On reflection, this doc seems to suggest you need only mount /proc by hand and what you were doing should work. http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/ltsp-updates.html It doesn't say anything about /dev/ though it sounds like you needed it. Maybe let us know if you need to mount that so the handbook can be fixed. I'd be inclined to just install the new packages and not run the upgrade. If your thin clients work now, chances are you don't need the patch and as far as security goes, there's not much you can do on or to a thin client so securing them is probably not that important. > I assume ltsp-build-client, besides downloading all the recent > packages, then runs ltsp-update-sshkeys, ltsp-update-kernels, and > ltsp-update-image? You should assume nothing :-) update-sshkeys is probably not needed as the build process creates the keys within the new chroot, update-kernels probably shouldn't be necessary either as the build process should copy the kernel over to /var/lib/tftpboot. I'm pretty sure the gutsy build-client does build the nbd image also. > Would that therefore also create /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386_new? I'd say probably not, if anything it would be /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp_new/i386 as it's ltsp_new, not i386_new but you'd have to check the script to see if that's exactly what it does. > > Then you can swap them with > > sudo mv /opt/ltsp/i386 /opt/ltsp/i386_old > > sudo mv /opt/ltsp-new/i386 /opt/ltsp/i386 > > Then I'd need to build a new nbd image to go with that, no? Most likely. I'm not so experienced with gutsy as yet as we haven't had time to move to it yet and still run edgy. I've tested it though and the above comments about ltsp-build-client are my memory of it.
