Hi everyone,

I currently have about 35 terminals connected to an LTSP server and
everything runs fine.  I setup a cronjob to shutdown all the terminals at
8:00PM each night.  The cronjob runs a shell script that essesentially runs
the following command: ltspinfo --shutdown -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  All the
terminals power off and the world stays round.  However, yesterday I added
another terminal to the mix.  This terminal is based around the VIA
EPIA-M10000-LVDS mini-ITX motherboard.  I built the system and set it up
normally on the LTSP server and it boots right up and runs fine...and then
later that night the server powered it down along with all the other
terminals.  This morning I tried to boot the new terminal up and it exits
the PXE boot before even trying to contact the DHCP server.  I poked around
in the BIOS and everything is set properly, but what finally did the trick
was removing power (physically unplugging the system) and then plugging it
in again.  I have tested this several times today by manually running the
ltspinfo command on that terminal and each time it refuses to boot afterward
unless it's unplugged first.  Obviously it's jamming up the network
interface and locking out the ROM option.  I'm just curious as to whether or
not anyone else has had an issue like this before.  I know that I haven't
with any other computers on the network and they are not all the same.  For
reference, this board uses the VIA CLE266/VT8235 Chipset and the LAN
interface is controlled by the VIA VT6103 chip.  Any thoughts would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,

If I may reply to myself...

I was missing the mkelf-linux step. I ran that to create a new nbi image,
copied it into /var/lib/tftpboot/i386/ and now things are good to go.

Hi,

Your ssh configuration seems to be ok. Did you have X / gnome installed on
the server that runs debian sid ? The problem sounds like an ssh tunnel
created between an X client running on your workstation and ...
nothing ... (no X display available on your ltsp server).

Ldm login manager tries to run startx or X-thing on server side but the
executable is not there and the ssh tunnel ends prematurely.

Thanks GC. My fusermount permissions are identical and /dev/fuse is owned by
"root" with group ownership "fuse" so I don't think thats the problem. I
re-installed etch on the server but with i386 architecture so I could use
the sarge libfuse2 pkg which is 2.2 but it has made no difference.

step 11 on
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42-LocalDev#Troubleshooting I
get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh add block /tmp 1024 Temp
fusermount: mount failed: Invalid argument

and:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh remove block /tmp 1024 Temp
fusermount: entry for /home/jmassey/Drives/tmp not found in /etc/mtab

So the lbus_event_handler.sh is firing off an invalid argument when it calls
fusermount? Not sure where I should look next.

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Thin Client Flash Gets Mounted
To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain

Running Ubuntu 6.10 / LTSP 5.  When I turned on local device support,
everything worked perfectly; USB, floppy, CD-ROM, even the local hard drive
on a PC running as a thin client.  

The problem is that it works too well.  The HP T5125's thin clients that I
use have 32MB of flash memory on it with a HP version of Linux installed.
There are no other drives obviously(CD-ROM, IDE, etc.) but because the flash
memory is detected and contains a file system, it is mounted as two drives
(ata1, ata2) that are unusable.  The strange thing is, when the user logs
out and then logs back in, they disappear (are unmounted).

What can I do to disable those from getting detected/mounted the first time
the user logs in?  Can certain devices be disabled from local device support
in LTSP 5 such as flash memory?  Anyone have similar experiences?

Currently have a two nic setup using ubuntu and LTSP5.  My thin clients

the gateway side (192.168.1.1).  My question is if I wanted to run a 
virtual machine thin client (vmware) on one of my desktops is there any 
way to cross connect those networks so I can get to the server side from 
the gateway side?  I tried connecting an ethernet cable between the two 
switches but it seemed to stun the network with a bunch of traffic.  Is 
there any way to do this?  I have looked around a bit but don't know the 
words for what I am trying to do. Do I need managed switches?

I might have missed something, but if you have two NICs in a box on
different subnets, can't you enable access between subnets simply by
switching on IP forwarding?

I guess that is what I am asking.  Essentially I would like the desktops 
connected to the gateway side of the server to be able to access the pxe 
boot on the client side.

------ Clarification:  my thin clients do access the internet through 
the server.  I am trying to go the other direction and allow my desktops 
to pxe boot without physically placing them in the client side traffic 
all the time.  I think a bridge may do it...this is probably not the 
right forum, I just figured people had done it with their setups...or I 
am trying to do something nonsensical.

That shouldn't be a problem, but one thing you may need is a DHCP server on 
your "gateway" side that can tell the virtual terminal where to boot from
and 
where to mount it's home directory (and where to connect to X).

First make sure that the tftp service and NFS will allow addresses on both 
nets (/etc/hosts.allow for portmap and tftpd and /etc/exports for NFS). Then

configure the DHCP server (on the gateway side) to send boot and root info
to 
the virtual terminal. This assumes the virtual terminal is on the "bridged" 
interface in VMWare. If you don't have control of that DHCP server, it might

be possible to put your virtual terminal on the "NAT" interface and use 
VMWare's dhcp server to feed this info to the virtual terminal.
