[03:25] hi [03:25] Hello [03:27] anyone know if ltsp clients lose power, any processes that need to be cleaned up ?l [03:28] 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 ... [03:29] edubuntu 8.04.1, with updates done as of a couple of days ago, [03:29] I checked the logs and saw dhcp process vey slow .. discover/offer messages etc. at 15 second intervals [03:30] Did you reset the switch or hub that the thin clients and server are connected to? [03:30] It might be in a confused state. [03:30] just a netgear switch .. powerd up along with the clients and server again [03:32] Yeah, I'd do a clean reboot of the server. [03:32] 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] when power restores .. [03:32] Well, here's what I'd do. [03:33] 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] 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. [03:34] And for $75 bucks, I'd buy a UPS and throw that on the server. [03:35] 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] I am in India ..so power problems are common.. [03:35] electrician was sick ...typos ! [03:35] Thanks Scott.... [03:36] If power problems are common, you'll definitely want a UPS on things. [03:37] yes .. I am hoping to get it hooked up today [03:37] If just the clients lose power ... is it fine or are there some things that need cleaning up on the server ? [03:43] Well, there'll be some hung processes, for sure. === calimer-- is now known as calimer [03:43] You'll need to pkill those. [03:50] how do I identufy the processes ? grep ltsp ? [03:52] No [03:52] They're just the users processes, so any of the processes that are run by your regular users. [03:54] ok..thanks [22:28] hi can make a Edubuntu LTSP Classroom Server in a vmware? [23:10] hmm by topic i am guessing this is edubuntu dev channel, is there a users channel? [23:12] pixelated: This is both. [23:12] hmm ok [23:12] We're not as big as main Ubuntu, we do it all in one place. [23:12] ty [23:14] one small happy family :') [23:14] hi can make a Edubuntu LTSP Classroom Server in a vmware? [23:15] RamLinux: I imagine that you can, but I've never tried and don't know what the performance hit would be. [23:15] just for test 1 terminal only maybe 2 [23:16] 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] RamLinux: try it and find out is all I can tell you, I don't have much experience with VMware [23:16] ok Xen its for win? [23:17] Xen runs on the bottom, you'd put all the OSes on top of it [23:17] cool [23:17] I don't really know anything about virtualization on top of windows, I have not run Win since the 90's [23:17] RamLinux, Xen kinda runs like that. [23:17] It's not really a HyperVisor though. [23:18] ok im documenting the procedure if works i post a vmware functionaly for tests proposals in rapidshare [23:18] HedgeMage, yes, you can run an LTSP Classroom server in VMware. [23:18] learn something new every day :) [23:19] Er, that last message was to RamLinux and the first was to HedgeMage [23:19] HedgeMage, XenServer, a proprietary Xen virtualization solution, is a hypervisor. [23:20] np [23:20] houston i got my first problem [23:20] rockstar: ahh, that may be what the organization I did Xen with was using. [23:20] There are no free interfaces for usage woth the LTSP Server [23:21] im running on my lap 2gb core2duo XP [23:21] 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] nifty :) [23:21] how i create the interfaces to this schema [23:23] rockstar any clue? [23:23] RamLinux, what vm software? [23:23] vmware [23:23] winxp [23:24] Vmware Workstation ACE edition 6.0.2 [23:25] RamLinux, did you run the the vmware setup script? [23:25] RamLinux, oh, WinXP? I'm out. I've never run VMware on XP. [23:25] lol [23:25] (I haven't used windows in a VERY long time) [23:25] cool [23:26] ok, its for test proposals [23:27] cya guys im glad to know you all [23:27] im back to play Ut99
