Chapter 17. Building Custom Linux Desktops with the ThinLinc Desktop Customizer
Add to the left selectbox the applications that should appear in the menu folder selected above, for the
users that are assigned this Application Group. The right selectbox lists the applications defined or
found installed on the system. If there are no applications available, you’ve forgotten to define
Applications, as documented in Section 17.2.5.
• Applications Added to Desktop
Add to the left selectbox the applications that should appear as icons on the desktop of the users that
are assigned this Application Group. Just as for Application added to the menu, only applications
earlier defined, or automatically found, will show up as selectable.
• Unix Groups with this Application Group
This is where you connect Unix groups to Application Groups. If for example a specific school should
be assigned this Application Group, and all the pupils of that school are members of the Unix group
"school-1", add the Unix group "school-1" to the left selectbox. When logging in, the group
memberships of each user is inspected to determine which Application Groups to assign to the user.
Note: If the mapping between the numerical group id and the group name doesn’t work, the group
is shown as #<gid>. This might be because the group has been removed from the system, or
because the operating system has problems in the connection to the directory service used.
• Specific Users with this Application Group
This parameter allows you to decide that specific users should be assigned this Application Group as
well, even if they are not a member of one of the groups that were added above. This way, for very
specialized applications, no Unix group needs to be created. Another way of using this field would be
that the teachers of a specific class could be added to the Application Group for that class, if the
teachers are not part of the unix group that is associated with the class.
Note: If the mapping between the numerical user id and the user name doesn’t work, the user is
shown as #<uid>. This might be because the user has been removed from the system, or
because the operating system has problems in the connection to the directory service used.
• ThinLinc profiles with this Application Group
This setting allows you to connect the Application Group to ThinLinc Profiles as documented in
Section 14.4.3. This allows for different Application Groups to be selected based on user input after
login.
• Shell Command Activating this Application Group
This setting allows you to activate application groups based on the return value of an arbitrary
command. If the command returns 0 (which is the standard return code for success for shell
commands), the application group will be activated.
