Once again,thank you for this clarification. For the purpose of writing up documentation for others I now put the steps: These are needed for installing ltsp with a separate chroot for clients as the server is configured for amd64 architecture and some or all clients need i386. Valid for ltsp 5.5.1-1 and 5.5.2-1 1 install dnsmasq ltsp-server-standalone lxde only with ltsp-pnp put ltsp-client on the server 2 add loop to /etc/modules and reboot the server (reported at https://bugs.debian.org/756990) 3 ltsp-config dnsmasq 4 edit /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf to comment out dhcp range line leaving dhcp proxy if the server has just one nic or edit (if needed) the dhcp range line to suit the subnet with clients 5 edit /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf to replace all instances of amd64 with i386 6 service dnsmasq restart 7 edit etc/ltsp/ltsp-server.conf to have ARCH="i386" and DIST="jessie" 8 edit /etc/ltsp/ltsp-build-client.conf to have ARCH="i386" and DIST="jessie" 9 aptitude update && aptitude -y full-upgrade && aptitude clean 10 ltsp-build-client (without parameters) 11 edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf to have BOOT_METHODS=NBD, ARCH="i386" and IPAPPEND=3 uncommented If using ltsp 5.5.1-1 or older then steps 12, 13 and 14 are needed. If ltsp 5.5.2-1 or newer then skip them. 12 patched /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels (using http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/revision/2569 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/revision/2570 ) 13 ltsp-chroot -rm 14 apt-get install pxelinux && apt-get clean && exit (aptitude is not installed in the chroot) 15 ltsp-chroot --arch i386 /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels 16 ltsp-update-kernels (this puts pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg and the latest i386 kernel into /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/) 17 ltsp-update-image (without parameters) 18 ltsp-config nbd-server 19 service nbd-server restart May you all live well Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
