 * Delete your old LTSP Client chroot
 {{{
 sudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp/i386}}}
 * Create a new LTSP Client chroot
 {{{
 sudo ltsp-build-client}}}

This will set up a new chroot automatically for you, after the command has finished you can just use your Thin Clients as usual.

This page describes how you upgrade your LTSP client chroot on an upgrade from Edubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) to Edubuntu 6.06 LTS

While it is easy to just upgrade your client chroot to the recent package set, it is recommended to rather recreate the chroot to take advantage of all new features (some of them are set up during chroot creation, so you wont see them with a plain package upgrade).

Upgrading the client chroot

  • Copy your servers sources.list file into the chroot 
     sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list
  • Update the package lists in the chroot 
     sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update
  • Upgrade the packages 
     sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgrade
  • Make sure the new client Kernel is used for tftpboot 
     sudo ltsp-update-kernels

After that procedure your LTSP clients have the most recent Edubuntu 6.06 packages available

Recreating the client chroot (recommended)

  • Delete your old LTSP Client chroot 
     sudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp/i386
  • Create a new LTSP Client chroot 
     sudo ltsp-build-client

This will set up a new chroot automatically for you, after the command has finished you can just use your Thin Clients as usual.
