[K12OSN] Beta 6?

[David Trask]

Sound works fine in flash....go here

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ

near the bottom for the fix...piece of cake.  I have it working well. 
also on the Edubuntu site either in the docs or the wiki you'll find the
lts.conf variables.  I recently (last week) got two servers (Edubuntu)
with dhcp/load balance and failover along with a Samba/LDAP server using
smbldap-installer....up and running.  It was so easy it was
anti-climactic.  I'm still a K12LTSP fan and have been since the beginning
(I've used it at our school since September 2001...in earnest)...however,
I really like where Ubuntu and Edubuntu are headed.  The MueKow way of
doing things is the way of the future....there are still some bugs, but
each new release just gets SO MUCH better.  I would love to see the
Redhat/Fedora folks really get their act together and go nuts with
K12LTSP, but it ain't happening yet...at least publicly.  There will be
MAJOR new advances in Gutsy (the next release) that should speed things up
tremendously.  Once booted the terminals are fine....no diffs between
K12LTSP and Edubuntu.....it's the booting that takes a bit.  Be sure to
use Gideon Romms patched LDM for your current Edubuntu installation.

I think it's here

and do this:

> Replace your current "/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ldm" with the new file
(you may want to
> backup your current ldm just to be safe).  The in
"/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf" add the
> following line:
> 
> LDM_DIRECTX=True

Hope this all helps!  :-)
