The wiki reported to copy
cp -rv /etc/kde-profile/ $LTSPCHROOT/etc/
cp -v /etc/kderc $LTSPCHROOT/etc/
cp -v /etc/kde-user-profile $LTSPCHROOT/etc/
but I can confirm this is not sufficient.
Kiosktool uses also other file that need to be sincronized.
I added to the wiki also these lines
cp -rv /usr/share/debian-edu/students $LTSPCHROOT/usr/share/debian-edu/
cp -rv /usr/share/applications/ $LTSPCHROOT/usr/share/
but it might be necessary to copy some other files.
I didn't have the time to test it very well but it worked for me.
I think there should not be differences between diskless workstation
and workstation (I mean about the file we need to copy).
I think it is necessary a script that sincronize the kiostool files to
the workstation.
I didn't test kisoktool on workstation so please tell me if the
sincronization of the configuration between the server and the
workstation is managed in a differnet way.
I was thinking to a small script to put into cron, something like
rync -a tjenet:/etc/kde-profile/ /etc/
rync -a tjenet:/etc/kderc /etc/
rync -a tjenet:/etc/kde-user-profile /etc/
rync -a tjenet:/usr/share/debian-edu/students /usr/share/debian-edu/
rync -a tjenet:/usr/share/applications/ /usr/share/
but this require to be non interactive. That means to use a
certificate and give the possibility to the client to connect to the
server like root without password.
Any other idea?
