ltsp-discuss:
I have a fresh ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386 Linux Terminal Server (LTS)
installation and would like to change the IP address of the network
between the terminal server and thin clients from 192.168.0.0 to
192.168.1.0. (My LAN is already 192.168.0.0; the terminal server
upstream interface, eth0, is connected to this network.)
Going from memory: before I started fiddling with things, eth0 and eth1
both came up as 192.168.0.254, the server kinda sorta saw my LAN (could
ping hosts and gateway, but DNS, etc., wasn't working), and I could log
in from a client.
Then I changed the server's eth0 and eth1 addresses and DHCP daemon
settings:
20081102-193224 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces | egrep -v '#' | egrep .+
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
20081102-193251 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ cat /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf | egrep -v '#' | egrep .+
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.129 192.168.1.254;
option domain-name "holgerdanske.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
} else {
filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
}
}
Now when I boot the server, eth0 and eth1 seem to come up okay and I
have full upstream connectivity (ping, DNS, HTTP, etc.):

But from the client, Ubuntu boots via PXE, an "xdm: unable to create
authorities file" (?) message flashes by, I reach the Ubuntu login
screen (displaying a suitable IP address, such as 192.168.1.229), enter
my username, enter my password, it says "Verifying password. Please
wait.", it times out, it says "No response from server, restarting...",
then the screen goes black with only a mouse pointer. Testing with
another client yields the same results.
I suspect that there is some other setting I need to make, but I'm an
LTS rookie and don't know where to look.

Ctrl+Alt+F1 on the client when at the "Username" prompt shows:
Negotiation: ..size = 156428 KB
bs=1024, sz=156428
Kernel call returned: Broken pipe Reconnecting
Negotiation: ..size = 156428 KB
Error: Ioctl/1.1a failed: Bad file descriptor
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace on the client when at the "Username" prompt causes
the screen to go black momentarily and then display the same screen (X
stops and restarts?).
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David
p.s. One trouble-shooting idea would be to enable the root password on
the client, so I could Ctrl+Alt+Fn into the client and poke around. I
seem to recall reading somewhere about chroot'ing into the client image
on the server, running passwd, rebuilding the client ramdisk image,
etc., but I can't seem to find that page just now.
