Re: [SunRay-Users] VDA Kit - wait.png is flickering past the viewer

[Cyrille Moureaux]

Hi Lars,

Hi again ,   I also got  SSGD  set up today.

The  " Please WAIT "   bit map  thats displayed on a Sunray  with 
Xloadimage  while a VM starts up is seen during a very brief moment.
If I dont watch the screen intently  I miss it completly.  Im using   
Sun Ray  170  units with the SRS4  from this August.

It looks like the uttsc  binary is overwriting  the  Xroot window 
immediately after Xloadimage has displayed the WAIT.png
so the wait  period is spent  looking at a black  screen produced by 
"uttsc"
I did not have the solution deployed  with previous versions of the 
software  so maybe uttsc did not overwrite the Xroot  window
previously , I dont know. 
The way it works now, the Xloadimage  bitmap is not really  seen by the 
end user.

Normally, uttsc isn't started until after the VDA has successfully 
started the virtual desktop, and been able to connect to its RDP port 
itself (to ensure that once we launch uttsc, it's going to succeed). If 
the virtual desktop is already started and ready, then yes the VDA will 
return reasonably quickly with its IP and thus uttsc will be started 
almost immediately, but then unless there's some connectivity issue or a 
problem with the Windows OS on the virtual machine, it should get to the 
login prompt almost immediately.

One thing that I did on occasion see, though, is that the -r device 
redirection we've included in the uttsc startup (to redirect the mounted 
devices from the Sun Ray to the U drive of the Windows OS) caused some 
hangings in the execution of uttsc. Could you maybe try and remove that 
option in the vda-kiosk.sh script invocation of uttsc and see if that 
makes any difference in your setup?

Thanks,

Cyrille
