Hello

Which windows programs do you run using wine? Once you have installed wine as a local app, does that mean all programs installed under it also run as local apps?


I use the wine version of Hot Potatoes from http://hotpot.uvic.ca/ (not the java version)


karel the robot see http://www.cs.mtsu.edu/~untch/karel/

This programs run more robust and faster than in normal mode (running on server) and I think they run as a local app. (I can not grep them by ""ps aux" in a localapp xterm . Only wine ! )


I also use a german ms-windows-based programm in school which needs with multimedial-data about 500 MB on harddisk. I installed it only in /home/wine (server) and not in every /home folder of every autologged-in-user.

So I need the ability of ltsp-localapp to have access to /home instead of access to / home/logged_in_user.

    Hello,

    I've found fatclient to be sufficient on 800mhz + 300mb+ (ram more
    important than cpu)

    I can confirm this (ram more important) .

    Testing with my clients some weeks ago : CPU  1GHz and 512 MB are
    enough to work fine as a (nubae) fat client.  (With 256 ram it was
    not possible in a good way)

    But in my classroom now I use a Intrepid-ltsp with local apps and
    the help from "GetMoreFromLocalApps"
    see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps

    localapps are : firefox vlc wine and the games "lbreakout2 pingus
    fillets"
    It is very easy and fast to install a new localapp and you instead
    of /home/logged_in_user (<- last one I noticed testing
    jaunty-ltsp, only access to)
    So I can use a folder named /home/wine for wine-windows-software
    where the localapp "wine" and all clients could access to.

    With openoffice - I think- it is no problem to let it run on the
    server.

    Jaunty is Ubuntu 9, I an running LTSP on 8.10 and trying the Nubae fat
    client approach.  This works but HIGHFAT is too much for the 2.4Ghz 256
    MB clients,

    OK. I'll do ltsp-localapps later today.
    I did that with VLC and AVI file.

    I did have NAT problem (because I have only one nic) when I did try
    to
    listen streaming radio with localapps VLC. But that is just me,
    localapps works just fine in Beta.
