| sbalneav | Hello | 03:25 |
| mssmss | anyone know if ltsp clients lose power, any processes that need to be cleaned up ?l | 03:27 |
| mssmss | we lost power in our lab yesterday and the clients and server went down and when powered back up ....the clients were extremely slow and would not boot up ... | 03:28 |
| mssmss | edubuntu 8.04.1, with updates done as of a couple of days ago, | 03:29 |
| mssmss | I checked the logs and saw dhcp process vey slow .. discover/offer messages etc. at 15 second intervals | 03:29 |
| sbalneav | Did you reset the switch or hub that the thin clients and server are connected to? | 03:30 |
| sbalneav | It might be in a confused state. | 03:30 |
| mssmss | just a netgear switch .. powerd up along with the clients and server again | 03:30 |
| sbalneav | Yeah, I'd do a clean reboot of the server. | 03:32 |
| mssmss | so .. if a edubuntu server / ltsp clients power down unexpectedly, what should I clean up if the system restarts ? Or does the server start from a clean slate ? | 03:32 |
| mssmss | when power restores .. | 03:32 |
| sbalneav | Well, here's what I'd do. | 03:32 |
| sbalneav | Make sure all the clients stay off, do a clean power cycle on the switch, bring the server up cleanly, then power on the clients. | 03:33 |
| sbalneav | If you just let everything come on at the same time, depending on your network hardware, they may decide your switch is only 10 megabits, or something else. | 03:33 |
| sbalneav | And for $75 bucks, I'd buy a UPS and throw that on the server. | 03:34 |
| mssmss | we did have a UPS on site yesterday ... electricial was sic ...and the UPS came with USA scokets, my server had a UK/India power cord .. so could not hook it up .. | 03:35 |
| mssmss | I am in India ..so power problems are common.. | 03:35 |
| mssmss | electrician was sick ...typos ! | 03:35 |
| mssmss | Thanks Scott.... | 03:35 |
| sbalneav | If power problems are common, you'll definitely want a UPS on things. | 03:36 |
| mssmss | yes .. I am hoping to get it hooked up today | 03:37 |
| mssmss | If just the clients lose power ... is it fine or are there some things that need cleaning up on the server ? | 03:37 |
| sbalneav | Well, there'll be some hung processes, for sure. | 03:43 |
| === calimer-- is now known as calimer | ||
| sbalneav | You'll need to pkill those. | 03:43 |
| mssmss | how do I identufy the processes ? grep ltsp ? | 03:50 |
| sbalneav | No | 03:52 |
| sbalneav | They're just the users processes, so any of the processes that are run by your regular users. | 03:52 |
| mssmss | ok..thanks | 03:54 |
| RamLinux | hi can make a Edubuntu LTSP Classroom Server in a vmware? | 22:28 |
| pixelated | hmm by topic i am guessing this is edubuntu dev channel, is there a users channel? | 23:10 |
| HedgeMage | pixelated: This is both. | 23:12 |
| pixelated | hmm ok | 23:12 |
| HedgeMage | We're not as big as main Ubuntu, we do it all in one place. | 23:12 |
| pixelated | ty | 23:12 |
| pixelated | one small happy family :') | 23:14 |
| RamLinux | hi can make a Edubuntu LTSP Classroom Server in a vmware? | 23:14 |
| HedgeMage | RamLinux: I imagine that you can, but I've never tried and don't know what the performance hit would be. | 23:15 |
| RamLinux | just for test 1 terminal only maybe 2 | 23:15 |
| HedgeMage | RamLinux: if you need to virtualize, you might consider Xen -- I have seen a server run on a Xen VM without any problems. | 23:16 |
| HedgeMage | RamLinux: try it and find out is all I can tell you, I don't have much experience with VMware | 23:16 |
| RamLinux | ok Xen its for win? | 23:16 |
| HedgeMage | Xen runs on the bottom, you'd put all the OSes on top of it | 23:17 |
| RamLinux | cool | 23:17 |
| HedgeMage | I don't really know anything about virtualization on top of windows, I have not run Win since the 90's | 23:17 |
| rockstar | RamLinux, Xen kinda runs like that. | 23:17 |
| rockstar | It's not really a HyperVisor though. | 23:17 |
| RamLinux | ok im documenting the procedure if works i post a vmware functionaly for tests proposals in rapidshare | 23:18 |
| rockstar | HedgeMage, yes, you can run an LTSP Classroom server in VMware. | 23:18 |
| HedgeMage | learn something new every day :) | 23:18 |
| rockstar | Er, that last message was to RamLinux and the first was to HedgeMage | 23:19 |
| rockstar | HedgeMage, XenServer, a proprietary Xen virtualization solution, is a hypervisor. | 23:19 |
| HedgeMage | np | 23:20 |
| RamLinux | houston i got my first problem | 23:20 |
| HedgeMage | rockstar: ahh, that may be what the organization I did Xen with was using. | 23:20 |
| RamLinux | There are no free interfaces for usage woth the LTSP Server | 23:20 |
| RamLinux | im running on my lap 2gb core2duo XP | 23:21 |
| rockstar | It's confusing, I know. I did a lot of development on vm software, so I started to understand it a bit better. | 23:21 |
| HedgeMage | nifty :) | 23:21 |
| RamLinux | how i create the interfaces to this schema | 23:21 |
| RamLinux | rockstar any clue? | 23:23 |
| rockstar | RamLinux, what vm software? | 23:23 |
| RamLinux | vmware | 23:23 |
| RamLinux | winxp | 23:23 |
| RamLinux | Vmware Workstation ACE edition 6.0.2 | 23:24 |
| rockstar | RamLinux, did you run the the vmware setup script? | 23:25 |
| rockstar | RamLinux, oh, WinXP? I'm out. I've never run VMware on XP. | 23:25 |
| RamLinux | lol | 23:25 |
| rockstar | (I haven't used windows in a VERY long time) | 23:25 |
| RamLinux | cool | 23:25 |
| RamLinux | ok, its for test proposals | 23:26 |
| RamLinux | cya guys im glad to know you all | 23:27 |
| RamLinux | im back to play Ut99 | 23:27 |
