Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LDM2 update, thoughts about multiple login hosts.
Preliminary remark: We don't have ltsp installed, but another solution from a german company called Gonicus, which works fine already for 5 years. This setup is quite similiar to ltsp5, based on native Debian package management. To update our installation we intend to switch to ltsp5. But this doesn't touch our discussed problem.

My current understanding is that the basic load balancing is achieved by choosing the least loaded server to login. So this has to take place on the thin client before you get logged into one server. Or do I have the wrong picture? This is where I was thinking the master server would communicate with other servers in the pool via ssh in order to determine what to set as the default for clients or how to build the list of servers. As I understand in this type of load balanced setup there would be a single boot server which would be running the initial LDM to get a log in screen, but then upon server choice at login you would be directed to the chosen server, is that correct? If not could someone clarify the boot sequence in such a load balanced environment and where the choice for servers actually takes place? I don't know how LDM works. We use KDM, which gets the login screen already from one of the application servers. This means, when you login, the decision about choosing the least loaded server is already done by providing the login window from this server. The logic for choosing a server is on the client side. During the boot sequence, we have a script /etc/init.d/startx (which I can provide in case of interest), which gets a list of available application servers, in our case from LDAP. Each server from the list is xdmping'ed and the least loaded one chosen to get contacted via /usr/X11R6/bin/X -query least_loaded_server HTH Helmut -- - Helmut Lichtenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel. +49 (0)5034/871-128 Institut f�r Tierzucht 31535 Neustadt Germany - - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Ltsp-discuss] Debian Etch, LTSP 5 and USB issues
Hi all, I've problems with debian Etch, ltsp 5 and USB pens. I've successfully installed the whole system following this howto: http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto Ltspfs and fuse seem to work fine, in fact I can easily mount cdroms on clients. However, I've got problems using USB sticks: if I attach a usb pen on the server, I correctly see the pen's icon on all clients. But if I attach the pen on a client, nothing happens. So..Can somedoby please give me some advices? Thank you all! Menoz signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Actually, every time I do put in an lts.conf with 800x640 config at /opt/ltsp/i386/, the thin clients do not get a gui logon. It gets an xorg error. That is an unusual screen resolution. The standard would be 800x600 (not 640). It may be possible that your video card can't support the non-standard resolution. The other standard resolutions are 1280x1024, 1024x768, and 640x480. Color depth is important too. 32 and 24 bit are both considered truecolor, while 16 bits still allows 64K colors and 8 bits allows only 256 colors. Resolution time color depth will determine minimum required video memory; make sure your card can generate the selected resolution (as well as the monitor) and that there is sufficient memory to support the selected resolution and color depth.

That said, the display is also governed by the hardware. What is the memory available on the graphic cards on the clients. You need 1mb for 800x600 and 2mb for 1024x768.

[Ltsp-discuss] Problem with mouse....
Hi people, I'm having some problems with PS/2 mouses in my terminals, the problem is quite strange, the terminals boots perfectly and, I forgot, I'm using them for Windows terminal Server :-(, so the terminals boots perfectly and then the rdesktop enters normally, then the users start working but after some time the mouse just stop working even the led turns off... (optical mouse) then the user have to disconnect it from the PS/2 port and reconnect it, then the led turns on and the mouse work again, but some time later the problem occurs again Any ideas why it's happening I'm using the LTSP that comes with Ubuntu and it seems that it does not have the rdesktop script i had to grab the one from LTSP, made a selective ctrl+C ctrl+V to adapt it for ubuntu and use the rdesktop. If someone wants I can post it, but i beleave that is not the reason of the problem any ideas - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Local devs
Hi Jim, Suppose you're right, but I have to start all over then (everything else works very well). I was hoping I just missed a small configuration... Besides, I was really eager to know what I'm missing here. But it seems I'm loosing the small battle... Thanks anyway! I'll try the Edubuntu-version! Erwin. Jim Kronebusch wrote: = My system is Ubuntu 7.04 with the default ltsp 5.0 What I did: * ltspfs is installed * ltspfsd is running * in 'Account Properties' the users are being allowed to use fuse. * Fuse-utils and libfuse2 is installed and Fuse-module is actually loaded. * The users are actually in the fuse-group. * LOCAL_STORAGE = Y has no effect. * ps -ef | grep lbuscd gives no respons and thus there is no /tmp/drives folder on the client. * There is an entry on the client of /etc/fstab which says where to mount the cdrom (/var/run/drives/cdrom), but checking the location gives nothing. So how to make the local storage actually work? How to make lsbuscd actually working? Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend! Any reason you are building from scratch instead of using the pre-packaged Edubuntu? For what its worth my Edubuntu install has worked pretty much flawlessly out of the box, and local devices are working perfect. If you don't like the schoolish looking additions of Edubuntu it is my understanding that you could apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and apt-get remove edubuntu-desktop and essentially have exactly what you are trying to accomplish manually.

[Ltsp-discuss] Localdev woes on LTSP5 + LDAP
Hello all, I'm setting up LTSP5 on Feisty with LDAP authentication. It works quite well I think. Client can boot and logging on their LTSP pc. However, I cannot get Localdev to work. I follow the doc at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices and it turns out that ltspfs is not installed yet, so I install both on host and chroot env: fuse-utils_2.6.3-1ubuntu2_i386.deb libfuse2_2.6.3-1ubuntu2_i386.deb ltspfs_0.4.3-0ubuntu6_i386.deb And then open System Administration Users and Groups Type in the root password, the cursor rotates a bit, and nothing. Can LTSP5's localdev work with LDAP authentication?

No.. not the user logged in.
But, you are right about the lack of real benefit of
dhcp-dns-dynamic-update for LTSP client. But, since the LTSP network and
the rest of the network are in the same physical network, he still wants
the dhcp-dns-dynamic-update (for the rest of the network). For the rest of
the network, this feature is really needed (based on MS Domain Controller
feature). So, yes, I will still try to figure it out how to make
dhcp-dns-dynamic-update works for LSTP5.
Hello all,
I want to give an update. After googling numerous website with different
keywords (I really mean numerous, days of googling) I manage to get DNS
dynamically updated by DHCP on LTSP setup :)
Here's the confs:
The DNS and DHCP server reside on different server (not on LTSP server).
The important thing is the 'next-server' option in dhcpd.conf, it tells that
the DHCP server is not on the same box as tftp server:

ddns-update-style interim;
ddns-domainname jauh.com.;

if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = PXEClient {

}
else{
filename /ltsp/i386/nbi.img;
}
option root-path /opt/ltsp/i386;
}
zone jauh.com. {

key ddns_key;
}

}
Hope this helps other.
