Message-ID: <4F00E00D.5000307@togami.com> Hey folks, Currently K12Linux is based on SL6.1 because CentOS has been very bad at keeping up with updates in the past year. But then recently CentOS surprised everyone by releasing 6.2 very rapidly after RHEL 6.2. SL 6.2 is slightly behind. You folks think we should we keep K12Linux with SL, or move to CentOS 6.2? https://www.facebook.com/k12linux.org BTW, I really hope people can move discussion to the K12Linux Facebook group. I can more easily read and respond to stuff there than this mailing list.

I have been online since 1981, and will unfortunately (?) never have a I-MySpaceBook account. Walled gardens and trendy things come and go. I have several favorite mailing lists archived locally, that are no longer active. They died of their own accord, yet are still useful to me. I have everything posted here since 2005 archived and available any time for my personal use. This list can be read on my phone if I desire, and any online device I am near.

Is it a big deal to allow either? Do they diverge enough that one would work and the other wouldn't? Reason I ask is that I pretty much wholesale switched from CentOS to SL since CentOS 6 took so long to arrive. Now I run SL pretty much everywhere.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1325619791.3218.828.camel@server.ltsp> Happy New Year to all, 1. I'm somewhat indifferent about SL/Centos. At least, I was a couple of days ago before migrating a Centos5 box to SL6 (with all of our custom tweaks, etc.) SL isn't really 'late'. They have a pretty well defined alpha beta release schedule that they appear pretty consistent on. SL 6.2 should be out in a few weeks pretty much on their regular schedule. I think it's great that C6.2 is out but it's a single data point. My affection for CentOS is a bit diminished after (iirc) the 5.6, 6.0 delays. Those delays were significant enough to span a number of alternative projects based on TUV. At this point, I'd rather wait to see if CentOS can consistently generate new releases on a timely basis. I don't think waiting a couple of weeks to accomodate SLs schedule is as big a deal as the inconsistency CentOS has had the last couple of years. (Not a knock on anyone's individual efforts. I recognize and appreciate the time and commitment made by those in each project.) 2. Not a big fan of using Facebook for this purpose. I'm a big proponent of owning your own information and content. There's a real value in having searchable archives having looked a lot of old stuff up the last couple of days.

I'm updating a Centos5 install (K12LTSP) to SL6. The following are "observations" (I put it in quotes since I may have overlooked things or just plain got them wrong). 1. Works out of the box when one faithfully follows the documentation. Kudos. 2. SL6 has the same video issues with a MSI Wind nettop that I'm using as a test client that I had way back when, iirc, I was in a F12 client on F12 server. Not a big issue but points out the likelihood that users will have to do multi chroot installs. 3. Speaking of which, big nuance in multiple chroots (unless I overlooked something) is that the client only respects the lts.conf in the original */i386 folder, not the lts.conf in individual chroot folders, say, */f11_i386. This one took me awhile to chase down. If one needs for whatever reason (I'm not here to judge ;-) )to generate custom lts.confs based on specific chroots, the script is in here: /opt/ltsp/youri386path/usr/sbin/ltsp-client-launch For the intrepid, the relevant section is: TFTPPATH="/ltsp/$ARCH/lts.conf". Amend as necessary. 4. Another one that killed a few hours. Again, unless I'm getting something wrong and I'll admit my iptables proficiency is nil: In previous versions of K12LTSP, one would use -A INPUT -i eth? -j ACCEPT (where eth? is the interface facing the clients, eg. eth0) for me, this worked with a earlier k12linux install F13 server on F12 clients that I'm still using at home where I'm using bridged networking ie ltspbr0 on eth0 and an old K12LTSP EL5 set up with the old style eth0 / eth1 setup On my new install, I need to use -A INPUT -i ltspbr0 -j ACCEPT (note that ltspbr0 replaces eth?) I had tried copying over working iptable configs from both my Centos5 and F13 servers and even generated one with the Firewall utility to no avail.

I would vote that perhaps Scientific Linux is a better match as their mandate should theoretically be more in line with schools and other educational institutions that CentOS. I believe also there were a number of political headaches with CentOS that may or may not have been resolved and could cause problems again in the future. I would also vote for NOT using Facebook but continuing with this mailing list. The ability to search is key and Facebook's search is *horrible*. I mostly subscribe to these lists in order to go back later and search whenever a problem arises, and that has saved me countless times.

If it is a one (or couple) time task, I've done it quite easily in the past using midnight commander (mc). Start MC, then do a search for all the files in the directory and subdirectory with only a wildcard *. Then once you get the results, one of the options is to panalize the search results. Doing that will result in a single listing of all the files in all directories and sub-directories. Tab over to the other side, identify the destination (it can be another server as MC lets you ssh/ftp) then hit F5 to copy or F6 to move and you're done. Hope that helps.

I have posted this before but no real "this works out of the box' responses. At this point in order to use k12linux/k12ltsp I have to have wireless a possible even if throughput will be marginal. Without this in a school setting I feel k12linux/k12ltsp is not a viable/possible alternative. I was hoping someone at this point(much smarter than I) would have been able to dump some minimal boot code,even into a bios ,on top of pxe, to make this happen,,as an option in bios settings of the TC for example. After having messed a few minutes with an NComputing TC this is basically what they use, albeit to a wired network to come up to a splash screen to set the server you would like to connect to. I guess very much the same as k12linux/k12ltsp, bottom line ,only at bios level. We do have several TC's that I can burn a minimal ' wireless bootup distro' onto SD cards to test with.

I've always thought that running an NX client on the laptop with freenx on the server would be the way to run over wifi but never needed to do enough of it to make a canned configuration or be concerned about leaving established sessions running when disconnected (a good thing, sometimes...) . X2go might work as well now. > We do have several TC's that I can burn a minimal ' wireless bootup > distro' onto SD cards to test with.

So everybody on this site boots from the Kiwi-ltsp machine, but I want to put some users on the newer CentOs-server. So in /etc/dhcpd.conf on the Kiwi-ltsp machine it says: *group { next-server 192.168.66.150; filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0"; host testtc { hardware ethernet 00:22:64:29:a9:4e; fixed-address 192.168.66.156; } }* next-server being the K12ltsp machine. host testtc, the test thinclient, is a Hp thinclient attached to the Kiwi-ltsp machine. The K12ltsp setup on the Centos6.2 machine is completely new installed and exactly like it's explained on the site. So firewall is off. The thinclient gets an dhcp address and begins booting, then halfway down stalls with this EM: *Dracut: Warning: Boot has failed. To debug this issue add "rdshell" to the kernel command line. Dracut Warning : Signal caught. Kernel Panic -not syncing : attempted to kill init! id:1, comm: init Tainted :6 --------------------------------------------#2.6.32-131.6.1el6.i6 6.thinclient s1 *If I want to add "rdshell", where would I put it? Could this be a simple permission problem --- the Kiwi-Ltsp machine boots with the pxelinux.0 from the CentOs machine if I understand it correctly -. Or could the 2 systems be incompatible? Thanks for any advise on this. greetings, J. * * -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen at cawdekempen.be 0479.82.01.41 Opensource Software is the future. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Have you set the correct option-path for the kernel in dhcpd.conf? It will probably look like this for you, if *.66.150 is where the ltsp kernels are option root-path "192.168.66.150:/opt/ltsp/i386"; or if you are using nbd option root-path "nbd:192.168.66.150:2000:squashfs:ro"; filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0"; only is for the pxe image. From there, it needs to find its full kernel to finish booting also, you will have to edit /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ltsp-client-launch if you want your clients to connect to *.66.150 or anything other than the default ip from install for the ldm session. look for the server variable on line 46.
