[Ltsp-discuss] Connect to remote LTSP server?? HELP!

[Michael D. <mi...@bo...>]

Hi,

I have a LTSP server running at a remote branch with 6 users logging in
and using it every day. It is working quite well! I have a bit of a
problem though: I want to install a new application on the server and
make it available to the clients. The install program for the new app is
a gui installer. I want to do the install from here (2000 km away). So,
I'd like to log in to the server, get an X session and do the install.
The problem is...I run "X :1.0 -query 192.168.7.100" from a console on
my workstation (where 192.168.7.100 is the IP of the LTSP server). I get
to the login screen and log in. After that, all I get is a blue
background and nothing else happens. I have examined router logs and
determined that it is not a problem with any packets being blocked.

Essentially, I simply want to log into the LTSP server exactly the same
way the clients do. 

What am I doing wrong??? Any Help??

Thanks

Mike
