Re: How to install new app on Client image without update

Hi Douglas,

this is very wrong and is not how LTSP works.
Your text.txt file should be there after you run ltsp-update-image.
You need to troubleshoot what went wrong.
Which distro/flavor/ltsp version are you using?
E.g. did you follow the official tutorial?
http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Installation/Ubuntu
Are you using any weird scripts for guest accounts etc?
