I know this is maybe too late to write an article for LMDE 3. But this is what I currently use at my office. I made this setup more than 2 years ago. It took me a week to figure out the problem I had regarding LTSP-Server installation and configuration. Until now I didn’t have time to document it. I followed the instructions mainly from here. At our office we have 5 thin clients and one LTSP-Server. The configuration looks like this:

Anyway, here are the steps that I did to install LTSP-Server at my office:

~$ sudo apt-get update

~$ sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone dnsmasq epoptes epoptes-client ltsp-client network-manager-gnome dnsutils rsync

Add user to group “epoptes”, in this example “admin”:

~$ sudo usermod -G epoptes -a admin

Set the network like following screenshot:

My “/etc/ltsp/dhcp.conf” looks like following:

#
# Default LTSP dhcpd.conf config file.
#

authoritative;

subnet 192.168.68.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.68.20 192.168.68.250;
    option domain-name "example.com";
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.68.1;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.68.255;
    option routers 192.168.68.1;
    next-server 192.168.68.1;
#    get-lease-hostnames true;
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
    if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
        filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
    } else {
        filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
    }
}

Restart network-manager service:

~$ sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service

Find out kernel version and reconfigure the package:

~$ uname -r
4.9.0-8-amd64
~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64

Update ltsp-image:

~$ sudo ltsp-update-image --cleanup /

Here are some pictures of the client during booting:

Okay, that’s it about my LMDE 3 LTSP-Server installation.
