| 01:01 | <dgroos> troubleshooting of AD/pbis-open/ltsp moves forward…
| |
| 01:03 | * vagrantc hides | |
| 01:03 | <dgroos> I’m needing to open terminal, root locally via epoptes. The Xterm opens but it has no prompt, just the cursor
| |
| 01:03 | :-D
| |
| 01:04 | sorry!
| |
| 01:04 | So actually, just trying to get the xterm to work so I can test the school computers from my house.
| |
| 01:06 | <vagrantc> just use a virtual machine...
| |
| 01:06 | GodFather has left IRC (GodFather!~rcc@47.33.250.142, Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | |
| 01:06 | <dgroos> But I just had a thought about the client terminal not working properly: I made a xterm default conf file in my home dir and maybe that is messing things up?
| |
| 01:06 | <vagrantc> dgroos: also, pretty serious about seeing if it works with ltsp-build-client --fat-client
| |
| 01:07 | dgroos: that will more easily confirm the issue of weather there are conflicting rules for pam than manually reverting everyrthing
| |
| 01:07 | GodFather has joined IRC (GodFather!~rcc@47.33.250.142) | |
| 01:08 | <dgroos> I’ve used vm’s before a good bit but still I don’t really know how to set it up exactly, but will figure it out if the current lead doesn’t move the problem-solving forward…
| |
| 01:09 | The person at pbis-open had the idea that the RequireMembershipOf setting was getting messed up.
| |
| 01:10 | So I checked on the server and it was properly set, then was trying to go into a client I launched with epoptes, but then got stuck since I can’t run a command on the client!
| |
| 01:10 | That would bring the problem on the client into greater resolution.
| |
| 01:13 | So, looks like I need to test this tomorrow in the classroom since not getting it to work from home.
| |
| 01:14 | vagrantc: what’s the difference between the —cleanup / and —fat-client commands?
| |
| 01:16 | <vagrantc> dgroos: well, the command for "ltsp-update-image --cleanup /" and the "ltsp-build-client --fat-client" are two totally different commands.
| |
| 01:16 | ltsp-build-client builds a chroot in /opt/ltsp/ARCH and then builds /opt/ltsp/images/ARCH.img out of that
| |
| 01:17 | "ltsp-update-image --cleanup /" builds an image in /opt/ltsp/images/ARCH.img out of the server's /
| |
| 01:18 | dgroos: if you built your ltsp environment in a chroot, it won't have any of the AD configuration
| |
| 01:19 | normally, the ltsp-pnp method is much simpler and easier, but once you go messing with arbitrary configuration files on the server, we can't always sanitize the resulting LTSP image because we're not omniscient
| |
| 01:20 | <dgroos> *dgroos looks disappointed…
| |
| 01:21 | OK. Where does the ltsp-build-client get it’s info from to create the chroot.
| |
| 01:21 | ?
| |
| 01:22 | <vagrantc> by default, a distribution mirror
| |
| 01:22 | <dgroos> the desktop’s system minus anything added after install?
| |
| 01:22 | <vagrantc> e.g. Ubuntu, Debian
| |
| 01:22 | <dgroos> Oh…
| |
| 01:22 | <vagrantc> by default, it'll create a thin-client image, hence the --fat-client parameter
| |
| 01:24 | <dgroos> So, if I just ran the command on server (via ssh from home) right now I’d get this chroot-then-img w/out pbis stuff?
| |
| 01:24 | <vagrantc> dgroos: just
| |
| 01:24 | dgroos: er, yes
| |
| 01:24 | dgroos: it would replace your existing image, but that's easy enough to recreate, right?
| |
| 01:25 | dgroos: you're running ubuntu?
| |
| 01:25 | <dgroos> yes, from my effort it’s just a few letters in the right place, from the computers perspective it is the instructions for an ant colony to build a castle…
| |
| 01:25 | yes
| |
| 01:25 | 16.04.3
| |
| 01:27 | am rebooting the server, then will: sudo ltsp-build-client —fat-client
| |
| 01:27 | <vagrantc> dgroos: so, "ltsp-build-client --fat-client"
| |
| 01:27 | why reboot the server?
| |
| 01:29 | <dgroos> um… I just tried to run epoptes and got lots of GtkWarnings: so thought I would clean that up… it was quick.
| |
| 01:31 | just checking—that’s sudo… right?
| |
| 01:31 | <vagrantc> yes, you'll need to run it with root privledges
| |
| 01:33 | <dgroos> Got…NOTE: Root directory /opt/ltsp/amd64 already exists, this will lead to problems, please remove it before trying again. Exiting.
| |
| 01:33 | error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally
| |
| 01:33 | so… I’ll delete that directory, yes?
| |
| 01:35 | <vagrantc> sounds like you've done that before
| |
| 01:35 | move it aside if you're at all unsure about what it's doing there ...
| |
| 01:36 | mv /opt/ltsp/amd64 /opt/ltsp/old-amd64
| |
| 01:37 | <dgroos> got it!

| 01:51 | <dgroos> back!
| |
| 01:52 | OK will mv it. I first installed with the ‘old’ ltsp-pnp page, then I installed/ran ltsp-manager. maybe that was it?
| |
| 01:53 | adrianorg has left IRC (adrianorg!~adrianorg@177.18.102.121, Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | |
| 01:55 | <dgroos> it’s running.
| |
| 01:56 | vagrantc: will it change any of my dnsmasq settings? I’ve commented out the proxy line so other computers in the school don’t PXEboot Ubuntu.
| |
| 01:57 | GodFather has left IRC (GodFather!~rcc@47.33.250.142, Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | |
| 01:58 | <vagrantc> dgroos: no, it just builds a chroot in /opt/ltsp/amd64 and then generates an image in /opt/ltsp/images/amd64.img and copies the appropriate kernel/initrd/boot files into the tftp directory

| 02:00 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: hello from Greece
| |
| 02:01 | <dgroos> k, thanks vagrantc, for all this info and help.
| |
| 02:01 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: in preparation for writing documentation for ltsp for stretch and buster
| |
| 02:02 | vagrantc: any preferences for my clean install of basic system before ltsp?
| |
| 02:03 | vagrantc: one nic or two. dhcpd or dnsmasq ?
| |
| 02:04 | vagrantc: netinstalls are ok?
| |
| 02:09 | vagrantc: sysvinit or systemd? hopefully older box with bios ok cause I have no uefi box now and i386 versions
| |
| 02:12 | <dgroos> hmmm… just finished running: sudo ltsp-build-client --fat-client and after doing many many things it concluded with:
| |
| 02:12 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: both ltsp-pnp and separate chroot versions? (obviously not at same time)
| |
| 02:12 | <dgroos> No LTSP chroots found, please run ltsp-build-client
| |
| 02:12 | error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally
| |
| 02:12 | problem?
| |
| 02:14 | <rkwesk> dgroos: David, have you included a desktop and xorg in chroot first?
| |
| 02:14 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: ya sas!
| |
| 02:14 | * vagrantc might spell it abysmally | |
| 02:14 | <vagrantc> gia?
| |
| 02:15 | dgroos: wow... you got it rought
| |
| 02:15 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: geia is better but remember it is transliterated from another alphabet
| |
| 02:16 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: :)
| |
| 02:16 | rkwesk: as far as documentation goes, i think we should move to describing the ltsp-pnp method as preferred
| |
| 02:17 | rkwesk: once we get ltsp-manager into debian, we can recommend that.
| |
| 02:17 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: ok. what about other questions?
| |
| 02:18 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: what do you mean by netinstall?
| |
| 02:18 | rkwesk: i don't think the init system matters enough to say one or the other ... it's basically not relevent as far as i'm concerned
| |
| 02:19 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: an iso that uses almost all pkgs from Internet rather than from iso
| |
| 02:19 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: the chroot documentation would be good, but i'd put it as the alternate method
| |
| 02:19 | rkwesk: i think installing debian is a bit out of scope ... the assumption should be that you have debian installed already
| |
| 02:20 | <dgroos> rkwesk: ah, not yet I think…
| |
| 02:20 | vagrantc: rought? probably that’s not good…
| |
| 02:20 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: if I recall stretch still defaults to sysvinit not systemd
| |
| 02:20 | <vagrantc> dgroos: did you get any more messages above that indicating why it failed?
| |
| 02:20 | dgroos: rough is what i meant to say
| |
| 02:21 | rkwesk: no, it's been systemd by default since jessie
| |
| 02:21 | rkwesk: but really, the init system isn't (yet) significant for LTSP
| |
| 02:21 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: aha, ok
| |
| 02:22 | <dgroos> vagrantc: right.
| |
| 02:22 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: did i miss any of your questions? :)
| |
| 02:22 | <dgroos> I see this: Setting up thermald (1.5-2ubuntu4) ...
| |
| 02:22 | Running in chroot, ignoring request.
| |
| 02:22 | invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start.
| |
| 02:22 | <vagrantc> that should be fine
| |
| 02:22 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: my questions were mainly about preparing a blank disk before installing ltsp but not documenting that part
| |
| 02:23 | <dgroos> And these don’t look good: Creating config file /etc/default/grub with new version
| |
| 02:23 | grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
| |
| 02:23 | grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot (is /dev mounted?).
| |
| 02:23 | grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
| |
| 02:23 | * vagrantc wonders why grub is installed at all | |
| 02:24 | <vagrantc> dgroos: another option ... try without the fat-client ... we can add that later
| |
| 02:24 | <dgroos> ? um? I did a normal install and isn’t that a part of a normal install?
| |
| 02:24 | OK
| |
| 02:24 | <vagrantc> dgroos: not for LTSP
| |
| 02:24 | <rkwesk> dgroos: have you used mount -o bind /dev/ /path of chroot/dev
| |
| 02:25 | <vagrantc> dgroos: first purge /opt/ltsp/* and then re-run ltsp-build-client
| |
| 02:25 | <dgroos> not since before I started using ltsp-pnp several years back.
| |
| 02:25 | OK
| |
| 02:25 | <vagrantc> ltsp-build-client is barely maintained ... i test it for debian, not sure anyone tests for ubuntu
| |
| 02:26 | <rkwesk> dgroos: in order to install desktop and xorg you need a few mounts, starting with one I mentioned
| |
| 02:28 | vagrantc: are you in North America or the Netherlands?
| |
| 02:29 | <dgroos> OK, trying to regroup here… I’m wondering if maybe it would be best to go back to using sudo ltsp-update-image --cleanup / and see if I can track down the RequireMembershipOf setting on the client image tomorrow.
| |
| 02:30 | I’m doing a lot of things I don’t fully (ok barely) grasp.
| |
| 02:30 | at this point.
| |
| 02:30 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: at my age I am up at strange hours, surely you are not?
| |
| 02:31 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: almost as far west as you can get in north america :)
| |
| 02:31 | the wild west is east of here
| |
| 02:31 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: Hawaii or Guam then?
| |
| 02:32 | vagrantc: I originally hail from Connecticut
| |
| 02:32 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: continental :)
| |
| 02:33 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: ok so it is 7:30 pm where you are
| |
| 02:35 | vagrantc: I never travelled to your neck of the woods
| |
| 02:37 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: don't think i've ever been to connecticut, but visited greece once :)
| |
| 02:38 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: ok so any netinst iso is ok and pnp first then separate chroot second
| |
| 02:38 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: sounds fine to me, sure
| |
| 02:39 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: if you ever think of visiting again I definitely want a heads up so we meet
| |
| 02:40 | rkwesk signing off, waves!
| |
| 02:40 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: which part of greece?
| |
| 02:40 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: Athens
| |
| 02:40 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: you've met alkisg ?
| |
| 02:41 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: a couple of times when he would com to run a workshop but not lately
| |
| 02:42 | vagrantc: it would be a special treat if we all three met sometime
| |
| 02:42 | <vagrantc> rkwesk: alright, let's make it happen :)
| |
| 02:42 | * vagrantc waves to rkwesk | |
| 02:43 | <rkwesk> vagrantc: waves

| 02:46 | <dgroos> vagrantc: to return things to how they were… I’ll remove the amd64 that just got built (it’s 4.2 GiB), return /old-amd64 to /amd64 (it’s 20 KiB) then re-run ltsp-update-image —cleanup /
| |
| 02:46 | yes?

| 02:51 | <vagrantc> dgroos: the old-amd64 shouldn't be used if you're using "ltsp-update-image --cleanup /"
| |
| 02:51 | in fact, it could cause issues
| |
| 02:54 | <dgroos> OK, I’ll get rid of both of the amd64 dirs, then re-run. Thanks!
| |
| 03:18 | vagrantc: Heading off! I’ll post what I find out tomorrow!

| 11:39 | <stevecook> Hello. Just testing out the "GUI" pnp ltsp installation. Installed on my bare metal rig and trying to set up a Virtualbox VM client. When booting up the client, it is picking up the fact it needs to boot form the network and goos so far as setting up nbd client. At which point it throws the error "socket failed: connection refused". Is this a problem related to my trying to run the clinet in a VM. Or is it something esle that I can
| |
| 11:40 | <alkisg> stevecook: the line was too long, it was cut there: Or is it something esle that I can
| |
| 11:40 | There's a problem with /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/ltsp_i386.conf file
| |
| 11:41 | <stevecook> ah ok#
| |
| 11:41 | Could you let me know how to fix it please Alskig?
| |
| 11:42 | at the moment, that conf file is empty
| |
| 11:42 | I should ssay, this is on ubuntu 32 bit server
| |
| 11:43 | <alkisg> OK, wait 1 minute...

| 11:59 | <alkisg> be back in 20'
| |
| 11:59 | <stevecook> ok
| |
| 12:13 | <alkisg> stevecook: yes your ip is 10.42.0.251
| |
| 12:13 | (your server ip)
| |
| 12:14 | So from the client initramfs prompt, try: nbd-client 10.42.0.251 -N /opt/ltsp/i386 /dev/nbd0
| |
| 12:14 | <stevecook> ok, will do. will come on back here in a few moments
| |
| 12:14 | <alkisg> OK, I'll come back in another 20' :)
| |
| 12:14 | But type your progress...
| |
| 12:15 | <stevecook> cheers alskig
| |
| 12:20 | ok, when I enter the following at the initramfs prompt:
| |
| 12:20 | nbd-client 10.42.0.251 -N /opt/ltsp/i386 /dev/nbd0
| |

| |
| 12:28 | stevecook: to solve this quicker, let me have a look via vnc:

| |
| 12:33 | <stevecook> wow....thanks alkisg
| |
| 12:33 | <alkisg> np
| |
| 12:34 | <stevecook> did i do something wrong in the gui installation to casue that problem?
| |
| 12:35 | <alkisg> I think it's my fault, I don't think I put ipappend in the ltsp-manager code base
| |
| 12:36 | <stevecook> ah ok. cheers though mate. i really can't thank you enough for your help
| |
| 12:36 | <alkisg> I'll upload a new version that will solve the issue
| |
| 12:36 | <stevecook> brilliant. Thanks alkisg
| |
| 12:36 | <alkisg> press ctrl+c in tilda to terminate vnc
| |
| 12:36 | <stevecook> is it okay for me to close the screen share?
| |
| 12:36 | <alkisg> yes please do so
| |
| 12:36 | <stevecook> ok cheers
| |
| 12:36 | <alkisg> Cheers :)
| |
| 12:38 | <stevecook> client is in and all working...:)
| |
| 12:38 | right....clonzilla image done pronto!
| |
| 12:39 | thanks again.... off to play with my shiny new client

| |
| 18:23 | <vagrantc> alkisg: hmmmm... off the top of my head I can't see a reason not to ... but maybe I'm missing something
| |
| 18:24 | i guess the root server might be different than the tftp server, but that's an unusual corner case and probably requires manual configuration anyways
| |
| 18:25 | * vagrantc wants to kill off ltsp-build-client and replace it with something simpler. | |
| 18:25 | <vagrantc> maybe ltsp6 will just happen by technical and temporal erosion

| 18:44 | <alkisg> vagrantc: one problem that I can think of, is that we'll miss the other dhcp options like dns servers
| |
| 18:44 | <fernavat> alkisg: that file already had "ipappend 3" after each append, did not find any line with "ipappend 2"
| |
| 18:44 | <alkisg> We already miss that with proxydhcp, so we're using lts.conf instead, but now we'll lose them in the normal dhcp mode of dnsmsq too
| |
| 18:45 | fernavat: something strange happens then. Can you try this from the client?
| |
| 18:45 | !nbd-client
| |
| 18:45 | <ltsp> nbd-client: To try mounting the NBD image from the client initramfs: nbd-client 192.168.67.1 -N /opt/ltsp/i386 /dev/nbd0
| |
| 18:45 | <alkisg> (put your server ip there)
| |
| 18:46 | <vagrantc> alkisg: with the default being fat clients, that is somewhat significant
| |
| 18:47 | alkisg: having to specify them in lts.conf isn't great, especially if they change networks
| |
| 19:08 | <fernavat> alkisg: tryed: nbd-client 10.1.2.37 -N /opt/ltsp/images/amd64.img /dev/nbd0.... Negotiation: ..Error: Read failed: End of file Exiting
| |
| 19:09 | <alkisg> fernavat: did you restart nbd-server? what are the contents of that conf file?
| |
| 19:09 | cat /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/ltsp_i386.conf
| |
| 19:09 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i forget if we have an option like DNS_SERVERS=server that could be a reasonable default in many cases
| |
| 19:10 | alkisg: appears there are fallbacks for DNS, so that isn't horrible
| |
| 19:10 | <alkisg> vagrantc: well, in the new default installation, the ltsp server is also a dns server, and the clients default to that one
| |
| 19:11 | <vagrantc> right
| |
| 19:11 | <alkisg> It also provides caching, but there were some considerations about cache poisoning from other dnsmasq users...
| |
| 19:11 | <vagrantc> if people are severely concerned about that, they can configure DNS in lts.conf
| |
| 19:15 | alkisg: are people really that concerned about dns cache poisoning? it basically requires a compromised dnsmasq or other dns servers...
| |
| 19:16 | i mean, is there any additional vulnerability by using dnsmasq?

| |
| 19:30 | <alkisg> vagrantc: no idea, that's about all I've heard about it :)
| |
| 19:30 | fernavat: you're welcome
| |
| 19:31 | vagrantc: so you're basically ok with ippappend 3. right?
| |
| 19:31 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i think so
| |
| 19:31 | alkisg: if it's a disaster, we can always revert it :)
| |
| 19:32 | alkisg: but we've encouraged it for so long...
| |
| 19:32 | <alkisg> Hehe, cool :)
| |
| 19:32 | I think we'll mostly hear complains about "why do I have to set these things that I had in dhcpd.conf, in lts.conf now..."
| |
| 19:33 | Eh, they can just edit a conf file and revert to ipappend 2 if needed
| |
| 19:33 | I wonder how fernavat got ipappend 3 though
| |
| 19:33 | <vagrantc> well, reverting to ipappend 2 is more complicated than it should be...
| |
| 19:33 | <alkisg> Maybe he followed both the ltsp-pnp and the ltsp-manager pages
| |
| 19:33 | I'm in favor of shipping a pxelinux.cfg/default file, that is not generated by ltsp :D
| |
| 19:33 | Just put vmlinuz xx there and work with symlinks :D
| |
| 19:34 | No regeneration at all, they can just go there and edit stuff
| |
| 19:36 | <fernavat> I only followed the ltsp-manager in 3 clean install servers
| |
| 19:41 | in ubuntu 32 appears ipappend 2, in ubuntu 64 appears ipappend 3
| |
| 19:52 | in order to boot the client from ubuntu 32 server I had to change ipappend to 3
| |
| 19:54 | how do I know if a client booted as thin or fat?
| |
| 19:57 | <alkisg> fernavat: you can see it in epoptes
| |
| 19:57 | green vs blue icon (=fat)
| |
| 20:18 | <fernavat> alkisg: Great! Thanks again for your great help, I had days trying to figure this out

| |
| 20:53 | I've been spoiled with ltsp-pnp and haven't had to build chroots in a few years
| |
| 20:54 | Faith has left IRC (Faith!~Paty_@unaffiliated/faith, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 20:55 | <dgroos> Is there someplace where there are written instructions I could follow to build an Ubuntu 16.04.3 ltsp image via a chroot?
| |
| 20:55 | <vagrantc> "ltsp-build-client"
| |
| 20:55 | or... "sudo ltsp-build-client"
| |
| 20:56 | you might want to purge everything in /opt/ltsp/ first ... or move it to /opt/ltsp.old or something
| |
| 20:57 | <dgroos> OK
| |
| 20:57 | I think there was something about making some mount points?
| |
| 21:01 | OK, it’s building!
| |
| 21:01 | <vagrantc> dgroos: all the ones i know of are mounted by default
| |
| 21:02 | /sys, /dev/pts, /proc
| |

| |
| 21:19 | I’m googlin portions of these error message but no luck so far.
| |
| 21:24 | <vagrantc> dgroos: try building without --fat-client
| |
| 21:32 | <dgroos> Actually, I had forgotton that one from yesterday and did exactly as you had typed above, so I did build w/out the —fat client.
| |
| 21:32 | <vagrantc> i guess ubuntu's just plain broken
| |
| 21:33 | <dgroos> Here’s the content of the grub that’s referred to (http://paste.ubuntu.com/25575249/)
| |
| 21:34 | :-( OK, I thought it was a great idea to test the idea that something disruptive from pbis was getting loaded into the client image.
| |
| 21:36 | So, the best guess is that some module is waylaying LDM’s normal process of authenticating, so authentication is trying to happen locally on the client, so that’s not good.
| |
| 21:37 | Interesting that when the server was JOINED to AD, nothing was written to the auth.log during login attempts.
| |
| 21:38 | again, thanks so much vagrantc for your time and effort, I’ll keep noodling this…
