The yum update worked perfectly. The Macromedia Flash install worked perfectly. The PC clients boot perfectly, the iMac clients boot perfectly. Uum, this is getting very close to a production ready beta, from the things that I have tried and tested. Well done. One little itty bitty fly in the ointment .... when one uses a different IP address for the server thatn192.168.0.254 (I use a 10.x.100.1) the LTSP initialize script passes the that IP address on to the proper config files - etc/dhcpd-k12ltsp.conf, etc/exports, etc/hosts, opt/ltsp/etc/lts.conf but it does NOT pass that address on to the /opt/ltsp/ppc/etc/lts.conf. The X session on an iMac client will not work until you go and change the ip address in that file. I know about it and make the change during my initial install, but there may be users that use PC and then try a PPC client, only to not have it work. Of course this is all based on the change of the server IP address to use something other than the standard 192.168.0.254 Just a little tip - but otherwise an incredible piece of work on the new betas. I have followed the beta process more closely this time as I was in the middle of a demo setup and wanted to demonstrate the new local mounting of USB / CD-rom. The first couple of betas were a bit rough, but this is looking finely polished already. Hat's off to you Eric!

Did a yum *upgrade* instead of update and now my clients won't boot. Shouldn't be so eager before I wake up properly. The client fails at line 74 of /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.sysinit with "modprobe - command not found" then fails to connect to the swap server, and finally with the message "stat of /dev/tty1 failed: no such file or directory" and "stat of /dev/tty2 failed: no such etc" If I turn off NBD swap it still fails with the "stat of /dev/tty1 failed" message. Any pointers on how to fix this? Thanks, Jesse </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Doh! A fine example of a brown-bag release :-( I did test this before I uploaded it, I have no idea how my terminal managed to boot... I found the problem, but it takes a while to build new packages. In the meantime, you can revert to the old package. The 32bit repository has been back-rev'd, the 64bit repository should be done in 10 minutes or so... rpm -e --nodeps ltsp_i386 yum clean all yum install ltsp_i386 -Eric </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> !DSPAM:4474ec09276886470915533! </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
