=== obama is now known as vorian [04:51] Ninux Day 2009 Community Networks Meeting from 27 to 29 November 2009 to Defrag_, Rome, Italy, http://wiki.ninux.org/NinuxDay2009en [04:53] * HedgeMage peeks in [04:53] Anyone up for a game of Scrabble? [04:54] * HedgeMage == bored. [05:39] hey hey [05:44] hi, Ahmuck-Sr [05:44] what's up? [05:46] just chillin [05:46] looking at upgrading the lab [05:47] i've been a little more impressed with linux educational software holding childrens' attention [05:51] :) [05:51] what are your favorites? [06:13] 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 [06:21] Those are favorites here, as well. [06:24] where is here? [06:26] 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. [06:34] open a computer club up in your home or community room ? [06:36] 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. [07:04] sadly our librarys are anit-tech and anti-linux, but not anti-opensource [07:04] they get scared having all those linux people in the library [07:05] heh [07:06] Have a good night, Ahmuck-Sr -- I'm going to try to get some sleep [07:47] hello [07:48] I am trying to get autologin to work on edubuntu 8.04 clients .. [07:49] I have tried both MAC and Ip address in the lts.conf file .. but it does not work ... still get gui login .... [07:49] anything else I need to do ? [07:50] lts.conf [07:50] [default] [07:50] X_COLOR_DEPTH=16 [07:50] LDM_DIRECX=True [07:50] X_RAMPERC=80 [07:50] [00:17:A4:F4:7C:D5] [07:50] LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True [07:50] LDM_USERNAME=ltsp [07:50] LDM_PASSWORD=ltsp123 [07:50] [00:1A:4B:4B:F6:80] [07:50] LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True [07:50] LDM_USERNAME=ltsp001 [07:50] LDM_PASSWORD=manty10 [07:55] mss: get a local terminal, and see if those settings actually reach the clients [07:55] To get a local terminal, you can put SCREEN_02=shell and SCREEN_07=ldm in lts.conf [07:55] The command to see which settings reach the clients is: getltscfg -a [08:02] (where do you keep that lts.conf, btw? in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf ?) [08:06] yes .../var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf [08:09] * alkisg wonders if [mac-address] sections are case-sensitive and lowercase is needed... [08:09] well .. am not at the terminal location ...will check and let you know ...anything else I should look for ? [08:09] Still, the IPs should work [08:10] Another reason for lts.conf settings not having any effect is if the filename dhcp option isn't correct [08:10] The scripts work out the lts.conf path from the dhcp filename (usually /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0) [08:11] 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] Btw, LDM_DIRECX=True ==> LDM_DIRECTX=True [08:12] A "T" missing there. [08:12] 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 ? [08:13] yes ..I had corrected that DIRECTX spelling .. [08:13] oh .. now this is connected to dhcp ! [08:13] "True" is fine. [08:14] If you have remote access to your server, upload your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to pastebin... [08:14] 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] OK, your dnsmasq.conf then. [08:15] 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 [08:16] E.g. if you only send the filename for net:PXEClient, that would be the problem [08:21] is there a sample dnsmasq.conf file ? [08:24] I don't have remote access to server unfortunately [08:26] Yes, there is one [08:28] 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] So a bug report should be filed. [08:35] I did use /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/examples/dhcpd-dnsmasq to create the dnsmasq.conf file... [08:38] OK so that was the source of the problem [08:38] The string "Linux ipconfig" should be also checked for when sending the filename [08:49] alkisg, if it not too much trouble ....... could you let me know the corrections to be done , so I can check ? [08:50] mss, *without* checking, I'd say that you need to add the line: dhcp-vendorclass=pxe,"Linux ipconfig" [08:51] mss: Could you file a bug for it in launchpad? I could propose a new examples/dhcpd-dnsmasq in the bug report... [08:53] 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] OK. Go here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+filebug [08:53] would it be a documentation bug ? [08:53] I think you'll need to create a launchpad account [08:54] There's no ltsp-docs package published yet, so I'd file it under ltsp... [09:18] submitted bug [09:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/428760 [09:18] Launchpad bug 428760 in ltsp "LTSP client autologin does not work with dnsmasq as DHCP server" [Undecided,New] [09:20] Nice. I'll try to upload a proposed dnsmasq.conf into it later in the day. [09:20] You'll be notified by email [09:21] thanks for your help .. I will check out your suggsted changes .... === test2341234 is now known as PreSchoolTheExpl [12:13] Anyone online? [12:15] I'm representing a small private preschool "company" who is interested in Edubuntu run live from USB, does anyone know of any hackers for hire? :P [12:15] (from Sweden) [12:23] anyone?
