Hi all; I am currently tasked to implement and maintain a School LTSP. Installation went smoothly, but then when time comes to run the thing we have problems when students simultaneously run either of the following Tuxpaint, Tuxmath, childsplay and Gcompris and also the Client Manager gives us problems. clients will hangup and the server will crawl.
We also have sound problems for Flash and Java games on web-pages (the Lab doubles as an Internet Cafe after school hours so these two are essential). here is my specs: Server: AMD Athlon X2 running Edubuntu (32 bit) 7.04 Dual Gigabit Nvidia Network card (unfortunately, there is a bug with running this card in Giga mode so I have to run it in 100mbps) memory: 2Gig Harddisk: 120 Gig SATA Number of Clients: 26 Specs: AMD Sempron 2600+ with 512mb of memory. My superior is thinking of just buying harddisks for the clients so they become full pledge workstations, and I'm thinking that would be a lot of work esp. in installing and maintaining software, so advice for cloning workstations is also appreciated. While my "solution" is to try and make Fat-clients work since I think the clients can really handle it (except the netwok bottle neck thing). So LDAP + NFS. While I have read from this list a lot of discussion about LDAP I am afraid to try it on our production server, so as my windows upbringing thought me I used ghost to clone the server into an identical disk. but when I booted that disk the display would only say GRUB and nothing else. So maybe it cannot see the partitions since 7.04 uses UUID in fstab, so I edited those also in the GRUB's menu.lst but it wont still bootup. What did I miss? here is the partitioning scheme /dev/sda3 as / /dev/sda1 as /boot /dev/sda4 as /home /dev/sda2 as swap I need to clone the server so that I can easily try out the FAT-client setup and pullback to the original disk when things go bonkers. hope I am clear in my words and somebody will help out. thanks!! jBarry -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
