| 02:28 | <pentest> Host OS Xubuntu 13.04 is the LTSP server. 1 wifi card connected to Internet. I have got wlan0 (addr:192.168.1.2) and virbr0 (addr:192.168.122.1). Thin Client Guest OS installed in Virtual Box. Is it possible to have Thin Client boot-up with this LTSP server plz using virbr0? Note I have 1 physical NIC and 1 virtual NIC.
| |
| 02:31 | <vagrantc> should be.
| |
| 02:33 | <pentest> thanks.. I think you answered before.. appreciate this.. a pointer will be helpful..
| |
| 02:33 | so what so I need to do to make virbr0 to run the dhcp server and how to choose this interface for the thinclient os
| |
| 02:34 | <vagrantc> you'd just need to configure your server to be on virbr0, and dhcp to list on that range, and hand out the appropriate information (see /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf)
| |
| 02:34 | and then configure the client to network boot
| |
| 02:35 | the physical nic and virtual nics shouldn't matter, if you really just want to boot the virtual thin client
| |
| 02:35 | <pentest> ok get that...
| |
| 02:36 | so you saying I do not need to point the thin client to use virbr0 interface
| |
| 02:36 | <vagrantc> depends on how you have your networking configured...
| |
| 02:36 | your client and server need to share a network, and have the dhcp configuration on that network
| |
| 02:37 | <pentest> yes indeed.. let me try couple of things first.. I will come back here..
| |
| 02:37 | <vagrantc> i don't know what the default networking you have for your virtualbox thin client, but it shouldn't be hard to put that on virbr0 as well as your server
| |
| 02:37 | you might have to disable virtualbox's built-in dhcp server
| |
| 02:38 | <pentest> right.. let me do this one by one..thanks

| 07:31 | <pentest> guys I am stuck.. please help..here is the details
| |
| 07:31 | Host OS Xubuntu 13.04 is the LTSP server. 1 wifi card connected to Internet. I have got wlan0 (addr:192.168.1.2) and virbr0 (addr:192.168.122.1). Thin Client Guest OS installed in Virtual Box. dhcpd.conf edited with these values:
| |
| 07:31 | authoritative;
| |
| 07:31 | subnet 192.168.122.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
| |
| 07:31 | range 192.168.122.20 192.168.122.250;
| |
| 07:31 | option domain-name "example.com";
| |
| 07:31 | option domain-name-servers 192.168.122.1;
| |
| 07:31 | option broadcast-address 192.168.122.255;
| |
| 07:32 | option routers 192.168.122.1;
| |
| 07:32 | Thin client virtual network is this: Attached to: Bridged Adapter, Name: virbr0.
| |
| 07:32 | When booting up says searching for server ip (DHCP)....No IP.No IP.No IP.
| |
| 07:39 | <Hyperbyte> pentest, are you sure the virtual machine has network access?
| |
| 07:40 | Try booting some live Linux in the virtual machine and ping your dhcp server, also manually request a dhcp lease
| |
| 07:40 | <pentest> oh for got to mention that I disabled the virtualbox dhcp server
| |
| 07:41 | <vagrantc> is your ltsp server on virbr0 ?
| |
| 07:41 | <pentest> good point ..let me check
| |
| 07:41 | should be .. the dhcpd.conf
| |
| 07:41 | <vagrantc> and have you restarted dhcp since getting your server on virbr0?
| |
| 07:42 | <pentest> jsut booted up the whole damn thing now..
| |
| 07:42 | <vagrantc> pentest: what are the other options for networking the thin client?
| |
| 07:43 | pentest: i.e. Bridged Adapter vs. what?
| |
| 07:43 | <pentest> one sec mate
| |
| 07:43 | I think I found the error...
| |
| 07:44 | just now booted up lubuntu in virtual box..bridged to virbr0
| |
| 07:44 | did not get any ip for eth0 in lubuntu
| |
| 07:44 | <vagrantc> can you ping 192.168.122.1 ?
| |
| 07:45 | ah, yeah, no dhcp...
| |
| 07:45 | <pentest> pentest@lubuntuclient:~$ ping 192.168.122.1
| |
| 07:45 | connect: Network is unreachable
| |
| 07:45 | so no
| |
| 07:45 | so this is the issue obviously
| |
| 07:46 | <vagrantc> i know virtualbox and libvirt both use a type of network connectivity that doesn't allow access to the server itself, but allows access to the rest of the network, paradoxically
| |
| 07:46 | in libvirt, i think it's called macvtap ...
| |
| 07:47 | pentest: on the server: sudo brctl show virbr0
| |
| 07:47 | <pentest> so when you say libvirt..you mean kvm right
| |
| 07:47 | <vagrantc> no, libvirt works with multiple backends
| |
| 07:48 | <pentest> bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
| |
| 07:48 | virbr0 8000.000000000000 yes
| |
| 07:48 | <vagrantc> including virtualbox even, it seems
| |
| 07:48 | <pentest> okay
| |
| 07:48 | <vagrantc> pentest: the thin client is booted?
| |
| 07:49 | because it looks like you have no interfaces on your switch
| |
| 07:49 | <pentest> that is the quetion.. how can I boot up the thin client
| |
| 07:50 | the whole thing is in my laptop
| |
| 07:50 | <vagrantc> pentest: i mean, is a virtual machine running that is connected to virbr0 ?
| |
| 07:50 | at least, in theory connected ...
| |
| 07:50 | gbaman has joined IRC (gbaman!~gbaman@dab-far1-h-85-4.dab.02.net) | |
| 07:50 | <pentest> sorry mate.. I only start virtual box when I need to boot a machine,,
| |
| 07:50 | <vagrantc> pentest: it should show devices under the interfaces column
| |
| 07:51 | well, it's awfully hard to troubleshoot your problem if you can't even try things :P
| |
| 07:51 | <pentest> I am sure you read the big description that I put in at the beginning of this post..
| |
| 07:51 | <vagrantc> anyways, i should sleep
| |
| 07:51 | <pentest> thanks anway mate..
| |
| 07:51 | please
| |
| 07:51 | later
| |
| 07:53 | <vagrantc> pentest: basically, boot a machine that's supposedly connected to virbr0, and see if an interface then shows up when you "brctl show virbr0"
| |
| 07:53 | pentest: also, check /var/log/syslog to see if it has any mention of the 192.168.122 network ... such as "network not available" or something
| |
| 07:53 | those are my parting suggestions...
| |
| 07:53 | <pentest> but that 's exactly what I just dif..
| |
| 07:54 | thanks mate..
| |
| 07:54 | good night ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
| |
| 07:55 | <vagrantc> if no interface shows up, then virtualbox isn't connecting your virtual machine to virbr0 ... unless it's using something like macvtap, which won't allow you access to the server.
| |
| 07:55 | which would explain it.

| 10:24 | <Bejoy> Can anyone suggest a windows remote desktop client that will connect to a Linux server ?
| |
| 10:25 | <Mava> Bejoy: what are you searching at in the first case
| |
| 10:25 | <Bejoy> Is LTSP intented for this ?
| |
| 10:26 | <Mava> or.. what is the main goal? To connect to linux graphical desktop ?
| |
| 10:27 | <Bejoy> Hi Mav, I have a linux server. I need to run applications on this server from a windows desktop.
| |
| 10:27 | <Mava> aa
| |
| 10:27 | does your linux server run graphical desktop environment such as gnome ?
| |
| 10:27 | <Bejoy> Yes.
| |
| 10:27 | It has gnome
| |
| 10:27 | <Mava> k
| |
| 10:28 | <Bejoy> Please understand that I am new to Linux and only has a basic understanding
| |
| 10:28 | <Mava> two choices: use SSH to connect to the server, or install xrdp server to the linux server, xrdp is a "remote desktop protocol" daemon
| |
| 10:29 | freedomrun has joined IRC (freedomrun!~freedomru@unaffiliated/freedomrun) | |
| 10:29 | <Mava> and after installing xrdp, you can connect to the server using remote desktop client in windows to connect the machine
| |
| 10:29 | <Bejoy> If I install xrdp on the server, what corresponding client do I need to have on the windows desktop?
| |
| 10:30 | <Mava> mstsc == remote desktop client =)
| |
| 10:30 | <Bejoy> Do you mean I cann connect with windows remote desktop client itself ?
| |
| 10:30 | <Mava> yes
| |
| 10:30 | <Bejoy> Ok
| |
| 10:30 | <Mava> but remember not to do the connections through the Internet
| |
| 10:31 | I have not examined how secure the connection is, so I really cant guarantee it is safe to run through internet
| |
| 10:31 | <Bejoy> I have the server on the cloud, in this case what options do I have...
| |
| 10:31 | <Mava> SSH
| |
| 10:31 | <Bejoy> Ok
| |
| 10:32 | Thanks a lot Mava :-) Really appreciate the help.
| |
| 10:32 | <Mava> any time, enjoy =)

| |
| 15:37 | <bennabiy> Edwin_ can you post logs through pastebin? Does the client go through the normal steps, but not come to the LDM window?
| |
| 15:39 | <slackish> ||cw: canonical changed their policy of how long normal ubuntu releases would be supported. that policy changed happened after 12.10 and before 13.04

| 15:45 | <bennabiy> slackish: Are you familiar with the ltsp-build-client process?
| |
| 15:52 | <slackish> bennabiy: I've done it. One point in time, I followed through the script. Whats up?
| |
| 15:52 | <edwin_> sorryyyyyy
| |
| 15:52 | I am back again'
| |
| 15:52 | the system is up tp date
| |
| 15:53 | yes to the steps
| |
| 15:53 | yes to the familiar with build client a little bit
| |
| 15:54 | when it's tme to bring the X I can see the little wheels loading
| |
| 15:54 | and it keeps blinking like every second or two
| |
| 15:55 | I get the to see ubuntu 12.10 with the purple background
| |
| 15:55 | <bennabiy> slackish: I am building a client from my custom ppa of ltsp and ldm-server package (which contains a custom theme) and that theme is not making it into my client
| |
| 15:55 | basically an ubuntu / linuxmint chroot
| |
| 15:56 | <edwin_> I am going to test the client right now it has pupyy linux on it
| |
| 15:56 | <bennabiy> edwin_: you should press escape during that screen and see what it says, or try to drop to a shell
| |
| 15:56 | <edwin_> one sec
| |
| 15:56 | ok
| |
| 15:56 | <bennabiy> Are you trying to boot a fat client?
| |
| 15:56 | <acesabe> bennabiy, sounds like the build script isn't honouring your ppa in the sources.list
| |
| 15:56 | check that if I were you
| |
| 15:56 | <bennabiy> acesabe: that is what I was thinking
| |
| 15:57 | would it access the sources.list.d ?
| |
| 15:57 | <acesabe> had this issue with our local apt mirror not being used
| |
| 15:57 | <bennabiy> or just what is in sources.list?
| |

| |
| 16:01 | <edwin_> I just boot the thin client to puppy linux
| |
| 16:01 | all good
| |
| 16:04 | * bennabiy scratches his head... | |
| 16:05 | <bennabiy> Ubuntu booting a client to puppy linux...
| |
| 16:05 | ?
| |
| 16:05 | <edwin_> no no
| |
| 16:05 | the thin client has puppy in it
| |
| 16:05 | it boots ok
| |
| 16:05 | <bennabiy> sometimes those hp thin clients need to use somewhat of a fat client approach
| |
| 16:05 | <edwin_> I mean is that something must be wrong in the ltsp conf that the thin client cannot get to X terminal
| |
| 16:06 | <bennabiy> I use the st5742s and they are made for pxebooting
| |
| 16:07 | when you see the graphics trying to kick in, CTRL-ALT-F2 to shell and check the logs
| |
| 16:07 | <edwin_> ok hold on
| |
| 16:07 | <bennabiy> If you have enabled SCREEN_02 to be shell

| |

| |
| 18:54 | <bennabiy> vagrantc: I am just needing to get the detection right on how to test for the three cases, and then it looks like I have most other things in place.
| |
| 18:55 | I tested which packages to install early, and which to do late, and made some adjustments
| |
| 18:59 | <edwin_> I have a thin client that doesn't display correct
| |
| 18:59 | anyone?
| |
| 18:59 | I have tested this configuration with other equpment and it works fine
| |
| 18:59 | the thin client has uppy linux n it , it works fine too
| |
| 19:00 | If i switch to a shell it works
| |
| 19:00 | the thing is the graphic part
| |
| 19:02 | <alkisg> edwin_: things to try:
| |
| 19:02 | <edwin_> hit it
| |
| 19:02 | <alkisg> lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA ==> reports driver in use
| |
| 19:03 | <edwin_> in server?
| |
| 19:03 | <alkisg> LDM_SESSION=xterm in lts.conf ==> tests if there are problem with unity, compiz etc,
| |
| 19:03 | no, that one goes in a localxterm on the client
| |
| 19:03 | !localxterm
| |
| 19:03 | <ltsp`> localxterm: Any applications that you launch on a thin client actually runs on the server, not on the client itself. If you want to open a program on the client locally, you can type 'ltsp-localapps <program>' in a run dialog or in a terminal. For example, 'ltsp-localapps xterm' to open a terminal running on the client.
| |
| 19:03 | <alkisg> !SCREEN_02
| |
| 19:03 | <ltsp`> SCREEN_02: To get a root shell on an Ubuntu thin client: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using_a_shell_SCREEN
| |
| 19:03 | <alkisg> Also, XSERVER=vesa might help to get an initial screen working
| |
| 19:03 | (again in lts.conf)
| |
| 19:04 | <bennabiy> welcome alkisg :)
| |
| 19:04 | <alkisg> Hey bennabiy, hi all
| |
| 19:05 | <bennabiy> What time is it over there?
| |
| 19:05 | <edwin_> ok let me try
| |
| 19:05 | <alkisg> edwin_: also, when you say "it doesn't display correct", do you mean LDM? Or after login? And, how exactly "not correctly"?
| |
| 19:05 | 10:05 pm
| |
| 19:05 | <edwin_> before login
| |
| 19:05 | it keeps blinking
| |
| 19:05 | like every 1 o 2 second
| |
| 19:05 | <bennabiy> edwin_ do you ever see the login screen?
| |
| 19:05 | <edwin_> I get the to see the little wheel spinning
| |
| 19:05 | no
| |
| 19:06 | no with the thin client other computers yes
| |
| 19:06 | <bennabiy> Did you try to customize your chroot after building it?
| |
| 19:06 | <edwin_> no
| |
| 19:06 | <alkisg> You don't have LDM_AUTOLOGIN set in lts.conf, do you?
| |
| 19:07 | /var/log/Xorg.7.log.old on the client will tell you the Xorg errors
| |
| 19:07 | <edwin_> I have but with another mac
| |
| 19:07 | <alkisg> Disable LDM_AUTOLOGIN temporarily in case you missed something there
| |
| 19:07 | <bennabiy> alkisg: do you know if the ltsp-build-client scripts would honor my ppa on the server for grabbing packages?
| |
| 19:07 | <alkisg> bennabiy: if you specify that in a --mirror parameter, yeah...
| |
| 19:07 | Or with --copy-sources something
| |
| 19:08 | * alkisg doesn't ever use ltsp-build-client so he's fuzzy on the details there | |
| 19:08 | <bennabiy> ahh, thank you
| |
| 19:08 | I knew there was an option.
| |
| 19:08 | <vagrantc> bennabiy: you know, mint might actually be done more simply with ltsp-pnp style stuff, the stuff that alkisg uses :)
| |
| 19:09 | <alkisg> Mint would work out of the box there :)
| |
| 19:09 | <d{-_o}b_bennabiy> except I do not use fat clients :)
| |
| 19:09 | <vagrantc> since it basically builds a fat or thin client out of the running server
| |
| 19:09 | you can still use it for thin clients
| |
| 19:09 | <edwin_> I just try a edubuntu ltsp and it works
| |
| 19:09 | something wrong in my conf
| |
| 19:09 | hehehehe
| |
| 19:10 | thats good I will be dealing with edubuntu anyway
| |
| 19:10 | thanks all
| |
| 19:10 | <d{-_o}b_bennabiy> vagrantc: I guess it might work, but I fail to see the benefit when I am running all thin clients (which I do not need everything on the server taking up space in the clients ram)
| |
| 19:11 | <alkisg> Fat chroots don't need more ram
| |
| 19:11 | <d{-_o}b_bennabiy> alkisg: how does it work then?
| |
| 19:11 | <alkisg> ltsp-pnp makes it easier to install e.g. properiatery drivers,
| |
| 19:12 | and to use localapps on thin clients...
| |
| 19:12 | A fat image is just bigger than a thin image
| |
| 19:12 | But both images aren't loaded in RAM
| |
| 19:12 | They get read "sector by sector" (NBD) or "file by file" as needed...
| |
| 19:13 | It's possible to have a 10 Gb image, and boot an 128 MB client with it
| |
| 19:13 | ...just as it's possible to boot an 128 MB client from a 10 GB local hard disk
| |
| 19:13 | If you had a 10 TB local hard disk, it wouldn't mean it would boot slower...
| |
| 19:14 | <d{-_o}b_bennabiy> Hmm. I might need to test it in a virtual situation before going live with it
| |
| 19:14 | This machine would have been a good test, if I didnt have to send it off so soon
| |
| 19:15 | alkisg: I will look into that, but for now I am using standard ltsp
| |
| 19:15 | <alkisg> Sure
| |
| 19:15 | Whatever suits everyone
| |
| 19:15 | <d{-_o}b_bennabiy> !ltsp-pnp
| |
| 19:15 | <ltsp`> ltsp-pnp: ltsp-pnp is an alternative (upstream) method to maintain LTSP installations for thin and fat clients that doesn't involve chroots: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
