| 08:16 | Chap has joined IRC (Chap!4a7b4a42@gateway/web/freenode/ip.74.123.74.66) | |
| 08:17 | <Chap> What is the preferred password reset method for a nontrivial number of users (in my case, 150)?
| |
| 08:18 | From initial tests I'm guess ldm doesn't gracefully handle `passwd -e`
| |
| 08:19 | <alkisg> Chap: password reset happens on the ltsp server from the sysadmin and isn't ltsp specific
| |
| 08:19 | You weren't asking for "how the users can change their password themselves", right?
| |
| 08:20 | <Chap> Correct.
| |
| 08:20 | Along this vein: https://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/29868064/
| |
| 08:21 | markit has joined IRC (markit!~marco@host179-38-static.243-95-b.business.telecomitalia.it) | |
| 08:21 | <Chap> passwd -e expires the password, forcing an interactive password change at next login (via ssh at least)
| |
| 08:22 | <alkisg> Yes, ltsp 5 doesn't support that, while ltsp 6 will
| |
| 08:22 | (if it ever gets developed)
| |
| 08:22 | <Chap> LTSP5 is just too damn solid.
| |
| 08:22 | <alkisg> So instead of expiring them, tell the users to change them?
| |
| 08:23 | There's a gui for the users to change their passwords...
| |
| 08:24 | E.g. setting the password to "1234" and telling them to login and change it, is one workaround...
| |
| 08:24 | instead of using -e
| |
| 08:26 | <Chap> Dig it. Thank you sir.
| |
| 08:27 | <alkisg> You can also easily add a menu in LDM for that, using just lts.conf
| |
| 08:27 | (to invoke an xterm to handle the password expiry prompts)
| |
| 08:28 | <Chap> Ah ha! Yes! I've done that before for another purpose.. probably a motd or something.
| |
| 08:28 | OK cool. I drop those in /etc/X11/Xsession.d right?
| |
| 08:29 | <alkisg> No, there's an lts.conf setting for menus
| |
| 08:29 | LDM_MENU_ITEM or something
| |
| 08:29 | <Chap> Ah yes I see.
| |
| 08:31 | Well, I see the RC_FILE01... part
| |
| 08:32 | <alkisg> Nope
| |
| 08:32 | LDM_MENU_ITEM_0="Change your password"
| |
| 08:32 | LDM_MENU_COMMAND_0="xterm -e command..."
| |
| 08:33 | Where command is the command that would get the user name and ssh to the server etc
| |
| 08:34 | <Chap> Right on. Doc page? It's not in the lts.conf man pages I'm finding.
| |
| 08:34 | <alkisg> I don't think anyone bothered to document it :)
| |
| 08:36 | <Chap> Oh, fun.

| 08:45 | <stephen^5ad76ee5> Good Morning (here inthe UK). I recently installed LTSP GUI manager and, with some considerable, and much apprected, help from Alkisg, I managed to get a fully functioning system up and running...cont
| |
| 08:45 | but, I have just run an "update" on the image and it appears to have broken it
| |
| 08:46 | Same problem as I had when I first installed
| |
| 08:47 | prlem encuntered when "setting up nbd-client" at the bootup screen on the client
| |
| 08:47 | problem
| |
| 08:48 | any help would be welcome
| |
| 08:53 | <alkisg> what is the exact error message?
| |

| 09:02 | <alkisg> !client-list
| |
| 09:02 | <ltsp> client-list: to get a list of all nbd-clients (which sometimes is the same as ltsp clients), run: netstat -tn | sed -n 's/.*:10809 *\([0-9.]*\):.*/\1/p' | sort -Vu

| 09:24 | <Chap> alkisg: Where would I see the results of an LDM_MENU_COMMAND_0 ? I set mine to /usr/bin/xterm -e /path/script.sh but nothing seems to happen when I click the menu item.
| |
| 09:26 | <alkisg> try plain xterm with no params to see, you probably have a misteake
| |
| 09:29 | <Chap> Yes sir - Plain xterm worked. Invalid path. Thank you.
| |
| 10:35 | Cheers

| 10:57 | <Stephen> hi came on an hour ago, but connection dropped out...
| |
| 10:58 | problem withg pnp ltsp gui manager
| |
| 10:59 | installed, initiallY and had problem with nbd clinet setup at client login. but fixed by alkisg
| |
| 10:59 | have just updated image and problem has returned. So, client not booting. Any help most wlecome
| |

| 11:18 | <alkisg> Stephen: (11:53:33 πμ) alkisg: what is the exact error message?
| |
| 11:18 | <Stephen> hang on... i'll boot the client and check the exct wording... Back in a minute
| |
| 11:20 | seting up nbd-client ... error: socket failed: connection refused exiting
| |
| 11:21 | it then eventually drops to the initramfs prompt
| |
| 11:21 | kjackal_ has left IRC (kjackal_!~quassel@207.110.29.138.ptr.us.xo.net, Ping timeout: 248 seconds) | |
| 11:22 | <Stephen> pretty much identical to the original error message when I first installed and built the image
| |
| 11:24 | I should also say, I may have subsequently now muddied the waters futher by carrying out a "fix" as outlined in the pnp ubuntu main page. Which is:...
| |
| 11:24 | sudo -i sed 's/^dns=dnsmasq/# Commented by ltsp-pnp: dns=dnsmasq/' \ -i /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf sed 's/^port=0/# Commented by ltsp-pnp: port=0/' -i /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf service network-manager restart service dnsmasq restart
| |
| 11:24 | Which was one of the fixes to a bug that has been identified with pnp ltsp
| |
| 11:24 | but whoch must have nothing to do with this problem becasue it has made no difference
| |
| 11:25 | I think this is what is technocally known as "groping in the dark" on my part....hahaha
| |
| 11:26 | <alkisg> Stephen: now it's 14:30 for me, try to find me online tomorrow morning to help via vnc. If you messed things up a lot, it might be hard to restore them via plain chat.
| |
| 11:28 | <Stephen> no worries Alkisg. I shall do a complete reinstall of my system (Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS 32 bit) and install the pnp LTSP GUI manager and then come back on here tomorrow
| |
| 11:28 | thanks for getting back to me. Hopefully catch you tomorrow
