Yes, except on most models of Raspberry Pi. Pis earlier than the Pi 3 can't network boot at all, the Pi 3B's network boot firmware is so buggy as to be unusable, and while the the Pi 3B+ can network ... |

Ubuntu disabled SSLv3 at the OpenSSL library level starting from the 16.04 (Xenial) release. Unfortunately TMS (<= 8.0.0) still uses SSLv3 for (non-HTTPS) data exchanges with tms_client. ... |

For security reasons, no local user account in TLXOS has a password, including the root account, so it is not possible to access to an interactive root shell by any means that involves password entry.... |

TLXOS licenses are perpetual, but at present your ability to upgrade TLXOS is time-limited to three years from the date of license activation (the "Support Expiry" date, although we have never enforce... |

We do not yet have support in the ThinLinX GUIs to do this, but you can do it manually by SSHing to the device as root (by using TMS to upload an SSH public key and then SSHing using the corresponding... |

The TMS agent's (tms_client's) default TMS server discovery behaviour (the "auto" method) tries the "dhcp" method first, then the "static" method (values default to hostname "tms" and port 8085), and ... |

The Pi 4 is dual-display capable (it has two micro-HDMI connectors), although some functionality (e.g. H.264 acceleration, HDMI audio, displaying 4K resolutions at 60 Hz instead of 30 Hz) is limited t... |
|
|
Right now (TMS <= 8.1.x, TLXOS <= 4.7.x) we still use fixed resolution lists that limit the maximum resolution we offically support on the Raspberry Pi to 1920x1080, which is the highest resolut... |

TLXOS has kernel drivers for all common USB serial adapters, so your adapter ought to work locally (if you are in any doubt, start a local terminal window using <ctrl><alt>t and use "ls /d... |

On a newly installed device that has never before connected via HDX, you must enter the Netscaler hostname rather than the Storefront server hostname in TMS/Tlxconfig's Server[:Port] field. When you e... |

It is possible to configure both HDX and Horizon modes to launch a specific published application or desktop without ever letting the user access the main Workspace App Horizon Client / UI. In both c... |

Unlike Citrix and Horizon clients, the RDP client doesn't have a useful default position on USB device redirection and will not attempt to redirect anything by default. FreeRDP also normally has hard... |

We deliberately disabled client-side multimedia and HTML5 rendering in TLXOS for HDX and Horizon modes because it just wasn't worth the hassle. The Linux ports of Citrix Workspace App and VMware Hori... |

Citrix Workspace App has a default policy that is pretty good at anticipating typical USB redirection requirements, and you will rarely need to alter this. At present ThinLinX UIs (TMS and Tlxconfig)... |

Both Citrix Workspace App and VMware Horizon Client have ARM ports that are functionally very limited in comparison with their x86/x86_64 Linux ports. ThinLinX does not have access to the source code... |

Both Citrix Workspace App and VMware Horizon Client have minimally functional support for H.264 hardware acceleration that prevents use of their drop-down toolbars. The nature of the H.264 hardware ac... |

If you encounter problems uploading a CA certificate to your TLXOS device, it is probably because it is in the wrong format. There is a binary format (DER) and a text format (PEM/Base64) and TLXOS re... |

You were probably hoping for a solution resembling Active Directory Group Policy, but we don't have the resources to do anything that sophisticated yet (read as: you aren't paying us enough for that!)... |

Yes, TLXOS has a VNC-based session shadowing feature, but it doesn't work the way that you probably think it does. TLXOS uses stunnel-encapsulated reverse VNC, for three reasons:

This is most likely the result of Workspace App crashing, which in turn is likely to be related to use of H.264 hardware acceleration.
Up until Reciever 13.7.0, "our" ctxh264.so add-on (which is actua... |

There are several known issues with the UEFI BIOS on Intel Compute Sticks and certain NUC models (mainly the more recent ones).:
In order to boot TLXOS (or pretty much anything other than Windows), yo... |

Yes, TLXOS is Linux. It's is a slightly modified version of Debian stable (currently 9.x (Stretch), we will upgrade to 10.x, (Buster) very soon). TLXOS RPi IoT is based on Raspbian 9.x instead of De... |

Both.
On x86 platforms, TLXOS uses a 32-bit userspace but (typically) a 64-bit kernel. ISFF (a.k.a. NUC32/NUC64) uses a 64-bit kernel only, whereas RePC has both 32- and 64-bit kernels and automatica... |

At present, TLXOS is designed to run a single fullscreen application (or desktop) only. While it is in most cases technically possible to escape from fullscreen mode and launch another session (e.g. ... |

It is not obvious at first glance that it is possible to perform a "careful install" of TLXOS ISFF and RePC by using the installer's "Upgrade/Recover TLXOS" menu option rather than the "Wipe Everythin... |

This happens when H.264 hardware acceleration, using either VA-API or VDPAU, is only partly functional. While this works reliably on the more restrictive set of GPU hardware supported by TLXOS ISFF, ... |

xbindkeys mappings are as follows:

Unfortunately, while redirection of printers from a Windows client is simple and "just works", high-level redirection of printers from a Linux client is arcane and difficult. If the printer is connec... |

We do not maintain any kind of hard ware compatibility list - this is not practical for a software distribution that aspires to run on a wide range of desktop hardware.
TLXOS RPi IoT supports all Rasp... |

Yes. TLXOS is fundamentally just Debian Linux, so you can use standard Debian tools such as apt-cache and apt-get to locate and install additional software, and perform whatever configuration changes... |
|

Not really. Since TLXOS is intended to be a product rather than a custom solution, our main strategy is to perform post-install configuration using TMS rather than pre-install customization.

It's difficult to answer a generic question about TLXOS "lockdown", because this is a vague term that means different things to different customers. We have conflicting requirements from customers th... |

It's likely that you are trying to license hardware that we have blacklisted.
Our licensing of x86 hardware is critically dependent on the mainboard manufacturer providing a DMI/SMBIOS product UUID th... |
