Hello,
Just subscribed and this is my first email. I am indebted already to the
help and advice of alkisg on #ltsp on freenode.
I'm in a bit of a hole, and am wondering how to get out of it.
I've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp and
https://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto and now run a 32 bit server Ubuntu
16.04.02 install and 32 bit clients (Dell FX170 client hardware), with a
single NIC static IP and a DHCP running on my router. I only require
thin clients (fat clients run far too slowly on this hardware).
The clients run great with a Mate desktop, *but* I am left with a major
issue on my server / workstation, which is actually the "main computer".
The issue is described here
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2363087
and a related bug report here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe/+bug/1698118?comments=all
The whole set up is usable, but some types of actions are a lot more
difficult than they need to be, and I need to keep clearing the caches.
And I would dread trying to rebuild the client images. This is not a
sustainable set up in the long term.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to run a 64 bit server and 32 bit clients using LTSP,
with the DHCP server on my router?
2. If so, is there an up to date step by step guide to achieve this? I
am aware of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP but
it is seriously out of date.
3. (related) Anyone any pointers to using the installer DVD to install
over only /dev/sda1 and not touch /home on /dev/sda5? I tried this once
on another machine and had to reinstall grub because I'd misunderstood
the whole process, and don't know why.
Thanks for considering this question! :)
Andrew
