No reaction following lts.conf changes | partly SOLVED

[Radek Bursztynowski]

William,

Many thanks. I checked lts.conf - you are right, one line in my lts.conf had "Trye" word instead of "True" - this mistake eliminated one line only.
My general mistake was in different place.
I can manage different client images now, but all of them from /var/lib/tftpboot/i386/lts.conf file only.

I wrote yesterday that SL 6.1 image works fine, like epel-6-i386.

Fedora 11 image needs edit /chroot/etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd file and replace rootdev="192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386"
with my present directory: rootdev="192.168.1.229:/opt/ltsp/5.2.i386-fed11"

But I still don't understand, why thin client reads /var/lib/tftpboot/i386/lts.conf only. But I retake different thin clients images management. It's wonderful and I can use i586 machines too.

Last my problem is that I can't log in to ldm using older clients images (SL 6.1, Fedora 14, 11) while I executed ltsp-update-sshkeys.
But I am going to move this my problem to separated subject on this list.

Thanks again everybody who supports me.

Best regards,
Radek

Radek,
This may be of no assistance but I seem to recall in an earlier post
that one of your "true" statements in the lts.conf had a typo (iirc,
TRUE was misspelled).

William (who spent way too much time looking for lost semi-colons in
perl scripts)

Radek, I think we've made this more difficult than it needs to be. I'm going to go back and do a fresh install of SL 6.4 and LTSP according to the wiki instructions. I think somehow a step got missed and this is leading you to do a whole bunch of extra work. I'm going to try to document this better.

Which wiki instructions are you referring to? the documentation that is
most current is in a file named something like README.rpminstall bundled
with the RPM. I've been out of touch on my email what seems to be the
specific issue?

I was thinking of these installation instructions http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Category:Fedora that are linked to from here https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/InstallGuide
I'd be happy to try and keep the wiki up to date since I have a login there. It seems like we've had some communication discontinuity with LTSP on RH/Fedora/EL. Every time the old website seems to get abandoned, and some of the knowledge is getting lost, except on this mailing list! Going from K12LTSP using LTSP 4 (thank you Eric H and Jim B!), to K12Linux revived by Warren on F11-14 and EL, to new LTSP on EL6 and Fedora 17/18 ... whew I feel old!

So I went back and tried to install LTSP on a fresh install of SL6.4 and I got an error doing yum install ltsp-server. It couldn't find the package for mock in any of the default repositories apparently. Nothing on either wiki.

Hi,

Thanks for replay.
I use http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Category:Fedora instruction, and after
yum install ltsp-server I viewed all files in /et/ltsp direcotru and
README.rpminstall too.

I have no problems with log into with epel-6-i386 thin client image. I
have problem with log in with SL 6.1 image restored from my backup. Thin
client boots with SL 6.1 image, but I can't log into via LDM.
I execute ltsp-upadte-sshkesy - still nothing, ltsp-update-ssheys -u too
- still nothing.

I repeat - epel-6-i386 works fine.

Radek
