Hi all, I rewritten the script to use ITALC in the thinclient envirorment becasue the original does not work in debian-edu etch. The "new" script use the envirorment variable $ESPEAKER that is initialized after the kde login. That means the script have to be run after it. It wokrs fine when called by ~/.kde/Autostart.
STEP 1: create the file /usr/local/bin/strart_ica.sh here it is: ----------- #!/bin/bash # a perl script was written by Patrick Winnertz 11.12.05 # and modified by Giovanni Gimelli - Osservatorio Tecnologico Italy # it has been re-written by Valerio Pachera (www.linuxludus.it) as simple bash script # licensed under GPL2+ # version 2.0 (21/12/2007) #SCOPE # The script scope is to start a ica session on different port for each thin client and # on default ports for diskless workstation and the server. # The port number used for the thinclient will be the last part of the thinclient IP # (Read the wiki http://italc.sourceforge.net for more information how to execute it automatically) ica="/usr/bin/ica"; #the script will continue only if ITALC clinet (ica) is installed. if [ -f $ica ];then #ends any previous ica session of the user that is running the script killall --user $(whoami) ica; #$ESPEAKER is empty if the script is called on the server or a Diskless Workstation. #That's true only if the script is executed after logged in the desktop manager. if [ -n "$ESPEAKER" ]; then #keep the last part of the client IP (ie: 192.168.0.250 --> 250) IP=$(echo $ESPEAKER | cut -f 1 -d ':' | cut -f 4 -d '.'); IVSBASEPORT=11000; ISDBASEPORT=11400; ivsport=$(( $IVSBASEPORT+$IP )); isdport=$(( $ISDBASEPORT+$IP )); #start ica for thin client $ica -noshm -ivsport $ivsport -isdport $isdport -display $DISPLAY & else #execute ica on the server or DW. Default options are ok. $ica & fi fi ----------- STEP 2: execute automaticaly ica at the login We have to create a link to call start_ica.sh by the users directory ~/.kde/autostart. May be a better way to do that, so pleas write it! For the existing users you can use the simple script below (A). For the new users I suggest to modify /etc/skell (B) so the link is automaticaly generated at user creation. A) ----------- #!/bin/bash #create link to call script start_ica.sh at the login. home_path="/skole/tjener/home0"; script_path="/usr/local/bin/start_ica.sh"; created_dir=0; created_links=0; for homedir in $(ls $home_path);do if [ ! -f $home_path/.kde/Autostart ];then mkdir -p $home_path/$homedir/.kde/Autostart; (( created_dir+=1 )); fi if [ ! -f $home_path/$homedir/.kde/Autostart/start_ica.sh ];then ln -s $script_path $home_path/$homedir/.kde/Autostart; (( created_links+=1 )); fi echo -e "$created_dirs folders have been created\n"; echo "$created_links links have been created"; done ------------- B) mkdir /etc/skell/.kde/Autostart ls -s /etc/skell/.kde/Autostart /usr/local/bin/start_ica.sh That's all for the thinclients. I tested it and it works. ################################################################### THE SCRIPT IS THOUGHT TO WORK ALSO WITH DISKLESS WORKSTATIONS (DW). I didn't have time enought to test it so I count on your help. After the creation of the DW envirorment we need only to install ITALC client (ica) and copy the public keys. So read instruction at http://italc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Download:Debian to isntall ica and execute them in the chroot envirorment chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ Once done it, exit from the chroot and remember to copy the pubblic key exit mkdir -r /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/italc/keys/private/teacher/ cp /etc/italc/keys/private/teacher/key /opt/ltps/i386/etc/italc/keys/private/teacher/ chmod -R a+r /opt/ltps/i386/etc/italc/ That's all. When a diskless workstation is started and a user log in, the script start_ica.sh is always called from Autostart but it will execute ica with standard ports. Remember to configure Italc master with the IP of the client, without specifying ports. I repeat that I didn't test it so please write if does or not.
