LTSP Server Client can not boot error fixed

I was having some difficulties to boot my LTSP computer client. I wrote my error and problem on this previous post here. Now, I fix this problem and now my LTSP client can boot perfectly without any problems. If you have the same problem with me where the client failed to boot, you may try my solution here.

Step 1. Make sure you have fast internet connection. Otherwise, you will need Ubuntu Alternate edition. I highly recommend you to use the alternate CD because it faster than the first method.

Step 2. Log on to your LTSP server. For better speed, I copy all the files and folders inside the Ubuntu Alternate edition CD to my local directory. For example, I copy all the files to /media/alternate-cd

Step 3. Open Terminal.

Step 4. Delete the folder /opt/ltsp/i386. Use this command instead

sudo rmdir –Rf /opt/ltsp/i386

Step 5. Invoke the ltsp-build-client command to re-build the ltsp client.

If you want to use the internet to download the package, use this command:

sudo ltsp-build-client

If you follow my step by copying the Ubuntu Alternate CD content, follow my step below.

sudo ltsp-build-client –mirror file:///media/alternate-cd   ‘please note that I copy the CD files to /media/alternate-cd directory

Or you may try this command as well

sudo ltsp-buil-client –mirror:///cdrom

Then after install ltsp build client, execute this command to update sshkeys

sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys
