I found a template with (Section "Device") Driver="%%VIDEODRV%%", but it doesn't work and I have no clu how this could work [12:14] you might try something like that? ..replace the %%VIDEO.. string with vga maybe [12:14] perl -pi -e 's/Driver="%%VIDEODRV%%"/Driver=vga/' xorg.conf [12:15] but it does not care about templates, just replaces the string with your driver [12:15] newer xorg version does not need this any more. [12:15] Mrfai: Do you know from which version on? [12:16] mettler: I need it for different machines, so I cannot set one driver, except vesa, but it doesn't vene support 1280x1024 [12:17] the lenny version does not need the driver name, since it detect the correct driver for most hardware. [12:18] Mrfai: thanks, I'll have a look if I can go with lenny. At the moment, I'm searching for a solution for etch unfortunately [12:18] ErKa (keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai. [12:19] you might set your driver as variable, depending on your machine... `lscpi | grep Nvidia` && driver=nvidia [12:19] then perl -pi -e 's/Driver="%%VIDEODRV%%"/Driver=$vga/' xorg.conf [12:19] ^^its pseudo cod && probably not best practice ;) [12:20] ehm perl -pi -e 's/Driver="%%VIDEODRV%%"/Driver=$driver/' xorg.conf [12:21] I think this is a good solution. FAI also did it this way in the past. [12:24] mettler: thanks, I just don't understand the grep correctly. Because it might be intel or ati [12:26] lspci | grep -i Nvidia && driver=nvidia [12:27] searches in lspci output for the string Nvidia if it finds it its true && sets driver=nvidia [12:27] if there was no Nvidia in the output, the grep command would not return a string [12:28] mettler: ah, pretty cool, thanks :) [12:28] && only continues if the previous command copmpleted successfully [12:28] np, have fun [12:29] i have to work on setting up nvidia drivers with fai -today ;) [12:34] do you know if lspci always refers to the video card as "VGA compatible controller"? I want to eliminate the possibility that grep returns e.g. the intel network card (when probing for intel graphic card) [12:37] ;) im not sure, but i get "VGA compatible controller" ..just lookedup a server+notebook nvidia/ati [12:37] and all have the "VGA compatible controller" [12:37] on all my machines it uses VGA compatible controller [12:39] ok thanks, that's quite a good hit rate :) [12:46] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [12:52] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai.

[16:15] any ideas? [16:19] Joelio: did you run fai-setup? [16:19] yes, I did [16:21] Joelio: have you installed tftpd-hpa? [16:21] yes [16:21] it's enabled [16:22] just run a fai-setup -v and I notice that it's complaining about missing packages [16:23] might format the box and start from scratch again.. there's something not quite right [16:42] doh! I think I forgot to add the apt source to the /etc/fai/apt/sources.list!! [16:43] oh well, etch is reinstalled now, at least I know I've got a clean baseline to work from [17:02] looking a lot better now [17:06] allee (~ach@allee.mpe.mpg.de) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [17:31] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [17:32] wie kann man disk_config beibringen die partition ohne dateisystem zu erstellen?

[17:42] thx mgoetze ;) ...da hab ich schon einige versuche unternommen, aber ist schon ne weile her [17:42] Joelio: also, try running tcpdump to see whether tftp packets are actually arriving, and what they're asking for [17:43] aber wurde ja schon lange nicht mehr in der mailinglist erwaehnt ...funktioniert wohl inzwischen alles? ;) [17:43] keine ahnung, nie probiert *g* [17:44] (ich wuerde ja, aber teamleiter hat beschlossen dass fuers aktuelle projekt immer noch alles etch-basiert sein soll) [17:45] mgoetze: There are just ARP broadcasts asking for a DNS name that doesn't exist (I'm not using DNS a.t.m, but the host and fqdn are in the fai server's hosts file) [17:46] damn ^^ -jetzt ist ja endlich boot_degraded_arry in ubuntu gefixxt (war dem wahnsinn nahe weil die raids nicht redundant booten wollten --auch mit setup_storage2) [17:47] Joelio: uhm, always run tcpdump with the -n option ;) [17:47] Joelio: (and really, did you set next-server?) [17:50] I have just set next-server to the name of the fai build box (faibuild) [17:51] I see something like 'who has arp 127.0.1.1 tel 10.255.0.2' ???? [17:51] Joelio: and that's also the one running tftpd, yes? [17:52] yes, but I can't see tftp running in ps aux [17:52] in.tftp localhost and try to download something [17:52] so, gn8 cya [17:52] mettler (~mettler@dsl-62-220-14-162.berlikomm.net) left irc: Quit: leaving [17:52] Joelio: tftpd-hpa is configured to run from inetd by default, you can change it by editing /etc/default/tftpd-hpa [17:53] it's enabled in there [17:53] inetd is running too [17:54] the line is in inetd.conf also [17:54] tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot [17:54] you'll probably want to change that to -s /srv/tftp/fai [17:58] I've changed that, restarted the inetd daemon.. tried again and still get an ARP timeout [17:58] well if you're getting an arp timeout there's either something wrong with your lan or with your pxe firmware [17:59] try a different nic from a reputable vendor ;) [17:59] they're intel NICs [17:59] so, uh, wait, 127.0.1.1? [17:59] yea, that's what I thought [17:59] where'd that address come from? it shouldn't be in circulation... [18:00] no idea [18:00] it's a completely fresh debian etch install [18:00] what did you set as next-server? [18:01] faibuild.. the name of the box [18:01] (at least in /etc/hosts... like I said, we aren't using DNS on this test segment) [18:01] try doing it with ip addresses [18:01] it failed to start DHCP when I did that [18:01] I'll try again [18:02] it works in my dhcpd :) [18:02] ahh! [18:02] I'll try again [18:04] yes! getting closer, it finds the TFTP daemon now [18:04] ... but it fails to load any config :( [18:04] so, did you use fai-chboot? [18:04] no, do I need to do that now? [18:04] yes, now would be a good time :) [18:05] haha, sorry, can you tell this is my first time [18:05] :) [18:05] heh, don't worry, was the first time for everyone at some point... well except maybe Mrfai... hm...
