Hello, I've been using ltsp with thin clients for a while now, and have recently been deploying ltsp-pnp with Fat Cleints.
One of the things that I'm failing to grasp is how the software updates work. My understanding has been that with fat clients, in order for them to get updated software, I have to update the ltsp client image. Well, today, I found that one of my ltsp servers has been doing security updates automatically. So I looked at which packages were updated, and I decided to check the versions against what was running on the fat clients. They were the same. I looked, and the ltsp image on the server is much older than the update. So in my mind, the software on the fat client should have been an older version, up until I would have run: ltsp-update-image --cleanup / So, my question is, how did the software get updated? Does the ltsp image even get used with ltsp-pnp? It's very confusing, because the documentation on the Ubuntu Wiki and others indicate that you /have/ to run the above command to push software updates to the clients. I'm asking both out of curiosity, and to maybe clean up my procedures, as well as have a better understanding for future troubleshooting. -- Thanks!
