myAgent on Linux

I don't suppose anyone's managed to get myAgent and inTouch running using Mono or Wine?  I've tried but failed miserably :smileysad: 

 

 

It would be super if I could get it to run, as it's the only obstacle keeping us from a Linux desktop migration.  BTW, too many of our workstations are too slow to run Virtualbox effectively, so that's no help - and I don't want to pay for the Windows licenses!

Tyler-

 

I haven't heard of anyone successfully running it on Linux.  I know that some people have found ways to use Citrix with some side effects.

Re: myAgent on Linux

Tyler, if you ever get this to work I'd like to hear about it.  My wife and I had constantly been fighting over our one home computer, so I just built a Linux box for myself (Ubuntu 9.04) with the intent of giving the old Windoze machine to my wife.  But until I can do all of the stuff on the new box that I could do on the old, I'll be preempting her on the old box if there's trouble at work when I'm at home.

 

By the way, ever try to use Web Manager on Firefox?  Not a pretty sight!

Re: myAgent on Linux

Unfortunately I doubt I ever will get it to run; the app uses a bunch of hooks for the system tray and so forth that cause Mono and Wine both to barf :smileysad:

 

However, I *can* use myAgent by loading it into virtual box running in headless mode.  Since I have a quad core with 4GB, this is not very taxing for my machine  It would definitely be a burden to anyone on a single core or an older machine - it's a lot of overhead just to run myAgent and inTouch!

 

I'm told that the next iteration of Web Manager should be browser agnostic, but I am not holding my breath.
