| lns | Hey everyone! | 12:42 |
|---|---|---|
| lns | Can anyone give me some starter troubleshooting steps to see why a PXE booting client isn't getting past the TFTP boot line (after it acquires a DHCP addy)? | 12:47 |
| lns | I've verified TFTP server is working from the same workstation booted into windows | 12:47 |
| lns | (This is Ubuntu/muecow btw, not edubuntu) | 12:48 |
| lns | (used instructions at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Edgy/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntu) | 12:48 |
| lns | am also using Windows NT4 DHCP server (no service pack I believe)...I actually think this is the problem...it's probably not passing the arguments correctly, as some web sites say the DHCP implementations are badly broken before SP3 | 01:01 |
| lns | ugh | 01:01 |
| lns | I hate windows | 01:01 |
| cliebow_ | lns:so you have options 17 66 and 67 set in windows? | 01:04 |
| lns | cliebow_, yep | 01:04 |
| lns | 017 = /opt/ltsp/i386 | 01:05 |
| lns | 066 = ubuntultspserveripaddress | 01:05 |
| lns | 067 = ltsp/pxelinux.0 | 01:05 |
| cliebow_ | and netstat -anp|grep ":69" shows xinetd listening | 01:05 |
| lns | udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:* 4930/inetd | 01:06 |
| cliebow_ | so check that /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.o exists | 01:06 |
| lns | k | 01:06 |
| cliebow_ | or is it one level down in i286 | 01:06 |
| cliebow_ | heh i386 | 01:06 |
| lns | it is in i386 | 01:07 |
| lns | ...hmmmmmm | 01:07 |
| lns | hehe | 01:07 |
| cliebow_ | cool..so alter | 01:07 |
| lns | can i create a symlink? | 01:07 |
| cliebow_ | err..probably | 01:07 |
| lns | maybe safer to alter dhcp conf? | 01:07 |
| lns | i'll try dhcp conf firsty | 01:08 |
| cliebow_ | well//option 67 | 01:08 |
| lns | first* | 01:08 |
| lns | yeah | 01:08 |
| cliebow_ | the early versions were as you have it..later versions went to i486 | 01:08 |
| cliebow_ | cripes! | 01:09 |
| cliebow_ | time to turn on the lights | 01:09 |
| lns | hahaha | 01:09 |
| lns | that's funny..in this server room the lights keep turning off every 30 seconds if i'm sitting down | 01:09 |
| cliebow_ | figures 8~) | 01:09 |
| lns | =p | 01:09 |
| lns | hold on | 01:10 |
| lns | thx btw | 01:10 |
| cliebow_ | hanging | 01:10 |
| cliebow_ | btw: i m bootign "some ppc clients via windows..and all my netvistas | 01:10 |

| lns | still not working.... "PXE-E32 PXE Open Timeout" | 01:12 |
| lns | after it obtains a valid IP via DHCP | 01:12 |
| lns | err... TFTP Open Timeout | 01:13 |
| lns | sorry | 01:13 |
| cliebow_ | dang:btw:watch out for root-path..windows pads it with 000 | 01:13 |
| lns | really | 01:14 |
| lns | is there a workaround? | 01:14 |
| lns | this is NT4 (no servicepack applied i believe) | 01:14 |
| lns | ugh | 01:14 |
| cliebow_ | yeah..simlink /opt/ltsp/i386 to /opt/ltsdp/i386000 | 01:14 |
| cliebow_ | more or less | 01:15 |
| lns | reeeeaaaally...hahaha... ok hold please ;) | 01:15 |
| cliebow_ | wont solve your problem | 01:15 |
| cliebow_ | but.. | 01:15 |
| lns | oh | 01:15 |
| cliebow_ | guess you'll have to run wireshark on the linux server see what is going on | 01:16 |
| lns | oh weird | 01:20 |
| lns | ok | 01:20 |
| lns | on another (similar but newer model) machine (compaq ipaq) it's actually giving me a "Only absolute filenames allowed" during tftp..so it *is* hitting the server at least | 01:20 |
| lns | gimme a sec | 01:20 |

| lns | WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! | 01:34 |
| lns | =) | 01:34 |
| lns | must be a bug in the older ipaq's PXE version | 01:34 |
| lns | cuz all the newer ones are booting right in! | 01:34 |
| === caravena [n=caravena@51-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| lns | *dance of joy* | 01:35 |
| cliebow_ | lns:YEAHHH..i have a few caunkus pxe cards too.. | 01:38 |
| cliebow_ | so you get a login? | 01:38 |
| cliebow_ | the root-path WAS padded? | 01:40 |
| lns | yep | 01:41 |
| lns | not sure if that was what did it or not (padding) | 01:41 |
| lns | the old clients are still hanging at tftp | 01:42 |
| lns | but the newer ones are booting up...although in 75Hz monitor mode instead of 60 | 01:42 |
| lns | it auto adjusts to 60 if i ctl+alt+f1 then f7 | 01:42 |
| lns | kinda weird | 01:43 |
| cliebow_ | they are two different operations..first dhcp gets filename...second dhcvp gets filename | 01:43 |
| cliebow_ | gets toor-path i mean | 01:44 |
| lns | root? | 01:44 |
| cliebow_ | cripes1 | 01:44 |
| lns | lol | 01:44 |
| lns | lights man lights! =p | 01:44 |
| cliebow_ | gets root-path i mean | 01:44 |
| lns | yeah | 01:44 |
| lns | well the older ipaqs aren't getting past initial tftp | 01:44 |
| lns | they DO get a valid dhcp ip though | 01:44 |
| lns | i'm guessing i'll have to upgrade the BIOS | 01:45 |
| lns | in each of the old ones | 01:45 |
| lns | if possible... | 01:45 |
| cliebow_ | well you are on a rol.l now..good luck | 01:45 |
| lns | thanks so much cliebow_ !! | 01:45 |
| lns | i love this irc room | 01:45 |
| lns | channel...argh | 01:45 |
| lns | haha | 01:45 |
| cliebow_ | i hang on #ltsp as well.. | 01:47 |
| cliebow_ | my pleasure! | 01:47 |
| lns | i'm sure i will be, more and more | 01:47 |
| lns | hopefully this 'pilot' at an elementary school is gonna go district wide | 01:47 |
| lns | getting the clients to boot right now is a HUGE step forward | 01:47 |
| cliebow_ | lots of the original devs are in #ltsp..i stand on shoulders of giants | 01:47 |
| cliebow_ | i am also in schools..twelve.. | 01:48 |
| lns | the IT administrator of the district is pitting Ubuntu LTSP against Windows Terminal services at another school and seeing how they compare | 01:48 |
| lns | wow nice! | 01:48 |
| lns | how's the admin/support for 12 schools? | 01:48 |
| lns | i'm only at one other place right now, an after-school place | 01:48 |
| cliebow_ | ltsp will blow tws away as far as bandwidth is concerned\ | 01:48 |
| lns | good. | 01:49 |
| cliebow_ | i do most remotley with nx | 01:49 |
| lns | That's what I told him today too, NX would be great for remote access by kids from home | 01:49 |
| cliebow_ | yes..that too.. | 01:49 |
| lns | though i read somewhere online today that ltsp/ssh compares well in bandwidth with nx...? | 01:49 |
| cliebow_ | i have not tried it in bulk so dont know how server looad will be affected | 01:49 |
| lns | cool | 01:50 |
| lns | ok off to check some stuff | 01:50 |
| cliebow_ | lns: keep in back of your head..alternate dhcp for clients with etherboot | 01:50 |
| lns | have you seen lots of older clients with etherboot only? | 01:51 |
| cliebow_ | only started using pxe last week | 01:51 |
| cliebow_ | etherboot rocks | 01:51 |
| cliebow_ | effortless double-bot | 01:51 |
| cliebow_ | effortless double-boot | 01:52 |
| lns | really | 01:52 |
| lns | i only have exp. with pxe | 01:52 |
| lns | seems meukow/ltsp is made primarily for pxe | 01:52 |
| lns | havent tried etherboot | 01:52 |
| cliebow_ | oh yeah..most all of my stuff is dunpster-diving stuff | 01:53 |
| cliebow_ | with alternate dhcp..you can jump right in the middle of a windows network and never touch windows dhcp | 01:54 |
| lns | nice | 01:59 |
| lns | =)_ | 01:59 |
| lns | alright i'm out for the day! thanks!! | 02:02 |

| a5benwillis | Hello? | 04:29 |
| a5benwillis | This is my first time here and I have a question about EduBuntu in an Education environment | 04:29 |
| cbx33 | go for it a5benwillis | 04:30 |
| cbx33 | blinky_ghost, what's up | 04:30 |
| a5benwillis | Has anyone been able to use Edubuntu with NCP authentication against a Netware Server using the pam_ncp_auth.so module? | 04:30 |
| cbx33 | a5benwillis, not me | 04:30 |
| a5benwillis | I can authenticate my gdm sessions locally against NDS but the SSH side which is required for the thin client refuses to work. | 04:31 |
| blinky_ghost | cbx3, bootsplash doesn't work with ltsp clients | 04:32 |
| a5benwillis | I've searched the web for weeks but can find nor info on this with Edubuntu. It seems to work well with other LTSP systems though. | 04:33 |
| a5benwillis | I guess that Edubuntu is the only one to use ecryped/authenticates ssh sessions for thin clients. | 04:34 |
| a5benwillis | Since I am new here. What time is typically the busiest here? Should I ask my question again later in the day? | 04:39 |

| sbalneav | a5benwillis: Hmm, maybe something with the pam stuff for ssh, let me look. | 04:46 |
| sbalneav | blinky_ghost: um, I think you can just: | 04:46 |
| sbalneav | chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 | 04:46 |
| sbalneav | mount -t proc proc /proc | 04:46 |
| sbalneav | apt-get install edubuntu-artwork-usplash | 04:47 |
| sbalneav | then exit | 04:47 |
| sbalneav | and ltsp-update-kernels | 04:47 |
| blinky_ghost | ok, i'm gonna try | 04:47 |
| blinky_ghost | thanks | 04:47 |
| a5benwillis | sbalneav: Thanks, would you like to know what Ive tried with the pam.d/ssh file? | 04:51 |
| blinky_ghost | sbalneav, it's saying now that i'm out of range. i've changed the default to vga=791 and nothing | 04:51 |
| a5benwillis | sbalneav: I've placed this lineat the top of pam.d/ssh; "auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ncp_auth.so -d -a -u10000,50000,f,c ndsserver=10.10.50.1:a5do.adm.acsd5 -a -L -zATX -A | 04:52 |
| a5benwillis | " | 04:52 |
| blinky_ghost | sbalneav, now it's working with vga=788 :) | 04:53 |
| blinky_ghost | thanks | 04:53 |
| sbalneav | np | 04:53 |
| a5benwillis | When attempting to SSH I get a password prompt, which fails. I then look in the /var/log/auth.log fileand I see where authentication was attempted but fails on the password. | 04:53 |
| sbalneav | a5benwillis: never actually used the ncp authentication. Can you just ssh into the box as a user? | 04:53 |
| sbalneav | i.e. ssh localhost? | 04:53 |
| a5benwillis | yes, local user authentication works fine. | 04:54 |
| a5benwillis | I can even ssh in remotly as a local user | 04:54 |
| sbalneav | but if you ssh in as a ncp user it fails. | 04:54 |
| a5benwillis | But, with NCPand remote authentication. The pam_ncp_auth.so file authenticates and creates the user on the server at the same time. | 04:55 |
| a5benwillis | yes | 04:55 |
| a5benwillis | This authentication and account creation works fine with a local x session login. | 04:55 |
| a5benwillis | But with Edubunutu's ssh'd xsession I cant log in to a thin client obviously. | 04:56 |
| a5benwillis | Because the initial ssh connection fails first. | 04:57 |
| a5benwillis | . | 04:57 |
| a5benwillis | I realize that this isnt a simple problem. I havebeen unable to find help anywhere. I had hoped that another engineer in the education field would be in there at some point. | 04:58 |
| sbalneav | Well, I'm familiar with LDAP authentication, but I've never used the ncp auth module. Does the module have a debug option that you can crank up debugging, and see what it thinks it's doing? I know the ldap auth module has one. | 04:59 |
| sbalneav | Barring that, tcpdump's always an option. | 04:59 |
| a5benwillis | yes, I use the -d option and it logs to /var/log/auth.log | 04:59 |
| sbalneav | What does it say in there? | 04:59 |
| sbalneav | other than "failed" | 05:00 |
| a5benwillis | gonna try to paste | 05:01 |

| a5benwillis | sbalneav: Thanks for trying, Im gonna camp out here today and see how many people I can ask :-) | 05:14 |
| sbalneav | the ruser= line is interesting | 05:15 |
| sbalneav | sorry, got called away | 05:15 |
| sbalneav | I'd expect the ruser= to be the user attempting to auth. | 05:15 |
| a5benwillis | no problem, thanks again for trying | 05:16 |
| sbalneav | the fact that it's empty seems wierd. | 05:16 |
| a5benwillis | I think I can explain that | 05:16 |
| a5benwillis | the first authentication attempt is madevia pam_unix. The account doesn not exist so it can;t retrieve the attributes. | 05:17 |
| a5benwillis | the second (stacked) authentication attempt happens with pam_ncp_auth | 05:17 |
| a5benwillis | . | 05:19 |
| a5benwillis | theubuntu chan is to busy to even ask a serious questionin.... | 05:19 |
| sbalneav | Hmm | 05:22 |
| sbalneav | a5benwillis: Maybe you need to append a "try_first_pass" onto the ncp module. | 05:24 |
| sbalneav | just about any pam module should support that. | 05:24 |
| a5benwillis | i'll try it | 05:24 |
| a5benwillis | brb | 05:24 |
| a5benwillis | isnt it use_first_pass | 05:26 |
| a5benwillis | its ignored by this module. | 05:26 |
| a5benwillis | per docs | 05:26 |
| sbalneav | Well, there's try_ and use_ | 05:27 |
| a5benwillis | does it go after the module on the auth line? | 05:27 |

| cbx33 | a5benwillis, ajmitch or ogra maybe able to help you | 10:39 |
| a5benwillis | Can anyone point me towards someone with experience in this area? Specifically authenticatino with Novell Netware | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | but ogra isn't here right now | 10:39 |
| a5benwillis | cbx33: Hello again, tired of hearing from me yet? :-) | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | hehe | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | never ;) | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | trying to help you | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | but as I know NOTHING about it | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | I'm buck passing | 10:39 |
| a5benwillis | I know this has to be able to be done. Netware is still used heavily in education and Im sure that theres a need for this | 10:40 |
| a5benwillis | I have about 6000 workstations, all of which log into Netware NDS. | 10:40 |
| cbx33 | wow | 10:41 |
| a5benwillis | Plus 16k users that I need to authenticate when loggin into this clients | 10:41 |
| cbx33 | i can see why you're persistent in asking this quewastion now ;) | 10:41 |
| a5benwillis | Yeah, I've been working on this for a few weeks. I cant find any help on this online. Only in general LTSP software. Not for Edubuntu | 10:42 |
| cbx33 | well Edubuntu uses general LTSP | 10:42 |
| a5benwillis | I guess Edubuntu's the only one that uses the SSH session back to the LTSP server. | 10:42 |
| === edistar [n=edwinloc@ip503ddd09.speed.planet.nl] has left #edubuntu [] | ||
| cbx33 | i thought that's how LTSP working in general | 10:42 |
| a5benwillis | I can get the authentication to work fine at the servers login but not the SSH sessions from the thin clients. | 10:43 |
| a5benwillis | maybe... | 10:43 |
| cbx33 | well | 10:43 |
| a5benwillis | I have seen several how-tos for this but none mention the SSH issue | 10:43 |
| cbx33 | the ssh.....shouoldn't need to authenticate against anything else other than the edubuntu server | 10:43 |
| a5benwillis | right. | 10:43 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:43 |
| cbx33 | hey guys | 10:43 |
| a5benwillis | But since the logging in user doesnt exist on the server it cant authenticate. | 10:43 |
| cbx33 | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuArtwork/Palette | 10:43 |
| cbx33 | the ssh authentication should be transparent | 10:44 |
| cbx33 | practically | 10:44 |
| a5benwillis | THAT is awesome~ | 10:44 |
| a5benwillis | I have to get this pilot off of the ground so my student can see artwork like that. | 10:44 |
| cbx33 | my wife did those ;) | 10:45 |
| a5benwillis | doesnt the SSH session use the credentials of the user loggin in? | 10:45 |
| cbx33 | i don't think so... sbalneav ? | 10:47 |
| ajmitch | cbx33: hm, what am I supposed to be able to help with? | 10:47 |
| cbx33 | hehe network authentication | 10:47 |
| ajmitch | I see it's netware | 10:48 |
| ajmitch | which I haven't had experience with | 10:48 |
| a5benwillis | ok, maybe its more simple then | 10:48 |
| a5benwillis | cause I can get the authentication to work with GDM | 10:48 |
| a5benwillis | can anyone confirm how the SSH session from the thin client works? | 10:49 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:49 |
| a5benwillis | also, when the login box is displayed on the thin client. Where is the authentication for that controlled? | 10:49 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:49 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:49 |
| a5benwillis | so amny questions :-D | 10:49 |
| === ajmitch wishes he know the edubuntu/ltsp mix better | ||
| a5benwillis | any links to documentation on the process? | 10:51 |
| a5benwillis | well, I'll hang out here for a bit. If any other gurus pop in please let me know!!! | 10:52 |
| a5benwillis | To bad developers don't visit these chans | 10:53 |
