 Hi there,

 We run an Ubuntu 8.10 (kubuntu)  - LTSP 5 lab with 26 clients. The Server is
 a Geniune server (Intel S5000VSA) with 8GB RAM (we never exceed 4GB). It is
 a Quad core machine with 10/100/1000 onboard LAN outlet. The Clients are
 most P4 2600 machines with 512M RAM.

 We recently purchased 2 quiet dual-core G41 machines - very new and very
 fast - with 1GB RAM each.
 We have installed r8136 LAN cards with BOOT ROMS on them.

 The problem is that it takes a FULL 10 minutes for the machines to bring up
 a login Screen. This is ridiculous and uncacceptable - Can anyone help me
 here?

 The /var/log/daemon.log appears below: 192.168.0.155 is fixed for the moment
 I reset the machine to time its bringing up of a login screen - see below --
 Starting at 12:00:00  with a reboot and ending at 12:10:07 with the
 appearance of the login screen:


This may sound crazy but try disabling one of the cores if you can.  I
ran across a similar situation with a Intel boards where disabling
hyper-threading was the cure, this was with 8.04 though.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Not able to lock workstation on LTSP Client: Xfce

2009-07-21 Thread Dan Maranville
 
  I have installed Xubuntu-Desktop on Ubuntu Server 8.04 64-bit for LTSP.
  I am able to lock the workstation on the server by pressing 
  Ctrl+Alt+Delete,
  but this doesn't work on the LTSP client?
  Is there any option to lock the workstation on the LTSP client?
 
  I haven't used XFCE in a while, but isn't there a lock screen option in 
  the logout prompt?
 
  -Rob

You could try creating a shortcut to xflock4, I think that is what it is.

If these are regular users, why not have the access to the terminal restricted?
Is there a reason they are allowed access to it?

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] how to mount external hard drives? + log problem? - LTSP 5 on Ubuntu 8.04

2009-04-29 Thread Dan Maranville
 I'm really unsure as to why Ubuntu gets all this hate directed against them
 because they don't backport new features from more current releases into older
 ones.  As far as I know, LTSP current isn't being backported into either 
 Fedora
 3 or Debian Sarge.

 LTS means they fix the security and crasher bugs for an extended period of
 time.  Period.

 Scott


It is because they recommend you install the latest non-lts to see if
your problems are fixed. Period.

2009-04-29 Thread Dan Maranville
I am going to leave it with this:

I didn't speak of LTSP in any negative way, I was simply making a
statement about _MY_ experiences with the current LTS (bugs in this
instance). Some are related to LTSP but not always, most are problems
known about for greater than 1 year in mainline Ubuntu.  If my comment
about LTS releases offends you or pisses you off I don't know what to
say. But, I am not sorry for saying it.
If you want to continue this please feel free to email me directly and
keep the list a little cleaner.

 that I could end up with just a box with no menus, toolbars or status bar.

 Next issue is that Firefox has a EULA toolbar/popup thing that I don't want 
 showing up when the client is booted.  Any thoughts on where what to edit to 
 get rid of that? /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js has a line 
 that reads:

 // Prevent EULA dialog to popup on first run
 pref(browser.EULA.override, true);

 but it's not doing anything.

 Any input is greatly appreciated.

 I know how to alter the userChrome.css file in a regular firefox install to 
 make the browser UI look like I want but can someone give me a clue how to 
 make the kiosk mode UI accept my changes.  The other option would be r-kiosk 
 extension but I'm not sure how to get other extensions installed in the ltsp 
 kiosk mode manually.

 Any clues on this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] feature request: specify apt proxy in ltsp-build-client

2009-01-10 Thread Dan Maranville
 Hey great, that worked.  I was able to build my chroot environment in 3 
 minutes flat (since all the debs were already cached).

 It seems this proxy setting only applies to commands run in the same terminal 
 window as the export command.  Is that correct (and is it normal)?

 -Rob

 Yes, you can add it to your bash.rc to keep it all the time or script it.

 I don't know about 4.2- but they work well with LTSP 5 on Ubuntu.

We use the 6050p's and they worked with 4.2 and are superb with 5.0 on Hardy.
Another bonus is that the customer service is fantastic with DevonIt.

 Hello together,

 I've got a problem with the LTSP version 5.1.3 on debian etch:
 Some processes (like OpenOffice) are not terminated after the session has
 ended. This is quite serious, since OpenOffice uses to lock user profiles
 and cannot be started again unless successfully terminated.
 Is there a way to ensure that all processes are terminated successful when
 users log off or clients shut down?

 Thanks in advance,
 Kai Stierl
