Hi, I’ve set up a more complex environment, a mixed DHCP-Proxy and FAT-Client.
Due to „official“ constraints our LTSP server could not be a DHCP-Server, it has to be a DHCP-Proxy. So I installed the common LTSP server with 10.10-Ubuntu-Alternate-CD a some days ago, disabled the dhcp3 server and enabled the DNSMasq using this HowTo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP Subsequently I installed the FAT-Client-Chroot using this HowTo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients But I have still the following issues in it. 1. The clients are able to get their IP from the DHCP server and their pxe image from the LTSP-Sever and to boot the kernel and init via NBD. But the cannot start the LDM. (a few times it ends in busybox, but this might be another problem). This can be circumvented by removing the autoconf=dhcp option in the pxelinux.cfg/default and the LDM come up and it is possible to login. 2. The second one that might be related, is the internet connectivity in the client. After user login the clients have their correct IPs, but no internet acces, So I’ve inserted the DNS server and the search domain in my lts.conf (which is in the TFTP tree). It does not solves the problem, but i recognized that the client has no route to the gateway x.x.x.254. If I add a route as root with „ ip route add x.x.x.254“ manually, the client has regular internet access. I’ve tried to work around the problem by placing a script which calls the route in /etc/init.d in the chroot enviromnet, update the image and enable the script in the lts.conf via RCFILE_01=/etc/init.d/gateway. Unfortunetly it seems that it isn’t invoked during client. Hope anybody can help me. P.S. One last question: Does the lts.conf effects fat-clients at all? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
