When I run the command << kiwi-ltsp-setup -n >> the process gets to the point where it starts "Retrieving repository 'http:__download.opensuse.org_update_11.3' metadata" What do I change so that it will read from my local update repository. The local update repository is already listed in my yast repositories while the ttp:__download.opensuse.org_update_11.3 is not.

I have been trying to create a live CD or DVD with kiwi, and following the instructions from Portal:KIWI - openSUSE All went well with the building and creation of the ISO image, but when I try to boot it I get:
Failed to mount ext3 clic container Failed to mount root filesystem if I press Alt-F3 (suggested in the terminal)the top most error is tune2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /read-only/fsdata.ext3 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. Something I did find was that it may not have permission to use tune2fs.I haven't done any fiddling with the template supplied with kiwi.
Just loaded Open SUSE EDU L I F E 11.2.2 on a Server and like what I see. The install went well and everything came up fine. I like the look and feel of this distro. The GUI features are impressive. Internet connects via eth1 . Sound, CD/DVD works and plays ok/ , grapics all working. I have two NIC cards installed.I am preparing (learning , testing, exploring) with a number of Servers that I want to take to schools in Africa.One of the key components that I need to get up and working is the LTSP. I was delighted to see that this version includes EASY-LTSP with a KIWI component. [SUSE KIWI-LTSP] So I printed out the LTSP/Quick start/Easy-LTSP (Guide) and tried to set up LTSP on my server.I went to KIWI/Prebuild in the Easy-LTSP presentation page.A box popped up with this info:
Prebuild Images:
IP 10.0.0.254

i have OpenSuse 11.3 setup in my home running Easy-LTSP to my 3 kids machines, is it possible to change the LTSP machines to Wifi, I am getting sick of running ethernet cables through my house.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNaturally, hiding the graphical grub screen on a regular installation is easy, by adding either "timeout 0" or "hiddenmenu" to menu.lst. But on a live boot, there seems to be no menu.lst - at least no accessible one.
Although, in some kiwi image types, you can specify boottimeout="n" in the image description's type element, it does not have the intended effect. Here is an example. The following type element's boottimeout attribute will invoke the first grub menu item instantly. Changing the value to zero, not only does not hide the grub screen, but seems to restore the default 10 second time out.
<type image="iso" primary="true" boot="isoboot/suse-11.3" boottimeout="1" hybrid="true" flags="clic"/>
Is there any way to hide the graphical grub screen in a kiwi live boot?
how to get USB disks/sticks to mount on the clients. Is there something with some configfile that needs to be enabled or in the setup of the default image?
Cannot even move files from the USB drive via the servers USB as it is virtual one on a ESXi host.
the school starts on monday (8 hours) and there is about 10GB files that need to put in place before that.
PS. OpenSuse 11.3 all patched with minimum XFCE desktop on the server. easy-ltsp install via 1-click install on the opensuse/kiwi-ltsp page. Server + 20 clients Everything else functions properly but no CD or USB on clients
I just started experimenting with LTSP-KIWI. Setting the system up by quick start guide worked flawlessly. Now I'm trying to add some localapps into kiwi image (using guidelines of wikipage LTSP/Localapps). I changed this line in /etc/sysconfig/kiwi-ltsp:

I just bought a old xeon server and am installing ubuntu 10.10 with ltsp, i have also bought 3 thin clients to add to it, what kind of hub or switch do i need to use with it? also is it straight through or crossover cat5 cables that i need? is there any good sites that i should look at for setting this all up, my end goal is to have educational stuff on them for my kids with internet enabled only at certain times, and have movies available from the server for them to watch.

a friend of mine is doing a small website-project in school (group of ~6 people). They want to use git as VCS and need acces to a server. I have an account on the server from university, but - of course - no root access.
I could create private/public keys for them, to SSH into my account, but I don't want them to have this power I found 'git-shell', which seems to be used for restricted access with git (although I'm not sure whether I understood the functionality).
My question is: Is it possible to configure SSH keys in that way, that the server runs them (and only them) in git-shell in a specified directory (using ~/.ssh/{config,authorized_keys})?
So that they can
- log in with their SSH key
- use git, execute scripts etc.
- use git push/pull from their private+school PC
- work only in a specific directory (like chroot) eg. ~/web-project/

I want to install Ubuntu LTSP on top of an already existing system. However, I want to use a different DHCP and TFTP server. Do I simply just install 'ltsp-server-standalone' with apt and run 'sudo ltsp-build-client', stop the DHCP and TFTP server and stop them from starting automatically? Would I then just copy over the pxelinux.cfg/default file from /var/lib/tftpboot along with the initrd.img and vmlinuz images to the TFTP server?
Edit: Do I need to actually copy the whole /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp directory over to the TFTP server?
Im not able to install the package mesa-32bit from this repository: Index of /repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.3. It tells me to make a huge change on architecture on many packages, plus downgrading mesa to 7.8.2 from 7.9 !
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to test 12.1 M5 on my real hardware, so I have special for this purpose two additional partitions (sda2 (to install milestone) and sda3 (to store installation ISO files)). I am running my stable 11.4 with Grub on sda1.
I do not like to burn DVDs just for short test of one milestone, so I was used to download DVD ISO, to unpack it to sda3 partition with all its files, then I changed Grub to boot install Linux from sda3. Installation complains there is no DVD or CD, then I chose to force installation from hard disk and select sda3 partition and select root directory "/". As I was used to from 11.4 this will start installation as it would be started from DVD.
But I think the problem has appeared since 12.1, where I get message: No repository found. (on sda3 / ), so the installation does not start.
I know this is not official way to install openSuse, but it worked before, and it was fast and easy for me, to install from hard disk.

zypper info kdebase4 shows Version: 4.3.1. OpenSUSE is 11.2. What's different about those 2 repositories? They both appear to be the same. I'd like to get updates for KOffice. I'm using it for project management.
I have a new install of opensuse 11.2 with gnome as desktop & gdm as window manager. Login OK. I added the Gnome community repositories & packman & ran an update.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just purchased openSUSE 11.2 x64 on DVD from osdisc.com, as well as the 5 x64 repository DVD's. The base install went fine, but when I try to add thos's to my software repositories using yast they all have the same listed name, "repository" - I can change that to show "repository disk 1" etc, but when I go to install stuff and the software installer asks for "repository disk 1" I put that in the dvd drive, and it cannot recognise it, spits it out and asks for the same disk again...hmmmm. Should I not change the default name that comes up when each DVD is added to the list? If I leave them unchanged will I be told which is the correct disk to insert, remembering that in the list they all have the same name
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a small installation problem with openSUSE 11.2 I have read the relevant stuff in the forums for new users. I have downloaded openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586-iso and verified the file using MD5. I am currently running windows XP (SP1) on a Fujitsu Siemens V1000 laptop andI am trying to install linux from my hard drive and not from a DVD drive.
The path to the downloaded file on my windows partition is: e:/OpenSuse/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso I have initialised installation and selected sda6 as the partition where the sourcefile is located. and when prompted for the directory, I typed " /OpenSuse/openSUSE-11.2DVD-i586.iso " The installations then proceeded through to "Initialising Package Manager" upon which I get the following message:
" Unable to create repository from url' iso:/? iso=openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso&url=hd:/OpenSuse?device=/dev/sda6"
DETAILS: Failed to mount iso:///?iso=openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso & url=hd:/OpenSuse?device=dev/sda6 on: Unable to find iso filename on source media.
History: - File:/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso not found on medium 'hd:///OpenSuse?device=dev/sda6'
There is an option to try again at which point an additional dialog box appears and I have the opportunity to change things. Other than that, the only option is to cancel and terminate the installation. I've tried the process around 3 times, but if I'm doing the same thing then not surprising I'm getting the same result.
