Important LTK Notes

So I was a little naïve in thinking that the LTK install would be easy for everyone since it was easy for me. I had it originally installed on my Kubuntu 24.04 system. The problem is: there are a lot of Linux distro options, and they are unique in their ways and when I tested installation on my Fedora 43 KDE system, it failed to run. After some grooming, I got it to work. Out of those lessons-learned, here are some pointers to get your running:

1. Note location of your installation of the servers. Edit the batch (sh) files to match the location.

2. Likewise, ensure the command execution in the vice.sh file is correct. On my Fedora system, I used the Vice installation in Software manager which installs via Flatpak. This forced me to change the Vice execution command from

x64sc ... to

/bin/flatpack run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=x64sc net.sf.VICE ..."

3. Ensure that the batch (sh) files have the appropriate "#!" call out (#!/bin/bash) for your system.

4. The primary script uses "xfce4-terminal" for the terminal windows. You don't have to install/use this. On my Fedora platform I used Konsole - so the command "xfce4-terminal -x" changed to "konsole -e". I also had to change the format of these commands where:

xfce4-terminal -x <location> <file> became

konsole -e <location/file>
