LTSP NFS might be what you need for your use case : installing packages on LTSP and making them instantaneously available on running clients. However I don't know much about it. > if I need to install skype, the command will does a new clean LTSP image client with skype, right? Exact, then your users will get the new LTSP image (with skype) on reboot. Running 'ltsp-update-image' while there are connected users works fine, although it uses a lot of the server's CPU. If you want to install packages client side while the users use it, I think you can also connect to the clients using ssh (see parallel-ssh or ansible for batch mode) and get elevated priviledges (sudo). However, as you noticed, these changes will go away on shutdown.

Users need only use clients side. I would like to know if have other option to install a new package if need, when users are working in clients for exemple: without erase client files, because, if I need to install skype, the command will does a new clean LTSP image client with skype, right? If you have to install and uninstall packages frequently, and rebuilding the NBD images each time slows you down, another option is to use NFS and chroot for the client system, as described here: [ http://dashohoxha.fs.al/ltsp-scenarios/#org9be607e | http://dashohoxha.fs.al/ltsp-scenarios/#org9be607e ] _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
