[edubuntu] Setup LAN on Edubuntu LTSP using Thin Clients

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I am using Edubuntu LTSP for 5 sites in Guinea. I need to set up a LAN with an Edubuntu LTSP Server connected to 6 work stations on Thin Clients. (TC) These TC need to be able to write to and read from the server simultaneously as well as save data. Can this be done? Please advise with detailed step by step instructions I am new to Linux. Command line entries are daunting. If there is a GUI program all the better. The easiest solution will be the best because Guineans will be running this equipment in Schools and Clinics. Thanks DWA (Hardware)

[edubuntu] LTSP Issues 1 year 10 weeks ago

Hey All,

Was wondering if someone could shed some light onto something I am working on.

Hi,

Please help - my LTSP automation system is having problems at work!

I have had an LTSP server running Ubuntu 10.04 for over a year now at work and have never had a boot problem (We have had HP thin clients - LTSP always just seemed to work for them).

Hello,

I had a system crash when trying to get fat clients to work in our LTSP lab and, so, had to reinstall everything today. I was moving along quite well when I noticed none of the clients will display the launcher.

I am Googling away but can't find anything.

Please help!

I'm running edubuntu 12.04 with the gnome desktop.

[edubuntu] eduntu ltsp 15 weeks 5 days ago

Hi

is it possible to install edubuntu whit ltsp on an server whit 1 nic ? and already an dhcp server on the network ?

I wanted to figure out what are the minimum hardware requirements for running 8 smooth thin clients with Ubuntu and LTSP. The thin clients need to be able to run a web browser to access a webapp (apache, mysql and django) hosted locally in the same server.

How much RAM do i need? cpu?

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks!

[ubuntu] LTSP newbie help please 45 weeks 10 hours ago

hi all,

I am trying to get an LTSP server installed and working.

i have done the following :

installed ubunty 12.04 desktop 32 bit on a computer. installed LTSP server created 32 bit image for thin clients

now when i boot a thin client, it connects to the server and then gets the image file.

however, after i log in , i get only the linux background.

Hi Sorry if here isn't right place for asking this question

I have a ltsp server ( edubuntu 12.04 ) it was working fine. With any try for connecting to server, client received next ip address ( means first time 192.168.0.2 and next time same client 192.168.0.3 ). suddenly on 192.168.0.6 I got pxe-e11 error in connecting. Nothing changed in my network.

We want to use a thin client solution in our small company: about 20 PCs. But connecting from home is needed, too.

Ubuntu seems to favor LTSP, but on the x2go FAQ says that LTSP is not well suited for WAN connections:

LTSP requires a high bandwidth on your network.

Hi,

I have set up a classroom with 30 thin clients. I have about 150 users whose accounts have been created using Webmin for convenience.

Each of these users is a member of the student group, which was done so that a restricted specific menu is displayed when a student logs in.
