| 06:21 | <alkisg> Hm. For some reason dnsmasq-tftp send a corrupted lts.conf to my vbox client.
| |
| 06:21 | While using "binary" mode it works fine, and fast.
| |
| 06:21 | What was the reason for not using binary mode in tftp again?
| |
| 06:22 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/238010
| |
| 06:36 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i seem to recall switching from one to the other
| |
| 06:36 | or it at least coming up before
| |
| 06:46 | <alkisg> Hey, wait a minute, which tftp client is this?! (in the initramfs) I thought we were using busybox...
| |
| 06:52 | Hmm looks like it's the tftp-hpa client in the ubuntu initramfs, instead of the one embedded into busybox
| |
| 06:55 | Gremble has joined IRC (Gremble!~Ben@cpc12-aztw24-2-0-cust146.aztw.cable.virginmedia.com) | |
| 06:55 | <alkisg> OK I'm able to reproduce the problem with the tftp-hpa client locally on the server
| |
| 06:55 | It only appears when lts.conf has a specific size
| |
| 06:55 | I'll look into it and file a bug against dnsmasq or tftp-hpa...

| 07:06 | gnunux has joined IRC (gnunux!~emmanuel@194.167.18.244) | |
| 07:08 | <alkisg> Busybox tftp works fine though, it might be using a binary transfer like the pxe stage also does...
| |
| 07:12 | <muppis> Heh. Kernel panic @ DL380 G7 (2CPU, 12 GB) when trying to load client.
| |
| 07:13 | <vagrantc> ouch
| |
| 07:13 | * vagrantc would give memtest a whirl | |
| 07:14 | <muppis> First trying to boot at CD.

| 09:57 | <muppis> Is there meta-package to convert desktop to server?
| |
| 09:57 | Or did I install desktop for nothing?
| |
| 09:58 | <vagrantc> ubuntu?
| |
| 09:58 | <muppis> Yes.
| |
| 09:58 | <vagrantc> just install ltsp-server-standalone
| |
| 09:58 | <muppis> Not ltsp, regular.
| |
| 09:58 | <vagrantc> it's just a matter of which packages are installed
| |
| 09:58 | there's nothing magic in it
| |
| 09:59 | <muppis> I know, but I'm trying to ease my job. ;)

| 10:11 | <alkisg> muppis: tasksel install ubuntu-desktop
| |
| 10:12 | <muppis> alkisg, doesn't that install desktop?
| |
| 10:12 | <alkisg> muppis: ah I thought you said "server to desktop"
| |
| 10:12 | You mean, to remove the desktop packages?
| |
| 10:12 | <muppis> Yes.
| |
| 10:12 | <alkisg> Along with X and gnome and everything?
| |
| 10:12 | So that you're unable to run ltsp anymore?
| |
| 10:13 | <muppis> Everything, like is being installed as server in first place.
| |
| 10:13 | Yes, this certain machine is not going to be ltsp-server.
| |
| 10:13 | <alkisg> What do you have currently? Gnome?
| |
| 10:13 | <muppis> Yep.
| |
| 10:15 | <alkisg> You need something like this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
| |
| 10:15 | But it has all the desktops there except for gnome, google for something similar
| |
| 10:15 | I.e. it's not a small command, it's a big list of packages
| |
| 10:18 | `tasksel --task-packages ubuntu-desktop` will show you a few of them

| 10:23 | <vagrantc> apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop
| |
| 10:23 | might go a long way
| |
| 10:28 | <muppis> I got time. There's 3 other DL380's waiting installation.
| |
| 10:30 | But... Removing ubuntu-desktop only removes that, nothing else
| |
| 10:32 | <alkisg> vagrantc: I don't think that will work, tasksel marks all dependencies as manually installed
| |
| 10:33 | That's why the huge list of packages is necessary on the `apt-get purge` command line
| |
| 10:34 | <vagrantc> how awful.
| |
| 10:37 | * alkisg doesn't even understand the reason why tasksel exists | |
| 10:37 | <alkisg> Maybe to prevent noob users from destroying their installations by purging ubuntu-desktop and then autoremoving the rest... but it gets in the way otherwise
| |
| 10:37 | <muppis> Installer uses it?
| |
| 10:38 | <alkisg> Yes, but those packages could be in the "recommends" list of ubuntu-desktop instead of a tasksel list
| |
| 10:39 | <muppis> ubuntu-desktop is simple meta-package, it contain depencies, but no one doesn't need it, so by purging it just brokes that what Canonincal thinks what is Ubuntu Desktop.
| |
| 10:40 | <alkisg> Well gnome and gnome-desktop-environment etc are similar packages, I don't see them using tasksel.
| |
| 10:41 | While, without tasksel, you could just install kubuntu-desktop and autoremove ubuntu-desktop, and you'd have switched to KDE without making a mess
| |
| 10:44 | <muppis> I think I'll end up reinstalling this machine. One thing I hate in my boss. He's little paranoid about having dnsmasq in our internal lan to server pxe booting.
| |
| 10:44 | Trixboxer has joined IRC (Trixboxer!~Trixboxer@office.supportdepartment.net) | |
| 10:44 | <vagrantc> paranoid?
| |
| 10:45 | worried about it messing with another dhcp server or something?
| |
| 10:46 | <muppis> vagrantc, thinks it reveals something something important like IP addresses and names to public, as we do not have internal lan to connected any machine were customers have an access.
| |
| 10:46 | There's no dhcpd in our lan.
| |
| 10:46 | <vagrantc> reveals where?
| |
| 10:46 | ah.
| |
| 10:46 | it's not dnsmasq, just DHCP
| |
| 10:47 | <muppis> I requested dnsmsq to gain tftpd to ease new installations.
| |
| 10:49 | And also acting as dns also to have same names for machines for every one who needs those.
| |
| 10:49 | As those names and IP's are saved now on machine were customers does have access..
| |
| 10:51 | Puuh. As I though. While trying to remove/purge everything ubuntu-desktop -related, apt-get tries to install kubuntu..
| |
| 10:52 | So just all over again. Seeya later. ;)
| |
| 10:53 | vagrantc has left IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@conference/debconf/x-htpxufwwjlivyfea, Quit: leaving) | |
| 11:10 | <alkisg> You can tell dnsmasq to ignore *all* clients except ones with known mac addresses
| |
| 11:10 | And have all known clients with static IP reservations
| |
| 11:10 | That should be about the same as not having a dhcp server at all, "security"-wise
| |
| 11:22 | <muppis> alkisg, I know. I use it that way at home, but haven't got my boss convienced from that.

| 12:25 | <Hyperbyte> vmassuchetto, make sure ntpdate is installed in the chroot (should be by default, but for some reason it wasn't for me)
| |
| 12:25 | Then in lts.conf specify TIMEZONE and TIMESERVER
| |
| 12:25 | !lts.conf | echo vmassuchetto
| |
| 12:25 | <ltsp> vmassuchetto lts.conf: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf.
| |
| 12:26 | <Hyperbyte> If you have a local timeserver you can specify that, else set up ntpd on your terminal server and specify the terminal server's IP as timeserver
| |
| 12:29 | <vmassuchetto> Hyperbyte, thanks!
| |
| 12:29 | <mgariepy> good morning everyone
| |
| 12:31 | <vmassuchetto> Hyperbyte, wich format is TIMEZONE?
| |
| 12:36 | <Hyperbyte> vmassuchetto, anything in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ and subdirs
| |
| 12:36 | I.e, /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin, for example
| |
| 12:39 | <vmassuchetto> Hyperbyte, you mean, TIMEZONE = /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin ?
| |
| 12:40 | Hyperbyte, nevermind, I used the UTC code.

| |
| 13:36 | <vagrantc> stgraber: do the keyboard shortcuts for ldm work for you? they've been broken for me since ldm 2.2.x
| |
| 13:41 | <stgraber> I haven't really tried them in a long time. They may very well be broken now that the greeter and the menu are basically two different windows

| 14:28 | <Ghidorah> Good morning everyone, I'm attempting to force Ubuntu-Classic session for users with LTSP-Cluster.
| |
| 14:28 | Some other users reported that if you set LDM_XSESSION to gnome-session --session=classic-gnome
| |
| 14:29 | will force Ubuntu Classic
| |
| 14:29 | But there is an interesting issue where it will not create the typical directories in the user profile
| |
| 14:29 | it will only create Desktop
| |
| 14:30 | for a new user login
| |
| 14:30 | If I login as the user to the app server locally everything works as expected.
| |
| 14:30 | Any ideas?
| |
| 14:31 | <TheMatrix3000> I am now happily using Nagio to monitor my LTSP server :)
| |

| |
| 14:56 | * andygraybeal ^5's TheMatrix3000 :)) | |
| 14:58 | <vagrantc> stgraber: i was thinking of releasing ltsp-docs 1.0 today ... just uploaded a new version to debian
| |
| 14:58 | noticed that you marked it as mature
| |
| 14:58 | could really use a review for accuracy, though
| |
| 14:59 | <mgariepy> Ghidorah, can you try ldm from revolution linux ppa + LDM_SESSION = gnome-session --session=classic-gnome
| |
| 14:59 | <stgraber> vagrantc: yeah, marked it as "mature" because it's been around for a long long time now :)
| |
| 15:00 | vagrantc: I also looked at release.conf and thought that maybe we should tag 1.0 :)
| |
| 15:07 | <Ghidorah> mgariepy, I'm on LTSP-Cluster, and yes I can try the LDM
| |
| 15:08 | stgraber: Do you accept bribes for bug fixes?
| |
| 15:08 | stgraber: I know of some good beers.
| |
| 15:10 | <stgraber> I saw https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldm/+bug/812328 will have a look soon
| |
| 15:10 | <Ghidorah> stgraber: I've heard some developers work better when intoxicated.
| |
| 15:10 | I can help with this

| 15:19 | <andygraybeal> yay ltsp cluster!
| |
| 15:20 | i am wondering if such a thing exists that if i have a catastrophe with one of my machines, can i easily pick up where i left off with another machine? is this a cluster type situation or... how would i go about doing this?
| |
| 15:20 | machines would be running ltsp of couse
| |
| 15:20 | *course
| |
| 15:20 | server
| |
| 15:20 | <pingufan> Hello, I know that #kiwi-ltsp would be the better place to ask, but there I get no answer. Hope that somebody here can help me.
| |
| 15:22 | I have clients with VIA mainboards. When I manually edit the kernel bootline (which is automatically generated by KIWI), from vga=791 -> vga=0x31a, everything is fine. But how can I make that permanent?
| |
| 15:23 | <Ghidorah> andygraybeal: left where you left off? I don't know about that
| |
| 15:23 | <Hyperbyte> Kernel bootline isn't automatically generated, it's fetched from tftp (at least on Ubuntu)
| |
| 15:23 | <andygraybeal> Ghidorah, okay yea, it's vague. i don't know what i'm describing either.
| |
| 15:23 | <Ghidorah> from my understanding of how it works is a load balancing with different application servers
| |
| 15:23 | So for example
| |
| 15:23 | <Hyperbyte> See your tftpd directory for pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 15:23 | <Ghidorah> in my setup
| |
| 15:23 | <pingufan> In which file is the bootline stored?
| |
| 15:23 | <Ghidorah> I have one LTSP-Root and 3 LTSP-App servers. When a user logs in, it picks an app server
| |
| 15:24 | <Hyperbyte> On Ubuntu it's /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 15:24 | <andygraybeal> Ghidorah, i guess i want a redundant system.. for failover purposes.
| |
| 15:24 | <Ghidorah> well
| |
| 15:24 | if the app server dies
| |
| 15:24 | while users on it, there sessions go with it
| |
| 15:25 | but they can log back in
| |
| 15:25 | and it SHOULD pick another app server
| |
| 15:25 | <andygraybeal> yea, that sounds good. is there a way to replicate the Root?
| |
| 15:26 | i guess like.. master, slave, then app servers.
| |
| 15:27 | <Ghidorah> You could
| |
| 15:28 | <pingufan> Hyperbyte: Thank you. In openSuSE it is simply /srv/tftpboot/....
| |
| 15:28 | <Ghidorah> setup the root server on a linux high availability cluster
| |
| 15:28 | <pingufan> Can I make the choice dependend from MAC address of the client?
| |
| 15:29 | Then I could run clients with different screens/resolutions.
| |
| 15:29 | <Ghidorah> You can do a lot of that with LTS.CONF
| |

| |
| 15:31 | <pingufan> lts.conf allows me to choose different kernel-bootoptions? This is what I am actually looking for. How do I set a particular vga=..... parameter?
| |
| 15:31 | <Ghidorah> so for example pingufan in my LTS.CONF I had [009*] X_MODE_0=800x600
| |
| 15:32 | pingufan: hrmm I'm not sure how to make that change.
| |
| 15:32 | <pingufan> Ah, that doesn't work. I tried this way to switch to 1280x1024, it permanently was nailed up to 1024x768

| 15:33 | <pingufan> If I could choose a particular bootmenu file by the MAC, it would also be fine.
| |
| 15:33 | <Hyperbyte> pingufan, I have a hard time believing OpenSUSE only lets you specify screen resolution as a kernel parameter and not otherwise.
| |
| 15:33 | <pingufan> Then I can manually make copies and edit them.
| |
| 15:33 | alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg) | |
| 15:35 | <pingufan> In openSuSE I have no problems in configuring a local display and craphics card. Usually. But with LTSP I am not so familiar.
| |
| 15:35 | In fact I do my first steps.
| |
| 15:35 | <Hyperbyte> pingufan, then what distro are your LTSP thin clients running?
| |
| 15:35 | <pingufan> openSuSE, I guess?
| |
| 15:35 | The host is runnint it (at least).
| |
| 15:35 | vagrantc has left IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@conference/debconf/x-fkgcxenwkzoltjmi, Ping timeout: 250 seconds) | |
| 15:36 | <Hyperbyte> Unless the OpenSUSE client chroots are made from a different distro than the host, they should also be OpenSUSE. Meaning that as soon as you can figure out how to get 'xrandr' working properly on OpenSUSE for your thin clients' hardware, setting xrandr mode via lts.conf will work.
| |
| 15:37 | <pingufan> But it seems that - because the clients use vesa or fbdev - I have to set the resolution as vga=.... when a useful driver is available, it will possibly overrule that afterwards, but here i stuck.
| |
| 15:37 | <Hyperbyte> Meaning, get OpenSUSE to use a video driver that works properly and support xrandr, and you're done.
| |
| 15:38 | Your clients should use whatever you specify in lts.conf as XSERVER
| |
| 15:38 | <pingufan> There I entered "via", as this is a VIA based Mobo with VIA Chrome HD9 chip.
| |
| 15:40 | <Hyperbyte> uh huh.... and then you can't choose anything but 1024x768?
| |
| 15:40 | <pingufan> But I read lots of difficulties people have with drivers. VESA would be fine, I have no needs for highspeed, as long as it works.
| |
| 15:40 | Exactly. Whatever is selected as kernel parameter is nailed.
| |
| 15:40 | <Hyperbyte> Okay - so a driver is broken on OpenSUSE and you're basically asking us to make LTSP work with broken drivers? :)
| |
| 15:41 | <pingufan> And previously there was vga=791 (which is 1024x768)
| |
| 15:41 | No. I ask, how I can change this boot options depending on the client's MAC.
| |
| 15:42 | <Hyperbyte> pingufan, the whole point of using xrandr is that xrandr detects and sets the optimal resolution for your screens automatically. What you're saying is "I want to use a video driver that doesn't support xrandr, yet still set the resolution automatically". This is illogical. Use the correct video driver.
| |
| 15:42 | <Gadi> (not to butt in, but are you sure the driver is "via" and not "openchrome"?)
| |
| 15:42 | <Hyperbyte> pingufan, as far as I know, you can't. Unless you make several tftpboot directories and point each client to a specific one as a DHCP server setting
| |
| 15:42 | Da-Geek has left IRC (Da-Geek!~Da-Geek@nat/redhat/x-ltctrnofbyglthwe, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 15:42 | <Gadi> perhaps, you should simply not specify the XSERVER
| |
| 15:42 | <alkisg> You can set kernel parameters per mac address by defining pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address files
| |
| 15:43 | But I'm sure that passing vga=xxx is NOT the solution to your problem
| |
| 15:43 | Listen to Gadi :)
| |
| 15:43 | <pingufan> Again you are wrong. What I say is (possibly): I want to overrule this not working xrandr and force different kernel parameters for every client. And as I can identify the client only throu its MAX, ...
| |
| 15:43 | alkisg: It works.

| 15:44 | <alkisg> pingufan: ok, if you want to do what you want to do, pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address is the way to do it. If you want to listen to more experienced people, listen to Gadi and Hyperbyte :)
| |
| 15:44 | * Gadi runs away | |
| 15:44 | <Gadi> :)
| |
| 15:44 | <alkisg> Hehe
| |
| 15:44 | <Hyperbyte> Haha
| |
| 15:45 | <alkisg> When a client boots, pxelinux says "trying to load pxelinux.cfg/xxxxxxxxxx" a lot of such lines there. It tries by mac, by ip etc etc
| |
| 15:45 | So you can copy pxelinux.cfg/default to one of those files, per client
| |
| 15:45 | <pingufan> As I must get this working rapidely (in 12 hours it must work) ...
| |
| 15:45 | <alkisg> More docs about this in the syslinux site
| |
| 15:46 | <pingufan> how must the filename be assembled?
| |
| 15:46 | <Hyperbyte> pingufan, I'm a Fedora person myself. But Fedora's video driver for the intel card in my thin clients didn't properly work with xrandr and dual displays. I ended up switching to Ubuntu, because I figured a distro switch with a working autodetection of screens, would be a hell lot easier than to create new files for every new thin client or new screen that is attached. But it's your party. Either way, getting a working videodriver is your best bet.
| |
| 15:46 | (did that get cut off?)
| |
| 15:47 | <alkisg> No it's ok

" etc etc
| |
| 15:48 | <pingufan> Ah! only the MAC is the filename. Now I understand.
| |
| 15:48 | <alkisg> Don't forget the 01- in front
| |
| 15:48 | It's the type code for ethernet
| |
| 15:48 | <pingufan> Ok, I would have foregotten it... Thanks.

| |
| 15:50 | <pingufan> Ok. First, I make this (as this are only 2-3 clients in total). Then I have time to play with other solutions. - Acceptable?

| 15:53 | <alkisg> Hyperbyte: I think the text files are utf8, yes, so if there's a problem, it would be in the php/html logic somewhere
| |
| 15:55 | <pingufan> Does somebody know how many octets usually are changing within one manufacturer's production? Last 1/2/3 ?
| |
| 15:55 | <Hyperbyte> pingufan, first 3 is manufacturer, last three is device.
| |
| 15:57 | <pingufan> So first 3-4 octets should be enough to grop this kind of mainboards.

| 17:00 | <pingufan> Hello, one, final little thing is open: Can the client get the server's time (sync to it) when it shows the login screen? I see there the local time which is wrong.
| |
| 17:03 | <alkisg> Install ntpd on the server and set TIMEZONE/TIMESERVER in lts.conf
| |
| 17:11 | <Hyperbyte> And also make sure that ntpdate is installed on the client
| |
| 17:12 | <pingufan> I enabled it in /etc/xinet.d/ and also added "option ntp-servers " meanwhile to /etc/dhcpd.conf. lts.conf contains in default section: TIMESERVER=10.4.0.1 and TIMEZONE=GMT+1. Still the wrong time on the client.
| |
| 17:14 | Well, as everything comes later from the server that isn't critical, it is only confusing.
| |
| 17:15 | <alkisg> There was a bug concerning time updating on fast clients
| |
| 17:15 | But before going there, check if ntpdate works if you run it locally on the client
| |
| 17:15 | otavio has left IRC (otavio!~otavio@debian/developer/otavio, Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | |
| 17:15 | <alkisg> I.e., get a local root shell on your thin client, and run: ntpdate server

| 17:16 | Also TIMEZONE=GMT+1 isn't correct
| |

| 21:22 | <Ghidorah> Has anyone used the latest release of rdesktop in LTSP?
| |
| 21:23 | * alkisg has used the latest version of xfreerdp | |
| 21:24 | frederickjh has left IRC (frederickjh!~frederick@rivendell/member/frederickjh) | |
| 21:24 | <Ghidorah> do you like it more than rdesktop?
| |
| 21:24 | <alkisg> rdesktop isn't actively developed, xfreerdp is
| |
| 21:24 | I had problems with keymaps in rdesktop, they work fine in xfreerdp
| |
| 21:25 | <Ghidorah> Someone new is maintaining rdesktop and released a new update in April
| |
| 21:26 | can xfreerdp be a drop in replacement for rdesktop in LTSP?
| |
| 21:26 | <alkisg> I've heard that, but xfreerdp has a lot more developers committing stuff each day on their git repository, it looks way more active
| |
| 21:26 | Yes, it can
| |
| 21:30 | Here is the rdesktop tracker activity from sourceforge: basically, dead.
| |
| 21:30 | http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=24366&ugn=rdesktop
| |
| 21:30 | <Ghidorah> yeah... ouch.
| |
| 21:31 | <alkisg> And their svn, 0 writes: http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=24366&ugn=rdesktop&type=svn

| 21:41 | <Ghidorah> Do you have issues with freenx?
| |
| 21:47 | <alkisg> Session suspend/resume doesn't work, session shadowing doesn't work, etc etc
| |
| 21:47 | <Ghidorah> ah
| |
| 21:47 | <alkisg> And neatx, while it's easier on the installation, it has problems with older sesssions and needs a clean up once in a while
| |
| 21:48 | <Ghidorah> Do you use it for external access?
| |
| 21:49 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
| 21:49 | <Ghidorah> Do you know if NFS_HOME is only used for fatclients?
| |
| 21:50 | <alkisg> Yes, but it can probably be used for localapps too
| |
| 21:55 | <Ghidorah> sigh, Flash is the devil
| |
| 21:56 | killed my chroot and started anew hoping I goofed
| |
| 21:56 | Cannot get flash to work in local apps
| |
| 21:57 | <alkisg> I assume sound wasn't the problem then?
| |
| 21:58 | If you start firefox etc from a local terminal, do you see any errors on the output?
| |
| 21:58 | <Ghidorah> You assume right, I still appreciate the tip on sound. We don't offer sound on the terminals.
| |
| 21:58 | I do not get any output from xterm
| |
| 21:59 | artista_frustrad has left IRC (artista_frustrad!~fernando@200.247.43.2, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 22:00 | <alkisg> And when you go to whatever site that user flash, firefox crashes?
| |
| 22:00 | *uses
| |
| 22:01 | <Ghidorah> flashplugin crashes
| |
| 22:01 | <alkisg> Ah, how do you run the local firefox?
| |
| 22:01 | From xterm, that is?
| |
| 22:01 | <Ghidorah> well, I've tried two ways
| |
| 22:01 | the ltsp-localapps-menu with firefox
| |
| 22:01 | and ltsp-localapps xterm
| |
| 22:01 | and then firefox
| |
| 22:01 | <alkisg> Yeah the second one should have given you output, if any
| |
| 22:02 | <Ghidorah> both ways the plugin crashes
| |
| 22:02 | firefox still operates
| |
| 22:02 | it is firefox5 I don't know if that matters
| |
| 22:02 | <alkisg> Maybe. Did you try other firefox versions / or other browsers, like chromium?
| |
| 22:03 | <Ghidorah> No sir. I will though.
| |
| 22:03 | interestingly enough 64bit flash works on the server
| |
| 22:04 | <alkisg> Ah that's 64bit?
| |
| 22:05 | I thought canonical, mozilla, adobe etc voted against using 64 bit
| |
| 22:07 | <Ghidorah> hrmm you probably know better than I.
| |
| 22:07 | I guess I'm only refereing to the amd64 package
| |
| 22:09 | <alkisg> Anyway, time to go. bb all.
