Hello all I have set up several LTSP 4 servers in the past using FC 4 -6 with very little problems. I am building a LTSP - thin client setup for a call center in Portland Oregon and I started off with Fedora 7. I have been having major issues getting the KDM login to work. Seems there is

I've been using LTSP 4.2 on both Xubuntu 6.10 and Ubuntu 6.06, basically since those distros were released. No LTSP-related problems whatsoever. I'm also now using K12LTSP 5.0EL (which is CentOS 5 and LTSP 4.2). I haven't been using it long enough to claim it's perfectly stable, but I haven't

[Ltsp-discuss] LDM_DIRECTX option

2007-06-29 Thread Anthony M Simonelli
The new LDM script available on launchpad.net adds additional lts.conf options such as LDM_DIRECTX. This allows users to connect without proxying X traffic through SSH, which has improved the performance a great deal. Unfortunately, I have trouble using the lock screen and switch user

[Ltsp-discuss] How to try the latest builds of LTSP 5.

I have been using ltsp 4.2 (K12ltsp 6 and earlier) for a few years now and now I want to get up to speed with ltsp 5. I have downloaded Edubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Daily build and I have installed it as a VMware VM. How do I keep it up to date to try out the latest ltsp 5 features? Do I just run all the

[Ltsp-discuss] parallel AC and CAT5 cables = impossible?

I'm about to start running cable through plastic conduits for cat5 that were run parallel to AC lines, also inside plastic conduits. It's all cemented into walls. Is there are hope of this conduit still being useful? Do I need to reinstall or reroute the cat5 cables elsewhere, away from the

Check you local electric codes. Oregon you can not run low voltage with High voltage they would have to be in their own conduits. I am not sure on emi though but I have ran cat5 and 110 together with no problems. Jaimie light being wrote: I'm about to start running cable through plastic

I'm in brazil, codes are not exactly a problem... Some runs being around 80 feet and the espresso machine using up to 2500 watts might be more serious. Maybe I'll try using shielded cable for the first time in my life... Check you local electric codes. Oregon you can not run low voltage

I would think if the AC is shielded and the Cat5 is shielded should be fine. if you can I would do a short test run if there are some junction boxes where you could pull the cat5 out. Running 80 not that big a deal if you had to pull it all out and do something different. light being wrote:

From your initial post, it sounds like the AC and CAT5 will each be in their own conduit (i.e., the AC will NOT be running in the SAME conduit as the cat-5). If this is the case, I suspect you'll be fine with 100Mbps..Don't know about Gig, though. If you're concerned, running shielded cable (and
