Starting the Application
========================

From server graphical environment (GNOME, LXDE etc)
---------------------------------------------------

.. |image3| replace:: image 3

We login to the server as a user (e.g. teacher, or user)

We start LServerAdmin application as follows :

* **Gnome** (Ubuntu 10.04 - lucid, Debian squeeze) : From gnome menu :menuselection:`Applications --> System Tools` and we select **LServerAdmin User** (|image1|_)
* **Unity** (Ubuntu 12.04 - precise) : From unity search bar we type **lserver-admin** and press enter (|image2|_). We can drag and drop the LServerAdmin icon to the left side bar, since we will be using it a lot.

We give our password [c1]_ and LServerAdmin application launches on a terminal window 

   
.. tabularcolumns:: |p{160pt}|p{160pt}|

.. list-table:: 
    :header-rows: 0
    :widths: 200, 200
    :class: center

    * - .. image:: ../../_static/screenshots/FirstRun-Gnome_Menus.png
	  :width: 160pt
	  :height: 100pt
	  :alt: start LServerAdmin from gnome
	  :target: ../../_static/screenshots/FirstRun-Gnome_Menus.png
      - .. image:: ../../_static/screenshots/FirstRun-Unity_Menus.png
	  :width: 160pt
	  :height: 30pt
	  :alt: start LServerAdmin from unity
	  :target: ../../_static/screenshots/FirstRun-Unity_Menus.png

Using a browser
---------------

.. note:: shellinabox service needs to be already installed


From any client on local network or server itself we open url http://loginserver (|image3|_)

We type our username and password [c1]_.

To execute LServerAdmin we need to be a priviledged user (teacher or user is already assigned proper rights and we can configure as many other users we want as well)

To start LServerAdmin application we type **lserver-admin** and press ENTER. We will be asked to provide our password again [c1]_

.. note:: We navigate through the application using keyboard and not mouse

.. tabularcolumns:: |p{160pt}|

.. list-table:: 
    :header-rows: 0
    :widths: 200
    :class: center

    * - .. image:: ../../_static/screenshots/FirstRun-Gnome_Menus.png
	  :width: 160pt
	  :height: 100pt
	  :alt: start LServerAdmin from gnome
	  :target: ../../_static/screenshots/FirstRun-Gnome_Menus.png

Through ssh
-----------

Since the application is running on a terminal, you can access it remotely using ssh. Just login from an ssh session as a **root** user or any user with priviledges to run LServerAdmin and execute 

.. code-block:: bash

   lserver-admin
