| * HedgeMage peeks in | 04:53 | |
| HedgeMage | Anyone up for a game of Scrabble? | 04:53 |
| * HedgeMage == bored. | 04:54 | |
| Ahmuck-Sr | hey hey | 05:39 |
| HedgeMage | hi, Ahmuck-Sr | 05:44 |
| HedgeMage | what's up? | 05:44 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | just chillin | 05:46 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | looking at upgrading the lab | 05:46 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | i've been a little more impressed with linux educational software holding childrens' attention | 05:47 |
| HedgeMage | :) | 05:51 |
| HedgeMage | what are your favorites? | 05:51 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | well, it's not mine. it's the kids. but gcompris seems to go over very well, as well as tux math and tux type | 06:13 |
| HedgeMage | Those are favorites here, as well. | 06:21 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | where is here? | 06:24 |
| HedgeMage | Illinois, USA... I do lots of computing with my son, and used to run a school computer club until it was cancelled/deferred due to politics. | 06:26 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | open a computer club up in your home or community room ? | 06:34 |
| HedgeMage | Sadly, the library is pretty anti-tech, and especially anti-open-source. There really isn't any place else around here, and I can't afford the liability of starting a group in my home. | 06:36 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | sadly our librarys are anit-tech and anti-linux, but not anti-opensource | 07:04 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | they get scared having all those linux people in the library | 07:04 |
| HedgeMage | heh | 07:05 |
| HedgeMage | Have a good night, Ahmuck-Sr -- I'm going to try to get some sleep | 07:06 |
| mss | hello | 07:47 |
| mss | I am trying to get autologin to work on edubuntu 8.04 clients .. | 07:48 |
| mss | I have tried both MAC and Ip address in the lts.conf file .. but it does not work ... still get gui login .... | 07:49 |
| mss | anything else I need to do ? | 07:49 |
| mss | lts.conf | 07:50 |
| mss | [default] | 07:50 |
| mss | X_COLOR_DEPTH=16 | 07:50 |
| mss | LDM_DIRECX=True | 07:50 |
| mss | X_RAMPERC=80 | 07:50 |
| mss | [00:17:A4:F4:7C:D5] | 07:50 |
| mss | LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True | 07:50 |
| mss | LDM_USERNAME=ltsp | 07:50 |
| mss | LDM_PASSWORD=ltsp123 | 07:50 |
| mss | [00:1A:4B:4B:F6:80] | 07:50 |
| mss | LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True | 07:50 |
| mss | LDM_USERNAME=ltsp001 | 07:50 |
| mss | LDM_PASSWORD=manty10 | 07:50 |
| alkisg | mss: get a local terminal, and see if those settings actually reach the clients | 07:55 |
| alkisg | To get a local terminal, you can put SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm in lts.conf | 07:55 |
| alkisg | The command to see which settings reach the clients is: getltscfg -a | 07:55 |
| alkisg | (where do you keep that lts.conf, btw? in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf ?) | 08:02 |
| mss | yes .../var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf | 08:06 |
| * alkisg wonders if [mac-address] sections are case-sensitive and lowercase is needed... | 08:09 | |
| mss | well .. am not at the terminal location ...will check and let you know ...anything else I should look for ? | 08:09 |
| alkisg | Still, the IPs should work | 08:09 |
| alkisg | Another reason for lts.conf settings not having any effect is if the filename dhcp option isn't correct | 08:10 |
| alkisg | The scripts work out the lts.conf path from the dhcp filename (usually /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0) | 08:10 |
| alkisg | So if you modified the default dhcpd.conf and it doesn't sent that filename when the client identifier is "Linux ipconfig", then lts.conf doesn't reach the clients | 08:11 |
| alkisg | Btw, LDM_DIRECX=True ==> LDM_DIRECTX=True | 08:11 |
| alkisg | A "T" missing there. | 08:12 |
| mss | I looked in the ldm.c source file ... in there it seems to be matching for "t" or "T" instead of "True" ... is that fine ? | 08:12 |
| mss | yes ..I had corrected that DIRECTX spelling .. | 08:13 |
| mss | oh .. now this is connected to dhcp ! | 08:13 |
| alkisg | "True" is fine. | 08:13 |
| alkisg | If you have remote access to your server, upload your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to pastebin... | 08:14 |
| mss | I am using dnsmasq now .. ( had problems with dhcpd being slow , problem turned out to be no hostname entries in /etc/hosts for clients resulting in very slooow dhcp response..) | 08:14 |
| alkisg | OK, your dnsmasq.conf then. | 08:14 |
| alkisg | There's a setting in dhcp3-server to not do hostname lookups, but anyway, since you're using dnsmasq, I guess your dnsmasq.conf has problems | 08:15 |
| alkisg | E.g. if you only send the filename for net:PXEClient, that would be the problem | 08:16 |
| mss | is there a sample dnsmasq.conf file ? | 08:21 |
| mss | I don't have remote access to server unfortunately | 08:24 |
| alkisg | Yes, there is one | 08:26 |
| alkisg | Hmmm.... I was talking about /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/examples/dhcpd-dnsmasq, but now I see that it has the problem I'm mentioning :) | 08:28 |
| alkisg | So a bug report should be filed. | 08:28 |
| mss | I did use /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/examples/dhcpd-dnsmasq to create the dnsmasq.conf file... | 08:35 |
| alkisg | OK so that was the source of the problem | 08:38 |
| alkisg | The string "Linux ipconfig" should be also checked for when sending the filename | 08:38 |
| mss | alkisg, if it not too much trouble ....... could you let me know the corrections to be done , so I can check ? | 08:49 |
| alkisg | mss, *without* checking, I'd say that you need to add the line: dhcp-vendorclass=pxe,"Linux ipconfig" | 08:50 |
| alkisg | mss: Could you file a bug for it in launchpad? I could propose a new examples/dhcpd-dnsmasq in the bug report... | 08:51 |
| mss | sure .... will do ... but will look to you for help as this is the first time I would be doing it for any FOSS .... | 08:53 |
| alkisg | OK. Go here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+filebug | 08:53 |
| mss | would it be a documentation bug ? | 08:53 |
| alkisg | I think you'll need to create a launchpad account | 08:53 |
| alkisg | There's no ltsp-docs package published yet, so I'd file it under ltsp... | 08:54 |
| mss | submitted bug | 09:18 |
| mss | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/428760 | 09:18 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 428760 in ltsp "LTSP client autologin does not work with dnsmasq as DHCP server" [Undecided,New] | 09:18 |
| alkisg | Nice. I'll try to upload a proposed dnsmasq.conf into it later in the day. | 09:20 |
| alkisg | You'll be notified by email | 09:20 |
| mss | thanks for your help .. I will check out your suggsted changes .... | 09:21 |
