Em`ZeeI'm getting errors with ltsp-build-client...03:49

sbalneavEm`Zee: What are you trying to build it on?03:59
sbalneavA i386 based machine?03:59
Em`Zeesbalneav; Yes.... that's bad, I take it.03:59
Kamping_Kaiserits unsupported ;)03:59
Em`ZeeD'oh.03:59
Em`ZeeIs there any way to boot Sparc/PPC off of an Edubuntu i386 LTSP server ?03:59
sbalneavSure04:00
Em`ZeeBasically I'm running a lab with ancient computers, SPARCstations, and pre-Intel Macs.04:00
sbalneavBut you'll need to build the chroots on Sparc/PPC machines respectively04:00
Kamping_Kaiser<3 sparcstations04:00
Em`Zeesbalneav; would I just take an edubuntu livecd and basically tar the tree?04:00
sbalneavThen tarball them up, and stick 'em in /opt/ltsp on the i38604:00
sbalneavEm`Zee: No, install edubuntu on a sparc, then do the ltsp-build-client on the sparc.04:01
Em`Zeegot it04:01
Em`ZeeNext (probably stupid) question...04:01
=== Kamping_Kaiser thinks debs to install a basic chroot would be cool (for just this purpose)
Em`ZeeDoes it matter, X binary-wise on multiplatform?04:01
sbalneavAt one point, we were talking about having pre-built chroots available for download and untar, don't know if that's been done yet.04:01
Em`ZeeIt runs all binaries on the central server, no exceptions, yes?04:01
sbalneavNo! That's one of the beauties of X04:02
sbalneavSparc client == PPC client == Intel client, for X04:02
Em`Zeewoo.04:02
Em`Zee:D04:02
Em`ZeeLTSP saved my life for adminning the lab. LTSP is <304:02
Em`ZeeAnyways04:02
Em`Zeewhen I do the chroots for Sparc and PPC I'll post them on my websie04:02
Em`Zee*website04:02
sbalneavYeah, when you run firefox on a sparc client, you're running the firefox on the i386 box, but the pretty bits display on the sparc.04:03
sbalneavThat's why I got involved in helping to develop LTSP 7 years ago: it's such an awsome paradigm04:03
Em`ZeeMy plans eventually include syncing authentication to an LDAP server04:04
Em`Zeeinstead of having root@heidi:~# ltsp-build-client --arch powerpc04:04
Em`ZeeERROR: --arch powerpc called on unsupported arch: i686,error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally04:04
Em`Zeewhoops04:04
Em`Zeehehe stupid clipboard04:04
Em`Zeeanyways, instead of making one account for each machine04:04
Em`Zee(we name our machines after [not my idea]  porn stars >.<)04:04
Kamping_KaiserLMAO04:04
Em`ZeeYeah so we have "Tawnee Stone", "Tori Stone", "Linda Lovelace", "Heidi Fleiss", "Aurora Snow" all on one wall04:07
Em`Zeethose are some of the LTSP machines04:07
Em`Zeethe windows ones are named after male porn stars04:07
Em`Zeethe Mac ones used to be Transvestites but then we decided to quit supporting mac in the lab04:07
=== Kamping_Kaiser giggle
racterso can i use the live cd to boot a machine in thinclient mode?04:08
racterthe bios on this machine doesn't seem to know about netboot04:08
Kamping_Kaiserracter, no, but iirc you can do boot floppies04:10
sbalneavracter: No, but you can go to rom-o-matic.net, and download a etherboot floppy image for your network card.04:10
racterit has to be floppy or is there a way i can use a CD?04:12
sbalneavThere's CD images there too.04:15
=== Em`Zee needs to find some tiny old HDs and put netboot images on them :\

ernierastaI have a question, how can I install programs on client (I am using edubuntu 7.04 as ltsp server, server is amd64, but clients i386)? I set up everything, and it is working, but I want to install x11vnc on client. Is there someone who want give me some advices?06:45
ernierastait is question about ltsp06:46
merriamernierasta: chroot to /opt/ltsp/i386/ or similar.06:47
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu
=== pipedream [n=pipedrea@musselcracker.aims.ac.za] has joined #edubuntu
merriamBut I've done that and I still couldn't make x11vnc work.06:47
ernierastamerriam: i know, but in chroot apt-get can not find x11vnc06:48
merriamYou need to change the sources...06:49
jgedeon_ernierasta: this will help  understand sources https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToCookEdubuntu/Chapters/LTSPManagement06:49
ernierastathank you, i have not much experiences with debian-based distros06:49
cliebowmerriam:i am usiong it alot in 4.2..not sure about 5...you get xlib error?06:51
merriamcliebow: I've been running edubuntu feisty beta with defaults.  I forget the details.  I've switched to ubuntu on that box for now because I couldn't log in on the server with edubuntu.06:53
merriamI'm not the only one, am I?  When I log in on the server I get serious errors and long waits, and the panel doesn't respond.  ltsp clients work nicely.06:56
cliebowgnome-settings-maNAGER?06:57
cliebowerror?06:57
cliebowanyway..you can read my x11vnc stuff for 4.2 if you like06:58
merriamI think so.  But it seems there are more serious problems.06:58
Em`Zeecliebow; Did you say you had a tarred chroot for ppc?06:59
cliebowi do07:01
cliebowhttp://169.244.3.137/ powerpc.feisty.tar.gz07:02
cliebowand  powerpckernel.feisty.tar.gz07:02

Em`Zeeyaboot?07:07
cliebowthe kernel loader for ppc07:07
cliebownot unlike pxe;linox.007:08
cliebowyeah it is n there..place yaboot and yaboot.conf in /var/lib/tftpboot and point to ya boot in dhcpd.conf07:09
Em`ZeeHow do you make the macs netboot anyways?07:11
