With NFS I still get the same blue screen and with NBD something times out. Can't tell exactly what though? The nbd image fati386.img has grown to 1 Gig+. Could that be an issue? Any clue where to look ? Or may be I should do a complete re-hash of the system as if it works for even one it

Its normal for a highfat nbd image to be gigs+ I think your issue is really to do with it not finding the correct ips to implement for nfs, pulse, and cups. Can u take a look at the logs and see waht could be timing out the nbd setup. Also.. take out quiet and splash from

Hi Ernesto, I am trying to set-up a mixed thin-client and fat-client LTSP server on Ubuntu 8.10. The thin-client part is working absolutely fine. The fat-client part just doesn't boot beyond dhcp and successfully getting an IP. I have set-up the 'fat' part following

Hi there... u should really be using the ltsp fatclient plugin, downloadable from my site (www.nubae.com.) As u will have read from other users, the plugin works great and I've been using it on multimedia systems for over 6 months without issues. Email me if u get stuck... Kind regards, David

Hey David, From all the reviews and by your word, I'm convinced about the fatclient plugin but am held up due to ldap authentication. Can I authenticate against ldap using the fatclient plugin? I mean, does the usual ldap-client config work with this as well. Thanks Regards, Shrenik David Van

Hi Ernesto, I don't have access to the test environment right now. However, I do remember following this sequence all the time. Was not mounting sys religiously though. Once more thing - It is booting fine for me using nfs instead of nbd. With nbd it just doesn't boot. Since you are using

David, the fatclient script also assumes that there are 2 NICs in the system. Isn't it? Shouldn't its presence be ascertained before attempting the nfs mount and the cups printer entry. What if we have only one interface on the server? Regards, SB Shrenik Bhura wrote: Hey David, From all

Thanks James actually I cannot have read/write with NBD LTSP images because those are made with mksquashfs and squashfs is read-only by design. I could have read/write access to a ext3 image over NBD perfectly. The question is how to config that, maybe in the /etc/default/ltsp-client-setup

Hi Ernesto, Ltsp exports squashfs image over NBD so you can't mount it readonly. What you have to do is ext3 NBD image and then tweak initrd scripts to mount ext3 instead of squashfs. Unfortunally I don't know the details for ubuntu, but from my experience, initrd scripts are not very easy to
