[14:46] <RuralZA> Hi guys, anyone able to shed some light on my earlier problem I posted regarding using Lubuntu as a fat client on Edubuntu and it fails after login?
[15:02] <highvoltage> hey RuralZA
[15:02] <RuralZA> Hey Highvoltage! Good to see your still around. Prefer me to talk in prv?
[15:02] <highvoltage> RuralZA: have you enabled the root account in the ltsp chroot?
[15:03] <highvoltage> RuralZA: might help to check if the network connection is indeed lost in the terminal
[15:03] <RuralZA> After login in the terminal terminates as well. Just the cursor showning
[15:04] <highvoltage> hmm, I'm not 100% sure what the /right/ way would be to fix that, but I'd probably just uninstall network manager (or disable it) in the fat client chroot
[15:05] <RuralZA> Did that then ran ltsp-update-image and ssh-key. Same effect
[15:06]  * highvoltage creates a lubuntu fat client in VM
[15:07] <RuralZA> Main reason for going through this exercise is that 10 of our new terminals are Nvidia bases and the glx drivers didn't want to play nice with a edubuntu thin client setup
[15:08] <RuralZA> Hence the choice to do a fat lubuntu client. Glx drivers installed with, with me now being able to see the login screen. Without the glx drivers the ION machines just display garble
[15:21]  * highvoltage hopes this chroot finishes building before the vm runs out of space
[15:26] <RuralZA> Haha
[15:31] <RuralZA> Busy building a Xubuntu fat client as well quickly. Have no objections to use Xubuntu if its able to load on the terminal
[15:41] <highvoltage> I don't have trusty-security locally so that's taking a bit to download
[15:42] <RuralZA> Haha I have nothing locally so it's a download each time
[15:43] <RuralZA> Luckily a 10mb line.. so it could have been worse
[15:43] <highvoltage> ah you can also pass --keep-packages to ltsp-build-client to keep a copy of the packages
[15:48] <RuralZA> Will make a note of that
[15:52] <RuralZA> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/1330252  Could be the cause. Going to test it after the Xubuntu client builds
[16:16] <highvoltage> RuralZA: I did a "rm /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40-ltsp-client", then a ltsp-update-image and then lubuntu loaded fine
[16:16] <highvoltage> RuralZA: so either that script or the lubuntu session needs some update (I can't check now though)
[16:21] <RuralZA> Highvoltage: Thats more than what I could have asked for. Busy building it now and this should work fine for now.
[16:21] <RuralZA> The help is much appreciated. Just going to test it tonight then will deploy the new terminals at the school tomorrow.
[16:22] <highvoltage> cool
[16:24] <RuralZA> Highvoltage: Have some craft beers we brewed. Owe you some
[16:26] <highvoltage> RuralZA: heh thanks, I stopped drinking beer though
[16:26] <highvoltage> RuralZA: pay back by helping out some other lost souls when they come by in #edubuntu :)
[16:27] <RuralZA> Will do!
[17:01] <RuralZA> highvoltage: Was the "rm /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40-ltsp-client" all you did? Tried it and I'm still getting the same problem
[17:20] <highvoltage> RuralZA: yep
[17:20] <highvoltage> RuralZA: well followed by ltsp-update-client of course
[18:57] <RuralZA> No heck, just created a new vm, new updated Ubuntu and fresh install of ltsp standalone. Ran build-client lubuntu-desktop, rm 40-ltsp-client updated the image and still the same thing
[18:57] <RuralZA> Painful
[19:29] <highvoltage> ah that's odd
[19:29] <highvoltage> I'm sure I didn't change anything else
[19:29] <highvoltage> RuralZA: what version of edubuntu/ubuntu?
[19:30] <highvoltage> RuralZA: btw did you remember to choose the lubuntu session at ldm? (I assume so, but just checking)
[20:09] <RuralZA> ubuntu 14.04 amd64 and also just checked the session and it was set to default. After I changed it to Lubuntu it logged in. Feel like such a clutz for overlooking that
[20:10] <RuralZA> Updating /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf now to make lubuntu the default session
[20:44] <weller> could anyone help me troubleshoot an edubuntu install?
[20:48] <RuralZA> weller: What seems to be the problem?
[20:50] <weller> im running a box with an intel core 2 quad 8gb of ram and an nvidia geforce gt120 and everytime i try to install it after i try to partition the drive or erase everything and install i get a window that pops open and it only has  questions marks and an okay option i am running a mirrored bios raid but it does see my 1 TB disk
[20:51] <RuralZA> And have you tried running it without the raid?
[20:53] <weller> i cant turn the raid off the only sata mode available is raid if you disable sata you can disable raid but that is the only way idk if there is a way to run non-raided disks in raid mode?
[21:08] <RuralZA> There should be a few options available for running your disks in. If the bios is set to raid you wont be able to use the disks without first creating arrays for them.
[21:10] <weller> i guess i might need to update my bios or something because my sata controller only has a raid option in the bios when i have them in a mirrored raid they are seen by the installer but it wont install just pop the box
[21:10] <RuralZA> Your problem does sound RAID related though. Do you know what the controller model is?
[21:10] <RuralZA> Yeah it's probably looking for drivers. What version of edubuntu are you using
[21:10] <RuralZA> ?
[21:11] <weller> 14.04 lts
[21:11] <weller> im looking for  my card now
[21:11] <weller> i just got this PC yesterday from a friend lol i dont know a lot about it yet
[21:12] <RuralZA> Might be easier to get the model number off the motherboard and just look at the specs on the makers website
[21:12] <weller> and idk if it is an actual card the only pci card is my nvidia card i think the raid is built into the sata controller
[21:12] <weller> ok ill do that and see what i can see i think a bios update might do the trick to
[21:13] <RuralZA> Goodluck :)
[21:14] <weller> thanks
[21:37] <weller> pretty sure i found the solution to my problem if anyone is interested
