Hi all, have been trying to patiently set up my LinuxMCE, getting it a little at a time!!!

Have a core eth0 from internet, eth1 dhcp to home network. I have run diskless set up, tried to pxe boot a CF-72 toughbook and it stopped on

Ubuntu 8.10 moon39 ttyl

moon39 login:

This also happens on a P4 desktop except it's "moon49"

I can't find a whole lot on this, is this an error? I cannot log in using any of the user id's and p/w I normally would have used.

To set the passwd for the MDs:
Code:
chroot /usr/pluto/diskless/XX passwd

XX is the md number, either 39 or 49 in your case.

I assume you see no avwizard, just goes straight to the terminal login? What does it show when you (I think it is) CTRL + ALT + F7?

PLEASE do not set passwords on media directors, if you want to access a media director, log into the core, and ssh to the appropriate moon device...

i.e. if your media director is device 91, as root:

# ssh moon91

We already have public keys in place to not require passworded input.

Come on guys, stop butchering the system.

Hi Thom,

I'll check again when I get home but from memory when I access the MD through the core as you mentioned it doesn't put me as root but as sambahelper@xxx even when I'm root user at the core.

There is a ticket about this. Let me check


http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/780

Could it have anything to do with this ticket?

Just to be clear, you have to do
Code:
sudo ssh moon91
on the core.

This will log you in as root.

CTRL + ALT + F7 doesen't seem to do anything, just sits on the login screen.

No avwizard screen

Ok, am I to understand that the fix is not in the repositories so an apt-get will not really help me?

I just ran the diskless setup a couple of days ago . This whole install is less than a week old so I expect that there would be no change yet, how long should I wait?


Say I was to: #ssh moon49, from the core, what would I need to do there, start x or something?
