Hi,
the information available in the first link is correct. Lnst should work
on any Linux distribution with python. The only difference is that we
don't directly test it on other distributions than fedora, but ubuntu
should be fine.
The information in the second link is refering to something else
entirely. The page focuses on creating a recipe step-by-step and in the
begining we describe requirements for the recipe we are creating. This
is contained within the recipe and it will only affect the process
determining which slave machines to use for the recipe.
I would gladly help you with making lnst work for you but I will first
need more information regarding how it failed. The best way to give me
that is to enable debug messages by using the -d parameter (this works
both for lnst-slave and lnst-ctl) and sending me the entire output.
Please add which sources are you using- the rpm or tar archive from
the site, or the current git version.
Finally it will also be useful to know what your testing setup is-
controller, slaves, the connection between the slaves, and to the
controller.
The most obvious problems that I can think of without additional
information is to check if you are using at least python 2.6, then maybe check
the filepaths that lnst-ctl tries to access.
Thank you for your interest and I hope I will be able to help.

Hi,
I have a question about lnst. The question is: can lnst be used on Linux
distributions other that Fedora 18?
Currently I set both controller and slaves on different ubuntu 12.04
virtual machines but they failed to work. I found on the
https://fedorahosted.org/lnst/wiki/Documentation/Install that "if you don't
use Fedora you will need to install LNST directly from the sources". So I
suppose it should work OK on Ubuntu too.
However, I also found that "I also found that "All the slave machines must
run Fedora 18 " from
https://fedorahosted.org/lnst/wiki/Documentation/Recipes.
Does that mean all the slaves should be on Fedora 18, but the controller
can be any Linux distribution?
Please let me know more about it! Thank you so much!

All the best!
