Hmm... I have similar problem but with another program: we teach ANSYS in our lab (10-15 thin client). There is some kind of graphics or xlib related issue because it crashes when trying to initialize the GUI. I can only run it through launching a VNC server (tightvnc) for every client, and then the users should connect to the corresponding VNC window. However, it is a rather dirty "solution" (btw. the fonts used by ANSYS are quite miserable in VNC). I guess this bug is not strictly LTS (or ldm) related because when I open an X -query session to another machine that can run ANSYS on its own X server it crashes in the same manner, i.e. I cannot use it from a remote desktop. I tried to google this phenomenon, but did not find any hint... so the students run ANSYS through w*ndows rdesktop on the win2003 server. :-( -- Zsolt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
