| 18:29 | <alkisg> hank7, I have some time now if you're around
| |
| 18:39 | <hank7> awesome. Yes i have time
| |
| 18:39 | thank you
| |
| 18:40 | so i need to open epotes from my ltsp server and put that info you put earlier, correct?
| |
| 18:46 | i connected in epoptes
| |
| 18:58 | <alkisg> hank7, all ok, you just needed to apt update ltsp
| |
| 18:58 | you had the old 19.12 one instead of the new 20.01
| |
| 18:59 | <hank7> oh ok.. good to know. I will try booting up the diskless workstation once the current process is done and post results.
| |
| 18:59 | Thank you so much for your help. It is much appreciated.
| |
| 19:00 | ok thin client is booting up now
| |
| 19:03 | ok it gave the same error as before: Image doesnt exist /root/images/newubuntu-ltsp.img
| |
| 19:04 | ltsp command failed mount_img_src /root/images/newubuntu-ltsp.img /root
| |
| 19:05 | aborting ltsp, enable DEBUG_SHELL to troubleshoot
| |
| 19:05 | is it looking for the image in the wrong directory?

| 19:30 | <alkisg> hank7, try `sudo ltsp ipxe`
| |
| 19:31 | <hank7> i did that and reboot thin client but same
| |
| 19:31 | well actually not same, different errors
| |
| 19:33 | keyerror: 999
| |
| 19:34 | <alkisg> That keyerror doesn't sound like an ltsp error
| |
| 19:34 | Can you take a photo?
| |
| 19:34 | <hank7> yes, where can i put photo for you to see?
| |
| 19:35 | <alkisg> imgur.com
| |
| 19:36 | <hank7> haha ok.. i thought maybe it can be through the irc.. ok
| |
| 19:36 | let me get a link

| 19:40 | <alkisg> hank7, sounds like you have a broken passwd file, did you ever edit it manually?
| |
| 19:40 | run pwck etc on the server to check its integrity
| |
| 19:41 | and grpck
| |
| 19:41 | <hank7> I have not edit it.
| |
| 19:41 | ok
| |
| 19:42 | <alkisg> user 'nagios': no group 999
| |
| 19:42 | correct that, then run `ltsp initrd`, then reboot client
| |
| 19:42 | <hank7> i used to have that application on this machine. ok ill look at that
| |
| 19:48 | <alkisg> hank7, passwd can't have comments
| |
| 19:48 | OK let me fix it
| |
| 19:49 | <hank7> oh ok i ran deluser nagios and it said no user
| |
| 19:49 | <alkisg> Also, #www-data is wrong too
| |
| 19:50 | hank7, don't edit it now
| |
| 19:50 | let me fix it
| |
| 19:50 | hank7, ok try to boot the client now
| |
| 19:53 | <hank7> Yay! I got a login screen.
| |
| 19:53 | thanks so much. This really should be a dedicated server and not other services.
| |
| 19:53 | runnign at the same time
| |
| 19:58 | <alkisg> You're welcome :)
| |
| 20:03 | <hank7> the desktop is slow. i suspect it is this old thin client though.. diskless workstation 1720
| |
| 20:26 | <alkisg> The new ltsp doesn't support "thin clients", only "fat clients"
| |
| 20:26 | The specifications are the same as normal ubuntu installations
| |
| 20:27 | Core i3 etc should be fine
| |
| 20:27 | <hank7> fat clients, meaning like a normal desktop.
| |
| 20:27 | ah ok
| |
| 20:30 | i got somehting unexpected for me. I'm thinking that this is how it works but I'm just ignorant/learning. On my ltsp server I have a user, erik. When I boot up the thin client and login as erik, I can see files that are on my desktop on the ltsp server. I was thinking that it got all that from the virtual machine image. For example, the user(s) I created on the virtual machine in virtualbox, i thought these were the users that were going to be presented to the
| |
| 20:31 | client.
| |
| 20:32 | <alkisg> hank7, this is by design. Create users on the server. The VM is only the programs, not users nor home.
| |
| 20:34 | <hank7> Ok. so to install programs, i'd need boot up the VM, install app, shutdown the VM, and run ltsp image myimage.img. Do i have that right?
| |
| 20:34 | <alkisg> yes
| |
| 20:36 | <hank7> can this be done whilst users are logged in to clients, or should they log off for admin to install apps?

| 21:52 | <PanchoIIX> Hello everyone, I have no idea what I did wrong. In a fresh OS installation (Ubuntu 19.10 and Uuntu MATE 18.04) I followed the steps from here https://ltsp.org/docs/installation/ (CHROOTLESS) The client goes directly to the iPXE boot menu and only Memory test and other but there isn't the image created to boot. Please any idea what am I doing
| |
| 21:52 | wrong? Thanks!
