Dear all,
maybe someone can give me a hint ...
I tried to set up a client server solution to replace LTSP. Some Background:
- Server - 2 CPU -> 8 Core - 20 GB RAM - 1G Network / 2 NIC - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - VirtualBox
- Client Futro S400 256 MB RAM or HP Thin Client HSTNC-012-TC (1 GB RAM)
I set everything up according to "http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:tce:install" in an virtualbox (actually 2 boxes - one as "server" one as "pxe-boot-server"
- both Ubuntu 14.04 server minimal)
"sudo x2gothinclient_update" as well as "sudo x2gothinclient_create" both end with a message that he cannot follow / write to symlink - but seems this is a minor problem
when I start a client he gets an IP and boots into the menu - if I choose "Thin Clint..." he further boots into the chroot and finally I get a terminal to log in. Within the chroot I gave root a password and can login. With the command "startx x2goclient" the x2goclient is started and I can establish a session and connect to my application-server. So far so good - but
- I can't do this (because of x server errors as "normal user") - minor problem
- everything is terrible slow - big problem - LTSP is much much faster ...
- I can't change screen resolutions
I made the experience that x2go is a wonderful piece of software and when I connect to my company server from outside its nearly as fast as when I work in the office via LTSP... so I assume that I made mistakes ?!? Any hints please? Why is it so unacceptable slow and I thought that I won't get a terminal and the clients would boot direct into the x2goclient window?
