Tip: Troubleshooting VGA Display issues for IGEL Linux based Operating Systems

Friday, May 31st, 2013

Hi Folks,

if you’re using a Linux based IGEL Thin Client together with an analog Monitor or TV and you get only a black Screen/frequency error or the Monitor goes in the standby mode this article will provide you some guidance how this can be fixed.

1) Don’t use a KVM Switch in general for your tests.

2) Make sure that you have the right VGA cable in place, there are two Versions available: 14 and 15 pole. Depending on the Display you could be required to use an 15 pole cable.

3) Not all issues can be fixed and if possible test also the connection with a DVI cable.

4) If using a DVI-I splitter cable to VGA / DVI-D make sure that the cable is an original IGEL Y-Cable or if using a Universal Desktop OS converted device a Y-Cable certified by the Vendor of the inbuild Graphic Card. Splitter cables DVI-I to 2x DVI or DVI to 2x VGA (both are not DVI Standard and only used if a vendor extend the DVI standard by there own) are not supported with original IGEL Thin Clients, for Universal Desktop OS converted devices this depends on the inbuild GFX Card: Please contact the hardware Vendor in this case.

5) If you’re using VGA and you got an issue try the following Settings in the IGEL Setup->System->Registry:

x.xserver0.analog_timings= Enabled
x.xserver0.connector= VGA, if you’re using two Displays also set x.xserver0.screen1.connector to the right port
x.xserver0.noddc= Enabled

Assign the configuration and reboot the device, if this did not solve the issue try 1-4 or open a support case at IGEL but mostly the issue should be fixed thru these Settings.

Cheers
Michael

Friday, May 24th, 2013

Hello Folks,

here is an updated release of our free IGEL Universal Management Suite Appliance for Microsoft Hyper-V (and Oracle Virtual Box).

Two Major changes:

1) You can use this Appliance now again with Microsoft Hyper-V 2008 R2
2) NEW: If you don’t have or want to use a Microsoft Hyper-V we do support the free Virtual Box Hypervisor from Oracle now on Windows and Linux Host’s.

Also the size is extremly reduced now without loosing any function to less then 1gb for the download file and less then 5GB for the full VM to give you enough capacity to install own application’s or do modifications to the appliance.

ccia23

The download ist available in the download section at www.cloud-client.info.

Have fun!

Michael

Donate: If you want to invite me to a beer for my work, just make a donation via https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=EGTTX7B49U56G

Getting started: Copy the folder cloud-client.info IGEL UMS Appliance 2.0 to your Hyper-V VM folder. Import the VM via the Hyper-V console and set the Network Card to the Network you want to connect to. Start the VM, by default the VM will pick up a DHCP address. If you want to use a static IP you can configure this in the DHCP Server by assigning a IP to the VM’s MAC-ID (see below). After the vm is started open the VM console and login to the System with the username igel (credentials see below. Now you can assign also a static IP (Network setup is on the right in the top menu). On the desktop you can see two links to open the UMS console or administrator tool.

If you’re using Oracle’s Virtual Box you can open the cloud-client.info UMS Appliance 2.2.vbox which can be found in the archive, important: After you double click this file it will be open with Virtual Box but before you you start it you have to point the HDD to the VHD File coming with this appliance->Otherwise it will not load the VHD and you can not boot the appliance at all.

Note: I’ve setup default directory rules, new clients will directly moved to the device folder. You can motify this of course depending on your needs.

New Tool: XenDesktop Helper

Wednesday, May 8th, 2013

Hi Folks,

i’ve written a small tool that i need for my own but maybe you can also use it…. It’s primary based on the idea that you can not figure out the Client IP, MAC-ID or Hostname in a connected XenDesktop/VDI in a Box session with user rights in a Login script in a simple way, also it can force a user logoff if the Client Hostname or IP do not fit compared with a given variable. The result will be displayed and also written into the registry to use it with other scripts, see also the readme for more informations.

xdhelper

 

The download is available in the www.cloud-client.info download area, this tool is not directly related to IGEL but of course it can be used in a XenDesktop/VDI in a Box session running on an IGEL Thin Client.

Important: It’s called XenDesktop Helper and not XenApp Helper->Do not use this tool with XenApp!!

Have Fun!
Michael

New Firmware Release: IGEL Universal Desktop LX/OS 4.12.100

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

Hello Folks,

yesterday IGEL Technology has released a big new major release:

IGEL Universal Desktop OS

=========================

Version 4.12.100

May 02 2013

 

Notes:

 

IMPORTANT:

Dual monitor configuration for “unsupported hardware” works only if “native

driver support” works properly. It is a prerequisite to assure that the

native driver is really working, as the fallback VESA driver does not provide

any dual monitor configuration. Have a look at Application Launcher’s

About tab->Hardware-Graphics Chipset. If VESA is listed there the native

driver does not work and dual monitor configuration is not functional.

Known issues:

 

[Client for RedHat Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops 3]

– USB Redirection is not supported in this firmware

 

[Quest vWorkspace]

– Multimedia Redirection:

Sound redirection is not working with WMV/WMA streams

– USB Redirection does not work reliable

 

[NVIDIA graphics support]

– In dual screen configurations DPMS monitor saving mode creates

display content corruptions on secondary VGA display after resume

 

 

New features:

 

[RDP]

– RDP RemoteApp: Improved icon handling

– A certificate verification error is shown now in the certificate dialog

during RDP session startup.

 

[ICA]

– Updated Citrix Receiver to version 12.1.6.231670

– Updated Citrix HDX Realtime Media Engine to version 1.2.0-39,

used for webcam redirection in Microsoft Lync Client.

– New high color icons in XenApp/Program Neighborhood

– Citrix XenApp/Program Neighborhood enhancements:

– If a user is logged in, the icons to start a new login window are now hidden.

– If a disconnect session is configured on desktop, start menu, application launcher or

desktop context menu, the logoff session forces a logoff now. The “disconnect” session

can be configured by registry keys:

sessions.pndisconnect0.settings.in_startmenu

sessions.pndisconnect0.settings.in_applaunch

sessions.pndisconnect0.settings.on_desktop

sessions.pndisconnect0.settings.in_pulldown.

– It is now possible to use UPN notation (e.g. “user@domain.com”) in XenApp/PN login

windows. The following applies ONLY when using alternative domain suffixes (for example

if the domain is called “domain.com”, but a user should be able to login with

“user@othername.local”): Due to a bug in the Citrix Receiver it is currently not possible to

use alternative domain suffixes without providing the “real” domain name as well. I.e. the

user name entry field may contain an alterative domain suffix in UPN notation (like “user@alternativename.com”),

but the domain entry field may not be empty in this case. Instead it has to contain the real domain (“domain.com”).

To make this less confusing for the user, it is now possible to lock or even remove the domain entry field in

PN/XenApp login windows. If the domain field is hidden, the first entry in the domain list is used for login.

To use UPN notation with alternative domain suffixes, do the following:

1. In the setup or in UMS go to the page Sessions > ICA > Citrix XenApp/Program Neighborhood > Server

2. Add the real domain name to the “Domains” list. It should be the first entry.

3. (optional) Change the parameter “Handling of domain in login windows” from “normal” to either “locked” or “hidden”.

4. (optional) If you choose “locked”, it is probably useful to deactivate the parameter “Remember username and domain”

on the “Logon” page. This will avoid problems if the last login was done with a domain name that differs

from the real domain name.

 

[Fabulatech] Improved USB remoting mechanism using Fabulatech USB Remote:

– HID devices (Class 03), USB HUBs (Class 04), USB network and communication

controllers (Classes 02, 0a and e0) and VIA VNT-6656 WLAN controller

(VID=160a, PID=3184) are excluded by default, thus such devices

always require an explicit allowing rule.

 

[VMware View]

– New VMware Horizon View Client 2.0.0.

– New support for RDP Multimedia Redirection in Windows 7 RDP sessions.

 

[Quest vWorkspace]

– Updated Quest vWorkspace to version 7.6

 

[Java]

server/path by DHCP tags, from where a “setup.ini” configuration is downloadable. This

feature is enabled by default and should be disabled, if it is not used. Following tags are

used:

ID 161 server name or ip address of the FTP server

ID 162 custom subdirectory: with empty DHCP tag 162 the setup.ini file must be placed

under “igel/ud” directory, if specified the setup.ini file must be placed under

“subdirectory/igel/ud” directory

Authentication: ID 184 username and ID 185 password.

and network.interfaces.ethernet.device1.hide_progress can be used.

– Wireless roaming: only messages are shown, instead of stopping and

starting the complete network interface.

Registry key: network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.reconnect_action

To hide messages at all use the registry key

network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.hide_progress

– Added new setup parameters to specify a systemwide proxy. This proxy is used by the

ICA/HDX Flash-PluginContainer for Flash-Redirection.

IGEL Setup -> Network -> Proxy

Registry keys: network.proxy.settings.*

In case of Flash-Redirection set the parameter “sys_proxy_type” to manual.

Also fill in the server and port parameters for the specific protocols http, ssl (=https), ftp

and SOCKS type proxies.

Note that the parameter sys_proxy_autoconfig_url can only be used by the local browser

and is not applicable for ICA/Flash-redirected sessions.

Note that the local browser (Firefox) also has proxy settings either for all browser sessions

or specific to each session. If local browser rather use the systemwide proxy,

go to the Registry and set browserglobal.app.conv_proxy_type to systemwide.
