where do i find the ltsp logs of thin clients on the ltsp server? I have a thin client that freezes up and when its power cycled it starts working again, i would like to dig into the logs but cant find them at /var/log/ltsp
20:39
<quinox>
thin clients are from the older LTSP, the one from the last few years only supports fat clients
20:40
there are no such logs since LTSP is basically really clever glue between standard linux tools
20:40
you probably want /var/log/dmesg
20:40
if the machine is locking up you might not be able to access it; you can set up remote logging which might or might not help you
20:41
something like rsyslog or systemd-journal-remote
20:41
those are standard linux tools, not LTSP specific. See their manual pages for what to do
20:42

quinox  sorry meant the FAT clients. Oh okay, the other clients are working just fine, so i just wanted to check whats happening to the others.
20:42
Thought logs would help, where i can see when it connects,  receive the image and the what happens after that.

on the server in /var/log/syslog , grep for dnsmasq: that's the process that should normally respond to the DHCP boot sequence + the mounting of the first filesystem over TFTP
20:47
depending on your setup /home is mounted over either ssh or something like NFS; for ssh you can check /var/log/auth.log, NFS by default is rather silent IIRC so you'll have to google a bit to see how to look at the logs
20:50
I'm off to bed now, feel free to hang around and ask questions: other people might show up eventually
