hi all i need to install microsoft office onto an ltsp ubuntu 10.04 installation. has anyone done this before?
i need a "1 install for all users" kind of wine environment, as the standard is for each user to have their own .wine profile directory with their own software. i figured i could just move .wine into a shared directory, and then create symlinks in every users home dir. something seems to have gone amiss though. i set the group ownership of my shared .wine to users, and made sure all my users are part of the "users" group. set 775 on the whole shared .wine directory, and created the symlink in a users directory to .wine. if i goto applications > wine > browse c: drive, it shows me the contents of the shared .wine directory. but if i actually try and run anything i just get the little timer spinning around. i tried running from command line and it tells me "wine: /home/user/.wine is not owned by you" sure enough if i set ownership on it all to the logged in user it works. but thats no good when i need it for all users. any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the two and get a better understanding. http://p.sf.net/sfu/hp-phase2-d2d _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
