| 11:52 | <jeremies> I was working with my thin client and suddenly appear it the startup login screen, why this disconnection?
| |
| 11:52 | <alkisg> Check /var/log/Xorg.7.log.old on the client, it sounds like a possible xorg crash
| |
| 12:02 | <jeremies> alkisg: How to find the crash in the log?
| |

| |
| 15:44 | <alkisg> fuzzmew: sounds like you didn't run the initial-setup from ltsp-manager
| |
| 15:48 | <fuzzmew> Ok will do again
| |
| 15:49 | <alkisg> btw, output of this? netstat -nap | grep :67
| |
| 15:49 | <fuzzmew> ok
| |
| 15:50 | lucascastro has joined IRC (lucascastro!~lucas@201.182.221.14) | |
| 15:50 | <fuzzmew> https://pastebin.com/Ct896VMD
| |
| 16:16 | <alkisg> fuzzmew: ok i see that now you ran initial setup and dnsmasq is running
| |
| 16:16 | Reboot and see if it works
| |
| 16:16 | <fuzzmew> ok
| |
| 16:17 | fuzzmew has left IRC (fuzzmew!~fuzzmew@96-18-71-242.cpe.cableone.net, Quit: Leaving) | |
| 16:31 | fuzzmew has joined IRC (fuzzmew!~fuzzmew@96-18-71-242.cpe.cableone.net) | |
| 16:33 | <fuzzmew> at the attempt to boot client, it made it past the DHCP and on to TFTP error and it says the image file cannot be found
| |
| 16:37 | vagrantc has joined IRC (vagrantc!~vagrant@unaffiliated/vagrantc) | |
| 16:46 | <fuzzmew> pxelinux.0 no such file or directory
| |
| 16:55 | <alkisg> fuzzmew: and have you ran ltsp-update-image -c /, or using the ltsp-manager menu?
| |
| 17:14 | <fuzzmew> I will run it commandline, the manager did not seem to do anything
| |
| 17:14 | <alkisg> fuzzmew: you went to the server > create image menu?
| |
| 17:15 | and it "didn't do anything"?
| |
| 17:15 | Did you read the documentation pages in turn?
| |
| 17:15 | It feels like you didn't read them, and you're asking to have them re-written here in irc :D
| |
| 17:15 | !ltsp-manager
| |
| 17:15 | <ltsp> ltsp-manager: LTSP Manager is a GUI tool that makes LTSP maintenance easy. It's the recommended way to install LTSP in common setups. More info: http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Ltsp-manager
| |
| 17:16 | <alkisg> Just follow the pages there, it doesn't take more than 3 mins to read/execute them...
| |
| 17:16 | <fuzzmew> I will try doing the commandline instead then.
| |
| 17:16 | <alkisg> Nah
| |
| 17:17 | The correct way is to follow the wiki of ltsp-manager
| |
| 17:17 | If you don't follow it and you're trying various things, then you're asking for trouble :)
| |
| 17:17 | http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Ltsp-manager/Update_image
| |
| 17:17 | It's 4 lines there
| |
| 17:17 | If you try it and it doesn't work, we need to solve the issue
| |
| 17:17 | <fuzzmew> Ok sorry I did not know what to do wen I saw no indicator that it was building the image
| |
| 17:18 | <alkisg> But it's supposed to show a terminal that updates the image etc
| |
| 17:18 | It didn't show anything in your case?
| |
| 17:18 | If not , run ltsp-manager from a terminal, so that we see stderr
| |
| 17:20 | <fuzzmew> under the image it has only the choices update and revert
| |
| 17:20 | <alkisg> read the page
| |
| 17:21 | <fuzzmew> ok
| |
| 17:22 | Now it is updating the image, ok so I pick UPDATE.
| |
| 17:23 | and if it fails, I can pick Revert right?
| |
| 17:23 | <alkisg> yes that's what the wiki says
| |
| 17:23 | read it please
| |
| 17:23 | <fuzzmew> Ok reading again
| |
| 17:31 | It does not say what to do when the client ends up with an initramfs prompt.
| |
| 17:33 | <alkisg> fuzzmew: I suspect you didn't read the other page?
| |
| 17:33 | fuzzmew: http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Ltsp-manager/Installation
| |
| 17:33 | the section about "ipappend 3" there
| |
| 17:34 | (of course, you need to do all of it...)

| 20:27 | <fuzzmew> I wonder if I need to do a reboot server?

| 20:59 | fuzzmew has joined IRC (fuzzmew!~fuzzmew@96-18-71-242.cpe.cableone.net) | |
| 21:09 | <fuzzmew> IT does not say anything about what to do if you get initramfs, I searched and searched and it isn't in there
| |
| 21:11 | I did everyting and pasted it all in.
| |
| 21:12 | well, I did my bit. I will just wait
| |
| 21:17 | onixx has joined IRC (onixx!1000@174.91.240.137) | |
| 21:19 | <onixx> hello everyone, I was wondering how can I troubleshoot X_BLANKING. It seems it is only effective when the machine is at the ldm login screen
| |
| 21:19 | is this normal behaviour ?
| |
| 21:44 | <alkisg> fuzzmew: I have a few minutes for vnc if you like
| |
| 21:45 | onixx: no, it's not normal, unless there are desktop settings that override it, e.g. gnome per user settings
| |
| 21:47 | For example many desktop environments come with preconfigured screensavers...
| |
| 21:48 | <fuzzmew> Ok
| |
| 21:48 | <alkisg> x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr
| |
| 21:54 | fuzzmew: so the problem was indeed that you haven't followed http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Ltsp-manager/Installation until AFTER the installation :)
| |
| 21:54 | So it was too late to take effect :)
| |
| 21:54 | I.e. you had ipappend 3, but you had run the ltsp-update-image before the change... so it didn't take effect
| |
| 21:54 | In the next installation, just follow the steps in order
| |
| 21:55 | <fuzzmew> That is so strange, I could swear I read it all.........maybe I'm going mad, I typed in everything it told me to. I don't know how it could have happened
| |
| 21:55 | <alkisg> Hmmm, then maybe there's a 1% chance that I've missed something, although many people have tried it successfully...
| |
| 21:55 | Anyways, it should be fine now
| |
| 21:55 | Test with real clients etc
| |
| 21:56 | <fuzzmew> It worked once before a couple of years ago, so I don't know where I went wrong
| |
| 21:56 | Thank you 1000 times
| |
| 21:56 | <alkisg> You're welcome
| |
| 21:56 | fuzzmew: btw i didn't check,is that linuxmint?
| |
| 21:57 | And the only change necessary was --install-recommends, right?
| |
| 21:57 | <fuzzmew> Yes, 18.2 sonya
| |
| 21:57 | Yep
| |
| 21:58 | <alkisg> Nice
| |
| 21:58 | <fuzzmew> If I remember I will add that to anything I install

| 23:49 | <vagrantc> alkisg: i stumbled across this and was reminded of the idea to put all of ltsp into the initramfs: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=SYSLINUX#INITRD_initrd_file
| |
| 23:50 | alkisg: using a similar technique for another project
