=== willvdl [i=will@conference/ubuntu-developer-summit/x-d47bcfe2cfd9f36d] has joined #edubuntu
sbalneavwhen, according to your map, eth0 should have a bcast of 192.168.1.25502:06
sbalneavas well, if you have the IP address of eth0 set to 192.168.1.0. that's simply not going to work.02:06

sbalneavnow, lets fix up your dhcp02:26
frustratedwithedok02:26
sbalneavshould be in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf02:26
sbalneavI'm willing to wager if you have a look at it, it's configured for 192.168.0.x02:27
frustratedwithedhere it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20330/02:27

sbalneavis it running?02:28
frustratedwithedyeah, my pxe clients don't have a problem with the dhcp, they seem to get an IP an all, but freeze while trying to boot02:28
sbalneavwell, lets try now, that we've got the network interface fixed up02:29
frustratedwithedyes, it is running I get a PID 524202:30
sbalneavNow, just before I go on, lets double check something.02:30

sbalneaveth0 is plugged into a separate switch or hub than the wireless router, right?02:30
sbalneavso you've got a wireless router, a server, and a switch/hup and a thin client.02:31
frustratedwithedyes, eth0 is plug to a switch separate from the router.  the router is plugged to eth102:31

sbalneavWe should also need to to a sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys as well, since we've changed the ip02:32
frustratedwithedok02:32
sbalneavyou should boot without it, but you won't be able to log in unless you do it.02:32
sbalneavafter you've done that, lets give booting a thin client a try.02:32
frustratedwithedwhat do you mean I should boot without it?02:33
sbalneavwell, do the update-sshkeys, it only takes a sec, then try booting02:33
frustratedwithedI did.02:34
frustratedwithedI then turned the thing client02:34
frustratedwithedthe splash window came up02:34
frustratedwithedafter a while the progress bar did not move02:35
frustratedwithedand I am back on the single blinking cursor02:35
sbalneavok02:35
cliebow_frustratedwithed, did you try to comment splash quiet out?02:36
sbalneavlets go to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg02:36
sbalneavedit the file "default"02:36
sbalneavremove the keyords "splash" and "quiet"02:36
frustratedwithedcliebow: no02:36
frustratedwithedok02:36
cliebow_oops..stepped on sbalneavs toes02:36
sbalneavthat will allow us to see what's going on when it boots.02:36
frustratedwithedok, I'll try to boot the thin client again02:38

frustratedwithedGuess what???02:41
sbalneavWhat?02:41
frustratedwithedIt now works!!!!02:41
sbalneavheh02:41
frustratedwithedyeeepeeeh!!!02:41
sbalneavmaybe the thin client doesn't like the bootplash02:42
frustratedwithedThank you very much!02:42
sbalneavok, keep a note of this.02:42
frustratedwithedMaybe it doesn't02:42
sbalneavif you ever run "ltsp-update-kernels" again, it's going to over write the pxeconfig file again02:42
frustratedwithedI guess I now have to install the drivers for the monitor, seems the graphics are terrible02:42
sbalneavwhat kind of machine is it?02:43
frustratedwithedIt's an old Fujitsu FMV, with 900Mhz CPU02:43
sbalneavAny idea what kind of graphics card in it?02:43
frustratedwithedThe model is a 6900Ml8c02:44
frustratedwithedIt is integrated in the board02:44
frustratedwithedI am sure I can find out02:44
frustratedwithedI got about 25 from the university because they were going to scrap them02:44
sbalneavyeah, it's probably defaulting to vesa, or something similarly ugly02:44
sbalneavso you might have to do some fiddling.02:44
sbalneavthe fact that bootsplash hung it was a good indication that it's an odd video chip :)02:45
frustratedwithedI have a lot of these, so I'll open one or run W2000 and see the specs02:45
sbalneavyeah, that might need a bit of tweaking.02:46

ograRichEd, i'm done, bring me the next one :)02:54

ograthat one was for BenC, right ?02:54
RichEdogra ... okay ... yes ...02:54
sbalneavRichEd: He was frustrated with Edubuntu.  I fixed him :)02:54

RichEdhappywithed: great ... we've got users we know of in China, Thailand, Philippines ... Japan would be a nice place to spread the Ubuntu word a bit more02:57
happywithedNew question, I tried to start a Firefox on the client and it would not let me because I had one on the server, now it won't let me start one on the server because I have one on the client02:57
happywithedhi KK02:57

happywithedI have to setup my users before monday02:58
sbalneavbest to create a few user accounts02:59
happywithedNew question: I just connected another PC on the thin client switch.  I tried to start it as a non-thin-client, stand alone edubuntu02:59
happywithedIt starts, but the network is not giving it access to the Internet? Is this a feature?03:00
RichEdogra: will come see you now in person03:00
ogragood :)03:01

happywithedDoes DHCP server only gives IP addresses to the LTSP clients?03:03
ogranope03:03
sbalneavno, it's that the edubuntu box isn't acting as a router03:03
sbalneavit's actually a nice little feature, really03:04
sbalneavif you've got an edubuntu lab, someone can't come along and start browsing naughty bits on their laptop.03:04
ograthe dhcp server also gives out the info where to find a kernel and where the / directory for the client is03:05
happywithedOK, that's good03:05
happywithedI have to go now.  Some of my students want to party.  So I guess I don't have to watch the paint dry after all.03:06
