LTSP-Build-Client Arch option not in Help
To find the options for a command you type: command --help It spits out a bunch of options that you can use to tweak the parameters of a command. On the --help for the ltsp-build-client script is the --dist option, which I thought can be used to install a different distribution that the one you are current using on the host. For instance:
sudo lts-build-client --dist lenny
There is another option, and it is not specified in the --help. The --arch option allows the specification of different architecture than your host. For instance:
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch -i386
If you are using a 64 bit host, you can install an i386 client file system with this.

Added to VirtualBox Pro is status checking. When you login to the host your virtual machines are displayed with on/off information. In the onCreate a thread is launched that scans the server for machine status; it then updates the UI thread accordingly. I’ve also added header icons to replace the default one, and a new [...]

I re-wrote the dialogs class and removed 3 redundant methods. I was able to consolidate 4 methods into a single re-usable method that substantially reduced the code to implement the main host settings menu. The user will no see any difference, but it should reduce the size of the package slightly, and is just simply [...]

I have added a variety of user interface updates to the pro version. In addition to the toast popups actual notifications add a sence of feedback and depth to the program. I want the program to feel that its actually aware of what you are doing and processing interactions accordingly. I feel with recent enhancements [...]

There is a small bug on the delete hosts page that will be fixed. I’m going to keep the max number of hosts, at this time, to 7 to support smaller screens without having to rewrite the code to support multiple pages of hosts. I’m going to add, at mininum, an additional class where I [...]

Published late last night to the Android Marketplace, VirtualBox Manage is making nice progress. Yesterday I put substantial time and effort into the user interface. Particular the onscreen keyboards, and password entry screen. When the main dialogs appear, prompting for user input, the keyboard views are automatically expanded. In the port dialog a telephone keyboard/numerical [...]

To install flash in Ubuntu use: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree This works on Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit. Flash is slightly unreliable on 64bit Ubuntu, but it works nonetheless. You can also install two open source versions of flash that have limited to good support. Gnash supports most older versions of swf animations, and newer versions [...]

Yes, I know it sounds funny. You can work locally from a remote location. I am specifically referring to use of LTSP. I am managing a server for a company, and I will be placing the server in an air conditioned server room; and I don’t want to sit in that room all day long. [...]
