Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Hello, need a howto for LTSP Fat-client on Debian Squeeze
Well this is odd, when try to boot into a fat client, Im dumped to a shell prompt in the top left corner, none of the programs I installed with chroot are available I get no desktop gui, startx wont run, says user is not authorized. And what else is odd, Its got me rooted in my secondary hard disk! lol /mnt/secondary/ I have no idea why it would think thats the root disk On 03/12/2012 05:25 AM, Rob Owens wrote: > ltsp-chroot --mount-proc -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Hello, need a howto for LTSP Fat-client on Debian Squeeze
Ok, so its booting up with fat client specified in the lts.conf and I dont get a desktop, but I do get a shell prompt on the top left corner and I can run a few commands, also, only one of my user accounts is working with it, I added a user under chroot, rebooted the client and the account wont let me login, says it isnt allow access, hmm, Also on the user account I can login with Startx does this X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. giving up. xinit: No suck file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Hello, need a howto for LTSP Fat-client on Debian Squeeze
Benjamin, your error appears because the chroot hasnt been tricked into thinking it's a real computer. You do this, by firing up this little command 'mount -t proc proc /proc' before you try installing anything, but after you've chroot'ed. When you're done installing the packages, fire off this command 'sudo umount /opt/ltsp/i386/proc' (change i386 if you're building for a different architecture). This will get your chroot running smoothly like a sewing machine in a gallon of oil. Also, a little note. A quick googling before you mail would save you the frustration of the relatively slow line of communication. if you googled your error message (proc not mounted) along with the action you were trying to attempt (modifying chroot), i'm sure someone has written something down -- Venlig Hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.net APS -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Hey benjamin Just a thought, but have you double-checked the /etc/exports file to see if the shares are configured right?

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Hello, need a howto for LTSP Fat-client on Debian Squeeze
Well its irrelevant anyway since my pxe thin client cannot find the nfs root. Now, the tuts on ltsp say to use a dhcp server as the ltsp server. Well I dont want, nor need to do that since I have a router with pxe or "next server" options in the dhcp server and PXE booting installs works just fine, but correct me if I am wrong. But in these tuts it looks like the dhcp-server to run typically with ltsp has an extra entry in its conf for the location of the nfs root, is this neccesary? is this why I my clients cant find the nfs root?

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Hello, need a howto for LTSP Fat-client on Debian Squeeze
well I did this per your suggestion deviant:/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386# sudo ltsp-chroot apt-get install $desktop_environment_or_window_manager $other_apps Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. herp derp, that clearly did nothing, what am I doin wrong here? lol -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

Quoting from this thread: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.general/28839 You do this: ltsp-build-client --late-packages "$desktop_environment_or_window_manager $other_apps" alternately, after you've already built an LTSP chroot: sudo ltsp-chroot apt-get install $desktop_environment_or_window_manager $other_apps in either case, then set LTSP_FATCLIENT=true in lts.conf. that's pretty much it. I don't think it matters if you use xdm or gdm on the server, but the thin clients should probably be using ldm, which is the default. -Rob -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
