Many thanks to all who have replied to my question. I have finally managed to set up RPi as a thin client, it works quite smoothly. I have followed the tutorial written by Harry Lavender ( http://www.uzerp.com/blog/running-raspberry-pis-as-thin-clients-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts/), but with

Regarding available inexpensive x86 clients as an alternative to trying the RPi, I bought used HP dc7900 USDT's (ultra small desktop) for our lab via Ebay. It may not be a universal solution, but given that we had monitors, keyboards, and mice, it worked for us. These generally have Core 2 Duo

I am unable to run RPi as a thin client. The only thing I accomplished so far is installing Edubuntu 12 on VmWare along with LTSP and connect to it using Berryterminal on RPi. However, X session does not start, I am only able to run so called FailSafeTerminal (probably because there is no

Hello, I recently wrote a guide on how to install LTSP and BerryTerminal from scratch, meaning you can use the Pi as a fully functioning thin client: http://www.uzerp.com/blog/running-raspberry-pis-as-thin-clients-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts/ This version doesn't use raspbian, unlike LTSP-Pi.

Hi, Please tell me, has anyone really succeeded in configuring RPi as an LTSP thin client? I have already read all sort of tutorials, discussions and reported problems (including http://cascadia.debian.net/~vagrant/rpi-ltsp-howto.txt) and I have tried to do as suggested. Unfortunately, I am

Yeah, thank you for your answer, but the project you have referred to considers RPi as Fat clients. Actually, I have played a bit with @gbaman's project and I have to admit that it works. Nonetheless, RPi Fat clients are extremely slow, because all the operations are calculated on target. What I

@Asmo Thanks, this looks like a walkaround to my problem, but maybe I will use remoteapps. @Vagrant Well, my feeling exactly. I think I would rather get some x86 terminal dedicated to this kind of operations. However, I found very few terminals available on market, all of them extremely expensive

Quoting James Linder j...@tigger.ws: I do. It’s easy. It works well. RPi as a stand alone machine running X on the ltsp server. All the heavy lifting is done on the ltsp server and frankly once it works why ever bother to upgrade the RPi. IE LTSP with the server doing the X but not the
