With original Ubuntu 8.04 it did not. http://www.arkki.info/howto/Atom_Server/Intel_D945GCLF_as_Thin_Client_Hardy.png I have to tell xorg.conf to the mobo. [00:22:15:15:4B:4C] X_CONF = /etc/X11/asus-eee-xorg.conf [00:1C:C0:47:E2:C0] X_CONF = /etc/X11/xorg.conf But there is nothing special on that xorg.conf? Without it I got automatically 1600x1200 for 20" LCD (native is 1680x1050). This feels slower than Asus Eee PC? Anyway, it works perfect (resolution, sound and USB-stick): http://www.arkki.info/howto/Atom_Server/Intel_D945GCLF_as_Thin_Client_Hardy.png Best Regards Asmo Koskinen. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 10:55:48 -0500 From: Bob Wooden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: suddenly BusyBox on clients To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Edubuntu-users list <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Have a small LTSP Ubuntu (8.04) system at work. Was working on Friday when we left. Over the weekend, I apt-get update via ssh from home and this morning we are seeing BusyBox (initramfs) prompts on our clients. Keyboard and monitor (on server) allows , but clients see only BusyBox prompts. I am searching forums now, but need to get fixed today. Any suggestion regarding what is wrong? ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:58:52 +0200 From: antonello facchetti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: centralized authentication - request for advice To: Edubuntu-users list <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed I'm setting up a new lab from scratch, using ubuntu 8.04. I have about 30 pc in the lab and in the classrooms. I want every user (about 100) have his own login and home. In the old lab I set up things in a veeeery awkward way (little or no time at disposition) with NFS (always working, no problems at all) and simply copying /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group in every pc. Non I've got some time to spend and I want to do it the right way. NFS server seems to me the simplest way. I need some advice regarding centralized authentication. It seems to me that ldap is a bit complicated to set up, and has features I really don't need: all I want is a server giving everyone a login-password-home and nothing else. Are there any alternatives?
