[Ltsp-discuss] RHEL 5.3, which package?
I'm looking to install LTSP on an RHEL 5.3 box, but there doesn't seem to be a package that's either targeted for this distro or a generic package for none of the above on the download page. Which package are other RHEL users installing? Thanks, k. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I did manage to get things like USB working (using a hack as they didn't show on the desktop, but I think that has to do with the Gnome version used in RHEL 5.3). Sound also seems to be mostly working. I have no need for local apps so I've never tested it. As long as one does not try to change the keyboard in Gnome, then it seems to be working fine on RHEL5.3 -- /daleif -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Ltsp-discuss] Mixed-mode setup
Hi everybody, here's the challenge: Get LTSP to work smoothly with a 64bit server running Debian Etch and Thin Clients that support 24 TFTs (1920x1200) plus sound and USB support. Dare to read on? ;-) Long(er) version: I'm trying to get LTSP to run on a Debian 4 (Etch) system. The server is 64-bit and the Thin Client(s) are 32-bit. I can create a working setup with the normal packages from the Debian repository using the --arch i386 Option to ltsp-build-client. So far so good :) but... ...there are a couple of drawbacks: - The graphics card in the Thin Client I'm testing with (which is a VIA model in a HP t5630 in case you're interested) isn't supported out of the box. - Sound and local USB-sticks don't seem to work out of the box. Using backports, as described in the Debian Wiki¹ doesn't seem to work because there are no 64-bit packages available, so I though'd I'd give the Debian 5 (Lenny) version a go. Here's how: 1) create client setup on a Lenny machine 2) copy everything over to the right places on the server (this means the stuff from the NFS share + TFTP directory) 3) edit etc/lts.conf 4) edit etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts 5) (re)boot the client Now the clients boots up and displays a pretty LDM login screen. Great! I can login with my credentials on the server (ldm.log says Established ssh session.) but then the X display goes black an that's it. Ooops. :-( Looks like something is missing (ldm.log says Process returned no status). What do I need to add to the server? ltspfs Package? Is there one out there that'll work? Anything else? Has anyone been there? Any ideas? TIA, Robert ¹ http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto/Etch-With-Backports -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
