| 00:33 lazyb0y | Lin: hmm, it should be doable somehow. |
| 00:33 lazyb0y | you want to save the hassle of having all the network services but on the other hand want to save make fai-mirror again and again, I guess? |
| 00:36 lazyb0y | Lin: it might be just a hook where you copy the sources list you want onto the system or something like that |

| 07:02 meandtheshell | hi folks - can anybody please point out the difference between FAI and cfengine - seems to me FAI is more feature rich - no? |
| 07:03 oz_ | cfengine is for configuration, not installation |
| 07:06 meandtheshell | oz_: right - just figured that fai-client depends on cfengine anyways ... |
| 07:07 meandtheshell | I am with DebianGNU/Linux |
| 07:07 meandtheshell | apt-cache rdepends cfengine shows it |

| 08:20 meandtheshell | fai needs no database as with m23 - right? |
| 08:20 meandtheshell | m23 relies on MySQL |
| 08:21 Mrfai | yep |
| 08:22 Mrfai | have a look at the list of users of m23 and FAI. |
| 08:23 meandtheshell | hm ... what list? URL? |
| 08:23 Mrfai | There are no m23 package available. Only an ISO image. |
| 08:23 Mrfai | http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/q-answers.html |
| 08:24 meandtheshell | Mrfai: well, there are deb http://m23.sourceforge.net/m23inst/ ./ |
| Action: meandtheshell checks URL |
| 08:24 Mrfai | for m23 you can only look at their survey and how many people are posting into their "Forum". |
| 08:26 Mrfai | But don't ask me about more commenta. The IRC log is watching us ;-) |
| 08:26 meandtheshell | Mrfai: lol |
| 08:27 meandtheshell | Mrfai: you know I played around with FAI once (three years ago or so) but now I'd get into it more deeply but before that, I'd like to be sure I choose FAI not only because I already tried it once but because it's the better choice |
| 08:29 meandtheshell | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M23_software_distribution_system if you take a quick look at the features, does FAI (current version) provide all of them as well? |
| 08:30 meandtheshell | especially "Integration of existing clients into m23" would be good to have for me |
| 08:30 meandtheshell | well, about LDAP I do not care :) |
| 08:34 Mrfai | meandtheshell: I think "intergration" does not do what you want. I'm pretty sure it will reinstall the client usiing m23 from scratch. |
| 08:34 Mrfai | I would never use m23! Does that comment help you? |
| 08:35 meandtheshell | Mrfai: hehe ;-] well, ... why not besides you're the inventor of FAI |
| 08:36 meandtheshell | what is it that makes FAI stick up from a technical point of view (compared to m23) |
| 08:37 Mrfai | meandtheshell: come on. This is the FAI channel. I do not like to waste my time talking about m13. |
| Action: meandtheshell stares blankly |
| 08:38 h01ger | Mrfai, mein install_packages laeuft nur auf redhat.. |
| 08:38 h01ger | s/redhat/rpm distro/ |
| 08:40 Mrfai | h01ger: ware gut wenn das irgendwo kommentiert waere. |
| 09:17 oz_ | m23 seems to be bloat |
| 09:17 oz_ | but no word about this anymore |
| 09:38 lazyb0y | Mrfai: just that less people are using it is not good argument IMHO |
| 09:39 lazyb0y | Mrfai: I think, you/we should make a objective comparison(as far as we know m23 or others) and write that down somewhere |
| 09:40 lazyb0y | I think, forbidding people to ask about comparison ans help for their decision for one product vs. FAI is not a good way to handle this |
| 09:43 lazyb0y | meandtheshell: I think it's hard to decide. m23 is not used by many people, and ate some glances, it always looks like it's more about a nice GUI than nice internal technology. FAI is the other way around |
| 09:44 lazyb0y | meandtheshell: to decide on which technology you want to settle, I think you have to try it |
| 09:44 lazyb0y | an, I'd be happy to hear a comparison report. I'd even applaud to have this in the FAI wiki |
| 09:46 lazyb0y | BTW, in case it's not clear: I never tried it myself, so I don't know how it it, really. The debs are new to me, and in previous times, having no debs was always a reason for me not to try m23 |
| 09:47 maswan | meandtheshell: I just looked at the wikipedia page, and "three steps to reinstall" seems to be at least one step too many |
| 09:51 lazyb0y | maswan: how many are it with FAI? are you thinking of fai-chboot -e and shutdown -r now? |
| 09:52 maswan | lazyb0y: yeah |
| Action: maswan reads some more and concludes that m23 is some kind of weird system not suitable for using (around here at least) and gets on with his life to do actual work |
| 09:53 lazyb0y | so, you're always logged into your pxe-server, and don't need to login there first :) |
| ErKa (keryell@m6.wifi.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 09:54 maswan | lazyb0y: I usually have a prompt there, yes |
| Action: lazyb0y doesn't like to judge without trying. we should be open for influences from other tools, and only judge fair and unbiased, and based on real tests, not by reading some website |
| 09:55 lazyb0y | Not that I really believe I will switch to m23 soon or ever... |
| 09:55 maswan | lazyb0y: hey, I'd only try out likely candidates. m23 seems to be as far out as NIM for installing machines around here. |
| 09:55 maswan | ehm. NIM for non-AIX machines |
| 09:56 maswan | we still use it for AIX, for the base install. before we let FAI do the customisation. :) |
| 09:56 lazyb0y | maswan: that's for you as a user. that's O.K. |
| 09:57 lazyb0y | but FAI developers should take care not to talk bad about stuff they didn't really test (knowing I didn't, and assuming nobody else really did yet - mostly because the missing packages) |
| Action: lazyb0y fights hard getting rhel netinstall going last minute... |
| 09:58 lazyb0y | at least nfsroot is very broken with mine/holgers redhat patches... |
| 09:58 lazyb0y | will report details and possible fix later |
| 10:34 Bluemoon | re |
| 10:35 Bluemoon | ich versuche gerade ein amd64 nfsroot auf einem i386 fai-server zu erstellen, will aber nicht so recht: |
| 10:35 Bluemoon | W: Failure trying to run: chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot-amd64 mount -t proc proc /proc |
| 10:35 Bluemoon | Aborting |
| 10:35 Bluemoon | chroot: cannot run command `dpkg-divert': Exec format error |
| 10:36 Bluemoon | ich habe mich an das HowTo http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_Cross-architecture gehalten |
| 10:39 Mrfai | Bluemoon: das geht nur wenn ein 64bit kernel auf deinem 32bit system laeuft. Wenn ueberhaupt |
| 10:39 Mrfai | also check mal uname -a |
| 10:41 Bluemoon | ne, das ist ein 32bit |
| 10:41 Bluemoon | shit |
| 10:41 Bluemoon | hat mal jemand ein amd64 nfsroot fuer mich? :) |
| 10:42 Bluemoon | aber es wird ja trotzdem nicht gehen |
| 10:42 Mrfai | doch |
| 10:42 Mrfai | Bluemoon: MT wollte bald eine amd64 nfsroot bauen |
| 10:42 Bluemoon | ah |
| 10:42 MT | ich versuche es gerade :-) |
| 10:42 Bluemoon | hehe |
| 10:42 MT | bzw. die Variante von Rudy |
| 10:43 MT | nur base.tgz für amd64 |
| 10:43 Bluemoon | aber zickt dann chroot nicht trotzdem rum wenn der kernel vom fai-server 32 bittig ist? |
| 10:43 MT | eine 64-bit kernel braucht man auch |
| 10:44 MT | ach so, nein, warum |
| 10:44 MT | also das base.tgz muss man halt auf einer amd64 maschine bauen |
| 10:44 MT | ich muss nur gerade eine solche maschine hier an der uni suchen |
| 10:44 MT | habe gerade ein Solaris 10 erwischt |
| 10:44 MT | das kann nicht mal grep -q |
| 10:45 Bluemoon | aber kommt dann nicht dieser fehler: "chroot: cannot run command `dpkg-divert': Exec format error" trotzdem? |
| 10:45 Bluemoon | weil das chroot vom fai-server ja immernoch 32bit ist? |
| 10:45 Bluemoon | oder lieg ich da jetzt flasch? |
| 10:45 Bluemoon | falsch |
| 10:47 MT | das sollte kein problem sein, wenn der boot-kernel 32bit-Support hat |
| 10:47 MT | (ich glaub, die kernel haben das schon) |
| 10:47 MT | also die Debian-Kernel |
| 10:47 MT | Leute, hat irgendjemand eine amd64-Maschine mit root-Zugriff |
| 10:47 MT | ? |
| 10:48 Bluemoon | mom |
| 10:48 Bluemoon | ich habe nur ne suse hier |
| 10:48 MT | müsste nur an so ein base.tgz kommen |
| 10:48 MT | das is schon ok |
| 10:48 MT | Linux sollte es sein, und root-Rechte muss man haben |
| 10:48 Bluemoon | habe ich |
| 10:48 MT | könntest Du mir sowas machen? |
| 10:49 Bluemoon | kann ich auf einer susebox ein debootstrap ausfuehren? |
| 10:49 MT | hast Du debootstrap irgendwo installiert |
| 10:49 MT | also auf einer Debian-box? |
| 10:49 Bluemoon | klar :) |
| 10:50 MT | scp -r /usr/lib/debootstrap/ myamd64:/tmp/ddir/ |
| 10:50 MT | also vorher dort /tmp/ddir machen |
| 10:50 MT | scp /usr/sbin/debootstrap myamd64:/tmp/ |
| 10:50 MT | DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR=ddir/debootstrap/ ./debootstrap --arch amd64 etch test-amd64/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ |
| 10:50 MT | sollte theoretisch funktionieren |
| 10:50 Bluemoon | ok, versuche ich mal |
| 10:51 MT | also letzterer Befehl halt auf myamd64 |
| 10:51 MT | in /tmp |
| 10:51 MT | falls /tmp nicht noexec ist |
| 10:51 MT | dann müsste es halt ein anderes Verzeichnis sein... |
| 10:53 MT | wenn das soweit klappt, muss noch ein bisschen aufgeräumt werden |
| 10:53 MT | chroot test-amd64 |
| 10:53 MT | apt-get clean |
| 10:53 MT | rm /etc/resolv.conf |
| 10:53 MT | (also bitte im chroot!!!!) |
| 10:54 MT | exit |
| 10:54 MT | und dann kann man das tar bauen |
| 10:57 Bluemoon | na mal gucken |
| 10:57 Bluemoon | er ist am bootstrappen |
| 11:03 Bluemoon | muss da noch der fai-kernel installiert werden? |
| 11:04 Bluemoon | http://altf4.org/fai/ETCH-AMD64.tar.gz |
| 11:04 MT | hmm, glaub nicht |
| 11:04 Bluemoon | das ist ohne |
| 11:04 MT | ist das Deines? |
| 11:04 Bluemoon | also ohne fai kernel |
| 11:04 Bluemoon | ka |
| 11:04 Bluemoon | ja |

| 17:24 lazyb0y | and when looking deeper, yes, there was a long list of base programs, that was just dropped of the nfsroot software install list |

| 17:46 igormorgado | oz_: dunno. CD generetad my fai-cd |
| 17:46 igormorgado | lemme check |
| 17:46 oz_ | 19:45 < igormorgado> Cannot mount root fs of unknown disk(1,0) <- unknown disk sounds bad |
| 17:46 oz_ | igormorgado: I'd guess the ramdisk support is just availible as module |
| 17:47 igormorgado | oz_: really? this shoyuld be weird. cause it needs on boot. |
| 17:48 oz_ | year, weird but it would be a solution to you problem |

| 17:54 oz_ | argl |
| 17:54 oz_ | <- has new work |
| 18:06 Mrfai | igormorgado: try the same with the original fai-kernel. This is 2.6.18 |
| 18:13 lazyb0y | Mrfai: do the welcome mails mean we can post to the mainlis list again? |
| 18:16 Mrfai | yep. |
| 18:16 sysop | some ona have yet a configuration for install another fai server from fai? |
| 18:16 sysop | like universal machine of charles babbage... |
| 18:17 igormorgado | Mrfai: how can I specify the kernel? I havent done anything. |
| 18:17 Mrfai | sysop: on the fai-cd ISO image, there are the config for setting up an install server |
| 18:18 Mrfai | igormorgado: /etc/fai/make-fai-fnsroot.conf: KERNELPACKAGE= |
| 18:18 igormorgado | KERNELPACKAGE=/usr/lib/fai/kernel/linux-image-2.6.18-fai-kernels_1_i386.deb |
| 18:18 igormorgado | it already the 2.6.18 |
| 18:18 igormorgado | but it written 2.6.20 |

| 18:20 sysop | Mrfai: thank you |
| 18:32 Mrfai | igormorgado: call fai-cd and paste the output to paste.debian.net |
| 18:35 igormorgado | ok |
| 18:36 igormorgado | copacabana:/etc/fai# fai-cd -m /dados/mirror2/ /dados/opa2.iso |
| 18:36 igormorgado | Creating initrd image with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic |
| 18:36 igormorgado | that is what you want? |
| 18:37 Mrfai | Mmm, let me think about this |
| 18:46 Mrfai | igormorgado: output of dpkg -l fai\* please |
| 18:52 igormorgado | Mrfai: ok |
| 18:52 Mrfai | igormorgado: show me ls -l /srv/fai/nfsroot/boot |
| 18:52 Mrfai | I'm pretty sure you have more than one kernel inside the nfsroot |
| 18:53 igormorgado | un fai <nenhuma> (nenhuma descrição disponível) |
| 18:53 baldy | maa ich hasse screen.,, |

| 18:54 igormorgado | yeah.. I have 2 kernels on nfsroot/boot |
| 18:54 igormorgado | 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 |
| 18:54 igormorgado | I have done it cause I need wireless drivers on fai boot cd |
| 18:57 Mrfai | igormorgado: remove the 2.6.20 kernel from the nfsroot, then build a FAI cd and check if this works. |
| 18:57 Mrfai | If yes, then try to build your own 2.6.20 kernel for FAI. Why do you need the wireless driver during installation? |
| 18:58 igormorgado | Mrfai: what I have to do to put wireless drivers inside the kernel.. and ok I will create. |
| 18:58 igormorgado | Mrfai: cause I will do FAI install from wi-fi |
| 18:58 Mrfai | igormorgado: WOW! |
| 18:58 igormorgado | Mrfai: Why wow? |
| 18:59 Mrfai | I never thought about this option. |
| 18:59 igormorgado | Mrfai: what do you think about it. a option too enter SSID, KEY should be fine |
| 19:01 Mrfai | igormorgado: But then, it's not fully automatic any more :-( |
| 19:01 Mrfai | But you can do this. Write a script using the dialog command |
| 19:02 igormorgado | Mrfai: i was thinking about, create the CD with these options. |
| 19:03 igormorgado | Mrfai: the wireless thing in debian is just add 3 lines to network/interfaces as: |
| 19:03 igormorgado | wireless-ssid MYNETWORK |
| 19:03 igormorgado | wireless-key MYKEY |
| 19:03 igormorgado | wireless-driver DRIVERNAME |
| 19:04 igormorgado | everything else can be taken from DHCP. |
| 19:06 igormorgado | new coffe arrives... wait 5 minutes ;-) |
