| 10:03 | Da-Geek has joined IRC (Da-Geek!~Da-Geek@exch.imparando.com) | |
| 10:13 | <vlt> ltspuser_43: You mean you want to mount it in read-only mode? Or remount it?
| |
| 10:37 | <Hyperbyte> ltspuser_43, also please tell us -why- you want to do that. What goal you are trying to achieve. Because there may be better ways of getting there. Generally speaking, you can't put "a whole filesystem" read-only, because the OS -needs- to write certain things at boot/login in order for things to work.
| |
| 10:38 | alkisg has left IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@81.186.145.153, Quit: Leaving.) | |
| 10:38 | <Hyperbyte> LTSP clients by default, for example, use a read-only filesystem via NBD on Ubuntu, but several other temporary writable filesystems are overlayed in places where the clients - need- to have write access in order to function.
| |
| 10:40 | <ltspuser_43> I am using NFS instead of NBD...
| |
| 10:40 | and with several terminal they all try to write in the same files
| |
| 10:40 | I want to avoid that...
| |
| 10:40 | <muppis> That's why you should use nbd.
| |
| 10:40 | <ltspuser_43> theres another way?
| |
| 10:41 | but to work withe the scenario that I have I need to use NFS...
| |
| 10:42 | I folllowed this how to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPWithoutNFS
| |
| 10:42 | the part to revert to NFS...
| |
| 10:43 | I have a Debian etch server providing all the filesystems...
| |
| 10:44 | if the solution is to use NBD I can install a NBD server and configure
| |
| 10:45 | this Debian server have all the users accounts and is the DHCP and DNS server...
| |
| 10:46 | <Hyperbyte> Why did you choose for NFS over NBD?
| |
| 10:46 | <ltspuser_43> because in my Debian server I only have NFS configured...
| |
| 10:46 | you suggest to use NBD??
| |
| 10:47 | with NBD I don't have this problem?
| |
| 10:47 | with multiple sessions?
| |
| 10:47 | <muppis> Yes.
| |
| 10:47 | <Hyperbyte> muppis, ltspuser_43, if you're going to do NFS with LTSP you should mount your root read-only
| |
| 10:48 | This can easily be done by editing /etc/exports on the server.
| |
| 10:48 | <muppis> But isn't then overlay needed anyway?
| |
| 10:48 | <Hyperbyte> muppis, yes, but you need overlay with NFS or NBD regardless
| |
| 10:48 | So it doesn't matter.
| |
| 10:49 | I -think-, even with rw NFS, LTSP does the overlay anyway
| |
| 10:49 | Although since ltspuser_43 obviously greatly modified their setup (Debian server, Ubuntu clients, NFS, etc) it is a bit difficult to say what exactly happens and what doesn't
| |
| 10:50 | <ltspuser_43> I already changed my /etc/exports...
| |
| 10:50 | <Hyperbyte> My advice is to always deploy LTSP with as much of the recommended settings as possible... that way you keep your setup simple, making it easier to transfer to another admin, to upgrade and also easier to get support. When you have a complicated, customized setup, it is more difficult to find people who can support you properly.
| |
| 10:51 | <ltspuser_43> but when I change the sysmtem can't mount and not boot...
| |
| 10:51 | system*
| |
| 10:51 | I understand...
| |
| 10:52 | <Hyperbyte> mhm
| |
| 10:52 | <ltspuser_43> but I didn't have a choice...
| |
| 10:52 | <Hyperbyte> Well, then this is what I mean with making it difficult to support
| |
| 10:52 | Because now I can't tell you anything anymore, besides what muppis said... ubuntu uses NBD by default, that works.
| |
| 10:52 | And sure you had a choice. :)
| |
| 10:52 | <ltspuser_43> ok
| |
| 10:52 | I will try with nbd...
| |
| 10:52 | <Hyperbyte> I'm running Fedora and I want a Ubuntu LTSP server. I created a virtual machine with Ubuntu (qemu-kvm), and then ran LTSP in there.
| |
| 10:53 | <ltspuser_43> but this solution is not a choice for me...
| |
| 10:53 | I will try with NBD:..
| |
| 10:53 | <Hyperbyte> ltspuser_43, why isn't it?
| |
| 10:53 | <ltspuser_43> thank you :)
| |
| 10:53 | staffencasa has left IRC (staffencasa!~staffenca@8-220.ptpg.oregonstate.edu, Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | |
| 10:53 | <Hyperbyte> :)
| |
| 10:53 | Are you working with fat clients or thin?
| |
| 10:54 | <ltspuser_43> because I already have this server virtualized...
| |
| 10:54 | thin clients...
| |
| 10:54 | <Hyperbyte> I'm confused now
| |
| 10:54 | You have thin clients - then why do you have a Ubuntu client chroot?
| |
| 10:55 | <ltspuser_43> because I tried with a squeeze filesystem and LDM was not working very well...
| |
| 10:56 | <Hyperbyte> Well I have no idea about Debian... but LTSP thin clients don't use filesystems
| |
| 10:56 | They use the filesystem of the server, via NBD or NFS... it shouldn't matter what kind of filesystem you have on the server.
| |
| 10:56 | staffencasa has joined IRC (staffencasa!~staffenca@8-220.ptpg.oregonstate.edu) | |
| 10:57 | <ltspuser_43> yes
| |
| 10:57 | <Hyperbyte> If you have this server virtualized, my advice would be to see if you can un-complicate your setup. LTSP on Debian should work. So make a clone of that virtual server, get rid of your Ubuntu chroot, build a new Debian client, and then see what happens
| |
| 10:57 | <ltspuser_43> but the server is a Debian etch and doesn't have support for some things...
| |
| 10:57 | <Hyperbyte> And if you have problems, come here and we will try to help you as best as we can. That would be a proper solution.
| |
| 10:58 | Well since it's virtualized, what's stopping you from installing a whole new one?
| |
| 10:58 | <ltspuser_43> I understand...
| |
| 10:58 | but I have tried...
| |
| 10:58 | <Hyperbyte> You can create a new virtual guest, install a brand new Debian there, with the newest LTSP....
| |
| 10:59 | <ltspuser_43> but I have here some terminals and they need the driver geode to have a good performance
| |
| 11:00 | <Hyperbyte> It will be a lot of work now probably, but will save you lots of headache in the long run.
| |
| 11:00 | <ltspuser_43> and in debian etch I couldn't have this driver...
| |
| 11:00 | so I tried squeeze
| |
| 11:00 | but with squeeze I had themes problems...
| |
| 11:00 | <Hyperbyte> What do you think is easier to debug:
| |
| 11:01 | a) A problem with themes
| |
| 11:01 | b) A problem with filesystems not properly being made read-only in a highly customized LTSP setup with Debian as server and Ubuntu as client
| |
| 11:01 | <ltspuser_43> in Unity the icons close, minimize, etc pass to the right corner...
| |
| 11:02 | but with Ubuntu it's working...
| |
| 11:02 | <Hyperbyte> You have fixed your theme problem, but in such a way that you setup becomes incredibly complicated, to the point where you run into much more complicated problems.
| |
| 11:02 | <ltspuser_43> I am going to try with NBD and after this I can try with a new Debian...
| |
| 11:03 | <Hyperbyte> I have another bold question for you.
| |
| 11:03 | Why are you using Debian, instead of Ubuntu?
| |
| 11:03 | <ltspuser_43> because the server is Debian...
| |
| 11:03 | I can't change tha
| |
| 11:03 | that
| |
| 11:03 | <Hyperbyte> It was virtualized you said
| |
| 11:03 | You could easily create another virtual server that is Ubuntu
| |
| 11:04 | <ltspuser_43> yes I know...
| |
| 11:04 | I will try
| |
| 11:04 | thank you for all the support ;)
| |
| 11:04 | <Hyperbyte> If you feel lucky, try an installation of Ubuntu 12.04, see if that doesn't fix all your problems in one go.
| |
| 11:05 | Good luck... if you need anything, we'll definitely try to help you here. :) But understand that the more complicated you make your system, the less likely it will be that we can help you properly.
| |
| 11:05 | <ltspuser_43> I understand
| |
| 11:05 | thank you very much
| |
| 11:06 | <Hyperbyte> Welcome. :)

| 11:08 | <gvy> "the more complicated you make your system, the less likely it will be that we can help you properly" and "Why are you using Debian, instead of Ubuntu?" contradict to me, btw
| |
| 11:17 | <Hyperbyte> Hehe, well, we can distro-war whatever you want.
| |
| 11:17 | Fact is, I'm a Fedora man. I don't like Ubuntu very much.
| |
| 11:17 | But when it comes to LTSP, it IS the most popular distro out there, and by far the easiest one to get support for.
| |
| 11:19 | <muppis> Me neither do like Ubuntu, but well.. It's easier set up tha Debian and.. that's what I like.

| 11:24 | <ltspuser_43> I saw on ubuntu deplyment thar with NBD is provided an i386.img
| |
| 11:24 | what is this image?
| |
| 11:25 | <muppis> It's the image what is used over nbd.
| |
| 11:25 | <ltspuser_43> yes... but for what?
| |
| 11:25 | this image have some info?
| |
| 11:25 | <muppis> It's the system waht clint uses.

| 11:25 | bobby_C has joined IRC (bobby_C!~bobby@85-124-22-227.teleworker.xdsl-line.inode.at) | |
| 11:26 | <Hyperbyte> ltspuser_43, NFS transports a file/directory over network
| |
| 11:26 | NBD transports a disk image over network
| |
| 11:28 | With NBD, there's a command ltsp-update-image, which builds the i386.img file from the /opt/ltsp/i386/ folder
| |
| 11:30 | This is useful so you can do modifications and then "publish" them all at once, plus you can very easily back-up working images and NBD has much better speed than NFS
| |
| 11:31 | <ltspuser_43> ok
| |
| 11:31 | thank you ;)

| 12:24 | <markit> hi alkisg :) when scripts under chroot /etc/X11/Xsession.d are executed, home (or fstab_xx) are already been executed?
| |
| 12:25 | is there any docs about the ltsp "insights", scripts, and sequence?
| |
| 12:53 | <alkisg> markit: Xsession.d does not run for LDM nor for thin clients
| |
| 12:53 | It runs for fat clients after /home is mounted, yup
| |
| 12:53 | <markit> ok, thanks
| |
| 12:53 | <alkisg> No docs available
| |
| 12:54 | Apart from the main .pdf
| |
| 12:54 | !docs
| |
| 12:54 | <ltsp> docs: For the most current documentation, see https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ltsp/index.php?title=Ltsp_LtspDocumentationUpstream
| |
| 12:54 | <markit> I'm opening 4 terminal, 2 on the server, 2 on the client, and will make a movie with iftop and iotop command
| |
| 12:54 | and I've moved startkde to startkde_original
| |
| 12:54 | and replaced startkde with
| |
| 12:54 | /usr/bin/strace -f -o /tmp/fat_strace_startkde.txt /usr/bin/startkde_vero
| |
| 12:54 | exit 0
| |
| 12:54 | do you think will be ok?
| |
| 12:55 | nfortunately, rebuild the nbd image takes a lot, so the "try and error" aproach is very time consuming
| |
| 12:55 | <alkisg> You can make changes from screen_02=shell in the live image, or just use nfs as well

| 12:59 | <markit> yep, but I think I've "intercept" the kde run script to put strace on front
| |
| 12:59 | ah, yes, I could edit on the fly and test, yes
| |
| 13:00 | I could also from a ssh connection

| |
| 13:10 | sigh
| |
| 13:24 | mmm kde variables in /etc/X11/Xsession.d are ignored
| |
| 13:24 | wondering where I can put an "override" of the temp path variable
| |
| 13:24 | <alkisg> In lts.conf
| |
| 13:24 | ...possibly
| |
| 13:24 | <markit> really?
| |
| 13:24 | like AAA=XXX
| |
| 13:24 | export AAA?
| |
| 13:25 | or just AAA=XXX?
| |
| 13:25 | <alkisg> No, just VAR=value, but it will only affect some scripts, it won't go inside the user session...

| |
| 13:26 | <markit> I need something like KDEVARTMP=$(eval echo $HOME)/.cache
| |
| 13:26 | ok, good advice
| |
| 13:26 | <alkisg> ...remove the "eval echo" there

| |
| 13:34 | discouraging... and don't know if .cache is created before I need to use it
| |
| 13:35 | <alkisg> markit: su - user
| |
| 13:35 | sshfs only exposes the file system for the user
| |
| 13:36 | <markit> so nfs can't be used for home? I mean, if I see file permissions of my home/.kde are of nobody nogroup
| |
| 13:36 | is a problem of my nfs config?
| |
| 13:36 | <alkisg> markit: nfs is mounted on system boot
| |
| 13:36 | Of course it can be used for home
| |
| 13:36 | (unless there's some bug that prevents nfs from being mounted)
| |
| 13:37 | <markit> it's mounted, but files created there don't belong to the user

| 16:38 | <markit> sigh, it creates a DIR cache-ltsp102 (in normal setup should be a link to /var/tmp/kdecache-marco)
| |
| 16:38 | and in /home/.cache, that is where I'm (just for experiment) directing the $KDEVARTMP
| |
| 16:39 | it creates an empty kdecache-marco + kdecache-marconux01l + kdecache-marcovgwoio
| |
| 16:39 | having "just" 100MB makes me feel a bit more optimistic, but I'm still far away from the solution, hope you will put the final world on this next week or so :)

| 16:44 | but didn't found the tftp boot...
| |
| 16:44 | <alkisg> ltspuser_44: do you have a tftpd running on your ltsp server?
| |
| 16:44 | <ltspuser_44> the tftpboot is on the machine with the IP 212
| |
| 16:44 | <alkisg> !tftp
| |

| |
| 16:45 | <alkisg> ltspuser_44: it's easier if you have a tftp server running on your ltsp server, even if you don't have a dhcp one
| |
| 16:45 | This way you don't have to transfer the kernel/initrd on each ltsp image update
| |
| 16:45 | <ltspuser_44> the machine 199 has the two services...
| |
| 16:45 | <alkisg> You can have 2 tftp servers, one on 199 and one on the ltsp server
| |
| 16:45 | <ltspuser_44> and the 212 only has tftp
| |
| 16:46 | <alkisg> 212 is the ltsp server?
| |
| 16:46 | <ltspuser_44> yes
| |
| 16:46 | <alkisg> Right, so read the page I linked above ^
| |
| 16:46 | <ltspuser_44> and I want to tell the thin client using the DHCP server in 199
| |
| 16:46 | <alkisg> ...to use the tftp/ltsp server at 212
| |
| 16:46 | That's "next-server", correct
| |
| 16:48 | <ltspuser_44> but it's not finding...
| |
| 16:48 | and if I put the 212 with DHCP server it works...
| |
| 16:48 | <alkisg> Read the wiki page above.
| |
| 16:49 | That way you'll verify that your ltsp/tftp server is correctly set up

| |
| 17:57 | <alkisg> Luizcezar: it's also possible,

| |
| 17:58 | Think if it suits you better before formatting
| |

| |

| 17:59 | <alkisg> (or wheezy...)
| |
| 17:59 | <Luizcezar> would you switch to 10.04 without using chroot? sry i didnt understand.
| |
| 18:00 | <alkisg> I mean that if I had old clients that don't support cmov, I'd either switch to 10.04 completely or to debian completely

| |
| 19:28 | <TheProf> Hmm.. so I just checked lts.conf and I already had that line about LDM_Session in it.
| |
| 19:29 | I also have unity-2d already installed.

| |
| 19:31 | (also note it's LDM_SESSION, not LDM_Session)
| |
| 19:31 | <TheProf> alkisg: sorry - it is correct in lts.conf ; I typed it incorrectly into IRC
| |
| 19:33 | alkisg: I am away from the school now unfortunately so I can't connect remotely (well I can via NX but the problem doesn't appear via NX). So I will pastebin it the next time I am at the school.
| |
| 19:33 | * alkisg guesses that somehow the clients try to login with unity-3d | |
| 19:34 | <TheProf> most probably you are correct. I'm suspecting that the changes in lts.conf are not taking.
| |
| 19:34 | I've had a problem before where an extra enter at the bottom (or lackthereof) seems to throw everything.
| |
| 19:34 | Parker955 is now known as Parker955_Away | |
| 19:36 | <TheProf> So maybe it's not seeing the lts.conf notes.
| |
| 19:41 | alkisg: I just called someone at the school and had them manually change their session at the thin client login screen to -2D and they were able to make it work!
| |
| 19:41 | So, as you surmised, it is not taking the session setting from lts.conf but is instead using 3d
| |
| 19:42 | <alkisg> You can pastebin your lts.conf if you want us to have a quick look there
| |
| 19:42 | Or run getltscfg -a from a local client console
| |
| 19:43 | <TheProf> Just connecting back in via NX to do that now.

| 19:47 | <TheProf> The last part of the file with the printer I had to comment out since if I don't comment out, the thin clients refuse to load.
| |
| 19:48 | alkisg: I don't have getltscfg installed on my server.
| |
| 19:49 | <alkisg> It's installed in the chroot
| |
| 19:49 | About the printer, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/996533
| |
| 19:49 | <TheProf> or right - my mistake. You said from a thin client.
| |
| 19:50 | <alkisg> It seems OK, so it might be related to where lts.conf is stored, or to your dhcp settings
| |
| 19:50 | Are you using ipappend=3?
| |
| 19:51 | <TheProf> lts.conf is in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/
| |
| 19:51 | I am not sure if I'm using ipappend=3 to be honest :)
| |
| 19:52 | <alkisg> E.g. the client might be trying to find it in ltsp/i386/lts.conf, you could make a symlink there to verify it
| |
| 19:52 | <TheProf> it was a clean installation of edubuntu 12.04
| |
| 19:53 | alkisg: I understand what you mean. Could I ask why would it look in i386 in some cases and amd64 in others? All the thin clients are identical hardware
| |
| 19:53 | <alkisg> The others might also be missing lts.conf
| |
| 19:55 | <TheProf> OK. So what I will do when I am at the school is first follow the steps on the launchpad bur report to resolve the printer and then see if the 2D/3D issue is resolved with a symlink.
| |
| 19:56 | <alkisg> Or try getltscfg -a from a client
| |
| 19:56 | <TheProf> alkisg: Yes I will do that.
| |
| 19:58 | Actually follow-up question. Will a regular apt-get update/upgrade automatically update the patch that is mentioned in the launchpad by Stgraber? It says it was pushed to the repositories.
| |
| 20:00 | <alkisg> It's not available in precise-updates yet, it'll be in the future
