<vma>
hello, i asked about installing LSTP server on ALT Linux a couple of days ago
11:59
i did as alkisg said, it seemed to install correctly
11:59
i put ubuntu client image into /srv/ltsp/images/, the kernel and initrd into /srv/tftp/ltsp/x86_64/
11:59
then i ran "ltsp ipxe", "ltsp nfs" and "ltsp initrd", the only error i got was ltsp couldn't restart nfs-kernel-server because in ALT it's called nfs-server but i just restarted it manually
11:59
but when i try to boot i get this error (sry i don't know if you can upload images here): https://imgur.com/a/dLzHGKd
12:00
<alkisg>
What is the output of: file /srv/ltsp/images/*
12:01
You're supposed to put a chroot in /srv/ltsp/x86_64/, or a VM in /srv/ltsp/x86_64.img, and then run `ltsp image`
12:02
<vma>
oh i thought i just need to copy the chroot image
12:02
thx i'll try to run ltsp image
12:19
sry i forgot to mention i made a client image from server (`ltsp image /`) so i don't have a chroot
12:23
<alkisg>
vma: ah no problem then OK you put it in the correct place
12:23
What's the output of that file command that I said above?
12:25
<vma>
"/srv/ltsp/images/x86_64.img: Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 4.0, 335688470528 bytes, 115459 inodes, blocksize: 78 bytes, created: Sun Mar 27 10:32:32 2011"
12:25
<alkisg>
vma: did you install the ltsp package in the ubuntu image?
12:26
<vma>
i installed in on the server before running ltsp image /
12:26
<alkisg>
(although it should work without it, maybe something in alt linux interferes so it's best to have it installed)
12:27
Hmm, then why is ltsp missing...
12:27
Which ubuntu version is that?
12:27
<vma>
20.04
12:27
<alkisg>
vma, is that client a virtual machine?
12:27
<vma>
yes
12:28
<alkisg>
Would you mind sharing your server screen with me? It'll speed up things
12:28
install x11vnc, then: x11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org
12:28
(the alt linux screen)
12:30
(rebooting, back in 1 minute)
12:33
(back)
12:34
<vma>
sry i don't think i can make it work, the server doesn't have desktop environment
12:35
<alkisg>
How are you watching the VM?
12:35
<vma>
proxmox console
12:36
<alkisg>
If you add this in ltsp.conf:
12:36
under [common]
12:36
KERNEL_PARAMETERS="break=mount"
12:36
Then you run `ltsp ipxe` to update ltsp.ipxe
12:36
Then you reboot the VM, you'll get a shell
12:36
At that shell, see if ltsp is there
12:36
If it's not, then it's missing both from your initrd AND from your ltsp.img
12:37
(while it should be there in both of them)
12:38
The "correct way" to share your screen with me would be to install x11vnc in the computer where you run the browser from where you access proxmox via browser and the server via ssh
12:38
It's OK to say "I don't want to do that", then there's no need to propose screen sharing solutions at all :)
12:38
I'll be online for around 10 minutes more
12:39
<vma>
the machine with the browser is running Windows
12:39
<alkisg>
Then realvnc portable
12:39
(or anydesk)
12:40
<vma>
will it work if i'm behind NAT?
12:40
<alkisg>
Yes, both of them work behind nat
12:40
<vma>
i'll try to set it up
12:40
<alkisg>
Run anydesk it's easier on windows; then you just PM me your number
12:42
https://download.anydesk.com/AnyDesk.exe

<alkisg>
vma: I'm back if you want to continue now
13:51
<vma>
sure
13:53
<alkisg>
vma: let's access the alt linux server
13:53
with ssh or proxmox whatever
13:55
Wait I'm comparing with mine
13:55
To see why you don't have /usr/sbin/ltsp in the initramfs
14:08
<vma>
wow i don't know how to thank you
14:08
<alkisg>
vma: yeah no chance to find that over IRC :)
14:08
<vma>
can you pls explain
14:08
<alkisg>
Hardcoding #!/bin/dash made ltsp not run inside the initramfs where no dash exists
14:08
So I reverted it back to #!/bin/sh,
14:08
<vma>
aah
14:09
<alkisg>
and then I created a small launcher in alt linux, in /usr/sbin/ltsp, which launches ltsp via dash
14:09
(initramfs has "ash", not "dash", not "bash")
14:09
<vma>
thx a lot
14:09
<alkisg>
You're welcome
