Chapter 8. Client Platforms
6. If custom configuration of the client, for example to support local drives, is needed, transfer a
custom client configuration file (tlclient.conf) to /setup/thinlinc/tlclient.conf on the eLux clients
using the "Transfer files" functionality available in the properties of devices or organisation units in
Scout (under the Files tab). The files are transferred when the client is restarted.
8.5.3. VXL
The recommended way of running the ThinLinc client on these terminals is to migrate to the "eLux"
platform. See Section 8.5.2 for more information. Note however that only a few VXL terminals are
supported by eLux.
8.5.4. HP ThinPro Terminals
HP ThinPro terminals are based on Ubuntu, and therefore one can use the DEB package provided in our
ThinLinc Client bundle for this terminal. The "armel" package is used on ARM based terminals such as
t410. For other terminals, use the "i386" package.
8.5.4.1. Manual installation/upgrade of ThinLinc Client
Below we will describe the process of manually installing the ThinLinc Client on Ubuntu based HP
ThinPro Linux terminals.
1. Use the tool "Administrator/User mode switch" to authenticate as administrator.
2. Start an X terminal from the advanced tab in the control panel.
3. Unlock the filesystem:
# fsunlock
4. Copy the ThinLinc Client .deb package from ThinLinc Client bundle onto a USB memory stick, and
connect it to the terminal. Go into the directory which represents your connected USB device with
command:
# cd /tmp/tmpfs/media/my_usb_storage
As an alternative, it is also possible to download the client package from a web server using the
"wget" command.
5. Install the ThinLinc Client package using Debian package manager command:
# dpkg -i thinlinc-client
*
.deb
6. Lock down the filesystem before closing the X terminal window:
# fslock
7. Reboot.
8. Add a ThinLinc connection in the connection manager.
The HP "Connection Wizard" does not include an entry for ThinLinc. Press "Skip", then add a ThinLinc
Connection in the "Connection Manager".
