| 07:18 | <alkisg_web> sukker: ltsp doesn't support uefi out of the box yet. I've done some tests with various levels of success. The best one was with grub efi
| |
| 07:19 | So, I used the client's uefi pxe stack to load grub efi over the network. Then, grub can load whatever, from .efi kernels to non-efi kernels
| |
| 07:19 | It's possible to directly load a kernel.efi over the network, but it would be much harder, so I don't think there's any point in trying that
| |
| 07:19 | ipxe.efi cannot load non-efi kernels though. grub efi can do it
| |
| 07:20 | So if you're trying with ipxe, you'd need ipxe and kernel.efi. With pxe stack + netgrub efi, any kernel will do.
| |
| 07:20 | And syslinux also has some efi support, but it's not easier than the other two
| |
| 07:29 | Btw, why "build" a kernel? Which distro is that?!

| 09:42 | <simonc> Hello, Just upgraded from Debian 8 to 9. Having trouble getting latest version to work.
| |
| 09:43 | Following instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto

| 09:44 | <simonc> nfs on way out. All clients set up as fat. How do I change back to thin?
| |
| 09:45 | Fat clients work but cannot unlock a screen. Need ldap?
| |
| 09:46 | Would prefer to keep clients as thin, or at least know how to swap between
| |
| 09:47 | tried LTSP_FATCLIENT=false but did not work :-( not in man page for lts.conf
| |
| 09:59 | <alkisg> simonc: if LTSP_FATCLIENT=False didn't work, then your clients don't read your lts.conf
| |
| 09:59 | To unlock the screen, see this:
| |
| 09:59 | !hash
| |
| 09:59 | <ltsp`> I do not know about 'hash', but I do know about these similar topics: 'ROOT_PASSWORD_HASH', 'LDM_PASSWORD_HASH'
| |
| 09:59 | <alkisg> !LDM_PASSWORD_HASH
| |
| 09:59 | <ltsp`> LDM_PASSWORD_HASH: LDM_PASSWORD_HASH=True in lts.conf saves the password hash to /etc/shadow on login, so that the users can unlock the screensaver etc. If they happen to change their password though, that only takes effect until logout.
| |
| 10:04 | <simonc> Thanks will try your suggestions!
| |
| 10:09 | :-) LDM Password Hash works a treat. Cheers.

| 12:57 | <simonc> Fat Client works, when lts.conf changed to LTSP_FATCLIENT=False the client boots but no graphical display, just dreaded single flashing cursor in top left :-(
| |
| 12:58 | Will try and debug in the meantime.
| |
| 13:06 | <alkisg> simonc: you may have conficting lts.conf directives; what's your current lts.conf?
| |
| 13:07 | Ah, also try this: X_SMART_COLOR_DEPTH=False

| 13:23 | <simonc> Hi Alkisg, thanks for the help. I can get CTRL-ALT-F1 to get a console, the hostname is that of the client not the server, then login as root using root passwd of server, then startx works fine. But only as root user.
| |
| 13:25 | Am I right in thinking master lts.conf is in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/lts.conf then after making changes you should update the image?
| |
| 13:27 | [Default] LDM_DIRECTX=True, LDM_PASSWORD_HASH=True, USE_LOCAL_SWAP=True
| |
| 13:28 | [mac1] LTSP_FATCLIENT=False [mac2] LTSP_FATCLIENT=True
| |
| 13:29 | This seems to be a very retrograde step. Jessie worked more or less straight out of the box. Stretch on the other hand :-(
| |
| 13:39 | <alkisg> simonc: distros are not important, software is
| |
| 13:40 | E.g. kernel devs don't really support i386 anymore,
| |
| 13:40 | xorg devs don't really support 16 bpp color modes anymore,
| |
| 13:40 | etc etc
| |
| 13:40 | Did you try X_SMART_COLOR_DEPTH=False? I don't see it in your lts.conf
| |
| 13:41 | You don't need to update the image after updating lts.conf
| |
| 13:41 | <simonc> Will try it.
| |
| 13:41 | Okay thanks.
| |
| 13:44 | Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet !
| |
| 13:47 | That worked. WooHoo. Kudos to you Alkis. I assume you are the person in the changelog of ltsp-doc along with vagrant.
| |
| 13:48 | <alkisg> Yes, I'm an ltsp developer
| |
| 13:48 | Cheers for now, later...
