[opensuse-edu] LIFE no login, no remote X but otherwise fine
by Verner Kjærsgaard 23 Jan '11

Hi list and gurus - I'm new with this list and LI-F-E, but not new to LTSP and KIWI/LTSP. - over the last 7 days I've struggled to setup a plain vanilla KIWI/LTSP5 server - the problem being that ALL HP clients, but not any other type of client, causes a kernel panic at initrd stage. The network module in use is tg3. I've received lots of kind help from the people over at KIWI/LTSP. One of the suggestions (as we're all pretty desperate now) was to download and install LI-F-E. So done. This is now installed on a standard HP ProLiant serverbox (32bit). A part from a slight confusion on my part setting up the network - you use something called br (bridged) and you don't use eth0 directly - once I got that configured correctly, the server itself works fine. I browses the net and all. Then I run into problems. a) I enable 'remote access to X' in the sysconfig. I run SuSEconfig, switch down to runlevel 3 and back up to 5 again. No remote X. Nada. And I kill the firewall as well. I reboot. Nada. Eh...that's the first thing I don't understand, I give (on my laptop) X :1 -query <IP-of-server>. Any hints to what I'm doing wrong here? b) THIS IMPLEMENTATION OF LTSP BOOTS MY TROUBLED HP CLIENTS! I shout that out, because it's a major step forward :-) And it's fast. c) but alas, it will not let me login. I setup a virginal new user, type the username and password, it then takes a long time verifying and finally states that there is no contact to server. Restarts and over we go again... What could be that culprit here? The logs are empty. 2.6.31.12-0.1-default is the kernel version that came with the LI-F-E iso. All and any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 Linux Counter no 114954 ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-edu] Missing package and language request, rebuild question
by Lars Vogdt 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi Bruno I forwarded your questions to the openSUSE Education mailinglist. I think Cyberorg and/or Andrea may be able to help here? With kind regards, Lars ------------------------------- Hi I like your fine edu live dvd, because it has much more then suse live cd on board . So it`s very comfortable to dump all me need to usbstick :-) But I`m missing the lazarus free pascal ide on 11.3 RC1 &RC2. It would ols be nice to the to nice and modern programming languages on board of one of the next education dvd. a) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/D_Programming b) http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/Processing http://www.heise.de/ct/projekte/machmit/processing http://www.processing.org/ Open question: Do you see a simple way to add packages to the dvd iso, without using suse studio? Do you recomment isomaster to edit/rebuild the dvd or is there a better way(like remastersys(ubuntu), mklivecd(PCLOS)) for opensuse-11.3 base?
