Created a vm with bridged adapter and network boot no harddisk
client no march.
rebooted ltsp server machine
retrying client
ltsp partial was running on host machine. apt-get remove ltsp and apt-get remove ipxe done on host machine.
removed dns-masq from host machine. TFTP finally not on port 69
added second network card on ltsp vm server. Set fixed IP 192.168.67.1
then executed
root@mx:~# ltsp dnsmasq –proxy-dhcp=0 Installed /usr/share/ltsp/server/dnsmasq/ltsp-dnsmasq.conf in /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-dnsmasq.conf Restarted dnsmasq root@mx:~#
running ltsp image / and ltsp ipxe to see if it sets the server ( update running config )
ltsp image / ( this command takes a long time and might not be required )
next time just use ltsp ipxe
set both ltsp server and ltsp client VMs to connect to internal network for networking.
So the ltsp client shall see the ltsp server instead of the WLAN0 card and shall avoid the WIFI DHCP.

ufw disable
this seems to have worked. ufw disable is not in the documentation. Needed for MX linux
now testing with wlan0
server set to 192.168.67.1 via wlan0 bridge.
