flinglehello, i am having trouble getting thin clients to boot from the server :(12:24
flinglethe pxe lan card boots up and detects the DHCP server, its assigned an ip address and then says TFTP... but doesnt seem to be doing anything at all12:25
flinglethere is no firewall on the edubuntu server.... iptables allows everything through12:25
flinglethe dhcp server is configed to:12:26
flinglesubnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {12:26
flinglerange 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.20012:27
flinglefilename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";12:27
flingleoption root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";12:27
flingle}12:27
flingleany ideas what is going wrong? or what I have missed?12:27
flingleanyone awake?12:29
=== t94xr [n=gta@60-234-134-174.bitstream.orcon.net.nz] has joined #edubuntu
ograthats all your dhcp config has ?12:33
ograi think your should have at least a network and netmask address ....12:33
ograand a broadcast entry12:33
ograadd:   option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;12:34
ograand:   option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;12:34
ograbeyond that make sure there is no other dhcp server running in that network anywhere12:35
flinglei will add that, although there are two dhcp configs, there the one from dhcp3 and the one for ltsp12:42
flinglebut the ltsp one takes over it seems12:42
flinglethere are two eths, eth0 and 1, eth0 is the dhcp server12:45
flinglei just added those lines into the dhcp3 config file, restarted it, will bootup the thin client now to see if it works12:45
flinglehmmmz, still the same problem :(12:47
flingleany other ideas?12:47
ograthats a stock edubuntu install ?12:48
=== boyam_1 [n=boyam12@66.129.74.5] has joined #edubuntu
ograor ubuntu with added ltsp server ?12:51
flingleyup latest version12:55
flingledefault settings12:56
ogralatest = feisty ? or latest dev release (gutsy)?12:56
flinglesorry latest stable, feisty12:57
ogragood ...12:57
ograso are you 100% sure there is no other dhcp server in your net (i.e. on a router or so)12:58
flingleoh i remember your nick now, i read some guy having the same problem as me, and he mentioned you helped him out, cant remember the site now :(12:58
flinglenope, i am just doing this as a test, just a server (edubuntu) + a thin client connected to each other through a hub12:59
ograhmm, weird12:59
ogradid you tweak your inetd.conf or the settings for tftpd-hpa in /etc/default ?01:00
flinglenope i read in some forums and compared, and they seem to be ok01:01
ograthe tftp server should be started from inetd, there is a line for that in the inetd.conf file01:01
flinglejust left it as default01:01
flingleyup, one sec, i will post it for you01:01
ograif its more than three or four lines, please use the pastebot01:02
ogra!pastebin01:02
ubotupastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)01:02
flingletftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot01:03
ogragood, thats fine then01:03
flingleits ok i cant paste, i have to see the monitor and type in here, as that server is not connected to the network01:03
ogra/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386 should have some kernel and initramfs files01:03
flinglethe dhcp server is working fine though, cause the thin client gets an ip and default gateway from the pxe bootup... just doesnt seem to load the linux image :(01:04
ograok01:04
flingleyup there are several files in there with some symlinks01:05
flinglesome .img files01:05
ogragoo01:05
ograd01:05
flingleand the pxelinux.0 file01:05
ogrado you see any trace of the tftp request in your logs ?01:05
flingleon which log can i check that? :( syslog ?01:06
ograyeah01:06
ograsomething like: in.tftpd[18167] : tftp: client does not accept options01:06
flinglenope nada01:07
ograhmm, its definately a dhcp problem then01:07
ogradid you make any changes to /etc/hosts.allow or some such ?01:08
flinglenope all at default01:08
flinglewill tail -f the syslog and bootup the thin client again to see what it logs01:08
ograis your second interface configured ? you said you have two01:08
flingleyeah second interface = 192.168.1.201:08
ograand the first one ?01:08
flinglewith same subnet mask01:08
flinglefirst = 192.168.1.25401:09
ograwell, there is your prob then :)01:09
flinglewould thin client setup work only on one eth?01:09
ograsure01:09
flingle:O cause ltsp was telling me that it needed another adapter to be correctly configed, thats why i installed another eth card01:10
ograone interface is usually the thin client network... the other can act as dhcp client in another network ...01:10
flingle:O01:10
flinglehow shall i config the other adapter? or shall i just remove it?01:10
ogradhcpd will detect the interface that has a static confoig and that matches the dhcpd.conf file01:10
flingleyup they are both static and i have setup dhcp to use eth 0 which is the 192.168.1.25401:11
ogranow you have configured both to be in the same network ... so it will just server on the first interface it finds01:11
ograplug the hub into the other interface  for a quuick fix :)01:11
flinglei have changed it on /etc/default/dhcpd though01:12
ograor remove the second interface if you dont need it ...01:12
flinglethey are both plugged into the same hub hehz01:12
ograthats an option too, but having both in the same address space is a bad idea anyway ...01:12
ograeek01:12
ograthat cant work then :)01:12
flinglehehe01:12
ograjust remove one (and revert the change to /etc/default01:13
ogra)01:13
flinglewould it work if i just disable it?01:13
ograyes, and unplug01:13
flingleahz oki will try it ou01:13
flinglet01:13
ograethernet will not know where to send its packages to :)01:13
flinglei getcha, oki i will do that now and come back with a result ;)01:14
ograthe default setup for edubuntu is to have one interfaces statically configfured for ltsp ... the other usually does act as dynamic dhcp client ... so you can attach your server to an existing network without clashing with any existing dhcp server01:14
ograif you dont want internet connection its the easdiest to just use one interface ...01:15
cliebowflingle:dont suppose you can fire up wireshark and look the network packets over?01:20
ogracliebow, both interfaces plugged to the same hub, both share the same ip space01:21
ograeven wireshark wont know what to do with these packaets i suppose :)01:21

flinglethanks a lot for your help !01:25
ogra:)01:25
flingleone more question if you dont mine me asking01:26
ograi suspect you might get login probs now01:26
flinglehow come if there are two lan cards on the server, it wont work?01:26
ograbest is to run: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys if that is the case01:26
flinglenah i logged in through a root login and it works :P just gotta try with normal level users01:26
ogratwo lan cards in the server wor4ks fine01:26
flinglecheers01:26
ogra(i'm currently working via such a setup)01:27
flinglehow is the extra card supposed to be configed?01:27
ograyour probl4em is that you plugged both into the same hub *and* configured both for the same address sopace01:27
ograplug it into a different network (your LAN with the router for example)01:28
ograand configure it for this net ...01:28
ogra(either with a static IP or as dhcp client)01:28

sgonzalezHi... I'm trying to use gconf-editor. Everything I read tells me to just type that in a terminal, but when I do, it tells me it can't open a display and then how to see a full list of command line options with --help. I read those and the man page but still can't get this to run. Suggestions?08:25

DimenHello all09:59
DimenI have a question relating to formatting an HD under edubuntu..  I need to format it using HFS+ but do not know how..10:00
RichEd=== edubuntu-devel meeting in #ubuntu-meeting === now10:00
LaserJockDimen: HFS+ yikes10:01
LaserJockDimen: I think you'll need to google around and be careful10:02
Dimenthat bad huh?10:02
Dimenheh..  I'm putting an image on it (OS X...  using the dd command..) and it doesn't seem to be working..10:03
Dimeni thought maybe formatting it in HFS+ instead of FAT32 might help..10:03
Dimenwell, even after formatting to fat32 (which i just did) i'm trying to drag a file to the new drive and it's saying that I do not have permission..  how do i get permission? :)10:05
LaserJockhmm10:06
LaserJockjust making an HFS+ partition should be doable I think10:06
LaserJockalthought with dd do you even need to do that?10:06
Dimeni guess not..  but it's not working so I don't know what's up..  Also, i just tried to copy again using the cp command.  same error unless i use sudo.  any way around using sudo cause i'd hate to have to use the command line every time i want to copy a file..10:08
Dimeni just don't understand the point of having to use the command line in edubuntu to write files to usb disks and what not..10:13

LaserJockis this in your home directory?10:40
Dimennope, i'm using the ubuntu live CD..  and just want to write to the hard disk in my computer10:41
Dimeni mounted hda1 to /media/hda110:41
ograand hda1 is hfs+ ?10:41
Dimennope, fat32, and the only way to copy files to hda1 is via a terminal window as such "sudo cp filename /media/hda110:42

LaserJockyou could just a file browser using sudo10:50
Dimenhow do i do that?10:50
LaserJockin a terminal I think you can run gksudo nautilus and it should work10:51
LaserJockit might be somewhere in the menu too but I can't remember10:51
