Sorry guys,
I really have checked google.com for days now, but the result until
now is negativ. My problem is, how can I connect a headset and a
webcam to my LTSP-Terminals?
Assuming that you are not a hardcore free software user - have you had a
look at munas at http://www.advancedthintech.com/news/index_en.htm
I haven't tried it myself - but I have heard of other people who had
good things to say about it.
I know, there is a sound-package and sound is a well known problem
with linux. But until now I was not able to fix it. Ether there is no
sound or the sound sounds terrible at the workstation. I've tried
ALSA, OSS and ESD, I've tried to start Skype with 'esd skype', but
it's all the same: terrible or not working! I have tried NASD, the
same. And the result after google.de, all the people have the same
problem.
Some people claim to have solved the sound problem with LTSP (without
resorting to munas) having produced more than horrible scrathing noises
on the client. These achievements are not well documented though and
just how well they scale is also not clear.
I really like LTSP, but the soundproblem realy should be fixed. I'm a
german and I live in the Philippines since one year now. Here in Davao
City we have arround the 300!!! Cybercafes with arround 3000!!
computers, all with Windows (pirated Windows!) and soooo many people
would like to change to Linux, but the people here can not live
without "Rice, cellphone, Sound and a webCam"!
I'm using LTSP in an Internet cafe setup - but only for business
applications, email and browsing because that is what LTSP in its
present guise is very is good at.
I'm 100% sure, if sound and webcam will work, this will be the next
big step fir the LTSP project. And I am sure too, I am not the only
one, who is interested to get an answer for this question.
You can rest assured there is a lot of interest in a full multimedia
capability for LTSP, especially for icafe's and schoollabs - and the
munsa project seems to indicate that it can be done - it has just not
been a priority up to now.
