[K12OSN] howto update

[Paul Mulroney]

Hi Joshua,

I have a CentOS 6.4 server that was running LTSP 5.2.17(?) successfully.  I ran yum update, and didn't notice that it upgraded LTSP to 5.4.5.  Now the diskless workstations won't login to the server.  They boot and get to a login screen, but when the user puts in their credentials they get a "no response from server, restarting".

In trying to resolve this issue I have followed these instructions below, and now the ltsp-build-client fails with some sort of python error.

I also setup a test system, did a fresh install of Cent OS 6.4 and then followed your instructions below, and ltsp-build-client still fails with the same error.  

I'm not sure where to start with debugging this, can you offer any suggestions?

Regards,
Paul.

Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.
