Except, that wouldn't explain why some terminals could get a connection 
to the font server and others couldn't.

no-listen is an all or nothing thing.

I am renovating a LTSP system we have installed.

The KDM on the server is configured, and loading knoppix on a pc and running
X -query servername is fine.

I have tftp & nfs installed, and the Rom-o-matic boot rom for the 3c905b
card on disk, etherboot 5.2.4.

if I install ltsp 3 to /opt/ltsp/i386, the terminal boots.

if I install ltsp 4 however, the terminal starts, tftp downloads the kernel,
the root mount is nfs mounted etc,
X11 starts, but the terminal freezes just before the kdm logon screen
appears. Background screen colour changes, and
the mouse pointer changes to the one set on the server, but no login.

Once the terminal has crashed even the num lock key etc does not respond.

/var/log/messages shows two entries from the terminal

syslogd started: BusyBox v0.60.4 (2003.12.16-08:09+0000)
init: Entering runlevel: 5

I have followed instructions on http://www.ltsp.org/ltsp-4-errata.html and
updated the build_x3_cfg script.

I now see the outline of the login box before the machine freezes.

What could be going wrong?

terminal is a P120, with 48Meg of memory, (They are Apricot MS540`s) Server
is a 1.7Ghz Athlon with 1Gb memory.
Running Suse 9.1.

well, that is so true, the script is for opening multitiff files, and
believe me explaining the user the correct way to use it is so annoying,
they simply refuse to save the attachment, execute the program and open
the file... so just looking for simple things to them....

1) Boy do I *really* hope this is not possible to do! Allowing users to
be able to execute programs attached to emails by simply clicking on
them is one of the reasons why Windows is such a mess.

   Training users that it is OK to do this is a *really*, *really* bad
idea.


2) Is there a reason you don't want to puch an icon to the user's
desktop to run the script? The email could say "click on that new icon."

hi everyone, i need to make an script so i can execute a program in a 
different server (non the ltsp one), but i need to execute from 
thunderbird, double clicking the attachment, i made a REALLY SIMPLE ONE 
(ssh anotherserver program) but when i doubleclick on the attachment 
nothing happens.. so i don't know what to do, obviously i now nothing 
about scripts so any help would be welcome

Martin,

Try grabbing the ltsp_kernel-3.0.15 package from the ltsp.org download 
page.

Install that, and change the 'filename' entry in your dhcpd.conf file
to point to '/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.24-ltsp-4', instead of vmlinuz.ltsp.

Give that a try, and see if it boots properly on your thing client.

You say you tried 'option-129 "mem=32M"', but did you also include
an option-128 line, with the special value of 'e4:45:74:68:00:00' ?

Without that value in option-128, then option-129 will be completely 
ignored.

Also, setting NFS-Swap at this point is useless.  Your kernel hasn't 
gotten far enough to do anything with nfs swap.

Which etherboot version do you use? As you have mknbi-1.4.0-made image
(recent LTSP images should be mknbi-1.4.0-made, so you most probably have
just one of them), you should try etherboot 5.2.x (5.2.4 for example). I
guess you have 5.0.8 or prior currently?

Anselm

Ladies and Gentlemen, Greetings and Felicitations!

I'm converting our final classroom from W98 to LTSP.
The machines are all 32MB Pentium 2x133 wih Realtek NICS.
When the client boots, I get

Loading 10.121.128.3:/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp ...(NBI)... ...
... (heaps of dots) ...done
mkbi-1.4.0/first32,c (GPL)
Top of ramdisk is 0X01FE0000
Ramdisk at 0X01EF8000, size 0X0000E8000

and the client sits like a stunned mullet.
Searching the mailing list archives says to try USE_NFS_SWAP = Y
in the lts.conf file; did that - no difference.
Another offerring is to try option option-129 "mem=32M" in dhcpd.conf;
did that and still no difference.

I'm now stuck as I haven't seen a client hang here before.
Any ideas much appreciated, but we cannot change the client h/ware
config (eg add more memory)

Thanks in anticipation

Hi

I have a working ltsp3 setup on a RH9 server.

mtools-3.9.8-7


When I downloaded and installed the ltsp-floppyd rpm, made the specified 
~/.mtoolsrc file and put RCFILE_01 = floppyd in the lts config, the 
workstation is loading

normally until the display says

Using [...]/floppy.o
Floppy is 1.44M


then nothing happens, and there is nothing special in the /var/log/messages

Where can I look for help / debug this?

sincerely,

- ars longa, vita brevis -
    Arno Teigseth

Hello all,
	How can the X server, which runs on the client, be changed?  I can see that 
there are only some of the files present in the /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6 
directory (i.e. only part of the XFree86 distribution is installed), but how 
do I know what to install if I am upgrading?  Also, what about the 
configuration files?  (/etc/X11/ seems to be different than usual)  And how 
can I change settings for the Xserver (for example, enable backing store or 
change to 32 bit color), when the XF86Config file is built each time the 
thin-client boots?s.


Thanks.

change this line in system-auth:

> account     [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore system_err=ignore] /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so

to this:

account     [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore
service_err=ignore system_err=ignore authinfo_unavail=ignore]
/lib/security/pam_ldap.so


and you should be set.  from what i understand this is an oversight by
redhat, with the additions, it will ignore ldap if it isnt available
and look in the files.

We're testing LTSP 4 at one of our offices.  Right now the only client
is a Gateway laptop booting up with bootp.  I keep getting calls from
the user of the laptop that his screen has locked up.  This is usually
after he's left it alone for several hours.  I was out there yesterday
and xscreensaver ran for an hour with no problems.  I have turned off
every power savings feature in the laptops BIOS.  So either LTSP is
disconnecting the laptop at some point or the laptop has built-in power
savings (aka suspend mode) that is not accessible through the BIOS.

XFS has limits on how many clients can connect.
Take a look at /etc/X11/fs/config, and bump up those limits, if
it's not high enough.

That's one thing to check, anyway.

We've got a setup with about 40 terminals running LTSP.  We've been 
running on LTSP-3, but are now setting up a new replacement server with 
LTSP-4.  We've got the new one set up enough so that some of our 
workstations boot and run from it just fine.  However, some terminals 
that work with our old server don't work with the new one.  Some can't 
seem to get working X drivers, and some report xfs problems, with 
XFree86 reporting "Could not init font path element 
tcp/192.168.6.220:7100" and then exiting with error: "Could not open 
defauled font 'fixed'." None of our Ati Rage terminals have these 
problem, only the non-Ati. Netstat shows that xfs is listening to 7100. 
The Ati Rage-based terminals seem to have no problems getting their fonts.

Set #1:

Our Laptops with Trident Cyberblade Ai1 do not autodetect. With our 
globally-defined 'XSERVER = auto', we get:

Scanning for video card
    
    ERROR: Auto probe of the video card failed !
        You need to specify the proper X server in lts.conf

When you do specify the server via 'XSERVER=trident' in lts.conf, if 
reports an xfs failure and stops loading X with the following error: 
"Could not init font path element tcp/192.168.6.220:7100

Set #2

Our terminals with Matrox Millenium G400 cards do not auto-detect. They 
are listed in the XF86 docs as the 'mga' driver.   When it is not 
specified, you get:    

    ERROR: Auto probe of the video card failed !
           You need to specify the proper X server in lts.conf

The file "mga_drv.o" is present in 
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/, but X seems to be looking 
for a file called "mga_hal".  When you do specify 'XSERVER = mga', X 
exits with: "Could not find module 'mga_hal' (module does not exist, 0)" 
and then the xfs failure error as in #1.

Set #3

Our SiS 530 terminals do properly auto-detect, but fail with the following:

Symbol drmFreeVersion from module 
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved.
Symbol drmCommandWrite from module 
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved.
Symbol drmFreeVersion from module 
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved.
Symbol drmGetVersion from module 
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sis_drv.o is unresolved.

And then the same xfs error: "Could not init font path element 
tcp/192.168.6.220:7100

Again, all these machines worked fine with LTSP-3.  Is there something 
easy that we're doing wrong?  If not, how can we fix these issues?  
Please help!

Folks,

  I am adding a mailserver to an existing K12LTSP setup, and
  adding LDAP auth so my mailserver can do the right thing.

  It is all redhat-based - FC1 for the K12LTSP server, and
  whitebox (RHEL) for the mailserver.

  Everything works.

  The server authenticates against /etc/passwd or LDAP.

  My problem is that the server will NOT authenticate using
  /etc/passwd if the LDAP server is not accessible - gdm
  complains about not being able to set up the account -
  even though the accounts in question are not in LDAP.

  Relaxing the account entries in /etc/pam.d/system-auth moves
  things on a bit further - I get logged in - but the desktops
  are not correct.

  /etc/nsswitch.conf carries the edits done by authconfig -

passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap

  /etc/pam.d/system-auth has the following :-

#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

account     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
account     [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore system_err=ignore] /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so

session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
session     optional      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so

  Help ?

  What is gdm looking for ?

Cheers,    Andy!

Check your firewall settings and make sure you're not blocking the 
return traffic to the clients. Drop your firewall for testing purposes 
if you can. You can shut it off in the Security Settings applet.

On IRC, jamm suggested that I ask you to explain how the remote device

So, uh, how does it work?

Hello Perazim

I have the exact same problem!! I reported it a few hours ago.

Let me know if you find out what's wrong!

Upgraded from Lts 3.0 to 4.0 and from RH9 to FC2. Now the Lts client
does not connect to the root filesystem:

dhcp OK
tftp OK
Kernel Boots OK
Mounting root filesystem: /opt/ltsp/i386, from: 192.168.107.254
nfs: server 192.168.107.254 not responding, still trying

I have applied the FC2 updates available including the new kernel
(2.6.6-1.435). I have also checked the ltsp configuration for the usual
problems. The system log on the server does show a nfs connect from the
client but the client doesn't see it.

Anybody experience this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Brian,

my humblest thanks ;-). I am trying to download LTSP 4 at the moment. Will
setup server and then give you a shout via email.

Again, many thanks,

Johnathan -
 The HP t5500 will boot LTSP via PXE. In the system BIOS there is a
configuration setting for the boot order, I believe you set this to
Network - PXE. Note there is also a network setting without PXE. If you
choose this it will not work. With this in place it will ignore the
internal RAM disk and it's unpleasant Windows CE OS and happily run as a
very nice LTSP client.
 If you can't find the right BIOS settings, contact me and I will go
reboot one of the ones I'm running and get the exact names of the
settings you need to change. I don't have one in front of me at the moment.

Hello!

I'm having trouble getting my client working as it should.

My client is called whyz-x, and it downloads the kernel and all as it
should, but it all ends with:

Mounting root filesystem: /opt/ltsp/i386 from: 130.236.156.89
nfs: server 130.236.156.89 not responding, still trying

After this message nothing happens.

This is what a tail of /var/log/messages on the server (g89) tells me:

Jun 29 01:38:53 g89 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:65:de:ef via eth0

the last line indicates nothing wrong at all as i see it.
Should i see more messages?

showmount:
root@g89:~# showmount -a
All mount points on g89:
whyz-x:/opt/ltsp/i386

lsmod:

sunrpc                132964  -
8139cp                 16960  -




The systems both have 8139too NICs
I've tried having the two computers on a hub of their own, but still get the
same error.

I'm using ltsp 4 and kernel vmlinuz-2.4.24-ltsp-4 for the client to
download.
The server is running linux 2.6.6, slackware 9.1.

I've tried with different kernels for the client, i've tried building the
server nfsd support into the kernel and as modules, both with nfs3 and nfs4
support..


Any help welcome or ideas!

Hello,

The Knoppix Terminal Service is just part of Knoppix.

Knoppix is available at:
http://www.knoppix.com/

After booting from the Knoppix CD, you will find the 'Terminal Services'
icon under the 'Knoppix' (or similarly named) menu.

Hello,

The Knoppix Terminal Service program is not LTSP.

That said, I have gotten it to work my my HP T5500. I basically just
clicked through the Knoppix wizard with the defaults. The only two things
that tripped me up were:
1) Be sure to include the VIA network card module when the wizard asks you
about modules.
2) Be sure there are no other tftp or conflicting DHCP servers on your
network. I had to disable the DHCP service on my home router for this.

Oddly enough, my HP T5500 works fantastiscally with the Knoppix Terminal
Services. I can't say the same for LTSP.

Some things I still haven't gotten to work with LTSP and the T5500 are:
Logitech wireless mouse
Sound
ACPI

> I'm trying to boot some HP T5300 thin clients (VIA Rhine II Fast
Ethernet NICs) using a Knoppix CD (05-17-04) for the server. I've
managed to get the server running, but the clients report no DHCP
server. I've not used LTSP much, so I'm not exactly sure what is the
problem. Has anyone booted one of these HP T5000-series thin clients?
