[Alan W. S. da S. <al...@bi...>]

Hi People, I'm in the mailing list for ltsp and mosix, in part, for this
reason, but I have to say that I didn't do anything by now, just reading.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] more on ThinkNIC problem

[Tom Y. <to...@ma...>]

Bob:

I had a similar problem with Corel Linux install hanging.  Solved it by adding a boot parameter, putting the console in 80-line mode.  Then the offending lines were still onscreen when it hung.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] NWorkstation Boots With id: unknown user name : 0

[Roger H. <dah...@ho...>]

Jim,

I'm running RH7.1 which 2.07 does not support.  I guess I'll give 2.09pre1 a 
try.

More to come I'm sure.

Thanks again.

I think it would be VERY worthwhile. I can then use it myself, and send
a copy to ThinkNIC and bug them till they post it on their website.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] NWorkstation Boots With id: unknown user name : 0

[Jim M. <ja...@mc...>]

Roger,

Are you trying to run local apps?

It is broken in 2.08.  You either need
to revert back to 2.07, or you could give 2.09pre1
a try.

the reason you can't use rsh/rlogin is because we don't
have the rshd daemons running to accept incoming connections.

If you try 2.09pre1, I think I had telnetd running, so you
could log in with telnet.

Also, you could add the rsh daemon to the ltsroot directory,
and start it in the rc.local script.

I hope that helps,

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] ltsp+mosix

[Michael H. C. <mht...@au...>]

	Aparantly it just works.

There was an article in LinuxJournal about these guys at UT.
not ltsp, but close enough.

Someone else recently toyed with it.  Seemed to work here.
Then I got busy.

[Ltsp-discuss] ltsp+mosix

[John F C. <vdr...@oc...>]

Hi everyone,
 I was curious if anyone has attempted to combine clustering
(www.mosix.com) with ltsp. I thought I might give it a try. It would be
interesting to see the diskless client's processes transparently migrate
to other nodes in the cluster.

Thanks :)

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] NWorkstation Boots With id: unknown user name : 0

[Alex Y. <apr...@sk...>]

The reason that could can't rlogin is that there is not rlogin server on the
terminals. You will have to add the server, plus the Beowulf software you are
using to the terminals' root filesystem on the server. It might work better if
you just make you own root filesystem for the terminals. You could make it
rather small and have only the tools you would need for the cluster.

[Ltsp-discuss] NWorkstation Boots With id: unknown user name : 0

[Roger H. <dah...@ho...>]

I just subscribed to your list today.  I'm very new to linux and ltsp.  I'm 
try to setup a Beowulf configuration using ltsp.  Currently, I can boot to a 
graphical login from any workstation and everything seem fine on the 
graphical desktop.  But, when I boot to a shell (RUNLEVEL = 3), I get the 
following output just before completion of the boot sequence:

Starting syslogd
INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
INIT: switching to runlevel 3
id: unknown user name : 0
id: unknown user name : 0
id: unknown user name : 0
[:too many arguments
id: unknown username
[ws001/]#

Also, I want to have completely relaxed security and allow rsh/rlogin 
without usernames and passwords.  Everytime I try to rsh or rlogin from the 
server to one of the workstations, I get a "Connection Refused" response.

Does anyone know what's wrong with my boot sequence and why I can't 
rsh/rlogin?

All sugguestions are welcomed.  Thanks in advance.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Flash IOpener from DOS?

[Shane K. <sk...@in...>]

There are available adapters to connect a 2.5" Hdd to a std IDE cable.  
Alternatively, many companies who sell industrial SBC's can supply a 
cable to connect from the fine pitch (2.5"ide) connector on the SBC to 2 
std ide devices (Hdd + CD).  We use the Aaeon PCM-4894 SBC, so if you 
find the local distributor, they can probably help.

[Ltsp-discuss] Flash IOpener from DOS?

[Chris S. <sko...@ya...>]

Hi,
I'm very interested in using my IOpener as a diskless
workstation. The problem is that I don't have a
notebook harddrive to install linux and Flash from.
Here are the instructions for that proceedure:
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/iopener.php

A friend of mine is running Windows on his IOpener. I
think I could get him to take his drive out, boot my
machine and flash my machine. I'm not sure how to
accomplish this from DOS/Windows. Is there a way to do
it with FDISK and Rawrite?

ANY adivce would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Some time ago, I found a very useful site for modeline setup.  Most 
monitors will actually display slightly more pixels than published, so 
hackers can play with getting the maximum out of their screens.

[Shane K. <sk...@in...>]

Personally Jim, I think  you are doing an incredible job.  You seem to 
be the one who answers the most questions/problems, and on a voluntary 
basis.  There are many full time professionals from whom we would not 
get your level of support.  I sometimes wonder how you manage what you 
do.  Having said that, there are many others who deserve a big THANK's.  
In Churchills words (slightly abreviated), "Never has so much been owed 
by so many, to so few"

Chris
I agree. I'll read more. I need more background for asking more interesting
questions. :)
Where can I find documentation about modelines and graphics cards?
Regards
ff
p.s. What exactly were the X problems/questions?
Problems regarding refresh rates for a given graphics card/monitor combo. I
discovered the "modelines issue" and I'm still trying to get better
performance.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Answers

[Jim M. <ja...@mc...>]

Federico,

Obviously, some questions are very easy to
answer, and a simple one or two line reply will take
care of the problem.

Other questions can require much more thought, and sometimes
research,  before giving an answer.

As we are all on a volunteer basis here, we all jump in
and answer questions when we have the time and knowledge in
the problem area.

I personally try to answer as many questions as I can, but
I cannot take on the entire burden myself.  That is why,
on some questions, I'll leave it for someone else who
has a better understanding of the problem.

This week has been especially tough, because I have been (and
still am) at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, and my time
for checking and replying to email has been between conference
sessions, when I can get connected.

Some problems can be solved much more quickly by going
to the #ltsp IRC channel on irc.openprojects.net.  You can usually
find able bodied people there who can help you work through your
issues.  I'm usually hanging out there at all hours of the
day and night, but I haven't been there much this week.

So, I urge you to keep asking your questions, and I also
urge others on the list to help out when they can.

Thanks,

Jim McQuillan

gcc 2.96 is not suitable for doing kernel compiles. Even though you are
using kgcc, somehow it's using the 2.96 include directories. There must
be some special instructions for doing kernel compiles on Mandrake (and
RH7.x).

[Ltsp-discuss] Re: Telnet session and German keyboard support!

[Carlos E. S. <ger...@de...>]

Maybe you can copy loadkeys to /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot/usr/bin/ and
/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de.kmap.gz to /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot/etc/i18n/
and include in your rc.local file a
        loadkeys /etc/i18n/de.kmap.gz

Hope this helps.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Answers

[Chris W. <cn...@ch...>]

Suggest you try again. The most important thing is to be very clear and
detailed about what you're asking, questions like "How do I find the
correct modeline entry for a Matrox G450 with a ViewSonic A90 in
1600x1200?" are far more likely to be answered than questions like "How do
I make it work?".

p.s. What exactly were the X problems/questions?

I've noted that some questions are answered faster or have more interest.
I've posted some problems/questions regarding X and I didn't receive any
help. Is there any other list for topics less advanced or more trivial?. I'm
a beginner in the Diskless world and need some advices. I've read the faq
and the troubleshooting guide and didn't find the answers.
