Ernesto

you are doing really great things, but in your hurry it seems you may have 
missed a few basics:
You can't have RW NBD images.
Why do you want fat clients.
For FAT clients with nbd you'd look at unionfs [what that does is this]

  R
  O
  F
  I      ----> Write (say) the I. This is mirrored as RAM
  L             Now all the FS is RO except the I which is RAM

Logout - wait ... reset
Not had any problems, but it's really rather horrid
Mostly I just shutdown the server and power off

You're doing it wrong

See how useful no information is. I've installed both and had them work out-
of-the-box.

You  mean, "We need more information and effort on your part (such as 
logfiles, exact error message syntax, etc." ;) And a basic understanding 
of the system would aid in retrieving these important things. Maybe 
RTFM, or RTFW (read the fine.. yes, I said fine... wiki) at 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP .

;)

OK Guys.
When I ask for help I have to assume the readers are Intelligent enough to
realise that by subscribing and putting up this message , I have spent hours
reading all the references that I can find.
Yes I culd have put a lot  more info , but I wanted to see if anyone was out
there who was intrested in helping.
A group of us in Capetown are trying to setup a standard LTSP server for the
local schools.
The first try at University of the Western Cape, was a bog standard install
using the LTSP option for 8.04
The client was a pc set to a network boot.
Everything worked fine except the login.  'not authorized ...." Cannot
remember the exact wording.
Next ...
At Camps Bay High they have Sun thin clients which had been working undet
7.01 (don't know how they were installed)
Under 8.04 they give a bios problem which was solved but then they crask\h
with a kernel panic.
So I installed 7.10 alternate cd  at home got it running on my wireless
connection to the adsl modem (unable to download the edubuntu version from
the Tuxlab distribution site.)
Manged to figure out how to build a client and update keys and build an
image. (in that order)
The terminal boots fine, with 2 problems.
1. no graphics
2. unable to login.
module-detect (argument: "") initialization failed
E: main.c module load failed
main.c failed to initialize daemon
The above appears on the client screen  after which I can get a command line

Great, but only pushing it doesn't work... it should be there some  
script to power off the machine or I must keep pressed power button  
for 4 sec til machine shutdowns, that works but it's not as clean as  
I'd like...
Must I put some acpi stuff in ltsp environment?

Hmmm... of course the client must be acpi capable. On older hardware you 
may need apm as well, but I cannot remember that someone would have needed 
such setup.

Here it works out of the box, i.e. I did not have to tweak the kernel 
setup... (ltsp5, debian etch, setup date Nov 2007)

Anyway you should check on the clients whether the acpi modules are 
loaded... (or compiled in the kernel).

Samsung 732NW Resolution

Dear All,

I have problem setting up my client using Samsung 732NW (Wide Screen).
I already set the lts.conf :

        X_MODE_0 = 1280x768

But I still got 1280x960 info on my Monitor info Menu ....
What should I do to set it up to 1280x768?

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,
Donny Christiaan.
