[Ltsp-discuss] XServer Security Problem

[Ian Hadley]

Hi ltsp-discuss

 

I am having a problem with my pilot of LTSP (Version 3.0.4) running on Red Hat 7.2.

 

My server is running and appears to comply with the troubleshooting guides however I am still having a problem with connecting to either Gnome or KDE.  I have reinstalled using different X Servers etc to no avail.  (Server is P2-300 MMX with 256 MB RAM and 8 GB IDE disk, Intel EPro 10/100 network and Rage IIC display controller (Intel LX chipset on the motherboard).

 
I can boot a diskless PC and connect to the LTSP Server using the RUNLEVEL 3 option, BUT when I run /tmp/start_ws the Grey Screen appears with large X.  The X can be moved about with the mouse. (My diskless PC is AMD K6-2/450 with 256 MB RAM, 3Com 3C905TXM booting from floppy disk (i.e. not quite diskless) the display controller is a NVIDIA Vanta with 16 MB Ram).

 

Sometime later, two to three minutes or so I get the remains of the XFree86.0.log error messages which includes the following.

I saw that Stanley from Indonesia had a similar problem on the 24th June 2002.

 

Can anyone assist me with solving this problem??????

 

Many thanks in advance
