[Ltsp-discuss] max sesion reached

Well, this is a problem: I just installed nine new thin clients on our server. Everything looks good except that now 3 machines won't start up. I get (among other things) Session declined: Maximum number of open sessions reached. Also, it seems that the modprobe is looking for

Joe, THe setting you need to change in gdm.conf is: MaxSessions It defaults to 16 on Ubuntu. Also, the error about the missing modprobe.devfs file indicates to me that you are using the 2.6.9-ltsp-3 kernel. You really should be using the 2.4.26-ltsp-3. There's all sorts of issues with

Heh . . . probably a bit too late in the game to change the kernel just yet, unless you can think of a way to implement it without any downtime, but I'll be sure to ask here to see which kernel I should use before my next install. I just grabbed the most recent looking version when I did my

For any other big dummies like me out there who installed the 2.6 ltsp kernel BEFORE reading the warning, I think I have a temporary solution for getting USB scanners working. At least it worked for me you're welcome to try: http://www.computer-essence.com/help/Scanner_2.6.wwc Gary

[Ltsp-discuss] HP t5515 PXE boot

2006-02-18 Thread Dave Close
Can anyone offer a working configuration for PXE-booting a t5515 with LTSP. Here's what I have at present. Server /etc/dhcpd.conf: server-identifier my.client.com; default-lease-time 86400; max-lease-time 86400; option domain-name client.com; option domain-name-servers 192.168.31.1;

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] HP t5515 PXE boot

2006-02-18 Thread Jim McQuillan
Dave, It looks like you are using PXE to load the pxelinux.0 NBP, which is correct, but then you've configured the pxelinux.0 to load the Etherboot kernel. That's NOT correct. Why not just use the PXE config that comes with LTSP? Your 'filename' entry in dhcpd.conf, should look like this:
