| 09:06 | <fiesh> I'm using LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT to have opengl on thin clients, and it works fairly well, many opengl applications work find (including q3, so even heavier stuff is fine). however, the qt-creator always complains "QOpenGLShaderProgram: could not create shader program"... does anyone have a clue on how to fix that?

| 11:48 | <gdi2k> hi, having a quick panic, none of our machines are booting, they stop at this: http://i.imgur.com/ZBLBQZI.png any ideas what would cause this?
| |
| 11:50 | <elias_a> gdi2k: Is LTSP server the same server as DHCP?
| |
| 11:50 | <gdi2k> no it's not
| |
| 11:50 | we have a pfsense firewall that provides DHCP
| |
| 11:52 | I made a small change to lts.conf earlier in the day to adjust a specific client (auto login on a break room PC)
| |
| 11:52 | <elias_a> gdi2k: I would say the LTSP server is down.
| |
| 11:52 | gdi2k: Does LTSP server answer to ping?
| |
| 11:52 | <gdi2k> the server itself is up, but maybe some essential service
| |
| 11:52 | I can ssh into it no problem
| |
| 11:52 | maybe a reboot?
| |
| 11:52 | <elias_a> Strange.
| |
| 11:52 | Yeah reboot it.
| |
| 11:58 | <gdi2k> elias_a, yeh that did it, thanks for your help!
| |
| 11:58 | not sure what the issue was, I must have caused a disturbance in the force
| |
| 11:59 | <elias_a> gdi2k: Sometimes you have to use the windows panic method ;-)
| |
| 12:00 | <gdi2k> elias_a, yes, it runs so stable for months on end, I never even think about rebooting!
| |
| 12:01 | <elias_a> gdi2k: Usually there's no need to :)

| 12:50 | <ltsp_fan> greetings all, i'm struggling with two issues: getting nbd to work and fixing a green screen problem on the client.
| |
| 12:50 | I followed vagrantc's advise, but I think I'm still doing something wrong: ltsp_fan: you'll need to edit update-kernels.conf in the chroot, ltsp-chroot dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-x.y.x, ltsp-update-image /opt/ltsp/XXX, ltsp-config nbd-server, service nbd-server restart
| |
| 12:51 | vagrantc asked me for the graphics card for the green screen problem and here are the details: VIA technologies CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M80CE/VN/800 (S3 Unichrome Pro)
| |
| 12:52 | I have 7 of these machines
| |
| 12:52 | one machine has the following: Intel 82845G/GL Brookdale G/GE, there's no green screen but the text on the menu is garbled
| |
| 12:53 | any help is much appreciated
| |
| 12:58 | <bennabiy> ltsp_fan: I think there were some updates to the driver support for some of the chipsets which causes some strange graphical behavior on systems which worked before
| |
| 12:59 | I am trying to work through some of these issues as well, but I am pretty sure it is not LTSP causing the issue
| |
| 13:01 | <ltsp_fan> I have booted up ubuntu 12.04 and debian with kernel 3.14 and both work fine, but then again they are old kernels?

| 17:32 | <pxeboot> Hey there LTSP! I have a question on tftppath= mentioned in this 2010 post - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/526528
| |
| 17:33 | Is there a way to add the tftp prefix to load lts.conf files on the current version of LTSP?
| |
| 17:34 | Tried tftpboot=, tftproot=, arch=, chroot= and name= to no avail.
| |
| 17:37 | pxelinix.cfg/default has append ro initrd=ltsp/amd64/initrd.img init=/sbin/init-ltsp root=/dev/nbd0 nbdroot=/opt/ltsp/amd64 tftpboot=/ltsp/amd64
| |
| 17:54 | <vagrantc> pxeboot: you have to use the dhcp option identifiers
| |
| 17:54 | there's basically a table of numbers that associate with the names
| |
| 17:54 | well, maybe
| |
| 17:55 | AlexPortable has joined IRC (AlexPortable!uid7568@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-udfanbchtqqxutli) | |
| 17:55 | <pxeboot> yes. we are trying to make LTSP "portable" with multiple images
| |
| 17:56 | <vagrantc> you mean i386 vs. amd64?
| |
| 17:56 | what do you mean by portable?
| |
| 17:56 | <pxeboot> With a custom PXE menu, we load the lts.conf from i386. Having it load from the tftp directory just makes it better
| |
| 17:57 | We can bypass the dhcp config for testing multiple images quickly by adjusting a PXE menu, rather than an external dhcp., just point to one menu and no further adjustments are needed
| |
| 18:04 | btw, the nbdroot= allows us to use a custom pxe menu with only a single change to an external dhcp server and boot multiple images with no problem
| |
| 18:19 | oh.. and by portable.. we can chainload additional ltsp servers from the pxe menu, allowing us to test other OS's without touching the DHCP configs again
| |
| 18:26 | alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!~alkisg@ubuntu/member/alkisg) | |
| 18:27 | <vagrantc> pxeboot: well, there's currently no way to specify lts.conf from the bootprompt
| |
| 18:28 | pxeboot: you could actually set up a hook in ltsp_config.d that sets the values you want, instead of relying on lts.conf to set values.
| |
| 18:28 | there are some values that might not work for...
| |
| 18:29 | gbaman has left IRC (gbaman!~gbaman@host81-139-207-136.in-addr.btopenworld.com, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 18:32 | <pxeboot> Cool! OK! Thanks. We can embed gpxe/ipxe boot scripts and add them to the custom pxe menu or drop the lts.conf file in the chroot as well... though adding nbdroot= and tftppath= would keep it PNP w/o too many changes.
| |
| 18:33 | <vagrantc> if it's a relatively small number of values, you can use bootprompt ltsp.FOOBAR=
| |
| 18:36 | <alkisg> (01:20:46 μμ) vagrantc: pxeboot: well, there's currently no way to specify lts.conf from the bootprompt =>
| |
| 18:36 | ==> I think I told that idea to knipwim and he implemented it
| |
| 18:36 | ltsp.var=value in the command line
| |
| 18:37 | init-ltsp.d/03-kernel-cmdline, in the end
| |
| 18:37 | Hi btw :)
| |
| 18:37 | <pxeboot> ola!
| |
| 18:38 | <vagrantc> alkisg: yeah, i know
| |
| 18:39 | <alkisg> Sorry then, I misunderstood :)
| |
| 18:39 | <vagrantc> but it's not specifying a full lts.conf
| |
| 18:39 | <alkisg> The question is "how to specify the path to a custom lts.conf?"
| |
| 18:39 | <vagrantc> that actually would be a really useful boot parameter .... ltsp.ltsconf=tftp:1.2.3.4:/path/to/lts.conf or something
| |
| 18:40 | <alkisg> I think it's possible... let me check...
| |
| 18:40 | <vagrantc> using the same techniques as the ltsp.FOOBAR stuff
| |
| 18:40 | it shouldn't be hard to implement
| |
| 18:40 | <alkisg> tftp "$SERVER" -c get ${pathonly:-/ltsp/$(detect_arch)/}${LTSCONF:-"lts.conf"} $lts_conf_temp >/dev/null
| |
| 18:40 | It's settable with LTSCONF, isn't it?
| |
| 18:40 | So, ltsp.ltsconf=xxx
| |
| 18:41 | In the cmdline
| |
| 18:41 | <vagrantc> oh, perhaps i was mistaken
| |
| 18:43 | it only specifies the filename, not the whole path
| |
| 18:43 | but that would be easy to extend
| |
| 18:43 | i guess you could use ltsp.ltsconf=../../../../path/you/really/want/lts.conf
| |
| 18:44 | <alkisg> Yup, or symlinks server-side
| |
| 18:44 | Not too well organized, but it works
| |
| 18:44 | With multiple images one would probably use a global pxelinux.d path anyway
| |
| 18:44 | No arch subdir
| |
| 18:44 | (multiple images of the same arch)
| |
| 18:45 | <vagrantc> i think pxeboot wanted a menu with different lts.conf based on menu selections
| |
| 18:45 | <alkisg> So different ltsp.ltsconf=xxx parameters in the cmdline, easy
| |
| 18:45 | <vagrantc> right
| |
| 18:46 | so no custom scripts...
| |
| 18:46 | * alkisg wonders if we could pass lts.conf as an second initrd file | |
| 18:47 | <alkisg> (for the future, with ltspd etc)
| |
| 18:47 | So that it's available even before networking is up
| |
| 18:47 | http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#INITRD_initrd_file
| |
| 18:47 | It supports multiple filenames separated by commas
| |
| 18:49 | <vagrantc> interesting
| |
| 18:50 | <pxeboot> wow! very awesome stuff! Yeah. If a teach wanted to setup a course or a "textbook" with LTSP, they could label an image CHapter 1, CHapter 2 and so on, allowing them to stuff course appropriate material in an image, as well as other uses
| |
| 18:51 | the custom pxe boot menu keeps the net admin skill out of that after initial setup
| |
| 19:03 | OK. So non go on using ltsp.ltsconf=<full-path> or <tftp path>. Tried ltsp.name, ltsp.arch, ltsp.chroot as well.
| |
| 19:10 | <alkisg> Is your ltsp recent enough, do you have that code?
| |
| 19:10 | pxeboot: 05-getltsconffile
| |
| 19:10 | tftp "$SERVER" -c get ${pathonly:-/ltsp/$(detect_arch)/}${LTSCONF:-"lts.conf"} $lts_conf_temp >/dev/null
| |
| 19:10 | and 03-kernel-cmdline
| |
| 19:10 | line 70, # export LTSP variables
| |
| 19:11 | Also, not <tftp path>, but lts.conf name inside the arch subdir
| |
| 19:11 | <pxeboot> Running stock ltsp-server 5.5.1-1ubuntu2
| |
| 19:11 | <alkisg> For example, for /ltsp/i386/my-lts.conf, you'd specify, ltsp.ltsconf=my-lts.conf
| |
| 19:12 | <pxeboot> Oh! OK. Tried lts.conf inside tftp path
