Outstanding issues

BoF agenda and discussion

• We decided in Detroit that a requirement for LTSP should be some kind of gui management.
• Should allow for different target architechtures.
• We need to add the management of the lts.conf file.
• ltsp-manager is already in universe, simply needs some more work.
• Doesn't have a .desktop yet, should install under the Administration.
• Move over some of Jim's code for testing the status of LTSP.
  • Restart LTSP. Upstart magic.
• We are missing handling of screen scripts. Need to add that.
• Per client as well as default settings.
• Either grab the syslog for dhcpd, or do an arp -a to automatically grab all the mac addresses on the network.
• Promote a dynamic ip address to a static ip address.
• Update the chroot via apt.

Version 2.0:

• Add ltspinfo, power off client.
• Wake on LAN?
