[Ltsp-discuss] jetpipe won't start

[William Fragakis]

Hi all,
Running LTSP ltsp-server 5.4.2-6+deb7u1 on Debian Wheezy (7.9)

For the life of me, I can't get jetpipe to run automatically at boot.

If I type on the client
jetpipe /dev/usb/lp* (0 or 1 as appropriate)

it begins with no problem. Printers start spewing pages.

lts.conf looks like this (partial):

[default]
LTSP_CONFIG=True
#SOUND=True
#LOCALDEV=True
#CONFIGURE_X=False
LDM_DIRECTX=True
#SERVER=192.168.0.254
#PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/usb/lp0
#PRINTER_0_PORT=9100

# print servers
#ws144
[3c:4a:92:d3:7d:f4]
PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/usb/lp0
PRINTER_0_PORT=9100

I've tried all sorts of permutations, including
PRINTER_0_DEVICE="/dev/usb/lp0", adding PRINTER_0_TYPE=U and even
editing scripts which move jetpipe initiation to ltsp-client-core.conf
(as mentioned in Ubuntu 14 bug reports).

Any insights or suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
William

Alkis (and the list),
Thanks for the quick reply. It seems that my jetpipe problem was more
of a general issue of that the clients won't use the lts.conf

Your suggestion was very helpful in getting me to this point and I
appreciate it.

Situation so far:
1) Jetpipe only works from command line

2) Tried your solution which is exactly what I was looking for but it
failed, too.

3) Found and corrected that tftp was serving from /srv/tftp rather than
/var/lib/tftpboot.

Logging into a client, I can download via tftp the lts.conf file from
/var/lib/tftpboot (just to verify it gets there properly)

4) Since I'm using NFS, lts.conf file in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386,
is found at boot and appears properly in /etc/lts.conf

5) However, everything in /var/cache/ltsp just shows defaults and
doesn't indicate that the lts.conf file has been read and parsed. I've
stripped down to a most basic lts.conf file
as follows:

[default]
LTSP_CONFIG=True
LDM_DIRECTX=True
RCFILE_01="/usr/sbin/jetpipe /dev/usb/lp0 9100"

Neither this nor about 50 other attempts have worked.

6) I haven't attempted to update anything as I don't want to bomb an
otherwise working system on a Sunday night.

7) Situation seems to be that lts.conf is installed and should be found
but somehow isn't being parsed.

Any insights or suggestions would be welcome.

Many thanks,
William
