Bootlocal.sh runs before tc is logged in and X is started.
Any X programs that you want to run at boot should be added to .xsession.

.xsesion in what directory?

thanks

then i`m booting from usb then home/tc/.xsession

my point was pxe booting and auto rdp login screen to terminal server. i rebuild kernel with modified scel/.xsession

all works ok!!! booting is about 30 sec.!!!

last problem is: tc boot, user get win terminal login screen, but if they did not input username/pass som time, win terminal server drop session and user get standart, clean tiny desktop...

but bootlocal.sh problem is SOLVED, thanks a lot, Gerald!

You can put rdesktop in a loop:

while [ 1 ]; do
rdesktop -f terminal
done

good idea!

i have in .xsession line full path/rdesktop terminal -f

can i use in .xsesion

while [ 1 ]; do
path/rdesktop -f terminal
done

it can be a perfect solution CURAGA!!!!

i can try only tomorrow in the morning  :)

Hmm, I don't know how to tell the difference between an user-closed window and a window closed by the app itself.

i was try

while [ 1 ]; do
path/rdesktop -f terminal
done

but it didn`t work :(

Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0"
./.xsession: line 19: [1]: not found

:(:(:(

I guess there are two unrelated things happening:

(1) Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0" is a warning message that appears on many occasions. I believe if you search this forum here you will find the repeated advise to ignore it.

(2) ./.xsession: line 19: [1]: not found There needs to be spaces around the square brackets. You will find that [1] fails, whilst [ 1 ] should succeed.

ACPI must be enabled in the BIOS and not disabled by boot code.

Title: Re: bootlocal.sh did not run on startup
Post by: tomkva on January 03, 2010, 02:42:39 PM

in bios acpi support is enabled
can be, that TC sen wrong command for poweroff?
did i must modify kernel for this solution?

Make sure you do not pass it an acpi=off bootcode.

Title: Re: bootlocal.sh did not run on startup
Post by: tomkva on January 03, 2010, 02:52:33 PM

i do not know why, but then i wass try 2.9 RC, was try another thincliink client edition, my TC think client edition will start work ok
so, now i have a pxe boot solution with ~30s booting time, rdesktop is starting automatically. in desktop user have two icons - poweroff and rdesktop
cool!!!
if anybody wants to try Tiny Core Thinclient OS :) - just write for me, or i can put it somewhere?
