Description Brian Fristensky 2011-03-26 18:12:17 UTC

Description of problem:

Several of the steps described for the boot process make references to files or directories not found in the chroot, and are presumed to be obsolete.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Ed. 0.99, June 2009


The following steps in the Guide do not reflect the actual organization of files in LTSP 5.2.4.5. This is an important problem, since it becomes very difficult to diagnose other problems in this release without an accurate description of the boot process.

The following files or directories are referred to in Chapter 6, but are not actually present in the i386 chroot:

Step 13:  
/etc/event.d
/etc/rcS.d

Step 14:
ltsp-client-setup

Step 16:
ltsp-client-core


This list is based on a recursive search of /opt/ltsp/i386, so it's not just a question of files being moved from one directory to another. These scripts have probably been replaced by something else, but we need to know what those new scripts are, and when they are run.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 16:36:57 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
