| Bert_2 | I have checked out the edubuntu handbook, and it tells me a lot about LTSP except which packages I need to use it, so which ones would I need if clients use PXE ? | 08:16 |

| stgraber | ogra: Looks like we have found the issue in x11vnc. Upstream release handles "broken pipe" correctly but crashes with italc. | 13:19 |
| stgraber | That happens when we are closing the VNC link before the frame was loaded from the client | 13:19 |
| stgraber | (so basically closing italc when a student screen is still refreshing) | 13:19 |
| stgraber | the fact that it's easier to reproduce with larger resolution is probably because it takes longer to refresh than with low resolutions | 13:20 |
| ogra | yeah | 13:20 |
| ogra | depending on the bandwith as well i guess | 13:20 |
| stgraber | indeed | 13:20 |
| stgraber | we'll certainly have a fix/workaround in final 1.0.9 (if it's released one day :)) | 13:23 |
| stgraber | btw, did you see Richard recently ? | 13:23 |
| stgraber | I wanted to ask for some news about my cmpc (still not here :( ) but he doesn't seem to be around | 13:23 |
| ogra | no, i didnt | 13:39 |
| ogra | not since last wed. or so | 13:39 |
| stgraber | hmm, ok. I sent him a mail. | 13:42 |
| RichEd | stgraber: hi | 15:10 |
| cottima | Hello | 16:14 |
| cottima | Does Hardy Heron's ltsp5 feature "http boot" from gPXE/etherboot ? (Note: It has been a year since I have touched LTSP or its docs. Sorry, just want to know.) | 16:15 |
| stgraber | what's http boot ? getting stuff using http instead of tftp ? | 16:15 |
| stgraber | if yes, we don't | 16:15 |
| cottima | yeah :( | 16:16 |
| stgraber | why would you do that ? | 16:16 |
| stgraber | it sounds like it'll need a lot more resource than the simple tftp deamon we have. And you'll need gPXE to use it so won't work with standard PXE rom | 16:17 |
| cottima | stagraber It transfers the image faster (tcp over udp). | 16:18 |
| stgraber | ah, I should go back to reading about network protocols :), in my memory udp should be faster as it doesn't require ack/signature as tcp does ... | 16:21 |
| cottima | stgraber http://www.linux.com/feature/118636 has three flash videos that talk about some new gPXE features. I am a lazy, dumb linux [desktop] user, so it sounds good to me. However, I need more maturing before implementing something. | 16:21 |
| cottima | stgraber, I thought what you said is what was say in my networking class, but... | 16:22 |
| stgraber | I guess Ubuntu won't install a http server with all LTSP installations until "http boot" is supported by the PXE chips on motherboard. Only a few users are using gPXE to boot their clients. | 16:24 |
| stgraber | that said, you probably can just install apache or lighttpd, set the web directory to /var/lib/tftpboot and it'll probably work fine | 16:24 |
| cottima | thanks stgraber | 16:44 |
| Lns | In a dual-NIC edubuntu setup, should a certain NIC be brought up by /etc/network/interfaces first? I'm having an issue where i have to cycle eth0 and eth1 whenever the system is rebooted - as it is now, eth0 is brought up first (eth0 is the "to-the-wan" iface). | 18:01 |
| Lns | For whatever reason, it can't see the rest of the world (can't ping out) until I cycle the NICs after reboot - the interfaces file is in correct syntax, too. | 18:01 |
| Lns | (minus a broadcast stanza for each NIC that i just put in...) | 18:02 |
| aarmelvin | ? | 18:32 |
| aarmelvin | anybody know how to use jabbin client | 18:35 |
| Lns | aarmelvin, ? | 18:36 |
| Lns | ah | 18:37 |
| Lns | voip for jabber? Cool! | 18:37 |
| * Lns has never personally heard of it before, so...no. ;) | 18:37 | |
| ogra | Lns, i'm not sure we still support /etc/iftab but you could assign a fixed devicename by MAC there | 18:37 |
| Lns | ogra, do you think it's an issue of which one is brought up first? Because the interfaces man page says whatever one is listed in the interfaces file is brought up first... | 18:39 |
| * Lns hasn't even heard of /etc/iftab ;) | 18:39 | |
| ogra | Lns, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules should fulfill the same purpose though | 18:39 |
| ogra | make sure to set ATTR{address} and NAME | 18:40 |
| aarmelvin | can i login into jabbin using my gmail account | 18:41 |
| Lns | ogra, what purpose to fulfill ? I'm not following the reason to use /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or /etc/iftab | 18:41 |
| aarmelvin | i got the error message saying that "connection failed:unable to connect with the server" | 18:41 |
| aarmelvin | anybody resolve my problem | 18:42 |
| ogra | Lns, to assign a fixed device name (ethX) to a certain NIC | 18:42 |
| Lns | aarmelvin, I don't think this is the correct channel to ask that question | 18:42 |
| aarmelvin | k...sorry | 18:42 |
| Lns | ogra, so you think the problem is that the NICs are getting mixed up during boot, based on what I said before? | 18:43 |
| aarmelvin | bye | 18:43 |
| ogra | Lns, you said that | 18:43 |
| Lns | well I just said I had to cycle up/down my NICs after boot | 18:43 |
| ogra | oh | 18:43 |
| Lns | because I can't ping outbound (via eth0) | 18:43 |
| ogra | i thought you had to cycle the names | 18:43 |
| Lns | oh no | 18:44 |
| ogra | thats weird then, the order they are brought up in shouldnt matter at all | 18:44 |
| Lns | ok | 18:44 |
| ogra | can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces ? | 18:44 |
| Lns | I know I've had issues before, even with an old server at the same location (if it can't reach a DNS server it will time out and nobody can boot TCs) | 18:44 |
| Lns | sure | 18:45 |
| Lns | !pastebin | 18:46 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 18:46 |
| Lns | ogra, http://paste.ubuntu.com/22387/ | 18:46 |
| ogra | hmm, nothing suspicious in there | 18:47 |
| Lns | ogra, bah - maybe my resolv.conf was fudging it up - its first entry was a bogus DNS server (not reachable) | 18:48 |
| Lns | think that would do it? | 18:48 |
| Lns | I know I've had weird issues with DNS and LTSP before | 18:48 |
| ogra | you could just add dns-nameservers to the interfaces file | 18:48 |
| Lns | (if DNS isn't reachable at boot or becomes unreachable) | 18:48 |
| Lns | ogra, weird, i don't see that in the man page for interfaces | 18:50 |
| ogra | oh, thats resolvconf, sorry ignore that | 18:50 |
| Lns | ah | 18:51 |
| Lns | ;) | 18:51 |
| stgraber | ogra: yeah, we found the issue in iTalc. It's actually an upstream x11vnc bug when using tight encoding. We'll just disable it for now until it's fixed upstream. | 22:47 |
| Lns | stgraber, which issue is that? | 23:28 |
| stgraber | ica crashing randomly | 23:32 |
| Lns | stgraber, ah...you wouldn't happen to know anything about Gnome themes cycling randomly with VNC in Hardy, would you? | 23:43 |
| stgraber | hmm, no, never heard of that | 23:44 |
| Lns | stgraber, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/239342 if you're interested..I filed that one | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 239342 in gnome-settings-daemon "Error starting gnome-settings-daemon while logged in via vnc" [Undecided,New] | 23:44 |
