Hi John, Local apps only works on 9.04 or later. Here's my lts.conf [Default] LDM_DIRECTX = True XRANDR_DISABLE = True X_RAMPERC = 80 X_MODE_0 = 1280x1024 LOCAL_APPS = True LOCAL_APPS_MENU = True LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS = firefox SEARCH_DOMAIN = 192.168.0.1 || Change this for your own network DNS_SERVER = 92.168.0.1 || Change this for your own network RCFILE_01 = /etc/init.d/chmod-resolv.sh <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 2:08 PM, john <<a href="mailto:lists.john@gmail.com">lists.john@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi Joseph, I didn't see your lts.conf when I followed the link you sent me, but I did find this <div class="im"> <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPLocalAppsFirefox" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPLocalAppsFirefox</a> </div>I take it that you wrote that howto.
