Re: [Ltsp-discuss] cannot open log file(repeat)

Gary,

I think you've got 2 different, unrelated problems:

1) The syslogd error is more of a warning.  You need to configure
   your syslogd to allow remote clients to send their log messages.
   There are various ways to do this, depending on your distro.
   It's a '-r' option to syslogd that allows remote logging.

   For redhat and mdk (and possibly others), edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog
   and add '-r' to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable.

   For Debian, you need to edit the /etc/init.d/sysklogd script, and
   find the SYSLOGD variable, and add -r.

   Then, restart syslogd.

2) The fatal server error is the Xserver dying.  Looks like it can't
   write to the /var directory, which is supposed to be a symlink to
   /tmp, which is a ramdisk.

   I've seen problems like this happen, when people remove the
   /opt/ltsp/i386/var symlink, because they think it is broken.

   If that's the case, then you need to re-create that symlink.
   Something like:

          cd /opt/ltsp/i386
          ln -s /tmp/var var

   If that's not the problem, then try setting 'SCREEN_01 = shell' in
   lts.conf file, and see if you get a shell when you reboot the client.

   From that shell, see if you have a /var directory, and see if it's
   symlink pointing into /tmp.

   Let us know what you find there.


That should get you moving towards a functional LTSP setup.
