are-12ah ... acording to the wiki (i'f i'm reading it right) i want to boot dapper live and select WORKSTATION, otherwise i boot into a (USELESS) thin client04:25
=== mhz_backIn10min is now known as mhz
are-12not entirely intuitive, but makes sense04:26
bimberiare-12: ah, kk (did see your Q earlier but couldn't help)04:27
are-12aretwelve is at my office and i'm home now as are-1204:28
are-12so i'll have 16 hours of chat to scroll through when i get to werk04:28
are-12BUT ... the basic problem is, i boot up (defaults into live dapper flight 6, then x loads and i'm challenged for a user / pass  ... and no matter what ... nothing logs me on   ... as there's not thin client server on my netwerk04:30
are-12so i suppose i need to tell it to boot workstation style04:31
are-12is that "linux workstation"  or just "workstation" ???04:32
are-12(actually, i'm reading the install notes for 5.10 )   is 6.4(6?) more or less the same?04:33
bimberiare-12: sorry, i don't have the edubuntu livecd so I can't tell you.  I'd try "workstation" first.  Did you try "ubuntu" (or "edubuntu") with no password04:33
are-12yup ... same old "you need to check your capitalization" error04:34
bimberikk04:34
are-12tried    demo / demo  and  admin / admin and ubuntu / ubuntu and ubuntu / <CR> and about 20 other combinations .... the problem is i'm not in a "desktop environment"  it's playing "thjin client"  (SURE MIGHT BE GOOD TO USE SOME OF THAT SCREEN REALESTATE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS)04:36

highvoltageJaneW: i want some of your medication08:46

JaneWand spent like 5 minutes convincing me that it would get used by an appropriate person, or they'd return it if they don't need it etc08:47
JaneWI had to eventually tell her 'It is FREE. Take it, keep it!'08:47

ograthedarkener, can you log in on the server dirctly with the user ? 06:39
thedarkeneri haven't tried, i just got a call this morning of this..i just installed another server here in my lab though i'll try it06:39

lucasvothedarkener: yes06:44
thedarkenerlucasvo, maybe we can help - can you describe what you're having problems with?06:45
lucasvoyup06:45
lucasvohow do I have to configure the network interface used for ltsp?06:45
lucasvoshouldnt sudo ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.0.1 be enough?06:46
lucasvothedarkener: or do I need to do sth. else?06:46
thedarkenerlucasvo, the edubuntu setup should bring the adapter up by itself06:47
thedarkenerif you need to do it manually, yes 'ifup eth0' would work (provided you set up networking correctly during install)06:47
lucasvothedarkener: I didnt set up the second interfafce during install06:49
thedarkenerlucasvo, which interface is connected to the ltsp network? eth0 or eth1?06:50
lucasvoeth006:50
lucasvoeth2 is connnected to internet06:50
thedarkeneryou mean eth1?06:50
thedarkenereth2 would be a third interface06:51
lucasvoyes it is06:52
lucasvoI have 3 interfaces06:53
lucasvoon the server I do:  ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.1.106:54
thedarkenerlucasvo, if you do 'ifconfig eth0 up' command you have to manually enter much information about your network for it to route properly, etc.06:55
lucasvothedarkener: so how should I do it ?06:56
thedarkenerWhat I would do if I were you is edit your /etc/network/interfaces file and enter your settings for all network adapters you didn't configure during setup06:56
thedarkenerthat way you can simply type 'ifup ethX' when you need to bring up/down interfaces manually06:56
lucasvothedarkener: can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces06:57
lucasvo?06:57
thedarkenerI can, but just keep in mind your IP settings will be different06:58
thedarkeneriface eth0 inet static06:58
thedarkeneraddress 192.168.3.5006:58
thedarkenernetmask 255.255.255.006:58
thedarkenernetwork 192.168.3.006:58
thedarkenergateway 192.168.3.106:58
thedarkeneruse the keywords only, don't copy the IP settings06:59
thedarkeneralso put 'auto lo eth0' in there above it06:59
thedarkenerso whenever you boot the machine it will bring up the interface(s) automatically06:59
thedarkenerrepeat those settings (with different ip settings of course) for each interface on your server07:02
thedarkenerlucasvo, what is the third interface for?07:02
thedarkenerdmz?07:02
lucasvoyes, but I dont need it atm07:03
lucasvowhat do I have to set in the gateway field?07:03
=== LaserJock_away is now known as LaserJock
thedarkeneri believe you'd put the IP address of the same interface07:05
thedarkenersince it's going through itself07:05
lucasvookay, now it says Failed to bring up eth007:06
lucasvoSIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable07:06
thedarkenerlucasvo, what is the IP network of eth0 for you?07:07
thedarkener192.168.X.007:07
lucasvo107:07
thedarkenerok07:08
thedarkenerverify everything in /etc/network/interfaces to make sure that it's correct for your 'iface eth0 inet static' stanza07:08
thedarkenerand that there's no duplicates07:08
thedarkenercan you paste it?07:09
lucasvohttp://pastebin.com/65383707:09
lucasvoI pasted no the same07:10
lucasvoI mean the whole file under the same url07:10
thedarkenerok07:11
thedarkeneryour gateway needs to be .1.107:11
thedarkenernot .1.007:11
lucasvooh07:12
thedarkener.1.0 is called the 'network address'07:12
lucasvobut it is definately not 192.168.1.107:14
lucasvobecause this breaks my whole network config07:14
thedarkenerhrm...hold on07:15
thedarkenerok try putting the gateway as the internet connected interface07:18
thedarkenerthe internal routing should take care of finding it07:18
thedarkeneri think.. =)07:18
lucasvook, this works07:20
thedarkenerawesome07:20
thedarkenerogra, do you have any guesses on the user login issue i'm having?07:20
lucasvobut, when I do dhclient eth0 on a client, it doesnt get anything07:21
thedarkenerwell that's a whole different thing there07:22
thedarkeneryou need to make sure all your dhcpd settings are correct07:22
thedarkenerand that the daemon is running07:22
thedarkenersince you're changing the network config, you need to change the ip settings in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to reflect it07:23
lucasvoit is running07:23
ograthedarkener, did you check that the user can log in on the server ?07:23
lucasvothe dhcpserver is configured correctly07:24
thedarkenerthen do an /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart, see if that helps07:24
thedarkenerogra, sorry no :( was just wondering07:24
lucasvoI already did that07:25
=== highvoltage [n=Jono@196.207.41.251] has joined #edubuntu
ograthedarkener, first make sure the users are set up correctly, if thats the case lets dig deeper :)07:26
lucasvoeven if I configure static IP address it doesnt work07:26
thedarkenerok thanks ogra :)07:26
thedarkenerlucasvo, on the client are you trying to boot via ltsp?07:26
lucasvono, it is a livecd07:27
thedarkenerare you able to ping the server from the client when you statically assign ip settings?07:28
lucasvono07:29
thedarkenercheck your network cable/switch07:30
thedarkenerif you're sure all your ip settings are correct on the server and client and both server and client interfaces are up and running, there's nothing else it could be (besides a firewall?)07:31
lucasvono07:37
=== HedgeMage [i=me@freenode/staff/HedgeMage] has joined #edubuntu
thedarkenerare you sure the correct adapter is connected to your switch/hub, and not one of the others that aren't up?07:41
lucasvoif I put it into the other interface. it doesnt even come up07:42
thedarkenerif you're statically assigning the IP address on eth0, it will come up even if it's not connected to the switch/hub07:44
lucasvoit takes more than 30s07:49
lucasvoand then it exits07:51
lucasvowithout configuring the interface07:51
thedarkenersounds like it's still trying dhcp07:53
lucasvono07:54
lucasvothen there would be output, wouldn't it/07:54
thedarkenerthere should be07:54
thedarkeneri've seen the situation before though07:54
thedarkenerwhere even if you apt-get remove dhcpd, there is still a rogue process running07:55
thedarkenermake sure no dhcpd processes are running07:55
lucasvoI don't think it is a problem ofdhcp07:57
thedarkenerwell i'm stumped then, i'm not sure what else it would be if everything we talked about was correct07:58
lucasvothedarkener: thanks a lot08:03
lucasvoI have to work on that thing later08:03
thedarkenerno problem lucasvo i hope you get it figured out08:05
