I want my ltsp client image to boot in perticular vlan . should i make changes in /etc/dnsmasq.conf ? my client computers are connected to separate switch and ltsp server computer is connected some another switch .

<alkisg>
system_analyst: the "initramfs-tools" package is the one that brings up networking; you can check about its vlan support in `man initramfs.conf` and in its code: https://termbin.com/b1gh

LTSP doesn't care about VLANs, it'll use whatever you configure in initramfs-tools

Hello, I recently got a serious issue with my LTSP server. I've done two things since it last worked.installing timeshift and
10:29
1. Installed timeshift and 2. Added fstab mounting for /srv/. Now the server won't launch and there seems to be some issue with the Linux kernel
10:30
<alkisg>
LTSP isn't involved in the boot process of the server, so any troubleshooting can be done without mentioning "LTSP"
10:30
E.g. if the OS is Ubuntu, you may go to #ubuntu and say "I installed timeshift and now the server won't start", and ask for help from there
10:31
<Johoo>
I get the issue. Failed to start default target: Transaction for graphical/start is destructive

I'm wondering if I've caused the issue when I added /srv/ mounting as an fstab config in ltsp.config

<alkisg>
Johoo14: no, ltsp.conf isn't used while the server boots. It's only used while the clients boot.

Aha okey

I've reset my settings now so that I can boot again. Can I ask you alkisg, how can I easily make, e.g., YouTube videos available to all users on all clients?
11:49
I tried putting them in /srv/ but I noticed it's not mounted on clients. Even though I wrote the line 'FSTAB_01="server:/srv /mnt nfs defaults,nolock 0 0"'
11:49
I wrote that under [clients]

The clients have the line in their fstab file
11:55
In /mnt on clients I only find tftp and ltsp folders. Can't seem to find my other folders

Make sure you export it in your server nfs settings; ltsp doesn't automate that part
