When using epoptes, shouldn't I be able to go to "Clients" menu then navigate [Execute/Open terminal/Root, locally] and see logs etc?
12:48
the terminal is blank and doesn't respond to commands that I see.

dgroos: if you select open terminal > root, remotely, does it open?
13:34
Usually the problem that you describe happens when the root epoptes client is hanged
13:36
<dgroos>
alkisg_web, nothing happens when I try root, remotely
13:37
<alkisg_web>
User, remotely?
13:37
Does user remotely work? Also, any firewalls involved?
13:38
<dgroos>
@alkisg_web, I only see Root, remotely. I've not set up any firewalls on the server...

13:42lucascastro has joined IRC (lucascastro!~lucas@186.227.186.18)

<dgroos>
rebooted client and root, locally works. Problem was probably that I didn't issue sudo service dnsmasq at server until client was trying to boot.
13:57
Something unexpected, when looking at the logs in root, locally I see that the time shown in the syslog is about 2 minutes faster than the time at the classroom server.
13:59
<alkisg_web>
Does the NAT work?
13:59
Do clients have internet so that they could sync the time from ntp?
13:59
ntp is managed by systemd nowadays, not related to ltsp scripts much...

Ah... I was thinking that "sudo mv '/home/myusername/sch-scripts.if-up' /etc/network/if-up.d/sch-scripts" would do the NATting!

let me check the systemd NAT instructions!

<alkisg_web>
dgroos: ntp is managed by systemd
14:20
nat by ltsp manager or sch-scripts
14:20
NOT nat by systemd
14:20
Just check if the clients have internet or not...
14:21
<dgroos>
oops! OK, just tried to ping 8.8.8.8 on the local root and no connection.
14:22
<alkisg_web>
Maybe your wget got an html page

Instead of a script

<desparate_user>
I seem to have solved my problem from yesterday with the missing kernels by purging /opt/ltsp/amd64 and re-running ltsp-update-image. All looked fine, but now the clients won't boot. "read: Connection refused"
15:16
Anyone come across this error message before? Where does it come from?

15:40highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage
15:42
<desparate_user>
FCK! Don't have my mobile here. It all looks normal. Last line shown is "Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default ok" . Then after some time it continues with "connect: Connection refused" followed by many "read: Connection refused"
15:43
I suspect that's when it tries to use nbd, am I right?
15:44
<vagrantc>
it's not clear weather that's failing in the tftp of kernel+initrd or loading the OS image via NBD
15:44
and the messages output by different PXE implementations vary quite a bit
15:45
depending on your logging levels, you might be able to see if it downloads the vmlinuz and initrd.img in /var/log/syslo
15:45
in /var/log/syslog
15:45
<desparate_user>
Yes, it does
15:46
<vagrantc>
do you end up with a shell prompt eventually?
15:46
such as a busybox prompt
15:46
<desparate_user>
Nah, just repeats the line "read: Connection refused" without end
15:46
In between it comes up with something about NFS not working either, which I would expect anyway
15:47
Last syslog entries:
15:47

what OS?

64-bit
15:48
Message in between: "NFS over TCP not available from <server's IP address>"
15:48
<vagrantc>
that seems like it's needlessly using ifcpu64 ... but that's a separate issue
15:48
since you're using an amd64 chroot, there's no need to use ifcpu64
15:48
<desparate_user>
ok
15:49
<vagrantc>
could you pastebin the contents of /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.cfg/default ?
15:49
!paste | echo desparate_user
15:49
<ltsp>
desparate_user paste: the LTSP pastebin is at http://ltsp.pastebin.com. Please paste all text longer than a line or two to the pastebin, as it helps to reduce traffic in the channel. Don't forget to paste the URL of the text here.
15:49
<desparate_user>
looking at update-kernels.conf could this be an issue here:
15:50
# Use ifcpu64.c32 to detect 64-bit, PAE or 32-bit machines. PXELINUX_DEFAULT=ltsp-ifcpu64-NFS IFCPU64=true
15:50
<vagrantc>
it shouldn't hurt anything either... it's just useless
15:51
desparate_user: is this an old install that used to work? as 14.04 is kind of old to start out with a new system...
15:52
<desparate_user>
http://termbin.com/l08b
15:52
It used to work though it's not a really old install. When I started it I had trouble finding proper support for 16.04 on XEN
15:53
Though I was already thinking about upgrading
15:53alkisg_web has left IRC (alkisg_web!c2dbdcf8@gateway/web/freenode/ip.194.219.220.248, Quit: Page closed)
15:53
<desparate_user>
which would pretty much mean start from scratch
15:54
<vagrantc>
14.04 surely has lots of bugs we've already fixed in ltsp in the last 3.5 years...
15:55
default ltsp-ifcpu64-NFS
15:55
ontimeout ltsp-NBD
15:55
i'm guessing it's taking the "default" rather than the "ontimeout"
15:56
desparate_user: i'd suggest setting BOOT_METHODS=NBD in update-kernels.conf and setting IFCPU64=false
15:56
desparate_user: and then regenerating your menus ...
15:57
something like: ltsp-chroot /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels
15:57
and then ltsp-update-kernels
15:57
surprised xen didn't work well for you with 16.04
15:58
<desparate_user>
This is an LTSP PNP install. Does that make a difference?
15:58dgroos has left IRC (dgroos!~David@205.215.175.117, Remote host closed the connection)
15:58
<desparate_user>
Why use ltsp-chroot?
15:58
<vagrantc>
if it's LTSP-PNP you wouldn't use ltsp-chroot, no
16:00
edit update-kernels.conf and regenerate the menus, and see if that helps
16:03
<desparate_user>
How do I regenerate the menus?
16:03
with /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels?
16:03
<vagrantc>
sure, try that
16:04
we've rewritten a lot of this, but that part should be fine
16:04
<desparate_user>
I think one of my problems was the amount of different documentation floating around. It's hard to find out which one is correct.
16:05
Would I need to update the image afterwards?
16:05
<vagrantc>
yes
16:06
<desparate_user>
:-( That takes a huge amout of time. Will probably kick it off now and look for it on another day
16:06
<vagrantc>
the official documentation lacks maintenance, and there are lots of really badly written howtos all over the internet
16:06
<desparate_user>
Seems so
16:06
Any good onws?
16:06
ones
16:06
<vagrantc>
so yes, we need better documentation
16:07
desparate_user: check if /boot/pxelinux.cfg/default contains a different default entry
16:07
<desparate_user>
I did and it doesn't
16:08
<vagrantc>
it still contains the ltsp-ifcpu64-NFS ?
16:08
<desparate_user>
yes
16:08
<vagrantc>
after running /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels ?
16:08
<desparate_user>
This should be updated by /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels, right?
16:08
yes
16:09
<vagrantc>
desparate_user: you're looking at the one in /boot, not the one in tftp ?
16:09
<desparate_user>
I am looking at /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.cfg/default
16:09
<vagrantc>
the one in tftp may not get correctly updated until ltsp-update-image is run
16:09
desparate_user: first check /boot/pxelinux.cfg/default
16:10
<desparate_user>
much shorter. but same default
16:10
<vagrantc>
could you paste the results?
16:11
<desparate_user>
sure
16:11
http://termbin.com/cx6u
16:11
<vagrantc>
could you paste your update-kernels.conf ?
16:12
<desparate_user>
http://termbin.com/je87
16:13
the files in /boot/pxelinux.cfg get updated when I run update-kernels. At least the timestamp changes
16:14* vagrantc has no idea where that default is coming from, then
16:16
<vagrantc>
probably about all the energy i have to help troubleshoot such an ancient version, unfortunately :/
16:17
<desparate_user>
never mind for now. I'll try to set up a newer one at home. Is it better to use the packages from ts.sch.gr?
16:17
<vagrantc>
yes
16:17
<desparate_user>
ok. So this is fine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp ?
16:17
<vagrantc>
they're actively maintained by alkisg, who's the other active LTSP developer
16:17
<desparate_user>
Wonderful. Thanks for your help!

17:27
alkisg_web: Success with internet access at clients! Thanks so much again. (Note to self, make better detailed notes about working w/sch-scripts.)
17:34
Anyone have the 16.04 ubuntu fat client error upon login: “ExecutablePath /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver” and then down further it says: “UnreportableReason this problem report is damaged and cannon be processed. PermissionsError(13, Permission denied’)”?

dgroos: did you dpkg-divert the broken nbd-client init script?
17:42
If not, that's why the dnsmasq restart issue
17:42
Or, the network-manager "bind-interfaces" stanza...
17:43
Which desktop environment, unity?
17:43
I don't think canonical supports unity anymore...
17:43
Check if it says the same on the server, and if so, report it in #ubuntu
17:53

hi vagrantc
18:20
that’s great!
18:21* vagrantc is just waiting on alkisg to finish up some things before uploading to debian
18:21
<dgroos>
:-)
18:23
alkisg_web, I don’t know if it’s important or just the way 16.04 does things, but in the internal NIC (of 2 nic system) I wasn’t able to get the 0.0.0.0 to ‘stick’ upon saving. It just showed the Gateway being empty (and still does).

ltsp-manager uses dpkg-divert to remove them

That's what bugs dnsmasq
18:33
<dgroos>
I’ll delete them immediately! Again thanks!
18:33
<alkisg_web>
dgroos: about the gateway, it's just nm being smart
18:33
