I'm very keen on using the super new Edubuntu 10.04 LTSP "out of the box". I downloaded and tried the Edubuntu 10.04 image on a real DVD. Edubuntu worked fine, and the new LTSP-live ran without errors but didn't allow any of my thin clients to boot (no DHCP). I checked the DVD, found errors, burned a new one without errors and tried again. Still didn't work as intended (no DHCP). Occasionally the thin client would boot but hang during the splash. Same with two quite different thin clients. I eventually found out that running LTSP-live with the thin client already switched on and listening would get it to boot occasionally. If it didn't work the first time, switching from eth0 to eth1 (or vice versa) could work, irrespective of how many NICs were actually present and where. Testing was both with a cross-over ethernet cable and with a router/switch. I now installed Edubuntu from the live DVD without a network connection. LTSP-live is gone and LTSP is not installed. There is no mention of LTSP anywhere. On the terminal "ltsp-install" (or "ltsp-installer" is available, but sudo ltsp-install fails with numerous errors like "/dev/target/proc not found". On the Ubuntu-servers there is not yet any documentation on how to proceed with a fresh Edubuntu 10.04 install. No specific bug reports, but a mention at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9246351. I'm sure I could get it running like I did with Kubuntu 8.04 two years ago, but I think it is time that a newbie should be able to use LTSP from a fresh Edubuntu install, hence this posting here. It is not clear (to a newbie) if LTSP-live is only available in the live environment and if so, whether the real LTSP packages are on the DVD or not. They are actually on the DVD but neither kpackagekit nor synaptic are able to mount the dvd. To sum up, LTSP-live works but only with fiddling, and LTSP on a HD-install is not installable without an internet connection. Usability is not yet good enough for a newbie.
