00:00 | <bennabiy> you ever tried to do a 7.1 install on older server hardware? I have an IBM eServer 235 which the network is not working properly.
| |
00:00 | I think I am just going to add a nic to it, and see if that fixes it.
| |
00:11 | <vagrantc> pretty much exclusively do server installs via network boot
| |
00:11 | so the first issue to resolve is networking ... usually only a matter of loading the firmware from usb

00:44 | <bennabiy> Someone was looking for you earlier, but cant recall who now
| |
00:44 | How is it going?
| |
00:44 | <sunweaver> tired! Local time is 2:44 and I have been working on packaging MATE the whole night.
| |
00:45 | <bennabiy> YAY!
| |
00:45 | I love MATE (both the DE and the drink)
| |
00:45 | <sunweaver> hehehe...
| |
00:45 | <bennabiy> I am drinking my gourd now
| |
00:45 | <sunweaver> MATE works really smooth in X2Go and so it also probably does in LTSP.

15:22 | <bennabiy> hey vagrantc
| |
15:23 | how long does dpkg-scanpackages take to run on a full deb 7.1 repo?
| |
15:26 | <vagrantc> no idea
| |
15:26 | but why?
| |
15:26 | i mean, what are you trying to do?
| |
15:32 | bennabiy: there are many tools to generate apt repositories, i would not reccommend doing it manually
| |
15:34 | <bennabiy> I am about to do an assortment of various deb installs, and I pulled all the .deb files to make a local repository. I am generating the Packages.gz file
| |
15:35 | That way I can do each install over the local network, rather than pulling from the inet each time
| |
15:35 | I was looking for you earlier to see if that was the best way to do it, but you werent here. ;)
| |
15:35 | <vagrantc> i'd reccommend using reprepro
| |
15:36 | <bennabiy> Can that be run on mint 15?
| |
15:36 | <vagrantc> alternately, approx or maybe apt-cacher-ng
| |
15:36 | bennabiy: how would i know? :p
| |
15:37 | <bennabiy> That is my issue... All my machines in the office are mint or kubuntu based .. and I am about to set up about 4 or 5 deb servers
| |
15:37 | I feel bad about communicating about non-ltsp specific things in here, is there a better way to reach you?
| |
15:37 | <vagrantc> i would e surprised if any of those wasn't available for mint
| |
15:38 | or ubuntu
| |
15:38 | <bennabiy> have you ever used MATE on debian?
| |
15:38 | <vagrantc> no need to reach me specifically
| |
15:38 | i have not
| |
15:39 | i prefer to stick with debian and not use external repositories
| |
15:39 | saves a lot of headache
| |
15:39 | <bennabiy> that makes sense
| |
15:40 | <vagrantc> but i prefer to help people in public channels... more people benefit that way
| |
15:40 | <bennabiy> I agree
| |
15:40 | brunolambert has left IRC (brunolambert!~brunolamb@64.254.228.2, Quit: Leaving.) | |
15:41 | <bennabiy> Just some channels are very much devoted to sticking to the topic of the channel, so other questions are not so advised.

15:44 | <alkisg> If you install the packages you want in one server, they get cached in /var/cache/apt/archives, and then if you just copy them to other servers before installing those packages, they will be read from the cache instead of pulled from the internet
| |
15:44 | <vagrantc> there are some features like --mount-package-cache and --mount-package-lists and such to help
| |
15:45 | <bennabiy> alkisg! would that work if I want different things installed to each?
| |
15:45 | <vagrantc> for ltsp-build-client
| |
15:45 | <alkisg> Sure, you only need to have the debs in that folder
| |
15:45 | Additional debs don't cause problems
| |
15:46 | And apt-get clean after installation deletes them, if you want to save space
| |
15:46 | <bennabiy> What happens if I run apt-get update? would those packages in that folder be upgraded if there are new version and I run the upgrade?
| |
15:46 | * vagrantc waves to alkisg | |
15:46 | <alkisg> Hi vagrantc :)
| |
15:47 | <bennabiy> btw, alkisg: I finally got the audio fixed...
| |
15:47 | <alkisg> If newer debs are available on the internet, those will be downloaded in the cache instead of the stored ones
| |
15:47 | Yup I saw it in the mailing list
| |
15:47 | * vagrantc really wants to get that fix into debian | |
15:48 | <bennabiy> Is there a way I could go about getting a ltsp for mint setup, so I could post specific fixes which need to apply for mint?
| |
15:48 | at the moment, my build client has to build from ubuntu, but I think I could make a mint specific
| |
15:49 | I noticed on https://code.launchpad.net/ltsp I could download the codebase, but where would I go from there?
| |
15:51 | <vagrantc> bennabiy: is ltsp-server available n mint?
| |
15:51 | ad ltsp-client?
| |
15:52 | the packages... they just don't work?
| |
15:52 | <bennabiy> yes
| |
15:53 | it is the build client scripts which are not
| |
15:53 | <vagrantc> probably just a few minor tweaks in /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/
| |
15:54 | <bennabiy> I have to do some magic redirection to cause it to pull the files for the client image and chroot from ubuntu instead of mint
| |
15:54 | that is what I thought
| |
15:54 | but it hasnt been done yet
| |
15:54 | and I do not want to have to keep doing it
| |
15:54 | ;)
| |
15:54 | <vagrantc> what does lsb_release say?
| |
15:56 | <bennabiy> on the client?
| |
15:56 | or on my server?
| |
15:56 | <vagrantc> on a mint comuter
| |
15:56 | er. mint install
| |
15:56 | <bennabiy> No LSB modules are available
| |
15:56 | <alkisg> lsb_release -sa
| |
15:57 | brunolambert has left IRC (brunolambert!~brunolamb@64.254.228.2, Quit: Leaving.) | |
15:57 | <alkisg> Generally you can just file bug reports on ltsp to add simple things like supporting mint...
| |
15:58 | !ltsp-bug
| |
15:58 | <ltsp`> ltsp-bug: To file a bug report for upstream LTSP, go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp
| |
15:58 | <bennabiy> $ lsb_release -sa
| |
15:58 | No LSB modules are available.
| |
15:58 | LinuxMint
| |
15:58 | Linux Mint 15 Olivia
| |
15:58 | 15
| |
15:58 | olivia
| |
15:59 | <vagrantc> although there's debian and ubuntu based mint, just tokeep it difficult
| |
15:59 | <bennabiy> This is Ubuntu based
| |
15:59 | <alkisg> The debian-based might report LMDE in lsb_release... we'll have to check
| |
15:59 | <vagrantc> that'd be good
| |
16:00 | <bennabiy> to make the distinction
| |
16:00 | <alkisg> For starters, you could try symlinking /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu to /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/LinuxMint
| |
16:00 | <vagrantc> when i have some free time i could set up vm and try it
| |
16:00 | <bennabiy> alkisg that is what I do
| |
16:00 | <vagrantc> you'll need a different 00base or whatever it's called
| |
16:01 | for the mirror defaults
| |
16:01 | <bennabiy> and then when you build the client you need to specify architecture as well as release ( using the ubuntu release codename)
| |
16:01 | <vagrantc> maybe a handfull of others
| |
16:01 | <alkisg> Are the mint mirrors compatible or the same with the ubuntu ones?
| |
16:01 | Pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list ...
| |
16:02 | <vagrantc> bennabiy: but you should be able to use mint mirrors and codenames
| |
16:02 | <bennabiy> I know. but it has not been set up yet.
| |
16:04 | that is why I am wanting to set it up, and then have it available worldwide, because I am not the only mint user who does ltsp, although mint support of ltsp is not very well documented
| |
16:04 | <alkisg> In your case it's worse, it's a mixed setup, mint server, ubuntu chroot
| |
16:05 | <bennabiy> It is because the script has not been set up to pull actual mint chroot, but I think it is possible, and am willing to try it, if I know how to post my results when I do it
| |
16:05 | * bennabiy is horrible at communicating | |
16:06 | <vagrantc> ltsp-build-client --copy-souceslist might be interesting
| |
16:06 | * vagrantc wonders if mint debootstrap supports mint | |
16:07 | <bennabiy> hmm. isnt there an option to tell ltsp where to put the new build?
| |
16:07 | so I do not mess up my current setup
| |
16:08 | <vagrantc> --chroot-name ?
| |
16:09 | <bennabiy> !seen yanu
| |
16:09 | <ltsp`> yanu was last seen in #ltsp 35 weeks, 5 days, 0 hours, 8 minutes, and 18 seconds ago: <yanu> fuzai: this is what I saved once :http://pastebin.com/Snt1tK4s
| |
16:10 | <bennabiy> ltsp-build-client --base /opt/ltsp_new --copy-sources
| |
16:10 | --base
| |
16:11 | <vagrantc> that's another way to do it
| |
16:11 | but then you'll need to reconfigure NFS or NBD to use the alternate location
| |
16:12 | <bennabiy> I could make a special rule for my mac address to issue that image instead
| |
16:13 | <vagrantc> yes, you'll have to configure dhcp in either case
| |
16:14 | ltsp-update-kernels with an alternate --base will probably break...
| |
16:14 | i.e. delete the kernels and initrd images
| |
16:17 | <bennabiy> true.. perhaps I could just make a copy of the image files, remove them, and then try it... all else fails, move it back in place
| |
16:18 | those images only are needed to boot the client, right? So once the client is booted, those images can disappear and be replaced

17:07 | it's not strictly a mirror... it caches packages as you request them, so the second try is local
