Motto: "We were also wondering about the future of pure thin clients, many upstreams are writing software that arent at all thin client friendly (Clutter-based software like Gnome Shell and Totem, Unity, etc) and at the same time, thin client hardware is becoming increasingly powerful. Its possible that there may be a focus on making diskless fat clients working even better with LTSP and make it easier to use remote-apps for running only certain applications the application servers." http://jonathancarter.org/2012/10/10/ltsp-by-the-sea-2012/ I also like to share few notes about Lubuntu LTSP-PNP/Fat client/Epoptes installation. I made a minimal demo setup to carry around with me, two Asus Eee laptops, 900 and 701. http://arkki.info/howto/Precise/Asus_Eee_ltsp-pnp.jpg http://arkki.info/howto/Precise/Asus_Eee_ltsp-pnp-Epoptes.png Re-think what is system called LTSP-PNP. To me it is a desktop that you shrink to the image (/opt/ltsp/images/i386.img) to send to the fat clients. No server/thin clients problems. No chroot/fat client problems. And of course you can choose any Desktop CD you like. I made earlier a slideshow about general installation steps. http://www.slideshare.net/mobile/asmok/lubuntultsppnp-in-english * I use fixed nic (eth0) * With Epotes do not 'epoptes-client -c' ** root@Lubuntu-eee:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep 192.168.100.100 address 192.168.100.100 ** root@Lubuntu-eee:~# cat /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf | grep proxy # If another DHCP server is present on the network, you may use a proxy range dhcp-range=192.168.100.0,proxy ** root@Lubuntu-eee:~# cat /etc/default/epoptes-client | grep 192.168.100.100 SERVER=192.168.100.100 ** root@Lubuntu-eee:~# cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail nameserver 8.8.4.4 nameserver 8.8.8.8 ** root@Lubuntu-eee:~# cat /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf [Default] SCREEN_02=shell SCREEN_07=ldm # RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES="dnsmasq nbd-server nfs-kernel-server ssh whoopsie" RM_THIN_SYSTEM_SERVICES="binfmt-support openbsd-inetd qemu-kvm virtualbox winbind" # USE_LOCAL_SWAP=True # X_BLANKING=0 X_NUMLOCK=False XKBLAYOUT="fi" LDM_LANGUAGE="fi_FI.UTF-8" # REMOTE_APPS=True LDM_DIRECTX=True LDM_THEME=lubuntu LDM_FORCE_SESSION=startlubuntu LDM_FORCE_LANGUAGE="fi_FI.UTF-8" SSH_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS=False NFS_HOME=/home # [00:22:15:15:4b:4c] HOSTNAME=ltsp001 LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True LDM_USERNAME=ltsp001 LDM_PASSWORD=ltsp001 Best Regards Asmo Koskinen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
