Sorry if this is a duplication - not sure if it was sent.
I have a new installation of K12LTSP. Some clients boot normally; One set
of identical machines (about 20) terminate the boot with "Fatal server
error: no screens found."
What version of K12LTSP are you running? The 4.4.1 or the 5.0 (beta)?
Look in /etc/k12ltsp-release if you're not sure.
Just guessing here, but it sounds like it's not able to properly detect
the video card/chipset in those clients. Get the MAC address of one of
the clients in question, add it to the /etc/dhcpd.conf* file like so:
host problem {
hardware ethernet 00:90:27:b6:b9:15;
}
but use the MAC address of the client instead of the number I used. If
you look toward the bottom of the file, you'll see other examples. What
you're doing here is just assigning a name to the client so it's easier
to configure what X server it loads. After you've made the above change,
restart the DHCP server ('service dhcpd restart'). Then add this to the
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf file:
[problem]
XSERVER = vesa
Add this to the bottom of the file; there are other examples there,
too. After that, reboot your client and see what you get. What you've
done is told the system that the client with MAC address
00:90:27:b6:b9:15 and known by the name 'problem' should have the vesa X
server loaded, rather than trying to auto configure it. HTH
