| 14:47 | <Cubber> I just setup ltsp on a gentoo server and when I went to boot the client I keep getting an error when it goes to mount the NFS root. "mount: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Network is unreachable. This is on a virtualbox client for testing.
| |
| 14:48 | I can mount the nfs share on another linux PC just fine
| |
| 14:55 | poff has joined #ltsp | |
| 14:57 | <johnny> check your logs
| |
| 14:57 | also, make sure your have your network module available in the initramfs
| |
| 14:57 | that's the one major problem with gentoo ltsp support..
| |
| 14:57 | it's a gsoc project tho
| |
| 14:57 | so hopefully it's about done now
| |
| 14:58 | <Cubber> ok will check thanks
| |
| 14:59 | what logs would I check for that, since the client isnt booted yet its not sending anything to the server for logs via syslog-ng
| |
| 15:01 | <johnny> server
| |
| 15:01 | not that i know where nfs logs to.. but i'm sure it's somewhere
| |
| 15:01 | <Cubber> got it by using the intel pro MT server nic instead of pcfast in virtualbox settings for the client
| |
| 15:02 | <johnny> as i said.. network module
| |
| 15:02 | tha'ts in the ltsp instructions to add your network module
| |
| 15:02 | you have to rebuild the initramfs
| |
| 15:02 | it sucks because genkernel sucks
| |
| 15:02 | <Cubber> hmm not sure what the default root password is though from the auto client setup
| |
| 15:02 | <johnny> which is why we want to use dracut
| |
| 15:02 | there is none
| |
| 15:02 | you obviously haven't read the regular ltsp documentation
| |
| 15:02 | <Cubber> going by the gentoo docs
| |
| 15:02 | <johnny> there's a setting in lts.conf to add an open terminal
| |
| 15:03 | you still have to read the upstream docs for lts.conf and whatnot
| |
| 15:03 | <Cubber> yah I was just trying to get the server set and a client booted first before I went and tweaked it more
| |
| 15:03 | <johnny> if you want a root password you have to chroot in and set it yourself
| |
| 15:03 | otherwuse you set the SCREEN_02=shell
| |
| 15:03 | in lts.conf
| |
| 15:03 | those gentoo docs were pretty butchered last is aw
| |
| 15:03 | saw
| |
| 15:03 | nobody came and asked me how to do it right
| |
| 15:03 | <Cubber> ahh the quickstart app in gentoo said it set one but I guess I need to do further investigating.
| |
| 15:04 | <johnny> and i'm the one who wrote it :)
| |
| 15:04 | so the doc is probably pretty fail
| |
| 15:04 | <Cubber> this one http://flowledge.nl/gentoo/ltsp/
| |
| 15:04 | <johnny> never even heard of it
| |
| 15:04 | <Cubber> the regular gentoo docs dont work at all because ltsp is not in portage need to use an overlay now
| |
| 15:04 | <johnny> those docs were for ltsp 4 probably
| |
| 15:05 | <Cubber> well I got a client booted in virtualbox just with a terminal login prompt so its a start
| |
| 15:05 | <johnny> yes.. i'm the one who created all that Cubber
| |
| 15:05 | <Cubber> ahh ok
| |
| 15:05 | <johnny> i mean the ltsp5 code
| |
| 15:05 | but nobody asked me how to actually use it before going off and writing docs
| |
| 15:05 | :(
| |
| 15:05 | and i don't have gentoo anymore, (my laptop isn't fast enough and i gave away my desktop)
| |
| 15:05 | <Cubber> want me to be the first? lol
| |
| 15:05 | <johnny> so it's hard for me to know what's the best
| |
| 15:06 | well yes, i'm always looking for people to help
| |
| 15:06 | <Cubber> well the remote logging is not working atm since my /var/log/remote dir is empty
| |
| 15:06 | <johnny> there's also docs on the gentoo wiki.. that i sorta fixed.. i wonder if they stayed fixed..
| |
| 15:06 | /var/log/remote ? wtf is that :)
| |
| 15:06 | <Cubber> check out that doc on the syslong-ng part
| |
| 15:06 | so that the client logs to the server in /var/log/remote
| |
| 15:06 | <johnny> i assume that's where they tell you to use syslog-ng to log remotely :(
| |
| 15:06 | <Cubber> yes
| |
| 15:08 | <johnny> fial fail fail docs
| |
| 15:08 | :(
| |
| 15:08 | booooo
| |
| 15:08 | rjune has joined #ltsp | |
| 15:08 | <Cubber> ok so can you point me in the right direction where I can get some good information on how to get this all working correctly? Get myself booted to my x session and have sound and all that happy stuff working?
| |
| 15:08 | <johnny> there's no need for unionfs
| |
| 15:08 | * johnny is upset | |
| 15:09 | <johnny> so. you got booted to a terminal?
| |
| 15:09 | <Cubber> I did the auto client build
| |
| 15:09 | <johnny> yes, as you well should have
| |
| 15:09 | <Cubber> yah I have a terminal window up
| |
| 15:09 | <johnny> terminal window?
| |
| 15:09 | <Cubber> personally I would love to gut the kernel since its a genkernel one from that build and just takes forever to load, but thats after I get everything straightened out on the server
| |
| 15:09 | well not window its a virtualbox session that just booted to the terminal login
| |
| 15:10 | not LDM
| |
| 15:10 | <johnny> the taking forever to load isn't cuz of the kernel
| |
| 15:10 | <Cubber> all the modules
| |
| 15:10 | that load in the start
| |
| 15:10 | <johnny> it's cuz of the terrible serial module loading
| |
| 15:10 | isntead of paralleo
| |
| 15:10 | parallel
| |
| 15:10 | that's why dracut is so important
| |
| 15:11 | so.. what happens if you try to startx ?
| |
| 15:11 | <Cubber> I need to be able to login first it wont accept a blank root password
| |
| 15:11 | <johnny> knipwim, what's with all the fail docs
| |
| 15:11 | Cubber, i told you.. set it in the chroot :)
| |
| 15:11 | my guess is that your auto client installation did not complete
| |
| 15:12 | <Cubber> it said it completed sucessfully
| |
| 15:12 | <johnny> quickstart lies sometimes
| |
| 15:12 | <Cubber> need to chroot into the system on the server
| |
| 15:12 | <johnny> yes
| |
| 15:14 | <Cubber> ok in
| |
| 15:14 | <johnny> now startx
| |
| 15:14 | <Cubber> startx yeilds a LTSP.org splash screen with a username box
| |
| 15:14 | <johnny> just to see
| |
| 15:14 | ah really.. that's a suprise
| |
| 15:15 | rc-status
| |
| 15:15 | after killing that X session
| |
| 15:15 | <Cubber> ok when I try to log in I get no response from server restarting
| |
| 15:15 | <johnny> did you use an account you're not already logged in as?
| |
| 15:15 | you must use another account
| |
| 15:15 | also, you do have a desktop environment on the server that provides a /usr/share/xsessions file?
| |
| 15:15 | <Cubber> oh no I am logged in
| |
| 15:15 | as that on the server
| |
| 15:15 | <johnny> don't
| |
| 15:15 | create a new account
| |
| 15:16 | <Cubber> what if I just log out
| |
| 15:16 | <johnny> just create a new account
| |
| 15:16 | it's better that way
| |
| 15:18 | <Cubber> ok user created and added to the same groups as my normal user
| |
| 15:19 | same error no response from server... restarting
| |
| 15:19 | <johnny> well now you should have a log on the server
| |
| 15:19 | check your ssh logs first
| |
| 15:19 | <Cubber> do I need to update keys?
| |
| 15:19 | <johnny> not unless you changed your server ip
| |
| 15:19 | <Cubber> my sshd_config is strict and requires keys
| |
| 15:20 | <johnny> unstrict it for now
| |
| 15:20 | <Cubber> and I only have a key generated for my normal user and that is the only user that can log into the system via ssh
| |
| 15:20 | <johnny> i don't know if that's possible with ltsp or not
| |
| 15:20 | ah.. yes
| |
| 15:20 | <Cubber> should be
| |
| 15:20 | <johnny> you have to put a key for the client root user
| |
| 15:20 | since the connection is made by the client root
| |
| 15:20 | <Cubber> and I deny all root connections
| |
| 15:21 | <johnny> sure, don't login as root
| |
| 15:21 | disable the strict stuff and see if to works
| |
| 15:21 | <Cubber> do I need to add a user on the ltsp chroot?
| |
| 15:21 | or just the server?
| |
| 15:21 | <johnny> then you can try to make it work after
| |
| 15:21 | no
| |
| 15:21 | server only
| |
| 15:22 | <Cubber> ok different error now it logged me in but gave me a black screen with connection refused then brought me back to login
| |
| 15:23 | and if I try to log in as my user who is logged in I get a box on my screen on the server saying that anothe rwindow manager is in use and I need to close that one
| |
| 15:24 | <johnny> that's why i told you not to do it
| |
| 15:24 | <Cubber> yah had to test though
| |
| 15:24 | I just canceled the window on the other scren
| |
| 15:24 | <johnny> and even if you had gotten it.. then things like firefox would fail
| |
| 15:24 | <Cubber> gotcha
| |
| 15:25 | so on the user I created for this it says verifying password then moves on but then gets to a black scren that says connection refused
| |
| 15:25 | <johnny> connection refused, does your server logs say anything about this?
| |
| 15:25 | was it from X? or from ssh?
| |
| 15:26 | <Cubber> /var/log/messages shows ssh connecting for the user then closing
| |
| 15:26 | all within about a second
| |
| 15:26 | <johnny> well are you within a terminal on the client still?
| |
| 15:27 | <Cubber> just the startx
| |
| 15:27 | <johnny> try ssh -X youruser@server xterm
| |
| 15:28 | oh.. yeah.. get out of startx :)
| |
| 15:28 | <Cubber> Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
| |
| 15:28 | Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
| |
| 15:28 | bash: xterm: command not found
| |
| 15:29 | I have ssh X forwarding working in my strict config
| |
| 15:31 | ok I just got firefox to work with ssh -Y user@server firefox
| |
| 15:31 | had to enable x11 forwarding in the config
| |
| 15:31 | bam! e16 is on the screen!
| |
| 15:31 | in the virtualbox
| |
| 15:32 | but I think I need to read up cause I have no mouse clicking lol
| |
| 15:32 | well I have right click but left is not working
| |
| 15:34 | <johnny> did it prompt you to accept the server's key fingerprint?
| |
| 15:34 | that's an error to ldm
| |
| 15:34 | if so, then you do have to run ltsp-update-sshkeys
| |
| 15:34 | <Cubber> nope it just worked when I logged in
| |
| 15:35 | but prolly will have to do that when I go back to my strict config
| |
| 15:35 | <johnny> ok, now reboot your client
| |
| 15:35 | <Cubber> I rebooted the client and now its giving me the damn fail on nfs again
| |
| 15:35 | <johnny> what did you do to fix it last time?
| |
| 15:36 | <Cubber> selected the Intel PRO/1000 MT server nic which is set
| |
| 15:36 | <johnny> i never could get that option to stick
| |
| 15:36 | <Cubber> so my server is working correctly, this is just client config stuff I take it right?
| |
| 15:36 | <johnny> maybe they fixed vbox for that
| |
| 15:36 | maybe..
| |
| 15:37 | not 100% sure yet
| |
| 15:37 | still could be bits of both
| |
| 15:37 | you do need to make sure teh client config has all the nics you want
| |
| 15:37 | <Cubber> yah I may just rebuild the kernel manually
| |
| 15:37 | <johnny> probably bst to just compile them in
| |
| 15:37 | well.. don't do it manually, as it won't build the initramfs
| |
| 15:37 | but do you use the --menuconfig option
| |
| 15:37 | <Cubber> genkernel --install --menuconfig all
| |
| 15:37 | <johnny> yes
| |
| 15:37 | <Cubber> is what I ment
| |
| 15:38 | <johnny> cool
| |
| 15:38 | <Cubber> in the chroot
| |
| 15:38 | <johnny> yeah.. do that .. easier until we switch to dracut
| |
| 15:38 | gsoc is almost over, so hopefully it's done now
| |
| 15:38 | <Cubber> well at least I am stepping in the right direction , mostly doing this to learn right now but have plans to purchase a few thin clients once I get it working right
| |
| 15:39 | now if I want to update the client I have to do all that in the chroot right? Since the LTSP login is readonly?
| |
| 15:40 | <johnny> yes
| |
| 15:40 | ubuntu uses nbd instead of nfs
| |
| 15:40 | so for ubuntu you must ltsp-update-image
| |
| 15:41 | eventually gentoo will over nbd as well.. ocne again.. depending on dracut
| |
| 15:41 | when i get a new laptop i'll at least be able to setup ltsp for gentoo again..
| |
| 15:41 | atm 1gb ram and 5400rpm hard drive doesn't cut it for gentoo..
| |
| 15:41 | on a pentium-m 1.5ghz
| |
| 15:42 | that's one of the reasons i switched to fedora
| |
| 15:50 | <Cubber> nice
| |
| 15:54 | what is the best option to set processor family to in the kernel for a kernel that can be used by multiple devices?
| |
| 16:08 | bobby_C has quit IRC | |
| 16:20 | ThE-RiX has quit IRC | |
| 16:20 | RiXtEr has joined #ltsp | |
| 16:22 | poff has quit IRC | |
| 16:23 | poff has joined #ltsp | |
| 16:31 | <johnny> Cubber, generic
| |
| 16:32 | if you mean multiple devices that are not ppc
| |
| 16:32 | or not arm
| |
| 16:32 | they should all be x86 of some kind
| |
| 16:37 | <Cubber> genernel defaults to pentium pro
| |
| 16:37 | I just left it at that since tht is what the livecd would use
| |
| 16:38 | its building the modules now
| |
| 16:38 | when I chroot into that for maintenance from the server do I need to mount proc or dev like I would in a regular gentoo install? Or just do the chroot /opt/ltsp/x86 , env-update, source etc-profile stuff?
| |
| 16:41 | <johnny> depends on what you're maintenancing
| |
| 16:41 | probably best to stick with the first way you mentioned
| |
| 16:41 | just remember to unmount :)
| |
| 16:41 | <Cubber> yup
| |
| 16:41 | I did not do that to build the kernel just chrooted
| |
| 16:41 | seems to be ok
| |
| 16:41 | still compiling
| |
| 16:41 | <johnny> i had a couple of times where i would rm -rf /opt/ltsp/x86 without umounting and kill all my binary packages :(
| |
| 16:42 | i should include a wrapper script ltsp-enter-chroot
| |
| 16:42 | so it'll umount all the stuff if you exit cleanly
| |
| 16:42 | <Cubber> that would be spiffy
| |
| 16:42 | <johnny> i think debian/ubuntu could use the same
| |
| 16:43 | it's just that i only developed ltsp5 for gentoo so i could understand how ltsp worked
| |
| 16:43 | i don't actually have time to be the maintainer :(
| |
| 16:43 | but so far.. nobody really wants to be one
| |
| 16:43 | <Cubber> yah time is hard to come by
| |
| 16:44 | <johnny> i'll try to clear up some time to get dracut working with ltsp in a couple weeks, once all the gsoc stuff is over
| |
| 16:44 | should solve the problems most people have
| |
| 16:44 | <Cubber> so if I am getting this correctly when the user logs on via ltsp and they pull up an x session it actually stores their data in their home directory ont he server?
| |
| 16:44 | so the home dir is writable for the user?
| |
| 16:44 | <johnny> yes
| |
| 16:44 | <Cubber> and that is the only writable place correct?
| |
| 16:45 | <johnny> no.. there are some temporary writable places on the client
| |
| 16:45 | /var/run/ldm , /etc/resolv.conf, and a few other places
| |
| 16:45 | <Cubber> so if I want to add a ltsp user I just add an account on the server and backup thier /home/ directorys on the server itself not the chroot
| |
| 16:45 | <johnny> take a look in the conf.d file if you are curious
| |
| 16:45 | i use tmpfs and bind mounts.. which is why all that mess about union mount patched kernels is nonsense at that doc you showed me
| |
| 16:46 | unionfs patched kernels i mean
| |
| 16:46 | <Cubber> gotcha
| |
| 16:46 | <johnny> we'll use a better solution than tmpfs as soon as union mounts ever make it into mainline
| |
| 16:46 | both of the popular solutions have been rejected from mainline kernel acceptance
| |
| 16:46 | uniofs and aufs
| |
| 16:47 | in favor of the future union mounts
| |
| 16:47 | but yes, just add users to the server
| |
| 16:47 | <Cubber> cool
| |
| 16:47 | <johnny> if you really want the most stable ltsp setup.. you should probably use ubuntu tho btw.. :)
| |
| 16:47 | that's why i use at my store
| |
| 16:48 | <Cubber> after I get all this working right I have to get the pulseaudio configuration working correctly ont he server so my clients can have sound
| |
| 16:48 | <johnny> mostly because they were already using ubuntu, but ltsp5 was first started for ubuntu
| |
| 16:48 | you shouldn't have to do anything except on the server
| |
| 16:48 | <Cubber> yah but you don't learn nothing using ubuntu
| |
| 16:48 | <johnny> otherwise there's a bug in the build client script
| |
| 16:48 | yeah.. that's why i built ltsp :)
| |
| 16:48 | so i could learn how ubuntu's ltsp worked
| |
| 16:48 | <Cubber> yah need to get my server making sound though, gentoo and pulseaudio are a bit buggy, I bagged it a long time ago in favor of jack but since ltsp depends on it it snuck back in
| |
| 16:48 | <johnny> i took bits from fedora, debian, and ubuntu configs
| |
| 16:49 | pulseaudio was fine on gentoo last i checked
| |
| 16:49 | jack and pulseaudio are not the same.. the aren't meant for the same purposes
| |
| 16:49 | <Cubber> yah I have a recording studio
| |
| 16:49 | <johnny> please do not use jack in replacmenet for pulseaudio
| |
| 16:49 | <Cubber> that is why I use jack
| |
| 16:49 | <johnny> ah!
| |
| 16:49 | <Cubber> ardour etc
| |
| 16:49 | <johnny> yes.. that's what jack should be used for :)
| |
| 16:49 | <Cubber> booting new kernel
| |
| 16:49 | but the rest of my pcs just use alsa
| |
| 16:49 | <johnny> i've heard you can tie them toether
| |
| 16:49 | ah.. i love pulseaudio
| |
| 16:50 | screw that alsa crap :)
| |
| 16:50 | i'm over it
| |
| 16:50 | pulse is so much better
| |
| 16:50 | after they ironed the bugs out 2 years ago that is :)
| |
| 16:50 | i mean.. pulse over alsa with dmix that is
| |
| 16:50 | <Cubber> crap that did not work still getting the nfs error and I built the driver in
| |
| 16:53 | ohhhh
| |
| 16:53 | wait
| |
| 16:53 | never copied the kernel to the tftpboot
| |
| 16:53 | wondering why all the modules I stripped are still loading lol
| |
| 16:54 | can those be symlinks or do they need to be hard files?
| |
| 16:54 | tada
| |
| 16:54 | that worked
| |
| 16:55 | and it is loading much MUCH FASTER
| |
| 16:55 | damn genkernel
| |
| 16:55 | /usr/share/ltsp/ltps_config: line 115: /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_config: No such file or directory
| |
| 16:55 | make it?
| |
| 16:56 | <johnny> hmm.. that's a new one to me
| |
| 16:56 | i'm not sure what should be in there
| |
| 16:58 | <Cubber> /etc/mtab is not updatable
| |
| 16:58 | these are all boot errors on the client
| |
| 17:02 | hmm trying to get my ssh to connect with the key config but it does not wanna work. There has to be a way
| |
| 17:02 | I got my root user working so I can ssh from my linux laptop to my server as root now with a key
| |
| 17:03 | tried to add the key to the /root/.ssh/ folder on the chroot
| |
| 17:03 | figuring that would work but it still rejects the connection
| |
| 17:03 | just basic public/private key pair authentication
| |
| 17:03 | for ssh
| |
| 17:05 | <johnny> you will need to add that private key to all your users
| |
| 17:06 | <Cubber> I use the same key to all users
| |
| 17:06 | I only have the root user setup in teh chroot
| |
| 17:06 | no other users were created
| |
| 17:06 | <johnny> sure, but you need to copy the private key to each user
| |
| 17:06 | <Cubber> on teh server all users have .ssh folders with the same key files
| |
| 17:06 | <johnny> ah ok
| |
| 17:06 | sorry.. i got my keys confused
| |
| 17:07 | <Cubber> so for my server to accept an incomming ssh connection I need a private key that has a public on the server
| |
| 17:07 | and I do not use a password cause the key is the only way in
| |
| 17:09 | brb gotta go check on wife and baby
| |
| 17:09 | vmlintu has quit IRC | |
| 17:16 | <Cubber> back got about another hour to fart with this
| |
| 17:19 | hmm now I cant even get in with the default sshd config
| |
| 17:25 | got it forgot to enable x11 forwarding in the default config again
| |
| 17:27 | as for the syslog-ng stuff , my server uses syslog-ng but it looks like the client was autobuilt with something else
| |
| 17:27 | I think ultimately I just need to bag the quickstart crap and just build my own custom chroot install
| |
| 17:27 | wow firefox is fast!
| |
| 17:30 | sweet audio just works!
| |
| 17:30 | using audacious right now, pulseaudio works well on the ltsp but has my server sound bugged lol
| |
| 17:30 | <johnny> no.. don't bag it :) better to help us move to catalyst or something
| |
| 17:30 | <Cubber> ahh ok
| |
| 17:30 | well I am still gonna build a custom gentoo install I think
| |
| 17:31 | well the only difference really is the kernel right? and a few installed packages
| |
| 17:31 | which I could just unmerge and emerge the ones I want in the existing chroot to fix it
| |
| 17:31 | Eterm doesnt work through ltsp?
| |
| 17:31 | <johnny> hmm?
| |
| 17:31 | <Cubber> bah its the only terminal client I got installed
| |
| 17:32 | <johnny> i know xterm works
| |
| 17:32 | and gnome-terminal
| |
| 17:32 | <Cubber> I keep my stuff lightweight
| |
| 17:32 | <johnny> boo
| |
| 17:32 | e is dead to me
| |
| 17:32 | <Cubber> xterm will do
| |
| 17:32 | <johnny> as soon as they started building their own libraries
| |
| 17:32 | <Cubber> gnome is dead to me lol
| |
| 17:32 | <johnny> i knew it was over
| |
| 17:32 | <Cubber> I like e16
| |
| 17:32 | <johnny> fail fail fail
| |
| 17:32 | <Cubber> that is what I use
| |
| 17:32 | <johnny> e16 is too old
| |
| 17:32 | if you're gonna be all silly about this
| |
| 17:33 | use awesome
| |
| 17:33 | <Cubber> yah but I like minimal and I wrote a lot of custom scripts to do what I want my desktops to do
| |
| 17:33 | <johnny> and skip e*
| |
| 17:33 | <Cubber> I tried awsome
| |
| 17:33 | didnt like it
| |
| 17:33 | <johnny> then you failed :)
| |
| 17:33 | lua scripting is great
| |
| 17:33 | beats e*
| |
| 17:33 | thing is.. you don't get great desktop integration with either
| |
| 17:33 | <Cubber> I like my bash
| |
| 17:33 | <johnny> that's why i switched to fedora
| |
| 17:33 | bash is ok.. for cli stuff..
| |
| 17:33 | not for scripting
| |
| 17:34 | <Cubber> see I like the terminal that is why I don't really care about my desktop
| |
| 17:34 | <johnny> lua is better
| |
| 17:34 | <Cubber> it does not need to automate anything for me cause I do it all in the terminal anyway
| |
| 17:34 | <johnny> i use my terminal and web browser.. that's about all
| |
| 17:34 | but i love plugging in a device and have it automatically owrk
| |
| 17:34 | codecs getting installed if i want
| |
| 17:34 | all that stuff
| |
| 17:34 | automatically
| |
| 17:34 | computers shoul do the work for me
| |
| 17:34 | that's why they are fast
| |
| 17:34 | and i'm not :)
| |
| 17:35 | total control over a system gets boring
| |
| 17:35 | <Cubber> hehe
| |
| 17:35 | <johnny> better to build things tha are of value to people who aren't me
| |
| 17:35 | that's why i use gnome.. but spend most of my time in terminal or web browser
| |
| 17:35 | <Cubber> makes sense
| |
| 17:35 | <johnny> otherwise it's just banshee for audio
| |
| 17:35 | or gst123 on the cli
| |
| 17:35 | <Cubber> I got my shit the way I want it and simplified everything with scripts that autmate most of the stuff for me
| |
| 17:35 | <johnny> that's basically what i do
| |
| 17:35 | oh.. and gajim
| |
| 17:35 | <Cubber> so its the way I want it so I can build other shit and not fight my WM
| |
| 17:36 | <johnny> i use an xmpp server
| |
| 17:36 | and transports
| |
| 17:36 | <Cubber> ok back to trying to figure out the ssh key shit
| |
| 17:36 | <johnny> so i connect to irc, aim, xmpp, all from one place..
| |
| 17:36 | with the server doing the heavy lifting
| |
| 17:36 | <Cubber> works fine with no security
| |
| 17:36 | <johnny> well if you know enough about keys, it should work
| |
| 17:36 | if you put things in the right place
| |
| 17:36 | <Cubber> what irc client do you use? irssi here in my terminal
| |
| 17:36 | <johnny> i use gajim
| |
| 17:36 | in one window mode
| |
| 17:36 | irssi is too fail for xmpp
| |
| 17:37 | xmpp is my primary mode of communication.. irc is just for open source projects
| |
| 17:37 | <Cubber> ever user has a .ssh file with the keys that the server expects for that user
| |
| 17:37 | <johnny> so.. from the terminal, can you login with ssh?
| |
| 17:37 | to that user
| |
| 17:37 | <Cubber> yah on my laptop
| |
| 17:37 | that is how I do it
| |
| 17:37 | <johnny> no.. try it from the terminal
| |
| 17:37 | the console, not the logged in usr
| |
| 17:38 | <Cubber> from the ltsp machine?
| |
| 17:38 | <johnny> also.. if you're using e* you don't get local device integration that works very wel
| |
| 17:38 | from your client
| |
| 17:38 | the console on the client
| |
| 17:38 | <Cubber> k let me revert my ssh config
| |
| 17:38 | <johnny> so just keep using server
| |
| 17:38 | not as in.. my server ip.. but really.. the word server
| |
| 17:39 | as that's in /etc/hosts
| |
| 17:39 | <Cubber> i run dns
| |
| 17:39 | bind
| |
| 17:39 | <johnny> so .. $user@server
| |
| 17:39 | doesn't matter
| |
| 17:39 | it expects server
| |
| 17:39 | bind? hah :)
| |
| 17:39 | i used dnsmasq
| |
| 17:39 | kicks the pants of bind for local networks
| |
| 17:40 | before i got rid of all my computers
| |
| 17:40 | <Cubber> I can ssh to the server by ip fine
| |
| 17:40 | <johnny> now i just an off the shelf router rooted
| |
| 17:40 | <Cubber> oh
| |
| 17:40 | <johnny> and my laptop.. that's it :)
| |
| 17:40 | <Cubber> wait
| |
| 17:40 | wait
| |
| 17:40 | I just hit it by name and it needed me to add it to the list of known hosts
| |
| 17:40 | <johnny> i told you tho.. don't do that.. do it as said, if you want to replicate the issue :)
| |
| 17:40 | <Cubber> thats prolly it
| |
| 17:40 | <johnny> dude.. that's what i'm saying
| |
| 17:40 | <Cubber> so the server name is meatwad.purpletoad
| |
| 17:40 | <johnny> i said that before as well
| |
| 17:41 | no!
| |
| 17:41 | <Cubber> that is how I had to do it
| |
| 17:41 | <johnny> please do what i said
| |
| 17:41 | if you get a prompt when doing ssh YOURUSER@server from the console
| |
| 17:41 | <Cubber> so the word server not my servers dns name
| |
| 17:41 | <johnny> then you need to run ltsp-update-sshkeys afterall
| |
| 17:41 | yes..
| |
| 17:41 | <Cubber> could not resolve hostname server
| |
| 17:41 | <johnny> cat /etc/hosts
| |
| 17:42 | <Cubber> nm
| |
| 17:42 | I was sshd into my first session and didnt exit
| |
| 17:42 | if I just do ssh server as root it works
| |
| 17:42 | ssh user@server works as well
| |
| 17:42 | poff has quit IRC | |
| 17:42 | <johnny> ok
| |
| 17:42 | <Cubber> the user I use to log in
| |
| 17:42 | <johnny> no prompt?
| |
| 17:42 | <Cubber> so the keys are working
| |
| 17:42 | no
| |
| 17:42 | <johnny> ok..
| |
| 17:43 | so.. now it's just the ldm login that doesn't work?
| |
| 17:43 | <Cubber> just on the one I did the actual name for
| |
| 17:43 | correct
| |
| 17:43 | <johnny> work with keys i mean
| |
| 17:43 | <Cubber> correct
| |
| 17:43 | <johnny> hmm.. we're gonna need an ldm expert here
| |
| 17:43 | sunday is one of the worst days for this channel
| |
| 17:43 | <Cubber> I only got 15 mins I can try again another night
| |
| 17:44 | at least I know it is working just need to get around this issue
| |
| 17:44 | <johnny> usually it's only activee during (estimated) 0600 GMT - 1800 GMT monday - friday
| |
| 17:44 | otherwse you only run into a few people
| |
| 17:44 | like myself
| |
| 17:44 | so, if you can, come bakc tomorow
| |
| 17:44 | and i'll point you who to talk to
| |
| 17:44 | <Cubber> so is it safe to say in terms of ltsp my server is configured correctly, however if I want to user stricter ssh rules I need to make some changes
| |
| 17:44 | <johnny> maybe ..
| |
| 17:45 | maybe i did something wrong :)
| |
| 17:45 | but since i don't have a box to test with, it's hard to tell
| |
| 17:45 | <Cubber> I prolly wont be around tommorow is there a mailing list I can join?
| |
| 17:45 | <johnny> thus i'd rather ask one of the people who acutally develop on it or work with it more frequently
| |
| 17:45 | <Cubber> would prolly make this easier
| |
| 17:45 | <johnny> sure
| |
| 17:45 | !ltsp-discuss
| |
| 17:45 | <ltspbot> johnny: "ltsp-discuss" :: at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltsp-discuss
| |
| 17:45 | <Cubber> until I can get back on
| |
| 17:45 | <johnny> keep your question generic
| |
| 17:45 | just ask, is it possible to use ldm with keys, and if so, what options do i have to set
| |
| 17:46 | Cubber, i'd appreciate it if you wanted to get more involved.. so think about it :)
| |
| 17:46 | especially in integrating dracut and dropping genkernel initrd
| |
| 17:47 | that would be the bestest
| |
| 17:47 | <Cubber> johnny I do this project really interests me as a programmer and IT consultant
| |
| 17:47 | and I only use gentoo as an OS
| |
| 17:47 | I subscribed to the list
| |
| 17:48 | do I just send an email to ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net to post?
| |
| 17:48 | I will just start a thread with the sshd and LDM question

| |
| 17:52 | its a ubuntu lucid lynx ltsp
| |
| 18:09 | <Cubber> johnny ssh keys are working now
| |
| 18:09 | johnny no idea what happend but it just started working. Maybe because i restarted the virtualbox application rather than just the virtual machine
| |
| 18:09 | johnny that is the only difference between what I have been trying and what made it work
| |
| 18:11 | <johnny> or magic
| |
| 18:11 | <Cubber> yes magic
| |
| 18:11 | ok I gotta go thanks for the help tonight and I will pop in the next night I have free
