Update to 18044 #88

Open cyberorg opened 5 years ago

cyberorg commented 5 years ago

MSS and ltsp images have been updated to 18.04.4

Use 16043 or 18043 or 18044 as first argument to this script

sh /home/mss/switchmss.sh

LTSP boot menu is changed to use nfsroot, so do not use any other script that replaces the default menu. English and Hindi desktop are in the boot menu, see what changes are needed for other languages. nbdroot should continue working as before, however it is better if the language desktop also use nfsroot.

See: https://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/ltsp-discuss/thread/68e66999-0187-e5db-ae50-35aaf021ef4d%40gmail.com/#msg36699052

Use 1604 for all other unsupported images.

SMARTCLASS tag is added in pxelinux.cfg/default use that to place other smartclass image in the boot menu, do not replace the default file.

NTP is fixed

http://server should work for non ltsp clients using mssap

@cyberorg facing grub2 install issue while trying to reinstall on old 18.04.2 systems.

Please give the steps to fix that.

When the installer stall at installing grub open terminal

sudo su -

If installer has not stalled but crashed then run the following before chroot.

cd /target && mount --bind /proc ./proc/ ; mount --bind /sys ./sys/ ; mount --bind /dev ./dev/; mount --bind /dev/pts ./dev/pts

chroot /target ps ax|grep apt

kill all the apt install processes but don't close the installer

remove cdrom source from /etc/apt/sources.list

apt update apt install grub-efi grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate grub-install /dev/sda update-grub.backup apt autoremove exit and reboot the MSS

Known downsides of this workaround being that certain cleanup of language packs will remain undone.

Do not use Boot-Repair, in case you have to then make sure it does not uninstall any grub packages otherwise the boot menu disappears.

Works with http://mss.server when server changed to mss.server in dnsmasq settings.

This issue exists with pristine installs as well. This needs to be automated to the max possible until we have a fix.

cyberorg commented 4 years ago

tested the latest install in EFI network booted 2G RAM virtual machine, no grub issue, so the install image and process is fine, on a real hardware with 12G RAM non-efi network boot does not even boot to GUI, even the official ubuntu-mate 18.04.3, adding "toram" to cmdline makes everything work fine on that. There is nothing I can do to fix this kind of weird behavior, it could be bios/hardware related, because if it was something in ubuntu then it shouldn't work on VM either.

intelliant01 commented 4 years ago

I can try once after 23rd to install on another hardware.

At this stage, the max you can do is try to install on a NUC that we have currently baselined. Can send you another one if you need to iterate.

intelliant01 commented 4 years ago

EFI install now works fine on NUC with 4 GB RAM. So issue was somewhere else and not on the hardware/BIOS of NUC. Tested with Dell and Intel NUC anyways. Both succeeded.
