Followed the video to the letter. Didnāt work. Canāt remember where now precisely, But one of the commands you fed in during the installation of ltsp simply got thrown back at me with āunknown commandā or āunknown processā. Pretty much a re-run, in terms of something not working the same as indicted in the instruction as when I followed your original instructions.
Meanwhile, I should note that my working VM ltsp network was made by me with an old ubuntu 12.04 iso a test run. It also happens to be the one I used on bare metal the last time i had ltsp running on my own machine
However, since the version of Ubuntu 12.04 that I used to make that VM ltsp network has since been upgraded several times, I decided got hold of the latest Ubuntu 12.04.5 and set about intalling it and ltsp in the way I have done successfully several time previously, both as VMs and on bare metal.
Lo and behold, the latest version of ubuntu 12.04 now doesnāt work either in precisely the same way that all subsequent versions of ubuntu do not work with ltsp!
I have also tried to install Edubuntu. In this event, after installation, the wireless connection to the internet does not work and I have spent three days on the ******** interent getting absolutely nowhere with regards to any kind of answer as to why! Furthermore, the response on the actual Ubuntu main forum regarding any and all requests for advice on this issue has been deafening silence!
I have found out that if i disable the eth connection on the edubuntu installation, then the internet works, but as soon as I reconnect to the eth, the internet connection dies, although the network manager applet is indicating a connection is live. Furthermore, even with the eth connection, no client will boot anyway! And this from a distro that boasts ltsp out of the box! So, enough with Edubuntu.
So, I went back to the Ubuntu main site and downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04.5 alternative cd, which allows for an ltsp installation out of the box (apparently). The installation duly broke when it came to building the ltsp client image. However, it allowed me to skip the ltsp image build and proceed with the rest of the installation. Once installed, I issued the build image command and it duly built it. However, when I then went to load a client, it would not boot. This was despite the server showing no issues with the isc-dhcp server. So, another couple of hours lost.
I then thought Iād use my old iso I originally used to install my Ubuntu 12.04 with LTSP (and also recently made a vm network with and used that to make a new install. It still didnāt work! i can only assume this was because I had it set to provide updates while installing and that these updates contain whatever the hell it is that is stopping ltsp from working. I tested this by going to my Vm and doing a full software update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Surprise, surprise, it broke the ltsp on the VM network as well!
For information, the instructions I have always followed for installing ltsp are from this site, below:
https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-create-ubuntu-1104-x64-ltsp-server-32bit-thin-clients
All of the configuration on my system is identical to that shown on the website. This worked perfectly up to 12.04. It has not worked for me on any distribution since, nor have I been able to find any instructions that do work since, including yours. The last time I had ltsp working was on my old 12.04 machine immediately prior to installing ubuntu mate 14.10 a few months back.
I currently have my Ubuntu mate 14.04 64 bit image back on my machine with ltsp installed with exactly the configuration settings as indicated in the website above. If the OP, or anyone else on here, can indicate what the hell is worng with those settings so that I can get my ltsp up and running, I wpuld be very grateful
