Sorry, you're completely wrong. :) That is how LTSP is supposed to work. The chrooted file system under /opt/ltsp... is what runs on the clients, but it's basically just enough to manage the display and peripherals and give a remote login to the server. By default everything the user experiences is running on the server, not on the client. > I had noticed before, that when I was logged in as one and the same user > on a thin client as well as on the server at the same time, I was for > instance unable to open Firefox on the client when I had it already > running on the server. Exactly. Both instances of firefox are running on the server under the same user and attempting to use the same profile information. It's possible to run some applications locally, or even to run everything locally, but then you're basically running fat, diskless clients which is not the default LTSP model. I don't know about the nbd0-error, though. -Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
