Re: [Ltsp-discuss] KDE upate! (i broke it)
Matt- I want to have the clock on the logon screen (it just looks nice) What do I have to put in the config file to make it a clock? Are you saying that the Control Center (kcontrol) running as root will not allow you to modify the KDM screen?? I'm using KDE 2.2.2 on SuSE 7.2 and it works fine and modifies the right file. If it's not working, why not use the information provided by Martin Herweg and do something like this: rm /opt/kde2/share/config/kdmrc ln -s /opt/kde2/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde2/share/config/kdmrc or the other way around, so that regardless of which location kcontrol tries to modify, it will get the kdmrc file. Right now it has this LogoArea=Kdelogo I want it to be a clock Mine says LogoArea=Clock And can I make this a different clock (while I'm at it I digital one would be cool) If kcontrol doesn't provide the option, it probably doesn't exist.

If it's not working, This is what my kdmrc says about using kcontrol (might have changed in 2.2.2, I'm using 2.2-3): # KDM configuration example. # Note, that all comments will be lost if you change this file with # the kcontrol frontend. So kcontrol *will* edit kdmrc. If you look at the parameters in the original kdmrc, kcontrol does not seem to be using all the features. And it overwrites the original file, does not parse and change. -- Mvh Ragnar Wisløff Fri Agenda/LinuxLabs Tlf 90 89 41 52 _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Netscape problem on terminals
Hugo, Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 11:25:42 -0600 (CST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Prolinux?= [EMAIL PROTECTED] I need your help solving netscape run away on ltsp terminals, it runs away so often without freeing cpu. I am using Pentium 75 with 16Mb and 500Mb HD as terminals and I would like to either replace netscape with konqueror, mozilla or galeon, but with java support, or use netscape as a local application (if my current hardware could support it). Any suggestion? I've run into problems with Java and Linux web browsers myself. That's what usually causes Netscape to run away on Linux, I think. You will have trouble finding a combination of browser and Java versions to correctly load the website you are looking at. 16MB is barely enough to run X-Windows. You would need at least 32MB on each workstation (64 would be better) to run netscape locally. If you're using the 500MB HDs for swap, however, then 32MB is fine. I think the stations would run really slowly with only 16MB, though. They would be swapping constantly! I am using mandrake 8.1 and made some attempts to download different versions of jre (java runtime environment) to setup either konqueror or mozilla to use java plugins but without success, when I load web pages that need java support they come incomplete, but netscape works fine on them. Could someone try latinchat.com and tell me if chatting is posible with a different browser than netscape? I just tried the latest jre's from Sun and IBM with Mozilla 0.9.6 and the chat site Java Lite applet didn't load. I think you are stuck with Netscape, in which case there are a couple things you can do to fix the running away problem: 1) Install verynice. It is a dynamic process renicer. It will automatically give runaway processes a lower and lower priority (higher and higher niceness level) until they reach a certain threshold after which it will attempt to kill the processes off using various kill signals. Make sure you setup the /etc/verynice.conf file the way you want. It can be configured to ignore certain processes or to pay special attention to certain processes (this is what you want). The link is http://tam.cornell.edu/~sdh4/verynice/ and there is an RPM package and installation instructions. I've used this package with much success. 2) You could download my kludge of shell scripts from the LTSP contrib page http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/index.php and run the main script (sickem) out of cron. It is not nearly as elegant as verynice, but it also gets the job done. Jason _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

We want to run apps locally but we have problem with mounting directories like /lib, /usr, etc. All of them have entry points in /etc/export and we can mount them from normal Linux box. But when we get to the point when diskless PC tries to mount them, we have problems. Problems are different depending on kernel we are booting from network. We even compiled latest 2.4.16 and tried to run it on both DHCP/TFTP server and diskless PC, still doesn't work. I just wanted to ask if somebody used LOCAL_APPS=Y and if it works in practice?

[Ltsp-discuss] Compiling LTSP kernels
I've been trying to compile a custom kernel based on 2.4.9 and it etherboots fine and even mounts the root file system fine. Right after that it says Freeing unused kernel memory 214K and then it ends with warning: unable to open initial console. Did I miss something when I configured the kernel? Isn't it supposed to run the init process and do what it says in /etc/inittab? If anybody has had any success compiling the 2.4.9 kernel I could use some hints. Perhaps you could send me a copy of your kernel config file? Thanks in advance! Hans _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

However, it looks like mknbi-linux that was used to create kernel file was the one that has bug that Conrad Lawes described: We had the same error after TFTP server transferred the file. After that we downloaded and tried to compile 2.4.9 kernel. We took configuration that comes with ltsp_initrd_kit package. But after checking configuration file we found that kernel level auto configuration, BOOTP/DHCPD are not supported. Is it OK? Can we use this file as a template to compile our kernel?
