| 10:21 | <ajith> Hi Chan
| |
| 10:21 | I am facing problem with ltsp ubuntu cluster
| |
| 10:22 | which is configured on ubunutu and clients are unavle to login into their respective logins
| |
| 10:27 | markit has joined IRC (markit!~marco@88.149.177.66) | |
| 10:32 | <ajith> hi maekit
| |
| 10:33 | can please look in to thatr
| |
| 10:33 | do u have any idea about this
| |
| 10:35 | <markit> ajith: are you talking with me?
| |
| 10:36 | <ajith> yes
| |
| 10:36 | <markit> "about this" what? I'm just entered, can't see what you wrote before
| |
| 10:36 | (and I'm not an expert in troubleshooting)
| |
| 10:37 | <ajith> but just give any suggession ...
| |
| 10:37 | please look in to my problem
| |
| 10:37 | I am facing problem with ltsp ubuntu cluster
| |
| 10:37 | clients unable to login in to ltsp server
| |
| 10:38 | services are running fine...
| |
| 10:39 | you there
| |
| 10:39 | you there Markit
| |
| 10:39 | <markit> I've never setup a cluster
| |
| 10:39 | was it working before?
| |
| 10:39 | <ajith> do u have any idea about ltsp ubuntu
| |
| 10:39 | <markit> "unable to login" means they have ldm login but are rejected?
| |
| 10:39 | <ajith> this seems problem in ltsp not
| |
| 10:40 | do we have any specific service named 'ld,"
| |
| 10:40 | ldm
| |
| 10:40 | <markit> are you able to log with those users in the server?
| |
| 10:41 | <ajith> no
| |
| 10:41 | <markit> with none?
| |
| 10:41 | <ajith> none
| |
| 10:41 | no
| |
| 10:41 | <markit> ltsp "normal" (don't know about cluster) authenticate users with standard pam authentication in the server
| |
| 10:42 | so you can't login in the server???
| |
| 10:42 | <ajith> okay I am looking in to that wait
| |
| 10:43 | hey I have logged in a user name and it is giving me a msg saying "could not chdir to home directory"
| |
| 10:45 | you there
| |
| 10:47 | <markit> yep
| |
| 10:47 | so you have troubles with your homes
| |
| 10:47 | permissions?
| |
| 10:47 | deleted by mistake?
| |
| 10:47 | are nfs and nfs is not working?
| |
| 10:47 | etc.
| |
| 10:54 | !epoptes

| 10:55 | <markit> !socat
| |
| 10:55 | <ltsp> socat: One way to share a console with a remote person is: [local pc] forward port 5500, run: socat tcp-listen:5500,keepalive=1 stdio,raw,echo=0 [remote pc] socat tcp:server:5500 SYSTEM:"{ sleep 1; xterm -e screen -xRR ra$$; } & exec screen -S ra$$",pty,stderr
| |
| 10:55 | <markit> anyone here has used epoptes remote assistence?
| |
| 10:57 | <ajith> no man no idea
| |
| 10:58 | thanks for ur timw
| |
| 10:58 | time* man
| |
| 10:58 | but really could not find the poroblem
| |
| 10:58 | i can say actually I am unable to create the home dir in /bash
| |
| 10:59 | it is creating home dir's in .sh
| |
| 10:59 | I also changed user home dir and owned that...still the same problem
| |
| 10:59 | so...please look in to this and please help me out ...Mr.Markit
| |
| 11:00 | <markit> but you were able to login some way,ok? also to sudo?
| |
| 11:02 | <ajith> sudo i can login in command line
| |
| 11:02 | not in gui
| |
| 11:02 | <markit> ok, and ls -ld /home gives you correct permissions in the home dir?
| |
| 11:02 | <ajith> if i login thru cmd line it is giving me error "could not chdir to home directory
| |
| 11:03 | <markit> and if you do a ls -l /home, you see your home folders?
| |
| 11:03 | ajith: become permanente super user with
| |
| 11:03 | $ sudo -s
| |
| 11:03 | and then let's try to find out what is wrong, ok?
| |
| 11:03 | I need you to be superuser to do that
| |
| 11:04 | <ajith> I am superuser able to create the dir's but not getting crerated in home dir
| |
| 11:04 | getting .bashrc...etc these things in my home dir
| |
| 11:05 | <markit> ok
| |
| 11:05 | as I stated, could you please do a ls -ld /home
| |
| 11:05 | must be something like drwxr-xr-x 39 root root 4096 gen 26 13:15 /home/
| |
| 11:06 | <ajith> okay i could not find that in my case
| |
| 11:06 | <markit> what are your permissions for /home?
| |
| 11:07 | you need it to belong to root and have drwxr-xr-x
| |
| 11:07 | (except if you have valid reasons to do different, don't know about clusters)
| |
| 11:07 | <ajith> same things as urs
| |
| 11:07 | but not finidng any users
| |
| 11:08 | users home dir's
| |
| 11:08 | <markit> you mean nothing under /home ?
| |
| 11:08 | <ajith> yes
| |
| 11:08 | ya
| |
| 11:08 | <markit> aren't that homes are taken from nfs or something like that?
| |
| 11:08 | did you set it up?
| |
| 11:08 | do you have an idea about how it works?
| |
| 11:09 | you should go in /var/log
| |
| 11:09 | and check messages of syslog files
| |
| 11:09 | for meaningful errors
| |
| 11:10 | do you have THIN or FAT clients, by chance?
| |
| 11:14 | ajith: I've to leave in a short time...
| |
| 11:19 | <ajith> okay and thanks for ru support
| |
| 11:19 | ur*
| |
| 11:19 | <markit> btw all that "slang" is irritating for non native english speakers like me

| |
| 15:30 | <Phantomas> hey markit! You can't open a remote terminal you mean?
| |
| 15:31 | ah, no! What do you mean?
| |
| 15:45 | gp has joined IRC (gp!~IceChat77@c-98-251-19-168.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) | |
| 15:48 | <gp> Where can I read about setting up an LTSP thin client? The only instructions I see are for the server
| |
| 15:49 | jammcq has left IRC (jammcq!~jam@c-69-245-75-255.hsd1.mi.comcast.net, Quit: leaving) | |
| 15:50 | <Hyperbyte> gp, LTSP thin clients are diskless.
| |
| 15:51 | They boot over the network and do not hold any configuration/software themselves.
| |
| 15:51 | Other than maybe setting them to PXE boot, there is nothing to be done on the clients.
| |
| 15:51 | <gp> So it just depends on the bios of the client?
| |
| 15:51 | <Hyperbyte> All client software/configuration is done on the server.
| |
| 15:52 | BIOS of the client, firmware of the network card - whatever does your PXE boot. :-)
| |
| 15:52 | <gp> Okay thanks
| |
| 15:52 | thought I needed a usb thumbdriver loader or something
| |
| 15:52 | *thumb drive
| |
| 15:53 | <Hyperbyte> You do if your client doesn't support PXE boot.
| |
| 15:53 | (network boot)
| |
| 15:55 | <gp> simple enough. thanks
| |
| 15:55 | <Hyperbyte> You're welcome. :)
| |
| 15:55 | Company, school, or home setup? :)
| |
| 15:56 | <gp> well right now I am just toying with it =)
| |
| 15:57 | <Hyperbyte> Are you considering deploying it somewhere?
| |
| 15:57 | Or just experimenting on a sunday afternoon? :)
| |
| 15:58 | <gp> Just experimenting. Looks pretty cool and wanted to see how it works
| |
| 15:58 | <Hyperbyte> :)
| |
| 15:58 | Yeah, LTSP is pretty awesome.
| |
| 15:59 | <gp> =)
| |
| 15:59 | <Hyperbyte> I've deployed it at the company where I work, as well as at the radio station where I volunteer.
| |
| 15:59 | <gp> Oh yeah?

| 16:11 | <markit> hi, any general setup to force client navigation through a proxy in lts.conf?
| |
| 16:11 | argh, I've missed Phantomas :(
| |
| 16:12 | <Hyperbyte> gp, yeah, it's pretty awesome (and time saving in the long run) to do all configuration centrally. If a computer breaks, just replace it and you're done. Plus, you never have to troubleshoot software problems on workstations.
| |
| 16:12 | markit, what do you mean with "force client navigation through a proxy"?
| |
| 16:13 | <markit> Hyperbyte: exactly
| |
| 16:14 | <Hyperbyte> What do you mean by that?
| |
| 16:14 | <markit> manually setting i.e. firefox to do so is not very easy nor secure (user can change it)
| |
| 16:14 | I've no idea :)
| |
| 16:14 | <Hyperbyte> Well those are two seperate issues.
| |
| 16:14 | You mean:
| |
| 16:14 | a) configure a proxy automatically
| |
| 16:15 | b) disallow http requests that bypass proxy
| |
| 16:15 | <markit> well, first need (of a friend of mine) is a)
| |
| 16:15 | but I guess that sooner or later he will need b) too
| |
| 16:15 | <Hyperbyte> Those are two very different things. a) is done in your browser, also depends on what browser you use. In the case of Firefox, I believe it has global configuration where you can "force" certain settings. That question is not LTSP related though. Firefox guides are available on this topic.
| |
| 16:16 | <markit> Hyperbyte: mmm I remember FF can have global settings, did not thought could have been also set as "immutable", interesting tip
| |
| 16:17 | <Hyperbyte> b) is also not LTSP related, how you accomplish this depends on your network layout and your needs. You could for example, block a client's internet access completely, and only allow them access to the server. Then they can only reach the internet via the proxy on the server, otherwise not. This can become problematic if you need more than http though. Then you'd need to allow only specific internet access and disable the rest. Either way, that's what firew
| |
| 16:17 | "problematic" meaning it'd require firewall configuration. I guess it's not really problematic at all.
| |
| 16:18 | <markit> so nothing that ltsp takes care of (and can be configured through lts.conf)
| |
| 16:18 | <Hyperbyte> Firefox configuration is done through Firefox and not lts.conf
| |
| 16:18 | And the firewall on the server is certainly not configured by lts.conf. :-)
| |
| 16:19 | <markit> ok, I guess is a common need in schools, wondering if someone has developed an "easy to setup" solution for this
| |
| 16:19 | also possibly not involving a different host that acts as firewall
| |
| 16:20 | Enslaver has joined IRC (Enslaver!~Enslaver@98.196.42.169) | |
| 16:21 | <Hyperbyte> markit, is your LTSP server also the network's router?
| |
| 16:21 | (i.e., is it a two-nic setup?)
| |
| 16:22 | <markit> Hyperbyte: yes
| |
| 16:22 | <Hyperbyte> Then why would you need a different host that acts as firewall?
| |
| 16:22 | That would even be more difficult.
| |
| 16:22 | If you want to filter your network, it -has- to be done on the router.
| |
| 16:22 | <markit> I know, and also you could have a mix of fat and thin clients
| |
| 16:22 | I see
| |
| 16:23 | <Hyperbyte> I assume you're running Firefox as a local app with the thin clients?
| |
| 16:24 | komunista has joined IRC (komunista!~slavko@adsl-195-168-244-224.dynamic.nextra.sk) | |
| 16:27 | <markit> Hyperbyte: no, all fat but old pc could be connected and become thin, without any local app
| |
| 16:28 | <Hyperbyte> Well in that case you'd have to filter the local server too
| |
| 16:29 | Again, your firewall is your friend. ;-)

| 21:50 | <toolz> I've just come across lstp and I'm thinking it would be a perfect fit for my mothers tutor/homeschool business. I'm looking at a very very limited budget so I'm trying to find cheap thin clients that work smoothly
| |
| 21:50 | ltsp*
| |
| 21:51 | <vagrantc> toolz: how many clients are you talking, and what's cheap?
| |
| 21:51 | for real cheap, you can probably find an old computer that someone would give away for free
| |
| 21:51 | <toolz> vagrantc: I'm thinking around 10 clients and cheap is I'm going to be getting refurb monitors for like 50$ and I'm hoping I can spend as little on thin clients
| |
| 21:52 | <markit> hi vagrantc :) I'm just reinstalling a ltsp server for a school, using Greek repo, and probably I've found a bug. Something you can be interested or just have to wait for Alkis?
| |
| 21:52 | <toolz> I'm looking at some great deals on geode based thin clients on ebay, some wyse products etc

| 21:52 | <vagrantc> markit: i don't know the greek-specific stuff, but if you explain your problem i can try to help out
| |
| 21:53 | toolz: geode has some issues, depending on the generation
| |
| 21:53 | <markit> vagrantc: I've KDE on the host, and usually ltsp-build-client --arch i386 --fat-client --mount-package-cache --copy-sourceslist --accept-unsigned-packages
| |
| 21:53 | would have installed the SAME DE
| |
| 21:53 | while now I see it's installing gnome...
| |
| 21:53 | <vagrantc> on ubuntu?
| |
| 21:53 | <markit> kubuntu
| |
| 21:54 | * vagrantc see's *ubuntu as one and the same | |
| 21:54 | <markit> I've installed kubuntu 12.04 as usual
| |
| 21:54 | vagrantc: sure ubuntu = kubuntu, just wondered if you thought I was started with gnome and then installed kde on top
| |
| 21:54 | <toolz> vagrantc: is there a list of hardware anyone has made that they have successfully setup ltsp?
| |
| 21:55 | <vagrantc> markit: you'll want to look at the fat-client plugin in /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/
| |
| 21:55 | markit: that should have the logic for how it decides what to install
| |
| 21:56 | toolz: not that i know of, really.
| |
| 21:56 | toolz: what lists i have seen are often outdated pretty swiftly ... a new software version of this or that might break the videeo driver, sound driver, etc.
| |
| 21:56 | <toolz> vagrantc: do you know of anyone that has had success with extremely cheap thin clients?
| |
| 21:57 | <vagrantc> toolz: i get all mine for free :)
| |
| 21:57 | <toolz> vagrantc: yeah? how do you manage that?
| |
| 21:57 | <vagrantc> toolz: do you need strictly thin clients, or will regular computers network booting work?
| |
| 21:57 | toolz: i work at a computer re-use and recycling organization
| |
| 21:58 | <toolz> I would prefer thin clients, but honestly I can make anything work. Price is the real barrier, nothing else
| |
| 21:58 | <vagrantc> well, any x86-based computer that can network boot can generally serve as a thin client for LTSP
| |
| 21:58 | (and even some arm-based ones, but that's for the adventurous)
| |
| 21:58 | <markit> vagrantc: dpkg -l | sed -n 's/^ii.*\<\(.*buntu-desktop\)\>.*/\1/p'
| |
| 21:58 | and is "" in my kde
| |
| 21:59 | wondering if is different in "normal" (older) file
| |
| 21:59 | <vagrantc> markit: you don't have kubuntu-desktop installed?
| |
| 21:59 | <toolz> yeah, I was thinking about just getting some refurb'd atom netbooks or something, but that's 50$-100$USD more expensive than these geode thin clients...
| |
| 21:59 | <markit> vagrantc: mmmm no
| |
| 21:59 | vagrantc: I've plasma-desktop
| |
| 22:00 | <vagrantc> markit: which is incompatible with kubuntu-desktop?
| |
| 22:00 | markit: it sounds like you're not strictly running kubuntu...
| |
| 22:00 | <toolz> I see you guys have public meetups occasionally, when's the next one?
| |
| 22:00 | <markit> vagrantc: probably because I've added some kde backports to have the latest version... but as far as I remember was the same last time I installed ltsp
| |
| 22:01 | <vagrantc> markit: you could try --fat-client-desktop plasma-desktop
| |
| 22:01 | <markit> vagrantc: or maybe has been uninstalled because I uninstall some related packages like network manager?
| |
| 22:01 | who knows...
| |
| 22:02 | vagrantc: I will force with kubuntu-desktop, the problem is that is not able at the moment to "get" the host KDE if that kubuntu-desktop is not present
| |
| 22:02 | I use a different system to check the DE in my scripts
| |
| 22:02 | let me find it

| 22:02 | Enslaver has left IRC (Enslaver!~Enslaver@98.196.42.169, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 22:03 | <vagrantc> markit: you could force kubuntu-desktop and then do whatever you did on the server to the chroot and rebuild the image...
| |
| 22:03 | <markit> vagrantc: yes thanks I will do
| |
| 22:03 | Enslaver has joined IRC (Enslaver!~Enslaver@98.196.42.169) | |
| 22:04 | <markit> just checked with my "system" and yep, I find kde-plasma.desktop there
| |
| 22:04 | that is a problem for my scripts too...
| |
| 22:04 | vagrantc: thanks a lot for the help
| |
| 22:04 | <vagrantc> toolz: irc meetings, or meetings in person?
| |
| 22:04 | <toolz> vagrantc: irc
| |
| 22:05 | <vagrantc> markit: glad to be helpful!
| |
| 22:05 | <toolz> vagrantc: unless you guys do like google hangouts or something...that'd be cool
| |
| 22:05 | <vagrantc> there's http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Meeting:Upcoming)
| |
| 22:05 | <toolz> vagrantc: thanks

| 22:23 | <gp> I was having trouble getting PXE information sent to the thin client because I am using a router for DHCP. I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP and have PXE working. My thin client is connecting but not booting up all the way yet. When I installed dnsmasq it set the resolvconf to use 127.0.0.1 for nameserver. How can I set this back to use the dns servers provided by the router?
| |
| 22:23 | Enslaver has joined IRC (Enslaver!~Enslaver@98.196.42.169) | |
| 22:24 | <vagrantc> my inclination is usually to uninstall resolvconf...
| |
| 22:25 | though there might be a better way to get resolvconf submit to sanity
| |
| 22:25 | !dnsmasq
| |
| 22:25 | <ltsp> Error: "dnsmasq" is not a valid command.
| |
| 22:25 | <vagrantc> !resolvconf
| |
| 22:25 | <ltsp> Error: "resolvconf" is not a valid command.
| |
| 22:25 | <vagrantc> i remember there being some docs about making resolvconf play nice on ubuntu...
| |
| 22:27 | <gp> Well it worked fine before I installed dnsmasq. So something there messed it up. I just cant figure out what so I can't go back to using the DNS servers provided by the router's dhcp
| |
| 22:29 | <vagrantc> gp: alternately, you can comment out the line: port=0
| |
| 22:30 | gp: oh, before you even got around to making the edits for dnsmasq?
| |
| 22:30 | i.e. the "Creating the dnsmasq ltsp.conf file" section?

| 22:31 | <gp> Well I have dnsmasq setup
| |
| 22:31 | I was reading from another computer
| |
| 22:31 | <vagrantc> sure, but if you set it up according to those instructions, it will cause dnsmasq to stop serving DNS requests
| |
| 22:31 | <gp> Right
| |
| 22:31 | Thats fine
| |
| 22:32 | I don
| |
| 22:32 | I want to use the dns servers my router provides. I am just using dnsmasq for the DHCP Proxy feature
| |
| 22:32 | <vagrantc> the simplest thing might be to allow dnsmasq to function as a DNS server, and it should use the DNS server's provided by your router.
| |
| 22:33 | <gp> Well yea I guess that would be simple. If it gets me going I can piddle with it later =)
| |
| 22:33 | <vagrantc> right
| |
| 22:33 | <gp> thanks
| |
| 22:33 | <vagrantc> if that doesn't work, then you have more work to fiddle with :)

| 22:35 | It worked
