Configuring ltsp server on Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 in 10 steps, as I recall. I'm assuming you're using a fairly basic/default setup and your server has two NICs, as per the edubuntu documentation. If the architecture of the clients matches the architecture of the server than you can skip the '--arch=i386' options on the command line: 1. sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone tftpd-hpa openssh-server 2. While installing the dependency package dhcp3-server it should ask you what interface you want the dhcp daemon to listen on. Enter the name of your thin-client NIC here. If it doesn't ask you this then you may need to do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server. 3. sudo ltsp-build-client --arch=i386 #this takes a while. You can do the following steps in another terminal while you wait. 4. edit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa to include the line: RUN_DAEMON="yes" #basically you should just have to change "no" to "yes". 5. make sure your /etc/inetd.conf file has the line: 2000 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img #I believe it reads this way by default once you have the aforementioned packages installed. 6. Again, the lstp packages set this file up for you, but you may have to edit /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to make sure the IP numbers match your network. 7. sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart #should start automatically on a reboot, if not on install 8. sudo /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start #should start automatically on a reboot, if not on install 9. sudo inetd #should start automatically on a reboot if not on install 10. Wait for the client environment to finish building and you should be ready to boot your clients. Let us know if things don't unfold thus. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
