Chapter 8. Client Platforms

8.6. Running ThinLinc on a Thinstation terminal

The Thinstation project (http://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/) is an opensource thin client Linux

distribution that can be booted in many different ways, including entirely over the network on diskless

machines and via a LiveCD.

A client package for ThinStation is shipped as part of the ThinLinc client distribution. In this section, we

will document how to use and conﬁgure this package with Thinstation.

Note: To run the ThinLinc client in ThinStation, you need ThinStation version 2.2 or later. However,

on ThinStation version 2.4 and later, the ThinLinc client will be downloaded automatically during the

build process. Thus the download procedure is only needed for ThinStation 2.2. However, the

conﬁguration step is needed for both 2.2 and 2.4.

There are two alternative methods of getting a Thinstation image with the ThinLinc client included. The

ﬁrst one is to use one of the TS-O-Matic servers available. They allow you to build Thinstation images

online, and should generally have the ThinLinc client available as an option. The TS-O-Matic servers are

available from the Thinstation webpages (http://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/). The second is to

download the Thinstation distribution, add the ThinLinc client package and then conﬁgure and build a

Thinstation image manually. This requires access to a Linux box.

Below, we will describe the second method

8.6.1. Installing and Building the Package

Begin by downloading and unpacking the Thinstation main distribution available from the Thinstation

webpages (http://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/).

Enter the Thinstation directory created while unpacking, and unpack the ThinLinc Thinstation client

package, found in the client-thinstation directory in the Client Bundle, into this directory:

$ tar zxvf tl-4.3.0-4538-client-thinstation.tar.gz

This will unpack ﬁles into the packages/thinlinc directory, as well as the ﬁle README.thinlinc

which contains some summarized information on the package.

Edit the build.conf and add a line ’package thinlinc’ in the Applications section.

Run the build script and wait for its completion.

If everything went well, there will now be Thinstation images available in the boot-images directory.

Use the appropriate boot image for your preferred boot method.

8.6.2. Conﬁguring the ThinLinc client when running on a Thinstation

Terminal

When running on a network-booted Thinstation terminal, the client is conﬁgured by adding statements to

the conﬁguration ﬁle that is downloaded at boot by Thinstation. The default name of this ﬁle is

thinstation.conf.network, located in your tftproot. There can also be other ﬁlenames that

conﬁgures speciﬁc terminals based on their IP or hardware (MAC) addresses.
