Re: Trying to set up t5135 with RDP connection, system locks up, not enough ram left?

I wasn't able to run it with fastboot enabled.  I think it's failing to download the lib.squash file from the pxe directory, but I can't see the initial error, just "can't run '/bin/start-session' : No such file or directory" keeps scrolling by.

Without fastboot enabled, the system seems to have about 9.5Mb free after getting the IceWM desktop, so we've gained 2Mb by enabling memory constrained, but the system still locks up after using the terminal session for just a little bit.  It does seem to get a little further, though.

Use fastboot in build.conf. enable memory constrained in thinstation.conf.buildtime. This will save memory with syslinux.

Hello all,

I've finally been able to get my HP t5135 to load using PXE.  I've set it to use ICEWM (the default) and added either freerdp or rdesktop.  With either package, when I connect to my Windows 2008 terminal server the system locks up after I've entered my credentials.  When connecting to a Windows 2003 terminal server, I can at least get to where I can see the desktop, but trying to run programs it locks up.

If I leave it running ICEWM and don't launch the rdp client, the system will function without locking up.  But when I try to establish an rdp connection, eventually it locks.

So I got to looking at the free memory on ICEWM's About menu, and noticed that at most I have 7.5M free of 108M.  So I'm thinking maybe I'm running out of RAM.  I tried loading the syslinux files to the flash drive and booted from it, thinking that would free up some usable RAM by not requiring a RAM drive used by PXE, but I have the same amount of RAM available once ICEWM loads as before.

So, how can I free up memory to use?

Or maybe someone that has TS 5 files for the t5135 could share with me their configurations so I can get this working.  I need it to connect to a terminal session with Windows 2008 and provide sound, that's the main thing.

Thanks for your help and advice.

error messages building allmodules

At the start of the output messages when doing an allmodules build I see:

cat: ./machine/vmware/module.list: No such file or directory
cat: ./machine/um/module.list: No such file or directory

in build.conf I have uncommented

machine vmware
machine Mum

but shouldn't that should be ignored when doing an allmodules build
anyway? It certainly shouldn't be seeing Mum as um!

Citrix Delay in Launch

Using Thinstation 5.0.  Added Citrix ICA Client 12.0.  Build is successful, system boots properly.  When launching an ICA connection, there is a mysterious 5 second delay before any screen activity.  This is very confusing to users who end up launching the client repeatedly.
 
Have tried using ICA 11, 12.0 and 12.1.  Happens on virtual machines as well as physical hardware.  If I run "wfica -log", the first message appears after 5000 milliseconds (note that speed of machine does not seem to impact this delay).  This happens with specifc ICA sessions configured, or without them and just using the wfcmgr to create a connection.  This happens with DNS names or IP addressess.  This does not happen using Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows or older versions of Thinstation.  My last test was to build a new chroot, leaving everything as delivered.  I modified only build.conf to include ICA and point to the client tarball.  I also added Vesa for Xorg.  The problem continued.
 
Can anyone point me in the right direction for trouble-shooting?

silly problem with thinstation.conf.network

This is  a very easy but I just cannot catch it.

I have tried to make a thinstation.conf.network file, where I load a
vmware view session to tsclient but somehow it does not get loaded
never when booting pxe

In build.conf I have lines
param basename       thinstation     			# Used for all config/tftp/scp
file names
param basepath       ts5.0

so I would imagine that i must create a bath
thinstation/ts5.0 on tftproot and put thinstation.conf.network there.

Tftproot seems to be
/thinstation/build/boot-images

directories thinstation and ts5.0 are execute and readable to all  user
file thinstation.conf.network is readable to all user

tftp server is in TS 5.1 devstation.

I know that I could but that vmview directivise in
thinstation.conf.buildtime but eventually I will have several kinds of
thinclients  some a webkiosk and some are vmware workstation.

Your
Jukka

pxe boot of initial allmodules build gives "Unable to mount root fs" on HP t5135

Hello all,


I'm trying to replace the HP supplied thinclient software on a lab of t5135 thinclients.  So I downloaded the TS 5.1 ISO and installed it as a virtual machine on my workstation.  I edited build.conf in ts/5.1 and uncommented "package extensions-x" because I wanted to run hwlister, then ran "./build --allmodules".

I see that the tftp service is already serving up the boot-images/pxe directory, so I fire up my t5135 and it loads vmlinuz and initrd.  After it loads the files, though, I get a kernel panic with the error "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)" and then I get a call trace.

I did a bunch of reading and finally saw "param bootverbosity" and I set it to 63 to get everything.  Now just before the "Unable to mount" error I get "No filesystem could mount root, tried:  " with NOTHING following.  I've seen other examples of this error in my searches, but the error usually has a list of filesystems that it has tried.  At one point, I uncommented all the filesystem modules in the build.conf,  but there is no change to the behavior.  I'm expecting it to build a ramdisk and load the root on that, so I'm not sure what I need to look at next.

Please advise.

Thanks.

lib.squash can't load from subfolder

I'm finding lib.squash will only load from the root of BOOT:/ again.

If I put vmlinuz, initrd and lib.squash in /TS5, busybox just hangs
(doesn't say "can't find lib.squash" like it used to). If I move
lib.squash to the root, it loads fine.

Playing online video

After booting my TS, the memory status is:

MemTotal:         515628 kB
MemFree:          221380 kB
Buffers:           14788 kB
Cached:           251828 kB

as soon as I start playing a video on youtube (in Chrome) this changes to:

MemTotal:         515628 kB
MemFree:            6080 kB
Buffers:           50976 kB
Cached:           276968 kB

which seems a bit close to the edge, so I guess I need to get the
memory usage down somehow. This is an allmodules build, using the
machine profile it reduces initrd from 14.8 MB to 3.8 MB and
lib.squash from 87.2 MB to 86 MB, which doesn't seem like it will help
much.

By the way, I've gone back to using fastboot, as otherwise the memory
was almost full straight after booting and I couldn't even play a
youtube video.

I've built with Xorg-VESA and Xorg-VMware so that I can test it in
Virtualbox, I'll do another build with Xorg-Intel and Xorg-VMWare so I
can compare and see if one works better than the other on the intended
machine (HP Vectra VL400).

Video seems to work OK in the Virtualbox. I tested with a TS5.0 Intel
build on the VL400 the other day and that couldn't play video at all
without the picture and sound breaking up very badly. I also tested
the old TS2.2.2 build and that couldn't either, so I think the user
was mistaken when they told me that used to work and they were
probably thinking of when they ran XP on the machine. It seems strange
that it works OK on virtual hardware using the VESA / VMware driver
but not on the real hardware though. I'm not sure which driver it's
using in the Vbox, but this is the module.list

module snd-pcm-oss
module snd-mixer-oss
module ipv6

Chrome opens with Blank page

I've set

SESSION_1_TITLE="Chrome Browser"
SESSION_1_TYPE=chrome
SESSION_1_CHROME_HOMEPAGE=http://www.google.co.uk
SESSION_1_ICON=On

but when Chrome loads it just shows the New Tab page and checking the
options it's set to "On Startup: Open the New Tab page". Can I set it
to start on the Homepage (i.e. www.google.co.uk)?
