| CTek | Hi guys, can someone help me with som information regarding LTSP. Thank you | 12:03 |
| alkisg | CTek: what exactly? | 12:04 |
| alkisg | Is it not in the docs? | 12:04 |
| CTek | yes it is i did make it with a test enviroments on 2 laptops, 1 server second test client but here is my problem: | 12:16 |
| CTek | I have a eBox server in my organisation, It is based on Ubuntu, it can have boot biles sent via dhcp. and with LDAP integration this will be the perfct setup | 12:17 |
| CTek | so i want to make the eBox server also a LTSP server | 12:18 |
| CTek | It is possible to export the client image that i make to the ebox ? and work ? :) | 12:19 |
| alkisg | Why not just install ltsp-server in the ebox server? | 12:29 |
| CTek | this is what i want to do although the ebox server is a little complicated | 12:29 |
| CTek | it has a config system that is managed via web and any modification made by hand (touching files directly) could be overwrittne | 12:30 |
| CTek | so i have to do as little modifications to the structure as possible | 12:30 |
| alkisg | If you install ltsp-server (not standalone) it doesn't include a dhcp server | 12:30 |
| alkisg | So you can use the ebox dhcp server... | 12:30 |
| CTek | yes | 12:31 |
| CTek | i can specify to send a boot file | 12:31 |
| * alkisg doesn't get what the actual question is. | 12:31 | |
| CTek | the question(s): | 12:31 |
| CTek | 1 can i put a boot file made from another LTS server into a different bootp server and work ? | 12:32 |
| alkisg | Sure | 12:32 |
| CTek | 2 what are the special requirements to make on the server to make it work (instal LTSP server etc. | 12:33 |
| alkisg | The boot file is served with tftp | 12:33 |
| CTek | i mean can it serve the file with out the LTSP server ?? and the client will load the img ok ? | 12:33 |
| CTek | yes | 12:33 |
| alkisg | The "virtual disk" with nbd | 12:33 |
| alkisg | Do you want the first, the second, or both of them in the ebox server? | 12:34 |
| CTek | can you please explain a little more (like for a noob ) | 12:34 |
| CTek | i have parsed all the documentation but this porting thing is not "common knoledge" :) | 12:35 |
| alkisg | How ltsp works? Do read the docs, it explains the architecture quite qell | 12:35 |
| alkisg | *well | 12:35 |
| alkisg | https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ltsp/index.php?title=Ltsp_LtspDocumentationUpstream | 12:35 |
| alkisg | As far as I understand you, you don't need any porting at all | 12:36 |
| CTek | ? | 12:36 |
| alkisg | You just want to install ltsp-server in the ebox server... | 12:36 |
| CTek | yes, exactly | 12:36 |
| alkisg | That should be pretty straight forward... | 12:36 |
| CTek | another issue is that the ebox is a LDAP server aswell | 12:36 |
| CTek | ok here is a little short description of what i want to do: | 12:37 |
| CTek | 1 copy the boot file that i made to ebox bootp | 12:37 |
| alkisg | Replace that with "install ltsp-server and start from scratch" :) | 12:37 |
| alkisg | It'll be easier this way, you won't be mixed up :) | 12:38 |
| CTek | :)) | 12:38 |
| CTek | actually installing ltsp from scratch is simple :) | 12:38 |
| alkisg | Right | 12:38 |
| CTek | and will work out of the box | 12:38 |
| alkisg | So forget all about copying, you don't need it | 12:38 |
| alkisg | You just need to configure the ebox dhcp server to send a boot filename | 12:38 |
| CTek | ok... and ... i end up using 2 servers instead of 1 ... | 12:39 |
| CTek | i for dhcp and serves a bootp file that points to the second (LTSP) server | 12:39 |
| CTek | and no LDAP integration | 12:40 |
| CTek | :( | 12:40 |
| CTek | sorry, i have to run now for some time | 12:40 |
| alkisg | Erm, what? | 12:40 |
| alkisg | I obviously didn't understand what you want to do | 12:40 |
| alkisg | Come back later... :) | 12:40 |
| CTek | ok, i'll be back in a short while i hope :) | 12:41 |
| CTek | some admin task to do , Thank you for assistance, I'll shury return | 12:41 |
| alkisg | If you want the ltsp server to be a different server than the ebox server, then you just need "next-server" in the ebox dhcp server. | 12:42 |
| alkisg | No copying at all... | 12:42 |
| Ahmuck | need a bot that does !ltsp and points to the docs | 14:24 |

| highvoltage | alkisg: maybe keybuk still needs to update it | 20:37 |
| alkisg | Ah, here's the correct one, I've been monitoring duplicates etc: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/532047 | 20:38 |

| alkisg | Nah, it appears that there are at least 3 different issues with the same symptoms: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/529230 | 20:42 |
