HI P Knight
so...
the problem with vlc and in general with LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS = vlc
is solved.
the problem was that i log in in the thin client with the same user who is on
the server.
was enough to create a new user and login from thin clients
and everything 'went ok.
second problem ..
i have a ion machine. zotac 2 core atom with 2GB ram
I think it is a good solution for a fat client.
but .. there is a program .. a cad cam program ( heekscad )
that uses a lot of CPU power when make a job.
and a 2core atom il too bad for these,
imho would be better to use the power of the server CPU
but if i make a fat client .. the program, heekscad, rightly
disappearsfrom the menu
because
is not in the chroot.
then asked if there was a way to invoke the heekscad from fatclient
to the server....
otherwise ok ... I leave everything in thinclient, and only move a few
things in chroot
and do the localapps ( ltsp-localapps nameprograminchroot)
