Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Need help setting up ltsp server
Hi!
2007/6/8, eklektik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi,
I am new to this list and am trying to setup an ltsp server on ubutnu feisty
with one client and I am having problems. First of all, I have no experience
with setting up servers, I am just a regular linux user; but I read through all
the available ubuntu and edubuntu documentation regarding this subject. I
already posted help messages on the various forums and lists but found no help
so far. I hope some experienced user can help me out on this list. This is what
I have done so far following the instructions on the ubuntu setup page. I
installed the following software:
ok!
sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server
ok!
Try to install LTSP from the scratch in the next steps.
then built the client
sudo ltsp-build-client
Evrything went without a glitch.
Configure your net card with IP
168.192.0.254 (static) in /etc/network/interfaces or system > Admin > Network
(Gnome)
After I replaced the Ip addresses in the dhcpd.conf file to match
with the eth0 card Ip address.
This is the ip address:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ifconfig

and this is the modified dhcpd.conf file:
authoritative;
subnet 169.254.5.0 netmask
255.255.255.0 {
range 169.254.5.20

option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers
169.254.5.1;
option broadcast-address 169.254.5.255;
option routers
169.254.5.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
}
else{
filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
}
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
}
Next, I downloaded the boot image iso for cd.
Now, when I try to boot the thin client I get a message: "Searching for server
(DHCP), No IP address.
Look if the dhcp server is running with tail -f /var/log/messages and try to
restart the dhcp too, if fail, see too the syslog with tail -f /var/log/syslog
To restart - stop - start - status the thcp server: /etc/init.d/dhcp3 restart
Any idea what should I do now?
I hpe help
Thanks a lot.

Hi Alberto,
The new ip address you suggested solved the problem. Now, I can login.
However, another major problem developed. The thin client made my computer
extremely unstable. When I booted up the first time, it reported that one of
the applets on the panel should have deleted. I said ok, thinking that it
affect only the thinclient. However, it started deleting all the applets from
the server and without asking even deleted the top panel. I shut down the thin
client immediately. But the damage in my main computer is already done. It
freezes all the time. The applications hang and it just became so unstable that
probably, I will have to reinstall the entire system.
I dont know why this happened but I think that now I take a brake and maybe
some other time in the future I will try again. In the meantime, I thank for
the suggestions and for the help to everyone. I definitely learned from the
undertaking.
Regards,
Jmak
