I finished a new installation of LTSP-PNP on Lubuntu 13.10, but I find that clients won't boot.
After the Plymouth splash screen, a text screen reads: Error: socket failed: connection refused. Exiting. Then it dumps me to a screen with some familiar good LTSP boot messages followed by unfamiliar bad ones: Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default ok mount: mounting /dev/nbd0 on /root failed: Invalid argument /scripts/init-bottom/ltsp: line 27: panic: not found chroot: can’t execute ‘/usr/bin/test’: No such file or directory mount: mounting /root on /rofs failed: Invalid argument mount: mounting /rofs on /root/rofs failed: Invalid argument mount: mounting /dev /root/dev failed: No such file or directory mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory Target filesystem doesn’t have requested /sbin/init-ltsp.

(initramfs) _ --------------------------------------------- The initramfs prompt is working. --------------------------------------------- Based on the exchanges in bug 951526, it seemed like the output of 'sudo ltsp-update-image' would be of interest.

And to get Internet DNS Name Resolution working, I edited /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf and commented out the port=0 line. I also edited /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf to add OpenDNS, SpiderOak and the Intel Mesh Agent services to the client RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES no-load list. --------------------------------------------- How do I proceed? --John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
