the -standalone part refers mainly to the dhcp setup (when we used to use nfs it also set up the nfs server which is not needed anymore with the switch to nbd) it means that the server can boot clients standalone without the additional need of dhcp tftp or nbd servers in your network (while ltsp-server only installs the core parts and doesnt set up anything, leaving everything to the admin to offer the biggest flexibility)
xbase-clients provides the scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession(.d) without which the LTSP display manager would not start on the clients ... note that an ltsp environment *only* installs a boot environment for thin clients and a login manager, desktop sessions run by default on a central server. you will not have much fun without installing ubuntu- desktop (or any other desktop env) on one of the server machines in your network and at least pointing LDM_SERVER to it in your lts.conf. the server does not need to run X but you needs to have a desktop installed somewhere since this is the place your user sessions run from. -- ltsp-server-standalone missing a dependency on xterm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441287 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
