Pritesh, please always post your questions to the ml for the benefit of other people and also do not use html markup (I prefer and recommend plain text). Please check that you have the DISPLAY env variable set: open a shell on one of the terminals while in graphics mode (not on the server!) and type: echo $DISPLAY if it returns blank then you have something screwed in your ltsp setup, else it should say: hostname:x.y The snippet below should return hostname. Do the clients connect to the server and can you actually use them (except for local device access of course)? Can you post your client environment (copy and paste the output of the following command: env ) Best regards, Umberto On 22 Oct 2005 11:47:41 -, pritesh patel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: dear, i have installed ltsp-4.1.1 on the fc3 linux. i want to mount local devices such as floppy, harddisk and cdrom. i downloaded the lda-new archive and installed it... but still it is not working... can u explain me my following query? what will the following entries of the file LDA-functions and LDA-startup will do?

[Ltsp-discuss] Having trouble with a Dell GX620
Hi, This is probably going to turn out to be a real newby request but here goes ... I am having trouble getting a Dell GX620 (ultra small unit) to boot via PXE. I am using a Dell GX620 Desktop machine loaded with Fedora Core 4 as the LTSP Server and can boot an old Dell LS Laptop from it. I understand that the Dell GX620 range contains the same basic hardware and therefore assume that the GX620 Desktop and Ultra Small unit contain the same on-board network card which is the Broadcom 57xx card. When I try to boot the GX6200 Ultra Small unit it picks up the pxelinux.0 and loads the kernel image (bzImage-2.6.9-ltsp-3) and the initrd (initrd-2.6.9-ltsp-3.gz) messages scroll past until the process stops with the messages: ERROR! Could not automatically detect the network card. PCI cards should be detected automatically ... Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! What have I tried: Well, 1) I have checked what type of network card mod the kernel on the Server is using and lsmod returns tg3 which I think is the correct driver for the Broadcom 57xx. 2) I have a copy of the Ubuntu 5.10 install CD and have copied the initrd and kernel images from it and configured the server to boot the client from that. It worked!, and starts the install process. By pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 on the client (GX620 Ultra Small unit) I get a shell and have checked what network card mod the kernel is using on the client (lsmod returns tg3). I have taken copies of both the Ubuntu 5.10 initrd and the initrd-2.6.9- ltsp-3.gz unzipped them both and mounted them to check differences. As I am sure you all know there are some, but the ones that seemed to be relevant are around the modules.pcimap, modules.alias, and niclist (there is not one in /etc in the Ubuntu initrd). The tg3.ko files are of different sizes. I have tried to bring the modules.pcimap and modules.alias files into the same state and have copied the Ubuntu tg3.ko file over to the initrd-2.6.9-ltsp-3 initrd. This was all done in a large number of steps retesting between mods. 3) I have tried to download and compile both the linux-2.6.12 and linux-2.6.13 kernels (with and without the Broadcom driver down loaded from their website) but still get the same problem. nb: I do get a couple of messages when using the buildk script which I downloaded as part of the ltsp_initrd_kit. These are: zipping initrd running mknbi-linux mknbi-linux: invalid option --output ls: /usr/src/ltsp_initrd_kit/vmlinuz-2.6.12: No such file or directory 4) I have tried adding the option option-129 NIC=tg3; line to the dhcpd.conf file but to no joy. Can anyone give me any pointers? Best regards, Patrick --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Having trouble with a Dell GX620
Patrick, why everybody now has to use Ubuntu? Ubuntu is a nice and colorfull ditsribution, but Ubuntu is new and Ubuntu still has many bugs. That's normal for a one year old project but it's the reality?? Try debian, Fedora, Geento or whatever for the beginning. Later you can change if you like. Another problem: I can use 'any' used network-card, but If for example if somebody before has changed the settings for a 3Com-Card from 100 MBit to 10MB, using the 3Com-Software for that, for Linux in the future it will be a 10MBit-Card. Linux don't know about the content of the eeprom of these card. To fix this, you need the 3Com-software. In your special case, you should first change the card for testing. It's possible, there is a problem with the driver, a hardware problem with the pci-bus, an IRQ Problem or whatever. It's possible too, there is a problem with your network-card. Ether a hardware-problem or a problem wirh the eeprom-settings. But I don't think, this is a LTSP problem. In your case for example, what if somebody has changed the clock-rate for the pci-bus from 66 to 75. Many mainboard have a jumper for this. The risk is, your system will not be stable anymore. Sometimes it will work, sometimes not! Really guys, the LTSP project is great and the software-package is good, but even for this you can not use 'any' old low cost hardware. And there is another problem: Nearly all cards I know with a bootprom, the pxe-loader-software - the one inside the eeprom - is buggy. Low cost card, Intel or 3Com, it's all the same. I don't use bootproms anymore, I prefer Etherdisk instead. Try it out, change the hardware and be patient .

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Having trouble with a Dell GX620
Joe, I don't have a problem with Ubuntu, but fact is, Ubuntu is new and Ubuntu still has many bugs. Specially if it comes to hardware problems, the people should use one of the standard-distros where they really can find help in the net. Ok, after that, after the have fixed the problem, they can try the same with Ubuntu, why not Now many people will change to Ubuntu plus LTSP. Why? Because the like to safe money. For many people it looks like, with Ubuntu the can use any old cheap hardware. But Linux is not Windows. What, if it will not work right away??? They will not complain about the cheap hardware, the will complain about Linux and LTSP, because with Windows before, they don't have problems ... That's what I mean. And the reason why many people are using Ubuntu now, it's not because it's working just fine, it's because the good marketing of the Ubuntu Foundation, like CD-ROMS for free for example Guenther Davao City, Philippines, Planet Earth Joe Auerbach wrote: Guenther Boelter wrote: Patrick, why everybody now has to use Ubuntu?

[Ltsp-discuss] Local Media Cybercafé customers' desktop (KDE Mepis)
Hello, I have two questions, related to the implementation of LTSP as a cybercafé. First question : I am using a Mepis with KDE and I would like to get rid of the icons (partitions, CD-ROM and floppy) that are automatically displayed on a new user's desktop. After hours of search, I still could not locate which file I should modify and put as such in /etc/skel. The second question is about the local media. It works fine and I would like to put icons on the desktop that are corresponding to the local media (CDROM and Floppy). I use a cybercafé management software (DireqCafé http://www.silentcoder.co.za/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=DireqCafe ) that generates 'temporary' users and tickets with usernames to log one's in. The users are generated using the /etc/skel, but as nobody can guess which ticket (corresponding to a 'temporary' user) will be used on which machine, it is not relevant to generate a desktop icon pointing to : smb://nobody@192.168.0.2/drives if the session happens on the machine 192.168.0.10. The customer may be surprised to read the CD of another customer and not his own. So my question is : is there a way to retrieve the name or IP of the thin-client that is being used by the customer ? The icons could then point to a little script that would itself display the content of the relevant local media. Many thanks in advance for your tips and advice, Catherine --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

[Ltsp-discuss] Sound WebCam for LTSP
Sorry guys, I really have checked google.com for days now, but the result until now is negativ. My problem is, how can I connect a headset and a webcam to my LTSP-Terminals? I know, there is a sound-package and sound is a well known problem with linux. But until now I was not able to fix it. Ether there is no sound or the sound sounds terrible at the workstation. I've tried ALSA, OSS and ESD, I've tried to start Skype with 'esd skype', but it's all the same: terrible or not working! I have tried NASD, the same. And the result after google.de, all the people have the same problem. I really like LTSP, but the soundproblem realy should be fixed. I'm a german and I live in the Philippines since one year now. Here in Davao City we have arround the 300!!! Cybercafes with arround 3000!! computers, all with Windows (pirated Windows!) and s many people would like to change to Linux, but the people here can not live without Rice, cellphone, Sound and a webCam! The only think I like to know is, is it possible or not? I know, it's all for free and so I should not complain. But believe me, I'm not complaining against LTSP. I'm only angry with the documentation incl. the wiki if it comes to this point. So many people have these problem, but it looks like, nobody knows the answer. So please tell me, is it possible, yes or no? If yes, where can I get the right informations and why these informations are not a part of the documentation? I'm 100% sure, if sound and webcam will work, this will be the next big step fir the LTSP project. And I am sure too, I am not the only one, who is interested to get an answer for this question.

[Ltsp-discuss] accessing a local usb drive
Hello all: I am new to the whole ltsp thing. I have successfully setup a ltsp server and tested it with a pxe-bootable workstation. My goal is to have a pxe bootable terminal connect to a digital recorder, which when put into an I/O mode, will become a standard usb HD. So I guess I need to configure my setup so that a terminal-local usb port will be active, detect when a usb hd is present, and perform some i/o operations on the attached HD. I plan on using a java app. to then upload the files from the recorder to an nfs server. can someone help me out here? Point me to some documentation?? Thanks, Chris.
