I have been trying to get an LTSP server and client running, but so far
have failed with several approaches. All attempts have ended with the
client boot error "PXE-061: Media test failure."
--------
WITH UBUNTU:
With Ubuntu 12.04 32-Bit Alternate Install CD, and setting F4 Modes to
Install an LTSP Server, I understand that with two network cards
installed, the installer should automatically set up a ready-to-server
LTSP server. Just connect your client to eth1 (the secondary network
interface) and boot.
This Ubuntu attempt used a PC with Intel Celeron 2.8GHz, 512MB, and
plenty of hard drive space. I tried 3 different client PC's set to
network boot. I also tried booting clients with eth0 on the server not
connected to the network just in case there was an IP conflict in play.
System Monitor on the server does not show any processes running named
LTSP-something or Terminal-something.
--------
WITH LUBUNTU:
I also tried Lubuntu 12.04 32-Bit Alternate Install, which does not have
an F4 option to Install an LTSP Server. Then I used this procedure for
manually setting up the LTSP Server:
Preferences: Network Connections: edit Wired Connection 1 (eth1)
IPv4
Auto --> Manual
IP: 192.168.1.1
SNM: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: none
DNS server: none
Run: LXTerminal
sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386
sudo leafpad /etc/ltps/dhcpd.conf
edit to change every 192.168.0.x --> 192.168.1.x so as not to
conflict with my modem at 192.168.0.1
Reboot and test
I also tried the Lubuntu setup with eth1 set to 192.168.0.1 and
DHCPD.CONF in its default configuration to support that, but I got the
same failure error.
--------
What do I look at next?
