<title>Description</title>
<para>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>]</para>
<para>You may also name an arbitrary section with a name, with settings
underneath that section. You may then inherit that section with the
<varname>LIKE</varname> variable. The Example section has an illustration
of this.</para>
<para>boolean values are specified by 'Y,y,True,true' for true and
'N,n,False,false' for false</para>

<term><varname>X_RAMPERC</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>integer, default <emphasis>100</emphasis></para>
<para>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 <command>Firefox</command> and
<command>Evince</command> 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.</para>
<para>The <varname>X_RAMPERC</varname> 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:</para>
<para>X_RAMPERC = 80</para>
<para>in your <filename>lts.conf</filename> file may improve

<para>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 <filename>dvar/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf</filename>. For
distributions that use NFS, the traditional lts.conf place is
<filename>/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf</filename>, although in recent
versions it can be fetched via TFTP as well.</para>
