Re: [Ltsp-discuss] How is graphics divided between server and thin client?

Quoting James McQuillan: Lachele, I'll try and explain how the graphics works in a thin client environment. snip I've been focusing most of my rather limited time on running things on the thin client. To me, everything is moving towards being web-based and the thin client is becoming a

Hi there!Been running LTSP for quite a few yrs now, and so far it haven't been necessary for me to do any windows redirection setups.But now, I got a client who wants me to setup a quite complex environment for him. He wants a system that he can reach both local and remote, and it looks like I can

In a response to Jim a day or so ago, I gave reasons why localapps can't solve all our problems. To recap that, a brief example: The programs that generate our graphics can, for the large systems we treat, fill the 3-4 GB of RAM available on a client. While we could potentially move some things

What I need is to redirect the USB/bluetooth communication to the windows server, because the application to run the service is a windows application. So is that not possible? I believe I can do that in thinlinc, but I would prefer to use LTSP.Rgrds Johan-asmo.koski...@arkki.info skrev:

There are instantly two solutions that come into my mind. LTSP runs on some Linux system and is able to connect USB devices, but you need a Windows app, so: 1. Does the application run under Wine? This would be the most direct way to connect the application with a USB communcation stream on

Hi Lachele! Opengl commands are sent over the network and executed by the client. Even on gigabit, the latency is probably very high compared to local execution. Virtualgl promises to solve that problem - and its wikipedia article is a good read on the topic! Best regards, Jakob Am 05.03.2013

I read the Wikipedia article and I searched virtualgl ltsp. It looks good! I believe that virtualgl is not being used in ltsp. Am I correct? Is this something a mere user like me can add? (I'm a chemist, and I can spell computer graphics.) If not, is it likely to be added by someone more
