![]() ![]() ![]() Now that we know the requirements are fulfilled and the configuration is correct, we need to enable the users we want to have access to local devices. Note, all of the above is already done automatically on edubuntu systems that were installed from the 6.10 CD or later. Make sure not to forget to reboot your Thin clients if you changed the lts.conf file. If you don't have such a file yet, there is an example of this file installed in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client-core/examples/lts.conf, /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client-core/examples/ explains the possible parameters that can be used to override autodetected values or switch on additional features. To run the ltspfs implementation, the LOCALDEV variable must be set to True in the ltsp configuration file (/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf). ![]() Ii ltspfsd 0.4.3-0ubuntu4 Fuse based remote filesystem daemon for LTSP thin seems the software is in place. Ii ltspfs 0.4.3-0ubuntu4 Fuse based remote filesystem for LTSP thin the server side is fine, so lets check the thin client sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 dpkg -l ltspfsd|grep ^ii So first of all make sure these two packages are installed where they dpkg -l ltspfs|grep ^ii To generally enable local device access you need to make sure the ltpfs package is installed on the ltsp server and the ltspfsd package is installed in the Thin client environment (usually in /opt/ltsp/i386). In ubuntu the packages ltspfs and ltspfsd handle this, in an edubuntu system that was installed from the 6.10 (or later) CD these packages are installed by default. This filesystem was specifically developed for LTSP use around the famous fuse filesystem. Thin Client Local Device Access is done via the ltspfs filesystem. This page describes how to enable LTSP 5 local devices on ubuntu and what to regard in edubuntu (where it is enabled and installed by default). The currently recommended solution is to only use 32 bit clients even on 64 bit servers. The bug is already in the Ubuntu bug database ( ) and also known upstream. The bug only affects 64 bit LTSP clients - 32 bit clients work as expected. Local devices can be enabled as described on this very page but no data can be written to them. There is a bug in the ltspfsd daemon on 64 bit LTSP Clients that affects at least Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10. ![]()
