SV: School-linux in Norway - problem with videocard

Thanks!

I will try solution 2, but how do I install a new driver on the thinclient
server without messing up for all the other thinclients?

Is there an easy way to install the driver on the server?

Olaf,
   1) I believe these should use the i810 driver.

   2) I have had trouble with Dell Optiplex machines because the default 
BIOS setting for the video card memory was set to 1Mb. Setting it to 8Mb 
solved the trouble.

Re: SV: School-linux in Norway - problem with videocard

This goes in lts.conf :

[pxe002]
          XSERVER = i810

replacing pxe002 with the name of your client. This will force the driver
to be i810, though if your set up is like one I did the other day, the
chipset is being correctly detected but the driver doesn't work. An
upgrade to the newest LTSP will sorted it out for me, the kernel
(2.6.16.1-ltsp-2) and xorg modules being replaced as a result.

UK schools need LTSP

Hi all,

Thought this might be interesting.

Sorry if this is abusing the list.

Cheers.

LBUS stability

I have a small problem concerning the stability of the two LBUS demons.

Well, rather the lbuscd demon and a non-responsiveness of lbussd.

After a reboot the terminal (in most cases) works just fine. Upon
log-in it probes the floppy and places the floppy folder om the
desktop. USB stick appears (at least if I plug it in and out a few
times) and the IDE-CDROM also works fine (most of the time).

The problems starts, whenever the first user (after a reboot) logs
out, and leaves the terminal to a different user. In several cases
this causes the floppy drive not to be detected upon login. Though

/usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh add block readwrite 1024 Floppy

works fine and it added the floppy and double clicking it give me
access to the floppy.

In other cases, inserting a cdrom is not detected by lbuscd (at least
lbussd is not firing). Again in most cases

/usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh add block readonly 1024 CDROM

does provide access to it. (Though it might not want to release the
CDROM until the terminal is rebooted.)

From what I gather a normal log-in should give you this in ~/.lbussd.out

entries in xinitrc

Hello,

i installed ltsp 4.2 local dev on my gentoo ltsp-server. Problem is, i 
have to execute 'sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/lbus-start.sh' in an xterm 
on the client to get my floppy working.

my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc after modification:
---------------
  # First try ~/.xinitrc
  if [ -f "$HOME/.xinitrc" ]; then
          XINITRC="$HOME/.xinitrc"
          sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/lbus-start.sh
          exec /bin/sh "$HOME/.xinitrc"
  # If not present, try the system default
  elif [ -n "`/etc/X11/chooser.sh`" ]; then
          sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/lbus-start.sh
          exec "`/etc/X11/chooser.sh`"

-----------------

whats wrong with the entries?

What do you expect this to do?

I'm no LTSP expert, but your X processes are all running on the LTSP 
server, none on the client.  The presence of that .xinitrc file will be 
the same whether you log in at the console or in a terminal.

What you are after is determining where X is running.  This can be done, 

Auth problems with removable devices

Re: Auth problems with removable devices

Stephen,

What are you running on your server?

Which distro, and which kernel.

For local devices to work with FUSE, you need to have a 2.6 kernel on 
the server.

RE: Auth problems with removable devices

I don't know if this makes any difference, but the NFS mount for the LTSP
image and the X server they run from are two different machines.
