[10:05] Hi looking for help with FAI! :) [10:08] oz_ (~oz@anubis.coresystems.de) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [10:08] Wondering if it will be useful since im building a beowulf cluser for a renderfarm at my uni [10:12] dot|frier: of course it will be useful :) [10:12] awesome, sorry im a total new with linux [10:13] So I guess i just download this 600+ meg FAI and it will install on my master server? [10:13] 600+ meg?!? [10:13] exactly um [10:13] i'm not sure what you're looking at, there [10:14] i downloaded fai-cd-3.2.16.sio [10:14] iso* [10:14] you have a lot to learn about linux [10:15] we don't generally download software from random places on the internet, especially not if it's available via apt [10:15] especially not random versions of software with random configurations... [10:16] Ok, if i have an FAI install CD do i have to physically insert the CD into all my node servers [10:16] if you are installing a beowulf cluster you don't want to use fai-cd [10:16] Is there a good tutorial on this [10:16] ok [10:18] dot|frier: in the fai guide, there's a chapter about beowulf installation. Read this chapter. And learn linux and Debian. It's not just inserting a CD. It's much more than this [10:20] ok thanks found the chapter [10:21] Guest321 (~oz@anubis.coresystems.de) joined #fai. [10:21] mgoetze: now it's working thx for the hint [10:25] Guest321: gerne :) [10:42] this tutorial seems well written, but is for debian 2.x.. hope its ok for debian 5.0 :/ [10:43] thing change too fast sometimes, sometimes not. [10:43] i guess it's not generally expected that people without linux experience try to install a beowulf cluster [10:50] mgoetze: but it's reality. [10:50] I cannot stop wondering.

[13:47] hm in /var/log/live.log on my attempt to run an ubuntu nfsroot generated on a lenny server, it says: /init: /init: 14: wc: not found [13:48] does anyone have an idea what that means? [13:49] coreutils missing in the nfsroot? [13:50] i don't think the full nfsroot is active at that point? maybe an initrd problem? [13:52] no busybox in the initrd? [13:52] Action: mgoetze tries to remember the magic cpio incantation [13:53] there's a busybox, but no wc [13:54] funny, line 14 of /init is a comment... [13:54] kai_bo (~kai@statdsl-085-016-072-173.ewe-ip-backbone.de) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [13:58] mgoetze: I'm sure we already had this stupid wc problem with ubuntu. [13:58] IIRc ubuntu did not include wc into busybox, but live-initramfs (or something else) does need it [14:00] wc: applet not found [14:01] whatever busybox is trying to tell me :) [14:10] yes, i see some search results on the mailing list, guess i will trawl through those [14:12] gnarf i really hate things which require manual modification of the initrd, it's so dirty [14:21] IIRR newer versions of ubuntu busybox are fixed and include wc [14:22] unfortunately, i have to install ubuntu 8.04 :( [14:23] i really wonder if anyone will ever get a newer fai version working cleanly for a future ubuntu release [14:26] This will not happen unless some cares about FAI support in Ubuntu. And someone has to work on it. [14:26] Currently noone from the Ubuntu FAI team is working on this :-( [14:27] So, I someone like to help (and do some work), please joint this team: https://launchpad.net/~fai [14:27] But do not join without really working on it [14:28] i don't like ubuntu, i just have to install it :( [14:31] Action: oz_ only could do it if someone would pay [14:45] aber eigenltich beweg ich mich grad wieder von ubuntu weg. [14:45] bis auf eine #nette# desktop config finde ich nichts besser als bei debian. [14:46] schlecht find ich den releasecyle von denen [14:46] und wenn ich richtig gehört habe, tut marc alles das das in debian einzug hält- [14:51] kardan__i (~kardan@p54BE5ACE.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #fai.

[14:56] nach heftiger diskussion hat das releaseteam den dezember-freeze zurueckgezogen und angekuendigt mit diversen teams zu reden bevor sie ein neues zieldatum bekannt geben [14:57] Action: oz_ bevorzugt "It's ready when it's ready" [14:57] planen kann man ja trotzdem. [14:58] ja, marcs idee war ja erstmal nur zusammen zu freezen [14:59] nach dem motto "ihr fixt die meisten unserer bugs, wir releasen, ihr koennt dann spaeter ein release machen mit den gleichen versionen die wir schon einige monate zuvor herausgebracht haben" [15:01] der soll sein ubuntu machen. [15:01] ich hab hier ein paar ubuntu server die ein kollege eingerichtet hat [15:02] das sich die büxen die am meisten trouble machen [15:02] soweit meine erfahrung mit "ubuntu-server" [15:03] joa, ich bin sehr froh dass wir sowas nicht intern haben, sondern nur als kundensysteme [15:04] :-) [15:04] Action: oz_ rottet das fleissig aus und ersetzt das mit Debian [15:16] siggg (~jean@AVelizy-151-1-36-105.w82-120.abo.wanadoo.fr) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [15:20] tokkee (tokkee@osprey.tokkee.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [15:29] verwilst (~verwilst@router.begen1.office.netnoc.eu) left irc: Quit: Ex-Chat [15:30] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [15:46] tokkee (tokkee@osprey.tokkee.org) joined #fai.
