Hi,

I am novice in linux and I am trying to work on Linux Terminal Server Project. But I am facing a difficulty. The notes I am following tells me that after installing the rpm files it will give u message

The following files will be created or modified:

But in my case it doesnt shows me any file.

Then it says edit file /etc/x11/xdm/xdm-config.1

but i dont have any such file. I have tried downloading the latest package of Core, Xcore, Kernel, Utils and fonts Please Help.

I am using Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1.

Thanking you and waiting for some kind replies.

You can use the rpm command to find out what exactly you do have installed. I think that the package is called ltsp.

rpm -qi ltsp | less
will show if ltsp is installed.

rpm -ql ltsp | less
will list every file that ltsp installed

Thanks Jailbait, but does ltsp works fine, does it works with Advanced server 2.1. I have heard many people complaining it is not easy to configure ltsp.


Thanks again

I tried using
rpm -qi ltsp | less and
rpm -ql ltsp|less

It shows me ltsp not installed. So I installed it again using
rpm - ihv ltsp_kernel-3.0.4-0.i386 ltsp_core-3.0.5-0.i386.rpm ltsp_x_core-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm(the versions of file are latest.. the command is from notes i have)

but it gives me error
file /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/version from install of ltsp_core-3.0.9 conflicts with the file from package ltsp_core-3.0.5-0

file /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/x11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.0 version from install of ltsp_x_core-3.0.4-0 conflicts with the file from package ltsp_x_core-3.0.1-1

"rpm - ihv ltsp_kernel-3.0.4-0.i386 ltsp_core-3.0.5-0.i386.rpm ltsp_x_core-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm(the versions of file are latest.. the command is from notes i have)"

Appearantly instead of ltsp being a single package called ltsp it is installed as three packages called ltsp_kernel, ltst_core, and ltsp_x_core.

"but it gives me error
file /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/version from install of ltsp_core-3.0.9 conflicts with the file from package ltsp_core-3.0.5-0

file /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/x11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.0 version from install of ltsp_x_core-3.0.4-0 conflicts with the file from package ltsp_x_core-3.0.1-1"

You have already installed ltsp before and you have a mixture of versions. The first thing to do is to clean out the mixture that you have installed. Use the command:
rpm --nodeps -e ltsp_kernel
to remove ltsp_kernel. Keep repeating the command until rpm tells you that ltsp_kernel is not installed. Then do the same thing for:
rpm --nodeps -e ltsp_core
and:
rpm --nodeps -e ltsp_x_core

Once you have all of the old versions cleaned out then you can install the latest version of ltsp. You should double check the version that you are trying to install. The error message said that you were trying to install ltsp_core-3.0.5-0 over top of ltsp_core-3.0.9. Are you sure that you are trying to install the latest versions of each of the three packages?

Assuming that you have the latest versions then you can install with the command in the instructions:

rpm - ihv ltsp_kernel-3.0.4-0.i386 ltsp_core-3.0.5-0.i386.rpm ltsp_x_core-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm

After you have installed ltsp you can check the installation with these commands:
rpm -qi ltsp_kernel | less
rpm -ql ltsp_kernel | less
rpm -qi ltsp_core | less
rpm -ql ltsp_core | less
rpm -qi ltsp_x_core | less
rpm -ql ltsp_x_core | less
