Description Jorge Nerin 2006-02-22 10:16:26 UTC

The ebuild for ltsp-4.1-r1 does not create:
/opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/oldroot/
/opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/proc/
/opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/dev/

and the link from /opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/var to /tmp/var.

The symptom for the first part is a kernel panic with "pivot_root: No such file or directory".

When the directories are created the second part causes X to not load with "fatal server error: cannot open log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log".

The solution is:

mkdir /opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/oldroot /opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/proc /opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/dev

ln -s /tmp/var /opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/var

Sorry I forgot to comment that the symptoms are always in the client machine, the server works OK.

Comment 2 Tarmo Tänav 2006-05-03 18:26:29 UTC

I can confirm this bug. The problem is not initial installation it only happens when ltsp is re-emerged in which case portage probably deletes the directories when the "old" ltsp is unmerged. The problem would probably be solved if "keepdir" was called on the directories in the ebuild.

I discovered another link which is not recreated after re-emerging, explaining also bug #123723. The fix is

cd /opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/etc/X11/xkb/
ln -s ../../../var/lib/xkb   ./compiled
