| 01:38 | <fossala> Can anyone help me setup nvidia driver for ubuntu 10.04lts?
| |
| 01:39 | Gnoze5 (~Gnoze5@41.58.35.1) joined #ltsp. | |
| 01:40 | <fossala> I've done "chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install nvidia-current" and then made an xorg file for the client and called it in lts.conf with X_CONF=/etc/X11/xorg.conf.dolphin.
| |
| 01:40 | <alkisg> Is that xorg file in the chroot? Or on the server?
| |
| 01:40 | <fossala> The xorg.conf is placed in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg.conf
| |
| 01:41 | <alkisg> OK, sit on the client. Open gnome-terminal. Run: ltsp-localapps xterm
| |
| 01:41 | Did an xterm open?
| |
| 01:41 | (btw I assume you mean /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg.conf.dolphin, right?)
| |
| 01:42 | <fossala> yes and yes
| |
| 01:42 | <alkisg> Now run: getltscfg -a
| |
| 01:42 | Put the output to pstebin
| |
| 01:42 | (from now on run everything inside xterm, not inside gnome-terminal)
| |
| 01:44 | <fossala> pastebin.com/TH7vj8Ny
| |
| 01:45 | <alkisg> Now on xterm again, type: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dolpin, and put that to pastebin too
| |
| 01:45 | <fossala> When I try and run nvidia-setting it tells me I'm not using the nvidia driver.
| |
| 01:46 | <alkisg> To see if you're using the driver, on xterm again, run: lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA
| |
| 01:46 | Don't use nvidia-settings, as this runs on the server.
| |
| 01:47 | <fossala> I cannot get xorg.conf from the localapps xterm.
| |
| 01:47 | <alkisg> Then it's not in the image. Did you run ltsp-update-image?
| |
| 01:47 | <fossala> yup
| |
| 01:48 | I will do it again I may of just done it after the install and not the xorg file.
| |
| 01:49 | <alkisg> If you see it on the server on /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg.conf.dolphin but not on the xterm on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dolphin, then yes, run ltsp-update-image again and reboot the client
| |
| 01:51 | Btw if you're using X_CONF, you don't need XSERVER

| |
| 01:55 | I've just noticed devices 2 times so I have sorted that and rebuilt the image.
| |
| 01:56 | <alkisg> So now you have xorg.conf there on the local xterm, and you rebooted the client, and it's still not working?
| |
| 01:57 | <fossala> Yeah but when I rebooted I saw a messege comming up (on shutdown) saying it cannot see the xorg.conf.dolphin
| |
| 01:58 | <alkisg> Check for typos
| |
| 01:58 | <fossala> Yup miss splet .conf sorry.

| 02:02 | <alkisg> Are you sure this is the correct driver for your card? Maybe you need an older one?
| |
| 02:02 | <fossala> Yes, I used the same card in xubuntu 11.04.
| |
| 02:03 | Sorry it looks like I may need the 185.
| |
| 02:04 | I hate nvidia cards.
| |
| 02:11 | Still not working
| |
| 02:12 | <alkisg> Check xorg.0.log on the client

| 04:47 | <alkisg> sunscreen: (1) I haven't read any links that say that rdesktop is insecure, and (2) running rdesktop as an applet wouldn't have any difference at all, security-wise
| |
| 04:49 | mikkel (~mikkel@80-71-132-15.u.parknet.dk) joined #ltsp. | |
| 04:50 | <sunscreen> well it more secure in the sense of it will be not allowing any external access to the terminal server
| |
| 04:50 | except via authenticated web pages
| |
| 04:51 | "free tools exist in assisting hackers to break into remote desktop"
| |
| 04:52 | http://www.mobydisk.com/techres/securing_remote_desktop.html
| |
| 04:52 | they probably mean a cracker jack'er
| |
| 04:52 | <alkisg> sunscreen: erm, sorry but those don't make sense
| |
| 04:52 | If you're concerned about the *server* security, why change the client?
| |
| 04:53 | Also, the rdesktop applet would be less secure, as the password would have to travel from the client, to the server (php), and then back to the client (rdesktop applet)
| |
| 04:53 | <sunscreen> by the the travels over 192.168x
| |
| 04:53 | <alkisg> But other than that password travelling, it would make no difference in security
| |
| 04:53 | So it wouldn't make it any *more* secure in any way. The same ports would be used, the same data would be sent.
| |
| 04:54 | <sunscreen> the inside world .. its a internal virtualized xp terminal services, linux apache is bound to be more secure then xp's terminal server
| |
| 04:55 | <alkisg> You'd need to authenticate against XP anyway
| |
| 04:55 | So you're just adding a security risk, without removing anything
| |
| 04:55 | <sunscreen> yeah true they will have to login with the normal credentials again
| |
| 04:56 | and will be transmitted over the inet i see what your saying
| |
| 04:56 | but then you could do it over https
| |
| 04:56 | <alkisg> So anyway imho that setup you're describing doesn't have any benefit at all - of course you're the one implementing it, I'm just saying my opinion
| |
| 04:56 | How would you make rdesktop authenticate against XP over https?
| |
| 04:56 | If you can do that, you can *again* skip the applet
| |
| 04:57 | The applet doesn't offer anything, security-wise
| |
| 04:57 | <sunscreen> you wont but when you submit your passwords you know its encrypted
| |
| 04:57 | to the java applet
| |
| 04:57 | <alkisg> Do you know of any method to make rdesktop, applet or not, authenticate against XP over https?
| |
| 04:57 | I don't think so
| |
| 04:57 | But what I'm saying is, if someone did it, it would work both in the applet version and in the non-applet version
| |
| 04:58 | The applet part gives you nothing
| |
| 04:58 | It doesn't offer any new networking abilities to rdesktop

| 04:59 | <sunscreen> alkisg, that gui bug of windows's remote desktop dialogs is mildly humerious
| |
| 05:00 | <alkisg> The single benefits of applets, are "client doesn't need to install a program". But in this case you install the browser and introduce a big security risk without gaining anything
| |
| 05:00 | I don't know which bug you're refering to
| |
| 05:00 | <sunscreen> the one where administrator does not show up as an allowed person to login via rdp
| |
| 05:01 | Gnoze5 (~Gnoze5@41.58.73.163) left irc: Ping timeout: 240 seconds | |
| 05:05 | <sunscreen> alkisg, I am just looking at it like, the less exposed windows xp is to the outside world surely the better if we can put something between it and the inet for access .. it cant be all wrong.. yes they will have to login once to the php auth pages (passwords transmitted on inet ) and once to the rdesktop applet (again windows passwds travel over the inet) .. I am sure you can give the embedded html default parameters .. too who knows you might
| |
| 05:05 | even be able to auto login and or populate the applets host/user/passwd fields
| |
| 05:05 | * sunscreen fiddling with nxclient | |
| 05:07 | <sunscreen> and this all only for mobile/remote use alkisg
| |
| 05:07 | <alkisg> sunscreen: if you want more protection than the standard rdp authentication, use a vpn
| |
| 05:07 | <sunscreen> well yea true just give the vpn connection back to the office
| |
| 05:07 | hehehe
| |
| 05:07 | <alkisg> Anyway, all that isn't ltsp related. bb :)

| 05:12 | <andygraybeal> soon xp won't have updates either
| |
| 05:12 | sunscreen, but i'm sure you already know that
| |
| 05:12 | <sunscreen> they said that when they release sp3 did they
| |
| 05:13 | heh i was semi relieved
| |
| 05:13 | they wont be able to steel or bork any more features
| |
| 05:15 | it just breaks my kinda of perfect world.. there network has nothing needed for ports to be opened and as i said to alkisg that i would rather open up Apache/https then open directly to there very vulnerable m$ RDP server
| |
| 05:21 | but this race is really defined as: hamchi/ipsec/lt2p vpn tunnel vs https apache applet vs m$ terminal service direct .. *and the only decent applet i have came accross is NX* but yeah that's end of my ot ramblings

| 05:45 | <prod___> Hi all, is this a ltsp discussion/help channel?
| |
| 05:46 | <sunscreen> yes prod___
| |
| 05:49 | <prod___> brilliant, as i am having a newbs problem. I have ltsp-server up and running and it works great, im very pleased. My only problem is that i have only got amd64 client set up. this is not great for my various laptops that are around the house. I am using "sudo ltsp-build-client --mirror file:///home/prod/ubuntu-i386" but am getting error "NOTE: Root directory /opt/ltsp/amd64 already exists, this will lead to problems, please
| |
| 05:49 | remove it before trying again. Exiting." Is this normal and can i get i386 client installed?
| |
| 05:49 | <sunscreen> ah
| |
| 05:49 | i got caught out by this my self
| |
| 05:50 | 1) when you ltsp-chroot you being chrooted in to the amd64 ltsp at /opt/ltsp/am64
| |
| 05:51 | 2) you need to: lts-update-image -a i386
| |
| 05:52 | then setup /srv/tftp/ltsp/i386 and amd64 respectively
| |
| 05:52 | <knipwim> doesnt ubuntu have an ltsp-build-client.conf in which to setup the ARCH for the install?
| |
| 05:54 | <sunscreen> i never saw it in ubuntu
| |
| 05:54 | er
| |
| 05:54 | i never saw it in Debian
| |
| 05:54 | <prod___> sunscreen: when running point 2. "Error: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 doesn't exist." I am asuming i need to run my first command with a destination folder?
| |
| 05:55 | <sunscreen> ab you might need to edit the file knipwim mentions and then ltps-build-client again
| |
| 05:56 | <knipwim> i was just wondering, cause gentoo has that option
| |
| 05:56 | not sure about ubuntu though
| |
| 05:58 | the options in man ltsp-build-client are supposed to be distro generic
| |
| 05:59 | and i see an --arch option
| |
| 05:59 | <sunscreen> then pass it i386
| |
| 05:59 | ;)
| |
| 05:59 | <prod___> ok, so i can add arg --arch i386?
| |
| 06:00 | <sunscreen> yep i guess when i pulled my setup in .. it automatically did ltsp-build-client with both amd64 and i386 i did no have to do that step again for i386
| |
| 06:02 | <prod___> thats it!! I am now building my i386 client. Thank you so much
| |
| 06:05 | <knipwim> prod___:you use ltsp in your home setup?
| |
| 06:05 | and also for video playback?
| |
| 06:06 | <prod___> yes. I have a very powerful server/router. Yes i have tested video playback and only seem to be having problems with mp$ files
| |
| 06:06 | mp4*
| |
| 06:07 | <sunscreen> LDM_DIRECTX=true ?
| |
| 06:07 | <prod___> sunscreen: Go easy on me :) as i said im very new to thinclients
| |
| 06:08 | where would i specify this parameter?
| |
| 06:08 | <sunscreen> /opt/ltsp/${arch}/etc/lts.conf
| |
| 06:09 | <prod___> are you suggesting i use this param or would you like to know my lts.conf?
| |
| 06:09 | <sunscreen> add LDM_DIRECTX = true too it
| |
| 06:09 | under [default]
| |
| 06:10 | <prod___> thank you very much sunscreen, your a gent :)
| |
| 06:11 | <sunscreen> no worries these chaps in here and google taught me all i know :)
| |
| 06:13 | prod___, that turns off the encryption but is aparently 10x faster
| |
| 06:13 | <prod___> thats brilliant, encryption is useless in my enviroment so this should work wunders
| |
| 06:14 | <knipwim> prod___: what kind of thin client are you using?
| |
| 06:16 | <prod___> Various shapes and sizes. Laptops, desktops, workstations. ranging from glorifyed abacus's to fast workstations. But its more of a backup for the more powerful machines
| |
| 06:17 | My main thinclient that this was intended for is a acer one.
| |
| 06:17 | As i can sit in the garden and do my work :)
| |
| 06:19 | <fossala> I was wondering in a house is there any reason for logging in over ssh (LDM_DIRECTX=false)?
| |
| 06:19 | I also use the server as a torrent box.
| |
| 06:20 | <sunscreen> unless you got mr hacker coming round connecting to the switch directly packing a copy of etherrape or some thing then no
| |
| 06:21 | <fossala> Ahh ok.
| |
| 06:27 | <sunscreen> prod___, btw every time you change the clients root fs you need to ltsp-update-image if you are using nbd .. if your using nfs your sweet
| |
| 06:27 | <prod___> next stop, Diskless booting for the workstations :)
| |
| 06:27 | <sunscreen> no need
| |
| 06:27 | <prod___> How come?
| |
| 06:28 | <sunscreen> the changes to the fs wont come through to the client other wise
| |
| 06:29 | <prod___> oh yes i understand that. The config file states the changes inlts.conf
| |
| 06:30 | <sunscreen> k
| |
| 06:31 | <prod___> btw i am on ubuntu. I should have stated that earlier
| |
| 06:34 | <fossala> prod___, use /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/$ARCH/lts.conf so you don't need to update the image each time you modify lts.conf
| |
| 06:34 | <prod___> hehe i was just about to, the config file in ubuntu is very informative
| |
| 06:34 | <fossala> Yup.
| |
| 06:35 | <prod___> the file is ment to be empty as default right? :D
| |
| 06:35 | <sunscreen> i dont have that file
| |
| 06:35 | <fossala> I had to create the file.
| |
| 06:36 | <prod___> ye its a new file
| |
| 06:36 | <sunscreen> ah i did not know you could do that
| |
| 06:36 | <fossala> Is says in the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf config.
| |
| 06:37 | markit (~marco@2.192.30.1) joined #ltsp. | |
| 06:38 | <prod___> I had to use root permissions to edit make the file. I am curios as to whether i am now going to have permission problems getting the file off tftp
| |
| 06:39 | <fossala> I didn't. But if you do chmod it.
| |
| 06:39 | <prod___> off to test one of the desktops. Will report back shortly. Thanx for all the help! most appreciated
| |
| 06:39 | <sunscreen> mine just states that its the default file ltsp5 and things like sound and local device support are auto enabled if the packages are installed for them
| |
| 06:39 | <fossala> sunscreen: what os?
| |
| 06:40 | <sunscreen> `debua
| |
| 06:40 | debian
| |
| 06:40 | sorry dog attacking the Velcro strips on my trainers ;
| |
| 06:40 | <fossala> Debian use's nfs by default doesn't it?
| |
| 06:40 | If so then you don't need to redo the image as far as I could tell.
| |
| 06:41 | hence no need for the other file in /var/lib/....
| |
| 06:41 | <sunscreen> yeah nfs is how it came down for me .. but on the net install of debian it used nbd

| |
| 06:45 | <prod___> Strange, when running an mp4 on a client it locks/slows drmatically and even makes my server very slow

| 06:50 | <sunscreen> prod___, gig ethernet?
| |
| 06:51 | <prod___> sunscreen: Yes I have 2 bonded ethernet 1Gb
| |
| 06:51 | Maybe my bonding has a problem rather than ltsp.
| |
| 06:51 | <sunscreen> and all your switch gear is gigbbit all down the line
| |
| 06:51 | ?
| |
| 06:52 | <prod___> ye i have an enterprise grade switch linking all my desktops and workstations
| |
| 06:52 | <sunscreen> kk
| |
| 06:52 | sounds slightly odd .. what sort of latency is ping reporting
| |
| 06:53 | <prod___> .2 ms

| 06:53 | LoveStor- (Storm@217.18.70.231) joined #ltsp. | |
| 06:54 | <sunscreen> I am wondering if the server is crunching the cpu to the point of slowing network throughput then
| |
| 06:54 | <fossala> How fast is the cpu?
| |
| 06:54 | <prod___> im gonna change the tftpboot dir to 777 and see cpu util.
| |
| 06:54 | 1366 i7 2.66
| |
| 06:55 | <fossala> Isn't chmoding tftpboot to 777 abit unsafe>#
| |
| 06:55 | ?**
| |
| 06:56 | <prod___> Possibly. But just referring to other guides
| |
| 06:56 | <fossala> It would mean anyone with access to the system could edit the files.
| |
| 06:57 | <sunscreen> could try and launch it on 1/2 cpus only
| |
| 06:57 | cpu cores even
| |
| 06:57 | <prod___> If i was forced down this path then some firewall rules could help out there
| |
| 06:57 | I live in a rural part of wales UK. Im not that worried about security
| |
| 06:57 | mostly farmers around me :D
| |
| 06:59 | <fossala> prod___, I'm in Cornwall so pretty much the same.
| |
| 06:59 | <prod___> hehe

| 07:00 | <sunscreen> prod___, another thing that dramatically speeds up is not using 32bits but that might be an un acceptable concession when wanting to watch mp4's :)
| |
| 07:00 | <prod___> :)
| |
| 07:00 | I would like to have the 64bit machines running 64bit. Makes me feel happier inside :)
| |
| 07:01 | <fossala> I was thinking earlier today I have a x64 server and my clients can be x64 but only have 512mb ram (T5730). Should I use 64 or 32 for the thin clients?
| |
| 07:01 | <prod___> If im honest Im not gonna waste much time on it. Id rather make a perl script that will auto convert all my mp4 to less hdd hogging formats :0
| |
| 07:01 | <sunscreen> no interms of the display bit per pixel depth
| |
| 07:01 | not the arch
| |
| 07:02 | 16.7 million vs 32 million
| |
| 07:04 | well now we know .. hd over ltsp == get fiber
| |
| 07:04 | :D
| |
| 07:04 | + v.fast cpu
| |
| 07:07 | <fossala> Still, would there be any benifit of running the clients 32/64?
| |
| 07:07 | <prod___> Im not sure if i am right in saying that 64bit uses slightly more memory?
| |
| 07:07 | <fossala> prod___, Yeah it does.
| |
| 07:08 | <sunscreen> i is able to address more memory as i understand it .. not a great feature for a thin client with next to none ;)
| |
| 07:08 | <fossala> But I'm not using localapps.
| |
| 07:08 | <prod___> but i would also also say that performance is more server/lan dependant
| |
| 07:08 | <sunscreen> but yeah your kernel is more specific to the hardware
| |
| 07:08 | <fossala> 64bit binarys run slight quicker.
| |
| 07:09 | <prod___> hehe I love bringing up system monitor on my netbook and it says i have 8 i7 cores :D
| |
| 07:10 | <sunscreen> harhar
| |
| 07:10 | <fossala> My t5730 thin client say, 2x duo opteron with 16gb ram :D
| |
| 07:10 | | |
| 07:11 | <prod___> Nice price :)
| |
| 07:12 | fossala: I was looking at some amazing 2u servers on ebay yesterday.
| |
| 07:12 | <sunscreen> well done fossala :D
| |
| 07:13 | <prod___> similar to your setup for just 130GBP. Will be buyin 1 or 2 i think
| |
| 07:13 | <fossala> | |
| 07:14 | <sunscreen> my server is the punest of all :D
| |
| 07:14 | <prod___> with 8GB ram and 6x scsi
| |
| 07:14 | <sunscreen> 4GB of ram quad core athlon 2 hohoho
| |
| 07:14 | <prod___> hehe
| |
| 07:15 | <fossala> I was running a 2xXeon 2.8ghz with 2gb ram. But it drained electric so good excuse for an upgrade:D
| |
| 07:15 | <prod___> same results with mp4 on my acer one 100mbit lan 32bit client

| |
| 07:16 | damn this lag is terrible
| |
| 07:16 | <sunscreen> would be epic if the devs could make generic client kernels for each specific cpu.. i7-generic/ K8-generic etc
| |
| 07:16 | generic but just not in the cpu department
| |
| 07:18 | <knipwim> sunscreen: isn't there a "kernel-sharing" website somewhere?
| |
| 07:20 | <sunscreen> never seen it
| |
| 07:21 | <knipwim> or at least share the configs
| |
| 07:23 | <sunscreen> what graphics cards you guys rocking
| |
| 07:23 | <prod___> I think i have the problem. my ram is only 12% utilised but i have 800MB in swap
| |
| 07:23 | <sunscreen> just reading how the higher end cards actually support hdmi spec color depth
| |
| 07:23 | 251.5 trillion color rofl

| 07:41 | <sunscreen> also
| |
| 07:42 | vlc 1.1.10 is out
| |
| 07:45 | <prod___> this is funny, when i launch chrome on a thin client it loads on the server
| |
| 07:46 | <sunscreen> thats exactly what its meant to do
| |
| 07:46 | <TheMatrix3000_> install chrome as a local app
| |
| 07:46 | then it wont
| |
| 07:46 | <sunscreen> to launch any thing on client you can use ltsp-localapps path/to/app
| |
| 07:46 | <prod___> I mean the UI loads on the server but not on the client
| |
| 07:46 | <sunscreen> o
| |
| 07:46 | <prod___> i see
| |
| 07:48 | <sunscreen> that is a bit weird...i had the same thing with rdesktop/m$ terminal server and chrome, installed it under and it showed up for every one but when you tried to run it no ui showed
| |
| 07:48 | <prod___> firefox works correctly but not chrome
| |
| 07:48 | <sunscreen> untill i installed it for each user
| |
| 07:48 | then it worked
| |
| 07:48 | weirdy
| |
| 07:49 | <prod___> thats good news then, i dont mind i bit of potching to get things smooth :)
| |
| 07:51 | ok totem runs briliantly
| |
| 07:51 | hasnt even touched my server resources
| |
| 07:52 | I think understanding the ground basics for this is a little more than i originally thought
| |
| 07:53 | If i understand correctly you can utilise both server and client resources as u please?

| 12:33 | <viggy_prabhu> hi friends, I am trying to make my ubuntu machine as ltsp server
| |
| 12:33 | I have run "ltsp-build-client"
| |
| 12:34 | and also started my dhcp server
| |
| 12:34 | however I am not able to understand why my client is not able to boot through ltsp
| |
| 12:34 | can anyone help me debug it
| |
| 12:34 | ?
| |
| 12:34 | <Gnoze5> Hello friend
| |
| 12:35 | have you configured your client to boot from pxe?
| |
| 12:35 | <viggy_prabhu> when I boot, I get a option to boot from network
| |
| 12:35 | I selected that
| |
| 12:35 | that should be enough right?
| |
| 12:35 | <Gnoze5> does it get an ip?
| |
| 12:35 | <viggy_prabhu> not sure how to check that
| |
| 12:36 | <Gnoze5> what happens when you boot your client from the network?
| |
| 12:36 | <viggy_prabhu> it tries to get to boot from it but after sometimes tries to boot for Harddisk which I have removed so throws an error saying not able to find bios
| |
| 12:37 | i guess, some error in my server
| |
| 12:37 | how do I check whether the service for ltsp is running or not
| |
| 12:37 | <Gnoze5> are you sure dhcp is running?
| |
| 12:37 | <viggy_prabhu> when I do "ps -ef | grep ltsp" I get only one process which is "isc-dhcp-server"
| |
| 12:38 | thats the dhcp server
| |
| 12:38 | shouldnt there be any other process for ltsp?
| |
| 12:38 | <Gnoze5> did you configure dhcp?
| |
| 12:38 | <viggy_prabhu> no I didnt configure, using the default one
| |
| 12:39 | I just started it by running "/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start"
| |
| 12:40 | /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf is the default one
| |
| 12:40 | didnt do any change in it
| |
| 12:40 | one more thing is my server is 64 bit but my client is 32 bit
| |
| 12:41 | thats why while running ltsp-build-client, i used "--arch i386" as suggested in wiki page
| |
| 12:43 | Looks like my PXE boot from LAN was disabled in BIOS
| |
| 12:43 | I have just enabled it and booted the client
| |
| 12:43 | <Gnoze5> and?
| |
| 12:44 | <viggy_prabhu> keeping my fingers crossed :)
| |
| 12:44 | <Gnoze5> btw you might have to change lts.conf to boot from the i386
| |
| 12:44 | <viggy_prabhu> what exactly should I change in it
| |
| 12:44 | ?
| |
| 12:45 | and where is that file?
| |
| 12:46 | <Gnoze5> run ltsp-info
| |
| 12:47 | <viggy_prabhu> "found image: /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img" is the last line
| |
| 12:48 | do you want the full output?
| |
| 12:48 | <Gnoze5> i didnt mean lts.conf
| |
| 12:49 | <viggy_prabhu> Gnoze5, I didnt get you?
| |
| 12:50 | "found: /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf" was the second last line
| |
| 12:50 | <Gnoze5> its in the dhcp conf that you specify what image is to be booted
| |
| 12:51 | <viggy_prabhu> ok, I dont find i386.img mentioned in my dhcpd.conf file
| |
| 12:51 | <Gnoze5> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/Troubleshooting/TFTP
| |
| 12:52 | theres a section on a default dhcpd config
| |
| 12:53 | <viggy_prabhu> ya so what I could understand was, that I need to change the filename in else block to "/opt/ltsp/images/i386.img"
| |
| 12:53 | right?
| |
| 12:54 | <Gnoze5> whats in there currently?
| |
| 12:54 | use pastie
| |
| 12:56 | <viggy_prabhu> http://www.pastie.org/2088595
| |
| 12:56 | <Gnoze5> its already set for the i386
| |
| 12:56 | what happened when you booted from pxe?
| |
| 12:56 | <viggy_prabhu> same issue
| |
| 12:57 | <Gnoze5> what was the issue?
| |
| 12:57 | <viggy_prabhu> waited for sometime and then looked for HDD
| |
| 12:58 | <Gnoze5> if the dhcpd is running and the client is on the same network, and theres no ther dhcp server on that network, it should work
| |
| 12:58 | at least getting an ip part
| |
| 12:59 | <viggy_prabhu> can I check on my server if the client requested for an ip and whether it got it?
| |
| 13:02 | <Gnoze5> well the client would output that for sure
| |
| 13:03 | you can try to get an ip without it being through pxe boot

| 13:07 | <viggy_prabhu> Gnoze5, I think I got one issue
| |
| 13:08 | my wireless network which I am using to connect to internet and the dhcp were running on the same network
| |
| 13:08 | same subnet
| |
| 13:08 | <Gnoze5> well that would mess it up
| |
| 13:08 | just turn off all other dhcp servers
| |
| 13:08 | <viggy_prabhu> I will change the dhcp ip address range to 10.0.0.0 series
| |
| 13:09 | my client is directly connected to my server's ethernet
| |
| 13:09 | so it should get only my server's dhcp right?

| |
| 13:40 | <viggy_prabhu> my client doesnt show any information regardin it

| 13:41 | it justs say that is trying to boot from network and then after some time just tries to boot from HDD
| |

| 14:37 | i stopped it and then started it again
| |
| 14:37 | then it showed up in netstat
| |
| 14:37 | now when I tried to boot my client, it showed ARP timout
| |
| 14:51 | Gnoze5, I was able to boot in my client
| |
| 14:52 | ARP problem was because the domain configured in dhcp configuration was dummy "example.com" which was not getting resolved
| |
| 14:52 | I just commented it
| |
| 14:52 | Gnoze5, there is a new problem now, when the system boots it is asking for username and password and it did not take my normal system username and password
| |
| 14:53 | Gnoze5, any idea where it needs to be configured
