alkisg: Hi, as I have some (very) old 32 bits laptop, could you tell me if it's possible to add an 32bits xubuntu image to my 64 bits LTSP server (Linux Mint 20.1) ?
06:54
<alkisg>
Jean-Philipppe Houbion: sure, if you name it x86_32 it'll be automatically selected by the clients
06:54
An alternative way would be to install xubuntu 18.04 32bit for all clients
06:54
And have a single image for all
06:55
<Jean-PhilipppeHo>
alkisg: is there a tuto somewhere i can follow to do it ? I guess I have to download the 32 bits image, put it in a folder etc etc ... :D
06:56
<alkisg>
Create another VM called x86_32, install ltsp inside it, run ltsp image / like you did now
06:56
Then copy /srv/ltsp/images/x86_32.img to your main ltsp server, and run `ltsp kernel x86_32`
06:56
and `ltsp ipxe`
06:56
That's all
06:57
Then the new VM can be powered off while the clients work
06:57
You just need it to get the image
06:57
Oh never mind
06:57
Please ignore ALL that I said
06:58
Hmmm....
06:58
OK ok you just want to do a showcase
06:58
Then yeah do it like I wrote above
06:58
While if you decide to actually use ltsp later on, where the real server won't be a VM, ping me to tell you an easier method
07:00
To sum up: now you'll have 2 VM ltsp servers and 2 VM ltsp clients. You'll use the x86_32 VM to create x86_32.img, then you'll copy it to the x86_64 VM, then you'll power off the x86_32 VM (and you'll run ltsp kernel and ltsp ipxe)
07:00
While later on if you get a real LTSP server, you'll be able to do something simpler
07:02

<alkisg> "Create another VM called x86_32,..." <- Many thanks ... again :) I will try it right now :)
