=== cafuego is getting an 'rpc failed' on booting a thin client (it gets an IP and a kernel)
cafuegospecifically: 'rpc failed: 2' in between /scripts/nfs-premount and /scripts/nfs-bottom12:34
mhzI actually never payed attention to errors as long as clients do boot12:36
mhzIIRC, Oliver mentioned some errors as 'normal' for this version12:36

cafuegoThis plonks me in a busybox shell, no joy on the booting :-(12:36
mhzooohhh12:36
=== mhz dislikes busybox
cafuegoThe scripts all report 'Done.' but then I end up with: mount: Mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev failed: No such file or directory12:37

zakameheya Yagisan 04:09
neurogeekjelkner, lets see.. it shouldn't matter because you are using the same packages04:09
neurogeekjelkner, sounds you are still missing some deps04:10
YagisanSo whats up ? I had a rather nice 3 day weekend, which was finished off with terrorist raids a few suburbs away =-O04:11
neurogeekjelkner, or your libraries are way too wrong04:12
jelknerneurogeek: so, what can i do?04:14
bluefrog-10 hi folks, is that ok if I publish an (U/Edu)buntu management script on edubuntu wiki under the following license? http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5 04:15
jelkneri could bite the bullet, and reinstall edubuntu04:15
neurogeeknot yet.. lets see if we cabn work it out04:15
jelknermoving home directories and getting the info i need from /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow04:15
jelkneryes, i would rather not have to reinstall04:16
neurogeekjelkner, did you apt-get update??04:16
jelkneryes04:16
jelknermany, many time, since august04:16
neurogeekjelkner, Ok04:16
jelkners/times/time04:16
neurogeeki would do this then.. i would download tk source code and idel source code to see if it works... 04:16
jelknerhmm... but that would mean i still have a broken tk on the system04:17
jelknerwhich will probably cause other problems in the future04:18
Yagisanbluefrog-10: IIRC the wiki already is all covered by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/04:19
jelkneri'm open to trying to get rid of the current tk in a more complete way (did apt-get remove tk8.4 --purge still leave artifacts that are causing this?)04:19
jelknerbut i would prefer to reinstall then to try messing around with source installs04:19
Yagisanhmm, that reminds me, I need to ask mhz about restoring authorship credits on the wiki04:20
BurgundaviaYagisan, what do you mean restore?04:21
Burgundaviabluefrog-10, the wiki is currently under an ambigous license, but is most likely the doc team ones. They are GFDL and CC-by-sa 2.004:22
YagisanBurgundavia: Simply, I wrote a document with my authorship, added stuff from another author that privately mailed me, edited it and fixed some mistakes04:24
YagisanBurgundavia: and stuck it on the wiki, while cleaning up the formating, mhz removed the authorship in favour of a community doc04:24
neurogeekjelkner, Ok.. my thoughts were to compile/install tk and idle in a non-standard dir so you could test if thet problems remained in your packages04:25
BurgundaviaYagisan, hmm...04:25
YagisanBurgundavia: I wish to speak to him first, then revert the removals (and keep the cleanups)04:25
BurgundaviaYagisan, if you mean a page that lists what you have written, your Homepages is great for that04:25
Burgundaviaany other place is not good04:26
YagisanBurgundavia: No, check history on http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/BootingClientsWithoutPxe04:26
BurgundaviaYagisan, we don't put any credits on the wiki04:26
Burgundaviaso I would have removed them as well04:27
YagisanBurgundavia: hmm, can you point me to policy on that04:27
Burgundaviahmm, don't know if we ever wrote it down04:27
Burgundavialikely the style guide might mention it04:28
YagisanBurgundavia: I never saw it anywhere, and I would have taken it into consideration04:28
Burgundaviathe pratical reason we don't do it that a lot of docs have a number of authors04:29
Burgundaviaplus we avoid the whole "thats my doc" thing04:29
YagisanBurgundavia: Then you have a bad license for the docs.04:30
Burgundaviawhy do you say?04:31
Burgundaviathe attribution part of CC and the GFDL?04:31
Burgundaviait is there, look in the history04:31
Burgundaviathe license doesn't say you have to identify in the main doc who wrote what, you just have to be able to tell04:31
YagisanBurgundavia: the attribution part can cause confusion. confusion is bad04:32
Burgundaviaregardless, those are the licenses we release it under04:32
YagisanBurgundavia: I'd rather had been commented out then deleted04:32
Burgundaviathat just means that editors get to read it, yay04:32
BurgundaviaYagisan, I understand where you are coming from but I have to say I don't agree with you04:33
YagisanBurgundavia: That's fine. I just want to discuss the whys, and get it into a formal policy04:33
Burgundaviasure, join #ubuntu-dco04:34

Burgundaviabetter actually is to write an email to the ubuntu-doc list04:34
Burgundaviabecause I am about to leave for work, so will not able to continue this04:34
YagisanBurgundavia: because, under my understanding of the license, it was broken by deleting the authorship creditsm without substantial changes in content04:34
YagisanBurgundavia: 2:30am here, I'll be in bed soon04:35

bluefrog-10edoo list05:58
edoobluefrog-10: huh?05:58
JaneWbluefrog-10: yes05:59
bluefrog-10so far doc on edubuntu are under by-sa/2.505:59
bluefrog-10what if i want to publish something under by-nc-sa/2.5?05:59
JaneWbluefrog-10: are you wanting to publish your content on our wiki under by-nc-sa/2.5?06:04
bluefrog-10JaneW, I'd like to, yes06:05
JaneWbluefrog-10:  why would you not want to use  by-sa/2.5?06:05
bluefrog-10JaneW, selfishness I presume :), I explain myself...06:06
bluefrog-10I am currently unemployed and spending an awful lot of time on that script of mine (I am no programmer to start with but doing my best) and I don't like the idea of someone just taking the script as it is and publishing it in paper for example...06:07
JaneWbluefrog-10: script?06:08
bluefrog-10JaneW, bash script with menus to ease the installation and management of various programs targeting IT guys and non IT people (teachers...)06:10
bluefrog-10JaneW, programs such as Samba-ldap, changing  skeletons depending of grooup membership and so on...06:11
JaneWbluefrog-10: we are not actually comfortable with the nc license, and make a point of making all of our content available via GPL and  cc-sa/2.506:13
bluefrog-10JaneW, or maybe I can just create a page with a link to my website or would that be considered as being impolite/misconduct?06:13
JaneWbluefrog-10: I would suggest that a good way to handle this would be for you to publish your script (or whathaveyou) on your own site and we can link to it from our wiki.06:14
JaneWsnap :)06:14
bluefrog-10JaneW, ok :)06:14
bluefrog-10JaneW, ty for answering06:14
JaneWnp06:15
bluefrog-10JaneW, sry what' the cc-sa for, I don't seem to find it on creative commons page06:18

vmarkshi~08:09
vmarksmysteriously, my edubuntu machine has stopped booting clients.08:09
vmarksyet dhcp is on08:09
vmarksany suggestions are welcome08:11
neurogeekvmarks, booting clients?? as in thin-clients??08:17
vmarksyes08:19
vmarksit's a two-nic server also doing thinclient NAT, and both nics are configured, and it worked only a few hours ago.08:20
neurogeekvmarks, did you check your ftfp server??08:22
vmarksno, I didn't.08:22
vmarksearlier I had some thinclients that could get DHCP but didn't find pxelinux.0 to be a valid image file.08:24
vmarkssince then, I haven't had a thinclient that has worked in the past, working now08:24
neurogeekwhen you boot pxe.. you have to check three things.. DHCP server (dhcp conf), TFTP server and pxelinux.cfg files08:25
neurogeekits probably not finding the right configuration for booting up08:25
vmarkssure, but the client (known to work08:25
vmarks)08:25
vmarksdoesn't even get a dhcp address08:26
vmarksyet dhcp is running.08:26
bluefrog-10get rid of the leases08:26
vmarks/usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -q -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid -cf /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf08:26
vmarksstopping and restarting dhcpd hasn't helped.08:26
neurogeekvmarks, check your dhcp.conf file.. make sure everything is alright there08:27
vmarkslooks correct.08:27
bluefrog-10don't have anything in the server log about dhcp?08:27
neurogeekcheck logs as bluefrog-10 suggests08:28
vmarksbah humbug.08:28
vmarksso much for placing this in the science lab this week.08:28
vmarksokay, the very bottom of the syslog says no free leases on DHCPDISCOVER.08:31
vmarksso, how to unlease those?08:31
bluefrog-10as for tftp, I assume that ltsp files are /var/lib/tftpboot/ (or something similar) and not in /tftpboot/lts. If this is the case delete the all dir /tftpboot/lts08:31
vmarksand, what setting to change in order to prevent this in the future?08:31
bluefrog-10rm dhcpd.leases08:31
bluefrog-10in dhcp.conf try to lower the lease release08:32
bluefrog-10after erasing dhcpd.leases you might have to restart dhcpd08:32
vmarksdhcp.conf or dhcpd.conf?08:33
bluefrog-10the one used by edubuntu, hang on having a look08:33
bluefrog-10must be /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf08:34
vmarksI see no mention of leases, only the range.08:34
bluefrog-10add some08:35
vmarks192.168.0.20 192.168.0.25008:35
bluefrog-10default-lease-time 600;08:35
bluefrog-10max-lease-time 7200;08:35
bluefrog-10and see what it does with that08:35
bluefrog-10if still not good, lower them08:35
=== Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu
vmarksthose belong inside the { } with all the other options?08:37
vmarksand they don't need to be prefaced by the word 'options' ?08:37
bluefrog-10add them at the beginning of the file08:42
bluefrog-10underneath authoritative;08:42
vmarksinside or outside the { }?08:44
bluefrog-10outside just underneath authoritative;08:44
bluefrog-10and don't forget to erase  the .leases file08:45
=== mp1 [n=mpt@209.104.102.193] has joined #edubuntu
vmarksthank you08:52
vmarksit's working better now since the leases have been deleted.08:52
bluefrog-10sur08:52
vmarkshopefully adding those lines will help too08:52
vmarkswhat could be wrong that some old clients using etherboot wouldn't like the pxelinux.0?08:53
bluefrog-10if your clients are booting very often you may have to lower the release time08:53
bluefrog-10not sure if the pxelinux.0 is the file needed to boot ehterboot client08:54
bluefrog-10in my mind shouold be more a vmlinuz file but I don't know how ogra made his stuff regarding that08:55
bluefrog-10ogra's the man for you on that one I think 08:56
vmarksthank you08:56
bluefrog-10u're welcome08:56
vmarksthat's one step I have to have in place- there are various compaqs and dells in the science lab all with etherboot on them08:57
vmarksI'd like to reuse them since they've booted k12ltsp in the past without issue08:57
=== Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu
vmarkson ancient fedore core108:58
vmarks(shudder)08:58
bluefrog-10hang on got something for you08:58
bluefrog-10http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/BootingClientsWithoutPxe08:59
vmarksI wonder if there's a way to have both working, pxe and non?08:59
bluefrog-10sure no problem08:59
bluefrog-10after a quick look at the link i sent u, it seems that both are using same pxelinux.0 file09:01
bluefrog-10certainly because of the PXELOADER_KEEP_ALL option used to generate the boot floppy09:03
bluefrog-10as for K12 i think u're out of luck09:03
bluefrog-10cause K12 is keeping 2 different files. one for pxe the other one for etherboot09:04
bluefrog-10I think...09:04
bluefrog-10well apparently there is a vmlinuz file in /var/lib/tftpboot09:06
bluefrog-10so i guess you should try your K12 floppies09:06
bluefrog-10you will have to add some stuff in your dhcpd.conf though09:06
bluefrog-10still with me vmarks ?09:08
