Hello Community Gadi suggested that LDM can be used to launch full DE as a localapps, effectively making client a "fat" client. As a bonus we get all the goodness that LDM provides such as single point of authentication from the server without changing anything in the client image, local sound, printing etc.
Here is what we had to do to make IceWM available as a localapp via LDM. cat /usr/bin/localapps-icewm #!/bin/bash #ltsp-localapps icewm-session ltsp-localapps icewm-session zenity --info --text "Only Click OK if you want \n to log out from the session" Needed the zenity hack to keep the session alive otherwise it ended after ltsp-localapps command was run thinking localapps-icewm had exited. cat /usr/share/xsessions/localicewm.desktop [Desktop Entry] X-SuSE-translate=true Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=localapps-icewm Name=LocalIceWM GenericName=LocalIceWM Comment=A Windows 95-OS/2-Motif-like window manager On the clients LocalIceWM should now be available in LDM preference menu. Currently only Firefox and xterm are available, more applications can easily be added[1] according to the requirement. We already have IceWM installed in client image so the next release of openSUSE LTSP images will have this included :) Have a lot of fun... -J [1] http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Localapps ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
