Hello. I'm finally replacing my single nic 10.04 Ubontu LTSP
classroom server with a new box. I have found Alkis' writeup on how
to do a single nic install. My new system is a 64 bit box and I
wonder how I should generate an i386 image for my classroom clients?
Here's the page that I've been following:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
The instruction:
ltsp-config lts.conf
generates /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/lts.conf ... a 64 bit labeled file
ltsp-update-image --arch i386 doesn't work as the --arch isn't
recognized...
/usr/sbin/ltsp-update-image: unrecognized option '--arch'
Also, I suppose the procedure only works with a 32 bit system as the
ltsp.conf file listed refers to-
gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
I sure could use some suggestions. I had already ordered the parts
for a new server and they arrived last Friday. I rebuilt an image on
my old Ubuntu server on Monday that includes the mit app inventor. I
powered the machine off after the image was created to blow it out
only to discover that the power supply was bad and already fried part
of the motherboard. I had been running it headless and hadn't noticed
the video was gone. I did notice a smell last week though... $@#@%@
At least I have the new parts and I'm close to being back up.
Thank everyone
If you use the LTSP-PNP setup, your client and server installation
architectures have to match. So if your clients need i386, then you
have to install Ubuntu i386 on the server as well.
If you really want x64 on the server, then you have to use the classic
LTSP setup with a chroot environment and i386 installed there in order
to generate an i386 client image.
