sbalneavpong02:18
dgroosgood eve02:18
dgroosYou were right about the space in the login name.02:19
dgroosDid you see the comments I made soon after you left?02:20
sbalneavSomething about the thin client failing to boot?02:23
dgroosI'll copy and paste...02:24
dgroos(from earlier, right after testing...) wow-- I put a space before the username and login seemed to work initially, but it stalled before the login screen appeared.02:24
dgroos(continues...) I did, "sudo du -sh *" inside this users home folder.  I watch the dev directory quickly grow in size.  It started at 176 KB, did it again 45 seconds later and it was 100 MB.  Did it a minute or two later and it was 548 MB, a minute or so later and it was 921 MB. And there it stays.02:25
dgroos(and ends...) On the client it now says, "An add-in card in the system appeared to not work correctly on the last boot attempt...  (then there's a note that says to push F1 to boot).  Which I did, then it didn't login and instead went to the screen it normally shows when the thin client fails to boot.02:25
dgroosthat's it.02:25
sbalneavSo, the users login is hosed is what you're saying?02:32
dgrooshmmm... not sure how to answer that.02:41
dgroosdo you mean that if I tried to login as that user again, I wouldn't be able to?02:42
dgroosit could be.  I think you are right.  I could try and login through ssh w/his user info.  would that be useful?  I don't think that's what you mean though.02:44
sbalneavWell, I mean, removing something from the users home dir shouldn't cause the thin client to have trouble booting.02:49
sbalneavso if you're not able to log in as that user, then the user itself's been hosed somehow.02:49
dgroosI know that I will be able to log in after removing the fd directory, it worked fine before.02:51
dgroosI'm not sure if he can log in *until* I remove that rogue directory.02:51
sbalneavright, so remove it.02:53
dgroosFor sure.02:54
sbalneavdid you put the space before or after the name?02:54
dgroosbefore02:54
sbalneavand, please paste the sources.list that's in your chroot.02:54
dgroosI'll get it.  I've got to go vpn a moment...02:55
sbalneavk02:55
dgroos_OK here it is: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/342326/  this is the source list at: /etc/apt/sources.list  this is NOT the source list at opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list.  Right?03:07
sbalneavno, I want the one in /opt/ltsp...03:08
dgroos_http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/342329/  Shouldn't it be the same?03:11
sbalneavwell ideally.03:13
=== dgroos_ is now known as dgroos
sbalneavdid you update the packages in the chroot and rebuild?  because stgraber fixed this bug I thought.03:14
dgroosahhh... update in the --chroot--?  how again does one do that?03:15
dgroosisn't it just sudo apt-get upate/upgrade then sudo ltsp-update-image?03:20
sbalneavShould be.03:22
sbalneavchroot /opt/ltsp/i38603:22
dgroosI did do that, then.  You aren't saying chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 is some command?03:23
sbalneavyeah03:25
sbalneavthat's how you switch into the chroot03:25
sbalneavchroot /opt/ltsp/i38603:25
sbalneavapt-get update03:25
sbalneavapt-get upgrade03:25
sbalneavexit03:26
sbalneavltsp-update-image03:26
dgroosDo I sudo to get into chroot? su?03:26
sbalneavsudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i38603:26
sbalneavLooks like *SOMEONE* hasn't been reading the docs :)03:26
dgroosMy brain is basically spaghetti now, actually for some time :)03:27
sbalneavhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UpdatingChroot03:28
sbalneavThat's probably your problem.  the fix is in the chroot03:28
sbalneavso if you haven't updated the chroot, you haven't picked up stgrabers fix yet.03:29
dgroosThanks for all this.  I'll do it tonight and have it ready for tomorrow morning.03:29
dgroosI'm going to write this into my blog--I'll probably find I already wrote it a year ago :(  should have anyway.03:30
sbalneavdgroos: Where's yer blog?03:42
dgroosWell, it's in a similar state to my brain, but here it is... http://groosd.blogspot.com03:43
dgroosI tried to do the above procedure but got these errors: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/342343/03:44
sbalneavgot a valid resolv.conf in your chroot?03:45
dgroosI'm looking at the docs link and see it says a couple of different things for example it says to 'mount -t proc proc /proc  it also talks about...03:45
dgroosI'll check03:45
dgrooslooks like there are lots of /home/username/cow/etc/resolv.conf is that right?03:47
dgroosand I see there is one in the opt/ltsp/i386/etc/resolv.conf03:48
dgrooscheck this latter one?03:48
sbalneavyeah03:48
sbalneavsince, when you're in the chroot command, that's the one it's going to use.03:49
dgroosright.  makes sense.03:50
sbalneavbasically, you should cp /etc/resolv.conf /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/resolv.conf03:50
dgrooschecked it out. it's wack.03:50
sbalneavthere you go.03:50
dgroosit's got the ip of when I had it in my house this summer!03:50
dgroosfor nameserver, what do I put?03:51
sbalneavbasically, you should cp /etc/resolv.conf /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/resolv.conf03:51
dgroosMuch better!03:54
dgroosstill some errors--GPG errors-- NO_PUBKEY03:55
sbalneavthat;s fine, it should still upgrade the packages.03:57
sbalneavso the update then the upgrade03:58
sbalneavand when it's done, type "exit"03:58
dgroosGreat.  It's in process... again, thanks a bundle.  btw--did you see your name on the blog?04:02
sbalneavNo, lemme look04:04
sbalneavWas it something like "That Fr*ggin sbalneav *sshole..." :)04:04
dgrooswell, I used exclamation marks instead of asterisks ;)04:07
dgroosActually, as you can see I've not done much of anything on the blog since mid summer I'm so busy chasing my tail, but there is the 'lick and a promise' registered there :)04:08
sbalneavheh04:08
sbalneavso when the update's done, then do the exit, ltsp-update-image, and voila04:09
dgroosam doing now... there were a few errors hope not big ones...04:11
sbalneavquick way to tell is if you retry the upgrade04:16
sbalneavif there's nothing left to upgrade then you're ok04:16
dgroosI'll check after the image is done updating...04:20
dgroossaid this when I tried to update-upgrade: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/342380/04:28
dgroosand said this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/342384/ when I said "Y" to the upgrade...04:31
sbalneavok, so exit out of the chroot04:35
sbalneavexport LTSP_HANDLE_DAEMONS=false04:36
sbalneavsorry, do this first04:36
sbalneavsudo -i04:36
sbalneavexport LTSP_HANDLE_DAEMONS=false04:36
sbalneavchroot /opt/ltsp/i38604:36
sbalneavmount -t proc proc /proc04:36
sbalneavapt-get upgrade04:37
sbalneavit should finish04:37
sbalneavumount /proc04:37
sbalneavexit04:37
sbalneavthen rebuild04:37
dgroosdoing it... and said that mount: proc already mounted whe I gove the mount command...04:37
dgroos*when I gave04:38
sbalneavok04:40
sbalneavso you had done the mount previously then?04:40
dgroosno, not knowingly at least.04:41
sbalneavdo this04:44
sbalneavcat /etc/ltsp_chroot04:45
sbalneavwhat do you get04:45
dgroosI'm still root... and I got 'no such file or directory'04:46
sbalneavthen you're NOT IN THE CHROOT!!!!!04:48
sbalneavexport LTSP_HANDLE_DAEMONS=false04:48
sbalneavchroot /opt/ltsp/i38604:48
sbalneavmount -t proc proc /proc04:48
sbalneavalt-get upgrade04:49
sbalneavit should finish04:49
sbalneavumount /proc04:49
sbalneavexit04:49
sbalneavI can't make this any simpler :)04:49
dgroosI'm guessing alt-get is to be apt-get?04:50
sbalneavyep04:52
dgroosIt went so smooooooth!  Nary a hiccup04:53
sbalneavthere you go.04:53
