[K12OSN] Fwd: Unsupported Crossover (Wine) app installed in managedmode only runs as root.

[Kemp, Levi]

Does the app have to run on the LTSP server? Or is it a client/server
sort of software? If it is the latter you may try installing it on
another server and using it that way, although I'll admit my results on
that vary with the app.

	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.

	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.

	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.
