With the fixes for share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/60-edu-client in place, the amount of data downloaded for a thin client boot is down to around 140 MiB, which is still a bit high.
There are some other services we should consider to disable on thin clients: anacron cron I suspect these are still active to ensure sitesummary-client is reporting the client status regularly. Do we need both? bluetooth avahi-daemon minidlna No idea why these are active. Something to disable? Any of you know if any of these services are needed on thin clients? I suspect not. Perhaps some of them should be disabled in the ltsp-client-core package instead? Other candidates are pulseaudio and polkitd, but I suspect both are needed also no thin clients. After disabling cron, anacron, bluetooth, avahi-daemon and minidlna, the amount transfered to boot a thin client is down to 120 MiB received and 4 MiB sent, which is better but still quite a long way from what we had in 2007. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
