Hi Steffen,

Thanks for the help... Ive tried to summarize the journey so far :-


i) Build a OTC Development System.
    Download Ubuntu 9.04 32bit Server based iso.
ii) Install the distro, with an openssh server.
    I set the DNS values for the server.
iii) login and configure the system and  the apt sources.
    # vi /etc/hosts /etc/hostname
    { set IP and host name etc }
    # vi /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty mainrestricted universe multiversedeb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates mainrestricted universe multiversedeb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security mainrestricted universe multiverse


        # Optional

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backportsmain restricted universe multiverse

iv) Perform an Update
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get dist-upgrade
    # reboot
v) Add the OTC repositories.
    # vi /etc/apt/sources.list
        ....
        deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/devel/ ./

deb-srchttp://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-experimental/ ./

        deb-src http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/os/ ./

{ I selected the experimental distro, to get the latest drivers...no issues so far }


vi) Add the Key and update
     # wget http://archive.openthinclient.org/key.gpg -O - | apt-key add -
     # apt-get update

vii) Add the tcos development system
     # apt-get install tcos-dev

viii) Add the apache / package setup
     # apt-get install apache2
     # PACKAGE_DIR=/var/www/openthinclient/manager-contrib
     # mkdir -p "$PACKAGE_DIR"

# cd "$PACKAGE_DIR" && dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip >Packages.gz

    and set the permissions ( Not ideal, but its a development system )
     # chown -R www-data:www-data $PACKAGE_DIR
     # chmod -R a+rw $PACKAGE_DIR

ix) I then swapped to a 'user' rather than continued as root.

{login as the development user - that has access to the$PACKAGE_DIR directory, User has sudo priveldges as well }

    Setup the package development.
     $ export DEBEMAIL="gary@a.b"
     $ export DEBFULLNAME="Gary"
     $ cd
     $ mkdir packagedevelop
     $ mkdir source

/*Artwork-tcos*/

x) For artwork-tcos package
     $ cd source
     { Get the source files  }

$ apt-get source artwork-tcos { This gets the source filesartwork-tcos_0.1-2.tar.gz, and unpacks the files into the folderartwork-tcos-0.1 }

     $ cd ../
xi) Create the new package
     $ cd packagedevelop
     $ tcos_genpackage artwork-tcos-new
     $ cd artwork-tcos-new/artwork-tcos-new-0.0.1
     $ rm -rf artwork-tcos-new/*
     { Copy the source from the download over the top }
     $ cp -r ../../../source/artwork-tcos-0.1/* artwork-tcos-new

xii)     { change the png/image files }

xiv) Build the package
     $ cd ~/packagedevelop/artwork-tcos-new/artwork-tcos-new-0.0.1
     $ tcos_buildpackage
     $ cd ..
     $ ls -l

<...truncated...>

xv) Upload to the package website
    $  tcos_upload-debs artwork-tcos-new_0.0.1-1_i386.deb

xvi) OpenThinClient Manager , on a running 12.04 server. Java 6.
 - Server is successfully running. Clients Boot. Package Manager launches
    Add the package server/development server to the server
    # vi /opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/etc/sources.list
    Add the line

debhttp://openthinclient-development/openthinclient/manager-contrib ./


xvii) Update the Packages

OpenThinClientManager->Package Management : Right Klick -> Searchfor updates

    Installable Packages -> Select 'artwork-tcos-new' and add it in
    Appears as an installed application


At this point, Ive tried

 * Adding artwork-tcos-new as an application,
 * and added it to the users packages , Added to a User Group etc
 * It appears as an Icon on the thinclient desktop when the user logs
   in , but doesnt run or impact the boot gdm screens )
 * Added it to ThinClients, the test device...   Nothing visible


/*Usplash;*//*
*/
Same approach as above...Update the boot splash PNG

Added it to the OpenThinClient Manager->Realm->ThinClient as a packageto be installed there... Nothing visible/No boot image



Hopefully makes sense...

Thank you


Gary
