Re: [Ltsp-discuss] true color mode

2006-11-02 Thread Todd Shoemaker
Denis- There are a couple of ways to handle this. For special-purpose use I create or modify an xorg.conf file and specify it in lts.conf for that terminal using XF86CONFIG_FILE=nvidia-xorg.conf. This gives the most control over the X configuration, but you should be able to specify the colo

Peter- Thanks for the link, very interesting; I didn't know about that tool. At first glance, putting esd support seems to make sense, but I wonder if putting SDL support would be better? That way, flash could run on any platform supported by SDL, including esd. Looking at the debian packag

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Working lts.conf file for using NFS swap

2006-11-02 Thread John P. New
Ashish, If you are using 4.2, NFS Swap will _not_ work. LTSP 4.2 uses NBD and the ltspswap daemon, a totally different system. The USE_NFS_SWAP and SWAPFILE_SIZE in your lts.conf will _not_ enable swap in 4.2, so you can remove those lines. Very roughly, to enable swap in 4.2, you have to: 1) On

Thanks John; I will try and let all know the results. I was trying NFS swap only which will not work with LTSP 4.2. Thanks for your valueable input. Thanks & regards Ashish Nabira Sun Microsystems Ph: +91 80 66930854 "Work is worship." John P. New wrote On 11/02/06 19:09,: > Ashish, > > If y

What is the objection to giving each user a root-owned symlink to libflashplayer.so? It would be fairly easy to write a script that sets it up. And then just add it to /etc/skel for future users. Petre Roy Souther wrote: > I have not had a chance to install Flashback yet and today the serve

I have the system setup right now to rsync the users home directory from /etc/skel any new files that I may have added or changed. When a user logs in the rsync runs then chown -R to give them control of the files. I don't like the idea of making "special exceptions" after a while I would find

I had a flashplayer plugin in the global directory but it was not the newest one. It was new enough for all the educational sites that the students in the school need to use Flash for but the advertising or some other Flash sites wanted the newer flashplayer module. I am going to put the newes

Flavio, Make sure that you are A. Booting to the proper image. Check to make sure it is definitely 2.6.17.3-ltsp-1 B. Get rid of /tftpboot in your dhcpd.conf file so it says just /lts/2.6.17.3-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0 and NOT /tftpboot/lts/2.6.17.3-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0 Let me know. -Paul -- Paul Va

Flavio, I noticed that you are missing a quote mark at the end of filename "/lts/2.6.17.3-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0. Is this an type error or is this directly from your .conf file. It needs to have a " after pxelinux.0 also. -Paul -- Paul VanGundy Director of Technology Epping School District P: 603
