Subject: Configuration of ldm-server during install hangs

Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:43:20 +0200

Package: ldm-server
Version: 2:2.0.48-1
Severity: normal


I was installing ltsp-server-standalone. During the installation it stopped responding at:
Setting up debootstrap (1.0.20) ...
Setting up ldm-server (2:2.0.48-1) ...

Looks like a process turned into a Zombie:

After purging ltsp-standalone and reinstalling it seems to configure, without hanging.

A different issue is that ndb-server doesn't start, with the following message:
Setting up nbd-server (1:2.9.14-1) ...
Adding system user `nbd' (UID 105) ...
Adding new group `nbd' (GID 108) ...

** (process:4331): WARNING **: Could not parse config file: Could not open config file /etc/nbd-server/config.
** Message: Nothing to do! Bye!
 nbd-server.

I'm trying to get Swap over NBD to work. Should I add a config file or is LTSP suppose to do this automatically?
Thanks for your work.

i just did a clean squeeze install, ran:

  apt-get install lxde-core ltsp-server-standalone
  
and had no such problem.

the only thing the ldm-server postinst script does is a call to update-inetd.
maybe update-inetd was installed(it's a dependency of ldm-server), but not in a
functional state(update-inetd might have been unpacked but not installed). if
that was your problem, we might need to explore using pre-depends.

this sounds to me like a minor bug in the nbd-server package; it's a bit too
noisy with the default install. please report it against nbd-server.

see the docs in /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/swap.

this seems to be the same problem as reported in:

since ldm-server.postinst doesn't use debconf, i'll remove it in the next
