| 09:16 | <eu^1166618835> Trying to get LTSP up and running on RPI4 for a school in India. I installed Linux mint 21 on the server. Followed these instructions: https://ltsp.org/docs/installation/. Configured RPI4 for netboot. Everything works up till the square rainbow boot screen. Then i get a flashing cursor on a black screen. Redid the steps. checked online. Couldn't
| |
| 09:16 | get anything help. THanks in advance.
| |
| 09:17 | <alkisg> eu^1166618835: use raspberry pi os, not mint
| |
| 09:17 | Ah sorry you meant the server OS
| |
| 09:17 | <eu^1166618835> Yup
| |
| 09:17 | I am using Raspberry Pi OS for the clients
| |
| 09:18 | <alkisg> Did you follow that one? https://ltsp.org/docs/installation/raspios/
| |
| 09:18 | <eu^1166618835> Yup Yup. Sorry. Posted the wrong link
| |
| 09:19 | From what i understand the problem lies in how my squashfs image is being generated. The kernel is not loading. and once i even got a kernel panic after keeping the client on for 20 minutes or so
| |
| 09:20 | <alkisg> Did it work at the initial step BEFORE the squashfs image, where you netboot a single client?
| |
| 09:22 | <eu^1166618835> At boot, the RPI bios page opens up and starts looking for a network connection. It finds it, gets an IP and begins to load the page. The initial image pops up https://raspberrytips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/raspberry-pi-not-booting.jpg. Then it goes to a flashing cursor and nothing
| |
| 09:23 | sorry. I just understood your question. No it doesn't boot at that stage
| |
| 09:23 | you're right, must not be the image then
| |
| 09:29 | unable to mount root fs via NFS, Kernel panic
| |
| 09:29 | this is the error i just got.
| |
| 09:30 | Seems like an NFS issue. Sorry I bothered you with this. and thanks for taking the time. Appreciate the help from the lead developer.
| |
| 09:30 | <alkisg> No worries! Do you need help with the nfs part?
| |
| 09:31 | <eu^1166618835> if you can help, please
| |
| 09:31 | How do I start to troubleshoot?
| |
| 09:38 | <alkisg> Upload a screenshot of the "unable to mount root" issue

| 17:12 | <SysadmOFF> Hi, looks like im only one who is makes some noise here )
| |
| 17:12 | i have another issue
| |
| 17:12 | ltsp image Parrot.img
| |
| 17:12 | LTSP command failed: blkid -po export /srv/ltsp/Parrot.img
| |
| 17:12 | Aborting ltsp
| |
| 17:12 | I don't know how to mount /srv/ltsp/Parrot.img
| |
| 17:13 | i found old thread with the same error.
| |
| 17:13 | Parrot.img -> ../../home/bcadmin/Parrot-security-4.11.3_virtual-disk1.vmdk
| |
| 17:13 | vmdk is from vmware
| |
| 17:14 | But i saw that i can use vmware hdd for ltsp
| |
| 17:17 | ```
| |
| 17:17 | t
| |
| 17:17 | ```
| |
| 17:30 | <alkisg> SysadmOFF: you can only use a -flat.vmdk, not any vmdk
| |
| 17:30 | The flat one is "raw", so that it can be mounted with losetup and mount, without special tools
| |
| 17:32 | https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp-image/ ==> At the disk creation dialog, select "VMDK" type and "Fixed size", not "Dynamically allocated".
| |
| 17:37 | <SysadmOFF> i see
| |
| 17:37 | wil try to find how to convert
