XFCE4

[Matthew Carter]

Has anyone had any luck in using XFCE as the desktop on their LTSP server?

I'm having issues with the clients allowing logins. As soon as I type the
username and password, the login screen respawns. I'm using XFCE4 with GDM
on the server and I'm assuming the client doesn't have the correct packages
to support. When I chroot in to /opt/ltsp/i386, I am unable to update the
image with XFCE packages.

When I run this with the default Gnome WM and Desktop, it works fine, but
this I am trying to conserve memory.

Any luck with any other alternate DM's or Desktops?

Thanks!

Matthew,

After trying to do an TC login with XFCE4 desktop,could you
copy/paste the last about 50 lines of 'messages' on the ltsp server?
Does XFCE actually show up,,,,in the options part at the gnome login
box?
Try logging into your terminal with KDE as desktop,,and see if you get
logged out immediately
Also look in server logs for the X11 error.log as well.

What error are you getting when trying to chroot to ltsp dir,,,and
rebuild image there?

Sorry about the delay in the response, busy at work and home . . . I
think I may have figured out the issue.

I had ssh set to an alternate port instead of 22 and it was also limited
by username. Once I set that back to the standard port and removed the
user limitation, it allowed me to login. I think I'm going to run the
communications unencrypted for better speed anyway. Once I logged in to
the TC, I only saw the background. I then chrooted on the server to
/opt/ltsp/i386 and did a "yum install xfce-panel" and then rebooted the
TC. It came up perfectly.


Thanks!
