I think I have found a bug in LTSP4 release. I recently upgraded from LTSP3 and preserved my old lts.conf file. I discovered the new LTSP4 does not boot on _one_ terminal. Other ones I have tested booted correctly (I didn't test all of them). The error message was:
syslogd: cannot write to remote file handle on192.168.0.254:514 192.168.0.254 is not the server that should be recieving syslog messages. I have set the SERVER variable correctly in lts.conf. After a little debugging I found that the lts.conf was causing the problem. I removed the following line: X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/ttyS0" from the lts.conf [Default] section and it began booting correctly. I assume that getltscfg does not parse my config file correctly. I will attach two ltsp config files, one that is working (lts.conf.working) and the failing one (lts.conf.failing). You can diff those files yourself. Besides that I also found that the /etc/vidlist file is out of date. It was already reported by someone else on the list. -- Kalev Lember
