[K12OSN] LDM crashing on trying to log in.

[Radek Bursztynowski]

Hello,

I have the same problems. The problem with first attempting to log in I
solved (I believe). This solution concerns i386 and x86_64 thin client
image (epel6-i386 and epel-6-x86_64).

I added to /opt/ltsp/chroot/etc/sysconfig three files which I couldn't
find after ltsp-build-client script execution:


(Polish parameters)
clock
ZONE="Warsaw/Europe"

i18n
LANG="pl_PL.UTF-8"

keyboard
KEYTABLE="pl2"
MODEL="pc105"
LAYOUT="pl"
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"

and my /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp_chroot is not empty but includes

LTSP_CHROOT=/opt/ltsp/i386 line

and /opt/ltsp/x86_64/etc/ltsp_chroot includes

LTSP_CHROOT=/opt/ltsp/x86_64 line.

Now LDM doesn't reload and works fine.

I am not sure that this the best solution, but it helped me.

Thin client still doesn't reboot or shutdown.

I tried Debian LTSP too, but I retrieved. Finally I moved Debian thin
client image to LTSP on CentOS 6.4 and I can use it, but I prefer epel-6
images. In my opinion the most stable thin client image is Scientific
Linux 6.1 (ltsp-server 5.2) and I recommend it.

Best regards,
Radek
