jammcq: hi! Can you execute this command for me, sbalneav and vagrantc, so that we get op on this channel? /msg ChanServ FLAGS #ltsp alkisg +*
16:29
E.g. it's been months that noone updated the /topic ...
16:35ChanServ sets mode: +o alkisg
16:35
<jammcq>
alkisg: did that do it?
16:37
<alkisg>
jammcq: yup, thanks, I did it for sbalneav too, so here's the result: /msg chanserv access #ltsp list
16:37
I'll add vagrantc and remove knipwim
16:37
I don't know what should be done about Mistik1
16:37
<jammcq>
you could remove jstraw too
16:38
Mistik1 is one of the original founders of the irc channel
16:38
<alkisg>
Lumiere said he's around some times and might help
16:38
(jstraw)
16:38
<jammcq>
he still pops in occasionally, i'd prolly keep him, as he created the channel
16:38
<alkisg>
You're the only one listed as founder
16:38
But sure, let's keep him
16:38
OK so only vagrantc+knipwim
16:39
<jammcq>
actually, the channel existed before I knew anything about IRC

16:39
<jammcq>
Mistik1 and Habbe created it, not sure which one actually did it
16:39
<alkisg>
You're the only one with "F" there
16:39
<jammcq>
haven't seen Habbe in several years
16:39
<alkisg>
I.e. Mistik1 wouldn't be able to run the command you just ran to give me access
16:40
<jammcq>
was I the only one ?
16:40
<alkisg>
Yes
16:40
<jammcq>
wow
16:40
the power... feels good
16:40
<alkisg>
Haha
16:40
<jammcq>
so now, do you have the power?
16:40
<alkisg>
I told sbalneav that you have more letters (flags) there
16:40
...he replied... "well he's a bigger guy" :D
16:40
<jammcq>
heh
16:41
<alkisg>
Me, sbalneav and vagrantc will be able to do stuff with the channel now, but we won't be listed as founders
16:41
Which is the correct thing to do

Hello, I'm trying to make ubuntu 14.04 an ltsp server so I can boot up images to a thin client. I have ubuntu 14.04 with microsoft office installed and now need to create the ltsp. I need directions on how to do this. Side note: I am trying to do this on a separate network than what the final project will be on. This network is made up IP's and has no internet. This is why I'm stucl

17:07
<||cw>
Ashlyn: having the thin client on their own network is common, with the ltsp server providing dhcp and dns. but hte ltsp server will need access to the repositories to install the system
17:08
the basic process is the same as with 12.04 though https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
17:17
<Ashlyn>
Okay, I'm trying that now. My only concern is. I am using the internet to install this and that it will mess with the current dhcp that is on our network and crash the network here
17:18
<||cw>
yeah you need to make sure the dhcp doesn't get started on the LAN interface, only the one that has the thin clients
17:19
<Ashlyn>
I don't know how to do that
17:20
<||cw>
I think there's a comment in the config file, if not, it's covered on the site I linked
17:20
<Ashlyn>
Everything is installing now...Should I unplug it from the internet so it doesn't do that and then start over when you tell me how to
17:20
Okay.
17:21
the dhcp.conf file?
17:22
<||cw>
yeah
17:23
<Ashlyn>
okay. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for
17:25
<||cw>
do you have 2 network cards?
17:25
<Ashlyn>
The install is complete and successful. I unplugged it from the network and now will plug it into my separate hub which I am using as a test
17:26
But first I need to configure the dhcp and network files to my own IP's etc. I THINK...
17:26
<||cw>
most of what you can think of is at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP
17:26
<Ashlyn>
OKat. thank you
17:27
Is there any way to turn off the dhcp incase I need to go back on the normal network here?

Hi, I boot up my ltsp to the thin client after running sudo apt get install ltsp-server-standalone and sudo ltsp-build-client. Everything works except when I go to boot up I get TFTP....

I have configured dhcp to run on the separate hub than the normal network we are using here just because we don't want to crash the network.

gbaman: is the pi getting internet so it can get the correct time form ntp? or have you added an RTC and batter? ssh will reject if the time is too far off
18:37
also, hostname of what
18:37
<gbaman>
it should be getting an internet connection yes, as the server had internet connection and it was on the same network
18:37
it complained it wasnt able to get a valid hostname
18:38
the string at the bottom right of the login screen was Linux ipconfig(the mac address) (IP address)
18:38
with (the mac address) and (IP address) filled in
18:38
instead of ltsp140 (IP address)
18:47
<||cw>
so your dhcp isn't handing out the hostname?
18:47
and.or the script that generates one is failing somehow
18:50
<gbaman>
I don't run the DHCP server
18:50
is run on a router at the venue

I think I've missed something about converting local installation to fat. It just doesn't work.

<Asterisks>
elaborate
19:15

It just doesn't start like fat client does. Doesn't start X at all.

<Gbaman1>
vagrantc any idea about the hostname issue? seems LTSP was getting confused
22:29
<vagrantc>
Gbaman1: i'd try setting SCREEN_02=shell, and run the "hostname" command...
22:29
Gbaman1: for starters...
22:30
<Gbaman1>
i think i did try that
22:31
displays the hostname?
22:31
the issue seemed to be that the hostname wasnt accepted as it had : in it
22:33
is it the router that will be assigning it?
22:36
vagrantc the hostname was Linux ipconfig(aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa)
22:37
which is a really weird one
22:37
<vagrantc>
from the hostname command?
22:37
<Gbaman1>
the aa was of course its real mac address
22:37
i am no longer at the venue so cant test till tomorrow morning
22:38
hostname followed by IP is displayed bottom right of LDM right?

<vagrantc>
hard to say what exactly would do that ... basically it's parsing the output of somethng incorrectly
22:39
<Gbaman1>
i am assuming it is the router there as i want getting any issues at home
22:39
*wasnt
22:40
but it is one of the most common routers in the UK, a recent BT home hub
22:40
could it cause the issue?
22:41
does LTSP not just take the last number of the IP and add LTSP in front??
22:43
<vagrantc>
more complicated than that
22:43
<Gbaman1>
ok?
22:44
<vagrantc>
my guess is there's something in the dhcp response that's ausing it to parse the wrong information...
22:44
<Gbaman1>
ok, the bit that surprised me was the "ipconfig"
22:44
aka, not ifconfig
22:44
<vagrantc>
HOSTNAME_EXTRA=$(echo "$IPV4ADDR.$IPV4NETMASK" | awk -F "." '{ print (($1%(256-$5)*256+$2%(256-$6))*256+$3%(256-$7))*256+$4%(256-$8) }')
22:45
ipconfig is the dhcp client used in the initramfs...
22:45
<Gbaman1>
ohh, ok
22:46
yeah read that earlier, didnt help much :)
22:46
<vagrantc>
"more complicated than that"
22:47
<Gbaman1>
ahh, ok
22:47
so might have found another LTSP bug? :)
22:47
<vagrantc>
it's not impossible
22:48
i'd look at suspicious stuff in /tmp/net-eth0.conf or /run/net-eth0.conf
22:48
also pass break=init
22:49
so that you get a debug shell in the initramfs
22:50
<Gbaman1>
so the hostname is aquired in the initrd stage?
22:50
ignore that, in DHCP request
22:50
<vagrantc>
or in the init-ltsp
22:50
<Gbaman1>
ok
22:52
so, plan of action for tomorrow. check the files in /tmp, find where the reqest is made, grab a copy early on of the raw request
22:52
*response
22:53
<vagrantc>
at one point it was handled in the initramfs init-bottom/ltsp*
22:53
now i think it's handled in init-ltsp.d/*hostname
22:54
forget where the version you're using falls in time...
22:54
<Gbaman1>
in /sbin?
22:55
<vagrantc>
no...
22:55
<Gbaman1>
ltsp is spread across so many places..
22:55
<vagrantc>
i.e. i don't remember where the files in in version 5.4.x vs. 5.5.x
22:55
<Gbaman1>
oh wait, is in /usr
22:56
<vagrantc>
could have just merged everything into one big unmaintainable file instead :P
22:56
<Gbaman1>
sbin has the script to load the scripts
22:56
<vagrantc>
ah, yes, /sbin/init-ltsp
22:56
<Gbaman1>
is 09hostname?
22:56
was looking in there earlier
22:56
<vagrantc>
sure
22:57
<Gbaman1>
wasnt much help :)
22:57
<vagrantc>
well, the IPV4* variables will come from the net-eth0conf files
22:57
<Gbaman1>
ah, ok
22:57
i wasnt sure where they came from
22:58
are they generated on boot?
22:59
am assuming so as they arent in the inage
22:59
*image
23:00
<vagrantc>
is what generated on boot?
23:00
<Gbaman1>
net-eth0.conf
23:01
<vagrantc>
it's generated by ipconfig (the dhcp client), or various other hooks that try to emulate ipconfig's output
23:01
<Gbaman1>
ok
23:01
so is how it passes it from the initrd to main system?
23:01
by saving it in that file?
23:02
<vagrantc>
i don't remember
23:02
<Gbaman1>
:)
23:03
if all this fails, am assuming using the HOSTNAME= variable in the lts.conf wont be much use?
23:05
<vagrantc>
hard-coding HOSTNAME in lts.conf will avoid the LTSP specific code..
23:05
<Gbaman1>
is only a single hostname though? right?
23:06
meaning all would have same hostname?
23:06
<vagrantc>
yes
23:06
<Gbaman1>
and so break anyway?
23:06
thought so
23:06
so no use :(
23:06
<vagrantc>
wouldn't break too many things
23:06
just autologin username/password settings
23:07
<Gbaman1>
could they log in and use the machine as normal
23:07
<vagrantc>
but i wouldn't reccomend using it as a general workaround
23:07
<Gbaman1>
well tes, have a 1 off workshop with 20 kids and 15 pis tomorrow night
23:07
*yes
23:08
in a nice networked classroom
23:08
they will only be using scratch, no internet work or anything
23:09
<vagrantc>
the client hostname really isn't used for much of anything
23:09Phantomas1 has joined IRC (Phantomas1!~phantomas@ubuntu/member/phantomas)
23:10
<vagrantc>
though it might do weird things with epoptes
23:10
can't remember
23:10
<Gbaman1>
ok, other thing. i was down today and kept getting a pile of kernel panics as the pi booted
23:10
not using epoptes
23:11
which apparently i cant paste in..
23:11
<vagrantc>
but it "worked" ?
23:11
or it crashed?
23:11
<Gbaman1>
no
23:11
crashed
23:11
random every timr
23:11
*time
23:11Phantomas has left IRC (Phantomas!~phantomas@ubuntu/member/phantomas, Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
23:11* vagrantc gets grumpy and recommends real hardware
23:12
<Gbaman1>
http://tinyurl.com/ltsp-panic
23:13
again, never had the issue before
23:13
only differences were the network setup and that the server was running on a virtual box VM
23:13
<vagrantc>
Gbaman1: which kernel you using?
23:14
<Gbaman1>
i have since installed it ok its own machine and will be using that tomorrow
23:14
same one i have been using for ages, 3.10.something
23:15
3.10-3-rpi
23:15
is most recent available for pi from raspbian repo
23:15
checked recently
23:16
<vagrantc>
kernel panics more appropriate for rpi developer
23:17
<Gbaman1>
my guess is it was just caused by running server via virtual box (with bridged mode for networking)
23:17
and will hopefully go away wjth my since installed dedicated machine
23:18
i am thinking is issue with data not getting to the client
23:18
or an issue with the swap?
23:18
<vagrantc>
using NBD?
23:18
<Gbaman1>
yes
23:19
actually no, was using NFS for all my tests...
23:19
and nbd swap
23:20
<vagrantc>
NFS wouldn't panic that easily
23:20
you'd get retry attempts
23:21
<Gbaman1>
nbd swap perhaps?
23:21
<vagrantc>
maybe
23:21
but then i'd expect an OOM error (out of memory)
23:22
<Gbaman1>
if it continues will disable swap and see if it improves it
23:22
<vagrantc>
that might just cause OOM errors :P
23:22
<Gbaman1>
if it had been reading from swap and it got unexpected results?
23:24
is warnings attached to bridged mode for virtual box
23:24
so am assuming that has been cause of both issues
23:24
or a posdible cause for second
23:24
*possible
23:25
as it was at a random stage every time
23:26
anyways, thanks for the help. will try those out tomorrow
23:26
thanks
