ThinPro OS Images

This section explains how to prepare and capture a ThinPro operating system image.

Prepare the ThinPro Reference Machine

To prepare ThinPro client for image capture, you will need the following:

Before you capture the image, you must install the HPCA agent on the ThinPro device.

See “Installing the HPCA Agent on HP Thin Client Devices” in the HP Client Automation Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide for details.

To create a custom connection for xterm:

Note: If the HPCA Registration and Loading Facility (RALF) is not pre-installed on the reference machine, it should be installed after the HPCA agent is installed.

If you are using the ThinPro operating system, you may need to create a custom connection to create an xterm connection.

  1. From the HP menu in the lower left corner, select Shutdown.
  2. From the Thin Client Action drop down, select switch to admin mode and specify the Administrator password (default password is root).

    Note: Control Center background will change from blue to red.

  3. From the Control Center, click the Add drop down list and select the custom option.
  4. Set Name to xterm.
  5. Set Command to run to:

    sudo xterm -e bash &.

  6. Click Finish.

You now have a connection you can use to open an xterm session.
