knoppix-terminalserver wrong!

[Omak]

Hello, all!

The terminal server works great when the server is running from the CD, and the client also can boot from the server. But the client cannot work when the terminal server is running Knoppix from the hard drive. The error message is "Can't NFSmount KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry."

Need help.

knoppix-terminalserver running from the CD, the echo were:

What's wrong?
Help me! Tnx

If I come up with an answer to this one, I will certainly post it as I've been trying to deal with this also. Anyone else had any luck? I'm thinking that the errors are caused because the knoppix terminal server script in /etc/init.d is expecting the server to be running from the cd. I've tried hacking a bit on this script, but havn't gotten it to work yet. Again, if anyone has gotten this to work, please share what you did.

I have solved this problem.

You should copy the directory of "KNOPPIX" to "/cdrom" from the boot CD, include the big image file KNOPPIX. Like this "/cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX". The first KNOPPIX is a directory and the second KNOPPIX is the big image file KNOPPIX.

Try it. I've successed.

Nice solution. One question. Can the client run programs other than the ones included on the CD? In other words can clients run programs that have been updated or newly installed on the hd-installed version of Knoppix? I wouldn't think so, but if you have gotten this to work, let me know.

You want the client can run programs that have been updated or newly installed on the hd-installed version of KNOPPIX? I think it was difficult, but you can do like this way: remaster KNOPPIX to create a new image, then replace /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX with the new one.

Omak,

I understand what you are saying, but would rather try and figure out how to get the terminal server working with an actual installed version of knoppix.

Thanks

I see. You want use the terminal server in a real hd install environment. It's a nice idea. I'll do experiment the day after tomorrow. If I worked out, I'll share it.

Yes if you make any headway on this PLEASE let me know. I've tried it and gotten the same nfs errors as you list above. I'm wondering if it may have to do with the way thing are set up in the /etc/init.d/knoppix-terminalserver script and/or in /usr/sbin/knoppix-terminalserver (the same script I think).

You should read this file -- linuxrc, in the directory /usr/share/knoppix-terminalserver/templates/miniroot.
Within it, there are two lines like this:
#Harddisk-installed script part version has been removed
#(KNOPPIX can be booted directly from HD now).

So, I thought, if we get the script that had been removed, the terminalserver will works great in real hd evironment.
I had send a mail to Klaus Knopper. I hope he can send the harddisk-installed script part version to me, but he did not understand my poor English
.
I hope you can get the script that had been removed. You can describe clear with English. If you get the script, I hope you can send to me a copy. My E-mail: [email protected].

Thanks very much.

I'm sad for my poor English.

Hey Omak I wish I spoke as much Chinese as you do English! You're doing a good job.

Before I read your post I had already planned on sending an email to Klaus (and the developer list) tomorrow. I will still do it. Also I plan on tring to work on things myself a bit tomorrow as well. I will post if I hear bakc from him or make any headway myself.

Thanks for the tip.
