hi, i'm trying to use ltsp 5.3.7-0ubuntu2.5 on zentyal/ubuntu12.04 and its been working for i386 thin clients, but now i need to make an amd64 fat client. but when i boot the clients they always use the i386 image
12:54
on boot i can see it says TFTP prefix: /ltsp/i386
12:54
but on the fat clients this needs to be /ltsp/fat-amd64, or so i think at least.. how can i get it to use the latter?
12:56
i know i can set "fat mode" in lts.conf, but it wont be able to use an amd64 userspace if booted with the i386 kernel from ltsp/i386
12:58
<||cw>
what's controlling the TFTP prefix in your setup?
12:59
<workingcats>
||cw, i suppose that's what my question boils down to :/
12:59* ||cw is looking at his config
12:59
<||cw>
I seem to recall this being confusing when I looked before....
13:00
I'm still on 4.x though
13:00
<workingcats>
hm i'll grep through /etc, maybe it's there
13:01
<||cw>
basically, there's zero technical reason for separate i386 and amd64 tftp roots. one only needs 1 tftp root, and both kernels can live there, with pxe configs/menus controlling which kernel gets sent to which client.
13:01
<workingcats>
good point
13:01
yes that would be preferable
13:02
<||cw>
then, mac based directives in lts.conf to control which gets the amd64 ndb/nfs
13:02
<workingcats>
ah yes i think i get it now
13:02
<||cw>
I'm not sure how much that helps, but if you aren't trying to script ltspserver deployment you can override the default configs and make it work
13:02
<workingcats>
yes that's much better
13:04
<||cw>
that's one of the cool things about ltsp, it's just a collection of standard independent tools with some glue to manage them more efficiently. and for hte most part, that glue is platform independent.
13:05
<workingcats>
yeah. we made the mistake of using a "ready to go" distro that isnt really ready to go, at least not for our needs. so since i didnt set it up (the distro came with it) i don't know how to fix it :/
13:06
<||cw>
it's also generally tolerant of replacing any of the parts, as long as you either modify the glue or do the things it does manually
13:06
<workingcats>
yeah
13:07
ok i think i found what settings i need
13:07
thanks :)
13:07
<||cw>
I need to make some time to upgrade to 5. but 4 is suiting our needs, so there's no priority on it
13:08
<workingcats>
yeah
13:08
i went with very new versions for everything so that if i dont have time to do complex updates it won't be a problem for longer ;)

Hyperbyte, jammcq: I restarted apache2 again because ltsp.org was down. But I see some php errors in /var/log/apache2/error.log
16:13
<jammcq>
hmm
16:13
<alkisg>
Hyperbyte: so I get the idea that maybe some php uncaught exception is what causes the server to die every now and then... could you look at it?

ok made some progress in the meantime.. but i've got a question. i created a new chroot with "ltsp-build-client --fat-client --fat-client-desktop edubuntu-desktop --arch i386 --skipimage", then post-installed fluxbox, removed unity, libreoffice and the edubuntu "metapackage".. but now when I check /var/lib/apt/extended_states EVERYTHING seems to have "Auto installed: 1".. is that normal?
17:32
or should i be asking this in #ubuntu?

NerfBomb, asking twice in a few minutes wont get you a reply any faster ;)
18:00
"who" will tell you who is logged in, maybe thats enough
18:03
the last field (behind the time) gives the IP or hostname, so if you cant find a better way you could always use that
18:03alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg)

you could try using epoptes
18:04
that can report which clients are booted
18:04
amoung other things
18:04
!epoptes

<ltsp>
epoptes: Epoptes is a computer lab administration and monitoring tool. It works on Ubuntu and Debian based labs with LTSP or non-LTSP servers, thin and fat clients, standalone workstations, NX clients etc. More info: http://www.epoptes.org

vagrantc, that sounds useful, cheers
18:06

nbd-server also has a list of clients that have been booted with nbd...

you can get a list of clients from nfs, but it's pretty misleading
18:07
or at least, i've never figured out how to get an accurate list
18:07

well im off for the day, laters everyone
