Is there a simple way to setup desktop shortcuts for these operations?

hi, it seems you are hitting the Rdesktop: Internal licensing error issue: https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-391 it should be fixed in v1.0 but you have to add the -l commandline switch to disable the creation of any license-files. so you have to configure your rdesktop application with the following Manual start parameters: -l please give a short feedback if this works for you. cheers, martin Am 19.01.2011 09:42, schrieb Ulrich Marder: Hi Matt, regarding the RDP problem: I experience exactly the same with any released OTC version including v1.0 when trying to connect to W2008 R2 desktop services. It’s a licensing error. At least, this is what the error message says. According to the bug tracker this should be solved, but unfortunately it isn’t. I found the following workaround to solve the problem temporarily: Go to the user’s home directory and remove the directory called ‘.rdesktop’ completely. Then create an empty file with the same name and make it read-only for everyone (including root). This must be done for all users who need to access the terminal server.

After a boot time from ~45sec its starts the gui. but when i change into the shell strg+alt+Fn i become also the out of range message. Is the Shell on a to high Framereplay Hz?! The Monitor is a Iiyama 22 and works with 60-75Hz. And then comes my new and big problem. Since yesterday (the day before it works fine - and no configuration changes happens) it boots up to OTC and you can start rdp once. after logout or after the auto connection time out (when it stay to long without any authentification). It will never restart the rdp. And i cannot look on to the shell/bash because of the problem above. only if i reboot the client then you can enter rdp ONCE ...

hi thomas, we recently (re-) implemented this feature for a customer who needed this working for localboot as well. to get this working for localboot installations as well we had to change directories. with the latest versions this feature should work by using the following folders: /opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/userprofile /opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/userprofile-$USERNAME the userprofile folder is the equivalent to the former _USER_OVERWRITE_ folder. the userprofile-$USERNAME folder makes it possible to overwrite settings on a per user basis. please test! regards, martin Am 16.12.2010 12:40, schrieb Weigt, Thomas: Hi, i update today these packages : initscript-tcos from 0.4.5-11 to 0.4.5-42 desktop from 0.4.5-1 to 0.4.5-6 Now the feature _USER_OVERWRITE_ doesn't work.

hi mikec, please try to enter the BIOS of these eSeSIX thin clients (probaly via DEL key, as they should have a standard PC Award BIOS). you may find an option to enable the Boot Rom of the onboard LAN chip at Integrated Peripherals (if present). you may also need to enter the realtek BIOS and enable PXE-boot (try SHIFTF10 or SHIFTTAB after motherboard BIOS POST). if none of this helps and these clients definitely do no support PXE, have a look at etherboot to get the gPXE stack booted from compact flash: http://etherboot.org/wiki/index.php furthermore there is a way to get openthinclient (or at least grub, kernel and initrd) installed on these CF-cards even without booting from PXE in the first place. but this will require some decent linux and openthinclient knowledge. somehow or other keep in mind that openthinclient won't work as expected with clients having less than 128MB RAM installed. regards, martin Am 14.06.2010 20:07, schrieb TheOnlyMIKEC: I read the documentation and it states that one of the requirements is PXE.

Re: [openthinclient-user] Local boot problem
hi piergiorgio, * regarding local boot: if your server/client VLANs are in a local area network, there is most probably no need for local boot (see previous mail thread OTC server with clients in different subnets) the intended use of local boot is in slow networks (WANs) or where no DHCP server is available. in addition, the local boot package is currently broken in experimental and therefore this package won't work with the openthinclient-server-0.1.3 virtual appliance. if you need localboot, stick with the openthinclient-0.4.5 JAR release. if you need to have all data (OS, applications, ...) locally on your thin client, you have to change the local boot application setting: System files: NFS to System files: Local and reinitialize your thin client storage device (make sure it's booted via PXE when executing the local boot application). The setting System files: NFS will only add boot loader, kernel and initrd to the desired storage device and the root file system will still be on NFS. * regarding boot process is very slow: take a look at SUITE-383 (make sure you are logged in to see all comments): https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-383 cheers, martin Piergiorgio Venuti schrieb: Hi all, I've a Openthinclient server in a VLAN and my thin client in a another VLAN, I set up accordly the LDAP and the NFS server in local boot application, so my client are able to login but the boot process is very slow, about 30 min.

Martin,
Sorry to bother you again, but it seems the problems aren't over. It
seems like the client only successfully boots sometimes. Other times
it
stops on the premount faze and gives some errors like error in

I tried building the OTC server from scratch in case some things got
messed up some how. But the client still only boots properly
periodically. Could this still be related to network communication
issues?

Hey Martin,
Seems like we were able to get it working. The network guys said they
used some sort of option to forward the broadcasts, perharps something
similar to the IP helper address system. Anyways, thanks again for the
advice because it seemed to point them in the right direction. I guess
my only other question is, can the OTC server reboot thin clients
remotely without having to log in to each thin client individually?

Thanks Martin, I will talk to them again. We actually tried option 66
and 67 with those options and also added a thin client manually, but
for
some reason when I checked the logs the client still wasn't contacting
the OTC server. I will look into these options further and I will get
them to test the IP helper address. Thanks again for your help.

hi brian,
i'am pretty sure the concerns of your network admins are unnecessary.
if you have multiple ip helper-addresses defined, any UDP broadcasts
recieved
on the allowed udp ports will be unicasted to EACH of the IP helpers.
as the openthinclient DHCP proxy does not interfere with DHCP servers
it's
absolutely save to add the second ip helper-addresses.
furthermore this is best practice for using DHCP proxies and i've seen
this
setup working dozens of times at more complex otc installations.
however, there is an alternative solution for your problem. apparently
you will
lose the auto-discover feature of openthinclient and you have to add
your
thin clients manually:
you can add two DHCP options to tell your thin client where to boot
from
and
which Network Bootstrap Program (NBP) to use. these options depend on
your DHCP
implementation and should be set to:
next-server/TFTP Boot Server Host (DHCP Option 66):
IP_OR_NAME_OF_YOUR_OTC_SERVER
filename/Bootfile Name (DHCP Option 67):
pxelinux.0 or /pxelinux.0

martin
Clarke, Brian schrieb:
Thanks again for the reply Martin,
It seems that the network guys had considered this. But, they said
that
since they already have an ip helper-address assigned to the dhcp
server, that if they configured another IP-helper address in the
system,
that the clients would only look to either the DHCP server OR the OTC
server, meaning that both can't be configured at the same time. Does
this sound accurate to you? Perhaps I'll ask them about it again. But
I
was hoping that there were other configurations that we could do, say
on
the DHCP server
Re: [openthinclient-user] OTC server with clients in different subnets
hi brian, to give you further instructions i need to know the operating system your openthinclient server is running and if there is any kind of virtualisation layer in between. just to make sure you will not hit the following problem: https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-39 regards, martin Clarke, Brian schrieb: Good day, I’m a new user of openthinclient and I am unable to get the OTC server to work across multiple subnets. We have 3 or 4 different subnets (192.168.210, 192.168.212 etc…) for our clients. The OTC server is on a another subnet which is strictly for servers - 172.30.1. The Dhcp server is on its own subnet also, but they have a IP helper configured so that it works for all of the client subnets (excluding the 172.30.1 subnet which doesn’t use DHCP). If I have the OTC server on the same subnet as the client it will work. However, if I have it on the server subnet (172…..) it doesn’t work at all.

[openthinclient-user] localboot
hi, it seems there are some testers out there willing to destroy all data on there flash devices ;-). there you go: i just uploaded the package localboot to unstable. this package is still buggy and might be rewritten but should work for compact flashes (USB-sticks are untested). it basically prepares the device and copies files and some settings to disk. you still need at least the openthinclient ldap server running for fetching configuration data if you boot locally. so if you want to do some localboot tests: - uncomment the manager-unstable line in: ...\openthinclient\server\default\data\nfs\root\etc\sources.list and save file - start the openthinclient manager, search for updates and install package localboot - add and configure the localboot application - assign it to administrator (the only user that is able to execute it) - start a thin client (via PXE), login as administrator and execute the application - cross your fingers ;-) - reboot thin client and change BIOS or PXE-ROM settings to boot from local devices the default configuration prepares the thin client to boot without PXE/TFTP. system data - local will copy all installed packages to the local device. you can not write to the device if you did a local boot, you have to switch to PXE boot to rewrite the device. have fun, martin -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

hi, akeilo cm schrieb: Off-topic: the boot-loading of version .4 seems to be problematic. I downloaded on a xp system and extracted under openthinclient4 folder and ran start-server.bat from command line. I have another folder 'openthinclient which contains .3.1. I stopped the 3.1 completely along with the manager and cd to openthinclent4 folder and run start-server.bat and it keep giving NFS halt errors infinitely. Again would like to clarify that im running this from command line, not installed as service. getting these NFS errors is expected as you most probably didn't shut down all connected thin clients before you switched versions. this is like changing hard drives while your OS is running. use the internal package manager for updating packages if you want to circumvent this. Today, i installed version .4 into ubuntu dapper system, first attempt booted ok. After restart of thinclient, it stop to boot: console after the initrd I didnt pay attention until it didnt proceed I pressed ENTER key at boot: and it continue booting. i have seen this once or twice before but i am unable to reproduce it. maybe you can reproduce this phenomenon?. martin -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.

Re: [openthinclient-user] [Openthinclient-user] Series of Questions
hi cuneyt cuneytm schrieb: Sorry for the length of this post as i converted it from my notes while playing with openthinclient. Rest assured, i would be happy to compile them under How To or such for the Wiki pages. that would be cool! Following are the list of questions. Thank you in advance for your attention. you're welcome :-) How to centrally set (as Skeleton/Default) gnome-default-applications - Mail Reader COMMAND field to a shell script path like /bin/webMail_compose.sh so that we can launch the webmail for all mailto: links? if you change the mail reader command via gnome-default-applications-properties and terminate your session by logging out your configuration is written to: /home/tcos/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/%gconf.xml this file holds your configuration changes and could look like this: ?xml version=1.0? gconf entry name=command mtime=1220956899 type=string stringvalue/bin/webMail_compose.sh %s/stringvalue /entry /gconf the easiest way to make this a default for all users/thin clients is to create the following folder on your openthinclient server: INSTALLPATH\server\default\data\nfs\home\_USER_OVERWRITE_\.gconf\desktop\gnome\url-handlers\mailto and copy the above stated file %gconf.xml into it. What is the best way to inject this shell script, say webMail_compose.sh to the Core so it will be accessible in all and future thinclients. the quick and dirty way would be to copy your shell script in the _USER_OVERWRITE_ directory as well and set the mail reader command to something like: /home/tcos/PATH TO YOUR SCRIPT IN _USER_OVERWRITE_/webMail_compose.sh the proper way would be to create a separate package (for example webmail) and let it handle this. let's say you create a package via: tcos_genpackage webmail this will create the following files and directories for you: webmail/ webmail/webmail-0.0.1 webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/changelog webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/compat webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/control webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/dirs webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/rules webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/docs webmail/webmail-0.0.1/schema webmail/webmail-0.0.1/schema/application webmail/webmail-0.0.1/schema/application/webmail.xml webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/launcher webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/launcher.icon webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/webmail.desktop webmail/webmail-0.0.1/webmail as your webMail_compose.sh script is not a typical application (with launcher and desktop icons...) and you don't need any configuration options (yet?) you can delete the following files and directories: webmail/webmail-0.0.1/schema/application webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/launcher webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/launcher.icon webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/webmail.desktop so it a find webmail will have the following output: webmail/webmail-0.0.1 webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/changelog webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/compat webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/control webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/dirs webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/rules webmail/webmail-0.0.1/debian/docs webmail/webmail-0.0.1/schema webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos webmail/webmail-0.0.1/webmail then create the directory: webmail/webmail-0.0.1/webmail/bin and copy your script into it: webmail/webmail-0.0.1/webmail/bin/webMail_compose.sh if you would build and install this package now, your script would be available for the OS in /opt/webmail/bin/webMail_compose.sh so your script is included but you still need to tell gnome how to use it. for this purpose i have to go into greater detail. you can create some magic directories inside the webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos directory to put additional scripts in. they will be executed by run-parts (see man run-parts) at different points in time: rcS.d - executed right after init starts rc2345.d - executed when switching to runlevel 2 rc.local - executed at the end of the multiuser runlevel. PostLogin - executed right after gnome login (home dir mounted and gconfd started) PostSession - executed on gnome logout as you wish to modify gconf settings you should create the directory: webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/PostLogin and create a setMailCommand.sh script to put it there: webmail/webmail-0.0.1/tcos/PostLogin/setMailCommand.sh this script should modify the gconf-database or create the above stated .../%gconf.xml file. hint: have a look at the desktop package on how to modify the gconf-database with gconftool-2. How to centrally (as Skeleton/Default) register MIME types with Firefox for all thinclients. Is there a location on the openthinclient server that we can drop the defaults so that it will be copied to every new thinclient user created? there are different files/directories for handling mime times: the file /etc/mailcap and the directory /usr/share/applications containing the *.desktop files with its

Re: [openthinclient-user] No boot file name received
hv schrieb: - does your server have multiple interfaces configured? It has two interfaces, but only one is configured at the moment. No, but it has ipv6 enabled, if that matters. ipv6 is not supported/tested yet. if you can't use ipv4 on your network try to change the JAVA_OPTS in bin/run.sh: replace -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true with -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true. i doubt this will do the trick but it's worth a try. i filed this issue here: https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-139 see https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-138 on this one. there is a workaround. ??? under some unknown circumstances the DHCP proxy does not honour the default start file parameter (/pxelinux.0) that is assigned to the client's hardware type. edit your hardware type configuration(s) to use pxelinux.0 as boot file name. (the grayed out default entry /pxelinux.0 needs to be overwritten). regards, martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
