[Desktop-packages] [Bug 491940] Re: Patch for LTSP clients to properly reboot/shutdown

2012-08-27 Thread John Hupp
If this bug refers to the inelegant and tedious behavior in which LTSP clients have to click Shutdown 3 times (once on the desktop, again in a Shutdown/Restart dialog, and the dropping back to the login screen, choose Preferences: Shutdown), then I confirm that it is still a problem under Ubuntu

2012-11-21 Thread John Hupp
I don't know how my case enters this discussion, but it is certainly connected to the current default installation wherein network-manager starts an instance of dnsmasq to act as a DHCP, DNS and TFTP server. I was troubleshooting an LTSP-PNP client boot problem under Lubuntu Quantal. I installed

Thanks for the explanation of how removal of /etc/dnsmasq.d/network- manager sets up a conflict between standalone dnsmasq and NM-dnsmasq. (But also see my surprising observation below.) Should this conflict be manifesting itself somehow? Everything seems to be working right now. Well, I am

I thought I was done with this kind of issue, but I may be back for more. It turns out that the only LTSP client that boots normally is the one that I was doing all of the above troubleshooting on. Others that I have tried in my little 2-PC setup all stop at a blank/black screen after

Agreed. And I had hoped that I could eliminate ntpd as the source of the problem by using a simple switch in the LTSP configuration to turn it off for the client. Unfortunately that does not seem to be effective in disabling ntpd. Troubleshooting that elsewhere . -- You received this bug
