Re: ltsp in debian

Hi Antoine,

thanks for that input, it is just what I thought would be the reason.

Well, this is Suse here, but the problem seems to be the same. At least 
good to know why...

If I only knew how... I've discussed this topic with several folks in 
forums, but they didn't (want to?) understand the difference between 
compiling a kernel and making a configuration for LTSP. Sure, it's 
simple to switch certain things on and off, but making a new, compact 
kernel is something different.

Yep! I could see that it searches for a second network port for example, 
and lots of things which are simply superfluous.

Ok... so a plain 32bit kernel would do, right? After all, it's running 
smoothly with LTSP 4.2 kernels...

Oh, that would be great! Thanks in advance for your help! Maybe you can 
point me to some instruction that goes through the necessary steps.

new PoE HP hardware

Anybody looked at this?

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/hp-t410-smart-zero-client-poe/

13W (includes display) PoE. ARM-based CPU, includes MS's RemoteFX.
Very tempting for us in an all-RDP environment, but I would be very
loathe to give up the reliability and central management of our
existing LTSP network.

We picked up a couple of HP's ARM-based t5325 and found HP's included
OS lacking, and without any simple way of LTSPifying them, never
deployed them. I'd be equally reticent of this new t410, despite what
looks like a good idea on paper.

Thoughts?

Does LTSP on Ubuntu 12.04 default to fat clients?

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, and my clients are booting as fat
clients, but not because I requested that.  I tried rebuilding the
image (as in, not using the

I set things up the same way I did for LTSP in 11.10.  Did something change?

List of available sessions in ldm.

I have an ldm server (Ubuntu 12.04) and 2 interactive servers: one in
Ubuntu 10.04 and one in 12.04; gnome, kde, xfce are installed on both.

On the terminals, I can see a long list of available sessions, which
does not seem to be coherent with the really available sessions in both
interactive servers.

My question is: how is this list of available sessions computed ?

Yours
t.d.

Monitor with pivot function

(I'm re-posting this, as it seems the list had been dead since last 
Friday and has awakened only now)

Hi folks,

Is it possible to configure the xorg functions for a thin client so it
can tilt the picture for a pivot monitor?

If yes, would this even be possible in 4.2?

Thanks for your comments.

Rolf

Testing -- please ignore

Dear list,

I have resubscribed to ltsp-discuss since my previous posts were not
delivered. This is to try if it works.

Sorry for the noise,
