| 10:16 istaz | hi all |
| 10:17 istaz | stupid question : what method do you use to generate the FAI password in FAIBASE.var ? |
| 10:18 istaz | I don't remember how i did it before; my co-worker tell me he used htpassw but it doesn't seem to work |
| 10:18 Mrfai | man mkpasswd |
| 10:18 Mrfai | echo "yoursecrectpassword" | mkpasswd -Hmd5 -s |
| 10:18 istaz | thanks a lot |
| 10:30 istaz | if you put a file in a certain class in the directory /fai/files, the script which fcopy it should be compulsorily in the same class? |
| 10:31 Mrfai | You may also put the fcopy command in the class DEFAULT, then this one fcopy commands can handle you templates for all classes. |
| 10:34 istaz | only in class DEFAULT? cause I have two différent version of my file /etc/cups/printers.conf one in class SALLE_9 and one in class SALLE_3 and I have put a fcopy in an script in my class MAIN (to which every computer belongs) and it didn't copy anything |
| 10:35 Mrfai | It's ok to out the fcopy command in your class MAIN. Read shell.log to see why this fcopy did not anything. |
| 10:37 istaz | permission denied. |
| 10:37 istaz | ok it's my fault /o\ |
| 10:37 istaz | which permission does fai need to acceed the files? |
| 10:38 istaz | *access |
| 10:48 sep | is it possible to order the nics in a different way using fai config ? i have one onboard and one pci. card the onboard have pxe, but the pci get eth0 after the kernel boots |
| 11:31 Mrfai | istaz: read and execute |
| 11:31 Mrfai | sep: known problem |
| 11:32 Mrfai | sep: not easy to fix, try to influence the order of modules that are loaded by the kernel. This is done inside the initrd |
| 11:32 lazyb0y | but fai runs as root in the nfsroot - so it's a bit strange - sure that the target is mounted read-write, and you don't have some other strange problem? |
| 12:00 istaz | Mrfai: for all user? ? |
| 12:03 lazyb0y | istaz: as I said above: fai runs as root on installation, so, not for all but only for root... |
| 12:04 istaz | lazyb0y: I don't have the no_root_squash option enabled so it make sense that it doesn't work |
| 12:05 istaz | in fact since I stupidly created my user on the server as "fai" I forgot that i wasn't the same user accessing the data |
| 12:06 lazyb0y | istaz: when you don't have no_root_squash for the nfsroot (ineterstiung question: why???), I guess you have many other problems, haven't you? |
| 12:07 lazyb0y | and when your server has a normal user account called fai, you'll also have trouble saving logs and calling chboot... |
| 12:07 lazyb0y | fai-chboot, that is |
| 12:14 istaz | lazyb0y: no idea why, I didn't write the config file, I juste took up the maintaince of the system wich was designer more than 2 years ago |
| 12:16 istaz | and it doesn't seem like it's using fai-chboot |
| 12:16 istaz | fai was at version 2.10 |
| free-x (~oleg@site.lycos.de) joined #fai. |
| 12:20 istaz | lazyb0y: in fact I don't even know what chboot is for |
| Action: istaz is doing a man fai-chboot |
| 12:23 istaz | oh it's for network booting, we don't use that, we boot via CD. PXE doesn't work well with our optical fiber network |

| 12:27 sugarmice | Morning guys. I've got an odd problem with the way certain machines are built by our FAI server, and I'm somewhat confused by it |
| 12:28 sugarmice | 99% of the time, it builds machines absolutely correctly |
| 12:28 sugarmice | But some machines, while it builds without errors, the resulting machine can't configure its network interfaces |
| 12:28 sugarmice | And this appears to be because /dev/shm is completely empty (mounted, but empty) |
| 12:29 sugarmice | Anyone have any idea what I need to look at here? This is FAI 3.1.8, building 32-bit etch machines |
| 12:39 lazyb0y | istaz: ah. |
| 12:40 lazyb0y | sugarmice: random problems are great :) |
| 12:40 lazyb0y | sugarmice: so, it's the same machines, and the same configs which sometimes work and sometimes don't? and their install logs look always "correct"/without errors? |
| 12:43 sugarmice | The state seems to be stable; a give machine will either always work, or never work. |
| 12:43 sugarmice | It looks like some sort of race condiion |
| 12:44 sugarmice | I've just looked at a problematic machine, and the problems seems to be that /etc/init.d/ifupdown is not being run |
| 12:44 istaz | sugarmice: you install all of them at the same time? |
| 12:44 sugarmice | No |
| 12:52 sugarmice | Or if it is being run, it's failing. This may not be a FAI bug at all, of course - it may be a race condition in the standard etch distribution |
| 12:58 sugarmice | I don't seem to be able to find any error messages printed by anything in /etc/rcS.d though - where does that stuff go? |
| 13:03 istaz | hum ... I created a password the way MrFai indicated but I noticed something strange |
| 13:03 istaz | if I do a : fai@di-fai:/fai/config$ export ROOTPW=$1$Yzigllbq$xGz80FWIL7q.kAGCMqnQd/ |
| 13:03 istaz | then fai@di-fai:/fai/config$ env |grep ROOT |
| 13:03 istaz | ROOTPW=.kAGCMqnQd/ |
| 13:04 istaz | it get trunkated |
| 13:05 istaz | if I do a : fai@di-fai:/fai/config$ export ROOTPW=\$1\$Yzigllbq$xGz80FWIL7q.kAGCMqnQd/ |
| 13:05 istaz | oups |
| 13:06 istaz | if I use \$1\$ it works |

| 13:18 istaz | ok I just had to use ' instead of ". Where are you basic bash knowledges when you need them? |

| 13:58 chtp | nabend. habe einige probleme ein 32 bit nfsroot zu bauen auf einem 64 bit system. der client bekommt immer 64 bit kernel per pxe (pxelinux.0), obwohl ich fai-setup aufrufe mit "FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP = .. -- arch i386" in /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf. hat jemand eine idee, was ich noch beachten muss? |
| 13:59 oz_ | chtp: benutze ein 32 Bit system zum bauen der nfsroot... |
| 13:59 oz_ | dann auf den 64bit server kopieren. |
| 14:00 chtp | oz_: habe dummerweise kein 32 bit system mehr :-( |
| 14:00 oz_ | chtp: ? warum das eine 32bit nfsroot? |
| 14:00 oz_ | s/das/dann/ |
| 14:00 chtp | oz_: hm, dieses --arch flag ist doch genau dafür gedacht oder nicht? |
| 14:01 chtp | oz_: für embedded devices. auf den will man aber nicht wirklich ein fai bauen. |
| 14:02 oz_ | chtp: na, ein 32 bit system ist schnell beschafft, oder? |
| 14:02 oz_ | das andere wär eine komplizierte sache |
| 14:03 chtp | oz_: ich überlege gerade ein chroot mit 32 bit aufzubauen und darin fai zu installieren. war wäre denn dein anderer vorschlag? |
| 14:06 oz_ | chroot oder eben ne andere 32 bit kiste |

| 16:35 istaz | just a tought (I don't know if it's has already been fixed in the latest version) : I have seen that you can now put your base.tgz |
| 16:36 istaz | in basefiles/ |
| 16:36 istaz | but if you provide a different base.tgz you probably also want a different sources.list |
| 16:37 istaz | I modify mine by hand but it would be nice to have it done automatically |
| 17:30 lazyb0y | chtp: ich verstehe dein problem nicht ganz. Du sagst, du hast probleme beim nfsroot bauen, und dann "der client bekommt einen 64 bit kernel" - das nfsroot bauen hat doch mit pxe nix zu tun?! |
| 17:30 lazyb0y | ein 32 bit nfsroot sollte kein problem sein, wenn man die --arch setzt in den fai debootstrap options |
| 17:31 lazyb0y | und welchen kernel dein system per pxe bekommt, stellst du am besten in der pxelinux config ein |
| 17:31 lazyb0y | hmm, ah, moment, und da machts auch schon klick vielleicht :) |
| 17:32 lazyb0y | welches fai nutzt du denn? 3.2.x? |
