wima1since we upgraded our application servers to 9.04, we have some issues with pulse. The pulse daemon on the client seems to die quite often.13:18
wima1Is this problem familiar to anyone?13:18

msaul_I installed LTSP Ubuntu 9.10, and DNS is not working  could anyone offer suggestions for fix?14:38
msaul_I can ssh into a system with static IP address14:38
msaul_When I use "dig" tool, it indicates "Connection Timed Out: no servers could be reached...14:39
alkisgDNS? LTSP doesn't handle dns... it's your responsibility..14:40
alkisgDo you mean the thin clients? the server? How do you get your ip addresses? etc etc...14:40
msaul_the server14:40
alkisg2 nic server?14:40
msaul_wasn't able to update software on server14:41
msaul_yes 2 nic server14:41
msaul_not worried about thin client right now..14:41
alkisgWell, the nic that is facing the internet is not handled by ltsp at all14:41
msaul_I know that14:41
alkisgHow is that managed? with network manager?14:41
msaul_I was able to SSH to another server with static IP address14:42
msaul_It is a wired ethernet card14:42
msaul_I think it is the network manager (applet on panel)14:42
alkisgOK, but how does it get an ip address? With network manager? with /etc/network/interfaces? with a static ip? with dhcp?14:42
msaul_dhcp14:42
alkisgThen it's a problem with your "outer" dhcp server, it's not sending a dns setting14:43
msaul_What would be the fix? Is there a file to edit?14:44
alkisgWhere is the dhcp server? is it a router?14:44
msaul_Yes, I have a router14:44
alkisgThen it may be a setting on the router14:45
msaul_How come, when I install Ubuntu 9.10, Mythbuntu 9.10 no problem, but now a problem when I install alternate Ubuntu with LTSP/14:45
msaul_SHould I just reinstall the alternate Ubuntu CD with LTSP?14:46
alkisgCan you describe your network setup?14:46
alkisgNo, don't reinstall for a simple ip problem...14:46
alkisgE.g. do you have both server nics connected to the same switch?14:46
msaul_no14:46
msaul_This was fresh install, nic card to Internet, other nic card (eventually connected to switch) not connected yet14:47
alkisgrouter => switch => server eth0 => server eth1 => switch => thin clients ???14:47
msaul_eth014:47
msaul_for the internet connection14:47
alkisgCan you upload some files to pastebin?14:47
alkisgcat /etc/network/interfaces14:47
msaul_and remember, I can still connect to outside server using static IP address!14:48
msaul_which ones would you like me to upload?14:48
alkisgls  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/14:48
alkisgcat /etc/resolv.conf14:48
alkisg(the output of the instructions I'm typing)14:48
alkisgsudo ifconfig -a14:48
alkisgsudo dhclient eth014:48
msaul_I forgot how to upload to pastebin...14:48
alkisgGo to pastebin.ubuntu.com and paste the output there..14:49
alkisgand then paste the URL here14:49
msaul_OK, well get back to you (will take some time)...14:49
alkisgsure :)14:50
alkisgmsaul_: ah, to temporarily solve the problem,14:50
alkisgyou can do: sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf14:50
alkisgand put a dns server there14:50
alkisgThat way you'll be able to copy/paste stuff...14:50
msaul_There was one there already, and matched what was on my other Ubuntu system that is correctly using DNS...14:51
msaul_i.e. relating to the /etc/resolv.conf file14:51
alkisgAh. OK, we'll troubleshoot it after you post the output of the commands...14:52
alkisgmsaul_: would you prefer remote access, i.e. giving me a shell in that pc? it'll be faster for both of us :)14:54
sbalneavMorning all14:56
msaul_OK, I will start uploading to pastebin (note: command ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ had no stdout)...15:05
alkisgmsaul_: ok no problem there, you just don't have any system connections set15:07
msaul_What would be the procedure for that?15:07
alkisgRight click on the network manager, manage connections, make a connection, click "available to all users", and save15:08
msaul_OK, I will try that OK, back in a few...15:09
alkisgmsaul_: no don't try it, just send the output of the commands...15:11
msaul_I assume network manager should be an applet on the panel - correct?15:14
msaul_I just see one applet for the connection, and when I double-click it, it shows that wired network is not being managed...15:14
msaul_I don't see the network manager as an applet to add into the panel...15:15
msaul_I remember from other verions there are two applets, one being the network manager... doesn't seem to appear on my panel...15:16
msaul_(by default anyways)...15:16
msaul_alkisg - I went to network manager, there was already a connection labelled auto eth0 that had "avaialble to all users".15:24
msaul_Do you want me to still add in other connection?15:24
alkisgmsaul_: I'm waiting for the files :)15:24
alkisgDon't add any connections...15:25
alkisg(05:11:07 μμ) alkisg: msaul_: no don't try it, just send the output of the commands...15:25
msaul_I already posted them... or I though I did...15:25
msaul_You mean the several commands that you asked me to upload to pastebin? I did that 8 minutes ago...15:26
msaul_Do you want me to upload again?15:26
alkisgNo, but you should paste the URL here so that I can see the output...15:26
alkisgE.g. http://pastebin.com/qeworjiqw15:27
msaul_Sorry, getting confused, that URL doesn't work... I posted to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ as instructed... (poster: msaul)15:31
alkisg(04:49:09 μμ) alkisg: Go to pastebin.ubuntu.com and paste the output there..15:31
alkisg(04:49:14 μμ) alkisg: and then paste the URL here15:31
alkisgIt's the second step :)15:31
msaul_I copied and pasted output from those commands to the pastebin and posted...15:37
alkisgmsaul_: I can't see the output if I don't know the link...15:38
alkisgWhen you paste something to pastebin, it replies with a URL15:38
alkisgYou give that URL to the person you're talking with (=me), so that he can see the output15:38
alkisgLet me demonstrate15:38
alkisgHere: http://paste.ubuntu.com/311607/15:39
alkisgI'm giving you this URL, where you can go and see my "output"15:39
alkisgIf you don't give me the url of the things you've posted, I can't see them...15:39
msaul_http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/311608/15:40
alkisgmsaul_: Nice. What was the output of "dhclient eth0" ?15:40
msaul_http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/311610/15:41
msaul_That may have been issuing just dhclient instead of dhclient eth0 .... but seems to display same type of information...15:46
alkisgmsaul_: so both of your subnets are at 192.168.0.x ?15:46
msaul_yes15:46
alkisgThat's the problem15:46
sbalneavOoooh15:46
sbalneavthat's bad :)15:46
alkisgYou need to change either the router subnet or the thin clients subnet15:46
msaul_Which file is that again to edit? (It's been a while...)15:47
alkisgYou can do that from the router web interface15:48
sbalneavOK, off for a doctor's appointment. :(15:49
msaul_Will this happen, even if there is no cable connected up to eth1?15:50
msaul_Can't this be edited in the dhcpd.conf file?15:50
msaul_I'm wondering why this is happenning from a simple install of Ubuntu 9.10 LTSP when I haven't even hooked up the thin clients?15:51
alkisgBecause you use the same subnet in both NICs15:52
msaul_But I didn't set anything, the system must have be default...15:52
alkisgIf you want to change the ltsp-facing interface, you'll need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf15:52
alkisgYes, you happen to have the same default in your router as the ltsp default15:53
* alkisg has some work to do now, bbl...15:53
msaul_Is that a mistake, or is that just the way it comes by default?15:53
alkisgIt's the way it comes by default15:54
alkisgIt isn't a bug15:54
alkisgYou're welcome15:59
msaul_thanks15:59
msaul_just juggling15:59
alkisg;)15:59
msaul_(my son's at home with flu)15:59
msaul_daughter had H1N1, but better...16:00
alkisgOoops16:00
msaul_that's OK... dont' worry about it you did know...16:00
alkisgHow long did she took to get better? A week?16:00
msaul_You are being very patient with an oldtimer :)16:00
msaul_I'm going to send up to paste bin contents of files to (before/after) to see if you agree for me to set correct subnet, then I will make fix and see if that works...16:01
msaul_OK, here is the current /etc/network/interfaces file: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/311630/16:06
msaul_I should modify it to something like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/311632/ - am I correct?16:06
msaul_I should change it to something like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/311634/  - am I correct?16:08
msaul_alkisg - yes. It took a week for her to get better16:09
msaul_If all goes well, I will be able to get my shot in March 2010...16:10
msaul_A lot of lines and confusion regarding the flu shots up here in Canada...16:10
msaul_That did the trick - thanks!16:21
msaul_Thanks for the great support! This is a good IRC resource. Just another reason I love to use Ubuntu.16:22
msaul_I have created some resources FYI: Ubuntu Guide (teaching point of view): http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Guide16:23
msaul_This is my blog: http://murraysaul.wordpress.com/       (including my hobbies...)16:24
msaul_The only thing I notice in my LTSP version of Ubuntu 9.10 is that the desktop is "black" regardless of the background art, but when I set the panel to "transparent", they display the correct background art (not black like the main desktop)...16:25
msaul_bye..16:40
Ahmuck_someone needs to plug the Aaport bug19:10
Ahmuck_it's getting annoying to get those messags19:11
jbichaum, which messags?19:12
NokioHi all i am Installing Edubuntu 9.10 ltsp mode, I am at the "constructing ltsp chroot environement" and it says that an error occured that prevent him from building the chroot environement. Thanks in advance for the help19:30
jbichadoes the rest of the installation still complete?19:31
Nokiowell i can move pass that part of the install and yes the rest of the installation would complete19:31
Nokiobut why would the chroot environement fail to build at the install.... and will it fail post install ?!19:33
jbichaI think others in this channel have more experience with this bug than me, but I think that's a known error but doesn't necessarily mean that the chroot won't work19:34
Nokiookay so passing over it during the install and try to rebuild it post install would work.. ill try that thanks19:35
NokioIf anyone else in the channel as an idea in the mean time ill listening :p19:35
Nokiothanks jbicha19:35
jbichanp, the only time I installed ltsp was from an already installed Ubuntu19:35
Nokiook19:36
