melinatethanks02:21
cliebowmelinate:completely stock right..?02:23
sbalneavLooks stock.02:23
=== cliebow cliebow looks back'
sbalneavDo you have other dhcpd servers on the network?  Perhaps you can describe how you're network's laid out a bit?02:23
melinatesbalneav: don't think so... I have the edubuntu server a switch and one client turned on... the server isn't even plugged into a gateway02:25
cliebowsbalneav, he has an hp vectra with two choices in bios..tcp/ip or pxe02:26
cliebowhe gets some response from the tcp/ip option02:27
cliebownone form pxe..02:27
sbalneavPXE's what you want.02:27
melinateright.... pxe says no dhcp offered02:27
sbalneavWhat does /var/log/daemon.log say02:27
melinatebut I can boot edubuntu workstation with dhcp and it fetches an IP :/02:27
sbalneavPaste a few lines, that's where dhcpd logs to02:28
melinateone sec02:28
melinateokay... like I said the server is on it's own network so pasting is a bit impossible... but I just did a "tail -f" and there was no request made during the PXE boot02:32
melinateif you think there is a problem with the PXE I'd be fine booting from CD or HDD, but I'm not sure how to determine which settings to use fro rom-o-matic.net?02:34
sbalneavI'm sorry, thought you said you were using the bios boot.  Are you using etherboot?02:35
cliebowmelinate:can you boot your client to a live cd..to determine pci id of your network card?02:35
cliebowyes i think this was bios option02:36
cliebowonce you positively id your network card you eill knoe which floppy image to use in romomatic..02:37
melinatecliebow: I have edubuntu workstation installed on the hdd already... I'll log in... where do I see the pci id?02:38
melinateit is a bios option that lets me choose between two network boot options... PXE and TCP/IP [with sub choices of DHCP or BOOTP] 02:40
sbalneavYou want pxe and dhcp02:43
=== Stormzoeker [n=ben@cc1075059-b.sneek1.fr.home.nl] has left #edubuntu ["Kopete]
melinatesbalneav: that's what I have it set to now, but it appears the pxe is not actually making a dhcp request [nothing it showing up in the /var/log/daemon.log when booting the client] 02:44
sbalneavIs the dhcpd started?02:45
sbalneavps -ef | grep dhcpd02:45
boyammelinate: got in on your problem a little late...but does that hp vectra use intel lan desk when it boots via pxe....the way you can tell is when the machine boots via pxe, it will display at the top of your screen "Intel Landesk blah blah blah....."02:46
melinatesbalneav:  yep... it's running and I can see that it is loading the right .conf file02:46
melinateboyam: yea I see a message like that at login02:47
boyammelinate: your problem sounds real similar to a problem i had booting with some old IBM Nics tha used Intel Lan Desk ver 0.99..02:48
melinateI was afraid it might be a problem related to the age of the hardware...02:50
boyammelinate: i found a site that fixed my issue...don't  know if it will work for you but you can give it a shot..02:50
melinateboyam: cool thanks02:50
boyammelinate: hold on let me fetch the url..02:50
boyammelinate: http://yogharp.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/class-room-ltsp-with-edubuntu/02:51
boyammelinate: I had some old PII's that had a buggy version of Intel LanDesk...once i adjusted the conf's from the url I gave you, the nic's could see the dhcp server...02:52
melinateboyam: cool.. I02:53
melinateI'll give that a try02:53
boyamsbalneav: didn't mean to take over, but the problem seemed sooo familiar to me...02:54
sbalneavNot at all02:54
boyami spent a few hours scratching my head over this one..so i remember the symptoms very well....not to say it will work for melinate...but it's worth a shot02:55
melinateyeah I've been on this one a few nights now :)02:56

ograwhats up _01:15
ogra_01:15
ograhmm ... why is mz keymap broken01:16
ograyyy... zzzz01:16
ograahh, better01:16
ograzsh, whats your prob ?01:17
zshogra, perhaps you have the same problem, then me :)01:17
zshhow can I set the keyboard layout in ltsp on gutsy01:17
ograno, i was just playing with xgl ... crappy and buggy as hell :)01:17
zshXKBLAYOUT=de does not work01:17
ograthe default should be set to the servers X keymap01:17
ograyou can override it with XKBLAYOUT01:18
ograbut note that the location of the lts.conf changed01:18
zshmy lts.conf works now01:18
ograit's used from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf01:19
zshI have also this: CONFIGURE_X=False01:19
zshyes01:19
ograaha01:19
ograremove that01:19
ograthat causes X to not use a config at all ... which means it falls back to defaults ....01:19
ograwhich is great for graphics detection, but sadly still sucks for keyboard and mouse01:20
zshhas this something todo with config-less xserver?01:20
ogra(thats why we use a new x configrator nw)01:20
ogra*now01:20
ograhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPWithoutNFS01:20
ograsee that page01:20
zshwill the new x configurator get a own lts.conf option for keyboard?01:21
ograno01:23
ograit will just use the old variables01:23
ograjust remove the CONFIGURE_X=False from your /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf01:23

ograwell, that shouldnt matter if you choose german as default during install01:38
zshI have only: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"01:38
zshLANG="de_DE.UTF-8"01:38
ograthe ltsp-build-client script copies the defaults from the server to the client01:39
zsh../console-setup seems ok01:40
ograthats the one that counts for X01:40
ograstrange01:40
zshin .../environment I have no LANGUAGE variable01:40
ograthats fine01:41
zsha bug in ldm2?01:41
ogranope01:41
ograx configuration has nothing to do with ldm01:42
ograit runs before ldm even starts01:42
zshI could also choose no language in ldm2, but I think, this is not yet implemented01:42
ograit is, just not packaged yet ;)01:43
ograldm2 is done since the weekend ...01:43
zshok :)01:43
zshoh great01:43
ograi'm waiting for scott to sort out the last bugs and will merge this week01:43
ograhost, session and lang selection work ... autologin, unencrypted X, expired password handling and error feedback work ... and it has a lot of new themes01:44
zshwhich advantage has "unencrypted X"?01:45
ograspeed01:45
ograif you have small CPUs in the clients or want to watch movies01:46
ografor both it helps01:46
zshbut the network traffic?01:46
ograis nearly the same01:46
ograencryption only encrypts01:46
ograit doesnt compress01:46
ograso you have the packages being encrypted/decrypted all the time01:47
ograthat doesnt raise any network load01:47
ograbut puts load on the CPUs on both sides01:47
zshI tried it and ... I am not sure... but I think it was a least twice the network load01:48
zshI have to try it again01:48
ograit shouldnt01:48
zshok, I will try itagain01:48
ograin any case it drops latency for video etc01:49
zshbtw, are there plans to integrate NX?01:49
ogranot before NX isnt sane, no01:49
zshI will integrate the NXclient, for us now01:49
zshit shouldn't be to hard01:50
ograthats great, if you have a proper screenscript for that feel free to contribute it )01:50
ogra:)01:50
zshok01:50
ograso users oly need to install the nx client in the chroot and set SCREEN_07=nx or so ...01:50
ograi guess local devices and sound will make probs thogh01:51
zshyes, its a shame that NX is not in an acceptable shape01:51
ograyup01:52
zshwe will not need it, but we need a very stable system01:52
zshtoday01:52
zshand the session management of freenx is today quite good01:52
ograyou can detach and reattach, right ?01:53
zshand the session-management is shared between, ltsp-clients, NXclient on Linux, nxclient on windows, this is great for us01:53
zshyes01:53
zshif the connection breaks, the session supends on the server01:54
ograi was looking at xmove for ltsp to do that ...01:54
ograbut sadly thats pure crack01:54
ograanother option would be to run xvbf as default X server on thin client connection and write something that can attach to it ad forward the display01:55
ograso xvfb would run for every user all the time and you can attach/detach as liked01:56
ograindeed that raises the server reqs a lot01:56

ograno02:00
ografixing the gnome apps is needed02:00
zshe.g. gnome-panel "gnome-panel is already running" after reconnect02:00
ograthat should be fixed since some time02:01
zshin feisty02:01
ograhmm, i dont have that in feisty, but i saw something on the mailing lists iirc02:01
ograsomeone had a crashed gdm on the server or so .. the missing socket caused that02:02
zshwith kde I didn't have such problems, but I favor it02:03

sbalneavMorning all03:50
ograhey sbalneav03:50
sbalneavHey, how's it going?03:50
ograso so ... diggin through my weekend mail etc ... poking around in ltsp-manager a bit now ...03:51
sbalneavman, I've been hacking like a madman to get things done for upstream freeze.03:51
ograi saw that03:51
sbalneavOh, excellent.03:51
sbalneavI did some updates to the ltsp-update utils03:51
ogra"First stab at integrating completed greeter and ldm.  Horribly broken.  Will fix tomorro"03:51
ograkept me from merging yet :)03:51
sbalneavheh03:51
ograyeah, saw that03:52
ograi commented on one of the bugs03:52
sbalneavOh, ok.03:52
ograthe image needs to know as well that you changed the nbd port03:52
ograwe have nbdroot or nbdport as kernel variables for this03:52
sbalneavDid adding the -b base options make sense?  Hopefully that moves us closer to squashing the "hardcoded /opt/ltsp" bug.03:52
ograthere needs to go an entry into /etc/default/ltsp-update-kernels in the chroot for thsi03:53
sbalneavDid I change the nbd port?03:53
ograwell, i wouldnt invent new options ...03:53
ograshould be --base etc03:53
sbalneavHow do you do the gnu longopts then?  I was using dash's getopts builtin.03:54
sbalneavI couldn't find something for the longopts03:54
ograsbalneav, if you add an option like -p it needs to change the ports on both sides03:54
ogra;)03:54
sbalneavOh, that03:55
sbalneavyeah.03:55
ograyeah03:55
sbalneavWell, the reason I did that was because the update-image was just randomly picking a port anyway if 2000 was in use.03:56
ograi dropped the code that did increment the portnumber by one when i merged the nbdroot code from MrMoo03:56
ograi just didnt come around to reimplement it with the new varables yet03:56
sbalneavah, ok, I haven't merged from your tree in a while.03:57

highvoltageogra: I was just wondering, is NBD a big implementation? would it be a big deal to write into something like etherboot or pxe? if it's easy, perhaps canonical can use its relationship with intel to get nbd in there, and elimate the need for tftp as well.04:15
highvoltageheh, that actually sounds more outragous now that I've typed it out :)04:15
ograhighvoltage, well, it needs a bunch of binaries etc04:15
ograi bet its to big for something like PXE and etherboot04:15
highvoltageyes, pity.04:16
highvoltageI just love it so much that ltsp doesn't need nfs anymore, it would be so nice if it was possible to eliminate tftp too. then again, tftp is so incredibly light.04:17

highvoltageheh, ok I read the PXE spec just now, removing tftp will never be... trivial.04:27
ograwell, you wanted to replace tftp04:27
ogradidnt you ?04:27
highvoltageyes04:29
ogra;)04:29
highvoltageit's just a kernel, just one little stream of data that needs to move from one machine to another! I don't want to run a whole service for it!!!!! :)04:30
=== highvoltage goes off to find another thing to obsess about
highvoltageomg. http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/bootagent/sb/cs-008191.htm still lists Red Hat 6.1 as an OS that supports PXE04:31
highvoltagethey should really list Ubuntu+LTSP there.04:32

montesluanyone know why there's two dhcpd.conf files on edubuntu?08:10
ogramonteslu, because we didnt want to break or override existing configs with something that could be modified by a script or so ...08:11
edubuntugirlogra: by the way, highvoltage told me to tell you 'ouch, here's another doc that contains bad info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LTSPHowTo' 1 day, 8 hours, 39 minutes and 30 seconds ago (on Sun Aug 12 11:33:58 2007)08:11
ogramonteslu, so the file from /etc/ltsp will be used as default while not touching /etc/dhcpd.conf ...08:12

timmaI am having trouble with a new install.  Thin Client Manager says the client needs x11vnc installed.  And my server has no sound card, but my clients do and they do not work.  How do I install x11vnc?09:41

sbalneavAre you doing this on the thin client, on a text login screen?10:59
timmaon the server, chroot into /opt/ltsp/i38610:59
sbalneavthat won't work11:00
sbalneavyou'll have to do it on the thin client itself.11:00
sbalneavThat's why you'll need to set a root password on the chroot11:00
sbalneavso you can login on the thin client itself.11:01
