This little issues is driving me crazy, I have search the internet to no prevail. Everything appeared fine until I added an admin user in chroot and did a ltsp-upgrade-image then this error started. I moved /opt/ltsp/i386 to /opt/ltsp/i386-ORIG and i did a sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386

After playing around with it a bit it really appears that after every new build or image update you need to re-run (cat EOF ipappend 3 EOF ) | sudo tee -a /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/{arch}/pxelinux.cfg/default on every build in your LTSP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

Hi Alkis The nbd-server does not start sometimes - it does not start at boot at all. If I try to boot a thin client after server reboot - the thin client drops to BusyBox. If I login as a user and restart the nbd-server manually, the thin clients can login without a problem. I also did a fresh

Question - how and where is nbd-server started during startup ? What could prevent nbd-server from starting ? nbd-server ships an initscript in /etc/init.d/nbd-server If `sudo service nbd-server restart` didn't work, it would be a configuration problem, and since LTSP is responsible for the

Alkis - Thank you for the reply and assistance. The mystery for me was that the nbd-server was actually not loading during startup at all. Finally solved - and it had nothing to do with an LTSP config problem in the end. It turned out to be my own custom startup script that called the Network

OK so your problem is unrelated to this bug report; and I also think it's not an LTSP bug but a misconfiguration. Best way to get help in troubleshooting it would be to join the #ltsp irc.freenode.net channel, or to ask in the ltsp-discuss mailing list. IPAPPEND 3 is required in proxyDHCP mode

Yes I restarted nbd-server after ltsp-update-image. However even though nbd-server was restarted, the daemon is not listening on port 2000. My problem is that upon booting the clients, the clients drop to a busy box shell. If I understand correctly, nbd-server doesn't use port 2000 anymore. Even

perhaps an existing ltsp_i386.conf should be deleted automatically? No, because it would mean that the user manually edited the file, so we should respect his changes. I don't know what created an empty ltsp_i386.conf file in your case. Maybe a bug in some previous Precise LTSP package which
