I'm trying to install/configure a LTSP in CentOS 5.3
I have dhcp, nfs and tftp installed, but i can't install/configure XDMCP. I was reading some manuals and "hows to" and all says that, to configure XDMCP, i have to change de atribute "Enable = true" in the file "/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf", but i don't have this rute, only "/etc/X11/", gdm folder doesnt' appear :S also... why i can configure XDMCP?
I am trying to install and configure LTSP on a server for a HP thin client to boot off. The version of Ubuntu that I am using is 11.04 x86 and it is a fresh install on a dual core system with 2GB RAM. I followed a guide which comprised of these commands.
sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server sudo ltsp-build-client or if your on a 64-bit system with 32-bit machines do sudo ltsp-build-client arch i386 for editing the servers IP values use /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf after that you need to restart DHCP server sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart and update sshkeys -sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys and if you updated dhcpd.conf then you need to update you image also by typing in terminal ltsp-update-image
Everything seemed to install as it should but when I try to boot from the thin client it just times out and says no DHCP or proxy invites received. I turned DHCP off on the router and even tried another router, but I still get nothing. I am at a bit of a loose end and I hope someone on here can point me in the right direction of where I am going wrong.
I work in a school and we plan to upgrade acquire 50 computers for the Laboratories. Can someone led me the way to setup diskless windows xp using ltsp or any alternative?
Is the Ubuntu LTSP install still on the alternate CD as of Karmic? Or has it been moved (say, to the server CD)? Websites say it's on the alternate, but there's no way of knowing if they're up-to-date.
I installed in Virtualbox many times and the clients would not connect. The config of the dhcpd.conf was the problem.Now, Everywhere I kept reading it said I had to turn off my hardware routers dhcp. Thats wrong, I have it working with it on and with one network card. Heres the nuts and bolts. Dlink 4100 hardware router assigning address block 192.168.2.200-250 to pcs on the lan. Router is set to reserve and IP for the ltps server nic so it gets the same IP assigned every time from the hardware router. No need to force linux to an ip when it can be set in the router. Then installed LTSP from alt-cd. Once done, dhcp wont run because it conflicts with the hardware dhcp. Found out by trying to restart it and it said stop - Fail when it tried to stop it.
sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart So edit /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf. sudo gedit /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
Mine attached below: The subnet, as long as the 1st three numbers match the rest of lan setup it will work.(192.168.2.0), rest of my lan is 192.168.2.x. Now notice the range is a different block than the hardware dhcp server uses. So all thin clients that connect will be assigned something 192.168.2.100-150 and all hardware connected pcs will be assigned 192.168.2.200-250 from the hardware router. So no conflicts. Then for the domain name server, set it to the hardware router ip. My hardware router is 192.168.2.2. Set option router to the same as hardware router of 192.168.2.2 Nothing in my dhcpd.conf file is pointing to the ltsp dhcp server. Nothing else had to be edited in the dhcpd.conf Next hurdle I had, after any change of the dhcpd.conf, ip's might have changed and you have to reconfig the ssh and the image. run these 2 commands.
sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys then sudo ltsp-upadte-image then sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
Then thin clients/lan boot pcs all can connect after that.
I have since installed again at work in virtual box, booted from another vbox client and booted from a separate lan pc. Then installed again at home on AMD 3200 Athlon, 1 gig mem. Booted from my main pc PhenomX4, no problems. Pc's must have lan boot available in the bios or net boot available on the network card(most consumer add on cards do not). But most motherboard lan connection do.
I want to been able to connect remotely via RDP protocol with a client (for example from work to house) and I found that I can use [URL... What packages I need to install, and how I configure it? I connect my laptop via wireless throught eth2.
In internets there are lot of successless stories installing ltsp on ubuntu 10.04. Most problems are in ndb, init scripts and somewhere else, which are hardly debuggable. It seems like ubuntu 10.04 has ltsp packages completely broken and abandoned. Have someone succeeded to install ltsp on 10.04 without hard brainfucking? Maybe it's better to install ltsp from scratch, or choose another distribution?
how to get USB disks/sticks to mount on the clients. Is there something with some configfile that needs to be enabled or in the setup of the default image?
Cannot even move files from the USB drive via the servers USB as it is virtual one on a ESXi host.
the school starts on monday (8 hours) and there is about 10GB files that need to put in place before that.
PS. OpenSuse 11.3 all patched with minimum XFCE desktop on the server. easy-ltsp install via 1-click install on the opensuse/kiwi-ltsp page. Server + 20 clients Everything else functions properly but no CD or USB on clients
When I run the command << kiwi-ltsp-setup -n >> the process gets to the point where it starts "Retrieving repository 'http:__download.opensuse.org_update_11.3' metadata" What do I change so that it will read from my local update repository. The local update repository is already listed in my yast repositories while the ttp:__download.opensuse.org_update_11.3 is not.
I am trying to install PDFedit however after un-zipping and running configure at the end i get this message:checking whether we want to prepare pdfedit-core-dev package... no checking whether we want to build PDFedit gui... yes configure: error: QTDIR environment variable must be set
I have an Acer Aspire One, Model PAV70 that had Windows 7 Starter on it. I booted Ubuntu 10.10 from a USB HDD and then formatted the Acer drive with Ubuntu. I then started installing Ubuntu on the newly formatted HDD and got an error near the end of the install. It said, "apt configuration problem, an attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the cd failed." After this happened the system locked up and I had to reboot. Now I get a black screen with a white blinking cursor. I can't get the system to recognize anything. What can I do?

I tried to search the internet to find out the documentation for setting up rsh on my opensuse 11.1 but was unable to find one. So i 'm posting this to help others. I know it is preferrable to use ssh instead of rsh but oracle requires use of rsh. So please dont get back to me saying "use ssh".Note to moderator: I tried to add this to "how to" section but in vain due to "no permissions error".
I've read a few other threads about installing tarballs and just about all of them mention running the ./configure script. BTW, I'm working on a machine without internet connection and I'm using karmic. I successfully extracted the contents of the tarball and a directory of those contents was created. I navigated into that directory and tried "sudo ./configure" as per some instructions I found on the net, but the result was "bash:./configure: no such file or directory".
I get this same error message when I try "./configure --help | less" Is "./configure" something that is meant to come as part of the OS or do I need to install that separately too!?! when I try to create a keyboard short cut for opening a terminal by using the "keyboard shortcuts" option in system > preferences the setting lists it as "disabled". Is there some way for enabling? I know how to get to a complete screen terminal by using ctrl+alt+f2 but I also want a shortcut for other terminal box which is accessible via the applications area.
I've been running denyhosts on Ubuntu 8.04 servers without any problems using the how-to found hereow that I have a new Ubuntu 10.04 server running, I thought I would just install denyhosts from the Ubuntu repository not realizing that the paths and filenames of the install are different from the how-to I am used to using.I figured out what the name of the new denyhosts config file is (at least new to me) and the new location, but I'm not sure about the "allowed-hosts" config file.Does anybody know where the new path for this file is and whether the filename is still the same?
I installed in ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop yesterday i needed windows and had to install it so right no am unable to boot in ubuntu without my live cd when i was installing ubuntu eather unchaked to install the bootloader or i installed it not on partition but starit on the drive on the /sda am able to boot in my ubuntu with the live cd by typing in parameter :grub. i really need grub boot loader in this computer to be able to chose to boot in windows or ubuntu i tried couple of instructions and always goat some headache.
After installation of the new hardware I activated the ATI closed source driver. There is an issue with the screens 1st screen, via DVI: I cannot change to the native screen resolution 2nd screen, via VGA: The background of any window is not drawn. Means: I can see lots of parts of other windows after moving or closing them.
Therefore I was searching for an alternative and found the hint to uninstall the ATI driver and use the open source one. After uninstall and reboot (requested by a parallel system update), some boot messages I have no screen output anymore. Means: two black screens. These are going into sleep mode after a few seconds. How can I get a running system again? Optimal would be, that I have full support for both screens. Same happens in failsave mode.

This is apparently a long standing problem across all Linux distros for some time now, and various posted solutions may be distro and version specific.Am hoping that someone can post a solution that should work for OpenSuSE, and if necessary for each currently supported version.What is lastb?lastb is the "bad logon" corollary to the working "last" that reads successful logons to the file /var/log/wtmp. At the moment I haven't checked but the OpenSuSE Forum post I listed below suggests that failed ssh logons may be logged to btmp, but no local terminal failures are and it's unclear if any other types of failed logons are supported.
Some relevant links I've foundThe only relevant OpenSuSE Forums post I've foundThe only relevant Novell Forums post I've foundA RH List postWhat I've triedHave created /var/log/btmp and /var/log/ftmp files and applied permissions copying from the wtmp file as described in the Novell Forum post and verified permissions are applied. On my machine (11.3), the wtmp default group permission is "tty."Then, after verifying that lastb can find and read the btmp and ftmp files, from a console executed failed "su root" commands (wrong password) to try to generate a failed logon entry which I expect should be logged into either btmp or ftmp.Result is that nothing is written to either btmp or ftmp. According to many references on the Internet, typically ( ) systems should be automatically configured to write at least some bad logon types to either btmp or ftmp when the files exist.
In this blog post I explain how to use "Install/Remove Software" to configure your repositories, which repositories you'll want to add, how to configure their priority, and updating your system with the correct versions. Musing Allowed: OpenSUSE 11.4: Repositories
I may eventually transfer some of this to the opensuse website, but I never expected it to take several days just to write this one blog post so it probably won't be soon. Still, I hope that it's helpful to opensuse 11.4 users and I wrote the post so that it was targeted to regular users primarily but also for those looking to see how the repositories have changed with the update to 11.4.

I'm trying to setup puppet to install and configure apache on several servers. Having found: [URL] I thought I was onto something. However I'm a little lost, does anyone know of or can anyone write a small howto on how to get this module working on certain nodes. My current state is puppet is running and connected to the puppetmaster. I can do simple things but the apache install have lost me a little.
