Hi Johan,

when I invoke it like that

Even with the option: --extra-help? ...strange...

Actually, I don't know much about that kiwi implementation of ltsp. Tried it 
some time several yrs ago, but abandoned it due to complications. But I guess 
you can run it in the live DVD, or if you install it on a external usb drive?

Also, you can consider Alkis suggestion to use ltsp-pnp. With that you got some 
good simplicity enhancements, but a trade off is less flexibility. You can not 
use different images for different needs and architectures, all clients need to 
use the same. In my setups I have preferred to use normal ltsp, but for sure, 
with a less complicated environment ltsp-pnp would be useful. Though for me, I 
prefer the flexibility of having the choice of different chroots.

2017-02-21 Thread Alkis Georgopoulos
This is an up-to-date tutorial, with an up-to-date distro (ubuntu 16.04, 
proposed DE=mate), with an up-to-date ltsp, with an up-to-date kernel, 
with an up-to-date xorg:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp

You can easily install it to VM or a USB stick or USB disk and test in 
any environment you like.
When you're changing networks, the only thing to run is:
sudo ltsp-config dnsmasq --overwrite

Hi!


Hmm, what about the bios settings for the pxe boot in that nuc? Should be set 
to legacy boot only, not uefi.

Ok, I was alone in the office, shutdown the server and tried the 
edubuntu DVD.

Everyting starts as expected, I could start live-ltsp.

The NUC sees the DHCP, loads everything, starts - and ends up with a 
blinking cursor which disappears from time to time and appears again, 
blinking.

So it seems the graphics mode is not detected correctly, right? I tried 
TTY1, it was waiting for a login, but I didn't know what to use as password.

So I rebooted my server and wrote this mail :)

Hi Johan,

thanks for that idea. I downloaded and burned one and will test as soon 
as possible.

But: Wouldn't it be possible to let ltsp make a new 64bit image instead 
of the i386.img it made now?





Sure, you can build many types of images with ltsp-build-client. There are many 
different options, like architecture, name, place, what is included, etc. I 
have run ltsp servers with multiple different images for multiple different 
client types.

Just run this, and you get a list of the options: ltsp-build-client --extra-help






I see there is a two-step booting: First

1.
/srv/tftpboot/boot/initrd-ltsp
/srv/tftpboot/boot/linux-ltsp

are loaded and executed (and my linux-ltsp is from 2012). Then I would 
expect

2.
/srv/kiwi-ltsp/i386.img

to be loaded and run. This img was made new when I invoked 
ltsp-built-client the other day.

The /etc/dhcpd.conf points to pxelinux.0 to boot from, is that correct?





I attach one of my old dhcpd.conf files for you to have a look at.








Maybe I'm getting something completely wrong here, but if I could get my 
new NUC running on the old server, I could make a direct test under 
working conditions.

Rolf

There is still the Edubuntu live DVD to download, according to this site:
