Status in “ldm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid
Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Testing done on ltsp image built on Karmic from the newest packages available in the repos.

Server: Karmic amd64
Thin client: Karmic i386
Image built with command: ltsp-build-client --arch=i386

After building a fresh image with newest Karmic packages, the ltsp thin clients do not reboot properly, but throw nbd+squashfs related errors on the console. After the errors are shown, the thin client is frozen and it does not reboot automatically. Shutdown works properly with no error messages. The same error happens on every boot and this has happened on multiple thin clients.

Attached is logfile for the entire session when the thin client boots from network and reboot is selected from ldm menu. The logfile is captured from serial console.

The shutdown part gives out these messages:

init: cron main process (2247) killed by TERM signal
init: tty1 main process (3341) killed by TERM signal
init: Disconnected from system bus
