This is the documentation for quickly testing LTLJ in a virtual machine.
The server part is available as a disk image and a virtual machine configuration.
The terminal part can either be run as a virtual machine or with a physical machine.
Requirements¶
You need a virtualization software. We used VirtualBox. You can use another software as the disk image is in VMDK format.
The virtual machine needs 512 Mb RAM.
You don't need anything else if you're planning to run your terminals as virtual machines.
If you want to run some physical terminals, you also need a working network card, a network switch with cables and some terminals.
Terminals are standard PC with PXE boot feature enabled. We support nVidia card (not too old) by default. For ATI cards, you need some tweaking.
Limitations¶
To have a "small" image we only set up a few games.
A virtual terminal will not be able to handle the games (OpenGL not well supported in VM).
With physicals terminals (linked to the virtual server), you will have a full-working configuration. You can even plug many physical terminals.
Download¶
The LTLJ demo (LTLJ_200910) is available via Bittorrent. Download this LTLJ.torrent with your preferred Bittorrent client.
The md5 checksum of the disk image is e2f1e87899db38934202d5c22921e932903876f3.
You can download LTLJ demo via http http://paulska.info/LTLJ/ ( 10 files ~700Mo/files, use 7zip for extract )
Import LTLJ into VirtualBox¶
- Extract ltlj.tar.gz ( tar -xzvf ltlj.tar.gz )
- Open VirtualBox
- Select File -> Import ...
- Select vmdk
- Choose ltlj_demo_200910.vmdk
- Click Next
- Click Import
- Wait
LTLJ's VM is set with 2 Ethernet card (first card connected to Internet and second card for the terminals).
You have to decide how to bind those virtual cards to your network(s).
You can use private virtual networks or bind your virtual network cards to physical network.
( DHCP up, IP : 192.168.177.1 ) ).
First and second card is bridged.
If you have just 1 ethernet card, set first card as private lan and second as bridge eth0.Make sure no DHCP is running except LTLJ DHCP !
First launch¶
- Launch VM
- Boot physical client ( make sure computer is enable to boot on PXE ! ).
- When your client boot on pxe, you will see this screen.
- Log into ltlj-admin ( login : ltlj-admin / password : ltlj-admin )
- Launch Firefox and go to http://192.168.177.1:5000
- Go to "Déclarer un nouveau poste"
- You see Ip of all non registred client. Click on one of them.
- Set name for this client and click on Register. Your client reboot.
- After client is up, go to "Rôles"
- Select client's name on Active term.
- Select role to client, for exemple Nexuiz.
- Good Game !
