Yup, it's a bug in
/usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Debian/030-fat-client:

if [ -n "$option_fat_client_desktop_value" ]; then
FAT_CLIENT_DESKTOPS="$(echo 
$option_fat_client_desktop_value | tr ',' ' ')"
EARLY_PACKAGES="$EARLY_PACKAGES $FAT_CLIENT_DESKTOPS"
fi

It is only respected if passed via commandline.

The Debian/030-fat-client hook also has a couple minor other issues;
I'll get it fixed upstream tomorrow, and try to get it into the upcoming
Debian release.

The Debian implementation is a little different and it doesn't do much
other than add packages to the list of packages to install.

[Ltsp-discuss] ltsp-build-client.conf and fat-clients

2016-12-07 Thread Finn Andersen
Hi!

I'm about to install LTSP on Debian Jessie and tried to enter values into
the  configuration file  /etc/ltsp/ltsp-build-client.conf, to build a
fat-client image.

I defined this variable
FAT_CLIENT_DESKTOPS="mate-desktop-environment"

But mate is not installed in the image after i run ltsp-build-client. I
know I can use the following commands afterwards. "ltsp-chroot -m;apt-get
install mate-desktop-environment"

But isn't the build-script supposed to use the FAT_CLIENT_DESKTOPS
variable? Is it a bug?


I've read somewhere that the --fat-client parameter is Ubuntu specific, and
does not apply to Debian. The Debian Jessie server is installed headless -
no X, just text console.


Could anyone shed som light on this?

Thanks,
Finn
