| 09:46 | <sebd> Hello, I am trying to switch my Debian LTSP installation from NFS to NBD. I support both thin and fat clients, i386 and amd64. Therefore ltsp-update-image --config-nbd created 4 images ; I specified kernel boot option root=/dev/nbd0 ; but how do I tell the client to mount the "fat-amd64" image, instead of "amd64" ? What is the NBD equivalent of the "nfsroot" option ?
| |
| 09:48 | let's try nbdroot=fat-amd64
| |
| 09:49 | <alkisg> sebd: first advice, use only one image for thin, fat, i386 and amd64
| |
| 09:49 | A fat i386.img image can serve all of those
| |
| 09:49 | i386 pae kernels can handle up to 64 GB RAM, so it's not a problem if you use them in amd64 clients
| |
| 09:50 | And of course fat images can serve thin clients as well
| |
| 09:50 | <sebd> alkisg: ok
| |
| 09:50 | <alkisg> So, only keep the fat i386 image and move the other 3 aside
| |
| 09:50 | mkdir /opt/ltsp.bak
| |
| 09:50 | mv /opt/ltsp/<otherdirs> /opt/ltsp.bak/
| |
| 09:51 | etc, move them outside of the /opt/ltsp/ directory
| |
| 09:51 | markit has joined IRC (markit!~marco@host179-38-static.243-95-b.business.telecomitalia.it) | |
| 09:54 | <sebd> I will prefer to keep using amd64 and i386. Two fat images that I'll maintain in parallel.
| |
| 09:55 | <alkisg> sebd: ok, then use nbdroot= to clarify the path
| |
| 09:55 | Or use DHCP rootpath to clarify it
| |
| 09:55 | How do you make the clients select between i386 or amd64? from dhcp.conf or from pxelinux configuration?
| |
| 09:56 | <sebd> Should I put the full path of /opt/ltsp/images/*.img as the NBD name ? The file name alone does not work. Let's try the full path.
| |
| 09:57 | <alkisg> The nbd name is the one that is in the header of /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/*.conf
| |
| 09:57 | Usually it's something like /opt/ltsp/i386
| |
| 09:57 | <sebd> ah ok
| |
| 09:57 | <alkisg> (11:55:59 πμ) alkisg: How do you make the clients select between i386 or amd64? from dhcp.conf or from pxelinux configuration?
| |
| 10:00 | <sebd> alkisg: I wrote an ipxe script that detects the arch
| |
| 10:02 | <alkisg> sebd: if you're using ipxe then you have access to the rootpath, so you can do either
| |
| 10:02 | Either set the rootpath variable, or change the kernel command line
| |
| 10:02 | Setting rootpath sounds a bit better
| |
| 10:02 | <sebd> thank you, nbdroot=/opt/ltsp/fat-amd64 worked, it will do for now - later I'll get rid of 2 out of 4 chroots so to use the fat chroots for the thin clients as well
| |
| 10:02 | <alkisg> (it results in the same code whether you're using nfs or nbd)
| |
| 10:03 | Out of curiosity, why will you keep using amd64 _and_ i386?
| |
| 10:03 | Math-intensive software?
| |
| 10:05 | <sebd> alkisg: I like to use the full power of the available arch. And yes, my users use such apps as QGis.
| |
| 10:06 | <alkisg> Some benchmarks state that in many cases i386 apps are faster on amd64 hardware
| |
| 10:06 | Due to less memory transfers, more memory available etc
| |
| 10:06 | <sebd> when you use i386 kernel on amd64 it is an emulation, no ?
| |
| 10:06 | <alkisg> No
| |
| 10:07 | <sebd> alkisg: I didn't know about these benchmark, and I agree that using twice as big pointers does not help with memory use, but i that really significant ?
| |
| 10:07 | <alkisg> If an i386 chroot is faster on your amd64 hardware for the apps you run, there's no point in having more administrative overhead
| |
| 10:08 | If the amd64 chroot is noticeably faster, then sure by all means you should do it
| |
| 10:08 | In 1000 installations here we don't do it
| |
| 10:09 | <sebd> I should be on this chan more often
| |
| 10:09 | <highvoltage> more available ram = more space for local nfs cache = better performance
| |
| 10:11 | <sebd> highvoltage: I am not satisfied with NFS on fat clients, I feel I did not set it up correctly, users complain that it takes up to 30 seconds to start iceweasel or LibreOffice.
| |
| 10:12 | <alkisg> highvoltage also means NBD cache as well
| |
| 10:12 | NBD is about 5 times faster than NFS due to less overhead and compression
| |
| 10:13 | And in newest debian/ubuntu releases, nfs is broken due to the kernel overlayfs implementation, so the point is moot :)
| |
| 10:13 | <sebd> alkisg: ah, that's interesting
| |
| 10:13 | <highvoltage> alkisg, sebd: yes, I meant whatever-filesystem-you're-using-cache :)
| |
| 10:14 | <sebd> that would explain performances were better in debian 7
| |
| 10:15 | I noticed NFS mounts where NFSv3, not v4.
| |
| 10:15 | <alkisg> initramfs-tools don't support v4
| |
| 10:16 | dracut does, but debian doesn't really support dracut
| |
| 10:16 | <sebd> Ok, I'm happy with NBD now. It is clearly faster.
| |
| 10:20 | <highvoltage> sebd: yeah you need to have authentication infrastructure in place for nfsv4
| |
| 10:20 | I still need to try btrfs with nbd but just haven't gotten so far yet
| |
| 10:20 | <sebd> highvoltage: I do have a single LDAP and my chroots use it
| |
| 10:21 | <highvoltage> sebd: cool. I believe you'll have to add kerberos to that mix too then you should be able to use nfsv4
| |
| 10:22 | <sebd> highvoltage: ok, but now NBD seems better. And I am happy with fuse.sshfs for homes and shared folders.
| |
| 10:23 | <highvoltage> sebd: yeah nbd performance will be better than nfs4 as well
| |
| 10:24 | <sebd> I did have issues with sshfs disconnections under debian 7, but not yet in debian 8.
| |
| 10:25 | <alkisg> highvoltage: btrfs nbd is about 2 times slower than squashfs'ed nbd, in my quick tests
| |
| 10:25 | Which is still pretty good
| |
| 10:26 | <highvoltage> alkisg: ah that was what I was wondering about. I'd expect it to be slower, just had no idea by how much.
| |
| 10:26 | Anderson69s has joined IRC (Anderson69s!~Anderson6@bas69-h01-176-144-249-160.dsl.sta.abo.bbox.fr) | |
| 10:26 | <highvoltage> alkisg: do you have compression enabled in btrfs?
| |
| 10:26 | <alkisg> Yup, of course
| |
| 10:27 | !precise-i386
| |
| 10:27 | <ltsp> precise-i386: Ubuntu 12.04 compressed btrfs chroot to boot really old clients (non-pae, >=64MB RAM): http://ts.sch.gr/repo/livecd/images. You can find the image, a screenshot and a README there.
| |
| 10:27 | <highvoltage> cool
| |
| 10:27 | <alkisg> I have 2 btrfs images there if you want to test
| |
| 10:27 | A precise and a stretch one
| |
| 10:27 | <markit> but why use btrfs?
| |
| 10:27 | <alkisg> It's editable
| |
| 10:27 | squashfs isn't
| |
| 10:27 | <markit> ah, I see, cool
| |
| 10:27 | <alkisg> (and, unlike ext4, it's compressed)
| |
| 10:28 | So for example you can mount it and chroot to it and never have to run ltsp-update-image again
| |
| 10:28 | <highvoltage> I see reiser4 is properly making it into Debian as well
| |
| 10:28 | <alkisg> That one supports compression as well?
| |
| 10:28 | <highvoltage> and it supports transparent compression too and should be a lot faster than btrfs
| |
| 10:28 | <alkisg> Cool
| |
| 10:29 | squashfs has a lot of optimizations in its compression scheme
| |
| 10:29 | I don't think any writeable filesystems will match it
| |
| 10:29 | It would be nice to have support for squashfs base and some other .diff on top of that, similar to how virtualbox handles snapshots
| |
| 10:30 | So that it's editable, mergeable, discardable etc,
| |
| 10:30 | while the client would only see a single image...
| |
| 10:32 | <highvoltage> alkisg: yeah I think being read-only is the biggest reason why it's so fast. nothing ever moves around and once you have fs metadata in ram you don't have to go fetch it again because you can rely on it staying the same

| |
| 11:22 | <sebd> ok. Can't find the reference doc about kernel parameters, only http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Configuration#Kernel_Parameters
| |
| 11:24 | <alkisg> kernel parameters are in the kernel: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

| 16:34 | <gavfranc> Hi, I am deploying a ltsp server in a school and all clients need to access a windows share. I would be delighted if someone new how to mount at login. I am pulling my hair out at the moment.
| |
| 16:38 | alkisg_away is now known as alkisg | |
| 16:38 | <alkisg> gavfranc: this isn't ltsp-related, you can ask in your distribution channel
| |
| 16:41 | <gavfranc> How is setting up an ltsp server and clients not be ltsp related
| |
| 16:42 | <alkisg> gavfranc: it's not specific to the ltsp code base
| |
| 16:42 | We don't have any knowledge about it
| |
| 16:42 | E.g. an ltsp server has a monitor. We don't know how to repair monitors here...
| |
| 16:42 | <gavfranc> I think it is as it is in lts.conf
| |
| 16:42 | <alkisg> If you ask in #ubuntu, you may find people using samba there
| |
| 16:43 | <gavfranc> that is not the problem
| |
| 16:43 | <alkisg> No, lts.conf can't help you there, it will have to be server-side
| |
| 16:43 | LDM is using ssh, not pam
| |
| 16:43 | sshd on the server is part of the pam stack though, so you can configure your server to do automounts
| |
| 16:43 | It's the same as in non-ltsp servers though
| |
| 16:43 | E.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
| |
| 16:43 | <gavfranc> In lts.conf you can create custom /etc/fstab
| |
| 16:43 | <alkisg> That's per boot, not per login
| |
| 16:44 | You said "mount at login"
| |
| 16:44 | <gavfranc> yes boot and login. Login is a natural progression from booting.
| |
| 16:44 | <alkisg> ltsp can configure boot parameter, e.g. /etc/fstab
| |
| 16:45 | login parameters like getting the password from pam and passing it to a samba server are done in the pam stack
| |
| 16:45 | ltsp client don't use the pam stack, you would need to do that on the server
| |
| 16:45 | Hence, not ltsp specific
| |
| 16:45 | Let's put it in another way
| |
| 16:45 | <gavfranc> Yes I am aware thanks but does it only work with nfs or samba too.
| |
| 16:45 | <alkisg> I'll ask you: how would you do it in a machine without ltsp?
| |
| 16:46 | When you have that answer, I'll then tell you if it's different in ltsp
| |
| 16:46 | <gavfranc> mount the share on /etc/fstab
| |
| 16:46 | <alkisg> You can't put per-user passwords in /etc/fstab
| |
| 16:46 | Or that share is not password protected?
| |
| 16:46 | Are the users going to connect as guests there?
| |
| 16:47 | <gavfranc> no just users on the server
| |
| 16:47 | <alkisg> I'm user X1 with password Y1
| |
| 16:47 | There's another user X2 with password Y2
| |
| 16:47 | Are we both going to connect to the same share with the same password?
| |
| 16:47 | E.g. share S with password P?
| |
| 16:48 | Or will we use our own usernames and passwords there?
| |
| 16:48 | <gavfranc> all users sit down at a client machine, login and then need to see a windows share in the file view
| |
| 16:48 | <alkisg> The same share for everyone?
| |
| 16:49 | <gavfranc> yes, they are students
| |
| 16:49 | <alkisg> Can guest users see the share?
| |
| 16:49 | <gavfranc> there is no guests.
| |
| 16:49 | <alkisg> There are anonymous (guest) shares and user (password protected) shares in windows
| |
| 16:50 | I'm trying to understand if you have an anonymous share or if it needs a username and password to access it
| |
| 16:50 | OK so anyway
| |
| 16:50 | Do you know the line to put in fstab?
| |
| 16:50 | <gavfranc> yes I have used the following
| |
| 16:50 | <alkisg> (I now assume you don't need per-login share connections, but per-boot connections)
| |
| 16:50 | <gavfranc> yes that will be fine.
| |
| 16:51 | <alkisg> So, the LTSP part there is that you put that line in FSTAB_0 in lts.conf
| |
| 16:51 | Instead of putting it to some file
| |
| 16:52 | <gavfranc> FSTAB_1="server:/storage /storage cifs username=xxxx,password=xxxxx defaults 0 0"
| |
| 16:52 | <alkisg> Yup, sounds fine
| |
| 16:52 | The page I linked says: "//gurnee/projects /home/jcrow/GurneeServer cifs rw,_netdev,user=DOMAIN/user,password=password,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0"
| |
| 16:53 | ...but I'm guessing the fstab syntax isn't the issue, that part is not specific to ltsp, you can easily troubleshoot that
| |
| 16:53 | <gavfranc> I have used this but it does not mount the folder
| |
| 16:53 | <alkisg> Does it mount the folder if you use it in a pc without ltsp?
| |
| 16:53 | <gavfranc> no the syntax is fine. if you get syntax wrong and error message comes up during boot
| |
| 16:54 | yes I can mount it from the client but only by using the connect to server option in nautilus
| |
| 16:54 | <alkisg> No, not from an ltsp client
| |
| 16:54 | I'm asking if it works if you put it in another pc that is not an ltsp client
| |
| 16:54 | I.e. if you put it to /etc/fstab there
| |
| 16:54 | <gavfranc> yes I can mount it from anywhere on netework
| |
| 16:54 | network
| |
| 16:54 | <alkisg> From /etc/fstab, not from the command line, right?
| |
| 16:55 | <gavfranc> yes, I have a debian server that mounts it fine
| |
| 16:55 | <alkisg> When you boot an ltsp client, does the /etc/fstab appear correctly there?
| |
| 16:55 | Is it the same as in the debian server?
| |
| 16:56 | (because if you have special characters, ltsp might have issues)
| |
| 16:56 | <gavfranc> the /etc/fstab in the chroot is blank.
| |
| 16:56 | <alkisg> ...like " or ` or $ in the password or other special characters
| |
| 16:56 | Not in the chroot, but in the booted client
| |
| 16:56 | !screen_02
| |
| 16:56 | <ltsp> screen_02: To get a root shell on an Ubuntu thin client: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using_a_shell_SCREEN
| |
| 16:56 | <alkisg> By the way, are you using ltsp thin clients or ltsp fat clients?
| |
| 16:56 | <gavfranc> good idea, I have not browsed to /etc/fstab in the client
| |
| 16:57 | I am using thin clients with local_apps
| |
| 16:57 | <alkisg> There's a possibility to do that mount server-side, and use LOCALAPPS_EXTRA_MOUNTS to get it to the client via sshfs
| |
| 16:58 | <gavfranc> They are running ubuntu ltsp with gnome environment.
| |
| 16:58 | so just add that command to lts.conf?7
| |
| 16:58 | <alkisg> For example, if you have it mounted on the server at /media/samba-share,
| |
| 16:59 | <gavfranc> ok
| |
| 16:59 | <alkisg> then you'd use LOCALAPPS_EXTRA_MOUNTS=/media/samba-share, yes, in lts.conf
| |
| 16:59 | (and not use fstab_1 at all)
| |
| 16:59 | <gavfranc> ok thanks, I will try that. I have mounted it on the server so if it works happy days.
| |
| 17:00 | I will post any success back to community.
| |
| 17:00 | <alkisg> gavfranc: it's LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS
| |
| 17:01 | I posted it wrong before
| |
| 17:01 | What community? The ltsp-discuss mailing list?
| |
| 17:01 | <gavfranc> ok thanks. Anywhere where it will be useful to others. I am sure I am not the only person to want to mount a windows share.
| |
| 17:02 | especially in an educational environment
| |
| 17:02 | <alkisg> Well, if you put it on the server /etc/fstab, it's not ltsp-specific :)
| |
| 17:03 | Good luck, if you don't make it that way come again

| 22:01 | <stumped> Is there currently anything going on with tftpd-hpa? I've built about six ltsp servers in the debian/ubuntu world and on this latest one I just cannot get tftpd-hpa to deliver the client's environment. Logs say nothing. thanks so much.
| |
| 22:02 | alkisg_away is now known as alkisg | |
| 22:02 | <alkisg> stumped: it happens with debian too? I thought the issue was upstart-specific...
| |
| 22:02 | Edit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa and put --verbose there beside --secure
| |
| 22:02 | This will give you some logs
| |
| 22:02 | <stumped> alksig - This is with Jessie. A new install.
| |

| |
| 22:05 | <stumped> service tftpd-hpa status says fail mode but I was having the same issue when it was running. I just re-installed ltsp-server-standalone.
| |
| 22:05 | let me boot the client
| |
| 22:05 | <alkisg> Start the service first, then boot the client
| |
| 22:06 | <stumped> Looks like "Forbidden access..." but it disappears quickly.

| |
| 22:07 | <stumped> that's why I just purged it and re-installed
| |
| 22:08 | We used to use xinetd and I installed that but can't see anything for it in either /etc/default or etc/init.d

| 22:08 | <stumped> I've struggled with tftpd-hpa in the past and we usually just gave up and installed atftpd. Thst worked but not this time either.
| |
| 22:09 | got to be perms kind of thing.
| |
| 22:09 | <alkisg> stumped: I don't have much time currently, do you want to share your screen with me so that we troubleshoot this faster?
| |
| 22:09 | !vnc-dide
| |
| 22:09 | <ltsp> vnc-dide: To share your screen with me, run this: sudo apt-get --yes install x11vnc; x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr - this is a reverse connection, it doesn't need port forwarding etc.
| |
| 22:09 | <maldridge> on the lastest ubuntu I have the inetd config in /etc/inetd.conf (I misspoke earlier, my site is in fact running inetd)
| |
| 22:10 | <stumped> Thanks for the clarity maldridge
| |
| 22:11 | <maldridge> np
| |
| 22:11 | <stumped> let me try --verbose, the obi-wan prob won't like the sharing business. :)
| |
| 22:12 | thanks much for the inputs
| |
| 22:13 | <alkisg> np
| |
| 22:14 | dnsmasq appears to be more stable, we really should make it the default :D
| |
| 22:14 | <maldridge> I thought it was the default, or do you mean a stronger default than being a dependency
| |
| 22:15 | <alkisg> When someone runs apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone, it installs isc-dhcp-server and tftpd-hpa instead of dnsmasq
| |
| 22:16 | The change would be to install and configure dnsmasq instead
| |
| 22:16 | And of course both cases will always be supported if someone specifies what he wants in the `apt-get install` command line
| |
| 22:17 | E.g. now he can run `apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone dnsmasq` to avoid pulling tftpd-hpa and isc-dhcp-server
| |
| 22:17 | <maldridge> makes sense. I'm hesitant to install a configured dnsmasq, that could make site specific stuff harder to manage
| |
| 22:18 | <alkisg> It would happen on `ltsp-config dnsmasq`, not on postinst
| |
| 22:18 | <maldridge> ah, that makes much more sense
| |
| 22:20 | <stumped> FYI: I saw on the client PXE3(5?) tftp timeout error. Then it bail to Non-system disk or disk error... tftp giving up
