| 08:47 | <bakytn> hey!! what's the default password for root in fat clients? I am logged in as user (which is also a sudoer). But in the session I cna't sudo nor I cna't change my own password
| |
| 08:49 | <FrozenZia> bakytn: I may have run into a similar situation yesterday when I didn't seem to be able to sudo anything (may password was always "wrong" according to the system). Unfortunately I haven't tried to solve the problem yet, so have no help for you.
| |
| 08:49 | *my
| |
| 08:49 | <bakytn> FrozenZia, are you using fat client or a thin client?
| |
| 08:50 | vmlintu has left IRC (vmlintu!~vmlintu@37-136-67-47.nat.bb.dnainternet.fi, Ping timeout: 276 seconds) | |
| 08:51 | <FrozenZia> Well, I haven't specifically done anything to make it fat or thin, so with ltsp-pnp, does that mean my default is which?
| |
| 08:53 | bakytn: Is this yours: http://askubuntu.com/questions/171049/sudo-password-doesnt-work-on-fat-client-but-works-fine-on-server
| |
| 08:53 | (no answer, as yet)
| |
| 08:53 | <bakytn> FrozenZia, no not mine
| |
| 08:53 | FrozenZia, quick question what is ltsp-pnp?\
| |
| 08:58 | <FrozenZia> I'll begin by saying I'm no afficianado, but it's a "flavor" of ltsp that uses dnsmasq to somehow avoid the need for a dhcp server on the ltsp server, which lets you plug it straight into a e.g. school network without borking the networks dhcp server OR without needing to set up the 2 NIC setup.

| 10:07 | <elias_a> FrozenZia: What a compact way to say what ltsp-pnp is all about!
| |
| 10:36 | <work_alkisg> bakytn: there's no default root password in either thins or fats
| |
| 10:36 | work_alkisg is now known as alkisg | |
| 10:58 | <FrozenZia> elias_a: glad if I got it basically right
| |
| 10:59 | alkisg: so like in my case, I have "user" with admin rights on the server, but when that same username tries on client to do something with sudo, then the password doesn't seem to work.
| |
| 11:02 | Couple of questions still unanswered since yesterday if anyone can help: w/ltsp-pnp do I need to do ltsp-update-image after changing lts.conf? Can I use RCFILE params with ltsp-pnp?
| |
| 11:02 | <alkisg> FrozenZia: about the password: passwords don't work on fat clients, they're not cached for security reasons
| |
| 11:03 | No, you don't need ltsp-update-image after lts.conf changes
| |
| 11:03 | Yes, you can use any lts.conf directive you want with ltsp-pnp, there's nothing special about it
| |
| 11:04 | bakyt has joined IRC (bakyt!~ba@158.181.152.9) | |
| 11:05 | <FrozenZia> I'm just trying to get my client to boot to this script that I have set in the RCFILE param instead of booting up the normal Ubuntu login screen, and it just doesn't seem to be working, so was wondering if I was doing something wrong...
| |
| 11:06 | <alkisg> Sounds to me like you want to do a custom screen script in /usr/share/ldm/screen.d and not an RCFILE command
| |
| 11:08 | bakytn has left IRC (bakytn!~ba@158.181.146.177, Ping timeout: 248 seconds) | |
| 11:08 | <FrozenZia> One "very simple" thing I'd like to do is have a certain client always boot up into memcheck - is that something I'd do with a screen script?
| |
| 11:12 | <alkisg> A memcheck is usually done *before* the linux kernel is loaded
| |
| 11:12 | So you'd do that with a pxelinux menu
| |
| 11:12 | http://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2828.0;attach=1672;image
| |
| 11:14 | <FrozenZia> yeah, that's basically what I want, but I know for example that 1 certain machine in my network is only used for memory testing, so whenever it starts up, it could just go straight to memcheck...
| |
| 11:18 | khildin has joined IRC (khildin!~khildin@ip-83-134-213-216.dsl.scarlet.be) | |
| 11:20 | <alkisg> FrozenZia: ok you don't need a pxe menu for that, just a custom /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address file
| |
| 11:32 | <FrozenZia> could I just copy .../pxelinux.cfg/memtest for that? And is that ok to do? Seems like all the files there say not to edit them at all and look at /etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf instead?
| |
| 11:33 | (and sorry for the continued n00b question, but...) and I presume that changes like that do NOT require ltsp-update-image, right=
| |
| 11:33 | ?
| |
| 11:34 | <alkisg> FrozenZia: yes, you can copy pxelinux.cfg/memtest to 01-a1-b2-c3-d4-e5-f6

| 11:54 | <bakyt> alkisg, so it's not possible now to gain root access anymore in ltsp?
| |
| 11:58 | <alkisg> bakyt: sure, just set a root password in ltsp, or use this:
| |
| 11:58 | !screen_02
| |
| 11:58 | <ltsp> screen_02: To get a root shell on an Ubuntu thin client: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using_a_shell_SCREEN
| |
| 11:58 | <alkisg> FrozenZia: Try modifying the 01-mac file so that it has this on top: default memtest86+
| |
| 11:59 | <bakyt> alkisg, you mean ltsp-chroot and then passwd? cool!
| |
| 11:59 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
| 11:59 | <bakyt> alkisg, thanks!
| |
| 12:13 | <FrozenZia> =o( with 2 lines: "default memtest86+" and "kernel memtest86+.bin", I get a cannot find kernel memtest86+
| |
| 12:14 | with 3 lines: "default memtest86+", "label memtest86+" and "kernel memtest86+.bin" I get an infinite loop of lines with one entry: 8000
| |
| 12:15 | Trying to do more reading to figure this out...
| |
| 12:23 | <alkisg> FrozenZia: try also renaming the file etc so that it doesn't have a "+"
| |
| 12:23 | I think I remember some related errors about pxelinux..
| |
| 12:40 | <FrozenZia> alkisg: thanks, but still no go, and the same problems as before, so I don't think it's the naming...
| |
| 12:42 | <alkisg> FrozenZia: ah, a second though - maybe it was the .bin extension, can you also try with plain "memtest86" ?
| |
| 12:45 | <FrozenZia> Brilliant - that was it! THANKS!
| |
| 12:45 | (and wtf?) that seems really weird.
| |
| 12:47 | bakyt has left IRC (bakyt!~ba@158.181.152.9, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 12:47 | <alkisg> I think for some systems the .bin extension is special for booting, and pxelinux considers it special too
| |
| 12:47 | Ask in #syslinux for more details :)

| 22:39 | <ltspuser_76> Hello again. I have given up on LTSP via LinuxMint and gone back to centos-6.3. With a timely page on the internet I have the server up and running an EL_6 chroot. When I boot the client dhcp gives it an address and the crawler proceeds across the screen, turns white at the end and then just sits there. I have /opt/ltsp and /home exported. Firewall is turned off. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
| |
| 22:40 | The crawler logo is Scientific 6.1
| |
| 22:41 | The client is a Compaq EN, 866 PIII, 128MB RAM. Is it the RAM size?

| |
| 22:48 | <ltspuser_76> vagrantc: Everything up to actual client boot looks fine. Perhaps it's just the size of the env being downloaded. I'll try tomorrow with a meatier client, but that's not what we have in the field. :(
| |
| 22:59 | My "frozen" screen eventually times out to a console screen and I see mention of 'mount.nfs connection timed out' so it's probably a config issue I've messed up. Tomorrow...
| |
| 23:06 | <||cw> last time I tried 128MB ram was with ubuntu 10.04, and it was barely enough to not want to swap
