[00:55] <mymrhelpdesk> hi all
[00:55] <mymrhelpdesk> i just setup an ubuntu ltsp server anyone had any experience with one?
[01:06] <JohnB112> I have a little experience, but not much. What's your question?
[01:13] <mymrhelpdesk> i just setup a server ubuntu 10.10 ltsp preload i get an error on client when booting
[01:13] <mymrhelpdesk> cannot connect to nbd server
[01:14] <mymrhelpdesk> client pull's an ip and starts with ubuntu splash screen then i get that message
[01:15] <JohnB112> The "out of the box" LTSP server for Ubuntu is preconfigured for x86 processor clients. Is that the processor on your PXE clients?
[01:15] <JohnB112> We have AMD processors on our clients. Had to configure the LTSP config file for AMD, not 386.
[01:15] <mymrhelpdesk> yeah, i'm using a intel core 2 desktop pc
[01:16] <mymrhelpdesk> might be the problem maby since is dual core?
[01:16] <JohnB112> Some of the posts suggest "ltsp-update-image --arch i386" to solve the "cannot connect to nbd server" error
[01:17] <JohnB112> This link helped us get our LTSP server up and running: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1473451
[01:18] <JohnB112> I also found that certain Dell computers simply would not work as clients, while others would. Both had Pentium 4 processors. Have you tried another client?
[01:19] <JohnB112> Yes, I would think it could be possible.
[01:20] <JohnB112> There is a procedure for using "chroot" to update the client images and then rebuild them on the server. Are you familiar with that?
[01:20] <mymrhelpdesk> no
[01:20] <mymrhelpdesk> would love information
[01:21] <mymrhelpdesk> i just tried a dell laptop an inspirion 1100 same message
[01:21] <mymrhelpdesk> unable to connect to nbd server
[01:22] <JohnB112> There's actually a YouTube video someone did on chroot. Very short, but very, very helpful. I actually followed along on Ubuntu while I watched the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bARxhOn3mKo
[01:23] <mymrhelpdesk> ok thanks
[01:23] <JohnB112> Have you read this post: http://www.rickogden.com/2010/06/ltsp-part-2-configuration/
[01:23] <JohnB112> Good luck!

[16:01] <highvoltage> mhall119: you responded to me directly (as apposed to the list), not sure if that was intentional
[16:03] <mhall119>  it was, I thought evolution handled list replying correctly
[16:03] <mhall119> it was unintentional
