Good info Jordan. I'll remove TCM. iTalc is actually working great!

Thin Client Manager is no longer supported, have a look at Italc, which allows for logging off remote users as well as desktop sharing and intra-thin client messaging sudo apt-get install italc-master italc-client Kind Regards, David Van Assche On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 12:42 AM, Mike White [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Is there a thin client manager (other than thin-client-manager-gnome) available?

Re: thin client manager
I did not have a chance to do this until yesterday. Rebuild went well, except now I have weird things happening. Luckily, only with TCM. On one user TCM works in reverse. When I instruct TCM to share screen with user Jimmy, a popup occurs on Jimmy's terminal, requesting share permission. (Backwards to the share screen popping up on the server.) Now on other users, TCM appears and I can see a small image (in the sections at the right) but, share screen just hangs and soon I am forcing TCM to quit. As I see that there is development in the TCM area on 8.04, I will wait to upgrade when that comes along. (Upgrading to long term 8.04 has been my plan during this development, anyway.) So, thanks for your help, Charles. Charles Austin wrote: On Jan 30, 2008 11:14 AM, Bob Wooden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have attempted the process you suggested. I have exited chroot.

After a reboot of the server (I'm sure you have done that), you may want to do a sudo ltsp-update-image just to make sure the clients are picking up the changes. I have not dug into the documents to determine exactly what this command does, but it magically fixed a few things for me. I have also noticed that I sometimes have to re-fresh the viewer in order to be able to see the desktops of logged in clients.

I have not tried anything with Gutsy yet. I fire up TCM every now and then to see if it magically works, but no magic. Sometimes I see users, sometimes I see the install x11vnc message, sometimes no message, but I never can view/control or see thumbnails and sometimes it locks up my session. My advice, give Roberts teachertool a try for now. Thanks, Jim. This turns out not to be the issue. The clients still cannot log in.

There is not a problem with TCM or the instructions online. The problem we were having was with Sabayon. Aptitude remove sabayon, the clients can log in. It is befuddling, but we also mount home over nfs, and we use /home/students, not just home. ? At any rate, I find that it works. Sorry for the confusion. Now, I do have to use the -auth switch, but that is when I log in remotely to the server. It was part of what I was doing last night when things broke. The server I help with is an hour away, 1.5 hours with traffic, and it sits behind a firewall. From home I type this to log into the firewall box and forward VNC traffic ssh -L 5900:IPADDRESSOFSERVER:5900 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and on the Edubuntu 7.10 LTSP server I type this, with -auth, to start the vnc server. sudo x11vnc -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -shared -forever -display :0 -auth is apparently important if a user is not already logged in. From my workstation I launch a vncviewer and connect to localhost. The connection is securely tunneled across Oahu to the server in the classroom. I still get disconnected and have to restart x11vnc after logging in, but it works. I can then view client desktops, also using x11vnc, with TCM. --scott -- edubuntu-users mailing list edubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users

Re: Thin-client manager not working - UPDATE
Hi David
This a script which is working for me. These are manual steps, may is
simple to follow them:
1.) download libxdamage, x11vnc packages from the packages.ubuntu.com
2.) copy these packages to /opt/ltsp/i386/
cp libxdamage
cp x11vnc*.deb /opt/ltsp/i386
cp libxdamage*.deb /opt/ltsp/i386
3.1) install these packages
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
dpkg -i libxdamage*.deb
dpkg -i x11vnc*.deb
3.2) close the console and open a new one.
4.) clean up these files
rm /opt/ltsp/i386/libxdamage*.deb
rm /opt/ltsp/i386/x11vnc*.deb
5.) Add this line to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.local
x11vnc -display :6 -forever -loop
6.) ensure that rc.local get started during booting.
mv /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc2.d/K99rc.local /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local
After that, restart the thin clients, now you should be able to see the
clients in thin client manager.
Like I wrote in a previous email, I decided not use these features,
because thin client manager is more often freezing than before and also
I am afraid that these will slow done the network!
Good luck!
