Re: RE: NX Project Announcement

I agree that it is nice to have a windows based X-Windows client like Cygwin 
and it works great for situations that still require windows. I use Cygwin on 
my home network and I access my home LTSP server via remote Xsession from 
linux. Both work, but the session is fastest when running from a LTSP boot 
floppy!

Blank Screen where Login Screen should be.

Setting up another LTSP workstation.  This one is an IBM Netfinity 3500.
When it boots, it receives the correct IP from DHCP and scrolls through
several screens worth very quickly.  Then the screen clears in anticipation
of the login screen but just sits there blank (gray, no X)

Background:
Disabled the onboard NIC and added a Linksys LNE100TX (the same as all the
others).  
Disabled the SCSI drive.
Installed a IDE drive with RH8.0 for thick stuff.
It boots from the floppy first.
I am using the same (tested) floppy from another LTSP client.
Used the same NIC (MAC address) from another successful ws.

Any ideas where to start looking.

Thanks, George

George,
  Are you possibly driving the monitor past its signal range?

  Perhaps try starting in runlevel 3 then starting X manually then kill X (CTRL+ALT+BKSP) see what it says...

Re: Blank Screen where Login Screen should be.

Maybe there are multiple resolutions defined - if so <crtl><alt>- or +
might bring up a better combination.

Re: NX Project Announcement

Gian,

I've been watching the reactions to the announcement of
your NX project.  Basically, I was refraining from commenting,
until I had a chance to check it out, and also I wanted to
see what others on the list thought of it.

There were some nay-sayers in the bunch, but I expected that.

I'm not so worried about the fact that you have plans for
a commercial product utilizing your technology.  The fact that
the technology is free is a very good thing.

I think at this point, i'm very impressed with what you
guys have done, and I'd like to push forward with a plan
to collaborate on integrating some of your technology into
the LTSP, to provide a seemless method of deploying low bandwidth
X windows.

What I'd like to suggest is that we meet on the #ltsp IRC 
channel at some scheduled time, and discuss the technology,
and see if we can figure out a way to work together.

Please let me know what time would work best for you, and we'll
see if we can get something going.

Thank you,

Jim McQuillan

Your site is unwilling to send a test userid and password to my email
address. Maybe it doesn't like Sourceforge forwarding addresses? Anyone
else had this problem?

using ltsp on workstations with disks

Hi all

Could u please point me in the right direction - I have several 
functional 486 pc's and would like to know if there are instructions to 
set up ltsp via hard disk instead via a boot-nwc(already have ordinary 
nwc's)?  For various reasons, it would be convenient for me to set up a 
lan in this way - want to set up terminal services for internet access 
and openoffice.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Sudhashen

If there is dos on the hard drives, then download a dos etherboot image from
http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ and call it up from the Autoexec.bat.
