There was an add on cd for Edubuntu. It was burned to a cd and all we had to do was upload it from the cd to the admin computer and it went on to all of the thin client computers.

Setting up x11vnc

After we had all the thin clients runnign from the admin computer we wanted to set up the x11vnc program. This program allows the admin computer to view the thin clients screens, making sure the students/workers are doing what they are supposed to. In order to install x11vnc we had to run a series of commands in the terminal. On the admin computer, we had to put in the following in the terminal:

-sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386

-apt-get install x11vnc

-vi /etc/rc.local

-x11vnc -display :6 -forever -bg

-cd /etc/rc2.d

-mv K99rc.local S99rc.local

After all this was put in we had to reboot the thin clients and the admin computer and we were able to run x11vnc on the thin clients, enabling the admin computer to view what the thin clients' screens.

Setting up Thin Clients

After we installed Edubuntu on to the admin computer, we had to configure the settings so we were able to run thin clients off of the server. We had to install about 57 updates onto the admin computer before we did anything. After we had all the updates installed, we had to open a terminal and run a list of commands. The commands were:

-sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/

-sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386

-apt-get update

-apt-get upgrade

After we ran these commands we had to reboot the admin computer and we were able to run thin clients from that computer.

Upload Netbeans for use on all clients

Here’s what Joe and we did to get netbeans 5.5 (NB) installed on the clients yesterday: - Opened a terminal - sudo su – - apt-get install netbeans5.5 - download the .tar.gz from the web site to /tmp (as per the instructions) - finished the install - reboot (maybe not necessary)

problems

WE have had problems with pretty much everything. Maybe its because we are not very computer smart...? We uploaded the Edubuntu multiple times before it finally work. That took us about a week. Then we had problems with getting the screens to show up on the admin computer because of x11vnc. So we finally got that uploaded after a few tries. But everything is working now.

uploaded Java and netbeans

We uploaded Netbeans and Java to the computers. At first it didn't work because we needed to upload Java first, so we did that and it worked after. Its only working on the server and not the clients. We are trying to get it to work on the clients too.
