I have several Debian 8 LTSP servers. For a summer program, I need to create an
additional image for a kiosk option to load the VMWare View client.
These are the steps I used to create the image:
+++++++++++++++
On the ltsp server:
ltsp-build-client --arch=i386 --chroot=vdi --dist=jessie
--mirror=http://httpredir.debian.org/debian --kiosk --prompt-rootpass
--purge-chroot
Enter the chroot and perform the following tasks:
ltsp-chroot -p -d -a vdi
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list << EOF
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
EOF
apt-get update
apt-get -y install vim aptitude linux-image-686-pae libxss1 openssl
openssh-server libudev1 libglibmm-2.4 firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-realtek
less wget
ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
apt-get -y purge linux-image-586 linux-image-3.16.0-4-586 linux-image-486
wget
https://download3.vmware.com/software/view/viewclients/CART15Q3/VMware-Horizon-Client-3.5.0-2999900.x86.bundle
sh VMware-Horizon-Client-3.5.0-2999900.x86.bundle
rm VMware-Horizon-Client-3.5.0-2999900.x86.bundle
cat > /usr/share/applications/vmware-view-client.desktop << EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8

cat > /etc/vmware/view-mandatory-config << EOF
view.sslVerificationMode="3"

(You can ignore the next 4 lines - I have a custom a update-kernels.conf)
rm -r /boot/pxelinux.cfg
scp root@`hostname`:/etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf /etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf
sed -i 's|ltsp/i386|ltsp/vdi|g' /etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf
scp root@`hostname`:/boot/lpxelinux.0 /boot
/usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels
adduser --no-create-home --disabled-password --gecos ",,," ltspkiosk
adduser ltspkiosk audio
adduser ltspkiosk pulse
adduser ltspkiosk pulse-access
Exit the chroot
On the ltsp server again:
ltsp=update-image vdi
rm -r /var/lib/tftpboot/lsp/vdi/pxelinux.cfg
ltsp-update-kernels
Edit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/vdi/lts.conf (add to top of section [default]):
KIOSK_EXE=/usr/bin/vmware-view
KIOSK_OPTIONS="--fullscreen --protocol=PCOIP -s view.your.domain -l -d CSPC1"
SCREEN_07=kiosk
+++++++++++++++
Even if I comment out the KIOSK exe and options, the client still won't start
in kiosk mode (e.g. Firefox) and just drops into the LTSP login screen.
Any suggestions?
