I just played a dvd on my ltsp workstation using the Totem Movie Player and got a very choppy output. On the ltsp-server the dvd played normally. I am trying to figure out why this is the case.
My setup is; server: Mandrake 10.1 on a compaq deskpro pentium III, 500 Mhz, with 260 Mb of ram. The ethernet card is a 3-COM 3C905c-TXM, etherlink 10/100 PCI. I recently installed ltsp 4.1.1 from the ltsp-4.1.1-1.iso isoimage. The workstation is a compacq deskpro pentium I, 200 Mhz mmx, with 64 Mb ram. 3-COM 3c905-TX, 10/100 PCI. Using the “Monitor Connection” utility in the "Mandrake Control Center", I can see that the transmition speed on eth1, which connects to my internal network, is an average of 4.3 MB/s. This is much lower than the 100 MB/s I believe my NICs are capable of giving. Is there something I should be doing to get the connection between the server and workstation to run faster? Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
