3rd Party Package Installation Errors #753

Open Theknight2015 opened 1 year ago

Theknight2015 commented 1 year ago

I have recently found Thinstation as a possible solution to thin client remote desktop protocol for remoting into Windows PC's on a domain joined network for a proof of concept test on a organizational network infrastructure. My problem is, I'm trying to find a RDP package that will connect to windows 10+ versions that can be added to Thinstation as a package.

I have tried to use several of the basic built in packaged like freerdp and rdesktop but for some reason freerdp does not show on the client side and rdesktop does not allow a connection to anything. There are errors every time. Same for the VNC viewers. I was able to get a package for ThinLinc going after changing the built in URL to the correct URL but it also does not allow the connections due to certificate and authentication errors.

I tried installing Remmina by adding it to the build.conf file and the build URL file and it launches on the dev station when trying to build the client (I don't think it is supposed to do that) but doesn't show up in the client build once booted.

I'm also doing all of this over PXE boot through the lpxelinux and lpxelinux.0 files

My main goal is to figure out how to install Remmina or something similar to it so that it displays on the client side and can be utilized for RDP connections. I would also like to have 2 icons - 1 to connect to one server and a 2nd to connect to another server so that the end user who may not be technically inclined is able to simply click on the icon they want and it open the corresponding server in RDP.

I'm open to suggestions on what programs to use as well. I would like it to be a seamless experience that once the thin client boots up, it is as simple as picking the right server and getting to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will provide any information needed.

Build.conf file entry - package remmina # Remmina Client buildurl file entry - param remmina https://www.mizrahi.com.ve/crux/ports/#remmina remmina

Using the build function from the start menu on the dev station, build starts, adds modules, firmware and packages then adds packages to file tree. During file tree process, Remmina opens on Dev Station (Probably Not Supposed To Do That) and install continues to completion. Boot up client using PXE and client boots fine. Once on desktop, Thinlinc, chrome and firefox are all enabled so they show up but Remmina does not show up and is not listed in the applications menu.

Thanks again in advance for any help.

Theknight2015 commented 1 year ago

Just to clarify, this is to add the Host certificate of the RDP client to the RDP sessions of FreeRDP, Rdesktop and VNC correct? Or does the certificate process allow me to install Remmina and the certificates are why Remmina isn't actually getting installed? Apologies if this seems low level for you. I am just now getting into Linux systems and Thinstation.

Thinstation commented 1 year ago

This is to add a CA certificate to a system wide resource. ThinLinc will pick this up. FreeRDP will pick these up. RDesktoP won't. Remmina is already a standard package for ThinStation. You don't need an RPM or a build url. Just add package remmina to build.conf

I was actually able to figure that out after my last reply. I appreciate your help. I now have Remmina working on the client through PXE boot. My next 2 problems are the thinstation.conf.buildtime and the build.conf files. According to the instructions within the thinstation.conf.sample file, I should be able to use that file for configuring thinstation. My problem is, when I change thinstation.conf.sample to thinstation.conf.buildtime or thinstation.conf.network, I get the following errors-

When changing to thinstation.conf.buildtime from thinstation.conf.sample - On boot, I get error ".lib is not mountable" and it drops to shell with no boot (I checked with both Network manager and Autonet independently after building both times and it still does it on both) When changing to thinstation.conf.network from thinstation.conf.sample - On boot the operation appears to work because the thinclient boots from PXE but it does not actually use the thinstation.conf.network file for any config options. I know this because the only thing I changed was the screen blackout time.

Any additional help on why this would be ignoring .network file placed in /thinstation/build or why the .buildtime file when overwritten by the .sample file causes a boot failure? I'm guessing I'm missing something in one of the files but I can't tell what. And just to be clear, the only things I'm changing in the .buildtime and .network files no matter which way I go with Network Manager or Autonet in build.config is the screen blank time. Maybe there is a link of some sort I'm just not understanding or missing?

I thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.

Thinstation commented 1 year ago

thinstation.conf.sample is like every possible setting that could be applied to a build. I doubt it ever worked as an actual config. Best to just use it for reference. set NET_FILE_ENABLED=true in .buildtime, and include package netfiles in build.conf. Your .network file will need to be readable under your tftp folder structure. Check logs to see where things are being hunted for.

Check logs to see where things are being hunted for.

Maybe I'm not understanding correctly so I tried 2 different things.

First: The original thinstation.conf.buildtime file does not contain the option NET_FILE_ENABLED=XXXX but it is in the thinstation.conf.sample file. When I use the thinstation.conf.sample file and rename it to thinstation.conf.buildtime and build the images I run into the issue of it not working correctly during boot. I get the error of "/lib is not mountable" I tried setting "NET_FILE_ENABLED=true" in the thinstation.conf.sample file and renaming it to thinstation.conf.buildtime - I then got the error of "/lib is not mountable" and right before that screen a quick flash screen of an error of "could not retreive global config file". After that I copied the original thinstation.conf.sample file (Not the one with modified NET_FILE_ENABLE=true) and renamed it thinstation.conf.network and gave read, write and execute permissions to it in the /thinstation/build/ directory for all users. I also had the original thinstation.conf.buildtime file. It does not pull any settings from the thinstation.conf.network file.

Second: After confirming all of this, I added the "NET_FILE_ENABLED=Off" parameter from the thinstation.conf.sample file to the original thinstation.conf.buildtime file and changing the parameter to "NET_FILE_ENABLED=true" like you suggested. I did this on the stock thinstation.conf.buildtime file hoping that I was just misunderstanding the original solution and that once I did this it would pull from the modified thinstation.conf.sample file that I copied and renamed to thinstation.conf.network. Unfortunately it does not. After doing that I tried simply copying the settings I wanted to change from the thinstation.conf.sample file to the thinstation.conf.buildtime file and again I got a "/lib not mountable" error due to those parameters not being able to be read in that file I'm assuming.

I'm guessing I'm not modifying the correct .buildtime file and that maybe there is a different .buildtime file somewhere that you are referring to and I'm just unaware of it? Or maybe there is a broken file structure with my Dev Station install? I'm really at a loss of what to do at this point.

I have attached 3 files in a .zip archive with this reply:

Again, any help would be much appreciated and I thank you for taking the time out to look over this.

How would you like me to send them? GitHub says it won't allow me to upload them directly because they aren't a supported file format with their file types being .conf, .buildtime and . network

Thinstation commented 1 year ago

They are text files, you can cut and paste.

also, thinstation.conf.sample is irrelevant, don't ever send that.

Okay, I'll post tomorrow when I get back to the dev station. I appreciate the info. I'm begining to think I have an outdated version and may need to just start from begining. I'll update tomorrow.

My apologies, I did not mean to imply that you aren't doing a fantastic job. I simply meant I'm begining to think I have an outdated/older version of thinstation. I do not believe I have 6.2.13 as the about section of the Dev station only says 6.2 and no additional info.

Here is the Build.conf file `################################################

--- Thinstation Build Config ---

################################################ # #

This is Thinstation s basic setup file. In this file you decide which

hardware, programs and features to be included in the Thinstation

boot image generated by running "./build".

#

You can customize/limit the possibilities in the thinstation.conf

files later.

#

Anything after a "#" is a comment. You activate "things" by removing

the "#" and remove "things" by putting a "#" in front of them.

#

First we define which modules to include. Modules are hardware

drivers. NEVER include more than necessary - the more modules, the

longer boot time.

########################################################

--- Machine Modules to include in boot image ---

########################################################

A machine profile is a set of modules for a specific set of hardware

components like a thinclient with adapters. It does not include any

filesystem modules, those need to be selected individualy. Making a

a machine profile is a two step process. First you will need to make

an allmodules build like "./build --allmodules" with the extensions-x

package included. Once the client machine is booted with that image

you can open and xterm or telnet in and run "hwlister.sh". hwlister.sh

will compile some lists and attempt to post them to the pxe server assigned

to the client. If the pxe server is this workstation and you are hosting

files directly out of this build env, you can then run

"./mkmachine SOME-MODEL" and the files will be put into the machine folder

under that model name. Now all you have to do is add a line to this file

like "machine SOME-MODEL" and you will no longer have to make

allmodules builds. If this is not the pxe server, you will have to

move stuff around on your own, but the most important files are

modules.list and firmware.list.

################################################

--- Modules to include in boot image ---

################################################

Any modules may be added as "module" or "module_pkg".

If defined as a "module", the driver is included in the boot image.

If defined as a "module_pkg", the driver is added from outside the

image, such as from a tftp server. See note below for more details.

#

Normally you should use "module". Only use "module_pkg" if you want

to dynamically load modules.

Note: If you create a module_pkg network driver, and decide to load it

from a tftp server, it won t work. This is because the image

won t have a network driver to get the module_pkg in the first

place.

--- Permanent Storage Options

#

STORAGE_PATH Path to where storage device is mounted to save

profile settings. This should be one of

/mnt/usbdevice/sdX/partX or disc

/mnt/floppy

/mnt/disc/hdX/partX

/mnt/nfs

/mnt/smb

#

Note that the profile settings are stored under

a subfolder for this path. So the path to the

stored settings would be something like

/mnt/floppy/thinstation.profile

See the FAQ on the website for more details on this

#

Also checkout README.IMPORTANT for the valid

config files which you can place here

a typical file to store config file settings is

/mnt/floppy/thinstation.profile/thinstation.conf.user

#

Also note that the .profile can be changed by using

the below STORAGE_PREFIX

STORAGE_PREFIX This is prefex for the folder name to store settings

in on the storage device. You can also use one of the

special characters below.

#

M = Mac Address

H = Hostname

I = Ip Address

#

Note default prefix for storing the profile is

.profile

STORAGE_CONFIG1-8 This is the path for any user defined settings

which will always override the profile path above

The files are tried on order on each device specified

STORAGE_PATH=/mnt/nfs

STORAGE_PREFIX=H

STORAGE_CONFIG1=/mnt/floppy

STORAGE_CONFIG2=/mnt/cdrom

STORAGE_CONFIG3=/mnt/disc/hda/part1

STORAGE_CONFIG4=/mnt/usbdevice/sda/part1

EXPERIMENTAL

Dual Head Support

#

This allows two seperate X sessions to be started with seperate input devices. This allows

effectively two seperate machines within the same PC. You will need seperate screen cards

to enable this. It is best to use with 1 AGP card and 1 PCI card.

Check out http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/eng-video.html for a list of known compatable screen cards

Input Device support should be:

#

Primary mouse and keyboard PS/2

Secondary mouse and keyboard USB

#

There is some basic detection scripts for this, but these will need to be improved in TS 3.0.

If thinstation doesn't detect both a USB keyboard and mouse it will default back to dual

screen support, not dual head.

#

This is not considered stable. If you exit the session, or try to change to a console screen

with Alt-F1 etc... it will probably crash the machine. If it doesn't work with your hardware

there is nothing that can be done about it.

The kernel Advanced Power Management module is disabled when using dual screen as it causes the

second screen to crash.

Note the below option only supports 1-2, anything more than two won't work. This is provided

for future development, to create a machine with more than two seperate sessions.

SESSION_#_SCREEN_POSITION 1-X When using dual screen support you can specify the position

of each session. This allows to seperate sessions to be on

seperate screens. If only 1 session is in use, this option will

make no differnece. You can specify between 1+ positions

Notes: Thank you in advance for any help you may proviede. I'm also going to try downloading the newest version of thinstation and installing on a separate VM and see if maybe I have somehow missed something somewhere.
