08:05 | <alkisg> OK, run vnc so that I see what you do:

| |
08:52 | busy now
| |
08:52 | <hima> ok
| |
08:55 | <alkisg> hima: put the password there and press enter
| |
08:57 | <hima> greate
| |
08:57 | you did it
| |
08:58 | <alkisg> hima: does the client boot now?
| |
08:58 | hima: add a user to test
| |
08:59 | adduser hima
| |
08:59 | hima, don't connect with the same user
| |
08:59 | <hima> it booded before that last few commands you entered
| |
08:59 | <alkisg> Don't user ubuntumate both on the server and one the client
| |
08:59 | Press enter on `adduser hima` and login as hima
| |
09:01 | Also, clients should have 1 GB RAM, 512 is too little to use browsers etc
| |
09:01 | Try it though, have fun with ltsp
| |
09:01 | <hima> is epotes installed by default , or i installed it
| |
09:01 | <alkisg> You installed it
| |
09:01 | By following the ltsp-pnp wiki
| |
09:01 | <hima> let me know
| |
09:02 | what was missed with configurations
| |
09:03 | <alkisg> Read the wiki page :)
| |
09:03 | Sorry I only have enough time to write one wiki page, I can't write it many times for many people...
| |
09:03 | <hima> wiki or help
| |
09:03 | <alkisg> !ltsp-pnp
| |
09:03 | <ltsp> ltsp-pnp: ltsp-pnp is an alternative (upstream) method to maintain LTSP installations for thin and fat clients that doesn't involve chroots: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
| |
09:04 | <alkisg> The steps from there make a working ltsp server; you didn't do some of those correctly
| |
09:04 | <hima> you are write
| |
09:04 | i did messed with configuration
| |
09:04 | do you know why?
| |
09:04 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
09:05 | <hima> cause after issuing a command dns stoped working
| |
09:05 | and was not able to apt-get install any more
| |
09:05 | <alkisg> See the "dns issues" section on the wiki page
| |
09:05 | <hima> ok
| |
09:05 | <alkisg> Anyway, all is ok now
| |
09:05 | <hima> thanks alo
| |
09:05 | <alkisg> Have fun with ltsp :)
| |
09:05 | <hima> thanks alot
| |
09:06 | <alkisg> You're welcome
| |
09:06 | <hima> on virtual machine
| |
09:06 | i will check how size of ram affect speed
| |
09:06 | <alkisg> Test it on real clients, not on an i5 VM
| |
09:06 | You'll want to upgrade pentium 4's with 256/512 MB RAM to 1 GB RAM
| |
09:07 | Also, use the ltsp servers as "teacher PCs"
| |
09:07 | And put one ltsp server on each classroom
| |
09:07 | The ltsp server can be cheap dual core machines, they don't need to be i5
| |
09:07 | <hima> i never used peptos before
| |
09:07 | <alkisg> I don't know what peptos is
| |
09:08 | <hima> epoptes
| |
09:08 | <alkisg> OK
| |
09:08 | We developed it for greek schools
| |
09:08 | But it was very good and then we internationalized it so now it's used in many countries
| |
09:08 | <hima> is it like italc
| |
09:09 | compared with supportschool on windows
| |
09:09 | <alkisg> Yes, we were using italc before that, but it was crashing too much and it was unmaintained, that's why we developed epoptes
| |
09:09 | <hima> yes i used italc before and was unreliable hand many times
| |
09:10 | can i get full control over student using epoptes
| |
09:10 | <alkisg> Yes, read the documentation
| |
09:10 | !epoptes
| |
09:10 | <ltsp> epoptes: Epoptes is a computer lab administration and monitoring tool. It works on Ubuntu and Debian based labs with LTSP or non-LTSP servers, thin and fat clients, standalone workstations, NX clients etc. More info: http://www.epoptes.org
| |
09:11 | <hima> any way i will give a try
| |
09:11 | it seems intereesting
| |
09:11 | syrius has joined IRC (syrius!syrius@thunder.stormtek.net) | |
09:12 | <hima> is epoptes server and client part?
| |
09:12 | <alkisg> Yes, read the docs
| |
09:13 | <hima> does it support arabic interface
| |
09:13 | or there is a lang file to be tranlsated?
| |
09:23 | <markit> hima: http://www.epoptes.org/translations
| |
09:23 | <hima> good many arabic translations
| |
09:23 | almost80%
| |
09:25 | when will you include the partially arabic translated file in epoptes
| |
09:25 | <ZAJDAN> hi people....
| |
09:26 | alkisg: ltsp provide linux only ?
| |
09:31 | <hima> is there a way to export ltsp configuration to another server
| |
09:34 | vagrantc has left IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@unaffiliated/vagrantc, Ping timeout: 268 seconds) | |
09:36 | <alkisg> ZAJDAN: LTSP boots linux only. After linux boots, you can run virtual machines or remote desktops to other OSes
| |
09:38 | hima, it's already shipped in /usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/epoptes.mo
| |
09:39 | hima: you just have LANG=en instead of ar
| |
09:40 | I launched it correctly for you
| |
09:40 | <hima> yes i see
| |
09:41 | is ltsp only allowed one of 64-bit -r 32 bit processors
| |
09:41 | <alkisg> No
| |
09:41 | <hima> i think i386 by any way is suitable for thin clients
| |
09:41 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
09:42 | <hima> amd64 suites , when ram is greater than 2
| |
09:42 | <alkisg> No, use i386 for all
| |
09:42 | It's easier to maintain
| |
09:42 | <hima> yes
| |
09:43 | what about fat client
| |
09:43 | <alkisg> All i386
| |
09:43 | <hima> is it good to use fat clients also
| |
09:44 | fat clients need local hard ?
| |
09:49 | <alkisg> hima, the VM client you used was fat
| |
09:49 | Clients with > 500 MB RAM get to be fat, while < 500 RAM get to be thin
| |
09:49 | If you see blue monitor icon in epoptes, it's fat
| |
09:49 | So no, fat clients don't need local hard disks
| |
09:50 | <hima> it showed fat
| |
09:50 | <alkisg> Yes because it had 512 MB RAM
| |
09:50 | Thin clients have green monitor icons
| |
09:51 | <hima> now i will test a thin one with 256 MB
| |
09:52 | now fat is blue , thin is green
| |
09:54 | ok
| |
09:54 | is there a special common programs that can be use with ltsp?
| |
09:54 | <alkisg> hima: where are you from?
| |
09:54 | <hima> egypt
| |
09:54 | <alkisg> Nice
| |
09:55 | <hima> really , this installation is running light

10:00 | <hima> so
| |
10:00 | every user will keep his files in /home folder
| |
10:01 | markus_e92 has joined IRC (markus_e92!~markus_e9@62-46-99-29.adsl.highway.telekom.at) | |
10:03 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
10:05 | <hima> regarding performance
| |
10:06 | if about 30 clients start at the same time
| |
10:06 | how long does it take to be fully uprunning
| |
10:06 | did you measure before
| |
10:06 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
10:07 | For me it took 12 seconds
| |
10:07 | For you, it depends on your setup
| |
10:07 | <hima> for all 30 clients?
| |
10:07 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
10:08 | <hima> it will be good to show on screen
| |
10:08 | that time it takes to startup
| |
10:08 | beside the date and ip and fat number
| |
10:09 | <alkisg> Nah
| |
10:09 | It could be in an epoptes monitor screen though
| |
10:09 | "check lab health"
| |
10:09 | To show boot time, available ram, bandwidth, all the debug diagnostics
| |
10:10 | <hima> :)
| |
10:10 | you did not leave any notes
| |
10:10 | <alkisg> Notes for what?
| |
10:11 | <hima> i mean requirements
| |
10:12 | <alkisg> I don't understand. Do you mean client specifications, how much RAM etc clients should have?
| |
10:12 | <hima> no i mean
| |
10:13 | what ever the ram size
| |
10:13 | each machine will take different time to boot
| |
10:13 | where i can find lab health?
| |
10:13 | <alkisg> It is not implemented yet
| |
10:14 | I was just telling you that I didn't like the idea to put the boot time in ldm, right next to the time
| |
10:14 | And it would be better to display it in another dialog, that doesn't exist yet
| |
10:14 | <hima> ahaa
| |
10:17 | if client has hard disk
| |
10:17 | will fat or thin client
| |
10:17 | <alkisg> It only depends on ram, not on disk
| |
10:17 | <hima> mount the localhard after being up running
| |
10:18 | <alkisg> If > 500 RAM => fat, else => thin
| |
10:18 | <hima> i mean if have a pc with os installed on hard
| |
10:18 | i want to share it to lab for a while
| |
10:19 | do fat client touch local hard by any mean?
| |
10:19 | i will try my self
| |
10:20 | <alkisg> Fat clients don't touch the local hard drive
| |
10:20 | (unless you give them sudo access)
| |
10:21 | <hima> i wish there is a fat client that did notread the hard disk controller
| |
10:23 | it is great
| |
10:23 | so users cannot access local drive
| |
10:23 | <alkisg> yes
| |
10:24 | <hima> epoptes is only allwing screen broadcast
| |
10:25 | cani teach have full control over clients using epoptes?
| |
10:25 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
10:26 | <hima> it did not show from right click
| |
10:27 | i have to go for a while
| |
10:27 | pray time
| |
10:27 | <alkisg> It is called "assist user"
| |
10:27 | OK

10:42 | Statler has joined IRC (Statler!~Georg@mail.lohn24.de) | |
10:46 | <ZAJDAN> in lts.conf options SCREEN_07="xfreerdp" ..there I should put xfreerdp command same as I use from command line?
| |
10:46 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
10:47 | <ZAJDAN> because client boot but ending with black screen and mouse cursor only
| |
10:47 | <alkisg> Are you using quotes like " or ' ?
| |
10:48 | <ZAJDAN> yes I use it
| |
10:48 | <alkisg> Maybe you don't use escape characters like \
| |
10:48 | What is the SCREEN_07 line?
| |
10:48 | <ZAJDAN> that will be the problem because in the command are a few \
| |
10:51 | sorry there are /
| |
10:51 | so escape will be \/d:domain \/u:user ...and so on?
| |
10:53 | <alkisg> (12:48:27 μμ) alkisg: What is the SCREEN_07 line?
| |
10:53 | Change the username/password, but paste it here
| |
10:55 | <ZAJDAN> SCREEN_07="xfreerdp /d:mydomain /u:user /p:password /v:192.168.1.1"
| |
10:57 | <alkisg> I don't see any quotes or backslashes there
| |
10:57 | No \ or " or '
| |
10:57 | Open a root terminal from epoptes, run getltscfg -a, and see if the command is correct
| |
10:59 | <ZAJDAN> bt the client have to be correctly booted yes?
| |
11:00 | to try getltscfg -a
| |
11:02 | getltsfcfg -a: SCREEN_07="xfreerdp \/d:mydomain \/u:user /p:password \/v:192.168.1.1"
| |
11:03 | same as I though....there was automatically added \
| |
11:05 | so what now?
| |
11:05 | <alkisg> Don't put \
| |
11:05 | It's wrong
| |
11:05 | <ZAJDAN> no in the config I have: SCREEN_07="xfreerdp /d:mydomain /u:user /p:password /v:192.168.1.1"
| |
11:06 | <alkisg> And getltscfg has \ ?
| |
11:06 | <ZAJDAN> yes
| |
11:06 | <alkisg> That doesn't make sense...
| |
11:06 | Maybe you didn't reboot the client from the last try
| |
11:06 | <ZAJDAN> true!
| |
11:06 | gonna boot newly
| |
11:07 | before boot what I sould put into config? SCREEN_07="xfreerdp /d:mydomain /u:user /p:password /v:192.168.1.1"
| |
11:07 | or SCREEN_07=xfreerdp d:mydomain u:user p:password v:192.168.1.1
| |
11:08 | <alkisg> The first one
| |
11:09 | <ZAJDAN> ok
| |
11:11 | thin client newly booted --> black screen + mouse cursor
| |
11:12 | <alkisg> Put SCREEN_07=xterm
| |
11:12 | Reboot client
| |
11:13 | When it boots, run the xfreerdp command manually from that xterm
| |
11:13 | <ZAJDAN> ok
| |
11:14 | <vlt> ZAJDAN: And you should check that xfreerdp in your client really uses the /d:... notation and not -u -p ...
| |
11:15 | <ZAJDAN> I use what is in man xfreerdp
| |
11:15 | I do not know that tere is posible pass the switch in another way
| |
11:17 | same command works from the xterm after boot
| |
11:18 | but I was in xterm asked about certificate! probably it could be the problem ...yes?
| |
11:18 | <alkisg> If you had to type something, then yes
| |
11:18 | <ZAJDAN> so I added the certificate
| |
11:19 | should I try to reboot with SCREEN_07="xfreerdp switch ...." as before? now when the cert is added
| |
11:19 | <alkisg> Where did you add it?
| |
11:19 | To the client that will lose it after reboot?
| |
11:20 | <ZAJDAN> right now I was disconected from RDP and in xterm is warning, that the cert could not be verified...and so on
| |
11:21 | probably the problem what you say
| |
11:21 | the destination where should be stored cert
| |
11:21 | ?
| |
11:21 | <alkisg> I don't know where xfreerdp stores its certificates, ask in #xfreerdp
| |
11:22 | <ZAJDAN> soulution coul be --ignore-cert
| |
11:26 | <markit> in 14.04 I've "RDP_OPTIONS="--ignore-certificate -u myuser -p mypassword -d mydomain -f""
| |
11:27 | if you have 16.04 you should have the new xfreerdp syntax
| |
11:28 | <ZAJDAN> FreeRDP version 1.1.0-beta1 (git n/a)
| |
11:29 | this version is compiled because of Remmina valentine edition
| |
11:29 | on debian 9
| |
11:29 | <markit> "Remmina valentine edition" ?
| |
11:31 | <ZAJDAN> yes
| |
11:32 | https://www.remmina.org/wp/remmina-valentine-edition/
| |
11:33 | <alkisg> Oooh we should make an ltsp valentine edition too :P
| |
11:33 | <ZAJDAN> better will be summer-holiday edition :_)
| |
11:34 | <markit> ZAJDAN: is it bugged or affected by some unexpected issue so you are avoiding it?
| |
11:34 | * markit scratches his head | |
11:34 | <ZAJDAN> markit: what do you mean...why I installed remmina valentine edition?
| |
11:35 | <markit> FreeRDP version 1.1.0-beta1 (git n/a) is not valentine edition that is 1.2, or am I wrong?
| |
11:35 | <ZAJDAN> you are right!
| |
11:35 | valentine edition I have on other machine
| |
11:36 | <markit> ok
| |
11:53 | <ZAJDAN> now I installed the valentine edition on debian 8 via snap, but the freerdp still old version
| |
12:35 | Debian 9 is probably not good choice..better wait

12:48 | <ZAJDAN> alkisg: when I reboot thin client from epoptes...the client doesnt reboot sucessfully ..is it ok?
| |
12:49 | SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 1554....
| |
12:57 | adrianorg has joined IRC (adrianorg!~adrianorg@177.132.217.26) | |
12:57 | <ZAJDAN> and still I have problem on thin client run xfreerdp from lts.conf
| |
12:58 | on ltsp server: man xfreerdp show syntax with /u /d ..etc...so such syntax's I use in lts.conf
| |
13:01 | done...I use xfreerdp -u -p ...syntax in lts.conf and works
| |
13:02 | strange.....man xfreerdp shows another syntax but also accept second one style
| |
13:03 | so now we know that in lts.conf have to be used syntax via: -u user not /u:user
| |
13:05 | the reason why use remmina and not xfreerdp from lts.conf I see now....when client start xfreerdp from lts.con ..from server I cannot take control of this machine
| |
13:06 | when I boot client completely into GUI(OS) and from there start remmina I am able take controll of the RDP
| |
13:07 | what brings me also next benefit - send message to screen
| |
13:10 | <alkisg> And if you run xfreerdp from inside the session it would be the same
| |
13:10 | You don't have to use remmina from the session, you can use xfreerdp from there too
| |
13:10 | About the reboots, maybe it's a problem with debian, I don't know I'm mostly using ubuntu
| |
13:10 | <ZAJDAN> true! about the freerdp
| |
13:11 | I will try install debian8 32bit
| |
13:11 | we can try it from there
| |
13:11 | the reboot
| |
13:11 | <alkisg> OK, but I won't help you 2nd time to reinstall ltsp, you'll have to do it yourself now
| |
13:11 | Also, it's older and has other issues
| |
13:13 | <ZAJDAN> do you know how to install on debian9 latest xfreerdp?
| |
13:13 | because the version which have debian 9 from native repositories has many bugs
| |
13:13 | <alkisg> sudo apt get install xfreerdp
| |
13:13 | No, I'm not using any custom versions
| |
13:13 | <ZAJDAN> this is old version
| |
13:13 | <alkisg> Only those that are in the repositories
| |
13:14 | All rdp software has bugs...
| |
13:14 | <ZAJDAN> the version from remmina works perfectly
| |
13:14 | tested on another machine
| |
13:15 | <alkisg> Anyway, I can't help you with non-ltsp issues
| |
13:15 | Try asking in #debian or in #xfreerdp
| |
13:15 | <ZAJDAN> this is the reason why I want to go on Debian 8..there is easy compile freerdp from remmina
| |
13:15 | <alkisg> Whatever works for you :)
| |
13:16 | <ZAJDAN> on debian9 its cry about milion dependencies or deprecated packages
| |
13:16 | ltsp on debian 9 I have as VM - noproblem
| |
13:17 | I will try to create nw VM with deb8

14:03 | <ZAJDAN> on thin cleint I tested xfree rdp syntax from command line....all works
| |
14:04 | then I add this command into Startup Applications in GUI(mate)...boot client and black screen
| |
14:09 | maybe problem, that is not free session on the server(all licence are used)
| |
14:12 | yes it was the problem
| |
14:12 | I closed all RDP sessions on server and boot again - works
| |
14:39 | alkisg: please which version of freerdp you have on your ubuntu?
| |

| |
14:46 | packages.debian.org/freerdp-x11
| |
14:46 | <ZAJDAN> do you use it? the xfreerdp
| |
14:46 | <alkisg> No, I'm not using any remote tech because they all suck
| |
14:47 | !thin-clients-bandwidth
| |
14:47 | <ltsp> thin-clients-bandwidth: A small explanation why thin clients can't perform well with video, lots of screen updates etc: https://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/35694699/
| |
14:47 | <alkisg> (except for small tasks like remote assistance
| |
14:48 | <ZAJDAN> in my case I am depend on win server, so I have to use RDP
| |
14:48 | <alkisg> I use windows VMs if I have to, but never server
| |
14:48 | It's not appropriate for desktop tasks
| |
14:48 | Read why in the link above ^
| |
14:49 | <ZAJDAN> now I am testing xfreerdp on thin ltsp client....is really nimble
| |
14:51 | <alkisg> Whatever works for you. Me, I prefer fat clients + windows VM, which can do video playback and browsing etc without 4 Gbps per client
| |
14:51 | <ZAJDAN> problem is that freerdp sudentlly disconnect the session (version 1.1.0 on Debian 9)
| |
14:51 | <alkisg> OK. I'm really not interested in xfreerdp though
| |
14:52 | <ZAJDAN> compiled version freerdp(2.0)/remmina on Debian8 works perfectly without disconnect
| |
14:52 | <alkisg> So I won't chat more about this, if you don't mind...
| |
14:53 | <ZAJDAN> ok ok ok I am sorry
| |
14:53 | may I ask You about the fat + windows VM ?

14:56 | <ZAJDAN> firtly I will try read the article

16:36 | <alkisg> Hey Scotty, hi Vagrant

16:36 | <vagrantc> heyas!
| |
16:37 | <alkisg> vagrantc: how easy is it to backport ltsp to jessie? I think ZAJDAN is trying it there, and hit an issue with cleanup.d + overlayfs...
| |
16:38 | <vagrantc> the backports should all be up to date with stretch, i thought
| |
16:38 | or do you mean backporting trunk?

| |
16:38 | 0.5.8 vs 9
| |
16:38 | <vagrantc> oh, shouldn't be too hard
| |
16:39 | * vagrantc thought that was current | |
16:39 | <alkisg> Eh, 5.5.8 vs 9, sorry
| |
16:39 | <vagrantc> i wonder if it got stuck in review by the backports team, or if i really just forgot...

16:41 | <vagrantc> seems i didn't take the time to backport it
| |
16:41 | should just be a simple rebuild for ltsp, if i remember correctly
| |
16:42 | the support for ltsp-build-client is kind of annoying, but chrootless ltsp-pnp style images are easy, of course
| |
16:42 | <ZAJDAN> so I installed and have set all what is need, trying boot client, but PXE-E53: No boot filename recieved
| |
16:42 | <vagrantc> i've also been meaning to integrate all that work sbalneav did a couple months ago in debian experimental sometime soon
| |
16:44 | <ZAJDAN> Debian 8(Jessie 32bit)
| |
16:44 | <vagrantc> i can try and get the backports uploaded sometime this week
| |
16:45 | <ZAJDAN> will anybody willow help me to look what is wrong on the debian8 ltsp-pnp?
| |
16:46 | <sbalneav> ZAJDAN: Did you do an ltsp-update-kernels?
| |
16:47 | <ZAJDAN> yes, but for sure I can do again
| |
16:48 | <vagrantc> ZAJDAN: did you configure dnsmasq or dhcp-server?
| |
16:49 | <ZAJDAN> only dnsmasq
| |
16:49 | <vagrantc> because that error message is saying DHCP didn't tell it what file to download
| |
16:53 | <alkisg> ltsp-config dnsmasq --overwrite
| |
16:53 | <ZAJDAN> I gonna compare dnsmasq on debian 9 - where all works with the debian 8 conf
| |
16:53 | <vagrantc> the dnsmasq configs shouldn't have changed much
| |
16:53 | if at all
| |
16:53 | <ZAJDAN> because DHCP do my Mikrotik
| |
16:54 | hima has joined IRC (hima!~hima@41.35.179.53) | |
16:54 | <ZAJDAN> dnsmasq pass just the additional info, as is the boot file path and so on
| |
16:54 | <vagrantc> sure, proxy-dhcp is a pretty nice way to go
| |
16:57 | as alkisg said, "ltsp-config dnsmasq --overwrite" should configure it correctly, unless you'd manually configured dnsmasq in a way that was incompatible
| |
16:57 | as it only overwrites the files it knows about
| |
16:58 | <ZAJDAN> ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf ...seems that is correctly set
| |
16:58 | I also restarted dnsmasq service
| |
16:59 | but boot problem with client still
| |
17:18 | this is what I cannot understand...many things is made for ubuntu...there it works...on debian not and ubuntu is based on debian
| |
17:18 | crazy
| |
17:19 | usually as server is used Debian, so I though that ltsp will be mainly for debian
| |
17:21 | should I somewhere on ltsp server say, where is DHCP server?
| |
17:22 | <vagrantc> since you're using proxy-dhcp, the dhcp server is your router, but dnsmasq responds by relaying the dhcp info plus additional info
| |
17:23 | have you restarted dnsmasq since configuring it?
| |
17:23 | * alkisg notes that he already helped ZAJDAN set up ltsp-pnp with debian stretch in another VM of his, so some parts should already be fine.... | |
17:23 | <vagrantc> i've tested ltsp-pnp on jessie plenty...
| |
17:24 | so there's presumably just some small part misconfigured
| |
17:25 | <alkisg> vagrantc: just for fun, I'm writing an lts.conf parser in shell. Do we require that all [ipv4] sections have three dots and numbers or *, and all [mac] sections have 5 : and hex digits or *?
| |
17:25 | <ZAJDAN> I also think, it will be something small, but I am novice in this area
| |
17:25 | <alkisg> And anything that don't fits those requirements, are supposed to be hostnames?
| |
17:25 | Or is [192.168.*] also valid?
| |
17:26 | * alkisg doesn't think we support ipv6 there, do we? | |
17:27 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i don't recall the rules on what's implemented in getltscfg ... i do recall it being very permissive
| |
17:28 | alkisg: oh yeah, i've even used [10.*]
| |
17:28 | <alkisg> And it matched the IP there?
| |
17:28 | <vagrantc> alkisg: yes
| |
17:28 | <alkisg> eh, I wonder if it should also match the hostname 10.local :P
| |
17:28 | <vagrantc> alkisg: on multiple different 10.x.y.z or 10.y.x.z ...
| |
17:28 | <alkisg> Yeah I think 10.*.*.* would be more san
| |
17:28 | <vagrantc> i would presume it would
| |
17:28 | <alkisg> e
| |
17:28 | <vagrantc> in the current implementation
| |
17:29 | on any of the possible values (ip, mac, hostname) i think you can put a wildcard and have it match
| |
17:29 | been a long time since i looked at it or used it in production
| |
17:30 | alkisg: though i thought you were trying to kill of lts.conf :P
| |
17:30 | <alkisg> Sure
| |
17:30 | It just seems that ltsp6 is far away...
| |
17:30 | <vagrantc> anyways, i;ve got to head out...
| |
17:30 | good luck ZAJDAN
| |
17:30 | <alkisg> bb!
| |
17:34 | <ZAJDAN> hey boys! ltsp-config dnsmasq --overwrite ...then /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart -SOLVED the problem
| |
17:35 | vagrantc has left IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@unaffiliated/vagrantc, Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | |

17:35 | <ZAJDAN> client started boot from correct IP, but appears another problem: NFS over TCP not available from 192.168....
| |
17:36 | <alkisg> Yeah jessie defaults to nfs while you want nbd for ltsp-pnp...
| |
17:36 | Google for debian ltsp-pnp how-to, there's a tutorial somewhere
| |
17:36 | stretch changed that and is the same with ubuntu now
| |
17:36 | <ZAJDAN> ughrrrrrr
| |
17:37 | <alkisg> (I maintain ubuntu/ltsp and vagrantc maintains debian/ltsp)
| |
17:39 | <ZAJDAN> t is in /etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf BOOT_METHOD="NFS NBD AOE"
| |
17:39 | so I will let there just the NBD
| |
17:40 | what service should be restarted after this change? nbd-server ?
| |
17:42 | or I have to again update kernels

19:23 | <alkisg> Hello hima__
| |
19:23 | <hima__> i could install ltsp on another virtual machine
| |
19:23 | using ubuntu mate
| |
19:24 | and the directives in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
| |
19:24 | <alkisg> Sure, or you could clone the VM
| |
19:24 | <hima__> i did not clone
| |
19:24 | this time every thing goes stightforward
| |
19:25 | this was the last command ltsp-update-image --cleanup /
| |
19:26 | i did not need to edit lts.conf file
| |
19:26 | may be i will play around its contents
| |
19:28 | next step for me , to reconfigure ltsp.conf file
| |
19:28 | what different options inside
| |
19:29 | <alkisg> !lts.conf
| |
19:29 | <ltsp> lts.conf: (#1) http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf, or (#2) lts.conf manpage is available in the ltsp-docs package
| |
19:29 | <alkisg> Read the man page for all the instructions
| |
19:29 | <hima__> ok
| |
19:31 | is there any GUI to handle the contents of the file

19:42 | <alkisg> No, there isn't.
| |
19:44 | <hima> is the ubuntu mate i386
| |
19:45 | a 32 bit or 64
| |
19:45 | virtual box machine only see it as 64 bit
| |
19:46 | or the clients be 32bit
| |
19:52 | if changed the configuration of network interface , the dns stop
| |
19:52 | what should i do
| |
19:53 | ?
| |
19:53 | <alkisg> sudo ltsp-config dnsmasq --overwrite
| |
19:53 | <hima> i did
| |
19:53 | but still not working
| |
19:53 | <alkisg> If you have all 64bit clients, get 64bit mate
| |
19:53 | If you have at least one 32bit, get 32bit mate for the server
| |
19:54 | You have 32bit clients so get 32bit
| |
19:54 | <hima> the rule 32 bit works for bothe i386 and amd64
| |
19:54 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
19:55 | <hima> after ips being changed
| |
19:55 | the dns stop working
| |
19:55 | i can ping 8.8.8.8
| |
19:55 | but not ping google.com
| |
19:56 | <alkisg> You didn't follow the ltsp-pnp steps correctly, the part about "dns issues"
| |
19:57 | <hima> before chanign the ip
| |
19:58 | it worked good
| |
19:58 | and clients can boot
| |
19:59 | Statler has left IRC (Statler!~Georg@mail.lohn24.de, Remote host closed the connection) | |
20:03 | <hima> yes , i followed and it works now
| |
20:04 | it takes more than a minute to boot

20:11 | <alkisg> It depends on the client and on the network speed
| |
20:11 | ...and a little bit on the server, but only a little
| |
20:17 | <elias_a_> hima: Do you have gigabit switches?
| |
20:17 | 100 mbps is a bit low for ltsp IMHO.
| |
20:17 | alkisg: Don't you ever sleep? :)
| |
20:18 | <syrius> elias_a_: think it depends on how many clients you have
| |
20:18 | <hima> nop
| |
20:18 | GodFather has joined IRC (GodFather!~rcc@173-20-120-165.client.mchsi.com) | |
20:19 | <hima> but for such application it is better to use gigabit
| |
20:20 | <elias_a_> syrius: You can measure the difference clearly even with 1 client.
| |
20:20 | <syrius> for both thin and fat clients?
| |
20:21 | <elias_a_> syrius: AFAIK yes because the speed difference between 100 and 1000 is tenfold.
| |
20:21 | Local LAN will be the bottleneck in any case.
| |
20:22 | <syrius> yea

20:49 | <alkisg> hima: I think I tried up to 30 clients from the same server. I'm pretty sure you could boot 100+ if you had 2-3 NICs with bonding.
| |
20:49 | :D
| |
20:50 | *100+ fat clients only
