| monteslu_ | ogra not hang out in here anymore? | 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| monteslu | stgraber, have you done an ltsp installation with mutliple ltsp servers? | 01:21 |
| monteslu | I've got 70 thin clients and I'm setting up 2 new servers today | 01:21 |
| monteslu | two dual-quad cores with 16GB ram a piece | 01:21 |
| monteslu | total of 8 cores and 32 GB between the two boxes, more hardware than I've ever been able to throw at ltsp :) | 01:22 |
| monteslu | actually 16 cores between the boxes | 01:22 |
| monteslu | 8 cores a piece | 01:22 |
| monteslu | In the past i've used matt olquist's smbldap installer script to setup and connect my two old servers to the ldap server | 01:24 |
| monteslu | this year i have to do it manually because the smbldap installer is no longer being updated | 01:25 |
| stgraber | monteslu: I haven't done that kind of installation myself but I'm working for a company how does :) | 02:20 |
| stgraber | *who | 02:21 |
| stgraber | monteslu: anything that you think might be a problem with multiple ltsp servers ? | 02:21 |
| monteslu | stgraber, sure plenty of problems :) | 02:23 |
| monteslu | well, specifically there isn't any real support for it | 02:23 |
| monteslu | all I'm doing is pointing certain workstations at the secondary server via the lts.conf | 02:24 |
| monteslu | so if server 1 goes down, it's all down | 02:24 |
| monteslu | and if server 2 goes down, it's half down | 02:24 |
| stgraber | doesn't ldm provide a way of selecting a server from a list ? I thought it did | 02:25 |
| monteslu | My main concern for now though is connecting 8.04 to my old ldap server without the smbldap clilent configuration script | 02:25 |
| monteslu | stgraber, you mean for the user to do that? | 02:25 |
| monteslu | i'd rather it just did a round robin, and allowed for overridign | 02:26 |
| stgraber | that or using ldminfod to select one, I recall something like that but never used it | 02:26 |
| monteslu | overriding | 02:26 |
| stgraber | monteslu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SimpleLDMLoadBalancing | 02:27 |
| monteslu | I would still need to failover my dhcp server | 02:27 |
| monteslu | i just did the normal edubuntu ltsp setup and disalbed dhcp on the secondary | 02:27 |
| monteslu | oooh, very cool. Thanks for the link | 02:28 |
| monteslu | this is also the first time I'm using servers with more than 4GB of memory | 02:31 |
| monteslu | I'm not going to use the x86_64 kernel though because of the assholes at Adobe | 02:31 |
| monteslu | but I think i need to select server kernel or some such thing to address all my 16GB on each server | 02:31 |
| stgraber | yeah, you'll need the server kernel for > 4GB | 02:32 |
| monteslu | I think there was something else I had to do to the secondary server.... | 02:43 |
| monteslu | something about copyin ssh keys from the primary server | 02:43 |
| monteslu | sound familiar? | 02:43 |
| stgraber | yeah, you'll need the public key of both servers in the chroot | 02:46 |
| stgraber | or make both servers to have the same public key | 02:46 |
| monteslu | cool | 02:56 |
| monteslu | ok, new problem :) | 02:56 |
| monteslu | following the instructions word for word, and i'm getting (initramfs) instead of a login screen... | 02:57 |
| monteslu | so i removed "quiet" from tftboot | 02:57 |
| monteslu | gettign an error: connection refused | 02:58 |
| monteslu | then mount: Mounting /rofs on /root/rofs failed: Invalid argument | 02:59 |
| monteslu | and it doesn't get any better from there | 02:59 |
| monteslu | ooh, lots of hits, must be a common bug | 03:00 |
| stgraber | that means that your nbd server didn't answer | 03:02 |
| stgraber | does your server answer on tcp/2000 (default nbd port) ? | 03:03 |
| monteslu | nope | 03:05 |
| monteslu | tried telnetting and got nothing | 03:05 |
| monteslu | someone suggested ltsp-build-client on the forum | 03:06 |
| monteslu | giving it a shot | 03:06 |
| monteslu | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=686966 | 03:06 |
| stgraber | hmm, indeed it won't work if you don't have a chroot | 03:08 |
| stgraber | so ltsp-build-client is the first step | 03:08 |
| stgraber | it'll generate the chroot and add it to tftp and nbd | 03:09 |
| monteslu | shouldn't that have been done by the installer? | 03:09 |
| stgraber | depends how you installed it ? | 03:14 |
| stgraber | was that with the alternate CD-Rom and the LTSP option ? | 03:14 |
| monteslu | yup | 03:17 |
| monteslu | it put some stuff down | 03:17 |
| monteslu | like the /opt/ltsp was there | 03:17 |
| monteslu | but it must not have been complete, becuase this build client script is taking as long as that install did | 03:18 |
| stgraber | indeed, that's because it does an install :) | 03:20 |
| stgraber | (well, except the desktop part of it) | 03:20 |
| monteslu | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall "If the installer is done and has rebooted into your new system you will be able to boot your first Thin Client right away." | 03:22 |
| monteslu | that might need some revising :) | 03:22 |
| monteslu | cool, I'm in on the first server. Now to change to the big kernel, then connect to my ldap server, then setup the second box | 03:31 |
| monteslu | apparently installing linux-server doesn't automatically tell grub to use it | 03:42 |
| monteslu | nevermind. it worked. Restarting from a thin client doesnt | 03:48 |
| monteslu | but that's fine | 03:48 |
| monteslu | i can always do it on a comand line | 03:49 |
| Neil3 | hey folks, just wondering how suitable edubuntu is for a home, rather than classroom, environment, say for a pc for my 4 and 5 year old kids? | 07:29 |
| highvoltage | *LaserHug* | 18:12 |
| LaserJock | hi highvoltage | 18:15 |
| elk80 | hi everyone | 18:15 |
| highvoltage | hi LaserJock and elk80 | 18:16 |

| * LaserJock yawns | 18:17 | |
| elk80 | have some coffee :) | 18:17 |
| LaserJock | unfortunately I haven't figured out how to get a coffee habit | 18:18 |
| LaserJock | the stuff is so nasty I just have a hard time choking it down | 18:18 |
| LaserJock | 10 years of uni and I still can't do it ;-) | 18:18 |
| elk80 | You haven't tried a Latte or starbucks drink then :) they're mostly cream/sugar :) | 18:23 |
| monteslu | anyone have sudo throwing Seg faults on them? | 23:38 |
| monteslu | I'm using 8.04.1 | 23:39 |
| monteslu | seems to not be able to write to the /root | 23:39 |
