| 15:27 | <ramshank> hi staffencasa..... my clienst have a flashing black screen when trying to first login to a thin client and also my thin clients freeze on shutdown
| |
| 15:27 | the flash black screen only happens on the first login for about 3 seconds then asks for username again
| |
| 15:28 | <staffencasa> I'm not sure I'm the person you mean to ask
| |
| 15:28 | <ramshank> I would appreciate for anyone to help!
| |
| 15:28 | thanks though staffencasa
| |
| 15:29 | <staffencasa> I'm a beginner, you'd probably not get anything substantial from me, sorry
| |
| 15:29 | sbalneav, ^ ?
| |
| 15:31 | <ramshank> ok I'm a beginner too

| 15:49 | <sbalneav> ramshank: Do you get logged in eventually?
| |
| 16:05 | <ramshank> yes
| |
| 16:05 | the screen only does it on initial first login after tyhat it doenst do it aymore....
| |
| 16:05 | I have jutc changed SCREEN_07 = gdm in my lts.conf hoping that would fix it but I get authentication failure on that so going to switch back to ldm

| 16:20 | gbaman has left IRC (gbaman!~gbaman@81.134.121.245, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 16:21 | <ramshank> any ideas sbalneav ?
| |
| 16:30 | <sbalneav> Anything in syslog on the server?
| |
| 16:33 | <ramshank> nope im not using syslog
| |
| 16:33 | ive flicked back over to ldm, still get the black flash on login screen and enter username twice, tried to use GDM but got authentication failure!
| |
| 16:35 | <sbalneav> gdm won't work unless you do stuff on the server.
| |
| 16:35 | Since you're just getting a flash, seems to me it's an X11 issue.
| |
| 16:35 | What video card is in the clients?
| |
| 16:36 | <ramshank> onboard Intel HD 1696 MB
| |
| 16:36 | ok is there a simple way to getting gdm to work cause that would be preferable anyway if Im honest ?
| |
| 16:37 | <sbalneav> Yes, you'll have to enable XDMCP on your server.
| |
| 16:38 | <ramshank> ok thats done i believe anyway to double check - I'm running CnetOS 6.5
| |
| 16:38 | CentOS 6.5 rather :) yum install xdmcp shows already installed
| |
| 16:39 | <sbalneav> Just because it's installed doesn't mean it's enabled necessarily.
| |
| 16:39 | <ramshank> ok so how to enable it ?
| |
| 16:40 | <sbalneav> No idea on centos.
| |
| 16:40 | Centos channel should be able to help you with that.
| |
| 16:40 | <ramshank> ok so lets go back to X11 any ideas why I'd get the black flash.. only does it once like I say and once you've logged in and go back to log in screen it doesnt do it
| |
| 16:41 | <sbalneav> No idea. Can't be anything to do with ssh keys since you're getting logged in eventually.
| |
| 16:41 | Have you tried a different client?
| |
| 16:41 | One with a different video card?
| |
| 16:42 | <ramshank> yes ive tried different machines they do the same as does a VM
| |
| 16:42 | <sbalneav> Hm.
| |
| 16:43 | Well, not sure what to tell you, I've never seen that behaviour.
| |
| 16:43 | The black flash usually happens when a login fails.
| |
| 16:44 | Tell me, do you have reverse mappings for the terminals either in DNS, or in the server's /etc/hosts file?
| |
| 16:44 | <ramshank> ok ... what about shutting down too, if I click shutdown on the log on screen the machines shut down and then they get stuck at shutting down network connections ... ?
| |
| 16:44 | thanks for your help by the way

| 16:45 | <sbalneav> I don't use the button on the screen myself personally; I just configure the bios' on my machines to power off via the power button.
| |
| 16:45 | <ramshank> ok thanks for your help.. appreciated!
| |
| 16:45 | <sbalneav> NP
| |
| 16:46 | Most users tend to prefer to just hit the power button anyway; easier.

| 20:00 | <effenberg> my clients were stuck in busybox as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/951526
| |
| 20:01 | i followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173749 to setup the server
| |
| 20:02 | i finally managed to get the clients running by adding server ip in the nbdroot option in pxelinux.cfg
| |
| 20:02 | any hints?

| 20:10 | <ltsp> derekn: local-boot: If you want LTSP fat clients on a low-speed network, you can put i386.img on e.g. C:\Boot\LTSP\i386.img and use this command line in pxelinux.cfg: APPEND ro initrd=ltsp/i386/initrd.img init=/sbin/init-ltsp root=/dev/sda1 rootflags=ro loop=/Boot/LTSP/i386.img; IPAPPEND 3

| 20:11 | <alkisg> effenberg: the person that writes that forum post doesn't know ltsp well

| 20:11 | <alkisg> If you're using proxydhcp, then follow the proxydhcp instructions:
| |
| 20:11 | !proxydhcp
| |
| 20:11 | <ltsp> proxydhcp: A proxy DHCP server is defined by the PXE specification as a server which sends auxiliary boot information to clients, like the boot filename, tftp server or rootpath, but leaves the task of IP leasing to the normal DHCP server. More info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP
| |
| 20:14 | <derekn> Actually I have clients at two small sites on different subnets with no local ltsp server that connect across vpn. I was hoping to install the image to the HD and configue the options locally so they're not trying to boot across the VPN
| |
| 20:16 | <effenberg> "nbdroot=:ltsp_i386" will put the clients in busybox
| |
| 20:38 | <alkisg> derekn: just put those options in grub
