I just brought up a new server running Edubuntu 8.10, installed the add-on pack 
and it seemed like a pretty normal install. Setup my users, brought down the 
old 8.04 server, shutdown the clients, cleared the arp cache on our router and 
then brought up the new server. 

Now, my clients connect up, login with user id & pwd, but after the password 
screen, it eventually goes blank, other than the mouse. Nothing ever comes up 
on the screen. I've tailed the messages and syslog and it appears that the 
client eventually restarts itself, but that isn't evident on the screen. Are 
there other logs to check? 

I'm fishing for what might be wrong on my server. This has always been plug 'n 
play. I'm checking my network settings (static IP on the server) by using the 
route and netstat -rn commands and I see: 

tcad...@tc-01:/etc$ route 
Kernel IP routing table 
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 
10.10.26.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 
default 10.10.26.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 
tcad...@tc-01:/etc$ netstat -rn 
Kernel IP routing table 
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 
10.10.26.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 
0.0.0.0 10.10.26.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 
tcad...@tc-01:/etc$ 

First, when I type in route, it takes about 10 seconds for the default route to 
finally come up. On all my other linux/ubuntu boxes, it just pops up. Secondly, 
why am I seeing a "link-local" interface? The server has two interfaces but the 
2nd is not activated in the /network/interfaces file. Is there somewhere else I 
need to shut it down? Could all of that cause my clients to not come up? The 
lag in kicking out the route statement makes me wonder if something else is 
timing out. 

Also, I did update the SSH Keys by doing sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys and that had 
no effect (powered off the clients...). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Thx - Steve
