Dear LTSP-ers,
It's been a few days. A few long days. My hope is waning but the sweet
Lord has put-eth a lot of energy in me to see this thing through. And
the day of enlightenment is fast approaching. But I am stuck. I get a
'slim' login manager screen and it does not allow me to login now. Yes,
I update the keys and image. Yes, I rebooted the server. Get this error
message in /var/log/syslog:

Don't know where the tftpd config file is. I took the daring step of
installing applications on a new build. Here are my steps:
FIRST
* Install OS
* Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bit OS
SECOND
* Install LTSP
* sudo apt-get update
* sudo apt-get upgrade
* sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone
* sudo ltsp-something-client -arch i386
* NOTE: Thats how I did it, a 64 bit server and 32 bit clients and
applications
THIRD
* Set DHCPD - … here's my configuration:
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.10.50 192.168.10.250;
option domain-name "siaya.ke";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.10;
option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255;
option routers 192.168.10.10;
# next-server 192.168.0.1;
# get-lease-hostnames true;
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";
}
}
* sudo apt-get remove dhcp-client
* sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp [tab] restart
FOURTH
* Install client environment and applications
* export LTSP_HANDLE_DAEMONS=false
* sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
* mount -t proc proc /proc
* apt-get install fluxbox fluxconf slim epiphany-webkit xfe abiword gnumeric
* umount /proc
* exit
* Reference: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
FIFTH
* Set Network
* sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces … here's my partial configuration:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.30
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.10
* sudo /etc/resolv.conf … here's my configuration:
nameserver 192.168.10.10
domain siaya.ke
search siaya.ke
* sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
* sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys
* sudo ltsp-update-image -a i386
FINAL
* Switch the running server off the LAN and put it on it's own switch
* Attach the thin client to the switch
* turn the thin client on
* if it does not get an IP, restart dhcpd on server
* if you get a login screen and cannot login, regenerate the sshkeys and
image
