Just to know : is there something special to do after having installed 
AG2.2 to have it work properly ?

I say so because I have one AG2.2 installed but it doesn't work. I have 
managed to request a certificat with success but otherwise, when in a 
room, I have nothing which pops up (for the video and/or the sound for 
example) and I don't manage to run "/Preferences/Manage My Node...". After 
having specified my node service URL it says "Can not open node management 
at https://localhost:11000/NodeService". Do you have any clue ?

BTW, did you have to install some other package to have AG2.2 running ? On 
my side I have installed xawtv and the sound is working...

Most of the time the "Debian way" I have found is to add the requested 
lines in /etc/bash.bashrc so they are loaded each time you open a terminal.

> #!/bin/bash

I'm quite surprise you need to do so. In fact globus isn't needed to run 
AccessGrid, or at least you just have to install /usr/lib/gpt and nothing 
in /usr/lib/globus. Did you run gpt-postinstall and gpt-verify after 
installing gpt ? Because I did so and I have no more trouble related to 
globus-user-env.sh .
