| |
00:03 | <vagrantc> that's not really LTSP ... that'd be VNC, NX or RDP.
| |
00:04 | LTSP can be used to log into servers using those protocols.
| |
00:05 | * vagrantc just recently discovered xprintidle! | |
00:05 | <vagrantc> xprintidle is so useful for detecting idle sessions and getting them to log out.
| |
00:06 | well, it shows you how long a session has been idle, and then you can write scripts that do things based on that.
| |
00:17 | <Phantomas> maybe a "Log out idle users" option in epoptes would be useful...
| |
00:17 | but I'm not sure
| |
00:17 | <vagrantc> Phantomas: not a terrible idea...
| |
00:18 | although you'd want it to be configurable somehow
| |
00:18 | <hays> vagrantc: VNC itself doesn't seem to support anything too sophisticated.. it seems something would have to wrap around it
| |
00:20 | <Phantomas> vagrantc: It's not difficult, we could have an idleMinutes option in our config file
| |
00:22 | vagrantc: btw, I also wanted to add support for scheduled operations (shut down/WoL after 5 pm everyday e.g.) but alkisg didn't like the idea :P
| |
00:22 | <vagrantc> Phantomas: ah well :)

00:48 | <map7> I'm trying to setup a fat-client under mythbuntu 12.04 and the client has recently stopped booting with the error 'PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout'
| |
00:48 | when I search for this error all the results seem very old and out of date
| |
00:49 | If I restart the tftpd-hpa it starts working
| |
00:51 | But it doesn't work when I reboot the server
| |
00:51 | even though tftp-hpa is running when the server is started
| |
00:52 | Do I have to somehow tell tftp-hpa to wait until everything is loaded before starting up?

06:00 | * vagrantc wavves | |
06:01 | <vagrantc> i'm only partially here... my attention is mostly elsewhere
| |
06:09 | <Hyperbyte> mhm... does anyone know how Gnome determines which applications to send a terminate signal on logout?
| |
06:10 | I have an windowed application (let's call it A) which is started during Gnome login, and that application in turn launches a daemon (B) which does some of the behind-the-scenes work for the application.
| |
06:10 | On Gnome logout, A is terminated, but B keeps running in the background.
| |
06:11 | I know Gnome watchdog can probably 'solve' this problem for me, but I'd rather get it fixed permanently for everyone. So I'm talking to the developers, and they tell me they've now configured the daemon to handle SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGINT.
| |
06:12 | I'm wondering - is this enough? Will Gnome send this program a signal at all, since it's windowless and it wasn't Gnome that started it?
| |
06:21 | <alkisg> Hyperbyte: apps are required to tell gnome that they want to block logout, here's a starting point for your google adventure: http://people.gnome.org/~mccann/gnome-session/docs/gnome-session.html#org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibitor

06:24 | <jimjimovich> does anyone have a link to instructions for building a fat client image with Ubuntu 12.04? I can't get the ones on the wiki to work.
| |
06:24 | <alkisg> !ltsp-pnp | echo jimjimovich
| |
06:24 | <ltsp`> jimjimovich ltsp-pnp: ltsp-pnp is an alternative (upstream) method to maintain LTSP installations for thin and fat clients that doesn't involve chroots: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
| |
06:27 | <Hyperbyte> alkisg, mmm... so the best solution here would be to make application A (which is registered in the session) send a terminate signal to the UI-independant daemon B.
| |
06:28 | <alkisg> Hyperbyte: yes, if the deamon doesn't know how to register itself in the session, someone should send it a terminate signal, might as well be app A
| |
06:29 | Hyperbyte: actually I read through your question too fast previously, so you weren't looking for inhibitors but for session registration, but the same ^ conclusion applies
| |
06:30 | I.e. you don't want the daemon to block logout but just to receive a termination signal, but again for this to occur the daemon must know how to register itself in the session
| |
06:30 | E.g. the user dbus isn't a graphical app but does register itself in the session
| |
06:30 | (while evolution-data-center doesn't, and remains after logout)
| |
06:33 | Session registration is not gnome-specific, session inhibiting is DE specific
| |
06:38 | <Hyperbyte> mhmmm....
| |
06:38 | I've sent my mail to the developers now anyways, so... :)

| |
07:34 | vagrantc: what's your cmdline like?
| |
07:34 | (without ltsp)
| |
07:35 | Does it contain "ltsp" anywhere?
| |
07:35 | vagrantc: err basically let's start with "how far it goes", it doesn't run any init-ltsp.d bits , right?
| |
07:36 | * alkisg fires up his debian/lxde vm... | |
07:36 | <vagrantc> i didn't troubleshoot it too far yet... but the symptop was it wasn't detectinng lvm in the initramfs ... i managed to boot with an older kernel, purged ltsp-client-core, and it rebooted fine...
| |
07:37 | i don't see how it could be interfering with that...
| |
07:37 | <alkisg> vagrantc: cat /proc/cmdline then, what's the output, maybe we'll get some idea what part of the initramfs hangs with it
| |
07:37 | <tarzeau_> was ldm changed so one can't choose a machine if it's load balanced?
| |
07:38 | <vagrantc> alkisg: no "ltsp" on my boot commandline.
| |
07:40 | <alkisg> vagrantc: I'm firing up my debian sid vm to test, you don't have a repo somewhere right? I'll use the ltsp-pnp ppa...

07:47 | <vagrantc> it's been busy
| |
07:54 | ok, so i'm going to install ltsp-client-core again, and see if that breaks it...
| |
07:57 | alkisg: my guess ... it has MODULES=netboot
| |
07:58 | <alkisg> Why would additional modules break anything?
| |
07:58 | <vagrantc> alkisg: for the initramfs ... which means no disks.
| |
07:58 | <alkisg> Hrm
| |
07:58 | <vagrantc> alkisg: it means "only netboot" modules.
| |
07:58 | <alkisg> Missing lvm module might be the reason, yeah
| |
07:58 | <vagrantc> no disks show up
| |
07:59 | <alkisg> But I wonder why _my_ system boots properly then
| |
07:59 | <vagrantc> so, that's an RC bug that i think is currently present in wheezy.
| |
07:59 | alkisg: ubuntu or debian?
| |
07:59 | <alkisg> Ubuntu, let me check "MODULES"...
| |
07:59 | The debian vm hasn't updated yet
| |
08:00 | The same, MODULES=netboot
| |
08:01 | <vagrantc> ubuntu might behave differently with those settings
| |
08:03 | yup, that fixes it
| |
08:04 | <alkisg> Meh from ifupdown changelog: ...calls the scripts with IFACE=--all
| |
08:04 | I bet that'll break a lot of if-up scripts...
| |
08:05 | <vagrantc> so, from initramfs.conf manpage: "netboot adds the base and network modules, but skips block devices."
| |
08:05 | <alkisg> Yeah I wondered about that in the past too
| |
08:05 | But since it caused no problems on Ubuntu, I ignored it
| |
08:05 | I think "most" now does include network devices though, does it not?
| |
08:05 | <vagrantc> i don't know if "most" includes network drivers...
| |
08:06 | <alkisg> Well initramfs-tools does contain a function to install all network modules, maybe we can use that instead
| |
08:07 | <vagrantc> oh, that would be useful.
| |
08:07 | well, i figured out that dillema for the moment.

11:38 | <muppis> vmlintu, do you have something special in image (like wlan settings) or why not just use ipxe in grub?
| |
11:39 | <vmlintu> muppis: ipxe?
| |
11:40 | <muppis> http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/grub-ipxe
| |
11:40 | <vmlintu> I was just testing how to get the whole fat client image installed locally..
| |
11:41 | to reduce network requirements
| |
11:41 | <muppis> Ah, I see the point. I use thin like that in my laptop.
| |
11:42 | <vmlintu> have you copied the chroot image on the hard drive?
| |
11:43 | <muppis> Yes, and removed any nbd related from initrd.
| |
11:43 | So it really loads from hdd, not over network.
| |
11:43 | <vmlintu> where do you have vmlinuz and initrd? on the hard drive?
| |
11:43 | <muppis> Yes, like usual local system.
| |
11:44 | As well lts.conf.
| |
11:44 | <vmlintu> so you have /boot directory on the boot partition?
| |
11:46 | <muppis> In same as other chroot. Just dropped on hdd, removed nbd scripts from initrd, rebuilded it and installed grub.
| |
11:47 | <vmlintu> do you have i386.img file on the hard drive as a single file?
| |
11:47 | or files copied to a partition?
| |
11:47 | <muppis> No, as /dev/sda1
| |
11:47 | To a partition.
| |
11:48 | <vmlintu> ok.. what I was testing now was to have the image file as-is in single file and boot directly from it
| |
11:48 | there was no need to remove nbd scripts either
| |
11:49 | <muppis> I think there's no any if it's a fat.
| |
11:50 | <vmlintu> I was just wondering if others have been testing similar setups and what the pros and cons of them would be..
| |
11:50 | Parker955_Away is now known as Parker955 | |
11:50 | <muppis> Mind me. Ofcourse there is.
| |
11:51 | Because it assumes it still booting over network.
| |
11:51 | mmetzger has left IRC (mmetzger!~mmetzger@99-71-214-196.lightspeed.mdldtx.sbcglobal.net, Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | |
11:52 | <muppis> Then it makes a nbd connection and continues loading from there.
| |
11:52 | <vmlintu> if you remove the nbd stuff from kernel command line, it doesn't try that
| |
11:52 | <muppis> Isn't there any defaults?
| |
11:53 | Haven't looked much how 12.04 is changed.
| |
11:53 | mmetzger has joined IRC (mmetzger!~mmetzger@99-71-214-196.lightspeed.mdldtx.sbcglobal.net) | |
11:54 | <muppis> If it doesn't need network during boot, you should able to boot up to ldm without network.
| |
11:54 | <vmlintu> if it gets a root partition mounted properly, it seems to be happy
| |
11:54 | it still runs dhclient, so it needs network
| |
11:55 | <muppis> But dhclient is not in initrd, so it can timeout.
| |
11:55 | And doesn't affect rest of booting if doing locally.
| |
11:58 | <alkisg> vmlintu: grub2 booted directly from the .img?!
| |
12:00 | vmlintu: I think the easiest way would be to netboot the kernel+initrd, and then mount the nbd file from the local disk

12:02 | <vmlintu> alkisg: yes, grub2 installed on mbr loads the kernel from the .img
| |
12:02 | it even finds the .img file from the partition automatically, so the name can change
| |
12:03 | <alkisg> vmlintu: so what, you just drop the .nbd file in an ext4 partition in /, and it finds it?
| |
12:03 | But, don't you need a /boot folder for grub anyway?
| |
12:04 | <vmlintu> yes.. or actually I was testing with ext3
| |
12:04 | /boot needs to be there, but it never needs to be updated as there's no kernel or initrd there
| |
12:05 | <alkisg> So you have a local installtion, you run update-grub, and it checks every single file in / in case it's a loopback image, without you specifying anything? cool!
| |
12:05 | <vmlintu> no need to run update-grub
| |
12:05 | grub actually finds the file dynamically
| |
12:06 | so you just drop a new file and boot, no need to do anything else
| |
12:06 | <alkisg> vmlintu: you can just install ltsp-client on the local installation, no need to use nbd
| |
12:07 | ...and put a "boot ltsp" additional grub entry
| |

12:08 | <vmlintu> alkisg: now I lost you - what do you refer to with installing ltsp-client?
| |
12:08 | <alkisg> vmlintu: in that local disk of yours, do you have an OS where grub is installed?
| |
12:08 | <vmlintu> no
| |
12:08 | <alkisg> So you installed it manually?
| |
12:08 | (grub)
| |
12:08 | <vmlintu> with grub-install
| |
12:09 | <alkisg> From a live cd? Nice. What I'm saying is that you can have local installations that use the ltsp methods to boo,
| |
12:09 | boot,
| |
12:09 | offering central settings with lts.conf and the other usual ltsp benefits (authentications, /home)
| |
12:10 | without involving nbd at all. If you want, you can rsync the chroot too, sure
| |
12:10 | <vmlintu> I booted with pxe, partitioned the hard drive, installed grub with grub-install and copied custom grub.cfg and finally copied the i386.img file to the partition as a single file
| |
12:11 | <alkisg> Gotcha
| |
12:11 | <vmlintu> so the partition has /boot directory with some grub files and a single i386.img file
| |
12:12 | <alkisg> It's amazing that grub looks inside that file
| |
12:12 | No kernel in /boot, right?
| |
12:12 | <vmlintu> you need grub 2.00 for that.. 1.99 in ubuntu doesn't work
| |
12:12 | no kernel in /boot
| |
12:12 | <alkisg> And it's also weird that it has support for squashfs images
| |
12:12 | <vmlintu> yep
| |
12:12 | <alkisg> I wonder if it can do that with ntfs too, i.e. to do the same thing from a windows setup
| |
12:13 | <vmlintu> I think there was an ntfs module in grub2
| |
12:16 | you can actually write all kinds of things in the grub programming language
| |
12:16 | <alkisg> ...then a windows application that rsyncs nbd images is in order :P
| |
12:16 | Nah just kidding
| |
12:17 | You can do that while the client boots, rsync the nbd image

| |
14:51 | <alkisg> vmlintu: no
| |
14:52 | mgariepy has left IRC (mgariepy!mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy, Ping timeout: 245 seconds) | |
14:53 | <vmlintu> we've been using the ltsp-cluster lts.conf loading script on 10.04 with puavo ldap backed server part, but that breaks when image is installed locally
| |
14:53 | <alkisg> I've never even seen ltsp-cluster, no idea about it
| |
14:54 | <vmlintu> we've been just using the script that loads lts.conf over http
| |
14:55 | I was even thinking of putting lts.conf info in TXT records in DNS..
| |
14:59 | <alkisg> Why?
| |
14:59 | IMHO lts.conf should be a bit private, e.g. to be able to send LDM_USERNAME and LDM_PASSWORD to a specific client without the other clients knowing about it
| |
15:00 | <vmlintu> no need to run special server process to serve the configurations
| |
15:00 | <alkisg> The tftp daemon is running anyway, it's not a special process
| |
15:00 | But in the future I'd like to merge the whole ltsp configuration with lts.conf and ldminfod in a single daemon
| |
15:01 | <vmlintu> we have no actual lts.conf file anywhere as it is created from LDAP dynamically
| |
15:01 | it's the same concept as in ltsp-cluster
| |
15:02 | there should be no need for LDM_PASSWORD if you configure PAM on the server to login the user without checking password
| |
15:02 | NeonLicht has left IRC (NeonLicht!~NeonLicht@darwin.ugr.es, Quit: Lost terminal) | |
15:05 | <alkisg> That would allow anyone on the local network to login as that user though
| |
15:05 | I'd prefer for lts.conf to be transformed into a set of shell files under /etc/ltsp/lts.conf.d
| |
15:06 | And "expand" ldminfod to serve those along with the rest of the server info
| |
15:06 | <vmlintu> So the scripts would be run when the client requests for the information?
| |
15:07 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
15:07 | So you'd be able to run code in the server to dynamically decide lts.conf settings per client
| |
15:07 | <vmlintu> That'd allow nice LDAP integration also
| |
15:08 | <alkisg> Sure, and load balancing based on arbitrary criteria, and lots of other things
| |
15:09 | <vmlintu> With libpam_exec you can create a script that checks that the connection comes from the right client before letting the user login
| |
15:09 | LDM_PASSWORD can be read by anyone anyway..
| |
15:09 | <alkisg> It depends on how you're sending it
| |
15:11 | <vmlintu> is there a way to verify the client?
| |
15:11 | <alkisg> It's the "secure boot" problem...
| |
15:12 | Normally you'd want some key stored on the client itself
| |
15:12 | Maybe one could use some motherboard info for that
| |
15:14 | <vmlintu> maybe some locally installed boot component that checks certificates or something like that
| |
15:15 | instead of using normal PXE, it would run some "trusted pxe"
| |
15:15 | <alkisg> Right, I think ipxe has some codes about secure boot
| |
15:23 | <vmlintu> I guess I'll dig next in to replacing ldm with lightdm
| |
15:23 | I really haven't gone through the internals of ldm yet to know what'd need to be done for that
| |
15:24 | <alkisg> vmlintu: first sbalneav should finish the libpam_sshauth pam module
| |
15:24 | <vmlintu> I'll be using pam_krb5 for authentication
| |
15:24 | <alkisg> Once that is done, the chroot should be configured to use it, so any pam-aware DM can use ssh as the authentication mechanism
| |
15:25 | Then, ldminfod should be queried, and /usr/share/xsession/desktop files should be generated for lightdm to see them
| |
15:25 | Those would appear in the "select session" DM menu
| |
15:25 | And then the ssh channel generated by libpam_sshauth would be reused to launch the session on the server
| |
15:26 | It's not a matter of authentication only, you need to have ssh access to the server to launch a session, does pam_krb5 allow that?
| |
15:27 | <vmlintu> once you have the kerberos ticket, you can launch ssh connection without anything being asked
| |
15:27 | sshd supports GSSAPI
| |
15:28 | the same ticket can be used to mount home directory over nfs4+krb5
| |
15:29 | <alkisg> vmlintu: does pam_krb5 also provide nss services?
| |
15:29 | I.e. getent passwd user locally on the client should return an uid/gid...
| |
15:29 | <vmlintu> nss_ldapd should handle that
| |
15:29 | it supports also GSSAPI for authentication
| |
15:30 | <alkisg> Right but ldap isn't easy for everyone, that's why sbalneav tries to handle that with plain ssh
| |
15:30 | <vmlintu> We are actually using those for fat clients with 10.04 already
| |
15:30 | <alkisg> I too asked him if it would be easier to just use ldap instead, he said no
| |
15:30 | Well if you manage to somehow automate all that I'm sure it would be welcomed upstream in ltsp
| |
15:32 | <vmlintu> If it works with pam-krb5 + nss-ldapd, it should work with pam-ssh + nss-ssh with pam/nss configuration changes only
| |
15:32 | <alkisg> Removing (or at least making optional) LDM is one of the goals of LTSP 6 I think

18:07 | some hardware is ... funny.
| |
18:07 | <jimjimovich> vagrantc: is there a way to disable that?
| |
18:09 | <vagrantc> you can use XRANDR_* options in lts.conf i think, but i don't really know the exact info off the top of my head
| |
18:10 | <alkisg> XRANDR_OUTPUT_0="LVDS-1 --off" or similar, I guess
| |
18:11 | <_UsUrPeR_> there was a pxelinux.cfg/DEFAULT setting too
| |
18:11 | exact nomenclature slips my mind.
| |
18:11 | <alkisg> video:lvds-1:off or something
| |
18:11 | <_UsUrPeR_> and of course, that stops working when ltsp-update-kernels is executed
| |
18:11 | <alkisg> Not if you put BOOTPROMPT_OPTS in update-kernels.conf
| |
18:13 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i should be able to test and prepare an LTSP upload tomorrow ...
| |
18:13 | alkisg: will you be somewhat available?
| |
18:13 | <alkisg> vagrantc: yup
| |
18:13 | <vagrantc> also probably need to upload a new LDM as well, due to the ltsp-update-sshkeys changes.
| |
18:14 | <alkisg> Ah I didn't test changing the IP...
| |
18:14 | <vagrantc> well, the old LDM logs in using IP only.
| |
18:15 | <alkisg> Indeed, I'm just saying that the code in ldm trunk is untested
| |
18:15 | <vagrantc> we switched to essentially requiring manually adding IP based entries for ltsp-update-sshkeys, or specifying server hostname in HOST_XX and LDM_SERVER options
| |
18:16 | alkisg: not untested, i do recall building with it at least once
| |
18:16 | <_UsUrPeR_> so I am trying out ltsp in 12.04
| |
18:16 | seems mostly like 11.10
| |
18:16 | has there been any significant changes?
| |
18:16 | <alkisg> vagrantc: I removed ssh_hostchecker without checking that defaulting to LDM_SERVER=server actually works. It should, but I haven't tested it (changing the server IP and still being able to login)
| |
18:17 | <vagrantc> sure feels like huge changes, but maybe the user wouldn't notice :)
| |
18:17 | <_UsUrPeR_> vagrantc: well it sure installs about the same.
| |
18:17 | I noticed a new dhcp server, but that was in 11.10 too wasn't it?
