Actually, with local apps, you should be able to do all. Printers are handled in the classic way, as JetDirect printers.
Scanners involves installing the sane backends in the chroot and running saned from inetd (installing inetd in the chroot, as well). That will enable all clients to share a single client's scanner. CD burning can be handled with a local application, such as xcdroast. Simply install in the chroot, make sure the users are in the correct group to access the cdburner, and run ltsp-localapps xcdroast. As long as the image they are burning is in their home directory, they should be good-to-go. (CD burning requires access to the raw device, which is why it could not be done in the past. With local apps, the app has direct access to the raw device. NOTE: It will still be burning over the network, meaning it will transfer, say, 700MB from the server. Keep that in mind). Sharing a single cd burner amongst the thin clients may be trickier, but still doable if you run the cd-burn-server as a local app on the machine with the burner. -Gadi On Tue, 2008-12-30 at 11:07 +0200, Asmo Koskinen wrote: > Andrew kirjoitti: > > > printer: yes > > For a printer you can start with this: > > http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#printer > > > scanner: yes > > For a scanner you can try it with a local app - xsane - and then use > xsane with a network. > > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSPLocalAppSetup > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo > > > cdwriter: don't know.
