Re: [Ltsp-discuss] A "Good" File Manager

2005-06-21 Thread nigel barker
Have you tried konqueror? It starts without the left frame, but you can quickly get it with an F9. I use it mainly becuase it launches faster than nautilus, and it will preview photos and those other kind of things that simpler file managers don't do. Plus it doesn't do that annoying "open everythi

I have LTSP server and some clients using japanese keyboards. I don`t need any japanese characters, I just want to use the jp layout. So according to my reading I just put: XkbLayout = "jp" into lts.conf for the terminals in question. Only it doesn`t work. All terminals come up with the de

many KDE apps fail to run on the clients, even though they run just fine on the server display They pop up briefly, then the KDE crash panel flashes on and itself disappears, leaving the user wondering if his app is going to start or not. even Kterm does this, along with others such as Kpaint and
