Hello all,
I am using LTSP with my ultralight laptop (no floppy drive, no cd drive)
as a client so I can use it as a totally silent X terminal to my main
development machine (added a client /dev/hda entry and a 'hdparm -y
/dev/hda' to client /etc/rc.local to spin down drive after boot). But I
can't figure out how to get login prompts on virtual terminals when it's
booted as a LTSP client in runlevel 5. Ie., I can Alt-F1 to see the
messages that my X server process wrote when starting up, the Alt-F2 pops
me back to X. I'm used to Alt-F2 through Alt-F6 being logins and F7
taking you back to X on a normal stand alone machine, and would like to
figure out how to get the laptop going that way so I can run apps on the
client box on those VTs.
I want to do this so I can run some apm related stuff to see how much
battery I have left, etc., since my Gnome desktop is running on the server
and can't show me the cute little battery applet ;)
I'm assuming that I have to get NIS setup, since there's no drive on with
a passwd file to check against. Does that sound right? What other steps
do people think I will need to take?
thanks,
-emile
PS. Thanks a ton to all the people that put LTSP together; install was a
breeze, and it was great to have such good documentation when setting up
my systems!
