hi, i am installing an ltsp server, but the client fails always and say that unkown user id. how should I add users?
10:30
I have users on my system and I installed to a new one in the chroot environment
10:32
<alkisg>
rogers: you shouldn't need to add any user to the chroot. Just use a user from the server.
10:32
Distro/version?
10:33
<rogers>
ubuntu 10.4
10:33dobber has quit IRC
10:34
<rogers>
alkisg: ubuntu 10.4
10:34
alkisg: ubuntu 10.04
10:34
<alkisg>
rogers: ok, got it, no need to repeat it
10:34
A warning about an unknown user id is issued by pulseaudio, if you're talking about that, ignore it
10:35
Other than that, what do you see when you try to login with a server user?
10:37
<rogers>
alkisg: I am trying to login, it says: "verifying password, please wait" a long pause, then "no response from server, restarting"
10:38
<alkisg>
rogers: ok, there are a number of reasons why this would go wrong.
10:38
<rogers>
alkisg: how to begin?
10:38
<alkisg>
Do you see an error in your server's /var/log/auth.log ?

10:42

rogers: try these 2 commands:
10:42
sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys && sudo ltsp-update-image
10:42
Then reboot your thin client and try to login again.
10:48
<rogers>
alkisg: thanks a lot, it works fine now! wow, it is fast! I did ltsp-update-sshkeys before, but not the other command! thanks again!

You're welcome. You need to run that every time you change your server's ip.

hey guys, i don't know what is going on - and this might be the wrong channel to ask, but I'm having trouble authenticating to the server... myself and all my users. i have Ubuntu 10.04, LTSP, Samba server and NX server running.. i'm wondering if others are experience the same issue or if I'm the only one recently. I'm not sure what is going on. I haven't touched anything regarding authentication like PAM or etc. that I'm aware of.
11:27
it seems to come and go also... like I can log in fine sometimes and sometimes i can't login at all. it's driving me nuts.
11:28
like this m orning, i worked, but this afternoon it's not working at all .. and it happens to be during a meeting.. and so i'm sweating this thing out a little.
11:29
i'm going to blame it on samba first off .. but that's pretty irrational
11:39
<Gadi>
what kind of auth? LDAP? ADS? local?
11:41poff has joined #ltsp
11:43grantk has joined #ltsp
11:43
<Kyle__>
Humm.
11:44
<grantk>
can lts.conf options be added to the database for ltsp-cluster? or is there a different method to add options in that are not available on the web interface?
11:44
<Kyle__>
Is there somethign _other_ than putting your sessions in /usr/share/xsessions neccesary to get ldm to offer the session type?
11:45
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi: local as far as i understand, i haven't done anything to change it
11:45
Gadi: eventually I'd like to go with LDAP but i'm not there yet.
11:45
<Gadi>
AndyGraybeal: is it all a single server
11:45
ie, are parts on NFS?
11:45* Kyle__ blinks.
11:45
<Kyle__>
Ooh.. wait.. I need them on the server dont' I. Nevermind.
11:45
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi: no NFS, it's all one server
11:46
<Gadi>
AndyGraybeal: check /var/log/auth.log - maybe there are clues
11:46
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi: thank you
11:47
<Gadi>
grantk: remember that control-center.py step on the control center VM? You can edit they py file you feed it and rerun it to add variables
11:47
<grantk>
sweet, thanks!
11:51
<alkisg>
Kyle__: fat clients? ldminfod is not running locally on them...

<Eghie>
hello
12:08
some people here with a LTSP server with more then 2000 user accounts on it, or similar numbers?

the firefox safe browsing function is killing my diskspace
12:12
and maybe my internet connection
12:12
<markit>
hi, is still required the long list in /etc/hosts of "IP ltspxxx" for reverse resolution (5.x ltsp)? Seems works also without
12:15
<Eghie>
markit: I am using DHCP in combination with Bind with dynamic DNS option, so for me it's working automaticly
12:16
<markit>
Eghie: I'm using dnsmasq instead. What distro and version of bind9? I thought the dynamic dns was not yet upstream (needed for samba4 as well)
12:16
<Eghie>
different distros, but ubuntu hardy for example does work
12:17
all distros I use are ubuntu
12:17
but different versions of it
12:18
lucid has bind 9.7.0
12:19
which works as well
12:19
although the rights and the rndc key need to match
12:21
<markit>
Eghie: mmm maybe samba4 requirements are far above that functionality alone, don't remember
12:21
<Eghie>
could be, I've only tried samba 4 once in early stage, but only basic functionality
12:27
<alkisg>
markit: if you're using dnsmasq both as dhcp and dns server, I think you could just use dhcp-host entries in dnsmasq.conf. E.g. dhcp-host=ltsp1,192.168.0.1. Then dnsmasq would provide the "ltsp1" hostname and properly resolve it when the client is running.
12:28
You'd still need many such entries, but I think it's cleaner than putting them to /etc/hosts, and easier than the clients sending dns updates instead.
12:28
<johnny>
hmm.. or you could put them in another file than /etc/hosts, or use /etc/ethers, or use the dhcp add script (for some of it)

Hi all, I'm running ubuntu lucid and getting connection timed out on the clients
12:45
can someone help me diagnose?
12:45

timed out where and out
12:46

could not load XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 connection timed out
12:48
is it tftp or nbd giving that error
12:50
<alkisg>
tftp
12:51
Is the ip there correct? (the ltsp server ip?)
12:51
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi:if i posted my /var/log/auth.log into a pastebin, would I be comprimising my security?
12:51
<Gadi>
probably
12:51
:)
12:51
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi: okay thank you
12:51
<Gadi>
at least scan through it once before you do
12:51
:)
12:52
<AndyGraybeal>
okay, understood.
12:53
<ramadmin>
yes the ip is correct
12:53
<alkisg>
ramadmin: is your tftp server running? sudo netstat -nap | grep :69
12:54
<ramadmin>
yep: udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:*
12:55
<alkisg>
ramadmin: erm, no in.tftpd at the end of that line?
12:55
Execute the following commands:
12:55
grep tftp /etc/inetd.conf
12:55
<ramadmin>
1357/in.tftpd
12:55
<alkisg>
ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
12:56
grep DIRECTORY /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
12:56
<ramadmin>
grep tftp /etc/inetd.conf gives me nothing
12:56
root@ramadmin-desktop:~# grep DIRECTORY /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
12:56
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot"
12:56
<alkisg>
And the ls command?
12:57
<ramadmin>
root@ramadmin-desktop:~# ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
12:57
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14776 2010-08-31 12:01 /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0

2001 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
13:00
<alkisg>
ramadmin: can you run again the ls command as a normal user and not as admin, to ensure that there are no permission issues?
13:00
<ramadmin>
should I remove the amd64.img line? I only have i386 clients but my server is 64bit
13:00
aah ok
13:01
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14776 2010-08-31 12:01 /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
13:02
<alkisg>
Looks ok. Can you try installing tftp-hpa to some pc (either a standalone client or the server itself) and then running the following?
13:02
tftp server-ip
13:02
get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
13:02
ctrl+d
13:02
<ramadmin>
ok one moment...
13:03
<alkisg>
(it's safe to install it to the server, it's no daemon...)
13:05
<ramadmin>
it shows up in ls
13:05
<alkisg>
So you can get the file from tftp?
13:06
<ramadmin>
yep
13:06
<alkisg>
grep pxelinux.0 /etc/ltsp/dhcp.conf
13:06
*dhcpd.conf
13:07
<ramadmin>
[trixbox1.localdomain ~]# grep pxelinux.0 /etc/dhcpd.conf

Gadi: i think my issue is with pam_winbind :( i have samba server running as a domain controller (but I don't have it yet working....) but we aren't logging in from windows boxes.. we're just using NX clients and LTSP terminals. but a lot of the errors from what i am seeing are when pam_winbind is mentioned.
13:08
i found this url with information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/546874
13:08
<alkisg>
ramadmin: I can't think of anything wrong other than your client boot rom. Can you try booting a client with gpxe, e.g. with a usb stick?
13:08
!gpxe
13:08
<ltspbot>
alkisg: "gpxe" :: the successor to etherboot (http://etherboot.org). To download bootable floppy, cd, usb, kernel etc images, visit http://rom-o-matic.net/
13:08
<Gadi>
even if you haven't directly touched PAM, perhaps when you installed winbind, it touched PAM and Pam didn't like how she was touched
13:09
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi: yea, inadvertently - i think when i configured Samba this all happened.
13:09
<ramadmin>
alkisg: The client was working before (I reinstalled ubuntu yesterday)
13:10
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi: i hate samba :) but there is a nothe channel for that talk
13:10
<alkisg>
ramadmin: got it. Still, gpxe will be useful, it has a "config" command that lists all the options that the client got from dhcp
13:10
<ramadmin>
could it be my tftp-hpa.conf should have the amd64.img should be removed?
13:10
<alkisg>
So if you have a usb stick handy, it's the fastest way I can think of to troubleshoot your problem.
13:11
inetd.conf? It doesn't matter at this point, it's for nbd, later on.
13:11
<ramadmin>
ok one sec....
13:11
install it on the server?
13:11
or a client?
13:12
<alkisg>
On a usb stick, and boot the client with it
13:12
Or if you have an ubuntu pc around, you can install it to its hard disk (even easier)
13:12
(or on a cd rom, or floppy...)
13:13
<ramadmin>
the client is using a gpxe floppy actually
13:13
it says something about the gpxe command line
13:13
<alkisg>
Ah, perfect. Then just press "ctrl+b", then "dhcp net0", and then "config"
13:13
<ramadmin>
ahh ok brb
13:17
damn usb keyboard is not seen by the old ibm bios (1998 pIII) gotta plug in a ps2 keyboard....

back
13:25
ok what should I read out?
13:25
the ip's are correct except "next-server"
13:26
<alkisg>
next-server == your tftp server
13:27
Then it's trying to download the pxelinux.0 from the wrong server... didn't you say above it was the correct ip?
13:27
Change next-server in your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
13:28
<ramadmin>
ok
13:28
<AndyGraybeal>
Gadi: i hope you don't mind holding my hand... if i run this command: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow libpam-runtime" ... will i need to recreate all my accounts and paswords? or will everything just work?
13:29
i don't think it should matter
13:31dlezcano has joined #ltsp
13:38
<ramadmin>
ok done I restarted dhcpd and same thing, is the root-path supposed to be /opt/ltsp/i386?
13:42
any ideas?
13:51
<alkisg>
ramadmin: so you have a correct dhcpd.conf and you're getting a wrong next-server on your client?
13:51
Can you paste your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf ?
13:51
The root path doesn't matter, it's used for nfs
13:57andrew_ubuntu has joined #ltsp

Hello all!... This is a non LTSP question, but I am hoping someone will know the quick answer. This is on Ubuntu 9.10 running LTSP. I am trying to setup SSH Pubkey authentication and it works for the root user, but none of my normal users. Any ideas?
13:59
<ramadmin>
ok
13:59
<Gadi>
check the user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

or check /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Gadi, ya I've check all those files. If I "sudo -s" to the root user, then do "ssh myserver" it works. And it also works for the normal users the other way around. (eg, if I login from to the remote server as user xxx, then ssh to my ltspserver it works).

What next-server is your client getting? The centos IP?

<Kyle__>
I'm having an issue where clients can't log in, because the image doesn't seem to know about the server's fingerprint, and it's hanging on the (yes/no) prompt that occurs the first time you ssh to a machine.
14:18
<johnny>
Kyle__, ltsp-update-sshkeys && ltsp-update-image --arch i386
14:19
you changed the ip address
14:19
<Kyle__>
johnny: Actually I didn't. And I _have_ updated the ssh keys. I can run it again though.
14:22
Alright, going through it again.
14:25
<johnny>
that's one of the main reasons it doesn't know the finger print
14:25
or perhaps you edited /etc/hosts on the client?
14:26
<Kyle__>
errr. I don't recall doing that.
14:26
Is that something that's generally touched? I hadn't edited that..
14:26
<alkisg>
Just wondering, what happens if there's an invalid /opt/ltsp/i386/root/.ssh/known_hosts file?
14:26
Does it take presedence over /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts ?
14:27
<Kyle__>
That's one thing I thought curios. No .ssh directory.
14:27
<alkisg>
The /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts is used normally (system-wide...)
14:27
<markit>
alkisg: reading your answer just now
14:27
alkisg: better populate hosts than dnsmasq.conf
14:27
<Kyle__>
Umm. Err. ssh_know_hosts is empty
14:28
<markit>
alkisg: but the strange thing is taht without both seems to work well
14:28
<alkisg>
markit: why? how are other pcs on the clients going to find your clients then?
14:28
*other pcs on your network
14:28
(it's not usually needed, but in concept, I think if you already have a dns server, why not use it?)
14:29
<markit>
alkisg: my "pc" are thin clients, and the ltsp is isolated from the other lan
14:29
so no one has to find them
14:29
and among them, they (the users) are logged on the same server
14:29
<alkisg>
Right, that's why I said it's not usually needed
14:30
<Kyle__>
OK. So I updated my ssh keys, and /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts is still empty, and there is no /opt/ltsp/i386/root/.ssh directory either. What can I do?
14:30
<alkisg>
But e.g. if you install a localapp, then it might be needed
14:30
Kyle__: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys doesn't update your /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts ?
14:31
<Kyle__>
alkisg: Correct.
14:31
No update.
14:31
<johnny>
tryd eleting it
14:31
deleting*
14:31
and run it again
14:31* Kyle__ shrugs and trys again
14:32
<alkisg>
Kyle__: or, run sudo sh -x /usr/sbin/ltsp-update-sshkeys
14:32
That provides a trace of the execution
14:33
<ramadmin>
alkisg: thanks for your help gonna reboot now and see if anything changed
14:33ramadmin has quit IRC
14:34
<alkisg>
markit: also, putting entries in dnsmasq.conf makes "ping ltsp1" fail with "host unknown" when the client is not booted, which I suppose is better than trying to ping a turned off client

^^ that should have worked, unless you have some problems with the install command?
14:36
(line 57 on the pastebin)
14:36
Try this:
14:36
sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys --export /tmp/mykeys
14:37
sudo install -m 644 /tmp/mykeys /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts

Nope.
14:38

14:38
<alkisg>
which install
14:38
What does this give you?
14:38
<Kyle__>

14:38
I don't think it's actually a problem with install, but I don't know.
14:39
<alkisg>
Well, does cp work?
14:39
sudo cp /tmp/mykeys /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
14:39
<Kyle__>
I should have had keys in /tmp/mykeys right? It was empty.
14:39
<alkisg>
Ah
14:39
OK then, there's the problem
14:39
<Kyle__>
Youhave an idea?
14:40
alkisg: You know, I just recalled.... I moved server hardware, and moved my /etc/ssh directory over.. I wonder if that's part of my problem.
14:40
<alkisg>
Let me look at the ltsp-update-sshkeys source...
14:40
Ah, could be
14:40
<Kyle__>
But then again, nothing else is upset...
14:40* Kyle__ frowns
14:41
<Kyle__>
The ssh keys all look like the have the right permissions...
14:42

Yes.

14:45
<Kyle__>
alkisg: I suppose I really could.
14:45
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
14:45
That will do the trick in ubuntu/debian

Humm. Well, dpkg-reconfrigure gamve me knew ssh keys in /etc/ssh, but ltsp-update-sshkey still didn't pick up anything new.

14:50
<ramadmin>
changed my dhcpd.conf to get rid of the duplicate next-server option and changed the pool to not conflict with other ip's
14:50
<alkisg>
Kyle__: cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub ?
14:51
<Kyle__>
Yea I got a key there.
14:51
in the key.pub that is. But err, the --export - line produced _no_ output
14:52andrew_ubuntu has quit IRC

Oooh... Wait. Could the script be getting confused because I ahve ssh-server installed in the image?
14:55
Fsck. Still nothing.
14:57
<alkisg>
Kyle__: are you using some non-standard ssh port?
14:57

nope. It's the standard ssh port. It's on a VM, but it's standard other than that.

Kyle__: is ssh running on the server?
15:01

Kyle__: also try this command: echo server $(cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub | awk '{split ($0, a, " "); print a[1]" "a[2]" "}')
15:01
<Kyle__>
Gadi: Yes it is.
15:01
<alkisg>
Do you get a key with that?
15:02
<Kyle__>
alkisg: Maybe I formatted it wrong, because it gave me ssh-rsa command not found :)
15:02
Oh duh. I left the $( arround ot.
15:02
So yes, it gives me a key.
15:07
<alkisg>
Kyle__: make a backup of /usr/sbin/ltsp-update-sshkeys, and open it with sudo gedit
15:07
Then search for the first: if [ -n "$THIS_SERVER" ]; then
15:08
Below it, add:
15:08
echo "Adding key for $ENCRYPTION:"
15:08
echo server $(cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_${ENCRYPTION}_key.pub | awk '{split ($0, a, " "); print a[1]" "a[2]" "}')
15:08
Then run sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys, and check if you have the key in your normal output
15:15
<Kyle__>
Umm. Seriously, I don't see a line like that at _all_
15:15* Kyle__ runs an update to his server...
15:15
<alkisg>
It's line 35
15:16
So you just need to put those 2 lines right after it, and before the existing line 36

Does it load pxelinux.0? Does it load the kernel?

<ramadmin>
could not load tftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0: Permission denied
16:15
<alkisg>
Then it's still a tftp issue (port 69)
16:16
If you press ctrl+b on gpxe, then run: dhcp net0, and then run config, are you getting the correct next-server now?
16:17
<ramadmin>
yep
16:18
<alkisg>
And right after that, if you run: imgfetch tftp://1.2.3.4/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0, what do you get?

Kyle__: instead of troubleshooting the old ltsp-update-sshkeys version, can you replace it with that one? :
17:20
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/annotate/head%3A/server/ltsp-update-sshkeys
17:21
Backup your existing one and replace it with the current one ^^^
17:21
<Kyle__>
OK.
17:22
alkisg: latest for revision 1732 specifically?
17:22
<alkisg>
No, use the current one, 1776
17:22

Seems happier. Waiting for my image to rebuild so I can test...

You're welcome... if you want, file a bug in launchpad in case an SRU can be applied

LTSP question: My understanding is that an LTSP thin client will not "mount" a music CD because playing a music CD is handled differently then mounting a data CD from the local file system of a thin client. Is there any workaround or fix that would allow a music CD to work naturally on a thin client?

<markit>
hi, when an updated ltsp-server is available in debian/kubuntu, how can I update my ltsp server? I mean, just installing the new package improves the situation, or I have to rebuild the clients from scratch?
18:14
<rampageai>
Hi markit, do you mean like the example here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UpdatingChroot
18:14
<markit>
rampageai: that is for updating the chroot
18:15
what if I have a new ltsp-server package available? I install with aptitude install ltsp-server, but are the improvements it contains applied to my installation automagically?
18:16
mmm "If you have upgraded the LTSP server to a new release (such as Hardy -> Intrepid), it is recommended to build a new client chroot from scratch"
18:16
also for minor updates?
18:17
oh, they mean "the pc that acts as a server" not the ltsp-server package
18:17
so my question is still open :)
18:17
<johnny>
you don't have to
18:17
most of teh time anyways
18:18
if you run into a specific bug, or want a feature, somebody might recommend it
18:18
<abeehc-_>
mm tbird 3 works flawlessly
18:18
<johnny>
but otherwise, unless you want to read the changelog for it, don't bother markit
18:19
<markit>
johnny: I see, thanks

any chance one could run module-assistant inside a thin client? /var/ is mounted ro, and if I try to run it on the server, the architectures don't match :(

With regards to getting amd64 versions of ltspfs working, I remember there's a reason just changing the casting as done in http://launchpadlibrarian.net/53756627/ltspfsd_functions.c.patch won't work. Anybody remember why?

How do you set the default session offered to users? I have multiple sessions in /usr/share/xsession, and they're all needed...but I want to specify one specific one for the default.
22:20
<johnny>
Kyle__, do you read docs? :)
22:20
!lts.conf
22:20
<ltspbot>
johnny: "lts.conf" :: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
22:20
<johnny>
it's all there pretty much
22:21
LDM_SESSION should do it
22:21
or maybe it's LDM_XSESSION
22:27
<Kyle__>
johnny: I've read them, I just can't recall all of it right now.

23:33* vagrantc marvels at kexec
23:38
<johnny>
vagrantc, ok.. insane idea
23:38
in 2 parts.. one part already exists
23:38
this involves using your phone as a workstation
23:39
1) plug your phone into a shell styled like a laptop, just mostly empty (this exists)
23:39
2) gain access to an x86 chip also in the shel
23:39
that's the insane part
23:40
so you could still game , or compile, or run other apps that aren't portable to arm
23:44* vagrantc is trying to write an initramfs-tools hook that downloads a kernel/initramfs and then runs them via kexec.
23:47
<vagrantc>
for bootloaders that don't support network boot ...
23:49
<johnny>
and also don't allow chain loading?
23:49
i wonder if you could pull gpxe.. but then there's a driver issue ..
23:49
but still. kexec is cool
