Error: "mac-lowercase" is not a valid command.

I do not know about 'lower', but I do know about these similar topics: 'lowercase-mac'
07:14
<alkisg>
!lowercase-mac

<ltspbot>
lowercase-mac: The new ltsp.conf expects mac addresses in lowercase. Here's a command to convert them: sed -E 's/([[:xdigit:]]{1,2}:){5}[[:xdigit:]]{1,2}/\L&/' -i ltsp.conf

Hi everyone, I need to show a demo of LTSP in a school, I would like to install LTSP sever in a virtualbox and create at least 2 ltsp-client (vm also), but I dont' know what type of network card I should use to allow ltsp-client to network-boot on the ltsp-server... Anyone could help?
13:16
<alkisg>
Jean-Philipppe Houbion: any nic, but bridged mode
13:18
Jean-Philipppe Houbion: also, you need to either select "boot from network"in the VM settings (or f12 > lan boot), or to download boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.iso, and boot from that iso, it's equivalent
13:19
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
alkisg: That's what i'm doing right now... but it doesn't work... May I give you all the details of the config I made on server ?
13:20
<alkisg>
Jean-Philipppe Houbion: if you don't mind, share your screen with me so that we finish this in a couple of minutes?
13:20
What's your host, e.g. linux, windows?
13:20
If you do mind, again not a problem, we'll solve it (slower) over irc
13:21
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
alkisg: my PC is on Linux mint, the server VM also
13:21
alkisg: with anydesk ?
13:22
<alkisg>
No just do this:
13:22
sudo apt install --yes x11vnc; x11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org
13:23
Hehe, the resolution is too big, give my eyes a few secs to adjust :D
13:24
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
let change the resolution to have a single screen
13:24
<alkisg>
Yes please
13:24
Jean-Philipppe Houbion: close virtualbox, then run it again from a terminal like this: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en virtualbox
13:24
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
better now?
13:24
<alkisg>
Also run x11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org again, as it didn't like the resolution change
13:25
The usual way is to put bridged networking in the real network
13:25
If you have a normal network setup, let's use that
13:26
You'll even be able to boot real clients then
13:26
If not, we can put internal network
13:26
What do you prefer, single nic or dual nic/internal network?
13:26
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
we can use the bridged
13:27
Ah no you'd need an ethernet connection there
13:27
You have wlan, but not lan
13:27
Let's do the dual nic instead
13:27
perfect for me :D
13:41
<alkisg>
Jean-Philipppe Houbion: any idea why your vbox NAT adapter isn't working?
13:41
I.e. the VM can't access the internet
13:41
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
I gave an fixed IP in the server I think...
13:41
<alkisg>
Ah OK, resetting...
13:43
Jean-Philipppe Houbion: I think we're ready
13:43
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
ok many thanks... could you tell me what was the problem? I understood what you did, but if I have to make it from scratch...
13:44
<alkisg>
Two nic setup; the internal goes to 192.168.67.1
13:44
NAT network, and internal network=192.168.67.1,
13:44
and the client goes to internal network
13:45
The client can boot either the way you had it, or with ipxe.iso as it's more stable and faster in vbox
13:45
So I also downloaded boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.iso
13:45
Ah and I created a pretty menu in /etc/ltsp/ltsp.conf
13:45
So that it says Linux Mint instead of x86_64
13:46
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
small detail, but it looks more PRO :D
13:46
many thanks for your help
13:46
I will create a new server VM to try to make it on my own :D
13:46
<alkisg>
You're welcome!
13:46
(I closed VNC)
13:46
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
LTSP looks amazing :D
13:46
yep
