| 05:16 | <eu^273447248> I just created an x86 image of debian 11 lxqt, but ltsp terminates abruptly while trying to boot it. Any ideas? (The image only had 1 partition - root).
| |
| 05:17 | <alkisg> eu^273447248: does `ltsp image lxqt` work, and then later on the client fails to boot?
| |
| 05:17 | Also, what is the error message on the client?
| |
| 05:17 | <eu^273447248> Yes sir
| |
| 05:18 | No error message. Just 'Aborting LTSP'
| |
| 05:18 | The splash screen shows up. And then it just aborts the boot
| |
| 05:18 | <alkisg> And above that?
| |
| 05:18 | !splash
| |
| 05:18 | <ltspbot> splash: to disable the splash screen in Ubuntu, in order to see any boot error messages, run `sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default` and remove quiet splash .
| |
| 05:18 | <alkisg> Hmm no, ignore that
| |
| 05:18 | Put this in ltsp.conf:
| |
| 05:18 | [common]
| |
| 05:19 | KERNEL_PARAMETERS="nosplash"
| |
| 05:19 | Then run: sudo ltsp ipxe
| |
| 05:19 | Aaah moment, did you install ltsp into the VM?
| |
| 05:19 | <eu^273447248> Hmmm.... no
| |
| 05:20 | do I have to? (stupid moment)
| |
| 05:20 | installing it now
| |
| 05:20 | <alkisg> Yeah, as the instructions say :D
| |
| 05:20 | <eu^273447248> lol me
| |
| 05:20 | <alkisg> The main thing missing is the squashfs module
| |
| 05:20 | <eu^273447248> I thought "I'll first try to see if debian 11 works, then prepare it"
| |
| 05:20 | doing that right away then. thanks!\
| |
| 05:21 | <alkisg> You should just need `ltsp initrd`, not `ltsp image`
| |
| 05:21 | <eu^273447248> ltsp initrd after installing `ltsp` in the vm? o.O
| |
| 05:21 | I thought any changes to the vm needs `ltsp image` again o.O
| |
| 05:22 | <alkisg> Sorry. I meant `ltsp kern`l, not `ltsp image`
| |
| 05:22 | I.e. the squashfs module is in the initrd.img, so it should suffice to just run ltsp kernel
| |
| 05:22 | Let me write it again, you need ltsp kernel, you don't need ltsp image, nor ltsp initrd
| |
| 05:22 | <eu^273447248> Hmmm... that would be nice and easy. Thank you
| |
| 05:23 | <alkisg> 👍️

| 12:38 | <eu^273447208> What is the usual way to inject an environment variable into a client image? Is there some magic ltsp.conf variable for that?

| 12:40 | <eu^273447208> also, that debian 11 from this morning.... it's stuck at starting a bunch of services (in the clients). I don't know whats going on there
| |
| 12:52 | I have a feeling debian 11 doesn't work out of the box. It seems to be failing to mount nfs directories despite the fact that I installed nfs-common in the image....

| 15:29 | <alkisg> I've tested many debian 11 isos. I don't think I have tested a chroot; you might be missing some essential packages
| |
| 15:30 | Do a normal installation inside a VM and check that it works properly, before using the result as an ltsp image
