Krishna,

for via unichrome, you need:

   XSERVER = via


If you want to see the logfile, it exists in a ramdisk on the thin client. You can't see it from the server. You need to set:

    SCREEN_01 = shell

Then, when you boot the client, you'll get a shell prompt. at that point, type 'startx' and it will attempt to run the Xserver. When it fails, then you can go look at /tmp/mnt/X.log

Dear Petre, Sudev, Jim, et. al.:

Thanks again for all your help. I've now got it to at least read the
section of lts.conf that relates to the host now named ws079, but it gives
a fatal error when booting into X, with reference to a log I can't find
(/tmp/mnt/X.log or something like that - neither/var/log/, /tmp/, nor
/opt/ltsp/ contain anything related AFAIK.) I guess I really need to know
what video to specify for a VIA Unichrome device, if that's included in
the video section available, or load a new driver. I suppose I'll like the
non-slow non-VESA compatibility mode performance better than what I'm
getting now.

Put this in /etc/dhcpd.conf and then restart dhcpd:

host ws079 {
         hardware ethernet    00:16:ec:1d:6c:49;
        fixed-address           192.168.1.79;
}

There are other parameters that can be added, but this will get you started.

Dear Sudev:

Thanks!

I thought that it being identified by its NIC, and then as 192.168.1.79
would
be sufficient to make the numeric portion of [ws079] the link between
the two.
How does one enter the hostname in the dhcpd.conf?

Jim-

Thanks! I'll put some ***s before my responses, below.

Krishna an inline bottom posting would work much better ;-)


I'm guessing that the specific workstation doesn't know it's own
hostname.
Or,
it doesn't match what you've put in [xxxx] in the lts.conf file.
[SNIP]

In the section below of lts.conf you are giving a host name ws079


[ws079]
        XSERVER = savage
        X_MODE_0 = 800x600
        X_MODE_1 = 640x480
        X_MODE_2 = 1024x768
        SCREEN_02 = shell
[SNIP]

Here's the dhcpd.conf:
_______________________________________________________________________________
# dhcpd.conf

[SNIP]

        host test1 {
        hardware ethernet 00:16:ec:1d:6c:49;
                fixed-address 192.168.1.79;
                filename "/lts/2.6.16.1-ltsp-2/pxelinux.0";
                }
    if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {
        filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2";
}

But you are not defining the host name in dhcpd.conf above. You neet
to add a line  like within the curly brackets for each host:

option host-name "test1";

I hope this should solve the problem.
