Hello,

Thanks to Oliver's suggestion, I can now login from the thin client using a tty. I've played around with it and it turns out that the client is mounting the file system as read-only:

$ cat > hello
-bash: hello: Read-only file system.


This would explain why I can't login from the GUI. When you login, X and Gnome will write a bunch of files to your home. And if it can't, you get kicked out. I've seen this before.

I've played around with /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/fstab on the server. But it looks like when the client boots, it is not reading this fstab file.

Can anyone think of a reason why the client would be mounting / as read-only? And how to make it not do that?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Daniel.
