Public bug reported:
Ok, I have currently undertaken a project of setting up an Ubuntu ltsp
server to use for booting thin clients. Upon install from the Ubuntu
9.04 Alternate CD, everything seems to go as needed till I boot the
system and it has no connection on the internet side. I also tried to
install the standard server version without the ltsp option then install
the ltsp packages on the already working desktop. I get better control
of the network devices but end up with internet connection but no
connection on the client side.
I've been trying many different suggestions and settings on how to get
this working but still haven't gotten it to work. As far as I can tell,
the easier way of the two is for me to install Ubuntu Server with the
ltsp option from the CD and try to get the internet side set up
correctly to connect and complete the install (which is the way it has
been installed and am currently working with). But ltsp installed from
the CD won't allow the server to connect to the internet and allow me to
build the i386 client on my AMD64 server.
I am starting to think that somewhere along the install process for the
ltsp from the CD there is either an incorrect/missing network setting
that won't allow me to connect to the internet.
I have a router on the internet side which the server connects to, then
a switch connected on the client side. I've switched back to the CD
install because I'm able to get the client an IP and it will request the
boot files (which aren't in place because I am out the internet
connection in order to complete the ltsp-build-client). I can run the
ifconfig and see both network cards working and there they seem to be
working just fine. From the network icon in the system tray, the server
sees both cards but only the one I chose as the primary shows connection
and the other says it's not managed.
Sorry for the long post and because I don't have internet connection on
the server, I will have to transfer any results to my other OS in order
to get them up here. So I'll be back in here to post the attachments
from the commands on the first page of bug reporting where I typed all
this in.
