Hello,

I'm using squeeze with all three profiles (main + terminal server +
workstation).

Is this Lenny or Squeeze? 

Anyway, if you have a pure tjener-profile installed, you should not have 
kdm installed, unless you installed the tjener-profile and eiter 
workstation- or ltspserver-profile togeter with tjener.

But most imnportant, Lenny or Squeeze?

Hi,

it definitely never worked on first boot. I was thinking that on first
connection to the server (dhcp or nfs) something happens there (a script
is run or entries to dhcp leases) that has not finished when the client
tries to mount the nfs shares. I will install the netgroups plugin and
test another client added to the workstation hosts as soon as I have
some free time.

Thanks,
Volker

Hi,

sorry, I did not mention that I use squeeze where lwat is not installed
anymore. Also I didn't have the time to install the gosa netgroups
plugin but modified /etc/exports instead like Andreas suggested. Seemed
to be the easier way. I was just wondering why it doesn't work on first
boot but on second boot and seemingly not always.

Thanks,
Volker

I would expect that if you don't use the netgroups in /etc/exports
things should work. Also, if after reboot or 'sometimes' things work
fine is an indication that something else happens.  No idea what.  If
you can debug this further it would be great.

Best regards,

 Andi

kdm

2011-05-17 Thread Volker Cordes
Hello,

because kdm was mission on my installation dvd I installed it manually
(on tjener and in chroot for thinclients) and encountered the following
problem:

- a symlink is created in /etc/rc4.d to start kdm which breaks the thin
clients

I don't know if this is a bug but I thought I should mention it.

Thanks,
Volker

diskless workstation

2011-05-17 Thread Volker Cordes
Hello again,

today I changed our thin clients into diskless workstations by modifying
the pxelinux config. I ran into the following problem:

- At first boot /skole does not get mounted, therefore users cannot
start any desktop environment
- After reboot everything mostly works (on 1 out of 10 clients I had to
reboot again, then it worked). Is this behavior to be expected?
- On our 3 laptops (Acer Extensa 5635) users cannot logon, the systems
hangs after entering the password (xfce only shows waiting cursor, kde
splash screen displays only the harddisk icon), using the laptops as
thin clients works. Logon on a terminal works, home directory is mounted
correctly.

Do I have to register the clients somewhere? I changed /etc/exports to
allow mounts from 192.168.0.0/24 because I still haven't installed the
netgroups plugin.

Thanks
Volker
