I'm running LTSP 5.2.1 and tried to use the ltsp-remoteapps on one of my clients and it didn't start the application. Here is what I did:
On the thin client: Opened up a terminal $ ltsp-localapps xterm With in xterm window $ ltsp-remoteapps gnome-terminal Do I have to get a more recent version of LTSP or is the ltsp-remoteapps not working at all yet?
