SiCkdoes anyone have any ideas on why my thin-clients after a successful boot, when restarted get a dhcp address, but get a problem leaving me at a b asic shell, then another restart after that, the dhcp3-server doesnt give an address at all, even though it's told to be static through MAC address...01:07
ograSiCk, msells like you have a second dhcp server in the net somewhere01:08
SiCknope, they're connected to each other through crossover so that doesnt happen01:08

ograi havent seen or heard of such a thing yet01:09
SiCkis it worth an upgrade to feisty? , does it have updated dhcp or anything?01:10
SiCkthe other thing after the problems with the thin clients have occured, running /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart takes forever01:10
rockprincessjsgotangco: ahhhh shit, i just realized i can't test the dvd, because i still haven't got a dvd-rom drive01:10

kmystHi, anybody know much about booting thin clients and dhcpd.conf?05:03
ograjust ask your question :)05:04
kmystok basically I can't use pxlinux.0 and go that route, so the filename directive in dhcpd.conf is the bzImage for the clients...however i need to append root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp and I am at a loss on how to accomplis that05:06
ogranothing of that should be needed with 2.6 kernels anymore05:07
ograhow do you boot if not via PXE ? etherboot with floppy ? or etherboot with bootrom of the card05:08

kmystHi, anybody know how to boot thin clients without using pxelinux?  I can't figure out how to append kernel options in dhcpd.conf05:54
`mitch`hello guys, do edubuntu have support for a "computer science" classes? like having a C++, asm, java ide and anything more?05:55

ograere, install the normal edubuntu server, install ubuntu-desktop in the ltsp chroot, set up network authentication and pam home mounting in the client and you are done ...09:18
ograoh and indeed you need to have the network auth stuff running on the server as well09:19
ograBurgwork, what would he gain by installing in workstation mode ? he would need to set up ltsp manually then ...09:19
Burgworkogra: he wasked about them09:20
ograno he asked about thick clients :)09:20
Burgworkright09:20
ograwhich is an ltsp term09:21
Burgworkwhich I wasn't certain if that code was production ready yet09:21
ograit isnt09:21
Burgworkright09:21
ograbecause we have no way t automatically set up network auth yet09:21
Burgworkah09:21
Burgworkbut the rest is?09:21
ograbut apart from that it was always ready :)09:21
ograyou could *do* that since breezy09:21
Burgworkwell, we can chat about network stuff in sevilla09:22
ograit just needs beefy clients ... but its a charm to only maintain an iamge ...09:22
BurgworkI and ajmitch will be there09:22
ograyeah09:22
Burgworkor, we can kick ajmitch's ass to get it working :)09:23
ograimagine to have one "golden workstation" for a 1000 computer setup ... it mounts the client image in rw mode and every change you make to it will immediately be available to everyone09:23
ograbtw, this kind of setup puts nearly no load on the server09:23
ograyou *can* actually run 1000 clients with a standard $699 server09:23
ograbut your clients will be as expensive :)09:24
ograi really look forward to having network auth ready i'm eager to implement it like above09:24
ogra(since breezy already)09:25
=== pygi also think we should get iscsi libburn support =)
ograits the thing that redhat never managed to finish ... (stateless linux)09:25

ere_tovella: you may want a half thick solution where /usr/ and other filesystems are mounted on the clients from a filesystem on a server10:10
ograthat wont solve the sound output :)10:10
ogratovella, which release ?10:10
tovellaogra: feisty10:12
ograhmm ... that should work out of the box, strange ...10:13
ograwhen did you install it ? in early development pulseaudio and pulseaudio-esound-compat was installed on the server which is wrong ...10:15
ogramight be that they are hogging something10:15
tovellaogra: let me go check the CD... it might have been from herd5.10:16
ograno, just check if you have pulseaudio running :)10:16
ograit should only run on the client ...10:16
tovella...yeah, the CD i have is herd5.  it appears that pulse is only running on the client.10:19
ograhmmkay10:19
ograi know it worked when i tested it with a flash site with sound ... but thats some weeks ago ...10:21
ograi have to test some isos anyway the next 48h ... i'll check again what might be wrong there ...10:21
ograsorry but i cant come up with an immediate solution atm ...10:22
ograi assume you use the ubuntu flashplugin package ?10:22
tovellathe flashplugin-nonfree (with ubuntu-restricted-extras).10:23
ograok10:24
tovellaok.  i'll keep doing my updates and try again in a few days.10:24
tovellathanks.10:24

ograi'll dig there then ... thanks for the pointer, i'll try to get it fixed before release10:24
