Wish me luck. I just bought Raspberry Pi and decided make it my LTSP client at home. Just got tired having too many powerful machines just about for nothing.

You should write up a nice howto on the LTSP wiki once you have it working. :)

since 4 years :)
13:48
(or even five)
13:52

doesn't here.

Is it possible to have an LTSP going on a different OS then it is offering? For example, clients useing Ubuntu, but the host is a CentOS system.

14:50Hyperbyte has left IRC (Hyperbyte!jan@middelkoop.cc, Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
14:56
<Zaphoid>
||cw: I guess my question there would be "how much of a pain". I'm hoping to setup a 60 station LTSP install in a couple of months, and prefer to use my existing CentOS infrastructure, but with the more user friendly/updated Linux Mint clients.
14:56Hyperbyte has joined IRC (Hyperbyte!jan@middelkoop.cc)
14:56
<Zaphoid>
I COULD use a Ubuntu/Mint LTSP host, but that would require additional steps.
14:58
<vagrantc>
why linux mint on the clients? you'd have to write that yourself?
14:58
though it shouldn't be too hard
14:59
<Zaphoid>
Mint as opposed to CentOS6?
14:59
Or Mint as opposed to Ubuntu?
14:59
<vagrantc>
mint, as opposed to an OS that supports LTSP...
14:59
such as ubuntu

Mint 13 Ubuntu does work out of the box, just not with the right Windows Manager and UI (working on that right now)
15:00
But Mint 13 also because it tends to be more user friendly, that is to say "Windows user friendly" then the standard Ubuntu install
15:02
But, honestly, I'm more of a RedHat guy myself, so the whole Debian/Ubuntu land is a bit new to me and the small differences are taking time to get used to. I could be making assumptions I shouldn't be.
15:03
<vagrantc>
well, if you're using CentOS as your server, te user will be exposed to the CentOS desktop anyways...
15:04
unless you're doing fat clients
15:05
mint 13 LTSP works out of the box?
15:05
<Zaphoid>
I am, at this time, fat clients
15:05
Well
15:05
I guess not RIGHT out of the box, had to make a couple links and use --dist=precise
15:06
But all the Ubuntu LTSP stuff is in there.
15:06
<vagrantc>
i've heard a lot of people having difficulty setting it up, and there's not one line of code committed upstream to LTSP for Mint
15:06
<Zaphoid>
So the desktop I'm exposing at this time, through the fat clients, looks like Ubuntu
15:06
<vagrantc>
right
15:06
<Zaphoid>
Which I'm working at solving right now.
15:06
<vagrantc>
becuase it essentially is ubuntu...
15:06
<Zaphoid>
Yes

15:07
<vagrantc>
bennabiy has been working on Mint support a bit that could go upstream to avoid the ugly workarounds
15:08
<Zaphoid>
Interesting. That could help me out quite a bit. How far along is it, and what version of Mint is it for?
15:08
I'm hoping to stick to the longterm stable release.
15:08
<vagrantc>
dunno how that's coming, but it shouldn't be oo hard since it's only a little divergent from ubuntu
15:09
at least as fa as ltsp is concerned
15:09
<Zaphoid>
Yeah. All the basic OS stuff is the same.
15:09
<vagrantc>
anyways, gotta head out. good luck!
15:09* vagrantc waves

or can you please give me pointer to where i can find more info to move on ...

hi PhoenixSTF, do you know if there is an gui that i can use for LTSP server?
21:43
<PhoenixSTF>
no but there is a webui
21:43
<tfdl>
i used openthinclient before and PXE register the thinclients to the server, with the gui i can see things better.
21:44
<PhoenixSTF>
ltsp-cluster has a web interface for configuration and management
21:44
that I know of
21:44
<tfdl>
very helpful info.
21:46
i will dig, but by any chance you know why my LTSP clients fail PXE booting?
21:46
i gave alkisg info above.
21:46
I confirm the LTSP server is running
21:47
i confirm the tftpd-hpa is running
21:47
<PhoenixSTF>
you can have many problems, dhcp next server not configured
21:47
you do need to tell dhcp server who has the PXE boot
21:48
<tfdl>
very good suggestion, but i am using dhcp server from our university of Calgary
