[Bug 107526] Re: rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck
An ideal situation, although probably not to friendly on thin client usage, would be a program that possibly runs from a ramdisk when the connection to the server has been severed. Something that would display something similar to "Terminal server unavailable, system will shut down if no connection can be established in 1 hour." If the server connection is re-established (perhaps it rebooted), LDM can be restarted. If the server is unavailable for a certain amount of time, the systems could shut down, reboot or switch to an alternate server depending on how they were configured. -- rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

When using XDMCP, rather than LDM/X Forwarding, clients handle this more gracefully. The client goes to a blank screen with an X cursor, and seems to wait until the server comes back up. At that point it brings up the GDM login screen. -- rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 107526] Re: rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck
Although (in Hardy) ltsp clients seems to survive a server reboot (including the running gnome-sessions and applications), the ltsp-client root behaves odd after the reboot. We've seen random hanging ltsp- clients, no access to terminal 1 etc. I guess this makes it an issue for nbd. -- rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 107526] Re: rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck
Not sure how difficult this would be, but why not emulate the "good old TTY days" and send a broadcast message to all TCs, something like "Message: Server is going down NOW!", followed by a forced logout to LDM prompt.. ? Since LDM, according to Roland anyway, can survive a server reboot, kicking the clients back to a login prompt would be a good thing, to avoid having to reboot, say, a hundred thin-clients. Another idea, maybe a hook on the server to warn the admin: "WARNING: XX number of client sessions are active - continue?"...Oh, oh, and what about some "shutdown" style options, maybe "Halt/reboot in X seconds/minutes"... shouldn't be difficult since the functionality already exists in the shutdown command, and LTSP setups really do sort of emulate the days in which this functionality was useful... -- rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 107526] Re: rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck
out of pure evilness, I found out that most of the times (in my environment) the clients survived a server reboot as long as they where at the login prompt. I know this may not be 100% expected and that this neither may be the intended way of doing things.

[Bug 107526] Re: rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck
the proper solution would likely be that the client shuts down properly as well *before* the server is gone ... we could achieve that by having an ltsp-server initscript that is run on server shutdown and some yet to be specced and designed function that can shut down the clients remotely. marking that bug as whishlist so we can workout a spec for that at next UDS. ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 107526] Re: rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck
Well, a thin client relies on the server completely, for it's X session, file system, logging, etc. If you reboot the server, one can expect bad things on the client. I suppose the real question is: what do you WANT the expected behaviour to be? ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Scott Balneaves Status: New => Confirmed -- rebooting ltsp server leaves client stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
