| 11:03 sugarmice | Nah - it's all been a little quiet around here |
| 11:04 sugarmice | We're about to re-think our FAI servers here, and was wondering whether you guys had any thoughts: |
| 11:05 sugarmice | Currently we have two FAI servers, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. Have any of you managed to create a FAI server on a 64-bit machine which can install both 32-bit and 64-bit machines? It seems to me it ought to be possible (just a separate NFS root for each arch) but I've never done it. Have any of you? |
| 11:06 sugarmice | The other thought is have any of you done a feature comparison with m23? |
| ErKa (~keryell@m92.net85-168-209.noos.fr) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 11:24 sanso|work | sugarmice, I have an amd64 fai server that does i386 and amd64 - works well |
| 11:34 sugarmice | Cool - so how do you go about setting that up? Are there any gotchas I should be aware of? |
| 12:08 dukez | sugarmice> |
| 12:08 dukez | me |
| 12:08 dukez | i ve done it |
| 12:08 dukez | just create to different config space : /etc/fai-i386 and /etc/fai-amd64 |
| 12:09 dukez | inside make-fai-nfsroot.conf, FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP, add --arch XXXXXXX |
| 12:09 dukez | get fai-kernel for both amd64 and i386 |
| 12:09 dukez | setup KERNELPACKAGE inside make-fai-nfsroot |
| 12:10 dukez | call make-fai-nfsroot -C /etc/fai-i386 -k vmlinuz-install-i386 |
| 12:10 dukez | call FAI_ETC_DIR=/etc/fai-i386 fai-mirror /srv/fai/mirror-i386 |
| 12:10 dukez | etc .... |
| 12:10 dukez | setup /etc/dhcp |

| 14:35 dukez | hi all |
| Action: h01ger wonders if the mailing list has a hickup. i sent a mail yesterday but havent got it back |
| 15:37 dukez | hey h01ger |
| 15:37 h01ger | hi dukez |
| 15:37 dukez | i got a strange error about portmap trying to contact localhost when booting with FAI 3.18 |
| 15:37 dukez | this is not blocking |
| 15:37 dukez | but do you know what FAI is trying to do ? |
| 15:38 dukez | it is at start, before running the class scripts |
| 15:38 dukez | Moreover, i got en error this killall in get-boot-info.... |
| 15:38 dukez | I wonder if a package is not missing from my NFSROOT |
| 15:38 dukez | Doesit sounds to u ? |
| 15:38 h01ger | nope |
| 15:38 dukez | killall command not found at line XXX |
| 15:39 Lin | sanso|work: yes. It is. I want a non interactive instalation. |
| 15:48 Lin | or do you mean fai-cd? |
| 15:48 Lin | I really dunno how fai-cd works. It can update packages from network? |
| 15:51 dukez | not really, it use a mirror on the media |
| 15:51 dukez | but u can apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in a script run by the installation processs |
| 15:56 dukez | Lin> i mean, to make the fai-cd iso, you must provide to fai-cd a Debian fai-mirror. |
| 15:57 dukez | Lin> The fai-cd iso will use this mirror during the install to access Debian packages. |
| 15:57 Lin | dukez: I think that apt-get upgrade is too much interactive, and has problemas in upgrading version, exemple my cd is etch but the latest is etch+1 can happen some problem while installation (i cannot accept this, there is any way to avoid?). |
| 15:58 dukez | Lin> In my opinion, use fai-cd like you would use Debian installs CD ( not netinstall ) |
| 15:58 dukez | Lin> and then run a fai softupdate |
| 15:58 Lin | dukez: I will be VERY far from clients |
| 15:58 dukez | Lin> provided that during the fai-cd install you redifine during scripts execution the content of $target/etc/apt/sources.list |
| 15:59 dukez | Lin> And ? |
| 15:59 Lin | I dont want support users in reinstalations |
| 15:59 dukez | Lin> fai-cd must be use for disaster recovery |
| 15:59 dukez | Lin> one the server will be up, you simply have to take the hand on it trought ssh and run fai softupdate |
| 15:59 Lin | dukez: right now I have to install 160 computers. |
| 15:59 dukez | Lin> And so ? Clusters ? |
| 15:59 Lin | do ssh to 160 computers is boring ;-) |
| 15:59 Lin | no.. user desktop |
| 16:00 dukez | Lin> ok, so make the fai-cd once a day the night |
| 16:00 Lin | I will need 160 cds. |
| 16:00 Lin | ;-) |
| 16:00 dukez | Lin> no ! With One CD, you can install 160 différent computers |
| 16:01 Lin | Will be a hell ;-) |
| 16:01 dukez | Lin> I personnly use 1 CD to install 14 servers |
| 16:01 Lin | how often you reinstall your servers? |
| 16:01 dukez | Lin> in case of disaster recovery or to test the process |
| 16:01 dukez | Lin> If you have to reinstall often, make an Installserver ! |
| 16:02 Lin | Users frequently destroy their systems ;-) |
| 16:02 dukez | Lin> Your users ll just have to press F12 at start |
| 16:02 Lin | I have a Install server |
| 16:02 Lin | It already configured |
| 16:02 Lin | and running |
| 16:02 dukez | Lin> So !!!! Install server use network update ! |
| 16:02 Lin | nfs. mirror, ssh and everythingf else |
| 16:02 dukez | Lin> FAI-CD use media update :( |
| 16:02 Lin | dukez: here comes my SECOND problem |
| 16:02 dukez | Lin> so ? why do you need the FAI-CD ? |
| 16:02 Lin | some hosts has only WI-FI card |
| 16:03 dukez | haha !! |
| 16:03 Lin | it cant do net boot ;-( |
| 16:03 Lin | unfortunely |
| 16:03 Lin | some hosts == half them |
| 16:03 Lin | dont laugh at me :-( |
| 16:03 dukez | Lin> in my opinion, buy one PCMCIA Ethernet card, and use it for reinstall !! |
| 16:05 Lin | pcmcia? how I will put pcmcia on my desktops? |
| 16:05 dukez | Lin> or PXE over Wifi exist |
| 16:05 Lin | AFAIK no |
| 16:05 Lin | btw, where the wireless computers lies, there is no network cable |
| 16:05 Lin | just radio waves ;-) |
| 16:06 dukez | ok |
| 16:06 Lin | I was thinking |
| 16:06 Lin | I will create a RED pen drive |
| 16:06 Lin | called : EMERGENCY |
| 16:06 dukez | Lin> lol |
| 16:06 Lin | insert it and REBOOT! |
| 16:07 Lin | it will reinstall the system configure all mount points and the network auth |
| 16:07 Lin | then when a user make some mistake in his system. |
| 16:08 Lin | Break the glass take the pen drive, remove the seal and insert on your computer (on usb port). Press reboot |
| 16:08 Lin | funny manual! ;-) |
| 16:08 dukez | Hey |
| 16:08 Lin | yes |
| 16:08 dukez | You can use PXE bot with wifi, |
| 16:08 Lin | where did you read this? |
| 16:09 Lin | ... please ... |
| 16:09 Lin | ;-) |
| 16:09 dukez | French forums .... |
| 16:09 dukez | Use a hardware wifi gateway |
| 16:09 Lin | im not french. Is it a *real* information. |
| 16:09 Lin | as a access point? |
| 16:09 dukez | Acticate gateway synch in the bios of desktops |
| 16:09 dukez | And that must works |
| 16:10 Lin | there is no bios on my wifi cards |
| 16:10 Lin | its a dlink g-520 |
| 16:10 dukez | ok |
| 16:10 Lin | which card you're talking about? |
| 16:10 Lin | orinoco? cisco? |
| 16:11 dukez | i am looking for an english forum about it |
| 16:12 Lin | please.. |
| 16:14 dukez | Lin> your wireless cards doesnt supoort PXE ? |
| 16:14 dukez | Lin> Do you know that ? |
| 16:15 Lin | AFAIK not |
| 16:15 dukez | So this is the bad point |
| 16:15 Lin | I didn't read anything about this at boot time or in card manual |
| 16:15 dukez | Because booting PXE throught wifi or ethernet is the same thing as i read |
| 16:15 Lin | I can send a question to hardware supli |
| 16:15 dukez | Lin> Just try to see if the Computer bios support Network booting |
| 16:15 Lin | yes support |
| 16:16 dukez | Lin> Try to activate it simply and you ll see ! |
| 16:16 dukez | Lin> Does your wifi is using DHCP ? |
| 16:16 Lin | yes |
| 16:16 dukez | Lin> The DCHP is made by an appliance ? or a real DHCP3 unix server ? |
| 16:16 Lin | dhcp server |
| 16:16 Lin | linux\ |
| 16:17 dukez | cool |
| 16:17 dukez | so just give it a try ! |
| 16:17 Lin | I will |
| 16:17 Lin | ;-) |
| 16:17 dukez | Try enable network booting |
| 16:17 dukez | and you ll see |

| 16:52 dukez | i got a scratch or 2 fighting with fai :( |
| 16:52 dukez | i mean some advice about install_package and cross arch installation ^ |
| 16:57 dukez | !ping oz |
| 17:02 h01ger | dukez, please ask your question - dont "randomly" ping people.. (and esp. without asking your questions..) |
| 17:02 dukez | lol |
| 17:03 dukez | i ma tying to make an i 386 NFSROOT on a AMD64 server. |
| 17:03 dukez | The only problem i have is with the^$ù* install_packages script ! It try to download amd64 arch packges |
| 17:03 dukez | Is there a way to bypass this problem ?? |
| 17:05 h01ger | i dont know :) maybe you need to create the nfsroot on i386, tar it and copy it over |
| 17:06 dukez | no, i must create it on the installserver, because i have an installserver that knows how to rebuild itselft throught fai-cd. |
| 17:06 dukez | i am looking for a setarch hack at the time |
| 17:09 dukez | h01ger> do you know if FAI dev team is going to leave the install_packages script for a "better" solution ? |
| 17:12 dukez | h01ger> i hope the setarch will fool install_packages script. |
| nomeata (nobody@nomeata.de) joined #fai. |
| 17:17 h01ger | dukez, if you give us a better solution... ;) |
| 17:17 h01ger | hi nomeata |
| 17:19 nomeata | hi h01ger |
| 17:21 dukez | dukez> Hmmm, i dont know how to handle arch in perl, but in C, you can make a syscall(SYS_personality) to foll the architecture |
| 17:22 dukez | just an idea |
| 17:22 dukez | Using this technique, perhaps can you handle an -arch switch with install_packages :) |
| 17:22 h01ger | dukez, file a wishlist bug then... |
| 17:22 dukez | this is not a bug :) just an evolution |
| 17:22 h01ger | (and i dont think install_packages will be rewritten in c, if only for the fact that it would make the resulting binary arch-dependend, doh. |
| Lin (~igor@200.179.57.57) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 17:23 dukez | h01ger> does the fai-multidistrib handle different architecture ? |
| 17:23 h01ger | dukez, wishlist bugs are bugs :) |
| 17:23 h01ger | dukez, multidistri is targeted at multiple distros, not archs :) |
| 17:23 dukez | h01ger> doest u plan to make fai evolved multi arch ? so ? |
| 17:26 dukez | h01ger> perhaps installing install_packge inside the NFSROOT and running it from there thourght a chroot might be a solution to handle multiarch NFSROOT :) |
| 17:26 h01ger | fai is multiarch. it just doesnt work the way you want :-D |
| 17:27 h01ger | dukez, that only works on i386+amd64 and only in one direction... |
| 17:27 dukez | h01ger> i mean by multi arch that fai can cross-arch produce NFSROOT |
| 17:28 dukez | h01ger> and it seems to me that is it not truly the case without handmakde hacks :) |
| 17:29 dukez | but i not a real FAI pro still |
| 17:29 dukez | i just got a quite good lvl ) |
| 17:29 h01ger | lvl? |
| 17:29 h01ger | debootstrap cannot setup chroots for other archs, thats the core problem. |
| 17:30 dukez | FALSE !!!! |
| 17:30 dukez | debootstrap --arch ! |
| 17:30 dukez | it make it ! |
| 17:30 dukez | I use '--arch i386' in my FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP to try to make an i386 NFSROOT on an amd64 machine :) |
| 17:31 h01ger | send patches or file bugs at least |
| 17:31 dukez | surely if i found a workable solution i ll contribute |
| 17:31 oz | h01ger: hm. we did something similar we fiddled with live-package |
| 17:31 dukez | believe me |
| 17:31 dukez | i love fai |
| 17:32 oz | dukez: what exactly does you thing now? |
| 17:32 dukez | install_packages sucks ^^ |
| 17:33 oz | it takes the first amd64 client to build the nfsroot an sends it back to the server, or what? |
| 17:33 dukez | i can't i got an auto generated installserver thourgt fai-cd |
| 17:34 dukez | so i'll find a solution to make the i386 NFSROOT from the AMD64, even if i must wrap the make-fai-nfsroot inside a bigger hand made script :) |
| 17:34 dukez | i can't do it cause i got * |
| 17:34 dukez | my make-fai-nfsroot works expect for the last stage : adding NFSROOT class packages :( |
| 17:34 dukez | without any modification to fai 3.1.8 for the moement |
| 17:35 dukez | i ll find a way |
| 17:35 dukez | i hope |
| 17:35 oz | dukez: hehe, I also built a cd doing that |
| 17:35 dukez | that why fai is a great project : you can auto regenerate all your platform with 1 or 2 CD ! |

| 17:48 Lin | hi all!! |
| 17:49 Lin | my fai is complaing about: fai-savelog ssh: command not found (and scp too). Why this happened? |
| 17:50 Lin | in fai nfs I could not find a ssh binary |
| 17:50 Lin | grub either. |
| 17:50 Lin | any tips? |
| 17:51 Lin | I chrooted to nfsroot and installed ssh and grub |
| 17:51 Lin | is it ok? |
| 17:54 dukez | mostly |
| 17:56 Lin | dukez: now my fai client is compaing about: cannot connect to portmap on local host (why it is trying this?) |
| 17:57 Lin | where fai store the log? |
| 17:57 Lin | now a lot of errors about shell operator error. while mounting |
| 17:58 Lin | [: 93: ==: unexpected operator. |
| 17:58 Lin | is it normal? |
| 18:00 Lin | where can I find failogs? |
| 18:01 Lin | there is anyplace to discover which clients are doing instalations right now? |

| 22:38 dukez | Yo all, i found a solution for install_packages to handle multi architecture |
| 22:38 dukez | apt-get -o APT::Architecture="i386" install tcpdump |
| 22:39 dukez | to force architecture :) |
| 22:41 Lin | dukez: hehe dunno. |
| 22:42 Lin | but good anyway |
| 22:42 Lin | ;-) |
| 22:43 Lin | dukez: im installing these classes FAIBASE DHCPC UBUNTU but it wont intalling my kernel. I have to add DEFAULT class or add some kernel? |
| 22:43 Lin | dukez: but the DEMO or SERVEr didn´ t has anything related kernels. |
| 22:47 dukez | no |
| 22:47 Lin | FAIBASE has it.. but my instaled system are without a kernel image.. |
| 22:47 dukez | norammy it install the kernel |
| 22:47 Lin | I really dunno why its hapenning |
| 22:48 dukez | FAIBAE must install the kernle |
| 22:48 dukez | LIN you NFSROOT semms broken as i read the channel history |
| 22:48 dukez | a |
| 22:48 Lin | yes.. it seems |
| 22:48 dukez | are you sure you make-fa-nfsroot runned correctly ? |
| 22:49 dukez | are you cross architecture installing ? |
| 22:49 Lin | no i386 only |
| 22:49 dukez | strange |
| 22:49 dukez | after the install in /tmp/fai/software.log |
| 22:49 dukez | check for the inux-image installation |
| 22:49 Lin | i setup to reboot after install |
| 22:50 dukez | did you see it ? |
| 22:50 dukez | dont reboot and heck it via sshing on the serv |
| 22:50 Lin | -IFv right? |
| 22:52 dukez | yes |
| 22:52 dukez | it must not reboot automagically |
| 22:52 dukez | unless you hit a key |
| 22:52 Lin | another thing.. where I setup the /etc/hosts file to be copied to destination system |
| 22:52 Lin | ? |
| 22:52 dukez | use Ctrl+C to get the shell |
| 22:52 Lin | but CTRL+C didn't stop the instalation? |
| 22:52 dukez | not at the end |
| 22:53 dukez | read the last message you ll see |

| 22:53 Lin | ok |

| 22:53 dukez | can to make a handwritten version of /etc/hosts |
| 22:53 Lin | dukez: I discovered where. ;-) |
| 22:53 Lin | NFSROOT_ETC_HOSTS="10.1.1.203 aptproxy.ibeu.org.br aptproxy" |
| 22:53 dukez | build a script to make it |
| 22:53 dukez | yes |
| 22:53 Lin | ok |
| 22:54 dukez | you need it in configuration |
| 22:54 Lin | reinstaling |
| 22:54 dukez | but this flag is only used in the nfsroot |
| 22:54 Lin | humrum... another thing... my fai isn't logging |
| 22:54 Lin | maybe something with my SSH cert. |
| 22:54 dukez | you haven't settup correctly logserver |
| 22:55 dukez | or perhaps it is using faimond |
| 22:55 dukez | connections |
| 22:55 Lin | and Im having problem to configure HPLIP cause it need cups being configured first. |
| 22:55 dukez | HPLIP : i don't know it ! sry :( |
| 22:55 dukez | i don't kno weerything ^^ |
| 22:55 Lin | dukez: hum rum.. there is no way to preinstall something? |
| 22:56 Lin | or re-run the aptitude ugrade just to clean up everything? |
| 22:56 Lin | the scripts fall under fai/scripts/CLASS right? |
| 22:57 Lin | fai/config/scripts/class |
| 22:57 Lin | this is damn good ;-) |
| 22:57 dukez | no |
| 22:57 dukez | yes |
| 22:57 Lin | o? |
| 22:57 Lin | no? |
| 22:58 dukez | ry |
| 22:58 Lin | where then? |
| 22:58 dukez | preinstallation is done throught packages_config |
| 22:58 dukez | configuration throught scripts |
| 22:58 Lin | humrum |
| 22:58 dukez | or with debconf |
| 22:58 Lin | root@arda:/srv/fai/config/package_config# cat UBUNTU |

| 22:58 dukez | debconf-get-selections to see the configuration flags use b the package |
| 22:59 dukez | yes |
| 22:59 dukez | PACKAGES install is better in my opinion |
| 22:59 Lin | cleaner |
| 22:59 dukez | but it is the same thing likely |
| 23:00 Lin | kernel is being fetched |
