| 03:11 | <ltsp_n00b> Good Evening All! I am getting some errors on my first LTSP install when I run "ltsp image imagename". I've poked around on the git and also through the manuals over the last day or two. My errors are related to pwmerge. Is this the right place to ask for help with this?
| |
| 03:12 | <alkisg> ltsp_n00b: hi, yes this is the correct place
| |
| 03:14 | <ltsp_n00b> alkisg: Ah, great! Thank you. The error I am getting is: LTSP command failed: /usr/share/ltsp/client/login/pwmerge --ltsp --quiet /tmp/tmp.nDrenPXVmN/root/tmp/pwempty /tmp/tmp.nDrenPXVmN/root/etc /tmp/tmp.nDrenPXVmN/root/tmp/pwmerged
| |
| 03:15 | <alkisg> Run sudo pwck, inside the image

| 03:19 | <ltsp_n00b> Forgive me, It is a virtualbox image. I did run the virtualbox instance, get a terminal and ran sudo pwck. It outputted no changes as the last line. I then went back to the server and tried to ltsp image imagename and get the same error. Is that the correct process?

| |
| 03:26 | <ltsp_n00b> It still fails when I run the ltsp image imagename command.
| |
| 03:26 | <alkisg> ltsp_n00b: do you mind if I see over VNC? It's a bit early here and I won't ...be properly online until 2 hour later

| 03:31 | <alkisg> ltsp_n00b: ok the problem is that you're using lvm
| |
| 03:32 | So ltsp can only see your /boot partition, which has no passwd etc
| |
| 03:32 | You need to repartition your image so that it's ideally: mbr, single ext4 partition
| |
| 03:32 | <ltsp_n00b> Ok. Well, that makes sense. I read where it needed the fixed disk size in the VMDK format but must have missed that part of the manual.
| |
| 03:33 | <alkisg> It's possible that this note isn't there in the manual :D
| |
| 03:33 | If so, I should really add it
| |
| 03:33 | The code needs to be simple because these images can also be directly booted by ltsp,
| |
| 03:33 | so they're mounted from busybox, which doesn't have many tools available
| |
| 03:34 | Although it might be possible to support lvm; it's not as difficult as e.g. supporting .vdi images which would need "guestfish" inside the initramfs...
| |
| 03:35 | <ltsp_n00b> Well, it make sense to me that lvm wouldnt be supported if the disk needed to be fixed. I apologize for bothering you with that issue. I knew it had to be something simple that I was doing wrong.

| |
| 03:35 | I do not have a need for lvm, just probably didnt think long enough about that choice when I did the install.
