Hello. 1°) Brand new fresh install of Lucid Lynx (Desktop) + LTSP 5.2 + all Lucid updates. Usual install procedure: - Run ltsp-build-client - Chroot to /opt/ltsp/i386 to set root passwd - exit chrooted env - ltsp-update-image - Setup /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf - NO lts.conf
Boot thin client: I tried 1 EeeBox and 1 IBM ThinkCentre. LDM shows up normally. Enter login+passwd. Accepted. Then I get a full Lucid Gnome desktop... but completely inverted (bottom-up and right-left)!!! I spent a couple of minutes wondering about the LTSP team sense of humor, but I decided they're were not this naughty :) Finally I found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/441586 Looks like proprietary Nvidia drivers on the server are messing with libGL and generate havoc in thin client X config (even with Non Nvidia GPU). Solutions (as stated in bug report): - disable compiz for login accounts used on thin clients - or uninstall Nvidia proprietary drivers on server 2°) Once initial fun solved (disabling compiz), i created the following lts.conf: [default] XSERVER="vesa" LDM_DIRECTX=True CONSOLE_KEYMAP="fr" I got the following message when booting a thin client: (process:276) : Glib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0). Thin client stopped here. I switched (CTRL+ALT+F1) to thin client console, to check the local X.org log file, where I found: (EE) VESA: kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load.... A local "ps aux" shows X is <defunct>. Back to the server, I tried different XSERVER values in lts.conf (radeon, vga) and I got the same error. Should I conclude you can't use specific XSERVER values in lts.conf when Nvidia proprietary drivers are installed on the server?
