Updates now available for LTSP-4.2

The following updates are now available:

  o  ltspcfg version 0.16 (part of ltsp-utils-0.25)
     - Added the proper location for the kdmrc file for
       Kubuntu-breezy.
     - Added 'ddns-update-style' line in dhcpd.conf.sample, for FC5.
     - Fixed configuration of kdm and gdm for many distros, including
       Ubuntu Breezy & Dapper and Fedora Core 5.
     - Fixed 'Enable' detection of Xdmcp for kdm.

  o  vidlist
     - Added several i810 entries for proper auto-detection of
       i810 chipsets.
     - Added several nv entries for proper auto-detection of
       nvidia chipsets.

  o  startx
     - Changed behaviour of the 'XRAMPERC' option to default
       to 100.  Also, if it is set to 100, then it won't do
       the 'ulimit' command.  This was causing problems with
       i810 chipsets on 64mb or lower machines.

  o  Linux kernel 2.6.16.1-ltsp-2
     - Added sis7019 audio driver.
     - Removed savage framebuffer driver. This caused problems
       for Xorg.
     - Fixed problem with booting the kernel on Jammin-125
       workstations.

LTSP-4.2 Now available

Hello all,

It is with great pleasure that we are announcing the release of LTSP-4.2.

This is the release with the awesome local device support, and lots of
other cool new features.

Take a look at http://www.ltsp.org for more details.

I'd like to take this time to thank everybody who helped out on this
release, and an extra special thank you to Scott Balneaves for his truly
magnificent work on ltspfs and the local device support.

So, go ahead, read the docs, install the new version, and have fun with it.

We've been showing it at Linux World in Boston, and the reaction have been
very good.  This is one of those things that demos very well, and on top
of that, it WORKS very well.

Thanks,
Jim McQuillan

LinuxWorld - Sanfran - 2005

Hello all,

It's my pleasure to announce once again that LTSP.org will have
a booth at Linux World in San Francisco, the week of Aug 8th 2005.

As I've done in the past, I'll send out a call for volunteers a bit
later, as I put the details together.  Right now, i'm just giving
everybody an early heads-up that we'll be doing the booth thing once
again.

If you are interested in helping out at the booth, for a few hours or a
few days, then stay tuned for future announcements about this.

Thanks,
Jim McQuillan

LTSP 4.1 beta update

We are fast approaching the release of LTSP-4.1 final.  (Can you say 
Wednesday, Aug 4th) 

In preparation for that, we've been squashing lots of little bugs, and 
cleaning things up quite a bit.  We've still got a bit to do, but things
are really looking good.

Here's a quick list of the changes since the last update:

  o fixed path bug in telnet_loop script

  o getltscfg, added ability to specify 'NONE' for a paramter.
    This will allow you to set things in the [default] section, and
    then turn off certain things in the specify [wsXXX] section of
    lts.conf.

  o Added the cx5530 sound driver to the kernel modules package. This is
    needed for the Jammin-125

  o Fixed the geode X driver that is needed for the Jammin-125.

  o Added the aumix package for the sound system.

  o Modifications to the startx screen screen script to all multiple 
    instances.  (Simultaneous sessions)

  o Updated rdesktop package from 1.2 to 1.3.1, and fixed the rdesktop
    screen script to allow more than one instance on a terminal.
    Also added the ability to pass parameters to rdesktop by specifying
    them on the SCREEN_XX line.  For example:

Updates to LTSP-4.1 Beta 1

LTSP-4.1 beta 1 is going really well.   We've been squishing lots of 
bugs, and things are looking good.

Among the bug-fixes/enhancements are:

 o Updated the niclist in the initrd (part of the kernel pkg).
   Somehow, the niclist in the first ltsp-4.1 kernel package was
   really old.

 o Created a kernel modules package.

 o Fixed the rdesktop screen_script. It was looking for XFree86 instead
   of the newer Xorg binary.

 o USB Mice and Keyboards should now be automatically detected and used.
   No additional entries in lts.conf should be needed.

 o Applied patch from Eric Harrison, so that if the video chipset can't
   be auto-detected, a warning will be displayed, but then the 'vesa'
   Xserver will be used.

 o Additional video chipsets added to the vidlist, for video chipset
   autodetection.

 o Fixed the kernel panic problem when booting with Etherboot.
   A wrong value was being passed to the kernel for the root fs,
   which caused /linuxrc to be run twice. The 2nd time would fail
   because dhcpcd was already running.

If you are running LTSP-4.1 Beta 1, then updating is really simple.

New LTSP kernel package now available

Hello all,

I've built a new LTSP kernel package based on the 2.4.22 Linux Kernel.

Of notable interest in this new package is full support for PXE booting.

Take a look at http://www.ltsp.org/README.pxe for more information
about setting up the PXE booting.

Of course, the package still works great with Etherboot bootroms
as well.

Visit http://www.ltsp.org/instructions-3.0.html to download the
new package.

Thanks,

Jim McQuillan
