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.

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)
