Hi, You surely need to install SAMBA for your Ubuntu installation to interract with MS Windows network and do some configuration on Ubuntu machine regarding those drives on Windows server in order to gain full access to the content. Read the help file that comes with Ubuntu, it is very straight forward. David

I installed everything but when I connect a client it gives me the following: PXE-T01: File not found. PXE-E3B:TFTP Error - File not found The server is 64 bit and the clients are 64 bit capable. I did some digging and I found my /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf. This is what it has: # # Default LTSP dhcpd.conf config file. # authoritative; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250; option domain-name "example.com"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255; option routers 192.168.0.1; # next-server 192.168.0.1; # get-lease-hostnames true; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" { filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0"; } else { filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img"; } } I know the error that PXE is giving me is because I did not run this command ltsp-build-client --arch i386 and the i386 image file is not created. My question is: Is it possible to have amd64 and i386 image files and select which one the thin client uses to boot? Maybe by modifying the if statement in dhcpd.conf or have options on boot of the thin client? Thanks -- Nicolas Roussi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So change your dhcpd.conf file to have /opt/ltsp/amd64 The /opt/ltsp/amd64 directory and the image should already have been created when you installed the LTSP server.

But my question was if it is possible to have both chroot architectures (amd64 and i386) and have the client select which one to boot from. Anyway, I created an i386 image and it the clients boot fine and I can log in through the GDM. My problem though is that I cannot log in to the thin client through the command line. I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ?action=show#head-285f03d2d3ed2f29847c7793dbdb8f1488814c1band when I try to log in as root I get the error that my account is expired. Is there anyone that has a solution to this? Thanks On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 3:45 PM, David Van Assche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For 64 bit clients, you need to feed pxe with amd64, not i386.

Last year we used as server an Intel Core-2 Duo with 4 GB RAM. This coming school year I plan to add more thin clients, from an existing 16 we plan to add about 24 more. The thin clients we will be using this time are old IBM Celeron 766 32 MB RAM we got from a second-hand computer shop. But if we will add more thin clients then we would need more than 4 GB RAM (RAM - 512 MB Server, 128MB per thin client). In this case I believe we need to use the 64-bit version the fact that the i386 could address only up to 4 GB RAM. Questions: (1) Will the 64-bit version work with Intel Core-2 Duo? (2) If it will work (or I will use an AMD 64) would there be NO problem if the thin clients are 32-bit? (3) I tested a unit (32 MB RAM) and it worked with Edubuntu 7.10. Is 32 MB enough or I need 64 MB for 8.04? (3) In case the setup for 64bit Server and 32-bit client will NOT work: (3a) Will it be possible to divide the thin clients (to divide the CPU load) across two servers (4 GB RAM each) but still share a common disk system? (3b) Will it be better to have two separate network servers and use just enough thin clients until the server runs out of RAM required for the clients? How may users access their files in case they logged in the other "network?" Thank you very much in advance. Your previous help have been very useful indeed.
