Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Getting Started
You make good points about distributing work among servers, although there are talking points on both sides of that issue. I haven't even looked at virtual servers yet. The starting point was replacing our SBS 2008. We had a decision to make. Microsoft has dropped the SBS product and its replacement, Server Essentials, does not do Exchange. This office is a pension management firm and putting anything in the cloud is not an option at present. Yet our users are VERY familiar with the Windows interface and rely on roaming logins, redirected folders etc. Our solution was to go with Samba4 AD/DC which provided all the functionality of SBS except for Exchange. To replace that we opted to use Sendmail/procmail/Dovecot/IMAP which has worked very well with only a few minor issues (e.g. Shared calendars are not writable by non-owners). To that end, I sought to move all SBS functionality to the Samba4 AD/DC. Since SBS required being the DHCP and DNS servers, I did the same for the Samba box; didn't really think about it otherwise. Not that much going on, really. The Samba server is 98%+ idle. It does have email and redirected folders, but shared files are kept on a different, NAS server, web hosting and internal pension applications on another, SQL Server on another, QuickBooks on another ... With Windows 10 now joining the fray to harvest as much data as possible off users' workstations, we need to look for a more secure alternative for staff workstations. Hence my investigation of LTSP and VNC. Fortunately, our managment has grown increasingly tired of Microsoft's abandonment of this market sector (we recently downgraded from Office 2013 to 2010 for this reason). Unfortunately for my objectives, Microsoft *does* priovide pretty nice user interfaces and features in its products. It'll be difficult to duplicate redirected folders on non-Microsoft clients. Tell me, were you able to run multiple monitors to one workstation with LTSP? --Mark -Original Message- > From: "Christopher Roberts" <c...@tridentgarages.co.uk> > To: <ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 12:04:59 +0100 > Organization: Trident Honda > X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 15.0 > > > Actually, my intention is to run LTSP *on* the Samba4 AD.

Chris - thanks for your followup - a couple of questions on your comments before I dive in head-first: > I note that you have DHCP running on the Samba4 AD server - that would need > to be moved over to your new LTSP server, or at least that would be the > simplest option. Actually, my intention is to run LTSP *on* the Samba4 AD. Why not? Given that, the same host would be running DHCP -- unless LTSP wants to take over DHCP? Is there a problem running LTSP on the same host that currently runs DHCP? > As I understand it, DHCP is not a core component of AD so > that shouldn't be an issue for you. Well, in fact, I think DHCP *is* needed and Samba4 wants to update DNS -- which needs DHCP.

All the Win7 workstations work just fine as domain members with roaming logins, redirected folders, remote desktop, group policies, etc. I'm wondering if you could tell me more specifically why LTSP and Open/Libre Office didn't work out for you with Samba4 AD? That's precicely the target platforms I'm looking at.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Getting Started
Well, I've partially answered my own questions ... I've downloaded the desktop and server ISOs at http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04 and they appear to boot right to Ubuntu and presumably have some scripts the install things, including LTSP. I saw no LTSP repositories on those CDs. So, this does not appear to be an option since I'm trying to use Slackware, not create a stand-alone Ubuntu server. I then went to https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwi-ltsp/wiki/Install%20on%20other%20distributions/ per Jigish Gohil's suggestion and examined the retrieved kiwi-ltsp.tar.xz. It has lots of files that install in /etc, /usr and /srv, but that's all I figure out. There is no README in the tarfile, or further instructions on the website. Lots of assumed knowledge with this and I've no idea what to do next. Next, per James McQuillan's, Jigish Gohil's and Vagrant Cascadian's suggestions I downloaded the "branches" from launchpad: $ bzr branch lp:ltsp/ldm-trunk $ bzr branch lp:ltsp/ltsp-trunk These look more promising and understandable. I'll see what I can do with these and post back. --Mark -Original Message----- From: Mark Foley <mfo...@ohprs.org> Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 22:16:07 -0400 Organization: Ohio Highway Patrol Retirement System To: ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net I'm going to try downloading and tweaking the Ubuntu LTSP and see if I can get that going per Christopher Roberts' "suggestion".

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Getting Started
I'm assuming that one of these trunk folders I've downloaded (ldm-trunk/, ltsp-trunk/) contains a bit of top-level documentation (haven't checked yet) about the theory of operation for LTSP and perhaps a bit about what I'm actually trying to build? I get the idea for the clients: they will boot from the server and have no local storage and will presumably have a X-desktop and presumably when the user logs on will get his/her own private directories on the LTSP server and optionally public directories, right? So, what does the server software do? Download the boot image? What else? How does LTSP differ from simply a user having a local workstation and whose local X-desktop connects to the office "server" and let's the user log into that "server"? I'm sure I've done this before, but not lately. Any feedback on concepts would be helpful. It seems like it's understood that the concepts are already known to the potential user. Yes, I've read http://www.ltsp.org/benefits/, but that too generic. If there's an appropriate doc in my trunk folder, just point me to it. Thanks, Mark -- _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Getting Started
Unfortunately, Ubuntu is not an option. We have Slackware 64 installed in the office and is the Active Directory/Domain Controller server for the domain using Samba4. It also does the DNS/DHCP and is the Windows "terminal server-ish" routing Remote Desktop Access request to the proper workstations. We are looking at getting rid of the Windows workstations and going Apple or Linux (the workstations could be Ubuntu), but we really cannot re-do the whole AD/DC thing. I do have a rudimentary Slackware howto on installing LTSP: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-installation-40/slackware-10-and-ltsp-234286/ but this is to build from sources and I don't know where to get those.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] from italy
Hi Mauro, I'm no expert, having just used LTSP for my own home and a small lab group, so perhaps people with far more experience will know better. I presume you are talking about using the old pc's as LTSP clients. In that case, they need no operating system installed on them. They just need a bios that allows that can net-boot from the ltsp server using pxe. The ltsp server can run ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP A 64mb ram system may be too old for anything, including being a thin client. Others may know better.

[Ltsp-discuss] sound being output to another client
Hello, I am new to this list. I have set up ltsp in my home and it is great. Occasionally I encounter some problems. One is that sometimes when I try to play a sound on one client it is played on another client. For example, at the moment I have 3 clients (A,B,C) and one ltsp server. I am working on client A right now and when using the console music player mocp the music is played on client C. On the other hand, if I play a video on the web from client A, the sound occurs, as expected, on client A. Also, the mocp player behavior has only started recently. I used to use mocp for months without problems, i.e. when on client A, the sound would occur on client A. It is only recently that is has decided to play on client C. Does anyone know why this might be happening and what to do about it? -m -- Learn Windows Azure Live!

[Ltsp-discuss] Sound setup in LTSP5.2
Hello, I just installed LTSP in a multi-use server to provide services to about 4-5 clients. It's a box stock install on a debian squeeze distro. I'm using NFS and LDM managers. I can boot and login just fine with all my users, but no sound on any clients. I have searched around for sound howto's, but those I've followed have just enabled me to play sound on the server, not on the clients. can anyone explain exactly how the sound system works, and/or provide a howto or troubleshooting to get it working? My sound on the server MUST remain functional due to having other uses for the server. LTSP is only one of many services it provides. My current lts.conf - [default] LTSP_CONFIG=True #SOUND=False #LOCALDEV=False #CONFIGURE_X=False LDM_DIRECTX=True SOUND_DAEMON=pulse SOUND=True I'm not sure what needs to be on the server. I'm assuming something does to pass the sounds over the network. I've seen several references to asoundconf and .asound.conf on the net, and those don't appear to exist on client or server.

yes, I created that file, and got a bit of sound out of the client, no
volume control, and the sound on the server
quit working. I deleted the file and got my server sound back.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP feasibility across remote connections

The reason I am wondering this is we have four remote sites. There are 2 close by and 2 farther away. All four are on our network via either a point to point T1 or netvpn DSL. The two remote sites use a T1 each to connect back to us. These 2 sites have 3 and 6 people at them. The one with 3 I am not too much worried about, but the other with 6 will be doing some CAD work and uploading photo's from digital cameras. The other two remote sites are local. However they only have a standard DSL connection rated at 1.5M down x 256k up I think. These two sites have about 5 users each. One of these sites has a person dedicated to scanning photos and move them to their in-house server for archiving. With this in mind, how likely does it sound that we could provide these remote users with thin clients and have them connect back to our main server farm? Has anyone setup a similar deal?

[Ltsp-discuss] 4.2 vs 5 with Neoware clients

I have 3 Neoware clients, two are Geode based, like 128MB ram, but could be expanded, one is like 800Mhz Via something based.

I have tons of horsepower on the server. No worries there. Should I be trying to hack ltsp5 onto Arch, or just run 4.2 because my clients are a little older?

On a booted thick XP / Ubuntu, just unplug and replug the cable. If you don't get an IP back in 10 seconds, something's wrong. This is the part which I didn't know yet, though. 4) Do you know how to tcpdump? Could you try looking for DNS lookups on the server side and post if anything looks funny? Run the ff command on the server while the clients are booting up: sudo tcpdump -ni eth0 'udp port 53' If you're seeing reverse DNS lookups there that shouldn't belong, try killing DNS lookups at the ssh server.

It's apparently intermittent, and I think it is highly related to either a huge system slowdown or dns. I don't know why it would be related to DNS after all. Previously I configured my DNS under bind. However, I noticed that after booting 4 or 5 thin clients, bind9 would magically stop replying to queries. At this point, sudo would become very slow and few of my clients would be able to boot or even get IP addresses from the server. Neither dhcp3-server nor sudo should be making DNS lookups. My hosts file looks like so: === 127.0.0.1localhost 127.0.1.1mars.schoolsite.localmars 192.168.1.8mars.schoolsite.localmars 192.168.11.254mars.schoolsite.localmars # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts === Nevertheless, when my bind9 server dies, my hosts are unable to get ips from the dhcp3-server, and sudo take forever. What the human is going on, I wonder. Thinking it was a problem with bind9, I replaced it with pdns. PDNS has a bind backend, which basically just reads your bind zones and makes it easy to transfer. But no joy. After 4 or 5 boots, dhcp3 server goes to hell and stops responding. I tried all sorts of network dumping and monitoring. After a while I noticed that there were reverse IP queries somewhere, and not bothering to find out why, I gave the entire subnet reverse entries in my PDNS. Amazingly, I was able to boot the whole lab. In under 10 minutes. It brought tears to my eyes. However the problem came back, and checking my logs: Nov 17 16:53:40 mars pdns[2981]: Scheduling exit on remote request And I was like, what the hell. I'm not 100% sure, but it would seem like my bot-infested waters (worms everywhere in the network, it wasn't maintained well) are trying to remotely my bind or something like that, and maybe all sorts of poisoning tricks. Since my pdns server shared my bind rndc key, if the key was weak, then it's conceivable that bots are shutting it down. Anyways, it would seem that I have two problems that ask for a solution: 1) Are my local services performing DNS lookups? Why? How do I get them to stop doing that? 2) Is my pdns / bind / whatever dns under attack by bots using rndc? How do I stop them? - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/_ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Server's root file system accessed by LTSP clients instead of chrooted file system (LTSP5 on Ubuntu8.10)
Heya, The chrooted filesystem is a minimal Linux installation that is used to make an X connection to the server. It is _not_ the filesystem and OS the client sees, but a behind the scenes mini-OS that just connects to the server so it can pass input/output from the user. If yuo want to access the client root filesystem, you have to do a terminal switch to terminal 1 (ctrl alt f1) and login to the client as root. This will only work if you set a new root passwd in the chroot and re-export your ltsp image. Otherwise, all commands and files you are accessing on terminal 7 (the default graphical login) are relative to the server. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/_ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

[Ltsp-discuss] [ltsp-discuss] Network clients stop responding for a while after 4 or 5 units boot up.
, switch to powerdns, and made the symptom disappear. bind9 was one of the programs being controlled by apparmor. I don't know how to use apparmor, but I've encounterred selinux woes before - and nearly every docu of every server Ive read goes the lazy way and says if selinux causes problems just disable it, rather than telling you how to configure selinux to get the software to work. I assumed the same holds true for apparmor, so I disabled apparmor. My problem with bind9 didn't go away - it still refuses to respond to requests after I boot a few thin clients. I am assuming something about my thin client stuff causes it to hang. I mean bind9 itself hangs, not my network. I am running dig from mars itself, and it is talking to the loopback interface, but it is not responding even to itself. However it does respond _before_ I boot up a few units, so it isn't a firewal issue. Speaking of firewalls, I installed shorewall on the server. It NATs the lab network (192.168.11.0/24) to the school network (192.168.1.0/24), and I set only weak default policies on shorewall. powerdns (pdns) does not hang in the same way that bind does. 4) disk performance I mentioned before that the following things hang a) dhcp requests dont get in b) bind9 doesnt answer stuff c) sudo commands take a very long time d) clients dont boot for a long time I noticed that sometimes, when (c) resolves, it resolves at coincidentally the same time that (b) bind starts answering again, that (a) clients start getting IPs again, and that clients continue booting. I also noticed that sometimes, the network graph from gnome's system monitor applet very closely follows the hard disk usage graph. I forget how to monitor hard disk usage by hand, though. I also remember that my system logs appear to be delayed: I appear to be getting CPU messages from a thin client even after I reset the unit. The three symptoms above lead me to think there is a hard disk caching problem: I suspect that the system is waiting for such and such process to finish before updating stuff on disk. Because there are numerous writes to disk, when the kernel starts waiting on input/output, random processes that wait for writes to finish, such as bind9, sudo logs, etc, all hang or wait up. (the first note was also the reason why I thought that I _had_ to fix bind. Interestingly, after I replaced bind with pdns, I was unable to observe my sudo problem any more). This hard disk caching issue can be caused by a few things: a) a bad RAID setup b) nbd magic stuffs c) some unoptimized kernel scheduler option d) something I don't know e) maybe it isn't some hard disk caching issue after all a) bad RAID setup my understanding of RAID1 is that you get slightly worse write performance (which is fine by me) but nearly n-tupled read performance where n is the number of disks. I have 2 disks. I don't see how it could be causing me any troubles, however, when I saw that syslog writes were being delayed I worried a bit. I think it's pretty sane thing to think it would help, but I don't know if it could be causing me write problems. Tomorrow, when I get back to my lab, I'll make sure that the hard disks are on different channels, although I'm sure I already told me assistant to put them on different channels, and I'm not sure if my hard disks are even fast enough to hit half the channel capacity (havent checked the disk speeds, or the channel capacity). Is channel capacity an issue? I can determine if RAID is causing an issue by going into degraded mode. I'll mark all of one disk's partitions as faulty and remove them. I already did that for the root partition, but I didn't degrate my home partition just yet. So far, no noticeable change after degrading my disk. b) nbd magic stuffs nbd, to me, is magic. I don't know what to look for or how to minimize its impact, or if it's even causing a noticeable impact. I just know that sometimes, my network usage closely traces my hard disk usage. Sometimes it doesn't. c) kernel scheduler something I'm not sure what to look up, but I read before there was some kernel magic you could do that has to do with how it schedules disk writes. I'm not sure what the best choice for such an option would be, but I think that my current setting - where some services become completely unresponsive - is probably not the right one. I'd have thought, though, that the default kernel from Ubuntu's LTSP install mode would use the right one. d) something else help on this? e) it's not a disk caching issue at all help on that? === So anyways, time for a RESUMMARY: Am encountering network problems in my lab - which manifest as clients being unable to acquire network addresses - when starting up more than 4 thin clients, I am unable to determine the cause. my leads so far: 0 - My server can't really handle it If so, I'd like to find out what resource, specifically, is causing the issue, so that I know what to buy (and yeah I'd like to get these guys to buy _at least
[Ltsp-discuss] Mutimedia Performance
Hey All, I've read through most of the documentation but the only thing I find that might be relative to my question is the section on running local apps on the client. It says the reason for doing this is, In large networks with memory intensive applications, such as Netscape, running the app on the workstation can provide better performance, as long as the workstation is powerful enough to handle it. What I have in mind is to build a cluster, see Limulus Project http://limulus.basement-supercomputing.com/, and installing LTSP on the cluster. I want to run all my apps on the cluster. This machine should have no issues with running concurrent applications. I'm concerned about the Multimedia application performance. Is X able to provide performance on the terminal equivalent to running the app locally on a dedicated PC? My wife does not want to, and shouldn't have to, put up with crappy performance when she wants to run her web cam or a Windows session on Win4Lin. Youtube and other graphical applications should run smoothly. And what about games requiring accelerated graphics like Tux Racer? What happens when you try that on? I've read about loading an accelerated graphics driver when the terminal boots up. Is that just for running accelerated apps locally or is that applicable to served applications as well? I'm an Engineering Designer interested in running some high powered engineering design tools, such as 3D modeling, on the server. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Booting client with PCMCIA card using wireless_ltsp-3.0.5 package
Message: 3 Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 11:13:49 -0500 From: Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Booting client with PCMCIA card using wireless_ltsp-3.0.5 package To: ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Mark, LTSP-4.2 definately won't work with the older kernel from LTSP-3 There's lots of changes in 4.2, including the requirement of a 2.6.x series kernel, to handle udev. I'd love to have a wireless-ready kernel for 4.2, but the kernels are so big now, they will no longer fit on a floppy. Newer machines can boot from usb sticks, but there's still an awful lot of older laptops that won't boot from usb. On top of that, almost all of the newer wireless cards need firmware that we aren't allowed to re-distribute. This makes things difficult, and there really isn't all that much interest in wireless ltsp. Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can now see that I phrased my question poorly. It is important to note that I am not using a wireless NIC. I am using a regular 3Com 3c574 wired PCMCIA NIC. I am using the floppy.img image from the wireless-ltsp-3.0.5 package because it has the drivers built-in to boot the PCMCIA card which apparently etherboot does not support. I learned this trick a while ago from Phil Driscoll's post here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ltsp-discussm=108789847231845w=2 As I understand it, it appears that when the client boots it gets a DHCP address then hangs when it asks for runlevel: If I enter a runlevel the client then stops responding completely and requires a hard reboot. I hope this explains my problem better. Sorry about not clearly identifying my problem in my first post. Thanks Mark Mark McSweeney wrote: I apologize if this subject has been covered before but I could not find it in a search of the archives.

I have previously installed LTSP 4.1 from ISO's and now have downloaded the latest 4.2 ltsp-utils package, and it tries to download/update the files from the same location I installed from last time ( i.e the CD-ROM drive). To correct this I need the URL for the RPM repository, but I would much prefer A) Download the all RPM's together so I can install them on my servers off-line.B) or download ISO images for LTSP 4.2This information is NOT on the download page but the packages must be on the intenet somewhere. I have multiple servers and next to no internet connections (joys of living in Indonesia) please all I want is a link to download ALL the packages for LTSP 4.2 in one go, even Sourceforge hasn't got past 4.1.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] /etc/dhcpd.conf - 'address range .. not on net'
Hi,
try changing:
subnet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
to:
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
Since 192.168.0.2 is not a valid start for a /28 network. Also, you
seem to have all the closing } commented out - is that right? You might
want to put it back in:
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
range 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.10;
# option broadcast-address 204.254.239.31;

}

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP for SuSe Linux Enterprise server 8
What are the benefits for running LTSP against dedicated X terminals. Most people would say cost, but wyse produce the Winterm 5125se @ £250 which boots from embedded linux and can connect to a running X server on the SLES 8 server using XDMCP, therefore using native software with no additional 3rd party bits required. Surely using XDMCP which is what X was designed around is better than any 3rd party stuff, sorry no offence to LTSP.

The clients booting from our server are booting up to the point of loading the X windows system.

The trouble seems to be the location of the XF86Config.NIC file, which the client cannot find as indictated by the error message in the bootlog.

[Ltsp-discuss] Menu Text
I have a K12LTSP version 4 server and client running except that all the menus and login screens are missing their text labels. It's just icons. Everything seems to function; it's just impossible to navigate. Please help with any suggestions. Following is a description of the problem: I had a working ltsp verion 3 system and just rebuilt it from scratch with version 4.0.0 CDs. All seemed to be working OK until I used yum to update all installed packages to the latest Fedora Core 1 RPMs. Many of these, I now notice, were XFree86 named. So now when starting either gdm, kdm, or xdm the client stations are not displaying fonts, i.e. the letters describing or attached to any and all icons/menus. All is just icons unless I start a terminal session, which looks normal. Details of each display manager: = GDM GDM GDM GDM GDM GDM GDM gdm Server: Only one login prompt line is presented in the center of a two tone light blue screen with a large yellow flower in the low right hand side of the screen. No fonts are displayed (i.e. there is nothing to read) and no echo occurs at attempted logins. gdm Client: presents a one line login screen with a GNOME graphic. No fonts are displayed and no echo of characters occurs during login. One can log in however if one is careful with entering a correct name, carriage return, password, and second carriage return. One is then presented with a normal looking Fedora GUI but with NO FONTS of any kind. = KDM KDM KDM KDM KDM KDM KDM kde server: gui login screen appears as the 4.0.0 normal Welcome to Linux at k12ltsp screen with the redhat circle of kids and Login, Password, Session Type, G, Clear, Menu, and Shutdown all available and displayed clearly. kde client: the gray screen with a one central X displays for 5 seconds or so then the normal looking Welcome to Linux at k12ltsp login screen. Alas, after logging in the GUI has NO FONTS as described above under gdm with a terminal window again functioning normally. === XDM XDM XDM XDM XDM XDM = xdm server: a login screen is presented with the message Welcome to k12ltsp.sbsdk12.org along with an XFree 86 Logo and a Login and Password prompt. Typing letters are reflected back at login after which a normal KDE desktop is presented with all fonts/letters/descriptions as normal. xdm: client: the gray screen with a one central X displays for about 8 seconds then the same XFree 86 logo as the xdm server displays with the typed login reflected to the user. Alas, when the KDE desktop appears there are, again, NO FONTS at all. Thanks in advance for your help! Mark Stucky --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Here are two docs that describe how you can do this... http://www.etherboot.org/doc/html/userman/x126.html http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/5299/2001/7/100/6129709/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Lange Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 12:54 PM To: ltsp Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP server with dhcp from a Linksys box I'm trying to setup a LTSP demo environment and I have a question about dhcp. I want this demo environment to run on an existing network which already includes a dhcp sever in the form of one of those Linksys boxes. Is it possible to have a different server supply the dhcp IP addresses (namely the Linksys box)? Looking at the LTSP docs it appears that some additional options are required in the dhcp.conf such as option root-path 192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386; There does not appear to be any way to add these additional options to the Linksys box so I assume this precludes me from using it with LTSP? Therefore, the second part of my question is, is it possible to run two DHCP servers on the same network without them trampling each other? Any suggestions here are greatly appreciated.

[Ltsp-discuss] Text Missing
had a working ltsp verion 3 system and just rebuilt it from scratch with version 4.0.0 CDs. All seemed to be working OK until I used yum to update all installed packages to the latest Fedora Core 1 RPMs. Many of these, I now notice, were XFree86 named. So now when starting either gdm, kdm, or xdm the client stations are not displaying fonts, i.e. the letters describing or attached to any and all icons/menus. All is just icons unless I start a terminal session, which looks normal. Details of each display manager: = GDM GDM GDM GDM GDM GDM GDM gdm Server: Only one login prompt line is presented in the center of a two tone light blue screen with a large yellow flower in the low right hand side of the screen. No fonts are displayed (i.e. there is nothing to read) and no echo occurs at attempted logins. gdm Client: presents a one line login screen with a GNOME graphic. No fonts are displayed and no echo of characters occurs during login. One can log in however if one is careful with entering a correct name, carriage return, password, and second carriage return. One is then presented with a normal looking Fedora GUI but with NO FONTS of any kind. = KDM KDM KDM KDM KDM KDM KDM kde server: gui login screen appears as the 4.0.0 normal Welcome to Linux at k12ltsp screen with the redhat circle of kids and Login, Password, Session Type, G, Clear, Menu, and Shutdown all available and displayed clearly. kde client: the gray screen with a one central X displays for 5 seconds or so then the normal looking Welcome to Linux at k12ltsp login screen. Alas, after logging in the GUI has NO FONTS as described above under gdm with a terminal window again functioning normally. === XDM XDM XDM XDM XDM XDM = xdm server: a login screen is presented with the message Welcome to k12ltsp.sbsdk12.org along with an XFree 86 Logo and a Login and Password prompt. Typing letters are reflected back at login after which a normal KDE desktop is presented with all fonts/letters/descriptions as normal. xdm: client: the gray screen with a one central X displays for about 8 seconds then the same XFree 86 logo as the xdm server displays with the typed login reflected to the user. Alas, when the KDE desktop appears there are, again, NO FONTS at all. End of symptom descriptions = I would like to have the nice Welcome to Linux at k12ltsp screen with the redhat circle of kids at login with the followon desktop having fonts (i.e. letters) as one would expect. It would also be nice to not have the 5-8 second gray screen with central X delay in getting to the GUI login. Thank for any suggestions or help offered.

[Ltsp-discuss] Do I want/need LTSP?
I've been looking through documentation and parsing through the list, but can't seem to find the information to help me determine if I need (or even *want*) LTSP. Here's my situation: I am fairly comfortable with Unix/Linux system administration. My company is moving away from a MS Windows Terminal Services machine, and implementing a SuSE Linux 9 machine as a terminal server. We will never be at the console, and seldom on the same network. The machine is Internet-connected, and will need to support us wherever we are. All of us are road warriors (field consultants) who need access to a few common programs like our mail system and our call tracking software. All of us will have a Windows laptop, but the push will be on to convert to at least a dual-boot with Linux. There will be no thin client computing against this server. There are less than ten people who will use the server, never more than about three concurrently. I have been planning on using VNC over SSH (multiple instances of XFree spawned at connection time, using the -inetd paramater for Xvnc) to connect to the server for a GUI login. Do I need LTSP for this? Do I want LTSP for this? Why? Why not? Thanks in advance... -Mark --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Ltsp-discuss] client with two nics
Hi I have a problem with a thin client with 2 nics. The client boots from the floppy, finds the server, gets the kernel, all using the correct NIC - eth1. However then the linuxrc script detects the wrong NIC - eth0 - and tries to do the rest using that. However, that is not plugged in. I should mention that eth1 is a prism2 wireless card, eth0 is an onboard e100, so its not just a case of plugging in the right card or removing the wrong card. So how do I get the client to boot using the right NIC? Or stop the scripts detecting the wrong NIC? thanks Mark --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

[Ltsp-discuss] 192.168.0.254????
I'm setting up LTSP at my elementary school for 50 New Internet Computers (thin clients) using a P4 Server with 1GB RAM with an Intel board and two NICS. The server with Redhat 9.1 and LTSP loads fine. I need help getting the clients to boot. I'm a very new user with Linux and LTSP. I need simple instructions, please. Here's the problem as I see it unfold. The client starts, finds the DHCP server, and goes into the TFTP. The lines of text whiz by no problem for a while. The client receives an IP, mounts the root filesystem at 10.21.121.1 (our server's address) and mounts /opt/ltsp/i386. It started device management daemon for /dev, mounts /proc filesystem, creates ramdisk on /tmp and then lists the client host name NIC.7643. And there it sits! It sits there a long time and then spits out mount: RPC: timed out and NFS mount failed: bad file descriptor. NFS mount program didn't pass remote address. It next shows that it is not mounting 10.21.121.1 as expected but mounting 192.168.0.254:/usr/x11R6/lib/x11/fonts. Please help! What file do I need to find? What needs to be changed? I've done a search for the string 192.168.0.254 thinking I might find it that way, but no file was found other than the error message text that I typed in one day. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Ltsp-discuss] Computer Specs
Hello everyone, I'm trying to work out a good generic server setup that I can deploy at multiple locations. I need a bit of help if you can on what sort of power is needed for x number of clients, and which hardware is good to get and good to avoid. The server will be running, eventually, kde 3.2 (when it's out, 3.1.x in the meantime), openoffice, browser, email, and also other services like file sharing, print server, intranet website probably with some groupware software. To ensure the smoothest operating speed, how much memory and what processor speed would you guys recommend. Number of client machines could vary between 10-100 or more. Some questions about the hardware: * Are dual processors worth it? what sort of benefits will I see from that? * Which processors are good - Intel or AMD? Which speeds are the best? * Is disk activity typically heavy? Worth using Serial ATA * Is a 100mbit NIC in the server adequate? I'm thinking 1gigabit NIC for the server and 100mbit in the client machines. * Will RAID help me out much? * What bus speed is good? any particular memory brands you'd recomment? Stability is a primary attribute of course - any particular brands for memory, motherboard, hard disk, processor, you'd advise for/against for a thin client server. Hardware for a server's pretty cheap at the moment, to get a fairly fast system, especially for businesses. So I'm interested in hardware that is great to have - not just the bare minimum to get it working. Of course, I don't want to go overboard, but hardware that will scale for the next two-three years would be good. And to add to the list, do you guys know any good articles on line of test cases for hardware vs performance for numbers of client machines, etc?

Don't forget to change the permissions of the .htpasswd file to whatever the server likes, in my case, I changed the ownership from root to apache: chown apache.apache .htpasswd Hope this helps!

Re: Re[2]: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP and DireqCafe
Thanks, Anselm - I did look at /etc/passwd. I don't think that these users came from the system. I think that direqcafe put them in to it's database as I was screwing around with it before I got it working right. It would appear that there is no way to delete them from the web interface. Where is the database file, and in what format? This software looks like a great start, but why in the word did he write it in pascal? Guess that there's one more language I have to learn now!

I'm having the same problem - but when I move the the direqcafe folder to /var/www/cgi-bin (where my other stuff does run), index.cgi runs, but none of the graphics come in.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Dealing with the Mozilla Lockfile in a kiosk setup
Andy - Take a look at: http://k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/GDM%20auto-login%20with%20specific%20users%20to%20specific%20terminals. I was facing the same problem you are - trying to get Mozilla (well, I'm using Firebird, but it's the same issue) to use the same profile on every client. The work around described here, which actually originated on the LSTP mailing list, fixed the problem perfectly. Consider using Firebird instead of Mozilla. It's easier to lock down. Mark Ehle At 12:04 PM 7/21/2003 -0500, you wrote: I recently found a Compaq XP1000 Professional Workstation (It's a 500mhz Alpha Processor, with 1gb ram) collecting dust on the retired hardware shelf. As I have 20 Linux machines deployed, I figured the Alpha would make an ideal management station. It took a bit longer than I expected, Alphas are...different, but Debian 3.0 is up and running on the thing. The 20 Linux machines that I do have right now run a rather locked down enviorment. GDM performs an autologon to a locla user accound and runs the .xsession. Mozilla comes up full screen and that's all that can be accessed. If Mozilla exits, the X server resets and the process repeats. To make a long story short, I'm out of hardware and I still have two or three Win95 machines to replace. Now that I have the Alpha machine I figured that I could get use the P90s that are running Win95 right now as Linux Thin clients. The trick is I would want thin client machines to be as close to the other 20 linux machines as possible. GDM autologon, mozilla full screen, etc. The problem I see is the mozilla lock file. As the thin clients would be sharing the same home directory, the first mozilla would fire up no problem but the others would not. Has anyone addressed a similar problem before? Can ~/.mozilla be set to read only, or is there a way to map each thin client to a different NFS mount? Or maybe something else? Looking forward to your input. Andrew S.

I finally solved this problem for myself. First off it was suggested I was trying to use the kernel with an unsupported architecture. This was not the case, but it may be for you? For me it was because I was using 5.1.3 or 5.1.5 versions of the bootdisk from www.rom-o-matic.com - try using 5.0.8 if you are not already.

However, now the terminal boots from the NIC and appears that DHCP is working, because it gives an IP address, but then it loads a series of dots as if it is connecting and reboots again immediately. This continues over and over until I manually shut down the terminal. Any ideas? I'm certainly out of them. Thanks. This happened to me too yesterday. My daughter just got a new computer (Windows), and I tried to make a boot floppy for it (found out that it had some kind of Intel card, but couldn't figure exactly which image to download from rom-o-matic, so I downloaded all five canditates and tried them one by one.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] unsubsribe
I solved the problem, which I'm hoping will get put in the troubleshooting section. I was using a 5.1.3 or 5.1.5 boot rom for a floppy, when I tried 5.0.8 it worked perfect! So I'm not sure if it's related to the note on www.rom-o-matic.net or not.

However, that doesn't seem to make sense because from after kernel download it's all client side. Anyway, is there any way for me to log what the workstation is doing so I can see where it fails?

[Ltsp-discuss] Rebooting clients
I tried on two machines... When it loads the kernel over tftp immediately after the download finishes the pc reboots. Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm running on Gentoo with gcc 3.2 (or 3.2.1 can't remember) and xfree86 4.2.99. I have had it working previously under gentoo, but never tried with 4.2.99 - but this is a different machine this time. I'm using hpa-tftp if that makes any difference. I'd love any suggestions on what's going wrong here. Thanks.

[Ltsp-discuss] Searching for server (DHCP)
When trying to boot from a ROM-image floppy, I get as far as Searching for server (DHCP) and then dots start printing below very slowly. I've successfully used a dhcp client to get an ip address for this workstation, so I know the network card, switch, cables are all good. I would assume the dhcp server setup is fine. I'm watching the eth0 port on the server, and i don't see any packets coming from the workstation when i use the rom disk. i've tried a couple different disks for the netgear fa310tx card: the tulip one and the 82c168 one. neither have worked. i've checked the /var/log/messages file and i don't see anything logged when the client work station starts up. any ideas on what could be wrong? or how to debug it further? thanks for you help!

[Ltsp-discuss] Fanless smps and cases
Hi Would a few people mind publishing any price info they have (or know of) for the Jammin 125 and its ilk in different countries? Sensible hardware is so scarce that in desperation we've started building our own based around the Via ITX. We've completed two versions of a small120/230v, 20 watt fanless smps,both about 1" x 2" x 4", but different for the C3 and the Eden. We've also built some sample cases roughly 7" high by 9" deep by 2" wide, which was more difficult than we ever imagined. Several complete units are currently running under test, and we're planning a small production run for ourselves quite soon. If anyone is interested in our efforts,as parts or ascomplete workstations,we could put up some photos and a specsheet on a site somewhere. Come to think of it, interested people could email me with, say, "ltsp-box" in the subject line. Mark Lochore
[Ltsp-discuss] First LTSP install almost complete, please help.
I'm at a point where, with the help of a friend, I think I'm almost there.
What I have is a client screen with a black X in the center of the screen
and a gray background. According to the following document:
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/mandrake_ltsp.html
If X starts up but the cursor just sits in the middle of the screen (you
don't get a login screen), then you almost certainly are not running
xdm/kdm/gdm on your server. As root, run one of the three (I like kdm
myself) but typing 'kdm' and pressing enter -OR- just switch to runlevel 5
by typing 'init 5' as root. Runlevel 5 is the graphical login mode. Reboot
the workstation and it should get to the login prompt this time.
I tried #kde and I was back to the cursor. I reboot the client box but no
change.
I tried #init 5 and the following was displayed:
Assigning raw devices:Cannot locate block device '/dev/dvd' (No such file
or directory)[FAILED]
Side note:
In reference to the above [FAILED] message, when I first boot the server
today I had removed my CD burner so I connected the DVD drive instead.
I have copied 2 files referred to in the mandrake how-to,
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
and
/etc/dhcpd.config.sample
lts.conf follows:
[Default]
SERVER=192.168.0.1
XSERVER =auto
X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL=PS/2
X_MOUSE_DEVICE =/dev/psaux
X_MOUSE_RESOLUTION=400
X_MOUSE_BUTTONS =3
USE_XFS=N
LOCAL_APPS=N
RUNLEVEL=5
#Comments about lts.conf:
#the client box is using a video card with a S3 chipset {S3 Trio64v+}
#the client box is using a MS serial mouse, the server is using the mouse
with the PS/2 connector.
dhcpd.config.sample follows:
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{
#default gateway
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name domain.org;
option domain-name-servers ns.domain.org;
option nis-domain domain.org;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.254;
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
host ns{
hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
}
}
#Comments about dhcpd.config.sample
#When I boot the client it states:
#Digital Tulip+: 00:CO:FO:21:12:70 at ioaddr 6100This is not the same
as above, yet it seems to connect anyway.?
#Me 192.168.0.254
#Server 192.168.0.1
Any suggestions are appreciated. There will be other clients identical to
the one being used, each with their own MAC, I know not where to indicate in
the configuration files.
Thanks.

[Ltsp-discuss] Configuration contradictions in Mandrake/ltsp how-to
The attached files are those needed to be changed. The first, /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf required a change of a line that starts with 'SERVER=' to the IP address of the server box, then to comment out [ws001]. These things have been done. The second, /etc/dhcpd.conf.example hopefully has been misspelled. The only file I found was dhcpd.conf.sample. I added the line ddns-update-style none; just above the line default-lease-time. After that, change every instance of the default ip 192.168.0.254 to your server ip. Next remove the /tftpboot/ from the line that looks like this: /tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp; The reason I'm posting this is the dissimilarity between the described and actual files. Next, in that same file the name should be /lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-1; I don't see anything like it there. It's amazing. All the many people who've worked so many hours getting this stuff to work and at the very last step, the documentation to use it is unusable, rendering the whole project, atleast to me, unusable. Sorry, but this is the last few steps of a project I began months ago and now I've got to bug someone to finish it for me. lts.conf Description: Binary data dhcpd.conf.sample Description: Binary data
