sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jigish-gohil/moodd sudo apt-get update sudo apt install intef-exe

exe is available via browser so it can probably be served using nginx proxy at myscoolserver.in/exe

exe now working on Pi. Was not aware that this was a suggestion for the server.

Will verify at cloud myscoolserver.in/exe/

Added configs, try myscoolserver.in/exe/ Create tile for access from portal.

Serving exe over web won't work - Tested those now on old server where it was supposedly working. For example, saving preferences, seeing preview etc. For some, we can add more locations to nginx but for others we can't. I don't think it is meant to be web shared. How will preferences be saved for individual users? And saving, saves in mssadmin's home.

Latest intef-exe 2.6 package works on 18.04 and it requires python-cssmin which was missing.

intef-exe 2.6 only works on 20.04 via snap. Hence dropping it from MSS. So back to square one after 18 months. :)

This process works without having to include in client images. This creates ~/.exe for each user for conf and logs -

apt remove intef-exe

Use portable version but don't use the --portable option. Uncompress in /opt. NFS export exports.d/ltsp-exe.conf and dynamically mount to clients using ltsp.conf FSTAB_* entry.

POST_INIT_SYMLINK_EXE="ln -s /opt/exelearning26/exelib/exe.desktop /usr/share/applications/exe.desktop; ln -s /opt/exelearning26/exelib/exe.png /usr/share/icons/exe.png"

Modify Exec=exe %f to Exec=python2 /opt/exelearning26/exelib/exe/exe in exe.desktop

ln -s exe.desktop to /usr/share/applications/exe.desktop. ln -s /opt/exelearning26/exelib/exe.desktop /usr/share/applications/exe.desktop

ln -s exe.png to /usr/share/icons/exe.png. ln -s /opt/exelearning26/exelib/exe.png /usr/share/icons/exe.png

Add ltsp.conf entry to ln -s the .desktop and .png files to respective locations for menu item, thus no change needed in images.
