Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP-PNP on Lubuntu: Chromium ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED

2012-11-10 Thread Philip Loewen
Is Chromium the only thin-client application making trouble? If you open a terminal window on the thin-client (not the server), do you get any response from ping 8.8.8.8? If not, then the problem is a general networking issue and the following link may be of interest:

NAT works for me under Ubuntu 12.04, and I'll gladly share what I know. Interventions from experts with more knowledge and/or confidence would still be welcome. It may be helpful to split the problem into two steps. First is getting NAT to work at all, and connecting a thin client to the

2012-06-13 Thread Philip Loewen
This week I broke the sound system on my home LTSP network. Can anyone suggest repairs? Ubuntu LTSP relies on pulseaudio, which is not running on either the server or the thin clients (TCs). Trying pulseaudio -v on the TC gives lots of lines: here are ones describing errors, with a few lines

LTSP is really super. I have a multi-user setup in my house, installed just days ago, and there is just one issue between me and thin client perfection. The fonts and pictures on my thin client are not as sharp under LTSP as when the client hardware is just running its own copy of Linux. Can
