Re: no home-directory on diskless workstations
Hi Georg, Tx for your advice. I removed the client and recreated it with another ip, enabled dhcp, enabled dns and added it to nis-groups workstations and all-hosts.. Rebooted the workstation. Still no luck. It does not mount the homedir.. I don't really know where to look next. Could it have anything to do with the /skole/tjener/home0 being mounted at the server from a nfs host? I dont think it should affect the exports from the chroot, but thats the only change Ive done with the homedir. It works without a glitch when booting thin-clients from 192.168.1.0 network, and even when booting this workstation at the 10.0.0.0 network as a thinclient. But not when booting as a workstation. I tried with another client also, but the same thing. When going in to shell and looking at mtab I see a line like this; tmpfs /home tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 00 thats the only reference to the home dir. If looking in to /skole/tjener it is empty. No home0 If looking in to /home it is also empty.

Re: no home-directory on diskless workstations
Hi, sorry for all mails.. I checked out mount on tjener, for home it looks like this; 10.0.2.10:/home_edu on /skole/tjener/home0 type nfs (rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=10.0.2.10) If I go in to the chroot and do mount I see this; /dev/mapper/vg_system-root on /srv/nfs4/home0 type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) and this; 10.0.2.10:/home_edu on /skole/tjener/home0 type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=14,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.0.2.10,mountvers=3,mountport=33191,mountproto=udp,addr=10.0.2.10) The first entry in chroot referring to /srv/nfs4/home0 I dont understand. The dir /srv inside the chroot is empty.. Nothing there. Outside the chroot, on tjener, it contains subdirs like this: /srv/nfs4/home0 but home0 is empty... When logging in to a thin client and after that issuing "mount" on tjener (outside chroot) this entry appears; gvfs-fuse-daemon on /skole/tjener/home0/george/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=george) Inside chroot I see this; gvfs-fuse-daemon on /skole/tjener/home0/stutes/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1003,group_id=1003) But when logging in to a diskless workstation no such thing appears. That I guess is ok? Unfortunatley I cant try to make a manual mount from the diskless workstation because I cant gain root access. I can ping the nfs-server though. (10.0.2.10) I hope my description is clear enough. This problem is starting to wear on my nerves.. Hoping someone can help. Noone using san or nas for homedirs on debian-edu? If so, how have you set it up?

This might be the cause, as it is problematic (impossible?) to export a NFS mounted directory via NFS. Did you change the automount map to get the client to mount from the other NFS server, or are the client trying to NFS mount from tjener? I would recommend making sure clients mount from the real NFS server, and not try to re-export it via tjener. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Thin Client sessions freeze with certain applications
Dear list, a German school is trying to upgrade to squeaze. Years ago, it was Philipp who helped them out to have their thin clients work. There is a very detailed logging page in our Wiki, in short, thin clients will freeze if users start openoffice. This is not the case for direct sessions from LTSP server. My crystal ball hints to insufficient RAM / missing swap, but of course, there might also be an issue with the network cards/driver of the thin clients. I am not deep familiar enough with current locations of corresponding log files, for you it might be a quick guess, however. Please consult http://wiki.skolelinux.de/HolderbergSchule (mostly German) for more details.

Hi, TL;DR: let's consider a string freeze from Friday 11 to Wednesday 16 May, in order to allow proper translation update and review. Le 09/05/2012 05:09, Holger Levsen a écrit : > On Mittwoch, 9.

The German translation is already up to date (thanks Wolfgang who also fixed some typos), and I'll ask for other translations update Friday or Saturday (the manual being currently fully available in five languages, I'd love to keep this internationalized status as far as possible). So, if you plan to make any more change in the manual, please, just do it now. Regards David signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: no home-directory on diskless workstations
Hi, Thanks. I guessed that but couldnt really debug it. I looked at the auto.* files and in the ldap settings using ldapvi, but I cant see where the map for the automounter are.. Do you have a pointer where I can read up on this? Googling gives me a lot on setting up ldap and the automounter, but I still dont understand how to change this. (Since I dont find the settings...)
