Indeed, as soon as I've got the thin client running on the IGEL, I will make my notes available. I've got to document this for internal purposes anyway.
My next task is to find the wrapper script in nxproxy and update that to point to the correct file locations on the IGEL file system, and then I'm down to tracing down missing libraries and scripting the linkages necessary for x2go client to run. >From what I can tell, most of this can be scripted fairly easily, but I have >to get to the finish line once, and then the remaining automation will be >fairly self-evident. -- Kermit Short ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Stefan Baur [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 2:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [X2Go-Dev] X2Go module purposes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Am 26.01.2015 um 22:27 schrieb Short, Kermit: > The thin clients we are using are manufactured by a German company > named IGEL.

I see. Quite an intereting use case. Would you like to make your documentation public, so other X2Go users may profit from it? IGELs are, as far as I know, pretty common devices, but I didn't know they could do that. - -Stefan - -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUxrILAAoJEG7d9BjNvlEZujIH/1Ee90zUeLAhIaXNX0Y34uty wKlvb3xP+YM3jUiI71387Hs3elw/sxP6aKEH4riwXb0UiKnqfFU0yBVb8z12YS+y KXiMolb7zhetxYBRoIKGcF2Bp3TQnkNsPGZu9AlpGxp4fqn/d3SiHCt4St2XMKm/ n2Pk9l2smEoaqTy65gGhisld4/TX1AJ0x+M5t1s7QmPOMpB2hATlQ+S43WkwjXYh +cZMcGExSvJxfPLjJe4tZdwPvfoCDt6J+PykI+F47vfmsyeXQzoMkPwSRnP3R5H6 I6mSeOQOEhUwVCioqk6SQm/k/jp4X1Slb5AKlBJWMeLrHD3pq+R/BhHeoIk4AHo= =i1dr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ x2go-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-dev _______________________________________________ x2go-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-dev
