| 12:55 | <der_baer> mm I want to install a new kernel (3.15) into my client image (ubuntu 12.04), It does not install in a clean way (update-grup fails as expectet since I did not mount any /dev into the chroot), after rebuilding the image the clients boots into to the initrd a i get a busybox. I did not change anything else and the kernel of the initrd is the new 3.15. Any idears where i could start digging for the bug or where i missed something?

| |
| 13:32 | <Hyperbyte> WNxCyrius, what desktop?
| |
| 13:34 | <WNxCyrius> basically I want the thinclients to receive only the browser, is this possible?
| |
| 13:34 | I tried and failed at the kiosk mode haha
| |
| 13:35 | fails during client built but gives no reason
| |
| 13:35 | <Faith> der_baer, did uou restart the nbd service?
| |
| 13:36 | <WNxCyrius> I am extra nooby, sorry

| 13:39 | <Hyperbyte> WNxCyrius, you could always create your own session in /usr/share/xesssions/
| |
| 13:40 | And make some script that launches fluxbox as a window manager and then launches the browser

| |
| 13:50 | <Hyperbyte> How are you? :-)
| |
| 13:50 | <alkisg> Trying to slow down my rythms to "vacations mode" :)
| |
| 13:50 | U?
| |
| 13:50 | <Hyperbyte> Nice! Me, working my ass off, earning all the moneys. :)
| |
| 13:51 | <alkisg> Meh women will eat all your money, no point in gathering a lot of it :D
| |
| 13:52 | <Hyperbyte> Well, I guess I'll just have to make sure I spend it all before I meet Miss Right. ;-)

| |
| 14:23 | :/
| |
| 14:23 | I made the mistake of giving one my Amazon Instant Video password
| |
| 14:23 | Woe unto me
| |
| 14:24 | Hyperbyte, you seem knowledgeable! Tips for increasing performance? It seems to be superbad
| |
| 14:24 | right now I am only testing with one client
| |
| 14:25 | but in the end if it fulfills the requirements I may end up throwing like 120 of these clients out
| |
| 14:28 | <der_baer> Faith: yep several times now, I trying to start ltsp manuel to get some error messages but so far nothing real helbfull (the devices /dev/nbd0 get succesfull mountet within the the initrd )

| 15:11 | <der_baer> "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init-ltsp" but there is /root/rofs/sbin/init-ltsp
| |
| 15:12 | the nbd mount is working, I dd /dev/nbd0 and i can read /sbin/init-ltsp
| |
| 15:12 | arg
| |
| 15:15 | <alkisg> der_baer: cat /proc/cmdline
| |
| 15:20 | <WNxCyrius> when setting up auto login do you have to configure all of the names?
| |
| 15:21 | <der_baer> alkisg: http://pastebin.com/5ZJSgvZu
| |
| 15:21 | <alkisg> der_baer: and that shows up on the client /proc/cmdline?
| |
| 15:22 | <der_baer> alkisg: jep with an added BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinux in the end
| |
| 15:22 | <alkisg> OK
| |
| 15:22 | Did the kernel install successfully?
| |
| 15:23 | (you were installing 3.5 in the chroot, right?)
| |
| 15:24 | <der_baer> alkisg: we testing 3.15, it worked with a laptop and ubuntu 12.04 so the next step was to test it with our image, the installtion was sucessfull
| |
| 15:25 | <alkisg> der_baer: wait, so it works ok with one client but not with another?
| |
| 15:25 | <der_baer> alkisg: no it never worked with ltsp the laptop installtion is a standalone Ubtun12.04 installtion
| |
| 15:26 | <alkisg> der_baer: let's get a step back
| |
| 15:26 | E.g. why aren't you using the stock kernel?
| |
| 15:26 | If you want support for newer hardware, why aren't you using the -trusty (3.13) kernel?
| |
| 15:27 | And, don't try to run ltsp-update-image if apt has failed, fix apt first
| |
| 15:27 | E.g. for grub, either uninstall grub from the chroot, or mount --bind /sys
| |
| 15:28 | So, I'd suggest that you install the linux-image-generic-lts-trusty kernel, and then purge all other ones
| |
| 15:29 | <der_baer> alkisg: jep 3.13 is the next try but since 3.15 was working with the laptop i wantet to give it a try. the reason is new hardware witch at least needed the 3.6 kernel
| |
| 15:30 | otherwise i would have upgrade the courrent 3.2 kernel
| |
| 15:30 | to 3.5
| |
| 15:30 | <alkisg> OK, apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-trusty then
| |
| 15:30 | 3.5 is lts-quantal, which has reached end of life
| |
| 15:32 | <WNxCyrius> is this lts.conf file supposed to be in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/<arch>? I am not finding it there
| |
| 15:33 | <alkisg> You need to create one, it doesn't exist by default
| |
| 15:33 | It's necessary if you want to make the kiosk mode work
| |
| 15:34 | <der_baer> alkisg: ok i give try this
| |
| 15:35 | alkisg: thanks so fare
| |
| 15:35 | <WNxCyrius> ahhhh ok
| |
| 15:35 | do I have to make the entire thing with all the variables, or only the ones I want?
| |
| 15:36 | <alkisg> [Default] on top, and only the ones you want
| |
| 15:38 | <WNxCyrius> and a question about the accounts: Do I have to create each one I need? Can I just enable anonymous login somehow?

| |
| 16:07 | alkisg: how long does that last?
| |
| 16:08 | <alkisg> bennabiy: 1.5 months... no, not yet, I'm still in panic mode
| |
| 16:09 | <bennabiy> alkisg: Panic mode! what happened?
| |
| 16:09 | <alkisg> Just too much work, nothing out of the ordinary
| |
| 16:09 | * bennabiy nods | |
| 16:10 | <bennabiy> I guess there is just as much to do when the children are not there, as when there.
| |
| 16:10 | I am finally getting back to a stable place with my mint 17 install (discovered that 14.04 did not play nice with my hardware raid controller)
| |
| 16:11 | So I should be able to hack out some code soon.
| |
| 16:11 | <WNxCyrius> you are on vaca for a month and a half?
| |
| 16:12 | <alkisg> Yup, being a teacher has a few benefits...
| |
| 16:12 | <WNxCyrius> ahhhhh gotcha
| |
| 16:12 | <alkisg> ...and a lot of shortcomings :D
| |
| 16:12 | <WNxCyrius> such as dealing with students?
| |
| 16:12 | <bennabiy> How many schools did you cover?
| |
| 16:13 | <WNxCyrius> I was thinking about doing night teaching at the college
| |
| 16:13 | <alkisg> 270
| |
| 16:13 | <WNxCyrius> are you doing like remote learning?
| |
| 16:13 | <bennabiy> How many would you actively go to in a week?
| |
| 16:14 | <alkisg> We mainly work from our offices, via helpdesk/remote support etc, so let's say 3...
| |
| 16:15 | <WNxCyrius> is there a list of variables I can use on lts.conf somewhere?
| |
| 16:16 | I imagine the slowness/latent response is somewhat related to the amount of video its pushing so I wanna check that out
| |
| 16:17 | <der_baer> alkisg: ok just to give you an update, 3.13 is working like a charme, and i learned again that that new is not equal to stable
| |
| 16:18 | <alkisg> Cool
| |
| 16:18 | !lts.conf | echo WNxCyrius:
| |
| 16:18 | <ltsp`> WNxCyrius: lts.conf: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf
| |
| 16:18 | <bennabiy> der_baer: that is the truth
| |
| 16:18 | <alkisg> What's your networking speed?
| |
| 16:19 | <bennabiy> alkisg: I cannot get epoptes set back up... I am getting an error that I cannot fetch certificate from server:789
| |
| 16:20 | <alkisg> ls -lh /etc/epoptes
| |
| 16:21 | <bennabiy> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 14 12:17 server.crt
| |
| 16:21 | -rw------- 1 root root 916 Jul 14 12:17 server.key
| |
| 16:21 | hmm
| |
| 16:21 | should .crt be 0?
| |
| 16:23 | <alkisg> No, you tried to fetch the certificate from/to the same machine, and overwrote it
| |
| 16:24 | Either purge/reinstall epoptes, or see the web site for how to recreate the certificate
| |
| 16:24 | google for: openssl site:epoptes.org

| |
| 16:24 | How do you use epoptes with an ltsp-pnp image?
| |
| 16:24 | <linson> hello
| |
| 16:25 | i am linson from india
| |

| 16:25 | <bennabiy> Welcome
| |
| 16:25 | <linson> i have some quires about ltsp
| |
| 16:25 | thank you
| |
| 16:26 | <alkisg> bennabiy: you just install epoptes and add the users to epoptes group
| |
| 16:26 | You don't need to do anything wrt certificates

| |
| 16:26 | <linson> i am new to linux....since i googled how to use my old slow pc
| |
| 16:27 | ok
| |
| 16:27 | where is real lts.conf
| |
| 16:27 | i see that in more than 3 locations
| |
| 16:27 | <bennabiy> alkisg: well and good, but how does that cause the fat clients to show up and know where the server is and such? do I need to manually edit the conf?
| |
| 16:28 | <alkisg> bennabiy: the server is at "server", the well known name of the ltsp server
| |
| 16:28 | You don't need an lts.conf at all, no
| |
| 16:28 | linson: depending on your distribution, it usually is in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
| |
| 16:29 | <linson> ok..i use edubuntu...there is one in above loctaion
| |
| 16:29 | so is that the real one
| |
| 16:29 | ?
| |
| 16:30 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 16:30 | <linson> thank you
| |
| 16:31 | if i am running a thin client from ltsp sever...and power fails in thinclient is there any config to resume that specife TC enviornment?
| |
| 16:32 | <WNxCyrius> I am pretty new to the linux
| |
| 16:32 | <linson> server have ups , but not thin client
| |
| 16:37 | <der_baer> linson: if you using nfs (under debian) for your chroot maybe (/var/cache/ltsp/, with nbd (ubuntu) not realy
| |
| 16:38 | <linson> i use edubuntu14.4

| 16:55 | <bennabiy> work_alkisg: quick question for you... I am trying to run the command: ltsp-update-image -c / and I am getting mount: mount point /tmp/tmp.M1nTy0uPCT/rofs/home/Public does not exist
| |
| 16:55 | Could not mount /tmp/tmp.M1nTy0uPCT/rofs/home/Public.
| |
| 16:55 | as the response
| |
| 16:56 | I had started the command earlier, but CTRL-C before it actually started generating anything, because I remembered that I did not have the client files installed yet. Now all I get is an error.
| |
| 16:58 | <linson> sudo cmd to know mac address of connected client
| |
| 16:58 | ?

| 17:17 | <gbaman> anyone got any suggestions for setting up shared folders with LTSP?
| |
| 17:22 | <Ark74> i did mount a shred folder on fstab
| |
| 17:23 | it does the trick, but i might not be the best way to do it. Since there may be a lot of issues
| |
| 17:46 | <bennabiy> gbman what type of shared folder?
| |
| 17:46 | gbaman: ^
| |
| 17:47 | <gbaman> bennabiy: a read only one for students
| |
| 17:47 | <bennabiy> Local to LTSP server, or network?
| |
| 17:47 | <gbaman> might have cracked it though
| |
| 17:47 | using samba and automounting it on boot
| |
| 17:47 | adrianorg has left IRC (adrianorg!~adrianorg@179.179.72.114, Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | |
| 17:47 | <gbaman> looks the simplest way and also allows compatibility with windows users which is a bonux

| |
| 18:14 | I think I may have to introduce the thinclients to a windows server through a remote session though
| |
| 18:14 | imox has joined IRC (imox!~imox@p4FC5D8BF.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) | |
| 18:16 | <WNxCyrius> Basically I am trying to avoid the replacement of a hundred desktops haha
| |
| 18:16 | and pxeboot would make that even better
| |
| 18:22 | <Hyperbyte> Why do you have to use a Windows server?
| |
| 18:25 | <WNxCyrius> existing infrastructure blahblah
| |
| 18:26 | we use a cloud-based ERP system accessed through a browser that requires a windows OS to fucking print because they have plugins that are custom made for it
| |
| 18:26 | I am really upset about it haha.
| |
| 18:28 | <alkisg> bennabiy: unmount any mounts left over at /tmp before re-running ltsp-update-image
| |
| 18:30 | gbaman: check LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS
| |
| 18:30 | WNxCyrius: LTSP does have support for windows RDP sessions
| |
| 18:30 | Fenuks has left IRC (Fenuks!~Fenuks@212.164.171.216, Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | |
| 18:38 | <WNxCyrius> yeah, its rdesktop, correct?
| |
| 18:39 | I saw that in there. Worried about the speed to connect to ltsp server then remote to windows server
| |
| 18:47 | <bennabiy> alkisg: thank you
| |
| 18:48 | nothing mounted on tmp though
| |
| 18:48 | alkisg ^
| |
| 18:49 | It is like the /tmp mounting never took place, but there is a file somewhere saying that it did.
| |
| 18:51 | <alkisg> WNxCyrius: it directy connects to the remote windows server. It's xfreerdp, not rdesktop.
| |
| 18:52 | bennabiy: if all else fails, try to reboot the server. If it persists, it has issues with submounts under /home.
| |
| 18:52 | <bennabiy> alkisg: reboot in order. back shortly
| |
| 18:52 | bennabiy has left IRC (bennabiy!~bennabiy@unaffiliated/bennabiy, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 18:54 | <WNxCyrius> do you mean that it will skip the linux part altogether?
| |
| 18:54 | Know of a guide?
| |
| 18:54 | How does it handle local devices?
| |
| 18:55 | <alkisg> WNxCyrius: it will boot linux, and it will connect to the windows server
| |
| 18:55 | At that time, there's no traffic to the linux server at all
| |
| 18:56 | Local devices are handled by linux, and forwarded appropriately with xfreerdp
| |
| 19:02 | <WNxCyrius> solid
| |
| 19:02 | Will give that a shot
| |
| 19:02 | essentially, I need a windows only plugin to install to print from this system
| |
| 19:03 | setting up the printer itself was better than windows and used CUPS
| |
| 19:07 | bennabiy has joined IRC (bennabiy!~bennabiy@unaffiliated/bennabiy) | |
| 19:07 | <gbaman> alkisg: does LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS just mount an extra folder from the server to all clients read only? Documentation isn't massively clear..
| |
| 19:07 | <bennabiy> alkisg: persisted after reboot
| |
| 19:08 | Is there a way to exclude a folder from /home ?
| |
| 19:08 | I have a folder /home/Public which is a general shared directory for certain users.
| |
| 19:09 | but it is its own partition
| |
| 19:09 | would that be what is causing it?
| |
| 19:09 | unmounted /home/Public and it runs fine
| |
| 19:11 | alkisg: which PRNG is used for ltsp-pnp?
| |
| 19:17 | <alkisg> gbaman: it mounts a folder via sshfs, with whatever unix permissions it already has on the server
| |
| 19:17 | If you want it read only, just set the appropriate mode on the file system
| |
| 19:17 | <gbaman> hmm
| |
| 19:17 | <alkisg> (10:09:27 μμ) bennabiy: would that be what is causing it? => it could be
| |
| 19:17 | File some bug report about it
| |
| 19:17 | (10:11:11 μμ) bennabiy: alkisg: which PRNG is used for ltsp-pnp? => what's a PRNG?
| |
| 19:18 | <bennabiy> Pseudo Random Number Generator
| |
| 19:18 | <alkisg> Whatever linux uses
| |
| 19:18 | LTSP is a just collection of scripts and methods for netbooted clients, ltsp-pnp is just about using the server's root file system as a template
| |
| 19:19 | It's not like they have their own linux implementation, no need to refer to "ltsp-pnp" for general linux questions...
| |
| 19:20 | <bennabiy> I am using it as compared to generating a ltsp chroot through ltsp-build-client
| |
| 19:20 | as I noticed that you tend to do
| |
| 19:21 | <alkisg> Sure, they both use the underlying distribution
| |
| 19:21 | <bennabiy> yes
| |
| 19:21 | <alkisg> So for generic linux questions, it's more appropriate to ask e.g. "what PRNG is linux using", not "what PRNG does ltsp-pnp use"...
| |
| 19:23 | <gbaman> alkisg: here is one for you that seems to be new.. Using Ubuntu 14.04 with pis, keyboard and mouse aren't working?
| |
| 19:24 | <WNxCyrius> what is the easiest way to trim back what the client gets?
| |
| 19:24 | <gbaman> yet works fine for an older server, also running 14.04...
| |
| 19:24 | <alkisg> gbaman: I've never seen a pi, so I can't answer pi-related questions
| |
| 19:24 | <gbaman> is there anything that might ring alarm bells given it is keyboard and mouse?
| |
| 19:25 | <alkisg> I don't know what keyboard and mouse pis have, but I've seen keyb+mouse problems when the kernel + initrd used are not actually installed on the file system
| |
| 19:25 | <bennabiy> alkisg: I understand your point... but I also call an ltsp specific command, and then just see output. As to what is being run from the system, and what is an ltsp specific thing happening, it is not entirely clear. That is why I specify the method.
| |
| 19:25 | <gbaman> hmm, will check alkisg, would make sense
| |
| 19:25 | <alkisg> E.g. you boot 3.13 from tftp or sd card, but only have 3.11 installed in the nbd/local disk
| |
| 19:26 | bennabiy: ok, I'm trying to help you which parts are not ltsp specific, so that you direct them to appropriate channels
| |
| 19:26 | *help you see
| |
| 19:27 | <bennabiy> alkisg: I understand.
| |
| 19:28 | what would I file a bug against regarding the ltsp-update-image failing if a filesystem is mounted within /home?
| |
| 19:28 | <gbaman> alkisg: looks like you are right, that is looking like it is the issue, thanks :)
