[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#704120: ltsp-server: serveral ltsp clients freezed at the same instant

[Jürgen Fuchsberger]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.4.2-5
Severity: important

Dear all,

Yesterday morning I had a severe problem with some ltsp-clients: All
clients at a specific ltsp-server (the machine I was writing this bug
report on) froze at the same instant. Only mouse was moving in gnome3,
nothing else worked, not even text-console at ctrl-alt-F1. We had to
hard-reset the clients, causing data loss for some users.

My guess is that package ltsp-server is the cause since it happened to
several clients on the same server, but maybe I am wrong. Please feel
free to reassign to another package.

Regarding logs, unfortunately I did not find any relevant information on
the servers var/log/syslog nor any other logfile that could give hints
about this problem. The logfiles at the clients are gone, due to the
complete freeze I could not copy them anywhere before resetting.

Please give information on whether I can provide further information to
narrow down this bug.

Best,
Jürgen

PS: Sorry if this is sent twice, I first sent this message yesterday
using sendmail but this did not seem to work so I now try again using
Thunderbird.
