Hi I got one question. When I use an iso as an image, the client can see the option and boot from there but it doesn't appears the file system. Is because it's not possible or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help
09:49
<alkisg>
daniel891: not sure what you mean "it doesn't appear the file system"
09:50
Do you want to run `ls` on a client and see the iso itself?
09:50
ltsp-bottom mounts the iso, then gets the filesystem.squashfs inside it and mounts it, then does an overlayfs with tmpfs over it, and THAT'S the live file system
09:52

Good day , how can i make sure that my ltsp client can change password at their own. when they try passwd ,its give passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
09:53
<alkisg>
jannyboy: you need to use ldap for that
09:53
Or ltsp-remoteapps
09:53
<jannyboy[m]>
* manipulation error. I triedchmod 640 /etc/shadow , then ltsp initrd
09:55
<alkisg>
E.g. if you run `ltsp remoteapps gnome-about-me`, then that runs on the server even if it's displayed on the client, so the password change happens on the server where it hsould
09:55
(or mate-about-me if you're using mate)
10:03
<jannyboy[m]>
this command refuse , command not found
10:04
or i have to install remoteapps first ?
10:33
<alkisg>
jannyboy: ltsp remoteapps is available in the latest ltsp version from the ppa
10:33
Which ltsp version are you using? dpkg -l ltsp
10:55
<daniel891[m]>
<alkisg> "ltsp-bottom mounts the iso, then..." <- I mean that the filesystem.squashfs doesn't get mounted and I don't know why
11:08
<jannyboy[m]>
<alkisg> "Which ltsp version are you using..." <- 22.01-1 ubuntu20.04.1

daniel891: paste a screenshot of the boot process
12:37
jannyboy: I guess you're running `ltsp-remoteapps` instead of `ltsp remoteapps`. Read https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp-remoteapps/
12:38
Don't use a dash, try e.g.: ltsp remoteapps xterm

<daniel891[m]>
<alkisg> "daniel891: paste a screenshot of..." <- Mmm which part? I'm following the instructions from here: https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp-kernel/
15:27
<alkisg>
daniel891: I thought you said that the client fails to boot. Show us a screenshot of that failure message.
15:32
<daniel891[m]>
No no, the client can boot fine. I think I misunderstood. Should I see the same file system when I boot from an iso than when I boot from a vm image? (Because I don't)
15:38
<alkisg>
When you boot from a live CD you see a normal file system that is similar but not identical to the file system that you see when you boot from a VM
15:38
I'm not sure what you expect to see but you may mention specific files if you want to do a comparison
15:43
<daniel891[m]>
Okey I'm explaining terribly. My doubt is that if you should see your saved work when boot from an iso.
15:45
<alkisg>
Isos do not have sshfs installed. You either need to use NFS home, or provide the sshfs binary at /etc/ltsp
15:45
Back later with more details 🐱
17:47
daniel891: https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp-nfs/#examples
17:47
This section describes how to serve home over nfs
17:49
https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp-initrd/#examples
17:49
And the section describes how to include sshfs in the initrd because it is not included in live CDs

<alkisg>
You can use either one of them to provide /home to clients that boot from the iso
