I’d like to add:
Utterly fearless, I followed the instructions to set up TCE Live as they are.
I managed to solve the pxelinux issue temporarily by copying all needed files into the tftp root.
Currently I only have one issue left:
I prepared a x2go-tce.sessionsx2go-tce.sessions file as described. The X2Go client of the thin client does not fetch it. I don’t see any errors in log files, and according to the http server log, the thin client doesn’t even try to fetch something.
Any hints?
Kind regards,
Jens

Dear people of X2Go,
I did a fresh install of Debian 9 in a VM. I installed X2Go as stated here: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver
Then I tried to install the thin client environment as explained here:
https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:tce:install
I did not manage to get it running. First, I tried x2gothinclient_create with mainly the default options. The process aborted, in between 404s came up because the x2go-repos apparently don’t have wheezy support anymore. Then I switched to stretch and tried again. This seemed to work out, but the following links in /srv/tftp are broken (i.e. the files are missing) pxelinux.0 -> /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 vesamenu.c32 -> /usr/lib/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 memtest86+.bin -> /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/boot/memtest86+.bin
In a third try, I changed the release to jessie and started x2gothinclient_create over. The process then aborts with unmet dependencies of x2goclient-chroot…
I meanwhile noticed the existence of TCE Live, but stating "This page is very much Work in Progess. Please leave a note on x2go-user@lists.x2go.org if you're interested in trying this out, so we can guide you along if something goes wrong.“
So, here I am :)
My first question is: what is the recommended method for thin client environment?
What do I need to consider if I want to use the Live method?
Kind regards,
Jens
