Hi,

as far as i know the ltsp uses nbd for mounting the filesystem.

For documents, pictures and so on from the users i use ldap. For example: the 
user logs in and get all his files via autofs from the fileserver.

If you have a chroot you need to chroot into this file and install your 
application there.

When you are running an ubuntu 14.04 you have ltsp 5.5.1 so you simply do a 
ltsp-update-image -c / . Now every client will run as a flat client and has 
every app the server has.

best regards
Martin

Betreff: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] ltsp-build-client and dist parameter


We just implemented a LMDE LTSP server at our Linux User Group lab so we are 
just starting learning LTSP and I apologize for the newbie questions:

Is it correct that the Thin/Fat client mount via NFS their filesystem ? (If 
think yes, since I had to update the "export" file...)
What are the steps I have to do if I want to ad files (documents, picture, 
etc...) to the file systems shared by the clients ?
What are the steps if I want to add an application ready for the clients ? (an 
example, "mc")

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Ciao
Fabrizio

Since Ubuntu and Debian are fairly close, you might be able to install one from
the other, but you'll need to force the VENDOR used. For example, on an Ubuntu
server:

  VENDOR=Debian ltsp-build-client --dist wheezy

or on a Debian server:

  VENDOR=Ubuntu ltsp-build-client --dist precise


Mint is a little odd, in that it's essentially Ubuntu with some extra packaging
and settings, so it's technically implemented as an Ubuntu variant in
ltsp-build-client.

And Mint Debian Cinnamon 64 bit has been installed on the server we are setting 
up at our LUG to experiment on LTSP.
We were forced to specify --dist and we specified

ltsp-build-client --dist wheezy

Time to fix the DHCP server that didn't start on the second eth and we'll 
see...!


I can't speak for how the other linux distros work...


It is our intention to test a few of them, hope to be able to share the results.

Many thanks!
