| kaingeo | hi guys i want to ask a question about ubuntu ltsp 8.04.1 | 07:13 |
|---|---|---|
| kaingeo | is anyone awake? :) | 07:14 |
| GJ | Can anyone help me with updating LTSP chroot? | 21:48 |
| GJ | Seeing no suggestions, I'll try another question. | 22:12 |
| GJ | While upgrading to 8.04.1 I got the message "edubuntu-server could not be installed due to a dependency problem" | 22:13 |
| GJ | Should I reformat the hard drive and rebuild the server or what? | 22:13 |
| stgraber | what dependency problem ? | 22:16 |
| GJ | It didn't say. | 22:17 |
| stgraber | are you using moodle ? | 22:17 |
| stgraber | that's what edubuntu-server is for | 22:17 |
| stgraber | since 8.04, LTSP is no longer part of edubuntu, it's in Ubuntu instead. So edubuntu-server is what was called edubuntu-content-server | 22:18 |
| GJ | That explains the message. Moodle was not configured. | 22:18 |
| stgraber | and ltsp is now ltsp-server | 22:19 |
| GJ | OK. So I guess what I need to know is how I get the thin clients to boot. Since the upgrade, they do not boot. | 22:19 |
| GJ | Do I have to create a new boot floppy disk? | 22:23 |
| GJ | At the thin client: nfsmount failed: Bad file descriptor | 22:25 |
| GJ | Mounting 192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /root failed: Bad file descriptor | 22:27 |
| GJ | Etc. | 22:27 |
| GJ | So either there is something wrong with the boot floppy disk or the boot image on the server is messed up. | 22:28 |
| stgraber | GJ: did you build a new ltsp chroot after you upgraded the system ? | 22:38 |
| GJ | No. That's why I asked the first question above... which no one responded to. | 22:41 |
| stgraber | ok, did you do any change in it that you want to keep ? | 22:48 |
| GJ | Sorry. In what? | 22:53 |
| GJ | I should add: I inherited this system only a few days ago and found it about two years out of date. | 22:53 |
| GJ | There had been a lot of turnover in personnel the last two years. | 22:54 |
| stgraber | ok, so just backup /opt/ltsp/i386/ by moving it somewhere else | 22:55 |
| stgraber | then run: ltsp-build-client --arch i386 | 22:55 |
| stgraber | that'll take a while as it'll regenrate the thin client system and update the server configuration files to make it boot (let's hope) | 22:55 |
| GJ | OK. I'll do that. | 22:56 |
| GJ | Oh. How do I run that command? | 22:57 |
| GJ | I must have to use sudo, right? | 22:57 |
| stgraber | yes | 22:58 |
| GJ | Process exited because /opt/ltsp/i386 exists. I guess I just made a backup copy rather than moved it to a new name. It's been so long since I worked with linux I forgot how to change the name of a directory. | 23:11 |
| GJ | I can't get rid of /opt/ltsp/i386. How do I delete it? | 23:20 |
| stgraber | sudo rm -Rf /opt/ltsp/i386 | 23:21 |
| GJ | Frustrating! As it tried to remove things, I got "operation not permitted" or "permission denied" | 23:26 |
| GJ | I tried to unmount /proc. However, "device is busy" | 23:32 |
| GJ | And because /proc is busy, I can't delete it. Should I shutdown the server and try again? | 23:33 |
| stgraber | sudo umount /opt/ltsp/i386/proc | 23:35 |
| stgraber | if that doesn't work, reboot the server if you aren't using it for other things, it'll be the fastest way to solve the issue | 23:36 |
| GJ | OK. I now have ltsp-build-client running OK. | 23:39 |
| GJ | Thanks! | 23:39 |
| stgraber | np | 23:50 |
