Hmm. Funny. Dnsmasq makes a A record for client name, but it doesn't use it. Maybe wrong domain.

You do have 127.0.0.1 as your first dns server, right?

Sure, but dnsmasq forwards the request.

I just don't understand. Can't get dnsmasq working right now.
09:48

muppis: put break=bottom in pxelinux.cfg/default, and then run: udhcpc -h hostname
09:48
That way you'll be sure that the client side is ok

Also check the dhcp logs

You do have dnsmasq as dhcp server too, right?

You should be seeing a "client provides name=ltsp191" there

You're missing the line in the middle. Are you sure you ran udhcpc -h hostname manually?
10:59
<muppis>
Yes, and it gives Lease failed:
11:04
<alkisg>
That's the problem then, you need to find out why the lease fails
11:06
<muppis>
What the h.... It started working.

Hi,

11:18
<irctc076>
Am using Edubuntu 11.10. Am getting a fatal error when usin Sabayon when I go to edit a profile. Error message tells me to send a file I have not got in a folder that does not exist to bugzilla.
11:19
I need Sabayon. Anybody any suggestions how to overcome this problem ?
11:19
<muppis>
alkisg, should that break be inline with append?
11:20
<irctc076>
Yes it should... Apologies.
11:21
<alkisg>
irctc076: sabayon is pretty much unmaintained, if you need it then install 10.04
11:22
muppis: ipappend goes in a second line, while break=mount gets along with the other kernel parameters
11:23
<irctc076>
Thank you. Is there anything else you are aware of that I could use with 11.1 That would do the same thing ?
11:24
<alkisg>
You could use gsettings mandatory settings. I don't know of any GUI for that.
11:24
<ogra_>
dconf-editor
11:24
from dconf-tools
11:25
<alkisg>
Nice - but it's not a GUI in the sabayon sense, right?
11:25
<ogra_>
no, more like gconf-editor
11:25
<alkisg>
Gotcha. So you can't create menus, panels, wallpapers etc and the select "enforce those on these groups"
11:25
<ogra_>
(and to my knowledge currently the only gui you can use with gsettings/dconf)
11:26
<alkisg>
But well, since sabayon is unmaintained... :)
11:28
<irctc076>
Thanks, I shall have a look at what you have suggested. Does epoptes Overseer do the same thing. do you know ?

11:42
<alkisg>
muppis: are you using dnsmasq as a normal dhcp server, or as a proxy dhcp server?

11:50
<muppis>
alkisg, normal.
11:50
<alkisg>
OK. It doesn't work in proxydhcp mode for me, but it works fine in normal mode.
11:50
<muppis>
udhcpc just doesn't provide the hostname.
11:50
<alkisg>
And if the client does a second request with a different hostname, dnsmasq instantly forgets the old name
11:51
Try with dhclient then
11:51
udhcpc doesn't provide the hostname by default, you need to run it manually, right?
11:52
<muppis>
When runned manually it hangs. dhclient works.

12:12

Netbooted client NICs? AFAIK no, unless you write custom code for that
12:13
<andygraybeal>
muppis, curious, can you tell me what the situation would be to do that?
12:13
<muppis>
andygraybeal, client is host for kvm virtuals.
12:14
<andygraybeal>
muppis, nice
12:14
<muppis>
And virtuals boot from iSCSI.
12:14

Can be called that. :) Bunch of HP DL380's

muppis, nice
12:17

12:17

Actually comes cheaper than keeping all hosts diskfull. :)

hello
13:06
<alkisg>
Did you manage to get epoptes running?
13:06
<jtsop>
nope
13:07
<alkisg>
What was the output of /usr/sbin/epoptes-client, on the client?
13:08
<Guest35216>
he guys im working with floppy!
13:08
things not so easy
13:08
and fast
13:08
<alkisg>
Why not? I've been working with floppies for years :)
13:08
<jtsop>
I'll see into it tomorrow
13:09

momen pls
13:10
<alkisg>
jtsop: ok - and about the installation problem, was it the logoff/logon that is mentioned in the wiki page?
13:14
<Guest35216>
uuu
13:14
now i get not supported /ltsp/i386/vmlinzu
13:15
<alkisg>
You keep writing vmlinzu instead of vmlinuz, I hope you don't mistype it in the script too :)
13:15
What script are you using now?
13:15
<Guest35216>
i have to crash boot with it
13:15
that its ok with the paths
13:15
i uses this greek thing
13:16
I don`t understand how it can work
13:16
because he does not tell any http paths
13:16
so a little strange
13:16
<alkisg>
What http? Are you using http or tftp?
13:17
<Guest35216>
http
13:17
I allways said
13:18
my question was just how to throw out the tftp boot prefix
13:19
<alkisg>
You just said that you didn't want a DHCP server, you didn't say anything about http
13:20
<Guest35216>
yes the few days ago
13:20
:-D
13:20
<alkisg>
So your ltsp server is a remote one, over http? Are you sure you have enough bandwidth for this?
13:20
E.g. 100mbps line?
13:20
<Guest35216>
locally
13:20
only
13:20
no sorry I have tokering:-D
13:20
sorry 100 Mbits

09:59<Guest34754>hi guys
13:22
09:59 if i run a ltsp server
13:22
10:01 anyone trys to boot a client with to a static server without dhcp?
13:22
No mention about http
13:22
<Guest35216>
not at that time
13:22
yes

13:23
<Guest35216>
i only wanted to push static ips
13:23
now i was interested how this works with static via http
13:23
<alkisg>
OK so now you want to do it with http, too? May I ask why?
13:23
Because you'll lose the lts.conf settings as well
13:23
<Guest35216>
sorry when i dont explained myself probably
13:24
ok
13:24
so you think its better to handle tftp?
13:25
<alkisg>
You never said WHY you want that, so I can't say if it's better or not
13:27
<Guest35216>
accually i thought if i fetch the images i can make it folder like
13:27
for example
13:27
bootpctypeclient/
13:27
..
13:27
and bootpctypeclient2/
13:27
and i don`t have no idea of tftp
13:29
<alkisg>
I didn't understand the reason. Why would you want to make folders? Why are you changing the default installation which uses tftp? Because you don't know how tftp works? Then you'll also change NBD or NFS to HTTP too?
13:29
Which distribution are you using for LTSP?
13:30
<Guest35216>
debian
13:31
<alkisg>
So, to boot the client, you'll need tftp, nfs, inetd, sshfs and a lot of other technologies. Will you replace all those with http?
13:32
The default installation should work for you, there's no need to modify it just because you don't know how a protocol works

Or in sch-scripts with lxde?
13:34
In epoptes all those should work. On the other hand, sch-scripts only support gnome.
13:38
Also there's no "logon" button anywhere, we haven't started designing/implementing teacher-initiated logon yet.

<JerryNJ>
fair enough
14:31
im looking to build a cheap thinclient which will auto boot to an rdp session
14:31
id like to have a hybrid deployment, some CD, some PXE
14:32
ive had some trouble overcoming the quickest easiest method, aside from purchasing new HW
14:34
looking for some guidance
14:35
<alkisg>
The ltsp way is: 1) install ltsp, 2) put SCREEN_07=rdesktop server-ip
14:35
Done
14:35
That's PXE though, it's a bit more difficult to make a bootable CD with LTSP on it, although I once saw one
14:35
The CD is because there's no server around?
14:38
<JerryNJ>
wait a sec
14:38
lets remove the cd from the equation for a moment
14:38
I tried LTSP
14:38
I have a Windows DHCP server
14:38
and I lit up a LTSP box
14:38
but I couldnt get it to boot right
14:39
may I pm?
14:39
<alkisg>
Well, we're here to help you troubleshoot your installation
14:40
Which distro/version are you using?

im checking - btw how do I check?
14:40
i know its on Ubuntu

oh btw, I DONT want to run DHCP from LTSP - we have a Win domain with a DHCP server
15:03
<alkisg>
Well, you do have a dhcpd.conf
15:04
You'd need to uninstall your dhcp server then, and correctly configure your windows dhcp server
15:05
<JerryNJ>

well lets uninstall that then, er whenever your ready

Then at BTS, we can hack hard on polish, and any remaining issues, and get someing issued and stable next November.

er one of you guys
15:58
<alkisg>
JerryNJ: your main problem is a misconfigured windows dhcp server, focus on that question
15:59
You need to set the boot filename AND the next server
15:59
<JerryNJ>
how do I do that?
16:01
<alkisg>
The wiki page I linked above has details, if you can't follow it and noone else here has free time to help you right now, you can probably also ask in #windows, as it's a windows problem, not a linux one
16:03
<sbalneav>
JerryNJ: The link alkisg provided has good instructions. Since you're setting up a windows product (dhcp) there probably won't be many experts on that in this channel. Most of us run exclusively linux.
16:04
JerryNJ: I'd start by reading that wiki page.

sbalneav: the configure for libnss_sshsock is complaining about "aclocal-1.11: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory"
17:01
shouldn't the m4 be included with the sources?
17:02
<sbalneav>
JerryNJ: pastebinit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
17:02
knipwim: Humm, that's something I haven't figured out yet.
17:02
<alkisg>
JerryNJ: are you typing the output by hand, instead of copy/pasting?
17:03
<JerryNJ>
http://pastebin.com/CwHjf218
17:04
<alkisg>
You shouldn't put your windows server ip in that file
17:04
Leave the default 0.0.0.0:69 address
17:04
<JerryNJ>
how do I change that?
17:04
<alkisg>
How did you change it in the first place?
17:04
<JerryNJ>
we had someone who had a tiny wee bit of linux knowledge
17:05
<alkisg>
Ah. :-/
17:05
<JerryNJ>
i wish that person was around to change it back
17:05
but he is not
17:06
so can I edit and change that value?
17:08
<alkisg>
Is your ltsp server a remote one, or are you working directly on it?
17:09
<sbalneav>
JerryNJ: yeah, that's the proble,
17:09
should be 0.0.0.0:69
17:10
JerryNJ: yeah, just edit the file.
17:10
<knipwim>
sbalneav: apparently it's a bug in aclocal
17:11
creating an empty m4 dir before calling aclocal fixed the problem
17:11
<sbalneav>
knipwim: It seems silly that I should have to include an empty directory as part of my "distribution" :)
17:11
<JerryNJ>
ok changed it to 0.0.0.0
17:12
and restarted servrvice
17:12
<sbalneav>
JerryNJ: pastebinit again
17:12
so we can see the file
17:13
<knipwim>
sbalneav: true, i can just as easily include the mkdir in the package
17:14
<JerryNJ>
YAY
17:14
<sbalneav>
knipwim: yeah, but it's more work then for packagers. I'm on the fence on this one.
17:14
<JerryNJ>
it totally worked
17:14
<sbalneav>
JerryNJ: there you go.
17:15
knipwim: Can I GPL an empty directory?
17:15
:)
17:15
<knipwim>
hehe
17:15
<sbalneav>
"I hereby grant you the license to create empty directories, so long as you allow others to do the same"
17:15* alkisg hopes noone patents the space where the universe is contained :P
17:15
<sbalneav>
Where do I put the license?
17:16
mkdir "The GNU GPL v 3.0: This license grants you blah blah blah...."
17:17
<JerryNJ>
thank you guys
17:17
so so much
17:17
whats the default creds for the clients
17:18
<knipwim>
sbalneav: in my experience it's common the put the license in a root LICENSE file
17:18
<alkisg>
JerryNJ: you can use any account that you created on the ltsp server, to login on the clients
17:19
Now the next step for you is to read the lts.conf manpage about setting SCREEN_07=rdesktop in lts.conf
17:19
!lts.conf
17:19
<ltsp>
alkisg: lts.conf: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
17:19
<knipwim>
although gentoo doesn't ship the license file from source, but refers to a know license file in the filesystem

Ack. Now I cant login from the client
17:26
jeez I feel stupid
17:29
<sbalneav>
JerryNJ: has this server changed IP addresses recently?
17:33
alkisg: Is JerryNJ using rdesktop?
17:34
<alkisg>
JerryNJ: I think his goal is to use ltsp as rdesktop clients
17:34
But currently, I don't think he's modified lts.conf yet
17:34
So, ldm/gnome
17:37
<JerryNJ>
i havent modified lts.conf or anything
17:37
no the IP has not changed
17:37
ultimately I just want to launch rdesktop to a specific Win server
17:38
so maybe I can forgo trying to login when the pxe client boots
17:38
<alkisg>
JerryNJ: create the following file: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
17:38
And put the following contents in it:
17:38
[Default]
17:38
<JerryNJ>
how?
17:39
<alkisg>
SCREEN_07=rdesktop
17:39
RDP_SERVER=windows-server-ip
17:39
The same way you edited the tftp file
17:39
What did you use? gedit? vi? nano?
17:39
<JerryNJ>
vi
17:39
<alkisg>
Whatever editor you're familiar with
17:39
Yeah that then
17:40
Save, reboot the client, you should be in your windows server login prompt
17:40
bbl (=be back later)
17:46
<JerryNJ>
i did all rgar
17:47
er did all that
17:47
but it booted to the same ubuntu screen
18:02
<alkisg>
JerryNJ: then you probably have a syntax error, pastebin the file

<JerryNJ>
thank you
18:42
any advice on removing stuff I dont need on the LTSP server?
18:42
the gui is nice, but the purpose of the box is just to rdesktop
18:43
<alkisg>
Yeah you don't even need X on that box. But I wouldn't bother trying to remove all that stuff, too much work for nothing
18:43
You could have started with the ubuntu server cd, or the minimal cd, or something like that
18:45
<JerryNJ>
fair enough
18:45
i will leave it as is
18:51
<knipwim>
nice, libpam-sshauth and libnss-sshsock packaged for gentoo :)
18:55

any idea how I can enable sound from the server to the client
18:55

19:37
<JerryNJ>
anyone know how i can redirect sound from rdesktop to my thin clients?
19:37
<stgraber>
JerryNJ: for drives, ltspfs should do the trick yes, haven't use it in a while so not sure how well it does it at the moment
19:37
I think -r disk:media=/media should do the trick for the drives

try: apt-get update

then: apt-get install ltspfs
20:20
<JerryNJ>
gadi: looks like its installing now , when its done can I add to the -r on the same line as the rdesktop script?
20:21
<Gadi>
JerryNJ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/RdesktopLocaldev
20:21
that should help
20:21
<JerryNJ>
gadi: right now my rdesktop looks likeL
20:21
screen_07=rdesktop -r sound:local
20:22
<Gadi>
yeah, so that won't work at all
20:22
:)
20:22
<JerryNJ>
can I add the -r disk=media...... to this line?
20:22
<Gadi>
what is the IP of the server?
20:22
(the windows server)
20:23
<JerryNJ>
192.168.51.9
20:23
<Gadi>
so there are two ways to specify in lts.conf - your choice. either:
20:23
SCREEN_07 = "rdesktop -r sound:local -r disk:Drives=/media/root 192.168.51.9"
20:24
just like that on one line
20:24
OR:
20:24
RDP_OPTIONS = "-r sound:local -r disk:Drives=/media/root"
20:24papa has joined IRC (papa!~papa@2001:6f8:3f1::1:10)

RDP_SERVER = 192.168.51.9
20:24
SCREEN_07 = rdesktop
20:24
(in 3 lines)
20:25
recently, somebody pushed a change to upstream that does not properly set automatically the params: -f and -u ''
20:25papa is now known as prukker
20:25
<Gadi>
for fullscreen and no username
20:25
so, you *may* need to add those options as well
20:26
<JerryNJ>
and this will map the LOCAL client-side drives?
20:26
<prukker>
(sorry)
20:26

look, you made it into IRC. that's hlaf the battle right there for a Windows guy

20:30
<JerryNJ>
been in irc for years
20:30
btw - clients arent booting now since i changed those params
20:31

can you paste your lts.conf?
20:31

but how do I find which driver to load ? after 120 seconds, it reboots, and I can't login
20:32

prukker: what distro/version?
20:33
<prukker>
I use Suse 11.4, but use a built Suse 11.3
20:33
mmm
20:33
my desktop = Suse 11.4
20:33
my images = 11.3
20:33
<JerryNJ>
can i screenshot this or pastebin it?
20:33
<Gadi>
prukker: suse uses "kiwi-ltsp" which is different enough from ltsp to make it difficult for those of us in #ltsp to support
20:34
JerryNJ: you can pastebinit the file
20:34
prukker: there is a #kiwi-ltsp or #kiwi, I believe
20:34

20:45
<JerryNJ>
which do you like better
20:45
<Gadi>
personally, I am a fan of the one-liner, because you could, if you wanted to, run a completely different rdp session at the same time on a second screen
20:46
but, most folks around here seem to break it up
20:46
I guess they find it more readable
20:49
<JerryNJ>
i used the one-liner
20:49
looks like its working, but hang tight
20:51
so if i wanted to mount usb-drives do you know of anything i could do to detect and mount on the client-side
20:51
<Gadi>
it should work now
20:51
when you go to My Computer,
20:51
<JerryNJ>
it mounts something
20:52
<Gadi>
you should see a "drives on bleh" folder
20:52
<JerryNJ>
says floppy
20:52
lol
20:52
<Gadi>
inside that drives share, a folder is created for each drive
20:52
plug in a flash drive and refresh and you should see a new folder
20:53
(floppy == your client's floppy drive)
20:53
<JerryNJ>
yeah i see drives on ltsp115
20:53
looks like i can write to it
20:53
<Gadi>
do you see folders inside of it?
20:54
<JerryNJ>
working
20:54
yay
20:54
usb printers?
20:54
lol
20:55
<Gadi>
well, printers in ltsp by default are handled differently than rdp normally handles them (tho, I have written some code that at some point needs to go into upstream ltsp to help with that)
20:55
by default, printers in ltsp are redirected to the network as jet-direct printers
20:55
so, on the server side, you would create a queue pointing to the thin client port 9100
20:56
what is not in the default code is anything to automatically create print queues on the client to take adv of auto-redirection through rdp
20:57
<JerryNJ>
Gadi, you have been super helpful
20:57
wish i had a direct line to ask questions if need be
20:58
<Gadi>
#ltsp is your direct line
20:58
:)
20:58
we tend to be super helpful here

20:58
<Gadi>
keep in mind, most of ltsp is designed around connecting to Linux
20:58
it is only guys like me that care about connecting to Windows, too
20:58
:)
20:59
but, as a result, less attention (dev wise) is paid to optimizing for rdp
21:00
that said, with cool and active projects like freerdp taking off, we may see a lot more work pouring in
21:00
<JerryNJ>
one last q
21:00
i know in ltsp.conf i can add some code to bracket a mac address and connect to ANOTHER windows machine
21:01
do you recall that code
21:01xet7 has joined IRC (xet7!~xet7@a91-156-236-175.elisa-laajakaista.fi)
21:01
<Gadi>
sure
21:02
so, think of lts.conf as a .ini file
21:02
(since you are a Windows guy ;) )
21:02
just add another stanza
21:02
[aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff]
21:02
param = value
21:02
where, in the brackets, you put the MAC address
21:03
and underneath you put at least one value
21:03
and the mac address stanzas inherit and override from default
21:04
<JerryNJ>
and if the port is different that it accepts rdp connections from?
21:04
<Gadi>
ah
21:04
one sec
21:04
<JerryNJ>
maybe ip:port
21:04
?
21:04
<Gadi>
you can do: server:port
21:04
yeah
21:04
(just verified)
21:05
if you want options for rdesktop, simply: man rdesktop
21:05
(in a terminal)

does default have to be under the specified MAC entries?

im never sure
21:13

hehe
21:13
<JerryNJ>
i will look
21:13
<Gadi>
oh, and if you used the one-liner in default, make sure you use the same one-liner (with IP changed) in the MAC addy stanza
21:14
because you are in effect overriding the SCREEN_07 param

21:23
'cause if you are, then the problem isn't that change that I made but something else
21:23
<Gadi>
JerryNJ: lets see the latest
21:23
<corewin>
yes on the server i'm runing 10.04 LTS
21:24
<Gadi>
corewin: if you add "break=bottom" to the kernel command line, you can drop into the initramfs
21:24
and from there, you can try to connect to nbd from the initramfs
21:24
to verify that that works
21:24
<corewin>
ok i'll try that

corewin: you can use: nbd-client <server-ip> 2000 /dev/nbd0

<squaregoldfish>
Suddenly, ltsp-update-image do nothing. Not even an error. Can someone help me work out what's wrong please?
21:26
<JerryNJ>
btw - it does boot, and must see the mac, so it ends up at the ubuntu login screen
21:27
<squaregoldfish>
*does nothing
21:27
<Gadi>
JerryNJ: you have SCREEN-07 instead of SCREEN_07 <- typo alert!
21:27
squaregoldfish: distro/version?

squaregoldfish: are you missing your chroots? /opt/ltsp/
21:30
squaregoldfish: and are you running it as: sudo ltsp-update-image
21:30
<squaregoldfish>
No. I can enter chroot and see the full file system. Running as sudo too.,
21:30
gadi: ^
21:31
<Gadi>
squaregoldfish: what changed since you last ran the command?
21:31
did you uninstall something in the chroot?
21:32
<squaregoldfish>
gadi: Updated packages on server, and in the chroot. In the chroot, apt-get listed a bunch of packages to auto-remove, so I did. Must say I didn't check what they were, so it could well be that.
21:32
<Gadi>
squaregoldfish: go back in the chroot, and see if you have ltsp-client
21:32
<JerryNJ>
working like a charm Gadi
21:33
<Gadi>
excellent!
21:33
squaregoldfish: my guess is you removed ltsp-client or ltsp-client-core
21:33
<squaregoldfish>
gadi: It's gone. Silly auto-remove! (Or silly me for trusting it). Anything else I need?
21:33
<Gadi>
squaregoldfish: if you did not make too many modifications, you may be well served to just rerun ltsp-build-client
21:34
squaregoldfish: otherwise, hopefully reinstalling that will do the trick
21:34
:)
21:34
but, not sure
21:34
gotta run

bbian
21:34
<squaregoldfish>
gadi. It's suggested lots of other packages too, so we'll see what happens.....
