| 16:35 | <Eric4> hi guys, do you know if debian 9 strech works with ltsp for now ?
| |
| 16:44 | <vagrantc> it *should*
| |
| 16:45 | Eric4: are you having any particular issues?
| |
| 16:46 | major change since debian jessie was the switch to NBD
| |
| 16:46 | NFS may not really work anymore
| |
| 16:52 | <Eric4> few weird things : i had to install and configure manually tftpd-hpa, booting is strange it says no /etc/rc.local and it gets stuck on pxelinux ... few seconds and then displays a session manager. I found i weird and thought as debian 9 was recent maybe ltsp was not fully operationnal
| |
| 16:52 | sorry for my english
| |
| 16:58 | i forgot to put back my lts.conf. Now it's the same but the display manager is gdm. I guess i booted in a thin client mode ?
| |
| 16:59 | <alkisg> Eric4: did you run `ltsp-config dnsmasq` to configure dnsmasq as the tftpd server before installing tftpd-hpa?
| |
| 16:59 | Also, you installed gdm into the chroot?!
| |
| 16:59 | gvy has left IRC (gvy!~mike@altlinux/developer/mike, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 16:59 | <Eric4> no i am in pnp mode. And i don't use dnsmasq as i already have a pxe server on my network
| |
| 17:00 | <alkisg> dnsmasq works as tftp too
| |
| 17:00 | So you can use it even if you don't use it for dhcp
| |
| 17:01 | I.e. you just needed `ltsp-config dnsmasq --no-proxydhcp`
| |
| 17:01 | <Eric4> so what's the point using dnsmasq ? i already have a dhcp and and a pxe server on my network. Sorry i'm a bit slow to understand
| |
| 17:01 | :+-)
| |
| 17:01 | <alkisg> dnsmasq can do dhcp, dns, tftpd
| |
| 17:02 | You only need tftpd
| |
| 17:02 | So if you use dnsmasq, you're using the same as other ltsp users so we can help you more easily
| |
| 17:02 | <Eric4> you mean dnsmasq replaces tftpd hpa ?
| |
| 17:02 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 17:02 | While tftpd-hpa for example doesn't start on boots some times, and noone cares to fix it because we don't use it
| |
| 17:03 | Anyways, so your current issue is that you see gdm instead of ldm?
| |
| 17:03 | <Eric4> i didn't know as my previous ubuntu setup ran without configuring dnsmasq or tftpd
| |
| 17:04 | <alkisg> You were transferring the tftp dir to your pxe server after each ltsp server update?
| |
| 17:04 | That sounds like too much trouble...
| |
| 17:04 | <Eric4> I just add a pxe entry to my existing pxe to chain to LTSP pxe server
| |
| 17:05 | it allows me to keep my wds stuff, and to have several ltsp server on my network
| |
| 17:05 | <alkisg> (08:03:29 μμ) Eric4: i didn't know as my previous ubuntu setup ran without configuring dnsmasq or tftpd
| |
| 17:05 | That means that your ltsp server didn't have any tftp server
| |
| 17:05 | Which can't work if you don't put your tftp files elsewhere
| |
| 17:05 | Which you say you didn't do
| |
| 17:06 | So, you're clearly not mentioning something...
| |
| 17:06 | <Eric4> yes it had one but i didn't even configure it or apt-get install it
| |
| 17:06 | <alkisg> Then it had tftpd-hpa
| |
| 17:06 | That's what ltsp used to default to in the past
| |
| 17:06 | <Eric4> it was configured automatically, i guess by apt-get install ltsp-server
| |
| 17:06 | <alkisg> Anyways, those are history
| |
| 17:06 | What's your current issue?
| |
| 17:07 | <Eric4> i just have a weird message on boot about /etc/rc.local missing
| |
| 17:07 | <alkisg> And is it there?
| |
| 17:08 | <Eric4> so i was starting to wonder if ltsp was fully working on debian 9 as it was released few days ago
| |
| 17:09 | and the behavior of the boot is different than ubuntu as the screen is stuck on "pxelinux ...... " for 10 seconds before displaying gdm
| |
| 17:10 | how can i know if i'm booting thin or fat client
| |
| 17:10 | <alkisg> You asked one question
| |
| 17:10 | I asked for clarification, you didn't answer
| |
| 17:10 | <Eric4> yes sorry
| |
| 17:10 | <alkisg> Then you asked 4 other questions
| |
| 17:11 | Can we take those one by one?
| |
| 17:11 | <Eric4> yes :-)
| |
| 17:12 | i have no current issue. But the fact that it tells me rc.local missing and that tftp hpa didn't work out of the box made me wonder if ltsp worked fine with debian stretch
| |
| 17:13 | you answered my question. No problem if the rc.local is missing
| |
| 17:13 | <alkisg> (08:07:41 μμ) alkisg: And is it there?
| |
| 17:13 | ls -l /etc/rc.local on a client.
| |
| 17:13 | <Eric4> oh sorry i misunderstood. I though you meant is that all ..
| |
| 17:13 | i don't have any /etc/rc.local
| |
| 17:14 | so the message is normal
| |
| 17:14 | <alkisg> And unrelated to ltsp then
| |
| 17:14 | <Eric4> it might come from debian obiously
| |
| 17:14 | yes
| |
| 17:14 | <alkisg> (08:10:32 μμ) Eric4: how can i know if i'm booting thin or fat client
| |
| 17:14 | Login, open a terminal
| |
| 17:14 | <Eric4> yes :-)
| |
| 17:14 | <alkisg> If it says "user@server", you are on the server
| |
| 17:14 | If it says "user@ltsp123", you are on a fat client
| |
| 17:14 | (so, user@server is thin client)
| |
| 17:15 | <Eric4> Ok thanks ! And how can i prevent thin client mode (as i don't want to use or configure it )?
| |
| 17:15 | <alkisg> If you have more than 400 mb ram, the clients are automatically fat
| |
| 17:15 | So you don't need to prevent anything
| |
| 17:16 | <Eric4> cool
| |
| 17:16 | Thank you for your help. No more question :-) My collegue is waiting for me to go and have a beer
| |
| 17:16 | <alkisg> Nice
| |
| 17:16 | Have fun!
| |
| 17:16 | <vagrantc> you mentioned you had an old lts.conf, which you might need to make sure to check against current defaults
| |
| 17:17 | <Eric4> Yes i will boss :-) Gonna check. Have fun to ;-)
| |
| 17:17 | * vagrantc waves | |
| 17:17 | <Eric4> thank you vagrantc
