LTSP Working, but issues and questions.

[David C. Moody]

Hello,

Thanks to Andy's help I was able to get my LTSP setup running. Now I have a few questions.


1. On Ubuntu's LTSP setup, it was necessary to update the chroot. Is that needed in the Centos/Scientific Linux setup? There was a nice setup guide for Ubuntu (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UpdatingChroot) which contained the basic idea. I thought about just doing this manually already, but then was worried about copying /etc/yum.repos.d -> /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/yum.repos.d because the LTSP image is running scientific linux and my repos would be CentOS?
2. When users log in (on the thin client) they are presented with the following prompt: "Authentication is required to set the network proxy used for downloading packages" Any ideas on removing this?

Thanks for the help!
-David

David,

This is just a stab in the dark,but,on the server itself,try
disabling,any 'auto-update' running daemons,as root/superuser and see if
this nag goes away for users logging into an TC.
Did you do any entries on the server system-wide for entering a proxy
number:port for using apt-get or yum by chance?

I am not quite clear if you are at current running Ubuntu as the server
side of your current ltsp install?

Also i do remember a while back reading were there was in fact the
scenario you are describing system-wide but I believe this was on one
iteration of Suse?

Take Care,
BC
