Don't follow any wiki links for localapps. ltsp-pnp already has all the applications locally in the "chroot". You can try to launch a browser locally by running: $ ltsp-localapps xterm and then inside the xterm $ firefox ..but you'll see that 256 MB RAM is too little to run a browser locally.
Also Geode support in Linux is pretty lame, and it's frequently a cause for crashes.
Try netbooting a desktop PC, something with e.g. 2 GB RAM and > 2000 score in cpubenchmark.net. It will automatically boot as a fat client, the browser will run locally and flash performance will be fine.
It's time to upgrade your clients to fats. :) On 26/11/2015 10:06 πμ, Giacomo Trovato wrote:
Hi All, I've an LTSP PnP classroom with 10 Alix2d13 thin clients (AMD Geode LX 500 Mhz, 256 MB ram) . The server is an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 v3 @ 3.10GHz, 4 GB ram. I've two main problems: - sometimes the thin clients hang without any message (especially with graphic applications); could be an hardware or a software problem related to Geode drivers? How I can check if I have the proper Geode driver installed? - the users complain about low Internet performances when all clients use game with flash. The server doesn't seem overloaded; I do not think a problem related with Internet bandwidth (it's around 6 Mbps). Could be a problem related to an overload of thin client? Could be useful to install a proxy or install Firefox as local app on thin clients? Thank you for the answers!
