telexiconI am pretty sure I have dhcpd set up correctly but I can't get other machines on the same network to lease addresses... I think it has something to do with my switch any ideas?12:39

racterhi all - just installed edubuntu server on a test machine and it seems to have missed my second ethernet card during installation; is there some process to try autodetection again or reconfigure manually?02:54
=== kgoetz [n=kgoetz@ppp100-144.static.internode.on.net] has joined #edubuntu
jgedeonracter: did the install tell you that you would have to configure dhcp3.conf manually?03:04
jgedeonshould say dhcpd.conf03:05
racteryeah it did03:07
racter"there are no free interfaces for use with the ltsp server"03:07
racterbut now that i'm installed, ifconfig only sees the one card03:07
jgedeonHmm.03:07
racterthe card seems like it's functional (the light comes on when i plug it in).  but even if i swap it out i'll need to do something to reconfigure /etc/network/interfaces or whatever, right?03:08
jgedeonlspci | grep Ethernet only shows the one card?03:10
racteroh actually no it shows both of them03:10
racteri was just looking at ifconfig03:10
jgedeonWhat does ifconfig eth1 show?03:11
ractereth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found03:11
jgedeonthe lspci | grep Ethernet what does it show for the second missing card?03:12
jgedeonThey are both wired cards correct?03:12
racteryeah03:12
racter00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX (rev 10)03:13
racterthat's from lspci03:13
jgedeonOk let me look something up.03:13
racterthx03:14
jgedeonDo you have another card that you could drop in the computer?03:17
ractersure, i'll try that -- is there anything i need to run in order to reconfigure it?03:17
racterlike `dpkg-reconfigure networking` or something?03:17
jgedeonlets just see if we can get it up with one first once your up then we can do the configuration.03:18
racterok i'll brb03:18

jgedeonwb racter03:33
racterthx ;)03:33
racterthings are kind of in pieces here so i only have 01 terminal at the moment :)03:33
jgedeonI know the feeling.  LOL03:33
jgedeonis it showing both cards now?03:33
racterso i still get "device not found"03:33
racterand ifconfig only has one card03:34
racterbut i was wrong about which one was working before - it was the 'accton' one that i posted that's up as eth003:34
racterthe new card i put in is 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139'03:34
jgedeonSo what card is it not seeing then?03:34
jgedeonOnboard?03:34
racterno it's a card03:35
racterno onboard ethernet on this machine03:35
jgedeonOK.03:35
jgedeonso you have a realtek and what installed on the system?03:35
racterthey're both pci cards03:36
jgedeonAre they two realtek cards?03:36
ractereth0 which is up and connected to the internet is 'Accton technology corp' and the other is the realtek one03:36
jgedeonand its not seeing the realtek?03:37
jgedeonlspci | grep Ethernet03:37
racterlspci sees it but ifconfig doesn't and `ifconfig eth1` says 'device not found'03:37
jgedeonOk...03:37
racter`ifup eth1` gives 'unknown interface eth1=eth1'03:38
jgedeonYou can use etherconf to reconfigure it you want.  Youi may have to apt-get it.03:39
ractercool i'll check that out03:39
racterso what's your relation to the edubuntu project?03:40
jgedeonAfter you have it installed if you need to run it again you can use dpkg-reconfigure etherconf03:40
ractergot it03:40
jgedeonNo relation..  I just like the project and run one server here at home for the family and am putting some in the local school district here for testing.03:40
ractercool - do you work for the school district?03:41
jgedeonNot really work.  I sit on the districts tech committee and am now on the Board of Directors for the eschool that we are starting in September.03:41
jgedeonAre you using this at home or somewhere else.03:42
racteri run a community computer lab & we're trying to move to some kind of terminal server setup03:42
racterwe have been using xubuntu individually installed but want to be able to support even lower-end hardware and benefit from the administration tools in ltsp setups03:43
jgedeonOk.  If you have dhcp running elsewhere on the network you may run into issues.03:43
racteri have a dhcp server running on my router but the terminals will be plugged into a switch connected to the second card in the edubuntu server; right?03:44
=== ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu
jgedeonOk that is one way to do it.03:44
racteraha it's up now (as eth2)03:45
jgedeonLOL03:45
racterweird03:45
racteris there another way to do it?03:45
jgedeonThe system here at home I run with a single card and let the firewall do the dhcp and passing of information that is why I was asking.03:45
racterhuh - how is the internet connection integrated?03:46
jgedeonInternet is still passed through the network.03:47
jgedeonJust not running dhcp off the system..03:47
jgedeondid you get my PM?03:48
racterhm i guess i don't know how to work this irc client ;)03:49

jgedeonracter: keep me posted on how things are going.  Would be interested in hearing.04:14
jgedeonor reading.  LOL04:14
racterthx will do :)04:32
racterjgedeon: so you have ppc and i386 clients running side by side?04:51
jgedeonracter: not at this time.  I need to get the ltsp client build and then put it on my edubuntu server to host it to the clients.04:51
jgedeonRight now only hosting i386 clients.04:52
racterso if i build /opt/ltsp/ppc on a ppc machine and then put it in /opt/ltsp/ on my server which is i386, i can serve ppc clients?04:53
racter(our lab is 50/50 ppc and i386)04:53
kgoetzdont think so04:53
jgedeonaccording to the guess at ltsp basically that is all that has to be done.04:53
jgedeonThere is a little more too it but that is the basics.  Let me see if I can find it.04:54
jgedeonyou need to run ltsp-build-client on the correct architecture04:56
jgedeon if you want a ppc client, you need to run ltsp-build-client on a ppc server04:56
jgedeon then, once that's done, you can transfer the result to a x86 server04:56
jgedeonOnce done you will copy over /opt/ltsp/ppc/*04:57
cafuego_And you'll need yaboot entries in the tftpd server config05:01
jgedeoninstall PPC edubuntu on a PPC server, copy over the /opt/ltsp/ppc tree and kernel, and then trash the PPC install05:01
cafuego_and enable bootp on the dhcp server.05:01
jgedeonit is that easy - besides setting up dhcpd.conf05:02
cafuego_I've found it's a PITA to distinguish between PPC and x86 clients in dhcpd.conf05:02

racteroic05:10
ractergreat i'll try that out05:10
jgedeonracter: after you do the ppc build would you be willing to make it available some how so that it can be downloaded?05:10
racteryeah sure05:10
racteri'll bz it up and send you a link05:11
jgedeonmy email address is joe.gedeon@gmail.com then I can get to work on the school even more than then get the lab built and then show it and get them converted.05:11
jgedeonIt won't take much to get them converted right now at all and get them away from M$05:12
bimberiI though it was possible to do 'sudo ltsp-build-client --arch ppc'05:12
bimberito make the /opt/ltsp/ppc tree05:12
kgoetzbimberi: apparently only on ppc machines, just as you can only build i386 on x86 or x86_6405:12
jgedeonbimberi: I'm not sure.  I was just going off of what I found out from #ltsp and other sources off the internet.05:12
bimberik05:13
jgedeonHad to try it.  LOL05:14
jgedeonERROR: unsupported architecture. Check your --arch argument: ppc,       supported values are: i386 powerpc,error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally05:14

sbalneavogra: On specific edubuntu things, where's what I've found on my testing05:01
ograhoary isnt supported anymore05:01
sbalneavLTSP build chroot is ok05:01
ograok05:02
sbalneavSecond cd apps install fine05:02
ograi'm just doing th elast changes here ...05:02
sbalneavArtwork is great05:02
ogra(to ltsp)05:02
ograartwork was fixed today ...05:02
sbalneavWas it broken?05:02
ograso the menu logo is the right one and th emenu in gdm has icons05:02
mcsdso to walk in on the conv but are you guys talking about building a live cd?05:02
ograno05:03
ograwe're talking about our edubuntu feisty tests05:03
mcsdohhh I only ask because this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization05:03
ograand the last fixes before release05:03
sbalneavThe handbook link doesn't work, but you knew about that.  I notice under "System" menu there's both a "About Ubuntu" and "About Edubuntu".  Might we get around the problem in yelp by simply adding another menu item for "Edubuntu handbook"?05:04
ograyelp was uploaded today05:04
ograshould fix the handbook05:04
sbalneavah05:05
sbalneavok then.05:05

sbalneavYou're too flipping fast for me. :)05:05
ograabout edubuntu will get you to that05:05
ograwe'll keep about ubuntu this time ...05:05
sbalneavexcellent05:05
ograif people dont complain i'll keep it later as well, i dont think we need to hide it ...05:05
mcsdsorry...this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization says you have to use a Hoary build05:05
sbalneavOther than that, I think things are looking good.  I'm going to do a bit more work on the handbook this weekend, and do the ltsp testing as well.05:06
mcsdis there a more current one...am I going to run into problems using that tutorial?05:06
sbalneavDo you have a "checklist" wiki page that we can fill out like last time?05:06
ograi'll go over that handbook during the weekend and make sure to close some more ltsp LP bugs05:06
ograyes, there is one somewhere ... dont ask me where :)05:07
ograTesting/Current from the wiki should link to it i guess05:07

ograim just trying to imitate the old ltsp kernel by generating an initramfs with a fixed module list based on the kernel config ... lest see if that speeds up something05:09
ograi'm slightly worried about bug 9745605:09
ubotuMalone bug 97456 in ltsp "eBox 2300 boots VERY slow with Ubuntu/LTSP-5" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/9745605:09
ograwhat strikes me is that you compiled nfs into the kernel ...05:10
ograwhile we use a module from initramfs05:10
ograi wonder if the constant timeout probs are caused by that05:11
sbalneavI wouldn't think that there'd be much of a performance penalty between loading the module, versus statically compiled.05:12
sbalneavOther than the penalty of initially loading the module.05:12
ograright05:22
ograwhich might cause a delay that leads to a timeout05:23
ograif the initramfs defalting takes long on a slow cpu for example05:23
ogra*deflating05:23
ograsbalneav, well, according to the logs the ltsp kernel is a *lot* faster with its initramfs ...05:24
ogra(jammcq's logs on the bug i mean)05:25
ograeven though i blame the speedup jammcq sees mainly on the fact that the ubuntu kernel is compiled for 586 and the ltsp one for 48605:26
sbalneavHmmm05:26
sbalneavWonder what would happen if you compiled a custom kernel not -generic, but with -i386 specifiically.  Everything else the same.05:27
ograwe dont use -generic in ltsp05:27
ograthere was one herd build where i had to use -generic ... but apart from that we always used -i38605:28
sbalneavSo, THAT's not the issue then.05:29
ograoh, right i totally missed that jammcq used generic as base05:30
Laser_awayogra: as of yelp 2.18.0-0ubuntu3 you should be able to see the handbook in the yelp frontpage05:39
ograyeah, seb128 already told me and recived a big hug :)05:39

sbalneavWhat is it you need to know?09:44
BorealisphoenixI am alittl econfused on how to get it to work...I put the CD in and restarted and I got the menu09:45
BorealisphoenixWhen I Tryied the option of starting it started loading a couple files then gavce me a message about the computer being 32bit09:45
Borealisphoenix then stopped working09:45
BorealisphoenixI don't like to play around with programs that boot from CD's so I'd rather find out what I am doing wrong than mess everything up09:47
BorealisphoenixYOu there?09:48
=== Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #edubuntu
sbalneavWhat was the message exactly?09:54
BorealisphoenixGive me a moment I'll run over to other comp09:55
Borealisphoenixok powering on pooter09:57
BorealisphoenixO...K somethings up I can't start it...(notebook maybe needs power hooked up)09:58
BorealisphoenixSays "your CPU can not support long mode. (forgot from there to here) Something about getting a 32bit distrabution10:01
sbalneavWhich live cd did you download10:14
BorealisphoenixI looked at the ISO and it says it's edubuntu-6.10-live-i386.iso10:14
sbalneavSeems like it's the 64 bit version10:14

sbalneavHow far does it get in the boot?10:15
Borealisphoenixit brings up saper folder loading with "............................................." after it10:15
Borealisphoenixafter the second file address it goes black then posts the message10:16
sbalneavIt could be a bad burn of the cd10:17
Borealisphoenixthis is the web page I am at that I downloaded it from     http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/edubuntu/edgy/10:17
BorealisphoenixI used the program that the sight suggested10:18
sbalneavMaybe try re-burning it.10:18
BorealisphoenixSomething I should do to have it burn better?10:19
sbalneavDon't know.  What did you burn it with?10:19
BorealisphoenixInfrarecorder This is the sights suggestion for burning the ISO10:20
sbalneavNot familiar with it, so I don't know, but I'd try burning it again, at least.10:21
BorealisphoenixShould I increase the size of secondary buffer?10:23
sbalneavTry, maybe.10:26
sbalneavI haven't used windows since 1998, so I don't know much about that burning program :)10:27
Borealisphoenixhehe10:27
BorealisphoenixConcepts whould be the same in burning10:27
BorealisphoenixHardwares hardware10:27
BorealisphoenixI've looked on google and have founf alot of people having same error one had a CD he ordered10:31
