First, one has to download the Lecturnity Jar File. Then, i wrote this small shell-script (i called it "lecturnity-player") to start the lecturnity player with parameters:

#!/bin/sh

JAR="player170p6.jar"

# check Java Home and set it if not available (Gentoo-Version)
if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" -o "$JAVA_HOME" = "" ]
then
        JAVA_HOME=`java-config --jre-home`
fi

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar /opt/lecturnity/$JAR $@

If $JAVA_HOME is already set on your system (echo $JAVA_HOME) you don't need the JAVA_HOME-Check. chmod the File executable: chmod u+x lecturnity-player Then you can play lecturnity Files with lecturnity-player /path/to/file.lpd. One Remark: It is not possible to player the Video Versions under Linux (at least it does not work here, it simply plays them without Video). Using this with Firefox: Click on a link to a Lecturnity File and choose lecturnity-player in the "run with" Dialog. Then Lecturnity Files will automatically play when you click on a link (takes some time to start the player).
