| 14:08 | <markit> hi alkisg :) a friend of mine has upgraded teh server and chroot, but now fat clients are stuck in "busybox initramfs" error after ubuntu boot screen, any idea?
| |
| 14:17 | <alkisg> markit: upgraded from what to what?
| |
| 14:18 | <markit> now he is going to that school, 20 min to arrive. As far as I've understood, simply something like "aptitude full-upgrade" inside a 12.04-32 or 64 bit
| |
| 14:19 | also strange he says to have a "/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/ltsp" file that I've not (besides the 'default' one)
| |
| 14:19 | <alkisg> markit: was he using the greek schools ppa?
| |
| 14:19 | <markit> yes
| |
| 14:19 | <alkisg> $ ls /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/
| |
| 14:19 | default ltsp ltsp-NBD ltsp-versions-AOE ltsp-versions-NFS
| |
| 14:19 | default.original ltsp-AOE ltsp-NFS ltsp-versions-NBD memtest
| |
| 14:20 | ltsp-pnp, or plain fat chroot?
| |
| 14:20 | <markit> plain fat root
| |
| 14:20 | ah, mine (not yet upgraded) is
| |
| 14:21 | root@gs1204:~# ls /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/
| |
| 14:21 | default default_ORIGINALE ltsp-NBD ltsp-NFS ltsp-versions-NBD ltsp-versions-NFS memtest
| |
| 14:22 | <alkisg> Yup, that new "ltsp" file replaces the "default" file, which now becomes a symlink
| |
| 14:22 | <markit> will the upgrade process bring me to a config like yours, or I should purge packages and config and recreate?
| |
| 14:22 | <alkisg> Just update
| |
| 14:22 | <markit> "now" means from 5.4 o 5.5 I guess
| |
| 14:22 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
| 14:22 | <markit> I've to update my notes too then, lol
| |
| 14:23 | * markit has a moving targhet | |
| 14:23 | <alkisg> The change was done in order to allow someone to edit the "default" file
| |
| 14:23 | Without it being overwritten in upgrades
| |
| 14:23 | And there are new symlinks now, e.g. ltsp-generic, ltsp-generic-pae etc
| |
| 14:24 | So it's much easier to create and maintain a custom default file, or per-client 01-mac-address files
| |
| 14:24 | <markit> mm his "default" (now he is at school) is not a symlink I see
| |
| 14:25 | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 196 gen 10 13:14 default
| |
| 14:25 | <alkisg> tell him to vnc to me, x11vnc -connect alkisg.dyndns.org

| 14:28 | <markit> ok
| |
| 14:28 | as root (sudo) or simple user?
| |
| 14:30 | <alkisg> simple user
| |
| 14:30 | (or from the epoptes remote assistance dialog..)
| |
| 14:31 | <markit> btw, after upgrade I've the same files
| |
| 14:31 | # ls /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/
| |
| 14:31 | default default_ORIGINALE ltsp-NBD ltsp-NFS ltsp-versions-NBD ltsp-versions-NFS memtest
| |
| 14:32 | but don't want to distract you
| |
| 14:32 | <alkisg> After updating the chroot AND running ltsp-update-image?
| |
| 14:33 | <markit> ehm, no, I proceed then
| |
| 14:34 | he is trying through epoptes now
| |
| 14:35 | mmm says is not going through, he retries with x11vnc -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
| |
| 14:36 | <alkisg> markit: can you try it from your current pc to verify that it works?
| |
| 14:36 | He does have internet connection, right?
| |
| 14:36 | <markit> yep, he is in chat (gmail chat) right now with me
| |
| 14:37 | seenm that he can't resolve your hostname, let me try
| |
| 14:37 | <alkisg> 5.54.158.139
| |
| 14:39 | <markit> he says "no way", let ME try
| |
| 14:40 | * markit installing x11vnc | |
| 14:40 | <alkisg> Yup I see you
| |
| 14:41 | <markit> yep
| |
| 14:41 | <alkisg> Wow that's a lot of konsole tabs there :D
| |
| 14:42 | <markit> really :) wondering what's wrong with him
| |
| 14:43 | I've closed the connection and told him to try again
| |
| 14:43 | but we don't want to waste too much of your time
| |
| 14:44 | <alkisg> markit: he closed the vnc session
| |
| 14:45 | The problem is the "default" file, and I think the specific problem is that he doesn't have the ppa in the chroot
| |
| 14:45 | But I didn't get a chance to verify that, he closed vnc
| |
| 14:46 | <markit> x11vnc on his side is at line "10/01/2014 15:48:23 called initialize_xfixes()"
| |
| 14:47 | if you want you can have ssh direct access
| |
| 14:48 | he tries vnc again for the last time
| |
| 14:48 | <alkisg> markit: he connected to me, yes that was the problem
| |
| 14:48 | He only had the ppa in the server, not in the chroot
| |
| 14:49 | But he can't, or won't, enter his sudo -i password for me to add the ppa to his chroot...
| |
| 14:49 | <markit> maybe he did not realized his intervention was requred
| |
| 14:49 | he trusts you blindly, be sure :)
| |
| 14:49 | <alkisg> I think he's typing something.. .I don't know
| |
| 14:49 | If you can, ask him what is going wrong
| |
| 14:50 | <markit> had been distracted by someone, and did not noticed you were waiting his input
| |
| 14:53 | unfortunately I've to run to take my children from sky
| |
| 14:53 | alkisg: in any case, thanks a lot lot lot for your help
| |
| 14:54 | maybe you can chat with him someway through vnc if needed
| |
| 14:54 | later I will try the upgrade of my test VM too
| |
| 14:54 | (yep, I've greek ppa in chroot ;P)
| |
| 14:56 | <alkisg> markit:
| |
| 14:56 | he has dns issues, i'll leave those for you as I don't know how you want to solve them
| |
| 14:56 | I'll do the chroot part

| 15:17 | <Guest33409> when the client shutdown a splash screen appears, blocked
| |

| |
| 15:17 | <Guest33409> exactly
| |
| 15:18 | <alkisg> So fat23 and fat24 now didn't shut off?
| |
| 15:19 | <Guest33409> they return squashfs error on shutdown now
| |
| 15:19 | <alkisg> I see... did they do that before the upgrade?
| |
| 15:19 | <Guest33409> no
| |
| 15:19 | <alkisg> OK, let me try something
| |
| 15:21 | Did fat21 shut down?
| |
| 15:21 | <Guest33409> yes
| |
| 15:21 | <alkisg> OK that's really weird :)
| |
| 15:21 | Can you boot them again, to verify it?
| |
| 15:22 | <Guest33409> done
| |
| 15:24 | <alkisg> Did fat23 and fat24 shut down?
| |
| 15:25 | <Guest33409> yes it works
| |
| 15:25 | <alkisg> Last one, did fat21 and fat22 shut down?
| |
| 15:25 | <Guest33409> no, 21 & 22 with squashfs error

| 16:24 | <ncom0pl> Hello. I'm new to LTSP but I've just recently bought 10 HP T5520 thin clients and I'm having some issues with setting it up on my already running ubuntu server 12.04.3 LTS.
| |
| 16:25 | markit has left IRC (markit!~marco@88-149-177-66.v4.ngi.it, ) | |
| 16:27 | <ncom0pl> I'd appreciate any help. I had a headless ubuntu server machine(didn't need GUI/desktop environment) running for some time, and now I'm trying to incorporate LTSP server into it.
| |
| 16:28 | <other_ot1er_joe> whats the problem?
| |
| 16:28 | <ncom0pl> Some things have been a little confusing to me. Do I have to install a desktop environment itself on the machine, or does it install with the LTSP package?
| |
| 16:28 | So far I've installed ltsp-server-standalone.
| |
| 16:29 | <other_ot1er_joe> you'll need to install a gui on the server
| |
| 16:29 | <ncom0pl> The thin client boot's, I get to the LDM login screen, but when I try to login it "Verifies the password", then goes to black screen for a sec, and then sertarts the login screen again.
| |
| 16:29 | <other_ot1er_joe> the clients will use X11 forwarding to run that gui
| |
| 16:30 | !manual
| |
| 16:30 | <ltsp> manual: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download
| |
| 16:30 | <other_ot1er_joe> have a read over this
| |
| 16:30 | it should help you out quite a bit
| |
| 16:30 | the man page for lts.conf is also quite helpful
| |
| 16:31 | if you've got the clients booting and LDM showing up, you're well on your way. The hard part is over.
| |
| 16:31 | <ncom0pl> Okay, thanks, I'll have a read. I guess it's okay to install some other DE like MATE, Xfce or even LXDE rather than the default Unity for ubuntu?
| |
| 16:32 | <other_ot1er_joe> sure
| |
| 16:32 | I run fat clients with LXDE myself
| |
| 16:33 | <ncom0pl> I'm wondering if it will eun on those thin clients anyway, as they have just 128MB of RAM.
| |
| 16:36 | WEll, the manual says it's enough so I'm crossing fingers.

| |

| 18:54 | <ncom0pl> I managed to set up MATE and LXDE to work locally on the server, but when trying to log in via thin client it just restarts the LDM... Any ineas anyone?
| |
| 18:55 | <alkisg> Which distro/version?
| |
| 18:55 | <ncom0pl> In the ldm.log it says "starting X session", and the next second it goes "X session ended".
| |
| 18:55 | Ubuntu Server 12.04.3
| |
| 18:55 | <alkisg> !screen_02
| |
| 18:55 | <ltsp> screen_02: To get a root shell on an Ubuntu thin client: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using_a_shell_SCREEN
| |
| 18:55 | <alkisg> From there, try: ssh user@server
| |
| 18:55 | Replace user with an existing username, leave server exactly as it is, don't replace it with anything
| |
| 18:57 | <ncom0pl> Okay, it connewcted through ssh and let me log in.
| |
| 18:57 | <alkisg> Did you see any warning about "trusting server" etc?
| |
| 18:58 | <ncom0pl> Nope, nothing, just asked for pass and logged in.
| |
| 18:58 | <alkisg> OK. Server side: tail -F /var/log/auth.log
| |
| 18:58 | Client side, alt+ctrl+f7, try to login in ldm
| |
| 18:58 | Did the authentication try succeed?
| |
| 19:01 | <ncom0pl> Yeah, but then it goes "Jan 10 19:58:16 balin sshd[6909]: error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket." in the auth.log.
| |
| 19:01 | <alkisg> Hmm google that, it might mean that your sshd disallows ssh -X,
| |
| 19:02 | and in the meantime, you can try with [Default] LDM_DIRECTX=True in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
| |
| 19:03 | <ncom0pl> Do I have to reboot the thin client after modifying lts.conf?
| |
| 19:03 | staffencasa has left IRC (staffencasa!~staffenca@8-220.ptpg.oregonstate.edu, Ping timeout: 272 seconds) | |
| 19:03 | <alkisg> No
| |
| 19:03 | Ah sorry
| |
| 19:03 | Yes, the client yes, the server no
| |
| 19:03 | :)
| |
| 19:04 | <ncom0pl> K, thanks :).
| |
| 19:07 | No change with LDM_DIRECTX=True, googling the ssh issue.
| |
| 19:08 | <alkisg> From screen_02=shell, does `getltscfg -a` return the LDM_DIRECTX line?
| |
| 19:08 | I.e. did the configuration change actually reach the client?
| |
| 19:09 | <ncom0pl> Yes it does.
| |
| 19:10 | <alkisg> OK, check google, e.g. "either put "AddressFamily inet" in the sshd_conf "...
| |
| 19:12 | <ncom0pl> MAGIC!
| |
| 19:12 | Yup, the "AddressFamily inet" did the trick
| |
| 19:13 | Thank You so much, I really struggled with it.
| |
| 19:13 | Wouldn't think it was an ssh issue.
| |
| 19:14 | <alkisg> You're welcome
| |
| 19:15 | <ncom0pl> Actually I was checking it on a laptop via PXE. Now let's chceck how it goes with the actual thin client with 128MB RAM onboard...
| |
| 19:16 | <alkisg> With 128 mb ram you'd better use some tricks... like disabling sound, localdev, localapps etc
| |
| 19:17 | And you might want to use a newer ltsp version which saves some more ram, replacing cdpinger with udev rules etc etc
| |
| 19:17 | !greek-schools-ppa
| |
| 19:17 | <ltsp> greek-schools-ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa/ supports LTS Ubuntu releases with newer LTSP versions, bug fixes etc
| |
| 19:18 | <ncom0pl> I was wondering if I could set up the thin client to use a swap partition.
| |
| 19:18 | ||cw has left IRC (||cw!~chris@phpgroupware/cw, Ping timeout: 252 seconds) | |
| 19:18 | <ncom0pl> SWAP is not RAM, but it's better than running out of RAM...
| |
| 19:19 | <alkisg> It should automatically use NBD_SWAP from the server
| |
| 19:19 | Check `free` on the client screen_02
| |
| 19:19 | <ncom0pl> Yeah, I did, and it says 0 swap.
| |
| 19:19 | <alkisg> Do you have an /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/swap.conf file on the server?
| |
| 19:20 | ||cw has joined IRC (||cw!~chris@phpgroupware/cw) | |
| 19:20 | <ncom0pl> Nope, no such file.
| |
| 19:22 | <alkisg> Try this, I don't remember if it's there in 12.04 vanilla: sudo ltsp-config nbd-server
| |
| 19:22 | And check if it created the file
| |
| 19:24 | <ncom0pl> It's not there, ltsp-config: command not found.
| |
| 19:29 | The 128MB RAM thin client freezes when logging in, probably due to low RAM.
| |
| 19:30 | It has less than 2500K RAM before logging in...
| |
| 19:30 | free RAM*
| |
| 19:32 | <alkisg> I'd advice you to add that ppa to your server + chroot sources.list...
| |
| 19:32 | <ncom0pl> Yep, I'll try to do taht now.
| |
| 19:32 | <alkisg> If you don't want to, I think there's a wiki page that says how to manually create swap.conf
| |
| 19:38 | <ncom0pl> Do I have to ltsp-update-image after upgrading from the ppa?
| |
| 19:41 | willianmazzardo has left IRC (willianmazzardo!~textual@187.4.15.116, Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.) | |
| 19:42 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 19:42 | You need to add it to your sources both in the server and in the chroot
| |
| 19:46 | <ncom0pl> Oh, ok, I only added it in the server.
| |
| 19:47 | Might be a newbie question, but how do I do that in the chroot? And do I have to run some other commands as well after adding in chroot?

| |
| 21:15 | We have just implemented a LTSP server install on LinuxMint 15; problem is I cannot remote to it to assist. All of the clients are working, but I cannot get to the server from the "public" side of my LAN. Any ideas?
| |
| 21:19 | <||cw> "get to" in what way? ssh?
| |
| 21:20 | what have you setup to allow remote assistance?
| |
| 21:22 | <Jeff0411> Either SSH or VNC; neither work.
| |
| 21:23 | I'm not sure where to go to set SSH up to allow access from the "public" side NIC.
