| 00:37 | <mherweg> i'm looking for a way to improve epoptes-client so that it can also work when the client boots before the epoptes server boots
| |
| 00:59 | ...maybe the new feature "automatic reconnect" will do that?

| 15:17 | <bennabiy> alkisg: did you ever get that tvbox to work? It is a bear to work with
| |
| 15:18 | <alkisg> bennabiy: no, I didn't buy it, what does "it's a bear" mean, that it's too wlo?
| |
| 15:18 | *slow
| |
| 15:19 | We prefer to buy i3's here
| |
| 15:19 | <bennabiy> no, you would need to enable EFI netboot, and the bios is not the greatest to work with
| |
| 15:19 | I have yet to get one to boot with ltsp
| |
| 15:19 | <alkisg> Doesn't it have a local disk?
| |
| 15:19 | <bennabiy> I had to install a distro to the card on it to even get it into linux
| |
| 15:19 | yes
| |
| 15:19 | <alkisg> You can easily put initrd+kernel there
| |
| 15:19 | !local-boot
| |
| 15:19 | <ltsp> local-boot: If you want LTSP fat clients on a low-speed network, you can put i386.img on e.g. C:\Boot\LTSP\i386.img and use this command line in pxelinux.cfg: APPEND ro initrd=ltsp/i386/initrd.img init=/sbin/init-ltsp root=/dev/sda1 rootflags=ro loop=/Boot/LTSP/i386.img; IPAPPEND 3
| |
| 15:19 | <alkisg> Hmm no, not that
| |
| 15:19 | !local
| |
| 15:19 | <ltsp> I do not know about 'local', but I do know about these similar topics: 'install-localapp', 'localdev', 'localapps-print', 'RDP-localdev', 'localapps', 'LocaldevCommonGroupWorkaround', 'localxterm', 'local-disks', 'local-boot'
| |
| 15:20 | <alkisg> !kernel
| |
| 15:20 | <ltsp> I do not know about 'kernel', but I do know about these similar topics: 'ltsp-update-kernels'
| |
| 15:20 | <bennabiy> !initrd
| |
| 15:20 | <ltsp> Error: "initrd" is not a valid command.
| |
| 15:20 | <alkisg> Meh, anyway, it's KERNEL_DEVICE in lts.conf
| |
| 15:20 | <bennabiy> hmm
| |
| 15:20 | <alkisg> It auto-updates a local kernel and initrd
| |
| 15:20 | <bennabiy> if I can get one working I will let you know what I had to do
| |
| 15:20 | I have two of them
| |
| 15:20 | <alkisg> It's just efi, isn't it?
| |
| 15:20 | I was able to boot all efi clients that I had...
| |
| 15:20 | <bennabiy> yes, but a very dummied down interface
| |
| 15:21 | it is not well documented
| |
| 15:21 | <alkisg> Sure, it doesn't need any firmware options, just a local kernel
| |
| 15:21 | <bennabiy> it is designed for windows 10 or android
| |
| 15:21 | <alkisg> I suppose it doesn't have CSM compatibility mode to make it easier for you, does it?
| |
| 15:21 | <bennabiy> nope
| |
| 15:21 | <alkisg> Can it boot an ubuntu uefi usb stick?
| |
| 15:21 | <bennabiy> I do not remember
| |
| 15:22 | I will have to get it back out of the drawer
| |
| 15:22 | <alkisg> Did you ever boot linux on it?
| |
| 15:22 | <bennabiy> yes
| |
| 15:22 | I installed to the card
| |
| 15:22 | <alkisg> Then it's a piece of cake :)
| |
| 15:22 | Was it fast enough?
| |
| 15:23 | <bennabiy> I do not remember
| |
| 15:23 | I will have to get it out this week
| |
| 15:23 | I do not have time right now
| |
| 15:23 | <alkisg> If it boots linux and it's fast enough, then it's fine for ltsp
| |
| 15:23 | <bennabiy> If you remember more about how to get it working, I would appreciate it, and can try it out
| |
| 15:24 | <alkisg> !uefi
| |
| 15:24 | <ltsp> uefi: To boot UEFI clients with LTSP, switch them to Legacy BIOS (CSM). If you can't, then use google translate on this one: http://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?topic=6466.0
| |
| 15:24 | <bennabiy> great
| |
| 15:24 | <alkisg> That's just one of the many methods available
| |
| 15:25 | <bennabiy> Now, is that your son, or you as a boy?
| |
| 15:25 | <alkisg> Me, ~40 years ago... :D
| |
| 15:26 | <bennabiy> thought so
| |
| 15:26 | great picture
| |
| 15:26 | <alkisg> :)
| |
| 15:32 | <bennabiy> alkisg: did I ever tell you I grew up with a family friend (was somewhat like my uncle) who had the same last name as you.

| 20:05 | <truth_> Hi, my LTSP-server has two NICs - one for the client network (client-net) and one to the rest of the office (office-net) including printer, gateway, ...
| |
| 20:05 | The LTSP-server is able to print to the office-printer (which is a network-printer and connected via TCP/IP).
| |
| 20:05 | Is it possible to share this printer to the LTSP-clients as well? - How?
| |
| 20:19 | <quinox> One way would be to setup CUPS on the server that can talk to the printer, and then let the clients talk to that CUPS
| |
| 20:20 | <truth_> Do you know an example link?
| |
| 20:22 | <quinox> schematically it's like this: [client] <--> [CUPS on server] <--> [Printer]
| |
| 20:22 | I would start with configuring CUPS on the server, make it recognize the printer
| |
| 20:22 | CUPS has a very nice web interface for doing stuff
| |
| 20:23 | (the only nasty part is that it asks for the password of your root account IIRC)
| |
| 20:23 | if that works then you can hook up your client to the CUPS on the server
| |
| 20:24 | <truth_> That is my problem. How can I hook up the clients to CUPS?
| |
| 20:24 | <quinox> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS/Printer_sharing#Manual_setup
| |
| 20:24 | I would try that first on a booted client - modifying that file should insta-work
| |
| 20:24 | if that works you can configure it in `lts.conf` for all clients
| |
| 20:25 | <truth_> Manny thanks.
| |
| 20:25 | <quinox> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/lts.conf.5.html#contenttoc6
| |
| 20:25 | <truth_> I will try this out ...
| |
| 20:26 | <quinox> I used CUPS with a USB-printer to turn it into a network printer, worked great
| |
| 20:29 | apparently you can test it on a client by donig fe: CUPS_SERVER=server:port firefox http://www.cups.org
