Hey everyone. I've just installed LTSP and am attempting to boot a fat client laptop. PXE works but times out. The server and the client can communicate with each other using ping. What might be causing this?
21:53
<Hyperbyte>
james1, PXE is two steps.
21:53
1. dhcp. 2. tftp.
21:54
If PXE times out, it's either dhcp or tftp problem.

Hello all
22:01
If an LTSP setup is going to be strictly on a local area network without any need or desire for access to the Internet, are there certain steps or precesses that can be left out to simplify the setup?
22:04
<Hyperbyte>
linuxfool, depends on what howto you're following.
22:05
Practically, no, everything that is needed to configure LTSP is needed wether you want to have the clients on the internet or not.
22:06
<linuxfool>
Hyperbyte: yeah, I've noticed that. There seem to be a bunch of them. I followed the one that's in the ubuntu community help forum.
22:07
One guide says something about not using the standalone package bcause of something about dhcp and the other says to use the standalone version.
22:08
Is there a command to actually be running the server? Or should having the package downloaded and a client image created mean anything that logs onto the LAN with PXE should boot up the client image?
22:20
<Hyperbyte>
linuxfool, LTSP consists of basically these parts:
22:21
1. dhcp server, that points network boot to the correct tftp image. this can be any dhcp server, but since it's a local network without router I presume, this would be installed on the ltsp server
22:21
2. tftp server that contains basic linux kernel and boot routines
22:21
3. nbd server that provides the full harddisk image for the client (this is mounted from the tftp boot image)
22:22
4. ssh server that enables thin clients to log in
22:23
Basically if you install ltsp-server package, run ltsp-build-client and make sure all the services are started, ltsp should work.
