LTSP local printer in hardy is broken (missing jetpipe script in ltsp-client-core)

ugh, thats embarassing, i'm preparing an SRU

i attached the jetpipe script so people that are hit by that bug can copy it to /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/jetpipe and run sudo ltsp-update-image for a quick workaround

oh, and i forgot, after copying the attached file into place a:
sudo chmod +x /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/jetpipe

is needed to make the file executable (needs to happen before running ltsp-update-image)

Thanks for the fix. I'm a linux beginner and you wouldn't believe how long I spent messing around with cups thinking the problem was there!

fix uploaded to hardy-proposed, will be in intrepid as well

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

I generated a new chroot using -proposed and jetpipe is now here.
Fix confirmed.

Fixed confirmed. Thank you.

root@www:/etc/X11# ls -al /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/jetpipe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3337 2008-01-03 10:11 /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/jetpipe

Copied to hardy-updates.

Hi,
How can I apply this fix?

inspecting the ltsp-client-core package from intrepid, I see that /usr/sbin/jetpipe is included there as well, so closing the intrepid task.

Why isn't this fix added to Hardy?

it is in hardy 8.04.1, thats why the bug is marked "fix released" for the hardy task above.
it was uploaded on may 30

This is not fixed for the LTSP image in Hardy.

Oliver, maybe some "LTSP image" (whatever that is) needs updating? However, as far as I know the client chroot tarball is built during installation, is it not?

well, it is fixed in 8.04.1 which is the default for the iso we provide. i am usually assuming that ltsp administrators know about the procedures to keep their client chroots up to date with security updates and bugfixes as described in the central ubuntu LTSP documentation page on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ or in the upstream documentation under http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream ... but indeed i probably assume to much :)

I installed 8.04, then updated. After which I ran ltsp-build-image, and this image does not have the 'jetpipe' file. I have also run 'apt-get update/upgrade' within the chroot image but the image only contains:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com//ubuntu hardy main restricted

by default. Thus, in the default case it is broken.

from the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UpdatingChroot page:

----
To upgrade your live chroot, we need to modify our existing /opt/ltsp/arch/etc/apt/sources.list file to include our hardy-updates repository as well, and then do an upgrade inside the chroot.

    * First, let's modify our LTSP chroot sources.list (assuming we're using i386-based chroot on an Ubuntu Hardy installation):

echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted" | sudo tee -a /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list
----

this paragraph is true for all installs pre 8.04.1 (which is the iso you currently get, i assume you used the 8.04 iso for your installation, which is the reason why we added that paragraph to the documentation)
