Hi everyone,
My gf's school asked me if I could help them to install and configure a computer classroom. They have a lot of old machines so I installed a LTSP server, put a lot of RAM inside and connected the whole class (20 computers) to it.
Since LTSP doesn't really handle multiple logins of the same account (for instance Firefox consider that it's already opened), it's mandatory to have different accounts for each computer of the classroom.
I could give a user account and password for each kid in the school, but some of them are really young so it will be a hassle for the teachers if they have to log them everytime they go to this class.
My idea was to create 20 accounts per class (p1a.01 to p1a.20 for instance, one for each computer, for the class p1a).
It will be quite easy to manage but I would like to refine that : do you know a way to remotely log in (and log out) to the graphical session of a linux machine ? The IPs will be fixed so it will be relatively easy to create a script per class, ssh and start a command on each computer, all that from the teacher's computer.
It would help me a lot, the teacher will be able to click on a shortcut, logout all the remaining connected computer and log in automatically with the right settings.
Thanks !
