| 06:22 oz_ | http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php?title=User:BrianShowalter/Using_customized_kernels_with_FAI&printable=yes ? |
| 06:37 teratoma | i tried that... ill figure out where it broke. that's also out of date. it uses several deprecated variables. if i ever figure out the correct procedure, ill make a webpage |
| 06:38 teratoma | or maybe i shouldnt be doing this in lenny |
| 06:39 oz_ | what exactly happens? |

| 07:31 oz_ | are you booting a custom kernel? |
| 07:31 oz_ | did you check that the kernel has aufs support? |
| 07:41 teratoma | im trying to use 2.6.18 , i have the source right here, i see no metnion of aufs in there. i think im screwed. |

| 07:46 teratoma | my fai server is lenny 2.6.26-1-amd64 . i am trying to netboot a machine with kernel 2.6.18 and lenny. there is some weirdo bug in 2.6.26 that makes old adaptec raid cards not work |
| 07:46 oz_ | uh |
| Action: oz_ must really work now |

| Action: oz_ just tested a new fai-cd, etch, 618 MB |
| 15:31 oz_ | 220 sec install time on vmware |
| Action: h01ger has the crazy idea to run fai on each boot |
| 15:37 MT | take a machine with >4GB of RAM and install most of the system into a ramdisk |
| 15:37 h01ger | stripped. it should run in <3 seconds |
| 15:37 h01ger | MT, i'm thinking softupdates, not installs :) |
| 15:38 MT | what about kiosk systems for internet cafes |
| 15:38 MT | you'd better install them after a user logs out |
| 15:38 h01ger | sure. there are definitly use-cases. just not mine :) |
| 15:38 MT | (seen in Sydney, was really nice) |
| 15:38 tokkee | Use LVM snapshots ... |
| Action: h01ger is thinking about thinclients which need to have different configurations.. |
| 15:42 oz_ | NO_PUBKEY EA8E8B2116BA136C ...0o(fsck, what is wrong? me? the universe?) |
| 15:43 oz_ | I just mention it, because so many wrong how-tos are around. |
| 15:44 h01ger | the backports key is not installed by default |
| 15:45 oz_ | NO_PUBKEY DC13E54EAB9B66FD, sorry. |
| 15:46 h01ger | thomas key is not installed by default |
| 15:46 h01ger | thomas key is not trusted by apt per default |
| 15:49 oz_ | would be nice to have a documented download for it... |
| 15:52 h01ger | gpg --recv-keys |
| 15:52 h01ger | http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/HowTo/Desktop - scroll down to the bottom, there is an howto for the multimedia repo. exchange the keyid and be done :) |

| 21:29 teratoma | how do i get aufs support into my 2.6.24 kernel ? |
| 21:33 rgsteele||work | teratoma: What distribution? |
| 21:40 teratoma | debian |
| 21:41 h01ger | is that etchnhalf? |
| 21:42 teratoma | my server is running lenny 2.6.26-1-amd64 . i am trying to stick 2.6.24 or anything lower than 2.6.26 on a fai client,and im having a horrible time |
| 21:43 h01ger | if you use lenny, you should use .26 |
| 21:43 teratoma | i would like to. there is a weird bug in 2.6.26 and aacraid driver that makes the raid array hang forever. |
| 21:44 teratoma | so am i trying to do something that is impossible ? |
| 21:44 h01ger | is that bug filed? |
| 21:44 h01ger | is it maybe fixed in sid? |
| 21:45 teratoma | i am getting hit by this bug: http://fixunix.com/debian/542177-lenny-regression-initrd-lvm-rootfs-detection-timeout.html |
| 21:46 teratoma | it is making my life very painful right now |
| 21:46 teratoma | kf k gl bac, |
| 21:46 teratoma | if i go back to etch ,ill have to stop using setup storage in disk config |
| 21:54 rgsteele||work | h01ger: Don't suppose by chance you happen to know if setting the locale in /srv/fai/config/debconf/CLASSNAME is supposed to set the default locale in the install client? |
| 21:54 h01ger | no idea |
| 21:54 rgsteele||work | Bummer. |
| 21:56 h01ger | guess it shoudl work |
| 21:56 h01ger | or via classes/CLASSNAME.var |
| 22:08 rgsteele||work | h01ger: Yeah, the debconf setting definitely isn't working. |
| 22:09 rgsteele||work | I guess I can just set LC_* to en_US.UTF-8 and export it, maybe that'll work.... |
| 22:11 h01ger | echo $LOCALE > /etc/environment |
| 22:12 rgsteele||work | h01ger: Isn't that stuff usually stored in /etc/default/locale ? |
| 22:15 rgsteele||work | Anyways, I'm fine with doing that, I just wondered why FAI wasn't using debconf-set-selections to set the client's locale information based on /srv/fai/config/debconf/CLASSNAME (unless I read it wrong and that is setting the locale for the NFS environment, not the target) |
| 22:17 oz_ | rgsteele||work: no, it's as h01ger said...in /etc/enviroment |
| 22:17 oz_ | n8te, |
| 22:38 rgsteele||work | h01ger: classes/CLASSNAME.var won't work. That gets executed before the disks are even partitioned. |
| 22:40 h01ger | there you set the var |
| 22:40 h01ger | and then you use scripts/FOO to use that var |
| 22:40 rgsteele||work | That won't work. The scripts get executed after the packages are installed. |
| 22:41 rgsteele||work | By that time, postgres has already been installed and set up, so it's too late. Postgres needs the locale to be set prior to installation. |
| 22:41 h01ger | use a hook then |
| 22:42 rgsteele||work | This is really the accepted way of doing things? There's already a debconf hook, I have no idea why it doesn't work. |
| 22:44 h01ger | then file a bug :) |
| 22:44 h01ger | but a hook should let you workaround the bug |
| 22:44 h01ger | so please, do both :) |
| 22:44 rgsteele||work | Heh, okay. |
| 22:44 h01ger | thx already :) |
