| 12:11 | <enaut[m]> alkisg: about making the shared-folders a sepparate module... how do you suggest to do it? make a cli app for it and then call this cli from ltsp-manager and sch-scripts? I guess you are much of a shell coder - so it'll probably be in shellscript?
| |
| 12:13 | <alkisg> enaut[m]: afaik it's already there in ltsp-manager, as a python service
| |
| 12:13 | The different thing will be that now it could become a separate package
| |
| 12:14 | systemctl status shared-folders, stop/start etc should already work
| |
| 12:14 | Playing with group arrays isn't funny in shell, that's why both shared-folders and pamltsp are in python
| |
| 12:14 | <enaut[m]> ok so you think about making a ltsp-shared-folders.deb file.
| |
| 12:15 | <alkisg> A shared-folders.deb, yes; unrelated to ltsp
| |
| 12:15 | <enaut[m]> If you ask me shell is never funny just unreadable :(
| |
| 12:15 | <alkisg> Hehe, it's hard to run python in initramfs though, so shell has its uses
| |
| 12:16 | And just running command | sed... in python is unreadable too
| |
| 12:16 | <enaut[m]> yep.
| |
| 12:18 | <alkisg> I think I'll pause programming until summer though, as I need to focus on some other tasks; I'll catch up in August to prepare 20.04 for schools for September
| |
| 12:18 | <enaut[m]> But then with the sepparate package. How do we manage the api? like do we just use import shared-folders?
| |
| 12:18 | <alkisg> Oh no api. You just put things in an /etc file, and restart the service
| |
| 12:18 | Like modifying lighttpd.conf etc
| |
| 12:19 | <enaut[m]> ok
| |
| 12:19 | <alkisg> The info is in `getent passwd`; group members for shared folders etc
| |
| 12:19 | In ltsp manager, there's an "enable shared folders" box (I think... maybe I've hidden it when internationalizing sch-scripts, not sure)
| |
| 12:20 | So for each group you want to enable shared folders, you show a checkbox, and you put it to /etc/default/shared-folders if it's checked
| |
| 12:20 | That functionality is already there; I was just planning to separate it to a new package
| |
| 12:21 | <enaut[m]> it is still there (I just disabled it for the most recent release as all the initial setup might mess up the ltsp19 - as said I'm slow at bash)
| |
| 12:23 | <alkisg> https://gitlab.com/sch-scripts/sch-scripts/commits/master has english messages, maybe it could help for ltsp19 support
| |
| 12:23 | I.e. the new sch-scripts version; I've deployed it in 6-7 schools
| |
| 12:25 | <enaut[m]> Thanks for the link I was planning on going through your changes the comming days

| 14:55 | <pavars> Hi, we just did a fresh install of ltsp server and initially some of the clients were booting to a black screen with blinking cursor and some of them got the ubuntu screen for login
| |
| 14:55 | however, now all of them are booting into blinking cursor mode, can someone please point in t]
| |
| 14:56 | in the right direction?
| |
| 15:09 | <alkisg> ltsp5 or 19?

| 15:28 | <alkisg> (06:09:30 PM) alkisg: ltsp5 or 19?
| |
| 15:28 | pavars: ^

| 16:11 | <pavars> ltsp5
| |
| 16:15 | <alkisg> You probably need a newer kernel/xorg in the chroot
| |
| 16:15 | Are they intel clients?
| |
| 16:15 | Or amd?
| |
| 16:15 | etc
| |
| 16:35 | <pavars> amd
| |
| 16:35 | and running as thin clients
| |
| 16:36 | the thin clients are the same as in other offices and there it's running fine, just here it doesn't want to work
| |
| 16:49 | <alkisg> Which kernel/xorg in the chroot?
| |
| 16:49 | And which cpu model exactly...
| |
| 16:49 | The other offices may have newer or older kernel/xorg
| |
| 16:50 | If you setup epoptes, I can take a quick look over vnc some time
| |
| 16:57 | <pavars> there are mixed models
| |
| 16:57 | of fujitsu s550, s700, s900
| |
| 16:58 | it should bee chrootless
| |
| 16:58 | I'm not sure how to run epoptes on a client if we cant even get the ubuntu splash screen
| |
| 17:01 | the other 2 are built in the last 4-5 months time except this one which we installed today
| |
| 17:02 | thing is initially it came up on some clients, but we forgot to add desktop gui :D since it is a server install for software raid etc, and after adding the gui none of the clients get the splash screen anymore
| |
| 17:06 | we will try tomorrow with Fujitsu s720 and build them as fat clients, see if it helps
| |
| 17:07 | also we have ldap server and vpn running on the same server/ machine with ltsp could that be an issue?

| 17:22 | <alkisg> pavars: do you have the greek schools ppa in your chroot?
| |
| 17:22 | pavars has left IRC (pavars!~pavars@77.89.199.130, Ping timeout: 268 seconds) | |
| 17:23 | <alkisg> I'm not sure if you mean that you have a xorg problem, or a "can't reach splash screen" problem; maybe it's a netplan problem after all
| |
| 17:23 | Put the greek schools ppa in your sources
| |
| 17:32 | pavars has joined IRC (pavars!~pavars@77.89.199.130) | |
| 17:34 | <alkisg> pavars: see irclogs.ltsp.org

| 17:39 | pavars has joined IRC (pavars!~pavars@77.89.199.130) | |
| 17:40 | <pavars> greekschools ppa is in the chrootless sources, will add it tomorrow once I'm back in the office
| |
| 17:41 | the issue is following: the boot image gets picked up from tftp and it loads all the things it needs, then after it's done there should be the ubuntu splash screen login page, but instead of the login page we're just getting a black screen with cursor blinking _
| |
| 17:50 | <alkisg> !quiet
| |
| 17:50 | <ltsp> quiet: to enable the Debian kernel and initramfs to show up more messages, in order to better troubleshoot the boot process, remove "quiet" from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
| |
| 17:50 | <alkisg> !quiet-splash
| |
| 17:50 | <ltsp> quiet-splash: to disable the splash screen in Ubuntu, in order to see any boot error messages, run sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default and remove quiet splash plymouth:force-splash vt.handoff=7
| |
| 17:52 | <alkisg> !netplan
| |
| 17:52 | <ltsp> netplan: To work around https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1763608/comments/47, either update to a new LTSP version, or put this in lts.conf: INIT_COMMAND_RM_NETPLAN="rm -rf /lib/systemd/system-generators/netplan /run/netplan"
| |
| 17:54 | <pavars> netplan can bee an issue? is it advised to use NetworkManager?
| |
| 17:56 | thanks, have a good night, I have to leave for today
| |
| 17:56 | <alkisg> No
| |
| 17:56 | netplan breaks network manager
| |
| 17:57 | so that command is needed
