Hi all,
I was talking with a co-worker who thought it would be great if you could
configure lts.conf options to thin clients via a gui. Maybe the gui
would populate itself with
all of the mac addresses that were thin clients (via arp ?) and you
could point and click your way through the
various options configurable through lts.conf.
It might look something like:
+[aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff]
+[ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa]
...
And when you clicked on the mac address in question you'd get something like:
[aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff]
+GENERAL PARAMETERS
+SCRIPTS AND MODULES
+PRINTER PARAMETERS
+KEYBOARD PARAMETERS
+TOUCHSCREEN PARAMETERS
+SOUND AND VOLUME CONTROL PARAMETERS
+XORG PARAMETERS
+XRANDR OPTIONS
+SCREEN SCRIPTS
+LDM OPTIONS
+LOCAL APPLICATIONS
And drilling further you'd see:
[aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff]
+GENERAL PARAMETERS
+SCRIPTS AND MODULES
+PRINTER PARAMETERS
+KEYBOARD PARAMETERS
+TOUCHSCREEN PARAMETERS
+SOUND AND VOLUME CONTROL PARAMETERS
+XORG PARAMETERS
+XRANDR OPTIONS
+SCREEN SCRIPTS
+LDM OPTIONS
LOCAL APPLICATIONS
LOCAL_APPS
boolean, default True
Enables support for running local apps on the thin client.
LOCAL_APPS_MENU
boolean, default False
Enables overriding of menu items from remote (server) applications.
If this is set to True, local applications in the users menu will
be used instead of the applications on the server.
LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS
string, default unset
This item should contain a comma separated list of application
names as they appear on their .desktop files.
LOCAL_APPS_WHITELIST
At the individual attribute level you'd have a radio button or
something for booleans and box for strings.
Maybe something already exists like this? Maybe it's a bad idea for some reason?
I'd be interested in knowing what folks think.
John
