Hello!

I'm trying to virtualize a ltsp server from a container wich was created using an ubuntu-12.04-x86. After the succesfull creation of the container I did all the steps from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients without errors, so apparently everything it's ok, but it isn't. The clients-pc boot from network and load de ubuntu-desktop image without problem but the login screen is like frozzen, neither the mouse nor the keyboard works. Could any body tell my if I ignored something at proxmox configuration level, or if I made a mistake by selecting the template mentioned above, or something else?

Thanks a lot and best regards.

I strongly suggest to use a KVM Vm and not a OpenVZ container. This way you are independent from host kernel (i.e. if you need NFS and nfs-kernel-server package). I'm involved in LTSP deploy in schools and, as test environment, I use ltsp setups with Proxmox and KVM (or in my local workstation still with KVM).
