<vagrantc>
hrm. so i accepted the patches to fix size displaying in ltspfs, but now they produce all sorts of build warnings...
03:51
anyone with a slight understanding of C able to take a look at it?
03:53
essentially the patch: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltspfs-trunk/revision/170
03:53
introduced warnings like this:
03:53
ltspfs.c:891:9: warning: unused variable 'f_namelen' [-Wunused-variable] int f_namelen = (int)stbuf->f_namelen;
03:54
and:
03:54
ltspfsd_functions.c:906:18: warning: 'f_type' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] stbuf.f_type = (__SWORD_TYPE) f_type;
05:57

<vagrantc>
!ipxe
06:10
<ltsp>
ipxe: iPXE is the successor to the etherboot/gPXE project, and can be used to netboot clients that don't have a NIC ROM with a PXE stack. To add it to grub, see !grub-ipxe. To add it to the Windows boot loader, see !win32-loader. To download floppy, CD or USB images, visit http://ipxe.org or install the ipxe package.
06:19
<SpComb>
vagrantc: that code is weird, almost as if someone had put the code into the wrong function of that pair
06:22
<vagrantc>
SpComb: well, in the history there was some switch from "foo" to "stbuf.foo" and some things seem to only have gotten partially switched.
06:22
my attempts to cargo cult it only resulted in more issues
06:24
<SpComb>
the ltspfsd function to output the stbuf, updates the value within the stbuf
06:24
which is on the function stack and should be completely ignored
06:26
and the ltspfs function to read in an stbuf, gets the existing value within the stbuf, before overwriting it and discarding the read value
06:26
makes no sense

hi all
08:26
i have a big problem
08:26
the pxe is no longer working
08:27
i get an PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout
08:27
the log says that nbdrootd can not be found
08:27
and indeed there is no /usr/sbin/nbdrootd anymore
08:28
any idea what is going on?
09:09alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg)
09:13
<alkisg>
bernste4: nbd is not related to pxe. nbd comes a lot of steps after pxe succeeds
09:14
So look elsewhere for the problem, maybe dhcpd
09:14
or tftpd
09:15
E.g. dhcpd may be pointing the clients to the wrong tftp server..
09:16
<bernste4>
it was the tftpd configuration
09:18
somehow the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa had an error

17:28
<alkisg>
vagrantc: what are the deadlines wrt ltspfs? can you wait for the weekend for bennabiy, or do you need some help before that?
17:29
<vagrantc>
alkisg: that's a good question
17:29* vagrantc looks at the freeze timeline
17:29* alkisg has a couple of hours now...
17:30
<alkisg>
(but, no libc nor gtk knowledge :))
17:32
<vagrantc>
alkisg: it's not *urgent*, although i have no idea what ltspfsd fails to start from udev...
17:32
alkisg: i have viable workarounds for the "mount --move" issue, i think
17:33
including a mount-directly to /media implementation
17:34
it'd be good to have it fully sorted out by october, though not resolving those RC bugs could get it removed from jessie temporarily... which would be unfortunate
17:34* vagrantc wonders if a newly created ltsp chroot defaults to systemd yet
17:34
<alkisg>
vagrantc: there are 2 issues currently, one with the warnings after the patch, and one with systemd/move, right?
17:35
<vagrantc>
alkisg: three issues
17:35
<alkisg>
And the latest code is in the trunk? Or in your local tree?
17:35
<vagrantc>
alkisg: systemd breaks ltspfsd starting on client, systemd breaks "mount --move" on server-side, size issue patches issue lots of warnings
17:36
<alkisg>
Gotcha
17:36
And if you run the service with systemd later on, does it start then?
17:36
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i've got a workaround for "mount --move" in trunk, no idea about ltspfsd on client, and the size issue patch is a bit much C for me.
17:37
alkisg: ltspfsd starts from udev on an as-needed basis, but systemd doesn't seem to like that.
17:37
might make sense to just start ltspfsd as a normal daemon or something...
17:38* vagrantc suspects systemd has soe feature enabled that prevents the udev rules from being abe to spawn daemons or bind to ports or something
17:39
<vagrantc>
alkisg: i've got the mount-directly-to-media in my local chroot, also submitted a patch to the debian bug
17:39
<alkisg>
Push it upstream :)
17:39
About udev, I think my last idea would make sense, i.e. to spawn a screen session instead of a daemon
17:39
And then attach to that session and try to launch ltspfsd manually
17:39
<vagrantc>
working out a couple last changes
17:40
alkisg: as a troubleshooting idea?
17:40
<alkisg>
Yes
17:41
<vagrantc>
well, i'd like to wrap up the mount-directly-to-media patchset
17:41
alkisg: would you be able to look at the build warnings?
17:41
the patch actually works (at least on i386/amd64), but it introduces some unsettling warnings...

17:43
alkisg: and the launchpad bug referenced by it
17:43* alkisg tries...

thanks!

17:48
<vagrantc>
considering that lbmount is setuid root code...
17:50
pushing to ltspfs-trunk...
17:51
hrm, my commit message isn't quite right ... lbmount really just creates/removes /media/username now.
17:53
<alkisg>
vagrantc: after pulling latest trunk, `debuild -tc` now complains: Makefile.am: error: required file './ChangeLog' not found
17:53
<vagrantc>
hrm.
17:53
oh, the packaging needs to run autogen.sh
17:54
haven't switched it to use dh_autoreconf yet.
17:54
wait, i have...
17:55* alkisg ran ./autogen.sh and then debuild -tc, it compiles now...
17:55* vagrantc doesn't know "debuild -tc"
17:56
<alkisg>
-tc Clean the source tree (using gain-root-command debian/rules clean) after the package has been built.
17:56
<vagrantc>
right, just found it
17:58
<alkisg>
vagrantc: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltspfs-trunk/revision/153
17:58
sbalneav did those changes for 64-bit compatibility
17:59
Now that they're reverted, do you think it'll break again?
17:59
Are you testing with 32 bit or with 64 bit?
17:59
<vagrantc>
both
18:00
i've tested with a 64 bit server, a 64 bit client, and a 32 bit client
18:00
guess i haven't tested 32 bit server
18:00
<alkisg>
I don't think bugs have been reported about that use case, ok
18:00
But only a few lines are reverted in the recent patch, not all of them...
18:00
Anyways, /me reads on..
18:00
<vagrantc>
right
18:00
i get the impression the 64 bit fixes caused the size issues
18:09
alkisg: the changelog thing failed because dh_autoreconf wasn't actually calling ./autogen.sh, it was calling various commands directly.
18:10
<alkisg>
It worked fine before I pulled the last version from trunk... dunno why
18:10
<vagrantc>
because there was an empty ChangeLog file
18:11
which i removed, as it's really annoying to have a placeholder file
18:16
i.e. i put content in there that has to be moved out of the way during development
18:22* vagrantc wonders if the ltspfs/mounter.d hooks should be run in different spots
18:26
<vagrantc>
but where i think they *should* go causes the mounts to fail. hrm.
18:27
<alkisg>
vagrantc: about the warnings, you can just delete the 3 lines that declare the variables:
18:27
int f_type = (int)stbuf->f_type;
18:27
int f_bsize = (int)stbuf->f_bsize;
18:27
int f_namelen = (int)stbuf->f_namelen;
18:27
BUT, only if it compiles and works fine in 32/64 bit
18:27
<vagrantc>
heh
18:27
ok.
18:28
<alkisg>
sbalneav put them there because supposedly (int) is different from statfs/__SWORD_TYPE on 64bit
18:28
I hope that doesn't depend on any library versions... i.e. that it would work now but cause problems if backported...
18:29
But sbalneav had indeed made an error, in that he initialized the variables instead of assigning them values at the end
18:29
So it's either "delete the 3 lines, if everything works", or "back to what sbalneav wrote, but with a couple of changes"
18:31* vagrantc deletes a few lines and builds
18:31
<vagrantc>
that's in ltspfs.c only, right?
18:32
<alkisg>
Right
18:32
<vagrantc>
there was also something in ltspfsd_functions.c
18:32
or maybe one caused the other
18:35
alkisg: that generates a lot of incompatible pointer type errors
18:36
ltspfs.c: In function 'ltspfs_statfs':
18:36
ltspfs.c:907:5: warning: passing argument 2 of 'xdr_int' from incompatible pointer type xdr_int(&in, &stbuf->f_type); /* type of fs */

We need to find the bug report about the 64bit errors though, to verify it's not still an issue

<slackish>
its in there...
19:37
<sagi_>
what's is mean?
19:37

like you can apt-get install ltsp-server and such
19:37
<sagi_>
what about an iso file?
19:37
like was in 12.02
19:37
<slackish>
no idea
19:38
<sagi_>
i was just need to press f4
19:38
and the installtion was chage
19:38
<slackish>
oh, the alternative installer
19:38
<sagi_>
to lstp server
19:38
yes!!!!!

yeah, i haven't checked. they don't usually remove things like that
19:38
certainly woudn't be hard to find out
19:39
<sagi_>
i dont find thing like this when i search all over the internt
19:39
<slackish>
why not just download the iso and check?
19:39
<sagi_>
the regular one?
19:40
<slackish>
the alternative installer
19:41
<sagi_>
there has no alternative installer to 14.04
19:43
there has no alternative installer to 14.04
19:43
there has no alternative installer to 14.04!
19:44
<slackish>
then i am clearly mistaken on it being there

slackish: it's true. http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/14.04/release/
19:57
however, the server installer is pretty close to being the same thing as the alternate
19:57
personally, I use apt-cacher-ng and the mini-iso
