Re: [Thinstation-general] SGD (Tarantella) 4.3

[Adam A. <pr...@cc...>]

Hello,

I worded my last e-mail a bit poorly...let me see if I can do it a 
little better this time...

When we first attempted to run the webtop using SGD 4.2, we got the 
"Failed to install tarantella client component" error from the small 
java applet that the webtop uses to install the client component. Sun's 
website said that usually means a permissions error.

To get the system to work, I built a package that made the proper 
directory structure in the default user's home directory, and copied the 
client component over. This worked fine, and the thinclient could 
connect to SGD.

When we upgraded to 4.3, I updated the client component in my package, 
and re-built the Thinstation image. To my dismay, I started getting the 
"Failed to install" error again, even though the client component was in 
the right place.

So, in my package's init script, I went ahead and made the directory 
structure and copied the component, and then chmoded the whole structure 
to 777 just to test and see if the applet that the webtop uses could do 
its work. Even then, it still failed to install the client 
component...even though it was there.

Then, I ONLY chmoded the home directory to 777 so see how far the applet 
can go on its own. To my knowledge, it should build the directory 
structure, copy the client components over from the SGD server you are 
attempting to connect to, and make a profile.xml of machine and user 
specific configurations.

It looks like the applet built the directory structure, but that's as 
far as it got. And that's where I stand at the moment. Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

Also, I can send the package I built a little later this afternoon when 
I get into work.

Thanks!
