I was able to get root access by doing $ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/amd64 passwd -u root $ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/amd64 passwd
and setting the password. As I guessed, cups isn't starting. In fact, when I look in the rc.d directories, all mentions of cups are K50cups files, meaning that cups is getting killed, rather than started. Once I start cups manually, using the root account on the client, then login in as a normal user, everything works fine. There's something funky about trying to install cups in a chroot. Because the installation script tries to run the cups server as part of installing, and fails because it's in a chroot, the cups daemon doesn't get set up to start on boot. Any ideas?
