[08:19] <stgraber> fuzai: we did at least 20 installs of LTSP in 12.04 during release week for testing, so it definitely works fine. You may have a dhcp server conflict on your network or other addressing issues that'd cause the problem.
[08:20] <fuzai> Actually i found the problem
[08:20] <fuzai> nbd-servers configuration files were not being generated correctly and the includedir flag was making it not work
[08:21] <fuzai> when i condensed it into one file and removed that line everything started working
[08:21] <fuzai> i tried 2 fresh installs of ubuntu, and edubuntu before i started digging
[08:21] <fuzai> and all same back to the same problem
[08:22] <fuzai> I've been trying to find the best place to submit a bug about it
[08:22] <stgraber> that's weird. includedir definitely works by default in Edubuntu 32/64bit and Ubuntu alternate 32/64bit
[08:22] <fuzai> Well this is an i7 with fresh installs of the isos from usb pen drives
[08:23] <stgraber> did you install ltsp manually post-install or did you use the LTSP option in the installer?
[08:23] <fuzai> I also noticed that edubuntu if you use lvm2 and mdadm prior to install so you can install on to a complex setup that you need to go in after the install with a live instance, chroot and install lvm2 and mdadm again so initrd gets updated correctly
[08:23] <fuzai> actually i did both
[08:23] <fuzai> the first times i didn't know about the ltsp-server option on the alt ubuntu
[08:23] <fuzai> then on the edubuntu i used it from the installer menu
[08:25] <fuzai> It's working good now, i've got it net booting an ltsp thin client in virtual box over wifi
[08:25] <stgraber> right, ubiquity (graphical installer) doesn't support raid or lvm yet, so it doesn't have the same logic as the text installer to get the needed packages installed
[08:25] <fuzai> right right
[08:27] <fuzai> "stgraber: that's weird. includedir definitely works by default in Edubuntu 32/64bit and Ubuntu alternate 32/64bit" <--- I wish you were here so you could see that this wasn't the case at all for me
[08:28] <fuzai> also apparmor seems to be doing evil things to dhcp server
[08:29] <fuzai> i kept finding permission denied to write it's pid, i tried the simple google fixes of symlinks but that didn't work.  When i removed app armor dhcp server started serving leases correctly
[08:30] <fuzai> Only after that did i find the nbd problem as the thin clients were dropping to the initramfs console
