I have one ltsp 5 server at school and 15 kids. I wanted to introduce
them to using pidgin via the bonjour protokol for chating with each
other.
so I was walking around to each kid - one by one - to set there session
up. after the 10th computer, the kids where not able to connect anymore.
I don't have the exact error message, but if I remember well it reported
a socket/port error. also, rebooting the thin clients did not help.
those who worked also continued to work properly.
I also started pidgin from the terminal to see if there were any further
error messages appearing but there weren't.
has somebody an idea?
thanks,
uwe

problems pidgin with ltsp server
Hi Uwe,
You are probably best off installing a jabber server on the LTSP
server and routing all the kids chat sessions through that. Local
connections tend to drop off after 15-20 concurrent users. I use
ejabberd for xmpp (jabber) connections, and using a client like
empathy u can even do video/audio chat across the local network.
kind Regards,
David Van Assche

Hi there,
You can start Pidgin from command line without automatically enabling
its configured accounts with:
pidgin -n
You can also start Pidgin in debug mode like this:
pidgin -d
Once in Debug mode, error messages will hint you at any possible plugin
or protocol problem.
The -n option will then let you start Pidgin and correct any problems
(disable a plugin completely, properly configure a protocol, etc).
If you have specific technical questions about Pidgin you can also ask here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/~pidgin-rocks
Cheers,

problems pidgin with ltsp server
thank you david.
If I can't get pidgin to work, I will try ejabberd as you suggested. A
first test at home did work for me - although I could not get the
webadmin working.
I will keep you updated.

uwe
