Maintaining and improving the Thin Clients module

[abix_adamj_pl]

Hi,

I have problem in Zentyal 3.3, everything works up to the login screen on thin client. I write login and password (user is in /etc/passwd on zentyal) and I cannot log in from thin client. After 20 seconds login screen appears again. There is nothing strange in syslog. I can make ssh user@zentyal from thin client.

Can anyone give me some advise, what to check next?

Hi all,
It seems this topic has gone cold.  Does that mean the project to keep LTSP alive in Zentyal is dead?  For the classroom situation LTSP is very useful and we need to get this back into the server.  I've seen people move away from Zentyal to use something else due to the lack of thin client support.  I know the product was geared towards SMBs but it has gained popularity in the educational realm.  There have been implementations using thin clients and now that's all in danger.  This effort was keeping it going but it looks like that too is going cold.

Any reasons?  Is it a dead end?

Cheers

why this module is necessary? the command line does better

My personal opinion would be to use LTSP on a dedicated server and not combine it with other services since it is rather memory consuming. And if you go on the dedicated server path, using edubuntu as the base distro to deploy LTSP might be a good solution since it has some neat deployment scripts and all the educational goodies you could wish for in an educational environment.
