alomelo: what version of etherboot are the working and non-working ones using?
ogra:anything in particular i should look gor with alternate cd??
Hello all. Is anyone out there using the load balancing with Gutsy? I'm especially interested if anyone has implemented the querying of ldminfod for the server rating, and if so, would you be willing to share the process and code you have for making it work. Thanks!
Hi. I manage to install and run ltsp on ubuntu. Everything works fine. I boot up on client and log in, but I need to run some graphical applications (gvim for example) as different user. So I "su - shamot" in terminal, then "export DISPLAY=localhost:13.0" and then "gvim" but all I get is: X connection to localhost:13.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Any suggestions, please?
How do I add applications to LTSP 5 installed on a Debian machine? Specially the KDE environment.
on server processes, there is no more processes from that user... if I ping that IP, I have reply..
i thought that could be a bad client RAM.. but.. there is about no use of clients RAM, right?
any idea on what is going on?! or.. is there anything else I can do to find out?
akSeya, how much memory in client?
can you go to 128?
i'll put 128Mb ram, then boot with a live CD and let it doing something..
you just dont have enough!
can the ubuntu ltsp packages "co-exist" somehow with an existing dhcp server?
ogra: got any pointer to some documentation maybe?
ogra:anything special i need to loook for in alternate cd install..so far has "just worked"
is there any up-to-date documentation for installing ltsp on a ubuntu gutsy?
ogra: if i want to keep my existing dhcp server, how would i go about this?
ogra: ok. then i have to install all the services like tftp and so on manually?
ogra: ok, nice. where can i read how i need to configure the dhcp?
it didnt work till I change the file?
tftpd-hpa defaults to switch on the inetd setup, i wonder why it didnt for you, are you sure there is no line for it in your inetd.conf ?
everything goes fine till I get the message "alsa-utils.c device doesnt support 44000Hz changed to 44099Hz [OK] "
aha, ogra you are http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/ arent you?
Hi all. Does anyone have a collection of cybercafe management tools for a thin client cyber cafe? Or suggestions for what works well in that direction?
savetheWorld: Error: "kiosk" is not a valid command.
savetheWorld: Error: "herlp" is not a valid command.
savetheWorld: (help [<plugin>] [<command>]) -- This command gives a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin.
i installed tftp-server on ubuntu and configured my dhcp server -- how do i need to go about configuring tftp? any pointers?
mfc_alpha: if you install ltsp-server package, tftpd-hpa should be configured properly.
moldy: is an inetd running?
if your problem is coming from NFS, then you must be well past tftp problems.
moldy: which linux distro and release?
if the kernel is getting transferred, then tftp is working. period.
moldy: are you and mfc_alpha the same person or not?
mfc_alpha: what linux distro? what release?
I seems to come from NFS isn't it?
moldy, mfc_alpha: is this a clean install for both of you, or an upgrade?
vagrantc: you mean that something give the filesystem to the client and this thing is not NFS?
but ... how can i help if you take off?
moldy: ok, so did you make any progress? still need a hand?
most unusual that it didn't automatically configure inetd to use it.
i'm almost certain the default behavior is to use inetd. so what was different or unusual about your configuration, i don't know.
vagrantc: anyway... what does the client auth against, by default?
vagrantc: but on the terminal client, i get "Login incorrect"
moldy: have you configured lts.conf at all?
moldy: has the server changed ip addresses since you built the ltsp environment?
vagrantc: can i somehow get at any debugging output client-side?
vagrantc: /var/log/ldm.log on the client?
vagrantc: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf <- do i need to set the SCREEN_NN stuff there?
vagrantc: do i need to do anything for the changes to take effect except reboot the client?
moldy: shouldn't need to, no.
moldy: presuming ubuntu isn't using tty2, that looks good to me.
vagrantc: i thought that config should get me a tty on tty2?
let's just see if it's reading the lts.conf at all.
oh, this started out as a dapper box?
did you first upgrade to edgy, feisty, and then gutsy?
moldy: any luck on getting a shell on tty7?
vagrantc: do you think my current problems could be related to the fact that i skipped edgy?
vagrantc: right now my test thin client is on the same subnet as all my usual clients, could this be a problem?
vagrantc: then i get, in the server log: pam_env(ssh:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory.
on the client, i am thrown back to the login prompt.
otavio: so 1 would be the next package to build ... ?
otavio: do we loose our place in the queue with a new upload?
vagrantc: do i need to have a gui installed on the server for the client to be able to login?
otavio: you think it's ok to make ltsp, ldm and ltspfs i386/amd64/powerpc only ?
otavio: well, i'm not really able to test most architectures... but i've fought and fought with sparc.
on the terminal client, should i be able to login to the text login on tty1, or is it normal that this does not work?
otavio: the network booting code only supports i386, powerpc, and sparc, with untested code for alpha.
on the terminal server, there must be an X process running, right?
otavio: but sparc definitely doesn't work... the network boot part in ltsp works, but there's bugs in klibc-utils that cause it to fail in the initramfs.
moldy: oh ... you didn't have a window manager installed?
vagrantc: sick? are you doing well?
vagrantc: oh my! and are you feeling better now?
otavio: yeah ... you're busy with debian-installer stuff mostly?
vagrantc: but you're better now?
HI, im using tcpwrappers on portmap i have set inside hosts.deny ALL:ALL and im using inside hosts.allow portmap: 192.168.9.0/255.255.255.0 which is my network, but im unable to use nfs, would you tell me what im doing wrong?
you need more than jus portmap..need nfs itself?
hello. I have been trying for two days to configure the dhcp failover in edubuntu for ltsp and when ever i put in the failover parameters into the dhcp.conf in /etc/ltsp my clients cant boot. If I comment it out, then no problem. Can some one help or has run into this before?
and btw...for now i am just dealing with the master. I have NOT configured a slave. Does that make a difference?
Who's got Koolu thin clients?
I can't get them to boot via Gutsy LTSP. According to http://forum.koolu.org/viewtopic.php?t=2 Gutsy should "just work"... I'm getting a signal 11 from Xorg when it tries to launch X. Any ideas?
vagrantc, what happens with LDM_THEME unset ? is it backwards compatible and uses the "default" link as all former releases ? so upgrades dont fall apart ?
well, i'm way before "make install"
vagrantc: Is that change in trunk?
vagrantc, where did the screen.d script for ldm go ?
ogra: you calling --libexecdir in debian/rules ?
otavio: so does a package priority (required, important, standard, optional, extra) effect where in the buildd's queue a package ends up?
inst that defaulting to /usr/lib anyway ?
why would it do that ?
why doest it use the system default for libexecdir ?
at any rate, the code is in a much better state to put it whatever crazy place your distro thinks it belongs.
20:31 * vagrantc suspects there is no sane global default.
ogra: you're not sleeping tonight, are you?
ogra, "i'm slowly starting to get unhappy with the attitude that there is no other linux than fedora"
ogra, we often believe that there is this kind of attitude from Ubuntu.
ogra, us being angry at each other is not productive.
vagrantc, libexecdir is defined as a GNU standard, Debian doesn't have it?
ogra, and isn't it a case that you weren't even using the make install scripts at all before?
vagrantc, yes but it isn't even defined to somewhere else? It is a standard GNU directory no?
warren: heck if i know what's standard, i just got it all working and don't mind so much.
vagrantc, hmm. do you have any code creating the rc.d dir in your packaging ?
hello. I had issues with edubuntu and getting failover to work. I jumped over to k12ltsp and im looking to get ltsp working with dhcp failover/load balance. I specifically had issues with the failover component not working with eth0 and it complained of such in logs. Can anyone give insight into whether the k12ltsp distro is good for school envs?
orga: yes..i posted there too.the issue is Im under tremendous pressure to get this env up, as windows viruses have plagued the darn environment. It is a big school, so I need a proof of concept ready to go.
orga: 6.0 just was released..which is what i have. i suppose an rpm -qa should tell me which version of ltsp comes with that.
what's the point of using glib?
RyanRyan52: it looks like some of the changes are also pertaining to the guest button code?
RyanRyan52: is the code tested?
ogra: while Im at it..i know your busy...but installing edubuntu on standalone mode produced some issues with dhcp and binding to eth0. Is that typical?
vagrantc, did we talk about moving ldminfod to ldm itself yet?
21:22 * warren can't remember.
achandrashekar_, what do you mean by "standalone mode" ?
vagrantc, we don't have to do it now, but I hope we can do it soon.
The GNOME guys are interested in gdm integration possibilities after F9.
ogra, the media would be confused, what to cover?
ogra: what the "sleep(5);" in the no re-ask the password thingy?
ogra: wouldn't we want to to sleep after the message was displayed?
it for the user, so she actually sees the "password failed"
ogra: have you tested the single password attempt patch you posted?
ogra: any objection to having the greeter not display the date ?
could pass it through ldminfod ... but which server gets priority if you have multiple servers defined?
more for me to do!
why would you set anything in lts.conf ?
besides, we probably don't have to handle anything differently in our code.
