I wasn't able to locate a file for the lmce-diskless-tools package

[F1forHELP]

Downloaded the absolute latest image for the 12.04 image from http://linuxmce.iptp.org/snapshots/LMCE-1204-20161120232732-i386.iso and successfully installed.

ssh into the machine and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to pull the latest packages

Because I have 4 media directors I executed

dcerouter_585:~# /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

It started

An update will be out in a day or two that should fix the issue you are having.  Thanks for reporting it!

J.

[F1forHELP]

Thanks.  As I was thinking about it, I never looked to see if the files were in the download cache.

While it might not mean much, I would like to thank you and everyone else who has worked on and contributed to this project!

[phenigma]

Thanks again for the feedback!  The issue is actually the addition of a package that is in the Ubuntu backports repo which was not included in the diskless script.  Hopefully the fix will hit the repo today.  Have fun and thanks again for reporting!

I don't see any packages listed for LMCE

Tried running the Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh afterwards and still received the same error

I am surprised that the packages are not cached at /var/cache/apt/archives.  Looking after this latest update, the only packages that are cached are what was downloaded today.

Not being a bash programmer, could the packages be sourced from the local cache, if available, instead of being downloaded from the internet?

[phenigma]

New lmce packages were pushed to our repo, no idea why you wouldn't be seeing them off the top of my head.

Can you pastebin the output of the following on your 1204 core:

Based on the IGN, it looks like it is not seeing any changes in the repos.  My sources.list as set by the installer:

dcerouter_585:/etc/apt# cat sources.list
deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ precise main
#deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ precise main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse

I don't want to go back to 10.04.  I could burn it down and try again.

[phenigma]

That seems strange.  I wouldn't go back to 1004.  1404 is the recommended install these days (and 1604 is likely working as well.)  The package dates you're seeing don't match with the latest version.  You're seeing the previous version.  I'll check the repo more thoroughly when I get home later today.

J.

[phenigma]

Hmm, so it looks like the updated package didn't make it to the repo.  We'll get it updated properly.  Sorry about the confusion and thanks for the feedback!

J.

[Marie.O]

See if it works now.

Since 14.04 is the recommended install, I will just burn this down and reinstall.  Fighting repositories that are four years old doesn't sound like a good use of time.

Thank you for your efforts!  This is awesome software!

[Marie.O]

I have done a full rebuild, and put new debs up. Please try one last time. If you still don't get the new packages, something must be very screwy.
