[openthinclient-user] No boot file name received

[hv]

Trying to install and test openthinclient on a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE and
jdk1.6.0 on the server and VMWare Fusion running on MacOSX .
The server starts

but the client doesnt boot and stops with

There is some conversation running:

Looking on what the server logged during startup i found those lines,
indicating that the problem is the NFS Service:

I've changed nothing on the defaults config, just created a minimal
test-environment..
especially the (mentioned above) [PathManager] file

/export/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs-paths.db

is simply emtpy.


Executing showmount -e on the server results in
---
Exports list on localhost:
/export/openthinclient Everyone
---

So, what's wrong ?
Did i miss to configure something ?

but the client doesnt boot and stops with
PXE-E53 - No boot filename received.

Ok, that means he did not get anything in the PXE phase, which could
mean two things:
a) the TFTP server is not working, that could be checked by trying
to retrieve "/pxelinux.0" from the server via TFTP
b) the client is not yet configured in the manager. Could you please
check whether the client appears in the "PXE Clients" or in the
"ThinClients" section of the manager? If it is in the "PXE Clients"
section, you will have to right-click the entry in the list and
select "Bearbeiten" ("Edit") and configure the ThinClient. (You
will want to create a Standort (Location) and a HardwareType
first though).

It's a dual Quad-Core Xeon w/2.0 GHz and 8GB RAM running FreeBSD 7.0-
RELEASE in 64bit-mode, if that matters.
The machine is not yet in productive use , so i have the chance to
do some tests like evaluating openthinclient.

a) the TFTP server is not working, that could be checked by trying
to retrieve "/pxelinux.0" from the server via TFTP

doing just a

and the server logs accordingly:

It tries to send the PXE information, so that one works, too, which
looks good.

Now it might be interesting to look at the network traffic. Given
that you installed it in a virtual machine, it should be possible
to have a look at the shared interface from a second vm or the host
itself via tcpdump or wireshark (even better because of instant
interpretation of the packets).

We did have some problems with different OSes due to their different
networking stacks and it could be that FreeBSD has to receive yet
another handling when it comes to binding to network interfaces.

But this would rather be something that Martin Kreiner can help you
with as he is more at home in that field. Martin?

hi henry,

first of all three questions:
- are you using version 0.2.0 of openthinclient.org?
- is jdk1.6.0 from sun?
- does your server have multiple interfaces configured?

well this is maybe a new one ;-(.
somehow it is not possible for the integrated java-nfs-server to use FreeBSD's
running portmapper/rpciod. for some reason the portmapper could not be
contacted successfully at the given host.

please paste the output of:

- "rpcinfo -p" on your server
- "rpcinfo -p <your server name / ip>" from a remote machine
- "cat /etc/hosts.allow" on your server

maybe this is the problem: it looks like you are exporting the directory of
your openthinclient installation via NFS. please try to:

- stop FreeBSD's nfs server before starting openthinclient,

or:

- deinstall the openthinclient-server-nfs via package manager and use FreeBSD's
nfs-server. this alternative needs additional configuration steps on both side!
i can provide you additional information if you want to use the FreeBSD-nfs-server.

No, but it has ipv6 enabled, if that matters.

- "rpcinfo -p <your server name / ip>" from a remote machine

while the openthinclient server is running, no nfsd/mountd started by
me:
adminx:henry$ rpcinfo -p hotrat
program vers proto port
100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 4 udp 111 portmapper
100000 3 udp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100000 4 7 111 portmapper
100000 3 7 111 portmapper
100000 2 7 111 portmapper
100007 2 udp 681 ypbind
100007 2 tcp 699 ypbind
300019 1 tcp 916 amd
300019 1 udp 861 amd

i assume the mountd will be started by openthinclient (since it dies,
according to the log) ?

- "cat /etc/hosts.allow" on your server

This should'nt be a problem, see the marked block!-)

maybe this is the problem: it looks like you are exporting the
directory of
- stop FreeBSD's nfs server before starting openthinclient,

the server is stopped and sharenfs=no (this is a zfs fs) now.
before the server was off, but sharenfs=on, that was the reason that
is showed as exported.
now the server shows nothing as exported:
---
***@hotrat:~$ showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:
***@hotrat:~$
---
but this hasn't changed anything.

- deinstall the openthinclient-server-nfs via package manager and use FreeBSD's
nfs-server. this alternative needs additional configuration steps on both side!
i can provide you additional information if you want to use the FreeBSD-nfs-server.

eventually later, but not for now. I always prefer the defaults for
evaluation/setup purposes.

- does your server have multiple interfaces configured?

It has two interfaces, but only one is configured at the moment.
No, but it has ipv6 enabled, if that matters.

ipv6 is not supported/tested yet. if you can't use ipv4 on your network try to
change the "JAVA_OPTS" in "bin/run.sh": replace
"-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" with "-Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true".
i doubt this will do the trick but it's worth a try.

i filed this issue here:

see https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-138 on this one. there
is a workaround.

???

under some unknown circumstances the DHCP proxy does not honour the default
"start file" parameter ("/pxelinux.0") that is assigned to the client's
hardware type.

edit your hardware type configuration(s) to use "pxelinux.0" as boot file name.
(the grayed out default entry "/pxelinux.0" needs to be overwritten).
