accessible to be built on anyone's system
| |
| 18:37 | and there is also a user repository which only hosts the PKGBUILDs, so stuff from there must be compiled manually
| |
| 18:37 | We do have this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=572 but it seems useless
| |
| 18:38 | <vagrantc> roy_hobbs: yeah, that's for ltsp 4.x
| |
| 18:43 | highvoltage has quit IRC | |
| 18:44 | <roy_hobbs> btw, stop me when you've had enough of me for the time being
| |
| 18:44 | <vagrantc> heh
| |
| 18:44 | <roy_hobbs> is there a script that's supposed to actually build out the dir structure of the chroot?
| |
| 18:44 | non of the build-client stuff looks like it does that
| |
| 18:45 | I've been looking around for and /init script referenced in the PDF
| |
| 18:47 | <vagrantc> roy_hobbs: debian/ubuntu both use debootstrap, which installs a base system into a chroot ... so all that stuff is handled in the packages themselves.
