[Ltsp-discuss] LTSP with Raspberry Pi as thin client

2014-09-08 Thread Paweł Ptasznik
Hi, Please tell me, has anyone really succeeded in configuring RPi as an LTSP thin client? I have already read all sort of tutorials, discussions and reported problems (including http://cascadia.debian.net/~vagrant/rpi-ltsp-howto.txt) and I have tried to do as suggested. Unfortunately, I am unable

For me, running LTSP extensively in a school, a small robust thin client like RPi, running reliably with Edubuntu would be a dream situation. Mark Ellse On 8 September 2014 09:37, Paweł Ptasznik wrote: > Hi, > > Please tell me, has anyone really succeeded in configuring RPi as an LTSP > thin cl

Yeah, thank you for your answer, but the project you have referred to considers RPi as Fat clients. Actually, I have played a bit with @gbaman's project and I have to admit that it works. Nonetheless, RPi Fat clients are extremely slow, because all the operations are calculated on target. What I ne

@Asmo Thanks, this looks like a walkaround to my problem, but maybe I will use remoteapps. @Vagrant Well, my feeling exactly. I think I would rather get some x86 terminal dedicated to this kind of operations. However, I found very few terminals available on market, all of them extremely expensive

Hello, I recently wrote a guide on how to install LTSP and BerryTerminal from scratch, meaning you can use the Pi as a fully functioning thin client: http://www.uzerp.com/blog/running-raspberry-pis-as-thin-clients-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts/ This version doesn't use raspbian, unlike LTSP-Pi. Thank

This looks like a good solution. There are several steps, which I did not perform yet. Thank you, I will try it on weekend, as on Thursday and Friday I am virtually out of home. Best regards Paweł Ptasznik 2014-09-10 15:23 GMT+02:00 Harry Lavender : > Hello, > > I recently wrote a guide on how

Regarding available inexpensive x86 clients as an alternative to trying the RPi, I bought used HP dc7900 USDT's (ultra small desktop) for our lab via Ebay. It may not be a universal solution, but given that we had monitors, keyboards, and mice, it worked for us. These generally have Core 2 Duo proc

Many thanks to all who have replied to my question. I have finally managed to set up RPi as a thin client, it works quite smoothly.
