On Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS I tried installing LTSP in "chroot" mode, following this guide.

The initial command

apt install --yes --install-recommends ltsp-server-standalone epoptes

Returned:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

 epoptes : Depends: faketime but it is not installable
           Depends: iperf but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

My question is: how do I correct these broken packages, and also if I succeed in installing this system will I be able to emulate VMs using the CT-3000 Huawei thin client, which does not have ubuntu mate installed on it. I am also looking for info on how to install mate.

  • Just tested your installation command on fresh Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS VM. It succeded. So you need to enable universe repository (many packages are stored here). – N0rbert Nov 22 '18 at 16:19
  • Thanks @N0rbert you are exactly correct, enabling the universe repository facilitated a succesful installation. "will I be able to emulate VMs using the CT-3000 Huawei thin client, which does not have ubuntu mate installed on it" This part of the question still stands , I will be posting my documentation on what happens here. thanks again – Zachary Fredell Nov 23 '18 at 15:07
