Eric H. integrated the setup (and required modules) of fl_tt into K12LTSP
5.0. Those instructions are for versions of K12LTSP prior to 5.0. I have
updated the instructions on my fl_tt site for version 5.0. A few days ago
Eric posted:
==========snip==========
Fl_teachertool 0.34 packages have been added to the K12LTSP 5.0
repositories.

I also updated the ltsp_i386-config package to include a sample
configuration for enabling the vnc control/monitor feature.

After the updates, all you need to do is:

1) edit /opt/ltsp/i386/lts.conf and uncomment the "X4_MODULE_02 = vnc"
  line

2) run:

       /usr/bin/vncpasswd
       cp -R -p /root/.vnc /opt/ltsp/i386/root/


3) reboot your terminals....
====snip=============

So you don't need to copy any libraries anymore with 5.0.


will cause all of the vnc-related tools to fail on the 64-bit version. I

Yes, I have not updated the screenshots. However, I can tell you switching
to ip instead of hostname really made fl_tt faster.

Please let me know if you find any bugs with fl_tt.


Very nice tool!



Thanks! :)
