| 06:02 | <eu^62249362dslxi> good morning, I have a 64-bit ubuntu based operating system (linux mint 20.1) and I want to offer the clients a 32-bit bootimage. I understand that I need to run the command "ltsp image x86_32". I get the message "Image does not exist: x86_32".How can I run a 32-bit client on my 64-bit server? Greetings Tobias
| |
| 06:06 | <alkisg> Good morning
| |
| 06:06 | eu^62249362dslxi: you can type "/nick tobias" to change your nickname if you want (without the quotes)
| |
| 06:07 | You'll need to install virtualbox. Then you'll need to install ubuntu 18.04 32bit (or mint) inside a VM
| |
| 06:07 | When vbox prompts you for a disk, select "vmdk, fixed size"
| |
| 06:08 | Then you'll run: sudo ln -s "/home/tobias/VirtualBox VMs/your-image/your-image-flat.vmdk" /srv/ltsp/x86_32.img
| |
| 06:08 | THEN `ltsp image x86_32` will work
| |
| 06:16 | <eu^62249362dslxi> thank you I'm trying now ...I'll get back to you
| |
| 06:58 | shall i give the command: sudo ln -s "/home/tobias/VirtualBox VMs/linux mint 32/linux mint 32-flat.vmdk" /srv/ltsp/x86_32.img in the VM or the real machine?
| |
| 06:59 | <alkisg> On the ltsp server
| |
| 07:01 | <eu^62249362dslxi> the ltsp server is running in the VM right? i do not have ltsp installed in the real machine.
| |
| 07:02 | <alkisg> What is the real machine OS?
| |
| 07:09 | <eu^62249362dslxi> linux mint 64-bit 20.1 cinnamon
| |
| 07:11 | <alkisg> Does it have virtualbox installed?
| |
| 07:11 | Is ltsp server a virtualbox vm? Does it run linuxmint 64bit as well?
| |
| 07:12 | And where did you put the ltsp client, as a separate virtualbox vm?
| |
| 07:12 | (the client image, the 32bit one)
| |
| 07:20 | <eu^62249362dslxi> now i have created a VM with linux mint 32-bit (linux mint 19.3). the ltsp server is running in this VM. the real machine has linux mint 64-bit (linux mint 20.1) installed. the ltsp client is a real machine (old laptop) with 32-bit CPU. it is connected via the lan network.
| |
| 07:21 | <alkisg> eu^62249362dslxi: if I understood you correctly, you deleted your 64bit ltsp server VM and you created a new 32bit ltsp server VM
| |
| 07:21 | Then you don't need any symlinks etc, you can just run `ltsp image /` inside the 32bit ltsp server VM
| |
| 07:23 | The basic question is: Where do you want to have the ltsp user accounts and their /home? In bare metal or in the ltsp server VM?
| |
| 07:28 | <eu^62249362dslxi> i understood you to say that i should create a 32-bit VM because that's the only way it works. So I created a new 32-bit VM and deleted the 64-bit VM. What do you mean by bare metal?
| |
| 07:28 | <alkisg> Bare metal is the "real pc"
| |
| 07:28 | (10:23:28 AM) alkisg: The basic question is: Where do you want to have the ltsp user accounts and their /home? In bare metal or in the ltsp server VM?
| |
| 07:30 | <eu^62249362dslxi> if it is possible, i would like to install the ltsp server first on the VM for testing purposes and later on the real pc when i understand everything. So I want to create the user accounts first in the VM
| |
| 07:31 | <alkisg> Now you have only one 32bit virtual machine, correct?
| |
| 07:31 | Then just run the "chrootless" command insite it: ltsp image /
| |
| 07:31 | <eu^62249362dslxi> yes
| |
| 07:31 | <alkisg> Remember to put the VM in "bridged networking mode"
| |
| 07:32 | <eu^62249362dslxi> yes this i found out by a few tryings xD

| 07:54 | <eu^62249362dslxi> ok it works. thank you. I would like to ask again out of interest. in what case do i need the symlink? is it the case when i run the ltsp server on the real machine?
| |
| 07:56 | <alkisg> Yes
| |
| 08:00 | <eu^62249362dslxi> ok thanks. do i have to keep the virtual machine running in this case or is the virtual machine only there to create the bootimages? because in this configuration as i have it now, i have to keep the VM running.
| |
| 08:01 | <alkisg> In that case, you won't have to keep the VM running
| |
| 08:02 | <eu^62249362dslxi> ok thanks. can i donate something for your help?
| |
| 08:03 | <alkisg> eu^62249362dslxi: sure, you can send me donations to my paypal, alkisg at gmail dot com, thank you :)
| |
| 08:17 | <eu^62249362dslxi> ok i send. greetings from germany

| 08:23 | <alkisg> Greetings from Greece Tobias
