Vmware View 2.0 Package with PCOIP and USB Support - needs testing

Hello,
i have just finished testing the vmware view 5.2 (2.0) Horizon Client on TS5.1 with PCOIP and USB Support..
Someone interested in testing ?

The 2.0 Client has alls things integrated in the debian package, just the start script does the magic. It
needs 2 Services started in the Background. i think.

i had a usb flash drive mounted into the vdi and it was working. But it needs for sure more tests.

Bye

Next step to troubleshoot kernel module or Xorg driver problem?

Hi All,

 

What is the next troubleshooting step when I get this error “The system was not able to go graphical.  This could indicate a problem with missing kernel modules or Xorg drivers”?

 

Here is what I’ve done so far.

 

1.        Using the latest 5.1 build environment

2.       Enabled all Xorg modules in the build.conf

3.       Set the bootverbosity to 60 which should show init, kernel, module, and package messages (a lot of stuff scrolls by on the screen but nothing catches my eye)

4.       Used the command “./build –allmodules –autodl –license ACCEPT” to build my images

5.       Enabling as many other modules and packages as seemed useful

6.       Checked the video card.  The problematic class of machine is an HP workstation with an NVIDIA card that was added to the Linux NVIDIA driver back in 2006.

 

Also, the liveCD version of TS works fine on these machines.

 

What should my next step be, is there any way to see what hardware it is failing on?

 

Thanks,

 

-greg

Is the new vmview client being added to thinstation?

Hi All,

 

We have started a quest to find a network bootable thinclient and have landed here at thinstation.  Our goal is to end up with a thin client solution that supports PCOIP and is able to utilize our old PC’s such that they can be set to boot from the network and then (in theory at least) they will not need to be touched again.  All software updates/patches etc. can be done on the network centrally.  My point in giving you the back story is simple to say that we are interested thinstation but need it with PCOIP support. 

 

I saw some posts on this mailing list in the archives that discussed various users building their own packages/images with PCOIP VMWare View Client support and am willing to head down this route if necessary, though I’m a bit intimidated by process.  I also see from the vmware web site that they’ve released the client as open source software:

 

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VIEWCLIENTS_OSL_200&productId=331

 

I am new to thinstation and linux boot images in general and have a few questions that I’m hoping someone here would be gracious enough to answer for me.

 

1.       It looks like TS went from 2.x to 5.x in its versioning, why the jump in version numbers?

2.       If my understanding that the vmware view linux client is now open sourced is there any plan to integrate it into the official TS image?

3.       If I was to attempt to add this to the image would there be interest in providing it for the official build?

4.       Would doing so be considered adding a ‘package’ to TS or something else, specifically which part of the wiki should I be looking at?

 

Thanks in advance for the help,

freerdp, cups, and printer redirection

hello,

i am trying to setup some TS units with printer redirection in
freerdp. i am trying to redirect a network printer. i am using ts 5.1
and freerdp 1.0.1. as far as i can understand, freerdp needs cups to
support printer redirection. i have cretaed a cups TS package using
'repackage' on the crux cups port. the cups package appears to be
working, i can create network printers and successfully print to them
via TS. however, redirecting in a freerdp session is not working. i am
using
xfreerdp -d domain -u user -p password --ignore-certificate --plugin
rdpdr --data printer:test -- termserver
i connect to term server, see
registered device #1: PRN1 (type=4, id=1)
in freerdp console, but no redirected printers created on term server.

thanks,

chris

Feature freeze / stabalize / release

Developers,

I am ready to freeze this thing and start an actual release process. I will not be adding any new features or packages over the next month or so. I would appreciate submissions of outstanding issues and code fixes to finish up the 5.1 series and call it good. Next we will work on 5.2 or 6.0. The major plans that I have envisioned for the next series include an all new glibc, updated packages all around, gtk3 suppor t and the gnome mail client and taking the build version out of the build path, so that we can change version numbers more readily. But before breaking ground on new stuff, I would like to finish off the 5.1 series with some spit and polish. Please branch the repo at git hub, push your fixes and submit your merge requests. I really appreciate all your support.

Best,
Don Cupp

Re: Nvidia bin Driver and Nouveau Drivernot working anymore in latest GIT Relase - could that be ?

Gotcha 8-(..

I found the bug... Or problem cause

1. Bug/Problem
It looks like we can´t use the SCREEN_COLOR_DEPTH="16 | 8 | 24 | *" Parameter anymore in the old way with
several Options in one line
SCREEN_COLOR_DEPTH="16 | 8 | 24 | *" is not o.k.
But 
SCREEN_COLOR_DEPTH="24" is o.k .

2. Bug/Problem
And i can´t get the nvidia driver up if i enable the

X_DEVICE_OPTION1="swcursor On"
Option. 

Someone around who can validate this for us also.
Thanks and bye

Hello Michael,
Thankis for your answer.
I know that it is a no go with both drivers enabled at same time.. I included only 1 xorg-package at build
time.. But it doesn´t work. i´m focusing now on the latest nouveau git.. Just compiled lates git libdrm
and latest git nouveau from today.. And will try now with them to get things up.. 

Also doing some testing with nvidia-310.19 ..

One of those things have to work . Crossing my fingers..8-)

Don't include both xorg7-nvidia and xorg7-noveau at the same time. If you can help it, try not to do an
allmodules build, as the nouveau driver conflicts with the nvidia driver. In practice, the xorg7-nvidia
package may need to blacklist the nouveau driver to prevent this.

Nvidia bin Driver and Nouveau Driver not working anymore in latest GIT Relase - could that be ?


    Hello,
    Today i made a new git pull and got the upgrade to Kernel 3.6.11 .

    Made my basic setup and checked build.conf and
    Package xorg7-nvidia and package xorg7-nouveau was missing from the file. I added them and generated the initrd..

    I also enabled the debug pause and checked some files on the booted client. If i exit the debug mode the system tries to start x but after 10 seconds it fials and reboots the system. I think it doesn´t detect the nvidia card / driver automatically.. Perhaps udev or something else is broken.

    Here something from the logfile with nvidia driver enabled:

    If i enabled xorg7-vesa i get a display with the vesa driver.
    Kernel driver for nvidia is loaded in version 304.51..
    But it gets not detected by x-server.

    If i try to use xorg7-nouveau it is nearly the same
    I get an additional error in the boot log with
    Modprobe: modules uvesafb not found in modules.dep
    And also no correct nouveau driver.

    And hints for me to dig.how . With the old kernel 3.6.5 (git from 12.12.2012. i think it was o.k)

    Also a lsmod from a system with package xorg7-nouveau enabled shows this.

    Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P 
    nouveau               814803  0

    intel_gtt              13992  1 intel_agp
    agpgart                25567  5 ttm,drm,nvidia,intel_agp,intel_gtt

    How can i debug udev gfx-devices ? Could it be that the nouveau and nvidia binary driver are both loaded and blocking each other ?

    bye

Audio init script and "Digital" amplifiers for recording audio

Don, I saw your latest patches on the audio init script which look great.

One section you commented out was the 1-second arecord command.  I get
that it slows down boot, but in my case, 2 out of 3 laptops I've
tested thinstation on have this issue.  ALSA uses a "digital"
amplifier for the microphone which is recommended to be set around
50%.  For me, my microphones don't work without it being at least at
50%.

The catch is, ALSA doesn't create the digital amplifier until the
first recording.  So when the audio init script kicks in, it doesn't
detect or set the digital amplifier volume because it doesn't exist.
Then when I go to use the microphone, expecting the volume to be set
to MIC_LEVEL, it's not and I have to manually go into alsamixer
(potentially instructing users to do this too.)

Here's some sample output from the console:
ts_000325272fd9:~# amixer | grep Digital
  Items: 'Digital Playback' 'Analog Mux 1' 'Analog Mux 2'
  Item0: 'Digital Playback'
ts_000325272fd9:~# arecord -d 1 -N > /dev/null
Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
ts_000325272fd9:~# amixer | grep Digital
  Items: 'Digital Playback' 'Analog Mux 1' 'Analog Mux 2'
  Item0: 'Digital Playback'
Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
ts_000325272fd9:~# lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 04)

See the 2nd paragraph under "Capture Problems" -
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt
Maybe we detect for intel audio devices and if we find them, then do
the arecord ?  Or is there another way to "force" alsa to create the
device without actually recording?

Thanks,
Matt
