Hello,
I seem to have made progress. I edited /etc/network/interfaces:
- auto lo
+ auto lo eth0 eth1
I don't really know what that's supposed to do, but now the DHCP server
starts. Indeed, when I boot the thin client, it successfully receives an
address from the DHCP server.
The client still doesn't boot up. The last message I see is:
Searching for server (DHCP)......
Me: 192.168.0.250, DHCP: 192.168.0.1, TFTP: 192.168.0.1, Gateway 192.168.0.1
Loading 192.168.0.1:/ltsp/pxelinux.0
And then it just hangs there.
I checked, and the server does /not/ have a file with the path
/ltsp/pxelinux.0 and indeed, 'locate pxelinux' does not return anything.
I have followed the instructions in:
http://www.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuTesting
And I've rebooted the computer since.
So I suspect that the thin client is not receiving a kernel from the
server. But it's hard to imagine that a kernel just isn't available.
Incidentally, I did restart portmap and nfs-kernel-server like the
instructions say, without error.
Again, any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel.

Hello,
I'm having problems configuring the DHCP server (it won't start - need
help with dhcpd.conf).
1) This is my current setup:
* eth0 points to the internet.
* eth1 points to the thin clients.
* I did 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server' and told it to serve DHCP
requests on eth1.
* I did copy /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to /etc/dhcp3
* I edited /etc/network/interfaces to contain:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
up flush-mail
2) This is the error:
When I type 'sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start' I get the message
"dhcpd3 failed to start" and the following error in syslog:
<quote>
No subnet declaration for eth1 (0.0.0.0).
** Ignoring requests on eth1. If this is not what
you want, please write a subnet declaration
in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
to which interface eth1 is attached. **
Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
</quote>
The contents of dhcpd.conf are unmodified from the default
/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf. That is:
<full-contents>
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
filename "/ltsp/pxelinux.0";
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
}
</full-contents>
I am now at a loss. I don't know what to do here. I was hoping that
someone here could guide me a little. Any help would be very much
appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel.
