<epoptes_user2>
Hello, I just got epoptes up and running; I'm a newbie, and didn't realize that Apache wasn't installed/configured by default on my 12.04 Ubuntu distribution. I don't know how many others run into this problem, but it might be a good step to add to the install instructions (configure and launch apache server)

gah.
01:33
ltsp-trunk is a wreck right now.
01:34
seems like nbd-client -c is borked
01:48
well, workaround committed.

so apparently debian does still boot with 64MB of ram.

vagrantc: init-ltsp.d shouldn't run with set -e, it should restore +e
03:38
:
03:38
That's probably what crashed my booting yesterday at times... thanks for finding out :D
03:39
<vagrantc>
alkisg: it's probably good to do some development running with set -e, to improve our error handling, but then ship with set +e
03:39
<alkisg>
Whooo 20 commits, you've been busy!!!
03:40
<vagrantc>
a lot of them are smallish
03:40cyberorg_ has joined IRC (cyberorg_!~cyberorg@opensuse/member/Cyberorg)
03:40
<alkisg>
For other tools, errors=on is fine, but not for init-ltsp.d, as they're usually not critical, and the client won't boot on the first error. Yup some checking while developing sounds fine.
03:40
<vagrantc>
my usual peer review commits and whatnot
03:41
<alkisg>
I'll be focusing on the packaging today, do you want me to start with the debian packaging and propose changes?
03:41cyberorg has left IRC (cyberorg!~cyberorg@opensuse/member/Cyberorg, Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
03:41
<vagrantc>
could make a bootprompt option for it
03:41
<alkisg>
Good idea
03:41
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i've already got a bunch of packaging commit
03:42
i haven't pushed them yet
03:42
i guess i'll go ahead and push them
03:43
<alkisg>
If you could push them, I'd be of more help today, I don't have anything else to do other than packaging and then testing+bug fixing
03:43
<vagrantc>
there's plenty of testing to do
03:44
<alkisg>
Yes but I won't be sure that I moved around the stuff correctly in my installation unless I have the new packages installed
03:44
<vagrantc>
i couldn't figure out how to switch between NBD and NFS with the current tree ... it seemed to ignore (delete?) update-kernels.conf ?!
03:44
<alkisg>
I only removed the ltsp-update-image portions that overwrote it the whole time
03:45
So no code should be writing update-kernels.conf now, and only update-kernels should be reading it
03:45
The sysadmin is responsible for writing it, if he wants it
03:45
<vagrantc>
manually editing update-kernels.conf and then running update-kernels in the chroot seemed to not work.
03:46
<alkisg>
The changes in update-kernels were minimal... let me see them again...
03:46
<vagrantc>
it always defaults to NFS for me
03:46
<alkisg>
What did you put in update-kernels.conf ?
03:47
<vagrantc>
i forget now exactly... just tweaked the commandline it generated and set it in BOOTPROMPT_OPTS= just like good ol times.
03:48
did ltsp-update-kernels start to pull from images yet?
03:48
it didn't seem to extract anything
03:48
alkisg: pushed my changes

03:49
<vagrantc>
ironically, despite my talking about supporting cross-distro ... i used to only ship common, Debian and Ubuntu ltsp-build-client plugins.
03:49
<alkisg>
vagrantc: I think what happened was that when you run ltsp-update-kernels, it pulled your old pxelinux.cfg/default from the .nbd image, and that's why you didn't see the changes from update-kernels... ?
03:50
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i never managed to get it from boot...
03:50amrullah has left IRC (amrullah!b4f6b8d6@gateway/web/freenode/ip.180.246.184.214)
03:51
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i.e. the tftp dir, and /opt/ltsp/i386/boot and whatever never would generate a pxelinux.cfg other than NFS
03:52
alkisg: i even ran update-kernels with set -x and it would look for the config file, and just plain not bother to read it...
03:52
it was mind boggling.
03:52
my brain is mush after all this
03:52
<alkisg>
The changes in update-kernels were minimal, I don't see anything that would break BOOTPROMPT_OPTS handling...
03:52
<vagrantc>
me neither
03:53
took me a long time to figure out it was a "set -e" issue messing with init-ltsp
03:53
<alkisg>
ltsp-update-kernels does read /boot from within the nbd images for me, and to tell the truth it's currently a little annoying because I can't change $chroot/etc/update-kernels.conf and run update-kernels + ltsp-update-kernels to update TFTP, as it will get the old one from the NBD image, so I need ltsp-update-image too
03:54
<vagrantc>
yeah.
03:54
<alkisg>
If we'll continue with the symlinks, maybe we can have ltsp-update-kernels preserve the command line specified in TFTP pxelinux
03:54
<vagrantc>
writeable images...
03:55
<alkisg>
Or maybe the real /boot should be preferred over the nbd one, even if that might cause kernel mismatches
03:55
<vagrantc>
it certainly would be simpler.
03:56trubbor has joined IRC (trubbor!~trubbor@173-21-2-181.client.mchsi.com)
03:56
<alkisg>
With the pxelinux menus package, all this functionality will go there, so it'll be simpler then
03:57
An ltsp plugin will read the chroot configuration for supported command lines, and update everything. But I didn't like the "update configuration" inside ltsp-update-image, it made no sense and it didn't work for nfs
03:58
We could ship an "ltsp-set-cmdline" utility... but it sounds like overkill
03:58
vagrantc: could you give me the link to your packaging again, so as to not have to search through the logs?
03:59
<vagrantc>
alkisg: do you have an alioth account?
03:59
<alkisg>
I don't think so, can I just make one?
03:59* vagrantc always forgets the anonymous addresses
03:59
<vagrantc>
alkisg: you could
03:59
alkisg: but for the moment, i'll dig up a URL so you don't have to jump through those hoops
04:00
<alkisg>
OK
04:00
<vagrantc>
alkisg: bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-ltsp/ltsp-debian-packaging/ is tthe writeable URL
04:00
<alkisg>
writeable?
04:01
<vagrantc>
yeah, if you want push access
04:01
doh. it's in the packaging.
04:01
<alkisg>
Let me create an alioth account...
04:01
<vagrantc>
nosmart+http://anonscm.debian.org/bzr/pkg-ltsp/ltsp-debian-packaging/
04:01
that's for read access

<alkisg>
Done
04:07
<vagrantc>
oh noo, now i have to remember how to log in
04:09
<alkisg>
The -guest part was a little annoying... I had to put alkisg-guest instead of alkisg
04:11
Heh, lots of spam in the mailing list
04:14
Can I remove the -guest from my account? Or I need to be something more, e.g. a DM, to do that?

Thanks, ouch, I have a lot to learn today about merging stuff...
04:46
<vagrantc>
alkisg: so now the bzr+ssh URLs ought to work for ya.
04:47
alkisg: i highly recommend bzr rebase- though not for publicly pushed branches.
04:48
<alkisg>
vagrantc: ...I think you overestimate my bzr knowledge :D So, if I find small errors and I need to push them, should I push them to the Ubuntu branch and notify you that they need to be in the Debian branch too, or should I push them in the bzr+ssh URL, or read about rebase?
04:48
<stgraber>
alkisg: that probably should be lp:ubuntu/ltsp or ubuntu:ltsp (alias). To get specific releases you can use ubuntu:precise/ltsp (equivalent of lp:ubuntu/precise/ltsp)
04:49
<vagrantc>
alkisg: rebase is useful if someone commits on a branch while you committed locally and they don't conflict.
04:49

anyway, it's almost 1am here, I guess I should try and get some sleep :)

05:07shamino has joined IRC (shamino!shamino@hilla.kapsi.fi)
05:07
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i know.
05:08
<alkisg>
Is there need for --skip-image?
05:08
<vagrantc>
alkisg: part of what i think the nbf configuration should be separated into a separate script.
05:08
<alkisg>
I thought it'd be best if ltsp-update-image actually only generated the image...
05:09
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i'm find with that, but i need to have a way to configure NBD without generating an image.
05:10
i mean, i guess i don't *have* to, i could build a chroot and then copy the files ... but that seems wasteful.
05:10
<alkisg>
vagrantc: nbd now doesn't need the chroot name in the command line, it gets it from the dhcp rootpath.. what would you like to configure?
05:11
<vagrantc>
alkisg: /etc/nbd-server/*
05:11
<alkisg>
Ah, you mean the nbd-server configuration files? Should we extract those to a separate tool? What's your use case?
05:11
<vagrantc>
alkisg: my used case it building an ext2 NBD image loop-mounted at build time.
05:12
<alkisg>
Gotcha, let me think about it...
05:13
It's the same case as if someone transfers the chroot from somewhere else and wants the nbd-server configuration for that
05:13
<vagrantc>
sure

05:19
<alkisg>
I think a separate tool would be best, /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-config-nbd
05:20
Or ltsp-update-image --config-nbd <no parameters>, or ltsp-update-image --skip-image, to minimize changes, ok
05:21bauerski has joined IRC (bauerski!~witekb@frodo.psp.opole.pl)
05:23
<vagrantc>
alkisg: so, i also want to be able to configure only NBD swap.
05:23
for NFS root + NBD swap.
05:23* alkisg votes for a separate tool then
05:24
<alkisg>
I don't think ltsp-update-image should be ever called in NFS installations
05:24
<vagrantc>
seems reasonable.
05:24Lns has joined IRC (Lns!~Lns@pdpc/supporter/professional/lns)
05:25
<Lns>
LTSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!
05:25
<alkisg>
Hehe hi Lns, long time no see :)
05:25* vagrantc waves to Lns
05:28
<alkisg>
ltsp-update-image would have the "--config-nbd" check, in order to warn inexperienced users about switching from nfs to nbd, while ltsp-config-nbd wouldn't check/warn
05:29* Lns waves to alkisg and vagrantc
05:30
<Lns>
how's shtuff been guys?
05:30
<vagrantc>
alkisg: after running ltsp-config-nbd ltsp-update-image wouldn't bother to check.
05:31
<alkisg>
vagrantc: Sure, the checks are the same, if at least some nbd-server configuration exists (other than swap) then ltsp-update-image doesn't prompt
05:31
(check)
05:31
(err die)
05:31
So if you enable nbd swap on debian, and then run ltsp-update-image, it still halts
05:32
But if you create at least one nbd export, then it no longer complains
05:37
<vagrantc>
sounds reasonable.
05:37
alkisg: also, i think the check in ltsp-update-image looks for ltsp_swap.conf but it just creates swap.conf
05:37
alkisg: i think we should name it ltsp_swapa
05:38
alkisg: oh, also, can't pass nbdroot=dhcp and use root-path /opt/ltsp/i386
05:38
<alkisg>
vagrantc: the idea was that sysadmins would prefer only one network swap even for non-ltsp installations
05:38
<vagrantc>
alkisg: as nbd needs serverip:/opt/ltsp/i386 to work.
05:38
alkisg: they can do both of that.
05:38
<alkisg>
The ltsp_swap check there was just in case you decided to name it ltsp_swap.conf on debian
05:39
<vagrantc>
alkisg: or rather, why do we define how their swap will be configured?
05:40
<alkisg>
...not sure what you mean... we need a swap, but it can be used from non-ltsp clients too, that's why I thought that omitting the ltsp_ was better. If you think ltsp_swap.conf makes more sense, sure lets change it and provide an upgrade check
05:40
(08:38:33 πμ) vagrantc: alkisg: as nbd needs serverip:/opt/ltsp/i386 to work. => why?
05:41
<vagrantc>
alkisg: because that's how yoe coded it, and was resistant to making it more flexible.
05:41
<alkisg>
It can get the serverip from ROOTSERVER, I'm not getting the problem
05:41
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i kind of think it would be better to stick with the syntax used in 12.04...
05:42
oh, i suppose so.
05:43
<alkisg>
We shouldn't need to define nbdroot=dhcp at all, same as we don't need to define ip=dhcp, as dhcp is the default fallback anyway
05:43
The current command line to netboot nbd is: append ro initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/nbd0 init=/sbin/init-ltsp
05:43
The previous one had nbdroot=:ltsp_i386 there, the change is that that part is not needed anymore, as it can also be read from dhcp
05:44
And one can put the server-ip in dhcp too, if he needs it
05:44
(or even a custom port too)
05:46
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i don't think it works without nbdroot defined.
05:46
<alkisg>
vagrantc: I booted with that
05:46
<vagrantc>
huh.
05:46
well, maybe that works then :)
05:47
<alkisg>
:)
05:48* vagrantc will try it some other time.
05:49
<alkisg>
I even put code in Ubuntu's udhcp to set a default rootpath based on initramfs /conf/arch.conf when a rootpath is not defined in dhcp (e.g. proxydhcp mode), that worked fine too

vagrantc: I'm going to put a common function for debug, which will also check in /proc/cmdline if ltsp_debug=$0 in order to automatically activate debugging, so e.g. we'd put ltsp_debug=init-ltsp
06:04
I'd prefer ltsp.debug=, to match the other kernel parameters, but I think you preferred ltsp_debug instead?

06:56
Btw I started putting an equal sign after the parameters that accept options, other tools normally use "param=<value>" in the usage, but that's too long and usually redudant, so I went for "param=" or plain "param" that also kernels-parameters.txt uses.
06:58

<odicha>
Hi all!
15:45
I'm not a ltsp expert, so not sure if I'm wrong at all
15:46
edubuntu 12.04 out of the box - If I use a bios rom I can boot client, but if I use a etherboot o gpxe disk image it doesn´t boot.
15:47
<alkisg>
Did you try a recent gpxe disk, or a very old etherboot one?
15:47
<odicha>
it remains stuck at done after loading nbi.img (etherboot) or it says aborted after loading pxelinux.cfg/default
15:47
<alkisg>
Gpxe should load pxelinux.0, not nbi.img
15:48
nbi.img is broken, it hasn't worked for years
15:48
<odicha>
ok
15:48
<alkisg>
!gpxe
15:48
<ltsp`>
alkisg: gpxe: the successor to etherboot (http://etherboot.org). To download bootable floppy, cd, usb, kernel etc images, visit http://rom-o-matic.net/
15:48
<alkisg>
!ipxe
15:48
<ltsp`>
alkisg: ipxe: iPXE is the successor to the etherboot/gPXE project, and can be used to netboot clients that don't have a NIC ROM with a PXE stack. To add it to grub, see !grub-ipxe. To add it to the Windows boot loader, see !win32-loader. To download floppy, CD or USB images, visit http://ipxe.org or install the ipxe package.
15:48
<odicha>
ok
15:48
<alkisg>
!win32-loader
15:48
<ltsp`>
alkisg: win32-loader: win32-loader.exe can be used to add a "PXE - Network boot" option to the Windows boot manager. It's developed for Debian and it uses gPXE/iPXE for the network booting. You can download a binary from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/win32-loader/unstable/ (if someone can write a wiki page about it it'd be nice :))
15:48
<alkisg>
Etc etc
15:48
<odicha>
ok
15:48
I'll try ipxe
15:48
<alkisg>
OK
15:49
<odicha>
It fails using gPXE too
15:49
so next try :)
15:49
thanks all!!
15:50
<alkisg>
What gpxe version?
15:50
<odicha>
mmmm 1.0.1
15:50
using an oldie rtl8029as
15:51
it loads pxelinux.0
15:51
<alkisg>
Right, and then what happens?
15:51
<odicha>
then it loads pxelinux.cfg/default
15:51
then it says "aborted"
15:51
<alkisg>
pxelinux has problems with some BIOSes and thinks that the user pressed esc or ctrl to abort
15:51
<odicha>
just after loading ok pxelinux.cfg/default
15:52
I'm burning ipxe iso ... fast test...
15:52
<alkisg>
Try replacing the keyboard (at one case the user had esc pressed by a book!) etc
15:52
OK
15:52
<odicha>
not at all
15:53
I have a full lab here, I get same result in ten different pcs, different nics, etc
15:53
perhaps something related to 3.x kernel??
15:54
ups
15:54
<alkisg>
pxelinux runs before the kernel is loaded
15:54
<odicha>
same error using ipxe
15:55
<alkisg>
I think there's a setting in pxelinux to ignore user input
15:55
<odicha>
two edubuntu "out of the box" (32 bit kernels)
15:55
<alkisg>
Try setting that one, if you don't find it in the syslinux wiki, ask in #syslinux
15:55
<odicha>
it aborts just after loading pxelinux.cfg/default
15:55
<alkisg>
Also try with a different pxelinux.0 version, maybe somehow your copy is broken
15:56
And finally remove quiet splash
15:56
!quiet-splash
15:56
<ltsp`>
alkisg: quiet-splash: to disable the splash screen in Ubuntu, in order to see any boot error messages, run `sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default` and remove quiet splash .
15:56
<odicha>
ok
15:56
<alkisg>
Because it might turn out that it's not pxelinux that aborts, but something else

OK, try what I said above about disabling the user input in syslinux
16:02

I've heard one case with that problem. Also try a different pxelinux.0 version. bbl.

<alkisg>
vagrantc: I didn't get to testing yet, but the only small changes I saw related to packaging was some extra slashes in debian/*.install (e.g. /usr/bin instead of usr/bin/),
19:25
and an issue with ltsp-server.examples:client/localapps/doc/examples/*, which should go to the client after all, since they're intented to be used as LTSP_LOCALAPPS_MENU_ITEMS,
19:25
maybe an init-ltsp.d can symlink them to /usr/share/applications when LTSP_FATCLIENT=false
19:27
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i want to consistantly use /usr/bin/ but wanted to only change lines that were already changed to minimize the diff. eventually, i'd like to make them all consistant.
19:27
<alkisg>
Also the `set -e` in ltsp-common-functions breaks the ldm script, we need to either fix the ldm script or to not set -e in common functions...
19:27
vagrantc: I thought the correct was usr/bin/ instead?
19:28
<vagrantc>
alkisg: really old versions of debhelper explode with /usr/bin/ but i think it reads easier.
19:28
alkisg: and when i mean old, i think before ubuntu existed
19:28
<alkisg>
I think I read it somewhere that those are recommented to be relative paths, not sure where, maybe in a debhelper manpage...
19:30
Also if you'll ever do changes without caring about the diff, it might be better to sort files like *.install... easier to read + merge

After issuing sudo apt-get install build-dep ltsp, I also needed to manually install dh-autoreconf ...

Ah autogen.sh doesn't get called
20:41* alkisg doesn't know why, but after manually running ./autogen.sh in nbd-proxy and in localapps, the build succeeded
20:41
<alkisg>
Now let's see the .deb file contents...
20:53
<vagrantc>
alkisg: use dh_autoreconf
20:53
<alkisg>
vagrantc: I'm using your debian/rules unmodified
20:53
<vagrantc>
huh.
20:53
"works for me"
20:53
alkisg: and you've got dh-autoreconf installed?
20:55
<alkisg>
vagrantc: http://paste.debian.net/168973/
20:55
autogen.sh seems to get called only for the parent directory, not for nbd-proxy or localapps
20:55
Dunno why
20:56
<vagrantc>
the autogen.sh in the parent directory calls the others
20:56
<alkisg>
A set -x might help, but I'll look into it later, for now I ran them manually
20:57
<vagrantc>
maybe we should put set -x in all our autogen.sh scripts
20:57
<alkisg>
So basically from your debian/rules we only need to add the ltsp-live stuff and the ltsp-client-core upstart job
20:57
<vagrantc>
and then we'll be nearly in sync?

20:59
<vagrantc>
don't you also need to add the various Ubuntu/* in the various *.install files?
20:59
<alkisg>
Not in sync at all, about half of the files in debian/ couldn't be synced
20:59
:)
20:59
<vagrantc>
?
21:00
what are y'all doing so differently?
21:00
<alkisg>
E.g.: ltsp-client-core.manpages: we also have client/getltscfg-cluster/getltscfg-cluster.1
21:00
<vagrantc>
gah, gotta roll... more llater.
21:00
<alkisg>
ltsp-client-core.examples: we don't have sdm and nodm
21:00
Etc etc
21:00
bb
21:02
<vagrantc>
any reason not to include those examples?
21:02
they are, after all, just examples
21:03
<alkisg>
The ubuntu debian/ dir doesn't have debian/doc
21:04
(don't know if there's any reason not to have it)
21:23
stgraber: I couldn't do debian/rules and I had to work around it in order to continue, but other than that, only a few things remain. Some notes: http://paste.debian.net/168981/
21:24
If you could finish it whenever you have some time for it, I'd appreciate it as I want to continue with adding/testing ltsp-server-dnsmasq
21:27
<stgraber>
alkisg: I'll try to do it soon, I have an action item to move the ltsp-live stuff out of the package and into its own edubuntu-netboot package, so that should help a bit
21:27
<alkisg>
Cool, thanks a lot

vagrantc, stgraber: Hmm if ltsp-server-standalone recommented isc-dhcp-server | dnsmasq, and a user had dnsmasq installed before installing ltsp-server-standalone, then there wouldn't really be need for an ltsp-server-dnsmasq package, but just for an ltsp-config --dnsmasq script
21:40
We could also put more options in that ltsp-config script to configure dhcp3, nbd swap only (e.g. for NFS+NBD) etc
21:41
The postinst scripts could use it too, e.g. if -x dhcp3; then ltsp-config --dhcp3; else if -d /etc/dnsmasq.d; then ltsp-config --dnsmasq; etc etc
21:42
It would even be easier to switch between dhcp3 or dnsmasq
21:43* alkisg will work on such a script tomorrow
