I've corrected that in the CVS version.

I've added all new LTSP version recognition information to the CVS.

Hello Kim,

can you please tell me which version you used and what the error message was?

You are not. In fact, you are the opposite: I find it helpful that you point 
out mistakes and bugs/usability issues.

"Couldn't open version file" means that the module cannot open the LTSP 
version file. If you manage to get to the module config, set the LTSP path, 
otherwise modify {etc}/webmin/ltsp/config's ltsconf_path to the LTSP's NFS 
root etc/ directory, i.e.

  ltsconf_path=/tftpboot/ltsp/nfsroot/etc

Then everything should work fine.

Thanks,
  Christian

New version of the Webmin LTSP module - translations

Hello to all of you,

within the last couple of months, I had the pleasure to enjoy your help as 
translators within my little LTSP Webmin Configuration Module project.

I haven't done much for the last months, so the last release is long ago. 
Today, I have reassumed work because there was a nasty bug that deleted the 
entire configuration. This as well as a couple of other bugs are fixed right 
now.

I'd like to put a new release soon. But there have been some changes in the 
translation strings, i.e. now you can make translation more context 
sensitive. Example:

  no=Norvegian
  no=No

  ==> Conflict!

No you can do it this way:

  optionname_no=Norvegian
  otheroptionname_no=No

We had to do this multiple times.

If you have time and interest in helping again, I'd send you the current 
translation file of your language, the English file and a diff between the 
English original and your language translation which give you better hints 
what to change.

Update

Hi,

today I found the nasty "delete entire lts.conf" bug. Beat me for this line:

  if ($end_delete != $i) { $end_delete = $i; }

Where $i is a counter for all lines in the file, which was at that point 
already = $#lines. Stupid idea. :-)

I did some work on the translation stuff. Shall I make a call to all the 
translators whether they are interested in updating stuff?

Georg: Can you tell me how I can make a kind of "diff" between a translation 
and the English file?

Greets,
  Christian

1. Sounds a better option.
a. lts.conf allows it
b. It allows for simply having a list of workstation id's.
c. With the ltsp build environment, it's now possible to easily add 
extra things like snmp for ws monitoring. A bit of forsight to a future 
where some kind soul adding extra features besides for just modifying 
lts.conf would not go astray.

There should be little effort to get the module working with ltsp4, 
apart from some new variables, little else has changed in lts.conf

activity again

Hi everybody,

well since there's some activity again, thought I might see if I can get
my updates included.

They should be pretty up to date with ltsp3.0. Once I get over this bout
of hayfever and become a functioning human being I will check if all
options are supported.

When I next get in touch with Jim I'll see if he ok's modifying the
lts.conf.readme file so that anyone making a frontend can have it
autogenerate the menu options via the ltsp.conf.readme contents. (well
it's an idea anyhow)

I'm having trouble generating a patch, im using

diff -rauN webmin-ltsp-orig/ webmin-ltsp-new/ > webmin-ltsp.patch

however the empty files are simply not included, so i just tarred up the
ltsp dir and have posted it to http://emailc.ods.org/ltsp.tgz

Unfortunately english is my only language [1] so I am unable to do
translations.
