[18:22] I answered in #ltsp [18:45] thank you [20:12] Hi [20:12] I'm trying to get the FreeNX server on my server. [20:12] I followed the straightforward directions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [20:13] but when I got to starting it: "sudo /etc/init.d/freenx-server start" as per the directions I got this: [20:15] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [20:15] utility, e.g. service freenx-server start [20:15] That's just a warning, it shouldn't affect anythin [20:15] g [20:15] But neatx is easier to install, if you don't have some specific reason to prefer freenx... [20:16] Anyway, since you already came that far, what does this tell you? sudo invoke-rc.d freenx-server status [20:16] Hard to know when things are a warning and when a problem... I'll try... [20:18] ... failed: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479016/ [20:19] Freenx was converted to upstart? nice... [20:19] Try: sudo status freenx-server [20:19] status: Unknown job: freenx-server [20:20] I also tried rebooting... [20:20] dpkg -L freenx-server | grep init [20:20] What does this tell you? [20:20] dpkg -L freenx-server | grep init [20:21] oops--wrong place :D [20:21] :) [20:22] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479017/ [20:22] and the "init" part is in red on each line... [20:23] What about this: sudo start freenx-server [20:25] Unknown job: freenx-server [20:26] Hmmm that doesn't sound good. I haven't tried installing freenx to lucid yet, but according to your dpkg -L, that should work... [20:30] alkisg: arrrg! looks like I spaced a step in the install directions--I'll do and get back... [20:30] (installing neatx is just 2 commands with no configuration at all, that's why i prefer it :)) [20:35] I'm feeling that right now... [20:36] I tried to do the 'missed step': sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install [20:37] and got the message 'No such file or directory'. So I went and checked it out, sure enough, nothing by that name though a number of 'nx...' objects. [20:54] dgroos1: no idea, as I said I haven't tried installing freenx on lucid, but I have a few minutes for vnc-based help if you want... [21:25] alkisg: just got back and saw your offer. Thanks, I've got some more things to try--seems like another person had a bad install of the sw and reinstalled and it worked. I'll let you know. [21:49] alkisg: sure enough, the problem was a missing script file in the package. I'll note that on the wiki page as well as where to download it. [21:49] Eew... better file a bug report about this [22:16] NX is working great! I love it. Filed bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/freenx-server/+bug/618906 and improved the ubuntu wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [22:16] Launchpad bug 618906 in FreeNX Server "freenx package incomplete in lucid" [Undecided,New] [22:22] Which script was missing? [22:25] nm - i just read the bug report :) [22:29] alkisg: now on to installing your uber italc script :) [22:29] Hmm? italc? [22:29] * alkisg stopped using italc about a year ago... [22:29] your italc replacement... [22:30] the one you gave me instructions to install on a june 16 list-serve post... [22:30] Ah. Nice, if you want any help ping me [22:31] I read these directions: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ts.sch.gr-ppa-lucid.list\ /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list.d BUT... [22:31] there was a line break and didn't know what the \ / was :) [22:31] help? [22:31] That \ shouldn't be there [22:32] 'k [22:32] thanks [22:33] Btw, we have some programs in our ppa - you'll get automatic updates for them. E.g. we have neatx in that ppa (so there was no need to add the freenx repository, just an apt-get install neatx-server would be enough), some fixes for ltsp etc [22:34] alas... I show have installed your scripts *before* adding nx... [22:35] Ah now i got what the \ was, it's used when a command breaks on 2 lines [22:35] so e.g. this: echo \ [22:35] hi [22:35] is the same as: echo hi [22:36] programming... [22:39] OK upon installing the scripts I got this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479086/ should I be concerned? [22:40] Yes - we're using dnsmasq instead of dhcp3-server [22:41] To make ltsp installation easier (e.g. use only 1 nic instead of 2, no need for NATting etc) and to use the dhcp server of the router [22:42] You have an already working ltsp setup, right? [22:44] Yes, 64 bit server, 32 bit clients, 2 nics (actually, I've got 3 nics, hope to bind the two giga nics to be 1 as this is for 40 clients or so). [22:44] Are they pci-e nics or just pci nics? [22:45] not sure... how can I find out? [22:45] (also, we don't use 64-bit servers as they're not recommented by ubuntu - flash problems etc) [22:45] will that be an issue? [22:46] I mean, using your scripts on this 64 bit server? [22:46] With sch-scripts? I don't think so, I suppose they'll work fine [22:46] What are your client specs? cpu/ram? [22:47] most are p4, 512 RAM, at least 1.8 GHz [22:47] Are you planning on operating them as thin clients or as fat? [22:47] Also have P3 with 512 RAM and 933 MHz [22:48] I used them last year as localapps, was going to continue this. [22:48] ok [22:51] Run this command to prevent dnsmasq from messing with your dhcp3-server: sudo dpkg-divert --divert /etc/dnsmasq.diverted --rename /etc/init.d/dnsmasq [22:53] Did it. Thanks! I'll continue on with the directions upon returning from an errand. I'll probably have questions for you... tomorrow your time? [22:54] Sure, good luck
