Hello,
I hope this is the right forum, if not I apologize in advance. I have Ubuntu 14.04 (both server and desktop) as a virtual machine on VMware ESXi and have added LTSP. The server is set for 2 sockets with 4 cores each and has 16Gb of memory. Using the vmware client to access a console session from a remote host Ubuntu runs awesome, just like it is a local session. When I boot the thin client the performance goes down the drain. It literally can take 3-5 minutes just to boot to the desktop (on the thinclient) and trying to launch firefox can take just as long if not longer. I have been playing with this for at least a week and have reloaded everything multiple times. I cannot seem to get this lag out of the sytem. One more thing, I am using PFsense for routing and firewall, and watching traffic graphs within PFsense show the maximum momentary speed for the server/ thin client to be about 2Mbps but it is not a consistent speed, they will spike momentarily and then sit idle for a period of time.
I have reconfigured the network with no luck, I have run a network speed test on the network and get excellent result (86Mbps).
I am trying to setup my network to allow my 4 kids to each have a thin client, but if one is this sluggish I could only imagine what 4 would look like.
Any help or suggestions would be great,
Thanks in advance!
