Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Fwd: Unsupported Crossover (Wine) app installed in managed mode only runs as root.
Hi Krsnendu dasa, did you tell crossover to redirect sound to esd? I don't know where this option is located in cxoffice, but it can be selected easily in wineconfig panel. Actually it just modify a few reg keys in the user.reg or system.reg, so you may just edit by hand of there is no gui available.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Fwd: Unsupported Crossover (Wine) app installed in managed mode only runs as root.
Update: I put esd as the sound driver for Crossover. As a result: Root works fine on the thin clients with sound. The local user with administrative rights that was created at installation time works fine with sound. However: smbldap users don't work at all. another locally created user doesn't run properly. The program loads then freezes then works for a short while then freezes again. There is some sound. The rights for the main executable are root:root rwxr-xr-x I tried changing the owner and group of this file and it didn't seem to make any difference. Local admin user can run it fine as it is. The only difference I could see between admin user and other local user is membership of video group, but couldn't find an option to join that group. Neither admin or local user are members of the audio group. Any other clues about what changes could be made to allow other users to run the program like the local admin user? I feel we have made progress but we are not sure what to try next. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Ltsp-discuss] Fwd: Unsupported Crossover (Wine) app installed in managed mode only runs as root.
I am cross posting this to the ltsp lists as I got no response from the Crossover list and this software is essential for our school system which I need to get running by Monday. -- Forwarded message -- From: Krsnendu dasa [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 1 Oct 2007 13:12 Subject: Unsupported app installed in managed mode only runs as root. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am running Ubuntu Feisty and CXL 6.1 I have installed a multimedia program provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Education that is based on shockwave director. I installed it at home in single user mode and it runs well as on the main box as well as remotely with ltsp 5. When I went to install it at school I chose multiuser managed mode. The root can run the program no problem from the server (but not from a thin client.) For the end users (who are the ones who really matter), the program can be started but a system beep is heard and the program freezes when it starts. This is the same whether on the server or the thin client. I saw an error message box at one stage saying I/O error I guess it is a permissions problem but I don't know where to start. Can anyone offer any tips how to fix this problem? Thanks. Krsnendu dasa Update: If I wait a few minutes the program seems to respond temporarily before freezing again. The is no sound however and sound is essential. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
