[03:38] hey Zarrku [03:39] on http://edubuntu.org/documentation there is a howto on how to install edubuntu 10.10 with ltsp [03:39] (http://edubuntu.org/documentation/10.10/installation-guide) [03:39] there's some ltsp-specific pages too for once it's installed [03:39] vmlintu: if you have ideas, now's a good time to post them to the list or somewhere they can be raked together for UDS [03:40] vmlintu: I have some ideas that are being formed in my head and stgraber has some too, and there's a todo list of things that need to be fixed or done that didn't get done this cycle [03:40] and then there's all the hundreds of thousands of bugs in launchpad :) [05:47] Hi all [05:49] Is the best way to lockdown a users desktop, more specifically their wallpaper, still by using Gconf? [10:14] hi all [10:17] hi all. [10:19] When installing I did not enable the Multiverse which I see now is a problem since I cannot install FlashPlugin without the Multiverse being enabled. I then used Update Manager to enable Multiverse and reloaded Update Manager etc and then from the Software Center tried to install the FlashPlugin but it spits out an error.. . [10:20] "Package dependencies cannot be resolved. This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable..." [10:20] any ideas? [10:21] Furthermore additional Details: "Unmet dependencies. flashplugin-installer: Depends: ia32-libs (>=2.2ubuntu18) but is not going to be installed." [11:41] highvoltage: ltsp clustering is something that I'm wondering the most [11:42] highvoltage: We've been testing new ltsp clustering based on puavo. Basically it works by broadcasting load information to ltsp network and every server then can act as a load balancer. All thin client information is stored in ldap and there are no static IPs anywhere. dhcpd finds the thin client name from ldap using mac address and then dynamically updates the IP to all bind processes in the cluster. This way we get a cluster where all [11:42] IP address are dynamic, but names are static. Basically home directories are the only single-point-of-failure. === JasonO_ is now known as JasonO === JasonO_ is now known as JasonO [17:13] highvoltage: Send to you an email [17:25] Okay I am using LTSP and it will not let log in with my admin user on he server [17:25] the [17:25] it tries to check the users name and password and then says can not contact server and reboots [17:26] which makes no sence because it is pulling the dumb terminal from the server [17:31] Zarrku: try those 2 commands: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys && sudo ltsp-update-image [17:41] The dumb terminal said, no responce from server restarting [17:41] Did you try those 2 commands on the server, and then rebooted your terminal? [17:42] did both commands, but did not reboot [17:42] doing it now [17:48] okay did the reboot and commands and still no the same result [17:48] hmm [17:52] Zarrku: follow these steps to get a local shell on the terminal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ClientTroubleshooting#Using%20a%20shell%20SCREEN [17:53] From that shell, try: ssh admin@server [17:53] And see if you get any warnings there. [18:09] when trying to save the [Default] SCREEN_02=shell SCREEN_07=ldm into the its.conf it says could not find the file [18:10] You need to create it. sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf [18:10] And those are 3 different lines, don't put them in 1 line [18:19] I'm sorry alkisg, my knowledge of linux is limited [18:20] to create a new file what would I need to do? [18:22] would it be pico /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf [18:23] Zarrku: I wrote the command above [18:24] (08:10:19 μμ) alkisg: You need to create it. sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf [18:24] then save the file [18:24] then add the code to the file and save it again [18:24] Yes [18:25] In 3 lines, not in 1 line [18:32] Okay I created the file [18:34] when I launched i did control alt f and got prompted for a user name and password [18:34] when I launched i did control alt f2 and got prompted for a user name and password [18:35] I entered it it gave me a command line [18:35] loue@gblinux 6$ [18:36] ^$ [18:37] I will know test the ctrl, alt f7 [18:38] (07:53:00 μμ) alkisg: From that shell, try: ssh admin@server [18:38] (07:53:08 μμ) alkisg: And see if you get any warnings there. [18:40] could not resolved host name server [18:41] hey everyone [18:41] name of service not known [18:41] hi highvoltage [18:41] Zarrku: that's very wrong, shouldn't ever happen in ltsp. You probably did some step wrong. [18:41] vmlintu: that sounds interesting, would be nice to see what stgraber thinks of it [18:41] Did you do that in the console, in alt+ctrl+f2 ? [18:42] yes [18:42] doctormo: got it, it's very nice! [18:43] Zarrku: in that console, try: cat /etc/hosts [18:43] You don't see a line with "server" there? [18:44] That points to your server IP? [18:49] no such file or directory [18:52] So I will need to rebuild ltsp [18:52] hmm [18:52] I don't think so, the client wouldn't boot without those [18:52] You're probably doing something very wrong, while following that wiki page [18:52] Don't know what, though [18:55] I will have to get someone to look at my setup [19:02] when I do sudo ltsp-update-image, i noitce it updated the x64 bit image [19:03] I am using a i386 image [19:03] for 32 bit workstations [19:05] Zarrku: then try: ltsp-update-image --arch=i386 [19:10] highvoltage: not on jabber ? [19:10] hey LaserJock, back on IRC ? :) [19:10] stgraber: oh, just a little [19:11] stgraber: just saying hello to old friends for a bit [19:11] :-) [19:11] stgraber: I am, I just looked for you there and saw you're off-line [19:12] * highvoltage checks if restarting empathy does the trick [19:13] so is Edubuntu looking to be in good shape for release? [19:14] to be honest I expected it to be worse at this stage judging by how things went through the alphas [19:14] it came together really well towards the end [19:14] releases seem to do that [19:14] I always think Ubuntu is going to be crap around Alpha 3/Beta [19:15] but then it pulls through by release time :-) [19:15] how's that online preview thingy (can't remember the name) doing? [19:15] there's WebLive for full or partial sessions and then there's test drive that starts it from software center [19:16] it's quite popular, it's had more than 15000 users so far [19:16] stgraber will have more up-to-date stats :) [19:16] highvoltage: http://paste.ubuntu.com/597033/ [19:17] highvoltage: 26486 sessions at this time [19:17] 10275 over the last month [19:17] * highvoltage will start saying over 25k then instead of over 15k [19:18] thanks :) [19:18] at this rate, you should be able to say over 30k by the end of the week :) [19:18] ugh [19:18] daily is over 2500 users [19:18] I hope that fixes the issue [19:19] I doubt it though [19:19] stgraber: wow! [19:19] might have to do a remote assistance with some who knows linux (edubuntu) better than me [19:19] stgraber: is that translating into installs, can you tell? [19:20] that's the usual issue, weblive is centralized so I can get some pretty good stats, but we really have no idea how many installs we have :( [19:21] looking at the stats for edubuntu.org since weblive got released, I'd think it made a difference yes [19:21] as people no longer need to download a DVD to test it [19:21] and we got a lot of publicity when weblive got released as it got on a lot of news websites, all of them suddenly talking about edubuntu [19:22] for now I try to always have weblive features available for Edubuntu users first (as with the software center integration) so I can do some lower-scale testing and try to get more people to use Edubuntu [19:22] then once it's proven stable and is well known, I can have it applied to Ubuntu [19:23] I'm a bit scared of the load I'll get on weblive at release time though :) will be a pretty good stress-test I guess :) [19:31] # # Default LTSP dhcpd.conf config file. # authoritative; subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.10.20 192.168.10.250; option domain-name "example.com"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255; option routers 192.168.10.1; # next-server 192.168.0.1; # get-lease-hostnames true; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i [19:31] " { filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0"; } else { filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img"; } } [19:32] do you see anything wrong with this? [21:06] can someone direct me to a guide on setting up ltsp for the first time. also maybe someone could look at my edubuntu setup via teamviewer to see if i have made a mistake in my setup [21:07] I have followed the youtube guide on setting up ltsp on edubuntu. The video is called installing ltsp on edubuntu 10.04. [21:09] highvoltage: just finished upgrade testing from maverick to natty. Wallpaper is fine and there was no upgrade error or prompt during the whole process. [21:21] can someone direct me to a guide on setting up ltsp for the first time. also maybe someone could look at my edubuntu setup via teamviewer to see if i have made a mistake in my setup [21:21] can someone direct me to a guide on setting up ltsp for the first time. also maybe someone could look at my edubuntu setup via teamviewer to see if i have made a mistake in my setup [21:21] I have followed the youtube guide on setting up ltsp on edubuntu. The video is called installing ltsp on edubuntu 10.04. [21:26] next-server 192.168.0.1; should probably be equal to 192.168.10.1 [21:27] stgraber: yay \o/ [21:30] so you think that is why i can not talk to the server [21:41] Zarrku: did you say that your client boots fine, and you see the logon screen, but then you get the message about "server not responding, restarting"? [21:42] yes [21:42] that is correct [21:43] OK, I can take a look at your setup with vnc if you want [21:43] However I am reloading the OS because of a corruption [21:43] Ah, ok then [21:43] starting over [21:43] the guide i used im not sure if it was a good guide [21:44] it was a youtube video called installing ltsp on edubuntu 10.4 [21:44] I follow everystep in the video, but kept getting the above problem [21:45] I haven't seen that video, can't comment on it. [21:46] But, I will need help as soon as I get it re-installed [21:47] should not talk long on a sixcore server [21:48] its alot different from our centos setup we've had inthe past, so I am having to learn some new stuff
