I want to set up an LTSP client to run gnomemeeting and hopefully get the LTSP machines to be useful video conferencing stations. From Google there was some discussions suggesting that GnomeMeeting had to run on the thinclient.

I have a Logitech 4000 USB camera and it is plugged into the USB port of the thinclient. The thinclient connects to a Fedora linux server under X (gdm). Gnomemeeting or camstream can find no sign of the camera device.

If anyone is successfully doing this or has suggestion about a good way of getting it going I'd be most interested.



You had to run Gnome Meeting on the client. You must set DISPLAY variable to :0.0 so that you see the output on the worksation.
Have a look to the devices Gnome Meeting is looking for. You may change the default value because LTSP kernel use device fs.
I don't know how Gnome Meeting distribute the streams over the net - multicast addresses??. It may be necessary to add the special routings by route command to the thin client


In the same way I run vic on a thinclient that is not using LTSP but its own environment.
