In ltsp-pnp there's no /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file,
as dnsmasq is used instead of isc-dhcp-server.

The default lts.conf (sudo ltsp-config lts.conf) contains this line:
RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES="tty1 apache2 clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam dnsmasq mysql nbd-server nfs-kernel-server php5-fpm shared-folders ssh squid3 whoopsie x2goserver mediatomb timidity smbd netatalk minidlna dhcp-probe tty1 lxc"

Note the "dnsmasq" service there. In other words, dnsmasq isn't supposed to be running on the clients.

So the problem probably is that you don't have a correct lts.conf, or that your clients don't get it from the server successfully.
`getltscfg -a` locally on the client will tell you.

Another thing to try is to symlink amd64 in i386 in tftp:
sudo ln -s amd64 /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386

Hello again,

I've had a chance to try out an ltsp-pnp install in my classroom using
guides such as:

or

I'm having an issue where clients that are powered up minutes after the
first dozen boxes have booted, get ip numbers for the boot server,
  gateway and dhcp server from one of the first booted clients.

When this happens nothing obviously works! and the clients rests at a
BusyBox shell..  like this:

I have done a ton of reading and do know that the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
file is being read.  I'm an external dhcp service through my router and
do not have the ltsp server providing a range through
the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file.  I have inserted nameserver 192.168.1.254
into my /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file.

Here are the key settings in my ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf file...

#dhcp-range=192.168.1.110,192.168.1.145,8h
dhcp-option=17,/opt/ltsp/images/amd64
port=0
bind-dynamic

With these settings I can boot many clients simultaneously.  The trouble
occurs when I boot other boxes 2 or 3 minutes or later.  they all get
wierd ip number and boo info from newly running clients...

I sure would apprciate any advice.  Thanks,  Jim
