kiosk with nfs requires strange input hello ltsp-lions
i'm working on a multi-screen installation - every screen is driven by a disk-less, interaction-less client. my system consists of Ubuntu 8.10 and LTSP 5 from the alternate cd. the client image is build with the 'standard' kiosk script. it took me some time, but with a few tweaks and tricks, i got the installation running: each client using a 'local' firefox + flash plugin, which automatically starts at the end of the loading process, expanding to full screen without disturbing questions. when i switch from NBD to NFS (following the "LTSPwithoutNFS" webpage). (this to be able to change parameters for the clients during runtime), the start-up of the client stops with a blank/sand-colored screen, (just before launching firefox?). when i plug in a mouse and move the cursor: the client continues and firefox runs fine after! plugging in a keyboard certain combinations have this same effect: e.g. "CTRL-F5", "CTRL-F9", "-",5 times a "j". a mix of 6 letters forces a new kiosk (auto)login in between. kind of funny, but i'm clueless and it renders ltsp as useless for my installation. if anybody has a suggestion i would be gratefull. rolf meesters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
