Ubuntu 7.04 and LTSP

[Jay Perez]

Hi Tom,

I'm somewhat of a newbie but recently set up an LTSP server using the Edubuntu distro.

For the most part it works pretty much out-of-the-box if you have both NICs installed when you do the software install.

I notice that both your NICs have static IPs.  My ISP only allows DHCP so my NIC on the Internet side must be set to Dynamic.  Unless you have something in place to get a static IP from your Internet provider or a service that manages this for you, you'll probably need to change this.

Also, is it possible you might have both your server and your router trying to server DHCP ?

Good Luck !

Jay

Okay I just tried logging into the LTSP Client. I get this error

Xession unable to start Xsession. -- no /home/user.Xsessionfile or
..xsession file -- no session managers, no window managers, and no
terminal emulators found; aborting.
