iTalc and Ubuntu 8.04.1/LTSP5

[Asmo Koskinen]

I made today iTalc page in finnish:

http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/LTSP5_iTalc

iTalc is available in finnish, great!


There are some highlights for what I did for this installation.

1. I made installation from the source (1.0.9). I know that there is
deb-packages for 8.04 and 8.10, but I liked to learn little bit more 
about iTalc.

2. I copied public directory to the /opt/ltsp directory.

asmok at ubuntu:~$ ls -al /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/italc/keys/public/teacher/key
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 590 2008-09-11 20:55 
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/italc/keys/public/teacher/key
asmok at ubuntu:~$

3. I changed isdport for from 5800 to 5900. This script uses 
/usr/local/bin directory.

Now I was able to use iTalc.

I added server:

I added client:

I send message to the client:

I do not know how iTalc works with lots of clients, I will try that next 
week in Mäntykangas school.
