NAME

       lts.conf - Main configuration file for LTSP

SYNOPSIS

       Any line beginning with a '#' is considered a comment. Options are of the format:

       VARIABLE=value

DESCRIPTION

       This file gets parsed when LTSP client starts up. The section defined by [default] gets
       applied to all clients, unless there is a specification for a particular client that
       overrides it. The per-client specs are prefixed by [<mac address>]

       You may also name an arbitrary section with a name, with settings underneath that section.
       You may then inherit that section with the LIKE variable. The Example section has an
       illustration of this.

       boolean values are specified by 'Y,y,True,true' for true and 'N,n,False,false' for false

LTS.CONF - GENERAL PARAMETERS

       CONFIGURE_FSTAB
           boolean, default True

           /etc/fstab is generated by boot scripts

       FSTAB_0..FSTAB_9
           string, default unset

           Complete lines to add to /etc/fstab, for example:

               FSTAB_1="server:/home    /home           nfs     defaults,nolock 0       0"

       CRONTAB_01..CRONTAB_10
           string, default unset

           A crontab line to add for a thin client.

       DNS_SERVER
           string, default unset

           A valid IP for domain name server Used to build the client's resolv.conf file. Not
           needed by default.

       SEARCH_DOMAIN
           string, default unset

           sets a valid search domain in the clients's resolv.conf file. Used to build the
           resolv.conf file. Not needed by default.

           Needed if DNS_SERVER is set

       HOSTNAME
           string, default unset

           This parameter sets the host name for the thin client, for situations when if no DNS
           is available. A hostname is auto-generated if no hostname is set.

       HOSTNAME_BASE
           string, default ltsp

           This parameter sets the base for the autogenerated host name for the thin client.

       HOSTNAME_EXTRA
           string, default ip

           This parameter determines weather autogenerated host names are appended with
           information based on the ip address or mac address. Values are "ip" or "mac".

       NBD_SWAP
           boolean, default False

           Set this to True if you want to turn on NBD swap.

           If unspecified, it's automatically enabled for thin clients with less than 300 MB RAM
           and for fat clients with less than 800 MB RAM.

       NBD_SWAP_PORT
           integer, default 10809

           The port on which NBD swapping will occur. An nbd-server export named swap is normally
           used.

       NBD_SWAP_SERVER
           IP address, default SERVER

           The NBD swap server can exist on any server on the network that is capable of handling
           it. You can specify the IP address of that server. The default is whatever the value
           of SERVER set to.

       NBD_SWAP_THRESHOLD
           integer, default 300

           Automatically enable NBD_SWAP if the client has less RAM than the specified. For FAT
           clients, it defaults to 800.

       RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES
           string, default unset

           A space separated list of services that shouldn't start on the clients even if they're
           installed, for example:

               RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES="apache2 dnsmasq mysql nbd-server nfs-kernel-server"

       RM_THIN_SYSTEM_SERVICES
           string, default unset

           Same as RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES, but it only affects thin clients.

       KEEP_SYSTEM_SERVICES
           string, default unset

           Some services are deleted by default when an LTSP client boots, either to save RAM, or
           because they don't make sense for netbooted machines. If you need some of them you can
           list them in KEEP_SYSTEM_SERVICES, for example:

               KEEP_SYSTEM_SERVICES="acpid avahi-daemon bluetooth cups"

       SERVER
           IP address, default unset

           This is the server that is used for the XDM_SERVER, TELNET_HOST, XFS_SERVER and
           SYSLOG_HOST, if any of those are not specified explicitly. If you have one machine
           that is acting as the server for everything, then you can just specify the address
           here and omit the other server parameters. If this value is not set, it will be auto
           detected as the machine that the thin client booted from.

       SYSLOG_HOST
           IP address, default unset

           If you want to send logging messages to a machine other than the default server, then
           you can specify the machine here. If this parameter is NOT specified, then it will use
           the SERVER parameter described above. Starting from LTSP 5.4.1 and on, this parameter
           must be specified to enable remote logging.

           You have to configure your server to accept remote logging as well.

       USE_LOCAL_SWAP
           boolean, default False

           If you have a hard drive installed in the thin client, with a valid swap partition on
           it, this parameter will allow the thin client to swap to the local hard drive.

       TIMEZONE
           string, default unset

           The timezone code for the thin client to use.

       TIMESERVER
           IP address, default unset

           The address of an NTP time server that the thin client can set it's time from. If
           unset, the thin client just uses the BIOS time.

       SHUTDOWN_TIME
           string, format hh:mm:ss in 24 hour format, default unset

           Time at which thin client will automatically shut down.

       LTSP_FATCLIENT
           boolean, default unset

           Enable Fat Client support. It's automatically enabled if any sessions exist in
           /usr/share/xsessions.

       FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD
           integer, default 300

           Disable fat client support if less RAM is present.

LTS.CONF - LOCAL DEVICES

       LOCALDEV
           boolean, default True

           This parameter enables local devices support, like CD's and USB sticks. Users plugging
           them in should see them on the desktop, after they've been allowed to access the FUSE
           subsystem on the server. Check your distibutions docs to see how this is done on your
           distribution.

       LOCALDEV_DENY_CD
           boolean, default False

           This parameter disables local device support for CD and DVD-rom devices.

       LOCALDEV_DENY_FLOPPY
           boolean, default False

           This parameter disables local device support for floppy devices.

       LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS
           boolean, default True

           This parameter disables local device support for internal ATA and SCSI hard disk
           devices.

       LOCALDEV_DENY_USB
           boolean, default False

           This parameter disables local device support for USB devices.

       LOCALDEV_DENY
           string, default unset

           This parameter disables local device support for devices matching certain patterns.
           Values are specified as a comma-separated list of sysfs attributes, which can be
           obtained by using udevadm info (or udevinfo). for example:

                                       udevadm info -q env -n /dev/hda
                                       ID_TYPE=disk
                                       ID_BUS=ata

           should return a list of the attributes relevent to /dev/hda. to exclude this disk and
           disks like it using LOCALDEV_DENY: LOCALDEV_DENY="ID_BUS:ata+ID_TYPE:disk" would match
           devices that were on the ata bus that were disks.

LTS.CONF - SCRIPTS AND MODULES

       MODULE_01...MODULE_10
           string, default unset

           Up to 10 kernel modules can be loaded by using these configuration entries. The entire
           command line that you would use when running insmod can be specified here. For
           example:

               MODULE_01 = uart401.o
               MODULE_02 = "sb.o io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1"
               MODULE_03 = opl3.o

           If the value of this parameter is an absolute path name, then insmod will be used to
           load the module. Otherwise, modprobe will be used.

           In normal circumstances, you shouldn't need to specify anything here, as most hardware
           will be auto-detected.

       RCFILE_01...RCFILE_10
           string, default unset

           Commands to be executed from /etc/rc.local when the client boots.

LTS.CONF - PRINTER PARAMETERS

       PRINTER_0_DEVICE
           string, default unset

           The device name of the printer. Valid device names such as /dev/lp0, or /dev/usblp0
           are allowed.

       PRINTER_0_PORT
           integer, default 9100

           The TCP/IP Port number to use for the print server.

       PRINTER_0_TYPE
           string, default unset

           Can either be set to P (for parallel), U (for USB) or S (for serial). Autodetected in
           most cases (except for serial).

       PRINTER_0_WRITE_ONLY
           boolean, default False

           Some parallel printers may need this set in order for the thin client to communicate
           to them properly. If you have problems with a parallel printer only printing part of
           the print job, try setting this to True.

       PRINTER_0_SPEED
           integer, default 9600

           Should be set to the baud rate of the printer (serial printers only).

       PRINTER_0_FLOWCTRL
           string, default unset

           Should be set to the flow control desired for the printer (serial printers only).

       PRINTER_0_PARITY
           boolean, default False

           Specifies whether parity should be enabled for the printer (serial printers only).

       PRINTER_0_DATABITS
           integer, default 8

           Specifies how many data bits for the printer (serial printers only).

       PRINTER_0_OPTIONS
           string, default unset

       LDM_PRINTER_LIST
           string, default unset

           Comma separated list of printers that will be displayed for that thin client (requires
           patched cups, included in Debian and Ubuntu).

       LDM_PRINTER_DEFAULT
           string, default unset

           Default printer for the thin client.

       SCANNER
           boolean, default unset

           This parameter enables scanners for the thin client.

LTS.CONF - KEYBOARD PARAMETERS

       CONSOLE_KEYMAP
           A valid console keymap, default en

           Allows you to specify a valid console keymap for TELNET_HOST sessions.

LTS.CONF TOUCHSCREEN PARAMETERS

       USE_TOUCH
           Enable touchscreen

           default <unset>, Enable touchscreen

           X_TOUCH_DEVICE     Path to device       /dev/ttyS0    set device for
                                                                 touchscreen
           X_TOUCH_DRIVER     Touchscreen driver   elographics   set driver for
                                                                 touchscreen
           X_TOUCH_MAXX       integer              3588          Xmax
           X_TOUCH_MAXY       integer              3526          Ymax
           X_TOUCH_MINX       integer              433           Xmin
           X_TOUCH_MINY       integer              569           Ymin
           X_TOUCH_UNDELAY    integer              10            Untouch delay
           X_TOUCH_RTPDELAY   integer              10            Repeat touch delay

SOUND AND VOLUME CONTROL PARAMETERS

       These parameters allow you to control the volume on the thin client.

       SOUND
           boolean, default True

           This parameter enables sound for the thin client.

       SOUND_DAEMON
           string, default pulse

           This parameter sets which sound daemon to use on the thin client. Values are esd,
           nasd, and pulse (default).

       VOLUME
           integer, default 90

           This represents an integer percentage of the volume, ranging from 0 to 100%.

       HEADPHONE_VOLUME
           integer, default unset

           This represents an integer percentage of the headphone volume, ranging from 0 to 100%.

       PCM_VOLUME
           integer, default unset

           This represents an integer percentage of the PCM volume, ranging from 0 to 100%.

       CD_VOLUME
           integer, default unset

           This represents an integer percentage of the CD input volume, ranging from 0 to 100%.

       FRONT_VOLUME
           integer, default unset

           This represents an integer percentage of the front speaker volume, ranging from 0 to
           100%.

       MIC_VOLUME
           integer, default unset

           This represents an integer percentage of the microphone input volume, ranging from 0
           to 100%.

LTS.CONF - XORG PARAMETERS

       These parameters affect how Xorg behaves.

       USE_XFS
           boolean, default False

           Instructs the thin client to look at the XFS_SERVER option, and use XFS for serving
           fonts.

       XFS_SERVER
           IP address, default unset

           If you are using an X Font Server to serve fonts, then you can use this entry to
           specify the IP address of the host that is acting as the font server. If this is not
           specified, it will use the default server, which is specified with the SERVER entry
           described above.

       CONFIGURE_X
           If you want to be able to configure the individual settings of the X configuration
           file, without having the X automatically configure the graphics card for you, you must
           enable this option. By default this option is turned off. To turn it on do:

               CONFIGURE_X = True

           You don't need this option just for keyboard and mouse settings. It corresponds to the
           graphic card and monitor options only.

       X_CONF
           string, default unset

           If you want to create your own complete X.org config file, you can do so and place it
           in the /opt/ltsp/<arch>/etc/X11 directory. Then, whatever you decide to call it needs
           to be entered as a value for this configuration variable. For example: X_CONF =
           /etc/X11/my-custom-xorg.conf Note that for the thin client, you reference it from
           /etc/X11.

       X_RAMPERC
           default '100', Percentage of RAM for X server

           Some programs allocate a large amount of ram in the X.org server running on your thin
           client. Programs like Firefox and Evince can use up so much ram, that they eventually
           exhaust all your physical ram, and NBD swap, causing your thin client to crash. If you
           find your clients being booted back to a login prompt, or freezing up when viewing
           certain PDF's or web pages, this may be the problem.

           The X_RAMPERC variable stands for X RAM PERCent, and is a number between 0 and 100
           that specifies how much of the free space on your thin client X.org is allowed to
           consume. You'll generally want to set it at something lower than 100 percent, if
           you're having problems. Experimentation has shown a value between 80 and 90 will
           usually keep the terminal alive. What will then happen is the program consuming the
           memory will die, as opposed to the thin client itself. If you're having unexplained
           terminal problems, specifying:

           X_RAMPERC = 80

           in your lts.conf file may improve things.

       X_VIRTUAL
           string, default unset

           If you want to have a virtual screen which is larger than the physical screen on your
           thin client, you would configure that by providing a string of the form "width height"
           in this parameter, similar to the xorg.conf format.

       XDM_SERVER
           IP address, default unset

           If you're using the older startx screen script, and need to specify a different XDMCP
           server, then you can specify the server here. If this parameter is NOT specified, then
           it will use the SERVER parameter described above.

       XSERVER
           You can use this parameter to override which X server the thin client will run. For
           PCI and AGP video cards, this parameter should not be required. The thin client should
           normally be able to auto-detect the card.

           If, for some reason you do need to manually set it, here are some valid values:

           ark, ati, atimisc, chips, cirrus_alpine cirrus, cirrus_laguna, cyrix, dummy, fbdev
           fglrx, glint, i128, i740, i810, imstt, mga, neomagic, newport, nsc, nv, r128, radeon,
           rendition, riva128, s3, s3virge, savage, siliconmotion, sis, sisusb, tdfx, tga,
           trident, tseng, v4l, vesa, vga, via, vmware, voodoo

       X_MOUSE_DEVICE
           string, default unset

           This is the device node that the mouse is connected to. If it is a serial mouse, this
           would be a serial port, such as /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1. This is not needed for PS/2
           or USB mice, as they are auto-detected.

       X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL
           Should be auto-detected. However, valid entries include:

           sunkbd, lkkbd, vsxxxaa, spaceorb, spaceball, magellan, warrior, stinger, mousesystems,
           sunmouse, microsoft, mshack, mouseman, intellimouse, mmwheel, iforce, h3600ts,
           stowawaykbd, ps2serkbd, twiddler, twiddlerjoy

       X_MOUSE_EMULATE3BTN
           boolean, default unset

           Normally unset, may need to be set to Y for certain 2 button mice.

       X_NUMLOCK
           boolean, default False

           If this variable is set to True, then the numlock key will be defaulted to on when the
           terminal boots. Note that the numlockx command must be installed in the chroot for
           this to work.

       X_COLOR_DEPTH
           Integer: 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 default unset

           This is the number of bits to use for the colour depth. Possible values are 8, 16, 24
           and 32. 8 bits will give 256 colours, 16 will give 65536 colours, 24 will give 16
           million colours and 32 bits will give 4.2 billion colours! Not all X servers support
           all of these values. The default for thin clients is 16 in order to minimize network
           bandwidth, while for fat clients the X server default is used.

       X_SMART_COLOR_DEPTH
           boolean, default True

           If set, thin clients no longer default to 16 bit colour depth but use the X server
           default instead.

       X_HORZSYNC
           min-max values

           This sets the X.org HorizSync configuration parameter. This should be auto-detected
           for your monitor, however, if you want to force a lower resolution, use this parameter
           to do so.

       X_VERTREFRESH
           min-max values

           This sets the X.org VertRefresh configuration parameter. This should be auto-detected
           for your monitor. If you need to force a lower resolution, use this parameter to do
           so.

       X_VIDEO_RAM
           string, default unset

           This sets the X.org VideoRam configuration parameter. The setting is in kilobytes.
           This should be auto-detected for your monitor. If you need to force a different video
           ram setting, use this parameter to do so.

       X_OPTION_01...X_OPTION_12
           A valid Device option

           This allows you to specify Option settings in the xorg.conf file, to add options to
           the video driver. A common use for this will be to test turning off acceleration in
           your driver, if you're having trouble. An example usage would be:

               X_OPTION_01 = "\"NoAccel\"" X_OPTION_02 = "\"AnotherOption\" \"True\""

           You probably won't need these except in special circumstances.

       X_MONITOR_OPTION_01...X_MONITOR_OPTION_10
           string, default unset

           A valid Monitor option, that would normally be used in an xorg.conf file.

       X_MODE_0, X_MODE_1, and X_MODE_2
           string, default unset

           These set the X.org ModeLine configuration. For example, if your thin client comes up
           in a higher resolution than what you want, say, 1280x1024, specifying:

               X_MODE_0 = 1024x768

           should get your desired resolution on startup.

           X_MODE_* require XRANDR_DISABLE=True to work. For drivers that support XRANDR, the
           XRANDR_MODE_* variabled are preferred. See the XRANDR section.

       X_BLANKING
           A positive integer

           When set, X_BLANKING will cause DPMS standby to activate after the number of seconds
           provided. If the monitor does not support DPMS, then the blanking screensaver will
           activate. If X_BLANKING is set to 0, the monitor will remain on indefinitely. NOTE:
           This does not apply to the xdmcp or startx screen script. Also, server-side Xclients
           such as power managers and screensavers may override this setting.

LTS.CONF OPTIONS - XRANDR OPTIONS

       XRANDR_COMMAND_0 ... XRANDR_COMMAND_9
           string, default unset

           Full xrandr command to run when X starts. They're useful to define and add custom
           modes, for example:

               XRANDR_COMMAND_0="xrandr --newmode 1024x600 49.00 1024 1072 1168 1312 600 603 613 624 -hsync +vsync"
               XRANDR_COMMAND_1="xrandr --addmode VGA1 1024x600"
               XRANDR_COMMAND_2="xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x600"

           You can use cvt to find the correct timings for new modes.

       XRANDR_DISABLE
           boolean, default False

           Disables XRANDR output handling so that the older X_MODE_0 way of setting resolution
           works. This is useful on older Xorg drivers that don't support XRANDR.

       XRANDR_OUTPUT_0 ... XRANDR_OUTPUT_8
           string, default unset

           Define xrandr output - can also be used for multihead positioning

       XRANDR_MODE_0 ... XRANDR_MODE_8
           string, default unset

           Valid video mode resolution. Sets mode for corresponding output.

       XRANDR_NEWMODE_0 ... XRANDR_NEWMODE_8
           string, default unset

           Specifies a valid modeline for a corresponding output.

       XRANDR_RATE_0 ... XRANDR_RATE_8
           string, default unset

           Sets refresh rate for the corresponding output.

       XRANDR_DPI_0 ... XRANDR_DPI_8
           string, default unset

           Sets the DPI for the corresponding output.

       XRANDR_ROTATE_0 ... XRANDR_ROTATE_8
           string, default unset

           Sets the rotation for the corresponding output.

       XRANDR_REFLECT_0 ... XRANDR_REFLECT_8
           string, default unset

           Sets the reflection for the corresponding output.

       XRANDR_SIZE_0 ... XRANDR_SIZE_8
           string, default unset

           Sets the resolution for the corresponding output (for xrandr <1.2).

       XRANDR_ORIENTATION_0 ... XRANDR_ORIENTATION_8
           string, default unset

           Sets the orientation for the corresponding output (for xrandr <1.2).

LTS.CONF OPTIONS - SCREEN SCRIPTS

       SCREEN_01...SCREEN_12
           string, default ldm

           Up to 12 screen scripts can be specified for a thin client. This will give you up to
           12 sessions on the thin client, each accessible by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-F1 through
           Ctrl-Alt-F12 keys.

           Currently, possible values include: kiosk, ldm, menu, rdesktop (deprecated), shell,
           ssh, startx (deprecated), telnet, xdmcp, xfreerdp, xterm

           Look in the $CHROOT/usr/share/ltsp/screen.d directory for more scripts, or write your
           own, and put them there.

       TELNET_HOST
           IP address, default unset

           If the thin client is setup to have a character based interface, then the value of
           this parameter will be used as the host to telnet into. If this value is NOT set, then
           it will use the value of SERVER above.

LTS.CONF OPTIONS - LDM OPTIONS

       LDM_AUTOLOGIN
           boolean, default False

           This option allows the thin client to login automatically without the need for a
           username and password. To set it set

               LDM_AUTOLOGIN = True

           for the corresponding thin client. This will attempt to log in the thin client with
           username = hostname and password = hostname. You can also set a user and password with
           LDM_USERNAME and LDM_PASSWORD variables.

       LDM_DEBUG_TERMINAL
           boolean, default False

           Opens a local terminal after login for debugging purposes.

       LDM_DIRECTX
           boolean, default False

           This is arguably the most important LDM option, as it allows you to turn off the
           encrypted X tunnel via SSH, and instead run a less secure, but much faster unencrypted
           tunnel. Users who have slower thin clients will want to set this to True. It is set to
           True by default in Fedora.

       LDM_GUESTLOGIN
           boolean, default False

           This option places a GUEST LOGIN button underneath the entry field for username and
           password. To set it set

               LDM_GUESTLOGIN = True

           for the corresponding thin client. You can also set a user and password with

               LDM_USERNAME = John

           and

               LDM_PASSWORD = secret

           , although not setting these will default to the hostname of the thin client.

       LDM_GUEST_SERVER
           string, default unset

           This is a space-separated list of available servers where guest logins are available.
           The first server in the list will be the default guest login server unless the user
           selects another from the preferences menu at login time.

       LDM_USER_ALLOW
           string

           This option allows you to give access to certain thin clients based on the username
           set in /etc/passwd. For example, thin client A should only be used by Jane, Bob, and
           Fred, while thin client B is to be used by Harry only. By adding these options to the
           corresponding mac addresses you allow or deny access to the thin clients in question.
           Example:

               [thin:client:A:mac:address]
               LDM_USER_ALLOW = Jane,Bob,Fred
               [thin:client:B:mac:adddress]
               LDM_USER_ALLOW = Harry

       LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT
           integer

           This lets LDM automatically login after the set amount of time in seconds. If you
           specify this option, then do not specify LDM_AUTOLOGIN. Use it in this format:

               [thin:client:mac:address]
               LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT = 25

           Note that you will need to also set LDM_GUESTLOGIN=True for LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT to be
           useful.

       LDM_USERNAME
           string, default unset

           This is the username that LDM will use for autologin.

       LDM_PASSWORD
           string, default unset

           This is the password that LDM will use for autologin.

       LDM_SYSLOG
           boolean, default False

           Normally, LDM logs to a simple file on the thin client, namely /var/log/ldm.log. This
           has the advantage of being fast, but the disadvantage of being hard to read for the
           administrator in the event of a problem, as the administrator must either spawn a
           shell screen session, or enable root login in tty1. By setting this option to "True",
           you can log up to the server if you've enabled your server's syslog for remote
           logging.

       LDM_SERVER
           string, default unset

           This is a space-separated list of available servers for LDM to log into. The first
           server in the list will be the default server unless the user selects another from the
           preferences menu at login time.

       LDM_LANGUAGE
           string, default unset

           This allows the system administrator to override the default locale settings on the
           server by setting the environment variables LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_ALL at login.

           Use the LANG variable to set the default locale for LDM's user interface.

       LDM_FORCE_LANGUAGE
           string, default unset

           Same as LDM_LANGUAGE, but it overrides any previously user selected language and it
           even hides the LDM language selection menu.

       LDM_SSHOPTIONS
           string

           Allows you to specify custom options to the ssh sessions started between LDM and the
           server.

       SSH_OVERRIDE_PORT
           integer, default unset

           If you run your ssh server different from the defult, you may set the port the thin
           client will use with this parameter.

       SSH_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS
           boolean, default unset

           Causes sshfs mounted filesystems for local applications to follow symlinks. By default
           it's false for symlinks under $HOME and true for any LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS.

       LDM_SESSION
           string, default unset

           Used to chose the default session on the server, for example:

               LDM_SESSION="gnome-fallback"

           You can find the list of services that your server provides in /usr/share/xsessions.

           If the user has selected a specific session though LDM or another DM in the past,
           that's stored in his ~/.dmrc, and it overrides the default session.

       LDM_FORCE_SESSION
           string, default unset

           Same as LDM_SESSION, but it overrides any previously selected sessions by the user and
           it even hides the LDM session selection menu.

       LDM_XSESSION
           string, default Xsession

           Allows you to specify custom script on the server for LDM to run, rather than the
           server's standard script for starting an X session (usually Xsession).

       LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION
           boolean, default False

           Only allow a given user to log into one thin-client at a time.

       LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION_PROMPT
           boolean, default False

           Prompt to kill processes of other logins when other logins are detected. Requires
           LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION to be set.

       LDM_THEME
           string, default unset

           Specify the name of the LDM theme. It can reference a directory in
           /usr/share/ldm/themes, or be specified as a full path to the theme dir (both relative
           to the chroot).

           To use the theme in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes/MYTHEME, you'd specify:

               LDM_THEME=MYTHEME

           In your lts.conf file.

           Alternately, To use the theme in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/MYTHEME, you'd specify:

               LDM_THEME=/etc/MYTHEME

           In your lts.conf file.

LOCAL APPLICATIONS

       LOCAL_APPS
           boolean, default True

           Enables support for running local apps on the thin client.

       LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS
           string, default unset

           This parameter enables extra mount points to be mounted on the thin client with sshfs.
           This require a commas separated list of directory.

       LOCAL_APPS_MENU
           boolean, default False

           Enables overriding of menu items from remote (server) applications. If this is set to
           True, local applications in the users menu will be used instead of the applications on
           the server.

       LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS
           string, default unset

           This item should contain a comma separated list of application names as they appear on
           their .desktop files.

       LOCAL_APPS_WHITELIST
           string, default unset

           Used to allow only specified space-separated commands to be run as local apps, allow
           all is default if unset. Full-paths are required for each command. No spaces in the
           names are allowed.

NOTES

       When using NBD to export the client image (the default in Ubuntu), lts.conf is fetched via
       TFTP, so lts.conf should go in the TFTP directory, for example
       dvar/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf. For distributions that use NFS, the traditional
       lts.conf place is /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf, although in recent versions it can be
       fetched via TFTP as well.
