Hello. A have a question: does ltsp technology mean diskless boot via the network, or is it possible to start some ltsp client on the full-weight system?
03:18
<johnny>
the first
03:18
the 2nd is usually done with the same kind of programs ltsp uses tho

ltsp: Interesting question. What are you trying to achieve?
03:29* vagrantc would recommend ltsp to not run irc as root :P
03:31
<ltsp>
well, i'm sorry, i have confused nickname and channel name :)

i am trying to understand, how does ltsp technology work
03:41
is network boot _only_ way to login to ltsp server?
03:48
<alkisg>
With LTSP, yes, but of course you can also install vnc, rdp, nx etc
03:50
<pianolender>
OK. So the most important question is the ability of my nettop to boot over network.
03:51
<johnny>
no.. that isn't true
03:52
ah sorry alkisg says it right
03:52
pianolender, ltsp is just glue around standard unix tools that are used in many other contexts
03:53
not much is specific about ltsp other than the custom chroot

my goal is to use heavy graphical apps like browsers and maybe media players without expiriencing slowness of intel ato processor
05:24japerry has quit IRC
05:24
<alkisg>
pianolender: so, you want those apps to run on the server? then you're describing a thin client.
05:25
<pianolender>
yes, definitely
05:26
<johnny>
pianolender, really tho.. the worst speed .. is the network
05:26
atoms are faster.. especially newer ones
05:26
than the network can be
05:26
altho.. i still haven't tweaked my flow control yet

Is there somewhere in the ltsp-cluster web-interface i should be seeing my appservers?

I'm guessing that would be no.... right?

okay, so I believe that I now have a usb flash drive with gPXE on it. Anyone know what I do with it? Do I just plug it in and let it take care of itself, or will I have to make modifications to the thin client?
08:24
<alkisg>
Just plug it
08:24

thanks

Is there no packages for ubuntu 10.04 in the ltsp-cluster-team ppa?
09:06RicardoPerez has joined #ltsp
09:07
<RicardoPerez>
Hi! On question: which port number should I have in /etc/inetd.conf for nbdrootd: 2000 or 2001?
09:09
<alkisg>
RicardoPerez: the default is 2000, but if you have 2 chroots, the second one is 2001, and if you then remove the first chroot, 2001 is left behind
09:09
<RicardoPerez>
alkisg: thanks, it's a little strange. i only have one chroot and my ltsp installation on lucid puts me 2001 instead of 2000...
09:10
so i need to have "nbdport=2000" in .../pxelinux.cfg/default, right?
09:10
<alkisg>
They just need to be the same ports, it doesn't really matter if they're 2000 or 2001.
09:11
Is that Lucid?
09:11
<RicardoPerez>
alkisg: yes it is
09:11
alkisg: in fact, i'm trying to solve a more general problem
09:12
alkisg: can I explain you?
09:12
<alkisg>
Sure, either me or to the channel, probably someone will be able to help you
09:12
<RicardoPerez>
alkisg: Thanks! I have an LTSP server installed over Lucid for FAT clients
09:13
alkisg: the problem is: sometimes the clients doesn't boot correctly
09:13
alkisg: i.e.: the boot process gets into the plymouth logo, and the red & white dots still displayed, but nothing more happens
09:14
alkisg: however, if I reboot the client, then *almost always* the client boots correctly
09:14
<alkisg>
Remove "quiet splash" from pxelinux.cfg/default so that you see an error message instead of flashing dots
09:14
It's possible that you have a rogue dhcp server on your network
09:15
<RicardoPerez>
alkisg: mmmm... that's impossible, because it's a lan with only the server and the client...
09:15
<alkisg>
And no router with embedded dhcp server?
09:15
<RicardoPerez>
however, the "quiet splash" sounds good, i'll try it tomorrow
09:15
alkisg: there's a router attached to the other ethernet card of the server
09:15
(the server has 2 nics)
09:15
<alkisg>
And there's a separate ISOLATED switch that connects the server to the client?
09:16
<RicardoPerez>
alkisg: right
09:16
<alkisg>
(not a crossover cable?)
09:16
<RicardoPerez>
mmmmmm....
09:16
a crossover cable could let me to boot sometimes yes and sometimes no?
09:16
<alkisg>
I mean, you're using a switch, not just a direct connected cable, right/
09:17
<RicardoPerez>
that's right: i'm using a switch to connect the server and the client
09:17
<alkisg>
OK, then yeah, it's not a dhcp problem
09:17
<RicardoPerez>
there's no direct cable from the server and the client
09:17
<alkisg>
It could be a problem with nbdproxy, or a race condition in some upstart script etc
09:17
<RicardoPerez>
it's very strange: sometimes the client refueses to load
09:18
yes, i suspect to nbd or something similar
09:18
<alkisg>
Remove quiet splash, see the error message and we'll see later how that goes
09:18
<RicardoPerez>
because looking at the logs on the server i see the client don't connect to the nbd server when its booting hangs)
09:19
maybe i need to use "break=mount" to see if nbdproxy is running fine?
09:21
BTW, which port should nbd-proxy use: 2000 (the same as nbdrootd) or 2001?
09:24
<alkisg>
The same
09:25
<RicardoPerez>
alkisg: great, thanks
09:25
<alkisg>
IRC support is much simpler when you're on-site, so try again tomorrow when you're there... :)
09:25
<RicardoPerez>
alkisg: yes, i think so too :)
09:25
alkisg: thank you very much, we'll see tomorrow :)
09:26
<alkisg>
Good luck :)

I'm having troubles with ltsp-cluster on 10.04. When I boot the clients instead of getting the appserver as appserver they get the the rootserver as appserver
09:29RiXtEr has quit IRC
09:30
<MrMarkie>
Could this be because I run the loadbalancing-server on the rootserver?

hello everyone, I am trying to setup ubntu 10.04 64 bit ltsp cluster. When I boot a thin client the hardware info screen show the root server as the app server and then when I log in it opens a terminal rather than loading the desktop. When I force it to reboot I get a message saying error followed by this output: /usr/bin/getltscfg-cluster [OPTION] which is follow by a list of options. Does anyone have any ideas?
09:38
<MrMarkie>
I got the same issue, but sadly am all out of solutions at the moment
09:39
<rmainard>
bummer
09:41
<MrMarkie>
I'm on 10.04 32-bit so it's not a 64-bit issue

I am running it on a KVM virtual server are you running on bare metal or as a VM?
09:47
<MrMarkie>
Baremetal
09:48
<rmainard>
At least it's not that.
09:49
<MrMarkie>
I'm thinking this is related to the loadbalancer. Perhaps it doesn't identify appservers or perhaps the client on the TC-side doesn't ask the lb for an appserver
09:49
Are you running the loadbalancer on the same machine as the rootserver?
09:50Montana__ has joined #ltsp
09:50Ghidorah has joined #ltsp

no, I am running the control server, root server, and load balancer on separate virtual machines.

Hello, has anyone else had an issue with the new Firefox and Flash Plugin crashing when running as a localapp?
09:52
<MrMarkie>
rmainard: So that isn't it either then
09:53
rmainard: I run control, root and lb on one machine and appserv on another
09:56
<rmainard>
when you got to the cluster control center web page does it show boot up attempts in the log file?

where can I download the latest non distribution specific ltsp-server package?

10:35
<anivair>
clearly, I loaded my pen drive wrong.
10:35
the site how to suggests that I run "make" on the .usb file. That did nothing
10:35
so I figured maybe it was already prebuilt and just ran the dd and that had no effect that I can tell
10:36
and the thin client cpaims that it's blank
10:38
(and I type like a blind man who just got is first Dvorak keyboard)

(also just double checked the network connection. it's good. For whatever reason my DHCP service is not handing off on the first pass. If a machine tries a second time, it grabs it.
10:55
(ie: a second time for the initial dhcp grab which is just about the first thing that happens on boot. before the kernel is loaded)

well, I'll be damned. the thing just started working. is one of you doing LTSP voodoo over there?

kill -9 ltsp-voodoo
13:08
That should fix it :)
13:09
<anivair>
hehe
13:09
good thing, since I think I still messed up the flash drive. the make command is doing nothing. So either the how-to is wrong, or I'm wrong. I know me is more likely in this scenario, but you never know.
13:11
<alkisg>
Make command? For gpxe?
13:11
<anivair>
yeah. here: http://etherboot.org/wiki/removable
13:12
see "creating a bootable USB key"
13:12
<alkisg>
anivair: well, there are two ways there, the easy one and the hard one
13:12
<anivair>
heh
13:12
<alkisg>
You were supposed to use the easy one, i.e. just write the downloaded image
13:12
<anivair>
should I have skipped the make and just dropped the file onto the drive? Or is the dd command still required?
13:12
<alkisg>
No need to download source, make etc
13:13
*ONLY* a dd command is required
13:13
<anivair>
that's what I would up doing
13:13
course, now the thing's working suddenly ... though that makes me nervous. problems I don't solve can unsolve themselves

for now, though, the new thin client seems to run well

13:14

true enough
13:14

(or a live cd with gpxe added on it)

I've set up an ltsp on an ubuntu 10.10 beta. clients boot just fine bute if i try to log in the client gets message "no response from server, restarting" and no message in syslog on the server, other than from nbd_server "Desconnect request recieved" just right after startup
