Hi
velis 2017-01-30 04:51:00
alkis: ok, this is the point where I'm to stumped: I mounted the iSCSI partition (btrfs), but it's empty?!?!?
velis 2017-01-30 04:51:23
at this point I'm just scratching all of it and redoint the install
velis 2017-01-30 04:51:59
I will attempt your suggestions to see if I make it any further
ducasse 2017-01-30 04:53:10
velis: nfs would be a whole lot simpler, and more tested
velis 2017-01-30 04:53:37
but isn't nfs a network file protocol, such as SMB?
ducasse 2017-01-30 04:54:34
velis: yes, do you need block?
velis 2017-01-30 04:54:41
yes, wikipedia suggests it is: I'm aiming for a block protocol that can be cached

can't seem to get this USB to boot. idk why. I get busybox and it says there's no bootable live medium found, but I'm booting from the USB that I just successfully created. I don't see where the issue is...

Hello
ubuntu-mate 2017-01-30 04:56:57
I am testing this chat program. How are you?
nicomachus 2017-01-30 04:57:26
hi ubuntu-mate
ubuntu-mate 2017-01-30 04:57:49

Hey, how can i configure ddclient to use the WAN ip instead of my local IP when i'm behind a router ?
ubuntu-mate 2017-01-30 05:00:50
Where can I find chatrooms-list and other special commands for the chat?
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:01:31
velis: i'm alkisg, while alkis is another person :)
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:01:36
reading your messages...
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:02:44
velis: from what I'm reading, ltsp fat clients might suit you just fine... google for "ltsp-pnp"
velis 2017-01-30 05:02:54
sorry
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:02:59
velis: they're using nbd by default, it's also possible to use nfs
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:03:23
velis: you can also boot multiple computers from one installation, and they use sshfs for shared /home
velis 2017-01-30 05:04:48
I read you're the developer for that?
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:04:54
Yup
velis 2017-01-30 05:05:25
I'll read about it to see whether it's what I seek
velis 2017-01-30 05:05:32
and THEN install :)
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:05:37
Right :)
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:05:55
Basically if you have one pc with central storage, you can then netboot any number of diskless clients
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:06:11
(or with only local kernel/initrd, if you prefer)
velis 2017-01-30 05:08:20
not a terminal server? I just got to the point where LTSP is a terminal server. I don't need that. Actually, my storage server has a very weak CPU. My workstations do not
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:09:06
velis: in the new age, it's a terminal server for fat clients, which means the programs run on the clients, which means it can even be a nas with weak cpu etc
velis 2017-01-30 05:09:22
ah, ok
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:09:26
velis: years ago it had started as a terminal server for thin clients only, that's no longer the recommended use case
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:10:01
velis: is your server the same architecture as your clients? e.g. amd64 both?
velis 2017-01-30 05:10:08
interesting. Then it seems to be just the thing for me
velis 2017-01-30 05:10:16
yes, architecture is the same
velis 2017-01-30 05:10:22
all new CPUs here
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:10:24
Sounds fine then
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:10:39
For example, you can netboot 20 fat clients from a single core atom server
citizen_ 2017-01-30 05:10:54
How to search for applications?
nicomachus 2017-01-30 05:11:01
hey, those clients don't you to fat-shame them alkisg
akik 2017-01-30 05:11:13
alkisg: what's a fat client?
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:11:31
akik: it's a diskless, netbooted client, that gets the os from the network, but runs in locally, with its own cpu/ram
akik 2017-01-30 05:11:50
alkisg: like nfs root or something else?
citizen_ 2017-01-30 05:11:51
I recently switched from windows 7, and I was wondering how you can search for apps.
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:12:07
akik: yes, but you only need 1 installation to boot as many clients as you want
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:12:22
akik: there's an option for nbd or nfs or aoe root, we don't support iscsi yet
velis 2017-01-30 05:12:36
Presumably they're all roughly the same configuration?
velis 2017-01-30 05:12:58
as in SW, I mean?
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:13:01
We have computer labs that have pentium 3 and core i7 booted from the same image
alkisg 2017-01-30 05:13:04
Yes, the same sw
velis 2017-01-30 05:13:14
nice
jana 2017-01-30 05:20:10
hello, can anybody tell me a way to get the fn keys working on my vaio notebook? i already added the vendor in the /etc/default/grub and tried xbacklight
cisstrd 2017-01-30 05:24:02
ubuntu 16.10, unity (default install), wifi network "Automatically connect to this network when it is available", yet upon disconnects sometimes I am prompted to click ok so that it reconnects (field with the wifi-name, the password (already filled) and me hitting "ok"), which is of course stupid
cisstrd 2017-01-30 05:24:14
why doesn't it automatically reconnect without asking?
kang0 2017-01-30 05:25:19
Is it possible multiple bootloaders on mbr
kang0 2017-01-30 05:25:22
What's vbr
anddam 2017-01-30 05:27:22
kang0: it is possible but not at the same time
anddam 2017-01-30 05:27:25
you can chainload
anddam 2017-01-30 05:27:40
is the one about vbr an actual question?
tomreyn 2017-01-30 05:27:48
cisstrd: i think you max get around this by ticking the option in the connection preferences to make the connection available globally / system wide
tomreyn 2017-01-30 05:28:06
or the other way around, not sure
tomreyn 2017-01-30 05:28:27
i think this issue is due to a race condition which could be considered a bug in network-manager
kang0 2017-01-30 05:30:00
anddam yes explain about vbr
kang0 2017-01-30 05:30:14
anddam how to chain load
kang0 2017-01-30 05:30:36
And when it is used or use case
anddam 2017-01-30 05:31:54
kang0: I'm not sure what you're saying, also I'm leaving in a minute so I won't be able to help you
