Too bad!

I run this script.

Code:
sudo mount -o bind /dev /var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/dev

sudo mount -t proc none /var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/proc

sudo mount -t sysfs none /var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/sys

sudo mount -t devpts none /var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/dev/pts

sudo cat << EOF > /var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d

#!/bin/sh

exit 101

EOF

sudo chmod +x /var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d

sudo chroot /var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target

Then I run: apt-get install xorg gdm gnome-core

apt-get wants to delete xbmc-diskless-client

Code:
Removing xbmc-diskless-client ...

No diversion `diversion of /usr/bin/update-notifier by xbmc-diskless', none removed

No diversion `diversion of /usr/bin/nm-applet by xbmc-diskless', none removed

update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-core: file does not exist

dpkg: error processing xbmc-diskless-client (--remove):

subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

Processing triggers for ureadahead ...

Errors were encountered while processing:

xbmc-diskless-client

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Can I delete xbmc-diskless-client or must it be there? How to remove if I can..?

Or how do I get the gnome desktop with wine, firefox, spotify and all necessary.

if you delete the xbmc-diskless-client, your client won't boot anymore (as diskless client) because it'll delete the initramfs script needed to boot.

if you want to run a full ubuntu client instead of just xbmc, you should be using ltsp or something like that, not this package.

I can google it ..
Thanks!

Good stuff otherwise, shame is not enough for me. Smile

I was researching on how to do this with Windows, and it turns out you can boot a windows 7 image using iSCSI? I have experience using nlite/vlite and I think this would be the perfect solution for me (netflix, bitstreaming, etc using ATI hardware). I don't have experience with iSCSI however. Can anyone knowledgeable point me to a good resource? Is there any special hardware required, besides a server?

no special hardware requirements, except for the clients that need network card / bios that supports pxe.

there are lots of manuals around for windows and iscsi. just google it.

Morning

I seem to be having an issue. I am using a DD-WRT router as the DHCP server and I believe it is working correctly, but when i boot I just get a file not found after the DHCP request. I was digging around trying to figure it out and i saw in your checklist to check a file /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default but that file isnt on my system

Code:
root@BITCHTITS:/var/lib/xbmc-diskless# cat /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

cat: /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default: No such file or directory

root@BITCHTITS:/var/lib/tftpboot# ls -la /var/lib/tftpboot/

total 13948

drwxr-xr-x  4 root root     4096 2011-02-19 01:04 .

drwxr-xr-x 75 root root     4096 2011-02-18 12:14 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 10203243 2011-02-19 12:47 initrd.img

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     4096 2010-04-26 02:55 ltsp

-rw-r--r--  1 root root  4037888 2011-02-19 12:47 vmlinuz

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     4096 2011-02-18 12:14 xbmc-netboot

I can see the tftp service is running:

Code:
root@BITCHTITS:/var/lib/xbmc-diskless# ps waux | grep tftp

root      5833  0.0  0.0  14796   332 ?        Ss   Feb18   0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address 0.0.0.0:69 --secure /var/lib/tftpboot

root     24890  0.0  0.0   7432   912 pts/8    S+   13:11   0:00 grep tftp

And i dont see a pxelinux.cfg anywhere on my system

Code:
root@BITCHTITS:/var/lib/tftpboot# updatedb

root@BITCHTITS:/var/lib/tftpboot# locate pxelinux

/usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0

/usr/share/doc/syslinux/pxelinux.txt.gz

/var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0

/var/lib/xbmc-diskless/target/usr/share/doc/syslinux/pxelinux.txt.gz

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

opdenkamp · 2011-02-19, 21:56

create a directory /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg and create a file "default" in that dir.

put this in the file:

Code:
DEFAULT vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img nbdroot=x.x.x.x nbdport=2000 xbmcdir=nfs=x.x.x.x:/var/lib/xbmc-diskless/overlay xbmc=autostart quiet splash

replace x.x.x.x by your server's ip

wyild1 · 2011-02-19, 22:14

Cheers mang. That worked. Sooo its a x64 install? I thought it would have been 32bit. Was testing on my eeepc and it wouldnt boot because its a x64 version and that CPU is not.

Anyway to do a 32 bit? All i did was type lucid in the install distro thingy

wyild1 · 2011-02-19, 22:17

Hmmm ok maybe i understand a bit more. The pxelinux file is x64 because the server is x64. So how/where can i get a different pxelinux.0. I didnt see any created when i made the image

wyild1 · 2011-02-20, 02:11

Ok lol im wrong! I used a different laptop and was able to boot and it is a 64bit install. Why is that? was that because the server it was made of is 64bit? Anyway to make a 32bit image on a 64bit server?

Cheers!

opdenkamp · 2011-02-20, 04:39

nope, not possible (yet).

wyild1 · 2011-02-20, 04:46

OK, well is it possible then to create the image in lets say OpenBox running 32bit Ubuntu, and just copy it back over to said server?

opdenkamp · 2011-02-20, 04:51

sure. the image can be copied to any server you like. you just can't create an image for another arch yet.

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I believe my problem starts here, because it cant download all the files?
and creating an image fails...

Anything i can do to fix it`?
