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. </pre> Brian Jarrett 2012-05-23T17:37:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.thinstation.general/25004 <pre>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?

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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

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. </pre> Brian Jarrett 2012-05-21T20:30:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.thinstation.general/24981 <pre>When will the new TSoM Thinstation-5? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

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 module loop module sd_mod module pata_acpi module ata_generic module ata_piix module serio_raw module ehci-hcd module ohci-hcd module psmouse module evdev module i2c-piix4 module usbcore module usb-common module snd-intel8x0 module snd-ac97-codec module ac97_bus module snd-pcm module snd-timer module snd module soundcore module snd-page-alloc module e1000 module libata module scsi_mod module parport_pc module parport module ac module button ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
