I am working on a windows VDI deployment for my employer. We have been trying to find an open source solution to re-purpose our current aging desktops. Originally we were looking for a small PXE/USB boot solution to launch a web browser to attach to Apache Guacamole. That is when I remembered poking a stick at Porteus Kiosk a few years ago when implementing a timeclock solution. When looking into downloading it for testing, I discovered the Thinclient port. I figured, ok, another opensource/linux based thinclient. It's going to suck just like all the others I have tried. I was pleasently surprised! It worked flawlessly and did not require a lot of cursing and swearing to get it to connect to my MS VDI instances. Now configuring it to operate the way I want is a little more work, but I'm getting there. I have created the thinclient PXE image and tested it. No problem. My users are primarily MS Windows users, so I am trying to get the thinclient to launch a preconfigured remmina connection. I can accomplish this using the run_command. In fact the run_command from you documentation(
https://porteus-kiosk.org/thinclient.ht ... ct_remmina) worked.
I have one issue, when the RDP connetion launches, I get a pop-up remmina window that states "The news is turned off....."
Is there anyway to stop this from happenning. When running the remmina gui and launching the connection, it does not happen. If I can get rid of this popup, I think I will have found a solution that will satisfy my employer, and we will start rolling out test instances to some our older worksstations, Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work everyone! This distro rocks!!!!
