Hi Morty,
I have a customer that has patched the x2gothinclient to use local
session profile files. On the way he discovered that X2go thin client
systems do not have the loop network device set up. Could you give
your opinion on that?
File: "/etc/init.d/ramdrive"
after: cat /proc/mounts> /ramdrive/mtab # setup lo interface ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
He also has modified the thinclient script in a way that you can run
x2goclient on the thin client without LDAP. He provides a session
profile ,,sessions file'' and puts that into ~/.x2goclient/sessions.
But he also need some fixes for that.
Maybe we see an option to incorporate this in the x2gothinclient, so
that both methods are available in the code and it merely needs some
commenting and uncommenting or whatsoever to enable/disable
LDAP/sessions-file.
Here are the changes he proposes:

Yes. I did that manually. :)
I am very inn favour of that.
Actually you want to get rid of all the ramdrive-stuff and put that into the x2go-home (My script mounts that using tmpfs). Also you probably want "--no-session-edit".
Yea. Something like that. One should probably just have a reference-folder which get's copied to the user home.
See [1]. This shouldn't be needed any more. Basically I want to get rid of the thinclientsystem and x2gothinclient-package and replace them by an creation script. I believe that this will make it easier to adjust your thinclient to your needs. It's probaly worth replacing the inline-cats with explicit files.

Hi there,
just a short reminder ("...you want to get rid of all the ramdrive-stuff..."):
Some days ago I proposed a (to my mind) more flexible and less invasive thinclient solution based on tempfs and aufs in order to get rid of all that ramdrive/symlink stuff. This can be done by merging a tempfs over the read only root filesystem using aufs.

Hi Michael,
this has already been done, but is not yet in the official repositories, because it needs some cleanup: http://i4git.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/x2gothinclientsystem.git/blob/b0260a...

Hi Moritz,

this seems to be yet another approach dealing with several tmpfs mount points. This approach - however - only provides write access to (pre)selected filesystem locations.
Of course this solution is better than the /ramdrive based solution but (in my opinion) not as flexible as it could be.
Nevertheless the git version is a great improvement and I'm really looking forward to the next release.

I have a customer that also needs a thin client solution. If you need
any help, let me know.

Hi Mike,
at the moment time is a spare thing (I have some other projects, too). You could just pull the branch to x2go and continue working on it (@Heinz: Any concerns?). I believe that 90% of the stuff is already working. At least you should be able to boot. Main todo is to do the adjustments to get it running without using ldap. I did that manually, especially because you need to create the profiles to your need. I you come up with a more general solution for this, that would be great.
