[LTSP] failed to connect to nbd server

[yura.syrov]

At loading of the thin client there is an error:
"failed to connect to nbd server"
What can it be and how it to correct so not to break zentyal?

Just open the ports needed in the firewall, you will need to create a new service for that. You can check the ports with sudo netstat -putan.

Hi:

I have also come across this problem trying to run thin/fat clients. Im running Zentyal v. 3.

After several trials and errors trying to get the image to build, I was ready to test the setup, but no go. The clients just drop into a busybox session, and further investigating shows thats they never get to load "root".

I have been trying to get this to work by several means (nbd-server config, dpkg-reconfigure nbd-server, editing the inetd file...)

It seems thatafter installing and enabling the thin-client module and building the image, zentyal doesn't finish properly by setting up the nbd-server. The config seems to be there, but is not "active".

There already is a firewall rule enabled for this module (tcp port 10809), but running netstat shows no nbd-server instance or inetd instance for nbd-server.

My latest error message trying to enable nbd-server states that "bind: address is already in use" this even after a restart.

Can someone point in the right direction? or steps that will definetly rule out any miss-crossed-configs?

Thanks.
