<Helenah>
I can't figure out what "Error: unknown error in reply to NBD_OPT_GO: cannot continue" means.
12:49
I also don't have the netstat command on my server, and can't find a package for it meaning I'm not sure which port NBD is listening on. Something on Google suggested port 2000, however nbd-client, when I use it for debugging gives me "Connection Refused".
12:50
I was removing metacity packages, clearly this has removed some sort of LTSP dependancy.
12:51
However, when I checked what APT wanted to remove beforehand, I was pretty convinced it was only removing UI libraries and the likes.
12:52
Oh, and another note, I only made changes to the fat client chroot.

Helenah: net-tools
13:03
<Helenah>
hmm
13:03
Thanks
13:05
Hmm, appears to be running on 9571 as a inetd service.
13:05
That's more helpful.
13:09
||cw: How do I pass a password to nbd-client? "INIT_PASSWD bad"

13:09
<Helenah>
I couldn't find an argument in the manpage.
13:10
<||cw>
I've not dug that far in. sounds like the ltsp scripts/config in your fat client chroot is buggered.
13:10
<Helenah>
o.o
13:11
Ubuntu APT always does crap like this to me.
13:11
I guess I'll probs be best regenning the chroot.
13:11
Can chroots be assigned to clients via lts.conf these days? I remember previously, I had to use DHCP servers.
13:14
<||cw>
you do it in the pxe config
13:19
<Helenah>
hmm

<Helenah>
||cw: Are there any guides on using the pxe config for this?
14:03
I can't for the life of me get ltsp-build-chroot to stop installing gnome bloat.
14:04
I know most of these packages aren't needed because I've purged them from chroots.
14:06
To me it's bloat, I use prefered alternatives to applications such as gnome-terminal.

<Hyperbyte>
Helenah, you can always chroot into the ltsp dir (ltsp-chroot command) and uninstall them
14:09
<Helenah>
Hyperbyte: Not the point
14:09
It takes time away from more important things, when it's best to have the solution to not have these apps install in the first place.
14:10
<||cw>
Helenah: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/ltsp-build-client.8.html --exclude seems promising
14:10
<Helenah>
hmm

14:11
<||cw>
it's a script though right? the source can reveal many secrets
14:11
<Helenah>
||cw: LTSP definately doesn't depend on a DE, right?
14:12
It is entirely down to the end user, am I correct?
14:12
<||cw>
I'd expect fat client would imply a DE, thin client does not
14:13
<Helenah>
What I was meaning to say was, it doesn't depend on the gnome DE, right?
14:13
It's just, LTSP can work with KDE which doesn't depend on gnome.
14:14
<||cw>
I'd guess you could --exclude ubuntu-desktop and --early-packages whatever DE you want
14:14
<Helenah>
So technically, I could do --exclude mate-desktop
14:14
ubuntu-desktop? Interesting
14:16
<||cw>
ubuntu-desktop is the virual package that includes all the default ubuntu things. for my PC I tend to do a server iso install and then manually install cinnamon-desktop
14:17
I'd likely use something else for ltsp tho
14:18
<Helenah>
Yeah, I did --early-packages mate-session-manager terminator i3-wm conky xkbset
14:20
<||cw>
there is an ubuntu-mate-desktop package, but that's probably also more stuff than you need.
14:22
though might be easier to remove a few things from that one than you try to include all the stuff you need

14:41
<Helenah>
:/
14:42
||cw: Yeah, you've to kinda excludes a lot of packages...
14:43
It was still installing gnome-terminal and mate stuff which I don't need lol
14:43
so I added even more packages to the exclude
14:43
heh
14:47
Now it's installing things like caja.

<||cw>
Helenah: have you considered copying the main -desktop package, remove the stuff you specifically don't want, and making your own local apt repo to add?

Helenah: you can use this command to test ^
15:57
nbd-server listens in the iana-assigned port 10809

<Helenah>
||cw: I think I can sort out the bloat by adding more packages to the exclude argument, such as caja and plank. Almost cleaned it up.
17:02
And it would be better this way in terms of chroot deployment.
17:04
alkisg: What would be the best way to allocate chroots to specific clients without DHCP?
17:04
I'm using proxy-DHCP
17:05
||cw mentioned the pxelinux config, however I can't seem to find anything regarding the IP/MAC addresses of specific clients.
17:06
As for now, I'm going to use nbd-client accordingly to your suggestions.
17:09
<||cw>
pxelinux.cfg/, make a file with the mac address and it'll load that instead of the "default" file. I think you can do mac prefixes too, enable more logging in dnsmasq and it'll tell you what files it's looking forand
17:11
use the nbd-client for debugging, it's not a production solution
17:25
<alkisg>
Helenah: in pxelinux.cfg/01-mac-address you can put nbd chroots per client, nbdroot=server-ip/nbdname
17:27
<Helenah>
alkisg: So, that would be in the format of 00:00:00:00:00:00:00, or 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00?
17:28
<alkisg>
dashes, the second one
17:28
<Helenah>
And why do the MAC address format look long? I may have added too many digits there.
17:28
Thanks
17:28
<alkisg>
read the pxelinux wiki if you need examples
17:28
<Helenah>
I had an idea it would be the second one.
17:28
I'll take a look now thanks once again
