[03:49] <eduser> :)
[08:22] <coolio> we just installed hardy and are experiencing dhcp problems, only 3 of 20 get dhcp and 4th get a lucky to a point
[08:22] <coolio> desperate for quick tip
[09:50] <stgraber> ogra_cmpc: around ?
[09:51] <stgraber> ogra: http://merges.ubuntu.com/i/italc/
[09:51] <stgraber> ogra: any way you can mark that as "do not sync it" ?
[09:53] <stgraber> or do you need my own 1.0.9-rc3 ? as it's rc3 and I know it still contains some bugs fixed in SVN I didn't publish my packages (not even in the team PPA) but if that can help getting rid of the merge we can probably upload it
[10:22] <Nurionn> ah, I had same problem like coolio: dhcp-server in hardy seems to be broken
[10:22] <Nurionn> if I startup multiple clients at the same time, no-one will get an ip...
[10:22] <Nurionn> in gutsy it works fine
[10:28] <Nurionn> is there a known bug?
[11:10] <ogra> stgraber,having the rc before thursday would be fine to just have it from teh merges list, we can still upload more later
[11:11] <ogra> Nurionn, no, and its the first time i hear about that (hardy is two montsold now) are you sure there is no other dhcp server in your network and yur configuration is ok ?
[11:11] <ogra> *months
[11:21] <stgraber> ogra: when generating a new source package for Ubuntu, should I remove all the PPA builds from the changelog ?
[11:27] <ogra> yes and merge possible changelog entries
[11:41] <Nurionn> ogra: yes, I made the same configurations I made in 7.10
[11:42] <Nurionn> for now, I reinstalled 7.10 parallel to 8.04, so I am still able to do some tests from time to time
[11:44] <Nurionn> ogra: you're back, are you?
[11:49] <stgraber> ogra_cmpc: ok, I updated my changelog to include your 1.0.8 upload and I'm test building 1.0.9-rc3
[11:50] <ogra> cool, thanks
[11:50] <ogra> Nurionn, yes
[11:50] <Nurionn> ogra: do you know anything about that dhcp-error, coolio and I have?
[11:51] <ogra> not more than i said before
[11:52] <ogra> but i'm pretty sure it just works for a lot of other eople so i'D be surprised if it was dhcpd's fault
[11:52] <Nurionn> it's strange, because in gutsy it works fine
[11:53] <Nurionn> I, too, thought that it was an error I did, until I saw the question of coolio
[11:53] <Nurionn> I made same configuration in gutsy and hardy (they're installed on the same server) -> if I start hardy, it doesn't work but in gutsy it does
[11:54] <Nurionn> or more precisely: it doesn't work if I connect multiple clients on the same time
[11:55] <Nurionn> if I wait until one started up and start then another one, it works mostly
[11:58] <ogra> sounds more like a network problem to me
[11:59] <ogra> define "doesnt work" more precisely
[11:59] <ogra> whats the error you see on the screen
[11:59] <Nurionn> the clients didn't receive an ip adress (and can't boot though)
[11:59] <ogra> and did you check the logs of the dhcp server if it gets requests it doesnt answer in time etc
[11:59] <Nurionn> PXE-E51: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received
[12:01] <Nurionn> in /var/log/syslog i saw the entries: dhcpdiscover and dhcpoffer -> but then it stopped
[12:01] <Nurionn> nothing more
[12:01] <Nurionn> "﻿sounds more like a network problem to me" - that's what I thought first
[12:01] <ogra> the entries ?
[12:01] <ogra> how many ?
[12:01] <ogra> do you see a request for every offer ?
[12:01] <ogra> err
[12:02] <ogra> s/offer/client
[12:02] <Nurionn> yes
[12:02] <Nurionn> request -> offer -> request -> offer
[12:02] <ogra> thats a plain hardy install without any modifications ?
[12:02] <Nurionn> err
[12:02] <Nurionn> I mean: discover -> offer -> disover -> offer
[12:03] <Nurionn> sometimes there are following: request -> ack  (and then sometimes it starts another time)
[12:03] <Nurionn> I did the following things:
[12:03] <Nurionn> - install hardy
[12:03] <ogra> and you are sure there is no other dhcp server in your network anywhere ?
[12:04] <Nurionn> yes
[12:04] <ogra> a rounter or so
[12:04] <ogra> *router
[12:04] <Nurionn> its a seperate vlan
[12:04] <Nurionn> and in the same environment it works with gutsy (even if I start 20 clients at the same time)
[12:05] <ogra> i stopped your list, so what else did you do beyond installing hardy
[12:06] <Nurionn> - change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (adding: Driver "vesa" - but it should not matter)
[12:07] <Nurionn> - install server-kernel (for more than 4gb ram)
[12:07] <Nurionn> - installing x11vnc
[12:08] <Nurionn> - configuring /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (entries for each client: mac-address, fixed-address, host-name))
[12:08] <Nurionn> - creating some users
[12:08] <Nurionn> ah and I installed flash/java for firefox3
[12:08] <ogra> can you try with the default dhcpd.conf ? and with the -generic kernel ?
[12:09] <Nurionn> I could, but it would take some time (server is in the other building)
[12:09] <Nurionn> should I?
[12:09] <ogra> well, might be that the server kernel has a prob with your NIC, who knows
[12:10] <Nurionn> ok, I'll try then
[12:10] <Nurionn> brb
[12:10] <ogra> i know the default setup works for ost people out of the box
[12:10] <ogra> i havent heard about such a prob the last two months
[12:10] <ogra> and your symptoms really look like a second dhcpd in the network
[12:10] <ogra> but if you say that cant be ....
[12:11] <Nurionn> if it would be, why should gutsy work?
[12:14] <ogra> your vlan setup works for one but not for the other ?
[12:26] <Nurionn> re
[12:26] <Nurionn> yes
[12:26] <Nurionn> now I tried with default dhcpd.conf and 2.6.24-19-generic kernel
[12:27] <Nurionn> same problem
[12:27] <Nurionn> vlan is not the problem I believ, for I made a direct connection to the switch in the other room on monday, and that didn't work either
[13:07] <joebaker> ogra:  My tftpd-hpa issue went away with following the install directions for Edubuntu 8.04  (installing Ubuntu first from alternate CD with F4 Option to create LTSP server) then loading Edubuntu Addon CD.
[13:09] <ogra> great to hear :)
[13:27] <stgraber> ogra: http://www.stgraber.org/download/ubuntu/italc/
[13:28] <stgraber> ogra: that version contains the debug version of x11vnc. The user won't see it but that can be useful for debuging some memory issues with x11vnc.
[14:52] <Nurionn> so I'm off until tomorrow. for my dhcp-problem, here are some additional information:
[14:52] <Nurionn>  /var/log/syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21402/
[14:53] <Nurionn>  /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21404/
