LTSP Manager

A tool to make setting up and modifying ubuntu LTSP settings an easy task

Features of LTSP Manager:

• Set up a thin client chroot for you (if there is none yet) in a userfriendly GUI driven way.
• Avoiding manual editing of the lts.conf and the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file in a production environment.
• It should as well provide a GUI for setting themes and sessions for LDM ubuntus LTSP Display Manager.
• Keep a history of all your edits with rollback functionallity to walk back and forward through your setup changes.

For the moment the app targets only global settings, individual per host configurations are not in scope yet.

There is a bzr archive available, feel free to branch from it to submit patches.
To checkout the branch use:

bzr get http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/LTSPManager/bzr/

See the changelog.
Note that there is not much code written yet, so don't expect it to do something. This Software is alpha.

Contact me if you have a branch to merge.

See some Screenshots below:
