Xavier, rdesktop is simply a command-line rdp client for Linux. The "rdesktop screen script" in LTSP just makes it easy to run rdesktop in fullscreen mode instead of LDM. Since rdesktop is already in the chroot and localapps is already enabled by default, you can run "ltsp-localapps rdesktop...." automatically without any change to your set up.
When you run "ltsp-localapps rdesktop ....", rdesktop will launch *on the client* (where the serial and parallel ports are), so rdesktop's built-in redirection capability will do all the work for you. rdesktop also has a seamlessrdp mode, which does not work, well, seamlessly on Ubuntu due to some patches that they apply, but will launch a single application. Run "man rdesktop" to see all of your options. When running rdesktop as a local app, the client does need a route to the Windows server (but not necessarily the other way around). If your Windows server is on a different subnet, the easiest thing to do is to set up ip forwarding and NAT on the LTSP server. Still much easier than coding up your own redirection of character devices to tcp/ip. :) -Gadi On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 10:09 AM, Xavier Brochard <xav...@alternatif.org> wrote: > I wasn't clear: > I thought that this kind of setup works only if I use a rdesktop screen > session on the client. > > Second point: what if I want to put the virtualized windows on its own > network? as resktop work as a local app I will need to setup a route on the > server? > > thanks > xavier > > Le samedi 8 janvier 2011 13:09:09 Xavier Brochard, vous avez écrit : >> Thank you very much Gadi! >> I thought rdp wouldn't work because the ltsp client will use linux, and >> access only one windows app (seamlessly) by rdp. >> Will it work in this case? >> >> xavier >> >> Le vendredi 7 janvier 2011 22:15:43 Gideon Romm, vous avez écrit : >> > Or, much easier: >> > >> > Run: >> > >> > ltsp-localapps rdesktop -r comport.... <windows_ip> >> > >> > Done. >> > >> > -Gadi >> > >> > On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 3:39 PM, Xavier Brochard <xav...@alternatif.org> >> >> wrote: >> > > Hello >> > > >> > > I need to forward serial, parallel and usb ports from one ltsp client >> > > to a virtualized Windows system setup on the ltsp server. >> > > >> > > My idea is to forward the ports to a tcp ports, like for a printer >> > > device, with the jetpipe ltsp utility.
