I'm starting to think the issue is with the vmlinuz kernel with this Intel NUC. Especially since I'm seeing the non graphical splash screen. I'm going to disable the splash screen and see if that gives me more information.

question, it used to be that the method for installing ubuntu LTSP was grabbing the alternate cd. I don't see an alternate cd for 14.04...is the alternate cd no longer a thing?
15:47
<ogra_>
dead since two years

<gothaggis|work>
haha ok. so just use the desktop image i presume
15:48
<championofcyrodi>
Can someone tell me why this is happening? http://imgur.com/mDF2VSS
15:49
Booting from a livecd, lshw -C network tells me the driver is e1000e for the network interface. Already added that to the modules and rebuilt the kernel, still no luck
15:50
currently i'm looking into 'essential drivers' (ubuntu 12.04.4)
15:52
<ogra_>
well, thats the code that processes the modules file
15:53
which originates from either /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules or /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
15:54
<championofcyrodi>
I figured. Perhaps since the USB Live uses UEFI boot, the e1000e works, however PXE is a legacy PC BIOS boot, which perhaps does not work the same.
15:54
<ogra_>
try /etc/initramfs-tools/modules if /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules didnt work (and rebuild with update-initramfs ... ltsp-update-kernels etc etc)
15:54
<championofcyrodi>
okay, i'll give that a shot.
15:54
<ogra_>
theoretically they should be equivalent, but you never know :)
15:58
<championofcyrodi>
update-initramfs yields:
15:58
root@ltsp:/# update-initramfs -u
15:58
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-61-generic
15:58
df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory
15:58
warning: failed to read mtab
15:58
cat: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory
15:58
however the /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-61-generic file has a recent timestamp
15:58
so it was clearly modified.
16:00
<ogra_>
yeah its all fine
16:00
just warnings you can ignore
16:01
<championofcyrodi>
okay, ltsp update kernels done, and did an image update as well... trying again.

no need for an image update, all that matters is that /opt/ltsp/$arch/boot/*-initrd ends up in your tftp dir

ogra_: I don't think any of the modules are being loaded, loading essential modules happens so quick. Looking into http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1533507 now, as it seems to be a similar situation.

added the i915 driver, looks like the modules file is being read, because i saw an error claiming the i915.ko file was not found...
17:08
<wouter>
ah
17:08
Option "VBEModes" "true" gets me at least *some* output
17:08
<championofcyrodi>
and since i don't get an exception for the e1000e line, i have to assume that perhaps the script that is attempting to find the network interface is failing
17:08
<wouter>
not the best one, though

Looks like i should just send this NUC back and go with a different brand of diskless workstation. what a shame, raspberry pi worked, dell laptop worked, wyse thin client worked, disklessworkstation.com client worked... i really thought this would have been easier.

um. My LTSP box just spontaneously rebooted
17:20
is this expected?
17:21
('spontaneously', as in, it went through the reboot process, not that it lost power or some such)
17:21
<championofcyrodi>
hrmmm... this looks promising... looks like the udev upgrade and predictable network interface names is using something like eth0, while i need it to look for something like eno1

really
17:37
why oh why do modern TVs suck so much?
17:37* wouter grumbles
17:40
<wouter>
okay, so if I set the video mode to 640x480 and use VBE video mode calls, I get output
17:40
not acceptable output, mind you, but output
17:46
ah, hang on
17:46
it was my '--window-size' option to chromium which made things appear smaller
17:46
nvm, then :)
17:54
so, can I tell LTSP to have a random Section "Device" in xorg.conf?
17:55
more to the point, can I tell LTSP to have a Section "Device" which has 'Option "VBEModes" "true"'?
17:56* wouter tries copying it into the LTSP image, which will probably fail...
17:57
<wouter>
no, actually, that seems to work
17:57
