Aihe: interesting new features and use cases
Hi
I have expirienced LTSP for over two years and think project lives well.
I collected a list of the currently missing features I'm interested and features that might interest also others
xfreerdp and Network Level Authentication
Many Windows terminal client server implementations use and require NLA. That could possibly force us specifying username and password in lts.conf and/or cause several other problems connection to the session. I think it's important to be able to contact any RDP session.
How important this is for you others ?
e.x.
http://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/32655054/
http://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/29006343/
I have used as a workaround this:
SCREEN_07 = "xterm -geometry 120x24+100+100 +sb -title 'RDPClient' -e /bin/bash -c 'xfreerdp --from-stdin -f --plugin rdpsnd --plugin rdpdr --data disk:Drives:/media/root -- arnold'"
I noticed here also in combatibility another issue. FreeRDP wiki says: With freerdp version 1.0.2 the parameter "disk" is going to be replaced by "drive" for compatibility reasons to MS RDP
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Plugins
However the parameter "disk", it isn't replaced with "drive" in Ubuntu 14.04 freerdp version 1.0.2
USB flash drive unmount error in thin clients
http://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/33504079/
I give +1 for this:
"There should be a way to deny user's access to the server's
mounts... "Encrypted root filesystem
http://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/32089107/
vagrantc comment was very interesting
Boot with HTTP instead of TFTP
http://sourceforge.net/p/ltsp/mailman/message/32484013/
This works but needs extra configuration and maintenance in LTSP server/cluster. Clients will need to use local boot media or hacking iPXE in clients network interface.
Long term discussion about thin vs. fat client
The network connection issues break thin client session so that the user loose the session un-friendly way. We all now that single network connection breaks can't be avoided but there should be some way to recover the desktop session (always). Most NX clients survive connection breaks well. Is LTSP project currently looking NX clients ?
