LTSP Client Signon Not Working...


Ok, I installed the LTSP Server Standalone package.
DHCP3 installed as dependecies as well.
My Client PC(laptop) is PXE booting into the Ubuntu Sign in screen, but when i enter the User ID and password, it says verifying password, then eventually the screen just clears and nothing happens.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
I tried installing the ltsp-client-core, but it tells me that is only for the Client pc. (not sure how I can install it on the client, when I'm trying to use the laptop as a diskless pc over the network (hence the whole LTSP logic).
Any help would be appreciated....

Hi,

1.Please post your dhcp.conf and lts.conf file
2.Should the thinclient load the graphical desktop or just telnet or ssh to your ltsp server?

I'm having this same problem with LTSP 5.0 on Debian Lenny and now 10 thin clients are useless, as no-one can log in. It used to work perfectly with LTSP 4.2.

I have no dhcp.conf, as the company device manages DHCP, but the clients get their hostnames and boot fine to the login screen. The login manager is KDM and it's configured to allow remote access (as it does).

The users are created to the server as usual. lts.conf is in its default settings, since my old lts.conf from LTSP 4.2 doesn't work (black screen on clients).

This is extremely urgent, how to fix this issue?

SOLUTION HERE!

Just after entering my question, I found the cause of the problem by looking into /var/log/auth.log.

You need to add your terminal server users into the AllowUsers line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Eg.

AllowUsers user1 user2 user3 etc

Then restart the SSH server daemon. Works!
