|---|---|---|
| carsten | hi everyone. I'd installed latest edubuntu 12.04 as ltsp server on a server at our primary school. before we had edubuntu 10.10 running with ltsp, which worked fine. Now some of the older thin clients with pentium 2 CPUs hung up, after loading the initrd.img and the capslock and shiftlock LED are blinking. what can I do? this happens with the old config which I used on 10.10 and the problem exists with edubuntu standard config for | 15:35 |
| alkisg | carsten: your message was too big and it was cut in the middle at " with edubuntu standard config for" | 15:49 |
| alkisg | If you have very old CPUs that don't support the "cmov" instruction, you need 10.04, which supports it | 15:50 |
| alkisg | Also, if you're serving the -pae kernel, try the non-pae version | 15:50 |
| carsten | hi alkisg, my post ended with "with edubuntu standard config for ltsp. " :) | 15:56 |
| carsten | so I need to check if the Pentium 2 support the cmov instruction. how can I deal with the "non-pae" version? | 15:57 |
| alkisg | carsten: one quick way to test is to try to boot it with the edubuntu dvd | 15:58 |
| alkisg | If it at least goes up to the point where the ubuntu screen is shown, it's ok | 15:59 |
| alkisg | To see if you have the non-pae kernel or not, run: ls /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386 | 15:59 |
| carsten | I only see generic | 16:00 |
| carsten | vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic | 16:00 |
| alkisg | OK so yeah you might want to try booting it with a 10.04 chroot | 16:01 |
| cog | How do I get this junk off my screen? I tried to load egoboo in 12.04 & it slowed down tremendously, then I got a terminal up and killed the unresponsive game and now about 25% of my screen looks terrible. | 16:01 |
| alkisg | Or with a live cd | 16:01 |
| alkisg | cog: for generic ubuntu questions, try #ubuntu | 16:02 |
| carsten | alkisg: ok, so a solution would be, staying with edubuntu 12.04, install 10.04 in a virtual machine with ltsp server, generate i386 client image, copy it to the real server and run it? | 16:03 |
| alkisg | ...yeah, but you might need some nbd-server manual configuration | 16:03 |
| alkisg | Because in 10.04 it's using port 2000, and on 12.04 10809 | 16:04 |
| alkisg | Do you still have your old chroot? | 16:04 |
| carsten | alkisg: no :/ | 16:04 |
| alkisg | I think you can build one from 12.04 without a VM | 16:04 |
| carsten | alkisg: would be nice and faster ... | 16:05 |
| alkisg | Not sure about the syntax, maybe ltsp-build-client --dist=lucid | 16:05 |
| alkisg | carsten: for ltsp questions, #ltsp is better, we have factoids there, more people using ltsp etc | 16:05 |
| carsten | alkisg: thx :) | 16:06 |
| alkisg | np | 16:06 |
