<petres>
Running on Ubuntu 10.4, I changed the subnet for my ltsp segment by editing /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
00:37
My clients still boot, but when I try to login they always fail, saying they can't communicate with the server.
00:37
Is there something in the chroot that I need to edit as well?

alkisg: ltsp-update-sshkeys: If you changed your server IP, you need to run ltsp-update-sshkeys, and if you're using NBD (Ubuntu) you also need ltsp-update-image afterwards

<petres>
good evening alkisg
00:39

<quietone>
newbie here. I'm logged onto the server machine and the session has hung. How do I restart it without affecting the users on the thin clients?
01:07
<petres>
quietone, you might try logging in via one of the clients, using a different ID, and once logged in, run 'sudo pkill -u <ID you used on the server>'

Evening all
01:12* vagrantc waves to sbalneav
01:12
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: libpam-sshauth hit debian testing today
01:12
<sbalneav>
Oh, cool!
01:12
<quietone>
petres, thanks. how do I find the ID you refer to?
01:12
<sbalneav>
And guess what. I got libnss-sshsock going today
01:12
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: ooooh!
01:13
<sbalneav>
passwd and group handling done.
01:13
<petres>
good evening sbalneav; that's good news
01:13
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: now we'll have to plug it all together and watch the fireworks
01:13
<sbalneav>
I'm going to spend the evening doing the "soft" bits; README, man pages, etc. and try to release a
01:13
package by the end of the night.
01:13
<petres>
quietone, you don't know the ID you used to login on the server console?
01:14
quietone, does it appear in the top right hand corner of the screen, on the panel?
01:14
<quietone>
petres, yes, I don't know what you mean by 'ID'
01:14
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: i might be able to try and package it up tomorrow
01:14
<petres>
login ID
01:14
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: or maybe sunday/monday
01:15
<quietone>
petres, oh. I see.
01:15
<petres>
just don't use that ID when you login via the client or you'll kick yourself off when you run the pkill command.
01:17
my ltsp interface is still setting itself as the default gateway for the server, so I end up with two GWs.
01:17
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to get it to not do that?
01:17
There's nothing set in /etc/network/interfaces.
01:18
It also manages to get a lower metric than the outside nic (eth0).
01:20
<sbalneav>
vagrantc: OK, I'll work real hard tonight. :)
01:22

<petres>
In ubuntu, how do I tell if an interface is being managed by Network Manager?
01:38
<Gadi>
sbalneav: just tested libnss -> congrats! you rock!
01:38
<petres>
tell via the command line I mean
01:39
<Gadi>
petres: unless you specify an interface in /etc/network/interfaces, network manager is managing it
01:39
<jammcq>
sbalneav is what we call "scarey smart"
01:39
<petres>
Gadi, both my interfaces are specified in /etc/network/interfaces
01:39
<Gadi>
are they set as "auto" or "manual" ?
01:39
<petres>
But something keeps setting a default route with the ltsp nic as the gateway.
01:40
They're both set auto
01:40
perhaps that's the trouble
01:40
<Gadi>
no, that's fine
01:40
did you restart network manager?
01:40
sudo service network-manager restart
01:42
<petres>
No, but I recently rebooted (for another reason)
01:42
<Gadi>
sbalneav: found a bug
01:42
sbalneav: getent group lists the groups but not the members
01:42
<petres>
but network-manager *is* running
01:43
<Gadi>
petres: why not just tell network manager not to set the ltsp nic as the default gw?
01:43quietone has left IRC (quietone!~quietone@121-98-80-11.bitstream.orcon.net.nz, Remote host closed the connection)
01:43
<Gadi>
in fact, the ltsp nic most likely doesn't need a gateway defined at all
01:44
<petres>
Gadi, right, it shouldn't. I can't figure out why it is.
01:44
<Gadi>
what is network manager set to?
01:44
static?
01:44
<petres>
Let me check...
01:44
<Gadi>
with a gateway?
01:45
:)
01:48
<sbalneav>
Gadi: I've fixed that today.
01:48
Preparing to pusg
01:48
<Gadi>
sbalneav: could be that it is because the group names have spaces in them. It doesn't seem to like that with a "getent group 'Domain Users'"
01:48
<sbalneav>
push.
01:49
<Gadi>
ah
01:49
ok
01:49
<sbalneav>
No, I didn't implement group member functionality until today.
01:49
here, lemme push.
01:51
version 15 pushed.
01:52
<jammcq>
sbalneav: Scotty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
01:52
<Gadi>
still no go for me
01:52
hmm...
01:53
<petres>
Gadi, NM just lists ifupdown(eth0) and ifupdown(eth1), and neither is editable, so I assume that means NM isn't managing either.
01:53
<sbalneav>
Gadi: with the spaces in the names?
01:53
<Gadi>
ah
01:53
nm
01:53
there it goes
01:53
<sbalneav>
I can see now that that's going to be a problem
01:53
<Gadi>
one issue still
01:53
<sbalneav>
yeugh.
01:53
<Gadi>
no, it works
01:53
<sbalneav>
jammcq: hey hey
01:53
really?\
01:53
<Gadi>
one issue left is doing: getnet group "Domain Users"
01:54
<sbalneav>
right.
01:54
not sure how I'm going to handle that one. :(
01:54
<Gadi>
but getent group works well
01:54
let me see how you do it now
01:55
<sbalneav>
We'll
01:55
um
01:55
wait
01:55
might be easy.

snprintf (command, sizeof command, "getent group %s", name)

maybe that %s needs quoting?

yeah
02:06
bleh, I'll have to look into how popen's implemented to find out how exactly I have to quote/escape
02:06
<Gadi>
so, the question is, where is the space being dropped? when it is read into a char or in the sprintf?

hi, any ideas why 'sudo pkill -u <name>.' would not work? I couldn't kill the processes either.
02:33
<petres>
Aha! If I shutdown NetworkManager, then ifdown eth1, then ifup eth1, it comes up & does not set itself as a default GW.
02:34
quietone, if you run 'ps -ef' and grep for the ID used on the server, does it find any processes owned by that ID?

02:41
<petres>
Do most people who are using ltsp on Ubuntu use NetworkManager or not?
02:42
<sbalneav>
I don't. My interfaces are always statically defined.
02:43
IMHO, for a server, you always want the interfaces statically defined in /etc/network/interfaces, or equivalent.
02:43
<quietone>
petres, I used 'ps -au <ID>' getting lots of processes. I recall (had too reboot server) 'firefox <defunct>'
02:45
sbalneav, thanks. I always thought 'kill -9' would kill anything.
02:49
<sbalneav>
Not zombies, maaaan, zombies EAT YOUR BRAINZ
02:49
or something like that.
02:49
Gahh, I hate writing manpages.

we used adduser to make users but some won't log in on some thin clients (seems random to me) but the first one always works everywhere. Did we miss something in creating users?
03:08
<sbalneav>
Possibly. How exactly did you create them?
03:11
<quietone>
sbalneav, sorry we aren't 110% sure if it was adduser or useradd. if it matters system->admin->users and groups doesn't work either. It display data but only the close button does anything.
03:17
sbalneav, the person who did that bit thinks it was 'adduser'
03:19
<sbalneav>
home dirs exist in /home?
03:19
have you tried ssh'ing into those accounts from another computer?
03:19
That may provide a clue.
03:22
also, it's helpful to check their .xession-errors file.
03:24

sbalneav, I'll look into that

how would i do that alkisg, cause i want to try puting teh active zabbix client on the fat clients so the fat clients do more load themselves

basically i need on boot the systems hostname to be copied in place of localhost on /etc/zabbix/zabbix-agentd.conf
16:41
<alkisg>
!lts.conf
16:41
<ltsp>
alkisg: lts.conf: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
16:41
<alkisg>
See the RCFILE directive there
16:42
<matrix3000>
ok, and then i could have a bash file be ran basically?
16:43
<alkisg>
Yup
16:44
<matrix3000>
now i guess i need to figure out how to do it in bash
16:44
now will that RCFILE run that script in sudo permissions?
16:45
cause /etc/zabbix/zabbix-agentd.conf needs sudo rights to modify it cause its 755 permissions
16:45
<alkisg>
Yes
16:46
<matrix3000>
ok sweet
16:50
do i need to do anything special to call a $HOSTNAME?
16:50
from the system
16:54
sed -i 's/#Hostname=localhost/Hostname=$HOSTNAME/g' $f
16:55[GuS] has left IRC ([GuS]!~MysT@unaffiliated/gus/x-663402, Remote host closed the connection)

<alkisg>
If HOSTNAME isn't available, you can find it with hostname=$(HOSTNAME)
16:57
Sorry the opposite
16:57
HOSTNAME=$(hostname)

ill ask in bash channel
17:15
ok got the one liner script to do it
17:15
so i need to make a .sh file now right
17:15
and put that in rc
17:28
aaaaah
17:28
didn't work

<Gadi>
you don't need testnsslib
20:22
that is just a test file so you don't need to test it with your nsswitch.conf
20:22
in terms of the libs, you prolly only need the .so*
20:22
in the regular package
20:23
maybe the .a and .la in a -dev package?
20:23
<vagrantc>
Gadi: yeah, i got a lintian warning about the -dev stuff ... though it's small enough that it might not make sense for a separate package
20:24
<muppis>
I got proved my boss today to start study could we use LTSP as base for diskless kvm host. :)
20:24
<vagrantc>
Gadi: but everything is there?
20:24
<Gadi>
to test, add "sshsock" in your nsswitch.conf (for passwd, group), then set NSS_SSHSOCK_SOCKET and NSS_SSHSOCK_HOST env vars
20:24
vagrantc: I believe so
20:25
<vagrantc>
Gadi: so, configure as above, and establish an SSH master socket (like LDM does?)
20:25
<Gadi>
yeah
20:25
<vagrantc>
Gadi: so the end-user can set those env vars and get different results?
20:25
<Gadi>
so, if you "ssh -M -S /tmp/foo -f -N server"
20:26
then: export NSS_SSHSOCK_SOCKET=/tmp/foo
20:26
and: export NSS_SSHSOCK_HOST=server

such as?
21:09

Gadi: kvm is on the server, but not in the ltsp chroot ... it doesn't show up when i do getent
21:10
Gadi: or is that the low uid/gid that it doesn't pass across?
21:10
<Gadi>
yeah, it may be that
21:11
<vagrantc>
but what if we need those low uid/gid?
21:11
<matrix3000>
can i specify multiple LDM_SESSION variables?
21:12
[00:11:25:93:CF:02] LDM_SESSION=/usr/bin/myloginscript
21:12
is in the man page, but I thought that LDM_SESSION was to set the session not run a script
21:13
<vagrantc>
matrix3000: i *think* it can do either, but i'd have to look at the code
21:14
<matrix3000>
vagrantc: thank you, I know that RCFILE_01 will run at boot, and now have zabbix on all the thin clients as a active local taking load off the server :)

why is SCREEN_07 the default?
21:43
<vagrantc>
X typically landed on tty7 for most distros for ages
21:43
<matrix3000>
ah ok
21:43
<vagrantc>
that's recently changing a bit, maybe, so perhaps it's a historical relic
21:43Parker955_Away is now known as Parker955
21:43
<matrix3000>
well it's valid here in my case so
21:47
only bad thing is
21:47
other shells provide a root oO
21:48
i ment tty*
21:48
so like i did a SCREEN_02=shell, and it gave me a root prompt
21:48
which me no like lol
21:49
<vagrantc>
that's what it's supposed to do ... what are you *trying* to do?
21:50
matrix3000: you want a login on the server, or the thin-client itself?
21:50
<matrix3000>
basically a non ldm shell
21:50
that still requires a login
21:50
<pscheie>
matrix3000, that root shell is only on the client, btw, not the server
21:50
<vagrantc>
and where do you want the shell to be logged into?
21:50
<matrix3000>
oh i got you
21:50
<vagrantc>
matrix3000: typically, there are no users on the thin client
21:50
<matrix3000>
ahhhhh
21:51
<<< just realized that
21:51
<vagrantc>
so presenting a login there would not be useful
21:51
<matrix3000>
lol
21:51
yea finally makes sense
21:51
now how would i make a screen for a ssh into the ltsp server itself
21:52
<vagrantc>
matrix3000: SCREEN_02=ssh
21:53
<matrix3000>
i need to put that on the man page then prolly dont i
21:53
cause ssh isn't listed
21:53
haha
21:54
<vagrantc>
suppose so
21:54
<matrix3000>
Currently, possible values include: rdesktop, xdmcp, shell, ldm, startx (depreciated), and telnet
21:54
<vagrantc>
matrix3000: basically, everything in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ltsp/screen.d/ should be a valid SCREEN_NN option
21:54
<matrix3000>
oh i dont have access to change that
21:54
ah ok
21:54
ill check that
21:55
<vagrantc>
i'll fix it in the upstream docs
21:55
<matrix3000>
ok sweet
21:55

22:01
there's also a few others like the FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD=(VALUE in MB)
22:01
which is for fat clients, someone finally put it in wiki but its not in the man page
22:01
<vagrantc>
matrix3000: anything you know about that's missing would be great
22:01
<matrix3000>
that's all i think i got for now
22:02
wait
22:02
theres
22:02

matrix3000: committed the SCREEN_XX update
22:02
<matrix3000>
NFS_HOME= and NFS_HOME_OPTIONS=
22:02
ok awesome

fatclient isn't even documented

Just curious, a while back I saw direction that X11 is being replaced with Wayland at some point which will impact ssh graphical and ltsp .. or is wayland capable of ltsp use?

LTSP is more than just remote X
23:35
E.g. nothing will change about just booting a client and before starting X
23:35
Or, with fat clients, we don't care if they have X or wayland or whatever, we just offer them a networked disk, authentication, common /home etc

About the X part, if it gets really out of the picture, I guess some other elegant way of remote desktop will emerge
23:36
Spice, nx, freenx, something wayland-specific, dunno, it's too early to judge
23:37
But it will, as people need that. And we'll just use it in LTSP

It might even offer session suspend + resume, which we don't (normally) have currently
