Hello, i try to make the terminal server grab the lan printer, but it doesn't work.
I connect to to it through freerdp.

I write this in the thinstation.conf.buildtime:

CUPS_PRINTER_0_NAME="Kyocera TASKalfa 3500i"
CUPS_PRINTER_0_DEVICEURI="socket://192.168.0.3"
CUPS_PRINTER_0_DRIVER="drv:///sample.drv/generpcl.ppd"
and
SESSION_0_FREERDP_OPTIONS="/f /v /d /cert-ignore /g /printer"

What do i do wrong?
P.S. i don't specify the /printer parameter as later i will add more printers and i need them all to be available. According to the xfreerdp keys, if i write just '/printer' it should take all the printers.

I tried to specify the printer and still nothing.

Maybe something else is required? Or i write these lines wrong?

Does the printer get mapped in CUPS with those lines? Check at http://localhost:631

@RichCoop

I should follow localhost from the inside of thinstaion? Sorry for stupid questions, I'm just kinda new to this.

@Thinstation

Yes, you need to open a web browser and go to http://localhost:631 on a thinstation.

So i need to add a package with it to the build.conf? Or you meant open this from the terminal session?

@Thinstation

Do a build with chrome, and then open it on the thinstation and confirm that your printer was mapped.

I added chrome package into the build.conf.
When i try to run it, thinstation says:
[0211/123110.157789:ERROR:file_writer.cc(98)] writev: No space left on device (28)
[0211/123110.157789:ERROR:crash_report_exception_handler.cc(226)] WriteEverything failed
Trace/breakpoint trap

rootfs is 100% used, i believe this is the problem, how can i add more space to it? The disk itself thinstation runs on is 250g.

Also I didn't include 'package lprng' in the build.conf because if i do that i receive Kernel panic error during the thinstation launch.

More RAM. Try developing a virtual machine first.

More ram? Isn't 4 gb enough for this?

Hmmm during the build stage all seems to be fine, got to check the process logs more carefully though. However it would be strange that 250gb of the disk space isn't enough for it.
As for the ram, i thought 4 gb is enough too, the problem is, it is a physical machine and 4gb is the max, we don't have any more ddr2. Can it be that with the chrome package some other packages are necessary? Also i checked df -h, here is what it shows:
Filesystem, size, used,available,use%,mounted on
rootfs 1.4G 1.4g 0 100% /
devtmpfs 1.4G 0 1.4G 0% /dev

rootfs 1.4G 1.4g 0 100% /
is full. free up some space on /

How should i do that?

@Thinstation

You need more RAM. Develop on a VM. Once you have everything working, you can remove the things you don't need anymore and make your image small for real hardware.

I ve tired it on another physical machine, this time it has 8gb RAM, no error above, except it doesn't work either.
This time it only says 'Trace/breakpoint trap'

@RichCoop

Perhaps i need to include more packages?

@RichCoop

Other browsers don't work either.

@Thinstation

The browser is the most tested application for ThinStation that there is. Maype Putin did something to your internet?

@RichCoop
Copy link
Author

Unlikely, as we use proxy in Germany. I receive this error all the time:

'Trace/breakpoint trap'

I'm pretty sure i need some more packages to include, which ones should be 100% included, maybe i miss some?

@Thinstation

You can use the /build/conf/basic/* files. Just uncomment chrome and build.

@RichCoop

Author

So, you suggest to replace my current ones with these? OK, i will try it.

@RichCoop

Author

Still the same, i think the reason is that these browsers require some graphics.
I tried openbox, but it fails to run, it says:

"Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable"

Same thing for xfmw4.

@Thinstation

Are you doing an allmodules/allfirmware build with all the xorg7- (except nvidia)?

@RichCoop
Copy link
Author

I picked all the xorg7 including nvidia and i build with --allmodules and --autodl.
The error is the same.

I cleaned my chroot and did everything again, this time without the nvidia, no changes.

@Thinstation

Idk. VM's with browsers are the most tested build ever. I made a whole video running through every step.

build.conf.txt
thinstation.conf.buildtime.txt

I tried on several physical machines, same thing. Maybe i miss something in my packages?

@Thinstation

And when you build in a VM?

The vm doesn't launch i receive the error: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on uknown-block (0,0)

After some adjustments it gives me this error instead: "/init: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."

Dunno what to do now :/

That was the soltution, but all the other problems above persist in the virutal machine aswell.

With ram that was my fault yes, however i was pretty sure that 4 gb would be enough as it turned out i needed 6.
But still can't open chrome on the VM too, aswell as i can't setup printers.

It is highly unlikely as i downloaded and configured things directly from the links here. And i tried this on the physical machines and the virtual ones. I even tried a machine with 8 gb ram and still the same thing. Tried it in different networks and still the same thing. I believe i miss something in the configs, but i don't know what.

I ve tried this again, it looks like openbox works in the session where connection window pops up. But i can't open anything else there, if i open another terminal session, openbox doesn't work aswell as any browsers.
