| 21:33 | <james1> 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.

| 21:55 | <linuxfool> 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.
