Hi Martin,
after having successfully used SGD 4.2 for a while I just downloaded
and
installed SGD 4.4 on a AMD machine running Solaris 10 11/06.
Installation worked like a charm, no additional (security) package(s)
required. However, it does not work at all (for me). I cannot connect,
neither from a Mac, nor from Solaris SPARC nor from Windows. Since a
native client for Mac OSX is no longer available for the Mac :-(, I
downloaded the native client for Solaris SPARC, but it seems this
ttatcc
does nothing more than starting a web browser with the URL of the
tarantella server!!??
One of the messages about 4.4 mentioned:
"The 4.40 release (yesterday's) no longer supports *any* native client"
Does that perhaps relate to your problems?
I read that but I am not sure what that means. When connecting to the
greeting page of a SGD 4.4 server there still is an entry for
"Installing the Sun Secure Global Desktop Client". The MacOSX row now
shows "Not supported" but there seems to be one for Soalris, Linux and
Windows. I only tried the Solaris Sparc client which actually is a tool
named ttattc or similar. This also behaves similar to the old one at
first but after entering the location it simply forwards that to the
default web browser. I read something about a new feature that allows
to integrate the configured SGD apps into the start menu of GNOME (to
avoid the browser road). However, we are using Window Maker (for very
good reasons). We have a dock but no start menu!!?? I wonder how SGD is
supposed to integrate into that or any other window manager with a
slightly different philosophy.
We never accessed the SGD server via a browser since this takes far too
long for daily usage. Only the native client gave us quick access to
the SGD apps. It seems we are hosed now! Since I wasn't able to connect
to the server either way ("Failed to install Tarantella Client
Component") I finally did "tarantella uninstall -purge" and reinstalled
SGD 4.2. :-(
However, if anybody got this new version to work, may be even in a
GNOME-free environment I would be very interested to hear how.
Thanks,
Andreas
