Hi,
We are entering "status red", and now I've found a severe problem here. Currently we're doing the first pracitical tests in our LTSP net (students' lab) with 24 clients. It is ltsp 3, Suse 9.1 and xdm and KDE.
Now it appears that from a certain load (about 50 % of the clients were running) some clients are kicked out when loading KDE or somewhat later, i.e. X rebooting and offering xdm again.
Strange though, the adjacent machine with exactly the same configuration (LAN card) has no problems at all.
Where should I start searching for the reason? Is it possible the network is too weak? I'm still using the old configuration that was used for the PCs as a printer and internet network: Every 2 or 4 machines on a 10 MBit hub (like a little island) which is connected to the switch, the switch putting them through to the server.
However, when there are 2 machines on the same hub with the same type of LAN card and one machine crashes and the other doesn't, the network cannot really be the problem...
Thanks for all comments and help again!
Rolf
