Hello, can someone please explain to me how to convert the image created by ltsp to an ISO file so I can install it?
09:15
someone here?
09:18
<muppis>
You dont't need to install it anywhere. Just boot machine from network and that's it.
09:19
Check setting from bios or use iPXE. If you have Windows installed you can use win32 loader
09:19
!win3-loader
09:19
<ltsp>
I do not know about 'win3-loader', but I do know about these similar topics: 'win32-loader'
09:19
<muppis>
!win32-loader
09:19
<ltsp>
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 could write a wiki page for that it'd be great, a Greek page you can translate as a starting point is available at (1 more message)

<ltspuser_52>
Can someone tell me, when in gxpe (Pressed CTRL-B to go to command promtp) which commands and in which order I need to start the TLSP image available on the tftp server? At the moment I have 1. "dhcp any" to get an IP, 2. kernel tfpt://123.123.123.123/tlsp/amd64/gpxelinux.0", 3. "boot" But this tells me no configuration file found?

hello good people of the ltsp channel
10:06
i am having great problems building an ltsp kiosk environment in 11.10. with the --kiosk, firefox isn't starting with the kiosk
10:12
doesn't appear to be logging in as kiosk :(
10:19
<muppis>
jahmon, haven't use kiosk mode ever, but I remember it need autologin feature to be used.
10:23gvy has joined IRC (gvy!~mike@altlinux/developer/mike)

it is autologging in.. but not as a kiosk user

jahmon, then I can't really help more. Stand by and wait when idlers activates or joins in. They read logs and might help if knows better than me.

I haven't used kiosk either, but when you find someone who does have experience with it, they'll probably want to see your lts.conf file. Could you upload it to pastebin?
11:00cyberorg has joined IRC (cyberorg!~cyberorg@opensuse/member/Cyberorg)
11:07
<jahmon>
my lts.conf currently just has my username and password in it
11:08
nothing related to kiosk#
11:08
thats defniitely a place to start though thanks!
11:25
<cyberorg>
jahmon, SCREEN_07=kiosk and KIOSK_EXE="/usr/bin/firefox" should work, remove user and password
11:26
kiosk creates temporary user for this purpose
11:27
<jahmon>
cool
11:27
ive now got the kiosk starting automatically
11:27
but not going to a default page

any idea how to set home page and remove all warning at the top? currently i have firefox is free and open source..
11:54
?
11:55
<Hyperbyte>
jahmon, not entirely sure, but I think the next step is locking down Firefox itself

(I could be wrong! ;-))

12:32
Obviously replace google.com with the page you wish to go to.

Just wanted to let folks know about a problem that I ran into and the solution. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. For some time when browsing the internet the page load would take a long time to load but once they started they would load quickly. This was both on the server and the clients but the clients seemed slowest. I figured out that /etc/init.d/networking was adding a local-link route to the routing. When I would delete this with: su
14:38
It is not needed for LTSP and can be safely uninstall. From the package description "It is primarily intended to be used inad-hoc networks which lack a DHCP server.", definitely not a LTSP environment. Not sure if this should be reported or recorded somewhere for future LTSP users that experience this slow down.

force a proxy, or do a restrict based on the ips assigned out to the ltsp clients?
15:09
<Hyperbyte>
Or authenticate to the proxy
15:09
"squid" can do it.

Ok, Would this be automatic? Like the browser passes the username on to squid or would the user need a new login/password for squid as well?

Ok, I see squid can do a number of authorization schemes including PAM so it maybe the first time on a browser they would need to authenticate, then the browser would enter the credentials after that.

!learn win98-loader as win98-loader.exe can be used to add a "PXE - Network boot" option to Windows 98 machines. Download and run http://ts.sch.gr/repo/netboot/win98-loader.exe, specify C:\ as the installation directory, and finally run C:\boot\grub\install.bat
17:39
<ltsp>
The operation succeeded.
17:39
<||cw>
interesting. works for DOS too?
17:40
<alkisg>
Yup
17:40
Errr well it's a 7z archive in an .exe sfx format, so you'd need some way to uncompress it from the console
17:41* alkisg hopes that's the last development he'll even need to do for Windows 98, may they RIP :)
17:41
<||cw>
a gui sfx and not a console one?
17:41
<vagrantc>
it's actually different than win32-loader.exe?
17:41
<alkisg>
vagrantc: win32-loader doesn't work with 9x
17:42
<vagrantc>
ah.
17:42
<alkisg>
It uses grub4dos internally
17:42
<||cw>
right, win32loader is for xp's boot manager, win9x/doss is different
17:42* vagrantc hasn't really used anything since 9x
17:42
<alkisg>
||cw: hmm you're probably right, it would make more sense to use a console-based sfx tool
17:42
But it would need to be 16 bit and I'm really bored to do the necessary surfing
17:42
If you ever do it, please ping me with a link to the result...
17:43
<vagrantc>
can't you just use loadlin.exe?
17:43
<alkisg>
The filenames can all be 8.3 char length so they can be dos compatible
17:43
<vagrantc>
for dos?
17:43
<alkisg>
vagrantc: last time I tried that it hanged more often than not
17:43
And it required editing autoexec.bat, and provided no menu for selecting the os to boot
17:44
Grub4dos even has a `savedefault` option
17:44
So it remembers the last choice the user made, 98 or netboot

Today I went to install LTSP in a school with win98 (that's why I took the time to convert our old grub4dos.zip + gpxe to win98-loader.exe + ipxe). Unfortunately gpxe/ipxe seem to not work with the NICs there... I wonder if the MS netboot disk would work.

Good evening all. Wondered if someone could help me with a strange dhcpd related issue.
18:08
<vagrantc>
ask away, and answers may come...
18:08
<ltspuser_98>
Ok.
18:09
I've set up a ltsp server and configured it according to bootpolish.net (system is Debian Squeeze).
18:10
Whenever a machine is turned on, it requests a ip address from the given range (in this case x.x.x.230 - 250).
18:11
As soon as the image has been loaded, the client requests a new IP, out of range (here: x.x.x.148).
18:11
<vagrantc>
do you have a second dhcp server on the network?
18:12
<ltspuser_98>
Some config file seems to be borked. I'm lost atm.
18:12
The client requests the IP from the same server.
18:13
<dead_inside>
whats the url for ltsp info on bootpolish.net?
18:13* dead_inside highly recommends using ltsp.org instead.....
18:14
<ltspuser_98>
The thing is it DID work before. After running a test, I have taken down the whole machine and set it up new. Same hardware, same OS and version.
18:15
<dead_inside>
something aparently was not the same
18:16
<ltspuser_98>
Obviously. I just can't make it out.

(or your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, if you don't have one under /etc/ltsp)
18:20
<vagrantc>
on debian, /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf isn't used by default, you have to explicitly include it from the *real* dhcpd.conf
18:20
either /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf or /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf

If not, you can try putting `break=mount` in pxelinux.cfg/default, and run ipconfig or udhcpc there, to see if it recognizes the nic

Luizcezar: gpxe does its job. It's the linux initramfs that has problems with your card (probably)
18:33

I think it would load and boot. It just can't find a server after the misconfiguration.

then i try to boot from usb

alksig: it's working alright. No IP address, assigned one and could ping into my net.
19:10
<alkisg>
Inar: ok, now type exit, so that the boot process continues
19:11
"no ip address" => you mean ipconfig didn't get an ip address and you had to assign it yourself?
19:11
Also now try cat /tmp/net-eth0.conf and check the values there
19:13
<Inar>
alksig: correct.
19:13

It sounds like you have another dhcp server in your network, and I was thinking that you could see it from /tmp/net-eth0.conf after running ipconfig, but ipconfig doesn't work for you (which is weird, but ok, ipconfig is a bit buggy)
19:20
To get /tmp/net-eth0.conf from udhcpc you can try running /scripts/init-premount/udhcp

Ah, for localapps

and rdesktop and such
20:36
<alkisg>
...couldn't we fix it a bit so that it uses the real mount for localapps?
20:37
And mount it either as the local user, if it exists, or as some "ltsp" user from which we'd run the rdesktop or other scripts...
20:37
<vagrantc>
we're giving ltspfsd double-duty as an automounter
20:37
it was gadi's hairbrained idea that he convinced us was good.
20:38
<alkisg>
OK let's see:
20:38garymc has joined IRC (garymc!~chatzilla@host86-159-98-199.range86-159.btcentralplus.com)
20:38
<alkisg>
If rdesktop runs, it can access the files locally whether it runs as root or some local user
20:38
If localapps are enabled, we do have a local user
20:38
So I don't think we need ltspfs to run locally in any case
20:39
We just need to be clever with ltspfsd and automount the media as the correct user
20:40
Another thought is for ltspfsd to be launched only when some media is inserted, quit when it's removed, and use the ssh socket for encryption
20:41
<vagrantc>
ltspfsd should only run if there's some device that might potentially use it
20:41
already
20:42* alkisg tries without a cdrom inserted...

unless you've disabled the rules to run cdpinger, it will still run ltspfsd
20:43
<alkisg>
Ah, cdpinger runs ltspfsd?
20:44
<vagrantc>
ltspfsd is started from udev whenever there is something that *might* use it.
20:44
<alkisg>
Wouldn't it be better when there's actual media inserted?
20:46
<vagrantc>
see previous comments about the purpose of cdpinger
20:47
if you have CD hardware, ltspfsd will start, unless you've configured it to ignore certain events that might trigger cdpinger.
20:47
in my experience, running it without any devices plugged in only result in ltspfsd starting when you plug a device in.
20:47
it's been a long time since i've tested that behavior.
20:48
but i worked to make that possible to remove the ltspfsd call from the init script, and have it be purely udev triggered.
20:49* alkisg tries without cd hardware...
20:49

Right, no ltpfsd there

Cool, so by removing cdpinger we can have ltspfsd only run when media is inserted instead of when a cd rom hardware is available
20:50
<vagrantc>
exactly.

<alkisg>
One step closer to removing LTSP_FATCLIENT completely :D
20:51* vagrantc isn't convinced mounting them "normally" will work out better
20:53
<alkisg>
Why have the ltspfs/d layer for localapps, rdesktop etc? What are the benefits there?
20:53
<vagrantc>
the automounter/unmounter
20:54
but if you can make it work better, by all means :)
20:54* alkisg hasn't understood the problem completely yet
20:54
<vagrantc>
and maybe technology has changed since it was implemented
20:54
<alkisg>
Automounting ==> udev -> ltspfsd -> mount as the local user instead of (as root + call ltspfs)
20:55
So automounting would still work
20:55
<vagrantc>
what's the local user?

<vagrantc>
from udev's perspective?
20:55
<alkisg>
Either root, for rdesktop, or the user that has logged in, for localapps
20:55
ltspfsd can detect which user has logged in
20:56
(localapps include fat clients as well)
